New York Politics.—The Democratic Cen- Jtal Committee of New York met in Albany last Wednesday and agreed to call their State Convention at Rochester, on the 4th day of next October. The rural members were very calm over Tammany explosions, and insisted it was & New York affair and let New York rule herself and settle it. As to the State at large, the ad ministration of Governor Hoffman had vastly increased the hold of the Democracy upon the people, and it would poll an increased majority. Era. Seed.—Tho quidnuncs all prophesy an other and still more gigantic war in Europe— in which Russia and France on the one side and Germany and Austria will be the parties. Thus wars engender wars. The Austro-Prnssian war bred the Franco-Germ art, and the Franco-Ger man breeds a universal European explosion. He who looks for peace in this generation looks in vain. The New England firemen, to tho number of seventy-five companies, held a monster clam bake at Portsmouth, New Hamphire, last Wednesday. The Tidal Wave.—Pic. says Professor Agas siz's tidal wave fifty feet high is creating excite ment in domestic circles. Can’t they induce Agassiz to waive it? The same paper says it looks now as if the last cotton crop would certainly reach 4,500,000 kales. Eighteen thousand emigrants left Liverpool for the United States during tho month of Au gust Thi3 is at tho rate of over 200,000 per an- from ono port alone. The Republican Committee of England has issued the programme of the party which they claim to represent Tho document expresses the most advanced Radical and socialistic views. Expobts.—'Tho total value of onr exports of domostio productions during the fiscal year of 1871 was 8513,044,273, eleven articles of which were valnedat $485,258,200. Those were as follows: Breadstuff's 8 70,379,187 Raw cotton 218,327,103 Furs on tho skin 1,590,193 Gold and silver bullion 84,505,256 Naval stores 1,694,435 Oil-cake 4,160,021 Refined .and crude petroleum 35,959,000 Bacon, cork and lard 22,992,003 Boof....;. 3,825,666 Tobucoo 19,908,797 Wood and timber 12,916,542 Total $485,258,200 Nearly ono-half of the members of the French National Assembly are of noble birth. In the Republican chamber there sit eight dukes, twenty-seven marquises,forty-one counts, eleven viscounts, seventeen barons, and two hundred and four honorables with the prefix lie, La, Les, Dn, De or Des. Diamond Digging in Africa.—A Buflalonian writing to tho Courier from the South African diamond fields says: I tell yon it is tho “biggest thing” ont. Dia monds aro being found every day; some from twenty to eighty carats. A man, two claims above mine, found a stone which he was imme diately offered $60,000 for, which he refused. He is going to England with it. Snch finds are quite common, too. Stones varying in value from $50 to $1,000 aro found every day. In fact a large fortune awaits several thousands, and I am determined to be one of the nnmber, Providence permitting. Spiritualists Outdone.—the Conner-Journal reports the performances of Dr. Yon Vleek and wife, which in the way of spirit writing, table trpping, rapping, and Davenporling generally, ont did all previous performances, but the Doc tor explained it was all deception and legerde- main. The Howe family of the United States having met and adjourned, some quiet little village is to bo selected for a general gathering of the Smiths. Cotton fell an eighth in Liverpool yesterday, It is presumable they must have some news from tho crop which we failed to obtain. Among the novelties in New York is a com plete female orchestra of twenty performers re cently imported from Europe. Col. Wsi. Heiskell.—Tho Knoxville Press and Herald reports the death of Hon. Wm. Heis kell, in that county, of Bright’s disease of the kidneys. Bom in Hagerstown, Md., in 1768. The Wilmington Journal says a white man 79 years of age applied to the Register for a marriage license on Saturday. Thewoman is 23 years old. This will make his fifth wife. The Tidal Wave.—Tho Charleston Courier Bays the calculation of Agassez “may be right but wo are no great believers in fifty feet tides in this part of the world, and 6hall not take to a tree until we see it actually coming.” It will be too lato to climb a tree when yon see that wave coming. Martial Law in South Carolina.—A Wash* Ington dispatch, of the 6tb, in the Courier- Jonroal, says the administration appears to foe retracing its steps in the proposition to declare martial law in South Carolina. Tho Cabinet meeting which was appointed for to-day to dis pose of the question, has been indefinitely post poned. Two facts have contributed to this re sult—tho first is a protest from influential Re publican quarters against snch a step, and tho second is tho entire absence of aDy confirma tion of Senator Scott’s bugaboo stories as to the condition of affairs in that State. The War De partment reports from officers of the army on duty in South Carolina utterly fail to mention any now outrages, as alleged, and tho depart ment, therefore, ha3 no intention of issuing a drcnlar letter of instructions, as has been re ported. Barbers should frequently wash their hands. A stranger whose nose hadbeen gripped for the eighth time by the offensive fingers of his ton- eorial manager, Saturday evening, blew tho soap from his month and suddenly inquired, “Was