A meetimo of the Atlanta Chamber of Commoreo and Board of Trade was held Saturday, todoviso eome plan of furnish ing relief to the sufferers of Savannah. tVe extract a portion of the proceedings : Col. Lamar arose, and in brief stated that bo had been sont by tho citizens of Sa vannah to explain tlieir position and ask relief. Ho said that ho had received a letter from Captain John F. Wheaton, of V %»vannah, asking for donations of chickcms, eggs, butter, clothing and mon ey or id fact that tho suffering popula tion would feel greatly indebted for any contributions that the citizens of At lanta could make That tho Benovolont Association, which dated its birth in ISM, had, at tho outbreak of tho yellow fever, some weeks ago, about §16.000 which was, or nearly, expended to meet tho wants of tho suffering citizens in the Forest City, such a* medicines, nourishments of various kinds, and ft'-walso to pay nurses for the sick and which "was tho main point in / treating the sickness. Colonel Lamar went on to stato that on the morning that , he left home there was but one meat stall I in the market at whioh meat was offered for sule; that tho vendors of produce, butchers and salesmen of market sup plies would rot come to town with their vegetables, meats, etc., as long as any sick cera was in tho city, and, conse quently, there was nothing to buy, even if the people had the money to spend; that be had been informed by General William McRae, Superintendent of tho West ora and Atlantic railroad, and Mr. William Rogers, Superintendent of tbo Central railroad, that all contributions would be forwarded over their ronds free of charge. Sir. Garrett then read a letter from tho agent of the Southern Express Company at this point, stating that any goods consigned to tho suffering people of Savannah would bo forwarded byhim free of charge. Mr. John Stephens stated that he thought it advisable that the chair appoint a committee to solicit the contributions of ice, poultry, eggs, butter, money, etc., to bo shipped to Savannah, and suggested that it would be better to send tho goods themselves, and that wh-n money was donated that it be given to Colonel Lama r, who would ujo it judiciously, as ho did not see tho advantage of sending money when there were no goods to buy. His Honor, May or C. C. Hummock, banded tho secretary a proclamation of Mayor Huff, of Macon, relative to tbe sick:-ess in Savannah, which was read to the body. Dr. N. L. Angler then made a motion that the chair appoint a committee of nine to solicit contributions from our citizens. On this motion being put before tbe meeting and carried, the chair appointed the following gentlemen upon tho com mittee: S. M. Inman, chairman; J. H. Franklin, J. W. English, A. F. Manually. W. W. Compton. E P. Chamberlin, Henry A. Fuller, J. J. Toon and John Stephens. The Imlian War. CuETr.NNE, AY.

In tho upper portion of the State, it ii as good and much better than last year. In tbo eastern and southern sections, it is very much injured by rust and drouth, and its condition about the same as last year. Picking has net commenced in tbe upper counties. In the middlo counties it bat just begun; and in the lower conn ties, where the rest is doiDg much injury,, it is general. In the upper part of tbe S'ate it wil become general between tbo 15th and 25tb,nnd in tlio middlo counties by the 10th of September. Worms —Nono are reported Tbo crop is from ten to fifteen days later than la*t year, but the prevailing hot weather and rust, which is reported in fifteen counties aro forcing it op-n rap idly, and to large extent before tho boll are fnlly matured. Foreign Nows London, Septembor 11 —A special dis patch from Bargos to tho Daily Newt states that Tweed was arrested at Pon- tevedora, whero ho landed from a sailing vessel in which ho escaped from Cuba. Mr. Ardee, Charge d’Affnires of »ho United States in the absence of Minis ter Cushing, visited tho Spanish Minis ter of Foreign Affairs at Lagranga, and arranged for the surrender of tho priso nc-r to tho American Government. Tbo Spanish authorities had been no tified of Tweed’s sailing for Spain, and preparations had boon made for his arrest long before his arrival. Madrid, September 11.