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 w-.l.

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 French Budgvt ts.ttm.iu** that there will be a surplus of IV■>3.000 francs m the f reach treasury next ;e^r. 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. • Thx timi- must be sadly out of -joint } when it is Announced that “the New Ha- , r.-n Clock Work* .ua run only eight I hours a day,” THE GEORGIA PRESS. Mr. C.-R. Hxxlzitxb, of Atlanta, has bought B. F. Yancey's interest in the Plantation, the agricultural paper pub lished in that city. Thx firm of Peeples k Yarborough, publishers and proprietors of the Law- renceville Herald, has been dissolved by the retirement of the latter gentleman. Bro. reeples will'play a lone hand here after. We hope it may prove a highly successful one. Mr. Johjc McAxdkxw, of Augusta, died very suddenly on Wednesday mom- The Chronicle and Sentinel of Thuri day says that thirty-five, instead of twenty-five Chinamen arrived there on Tuesday: A contract for 200 in all has been made, and the remainder of this number will reach Augusta in a few days. Mr. 01m=tead, who went up to section No. 4 yesterday, reports that those who have already arrived are working well. The principal reason which induced the contractors to bring them out was She trouble experienced in getting the ne groes to work more than four days in each vc-k. The Chinese will be kept at work at the upper end of the canal. 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 tation on day last week. It appears that 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. Thx Rascjlx.lt Work Gobs Bhjlyxly Oh.—We find the following in the Car- tersville Standard Tuesday morning a citizen of this place received a letter mailed in Atlanta Mon day, which the writer thereof said con tained, when dropped in the postoffice, a certain small * sum of money. When the letter was received here the lower left point comer of the envelope had been neatly cut, and the letter wm there, but no money. To trace ap and detect the thief would be no difficult task* Will the Department do it ?—Ntwmm Herald. Here is another cose: About eighteen days ago. we enclosed four dollars to a party in Atlanta, but the letter had not reached them on Saturday. We are cer tain it left the Carter* villa post office all right. Thx Marietta paper mill was sold last Tuesday to Jaa. R. Brown, who has or ganized two companies—one to improve and run the present mill, and the other to build a cotton factory upon the site of the mill that was burned by Sherman. Failure to make collections was the cause 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 in the guard house. "While Marshal Davis had one under arrest another stole Davis’ watch. A son of Mr. James Mc- Griff seeing the theft, undertook to take the scoundrel in charge, bit waa over powered. Altogether it wa* a high handed outrage, and it is fortunate for the rascals that the citizens of Cochran were not np at that boar, or much blood i would hare been shed. Thi > sort of show 1 was not enounced on the bills. ^ * ’* “ * Ratting Tinbee.—Mr. R. G. Fulghum will soon have .* half-dozen rift* of splen did timber ready to launch on the Ocmul- m for DirirR The»e raft* will average forty-ats or fifty thousand fleet, and wi ent from select timber when they shall have reached market will form a choice lot of timber. These rafts are the first that have been cut in this vicinity since the war, and for many years prior to that event. A Stsjlxboat on thx Ocnuloxb.—For the information of the fanners and others living on the Ocmnlgee and Altamaha rivers, we would state that'a private dis patch has been received in Hawkinsville that the steamer Clyde is now on her way from Savannah up the Ocznulgee, and will transport cotton or merchandise. 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. Dr. Cloner h** one hundred and forty va rieties, and Mr*. R. H.

' To-day the weather has been very dis agreeable, raining at interval*, and the mud and water i* greatly in the way of pedestrians. The crowd is greatly in creased and in spite of wind and weather we are having a right good time.

Janes L. Kenper. 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 tirely. a Falling Off in Inports.—The New York Tribune states the imoortant fact that careful comparative table* show's decrease in the receipts of foreign dry {goods at the single port of New York, ’during the last ton mouths of $20,000,000. The total is nearly $13,000,000 less than the corresponding aggregate for 1871, and the next two month* are likely to’ interest of the road; therefore. widen the difference still more.

The Tennessee Railroad Block. Knoxville, November 7.—The rail road lock continues.
