Esoifed raost Jan..—The Atlanta Constitu tion of yesterday says on Saturday night last Thomas Ware, who has been oonflned in Ds- Kelb connty jail for many months, suoceeded in effecting bis esoape, by boring through tbe doors, taking off looks, eta.

The Sheriff was nBing every effort Sunil iy and yesterday to asoertaio his hereabouts, but without success. Ware, it will be rooolieoted, killed a man named Wam- mock in the upper part of DeKalb county, and was himself severely wounded. At ths last session of DeKalb Superior Court, bis case was taken np for trial and a jury empanneled.— Ware, however, was in such a feeble condition that he conld not go on with the trial, and it had to be continued. Last Week’s Cetlsn Figaros. The New York Financial and Commercial Chronicle of Satnrday reports cotton reoerpts of the seven days ending Friday night, Jniy 11th, at 15.181 bales against 12,423 bales last week, 17.6SC bales the previous week and 19.G72 bales three week3 since, making tbe to tal receipts since the first of September, 1872. 3,533,635 bales against 2.C99.925 bales for tbe rame period of 1871-72, showing an increase since September 1,1872, of 833,710 bales. Tba receipts at the seven interior ports were 2,336 bales against 604 daring the correspond ing week of lest year. Shipments 6,595 against 1,610—stock 31 390 against 10.466. The Chron icle's table of Visible Supply shows 2,537,474 bales against 2.629.259 last year and 2,378,366 the year before, indicating a falling off of 91,785 bales from last year’s supply. Liverpool quotation of middling opiands last Friday night wa* 8}3 against 1C; 1 Ust yesr snd 9@9£I the year before. We copy the following from the Chronicle upon The 8itc*tiox.—Our readers are aware that during tbe past few weeks there has been a se vere oontest going on in tbe ootton market between the operators for higher snd lower prices. The bulla hold a large number of con tracts tor Jniy and /.ecu it, ned believed that there was not encash deliverable ootton tn the country to fill th-m. T) make the matter donbly sane they have been shipping to Liver, pool considerable lota—in faot it is said they shipped all that was tendered to them. As SOfo. here is equivalent to lOji. sold, including only id. freight and tbe nanal charges, the loss to the shipper is over $12 per bale, even pre suming that onr low middling wiU go middling then, which ia donbtfnb Bnt however great the loss ths bolls oonaidered that it wonld be more than made good to them in the higher prices they would secure on tbe maturing con tract* they hold. Tbese facta becoming known to the bears they organized also; first, they re solved to sell no m .re oontraois for July or Au gust unless thev had or could get tha cottou against it; -and seoond, thev agreed to de liver the ootton on all oontrao's sold for July, forolng the bulls to store or ship, or sell and break the market. Here was cer tainly a very square fight, snd whioh way the soaiea would turn, appeared to out siders doubtful. The improving crop reports, however, seem to have given the advantage to the bears. In view of them, all legitimate de mand for ootton oeaaed; spinners did not want It at the ruling prices, and shippers oonld do nothing in the faoe of our higher rates. Hence there was plenty of ootton for delivery, and it tnrned in pretty freely; in faot, street re port says that one of the contending parties is now crying “hold, enough.” Just at this point appears a letter from Mr. B. F. Nourse, of Bos ton, advising spinners, in view of the unsatis factory condition of the goods trade to abnt np tbeil mills, making their summer vacation a month longer than nanal, and intimating that they might sell their present stock of ootton, as it seems to be in inch demand in New York and bny it in at a very much lower rate later on. This letter hss added another element of weak ness to the market, and altoge'hor tbs eitnation at present is a little shaky. Aa legitimate trade, both in raw material and in goods, is suffering from the effects of tbe present cornering opera tions, no outside sympathy ia felt for the losing side. Thera is a moral to oar little story, but we think we will defer it. The Chroniole’s weather reports for tbe week are very favorable—showers, bnt no heavy rains. New Orleans and Mobile report rain on one day. Seims and Mioon had bat one rain daring the week. Golambne had none. Dry weather was reported in Angn-ita and rain was muoh wanted at Memphis. Charleston and Nashville had one rain. Oindition of the oot ton crop generally favorable. Mercury aver aged 86 at Memphis. 90 at Columbus, 87 at Maoon, 85 at Savannah, 86 at Mobile and 88 at Selma. New York ootton market very dull and quota tions reduced Ja. on Wednesday—prioas nomi nal since that dsy. The Griffin News, of yesterday, has the fol lowing: Tn* Cm of Gcirrix Sued for $10.000— The Facts ox Which it is Based —On Fri- day eveninglSBt, a writ, being an action on the oiue for damages, was filed in the olerk’e office of Spalding Superior Oonrt claiming damages to tbe amonnt of ten thontand dollars. The facts are abont these as alleged and aa we can gather them: Some time sinoa a gentleman of this city wanted to hire a dray to do some ser vice tor him, and the drayman being engaged or unwilling to do It, he mounted it and drove off and banled what be wanted. Upon his re- tnrn be was seized by two policemen and hur ried off to ths guard house snd lodged in it While on their way ono of the moat responsible men in the city offered tn give bond in any amonnt or to deposit one hundred dollars cash ns security for his appearance at any time they might demand his presence. These offers were refnsed, and he was locked np, and In an boor alter by order of nemo superior officer of tbo city, he was released and no oharges were ever preferred against him, and thus the matter ended. He now brings this salt, and tbe resnlt will be looked for with considerable Interest, nv deciding whether a man can be locked np on any and every pretax*, and e«pecially how far the city can go in confining a man in tha guard honae. The Atlanta Herald people most bestir them selves, or else thev will lose all the benefit of that “largest circulation.” That paper fails almost every other day to reach this point the day of publication. Tbe Savannah Nears’ Monday edition also fails to reaoh ns the next day alnee the change of sohednle on the Oen- tral Read. AN I*SANK nORDERESA She Carries About With Her and Eats Every Day Some of abe Blood of Her Tie- aim. Tho latest sensation in New Yoik and Brook lyn is tbe discovery of the murderess (Kate Stoddard) of Charles Goodrich, who was found dead in bis honse in the latter city months slnoe, and whoso arrest and confession, with variona other details, have already been fur nished by telegraph. The following phase of the tragedy is fonnd in a New York dispatoh of Satnrday to the Western press: The Brooklyn Eagle says, regarding the ap pearance of the prisoner, it took bnt few mo ments to create among bystanders the impres sion that they were looking npon an Insane w.imon. and thi* woman ia undoubtedly insane, it ordinary indications of lnnacy are to be re lied npon. She sat there for fall half an honr smiling and ohatting p eaaantly, a strange, wild light beaming from her eye all the while. It was impossible to oonverse with her, although she talked sensibly enongb, without being almost absolutely convinced of her insanity. Mias Handley in an interview with a reporter stated that tbe prisoner was aix yean ago a lu natic. and was an inmate of the lonatie asylum, and that imanltv was caused by disappointment in love. Tbe Eigle also says that when the chief of polico asked her to hand him a locket, which is a very large one, she was at first loth to comply, but seeing that resistanoe was use less, she passed it over. On receiving it, the chief took bold to open it “Oh! b« careful, be cartful," said she. “There ia a mineral In that which I don't want to lose." Despite the utmost care, however, a little portion of tbe mineral, as she called it, fell upon the floor and this, to the chief’s surprise, she picked np oromptty and and put it in her month and swal- owedit. “What did yon do that tort” said the chief. Looking steadily into his eye she said: “That is Charles Goodrich's blood,” and ante enough npon closer examination the locket was fonnd to be filled with congealed blood. A few questions elicited the fact that on leaving Goodrich’s home Friday morning, aha had taken away with her a cupful of blood, which had oozed from his brain. This blood oongsal- ed and she had been eating a little every day r.nce the time of the tragedy till now. - Catalogue of Mercer University.

