three or four of them. The condition of the
Perry road bridge waa reported during the
atorm. At that Ume the water was above the

eurely go. At Bailey's Mill Mr. B. aaya the
flood waa four inches above the highest mark

Mr. P. aaya the flood waa aix inches higher. The
lorn of ao many bridges at thia Ume, when we

The Athena Watchman, of Wednesday, has a
strong article from a correspondent urging the
claims of our townsman, Hon. Thomaa Harde
man, as the Democratic candidate for Governor
next year, nnd declaring emphaUealiy that he
is tbo choice of Northeast Georgia for that po
sition. The writer says the people of that sec
tion bavo not forgotten the services of OoL H.
in scouring for them tho Air Line railway, and
that they insist npon showing their grateful ap
preciation of sach service in the manner above
staled. Wo had intended publishing the article
in full, and laid the paper aside for that purpose,
lint it haa been taken away or misplaced. If
wo find it it will appear hereafter. We canes,
sure onr countrymen of that section that they
can apeak no good words of onr townsman that
will not bo heartily responded to down thia way.
Damage to Cotton In Southwest
Georgia.
The late atorm did immonso damage to the
eotton crop of the counties southwest of this
dly, along the line of the Southwestern Bail-
road. The prospect was gloomy enough before
tbe storm, bnt it is very mnch more so since.
Wo hear concurrent reports from all that aeo-
liou to this effect, and from one county (Dough
erty ) we saw a dispatch yesterday which clinched
the nail as to that immediate seeUon. The dta-
patoh stated that great damage bad neon done,
and npon two plaoea put down the loas at three
hundred bale*! noarly one-sixth of what
their oatimated yield beforo the storm.
The Kcal Issue.
We insist upon the voters of thia district not
t~<i» g sight of the real issue involved In the
raoe between CoL Simmons and that hungry in-
dividual, Mr. James Tinley. It la not simply a
question of Democrat or Badioal, though that is,
or ought to be sufficient to rally every honeat
white man to an active support of the former
candidate. The real Issue, the live question, D
whether this district shall send, as Us represent
ative to the State Senate, a man who endorses,
and will, If elected, defend tho infamous cor
ruption, and waste, and plundering of the Bol
lock administration; or one who will do all he
can to expose those iniquities and bring the per
petrators to juatioe. The Medicals, whose can
didate Mr. Tinley is, and npon whose platform
he stands flabfooted, deny that there haa been
any rascality—deny that the Bollock gang has
been thieving and squandering the people's
money, and consequently are bound to oppose
all measures set on foot to unearth these vil
lainies sod punish the criminals. Mr. Tinley,
if he does not intend to cheat the negroes, is
bound to back np thia position by voice and
vote. He is bound to aay and vote that there
haa not been any stealing on the State Road—
no overissue of bonds and misapplication of
their prooeeda by Bollock—no squandering of
money on carpet-beggen—no waste, or worse,
in the legislative and exeeutive departments of
the State government—no nullification of law
and outrage of justice by turning looee hundreds
of oonvicted criminals to renew their ravages
npon the persons and property of peaceable cit
izens. Thia is the position of the Badicaia, and
Mr. Tinley, if be is an honest man and don'
mean to fool the confiding freedmeu who lis
tened to his prisons appeals and put him on the
track, is bound to sustain it. He U pledged to
■tend by the Bullock administration in its forth,
coming trial, and he knows it us well as those
who nominated him.
CoL Simmons, on the other hand, ia not alone
the Democratic candidate, bnt he represents
the protest of all the people against the profit
gaey and corruption of the past three years,
ia the candidate of all who desire to see retrench
ment in expenses, reform in all abuses, econo
my and honesty. He favors a redaction
f.-ratfon, and relief from the burdens that now
weigh ao heavily upon the shoulders of every
wbito and black man in the State, who works
for a living. He ia in favor of honest men in
office, small salaries, and making every office
holder toe the mark of a rigid accountability.
He will vote and work for all measures that
every honest man sees and knows to be neces
sary to save the State from financial min, and
which every gorged Badioal offioe-hoMer and
his “pals" in the State will oppose. He ia
square man and will so stand on the record.
Mr. Tinley just Isn’t that—if he ia true to the
erowd that ia running him—and will have to
vote exactly as the Atlanta ring of plunderers
and profligates dictates.
We ask every voter in the district who baa
the least interest in making a change from ex-
travagance to economy—from rogues in offioe
to honest men in office—from pardoning crimi<
nals to punishing criminals—from wrong and
deviltry of every sort to right and justice, to
take thia view of the ease and vote for the man
who will do ail he ean to effect the change. Let
Mr. James Tinley be tanght a lesson that will
core his lust for office for good and all, and
]oave him abundant leisure to meditate, among
bis peach orchards, npon the wickedness as well
as the vanity of a white man trying to sell ont
his race and oolor. Men of Bibb, Monroe and
Pike!—black men—not black elate* to some
fancy city mulatto master—aa well as white
men—now ia yonr time to strike a home blow
for sonnd principles and a sound man. Now la
your time to choke off one more would-be raider
npon yonr pockets!

