AUaUSTA, C3-A.: Friday Morning, September 17, 1875. CURRENT TOPICS. Weeping, Wailing and Gnashing of Teeth. Returning merchants from New York tell a dolorous tale about the state of trade there. It has not been as bad since the great financial crash of 1837. At the very season of the year when everybody should be as busy as they can be, selling, marking and shipping goods, they are doing little or nothing. The few customers in town are generally from the South, and they are buying very cautiously. Times are worse than during the Jay Cooke panic. Goods are offered lower than ever known, and the anxiety to realize has no parallel in the mercantile history of New York. They say that New York and all New Eng land is in a general state of collapse, and about the only consolation the people have is things cannot get much worse. As badly off as we are in the South, we are not half as bad as they are. We have a magnificent crop of cotton just coming to market, which will flood the country with an abundance of money, which, if properly economized, should safely carry us through the winter and the coming summer. Whilst this is true of us, our New England friends have nothing for sale upon which they can realize more than the cost of production, and it takes hard work and extreme good luck to do that. Our returning citizens further report an appalling shrinkage in the valuation of real estate. Everything is low except taxes, and they are higher than ever known. In many instances houses and lands are offered at thirty, forty and fifty per cent, less than they were held at five years ago. To add further to the gloom of the picture, States, corporations, firms and individuals are deeply in debt, with no money with which to pay. The South was the natural support of that country. It was New England which dictated the Reconstruction measures. It was New England which waged war upon the South for fifty years prior to 1860. It Avas New England which inspired Federal soldiers to destroy Southern property. It was New England which erected the mili tary and carpet-bag governments here. It was New England Avhich demanded of Con gress its measures of revenge, enacted for the express purpose of crippling, hamper ing and killing the trade and products of theJtauth, not dreaming that curses, like young chickens, will come home to roost. Commodore Perry’s Flag-Ship Raised. Erie, Penn., September 13.—Commodore Perry s flag-ship, the Lawrence, sunk in Erie harbor sixty-two years ago, was to day r aised and the bottom found to be in a ‘good state of preservation. She is to be exhibited at the Centennial. The battle in which this man-of-war was lost Avas fought September 10, 1812. The British ships engaged Avere the Detroit and Queen Charlotte, the schooner Lady Pre vost and brigs Little Belt and Chippoway, under Capt. Barclay and mounting sixty three guns. Commodore Perry had nine vessels, the brigs Lawrence, Niagara and Caledonia, and the Scorpion, Ariel, Somers, Porcupine, Tigress and Trippe, 54 guns and 490 officers and men. The guns of i he British were of the longest range and as soon as the battle opened they Avere concentra ted upon the flag-ship, the Lawrence When she Avas sinking Perry left her and went to the Niagara, half a mile off. and with his remaining vessels at once closed with the enemy. The Detroit, Barclay’s flagship. Avas soon compelled to suiTender, quickly followed by the striking of the colors of the Queen Charlotte, Lady Pre vost and Hunter. J’he Chippeway and Belt endeavored to escape but Avere over taken by the Scorpion and Tiippe and sur rendered to them about one hour later. Thus every vessel the British had in the, fight was taken, as Avell as every man. The LaAvrenee had in officers and crew 101 men. When she went down all but 18 Avei-e either killed or wounded. The combat lasted only three hours. As soon as it was oA-er PerkY took off his cap, and placing an old envelope from his pocket on it wrote the famous dispatch to Gen. Harrison: “We have met the enemy, and they are ours; two ships, two brigs, one schooner and one sloop.” Certainly nothing at the Philadelphia Centennial will be of more curious interest than the flagship Lawrence. jtji Augusta Man Has Money W ith Ralston. Hr Joe H. Thayer, of Augusta, sends a long and very interesting letter to the Edgetie.'d Advertiser, from San Francisco. We extract: •• i suppose ere this you all have heard of the great Bank of California suspending. I was in the city and saw it all. The news fell with a great crash upon the poople of San Francisco and vicinity; and I had the misfortune to have all my money there, and at the time of the suspension was left with only a few dollars in my pocket to defray my expenses in this great city. But upon the very night of ay arrival in San Francisco, fortune chanced to throw in my way one true friend, who Avas former ly a resident of Petersburg, Va., and who liad the honor of commanding a company in the Confederate war. This kind-hearted Virginian, knowing AA’here my money was deposited, came to me and offered to loan me money or do anything in his power for me, and by him I Avas made to feel, though away from my home, relatives and friends, I had found one true heart- -which, 1 am proud to say, throbs in the breast of a Southern man and an ex-Confederate Cap tain.” Of the 1.300.000,000 human beings inhabit ing the globe, 370,090,000 have no paper nor writing material of any kind; 500,000,000 of the Mongolion race use a paper made from the stacks and leaves of plants; 10,000,000 use for graphic purposess tablets of wood; 130,000,000—the Persians, Hindoos, Arme nians and Syrians—have paper made from ottou, while the remaining 300,000,000 use the ordinary staple, The annual consump tion by this latter number is estimated at 1,800,000,000 pounds, an average of six pounds to the person, which has increased from two and a half pounds during the last fifty. To produce this amount of paper 200,000,000 pounds of woolen rags, 800,000,000 pounds of cotton rags, besides great quan tities of linen rags, straw, wood and other materials, are yearly consumed. The papor is manufactured in 3,960 paper mills, employing 90,000. male and 180,000 fetnalo laborers. The proportionate amounts man ufactured of the different kinds of paper are stated to be—of wiiting paper, 300,000,- 000 pounds; of printing paper, 900,000,000 pounds; of wall paper, 400,000,000 pounds, and 200,000,000 pounds of cartoons, blotting paper, Ac. • ‘ , t Young and old in Ban Francisco are engaged in stock jobbing.

