Sickness,
While we regret to report considera
ble sickness in this vicinity, we are glad
to learn from Dr. Jones that there is some
abatement.' The prevailing disease seems
to be malarial fevers, induced no doubt
by the very unfavorable season.
Cotton.
Transactions in cotton, both here and
in Augusta, amount to little or nothing.
The Chronicle and Sentinel, of yester
day, says: ‘‘The inquiry is so light and
prices so irregular that we find it impos
sible to give anything like a reliable
quotation.”
The Caterpillar.
The veritable cotton caterpillar, which,
by-the-way, is not common in this part
of the world, may be seen in the cotton
fields in this vicinity, feasting on the
leaves of the cotton plant The lateness
of the season will prevent this worm from
doing any harm to the present crop, and
we sincerely hope that this will be the
last appearance in this section of this
terror to the cotton planter.
The Weather.
The weather for several days of the
past week has been very warm for the
season. Our weather prophet, however,
informs us that we are on the eve of a
change, and may expect a visit from Jack
Frost on the next full moon. He is
now engaged id making up his weather
programme for the winter, and as he
professes to be infalible, we shall be hap
py to lay the result of his observations
before our readers. The indications are
now, he informs u,. we shall have a
milder winter thin - 1 • had for two
or three years past, W do hope he is
correct,
, -
Apologetic.
It is not often that the Journal asks
indulgence, but “circumstances alter
cases,” and now we are redneed to the
necessity of asking our readers to bear
with any short comings in our issue of
.to-day. All our hands, except ourself,
are sick—and we are here all alone strug
gling to sustain our established reputa
tion for promptness. There is no one
here save our own Press Gang who has
any practical knowledge of the Art Pre- I
servative, and therefore, it is impossible j
to obtain a “sub” to help us out of the j
dilemma. Under these circumstances,
and taking into consideration the fact,
£hat for nearly three years—while the
JoinuttL baa been under our charge—it
has never failed to come to time, we hope
and believe that a generous public will
treat us charitably, especially when we
promise to mend matters just so soon as
we possibly can,
Gone.
Jake Moore, of the colored way of
stealing, and who to satisfy the stem
► demands of the law assisted in the erec
tion of our new jail, took rooms in that
public house on Saturday morning last.
But an opportunity being offered to him
to leave, never to return, he accepted the
offer, and has left McDuffie for McDuf
fie’s good. Jake had earned considera
> bie notoriety by exhibiting his great in
dustry in doing more little mean tricks
than any other darkey in the county, and
leaves few to regret his departure. We
bespeak for Jake a cordial reception by
town marshals and jailors in any town or
county in which he may make up his
mind to stop, as he will be sure in a very
short time to call into requisition the
cold charities of these functionaries.—
Fare thee well, Jacob, “and if forever,
fare thee well.”
Still it Comes.
The bank suspensions, the tightness of
market, the money crisis and the dull
ness of trade, all combined, seem to have
little effect in deterring our farmers from
sending forward their cotton to market.
For several days past we have noticed
a considerable number of wagons on our
streets loaded with cotton bales, indica
ting a disposition on the part of our
fanners to hurry them crops to market.
We hope that they have given the matter
that consideration the unsettled nature of
things just now evidently requires, and
that they are acting after mature delibe
ration. Things cannot rest as they are ;
the demands of commerce will force a
change, and we hope soon to see the
dark clouds clear away from the monetary
sky, and things assume n healthy condi-
I tion. But until that does take place, we
| say again to our farmers—hold your cot
ton, and hold it at home. You are not
; versed in the arts of Wall Street ehieane
: ry, and must not believe “all that glit
ters to be gold. ” The short turns takeu
by Northern speculators, and the exist
ence of prwoerful “Rings” and corrupt
“comers”, where all appeared to be fair
and lovely, have taught us to look with
suspicion upon these movements. There
is in the present crisis one very remarka
ble feature, and that is the sudden dis
l appearance of currency from circulation.
! Where is it ? It is not gold, nor does it
| demand gold ; therefore, it is of no use
in foreign commercial transactions, and
: must remain nt home. May it not be
locked up somewhere to produce the
very crisis that has come upon ns, and
detrimentally effect the price of cotton ?
Onee more wo say to our formers, keep
your cotton, and keep it at home that
these vultures who prey upon the cotton
planter of the South may obtain no in
formation in regard to the extent of the
crop produced. Be judicious, for once,
and let those who have inaugurated this
sehome. fall into the pit they have dug to
ensnare your feet.

CiT We would call the attention of our
readers to the advertisement of Horace
Waters & Son, headed, “Waters Con
certio Parlor Organs, and for a descrip
tion of them, we can’t do better than
copy the following : “The Watebs’ Con
