Wilc Smith Is probably a bitter Georgia appointment than tbe a-lmin- istratioo has yet made.

Then, again, we know be belongs to a large and widely known family, whereas we had every reason to suppose that Grant would have ap pointed a Lynn or Boston nigger to represent the Stats of Georgim in these premises. Fnrther more, Lewis Walu Smith is oonceded by the Tribune to be the ''leading spirit of the enterpri m," or “the bead of the Philadelphia Bing,” which the Trihnno rays has been packed to manage the affr r at the expense of oertain outlawed State* like Georgia. That adds to car satisfaction. Wo want Wain to wall no more.

The Chronicle table of visible supply foots np 2.504.110 bales against 2.571,337 last year, snd 2,312,053 the year before, showing a deficit on last year’s supply of 07,221 bales. The Chronicle'* weather reports for tbo week are favorable. There has been no excess of rain, and in some parts of the ootton region more rain would be desirable. At New Orleans there were light showers two days; at Mobile onthreodays; at Montgomery one day. At Belmi It was warm and dry all the week, and crops need rain. At Mao on there was no rain. At Oolnmbns snme, bnt not enough. At Ss - vannah, warm and dry. At Angnsta a very little rain. No rain at Memphis. At Nashville three light shuwers. The crop ia developing promisingly everywhere, and is generally clean. Caterpillars have appeared near Selma and Montgomery, but with dry weather the Chroni cle apprehend! little or no mischief from them. The merenry at Memphis averaged 81; Colum bus 87; Macon 86; Savannah £5; Mobile 84; Montgomery snd Selma 80. Tbe first btle of new ootton reached New York on the 16th and wsa sold by motion in front of the Cotton Exchange st thirty-six cents per pound. It was shipped from Browns ville.

The ootton receipts np to last Friday were 3,552,169, and there remained five weeks of the ootton year. Fifteen thousand bales a work will, perhaps, not be an exoeasive estimate, and that will give 90,000 bales. To this add 200.- 000 bales for overland and Southern consump tion. snd the crop of 1872 3 will foot op 3,842.- 169 bales, which Is an excess of 867,818 bales over the crop of 1871-2. Aa Mr. Pipken observes, “who won'.d a lhnnk It 1” And last year was a poor crop year and a caterpillar year, too. All the month of An- guit the caterpillars were moving In countless legions, breeding a pestilential stench with their rioting-* and their riotous carcasses. That cotton crop we in the Sontb all knew was going to be “mighty short,” snd that was the reason why futures stung ns so badly. The prospect now is much fairer than It waa last yesr, and nobody dares say abort crop. In addition to this there has been an increase in the cotton area, and an inoreaje of nearly fifty per oent. In the quantity of fertilizers applied. What is going to ba the result t Why it seems to qs a man without going beyond the limits of prudent anticipation might add from five to eight hundred thousand bales to the crop of 1872-73, snd look for somewhere between forty- throe and forty-sli hundred thousand bales ss the crop of 1873-74—that is to say, unless some great accident shall befall the mitering crop.

Bat now, to lav aside ail badinage, and apeak tbe words of trnth and soberness, we are constrained to say, that no unfortunate class of 8ooiety are more slandered or wrongly dealt with than old maids. Many of them, from motives of unselfish duty, hare beoome so from choice. Others are the victims of the perfidy of man, or nnreqnlted affection.

We hive known ladies of this olass, rear large families of orphans to a useful matcrity, and dispense happiness them selves to all who come within the radios of their infinence. And jnst here, this somewhat prolix article canhive no better conclusion than by the nar ration of a little aneodote connected with one of the ladies referred to. In her, some princely and cultivated gentleman, or even Buchanan, the baohelor inmate of the White House, lota a wife who, for gentleness, wit .and intellect, has few peers In the Union. Now well ad vanced in life, her very presenoe ia still sun shine to every cirele, while no hidden ating poisons the wit which constantly sparkles in her conversation. Sometime since, two of the immates of the house in which she resides were married ladies, whose husbands had bean absent on business for several months. At length, however, the day was appointed for the return of each, snd great was the joy thereat. Bnt sad to say neith er came when expected, from eanaes unavoida ble, and their gentle partners, inconsolable, actually wept themselves into a spell of sick ness. Tbe cbeerfal maiden mentioned, rallied them thns: “For shame that the temporary absence of yonrlorda should »1H let yon thns se- riouily, when I have been waiting for my hus band lo! there fifty yeart.

