Telegraph & Messenger. WEDNESDAY MOHNINa. AUGUST 30, 1871. News Items. “IXiudekiso."—Cotton was hardening yester day in Liverpool. Wo have no donbt they will think it a hard case before the winter is over. AssAurnso the Ktr klxtz —It seems from the telegrams that the Danvillo niggers had a grand battle-royal with the Ku-klnx, last Thursday night, and hart themselves. Btrrura.—The World, of Solnrday, thinks Butler will succeed in gotting the nomination of the Massachusetts Badical Convention for Gov ernor, but cannot soy whothcr it is moro to the interest of the Democrats that Butler shonldgct the nomination, or run as a third candidate. Srriii—The Selma Times, of Saturday, says there were several formers in the city yesterday with very long faces on account of the depreda tions of the army worm. We see from the same paper that the cotton receipts of the year up to that date were 87,088 bales. Advzbtisdjo.—The Picayune says the sheriff of New Orleans has been directed to assess and collect from each tay payer in default three dol lars for the publication of bis namo in the list. As there are 9000 names, the ebargo for the ad vertisement, which only appeared in ono Badi cal sheot—the Bepublican—is $27,000. Warn zs me Civil Bioats Bill ?—A Major General and a Captain of the Massachusetts colored volunteers, were excluded from the grand Long Branch ball night before last, right under the shadow of the illustrious Grant! Where are equality and de fifteemph ’menment now ? What did Major General Gumbo say to that? Still on Their Winding Wav.—We see by a letter in a Washington paper that those orrant Knights of the Temple aro still on their winding way towards the Holy Land, and have got as far as Italy. They have seen all the lions—Vesu vius, Hercnleum, Pompeii, the groves of Sor rento, the tomb of Virgil, etc. At Borne they saw all the religious marvels—tho dungeon where St. Peter was incarcerated—the fountain miraculously callod into existence that he might baptize bis jailors—the chains that rusted round bis sacred body—the spurs of tho cock that crowed thrice when Peter denied his Lord, and so on. No doubt tho Knights promise them selves a high old time trouting in the Jordan or fox-hunting on tho Mount of Olives. “Dn. Livingstone Heard From.”—How many times has the nowspaper press of all civilization written that heading in the last two yoars? and yot no Dr. Livingstone oomes. A London tele gram of yesterday says he is slowly making his way homoward. Wo hope so, but are distressed by doubts. It must be confessed that he is very $low in making bis way. To our certain knowledge ho was at Ujijijijijiji “making his way home" more than a year ago. The road from that place leads through Dead Man’s Uiver, Cannibal Swamp, Pizen Arrow Slough, Blood Sucking Gulley and throngb the Fetish Trail. If Dr. Livingstone survives tbeso hor rors, let him wisely resolve to leave Africa to the Africans hereafter forever. But our private opinion is that he was cooked and oaten two years ago. Kbddotion op Bailwav Fares.—The Bail way Commissioners of Massachusetts have issued a circular recommending a general reduction of freights and fares, on tho ground of diminished ooet of railway supplies and furniture. They say the locomotives, which formerly cost $30,- 000, cost bnt $12,000; American rails, which, six years ago, oost $90 per ton, now soli for be tween $00 and $70; foreign rails have fallen in prico in the same proportion as gold; fuel, which, during the war, cost $12 per ton, now costs $8; steel has fallen evon moro than iron, and a sensible reduction has taken pkee in nearly every article of railroad supply, whilo on the other band, since tho year 18G0, the gross earnings of the railroads in Massachusetts have increased from $9,000,000 to $23,000,000 an nually, and their net earnings from less than $3,000,000 to considerably over $0,000,000. C'ottou Figures ami Speculations. The Financial and Commercial Chronicle’s table of visible supply last Friday night, shows 1,719,300 bales, against 1,430,322 at the same date last year—indicating 288,979 bales increase. Last week 302,398—the woek before, 333,700— showing a gradual decline. The New York business of the week was small —the actual sales being only 7,081 bales. The soles of futures (sham sales) amounted to 84,130 bales, in which low middlings closed—for Au gust at 18o; September 18$; October 18J; November 18 1-16 ; January 18J. The futures are oandidatea for futnro punishment in more senses than one. A slight upward turn in the New York market during the woek was noted, as the result of the Associated Press telegrams about caterpillars, which alarmed the Liverpool dealers, who are sensitive in respect tithe in creased consumption in this country and in Europe. The Ohroniole considers all these re ports prematnre. The weather reports show severe storms, confined principally to the Atlantio seaboard. It rained four days at Macon, two at Columbus, and delightful showers have extended over the interior of Alabama. At Mobile, Now Orleans, Galveston and Memphis there had been no rain. Galveston telegraphs that it was feared the dry weather would destroy the middle and top crops. Caterpillars had appeared in nearly all the (Southern States, but they always appear every summer, and in sections suffering with dry weather it was improbable that they should in crease so as to become a pest. The mercury averaged at Memphis 78, Charleston 80, Maoon 82, Columbus 84, Selma 90, Montgomery 87, Mobile 83, Galveston 89. J. 8* Schofield d: Son. The admirably arranged, and complete ma chine shops and foundry of these enterprising citizens, are famous throughout the South and West. Tho junior, Mr. J. B. Schofield, gives his un divided attention to the business, and is indefat igable m his efforts to please. As an evidence of the great popularity and success of their cot ton press, over seven hundred were erected in every section of the oountry last year, without a solitary rejection or note of disapprobation. Among their patrons may be mentioned the name of Mr. David Dickson, who has several of these screws in use, and has recently ordered two additional ones. The pattern room of this establishment is a perfect curiosity shop. An almost infinite va riety of modern inventions and ornamental and useful castings are represented here. Those wanting iron railings or machinery of any description may depend upon having all orders filled with dispatch and in the neatest style. Macon has cause to be justly proud of her numerous work shops and foundries. » m The Graphic —Brown & Co. send ns a copy of the magnificent Scott Centenary number of this illustrated serial, which has just been re ceived by them. It is made up of illustrations of some of the most striking incidents set forth in the Waverley novels, as well as of Abbotsford, Drybnrgh Abbey where Scott is buried, Melrose Abbey, Holyrood Palace and various household relics of the great novelist. It contains, be sides, the most graphically written biographi cal sketch that we have seen. This number out shines even onr expectations, and would alone make the reputation of any paper. A New anil Dangerous Badical Trick Ono of onr merchants rooeivod yesterday a package inclosing five pamphlets, and a circular marked "confidential,” requesting him us a prominent friend of the “Lost Cause," to circu late these pamphlets with secrecy and care. The pamphlet is a performance in eleven pages en titled “ Concession, or how the Lost Cause may be Regained and the Independence of the South Secured. Being an Address to my Fellow coun trymen by a Concessionist. Published by the Southern Association.'" Part First of the pam phlet, rebukes and refutes the idea that South- ern Independence is a lost cause, and on the contrary, asserts that the war and its sacrifices made the South a nation; that we have nothing in common with tho North except language ; and that the Union must necessarily be tempo rary and dangerous to both sections. Part second undertakes to show how Sonthern independence can be secured. The first step, says tho writer, “is to turn onr backs upon the venal, false-hear .od, Yankee new departure de mocracy of tho North.” “Let ns be true to ourselves. Shame on the false, craven-hearted Southerner ‘who accepts the situation,’ when that sitnation is one of dependence and slavery to a Northern conqueror." Concentrate all your energies and attention upon yonr own domestic political affairs.” “Use all the powers left yon to seize upon tho several State governments and then unite and demand your rights." “In order that yon, my fellow countrymen, may fnlly real ize the glorious opportunity which now offers, permit me, more in detail, to point out the mode by which the loss cause may be regained." And then the writer gives this process: First, over