The statistics of business failures in 1 the United States for several years put present some startliug facts. From Jan- ; uarv Ist, to September 30th of the pres- i ent year, they unmbured S,.'HU, with a j total liability of &1 HI, 171,000. Os these, ; Georgia is charged with 128 failures w ith j 84,318,480 of liabilities. Financial Philosophers attribute these ] numerous business disasters to tile llistu- j bility of onr currency, the rise and fall i of gold, shrinkage of stocks, Ac. ; hut j the principal is.use has been the inordi nate craving of men without experience ; or capital to rush into business uud grow ! rapidly tU l>y speculation and trade. In Georgia enough men have been rn- I iue.l to make an army, mid enough room , ey lost to pay the .State debt l>y gamb i ling in oittoil futures alone. t'XOIGOU*.

I*oß li lt ia positively astonishing to what disgusting extremes soul. 1 men, through natural stupidity or deliberate meanness, will resort k> attract attention or produce n sensation, The Portland Oregonian says that f lon. John H. Morgan, of Him federate fame, was not killed in East Tim lie. .see, in 18(11, but was wounded uud made his escape to Oregon, w here lie lived, until his recent death, under the unsullied name of John Pendleton, and Mint Ins father-iu-law, a man named Nelson, now resides near Portland, ill that St.de. This is all consummate stuff, Gen. Morgan married Miss Heedy, daughter of •x-Cuugreaamau Charles lteed.y, of Mur freesboro, TYuuesaee, and was brutally murdered lis East Teiiurssee, as many or his can maud oau testily, who saw him after his death.

(I'oinuiuuicnted.) Nov. Ist, 1875. Messrs. Editors ; Tlie Warren ton CUpjnr says : “With thi* vegetable, (speaking of hams,) sell ing at 18cts per lb., that the undulating end man of the Thomson band, the ju venile sinner can't afford to eat them without coming down to hard labor.” The end man is not astonished at the elevated price of the vegetable, if tlie Clipper '* ham is a fair specimen, for there is » dead failure in crops. To buy that ham by weight it would cost but lit tle at their own price ; the great expense would be in piuvbasing other vegetables to fatten him. As for the scripture he call* for, if he will read his Bible he eau dud it, as some of the leaders of liis pu per have done who heard the joke given. Bus ra. LINCOLN COUNTY. Business called us to this division of our (Bate last week, and it may not la: improper to chronicle aome of the inci dents and observations of the trip. Be fore commencing onr narrative, however, we will wsrn all who may contemplate milking the journey alone, to take at least five hour’s rations of mental food, and eveu then there is danger of the trip becoming monotonous. Not that nature lias failed to dispense her beauties and hiewings, but. the “rustling wind, the 1 a eiy shore*, the varied colors of the untiiruu leaves, with no one to speak or to admire, tiegctn a solitude vast us a si lent ana.” LEAVING THOMSON on Sunday about Doon, with chart in hand as onr guide, we were rood beyond the scenes so familiar to onr gaze, cours ing our way in the direction of Kaya ville. Kielila uud woods were passed in succession, and while some of the former have been stripped of their products, many are yet inviting the husbandman to gather tin l fruits of hi* toil. On some plantations cotton fields ore perfectly white with the staple, wliiie ut interval’’ may tie seen ti.'l fi> win re the fat ears of corn gracefully bow us if mourning the time when they shall be plucked from the patent stock. The order bus gone forth, however, to “gather them in,” for along the route over which we passed there are “lowing herds and grunting swine” who will soon warn their mas ters that the season is at hand when they can no longer make their own living, 1 Fall oata have also been sown by many farmers, and ulready they ure beginning to spread and cover the earth with their green foliage. Four o'clock finds us on the heights - overlooking the hanks of Little liiver. Before descending we halt to take a view of the country around. TUo buildings at the ancient VILLAGE OK HAYHVrLLB are rapidly yielding to the demands of ; time. Visible signs of former wealth - and prosperity arc yet to lie seen around j the homesteads in too vicinity, but they, ; too, speak in language plain of blasted ortmies and withered hopes. Home j nullifies linger yet iilxuit these sacred hills, while