Willingham, of the Home Courier, is still stirring up the Atlanta editors on the subject of the trained journalist. Boully wants to sell the Hamilton Vi dar. It is a good paper, and ought to be a paying one. Sawyer, of the Atlanta Herald, seems to be personally acquainted with Henry Matteraon. He took Henry’s photo ftraph in six lines. Iwo clusters of persimmons have made their appearance in Jefferson county. This is only another symptom that ’possums are getting ripe. The Sunny SouOl is authorized to offer ten dollars to all papers that will publish the sketch of John 11. James. Isn’t this cutting under the usual advertising rates? i A bloody shooting affray occurred in Richmond county the other day, the re- j suits of which will probably prove fatal to at least one party. They have foot races in Walker county, j The corn crops in Walker county are promising. Barn* sville and Thomaaton are receiv ing cotton right along. Runaways are among the features of Columbus. A Columbus negro who went to sleep j while listening to a sermon, fell and j broke his arm. This ought to be a warn ing. The infant daughter of Mr. K. S. Bur ton, of the Eastman Time*, died last week. Willingham, of the ltome Courier, is getting to l>e profane. Boully wants to sell the Hamilton Vixi tor on account of ill health. The dwelling house of Mr. Warren Joiner, of Laurens county, was burned recently by an incendiary. A Harris county hen lays eggs no lar ger than those of a partridge, and the Vixit/rr calls it a “freak. ” Thnt isn’t what the Count Johannes B. Gormanue would call it. The Nashville Journal has temporarily suspended on account of a lack of paper. Major Dwinnell, proprietor of the Home Courier, is careering through Cali fornia. A Berrien sow lias given birth to fifty pigs in five litters. The Atlanta Constitution is accused of being a cyclopaedia. It is astonishing that some of the jokers haven’t said that one of its editors is quite Small. We have received an invitation to the anniversary of the I’hi Gamma Society of Emory College at Oxford. Columbus lmd a magnificent meteor the other night. A convict named Kelly is roaming around through Newton county, swear ing that he will nevi r he taken alive. Grady, of the Atlanta Herald, still urges the centennial. A negro boy was killed in Stewart coun ty recently by fulling from u cotton wagon. The editor of tho Lumpkin Independ ent is the owner of an entire litter of al ligator’s eggs. An Oglethorpe county man has a stalk of corn bearing twenty-seven ears of corn. Mr. James M. Dyson, a prominent cit izen of Wilkes county, died very sudden ly last week. In Crawford county, recently, Mr. George W. Rose was married to Miss Celia Thorne. Wo don't depend on pro verbs much, but this particular Koso has his Thorne. The Albany New* thus attacks the Morning News: Mr. Estill, of the Sa vannah Mounino News, is too modest to toll it, but it is nevertheless a fact, that he is putting up a magnificent throe-story, granite-front printing house for the News. Ho is erecting it on the corner of White ker street and Hay lane (Oliver’s old paint and oil stand), and when completed will bo tho finest printing establishment south of tho Baltimore Sun office. The News has proven a bonanza to Mr. Estill, and we arc proud to congratulate him on his wonderful success. A man who mnkes such n paper as the News deserves the smiles of fortune. * Thus the Blakely New*: “Col. Thomas Hardeman, when in our Agricultural So ciety last week, made everybody fair crazy, by announcing that arrangements were being made with the railroads to carry passengers the round trip for two dollars from all parts of the Stuto —that the arrangements were completed as to main lines, and ho supposed soon would be as to the branch roads. To insure a very large attendance no more successful step could bo taken than this. The want of means to get there, even on the one fare schedule, will keep thousands at home who would go on tho two dollar tickets. Just let it he announced through the pa pers that passengers from this section of country can go and return from Fort Gaines or Arlington for two dollars and our people, old and young, would be found scrambling around in search of that two dollars more diligently than they ever did after half a dollar to go to a circus. We believe, from the increased travel it would induce, it would pay the roads. The increase from tins section would certainly he not less than five fold. Try it. gentlemen, it will be a success." Quitman Reporter : Operations under the management of the new company, the Brooks County Manufacturing Asso ciatiou, wore resumed in the cotton and wool factory nt Quitman yesterday. The mill lias been supplied with all the latest improved machinery, and the company will now bo able to turn out the best qualities of cotton and woolen goods, and compete with any of tho Southern manufacturing establishments in prices. They can now supply the trado of this section with all the different grades of cotton and woolen goods cheaper than they can be brought here from elsewhere, and we trust that our merchants and peo ple generally will encourage this home enterprise by giving it their undivided patronage. We shall have more to say upon this subject nt another time. The same paper says: “We were pit ased to have a call on Tuesday afternoon last from Mr. D. 11. Elliott,formerly of Florida, but at present connected with the Allan, tic A Gulf Railroad Company, Mr. El liott is visiting the different points along the line of ami tributary to this railroad on a mission that entitles him and his en terprise to the commendation and earnest consideration of our people. His object is to induce the cultivation of fruits and vegetables in this section for shipment to the great Northwest, where such com modities eauuot be grown in such quan tities and varieties as we have them here; and he informs us that the A. A G. R. li. is having cars built for the special pur pose of carrying fruit and [vegetables, and that they can be