Savannah Wechtu flew* WATI ltl>AV. 11l TOIIKK 2, IST*. Affairs In Georgia. Printers will do well to remember that savannah is crowded with members of ; the craft. A journey here in search of ; work will be in vain. Gen. D. M. Du Rose is known in bis section as the "poet laureate of the bar.” j Major Thompson Allan, one of the Ts^! rom * neilt citiitoru* of Ranks county, A pelican has been captured in Sa vannah. Mr. Christian Rinns has received the Democratic nomination for the Legisla ture. The gin house of Mr. W. Bryant, of Putnam county, was burned the ether day. Mr. .John Ezell, of J asper county, is dead. Captain H. H.Colquitt has been chosen one of the Directors of the National Lumbermen's Association. They shoot a negro in Decatur county now simply for stealing cotton seed. Tho lies. Dr. DoVotie, of Griftiu, is ill. r l he citizens of Thornasville are offer ing over one thousand dollars in special premiums at their fair. The saw-mill and gin of Messrs. Wisen haker A Crews, of Valdosta, were burned recently. When an Atlanta policeman hears the report of a gun or pistol, he instinctively feels of himself to see whereabouts he is hit. A Griffin negro bet another negro two dollars that he could get off the down traiu two miles from town, lie did get off, and the passengers say he looked for a few minutes like a cart wheel, The winner of the bet is waiting -until after the funeral before he duns the widow for the money. "You look like von were going to the Lunatic Asylum, ' said a Macon man the other day, to a Jones county man who was riding by the Drown House on a mule. ‘‘How fur is it, stranger?” queried Jones, stopping his animal. “Oh, only a little ways,” answered the Macon man. ‘‘Well it’s dam lucky for your kin that they ain’t got fur to take you.” The Ma con man said to those around that ho thought he would go over and pay Sam Farrar a little hill that he owed him. When a Forsyth man meets a Harms vilie man, he can get along pretty well if he doesn’t say something about ten thousand bules of cotton. Otherwise they clinch. If two Savannah base hall clubs go to Thomasville, Superintendent Haines, of tho Atlantic and Gulf ltoad, will pass them free. Ho will also transport free the horses of tho Valdosta Knights who have entered for the tournament. Tho fair is going to ho a big thing. An Augusta man faints when you tread on his dog’s tail. The dog itself takes no notice of tho accident. We aro nioro than grateful to our brethren of the press for the compli mentary notices and kind words they are flinging at the Mousing News. The very air stems full of them. Three plucky Atlanta hoys, Edward Young, Stophon Terry ami George W. Terry, Jr., are going to start a daily amateur paper. The Dalton Citizen is told by old miners that there are better prospects for mines in the mountains of Northeast Georgia than in Colorado, while tho expense is about one-tenth less. Avery strong pressure Ims been brought to bear upon Governor Smith to him to commute tho sentence of Brinkley, tlx Nownan wife murderer, to imprisonment for life. You would lie surprised to see how fa cettous the Dalton Citizen is getting to bo. Here is u paragraph : ‘‘Estill, of the Savannah News, must he the T. J. of Georgia, lie is building anew four story granite front and has gobbled up tho AdoeHbir. If Estill is not Governor it won't bo our fault. - ’ In regard to Colonel Lockett’s well known suit against Die Brunswick and Albany Uniiroftd, the Albany News an nounces that the Supreme Court has re versed Judge Wright’s ruling at Cham bers, on the sufficiency of the bond and motion of plaintiff, and instructed the court below to allow the motion to reduce the attachment, and let the suit proceed. They must really bo troubled with Bo homiuns in Atlanta. A gentleman of that city iloscrioes them exactly. Ac cording to the Constitution, ho says that Bohemians live equally upon friend and foe, auil have the chock of tho devil. A Gwinnett county cat treed soven rata tho other day. Thus the Albany News: Mr. Estill, proprietor of tho Savannah Morning News, has purchased tho Advertiser of that oity, and consolidated it with tho Morning News. This gives Savannah one daily paper only, and if tho Morning Nws oontinuea at its present rate that city has no need of another. Clayton county will make barely more than a half crop of cotton this year. Col. James M. Calhoun, of Atlanta, has been stricken with paralysis. The citizens of Columbus feasted their eyes ou a six-mule wagou-load of corn manufactured at home. A small cyclone passed over Fayette county the other day. It. would have gone to Atlanta, but Col. William Moore was sick. Au effort is making in Atlanta to start a Magdalen’s Home in that city. A little boy from the country actually got lost in Macou tho other day. The police, with that life-long fidelity to na turo that marks every true detective, be gun to hunt iu the swamps, but tho lad was found iu Cotton Avenue feasting on shrimp-heads. The Albany News