News Items.
The Hubeioane at St. Thomas.—Tho late
storm swept over tho Danish Island of St.
Thomason the 21st n!L, about twenty-three
hours before it struck the Florida coast a little
below tho mouth of SL. Johns River. At St.
Thomas it raged with such fury that not a house
was left standing on the whole island, and 1 50
persons wore killed or seriously injured. St
Thomas is about seventeen miles long by four
and ono-half broad, with an area of about 43
square miles, and a population of 14,000 souls.
Bt. Kilts, a British island not far from Bh
Thomas, of a little larger area and population,
is said to have met with a similar fate, in the
samo storm.
The Health of Queen Victobia is said to be
very precarious. Her nervous system is much
shattered, and she left London for Balmoral in
pursuance of orders from tho Court Physicians.
Overland Cotton.—Tho Montgomery Adver
tiser says the first car-load of new cotton
shipped North this season was sent through to
Boston on tho “South and North through freight
lino” by those enterprising gentlemen, Messrs.
Shular & Hartwell, on Friday last. It will go
straight through to Norfolk without breakage of
bulk.
The same paper says the cotton bulls and
bears aro having a high old time. Tho bulls
believe cotton will bring a dollar a pound, and
the bears insist that all above a cent is thrown
away.
A Stbange, strango sight it is to see the New
York journals now teeming with whole pagos
of atrocious murders and other crimes, charging
upon the poor Houth as a land of violence and
blood.
The Tribnno cotton estimate is three quarters
of a million less than last year, and rather more
if frost holds off a month. This year the
shorts will all go up the spout.
Nobth Carolina Cabs.—The Wilmington
Journal say3 of two passenger coaches just
turned out for the Brunswick & Albany Road at
Wilmington, Delaware, that a similar car from
the shops of the Weldon & Wilmington Iload
stood beside them and beat them in- workman
ship and prioo.
Business m New Orleans.—The Picayune of
1st September cotains its nsual annual state
ment of tho business of the year. New Orleans
received last year 1,540,971 bales cotton, valued
at $101,000,000, en increase of 338,538 bales
ovor the previous season. Receipts of sugar
exhibit a very handsomo increase, and the to
bacco trade, though not as largo as at one time
hoped, shows some improvement; while the
trade in Western produce has not fallen off. Tho
total valno of tho products of the interior ro-
ceived during the year is $169,000,000, against
$200,820,000 last year. Tho average value of
cotton in New Orloanslast year was 141 cents
per pound.
New Obleans Cotton Exchange Repobt.—
Tho Now Orloans Exchango issued its report
for Soptember on the 1st inst. They say of Mis
sissippi that the reports average a falling off of
ono-half to three-quarters of last years’ crop
with n favorable season and a late fall. Cotton
picking is two to three weeks later. Boll worm
has caused serious injury in many of the coun
ties and the caterpillar is reported in eleven,
with no serious damage as yet Louisiana.—
Excessive rains in tho Southern, Southeastern
and Eastern parishes and drouth in the North
western. Condition of the crop fair. Picking
two to throo weeks lator. Decrease in acreage
18 to 20 per cent EUimato of yield per acre
ono-half to three-quarters as compared with
last year, with a favorable picking season and
no allowance of damage from worms. Cater,
pillar in fifteen parishes. Arkansas.—Condi
tion of crop generally good. Weather as good
as last year exoept in Whito, Chicot, Woodruff,
Drew, Ashley, Desha and Arkansas counties,
which have suffered from too much rain.
Picking generally ten to fifteen days later than
last year. Falling off in cotton acreage twen
ty to twenty-five per cent Estimated yield
per acre from three quarters to seven eights of
last year’s crop. Alabama.—Condition of crop
not good. Picking two to four weeks later—
exoept whero maturity has been precipitated by
drought. Decrease in acreage 21 percent. The
yield per acre, with a favorable fall, will be 70
per cent, as compared with last year. Geor
gia.—Picking from one to two weeks later. De
crease in aoreRge 18 per cent., and yield, as
compared with last year, 75 per cent. Texas.—
Long and continued drouth over nearly the
whole State. Crops greatly injured. Picking,
owing to drouth, earlier than last year. De
crease in acreage 30 per cout. Yiold, with fa
vorable season, one-half to five-eighths of last
year. Tennessee.—Reports meager, but favor
able in every reaped.
