News Items.
The Hurricane at St. Thomas.—The late
storm swept over the Danish Island of St.
Thomas on the 21st nit., about twenty-three
hours before it struck the Florida coast a little
below the mouth of St. Johns River. At St.
Thomas it raged with such fary that not a house
•was left standing on the whole island, and 130
persons wero killed or seriously injured. bL
Thomas is about seventeen miles long by four
and one-half broad, with an area of about 45
square miles, and a population of 14,000 souls.
St. Kitts, a British island not far from St
Thomas, of a little larger area and population,
ia said to have met with a similar fate, in the
same storm.
The Health or Queen Victobia is said to be
very precarious. Hor nervous system is much
shattered, and she left London for Balmoral in
pursuance of orders from tho Comrt Physicians.
Overland Cotton.—The Montgomery Adver
tiser says the first car-load of now cotton
shipped North this season was sent through to
Boston on tho “South and North through freight
line” by those enterprising gentlemen, Messrs.
Shular & Hartwell, on Friday last. It will go
Straight through to Norfolk without breakage of
bulk.
The same paper says the cotton bulls and
bears are having a high old time. The bulls
believe cotton will bring a dollar a pound, and
tho bears insist that all above a cent is thrown
away.
A Strange, strange sight if is to see the New
York journals now teeming with whole pages
of atrocious murders and other crimes, charging
upon the poor South as a land of violence and
blood.
The Tribune cotton estimate is three quarters
of a million less than last year, and rather more
if frost holds off a month. This year the
Bhorts will all go up the spout.
Nobth Carolina Cabs.—The Wilmington
Journal eay3 of two passenger coaches just
turned out for the Brunswick & Albany Road at
WilmingtoD, Delaware, that a similar car from
the shops of the Weldon & Wilmington Road
stood beside them and beat them in workman
ship and price.
Business in New Ogleans.—The Picayune of
1st September cotains its usual annual state
ment of tho business of tho year. New Orleans
received lastyear 1,546,971 bales cotton, valued
at $101,000,000, an increase of 338,538 bales
over tho previous season. Eeceipts of sugar
exhibit a very handsome increase, and the to
bacco trade, though not as large as at one timo
hoped, shows somo improvement; while tho
trado in Western produce has not fallen off. The
total value of tho products of tho interior re
ceived during tho year is $169,000,000, against
$200,820,000 last year. Tho average value of
Cotton in Now Orleans last year was 144 cents
per pound.
New Orleans Cotton Exchange Report.—
Tho Now Orleans Exchange issued its report
for September on the 1st insti They say of Mis
sissippi that the reports average a falling off of
one-half to three-quarters of last years’ crop
with a favorable season and a Iato fall. Cotton
picking is two to three weeks later. Boll worm
has caused serious injury in many of the coun
ties and the caterpillar is reported in eleven,
with no serious damage as yet. Louisiana.—
Excessive rains in the Southern, Southeastern
and Eastern parishes and dronth in the North-
western. Condition of the crop fair. Picking
two to threo weeks later. Decrease in acreage
18 to 20 per cent. Estimate of yield per acre
one-half to three-quarters as compared with
last year, with a favorable picking season and
no allowance of damage from worms. Cater
pillar in fifteen parishes. Arkansas.—Condi
tion of crop generally good. Weather as good
as last year except in White, Chicot, Woodruff,
Drew, Ashley, Desha and Arkansas counties,
which have suffered from too mnch rain.
Picking generally ten to fifteen days later than
lastyear. Falling off in cotton acreage twen
ty to twenty-five per cent. Estimated yield
per aero from three quarters to seven-eights of
last year’s crop- Alabama.—Condition of crop
not good. Picking two to four weeks later—
except where maturity has been precipitated by
drought Decrease in acreage 21 per oent. The
yield per acre, with a favorable fall, will bo 70
per cent as compared with last year. Geor
gia.—Picking from ono to two weeks later. De
crease in acreage 18 per cent, and yield, as
compared with last year, 75 per cent Texas.—
Long and continued dronth over nearly the
whole State. Crops greatly injured. Picking,
owing to drouth, earlier than last year. De
crease in acroago 30 per cent Yiold, with fa
vorable season, one-half to five-eighths of last
year. Tennessee.—Reports meager, but favor
able in every respect
Tho receipts of new crop cotton to August
31st, compared with previous years, are as fol
lows: 1871, 22 bales; 1870, 109 bales; 1869,
432 bales; 1868, 476 bales.
