(tewYicM* u r er8al interest been maniftBied in
AIIU religious exercises as was evinced at
the meeting* of this society. So enrap
tured and enthusiastic were the audi
ences in attendance that no meeting waB
dosed at the appointed time. Frequent
murmurs were heard when the congre
gation was dismissed. We heard of one
gentleman who was loud in his com
plaints when they dismissed after 10
o’clock one night, and remarked he
had not entered a chUroh for about
ten years, and did not like to be in
terrupted when he had become so much
interested in the proceedings.” No re
ligious organization in this era of the
world promises to accomplish more
than the Y. M. C. A. Whilst we would
say nothing disparaging of the Chris
tian church or that great nursery of the
oharch, the Sabbath-school, yet when
wo see the great moral and religious in
fluence to be accomplished by Christian
young men in every community, who
full of zeal in the Master’s cause are la
boring to reclaim their associates from
ruin and bring them into the church of
God,-who can comprehend, who can
portray the end of their glorious mis
sion? What mother, what father, yea,
what Christian does not bid them God
speed ? St. Paul said, I write unto you
young men, beoause you are strong.
The young men of our country who are
so prone to walk in forbidden paths are
the ones to be guarded. The meeting
of the association here has infused new
life-into the churches, and a union
meeting is progressing, attended by all
denominations, and promises to be pro
ductive of great good to the entire com
munity. Churches and creeds are for
gotten for the time, and that is one of
the beauties of the Y. M. C. A.

Letter from Chattanooga.
Chattanooga, Tens., Sept. 29,1879.
Ector Courier—Hoping a commu-
Joication from the land of ‘‘Old Hick-
Ly" may not be uninteresting to your
Mmerom readers, I seat myself to
Ute you from this young, bustling, en-
jttrprieing border city. Earnest prayer

ate nearly over the Rubicon, and that
til danger of fever is over, and with
[every department of trade reviving and
e Great Cincinnati Southern railroad
hastening to its completion, our hearts
are palpitating with gratitude and joy
at our future prospects. The C. S. R. R.

December, will be completed and in
pilar running order before that time,
Ihsnksto the invincible enterprise of
(tears. Huston & Co., and our people
tod yours will have a “straight shoot"

Suti. What an accommodation to trav-
going westward, and to merchants

Bred miles of freights. The comple-

itive a!
ly given. Witness says he informed
Mr. Miller of this transaction himself
when before the committee of investi
gation.
Witness reviewed his management of
the State’s bonds, in the market, and
showed that, in this respect, his admin
istration had been wise, profitable to the
State, and exceedingly eoonominal. He
explained his transfer of the State’s
business in New York from the Fourth
national bank to the Park bank, stating
that his only motive for doing so was to
get better terms for the benefit of the
people of Georgia. He thought the
charges of the former bank for its fiscal
agency, which averaged about $2,000
cer annum, was too high and transferred
he agency to the Park bank, whose of
ficers agreed to charge nothing for their
service, to take $25,000 of the 4 per
cent, bonds of the State, and to loan to
the State any money she might need at
5 per cent, per annum. He positively
denied the charge contained in the let
ter of the Fourth national bank of New
York in relation to his motive for mak
ing this change.
He referred, with some feeling, to the
fact that the committee who thorough-
y examined his books, coupons, vaults,
etc., and who had to him and others
admitted that everything was scrupu
lously correct in his office, failed to re
port this fact to the Honse. He said
theomission was made, but why he
knew not. That one thing was certain,
that whether he left the treasury vol
untarily or otherwise, every dollaT
should be there at the time.

Cotton Hills at the South.
Boston Coinuorotal Bulletin.
The cotton manufacturing industry
in the South is making more rapid pro
gress just now than ever before. Ac
cording to the figures of the National
Cotton Exchage the consumption by
Southern mills during the season just
closed, exclusive of Maryland and in
clusive of Missouri, was 186,489 bales,
against 147,747 bales during the season
of 1877-8, showing an increase of 26
per cent. Both these amounts include
the cotton taken from “delivery porte,”
so-called. The consumption by North
ern raillB were 1,376,384 bales last year,
againBt 1,344,653 bales the previous
year, showing an increase of about 2
ier cent. The consumption, both in
he North and in the South, was the
largest ever known. We may say, in
lassing, that, while the consumption in
Great Britain was smaller during the
past year than in any previous year
since 1869-70, the consumption in the
United States last year was 74 per cent,
greater, than 1869-70, and the con
sumption of the continent of Europe 58
per cent, greater.
The heavy increase in the Southern
consumption last year over the previ
ous year is confined to the mills of
North and South Carolina, Georgia and
Alabama. North Carolina increased
from 21,840 bales to 38,482 bales. South
Carolina from 27,918 bales to 34,628
Georgia from 42,566 bales to

