“In the Union Restored?”
We notice in the St. Louis Republican an in
quiry under this head elicited by Bensekeeper
Morton's vaunts that the credit of restoring the
Union belongs to the Radical party. The Re
publican claims that the declaration of martial
law—suspension of habeas corpus—quartering
troops among the people—political conventions
and elections overawed by mitrailenses and
bayonets—civil prooess set aside—military ar
rests and trials, etc., are no evidence that the
Union is folly restored. The fact is, the vanot
of Morion in Its last analysis is simply that mil
itary force has substituted the old Union of the
States, and the whole effort of Morton and
Grant before the people is to jostify the substi
tution as a matter of necessity—growing out of
tho fact that the Union, as it once stood, has
not been restored, and is not practicable on ac
count of the disloyalty of tho Southern States.
Well, we have this to say about tho present in
its relations to the future. Admitting that Mor
ton and Grant are able to carry ont their Ku-
klnx programme carefully in 1872, it will be
the last performance of that kind possible by
the Radicals, and their organization, in all prob
ability, will go to pieces soon after the second
inauguration. A second re-election being im
practicable, Grant will probably mitigate his
violence against the South, and the quarrel for •
reapportionment of tho spoils of the last term
will be violent and destructive to all the party
except Grant himself, who will then take it
oooly. The politieal future after that time, if
not before, will brighten to the Sonth, and in a
few years she will probably reacquire a fair
ahare of influence in the pnblic administration
—enough, at least, to resene herself from the
position of the butt and the victim of the other
States. The Union will then be restored suffi
ciently for the gcnoral purposes of fair and
eqnitablo government, and upon this condition
the pooplo of tho Sonth will rest.
AN AFRICAN FIRE KING.
A Mnrylantl Ilnrkey Mumps the Doctors—
lie Ent* .Tolled Lead—Randles Red Hot
Iron, and Dors Divers Other Manning
Trleha.
A fire proof negro at Easton, Md., is the
latest wonder. He don't mind fire any more
than Beast Butler does having the truth told of
him, and seems bound to establish his claims
as a veritable rival to Shadrac, Mcshao and
Abedncgo. Numerous tests havo been applied
to Ascertain the genuineness of his alleged in
sensibility to the effects of actual fire, and all
with the same result. A late exhibition of his
wonderful powers was given a few days since,
in the presence of several physicians, which
witnessed by n correspondent of tho New
York Herald, who writes of it as follows:
A brisk fire of anthracite coal was burning in
a common coal stove, and nn iron shovel waa
plaoed in the stove and heated to a white heat.
When all was ready the negro pulled off his
boots end plaoed tUb hot shovel upon tbo soles
of his feet, and kept it there nntil the shovel
became blaek. His feet were than examined
by tho physician, bnt no barns conld be found,
and all declared that no evidence of a heated
substance having come in contact with them
is visible.
The shovel was again healed red-hot, taken
from tho stove and handed to him. He ran ont
his tongue ri far as he could, and laid tho
heated shovel npon it, licking the iron nntil it
became cooled. Tho physieran examined the
tongne, bnt found nothing to indicato that he
had suffered in the least from the heated iron.
A large handful of common squirrel shot pro
cured from a store near Dr. Stack's office office,
was next placed in an iron receptacle and heated
nntil melted. Tbo negro then took the dish,
ponred the heated lead into the palm of his
band, and then pnt into his month, allowing it
to ran all aronnd bis teeth and gams. He re
peated the operation several times, each time
keeping the melted lead in his month nntil
solidified. After each operation tho physicians
examined him carefully, bnt oonld find nothing
npon his flesh to indicate that he had been in
tbo least affected by the heated substance he bod
been handling. After the performances with
the lead be deliberately put his hand into the
stove, in which was a very hot fire, took there
from a handful of hot coals and passed them
about the room to tho gentlemen present, keep
ing them in his hand some time, not the slight
est evidonco of a burn was visible npon bis
band after he threw the coals back into the
stove.
