Pise County.—A dispatch from Mr. Swatt’s
at Bamesville to CoL Simmons dated yesterday
says, “Pike gives yon 750 majority, Tinley re
ceiving only SC votes.”
Pboyided Fob.—The Baltimore American is
intensely Grant Radical and has good ground for
it. The editor and his immediate connections
divide among themselves §33,100 in the way of
official salaries and emoluments. It i3 a fine
thing to seo virtue rewarded.
Loss or Population by the Civil Wab.—Ac
cording to Superintendent Kennedy the popula
tion of the United States, by the normal rate of
increase should have been in 1870, 42,328,432,
butitactually was only 38,555,983, showinga loss
of 3,772,449 to bo ascribed to the civil war.
The news from France is important. Thiers,
in a special message, is represented as virtu
ally appealing to the Deputies in behalf of a
return to monarchical institutions. The Dep
uties responded by laaghing at him. A bill has
passed proroguing the Assembly from the 17th
of September to the 4tb of December.
Gbant in Illinois.—The Chicago Republican
is a Radical paper, but very malicious in it3 op
position to Grant. Says the Republican:
If anybody wants to seo a little fun, let him
introduce a resolution endorsing Gen. Grant
for renomination in the Republican State Con
vention. He had better first send for brother-
in-law Casey and the “trupes.”
B. Gbatz Bbown.—A terrible hullibaloo is
going on for B. Gratz Brown for President.
The New Orleans Times and Richmond Whig
are for B. Gratz Brown. So is Frank Blair. So
is ex-Secretary Gideon Welles—Gideon has
written a letter for him. The fcot is B. G.
Brown's initials are telling in his favor. Beat
Grant Brown. What do you think of B. Gratz
Brown ? Hurrah for B. Gratz Brown. Match
him with a Smith and it would beat a popular
ticket. Everybody would know the ticket.
Brown & Smith.
How it was Done.—A Knoxville correspond
ent wants to know how many miles of that West
ern Railroad were changed from broad to com
mon gango in a single day, and how it was done.
About 500 miles. We havo no time to hunt up
the figures. Every other spike was previously
drawn—the new line marked and holes bored.
Then on Sunday morning in grey dawn, a gang
of twelve to each mile being then and there pre
viously posted, fell to work and finished the new
alignment a little after eleven o'clock in the
morning. That was the way of it, speaking
from memory.
The Safety of De. Liyingsone.—Sir Roder
ick Murchison publishes the following letter
from Dr. Kirk, at Zanzibar, dated July 19,1871:
I can, I regret to say, give no farther accounts
of Livingstone. What last I wrote about his
viBit to that little known place west of Tangan
yika, i3 confirmed, and tho Arabs from that
qaarter seem to count him quite one of tho res
idents of those places. There is certainly no
ill-feeling on tho part of the Arabs to him. The
little jealously they seem to have shown at first
has passed off, and I sent a letter a few days
ago by the first caravan of tho season to Ujiji.
Do not despair. The Doctor is moving slowly,
but safely; ho evidently feels his way, and is
determined to leavo little donbts behind him
this time.
Another terrible mystery is perplexing the
New York detectives, and promises to become
of a3 absorbing public interest as the tragedy of
the body in the trunk. On Tuesday morning,
9th inst., the body of a young, well-dressed and
beautiful lady -was found on the Long Island
beach, near Cold Spring. There were evidences
of murder and perhaps of outrage proceeding it.
At tho coroner’s inquest nothing definite was
ascertained, except that one of the rings on the
lady's finger was engraved with tho initials J.
H. It wa3 surmised that the deceased had been
thrown overboard from some ono of the yachts
ernising tho day before in tho harbor. Circum
stances begin to connect this tragedy with the
fate of Miss Jennie Hicks, the most ft&hionable
dressmaker of Troy, who unaoconntably disap
peared from her home on Saturday, the 2d in
stant. Further developments will be awaited
with anxiety.
Bibb County Election.
Tho following figures are reported to us by
Mr. Busbee, ono of tho inspectors:

Rain and Clouds.—Rain and clouds all tho
time. There has not been half a day’s cotton
picking weather thi3week. Yesterday, it rained
all day. Cotton, we aro informed, is to some
extent sprouting in the field where it has been
blown ont. Talk of three million bales! It is
preposterous.
The Galaxy, fob October, was received yes
terday. This number contains Mr. Greeley’s
artiole on the one term principle, and several
other readable papers.
Mb. John Roberts, the senior proprietor of
the Nashville Banner, died at his residence near
that city yesterday. An English printer, and
the membor of a London family conspicuous
for its achievements in mechanic arts, he went
to Tennessee when a very yonng man, and cast
his fortunes in tho capital of the State. He
was connected with the Nashville press during
forty years. No man stoodhigher for business,
integrity and personal worth. His death will
create very sincere and very oxtensive regret.
Mr. Roberts ha3 sot token an active part in his
business the last year or two, having made a
protracted visit to England, and devoting much
of his time, on his return, to agricultural pur
suits. His life was long and prosperous, and
he qnits the world leaving the example of well-
directed energies and thorough probity, along
with an ample fortune, to his children.
