Tump Ponder’s roan mule shook her fiat in the face of auother nigger Satur <lhj before last, ami the nigger felt too languid to resent the insult. The coro ner swears he won't sit on such a plain case. Sawyer, of the Commonwealth-Herald. says that his paragraph explanatory of his charge against Col. A. J. White is not hy any means to be considered as a retraction. I lie Count Johannes B Gormannc bit birly denies that he is about to retire to 1 onnessee for the purpose of marrying. Ihe denial is unnecessary. Not even a Tennessee maiden would marry a man with a carbuncle in full bloom. There is one man in Atlanta who thinks the Holly Water Works are no humbug. He was engaged in joking with one of the nozzlemen at the trial, the other day, and the stream struck him full in the stomach. He says he thought at first that his companion hail run a crowbar through him, but he soon discovered it was nothing but a few drops of water. Atlanta now wants drinking fountains scattered about the city. It is thought this will bringdown the price. Several citizens of Columbus are in vesting in Florida. Hendricks ami Pendleton, it is sup posed, will be at the State Fair on the 18 th of October. Marietta celebrated the sixth anniver sary of her cornet band recently. The Laurens county negroes who re cently resisted the officers of the law ■rere arrested on the affidavit of a colored tnan, who swore that under the pretense of organizing a debating society, the blacks were conspiring to murder the whites.

An ocoaHional stabbing affray varies negro life in llrooks county. The Albany Neirs says there has been no rain in that section sinco the 22d of August. Asa consequence, everything is suffering for rain. A trunk, the contents of which are valued at three hundred and fifty dollars, belonging to Mrs. ltussell, of Atlanta, was recently found in possession of a negro in Columbus. Newnan boasts of an old gander that tri<n to pump water for the llock of which he is the leader. A negro in Fayette county has been convicted of an attempt to commit rape, lie will be hanged on the Hth of October nex t. Miss Kate ISoykin, eldest daughter of ltev. T.

Ho got. In the paragraph yesterday relating to Uncle Steve Pruitt, we should have woven in tho name of the Gainesville Houthron as authority. Nevertheless, wo are per fectly willing to voto for Uncle Steve. A correspondent of the Quitman Re porter gives that paper the particulars of a very lively benr hunt on Cherry Lake last Tuesday. The Atlanta Grange persists in con necting lli Kimball with tho Atlanta Herald. We trust, for tho sake of Georgia journalism, that this is a mero freak of the Granges imagination. The rust has got in the cotton in Troup county, which causes—or ought to cause the LaGrauge Rejwrter to remark: '•Put not your t-rusl in cotton.” The Now York Graphic publishes afmo picture of President Ralston, of the Hank of California, taken from a photo graph in the possession of Col. U. A. Alston, of the Atlanta llerald. Tho LaGrauge Reporter remark*: “Prof. John F. Bonuell, of Macon, fend a son of the late distinguished President of Wesleyan Female College, has been elected to the chair of Natural Science in Emory College, Oxford. We are glad to hoar of the promotion of our friend. Ho is unquestionably one of the best scholars, of his age, in tho State.” All of which wo most heartily endorse. Col. James L. Sweat, of Clinch county, Clerk of the House of Representatives, will shortly remove to Gainesville. North Georgia will gain a valuable citizen. The Northern Methodists, with their glory-to-God-political circus teut, are hip podroming around through Georgia sow ing the seeds of sedition in the simple minds of the negroes. The last heard of them they wore camping opt in LaGrauge. Bishop Haven, of the Northern Metho dist Church, is an avowed promoter of the “amalgamation” of tho races, which is only another name for miscegenation. We thought as much when we heard that the miserable old wretch- allowed buck niggers to rub up against his daughter in Brunswick and Atlanta. Reed, of the Rockdale Iteguter, rises and remarks : “ The Savannah News, having its own pet candidate for the Governorship, is properly severe upon its contemporaries whenever they allude to the subject." As the Colonel is a steady subscriber to the News, perhaps he will be kind enough to give the name of our “pet candidate" to the public. Men can be found in Gainesville who •will kill as harmless a thing as a rattle snake s pilot. The Gainesville boys are making things hop with their Alabama slings. Thus the LaG range JitjxtrUr: “You citizens of Troup county who have been so indignant at the treatment received by Jefferson Davis from the Winnebagoes. remember that you get your meal and meat from those people. This is more to be lamented than the insult to Mr. Davis.” Gainesville want* to break dirt for the foundation of a camp ground. The Eatonton Messenger says that a drunken negro was thrown from a buggy near that place recently and killed. Burglars are playing an engagement in LaG range. Rev ill, of the Meriwether Vindicator, having, in spite of all wo could do, en cased himself in the baggy breeches of the