MACON, SEPTEMBER 5 1871.
News Items.
Sundax's dispatches report numerous and
fatal wrecks on the East Florida coast in the
cyclone of Friday night. It is also reported
that the hurricane was very severe and destruc
tive in Middle Florida, especially about Talla
hassee • We hope this is a mistake.
Frightful Accident.—A horrid railway acci
dent occurred last Saturday night seven miles
from Boston, in which an express tram, at full
speed, run into the rear of an accommodation
train just starting, crushing all the cars up to
the very last one of the accommodation. To
add to the horrors of the situation, the wreck
took fire and at the same time the engine of the
express train exploded, deluging the mangled
victims with steam and hot water. Some sixty
persons were killed, mutilated, burnt or scalded.
Arkansas, the banner cotton State of this
year, begins to cave before drouth and worms.
The worms are sweeping Texas. All this means
probably a crop of about two and a half million
bales.
Yellow Fever at Charleston.—Only three
new cases are reported since Friday. We are
inolined to believe that the yellow fever in
Charleston is confined to a few filthy localities,
and is due to local causes which can soon be re
moved. A little cleaning and chloride of lime,
we hope, will bring the disease to a pause. When
wo remember that Charleston has been so far,
and will be, until next November, a mere satur
nalia of free niggerism—the hot bed of filth
and vice, it is a wonder they have not had every
disease which could bo superinduced by squalor
and degradation.
The Cotton Crop of 1870 footed up last Fri
day, 4,002,461 bales. It is generally believed
that what is called the overland cotton—that is
to say, cotton which found its way direct to
Northern mills by railway transportation,
(which, in 1870, amounted to 120,000 bales.)
Trill, this year, overgo 300,000. Thon to the
crop must be added the consumption of the
Southern mills—lost and burned, eto., and the
opinion is that the crop year, which closes next
Thursday night, will show net much short of
4,COO,000 bales. We think it possible that the
crop of 1871 will be 2,000,000 bales short of
that figure; but wo shall see. Meanwhile, the
stocks of cotton on hand make this exhibit:
1871. 1870.

of 243,003 bales.
Buzleb held a baptizing in Springfield last
Thursday, and poured red hot lava on the heads
of his foes. The serenity of Massachusetts
Radicalism is gone, and by this time there are
a hundred letters travelling to New Orleans in
quest of evidence of the extent of Butler’s thefts
in that city. The great iron-clad made a direct
and fierce onslaught upon Radical administra
tion in that State, showing that thoy had piled
up State expenses from $798,000 in I860, to
$1,720,000 in 1870, and that corruption and ex
travagance ran wild in that hallowed and model
State. The spectacle of Butler reproving dis
honesty was sublime and powerful. But he is
a can of living nitroglycerine in the Radical
ranks, and therefore let him explode.
Helmrold.—The Commercial Advertiser is
informed that Helmbold was never in better
health and spirits. His prospects are bright,
and ere long the great advertiser will shine
more brilliant than ever. With Helmbold, there
is no such word as fail.
The Italian procession in New York on
Thursday got wet—very wet. The triumphal
flags trailed like wet clothes on a bad washing
day. The maidens fair who carried and waved
them, quit the business, for the flags would not
wave; and, besides, the wavers felt the cold
water triokling down into their shoes. After a
brief spell of this kind of fun, they waived the
fun in favor of hot whisky toddies and dry
flannels. However, they had processed and felt
better.
Longfellow.—How fickle is fortune! how
deoeitful is flattering hope! how treacherous is
human exaltation. The great Longfellow re
tires—lame, beaten and discomfitted—in fact a
shortfellow. But poor old John Harper was
worse lamed still. The Commercial Advertiser
says old John was so stunned by the defeat that
he could not speak. He did not even hear the
ten thousand shouts which heralded the unex
pected triumph of Helmbold. Ho had lost $40,-
000 on the race, and more than that on the value
of his horse. But ho had lost more than all in
wounded pride, and in the downfall of hi3 favor
ite. The Reporter says:
To me the race was a funeral and a wedding.
While the old man’s heart was breaking, ten
thousand people were wild with joy. I could
not rejoice. I only saw, and hoped, and suffered
with the white-haired old man by my side.
“The Sxndicate”— a collection of English
brokers, who are shaving Boutwell’s now paper,
are very elaborately defined from the Greek
Sundikos, a judge, and hence the Latin Syndi-
cut. This is all very well—but to our mind tho
term is only a corruption of the word Singecat.
