SUNDAY MORNING. AUGUST 20, 1871.
SewS Items.
Cholera.—Two fatal ewes of cholera were
reported in Paris on the 15tb.
Sprague's Canal —Work on Senator Sprague’s
canal in Columbia was resumed last week and is
to be pushed on to completion.
New Bice.—A car load of new rioe was re
ceived in Charleston last Thursday, from the
plantation of John W. Lewis, on the Aahepoo,
TTeat> Downwards.—The Charleston Courier
says the corpse of a backsliding negro woman
in Sumter county, was slid into the grave head
downards, by the direction of her negro pastor,
who said she was bound for the bad place any
bow, and that was the way she ought to be
buried.
The New Yoke Peach Tbade.—The World,
of Wednesday, says six hundred thousand bas
kets and crates of Delaware peaches were sold
in the Now York market during the past week,
and we have hardly yet opened upon the New
Jersey orchards. The peach crop this year is
enormous, and the fruit was never better in
size and flavor.
The Ohio Buotbbaboeb poisoning case
promises to be one of extraordinary interest.
The World, of Wednesday, in a London (Ohio)
dispatch of the IStb, says that the defence will
bring forward most startling testimony, show
ing a conspiracy to destroy Mrs. Colburn, which
will cause a sensation of horror and raise a cry
for vengeance all over the country.
The Developers in Indiana.—The last Leg-
islature of Indiana passed a bill obartering a
company to drain the wet lands bordering the
Kankakee Biver, with authority to assess the
lands per cost of drainage. It is needless to
say that it was a scheme delightful to Wall
street and her ‘‘capitalists” so-called, that is to
say the noble army of hammers whose capital
lies in kites and impudence, took bold of it and
have already assessed the lands to the amount
of over four millions of dollars. The hoosiers
are as mad as hornets, and want to fight some
body.
The Now York Tribune, of Wednesday, re
lieves itself as follows:
Humbug dies bard in this pig-beaded world
of ours. Tbe Macon (Ga.) Telegraph is still
in tbe most lndicronsly absurd way talking of
slavery as “a system sanctioned by the great
Jehovah himself, nnder which onr fathers pros
pered so mnch and were universally recognized
as tho noblest type of the hnman race." How
mnch longer are wo to encounter these dreary
specimens of mnlish conservatism, by which
wo moan the conservatism which has no logical
relation to that which still exists, but which is
based not only npon tbe totally extinct, bnt
upon something absolutely past resuscitation ?
Tho Tribune itself is a lively illustration that
a good deal of “humbug” lives and flourishes
like a green bay tree. Ho would represent tbe
Teleobaph as hoping and longing for tbe “re
suscitation” of slavery when he knows that wo
spoke of it merely as a thing of the post just as
we might have spoken of the feudal system or the
crusades. If it is part and parcel of bis pro
gressive and advanced politics that tbe past
shall be altogether ignored, let him suspend for
a moment bis paeans to the Pilgrim Fathers
and John Brown.
A Greek Grammar for Beginners; and a
Latin Grammar fob Beginners.—Wo have re
ceived a copy of each of these admirable little
books from their author, our old friend and
classmate, Professor William H. Waddell, of
the University of Georgia. They are precisely
what their name imports—nothing more nor
less, and will be found to answor every promise
of their titles, as well as every expectation of
all who may use them. Professor W. is one of
tbe most thorough scholars and experienced
instructors in these branches in the country,
and never was known to do any work carelessly.
We are sure these grammars will endorse our
highest estimate of him in that, and other no
less essential elements. They are intended for
tho beginners, and execution and conception
aTO most happily mated.
Toe September Galaxy has a portrait of
Algernon CharTos Swinburne. It is possible
that the picture does not do Algernon justice.
If the portrait is a true one, Alg. is not a beau
tiful youth. He has a great shock of hair, and
his head sticks out behind. His forehead is
high, his noso and ears ponderous. He has a
full eye. His mustache and imperial do very
woll, but a buneb of beard growing nnder bis
prominent ohin give him a “vealy” look which
is anything but prepossessing. The mouth is
one of extraordinary capacity, set off by a pair
of lips thiok enough for an average Ethiopian.
