It. with fourteen buck shot, through him. few feet from him lay a bag of cotton, which he evidently had stolen and was earning to some buy er. It is reported that he had quarreled with a fellow-workman’ in regard to cotton, on Saturday; and it was suppos ed the shooting was done by thi* party. He was arrested, but discharged again on Monday. The thief has woodbiued certainly—but who “sent him np the spout’’ is the question now. A Beneficent Law is that which prohibits the sale of spirituous liquors upon election days. In consequence, our town was peaceful and orderly last Wednesday —more so than upon some of our bus}' days. Whereas, if liquor had flowed as freely as some desired it should flow a pandemonium of devils wouldn’t have been a circumstance to ♦he uproar— especially about that, place where the radical votes were “dished out" accompanied by an oath to “vote them and none other.

They can easily have it redeemed with out troubling ilie batiks. From a h ttcr recently written by Gen.

Address, J. L. Peters, Musip publisher, 509 Broadway, New York Condition of the Cotton Market. Within the past two days tho cotton ; market has rallied from the extraordi nary depression that has existed, and prices have taken a sharp upward turn. This improvement, though not unexpect ed seemed rather doublful a short time since, there being not a few who looked 1 for a very low range of prices during the autumn. It is difficult to deter- ; mine whether the present advanoe | will bo maintained at the moment, though it seems very probable that la ter in the season a much higher range for American cotton in the, European markets will be witnessed. Liverpool 1 will be slow to c nnprebend (he change ' in the condition of the crop in the j Southern States. The effect of the brilliant prospects of July cannot easily be eradicated, and from the tenor of late mail advices there is every reason to believe the estimates had been gener ally advanced beyond what might he considered reasonable finurcs, even un der very favorable circumstances. When we rend in tlie circulars of the most prominent, conservative, and best informed operators of the Liverpool market that the 4,000,000 bale esti mate is losing advocates, it is not diffi cult to get the key to tire market for ■ the last thirty days. Tho truth is that i Englishmen have been fooled so often ! in crop estimates that they have adopt ed the rule to make liberal allowances on both sides, and to be safe, always incline towards the “bears.” The tele graphic receipts at the seaports are watched with care, and their indications are given nmeli weight in the solution of; the problem. Now it so happens this; season that the shipments from the in- J terior are cxcedingly large, and there- ; fore, at first view, would seem to indi ' cate a large yield. | The very disasters that have shorten- j cd the crop, made the picking easy and 1 of limited duration, and hence plauters j have been enabled to send In their crops more rapidly than the previous season. Wherever the worms stripped the; leaves from the plants, all the bolls ! have iinindiately opened so that the first picking-, would be very large. The j drouth has had a similar effect. How ever much planters may be dissatisfied with the ruling prices, they are compell ed to sli p to'meet their engagements. The factor requires liberal 'consignments to cover the advance during the season. The planter has no moral right to hold back his crop till he has made his sup porter comparatively easy. There can he very little lioldii g back, therefore, for the present, though it is not- likely plantations will be swept as clear as last year. —A. O. Picayune, Sept. 20. The National Election Law. —The recent appointment of a chief supervisor of elections brings to mind some of tho peculiarities ot the new Election Law, of which city voters will have a taste next November. Two supervisors arc appointed for each electiou district by the United States circuit judge. They mu-t bo of different political parties, and able to read and %’rite English; and for those accomplishments, added to their other qualifications, they will receive $5 a day. This is a novelty ; but nothing alongside of the remarkable powers devolving on the United States Marshal. That personage may appoint specials unlimited in each and every election district. The number rests wholly with his discretion—and may be 1,000,40,000 or 100,009. The depu ties, of whom no accomplishment ex cept political fidelity, seems to be re quired, are also paid $5 a day. The business of the deputies is to keep order at the polls, prevent fraudulent regis tration and voting and make themselves “generally useful” as the g.-ateful re cipients of government patronage might naturally be expected to do. The law is not one which is pritna facie to be ad mired. It is certainly a scheme for scattering government funds among large numbers of tho people, and it is open to abuse by unscrupulous func tionaries. Its operation throughout the ! country at the national election will show whether the real purpose of the law has been misjudged or not. — JY. Y. Jour, of Com. - ♦ m Suspended Insurance Companies.