The receipts of new crop ootton to August
31st, compared with previous years, are as fol
lows: 1871, 22 bales; 1870, 109 bales; I860,
432 bales; 18GS, 476 bales.
Wreck of the Steamship Mississippi.—The
Picayune, of the 1st, contains a full report of
the wreck of the steamship Mississippi on the
Florida coast. She left New York on Saturday
evening, the 19th nlimot, and had pleasant
woather till Tuesday morning, when she en
countered the storm. But not till Thursday
noon did she enoonnter the hurricane in all its
strength, and by night it blew with such fury as
to stavo in all the cabin windows and pnt out
the lights. Planks nailed on were instantly
blown in. The pilot-house was blown away,
the engineers and firemen were forced from
their posts, and, in this situation, the ship
struck at 8 o’clock in the evening. Then fol
lowed a night of extraordinary terror—the ship
thumping violently and thrown upon her beam
ends. By morniDg the gale abated, and the
ship wa3 found to be iu a cable's length of the
Hillsborough Inlet about forty-three miles south
of Jupiter. The passengers were put ashore
by what is called a boatswain’s chair traversing
a cable which had been stretched to land. Tents
were pitched and they passed the night, and
were taken off next day by the steamship Cortes,
Captain Whitman, bound for New ^Orleans,
with the loss of all their baggage, but of not a
single life.
The N. A. 0. C. L A. W., otherwise the Grand
Panjandrum of the American Communists, as
the antidote to the “deadly poison of the sub
sidized American press,” will send to all appli
cants “tho complete vindication of the Paris
Commune, as issued by the General Council of
tho I. A- W. The brethren are exhorted to ap
ply for the pamphlet, ana learn what a delight
ful thiDg it is to murder and bum.
Butler, in bis Springfield speech, gives a very
vivid idea of hi3 utter want of manliness and
principle in the following:
My enemies tell yon that at the Charleston
Convention I voted fifty-seven times for Jeff
Deris for President. I did—to preserve the
Union. They tell you that every lime, but they
don’t tell you that The boat I came away from
Charleston on had on board a fugitive slave.
Always a mean, sueakiug rascal.
The Whitehouie and Chenet Contboveest.
—A Chicago dispatch of Friday says there will
be no confirmation in Christ Church till Bishop
WhitehouBe requests Mr. Cheney to present
the candidates, which he will probably not do.
It shonld be understood that tho action of Mr.
Cheney from the first has had the cordial sup
port of bis wardens and vestrymen. At the
meeting of the vestry last night, Mr. Cheney
offered bis resignation for the fifth time, but it
was unanimously rejected.
The Tribune is out with campaign paper
propositions, and is going to secure a rousing
Radical trinmph this Fall on the strength of
Tammany Frauds.
Cotton Figures and tlie Mew Crop.
The reports up to Friday show gross receipts
closing tho cotton year, of 4,009,502 bales,
against 2,907,909 at the same time last year.
Now the crop produced in 1809, according to
Hunt’s year book, was 3.154,94G bales—from
which deduot 2,907,909, the current report at
the end of that year, and we have a balance of
247,034 bales, which was added to it Now,
from the general talk among cotton men, we
shonld infer that there wonld be an excess over
this amount the present year of about 75 per
cent But let us add fifty per cent—say 123,-
578=370,015 bales to the 4,009,502, and we
should make the crop of 1870, 4,380,117 bales.
Probably it will not much overgo that amount.
This would show an excess over the crop of
18G9 amounting to 1,225,171 bales; but the ac
tual increase in visible snpply, as shown last
week, was only 289,000 bales—showing that
nearly a million bales have been disposed of
in the way of increased consumption or in ac
cumulated stocks of manufacturers—no doubt
in both. The stocks as reported last Friday
compare with last year as follows:
1871 1870
Stock at all ports 90,040 64.355
Stock in interior 10,72G 14,628
Stock in Liverpool 561,000 494,000
Afloat—American cotton. 07,000 26,000
Afloat—India cotton 647,972 493,448
1,376,738 1,092,431
Showing a general Btock excess this year of
284,307 bales, against an increase of 1,225,171
bales in tbe American crop.