advocates colored re- Nriuation societies as the only means of preventing tho utter demoralization of that race. On the 7th of October the Quitman Jlejsirter will issue an edition of three thousand copies. This will he a good opportunity for our merchants to extend their business in that direction. Mr. John Bryant, a well-known citizen of Houston county, is dead. An old ntau named Fisher was run over and killed by the cars at Gainesville the .other day. Tbe Greensboro Herald gives an ac mrrttut of r very remarkable case of som nanihulism which occurred mar that place a few nights ago. A negro boy, about fourteen years old, who had assisted in taking bee tree and hiviug the bees, in a piece of woods some mile or more from home, got up in his sleep during the night, and going to where the lnve had boon left, shouldered it and brought it to the bouse, without waking, having crossed several deep gullies and three ten-rail fences. The Home Commercial remarks: The Savannah News has recently purchased the Advertiser aud consolidated the two papers under the old name of the News. The city of Savannah has been more lib - oral iu "the support of her newspapers than any city in Georgia, and yet one of them, not fiudiug the business protitable. has ceased to exist. The News is proba bly the best appointed newspaper and printing establishment in the State. Mr. jr 11. Kstill, the proprietor, is a gentle man thoroughly conversant with all the details of the business ; he is a master of his profession, aud the healthy condition of his paper is the best evidence of the fact. Major Thompson. Mr. Harris, aud a fuil corps of editors, keep its pages well filled. May the News continue to be, what it has" been for years, one of the leading journals of the South. Thus tbe Quitman Reporter : Mr. Geo. N Nichols has sold the Savannah Adver tiser to Mr.J. H. Estill, of the Morning News, and retires from journalism. All subscriptions and contracts for advertis ing will be carried out by the Morning News, which will, of course, be satisfac tory to all concerned. We are sorry to Ree"Mr. Nichols (who, though not exactly Leditor by trade, suited himself to cir- Ketances, and made one of the most laragrapkers on the Georgia press), ke the quill and leave the craft ; |i he has delivered his barque into Eds, and we feel confident that nor his patrons will have to regret it. Estiil is the best fcuywspaper financier that we know, and ICol Thompson, Harris and Richardson Lre just a little ahead of any other trio at [work together on the press of the State. The Hews, as a daily paper, is now witk- Lout competition in Southern Georgia and twiddle Florida, and we shall expect to £ee it grow better > aud BP* 9 ** ita wider every day. The papers are alluding to the new three- story building of the Morning News. Fellow-citizens, it is a four- story granite front with a cupola. . A great deal of travel is passing through Macon for Florida, owing to the little discrepancy between the Central and Sa vannah and Charleston Railroads at this city. Probably you think the Thomasville Fair is going to be a small concern. Just drop down and disappoint yourself in re gard to that matter. A colored horse-thief is the only sen sation Meriwether county can afford. We are glai to learn that Mr. Revill, of the Greenville Vindioitor, is rapidly recovering from the serious injuries re ceived in attempting to pass himself off as the Hon. Potiphar Peagreen. Water man, of tho LaGrange Reporter, will please govern himself accordingly. Considerable colored corn -stealing is going on in Troup county. Aleck Nicholson, the colored person who formerly misrepresented Decatur county in tho Legislature, was kicked by a mule the other day. . The animal planted her hoof so suddenly and so firmly that Aleck has since passed away. So we hear. "Put” Adams, of Eatonton. gives the Mretenger the following remedy for chicken cholera: “Knock the afflicted fowl in the head and then bury. At the end of three days it will appear again, well, except the eyes filled with dirt. One week after, the eyes will be all right and the fowl can whip any other bird in the yard.” We desire to call particular attention to the advertisement printed elsewhere of the grand pyrotechnic display to take place in Macon on Thursday, the 21st of October, during fair week. This display will he by far the most elaborate aud costly exhibition of the kind that has ever taken place in the South, judging from the programme which is appended to the advertisement. In addition to the attractiveness of the display, the motive which prompts it should be taken into account and fairly weighed. It is given for the purpose of raising money, which is to be devoted to erecting in Macon a monument to bur Confederate dead. The names of the gentlemen who have the matter in hand are a sufficient guarantee that the programme will be strictly car ried out. Anew spring has been discovered at Tallulah Falls. Thus the Wayne Triumph: "That in domitable