SATURDAY MORNING. AUGUST 12, 1871.
“Cotton Demi Hair
Sacb, wo see, was the encouraging memoran
dum of the markot situation by onrcity reporter
yesterday—the last quotation being sixteen cents
for middling, established a decline from 1st of
Jnly np to 8th Angnat of three and a half cents.
Bnt on the 10th there wero no pnrchaserfl. No
body wanted cotton at sixteen cents a pound,
and that makes the deadness of the flat. Cotton
was not only flat on its back, bnt it had not life
enough left to kick.
Some weeks ago wo ventured the conjecture
that cotton would gradually settle and flactuato
downward to a very low figure—perhaps twelve
cents—before a reaction took place; and we are
afraid that guess will become truth. That wonld
make about eight oonts margin fromtho highest
point of last summer. Well, in May, 1870, cot
ton was in the neighborhood of twenty-ono
cents, and last winter it got down to twelve, and
below. Eight cents profit on a pound of cot
ton to middle men is one of the most consoliDg
things in tho world. A friend told ns the other
day ho knew a gentleman of high standing in
Georgia and elsewhere, who mado $400,000 by
his operations in this behalf on last year's crop.
The law of down in the winter anS up in the
summer has got to be so well settled a “move
ment” of the crop, that it is anticipated almost
as a matter of oourso. Nobody would, in fact,
object to the thing, in moderation, but the jump
ing is too high or the tumbling too low, put it
whichever way you will. If Mr. Farmer were
only out of debt be could quiotly store his cot
ton away, turn the key upon it and let It jump
or tumble as it might till ho wasroadyto sell,
But so long as ho is m debt hero and there for
corn, bacon, mules, forage, and guano, he most
sustain his credit at whatever price. He can
far better afford to lose the monoy than lose his
character. Tho moral of tho whole matter is:
Strive to get and keep ont of debt. Bong and
struggle for the day when tho time for market
ing your crops can be dictated by your judgment
and not by yonr necessities.
The Koine Convention.
On Wednesday the discussion upon home-
mado vs. commercial fertilizers, was continued
with much interest. During the debate Judge
Bcbley, of Chatham, mado a speech which ox-
cited great interest, and he was requested to
furnish a report for publication. Somo amend
ments to the constitution were discussed, lim
iting delegations to one member from eaoh sub
ordinate society. No vote was taken npon
them. The Convention attendod the Floyd
Oonnly Fair in a body end enjoyed a fine col
lation on tho grounds. In the afternoon, re
suming the discussion of the fertilizer qnestion.
Col. D. E Bntler stated ic his speech that there
wore used in Georgia, in 1870, nearly 100,000
tons of commercial fertilizers—value $8,000,000,
whioh is about one-fourth of the value of tho
ootton crop of Georgia last year.
The Committee of the Georgia University
and a delegation from MiUedgevillo, consisting
of the Mayor and ten citizens, desired to be
hoard on the question of establishing an agri
cultural school at Athens or at Milledgevtlle,
and the hearing was appointed for Thursday
morning at nine o'olock. In the evening Gen.
Gordon addressed the Convention on the sub
ject of Education in the Sonth.
Domestic Exports—It appears from the offi
oiol returns of commeroo to the Treasury De
partment that the value of domestie exports at
tho ten principal ports of the United States,
daring the fiscal year 1870, was as follows:
1. New York $209,972,491
2. New Orleans 107,G58,042
3. San Francisco .12,180,021
4. Savannah 29,739,058

8. Baltimore 14,330,248
9. Boston 12,251,267
10. Charleston 10,872.071
A total of $471,122,512. Dednotthe the value
of Southern products from this snm total and
the comparatively small remainder would be
principally California gold and silver and petro-
loum.

