Pbice of Mockixo Birds.—Under the head
of city nows, tho New York World says mock
ing birds vary in price according to their natur
al and acquired accomplishments. One of av
erage talents, for instance, can bo had for $25,
while some dealers have birds so clever that
$1,000 would not “fetch” one of them.
Communications.—The ontsido of our paper
to-day contains some very interesting commu
nications—a review of tho railway situation
in Chattanooga—a capital article upon deep
culture and tho laws of vegetable growth—a
slashing artiolo upon the decision of the Su
premo Court affirming tho constitutionality of
tho relief laws.
B. A. Wise has returned from tho North, and
is receiving at his storo on Cherry stroet an ex-
tonsivo and elegant assortment of household
furnishing articles, which will inclndo tho finest
array of cutlery, domestic and pocket, over ex

mado arrangements for tho energolic direction
of his crockory establishment on Mulberry
street, will make his headquarters during tho
fall and winter at the Cherry streot stand, and
invites all his customers to examine his stock.
It will includo the largest and best assortment
of stoves to be found in Middle Georgia—and a
splendid array of lamps, chandeliers and gas
fixtures, and every description of household and
kitchen wares and utensils of tho latest patterns
and on tho most roasonable terms.
Tlie Incoming Cotton Crop.
Tho telegrams of yosterday informed ns that
tho Charleston Courior and News agree in esti
mating tho incoming crop' at from tbreo to
threo and a quarter millions of bales. On what
premises can such an estimato bo based ? The
crop grown in 18CD represented tho product of
a highly propitious year—a protracted season
and a very liberal application of fertilizers, and
it W03, in round numbers, 3,155,000 bales. Bun
over the previous orops since the war, as fol
lows: 1868, 2,439,039 bales; 1867, 2,593,993
bales: 1866,2,010,774; 1865, 2,103,987. Tho
aggregate of the six crops beginning with that of
1865, and counting tho crop of 1870 at four
and a half million bales, amonnts to 16,901,739
bales. Divido by six and wo havo an average
yield for six years of 2,816,956 per annum.
Up ta last spring no ono pretended to con
sider tho crop grown in 1869 “an average
crop.” It was universally conceded to have
beonaorop exceptionably good. It started out
with fino stands and it encountered no misfor
tune worse than a drouth in July, which caused
some shedding, bnt which was followed by pro-
pitions rains and a now growth that realized a
vory productive fruitage through a late fall.
That crop showed a gain of 715,907 bales on
tho short crop of the provions year. Nothing
but the unprecedented product of last year—
the joint rosnlt of extravagant fertilizing—the
infatuation of a cotton mania, and a year pro
pitious almost beyond example, could havo in
duced any body to set up the crop of 1869 as
an averago crop. But last year was wholly ab
normal. It showed a product almost double that
of any previous year since tho war—the heavy
crop of 18G9nlono excepted. Tho avorage of
tho four previous years being 2,311,698 bales,
the crop of lost year was ovor two millions in
excess. It was simply a spasmodic crop—tho
result of an exhaustive effort of productive
energy, backed by twenty-five or thirty millions
worth of fertilizers and supplemented by tho
concurrence of every natural condition for the
development of an extraordinary product.
In short, we fail to see any solid reason what
ever for making up an average crop out of the
joint products of the last two years, and that is
precisely what every estimator is doing. Both
wero exceptional years. In both the product
was stimulated by lavish applications of guano;
and both were favored with seasons unusually
propitious. Both crops had a fair start and a
glorious consummation. There is hardly a
planter in Georgia who would pretend to set up
tho product of either or of both ns his own over
age crop on a similar acreage.
A liberal average, it seems to us, would be
mnde up out of the solid crop product of freed
labor since the war. And that this is not alone
onr view, we have heretofore shown from the
cotton year book for 1871. The editor of that
intelligent publication, writing a little less than
a year ago, says:
“The season of 1869 was highly favorable;
that of 1870 has surpassed it. In all the history
of American cotton growing the third progress
ively favorable season has never occurred. A
planting equal in area to that of 1870, may turn
out leas than 3,000,000 bales."
Assuming, then, that a fair average crop would
be less than 3,000,000 bales, what is there in
the situation to justify the expectation of an
average crop? We see not tl e first reasonable
ground to hope for it. The accounts from
ovory section of the cotton growing belt, Ar
kansas, Florida and Texas, excepted, all pre
diet a deficit of a third to a half. And as to
these exceptions we may remark that Texas is
now sending forward bad reports, and Arkansas
has modified her anticipations very mnch within
two or threo weeks. We see no chance for an
average crop, and we see no possible founda
tion for a threo and a quarter million estimate
more rational than this: Assume that the last
crop, of 4,500,000 bales, was “anaverage crop.”
Then knock off about thirty per cent, for di
minished area, bad stand, rust, worms, imper
fect and generally unpromising condition, and
you will come down to the 3,250,000 bale esti
mate.
That Babn.—A representative of tho Atlanta
Constitution has been up in Cobb connty, to
find out all about that barn of Bollock’s of which
we havo heard so much. It stands on a farm of
1200 acres, for which $14,000 was paid. It is
three stories high, 100 feet long by 50 feet wide,
has 25 stalls, and iron racks and troughs. In it are
$2,500 worth of the most improved agricultural
implements. It will cost $12,000 or $15,000
when finished. Tho reporter was informed that
His Excellency had only sixteen acres in cotton
on his farm, and that the prospect for making
enough provisions to do the place this year, was
very slim. Tho reporter concludes his article
with the highly impertinent intimation that it
is impossible to keep people from wondering
how and when Governor Bullock fell heir to so
much wealth?

