Madbid, July If .—Tho Cortes havo passed a bill indemnifying the Bank of France for the annulment of the treaty regarding tho Spanish lean. The Cotton Crop—Official. YIashkoTo!!, July 14.—The July returns do not materially change the cotton crop prospect reported in Jane. Severe rain storms have, continued to obstruct its cultivation and check' its growth in the States upon tho Gulf coast. Too States of Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, and Florida average lower in condition therein | then at the date of the last re port. The Geor gia and Texas averages remain unchanged, and an improvement is indicated in the Oarolinas, Tennessee and Arkansas. The per centage in each State, as compared with the July statement of last year, is as follows: July, 1870, North Carolina, 94 per cent.; July, 1871, 99 per cent; South Carolina, 1870, 9G per cent; July 1871, 100 per cent.; Georgia, July, 1870, 101 per cent; July 1871, 82 per cent; Florida, July, 1870,9S per cent; Jnly, 1871, 88 per cent.; Alabama, July, 1870, 102 per cent.; July, 1871, SI per cent: Hisssis3ippi, July, 1870, 95 per cent.; July, 1871, 80 per cent; Louisiana, July, 1S70,101 ’per cent; July, 1871, 75 per cent; Texas, July, 1870, 97 per cent; Jnly, 1871, 93 percent.; Arkansas, Jnly, 1870, 101 percent; Jnly, 1871, 00 per cent; Tennessee, July, 1870, M per cent.; Jnly, 1871, 9S per cent. - While no estimate can at this early date, be authoritatively made, this information leads to the following conclusions: With a reduction of 10 per cent, relatively low condition, and a season as long os that of 1S70, there should be gathered a crop of 3,200,000 bales or abont as large as that of 1SG9; with a season of average length 2,900,000 bales; with an early frost and a very unfavorable season for picking, 2,700,- 000 bales. The prevalence of insects with other unpropitious circumstances would proba bly reduce the crop to 2,500,000 bales, ahd a steady improvement of tho plant for sixty days with the longest and most favorable picking season, might carry tho aggregate up to 0,500,000 bales. This is presented as a fair statement of the range of fhe .probabilities based upon the most extensivo and reliable data, and uninfluenced by the clamors of the speculators of the cotton exchange. WAsmxGTON, Jnly 14.—No more applications for soldiers’ discharges have been entertained, as the army is now reduced to 30,000. The President remains at LoDg Branch till the 15th, when ho goes to California. Ho is not coming to Washington unless an emergency requires it. The Aitomey General has gono to North‘Car olina to make a speech. The Kn-klnx Committee examined Treasurer Angler, of Georgia, and Mayor Anderson, of Savannah. Their testimony frilly sustains tho deplorable financial condition and bad manage ment in their State, and their evidence fully mstained the current statements of venality and in competency of persons in power in Georgia. New Oclean3, Jnly 14.—The Republican State Press Convention adjourned this morning dne die, after a stormy sossion arid bitter con test throughout tho sitting of the convention between the Warmonth and Bonn factions of tho Kepublican party. A resolution offered, endorsing tho entire administration and Repub lican measures advocated by those officials, wbs voted down by 20 to 14. Resolutions were rilopted pledging a faithful advocacy of Republi can principles, as contained in tho Chicago platform; that President Granthasproved him self to be an honest public servant; and after reiterating what ha3 been accomplished by his administration, pledge the papers represented to support hi:n for renomination in 1872; pledge themselvos heartily to assist the Repub lican State Central Committee in its endeavor to allay ail factions and disquiet in tho party; will advocate retrenchment and economy in tho administration of the State government; a re duction of executive patronage and power; a remission to the people of their right directly to control the officers who collect the taxes of ■he State, and such modification of tho election, registration and auxilliary laws thereto, as will prevent frauds. Speaker Carter, in advocating the abovo reso lutions, said of the registration and eleotion «ws; should tho Democrats como into power *bey would keep tho Repnblioans ontof office for an unknown nnmber of years. Pnblio pa- rionage seems to bo tho bone of contention srnong Republican editors. In commenting, the Kepublican 6ays that when the Republican Pwty enacted the printing law it did not intend to. create a disorganizing element in its own ■uidst—ferocious to devour its friends if it conld not control them. It simply strained tho uberalhy of the State to found and support a public press which might correct the prejudi ces of society and reform th'o passions of tho tonr, by explaining and defending the interests the nation was imposing on tho State.— Bie allowance was liberal and tho provision ^pie.nndiftheKepublicanpress had recognized *-e wisdom'and tho providence of tho legisla tion which enabled them to start into existence, •hey would have been a source of pride to the cwte and a aonreo of power to tho party, biEAToo.v, Jnly 14.—In tho first race St. Pat- nc * was tho winner.

