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.

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.—

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.” ,

Journal of Commerce Commissioner at tho South.)
Letter from JIacou.
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. G,

How a Kentucky Poker Player Came
; to Join the Chnrch.
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. At one time I had a dead thing on the
faro-banks. As to the game of poker, I con
sider myself the best poker player alive, both
mentally and physically. But there is no use-
AgLUug ugoliist lUKW. It. it.
sir, will be'at any living man—it’ll beat the old
est poker-player in the - world, sir—and it beat
me. What do yon think, begad ? Wby, sir, at
one sitting, by jingo, thoy beat a king full for
me, several flashes and three aces repeatedly!
I can’t play againBt no snoh luok as that, you
know. Of course not. I just set, sir, like a
baboon rubbin’ a boar’s back, whilst everybody
preyed upon me. If I had a flush somebody had
a full, and if I had three kings somebody was
sure to have three aoes, and that’s the way it
went for six hoars, until they beat me out of
about—well, dam it, there’s no use specifying
amounts—but a good deal of money. I thought
I was playing it like a learned pig, and they
thought I wasplaying it like a blasted Jackass,
whioh was the faot So, I-have-just dropped
out of the horizon, like the. prismatic tints of
‘the evolutionary rainbow—in point of fact,
joined tho churcb, begad.”

resolutions:. '• -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.' The week cloefcs in great and continued

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 - " ]

Louisiana Crop Prospects.
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

We have had the pleasure of a visit from
Capt. J. F. Whitfield, General Agent of the
Montgomery and Enfanla Railroad, to whom we
are indebted for the following particulars with
reference to this road. - WajagUi .;i v,
Within the next tan days trains will bo run
ning to Fort Browder, distant from onr city
only about fourteen miles.' The track laying
will have extended some distance this side of
Fort Browder, but this will be the present ter
minus of the road for the reason that to bring
the regular trains farther, would interfere with
the eonstraetion trains.' The grading lifl oonn
pleted to within a short distance of town. There
is nothing to interfere with the track laying ex
cept the innumerable tressle bridges to be erect
ed. Not less than sixty are necessary between
this point and Union Springs. The road v* 11
certainly be completed and regular trains run
ning through by tho 1st of Ootober.