LEPROSY.
A Modern Miracle. Astonishing Reiulti
from the Use of CUT1CCKA.
Messrs. Wesks A Potter t Gentlemen —We
hsve a case of Leprosy in our poorhoose which
is being oured by your Cutieura remedies. Tha
eounty bad employed all of bur doctors and
bed
have a case of Loprosy in oar poorhoose whfel
is being oared by your Cutleera remedies. Thi
eounty bad employed ail of bur doctors ant
hsd sent to Hew York for advice, but to no avail.
The patient oommonccd using the Cutlchra
end immediately began getting better.
He hsd been confined to his bed
one-half years.- Had not had his
' during
. first tin
8tdctru^erTance d oF a hrofflc“l du- jfe Jbles^d Alabama from 6£91
ties. He boldly affirmed that not a bales to 12,083 bales. In the State of
day had passed since his first appoint
ment when he could not have shown
every dollar received into the treasury,
from whom, and on what account, and
every dollar disbursed, to whom, and
on what account. That he always had
vouchers to show for every dollar paid
from the treasury, and either the prop-
er amounts in the vaults or certificates
for its deposit. That he had out of bis
own pocket employed Professor Moore,
known to be a most accomplished ac
countant, to review his bookB, etc.,
weekly and see that they were absolute
ly correct. For this service ho paid
him $250 per annum. His first knowl
edge of the constitutional prohibition as
to interests on deposits of the States
fund was received from Judge Hall in
the interview detailed by that gentle
man. He immediately informed his
sureties that such receipts must be
stopped at once. He had through Dr.
Wilson, one of his sureties, consulted
Judge Hoyt as to the propriety of al
lowing his sureties to use the funds at
interest and was advised that it wa9 not
illegal. That he only consented to the
arrangement provided it could be done
without violating any law, and so soon
as informed that it was illegal he had it
discontinued.
In regard to the fee charged for sign
ing the bonds of the Northeastern rail
road company, he said he was induced
to regard it legal and proper, by the
ay me ate allowed by the State for' sim
ilar service to a former treasurer by the
General Assembly, and also bjr a letter
received from-Mr. John Calvin John-
son, at that time secretary of said road,
in whioh he 'characterized the work as
herculean, urged that it be done as early
as possible, and proposed .to pay the
fews for the same. The work of signlng
the bonds was performedathiohome
outside of office hours, and he regarded.
Georgia, out of a total of 160,000 spin
dles, 10,000 of whioh were added during
the past year, only 17,300 were idle.
The new mill at Columbus and the
large Bteam mill at Atlanta have only
recently got under way, and will large
ly swell Georgia’s consumption during
the current year. The excess in Ala
bama last year is due to the increased
number of mills in operation—one estab
lishment, consuming over 6,000 bales
ier annum, whioh closed during 1877-8,
laving resumed work the past year.
Great as hris been the inorease daring
the past year in the consumption ofco
ton by Southern mills, there is reason
to believe that there will be a still
heavier increase during the next two
years. Readers of our manufacturing
columns must baye noticed the numer
ous new projects for the establishment
of cotton mills that are receiving dis
cussion in all parts of the South. The
unparalleled advantages for this indus
try offered by the South have only just
begun to be appreciated by capitalists.
An interesting feature of these new mill
projects is that many of them look to
the production of a finer olass of goods
than have been hitherto manufactured
by Southern cotton mills. •
An important influence is destined to
be exerted by the general introduction
of the coal of northern Alabama. This
is a capital steam coal, and is very
cheap. It is estimated that the pro
duction the present year will be double
that of last year. This coal is already
for two and
r years.' Had not bad bis clothes on
this time. [ Last week h* dressed for the
me. ,
When he wiiksd there would at least one
quart of soales cpme.oft of him.
This happened every day.
We think it la a wonderful dare.
We do not say he is oured, but he is in a fair
way to be cored, to say tha least.
