TUESDAY MOBNING. AUGUST 1 5, 1871.
Pxjmjc Blisrisos.—It was Jay Cook & Co.
who pronounced a nalional debt a public bless
ing, and it has certainly been a very great bloss-
ing.to them. They have inado millions out of
the national debt by merely turning the pile
over r.nd stacking it tap in different shapes so as
to suit all tastes. Discoursing on tho “Nemesis
of Debt,” the New Orleans Picayune estimates
the national debt at two thousand millions;
State debts ono thousand millions; City corpo
ration debts at least ono thousand millions;
Itailroad debts twelve hnndred millions; other
debts enough to aggregato in all Bix thousand
millions, paying $3GO,OOO t OOO interest yearly,
which falls on 7,600,000 tax-payers and averages
forty-seven dollars apiece, a year, all round.
A Row in South Uaeouisa.—A Blackville cor
respondent of the Charleston Conner describes
a serious condition of affairs in that neighbor
hood, Ten days ago a negro man was brutally
murdered, as was supposed, by throe white des
peradoes named Porter, and the negroes were
ont tn mount after them—stopping travel, press
ing provisions and throateniDg if they did not
make the arrest to kill everybody from the
cradle np. The correspondent calls npon the
Governor to send down a force to straighten
matters.
A Richmond letter tells Ibis of Governor
Wise: “On one occasionsince the war he seized
a colored newsboy on the street, gently laid him
doVru on tho pavement, put his right foot npon
tho neck of the prostrate boy, and then shonted,
‘Sie-semper tyrannis, by G—d!’ But this
dreadful expression of sentiment was imme
diately qualified by his presenting a fractional
greenback to the “tyrant"—making that col
ored youth importune him to ‘do it agin’ at the
same price."
A State Bankeupt.—The Raleigh Sentinel,
commenting npon the condition of North Caro
lina, says she eannot pay ont. The interest on
the debt is SI,200,000 annually—current ex
penses of 8tate Government $800,000, and the
taxes to support county, municipal and Federal
Governments will Hwell these amounts to $5,-
000,000. On tho other band, the whole annnal
income of the people amounts to only $0,000,-
000, and they cannot subsist on one-aixth of
their earnings. The State is bankrupt
New Cotton.—Three bales new crop cotton
were sold at anotion -in Montgomery on Friday
last. The first bale was raised by W. B. Bryant,
of Lowndes county, Alabama, and was bid off
by Messrs. Moore, NValdman & Co., at 4t)J cents.
It weighed 645 pounds. That bale came to
$261 22. The second bale was bid off at the
samo price by A. A H. Strassbnrgor, and weighed
485 pounds. The third was sold at 30 cants and
woighed 426 ponods.
Hold Fast, Ageioultubai. Bureau.—Tho
Agricultural Department sneenmbs to the ridi
cule of tho cotton bears, and pnts ont a premon
itory warning to day, that thoir September re
port is going on high figures. Hold on, Com
missioner. Stand by your estimate of three
and a half millions. Don’t hang too hoavily on
that letter from Arkansas. If three and a half
millions does not tnm ont to be high enongb,
we will acknowledge onrselves mistaken again.
Seventeen Rattles and a Button.—Mr. J.
II. Hamilton seeds ns the rattlos from a snake
which he killed a few days ago in Tayloroonnty.
There are aeventeen rattles and a button—the
rattles over three quarters of an inch. wide. Mr.
n. says the snako weighed about thirty pounds,
but he does not give tho dimensions. That was
a snake we should expressly and particularly de
cline to be bitten by.
Eablv Ticking.—The Agricultural Bureau
reports earlier cotton picking than last year.
Last year, wo had a wet August and cotton was
green and growing vigorously. This year a
drouth has pervaded most of the cotton region
and tho holla have parchod up in the hot snn
and opened prematurely. Do they look npon
that as promising a heavy yield of cotton ?
