The blinkers, merchants, and other bus iness men of F.ufaula publish a card in the papers of that city, in which they state that they have the advice of the best law yers that there is no viotation of law in the use of the Eagle and Phenix certificates of deposit, and that they will take them in payment of any debts and sell exchange on New York for them. Ft is gratifying to note this evidence of the confidence with which these certifi cates are received elsewhere. Here in Columbus we would have been in a sad plight without them. They have done more than anything else to ease the finan cial pressure here, and it has been tight ! enough at that. 15ut for these certiti- ! cates and the confidence with which our : people received them, trade would have j been almost suspended, and much distress i would doubtless have resulted. It was a ! very fortunate thing for Columbus that ! the Eagle and Phenix Bank of Deposit j was chartered and iu operation before tho ! panic commenced, and equally fortunate that the act of incorporation gave such protection to depositors as to secure them against the possibility of loss. It does this by making not only the immense pro perty of tho Manufacturing Company liable for the redemption of the certifi cates, but the private property of the stockholders also. Such security would afford ample protection lor millions of dol lars of the certificates, much less the com paratively small amount issued. Tho certificates have no doubt aided, also, in kepping the Factory iu full opera tion in this period of depression, and that is an advantage to Columbus that can hardly he overestimated. Who can tell the amount of suffering and the loss of trade that would result by tho deprivation of its hundreds of operatives of their regular wages ? Columbus has in this and her other Factories, at this critical time, an element of strength and conser vatism which cannot be too highly valued, flow much better would bo tho condition of Georgia if every section of the State had at (his time similar establishments, creating home markets for cotton and diversifying tho iudust.y of the people! Lot us hope that when the panic shall have passed over we will remember the indus tries that were most buoyant and self sustaining, so that before another finan cial crash comes our home resources for bearing up against it will be increased four-fold. THE It. A A. RAILROAD. The Brunswick Seaport Appeal of the 1 Hlh gives the particulars of tho sale of the Brunswick and Albany Railroad. It says that evidently several combinations were represented, and that the biddiug between them was for a time quite spirit ed. Ex-Gov. Brown led off with $305,000. It was understood that lie represesented the great Pennsylvania Railroad King, Tom Scott. Messrs. Love and Hazlehurst represented Georgia combinations. Mr. .1. If. Mayer, of Columbus,and Mr. Charles de Neufvillerepresented the German bond holders. Finally the toad was knocked down to llie representatives of the bond holders at $530,000. The fifteen cars bought from the Dawson Manufacturing Company, and upon which $5,025 are duo, wore sold separately, and were bid in by Major O. O. Nelson, of Dawson, for the above amount. The telegraph line which had been leased by the Western Union Company for five years, two of which had expired, w as also sold separate ly, and was bid in by D. O. Whitney for $2,1)00. A dispatch from Bainbridge to the Albany ,Vt ties, from Charles S. Schlatter, states that he took possession for the bondholders on the tilth; that nothing can he done west of Albauy until anew organization is accomplished; that engi neers will not lie wanted until the financial troubles are over; and that the road will be run the same as heretofore. Si 'in'ik Payments. The Philadelphia Ledger of the 7th says: The difficulty experienced in obtaining currency to pay wages, by 1 urge employing parties, has iif- j dueed at least one party hero to resort to the use of gold. The employees agree to take the coin at tire quoted market differ ence between marked checks and due • ells, which is about ten per cent. That is, DO cents in gold forsliu checks and due bills. This is unquestionably a step toward the resumption of specie pay ments. and as the difficulty in the way of readily obtaining a supply of currency is increased, the mewe general will a resort to the use of coin btcome. The London papers say the theory of the American aeronauts, that at a given altitude from the earth’s surface there is a constant curreut of ait' from west to east, has been disproved by Mr. Henry Ooxwell, who. on the 22il of September lust, with Mr. Bondler, Mr. Philip Ash ton ami Dr. Irvine,ascended in the Nassau balloon from Hornsey, and traveled at the specified altitude of over 10,(X)0 feet to Buckland, near Box Hill, Surrey. On that day, therefore, the current of the upper atmosphere was from north to south. A Lexington dispatch to the Louisville (’•urier-journ.il says the epi/.ooly is re ported to have appeared in some of the upper counties of Kentucky, though in a much milder form than last year. Some coughs, that sound very much hke those of last fall and winter, may occasionally he heard from horses here abouts. We notice, also, reports of influenza (a kindred disease) among the people of some of our Southern towns; but this, too, is represented to be milder than similar disease of last winter. The Radical State Government of Flor ida seems bent on another violation of law, to prevent the Conservatives from obtaining a majority in the Legislature. I he Tallahassee b’loridiun states the case thus: There are several vacancies in the titate Legislature, which arc required to he tilled by special election, these va cancies exist in Escambia, Leon, Madison, Duval and Monroe, (Senator), and- em brace four Senators aud five members of ike House. The election is required to tie held on Tuesday, November 4, but as >et no proclamation has appeared direct ing the vacancies to be filled The law requires not less than fifteen days notice to lit. given nor more than forty days from •lie day of the publication of the procla mation. Why this matter has been de layed so long is a mystery. Telegraphic Responsibikity. —The Su pit iue Court of Illinois has decided that telegraph companies are bound to trans mit messages correctly in the first instance, 1,11,1 that an additional charge for repeat mgi to insure correctness, is a fraud upon ’he public. A similar decision has been given in Ohio. VOL. XV. SOMETHING PRACTICAL. We direct attention to the report of the action of a Farmers’ Grange in DeKalb county. It may be that these planters will be somewhat disappointed as to the gain which they will make by shipping their cotton direct to Liverpool. We think that they do estimate the Liverpool price a little too high, and do not make sufficient allowance for tare, Ac. But we have no doubt that they will find the ex periment profitable, and we earnestly hope that it will prove so profitable as to induce them and others to repeat it. In our opinion, as we have heretofore said, direct shipment to Europe and the estab lishment of closer commercial and mone