The Georgia 'Weekly Telegraph and. Journal Messenger. Telegraph and Messenger. MACON, AUGUST 29 1871. Mews Items. Geaxt and Gbxeley.—Philosopher Greeley starts out west on the 4th proximo, as the Sun says,ostensibly to tell what he knows about farm ing, but really to cover up Grant and Morton’s tracks in the political field and lay open a far row broad and deep for himself. The Sun in terviewed the philosopher last Thursday, and got this opinion from him: “There is no doubt that there is a very wide spread feeling of dissatisfaction with the admin istration among Bepnblieans. My judgment is, that Gen. Grant has made too many enemies to run—that he is not the candidate that can be elected. Therefore, it is necessary to have an other candidate.” “The fact is, there is a general feeling that the Grant family is too large.” . The Sun predicts that Greeley willbereceived in the West with tremendous enthusiasm, and his tour will be an ovation. Shonld’nt wonder. There are millions of the Western farmers who believe that Greeley is the wisest and purest man of his time. Saxe.—One night last week in Saratoga the gas gave out and the clamor for-candles and kerosene was ludicrous. The poet, Saxe, ac cording to the correspondent of the Commer cial Advertiser, borrowed a candle of a beauti ful young lady. The next morning she found under her door these beautiful lines t “Ion gave me a candle; I give you my thanks* And add as a compliment J nstly your due— Xhero is not a girl in these feminine ranks Who oould, if ehe would, hold a candle to you.” Gen. Stoneman.—The order of the War De partment, retiring Gen. Stoneman, has been re voked by direction of the President. Sens ron Damages.—The Staten Island Ferry Company which ran the Westfield is a ruined community. Three of the concern will proba bly get a term in the penitentiary, and already fifty actions for damages have been announced by relatives of the killed and injured. Beductkg Expenses.—The Murray Hill “high flyers of faahioD,” are organizing a society having for its object the redaction of extrava gance in dress. Each member will agree to spend so much, and no more on her toilette, and to pay cash! Now If “so much and no more” were a small cum— fast enough to meet the requirements of modesty and good taste, the society should not confine itself to Murray Hill. It ought to be co-extonsivo with the national boundaries. Eably Fnosx.—There wa3 a heavy frost on Mount Washington last Sunday morning, the telegraph wires being covered to the size of a man’s arm, and broken besides near the sum mit. Boutwell and Grant.— The World says that Bontwell has been propitiated by the slaughter of Pleasanton—has withdrawn his claims for the Presidency, and now agrees that the nomination of Grant is a political necessity. The party of the other part also agrees that it is a “national necessity” that Bontwell should be Secretary of the Treasury for another term. A New Floub Mux.—At the late Edinburg meeting of the British Association of Science, as we see from a report in the World, a paper was read upon a now mill, now in operation at Edinburg for grinding wheat. Says the report: This mill reduces wheat by percussion, while it is unsupported, and falling freely, or being projected through the air. The wheat, in pass ing through the machine, is struck by a ocriaa of bars moving at immense speed in opposite directions. It i3 so instantaneously reduced into a slate ready for bolting that no injurious heat is caused, and the flour produced is of a much superior quality to that obtained by ordi nary grinding, while the cost of its production is considerably Ies3. This mill works with much less power—rare ly needs repairs—requires a much smaller num ber of men, and is in much less danger of fire. An Awkward Blunder.—The London Court Circular tells of a certain noble Lord, who hav ing just risen to speak in Parliament on the army bill, received the following dispatch from his wife: “I flea with Mr. to Dover straight. Pray for me.” In great agitation, he rushed from the House and made for home. When he got thero he found the Countess, and sternly handing her the dispatch demanded an explanation. She read it and burst into a fit of merriment, in which her husband joined, when be found that his wife had sent the dispatch to the office in this shape: “I tea with Mrs. in Dover street. Stay for me.” Poob Gaelotta.—The ex-Empress of Mexico, Carlotta, it is positively stated, cannot live through the coming autumn, as she now has periods of perfect prostration lasting 4S hours, and her death is expectedalmost any day. She is only 31 years of age, having been married to the unfortunate Archduke Maximilian when she was but 17 years of age. A. T. Stewabt-—The Commercial Advertiser says of Mr. A. T. Stewart, who has just recov ered from a dangerous illness, that he has been ailing ever since the death of Mr. Eellnm, the architect. He was his devoted friend, and his sudden taking off was a terrible blow to Mr. Stewart. He felt it as keenly as if death had stalked into his own houaohola « n a carried off one most dear to him. At the buna, -t Eellnm, he wept like a mother at the grave of her first born. Those who take Mr. Stewart for a cold, heartless, unfeeling man, do not know him. The Thbee G’s.—Grant, Greeley and Groos- bock, are the great talked-of for the Presidency. William S. Groesbeck—a man of great wealth— in the prime of life—of strong parts and un spotted integrity is put forth by the Ohioans as the coming man for the Presidency. They say he is the man to cleanse the Augean stables and break np all the rings of trading politi cians. Health op Savannah and Charleston.