three wiiunni of bales, for the cotton crop o
1871, we do not know.
Tbs Cottos Bschtts or Bona for the year
ending August 31st, were 83,327 bales. On hand,
Friday evening, September 1,562 bales. The
Times says of the fortunes of that lively city:
Signs of improvement in Belma are visible In

Tsias Bssr is Fmuanrsu.—Flc says the
steamship Firefly took from Rockport, Texas,
to Philadelphia 170.000 pounds of fresh beef,
the produet of 220 due steers, killed August 1st
and at onee placed into the hold of the vessel,
which had beon made into a vast refrigerator.
Nine days afterwards the citizens of Philadel
phia, fifteen hundred milea otT, ate the beef as
fresh and sweet as the day it started.
Tub Ocxaa Wave EirtosioB.—The Govern,
ment has ordered a striot investigation into the
Ooean Wave explosion near Mobile. Boiler In

“Presbyterian billiards."
Cnxav transportation is not always the con
trolling consideration in oommeroe. When the
Pedflo railway was completed we predioted that
a large East India trade wonid pass over it, bnt
that idea was considered chimerical. East Sat
urday, the steamer Alaska brought to Son Fran-
clsoo 54,665 packages ot tea—the largest cargo
ever brought to an American port. She is also
followed by a British steamer with 1200 tons of
tea, and several other vessels, all chartered at
Shanghai for the same destination—indicating
that the oonrso of the tea trade la likely to meet
with an ontlre change.
Tux Damns Nxoaois.—The Herald groans-
over tho pranks of Tonis G. Campbell and the
rampant Darien negroes, and calls upon Fish
and the administration to put them down. The
British Consul at Savannah has addressed the
Government upon the subject.
Floizda Oauraa Caor.—The Agricultural Bu
reau la advised that the Florida orange crop re
ceived immense damage from the late storm.
More than three-fonrths of the crop is on the
ground, and much damage has been done to the
groves.

Tux anti-Tammany corruptionists have started
oot substantially to organize a Protestant party
against Tammany and its Irish supporters. They
make their eppoel in circulars which take up
two oolumna of Sunday's Herald, to the Protes
tant clergy of the State of New York, and to
tho members of the Protestant churches, which
they say embrace £00,000 votes, or more than
flvo-ninths of all the votes in the State, “in the
confidant expectation that from this mass of
God-fearing and philanthropes men, enough can
be detaohed from other relations and obliga
tions nnfriendly to this movement, to st least
bold the balancing power between the rival po
litical parties." It the’brethren want an illus
tration of what these vaunted “God and mor-
aUty" parties can do in the way of establishing
ptiro and honest administrations let them come
down this tide of the Potomac river nnd behold
the universal triumph of rampant frand and cor
ruption. established In the South through their
direct agency.
A Good Nowdutiox'. —The Democratic Sena
torial Convention of the district composed of
the oonnties of Pulaski, Wilcox, Dooly and
Dodge, has nominated Colonel Chss. O. Kibbee,
of HawMnsviUe, as the candidate to fiU the cn-
expired term of the late Senator (Traywick),
who has moved out of the district We are glad
to aee this nomination. It is one emphatically
fit to be made, and will be foUowed by an over
whelming endorsement at the ballot-box. We
have known Colonel E. for many years, and
have never known anything that was not good
of him. He Is a square man—young, able, en
ergetic and wlU not only see his dnty clearly,
bnt do it thoronghly. We hope to record bis
election by a sounding majority, and we feel
confident snob will be the result
Axotheb Pictcsx.—Gen. Thos. Ewing, of
Ohio, said of Gen. Grant, in his recent speech
at Colombna:
“He is both Ignorant and careless of tha du
ties and obligations of his high offioe; has
probably never read tha OonstituUon, for it la
not published In the Army Regulations or the
Stud Book; is bold, unscrupulous, ambitions,
selfish, and as oold as a bayonet If he don't
nso that law next year with that purpose and
it will b# because tho Northern people
show a returning sense of the value of constitu
tional liberty, or beoaaae the Ku-klnx and car-
pat-baggers combined ean't concoct sufficiently
plausible pretexts, or because Horace Greeley
beats him for the nomination. Let ns hope,
for the honor of the country, that all these
contingencies will happen."
DnmucT Comia.—A majority of the Su
premo Court—Messrs. MoOey and Lochrane—
decided on Tuesday, in the esse of Michael
Goraly vs. J. H. Taylor, from Randolph, that
these institutions had been established accord
ing to law, and were- therefore constitutional.
Judge Warner dissented. We will publish a
synopsis of the decision to-morrow or next
day. If we know anything of the views and
intentions of the next General Assembly of
Georgia, it will sorely sustain the position of
the dissenting Judge.
Atlanta Ooxstitctioh.—We caU special at
tention, this morning, to the announcement of
this capital newspaper, to be found In another
column. The Constitution, under tha vigorous
handling of ID. edltor-in-chle/, CoL Avery, and
his able coadjutors, ha, made u.. lt „

