figures, but with a alight upward tendency. On
Saturday prices advanced a %c, the market closing
firm at 14 cents. On Monday it opened lively at
14%, and in an honr after it advanced to UK-
Soon the morning reports from New York and Liver
pool were received, announcing a heavy advance
and active markets, and, not to pat too fine a point
upon it, this market immediately “fin the track,”
and advanced at the rate of a %c per honr, dosing
active and exdtod at 15% cents for middlings. On
Tuesday a reaction sot in and during the day prices
fell off a about $£<5. To-day the market opened
dull at 14% and soon fell off %c—closing quiet at

A Balloon Battle.
Urn. .following extraordinary statement ap
pears in a Belgian paper called the Nouvelles
da Jour, from one of their correspondent* at
the seat of war, which note was conveyed to
Brussels by a carrier-pigeon:
“Paris, Ootober 1.—Nada returned yesterday
to PariA. HU return was not effected wi hout
much trouble, although his balloon was favored
by a good wind since his departure from Tours.
Bat I will narrate the facts in their chronologi
cal order. He Iqft Tours at 6 o’clook in the
morning, and the bold aeronaut arrived in view
of Paris st 11 o’clock, floating about 3,000 me
ters above the fort of Charenton. At the same
time as the Intrepide—which was the name of Na-
dar’s balloon—appeared a second balloon was
observed in 1 the horizon. Nadar was seen to
dispay a arteamer with the Frenchhational col
ors. Immediately another national flag floated
from the car of the other balloon.
Vigorous hurrahs and cries of ‘C’est Dorouf!’
proceeding from the garrison of the fort, greet
ed the appearance of the two aeronauts, whose
balloons gradually approached. When they
were within a short distance of each other, sud
denly a loud report was heard in the air, fol
lowed by a series of explosions. These were at
first thought to bo demonstrations or signals of
victory, until Nadar was seen to fling himself
into the network of his balloon and to cling to
its sides. During this time the other aeronaut
continued discharging shots at Nadar, which
were traced in the sky by their luminous ef
fects. The Intrepide descended rapidly, and it
appeared to the spectators below that some in.
comprehensible event bad taken place above.
But mark what the French flag in the neigh
boring balloon bad come to. Ic had been re
moved, and a black and yellow standard was
observed to be floating in its place. Then all
was explained. ‘Treason! It is a Prussian bal
loon ! He has fired on the Intrepide! Nedar
is lost!’ were the cries that bnrst simultaneous
ly from the French people. But Nadar was safe;
for he was seen to descend rapidly in his car,
and the balloon to nearly reach the earth. He
cast out the ballast, and re-ascended, having
stopped the hole [made in his balloon by his
adversary. Then shots were rapidly fired from
the Intrepide into the Prussian balloon, which
one, losiDg all power, descended to the earth
with giddy velocity. A detachment of Uhlans
who were in thn plain, and who had been fol
lowing the aerial combatants throughout this
oxciting struggle, rushed forward, and, sur
rounding the balloon, received their champion
—God know3 in what condition—and then all
hastened off at full speed to the Prussian ad
vanced posts. In the meantime Nadar descended
safely at Charenton, where he still remains.”

Beware.—The public in general are caution
ed to look ont for the spurious articles pnt np

Iheifacoa Telegraph and Messenger says
the weather for cotton gathering was never
r, and that the crop is large. Yet the plant-
ire not jolly because, as it pays, “they are
ding this year to sell at a sacrifice to pay for
at, an! corn, and guano, with little or no
jiict of having a dollar over.” Tbe Tele-
iph Mil Mes-enger hopes this miserable bnsi-
ius played out. It wonders, as we do,
the planters online themselves so closely
it’oa, and that they do not raise corn and
it. The whole style of Southern agriculture
st he changed It needs diversification. It
■it too mach with one crop. Every planter
bsll raise his own food, and then be would
we Lis cilton for a margin of profit, after ex
es** were paid. It is not for the North or
to omp’aiD, however, if the South keeps
«lf paw and subordinate. The West sends
ifcri i-ti l wo send it clothing and maonfae-
ardirtV s. Between the twoit takes all the
ngtrsn l cotton to pay for them —JV. 7. Com-
urti.il Adeerti.tr.
Of c mrse the North and West wiil not com-
[iva of onr determination to remain their
hr wo h ipo (hi diy ia not fax off when
kali have smill ciuse for smh complaint,
la* AJvsrtisar tells tho whole story, and forn-
i * the strongest of arguments against our
bUr, in I hie jnragranh. The wbo’o world sees
al fieri hs this s-.ieidal policy, bnt still we pur-
rar it. Tujj Ltugh at na, and jeer ns, and
Anye a, enormous profits on tbeir products,
alwego on like a parcel of jackasses and
■ark only the harder to earn their contempt.
Som-timea wo think tho Southern people
we less wisdom than any that history gives an
-’oust of. We know of none, cortainly, with
tiich to compare them in this respect. We
ajii' iuh-ed compare them to the ostrich, who,
iroting his head in‘o the sand, thinks his
Ma body is hidden, but snch a comparison
--’'fi not do the ostrich justice, seeing he is
-ra l.mte. We pay per cent, a month for
»<\v to bny bacon, and corn, and guano to
nlr a huge crop of cotton and then think we
wetting rich. If men don't think so, why do
ky p r.ist in tbe policy ? We will probably
ave half n million bales more this year than
®, and what will we show for it when the sea-
over? With good lack, a lot of drafts
it hive keen paid, and a few of tbo‘ e mann-
i.’tnred articles and some of that clothing the
forth sells ns at snch fat profits. We mny have
•St enough to last over next season, bntthere’s