the body Indentified?” “What body?” asked the startled shaver. “What body ?” to- peated tho stranger in surprise. “Why, haven’t yon been on a coroner’s jury Y'—Hartford Times. ’’ -The Macon Ice Factory* The storm of last week did some considerable disservice to this establishment,—blowing over the ont door tanks and forcing in the stone and brick curbing of their great well for the supply of water to be converted into ice. This well has been sunk through superincumbent clay atd then a bed of granite rock eleven feet deep, underlying which were found copious springs of bright and sparkling water, affording an abundant supply for conversion into ice. Water from other sources is used merely for mechani cal purposes. We saw a sample of the manufactured ice as we entered the mill, and it was as pure and transparent as glass. The machinery of the mill was made at Halle, in Germany, under the personal supervision of Mr. Memminger, tho agent, and was imported at a total coBt of about £25,000. It is a complicated arrangement of heaters, condensers, pumps, pipes and tanks— all, however, directed to a very simple process —that of reducing temperature by the process of sudden condensation. The agent employed for this purpose is aqua ammonia, which is put into a large retort—exposed to great heat and converted into gas. Tins gas is then cooled by water and liquified by pressure, and, in this shape, introduced to the freezing tank or reser voir. This is externally a largo oblong iron box, perhaps three to four feet high—five or six feet wide and about ten feet long—permeated by a system of pipes into which tho liquified gas is introduced, and suddenly becomes vapor again. This tank is filled with a bath or solution of chloride of calcium, which congeals at a tem perature far below that which is necessary to convert water into ice. The water to be frozen is introduced into the tank in boxes of sheet 7.nc. _ about twenty-eight inches long, three inches thick and s<»ven wide. It take3 about five hours, at first, to reduce the bath of chlo ride of calcium to a temperature of nine de grees Fahrenheit, which solidifies the contents of the zinc boxes; but when this low temperature is attained the boxes are emptied of a solid ice cake of the dimensions given, onco every hour. They are taken ont and dipped in warm water, after which the ice cakes slide ont, and being piled upon ono another, instantly freeze togeth er into a solid mass of any desired dimensions 1 The single cake weighs twenty pounds. The freezing temperature having been once attained, the process is kept up day and night without intermission, because it can be inter rupted only at the sacrifice of the five hours necessary to attain it in the first instance. Hence, a double supply of hands is needed, and there are also two complete ice-machines in the factory. The aqua ammonia after passing through the freezing tank is returned with but little loss, to the retort, to be reconverted into gas—liqui fied fay pressure—liberated to gas—and con densed again—thus circulating, round and round with a loss each time of not more than a single per cent. The expense of materials is, therefore, small. Tho cost of machinery, la bor, fuel, wear and tear, make up tho consid erable expenses. The company expect to furnish ice to dealers at a cent, per pound. They will be in full opera tion by the last of the week—so soon as they can repair damages to wells and tanks. The foreman of the factory is a Prussian, who has had long experience in managing these machines. The ice, we repeat, will be as handsome as any ever furnished by Dame Nature, and New Or leans experiments go to show that it wastes more slowly than natnral ice. The power for this factory is furnished by a very compact and noiseless steam engine, also bnilt in Ger many. Thus it is that the pesky rebels are ruining the ice crop of New England—for wo doubt not with increasing facilities and experience, ice will bo made in all countries where nature fails to supply it, at a cost below the freight from Northern latitudes. Where Applause Drowned the Hisses.—The Son says that at Wallaok’s Theatre on Thursday evening, Miss Lydia Thompson, as usual, sang: May Grant return the lot Of presents that he's got, If ever I cease to love. The storm of plaudits was prefaced by a few feeble hisses. When tho applause subsided, the hissing was resumed, only to be again drowned by hand*clapping. Several times was the feeble hissing repeated, and each time it was over whelmed with applause. The hissers numbered sot more than ten in an audience of sixteen hundred. Majority for Dr. Greeloy, fifteen hundred and ninety. Evert day som’e newspaper tells ns of a wo man burned to death, and adds, “She was try. ing to kindle a fire with kerosene." All women who do not take the newspapers, and who do take coal-oil, Bhould at once memorize and sing hourly the good old hymn beginning: Poor Biddy Brown, to hasten things, Poors oil upon the ooal: The neighbors meet at night, and pray “Have mercy on her soul.” [Courier-Journal. Dead.