There—Koustli Jokes »n*t 11 4 urloiis Bride-
prooin.
The Peoria (III ) Republican of July 24 has a
lively description of a rural wedding at I orest
City, a village not a great distance from that
city, which is funny reading. The bridegroom
was 40, and the bride a blushing damsel of 20.
No parson could be found, so they had to fall
back upon a young chap who bad just been
elected a squire. He was as nervous as a hen
on a hot griddle, of course, and had brought
along with thim two law books, from one of
which he expected to get the form for the cere
mony. It was not there, though, and the crowd
getting impatient he ordered the parties to hold
up their right bands and proceeded to orate as
follows:
“ You and each of yon do solemnly swear that
in the cause now npon hearing yon will tell the
truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the
truth, and that you will love, honor, cherish,
and obey each other during the term of yonr
natural lives, so help you God.”
Both answered solemnly “I will,” and the
squire collected a dollar a piece from them, and
pronounced them man and wife. Then a jug
of whisky was produced, a punch was brewed,
all hands took a drink, and a dance without music
commenced. They were soon tired of this, and
concluded to put the yonng couple to bed. The
bride said she was willing because she was tired
and her shoes hurt her feet. The groom’s
friends then proposed to disrobe him and put
him to bed, but he swore they shonldn’t, and a
big scuffle ensued. He got mad, and after
blacking one fellow's eye and tearing another’s
coat off his back, the whole crowd got ont of
the room and tnmbled down stairs, landing in
the bar-room below, where all took a drink and
made friends. He still demurred to being dis
robed, and his friends got a rope, and tying it
over his head, attempted to drag him up stairs,
which operation only resulted in nearly choking
him to death, and somebody cut the Tope. Then
they tied the rope to his leg, and tried to drag
him up that way, but only succeeded in demol
ishing a lounge and tearing down the hand rail
and banistors. They then gave np the idea of
getting him np stairs, and finding a ladder, they
entered the bridal chamber through the window
and nailed np tho door hard and fast. They then
hid tho ladder and went off. He tried to kick
open the door, bat the landlord said bo mnsn’t
damage bis fnrnitnre in that style. Then he
searched for the ladder, bnt in vain, and it was
only at 4.30 tho next morning, and by aid of a
ladder he walked a mile to borrow, that he suc
ceeded in getting into hia room. The next day
tho party returned home, declaring they had
hod the j clliest wedding ever known in that sec
tion.

A “Forged Dispatch.”
There is a telegram from Washington among
the dispatches to day which says “some friends
of Grant olaim that bis absnrd dispatch to Earl
Dalkeith must be a forgery.” We were at loss
to imagine what this “absnrd dispatch” might
be, nntil wo fonnd, by inquiry, that it had beon
omitted by the printers, in respect to pressure
on onr columns of Friday. The “absnrd de
spatch” read as follows:
Long Branch, Angnst 10.—To the Right Hon
orable, the Earl of Dalkeith, Edinburg, Scot
land : Owing to absence from home I did not
receive yonr congratnlations and expressions of
friendship for the American people, in time to
send a reply to be read at the Continental cele-,
bration of that eminent scholar and historian
whose date yon commemorate. The American
people who have been instructed and edified by
Sir Walter Seotts’ works of history, poetry and
fiction, will highly appreciate yonr cordial ex
pressions of friendship, and reciprocate them
in all sincerity.
[Signed.] U. S. Grant.
Now it must be malice or want of candor to
set np suoh a plea for the “absnrd dispatch.”
But does the absurdity rest on Grant’s plea of
absence from Jlome,” i. e. Long Branch, or
in the phrase “celebration of that eminent
scholar and historian whose date you commemo
ratef" It is a little awkward and unusual, bnt
right, according to Wobatcr—Boo third ciguifloa-
lion of celebration—“Praise, renown, honor or
distinction bestowed, whether by songs, eulo-
giep, or rites and ceremonies.” In short, we
soo nothing absurd in the dispatch, though the
whole of it is exceedingly awkward; bnt liter
ary awkwardness in the most venial of Grant’s
sins.
THE UKOlUiI.4 I*HESS.
A meeting of tho citizens of ColumbtLs favor
able to building a railroad from that city to
Albany was held Wednesday night, and a report
recommending a subscription thereto of $200,-
000 by the city, unanimously adopted.
The Columbus papers report a heavy rain
storm in that city, Wednesday, during which
three or four bouses were struck by lightning,
and several persons shocked. One case is thus
noticed by the Snn:
The residence of Mr. D. E. Williams, comer
of Jackson and Thomas streets, was damaged
greatly. The lightning struck a large oak tree
in the yard, tearing it badly, and descending,
struck the corner of the building, tearing weath
erboarding off, and went into the room where
Mr. Williams and his wife were reclining on the
bed. The bolt tore the four poets of the bed
to pieces, and the bed fell to the floor. Mr. W.
was asleep at the time. Providential to relate,
neither he nor his wife were injured, bnt badly
stunned. Their escape from instant death is
laid to the fact that the bed was covered with a
wire canopy—the wires being sunk into the
posts, and they acted as conductors. A young
son of Mr. Williams’, asleep at the time in his
crib, was not awakened. Flanks from off the
house were hurled with tremendous force into
the middle of the street, and one piece three
feet long, drove into the wall of the room where
Mr. W. and family were sleeping. The mas-
quito net was scorched but did not take fire,
and the sheets were split in several places. The
bark of the tree and splinters from the house
were thrown into the yard of the house adjoin
ing. After leaving the bed, the track of the bolt
ccnld be traced along the floor, under the child’s
cnb, and to where it went through the floor and
into the ground beneath the house. Mrs. W,
was awake and reading at the time.
O’Neal, the scalawag Judge, is not dead, as
we learn from the Valdosta Times. He has only
had another nip and tuck race with Darwin’s
pets.
The Times roports prospects favorable for a
two thirds cotton crop in that section, though
rust has appeared. Enough com for home con
sumption will be made.
Augusta breathes easier. The dog fight, in
terest in whioh has rocked that quiet burg from
centre to circumference for several weeks past,
has been “fit,” at last.