tary relations with that continent is an urgent need of the South. Wo are impo tent to reform either the financial Bys tems or the commercial demoralization of the North; but wo may be aide gradually to establish our independence of them. The DeKalb enterprise is a movement in that direction. Let it be followed up. But let not any cotton honorably pledged or equitably bound for the liquidation of debts at home be diverted from this ap propriation even for the purpose of direct shipment to Liverpool. Even enterprise and profit should be subordinate to hon esty. But this movement is encouraging to us in another view : It attests a determi nation on the part of the Grangers to make their organization a practical one. It indicates the bringing about of a sys tem of co-operation amougcotlon planters, the necessity of which they and others have long felt, but the means of accom plishing which was always so great a puzzle. If one local Grange can do what the planters of DeKalb propose to do, what may not a State organization of Granges accomplish ? We believe that if this movement is energetically followed up, the planters of the South, who have so long sought in vain for relief from the exactions of “middle men” and the fluc tuations caused by gamblers in the cur rency and produce of the country, may at last a exclaim Eureka! They may not only establish the long needed direct trade with Europe, hut they may to a great extent regulate the production of cotton according to the demand, diversify agri cultural industry so as to retain at home more of tho money obtained for cotton, and aid materially in the establishment among us of cotton factories to give em ployment to tho wives and children of laborors in the field 'Who can estimate the prosperity and stability of the cotton planters of (he South, with such aids and advantages as these? And who can limit the thrift and power of a section possess ing exclusively such an industry—so diver sified and self-sustaining? Push on the good work ! THE COTTON PROSPECT. Reference is made, in this connection, to an extract which we make from W. C. Watts & Co.’s Liverpool Colton Circular of the 3d inst.: The situation, as prognosticated by that Circular, may be briefly summed up thus: Iu the near future the prices of American cottons will be stiffly maintained, on ac count of the small and rapidly diminish ing stock in Liverpool and an apprehend ed pinch in the supply. But ultimately prices will be apt to fall —that is, as soon as our new crop goes forward so freely as again to accumulate large stocks in Eu rope. The financial condition has not af fected prices in Liverpool, but it is ex pected there that prices will lie depress ed in this country on account of a tight money market. These are mail advices to the 3d inst. On that day the quotations were—in Liv erpool, !kl highest for Uplands and 9jd highest for Orleans; in Now York, 18§(ffi I9je. Yesterday, the 22d inst., the quota tions were—in Liverpool, 9jd highest for Uplands, !Gd highest for Orleans; in New York, lt;j@l7jc. It will thus he seen that the predictions of the Circular have thus far been fully verified in respect to prices both in Liverpool and iu this coun try. While Liverpool prices have advanc ed jd on all grades of American, prices in New York have fallen off fully tom cents per pound ! This can be attributable to nothing else than our monetary condition, for certainly the receipts of the new crop have not been so large as to affect prices unfavorably, and even if they had been, buyers in Liverpool would have been in formed of it ns soon asthose in New York, by means of the telegraph. If, then, the New York prices of the 3d inst. were equal to the Liverpool quotations of the same day, New York prices to-day are at least two and a half cents per pound below what the Liverpool quotations would justify. This is equivalent to a loss of slo per bale, and loss to the South of $45,000,000 on a crop of three millions of bales 1 And all this on nocount of our unsettled financial condition. We have not time for extended com ment on “tho situation” as thus revealed. It shows how much move fortunate and advantageous our condition would have been, if wo had had, at the beginning of this monetary trouble, facilities for the direct shipment and commercial arrange ments for the ready sale of cotton to agencies among us of Europeau houses. It is the necessity of shipping cotton to New York, or selling it to New' Yolk agencies, that now makes us feel so acutely the financial derangements of the country. Now is the time to guard against a prolongation or repetition of those diffi culties. No Disbandment. —The New \o:k World thinks that the Democratic success j in the elections of last week will put a stop to all serious talk about the disband ment of the Democratic party, or the for mation of any other national organization ,to oppose Radicalism, bays the | “The notion that the Democracy will dis i baud and dissolve their organization is an | exploded idea. The opposition party, for i the next four years, will be tlie Democratic 1 party, aud uo other party. The hundreds ; 0 f thousands of citizens xvho have been ! waiting and watching, holding back from joining the Democratic organization in the expectation that it would be supplanted by some other, will now see that they are reduced to a choice between the. same two meat parties which have been arrayed against each other for s • many years, rtie Democractic party aud the Repnbli can party are to be the only two national parlies for the next four years. Red River Rapt. —A dispatch of the 17th iust., from Shreveport, stales that ; work is progressing on the last section | iif the “great raft," and that it will soon ;be entirely ent through. This will clear out Red river for seveial hundred miles above Shreveport for navigation to New Orleans. The dispatch says : “The Gov ernment steamer Sterling, Capt. Tenny son, from the raft works, stopped above the city a short distauee to-day. Capt. Tennyson, who is in town, says that the steamer Aid is w T ell into the last batch of raft, which is about one mile long and composed of floating logs. This raft cleared away, and the great Red River Raft will be no more, we hope, forever. All the hands at work, about one hundred aud fifty in number, are enjoying excel lent health. There have been no deaths among them for a long time. Edinbtjbg, Oct. 20.—Rev. Dr. Candlish, a famous Scottish preacher, is dead. 1 THE WEEKLY SUN. GEORGIA HEWS. The Atlanta Constitution of Sunday, speaking of a rumored defalcation in the postoffice of its city, says that an examina tion is progressing, and it is probable that i deficit will be discovered, which the Eostmaster will makegood. Rumor says 1 that James Dunning, son of the Postmas ter, is the defaulter. The defalcation ; amounts to $7,800. Atlanta, Ga., Oct. 20.—The money j order clerk of the Atlanta post office is a 1 defaulter for six thousand dollars. His father, who is the postmaster, says he will pay the full amount to the Government. 