[Courier Journal.
J. Edgar Thompson of the Pennsylvania
Central Railway is said to be one of the calmest
and most peraerving of men, always preserving
silence himself, and making others talk without
asking questions. An English capitalist, having
business with the railway magnate, was told by
a wag that Thompson liked to do all the talking,
and the result was that, in an interview of fif
teen minutes, not twenty words were spoken.
When the Briton came out the wag inquired his
opinion of the railway financier. “He seems
to be ah idiot," was the response. Thompson,
questioned respecting the Englishman, express
ed the opinion that he must be q Trappist.
A correspondent of the Detroit Post has just
been to Ober Ammergan to see the Passion
play. The place was crowded with Americans
and English. This correspondent while there
roomed with Judas Iscariot, and “it was owing
to his influence that Americans have this year
been forbidden to go behind the scenes and talk
with the actresses.”
The mesquit bean crop of Western Texas, it
is reported, Is very large this year, equaling the
great crop of I860. At present every tree and
bush is bending nnder the weight of the beans,
upon which the horses and cattle are feeding
with great relish. This mesquit beaD, is said,
makes excellent winter food for stock, and many
persons are collecting them for that purpose.
The Late Special Election
Is not without ft moral. The idea underlying
the nomination of Mr. Tinley was to divide the
white vote and secure a more numerous and in
fluential white element to the Radical organiza
tion in this region. The movement originated
with the MnlattoRegency in Macon. JeffLong
was the engineer and secured the nomination,
and then did his best to rally the African legion
to its support. He called a ratification assem
blage in this city on Tuesday night, and -was
/.hoirmnn of the meeting whioh was numerous
ly attended, and he made a flaming speech in
behalf of the nominee. Bat he failed misera
bly. The opposition attacked him without
mercy so soon a3 he had taken his seat. He
writhed and groaned and called them to order
in vain. They pinned him to his chair and put
iiiTn through a course of sprouts which made
hirrij for the nonce, several shades whiter with
wrath and mortification. The next day, how
ever, they did Jeff still less honor, by letting his
candidate alone severely not only in Bibb coun
ty, but oven still more in other parts of the
District. Look at Monroe and Pike.
The charge wa3 that Mr. Tinley had never
been known as a Radical—and it was true; but
we venture to say aDy white nominee would not
have met with a much better fate unless at the
expense of thorough social, a3 well as political,
identification with tho negro Radicals. The
negro politicians are very naturally tired out
with being played in the interests of an insigni
ficant white minority, and the whites who un
dertake to manage them in that line hereafter,
have got to go down considerably below their
knees in Ethiopean demagoguery.
Tho extraordinary unanimity with which, all
over an extensive district of three large conn ties,
in a few days’ notice, without publication or
resolution to that effect, they all with ono con
sent dropped Tinley into the mud, ought to be
an awfnl warning to men who fancy they can
pander and patch up compromises and bargains
for their own or the public advantage with tho
negroes.
Some have said that the price of harmonious
political alliance with the negroes is an equal
social alliance. Bat even that is very donbtfnl.
All history and experience show that the jeal
ousy and antagonism of color pervades even the
colored people, and half-breeds aro proscribed
by the blacks. San Domingo and Jamaica il
lustrate this proposition. Tho white man, or
white party, then, who knuckles and compro
mises with negro parties and politicians will be
miserably disappointed at last
The negroes will, to some extent, support
white candidates. A considerable number of
them voted for Simmons. But they are not go
ing to support white candidates on an equality
basis. Some of them will vote for whites from
motives of respect for superior qualifications
and position; but when white candidates come
down to the African basis they prefer their own
color. Tho idea of a grand political amalgam
is as preposterons as that of a grand social amal
gam. The price of both to tho whites'would be
only the contempt of the negroes.
There is bat ono coarse to pursue. Let the
whites of Georgia stand shoulder to shoulder—
maintain their supremacy and exercise it right
eously for the benefit of all. Any other course
is ruinous. Think of that time apprehended by
some of our best men, when two equally divided
white parties shall go into the arena for negro
votes as a floating balance of party power. Years
ago there were about ahundredorso white “float
ers” in Bibb who, day3 before the election, were
•penned by the rival parties and kept wallowing in
whisky. Can any man contemplate any similar
position for any considerable part of the negro
TOter in Georgia without horror? To have all pub
lic questions decided in that way would be horri
ble. Bat what a misfortune to the negroes them
selves,and to every industrialinterest of tbeState
to have that population exposed to such corrupt
ing and demoralizing conditions. We entreat the
respectable whites of this State to stand to
gether—not so much for mere party interest as
In behalf of every great interest of society, in
cluding that of the negroes themselves.
Repnbllcaii Economy.
Gen. Geo. W. Morgan, of Ohio, met Senator
Sherman’s boasts about Republican economy
and lessening taxation, with a terrible expose of
these hollow pretences. He shows that daring
the four years of the war, they raised §712,000,-
000 by taxation, and in the first year of peace
thereafter §619,000,000, and during tho four
years succeeding tho war they collected §1,174,-
000,000 more than daring tho four years of war.