chartered to run through to any of the Northern or Western mar kets at low rates. He suggests the or ganization of fruit and vegetable grow ers' associations. We think the idea a good one, and will have more to say upon the subject at another time. Atlanta Commonwealth-Herald-. We regret very much to learu that Colonel W. Leroy Broun has resigned his chair as Professor of “natural ,philosophy, as tronomy and mechanics” of the Uni versity of Georgia. He goes to take a position in Vanderbilt College. This will be a great loss to the University and to the State of Georgia. No one knows how to appreciate Professor Broun unless they have been under him. As one who was under his tutorage for two years, we can speak of him from a personal knowl edge of his merits. He has thoroughly identified himself with the educational interests of the State —indeed, of the whole South, and will be greatly missed. He • is a thoroughly scientific man, his fame as such spreading over the whole South, and over the whole of the Western Continent Professor Broun was a benefit to the insti tution, which it can ill afford to lose. His name in connection with the faculty is a great benefit to the institution. He had the interest of the University at bis very heart, and was unceasing and tire less in his efforts to build it up. He did more for the elevating and building up of the institution than any other man in connection with it, and if the Trustees permit him to go to Vanderbilt, they will commit one of the grossest errors. We don’t know exactly his cause for resign ing, although we have some strong sus picions as to it. If our surmises are right, tho Trustees can easily remove the causes of his discontentment, and get him to remain. By doing so they will keep a great many at the University who will otherwise leave. A Macon man who ate a dozen raw oysters the other night dreamed that thirteen blue-eyed devils, with pink nos"N. were currying him with the shells. The Count Johannes B. Gormanne claims that Europe is entirely devoid of glass-eyed men. This is almost equal to the charge that no bob-tail ponies grow in Normandy. Thus the Atlanta Constitution : “ A telegram states that the Savannah News has purchased the Adver fixer, thus leaving but one journal in that city. Here is a chance for the T. J., or some other idiot to start anew daily— and play out immediately after starting it. Savannah can not, and never did, support but one good, first-class daily, and that it has in the News.” The Whitesburg News has been re moved to Carrollton. The nocturnal hunters of Carroll county are eagerly pursuing the wary opossum. , Mr. J. Percy Stevens, the well-known copper- plate engraver and artist, has re turned to Atlanta from his Canada trip. In Columbus, on Saturday, a brace of elopers from Lee county, Mr. William Sturgis and Miss Sarah Jane Elkins, were made one. Gainesville is clamoring for a city park- General Robert Toombs will probably deliver an address in Gainesville this week. It is stated that James Johnson, for merly Collector of Customs in this city, has resigned the Judgeship of the Chatta hoochee Circuit, and that the Governor has appointed Hon. Martin J. Crawford in his stead. Crops in Hancock county are said by the Time* and Planter to present a very discouraging aspect. Thus Col. Fitch, of the Newnan Starr It gratifies us to hear from that veracious sheet, the Savannah News, that Gen. Joseph E. Johnston will not take the po sition formerly occupied by Pharaoh as commander of the army of Egypt. We are glad to know that “Old Joe,” as the boys used to call him, will remain at home. The wife of Mr. J. E. Donaldson, of Bainbridge, died very suddenly last week. The Brunswick Appeal is now in its eighth volume. The Oglethorpe Ech/> says: “ There is a point on the road between Crawford and Lexington where lightning has struck three years in succession, not more than ten feet apart. We would like to induce a book agent to build there.” The rice crop in Appling is excellent. In Heard county there can be found white men who will knock a negrit down and rob him of his boots. Mr. P. Ledford was killed in Lumpkin county the other day, and his wife seri ously injured by a runaway accident. The Telegraph thinks that the net cash balance the State Fair will give the mer chants of Macon, will be at the very least SIOO, (KM). The up-passengcr train on the Macon and Brunswick Railroad was ditched last Thursday. Jack Brown, having unearthed his ground-hog, wants his name kept out of the newspapers. The house of Dr. T. L. Anderson, of Washington, Wilkes county, was burned the other night. Avery nearly successful attempt was made on Monday night of last week, as we learn from the Darien Gazette, to as sassinate Mr. W. J. Donnelly, the load of buck-shot fired from a gun passing within an inch of his head. The Charleston News and Courier says: “The Savannah Advertiser, a bright and energetic newspaper, has been bought by Mr. J. 11. Estill, and consolidated with the Savannah News, of which he is the proprietor. This is the drift of the news paper business. Consolidations, by re ducing the number of newspapers, en able the publishers of those which sur vive to give the public first-class journals, instead of the shabby concerns of which the country has so many. There was not business enougli in Suvannah to support two first rates, but the union of the News and Advertiser will give that city permanently one paper creditable to it in every way, one that will make money, and can, therefore, spend money freely. Next?” Tho Constitutionalist says that as in ventions aro the order of the day, Au gusta cannot afford to be behind the age, and now she brings Mr. Charles F. M. Bernhardt, an employe of the Georgia Railroad, to the front with a river boat, which he proposes to run without steam. Mr. Bernhardt showed us the drawing. It certainly looks very feasible, but being of any practical value is another thing— that remains to be seen. It is proposed to run the boat by a water wheel. This