—The Charleston Daily Republican, the Radical organ of that city, suspended pub lication last Friday, to use its own language,' “because tho Republican administration at Co lumbia, will its death”—tho plaffi English of which is that Scott refuses to allow it to gorge at the same swill tnb whereat ho and his cro nies are feeding to fatness. If nine ont of ten of the chicken pie concerns calling themselvej “loyal” papers had their rations stopped in this manner they would suspend, too. Letter from Talbotton. Talbotton, September 9. Editors Telegraph and Messenger : As the cur tain of night now hangs heavily over this,at pres ent, very gay and prospering inland town, and, as I shall no longer wander forth mid its, ns it were, labyrinthian folds, I thought I would essay a letter to yon, though of no special import. However, were I to dispose of my chemical compound of clayas my ennui forciblydictates, I would instantly to my conch, and quite as soon not be unconsciously snoring an accompa niment to “When the Swallows Homeward Fly” (entre deux vius), but parlicipatingly and quietly paying homage to that great restorer of health and pleasure. Seldom have I beenmoro agreeably surprised in any place than I was in Talbotton—a town, as I knew, not lying on or very near any rail road, and hence not accessible to those facilities necessary to its rapid growth. One (not living in a place more desirable) might justly envy the inhabitants of this one. To-day was quite an important and interest ing epoch in Talbotton’s history of local inci dents—a Good Templar’s celebration. We are informed that everything passed off pleasantly. The nnmber of member, here is comparatively large. Indeed, this institution has wrought no little good in directing and stimulating many men, young and old, to live a temperate and industrious life, rather than an immoderate and utterly useless participation in that which “stingeth like an adder and biteth like a ser pent” and which if indulged in too freely will hurl its votaries precipitously into an abyss of irreparable poverty, ruin and degradation. Long may she wave ! ..... The hotel hero is doing a fine business at this season—a great many transients passing to and from the Ohalyboate Springs, with other pleas ure seekers who aro stopping hero for the time. Among the latter of whom may bo found Gen eral Holt, wife and daughter, of Macon; Mrs. Collin3 and daughter, of Albany. I will nay here, Messrs. Editors, by way of digression, that the young ladies—the “daughters”—are particularly fascinating, and if the hearts of young men were at all salable, could do an ex tensive business in that line of trade. Several of tho Talbotton gentlemen can, I know, re peat, very appropriately, after their departure— “Lost to sight, bnt to memory dear.” Mr. Harvey, the proprietor here, is remarkably con siderate and accommodating, and always has something good to Batisfy that to which too many of ns are slaves—the “inner man.” Hacks from thin place make connection daily with the trains at Geneva; also, a daily lino is kept up to tho Springs. Crops aro poor, as a general thing. Au re- voir. DuB. Elsewhere Rest. • *1 am very tired, Muter; —— Weary of the day.

We have a circular from the office of the Commercial and Financial Chronicle, reporting tho crop of last year as follows: Year ending Sep. 1—, 1870-71. 1869-70. Receipts at tho shipping p*ta 4,032,164 2,911,121 Add shipments from Tennes see, etc. direct to manufac turers 223,923 153,825 Total 4,261,077 3,064,946 Manufactured South, not in cluded in above 91,210 90,000 Total cotton crop for tho year 4,852,319 3,161,916 The result of these figures is a total of 4,352,- 317 bales as the crop of tho United Statea for tho year ending August 31, 1871. That falls short of our anticipations about 50,000 bales, resulting from on over estimate of the overland movement. Of this crop Northern spinners have taken 1,100,196 boles and South- em 91,240 and the foreign exports bavo been 3,166,742. The Charleston Courier of the 11th mate3 the cotton crop of 1870,'4,299,081 bales, and values it in round numbers at $800,000,000. The San Francisco Bulletin publishes a pri vate letter from an English lady of rank, who accompanied a Countess Blncher on a visit to Varzin, the country seat of Prince Bismarck, in consequence of this unceremonious invitation from the Chancellor: “I say, Countess, mind yon bring Miss with yon in July. Hike girls who have the frankness to let me know that they think me an old humbug.” The fol lowing is an extract from this letter : Tho rattling noise of the carriage in the court and the baying of a band of watch dogs brought the Princess von Bismark, her daughter and two maids in Pomeranian costumes to th9 door. In every respect the Princess is in keeping with the mansion. She is a lady on, I should say, the wroDgside of sixty, bnt fresb and come ly withal. Placid women keep their good looks far into old age. Have you ever noticed what a peachy bloom there is in the cheek of a sil ver-haired Quakeress ? Princess von Bismarck ha3 this becoming bloom. She is quite an un pretending person, both in dress and manners, and does not givo herself any trouble to remind people of her being a great man’s wife. Yon must not fancy because of her plain simple ways that she is vulgar or unintelligent. As the fashion is in her native province, she received scientific education in girlhood, and on leaving school devoted herself to domestio economy, wish yon could taste the game she pots, or tho hams that are cured, the sansagesthat aro man ufactured, the cider