THE GREAT HAI.I.OON.
To-day, if the ■weather is favorable,
Professors Wise and Donaldson will
start in their great air ship across the
Atlantic ocean. A reporter of the New
York Graph ir- newspaper and a mariner
will be the only companions of the two
professors. The reporter will send men
sages to the Graphic every hour by car
rier pigeons, and the mariner will take
riharge of the life-boat in case they arc
dropped into the sea.
The balloon ia 116 feet high, and 335
feet in circumference, and contains 600,-
•66 cnbie feet of gas.
Whether this enterprise is successful
«9r not, it is the grandest scientific exper
iment of the century.
tII.'TI.ER HTlbli AHEAD.
Dispatches from headquarters in Mas
sachusetts claim the election of enough
Bntler delegates to insure his nomina
tion for Oorcmor, although the opposi
tion faction led by Washburn, relying
upon delegates who are so far uncom
mitted, are not altogether hopeless. With
the latter, this election is a question
almost of life and death, and we are not
surprised that, in their anxiety to avoid
disgrace, they should oppose our candi
date. The Jodkkal), we believe, was the
first paper in Georgia which urged the
claims of the Beast hi the Gubernatorial
Chair of Massachusetts, and therefore
are call him our candidate.
'“And long may he wave
O'er the land of the Hah and the home of
the slave.”
TEXAS DEMOCRACY.
The State Democratic Convention of
Texas was held in Austin, Sept. 6th.—
On the fifth ballot, Jndge Richard Coke,
of Waco, was nominated for Governor. —
CoL Hubbard was nominated for Lieu*
tenant Governor, and B. H. Darden for
Comptroller.
The Resolutions adopted have the ring
of the true Democracy, as witness the
following :
Resolved, That we deprecate the ac
tion of Democratic momliera of Congress
who 00-o|>erated with tho Republican
majority and President Grant in the
r pasttage of tlie Rack Salary bill.
The resolutions passed by the Ohio
'Democratic Convention, denouncing
"Grant’s policy in regard to Louisiana,
was concurred in, and the report of the
Committees on Platform was unanimous
ly adopted.
GOV. HARD AND ANDREW JOHN
SON.
A correspondent of the Atlanta Herald
has recently met Dr. Bard, with whom
he had a high old time. He says:
I met Ham Bard to-day. To say this
is equivalent to saying that I had a good
time; for though Ham is a humbug iu
politics, he is a regular June-bng iu so
cial life, and when you tie him to tho
thread of inquiry and bring him round
the circle, he wiu hum in the most melo
dioua manner.
• * » * *
Sam told me some stories ( narrative.n
1 mean) last night, and one about ex
' President Johnsou will do to take along.
Says he:
"I was in Greenville the other day,
and was talking abqjit Andy Johnson,
when a gentleman standing by me says:
‘Andy is as big a demagogue ns ever. A
countryman came iuto town last week
with a bundle of jeans to have a suit of
olothes mode for his nigger. He saw
Andy standing on tho corner, and says:
‘Well, Andy, you used to lie the best
tailor in these parte, and I wish you’d
cut out tliis suit of clothes for my boy
Jim here.’ ‘All right,’ says Andy, and
they stepped into a shop near by, and iu
FXVB JUNCTKH AN XX-PUBSIDENT HUIBT
HAVE BEEN
seen swinging round the circle of a dirty
negro, taking iiis latitude, longitude and
Bearings for a suit of clothes. ’ Andy is
-.very ambitious, but whether such tom
; foolery as this will get him iuto the Seu
!,sts is more thiui any one oan tell. ”
THE NEW ERA.
We haw* received the first issue of the
JVew Era, edited and published by ex-
Gov. Bard, Atlanta, Ga. It is, as we
expected to find it, a spicy paper, well
printed and ably edited, its politics to
the contrary notwithstanding.
Asa politician the Governor, in our
opinion, is n consummate humbug, bnt
as an editor he has few equals in the
South.
The New Era stands alone as a Re
publican paper in Georgia, and will, of
course, receive the unmerciful denuncia
tions of the entire Democratic press of
the State, all of jrluch the ex-Governor,
no doubt, expects, and is prepared for.
He will have rather ft tough job in shoul
dering aud defending the Administration
before the American people, but he will
do it as plausibly aud efficiently as the
subject will allow. We have some curi
osity to see his defence of Grant's action
in the back salary steal, if that action of
the “aeoond Washington” admits of any
defence. We do not desire to see a re
hash of Butler’s argument oti that sub
ject, but something original and truthful.
There are many other questions upon
which the good people of Georgia would
like to have a little light, to all of which
the Governor will doubtless turn his at
tention in good time.
The Western Corn Crop. —A fact of
some importance in connection with the
farmers’ movement is the yield of the
corn crop soon to he harvested. Accord
ing to dispatches from Chicago this, in
Illinois and lowa, is not likely to be
more than one half to two-thirds the
average amount. Bhould these indica
tions be oorrect, we may look for less
pressnre on the through freight lines,
lower freights, higher prices for corn, and
considerably better net income to the
fanners.
THE YOUNG AMERICA
Fire Company Excursion.
PICNIC AT BERZELIA.
A GALA DAY.
JOTTINGS BY OUR REPORTER.