The pieture does not indioate that tbe poet’s
body is of heronloan build, but bis neck looks
to be not much less than the circumference of
an ordinary beer keg. He does not appear to
part his hair in the middle or wear paper col
lars—Courier-Journal
Findlay’s Works.—Down at Findlay’s Iron
works yesterday, we were gratified to learn that
they are very busy. A considerable part of
their work oonsists in tho manufacture of their
improved horse powers and cotton presses, which
are deservedly acquiring a great popularity.
Bnt they aro also filling many orders for steam
engines, boilers, and mill gearing oompletn.
Mr. 0. D. Findlay says that he is now getting
these up at a saving of two to three hundred
dollarB on the cost at Northern machine shops
with transportation added; and besideR that, he
will guarantee that nothing bnt good and safe
iron goes into bis boilers. If they burst his
boilers, they have got to set abont It of purpose.
No Difference.—We see the New Era says
there is no difference between a New Departure
Demoorat and a Badical, and therefore pro
poses that tho two should unite and support the
same ticket for President. We trnst the New
Era is sincere in this opinion, and we know of
nothing to prevent him from proving his sin
cerity by corresponding works. The nominee
of the Democratic National Convention will, we
have no manner of doubt, be placed on a so-
called new departure platform, and let the New
Era therefore go and vote for him like a man
of his word.
“I know what your beau’s pretty white horse’s
name is,” said a little boy to his grown-up sis
ter, tho other morning; “It’s Damyo.” “Hush
Eddie,” said tho horrified sister, “that’s a
naughty word.” “Well, I don’t care if ’tis,”
said the jnvenile, “that’s his name, ’cos last night
I was ontside the fence when he stopped at tbe
front gate, and I heard him say “Whoa, Dam-
ye.”—Exchange.
The Milwaukeeans thronged at the hotel when
Colfax ateh’s breakfast in that place, and as the

The Colton CroJ*.
Tho nnivereal impression among planters in
Middle and Southwestern Georgia is. that the
cotton crop will be far below the lowest esti
mates of buyers. The fact that the weed is now
generally blossoming on the top and making its
final effort at fruiting for the season, is conclu
sive against any hope of a large lato product
like those which unexpectedly swelled the crops
of the two last years. Besides the generally
unpromising condition of the plant, and the di
minished area in acreage, must also be consid
ered the great imperfection of the stand, which
in the opinion of many good judges, is equal to
twenty per cent. It must be a very favorable
fall which will develop a crop equal to two-
thirds of that of last year, or say a crop of a
little upwards of three million bales ; and this,
according to onr ideas, is above “an average
crop.”
On the other hand, the lowest figure of South
ern buyers is probably about 3,500,000 bales,
and the Northern bulls are clear way up above
that. They call an “average crop” the crop
of last year—say forty-three to forty-five hun
dred thousand bales. We produced that once,
and therefore it is the demonstrated “capacity”
of the Sonth. What has been done can be
done again. There is a “perpetual tendency
to underestimates”—that is to say, the product
has overran estimates for the last two years, be
cause the last two years have been exceptional.
Now, if a fair average crop should, in trntb,
turn ont to be nothing more than the average
product since the war, instead of last year’s
crop, and if the crop should only be a little
short of an average crop, there will be some
heavy movements in cotton this year.
Tli© Noble Women or Georgia,
The exploits of the gallant sons of the South,
and their heroio devotion to the lost cause, will
live in song and stand forth forever upon the
pages of history. Bat it is meet also that the
unobtrusive worth, the exalted virtue, tho hu
miliating sacrifices, the invincible energy of the
afflicted daughters of the Confederacy should
be properly cherished and remembered.
During those fearful times, when every mes
senger and telegram brought the sad tidings of
stricken fields, and the groans of the wounded
and dying thrilled the heart of the nation, these
angels of meroy were ever to be seen, either
ministering to tho wants of tho suffering, or
knitting socks, scraping lint, weaving cloth for
the garments of our soldiers, or compounding
jellies and delicacies for the hospital.
