Savannah Wceklu #eivs HVrPKBAV, KKPTK.MBKH 18, 1874. Affairs lu Georgia. • ‘"’ WHmi Sullivan, of Savannah, was in I'albotton the other day. attracted thither, probably, by the fame of the Count Johannes H'Gormanne. The Col onel ia fifteen months of age. The Augusta Chronicle avers that the statement to the effect that Col. Hob Alston furnished the Graphic with a photograph of Ralston, the California banker, was a joke. Well, then, it was an awfully stupid one. The copy of the Graphic that came to us contained the portrait of Ralston, and under it this legend was printed: “From a photograph furnished by Col. R. A. Alston, of the Atlanta Herald." The facetiousness al luded to by the Chronicle entirely escaped ns. General Tige Anderson is said to have appliod to the Khedive for an apjxiint meut. We know the General won't like the country. There are no district con ferences m Egypt. Albany is troubled with an occasional burglar. Rome is gloating over a zither. Henry Grady, of the Atlanta Herald, knows all about this kind of instrument, and we wish that, in his picturesque way,he would teU about the man who blew on one for bis edification on Lookout Mountain. The controversy between the Atlanta CtnnmonireeilXh and the (iriffin New* is getting to be decidedly severe. A four year old son of Mr. Ike Wallace, of Floyd county, can pick out thirty eight |>ounds of cotton a day. The Atlanta Herald says that a Mr. Welsh, a Northern man, intends to e tahhsh a hosiery mill in Newnan. Mr. John H. Henry denounced the Chattooga county ruffians with such fervor that he had to lease his paper, the Sum merville Gaulle, to the Rev. J. A. Cle ment A Hon. Mr. F. H. Richardson, city editor of tho Columbus Timet, is ill with billious fever. Wo trust he will soon be himself again. The Count Johannes H’Gormanne was in the city yesterday. Jones county has a military company called the Modoc Rangers. Col. James L. Brown, of Greene coun ty, saved ten thousand pounds of Ber muda grass hay at one cutting. Ho says tho Herald. The skeleton of a negro girl was found near Dalton the other day. Mr. Oherry, of Stewart county, who was recently shot by two brothers named Cain, is dead. Mr. J. L. Birch will shortly issue anew pajter at Butler, Taylor county. Atlanta is demoralizing her young men by getting up moonlight excursions to Marietta. A rich copper mine has been discovered on one of Joe Brown's places near Marietta. Two women in Atlanta wanted to sell their babies for twonty dollars apiece in order to keep from starving. And yet we arc warned Sunday after Sunday that wo should contribute shinplasters and red llanuels to the lepors of Polynesia. Judge J. T. Lumpkin has associated himself with the Homeward Mlar, a Texas paper published in Atlanta. Talbot county has several religious re vivals in progress. The negroes in portions of Brooks county are becoming rather obstreperous. A Brooks county lad named Lum De vane, was grabbed by an alligator the ■wither day, and was rescued by his friends difficulty. A Dougherty county granger makes two hundred per cent, profit on his farm. Fourteen negroes wore arrested in Dougherty county for shooting a Mr. Tillery, who, prior to tho row, had shot a colored patriot who was carrying off a bag of cotton. W ill Mr. L. 11. Peacock send us his Pont Ojflce address? Wo liavo received two postal cards from him, neither of which arc postmarked or dated, and we therefore cannot correct the matter he complains of. A Dooly county man has about a hun dred bales of cotton not yat, sold, and he rofus. to subscribe for bis/ local paper, That uin would have to be mighty sick before we’d voto for him for Governor. The Augusta Constitutionalist seems to be of the opinion that Ponce de Loon Spring has lost its pungency. Cows wander into the Columbus drug stores. There is a mine epidemic in North Georgia. Several citizens of Rome own a mine in Cherokee. The cotton stealers are abroad in Harris county. The crop outlook in Screven is very gloomy. Rust has attacked the cotton and drouth ruined tho corn. Atporicus has received threo hundred and ninety seven bales of new cotton this season. The Atlanta water-works are an im mense success. Mr. C. J. Reeves, of Ware county, has a pepper tree eight feet high. The death of Mr. John Turk, of Jasper county, is announced. Henry county is now watching for a negro insurrection. A brilliant meteoric display was recent ly witnessed iu Telfair county. William Fletcher,, infant sou of J. A. Garrison, of Wilcox county, is dead. One thousand one hundred and ninety six sheep were slaughtered in Appling county last year. Ou Saturday, Ilawkinsville received thirty four bales of cotton. Pulaski county is looking for an insur rection. An attempt was recently made to assas sinate two colored men in Pulaski county. Judge John A. Simonton, an old citi zen of Greenville, is dead. Sparta received more than eleven thou sand bales of