MACON, AUGUST 20 1871.
News Items.
CASsnJiLnw.—A Jamaica correspondent of
the Sun tells of a negro murder of a child five
years old, in which the murderer Busked the
blood of his little victim, and, indeed, seems to
have.kiUed him for that purpose.
Csops in Alabama.—The Monroe Common
wealth reports from the prairie belt of Alabama
that com will not average above eight bushels
to the aore, and cotton will not prodace more
than half of last year’s yield. The Common
wealth says in respect to Perry county that the
crops are next to a complete failure. Cotton is
smaller and more unpromising thsn it ba3 ever
been since the war.
Pbogbame foe Next Tebm.—Senator Morion
is now on “a tour of expatiation" for Grant in
the Wost In hi3 speech at St. Louis he laid
down the programme for the next four years, no
general amnesty, tariff and civil service reform,
redaction of taxes and enforcement of the Ku-
Kluxlaw.
The Hay Teade.—Ex-Gov. Brown 6tated in a
speech before the State Agricultural Convention
at Borne that 33,000 bales of hay been import
ed from the West over the Western and Atlan
tic Knilroad, alone, within the last six months.
Chops rn Flobida.—The Floridian says gene
rally the crop3 of all kinds in Florida will prove
good. Cotton, though in somo sections retarded
by rain, a3 yet baa not suffered except in a sin
gle locality from the caterpiller. Picking has
already commenced, and it is now so late that
in any event two-thirds is safe. Com has been
planted more extensively, and a fair crop is
promised. Too much rain will shorten it in the
lower counties, but the increased area will make
up for this loss. Sweet potatoes, peas and
smaller crops are doing welL Cane is well ad
vanced and promises to bo extra, and the plant
ing has been more extensive than ever before.
Oranges are all right, and in the lower counties
the tropical fruits are in excellent condition.
Grapes are everywhere good. Peaches now grow
well, are excellent in quality and large in quan-
tity. On the whole, we think that when our
planters balance their books for 1871 the figures
will show better than in any year since the war.
Koad Steamee.—The Troy Messenger says:
Wo learn from Jndgs Yelverton that the citizens
of Elba have raised the necessary stock to pur
chase and put into operation one of Thomp
son’s celebrated road steamers, to ran from
Troy to the Four Milo Landing, near Geneva,
whero it will connect with river steamers to
Pensacola and New Orleans.
Quick.—The telegrams report that the City
of Bristol, which arrived yesterday in New
York, mado her trip in eight days and thirteen
hours.
Fiees.—Tho morning dispatches yesterday
reported four large fires with an aggregate loss
of over $8,000,000.
New Cotton.—The Montgomery Advertiser
says four bales of cotton of the new crop were
brought in yesterday, and sold to tho first of
ferers at nominal prices.
Tlie Senatorial Election.
A Monroe county correspondent suggests
George W. Adams as a candidate for tho Sena
torial vacancy in this district. It is qnite need
less to say that Mr. Adams is a gentleman of in
telligence, energy, sagacity, discretion and in
tegrity. Wo ore quite certain be would share
in, or tolerate, no kind of corruption or dis
honesty. Bat it seems to ns, in order that an
agreement may be arrived at, there should bo a
convention of tho Democrats of the district—
either at Forsyth or any other point which may
be preferred, and it ought to meet soon. The
election being on the 13th of September, there
are only about twenty days to prepare for It;
and the convention should be held as early as
Saturday, the 2nd day of September.
Savannah Still Stands.
At the great storm in Savannah last Friday
and Saturday, the unprecedented rain fall of
fourteen incites and eight-tenths was shown by
the rain-guage. This is such a waterfall as is
not seen in a life time, and no wonder some
damage was done. Bat Savannah, though wet
and dripping, still stands, and in evidence of it
wo point to onr cards of leading houses in the
Forest City, all ready for business from the in
terior. There are none of higher character
than Messrs. W. H. Stark k Co., Jno. W. Ander
son's Sons, Duncan & Johnston, F. W. Sims &
Co., Tison & Gordon, L. J. Guilmariin k Co.,
and Colquitt k Boggs.
