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 cverv direction, and on every street. r»ow house* are going up, old ones are being renova ted, and mechanics have as much as they can do. RxisTmo Nsw Parsns.—Mr. Eraatu-. Brooks, of the New York Expteas, says his paner Is not sagaggsssiSf.iS millions of dollar*. 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 spector J. A. Moffet, of the New Orleans Dis trict, will preside over the Bosrd of Investiga- lion. Csoquxt.—The latest name given to croquet Is “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. Esjoisixq tux Oobtobatiox or New Yobk. Yesterday, application was mads before Judge Barnard, of the Supreme Court of New York, for an injunction to restrain them from admin. iStering the government or alienating any of their real property. This will bring up thorough sifting ot the trend allegations. Tux Wllktsbarro coal mines sunes sunk 200 feet over an area of six milea. 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 „ the land, and obtained a wiae and patronage. Persons who 1 “d popularity taking a paper publiahed at State couMnotha^ahetu^u^! 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. A Wl- onmn lover wrote his sweetheart: “ There is not a globule of blood in my heart that does not bear your photograph.’ 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 Till! GEORGIA l'KHSS. Tbs Grand Jury of Baldwin county found a tine bill for murder against John R. Strother, at ita late session. Strother, it will be remem bered, murdered Captain Lewis H.

He deposited her In a church for safe keeping while ho hunted for a license. On his return die hod been so mixed in the black clonld around that he oould not find the dark maiden. He was in a peek of trouble—$1 60 out, and no wife. The Nouth axd South Rood.—President Mo- Dougaldhas returned from Romo. He reports the survey as having commenced from that quar ter and that the oontraot for twonty miles will be awarded by the first of October. CoL Pen nington, of Rome, has charge of the surveying party. At this end of the line the work is etiU being pushed forward with vigor. The grading on the second ten miles (the first ten being well nigh completed) will be commenced in a few days. The Eatonton Press and Messenger learns that the sheriff of Wilkinson county and his negro mistress wero taken from the house of the former, lost Friday night, and drowned in a neighboring creek. We received an anony mons communication a day or two since to the same effect, but, aa is our custom, paid no at tention to it. Mr. D. S. E. Habersham, one of the most prominent citizens of Putnam oounty, died last Tuesday night. We find the foUowing in the Eatonton Press and Messenger, of Tuesday: Aooidiwib.—Wo learn that Mrs. Duke Sey mour, of this oounty, was thrown from a buggy and killed, while on her way home from Madi son, last Saturday. We also hear it reported that a negro man was thrown from a horse and killed on Sunday last, in the upper portion of this county. Mr. J. R. Bagley, a J. P. of this county, shot and killed a negro man near Dennis Station yes- terday. The negro was nnder arrest, and try. ing to escape, was shot and instantly killed.

The Roark corner, 110 feet on WbitehaU and .35 feet on MitcheU street, Atlanta, was sold for $18,200, cash, on Tuesday. The Era, of yesterday, says: v Fbaoas at West End.—We learn that quite a lively little fight occurred at West End on Mon day night between Mr. John Archer (late City Marshal) and a Mr. Clark. It appears that owing to some political disputation between the par ties, Mr. Clark knocked Mr. Archer down with a chair, whereupon Mr. Archer throw a heavy weight at Mr. Clark, striking him on the shoulder and head. No serious damage to either party was done. The G. T.’s are scooping In tho noble Roman soakers by tha wholesale. They captnredten, Monday night.

Akothjcb one of the prisoners, a negro, who broke jail not long since in this place, has been re-captured. Only two of the seven who escaped, are now at largo. 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 at Fotomska, nine miles below that place. While dipping water from the spring, one of them dropped a valuable diamond from his shirt ruffle in running water about three feet deep, bnt made no effort for Its recovery, deeming it irre trievably lost. In ths succeeding summer, Jnly 4, 1863, a party of nearly the same persona met at the same place, and as a matter of joke stirred np tho sands of the Bpring, when, lo! the missing jewel appeared, to the delight of the astonished owner. As enormous woman, one Carolina Heenan, Is now on exhibition in London. Her age Is sa : : ■ l-ivcuty-two years, and weight 560 mis.
