EritoorT baa roapjxjared in the bine gnw region of Kentucky, but in a milder form than laat year. Thi Bourbon county fair opened at Paria laat Tuesday, with a finer 'display of dock than was ever n-x-n before. A HcRRicAsnc is Haiti.—Hayti had a bif hurricane cn the 23th ult., damaging principally the southern part of th island. Many house# were demolished, trees torn up by the root# and negroes destroyed. Since Anna Dickinson rode her male l Is clothes-pin in California she is more decided on woman-suffrage than ever. She sees the evil of straddling a question, and means to keep on one aide of every thing lioreafter. The New York Commercial is certain ancient William Allen, of Ohio, if not paralysed as to the hips, a la Morton, is at le**t paralysed as to the head. The returns, however, indicutc that Allen has still good use of both head and heels. Wff.Kis Colush la described as a short, stout, thick-necked man of fiv$ feet four, with tolerably heavy shoulders, but without a corporation. His ago is about fifty, and his beard White. His dark, closely cut hair is slightly salted. The Yale College exploring party were reeently hunting Ixsor* in California, when two grizzlies made their appear ance and reversed the position of the parties. The Yalo boys no longer hunt ed the boars, but the hear* hunted them distressingly. Mme. liiNMAnric not Dead.—The re port of the death of Mme. von Bisnsarck, which came by cable a few days ago, has been ofli dally contradicted in a dispatch to the German minister at Washington. The wife of the Chancellor is not on\y not dead, hut has not boen sick. The story was started by the U1 tramontanes, for some incomprehensible reason. A stout Englishman, who recently ap plied to a California court for admission to citisenship. on the ground of service in the navy, was asked if he had on honora ble discharge. "No." said he; "you see wo left the ship iu a big hurry, and I didn't have a chance to see Captain 8ummes, or elso I should have got an honorable discharge." He didn't get his paper*. A New CiiaatNCT.-Tho Western Con gressmen are said to be in favor of pass ing a bill to authorise the issue of U. S. bonds of small denominations and bearing a low rate of interest to circulate as cur rency. Why not f Why isn't that a bet ter currency than so-called National Bank note* f If the Government had floated half the public debt in this way instead of permitting the issue of National Bank notes, the people would have been saved million*. The Commercial Advertiser advises Brodlaugh to go agitate at home—In England—where his agitation can do some good. That was the very advice the Southern paper* volunteered to the Amer ican anti-slavery agitators who took up their mission* to England thirty year* ago; but they could not accept it. Tho imv*t destructive blackguard* in the world are travelling blackguard*. Tho best place to abuse a man is where he is not known—away from home. Arrant* at the Nati »nal Capital.— The respectable portkq of the population of Washington, it 1* said, abandoned the struggle at the ballot-box last Tuesday, soon after the polls were opened. Boss Shepard and his thieves were too strong for them. The reporter of the Courier- Journal says there are a very large num ber of vacant houses in Washington, and a great scarcity of money. The contrac tors are abandoning work on account of not getting their pay and everything wears a sickly look. The Land or ••Civilisation."—The Worcester (Massachusetts) Spy says at a single session of tho Supreme Court held in that city on the 10th instant, over twenty divorces were granted, and of those a dozen were for adultery. Down here such a record would be a target for all the journal* of Northern civilisation to shoot at, but it seem* to be considered all right up there. And this it the "civ ilisation** the latter day saints of Radical ism are constantly endeavoring to force upon the "harbor in ns’* of the South! Hon. A- B. Meacham has been lectur ing in San Francisco on the Roftoa and, in narrating the circumstances attending the assassination of General Caoby and hi* own escape, said: "Boston began to take my scalp with a blunt knife; but Toby interposed with devices to delay the operation, and. when at length he had raised five or six inches of skin on the left side of my M Toby, woman-like, accomplished by strategy what oenld not be done otherwise. She shouted. "Sol diers ! soldiors ? and Bo-ton left his work unfinished." Slaughter or th* Birds.