The Bashful Lover.
Ah, -well! John came to-night, and stood
For full an hour beside the bars;
And we two watched between the trees,
The glimmer of the moon and stars.
John acted very strange, I think—
I wish I knew the reason why;
I really thought he meant to say
Something to-night besides good-by.
John’s oaming here quite often now;
I-m sure I don’t know why he should—
Although my sister Jenny Bays
It’s talked about the neighborhood
That ho is making love to m
The strangest thing I ever heard;
For if It’s true how queer it is
That John has never said a word.
Ah, well! I shouldn’t care so much
It John hlmselt had told me so;
For then he might have said it ail
Upon his own account, you know,
But he’s so bashful 1 believe
He’d never dare to speak out plain;
I hope he’ll muster courage up.
And try it, when he comes again.
It cannot be that I’m to blame—
-1 m sure I’ve helped him all I could;
I’ve always met him at the bars,
And talked as any woman would
That had a lover whom she liked,
ivnd waited with her heart aglow,
For him to break the subjeot hrst,
And then how quick she’d let him know!
But John he keeps a coming still,
Just as he has tor twelve months past;
I’ve thought sometimes It looked as tnough
I’d have to speak rnysell at last.
I’m bound that he shall know the truth,
And now, resolved, I cannot wait
For him to lind It out himaell;
And so, neat tliho, I’ll try my fate.

Capital Meeting.
Pursuant to a call through the Jour
nal, a large number of the citizens of
McDuffie county, assembled in the
Court House at Thomson on the 31st
ult., to consider the propriety of peti
tioning the next Legislature to have
the seat of Government removed back
to Milledgeville. After organization,
a Committee was appointed to draft
resolutions expressive of the sense of
the people of McDuffee county on the
subject matter for which the meeting
had assembled. The Committee report
ed the following resolutions through
their Chairman, Col. M. C. Fulton,
which were unanimously adopted:
Whereas, The seat of government
waß moved from Milledgeville to Allan
ta against the wishes of our people,
and, as we believe, of a large majority
of the intelligent citizens of tne State;
Whereas, The old capilol buildings
at Milledgeville are muen better suited
for the purposes of the government
than those now occupied in Atlanta,
and moreover, can be had without coßt,
being the property of the State, a matter
of grave importance to our people in
their impoverished condition;
Whereas, The ciiy of Atlanta has
failed to comply in good iaith, if we
are correctly informed, with her volun
tary pledge to furnish all necessary
public buildings for the use of the gov
ernment for ten years without cost to
the State; rT , ,
Whereas, The Opera House and the
Governor’s Mansion have been pur
chased at enormously high prices, and
we believe, in leckless disregard of the
wishes and true interests of our people;
and finally,
Whereas, The administration of the
State government since Us removal to
Atlanta has been both corrupt and ex
travagant, squandering absolutely mill
ions of the public funds, and wantonly
imposing heavy burdens of taxation,
which it is impossible for our people to
bear longer without utter ruin and
bankruptcy; therefore,
Resolved Ist, That wo, the people ol
McDuffie county, earnestly appeal to
our fellow-citizens, “from the moun
tains to the seaboard,” who are in favor
of honesty and economy in the admin
istration of the government, and op
posed to the reckless squandering of
the public funds, in the purchase of H.
I. Kimball’s Opera State House and
Bullock Governor’s Mansion at fabulous
prices, and to other like venality and
corruption which has characterized the
government since its removal to Atlan
ta, to unite with us in demanding of the
legislature at its approaching session,
such action as shall be deemed best cal
culated to effect the speedy removal of
the seat of government from Atlanta
back to the old Capitol building at Mil
ledgeville, so long renowned for the
eloquence, statesmanship, patriotism,
fidelity and honesty of our public men,
and now hallowed by glorious memories
of the better days of the republic.
Resolved 2d, That we hereby instruct
our Representatives and Senators to
advocate the removal of the Capital
back to Milledgeville, and to favor the
sale or rent, as shall be deemed best by
them, of the Opera State House and the
Bullock Governor’s mansion, so-called,
in the city of Atlanta, so as to protect
whatever interest the State rightfully
owns in said buildings.
