Mr. Thomns Francis, of Albany, Now York,
finds himself in the newspapers under peculiar
circnmslonces. He is certainly one of the bra rest
Benedicts of whom history gives ns any account.
His first wife killed herself 84 years ago; nine
years after, his second sponse ran away from
him, and died of destitntion in Illinois; six
yean later his third consort was drowned. In
1858 Ms fourth helpmate was killed, and be,
haring been convicted of the murder, was sent
to prison for life, bnt pardoned ont. In another
decade the fifth partner of his bosom mysteri.
onsly disappeared; and very recently the sixth
wedded idol of his soul sought peace and obliv
ion by banging herself to a bedpost. The ac
cumulation of years and experience having
made Thomas s philosopher, he bears his con
nubial bereavements with fortitude and resig
nation.

FuoraECT.—The Parisians aro quoting from
pages 521 and 522 of Let Oracle* SibyUin*, writ
ten by Mademoiselle Lenormnnt in 1817 a fall
prophetic account of the miseries whioh have be
fallen them from the Germans and tho mob in
1870. It ia a pity they neglected the study of
that volume until 1871. They might have de
feated the propheoy if they had heeded it; but
it is of no value except as a wonder. I meant
to have told you of that ditch, said a man to his
companion who was floundering in the mnd of
a dark night It’s of no consequence now, was
the reply. I have fonnd ont all about it
Tbs New Cikceb Cube introduced from Ven

The medioal fraternity are generally disposed
to laugh at it, hut Mr. Vice President Colfax
cites the case of his mother, who left Washing

oaneer, growing fearfully and angrily.” Now,
althongh, in consequence of the scarcity of the
drug (Cundnrango) she has been able to take
ouly quarter doses, tho tnmor is three-fonrths
gone, pain almost gone and every symptom fa
vorable. It onres by depurating the blood.
Tbk radical New York papers of Tuesday give
Mayor Hall and Superintendent Kelso particu
lar ginger for succumbing to the threats of the
Hibernians so for as to order the suppression of
the Orange party. We presume they felt bet

yonr life yon must be shut up until good nature
returns and ho consents to abandon bis violent
purpose.
The inhabitants on the shore of Seneca Lake
(New York) are surprised by the phenomenon
of millions of dead shod floating on the lake
surface. No one oan aeeount for their appear
ance, though the theory is that they are young
shad, resulting from shad garbage containing
both Rexes, being thrown into the lake, the eggs
thus beooming impregnated and fish produced,
which, when they got to a certain age, seek
their native element, salt water, aud unable to
find it, die.
Tbe Macon girls aro distinguishing them
selves. Tho Doyleston Democrat of the 11th
Inst, comes to ns containing a valedictory ad
dress read at the commencement of Oakland
Female Institute, Norristown, Po., by Miss Ellen
E. Jones, of Maoon, Ga. Almost everywhere
this year the lovely young Maconians carry off'
the honors. Now let the Macon lads wake up
and show themselves worthy of tho lassies of
of their generation.
Tux Case Reversed.—A trewly loyal organ
at the North notices tho fact that whereas the
South formerly famished only one-fiftieth of
the inventions of the country, now it far-
nishes one-third, and then adds: “Ten years
ago hardly anything was invented in the Cotton
StateR, exeept lies about the North.” Now tho
case is different. Hardly anything is invented
nt the North, excepting lies about the Cotton
States.
Cady Stanton and Susan B. Anthony have
illustrated their idea of woman’s rights and fe
male character by paying a visit of condolence
and sympathy to Mrs. Fair—now under sen.
tenoe of death for the unprovoked murder of
her paramour, and a woman who has had more
liaaons than she has Ungers and toes. Abandoned
libertinism seems to be their ideal of female
rights.
Tbe “Hon. J S. W. Eagles, colored,” is down

and was told by Abbott, “Go oat on the back
piazza and I will see yon, sir, directly.” Eagles
is incensed.
Fine Melon.—We omitted, yesterday, to
make due acknowledgment to onr neighbors,
the Walker Brothers, for that luscious water