And now, concerning the incoming crop of
1871, we ipvite attention to the New Orleans
Exchange Report, dated September 1st, and
which may bo found in full in tho Picayune of
that date. We have given some of the figures
from this report elsewhere. They contain esti
mates from the six main cotton States, which,
consolidated, would show this result, allowing
that we have a good picking season and the
crop is not damaged by worms: Nett diminu
tion in cotton acreage from last year, 18] per
cent. Nett falling off in product per acre—a
little over 28 per cent.—say in both 46 per cent,
inevitable falling off from last year in the six
principal ootton States, with a propitious fall
season, and with no damage to tbe crop from
insects. The cotton crops proper of the Caro-
Iinos and Florida will not amount to 400,000
bales, or say one-eleventh of the total yield of
last year, and the nett decrease on tbe whole
crop shown by these estimates of the New Or
leans Board would be abont 42 per cent, or say,
in round numbers, 1,800,000 bales, which would
show a crop of 2,500,000 to 2,GOO,000 for 1871.
Our ideas run that way, too; but we shall see
what wo shall behold.
IVliat Senator Tkarnian Did Say.
It having been reported by telegraph that in a
late speech this gentleman had planted himself
on the “Bourbon” platform with respect to the
position the National Democratie party should
occupy towards what are known as the 14lh and
15th amendments to the Federal Constitution,
ho has furnished the editor of the Columbus (O.)
Statesman with a revised copy of his speech,
showing exactly what he did say, and here it is .
Now, my friends, it has been common for tbe
Republican party of this conntry to say that the
Democrats have taken a new departure, and
that new departure, they allege, consists in say
ing that we have been wrong and the Republi
cans have been right. I say there has never
been any such confession as that. We are as
much opposed to what has done as when we
gave onr votes against it. Why, if I shonld see
a man strike another in an unlawful and brutal
manner, in the street, throttle him and knock
him down, and trespass upon his rights, and I
shonld see Jiis wounds and bruises, and see him
bleeding, I shonld be compelled to say that he
was down and bleeding, but who would call that
a confession that the villain wbo had outraged
him had done what was proper ? [Laughter.]
So when these men throttled the Constitution
and ruined the peace of tho conntry—when they
made the South almost as ruinous as in the
midst of war—we remonstrated and opposed
them; and now, because we cannot deny that
they have done it, because wo cannot deny that
tbe thing has been accomplished, because we
are compelled to admit the fact that the recon
struction laws have been executed and that the
amendments to the Constitution have been fas
tened upon ns, we are told, forsooth, that we
admit that the Radicals were right and we were
wrong. That’s logic for you.
If we understand the red hot theory it is,
that these amendments have not been fastened
upon us, and that all we have to do to get rid
of them is to shrug our shoulders a few times
and off they will roll; or if that fails, to just
make affidavit that they are not, and have never
been there nt all!
A Rival Road from Atlanta —According to
“Minority.” who is a very well informed gen
tleman, and one who knows what is going on in
this connection, the contracts have all been
signed, sealed and delivered for a railway from
Atlanta to Macon via Monticello, in Jasper
county, (and we hope they will take Clinton, in
Jones, on their route, and give that fertile county
a showing which it has never had.) This is all
news to ns; bnt as we said before, onr corres
pondent is a man who knows precisely what he
is talking abont and wonld mislead nobody in
tho world. Onr correspondent wants to know
which of the parties has the game in this con
troversy ? We reokon it will turn out pretty
much like all other fights. As far as Monticello
the ronte will be in the line of the North Geor
gia Road, and all parties agree that that ought
to be a paying road any how. The communi
cation of “Minority” will bo found elsewhere in
this paper.