A Great Temptation.
Thia faseioatlng work, it admitted into tbe
family eirole, would indeed verify its title, by
proving a great temptation to the yonng and
pure.
Teeming with exciting incidents, and oft-
tlmea indelicate and offenaivo in ita allusions to
subjects which should be excluded from polite
literature, paroota would do woll to banish it
from their parlors and firoaidcs.
The moral poison of such publications ia like
tho deadly upas to the young and inexperienced.
They inflame the passions, corrnpt the tastes,
and destroy the souls of thoao too often who
have road them. For sale by Brown & Go.
Bovtsibn Exraxss Coarasr — At such times
aa this, when railway washes and breaks so in
terrupt the regular transportation of mail and
ordinray freight nutter, the above institution
most fully demonstrates its usefulness and
claims npon the business community. It ia al
ways prompt, faithful and energetic. If any
thing ean get through OTer an interrupted line
. of traffic, it finds or makes a way, and what it
promises, in this direction, it’rarely fails toper-
form. Tho writer has had occasion frequently,
of late, to watch its way of doing things, and
hia opinion, above stated, is as honest as it is
well based. Tho agent here, Mr. Henderson, ia
■ specimen expressman, combining all tho
qualities requisite to make up a No. 1 business
man. Polite, prompt, full of vim and thoroughly
understanding his business, he is ao emphati
cally the right man in the right plaoe that the
pnblio mention of the fact may lie deemed en
tirely supererogation. He fully merits all the
good words and popularity he haa won since hia
residence with us. Here’s Kip's toast to him.
Macon aan Baonawtrx Katutoan.—We learn
from one of the officials of this road that all the
breaks and washes on the line have been thor
oughly repaired, and the cars came through
from Savannah and Brunswick yesterday.
It la thought the Central will be in running
order also by Monday next, and the Maoon and

Ix New York yesterday morning the ootton
bears evidently begun to smell a mouse.
■ales were 1200 bales.
Ir it were not for railway catastrophes and
New York abortions, tho Press agency would be
out cl news in these times.
We agree with onr correspondent in repro
bating aU personal attacks, from any aocroe,
upon Mr. Stephens. Tbe oonrae of tbe discus
sion has shown that there is apparently no sub
stantial issue involved in this so-called new
departnro wrangle. Mr. Stephens, in a late
number of tbe Sun, speaking of the California
DemnnraUn resolutions, defend* hia position
thus:
Our correspondent tags that the California
Democrat, in their State platform, intend only
to declare the three amendment* are “o settle
ment in fact of all the issue* of the tear, etc.,
and not to aver that they had been adopted ac
cording to law, or that they were in themselves
either just or right. On tbe contrary, be says
that they have “an abiding faith in the intelli
gence of the people to pronounoo them null
and void at some future day.”
Thia ia onr position exactly. This we believe
to have been tbe position of ninety-nine ont of
every hundred of the honest matteeof the Democ
racy in every State ot the Union. AU that is
wanted for a brilliant victory in 1872, on these
principles and with this view, ia for thorn to get
together in common oouneil and set forth their
purposes and principles in langnaga which will
clearly oxpress their common ideas, and abont
which there ean be no mistake or misunder
standing. • * *
We don't think any Southern or Northern
Democrat will be disposed to go further than to
admit that the amendments in question are de
facto "a settlement of the issue* of the tear.” AU
lexicographers wiU agree that the word “settle'
meat” in this connection means a point fixed
and established permanently between the parties
eonoerned—a controversy finaUy adjusted and
which they do not intend to reopen. A contro
versy still open is not “settled." A controversy
suspended or adjourned to some future day,
ia not “settled.” Anything left in abeyanoe is
not “settled.” No man haa any other idea of
settlement than that it cloaca np the matter in
hand finally and forever, ao far aa the parties to
tbe settlement are concerned. Webster defines
the verb to settle—“to establish”— 1 "to fix firm
ly”—“to fix,” and ao on, and there ia no proper
use of the term which admits the idea of parties
declaring a settlement, coming np afterwards-
pleading their own previous insincerity and in-
dating that the controversy mast be re opened.
It is true they may, in the words of the Cali
fornia writer, “have an abiding faith in the in
telligence of the people to pronounce the settle
ment and the amendments nail and void at some
future day"—but that is quite a different mat
ter. This must be equitably done by parties
who were not implicated in declaring the settle
ment “a settlement in fact of aU the issues of
the war.” But what these people of “some
future day" may do or refrain from doing ia all
a matter of hypothesis and conjecture. It is of
no present moment. We must leave it to them.
We must allow posterity to look ont for itself
in this particular.
The material point is that Mr. Stephens goes
aa far aa any Southern Democrat or (to the ex
tent of onr knowledge) any Northern Democrat,
in accepting the three amendments aa “a settle
ment in fact of aU the issues of the war.” Aa
to their justice and, particularly as to the ques
tion whether they were legally enacted, or en
acted according to aU the equities ot the Consti
tution, we think there cannot be two candid
and inteUigent opinions on the continent The
beet that oan be plead for them ia the hollote
form of constitutional enactment, belying the
true intent and spirit of that instrument We
hold, then, that tbe controversy about the so-
called “new departure haa been reduoed to ■
question about nothing at all; or, as old Benton
used to call it “a question of goat’s wool.”