Tlie Cotton < rop.
Dryasdnst lathered onr correspondent and
ourselves for saying there will be « short cotton
crop. He’a traveled and knows better. He is
as wise as any man who has been to Millodge-
villo, and crowns his wisdom by volunteering
advice to planters to hold on to their cotton till
they can get twenty-five cents for it. We shonld
hate to be held responsible for such counsel.
Boots, in today's paper, shows some proba
bility that the cotton product of 1870 may reach
somewhere between four and a quarter and four
and a half millions, and he gives that of 18C9 at
3,114,592 bales. We have usually put it at
3,154,946, and these aro the figures in the Year
Book. The crop of 18G9 was generally con
sidered above an average, except in Texas whore
it was short. Let ns look at the figures since
the war, and, in doing so, we class the crop
from the year of its production and not from
the ends of two years in which it reached the
market:
Crop of 1865.. .2,193.9871 Crop of 1868.. .8,439.039
Crop of 1866.. .2,019,774 Crop of 1869.. .3,154.916
Crop of 1867.. .2.693.993 | Crop of 1870.. .4,250,000
Here are 16,051,729 bales produced in six
years, or an average of 2,675,288 bales a year.
The figures show no very wide variation until
we come to 1869. Up to that time there is such
a general enrrent of increase as we shonld an
ticipate from the gradual subsidence of the dis
orders and disturbing effects of the civil war,
modified by the ordinary fluctuations in tho
character of the seasons.
Now it is an unquestioned fact that during
all this time there has been no very material
change in the volume of negro cotton-produc
ing labor. It has not increased, and all believe
that it has fallen off considerably. We think
the loss has been more than supplied by white
labor, bnt that is a mere opinion and tbe in
crease wonld be immaterial in any event. To
what, then, are we to attribute the sadden and
extraordinary increase in the volume of thelast
two cotton crops? We see it was, in 1869,550,-
933 bales, and in 1870, 1,G57,000 bales moro
than in 18G7 tho highest previous year ? We
aro drivoD, undor the facts, to look for it in the
sadden and abundant introduction of fer
tilizers and the concnrrent effects of nnnsnally
propitious arsons; and this hypothesis agrees
with known facts.
It seems to ns, in view of all the premises, an
average crop now conld not very much exceed
the average of the whole six years. The Year
Book says the area cultivated in 1870 may turn
ont less than three million bales, and wo have
asserted that the crop of 1870 was fifteen to
twenty per cent above avorage, whioh we think
is a moderate calculation. We do not look for
an average cotton crop this year, and although
cotton may not go up to twenty-five cents, we
suppose it will be high enough seriously to
cripple planters by stimulating a cotton mania
—over prodnetion and tho abandonment of
food crops.
Cotton Crops ol' I860 aud 1870,
Editor* Telegraph and Messenger-. For the
benefit of certain parties who write the aotton
“Crop,” I would state that the crop of 1869 and
1870 is given as follows, by the Cotton Brokers’
Association of New York,
bale*.