A Toon Rule.—While the yonng women are
besieging Northern medical schools and colleges
very snccessfally for leave to come in with the
yonng men, the other day a yonng gentleman
stndent was peremptorily refused admission
into South Hadley Female Seminary, of Mas
sachusetts. What are we to think of a rulo
which works only ono way ?
The Courier gives several illustrations of the
rise of property in Charleston since the elec
tion. Illustrating the ferocity of politics among
the negroes, that paper tells of a colored hus
band kept out of his honse by a termagant wife
becanso ho had voted for Wagoner. Finally,
the man made good uis prerogatives with a hick
ory Btick.
IlAtirm roa September —Messrs Brown &
Co. have this magazine for September, with a
most varied and interesting table of contents—
among other things stories by Annie Thomas
nnd Justin McCarthy, and a most readable illns-
tratod paper entitled tho “Bard of Abbotsford.”
This number is particularly rich in illustrations.
Wild Lands—Suspension or Executions.—
From a correspondence between Gov. Bullock
and Comptroller Bell, published in the Atlanta
Era, of Sunday, wo learn that the former has
issued nn order suspending the issuing of exe
cutions against unreturned wild lands, until the
meeting of the next Legislature.
Gas and M ateu —It is said seventy-five per
cent, of the damage resulting in ordinary fires
comes from the smoke and water. The New
Yorkers are oonsideriDg the use of carbonic acid
gas instead of water, as a fire extinguisher. The
gas is moro fatal to fire and hurts nothing.
The Galaxy, for September, oame yesterday,
nnd may be found at the bookstoros. Lady Ju
dith, the Nether Side of New York and Ongbt
wo to 1 ’-Ait Her, are the sereal articles. Among
the others Is a paper npon Agricultural Labor
at the Sonth, by a Southerner.
The Bins Ridge Railroad is to be relaid and
completed on a gunge of three feet. Theengi-
neer estimates that this will make a saving in
construction nnd equipment of $140,000, and
in running of 52J instead of 70 per -cent, of
gross receipts.
Bt the anditor’s report of the Stale of Lou
isiana the public printing in that State for 1870
amounted to $519,981.81, and of this sum
$366,000 wore paid to the New Orleans Repub-
NewIse op Lime;—Two negroes In Knox
ville slaking lime and quarreling in unequal
parts, one seized the other and held him in the
hissing lime until he was brought to reason.
A Level Head. Onr Atlanta correspondent’s
head is extremely level on the matter of this
platform discussion in the Goorgia papers. We
agree with him fully.
Mbs. Vallandioiiam died in Cumberland
Maryland, last Saturday morning, no doubt
from grief at the loss of her husband.
A milk and a half of car loads of peaches
reach New York every day over the New Jersey
Itailroad alone.
Oub Springs correspondents shall be heard to
morrow.
Ntraws in rolillrs.
Replying to tho Times who charges tho New
York Union Republican Gcnerni ConuuilUo
with intense hostility to Gen. Grant and a pur
pose to defeat his re-nomination, etc., failing
in that, to defent his re-election, Mr. Greeley
says that, so far as he knows, the reverse of this
assertion is true. He himself, does not flavor
Grant’s renomination and at tho proper time,
will give his reasons. But ho insists on lho
right of every Republican to avow his personal
preference, and if proscription, bullying and
browbeating are to be put in force, the renom-
ination will be a transparent farce.
The Tribune of the 10th would be sorry to
bolieve that tho pnxjfedings with regard to the
Lonisana Radical Convention were sanctioned
by an influential officials at Washington. The
Tribune of tho 71th has an official from New
Orleans, saying that Marshal Packard stated
that ho bad authority from President Grant to
use the Cnstom-honsc as a place of meeting for
tho Convention, and to bring the United States
troops for its protection.
Whereupon that paper says, editorially:
We note with great mortification the fact that
United States Marshal Packard, with snpereer-
viceable zeal, told the dissenting members of
the Republican Convention at New Orleans that
he was authorized by President Grant to use
the Gnstom Honse for the Convention, and
bring Unitod States troops there for its protec
tion. We don’t mean to believe him, unless we
must. It seems probable that the United States
Marshal is restive nnder a load of odinm which
he desires to shoulder off upon others.