After ho had concluded his performances in
Dr. Stack's office, I sought an opportunity to
converse with him. I found him very ignorant,
not able to read or write, and in all respects an
unadulterated negro. His name is Nathan
Coker, and he ia about 58 years of age. Ho was
born in tho town of Hillsborough, Caroline
oonnty, Maryland, and was the slave of Henry
L Sellers, of that place, by whom bo was sold
to Bishop Einsry. In relation to his ability to
handle fire, and how he first became aware of
it, be said: “Boss, when I was about 13 years
old, old Massa Emory hired me out to a lawyer
whose name was Purnell. He treated me badly,
and did not give me cnongh to eat. I shied
sronnd the kitchen one day, and when the cook
left I shot in, dipped my hand into the dinner
pot and pulled out u red hot dumpling. Tbo
boiling water did not burn, and I could eat tbe
hot dumpling witbont winking; so afterdatl
often got my dinner that way. I has often got
the hot fat off the boiling water and drank it.
I drink my coffee when it is boiling, and it
does not give me half so much pain as it does to
drink a glass of cold water. I always likes it
i ust os hot as I can get it ” I then interorgated
ifm as to the effect heated substances had upon
his flesh, and asked him when he handled them
with his hands if ho did not suffer more than
when bo took them inwardly, to which he re
plied : “No, boss. I often take my iron ont of
the forge with my hand when red hot, bnt it
don't bnrn. Sinoe I wan a little boy I have
never been afraid to handle fire.”
Knox A Gill, Baltuxouk.—The
liberal propositions of this noted honse, to be
fonnd in another column, will be reed with in
terest by our mercantile and farming friends.
No donbt longer exists as to the shortness of
the growing crop, and the planter after paying
off provision liens, would do well to store his
ootton for tho spring market Bat ho mast have
money to procure family supplies, pay medieal
bills, and defray current expanses. Here then
Messrs. Knox & Gill propose to releive them
from the rninons rates of Georgia banks, (18
percent.) by storing and holding all consign
ments of eotton, and making liberal advances
npon Ihe same at tho moderate interest of seven
per centum per annum. At the same time the
lowest charges for handling are guaranteed.
We have known this firm personally for four
years, and can vouch for their integrity and
high standing in financial circles. Theirreputa-
tion ia not eonfied oven to this continent. We
tnut a generous pnblic will patronize them
liberally.
ScNsniNE Anns.—After a very hard rain
Tuesday night, and a murky, chilly forenoon,
yeaterday, the sun showed his welcome face
about 2 p. XL, and made a brave rally the rest
of the d«y. It waa good for everybody, and
everything, and especially for cotton. We hope
to seo more of it to-day, and for the next two
weeks. U the bears of Liverpool and New
York who are poshing cotton down, oonld be
made to walk through some of the drowned ont
ootton fields of this section they would change
their tactics. We have great faith that they will
catch It hot within the next sixty days.
Tnx Bankers and Brokers Telegraph Compa

Tnz Tidal Wave Alarm.—We are informed
from tho coast that many of the people are se
riously alarmed about the great tidal wave pre
diction, and are getting ready to retire into the
interior. Tho Wilmington Star, of Tuesday,
says the excitement in North Carolina from the
same cause is considerable. That paper has the
following:
Some excited individuals, we learn, are pro
posing to send their families to the mountains,
while tho attics in *11 tbe three and-four story
build : ngs are at a premium. A gentleman from
ono of the Sounds informs ns that a frightened
market man from that locality returned home
late Friday night from ttis city, where he heard
of the big wave, and went aronnd among his
neighbors, arousing them from their slumbers
and retailing the terrible nows of tbe expected
billow, although it was past 12 o'clock. We beg
all snch to calm their fears, for wo have the best
reasons for believing that the the tidal wave is
a delusion and a snare—in other words, as Prof.