Resolved , 3d, That we cordially invite
the co-operation of the good people of
our State, and respectfully suggest the
holding of county meetings, to con aider
the question of the removal of the State
Capital back to Milledgeville.
HOWE.
Three thousand Howes—that is,
members of the Howe family—met at
Farmingham, Massachusetts, on the
31st of August. It was perhaps the
largest family reunion ever held. Din
ner was prepared in a ‘mammoth tent,’
for the whole family. A song of wel
come, written by Julia (Ward Howe,
was sung. An oration was delivered
by Mr. Joseph Howe, of the Dominon
of Canada. Another song, by Caroline
Howe, was sung. The newspaper ac
count of the affair proceeds to say:
At the dinner of the Howe family
over 3,000 people sat down. Large ar
rivals from distant points came on the
ground during the day, having been
detained on New Y r ork roads. Illinois,
Ohio, Wisconsin, lowa, Oregon and
South America were represented, in
some instances by whole families. The
poem by Mrs. Julia Ward Howe was
the gem of the literary exercises. Af
ter dinner Col. Howe; Rev. Francis
Howe, aged eighty-two, of New Bed
ford; John Howe, of Providence; Rev.
Dr. DeWolf Howe, of Philadelphia;
Mrs. Louisa G. Benton Howe, of Bom
bay; Mrs. Caroline Howe, of Portland,
Me.; William Howe, of Rah way, N. J.;
Dr. G. Howe, of Natick, made speeches.
Resolutions were adopted thanking
Elias Howe, Hon. Joseph Howe, and
001. Frank E. Howe. The youngest
representative of the Howe family pres
ent was four months old, and belonged
to Boston.
We suppose—thoughit is not express
ly so stated—that the greeting of the
guests was “Howe are you?” but, as it
was in the land of steady habits, we
are notto presume that, when, they par
ted, it was “Howe come you so?”

Martial Law In South Carolina.
—A Washington telegram dated Sept.
Bth, to the Louisville Courier-Journal,
says “the administration appears to be
retracting its steps in the proposition to
declare martial law in South Carolina.
The Cabinet meeting which was ap
pointed for to-day to dispose of the
question, has been indefinitely post
poned. Two facts have contributed to
this result—the first is a protest from
influential Republican quarters against
such a step, and the second is the entire
absence of any confirmation of Senator
Ssott’s bugaboo stories as to the condi
tion of affairs in that State. The War
Department reports from officers of the
army on duty in South Carolina utterly
fail to mention any new outrages, as al
leged, and the department, therefore,
has no intention of issuing a circular
letter of instructions, as has been re
ported.”
Horace Greeley, a Prophet. —Dr.
Greeley, as a prophet, has turned up.
In 1852 he wrote as follows for Gra
ham’s Magazine: “We Americans of
tho nineteenth century will be found in
due time to hare inscribed ourselves
most legibly 1 on the earth’s unfading j
record. * * * A railroad over the |
Rocky Mountains, a telegraph across j
the Atlantic, a towering observatory j
wherein all the storms and calms at any
moment prevailing within the earth’s -
atmosphere shall be portrayed on a
common dial plate, and the storms!
which shall take place at any point dur- ;
ing the next day or week, with their
several directions and intensities.” i
And all these things Lave come to pass
in his day and generation. Great is
America, and Dr. Greeley is her chief
prophet.
Snakey. —Mr. Richard H. Brooks,
who lives about five miles west of
Blakely, informs one of our citizens that
within a circuit of four miles in his
neighborhood, twenty-nine Rattle
snakes, measuring from five to seven

ent summer. Two others were seen by
some little girls that were not disturb

UEORGIA ITEMS
Mr. Wright Blackshear, confined in
Randolph county Jail, charged with
fogery, died in prison last week.
The cotton receipts at Macon, from
Sept. Ist to the 9th, were only 122 bales.
This is lighter than any year for the
last twenty years
The Griffin Star, referring to the lie I t
receipts of cotton at that place, says
farmers generally express the opinion
that this crop is “a short horse and will
be soon curried.”