only copies eleven items from the “Georgia
Press” column in Wednesday’s Telegraph and

Cnors in Barbour County.—The Bluff City
Times says the reports of farmers about crops
are distressing. Cora, they say, was mined by
the superabundance of rain in the latter part of
the spring and early enmmer, and the cotton by
the drought that snooeedod the rains. Cora is
estimated to average five or six bnsbels to -the
sore, and ootton one bole to from six to ten
noros. This is truly discouraging. Caterpillars
and boll-worms are said to have appeared in
some localities. We hope tho refreshing rains
that fell in this oity on Saturday and Sunday
last were general all over the country, for tho
ootton at least sorely needed watering*
A First class civil war can be contrived in
Philadelphia any day in the year by setting back

At a quarter past twelve he will assemble at the
Mayor's offioo and demand an explanation. At
twenty minntes past twelve he will march on

will rise to the skies, while foraging reconnois-
sauces will be made into Jersey.
Among spnrions Hibernioisms, m ther for
neither (neether) may be plaood—a mispror.uu
ciation rejected by Mr. Ellis and by the distin
guished London elocutionists, Prof. Melville
Belle. This ni-ther had been attributed to Hi
bernian pot-honso writers, who had probably
been told that their legitimate and bistorio
form, nay-ther, must not be nsed in England,
when they blundered upon nigh-ther, and sent
it np into “good society.”— Prof. ILildanan.
The Courier-Journal says the editor of the
Shelbyville American Rescue “prevaricates like
a dog. and if we were not a lobby member of
tho Young Men's Christian Association, and
bound by solemn obligations to keep the peace
at all hazards, wo wonld employ a man to go
down to ShelbyviUa on the next train, and thrash
enough of that animal ont of him to make a fall
pack of hounds.”
Liverpool Cotton Market.—According to
figures telegraphed yesterday, the stock in Liv
erpool was only C43.000 bales, of which 340,000
wore American The receipts of the week were
bnt 19,000 bales, of which 5,000 were American,
while the amount afloat was not reported.
Petroleum in Tennessee. — The Nashville
Union and American, of the 9th, says:
While Colonel A. R. Alley, who lives near
W,-i rt race, had some hands at work on a road near
his residence a few* days ago, it became neces
sary to remove a large rock on a hill side about
twenty feet above the general level. In doing
so the hands broke off a piece weighing about
one hundred and fifty pounds, which upon ex
amination. was found to contain a number of
boles, all tilled with oil. Colonel Alley’s sou,
who was with the party, obtained from this rock
upwards of a quart of oiL The rock when
broken appears perfectly solid, with a dry blu
ish cast, bnt immediately oil oozes ont, and
changes its color, and soon begins to drip. CoL
Alley is elated with the prospect of oil, and ex
pects very soon to make a thorough investiga
tion of the matter. We have received a speci
men of the diaoovery, and it certainly has the
right sort of flavor.
Narrow Gauge Railroads.
The Railroad Gazette reviews at length the
subject of narrow gauge railroads and their im
mense economic pretensions, and comes to the
following conclusion:
We do not wish to bo understood as asserting
that a 3 feet gauge road may not be operated
cheaply and do a fair business. Wbat we as
sert, is, that the advantages of the narrow gauge
have been immensely overstated, and that most
of what is claimed for it is attributable to en
tirely different causes, which are jnst as availa
ble on an ordinary 4 feet 8J inch road as on a
3 feet or narrow gange; and, moreover, that