Frightened to Deaths *
Since the Westfield Boiler Explosion onr
New York Brithring seem to have been indus
triously working themselves into a state of
alarm which, at last acoonnts, was verging into
phrenzy, and is certainly unhappy and dan
gerous. Every ferry-boat has become * l a mad
dog.” People who must cross the river, crowd
in terror to both extremities of the craft, till
they get to fighting among themselves for the
post most remote from danger. Every steam
boiler has suddenly become “rotten and honey
combed,” and a hiss from the scape valve makes
a crowd jump like the report of a Paixhangun.
Every man who can write a letter of alarm to a
newspaper seems to be doing it now, after this
sort:
Editors of the Daily Frighiener.—To my
certain knowledge the boilers in the old ferry
boat Blowemup were twenty-six years old last
April, and have never been repaired. When
tho pnblio learns that these boilers, bad as
they are, are much the be3t on that line, people
can see what they have to expect from the
heartless and bloodthirsty corporation which
controls that ferry. Look out for a still more
murderous Explosion.
Editors of Daily Horror.—I am this day noti
fied by probably the most skilled engineer in the
United States Navy that not one steam boiler of
the thousand in daily nse in and around this city
can be trusted for a day. Think of the hun
dreds of steamboilers under onr pavements, as
well as on the death dealing common carriers
by water and land aronnd New York, and judge
what i3 to be the fate of onr unhappy people.
Walking or riding we stand alike on the verge
of a doom too horrible to think of.
Sodden Death.
This caps the climax!—This destroys all hope
and sinks the people down into .the imbecility
ot despair. The gronad beneath them is honey
combed with young volcanoes all waiting to
“blow up” in the most unexpected and distress
ing manner possible. “Few people,” says tho
Commercial Advertiser, “know what constant
danger they are in.” Besides the thonsands of
steamboilers under the streets nsed to drive ma
chinery, every store and warehouse have their
steamboilers for heating and driving the dum
mies. Every hotel has its steam-heating and
hoisting apparatus, all under the feet of street
pedestrians, andasif that were notenough, there
oris the magazines of fire-works, gun-powder gun
cotton, nitroglycerine and the thousand and one
explosive chemicals, to say nothing of naptha,
kerosene, camphene, alcohol, spirits turpentine,
benzine and all the zines. Death larks aronnd,
above and below ns, like a coiled rattlesnake.
The wonder is (one would think) that they live a
moment, and the probabilities are that, at the
next, these nnmerons explosives may go off all
together, and their fnrions bnt antagonistic
forces shoot the remains of tho wretched vic
tims back and forth like the fiery serpent of the
pyrotochnio.
We beg to suggest to the Daily Horror, that
something is due to the nerves of tho people.
It was terrible that so many people shonld bs
crashed and scalded to death by the Westfield,
bnt it will be no better if a3 many more fall
victims to an epidemic fright.
THE GEORGIA PRESS.
Attempt to Assassinate a U'oinnn at
Americas.
Amebtccs, August 18, 1871.
Editors Telegraph and Messenger: An at
tempt was made hero last night about 11 o’clock
to assassinate a Miss Gntts, of this place, by
some one as yet unknown. Tho weapon nsed
was a pistol. The assassin fired three shots
through an open window, two of which took
effect in the back. One or two parties are sus
pected of having committed this diabolical deed,
but as yet no arrests have been made. The town
is quiet and dusty. D. D. E.
Dnr Weatheb in Nobthebn Geoeoia.—
Mr. J. II. Estill, proprietor of tho Savannah
News,and Mr. J. O. Harris,associate editor of tho
same paper, were in onr office on their return
from the up-country to tho seaboard yesterday.
Mr. Estill informed ns that in Borne, when be
left, they had had no rain for nine weeks. Tho
country was parched np—the roads a bed of
impalpable red powder, and the air full of it
almost to suffocation. The condition is bnt
very little better from a point twenty miles
east of Atlanta to Borne and beyond. Crops,
of course, are cut off. v
The ultimatum of A. H. Stephens, of Geor
gia, (says the New York Herald, of Tuesday,)
on the “new departure” is simply this, that if
the National Democratic party in their platform
of 1872 rapports this new departure in tho ac
ceptance of what he calls tho fraudulent Four
teenth and Fifteenth Amendments,he will him
self take a “new departure” in the search of a
new party. Very good. The more the merrier.
We shall probably have three or four parties in
the Hold in 1872, which will make things lively,
though not very doubtful, bnt we shall have,
most likely, a regular old-fashioned scrub race
in 1876, “with all the modern improvements,”
which will mako things very lively and tho re-
sult exceedingly donbtfnL
.Religions revivals aro now progressing in the
second Baptist church at Augusta and the Meth
odist church at Elberfon—the latter of which,
the Gazette says, was “badly needed in onr
community.”