Forshey has it, a cruel hoax—started by some
mischievous wag to frighten people ont of their
seven senses while ho lays back and enjoys the
joke. Agassiz, the learned naturalist, never
made any such prediction. If he did, we should
not believe it.
The Newborn Times also has tho following
on the same subjeet:
We are informed that tbe people living along
the banka and at Benfort, and the entire sea
coast, are, in view of the visit of the tidal wave,
holding prayer meetings night and day, in which
prayers ore made to avert the supposed impend
ing calamity. Many persons are joining the
chnrob, and a general religions feeling prevails.
As no snch wave has ever been seen in the
world since the flood, except in ease of groat
volcanie shocks, and then coming only in very
small areas, it will be safe to assume that no
snch wave will come this year, no matter who
predicts it.
It is now going the ror ads of the press that a
New Orleans man, while sitting over a charcoal
fire frying some fish, was overcome by the
fames, fell with his face in th6 pan, and was
dead when fonnd. This fearful judgment
should be a warning. That man might have
broiled the fish instead of spoiling it, and at the
same time losing his own life. If this para
graph shall reach people who wilfnlly persist in
frying beefsteaks, and shall tarn them from the
error of their ways, the death of the New Or
leans man will not have been in vain.—TV. T.

The editor of the Columbus Son reports the
result of observations made darings recent trip
into tbe eonntry as follows:
A late trip into the oonntry revealed to ns the
fact that the ootton weed has no top crop, and
very little of the middle. Also that very little
of the bottom crop is open where the weed is
i»lt. From the effects of the continuous wet
weather, many of the bolls near the ground, are
rotting and will never open. Tbe open cotton
is principally on the rusted spots where the
leaves have fallen off. Such ootton has but few
bolls, and they are of a dwarfish character. The
weed that has not rested, has taken a second
growth, which has filled the top with abandonee
of forms, snd some blooms. These will all be
nipped by frost and come to naught. This i
ond growth is a great injury to tbe bolls now on
the weed, tending to dwarf their growth and
check their opening.
An election for tax oollector of Baldwin oonnty

We clip as follows, from the Sandersvillo
Georgian of yesterday:
Mrs. Brown, wifo of JohnD. Brown, Esq , of
this comity, died on Friday night last
Tbe infant daughter of Ur. and Mrs. Seaton
Grantland died, after a few hour's sojourn in
this life, on Tuesday last
Fon two days past wo have hod no rain. Tho
continued wet weather has been disastrous to
crops. In many instanoes corn has sprouted
in the fields, the ootton ceased to open, pease
rotted, eto. The prospect is now good for fair
weather and better times. In our travels round
last week we past a number of large and unus
ually thrifty plantationa Not a bale of cotton
to be seen about the screws and presses and gin
houses looked as if but little used.
Tnn people of the county willj doubtless be
surprised to learn that the relatives of Mr. Sea
ton Grantland have commenced a prosecution
against Dr. Carr. A preliminary trial will be
heard toal&y, Wednesday, before Judge Twiggs.
A dnel was fought at GrantviUe, S. O., on
Sunday morning, between Captain Wm. D’An-
tignac, of Augusta, and Mr. John Dell, of St

for some months past It was the result of a
quarrel, Friday night, which ended in D’Antig-
nae’s striking Dell, who thereupon sent his as
sailant a peremptory challenge. The weapons
used were Colt’s navy pistols, and the distance
fifteen paces. Two shots were exchanged, tho
second of which resulted in Dell's being shot
through both legs jost above the knee. His
wonnd is considered a serious one. Both parties
returned to Augusta the same day.

