No Tnoors to FronT THE Isbiass.—A cry cornea from Arkansas that the Creek Indians are threatening hostilities, and there are no troops to protect set tiers. Ah, tho settlers are only vhito, and ills of no use at all to protect them. 'They will nevor vote tho Radical ticket. The troops are needed in North and South Carolina to fight the Ku klux. Tub Ehzcnoas.—Fennaylvanin and Ohio have gone Radical by increased majorities. There is said to be a chance of a Democratic majority on joint ballot in Ohio. Among tho performances during tiro election in rhiladel. phia was a battlo royal belwcon tho whites and tho negroes, in which the latter handled the po- lico severely. A considerable list of killed and wounded was repoted iu yesterday a editlou. In Texas tho news is tbst the Radicals have thrown out Ihrco counties in order to ro-elcct Clarko to Congress. They say Clarko shall go in if it lakes sll the bayonets in Texas to push him throng)). Wo rather like that. It is plain talking. Oae knows wbat to depend npon. Tnc Canon Caor.—Tire New Orleans Cotlon Exchange Report for October, estimates the crops of the States ss follows: Mississippi, half to two-thirds of last year's yield. Louisians, half to fivo-eighths. Alabama, half to tbree- fourths. Arkansas, half to five-eighths. Tex as, oao-half. Tennessee, twenty five to thirty, throe per cent leas than last year. Georgia, one-half to tbroofomths. 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 jority. Here's the item: The Georgia Slave Troupe of Minstrels were recently affronted by the refusal of the Pitts burg hotels to receive them, on soootut of their Two members finally obtained rooms at the nt Clair House, bnt the rest wero oompelled to lodge at ooloted boarding-houses.