Glorious and lovely indeed did they thus ap
pear, in the eyes of their admiring country
men. But the pnrpose of this article is to ex
hibit them in an aspect still more beautiful and
exalted. We wish to hold np to view the pres
ent occupation, and heavenly mission, of many
of our noblo women who were nursed in the lap
of laxnry, and ore descended from a long line
of illustrious sires. Heart-broken by the loss
of lovers and brothers, and left penniless by
the sad results of the war, deatb might have
been a welcome messenger but for the argent
claims of the living.
Mutilated kinsmen, aged parents, or the help
less orphans of the loved ones who had died for
their country, still appealed beseechingly for
help and sustenanee. What has been the re
sponse? Did these gently nurtured and high
born ladies succnmb nnder sore bereavement
and the utter loss of worldly possessions? No,
by the rood! With Spartan constancy, and a
heroism morally sublime, they have laid aside
the costly vestments of other days, and patiently
and without a murmur, embraced a life of al
most menial toil, in behalf of the holpless ones
they love so well.
The writer conld point to the children and
grandchildren of one of Washington’s favorite
Generals; and to the descendants of some of the
noblest and most illustrious men who once adorn
ed the battlefield, and councils of the nation, as
illustrations of his subject. These ladies shine
with more lustre, and are far more attrac
tive in their present sphere in the eyes of the
virtuous and honorable, than when they were
the habitues of tbe luxurious drawing room,
and surrounded with all the pomp and pageant
ry of rank and wealth. Yea, we confess to a
feeling for them akin to the highest veneration.
Reverently do we uncover in their presenoe,
and render a heartfelt homage which crowned
heads and the magnates of earth conld not ex
tort. All honor to our glorious women, who
are peerless alike in the palace, the cottage,
the schoolroom and by the couches of the sick
and dying.
Cotton Crop Estimates.
The National Bureau reports the returns to
the 17th July. The average acreage has been
reduced 14 per cent. With the present relative
ly low condition, with a season as long as that
of 1870, a crop of 3,500,000 bales is predicted.
A season of average length will give 3,200,000
bales, “an early frost and a very favorable sea
son for picking,” 2,700,000. “Insects and other
nnpropitions ciroumstances would probably re-
duoe the crop to 2,500,000 bales.” We have
here a scale graduated according to accident,
but there are elements of calculation which none
bnt a cotton planter can correctly estimate. The
same acreage will not always produce the same
crop in an equally favorable season, because the
lands are wearing ont and washing away inmost
of the older cotton States; a smaller acreagehas
more choice land than a larger one.. An acreage
14 per cent, less in extent is cultivated better,
and picked more carefully than a larger one. A
less acreago with more oereals will enable the
team to do bettor work. The reports from the
eotton region show that tho laborers are more
industrious and work to more advantage than
hereto' ore. The advance in the price of cotton
stimulates tbe planter and laborer. It also im
proves their credit for supplies. The Bureau
publishes reports from fifty-five out of more
than five hundred counties engaged in the cul
ture of cottoD, and the inference from these
statements are, we think, premature. The re
ports coincide with and generally support those
published by our ootton exchange.—N. O. Price
Current
A New Roller Gin.
There is the model of a new ootton gin left at
at the Findlays for exhibition, which separates
the fibre from the seed more perfectly than the
saw gin and leaves the staple, as we believe,
entirely uninjured by the operation. This is
a Boston oontrivance, bnt is represented here
by Mr. T. S. Colquit. We nnderstand there
are two of these gins of fall size in use, and
that their capacity is a thousand pounds of
ginned cotton per day. They run with abont
half the power of the saw gin and leave the
ootton in the same shape as the Sea Island
Boiler Gin. The mechanical operation of this
gin is much like that of the human hand in the
act of separating the fibre from the seed, and
we are disposed to think it founded on the best
principle. In order to test this interesting
point, the inventor should have a perfect ma
chine here at the State Fair next October—let
the people seo its operation in connection with
other gins upon tho same grades of cotton, and
then submit the products to the careful inspec
tion of experts.