The Savannah News, of Friday, says:
Steameb Lost off Florida.—Wo learn from
a telegram received here last evening that the
steamer Jnnatia was lost off the coast of Florida,
a day or two since. There was one passenger,
a Mr. Millington, rescued by the U. S. ship
Sevom. As to the fate of the balance of the
passengers or crew we could learn nothing.

of year just closed, 65,926 bales.
We clip the following from the Chronicle and
Sentinel of Friday:
Abbested in Macon.—We learn that several
days ago there was a young man from New York
in this city, named Dubai. He had formerly
boen connected with a well known mercantile
firm in Now York, and represented that he still
retained the connection. By means of these
representations he succeeded in getting one of
onr merchants, Mr. J. A. Apel, to cash a draft
on the firm for seventy-fivo dollars. The draft
wa3 immediately sent to New York and payment
refused, the firm statiDg that the drawer was no
longer in their employment, and was not author
ized to draw upon them. On yesterday, learn
ing that Dubai was in Macon, Mr. Apel tele
graphed to Macon and had him arrested by the
police of that city. He is expected here this
evening.
We find these items in tho Savannah Bcpub-
iican, of Friday:
Beeak on the Atlantic and Gulf Bail-
boad.—The report reaches us that the bridge
over tho Suwannee Biver on the branch of the
Atlantic and Gulf Bailroad, between Lawton
Station and Live Oak, was washed away on
Wednesday night. The passenger train coming
in, barely escaped—the train having obeyed
the signal to put down breaks within a few
yards of the fearful chasm, made by the rush
of water on the Suwannee. The break, we are
informed, will be speedily repaired, and in time
for the train leaving yeBterday.
A BnuTAL Assault. — Yesterday afternoon
about 1 o’clock, as a white man, who was under
the influence of liquor, was passing along the
corner of York and Price streets, a negro said
something to him, when the white man replied
to the nogro’s remark. The latter then ran into
Flaherty’s grocery and seized a stick of wood,
with which he dealt tho intoxicated man a blow
that knocked him insensiblo in the street, the
negro escaping arrest by flight Tho injured
party was taken off by a policeman.
A Lady Badly Hubt by a Stone Thbown by
a Negbo Boy.—Wednesday afternoon, while
Mrs. James LaBoohe, in company with another
lady, was returning from Laurel Grove Cem-
otery, Bhe was struck a very severe blow on the
left temple by a rock thrown by a negro boy,
which cut her very seriously. The rascal, see
ing the (fymsge he had done, made his escape,
as thero was no policeman near the scene of
the mishap. The lady thus injured was taken
to a physioian and the wound dressed. The
stone which struck her was a sharp flint rock,
weighing probably half a pound.
xno city authorities of Savannah are using a
mixture of carbolic acid and water, to water the
streets.
We quote, as follows, from the Albany News,
of Friday:
The Cotton Cbop a Failhbe.—We are now
in possession of reliable data from the whole of
South and Southwestern Georgia, relative to the
condition of the cotton crop, and it is onr pain
ful duty to report a disastrous failure. This is
no sensational announcement, and is not based
npon doubtful information. The best sections
of this portion of the State cannot possibly
reach two-third3 of an average crop, while the
poorer sections will scarcely exceed one-third.
The acreage of thelatter being much the largest,
the plain deduction is that a half crop will not
be realized. Before the recent storms and con
tinued rains, the better lands promised a good
yield, but not a full crop. Now the rust is
making fearful ravages, and the caterpillar is
spreading with destructive rapidity. We have
direct intelligence from nearly all the large
plantations in the Oakwoods belt, and the con
current testimony dicloses disaster everywhere.
Fatal Accident.—By a note received from
Messrs. Mallory & Welch, lessees of Willing
ham’s mill, in this connty, we learn that on
Monday last a fatal aocident occurred to Mr. F.
M. Wilkinson, one of their employees. It
seems that Mr. W. was attempting to repair
the feed belt of the mill by passing his leg
through it, and before taking his leg out, called
to the fireman to “go ahead,” which he did, and
the belt ceoght his leg, winding him around the
shaft, tearing off the leg below the knee, and
then tearing out the thigh at the hip. He died
in about five minutes after becoming extricated.
Deceased was from Twiggs county.
The Dawson Journal tells this story:
Tubnino the Scales.—An aged freedman in
our community having saved enough of his
earnings to send his boy to school until he could
spell words of threo syllables, concluded that he,
the father, was not too old to go to school, and
consequently, made a teacher of his boy, the
father being tho only pupil. Having advanced
from A to AB, he was then given a lesson in
cat, rat, dog, eto. The father unaware of the
line of discipline his son intended to pursue,
was rather careless about perfect lessons, and
to his surprise, on reciting a lesson after sup
per, being SBked to spell dog, he responded
d-o-r-g! the son feathered in on him with a well
seasoned hickory. On being interrogated as to
that manner proceeding the boy replied, “that’s
the way onr teacher does ns and if you go to
school to me you may expect to get flogged if
you don’t have perfect lessons." This school
was closed without an examination or publio
demonstration of any kind, and we have not
Heard whether or not there will be a fall session
The La Grange Methodist church is having a
religous revival.
Mr. Thos. B. Greenwood, for forty years a
citizen of La Grange, died on the 24th nit.
A little child of Mr. Dan Brogan’s, of Atlan

