The proapect makes na unhappy. The Cincinnati Exposition.The Editor of the Now Orleans Times says the Cincinnati Ex position is tbo grandost affair of tho kind that baa ever oocnned on Ibis continent Pages of this paper wonld not suffice for a dry catalogue of the product* of human genius from oil parts of tho civilized world there exhibited; and one Urge space ia given entirely to tho illustration of the floriculture of the country, and through its oool walks yon mey stroll for bonra, and never tire of the infinite variety of rare and boautiful plants, flowers aud shrubbery, set off by artificial cascades and mountains, and kept ever fresh and dewy by a constant spray from mimlo fountains and jets. Among the wonders ia that hack fare to the Exposition U only ten cents. The WxA-rntn gets no better fast. Yesterday was excellent for rotting cotton bolls, and we bavo no donbt many a pound of oottan went to pot daring that twelve hours. Seriously, there has not been a more disastrous season on oot- tonsinoo 1M0—as wo are reminded by a gen tleman of Monroe conuty who says that during that year, thero were not more than ten con accutive diyaof sunshine from scod time lo harvest. Coil on drooped, it scorns, on Monday in New York and Liverpool, but not a tithe liko it did in tho fields alt over the South. The bears are making a desperate effort, but they will cer tainly get smashed in Ibe end. Before Christ mas they will not be able to buy a pound of the staple in New York at less than 30 cents— if this weather continues, aud many think they will bare to pay that, or more, anyhow. Sohehodt sends na a printed copy of a letter addressed to Horace Greeley by "Lieutenant Governor" Dunn, of Louisiana, on fho subject of the recent troubles between the two wings of tho Jacobin party of that State.

