*Ths Cotton Crop.
The following statistics, which appeared in the
New Orleans Picayune of the 10th inst., will no
doubt interest those of our readers engaged in tho
cotton trade :
The accounts in relation to the damage done by
the overflow show that it will turn out to be much
larger than was generally apprehended. More
over, the latest advices represent the rivers to be
rising, so that there is not the remotest chance
that any of the submerged lands can be made
available for cultivation. Some very experienced
parties who do not express an opinion lightly, esti
mate that the land now under water produces from
200,000 to 300,000 bales.
The period of blooming this year may be set
down about the Ist to the 3d of June. Last year
this point was not reached until the 24th, so that
we are full three weeks ahead. We subjoin the
dates of blooming and the earliest fall frosts for the
last eighteen years :
Years Blooms. Earliest fall frost. Crop.

1858, June 1,
This table discloses that notwithstanding the
very late blooming last year, the crop was singu
larly favored by the lateness of the fall, as frost
held off untill the 20th November, which is far in
excess of the ordinary average. A killing frost
usually takes place between the 20th and 25th of
Oct. so that if there be no exception to this rule next
fall the growing season will not virtually be longer
than was the case last year. We have no idea of
broaching the topic of growth in advance of the vi
cissitudes to which the plant is yet exposed, but
the table above is interesting, as going to show that
this has not been the earliest season on record, as
some people assert.
Bank Returns.— Some of our banks, We learn,
as required by our State laws, made their returns,
under the Governor’s late order, in conformity
thereto. Others, it is rumored, will decline to
comply with the act of the last legi-lature, under
the plea that they have not accepted of the bene
fits'of that law, and lienee do not intend to act un
der if. This course, we would respectfully sug
gest to them, might in the end result to their in
jury, and bring about a state of things they little
expect. They should recollect that under the
former act requiring bank returns to be made, it
was provided that where any of the banks failed
to make their returns to the Governor when called
upon, it was in that case made the duty of the
Governor, by proclamation, to refuse the bills of
said bank or banks for taxes and other pvqlic dues.
Now, should any of the banks refuse to make their
returns in accordance with the act of the last legis
lature, the Governor may not consider the law
complied with, and if this should be so. they can
readily imagine the consequences that may follow.
Having heretofore sustained the banks in their
course, we throw out these hints that they may
keep themselves in the right and act advfsedly.—
Southern Recorder, June 15.
Iron Ties.
To the Cotton Planters of Alabama:
Below I present, for your consideration, addi
tional facts in regard to the experience of planters
in the use of iron hoops. I obtained this state
ment from a gentleman who represents, in Louis
iana and Mississippi, the same company and inter
est which is represented here by one of our largest
warehouses, but too late to accompany my “Card”
of the Ist instant, if there is any doubt still rest
ing on your minds yi regard to the “rust” affair, 1
am assured by Mr. Pratt, that the lion. John Per
kins, of Ashwood, La., will be pleased to remove
it so far as he is able, and probably every other
gentleman whose name appears in this letter.
Editors throughout the state friendly to the in
terests of the cotton planters (their readers,) v ill
please publish this letter, or a sufficiency thereof
to show them who to enquire of for information
about iron ties, and at least, to warn them not to
enquire of the manufacturers of bale rope. All
those, too, who are opposed to a “crushing-out”
system oi wouid-be-monopolists, are requested to
publish this letter and add this fact: Since the ad
vent of iron lies in this city, bale rope has declined
two cents per pound ! and, as it is now down to 10
cents, I shall, lor the balance of this year, (or un
til a further decline in rope, sell the Ingersoll
Lock and Hoops at 8 cents per pound round, or
64 cents prr bale!
Very respectfully,
J. BEATTIE, Jr.,
Agent for Ingersoll’s Hoop Locks,
Exchange Hotel, Montgomery.
