XoBTHWKsrEKN IMMIGRATION SOUTH.
The Nashville American of Sunday
says the general course of the tide of
emigration from lowa, Minnesota,
Wisconsin and other Northern States,
has been turned southward to Tenn
essee and other Southern States.
Two more families arrived here hist
night, both with ample means and a
determination to settle in our State.
They say that a large number of
other families are coming soon. The
t term an colony at Cullman’s, on the
South and North road, is receiving
daily accessions from the State of
lowa, Illinois and Wisconsin. They
are tired of the long cold winters of
that northern climate, and are going
to lay theii fortune here.
The Perry I lone Journal says at
the last meeting of Perry Grange it
was unanimously resolved that its!
several members prepare and plant
each one acre of land in wheat this!
season; and that the member report- j
u.ig the best yield from his acre be en
titled to and receive one busbel of j
wheat from each member of the j
< .range who may engage in said con
test for the premium—each contest
ant to furnish the Grange with a do-!
seviption of his land, preparation, fer
tilization, kind of wheat sown, and all
the particulars of cultivation. Also,
us many as may incline, to putin one
acre of oats subject to the same regu
lations and premium. Also, to raise
one pig to the age of one year, and
tho one successful in raising the
finest hog to receive a ham from each
member. Every member of the
Grange is considered as taking part
in these contests unless ho nqtifies
the Secretary of his declination.
Shortly after the Virginia city tire,
tlfe I lev. Dr. Cunningham, of San
Tran cisco, preached a sermon upon
the catastrophe, and positively as
serted that it was a visitation of God
upon tho hapless city because of its
sins. Tho Virginia City Chronicle
evidently docs not believe in Dr. Cun
ningham’s theology, and in comment- i
ing upon the same resents his reflec
tions upon the people of the aforesaid
unfortunate city as follows:
According to Dr. Cunningham, we
must believe that God moved “Crazy
Kate ’ to get full of whisky, and that
the Almighty inspired her to kick
over the lamp that started the tire,
lie probably created that female for
the express purpose of tiring Virginia,
and took such delight in the confla
gration when it got under headway
that he wouldn’t even save the
churches er the parsonages. Dr.
Cunningham’s God died several cen
turies ago. The Deity of the nine
teenth century doesn’ give way to bad
temper and burn up houses to show
that he is around. He doesn't quench
His fury in human blood, and he al-

proverbs, whose nom dr plume is |
Timothy Titcombe, utters some very ■
forcible truths in a very forcible man- j
ncr, whoso treatment of die word •
charity in its common acceptation, as j
he discourses of man’s ownership in ;
his possessions, and his duty to his
fellow-men. Ho says in effect, “If
we have any thing like ownership in
what he possesses, his ownership has
j its basis in God’s beuefieieiice.” If;
we hold any thing by right, for our
special use. and at our disposal, we
hold it as the gift of God, and as a !
temporary gift. We are allowed to use
these things for a time, and then we ;
pass away, and they are transferred
to the possession of others. Not iin
frequently they are taken away from
us while we live. The patient man
;of Uz exhibited liis idea of property— ,
I the true idea, in the familiar words,
“The Lord gave and the Lord hath
! taken away.” In making the world,
the Creator furnished it with all the ;
materials necessary for the support of
j the entire human family. For the \
best development of our minds and
: bodies, lie made it necessary for ns to
work, so that by moulding the agen- j
: eies, and recombining the materials !
! he permits us to use, we may secure
that which is necessary for our sus
tenance and shelter. Ho knew that
! some would be able to secure more ;
: than enough for sustenace and shel
ter, and that others would not be able
to secure enough; yet lie did not in
j tend that any should lack food and
| clothing, or any of the essentials of
healthful, bodily and mental life. He
knew, and I verily believe intended
that some should be poor, and that i
others should be rich; and thus in
stituted the emc'-gency of human be
neficence or charity. It is better on
till whole that the world should be
made up of benefactors and benefi
ciaries, than that each man should be
independent of every other man.
Thus every man whom God has
made or whom he has allowed to be- 1
| come rich, lie lias by that favor com
| missioned him to become an almoner
of his bounty to those whom he lias
; not thus favored. Tho sick and help
less, the utterly poor through misfor
tune —these are always with us. The
Savior himself stated this as a fact
! good for all time, and will any man
| dare to deny to these unfortunate
ones the right to live and enjoy so
| much of the beneficence of others as
i may be necessary for a support. The
i pauper system established’by some
: Christian States have their basis on
i the absolute right of the helpless to
j aid at the hands of the opulent. What
j we call State charities are essentially
| State equities. The lunatic asjlnms,
i the pauper establishments, hospitals,
the reform schools; all these grow out
\of the duty which the element of
! wealth in society owes to the element
I of weakness.
But the subject is growing too pro
lific, we must leave out much that
might in truth be said right here
touching the duty of man to man.
If in the economy of Heaven, there
exists the necessity of institution!) and
schemes for private and public good,
which are manifestly outside of the
legitimate sphere of the State—insti
tutions and schemes which can only
be established by the contributions of
| wealth—it is as if God had laid his
finger on every rich man’s purse, and
i pronounced the word “give.” Are
; there no charities, no objects worthy
lof your regard? God has granaries
! all over the land, tho poor, the
; helpless and the needy, to say noth
ing of the stronger claims that are
I continually coming up from the mis
; sionary and other Mascedonian cries