cotton last year. Anderson Winn, a negro murderer, has been captured and lodged iu jail at Sparta, Bridges W. Smith still has his “Hash” in press. Mr. Z. L. White, the staff correspondent of the New York Tribune, thus describes the closing scenes of the recent trial of Cordy Harris at Sandersville: “Face to face sat the prisoner and the Judge : the faint light that fell upon the countenance of the latter brought out iu strong relief the striking features of his face, aud gave such a revelation of his character as fully explained the wonderful influence which he exerts people of this entire section of the State. His very presence is remarkably dignified and impressive. Mr. Sumner once told me that, as a rule, to attain greatness a man must be on good terms with his stomach at the same time that he exercises a manly control over his appetites. Judge Herschel V. Johnson, uuless his appearance belies him, possesses both of these prerequisites of greatness. His portly form bespeaks the lover of good living, while the sharp ness of his eye and the quickness of his perception are evidences of his temperate habits. The secret of his influence, it seems to me, lies in the com plete control which he has over himself. Naturally a man of strong feelings, and. I should suppose, of deep ly-rooted prejudices, he rises completely above them aud administers justice that is impartially blind to everything but the law aud the evidence. Governing him self, he attains the power of governing others. I have said that this trial has re flected honor, both upon the State sad upon those who participated in it. It has proved that a negro can and will be justly dealt with in the courts of Middle Georgia, even in the midst of excitement. Of the strict impartiality of Judge .John son I have already spoken, but it is only fair to counsel on both sides to say that they followed the good example set them by the bench. Attorney-General Hammond was the leading counsel for the State, this being only the second time that he has been ordered away from Atlanta by the Governor to try a case. His whole policy seemed rather to be to get at the truth than to obtain a conviction, and in his argument to the jury he reminded them that the dignity of the State did not "require tfce shedding of the blood of any of its citizens, and that the dignity Of the State would be injured more by the conviction of an innocent man than by tha acquittal of a guilty one. He th^^ selected the few important points testimony and presented them to jury with a fairness that would have W-'Uc honor to a Judge on the bench. The Atlanta Orange asserts that the Atlanta Herald has not begun suit against it, and reiterates more emphatically than ever that Kimball controls the editorial department of the latter paper. The Herald has an agreeable and well written sketch of Prof. William Henry Peck, one of the most noted of sensa tional story-writers and the most genial of men. In personal appearance, Prof. Pock bears a striking resemblance to Wil kie Collins. The trade issue of the Atlanta Constitu tion was good. E. A. Rhodes, who has just served his time in the penitentiary, has been re stored to the rights of citizenship by the Governor. Camp-meetings are closing for the season. Mr. Charles R. Pendleton, of Valdosta, is writing up Okefinokee for the At lanta Constitution. It is stated that Judge John L. Harris proposes to domicile himself at Waycross. The woods in portions of Ware county are on fire. An Augusta printer named Thomas J. Murphy attempted to commit suicide by jumping in the river the other day. A convenient nigger fished him out. Lee Hmitb, of Atlanta, has just dedi cated anew saloon called “The Big Bo nanza.* 1 Htewart county has raised a boll of cotton with fourteen locks Heventeen of these bolls produce a pound of cotton. There is trouble among the sewing machine agents in Columbus. They are battering each other up at every oppor tunity. • Brunswick has had a sensation in the preliminary trial of Mr. W'elis, city treas urer, for forging city scrip. He has been required to give bond in the sum of five thousand dollars. Mr. C. Binns, of Wilkes county, has so far forgot himself a# to run on an in dependent ticket for the Legislature. Wilkes ought to crush out such patriots. General Toombs and wife are at New Holland. The Marietta Journal was told by a gentleman the other day that human spittle was as deadly to poisonous snakes as their bites were deadly to mau. He says while picking up a bundle of straw and trash under his arm, while cleaning a field, a ground rattlesnake, four feet long, crawled out from it and fell to the ground at his feet. He at once placed his heel upon the head of the snake and spit in its mouth. Shortly afterwards the snake showed symptoms of inactivity and sickness, aud he picked it up by its tail and carried it to-the house, and showed it to his wife, telling her he had