that is bottled and the fish that are dried under her superintendence at Yarsin. The best part of the previsions con sumed in the Chancellor’s town-house come from his Pomeranian estate. In tho good, old fashioned style, Madam Bis marck has a branch of keys hung to her girdle They depend from a gold chatelaine her hus band picked up somewhere in France. When sitting in the drawingroom, or superintending the farm women at their work, her knitting needles are always going. Everywhere in the sitting rooms, in the bod rooms one perceives, in knitted quilts and curtains, netted massacars, embroidered pillows, evidence of her manual skill and housewifely activity. Being an old friend of the countess, she kissed me. When “ was introduced she addressed mo a hearty wel come in German. Her words had a motherly ring in them as she kindly said to her daughter, “You’Jl taka care to be a good sister to the frau- lein while she is at Varsin.” Then laughing, she told ns that the countess (Milo. Bismarck) was engaged, bnt as her “intended” was with her she would not bo too much occnpied in think ing of him to attend to tho visitors, of whom I learned at dinner there were no less than thirty in the house when we arrived. Coffee was laid in the drawing-room. Bnt Otto said that would never do. So be ordered a regular lunch, at which tea, with thick fresh cream figured. This repast was a good deal in the nature of a Scotch breakfast, for, in addi tion to cold roast mutton, there were thin, hard baked oat-meal scones, honey, preserves, and a sort of whisky, distilled from a mixture of bar ley and potatoes. The furniture used to be very f lain. Bat Bismarck has brought back from 'ranee carved oak sideboards, tables, and la huts, equal to what one sees in the royal chateau of Pan, and probably as ancient Many a Sig- ncurial residence in France has contributed to fill his roomy Pomeranian schloss with pleasant riches. Onr tea, for instance, was served in a porcelain service, taken from tho Empress’ apartments at Compiegne. This service was manufactured for Marie Antoinette, at the fac tory sho founded at Bonrg-la-Reine, and it is quite unique. The ground is of canary-yellow, and tho decorative parts consists of landscapes, most exquisitely done in Indian ink. The Princess Bismarck, with truly German naivete, says: “Ah! yon are admiring those littlo mugs. They belonged to that poor Queen of Louis XVL My husband bought the whole lot for a thaler from a soldier. He (Bismarck) sent me such lovely things from Versailles! I will show yon the wonderful laces that I am going to have made up for Leuchen’s trousseau. They were found by Otto in a most beautiful inlaid ward robe (which I have placed In my bedroom at Berlin) in the castle of the Dnchess de Monchy, that foolish Emperor’s cousin. Mein Gottf what a foolish man that Emperor was. I heard the Emperor "Wilhelm say that tho Empress was also very silly and frivolous, and that she hated Prussia. Bat she was not wicked, notwithstand ing her being the tool of Princess Mettomich in provoking the war.” Bismarck came in from fishing while wo were at luncheon. He is a hearty, hilarious, rough- and-ready sort of a man, with littlo culture of any sort, but a mine of keen mother wit, which best comes out over a tankard of beer. With out ceremony he took me ta the coffee stage of the repast into the hall to show me a basket full of trout, fresh from a little noisy brook that runs into the lake on the garden side of the house. Bismarck is a patient fisher and a ven turesome hunter. At Yaizin, nobody unac quainted with his antecedents, conld see in him tho stnff for an astute politician. Yesterday, when he was romping with the gleesome Leu- cben, he canght my eye scanning his massive head and soldierly countenance. I wanted to see whore his astute genius lay, to find ont where his Machiavellian spiritlnrks. “There,” he cried, “is yonr English fraulein wondering that a cloven foot does not show itself throngh my jack-boot. Bismarck and tho devil are all one. Isn’t it so, old mother ?” (this was to the princess.) “What have yon got to say about the hoofs and horns ? If yon conld only hear what the Vienna papers are writing about my pact with Belial, yon’d plead forthwith for a divorce. Bnt, luckily, yon never look at the papers, and therefore are in happy ignorance of my coquetries with his Infernal Majesty.” Bismarck’s study is situated on the ground floor. It has the prosaic, nncomfortable ap pearance of an attorney’s office. Long-legged desks, break-back,bolt-upright hair-cloth chairs, and sofas imported from London by way of Stettin; brass-handled endless drawers, all dock eted and numbered; many maps; unsightly, ponderous volnmes bound in calf-skin; files of etters ou a square table, solid as if made for playing billiards, have held their own against the charming French importations which em bellish the other rooms of the schloss. We, the visitors, pass onr time jn riding, fishing, boat ing, botanizing, eating, drinking, singing and dancing. Small as the village iB, it has its Or- pheonist Society, which sends a brass band to play every evening in the garden of the schloss while we are at supper, for we dine at half-post 2 and sup at 7. The farm laborers and their wives and daughters are allowed often to dance on a broad qnadrille