Henry and Joseph Huie, charged
with the murder of" Oapt. Dollar, a short
time ago, in Clayton County, Ga., were
tried in the Superior Court of that
county last week, and acquitted.
The Atlanta fair commences October
10th and continues five days. Ten
thousand dollars in premiums are offer
ed, and provisions h&vo been made for
the comfort of twenty-five thousand vis
itors. It will be a big thing.
The name of the eitizen of Rome,
killed by the recent railroad collision on
the Louisville and Nashville Railroad,
was Dr. I. A. Thomas, and not Dr.
James Thomas, as stated in the tele
grams published. His family reside in
Cartersville.
Mr. Oscar V. Brown, a most respec
ted and worthy citizen of Baldwin
county, Ga. .died at his residence in that
county, on Friday last. He was a Ma
son of high standing, and at the time of
his death, was Past High Priest of Tern

The Bainbridge Argus says the ob
structions to the navigation of Flint
river above that place, heretofore exist
ing at the Arnett bridge across that
stream, have been removed, and that
steamboats can now pass under the
bridge without difficulty. This will be
good news to our worthy steamboat
men.
The Savannah' papers contain the an
nouncement of the death of the vener
able Isaac Cohen, for more than fifty
years a merchant of that city, which
-occurred on Wednesday last, in the
seventy-ninth year of his age. Mr. C.
was a native of Charleston. He settled
in Savannah and entered Into mercan
tile pursuits in 1815, in which capacity
he was held in high esteem.
The African brother Turner, preacher
and legislator, it is related, preached a
“mad” sermon at a camp-meeting in
Monroe county last week. He said they
had made no preparation had no
chickens, no pork, no comfortable beds
for the preachers—and unless these
things were attended to instanter, he,
as a presiding elder, would break up
the meeting. As the meeting didn’t
stop, it is to be presumed the brethren
“went for” the good things in a hurry.
We learn from the Atlanta Sun that
the Court House of Gwinnett county,
Ga., at Lawrenceville, was burned last
week. The fire took place at a late
hour of the night and had progressed
too far before discovered to rescue the
county records or papers and all were
consumed. It was undoubtedly the
work of an incendiary, and one man,
who was under bond for a criminal
offence, has been arrested under suspi
cious circumstances, as one of the guil
ty parties. The Superior Court of that
county was to have opened last Mon
day.
The Bainbridge Argus says, “We do
not remember ever to have seen a poor
er prospect for a cotton crop than is
presented by all the fields on the vari
ous roads we have traveled in the last
ten or twelve dayß. We are disposed
to believe that this region of Georgia
will not make more than half as much
this year as it did last year.”
The editor found other crops good.
It must be pleasant to the farmers of
that section to know that whilst they
have a poor cotton crop, they have an
abundance of the staff of life. We wish
as much could be said for this section.

THE STATE HOLD FRAUDS.
Au Ailauta correspondent of the New
York Herald gives a summary of the
various rascalities among the officials of
the Stale Road, as developed through
the ageucy of Mr. McOalla, the book
keeper. The following extract will be
inieitsiing to those who have not taken
the truuble to wade through the pre
liminary examinations :
Guilt is firßt fixed on Joseph Fry,
who held the position of chief clerk to
Edward P. Blodgett, a son of Foster
Blodgett, who held the position of gen
eral purchasing agent to the road.
Fry, it appears, had been authorized to
eigu BiodgeU’s name to bills presented
(or certification, and on all the fraudu
lent bills discovered his hand-writing,
signing BiodgeU’s name, appeared. At
inis juncture it was decided that fur
ther concealment was impolitic. Fry
was regarded as an intimate friend of
Foster Blodgett, in whose house he re
sided, and with whom he was supposed
to hold confidential relations.
McOalla informs Foster Blodgett and
Governor Builock, who do nothing for
three months. McOalla pressed his in
vestigations every day, discovering
fresh evidences and rascality, and, as
neither Bullock nor Blodgett seemed
willing to proceed, he determined to
take upon himself all the resposibility
of arresting and punishing the rascals.
