Panic—Dangers of the Situa
tion.
A certain Judge of our acquaintance
being asked bow long the panic would
last, looking down at a pair of fifteen dol
lar boots he had on, replied, until I can
buy such boots as these for five dollars.
In other words, he looked for its ultimate
solution in a universal and sweeping re-
adjustment of values to the ante war
standard.
But thia is impossible, because money
(gold) has cheapened immensely in its
relation to other values in tho past twelve
yean, and theprooee* is going on rapidly
from year to year. And long anterior to
the war, particularly since the California
gold discoveries, money had been cheap-'
ening, and the fact was evinced by a
constant and gradual rise in the prices of
labor and labor products. We
therefore, never look again for ante war
prices, except as the result of some .tern
porary alteration in trade; and we ought
to look, on the contrary, for a gradual
rise in those prices upon the basis of a
normal and healthy valuation. What
snch a valuation would be now, it is diffi
cult, if not impossible, to esy; because
abnormal and unhealthy conditions of
currency and trade have existed ever
since the war, and am in existence now.
If we admit that the finanriai storm
now sweeping over the country, appa
rently without any adequate erase or oc
casion, is likely to bring about a general
re-adjustment of values, the most per
plexing and dangerous point in the pro-
aaae is the redaction of the price of labor.
Labor being the chief element of the
value, the main difficulty would exist hero
in any case. But at thia time the diffi
culty and danger are immensely aggra
vated by the labor combinations of mod
ern growth—the Unions—banded togeth
er and working under arbitrary laws,
which scout at and violate every sound
principle of trade and every true method
of arriving at just valuation, and enforce
their stern and arbitrary decrees by the
power of an unyielding discipline, and
sometimes by violence.
Valuations are properly and rightfully
fixed by oomprotnue between buyer and
seller, which it is the grand object of
these combinations to prevent in their
own ease. They propose to fix the value
of labor by the fiat of one party alone,
and this is the explanation of that appa
rent insanity which refuses, on the aiter-
nstive of that or no wages at all, the
smallest reduction in the per diem, when,
if they will open their eyes, they can aec
all the product* of later descending rap
idly in price.
Hi is state of affairs lie* at the bottom
(aa we have little doubt) of most of tho
alarmingly numerous mill stoppages and
discharges of workmen by the hundreds
all over tho North particularly. There is
no ground open ' to compromise with
these associations—for their object, as
wo have said, is to do away with compro
mise as an element in their trade; and
hence mill owners are reduced to the di
lemma of either stopping, or of going on
to produce goods with uncompromising
labor at old prices, to put upon markets
which will demand and insist upon alarge
compromise in prices, as doe to the de
rangements of the financial condition and
the scarcity and increased purchasing
value of money.
This (set we repeat, more than mere
money scarcity, is throwing thousands
out of employment, even long before a
bard winter has set in, and bringing on a
condition of things painful to contem
plate—and even justifying grave appre
hensions for public pesos and security.
Already the Northern city papers tell of
ominous meetings among those combi
nations. Tho Herald reporters on the
3d, at a meeting of strikers, found, as
they say, ”a bitter feeling towards those
whom they hold to be responsible for
their lack of work and wages. There
were stern suggestions that, perhaps, tho
monetary stringency could be relaxed by
stringing up a few capitalists, and a judi
cious use of crowbars in opening some of
the closed banks and other moneyed
institutions of the city."
This kind of talk may not have much
of reeolve in it, just now; hut in a month
or two when tho pangs of hunger and
cold and the anguish of suffering wives
and children embitter and infuriate the
men of those organisations, they may be
very difficult to oontrol or reason with.
They amount, in fact, to something very
much like standing armies, and have an al
most illimitable power of mischief if they
choose to exert it; and what men may
choose to do,'who find themselves and
their families freezing and starving in
the midst of plenty it is difficult to say.
This ugly problem of the reduction of
the price of labor at such a time, and un
der such circumstances, is the most angry
cloud in the whole horiton. The ques
tion demands the most cautious treat
ment. and we fear is not reooiving it. We
think it is incumbent on the manufac
turing sections of the country, in the
light of mercy, as well as a sound econo
my, not to push the reduction of labor an
inch beyond what they are financially
compelled to do. The banks, capitalists
and pres* should unite to entourage the
manufacturing establishments to go on,
and at the same time to inspire a just
appreciation of the condition among the
workmen. Prevention is cheaper than
eure. .It will tost leas to feed orderly
workers, than to provide against or pro
vide for infuriated or sullen and suffering
mobs. There is room for diplomacy and
a wise liberality in this matter; and un
less times mend and aspects change, it
will need all She wisdom, forbearance and
benevolence of the wealthy to surmount
with safety the obvious dangers of the