Washington, Jnly 15.—An ex-Confederate captain named Talliaferro, planting near Ma con, Miss., testified that fifteen colored persons were killed and many whipped in that vicinity within the past year; that there is an organized band of Kn-klnx in that county. Talliaferro attended several of its.meetings, though he had never took the required oath—the supposition of those present being that he was initiated by the captain of the band, who can swear in a member. His friends and neighbors all belong to the band. Talliaferro gave the committee de tails of the organization, signs, grips,’ etc. He once went on a raid with the band, and was present when several negroes were whipped. Their object was to obtain entire control of the negroes and-make them vote as their leaders with. No pro secution has been or conld he in stitnted in that county, as no one dare prose cute. Talliaferro was a witness before the grand jury at Oxford, Miss., and oh his testi mony several members-of the Kn-klnx were in- dicted: ’ Colonel Fry, Assistant Adjutant General, has been, transferred from the Department of the Sontif to the Department of Missouri.

J; •T‘ r ?coiq7£c*y' Tho Pilot, a leading Republican newspaper, gives Alcorn an editorial castigation. It says the Govomor’s republicanism is of recent date; is immature and wanting in soundness. He has not a vital principle, but only a set of ideas that might be used or not, as they might best seem to promote personal interests. It charges him with having violated the faith of his friends, by appointing Democrats and old Whigs in office, in preference to those who voted for him. The great body' of : the soundest‘Re publicans feel deeply his many political of fences, and ODiy wait the opportunity to enter their protest against the practices of ah Execu tive who has betrayed the sacred trusts com mitted to himfor they find that patronage arid power has passed into the hand3 who seek to overthrow the Republican party. Referring to Uie complimentary article to Alcorn, published in the Leader, the Pilot says : “But when a pa per goes beyond all that the history of events will warrant, to -praise a favorite, it becomes fulsome flattery, and is a stench in the nostrils of sensible men.” , LraEBTv, New Yobk, July 15.—At a. celebra tion at Loon Lake, in the town of Wayland, last evening, a. cannon was discharged prema turely,'instantly killing Mr. Rynders, and fatal ly wounding T.