space. The Chancellor enjoys tho fun, and sometimes orders beer to be served to the rustic dancers. I rode this morning in the forest with Lenchen Otto and Connt von Luxbnrg, a Bavarian nobleman of old family and large estates, the affianced lover— the Chancellor’s daughter. We cantered throngh some lovely glades, Btartling as we went along, hares and other kinds of game. The Count is, nati “ The New York Snn says that while Sheriff O’Brien, of that city, was taking his usual morning walk dnting a recent visit to Saratoga, 'he was met by an elderly party who boaslingly informed him that sho had jnst drank fifteen glasses of Congress water. “Well, don’tlet me detain yon,” was his quiet reply. coarse nose, and a harshly square jaw. Her fine skin and animated manners alone preserve her from extreme plainness. Bismarck banishes politics so far as it Is pos sible from Yarzin. Bucher and Brass, his sec retaries, have orders to Isolate him so far as in their power as much as they possibly can from the outer world. Lenohen tells me that the day on which the telegraphic wire oommunicating between her father’s study and Berlin brought the news of Eenedetti’s rupture with the King of Frnssia at Ems, he had given orders not to be' pestered with offioial business. When Dr. Bucher handed the telegram to him he was ly ing on the bank of the little river Wipper, watching some rooks' flying over a rookery on the other eide. A book which he had been read ing was lying on the moss beside him. Of all other books in the world, it was Gessner’s Death of Abel. There were no visitors at the schloss, and the Chancellor and his family were to dine with tho village schoolmaster, the worthy and erudite Herr Fizervitz, for whom he entertains esteem and sympathy. On glancing over the dispatch, he started to his feet, and without let ting fall a word, rushed to the house. Meeting his wife at the door, he kissed her affectionate ly, and informed her that in half an honr ho must be off to Berlin. “I may not return for another year. Do yon see to tho harvest and everything connected with tho farms, fori must not bestow a thought upon them. War in a few days jjth France is certain and I shall accom pany tte King andMoltke throngh the cam paign.” Next day he met William and Fritz at Brandenburg on their way from Coblenfz to Berlin, where they were going to puBh forward military preparations. .torally, in 1% army. Every German nobl9- on'is. Bnt he is a diUeiantl also, swears by Wagner, and sings sentimental songs exactly like a tenor of the Italian Opera Honse. He is mild as a moonbeam, and of the same pale com plexion. Lenchen thinks him an Apollo dis guised in tho uniform of a hussar. For my part, his hair is too silvery, his eyes are too celestially bine, and his checks of too pnre a red and white to please me. The fiancee will be the governing power in the household when she becomes the wife of Luxbnrg. She is sin- i gnlarly like the'Chancellor, which is tantamount to saying that she has a deep-set, merry eye, a A yonng lady, in a communication to the San Francisco Chronicle, makes indignant complaint of the unreasonableness of men in asking women to marry. She says: I am pestered with offers. Now, I like men I like gentlemen’s society better than that of my own sex. I like them because their associ ation is to me pleasing and profitable. I want information and knowledge of tho world, and all the wisdom I can acquire, and this I can better derive from personal association, and masculine association at that, than from all the books or the women in tho world. Not that I’m going to put myself up as a thorough bine- stocking, angular, shrunken, sharp-featured, withered, spectacled, and strong-minded. My blood circulates pretty lively, and I am not averse to the feel of a coat-sleeve or the sweep of a moustache to fill up the pauses in the con versation. Bat moderation, judgment and pru dence in all things say I. Because champagne is exhilarating that is no reason why any one should drink themselves into any sort of a gut ter. Now I never offered to marry a man; ! never had the presumption to say to a gentle man “ If yon will be my exclusive companion for life I will support yon; and I wiil be a mother to yonr children. As to congeniality, why I’ve only seen yon in company dress but you please me in that, and I’ll take ii for granted that in all their intriacces and complications onr natures will como into perfect sympathy and consanguinity with each other.” Bnt men will make snch propositions after a six weeks’ acquaintance, when in reality they know no more of tho woman whom they ask to marry them than they do of tho man in the moon. There are men who will propose marriage to ns, whose business would keep them two-thirds of the time in tho wiids of the continent. They seem to imagine that the honor of their name and alliance would bo a sufficient compensation for a life spent two-thirds in the condition of a grass-widowhood, or of one en tirely subj e ct to the privations of the backwoods. There are others, confirmed invalids, who, be cause we are pleasing to them, elect ns to the station of the'i nurses for life. Others are poor as poverty, yet not for a moment do they heel tate to offer ns shares in their poverty. Sc they go. None of these gentlemen in the mat ter of association