A Good Showing for tho Plant
ers.
We heard something yesterday tliat
reflects great credit upon the planters of
this section, and which we think desei
public mention. At one of the bonks of
♦ city their drafts to the amount of
$00,000 matured on the 4th instant, all
of which, except $i500. was promptly
met. Oa the 6th instant arrangements
for the satisfactory settlement of that
balance were mode, and the account
fnl]y squared. This report is from only
bank. We understand that an equally
good one comes from all the others. We
congratulate the planters and the country
upon it- In these pinching times such a
record is certainly a proud one. There
Y* immense vitality in the land yet—we
may rest assured of that.
Aldernuinic Material in Chi
cago
Must be scarce judging from some re
marks in the Tribune about the Hon. J.
J. McGrath, one of the "city fathers.”
The Tribune says the Honorable gentle
man “is an adroit rascal, who makes the
bujune** c*f A Vie nsan X livelihood.” He
was ol»o indicted for hribery a rear ago,
but being a slippery customer flanked
the law somehow and went on selling and
buying with undisturbed complacency.
The Tribune is of opinion that the Chi
cago, public will not be safe until Me. is
driven from office, or "Mat to jail by a
jury of twelve men.*’ *

The Knoxville Strike.
The Press and Herald of Thureiav
announces no change in the con lition,
but active negotiations gotn? on through
Congressman Thornburg and numerous
other •pacificator* without result. All
business interests were suffering keenly.
The entire trade of East Tennessee was
at a standstill A freight train was to be
sent out to Bristol,. Thursday evening,
and the Press and Herald ventured to pre
dict that the popularity of Master Me
chanic Hodge, would insure its depart
ure, "the b^ys haring declared that
Charlie can go if he likes.” This 'was
very kind in the "boys.” j
The Press and Herald says the striking
employes of the road are firm and quiet,
and having neat and cosy homes of their
own, are in generally good financial con
dition to stand a seige. The companies
are also firm and in good condition.
Affairs were still farther complicated
on the 6th by the stoppage of the Knox
ville and Ohio Railroad, from the line of
which oomes Anost of the coal consumed
far fuel in Macon. We do not suppose,
however, that this adds materially to the
prospect of a cool famine here, as the cool
cannot oome through until freight line?
are resumed on the East Tennessee and
Georgia road. The coal miners, however,
are also on a strike, and thia may be more
serious in its results, for when the rood*
get ready to run again, there may be
nothing to carry.
It will have been observed that the
representatives of twenty 'Southern rail
roads held a meeting in Chattanooga on
Thursday, affirmed the justice and neces
sity of a reasonable redaction in wages,
and mutually pledged themselves not to
employ any operatives concerned in ob
structing the operations of the roods or
intimidating workmen; and they also
agreed to furnish other roods with the
names of parties so engaged, and to in
vite the co-operation of all railroad com
panies in the United States in this action.
There, then, is union against union
and just to soon as both aides resort to
it, business and trade sink to a condition
of chronic war. On the whole, perhaps a
universal and entire prostration of trade
for a year or so, may ultimate in good by
settling the relations of labor and capital
and reinstating the healthful laws of
trade, which have been in a state of sus
pended animation ever since the war.
Some Interesting Figures.
How the "Old Corpse" IiaS uecn Mis
behaving.
In 1872, Dix, Radical candidate for
Governor, carried New York by 35,451
majority, and Grant had 53,460 majority.
Last Tuesday the Democrats carried the
State by nearly .15,000 majority—a gain
of nearly 70,000 votes in just twelve
months. Last year in the same State
the Legislature stood as follows: Senate,
24 Republicans and 8 Democrats; House,
91 Republicans, 35 Democrats and 2 In
dependents. As far as heard from, the
Legislature now stands: Senate, 17 Re
publicans and 15 Democrats; House, 65
Republicans and 53 Democrats.