spit in its mouth and that it was poison ed. At the expiration of fifteen minutes the snake was dead. To further experi ment, he came across a blowing adder (snake), which ejected from its mouth a yellowish liquid. He caught it and spit in its mouth, and it died. He caught an other blowing, and it refused to open its mouth. He spit upon a stick aud rubbed the spittle upon the adder’s nose, aud it died. Afterwards he cam eacross a black snake, regarded as not poisonous, and he caught it and spit in its mouth. Instead of the spittle killing the black snake, as it did the poisonous reptiles, it only made it stupidly sick, from which it re covered. This conclusively show’s that poisonous snake have as much to fear from the spittle of mamas man has to fear from their bites. Ilawkinsville Dispatch: We published in last week’s Dispatch an account of a “gay deceiver” by the name of Anderson, who hail traveled through Ware, Appling and Coffee counties, passing himself off as a revenue collector, and by this decep tion swindling Sellers Lee, Daniel Lott, Lichenstein and others out of various sums of money. Lee didn’t have any money on hand to pay his license for sell ing tobacco and liquor, uud the impudent scoundrel had tho audacity to threaten him with handcuffs, lie arrested Mr. Lee aud started toward Savannah with him, but ou tho way they met a neighbor who loaned Lee the money, and he was released. The rascal came on toward llawkiusville, and crossed the Ocmulgee river somewhere, it is sup posed, between here and Lumber City. At any fate he made his way to Americus, pursued by the swindled parties. When they reached Americus they found that he had been arrested and placed in juil for larceny. He whs known in Americas l>y the name of Roberson. There is other suspicious character traveling through Pulaski, Laurens and Dooly counties, upon whom it would be well for the people to keep a sharp eye. Albany News: One night last week a planter named Tillery, residing in the western part of Dougherty, discovered one of his employes walking off with a Img of cotton, aud put about fifty squirrel shot into his carcass. The negro was pretty badly hurt, aud Dr. Strother was called to his assistance. 1 lis wounds wore dressed, aud he was soon out of danger, though many of the shot could not be ex tracted. This shooting exasperated the negroes on the place, and many foolish threats were rumored. The brother of tho fellow who was shot cursed Mr. Tillery, it is said, and told him, “Damn you, I’ll kill you yet.” So matters stood till Monday night last, when Mr. Tillers was shot while lying on his couch, after retiring for the night. He was shot with No. 6 shot, and saved only by the banister railing of the porch, which was struck by the discharge, aud turned the force of the load. Many shot struck Mr. TANARUS., however, aud he was painfully injured. Mr. Sher iff Mayo at once summoned a posse of six men and galloped out to the scene of the trouble. As soon as they were dis covered, the negroes stampeded for a neighboring swamp, but were pursued anil captured without the firing of a shot, or the least personal injury to any one of them. Fourteen were then ar rested, and late Tuesday evening lodged in our jail. They will have a fair and impartial hearing to-day. Columbus Enquirer: Is not State aid antagonistic to the true spirit of Republi can institutions? Would it not be wiser to prohibit any legislation by which States could issue bonds in order to raise money for promoting internal improve ments ? Ought any city to be allowed to incur great indebtedness in order to further the aims of individuals against the interests of the mass of the tax pay ers? By this mistaken policy the Credit Mobilier and similar corporations have corrupted the very fountain head of Re publican government, and the cities of this new country are more burdened with debt than those in England. We may be slow, perhaps, but we cannot help think ing that this making haste to be great and luxurious will result disastrously in the long run. Plans for building rail roads where they are not needed, for sup plying water works to cities not able to pay for them, aud rushed through by municipal bodies, and the whole people of the city arbitrarily forced to pay for these expensive luxuries by taxation, whether they approve or disapprove of these projected schemes. It may be urged that railroads will not be built unless cities build them. In that case they should uot be built. Either a State should own all the rail roads within its borders, or it should own •none at all. Even the Western and At lantic or Georgia State Road has never paid the State more than two per cent, per annum on the average aud no road in the State is better located to do a paying business. The Brunswick Railroad might not have been constructed for a half cen tury by private subscriptions, but it would have been whenever the needs