Telegraph & Messenger. SUNDAY MORNING* SEPT. 3, 1871. Democratic Candidate for ftenator 22*1 District) THOS. J. SIMMONS, of bibb cochtv. Election Wednesday, 13th September. News Items. Goal, at the Scranton sales in Now York on Wednesday, ranged from $4.00 to $5.60. Sales omonnted to 140,000 tons. 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 hibited to the Macon public. Mr. Wise, having 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? Pzbsonab.—Bov. Dr. H. H. Tucker, late President of Mercer University, and family, sailed from New York for Liverpool, last Wednesday, on the Cunard steamer Russia. O. A. Nutting, Esq., of this city, was regis tered at tho Sherman House, Chicago, on Tues day, the 29 th nit. Cbops in Mabion Countt.—A correspondent at Buena Vista, under data of August 30th, writes as follows: “A severe gale passed over this section last Friday, doing considerable damage. The crops are miserably poor, and a half crop is all that can possibly be made.” the ueobgia eress. Mr. William Howard died at Gainesville, Hall connty, last Sunday, aged 91 years. That connty seems to have the age on most others. The Columbus Sun, of Friday, says Eobert Clopton, aged fifteen, and son of Hon. David Clopton, of Montgomery, died vory suddenly of a congestive chill at Bobinson Springs, last Wednesday. He was sick only two hours. A crazy negro was run over and killed by a train on the Atlantic and Gulf Bailroad, at sta tion 17, on Tuesday night He was lying on the track asleep. 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. Fort Valley, Marshallville, Butler, Knoxville, and Perry will have a grand fair at the former place in October. Six thousand dollars have been raised to erect buildings and put the grounds in order. A lad named Meyer, aged fourteen years, dropped dead in an Augusta bar-room where ho was employed, Thursday night. Columbus has a cotton seed oil factory which will soon be in full blast. Six hydraulio presses and a cotton seed huller are among the ma chinery. The annual cotton statement of August shows tho following figures : Beceipts for September 1, 1870, to August 31, 1871, inclusive, 188,705 bales. Beceipts from same date, 18G9, to same date, 1870, 122,779 bales—difference in favor 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 ta, fell into a tnb of water on Friday, and was drowned. An Atlanta shoe-maker invites custom with this sign: “Botts and shoos mad hear—ladies and shentelmens repaired. Kum in hear.” The champion talker lives at Newnan. One of his female friends says he can “talk the in sides out of a green gourd, without cutting a hole in it” 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. Macon, Ga., September 1, 187L Editors Telegraph, and Messenger: The mean heat the past month was, at 8 o’clock a. x., 80 degrees : S P. M. SG 5-10 ; 6 P. M. 84. The fall of rain during the same time amounted 5 52-100 inches. Very respectfully, J. M. Boabdman. Sale of Houses.—The public will reoollect the auction sale of houses by Messrs. Turpin & Ogden, to-morrow (Monday) morning at 10 o'clock. The sale will take place on the prem ises. See advertisement. 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. FUNERAL NOTICE.
