Motitt.t- Ci.BBiGE3.-Tho Register boasts of a
dozen Mobile cabbage heads which weighed 294
pounds and a single head twenty-eight pounds.
The Yellow Fetes at Cedab Keys, Flobida.
The Mobile Register of Sunday has the follow
ing:
The population of Cedar Keys Is about two
hundred—of which number two-thirds are ne
groes. The plaoe is, topographically, sjnaU—
only a few hundred yards in circmt. Between
it and the main landthere are extensive marshes
intersected by lagoons, The prevalent winds
for the last four or five weeks have been from
the northeast, passing over these marshes, and
scattering the abundant malaria generated in
them over the town, and daring this period an-
Iarial fevers have been quite numerous among
nil classes of the population. Towards the end
of last week, the fever seemed to have changed
its typo, or to have grown far moro malignant,
and on Saturday and Snuday there were five or
six deaths. Among them, we have heard the
following mentioned by name: Col. McCormick,
Mr. Hamilton and Mr. Richardson. The malig
nant obaracter of the fever, and the large num
ber of deaths, caused such a panic that almost
tho entire white population of the place has left
in dismay.
Tho symptoms of the fever are thus detailed:
The patient is taken with a chill, and with great
pain in the back and head, and particularly in
the back of the head. This chill is followed by
a fever of high grade, lasting two or three days:,
the eyes and skin become intensely yellow; the
fever passes off and is followed by extreme
prostration, suppression of urine and delirium,
and death supervenes in from two or three to
eight to ten days. Slack vomit seems not to
have been generally observed, but is reported
as present in one or two cases.
Mb. GboesbeckYI Speech.—Wo copy upon oar
first page so much of this famous speech to the
Ohio Democracy a3 relates to the Constitutional
Amendments. That, wo imagine, in point of
fact, will be the position upon which the Dem
ocratic nominee for the Presidency will be
placed.
The Weatheb.—Showery and damp weather
still reigns supreme, and the moon promises a
month of it. Green bolls in the field are tak
ing the rot, and the question, if things don’i
mend, will not be half a crop so much as any
crop at all—that is to say, in this region. The
prospect makes ns nnhappy.
The Cincinnati Exposition.—The Editor of
the New Orleans Times says the Cincinnati Ex
position is the grandest affair of the kind that
has ever occurred on this continent. Pages of
this paper would not suffice for a dry catalogue
Of the products of human genius from all parts
of tho civilized world there exhibited; and one
large space is given entirely to the illustration
of the floriculture of the country, and through
its cool walks yon may stroll for hours, and
never tire of the infinite variety of rare and
beautiful plants, flowers and shrubbery, set off
by artificial cascades and mountains, and kept
ever fresh and dewy by a constant spray from
mimio fountains and jets. Among the wonders
is that haok fare to tho Exposition is only ten
cents.
Cotton fell an eighth in Liverpool yesterday
in anticipation of heavy receipts from the new
crop.
The Visible Supply op Cotton last Friday
night was 1,G83,133 bales against 1,301,503 at
same date last year—showing an excess of 381,-
G30 bales.
Chicago.—Col. Forsyth, of the Mobile Regis
ter, writes his paper from Chicago that the city of
divorce and strong minded women is taking on
a ponderous growth. Lots are advancing at a
prodigious rate, and solid stone blocks going
up in all directions. A lot in the woods five
miles from tho southern border of the city,
which was bought two years ago for $18,000 was
sold a few days ago for- $75,000. Chicago is
laying out three parks and any number of
“boulevards.” Also building two mammoth
hotels, one of which, the Pacific, is the largest
in tho world and covers an entire square..
The people will weep when they learn from
the dispatches that the Kn-klnx Committee in
Washington “is crippled by having spent all
their money.” Cursed be the man who gives
them a penny or a crutch. Let them hobble
along on their own expenses.
Cholera.—Two cases of cholera are said to
have occurred at Perth Amboy—the victims be
ing two German emigrants jast landed.
Bale op Railways.—The so-called delinquent
railways in Tennessee were to bo offered for
sale in Nashville, yesterday.
Sunshine.—There was a broad streak of son-
shine yesterday after S o’clock p. m. It was a
strange sight. The dogs stood still in the street
and looked at it. Numbers of white people,
yea and negroes too, took a sitting under it to
see how it felt. The sensation was novel, but
some of the older people recollect abont seeing
the same thing before.