ol trade demanded it. It is urged that since so much has been done by State aid for Northern Geor gia, the other parts of the State should be likewise aided. If that road be sold and the amount received be placed in the State Treasury, this will be the safest way to repay the tax payers. Let supply and demand regulate the con struction of all railroads, and the State will be better off if it will cease all appro priations to aid works of internal im provements. It is impossible to prevent fraud from assuming larger proportions when the State is to pay for exorbitant contracts. The one admirable feature of the Central Road, and the other roads in the State not built by State aid, is, that they were built by private citizens at a fair cost It is unjust to them that com peting roads should be built by State aid. When the breach is once made it is hard to close it up again, but we think that it ought to be done. We are opposed to monopolies, but we would not have any means adopted to overcome them exoept that honorable course dictated by neces sity and practical common sense. The common sense of the people is nearly al ways right, and we believe when this subject comes fairly before them that they will prohibit further “progress” on this plan. Col. Jones, of the Macon Telegraph, who took supper day before yesterday on Cumberland Island, is now writing a series of letters from a restaurant at New burgh. on the Hudson. During the re cent excitement in Washington county the only thing that excited the awe of the Colonel was the quality of the corn dodgers. Americus Republican : We learn that on Friday last a colored man went to a preacher in this city to borrow his pistol, and stated that he was going to camp meeting on Sunday and as he didn't know what would happen he wanted to take a pistol along. The minister re plied, he couldn’t tell what would happen at home, and could not let his pistol go. The Augusta Constitutionalist says: “Wo had the pleasure of a short visit last night from Gen. A. H. Colquitt, who had been spending the day with and ad dressing the Richmond county Grangers. He took the train last night for his home near Atlanta. We take occasion to state that Gen. Colquitt has never said one word about the candidacy for Governor of Georgia. The newspapers and their correspondents have done ail that. No one has ever authoritatively spoken on the subject. He has, however, for ten years past, worked hard and most faithfully to elevate the farming interests of Geor gia, delivering addresses in a majority of the counties upon purely agricultural top ics, totally free from politics, and with out even political allusions. The papers have misconstrued all this into an am bition to be Governor, thus robbing him of much that is due him and breaking the force of what he had to say. After all that has been said, no one actually knows whether he would even accept the nomi nation. We freely give General Colquitt the glory of having defended Georgia like a nero, as he is; and when all was lost in battle save our lands, of making a still more glorious effort to win a greater victory than was ever plucked from bat tle field, in the arts of peace. If “peace has its triumphs no less renowned than war,’ then, indeed, is he entitled to the homage of every true Georgian.” Florida Affairs. The Florida Agriculturist, published at Jacksonville, is one of the best papers of its class in the country. Pensacola is to have a yacht race. Captain Dyke, of the Floridian, was in Havannah yesterday. They have burglars as high up as En terprise. Every industry seems to pros per in Florida. Magbee still refuses to send us his paper. Some people can’t take a joke. The Union intimates that Enterprise is composed of a hotel. One boat a week does all the business on the Flint and Chattahoochee rivers that was divided between a half dozen a few years ago. It goes to Apalachicola only once every two weeks, and still they complain of nothing to do. The latest improvement at Orlando is a one-story beef-shed. The style of architecture is arabesque. Col. Martin, warden of the State prison, has pressed out over one thou sand gallons of wine the past week, and has ten barrels of old wine in his cellar; and yet he makes a long face and com plains of a short crop of wine and “nothing to drink” another year. The Agriculturist remarks: An order has come here to Mayor Jones, from New York, for twenty-five tons of palmetto leaves. It is not for paper making, but we are not in a position as yet to say what is going to be done with it. Some thing valuable may turn up that will add thousands to the value of the State. Willis Johnson, one of the peniten tiary guards, was reported dead a few nights ago, but he proved to be only “dead drunk.” The thermometer in Orange county av eraged 70 degrees last week. A drunken negro at Waukeenah man aged to get up a little affray tho other