are unpleasing. All are pos sessed of qualities which render association with them agreeable. Bnt the law of to-day seems to be that the moment a single lady sees in a man something to admiro, and allows him to become aware of such admiration, that moment his lordship must imagine that she is head over heels in love with him. It is then that he either demands or importunes a return of his passion, it is then that he either becomes furiously jeal ous of all her other male associates, whom she may have known and esteemed for years; and, to be sure, if she doesn’t comply with his de mand or importunity—if sho doesn’t feign an affection which she may not feel—his lordship goes into spasms either of despair or rage. He threatens either snicide or revenge. (Mr. Editor, I ve got a trunk full of just snch desperate letters, and I’m half inclined to pub lish one occasionally, without signature, of course, just in order that some of their lord ships, who daily carry their heads very high on Montgomery street, may see how their insanity looks in print.) I ask again: Why may not a lady enjoy congenial masculine association, based on propriety, which might prove mutually profitable, without being continually pestered to marry? “Marry! marry! marry!” That’s man’s eternal cry. “Marry and settle down. Settlo down into a honse—“two story back, perhaps—settle down into a kitchen, a cook- stove, a wash-tub, a cradle! and so keep set tling, settling, settling into a weary, worn, faded woman—on whom the male importuner, after five or ten years of exclusive companionship, may look and congratulate himself on having accomplished a successful rain! Yon men are deluded on this subject of matrimony. Yon meet a woman attractive to you, and forthwith yon conclude that the be-all and end of her ex istence here is a place in yonr own private cage, where she is to sing for yonr own exclusive bene fit. You conclude because she is outwardly pleas ant in yonr company that all is serene and qniet within. Yon have yet to learn that the best specimonsof womanhood yon see are fast catting loose from this old-fashioned idea that marriage is the sole end ana aim of her life. “Ouida.”-Justin McCarthy writes as follows to the New York Mail: Speaking of novel*, I need not ask if yonr readers know tho beautiful and charming work of fiction written by the Anglo-French lady. Miss de la Ramayo, who chooses to call herself “Ouida,” or as the Pall Mall Gazette translated it upon ono oeeasion, “Yes, sir-ree.” Ouida, a sort of Guy Livingtono, in petticoats, has come before tho world with a new book, “Folio Fa rina,” which appears to be very sad, cynical, flatulent, and, of course, immoral. This lady— by-the-way, she was at the famous pigeon- shooting tho other day in company with a tre mendous military personage who looked like one of her own athletic heroes—has fought her way into a sort of celebrity despite the invaria- riable contempt and denunciations of all the critics. No English authoress of onr day has had half the critical wrath and scorn poured out upon her which has been shouldered npon “Oaida,” and she seems only to thrive on it. I fancy her novels have a better circulation than those of any other authoress here. Not a healthy sign, surely; but it is curious as showing how little high-class people can now do to affect an author’s popularity. I know of two distin guished members of the Honse of Commons who went to the aforesaid shooting match for the sole purpose of seeing “Ouida,” and I don’t believe they would have crossed the street toseo Jean Ingelow or the authoress of that charmiDg story, “Archie Lovell,” or perhaps even George Eliot herself. The Abut Worm in Mississippi.—A corres pondent of tho Charleston Courier, writing from the rich cotton county of Madison, in Missis sippi, gives tho following picture of the pros pect for a cotton crop in that county. Tho writer says: Tho army worm is upon ns In myriads. One of our best farmers ten days ago was confident of making one hundred and fifty bales of cotton. Yesterday I was told that he says he would bo pleased if ho knew he would make thirty bales. I saw swarms of the worms on a few twigs ho had gathered at random from his fields and brought to town with him in a tin pan. The cotton crop i3 so uncertain in this county as to defy any accaraoy of estimate. On This.—In reply to inquiries on the sub jeot, we would state that freight and passenger trains are now running on regular schedule time, on all the railroads leading ont of Macon, except on the Macon and Augusta Road. The damage this road sustained by the late freshet is being repaired as rapidly as possible, and trains will be running over it by tho latter part of tho present week. Not True.