Brignoli, Mbs. Bbiqnoli and “The Twins.”
The Washington Star says:
It is whispered in social circles at “the Hub”
that Brignoli—who was privately married to
Miss McCulloch, in Montreal, last July—has
made an attempt to ignore his marriage or deny
it; bnt he “reckoned without his host,” or
hostess rather, for Mrs. Brignoli proved equal
to the situation, and so very plainly demonstra
ted to her other half the impossibility of a sepa
ration from her “and the twins’” that after a
few frantic efforts he subsided, and learning a
lesson from the past, will in the future keep in
the usual tenor of his way.
1 THE GEORGIA I>RESS.
Boll worm and rust are damaging cotton in
Lowndes and adjacent counties, to a cocsidera-
' ble extent.
Mr. M. Rosenfeld, a Thomasville merchant,
died very suddenly while on his way to New
York, from that place, last Monday.
We clip the following items from the Thom
asville Enterprise, of Wednesday:
The Boll Worm.—From many portions of
tbe county, and from beyond the Florida line,
comes the report that the boll worm is making
its appearance in the cotton-fields. Some re
port the damages already great, and it is feared
that its ravages will be general. The rust is
also doing considerable injury. But for these
the prospect in this section would be good, the
most of the cotton being well fruited.
Fine Cotton.—Dr. T. S. Hopkins has left at
our office a stalk of Dickson ootton which con
tains one hundred and three matured bolls, be
sides a few blossoms and forms. It was grown
on his place near the farm of Bov. M. C. Smith,
and shows what good culture and stable manure
will do. The Doctor has thirty acres thns tended,
which he reports excellent.
The engineers are now at work locating the
line for a railway from Perry to Fort Valley
and have reached a point midway the two places.
The Home Journal sayB Houston county, from
present appearances, will not make more than
half a crop of cotton, on account of rust. The
corn crop of the county, if equally divided,
would probably supply home demand.
When a negro wants to get out of the Wash
ington jail, he says to the jailor, when the
latter brings him his dinner: “Lor! bos3, look
at dat snake dar.” The jailor looks and Cuff
bolts through the door. The jailor thon sits
down and snatches himself bald headed to the
tune of "bless that nigger.”
Mr. Jas. Spratlin, a well known and highly
esteemed citizen of Wilkes county, died very
suddenly last Monday.
Says the Washington Gazette:
Bunaway Match—Washington a Gretna
Green.—On last Sunday the morning nap of
W. J. Callaway, Esq., onr worthy and efficient
J. P., was disturbed by the arrival of a romantic
couple from Oglethorpe county, who desired to
be united in the bonds of matrimony immedi
ately. Mr. Callaway responded forthwith and
spliced the anxious, trembling, blooming Miss
Carter to the sturdy and brave Mr. Kirkpatrick
in true, legal, Georgia Justice style, which will
defy all the divorce courts of Yankeedoodledom.
Mr. Kirkpatrick stole his blushing bride the
night before. He laid out in the boshes and
sb» came to him about midnight. Tho gallant
groom stated that when he asked the old man
for his daughter, the old fellow refused. The
heroio and love-smitten swain said he would
have her anyhow. The cruel parient replied
that he’d bet him a hundred dollars he’d see
him when he got her. The undaunted lover
replied that he’d lake that bet. He says he
thinkR he has won.
Referring to the State Road corruptions the
Constitutionalist says, and we heartily endorse
the suggestion:
It is to be hoped that among the first meas
ures the Legislature will adopt, at its meeting
in November, will be the appointment of a
special committee, with power to send for per
sons and papers, to investigate the management
of tho road from the day Bullock removed Maj.
Campbell Wallace to tho day that Foster Blodgett
was or will be relieved from tbe position of Su
perintendent. Especial investigation should be
made in regard to the authority and necessity
of continuing to pay tho officers of the road
their regular salaries after tho road had passed
out of the hands of the State. The committee
should be instructed to prosecute, on the crimi
nal side of the court, every person found to be
connected with the frauds and robbing; that, if
proven guilty, the State may get a small return
for the money stolen, by their labors in the
penitentiary, or in breaking stone at Stone
Mountain.