wheel will be aft; a large tank, will be built on the deck, and this is to be first supplied with water by means of a hand pump. The water from the tank then runs the stern wheel, and, after the boat is once in motion, its own action keeps tho tank supplied with water. There are several other points, which it is claimed add to the practicability of the invention, 1 and Mr. Bernhardt has no doubt that it will be a success. Under date of Macon, the 16th, Jeff Long, the notorious colored politician, issues the following : “Our good name as law-abiding, peaceable and order loviug citizens has been, within the last few weeks, most causelessly and malici ously attacked. The charge of insurrec tion has been made against us and heralded to the whole civilized world. We stand to-day charged with eouspiring to perpetuate deeds of savage barbarity, ami these charges have been published and scattered broadcast through the land, until, doubtless, strangers must naturally infer that we have neither education or religion—that we have all the vices and none of the virtues of the human race. Shall we yindicate our good name, or shall we remain quiet under a slanderous charge not made against us in the days of slavery, when an insurrection might have been profitable. Let us meet and hurl back the scurrilous misrepresenta tion, only a part and parcel of the in famous moans resorted to by wicked poli tical leaders to, at our expense, revel ‘in ill-gotten gains. We owe this to our own manhood, and to the honor of our wives ami children. Wherefore, as President of the last colored convention held in Georgia. I hereby call all colored members of the Legislature,constitutional convention, and other or present officials, chairmen of various executive commit tees, and such prominent gentle men as may have representations to make, to meet in Augusta, Georgia, Thursday, October 7th, 1875, at 12 o'clock, there ancl theu to deliberate and determine what advice to give our people, and what ac tion to take in the premises. The call is issued principally to the leaders, because it will be in the midst of the crop-gather ing time, and we deem it unnecessary to take too many from their employment.” Macon Telegraph: “Our dispatches this morning briefly report the suicide, in Atlanta, of Captain French, who ended his life by taking morphine. Captain H L. French, the deceased, was a citizen of Atnericus, but held a position under Jack Brown in the revenue office. At six o'clock yesterday morning he was found in his office in a dying condition. He was lying on his back, upon his desk, with his arms crossed upon his breast, and gasping his last breath away. It was too late to do anything for him, and he died in a very short while after being discovered. He left a letter addressed to Colonel Brown, in which he stated that he loved a woman, and could not live without dishonor unless he inarried her; but would not marry her and leave his children. He gave the name of the woman and stated also that she lived at No. on Thompson street in Atlanta, and left directions for Brown to provide her the means of returning to her family. It is understood that her home is in Southwest Georgia, and that she is re spectably connected. He further stated in his letter that it was generally consid ered that people who committed suicide are insane, but he was not He knew what he was about, and had taken eight grains of morphine, deliberately for the purpose of ending his life. This statement, he also said, would render an inquest and post mortem examination unnecessary. The letter was well written, and evinced great composure and determined pre meditation. Capt. French was a man of some means, and stood well in Americus. He was at one time Mayor of that city and the owner of the hotel there which bears his name. He was a man of pol ished manners, and was scrupulous in dress. He was about forty-five years of age and a widower with several children, upon whoin the dreadful circumstances of liis death will fall with crushing weight, He passed through Macon Friday night on his way to Atlanta.” Florida Affairs. Col. J. Ira Gore, of the Cedar Keys Journal, was in the city several days last week. Eau Gallie has not been moved recently. The only way to manage 001. Pratt, of the Palatka Herald, is to threaten him with a land-sink. It is easy to be arrested on a charge of murder in Florida. The only outfit you want is a cream-colored horse with a black mane and tail. The Palatka Herald learns that Rice creek is navigable for steamers nine miles above its mouth. At that point the Eng lish cultivated rice when in possession of that country. The flood-gates made of ce dar may be seen in a good state of preser vation. There are about six thousand acres of good land on this creek, all in one body, ready for colonization. Cedar Keys oysters are getting riper every day. “Powell’s,” a settlement on the bay shore, two and a half miles from Milton, is quarantined by Pensacola on account of the prevalence of a malignant fever there, and those who are caught break ing it will be sent to quarantine till frost. The latest intelligence as to the fever at “Powell’s” is that three more deaths are added to the mortality, making fourteen in all. The Jacksonville Union, alluding to the recent card of Dr. Hick's investigating committee, remarks; “The committee declared that no suspicion whatever of impropriety was attached to him, and the dispatch sent to the Savannah News was garbled, as per their card in this issue.” The committee made no such declaration, for that would have been a direct charge to the effect that the telegram was “garbled” in this office. No such insinuation was made by the gentlemen composing the committee. Orange county has a population of eight thousand. Mosquitoes broke up a camp-meoting on Indian river. The Press thinks our correspondent at Live Oak was unfortunate. At any rate, it will do no harm for the Press to make room for his card which we published recently. Greenleaf, of Jacksonville, has