1 News was received to-day that the clerk i had sailed from Brunswick, Ga., for Cuba. i lie Franklin News, of the 17th, reports work still progressing on the North and •South Railroad,notwithstanding (lie panic. It says : “The grading is about completed from the river to Grab-all, and it is en i couraging to see how eager the hands i work. j A travellingcorrespondentof the Atlanta : Constitution reports astonishing activity of the cotton trade of upper Georgia. At Cartersville the place was crowded with wagons loaded with from ono to three bales of cotton. Every depot on the W. A A. Railroad had fordaysbeen surround ed with cotton, and the fields were white with it. Adairsville expects to receive 800 bales, against 75 last year, and other towns on the road to gain in like propor tion. The Sumter Republican learns that five young ladies of one household iu its city are to be married in the course of a few weeks. Cupid has not. suspended or panicked. Adairsville is soon to have a factory of 1,500 spindles. Mr. Baradell P. Stubbs, an aged citi- I zen of Macon, died on Friday. He was clerk of the Superior Court of Baldwin county for eighteen years. Iu the Superior Court of Wilkinson ! county, last week, Willis Whipple, color- 1 ed, was sentenced toten years in the pen itentiary for killing a negro woman; 1 Thos. E. McCrae, white, was sentenced for j eight years for killing a negro man, and Adam Brown, a negro preacher, convict ed of the murder of one of the official members of his church, but recommend ed to the mercy of the court, sentenced to imprisonment for life. In tho United Slates District Court at Savannah, last week, petitions iu bank ruptcy were filed by Jeptha Day and Sol omon H. Kenyon, of Stewart county, j Petitions for final discharge were filed by ! Mrs. Emma M. Cain and Martin McLen don of Stewart. At the Dawson Fair, closed last week,i Mr. E. B. Soyless took the premium for the best yield of corn. On five acres of upland pine woods he raised 138 j bushels, and on one acre 52} bushels. Air. W. D. Barclay took the cotton premium, gather ing 010 pounds of lint, at a cost, of sl4 82, from one acre. A brutal assassination occurred at By ron station, twenty miles below Alacon, Saturday night. A negro named Nelson Wilson fired a pistol through a window at Frank White. The ball struck him in the left side, killing him instantly. He was arrested, but afterwards made his escape. The theory for the murder is that a store had been robbed, and the assassin thought the victims would peach.— Correspondence Atlanta Herald. A most horrible case of the death of an infant comes to our knowledge. On Sat urday, iu the neighborhood of the Rolling Mill, a mother poured a tub full of scald ing water. She went out the door, and when she returned she found her baby iu the tub. It had crawled up and fallen in. The mother took it out as soon as possi ble, but the poor child was scalded so that the skin slipped whenever touched. It died Sundav morning.— Atlanta Herald, 21 st. Al. IItA IU A NIC US. The Fair at Eufaula closed on Saturday, It gave universal satisfaction, and was re garded as a signal success. Col. 0. C. Langdon, of Mobile, delivered an address on Friday, which is said to have been very instructive, able and eloquent. Its theme was Agriculture and its improve ment at the South. The tournament came off on the same day. Twelve knights contested. Mr. 0. C. Skillman, as Knight of Kentucky, won tho first honor, and selected Airs. Skillman to crown as the Queen of Love and Beauty; Knight of Lancaster, 2d honor, who .selected Aliss Carrie Drewry to crown as Ist Alaid of Honor; Knight Without Fear, fid, who selected Alias Eloise Pierson ns 2d Alaid of Honor; and Knight of the Forest, who selected Alisa Lizzie Doughtie as fid Alaid of Honor. The Greensboro Beacon says: “What ever other sections of (he cotton growing region may do, towards running up the aggregate crop. Central Alabama will certainly contribute nothing like her ra table proportion of four million of bales.” The people of Clay county' are having a lively and exciting time hunting wolves, as we learn from the Ashland Times. They have killed three and seen several others, and the hunt still goes on. Dipthera is subsiding about Gadsden, only ono death being reported in two weeks. Doctor Dozier Thornton whose flight from Eufaula with $15,000 was chronicled a day or two since, has gone West, as the following paragraph from the Meridian (Miss.) Mercury, 10th inst., will show. The Mercury says : “A stranger appeared here this morning, well dressed, and made a small sensation by talking of having some money to invest in cotton. This afternoon a telegram was received by the city marshal, stating that he had stolen $ 15,000 iu Eufaula, Ala., and direct ing his arrest. The man has disappeared.” Talladega is putting iti a claim for the State Capital, and is urging a change of location because of (he.siekuess at Mont gomery. It is said that parties there pro pose to build tho State House. We do not think that they are likely to get it. Mrs. W. C. Luke is sueiug. Calhoun county for $5,000 under the Ku-Klux act. Luke was hung at Cross Plains in 1870, for inciting a negro riot against the peo ple. A late so-called Ku-Klux law of Ala bama authorized suit against the county for not preventing the hanging! The Courtland Reporter Our val ley at this time is full of sicknes. Even the doctors are on the sick list. In parts of Alabama there has been no rain for two months. This has been an unusually dry season. Rain is the cry everywhere. There has be6U some excitement at Eu faula, for several days, growing out of the singular conduct of Judge E. M. Iveils, of the City court, in trying to prohibit the circulation there of Eagle and Pheuix certificates of deposit. The following paragraph, which we cut from theEnfau la Times of Tuesday morning, explains the progress of the proceeding up to that time: A Failure. —Judge Keils made two un successful efforts, yesterday, to hold a court for the preliminary hearing of his case against Messrs. E. B. Young A Son aud Messrs. J. L. Martin A Son, charging them wfith issuing Eigle aud Fhenix bank bills in this city, contrary to law. The parties failed to appear under the war rant, served upon them to do so yester day morning at nine o’clock, when the court issued another warrant for their arrest, and placed it in the hands of a white and colored baliff for execution, and summoned twelve of our best and most prominent citizens to serve as a posse to make the arrests. The posse, however, having been advised of the in validity of the warrants, or being warned by counsel not to act in the matter, re fused to make the arrest, and the court adjourned from 2 o’clock yesterday to I) this morning, when it is said that a squad of soldiers will be brought into requi sition. This is, we are told, wholly un necessary, as the bankers named have no idea of resisting the law of the duly con stituted authorities of the country. They only demand, as they have the right todo. that they be proceeded against in a strict ly legal aud valid manner. Whenever the proper papers are presented they will respond immediately. ohio rrecttox. Cincinnati, Oct. 21. — Allens official majority is 7<»3.