otlnYs of the original flock have sought different spheres and differ- I u pleasures. Many of the cabins on ; the larger plantations have for years I been vacant, and the. weeds and briars hat wave their branches above their : door-ways speak in mockery of a false 1 freedom, and seem to mourn the delusion which enticed the happy inmates away, ! A sigh for the future of tlio “nation’s | wards,” am! we pass to the other side of J the river and breathe tin: wholeseme ail I l,f LINCOLN COUNTY. About nniyftowu our faithful steed j halted in front of the residence of our ! friend, A. E. Strother. The pleasant— - i “how-d'y'r-do,” and “how's all” having : been exchanged, we were invited to “light,” and we “fit.” Charmed with j'he surroundings, wo concluded to test j the report that there w as “hog and hora -1 iny” in Lincoln. Accordingly we ac companied Mr. S. into the barn-yard I where quiet was not restored among the | noisy swine until the contents of a well j filled basket of corn had been placed at | their disposal. This may be a “Sunday < trick, thought, we, mid we began to ex amine tlie ground to ascertain the amount |of ooba thereon. There were thousands of them, lender, mid if you could see them you would conclude, with us, that it was nil every day business. (What, a j it tiling to l«i a hog and belong to Mr. j H.,) We next, cart our eyes about to see what the prospect was for a glass of sweet milk or bowl of country butter, and scarce had we turned our head when before us stofwl “cherry,” and “old • pot,” ami “mooly-hritd," ami “pink” , and “ohl crump," uud a host of others, awaiting the demands of the milk-maid. \ By this time the pend lady announced supper. We accepted that invitation also, and wo trust that tlie hunger occa sioned by our long vide will be accepted as au excuse for our nueont tillable appe i rite. Hopper over we begun to quiz | “Babe," mid elicited the follow ing facts .ii regard to his EXI’KIIIEUIK SINCE THE WAR : lii 180.8 he began file for himself, and not desiring to sever himself from youth till associate ns, or get far from the lml jow ed influences f -I*' e parental roof, he ivucliidial to settle near the old home stead. Having selected a siTo he began tns improvement* where not a board laid been riven or iv mortice cut. Now lie has every necessary building for the comfort of lus family, the safe-keeping of farm products and the care of stock. We were informed that there has never been more than two tenants on his farm at any time since the war. Since 1888, , in addition to making a home support, lie has sold meat every year, and has al iso sold more than 1,200 bushels of grain, besides raising 74 bales of cotton. Go and do likewise. Monday morning we took up our line of uia rh for niNeoi..vros, at w hich place we arrived at an early hour. The country along the route is not very thickly inhabited, and while a majority of the farms give evidence of prosperity, a few are marked by decay's effacing fingers. Tlie fall term of the Superior Court, which is more of a shadow tlimi a sub stance, was in session, his Honor Judge Pottle, presiding. The entire business of the Court wt.s dispensed with in less than two days. This may be accounted tor, first, from the fact that transgressors, while (..arc that Judge Pottle is merci- ful, know that he will vindicate tlie law ; second, the negro population are in the minority, and lastly, liecause the finan cial condition of the county is healthy in consequence ot the fanners living at home. In addition to the local bar we noticed ■ ill attendance npen the Court, Judge Win. Mi Heese, M. P. l.i-cse, Gen. D. M. Dnßose, Hou. Frank Colley and Mr. Huubrii k, of Wilkes ; Col. W. 1). Tutt, of McDuffie, and Solicitor-General Lnmpkin, of Oglethorpe county. One of tlie most interesting arguments had was in a case in which Col. I'utt con tended for the “dividend” on a negroes “sweat,’* when onr friend, M. P. Bees: declared t!iat under tlie circumstances he was not entitled to any. The jury de clared the dividend. Lincoluton is a village of possibly a little more than an HUNDHEIr INHABITANTS, the members of about a dpzeu families. The village is surrounded by a range of bills from tlie summit of w hich can be seen in tlie smoky distance still higher elevations, while between them the “sweets of the valley repose.” The Court House is a handsome new build ing, erected with brick made near the place, and