Monet fob Cnicioo.—Wo are glad to soe that
relief in provisions and niouey is pouring into
Chicago. Our telegrams stale (hat Fisk is run.
ning his relief provision trains on the Erie
Road at the rslecf fifty miles an hour. Tho
foreign advices report that help to the sufferers
will be extendod by sli the great English centres
of trade. All the Northern and Western cities,
great and small, are raising contributions in
money. Tho money relief aggregated over one
million dollars yesterday, of which St. Louis,
Louisville, and Cincinnati voted $400,600. Hut
tho nocoasitiesaro very great. It is certain that
about I.Mi,ooo people nro without food,and gen
orally without a change of clothing at a season
of the year when, in their latitude, tbo rigors
of winter are beginning to be felt. The dis
patches say fivo thousand families of these un
fortunate people aro camped out on tho neigh
boring pralrlcsscd wero without shelter Monday
night, but on Tuesday wero provided with tents.
Tux Guest Fiats or Modebn Tikes.—The
Nashville Union sad American, comparing the
conflagration of Chicago with the great fires of
modern times iu Ameries and Europe, nays that
the great New York fire, December 1C, 165.1,
which presents the nearest approach on this
continent to tho Chicago disaster, consumed 650
buildings and involved a loss of eighteen mil
lions of dollars. The Pittsburg fire, 10th of
April, 1845, burnt twenty-four I-locks contain
ing 1,200 houses of sll kinds, and the loss was
estimated at five millions. The Portland fire,
4 th of Jnly, 1600, cleared u space one aud a half
miles long by a quarter of a milo wide—one-
half tho area of the city, and the lora footed up
ten millions. Of the Columbia and Atlanta
fires Sherman made no report, and tho victims
were without paper aud pencil. The Moscow
conflagration in 1612 cleared an immense track
of alternate palace and hovel, and involved pro-
digeous loss, but, in the cqd, greatly benefilted
the city. So of tho great fire cf London, in
1NCC. The buildings were mostly of wood—the
summer remarkably dry, and the flames were
swept before a powerful east wind. The fire
broke out September fid and raged seven days,
till it died ont for want of mikcrial. Thirteen
thousand two hundred and ninety dwelling
houses, elghty-eeven churches, six chapels, four
bridges, tho city gates. Exchange, Custom house
and Guild Hall, were bnrnt. It is not improba
ble, however, that a smaller value in goods and
bnildinga was destroyed than in the great Chicago
conflagration. This will stand unrivalled ss the
great fire of modern times.
Krport or Ibc 4'olton Yield.
Daring the lstc great fair at St Louis, re-
prescntatiTos from almost all the eotton-pro-
daciag States wen present, and before the pre
miums for the best bales wen awarded, a num
ber of them wen requested to give verbal or
written arconnta of the condition of the crop
in their respective States. From an account
published in the Republican, of Saturday, we
quote aa follows :
Mr. R. E. Hesse, of Georgia, recorded it as
his opinion that the present enp in his State
will be 40 per cent, less than last year. In Ar-
ku sas, the crop is 37J per oent. abort. South
east Mississippi will not exceed one-half of last
year. Alabama gentlemen reported the condi
tion of the cotton crop in the eection of country
tribatary to the city of Mobile: The heavy rains
they aay, and overflows of early sirring, greatly
retarded planten in preparing their lands and
planting their seed, making tire crop at least
three weeks late. The wet weather, succeeded
by a long dry spell, stunted the young plant and
caused it to shed its fruit, and lastly, in aomo
•notions tho worms appeared, almost raining
what little was left by rain and sun. From these
misfortunes me are compelled to place a low es
timate on the yield of this year, and cannot ex-
pact to go over throe-fifths of the crop just
marketed. Missouri reports one-third short of
l»»t year.
In connection with the above, we notice that
Mr. J. F. Mumbai!, of Talbot county, took the
premium—$260—for the second best halo of
cotton grown in Georgia. There eeema to have
been no entry for the beat bale from Georgia,
the premium for which was *500. At least we
find no mention of any award for such a bale.
Stove Houses.—Macon is strongly represented
in the etove busiers.--, end one can suit himself
with almost any improved pattern in use in
Americt. The demand for stoves is a great arid
growiag one “acd yet Here is room." It is
probable that half of our population in Georgia
are still naieg the fire place and Dnteh oven-
good In their day, bat sadly defieient in econ
omy and comfort now. The time is now, or
fast coming, when Caucasian cooks most super
sede the Ethiopian sister, who manifests a
daily growing disinclination to the kitchen.
“It la hard to get cooks," it oa the tongne of
every housekeeper. The three great Stoviate
in Maoon are B. A. Wise, Oliver, Donglase A
Co., and Truman A Green, all of whom address
the public Id the TELEOBarn. At these houses
in any of them.