Wreck of the Steamship Mississippi.—Tho
Ficaynne, of tho 1st, contains a fall report of
tho wreck of the steamship Mississippi on the
Florida coast. She left New York on Saturday
evening, tho 19th alimot, and had pleasant
weather till Tuesday morning, when Bhe en
countered the storm. But not till Thursday
noon did she cnconntor tho hurricane in all its
strength, and by night it blew with such fury as
to stavo in all the cabin windows and pat ont
tho lights. Flanks nailed on wero instantly
blown in. Tho pilot-house was blown away,
the engineers and firemen wero forced from
their posts, and, in this situation, tho ship
struck at 8 o’clock in tho evening. Then fol
lowed a night of extraordinary terror—tho ship
thumping violently and thrown upon her beam
ends. By morning the gale abated, and tho
ship was found to be in a cable’s length of the
Hillsborough Inlet about forty-throe miles south
of Jupiter. Tho passengers wero put ashore
by what is called a boatswain’s chair traversing
a cable which had been stretched to land. Tents
wore pitched and they passed tho night, and
were taken off next day by the steamship Cortes,
Captain 'Whitman, bound for New Orleans,
with the loss of all their baggage, bnt of not a
singlolife.
The N. A. O. C. L A. W., otherwise tho Grand
Panjandrum of tho American Communists, as
the antidote to tho “deadly poison of tho sub
sidized American press,” will send to all appli
cants “tho complete vindication of the Paris
Oommuno, as issued by the General Council of
the L A. W.” Tho brethren are exhorted to ap
ply for tho pamphlet, and learn what a delight
ful thing it is to murder and bum.
Butler, in his Springfield speech, gives a very
vivid idea .of his utter want of manliness and
principle in tho following:
My enemies tell yon that at tho Charleston
Convention I voted fifty-Beven times for Jeff
Davis for President. I did—to preserve the
£“«• They teU yon that every time, but they
don t to.l you that the boat I came away from
Charleston on hid on bo&td & fn^itive sIayo,
Always a mean, sneaking rascal.
The WnmmousE and Cheney Controversy.
—A Chicago dispatch of Friday 6»ys there will
be no confirmation in Christ Church till Bishop
Whitehouse requests Mr. Cheney to present
the candidates, which he will probably not do.
It should be understood that the action of Mr.
Cheney from the first has had the cordial sup
port of his wardens and vestrymen. At the
meeting of the vestry last night, Mr. Cheney
offered his resignation for the fifth time, but it
Was unanimously rejected.
The Tribune ia ont with campaign paper
propositions, and is going to secure a rousing
Radical triumph this Fall on the strength of
Tammany Frauds.
Colton Figures and the Hew Crop.
The reports up to Friday show gross receipts
closing the ootton year, of 4,009,502 bales,
against 2,907,909 at the same time lastyear.
Now the crop produced in 1869, according to
Hunt’s yoar book, was 3,154,946 bales—from
which deduct 2,907,909, the current report at
the end of that year, and we have a balance of
247,034 bales, which was added to it. Now,
from the general talk among cotton men, we
should infer that there would ba an excess over
this amount tho present year of about 75 per
cent But let us add fifty per cent—say 123,-
578=370,615 bales to tho 4,009,502, and we
should make tho crop of '1870, 4,330,117 bales.
Probably it will not much overgo that amount.
This would show an excess over the crop of
1869 amounting to 1,225,171 bales; but the ac
tual increase in visible supply, as shown last
week, was only 289,000 bales—showing that
nearly a million bales have been disposed of
in the way of increased consumption or in ac
cumulated stocks of manufacturers—no doubt
in both. The stocks as reported last Friday
compare with last yoar as follows:
Stock at all ports..
Afloat—American cotton
1871
1870
.. 90,040
. 10,726
64,355

. G7,000
26,000
.647,972
493,448
1,376,738
1,092,431
Showing a general stock excess this year of
284,307 bales, against an increase of 1,225,171
boles in the American crop.
And now, concerning the incoming crop of
1871, we invito attention to the New Orleans
Exchange Report, dated September 1st, and
which may be found in fall in tho Picayune of
that date. We have given somo of the figures
from this report elsewhere. They contain esti
mates from the six main cotton States, which,
consolidated, would show this result, allowing
that we have a good picking season and tho
crop is not damaged by worms: Nett diminu
tion in cotton acreage from last year, 18* per
cent. Nett falling off in product per acre—a
little over 28 per cent,—say in both 46 per cent,
inevitable falling off from last year in tho six
principal cotton States, with a propitious fall
season, and with no damage to the crop from
insects. The cotton crops proper of the Caro
lines and Florida will not amount to 400,000
bales, or say one-eleventh of the total yield of
last year, and the nett decrease on tho whole
crop shown by these estimates of the New Or
leans Board would be about 42 per cent, or say,
in round numbers, 1,800,000 bales, which would
show a crop of 2,500,000 to 2,600,000 for 1871.
Our ideas run that way, too; bnt wo shall see
what we shall behold.
THE GEORGIA PRESS. .
Hucksters were charging ono dollar a peck
for peaches in the Columbus market last Satur
day, and it was not a good day for charging, eith
er. The Sun says many Florida and Southwest
Goorgia merchants have engaged stores iu Co
lumbus, for tho comiDg season.