Fry is arrested and released on bail
of $250; is again arrested and the bail
bond is increased to $2,000, and imme
diately absconds. Mr. N. P. Hotchkiss,
auditor of the road, and Mr. Alexander,
a merchant, are next arrested. Hotch
kiss denies; Alexander confesses his
guilt, and'states that he was instructed
by Fry to make out a bill against the
road tor $5,995 40, in the name of his
firm, which had previously had bana
fide transactions with the road. Fry
next made him draw up a bill for the
exact amount in the name of McGiven,
Grant & Cos., an imaginary house, do
ing business in New York. Both these
bills were paid, and Alexander got his
share of the plunder. During the ex
animation, he confessed having paid
back $3,900 as “conscience money,”
received from this and other transac
tions.
Fry now offers himself as a witness,
and implicates in the swindling, James
Mullins, the master machinist; Isaac P.
Harris, the treasurer; N. P. Hotchkiss,
the auditor; and himself, and that they
had robbed the State of an enormous
sum of money. Certification of bills,
each certifying for another, to Harris,
the treasurer, who paid the money, is
adopted, confesses having the billheads
of “McGiven, Grant & Cos., commission
and metal dealers, New York agency,”
printed in Philadelphia, and how much
money has been paid to this fictitious
house has not yet been ascertained.
Harris and Wren, ticket agentß, are
then arrested on a charge of stealing
$14,000 of money received. The defal
cation was known to Blodgett months
ago, but he never moved a finger in the
matter. It is not stated whether Wren
was a party to another ring, but the
supposition is that others shared with
him the proceeds of his robberies. Mc-
Calla believes the frauds will amount to
$250,000.
After Fry had “peached,” BlodgoD,
by authority of the Governor, issuod an
order removing the treasurer and audi
tor. This was all right and proper; but
he also removed the book keeper, Maj.
McOalla, who had been solely instru
mental in unearthing the frauds.
lion. Obarles P. Kimball.
The Boston Post of the 7th, speaks
thus of Hon. O. P. Kimball, the Demo
cratic candidate for Governor of Maine:
The Workingmen have been organiz
ing for effective co-operation with the
Democrats, as in New Hampshire,
feeling that both are engaged in the
same cause and resolved to rout the
party of false pretences. They accept
Charles P. Kimball as the true repre
sentative of their own class, a laboring
man all bis life, the friend of laboring
men, and the defender of all the inter
ests of industry. No other candidate
could be more entirely acceptable to
their judgments. They know to whom
they are indebted for the present stag
nation of business of all kinds, and
what policy it is that makes the grass
grow in a long coast-line of ship yards,
silences the hum of once busy towns
and villages and banishes so large a
part of the home population to distant
titates. The leading Radical journals
tell them they can go elsewhere if there
is no work for them in Maine, as if they
had no choice of residence, and were
fit only to be nomads in quest of a liv
ing over the continent. In return for
such heartleßs advice, they will not fail
to express their own positive sentiment s
at the ballot-box, and to claim the priv
ilege of remaicing in the homes which
the industry of years has secured.
The model letter of Mr. Kimball, ac
cepting the nomination, was the fit ac
companiment to the platform adopted
by the convention. Upon him all
minds were concentrated as the man
above all others to be nominated and
worthy to administer the affairs of the
State. In his character and career he
embodies tbe spirit of the times, and
pledges himself to do the work demand
ed by the people.

ions, Nevada and the several Territories
having at wild guess about one million

seems that an average of one in four of
our inhabitants own a horse.
Unfortunate and Fatal Affair.
—We have indefinite particulars of a
most unforturate and fatal affair which
transpired on Saturday last, at the resi
dence of Dr. W. Carr, near Sanders
ville, Washington county. It appears
that Dr. Carr and his son-in-law, Mr.
Seaton Grantland, had a few angry
words between them in regard to the
attendance of a physician who had been
summoned to see Mrs. Grantland, who
was sick. The quarrel originated at
Dr. Carr’s residence, and soon after
Grantland left the house, and had pro
ceeded some fifty or one hundred yards,
he was followed by Dr. Carr, when a
fight ensued, it is thought (as no one
witnessed the difficulty,) in which
Grantland was shot and almost instant
ly killed. Both parties are well known
here to many of our citizens and both
occupied high social positions in life. —
Macon Telegraph.