Macon, Ga., June 27, 1871. ‘ GOING IT7BTHEB SOUTH. . ; 1 Lofting Atlanta for Macon we rode to a place called Griffin, some 40 miles distant, and made a homely supper before going furtheri The cars ran slow—100 miles in eight hours—but then this was a slow.train. Tho fact is that even the fast trains do not make your head swim on account of their speed. They make, as. a matter of great consequence, 20 miles an hour. In my opinion, some of the railroads of the South are only great in one particular, arid, that is the price of tickets for local travel. Let ns compare: .New York to Washington, 236,miles, 8 hours, §7 50; Augusta to Atlanta, 171 miles, 12 hours, §8 50. All rates down hero are five cents a mile, and the average speed of trains is probably fifteen miles an hour.* : On the route from Atlanta to Macon the road is marked, on or near it, with frequent brick or granite chimneys, against which wooden honses have been built. The chimney is erected first and the house afterwards, andthe former always survives the latter either after fire or decay. The country people along this route do not seem to be overburdened with high ideas of architec tural beauty in building residences, but live in shanties. Many who occupy these impromptu dwellings are wealthy, and the theory of neces sity, therefore, is not well grounded. But a few of the rich residents have fine gardens, vine yards and hunting grounds. Arriving AT SIACON, you see .it, bub appear to go around the place about three times, like a hawk encircling his prey, before you reach the depot. Once landed, yon find a busy.place. A set Gf hills and plains, abont three miles square, from the city limits. These confront each other, and are blended in beauty of scene and uninteresting business rou tine. Tho people live on the surrounding Hills in rosiderices as comfortable and beautiful as will be found in tho most modern northern country business town. Tho now houses and stores are built on tho most approved modern plans, with all the improvements. I believe Thackeray said that Macon “looks like a city of palaces.” Magnificent, residences are many in nnmber, and not a few are furnished at a cost of small fortunes. . . . v . ' THE PEOPLE ,. ,'r‘X '•> tlm tinS In oSmirA. both for their publio spirit and practical judgment. They are gen erally wealthy merchants and planters, sobor and moral. - They discuss politics only once a year, and then only talk and work for nominees; for politics among them is a one-sided affair. The Democrats aro in secure majority. They speak of the North a3 if they believe there ac tually is such a place as the. North, and as if they know something abont it. They get stock and market raporle by lolegrupn otujjt lwur vi two, and they take pains to famish me contin uous reports of the fluctuations in Rock Island stock and cotton, though I have no personal in terest in either. Simon Cameron says he thinks Macon is the prettiest place he ever saw, and he loves the people here. Right hero I wish to say that the people of the South are making more money now than they ever did at any pre vious time in their history. Especially is this the case ever since the war in Georgia and South Carolina. True, the losses by the war were very great, both by actual losses and in dorsements for one another, but a suspicion of a neighbor’s ability to pay has acted as a gen eral safeguard to everybody, and men who nev er did a day’s vyork before have applied their talents and physical strength in efforts to make money, and fortunate circumstances have con spired to make them snecessfnL Many who were §40,000 or §50,000 worse off than penni less when the war ended are now quite well-off again, but, of course, many unfortunates have gone deeper !n debt. Few failures are noted in Macon. Her native business men have been in menae, and average each a capacity of storing ten thousand bales of cotton. AH business buildings are of brick, it being against the law to erect .wooden: buildings within fire limits. PUBLIC BUILDINGS, ETC., - are many in number and qnite imposing. The Court-house, now being erected, is made of brick covered with acid and penciled to look like Northern pressed brick. The roof is of mansard style in galvanized iron, and it, with the whole building, is patterned in imitation of the Strasburg Cathedral. The Methodist Female College was the' first female college started in the United States. -It originated in 1837. It has 240 pupils and an honored list of professors. This college ranks now among the first in importance in the United States. The Masonio Temple, of the Grand Lodge of the State of Georgia, now building, will be a fine structure. It will cover abont three quarters of an acre of ground. This fra ternity has considerable property in Macon, and its rents are a good income. ; " r ~ y ., r; The Mercer University and Appleton Church Orphan House are large and well-endowed in stitutions. The former has abont §500,000. The Cemetery is a most beautiful and roman tic spot. It is situated on the banks of the Oo- mnlgee, and the hillside slope is a wood of old water oaks and tender saplings. The scenery around and all through it is varied and qnite picturesque. It abounds in secluded retreats, springs, rivulets, bridgeg and vaults, and mau soleums and magnificent statuary erected arid walled in on hillside lots, overlooking rue trees clad in verdure of ivy and evergreen. To the mind of the Southerner the idea of throwing vile dirt upon a dead body is revolting in the extreme. To obviate this they dig a grave some six feet deep and brick it up to the top of :thd coffin box. .'When the coffin is inserted they arch it over and brick it up to the surface of the ground. The city own some two thousand aores of ground in thecorporatelimitffaiidtheoutskirts.! .bout-one thousand aores of this is nowbeiqg ttod up for the State Agricultural Fair to be held'riext October, 'Part of this tract Is a race track, a'mile long, and as level as a floor. Great preparations Are on foot for holding, the fair.. The Commissioner of Agriculture regards the fairs held here as very important matters. He attends them. The city has tho mo3t beautiful natural site for a large park, that I have ever seen.