They are Singecats, and Boutwell and tho New
York Radicals, are as proud because they will
condescend to take American L O. Us. as poor
old Micawber used to be when he adjusted his
pecuniary obligations in the same manner.
Macon and Western Railroad Freight Dues.
In respect to the complaints mentioned in our
local columns yesterday, that the Macon and
Western Railroad required payment of freight
before the delivery of goods, Colonel White, the
President of the road, says that these have been
his orders ever ainoe he held the position; but
it is truo that subordinates have, in some cases,
failed to enforce them (at their own risk,) and,
03 he thinks, unwisely. The contract of the
company is to deliver freights in good order,
at the depot, and there is the place where trans
fers should be made and the responsibility of
the company terminated. Tho company having
assumed responsibilities for the goods, often
far beyond their own earnings on them, is per
fectly secure so long as the goods are in its pos
session. No man will pretend to say that the
company ought to part with this security in all
eases, and yet to make discriminations is ex
ceedingly unpleasant and offensive. To let
freights go on a mere order, is not only to for
feit tho security, but to incur ruk of misunder
standing and damage from transportation by
dray. The consignee should, therefore, be there
in person or by responsible agent,-to see that
the freights are delivered in good order—to re
ceive them—pay and acquit the company; and
that ha3 been his rule.
The Central Road, having deficient accommo
dations, has adopted a different method, and if
extended to the Macon and Western will
cheerfully complied with: but if gentlemen will
think the matter over, they can hardly fail to
see that the rule of the Macon and Western is
equitable and logical; and that to do away with
it and employ a runner to collect freights at a
round salary per year would be unjust to stock
holders and incurring a needless expense. We
state the case so nearly as stated, as we know
how to do it.
We see that Mr. L. W. Trout and Miss Eliza
beth Pigs were married in Knoxville, the other
day. They ought to live comfortably.
Non»Tax raying Totera.
TheNewYork Observer and other like papers
of Republican proclivities are peculiarly solemn
over tho alleged municipal frauds in New York,
and they demand in the name of justioe and
right, that the State shall again take away the
right of municipal self-government from the
city of New York. And why? Because, say
they, reckless Democratic partisans are kept in
power by the votes of the Irish, who neither
know nor care anything about the consequences.
Few of them have any property or pay any
taxes. Their interests lie in supporting extrav
agant expenditure, because it famishes many
of them with employment, and the tax payers
are, therefore, literally ground to powder be
tween the upper and nether mill-stones of a dis
honest administration maintained in power by
an ignorant and irresponsible constituency.
In respect to the aotual facts in the case, we
do not doubt that the present municipal admin
istration of New York is the best one that city
hashed for many years; and that the frauds
complained of are in faot the direct result of
the proconsular system whioh these papers seek
to revive.
But if we admit the justice of their com
plaints, then we say let these men stop their
mouths, for the evils they groan about are pre
cisely what they have deliberately inflioted on
the Sonthern States. The situation they describe
is our situation—our’s because they deliberately
inflicted it upon us; and if, in the order of
Providence, the poisoned chalice is commended
to their own lips, we cannot grieve. Does it
become these noisy self-righteous champions
of “universal suffrage,” to groan over their own
medicine ? Nay, verily. Let them swallow it—
hold their peace and abide the consequences.
A. Catalogue ol Horrors.
Oar paper to-day chronicles three terrible
catastrophes—involving the killing and wound
ing of nearly 300 human beings. The railway
catastrophe near Boston, most horrible and in
excusable, is alluded to elsewhere. That was
scarcely in type before the noon dispatches
came to hand with two more, not less deplora
ble. One of these occurred Monday morning
on the Erie Road in the collision of a mail and
freight train, moving at a joint speed of fifty-
three miles an hour. Six were killed and a long
list of wounded is reported.
Next, all the horrors of the Westfield are re
vived in the explosion of the Sunday Excursion
Steamer at Point Clear, near Mobile, in which
fifty to sixty were killed and wounded. Surely
American passenger transportation will become
a by-word and a hissing throughout civilization
if this wholesale murder cannot be brought to
a pause.
THE GEORGIA PRESS.
In Savannah the Mayor issued an order put
ting all vessels from Charleston under quaran
tine ; makingthepolicesanitary Inspectors, and
recommending the free use of brooms and all
cleansing apparatus and disinfectants.