That since the war there has been drawn by
taxation by the Government at Washington ont
of tho labor and resources of the people, §2,-
700,000,000. Nearly doable tho whole amount
of the entire expenditures of the Federal Gov
ernment for tho period of eighty years, from
the first inauguration of George Washington to
the close of the late war. That ont of this vast
amount only §800,000,000 of the debt have been
paid, leaving §2,400,000,000 as general expen
ditures. In a word, that since the war money
exceeding the whole amount of the national
debt has been wrung from the people in taxes,
and all except §300,000,000 gone in current ex
penses. Gem. Morgan says:
“I will suggest t. measure—a standard by
which you can convey to jour own minds some
idea oi what the sum of §2,70u,ooo,000 means.
Citizens, from, ilia time of the inauguration of
George Washington down to the inauguration
of Abraham Lincoln, a period of over eighty
years, the entire expenditures ot Um Federal
Government, including the cost of the tlu-aa
years war with England, the two years war with
Mexico, tho thirty years of Indian wars—less
payments on the public debt—was less than
§1,400,000,000. And yet we find that the men
in power, in six years of uninterrupted peace—
peace at home, and peace with the world—ex
torted from the people in that brief space of
time, §1,300,000,000 more than was expended
during the entire time of our history from
Washington down to Lincoln.
“What has gone with this fearful sum ? What
has gone with that fabnlons amount of money?
We know where it came from—from the pockets
of the people; from the toil of the people;
from the industry of tho people. Where has it
gone ? I have called and call again upon Sena
tor Sherman to tell the people what has become
of those §2,700,000,000. He don’t reply; he
will not reply, because his answer, if truthful,
would raiso a hurricane whioh would sweep him
and his from power.
**‘Why,’ says someone, ‘we have a great
debt; ua require thi3 §2,700,000,000 to pay
that debt.'- .Yes, my friends, but §2,700,000,-
000 is §300,000,000 more than the whole debt.
The debt is less than §2,400,000,000, and in
six years of peace Si.«rman and his allies have
collected from you §2,700.000,000. How much
of the debt did they pay ? Up to the first day
of tho present month of August, tho entire re
duction of the public debt amounta to only
about §300,000,000. Now take that amount
from twenty-seven hundred millions and you
have twenty-four hundred millions left What
has beocme of it ? Whoso pockets has it filled ?
Whose splendid palaces has it built ? Who are
the men that riot in luxury upon this fabulous
amount of money taken from the people in the
shape of taxation?”
A Bean Town.—Beverly, Massachusetts, says
a correspondent, is known as “Bean Town.” No
virtuous citizen of that place thinks of passing
Sunday morning without baked pork and beans
for breakfast. Formerly they went to the dif
ferent bakeries Saturday nights, each man with
his bean pot. Each pot was cumbered with a
check as received and tho number given to the
owner, and orowds would gather around the
bakery door. Sunday morning, each man call
ing his numbtuind reoeiving his pot. Bat now
they have a pdmtjr.in the town, and each house
holder has had-tts bfean pot made to order, with
his name or initials baked into the side, and the
plan works beautifully. The bakers charge six
cents for baking beans, and it is no mean source
of revenue.
THE GEORGIA PRESS.
Gbofs in Lowndes County.—The Valdosta
Tim an 0 f the 12th sayS that for four or five
weeks past they have bad almost a continued
storm. Many farmers will not make more than
one-fourth of a crop. A gentleman told us yes
terday, who always has a good crop, that the
late storm has destroyed one-half that portion
of his crop that former maladies had left.
The Tidal Wave.—The Savannah Advertiser
sounds the alarm about that great tidal wave,
and thinks it would be just as well to be getting
ready for it. But how get ready? The first
point in order it seems to us, would be to ascer
tain whether in fact Agassiz ever bazared suoh
a prediction. We have never seen it, and only
read of it in the New Orleans papers. The
philosopher is not at home just now. He is en
gaged, if we are not mistaken, in making some
explorations on the Pacifio coast. Bat if he has
made any such prediction somebody must be
able to pnt his finger on it. Let ns see it, and
then we can next consider what practical con
sequences should result from it.
The Morning News of same date says:
It was rumored on the street yesterday that a
special dispatch had been received from Prof.
Agassiz, stating that the great tidal wave would
be here a few days earlier than was at first sup
posed, in consequence of which many of our
people are going wild upon the subject of high
places.
We have heard of a great many who have
been moving up stairs, while every one argues
that it will be expedient to dwell upon the house
tops for a few days. • Another preparation we
see being made for the memorable event is the
pinning and bracing of the Exohonge portico
to keep it, as the Clerk of Council informs us,
from washing away.
Here is a grand speculation for somebody. If
some enterprising genius like old man Noah
would come into onr midst, he could make a
good thing ont of this—-you bet. By the way, we
understand that all the spare rooms of the Ex
change havo been reserved for the use of His
Honor, the Mayor, and the Board of Aldermen.