j STILL HARPING ON “JOHN JinOWN’s sou,” i
j • —A WARNING TO THU DEMOCRATIC
CONGRESSMAN FROM THE SOUTH—
ARE WE TO HAVE A MASHA CHE ?
t Atlanta Herald, 14th.]
On yesterday, as Senator Gordon :
was reading his mail, he came across
an anonymous letter, postmarked
“Washington,” and written on Gov
ernment paper. The letter set forth
that a plan is on foot to massacre all"
I the Democratic members of Congress
who were elected through the murder
|of negroes; in which category every
! Southern Democrat is placed. The
date selected is the 2d of December,
the anniversary of John Brown’s
. hanging.
Gen. Gordon does not pay much
attention to the mysterious warning,
and turned it over to ns for publica
l lion, with an unblanehed cheek and a
j firm hand.
We present the letter entire, just as
| it came to him:
Washington, Nov. 11th, 1875.
I am a good Democrat, but poverty
and a starving family have compelled j
me to solicit and accept a subordinate ;
situation from the government, and, j
to keep my place, I have been ob
liged to pretend to be the strongest
of Radicals. I have just, accident- j
ally, come into possession of a secret j
which it is my duty to unfold, and I
do so with fear and trembling. Cer
tain- fanatics at the North have formed
themselves into secret societies, and
intend to Come on here in great liura
bers on the Ist of December, under j
pretense of celebrating the martyr- j
dom of old John Brown, who was ex- j
ecuted on the 2d of December, 1859, j
at Charleston, Virginia. But their
real object is to murder every mem- ;
ber of Congress who lias been elected j
by the shedding of negro blood, and
I think they include in this number |
every member from the South who is |
a Democrat. They do not call it inur-;
der, but an execution for crimes com- j
mitted where there is no law. They ;
say they intend to give the whites of j
the South a practical illustration of 1
the delights of terroism and intimida
tion. They arc crazy fanatics, led to
believe, by their devilish preachers,
that they were acting in the cause of
religion and humanity.
Your own judgement will dictate
what is best to be done.
They further assert, and justify
themselves by the assertion, that not
I one white man of any influence in the
South lias ever said one word in con
demnation of the numerous negro
murders.
David Dickson, of Hancock county:
You ask me what it cost me to make
j cotton. At one time I could have
! told you its cost per pound; but what
it costs to make it now depends on so
; many contingencies it cannot be esii
j mated beforehand. I have sixty or
| seventy tenants, and it costs no two
the same to make cotton. It depends
on the price of labor and its efficiency,
direction of the sun and rain, time
j and quantity, worms, caterpillars,
storms, frosts, and land as well as
■ many other things. Crops vary from
one bale to eight bales per hand,
i There is one thing certain, when cot
ton is below sixteen cents the tenant
| and landlord, in four cases out of five,
I lose money. For example, two hands
jon an average in Georgia, without
manure, will make about three bales
each, making six bales; planting
\ twelve acres each in cotton, making
| twenty-four acres; six acres each in
I corn, making twelve acres; that is per
| each mule, thirty-six acres. You may
; say this is low average, but it is high
| enough as Georgia now is.
• Six bales cotton, 2,100 pounds