The Republican takes this view of matters,
in which we generally concur:
We Decline.—We regard all controversy on
political affairs among journalists at tho South
03 ill-timed and unprofitable. Wo therefore de
cline to answer the article in the Morning News
of yesterday. Wo could not agree on the “New
Departure” question, simply because we view
the matter from wholly different standpoints,
and standpoints of fact. If the News really
believes that the Democracy of tho North and
West desire to force the Southern people into
an endorsement or approval of those Radical
usurpations known as the constitutional amend
ments, it is perfectly right in protesting against
the outrage. Bat we do not believe any such
thing—we believe thoy will be just to the South,
considerate toward her feelings and true to the
principles of constitutional liberty, and there
fore have no occasion for protest or quarrel
with them in any shape or form. It is a ques
tion of confidence in men who have fought the
battles of liberty and the constitution when in
a hopeless minority, and when it required brave
man to face the storm of popular prejudice and
passion, and nothing short of demonstration
shall convince us that they will prove untrue to
either.
Just here we stand, and we have no quarrel
with those who have not the same confidence,
or who hold different opinions.
It was blowing a gale at Tybee on Saturday,
but the New York steamers went to sea as usual
—plucky. The Republican says:
Damage to Txbee Light House. —Tybee main
light house has two bad cracks in the main walls,
one running a distance of sixty feet along the
easterly side from the top of the tower down to
half way. The other is an old crack, which has
been widened, and is on southwest corner and
extends up about forty feet. The size of these
cracks are not large, but are distinguishable,
and both are the result of the late storm. A
government inspector will soon be in town for
the purpose of examining into and having the
damage repaired.
The Advertiser of Sunday says that the trains
for tho Florida road did not leave Savannah on
Friday night. The train going we3t on the At
lantic and Gulf Road encountered a wash at the
94 mile post. The Macon train by the Bruns
wick Road due at 8:35 Saturday morning,
reached Savannah at 8:30 in the evening—the
detention being caused by a wash on the Macon
and Brunswick Road. The western end of the
Atlantic and Gulf Road had not been heard
from. The water on the Florida Road was re
ported very high. The Advertiser says:
There is every reason to believe that Florida
has been visited with a gale, equal in violence
to that experienced at this point on the 18 th and
19th inst. It was impossible yesterday to learn
the extent of damage done, as tho wires were
not working beyond Lake City. Sufficient was
known, however, to warrant the belief that por
tions of Florida experienced a fearful tornado,
especially Tallahassee, where the gale is said
to have been unprecedented in fury. Extend
ing along the line of the Florida, Atlantic and
Gulf, and Macon and Brunswick roads, we have
evidences of its severity from the damage done
along their lines.
The Thomas .County Fair.—The Savannah
Republican has received the pamphlet announce
ment of the Second Annual Fair of the Second
Annual Fair of the South Georgia Agricultural
and Mechanical Association, to be held at
Thomasville, commencing Tuesday, October
31st, and continuing five days. It contains the
reports of fhe President, Secretary and Treasu
rer, which present the society in a highly flour
ishing condition, besides which they have many
pages devoted to the premium list to be con
tended for at the coming fair. The Thomas-
vile Association is one of the most spirited and
successful in the State, and is setting a good ex
ample to agriculturists everywhere.
The Savannah Advertiser tells of the arrest
by bench warrant from Atlanta of a prominent
citizen of that place, on charge of swindling the
Western and Atlantio Railroad out of $7,500.
The Langly Manufacturing Company.—We
aro glad, (says the Augusta Constitutionalist, of
Sunday,) to learn that the repairs to the dam of
this company’s mill-pond is progressing favora
bly, and that to-morrow a portion of their looms
will be put in operation. It is expected that
the mill will be under full headway some time
during September. Orders will now be received
for goods.