Editors Telegraph and Messenger : The com
munication of "Argus” in your Friday's paper
makes a very grave charge against Mr. Wadley
and the directory of the Central Bailroad Com
pany, and aa a citizen of Msoon who ia in no
way connected with Mr. Wadley or the Central
Bailroad, I venture to asy that the people of
Maoon are not in sympathy with “Argus,” either
in the letter or spirit of tho aoensation. The
proposition to fund one-half of the floating
debt of the city at eighty-five cents on the dot-
lar ia one tho liberality of which should be
properly appreciated by us. If the object of
the Bailroad Company ia to acquire a power
ovor the city, it can easily purchase the bonds
of the city now upon the market. I have re
gretted to see the Central Bailroad Company
get possession of the Southwestern and Msoon
and Western Railroads, and am opposed to all
“monopolies," still it ia a matter of congratula
tion when “monopolies" offer to use their mon
ey in BO public spirited and liberal a manner.
The policy of accepting tho offer of the rail-
toad company, it is not the object of thU com
munication to discuss. Tho only object la to
a respectful proteat against the propriety
at replying with an insult to an offer of assis
tance. Justice.

We clip the following items from the Son,

A Mattes or Gexeoai, Ixtteest —The city
of Maoon hoi oat some *180,000 of change bills,
many of which find their way in this direction.
When in large amounts of Iwenty.flve dollars
or more they are discounted heavily by our
s.«v. and thus beoome sources of annoyances
and loss. A wealthy and enterprising city like
Maoon ought to have redeemed them long since.
Tbe Cchxx Plantations —A gentleman re
ports he passed over six targe plantations in
this good section in Alabama. He saw some
passably good eotton that would yield COO
pounds to the acre, and some miserably poor.
The latter predominated. Farmers aa a rule
are the bluest looking of down-hearted people.
Railroad Hands and Cotton Fields.—We
are told aome two hundred hands, in lota of one
hundred each, were offered to the contractors
of the North and South Railroad. They de
clined them aa they already have aome six hun
dred on the line, this number being amply suffi
cient to complete their engagements for tho
first twenty miles. They are under heavy bonds

stood that a prominent gentleman haa proffered
to take these h.ud. and employ them in the
next three weeks on tbe Columbus and Albany,
or the Bsinbridge, Cuthbert and Columbus
Road, whichever the Council and the people of
onr city shall resolve to support. This number
of bands seeking employment shows the short
ness of the eotton crop. Planters will have to
hire no bands thia year to pick it ont For thie
purpose their present force will more than
anffioe.