and redoubtable newsman, Colonel Gentry, is ever on the wing and turns up in places and corners where you least expect him. Tho invariable cry of Morning Noose, Daily and ‘Weekly,’ only $2 ! salutes your ear on every side until you actually believo that the Morn ing News is the State itself, or Georgia is the News, and upon your subscription depends its salvation aud the redemption of Bullock’s bonds.” Thus the Thomasville Times: The Sa vannah Advertiser has ceased to exist. The paper, with its good will, etc., has been purchased by that indefatigable, far seeing newspaper mun, J. 11. Estill, of tho Morning News. This gives the News another impetus ahead, making of it, if indeed it was not already, the lead ing daily south of Baltimore. We bid the Advertiser adieu with regret, and welcome the people’s favorite, the Morn ing News, to a wider and more extensive field. May it prove as successful in the future us it has been deserving in the past. The Brunswick Appeal says: “The Savannah News has absorbed tho Adver tiser, Mr. Estill having purchased the good will aud business of the latter jour nal. This leaves Savannah only one daily, but one creditable to any city, and ample for the wants of that city and the section tributary to it. We wish the News the most uuparullelod success, as it richly deserves all, and even more, than it can possibly get. If a few cf the newspapers iu other communities of Georgia wore to follow suit and consoli date, and give us a less number but bet ter journals, tho public and proprietors would be gainers.” The Eatonton Messenger announces the doath of Judge Samuel Pearson, a promi nent citizen of Putnam county. Even the New Orleans Times has some thing to say : “Tho Savannah Advertiser has been purchased by J. 11. Estill, Esq., and consolidated with that able journal, the Savannah News. The News has been at the head of enterprising journal ism in the Southern Atlantic seaboard States for a long time. Savannah ought to support liberally such a daily as the News.” Gainesville Eaqle: la mingling with the crowd that was in town on Tuesday, we foil in a knot of worthy citizens in conversation which nt once presented some features a little remarkable, to say the least. There were five of them, viz : Moses Bryan, 77 years of age; A. Bar ker, 7(1; David Tanner, 7">; 1). K. King, 74 ; and L. B. Hutchins, GO. They are plain farmers—are healthy, cheerful and vigorous, and each bids fair for many years yet of labor and usefulness. The Quitman Reporter says: “There has been a good deal of speculation since the decision of the Supreme Court in the ease of Nie Thompson, the murderer of Captain Hunter, as to what will be the next step taken by the defendant, or as to whether au extra session of Brooks Su perior Court will be called by Judge Han sell for the purpose of re-sentencing the prisoner. We learn that the attorneys for the defendant have stated their intention to move for anew trial upon the grounds of newly discov ered evidence, or the absence of au im portant witness, and this being the case, even after Nic Thompson is re-sentenced, the execution of the sentence will be de layed until after the case has been car ried to the Supreme Court again, pro vided the motion for anew trial is over ruled, which will, of course, be the case. It is not at all probable, however, that Judge Hansell will call an extra session of the court, from the simple fact that it is but a little more than a month until the regular fall term of our court will con vene. It seems to us, as it must also to them, that there is no possible chance for the lawyers of this murderer to save him from suffering the extreme penalty of the law, which ho deserves, and any further efforts upon their part can only result in the .prolongation of his miserable life and a continued expense to the county. He has had a fair and impartial trial before a jury of twelve of his countrymen, whose verdict has been affirmed, after careful in vestigation, by the highest tribunal in the State, and it is useless for him m his law yers to be catching up myths for the pur pose of deferring his execution, with the hope of his final escape from the just penalty of the law'. Atlanta Herald : Our contemporaries of this State have contained frequent references of late to the investigation which Governor Smith is making into our bond troubles under resolutions adopted at the last session of the Legis lature. The time has not yet arrived to enter into any discussion on this subject or indeed to venture on auy statement other than one of very general character. It may be stated, however, that the investi gation being made both here and iu New York is very thorough. What the final result will be. it is impossible to state at this time; indeed, the field covered by the investigation is so wide, and embraces such a long period of time, that it will require some weeks yet of steady labor to bring it to a satisfactory conclusion. Not only the bonds and endorsed luriug Governor Bulld(|k's administra tion have passed muilkexamination. but all the bonds issued '■Jfor the last thirty years, and the paymemte of inter- est on the same must be pa.