Rain.—Torrents of rain fell all Tuesday night
without cessation till daylight Wednesday morn
ing. We have not yet heard of the extent of
the flood, but believe it was pretty general.—
Before it came we heard of cotton fields under
water. Now let them be picked with oyster
tongs.
Balance op Trade.—The report concerning
the commerce of the country for the past fiscal
year, shows that the balance of trade in goods
and coin Is against the United States to the
large amount of $153,000,000. Last year this
balance of trade against the United Slates was
$75,000,000. This is a fact at once astonishing
and lamentable.
Sekatob Carl Schubz was received at Nash
ville by a very brilliant crowd of Democrats last
Monday afternoon, and was welcomed in a
speech by Hon. Neill S. Brown. Hejwas to speak
there in the course of a few days.
Street Cars were running in Macon yester
day—a thing which happei I for the first time.
Good Counsel.—Oar amiable and talented
friend, Col. Herbert Fielder, has been printing
some valuable articles in the Telegraph and
Messengeb for the last week or two. His series
of contributions to South Georgia planters onght
to be put in more permanent form than in the
columns of a-newspaper. But they have gained
a very wide circulation in the different editions
of this paper, and we have no donbt have been
carefully read by many thousands of the partic
ular class to whom they are addressed. The
closing number of the series will appear to
morrow.
A creditor of the Alabama and Chattanooga
road, who seems to know what ho is talking
about, estimates the liabilities of the road at
$17,925,7G0. This does not include the stock,
which is variously put at from $2,500,000 to
$11,000,000.
Op the delegates to the Massachusetts Repub
lican State Convention ^hns far chosen General
Butler has 42; Rice,J7; Loring, 17; Jewell, 1;
Washburn, 20, and nine are uncommitted, but
anti-Butler, The towns understood to be most
strongly for General Bntler havefelready chosen
delegates, and they aresnclnded in the 42.
Columbus and Rome Railroad.—An anony
mous Colnmbns correspondent writes ns that
work has been suspended on this road, in con
sequence of an injunction granted by Judge
Jas. Johnson of that circuit, and refers ns to
the Columbus Enquirer, of last Friday, for
proof of his statement. We can’t find that pa
per, so most take the statement cum grano.
We only depart from our custom with regard to
nameless correspondents, in this instance, in
order that we may discover the truth. What
are the facts, gentlemen of the Ban and Enqui-
Killing Nut grass.
Few persons, aware of the almost fatal bar
to general cropping presented by the Nat
the Coco Grass, and the rapidity with which
it is spreading all over the Sonth, can avoid
feeling a good deal of anxiety on the sub'
ject. Some time ago we printed an adver
tisement sent from Augusta promising a
ceipt “to get rid of nut grass” upon the en
closure to some anonymous address of a pos
tage stamp and a 25 cent shinplaster. One of
our readers made application in dne form and
received for answer “sell your land and move
away.”
That advice, with the present light on the
subject, is about as good as any other. To ex
terminate Nat grass or Coco by the spade over
any considerable area, is afeat involving enor
mous expense and the labor of years. It can
be managed with a good deal of steady and
careful toil on small town lots, but this plan
impracticable on the area of anything like
farm. Bat even in small garden patches, whore
it has once obtained firm hold, it i3 no light
labor to exterminate the pest. One of our
neighbors, after digging year after year in vain,
over a spot of a quarter of an acre, found the
soil an almost inexhaustible repository of the
little germinal nuts, and went to the expense
of having all of it riddled in a sieve to the
depth of fourteen inches. This, we believe,
made n case of the Coco.
Where it is eradicated by the spade or sieve,
great care should be taken to destroy tho ger
minal principle by fire. It is cruel, as some do,
to throw it into the street to spread and grow
in the neighborhood. Almost a3 well scatter
the small-pox abont.
Salt in snclr quantities as to destroy general
vegetation has been recommended as a remedy.