- t.r:-.' ■ i nl -•!> $6IdaU-edi j Considerable effort, was made when it became probable that the capital of the State would be moved from - Milledgeville to have Macon the capital. The question of removal had been agitated torn long time by .the people of the northern part of the State. At the lime of changing the constitntion the opportunity of fered and the battle for peace was waged be tween Macori and Atlanta. The success of the' latter point is well known, as well as the: im mense prosperity that followed that event. It; was one strong link in the chain of circumstan ces that places Atlanta in the lead of any south ern inland city in progress. .r'J' THE CITY FINANCES. - Macon has a population of abont 18,000 per sons. Her debt amounts, to only §700,000, most’ of whioh was incurred in aid of railroads. They are all constructed, and the stocks premise to become profitable investments. The other as sets of the city available for sale, if desired,: are much greater than ■ the whole indebtedness. THE HEALTH OF : THIS LOCALITY r is good; in fact, very good., The climate is dry and braoing. Epidemics never visit .this place. The business or lower portion of the city is not, in my experience, as cool.as might be desired. In fact, I found it hot; The in habitants say it is cool and delightful there all summer. Probably I was there on awfully tor rid days, as they say I was. Whether the state ment of the inhabitants or my own experience is correct is matter of little consequence. I don’t see why Macon shonld be a hotter place than the neghboring towns. W. P.

The Courier-Journal, in the course of an ar ticle on .“The Gambling Mania,” relates the following experience of a disgusted poker player: An unhappy friend of oars, who has led some what of the life of a sad dog of^lato, but who may now be seen any Sunday - sitting pretty high np in Dr. Graik’fl church, a swinging of his feet under the pew and looking as pious as men usually look when they have been disap pointed .in lovo nr vinlnoliy at cards, has comiflu- nicatcd some facts to uf, in confidence, the pub lication of whioh seems to be .justified by the ends of good morality. “Sir,” says he, “I have studied the cue papers, and you know that I know the whole'science of chance.

'• -i : . has resulted in bringing a thrifty class of North ern business men who have infused Yankee life into the dealings, and made Macon a good dis tributing point. Her native people lost little in the war except slave property, and though that loss was great, yet the benefit of profit since has repaid that loss Beveral fold. Emancipation has been a pleasant experience for Macon. The city stands at the head of the cotton belt of Southwestern Georgia and Alabama, aDd all that country pays tribute to it.. Planters from sections northeast have taken their trusty labor ers to the cotton belt below here and raised cot ton. This emigration was of the trained class, both proprietors and laborers. The riewcomers have emptied their products into Macon as a shipping point, and from thence drawn their supplies. The effect was to enhance the value of her real estate and infuse prosperity into every vein. Property, owners have doubled, trebled and quadrupled the value of their pos sessions, and find ready purchasers. No store or warehouse is vacant, and the demand for dwelling honses is greater than the supply. - THE BUSINESS OF MACON is therefore of a substantial sort. There are now occupied abont 200 first-class stores, be sides a large nnmber of shops. Many stores do wholesale business only. Twenty-eight first- class stores and about 400 fine private-resi dences are now going np. Two grooery and drygoods houses, or-planters’ outfit establish ments, do a greater business than any in the State, each making sales aggregating#!.,000,000 per annum. -Next to Memphis and Augusta this is the greatest interior cotton mart in the South. The reoeipts for 1869-70 .were 81,000 bales, while for '1870-71, np to Jnne 25, over 100,000 bales were received, with more than two months yet to run. The merchants feel gTeatly encouraged by their success. Some of this cot ton is mannfaotnred on the spot. Though her two cotton hauls’ are worked by steain, under many disadvantages of expense for coal and wood, which are not felt at all where water power is used, yet both pay in dividends more than ten per cent, npon the capital. One com pany has been in operation twenty-one years, and the machinery is now quite old. ft has always been snecessfnL It has a surplus fond of over 50 per cent. -The Confederate govern ment erected an immense briok armory here; a company has been formed with- a capital of §500,000, and the intention is.to fit it up’ for a ootton factory of something like a thousand looms, for making No. 14 yarns and ootton cloths. They propose to utilize the waters of ’he Oemuigee river, which runs with navigable volume past the city, and would famish sufficient power to work at least a million spindle*. Several manufacturing establishments here are important for this section. Among these are three iron foundries and machine shops, em ploying a few hundred hands. The railroads centreing here, six m nnmber, have fine work shops, and employ a considerable nnmber of mechanics and laborers. There are also manu factories which supply the local wants of the neighborhood, snob as sashes, blinds,’ bricks, etc., besides several flouring mills. These last ship flour to all points.

