North rant t.rorgln's t'Uolcc lor Uov- rrnor. 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! “Mr. Stephens anil the New Depart ure.” 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.

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.

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.” Reply to “Arzus.” 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. Memphis railway passed through CjI ambus, on Wednesday.

The Son announces tho death, in New Or leans, a short time ainoe, of CoL Yon Zinken, who commanded the poet of Columbus during the last year of tbe war. We clip the following items from the Son, Wednesday: 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 to have the track ready in time to run a train to Pine Mountainby January I sL Wealao under 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. Meriwether camp meeting was in full blast last Sunday with an attendance of between 2,000 and 4,000 persons. Another item of Meri wether oounty news is that $80,000 has been raised at Greenville for the Colnmbna and Air- Line railway. 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. The cars commenced running on the Atlanta street railway, Thursday. A religious revival has boon in progress at McLemore Cave, Walker oounty, for the past three weeks. One hundred and eighty persons have professed religion, among them 15 or 20 Universalists. M. A. Ellison, charged with killing Thomas Coulter, in Walker county, last May, has been found guilty of voluntary manslaughter, and sentenced to fifteen years in the penitentiary. The Cartersville Standard says: Joseph Humphreys, the murderer who broke jail some days since, was recaptured near King ston on Wednesday night of last week, by a gentleman living in that neighborhood. Ho aaya bis object was to kill bis wife, father-in-law and mother-in-taw, and then he was willing to die.

We clip these items from tho Atlanta Sun, of yoaterdsy: 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.

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. Tit© Interview Between Grunt untl tlie Louisiana Delegation. The report to be furnished to the oonntry this evening of the intervjpw of the Louisiani ans with the President at Long Branoh ta not re 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.