—Wo are glad to see that the health reports for Savon nah from 1st to 2lat August show five less deaths than in 1870, and four less than in I860. The city up to latest dates^was never more healthy. The Charleston papers make no report of yellow fever. Private letters to the 20tb, which would in all probability have mentioned the fact had yellow fever been there, make no allusion to it We presnmp, if thero are any cases there, they are merely sporodio. Cotton Markets.—Cotton was buoyant yes terday in Liverpool at an advance of an eighth. Middling was quoted at 9|. Sales 25,000 bales. In New Tork the market was strong at a simi lar advance with light sales. Pabis.—Paris reports still represent political affairs in a very critical condition, and more trouble imminent. The astounding fact is stated semi-officially that opium, prepared for smoking, was imported into the United States, daring the last fiscal year, to the value of $1,926,915. Daring the same year intoxicating liquors were sold to the value of §800,000,000. Gen. Grant has been interviewed at Long Branch. He says the New Tork Badicel quar rel is a more tempest in a tea-pot, and the Orange riota and Tammany frauds will carry the State for him. He don’t understand the Now Orleans muddle, and if the Coreans won’t treat % they must bewhipped till they are ready to stand sweetened drinks all round. Eight hundred and eighty bales of South American cotton were sold in New Tork last Friday. THE GEORGIA PRESS. “Wiregras3” benzine and Darwin’s pets seem to have “bluffed” that convivial luminary of the law, Judge O’Neal, of the Allapapa Circuit The Valdosta Times says “they say” down there he has resigned that office, and will soon move to Middle Geoargia. The boll worm has made its appearance in Thomas, Dougherty, Brooks and Decatur coun ties. The Valdosta Times tell3 this story: It Is Baid of one of our Vaidostians that a few days ago, while riding on the cars, the en gine commenced an unearthly blowing; he, thinking that something had “broke loose” ahead, precipitately stuck his cranium through glass and shutters, doing much damage not only to the sash and shutters bnt to his forehead, to the great amusement of other parties present. O that aching head! The Columbus Sun, of Wednesday, synopsizes the situation over there as follows: The Weather, Etc.—The city is very dusty. Days very warm in sunshine, rather pleasant in shady places. Nights tolerably cool, requiring cover during the late hours. Health generally good. Some cases of fever and congestive chills. Little cotton coming in. Bain badly wanted on crops. Trade inactive, except to railroad contractors. Money difficult to get Merchants laying in fall stocks. All who can get away are at the watering plaoes. We quote the following from the Enquirer of same date: Death op Mbs. 8. E. Wtt.ninb.—Our commu nity was startled yesterday by the announce ment of the death of Mrs. S. E. Wilkins, who died at 2 o’clock Tuesday morning, after a very few days, illness. The daughter of Charles P. Gordon, a distin guished lawyer of Eatonton, Ga.,where she was bora April 15, 1829, she was married December 10, 1851, to Colonel J. C. Wilkins, a wealthy planter and lawyer of Liberty county, who died February 22, 1800. Since that time she has lived in Columbus. During onr late war she was active and untiring in her labors and devo tion to our soldiers; and hundreds of them are now living who bless her for words and acts of kindness to them, when eick and wounded. Beautiful, amiable and highly accomplished, she was a favorite with all; and by her death, soeiety loses one of its brightest ornaments, and Columbns on9 of her best and noblest women. Her funeral took place yesterday afternoon from the Presbyterian Church, from whence her remains were followed to the grave by one of the largest processions overseen in the city. Columbus was on short rations of ice, Tues day, on account of railroad derangements near Savannah, cansed by the late storm. Two boat loads of Sonth Carolina loilists of the African persuasion crossed the river, Tues day, in order to register for the Savannah mu nicipal election, but some policemen caused them to change their minds. The storm, at Savannah, Tuesday, did little or no damage in the city, bnt in the neighbor hood was disastrous to rice and other crops. The News, of Wednesday, ha3 the following ad ditional details of damage from the Friday and Saturday storms: By the immense rise in the tide on Friday night the water wa3 backed np on Dr. Lawton’s dry culture land, causing a largo break in the dam. The water from the land side was utterly prevented from running ont. Considerable damage was . done to the property. The tide land owned by the Central Bailroad, on the river above the mouth of the canal, and in the vicinity of the water works, was overflowed by the water on the high tide backing up. The land was formerly owned by Messrs. Giles & Bradley, and is now used by the Central Bail- road to run their river extension over. There is a trunk on the river bank which blew out from tho immense pressure against it, thereby letting in a large quantity of water, and causing a con siderable break in tho river bank. Another Another break occurred in the bank of the adjoining place, known as Skelton’s place, the water running all over the land. In consequence of these breaks the tide in the river, which rose to a great height backed up the water on the lauds formerly kept dry and entirely prevented tho out flow, XATEB. Since the foregoing was in type we have received information that the Big Ogeechee bridge was entirely overflowed, the water in the river having risen to such a height as to cover the bridge, so that it is impossible for trains to pas3 over it. None will leave on the Atlantic and Gnlf Boad until to-night. Large quantities of rain fell last night after dark. At eleven o’clock tho rain and wind had almost entirely ceased. The News says: Steamers Put Back in the Storm.