The ground and housetops being per fectly white, though the sun is an hour and a half high. Two negroes near the Henry Todd place, one mile from West Point, Ga., knocked a colored brother in the head a few nights ago, and after bruising him consid erably, robbed him of all his money. The two assailants were arrested, tried before a Justice of the Peace, who found the ev idence sufficient to authorize a commit ment. They were lodged in jail here. Two other negroes were put in jail for having taken a liking to some neighbors, yearlings and pigs. One of them swore he wasn’t the man, and said he felt like the really guilty party would come forward and bear his own punishment, rather than see an innocent party suffer; so he said lie would “just step inside the jail and rest till he come.” This remark with others, gave him tho name of the Philosopher. LOUISIANA. Kellogg Renews War on the People. The Picayune last evening received in formation that the steamboat Ozark, which was last year purchased by the Kellogg Government, would Sunday morning leave the city fully armed and provisoned for six weeks, for some por tion of the State, supposed to be Grant Parish and Rapides in tlie Red River. The expedition, it mated. would lay at the mouth of Red River, say Pointe Coupee Parish, and being all mounted, would push forward, accompanied by the steam boat, to Rapides and Grant, where all the gentlemen charged with being concerned iu the battle of Colfax, in April last, and in supporting the McEnery Government in these Parishes ever since, would be ar rested and brought to this city. Orders have been issued from head quatera commanding Capts. Snow and Taylor, of the mounted police, with thirty men well mounted, and Capt. Grey, with fifteen officers of the Third Precinct, and a cannon, also mounted, to hold them selves in readiness for marching orders. Fifty patrolmen, armed with Winchester rifles, and one cannon, will be kept on board tho steamboat, ready to co-operate with the others on land. These will be under the command of Capts. Lawler and Joseph. The boat is to be under com mand of W. F. Loan, by tho grace of Kellogg Harbor Master and Commodore. W. J. DeKlyne, a Deputy United States Marshal, will also be present as Colonel of Louisiana State Militia, and all will be under command of A. S. Badger, Chief of Police.— N. 0. Picayune, 1 sth. GRAND MOVEMENT OF THE DE EAI.It COUNTY FARM ERS. On yesterday was the regular day for the meeting of the Alston Grange, No. 0.3. The low price to which cotton had de clined in Atlanta was tho chief topic of discussion. Tho fact that cotton is now selling in Liverpool at ltd. to 9}d. in gold, makes 13}j in Atlanta absurdly low. It was therefore decided that a united effort should bo made by tho farmers of DeKalb to ship a cargo of cotton direct to Liver pool. The following paper was circulated among the farmers for their signature, and signed by every one to whom it was shown: Whereas, cotton is selling in Atlanta at 13} cents; and whereas, the same cotton is worth in Liverpool 9@9}d. in gold, equal to 19@19}c. currency; and whereas, a bale of cotton can be shipped via Port Royal or Charleston and sold in Liverpool for less than sls per bale, it is clear the farmer is losing SLG to S2O on every bale sold in Atlanta. Be it therefore agreed among us whose names are hereto signed, that wo will ship our entire crop to Liver pool via Charleston or Port Royal, send ing our own supercargo, who will sell it to the manufacturer, and account directly to ns for the proceeds. More than two hundred bales were sub scribed before sundown. The matter has been placed in the hands of Mr. Jos. Reese, Master of Alston Grange, Edward Cox, and others among tho most enter prising and active citizens of the county, and it is confidently expected that two thousand bales will be ready for shipment by the Ist of November.— Atlanta Her ald, 21 st. COTTON PLANTING IN KANSAS. The Fort Scott (Kansas) Monitor con tains an account of an experiment at cot ton planting by a Mr. Ilulett, near that city, who put twelve acres in cotton. The editor says the experiment has proved highly successful; and that a Mr. Rey nolds, formerly a large cotton planter iu Mississippi, has inspected tho crop and estimates the yield will be one bale to the acre, and the staple is about the same quality as tho upland cotton of the South. The cotton, the Monitor states, was plant ed a month later than it should have been, and improperly planted at that, and badly cultivated. The sanguine editor es timates that the profits on the crop will not be less thau sixty dollars per acre, which he considers a somewhat hand somer return than for raising com or wheat, or any of the crops usually culti vated in that portion of Kansas. The sanguine man of bleeding Kansas asserts, as the matter of growing cotton in the lat itude of that State has been demonstrat ed beyond “a peradventure,” he “ex pects next season to see hundreds of acres of the king of staple covering their prai ries.” Montgomery —The interments Sunday were : I.