Hon. I’otiphar Peagreen, of Tugaloo, now finds it convenient to seek recrea tion. This is poetical justice. The corn crop in Troup county is a failure. The Commonicealth-Herald has a very harsh paragraph about that vile old rip, Bishop Haven. This satisfies us that Sawyer is not influenced by Hi Kimball, for he is one of the pillars of the North ern Methodist Church. Rome is gloating over a night-bloom ing cereus. Nothing can crush the statistician of the Columbus Enquirer. His last reads thus: “To well cover the cotton which was warehoused here last season were re quired two hundred and twenty-nine miles of bagging. This will extend many miles further than the longest distance any hale came, and almost cover the country from which a majority came. There are now about one hundred miles of bagging in the city. - ’ The Stewart county sportsmen are satis fied with catching two or three gray foxes a week. Why, a sick man without any dogs could catch a gray fox in this kind of weather. The fancy patch of Dr. Lott, of Way cross, yielded eighty-three bushels per acre last year. The yield this year was not measured, but the bam that held it last season will not hold it now. Shade Pritchard, a good old Democratic negro, of Harris county, died recently at a ripe old age, lamented by every good citizen. We are glad to learn that Mr. Asa K. Watson, of the Macon Telegraph, most genial of poet-journalists, will publish a volume of his poems this fall. Watson is a conscientious and industrious verse builder, and he has written many lyrics that will live after him. We speak for advanced sheets of his book. Griffin has paid out twenty thousand dollars this year for dried fruit, but Pittem Brown, of the News, is chewing on a piece of peach leather that he bor rowed at the opening of the season. Dr. John D. Andrews, of Thomasville, recently cured Mr. John W. Beaton, of Centre Village, of cancer in the face. The Harrells, of Pulaski county, are a big family. The Hawkinsville ZHepatch says that Mrs. Elizabeth Harrell, mother of Messrs. L. L., John W., Levi, Wil liam, and W. W. Harrell, of Pulaski county, will be eighty-one years of age the 16th of the coming October. She has eleven children now living, also sixty grandchildren and sixty great grand children, making her descendants one hundred and thirty-one. In addition to this numerous progeny Mrs. Harrell’s sons are “big men” in the true sense of the word. One of them weighs nearly three hundred pounds, and two or three others not less than two thirty. A young printer in the office of the Hawkinsville IHepatch, whose maiden name is Metts, shot a negro the other day for striking his little brother. There was no ltazainu in that neighborhood to sur render Metts, and he is still at large. Georgia papers grow more literal as they grow richer. The edi tor of the Oglethorpe Echo proposes to send his paper one year to the party who presents him with the largest bale of this year’s cotton, and there is quite a scram ble among the farmers in consequence. The Brunswick Appeal, ; noting the fact that there is an unusual demand for lumber, predicts that prices will speedily stiffen. John Farrell, of Hawkinsville, shot John McNeill tho other duy. These things have beconlo so frequent in that town of late that we hate to mention ’em. Hawkinsville received eleven bales of new cotton in one day recontly. The Oglethorpe Echo laments that chestnut trees in that section are dying out. It is the case all over the State. Tho Atlanta Radicals have had tho im pudence to organize themselves into a State Central Committee. However, we must have something to laugh at during tho long winter nights. According to the Atlanta Herald, a ne gro debating society in that city has de veloped into an incendiary organization, where the most outrageous threats are freely indulged in. A Bibb county farmer has sold two hundred bushels of home made corn since the first of August, and has more for sale. As soon as we find out who he is we are going to skip over to Macon and vote for him for Governor. The bottom of the Savannah river at Augusta has risen at least three feet dur ing the past forty years. Brunswick is to have a turpentine dis tillery. The Atlanta Constitution alludes to a pet dog belonging to a gentlemen of that city, and says “ he was a great favorite of his owner, on account of part family ties.” There is no circumlocution about that, hanged if there is. Au old man named Griffin, from Wash ington county, was found dead at No. 10 on the Gulf Road the other day. Columbus Times: The Atlanta Consti tution prints in full the address made by Senator Norwood at the recent com mencement of Emory College The speech has been pronounced a master piece by all who heard it. It has been noticed by a host of papers throughout the country, and has added no little to the fame of its author. His theme was the “Philosophy, Results and Lessons of the Late Civil War.” Franklin News: “ According to the Morning News, they work white women and negroes together in the chain-gang in Savannah—the women belonging to the class known as the “soiled doves.” If Savannah has no more chivalry and charity than this, she is sadly in need of a load of missionaries and Bibles. ” Albany News: There being five Thurs days in this month, and as the Netcs will be issued on the last day, we defer naming the next Governor till that time. Then the announcement will be made, and we do not expect to go very far to find the man either. Southern Georgia has been tabooed long enough. Columbus Enquirer: About 500 tons of fertilizers were sold in this section last year, against !