—The New York Sun says: Southern planters are complaining that freed in i’ll and ngited whiten have de stroy id such large numbers of small birds that in*«vts injurious to veg»*tation are doing more damage than in former years. The Dtnvssity for stringent enactments to prevent the useless and sillj slaughter of ioMVtivorou* birds i* every season becom ing more evident. There is but ore way | to do it effect’.tally, and that is to make it an offence punishable by fine and im- , nt for any parson to shokt a estate without parmission from r or tenant. We should like to see the experiment tried of colonising the English sparrow in the South. The experiment in the Northern cities has been a porfei-t relieving gardens, shrubbery and *h*V Tret-s entirely from their insoct foes, wihch a few years ago thi\wtt*nod entire destruc tion to vegetation. These birds are very hardy—multiply with great rapidity, and the rate at which they ore said to destroy insect* and their larvae, germs oad grubs is almost incredible. We have seen it stated ot to 10.000 apiece each day. A few of these sparrows oouhl he obtained from the North and placed in any of oar porks a* an experiment to test their adaptedaess to the climate, at very small expense* gand should they thrive here ^heir colonization might be general. BriMllaugh's Minion, The miiudoo of the English Radical, Brodlaugh, to this country, to appeal to public opinion in America against the wrong* of the laborers in Great Britain, calls to min 1 ancient things, and things which happened some time ago. Thir ty years ago, more or less, the United State* turned out a gang of red-mouthed reformers to appeal to English public opinion against the wrongs of the negro laborers in the South. Exeter Hall, with it* long string of Lord*. Marqui*»«•*. Dukes, and other aristocracy, welcomed these apostles of. reform with delight— listened to their lies with admiring dulity, and held long and solemn council over the wrong* of the African man and brother in America, and the aud&cion and cruel tyrant* who held him to servio and labor. The n.d<lre*aes, memorial*, remonstrances, protests and denuncia tions of Exeter Hall upon this subject would fill many volumes. But see the wheel ha* turned. Brad- laugh comes here as the avont courier of a long list of appellants to American indignation against the oppression* of the English land-holding aristocracy. His tale of horrors isos mo ring os any ever sounded hi Ex«*ter Hall against the South ern slave-holders. He hold* up the Brit ish land i-l interest os the most inexorable, cruel and selfish of task-masters—exact ing the utmost toil for insufficient food housing it* laborers in cabins unfit for swine—opposing every suggestion of jus tice and mercy, and literally battening on the physical, mental and moral degrada tion of the working people. Thus the English angels of negro emancipation in America become the master devils of a body and soul destroy ing peasant-slavery in Great Britain. The very men who crowed in sanctimo nious holiness over the Southern slave holder must now see all the tail-feathers of their self-exaltation pulled out, and be held up to the odium of the civilised world—as the butt and bugaboo of mod ern philanthropy. So time brings its reverses and re venge*. We an* so sofry for thri won derful philanthropists and slavery ha ters, that we hope they will send us won! how they Feel, now does it agroo with a good-hearted and well-disposed man— a man who molly scorn* injustice and moans to act well the port assigned him by Providence—how does it feel to be branded every day and year by year as s selfish and remorseless villain, desiring nothing but to profit on hnman misery ? Now, just how : t feel* to them, it felt to the Southern slaveholder. We suffered a long time, and now thg English aris tocracy must take their turn at the wheel. Let the machine grind. We think the victims deserve considerable crushing. THE GEORGIA Pit ESS. j>rw fare the Appalling Losses by the Au gust Storm. Tho Herald's Washington correspond ent writes that a report of the movements and damage done by the great storm of August 84, 1873, haa been prepared at tho signal office in that city, from data carefully collected from reliable sources, which will be gi»en in full to the public in a few days. Tho following is a gum ming up of tho losses caused by this ter rible: 1,032 vessels, of which 435 were small fishing schooners, are known to have been destroyed, during the 24th and 25th of August, in the neighborhood of the Gulf of St. Lawrence and the At lantic shores of Nova Scot a. Cape Breton and Newfoundland. In addition to this largo number over 00 vessels were de stroyed by the same storm in its course before reaching Nova Scotia, making a grand total of at least 1,122 resell de stroyed within a few days. Two hundred and twenty-three lives are definitely re ported as lost, and the most moderate es timate of tho numerous cases in which whole crews an? stated to have been lost swells this number to nearly 500, while if to this be added the lots of life on land and in the earlier history of the cyclone, the grand total amounts to at least 600 live*. The records, al*o, show that about 900 buildings were damaged or totally destroyed by this storm. The fishing in terest* of the United States and Canada havo boon seriously crippled by these losses, which havo fallen with especial severity upon Gloucester ami other New England town*. The President’s Financial Scheme. THE WALL STREET FINANCIERS ON THE PRESIDENT'S VIEWS OF THE PANIC. Wall street bonk officers ridicule Pi ev ident Grant's views on the recent panic. Referring to the Latter’s statement that silver is on a par with currency, they deny it, and say there is a difference of from two to four per cent., and that so far as the country be ; ng able to absorb between $200,000,000 and $300,000,000, it would probably use no more than $40,- 000,000* the present amount of .fractional currency in circulation. Silver is debased coin, and is not legal-tender for more than $5, and when on a specie basis is re garded as something of a nuisance. They call attention to the President's wishes for the resumption of specie payment, and ask how ho can reconcile such a wish with the projected action recom mending the issue of the $44,000,000 re serve which immediately starts the coun try upon a new era of inflation. They characterise his scheme for a post-office bonk as impracticable. While ho recom mend* the prohibition on the port of Na tional Banks of the pavment of interest, he proposes to establish a POST-OFFICE HANK, operated by the Government, which shall allow 4 per cent, on deposits. The result of this would be th&t 4 per cent, would be the minimum rate for interest. When capitalist* hail money which they could not otherwise dispose of, they would de posit with the Government receiving 4 per cent., and when they oould loan it or could use it otherwise they would draw it out. The same evil which private bank- era^complain of would be felt by the Gov ernment. At a time the deposit* were MOST NEEDED they would be withdrawn. Again, the qnation U asked. how the Government proposes to seem*© 4 per cent, interest. Doe* it propose to go Into a regular hank ing business ? If so. an era of FRAUD, DEFALCATION AND WILD-CAT OP ERATIONS, gmmalfy. will bo the wait. In addition to all this, supposing that tho bank to practicable, it woul.1 1* too (Treat a con- tralixation of power in the tow Government; too great an instrument to be placed in it* hands^ More About the Sale. From the Brunswick Appeal extra of Wednesday afternoon, we get a few ad<li- tional particular* of the sale of the Bruns wick and Albany Railroad. The first bid was made by Joseph E. Brown, President of the Western and At lantic Railroad, and was $30j,io), the bid ding being spirited between him, W. B. Lowe, EsqL of Atlanta, and Mr. J. H. Mayer, of Columbus. The fifteen cars bought from the Dawson Manufacturing Company, and upon which $5,t»25 are due, were sold t*enarit«‘!\, and were bid in by Major O. O. Nelson, of Dawson, for the above amount. The telegraph line which had been leased by the Western Union Company for five years, two of which had expired, wo* also sold separately, and wo* bid in by D. O. Whitney for $g.'.*00. The Appeal say* rumor reported that Brown represented Tom Stott’s Southern Pacific rai)r««*d, und that "the a>tute Wadley also had a spy in the camp.* ’ The season of hand and arm-crus? ung in oott.»n gin- lias fairly set in. In Sutn- t»*r county u son of Judge Guerry lost all the finger* of his right hand on Monday; in Cobb county little Archy Howell had the tip* of the fingers of hi* right hand cut off. and th*- flesh of hi* arm split to the shoulder last Tu.-s*lay; and Mr. A. A. Adams, of America*, came very near los ing his life while feeling a gin. The skirt of hi* cunt caught in the gin and was rolled up to the armpit, his head be ing forced against the breast of the gin, the saw barely grazing it. The America* Republican reports crop* in Webster county above the average, and cotton being rapidly picked out, with the probability of a-finish by the 1st of November. Enough corn for another year's needs ha* been made. A party of hunters went on a drive be low Geneva hut week, and killed three tin*- deer. That famous hunter, Gorman, not of the party, however.

Bryan & Hunter.—For sev eral days post it ha* been known that these gentlemen, having been heavy losers by recent event*, had requested their creditor* to meet yesterday after noon for consultation. It waa unani mously agreed upon by those present, •«instituting a majority of the creditors, to compromise their unsecured claim*, and to advise a continuance of the busi- • It is but iust to mention that Me**rs. Bryan A Hunter had no trouble whatever with their New York correa- p -relents, Messrs. Henrv Talmadge & Co., a firm well known in Georgia for honor and prudence; and who safely weathered the recent panic. The Thoumsville Enterprise berates Gov. Smith for suspending the collection of the special "tax on liquor dealer*." Tho Enterprise ought to be better posted. It was not the tax on "liquor dealer*," but on "wholesale dealers in malt liquors" that wo* suspended—a horse of an entire ly different odor. The Rome Commercial, of Thursday, has the following: IThe Memphis Branch'Railroad— FibstIron Laid andFinvr Spike Driven Yesterday.—The first iron was laid on the track of the Memphis Branch Rail- rood, uarrow gauge, yesterday, from the bridge over tho Oortunaula to tho rolling mill, about a quarter of a mile.

If the money panic does not become too oppressive in the course of thirty or forty •lavs, twenty mile* of the Memphis Branch will be in complete running order. The friend* of the rood are very sanguine that they will be able to go ahead with out meeting with serious trouble. The Standard says Talbot county will be well represented at tbe State Fair, and that Talbotton, for a short season, will be nearly depopulated.