We learn from the Milledgeville
Union, that the Coronor’s Jury, after
an investigation of the matter of the
killing, rendered a verdict of justifiable
homicide.
M. d’Tocqueville, nephew of the late
statesman, will probably be the French
Minister to Washington.
“I’ll put a girdle round about the earth In
forty minutes.”
By nothing is the rapid advance of j
science more completely demonstrated
than by tha astronomical facts which
are being predicted, and by the well
established “weather probabilities,”
which we receive daily from the observ
atory at Washington. And yet the j
complete knowledge of the heavenly j
elements is, with us, only in its infan- j
cy. It is scarcely more than a year j
since the United States Government i
could be persuaded to recognize the |
importance of establishing an observa
tory and thus aid other nations in the ;
pursuit of knowledge. Every Presi
dent up to the day of John Quincy j
Adams, had recommended an appropri
tion for ice purpose without success,
and when, in 1825, Mr. Adams also
recommended it, even as great a mind
as that of William H. Crawford, of
Georgia, in a letter to Henry Clay, rid
iculed the idea of “these light-houses
of the skies.” Y'et, we are now reap
ing the fruits oi them. In this connec
tion we copy from President Adams’
Message of December 6ih,/1825.
“ Will the establishment of a univers
ity, or separate lrom it, might be under
taken the erection of an Astronomical
Observatory, with provision for the
support of an astronomer, to be in con
stant attendance ol observation upon
the phenomena of the heavens, and for
the periodical publication of his observ
ations. It is with no feeling of pride
as an American that the remark may
be made that, in the comparatively
small territorial surface of Europe, there
are existing upwards of one hundred
and thirty of these light houses of the
skies, while throughout the whole
American hemisphere there is not one.
If we reflect a moment upon the discov
eries which, in the last four centuries,
have been made in the physical constl
tution of the universe by the means of
these buildings and observers stationed
in them, shall we doubt their useful
ness to any nation? And while scarce
ly a year passes over our heads without
bringing some new astronomical dis
covery to light, which we must fain to
receive second hand from Europe, are
we not cutting ourselves off from the
means of returning light for light, while
wo have neither observatory nor ob
server upon our half of the globe, and
the earth revolves in perpetual darkness
to our unsearching eyes?”
About Cotton.
The statement of the year’s cotton
crop and movements as made up by the
New York Financial Chronicle, pre
sents some suggestive figures. The
total crop exceeded by several thousand,
four million three hundred thouaand
bales. If, with our present labor, we
can raise so large a crop as this, would
it not be the policy of common pru
dence not to augment the productive
power of this field labor by the intro
duction of the Coolie ? The question
of bringing in this labor still agitates
tho country press, and necessarily en.
gages the attention of planters to some
extent. The beggarly returns to the
latter fiom the heavy crop of 1870-1
should convince them of the folly of
putting additional force in the field.
What wc need is to diversy production
and inaugurate practical measures for
settling among us an intelligent, in
dustrial white immigration. But, this
by the way. Next, the extent of the
cotton manufacture of the South, com
pares favorably with that of the North.
We consumed 91,249 bales, while to
the North and Canada are credited
228,923. Considering our small and
sparse population and limited manu
facturing power as compared with the
North and West’s teeming hives and
New England’s innumerable iron mills,
this exhibit is flattering and encourag
ing to ua.
Our great and only drawback in this
direction is want of capital. "With this
supplied, the skilled labor required will
readily come when invited. But we
need not idly wait for large capital and
skilled operatives, as, if we should lim
it our efforts even to turning out yarn
alone, wc would be building up a profit
able industry, a branch of the cotton
manufacture that gives employment to
thousands in the North. The value of
the crop to the South, was only one
half, say, or even a quarter of it thus
worked up, would be greatly increased.
With the extension of manufactures,
the mechanical and other useful arts,
the introduction of intelligent white
labor and a diversified agriculture, the
South, with her cotton, sugar and rice
crops and steadily developing mineral
wealth, would in a decade lie the wealth
iest country on the globe.— N. 0.