A Bainbridge student at Oxford college who
wore his hair too long, was Ku-klnxed one night
last week as he was returning from interviewing
the “light of his eyes,” and brutally sheared,
without tho least regard to the prevailing mode
of hair cutting.
Henry Kimbrough, of Talbotton, while play
ing base-ball last Saturday, fell and broke his
arm. The Standard says it was “adjusted,”
however, and he is doing well.
Mr. John McCoy, an old and much esteemed
citizen of Talbot county, died last Tuesday,
aged G5 years.
Of crops in Talbot connty the Standard says:
The Ceops, since the rains, have manifested
some improvement. We have had an excellent
time for saving fodder, which our planters have
made good use of. Plenty of com will be mode.
The cotton prospect doeB not indicate so large a
crop a3 the past year. There will be a falling off
of a third to a half. The boll worm has made its
appearance in this connty.
Tho Early Connty News says that many of
the finest Spring Creek farms in that connty aro
now “the picture of decay.”
Under the head, “A Just Bebnke,” the Gath-
bert Appeal shows the levelness of its head. It
says:
A Home letter writter relates that on tho
night of the 10th the members of the Agricul
tural Convention were serenaded at the various
hotels. Gen. P. M. B. Young, Congressman
from the 7th District, and tho irrepressible Col.
Styles, of the Albany News, were stopping at
the Choice House, and made speeches. Col.
S. appeared first, and xjent to sponting about
the “new departure." and prosecuting that
foolish war between Democrats, which we fear
will be the cause of the party’s defeat in the
next campaign.
Gen. Yonng, then being called for, remarked
that he would “not detain the crowd by a polit
ical speech. This was simply a meeting of the
prominent agriculturalists of Georgia, and farm
ing and politics shonld not be blended on this
occasion. He would be heard from the proper
time and places daring the approaching cam
paign.”
Whether so intended or not, it was a keen re
buke to the many imprudent politicians who,
instead of keeping their gnns pointed towards
tho Badical lines, are sponting and gassing
abont “departures,” and thus firing round after
ronnd into the very ranks of the party they
.claim to love so well. We have had enough of
this useless bombast and child’s play. For the
country’s sake let this wild goose chaBing within
onr own lines be stopped; and let every muzzle
point directly towards Ibe already weak and di
vided lines of .Radicalism.
A Caiifobnia cock has two legs growing on
of its back. They do not differ in formation
from the under ones, and, unlike extra limbs,
aro nnder the command of the owner, and may
be used by him. When he becomes tired stand
ing in his natural position, he gives a flap-flap
and walks off npsido down. He sometimes tarns
a number of summersaults in succession out of
pure love for it. After taking a drink he im
mediately turns over to as to swallow it more
readily. He has proved a terrible fighter,
looking like a revolving wheel as he kicks in all
directions.
Ten Fence Feb Found.—Under date of
August 16th, “ Willoughby ” writes as follows
to the Augasla Constitutionalist:
Cotton is in something of a flurry. Some of
rim “bears” estimate the next crop as high as
3,750,000 bales, and there is no doubt a large
stock of cotton goods on hand, for which tho
demand is for the moment small. But no mat-
R or °P even half a million bales less
than last year, Europe will pay ten pence per
pound for her share of it, and planters may
govern themselves accordingly. We are down
to export figures, and onr Btock is being rapidly
shipped to Liverpool.
Daring the storm of Friday and Saturday, at
Savannah, fourteen and eight-tenths inches of
water fell.
N. M. Kirby, of Lowndes connty, charged
with passing counterfeit money, and J. S. Nor
man, of Oolqnitt county, charged with.raising
or altering one dollar bills to tens, and tens
to twenties, were -held to bail in $5,000 at
Savannah, on Satnrdny, to appear at the next
term of the United States District Court.
The schooner Shiloh, which left Kennebec
Biver, Maine, on the 20 th of July, with a cargo
of ice, reached Savannah Saturday, the 19th

the voyage,
Cnthbnrt, with only three dissenting votes,
agreed, last Saturday, to subscribe $5,000 to
the High School.