Exchange Hotel. )
Montgomery, Ala. May 31,1858. £
J. Beattif., Jr.— Hear Sir : At your request
that I would “furnish you with a written state
ment of what I know in regard to the use of hoop
iron as a tie for cotton bales”—made this day, ver
bally—and “especially what effect the rust from
hoops lias upon bales,” —-I have to say: That lam
Agent for the Carver Colton Gin Company —that
my business for the last fifteen years, has required
my residence in the States of Louisiana and Miss
issippi—that I know, of my own knowledge, that
Hon. John Perkins, oi Somersett, Ashwood Land
ing, La., John Routh, St. Joseph, La., Francis and
James Surzette, of Natchez, Miss., have, for many
years past, used hoop iron exclusively for tying
their cotton bales. Until the invention of the
“Homes & Churchill Tie,” (which they and hun
dreds of others notv use.) these gentlemen used riv
ets for fastening the hoops. They, for the want of
such convenience, had to employ powerful presses
on their plantations, to compress their cotton ; and
now the use of such presses is spreading, notwith
standing the use of new devices for fastening obvi
ates the difficulty at the New Orleans presses.
Since the introduction of the “McComb,” the
“Holmes & Churchill,” and other devices for fas
tening, the use of hoops is becoming general on the
Mississippi river. Amongst others who use iron,
I give you the names of E. R. Bennett and John
Routh, Jr., of Ashwood, La, Jas Hollingsworth
and Jeff. Briscoe, of St. Joseph; Gabiiel Shields,
Natchez; John Murdock, estate of Dr. Jenkins,
Benj. Roach, Jas. Metcalf and Alex. Henderson,
Natchez. I have heard the Hon. John Perkins
say that he was the first to use iron hoops; that
at first he thought it necessary to dip his hoops in
tar to protect them from rust, but that for many
years he had used nothing on his hoops, and had
never had a pound of cotton stained by rust.
The Holmes & Churchill Tie is made by insert
ing iron buttons at one end and peforating holes
with slot at the other end ofthe hoop, to suit them.
The McComb you know. These are considered
the best, among others, in use in the Southwest.
As you consider my opinion of value, from the
fact of mv having seen so many others, 1 have to
say, that I believe, from the slight examination I
have made, that the Ingersoll Lock, which you
now have, is superior, in many particulars, to any
I have seen.
Respectfully,
VVM. F. PRATT,
Agent E. Carver Company.
Comptroller General’s Notice.
The following notice has been issued from the
Office of the Comptroller General:
TO THE RECEIVERS OF TAX RETURNS
OF THE STATE OF GEORGIA.
Having been called on frequently by Receivers
of Tax Returns, to be informed what penalty at
taches to a tax payer where he makes a fraudulent
return, by refusing to give in all of his property,
or negleciing or refusing to put a proper value up
on the same, I take this method of informing all,
that the Supreme Court has declared the follow
ing provision of the act of 1804, to be in full force,
viz:
“8 Sec. viii. If any person or persons shall neg
lect, or refuse, to give in a return of his, her, or
their taxable property, or shall be convicted of
fraud or making a false return thereof, She she or
they shall be liable to pay to the clerk of the Infe
rior Court of the county, a fine ot ten dollars for
every hundred dollars valuation, so neglected or
concealed, one half whereof for the use of thecoun
ty, under the direction of the Inferior Court, and
the other half for the use ol the informer, or infor
mers, to be recovered in any Court having cogni
zance of the same.” —{See T. R. R. Cobb’s Digest
page 1047.)
A conviction under thisaot does not release the
party from any penalty he, she, or they may incur
ior false swearing, &c.
Yours respectfully,
PETERSON THWEATT,
Comptroller General.

Emancipation of Slaves in Virginia.— Within
the last few days the Court lias decided another
case, illustrating, in a marked manner, the princi
ple laid down in Bayly vs. Poindexter. Mrs. Judge
Coalter, of Fredericksburg, gave her slaves, in sub
stance, an election between freedom and slavery.