—The steamships Catherine Whiting and Tonawanda, bound to New Tork and Philadelphia, left this port on Saturday last for their respective ports of destination. On arriving at Tybee, both put to sea, but finding tho weather exceedingly stormy, they both returned on the same eve ning. They both put to sea again that night. The Catharine Whiting returned to Tybee Mon day, where she was still lying at anchor yester day. The Tonawanda did not return, but con tinued on her voyage. A married woman whose name is not given, attempted to commit snicide in Savannah, last Sunday, by-taking laudanum. Mr. William Brad, in a fit of mental abstrac tion, on last Saturday pnt §131 in greenbacks belonging to Mr. H. P. Brewer, of Effingham county, in his pocket, and rode off on Mr. B.’s finest male. Mr. Brewer thinks a dose of donble- barrel shot gun will cure such fits. We clip tho following items from the At lanta Sun, of yesterday: Yestebday, Isaac P. Harris, Treasurer of the State Boad nnder Foster Blodgett, and B. W. Wrenn, tho General Passenger and Ticket Agent under the same administration, and still holding that position nnder Gov. Brown, were arreoiCa — - - - — - Law Card.—Wo invite attention to tho pro fessional card of Charles N. West, Esq., of Sa vannah. Mr. West is a young lawyer of great promise and has already made his mark in the courts. All business entrusted to him will re ceive prompt and careful attention. that Mr, Harris admits that he has money inina hands belonging to the State, whiohhe is ready to pay over to any one properly authorized to receive it, and has been ready to do so ever sinoe tho lease, whenever he can, by so doing, have his bondsmen relieved. We are are also informed that Mr. Wrenn makes the same or a similar statement. Sad Affliction.—Wo saw a telegraphic dis patch yesterday from Col. Warren Aiken, of Cartersville, to CoL Prather, of this oity, in which he says that two of his children had died that morning with something like diptheria, and a third one was hopelessly ill. Paid into the Tbeaeuby.—We Ieam that Mr. O. P. McOalla, the General Book-keeper of tho State Boad, has paid over to the State Treasu rer several thousand dollars of restitution money which has lately come into his hands. Gov. Bullock.—Wo learn that he will return to this city on the 1st of September. We are glad of this. Ho is needed here now, and ought to have been here for the past three months. He could have been of great assistance to those employed in working np cases of State Boad de falcation. Jos. Alexander, charged with murdering a negro convict at Atlanta, last week, has been been committed to jail to stand his trial at the ECit terra of Fulton Superior Court. The Constitution, of yesterday, says:' Settled.—Jndge King, of the Georgia Bail- road, and President Waffiey. of the Central Kailroad, in connection with other railroad of ficials, on Tuesday, we learn, finally settled all the differences about the Union Passenger Depot, and this building will now be put in a comfortable condition. — *> The Athens Watchman says the drought in that section still continues. Crops and veget ables of every description are burning np, and poultry, butter and eggs getting scarce. Gov. Bullock has ordered an election for Sen ator on the 13th of September, in the district composed of the counties of Dooly, Wilcox, Pu laski and Dodge. The Hawkinsville Dispatch of yesterday says: The Mubdeb of Mb. Joiner, of Dooly—Some New Facts.—From a very reliable source we have obtained the following additional particu lars of the recent tragedy in our neighboring county of Dooly: It seems young Devereux was quite a self-willed character, as well as a great spendthrift, as is the case with too many of 1 our young men who have been raised in opulence and idleness. A short time ago he visited Ma- cod, and to obtain funds to gratify his whims, he forged a draft on his mother and step-father for one thousand dollars, which ho obtained frojn one of the city banks and squandered be- < fore returning home. Scon after returning home his parents received from the bankers in formation of the transaction. His mother made a hasty visit to Maoon, and had an interview with the parties who furnished the money. She promised to make good every dollar of the amount as soon as crops were gathered. This was satisfactory, andMrs. Joiner returned home and informed her husband of what she had promised. He replied that he would not pay the amount, and that no part of the crop should go toward the payment of the debt. Devereanx then borrowed, or bought, a pistol and killed Joiner as has been heretofore stated. Fore!am Notes. (prepared fob the telegraph and messenger) The Journal des Debats, one of the best ed ited Paris papers, gives the French the follow ing sensible advice: “The statesmen who governed hs one year ago and went to war with a light heart, are not alone to blame