MACON, SEPT. 23,1870.
The Feeling in Part*.
Species of (he 16lh, in the Herald, represent
the feeling in Paris as very calm and resolute.
The Paris of old—full of life and gayety—had
gone, and the people, deprived of almost every
personal comfort, had settled down to calm and
determined endursnoe. Not a policeman was
visible on the streets, but sooial security was
never more perfect. The bustle in the city 'was
purely military, and confined to the movements
of troops and supplies. A painful change was
to bo noticed in the cleanliness of the city.—
■Where once all was perfect order, garbage and
household refuse of every description were
thrown carelessly about, and no attempts made
to remove them. The sidewalks were never
swept. The whole population were intent on
military preparation, and tho printers were re*
presented as taking a turn at the manual of
arms while waiting for copy.
The correspondent dined with Victor Hugo
and the young wives of his two sons. Hugo ex
pressed his stem determination to mingle freely
with the troops during the siege and urge them
to defend Paris till every quarter of the city
was blown to atoms, and the invader and invad
ed found a common grave in its rnins.
“This is the way,” said M. Hugo, after a
pause, “in which Paris must perish. While the
spectacle of her fall, sir, may horrify the world
and bring grief to Christianity for a season, the
crash will at the same instant ring out and pro
claim tho resurrection of tho democracy in
France and in Germany—a resurrected demo
cracy which will soon avenge her terrible fate,
and aveDge it completely, but, let us hope, not
The Telegraph and Messenger and
Judge Stephen^
From a letter in the Savannah News, of Mon
day, signed S. M. Strong (who writes from
Thomasville,) we make the following extraot:
But pardon me; Mr. Editor; I only
to deprecate the fierceness of Invectiveinaaigea
by the press, particularly the Macon Tsuxoaira
and Mxssbngeb, against Mr. Stephens jmd oth
ers who endorse his views. They do ^ot de
serve public oensuro and an indefinite exile from
the honors and favor of the Democratic party.
Mr. Strong unintentionally, we are sure, does
ns injustice in this statement. What we said
was this:
We do not hesitate to declare that any man
who is not eligible,-and who allows his name to
be thrust as an element of discord into a con
vention, deserves publio censure, and an inde
finite exile from the honors and favor of the
Democratic party.
As Mr. Stephens had not allowed his name to
be thrust into a convention, nor, in fact, was
known or suspected by ns of entertaining any
such design, we fail to see how our remarks ap
plied to him; or, in faot, to any other gentle
man who had not actually done this thing, or
given notice of an intention to do it. Our re
marks were intended to apply only to such can
didates as might adopt the line of policy indi
cated. We hold, of course, that it is any man's
right to go before a convention for nomination,
but we are none the less firmly convinced that
such an act at this time, and under present cir
cumstances, is unwise, selfish and dangerous,
and deserves the severe reprobation of all men
who honestly desire unity in the party, and the
speedy and final redemption of Georgia from
the grasp of the common enemy.
The Democracy of Georgia through every or
gan by which their wishes and oonviotions can
find a voice, have declared, almost unanimously,

A Savannah negro with high notions of “ekil”
rights, was pat off the Isle of Hope train, Sun