BY TELEGRAPH DAT DISPATCHES. now s Digger “Injun” Dines. A California correspondent of the New York Tribnne writes as follows: Biding through the foot-hills, near Rocklin, I saw a curious and unexpected sight. There are still a few wretched Digger Indians in this part of California; end xhst I saw was a party of these engaged in oatching grasshoppers, whioh they boil and eat. They dig a number of fnnnel- shsped holes, wide at tbe top, and eighteen inehes deep, on a oieared apaoe, and then, with rags and brash, drive the grasshoppers toward these holes, forming for that pnrpose a wide eirole. It is slow work, bnt they seem to de light in it; and their exoitement was great as they neared the circle of holes and the insects began to hop and fall Into them.

NIGHT DISPATCHES. Department or A srricnltaro Report. Washington, July 15.—The reports of the eondi|ion of tbe oottton orop to the Depart ment of Agrioultnre for July 1st indicated as follows: Owing to causes reported ia Jane the crop is generally from two to four week3 later throughout the cotton States. The weather was unprecedentedly wet for a period varying from 25 to 35 days, ending about the 25th of June. The area of cotton planted was sufficient to tax tbe available labor to the ntmost under the most favorable circumstances, consequently the excessively wet weather preventing work and stimulating grass and weeds has not only caused poor stands and a grassy and otherwise unfavorable condition quite genorally, bnt bas necessitated the abandonment of large portions of tbe area planted—probably nearly enough to bring the average down to what it was last year. The reports, with rare exceptions, are despondent in tone and picture a somewhat gloomy prospect. Doubtless the majority fall in with the common tendency to exaggerate the bad effects npon crops of unfavorable weather prevailing in ths present, and to under rate the future chances of recuperation. From these effects the reports show generally that the favorable weather in tho last days of Jane was having the effeot to change the condition some what rapidly for the better. Ootton worms, caterpillars and lice bad made their appearance in small numbers at several points, but aa yet had not occasioned muoh apprehension of seri ous damage. The average condition for tbe ootton States, not counting Virginia, made np from all tho eonnties reported, was 895 in detail. Tbe con dition reported by figures gives tho following result: Virginia—Ten oounlios reporting—average condition 108; two being placed at 100, six above, two below.

Florida—ten eonnties—average 99; three at 100, three above, four below. Georgia—fifty-eight counties—average 94; seventeen at 100, ten above, thirty-one below. Alabama—thirty-six counties—average 85; Bix at 100, three above, twenty seven below. Mississiopi—thirty eonnties—average 83; eight at 100, two above, twenty below.