>O7 the year before, and four thousand the previous season. They have been supplemented by manures made at home, and this has proved de cidedly more advantageous. In the State, generally, about $3,500,000 of foreign fertilizers hare been taken. It will re quire one bale of cotton to every seven produced in the State to pay for it. This is pretty severe. It is a matter of great doubt whether the purchasers have been compensated by increased yield. Wayne Triumph 2d; On yesterday, and even the day before, the major portion of the citizens of Brunswick were thrown into an unusual excitement in view of the trial of certain parties who are supposed to have been implicated in the forgery of the names of the llsyor and Treasurer of the City Council on several thousand dollar's worth of city scrip, issued in IST2 or 1873. One of the men concerned was arrested and lodged in jail several dayj ago, and was to have been given a hearing on yesterday, bat for want of important witnesses the investigation was postponed. An other party, supposed to be connected with the counterfeiting, was also ar rested and brought before His Honor James Houston, Judge of the County Court, during the day, and gave bond for his appearance at nine o’clock a. m. to day, when he will undergo an examina tion as to his guilt or innocence in the premises. We will withhold his name until further developments are made manifest. We sincerely trust, however, that the party charged with this dishon orable act may prove himself clear be yond all question, and that his good name may remain as of yore—untarnished and unapproachable. % Florida Affairs. A correspondent of the Union suggests —and we heartily indorse the suggestion —that mas-i meetings be held in every county in Florida to protest against the advent of the Seminole negroes. If the government insists on bringing these sav age desperadoes from Texas to Florida, immigration to the latter State will re ceive a check from which it will not recover in many a year. The people of the counties ought to move at once. Burglars have actually made their ap pearance in Palatka, and Pratt, of the Herald, has to hide his pocket-book in a new place every night. A colored citizen of Duval county used a club on his sister-in-law with such effect that her most intimate acquaint ances didn’t know her. They have a good deal of law in St. John’s county. A negro who was arrested for attempting to murder a white man escaped from jail, and is now living in peace and quiet near the place where he attempted the murder. St. Augustine thinks the past has been the liveliest summer she ever experi enced. Three negroes escaped from the Mari anna jail the other day. Live Oak has shipped several car-loads of cattle to Savannah recently. Key West boasts that the cigar-makers’ strike didn’t quite prostrate business in that burg. The Palaika Herald complains that everybody wants more land than can be successfully cultivated. Judge A. O. Wright, recently the sprightly paragraphist of the Union, has been elected Principal of the Monticello Academy. A better selection could not have been made. The St. Augustine bar is deepening of its own accord. It is stated that Harry Hazen, the de faulting customs collector at Fernaudina, who is nominally in jail at Tallahassee, is really a clerk in the office of the State Land and Immigration Commissioner. A lady of Georgia was recently married to an Orange county man whom she had never seen before the day of marriage. The steamer Volusia lost her paddle wheel the other day. An Australian fever tree planted in Jacksonville last winter, by Mr. Calvin Oak, is now fifteen or twenty feet high. Anew steamer has recently been built to run between Jacksonville and the Ocklawaha. The Sentinel makes some interesting compilations from the tax returns of va rious counties. The population of Frank lin county is returned at 1,375; value of real estate, $30,343; value of personal property, $43,646 ; number of acres planted in cane, 25 ; number of acres planted in corn, 50; total number of orange trees 6,011; total number of bear ing orange trees, 1,323; number of deaths from the Ist of January, 1875, to the Ist of April, 20. The returns show that there is not an acre of cotton planted in this county. To the value of real estate should be added, the Tax Collector says, the sum of SBO,OOO, and to the value of personal property, the sum of SII,OOO, belonging to non residents. This would made the value of real estate in the county $140,945, and that of personal property $54,646. In looking over the United States census of 1870, we find the population put down at 1,256, and the value of real and personal property at $227,285. This shows an in crease of population of 119, and a de crease in