This is expensive, and involves the sacrifice of
the ground for some years to the purposes of
general gardening. Bat there are some vegeta-
bles which will flourish in a strongly saline soil
Cabbages, asparagus and beets will do it
Long and continuous shade will finally exter
minate the Coco. We were told by a friend
few days ago that Mr. Qnackenboss, of Gris-
woldville, had successfully treated the Coco in
this way principally by turnip crops. Fortu
nately, there is no difficulty in Georgia in main
taining land nnder dense shade at all seasons of
the year. Manure the land well and begin in
August or September, say, with turnips broad
casted. The Coco is not an evergreen in this
latitude—it will not stand our frosts. Early in
the spring, the land might be again broadcasted
with oats, rye or wheat, and as soon as theso
were cat, broadcast again with the field pea,
and then in September manure and broadcast
with turnips again. By this time the germinal
principle in the roots of the gras3 should have
perished.
As we have said, the Coco is spreading almost
everywhere in Georgia. When visitors go to
our Macon Fair Grounds they will see a great
area of it on the race-conrso. It is quite as bad
on the Fair Grounds in Augusta and all over the
city. It must be a terrible pest in the gardens.
As one travels west it becomes still more com
mon. The whole Mississippi region is foil of
it, and some of the most productive lands in
that section have been abandoned on account
of it This grass will grow.six inches to a foot
in three weeks. The nnt of it is bitter and nn
palatable, and differs from the nnt of the genu
ine nnt grass which is sweet and pleasant to the
taste. The Coco is less tronblesome and less
difficult to manage than the nnt grass. s Its roots
are stronger and do not penetrate the earth so
deeply. The blade of both is very similar.
Crops in Alabama.
The Montgomery Advertiser, of Sunday,
says the catterpillar is completing the destruc
tion which the rust had begun in the cotton
fields of Pike county. In Sumpter dry weather
and rnst will reduce the yield of cotton one
half. In the neighborhood of Tnscnmbia the
crops are very nearly burned np. Devastation
i3 the rule in Henry connty. In the neighbor
hood of Enfanla fields are now bare which a few
weeks ago promised a luxuriant yield. In North
Alabama the com crop will be short, and cot
ton is drooping. The Wilcox Vindicator reck
ons upon but one-third of a crop of all hinds.
From Marengo connty a planter writes the
Advertiser controverting the figures of a man
named E. J. Donnell, who has recently issued
a cotton circular in the interests—apparently—
of the New York bears. The planter says:
If E. J. Donnell, or any other New York cot
ton merchant, will take an area of ten miles
square and give us one-fourth of what we made
last year they can be accommodated, and we
will enter into any sort of bond besides putting
np a forfeit for the faithful performance of the
contract.
There is a planter near me who has in three
thousand acres of cotton and I understand he
will not make and gather one hundred bales.
There is another who made on one field last
year seventy-five bales and now offers the crop,
being all in cotton, for four bales. There is
another who is considered one of the most
successful (who used to plant in Montgomery
connty, and possibly bought groceries from
Donnel when he kept store where Wyman’s
stand now is,) that planted sufficient land for
one hundred bale3 and fnlly expeoted to make
it, and now offers his crop for twenty bales!
Messrs. Knox & Gill, Baltimore.—The
liberal propositions of this noted honse, to be
found in another column, will be read with in
terest by onr mercantile and farming friends.
No donbt longer exists as to the shortness of
the growing crop, and the planter after paying
off provision liens, would do well to store his
cotton for the spring market. Bat he must biro
money to procure family supplies, pay medical
bills, and defray current expenses. Here then
Messrs. Knox & Gill propose to releive them
from the rainous rates of Georgia banks, (18
per cent.) by storing and holding all consign
ments of cotton, and making liberal advances
npon the same at the moderate interest of seven
per centum per annum. At the same time the
lowest charges for handling are guaranteed.
We have known this firm personally for four
years, and can vouch for their integrity and
high standing in financial circles. Theirrepufa-
tion is not confied even to tins continent. We
trust a generous public will patronize them
liberally.
The Weather gets no better fast. Yesterday
was excellent for rottiDg cotton bolls, and we
have no donbt many a pound of cotton went to
pot during that twelve hours. Seriously, there
has not been a more disastrous season on cot
ton since 1S40—as we ere reminded by a gen
tleman of Monroe connty Who says that daring
that year, there were not more than ten con
secutive days of sunshine from seed time to
harvest. Cotton drooped, it seems, pn Monday
in New York and Liverpool, but not a tithe like
it dia in the fields all over the South. The bears
are making a desperate effort, but they will oer-
tainly get smashed in the end. Before Christ
mas they will not be able to bay a pound of
the staple in New York at le3S than 30 cents—
if this weather continues, and many ttdny they
will have to pay that, or more, anyhow.