An operative in the Eagle and Phenix factory
at Columbus named Thompson lost an arm,
Friday, by having it caught in a band.
Wo aro glad to soe that Mr. Stephens, in the

“Lost Cause” circular, and that ho repudiates
its doctrines and denounces it as a Badical trick
Dahlonega bases its claims to tho Agricultural
College upon a peach weighing half a pound and
measuring ten inches in circumference. For a
couple of bushels of tho samo, we’ll organize a
syndicate and take her claims into consideration.
Randall, our ex-brother of tho Augusta Con

William Taylor, of Randolph county, ia in

Tho Atlanta Era says tho trial of the pious

Wo clip tho following items from tho last Sa
vannah News:
Effects of the Late Storm.—The effects of
tho recent cyclone are still being felt on the rail
roads running throngh the lower part of the
State. Among the disasters not previously re
ported are two extensive washes on the Bruns
wick and Albany Railroad, between Brunswick
and Tebeauville. Large bodies of laborers are
engaged on tho breaks day and night, and the
utmost energy is displayed, but the disasters are
of such a nature that the road will not prob
ably bo in ranning order before Tuesday—if
then.
There is still a serious wash on the Gnlf Road
at Suwaneo river bridge. Tho river is fifty-
seven feet deep under the bridge—being thirty-
seven feet above low-water mark, and BtUl rising.
Superintendent Haines, with a large construction
gang, is at this point, and pile-driving machines
have been ordered to the scene of the trouble.
Considerable trestle-work will have to be built,
and, as the water is still rising it is impossible
to say when the repairs will bo finally com
pleted. Several days will probably elapse, how
ever, before tho road is restored to the condition
in which the storm found it. Tho telegraph
linesthroughont Georgia and Florida are in good
working order. The Atlantic and Gnlf Railroad
is carrying passengers throngh by making trans
fers at tho “washes.”
Yellow Feyeb at Beaufort.—We were in
formed last evening upon very reliable authori
ty, that tho yellow fever has broken ont at
Beaufort, and that it has assumed an epidemic
form. The report may bo exaggerated, but
that the disease exists there does not seem to
admit of a doubt. In this state of things, it
might bo well for onr city authorities to look
after a quarantine in that direction.
Charleston Trains not Allowed to Enter
Savannah.—Mayor Screven has notified the Sa
vannah and Charleston Railroad that hereafter
eo cars will be allowed to run throngh from
Charleston to this city. All trains from that
place for Savannah will be met by trains from
hero at Yamassee station (midway,) and no per
sons, cars, mails or articles of any kind will be
allowed to come through.
it is not known as yet whether the railroad
authorities will acoept this proposition of the
Mayor, but if they do not. however, all commu
nication between the two cities will be cat off
entirely.
The impecunious man and brother, at Au
gusta, has been reduced to the necessity of de
veloping soda fountains for a living. He sells
it as old^peial to the junk shops.
The Chronicle and Sentinel, of Sunday, says:
The Pennsylvania Central.—The Columbia
Phoenix, of yesterday, says: We learn that the
Citizens’ Savings Bank has sold the stock held
by that institution in the Charlotte, Columbia
and Augusta Railroad. It was a large lot,
amounting to nearly 1,200 shares. This seems
significant, as, we believe, Colonel Palmer is a
Director in the railroad. Rumor has it that,
with this purchase, the Pennsylvania Central—
or other parties, “whom deponent knoweth
not,” hold possession of nearly 10,000 shares—
almost a controlling interest in the Company.
A meeting of the corporators of tho Americas
and Hawkinsville railway was held at Americas
last Saturday, and organized by electing Mr.
John H. Woodward, of Dooly county, Presi
dent, and Messrs. A. S. Cutts, A. J. Lane, G.
H. Hazlehnrst, Sheppard Rogers, John H.
Woodward, John A. Cobb, and U. B. Harrold,
as a board of directors.
Mr. Fred. J. Clark, of Savannah, was killed
Saturday afternoon, by his horse stumbling and
throwing him into a ditch, and then falling upon
him. His back was broken.
We quote as follows from the Atlanta Son, of
yesterday •
Bloody Affair in Decatub.—About sixo’clock
on Saturday evening, a man by tho name of
Sizemore, a shoe-maker by trade, and another
man named Thrasher, a former Sheriff of De-
Kalb county, had an altercation in which Size*
more wa3 stabbed so severely that his life is
dispaired of. After he was ont he seized a stick
and struck Thrasher a severe blow over thehead,
inflicting an ugly wound. Thrasher has left,
and our informant states that Sizemore’s attend
ing physician says there is no hopes of his re
covery.
Both gentlemen were citizens of Decatur, and
near neighbors, and tho wives of each witnessed
tho affray. They both fainted at the bloody
scene, and the excitement created was terrible
fur that unusually quiet village.