- on eannot go far amiss
Soctswect Gsoaoia Faia—Next week
the 17lh instant,this Industrial exhibit,oo opens,
and promises to be a com plats aneeeam The
grounds ere level end eligibly situated, in full
view of the Southwestern Railroad. Much en
ergy haa boon displayed by the citizens of da
Houston In the erection end arrangement of
tho bnildinga, booths, etc., which, fur a county
fair, are quite extensive and highly creditable.
Aa their advertisement shows, the managers
have already received a very large number of
entries, end we doubt not the affair will roeflet
honor upon all e-aunrcil. During the Fair
extra trains .will run everyday at half fare, thus
affording ample opportunity for all to attend.
Success to our enterprising friends.
THE GEORGIA PRESS.
The vote at the Savannah municipal election,
on Monday, was 4,173—the largest ever polled
at a similar election, but still over 1,000 lees
then the registration.
Letters for Earnest Fescbke and Fet Chris
tian, Maoon, Camp A Mocks, Albany, and Mias
C. Rees, Americas, are held for postage in tb*
Savannah office.
O. B. Johns, a Savannah constable, was se
verely cut in the head in a Magistrate's office,
on Monday, by one of two men who were rais
ing a first dan row with the officers of Uaa law.
Col. J. R. Davis, late of Wilmington, N. C.,
will reopen the Screven House, Savannah, on
Sunday next, the I51h instant.
John Henry, a negro watchman in a wood
yard, at Savannah, performed a very neat unr-
gical operation on one of his brethren named
Goa Yonng, on Monday night, by shooting off
his knee cap.
Snnrtor Superior Court commenced lest Mon-
day, end was opened with prayer.
Registration at Angnata for the approaching
municipal election, is e dull business. The lists
have boon open for over two months, bat np
to Monday only 468 names had been recorded.
A dog fight was the Sunday sensation at Au
gusts. The stakes were $25, bnt tho pnps
were so equally matched, end “fit"eofl«roo, that
a drawn battle was the result
A martial individual of Angnata, black as to
color, and answering to the historic name of
Pent Jones, shot St one of hie several wires last
Sunday afternoon, bnt made a miserable fail-
nro, and only saocccded in severely peppering
an old African patriarch, named Nelson Evans,
who was browsing around in the neighborhood.
Ono of the Angnata demi-monde, named Fan
ny Walker, had a free ride Sunday night, from
the Union depot to the calaboose, under police
esoort. She was crazy lo como to Macon, bnt
being comfortably drank and refusing to pay
her fare, came to grief as aforesaid.
A correspondent of the Georgia Republican,
an incendiary Radical ahoet published at An-
gusts, has lately visited Athens and Milledge-
villc, Ua, and affirms that the U. L. A. is in full
“operation all over Clarke connty," and that
“Senator (colored) George Waliaoo'a house in
Milledgevilla is to bo a perfect fortress, having
forty stand of arms and as many men quartered
therein."
The editor of tho Sandcrsville Georgian, who
has just returned from a visit to Wilkinson
oounty, writes as follows:
Planters give a gloomy report of (he crop
prospects. The people have used commendable
ceonomy, however, and wbat they make, will
not have to go for guano and supplies as form
erly. We met, also, gentlemen from other
counties, who make pretty much the same re-
port. A gentleman from Jones informed ns
that in some portions of his connty, the yield
of cotton would not bo more than a bale to
twenty-five acres. Of course the crop is not
generally so abort ns that, bnt dreadfully ent
off. The people of Jones do not find their
Swedish laborers unprofitable ns at first antici
pated. They cannot stand the hotann. Our
informant states that this year he bad tried the
native white, tho Swede and the African. The
latter ho found decidedly the most profitable.
Many of tho Swedes have loft their employers.
Wo take the following from tho Milledge-
ville Union, of Tuesday:
Looks Like Business.— Our City Council of
Millrdgeville and the Trustees of the Milledge-
villo Presbyterian Chnrcb High School, a cor
porate body, vie with each other in liberal
offers to the State of Georgia to seenro the
location of the proposed Agricultural and Mili
tary College, either in the State House at
Milledgeville, or in the Presbyterian College,
formerly called “Oglethorpe,” in Bight of the
State House. Tbo City Council yesterday
voted a splendid farm of 500 acres, worth $50
per acre, or $35,000 as a free gift, if tbo State
will iwlablish the College in tiro old State
House; and the Church Trustees have made a
deed of gift to the State for their old “ Ogle
thorpe College" on Midway Ridge, in sight of
the State llonse, and fifty acres of land and
sixteen College buildings—a charming site, tbo
best of all—worth $200,000—worth more than
all tbo land given lo the State by Congress.