turn, by peaceable means all the Badical State Governments in the South—and pnt Sonthern men in all the offices. Then, second, call a convention of the States, and elect the Presi dent of a Southern Confederacy who is only to be inaugurated when the independence of the South is acknowledged. Third, send a com mission to Washington and demand indepen dence. Then we shall be told “wayward sis ters, dopart in peace.” Tho North is tired of war—everybody wonld unite in a peace party and the concession would at last bo made. Part third is addressed to the people of the North, and argues, after a fashion, tho policy and dnty ef conceding tho independence of the Sonthern States. - . Tho pamphlet is a farago of bluster and ba thos. It is stamped thronghont with hollow ness and insincerity. There is not a donbt in onr mind that it is a Radical trick, devised to sustain the assertions of Morton and the ultra- Badicals that the Sonthern Democracy is a rev olutionary party, still hatching treasonable de signs against the nnion of the States, and that the success of the Democracy North or South will be followed by the renewal of the attempt to secede. Neither pamphlet nor circular give any namo or clue to responsibility. The circular is dated “Booms of the Southern Convention, New York,” and both pamphlet and circular are da ted Angnst, 1871. It is a shallow device of most nnscrnpnlons partisans, bnt will serve its object and probably in a few days the Northern and Western Badical papers will be copying it in fall and sending it out among their readers as a genuine “Secret Circular”—disclosing tho irreconcilable animosity of the Southern people to pcaco and harmony in the union of tho States, and new plans for the final accom plishment of secession THE GEORGIA I’KESS. The Qaitman Banner grnmbles prodigiously over the tax returns of that county for 1871, which show a decrease in value of $247,233 since last year, and also a diminution of 411 polls since the same time. The Banner says it is a no such thing. The Quitman cotton factory is progressing finely. The first story has been completed, and tho building will bo ready for the machinery by the last of the year. A warehouse one hundred feet square is also being rapidly fin ished. The Banner says the accounts from every portion of Brooks and neighboring counties is, that tho cotton “has been very materially in jured by tho boll worm and rust. Many plant ers will not moke the fourth of their usual crop. Consequently the people are very despondent as to the future. Our planting friends in the counties of Madison and Jefferson, Florida, are not suffering to the same extent as the Geor gians. Many planters in those counties will make an average crop.’’ The Banner tells the following story of a bar- room wedding in Qaitman, a few weeks ago: A white man was confined in jail to answer an indictment by a grand jury. He could not procure bail; so a yonng girl, who was partially instrumental in his incarceration, sympathized with, and proposed to marry him, provided his custodians would release him. The arrange ment was satisfactory; and the parties repair ing to a bar-room, a Jnstice of the Feaoe speed ily united them in wedlock. At its conclusion, the fair bride turned to her groom, and with a significant nod sainted him thusly: “Jim, yon are now free, and you may thank me for re leasing yon from jail, bnt I’ll bo' derned if I’m going to live with yon!” The whole or a half interest in the LaGr&nge Reporter, one of the best weeklies in the State, is offered for sale. The Atlanta papers, of yesterday, say that Bollock has not returned from New Yolk, as they had previously announced. They gener ally do go off half-cocked. Monroe and Baldwin Superior Couits are in session this week. In the latter the Snead, Strother—who killed Captain Lewis Kenan— and Mims oases, excite considerable interest. The late rains destroyed a great deal of fod der in Spalding oounly. A squad of Yankee cavalry passed through Griffin Sunday night, bnt they wouldn’t tell their destination or errand. Barns and fences had better look out, though. Meriwether oonnty has subscribed $60,000 to the Columbus and Borne railway. The Star says there is a greater demand for store houses in Griffin now, than at any time since tho war. Dr. A. EL Hatton killed a grey eagle measur ing five feet ten inches from tip to tip of its wings, on his plantation, near Griffin, last