We learn that a man named Fawcet was run
over near Stegall’s Station on tho State Road on
Saturday night, and his head literally severed
from his body by the cars. He was intoxicated,
and two bottles of whisky were found near his
person. It is supposed that he had laid down
on the track and gono to sleep.
Stegall’s Station is just above this city, in
Cobb county.
The Covingion Enterprise, of Saturday, says:
Attempted Assassination.—On tho night of
August 18th, as William Parker and Henry
Banks wero silting with some other company
in a still house, in Jasper county, where they
were engaged in distilling peaches, they were
shot by some one hidden' in the darkness, the
principal portion of tho charge taking effect on
the leg and side of Parker, and a few shot
striking Banks on the head and face.
Mr. William S. Floyd, son of Judge J. J.
Floyd, of Covington, accidentally shot himself
throngh the hand ono day last week, inflicting
a severe wound.
Dr. F. M. Cheney, of Covington, wa3 thrown
from a baggy last Monday and had his left arm
broken near the wrist.
Baldwin Superior Court.—Tho case of tho
State vs. John T. Snead, charged with Bigamy,
was called up on Friday morning* An impor
tant witness for the prosecution, Mr. Hewitt,
of tho Globe Hotel, in Augusta, did not appear.
The counsel for tho State wero, therefore, forced
to tho election of going to trial with the benefit
of tho testimony of Charles D. Cowles, (the
materiality of which hereafter appears,) and
without tho testimony of Hewitt, or to adjourn
the case to the 1st Monday in November, when
the testimony of Hewitt might be had, and that
of Cowles wanting. The trial proceeded. It
was proven by Cowles that, in-the city of New
York, in May, 1868, tho defendant introduced
to several gentlemen a lady as his wifo; and
that she habitually called at his office, after tho
business of the day was over, and was escorted
by him out of the office and throngh tho streets
of the city. It was further proven that, iu
January, 1869, tho defendant addressed a letter
from Boston to “Mrs. John T. Snead, Brook
lyn, N. Y.,” signing tho same as “Your affec
tionate Hubby.” It was also proven that the
letter was in the hand-writing of the defendant,
and was reoeived by another witness in New
York daring the past summer from Mrs. Snead,
who was in court, and identified as tho lady
whom the defendant had introduced as his wife,
and also os tho lady from whom t£e letter in
question was received.
Mr. Cowloa farther testified that, in Novem
ber last, in the city of Macon, ho met with the
defendant, whom he had not seen for several
months, and inquired of him “how and where
is Mrs. Snead now ?” Snead replied “she is very
well, and is still in New York. I will see her in
a few days, for I leave to-morrow.” During
tho month of April last, and soon after the
marriage of Snead to the lady in Milledgoville,
tho defendant met the witness, Cowles, upon
the street in Macon. In the course of their in
terview Snead said: “Charlie, I have tho
nicest young wifo in Georgia.” They soon
parted, and the witness testified that the an
nouncement astonished him. Upon meeting
him a few days afterwards, Mr. Cowles asked
him what he' meant about having ayonng wife?
The defendant answered that he had reoently
married a young lady in Georgia. Cowles re
plied, “what has become of the wife yon intro
duced me to in New York; is she dead?’
Snead, mnch agitated, replied: “We don’t do
things in New York like yon do in Georgia.” An
exemplification from the reoords of -Bedford
county, Va., was next introduced. It appeared
that in May, 1861, application was made to tho
proper authority for license for the marriage of
JohnT. Snead to Mrs. Annie H. Bobbins—the
names of the parents of tho respective parties,
their residence, condition, etc., being stated.
With this evidencq the State closed. The de
fendant introduced no testimony.
The charge of the court was unexceptionable
to the gentlemen representing the State. About
ono o'clock p. m., Saturday, the jury retired,
and in a few minutes, brought in a verdict of
u 2fot Guilty.” Tho result startled tho whole
community, as well as the court and the coun
sel for the prosecution. The excuse given for
the finding was, that there was a doubt as to
whether the lady introduced by Snead, as above
stated, into society in New York, was the same
lady whom he married in 1861, in Bedford, Vir
ginia.
Tho State was represented by Solicitor Gen
eral Jordan, Judge Joseph B. Gonder, Messrs.
Sanford & Furman, Colonel L. H. Briscoe, and
Colonel JohnB. Weems. The defendant by
Messrs. Crawford & Williamson, and Colonel
W. A. Lofton.
BY TELEGRAPH.