It had been generally announced that,
the Young America Fire Company,
of Thomson, Ga., would have their first
Annual Picnic at Berzelia, on Thursday,
September the 4th. In accordance with
said announcement,there had assomhled
at the Depot, at an early hour on the
4th, not only tho members of the compa
ny and other gentlemen, but many of
the fair sex, all of whom seemed to an
ticipate a pleasant trip and a gala day.
Whilst awaiting there, the genial, jo
vial and inimitable H. G. H. (perhaps
totter known as Nebhut) put in an ap
pearance. He was heard to utter, in a
very low voice,
I want to to a Fireman,
And a Fireman's suit adorn,
For no one then will make a fuss,
If a teller takes a horn.
He was token in charge, and by the
time the train mo red off from tho depot,
wua uniformed and marie happy. For
several miles of the way, he and “Uncle
Fred” enlivened the smoking car with
select stanzas from “I’m gwine down to
town,” “Just from Alabamy,” &c.
Your reporter left these gentlemen,
however, to their innocent amusement
and repaired to the ladies’ car, where
the beautiful, lovely and accomplished
Misses M. G. C., D. W. H„ M. W., M.
H., O. H., W. R. and S. D. chained his
attention until tho arrival of the train at
Berzelia. Phillips, Bailey, Mosher,
England, Spalding, J. Claud, Lynn, and
P. H. were in said coach, each looking
his tost and boldest. Phillips was
heard to remark to a oertain young lady,
that slio was the fairest among ton thou
sand, and altogether lovely. The lady
immediately swooned, and Phillips went
to look for a snake in the smoking car.
Homo of our gallant Firemen aud cit
izens, whoso presence would have ad
ded much to the interest of the occasion,
were uufortunately absent. Among
them. Mr. Liprnan, who was detained at
home arranging cigars for the fall trade ;
Mr. Treasurer Murphy, whoso attenua
ted person and delicate health confined
him in doors; Mr. Vice-President
Squire Baldwin, who was busy instret
ing “Bully” how to wait on tho table ;
the illustrious “J. N.,” who oouldn’t
raise the pressure high enough to make
the trip, aud Bonner, who was engaged
in polling judicial hogs iu the County
Court.
The train, however, soon arrivod at
Berzelia, and tho ears were deserted,
some of the party repairing to the Pic
nio Stand, some to the hotel and some
were wandering around promiscuously,
with “sarpet oaoks” in hand. Your re
porter, if so disposed, could easily di
vulge what those “sarpet cocks” con
tainod, because he had n ticket of admis
sion to one of them.
It was not long, however, until tho
Thomson Amateur Band attracted all
to the Stand ;
“And when musio arose with its voluptuous
swell,
Boft syes looked love to oyos which spake
again,
And all went merry as a marriage toll.”
Tho beauty and gracefulness of tho
young Indies, and the oourtesy and gal
lantry of the gentlemen, lent a charm to
the festivities which is seldom witnessed
on similar occasions.
S. G, says that they all danced well
for new beginners, and your reporter
not only endorses this, but also accords
to “Uncle Fred,” who covered himself
with glory dancing the “Highland Fling,”
tho honor of securing the title of “The
Great North American Fancy D’Aneer.
Your friend Sutton deserves especial’
mention, for he not only slung himself
around generally, but, ns usual, was par
ticularly attentive to the wants of the
fair sex. But is a brick, and on such
oocusious as this, is worth a dozen ordi
nary men.
Lynn had quite a gay time, but would
have enjoyed himself much better had
not a provoking accident happened to
him, which carno near proving serious,
aud which necessitated a crawfish move
ment to the smokiug ear, muttering, with
tears in his eyes : “My breeches I oh, my
breeches!!” For particulars enquire of
P. H. who administered to his wants.
In addition to those from Thomson,
there were several others present, whom
this reporter recognised as the Misses
W , Mrs. C aud Miss C ,
from Columbia county, Thomas Henry
and F. D’Antignae, from Augusta.
Especial mention should to made of many
others, but your reporter feels confident
that you and your readers are content
with the above, so he will drop short,
and sav something else.
At 12 o’clock, more or less, dinner was
announced, of which all partook freely,
particularly your friend Spalding, whom
it is said skirmished around for crumbs
until a late hour in the afternoon. Re
freshments through with, chatting and
smoking were next in order. The dance
was next resumed, aud continued until
about 6 p. m., when all boarded the
train for home, wcarried and worn, yet
pleased with the day’s doing. Though
this was the first Picnic of the Young
America, yet it is to to hoped that all
their future Picnics may to conducted as
well, and pass oft' as agreeably and
pleasantly, for long will it to remem
bered not only by your reporter, but by
the Firemen. Panabito.

Heavy Receipts op New Cotton.—
Over a hundred and twenty-five bales of
new cotton were received in this city
yesterday, from various points. The
greater part of it, however, was of an
inferior quality, having been badly gin
ned in the hurry to get it to market,—
One bale received from Mr. G. W. Han
cock, of Edgefield, S. C., by W. H.
Howard & Son was very fine, however,
and sold 19jo. per pound.— Chronicle &
Sentinel, 7th inet.
The last romance is from Fayetteville,
New York. A young man, the son of a

visiting the rich young lady. Father gave
$250, and bought son a through ticket to
Chicago, the residence of R. T. L. He
started, got off at the first station, re
turned, prevailed on the poor yoimg girl
to elope. They were married, and start