The question arose upon the will, whether she in
tended to give them an absolute emancipation, or
a mere choicejof being free or not. It was very
generally, if not universally, regarded by the pro
fession as amounting to an absolute and complete
emancipation, The slaves were decided by the
lower Court to be [free. An appeal, was advised,
we understand, by Mr. John Howard, and the case
was .argued by counsel. Mr. Howard and Mr.
Patton forthe parties claiming the slave, and Mr.
Little and Mr. Morson for the executors. The
Court delivered their decision, reviewing and con-
firming the doctrine decided by the case of Bavly
and Poindexter—that the slave has in Virginia no
civil right or legal capacity whatever: and conse
quently, no power to make an election between
Ireedom and slavery. Mrs. Coaiter’s will, the
Court decided, did not absolutely emancipate, hut
merely gave the slaves an election—thus the will
was void, and the slaves remained in slavery.—

When Machaon, the Greek Physician was slain, Ilctner
said ol him “a good Physician is worth as much as a whole
army.” Then a good medicine like AYER’S CATH
ARTIC PILLS, is worth a great deal more, because it
cures as well, works wider, and lasts longer. The circle
of the best Physician’s labor must be narrow, while such a
remedy is available to all—can be had by every body, and

TAYLOR COUNTY PRESENTMENTS
THE Grand Jury of Taylor County, Georgia, at the
April Term, 1858, in closing their labors beg leave
to make the following General Presentments:
Through proper committees we have examined the
books of the Clerk of the Superior Court and find them
neatly, handsomely and correctly kept, in our opinion re
flecting much credit on that officer. We feel,too from an
examination oi’the books of the Clerk of the Inferior court
and the Ordinary, that the same compliment is due to
these officers
We find upon enquiry that the roads of the county are
not in a good condition, and we do most sincerely and
heartily invoke the attention of tho proper authorities to
the subject—as well as the general enforcement of the
road laws. We find too tlwu the Bridge known as Walk
er’s Bridge is entirely out out of repair and has gone down
and we recommend that the road leading from Lewis’
Bridge to I<evi Turner’s Bridge, now a private road, be
made public and kept iu good repair at the expense of the
public. We also call the special attention of the
authorities to the building of a good Bridge on little Pat
saliga Creek on the road leading from Macon to Colum
bus, and Irom Butler to Grey’s Ferry—known as McCra
ry’s Bridge.
We find on careful examination that the present Jail
of said county is wholly insecure and worthless as a Jail,
and that the county is compelled to incur great expense to
p ocure the proper confinement oi criminals. We there
fore recommend that said Jail bo disposed of in the discre
tion ofthe Inferior Court to the best advantage, and that
the proceeds of the same, and other funds raised by taxa
tion, be appropriated to the building ot a good and suffi
cient Jail-1 .
We concur heartily with his Honor, Judge Lamar, in his
lucid and impressive charge in regard to education ot the
poor children.of our county, and for the accomplishment
of said purpose we recommend to the Ordinary that an
additional tax be levied of 30 per cent.
We have examined the booksandaccounts of the county
Treasurer, 4nd.(indhi3 accounts to stand as follows:
Amount on hand April 5, 1857 $1,033.78
Amount collected from sources not reported.. 499.21
$1,532.99
Amount paid out from April 5,1857, to April
5,1853 1,036.811
Balance on hand @496,17i
The above balance we find consists oi the following
accounts and fi fas, to which wo call the attention of tiie
Inferior Court,and recommend that they employ some
competent attorney to collect the same, to-wit:
1 fi fa on S. R. Hobbs 3 81.36
2 fi fas ou Wm. Moody 46.75
Note on Holsey & Miller 300.00
Note on Bartley McCrary 65.95
Cash 2.11
$196,171
Upon a careful examination we find that all funds in the
Ordinary’s hands for poor school purposes have been pro*
perly disbursed—leaving in his bands a balance ot about
SIOO.
VVe recommend also that the seats in tire Grand and
Petit Jury rooms as well as the Jury boxes in the Court
room be well cushioned and made as comfortable as can
economically be done.