The farts and figaresof oar Little Bock cor respondent op the relative stability of the two race* at the Son'll, says tbe New York World of the 19 Ji, are hopefully snggeetive for the fntnre of that section. The BepnbUean party has done its almost to <iia«c m'nate the belief at the North that the negro race is differentiated from the white race mainly by a black skin and a previous condition. The- belief fonnd accept ance with those who wished to accept it, and it waa /earad for a time, even by many who did not accept it at all, that the emancipated and enfranchised negroes wonld in some sections maintain the ruinous supremacy into which they bad been elevated. Bit the experience of the past eight years has demonstrated, what was very well known before, that the defeots of the negro character are such aa to prevent the race from profiting by the opportunities which have been thrown in its wav. The revelations of the oenans in regard to the vital stains of the negroes have alreadv been considered in the columns ot tbe World, but it will not be amiss again to notiee more particularly certain of the points brought out by onr correspondent. It has been fear'd that the negroes wonld concen trate in the far Sontb, and ooDvert the Gnlf States into negro republic!. Bnt the ninth oensna shows that cotsitba'anding the Urge emigration of negroes to Louisiana since the do*e of the war, the colored population of that State declined from 369 020 in 1860 to 364.210 in;1870, whereas to the preriona decade there vu an incresee of about 90 000. Mississippi shows an iocrea of only 6.000 in its ooiored population from I860'a 1870 against on increase of 127,000 in the. previous decade. The negro popnUt'onof 8onth Carolina fell off G.OOO be tween 1 WO and 1*7 ). notwithstanding the in viting praepeot wh-.-'i 'hi* S ate is supposed to hold ont to the oolort i immigrant. Bnt while the negro popniation shows a con stant tendency to derline, tbe white popniation of the South is steadily increasing. From 1860 to 1870 the white population increased 25 per Cent., and now that tbe Radical press has left off manufacturing stories of Enklnx and other ont rages, a steady til" of < m'grit ion he. set iu, which promises to make the rate of increase mnoh greater for the present decada. Tbe ex- aot volume of this immigration cannot be as certained. bnt that it ia considerable there can he no question. Mach of it proceeds from tho Northwest to tbe Southwest and to the Southern Atlantto Sta'ea. There Is alsd a steady emigra tion from the M'ddie S atea to Virginia and North Carolina, both of which States also reoeive oonstart accessions of popniation from Earope. Bat the present volume of im migration to tha Son'h docs not give, per haps, my reliable indication of what that immigration is likely to teoome within the next five years. There is hardly a planter at the Scnth who is not willing to sell a large por tion of his land at prices very far below Us in trinsic value, and hence this section offers ad- vantag'S to the agricaltnrist of small capital rarely presented el-e where. Tha oheapnesa of the lands and the advantages of the soil and ciu-iate of the Sonih w II io all probability be anfficiect indnoement. to a'tract increasing im migration from the o'her 8’atee of the Union, where the lands are dearer and loss prodnotlve. The presence of the negro la an obataole to the influx or white popniation, bnt not ao great as mast be encountered by the immigrant who oc cupies nneettl-d territory. Moreover there is not a St Hein tbe Sonih bnt h»a many inviting diet riots wherein the negroes are comparatively few, and it is to these distrieta principally that white immigrants go. Year by year the ne groes appear to be seeking the sea coasts and the river-bottoms. leaving the upper and more salabriona oonntry for the ooonoation of the white man. In this way even Snath Carolina will probably be released from the savage rnie nnder which afae ha! been placed by Republi can recon-traction. How long it will take to reach that oonanmmation cannot be told; bnt it is evident that the deoline of negro suprem acy at the South is progressing with startling rapidity.