A <{ii<-slion of Jliijorlly.
That tha Democrats of this Senatorial Dis
trict will eiset Col. Simmons next Wednesday,
we haTC not the shadow of a doubt—provided,
of oonrse, they vote their foU strength, and
work aa they ought.
But bis bare election is not enough, and will
not satisfy na. Neither ought it to satisfy the
party. Now is the tithe to redeem the District
beyond possibility of lapse. Now is the oeoa-
sion to fix Its status for all time to oome, so that,
hereafter, it may be counted on for the Dem
ocracy as surely as any other in the State. This
can be done by honest, hard work, and it must
be done. That's the very word for the ease.
Now let onr friends In this, Monroe, and Pike
oonnties make CoL 8.*s majority f/te question.
To doubt his mere election wonid be an insult
to every true man In the District, bnt withont a
full poll, and an active, stirring though not
necessarily noisy canvass, his majority may not
bs as decided as It should be. Let ns have a
strong puU and a poll altogether, and the Dis
trict is oars for good and aU.
A Terrible Ntoriu.
We write (Wednesday evening; in the midst
of a southeaster of great severity and a promise
of still greater force. The wind has been blow
ing from that quarter with torrents of rain from
12 o’clock, midnight, of Tuesday; but with no
great force, until 1 r. «. to-day, (Wednesday,)
when it began those fitfnl and fnrioos gusts so
characteristic of tho hurricane. As day declines
the gale appears to Increase in force and drives
the heavy rain before it, In smoky spray. Be
yond a doubt, the storm is doing great damage
to the exposed crops. A good deal of cotton la
now laid bare to Its force by reason of the pre
vious drouth which has forced the bolls into
premature and sickly development The rice
crop, too, is probably caught, (what there is left
of it,) in a very critical and exposed condition.
We fear the storm Is very severe on the ooast;
bnt whatever becomes of it, either there or here,
moat bo told at a later period. It Is to be noted
that the weather bureau failed to anticipate this
gale. They predict “easterly winds on the At
lantic ooast," bnt they were looking for no such
gale as this.
Xatlonnl Exchequer Hank.
A leading gontleman of the city hands na a
circular of fifteen pages from Daniel N. London,
of New York, developing the scheme of a Na
tional Bank, and a blU for that purpose to be
laid before Congress Incorporating “ The Gov
ernor and Managers of the Exchequer of the
United States of America.” The bill provides
for a bank of one hundred millions capital—to
be raised in three-fourths legal tender and one-
fourth ooin. The bonk is divided Into two de
partments, one for banking, including discounts
and exchange business, and the other the issue
department—the latter issuing notes to the
banking department on the delivery of ooin and
United States bonds to an equal amount, until
the Issues reach two hundred millions; and for
all issues thereafter, up to four hundred mil.
lisps, one dollar In coin to two in bonds, till the
sum reaches six hundred millions; and thereaf
ter one doUar In coin for each dollar in notes
issued. The bill also regulates the rate of dis
count, which is not to exoeed one-half of one
per cent, for thirty days.
We have no space to speak of tho oxtended
argument in defence of the bUl which prefaces
It in the circular. Mr. London brings a heavy
indleiment against the National Banking sys
tem, which he maintain), with a strong show of
reason, is crippling the business and financial
energies of the oonntry to a most disastrous ex
tent, and If adhered to, will prostrate it at the
feet of European capitalists, while it will enrich
only tho so-called National Banks.
How (o Flank An t’gly Day.
Wo may have experienced more disagreeable
days than yesterday, bnt if so, the letter’s su
preme and unparalleled ugliness has driven the
reooUection entirely from onr memory. From
early mom tlU dewy eve—and it wan dewy, in
deed—rain fell In torrents, and the wind seemed
as if endeavoring to rival It In violence. Going
to dinner was absolutely an absurdity even In
contemplation, so we made a descent upon Don
Carlos at the Ella old stand on Hnlbeny street.
To say that flier* we defied the elements and
laughed oold water Jove to soorn, but faintly
expresses the nnction of the oomforts the Don
set forth for onr stomaehlo consolation. And,
oonfldentiaUy, his wine Is as good as his “wit-
ties,” and both have few equals, and no supe
riors In this latitude, at least. Wo entered that
restaurant as mad as Tnrner was at that Mon
roe camp mooting where the fried chicken was
non at. We quitted it with a sigh ot regret
th/d it was not always after dinner, and as pla
cid as Tomer was when the hat hod been passed
around, and the money divided. When Don
Carlos runs for offioe set ns down aa a repeater.
Cottos Tanias.—We have copied to-a»j
our fourth page, at the request of some of our
mercantile readers, somk valuable cotton tables,
from the last Commercial and Agricultural
Bulletin, copied by Messrs. Saulsbnry, Respees
4 Co., ootton factors of the city. We see they
estimate the last crop at 4,467,461 bales. The
previous crop la given at 3,034,749 bales, bnt
they also present tho Commercial and Financial
Chronicles’ figures, which make the crop of
1870 3.154.947.

