L- ... Telegraph & Messenger. THURSDAY MORNING. AUGUST 10. 1871. IVlint Is to bo tbe Growing Cotton Crop. Wo see that Messrs. Norton, Slangbtor & Company, ol Now York, have finally settled this problem, so that there need be no more talk about it In their last circular they say with no "serious disaster to the growing crop between now and the 1st of October, a fair average crop of 4,250,000 to 3,500,000 bales is not only probable but quite certain. It may bo even largely in excess of this outside figure, but even at the minimum, with largo supplies now in sight, including the heavy stocks held by the spinners, both in this country and in Europe, a cotton famine is impossible, and no extreme prices to be apprehended.” And, again,-further on they say: The labor capacity of tbe Sonth is equal to over 4,000,000 bales, as the lasP crop fully at tests ; and we are assured by intelligent planters end merchants in several sections of the South, that at much cotton will be raited at can be gathered, and that tho negroes everywhere are now working zealously and better than at any time sinoo tho war. Now as the last crop shows that the Sonth can gather about four and a half million bales, why should Norton & Slaughter pour a million bales of contempt on their own estimate in this way. Nobody asks them to do it; but having done it, with what conscience can they sneer at tho Ag ricultural Bureau as a nuisance which should be "abolished andabated," because tho Bureau has talked about a crop ranging from 2,500,000 to 3,500,000 bales? Enlargement of the Angustn Canal. The Mayor of Augusta submitted the report of Engineer O. A. Olmstead to the Oity Coun cil last Monday. The plan embraces 36,805 feet of canal at an estimated total cost of $371,610 56. This will produce a mechanical force equal to 10,560 horse power on thirty feet fall, which at ten dollars per horse power yearly rentage would be worth $105,600 per annum. The actual rentage to be paid by the Augusta and Oglethorpe factories wilt amount to $28,- 000, which would pay interest on $400,000. The Profits or Legislating in South Caro lina.—The collapse of the negro thieves in Charleston has resulted in quarrels and disclos ures. One “Rev. H. H. Houtor” charges Pre siding Elder Coin, editor of the "Missionary Record,” and a State Senator from Charleston, with persistent efforts to bribe him to vote for a street railroad bill. Hunter says Cain taunted him with bis folly in refusing bribes and told him, in 1868, that although be came to Charles ton without money enough to pay freight on his bsggage, yet up to that time ho had put away $20,000 over and above all the real estate he had bought in tho city. Cain told him “to get money—you will be accused of getting it. I believe in the game myself. I always take the money." We don’t know to what part of the American domestic mission service, "Daddy Cain” is attaohed—but in a financial aspect ho is a voritable black diamond. Beginning School in Sfptembeb.—A corres pondent complains that tho City Sahools of Macon, " unlike all other cities,” begin their fall sessions in September when many people aro away, and whioh is the most siokly month of the yoar. He says experience shows that all our schools number a third more pupils by tho first of October than they did at tbe opening of tbo term in September. He SHks that we shall give the matter a place and recommend a change of terms—let them begin and end later in the season. Wo give place to his suggestion, which seems to be a reasonable one, sud yet wo suppose the practice of opening school in Sep tember has not become established without some substantial considerations favoring it. Guns and Ieon Plating.—Teo British gov ernment has lately launched the "Devastation,” a monster iron-clad, with an armor plating 12 inobos thick in her moat exposed parts. She is 285 feet long—weighs 9,090 tons—draws twenty- six feet and makes eleven miles an hour. In cluded in her armament are two Frazer-rifled guns, each weighing tbiity-five tons. Now, a Frazer gan weighing only twenty-five tons shot a bolt through a target faced with fourteen inches of iron upon a foot of teak wood. Are not these two guns floating upon the Do variation tangible demonstrations of the impossibility of making shot-proof war ships. A single shot from either one of them might sink the "Devastation.” The New Goveenment op Charleston.—The Courier Bays that a careful examination of the various acts on the subject, shows that tho new City Government canuot be installed before the first Wednesday in November next Can anything illustrate the animus of tbo Radicals more strongly than that they 6honld have required the election of a oity government in Augost, to begin thoir official terms in November! Radi calism seems to have every whers but one ob- jeot—to bedevil and obstruct a government of the people. Good News fbom Putnam Countv.