The Americas Republican, of Friday, says:
No Mail Route Agents will aooompany the
trains of the S. W. Road, hereafter, on Sundays,
consequently no mails will be distributed along
the route. Letters for and above Haoon v/iU
be sent off and received as heretofore.
The Columbus Son hears that two more cot
ton factories are soon to be established in that
city.
Bays the Columbus Son, of Sunday:
GoodNkwbfboh the Nobth & Sooth Rail-
boad.—In company with President McDougald,
Secretary Chipley, Chief Engineer Winn and
CoL Lane, we made a flying trip yesterday to
the work of the North A South Railroad. We
passed the camp of the various contractors, bnt
have forgotten all their names. We can only
assure our readers that the contractors and their
force* are active, and working with a vim. Jeff,
lane and Haynes are working the first section,
while Towles k Co., Hazelhurst k Co., Vemoy
k Co., Darden k Hammond occupy respective
sections on the line, reaching to the tenth sec
tion. The bridging, trestling and track laying
has been let to Wilkins & Bros , well known
bridge contractors, who with their skilled and
well organized force, will shortly arrive. Be
fore the first day of Jannary the road will be in
such condition that trains will ran to Pine
Mountain.
Jas. P. Bidgelee, the Rome printer who was
published by the Printer’s Union, of that place,
has sued each and every member thereof for
slander, laying his damages at $5,000.
The Chronicle k Sentinel, of Sunday, quotes
a rumor from the Columbia Phenixto the effect
that the Pennsylvania Central railway is making
extensive’purchases of Charlotte, Columbia-and
Augusta railway stock, and adds:
The same reports have been circulated in this
city, and it is believed that the Pennsylvania
Central has purchased a great deal of the stock
here in Augusta daring the past few weeks. One
report states that the Central has managed to
secure here and elsewhere eight thousand shares
of the stock.
The Columbus San, of Sunday, says there
was a destructive fire at Union Springs, Ala.,
tho day before, whioh bnrned four stores and
caused a loss of $20,000, over and above insn-
A man named Jas. Nelson was picked np near
Haywood’s ice house at Savannah, Saturday
night, in an insensible condition, and scarcely
recognizable from a terrible beating he had re
ceived in a neighboring bar-room.
Richard Lazenby and Radford Perkins, of
McDnffie connty, were arrested and carried to
Angosta, last Saturday, on a warrant issued by
Jadge Gilson, of that circuit, charged with cut
ting a negro named Gibbs, on the 13th of last
May. L
The Waynesboro Expositor, of Friday, says
A Sad Accident—Mxbteeious.—While Mr.
Thomas Prescott and Mr. James Tennyson were
together hunting a “destructive boar,” (which
had long been a terror in its section), a gun
upon the shoulder of the former was accidentally
discharged, the entire load, seven buck-shot,
lodging in the breast of the latter. A coroner’s
jury was summoned, whioh, after investigation,
rendered a verdict in accordance with the above
facts.
On Saturday last a young gentleman of this
town, while dnok hunting, found a negro babe
in the pond—evidently thrown there to drown.
He ofdered a negro boy, who accompanied him,
to take care of the ‘abandoned’ until his return,
which the boy failed to do—and upon his return
to the spot the child had disappeared. One ne
gro was lodged in jail on Sunday, bnt was set
at liberty on Monday, no one having appeared
to make or sustain a charge against him. At
the present time the affair is veiled in mystery—
the which, however, wo hope will come fully to
light inafewdays, and the murderersbe brought
to justice.
We also learn that Mr. George Broadfield,
who has been in the employ of Moses P. Green,
of Bnrke connty, was fonnd dead in the peach
orchard at the place of his employer on last
Friday. Mr. Broadfield has been complaining:
for some time, had disapeared on Thursday, one
was fonnd on Friday as above described.
Highway Eobbxby.—Mr. Stephen Melton, a
well known citizen of Macon, was approached
on Poplar street, between Second and Third,
about 10 o’clock on Friday night last, by an illy
clad woman, as he thought, who engaged him
in conversation for a moment, but long enough,
it appears, for her confederates to walk np and
seize Mr. Melton. The three daring villians
then proceeded to rob him of abont $120. They
discussed the question as to whether they would
take his watch, bnt determined quickly not to
do so. The three then hastily left, and in their
flight dropped tho pocket-book containing tho
money—leaving about $20 in it which they
probably did not get hold of in the dark. Tho
affair occurred almost in the heart' of the city,
and for boldness equals anything of tho kind
that ever transpired here. It is almost incred
iblo.