Knrrow Gauge.
The Montgomery Advertiser of 8unday says a
letter to one of the leading wholesale merchants
of that city from Mr. E. M. Grant, ot Macon,
Go., submits the foUowlng sound and sensible
views on the subject of narrow gangs railroads.
The writer saya:
These roads should be bnllt from the principal
cities, radiating like tho spokes of a wheel and
penetrating all the rich valleys, or prairies In
every direction not already traversed by the
main “ trunk lines.” Montgomery Is provided
already with all the necessary “ trunk lines.”
She has outlets. North, South, East and West,
bnt these main lines all run to rival cities, and
henoe the accruing trade la divided between the
two termini. Now these narrow gange roads
should penetrate all the de6imblo sections and
have Montgomery for one terminus and the
oountry for another; then Montgomery wonid
have a monopoly of the trade that la now per
haps carried on by wagons with Wetumpka,
Greenville, Union Springs, Troy, etc., the ten
dency of trade being to oonoentrate in the large
commercial centres, people entertaining the
idea that tho larger the plaoe the better faclli
ties for trading advantageously.
As a general thing the riohertbe soU the more
impassible the wagon roads become in the sea
son when cotton hanlicg is carried on—henoe
planters are compelled to haul their ootton
early in the antnmn before the roads become
bad, and either sell it at the low prices which
generaUy rule then or pay heavy charges for
storage if they retain it nnsold. Hence those
narrow gange roads will be of great advantage
to the planter in disposing of his crops as weU
as In giving him ready communication with the
outside world.
If people would only stop and think the mat
ter over a little there shonld be no difficulty in
soelng where there true interests lie.
Colton Growing tn California.
The San Francisoo Examiner chronicles the
progress of ootton growing in California as fol
lows :
This, with probably one exception, the driest
year California has witnessed since 1843. a field
of one hundred acres of ootton has.been grown
by CoL J. M. Strong, of Merced, withont irriga
tion ; which so far exceeds the expectations of
the most sanguine friends of the enterprise, that
it is regarded a wonder, nnd is visited by many
from a distance who feel an interest in the plant
from association or from curiosity to see the re
markable snooess of the experiment This is
not Col. Strong's first effort in California. For
two years past he has cultivated small patches
of cotton with the greatest sneoees, and has
closely observed it in all stages or Us growth.
Being an experienced ootton planter he is capa
ble of noting the advantages shown here over
many of the cotton States; which are, first, that
it is entirely free from ravages of all insects,
boll worms, caterpillars and rusts; second, al
though tho plant assumes folly the average size,
the joints are closer, and there are more bolls to
each plant than in the Southern States; third,
the growth la more rapid in this climate, and
all of the bolls folly mature before frost; last
and most Important, the staple Is long and fine,
which is not injnred or stained by summer and
fall rains that prevail in the Southern Stales.
Samples of cotton grown in Meroed have been
classed strict middlings by ootton factors of
Memphis, New Orleans and Liverpool, which
commands the highest market price. So rapid
is the growth of ootton here, that in seven
weeks from planting blossoms appear, and in
ten weeks the plant is loaded with bolls; there
being frequently several handred to a single
plant. Experienced cotton planters who have
visited CoL Strong's plantation, on the Merced
river, have estimated the yield at 400 pounds
lint cotton per acre, worth at tho lowest calcula
tion $100; which will bo produced at an entire
cost of less than $23, which Is 100 per cent
more than the cost will bo another year.
Colonel StroDg is satisfied that ho can pro
duce ootton in California at a cost of eight cents
per pound; four cents less than It can, at pres-
ent, be produced in the Mississippi river
bottom This is owing almost entirely to our
climate, there being no summer rains, crab
grass, etc., that interfere with the growth of the
young plant. Samples of cotton from Co.onel
Strong s plantation are now on exhibition at tho
Mechanics' Institnto Fair, in San Francisco,
and will bo viewed with Interest by persons from
all parts of the world, and with pride by all true