What Comes op It.—These cheap papers got
np with “patent insides,” or outsides, are
crammed with selections from Yankee maga
zines, the prominent features of which are
characters who (we quote from one of them)
“have tasted all the horrors and sufferings that
a wounded Union soldier oonld feel starving in
Libby prison.” Do onr country friends, asks the
Mobile Register, reflect on what they are doing,
in delegating to Yankees the selection of choice
Reading for Southern firesides? But it is a
shrewd “invention of the enemy;” very.
“Is the Union Restored?”
We notice in the St. Louis Republican an in
quiry nnder this head elicited by Sensekeeper
Morton's vaunts that the credit of restoring the
Union belongs to the Radioal party. The Re
publican claims that the declaration of martial
law—suspension of habeas corpus—quartering
troops among the people—political conventions
and elections overawed by mitrailenses and
bayonets—civil process set aside—military ar
rests and trials, eta, are no evidence that the
Union is folly restored. The fact is, the vaunt
of Morton in its last analysis is simply that mil
itary force has substituted the old Union of the
States, and the whole effort of Morton and
Grant before the people is to justify the substi
tution as a matter of necessity—growing out of
the fact that tho Union, aB it onoe stood, has
not been restored, and is not practicable on ac-
connt of the disloyalty of the Southern States.
Well, we have this to say abont the present in
its relations to the future. Admitting that Mor
ton and Grant are able to carry out their Kn
klnx programme carefully in 1872, it will be
the last performance of that kind possible by
the Radicals, and their organization, in all prob
ability, will go to pieces soon after the second
inauguration. A second re-election being im
practicable, Grant will probably mitigate bis
violence against the South, and the quarrel for
reapportionment of the spoils of the last term
will be violent and destructive to all the party
except Grant himself, who will then take
cooly. The political future after that time,
not before, will brighten to the South, and in
few years she will probably reacqnire a fair
share of influence in the public administration
—enough; afcjeast, to rescue herself from the
position of the butt and the victim of the other
States. The Union will then be restored suffi
ciently for the general purposes of fair and
equitable government, and npon this condition
the people of the Sonth will rest.
A If AFRICAN FIBE KING.
A Maryland Darkey Stamps the Doctors—
He Eats Melted Lead—Handles Bed Hot
Iron, and Does Divers Other Stunning
Tricks.
A fire proof negro at Easton, Hd., is the
latest wonder. He don’t mind fire any more
than Beast Bntler does having the truth told of
him, and seems bound to establish his claims
as a veritable rival to Shadrao, Meshao and
Abednego. Numerous tests have been applied
to ascertain the genuineness of his alleged in
sensibility to the effects of aotnal fire, and all
with the same result. A late exhibition of his
wonderful powers was given a few days since,
in the presence of several physicians, which
was witnessed by a correspondent of the New
York Herald, who writes of it as follows:
A brisk fire of anthracite coal was homing in
a common coal stove, and an iron shovel was
placed in the stove and heated to a white heat.
When all was ready tho negro pulled off his
boots and placed the hot shovel upon the soles
of his feet, and kept it there until the shovel
became black. His feet were then examined
by the physician, but no burns could be found,
and all declared that no evidence of a heated
snbstance having come in contact with them
was visible.
The shovel was again heated red-hot, taken
from the stove and handed to him. He ran ont
his tongue as far as he could, and laid the
heated shovel npon it, licking the iron until it
became cooled. The physician examined the
tongne, bnt found nothing to indicate that he
had suffered in the least from the heated iron.
A large handful of common squirrel shot pro
cured from a store near Dr. Stack’s office office,
was next placed in an iron receptacle and heated
nntil melted. The negro then took the dish,
poured the heated lead into the palm of his
hand, and then put into his month, allowing it
to run all around his teeth and gams. He re-
peated the operation several times, each time
keeping the melted lead in his month until
solidified. After each operation the physicians
examined him carefully, bnt oonld find nothing
npon hi3 flesh to indicate that he had been in
the least affected by the heated snbstance he had
been handling. Alter the performances with
the lead he deliberately pat his hand into the
stove, in which was a very hot fire, took there
from a handful of hot coals and passed thorn
abont the room to the gentlemen present, keep
ing them in his hand some time, not the slight
est evidence of a burn was visible npon his
hand after he threw the coals back into the
stove.