The receipts for tbe two weeks past are folly
80 per cent, over Inst year. And as the receipts
at all ports nre in excess of last year over a
million bales, is it not reasonable to calculate
something like a corresponding increase of re
ceipts direct to the Northern mills? And if the
increase is in same ratio, and receipts at ports
oontinne at the same rate of per cent, over last
year for the balance of tho year, why not say
the crop of 1870 and 1871 is nearer 4,500,000
bales? In the face of a largo crop one of yonr
writers says that 250,000 bales were held over
from the crop of 1869 and 1870. How much
will now be bold back in the faco of a small
“cotton crop” for 1871 ? Boots.
<’roi>s in Florida.
From the Floridian of Wednesday wo quele
the following crop report for that State:
The Crops —We can say very little good of
the growing crops. On some plantations cotton
is looking fair, while on others it is grassy and
unpromising. The rains have been so heavy
and continuous as to demand a heavy struggle
with grass. We heard a gentleman remark last
week that he had rarely seen so little fruit on
eotton os now. This is particularly true as to
late cotton, bnt the earlier gives more promise.
There is no donbt as compared with lost year
that the depreciation is at least 25 per cent, if
not more. On the flat lands everywhere in
the State, the weed is well nigh drowned out.
Nor is the com crop promising. On the higher
lands, where it has been well worked, there will
be fully an average yield; bnt where there haB
been a failure to work it, very little will be
made. A farmer from Miccosnkie informs ns
that on the line of the road from that neighbor
hood to Thomasvilie there are hundreds of
of acres which will not yield half a bushel to
the acre. Grass is to be seen eveiywhere, the
stalks spindling and burned to the very tassels.
There is a great deal of “come ont" in ootton,
bnt none for com after this time of year. What
is not made now is beyond recovery.
The Coming Bonnet.—The New York cor
respondent of the St. Lotus Republican gives
the following interesting information upon a
very important matter:
Bcnnits.—That’s the only word that looks
like the awfnl things—great coal scuttle fronts
that will project over the face at least six inches
on top. Then the ancient cup crown is to be
revived. For the first they will be made withont
capes; then the capes will areep in,^nd we
shall be back to the sky-scrapers of 1858 o. This
is a device of the enemy, tne milliners, who are
distracted at the mites of hats that any lady can
trim for herself. The fall ones aro to be of
silk and velvet, and it will reqnire more room to
bnild one in than can be spared in large fami
lies. And oh! the cloth it will take to cover
’em. I’m going to get a neat little door-plate
with my autograph engraved upon it, put it np
in trout of mine, say “farewell vain world,”
and retire within the recesses of my fall hat.
Then, of coarse, the hairy top-knots we have
been throwing np on onr heads have got to
come down to get onr big bonnets on. Those
ladies who have got fonr hairs on one side and
six or eight on the other, can’t go the “simply
brushed back” style. That class will stick to
the round hats like a shipwrecked mariner to
bis hen coop.
The Montgomery and Eufaula Railroad.—
Of the present ttatu* and the prospects for an
early completion of this road the Eufanla
News of Wednesday says:
We have bad the pleasure of a visit from
Capt. J. F. Whitfield, General Agent of the
Montgomery and Enfanla Railroad, to whom we
are indebted for the following particulars with
reference to this road.
Within the next ten days trains will be run
ning to Fort Browder, distant from onr city
only about fourteen miles. The track laying
will have extended some distance this side of
Fort Browder, bnt this will be the present ter
minus of the road for the reason that to bring
tho regular trains farther, would interfere with
the construction trains. The grading is com
pleted to within a short distance of town. There
is nothing to interfere with the track laying ex
cept tbeiunnmerable tressle bridges to be erect
ed. Not less than sixty are necessary between
this point and Union- Springs. The road will
certainly be completed and regnlar trains run
ning through by the 1st of October.

Mr. John King, the Colninbns banker, broke
his leg, by a misstep, at his residence, near that
city, Wednesday night
Mr. Josiah Flournoy, who was superintendent
for Wilkins & Bro., in the construction of the
Macon and Augusta Railroad bridge over the
Ocmulgee River, at this place, has been chosen
constructing engineer for the Columbus and
Rgme Railroad.
We quote as follows from the Columbus En
quirer, of Thursday:
“Look Out tor the Engine.”—The contract
for bnilding the first twenty miles from Colum
bus of the North and South Railroad was yes
terday let to A. J. Lane & Co. and John T.
Grant &, Co., two of the wealthiest and most
go-ahead firms in the South. The work to be
done embraces road bed and entire superstruc
ture necessary for the running of trains. Work
will be commenced in twenty days, and the
road in running condition in leRs than twelve
months. At least five hundred hands are to be
employed. The three foot gauge was adopted,
which, in the estimation of great railroad men,
will result in tbe completion of the entire line
to Chattanooga in two years, and insnre a pay
ing investment. The subscriptions of Harris,
Tronp, Heard and Rome having completed the
capital stock, required by the charter for organ
ization, a meeting of stockholders will be called
within the next thirty days for permanent or
ganization. As soon as the necessary profiles
can be furnished by the Chief Engineer, another
twenty miles, extending southward from Rome,
will be put under contract. Thus, the road has
been pressed to its present favorable condition
by tho corporators, who, under the charter, are
clothed with the poweis of directors, until tho
regnlar organization can bo effected. The first
ten miles have been located, and as the other
ten will depend upon the corporative subscrip
tions of the Hamilton and Whitesville lines,
our Harris county friends shonld be up and do
ing with all possible dispatch.
Two ice cream merchants of the off color,
down at Savannah, had an argument on the law