for pur misfortunes. To be sin cere we must acknowledge that they were sup ported by all classes of our population which, like the ministers themselves, were deceived by a blind confidence in our strength. We have often been amused by those stories of staff offi cers who were entrusted with missions on onr frontier and in the Bhenish fortresses, and how they first examined the different kinds of beer and the far-famed Johann is berger; neither most we forget how our traveling public will only cross the bridge of Kehl to gamble and dance in Baden. While legions of Germans traveling through our country seek information and in quire into our resources, a few French tourists will, almost with regret, hurry through Germany and abuse German hotels, beds and customs. We must make up our mind now not to believe that we are the first people in the world and have nothing to learn from other nations. Though onr vanity and self-love may be wounded, let us make an effort to conquer our prejudices. This is the most urgent reform our country needs, and without it the best administrative reforms and the most perfect educational laws will achieve nothing.” There are many petitions in favor of fr6e popular instruction by laymen in circulation. The Siecle publishes such a document from the municipal council of Cambrai, which the paper warmly recommends. The petition ascribing the French defeats to the lamentable state of popular education, the Siecle adds: “Our re generation will date from the day when a great agitation in favor of popular instruction will be organized in all parts of France.” The insurrection iu Algiers is still dragging on. There are 80,000 French troops there now, and the government contemplates increasing the number to 100,000 men. Most of the Paris churches which suffered from the last siege have already been repaired. The cemetery of the Fere la Chaise, where the the damage is much smaller than was at first anticipated, has almost assumed again its usual physiognomy. Only seven monuments are wholly destroyed, while tea others are slightly injured. Those erected to the memory of Mo- liere, Lafontaine, Scribe, Merrimee, Talley rand, Berenger, Heloise and Abelard have re mained intact. M. Bevert’s motion for the prolongation of Thiers’ powers will probably be passed by the Assembly, though counter motions from Gam- betta and the Duke do Broglie are anticipated. The first, of course, represents Eepublican principles, while the latter one is an Orleanist The trials of the Communists continue. There wa3 an effort mads to attribute all crimes nn der the Commune to the foreigners who had joined the Insurgents. This statement, how ever, is not sustained by the evidence. Yet all Polish refugees are held responsible for the part a small number of their countrymen took in the insurrection, and a resolution of the Ver sailles Government expels the Poles from French soiL The Polish Journal Czas, com menting on this policy, says that between France and Poland all bonds of fellowship are henceforth broken. Thi3 declaration is a most remarkable one, as the Foies have always looked to France for restoring the ancient kingdom of the Jagellones, and Napoleon tho First, who had made pledges to that purpose, is said to have considered their non-fnlfillment his great est mistake. Whits Austria ctossshor territory to Polish emigrants coming from Franco with out a passport, these unfortunate exiles enter the German Empire without being molested, and many of them have fonnd a new home in the Kingdoms of Prussia and Saxony. “It is a whimsical disposition of destiny,” tho Posen Gazette says, “that the Polish emigrants, who are always ardently devoted to Franco and in dulged in an intense hatred of Germany, should now be compelled to seek an asvlnm on Ger man territory from French persecution. The German liberal papers continue discuss ing Papal infallibility. The National Zeitung says: “The first thing necessary is to free civil life from the rule of the church, and the more obstinately the chnrch abuses her power, the farther the State will be obliged to go. The measures which Austria adopted in May, 1668, are well calculated to be imitated by Germany. The introdnetion of civil marriage, the free use of bnrial grounds, the liberation of the school from clerical influence, and the grant of part of the property owned by the church to such Cath olics as have separated from tho Episcopate— such are tho first steps which should be taken.” “More than this,” continues the Cologne Ga zette after citing the above, “it is not necessa ry for the German Government to do. The dangers involved in the dogma of Papal infalli bility may be deduced from its principles with unimpeachable logic, bnt the healthy sentiments of German Catholics will, in real life, prove to bo far stronger than the most forcible logic. As long as the State will firmly defend the relig ious liberty of tbe individual, there is no reason to fear that th9 decision of the Ecumenical Council will have any dangerous results in Ger many. Nor is there at present any ground for makine the matter an imperial question. The whole affair will pass by much more sweetly than the Jesuits desire.”