The Railroad Muddle.—Tho New Era, of
Sunday, prints a long correspondence between
McCalla, ex-bookkeeper of tho Western and
Atlantic Railroad, and Farrow, Attorney-Gen
eral, introduced to the editor by Foster Blodg
ett. McCalla offers, in presenoe of Farrow, to
turn over tho books and papers to the Comp
troller General, but he respectfully declines to
surrender them to Foster Blodgett,. Farrow re
sponds that he cannot accede to the proposition
“for the reason that I consider it my duty, nn-'
der the laws of Georgia and instructions this
day received, to ascertain from those books and
papers, as speedily as possible, who are in de
fault, and the amount of their default; and far
ther, who have now in their possession any
money or property of.tho Wesfera and Atlantio
Railroad, whether fraudulently or otherwise,
and cause proper demand to be made of them
for settlement, and, in case of failure to settle
them, have proper statement of the sum thus
withheld made to the Comptroller General that
he may issue his execution as the law direots,
and thus bring them to a settlement in the
most summary manner. With a view to
thus placing these matters in such shape
that the Comptroller can issue his execu
tion and bring these parties, no matter who
they may be, to a speedy settlement, I wish to
place all the books and papers under the imme
diate control of Judge Hammock, Dr. Red wine,
Judge Collier, or any other citizen of like un
impeachable character, and have them fur
nished with such aid as will enable them to
speedily furnish me a complete statement of
every defalcation or fraud. During^ the mean
while you or any other citizen desiring it shall
have free access to those books and papers in
the presenoe of Judge Hammond, Dr. Redwine,
Judge Collier, or such other like citizen as
might be selected, and only in their presence,
I and all other persons heretofore connected
with the road being under the same restrictions,
and in the meanwhile every faoility shall be af
forded to ascertain fraud and bring parties now
or hereafter arrested to justice, whether they
be high or low in station.”
McCalla accepts Farrow’s proposition. Far
row rejoins in a long letter defining the duties
of the Superintendent under the Code and the
law authorizing the lease of the road, and says
While I regret to know that I have been com
pelled, from a sense of duly, to take issue with
his Excellency, the Governor, and the Superin
tendent on some questions, and oppose them
with all the power and influence I possessed,
even to a rupture of pleasant relations; yet, so
long as his Exoelleney, Gov. B. B. Bullock, re
mains the Chief Magistrate of Georgia, he shall
have from me all the respect and support to
which his official position entitles him. And
believing that the law makes it the duty of Hon.
Foster Blodgett, Superintendent of the Western
and Atlantio Railroad, to bring all his subordi
nate appointees to a settlement, I shall respeot
him as such, and faithfully discharge any and
all duties which may devolve upon me as the
attorney of the Western and Atlantio Railroad.
I have entered upon this duty untrammelled
by any private instructions or restrictions by
either the Governor or Superintendent, and I
trust they both know me well enough to know
that in the discharge of my duty I will screen
no man.
McCalla knocks under incontinently. Far
row then addresses a letter to O. L. Redwine,
G. G. Hammock and E. E. Rawson asking them
to take charge of the books and papers. This
correspondence is prefaced with letters of
Blodgett to the New Era and Major Geo. Hill-
yer. Blodgett promises the New Era that “some
other facts will appear at the proper time that
will be astounding to the publie”—a thing which
wo seriously doubt. We doubt whether Blodgett
or any of his confederates in the Western and
Atlantio Railroad can astonish the public. The
public is prepared for anything, short of an
earthquake. The other letter from the Honor
able Foster promises his earnest co-operation
in having “the guilty parties exposed and
brought to justice.” That is good and cool.
State Road Matters.—The Atlanta Consti
tution, of Sunday, says that W. D. R. Millar, a
merchant in Savannah, has been arrested for
being implicated in some of the bogus and
loaded bills against the State Road, amounting
to between $7,000 and $8,000.
It is reported that subsequent investigation
discloses the fact that the late Treasurer of the
road has some $36,000 in his hands.
The same paper says that Dunning, Logan
and others have formed another Ice Company
with a capital of $32,000, and will commence
operations eariv next spring.
No Gale in Brunswick.—From fhe Appeal of
Saturday, we see that they have had hardly a
whiff of wind—not enough to blow down a rot
ten fence. Is Brunswick too slow for the wind
to blow there?
Amebicus and Haweixsyille Railroad.—
The Sumter Republican of Saturday says the
corporators of this road would meet in that city
on that day. The building of the road is a fixed
fact. The Republican learns “that the com
pany Mr. Hazlehurst represents has bought out
the Vicksburg and Eufaula Railroad, paying
over $600,000 cash, for that portion of tho
woik already completed. If this be true there
need be no fears entertained that tho junction
of the Macon and Brunswick and the Vicksburg
and Eufaula Roads will not be effeoted.”
In Columbus, the storm was lively on Friday
night, knocking trees and fences about and, as
the Sun thinks, greatly injuring crops.
The Sun says the three flouring and grist mills
in Columbus annually consume about 100,000
bushels of wheat and 60,000 bushels of com.
The flour and meal they produce are equal to
the best in the land.