— The Andes Insurance Company, at Cin cinnati, lias gone into the hands of a receiver. The Superintendent of In suratice in Ohio shows that it has a deficiency of over $200,000. The cora paoy has an agency in New York. The American Insurance Company of Jersey City has suspended, by order of the sheriff, who will sell, as advertised, the effects thereof. | From the Tolegruph k Messenger,2d inst.) Funeral of l**v. J. Blakeley Mmllli. The funeral of this greatly beloved minister, and Christian gentleman took place from the First Street Methodist Church, yesterday afternoon at four o’clock. Avery large congregation was assembled, and the services were ot the most impressive character. There were few dry eyes in that large audience Tears were alike honorable to the living and tlio dead. Quite a number of ministers were in at tendance, several of whom took part in the solemn services. A chapter from the Bible was read by liev. W. W. I licks, 1). 1). a prayer was offered by Roar. A M. Wynn, of Amcricus, and the hymn read by Rev. J. O. Branch, of the Mulberry Street Church, after which short, but touching addresses were delivered by Rev. E. Myers, D.D. President of the Wesleyan Female College, Rev. George C. Clarke, ot Dawson, Rev. J. AV . Hinton, of Macon, and Rev. A. M. Wynn. The addresses were all very brief,.and too full ot grief to fully speak the virtues of him for whom the sad services was being ren dered. The ministers wore barely able to speak. Their brother and friend had been very dear to them, and the news of his sudden death had caused thorn the most profound and sincere sorrow. He was to them as a brother greatly beloved ; and Ills departure was like sundering family ties. Over thirty carriages followed tho remains to the cemetery, and very sad were the many eyes that looked their last upon all that was mortal of Rev. John Blakeley Smith. It seems that Mr. Smith, though ap parently in most robust licaltb, has for some weeks been laboring under the impression that, ho would shortly die. 11s was profoundly impressed that each sermon would be bis last; although it is not known that lie stated to any one his reasons for this impression. When he was attacked with his ill ness Monday morning he was standing in tlic yard of his friend. It was ob served that something was the matter with him. lie was assisted into the house. Very soon afterwards he said he should have to §o to bed. lie was as sisted into the bed, but was there only a few minutes when it was discovered that he was breathing with greater dif ficulty. Tn a few moments more he said, “I believe lam dying. Tell my wife all is well.” “That was all, and the soul of the good man passed away. Well might his brethren sing, “Servant of God, well done ! Host fiom tliy loved employ, The battle’s fought, the victory won, Enter tliy master’s joy.” What Came of a Fish Breakfast. — Marcus A. Bell keeps a select private boarding house on Wheat street, at his residence, known in common parlance as the “Calico House,” or Bell Man sion. On Saturday morning the bourd [ ers wer i regaled with a sumptuous fish breakfast. The fish were selected with .care, and seeming fresh and good. I Several of the boarders complained ot feeding sick before dinner, and one ! severely. Dinner catne off' about half past one o’clock. Mutton, beef, chicken, vegetables, milk, etc., was served up, and all partook of the dinner. About half-past two or theca o'clock, several were attacked severely vomited. Some fifteen or more, were more or less affect i ed. All who were severely affected, paitook of the fish at breakfast, while 1 several who ate the fish were not affect' cd. Those most severely affected, were I Mrs. A. J. Urine, Mrs. Bacon and | daughter, Colonel J. R. Sneed and his son Percie, Mrs. Regan, Mr. Quinglcy, I Mr. Fairweather, and Col. Sage. All ; have recovered except Mrs. A. J. Urine, j who is extremely low. No suspicion | attaches to the cook or any one connect jed with the house. Mrs Jell was at ! tacked violently that evening, and her son and daughter have been quite siok for several days. The boarders all remain satisfied that, whatever the cause, it was the result of mere accident. Dr. J. F. Alexander has been attending the sick ones, and af,ri butes it to something that was eaten by them. — Atlanta Constitution. Ist inst.

Nor have I forgotten that vour money has bought what stands in it !'* I TItEPAUDONOF Y E R K BS H A RTI tAN F r Bolstered on Penitentiary Affida vits.—The Tnbnn% of the 18h ult. says: The pardon of Yerkos and his release ! from the Penitentiary is the latest sen sation from the maelstrom of Pennsyl vania politics. If wo read aright the brief Associated Press dispatch announ cing it, tho first result lias been an affidavits from Yerkos contradicting ilurtrantVs latest excuses for his own misconduct in tho matters which sent his associate to the Penitentiary, The special dispatches sc din to shou instead that Yorkes lias been pardoned, to unswear his former affidavir, and help Lis partner. That cannot win. If will, 'nstead, be the final ruin of tho candidate whoso last desperate chance is the purchase of affidavits to his char actor by the release of a convict from the penitentiary. -•-- Montgomery has received, up to Fri day evening, 10,471 bales cotton, against 3.1 11 to same date of last year.