Tna Fetes at Chauxston. —The Charleston ‘T ^ following oompira Killing Nut grass. Few persons, aware of the almost fatal liar to general cropping presented by the Nut or tbe Gooo Gran, and the rapidity with wbicb it is spreading all over Ute South, can avoid feeling a good deal of anxiety on the sub ject. Some time ago we printed an adver tisement sent from Augusta promising a re ceipt “to get rid ef nut grate" upon the en closure to some anonymous address of a pos tage stamp and a 25 cent shin plaster. One of onr readers made application in due form and received for answer “ull your land and mote away.” That advice, with the present light on the subject, ia about as goods* any other. To ex terminate Nut gran or Cooo by the spade over any considerable area, ia a feat involving enor mous expense and the labor of years. It cm be managed with a good deal of steady and careful toil on small town lota, but this plan ia impracticable on the area of anything like a farm. But even in small garden patch**, where it haa once obtained firm hold, it is no light labor to exterminate tbe pest. One of onr neighbors, after digging year after year in vain, over a apot of a quarter of an acre, found tbe soil an almost Inexhaustible repository of the little germinal nuts, and went to the expense of having all of It riddled in a sieve to the depth of fourteen inches. This, wo believo, made a ease of the Cooo. Where it ia eradicated by the spade or sieve, great care should be taken to destroy tbo ger minal principle by fire. It is cruel, as some do, to throw it into tho street to spread and grow in the neighborhood. Almost aa well scatter the small-pox about. Salt in snob quantities as to destroy general vegetation has been recommended aa a remedy. Ttit, {* expensive, and involves the sacrifice the ground for some years to the purposes general gardening. Bat there are some vegeta bles which will flourish in a atrongly saline aoiL Cabbages, asparagus and beets will do it Long and continuous shade will finally exter minate the Cooo. We were told by a friend few days ago that Mr. Quackenboss, of Gria- woldville, had aneceaafnlly treated tho Coco ' this way principally by turnip crops. Fortu nately, there is no difficulty in Georgia in main taining land under dense shade at all seasons the year. Manure the land well and begin August or September, say, with turnips broad casted. The Coco ia not an evergreen in this latitude—it will not stand our frosts. Early the spring, the land might be again broadcasted with oats, rye or wheat, and as soon as these were cut, broadcast again with the field pea, and then in September manure and broadcast with turnips again. By this time tbe germinal prineipio in tho roots of the grass should have perished. Aa we have said, lha Coco is spreading almost everywhere in Georgia. When visitors go our Macon Fsir Grounds they will see a great area of it on the racs-eonno. It ia quite aa bad on the Fair Grounds in Augusta and all over tbe city. It must be a terrible post in tbe gardens. As one travels west it becomes still more com man. The whole Mississippi region is fall it, and some of tho most productive lands that section bavo boen abandoned on acoount of it. This grass will grow six inches to a foot in tbreo weeks. The nnt of it is bitter and nn palatable, and differs from the nut of the genu ine nut grass which is swoet and pleasant to tho taste. The Coco is less troublesome and less difficult to manage than tho nut grass. Its roots are stronger and do not penetrate the earth deeply. Tho blado of both is very similar. Crops in Alabama. The Montgomery Advertiser, of Sunday, says the catterpillar is completing the destruc tion wMch the rust hsd begun in the cotton fields of Pike county. In Sumpter dry weather and rust will reduce the yield of cotton ono half. In the neighborhood of Tnscombia the crops are very nearly burned np. Devastation ia the rule in Henry county. In the neighbor hood of Eufanla fields are now bare which a few weeks ago promised a luxuriant yield. In North Alabama the corn crop will be abort, and cot ton is drooping. The Wilcox Vindicator reck ons upon bnt one-third cf a crop of all kinds. From Marengo county a planter writes the Advertiser controverting the figures of a man named E. J. Donnell, who has recently issued a cotton circular in the interests—apparently— of tho Now York hears. The planter says : If E. J. Donnell, or nny otbor New York cot ton merchant, will take an area of ten miles square and give ns one-fourth ot what wo made last year they can be accommodated, and we will enter into any sort of bond besides putting np a forfeit for the faithful performance of the contract. There ia a planter near mo who has in three thouiand acre* of cotton and I understand ho wiU not make and gather one hundred bales. There is another who made on one field last year seventy-five bales and now offers the crop, being all in cotton, for four bale*. There ia another who is considered one of tbe most snoccssfal (who used to plant in Montgomery county, and possibly bought groceries from Donnel when he kept store where Wyman's stand now is,) that planted sufficient land for ono hundred bales and fnlly expected to make if, and now offers his crop for twenty bales! Sudden Death or an Entiee Family.—Tbo Wilmington (N. 0.) Journal, of Saturday, says From a gentleman who arrived here yosterdsy we learn that an entire family in Faison's Town ship, Duplin oonnty, [died very recently, and under snob peculiar circumstances that the neighbors have suspected foul play, and have therefore taken measures to bavo the matter thoroughly investigated. On tbe evening of the Cth instant, Mr. Exam Morris, the father of tbe family, was taken snddenly very ill with burn ing pains across his stomach. He rapidly grew worse and expired the next day. On the 9th, Mrs. Macinno Morris, his wife, aged 40, also died, haviog suffered in a similar manner. On the lltb, a child named Bnth, daughter of the above, and aged only 8 months, was taken ill and died, and on the 13th, Charles, son to the above oouple, and aged 4 years, also died. There were natural gronuds for suspicion, and tbe stomachs of tbe two children were taken out and were yesterday brought to this city and given in charge of Dr. D. AL Buie, for the pur- pose of making an analysis of their contents. Mr.-Exum was an old and highly respected citizen of Duplin county, and the sudden de- oease of Mmself and family has oast a deep gloom over the surrounding section. The neigh bors, in general, believe that the entire family were poisoned, and there are strong auspicious, we understand, of those who committed tho horrible deed. Geohoia State Aoeicultuoai.

The Secre tary requests the publication in tbe Macon dai lies and in the weekly press of the State: By Mr. Stubbs, of Laurens : Whereas, The matter of tho proposed distri bution of the fnnda arising from the land scrip has been referred to a committee to report to the next meeting of this body, and as the Leg islature will meet before the next annual meet ing in February, 1872, therefore, be it Resolved, 1st, That when this Convention ad journ, it adjonrn to meet at the City Hall tn Mason, on Tuesday, the 24th day of October next, at 7 o'clock p. m.

A martial hero of tho colored persuasion named Andrew Jackson disturbed tho serenity of Savannah, on Sunday, by assaulting two other colored troops with » razor, riding at a Gilpin pace through the streets, and firing off a trewly loyal pistol as he went.

Board of Health write* to the Savannah News, under date of the 13th inst, that the yellow fever has entirely disappeared from that place. Bainbridge shipped 3000 bales of cotton last year to Savannah and other points. We find the following items ia tbe Bainbridge San of Saturday: Fbox all sections of our oounty come gloomy reports about the condition of the crops since the late storm and rein. AU the low lands have been submerged, and the crops thereon almost totally destroyed. It £» very unfortunate for the prosperity of onr section that such is the case, but there la no getting around it—the damages to a groat extent are irreparable. Gbeznbacxs are scarcer in Bainbridgo than they have been for several years prat Every body seems to be pressed to the wall financially and if a handsome price is not realized for tho meagre crop of cotton mode in the country this season, the result we fear can be summed up in four letters, B-c 1N! Wo hope for the best, however.