a pet alligator. The editor of the Sandford Journal has been presented with an India rubber tree. The Journal says that a small boy was bitten by a rattlesnake last week near the Section House, while engaged in picking cotton. The immediate inpouring of a goodly quantity of “ crooked whisky,” saved the little fellow’s life, and he is now recovering more rapidly from the wound than from the effects of such “lightning” medicine. The Sentinel says: “We were in formed Thursday last by oue of the most reliable residents of this place, that he had had a conversation a few days ago with a man who has seen the Pin-hook volcr.no. He lives within three miles of it, and is read}’ to conduct a party to it for a small consideration. He says it is a veritable volcano, and that the smoke issues from a hole in a huge rock. This will be of interest to some of the citizens of Gadsden and Jefferson counties, who are bent on distinguishing themselves in connection with this phenomenon. ’' South Carolina Affairs. A valuable horse, belonging to Mr. Bodenhamer, who drives the mail be tween Georgetown and Kingstree, was bitten by a rattlesnake last week, and died in less than two hours. J. T. Goldsmith, of Greenville, died on Sunday last. Last week a party of hunters in George town county killed sixteen deer. The machinery for the Piedmont cot ton factory is on the way, and experienced mechanics are at the place ready to put it up when it arrives, so as to be ready for the new cotton crop. The Sheriff of Georgetown, on last sale day, sold 535 acres of land for $l5O. William Taylor, one of the fishermen who was capsized in a boat off Folly Island on Saturday last, and who was supposed to have been drowned, turned up alive and in good spirits on South Bay on Tuesday. Mr. George Edwards, of Marion, died on the 10th inst. Between seventeen and twenty thou-, sand bales of cotton will be brought to Greenville this season, of which the f ic tories in the county will consume 15,000 bales. Mr. Anderson Newton died in Adams ville on Thursday night of last week, aged about 5jJ years. The Abbeville papers publish the pre rnium list of the seventh annual Fair in that county, on the 2Qth, 21st and 22d of October. At a late meeting in Walhalla it was re solved to hold a county agricultural fair on the 21st and 22d of October in that place, and to form a joint stock company; with a capital of $250,000, for the pur pose of haying annual fairs. At an election held at Willistou, on the South Carolina Railroad,on the 9th inst., the following officers were elected—be the Democratic ticket: R. W. McCreary, Intendant; W. H. Kennedy, J. F. S. Weathersbee, F. W. Youngblood, J. L- Lee, Wardens. The number of deaths within the city of Charleston for the week ending Sep tember 11, 1875, was 42, of which 17 were whites and 25 wore colored. Cotton is stored and insured in Green ville at about twenty-five cents per bale per month. Mr. Wm. 11. Stricklin, of Cheraw, has become associated with Mr. Little m pub lishing the Democrat. Bamberg, one qf the most thriving towns on the South Carolina Railroad, received sixty bales of new cotton on the 4th instant. A citizen of Greenville is buying cats. Ho wants 500. Rice birds are in countless numbers around Georgetown. The following were elected in Union on last Monday: For Intendent—John Rodger. Wardens—John L. Young, James Grant, W. A. Nicholson and David Johnson, Jr. Mr. J. B. C. Smith has been appointed treasurer of the Charlotte, Columbia and Augusta Railroad. Two boats belonging to the fishing fleet of Charleston, were capsized near ship bar, on the 12th instant, and out of nine men who composed their crews three were drowned. Several persons engaged in buying sto len cotton after dark in Lancaster county are to be indicted at the next term of the court for that county. Messrs. T. Tupper and Sons, corn mer chants of Charleston, have suspended. Thomas OweDS, Judge of Probate for Laureus county, died after a protracted illness, at his residence in that county on the 3d inst. On Monday last the schedule on the Spartanburg and Union Railroad was changed to winter running. A man, by the name of Whitman, was killed accidently in a well a few days ago in the lower portion of Laurens county. A similar accident also occurred in the upper portion of the county to John C. Arnold. The census of the corporate limits of Yorkville, taken by direction of the town authorities, has just been completed by Dr. A. L. Moore, who was appointed for that purpose. According to his re - port, the population is 1,311, of whom 691 are whites and 620 are blacks. A. L. Gresnon, paymaster in the United States army, was in Greenville day before yesterday, and circulated a goodly sum of money among the troops stationed there, Colonel Pride, of Rock Hill, was sum moned on Wednesday to hold ah inquest over the body of a stranger, who died the night previous at the house of Mr. Walker, the watchman at Catawba bridge. The particulars of his death are brief. Mr. Walker describes him as gentlemanly looking. He had a chill on Tuesday, and asked to remain during the night. The next morning he was found dead iu his bed. Some demon in human shape attempted to set the store of Mr. W. J. McLeod, of Lynchburg, Marion county, on fire a short time since, by rolling a barrel of turpentine against the house and setting it on fire. The same night Borne one piled some shavings on the steps of Mr. Carpenter’s house, of the same place, and set them on fire, but fortunately they burnt out without setting the store on fire. Mr. Love Flowers, of Marion county, died on the 10th instant. AFFAIRS. the *tatk fair. COB. The statement having found circula tion th® the Agricultural Society, at their approaching fair, to be held at Macon on the 18th of October next, had “offered no premium for either the best sample or largest yield of rice.” Secretary Johnston has written a letter to the editor of the Darien Timber Gazette, in which the an nouncement was first made, declaring t statement a