if some “developer” does not conclude to tear it to pieces for the rich ; metal that is thought to be encased in j the burnt mortar (many of the brick have a green tinge caused by the copper they contain; it will remain until “age , shnll stand with docent grace on the vis age of unborn generations,” 1 We met quite a number of old friends, i ; residents of both Lincoln and Wilkes 1 counties, and formed the acquaintance of ; many who, if they feel no especial inter est in us, were lavish in their prnises of | j the Journal. Among other SUBSTANTIAL MEN of the county we were pleased to meet ] “Tullu-i,” our good-looking and popit- j lar correspondent, to whose efforts, with j Col. J. E. 8 toother, the Journal family feel greatly indebted for the extensive j circulation of our paper in Lincoln coun ty. Hou, N. M. Crawford, the worthy representative of the county, will please accept our public tlumks tor his ltind uchb, ami lie may rest assured that we now moke the appointment to take “quail ou toast” with him when wo visit Lincoln again. We will remark just litre that for height or avoirdupois Lin? coin can measure or weigh Sheriffs with uiiy county in the Htute, while their clev erness is only equaled by their size True, Mr. Coleman looks like other men, but there is Mr. Willingham who is six feet and two inches in his shoes* while ! Mr. Chenmiult will “pull down" about i 250 ou well-haluliced scales. Judge j Johnson, the Clerk of the Court has u i huso of his office for life. Hoary age has long since frosted his temples, but j then is st.iil vim in hm step and speech. ! Judge Tatum, the worthy Ordinary, Ims \ placed the seal of Ida office ou the re- j cords of hia comity for nearly ahalf cen- ! tury, and while he, like other men, Imw , Imu Ins share of perplexities, nothing i seems to have ever given him more Iren- : ble than those ill-niauucredly follows who j persist in marring the beauty of the ! I walls of the new temple of justice with ' tobacco juice, and the idle freemen who, | “instead of remaining at wurk drop ev erything and lire tfi inselwi to Lincoln ton, amt take seats in the Court House, to listen at soinathiug ub >.it which they know nothing, and m which they have no interest. ” He cannot makes hem cry “o-prey !” .is he had done, “tint that thing,” says the Judge, “must be stopped.” THE LOCAL 11A11 is Composed of Messrs. T.nug and Strother who reside in the village, and Col. J. E. Strother who resides 6me distance ill the country. None of them hesitate to measure m ins with the recog i liizeil giants of the profession, and all of 1 them enjoy the full confidence of the 1 people. Dr. Wilkes is in rather a grave mood | over the sluggish progress ot the AUUUBTA .« H.UITWEI.L HAU.iiOAli, i to the success of which enterprise he | has given much of his time uud money. We did not rc-naaert in lus hearing the powerful opposition with which this hue | would have met, running,- u» it would ; have done through a section id country entirely controlled by the Gil. Bail rend, i uor did we refer to the tact tlmt the friends of the A. If. Builioad would ; be compelled to ask alms m an eueniy s territory in order to insure the success jof the enterprise ; but, taking it for granted he was iiiunhiir with these facts, we suggested that he turn lus attention iu another direction, mid give his time and influence to aiding in the building of | the CINCINNATI S CTIIEKN, which if built, would no doubt pierce tlie heart of Liuooju county.- How few parallel, or competing lines, of railroad running East and West, com pared to those running North and South, j There is scarcely a day’s travel, ou foot, between the lines last Mentioned, while i a few lines monopolize the enormous freights ou imports and exports from West to East. A direct lino of transpor tation from Cincinnati to Savannah, Go. woulTl tap ala ge belt of rich country in Eastern Kentucky and Teunesso and Western North Carolina, comparatively undeveloped on account of deficient transportation. This, we think, is the read mostly needed. Then, Doctor, conic to the re-cue, with tongue and pen, and perhaps your future efforts will be crowned with greater success than in the post. THE FARMERS. How different the social chats of the farmers of Lincoln county ireui those of . our own community. ”he low price of cott Hi dot* not make them pull the hair from their scalps or try to stamp off their shoe-soles With a