The water is within a fe feet of tbe top of the Arnett bridge, and would not be at aU surprised if, before we press, that structure should start on trip to Bay. McLaughlin's mill is now standing alone in its glory on a little island, and we under stand that Mr. Me. says that if the water rises a foot higher the river will be booming right through his famaee. The crops in the rich lands along the river are all doubtlessly des troyed, yet wo cannot teU the extent of the destruction.

Death or Habdi Pehuns.—This gentleman, well known to many of onr citizens, died sud denly at hia father’s residence near Colaparcbee, last Tuesday night. Mr. Perkins hsd, only a few dova prior to hit death, and daring a revival at Mount Zion, enrolled hia name aa a member of tbo Methodist Church. Sudden Death.—Mrs. Jno.

It seems that after visiting tho Spring, Mr. M. went np to the village, leaving his wife in tho waiting room at the bath house, appa rently ss well as usual, and returning after ~ short sbsence found her a corpse. Bate or Taxation.—Monroe county taz-pay- ors will have to oontribnto very liberally to meet the indebtedness of the current year. The Or dinary has not yet fixed tho rate of taxation, but be says there is no doubt about tbe redemp tion of much of his scrip in this way. At pres ent, there is no “ sinking” fund. Tho Atlanta Era, of yeaienlay, has the fol lowing : A Sad Coincidence.—Mr. L. II.

They robbed a store—murdered the clerk, and thou fired tbe premises. When the death warrant was read two of them maintained an air of stolid indifference, but Williams, the ring leader, exclaimed: "Thank God! it has come at last Heaven be praised for making me commit the crime, for without that, I would not have known there was a God." This was a negro execution throughout, and it exhibited some strange features. Ono of these was the bringing out of one Bandall Cole man, charged with killing another negro, to witness the example. Tbe prisoners were marched fonr miles through mud knee deep, encompassed by an immerse crowd of darkies, to the place of execution. Tbe Times, who witnessed the performance, says : Owing to tbe narrowness of tho levee at the scene of tbe murder, a spot was chosen remov ed about five hundred yards distant The gal lows consisted of two upright posts, twelve feet high, topped by a beam of tbe same length. Midway from the top was laid a platform, which rested loosely on two posts below, to the lower extremity of one of which was attached a rope. Ten feet behind tbe gallows and toward the river was a deep grave, intended for tho reoeption of the three victims. Between tbe grave and the instrument of death there rose to the height of twenty feet a slender pole, at the end of which a black flag, with a ball of white in the centre, lazily flutter ed in the breeze. Directly in front of the gal lows were placed tbe open coffins, while before them sat Btndall Coleman, tbe man who bad been bronght out to feel the force of example, his countenance expressing a terrible agony under this fearful ordeal. At 10:15 the three mounted the scaffold and took their seats upon small square boxes, each beneath a noose which dangled from the beam above. Tbe sheriff now informed them that they would be permitted to address the people, whereupon one after tbe other indulged in some what bysterieal expressions, the substance of all of which was a statement that (hey were wil ling to die, as they felt satisfied they had been forgiven by God, and would be taken home to Jesus. At half past ten o'clock Sheriff Oliver cried “caps down," when the black robed executioner (a colored man) sprang from his curious vehicle and monuting the gallows, performed the bnsi- ness of pinioning, adjusting the nooses, and drawing tbe caps over the needs of the con demned. While this wa3 being done, AN DNHXABD OF PBOCEDUBE was instigated by Sheriff Oliver, who approach ing Coleman, the poor negro charged, bnt not not yet even tried for murder, and addressed him in a load voice, saying: “Do you see these murderers ?*I have bronght you out here to aee the terrible fate ia store for you. Yon murdered a man, and yon may de fend upon being put to death just as these men tefore you. I have done something in bringing you here, which has never been done in the State, and I want you to look at these men well, for that is tbo way you will die.” By this time the executioner hsd dono hia work, and, descending, he grasped the rope referred to as being attached to one of the sup- torts of the ptatform, and at the cry of “time” >y tbe sheriff, and while the white spectres were singing a hymn, the man in black tagged snddenly and fiercely, Ibe prop gave way, the platform came tumbling down, and witb a quick "thud" there dangled between heaven and earth the murderer* ot Frank Uenuath.

Under this bead the Kew York Sun (Uep.) of Saturday tells the following story: On Monday two prominent gentlemen c f this city visited the Administrative Cottage at Long Branch on business. They sent in their cards, which wore promptly returned with tbe message that the “President was too bnsUy engaged with public affairs to grant them on audience.” They turned away dispirited, and were descend ing the stoop when a barouche drove np con taining a gorgeously attired oolored citizen, who sent in bis card, as the others had done before.