the value of real and personal property of $32,696. It will be seen that the proportion of orange trees, bearing, to the total growth, is a little over one to evory four. No statistics, with regard to orauge culture, are given in the census of 1870, so that we are not able to note what progress has been made, if any, in this industry. The population of Liberty county is returned at 941; value of real estate, $30,896; value of personal property, $29,266 ; number of acres in cotton, 265; number of acres in cane, 51; number of acres in corn, 1,057 ; total number of or ange trees, 3,781; number of trees bear ing, 725; number of deaths from the Ist of January, 1875, to the Ist of April, 5. The United States census for 1870 returns the population of this county at 1,050, and the value of real and personal prop erty at $198,499. This shows a decrease since then in the population of 109, and in the value of real and per sonal property of $138,337. There is evidently a mistake in the returns as to the value of real and personal property in this county, for, by reference to the tax books in the office of the Comptroller for last year, we find that the valuation of personal property alone is $230 more than the total valua tion of real and personal property as given by the census taker. Last year the total valuation of personal property was $60,392, and that of real estate $174,870. The returns from this county are made up in a very slovenly manner, and are manifestly not worth the paper they are written upon, as far as accuracy is con cerned. The population of Hernando county is returned at 3,147; the total number of orange trees, 105,190; total number bear ing fruit, 1,454, or one in about every 75; total number of acres planted in cane, 252. The returns from this county are very crudely made up, so that we have not been able to get at the acreage plant ed in com and cotton. The return made of the number of orange trees is not worth much, as it is evident that every two-leaved sprout from an orange seed has been returned as a tree. One man we find has as many as 25,000 of these, but not a tree bearing. It shows, how ever, that the people are turning their attention to orange culture. From the census of 1870 we find that the popula tion of Hernando county was then 2,938, and the valuation of real and personal property was $474,782. This is a gain in the population over that of 1870 of 209. The Palatka Herald says that the house of a poor white woman near Newtown was entered a week or so ago by a big negro who threatened to shoot her if she made a noise. She was lying ill at the time. The scoundrel took all her pro visions and left. The woman has since died, and it is supposed that her fright was partly the cause of her death. Thus the Palatka Herald: Hear what one of our East Florida correspondents says: “I bought for S2OO a small tract of land containing about four acres of cleared ground and a few shaky houses. My object was to plant a grove of oranges and to raise other tropical fruits. My family and myself cleared ten more acres, from which we gathered corn, potatoes, peas, Ac., sufficient to furnish us with bread and fatten our pigs. Since then we have done all of our work with our hands, with something to put upon the shelf. We have now about thirty acres of land cleared; half is planted in orange trees, some of which bloomed last year. Our banana patch, about thirty yards square, alone produces enough to supply us with flour. We haye also a good house nearly completed. We would not take $4,999 for our place to-day. Jacksonville Union ; We understand that a man answering to the description given by Mr. Farmer, at whose house the murderer of Johnson stopped, was ar rested at Key West by Sheriff Roberts, of Monroe county, on Wednesday, the 25 th ult. The person arrested came from jessup yia Cedar Keys to Key West, and sold near Jessup a cream-colored horse which also answers to the description of the one ridden by the murderer. These facts and the fact that the suspected per son should take a pleasure trip to Rey West at this time of the year make it tolerably certain that the murderer of Senator Johnson has-been captured. We have no sympathy with cold-blooded murderers, notwithstanding the Sentinel from its watch tower may think so, and hope this man may be speedily hanged if the crime is proved upon him. At the same time we are sorry that the State will probably have to pay out a thousand dollars, as it is not overburdened with wealth. The prisoner left Key West under guard on the steamer which sailed on Tuesday for Cedar Keys. Final Presentments of the Urand Jury of Washing-ton County. We, the grand jurors of the county of Washington, selected, chosen and sworn for this special term, ordered by his Honor Judge Herschel V. Johnson, for the investigation and trial of such per sons as are charged with an attempt to incite insurrection, make the following presentment: Through the dispensation of a kind and wonderful Providence, the eyes of our people were opened in time to stay the threatening demon’s bloody hand; and thanks, many and loud, should be raised to high Heaven in praise of that good Lord who has saved