day. Mr. R. M. Merrill, living opposite Jacksonville, was bitten in the hand the other day by a poisonous snake. He is recovering from the effects. Since Gov. Stearns offered SI,OOO re ward for the assassin of Senator John son all the cream horses about Chatta hoochee have been hid out or swapped off. The Agriculturist says: “Thousands of bushels of guavas will be produced in the Stato this year. They cannot stand transportation. Who will make a for tune by working them up into jelly, marmalade and stpws ? A person who will open a restaurant here, and serve out stewed guavas and cocoanut cream, can soon make one. Let the Northern peo ple once taste it, and it cannot be made fast enough. Quantities will be pur chased to send to friends in the North. We will give all the aid we cau to any re spectable person or persons who will en ter into the business. In sending guavas to market, they should bo packed in open crates, containing about half a bushel each, that they may not be crushed by their own weight. A lot was sent here last j ear, packed in close barrels. They were entirely destroyed by the tipie they arrived.” Iu Gadsden county when a reward is offered by the Governor, strangers are sometimes knocked down with an axe, dragged to jail, and when they recover are asked if they ain’t the man. The first number of the new Florida magazine. The Semi- Tropical, will appear on the 15th. The U. S. mail is now carried from Chattahoochee to. Apalachicola, a dis tance of 105 miles, on a batteau, Purman & Cos., the present mail contractors, not being able to get a steamer. It makes the trip down and back in a week, and they have to carry muskets along to keep the alligators from stealing the mail bags. Chattahoochee beats Live Oak on the baby question, Six little folks put in an appearance there in five days—and still Gadsden county is for an emi gration society. This is absurd. The Farmers and Fruit-Growers Asso ciation of Orange county has been organ ized. Chattahoochee received her first bale on the 4th, which was bought by J. C. Boykin & Cos., at 13c. A good crop of cotton and tobacco will be raised in that locality. Thus the allud ing to Georgia : All honor to the grand old Commonwealth that keeps peace within her borders without bloodshed, and keeps her bonds at one hundred cents in the dollar! Glorious a century ago, thrice glorious in that last struggle for liberty which ended ten years since, her glory is more splendid to-day than ever before! If the spirit and the laws of Georgia could cross the St. Mary’s, just such peace and power as Georgia has would come to Florida. But the scala wag, the nigger, and the carpet-bagger have dug their claws deep into the Land of Flowers, and the Sanderson and Pen sacola riots are fair samples of what may happen at any time. The scuppemong grape season is now in full blast, and wine pressing is all the excitement about Chattahoochee and Mount Pleasant. Jacksonville Union: Our city readers have probably noticed the lettering of the sign T. Hartridge, etc., painted on the little building opposite Jeffreys & Bro's warehouse, on the Charleston steamers’ wharf. The work is done with great regularity, aud would do credit to a professional painter. It is the work of little Charlie Hartridge, nephew of Dr. T. Hartridge, a boy not over ten years of age. He has also manufactured a little show sign to hang in a window, setting forth and illustrating his uncle’s business. The name, etc., is written by lines of coffee, peas, rice, etc., stuck on with mucilage. He is certainly an ingenious little fellow. Agriculturist: We are glad to see that our lecture on the resources of Florida is leading to good results. One of these is the enterprise of Mr. Thomas Ritchie, of Dundee, Scotland. The making of mar malade is an industry of his native place, and, having read our lecture, he was struck with the feasibility of the enterprise, and is now erecting a factory to prepare it. He has bought fifty acres of land on the Moncrief Spring shell road, north of the toll-gate. He intends laying out six acres in shrubbery around the factory and erecting a substantial building. His workmen are coming from Scotland —* men who understand the business. We are confident that he will make a grand success, as he has both means and determination to carry it out. Sour oranges will now be made of some value. Other grand industries are still open in the State. 