* Civil marriage and the other liberties the Na tional Zeitnng advocates, are eDjoyed by Bhen ish Prussia where, dating from the times of Napoleon the First, French civil law is still in force. Von Doellinger, the Head of the Anti- Infallibilists, has been elected Sector of the Uni versity in Munich. On this occasisn, ont of seventy-eight professors entitled to a vote, six- iy-threo were present. Professors Friedrich, ^““P^Kiehl, Fettenrofer, Zittel and Cornelias, ffiorTort£l^*“^ biliBt9 ‘ were 01103611 considerable d!meSs“ men having left work by this time. Eaen them is reoeiving half a thaler, or about forty- one cents a day, from the Laborers’ Committee. In Moscow (Bus8ia,) conflagrations have lately increased in an alarming manner, and large stores, mannfactnring establishments, and prominent business places are generally seleoted by the incendiary. The government having ap pointed a special commission for bringing the criminals to justice, four boys from twelve to fourteen years of age have been arrested, who, either by witnesses or on their own confession, stand convicted of arson. The four youthful criminals, belonging to tho lowest class, state unanimously that by the persuasions and little presents of strangers they had been tempted to the deed. A mechanic and a soldier havingbeen pointed out by them, both were arrested. Pub lic opinion attributes these crimes to the social istic party which has numerous partisans in Moscow. Zorilla, tho new Spanish Premier, has intro duced his ministry to the Cortes by the follow ing programme : The Government pledges itself to uphold the constitution, and promises to pro pose soon a law for trial by jury. Public peace shall be preserved at all hazards. The ministry will endeavor to establish harmony between tho Church and the State, without, however, resign- ng the reforms passed by tho Cortes. A more satisfactory budget i3 promised, and all efforts will be made to livo on friendly terms with for eign powers, especially with Portugal and the republics of Spanish origin. The King’s Gov ernment will watch over tho inviolability of Spanish soil, and no sacrifice will bo too great to pnt down tho insurrection in Cuba ; and, finally, Zorilla pledges himself to suppress bribory, idleness and incapacity amongthe Gov ernment officials. The Minister President has already reduced'lheir salarietf’twenty per cent., and renounced his own compensation of 12,000 durons, equivalent to about §13,000 currency. Tho most prominent member of the Cabinet, after Zorilla, is Gen. Cordova, Ministerof "War, who bore anna against Napoleon the First. He is now a man of abont eighty years, but’fnll of energy and life. _ The Cortes has honored the memory of Curios Bubio, a distinguished journalist who recently died to great poverty, by granting an annuity to his widow. The Ultramontnnes, whose impla cable foo he was, resent this proof of national gratitude by bitter comments on tho dead. A clerical says: “Carlos Bubio is dead. Did he confess ? No. Then do not pray for him, for all Liberals, from the highest to the lowest without exception, will go to hell, if they did not confess before.” Jabno. by telegraph. ■Washington, August 24.—It is suspected Benforth was drugged, and an inquest -will be held. No member of the St. John’s crew is bus- pected of the crime. Wisconsin Democrats have nominated ex-Sen- ator Doolittle for Governor. Darden, who killed McCarthy, attempted to beat his own brains ont. Darden had a bad dream. It is said that Longfellow strained a tendon of his fore leg, and will be lame for life. It is stated that §20,000 changed hands on the quar ter stretch alone. Morrissey won §50,000. Babcock, the owner of Helmbold, won at least $60,000. The sonth side of the square in Hartford, Indiana, was burned to day. Loss, §50,000. One witness in the Buffenberger case, says that Mrs. B. had told her that Colburn come to see her twice, under the impression that she was Buffenberger’s daughter; that when Col burn found ont that she was Buffenberger’s wife, he slipped a card into her hand with words on it to the effect that he would not marry while she (Mrs. B.) was a married woman. On cross examination, witness said Mr. and Mrs. B. seemed to live very happily together and she never saw anything to disturb her confidence in Mrs. Buffenberger. In the Wisconsin Democratic platform the seventh resolution deprecates and denounces every outbreak of lawlessness and violence at the North and Sonth, and declares that the acts of Congress which authorize the employment of a standing army to garrison places where elections are to be held, and constitute a local police in the States, and which empowers offi cers of the Federal administration to interpose military foroe for the purpose of overawing a political convention are subversive of free gov ernment, and a perpetual menace to the pnblio liberty. San Domingo was tranquil at last advices. The financial situation has been relieved by the reoeipt of the proceeds of the United States Sau Domingo loan. The sugar and tobacco crops in Hay ti are large. A church in Bolano, Italy, was struck by lightiing, and thirty-two killed and injured. Gambetta’s bill proposes the dissolution of the National Assembly on the ground that its dis- cossUns have proved fruitless, and provides for the ecction of a Constituent Assembly. The bill piovides for the resignation of Thiers when the Constituent Assembly is elected. A special to the London Times says that the discussions upon the dissolution of the Assembly are ex citing, and a conflict is apprehended, and grave consequences are probable. Gambetta proposes to the French Bepublican Unioa a dissolution of the present assembly on the first of March 1872. Washington, August 24.—Domestic subscrip tions to the new loan up to noon to-day were §9,00),000.