Knoxville, Tenn., Oct. 21. —Govern- ment Marshals in East Tennessee and Western North Carolina made simultane ous arrests of a large number of persons engaged in selling and passing counter feit money. The secret service detectives have been spotting their victims for months. The East Tennessee prisoners were brought to Knoxville. Washington, Oct 21.—Warrants have been issued for tho arrest of DO counter feiters, and those implicated in East Ten nessee and North Carolina. The impli cated parties include lawyers, doctors, justices of the peace, postmasters, U. 8. deputy marshals, clerks of the courts and numerous merchants. Tho counterfeiting area embraced 1,200 miles. A mounted expedition made tho surpise. New York, Oct. 22.—Four men are re ported arrested on charges connecting them with the recent immense forgeries of New York Central Railroad bonds. Evidence against them is said to be fur nished by the engraver who made tho plates from which the forged bonds were printed. A dispatch from Knoxville, Tennessee, announces the arrest of seven more of the Tennessee counterfeiters, by Col. White- Icy. Six of them were locked up in de fault of bail; three more persons will conclude the number of arrests to be made in the immediate vicinity of Knoxville, and that they would be brought in last night, when tho secret service corps will leave for North Carolina to as sist in completing arrests there. PANAMA. Struggle for the Presidency—The United States Puts a Finger In the Pie. Panama, Oct. 18. —On the night of the 23d of September, the Corresso party, which has been lurking some time in the woods, some distance from the city, came in and occupied the suburbs, which the j Government had left unprotected. They j opened fire on the morning of the 2fth ; and kept it up almost incessantly till the Oth inst., when they retired. While hos tilities were going on, Gen. Corresso ar rived from Costa Rica on the 30th ult., and having managed to land secretely at once took direction of the proceedings against the Government of Gen. Neira. He at once announced that Gen. Neira had ceased to be the legitimate President of the State of Panama ever since he was overthrown by the revolution of the sth of April that expelled him from tue State, and that he, (Corresso) being tho first dos ignado appointed to substitute in such case, he claimed to be the legal President. The Government, however, refused to come to terms, and resisted successfully. It is supposed the rebels ammunition gave out. Everyone believes they will return and renew the attack. la the contest both sides were armed with rifles of the most approved pattern. The Government had the advantage of possessing cannon which produced great destruction to many valuable horses. During the continuance of this contest, fortunately, Admiral Almy arriving and hoisting his flag on the United States steamer Pensacola. The Admiral seeing the unprotected state of transit, from the disorderly condition of the city, and there being no national force iu the port of Co lumbia, landed 150 men at tho railroad station, and afterwards at the request of the Government itself, GO men, with their officers in tho city. The Government expecting that a gen eral favorable to tlie rebel party might come across the road, sont out a force and demanded that the train should be stop lied, and had all the passengers searched. The Admiral, on being informed of this daring attempt on the freedom of inter oceanic transit, ordered that a guard of United States Marines should accompany each train, and shoot down any armed men who should endeavor to interfere with it. The inability of the Government to protect the transit calls forth much comment. A constituent assembly, which was or ganized to settle matters, has done little else than authorize a loan of $20,000 on the city, and $40,000 on the province. The state of affairs unsettles all business in Panama. It hoped that Admiral Almy will not give up possession and protection 1 of the transit until he is sure travel will be no further disturbed. SOUTH CAROLINA LEGISLATURE, j Message from Gov. Moses—Tlie State Debt. Columbia, 8. C., Oct. 21. —The Legis- | latnre met iu extra session to-day. Gov. j Moses sent in a lengthy message. He represents the funded debt at $15,027,503, and the floating debt $5,300,307; he pre sents a scheme of scaling the debts, the State being unable to pay the interest on the debt as it stands. Bondholders will be induced to agree that the debt be re duced in volume; all bonds for which the State is actually liable, except $38,000 State Capital bonds of 1553, conversion bonds, amounting to $5,903,000; the cou- j pons upon the bonds to pay certificates, \ hills payable, scrip and other evidences of ' •State indebtedness to be returned to the State Treasurer, who shall issue instead other bonds or certificates of stock i equal in amount to the face value of such bonds, coupons and certificates. He concluded with an argument in favor ! of higher taxation, saying the rate of tax ation iu South Carolina is much lower ! than the average of the thirty-seven : States. .

Reported Developments of the Ottiiial Investigation, New' York, Oct. 18. —The Times in its story to-day of the Polaris investigation says Mr. Morton denies absolutely that he ever had any suspicion of foul play in tho death of Capt. Hall, or that he ever to j the best of his knowledge and belief, told | any one he had or gave any reason to suppose he had. When Capt. "Hall return ed from the sledge expedition Dr. Bissels wns employed in the observatory about two hundred yards from the Polaris. : As he saw Capt. Hall and party approach he ran down and greeted and shook hands with them and then returned immediately to his work at the observatory. Capt. Hall and party entered the vessel and par j took of some coiiee of which all the crew ; of the vessel had previously drank; coffee was prepared by the cook and was given to the party either by him or Joe or Han nah. The party were unaffected by the coffee except Capt. Hall who was imme diately attacked with vomiting. After the vomiting he fell iuto a state of insen sibility. It was about half an hour after the re turn of the party, when Dr. Bissells was summoned from the observatory and found Capt. Hall already in a comatose condition. When Capt. llall revived from the state of insensibility, it was found that his left side w r as paralysed. This is considered by medical men in itself an absolute refutation of the charge of pois oning. The suspicion that Dr. Bissell caused the death of Capt. Hull, baseless as it undoubtedly is, is felt by his friends, many of whom were also warmly attached to Capt. Hall, to bo most harsh and cruel. The symptoms and medical treatment of Capt. Hall have been subjected to much comment by the medical men of tho coun try, and by them his death has been un hesitatingly pronounced to have been due to natural causes, and the treatment em ployed by Dr. Bissells is endorsed as ex actly that required, and the only treatment proper under the circumstances.