Thomas Giddens, of Berrien county, was released from jail last week by his mother who attacked and fought the jailer, while Thomas made his escape. Atlanta Ccmmonwealth: The Governor has made 52 requisitions this year upon Gov ernors of other States lor the rendition of fugitives from justice. Thedemauds made upon Gov. Smith by Executive authorities of other States is hardly one-fifth of the above number. The Columbus Times is rightly opposed to the building of railroads by State aid. It proposes that the State Road be sold, and the proceeds be placed in the State Treas ury, as the best way to repay the tax pay ers. “Let supply and demand,” says the Times, "regulate the construction of all railroads, and the State will be better off if It Avill cease all appropriations to aid works of internal improvements.” Well, who pro poses to do otherwise? Atlanta Constitution: The meeting of the Air-Line Railroad stockholders Wednes day was very lively and noisy. After a considerable amount of sparring to de termine whether a quorum of stockholders were pi esent;, matters were harmonized by the adoption of a resolution requiring the chairman of the meeting to appoint a com mittee of three stockholders to unite with a delegation from the Pennsyivania Railroad Company in seeing the first mortgage bondholders and trying to arrange some Avay of setting the present litigation. This committee will be appointed duiing the afternoon. The meeting then adjourned to the first Wednesday in November. Greensboro Herald: Geo. Harmon, Wm. Leslie and Stephen Atkinson, n- groes, un der indictments for larceny from the house, pleaded guilty and wero sentenced by Judge Bartlett, respectively, to two, four and five years in the penitentiary. * * The numerous friends of Judge John A. Simou ton, of Greenville, Ga., for years a citizen of this place, will be pained to learn of his death, Avhich "occurred on the 9th inst. Judge Simonton was a true man, and, in his death, Meriwether county has sustained a serious loss. * * In the case of Fannie Oakes vs. the Georgia Railroad and Bank ing Company, a suit for damages for the killing of Mr. Oakes, plaintiff’s husband, an engineer on the railroad, which occur red several years ago at Union Point, the jury gave a verdict of $7,700 for Mrs. Oakes. McDuffie Journal: From information de rived from reliable sources, we are confi dent that a petition, signed by the leading citizens and presented 10 the Railroad au thorities, would secure the extension of the accommodation train from Augusta to Thomson. We believe that the officers of the road, who have taken the trouble to in vestigate and compare the expenses neces sary for the additional run, and the accom modations and benefits which wou and accrue, both to the people and the road, are satis fied that the extension to this point would be mutually advantageous, and have not only ceased to oppose, but now favor the movement. We. hope therefore, that our citizens will take the matter in hand at once, prepare a suitable petition, and for- Avard the same to Judge King. Atlanta Constitution: The city is again full of the bosses who represent all the roads that belong to the great railroad freight pool. Besides the resident stock holders in that pool affair, Ave notice that John R. McMurdo, General Freight and Passenger Agent Richmond and Air-Line Railroad; C. A. Hammond, St. Louis and Iron Mountain; Ray Knight, Selma, Rome and Dalton Railroad; B. Dunham, Mont gomery, North and South Railroad; S. 8. oolomons, South Carolina Railroad; C. E. McGhee, E.