The water carried off houses, and seven or eight persons were drowned. Most of the cot ton and com crop near Cameron was de stroyed, in many instances completely devastating fields. All the cotton not picked was ruined, while the bolls not opened rotted from being under water so long. Exciuxok in New Or.leans.—The cashier of one of our hanks received a dispatch on yesterday, from New Orleans, stating that Now York Exchange was worth four per cent, premium in that city. At this season of the year it usual ly sells from one-half to one per cent, discount. This extraordinary condition is aa alarming feature of tho crisis now upon the oonnty. New York exchange has been lulling in this city nt three- eights premium, but was placed at par yesterday by the tanks. Yellow Fever is Loaciupoka.—Pass engers on the Montgomery and Atlanta train report a case of yellow fever ot Loa- chapoka, Ala. We cannot vouch for the truth of the report. We will know by to-morrow. The gentleman reported as having the fever u well known, and we hope the report will prove untrue. Me. M. G. Whitlock announces in the Marietta Journal that he has ordered fifteen cars to be at that place next Tues day for transporting the Cobb oonnty ex hibition to tbe Fair. The train will leave on Wednesday. From the Chronicle and Sentinal of Thursday we quote as follows: The Port Rotai. Railroad—A Goon Exhibit.—The regnlar quarterly meeting of the Board of Directors of the Port Royal railroad was held at the office of the company, in this city, yesterday morn ing. The report of the Secretary and Treasurer was read and received. The report is a gratifying one and the business done since the completion of the road exceeds the most sanguine expecta tions. As a matter of course, the busi ness so far has been almost altogether local. Even with this, however, the re port shows that the gross earnings of the ioad for the past four months have been JtS.OOO. while the total expenses, in cluding repairing of breaks, have been $6S,00l). It will thus be seen that the road has been nearly self-sustaining, with nothing in the main but local traffic and pas-eng. rs to depend upon. When com munication is established between Port Royal and Liverpool by steamers, the directors are confident that the receipts of the road will be at least J-W-0,000 the first visit after that is accomplished. As we stated some time since, the Dominion Line of steamers, one of the finest be tween the United States and Europe, has already been secured to run between Port Royal and Liverpool, and the first vessel of the line will reach the former place early in November. Lies near Ajken-.—Major N. O. Til ton's ginhouse and press were burned on Tuesday ideal no-m, five miles from Ai ken. togtthex with ten bales of cotton. The Toss was about $30(0. There was no insurance on the property. Steam power was used to run the gin and press, and the fire was caused by a spark from the engine. Major Tilton, who was in Sa- r vannah, wrote to hi- wife last Saturday that he had dreamed that some one put matches ia the eotton to set his gin on fire, and en-viued caution. His son had charge of the farm at Aiken. Blood will tell even in the cotton-field. Two young Dukes, of Polk county, neith er of them over sixteen years old. picked n»'.2 pounds of cotton one day last week. The Griffin News says Mr. J. A. Smith, who has Ki n agent at some point on the Southwe-tern road for some years past, lias been appointed agent of the Central nod at that place. The Sandersvilie Herald reports the accidental burning of the steam saw mill and gin of Mr. Geo. \\. Peacoek.of It a»h- icgtou county, Last Monday night. Scv- THE FUGITIVE BULLOC K. Whore He la and How He Amuses Himself. The following extract from a late New York paper furniihes the latest news con corning the whereabouts and manner of life of a certain notorious fugitive, who left Georgia so suddenly about two years ago: Editors Union: Rufus 11 il'.ock. the well- known ex-Gorernor of Georgia, is making Albion his home for the present, and think he is inclined towards his native village for hia home in the future. The Governor is n very portly personage; a person whom one would at first sight note as a distinguished individual. He is very fine looking. lias also a fine looking wife and two children. On. any pleasant day he may be seen upon our ntreets driving a team of handsome black horses, at tached to an elegant carriage. His coach man, a negro, almost always accompanies him, sitting on the same seat with his distinguished master, and sometimes taking the reins. So Rufus is not quite so impecunious, then, as some of his friends down here have been in the habit of reporting. They pretend to say that ho went off with empty pockets, but this don’t look like it. If ho didn’t salt down a snug plum out of the pit of plunder ho and his had at their disposal for three years, he is the first of the breed that has failed to do so. STIRRING UP A MONEY KING. Daniel Drew, tbe New Tnrk Million aire, Cbnrgrd with. Hiding bis Property to Cheat bis Creditors. The Now York Sun