In the last Legislature of Massachu
setts there was one Democrat in the
Senate and twenty-three in the House;
now the Demojr.it ? have eleven Senators
and sixty member-* of the house..
The last Legislature of New Jersey
stood; Senai^—14 Republicans and 7
Democrats; House^VJ Republicans and
16 Democrats. Now it stands; Senate—
14 Republicans and seven Democrats;
House—32 Republicans and 28 Demo
crats.
In Wisconsin Gov. Washburn, (Rod,)
u elected in 1872 by 9,370 majority, and
Grant carried the State in 1872 by 18,-
520 majority. The Republicans concede
the election by about 5,000 majority of
Mr. Taylor, the Democratic-Liberal-Re
form candidate for Governor.
In Minnesota Gov. Austin, (Rod.,) was
elected in 1871 by 14.974 majority, and
Grant carried the State by 22,694. Now,
K. Davis, the Republican Governor
elect, estimates his majority at only
eight to ten thousand.
The Democrats have elected Comstock
to Congress in the fifth district of Michi
gan, by about 200 majority. Last year
the Republicans elected their man by 8,-
609 majority.
Lost year Grant carried Kansas—
bleeding Kansas”—by 33,482 majority.
This year the Democrats and Reformers
have carried the State and secured a ma
jority in the Legislature.
These figures demonstrate conclusively
how rapidly and surely that "old fossil,’
the Democratic party, has been dying
since the presidential election of 1872.
The trooly loyl dug its grave last Novem
ber and thrustit in, declaring it was
a corpse, and ought no longer to cumber
the ground. They swore it was dead,
dead, dead, and never could be resur
rected, and some weak kneed, faint
hearted Democrats thought so too. But
it wasn’t. The "old fossil” vaa only lying
quiet, nursing his wounds, and recovering
hit strength wasted in the disastrous
Greeley contest. He has shaken the
pillars and loosened the foundations of
the Radical temple this year. He will
pull it down and bury the inmates in its
ruins, when he has fully recuperated his
powers.
Mrs. Westmoreland and Her
Assailants.
Elsewhere will be found a criticism
upon some remarks alleged to have been
made at the late session of the "Woman’s
Congress” in New York city by Mrs. Ma
ria Jourdan Westmoreland, recently of
Atlanta, but now residing in the former
city. As the writer is a lady, we have
given her a hearing, bat we say now that
in our judgment she has assailed Mrs. W.
without due cause. She assumes, from
some newspaper reports, that Mrs. West
moreland, upon that oocosbn, warmly ad
vocated woman suffrage, and suggested
that a corps of female carpet-baggers be
sent Sooth for the purpose of stirring up
the women of the South to the point of
demanding the ballot. We read the Her
ald's report of Mrs. W.’s appearance at
the "Woman’s Congress,” but failed to
see any allusion to the ballot in her re
marks as reported by that paper.
Since Mrs. W.’s departure for New
York, and appearance ac the meeting in
question, sundry writers have seen proper
to assail her upon the premise that she had
advocated sending missionaries to con
vert the Southern women to the cause of
woman suffrage, but we have seen noth
ing in any published reports of her re
marks to warrant the severe judgment
some have pronoanoed. upon her. She
certainly doe* not train with Woodhnll,
Claflin A Co., for that crowd has no
standing with those who composed the
" Woman’s Congress.” and were cot al
lowed to be present at any of its meet
ing*. Fair play is a jewel always, and
we demand that Mrs. Westmoreland shall
have it at the hands of her fellow o
wmw ffin.l women of Georgia. When she
puts herself unequivocally upon the
platform of the unsexed creatures who
follow in the lead of Yic. Woodhull.
Tcxmie Claflin H M, it will be in order to
{pronounce sentence upon her. But
surely not until %n.

Mr. 01m=tead, who went up to section

Tax champion fool darkey has tamed
op in Terrell county. The Darson Jour
nal learns that a little negro was
burned to death on Dr. Fret well’s plan

the mother placed the child in a chair
near where she was washing, and the day
being rather cold, she placed chunks of
fire around the chair for the purpose of
warming the child. Its clothing caught
fire therefrom and it was burned to death.