You may say iny estimate is too
j low. Then add to the product 33Jj
| per cent., making $403 20, still a loss
:of s9l 80. Add on 50 per cent., ma
king four and one-half bales per hand
; and nine bushels of corn, and amount
ing to $521 10, still a loss of $33 90.
Who will say a hand will make four
and a half bales of cotton without
J manure, and fifty-four bushels of corn,
] which is in the last estimate? I can
j see very plainly what causes so much
loss and hard times. The planter
furnishes everything—houses, gar
dens, patches, and the best wood on
his place, free of charge. The true
plan is to pay for all you get, and get
pay for all you let go. The planter
furnishes house, wood, fruit, garden
and patches, for three persons, to get
poor labor out of one—out of proper
time, poor in quality, etc.
A little five-year-older, who was al
ways allowed to choose the prettiest
kitten for his pet and playmate be
fore the other nurslings were drown
ed, was taken to liis mother’s sick
room tho other morning to see two
tiny new I ahies He look, and nfiectivi ly
from one to the other for a minute or
two, then poking his chubby finger
into the cheek of the plumpest baby,
he said, decidedly, “Save this one.”
An elderly maiden, who had suffer
ed some disappointment, thus defines
the human race: “Man, a conglomo

THE FOHTHOOMINU MESSAGE OF PRESIDENT
GRANT CUIIA AND THE THIRD TERM.
[From the Herald’s Correspondent.]
Washington, November 11.—Tho
President returned to Washington
this morning from his visit to New !
York. The trip was taken at the so- {
licitation of his friends to afford him ]
recreation and mental diversion after j
the depressing, if not stunning, blow
of tho scandal arising out of the St.
Louis whiskey frauds. It is expected
that tho reports ot his seven Cabinet
Ministers will he ready for his read
ing next Monday or early in the week,
and that ho will begin writing his
message to Congress by not later than
the 20th instant. While he will leave
the question of the finances to be dis
cussed at length in the report of Sec
retary Bristow, who is preparing an
exhaustive and able paper on the sub
ject, it is likely that he will devote a
large portion of the message to a pre
sentation of our duties us a nation in
the matter of the war in Cuba.
Should the latest efforts of Mini“ter
Cushing in u.iging Spain to settle the
troubles in the Island byceeding it to
the Uited States end in nothing, the
policy of a recognition of the Cuban I
Republic will be recommended to I
Congress, a precedent for such a step
being found in our course toward
Mexico in recognizing, annexing and
subsequently fighting for the Itepub
' lie and State of Texas. It is quite
probable that the President and Sec
retary Fish will differ forever on the
subject of recognizing Cuba. Hence j
it is thought that the very recent
rummaging of the old law books in
the Department of Justice was a
\ search for the facts in the case of
our recognition of Texas made by
Attorney General Pierrepont at the
| instance of the President, who is
j going to put his foot down, desnite
I all remonstrances from the horrified
Secretary of State. All of which
; looks like a piece of strategy on the
; part of Zack Chandler and Judge
j Edmunds to secure the President one
j more element of strength in the de
sign of securing a nomination for the
j third term. It is also a fact, notwith
i standing the cessation of work at the
Boston Navy Yard, which item was
I given with a purpose to the news
papers, that the Navy Department is
j canvassing the condition of the navy,
not merely to get details for an an
imal report of Secretary Robeson,
j but with a view to knowing its exact
; status against an emergency.
Things We Have Noticed.
We have noticed, in the beginning
of every year, that the farmers are
! going to plant more grain and less
cotton. In the fall, we notice that
there has heed just about as much
cotton and just about as much grain
planted, as there was the year be
i fore.
We have noticed every year that
the farmers are going to make pro
visions enough to supply themselves ;
bnt notwithstanding this, we notice
; that about the same number are en
| gaged hauling provisions out of the
towns, which they buy at ruinous
i prices.
We notice every year that the coun
| try is next year going to be self-sup
! porting; but when next year comes,
it is painfully evident that the coun
try gets its support from the far
I West.
W eare told every spring and snm
| mer, by the farmers : “Publish in
your paper that the cotton crop is
going to he a failure;” and when we
smile incredulously, they tell us of
the caterpillar, the boll-worm, the
drought, the rust, the bad stand, and
numerous other indubitable proofs
that the crop mast turn out a failure.
Wo suspect at the time that they are
trying to create an impression through
the papers that the crop will be small,
so as to induce a raise in the price.
But how futile arc their efforts ! The
price of cotton is never affected by
uewspaper reports, and always stay
down. At the end of each year we
I notice that the crop reaches away
j long towards 4,000,000 bales, and
j tho farmers sell less than it costs.
We notice that the farmers try
j every means—except the right one—
I to raise the price of cotton.
We notice that the policy of rais-
J iug a great deal of cotton and very
little provisions .causes the country to
languish, snd spreads bankruptcy
throughout the land.
We notice that some of the Gran
gers arc wofully false to their pro
fessions of raising their own pro
visions and buying for cash; and we
believe that they are truest Grangers
who live at home and do not have
store accounts.
We notice that farmers get more
! advice than any other class of men
and apparently pay less attention to
it. But we notice that the advice
still flows on ; the supply seems inex
haustible; and as we believe it isgood,
we propose to continue to do our
share as long as the types hold out to
print it.— La Grange Reporter.

