€lit Slut. G»., Kot. »4, Ml. E-raeJL j..-'-L-aees? We find nothing in the dispatches fair the 1a« two dejs, ex cept the markets, which is worth publi* cation. In feet, we look upon the M tacuUed Prtu as » feeder of the Souths ora press with news, na a greet hum bug. We pity the papers that spend their hard earnings for Us trash. They cac trad# direct with the Telegraph Companies for market news at much lee* rates, and more reliable, as it is well known a small doucier will buy up an associated press agent, and thus the market oan be hulled and beared. Largs merchants knowing this, never trust to press dispatches. “«» . We would like to see the whole Sooth era press cut loose from this humbug and swindle. Let every paper tele graph on its own hook, pud look to ex. changes for general new*. Ths Convention Men.—The official list o: Delegates will be found in anoth er column ; by which, it will be seen,, that about one in five are colored. In* Oen. Pope’s letter to Grant, he informed that magnate that not one in ten would be black. So it appears that experi ence has not improved our Emperor in the gift of propheoy. It was.with much difficulty that we could persuade our compositors to "set V up" this llaek lilt ; but as a curiosity, we thought beet to put the names upon our book of record. * ’> : f! The General appears slow about call ing bis Convention ; and we rather tbiuk his machinery is getting near locked up. The Northern elections, to gether with thick coming rumorß that the illegal and fraudulent election is to ba set aside, may possibly disturb the equinimity of the “hero of the valley.'' At all events, we are not likely to have a Convention before Christmas. We learn that Prof. Ruzar is very im patient at the delay, as he wants to get tha land and mules divided in time to “pitch tho crop" for next year. A Pkizk Fioiit.— Savannah at last lins distinguished herself. She has on tolled her name “way up yonder" on the tablet of famo. She has had a grand prize fight. A hero from Maine, and a dido from New York, Ireland and else where, did the immortal job, according to the “revised rules” of tbs P. R. They bet SI,OOO a 'side on a credit; and the reporters of the papers in Savannah wont to the show just to report it, “you know." The thing passed off “agreea. bl*” all around. The Republican made a full report, which one of the “gentle men” decided was incorrect. Bro- Withington, of tbp Advertiser, then un dertook to correct it, and make it “all right.” The man thst got whipped, won tho fight on n “foul,” after forty fqur rounds. Both bottle holders were “as well qs could Le expected," at lost accounts This is the first prize fight under Georgia nuspiccs on record, and goes far to prove that reconstruction is a fixed fact, and that we are rapidly marching on to that goal of perfection in manners, morals, and muscle, which the Yankee nation has proscribed for us to attain. Wo catno near forgetting that the fighting-ground was at Purys burg, on the South Carolina side, the favorite camping ground of Wheeler’s Cavalry, towurd the last of the war. Tuaxksgivino Day.—Gov. Jenkins, (•e-calied) a well meaning old fossil re main of a past age, haß issued a procla mation for a thanksgiving day on the £Bth instant. We don’t wish to be con sidered profane, and in our poor way we thank God (by proxy) every day, for permitting us to live, which is a doubt ful privilege under the circumstances— though everybody wants to live, even the convict in the penitentiary, who hag outlived honor, character, and every thing he ought to live for ; hut a Nation al or Stßte thanksgiving is generally called for the special purpose of giving thanks for especial favors. It is a day of rejoicing—an universal holliday.— Under this view, we can see no occasion for the proclamation. Georgia na a sov ereignty, has nothing to offer thanks for. Shall we be thankful for negro domina tion ? For military tyranny ? For op pression? For injustice?' For the whole catalogue of burdens under which wo groan ? Or are we to tlmnk God for late Democratio victories? “By their fruits shall ye know them.” On the whole, we have concluded to turnover our part of the wb’-thy Gov ernor’s festival to the freed intin’s bureau and the unprincipled adventurers who have squatted on Georgia soil, for the purpose of subjugating free-born white men, and compelling them to “make brick without straw” for negrodora and Ynnkeedom. Drive on your cart, Mr. Provisional. ISP The Rome Courier saysthat Ma jor J. W. Blance and Captain Thomas O’C.miicr were released from military rrr*»t by order of General Pope, last Snvuiav morning, on their giving a bond of SIO,OOO each to keep the peace. Corroit.