The Colnmbus Enquirer of Friday says:
Death of Mrs. Wst. H. Chambers.—It is with
deep sorrow that wo record the death of this
amiable lady, which occnrred at the family res
idence in Russell county, Ala., on Wednesday
evening, from tho effects of a congestive chill.
Although Mrs. Chambers had been indisposed
for some days previously, yet her death was
sudden and unexpected to all. She was the
daughter of the late Dr. A. EL Flewellen, and
sister of A. O. Flewellen, Esq., of this city.
She was a devoted Christian, and indeed a true
and noble lady in every walk of life. What
renders the sad dispensation more painful still
is the fact that her husband was absent from
home at the time, and consequently not permit
ted to receive and administer consolation in the
expiring hour.
Columbus received her first bale of new cot
ton, Thursday, from Stewart county. It classed
low middling, and sold for 17 cents per ponnd.
Dr. Edward Johnson, son of Hon. James
Johnson, of Columbus, died lost Tuesday.
The trial of old Tunis Campbell and the other
negro Ku-kinxers from Darien, before the
United States Commissioner at Savannah, re
sulted in their discharge. The News says the
trial was “a farce.”
The Albany News says Mrs. Joiner, of Dooly
county, whose son by a former husband (Deve-
reanx) killed her last bnsband in that county,
a few days since, has been bailed as accessory
to the homicide, in the sum of $2,500. Deve-
reaux, it will be remembered, made his escape
the day of'the murder, and has not boon heard
of since.
We quote the following from the Albany News,
of Friday:
Condition of the Crops.—Since onr return, a
few days ago, we have made earnest inquiry
about the crops in this and adjacent oonnties,
and the resnlt is for. more cheering than we had
hoped. In the oakwood3 of this county, Lee
and Baker the cotton crop is very good, and
promises an extraordinary yield. The pine
lands on (ho east of the Flint are doing badly.
Thousands of acres will not yield enough to pay
for the seed planted, while very few planters
can count on even half a crop. The rust has set
in on the thin lands, and is now doing great dam
age, and we learn the boll worm has also mode
its appearance and is doing its work of destruc
tion. The pine lands of all adjacent counties
may be classed with those of Dougherty, with
tbe saving remark that rolling lands and well
cultivated fields are net so bad as tbe flat lands
and neglected acres. It is believed by the closest
observers and best informed men with whom we
have conversed, that if tho boll worm, oater-
pillar and rust do not devastate the crop, full
five-eights, and possibly three-fourths of an
average yield may be relied on.
What we say of the condition of cotton is ap
plicable to the com crop. Capt. T. H. Johnson,
who has been engaged in surveying the right-of-
way for the Southwestern Railroad extension,
has just returned from a rambling trip through
the southwestern part of this county and Cal
houn county, and he reports for Calhoun splen
did com crops and fair average cotton crops.
He thinks she will make enough com to do her
own citizens and supply the deficiency in Dough
erty. He says in every instance where the
crops have been cultivated they are good.
There has been no drought to hurt anything,
and the present prospect in that region is highly
promising. Planters are in good spirits and
are hopeful of profitable harvests. Worth,
Mitchell and Baker counties will probably make
oom enough to supply themselves, but their
ootton crops are poor and not more than half a
yield is counted on.
Grasshoppers in Upper Georgia.—Last week
we saw, in Catoosa, myriads of these destructive
insects—or rather varmints, for they are quite
formidable enough in a com field to be so des
ignated. They were eating the corn blades, and
we observed that they would literally eat up the
fodder of a whole field in a day. Large fields
that we passed through on Friday, when they
had not appeared, was stripped on Sunday. If
they should attack the corn, the crop in upper
Georgia, already cut short by the drought, will
be a total failure, as was the wheat crop in that
section.
The Chronicle says ground will be broken on
the Augusta and Hartwell railroad on the first
day of September.
One of the Smith family, Christian name
Hardy, is in trouble at Kewmnm on acoount of
a couple of horses that would follow him out of
their owner’s stable.