The Yellow Fever at Charleston.—Tho
Charleston News, of Saturday, says: “The fever
seems to be on the wane, and has evidently
been affected by the weather whioh we have ex
perienced. But one death was reported yester
day. Several persons who were rumored to be
ill of the malady are doing well—indeed con
valescent. The official report of the Board of
Health shows bnt twenty-seven deaths since the
25th of July, when the fever began. Out of
these twenty-seven cases it will be seen that
two of them were not sufficiently marked in type
to be really classed with the others. As the
Board purposes publishing hereafter daily re
ports of the deaths that may occur, the pnblio
mind will see the real state of affairs, and feel
more at ease on the subject. The report of the
City Registrar is correct beyond all shadow of
doubt, because no hearse-driver is allowed by
law to remove a body nntil he has the doctor’s
certificate, nor can a sexton inter without a
similar document.”
Bonaparte and ’Webster.—On the 15th Sep
tember Jerome Bonaparte, of Baltimore, will be
married to Mrs. Edgar, of New Orleans, grand
daughter of Daniel Webster. The bride-elect
is the mother of three lovely children, and is a
beautiful blonde of very youthful appearance.
The groom is a handsome bachelor of 40—more
or less—and a grand nephew of Napoleon I.
The wedding will be strictly private, and take
place at the residence of a Catholic priest of
Newport. The wedding dress is already com
pleted, and is a traveling costume of dark gray
silk, with overdress of same color. Both parties
represent immense wealth, Jerome Bonaparte
being grandson and heir-prospective of Madame
Patterson Bonaparte, of Baltimore, Md.

The Sun says many Florida and Southwest
Georgia merchants have engaged stores in Co

An operative in the Eagle and Phenix factory
at Columbus named Thompson lost an arm,

We are glad to see that Mr. Stephens, in the
Atlanta Sun, denies that he is the author of the
“Lost Cause” circular, and that he repudiates
its doctrines and denounces it as a Radical trick
Dahlonega bases its claims to the Agricultural
College upon a peach weighing half a pound and

Randall, our ex-brother of the Augusta Con

a gainer by 20 pounds, and drawing well on to

William Taylor, of Randolph county, is in
deep distress, owing to a decided failure he
made in attempting to join the noble army of
carpet-baggers. He was caught with the c. b.

The Athens Banner is telling tales out of
schotfl. It says:
On Wads.—The LaGrange Reporter calls the
“new departure” Democrats “slack vads."
We saw the editor once when he was a very
tight wad!
The Savannah matrimonial market is dull and
declining. Only 13 whites and 28 negroes
doubled themselves last-month.
The Atlanta Era says the trial of the pious
bnt thrifty Hotchkiss, on the charge of cheating
and swindling the State, has been postponed to
Ootober 6th. There are eight counties in the
indictment. Probably he will wish he had stuck
to preaching before he gets through his troubles.
Mr. Thomas Crawford, a well known mer
chant of Athens, died last Wednesday, of con
sumption.
The Ordinary of Muscogee county has or
dered an assessment of 75 per cent, upon the
State tax for county purposes, which is a de
cided reduction npon last year’s assessment.
We clip the following items from the last Sa
vannah News:
Effects of the Late Storm.—The effects of
the reoent cyclone are Btill being felt on the rail
roads running through the lower part of the
State. Among the disasters not previously re
ported are two extensive washes on tho Bruns
wick and Albany Railroad, between Brunswiok
and Tebeauville. Large bodies of laborers are
engaged on the breaks day and night, and the
utmost energy is displayed, but the disasters are
of such a nature that the road will not prob
ably be in running order before Tuesday—if
then.
There is still a serious wash on the Gulf Road
at Suwanee river bridge. The river is fifty-
seven feet deep under the bridge—being thirty-
sevenfeet above low-water mark, and still rising.
Superintendent Haines,with a large construction
gang, is at this point, and pile-driving machines
have been ordered to tbe scene of tho trouble.
Considerable trestle-work will have to be built,
and, as the water is still rising it is impossible
to say when the repairs will be finally com
pleted. Several days will probably elapse, how
ever, beforothe road is restored to the condition
in which the storm found it. The telegraph
lines throughout Georgia and Florida are in good
working order. The Atlantio and Gulf Railroad
is carrying passengers through by making trans
fers at the “washes.”
