Irotocrnc.—We [ad interim) having
I tho mighty re»p*>a<iti lities of E h-
Pitblisher end brtss printer upon
• shoulders in the preparation of thi*
up, crave the indulgence of our read
; for any appaient lack of interest.
, The army bill, as it passed the
Senate, reduce* the army to ttiir-
|thousand men, and active and retired

'The Mormons have been holding

Ithercaule, Silt Like C;iy over the re

itnjKirtance aa & lumber mart. The
»els arriving with carg ms of iron,
erchaudise, etc., all take back lumber
J the absence of cotton,) and wish in

surprising citizens are preparing to

The Comptroller General’s Re
port-
In another pl-.ee we give the main
farts an-i fienren ontaiued in this Re-
| ort f.r 1808. It tells its own story ;
and is but confirmation of even Kadi,
cal prophesy — Ik fore he hud'fut' off* e*
to distribute-that Hull ck wonld
•‘bankrupt the State in twelve months.'’
Willi greater facilities for the transaction
of business, and increased patronage,
we find the State Hoad, in the hands or
these Radmal'manipulators paying inti
the State Treasury only a Hi tie more
than half tho amount, paid »a former
days. The civil establishment cost for
last year $65,222 48-—more than double
the cost of tiie previous year; the cm
tin gent fund nearly twenty thousand, to
eight thousand the preceding year; the
print .ng fund show's about the same in
crease; and in every department in the
hands "f ihcsc R tdica! j ihawk rs shows
the same alarming tendency.
The people have b >rne *hrso things
with commendable patience, with the
hope that they wonld soon Icive tin op
jiortmiity «f turning these greedy Rile
front ttie public crib; hu it hcuois that
Congress is determined upon giving her
army of cai pet-bag vaiduts a full bene
fit
After the State Treasury has play
ed out completely, and old Butler has
been sent through to grather up the
sp-Hiiis an I j -w dry, We think we m iy
reasonably hope to bid the whole carpet-
hag fraternity—school inarms and all—
u final,glorious farewell.
8> there's some palliation fir the dis
grace of a bankrupt State after all.

StNsiati.— It is stated that the ne.

losed to a raid being made upon the
state by “negro carpet buggers,” and

C3T Mr. Geo. Sharpe, of Atlanta,
offers, a fifty'dollar silver service, as a
brsmium to the lady who will appear
jit the Cobb Comity fair, in the plainest
attire, to be neat and li'ly. Tins is ton
jjned to Cobb County. In these days
id wasp-tike w-ui.-ts, travelling millinery
shops, and the various “Shoo fly doings’'
jit will certainly bo refreshing to see a
liady ct such a place plainly, neatly and
|sensible dressed.
It (hero is much contention for the
Iprize, tho husbands and fathers of that
comity will owe Air. Sharpe a 1 sting
Idcbt of gratitude.
WnmEMoRs Coding B vck. —Govern-
lor Scott, of South Carol.n , lias at last
[issued a call for an election to the first
I district of that State to fill the vacancy
liu Congress occasioned by the expulsion
[of WhiUemore. As yet but one catidi-
I date is announced, and that is Whute
more himself, who has been vmMDmsy
in canvassing the district. As^Btter-
now look he will bo reelected, though
some of the negroes favor one of their
own number, and m iy possibly muni
I ante a negro preacher whom they have
I in view. W'hiUetnnre HU- s in his speech
es that, if elected, the House will not
deny him admission while B itlerof Ten
cessec, is retained in bis seat.
Trie Valck of Southern Crops.— The
•mount of value of the Southern crops
is concluaive evidence of the rapidly in
creasing prosperity of that section of the
eoimtry. Tiie productions of last year
will a-wonnt in the aggregate to about
$051,000,000, aud very nearly in the
following proportions: Cotton, 3,000,7
000 bales, $300,000,000, Corn, 285,-
000,000 bushels, $200,000,000 ; Sugar,
Wheat, Tobacco, etc., $150,000,000 —
Total, $050,000,003. This, with a pop
illation el 11,000,000, i« an average el
nearly $00 per head for the eiilire popu-
lution—a good index of the increasing
prosperity of the South.—American O: o

Cuba.
Gen Jordan lias returned from Cuba
and’furnishes the pap'ni much impor
taut news about the civil war in th*-
conutry. lie wont out just a year ng--,
and has filed successively the |Misiiiotis
of Detriment Cotnmmder, Chief of
staff fur the Geneial commanding, ami
General of all the-armies.
The Herald represent* him as being
in fine heal ill, btsuized and hardened by
his service.
lie has nvit left the cause, but has
come on u mission to get money, sup
plies, clothing and arms fur the instir
gents. Not over 10,000 of the Cuban
troops are armed, while n hundred thou
sand able-bodied soldi-rs could be ar
rayed against the Spaniards, if arms
could lie ob^itned. The Cubans are
very destitute. The lad ea need cloth
ing. particularly, and are Buffering great
hardship*.
The Spanish mounts of the late Cu
ban reverses lie represents as filse.—
The patriots are as resolved to succeed
as ever, and their Iiojicb of triumph as
cheering. The Spanish troop* largely
outnumber the Cubans, but are inactive
and badly managed. The Cubans have
men incompetently lead, or they could
have achieved success before this.
The reports nhont the surrender of
(V*pedes, the abdication of the Cuban
Congress; etc., aie all lalse, according
to Jordan. Ttie negroes-flghi well,
seive side bv side with the white men,
and make fine soldier*. The Cubans
have really freed their slaves and given
them equal rights and privileges.
There ia plenty of meat, fruit and
vegetable*, so tlr.it the danger of star
vation is a renin a one The troops gel
no pay. The barbarities of the Span
birds hare not been exagyerut.il.—
They conduct a warfare uncivilized and
atrocious.
The L'uhans want to wi.: independ
ence and then be annexed to the United
States.
Canids.—The statement that the
British Admiralty arc about to send to
Canadian waters “a force sufficient to
jiruteet Canadian fishermen and main
teiff order” does not read much us if ii
was reaily England’s purpose to with
draw her fostering care from the Diimiri
ion. But & short time since British leg
ulars were, on the application of the
Canadian authorities, furnished for the
lied River expedition, among them be
ing picked artillery men from Wiol
wich; and now we have war vessels
forthcoming on a similar requisition.—<
If, whenever they get into trouble, the
Canadians are to have British land and=
liavul forces at their service, it is evident
the day is not yet come when En land
leaves her colonies to shift (or themselves.
Somebody has been too hasty iB seek
ing to create that impression. Such is
the log cal conclusion of the New fork
AFoild.
Important Document—On our out
side will be found the very I igtcal aud
comprehensive report of the engineer of
th* Batabridgn, Outhhert & C Jjimhus
Railroad, Capt. P. S. M >.-by. it is di»
roetly to the point—moans business;—

Terry, Johnson and Sawyer made very
conservative speeches during the discus

become a law ; aud he expresses him
self unreservedly in favor of a general