After he had concluded his performances in
Dr. Stack’s office, I sought an opportunity to
converse with him. .1 found him very ignorant,
not able to read or write, and in all respects an
unadulterated negro. His name is Nathan
Coker, and he is about 58 years of age, He was
born in the town of Hillsborough, Caroline
county, Maryland, and was the slave of Henry
L Sellers, of that place, by whom he was sold
to Bishop Emary. In relation to his ability to
handle fire, and how he first became aware of
it, ho said: ‘‘Boss, when I was abont 13 years
old, old Massa Emary hired me ont to a lawyer
whose name was PnmelL He treated me badly,
and did not give me enough to eat. I shied
aronnd the kitchen one day, and when the cook
left I shot in, dipped my hand into the dinner
pot and polled ont a red hot dnmpling. The
boiling water did not bum, and I oonld eat the
hot dnmpling without winking; so after dat I
often got my dinner that way. I has often got
the hot fat off the boiling water and drank it.
I drink my coffee when it is boiling, and it
does not give me half so mnch pain as it does to
drink a glass of cold water. I always likes it
lost as hot as I can get it” I then interorgaied
lim as to the effect heated snbstanceahad npon
his flesh, and asked him when he handled them
with his hands if he did not snffer more than
when he took them inwardly, to whioh he re
plied : “No, boss. I often take my Iron ont of
the forge with my hand when red hot, bnt it
don’t bnrn. Since I was a little boy I have
never been afraid to handle fire.”
The Tidal Wave Alarm.—We are informed
from the coast that many of the people are se
riously alarmed abont the great tidal wave pre
diction, and are getting ready to retire into the
interior. The Wilmington Star, of Tuesday,
says the excitement in North Carolina from the
same cause is considerable. That paper has the
following:
Some excited individuals, we learn, are pro
posing to send their families to the mountains,
while the attics in all the three and four story
buildings are at a premium. A gentleman from
one of the Sounds informs ns that a frightened,
market man from that locality returned home
late Friday night from this oity, where he heard
of the big wave, and went around among his
neighbors, oronsing them from their slnmbers
and retailing the terrible news of the expeoted
billow, although it was past 12 o’clock. We beg
all such to calm their fears, for we have the best
reasons for believing that the tho tidal wave is
a delusion and a snare—in other words, as Prof.
Forshey has it, a cruel hoax—started by some
mischievous wag to frighten people ont of their
seven senses while he lays back and enjoys the
joke. Agassiz, the learned naturalist, never
made any such prediction. If he did, we should
not believe it.
The Newbem Times also has the following
on the sume subject:
We are informed that tho people living along
the banks and at Beufort, and the entire sea
coast, are, in view of the visit of the tidal wave,
holding prayer meetings night and day, in which
; prayers are made to avert the supposed impend
ing calamity. Many persons are joining the
church, and a general religious feeling prevails.
As no snch wave has ever been seen in the
world since the flood, except in case of great
volcanic shocks, and then coming only in very
small areas, it will be safe to assume that no
snch wave will oome this year, no matter who
predicts it. .
It is now going the rounds of the press that a
New Orleans man, while sitting over a charcoal
fire frying some fish, was overcome by the
fames, fell with his face in the pan, and v/as
dead when found. This fearful judgment
should be a warning. That man might have
broiled the fish instead of spoiling It, and at the
same time loring his own life. If this para
graph shall reach people who wilfully persist in
frying beefsteaks, and shall turn them from the
error of their ways, the death of the New Or
leans man will not have been in vain.—It. 7.

THE GEORGIA PRESS.
The Talbotton American says the corn crop
of that seotion will be short, and that not a half
crop of cotton can be made, now.
A telegraph office aa3 been opened at Flem

A martial hero of the colored persuasion
named Andrew Jackson disturbed the serenity
of Savannah, on Sunday, by assaulting two
other colored troops with a razor, riding at
Gilpin pace through the streets, and firing off

The chairman of the Beaufort (S. 0.) Board
of Health writes to the Savannah News, nnder

entirely disappeared from that place.