Wo clip as follows, from tho Atlanta Consti
tution, of yesterday:
Misteuiocs Disappearance.—We learn that
Joseph Fry, the clerk of E. F. Blodgett, pur
chasing agent of the Western and Atlantic Rail
road, disappeared on Sunday last and hri not
been beard of since. It is said that he took a
train boned northward Sunday evening. Vari
ous rumors are t float Ono is that he is a ma
terial witness against the Superintendent and
other State Road officials. Another is that it
conld be proven by him that McCalls offered
for $20,000 to bnrn np the State Road books and
leave the State. Where is Fry ? Who shoved
him off?
The MoCalla Case.—The preliminary exam
ination of C. P. McCalls before Justice W. M.
Butt was set down for 8 o'clock yesterday morn
ing at the City Hall. Hon. B. H. Hill appeared
on tho part cf the prosecution, by direction of
Governor Bullock. He ia <b rooted to appear
for the prosecution in all eases of fraud on the
State. Counsel consulted for some two hours
and agreed to an indefinite postponement of the
cose. Mr. McCalls admits receiving the money,
but claims that he can make a fall showing that
he has never appropriated any of it to his own
use.
Committed.—John Coppedge had a prelimi
nary examination before Justice Smith yester
day on the ebargo of shooting at another, and
in defanlt of $500 bond was committed to jail.
From tbe evidence, it appears that on Monday
evening Coppedge r.nd a man named Smith
wore quarreling. Smith had a rock in his hand,
and Coppedge was trying to shoot Smith. Po
liceman John O'Shields, as he neared them,
called npon them to stop, when Coppedge turned
and commenced firing at O'Shields, inuring as
he did so. Coppedge fired three times. O’Shields
fired twice. No one hurt.
The Era, same date, says:
United States District Cocet.—The United
States District Court. Judge Erukine, presiding,
was again engaged aU day yesterday with the
case of United States vs. Simms, charged with
embezzlement of Postoffice funds. The wit
nesses thm far examined are judge Dunning,
J. S. Nall, and John Lyach. The prosecution
yeaterday closed for the present The Govern
ment by its testimony proposes to show that de
fendant, when the office was taken charge of by
tbe present incumbent, failed to account to the
Government in the sum of $23,000. The de
fense proposes to prove that defendant was not
in arrears to the Postoffiee Department, and
that defendant personally and through counsel,
hai repeatedly endeavored to come to a final set
tlement with the Department, bnt withont suc
cess. A number of witneraes are yet to be ex
amined, and it ia believed that tho case will oc
cupy tho remainder of this week.
From Houston County.
Near Byron, September 19,1871.
Editors Tdrgraph and Messenger-. I sup
pose that yon would like to have reports from
every section of the eotton growing eonntry.
The report that I shall make will be a gloomy
one indeed. Rain, rain all the time; torrents of
rain. We have bad rain almost continually for
the laat fonr weeks. Tbe cotton cannot grow
as we have no sunshine. Tbo bolls are rotting
by thousands, and if this weather sbonld con
tinue much longer the cotton crop will be a
failure. Ibe clouds now at this time look
heavy and threatening. I think in ten days
more folly one half of the cotton crop will be
rotten and oonaeqnently totally lost. We have
lost all hopes—don’t expeet to save much of
this crop. We worked bard to make it. Seems
to ns very hard indeed to lose it. Every body
gloomy and disappointed.

Tins Fight in Massachusetts.—'The Wash
ington Republican of Monday lays:
The contest for the Republican gubernatorial
nomination in Massachusetts goes on with una
bated vigor, and shakes the old Commonwealth
to its very foundation. Notwithstanding all the
abase that has been heaped on General Butler,
bis prospect* are said to be better now than
those of any other candidate. Tbe Boston cor
respondent of the New Fork World says that his
supporters turn np in alarming numbers and in
the most unexpected places. The Boston cor
respondent of the Tribune says his success
“alarms bis opponents, and stirs them to the
most active exertions.” His supporters are, it
appears, most numerous in the manufacturing
towns, and they are intensely in earnest in their
determination to make him Governor. He him
self is confident of success, but the Boston Ad
vertiser thinks that be has no chance whatever.