Railroad, Chattanooga, are already reg istered at the Kimball Ilous •, and more are coming. The objects of the meeting, which will be held to-day, is to take into consider ation the general outlook for business in the South, the movement of the crops, and the appointment ot a “committee of arbi tration” composed of tlm e disinterested parties, to whom shall be referred for set tlement all questions for dispute arising between the roads belonging to the pool. We will endeavor to learn the full particu lars of the meeting for the edification of our readers to-morrow morning. Columbus Enquirer: Tiie result of the trials of the negroes arrested in Washing ton and other counties for conspiracy to get up an insurrection, proves the fidelity and impartiality Avith which law is admin istered in Georgia. Even the bitterest Radical presses of the North compli i ent Judge Johnson and the juries for the stern ness Avith which, under circumstances avcll calculated ■to bias and irritate them, they adhered to the letter of the law governing the case. They did their duty manfully. But it by no means follows that the laws do not need amendment to prevent a repe tition of such disturbances. There Avas abundant evidence to shoAV that such a conspiracy avas contemplated if not fully organized and made criminal by an attempt to carry it into execution. Is it best always to wait until overt acts of murder, arson or robbery are commit ted, before punishing those aylio conspire for i-mch deeds? We think that ord nary prudence dictates a negative answer. Sup pose that the prisoners in this caso had been white men, and that thev had been tried in a Federal court for such a conspir acy as the Enforcement Act undertakes to punish? Does not every one know that the evidence adduced would have been consid ered amply sufficient to convict them? That laAV raises the presumption of guilt when unlawful combinations are proved, and punishes men upon that presumption with barbarous cruelty. Under a State law embodying the provisions of the Enforce ment Act as to unlawful conspiracies, there would be no difficulty in convicting and punishing persons guilty of sueii se cret combinations and threats as those proven upon the prisoners acquitted in Washington and Johnson counties. If we remember rightly, a bill fram ing a State law embodying the pro- A-ision of the Enforcement Act of Con gress Avas introduced in the Legislature of Georgia and there defeated. It avou! 1 liaA-e coA-ered the late negro conspiracy, and hoisted the Radicals “ with the r own petard.” Perhaps the Georgia Legislature, at its next session, may conclude that what is good enough, (or bad enough) laAV to punish the white man ought also to be law sufficient to punish the negro, and may en act accordingly. Another particular in Avhich the laws appear to be defective or insufficient, is in the conviction and pun ishment of persons Avbo attempt to throw railroad cars from the track. A more at trocious crime, or one that is likely to prove more disastrous to human life, can not well be conceived. There ought to be no escape from the galloAVS for any one who attempts it, whether successful or not. “Symptoms.” BY JOHN G. SAXE, “He is sure possessed, Madam!” —1 Twelfth Night. If. when you hear a certain lady’s name, You feel your pulses give a sudden start, Or blush, as if some secret sense of shame Had stirred, just then, the currents of your heart; And if that name—to put it rather strung In euptony seems very- much above AH other names—l think I can’t be wrong To venture the opinion, you’re in love! If when at last bv some auspicious chance. You meet the lady at a ball or play, You shrink abashed before her modest glance, And quite forget the words you meant to And if, moreover, gazing at her hand, You wish upon that hand you were a glove, It isn’t verv hard to understand. (See “Romeo and J uliet,”) you re in love! If Avith two ladies, on a summer’s day, You sit alone, at luncheon or at tea, And think if one of them were but away (A mile or so) how happy you would be. Yet find your Avits in suen a giddy whirl, you scarcely speak to her you re think- But prattLo gayjy with the other girl— There’s reason for supposing youiein love! If all at once your amatory pen, (Which ne’er beforo attempted lyric lines, Invita musa —bane of gods and men !) To fervid song and madrigal Inclines — Wherein you rashly rhyme of “youth and “truth,” And call your subject “darling," ‘ duck or “dove,” Or sadly cruel lady’s ruth— The symptom is unfailing—you’re In love 1 If of her sex no other you can find One half so bright or boautdul as she; If to her failings you are wholly blind, (The faults, I mean, that other people see;) 1 If in her "pug” you see a “Grecian nose,” And never doubt the angel hands above Are silent Avheii she sings—you may sup pose, Beyond the slightest question, you’re in love! There is a great falling off of little boys who try to ride on the behind end of street cars. During the services in a church of Robinsonville, Texas, two girls got to fighting about a beau. What’s become of Weston?—has his sole stopped marching on? TAKE SIMMONS’ LIVER REGULATOR For all diseases of the Liver, Stomach and Spleen.

TEE cotton is spread on this machine from the bale, and is made Into a very even lap, at the rate of 300 to 400 pounds per hour. The laps are then finished on a TWO-BEATER LAPPER, WITH KITSON'S PATIENT EVENED Attahed, and owing to reccent improvements in this Evoiier, the laps when ready for the card, only varies one quarter of an ounce to the yard. The cost of picking by this system is only aboutone mill per pound on the cloth produced, and the picker house Is safer from lire than the card ro >tn. WThere is al-o a great saving of room and power over the old system. These Machines may be seen at the mills of the Augusta Factory, Langley Manufac turing Company, and at the best miMs at Lowell, Lawrence, Fall River, Manchester Lewiston, Providence, Richmond, B iltimore, etc., etc. The following are a low among many testimonials wtuen we nave received: AUGUSTA FACTORY, Augusta, Ga., July 5,1875.
