Telegraph & Messenger. 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 Christian Statesman wrestled with his obdurate bash, they gazed in unfeigned admiration. The Statesman cracked several smiles during the struggle. _________ Mrs. Patience Opedoick, of Grass Lake, is 100 years of age and a Bevolntionary pensioner. She eats without the use of spectacles, and can bake bread in four languages.—Chicago Timet. A voting Alabama lady being told that her lover had been suddenly killed, cried: “Oh, that splendid gold watch of his 1 Give me some thing to remember him by.” Notice.—Mr. Horatio King is no longer au thorized to receive subscriptions for this paper. | 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.