Mrs. Francis Carmichael, of Coweta county,
is 87 years old, has 230 living descendants, and
after losing her sight for ten years, has had it
so restored that she can read coarse print. j
Tho Nownan Herald, of Friday, says work
on the Savannah, Griffin and North Alabama
Railway, from that place towards Carrolton
was resumed, under contract, last Tuesday.
Thompson’s mill-pond, on the line of Pike
and Upson counties, was drained last week, and
400 pounds of fish caught.
Major D. N. Pittman, one of the best oitizens
of DtKalb county, diedon Friday, aged 78 years.
We find the following cardin the Atlanta Con
stitution, of yesterday:
Editor Constitution: In your issue of this
morning appears a statement that the oolored
man, Hamp Whitehead, who died on Wednes
day last, was at work for Grant, Alexander &
Co. This is a mistake. The man alluded to
belonged to the Fulton County Chain Gang, and
was in the employment of Alexander & Broom-
head, who are the contractors for building the
Fulton County Jail. We have no interest in
the Fulton County Chain Gang or in the con
tract for building the jail, either directly or in
directly.
Papers that have published the artiole al
luded to will please do us the jastice to publish
this also. Grant, Alexander & Co.
We quote these additional items from the
same paper:
The recent investigations have clearly devel
oped perhaps the leading modus operandi by
which the State Road Treasury has been de
pleted. It is known, we believe, as loading a
bill. That is, where goods have been purchas
ed, the bill for the same has been increased fif
ty or one hundred per cent, and when paid the
overplus was divided among the ring. In this
way the books and accounts would appear en
tirely regular upon their face. Another mode
was by accounts altogether fraudulent, and still
another by two payments for the same biU.
Thus thousands of dollars were stolen, and
doubtless at least half a million of dollars went
in these various ways, for beyond all question
the profits of the Western and Atlantic Railroad
for the years 1S69 and 1870 amounted to that
much.
A Good Citizen.—Jim Harris, a colored man,
was in the business office of The Constitution
office yesterday morning. Jim Btated that he
was ninety-four years old, that he has had eight
wives, and knows that he is the father of sixty-
four children.
A negro named Hackett Ku-kluxed Mr. Har
rison, of Hall county, one day last week, by
knocking him down and beating him with a
gun until he was left for dead.
Storm at Savannah.
The News, of yesterday, says the severest
storm known for years visited that city Friday,
commencing about 11 A. m. We quote as fol
lows from its account:
The fall of rain wns immense. It came down
in perfect torrents all day, after about II or 12
o’clock. Our streets are perfectly flooded. In
some portions of the city the water is standing
two or three feet deep in the streets. Boats of
light draft could run through some of the
streets. We heard of several persons taking
a swim around the Baptist Churoh. The floors
of many stores are under water, and it stands
several feet in the cellars in many places.
Broughton street presents a river-like appear
ance. The pavements are under water in most
of the city. The water is rushing through the
streets and around corners, where there is mnch
declivity, with the swiftness of a cataract. It
is impossible to learn the extent of the damage,
as all passing abont is completely obstructed.
The only mode of traveling through the
streets is by the street cars, and these are kept
crowded by those living anywhere near the line.
The streets are deserted, and business almost
entirely suspended- The storm still continues
at a late hour, though the wind has abated some
what. The rain still falls almost nnabatingly.
Much property is damaged, and heavy losses
sustained. The large warehouse of Dr. Clarke,
on the corner of Bonghton and West Broad
streets, is very seriously damaged, and there is
great danger of its entire destruction. At five
o’clock in the afternoon the water had accumu
lated in tho cellar to the depth of eleven feet,
and was still rising. The Doctor, seeing the
danger to his property, hired hands to bail out
the water at the rate of five dollars per hour.
At nine o’clock the work of bailing was still go
ing on, but the danger to the building was still
very great.
The wind seems to have risen again and is
now blowing very hard. We apprehend very
serious results to vessels along our coast, and
if it has been as stormy at sea as it has been in
the city, there is scarcely a doubt of several
disasters being reported.