He was a Germ tn gardner, and went to work for a gentle* man named Eisman, near Memphis, and on one the roads leading to town. Wjfzal was less than thirty, and a aober, industrious man. Mr. Eisman died, leaving a widow, Lena Eisman, sixty-four years old. and Wilzsl remained in the employ of the widow, training her roses and trimming her vines. At length he took a strange fancy io fall desperately in lova with the widow. He told her of hia love, and she laughed at him and tried to cure him of the delusion. He wonld not cure, and she finally told him it conld not be, and asked him to mention the subject of marriage to her no more. And Witzcl oontinned training the widow’s roeea, and trimming her vines, while an irrepressible love w.ts bnrating hia heart. She pilied him. bnt eiold not help him ont of his tremble—and the more she pitied him the harder he loved. One morning Witrel was in the garden hoe ing vegetables among the widnwi’s rosea and Tinea, and tbe widow was in the parlor playing the piano. The fragrance, and the mnsio. and the mated birds in the balmy trees bathing in the dew drops of the morning intoxieatod the solitary heart of Christian WilzeL The sounds of the piano ceased, and the widow rang the bell for breakfast. Ths gardener dropped hia hoe and obeyed tha summons, for there was a marry jingle in the beff. The widow Eisman vu ringing in the doorway when Wiizel ap peared and Baid: “I hoard the bell, and am glad to find yon in each good hnmor.” The Vidov replied: “Yes, come in; let ns sit down X S_ _ - ‘ — a - — T L na -Aa ke i let n* t sIV Spanish Distresses—Heron or the Mavy, etc Madbid, July 22.—The crews or tbe Spanish man-of-war Almanz t, Yittoria, Mendez, Nnnex and Fernando ei Gatolieo, have revolted. .The government has proclaimed there vessels plra'es. authorizing their capture by any foreign power on the high seas, and their treatment a! pirat; s.

WasmsoTON, July 22.—Attorney General Williams to day transmitted to Aoling Secretary of State J. C. B Davis hia cfficial opinion in the ease of Carl Vogt, a PrnBaian oi'.iz n, charg ed with murder, arson and robbery committed in Brussels, and a fngitive in tbe Uaited States. The question submitted to the Attorney Gen eral was: Can the German Government right fully demand the anrrender of the fngitive, nn der the treaty of Jane 16. 1852? The Attorney General Bays tbe only point in controversy appears to be the following: Whether or not, aoeording to the tree intent and meaning of said treaty, the orimea com mitted by Togt in Bslginm ware oomuitted within the jnriadio'ion of Germany. The Attorney General, in a leng'hv opinion, reviews all the faots in (he oase, and concludes as follows; I have oarefn'ly rea 1 the elabe r ,t„ opinion of Jndce Blatchford upholding the jurisdiction in this case, transmitted in yonr letter, bnt with diffidence and regret I am oompelled to dissent from hia views. They do not appear to me to be aonnd in principle or anstiined by anthority. Able writers have contended that there wob a reciprocal obligation npon nations to surrender fngitives from jnstioe Though now it seems to be generally agreed that this is a matter of comity, bat it is to be presumed, where there are treaties npon the anhjeot that fngitives are to be surrendered only in certain eases and npon the terms specified in anoh treaties. Conform ably to what is above stated I make a negative answer to yonr question. The Brooklyn Trust Company.

Dzs Moi.n-zs, Iowa, July 22 —An extraordi nary and daring robbery oa a railroad train was committed last night four miles west of Adair, on the Chicago, Itock Island and Pacifio Kail- road. At this point there ia a sharp curve in the road, and here the robbers placed heavy timbers across the track to throw the east bonnd passenger train off. Tbe engineer, John Raf ferty, saw the abstraction in time to reverse the engine and apply the air brake; bnt the robbers observing this fired at him from an ambush and shot him dead. The engine strnck the logs and went off the track into a ditch, and waa followed by one of the baggage cars, the others remaining on the track. Several passen gers were bruised, bnt none were seriously hart. The robbers, who were masked, after open ing and emptying tbe safe of the Eipress mes senger of its contents, rode off on horseback. Among tho passengers were thirty Chinese stu dents en rente to Springfield, Massachusetts. Further Account ot tbe Kail road Robbery. Cbicaoo, July 22 —A speoial dispatch from Das Moines gives the following account of the attAck on the train of tbe Chioago, Book Island and Pacifio Railroad: Last night the train left Council Bluffs at five o’olock with fonr coaches and two sleepers in the rear—the sleepers being filled with a company of ariatooratio Chinese on their way to New England colleges. There were, also, two baggage and express cars, in whioh were the through California mail and express matter, consisting of nearly two thou sand dollars in the express safe and three tons of bullion. When about sixty-five milea west of Dea Moines, at about 8 o’clock, at a sharp curve in an isolated spot, no house within thirty milea in any direction, the train going about twenty miles per honr, the engineer, John Rafferty, ■aw suddenly one nil removed from its place, abort sixty feet in front, and instantly reversed the engine and applied the air brake. When in tbe act bullets came pelting into the engine like hail. , The engine ran into a bark and turned over, throwing ont tbe engineer, John Rafferty, and the fireman, tbe former falling on the lat ter dead. It ia supposed Rafferty waa killed by the cooensaion, as no bnliet wounds were fonnd on his body. The fireman escaped nnhnrt. The train, being very heavy, ran abort one hnndred feet and stooped. The baggage can doubled, and were badly smashed. As soon as the train stopped, several large, athletic men, masked in fall Ka-Klax style, appeared at the express ear, in which was con ductor Wm.