The Sun promises good trade this fall and
winter. They will receiveabout 55,000.instead
of 75,000 bales of cotton, and get more for it—
getting from 20 to 25 cents for middlings. This
year the average of middlings for the months in
Columbus were as follows: September, 14.5-11;
October, 13j; November, 141-5; December,
13$; January, 18f; February, 1319 32; March,
13*1-20; April, 13$; May, 14 3-10; June 14 9-32;
July, 14 50-96; August thus far, 16 5-12.
We judge from the Colnmbu3 papers that the
woods all around there are thick with railroad
surveying parties and negroes spade in Hand.
Taming up so much earth will make it sickly,
and besides a little of the surface should be left
for agricultural purposes. The shade frees
about Columbus are full of worms, and they
talk about applying vermifuge. The Eagle &
Phoenix mills are having a high run with their
cotton blankets. Orders pour in from East,
West, North and South, and Friday they got an
order for 800 pairs from Mexico.
That big cotton crop in Texas is likely fail.
The Sun says that on Friday one of their largest
commission merchants had received a telegram
from Texas which gives the information that
the caterpillar is immensely damaging the cot
ton crop. They commenced on the coast and
are moving into the interior in an army. The
crop is reported cutoff one-third in the State.
The telegram comes from a reliable source.
The Rome Courier has the following:
Sad.—We have received the painful intelli
gence that Mrs. Martha Boras, the estimable
mother of Maj. Jno. T. Burns, died very sud
denly at her residence, in Dirt Town Valley,
Chattanooga county, on tho night of the 24th
inst. She retired to bed io her usual health,
and the next morning her family was shocked
to find her dead. Her death was evidently the
effect of heart disease, to which she was sub
ject. ’ •
The place for the Agricultural School is Dah-
lonega. The Last Mountain Signal says:
Chickens, butter and eggs are now in great
demand here. Chickens, 15; eggs, 12$; butter,
20.
These are the only three linos wo ever read in
a Georgia paper which looked like farming.
The same paper has the following:
Visitors.—People of all sorts are continually
passing through the city to the Porter Springs,
and Mr. Besser has had quite a respectable
number of visitors during the week.
Killed.—Rumor has it here, that Mr. Bob.
Latham, of Hall county, killed two Federal sol
diers the other day in White county, who at
tempted to search his wagon. About tho time
Bob. done his killing the company to which the
soldiers belonged came along and sent Bob. to
his long home.
The Weather.—There has been frequent
showers passing about the last week, and we
have fell heir to our portion, which has placed
our turnip patches, gardens, eto., in a growing
tend prosperous condition. The days are warm
and the nights very eool. The com crop, as n
general thing, is getting along very well and
we are hopeful of a much better yield than be
fore the rains set in.
The duthbert Appeal has the following.upon
orops in Randolph county:
It is generally believed, as far as we can as
certain, that if the seasons should be propitious
the balance of the time, and no frost should ap
pear until about the 1st of next June, this sco-
tion may oonnt on at least half a crop of cotton.
Otherwise, we would not feel safe in predicting
more than about three-sixteenths of a crop.
Dougherty is ahead of us, since the Albany News
reports a prospect of five-eights.

New York, August 27.—The ootton move
ments, compared with last week, show an in
crease of receipts and exports. The receipts at
all the ports were 7,844 bales, against 7,630
last week, Q.454 tho previous week and 10,472
three weeks since. The total receipts since
September have been 4,002,461 bales, against
2,898,109 the corresponding period of the pre
vious year—showing an increase of 1,204,352,
The exports from all the ports for the week are
14,338 bales, against 12,977 the same week last
year. The total exports for the expired portion
of the cotton year are 8,152,538 bales, against
2,167,323 the same time last year. Stock at all
the ports 105,829 bales, against 77,635 for the
same date last year. Stocks at interior towns
12,970 bales, against 17,719 last year. Stook
in Liverpool 604,000 bales, against 524,000
last year. American cotton afloat for Great
Britain 56,000 bales, against 50,000 last year.
Indian cotton afloat for Europe 632,925 bales,
against 493,187 last year.
The weather South daring the week has been
unfavorable. A severe storm along the Atlantic
coast, especially in Georgia and South Carolina,
has damaged chiefly the sea island crops. This
storm, or a wing of it, extended to the interior
of Georgia and South Carolina, and. thero are
numerous complaints of the plant being blown
down. Private advices also speak of rust and
caterpillars in many sections. In Tennessee
and Texas complaints reach ns of drouth.