—It was not true, as reported to us yesterday, that two locomotives collided on tho Macon and Brunswick road on the day be fore. A rear car of a train became uncoupled, and being on a grade, it ran back upon a loco motive, breaking the glass off the head light For the Telegraph and Messenger.. Jlannl'actnres and Agriculture—jtfo. 1 There is no question of so great importance to the people of the State of Georgia as the sub ject of the introduction among ns of manufac tures. And before commencing the considera tion of this important question, if we refer bnt for a moment to the history of. the nations of ancient and modem times, we will see that no race of people have ever risen to great eminence and power «'ho have not combined a good sys tem of agriculture with the skill and art of manufactures. Those nations of antiquity who have left behind them monuments of learning,: and have illustrated the capaoity of the human mind in the science of architecture, the me chanic and fine arts, and developed the mind to the aohieving of the highest position of rea soning, philosophy and poetry, have been that people who have oombined these two great sys tems of human progress. Among those pre-eminent may be mentioned the Babylonians, the Egyptians, Grecians and Romans. We find that among them the me-, chanic and manufacturing arts were carried to the highest perfection, and, at the same time, the earth was cultivated with a wonderful de gree of skill. Hand in hand these great twin brothers of power and wealth fed, clothed, armed and protected the people in the enjoy ment of their liberty and happiness. And in cident thereto oomes wealth, and, when joined to a parity of the publio mind, gives the great support of a good government a system of ed ucation for the people. Foremost among the people of the present day are the inhabitants of the British Islands, a country whose people were the first among the civilized nations of the earth to enjoy, in a complete extent, their per sonal freedom, and whose country, in the wealth, influence and bappininess of her people, stands the first on the globe. While carrying a system of Agriculture to a great degree of perfection they have joined therewith manufactures to a greater extent than any people, and as an at tendant thereto their commerce and trade ex tend to all parts of the earth. While Southern and Eastern Europe import in a great measure their manufactures, we find them deficient in the enterprise and enlighten ment that so strongly characterize.Central and Western Europe. And especially may be in stanced Prussia and the German States, whose people have paid more attention to improving the system of Agriculture than any other coun try, they being the first to establish schools and colleges for that especial purpose, and they have also combined therewith and increased to a won derful degree of late years, their manufactur ing interests, and connecting therewith superior educational advantages. Their great power as a nation of people has lately been exhibited and is now beheld with awe by tho civilized world. Before the late war between the States of this Union, agricultural and manufacturing interests of these United Slates moved with harmony to gether and onr people seemed content to till the earth and sell the products of onr country to the people of the North who manufactured, exported and zesold them to ns again. Bnt then, and especially so now, do we recognize the fact that the Northern States are too distant from us that we should derive any benefit by the distribution of wealth among them. That which enrioheth the people of the State of Connecticut does not enrich the people of the State of Georgia. To iUnstrate with bnt a single example of the wealth distributed in a single Northern State by its manufacturing interest, take the State of Rhodo Island, with reference to the manufacture of a single product of the Southern States. Rhode Island is near the size of some of the larger counties of the State of Georgia, with a soil extremely poor, and with a population of less then 200,000 people. The average annual amount received into that State for the cotton goods sho imports clear of all cost of purchase and manufacture, is near $15,000,000; besides her other manufactures of wool,mechanios’tools, etc., more than double said amount. This striking illustration of the wealth of the manu facturing interest in the United States, shows ns how great the benefit would be to onr people did some of these streams of wealth, of which we are the source, so bend their course that both the source and the outlet might bo in onr midst. There is no reason in the theory that an agricultural peoplo as we are cannot bo also a manufacturing one ; and tho reverse of said proposition is now being shown and exemplified in tho groat southwestern portion of these States, where, from Ohio to ‘Wisconsin, a coun try teeming with the produots of the earth and cultivated with great skill, i3 also checkered with the manufactories of iron, cotton, wool, leather and other materials of use and con sumption—a country moving in front of tho agricultural interests on this continent, and whose influence is fast growing to bo tho con trolling element in tho United States. Tho sterility and poverty of the rocky soil of tho New England States, compared with the ev idences of wealth on every side, often strikes tho traveler with surprise, and the qnestion of how aro theso great cities built on these rocky shores, is answered by tho tall columns oi smoko and tho busy hum of tho manufactories on every side. Tho expense of transporting tho raw material for tho purposes of carrying on theso manufactures is very great, and all things being equal, any country without this cost of transportation would have a considera ble advantage over this country, poor in soil and olimate. Let ns, now, look at onr own State—devoted nearly exclusively to