Telegraph & Messenger. SUNDAY MOBNING. OCT. 22, 1871. News Ilcma. Tim Ora Polas 8** Estm>.—According to a Gotha dispatch in oar yesterday'* edition, tho German Polar expedition had actually die- ooxered, and entered, the great Polar Sea, and found it free from iee and awanning with whales. The world will await with intense cari osity, a foil narrative of this expedition and a description of this great Polar Sea Dr. Kane’s expedition reports having viewed that great, ailent and unknown ocean from the tall iee- cliffs on its southern boundary. These were the first mortal eyes that ever gaxed upon that great, silent waste of waters. Bet the German, it seems, have won the honor of first agitating its waters with their ship prows, and telling the world howto get there. Tho Hall expedition is superseded, and probably Hall himself will have to come back and get the news. Gust's Eastxsji Torn.-Tho New York Commercial Advertiser says the President's Eastern tour was a continued ovation. His “plain, unpretending style took the honest yeo manry by storm.” To see him without the trap pings of war and coming and talking to them familiarly, says Jonkins “ah it was a beautiful sight; a moat touching spectacle." It Is gener ally a touching spectacle when a great deal of handshaking is to be done, and candidates al most invariably make spectacles of themselves in this way. The yeomanry of both Eut and West, will amount for this eondesoension and simplicity in the usual way, particularly as the first exhibition of it to so seasonable. Ws ob. asm by the dispatches on Friday that the President's popular addresses are as simple as his manners among the sovereigns. m.k.ivt. —We see the following in the New Orleans Times, of last Thursday, and wi-h the wedded pair much happiness: Yesterday was msde memorable and blissful by anevant which occurred at the Jesuit Church in this city. The distinguished author of that most readable of modern publications, “Ktool- Iactions of Fifty Years,” CoL W. H. Sparks, be gan a new chapter of the romantic history of his life, by leading to the altar the young, beauu- fol and accomplished Miss Carrie A. House- mann, of this city. Father Dofour conducting the services and bestowing the blessings of the rhnrcb npon the happy twain. Our most oordiaj felicitations are tendered to the eloquent and graphic author and hia lovely bride. It to announced with no little satisfaction by a Radical paper that “The President took three premiums for colls at tho St. Louis fair, last weok." Grant always bad a taking way with him.—Neui OrUann Tima. IIzxi.tii or New Oolzakh.—Tho Picayune says tho avorago of deaths per weok in New Or leans, during the four hot months, was 115. The population of the city is about 240,000. DastAsnLT.—The New Orleans Picayune com plains that the manufacture of counterfeit niek- eto to on Urn increase, and very serious frauds on the community are practiced by means of them. Is it possible that any human being can be so base as to counterfeit those brummagem five cent pieces ? We can scaroeiy believe it. Let all good men insist that that they shall re main the unmolested and unimitated and inim itable testimonials to the poster age of the Re public. Piiovsn. — Our sablu brothers in Darfour, without knowing it, have near about demonstra ted the Darwinian theory. When they wish to capture a troop of monkeys, they set a kind of iutoxicating beer (a species of African whisky) out under the trees, and the Simians take to it so ardently as to get drunk and helpless, and then are easily done for. That is more human than monkeys are ordinarily thought to be. When the monkeys get sober, we have no doubt they are as earnest advocates of “prohibition” as Ben Butler himself. Cotton is Stkadili Scikiho, day by day, under the pleasure of heavy receipts which ap pear to indicate a largo exocss over bull esti mates- Some writer, in an article published last weok, remarked that nothing was so fatal to a a talk of wheat ns another stalk. We may say that nothing is so fatal to a bale of cotton in tho market as another bale. But we are quite unshaken in tho impression that the crop of 1871 will show a large deficit. It cannot be otherwise, if thorn to truth iu human talk and observation. It to easy to understand how a little crop may come in for a time about as plentifully as a large one. A man can pour as large a stream out of a two as a four gallon can; and the only