Arrived out, Toriffa. Washington, August 24.—The following is the fifth resolution of the Wisconsin Demo crats : That as the late amendments to the Con stitntion have been declared by the properly constituted authority to be part of the funda mental law of the land, they are binding upon the people; that the Democratic party, now as in the past, know no higher law than the Con stitution ; that the time-honored principle of strict construction, applied by its framers and accepted by the wisest statesmen and jnrists of tho country, Bhonld be observed in all legisla tion by Congress relative to the Constitution end its amendments; that the Democratic party are opposed to the withdrawal of civil and po litical rights from any class of the people, and that we demand the removal of political dis qualification. Darden has delirium tremens, caused by be ing deprived of his accustomed stimulants, ag gravated by a concussion of the brain he re ceived in a fight with McCarthy. A semi-official statement regarding money in the “Golden Bole” discredits the idea of rob- berry. The money was in compound interest notes, none of which were presented to the Treasury. But ten of the fifty millions of the five per cent, loan allottod to the United States re mains. St. Louis, August 24 —Dispatches from Huntsville, Missouri, says 1200 ex-Oonfeder- ates met at tho Kavenook Fair Grounds. Gov. Beynolds, Gen. Shelby and others addressed them.

The Great Four Mile Race. Saratoga, August 24.—Amid almost breath- less silence, only broken by some beltiDg man proclaiming his readiness to lay §100 to §30 on Longfellow, the flag felL. At the first attempt to statt the horses, Helmbold took a lead of three lengths, but on going around the upper turn, Longfellow closed the gap, and before reaching the quarter polo, had taken the lead from Helmbold. He led a length along the back-stretch, and, at the half mite pole, was a length and a half ahead, which space he kept open along the lower side to the home-stretch turn. A burst of applause greeted him as he went under the string on the first mile, a clear length and a half ahead, in 1:55. Both horses were on a strong pull at the turn. Helmbold drew a little closer; and-fay at Longfellow's quarters throughout the next quarter of a mile, and as the half mile poio wa3 passed, he reached his opponent’s saddle-girth. u On the lower stretch, Longfellow again drew slightly away, and as they went under the string on the second mile, (run in 2:50,) he was exact ly a length ahead. He retained this advantage to the quarter, but at the half mile, Helmbold was again at his saddle girth, hanging to him like a shadow and would not bo shaken off. The murmnrred applause of the vast assem blage burst into a thunderous shout of irrepres sible exultation, as Helmbold closed and col- lard Longfellow in coming up the home-stretch, passed him and went nnder the string on the third mile a clear length ahead, in 5:15—tho great Kentucky crack already begining to hoist unmistakable signals of distress. The backers of Helmbold became frantically jubilant at this unexpected change in the aspect of affairs, and peals of exultant applause rent the air. At the upper turn Helmbold was two lengths ahead, and ho increased to three lengths at the quarter.