—The election held on Monday, the 7th inst, resulted in tho ohoioo of Dr. J. A. Etheridge, a sound and reliable Domocrat. Fall particulars in our next Foreign Seeds.—We are indebted to Mr. Jas. Milne for the following foreign seeds: Green Top Scotch Yellow Turnip, Devonshire Groy Stone Turnip, Pomeranian White Globe, Bronze Top Swocdo, Red Globe Mangol. These and others can be found on sale at Mr. Beggs’ grocery storo. The Dunn Warmouth Convention met in New Orleans yesterday. Double delegates claimed seats from almost every part of the State. Dann leads the negro and administra tion foroes. Warmouth heads the carpet-bag gers and scalawags. A general row was antici pated. The Eatonton Messenger asks us to repub lish the Ohio Platform so that he can give a place to it in his paper. As we are scant of room we will print it up at leisnro and send it to him. We can’t get up an interest in this platform fight do the best wo will. A coctle of quarrelsome colored St. Louis citizens appealed unto the pistol for a decision, and one was shot squarely in the forehead. It was no use, however, for the buljet was flattened out as thin as a penny, and did the recipient no injury. Catholic Reconstruction.—Tho Doellinger movement in Germany looks to a reconstruction of Catholicism in the Empire. See the report of the meeting at Heidelberg last Sunday. Our columns are crowded with financial ex hibits of the city. We are told they will not be good to look at, but so far we hava not seen them. Southern Radicals show their devotion to the cause of education by stealing the school fund. Picnic parties near Paris are apt to break up in disorder by treading on stray shells. Next winter several fashionable New York belles aro to take the veil. The Millerites have set September 3 for their newest departure. __ In Chicago you can thrash your mother-in-law for $75. mmmm TIIK <;k«msgia PICKS*. Mr. Baraoy Barron died in Washington coun ty last wook, aged 103 years. Mr. William Hopkins, of Sandersvillo, died very suddenly of congestion of the brain in Camden county, last week. Eatonton shipped 8,133 bales of cotton from 1st September last, to present date. Tho Sandersvillo Georgian says: It is generally conceded by business men in this community that the scarcity of money the present snaunor lias never before been c<jnnl- od. Notb'ng, in tho way of profit, was realized from tho crop of last year, and being depend ant entirely upon ag.icnUural resources, the time3 have been extraordinary hard. Tbe fu ture however presents many bopefnl features. More than ordinary oci jorny has been exer cised by all classes. But little, if any money has been drawn upon the present crop; people are less in debt lo banks and commission houses, and what they owe is principa’ly at home. _A reasonable price for cotton with a fair grain and provision crop, will bringjthe country all right. Mr. Powell Vincent’s gin-house, in Putnam county, with four or five bales of coltou, was burned last Sunday night. The aggregate value of Putnam county taxa ble property for 1871, is $1,661,712, against $1,400,000 last year, showing an increase of $271,712. The number of polls is 1,508- whites 508, black 1,000. There are only four teen professional men in the county. A black bird named Lewis Livingston, who had broken jail at Opelika, where he was caged on a charge of house burning, was recaptured in Columbus, Tuesday. Tbo cry in Columbus, just now, is for more mechanics. The Enquirer says the principal article in the vegetable line in market, at pres ent, in com field pea3—which have the merit, at least, of being “very fifing,” at almost any price. The "Farmer’s Club of Baldwin county,” has just been organized, with W. G. McKinley, as President, L. Carrington, as Secretary, and B. N. Lamar, Assistant Secretary. We clip the following from the Savannah News, of Tuesday: A Man Arrested and Brought to the City on a Charge of Passing Counterfeit Curren cy—More Suspected.—Martin N. Kirby, a citi zen of Lowndes county, was arrested on the affidavit of a party changing b ! m with passing counterfeit United States secp'ities of the des cription of National Bank notes of various de nominations. Kirby was arrested upon a war rant issued by the United States Commissioner Henry O. Wayne, and brought to the city. The cose will be investigated as soon as tho witnesses can be obtained. There are several other parties in Southwest Georgia who are suspected of the crime of passing counterfeit mona, and whose arrest is contemplated in a short. me. These have been informed against by a party who war arrested some time since and held upon sufficient evi dence being add teed to satisfy tbe examining conrt of bis gu’ii, or jinplicity, in the char 0 e against him, viz: circuiting counterfeit money. Supposed Robbery.