Two of the robbers meiohed down the train, threatening to shoot any person who showed hia head, say ing, “Gat down out of flight, damn ye, or we will shoot yon.’* The robbers then fook abcat $2,000 express mzney, opened the mail sacks, bnt took no let- tvrs mounted hor«*es and rode off across the prairie in a southern direction, the whole being done in less than ten minntea.

Tho Capture of tho Spanish hqnndron— How it was Done* Bayonne, July 22 — News received here through the Carlists concerning the - insurrec tion at Carthagena, throws additional light on the defection of the Spanish squadron in that port, which was made a subject of a government decree and a vote in the Cortes yesterday. The Insurgents after gaining control of the oity, seized the Gastello, a strong fort on the west side of the harbor, less than a thousand yards from the entrance, which It commands com pletely. This gave them control of tho two tower batteries on the ehore, at the month of the harbor. They posted the red flag of the commnne over the fortifications and summoned the squadron lying in tho harbor. The crews were in sympathy with ths Insurgents and the vessels foil into their hands without opposition. The ohief command is now entrusted to Pasas, who led the insurrection in the naval arsenal at Favial, in the province of Corunna, some months ago. Tho vessela thus taken by the insurgents are the Viotory, an iron-olad of 25 guns; Petram, iron-clad of 40 guns; Almaga, iron-olad of 48 guns; and the steamers Fernando, El Cata- lizo, Ferralana and BlaSco Garay, not classified. Tho four vessels first named are among the finest in the Spanish navy.

The minority have declined to withdraw again from the Cortes. Heat Coatlnnes* London, July 22.—The extraordinary heat continues withont abatement. Queen Victoria has incurred the criticism of MLs Kate Field, tho vivaoious and ruetciloes correspondent of the Tribune, for eating Home sandwiches and drinking a glass of beer during the review in honor of the Shah, and never effariog a bite or a swig to her illustrious guests, the King of Kings and the Czarowitch, who looked wistfully on while Her Majesty re freshed her-elf. Miss Kate regards this simple act aa a breach # of' decorum, particularly ns as luncheon *wtw just over and dinner ap proached. The entire prooess was observed through a field glass of immense power, and seems to have secured the undivided attention of the correspondent in preference to the red coata of the soldiers, usually a powerful magnet for feminine eyes. To the Eaglish people, however, the Qieon’s appetitj and her perfectly mconce.’aed manner of satisfying it, must be a source of gratifi cation. It indicates excellent health, an appreciative swallow and sympathetic tastes with her subjects, since English men and women are reared from mfanoy upon just such nutri ment as the Scotoh gillie Joha Brown handed up ou a salver. Jeffrey once said of Goethe’s .s*o::es tli »t they had throughout the odor of the sausage, there was such a vast amount of food consumed by the characters; a similar distinction attaches to the Briton, whose beef and ham pies and sandwiches and bottled ale are ss inseparable as his ruddy health, his wholesome corpulence and his solicitude for his stomach upon any and every occasion. To be hungry is the lot of royalty as well as oommon folk.*, and taking everything into consideration the Qaeen’s punishment of bread and meat and beer will hardly be regarded as tho worat of- feiye she oould commit.—Boston Post r F yon feel dun, drowsy, debilitated, havo fre quent head 1 che, mouth tastes badly, poor appetite, and tonguo coaUd, you aro suffering from torpid liver, or “biliousness.” and nothing will cure you so speedily and permanently as DR.