The San calls the performance a strange and
alarming spectacle, and says bnt for Grant’s in
terferonce with his Swiss Guards he would have
been beaten out of sight in the Convention.
The Franco-Itasstan Alliance.
The Herald, of Friday, sounds an alarm as
follows:
Wab Thbeatenino.—Tho prospect of another
war stares Europe in tho face. OnrRpecial dis
patch from Salzburg brings the startling news
that Rtassia has formed an alliance with France
against Anstria and Germany. On the other
hand, the Emperor William and Francis Joseph
ere about to meet at Gastein. The theme of
their conference, at which tho Austrian Chan
cellor, Count Benst, is also to be present, will
probably bo the threatening Franco-Rcssian al
liance. It now behooves the two Kaisers to
nnite in opposing the hostile combination. Rus
sia is arming on a gigantic scale. Thiers has
refused to reduce the large military establish
ment of Franco. Surely, this means mischief.
It is a well known fact that Russia has not
looked with a favorable eye npon the overshad
owing preponderance of Germany. Austria is
her natural enemy, who has always barred the
execution of her ambitious designs in the Dann-
bian PrincipalitieH. In view of these facts it is
by no means improbablo that the Czar has taken
np those negotiations with Thiers which had
been commenced with the Empress Eugenie and
so inopportnnely broken off by the revolution
of the 4th of September.
One is tempted to ask what has become of all
that gushing and overflowing entente cordiale
which existed six or eight mouths ago between
Russia nnd Ausfria, under presume of which
tho electrio wire was tansy conveying monnagea of
compliment and congratulation. We thought
it settled then that, Germany and Russia were
to divide Europe between them.
Taste and Flash.
Contrasting these in their practical exhibitions
at Saratoga, hte correspondent of the Commer
cial Advertiser has the following:
There is another typo of womanhood in Con
gress Hall—a patrician type which cmies from
onltivation and generations of good blood. : Sbe
wears no bright colors B«-r eyes delight in
subtle symphonies—symphonies iu music and
colora, too.' She does not wear yellow, and bine,
nnd scarlet—but she mingles them altogether as
the painter mingles his paints An his palette,
and produces a warm symphony in brown or
dral>*—perhaps, the lovely pongee. If she wears
blue, she pnts white iu it. tusking it look like
the sky, or darkous it to the blue of tho ocean.
If she wears scarlet, she tones it down with blue
till it becomes maroon. If she wears chrome
yellow, she tones it down with white till it
becomes straw color—always a symphony.
Her shoulders are proudly erect, like the "Ve
nus do Medici, and her arms rest in nature’s at
titude, like the arms of Thorwaldsen’s graces—
palmR to the front. Her hair is gracefully
dressed, high up on the head, like the Venus of
Canovn, to show the beautiful curves of the
neck; and are not stuffed or swelled into a
clumsy globe, to bang like a dead weight down
npon the back. In the end she “stans" people
iu a civilized way—with grace, style and purity;
wbilo tho plebian stuns with pictureRque colora,
deformed shoulders and flopping hands. There
is a young lady at Congress Hall so graceful, so
very stylish, and yet so plain in her attire, that
when she walks across the room she is the cen
tre of attraction. I veutnre to say that she
kuows more of art, of sculpture, and of the
true beauty of form and style and color than all
the plebian girls in .the honse
AMONG GENTLEMEN
we see the same idea illustrated. Yesterday
when the carriages came np I saw a gilded fonr^
in-hand with white reins and coachman in yel
low liveries. Everybody looked rs they would
look at a row of pencockB on dress-parade, for
the turnout was a “stunner!" By-and-by np
came an English drag, jot black, with one sev
enteen-hand horse. There was a harness for
utility, with steel buckles, and the coachman
was garbed in modest black. It was a swell
turnout, bnt the owner has taste, and he stnns
with a rig of plain and simple elegance.
