TUESDAY MORNING. AUGUST 22, 1871.
N>wh Items.
Cannibalism.—A Jamaica correspondent of
the Sun tells of a negro mnrder of a child five
years old, in which the murderer sneked the
bloocfof his little victim, and, indeed, seems to
have killed him for that purpose.
Cnors nt Alabama.—The Monroe Common
wealth reports from the prairie belt of Alabama
that oom will not averago above eight bushels
to the acre, and cotton will not produce more
than half of last year’s yield. The Common
wealth says in respect to Perry county that the
crops are next to a complete failure. Cotton is
smaller and more unpromising than it has over
been since tho war.
Pboobame fob Next Teem.—Senator Morton
is now on “a tour of oxpatiation” for Grant in
the ‘West. In his speech at St. Lonis he laid
down tho programme for the next four years, no
general amnesty, tariff and civil service reform,
reduction of taxes and enforcement of tho Ku
Klnx law.
The Hat Tiude.—Ex-Gov. Brown statod in a
speech bofore the State Agricultural Convention
at Romo that 33,000 bales of hay been import
ed from tho West over the Wostom and Atlan
tic Railroad, alone, within the last six months,
Cnors in Flohida.—Tho Floridian says gene
rally tho crops of all kinds in Florida will provo
good. Cotton, though in somo sections rotarded
by rain, as yet has not suffered except in a sin-
glo locality from the catorpiller. Picking has
alroady commenced, and it is now so late that
in any event two thirds is safe. Com has been
planted more extensively, and a fair crop is
promisod. Too much rain will shorten it in tho
lower counties, but the increased area will make
up for this loss. Sweet potatoes, peas and
smaller crops are doing well. Cano is well ad
vanced and promises to be extra, and tho plant
ing has been more extensive than over before.
Oranges are all right, and in the lower conntioB
the tropical fruits aro in excellent condition.
Grapes are everywhere good. Peaches now grow
well, aro exoellont in quality and large in quan
tity. On the whole, we think that when our
plantors bfdanco their books for 1871 the figures
will show better than in any year since the war.
Road Steamer.—Tho Troy Messenger says:
We learn from Judge Yelvorton that the citizens
of Elba have raised tho necessary stock to pur
chase and put into operation one of Thomp
son's celobratod road steamers, to rnn from
Troy to tho Four Milo Landing, near Geneva,
whero It will connect with river steamers to
Pensacola and New Orleans.
Quick.—The telegrams report that the City
of Bristol, which arrived yesterday in New
York, made her trip in eight days and thirteen
hours.
FinES.—The morning dispatches yesterday
reported four largo fires with an aggregate loss
of over §8,000,000.
New Cotton.—Tho Montgomery Advertiser
says four bales of cotton of the new crop were
brought in yesterday, and sold to the first of
ferers at nominal prices.
Tbe Senatorial Election.
A Monroe county correspondent suggests
George W. Adams os a candidate for the Sena
torial vacancy in this district. It is quite need
less to say Inst Mr. Adams is a gentleman of in
telligence, energy, sagacity, discretion and in
tegrity. We are quite cortain ho would share
in, or tolerate, no kind of corruption or dis
honesty. But it seems to us, in order that an
agreement may be arrived at, tbero should be a
convention of the Democrats of the district—
either at Forsyth or any other point which may
be preferred, and it ought to meot soon. Tbe
election being on the 13th of September, there
are only about twenty days to prepare for it;
and tbe convention should be held as early as
Saturday, the 2nd day of September.
Snvjuinnli Still Stands.
At tho great storm in Savannah last Friday
and Saturday, tho unprecedented rain fall of
fourteen inches and eight-tenths was shown by
the rain-guage. This is such a waterfall as is
not seen in a life time, and no wonder some
damage was done. But Savannah, though wet
and dripping, still stands, nnd in evidence of it
wo point to our cards of leading houses in the
Forest City, nil ready for business from the in'
terior. There aro none of higher character
than Messrs. W. H. Stork «fc Co., Jno. W. Ander
son’s Sons, Duncan & Johnston, F. W. Sims A
Co., Tison A Gordon, L. J. Gnilmartin A Co.,
and Colquitt A Biggs.
At tempi to Assassinate a Woman at
Americas.
Amebicus, August 18, 1871.