John Cooper, the negro highwayman, who
committed the murderous assault on the little
white boy Dooner, has been arrested and im
prisoned. The News says:
We learn that a white man living in this city,
whose name for the present we withhold from
the public, so far forgot himself on last Sunday
—forgot that he was a man—forfeited all claims
he ever held to the name of gentleman—if he
ever possessed any, which we very much doubt
—by getting into an altercation with his wife,
the woman whom he had sworn to love and
protect, and ent her severely on the head with
an ax, inflioting a painful, if not mortal wound.
Columbus Cotton Receipts of Tuesday were
fifteen bales against 123 the corresponding day
last year. Total receipts up to Tuesday were
11S bales.
Mrs. Louisa V. Mulford, wife of Mr. Dads
Mnlford, and only daughter and eldest child of
Mr. R. L. Mott, died in Coiambus on Friday.
Railway Dot.—The Enquirer learns through
President McDougaid that there is now a pros
pect for a joint track between Columbus and
Hamilton for the North and South and Columbus
and Atlanta Air Line Railroads, as both corpor
ations are in a fair way to come to equitable
terms.
Dawson Cab Wobes.—The Enquirer says;
Mr. O. O. Nelson, of Dawson, proprietor of the
car works at that place, informed us on Tuesday
that he had the contract for building about one
hundred freight cars for the Bainbridge, Cuth-
bert and Columbus Railroad, a number of which
have already been finished. The passenger cars
for the read are being built at Wilmington.
Twelve narrow gauge engines havo been ordered
in New York and Philadelphia. Mr. Nelson also
contemplates starting a foundry for the manu
facture of car wheels as soon as the Montgom
ery and Eufanla Railroad will open np to him
the Alabama iron and coal mines. Such an es-
tabliskment in bis section will doubtless pay.
The Atlanta Snn says that A. L. Harris was
arrested on Saturday last on affidavit of CoL G.
W. Lee, charging him as a “common thief and
swindler." Lee alleges that property sold by
him to Harris was paid for in property of the
Western and Atlantic Railroad.
Damage to Mill Property.—'The Hawkins-
ville Dispatch says Dunaway’s mills, in Dooly
county, were washed away last week, and this
large escape of water forcing itself upon Foun
tain’s mills, washed away about twenty-five feet
of tho dam between the two mills. The dam
was cut on tho opposite side of the saw mill,
and also about thirty-five feet on that side washed
away. We may expect to hear of considerable
destruction to water mill property throughout
the country. Many thousand fish have certainly
gone with the water from Fountain’s pond.
Hon. Thomas Hardeman has consented to de
liver the annual address to the Cartersville Fair
Association. We dip the following from the
Standard of the 14th:
Eight more new cars are now on the stocks at
the car factory. Success is now beyond a
problem.
The cotton crop of this section will not much
exceed half of last year’s yield.
A Heavy Contract.—We understand the oar
factory have a contract for famishing the Nash
ville and Chattanooga Railroad with one hun
dred freight cars, and that they will soon bo
able to turn ont six cars per week. This looks
like business.
The Gastein Conference—An Inter*
view with Bismarck.
New Yore, September 9.—The Gastein cor
respondent of the London Telegraph gives the
following account of-an interview with Bis
marck:
“Prince, I need not tell yon that all Europe
has its eyes on Gastein, and is eager to know
what tho people do there.”
“People bathe there and take oare of their
health.”
"Et apres, yes, et apres tom etes tovjours
camme caf
“Well, I will tell you. The King is always, I
observe, with M. de Bismarok. The King and
myself have really come for the baths, but we
axe only too glad to receive the Austrian officials,
and to assure them of our beet consideration.
With Austria we had no quarrel, even when she
began her ill-advised war in 1866. We it* her
off with the paltry ransom of 2,000,000. AH
is forgotten and forgiven, and we have so many
interests in common that we must be friends.
As snch we receive and are received here. With
the Austrians we always wish to he friends;
with the French we never were and never will
be friends.”
“I wonder if you Germans know how utterly
you have beaten the French, yet how bitterly
they hate you, and how they believe that they
can efficiently attack you very shortly ?”
“Neither their people nor their papers will
leave us in ignorance of these facts. Bnt if they
prove, as they are trying to prove, that they are
not enough beaten, we will do it at once. In
fact, there is a question, even to-day, of our
sending more troops into their territory. They
are murdering onr men now in some of the
provinces, and protect oorselves we can and
wilL France,” proceeded tho prince, “Is al
ways asking for lime for payment and other
concessions from ns, and if we ask for any
thing the answer i3: ‘No instructions.’ They
have not a man, political, civil or military, and
they know nothing. The other day we would
have given way on tho question of tho ratifica
tion of the frontier, but they blundered it, and
the time is past”
I then spoke of Russia. M. de Bismarck ut
terly confides in the good faith of tho present
emperor as “a man of good works, who has not
yet completed them; notably, the railway sys
tem—a man of peace, essentially of peace.
Russia, too, is so vast a country that farther
extension of it will weaken it. Yet the railways
are the point. So Russia must either fall back
on her centre, or extend her skirmishers. At
any rate the she must do something. France
would buy any alliance at any price. She is in
the 50 per cent, category, and I hear that it is
coming.”