of the collapse.
The Rome Commercial, of Tuesday,
says:
Fibx at Triox Factory—Loss Esti
mate i> at $15,000 to $20,000—Oxlt
Slight Daxaob to Machtybbt and
Building.—La*t Monday evening about
half post two o’clock, a fire was discov
ered in the willow room in the main build
ing of the Trion Factory, in Chattooga
county. How it originated is not known.
The property is owned by Messrs. Marsh
good. The Factory is well supplied
with the most approved fixe extinguish
ers. and in the willow room a fire is most
feared and provided against with extra
core. When the alarm was given the large
force pump was put to work and for a fow
moments worked admirably and was fast
gaining on the fire, when some derange
ment occurred and for ten minutes the
fire had its own way, and having an ex
ceedingly inflammable material os feeder,
the fire spread rapidly and soon covered
the entire room and caught the adjoining
picking room. Before great damage was
done in tho latter room tho force purap>
was got ready for action again and in a
short time tbs fire wis under .complete
control. Tho loss is estimated to be $15,-
000 or $20,000, principally on raw and
manufactured stock. The damage to the
building and machinery is comparatively
light and the machinery can soon be put
in working order again.
The Savannah News saja that the
"New York Yacht Club” have accepted a
proposition to make "Arkwright’s Island”
a rendezvous daring the winter months.
The dub will put up boat houses and
other necessary buildings, and will bring
out some of its fast yachts at an early day.
Thx same paper is surprised to learn
that none of the Savannah merchants
who were exhibitors at the State Fair have
made entries for the Savannah Fair.
We quote the following from the Co
lumbus Sun, of Thursday:
Merchants Patino Proxitlt.—The
officers of the various city banks inform
ns that the merchants of Columbus are
promptly meeting their notes as they fall
due. On the first and fourth, large
amounts matured, and they were paid on
presentation. Only one bank reports ex
tensions, and they were very few. Plant
ers are settling very slowly.
The Condition or Our Cotton Manu
factories.—All continue to run on full
time, except the Muscogee, which has re
duced its working hours one-quarter.
They ore still receiving orders and making
collections. The Eagle and Phenix, our
largest establishment is getting along
prosperously for the season. Where the
agents cannot get money in payment of
notes, they take cotton—hence the com
pany has received more of the £taple than
usual which passed not through the ware
houses and the Columbus receipts are
swelled that much.
Those Atlanta Cotton Reports.—
The Atlanta paper* report 17,030 bales of
cotton received at that place to Tuesday
night—and a stock of only 752 bales.
There is not a cotton man in the United
States who will credit snch a statement.
The stock is out of all proportion to the
receipts and clearly shows that through
cotton has been reported.
Sale or Guano Cotton.—During the
last day or two some 650 bales known as
guano t otton have been sold in this mar
ket, at from 12J to 131c. By contract
with planters, these cottons were to be
delivered to the guano agencies here dur
ing the months of October and Novem
ber in payment for fertilizers at 15c. per
•und. So it will be seen the guano men
ive lost nearly two cents per pound,
while the planters have paid their debts
with 15c. cotton. The loss will probably
not affect anybody here.
Grand Military Parade.—At an in
formal meeting of a number of military
officers daring the State Fair, it was de
cided to request the Governor to call out
the militia of the State in a general en
campment in Macon some time in July.
It was understood that Mayor Huff, pri
vate citisens and the Council of Macon
would raise a purse of $2,000—$1,500 to
go to the best drilled volunte^.T company,
and $500 to the best bond. Macon was
the unanimous choice of the Savannah,
Augusta, Macon and Columbus companies.
The details were not perfected, but the
above was agreed upon as the general
plan. The Columbus companies should
now bestir themselves so as to be able to
bear off the palm.
We quote as follows from the Hawkins-
ville Dispatch:
Tines at Cochran—The Circus Gitxs
a Free Show.—The Great Eastern Cir
cus, which left here Saturday night, halted
at Cochran long enough for some of its
members to break open and rob two or
three stores, the owners of which put up
a right good fight on the occasion. They
broke open the stores of Mr. Lorenzo
Sermons and Captain A. W. Weaver, and
then tried to whip these gentlemen far
not allowing them to take what they
wanted without paying therefor. They
bruised Sermons considerably, but he in
turn, bruised some of them, and it is said
pretty badly. It is reported that two or
three of them were arrested and confined

TliomasviUe Fair.
ThonastiIsLR, Ga., Novembr 5,1873.
The fourth annual fair of the Southern
Georgia Agricultural Society opened on
yesterday. There was but a small crowd
cm yesterday, but the entries ifrere more
numerous than on any*firat day of any
former exhibition. The display is very
creditable indeed,' and it bids fair to excel
any former fair of the society.
The floral hall is well filled and taste
fully arranged. The display in jellies,
conned fruit* and preserve* almost equals
the display at Macon, as to quantity. Mrs.