Editor* Telegraph and Messenger : An at
tempt was made here last night abont 11 o’clock
to assassinate a Miss Cntts, of this placo, by
some one as yet unknown. The weapon nsed
was a pistol. The assassin fired three shots
throngh an open window, two of which took
effect in tbe back. One or two parlios aro sus-
pootedof having committed this diabolical deed,
bnt as yet no arrests havo keen made. The town
is qniet and dusty. D. D. E.
Dby Weatheb in Nobthebn Geohoia.—
Mr. J. H. Estill, proprietor of the Savannah
News, and Mr. J. C. Harris, associate editor of the
same paper, were in onr office on their return
from the up-oonntry to tho seaboard yesterday.
Mr. Estill informed ns that in Rome, when he
left, they had had no rain for nine weeks. The
country was parched np—the roads a bed of
impnlpable red powder, and the air fall of it
almost to suffocation. The condition is bnt
very little better from a point twenty miles
east of Atlanta to Rome and beyond. Crops,
of cornso, are ent off.
The nltimatnm of A. H. Stephens, of Geor
gia, (says the New York Herald, of Tuesday,)
on the “new departure” is simply this, that if
the National Democratic party in their platform
of 1872 supports this new departure in the ac
ceptance of what he calls the fraudulent Four
teenth and Fifteenth Amendments,he will him
self tako a “new departure” in the search of a
new party. Very good. The more the merrier.
We shall probably have three or four parties in
the field in 1872, which will make things lively,
though not very doubtfnl, bnt we shall have,
most likely, a regular old-fashioned scrub race
in 187G, “with all the modern improvements,”
which will make things very lively and the re
sult exceedingly doubtful.
A Caufobnia cock has two legs growing on
of its back. They do not differ in formation
from the nnder,ones, and, nnlike extra limbs,
aro under the command of the owner, and may
be used by him. When he becomes tired stand
ing in his natnral position, he gives a flap flap
and walks off npside down. He sometimes turns
a number of summersaults in succession ont of
pure love for it. After taking a drink he im
mediately turns over to as to swallow it more
readily. He has proved a terrible lighter,
looking like a revolving wheel as he kicks in all
directions.
I en Fence Feb Found.—Under date of
August 10th, “ Willoughby ” writes as follows
to the Augusta Constitutionalist:
Cotton is in something of a flurry. Some of
the “bears" estimate the next crop as high as
3,750,000 bales, and there is no doubt a large
stock of cotton goods on hand, for which the
demand is for the moment small. Bnt no mat
ter. With a crop even half a million bales less
than last year, E irope will pay ten pence per
pound for her share of it, and planters may
govern themselves accordingly. We are down
to export figures, and our stock is being rapidly
shipped to Liverpool.
Frigbienea to Death.
Since the Wostfield Boilor Explosion our
New York Brithring seem to have been indus
triously working themselves into a state of
alarm which, at last accounts, was verging into
phrenzy, and is certainly nnhappv and dan
gerous. Every ferry-boat has become “a mad
dog.” People who must cross the river, crowd
in terror to both extremities of the craft, till
they get to fighting among themselves for the
Dost most remote from danger. Every steam
boiler has suddenly become “rotten and honey
combed,” and a hiss from the scape valve makes
a crowd jump like the report of a Paixhan gun.
Every man who can write a letter of alarm to a
newspaper seems to bo doing it now, after this
sort:
Editors of the Daily FrighXener.—To my
certain knowledge the boilers in the old ferry
boat Blowemnp were twenty-six years old last
April, and have never been repaired. When
the public learns that these boilers, bad as
they aro, are much the best on that line, people
can seo what they have to expect from the
heartless and bloodthirsty corporation which
controls that ferry. Look ont for a still more
murderous Explosion.
Editors of Daily Uorror.—I am this day noti
fied by probably the most skilled engineer In tho
United States Navy that not one stoam boiler of
the thousand in daily use in and around this city
can bo trusted for a day. Think of tho hun
dreds of steamboilers under our pavements, as
well as on the death dealing common carriers
by water and land around New York, and judge
what is to be tho fate of our unhappy people.
Walking or riding wo stand alike on the verge
of a doom too horrible to think of.
Sudden Death.