Yellow Fever at Beaufort.—Wo were in
formed last evening npon very reliable authori
ty, that the yellow fever has broken out at
Beaufort, and that it has assumed an epidemic
form. The report may be exaggerated, but
that the disease exists there does not seem to
admit of a doubt. In this state of things, it
might bo well for onr city authorities to look
after a quarantine in that direction.
Charleston Trains not Allowed to Ester
Savannah.—Mayor Screven has notified the Sa
vannah and Charleston Railroad that hereafter
no cars will be allowed to run through from
Charleston to this city. All trains from that
place for Savannah will be met by trains from
here at Yamassee station (midway,) and no per
sons, cars, mails or articles of any kind will be
allowed to come through.
It is not known as yet whether the railroad
authorities will accept this proposition of the
Mayor, bnt if they do not. however, all commu
nication between the two cities will be cut off
entirely.
The impecunious man and brother, at Au
gusta. has been reduced to the necessity of de
veloping soda fountains for a living. He sells
it as old metal to the junk shops.
The Chronicle and Sentinel, of Sunday, says:
The Pennsylvania Central.—The Columbia
Phoenix, of yesterday, says: We learn that the
Citizens’ Savings Bank has sold the stock held
by that institution in the Charlotte, Columbia
and Augusta Railroad. It was a large lot,
amounting to nearly 1,200 shares. This seems
significant, as, we believe, Colonel Palmer i3 a
Director in the railroad. Rumor has it that,
with this purchase, the Pennsylvania Central—
or other parties, “whom deponent knoweth
not," hold possession of nearly 10 000 shares—
almost a controlling interest in the Company.
A meeting of the corporators of the Americus
and Hawkinsville railway was held at Americus
last Saturday, and organized by electing Mr-
John H. Woodward, of Dooly conuty, Presi
dent, and Messrs. A. S. Cutts, A. J. Lane, G.
H. Hazlehurst, Sheppard Rogers, John H.
Woodward, John A. Cobb, and U B. Harrold,
as a board of directors.
Mr. Fred. J. Clark, of Savannah, was killed
Satnrday afternoon, by bis hone stumbling and
throwing him into a ditch, and then falling npon
him. His back was broken.
We quote as follows from the Atlanta Sun, of
yesterday:
Bloody Affair in Decatur.—About six o’clock
on Saturday evening, a man by the name of
Sizemore, a shoe-maker by trade, and another
man named Thrasher, a former Sheriff of Do-
Kalb county, had an altercation in whioh Size
more was stabbed so severely that his life is
dispaired of. After he was ant he seized a stick
and struck Thrasher a severe blow over the head,
iuflioting an ugly wound. Thrasher has left,
and onr informant states that Sizemore’s attend
ing physician says there is no hopes of his re
covery.
Both gentlemen were citizens of Decatur, and
near neighbors, and the wives of each witnessed
the affray. They both fainted at tha bloody
scene, and the excitement created was terrible
for that unusually quiet village.
We learn that a man named Fawcet was run
over near Stegall’s Station on the State Road on
Saturday night, and his head literally severed
from his body by the cars. He was intoxicated,
and two bottles of whisky were found near his
person. It is supposed that he had laid down
on the track and gone to sleep.
Stegall's Station is just above this city, in
Cobb county.
The Covingion Enterprise, of Saturday, says:
Attempted Assassination.—On the night of
August 18tb, as William Parker and Henry
Banks were sitting with some other company
in a still house, in Jasper county, where they
were engaged in distilling peaches, they were
shot by some one bidden in tbe darkness, the
principal portion of the charge taking effect on
the leg and side cf Parker, and a few shot
striking Banks on the head and face.
Mr. William S. Floyd, son of Jadge J. J.
Floyd, of Covington, accidentally shot himself
through the hand one day last week, inflicting
a severe wound.
Dr. F. M. Cheney, of Covington, was thrown
from a buggy last Monday and had his left arm
broken near the wrist.