week. The Griffin Star informs ns that “one of the regular all day, old fashioned singings, better known as Buckwheat or square notes, will be held at Tiizah Church, six miles above this place, on the Macon and Western Railroad, on next Sunday. All the big singers throughout the country will be on hand.” We suppose the Barnesville Gazette will at tend and report the proceedings. The Atlanta calaboose had 35 boarders Mon day morning. The trial of W. D. K. Millar, of Savannah, on a charge of cheating and swindling the State of Georgia ont of $7,500, was commenced at Atlanta, on Monday. Mullins, the man who was arrested here, has given bond in the sum of $2,500 to appear for triaL Forty-five cents’ worth of Atlanta benzine in troduced a one-legged ex-Confederate soldier from Texas to the police of that city, on Mon day. He was abont to clean out a hotel and its contents. We find the following letter in the Constitu tion, of yesterday. When Blodgett talks of co operating with honest men in exposing the frands and villainies of his Badical associates, the honest men had better keep their eyes skinned: Office Sup't.. Wrstfjiv and Atlantic B. R.,> Atlanta, Ga., August 28, 1871. j Bon. JI. P. Farrow, Attorney KYstern and Atlantic Railroad.—Dear Sir : I have read with mncli interest the correspondence between your self aud the late discharged book-keeper of the rosd in relation to the custody of the books, and heartily approve au<l fully endorse your course. There was no desire on my part to se crete, alter, take away, mutilate or destroy any book or paper belonging to the road, and my whole object in turning them over to you was to have them in such hands as to prevent this being done by others. . You have called on Messrs. Hammock, Bed- wine and Rawson to be present with you during the handling of the books. To this I have no objection, for though personally acquainted with only one of these gentlemen, (Mr. Bawson,) still I know them by reputation, and am satisfied that they will honestly discharge the duties de volved upon them, and in that they shall have my cheerful and cordial co-operation. Anything that I can do for their comfort, while engaged in this dnty, will be done with pleasure; and if agreeable to yon, I would respectfully sugge-t that you offer them the Attorney-General’s office in which to keep such books and papers as the appointed book keepers may desire to re fer to. I desire to say that I wish every courtesy extended to these gentlemen, and to you as well as to all citizens who may desire to examine any of the books or papers of the Western and Atlantic Bailroad. Very truly yours, Foster Blodgett, Superintendent Western and Atlantic Bailroad. Tornado In Telfair Coanly. Editors 1 degraph and Messenger: Between the honrs of 4 and 5 o’clock p. si., on the 25th instant, a tornado passed through the upper part of JCelfair and the lower part of Dodge counties, which was exceedingly violent. It commenced in Telfair, sweeping everything before it to the width of two hundred and fifty yards. It passed through a piney woods coun try for some ten miles, and along its path the trees were broken and blown down—falling in every direction. It made a clean sweep of ev erything. Even the bushes that stood in the branches, were mostly broken down or blown up by tho roots along its path. Fortunately there were no farms or dwellings in its course, or they wonld have been utterly destroyed. | T. 0. L. Crops in ScIUey County. Ellaville, Ga., Angnst 28th, 1871. Editors Telegraph and Messenger-. As yon manifest a deep interest in agriculture, you will, doubtless, be pleased to hear a word abont the crops. Com crops, wherever well manured and cultivated—low grounds and exhausted sand hills excepted—are superior. Drought damaged a small part of the crop. Guano applied to cotton last year, has greatly benefitted com this year. A severe drought, beginning abont tho 10th of July, and continuing to the 20th of this month—tho period during which most of the cotton crop is made—has, with many other causes, greatly reduced our cotton crop. This drought, however, was not general. Less guano was used and less land planted. My opinion, therefore, is that not more than two-thirds of a crop will be made. I agree with yon that Toombs will not be able to influence many Georgians in the coming na tional election. It wonld have been well with ns had he remained in Enrope. Givis.