Bainbridge shipped 3000 bales of cotton last
year to Savannah and other points.
We find the following items in the Bainbridge
Son of Saturday:
From all sections of onr oonnty come gloomy
reports abont the condition of the crops since
the late storm and rain. All the low lands have
been submerged, and the crops thereon almost
totally destroyed. It is very unfortunate for the
prosperity of onr section that snch is the case,
bnt there is no getting aronnd it—the damages
to a great extent are irreparable.
Greenbacks are scarcer in Bainbridgo than
they have been for several years past. Every
body seem3 to be pressed to the wall financially
and if a handsome price is not realized for the
meagre crop of cotton mode in the country this
season, the resnlt we fear can be summed np in
four letters, R-u-i n ! We hope for the best,
however.
Owing to the unprecedented bad weather we
are having now, and have had continually all
the season, the health of onr section is not im
proving in the least, bnt on the contrary we be
lieve siokness is increasing.
The Fbeshet.—Flint river, to-day, (Tuesday)
is higher than it has been since 1868, and is
still rising, having risen two feet since yester
day evening, and is still rising rapidly. The
A. & G. R. R. wharf is afloat and a portion of
it washed away. The railroad embankment is
also imperrilled. The water is within a few
feet of the top of the Arnett bridge, and we
would not be at all surprised if, before we go
press, that structure should start on trip to the
Bay. MoLaughlin’s mill is now standing alone
in its glory on a little island, and we under
stand that Mr. Mo. says that if .the water rises
a foot higher the river will be booming right
through his furnace. The crops in the rich
Iand3 along the river are all doubtlessly des
troyed, yet we cannot tell the extent of the
destruction.

We clip the following items from the Monroe
Advertiser, of Tuesday:
The “Wole” at the Door.—Mr. Presley
Williams, aged one hundred and two years, was
sent to the county poor house Wednesday after
noon.
Rain.—The murky clouds this morning indi
cate another fall of rain. The cotton bolls are
rotting rapidly, and the crop will be almost en
tirely destroyed if the wet weather continues.
Death op Hardy Perkins.—This gentleman,
well known to many of onr citizens, died sud
denly at his father’s residence near Oolaparchee,
last Tuesday night. Mr. Perkins had, only a
few days prior to his death, and daring a revival
at Mount Zion, enrolled his name as a member
of the Methodist Chnrch.
Sudden Death.—Mrs. Jno. McCord, of this
connty, died very suddenly at Indian Spring on
Friday. It seems that after visiting the Spring,
Mr. M. went np to the village, leaving his wife
in the waiting room at the bath honse, appa
rently as well as nsual, and returning after
short absence found ber a corpse.
Rate op Taxation.—Monroe connty tax-pay
ers will have to contribute very liberally to meet
the indebtedness of the current year. The Or
dinary has not yet fixed the rate of taxation,
bnt he says there is no donbt sbont the redemp
tion of much of his scrip in this way. At pres
ent, there is no “ sinking” fund.
The Atlanta Era, of yesterday, has the fol
lowing:
A Sad Coincidence.—Mr. L. H. Hope, an es
timable gentleman, who bos for years been one
of the salesmen in the house of Menko Bros.,
on Whitehall street, died rather suddenly at bis
residence on Sunday evening at eight o’clock.
Mr. Hope was engaged to be married to a lady
of Gainesville on the day and at the precise
hour in which he died. Truly it was a remark
able and sad coincidence.
Painful Accident.—We regret to learn that
onr esteemed Solicitor General, Captain E. P.
Howell, and family, met with a painful acoident
late on Saturday evening, while driving ont in
the country in his bnggy. The horse became
frightened, capsized the bnggy, and threw the
parties ont npon the road. Captain Howell es*
caped with a slight brnise, bnt Mrs. Howell
broke an arm, and the ohild was badly braised.
We are glad to hear that Mrs. H. and the child
are doing as well as can be expected.