This caps the climax!—This destroys all hope
and sinks the people down into the imbecility
of despair. Tbe gronad beneath them is honey-
combod with young volcanoes all waiting to
“blow np” in the most unexpected and distress
ing manner possible. “Few poople,” says the
Commercial Advertiser, “know what constant
danger they are in.” Besides the thousands of
stoamboilors under the streets nsed to drive ma
chinery, every store and warehouse have their
steamboilers for heating and driving the dum
mies. Every hotel has its steam-heating and
hoisting apparatus, all under tho feet of street
pedestrians, andasif that were not enough, there
arelhemagazinesof fire-works, gun-powdergun-
cotton, nitroglycerine and the thousand and one
explosive chemicals, to say nothing of naptha,
kerosene, campheno, alcohol, spirits tnrpentino,
benzine and all the zines. Death lurks around,
above and below ns, like a coiled rattlesnake.
The wonder is (one would think) that they live a
moment, and the probabilities aro that, at the
next, these numerous explosives may go off all
together, and their furious bnt antagonistic
forces shoot the remains of the wretched vic
tims back and forth like the fiery serpent of the
pyrotechnic.
We beg to suggest to the Daily Horror, that
something is dne to the nerves of the people.
It was terrible that so many people should be
crushed and scalded to death by the Westfield,
bnt it will be no bettor if as many more fall
victims to an epidemic fright.
THE GEORGIA PRESS.
Religions revivals are now progressing in the
second Baptist church at Augusta and the Meth
odist church at Elberton—the latter of which,
tho Gazette says, was “badly needed in onr
community.”
A Bainbridge student at Oxford college who
wore his hair too iong, was Kn-klnxed one night
last week as he was returning from interviewing
the “light of bis eyes,” and brutally sheared,
without the least regard to the prevailing mode
of hair cutting.
Henry Kimbrough, of Talbotton, while play
ing base-ball last Saturday, fell and broke his
arm. The Standard says it was “adjusted,”
however, and ho is doing welL
Mr. John McCoy, an old and much esteemed
citizen of Talbot county, died last Tuesday,
aged G5 years.
Of crops in Talbot oonnty the Standard says:
The Chops, since the rains, have manifested
some improvement. We have had an excellent
time for Baving fodder, which onr planters have
made good use of. Flenty of com will be made.
The cotton prospect does not indicate so large a
erop aa the past year. There will be a falling off
of a third to a half. The boll worm has made its
appearance in this county.
The Early County News says that many of
tbe finest Spring Creek farms in that comity are
now “the picture of decay.”
Under the head, “A Jnst Rebnke,” the Gnth-
bort Appeal shows tho Ievelness of its head. It
says:
A Rome letter writter relates that on the
night of the 10th the members of the Agricul
tural Convention were serenaded at the various
hotels. Gen. P. M. B. Young, Congressman
from the 7th Distriot, and the irrepressible Col.
Styles, of the "Albany News, were stopping qt
the Choice Ilonse, and made speeches. Col.
S. appeared first, and went to spontmg about
tho “now departure.” and prosecuting that
foolish war between Democrats, which we fear
will be the cause of tho party’s defeat in the
next campaign.
Gen. Yonng, then being called for, remarked
that he would “not detain the crowd by a polit
ical speech. This was simply a meeting of the
prominent agriculturalists of Georgia, and farm
ing and politics should not be blended on this
occasion. He would be heard from the proper
time and daces during the approaching cam
paign.”
Whether so intended or not, it was a keen re
bnke to the many imprudent politicians who,
instead of keeping their gnns pointed towards
the Radical lines, are sponting and gassing
abont “departures," and thus firing round after
round Into the very ranks of the party they
claim to love so well. W6 have had enough of
this useless bombast and ohild’s play. For the
country's sake let this wild goose chasing within
our own lines be stopped; and let every muzzle
point direotly towards the already weak and di
vided lines of Radicalism.
During the storm of Friday and Saturday, at
Savannah, fourteen and eight-tenths inches of
water fell.
N. M. Kirby, of Lowndes county, charged
with passing counterfeit money, and J. S. Nor
man, of Colqnitt county, charged with raising
or altering one dollar bills to tens, and tens
to twenties, were held to bail in $5,000 at
Savannah, on Saturday, to appear at the next
term of the United States District Court.
The schooner Shiloh, which left Kennebec
River, Maine, on the 20th of July, with a cargo
of ice, reached Savannah Saturday, the 19th
inst Seventy-five tons of ice melted during
the voyage.
Cuthbnrt, with only three dissenting votes,
agreed, last Saturday, to subscribe $5,000 to
the High School.