The Constitutionalist, of Thnrsday, furnishes
ns tho following items:
Destructive Fire.—Tho dwelling of Mr.
Hezekiah Williams, on tho Waynesboro’ road,
seventeen miles below Augusta, was entirely
consumed, together with its contents, by fire last
Tuesday morning, about 1 o’clock. Mr. Wil
liams was awakened by a roaring noise, and
glancing around, discovered that tho house was
in flames. So far had the devouring element
progressed that the family barely had time to
escape, minus everything but the night clothing
they had on. Everything was completely de
stroyed, and Mr. Williams loft withont home,
furniture or clothing. It was a most terrible
calamity to Mr. Williams, who is an industrious
man, and one of the most esteemed citizens of
Richmond county. The origin of the fire is as
yet unknown.
Sad Occurrence—A Noble Boy.—A very sid
accident occurred in tho village of Granitevillo
yesterday. A little girl, the daughter of Mr.
John L. Atkinson, while attempting to cross
the trestle of the Charlotte, Columbia and Au
gusta Railroad over the Gtaniteville Canal, fell
in. A small boy, only ten or twelve years of
age, named Dempsey Gilliland, saw the child
when she fell and immediately leaped into tho
canal to her rescue. The gallant little hero,
though ho was ouly a few years tho senior of
the girl, and of n very delicate organization,
succeeded in swimming with her nearly to the
bank, when her struggles and convulsive grasp
caused him to sink with her, and they were
both drowned.
A Chapter op Accidents.—The Cartorsville
Express says:
Mr. Attaway of this place was, a few evenings
ago, very badly burned by a lamp explosion at
his house.
S. H. Smith, one of the editors of this paper,
came near having his house set on fire on Tues
day night last from tbe same canse (the lamp
falling and breaking.) His son Popo was slight
ly burned on the legs. We further learn that
in the neighborhood of Cassville, tho house of
Mr. Barrett was destroyed last week from the
same cause, and that from injuries received
daring the fire an estimable lady, the wife of
one of onr best citizens, came near losiug her
life. We see also stated that from another coal
oil explosion at Chattanooga, Miss Lon King,
of that city, lost hor life—and yet the oil sella
The stockholders of the Augusta Savings
Bank have reconsidered their intention to con
vert that institution into a National Bank. Tho
Chronicle and Sentinel gives the following rea
son for the reconsideration:
Some misunderstanding with regard to the
price to be pnid for the United States bonds,
which the law requires to be deposited with tho
Treasurer, is said to have caused tho reconsid
eration. It was generally believed that sub
scriptions to tho new fonr per cent, government
loan wonld be received nt par, bnt it turns out
that subscriptions are received at par in gold
only, or in other words, at a premium of twelve
or thirteen cents on tho dollar.
A free fight between some white men who
were returning from a fnneral at Savannah, on
Wednesday, is the latest sensation down there.
This shows how hot it is iu that latitude.
Major Thompson, of the Savannah News,
though geoera’ly set down as hypercritical in
the matter of his victuals and sleeping accom
modations, is rnop-il to speak these enthusias
tic words about the Kimball House:
It is a very iuiposiug structure, aud it is but
just to say that its internal arrangement, furni
ture, fixtures and general fitting up are in per
fect keeping with its external pretensions. It
is, without doubt, in every respect one of the
most elegant and admirably arranged hotels in
the Union. It is also well kept by the present
lessee, and is a justly popular resort both of the
traveling public and pleasure seekers. As we
viewed its spacious saloons, its elegantly fur
nished parlors and chambers, its splendid mir
rors and rich carpets, the Inxury aud elegance
of its entire outfit, wo thought how much it
must have cost the State to build and furnish
snch a princely establishment.