“In London the Russian grand duke spoke
strongly of the future, which Europe must fear.”
“I comprehend; but the heir to the throne is
never the same man when he gets on the throne,
and the grand dukes are eohoes without original
sound.” •
Here the prince had to go driving with his
emperor.
How pleasant a surprise it is, says the Ohicago
Post, to see the miracle of novel motion in ob-
jects that are usually inanimate! We have seen
a rope walk, a note run, a watch spring, a horse
fly and a Saratoga hop, and next summer we
shall go over theRockeyes to see the Big Trees
leave and the Pacifio slope. 1
LETTER FBOH VIRGINIA.
The Tomb of Jefferson—Gordonsville—Cal-
pepper—Cedar Mountain—Condition of
Virginia—northern Settlers.
Amhebst Court-house, September 1,1871.
Editors Telegraph and Messenger; A few
lines additional from this place may not prove
uninteresting to your readers. I left here a day
or two since on a visit to Culpepper county,
found the Orange, Alexandria and Manassas
Railroad one of the most delightful lines of
travel In the whole land. The road is kept in
thorough repair, the cars commodious and
beautiful, and the conductors polite and atten
live. The road is presided over by Hon. John
S. Barbour, a worthy son of one of Virginia’s
most gifted and c’Jstinguished statesmen. The
scenery along this line is very attractive, es
pecially in Albermarle county, where we pass the
University of Virginia, the beautiful town of
Charlottesville, and' Monticello, the home and
grave of Jefferson. Many tourists visit this
seat of the departed statesmen and carry away
mementoes, such as walking canes, pieces of
the tombstone, eto. The latter, whioh should
have been spared the tonohof their sacrilegious
hands, has been badly mutilated and possesses
nothing like its original beauty. On this stone
may still be seen the words, “Here lies Thomas
Jefferson, Author of the Declaration of Inde
pendence, and Founder of the University of
Virginia.”
At Gordonville I fonnd the same “intense ex
istence” for which the place has been so long
noted, consequent on the meeting of the trains
from Washington, Riohmond, Lynchburg and
Stanton. There was not, however, the same
profusion of “chicken legs” with whioh the eyeB
of the hungry traveller have so often been
greeted. The vendors with their big waiters
crowded the platform, so as to seriously inter
fere with the convenience of the passengers, find
the authorities issued an order that they should
not he allowed to come on the platform. Many
on this account have giyen np the business, but
still enough may be secured with small effort to
satisfy the wants of the inner man. There are
two good hotols, also, where the wants of the
traveling pnblio are supplied.
About two hours after leaving Gordonville we
reached Culpepper, which has well been styled
a “Revolutionary county.” This was tho county
that sent forth in the old Revolutionary war
the “Culpepper Minute Men,” concerning
whom John Randolph said in the United States
Senate: “They were summoned in a minute,
armed in a minute, marched in a minute, fought
in a minute, and vanquished in a minute.” I
met and conversed on this occasion with CoL
D. F. Slaughter, a grand son of the veritable
Captain Slaughter who led these brave minute
men forth to battle and to victory.
Leaving the cars at Mitchell’s Station I visi
ted the famous Cedar Mountain battle field,
where Stonewall Jaokson taught Pope what a
convenient thing it was that his headquarters
was in the saddle. Some of the relics of that
hard fonght field may still be seen, such as
brinsed trees and battered earthworks, while a
few bones may ever and anon be seen “bleach
ing” in the sun.
Virginia seems to be ia about the same state
of prosperity as when the writer visited it two
years ago. The crops are looking well, particu
larly the corn, bnt fencing is still scarce, owing
to the destruction of timber during the war, and
labor is as unreliable as it is in the South. The
yankees have put the same notions into the
freedmen’s heads as in other sections; for it
was only yesterday that I witnessed in this vil
lage the procession and celebration of the “Ris
ing Sun Benevolent Society,” with the usual
display of banners, red shirts, drums, eto.
A good many Northern settlers have immi
grated to this region. Soon after the war land
agencies were established all along the O. Y. &
M. R. R., generally called ‘-Piedmont Land
Companies,” and as prices were low, the coun
try pioturesque, and in many places fertile, those
in quest of homes came down and purchased.
Several northern families are living hereabouts,
and are engaged in fruit growing, wine making
and other such things. Some of these immi
grants not realizing their expectations are in
favor of selling ont and going back North.
"While many of them are good people, the old
Virginians will doubtless say “joy” in connec
tion with the departure of the greater number.
_ W.
From Crawford County.
Cbawtord county, Ga., September 8.
Editors Telegraph and Messenger ; It has
been some time since I noticed in your valuable
journal any report, agricultural or otherwise,
from this county; so I will write, if for nothing
else, just to add my testimony, so far as human
knowledge may judge of the’ future by present
appearances and precedent instances, that this
will surely prove one of the shortest cotton crops
since the war. Ever since the planting of the
crop disasters have attended its culture. Even
before it was planted, the prospect for a good
yield was materially diminished by excessive
rains running the ground together, making it
almost as hard as it was previous to its being
bedded preparatory to planting. From a simi
lar canse many of the planted seed rotted in the
ground, and a very defective stand was the con
sequence. Some farmers planted over to an
advantage as late as the 10th of May.