-Ed in re view. Any attempt, thereforeiia what ever quarter, to foretell te results of this investigation, can Abe con sidered only as mere speculation. It may not be amiss to remain that the investigation in New York is lStely to prove fruitful of important resultk "and that a flood of light will be thrownAtpon the history of our bond troubles. T&'he people of Georgia will be glad to lJirn that the Hon. C. C. Kibbee, of |he Senate, has been spending the summer in New York city, and has rendered important service in this investigation. He returned to the State a few days ago, but, as might be expected, is quite reticent in regard to the results of his labors. Colonel Kibbee states that the credit of Georgia stands veiy high in the city of New York at this time, and the people,' bankers and others, at tribute this to the management of her finances by the Governor and the Demo cratic party in power. In proof of this, it need only be stated that while Georgia seven per cent, bonds ere worth par to day in New York city, the bonds of the other Southern States are worth from fifty-two down to ten cents in the dollar. The crops in Hart county will be short. Col Jones, of the Macon Telegraph, is now at home—that is, he was day before yesterday. The newspapers are quarreling over the question as to who originated the State news column. The Macon Telegraph and the Augusta Chronicle both claim the honor, and both are welcome to it: but that the idea of a collation of the local news of the State should never have suggested itself until 1868 is ridiculous. The Mon roe Advertiser, a weekly published at For syth, had a compilation of State news as early as 1867, and the idea was thread bare, even then. An Atlanta storekeeper shot at another because the latter slapped his face and bumped his head against the wall. And yet deluded politicians and sensational newspaper men persist in calling this a free country. Are there no perquisites at all ? Isn’t it about time for old Bishop Ha ven to roll around and flirt with the Geor gia niggers ? The weather is propitious. Pat Walsh, of Augusta, has withdrawn from th£ Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. He went home the other day and found a kitten in the water barrel, and now he is seeking revenge. Marshall vilie correspondent Perry TJome Journal: Dr. Rawls and Colonel Reese went hunting Monday evening, and killed eighteen birds, nearly all partridges. Among them was a dove different from anything we ever saw. It was a very lit tle larger than a canary bird, though per fectly developed and evidently fully grown. Its color was not different from that of the ordinary species, except that its breast was dappled with beautiful little spots, and its wings were partly red. In general appearance it was a perfect dove, though on the lilliputian order. Koine Commercial: “We are very glad to hear through the Associated Press dis patches that Mr. Estill has purchased the Savannah Daily Advertiser, and will con solidate that paper with the Morning News. This will give Savannah a daily which any city in the United States would be proud of. It will be metropoli tan in the best sense of that term. With Thompson, the expounder, at the edito rial helm, assisted by the facetious Harris and a selected corps of writers and cor respondents, with unlimited means, a complete establishment, and a splendid field for operation, the News has a for tune of extraordinary brilliancy before it. Success to you Mr. Estill, the T. J.” Florida Affairs. Have you seen anybody with a cream colored shot-gun and a double-barreled horse lately ? If so, please communicate with the noble “Jedge” Archibald and the patriotic McMurray. They want two thousand dollars. Marcellus has arrived at Tallahassee, and MeLin is now happy. Dennis has gone to Gainesville. He denies owning a cream-colored horse. If a cream-colored man riding a double barreled horse, and armed with a tall, full bearded shot-gun can kill one Sena tor, how many Senators can two men kill? We are asking the “Jedge.” Marcellus says it will taste better to be elected Governor than it does to stand in Hart’s clammy slippers. We don’t think it will—to him. Isn’t it about time for Purman to rise to the surface ? Friday Mungo, a colored husband of Alachua county, was shot and killed by another negro recently. A Dinah was at the bottom of the tragedy. Is the presence of a man on a cream colored horse in Nassau county, the day after Dr. Johnson was murdered, any evidence that the man on the cream colored horse was the murderer ? If not, is there even presumptive evidence that some other man with a cream-colored horse, a hundred miles away, committed the crime ? We ask the “Jedge” for in formation. The forests in Orange county are full of partridges. Why, wo thought J. Willis Menard, the