The Kentucky Election.—A Louisville dis
patch to the World dated the 10th says that
official returns received from thirty-nine ooun-
ties show that Leslie is receiving not only the
largest Democratic vote ever polled in Ken
tucky, bnt absolutely the largest vote ever poll
ed for any man of any party in that State. His
vote in three counties exceeds by 904 the vote
cast for Seymonr in the same connties in 1878,
and exceeds the vote cast for Stevenson that
year in the same connties by 1154. The vote
cast for the Democratic Congressional ticket in
those counties last November, when the negro
vote was first polled at a general election, was
only 37,705. For Leslie at the late election
these counties gave 55,384 votes, a gain of 17,-
679. The aggregato Democratic majority in
1870 was 32,314. Leslie's majorities in thirty-
nine counties exceed those of 18G0 by 4461 ;
his majority will rcRch near 50,000. Unofficial
reports from abont hRlf the connties of the
State show that while Harlan has polled a heavy
negro vote, there has been a heavy defection of
white men from the Radical party, and if the
whole Democratic vote had been polled it would
have reached at least 130,000.
Looking Up.—The News quotes the following
incident as an evidence of what the recent po
litical triumph will do for Charleston:
A Broad street broker sold yesterday a lot in
Savage street, measuring 55 by 120 feet, for
$500 cash. This same property, prior to the
election, was a drug on his hand at $400, on
time. He also was offered $7,000 for a house
and lot, which he tried to sell in vain before the
triumph of the Conservative ticket for $0,000
These are but straws, it is true, but they show
which way tho wind is blowing. Another sign
of returning prosperity is the fact that capital
ists from the adjoining cities and elsewhere are
in the market for sites in the burnt district.
We met with a gentleman from Angusta last
evening, who has came over on the strength of
onr snccess to invest in lands.
Advice to Cotton Planters.—“Willoughby,’’
the New York correspondent of the Augusta
Constitutionalist, writes as follows, undei; date
of August 8th:
We are having some weakness in cotton.
This is entirely due to the pressure of existing
stocks on the market, and has no special refer
ence to the future. I oan only say to your read-
era that I would not sell a bale of cotton till
Liverpool advances to 10d. for middling upland.
An old lady, writing to her son ont West
warns him to beware of bilions saloons and
bowel alleys.
Til K GEOKRU I’ltUSN.
Mr. Henry Batts, one of tho oldest citizens
o? Miller county, died last Sunday morning
Rev. John B. McGehee has been elected Pres
ident, and S. F. Scaif Professor, in Andrew Fe
male College, at Cnthbert.
Mr. Perry H. Oliver, for seventeen years a
prominent citizen of Americas, died vefv sud
denly on Sunday, the Clh inst. Mr. Oliver was
bora in Macon, and was about forty-fivo years
old. Ho was at one time tho owner and exhib
itor of “Blind Tom,” whom he carried on a tour
through Europe.
We learn from tho Sumter Republican, that
Wiley Chambliss attemped to assasisnate Henry
Hardy in that place, last Tuesday. Mr. H. was
passing along the street when Chambliss sprang
ont from a store door and struck him a blow
with a knife or dirk on the right side, passing
under and through the fleshy part of the arm,
severing the main artery and rendering the
limb almost entirely useless. Chambliss was
committed to jail in default of $2,000 bail.
The Dahlonega Signal reports a rain of frogs
in that county laBt Tuesday. They “literally
covered the ground.”
The Signal says:
Beautiful Gold —Captain Thies exhibited
to us, oa Wednesday last, a lot of five hnndred
and oddpwts. gold taken from the Battle Branch
property—tho prettiest lot wo ever saw. The
larger portion of it is as largo as coffee grains,
and some pieces weighing threo pwts. and up
ward.
Under the head, “Work for Onr Next Legis
lature,” the Washington Gazette says, among
other things:
The educational interests of the State should
be looked into, and something done in regard
to the school fund. We believe all on hand was
pocketed by the last Legislature. Onr State
University should be most liberally endowed,
and tho endowment secured in some way, if
possible, so that no future military despot can
interfere with it, as did the gallant “Headquar
ters Popo” with annual allowance granted by a
former Legislature.