But why enumerate tho ills to which our sta
ple has fallen heir the present year ? It would
be the old story with whioh you aro quite fa
miliar, of grass and weeds, rain and the dronth,
rust and worms, and so on to the end of the
chapter. It would seem that tho elements
would have been content with the damage done
to the growing crop, having reduced the pro
duction during the making period at least a
third; but on Wednesday, the 6th instant, they
concentrated their pluvial energies, and sent on
earth such a flood of water as is seldom seen to
fall in one day. It rained twenty-four hoars
incessantly, and a considerable part of the time
very hard, doing immense injury to open cotton,
of which there was “a pretty smart sprinkle.”
All things being considered, I oannot believe
that there will be gathered very much over half
theeotton that was made lost year; and the
only consoling hope we havo is, that as the crop
is small, the price for it will be proportionately
high.
For an episode, I will tell you about a “jubi
lee” which the “XVth Amendments” some time
ago had in onr vicinity. Money was raised for
a dinner, and to enjoy it they assembled at a
plantation near the “Thronateeska” (as OoL
W. G. MoA. would have it), where, after
making speeches — not political or inoendi-
ary, oh, no! bnt such as these: “How
doth the little busy bee,” eto., and “Mary
bad a little lamb,” eto., a tournament was pro
posed. I suppose the affair was understood be
forehand, for some Sir Knights were gaily, not
to say.beautifully decorated with red crosses,
stars, bows, eto. Flow horses and males were
mounted, three rings adjusted at regular inter
vals in a hundred yards, which distance an old
fellow with a watch, dumb perhaps, said they
had to make in five-seconds. Pound-cake and
the approving smiles of Afrio maidens were to
reward the most skillful, or lucky Knight. The
contest; raged, varied only now and then by
some Balaamic animal true to bi3 obstinate na
ture* refusing to go in the right direction, and
piling his rider upon the grass. At last viotory
perched upon the banner of a certain Knight—
black as night; and the prize was to be awarded,
whenlo! in the excitement of the exhibition a
disappointed rider, stealing away unperceived
from the lists, had appropriated the cako to
himself, and left parts unknown. It is unne
cessary to add that maiden smiles were not
enough to appease the wrath of that both for
tunate and unfortunate darkey.
Very respectfully,
Coquetueb.
In Greenville, Ala., a “professor” had labored
hard with the youth of that people, and taught
them to dote on grammer according to Murray’s
system. Daring one of the lectures, the sen
tence, “Mary milks the cow,” was given ont to
be parsed. Each word had been parsed save
one, winch fell to Bob L , a sixteen year old,
near the foot of the class, who commenced thus:
“Cow is a noun, feminine gender, singular
number, third person, and stands for Mary.”
“Stands for Mary!” said the excited professor-
“How do you make that ont?" “Because,”
answered the noble pupil, “if the cow didn’t
stand for Mary, how eonld Mary milk her ?”

Versailles, September 14.—In the Assembly
to>day, a message from President Thiers was
reoeived, the reading of which lasted half an
hour. Thiers says the members have well

their constituents at home whether the oountxy
wishes for a reconstruction based on the glori

Letters to Sontb Georgia Farmers—
No. 4.
BY HERBERT FIELDER.
If yon are satisfied that you ought to raise
more stock, the mind naturally turns to the
snbject of pasturage, and particularly to grasses.
If you can succeed with them, you wul have
less use for grain, and more healthy nnimaTg,
and at once save money in catting off the ex
pense of feeding and by prolonging the lives of
lorses and mules.
You cannot sneoeed as well as they do in
higher latitudes and on closer soiL The main
body of onr lands do not hug the roots, close
enough; it is mixed with sand; is white; be
comes heated under our summer sun; radiates
heat and parches ont the grass before it gets
well set; yonr experiments have generally been
on small patches and have usually been broken
up by prematurely turning stock upon them.
There is no use in trying to pasture large flecks
on small patches. They could not do that in'
Kentucky.
If yon wish to make a fair experiment, and
hope to be profited by a grass crop, you must
devote large fields to it, and let it atand without
a hoof upon it until it thoroughly occupies the
land. I doubt not there may be found on most
of your plantations tracts of close soil whereby,
leaving a part of the forest growth to break the
fores of the sun’s rays, and by thorough prepar
ation and by sowing a heavy crop of small grain
with the grass seed, and letting it fall down to
shade it the first summer instead of cutting it
off, you could soon have good grazing and mow
ing. Hence, inasmuch as you have a vast re
dundancy of land, the experiment i3 worth the
cost of seed and the labor of preparing and
planting. .
While you labor under difficulties in compari
son with other sections in some particulars, you
have over them in other respects inestimable
advantages if you would only improve them—
one is the adaptation by nature of your seotion
to the vine crops. Yonr soil and climate are
fitted for them, and their production is not only
easy but choap. Your potatoes and ground peas
are as far superior to those of upper Georgia in
yield and in quality, as their apples are to yours.