difference to it will atop the sooner. The necessity of pushing the crop forward to the same this October as it was the last, although we hope not quite ao extensive or urgent. But there is a large amount of accommodation paper which falls due 1st to 4th November and it must be met, whether the crop be large or small. The actual truth will be apparent from what to left behind. Hence, ootton is owning in pretty freely into Uaoon, on a falling market, and the figures so far ahow, perhaps, more the relative amounts of indebtedness to be met than the aotual crop. Dp to and including 21st October last year Ma- con received 22,950 bales, and for the same time this year, allowing COO bales for Saturday, the reoelpts will be 13,310. Columbus, up to Fri day, had rooeived 5,712 bales, against 12,593 the year before. The falling off in Columbus to, no doubt, heavier than anymore crop deficit would oall for. But as long as cotton comes in freely there to ample grouud for tho bears to go upon, and the pecuniary interest they have at stake is a vast one. If it should turn out next spring that there will certainly be a crop deficit of fourteen or fifteen hundred thousand bales, in the face of a generally tound and active trade condition, there to a dear ten cents margin upon every pound sold before Christmas, and ten oents a pound on a crop of two and a half to three mil lion bales is worth fighting for. It would be worth somewhere about $125,000,000. When cotton to pouring into the Southern ports, however, the fears of buyers are easily excited. It is a marvel how faint-hearted a commodity ootton is in the market, and how, by common consent, so many dealers reverse all the conditions of trade and buy on rising and seU on falling markets. Faith is lost and re gained without reason. The tales of cotton commission merchants, in proof of this fact, are amusing. Cotton drops and all, by one oonaent, let go—don't want to touch it at any price. Without a reason ootton reacts, and they pass to opposite conclusions and courses with the speed of a kite. The course of the planter to plain. If he will cot oome in with the crowd and sell his crop when everybody else to forced to sell, and therefore on a failing market, he must get and keep out of debt. Tns Foauos Facrr Toads or New Yob* Citt. A late number of the New York Commercial Ad vertiser gives some iotaresting statistics con cerning this trade. Of bananas that city im ports, annually, from 75 to 90 cargoes from Baraooa and Jamaica. Each cargo averages about 3,500 bushels, and each to ballasted with from 5,000 to 7,000 ooooanuta. Of West India oranges—the importation of which commences October 20th and ends March 20th—the Adver tiser does not give the exact figures. The duty on this fruit is 20 per cent, on the gold value of the cargo, while the duty on other foreign fruit to only ten per cent. The wholesale price of oranges on the dock to from $7 to $15 per bar- roL Of pineapples about 73 cargoes, averaging 4,400 to each cargo, arrive annually. The wholesale price to from $7 to $12 per 100. Of ooooanuta about 100 outgoes are annually im ported, averaging 45,000 to each cargo.

He has nineteen boarders—thirteen blacke and six whites. We clip these items from tbe Cnlbbert Appeal, of Friday: Removed to Mac jn —Colonel H. H. Jones, formerly editor of this paper, and now one of tbe editors and proprietors of tbe Macon Tele- a oath AKD M essences, left With bis family on Wednesday morning for their new home. CoL Jones is a citizen whom our city can ill afford to part with. Bo was always olive to the ma terial welfare of the community, and was always found in tbe lead in public enterprises. He leaves a vacancy in business, social and church circles which will be felt for a long time; and the good wisbesand fervent prayers of many an honest heart go with him, his amiable wife and courteous, lovely children, to their new field. We congratulate Macon upon this valuable ac quisition to her citizenship, and heartily wish for the Colonel a full fruition of his brightest hopes in all tbe relations of life. Ltattno.