An Oysteb’s Age.—It is a well known fact
that an oystennan can tell the age of bivalves
to a nicety. This is not done, however, by
looking them in the month, bnt simply by count
ing the successive layers or plates overlapping
each other of which an oyster shell is composed,
These aro technically termed “shoots,” and each
of them marks a year’s growth. Up to the
time of the maturity of the oyster, these
shoots aro regular and successive, bnt after that
time they become irregular, and are piled one
over the other, so that the shell becomes more
and more thickened and bulky. Judging from
the size and thickness which some shells attain,
this mollnskis capable of attaining a patriarch
al longevity, and an oyster with fifty or even
three-score years upon it back may by chance be
met with. They are in perfection when from
five to seven years old, and shonld bo allowed
to grow unmolested that length of time.
Teoup Hill Debating Society.—A number
of yonng gentlemen residing in the Southern
portion of the city, have recently organized
debating society, and hold their meetings every
Wednesday night in Troup Hill Baptist Mission
Sohool Chapel. The officers of the society are:
J. D. Sullivan, President; Robt. Reynolds, Se
cretary, and T. B. Sullivan, Treasurer. There
was a foil attendance of the members of the So
ciety on Wednesday night last, and several of
the yonng speakers acquitted themselves credit
ably. It is in such societies as this that the
genins of oratory in the yonng finds scope for
development, and it is here„that the mind of
youth first begins to reason and reflect inde
pendently. We hope the yonng men will pre
serve their organization and prosecute with zeal
the objeots and aims of the Society.
Col ton Movements for tlse Week.
New Yoek, August 20.—The cotton move
ment is small in receipts but large in exports.'
Receipts at all the ports 7,630 bales, against
9,454 last week, 10,472 the previous week and
10,900 three weeks since'. The total receipts
since September are 3,995,054 bales, against
2,894,223 the corresponding period of the pre
vious year, sho wing an increaseof1,100,831bales.
Exports from all the ports 17,647 bales, against
5,762 the same week last year. Total exports
for the expired portion of the cotton year are
3,136,G07 bales, against 2,1G4,330 the same time
last year. Stock at all the ports 114,421 bales,
against 86,762 for the same date last year.

against 35,000 last year. Indian cotton afloat
for Europe 686,390 bales, against 515,922 last
year.
The Pmhtebb’ Festival.—A severe headache
prevented ns from attending the printers’ fes
rival on Thursday night at tho Armory Building,
and hence we are not prepared to speak of it as
an eye-witness, bnt if the half we hear of it be
true, it was one of the most pleasant and en
joyable reunions the disciples of Fanst in Macon
ever participated in. It was understood to bo
a watermelon party, bnt it proved to be a splen
did banquet, attended by a host of pretty girls
and many invited guests, who joined the prin
ters in a merry dance during the evening and
contributed much hilarity and fnn for the oc
casion. We much regret that it was hardly pos
sible for ns to attend, much less than to enjoy
ourself.
Stbeet Raxlboad.—We understand that the
work on this important city improvement will
oommence next week. The cross-rie3 are now
being sawed out, and will be famished as fast
as the road is graded. The whole line, so far as
is at present proposed, will be oompleted, it is
thought, by the 20th of October. Tho portion
of the line which will be completed first,- will
ran to the Fair Grounds, and we are glad to
know that raoh is the fact, for it will bo a great
convenience to hundreds of citizens vjho would
like to visit the grounds every .afternoon if they
hod an easy and cheap conveyance. Fash the
work, gentlemen, with all possible speed.
Sudden Death.—A well known and popular
yonng man of this city was. taken with a con
gestive chill on Thursday night last, and died
abont 2 p. H. yesterday. He was to have been
married on next Thursday night. His sister is
lying dangerously ill in a neighboring State,
and we are specially requested not to call his
name, for fear the terrible shock might prove
fatal to her.
Up to yesterday the contract for opening
Second street to an intersection with the Hous
ton road had not been awarded. Five or six has
been made upon the work, and we presume the
Ordinary will be able to make a selection, from
the lot
The weather at the South during the week
has generally been favorable, and much needed
rains have come at last.