mistake. In the full pre mium list, contained in the pamphlet of the fair, for a copy of which we are in debted to Gen. Harrison, we find on page 23 the following premiums offered: 144. Best acre of Rice, (uplaad)..., $25 00 145. Best acre of Rice, (lowland) 25 00 184. Best bushel of Rice 10 00 Secretary Johnston, calling attention to this, says that the same premiums have stood upon the premium list from year to year, for the last four years, with the ex ception that >SO instead of $25, has here tofore been offered, and not one entry has come from the “seaboard” counties. Think °f if— a t the fair of 1873, in Macon, for the best acre of lowland rice there was but a single entry—and that from Pike county in the upper part of Middle Georgia. This crop was produced by Mr. R. M. Brooks of that county, and yielded one hundred bushels. “Thomas county usually competes for the best acre of upland rice, Dr. P. S. Bower, of that county, having made as high as ninety-two bushels to the acre. “I think you will have to take back your statement, and stir up the 'seaboard counties’ for not coming out and exhib iting at the State Fair ‘their great staple and plantation product. ’ “The fair has done its duty by offering liberal premiums for rice crops from year to year; but the ‘seaboard counties’ have not availed themselves of the invita tion.” Extension of the Atlantic and Gulf Kail road. The project of extending the Atlantic and Gulf Railroad to its original ter minus at Pollard, is again attracting in terest, and it is to be hoped that the im portance and value of the work so appa rent at present, will commend to our en terprising business men the necessity of prompt action. That the completion of this work would result in grand bene fit to Savannah and give increased and valuable stimulus to our trade, is so patent as to be universally acknowledged- In this connection we com mend to the careful consid eration of our business community, the following brief editorial from the Valdosta Times, which puts the matter in a plain, practical and sensible light: “The attitude taken by the Central in reference to the Charleston and Savannah Road, will certainly open the eyes of the business men of that city to the impor tance of the early extension of the above road. It is that city’s greatest artery, and its extension would infuse new life into everything. The solid men of Sa vannah ought to take hold of the enter prise. Aid would flow in all along the whole line of road. We believe that our town and county would materi ally aid the work. Can anything be done? Certainly the time for masterly inactivity in this matter is past. We hope that our contemporaries in the Forest City, and along the line of the road will take hold of the matter and agitate it into some kind of shape. It is the one great enterprise of South Georgia. Put the ball in motion.” TIIE STATE FAIR ANl> THE HIFJ.E TEAMS. A MUuonceptiun on the Subject. A day or so ago we printed a paragraph in relation to the rules and regulations which have been adopted in regard to the rifle shooting to take place at the State Fair. Mr. Frank Molina, of this city, wrote to Mr. Malcolm Johnston, the Sec retary, to get his interpretation of one or two obscure regulations. Mr. Johnston replied that the rules did not require that a rifle team contending for the prize at the State Fair should be composed of members of particular organizations—a very important piece of information, which we lost no time in giving to the public. It appears, however, that Mr. John ston was rather hasty in his interpretation of the rules, for, in a letter dated the 16th, he asks Mr. Molina to correct the impression conveyed in the paragraph in the Morning News. Mr. Johnston states that since his letter of the 10th he has looked into the rules and regulations more closely, and he finds that his inter pretation was incorrect. He therefore revokes the decision made, and says that the evident intention and gpirit of the rules are that a team must be composed of members of a single military company or of a single r ; fle as sociation. Otherwise, Mr. Johnston says, the crack shots in any community can club together, form a team, and have a better chance to win a prize than the teams already organized from the military companms and rifle associations in the State. ISiinkrupt 1C oil. The following proceedings in bank ruptcy have been filed since last Friday in the office of Mr. James McPherson, Clerk of the United States District Court: Petitions for final discharge have been filed by— Virginius G.

We gather from the Columbus En quirer of Saturday that during the cotton week ending Friday night, the Western Railroad of Alabama brought to Columbus en route for Savan nah and New York, 166 bales cotton—o from Mobile, 165 from Montgomery, 0 from Selma, 0 from Qpelika. West Point and other stations, 0 from Vicksburg, 0 from New Orleans. total though movement by this route, since September Ist, is 341 bales —35 from Mobile, 216 from Mont omery, 0 from Selma, 0 from West Point, Opelika, etc., 0 from Vicksburg, 0 from New Orleans. During same time the Mobile and Girard Railroad has brought up 14 through bales against 50. A Sweeping Sale. Yesterday morning a countryman from Bulloch county came to town with his horse and cart and the usual load at this season, a bale of cotton. After consider able exertion and no little opposition from some of the Market square mer chmts, he succeeded in disposing of the bale to Messrs. BlitehA Miller. Not sat isfied with this success our Bulloch coun ty friend determined to convert his horse, cart and appurtenances into “ rag money and relieve his mind of further trouble. A brief search resulted in find ing a purchaser in Messrs. Wilson & Lee. It is now suggested this Bulloch county team and “landaulet ” pan be hired for a dash to Thunderbolt. This is one of the most sweeping sales of the season. Subscribe for The Weekly Register , a Protest ant paper, published by Otto & Hubbard, 157 Bay street, Savannah, Ga.

