Telegraph &. Messenger. 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. NEW ADVERTISEMENTS MAl’OX B. & L.

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.” F.