Plotting Against Grant.—The Savannah
Advertiser, of Friday, prints the following high
ly sensational special from Washington. It is
dated Thursday, 81st nit.:
Senators Sumner and Fenton, John A. Logan,
Governor Garey, Governor Bullock and others,
met at Auburn, New York, last night, for the
purpose of considering a plan of opposition to
the renomination of Grant. It is reported that
parties have been in correspondence with ex-
Secretary Seward, and propose to support him
as their candidate in 1872. It is said that Seward
will accept
Considering the strength some of these par
ties—Bullock for instance—can give to snch a
combination, Grant most certainly be shaking
in his shoes at the prospect
Captured Cow and Calf.—Offlocr L, H. Gar
field, of the city polioe, captured a cow and calf
yesterday from a oouplo of negroes, which, it is
believed, they stole from some one in Monroe
county. Tho negroes were endeavoring to sell
the cow, bnt as they told two or three different
taleB as to how they got possession of her, they
were both lodged in jail and tho cow and calf
are held for the identification of the owner.—
The cow is rather old, with red and wh$b spots,
and has a light red head and neck. The owner
can get them by proving property and paying
charges—this notice included.

the corresponding period of the previous year—
showing an inorease of 1,101,593 bales in faYor
of this season. Exports from all ports for the
week were 12,853 bides, against 8402 the same
week Iaat year. Total exports for the ootton

The weather reports from the South during
the week show that less rain has fallen, and in
many sections it has been dry. Less c
is made of caterpillars. Picking is progressing
actively, especially in the far South. It is diffi-
cut to state the exact condition of the crop at
the present time, as aco'ounts from the South
are conflicting. In some sections the reports
ore favorable, and in others tho reverse. Cot
ton was generally strong daring the week, with
a gradual and steady advance iu prices. The
sales for the week reached 90,500 bales, of
which 81,000 bales were for future delivery,
and 9500 bales on the spot and to arrive. Of
the spot ootton exporters took 4125 bales, spin
ners 3475 and speculators 425.
New York, September 3.—The leaders of the

board is taking prompt measures to repair tho
light houses damaged by the cyclone.
Mobile, September 3.—Dispatches published
os coming from Mobile, stating that several

here, nor has there been this season. No such
message orginated here.
Santa Fee, September 3.—The Post yester
day had tho following correspondence from
Lamsilla: “The election excitement in this vil
lage culminated to-day in tho worst affray ever
witnessed here. It is no exaggeration to say
that tho Plaza has been literally drenohed with
human blood. At tho present writing (Sunday
evening, 27th) it is known that seven persons
have been killed, whilo its estimates of the
wounded will reach as high as thirty, of whom
seven or eight are fatally. From 5 o’clock this
afternoon until 6 the Flaza resounded with pis
tol shots and groans. For 15 minutes the firing
was incessant and continued during the rest of
the hour. Tho Republican and Democratic
parties had each selected to-day as the most
suitable timo for tho grand demonstration of
the campaign, and at an early hour this morn-
iDg both parties commenced their preparations.
Tho leaders were evidently desirous of averting
disturbances. Tho respective parties formed in
procession and passed each other’s place of meet
ing withont an outbreak, and nothing happened
till the meetings had adjourned. At 5 p. m. both
parties met in the Flaza and exchanging differ
ent views a pistol shot wa3 fired, when a general
fight occurred. Men, women and children hur
ried to their houses, but the fight was kept up
from windows and housetops, tho dead and
wounded falling on all sides. Hon. John Lemon,
the Republican candidate for judge, v/as tho
first killed. Tho balance of the killed and
wounded aro mostly Mexicans. Another fight
took place at Antoncbico, near Los Vegas, in
which two persons wore killed and six or seven
wounded. Tho people aro evidently excited
here, but everything is being done to preserve
peace and good order.”

“Hearn that the New York Herald of this

foundation. There is not now, nor has been,
any yellow fever in Savannah the present year,
and the city is freer of disease of any kind and
healthier than in any previous year. A retrac
tion of the statement of the Herald, so far as
Savannah is concerned, is requested.

everybody. In a personal conversation, the
King assured me, that he desired Spain to be
well understood in the United States, and that
friendship would exist between the two countries,

Emperors at Salzburg. The Emperor of Aus
tria leaves for that city to-morrow.
Cotton Receipts.—There were reoeived by
the various warehouses in Macon daring the
last cotton year, 99,446 bales, against 80,129
for the proceeding year, showing an increase of
receipts for the cotton year just closed of 19,-
317 bales. On the first of September, 1870,
there had been received 73 bales of the new
crop. On the first instant only 12 bales of the
new crop had been received, thus showing the
lateness of the season, or an indisposition on
the part of planters to rush their cotton to mar
ket as they did laet year.
In this connection we might Btate that the
cow cotton year opens with much more favora
ble prospects for the planter than the old. On
the first of September, 1870, nearly every plan
ter was heavily indebted to his faotor or mer
chant, and this market was literally flooded with
his warehouse acceptances, or other paper. For
tunately, however, there was a large crop com-
ing forward to redeem the paper, and right no
bly and promptly was it done, be it said to the
planter’s credit. Now, however, the obligations
of the planter, as a general thing, are light,
and he will have no trouble in meeting his bills.