The editor of the Colnmbns Sun reports the
result of observations made daring a recent trip
into the country a3 follows:
A late trip into the country revealed to ns the
fact that the cotton weed has no top crop, and
very little of the middle. Also that very little
of the bottom crop is open where the weed is
tall. From the effects of the continuous wet
weather, many of the bolls near the ground, are
rotting and will never open. The open cotton
is principally on the rusted spots where the
leaves have fallen off. Suoh ootton has bnt few
bolls, and they are of a dwarfish character. The
weed that has not rested, has taken a second
growth, which has filled the top with abundance
of forms, and some blooms. These will all be
nipped by frost and come to nanght. This sec
ond growth is a great injury to the bolls now on
the weed, tending to dwarf their growth and
check their opening.
An election for tax collector of Baldwin connty
will be beld to-morrow. S. N. Callaway and
John Arnold are the candidates.
We clip as follows, from the Sandersville
Georgian of yesterday:
Mrs. Brown, wife of JohnD. Brown, Esq, of
this connty, died on Friday night laBt.
The infant daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Seaton
Grantland died, after a few hoar’s sojourn in
this life, on Tuesday last.
Fob two days past we have had no rain. The
continued wet weather has been disastrous to
crops. In many instances corn ha3 spronted
in the fields, the cotton ceased to open, pease
rotted, eto. The prospect is now good for fair
weather and better times. In onr travels round
last week we past a number of large and onus-
nally thrifty plantations. Not a bale of ootton
to bo seen abont the screws and presses and gin
houses looked as if bnt little used.
The people of the connty will donbtleBS be
surprised to learn that the relatives of Mr. Sea*
ton Grantland have eommeneed a prosecution
against Dr. Carr. A preliminary trial will be
heard to-day, "Wednesday, before Judge Twiggs.
A duel was fought at Grantville, Id. C., on
Sunday morning, between Captain Wm. D’An-
tignao, of Augusta, and Mr. John Dell, of St.
Louis, Missouri, who has been living at Augusta
for somer months past. It was the resnlt of a
quarrel, Friday night, whioh ended in D’Antig-
nao’s striking Dell, who thereupon sent his as
sailant a peremptory challenge. The weapons
used were Colt’s navy pistols, and the distance
fifteen paoes. Two shots were exchanged, the
second of which resulted in Dell’s being shot
through both legs just above the knee. His
wound is considered a serious one. Both parties
returned to Augusta the same day,
The Colnmbns thieves having developed all

The Rome Courier says the oom crop of

At a barbecue at Coosavilie, last Saturday,
Ed Allen, a fisherman, was severely stabbed by
Jas. Prescott. Allen was the aggressor.
We clip as follows, from the Atlanta Consti
tution, of yesterday:
Mysterious Disappearance.—We learn that
Joseph Fry, the clerk of E. F. Blodgett, pur
chasing agent of the Western and Atlantio Rail
road, disappeared on Sunday last, and has not
been heard of since. It is said that he took a
train bound northward Sunday evening. Vari
ous rumors are afloat. One is that he is a ma
terial witness against the Superintendent and
other State Road officials. Another is that it
could be proven by him that McGalla offered
for $20,000 to bnrn np the State Road books and
leave tho State. Where is Fry ? Who shoved
him off?
The MoCalla Case.—The preliminary exam
ination of C. P. MoCalla before Justice W. M.
Butt was set down for 8 o’dook yesterday morn
ing at the Oity Hall. Hon. B. H. Hill appeared
on the part of the prosecution, by direotion of
Governor Bollock. He is directed to appear
for the prosecution in all eases of frand on the
State. Counsel consulted for some two hours
and agreed to an indefinite postponement of the
case. Mr. McGalla admits receiving the money,
bnt claims that he can make a fall showing that
he has never appropriated anf of it to his own
use.
Committed.—John Coppedge had a prelimi
nary examination before Jnstice Smith yester
day on the charge of shooting at another, and
in default of $500 bond was committed to jail.
From tho evidence, it appears that on Monday
evening Coppedge and a man named Smith
were quarreling. Smith had a rook in his hand,
and Coppedge was trying to shoot Smith. Po
liceman John O'Shields, as he neared them,
called npon them to stop, when Coppedge turned
and commenced firing at O’Shields, running as
he did so. Coppedge fired three times. O’Shields
fired twice. No one hurt.