Indian Council —Cabinet Meeting;—Free Ranking;—The Polaris Investigation. Washington, Oct. 21.—There was a grand Council with the Crow Indians who were in full paint and feathers at the In terior Department to-day. There was no special significance in the Council; no treaties talked of or new' business con -1 sidered. A session of the Cabinet was held to day with all the members present except Robeson. The various departments re ports formed the prrincipal topic. Clinton L. Merriman. M. 0., of New York, had an interview with tho Secretary of the Treasury yesterday. It is said the New York delegation in Congress will urge his appointment as Chairman of the Committee on Banking and Currency. It is said he is in favor of free hanking. The examination of the Polaris survivors ; has been in progress for several days. It is expected to be concluded to-day, and 1 will at once be placed in the shape of a report and given to the public. The leading feature of the report will lie the complete exoneration of all officers upon whom suspicion rested ns to Capt. Hall’s death. The evidence of witnesses tends to show that his death was from natural causes.

Washington, Oct, 20—Itw'as announced several days since that the Commissioners of the United States and Mexican Claims Commission had selected Sir Edward Thornton for office of umpire, aud that he had accepted the charge, conditioned upon his obtaining the assent of his Gov ernment; this having been accorded, liis acceptance is now made final aud lie lias signed the required declaration of office. In making the tender of office the Com missioners take occasion to assure Sir Edward that, while they consider that any gentleman might be proud of the endorr >- ment of the Government in w hose service he has spent so many years of his life, their confidence is particularly directed to him by the high appreciation of 1113 personal worth and intelligence. They urge his acceptance of the trust as leuding to convince the people and Gov ernments of the United States and Mexico of the sincere desire and purpose of the Commissioners to effect a just and honor able arbitration of the question referred to the Commission. Sir Edward, iu accepting, acknowl edges tho compliment of the nomination, and pledges himself to a conscientious discharge of the duty devolving upon him. There is but one feeling, and that of en tire satisfaction, as to this choice, which is regarded as peculiarly happy. A CURIOUS INDIAN QUESTION. Washington, Oct. XG.—A question has lately arisen in the Interior Department in connection with the Indian service which will probably occasion much con troversy and interest. The point involv ed is whether a United States Marshal can summon an Indian on his posse to arrest other Indians guilty of crimes againt the Government. The case was that which occurred in the Cherokee country about a year and a half ago. The United States Marshal of Arkansas summoned among others of his posse an Indian named Beck, and went into the Indian country to arrest certain criminals. A bloody fight ensued between the Cherokces and the United States authorities, iu which several were killed and a large number wounded. The Indiana have recently arrested Beck for murder and propose to try him. It is held that, not being a citizen, he ought not to have been summoned by the Mar shal, and had lo right to serve on his posse. The attorney of Beck has ap pealed to the Secretary of the Interior, and the question will lie referred to the Attorney-General. IS HE ELIGIBLE ? WamiinctTon, Oct. 21.—The friends of 001. Hughes deny that he is disqualified for the office of Governor of Virginia. They say lie went to Tennessee in July, 1870, to compose a quarrel, but failed to makepeace, tie found there would be no fight, and he delivered no letter tinder stood by biiu to be a challenge leading to a duel. If he had delivered a challenge, it was in Tennessee, and although the Constitution of Virginia applies to a prin cipal sending or accepting a challenge outside of the State, it does not apply io one delivering a challenge, unless it is delivered in the State.

ItEVOLUTIOX IX THE STATE OF SOXOItA, MEXICO. San Francisco, Oct. 18.—A special dis patch dated Tucson, Arizona, Oct. 11th, furnishes the following news from the State of Sonora, Mexico; Letters from Guayamas state that a pronnneiamento was issued at Promontorio on the 19th of September by Courant and Barbeytia against Ihe authorities of the State of Sonora and iu favor of restoring the State constitution of November, 1872. The Revolutionists took the city of La Alamos, and held the district south of that place. They levied a. contribution of 32,000 pounds on the merchants of La Alamos, which was paid. They have a force of 350 men, well armed. Governor Pesquiera has taken the field in person, and is organizing a force of 800 men to proceed against the Revolutionists. The chances now seem to be that the Govern ment will crush the revolt at the onset. But all agree that if it should lose the first engagements, the revolution will extend over the whole State, and probably prove disastrous to future political power. Hundreds of poor, emaciated natives are coming in on all roads to Arizona for food and t lothing. Communication with the capital of the State of Sonora, by 1 ind, is cut off'. FIJI E.