The advantages they offer you in a cheap and
abundant food for man and be n 't are superior
to those of the blue grass and clover sections.
One piney woods potato patch i3 worth three
times its area of Kentucky grass in food for
hogs and cattle, besides its support of our own
species. Where is a spot of land here where
this crop cannot be abundantly grown, and
where a farmer, white or black, with a little in
dustry may not provide his family and stock
with a most delioious and healthfnl food for at
least six months of the year.
None of us have, perhaps, placed a proper
estimate upon the value uf the pea and pea
vine that grow at a nominal expense after the
cereals are matured, or, plantedseparately, pre
serves and enriches the failing lands, famish
ing abundant and cheap food for man and beast.
By repeated luxuriant crops of pea vines, whioh
derive their support mainly from the air, you
oan enrich your land and almost impoverish
that of your neighbor who allows the fertility
of his soil to pass off by exhalation and taken
up by yonr vines to be turned under and rot
with the soil.
Yonr experience daring the war, when sugars
and syrups were cut off, demonstrated to you
the immense value of West India cane. But I
fear you have not profited by thi3 experience,
since yon can exchange cotton bales for barrels
and hogsheads of these articles which have un
dergone the refining proces of superior prepar
ation and skill elsewhere. And cotton is strag
gling under the burthen of yonr neglect to avail
yourselves of thi3extraordinarysourceof wealth
which lies at every man’s door.
Tobacco, almost indigenous to yor* soil, is
one of yonr expensive luxuries purchased from
the farmers of other States. Ever and anon
over this country may be seen about the back
yards and gardens a wide-spreading scupper-
nong vine. It produces its own shade, derives
its support from the hard earth without culture,
and maintains its crop without pruning. This
orop is not only among the most luxuriant, but
i3 next to the best wine making grape in Amer
ica. Did it ever occur to you what an immenso
source of wealth this is which requires no oper
atives to till the crop—only to be planted once
in perhaps twenty years—and only now and
then its support renewed—that only occupies
a few acres of laud which every farmer has to
spare ? A crop that is once planted requires no
horse power, no strong laborers to bo fed, and
clothed and paid; bnt that can be harvested by
those who are not able to peiform field work.
Did yon ever" count upon not only the luxury,
but the health-bearing properties of these native
and pure beverages, if they can be generally in
troduced, and take the place of the fiery distilla
tions among a people who are determined to use
stimulants?
I have only alluded to a few of your natural
advantages—many other readily suggest them
selves. Can any man tell why an average acre
of land here is not worth more than in Western
New York or Southern Illinois ? It is an inoon-
trovertable truth, that with the same labor and
preparation, and fertilizers, it will producemore
in value of our standard crops. And from it
we can supply more of the marketable products
of tho world. Our fathers have shown their
skill by the number .of acres they could cut
down and scour over and rain in a few years.
They had too mnch land—underated its value,
and never took time to develop its true value.
And we are following in their example unprofit-
ed by the light which experience sheds upon
every step of out pathway.
If every farmer would restrict his operations
and enrich his fields a3 he doe3 his garden, it
would only require a few years to make him
prosperous, independent and happy.
From Twiggs County.
Flat Woods, Twiggs county, September 12.
Editors Telegraph and Messenger: Our corn
crops are made and almost matured; we shall
make a fair orop of com—enough to supply our
county. The hog crop is small, but enough to
supply the whites. The colored popu’ation are
raising some meat; their shoats generai'y look
well, whether there is any com in their crib or
not. Wo shall not make more than a half crop
of cotton. The month of August is our cotton-
making month, in which about two-thirds of
the orop is usually made; the month in which
the cotton fields look beautiful and inspire the
fanner with renewed hopes, amounting almost
to a certainty, that he will be rewarded for his
constant toils during the year. What soene
more, beautiful, more inspiring, than to see a
cotton field, girdled with rich variegated colors
of white and red—crowned, as it were, with a
wreath of green, and studded with a substantial
crop of groen bc”s maturing and almost ready
to burst from their fullness of silky fibre ? No
such scene was beheld in our portion of oountiy
daring the month of A: ast last past. The
stalks generally are uncommonly small, and'
oven where the weed is of fair size there is bat
little more than the bottom crop. Aa eight
weeks’ drought in July and August, succeeded
by rains first of September, has cut off nearly
all tho fruit promised daring these months. Our
county will not make more than half a crop and
would soon all be opened if the weather was
fair. C.

Washington, September 14—A gentleman
named Wigfall, formerly of Virginia, bnt who is
now a resident of Brooklyn, owns a handsome
residence in Clinton avenne, in that city, valued
at seventy-five thousand dollars cash. He says
that within the past ten days a prominent lawyer
of Georgia proposed to him to buy this property,
offering in payment a certified claim against a
certain railroad in Georgia for legal fees
amounting to an hundred thousand dollars,
stating that all he had to do was to present the
claim and get tho money. Wigfall refused to
give the name of the lawyer, as he had been re
quested to treat the matter confidentially. It is
suspected that this claim is against the State
Road and certified to by the commissioners re
cently appointed by Bullock to settle the claims
against that road.