—A gentleman well known in the city, is said to have been robbed on Sat urday night of abont aix thousand five hundred dollars. Ho had sold a pieoe of property on Saturday, and received tho above amonnt in part payment, putting tbe money in his pocket until he could place it Rafely away. On rising from his bed on Sunday morning and examin ing bis pockets he discovered that bis money, amounting to six thousand five hundred dollars was gone. Ho cannot account, for bis loss, ex cept that some pick-pocket robbed him. A fire in Weiland’s f.o't store, corner of Whitaker street and B iy lane, Savarne'i, Tues day morning, canned a loss of $600 which, however, is fully covered by insurance. Tbe Savannah Advertiser, of Tuesday, gives the following details of the negro riot down there mentioned in onr dispatches of that date: Outrageous Conduct of a Colored Pic-Nio Party.—The Colored Butchers’ Benevolent As sociation gave a pic-mo ut White Bind yester day, which was l»-gely attended, hy the colored fraternity of both sexes, the major portion of tho males in attendance being drank, and as their actions will show, were guilty of tho most violent conduct. After arriving at White Bluff tho pic-nickers separated in groups, a large number of them, provided with cards, passing away the time in gambling and caronsing. In the afternoon, a short time before the train left, some fifteen or twenty negroes, who were gamb ling at a Mr. Barite's, fell into a difficulty, when Jncob Kaiser, a white butcher, who was present, managing to mix himself in the quarrel, was set upon by tho entire party of negroes, and compelled to use his revolver. The ball took effect in the loft shon'der of one of the ring leaders, named Jim Adams. Kaiser, after shoot ing Adams, who, though painfully, is not seri ously injured, was compelled to make his escape from the crowd by running into the house of a white person at the bluff. After leaving White Bluff the majority of the negroes, being drank, kept np the wildest excitement and nproarons conduct until arriving at Sand Fly Station, where a fight ensued, in which Jack Thompson, a negro, was cut with a knife, bnt not danger ously. During the progress of the difficulty, the con testants rnshed into and through the pas ,-nger cars, alarming females to a terrible extent, and so great wore the fears of the Is tor that they accompanied the train to tbe Isle of Hope rath- e> than remain at the station until its return. Wo omitted to state above that Mr. George Al len, the conductor, after lockirg his coat in a room in one of the cars, leaving it to attend to some duties about the train, bad bis garment with nine dollars, which were in one of the pockets, stolen by some of the paity who enter ed the room by the window. On the return of the Isle of Hope train to Sand Fly Station, the waiting cars were made ready and coupled several times, bnt as often as the coupling pin was used it would be taken out bylhe negroes, until it was finally broken, when the locomotive started off with the passen ger cars and several of the box cars containing the pio-nickera. Two of the latter, however, with their crowded excursionists, were left behind. The train arrived at a quarter past eight o’clock last evening, and there were some signs of a drunken row or two, but the presence of a strong police force kept everything quiet We find the following in the Monroe Adver tiser of yesterday, Fibe.—We regret to learn of the destruction, by fire, of tho dwelling house of Mr. Wm. Walker, of this county. His loss was heavy, as the building, with all its contents, includmg the apparel of the family, were destroyed. Sale Day.—Sale day, last week, was one of the dullest ever experienced in Forsyth. Neither the sheriff, “or any other man,” had anything to offer, and tho absence of the usual crowd gave strong evidence that the ancient glory of “ sale day ” is one of the th-'nga that were. Sickness.—We regret to learn of the preva lence of fever in the county to a greater extent than usual. Mr. David Ogletrce is now laying very low, and we hear of other cases. Messrs. B. H. Zallner and W. B. Meek have been suf ferers, bnt are now convalescent. Negro Row.