Americas remonstrates against the “social
evil” with bird shot, bnt don't shoot either
straight or strong enough to make the remon
strance effecutal.
The Americas Republican, of Friday, says:
No Mail Ronte Agents will accompany the
trains of the S. W. Road, hereafter, on Bandars,
consequently no mails will be distributed along
the route. Letters for and above Macon v.ill
be sent off and received as heretofore.
The Columbns San hears that two more cot
ton factories are soon to be established in that
city.
Says the Columbns Sun, of Sunday:
Good News fbom the Nobtk & South Rail
road.—In company with President McDougald.
Secretary Chipley, Chief Engineer Winn and
CoL Lane, we made a flying trip yesterday to
the wort of the North A Sonth Railroad. We
passed the camp of the various contractors, but
have forgotten all their names. We can only
assure our readers that the contractors and their
forces are active, and working with a vim. Jeff.
L*ne and Haynes are working tbe first section,
while Towles A Co., Hazelhurst A Co., Vernoy
A Uo., Darden A Hammond occupy respective
sections on the line, reaching to the tenth sec
tion. The bridging, trestling and track laying
has been let to Wilkins A Bros , well known
bridge contractors, who with their skilled and
well organized force, will shortly arrive. Be
fore the first day of January the road will be In
such condition that trains will rnn to Fine
Mountain.
Jas. F. Bidgelee, the Roma printer who was
published by the Printer’s Union, of that place,
has sued each and every member thereof for
Blander, laying his damages at $5,000.
The Chronicle & Sentinel, of Sunday, quotes
a rumor from the Colombia Phenix to the effect
that the Pennsylvania Central railway is making
extensive purchases of Charlotte, Columbia and
Augusta railway stock, and adds :
The same reports have been circulated in this
city, and it is believed that tho Pennsylvania
Central has purchased a great deal of tbe stock
here in Augusts during the past few weeks. One
report states that the Central has managed to
secure here and elsewhere eight thousand shares
of the stock.
The Columbus Son, of Sunday, says there
was a destructive fire at Union Springs, Ala.
the day before, which burned four stores and
caused a loss of $20,000, over and above insm
ranee.
A man namedJas. Nelson was picked np near
Haywood’s ice house at Savannah, Saturday
night, in an insensible condition, and scarcely
recognizable from a terrible beating ho had re
ceived in a neighboring bar-room.
Richard Lazenby and Radford Perkins,
McDuffie county, were arrested and carried
Augusta, last Saturday, on a warrant issned by
Jndge Gilson, of that cironit, charged with cut
ting a negro named Gibbs, on the 13th of last
May. •
The Waynesboro Expositor, of Friday, says
A Sad Accident—Mxstebious.—'While Mr.
Thomas Prescott and Mr. JameB Tennyson wore
together hunting a “destructive boar,” (whioh
had long been a terror in its section), a gnn
upon the shoulder of the former was accidentally
discharged, the entire load, seven buck-shot,
lodging in the breast of the latter. A coroner’s
jury was summoned, whioh, after investigation,
rendered a verdict in accordance with the above
facts.
On Saturday lost a young gentleman of this
town, while duck hunting, found a negro babe
in the pond—evidently thrown there to drown.
He ordered a negro boy, who accompanied him,
to take care of the ‘abandoned’ nntil his return!
whioh the boy failed to do—and upon his return
to the spot tho child had disappeared. One ne
gro was lodged in jail on Sunday, bnt was set
at liberty on Monday, no one having appeared
to make or sustain a charge against him. At
the present time the affair is veiled in mystery—
the which, however, we hope will come fully to
light in a few days, and the murderers be brought
to justice.
We also learn that Mr. George Broadfleld,
who has been in the employ of Moses P. Green’
of Burke county, was found dead in the peach
orchard at tho place of his employer on last
Friday. Mr. Broadfleld has been complaining
for some time, had disapeared on Thursday, anc.
was found on Friday as above described.

The Cotton Outlook.
The New Orleans Picayune of Friday in an
extended review of the cotton outlook, says
the average price of cotton, in the home mar
ket was, for the crop of 18GS-9, 24jc; for the
crop of 18G9-70, 23J; for the crop of 1870-71, it
it has been 14 1-G, and show a decline of about
32 per cent, while the increase of the crop was
39 per cent. The Picayune says:
With regard to the extent of the American
erop now maturing, it is too early to speak with
exactness, but the prospects are good for 3,250,-
000 bales, and the amount maybe exoeeded
with an extended picking season, and favorable
weather from this time forward.