Boston, August 26.—The Bangor express
train ran into a Beverly train, seven miles from
Boston. Eighteen men and three women were
killed, and forty or fifty wounded.
Boston, August 27.—The particulars of the
accident on the Eastern Railroad at Revere
last night are appaling. The express ran into
an accommodation train at full speed, with such
force that the engine and tender reached the
centre of the last car, which was demolished.
This oar was crowded with passengers sitting
and standing. The wood work instantly took
fire and the scene which followed was terrible.
The boiler of the engine bnrsted, and the vic
tims were enveloped in a cloud of steam and
deluged with hot water.
Later.—The flames have been extinguished,
but few passengers in the car who were not
instantly killed by the collision escaped the fatal
effect of the steam. The other cars of the ac
commodation train took fire from Die upsetting
of kerosene lamps, bat the passengers got out
in time.
The number of dead so far is 24—among them
Rev. Dr. Ezra Garnett, of Boston.
Further Particulars.—At the time of the
collision the accommodation train for Beverly
had its red signal lights behind, and the red
signal was hoisted at the mast head of the
signal post for the express to hold up, which
it did at Everett, but subsequently proceeded
and was under full head way when near
Revere Station—the engineer evidently not
being aware of the proximity of the Beverly
train, until perhaps within sixty yards of it. He
then whistled down brakes, but not soon enough
to avoid the calamity. Some of the passengers
in the rear part of the accommodation train
heard the whistle bnt too late to escape. On
came tho express train at great velocity, and the
engine struck the rear car full in the centre and
forced its way in a telescope manner. The car
was crowded with people. Every seat being
occupied, and many standing in the aisle. In
and among them the locomotive rushed quick
as a flash, just as the Beverly train had started,
mangling and killing in the most frightful man
ner. Subsequently the boiler exploded and
shattered the lamps, which fired tho cars.
Jacksonville, Fla., August 27.—The brig
Pomonia, of Richmond, Maine, went oshoro 25
miles south of Cape Oanavaral, August 17. Her
cargo of cotton can bo saved. No lives lost.
The steamer Lodona stranded six miles north of
Cape Canavaral. The beach is strewn with
her cargo for thirty miles. Tho Captain and
twenty men were lost. The first officer, second
officer, chief engineer, first assistant engineer,
chief cook, one fireman, Captain Harvey’s son,
moss boy, and five seamen were saved. The
brig S. \V. Welsh, of Philadelphia, is ashore
fifteen miles south of Canavaral. Her cargo
of sugar washed out. Captain Watson was
drowned, and his body was buried on the spot.
Tho brig H. G. Berry, of Baltimore, is ashore
fifty yards from the Welsh, and isatatol wreck.
Her cargo consisted of sugar and molases. Tho
bark Huida, from New Orleans, bound to Cowes,
was stranded six miles sonth of St. Augustine.
Her cargo of tobacco and staves is a total loss.
One man was drowned.
New York, August 27.—The domestic pro
duce markets have been fairly aotive during
the week, with an advance in most of the lead
ing staples. At the Produce Exchange flour
ha3 advanced—chiefly on spring wheat flours—
and a fair business has been transacted, partly
for export. Wheat has improved, with a con-
tinned demand from the continent of Europe
for winter. There has been an increased de
mand from England for spring wheat, but the
available supply here of this description is not
large. Corn has advanced, with a good demand
both for export and homo consumption. Other
grains have been dnll, and oats have declined.
The trade in wheat at Chicago resulted in large
losses to parties operating on the bear side, and
a nnmber of failures have taken place at the
West. These comers in articles of food are a
disgrace to modern civilization, and all officers
of financial institutions who enconrage such
operations by loaning money to speculators
engaged in them, should beheld up to public
scorn.
New York, August 26.—Later advices from
the West Indies state that the fire whioh recently
visited Point-a-Petre, the capital of the Island
of Gaudalonpe, destroyed nearly the whole town,
including the bank, treasury and Custom-house.
Sixteen blocks were consumed, and the entire

Farther Particulars of the Mobile Disaster
Mobile, August 28.—The Mobile Register has
kindly furnished the following: “The steamer
Ocean Wave, a low pressure boat, left the city
on Sunday morning with abont two hundred
persons on board for an exonrsion to Fish River,
abont thirty miles from this city. On her re
turn she stopped at Point Clear, reaohing there
at 5 p. m. The boat was made fast and most
of the passengers went ashore. After remain
ing half an hoar the whistle was blown. The
passengers had just got aboard when the
boiler exploded with great foroe, followed
by a rambling, hissing sound. Fragments
of timber and metal flew in every direction.