colored litem,tear , was to have a contri bution in the Semi-Tropical. It was so advertised. Come, Harrison, it is too late in the season to go back on a nice boy like Willis. Littlefield has quit chewiug railroad bonds, and has taken to speculating in mullet. What is Conover going to do about the Governorship ? The orange crop of Orange county will b 9 larger than the average, though the fruit will be somewhat smaller in size than usual. A drunken negro named Henry Daw kins fell oil the wharf at Jacksonville the other day and was drowned. The Dudley Buck is partly submerged near Marianna and a half interest is offered for sale cheap. Caterpillars are troubling the cotton in Jackson county. A tannery has been established in Ma rianna. The city fathers of Jacksonville have some very curious notions. One is that the market ought to be constructed so as to lean over in the river. Some people are too funny for anything. Orange county is making a desperate effort to cultivate Guinea grass. The saw mill at Atsena Otie will soon be in full blast again. The doctors in Orange county will meet at Fort Reid on the ‘Jth of October for the purpose of organizing a medical so ciety. Mr. J. N. Staley, Clerk of Court of Jackson county, passed through Talla hassee on his way home the other day, and had some pets with him which the Floridian, thus describes: They were Java Sparrows, new in these parts, and may be described as about equal in size to the canary, with a body of a delicate drab or dove color, short, sharp red bill, black head with white jaws, black tail and a keen red eye, and in form as symmetrical as can be imagined. Their feathers were as smooth and slick as grease, and in all their various movements around the cage a single feather was never ruffled. Mr. Staley had a pair of these rare birds, and we hope he may succeed in raising some for circulation in the middle counties. They just beat anything we ever came across. Live Oak is to have a bakery. General Anderson, late of Columbia, S. C., is building a large dwelling-house near his orange grove at Port Orange. Port Orange wants more freight facili ties. f Pensacola Gazette: The British ship Western Empire, Captain Bertie, cleared from Pensacola on the 11th inst. with 1,700 loads of timber, shipped by Mr. D. F. Sullivan, when about one hundred and fifty miles from Pensacola light the vessel was struck by the late gale in the gulf and was water-logged. The Captain cut away the masts to relieve the ship and he was so confident of saving the vessel and bringing her back to this port that he refused to be taken off when spoken by the City of Liverpool. The sea was rapidly rising, the ship’s deck began to break up, the officers and crew took to the boats. One boat was lost with seven men, the remainder arrived here on Friday morning. Jacksonville Press: Will His Honor, or some of his allies in the legal profes sion. inform us by what authority he, the Judge of the Fourth Judicial Circuit of Florida, issues warrants for the arrest of persons charged with a violation of the penal statues ? And by what authority or precedent he exercised, in Duval county, the functions of a Justice of the Peace in and for Nassau county ? And by what authority or precedent that by such a warrant a special Deputy Sheriff in Duval county, who is a Deputy United States Marshal, is appointed to* arrest a person in Alachua county, in another cir cuit, and then bring him to Jacksonville and place him in irons and prison to await the arrival of the Sheriff of Nassau county, to re-arrest and turn the prisoner over to the Sheriff of Duval ? And by what authority cr precedent a Sheriff of Duval county appoints the said Deputy United States Marshal, of Duval county, to exe cute such a warrant in Alachua county, and in another circuit ? And by what authority, or precedent, goods and chat tels of a private citizen of Alachua coun ty may be seized there by such Duval Special Deputy Sheriff, and without a search warrant or any legal process in rem , authorizing the seizure? Who has got Harney Richard's dun-colored mare? What for, and by what legal right ? Is she detained for the purpose of having her turned to a light-cream, or only to drill witnesses ? Do tell us ? Every cit izen throughout the length and breadth of this land of freedom is either interested in the Governor's reward or in true answers to the above questions. Captain W. H. Kendrick, who has been ecturmg on Florida at the North, was in the city yesterday. He delivered more than fifty lectures, and he thinks he him succeeded in giving the large numbers who heard him a clearer idea of the con dition of affairs in Georgia and Florida than they have efer had before. The Fernandina Observer says: “The manner in which Georgia has thrown popular education overboard will cer tainly bring its just judgment in the shape of vagrancy, perhaps, or even worse evils.’ When has Georgia thrown popular education overboard ? The Ob server ought to know that the blacks in Georgia have the same educational ad vantages as the whites, so far as it is in the power of the State to confer them. Pensacola had a ten thousand dollar lire on the 16 th. The Key West Dispatch is edited by a nigger. He is the party who caused the arrest of Mr. Lutes, recently. A Florida man is telling it around that, together with a comp anion, he caught in two hours, three hundred and thirty pounds of trout. The Live Oak Times says : “J. H. Estill has purchased the office of the Savannah Advertiser, and its publication has already been stopped, thus leaving the News the only daily paper in Sa vannah. The News has long been looked upon as the leading paper of the South, and well deserves the immense populari ty it now enjoys.” They are thinning each other out in Ala chua county. On the 11th Joseph Adams unslung his gun and slew Peter Adams, whose complexion was also dark. Strangers are already making their ap pearance upon the streets of Jacksonville. The citizens of Halifax river have laid the foundation of a stage road to Matan zas, where daily lines of stages will con nect with the May Flower, of St. Augus tine. There is a good place for a saw-mill and a schooner on the Halifax river. A bunch of bananas grown at Fort Reid contains two hundred and twenty six “pods.” Port Orange is to have anew hotel. The wife of the notorious John Coth ran was in St. Augustine the other day for the purpose of obtaining protection. She is afraid John will make another at tempt on her life. Key West clamors for an express office. Mr. C. C. Codrington, editor of the Florida Agriculturist, has been made one of the Vice Presidents of the American Pomological Association. Thus the Press : We wish you to know, and to keep in your remembrance, that Judge R. B. Archibald has distinctly de clared by his decision that he regards the testimony of a single negro as of more value and entitled to greater credit than the evidence of sixteen white men of high standing and acknowledged reputation. Put this little item away carefully in your memories, preserve it for future use, and bring it out at the election next year, when the recollections it evokes will in spire you to renewed efforts. Commenting upon the recent outrage committed by the fellow Archibald, the Press says : “One of the most remarkable things about the whole proceeding was the fact that His Honor went outside of the evidence adduced and brought in new, and did now allow the defense to explain with regard to these new issues, though he himself admitted that satisfac tory explanation might be made. We cannot trust our pen to comment on this action of Judge Archibald. We will simply conclude by saying that in our opinion, and we believe the people will agree with us in it, this decision on such evidence, so far as we know, is without parallel in the history of our country, and to put it no stronger, proves that Judge Archibald is incompetent to discharge properly the duties of the position.” The Atlantic and Gulf Railroad Com pany have made several improvements at Live Oak. There is an organized band of cattle thieves in Suwannee county. Lake City has a citron tree. Ttiree hundred and twenty-eight bales of cotton have been shipped from Talla hassee to date. Jacksonville Press: During the pre liminary examination of Harney Richard, Mrs. Cason testified that there was a time, after she heard of the death of Dr. John son, that she did not see the prisoner for nearly a week, but could not state the time. What the self-declared impartial Judge said: DURING THE INVESTI- IN RENDERING 1119 DE UATION. CIBION. “The mere fact that “There being a week the witness says that in which she did not sec there was a time when him, though after she she did not see defend- heard of the death of ant, without stating the the deceased, is a euspi time, will have no weight cious circumstance.” , in my mind.” The orange trees in Marianna are loaded with fruit. Four prisoners escaped, from the Jack son county jail the other day. The Union is of the opinion that Mr. Peter Papin’s steamship line between New York and Jacksonville is something of a fraud. Perhaps someone of our Florida read ers can answer these questions from a correspondent: Can you tell me where to locate in Florida? I would like the coast, or as near it as possible. I want an Episcopal church, railroad communi cation, a good place for a tannery, and drug store, where there are not many negroes. Is Mayport only occupied iu the summer? I would like it very much. Who owns the land there? I would like a Democratic community. Do you knew of any property to sell at a bargain ? Where can I get a pamphlet descriptive of Florida? I have heard of one, but have not seen it. Perhaps some of your friends know of some pleasant place for a family, that we might get. I want a place with a little improvement. Soutli Carolina Affairs. A four hundred pound bear has been killed in the jungles of Horry county. The Court of Common Pleas and Gene ral