—The following uro additional particulars of the arrest of Wm. M. Tweed: Captain General Jovcllar, at Havana, received intelligence that Tweed had disembarked at S.intia go do Cuba and notified tho authorities there. Before tho latter could take ac tion Tweed embarked aboard tho vessel Carmen, bound to Vigo. Captain General Jovcllar then tole graphed to th-i Madrid Government which, fearing tho Carmen might go to somo other port, requested tbe authori ties at all tho Spanish ports to examino tho persons on board all vessels named Carmen. There aro twelve Spanish ves sels of that name. Tho portrait of Tweed being indispen- Rablo for his identification, tho Spanish anthorities obtained and made copies of a caricature in an American journal rep resenting him as beating a child, sup posed to typify American justice. Thin caricature led the Spanish authoritio < and reporters of Spanish papers to believo Tweed had been kidnapping children; hence, in tbe first official announcement received hero of tho arrest of “Twid,” which is supposed to hnvo been n. tele graphic corruption of “Tweed”—Ameri can—it was stated that bo had been ar- rested for kidnapping American children. Tweed is still confined in tho Islo of Saint Simon, in Vigo bay, where ho is undergoing quarantine, nnd is strictly watched l>y tbo Custom house guards. At tho expiration of his quarantino he will bo surrendered to tho United States representative. As there aro no direct steamers bo- tween Spain nnd North America, Tweed will be 6cnt to Cuba, and from there to Now York. The Epoea states that tho municipal authorities of New York took tho initiative in asking for Tweed’s ex tradition from Captain General Jovellar. Belgrade, September 11.—There is little chango in tho Servian campaign. Tchernayeff’s prospects aro brighter than they were a week ngo. Tho Tarks evi dently wish to pass Alexinatz and tako Beligrad by a flack movement, but that purpose has been checked by tho advance of Hervetovitch, and it is clear they will still have to fight a decisive battle. There were no signs of tho war-liko spirit abating in Servia. to blot Turkey from the map of Europe would lead to a war in which tht Bulga rian horrors wonld bo greatly exceeded It wonld drive the Turks into Asia, ani still there would be many millions of Chriitians and Mahomeduns living to- getber, and not in Tnrkish Asia only. I do not think we conld treat the qnestion in any way that would more prejudice their poitionthan if in feeling indignation against tbe atrocities, we bold language and display feelings against the whole Turkish Mohammedan races, which would excite feelings of mntaal animosity between the two re ligions. Let me add a word of warning. Do not suppose becausa wo look upon theso questions from a philanthropic point of view that all foreign powers and for eign politicians do the same, and as a so quenca to this, I would ask you cot to ■uk your Government to do that which is impossible, bccaoso if yon adopt that course yon pat it out of cur power to do anythin? at all. A member of the deputation asked Earl Derby what chance there was for tho adoption of Midhat Pasha’s conrti tutional reform, to which hia Lordship replied that he did cot know what were Midhat Pasha's proposals. He was aware that tho statesman had very liberal ideas about reforming the Ottoman adminis tration. but was not aware of tho char acter of his project. Even if he knew it, ho would not be prepared to say any thing about it without some previous ex amination and study. Tbe Times to day, in an editorial arti do on tho Eastern question, says tho temper of Europe is swiftly undergoing a menacing change. More conntnesthan Russia might easily pass beyond the con trnl of statesmen, tho very danger of which Lord Derby warned. Turbot threatens to become a reality. He said, with startling force, that a renewal of the outrages would be more dira9trous to tbo Porte than the loss of a battle. If tho statements regarding atrocities in Servia provo true it may matter little whether they should afterwards prove exaggerations. The Russian people seem approaching a state of popular excitement, when even false reports will mako peace an impossi- bilty. Every day of warfare adds to the likelihood that the strife may overflow its present limits. There are diplomatic signs which might warn Turkey's rulers now narrow ia the foothold on which they must pick their way. They will find it less easy than it has been in former times to keep Turkey safe by exciting the jealousies of rival powers If they display their wonted astuteness they will seize any expedient that offers a cbanco of peace. A special dispatch from Belgrado to tbo Times says before tho publication of tho order holding soldiers mutilating themselves liable to tho penalty of death, many Servians had already been exe cuted for that offense. On one occasion ns many as forty in a batch were execu ted. I havo been told that their hospitals of which more than half tho patients are of this cla3e, though accounts of somo Turkish outrages are, unhappily, too well established to bo doubted. A fair view of the proceedings of the Turkish force is not to bo gathered from the fearful tales so carefully collected. An English, gen tleman who passed through a Servian district lately visited by tho Turks re ports thnt he had tunny opportunities wf talking with tho people whoso homes had been altogether in tho hands of tho en emy, and ho met with not a single case of gross outrage.