—The large force of Messrs. Lyons A McLendon which has been engaged on the Beinbridge, Cuthbert and Columbus Railroad for sometime, passed through the city on Mon day. They go to work on the Griffin and Uadi- son Railroad. We learn that the force of CoL Griffin, recently on the Brunswick and Albany Road, will also proceed at once to Griffin to work on the Griffin and Madison Road. The gin bouse of Mr. W. D. Lynch, who lives in Musoogee county, on the Southwestern Rail road, was burned Wednesday night, together with about eight boles of seed cotton, a ootton press and the seed of thirty bales previously ginned. Loss $3,000. Columbus to to have a fire alarm bell weigh- ing 4,000 pounds, with tbe names of the officers of the Fire department engraved upon it. Mr. Cranson Williams fell forty feet into a well, at Gainesville last Tuesday, and instead of finding Truth, he came out with a couple of sprained ankles. Which he got off light, in our judgment. One hundred oonvicls and forty mules and carts passed through Gainesville, last Wedm day, going to work on the Air Line road. They were part of Grant, Alexander A Co.’s force, and have been working on the Cattersvilie and Van Wert road. We find the following items in tbe Indian Springs Mirror, of Friday : Seniors Accident.—On Monday last a little daughter of Joseph Wise, of Factory Hill, in this county, fell from a tree while gathering chestnuts, and was severely injured. She fell taoout thirty feet upon a fence, and was carried home with a broken thigh, an arm broken about the wrist, a fractured jaw, teeth knocked oat, and generally bruised from head to feet Fib*.—We regret to loam of tho destruction, by fire, of the storo house, wiih its contents, at Hodge's mill, in this county. The store room bed undoubtedly been broken into and plun dered. Of this several evidences were manifest, when the fire was first discovered, at daylight on Monday last. Nothing in tbe building was saved. Tbe loss is estimated at $3,000—a small portion of which falls upon the Messrs. Morgan, manufacturers, who had a furniture wareroom in tho bnildiDg. No insurance. Elberton county does not need an emigration society. A lady up there gave birth to three girls, one day last week, etch weighing seven pounds. One H. E. GarJer, a gentle typo, is adver tised, at cheap rates, in the last Washington Gazette, of which paper he has been foreman for (wo months. Ha vamosed last Sunday morning with a nice suit of clothes, obtained on credit, and a double-barrel gun, and a case of snrgical instruments belonging to the editor. He was afterward arrested, but made his escape. Tbe Powder Mills property at Augusta was sold on Thuisday, tho city being tho purchaser. There were 131 acres of land and two buildings, one of them very large and C06tly. Tho price paid was $10,300. Under tbe head “To Ran Around Columbus,” the Columbus Enquirer of Friday colls the at tention of tbe citizens of that city to the follow ing paragraph from the Opelika (Ala.)

Chase, in when the door is shut ~ Central City Fnlr Grouutiw, We paid a visit to the Toir Ground oa Satur day afternoon, and found a multitude of oar- pent era and laborers giving I he finishing touches to everything. Our ubiquitous Mayor was on baud as usual, planning, directing ar.d assisting in the endlees details of the exhibition. He authorizes us to announce that the Central City Park will be in perfect readiness for the Fair of the Georgia Agricultural Asssociution on Mon day, the 23d inst. The amount of Lbor accom plished inside of three months, is amazing to behold. The buildings are all constructed and arranged with excellent taste, and form a most imposing architectural group. Under the magieal fingers of the gentle ladies of the oommittee, Floral Hall will present an Arcadian seene of verdure and le inty. Wreaths of evergreens adorn the walls aud arches, and the flowers, fruits, eta, will be arranged with exquisite taste and effect The musical stand is fashioned like a Chinese pagoda and to a beautiful structure. We are glad to state that the magnificent band of the 2d U. S. Infantry arrived last night in charge of Lieut Gallagher, Adjutant of the regiment They will discourse the sweetest music every day daring the Fair, and will add much to the enjoyment of the spectators. Seven hundred and throe entries were made in eight hoars on Saturday. The great pedes trian, Weston, arrived last night and will walk on Monday afternoon. Fine stock are constantly pouring in from every part of the Union, and the prospect of a grand suooees for the exhibi tion to indeed most flattering. The lateness of the hour prevents a more ex tended notice of our visit to the grounds. Tbe Press Gang Coming In. We were pleased to greet in our sanctum last evening Mr. Daniel E. Ganet, of