Picayune.
Shout Honey moon!— One Ranzy,
said to be an Alabamian, but for the
last three weeks a resident of Pike coun
ty, where he was engaged by the
month as a day laborer, has been using
his rainy days and Sundays in the laud
able business of courting; and on Wed
nesday his gallant labors culminated
successfully by his marriage with a re
spectable widow named Reeves, who
had three daughters about grown.
Whereupon the newly wedded pair, and
the Misses Reeves, started bag and bag
gage for Alabama, or some other sea
port. One night spent with his bride,
seemed to cool the connubial ardor of
the bridegroom, and in Atlanta he qui
etly slipped off from her, after getting
possession of what little money she had,
and checked her baggage to King-ston,
Ga. The widow, in great tribulation,
returned to Griffin on her way back to
old Pike. She recovered her baggage,
but her pocket change has gone twining
with the faithless husband.
This case is another warning to old
widows to beware of young stranger
beaux. Be sure they mean no good,
and therefore give them no encourage
ment. — Oriffin Star.
We are rejoiced to read such senti
ments coming from the Savannah Re
publican :
Wc confess that we do not like the
platform of California Democrats. —
They took their cue from a few weak
kneed and misguided Democrats of the
Northern States—such men as figured
in the late Pennsylvania Convention —
and, under a supposed necessity, made
concessions to Radicalism which the
Bober, patriotic portion of the party
could not approve. They declared in
their platform “that we regard the three
several amendments to the Constitution
recently adopted as a settlement in fact
of all the issxes of the war, and that the
same are no longer issues before the
country.” In other words, they pledged
themselves to regard these Radical
usurpations as a final settlement of the
questions to which they relate, and the
fixed, permanent, unalterable policy of
the government. Such appears to usto
be a fair and legitimate interpretation
of the language of the resolution. This
is a “new departure” indeed, and no
true Democrat can give his sanction
to it.
A Washington letter of the 7th ins;.,
to the Savannah Advertiser, has the
following significant paragraph:
Prior to the publicating of Treasurer
Angier’s testimony there was some lit
tle demand for Bullock’s seven per
cent, gold bonds in New York. The
expose of their utter worthlessness has
completely stopped their sale, and the
quotations occasionally given, are,
from what is known in financial cir
cles, as “wash sales.” For instance,
Clews & Cos., will send two attorneys
to the stock exchange; when Georgia
sevens are called one of these attorneys
will bid 98J for 5,000. His partner im
mediately cries out, “sold.” Thus a
high quotation is officially obtained,
when, in reality, there was no bid for
the bonds at any price. In fact, it is
doubtful if any portion of these bonds
could be negotiated at any price.
The editor of the Galveston News has
been shown two stalks of Sea Island
cotton grown on the farm of Mr. John
Hampshire, near High Island, in Gal
veston county. The stalks measured
10 j feet in height, and had on them 100
bolls and forms each. The News says
“this cotton is of prolific growth and
easy of culture, and we are glad to know
that all those who have undertaken to
raise it have been successful beyond
their expectations.”

CONSUMPTION.
The very low prices which have ruled dur
ing the past season havo naturally resulted
la lncroased takings by our splnuers, not
alone to supply an enlarged consumption, but
also to add to their stock in view of the proba
bility that the next orop is to be marketed at
higher rates. Wo are Indebted to the statisti
cal officers of the late National Association of
Cotton Manufacturers for a statement of the
quantity of cotton the mills now have on band
compared with September 1,1870, and Septem
ber l, 1869, and lrom this statement It would
appear that while In 1860-69 the amount taken
by spinners was about 50,000 bales In excess of
their consumption, and In 1869-70 about 33,876
bales less than their consumption; this year
they have taken 80,760 bale3 more than they
have consumed. In other words they now
hold 80,750 bales more stock than they did
twelve months ago. Our own summary of the
movement made up from the crop figures
which we have given above is as lollows. It
will be seen that In stating tho consumption,
we, ol necessity, include the stocks at Provi
dence and other interior points north of the
Ohio and Potomac, as oar system ol arriving
at tho overland movement brings every bale
which has crossed thoso rivers into our total
crop.