—On Sunday last a noisy and disgraceful row occurred at the negro meeting house near Tabernacle chnrch. It originated between some boys in a quarrel over some watermelons, and grow in magnitude until tbe whole of tho large crowd present became en gaged. Services were suspended and knives, pistols and clnbs drawn and for some time a general scrimmage seemed to be inevitable, bnt fortunately nothing worse than ahontiDg, threatenings and cursings resulted. Senator Brock, the “lightning calculator,” was in Atlanta, yesterday, and reports thin crops in his “ deestrick,” the 3Sth. The Atlanta street railroad is nearly com pleted. The Messrs. Asbury, at Cave Spring, sold, last week, a full blood Jersey calf, six weeks old, for $95, and a three-year old bull for $200. The Atlanta Constitution tells ns something abont Jim Blue, the negro representative elect, from Glynn county. It says : About a month after Jim was elected he met with a wag and said to him, "see here. Mass John, how's this? Ise been ’leeted a month and hasn’t got a cent. Ain’t I titled to $S per day?” John replied in the affirmative. Jim next enqnired how be vras to proceed to get it. The wag politely made ont the bill for him for thirty days at $3 per day and instructed him to present it to the Ordinary (a Radical) who would pay it. Tho Ordinary grew very angry, and Jim yetrealed before tho Ordinary's np-raised foot' Jim thinks ynt lb" Ordinary onght to pay him. The Dahlonega Signal reports a terrible drought in that county. From one neighbor hood every live thing is fleeing, and even the rabbits are compelled to pack three days’ rations of sun-burned broom-saga to get to new feeding grounds. The Rome Commercial, of yesterday, says: Almost a Case of Poisoning—Five Children Very III from the Effects.—The family of Mr. Weaver, bring on Oostauanla street, con sisting of himself, wife and six children were singularly effected from drinking butter milk last Saturday night. The milk was purchased from Mr. lteese, and drank at supper by the family. At about 11 o’clock Dr. Smith was called in to see them. Mr. and Mrs. Weaver and two of the children wei;e bnt slightly af fected; the other four children were takon with excessive vomiting and purging, with burn ing in the throat and great thirst for water. Abont 1 or 2 o'clock the children were relieved and all fears of a fatal termination dispelled. Two of the children are still confined to bod. Charleston Items. The Charleston Courier, of Tuesday, says the Democratic victory last week has had the effect of greatly improving tho price of city stocks and real estate. A piece of property which was offered at $0000 a fow days before the election caDnot now be purchased at an ad vance of $1000. The Radical negroes were on the rampage again last Saturday night, parading the streets in gangs of fifty to one hundred. "They in dulged in insulting language, brandished sticks, fired pistols and declared war against the Ger mans generally. At the corner of King and Tradd streets they appeared fifty in number, made a rush for Loggermann’s grocery to get hold of two colored men therein, whom they in tended to kill for voting the Conservative ticket. They were so violent that a message had to be dispatched to the guard house for a force of po licemen to disperse them. The colored men inside of the 6tore whom they were waiting to kill, had to be relieved of their perilous situa tion by the policemen who escorted them to a place of safety.” On Monday morning, says the Courier, “Wm. W. Mitchel a white boy thiiceen years of age, whose parents live at the comer of Market and Meeting streets, was sitting on Market wharf, when three colon d boys came along. One of the three, Asbley, said to him, as he took hold of his foot, ‘Tve a good mind to cut it off. William Grant, ano.her of the number, stepped up and said “I will cut it,” at the l qo moment taking a knife which was handed to him by the third boy, and with it giving the white boy a slash on the aDkle just above tbe instep, which severd the sinews and flesh to the bone, making a cut several inches long. The black fiends then ran away laughing.” BY TELEGRAPH. DAY DISPATCHES. New Orleans, Augnst 8.—There will be donble delegations from all the parishes in the State.

New York, August 9.—The Liberia Repub lican, of the 10th of May, states that the Pres idential election took place there on May 2d, and apparently resulted in tbe eloction of Rob erts as President, and Gardner Vice President.

Berryman also exhibits a list of eight or ten steamers which, at various times, were refu=ed certificates by him, but received them from Mathews. He asserts that the latter was actuated by interested motives. Incidentally, also, his statements tend to show that great demoralization exists in the inspection service. Inspector Mathews was re-examined, and he admitted that when in spectors have a great deal of work, they author ize a clerk to make ont certificates and sign the Inspector’s name. Inspectors do not get inside of boilers to test them. New York. August 9 —Four more of the vic tims of the Westfield disaster are expected to die hourly, and another is dead.