the New York Evening Express, and CoL Minor, who repre- aents the Nashville Union. Them gentlemen express themselves delighted with the appear ance of the Fair Grounds, and will, doubtless, furnish fall reports of the exposition. CoL Styles, too, of the Albany News, is in town, and wo look for a numerous attendance from the representatives of the press. To one and all we extend a hearty greeting, aud cordially ten der tbe freedom of our offioe and sanctum to our brethren of the quill. .Senator Carl Sclinrz In Louisville. Upon a very general invitation from the lead- ing citizens of Louisville, Senator Sckurz made a two hours' speech before on immense assem blage in that city last Wednesday evening. The speech is reported at length in the Courier- Journal of the following morning. It is on ar gument to show the necessity of a new party arrangement—to show between the conflicta of exiating party organizations the substantial interests of the people and tho country fall to the ground. The Journal says of it: The appearance of Carl Schurz at the Court house last evening may be fairly described as an ovation. Tbe crowd was immense; there was a good deal of fighting for standing room and thousands were turned away. The Senator spoke nearly two hoars, and Ueld his hearers well in hand from first to last. To describe his speech as a clear-cut and superb manifesto—as a brilliant and luminous statement of popular grievances—and, in some sort, as a prohecy, is merely to echo an almost universal opinion, realized all that we anticipated in our article of yesterday; and if there should be a Carl Schurz in every State of the Union we might seriously look to see tbe dawning of that politioal millen nium so ardently desired by pitriotio men. That snch emanations are of prodigious account in tho long run of political reformation cannot be denied. How far this partic ular emanation may bo applied to mediate praetieol account remains to seen. Wo shall not discredit it by a word of criticism. There it stands, and the reader can judge it for himself. It is fall of troths, bravely and earnestly delivered. Tbe presence of the Senator U self-possessed and gentlemanly; his manner deliberate and scholarly; bis English tbe purest type. There is scarcely any accent disoernable in his free and hearty use of the most genuine Anglo-Saxon. The impression which he made npon his bearers was very marked, and he goes away from ns leaving be hind him thousands of friends, who join with hisenthusiastieGerman fellow-citizens inthank- ing him for his manly and statesmanlike utter ances. .

He has, we are told, refused to issue warrants in favor of the Insane end the Deaf and Dumb Asylums—both of whioh ore entitled to tbe money, and ought to be paid. We clip the following from the LsGrange Re porter, of Friday: Judge W. M. Reese, of Washington, State Sen ator elect from the 29th District, has been suggested as a fit and proper person to preside over the deliberations of the Senate ; and CoL J. II. Smith, of Columbus, os a suitable person to be made Speaker of the Honse. GapL Dun lap Scott, of Rome has also been suggested for tbe latter position. No better selection could bo msde than of Judge Reese. He to a repre sentative man of the intelligence and patriotism of the State. Firm and discreet, moderate and conservative, yet always adhering to principle and to the right, he will, it to to be hoped, be unanimously supported by the Democratic Senators for that position. We hope and trust no opposition will be offered, that the honor may be conferred aa a just tribute to uncring ing adhesion to principle and to the highest political and judicial integrity.

We have not, at this early moment of writing, sum .lent facta to justify us in giving the exact fig ures of our lo*s in tbe late terrible fire at Chicago, but the following card from the Cincinnati Com mercial, of Oct 10th, we trust, will bo ample to allay any fears that may have arisen : A Statement from the Andes Insurance Co. Clifton, October 9 10.30 p.m. I have tonight carefully examined all Chicago insurances in the Andes Insurance Company of Cincinnati. We shall authorize onr adjusters to draw npon uu at s:ght for every correct claim as rapidly aa ascertained. Our loaeea by this great calamity are a considerable figure, but nothing to cripple ns. •The hear of duty its npon ns, and wo shall meet it in tbe lion-hearted minner that the occasion re quires.