—The market on yesterday was a little dull, owing to the New York decline, though none- was ■old under 12jc fbr middling. On Tuesday there was received here 317 bake, a large proportion of which was told at from 12J to 13 to—balance stored. There baa been received this season to date about 6,000 bales, coming from about Bor 10 counties. The high standing and reputation of oar buyers, has cause fed planters to bring cotton here from a grwpt distance. Even Troup county has brought some cotton to Griffin. We here also received c dttm from points more convenient to the Georgia Rail road. Indeed we leel authorized in saying that various circumstances have superinduced trade that we did not ex* pdot. While our quotations ‘have been lower than at other points, the system of grading which obtains elsewhere, has met with little encouragement here ; hence though nor quotations have been low, tbe farmer got more for bis crop, for he got the same price for every bale. From present indications, our receipts for tbe season will reach uear 20,000 bales. » From all tho indications, we incline to the opinion that every man who can do so, should hold up his cotton. We believe that Congress, when it meets, which will be on the 21st instant; will repeal the ootton tax—not because it is right, but because—and wo say it with shame—because the niggers demand it, and’the nigger power is the dernier re sort of Radicalism. The present tax takes from tbe laboring-black man one fifth of his scanty income, and the ne gro, dull and stolid as he is, can see the point. It takes his political influence to save the Radical party, if it cau be sav el. Tbe opposition propose to take off this to*, and the medicine is hound to work before tho Presidential Election comes off. For this reason we believe that the Rndical Congress will tuke tbe first opportunity to remove the onerous tax. They owe it to the negroes, to say nothing of the white folks. While on this subject, we desire to call the attention of Savannah merch ants, and those engaged in tbe shipping business, also, the Central railroad, to the fact that their tariff of freights are oppressive ; and if they do not tnuke some improvement in this matter, Sa vannah will soon lose her prestige as the “First cotton port of the South.”— Charleston and Norfolk, with their rail roads, are preparing to under-bid the Central railroad and the Savannah steamships. We have rooently seen a bill of lading from one of the Now York and Savannah first class ships, charging five dollars per bale from Savannah to New York ; and the Central railroad charges $4 sp. This is outrageous, and unless some improvement is made, the channel of trade between this section and New York, will be changed. The idea of making all the money at one haul, to say nothing of its rascality, is bad policy ; and wo call the especial at tention of Savannah merchants and faa<- tors to this subject, hoping they will in augurate such improvements us not on ly to retiiin their present trade, but to udd largely to it, for if there is anything in Georgia we take pride in, it is our own Queen City, and her excellent citi zens ; her noble character ; her beauty and respectability ; her honor. And among our chief desires, is for her pros perity. A Coxskkvativb Convention.— The Macon Telegraph, and Rome Courier, on the same day—last Tuesday—are out in editorials favoring a Conservative Convention at Mauon. Tbe former names the sth of December, the latter the Bth of January, for tbe time. Como ing from such a respectable source, the suggestion is entitled to respectful con sideration. Our high regard tor the Telegraph in particular, and respect for its judgment, causes us to regret having to differ with it on any political question. In thie case, we can see no good reason, or sound policy, in calling such a Con vection. In reviewing our own politi cal course, we now thiuk of but two grievous errors we have committed -. One was advocating the Philadelphia Convention; the Other was favoring reg istering und voting under the Sherman iniquity. Against our own judgment, wo were induced to fuvor such a course, byjustsuoh old and experienced sta gers as Bro. Sneed. We thought they ought to know better than we, what was best for tho country ; bo we advocated their views, in fact, adopted them.