Mrs. Bass, a daughter of Gov. Babun—one
of Georgia's old time chief magistrates—died
at Atlanta, on Friday, aged eighty years.
There was a rumor in Atlanta, Friday, that
Bullock had gone to California, to engage the
services of Ah Sin, to help him straighten out
the State road books, we suppose.
The Atlanta Era puts down the pupulation of
that place at 32,900—the usual number of neigh
boring railroad towns included, of course.

Nays He Didn’t.
The edilor of tho Albany Nows says he didn’t
“spout” r.nd “gas” about the “new departure”
when called upon for a speech at the Choice
House, in Borne, during the late meeting of the
State Agricultural Society, in manner and form
as charged by the Cuthbert Appeal, on the au
thority of “a Borne letter writer:” and which
charge, with some additional very sensible
comments on the general policy of such nota
tions, we copied into our “Georgia Press” col
umn some days since. He says he spoke after
instead of bejore General Young—the italics
are his—and in substance as follows:
We made two points, and spoke about four
minutes. First, that we were on a “new de
parture” in agriculture, and urged the policy of
raising our own supplies, thereby forcing the
West and Northwest to fight onr political battles
with New England. When we ceased to be a
market for western provisions, the West would
begin to f6el the burthens of the Government,
and become our allies.
After elaborating this id«a, we alluded to the
political “departure,” characterized it as a dan
gerous heresy, and advised the people to have
nothing to do with it—that it was headed in
Georgia by Dr. Bard, Ben Hill and the Consti
tution, (we had just read that paper’s article
embracing the debauchery, and supposed it
meant to fight it out on that line,) and meant
mischief to the Democratic party. We coun
selled silence for harmony, and masterly inac
tivity as the surest means of preserving our
strength for the contest of 1872. And especially
did we admonish all true men to esch6w politics
for the present, to stay at home, keep quiet and
make successful planting solve the problem of
our national troubles.
All of which strikes u^ as antagonizing the
very advice he was giving others abont “silence
for harmony.” Every man will determine that
point for himself, however, and here we dismiss
tho subject.
Plotting Against Gbant.—The Savannah
Advertiser, of Friday, prints the following high
ly sensational special from Washington. It is
dated Thursday, 31st ult.:
Senators Sumner and Fenton, John A. Logan,
Governor Garey, Governor Bullock and others,
met at Auburn, New York, last night, for the
purpose of considering a plan of opposition to
the renomination of Grant. It is reported that
parties have been in correspondence with ex-
Secretary Seward, and propose to support him
as their candidate in 1872. Itis said that Seward
will accept.
Considering the strength some of these par
ties—Bullock for instance—can give to suoh a
combination, Grant must certainly bo shaking
in his shoes at the prospect.