The Columbus Enquirer proffers tho follow
ing crumbs of comfort to its readers:
Tbe low price at which bacon ia ruling is cer
tainly an encouraging symptom in these days of
complaint of short crops, scarcity of money,
etc. Nothing has drawn more heavily upon the
purse* of planters and mechanics daring the
past few yean than the article of meat. Prior
to the present year bacon, since the late war,
has ranged from 18 to 30 cents, which, in view
of tbe frequent nnremnnerative prices of cot
ton, haa greatly embarrassed, financially, the
masses. There seems to bo titUo prospect of
any immediate advanoe in the article, as the
present supply ia exoeUent and the hog prospect
in the west reported good. As an increasing at
tention has been given to raising hogs in the
Sonth, tho demand for western meat will not be
so targe aa that of previous years, and hence
the ontlook is favorable for an abundant and
cheap anpplyof the irrepressible hog daring the
coming year. Although our cotton crop may be
reduced to two-thirds or one-half, there is little
danger of starvation ao long aa bacon remains
at 10 to 12}e. If the unfavorable ootton reports
which reach ns from all sections are well founded
the staple will be apt to range from 1C to 20c.
thus holding the hog in abeyance. There it
some hope for onr section when cotton is on top
of the hog, but when the position is reversed
“look out for squalls.” Tho hog crop in Colum
bus waa never better, as wo heard a gentleman
say the other day it is almost impossible to drivo
np Broad street without running over a score
or more ot them.

“ I stole a feed of corn from yon during the lata

We clip these items from tho Atlanta Sun, of

HoxnciDE at Bauhett.—A negro boy was
killed yesterday at Barnett, the j auction of the
Washington branch of the Georgia Railroad.
A wagon, having in it aeveral boys or young
men—some whites and some negroes—bad come
from the oonntry and was standing near the
depot One of the white boys and one of the
negroes got into a quarrel for some causo, and
became very angry with each other. The white
boy armed himself with a pistol, and fired at tho
negro with whom be was quarrelling. Tbe ball
missed him, bnt struck another negro in tho
bead, killing him instantly. Tbe white boy
immediately took to tbe woods, and escaped for
the time being. When the np train on the
Georgia Bailroad passed Barnett, a number were
making preparations fora vigorous pursuit, and
tho fellow will no doubt be caught, if it has not
already been done.
Illness or Dn. Mrr.r,—We learn that Dr.
F. H. Mell, Vice-Chancellor of the University

of a friend near Wood villa Station, on tbe

been attending a religions revival daily, and

Rruinrkable Performance by Goldsmith
Hold-—She Trots n Mile In the Unprece
dented Time or 1:17.
Milwaukee, September G.—The race at Cold
Springs this afternoon, between Goldsmith Maid
and Lacy, was one of the most remarkable in
trotting annals, Goldsmith Maid making the
fastest single, and also the best three heata on
record. The erowd present were fairly carried
away with excitement. The horses were brought
npon the track at 3:30 r. a After scoring inef
fectually three times the horses got the word
and started off neck and neck. This position
they maintained for the first quarter, then the
Maid gradually drew ahead, and at the half mile
pole obtained a lead of a length, which she re
tained to the close, passing under the wire in
2:20j.
In the seoond heat the horses got a fine start
npon the first attempt, and passed under the
wire head and head.
The mare immediately began to draw away
from Luoy, and soon bad obtained a lead of
aeveral lengths. In going around the first tom
she made a slight break, by which she lost three
lengths; however, thia soon brought her down
to her work, and, with tho exoeption of a alight
skip at the last turn, which was scaroely per
ceptible to the spectators, she trotted the re
mainder of the heat in magnificent style, coming
home half a dozen lengths ahead of Lney, in
the unprecedented time, as announced by the
judges, of 2:17, which is a quarter of a seoond
faster than the best time ever made by Dexter.
The actual time of this beat was 2:16}: but
the watches of the judges did not agree, one
making 2:J6j, another 2:16} and the third 2:17.
The last was adopted in order to dispel any
doubts which might result from the complica
tion.
In the third heat the horses got off on the
seoond start, passing the judges’ stand abreast
Lucy held the Maid closely throughout, coming
in at the close half a length behind. Time 2:20}.
The news of the remarkable performance of
Goldsmith Maid spread throughout the city like
wild fire, and Bndd Doble, the driver, ia a lion
of the first magnitude for the time being.
Tax Bcsian journals have statement* that at
a dinner given the New French Ambassador,
Gen. Leflo, shortly aftir his arrival at St. Pe-’
teraburg, by the Czar, the Grand Dnko said i
“France may be unfortunate, bnt I and the
Princess leave her deeply all the some. Thus after
Sebastapol yon conquered ns still more by
the generosity of yonr proceedings than by the
force of yonr arms. 1 shall never forget yon
bore your suoceea nobly, bnt that was an easy
task, as you were not the parvennea of victory."
The Prussian Ambassador, who was present, re
ported »hi" to his government.
Tbue Genius.—Alexander Hamilton once
said to an intimate friend: “Men giveme some
credit for genius. AU the genioa I haTe lies
just in this: when I have a subject in hand, I
study it profoundly. Day and night it is be
fore me. I explore it in all its bearings. My
mind becomes pervaded with it. Then the ef
fort which I make, the people aro pleased to
call the fruit of genius. It ia the fruit of tabor
and thought."
Advices concerning tbe ootton crop continue
of a most discouraging character. Ia a great
many of tha finest cotton distriots of Louisiana
an<Mimi*sfppi the caterpillar ia doing mnch
damage, and spreading rapidly. It is now be
yond doubt that this peat will largely reduoe
the crop. It ta idle to aay that they have yet
done only a slight injury, and are confined to a
few loea'i ties. They have passed through their
first webbing, and the “eecond crop,” as it is
called, are sweeping everything before them.
From all that is known of this insect, no expe
rienced planter anywhere on the bottom lands
of Mississippi or Louisiana would pronounoo
his crop secure.
Bust, boll worm and drouth have done almost
ss mnch damage to the crop in Texas, Arkansas,
Georgia and some portions of Alabama as the
worm will do in the valley. The Arkansas crops
were splendid np to a few weeks since, but
advices from that State of recent date are not
flattering. Texas tatters aay that not half
crop can be made. The drouth haa forced the
plant to early maturity, but there is no frnit
it, and the leaves are already turning yellow
and dropping off.
These disasters, taken in connection with the
damage from excessive rains early in the sea
son, militate very strongly against any high ea
tunats of the crop, and it now looks very doubt
ful if 3,000,000 bales ean, under any circum
stances, be secured.
Yea, and soon it will look doubtful whether
two and a half millions of bales ean be secured.
The Picayune's reports from Louisiana, in de
tail, are very serious. They say the worms will
eat up the crop by the 13th, and are making
more rapid work than waa ever known before.