New Yobk, August 20.—The domestio pro
duce markets were more active in the leading
staples, although prices have been very much
unsettled and the fluctuations frequent. At the
produce exchange there has been an advance in
flours from spring wheat, while winter wheat
flour has simply been firm. In wheat there has
been considerable movement for export, and
some large sales have been made to arrive. The
market has been generally firm, although there
were a few intervals of weakness. A large por
tion of the export purchases were for the con
tinent of Europe. Other grains flnetnated bnt
little, and the movements were not important.
The hank statement is very unfavorable, and an
analysis of the figures show that the banks have
made a net loss of $4,238,427, and that they now
hold only $11,031,050 above the 25 por cent,
required by law.
New Yoek, August 20.—Partial investigation
was made yesterday by Coroner Young and Dr.
Marsh into the case of Mary Kelly, who died,
it is supposed, of Asiatic cholera. From the
evidence the coroner became satisfied that it
was not a case of cholera at all, as the woman
had been drinking to excess, and had also eaten
a quantity of unripe peaches and a greater part
of a water melon. The symptoms described by
the attending physician were not at all like
those of cholera. The Board of Health deny
that any person has died of cholera in this city
this season.
Savannah, August 20.—On Friday and Satur
day we had a terrific gale. Onr railroads are
washed up, and the mailshave to be brought by
polo cars. We have communication south of
No. 7, Atlantic and Gulf - Railroad, and on the
Central Railroad there are two washes—one
near the city and the other six miles out. No
regular trains have arrived since Friday night.
Many buildings have been damaged, and great
damage has been done to the rice crop.
Washington, August 20.—The Attorney Gen
eral has received nnmerons requests for his
opinion as to the effect of the Fourteenth Consti
tutional Amendment upon the eligibility of per
sons to office. Not being able to reply officially
to these requests he has issued a circular stating
that it is not hi3 duty to give an official opinion
except at the request of the President or heads
of departments. He appends a copy of the
Fourteenth Amendment.

22tl Senatorial District.
Editors Telegraph and Messenger : An elec
tion to fiU the vacancy iu this district has been
ordered on the — day, of September. Who
shall be the Democratic candidate? If onr
friends will let ns suggest the name, we will pro
pose a gentleman worthy of the place and com
petent to discharge its duties with credit to him
self and his constituents. One whose extensive
experience in important positions, whose intel
ligence, energy and personal worth wonld make
him a valuable member of any declarative body.
He has been a successful and prosperous me
chanic, filling with mnoh credit high places in
that profession. He has been entrusted with
the dntie3 of an important office of the munici
pal interests of the city of Maoon, and dis
charged those duties with credit to himself and
to the satisfaction of alL Other plaoes he has
also filled with like honor and credit, and he 1b
now and has been for several years, an industri
ous, successful and highly intelligent farmer.
We refer to Col. Geo. W. Adams, of Monroe,
and ask the candid consideration of the people,
on the foregoing suggestions. Monroe county
will not claim the candidate, bnt if Col. Adams
bo the man,' she will feel that she has furnished
a Senator who will bo an ornament to her
Citizens.
The Cotton Outlook. ->
The New Orleans Picayune of Friday in an
extended review of the cotton outlook, says
the average price of cotton, in the home mar
ket was, for the crop of 3868-9, 24fc; for the
crop of 18C9-70, 23J; for the.crop of 1870-71, it
it has been 14 1-6, and show a decline of abont
32 per cent.,' while the increase of the crop was
89 per cent. Tho Picaynne says:
With regard to the extent of the American
crop now maturing, it is too early to speak with
exactness, bnt the prospects are good for 3,250,-
000 bales, and the amount may be exceeded
with an extended picking season, and favorable
weather from this time forward.
Allowing, however, that the crop may exceed
the above figures, it seems likely that by the time
that receipts assume liberal proportions, priceB
will be materially higher. The average price of
cotton in this market at present is about 15^0.
per pound. This is bnt a shade above the price
one year ago. In fact the grades of cotton
above Good Ordinary are now quoted just the
same as they were on the 17th of August, 1870;
bnt the lower grades are worth more. The
prospect at present is certainly better for the
seller of cotton than it was at this time last
year. Instead of warfare and destruction, we
now have peace. Instead of a prospective laTge
increase in the supply? there will be a falling
off in America, and probably a still heavier de
crease in India.