The foregoing statement indicates that the
Northern mills have taken from this crop
1,008,958 bales. It we now apply to these fig
ures, and also to our figures ol the previous
two years, the statement of increase of stock
received from tho statistical officers of tho
Cotton Manufacturers’Association,and which
we havo referred to above, we shall have the
following as the actual consumption of the
mills for the three years:
1868-69. 1809-70. 1870-71.
Taken by Northern
mills bales. 918,806 806,860 1,008,956

Reduction of mill st’k

Tot. oon’tion of mills 948,808 930,736 1,019,448
These totals show an increase In actual con
sumption this year of only about 100 000 bales,
This, however, is not strictly correct, as In
last year’s figures some deduction should bo
mado for a dlfforenoe In Northern Interior
stocks, &0., as stated in our crop report of that
year, which would leave this year’s inorease
somewhat larger. The above statement fur
nishes a very gratifying indication of the
prosperity of our cotton manufacturing inter
est during tho season which has just closed.
The Cotton Prospect on Geoii
gia’s Best Cotton Lands. —The Al
bany News claims to be in possession
of reliable data from the whole of South
and Southwestern Georgia, relative to
the condition of the cotton crop, and re
ports a “disastrous failure.” The News
says: “This is no sensational announce
ment, and is not based upon doubtful
information. The best sections of this
portion of the State cannot possibly
reach two thirds of an average crop,
while the poorer sections will scarcely
exceed one-third. The acreage of the
latter being much the largest, the plain
deduction is that a half crop will not be
raised. Before the recent storms and
continued rains, the better lands prom
ised a good yield, but not a full crop.
Now tho rust is making fearful ravages,
and the caterpillar is spreading with de
structive rapidity. Wo have direct in
telligcnce from nearly all the large plan
tations in the Oakwoods belt, and the
concurrent testimony discloses disaster
everywhere.”
BOSADALIS.
“Life of the flesh is the Blood."
The blood circulates throughout the
system, depositing new flesh, tissue
and muscle, as the old becomes effete
and disappears. If the new material
bo corrupt and unsound, it is evident
that the system will not perform its du
ties well; some part or another will be
like ill fitting machinery, that works
unevenly, and creaks and wears out of
shape. In this way the body becomes
the seat of suffering and disease. As
these are but the effects of impure
blood, it is evident that to the blood
the mode of cure must be directed. It
is here that the “Rosadalis” has its
value and reputation. It purifies the
blood. It puts the origin of the gradual
renovation that goes on throughout our
physical system on a sound, pure
healthy basis, and thus brings a robust
constitution, even where hope of relief
had fled. [sep!2 eod2w
The Eufaula News says an injunction
has been issued from the Chancery
Court of Barbour county, in obedience
to a fiat from Chancellor Felder, at the
suit of Dr. Barr, of Clayton, enjoining
the officers of tho Montgomery and Eu
faula Road from running through the
plantation of Mrs. Barr, formerly Miss
Hamiter, until the company settle tho
right of way through said plantation.
The News says the injunction was
served on several of the officers of the
road on Thursday last.
Female Suffrage.— Judge Under
wood, of Virginia, has published his
opinion (unofficial) that all women will
be permitted to deposit their ballots in
the Presidential contest of 1872.
Chief Justice Howes, of Nebraska,
has delivered the same opinion offi
cially.
The Montgomery and Eufaula Rail
road is doing a heavy business in
freights from Montgomery, as it is al
leged by the people of Union Springs
and vicinity, for the reason of the lower
rate of freight charged on that road,
compared with those charged from Co
lumbus, by the Mobile and Girard.
This should not be.
The Montgomery Advertiser has been
informed that the difficulty about the
right of way of the Montgomery and
Eufaula Railroad, through Mrs. Dr.
Barr’s plantation, which we mentioned
yesterday,has been adjusted. The Ad
vertiser further Btates that the cars will
be running through to Eufaula by the
first week in October.