New Yore, September 11.—On account of tho similarity of names theTalmages, tho cil swindlers, have been confounded with Talmages Sons, rico dealers. They are not related financially or otherwise. Foreign Intelligence. London, September 11.—E.rl Derby received two deputations to-day—repre senting the workingmen’s movement and one regarding the atrocities in Bulgaria and peace. Derby said in reply to the address that he would not waste timo in defending himself and his colleagues against the various imputations thrownout by many writers and speakers in the prevailing ex citement, but those imputations had been repeated so often that ho must al lude to them. The Government has been charged with indifference to the crimes committed. All that had been done in tho diplomatic matters, and in sending a fleet to Besika Bay, was done, if cot be foro the outrages occurred, at any rote, before they were known. He denied that tho Government was in any sense re sponsible for the outbreaks or fanaticism among the Turkish population. He de scribed tho previous action of the English Government, and said they bad nothing to unsay of what they had said, and nothing in regret of what they had done. If the Turks believed that all Europe desired to drive them back into Asia,*tho excesses were prompted by revenge and despair. He believed the eo-viction that England desired fair play, had done more than anything elee to prevent the war from assuming the character of a religious -var, and to pre vent the commission of atrocities in many provinces instead of in one. England held no exceptional position in consequence of the Crimean war, vrhieh at its outset was pushed mainly by the Emperor of the French. Lord Derby said he believe! it would be as much a mistake now as formerly to let the Turk ish Empire take care of itself. Its value to us, of its territorial integrity, was real and permanent. The last won! on the Eastern question, is who is to have Con- slintinoplo? Any attempt partition would be the signal for an European war; but the relations between Turkey an! her various subject races had been val to the . modified repeatedly, an! they might be modified again. All arrangements for local Bdf’jOTBHi* inent which had been made with Egypt, the Lebanon and Crite, had been settled with the concurrence of the guaranteeing powers, but he would never put his name to any scheme which he believed would not work as to tbe future. Tee British Government was doing all in its power to secure an Armistice and peace. I be changes to bo made must depend upon the concord and action of all Europe, and into tho nature thereof he could not now (Bter. It was unjust to denounce a whole race for the faults of some, and on endeavor ally clear weather. MIDNIGHT DISPATCHES. Maine Election.

A Talk with the Governor, hut Not an Interview—Uncle Samuel Parry* Ing Questions with Rosebuds. Albany Correspondence N. Y. Herald.} “ Well, Governor,” esid the Herald cor respondent, after the customary greet ings, “I would like to ask your opinion of tne present political outlook and of the troubles that Beem to have fallen on the Democrats in this State since the Sara toga convention.” “ I think you know,” replied the Gov ernor, with a pleasant smile, “ that I havo very few concealments so far as public matters is concerned, and that where any expression of opinion from mo can be of pnblic benefit I am nercr backward in speaking. Bat, as you uro a member of the prers, I must tell you at once that I cannot consent to be 'interviewed.”’ “There are so many subjects ol impor tance in the pending contest now claim ing public attention. Governor, that I thought you might be willing to let tho Herald hear jour views and present them to its readers.” “If I were desirous of expressing my views I am fully sensible of _tho great value of t'aollerald as a medium o$com munication with the world; but I prefer now to devote my attention to the Exec utive business of tho State and to leave all matters pertaining to the election and to outside matters to be discussed others. I can assure you that I havo very little leisure, as yoa may s from theso pile of documents in my pri rate residence;” and the Governor point ed to the tables ol his library, heaped with bundles of letters and papers re lating to State affairs. “ My practice ' not to suffer business to accumulate my hands. I dispose of tho matters that come before mo in their order os speedily as possible, and when that is done I have little time and little inclination to do more than to tako my customary ride. I hoped to have been allowed talk with you on subjects connected with the campaign, Governor ; for this nee«ns to be a season in which many who are usually silent consent to an unbosom' ing.” ’ ’’Yes,” said the Governor, laughing, "I see. that President Grant has depar ed from his usual habit of silence, nnd has been talking with a Herald repre sentAtive. He always talka well, and tho Herald interviews with him have been exceedingly interesting, although, course, I sbeuld differ with Borne of his views. I can very well understand hon\ the President, feeling a senso of relief from the near approach of tho cessation of the cores of office, may experience pleasure on talking freely on all subjects, He must hare had a trying timo daring ibo hot weather in Washington, and hope his health has not suffered.” “No, tho President is looking very well indeed. Governor, and seems to enjoy bis freedom at Lone Branch as a school boy enjoys his holiday.” “I am very glad to hear it. The cool breezes of tho sea must be welcomo in deed after tho close atmosphere of the National Capital in tlio hot summer rnonthB. I havo been myself unablo to seek much chango this summer, both by reason of my official business and through tho illness of my brother. Howovor, Albany is a cool city and a very pleasant one, and I do not think my summer resi dence here has been injurious to me.’ __” Will you allow mo to ask.you. Gov ernor, whether you think Governor Sey mour’s——” "Excuse me,” broke in tho Governor, “I want to show you my flowers. They aro very beautiful, and arc looking /very well just now. Will you walk into the garden with mo ?” - The Lerald eoctevpomteutaScdmpanied tho Governor through tho fine grounds, hoping that tho fragrance of tho flowers might have tho effect of unloosening tho Executive tongue. In order to test tho point, he repeated his question: “Do you think, Governor, that Horatio Seymour’s—” “Did you over soo a more luxuriant growth of roses than that,” orclaimed the Governor, enthusiastically, pointing to a thickly covered bu9h; “let mo pick ono for you. Their fragrance you will find equal to their beauty."* “The roses are very beautiful, Gov ernor, and as there appear to bo enough of them to stop all further questions on tho point I touched upon will you allow mo to ask you how tho Stato Government is going on under the roduced expendi tures ?” "Admirably,” replied Gov. Tilden; “ wo are running tho government at little more than half what it cost two or threo years ngo, and the business is at least folly as efficiently done. A better gov ernment may be secured under a proper economy, with unnecessary and improper leakage stopped, than under a system of extravagance, which tends to make all public officers indifferent and reckless, .his is the true secret of administrative reform.” As it was evident that tho Governor was resolved not to talk on subjects con nected with tho canvass tho Herald cor respondent confined his conversation to general topics, and finally took his de parture satisfied that the Governor was in excellent health and spirits and fully resolved not to be led by any bypaths into an “interview."

Savannah, Ga., September 11.—The following is tbo crop report for August: Georgia—Tho weather for the past month has been hot and dry. While it has been more favorablo for picking than last year, it has ‘been unfavorable for the development of the plant. Up to the 15th of August the plant was fruiting remarkably well. The dry and hot weather then caused a considerable shedding of squares and bolls. iThe plant is more matured thaa"-last year, and there is more open cotton in the fields, although tho anticipations of a month ago will not be realized, bat there is a prospect of a larger yield throughout tbe State than lost year. Picking became general in Southwest Georgia on the 25th of Augnst. and in Middle and Northern Georgia about the loth proximo. Worms appeared only in Southwest Georgia, and but little damage was done except on river bottoms.' The grasshoppers, so abundant in Northern Georgia, mentioned in the last report, did no damage. There is considerable complaint all over the State of rust on sandy lands, and the yield has been greatly curtailed thereby. Florida—The weather has been too hot and dry the post mouth, and not as favor able for the plant ns last year. Cotton is well fruited, but the prospect has beec greatly damaged by ru3t. The condition of the crop is not good, and does not differ materially from last year, the yield hav ing been much below the average. Pick ing was general abont the first of Sep tember. Worms appeared throughout the State, but, on account of the hot and dry weather, did no damage except to the top crop on low lands. Capital Notes.