from Bullock to the virtuous Forney.
Speaking of the English spinners and weav
ers who recently arrived at Savannah, and des
tined for the Eagle and Pheaix factory at Col
umbus, the News says “they included sixty-six
of the finest and most intelligent, hale and
hearty men and women we have ever seen, and
were aooompanied by anumber of rosy cheeked
children.”
The News has the following items:
Savannah Bananas.—Two bunches of banan
as, grown in Savannah, were entered yesterday
for exhibition at the Central Georgia Fair. Also
a beautiful and ingeniously wrought wreath,
made of the foliago of all the agricultural plants
of the South.—Macon Telegraph and Messen
ger.
We have in the Forsyth Place two trees in
fruitage, the bunches of which will be ripe in
time for oar Fair in November next. There
are at least a hundred trees in thi3 city most of
which are in fruitage, one grove noticed in the
News some time since having over twenty trees
in fruit and forty-six in bloom.
In ah Uncomfortable Position.—The brig
Queen of the South, arrived in port Saturday,
from New York, after a passage of five days.
Captain burns reported that on tbe edge of the
Gulf Stream he was exceedingly disturbed by
a tremendous storm of thunder and lightning,
and the fact that his vessel contained some
three hundred and seventy kegs of gunpowder,
made the situation rather unpleasant Provi
dence and a good arrangement of non-conduc
tors, warded off the danger.
Neglect ob Oaslessness.—The Tybee light,
the only guide to mariners approaching this
coast, was from some unknown cause extingu
ished on Saturday mcming between twelve and
one o’clock, and for about an hour and a half
remained “out.” . Wo hope the United States
authorities have not adopted the role of light
ing this important guide according to the
phaseb of tiie moon, as is done by the gas peo
ple in this oity.

Editors Telegraph and Messenger : ■ • I
From statements made by planters in re
sponse to inquiries, as to cropV it is certain
that while a good crop of corn is made, cotton
is poor in almost, if not in every section of
Houston. Fertilizers have generally benefit
ed corn and injured cotton. A good crop
now and then of the latter, from the use of
Guano, is the exception, and poorer crops
than the _ natural soil would have produced
without it If corn enough for home con
sumption his been made it is attributable to
the use of fertilizers; a larger area planted
and improved, cultivation, which is a move
ment in the right direction. The prospect of
only 16 cent! or less for this short crop of cot
ton is depressing; but it is hoped that the
present yearis experience will work a change
which will injure continuous and i permanent

M. Bauer, of Paris, has taken a patent for
file mannfactxre of steel printing types. Ac
cording to the specification, the inventor em-
ploys a machine similar to those for making
pins or nails; a roll of wire being placed on a
reel, the machine nips off a piece of a given
length and tones one end of it into steel die.
Fine soft iron wire drawn to the shape of the
body of the type is used for tho purpose. After
leaving the machine, the types require trim-
miog by hand. When this has been effeoted,
they are placed in metal boxes with the mate
rials used for oinentation, and are heated to a
proper temperatare in a farnace. The inven
tor says that, with a single machine and steam
to the extent of aae nominal horse-power, he
can produce thirtr.fivq thousand types in twelve
hours, and that while the fapea are far more
perfect and more durable, the types themselves
are cheaper than those in general use.