'Who will take them up? There is paper making, canning oysters, etc., etc. Who wants a fortune? The first have the best chance. Plenty of room for thousands of you. There is much complaint in regard to errors in the new census of Florida. The same paper thus touches aunt Harriet: Our correspondent. J. W. G., says that Mrs. Stowe tells her readers that Florida is unhealthy in summer. We have not seen such statements, but if made, we can only say that they are to tally unwarranted. Her advice to people coming to Florida is mainly, we judge, to those intending to plant orange groves, and her remarks are perfectly right, as far as she knows, and much like what we have repeatedly advised; but Mrs. Stowe is not aware of what great strides have recently been made in the production of early vegetables for the North era market. There are numbers of other products now cultivated here at a profit of which Mrs. Stowe knows little or nothing. She only visits this State in the winter months and leaves in the spring, and while here spends most of her time at her residence in Mandarin. We can show her plenty of people who came here with only money enough to buy their land and set tle themselves, who are now doing well Mrs. Stowe knows little of the State. S v e is so full of the cacoethes scribendi that when her pen gets going there is no stop ping it, and as Florida is now the great topic, she must dip into it to tell what she knows, and a good deal that she does not know. South Carolina Affairs. Hon. James Farrow has been elected to the Presidency of the Laurensville Female College. He has accepted the position and will open the college on the third Monday in October next. Mr. James 0. McLeod died in Sumter county on the 23d ult. A negro was killed by another at a tur pentine distillery, near Orangeburg, on Saturday last. The two were gambling and a fight ensued. The younger, a negro about eighteen years old, drew a knife and ripped the abdomen of the other, causing death. The perpetrator of the deed has escaped. The new Presbyterian Church at Centre Point, Spartanburg county, was dedi cated on the the 28th ultimo. On Tuesday morning last a little colored girl, living on the suburbs of Aiken, was very severely bitten by a rattlesnake. Dr. Croft was called in im mediately, and to his skillful exertions the parents owe the life of the child. The Court of Sessions for Aiken county convened yesterday. From September 1, 1874, to September 1, 1875, three thousand five hundred and seventy-seven bales of cotton were shipped from Hodge’s over the Green ville and Columbia Railroad —a falling off of five hundred and fifty-three bales from the corresponding period of the pre ceding year. On Saturday last sixty-two converts joined the Good Templars at Long Cane, Abbeville county. On Monday night last Mr. Thomas Pheeney, of Sumter, was robbed of two hundred and thirty dollars in greenbacks. The thief entered the rear room of his store and carried out a trunk, within which the money was kept in a tin box. The new hotel at Union has been leased to Messrs. E. R. Wallace and W. T. Thomson, who have gone North to pur chase the necessary furniture and fix tures. Union Court House is to have a steam laundry. A colored boy named Scipio Vaughn was drowned in Boykin’s Mill Canal, near Camden, last week. Several colored per sons had been bathing, but Scipio kept out of the water, being unable to swim. A colored man called Sbadrack Patterson seized the boy in a playful mood, and threw him into the canal, in which he sank to rise no more. The jury returned a verdict of accidental drowning. Mr. James T. Griffin, of Abbeville, has plenty of last year’s sweet potatoes. There are fifteen cotton gins within five miles of Aiken. Mr. Christopher Whitman, of Green ville county, was killed by falling into a well which he had just cleaned. Thirty bales of new cotton were sold in Camden last week. Heavy shipments over the South Caro lina Railroad promises to begin about October Ist. Fifty cents per hundred pounds Is paid to cotton pickers in Darlington county. The Camden merchants are anticipa ting a heavy trade the present season. The Columbia Phoenix will |perma nently reappear on Saturday. The Laurens Railroad has been com pleted to Martin’s depot. At a recent meeting of the Republican Club, of Spartanburg, it was unanimously resolved to make no nominations for the municipal offices to be filled at the ensu ing election, but to vote solidly any ticket, by whomsoever nominated, the members of which pledge themselves not to license any bar-room within the corpo rate limits of Spartanburg during their term of office. Dr. G. W. Garmany, of Newberry, as sisted by Dr. John M. Thompson,of Silver street, successfully transfused four ounces of blood into the arm of a negro man by means of the Aveleigh transfuser. The blood was taken from the veins of the patient’s son. The patient, who lives at the place of Mr. John Spearman, Jr., was in a state of collapse, and pulseless. In a short time his pulse returned, and it is now full and regular. The operation was performed several days ago, and the pa tient is doing well. Mr. S. Bobo, agent of the South Caro lina Manufacturing Company, has just completed a sale of 3,000 acres of the Rolling Mill property in Spartanburg county, including the shoal, mill site, etc., to “The English Manufacturing Company.” This company will sub divide the land