majority cotton is a surplus crop. “Have you finished sowr , mg w lent or oats” is a leading question ' at tliis time, while yon not unfreqnently hear the remark—“f hope to be-able to spare a little wteafcaext year." TEMPERANCE. We must not fail to chronicle the pro gress of temperance reform. We here woi'ii all temperance lecturers that if they j contemplate a journey across that coon i ty, they would do weil to carry their ra tions, for the citizens would lose money to feed them for the good they would ac complish. We learned that the Ordina ry issued retail license the other day to a firm iu the East rn portion of the coun ty, but for effae time previous not a drop of liquor was sold in the county. During our stay of two days in the vil lage of Littoohiton we did not see a sin I gle individual, either resident or visitor, who had the appearance of having tasted | whiskey. This is certainly tire banner temperance county. And now may those j people exclaim : > “And when our children turn the page, ; To ask what In uq, at is marked our age — ; What lire tlmlieng* praise. Through the Lug line of future days '4 his let tfi. in read, and hence instruc tion draw : “ ‘Here were the many Mess'd, Here found the virtues rest. I'aitb linked with Love and Liberty with Law.” ’ IIORLW ARD BOUND. ! Tuesday evtatng, in company with j j Col. Wiilimn Shrother, we left the village j | of Lincoluton, and ut dark “ brought j l up” iu front of his hospitable mansion, i where we remained for the night, the i ; particular guest ts our friend and com- j I ritcie, J. E. 8. The same ftrmueaa which j | characterized him at a soldier marks ev ery transaction in bin profession. Both parents still occupy their accustomed places arontid the family Ittnrthatuue where “cheerful looks ami happy liiiiik 1 makes eycrytliing a feast.” ' tuoruiug we turned our face homeward, not regretting onr visit to Lincoln.

L jit is ever to Is 1 done, of course there I must be a beginiug, and now is the I proper time to begin. Wily ?

(Pi, at»o, in labor cheap, and, therefore, buildings must Cost less than five years hence. ID-filex, those »h • begin now will have the eAo/'ec of n <««• lion, which will toll largely m tlie future. It is true that foreign capital hits not heretofore 1 bben largely drawn to (Jeor gi», despite her many advautegos. But the chief obstacles arc removed, or in the course of removal. The sporadic ruffianism which u few years ago dis graced many sections, mid which outni* dor* charged to the whole State, and the whole people ia rapidly disappearing, : - all good citizens recognize tli.it it is inju rious. The yuan i •pu.lnitioii of llio State's obiigatio'is by tno Legislature had, temporarily, :l *' “ l effect abroad, but being betterituJVuM'.i..«l, now it is com putatively harmless, especially as good lawyers know that our own ('mirth will protect all innocent purchaser, for value. Too cxliorliitant homc-tciut and person alty exemptions, and the hick ot luciii tiea for prompt coltectiou of debts, and the hiding aid covering up of property as practiced by many are still serious uii stactes to the influx of capital. Bit even these, it is believed, vviii be rapidly iesseie and when lite Legislature can apply its real wisdom to the public good atone, j Tlie State finances, eveu with the quite recent loose management, are iu a tairlv healthy condition—tlie county indebted ness is small, perhaps not it half million j in the whole State, and taxation, outside i of two or three targe towns, is h it sen ously burden reader With a more sensi ble and t pud t»y law, and a sterner ad ministration, bo h in assessment and col lection, Georgia will stand the equal of : the best. With ail tins our natural ad-j vantages ure unsurpassed, and our vast i resources its yet almost uutoiicli xl, only i waiting time, and skill, and human la- : bor. Lei the readti: understand that in Lan- I cashire, the gre. t centre of the world’s ! cotton mnnufacluruig industry, tipinning j uud weaving are distinct, separate branches of bi.sines;. The owner of looms buys his yam as he wants it, and just what suits him, from the spinner, who buys his rav cotton in Liverpool. The weaver mates such goods us suit his ! markets, sefitpg iu port to his neighbor, the calico printer. Aud of tiio two and a half millions pf bates winch we export to Europe, a ray »in<ill portion comes ! buck to as «s goo.ls. Even prints are not now