us from so bloody a scene as was seemingly appreheded. W c entered upon the discharge of the duties imposed upon us with great care and with great solemnity, knowing full well our weighty responsibilities. Not withstanding the atrociousness of the crime charged, we succeeded well, we think and trust, in dispelling all selfish ness, all prejudices, and all bitterness that such conduct is so well calculated to incite in our weak natures. Knowing well our actions would be severely criticised, notwithstanding all the precautions we could possess our- we entered fearless, of conse quences, upon the discharge of the im portant trust, and now cherish the happy consciousness of having done our full duty. In the presentments of the March term of this court we congratulated our people upon the improved morals, the prosperity, peace and good will that reigned among us. We, in terms earnest and as strong as we had language to com mand, complimented His Honor for the improved status of our county, brought about by his rigid administration of the law, not in the least anticipating such a diabolical outrage in our midst as has called this special session of the court. Some of us, but a few courts past, served upon a grand jury of this county that congratulated our people upon the good feeling that prevailed between the races, and cautioned our colored people against those seeking to stir up strife and arraign the races in antagonism to each other. How sad to-day the seeming changes— how unfortunate for both races. The col ored people have seemingly allowed wicked and designing men to inflame their pas sions to such an extent that some had been inspired by the wicked one to take the lives of not c nly white men, but of innocent and unsuspecting women and children. Sad indeed to contemplate, if true. In our investigations we found the major portion of the cases charged with an attempt to incite an insurrection, when the testimony was most decided as to their guilt, to be from the counties of Laurens and Johnson. The larger por tion arraigned in this county, we are of opinion, were duped into these nefarious plots by a few wicked demons, such as the so-called “Gen.” Rivers, of South Caro lina, “Gen.” Morris, of Burke county, and a few others in this and adjoining counties. Believing this, we recommended the discharge of those that were deceived and misguided, assured that the severe lesson taught would be regarded as a warning, and in future they would give a deaf ear to such abominable wickedness, and co-operate with all good citizens in suppressing crime, for without peace and prosperity among us, no happiness can exist. Can we not cherish the hope—believ ing the larger portion of our colored peo ple knew nothing of the plot—that in the future our relations will be undisturbed. Let this be the earnest desire and effort of every good citizen, not only of Wash ington county, but of all this section of country. The indiscriminate arrests by our offi cials, though actuated by the best of mo tives, was exceedingly unfortunate, and it is to be regretted; for so large a ebt to be put upon Washington county at times so trying financially, is indeed bur densome upon our people, now already oppressed in finances. The liberal policy pursued in holding those charged with an attempt to incite an insurrection, from the counties of Laurens and Johnson, was suicidal and hasty, as they were not within the juris diction of this court and should have been imprisoned and tried in the counties where the crimes were committed, and we cgmmend Hi Hon. Judge Johnson for giving such direction, as no doubt they will be dealt with as such gross offenders of the law so richly deserve. We cannot too highly commend our people for the wisdom and discretion displayed by them under such trying cir cumstances—not a gun having been fired or a drop of blood spilt -whilst we were so much exasperated. We have wisely submitted our grievauces to the proper tribunal, believing justice would be meted out to all. We cannot but repeat our congratulations, that our people, withholding violent bauds, allowed wis dom, moderation and justice to prevail. We were deeply impressed with the charge of His Honor Judge Johnson, for the wholesome advice given, and in ex pounding the law to us; also, for the wisdom displayed in having his charge in such shape as not to be misconstrued: for, as stated, the responsibility involved in these trials is momentous in impor tance, not only to the county, but to the whole country. The legal ability, as well as the weight of character, so richly pos sessed by His Honor, makes it indeed gratifying to us that such trials are under his charge, for no one will dare impugn the motives and acts of so great, so good, and so wise a man. We offer as a proof our appreciation of His Honor’s charge, the result of our la bors in laying hands on the leaders of so nefarious and wicked a plot, and recom mend the discharge of the following par ties: Mack Dorch, George Usher, Cur rington Kelsey, Jesse Demas, Tom Kel sey, James Sessions, William Smith, Erwin Shepherd, Jesse Kitrell, Calvin Shepherd, Simon Daniel,. Richard Ed wards, Fred Snell, Virgil