Sessions, Judge Townsend presiding, will be in session at Darlington, com mencing on Monday, October 4. Aiken county is still waiting for a bid on her jail contract. A colored man in Aiken county has raised one hundred bushels of rice on three acres of land. Pickens county has produced corn stalks sixteen feet high. A mistrial before a trial justice is some thing new in the annals of colored crimi nal law; but it happened at Bennetts ville recently. Port Royal is to have “a site for naval purposes.” Mrs. Lucy Smith, relict of the late William Smith, died at her residence, near Fish Dam, Union county, on Mon day last, after a painful and lingering illness of many months. The Walterboro’ Neics reports that rice planters are busy in harvesting their crops. Such a dry and fine season for the harvest of that cereal has not been had for years. The Marion Star says that that county is infested by organized bands of robbers and burglars, and advises the people to be prepared to meet them with “buck and ball.” A large buck was killed near J ackson boro, Colleton county,one day last week, by Ben Ford. His weight was 217 pounds, was very fat, and his head was adorned with a magnificent pair of antlers. In parts of Red Bluff township, Marl boro county, collards are completely eaten up by worms, nothing being left but the stems. The cotton and corn crops of this section are thought to be one-third short. The Marion Merchant and Farmer an nounces that freight on cotton from that point to Charleston has been reduced 25 per cent. Mr. Archibald Pettigrew, of Anderson, while bridling a horse one day last week, had hi wrist broken in t.wo places by the animal attempting to bite him.

WEEKLY REPORT. OFFICB OF THE MORNING NEWS,) Savannah, September 2S, 1875. I General Remarks. —There has been a steady 'but moderate demand the past week for nearly all linei of merchandise, though in some branches of trade it has been fairly active, and a very satisiactory amount of business has been done, considering the inclemency of the weather. The dry goods trade show but little change since our lag) report. Prices are about the same, and the mark; is reported quiet. Fewer have visited the citythan was anticipated, but those who did comein bought quite freely of the lines of goods usually bought at this season. They report everything iu the interior as very favor able to a gooi fall and winter trade. Groceries and provisions have undergone but few price changes, though a few unimportant one* have taken place. The trade has been fairly active, both through orders and by country mer chants. A larger number of buyers are expected in the market the coming week than have visited it since the optniug of the fall trade, and it is thought the week’s business will be very good. The flour martet has shown a more moderate demand, and prises have drooped a little, though quotations remiin unchanged. A few styles of the favorite grades have been firm, and have been in good denand. Cotton.—The market for sp = cotton the past week has generally been dull, and prices have shown a steady decline, under increased receipts at the ports, increasing stocks and the general decline in eontrslliog markets. Notwithstand ing the decline iu prices, there has been a very good demand, and buyers have operated freely, but as a rule refused to pay quoted prices, and in many instances effected transactions a shade under. Many holders, however, were firm, and declined to sell at less than quotations. To-day the market was weak up to mi (May, but later a better Inquiry sprang up, and prices became more steady. The sans tor the week amount to 5,783 bales. We quote: Good Middling 13 Middling .laq Low Middling ~12 15-10 Good Ordinary n 13-10 Ordinary io% Crops.—We mentioned las', week that a terri ble storm had passed over c.-rtain portions of Texas, Louisiana and Mississippi, and that con siderable damage was probably done to the cot ton crop. We are yet unadvised of the extent of the damage, though it is thought that in some portions of Texas, and in the Mississippi Valley the damage has been more extensive than was anticipated. The past week we hear of heavy rains through many sections of the cotton coun try, aud of too n uch cold weather; also of a slight frost as far south as Vicksburg. The past three days we have had a con;inuous rain through this immediate vicinity, though it has cleared off to-night, with a prospect of good weather the corniug week. The receipts of cotton at this tort for the past week, from all sources, have been 17,218 bales upland and 51 bales sea island, against 12,197 bales upland avd 82 bales ,for the cor responding date last year, j The particulars of the feeipts have been as follows : Per Central Railroad, 15,090 bales up land; per Atlantic and Gulf Railroad, 3,214 bales upland; per c ;rtg, 140 bales upland; per Augusta steamers, 658 bales upland; per Florida steamers, 51 bales sea island: from Port Royal, 100 bales upland; Riccboro. 14 bales upland.