From Baker Count; Editors Telegraph and Messing crop3 of Baker county are comparatively a fail ure ; they will barely average five bushels to the acre. One of onr largest planters and—, bnt I forbear; another word, and I might sub ject myself to the charge Sf being too personal— has one field of 100 acres in com which will not yield exceeding one hundred pecks. The land is good, and of course not chargeable withsnch results. 'What then? Adverse seasons partly, bat chiefly the want of proper cultivation. In some portions of onr county the “hue and cry’ against sweeps and the “Dickson system” if loud and ominous. I heard two noteable plan ters swear lately that they had enough of neote ric theories and experiments in agriculture, pop ularly called “Scientific,” and abandoning the “new departure” in agriculture, wonld return at once to the mode and manner of making corn so successfully pursued by their fathers, and heretofore by themselves; that formerly they never failed to produce an abundance of sup plies and to spare, but since the introduction and general use of the “infernal sweep,” they had been under a dead strain—some years had to bny provisions. I am not prepared to say that these allegations have no foundation in trne science to rest upon. In 18671 used the round and turn shovel each time and plowed my corn; and although the weather was hot and dry when I gave it the last plowing, and the Sweepites prophesied the destruction of my crop, I made that year over twenty bushels of corn to the acre. A neighbor, and who used the sweep each time he plowed his corn, barely made ten bHshels to the acre. In this connec tion I may add that, since 1867,1 have used the sweep for the last plowing of my com, bnt re sults have no year proved fully satisfactory— ears smaller, grain fighter. In an interview had recently with an expert enced planter of Dougherty county, I was in- formed that he had some of his beat land3 in corn—there are no more produotive lands in Southwestern Georgia; that he had propitious seasons, etc.; still, he estimated the yield of com not exceeding 12 or 15 bushels to the acre. He used the sweeps altogetherincultivating his com crop. It may be considered presumption in me, but I will venture to say, that the land in qnestion, with seasonable rains and cultiva ted heroically, that is with round and turn shovel, wonld have yielded 20 to 25 bushels per acre. As to onr cotton crops, they are generally speaking far below tbe annual average. In some localities—upon the stiff lands in Dougherty county—there are a few fine crops of cotton; in other localities in Dougherty, and generally in Baker county, the cotton crop is poor. There are some fields in cotton where it will lake— well, I wouldn’t like to say how many acres, to make a bale of 500 pounds. The seventeen days of intensely hot and dry weather in July pro duced serious results on all early and manured cottons, causing the plant to fire and drop its fruit at a fearful rate. Half grown bolls, burnt np on the stalk, and such as escaped this fiery ordeal are opening prematurely. There is no necessity for an appeal to the old Philosopher of the Tribune fora “ealoulatioD,” based upon what he knows abont cotton cul ture, as to losses to- the planter in this respect. At this ‘‘stand-point,” could speculators make their observations of present cotton prospects, they would see little to encourage them in mak ing contracts for future deliveries at low figures. _ P. From Houston County. Neab Byron, Houston County, Ga.,) August 23, 1871. j Editors Telegraph and Messenger: Much has been said and a great deal written about the prospects of the growing cotton crop. It is a matter of surprise to see and hear the stu- pid ignorance manifested upon the snbjeot. Any person that knows anything at all abont the nature of the cotton plant, (if they have paid any attention to the weather this season,) knows well that it is impossible for any more than half a crop to be made in this county. In the months of May and June and part of July deluges of rain, cloudy, cold weather in the first part of the season, and now, for the last ten days, a withering east wind, and the plant, now at this time, literally parched with drontb, cool nights, and all go to prove that there cannot possibly be more than half a crop of cotton made thi3 year. It is disgusting to hear men talking about cotton and about the weather being favorable, when many of them could rot tell a patch of okra from a patch of cotton. This class of men do not know that cotton is a sun plant, and that it was in the shade and drenched with rain dur ing the months of May and June and a part of July, and now, in many localities, the plant has been parched with drouth for the last thirty days. Again, this northeast wind now blowing, and has been for the last the days, is poisonous to vegetation, as all experienced planters will testify. There is not a negro in Houston county, en gaged in the cultivation of cotton, that has sense enough to count two, but what knows more about the nature of the cotton plant than the chief of the Agricultural Bureau at 'Wash ington. His reporters scattered over the coun try, nine of them ont of ten, would not know a good crop from a poor one. And yet, notwith standing their stupid ignoranoe, this loathsome vermin that swarms over the country has much to do in regulating the price of our great staple. A planter from Brooks county, Georgia, was in this neighborhood a few days ago, and savs he saw on his way up thousands of acres that will not make a tenth per acre. The last ten days have settled the question in this section of the country—there cannot possibly bo more than half a crop nytde in Honston, Crawford and Taylor. Lst every planter that can hold his cotton hold on to R Indeed like grim death, and when he has to sell, only sell enough to answer his present wants, and keep the balance under a shelter at home. It is time that all the planters should pull together—that they should use all the means they have at their command to pre vent these soulless, heartless speculators from controling tho price of onr cotton.