Walker, Mitchell Harris, John Harris, John Roberth, Dan Smith, Alexander Taylor, March Fitzpat rick,Edd Jackson,Mose Peacock, Howard Dillard, Jack Hall, Robert Robison, Ned Peacock, Adam Spinks, Arthur Hunter, Willis Duggan, believing they were mis guided, deceived and duped into these mischievous and wicked plans, by the parties named, and that the general good will be subserved by such action. In taking leave of His Honor Judge Herschel V. Johnson, we would be doing violence to our feelings and great injus tice to His Honor’s merits, were we not to tender our heartfelt thinks for his courtesies to this body, and for his wise administration of the laws, thus making crime odious to evil doers. We assure His Honor his acts and his memory will ever find an abiding place deep in the hearts of all our people. To the Attorney-General, Colonel N. J. Hammond, we also tender our sincere and earnest thanks for his presence with us cn so severe and trying an occasion; also, for the courtesies extended us and the impartiality and ability displayed in the management of the prosecution of the cases put upon trial. Also, to the Solicitor General, John W. Robison, not only for the courtesies ex tended this body, but also for the facili ties offered us in dispatching the busi ness before us. THEOrHttcs J.

Crop Statistics for 1873—Aa Interesting Exhibit. Ascertaining that Mr. Barnard E. Bee. the courteous Receiver of Tax Returns for Chatham county, had completed his work of collecting the agricultural sta tistics of the county for 1875 and was about forwarding the report to the Com missioner of Agriculture at Atlanta, we called upon him on Saturday and request ed the privilege of making extracts there from. The book was kindly placed at our disposal, and upon a thorough examina tion we have extracted the following as of general public interest. These statis tics are collected by the Receiver for the Department of Agriculture under the in structions of the Commissioner of Agri culture, in compliance with the provi sions of the act approved February 20, 1*73, and the act amendatory thereof, approved March 2, 1875. Each tax-payer is required by law to make these returns under oath. The importance of full and correet returns is apparent, and it is the duty of every tax-payer to make the re turns promptly and explicitly. As, how ever, there is no penalty attached to a failure to comply with these regulations, many neglected to make the returns, and additional labor and trouble were thus oc casioned in gathering the desired informa tion. It will be observed that the de faulters’ exhibit is quite large. Annexed ill be found the returns from the several districts: RECAPITULATION. No. acres of rice 6,556 6-8 No. acres Indian corn 332 No. acres oats 169 7-12 No. acres cow or field peas 112 i No. acres cotton 52 * No. acres sweet potatoes 102 | No. acres Irish potatoes 109 4 No. pear trees...., 2,483 " No. peach trees 333 No. apple trees 175 No. mills grinding grain,run by steam 17 No. foundries 3 No. horses and mules 316 No. other cattle of all kinds 1,352 No. working oxen 42 No. hogs '.'.’."’.1,354 No. hogs for killing next winter 75 No. sheep... 343 No. poultry 413 No. goats 3 No. stand of bees 5 No. dogs 47 No. sheep killed by dogs 4 Spelgellzed Iron—Georgia’s Resources. We were yesterday shown by Mr. Jas. McPherson, Clerk of the United States Courts, a specimen of speigelized iron, from Diamond Furnace, Bartow county, Georgia, Willard Ward, Esq., proprietor. This is the first iron of the kind that has ever been manufactured in this coun try, and is extremely valuable, being used in the manufacture of steel. We learn from Mr. McPherson that Mr. Ward has been very busy for the last two months trying to make speigel iron, and has at last succeeded in making a first-class article, high enough in manganese and low enough in phosphorous to bring a first class price. As stated, this is about the first successful undertaking of the kind made in this country. It is an extremely rare sort of iron in the United States, and the specimen before us enables us to understand that “Spiegel” is the Ger man for “mirror,” as it is peculiarly bright and brilliant. The following is aa extract froi% the letter received by Mr. McPherson: “ This iron is used in the manufacture of steel, and as the Bessmer Works are the only portion of the iron industry that have not suffered by the late hard times, will greedily buy all the “Speigel” they can lay hands on, and we think we are not over confident when we see a bright future reflected in our iron mirror. ” Tlie Notorious “Geu.” Jos. Morris—A Reward Offered for flis Capture. The negro “Gen." Joseph Morris, who figured prominently as a leader of the late insurrectionary movement, is still at large, though it is to he hoped that he may soon be captured and brought to punishment. Gov. Smith has offered a reward of five hundred dollars for the apprehension of this individual, and this, at least, should be an incentive to some enterprising detective to go to work to ferret him out. He is about thirty-five years of age, tall, and spare made, with long heels and small thanks, and as black as the interior of a tar barrel.