They commanded the admira tion of the true and the brave in every land. But how few admire a fine head enveloped in grey hair and 'whiskers — very few. We all love admiration and nothing in our appearance is more calcu lated to secure it than pretty hair. If old age, sickness or sorrow has robbed you of it, you can regain it by the use of Dr. Tutt’s Hair Dye. Its popularity is so great that it can be found on the shelves of every druggist in the land. THE COTTON CROP. T#ld Dale* Haipd far the Year, 3,£27,. 545- laleredlog Figure* Relative to the Overland movement. New Orleans, September 17. — The Crop Committee of the National Cotton Exchange issued their report to-day, making the total crop for the year ending September 1, 1875, 3,827,845 bales; of which 2,074.448 were exported foreign, 1,200,473 taken by home spinners, in cluding 126,550 for net Southern con sumption ; sea island crop 16.687 bales, including 8,139 Florida; 1,074 Georgia, 1,308 South Cirolina, and 166 Texas: average weight of crop 468 pounds per bale, sea island 392 pounds per bale. Relative to the overland movement the report says it occurred to our committee that if in compu ting the overland movement, state ments could be obtained of the rail roads leading out from the points of crossing on the Ohio and Mississippi rivers, setting forth not only the aggre gate quantity of cotton transported, but also detailing points of destination, a complete check would be afforded against statements of overland receipts at the Atlantic ports, and vice versa. A diffi culty in the way of obtaining such a check has hitherto been the custom of biffing cotton through to delivery ports anti changing by telegraph the destina tion of such shipments while in transit to miffs in the interior. Special inquiry has been made upon this point, and we find that little, if any, through cotton has been diverted from the original points of destination this year. In tracing the overland shipments as shown in the an nexed statement we have in all cases credited these as receipts at the first de livery port touched. This was necessary in order to AVOID CONFUSION, and especially to conform with the cus tom of counting cotton as net at the first port at which it is received or through which it may pass. For example, cottons ahippvd from tlio iutorinr t.o Providence, passing through Now York, is credited to New York, and so with like shipments via other ports to ports or to the mills The difficulty of working up these de tails has been enhanced by the fact that few transportation companies kept their books so as to be enabled to furnish any thing but the aggregate quantity of cot tons handled, and it was therefore neces sary to overhaul this year’s business, item by item, to arrive at the facts. In most cases this was done by railroad officials themselves, whilst in others access was cheerfully given to the representatives of the National Cotton Exchange to all re cords from which could be extracted the necessary information. With these re marks, your committee submit the fig ures of THE OVERLAND MOVEMENT for tl year ending August 31, 1875 : Shipped from St. Louis, 128,805 ; carried north across the Mississippi, at Hannibal, 8,425 ; carried north from Grand Tower and Carbondale, 455 ; carried north from Cairo, via Cairo and Vincennes Railroad, 32,717; carried north from Cairo, via Il linois Central Railroad, 37,170 ; carried north from Evansville, via Evansville and Crawfordsville Railroad, 9,423; carried north from Louisville, via Ohio and Mis sissippi Railroad, 58,142; carried north from Louisville, via Jeffersonville, Madi son and Indianapolis Railroad, 116,721 ; cairied north from Louisville, via Louis ville, Cincinnati and Lexington Railroad, 21,390 ; received at Cincinnati by river, 3? 225 ; shipped* to mills adjacent to the river to points above without touching at C’ncinnati, exclusive of cottons to Mays’ille, counting in South ern consumption, 10,479 ; to tal, 456,952 ; less shipments from St. Louis to Louisville, counted at both places, 1,047; shipments from Carbon dale to St. Louis, counted at both places, 67 ; shipments from Cairo to St. Louis, counted at both places, 975; shipments from St. Louis to Cincinnati by river, 61 ; shipments from St. Louis to Mem phis by river, 33 ; shipments from St. Louie to New Orleans by river, 302 ; total 2,485; total overland 454,467; deduct receipts overland at New York, Boston, Providence, Philadelphia and Baltimore, 252,616; shipments from Mobile and other outports by rail and river to inte rior, 151,358 ; less deducted at New Or leans, 130,228 ; less deducted at Savan uah, 4,362; less deducted at" Charleston, 5,065; less deducted at hforfolk, 1,456; total to be deducted from shipments from Mobile 141,111, leaving 10,247; making total receipts at New York, Boston, etc., and interior, 262,863, leaving direct over land movement not elsewhere counted 191,604.

THE ENGLISH COTTON TRADE. A Liverpool View of the Situation. Ths cotron circular of Smith, Edwards & Cos., Liverpool, of August 31st, has the following remarks pertinent to the pres ent condition of the cotton and cotton goods trade in England: The Manchester market during the past month has not varied to any great extent; its general tone has improved somewhat, chiefly owing to the strike at Oldham. Already, it is supposed, the consumption of cotton has been reduced some 40jOQQ or 50,000 bales in all. This his given firmness to all that class of yarns affected by the strike, chiefly 32’s twist, which is largely produced at Oldham; indeed, in some of them an advance of id. to Jd. has taken place. 4 fair amount @f gen eral business has also been transacted lately in most other departments of the market, and the extreme depression which characterized it so long has consid erably abated; at the same time there has been no great recovery, either in tone or price. Stocks of goods have not been cleared out, and foreign markets give no encouragement; merchants continue ex tremeb cautious, credit is contracted in all financial quarters, and the business doing is mainly from hand to mouth. It is not thought that the Oldham diffi culty wili be settled before long, and when the mills resume work there the tendency may again be to over supply the Manchester market; at the same time great relief has been already given by the five weeks’ stoppage of mills, and we would not be surprised if the beneficial effect was felt all next year in that class of yarn. For some time past the produc tion of yarn has been increasing faster than looms to manufacture it, and now the equilibrium has been restored ; in deed it is probable that weaving will be the worse trade for some time, and great oomplaints are made of its unprofitable ness at present. Looking at the market merely from a statistical point of view, we see nothing in the prospect of supply to frighten holders. There is no doubt that the con sumption of the world has exceeded the production of cotton the last twelve months; estimates of invisible supply vary, but all agree that it is less than lak