Iu the same time they had five or six hundred cases in all. NO. 88. j THE OUTLOOK AT LIVERVOOL. No Financial Panic Expected. Expected Immediate Demand for Amer ica a Cotton. | AND LOWER PRICES LATER IN THE SEASON. From Watts N. Co.’s Cotton Circular of Oct. 3d. The financial panic in America is still ; the main topic engaging the attention | of the business public, and the daily tele ; grains thence arc watched with considera ble interest. Its effect on our money market has been distinctly felt, the Bank of England having on Tuesday again ad vanced the rate ox discount I per cent, i making, with the advance Thursday last, i - per cent within a week. Such a sharp upward movement rarely occurs, and or dinarily would bo viewed with marked i | apprehension, but at the present juncture ; it is looked upon with surprising equi nimity. It is felt that credit in this coun try is unimpaired, and that the drain of coin for export will bo only temporarv and not of sufficient magnitude to give rise to a panic feeling. I Our cotton market has suffered appa rently but little from the cotulition of monetary affairs. The export demand this week has been less than we anticipa ted, which may bo to some extent due to the tenor of the continental advices, above alluded to. The trade, however, have been free buyers, especially of American, and holders offer their stocks sparingly. Whatever views may bo entertained re garding values when the now American crop has reached us in quantity, it is gen erally felt that prices for the near future, at least for American (lotion,will bo large ly affected by the rapidly diminishing stock hero. This is the salient feature nl the moment in favor of holders, and their po sition seems a strong one for the time be ing. The lateness of the new American crop ami the fresh obstacle to its early rapid movement, presented in the finan cial panic, strengthens the belief that n pinch for American Cotton here is inevita ble before slocks can bo replenished.— The receipts at the ports ibis week, it is true, may be considered liberal, notwith standing the drawbacks noticed, but ex ports keep small. On the other hand, it is thought prices j here must ultimately sink to a lower level j than those now ruling, and that in the I meantime values in the American markets are likely to rule low. English and Con- I tinental spinners, partly owing to (lie un satisfactory nature of their last year’s im porting business, and partly to the ab sence of contracts for yarns'and cloth, are believed to bo sending out very few orders to America, and there has been much less cotton sold for future shipment in this market than was the case last year. Wo therefore look for a limited export demand in the American markets, and should receipts at the ports be libeypl and the money market on that side, continue tight, prices will likely be depressed there In this event wo would therefore again urge our friends in America to make ear ly shipments to this port. We suppose, while the panic lasts, comparatively cheap freights may be obtained; that later on, when the export demand fairly sets in, freights will advance. Further, we are inclined to the opinion that when busi ness in the States resumes its normal po sition the nearer shipments are to this port tho better prices they will bring; for, as we Lave already said, it is almost cer tain we will have a pinch here for Ameri can Cotton before the end of tho year. We would also suggest to our friends to send us samples by express of all thr u shipments made, for our spinner*; having sent out but few orders are likely to buy freely of shipments afloat when samples can be shown, but they never like to buy iis speculators do, on a basis of middling, for they have no assurance what character or grade of Cotton may be tendered them. The crop news from India continues : vel '.V good, and it is supposed there are 100,00(1 to ‘JOO,OOO bales more of old Col ! ton remaining in the country than there was at this ditto last year. These facts, j coupled w ith the present liberal import ! here from Bombay, holdout little hope of improvement in the position of Surat Cot ton, the holders of which have already , had a prolonged time of depressed mar i kets and unprofitable trade. , The stock of Cotton held by English spinners we now estimate at 100,000 bales, against ."<3,000 last year, and 1.Vi,000 the year before at this dale. Tin: apvroAcitixo state e uu. A visit at headquarters yesterday, found secretary, clerks and all employes, busily engaged in receiving and recording the entires which were incessantly pouring in. Os these, over one thousand have al ready been made, covering tho whole field of live stock, agricultural imple ments, domestic industry and the fine arts. And yet a whole week remains be fore the entries will be closed. The prospects of a brilliant and most successful exposition are flattering in deed. Mayor Huff, with characteristic sagacity and energy, resolved not to rely upon “Old Probs,” is determined that rain or no rain tho multitude of guests who may honor our city with their pres ence shall bo duly protected from the dust. To this intent, watering machines will plentifully besprinkle tho grounds and walks adjacent to the Halls, so that till may breathe freely and enjoy them selves. If any, then, are disposed to stay away on account of the dust, let them dismiss their fears, for they may rely at least upon artificial rain in abundance. Mr. Huff is untiring in his efforts to make this display of Georgia industry and resources, eclipso any previous exhi bition of (he kind at the South. And if the half that has been promised be real ized, tho result will be a proud triumph to our State and city. We have no fear of tho result. The next week will find our lovely city park almost as beautiful as the fabled Elysian fields, thronged with the representative classes of Georgia, em bracing her honest farmers, sturdy me chanics, merchant princes, skillful scien tists and the elite of tho fashionable world. There will be an array of beauty, intelligence, enterprise, and industrial skill present which will challenge the ad miration of visitors from abroad, and evince that our people are by no means broken in spirit l>y the events of the war, or disposed to sulk, and abandon the work of construction and progress in the true sense of those words.— Macon Tele graph, 21st. A OROOMY EEELIXG. Special to the Louisville Courier-Journal.] Washington, Oct. 20.—Notwithstand ing the rose-colored reports contained in the New York papers, it is certain that a very gloomy feeling prevails there in financial circles. The locking up and hoarding of currency continues to go on, and it is asserted positively by well in formed persons that tho amount of cur rency in the national banks throughout the Union is diminishing instead of in creasing. A prominent banker connect ed with a London house which lias the entire confidence of the government, says that money in England is growing very scarce, and predicts a speedy com mercial crash there, which will at once react on America. There is considerable diversity of views among the friends of the President as to plans of relief, but that something will have to be done by Congress is conceded. Some advocate a free banking law. and others talk of a loan of as much as $100,000,000 of new currency to the banks. The tendencies are very decidedly to expansion, and a combination of Southern, Western and Wall street influences for this purpose is confidently predicted.