It has been given ont in some quarters in Georgia that the triumph of the Democraoy in this State at the late election meant a repudia tion of the doctrines enunciated by the Demo crats of the North with reference to what commonly known as the new departure; and inf erentially, that Kentucky would not fight nnder the Democratic flag next year if it bore that de vice. If there be any who have fonnd conso lation in snch expectation, we beg to call their attention to the following from the Louisville Ledger, the organ of the “Bourbons” of that State. Saystjje Ledger: The word is sent abroad every day that the “Bourbons” of Kentncky mean to split the next National Convention if they cannot vote down the new departure. There is not one word of trnth in it. Every one of onr candidates and speakers, while refusing to abandon the position endorsed by the Democratic millions in 1863, declared his intention to vote for tho nominees of the National Convention, departure or no de parture. That is the sentiment of Kentucky that is the position endorsed by the unprece dented vote of the August election. Letter from Virginia. Amherst Court-house, Va., August 21,1871. Editors Telegraph and Messenger : I was re freshed the other day at the reception of a copy of the “Daily Telegraph,” and since that time it has been coming regular to the great delight of myself and family. From the wrapper I judge it is sent by the Editors, and in return (although it be but a poor return) I write a few lines from this mountain region. Amherst Court-house is a beautiful and pic turesque little village situated on the Orange, Alexandria and Manassas Bailroad, about twelve miles from Lynchburg. It is nearly surrounded by lofty mountains; on its western side by one of the most beautiful sections of the Blue Bidge. One of the mountains is called the “Amherst giant” and it is an appropriate name. The giant’s head (a little affair abont as big as Stone Mountain) rests a3 if lying on a huge pillow, the forehead, eyes, nose, mouth, and chin being distinctly visible. Then comes the neck, shoul ders, breast and body, in almost perfect condi tion, while the legs bestride tho Bidge “liko a colossus,” one of them dangling carelessly in the direction of the fails of the St. James Biver, and the other giving a contemptuous kick at Lynch burg. This giant is worth seeing, and so are the other mountains, “High Top,” “Mount Pleasant,” “Tobacco Bow,” etc. Nearly all tho springs in this section are crowded, particularly Greenbrier, White, Bockbridge Alum, and Al leghany. Some of the springs are closed this season, among them Congress, one of the best plaees for invalids in the State, and Bedford Alumn, said by some physicians to be superior to the Bockbridge Alum. The crops in this State are looking better than I have seen anywhere on my route. Tbe com began to suffer, a few days ago for want of rain, bnt a day of genial showers has placed that beyond the contingency of failure; while the tobacco is very promising! There are a great many revivals of religion going on in this section, now confined principally to the Meth odists, while Baptist associations are being everywhere held. Eev. Dr. Bosser, of the Methodist Church, is now preaching here, and is one of tho most distinguished ministers of the Virginia Conference. He proposesmaking a tour through the South soon, Macon being one of hi3 objective points. Eev. Dr. Barrows, of Kichmond, Va , has consented to dedicate the new B-tptist Church in Eufaula, the first Sabbath in November. More afteiwards, W. Tbe Agricultural College—JEhcoii in tbe Ring.

Bloody Bow Between Federal Soldiers and Negroes.—From the Wilmington Journal, of Wednesday, we clip the following: We learn from passengers on the Wilming ton, Columbia and Augusta Bailroad that a bloody riot occurred at Marion, Sonth Carolina, between the Federal soldiers and negroes on Monday evening about eight o’olock. There had. been for some time ill feeling between the negroeB and the soldiers of the garrison, which terminated Monday night in a regu lar battle. Fire arms were used on both sides. Six or seven negroes and one soldier were wounded, some of the negroes very badly, irobably fatally. The white citizens of Marion ie!d aloof, and the riot wa3 confined entirely to the soldiers and negroes. The Sweep.—Oar correspondent “P.,” in Baker, is down upon the. so-called “Dickson sweep” and shallow culture. The sweep is no “new departure,” as ho calls it, but a very old plough indeed. Doubtless it has its uses. Where land is very porous and level the sweep per haps may be well used in laying by crops; but upon soil of close texture which easily impacts we doubt whether they are of any use. Upon hill sides and rolling lands cultivation with the sweep exposes the lands to washing, and in this particular, we doubt not, has-been exceedingly injurious to lands in Georgia. We can’t con ceive of a proper cultivation of any crop which does not maintain the soil in a light and friable oondition, at least up to the point of fruitage. Messes. Ketchum <fc Habtbedge.—No fitm or banking honse in Georgia enjoys a better de served or more widely extended reputation than the subject of this notice.

Tbe Whole matter in a Kuf-shei] We find the following in the Chronicle J Sentinel, of Wednesday.

Changes of Food in the Stomach.—When ti- food has been masticated and converted into semi-liquid paste, it is passed into the stem: which is simply an enlargement, midway, ot 2 alimentary canal. It is the theatre of the eece and most important stage of the digestive procs ! The food is here exposed to the action of the gt 5 trie jnice. This is secreted by tbe mucous M > brane or internal lining of the stomach, wind - fall of minute pores communicating with mi: 1 scopic tubes of bags closely reticulated with nert ; and capillary blood-vessels. The function of tt I apparatus is tho production of cells, which are £ charged in innumerable myriads into the catftr: the stomach. Arrived here they buret and pe forth their liquid burden. This is the gastric je: which physically is a limpid and colorless thi Chemically, it is powerfully solvent, and of reaction. Its acidity is mainly owing to the ence of muriatio or chlorohydric acid.