Hon. Alex. Delsiae on Southebn Chabac
tee.—Hon. Alex. Delmar, editor of the New
York National Intelligencer, concludes a letter
to CoL DnP.ro, of the Memphis Appeal, on the
subject of “The New Departure,” as follows:
I am no truckler to Southern sentiment or
any other sentiment. I desire no office; I ask
no favors; and I would not cross the door of
my study for all the votes in tho country; but
I admire intellect and reverence truth and vir-
ture; and a careful and comprehensive glance
at the whole political field since 1861, compels
me to say that neither truth, virturo nor brains
have developed themselves in American politics
since that fatal day, when, to the great joy of
all the little mind3, and the profit of all tho
little men in the country, tho delegation of
Southern representatives left the Congress of
the United States.
Some days ago we asked Mr. Stephens, the
Celebrated Paragraphist of the Atlanta Son, the
question: “Suppose you were shut up all night
in a tower with a small baby, what wonld yon
do?”and Mr. Stephens replies that he would
“read it a selection from the Courier-Journal
as a bypnotio.” This, of conrso, is what any
well-regulated mind wonld do under such cir-
enmstanoes, and it relieves our anxiety to hear
him say it. We asked him the question because
we feared that if he shonld be thus shut up all
right with a baby, ho might unthoughtedly bore
it to death by reading it ono of bis paragraphs.—

Choy Awah, a young Chinese Snnday-school

got five wise and five foolish. Five hold lan
terns with no oil. Smart five all have oil inside.
Tho new married man come late; they sleep.
By and by they say, ‘New married man—come.
All go out to him.* Five makey nice lanterns.
Five foolish say, ‘Y'ou give my oil; lamp no
oil, yon give my some.” The smart say, ‘ I no
ive yon; I not enough; you go market buy.’
'ootish go market to buy. The new married
man come. All come to dinner. Shut the door.
By and by tho foolish come and say, “Boss,
boss, open door.’ He say, ‘ I no likey you; you

THE STOB91 OF FRIDAY ABO SATl'B-
MAT.
Particulars of Loum-Damage to Crops.
In onr edition of yesterday we briefly allnded
to the storru, whioh was prevailing at the time
of going to press. It was found impossible to
give any particulars as to the damage done to
property, in this oity and vicinity, owing to-the
fierceness with whioh the storm prevailed, ren
dering it impossible for even an enterprising
lqeal to breast the same without serious danger
to life and limb. The whole night long the
winds howled and the rain descended as though
the foundations of the great deep above and be
low had broken up.
Upon the subsidence of the wind and rain
yesterday morning, we set ont in seaich for
items of interest in connection with this the
most fearful gale that Savannah has experienced
for many years, and which in its results has
proved more disastrous to property than the
celebrated storm of September 8, 1854.
As stated, the wind commenced blowing a
gale from the northeast abont 1 o’clock p. m.,
Friday, accompanied by deluges of rain falling
in torrents without intermission. The gale in
creased in fury, and the rain descended in floods
until between 11 and 12 o’clock p. sr., at which
time it reached its height. The most substan
tial residences facing the north, were flooded.
The streets looked like one sea, and the wind
howled and howled again, tearing away every
thing exposed to their fury, doing an immense
amount of damage.
the damage
sustained by the pnblio works in and abont the
city will probably not fall short of $100,000.
The main sewer on EaBt Broad street, which
is being built under contract with O. Casey, was
very seriously damaged and torn np for about
two hundred and fifty feet, necessitating a very
large amount of work 'and labor in removing
the debris and in excavating again that portion
of the work which has been damaged.
The caned, between Lawton’s place, or planta
tion, and tho bridge on the Thunderbolt shell
road, upon which toe labor of the contractor
with a large number of hands has been expend
ed for the past two months, has been rained
and toe whole work will have to be recom
menced. Other sewers in process of construc
tion have been more or les3 damaged, involving
a heavy expense in placing them in status quo.
_ SPRINGFIELD PLANTATION.
upon which so much time, money and skill has
been spent, is completely under water, its en
tire length and breadth, and has toe appearance
of a vast inland sea. Houses situated upon it
have been submerged, toe waters rushing over
it with the velocity of a mill-race, scarcely
leaving time for the inhabitant’s, mostly ne
groes, to escape.
lamae’s field
and toe adjacent lowlands, in toe eastern part
of the city, present a similar spectacle. Thi
crops are all nnder water, and toe Bilbo canal
is overflowed its entire length from the shell
road to the river. YVhat damage was done to
private property in the shape of injury to crops
planted, we have not been able yet to ascertain
jbnt it must reach thousands of dollars.