From Laurens County.
Laubbns Hilt,, Ga., Sept. 15, 1870.
Editors Telegraph <fc Messenger : Suppose I
were to tell you that I had a stalk of cotton 28
feet high and 24 feet broad; you might Bay that
is big cotton, and then again you might say that
is a big lie. I do not pretend to say I have such
cotton. A little oyer 7 feet high will take my
best; but there must be big cotton ihGeorgie.
In yotir issue of week before last, you gave au
account of a stalk of cotton, in ‘Burke county,
containing 500 bolls, and it had been seen by
one 6f the editors in Augusta. My imagina
tion has been on the stretch to ascertain the
size of that stalk of cotton and (having my own
cotton for a guide in the calculation) the near
est I can come at it is the mammoth stalk men
tioned above, i. «., 28 feet high and 24 feet
wide. I get the size as follows: My cotton, 7
feet high and 6 feet broad, has one-fourth that
amount on it, say 125 bolls. Of course, then,
it would seem fair for it to be four times as
high and font times as broad to make 500 bolls
this is fair reasoning from the ground up, un
less the Burke cotton bears more according to
size. There may be 500 bolls on that stalk in
Burke county, bnt I confess I am like the
doubting disciple—unless I can see the stalk
myself and put my fingers on the bolls, I can
not believe. Please understand: I impeach no
man’s veracity, and it may be I am altogether
at fault as was the doubting disciple. As the
Georgians say, that stalk of cotton “will do to
tie to.”
As my sheet is not fall, I will touch upon an
other subject. I notioe a piece in your paper
signed “Planters’ Friend,” urging the planters
to meet their “factor’s acceptances” promptly
and fairly, and the piece has your cordial en
dorsement. Why not meet all'their obligations
in tire same way? lean see no good reason
why factors should be paid sooner than other
people. I believe these factors’ acceptances
are an injury to some men. They setup men
of no capital to bid against us for labor—men
who have but little to lose, and, in some cases,
men who care but little what they promise so
they get the bands. .1 do hope the factors may
get their fingers so decently burnt that they will
not repeat the folly again.
I am with you on the debt question. I have
paid my debts, Confederate and all, to the fall
amount promised, and am in favor of all men
paying their debts precisely as they promised
to do it, if it takes the last cent; but no sooner
pay factors than others. I had as soon be
oaught s'ealing my neighbor’s hogs as to be
caught taking advantage of corrupt laws, or
any other kind of advantage to defraud him out
of Lis money. I can see no difference. One
character is as bad as the other, and both should
bu assigned the same position in society; but
instead of that, publio opinion denounces one
as a hog-thief, and holds tho other up to tbe
top notch of respectability. This is entirely
wrong. Rogues ought to find their own level
as well as water, and they will be apt to find it
in the next world; if they dodge if in this.
There is but one way to be honest, but “man
ho3 sought out many inventions.” We have no
Legislature now to make laws, It-expired forty
days after date, but I sincerely wish the Bul-
lockature would make a hull to compel every
man to pay his debts, and turn him loose in
our settlement, and let him blow up every stay
law, relief law, and homestead higher than any
bull ever tossed dirt in the air. Make the bull
and let him out to lock horns with the old chap
who “goes about like a roaring lion,” and let
every good Radical holler, hurrah for the BullJ

.. Aztec Ruins.
A Santa Fe correspondent of the New York
Tribune reports the arrival of Governor Avny,
Speoial Indian Agent, from a tour in the Sierra
Madro Mountains, in which he has made mar
vellous discoveries:
He reports that daring bis tour to reach the
Utah Indiana at the west of the San Juan River,
his party found the Canon de Ckelly. This was
explored for more than 20 miles. They report
canons whose walls tower perpendicularly to an
altitude of from 1,000 to 2,000 feet, the rock
strata being as perfect as if laid by the skilled
hands of masons, and entirely symmetrical.
'Among these canons were found deserted rains
of ancient Azteo cities, many of which bear the
evidences of having been populous to tbe extent
of many thousands of inhabitants. In one of
these canons, the rooky walla of which rose not
less than 2,000 feet from the base, and whose
summits on either band inclined to each other,
forming part of an arch, there were found,
high up,‘hewn out of. the rocks, the ruins of
Azteo towns of great extent, now tenantless,des
olate. In each of these rooky eyries remained
in a state of good preservation a house of stone,
about 20 feet square, containing one bare and
gloomy room, and a single human skeleton. In
the oentre of the room were eyidences that fire,
some time, had been used. The only solation at
of this enigma thus far ventured, is, that these
solitary rooms were thealtaTplaces of the Aztec
fires; that from some cause the people, at a re
mote period, were constrained to abandon their
homes, batleftone faithial sentinel, in each in
stance, to keep alive the flames that, according
to the Indian traditions‘of these 1 regions, was
to light the way of Montezuma again to his peo
ple—their hoped for Messiah and their Eternal
King.
A close examination of many of the ruins
proved that’the builder must have been Bhilled
in tbe manufacture and use of edged tools, ma
sonry, and other meohanioal arts. But who
these people were, whence they came, or whith
er they are gone, is now probably, one of the
mysteries to remain eternally unsolved. Some
of the ruins are reported to be stone buildings