Srw York Run's Irut Sensation—Grant
Will Decline a Rc-Komlnntlon.
We find the following Western press dispatch
in the Nashville Union and American, of Tues
day :
New Yobe, September 3.—Tha Sun’s Wash
ington correspondent says that a prominent gov
ernment official stated to-day that President
Grant, after carefully considering the situation,
had decided, at an early day, to annonnoe his
determination positively to decline a re-nomina
tion. This action, the correspondent says, was
not hurriedly taken, but that the President con
sulted with his best and moat trustworthy
friends. Tho political situation of the various
States was thoroughly canvassed, and in the
most important of them divisions were found
which were beyond healing. Furthermore, it
Is found that large combinations existed in the
various States for the purpose of sending donble
delegations to the National RcpnbUcan Conven
tion, which would necessarily distract the coun
cils of that important body, and create a bolt
ers’ Convention, with a second candidate, thus,
in all probability, throwing tha Presidency into
the hands of the Democracy.
fixing Come.—We are tempted to relate the
foUowing aneodoto which is too good to keep:
A few years sinoe daring a revival of religion
in one of onr interior chnrches, the pastor’s son,
a rollickaome giddy youth, was standing in tho
vestibule of tho sanctuary during the. time that
many anxious inquirers were crowding around
the altar within. It happened that a large ball
was on tha tapis for tho ensuing night, and one
of tbs gay companions of our young hero asked
him if he did not expect to attend.
Drawing himself np with a great deal of dig
nity, he replied: “No, sir. I had rather be a
door-keeper in the honse of my God than to
dweU in the tents of wickedness;”
It gives ns pleasure to mention that the young
seape grace has sown bis wild oats, married,
and bids fair to make a useful oitlzen.

Is tho summer of 1662 a merry party from
Naw Bedford, including two gentlemen who are
now distinguished residents of New York, met

in running water about three feet deep, bnt
made no effort for Its recovery, deeming it irre
trievably lost. In ths succeeding summer, Jnly