Allowing, however, that the crop may exceed
the above figures, it seems likely that by the time
that receipts assume liberal proportions, prices
will be materially higher. The average price of
cotton in this market at present is abont 15|o.
per pound. This is bnt a shade above the price
one year ago. In fact the grades of cotton
above Good Ordinary are now qnoted just the
same as they were on tho 17th of August, 1870;
bnt the lower grades are worth more. The
prospect at present is certainly better for tho
seller of cotton than it was at this time last
year. Instead of warfare and destruction, we
now have peace. Instead of a prospective large
increase in tho supply, there will bo a falling
off in America, and probably a still heavier de
crease in India.
32d Senatorial District.
Editors Telegraph and Messenger : An elec
tion to fill tho vacancy in this district has been
ordered on tho — day of September. Who
shall be tbe Democratic candidate? If onr
friends will let ns suggest the name, we will pro
pose a gentleman worthy of the place and com
petent to discharge its duties with credit to him
self and his constituents. One whose extensive
experience in important positions, whose intel
ligence, energy and personal worth would make
him a valuable member of any declarative body.
He has been a successful and prosperous me
chanic, filling with much credit high places in
that profession. He has been entrusted with
tho duties of an important office of the munici
pal interests of the city of Macon, and dis
charged those duties with credit to himself and
to the satisfaction of alL Other places he has
also filled with like honor and credit, and he is
now and has been for several years, an industri
ous, successful and highly intelligent farmer.
We refer to Col. Geo. W. Adams, of Monroe,
and ask tbe candid oonsideraiion of the people,
on the foregoing suggestions. Monroe oonnty
will not claim the candidate, bnt if Col. Adams
be the man, she will feel that she has furnished
a Senator who will be an ornament to her
- Citizens.
OBITUARY.
Died, in this city, on 19th of August, Pat. E.
Nei.t.toan, aged 21 years and 6 months.
“This lovely flower whose opening leaves
Received our constant care,
Was gently drawn to Heaven above,
To breathe its fragrance there.”
Death has been in onr midst and borne from ns
one who was deeply beloved, for
“None knew Pat bnt to love him.
None named him but to praise."
He was a pure minded, generous hearted, cheer
ful yonng man. He was moreover, a kind, gener
ous and constant friend, and an affectionate eon
and brother. All will unite in testifying to the many
nob’.o qualities he possessed, and the young friends
of his acqnaintance will deeply mourn his removal
from their midst; and saddened, they must realize,
that what is their loss is his gain, for ho is now a
bright angel in Heaven. When taken sick, his
friends seemed to think his sufferings would be of
short duration. When the Father of his church
called to see him, he gave him every assurance that
he did not fear to die; that death had no terror.
He was a practical Catholic and Bought earnestly to
be prepared for that event. Just before dying he
gave Father Bazin, an assurance, with an exultation
of joy, “that all is well with me.” He leaves
most devoted mother, sisters, brother, affianced
bride, teeidea a large circle of friends to mourn his
loss; and although the blow is hard to bear, may
we learn to give him np, and to say withsubmisaion;
‘Father, not our will, but yours be done,” remem
bering that the * ‘Lord gave and the Lord hath taken
away.” While we mourn the loss of the loved,
whom Providence in his inscrntible and myterioua
way has transf erred to bloom in his Paradise, and
who now joined those loved ones of his family
that have gone before, we are consoled with the
cheering hope of a reunion beyond,
“On that peaceful shore,
Where pilgrims meet to part no more.”

The undersigned having been elected President
of Andrew Female College, an old and popular In

of tho South, makes his bow to the public, and so
licits sympathy and a liberal Bhare of patronage.
Summoned to a high and holy work—that of pre
paring the minds and hearts of the young for the
business and pleasures, joys and sorrows of life—
he will call to his assistance the best edneators of
the country, and address himself to tho task with

Should time, whose verdict we woo, demonstrate
that he cannot preside with dignity and success—
that he is incapable of imparting instruction—that
he is not in the proper place—that Andrew Famale
College does not return a substantial equivalent to
its patrons—the President will abandon the enter
prise and refund all damages religiously assessed.
