Telegraph & Messenger. SATURDAY MORNING. JULY IS. 1871. nnrlng l)ptt!s of a !>«»«.imtjUc Ulan. 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. Colton Figures.

Editors Telegraph and Messenger;—Here in this rural retreat under the care of mine host of the Collier House, are a goodly crowd anderory thing pleasant. We have a fino rink—an ox- collent band—pretty women—courteous gentle men—pleasant rooms—no mosquitoes—lots of fun—a fine table and everything the most fas tidious could desire. To-morrow a meeting of the stockholders of the Griffin and Madison Railroad is to bo held here, and a large attendance is expeeted. Crisp. 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 ezuela, through tho Agricultural Bureau, is cro> ating a good deal of excitement and discussion. The medioal fraternity are generally disposed to laugh at it, hut Mr. Vice President Colfax cites the case of his mother, who left Washing ton in April last with “an absolutely hopeless 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 ter when Gov. Hoffman’s proclamation came ont The Commercial Advertiser says, accord ing to Kelso's policy, if any body threatens 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 on “Senator Abbott, of North Carolina.” Com. ing in upon the Senator, who was having a sit ting with some of his friends, on the “glorious 4th,” Eagles aceosted the party very politely, 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 melon, so keenly enjoyed the day before, about the melting hour of 4 p. ic It was red as a maiden’s lips or Harris’ hair, and sweet, and ooo), and juicy as natnre and ioe could make it. Woxan'b Wbosos —The New York papers say thero was a file of sixty women at the Essex Market court Tuesday morning—each with a complaint against her mate, for desertion, as sault, beating the children,or some such outrage. What has become of the days of chivalry? Lewis Rice for more than a generation has catered to the public, (a most exacUng oritio,) as proprietor of the American House, Boston. To-d.)y, as ever during that long test, the house of which ho is tho head, stands nt the head of tho New England hotels. The New York papers sny O'Donovan Rossa was so badly hissed and knocked about at a Hi bernian meeting, for counseling orderand peace, that ‘ho tears streamed down his cheeks as he took his seat. ' 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*. Tho roceipte at the porta fortheye&r end ing September 1,1870 2,888 500 Cotton snipped direct to Northern mills. 140.827 Southern consumption 79,843 Burned at porta 5,422 Crop of 1869 and’70 total 3,114,592 Receipts at the porta since 1st Sept. 1870 3,910,692 Received at porta iaatyearfrom 11th July to lat September 48,290 Suppose that tbe Northern mills receive direct, the same amount aa last year, and Southern consumption and burned is same as last year 226,092 Making 4,184,981 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. The victims of tho N6W York riot, np to Fri day noon, numbered 58. What a foolish waste of human life! THE 44 EO KG IA PRESS. 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 of partnership, last Wednesday, which was finally decided by one of them being scientifically sliced with a razor by the other. 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. Per private contract, we advertise Red Head as follows. But really he must do better, or we shall plead failure of contract and draw out. Keep ice constantly on your poll, Pinky, and nevor say die: Shropshire wants to smoke tho calumet of peace with us, and instruot us in the scientific game of seven-up This looks like business. Reese, of the Macon Telegraph, has this: “The Rev. C. W. Thomas, late of St. Phillip’s Church, Atlanta, is recuban* mb tegminepatubie fagi on his farm, near Griffin.” There must be some mistake here. We don’t believe any preacher has come to that. He is not only re ported recuban*, but also patulaefagL Impos sible. It cannot bo. The ambitions thermometers of Brunswick mounted to one bnndred and two last Sunday. This is pretty tight papers on a village that is aspiring for the foreign shingle trade. Baraesville is bnilding a $10,000 Methodist Chnrch. Dennis M. Myers died at Atlanta, Thnrsday afternoon, after an illness of only one hour's du ration. Good red wheat is selling in Romo at from $1 70 to $1 75 per bosbeL New clover hay, not thoroughly enred, at $1 per hundred. 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.