into tracts of six acres each, and sell to English and American settlers, men of small capital, who are also to take stock in the company. Steps are already being taken to erect a lumber and saw mill, and machine shops, preparatory to building. The company own some fourteen thousand acres of land adjoining the tract. Bluffton, South Carolina, which, before the war, was considered one of the most pleasant villages on the coast, and was the summer residence of a number of wealthy planters, is showing signs of im provement. During the war it was near ly totally destroyed by the Federal gun boats, but at the close of the struggle the inhabitants returned, and for a while the place prospered, until the elective franchise was given to the negroes and they took possession of the State, espe cially the lower part of it. We are glad to learn, however, that there has been a decided change for the better within the last year, and that property h#s greatly increased in value. This is owing to the increase in the white population. A cen sus of the township, recently taken, shows an increase of four hundred and fifty whites as compared with the census of 1870, and a decrease of sixty blacks. The Greenville News says: The contract was closed yesterday with the Air-Line Railroad for the transportation of one hun dred car loads of machinery for the Cam perdown factory from Lynn, Mass. Three cheers for the Camperdown factory ! ’Squire Mcßee is pushing to completion the mammoth new building. Bankrupt Roil.

Savannah, September 14, 18TC-. I Gen-el \l Remarks— The market the past week has shown considerable animation, though buyers have not been -so liberal in their opera tions as the week previous, until within the last two days, when quite a number ot interior re tailers have visited t ie market uid have bought very liberally. In dry goods ttere has been a steady demand for the most stiple fabrics, and piece selections have been made to a amount. But little has been dole in heavy goods, such as flannels and winter goods, as the warm weather has not warranted retailers in investing in this class of goods. They have only bought such goods as are needed to tort up stocks, aud meet the immediate demand until cold weather sets in, when purchases will made on a larger scale, and will comprise complete stocks of all kinds. Business in this liie, though already open, has not yet assumed the proportion antici pated by jobbers. On the woole, however, it has been good, and perfectly satisfactory to all par ties concerned. Groceries and provisions, Hke dry goods, has been rather quiet, though a fair share of business has been done, and the volume of trade very satisfactory to jobbers. The flour market has shown some irregularity ou account of the large stock of new flour in the market. Flours from oH wheat are becoming scarce and command higher prices than the new, being at least one dollar higher. No changes have taken place since oar last report worthy of note, and we quote markets generally as Ann and prices welhsustained. Cotton. —The market for cotton on the spot has been drooping and prices have suffered a de cline nearly every dap during the week. In creased receipts at the ports have caused free offei ings for September and October, which has, in a great measure, checked the demand for spot cotton and caused an irregular decline in prices. There was on Wednesday a decline of the. on all grades above ordinary, which remained un changed. Ou Thursday quotations underwent a similar decline of Xo. on all grade*. On Friday a further reduction of hi c. was made, and the market closed easy. On Saturday the market was steady and unchanged, but on Monday became easy again, and good middling fell off Xc. To-day the market ha* been quiet ana quotations were again reduced ,ye. on all grades above ordi nary, which advanced %c. For fnture deliveries prices have fallen off. Heceipts at the ports have been very large, exceeding so far any previous movement for September. The market to-night closed quiet at, for Good Middling J3y Middling 12% Low Middling. 12X Good Ordinary 12 Ordinary \\y Crops.—Our advices indicate considerable im provement in the weather the past week through out the cotton growing section. At some points we hear of rust and shedding, which has done slight damage. A few speak of injury from worms, while others state that the crop is backward. \t most points, however, the weather has been w arm with little or no rain ; the crop continues to develop promisingly, and the movement will probably be early. With a con tinuance of dry weather, the few unsatisfactory features mentioned above will soon disappear, as they have already dc‘ue in many sections. The receipts of cotton at this port for the past week, from all sources, have been 4,541 bales upland and 5 bales sea island, against 3,813 bales upland and 8 bales sea island for the correspond ing date last year.