The events of tho week in Wall street wero a de cline in speculative shares- iritbe stock exchange, with veTy little permanent reoovery in prices—a sharp decline in gold,' with partial-recovery kt dose —weakness in foreign exchangee, and a marked re action in government bonds from the recent ex treme buoyancy. Fluctuations were more numer ous than important, and the volume of business has boen generally light in all departments. In re gard to the stock exchange, money is plenty and cheap enough, but there is little confidence. Stock exchange is without a bold and dashing leader, which explains in another sense the general dullness now prevailing in the market at intervals daring the week. : The number of brokers in the board room did not number a dozen, which may convey a little idea of tho, condition of affairs in the stock exchange.'

ISCKXDIBLF POWER OF A STORM. A Train Blown front the Track--Immense Destruction.-” 1 "'",'" , The telegraphic reports Ln no-way exaggerated the tremendous force of the storm which re cently devastated a- portion of Nebraska. In the country near Omaha serious mischief was done. A number of people were killed, and a vast quantity of'property destroyed. The house of a farmer, J. R. Jester, was lifted bod ily-from its foundation by a furious blast and whirled through the air five rods or more, stun ning and braising the frightened inmates. In the same town nearly every house was unroofed, the wind tearing the roofs off fike pasteboard. For miles the fine com fields .arid wheifc fields have been rained. Bays the Omaha Herald: A procession following the corpse of Lewis F. Thompson was overtaken by the tempest about fonr miles west o( this city. Mr. Ireland was one of the first to Bee it coming,, and, being a strong'man, he jumped out, hoping to be able to' hold the carriage to the ground. But his efforts were fruitless, the vehicle being twisted oat of his grasp and overturned. Nearly every team was lifted bodily from the ground. A car riage' iri whioh Mm. Thompson, Mrs. Ireland, Mrs. Soott, and other near relatives-of the de ceased were riding, was capsized. The hearse ran down into a hollow, where shelter was af forded. One lady was taken np from the ground and carried a distance of two hundred feet in the air before she oould regain her feet. The men.could not stand-up, but were thrown about at the mercy of the wind. . . The afternoon .‘rain on the Fremont and Elk- hom Valley Railroad was struck by the storm between Scribner and Crowell, and the three ooaches .were lifted from the traok, thrown down-the embankment, and.tnrned upside down in. the ditch.' One side of the engine was lifted eightiriehes from the- traok, but the coupling broke, and it fell back again. Nearly every passenger was more or less injured. John Mo- Clary, of Norfolk, received a fractured skull; hisjwife was braised beyond recognition; their son, Johnnie, had his skull fraotnred. Robert E. Farley’s shoulder was dislooated.»The left arm of Dr. A. G. Beebe, of Blair, was broken above the elbow;' Conductor McLeod’s shoul der was broken. Lew. Reed, of this city, was on the train, but escaped with only slight braises.. But one mile from the wreck of the train; the house of Nathan Austin was picked np by the wind; carried abont 100 feet, arid torn completely into pieces. Mr. Austin was crashed to death in the wreck by falling .timbers. His daughter escaped with her life, though she was severely injured. - H ■ The Union Pacific Railroad express train, whioh had drawn up r to to the water tank at Lone Tree, was backed away from the building when tiie approach of the Btorm was noticed and not a moment too soon, for the windmill and budding fell immediately afterward with a fearful oxash. As the storm swept about, the train, shaking it tremendously, the employes of the company harried toward - the sleeping-cars which were considered the safest from being the heaviest, arid they said that the' passengers