The forward part of the boat’s cabin was car
ried completely away. The chimney fell back
wards toward the rear of the boat, crashing the
npper cabin, and the boat immediately sunk
with her bow submerged. Abont sixty or sev
enty persons were killed and injured by the ex
plosion. So far tie bodies of nineteen dead—
eight ladies among the number—have been re
covered. Twenty-eight wounded have been
brought to this city, and one of the number—
a little girl—has since died. The soene was
appalling, terrific, and heart-rending. Wilder
scones of grief are seldom witnessed. The
frantic cries of survivors, as they lamented for
lost wives, children, parents, and sisters, were
agonizing to all who had hnman sympathies.
Many of the passengers were little children,
and many little hats and bonnets came ashore to
tell of the little victims beneath the waves. The
Captain, William Eaton, swam some time with
both of his legs broken. A boat reached
him just too late and be went down. The
two pilots were killed. The engineer and wife
were severely injured, and all the firemen killed.
It is impossible to correctly estimate the loss.
By some it is supposed that at least 30 or 40 per
sons are still buried in the debris of the wreck,
or at the bottom of the bay. A diver has gone
to the scene of the disaster. The accident has
cast a gloom over the whole city, and a univer
sal sadness prevails. The streets are crowded
with people, and the excitement and feeling are
intense. The Ocean Wave has been for some
time considered an nnsafe boat, and has always
been an nnlucky one. A criminal responsibility
rests somewhere, and it shonld be visited upon
those to whose recklessness and incapacity it is
attributable. The system of inspection every
where is loose, careless and reckless. The
boiler was not so much exploded as it was torn
open with a long seam. It was so rotten as to
literally tear open. Had it been stronger so as
to explode with greater force the destruction
would have been greater. The force of the ex
plosion was upward and forward.
Charleston, Angnst 28.—Diligent inquiry
feils to discover any new cases of fever in the
last twenty-four hours. The whole number of

hension of an epidemio is gradually subsiding.

New York, August 28.—At a meeting of the
Grand Jnry to-day, Recorder Haokett delivered
a special charge on the subject of the Westfield
boiler explosion. The Judge pointed ont the
provisions of the law applicable to the oase and
oircumstanoes necessary to be fonnd to exist in
order to reach the President, Superintendent
and Engineer of the Company. The Recorder
said it was too often the case that subordinates
are made scape-goats for erring officers who are
over them, and who are more powerful in plaoe;
and he means, if it is possible on the facts and
law, to hold presidents, directors, eto., of com
mon carriers responsible for accidents happen
ing to passengers, whoso lives and limbs they
ore bouud to insure against negligence. Then
a great and beneficial example would be set
these officials who exact; liberal commutations
and faies; and they should be held to the ut
most vigilance. He concluded by saying: “With
a whole nation looking at our judioial action
upon this great catastrophe, let ns all give no
room for after reproaches from any quarter.”
Paris, August 2f}.—Gbn. Doorot has been
appointed military commander at Bruges. It

to-morrow. The municipal council of Paris has
resolved to issue in the form of a lottery a three

Francis Joseph will be accompanied by Count
Von Beast, a. firm basis was laid at Gasten
for relations wherever Germany and Austria are
to assume a joint attitude. Italy has uncondi
tionally agreed to the same policy, and commu
nications have passed between the three gov
ernments looking to the establishment of a com
plete understanding.
London, August 28.—The French deputation
who, sinoe their arrival in Ireland, have been
met with a constant succession of enthusiastic
greetings from the people of Ireland, leave Dub
lin to-morrow for England.
The report of the treaty of alliance, offensive
and defensive, concluded by Prassia and Italy,
rests on the authority of a special dispatch to
the London Standard.
. Upon the departure of the French deputation
from Ireland, bands played American, Irish and
French airs. The enthusiam was intense. Bad
feeling was evident between the police and the
people, but no disturbance occurred. The po
lice holding aloof, the prooession paraded, the
principal streets, and the houses on the line
were decorated. It was an extraordinary Feni
an demonstration.
The
for prolongation of the term of Thiers will be
brought before the Assembly to-day.
Berlin, August 26.—The Prussian Cross con
firms the report that the second meeting of the

Cotton Crop—Alleged Falling;
Off of 75 per cent!