THE CENTBAL RAILROAD.
At 4 o’clock yesterday morning it was discoy.
ered ;liat the large ten-foot culvert over Mus-
grove creek had given way, carrying with it tho
embankment for a distance of about one hun
dred and fifty feet, toe water rushing through
at a velocity of abont six miles per honr. The
break rapidly increased, and at 12 o’clock on
'Yesterday nearly the whole culvert had sae'
combed to the action of the fnriou3 waters,
The immediate cause of this break was toe
breaking of toe bank of the Ogeecheo canal
into the timber basin ahove toe culvert, the dam
of which giving way, caused the whole flood of
waters to rash to the culvert, which, unable to
stand the pressure gave way, as also did toe bridge
on the Louisville road across toe samo creek.
A large force from the Central railroad went
speedily to the spot, and were put to work
building a temporary foot bridge on tha south
ern side of the road bed, with the view of cut
ting away the remaining portion of toe culvert
and relieving tho embankment from the pres
sure of water against it The loss at this point
is estimated at from ten to fifteen thousand dol
lars. The break of conrse cat off communication
by train with toe depot, and necessitated the
transfer of passengers and mails at this point,
the arriving trains being toe departing ones.
BRICK YARDS.
The brick yard of Hamlet k Bailey, situated
on toe canal, tnd also that of Swayne & Roberts,
suffered considerably, the loss of brick in the
former being estimated at about fifteen hundred
dollars.
The saw mill of Bntler & Hardwick, situated
at toe foot of toe Central Railroad bridge, was
considerably damaged. A portion of toe mill
house was carried away, the engine was com
pletely snbmf-. r J, and twenty cords ot sawed
wood end twenty-five of stick wood swept away
by the flood. The damage done here is esli
mated at $400.
ATLANTIC AND GULF RAILROAD.
Although no damage has been done to the
property of the Atlantic and Gulf Railroad in
toe immediate vicinity of toe city, the non-
arrival of the train suggested something wroDg.
It was fonnd that a serious break had occurred
at tho culvert at toe five-mile post, sweeping
away the embankment rapidly for a considera
ble distance. Another break was reported some
distance above, and at a late honr yesterday
afternoon no tidings of toe down train had been
received, too telegraph being prosprated and no
means of communicating beyond tho first break.
A large force of hands wa3 dispatched to toe
enlvert, and at 3 o’clock p. m. it was rendered
passable, the men working with an energy and
vim highly commendable. Whether there are
any other serious breaks beyond remains to be
seen.
THF. SAVANNAH, SKIDAWAY AND SEABOARD RAIL-
The damage done to this road has also been
serious, entirely stopping the running of the
trains for several days, it is supposed. The
damage is from washing away of embankments,
etc., though the exact extent of the injury can
not at present be ascertained.
THE STREETS, SQUARES, ETC.
The debris of fallen trees, limbs, etc., scat
tered all over the city, gives evidence of the
force of toe winds. Many trees have been
blown down and others seriously injured.
CROPS-
The injury to the crops has been immense,
as we stated. Those planted on Springfield
plantation and Lamar’s, Lawton’s and other
farms in the low gTonnds east, have been rain
ed, and are now entirely nnder water.
The damage to the rice crop along the river,
on toe Ogeechee, eto., cannot yet be ascertain
ed, although we have seen a note from the
overseer to toe planter of an extensive planta
tion on toe Savannah river, giving a disastrous
aocount of the action of the flood on the planta
tion—settlements nnder water, provisions and
supplies destroyed, etc. Wo. trust that the
growingcrop of rioe will not be serionslyinjnred.
PRIVATE PROPERTY.
It is impossible to enumerate the injury sus
tained to private property in toe city from toe
unroofing of houses, blowing down of chimneys
and fences, the overflowing of cellars, oto.
The large cotton warehouse of Dr. Clark, on
the comer of West Broad and Broughton streets,
sixty by ninety feet, and jnst completed, is se
riously damaged, the water in toe cellar (which
is the entire area of the bntiding) being even
with the flooring. Dr. Clark estimates his dam
age at from $10,000 to 12,000.
Altogether, this has been the most rainous
storm know ninths history of Savannah for many
years. Fortunately no loss of life has occurred,
as far aB we have been able to learn, although
several nanow escapes have come to our knowl
edge, which we give elsewhere.—Savannah Re