Of crops in. Wilkes, the Gazette reports as fol
lows :
During tho past three or four weeks the drouth
has done immense damage throughout this
county. About one-third of the county has had
no rain for abont nine weeks. We passed
through this section some ten days ago, and for
tho first time saw corn actually dead in the
fields; in many fields the com^ould have been
burnt 'by placing a lighted match to it. The
cotton was little, if any, better. We saw many
fields which we do not believe wonld make a
bale to ten acro3. Fortunately, tho other por
tion of onr county has suffered very little, the
dronth having set in after early com was pretty
wpll made, and we have had good rains, during
the past week, in time to save the late crop.
Tho local of the Bainbridgo Argns has evi
dently lost his arithmetio. He figures np six
cows at $40 each to cost just $160. We don’t
want to sell cows, for a living, to that chap.
The corn, swcot potaoto, and fodder crops of
Decatur county are all good, this season.
;A negro man, woman and child wore capsized
from a boat in the Flint River, near Bainbridge,
one day last week, and the two latter drowned,

Rival sewing machine agents at Savannah—

Tho Savannah Advertiser, of Sunday, Bays
that Rev. Dr. Landzam,' of that city, has re
ceived a call from the Second Baptist Church
of Memphis, and that he will probably accept it.
Late in the afternoon of the 8th isnstant, in
Waynesboro, Henry S. Hill was assaulted by
John D. Munnerlyn, Clerk of the Superior
Court and fired npon three times, the first
shot only taking effect The difficulty, as the
Expositor is informed, originated in salts
brought by Hill against Mnnneilyn for de
manding and taking greater fees, in his official
capacity, then are allowed by law.
The Savannah Republican, of Sunday, says:
The Darien Difficulty —Toere is no news
from the expedition to Darien, which left here
Friday, at 5 o'clock r. m. A dispatch from that
port, yesterday noon, made inquiry as to when
the Marshal left Savannah, stating that nothing
had been h~.ird if the steamer. It is probable
that she stopped at Doboy, where the bark Grace
is loaded and ready for sea.
Later.—It will be seen by a private dispatch,
published elsewhere, that the arrest of Tunis
G. Campbell aiid several of bis confederates
was effected yesterday evening, without difficul
ty. They will be brought to Savannah for trial.
Says tho Era, of Sunday :
Oub Mid-Westebn Border.—Wo had the
pleasure of meeting onr esteemed friend, Major
Bryant, last evening. He is fresh from or mid-
western border, and his report is that rain has

A Romo correspondent ot the Constitution
alist writes as follows concerning the fate of the
proposition made in the State Agricultural Con
vention, to establish an organ for the society:
At the afternoon session of Thursday, the
Secretary of the State Society endeavored to
impress on tho minds of the delegates, the ne
cessity of the society having an organ—not a
hand organ, but a newspaper one; and demon
strated, on paper, the advantages to accrne
therefrom. This proposition evidently struck
the ideas of the convention as partaking strongly
of a job, and the Rev. C. W. Howard replied to
the Secretary in- a telling speech, demolishing
the proposed enterprise in an incredibly short
space of time. The Secretary is said to express
the belief that there is only one man in Georgia
who is capable of editing a newspaper. It is
presumable that he has got that man by the col
lar, and anticipated starting a paper that wonld
swallow np r11 the smaller fry; but the conven
tion did not see it, and the matter was referred
to the Executive Committee, who will, of coarse,
consign the proposition to its proper place.
Capt. Fillebrowne,'the United States officer
in charge of the survey of the Coosa river, was
drowned at Columbiana, Ala., last Saturday, as
we learn from the Rome Commercial.
Mr. Lovejoy’s store, at Floyd Springs, was
burned last Friday night. Loss $5,000, insured
for $1,200.
Four thousand pounds of dried peacheB were
sold at Thomaston last Thursday. The Herald
says the essence of peach will. very plentiful