In common with all the good ciiizens oi the communi
ty and with the Grand Junta of other countries, we can
but deplore the prevalence of crime and immorality in the
country!
We have endeavored to do our duly to remedy this
evil, and we doubt not that other Grand Juries have done
the same ; but we are sincerely of the opinion that Grand
Juries and ail tho authorities ot tho law will be powerless
to check this evil as long as the present stalute lor grant
ing Retail License is of force in tiie State. We do not re
commend any legislation in favor of the total prohibition
of the sale of Spirituous Liquors, because experience has
taught that all such legislation is not only injurious but
wholly inoperative. But wo do think that much can bo
effected by wise aud prudent legislation to regulato the
sale of Spirituous Liquors and greatly curtail and dimin
ish the amount of crime growing out of the same- We
therefore recommend to our Seuator and Representative
to intioduce and seek the passage of a law in the Legisla
ture repealing all existing laws in regard to the grantiug
of License ; and providing that any person wishing to ob
tain License to retail Spirituous Liquors shall make his
application by written petition with good vouchers for his
character, to the Grand Jury of the county, and that tho
Grand Jury shall have tire right to say whether or not such
applicant shall license at all or not, and it so, that the
Grand Jury shall have the right to say how much shall
bo paid fur said license—in no case to exceed $50..
We also recommend that the Tax Collector bo allowed
his insolvent list amounting to $212 63, State Tax $122.2G,
County $90.37i.
In taking leave of his Honor Judge Lamar, we lake
great pleasure in testilying to the zoal, impartiality and
great ability with which he has discharged the responsible
and onerous duties devolving upon him during lire past
week, and coming as he does from a foreign circuit we
trust that the hospitality and courtesy of our citizens has
rendered his stay amongst us pleasant and agreeable, and
we congratulate our fellow citizens—in tiie absence of our
excellent Judgo, E. 11 W’orrell—that the vacancy has
been filled hy an officer so able and efficient.
To the Solicitor General, Col- Oliver, wo likewise ten
der our thanks lor his polite attention lo our body, and beg
leave to express our hearty approbation of his diligence
and general efficiency in the discharge of his official duties
at tilts Term of tiie Court. And we would add that these
expressions of thanks and approbation as regards the pre
siding Judge and the Solicitor General are not merely
formal but reflect our general views and feelings.
We recommend that these I’resemmenls be published in
the Columbus Enquirer and Times & Sentinel.

which I had lpng suffered.”
J. W. Woodwell, Esq.,says: “I have used Boerhave’s
Holland Bitters myself, and recommeded it others, know
it to be just what it is represented.”
Aid. Jonathan Neely, of Lower St. Clair, says: ‘I have
derived greai benefit from its use for weakness of the sto

I'his is a purely vegetable compound, prepared on strictly
scientific principles,after themanner of the celebrated Hol
land Professor, Boerhave. Because of its great success in
most oft he European States, its introduction intothe United
States was intended more especially for those of our father
land scattered here and there over the face of this mighty
country. Meeting with great success among them, I now of
fer it to the American public, knowingthat Its truly wonder
ful medicinal virtues must? be acknowledged.
It is particularly recommended to those persons whose
constitutions may have been impaired by thecontinuons use
of ardent spirits, orother forms of dissipation. Generally in
stantaneousiu effect, it finds its way directly to the seat of
iife, thrilling and quickening every nerve, raising up the
drooping spirit,and, in fact,infusing new health and vigor in
the system.
NOTICE. —Whoever expects to find this'a beverage will be
disappointed; but to the sick, weak and low spirited, it will
prove a grateful aromatic cord.al, possessed of singular rem
edial properties.
CAUTION!
The great popularity of thisdelightful'aroma has induced
many imitations, which the public should guard against pur
chasing- Be not persuaded to buy anything else until you
have given Boerhave’s Holland Bitters a fair trial. One Bot
tle will convince you how infinitely superior it is to gall these
imitations.