year, while the visible supply is 180,000 bales short, mostly, however, in bales of small weight. We consider that a crop of four millions would not be enough for next year, but we are not inclined at present to rely on that figure. We think the chances are in favor of a larger yield. Statistical considerations, however, are overruled for the present by the bad state of trade; the utter want of confidence prevailing everywhere, but especially in America, and the poverty of cotton spec ulators and importers makes it most dif ficult to galvanize the- market. We ex pect this depression will tell powerfully on prices the coming season. If the crop threatens to be short it will neutralize it to some extent, but if large estimates prevail later in the season, and receipts are liberal, we should expect to see drooping markets. We never remember a time when the speculative spirit was more entirely out of the cotton trade, and this will be felt as soon as the next crop has to be moved in quan tity. For some time, however, the figures will look pretty strong, shipments to England will be long of commencing, as the Continental and American spinners are bare, and will take the early receipts; our stocks will run down rapidly, and as holders are relieved they may become firmer, therefore it is not unlikely that the price of the spot will be steadier than that of arrivals. At the same time the controlling influence will come from America. Our market has little intrinsic strength, and in the main it will follow the currents of opinion that rule New York, where the “bear” element decidedly predominates at present. Continental politics are causing a little uneasiness. Some uneasiness also exists respecting our relations with China; the government of that country seems in clined to take a course that may precipi tate a quarrel. It is impossible to tell what the result will be of the negotia tions that are now pending. THEATRICALS IN THE SOUTH. What the Season Promises to Be. The New York Tribune, of the 14th, has the following to say about the South ern stage: “ There are indications that the field of theatrical enterprise in the South©**!* Stale® will Do worked somewnai more extensively and vigorously this sea son than in previous seasons for a num ber of years. It is an interesting, profit able and important business and art domain ; and prosperity within its pre cincts would be accepted as a happy augury for the good fortune of the South. In the cities which lie to the south of Washington and St. Louis —if we except New Orleans —the theatres appear to lack local management, to have no stock companies, and to depend on itinerant combinations. Thus they are open ed and shut spasmodically, and their health is precarious. This was not always so; for, in years before the war, Richmond, Charleston, Savan nah, Montgomery and Mobile were excel lent theatrical cities, and good stock companies as well as the leading stars rarely failed to flourish in all of them. About the year 1848, for example, Wil liam Rufus Blake, H. A. Perry, Charles Burke, James Stark, William Chippen dale (the elder), and George Jordan wore members of the stock company—en gaged, and prosperous, for the full season —of the Richmond Theatre j and this was a company that could not easily be matched now, in any city of the Republic. In 1851 Joseph Jefferson and John A. Ellsler managed in Charleston, and frequently acted in neighboring cities. In 1858 the stock company of the Richmond Theatre —then managed by John T. Ford—comprised, among many others, Joseph Jefferson, Edwin Adams and Mary Devlin—who subse quently became the wife of Edwin Booth. It was in that season, at the Richmond Theatre, that Edwin Booth appeared as Henry the Fifth, Shakspeare’s historical play of that name having been then pro duced for the first time in the United States. These facts indicate the class of players and the kind of dramatic enter tainment that abounded in Southern cities twenty years ago, M. W. Canning, at about that time, managed in Montgome ry, S. B. Duffield in Mobile, and John Green (“honest John”) in Nashville. Twenty years ago Jarrett and Ford were young managers in Baltimore, aud in their stock companies and among their associates were John E. Owens, Joseph Jefferson, John S. Clarke, El win Booth, Edwin Adams, C. W- Tayleure aud H. L. Bateman. The Baltimore home of Mr. Bateman was then the headquarters of theatrical life in tjiat region. The Rate man girls, infant prodigies then, already gave denotements of a bright future. Old Cowell was about, with his quips and cranks. And from that coterie have emerged leading actors, famous now-a days, on both the English and American stage, and managers who have succeeded alike in New York, Washington and Lon don. Since the war—which, of course, al most killed the Southern theatres' —efforts have been now and again made, particu larly in Memphis and Richmond, to maintain for a full season the old fash ioned stock company theatre; but they have not been encouraged by success. The expenses of carrying on the business were found to have increased; and, in brief, whatever of good fortune was attainable has accrued to star actors, of acknowledged reputation, who traveled with their own companies. In Charleston the theatre waa destroyed during the war; but since then the Adger building, formerly a dry goods shop, has been turned into an “Academy of Music,” and this property, which origin ally cost $200,000, and which was altered at the expense of $30,000, was recently sold to John E. Owens —the admirable and distinguished comedian—for less than $50,000. In Savannah the old theatre still exists, which was built nearly sixty years ago. In Augusta, Ga., Girardey’s Opera House was lately advertised to be sold at Sheriff’s sale. In Atlanta there is a pretty little theatre, which was erected by the enterprise of a French resident of that city, M. Louis de Give— who certainly bears a very good name for a public benefactor. The Mobile theatre is managed by a well known journalist and dramatist, Mr. T. and. De- Leon, who often pleads the cause of art in the columns of the Mobile Hegister. The Richmond theatre was both burnt and rebuilt during the war. In Raleigh they have a neat little opera house; and in Wilmington, N. C., a part of the City Hall is set aside for the ch-ama;'but in North Carolina the cost of a license to give theatrical performances is so great and the chances of doing a good business seem so little, that but few entertain ments are ever given in that State. The three needful permits- State, ap.s town—for one exhibition, cost more in North Carolina than all the cities north of Richmond together, It is reasonable to assume i hat quite as much money is Upended now, as in any prevvyj g Beasoili U p on theatrical en tertainments in the South; but this ex penditure, both as to time and place, is more concentrated than before, Jefferson and Owens are especially popular in the South. In 1873 the former's average of receipts was $1,200 a night in places where, twenty years earlier, he used