Savannah, September TANARUS, 1875. f General Remarks.— Tl.e trade of the city lias been steadily increasing for the past few weeks, and msy now he- said to have fairly opened. Jobbers have all laid in very heavy stocks in anticipation oi a heavy fall trade, which is generally conceded we will have. These stocks have been selected especially to suit the interior trade, and merchants who have so far visited the city have seemed well pleased with assortments, and prices too, and a large majority of them have purchased quite freely of all kinds of merchandise. The jobbing trade of Savannah has now be come so firmly established, and our jobbers so well qualifies to select goods to suit the trade, that interio; merchants and inauy of our local retailers lino that they can buy to better advan tage here than m any of the Northern markets. Many of the goods sold here are bought directly front agents of the manufacturers, and not from jobbers, and we are thus enabled to sell at as low prices as tee same goods can be purchased from jobbers at in either New York or Boston. The sooner all interior merchants learn this fact, the better it will be for them and the country. Nothing of importance in the way of changes in the market has occurred during the week. The prices of dry goods remain firm and unchanged. Some slight advances are i oted in the grocery and provision ime. Bacon is firm and higher. Money is easy and to be had to any reasonable amount at the banks at the usual rates. Cotton.—The market has been a little irregu lar the past week, and more has been done than for several weeks past. Since the Ist instant re ceipts have been very good and have made more margin for buyers to operate, though prices have declined and holders are not disposed to sell any more than they can help at present quotations. On Thurs day good middling advanced l-16c., and on Fri day fell off again and remained unchanged vntil Monday, when good middling and mid dling were reduced %c., and to-day all grades fell oil' %c., showing a decline of %c. since our last report. Our market, of course, has been controlled by the feeling Nwr York and Liverpool. Thelrp has been considerable in quiry in futures in the past few days, though the sales lor the week only toot up 600 bales for November and December at 13c. Our market to day closed easier at for Good Middling 14 Mjddling 13% Low Middling 13% Good Ordinary 12% Ordinary 11% Crops.—We learn from our correspondents, an : trorn other sources throughout the cotton growing sections, that the weather the past week has been just what was needed at this particular stage of the plant. It fias been warm and dry, and in many sections has done an immense amount of good. If i; will only continue for a few weeks longer, there will be no more com plaint of the •‘boil worm,” and with along, fa vorable picking season, there is every reason to believe that the result will be satisfactory. The receipts of cotton at this port for the past week, from all sources, have been 2,007 bales upland, against 3,8:3 bales upland and 8 bales sea island for the corresponding date last year. The particulars of the receips have been as follows : Per Central Railroad, 940 bales upland; per Atlantic aDd Gulf Railroad, 839 b. les upland; PC. c ‘rts, 40 bales upland; per Augusta steamers, 180 bales upland; per Florida steamers, 8 bales upland. The exports for the week have been 914 bales upland and 20 bales sea island, moving as sfol lows : To N' ,v York, 445 lwles upland; To Balti more, 43 bales upland and 'BO bales sea island; to Philadelphia, 425 bales upland.
