Mtan Telegraph & Messenger. 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 5. Mobile 22,422,631 6. Philadelphia : 16,603,072 7. Galveston 14 859,601 8.

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. ■ ■ wa 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. The Chronicle and Sentinel, of Thursday, only copies eleven items from the “Georgia Press” column in Wednesday’s Telegraph and Messenger, without credit; The Chronicle evi dently has a sotJf above doing a petty retail bus- 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 the State-house clock an hoar. Pnnctaally at 12 tho Philadelphia artisan will look at his stomach and compare it with the clock. In five minntes bo will bo transformed into a raging cannibal. 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 tho market-houses and Produoo Exchange. By 12:30 P. m. the horses will be stopped on the milwnys, and the smoke of tho barbecned cattle 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.

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. Drnry Freeman, aged 80 years, and who for 44 years has resided near Griffin, died last Sun day, universally respected. The Dalton Citizen reports revivals in the Methodist and Baptist churches of that place, and also in several country churches m the neighborhood. John G. Scott, an old and highly respected citizen of Forsyth county, died last Wednesday. The Middle Georgian says that place and vi cinity is infested by a regularly organized band of thieves. A few nights since, while the pas sengers on the np train were at supper, a satchel worth $50 was developed from one of the cars. NEW ADVERTISEMENTS A CARD TO THE PUBLIC.