largely consumed by us, ami . Froueu cniie iis rarely seen. -Husnus o» all kinds, jaconets, plain, printed amt I worked, we receive in cmsiderabie quan tity, but tile weight of goods is squill. ; F.tTy, even forty years ago we consume | largely Asiatic cotton goods. Who of middij age does not recall the farmers ; naukin and the solid imligo blues, which whitened so tad ou school boys knees and elsewhere. Eveu to this day Dee ! oa M.tslina Barpa« French, and the poor Hindoo hand spinner and weaver pro duces a thread and a fabric which all the ! money and machinery of Old and New ! England nave never rivalled. In the South, consuming say 130,000 | hales, a few small factories produce yarn ! only, which find a steady and remwkera : tive home market. Must of our mills, | however, weave their own yarns, turning i out sheetings, shirtings and drills, all j unbleached and ntidyed, while a few on ly produce the more remunerative stripes, j All these goods, though finding an im- I limited consumptive market at home, j seek first the great distributing centre— I New York. The Eastern and Middle : States, consuming rather above a million ! bales, produce yarns for export to Eu ! rope and Asia, though most of the mills | both spin and weave, turning out sheet i ings, shirtings, drills, stripes, muslins, | long cloths, and printing cloths, which i latter are sold to their owu calico prin ; ters. Their goods find chiefly a home | market, among the forty millions of our j people, exporting also hr Mexico, Wes! j Indies, South America, the Islands of : the Pacific, including Australia, and j their yarns find markets to some extent j in China, India, and even England. ; Augusta, for otton manufacturing, lias j snpierior advantages to Lowell. the ; former has cheaper sites at>d*po«er, ' cheaper building material, better cli ' mate, cheaper labor, exemption from ' strikes, ami less stoppage from low wa j ter. Lowell has cheaper money, and cheaper machinery to the extent of the small item of transportation only. Sin lias a slight advantage, too, in the item of transportation to the distributing point for goods, which is offset four times over by Augusta's saving In trans portatiou, commissions, wharfage, dray age and storage, of the raw material, while the Augusta mill owner has fully equal facilities in selection as the man who buys in New York, or even iu Liv erpool, except only that Angus'a neither has in a- d>; ires tu.y of the short, dry harsh, dirty colt. ,i of India. All these tilings will 1 readily cone led by any fair-minded, v ell-ms utued p'-raon. N w 1. j uci '-ii a step further, and tnainfiiiu that whin Augusta has advan tages superior to Loud! and even Man chester, ye! for epiniihtff co* ten, tin j counties of Columbia, McDuffie, I,in- j coin, Wilkes, Elh< rt, Warren, Ogle-■ thorpe, Hancock, Bwhv'n, Putnam, !

While ! 1 do u >t doubt that cotton manufacturing 1 t»y «b m .will, prove tijply remunerative .ill over the Hu:ith. whin fuel is hot too dear, yet v-v must utilize first all the •vatcr-p over wc have, because it is the cheapest, mist reliable, b, rt. Hence ; t ie Is .tinners wid have tie choice of sit uations, and almost every neighborhood j iu the counties mine and yftn funiish agood I site and power, tot at leant it small spin ■ ning business. i It is well known that all through this i country wo have many small farmers, | producing cotton, and successfully, too, j who can not at'ford the heavy expense ol j preparation if their cotton for market— j can not afford to buy and erect the nee j essary fixtures ni.i buildings. They must employ their neighbors to do tins wotk, at a cost of tour or live dollars a ! bale. Good farmers, too, know that giu | ning is the most exhausting work ol their farm stock, and some prefer to hire their cotton ginned and baled. Hence has arisen a practice of selling seed cot ton, which i- strongly objected to in some places, us offering facilities fov steding. How much better it would be, then, to have a small yarn factory iu ev ery neighborhood, where an honest, open market would bo afforded the year round for ail cot foil offered, iu small or largo i quantities, forcu-h, there to be ginned ! and Kptlil. | 111 my next, l shall enumerate other j advantages of cat ton spinning in the j country, leaving the dying and priutmg | to the larger capital of the city mills, j and will endeavor to show the feasibility j of the project.