bnt very little positive knowledge exists in this
country in relation to the construction or opera
tion of such roads, and that thns far the advan
tages obtained ara only hypothetical or, at best,
experimental. That some very slight redaction
in the cost of bnilding and equipping roads
wonld result from narrowing the gange is trae,
bnt it so very small, and the disadvantages re
sulting therefrom so very great, that the latter
very much overbalance the saving in cost. Roads
to do a light trafflo at slow speed can be built,
equipped and operated at very nearly the same
cost without the inconvenience of a break of
gauge, will give greater stability to the lolling
stock, and have the enormous advantage in their
favor that when the business v'hich is developed
shall require it, the capacity of the road can be
gradually increased by laying heavier iron to re
place that which is worn ont, and bnilding larger
cars and engines which will have greater carry
ing capacity.
That strikes us as about the truth in the case.
The Magnetic Wells of Michigan.
A correspondent of the Chicago Times, writ
ing from St Joseph, describes two of these
wells as follows:
The first well I visited was that of Capt Cur
tis Bonghton. It is 82 feet deep and three feet
in diameter. After the diggers had gone 74 feet,
just below the bine clay and through a small
strata of hard pan, gas escaped with a roaring
noise. The workmen fonnd it stifling, and were
compelled to leave. For two or three days every
candle pnt into the well went out, but suddenly
and unexpectedly the gas wrs discovered to have
evaporated, and the workmen completed the
well without interruption. Now, in advance of
every storm, a similar roaring, followed by an
ebnlition of gas has been observed, and this has
indneed Captain Bonghton to put a fog-horn
into the well, which can be heard about half a
mile as soon as a storm is approaching, and
therefore this well bears rightly its name, Baro
metric well
The socond and strongest well of all is that
of Tand F, Pew. A little over two vears ago
the Messrs. Pew sank a well near their saw-mill
for tho purpose of supplying their workmen
with water, bnt this having a b»d taste, they
abandoned it in a short time. The wonderfal
cures performed by mineral water in other
places induced them to look to the canse of the
peculiar taste which the water had, and to their
surprised discovered that they had one of the
most powerful magnetic mineral wells in the
State, if not in the country. On trying this
well with a magnetic compass, I found that it
diverts the needle right above th# pump fully
180 degrees from west to east, and 12 fee't
from the pump still 15 degs. It contains the
largest amonnt of iron yet discovered in solu
tion, which is heltl by carbonic acid, also mag
nesia, soda, snlphnric and hydrochloric acid,
lime and brome, and possesses therefore strong
tonio and other medicinal properties.

A Remarkable Case.—We learn that a lady—
name not recollected—residing at or near Til
ton, in this county, fell into a trance one day
last week, and remained in a perfectly uncon
scious state for three days and nights. When
she awoke, which was on the morning of the
fourth day, she arose and went about her ac
customed duties.as usual, seemingly unaware
of the length of time she had slept or remained
unconscious to all snblunary things. She soon
after remarked to her family that there wonld bo
an unusual amonnt of sickness in the country
this year, and that half the people in Georgia
would die, and shortly thereafter died herself.
Previous to this sleep or trance, she was appa
rently in excellent health. This is certainly a
very remarkable case, if trae.