Colnmbns bid her heaviest ootton receipts of
the season on Monday—449 bales. She is
5,600 bales short, compared with the receipts
np to same dato last year.
We qnoto as follows from the Sun of Taesdsy:
Tiie Kailbood to Chattahoochee.—Captain
Abe Fry, of the steamer C. D. Fry, tells ns that
the railroad from Qnincy is completed to some
eight miles of Chattahoochee, and the track Ls
being laid at the rato of half a mile per day.
ThU will bring tho cars to tbo river in sixteen
working days. In the meantime, the wharf at
Chattahoochee is being erected at a rapid rate.
It U expected that through rates will lie arranged
to New York and all other points, by tho middle
of next month. This will secure a much loss
tariff on cotton and other freights to Nuw York
from Colnmbns, than now prevails.
The StrnvET cr iue Chattahoochee.—Cop*.
O F. Tril, who has charge of this business, and
who belongs to the United States Coast Snrvey,
returned to Colnmbns, Sunday, from Apalachi
cola, on the steamer St. Clair. Ho brought with
him seventeen men and boys to perform the
mannsl labor noeessary. He will get the aid of
officers from Mobile. Operations are to com-
menee at onco in tho neighborhood of the Mo
bile and Girard Railroad bridge. Mr. Green
Sauls is now building a rsft for tbo expedition,
which will be ready in two or three days. Be-
sides, the expedition has three boats. Tbo
survey is to extend as far as the money will lost
—probably some 200 miles; and the estimates
being made, it depends upon Congress to say
whether an appropriation shall bo made to re
move the obstructions.
Akcrman passed through Atlanta, Sunday
night, on his way to Washington. The people
of CartenviUe will therefore accept our hearty
congratulations.
The flour bill of the editors of the Cartersvillo
Express must be a small affair. They have a
benefactor who owns a mill, and who swaps its
predaeta for their pnffs. Millers in this section
do not ceem to understand tbo ethics of such
transactions as well as Col. Tomlin does.
At the late CarsteravilleFair Mrs. J. W. Har
ris entered some thirty odd articles, and carried
off thirteen premiums.
We clip as follows, from the Atlanta Consti.
tntion of yesterday:
Nabbow Gauge.—We learn that at an election
held in Lumpkin county on Sstnrdsy, the vote
was almost nnsnimona in favor of the connty
subscribing $25,000 to a narrow gauge road
from Dahlonega to Gainesville. Gainesville
also voted on the same day to subscribe $20,000.
This, with the private subscription of over
$50,000, it is thought, will insure the building
of the road.
Singular Accident.—Aa the negro cook em
ployed at the jail was getting ont of a wagon
yesterday, a knife in his pocket came in contact
with and exploded a cartridge. The ball passed
through the fleshy part of his thigh, inflicting
a painful bnt not serious wound.
A mail roots has been established from Car-
tcrsvillo to Hnntsville, Paulding connty, and
Mr. John 0. Griffin appointed postmaster at the
Utter place.
A Little HU or Experience.
John Taylor (colored), who was a delegate to
the New York Republican State Convention at
Syracuse, publishes a card in the New York Son,
complaining of the way he was treated while
there by certain Republicans. He hid been
presented with a ticket for meals and lodgings
at the Globe Hotel, the headquarters of Senator
Conkling, the Grant manager against Greeley
and Fenton. He went to the hotel and—well,
we will let him tell his own story.
After waiting twohonrs for my bed, ex.
peeting, of oonrse, to be treated as the other
gentlemen, I was placed in a side room, and
tea was served to me. I told them that as it
was midnight, I wished my room, and was
oompelled to wait nntil after one o'clock before
I oonld find a place to lie down. The clerk, on
my aoking him for a room, told me that he
euald not aooomniodmte me before others—mean-
ing white gentlemen. I also fonnd a colored
alternate on the other side oompelled to eat in
thn negro quarter, though charged fall fare. I
could not consent to such treatment, especially
from those men who would make me and other
colored men believe that they were honest and
true Republicans. The three meals were paid
for, and I went to the Empire Hotel, where no
distinction was made whatever. Every kind-
icss waa shown, both by proprietors and
servants.”
And here is another item of the same sort.
How these Northern Radicals do lore their dear
black brethren of the South, to be sure! Pitts-
burg. Fa., it may be well to remark U one of
the strongest Radical cities In the United States,
giving usually, something like 5,000 Radical ma

I have since been practicing with the same remedy,
and have been succesefol in a numbor of caees, a
few of which 1 refer to below, as living witnesses
of the virtues of my medicine, some of whom,
like myself, have been cured a number of years,

several physicians, and her Cancer pronounced in
curable, snd I cheerfully recommend him to all