The Era, same date, says:
United States District Court.—The United
States Distriot Coart, Judge Erskine, presiding,
was again engaged all day yesterday with the
case of United States vs. Simms, charged with
embezzlement of Postoffioe funds. The wit
nesses thus fax examined are judge Donning,
J. S. Nall, and John Lynoh. The prosecution
yesterday closed for the present. The Govern
ment by its testimony proposes to show that de
fendant, when the office was taken charge of by
the present inonmbent, failed to account to the
Government in the sum of $23.000.' The de
fense proposes to prove that defendant was not
in arrears to the Postoffioe Department, and
that defendant personally and through oounsel,
has repeatedly endeavored to come to a final set
tlement with the Department, bnt without suc
cess. A number of witnesses are yet to be ex
amined, and it is believed that the case will oc
cupy the remainder of this week.
Everywhere the Same.—Hon. Jack Hamil
ton, exGovemor of Texas, is abont as well quali
fied to pronounce an opinion npon the character
of the Texas trewly loyl as any man we know.
He used to be “In” with them. "Well, here is
what he says abont the creatures who make np
the majority of the so-called Legislature of that
State:
“I never saw a man give one of them a dol
lar for his vote, nor did I ever see them steal
anything. But when we see a poor, miserable
cuss, who never had $150 in his life, come to
Austin, borrow money to pay his expenses, and
presently find him losing a thousand dollars in
a night at faro, driving aronnd in a fancy team,
making liquor bills, wine bills, and all sorts of
bills, and baying a bnggy and fine horses to go
home in, we know he is a thief as well as if we
had seen him steal.”
Why this cap fits some folks that were loaf
ing abont Atlanta last winter, just as if it had
been made for them. It is really wonderful,
wonderful!

Editors Telegraph and Messenger: I sup'
pose that yon would like to have reports from
every section of the cotton growing country.
The report that I shall make will be a gloomy
one indeed. Rain, rain all the time; torrents of
rain. We have had rain almost continually for
toe last four weeks. The cotton cannot grow
a3 we have no sunshine. The bolls are rotting
by thousands, and if this weather shonld con
tinue much longer the cotton crop will be a
failure. Iho clouds now at this time look
heavy and threatening. I think in ten days
more fnlly one half of the cotton crop will be
rotten and consequently totally lost. We have
lost all hopes—don’t expect to save mnch of
this crop. We worked hard to make it Seems
to us very hard indeed to lose it. Everybody

The Fever at Charleston.—The Charleston
Courier, of Monday, has toe following compara
tive statement of toe deaths from yellow fever
in toe years 1854, 1858, and toe present year:
In toe epidemic of 1854, the fever began to
show itself abont the middle of August, and np
to the 19th there were 4 deaths; to 26th 20
deaths; to September 2d, 26 deaths; to 9tb, 70
deaths; to 16th, 127 deaths.
In the epidemio of 1858 there was bnt 1 death
from fever np to tho 7th August; to the 14th, 6
deaths; to 21st, 28 deaths; to 28to, 89 deaths;
to September 4to, 73 deaths; to 13th, 103 deaths.
This year, up to the 15th September, to which
an approximation of dates has been made above
the deaths have been 55. These figures sink
into insignificance when compared with the two
epidemio years, and show toe folly of character
izing toe fever as an epidemio.
Sunshine Again.—After a very hard rain
Tuesday night, and a murky, chilly forenoon,
yesterday, the sun showed his welcome face
abont 2 p. m., and made a brave rally the rest
of toe day. It was good for everybody, and
everything, and especially for cotton. We hope
to see more of it to-day, and for the next two
weeks. If the bears of Liverpool and New
York who are pushing cotton down, conld b^
made to walk through some of the drowned out;
cotton fields of this section they would change
their taotics. We have great faith that they Will
catch it hot within the next sixty days.
Somebody sends U3 a printed copy of a letter
addressed to Horaoe Greeley by “Lieutenant
Governor” Dnnn, of Louisiana, on the subject
of the recent troubles between toe two wings of
the J acobin party of that State. As onr tone is
folly occupied with matters of muoh more mo
ment, we are forced to the reluct ant—almost
tearful—confession that we have not, and shall
not, read this puffed np darkey’s screed, and
that therefore we do not feel nnder any special
obligations to the unknown sender thereof. Onr
devout prayer is that both Dnnn and Warmonth,
and their tag-rag-and-bobtail following, may
devour each other as Bpeedily as possible.