— Time bas shown we were wrong iu both instances. We have now determined to have nothing to do with any political movement, so long as the heavy band of military despotism ia upon us; The ballot box is a mockery, when under control of the bayonet ; and auy move ment’ looking toward an attempt to ex, eroi.se suffrage under military dictation w* shall henceforth oppose. Whenever Providence in ilia mercy, or Radicalism in its clemency, or Democracy iu its power, shall say unto us. “Go ye to the polls and vote free aud untrammeled, for such men and measures as you pre fer—your ballots shall be honestly counted; your not be ia* eulted by abominable oaths ; no bayonet is at yoor back ; you are ft#'— than we will “take stock” in politics again, and not till then. •If, however, Bro. Snead and D win ell want to have a social gathering at Ma con, by all mean* have it. Macon is a good place “to be at.” It is full of whole aooled gentlemen like unto the Telegraph men, Burke and his interest ing famify, Iriend Burr and others ; and greatest of all, Capt. Brown, of Brown'a Hotel. We’ll go to your “sociable," Mr. Speed ; but no more Convention* fur us at preseut. We have have had, and are likely to have, a great plenty thereof; and we are willin'g jttst now, for white and black negroes to enjoy,.a monopoly of this luxury. Delegate* Elect to tllo Con vention.

Why?—Late dispatches inform the public of the military arrest of Col. MiArdle, Editor of the Vickeburg Times. The following article from the Times, is said to be the cause of *the ar rest. We regret that Col. McArdle should suffer hi* temper to get the bet ter of his judgment, so far a* to allow him to indulge in suob Don-diplomatic language; In hi* apportionment, that contempt ible liar and braggart. Major G'n. John Pope—the man of the slapped face— has arranged that 94,303 white men in Georgia may elect sixty five delegates to tbe (Jonvention, while 93,417 negroes may elect one hundred and two dele gates. Thie is on a par with Sheridan. Scho field, and Ord, scoundrels all 1 In Mis sissippi, that ridiculous knsve and' fuel, Edwin Otho Creswell Ord, the Havnau of Mississippi and tbe Dealer of Arkan sas, has bo axranyed that the loyal league is hound to have possession of the State! Taking population as a guide, the white people would be enti tled to forty-three ami a baif votes in the Convention, and the negroes would be entitled to fifty-six and-a-half votes ; but this slight preponderance did not suit Mr. Ord ; the seoundrelism of bay onets was called in to sustain tbe ras cality which had its birth in his brain, or the brains of his advisers ! Instead of tbe negroes having the fifty six and a-half vdt-es, to which their numbers entitled them, and the whites getting the forty-three and-a-half votes to which they are justly entitled. King Otho, with tho aid of his tools and ad visers, apportioned to the uegroes seven ty and a half votes, and reduced the “poor w 1 ite trash” to twenty-nine and a-half votes ! To state the proposition is to blnzon the infamy of fifevet Muj. General Ord andj his advisers to all the world. No one who is Hot innately a scoundrel, and in the service of the loyal league, could have made such ho unjust and infamous an apportionment.

A. K. Seago, Esq- —Sir: In an swer to your question respecting Baugh’s Raw Bone Super-Phos phate, I send you the following facts: I prepared in my. garden, at West End, three squares for Irish potatoes ; on the first I put noth ing j on the second, Guano at the rate of two hundred and fifty pounds per acre; on the third, your Bone Dust, at the rate of three hundred pounds per acre. — As you are not»interested in the quality , I give no particulars of soil or mode of culture, further than to say that in these respects, and in time of planting the squares were equal. The square manured with Guano yielded forty per cent, over the unmanured square ; and that manured with Baugh’s Raw Bone Super-Phosphate seventy five per cent, over tbe unraanured square. It may be that the Gua no was not a pure article. I bought it, however, for Peruvian, and from a reliable house, and at the same rate per pound as the Bone Dust. CM AS. W. T3*3031 AS. nov. 7, 1867.