to rejoice if, both as manager and actor, he got S2OO. Edwin Booth has not acted in any of the Atlantic States south of Maryland for over fifteen years; and the probability is that his journey through the South this season will be quite a triumphal progress. Mr. Ray mond, as “Col. Sellers,” is also going to make the circuit of the Southern thea tres, and doubtless “they are waiting for him now.” Mr. Booth will not appear in Washington, but he will visit all the other South Atlantic cities, “Col. Sel lers ’ will be in Washington when Con gress meets, and will hold up to legisla tors a glass wherein they may see the in most part of them. These, and indeed all the prominent actors who visit the South this season, go thither under the management of Mr. Ford, of Baltimore, who is a preferred lessee of the Southern theatres, and to whose enterprising plans is mainly due the approaching revival of theatricals on the Southern stage. The President is credited with a little joke at the expense of the editorial pro fession. The people of Vineland, N. J., have been trying to secure the removal of Postmaster Landis, who, it will be remem bered, lodged a bullet in Editor Carrulh’s brain. The President, upon hearing of the matter, asked Jewell whether there was any irregularity in Mr. Landis’s ac counts. “Not any,” replied ' the Post master-General. “Is the office well con ducted? ” “No complaint on that score.” “Intemperate habits?” “Nothing of the kind charged.” “ What is the objec tion ? ” “The petitioners say he is rather obnoxious, and that a change wonld be satisfactory.” “ Well,” replied the Pres ident, “he doesn’t appear to have done anything bat shoot an editor, and I don’t see how I can remove him on that.” Not Entirely Without Reason.— Bundy has been married two weeks, and has left his wife. Bundy is a little man, and his wife weighs two hundred and forty pouuds, and was the relict of the late Peter Potts. About ten days after marriage Bundy was surprised, on awakening in the morning, to find his better half sitting up in bed crying as if her heart would break. Astonished, he asked the cause of her sorrow, but re ceiving no reply he began to surmise that there must be some secret on her mind that she withheld from him, that was the cause of her anguish; so he re marked to Mrs. B. that, as they were married, she should tell him the cause of her grief, so, if possible, he could avert it, and after considerable coaxing be elicited the following from her : “Last night I dreamed I was single, and as I walked through a well-lighted street I came to a store where a sign in front advertised husbands for sale. Thinking it curious, I entered, and ranged along the wall on either side were men with prices affixed to them. Such beautiful men : some for $1,090, some for SSOO, and so on to $l5O. And as I had not that amount I could mot purchase.” Thinking to console her, Bundy placed his arm lovingly around her aud asked : “And did you see any men like me there ?” “Oh, yes,” she replied, drawing away from him; “lots like you; they were tied up in bunches, like asparagus, and sold for ten cents per bunch. ” Bundy got up and went to see his law yer as to whether he had sufficient ground for a divorce. — JY. T. Commercial Ad vertiser. The Houston Telegraph has the follow ing account of a fight between Captain Eddins, Superintendent of the Galves ton, Harrisburg and San Antonio Rail road, and Frank Stearns, Mayor of Har risburg, Texas: Mayor Steams sent a written challenge to Captains Eddins, de manding the satisfaction due oue gentle man from another, according to the code. To this Captain E. sent a verbal reply that he was not a duellist, but if Mr. Stearns wanted satisfaction to “come and get it.” Shortly afterward Captain Eddins saw Stearns approaching him with a shotgun, aud when Captain Eddins left the house to meet him, the gun was levelled at him. Eddins had a pistol in his hand, which he carried by his side, never raising it. He walked deliberately up to Stearns, under cover of the gun, until he reached him, when he grasped the gun, at the same time throwing his pistol to the ground. Wrenohing the gun from Stearns, Eddins struck him several times with his lists, one of the blows breaking some of Stearns’ ribs. The parties were separated, and Mr. Stearns conveyed to his home, where it is thought his in juries will confine him for several weeks. An Incident at the New York City Hall. —A meanly dressed woman with a babe in her arms went to the City Hall early yesterday morning. Her husband had several weeks ago lost his job on tho public works, and had been unable to get employment*elsewhere. Starvation be came frighteningly probable. The wife told Alderman Rower of her plight, and he gave her a letter to Commissioner Por ter asking for the reinstatement of the husband. “Nothing for him,” was the answer that she got. Next she resolved to appeal to Mayor Wickham, and for hours she stood at the entrance to his of flee. The lackeys pushed her aside to let in politicians, saying, “You oan’t get in here; more important people are wait ing.” The time of the Mayor’s recep tion of visitors passed, and at last she was told, “You’re too late now.” After that she sat on the steps of the City Hall weeping.— N.

( General Remarks,—The trade of the city the past week has continued good, and a fair aggre gate amount of goods have been sold. Ihe mild weather so far has to a certain extent been a bar to the fall trade, as consumers have delayed their purchases of heavier goods upt’U inch time as they are compelled to make them. As soon, how ever, as the cold weather sets in, it is thought the trade will be very brisk, and many merchants an ticipate a heavier trade than last year aud the year previous. The past pay or two of cool weather has had the effect of hurrying a nun l , her of near-by retailers in the market, who have bought more freely of woolcp goods than at any other time sinpe the opening of trade. Mpch satisfaction is expressed on the part of jobbers at the cautious manner in which all mer chants are making their purchases, aud are of the opinion, as their experience has demons trated", that, really sound buyers limit their purchases in quantity, preferring frequent returns to the mar ket. There have been no important changes in the market the past weeit, either in prices or other wise. The market generally is firm and prices well sustained. In flour, however, we have had an irregular market. Favorite brands from old wheat have been scarce and have brought very, full pricey in a small way ; but flours, prime old wheat, and irregular lots of all sorts, have been neglected, and prices have shown a weakening pendency. Cotton.— We have had a very Irregular market of spots. The early part of the week prices declined steadily under the free receipts at the ports, increasing stock, find depressing foreign advices. The last two days, however, there has been a decided improve*u eE *hi the tone aud a slight advance in prices, which hare teea sustained up to the closing of the market this evening.