says a petition has been filed in the U. S. District Court to have Daniel Drew, the millionaire, forced into bankruptcy, and be has been en joined from disposing of his property while the suit is {lending. Tho Sim adds: The petitioner is William L. Scott, of Eric, Pa., a brother-in-law of John F. Tracy, the railway magnate of Illinois. The proceedings grew out of the suspen sion of the well known Wall street bank ing firm of Kenyon, Cox A Co., whicn hnppcned a few weeks ago. Mr. Drew, it is said, was one of the general partners in the house, although it was claimed at the time that he was only s special part ner in it to the amount of $100,000. Mr. Kenyon Cox and twoother partners in the firm are incorporated in the bankruptcy suit, which is liased on an afihkivit of a Mr. Scott that Mr. Drew wivs about to put hia property out of his hands to con ceal it from his creditors, so as to enable him to swear that he could not pay his debts. Mr. Scott, the petitioner, said last night that liis suit was for alxmt $350,000. He deposited that amount with the firm, who were his 1 anker. Hi» complaint alleges that Mr. Drew has mortgaged his private residence nt Seventeenth strectand Union Square to his grandchildren for $350,000 since the failure of his firm, and that he claims to be indebted to them to that amount. Sir. Scott believed that the mortgage was made to enable Mr.. Drew to defraud his creditors. He said that Mr. Drew was generally reputed to be worth from 8IX TO TEN MILLION’S. He is the possessor of large tracts af land in Westchester county, and also holds over $1,000,000 worth of stock in theNorth river steamboat companies, besides own ing the Drew Theological Seminary. The mansion in which he lives is a fortune in itself. A Sharp Criticism. The New York Son, of Tuesday, shines hotly on the head of Mrs. James A. Oates r rather Titus—the lively little lady so well known ” down South,” and who is now playing an engagement in Now York. It says : Mrs. James A. Oates impersonated Mrs. James A. Oates under a different name Last evening at the Olympic Theatre. On this occasion she called herself the Grand Duchtsse. This name was about the onlv resemblance which she bore to the heroine of Offenbach’s most popular op era bouffe. She appears to be ignorant of any kind of art, us intemperate in the use of a rather hard, sharp voice, in a certain unvaryingseriesof bo-lily motions, and the means of showing self-conscious* ness. She seems inclined to hold inti mate relations with her auditors, and generally talks to. looks and smiles at them, instead of addressing herself to the personages who help her-in the attempt ed representation. This representation is sometimes funny; at least that given last night was so, bat not in the way that Of fenbach intended. The dresses were bright enough, and so was the scenery; and a moderately large audience was present. Chicago for Memphis.—The Tribune of the 14th says: The receipts at the exposition last even ing, for the benefit of the sufferers in Memphis, will reach nearly $15,000. It is estimated that there were nearly 15,000 persons in attendance, the discrepancy between this number and the amount of money received being explained by the fact that large numbers of tickets were bought by people who did not care to at tend, and yet were anxious to avail them selves of this means of contriBnting to this praiseworthy charity. The above sum is the largest that h.-H yet been col. looted at a given time, and, in addition to the sums previously donated, makes a noble return for the handsome contribu tion' which Memphis sent to Chicago after the fire. Sneh acts of common hu manity and sympathy as these will es tablish a bond of fellowship between the two cities which can never be wholly severed. The pathetic story contained in the old ballad "The Mistletoe Bough” had some thing of a parallel on the !>th inst. at Cedar Rapids, Mich. A Mrs. Smith while visiting her mother in that city missed her infant son. about eighteen months old, when she prepared to depart. They searched the house and at last found the child dead in a trunk. Like the hapless bride in the old song the enildhad entered the trunk only to meet its death- The heavy lid had fallen upon its neck and had broken the spinal vertebra*. The un fortunate mother l*ecame almost insane over the event, and her condition at last accounts was precarious owing to th* ex cess of her grief. a -mull majority. If Allen should be elected by a majority loss than 5(M there will still be doubt of tho balsam of the State ticket. Meagre ret unison the oth er State officers indicate that tile Repub lican candidate for Governor ran a little behind his ticket. Savannah Steamer in Heavy Weal her. New Yoke.

It was S2 in October of last year. The area wa3 one-eighth greater in 1872 anil the autumn' more favorable for development and pii and the result an increase of about J 000 bales. The area of the presen! was increased about 10 per cent.; hut a portion of the enlargement was aban doned and the October status of the crop is materially reduced.