The Louisville Courier-Journal of Saturday
has a Washington speoial of the 25th, which
says:
Late advices received at the Agricultural De
partment from several cotton growing States,
are to the effeot that the crop is almost a fail
ure. The falling off is abont 75 per cent., as
compared with last year. -The army worm has
made its appearance in some sections where the
crop was fair, and rained hundreds of acres of
it. Advices from the Louisiana sugar-growing
districts are more encouraging, and the yield is
estimated at 250,000 hhds. In Virginia and
Maryland the com and tobacco crops have been
injured by the drought, and the yield will be
nothing like as great as was anticipated a few
weeks ago.
That is piling on the agony too strong. We
reckon the correspondent meant 25 per oent.,
which would be abont as far the other way.
Suppose we say fifteen hundred to two million
bales short, and let it rest there.
Synopsis of Weather Statement.
War Dep’t, Office Chief Signal Office
Washington, D. O., Angnst 30, 7:40?. m.
The barometer has risen somewhat since Tues
day afternoon from the Gulf coast to Michigan
and Nebraska, and still more on Lakes Superior
and Huron. The area of lowest barometer,
after extending northward beyond our stations,
has moved eastward, and is probably now cen
tral north of Lake Ontario, and is extending its
influence rapidly over New England, where
threatening weather now succeeds to tho clear
ing weather of this morning. Southerly and
westerly winds have continued on the lower
Lakes, increasing to brisk for a short time, and
fresh westerly winds from the Ohio valley to
Lake Superior. South and east winds continue
on the New England coast. Light and fresh
winds have prevailed in the Southern and Gnlf
States. Numerous storms of smaller dimen
sions have passed over the Middle Atlantic
coast, and similar ones are still threatening.
Probabilities: Clearing and pleasant weather
is probable for Thursday from Georgia to Lake
Ontario and westward, with brisk westerly
winds for a time from Lake Miohigan to New
York; pleasant weather in the Gnlf and South
Atlantio States, with local rains on the coast at
midday. The storm in Canada will probably
bring southerly winds, with rain, to-night from
New Jersey to Maine, and local storms of some
severity from Virginia to New York—the whole
clearing away by Thursday evening, excepting
Maine.
The Gale in Atlanta.—The True Georgian
says the gale burst on that city shortly after
midnight on Friday, and awnings, sign-boards
and chimneys suffered, bnt no serious damage
was done.
At.t. the prisoners except four in the Bartow
county jail escaped on the night of the23dinst.,
abont 10 o’clock, it is supposed, by sawing
through the floor and digging under the wall.
It is supposed that they must have worked
nearly a week before they accomplished their
design. How they obtained tools, and by whom
assisted, if assisted they were, no one knows.
The four who remained in the jail could have
made their escape if they had wished to do so;
in faot, one of them did get out, and went to
the jailor’s house to inform him of the other
prisoners’ escape. Their time having nearly
expired, we presume they thought they would
remain and “tough it out.”
Return of Governor Bullock. — The Atlanta
Sun announces the return of Governor Bollock
Sunday evening.
Tho same paper says:
Yesterday officer Kendrick returned to this
city bringing with him Mr. James Mullins,
whom he arrested somewhere below Macon, and
Mr. W. R. D. Millar, of Savannah, arrested in
that city. ' Both are charged with complicity in
the State Road frauds and pecnlations, and, we
understand, will have a hearing before Judge
Hopkins this morning at the City HalL
Mr. Millar is accompanied by his wife, and is
stopping at the Kimball House. Both he and
Mullins are in the custody of the officers.
: The sort of colored voters they have in North
Carolina, and probably most everywhere
throughout the Sonth, is well illustrated by the
following incident: A gentleman about enter-
ingThe cars at Weldon during the late election
was hailed by a negro on the platform, “Tell
de folks up country,” said the ebony freeman,
“it’s all gwine right."’
“Who did yon vote for, Sam?” asked the
gentleman.
“Dunno, massa,” answered the intelligent
’contraband.
| i “Well, then, what dtd yon vote for ?”
“Dunno, massa.”
“Did you vote with the white folks?”
“Vote wid de white folks! Yah! Yah! Yah!
No, no, reckon not. Vote wid de niggers ebery
time, massa.”
And “sioh” is the universal suffrage at the
South. The carpet-bag authorities have taxed
the people in nearly every portion of the State
of North Carolina for public schools, and as
yet those schools are like the poet’s Spanish
castles. As long as this ignorance of the blacks
can be made profitable for political purposes,
it is easy to see that the money raised won’t go
to educate them.