It is true he will enter the market with a shor,
crop, but he will find better prices for his staple,
and provisions, should he need any, at less than
one-half of what they were one year ago. Then
bacon was strong at 19*; now it is doll at 9
cents. Then oom was worth $1 S5@$l 40; now
it can be bought at $1 00 per bushel. Then
bagging was worth 35@37* cents per yard; now
it can be bought by the roll at 24 cents. Taking
all these things, therefore, into consideration,
he most, or ought to feel, that he has made a
long Btride forward during the cotton year
which closed on the 31st nit., notwithstanding
the fact that at the close of his year's labor, he
finds a short crop on hand. The difference in
the prioe he will receive for it, and the enor
mous difference inthe prioe of provisions, eto.,
will net him more dear cash, than if he had
made a crop of 5,000,000 instead of 3,000,000
bales.
In the summer of 1862 a merry party from
New Bedford, including two gentlemen who aro
now distinguished residents of New York, met
at Fotomska, nine miles below that place. 'While
dipping water from the spring, one of them
dropped a valuable diamond from his shirt ruffle
in running water about three feet deep, bat
made no effort for its recovery, deeming it irre
trievably lost. In the succeeding summer, July
4, 1863, a party of nearly the same persons met
at the same place, and as a matter of joko
stirred np tho sands of the spring, when, lo!
tho missing jewel appeared, to the delight of the
aBtonished owner.
There is a story of an English tourist who
entered a restaurant and by a few scraps of
Fieneh was able to order a dinner. He wished
seme mushrooms—very delicious and large. Not
knowing the name, he demanded a sheet of pa
per and pencil and sketched one. The waiter
understood him in a second, disappeared for ten
minutes, and returned with a splendid—um
brella!

From Ilona ton County.
Houston County, Ga., August 30, 1871
Editors Telegraph and Messenger: I see in
this morning's issue, addressed to “Mr. Local,
a pieoe from “Bed Cloud,” giving the planters
advice. I am a planter, and have been for sev
eral years, have worked slaves, free negroes and
white men, and am satisfied that I cannot make
money planting cotton. I am going to quit the
business after this year—intend tolook out “for
greener fields and pastures new. "
I agree with “Bed Cloud,” in what he says
about the New York and Liverpool “Bing,” and
about the Agricultural Bureau. But his advice
to farmers is unnecessary. Any free negro who
is farming knows there will not be 3,000,000
bales of ootton made this year. The calcula
tions of speculators, bureaus, etc., notwith
standing—they are all combined against the
farmer. They are for making their per cent,
out of the crop, and will do it. "We cannot help
it in onr present stand point. Our crop was
sold last spring to the warehousemen and bank
ers. We have no “balance” to hold till next
spring to get the promised twenty-five cents.
“Bed Olond" says, “sell enough cotton to
meet all and every commercial obligation, and
hold the balanoe for 25 oents per ponnd.” I am
sure, Messrs. Editors, that “Red Clond” is no
farmer, or is not posted on the financial stand
ing of the fanner, or he would not be talking
about the “balanoe.” We have no “balance.”
We would be more than happy to have a “bal-
lanee"in order that we might “balance” all, and
with everyone. Nine-tenths of the ootton plan
ters are running their farms on borrowed capi
tal. Bj the first day of January next n majority
of the present crop must be turned over to the
warehousemen, bankers, etc. As I before stated,
onr crops aro already sold. Bankers must get
their per cent, speculators must come in for
their share, eto. All aro directly interested in
the crop. Speculators, bankers, warehousemen,
etc., get one-third—give one-third for labor, and
the poor farmer gets the remainder one-third
for his services, rent of land, use of stock, wear
and tear of plantation tools, eto. It is ridiou-
Ious, it i3 shameful, it is hellish in its principle;
bnt the poor farmer must stand it, he is work
ing to support the “world and the balance of
mankind.”
If “Red Cloud” has a “balance” he is a lucky
man, and will have plenty of money uextspring,
ife I will seo his hand on twenty-five cents be
fore next Juno and go him one hundred better.
Cotton is bound to soil for twenty-fivo or thirty
cents next spring; that is as plain as the nose
on a man’s face, but we will be forced to sell for
fifteen or twenty cents this fall. I will back my
judgment with one thousand acres of laud that
there will not be three millions of bales of cotton
made, and that it will sell for twenty-five cents
before the first day of May next.
Bat before I close, Me3srs. Editors, I will say
a few words about the “new departure." When
ever yon depart from tho truo principles of the
Democratic party of 1870 and lug in the Four
teenth and Fifteenth Amendments as a compro
mise, we who “fought the good fight” and still
keep the faith, depart from you.
Gray Cloud.
Letter from Taylor Connty.
Taylor County, Ga., September 1.