liable, bnt made up to order by a sub-commit
tee, who retired to a lager beer saloon for that
purpose after having left Grant's mansion. Tho
reporters were rigidly excluded from the inter
view, the Louisianians say, by orderof tiro Presi
dent. The tatter says that at the request of the
delegation the darkey at the Presidential door
stopped the reporters and peremtorilj order-
ed them away. Tho associated press report
er then attempted to run the blockade,
bat Grant himself put him out. The in-
terview tasted twenty minutes, at the close
of which the reporters were told that a
port would be made np and furnished,
have just had a conversation with a member of
the delegation, who have just returned to New
York. He aaya the President waa greatly ex
cited, and twiee interrupted the reading of the
memorial. When Casey's outrage was shaded
to he stamped hia foot angrily on the floor, and
again pounded tbe piano with hta hand, showing
all through the reading extreme agitation. The
President did not wait for the ending of the
reading, bnt interrupted by saying Casey was
not there. CoL Dibble, of the delegation, re
plied that the soldiers wore stationed there by
command of Casey. Grant denied iL When
the reading was finished tho President said he
would show the document to the other aide, and
hear what they had to say about it.—JYeio York
dispatch to Western Press, September 6th.
Fob tbe Bora.—Henry Ward Beecher has
written this: “I never saw anybody do anything
that I did not watch him and see how he did it,
for there is no telling but that some time I might
havo to do it myself. I was going across a prai
rie onee; my horse began to limp. Luckily
came across a blacksmith's shop, but the smith
was not at homo. I asked the woman of the
honse if she would allow me to start a fire and
make the shoe. She said I might if I know
how. So I started a fire and heated tho shoe
red hot and tamed it to fit my horse’s foot,
pared the boot and turned the points of the
nails ont cunningly, as I had soen the black
smith do, so that in driving into the hoof they
should not go into thoqnick,and shod the horse.
At the next place I went to, I went straight to
a blacksmith and told him to put tbo shoe on
properly, no looked at the hone’s foot, and
paid mo the greatest compliment I ever received
in my life. He told me if I pnt on that shoe, I
bad better follow btacksmithing all my life.
Now I never should have known bow to do this
if I had not looked on and seen others do it”
The vastness of Bostonian architecture may
be conjectured from the reported circumstanoe
that some workmen engaged in repairing
mansion belonging to the Somerset Club acci
dently discovered 1,572 bottles of maderia ir
an old comer of the cellar where they had been
deposited nearly half a century ago and lost
sight of ever since. Thewineia said to have been
very expensive in the beginning and modeqlearor
still by lapse of time.