That Milliner’s Bill, Again.
We inide mention, some months since, of
tite a spicy casa then on trial in tbe Boston
«Mls wherein the parties were a Mr. and Mrs
wlidge, swells with grent expectation and a
•obbish love of fine clothes, and a Mrs.
bat, with ay, mind yon. Mrs. C. had employed
trs. F. to make and trim certain dresses, and
h. F. had sent in a little bill for $1,911.11,
hereatMr. 0. “cussed” and tore his hair and
tore he wouldn’t pay it, until a Jury made
in do it. At it they went then hammer and
mgs—in a legal way—and tbe result is Mrs. F.
its a verdict for $1,183.30—quite a deduction
tom the original charge, bnt still, we suspect,
taring ample margin for profits. Instead of
oolidge fixing tho Fiynt tho Flynt has fixed
im, and furthermore had tho delic'ous revenge
t telling the Court and Jury and an immenie
towd in attendance, that Mrs. O. had a most
miserable figure, and required more making
P to look presentable than any person she had
i»r known! If Mrs. F. isn’t satisfied with her
Kttory she is hard to please. As for Mr. and
In. C., “phancy their phelinx.”
Gone to Woke.—The Armory Colton Manu-
'aclnring Company have secured the services o/
ttf. Brown, tho gentleman who built tho large
•ad elegant hippodrome at the Central Georgia
•air Grounds, who will proceed immediately
fith the work of removing all old timbers from
Armory buildings and pnt new ones in,
•ailable to the purpose for which the building
"to be used. The walls of the Armory are os
5°od as new and are a splendid picoe of brick
aaaonry, but the sleepers for the floors, rafters,
**•, have been exposed to wind and weather
fat the last five or six years, as the Confederacy
t{ at down about the time the roof was being
Pat on, and, consequently, all the timbers are
•aaroor less injured, while some of them are
laite worthless. Therefore their removal is the
tiling in motion. With good luck, the
I'Wapany will be able to turn out fabrics from

OBITUARY.
Died, at tho residence of his father, Jndge J. T.
Glover, in Twiggs county on the 11th instant, of
congestion of the brain, J. J. Glover, in the four
teenth year of his ago—thus severing another link
in affection’d chain.
Death, to the finite mind, is always associated with
feelings of melancholy and gloom; bnt especially is
this the case when the young, with all the promise
of a bright future before them, is called to tiro
spirit land. The subject of this brief tribute was
pre-eminently of thiB clasB; of amiable and pleas
ing address. To know him was alone sufficient to
establish ties of lasting affection. Endowed with
an intellect of unusual activity,'ho gave promise of
a brilliant and necfol life. How heartily do we con'
dole with the fond but grief-stricken parents, whoso
affections were so c’oaely entwined about this
dutiful and loving eon. Aye, wo could o’en offer
words of comfort to their grief-stricken hearts, did
wo not know too well the sheer mockery of such
words. Yet, there is joy unspeakable in tbe thought
of that eternal blissful re-union that awaits all the
povp’e of God; a re-union where sorrow ne’er in
vades, bnt all is joy, and peace and love.
This is but another illustration of God’s mercy In
taking from ns onr brightest jewels, and planting
them in His immediate preeence, that our affections
may be drawn thither. We dare not deny that His
chastisements, though sometimes bard to be borne,
often prove, even to our dark understandings,
blessings in disguise. Let us always endeavor so to
regard liis providences and trust Lis promises.
••Death should come
Gently to one of gentle mould, like thee;
As light winds wanderingthrough groves of bloom
Detach the delicate blossoms from tbe treo.
Close tby sweet eyes calmly, and without pain.
And we will trust in God to see thee yet again.”

We have unusually exerted ourselves to render
such accommodations to our planting friends as to
enable them to harvest their crop and trust they will

and if upon maturity of papers the market should
be low and depressed, will endeavor to extend the
time of papers and await a favorable market up<