Editors Telegraph and Messenger ; As this
county is seldom heard from, and beiug “moved
by the spirit” only on thi3 occasion, since I
wrote you a sketch over seven years ago, at 3 6
years old, from Houston—to exhibit my vanity
once more to tho august trio of the Telegraph
and Messenger, by inditing a few notes on tho
“ situation” here. Crops here are only mid
dling—“strictly middling.” Corn will bo more
abundant than last year—there being a larger
area in cultivation than last year. Cotton, so
far as I have observed, will probably yield five-
eighths of an average crop, or one-half of a
good crop. There will not be gathered, at most,
over five-eighths of a commonly good crop in
this connty, at least so far as I have heard and
seen. Its deadliest foes, viz: black and red
rust and the boll worm, have played sad havoo
with both plant and fruit within the past three
weeks.
My crop, with advantages of lot litter and 150
pounds of guano per acre, will not yield more
than 110 pounds'lint to tho acre on bottom land.
We calculated to get a bale to two acres. So it
can be seen again (at least by interesteipartieB)
“that the best plans of men and mice often
fail.” There is a patch of six acres in view of
where I am writing that looks as naked as if a
November frost had fell upon it— eat up by the
rust.
We see accounts in your well conduoted jour
nal of various county fairs. Why Is it O, re
nowned and irrepressible Taylor, that you don’t
shake off the manacles of your lethargic stupor
and indifference to the demands of the age in
which yon live, and rise in your yet latent might
and majesty and make one grand and determined
effort to catch up with your sister counties in
their onward march for the goal of a higher civ
ilization and progress in agriculture and the arts
by which we can and should live independent of
the world?
M. O.
High, Low, Jack—-Whohas the Game?
Editors Telegraph and Messenger: Some of
your readers were not a little nonplussed to sea
either the good sense or sound policy of the
Macon and Western Railroad lease by the Cen
tral ; and somo ventured to predict that it
would certainly lead to the building of the At'
lanta and Savannah Air Line. However, a
majority of stock and the courts decided to
tho contrary, and now what is the demonstra
tion? Just a3 predicted by the minority. (This
is by no means the .first time a minority has
been right) Wa are informed, credibly, that
the Atlanta and Savannah Railroad has made a
fusion with certain Northern capitalists, (this
minority may be tbese capitalists) and that con
tracts have been signed, sealed and delivered,
for the building of the Atlanta and Savannah
Railroad from Atlanta to Monticello, thence to
Macon direct; and of course the Macon and
Brunswick Railroad stands again well np in the
piotnres, bnt where is the Macon and Western
gone to? Now, sirs, this line is sixteen miles
shorter than tho Macon and 'Western, and is
bound to divide, if not to destroy, its business.
The course pursued by the majority, against the
protest r.f this city and the minority of the
stockholders of the Maoon ana Western Rail
road, has brought its fruits near maturity soon
er than we expected, that’s all. Who has tho
game ? Minority.
Wtaat Senator Thnrman Did Say.
It having been reported by telegraph that in a
late speech this gentleman had planted himself
on tho “Bourbon” platform with respect to the
position the National Democratic party should
occupy towards what are known as the 14th and
15th amendments to the Federal Constitution,
he has famished the editor of the Golambns (O.)
Statesman with a revised copy of his speech,
showing exactly what he did say, and here it is:
Now, my friends, it has been common for the
Republican parly of this country to say that the
Democrats have taken a now departure, and
that new departure, they allege, comists iu say
ing that we have been wrong and the Republi
cans have been right. I say there has never
been any such confession as that. We aro as
mnch opposed to what has done as when wo
gave our votes againat it. Why, if I should see
a man strike another in an unlawful and brutal
manner, in the street, throttle him and knock
him down, and trespass upon hi3 rights, and I
should see his wounds and bruises, and see him
bleeding, I should be compelled to say that he
was down and bleeding, bnt who would call that
a confession that the villain who had outraged
him had done what was proper ? [Laughter.]
So when these men throttled the Constitution
and mined thepeaoe of tho country—when they
made the South almost as rainons as in the
midst of war—wo remonstrated and opposed
them; and now, because we cannot deny that
they have done it, because we cannot deny that
the thing has been accomplished, because we
are compelled to admit tho fact that the recon
struction laws have been executed aud that the
amendments to the Constitution have been fas
tened upon us, we are told, forsooth, that we
admit that the Radicals were right and we were
wrong. That’s logio for yon.
If we understand the red hot theory it is,
that these amendments have not been fastened
upon ns, and that all wo have to do to get rid
of them is to Bhrag'our shoulders a few times
and off they will roll; or if that fails, to just
make affidavit that they are not, and have never
been there at all I
An enormous woman, one Carolina Heenan*,
Is now on exhibition in London. Her age is
said to be tweenty-two years, and weight 560
rounds. She measures seven feet around the
x>dy twenty-six inches around the arm, and
throe feet six inches across the shoulders. It is
added that, unlike most fat people, the large
lady is able to sustain great physical exertion, is
“handsome and pleasing” and “highly intelli
gent," hot in tho least “drowsy,” nor is her
;face “fat and greasy.”
The First Monument to the Co»
erate Dead.