Richmond, November 3, 1873.
Terrible Time with Snakes.
A Bremen, Ky., correspondent of the
Courier-Journal relates how Mr. Crum-
packer, of Hopkins county, found an old
rattlesnake and seven young in the woods
near his house about a month ago. They
ran into a log heap, and he burned them.
A short time after this he was passing
through the same clump of woods when
he foud a large rattlesnake. While kill
ing it he found another, and n|)on his
searching carefully he found and killed
eight snakes and also found the den.
After waiting for the snakes to take up
winter quarters, the neighbors assembled
on the 26th ult. at their den, which was
on the slope of a hill. The entrance was
at the foot of the hill, and the den extend
ed upward at the depth of about fifteen
inches. There wa3 no earth thrown out
at the mouth of the den, though some of
the cavities were very large. It seems
that the snakes eat out their dens, in
stead of digging them.
The party of snake hunters were quite
successful, killing ninety-nine rattle
snakes and nineteen others of various
kind*. The largest wa* about five feet
long, but the average was not more than
two or three.
The place where they found these
snakes is not more than a mile and a half
from where Mr. Galbraith took out one
hundred and five rattlesnakes six years
ago, and it is thought that there is a
large den about two miles distant near
the river.
There is an extensive woodland, lying
on a little stream called Pond river, in
which they stay in summer, but guided
by that superior instinct, which is so
wonderful in the lower animals, they
leave this forest which is subject to over
flow, in winter, and make their den* in
the highlands.
The TJddcrzook 3Iurder Case.
WS9TCHK8TXR, Pa.,» November 5.—At
the adjournment of the court to-night, it
was evident the case of Udderxook was
hopeless. The able counsel for the de
fense have nothing to bring forward to
combat, in any measure, the awful array
against him. Mr. Whitney left the case
on Friday. A movement is on foot to
night to get Jane Udderzook to advise
her son to confess all he knows, and trust
to the mercy of the court. Mrs. Udder
zook had an interview with counsel for
the insurance companies, when the exact
state of affairs were laid before her,
showing the light in which all parties to
insurance and homicide cases stand, and
that the only hope her son oould have
was in making a clean breast of it. Her
determination may have the effect to
bring a confession from the prisoner.
This extraordinary murder case is at
tracting universal attention. The crime
grew out of an attempted fraud in fire
insurance—the victim, one Goes, having
been reported burned in his own house,
and subsequently murdered by Udder
zook, a party to the fraud, in order to pre
vent a discovery...
BY TELEGRAPH.
Lite Insurance in Memphis.—The
Memphis Register states: " It is estima
ted by an insuran^-j agent here, who is
pretty well up in the figures, that $500,-
000 will have to be paid by the various
companies on account of the Late epi
demic. This amount of money,Jif re
tained here and ever so little of it put in
circulation, would have a perceptible ef
fect upon local finances. Bat wo fear
unless assurances can be soon given
of a better sanitary system, the benefi
ciaries will convert their means into five-
itwenties or remove from Memphis en

Falling Off in Inports.—The New

Fertilizing Compound!
Thia fertilizer i* again offered to tho
public in its original purity. The stand
ard has been kept up in every respect
and it* intrinsic value has again been
demonstrated during the past summer,
is recommended, because:
It is permanent in its effects in return
ing to the soil the fertilizing ingredient*
taken from it by excessive cropping.
“It gives to cotton tho food necessary
to sustain life while fruiting, therefore,
what is called rust seldom occur* where
this fertilizer is used.
"It is tho best restorer of worn out
lands known to agricultural chemistry.
"Its effect* are immediate iu tho pro- .
duction of. large returns the first season.
"It is good for all crops, on any soil,
being pure unadulterated plant-food.
"It is as good as the best, and is the
least expensive of any known good fertil
izer.
“It is manufactured at the South and
almost entirely of Southern material.
"It utilizes the ammonia found on
every farm which is the most expensive
part of all complete fertilizers.”
We subjoin a few of the many certifi
cates, in our possession, as to its value,
from well known parties who have used
it, and to whom we would refer.