The Pennsylvania Central has succeeded in
getting a controlling interest in the Wilmington
and Manchester, North Carolina Central, Char

purchase of stock the Air Line Road also, from
Charlotte to Atlanta, and are now negotiating

scheme at the bottom of this, which should
arouse a determined opposition throughout the

A Monster Bird in California. —Last Tues
day evening about seven o’clock, says the Win-
nemucca (Cat) Register of August 9, the peo
ple in the lower town were startled by the sud
den appearance of a hugo monster we are at a
lost to know whother to call fowl or beast, not
withstanding it had wings and could fly. It was
certainly the biggest creatnre ever seen in
this country with feathers. If a bird, it belongs
to a giant species unknown to American orni
thology. Onr attention wa3 first attracted by
hearing some one sing ont, “Holy Mother,
see that cow with wings.” "We stepped to
the door just in time to see the monster
alight with something of a crash on the roof of
Mrs. Collier’s dwelling house, where it remain
ed for several minutes taking a quiet survey of
the land and the astonished multitude who stood
gazing at that unexpected visitor. It coaid
not have weighed less than seventy or one hun
dred lbs., with a pair of ponderous wings, whioh,
when stretched out to the breezo, *mu3t have
been folly twelve feet from tip to tip. Its color
was that of a raven, with the exception that the
tip3 of its wings and tail were white. An “old
salt,” who happened to get sight of the bird,
thinks he most be a renegade member-of the
condor family. He says he haB frequently met

Cause and Cure of Consumption.
The primary cause of Consumptien Is derangemer.
of the digestive organs. This derangement produce
deficient nutrition and assimilation. By assimilate
I mean that process by which the nutriment of fit
food is converted into blood, and thence into the sol
ids of the body. Persons with digestion tbu: ia-1
paired, having the slightest predisposition to pulo
nary disease, or if the7 take cold, will be very liable
to have Consumption of the Lungs in some of it 1
forms; and I hold that it will be impossible to csrs
any case of Consumption without first restoring a god
digestion and healthy assimilation. The very £:■:
thing to bo done is to cleaoso th3 stemarh and bowel*
from all diseased mucu3 and slime, which is c’oggici
these organs so that they cannot perform their m::-
tions, and then rouse up and restore tho liver toi
heal hy action. For this purpose the surest and be*t
remedy is Echenck’s Mandrake Fills. These f9k
clean the stomach and bowel3 of all tho dead and mor
bid slime that is causing disease and decay ia the
whole system. They will cleanout thelivcr of elUis-
cised bile that has accumulated there, and rouse h
up to a new and healthy sc tion, by which nitarfl
and healthy bile is secreted.
Tho stomach, bowels and liver aro thus cleansed6j
tho use of Echenck’s Mandrake Pills: but there re-
mairs in the stomach an excess of acid, the organ iJ
torpid and the appetite poor. In the bowels tho 110-
teals «c weak, and requiring strength and support. .
It i3 in a condition like thi3 that Echenck’s Seaweed I
Tonic proves to be She most valusblo remedy ever E
discovered. It is alkaline, and its use will neutraiin
all excess of acid, making the stomach sweet and
tresh; it will give permanent tone tolthis imports:!
organ, and create a good, hearty appetite, and pre
pare the system for the first process of a good diges
tion, and ultimately make good, healthy, living blood.
After this preparatory treatment, what remains tj
cure most cases of Consumption is the free and perse
vering use of Echenck’s Pulmonic Eyrup. The Pol-
monic Syrup nourishes the system, purifies the blood
and is readily absorbed into tho circulation, »ri
thopco distributed to tho diseased lungs. Tfcereii
►ns all mftrbid matters, whether in the form of se
ises or tubercles, and then assists naluro to expel
all tho diseased matter iathe form office expcctori-
tion. when once it ripens. It 13 then, by the great
healing and pnrifyirg properties of Echenck’s ryb
monic Eyrup. that all ulcers and cavities are aealci
up sound, and m7 patientis cured.
’j ho essential thing to be done in curing Consump
tion is to get up a good appetite and a good digestion,
so that the body wiil grow in flesh and getstrong. U
a person has diseased lungs—a cavity or absces3in«®
—the cavity cannot heal, the matter oannot ripen, so
long as the system 13 below par. What is ne:ci?ary to
cure is a new order of things—a good appetite, a g«l
nutrition, the body to grow in flesh and get fat: tae-
Nature is helped, the cavities will heal, the matte;
will ripen and be thrown off in large quantities ap
the person regain health and strength- This is as
true a d only plan - to cure Consumption, andui
person is very bad, if the lungs are not entire ya«-
stray ed, or even if one lung is entirely gone, if thtrs
is enough vitality left in the other to heal np. titre
is hope.
I have seen many persons cared with only on'
sound luag, live and enjoy life to a good old ase.-
9 his is what Echenck’s Medicines will do to cine
Consumption. They will clean, ont the stomata,
sweeten and strengthen it, get up a good digestion,
and give Nature the assistance she needs to clear; w*