agriculture for its wealth. Let ns consider its position and its capacity for manufactures. The State of Georgia has four rivers of considerable size that flow throngh its territory, viz: The Chattahoochee, Flint, Oc- mulgee and Oconee, all of whioh flowthrough an undulating country from the north toward the south, and on all of which are various rap ids and shoals. And npon theso streams and their tributaries there is water power sufficient to propel machinery that will employ a large population and more than sufficient for any purpose that may be required. In the mountains of Georgia, and adjacent on tho Tennessee and Alabama line fie beds of coal and iron, inexhaustible, and capable of furnishing material for ages to come. On these and other rivers of this State, lie great bodies of land covered with forest trees thatare capa ble of famishing the finest quality of timber for the manufacture of farnitnre, wagons, wooden and hollow ware, to almost an unlimit ed extent. The yellow pine timber in the south ern, and the granite in the centre of the State, are sufficient for building material for any pur pose that may ever be required. All these re* sources and materials lie undeveloped around BY _ TELEGHAPH. New York markets. We come now to the great question, how are we to develop these great resources which the God of nature has placed around ns? How can wo expect to successfully compete with the great wealth and firmly established capital of the northern and eastern manufacturer? That wo should be enabled to begin, be the pro gress ever so slow, of maintaining onr commer cial independence and developing the resources of onr State, to the end that it may add to the wealth, education and prosperity of onr people is certainly to bo desired by every good citizen who wishes the wellfare of his State and her peoplo. [to be concluded.] A Third Candidate. Tho Washington Patriot predicts that there will be three candidates in the field in the com ing Presidential election, viz—the Democratic candidate, the candidate of office-holders (Grant,) and the candidate brought forward by the mass of respectable republicans who cannot swallow Grant. In concluding a lengthy article npon this subject, the Patriot remarks: “It may, therefore, be almost assumed, that the renomination of General Grant will be the signal for a movement in the Republican ranks to bring forwardan independentjeandidate. Cir cumstances most determine upon whom that responsibility will fall. Various names have been suggested as likely to be received with favor, and to make an impression on the publio mind. Judge Trumbull, Mr. Sumner, Mr. Julian, and others are named by their friends as repre sentative men, who would-command confidence and support, and oonld not be shaken in their impose or faith, by the scare-crow of a “regu ar nomination.” Although the new movement is ns yet bnt in the incipient stage, the seeds have been planted in good soil, and are destined to bear abundant fruit. The President may suc ceed in dictating his nomination, bnt it will be discovered when the offloe-holders shall have thu3 exhausted their power, that a new and formidable element must be confronted in a sound public opinion, which their arts cannot reach, and their menaces cannot disturb.” Tho wish, we fear, is father to the thought with the Patriot. Grant will be renominated, and the whole Radical phalanx trill vote for him like lambs. If there is any third candi date it wiil be some Communist affair, under the lead of Wendell Philips. The Sane Gul- lottes suffragists and tfagtCommnniate and agra rians, under the name of labor reformers, will, like enough make a national demonstration next year, and begin fo blow-rap a hurricane. They may not show much, but they will have a bolder start than the abolition party did thirty-five years ago. NewYobe, September 10.—Cotton has been noted as -buoyant with a steady advance in prioes and a fair amonnt of business. The sales for the week reached 102,500 bales of which'89;500 bales were for future delivery, and 13,000 bales on the spot and to arrive.

In other domes tio products the changes have not been impor tant. The domestio produce markets were quite active daring the week with an upward move ment in the prices of the leading products, at the produce exchange. The breadstuff market, has exhibited increased Btrength, and prices have advanced owing to the decreased receipts and a fair demand for export. Colton Movements of the Week. Tho cotton movements for the week show a decrease in receipts and an increase in exports as compared with last year. We commence with this week the new cotton year, and make com parisons accordingly. Receipts at all ports for the week 9,137, against 7,579 last week, 7,844 previous week, 7,630 three weeks since. Total receipts since September 1, are 9,137, againBt 11,104 for the corresponding period of the pre vious year, showing a decrease of 1,967 in favor of the present season. Exports from all ports for the week are 10,193, against 3,704 same week last year. Total exports for the expired portion of the cotton year 10,198, against 3,701 same time last year. Stock at aU ports 95,890, against 54,723 at the same date last year. Stock at interior towns 10,221, against 13,638 last year. Stock at Liverpool 521,000, against494,000 last year.