were nearly all on their knees praying for mer cy, for not one expected to escape alive. Im mense hailstones fell at this point, and a dis patch received from there said that none were smaller than coffeo cups. One was found that actually measured twelve inches in circumfer- ence. In the oily twelve honses were blown dbwfian&jJestroyed. j The roof was tom from the^back sidetof the depot^; - the kitohen of the libkl, was blown down; the telegraph poles were iogOrom the ground; a box freight car, which -WSratanding on a side track was demolished; lumber were whirled in every direction. ; The operator telegraphed that “a woman was pickednp by the wind and carried a quarter'of a mile at the rate of a thousand miles a rriin- ute.” ,A gentleman named E- Phelps, living near Lone.Tree, wais killed, his daughter fatally --..I -'—'--it hta family more or less braised. The storm there continued abont fen. minutes, and its traok was about ten miles iri width. Within that limit every field of grain was entirely destroyed. At Blair the Sioux City and Pacific round- house was blown down,’and the watchman, with his son, narrowly escaped from the rains with their lives. ' Mr. Boston’s house, about one mile from the town, was tom to pieces, but fortunately no person was'injured. The loss in buildings and crops, which is immense, cannot now be estimated, and it is probable that'farther loss of human life wilTbe reported. ' *' v - " ] Bosadalis is used in the practice of, and endors ed by some of the leading physicians throughout tiie land. They are induced to -do this from the fact that its formula is published around each bot tle, so that the physician knowing its component parts, and being: already acquainted with' their properties, prescribe it with all confidence. Nicholasth-le, Kt.‘, February 17,1869. Gentlemen:—I have seen the effects of “Eoaa- dalis” on patients in my own practice, and take pleasure in attesting to its merits as a very power ful alterative.. In eases of scrofula, rheumatism, secondary syphylia, etc., I always recommend it.' Very truly, yonra, J. 8. Spabks, 1L D. aprl4-eod&wtf. THE WIN SHIP COTTON GIN. Ahead of AU . Competition.

We find the following synopsized extracts— from its country exchanges—in the New Or leans Picayune, of Wednesday: i The Madison Journal reports crops improving. The Sparta Rural Times reports the corn crop seriously injured. ' / . , \ . The Abbeville Flag says the cane in Vermill ion parish is very promising; and our planters have reason to look for an abundant yield., • - - ■The Tensas Journal, of, July 8,. sayS; The crops throughout the greater portion of the part ish havo improved very much, indeed, during the past two or three weeks of favorable weather. Corn will doubtless rally under the last rains and fill out better than anticipated. This from the East Feliciana Patriot, of July 8: Tho weather for Jhe past few weeks has been favorable for the crops—dry and warm, with occasional showers. Should it continue and the worms not come, we may safely expect a cotton crop only one-third, less than that- of last year. Of corn in this parish there will be only half enough raised to meet the wants of planters. - According to the Register, the prospects for a good sugar crop in Plaquemines are most oheering. Rice is also doing welL The Democrat has from all quarters still dis couraging accounts of the crops in Rapides. Tho com crop will be a failure; cotton with a good season from now out, may reach a scant half crop. Even the cane crop is far from be ing good. Most of the plant oane will do pretty well; as for the stubble, it will not yield seed cane. The. Sugar Bowl says the crops on .Bayou Bceuf, L’Onrs, Black and Terrebonne are doing well for the most part Several of the planters are still in the grass, and many have laid by their cane crops. Corn and cotton will be short Si^coL- — ■«— cciruj ' While asking attention to the advertisement of the Staunton (Va.)