Some lively and interesting passages on “tho stump" between Allen, of Ohio, and I Morton, of inuiana, during tho late gu bernatorial canvass in tho first named I State, have already been published. Ready | anil effective as Morton is on the stump, tho “old warhorso" generally' got tho bet ter of him and turned tho laugh against | him. The truth is, Morton was an inter | toper in the canvass, and was only brought inland deterged of his back pay pollution) | because tho Radical party of Ohio took ; the panic and felt their need of outside : help. Being thus brought in to influence the politics of a State in which ho did not j reside, and being moreover a U. S. Sena j tor, common good breeding ought to have j constrained him to be courteous anti • kind towards his opponents, especially to | as old and distinguished a man as Mr. Allen. But he chose tho opposite course, | and was fitly rebuked for it. One of his | bullying and boastful subterfuges was tho j pretence that Mr. Allen stood no chance j of election, and was only brought out | from a long retirement to bo badly beaten, j Now that Mr. Allen is elected, Morton, in I his future efforts on tho stump, will fre | qnently have to confront the following I passages from one of his late speeches in Ohio: “You have two candidates for Governor. One of them has been hibernated for about twenty-four years. (Laughter.) They say he has been reflecting profound ly, and studying the child's first book of history on representative government. He has proposed an amendment to our Constitution, which 1 have described to you. Y'ou know liis position during the war. In proposing to becomo Governor of Ohio ho has never said a word about the State. In his speech bo does not even mention the fact that he is a candi date, and no one can ti ll from his speech ■whether or not he is candidal ■' for Gov ernor of Ohio or King of the Cannibal Islands, and he has as much chance for the one as the other. (Laughter and cheers.) “Governor Noyes is tho other candi date. lie is a live man; he was an excel lent soldier, and lost a leg in battle, and testifies to his faith by his blood. Ho un derstands the affairs of Ohio. lie talks to the people intelligently; he grapples all the groat questions in which the peo ple of Ohio are interested. / believe he will be elected by an overwhelming ma jority, and ho is entitled to your confi dence ami your suffrages.” UOU TO TREAT EEC Ell. The -Howard Association of New Or leans have made public tho following simple rules, prepared by a skillful phy sician of that city, for the treatment of yellow fever. They appear to bo so well adapted to the alleviation of fevers gener ally of a bilious type, as to justify the opinion that they might be advantageous ly followed in this section, ns well as where yellow fever prevails. The treat ment certainly seems to boa very ration al one for fever in all its stages, and where there is no physician at hand to take a case in hand, this course might bo followed with good results; 1. If the patient be taken with fever immediately (one ov two hours) after a meal, give an emetic of mustard, salt and warm water, one teaspoonful each of for mer to tumbler of last. 2. If the patient has eaten more than three hours previously, give a dose of cas tor oil. N. 15.—1f )lie attack commences with irritable stomach, substitute a dose of calomel and soda for oil, five grains each fo£ children, ten grains each for adults. 8. If the skin is dry, give hot foot baths repeatedly, until perspiration is in duced. 4. If the skin is very hot, whether dry or moist, sponge the arms, breast and legs under the covering with whisky and wa ter frequently. 5. The first night of attack give an in jection of 20 drops of laudanum or Bat tley’s sedative should there be much rest lessness. 6. If the stomach remains irritable, ap ply mustard plaster; if the irritability continues apply fly blister. 7. If the urine is scanty, give water melon seed lea freely—half a tea-cup full every hour. It can be taken iced il pre ferred. 8. Keep a cool cloth to the’ head, if hot or painful. It. Nothing but warm or cold tea— green orange leaf or sage--Allowed spar ingly, with small pellets of ice occasional ly or a mouthful of cool water, for the first three days. 10. After tlie fever has entirely disap peared, chicken broth, beef tea, milk to be given in small quantities, gradually in creasing same as convalescence advances. 1!. The patient must not be allowed to sit up for a week, nor lake any solid food whatsoever for ten days after the attack. Sheep raising is carried on upon the most extensive scale in New Mexico; but tho animals, lineal dcscendeuts of the Spanish merino, have greatly deteriorated. According to an exchange, where tho puro-bred merino buck shears from 18 to 80 pounds of wool, tho small-framed in and-in bred Mexican sheep will yield only from 2i to 8[ pounds. Tho mutton, however, is pronounced tho finest on this continent. There aro families in Now Mexico who own as many as 500,000 of these sheep. The co-.t of hoarding is small, as the Mexican herdsmen work for almost nothing, and three of these, with a pony each, will look after a ilock of 3,000 sheep—assisted of course by their dogs. Tho wages and keep of the herds men will not amount to more than $2.5 per mouth. Pasturage can bo had for nothing, there being in New Mexico an area of more than 120,000 squaro miles, nearly all of it covered with nutritious grasses. No provision for winter feed is required, as stock can range throughout the year over tho vast uninhabited plains, finding everywhere food and water. — New Orleans Picayune. Cl Riot s. A floating cannon ball may be seen in the pavillion of the Ministry of Agricul ture, at Vienna. Although weighing fifty pounds, it lies like a down feather on a silvery mass, consisting of pure quick-sil ver from tlxo celebrated mines of Idria. One hundred and fifty weight of this met al is exhibited in a large iron cauldron, of fering a sight seldom to be met with, and on it rests the solid iron ball. It was in teresting to watch the emptying of tho quicksilver into its receptacle. The met al is very cleverly stowed away into bags of white sheep leather, specially prepar ed for the purpose, each containing fifty pounds of the mass, the bags being tight ly bound around the top, and then put in to small wooden barrels.'carefully bunged up. Formerly, this liquid metal, which penetrates easily all porous substances, was transacted in wrought iron bottles of the most expensive make. There has been None.— We have not thought it necessary 7 to notice the report that found its way into some of the news papers some days ago, that there was a case of yellow fever here.— The report was founded on a little joke between our Postmas ter and a certain well-known physician. It was a passing occasion of which neithr of the parties to it thought anything. A little boy heard the joke, and thinking the parties were in earnest, soon spread the report that our Postmaster, Mr. Uavis, had the yellow fever. We have had no yellow fever. — Union Springs Herald. The cotton crop is lamentably short in the country around Union Springs. This shortness induces great watchfulness on the part of those who have advanced largely under the crop lien law. Interests frequently conflict, and then comes the tug of war, when merchant meets mer chant in the struggle for the few light bales the unfortunate and sadly disap pointed farmer lias saved from thedebris of his crop left by the all devouring cat erpillar.—Union Springs Herald A dispatch from Barkersfrie, Kern county, California, gives the particulars of a horrible affray near that place on elec tion day. Lary Watson asked Moses Gil man for whom he liaxl voted, and upon receiving the reply, struck him on the head with a pistol, inflicting a wound which resulted in the death of Gilman in a few minutes, liobt. Peppard and others attempted to arrest him, when he drew a knife and stabbed Peppard, inflicting a mortal wound. Peppard got the knife away from Watson and stabbed him. Both fell dead within two minutes of each other. Congressmen McClelland’s colored ca dets at West Point are again in trouble, being charged with disregard of disci pine of the school.