Fort Gaines, Ga., Sept. 3
Editors Telegraph and Messenger : t,
my good fortune to be present on the 1-1
August,, at the erection of the first mo^
to the Confederate dead. Where ? X m,
asked. “No newspaper gave notice of
event. We have heard of no gifted omw
ing called upon for such an occasion-,
could it have been?” Trne, to the
people who have thus honored their dead’ 1
heroes are unknown. They live almost £
Bounty. But they are descendants of ,
parentage—the sons and daughters of that?
band who, for “the love of Jesus,” with
the wildest storms of persecution the wotlj :
ever beheld They are the children of thei
covenanters," and that pure Scotch blood 1
courses through their veins. I would not- 1
my back upon the history of that grand v
Kirk o’ Scotland,” that glorious “charter oa
Christendom,” for all the new fangled w)
the nineteenth century combined. I am ek
er to know that my forefathers took parting
struggle for religious liberty, than to]
known that they were kings. In August j,
tho “Ladies’ Memorial Association of X\'l
oounty,” Florida, was organized as an anrs
to the State Association, whose object
erect a monument in Tallahassee. Soon >
ever, the parent asssooiation collapsed an]
funded to the county auxiliaries the cc
they had forwarded to its officers.
True to their Scottish nature, the lyy
County Association determined to have a e-
ment of their own. But what obstacles toe
oome—what difficulties to surmount!
was not a connty in the State poorer thant,
Lying afthe enemy’s meroy for two or u
years, raid after raid made havoc with a]]|
people had. They were poor indeed, anh
do I remember that on the day the assoc:!;
was organized many of the ladies present!
dressed in homespun—the finest dresses l'
calico. Entertainments of various kinds 1
gotten np—week after week they toiled, butv
slow was the growth of their “money bar"
Four years have rolled around and they >
one thousand dollars only. That was a s.
amount, to be sure, but they decided to b
such a monument as they could with it-
did so, and on tho 17th of August it wase
in front of Euchee Valley Church. TbeJ
house of worship ever erected in the oocdj
Near by is the old burial ground wheras]'
the fathers and mothers of many whose t_
were inscribed upon that tablet of marble.;
monnmont is of beautiful material
spot or blemish,” about three feet square a]
base, aud about eleven feet high. On the 5
side is inscribed:
“In memory of the Confederate dead of!
ton county. Erected by the Ladies’ Mei
Association.” And jost beneath, the '
lines: -
‘When tho spirit freo deserts the body as it
What matter where tho lifeless form diaeolws
again to duet?
Twere sweet indeed to close our eyes with
cherish near,
And wafted upward by their eiglia soar to
calmer sphere;
But whether on the scaffold high or in the battled
The fittest place where man can die is whereby
for man.”
On either side are the names of those
gave their lives for the “lost cause'’—a bj
long list. I saw there sisters standing torn
reading the names upon the stone—amoag i
three of their brothers who sleep amid theh
grass plains of Kentucky. A mother
ay looking at the names of two sons (pr:
they were, too) whose graves aro in the
tains of Tennessee and Alabama. Another
er reading over the names of two of her
boys, ono of whom we had loved to hono!i«
whose death brought tears from hard ~
soldiers whoso eyes had been dry for yean
was, indeed, a day long to be remembered,
exercises were opened with prayer by Eer.
P. Harrison, after which addresses were
by W. O. McLean, Esq., and Mr. John L
Kinnon, Jr. Just in front of the speakers'
was an old Confederate flag at half zSS
—draped in mourning. Both the addr-a,;
were couched in beautiful language, ad'
nnfrequently the unbidden tear would
down tho cheek as they alluded to the
ones they had met to honor. The exi
wero closed with prayer by Mr. Scudder,
all were invited to partake of a smn
dinner that had been prepared. There
present about one thousand people, and
they had all been filled there could have
gathered of tho fragments more than
baskets full. After the dinner was ended i
crowd began to disperse, and scon all werep
away feeling proud of their county, espec
tho ladies of the connty. Thus by patience
perseverance has been accomplished what
seemed almost an impossibility. The Wi
Connty Association, I am informed, is the
one in the State which has even so much as
tained an organization, and yet tho conniv
but eleven votea for secession, aud so pi
were her delegates to the Secession Conn
in their opposition to the action of tho com
that tho oounty was sneeringly called Li
instead of Walton. They saw no reason for
policy in secession, and they fought against
but once out they were as true to tho Conk’
ate as they had been to the United States
eminent. And now isn’t this a lesson to
Southern people generally? Will you li
leave your sons unhonored ? Will you erect
monument to their memory ? But the prim'
part of the lesson is this: These poor
resorted to no lotteries nor distribution
erect their monument. They did it with the
bor of their hands. Isn't it shameful to &
lottery connected with a monumental assy
tion ? Georgia, can’t you erect a monumeu
year heroes’ memory without resorting to 1c-
and other gambling, schemes ? Don’t, for!
sake of your departed ones, so disgrace j«