Captain John Towns, for 22 years a citizen of
Marray county, died last week, aged 87 years.
Says the Dalton Citizen, of yesterday:
The cattle in Catoosa connty are dying with
murrain. Qaite a number have died in and
around Dalton, since our last issue, with the
same disease.
The sweet potatoe crop in this connty is very
large, and promises an abundant yield. The
corn crop, generally, is looking very well. The
oats crop has turned out a much better yield
than was anticipated.
We clip as follows from the Griffin Georgian,
of yesterday:
The Crops.—Notwithstanding the excessive
wet weather in the early part of the season,
and the need of rain now m some localities,
corn continues to look green and prosperous,
and bids fair to turn out a handsome yield. A
few more timely uhowers will result in the
largest com crop made in this section since tho
war. While cotton hits been kept bark in con
sequence of the large amonut of rain, and the
almost impossibility of keeping it clean, the
very favorable weather for the last ten or fifteen
days has produced a wocderfnl change in the
weed, and the prospects are new that a much
better crop will be made than was at first antic
ipated.
Visitors From the Low Country.—We are
pleased to leam that at this time there aro sev
eral families from the low country in town, and
that many others are expected at an early day.
Amongst those who are here, are Major Davis
and family, Dr. Macon and family, Mrs. Gilbert
and others from Albany. Also Cob Bates and
family, Mrs. McDonald and family, Captain
David Clark, Capt. Farley, and probably some
others from Savannah.
The Constitution, of yesterday, stands cred
ited with these items:
Negro Suffocated.—A colored well-digger
was suffocated by the foul gas in a well on the
premises of Mr. Hays, some five or six miles
from the city, in the Holbrook settlement, on
Wednesday. His remains had not been taken
ont of the well yesterday.
Homicide.—We leam that on Wednesday
night the son of Mr. Henry Irby, at Buck-Head,
was shot in the head and instantly killed by a
carpenter engaged in erecting a house for Mr.
Hby. Young Irby who was killed, was about 21
or 22 years of age. We Lave not ascertained the
origin of the difficulty.
Coup de Sot.tft..—A negro man engaged in
working on a new house going up for Cob J. D.
Robinson, died yesterday from tho effects of a
6un stroke on Saturday. A white man whose
name we could not leam, also died yesterday
from tbe effects of a snn stroke on Wednesday.

A PROCiAIttATION.
GEORGIA:
By Rufus B. Bullock, Governor of said Stats.
Whereas, Official information has been received
at this Department that one Pleus Fricks, a noto
rious character, has of late committed many depre
dations upon the good and law abidiDg citizens of
LtunpLin county, and the counties adjacent thereto,
and that several indictments are now pending
against him in thcee counties, charging him with
assault with intent to murder, arson, horsestealing,
and other divers crimes: and,
Whereas, Notwithstanding the diligent efforts by
the civil authorities in endeavoring to apprehend
the said Fricks, he has succeeded iu eluding their
vigilance, and is still at large, greatly to the terror
and the disturbance of the peace and good order of
said communities:
Now, therefore, believing that the offering of a
euitable award is essential as a means of bringing
to justice the said Fricks, I have thought proper to
issue thi3, my proclamation, hereby offering a re
ward of FIVE HUNDRED DOL LABS for tho appre
hension and delivery of the said Pbzus Fricks to
the Sheriff of Lumpkin comity,and an additional re
ward or FIVE HUNDRED DOLLARS on his con
viction of any of the felonies with which he stands
charged.
Given under my hand and the Great Seal of the
State, at tho Capitol in Atlanta, this the twelfth
day of July, in the year of our Lord Eighteen
Hundred and Seventy-one, and of the Independ
ence of the United States of America tho Ninety-
sixth.