mous amount of printed matter is
weekly weighed in the newspaper and
periodical department of the post
office, which is situated in the first

Fairbanks Platform Scales, each of
which is an accurate test of any
weight from one pound to ten tons.
The clerks in charge of work say that
the scales are as sensitive as a mag

New York, November 18.— -Mrs.
Emma C. Moulton has served a pa
per addrssed to the members of Ply

clerk of the church, in regard to her
expulsion from membership. After
alluding to her summons by tho ex
amining committees, and her reply at
the time, says : “Notwithstanding
this protest, and after it had been re
ceived, the members of the church
present adopted the recommendation
of the committee, and dropped my
name from the roil without consider
-1 ing the sufficiency of my reasons for
{ being absent from sacraments, with
out arraigning me for any unjust ac
cusitions against tho pastor, and with
| out giving me a dismission to any
other church. lam therefore, so far
as your action can do it deprived of
standing in the church of Christ, as
it seems to me without fault on my
part, and certainly without proper
j trial by you. I cannot feel that this
jis right and I ask you to join with
me in calling a council of churches
I before which you may state your rea
j sons for your action and I may state
! mine, aud which shall impartially
i judge between ns. I am one, and you
many, but I believe in God and His
! justice; in Christ and His kingdom;
jj - •-> ’
lam quite ready to be properly re
buked by such a council if I ought
to be, for not attending your services
and sacraments, while I certainly de
sire that my Christian character and
standing in the church should he vin
dicated and restored if that is right.
If you do not notify me of your con- !
sent to join with me in calling such a
council within four weeks, I shall un
derstand that you decline to do so,
and that I must proceed to ask a;
council myself to consider these mat- j
ters, which are of such importance to
me and to those to whom my good
name is dear. But it would be far
more agreeable to me to have yon
join me as one who has anxiously
tried to do her duty well as she
could amid the difficulties, in refering
the whole case between us to a com
mon tribunal.
REPORT OF THE AGRICULTURAL DEPART- j
MENT.
The official cotton crop report for
| November makes a direct comparison
. of the product of this year with that
of 1874. As former reports of condi
tion have indicated, the States bor
i dering on the Atlautic, all showed
reduced production, and those in the
Mississippi valley an increased yield.
Prior to November Ist killing frosts
had appeared in the more northern
I States of the cotton belt, in some \
j counties of Northern Georgia and in
i the district north of the Tennessee
river, in Alabama and elsewhere.
The cotton plant was uuinjured and
'is generally in vigorous growth on
. the best lands. In one parish in
Louisiana (Claibourne) it is claimed
; that a week’s continuance of fine
weather would increase the local yield
\ several hundred bales. There is
much inequality of the progress of the
; picking.
In some comities of Georgia and
! Alabama the harvest is nearly over.
; In Mississippi the work has been de
layed by political difficulties and by
sickness. In Washington county
two thirds of the crop was ungather- j
ed, and it was feared that Christmas 1
would find oue-fourtlj still in the
field. Fine weather has been the rule
with a few exceptions; but in Louisi
ana much fibre has been lost or stain
ed by storms. The effect of the
j great September storm in Southern
, Texas proves less disastrous than was
| at first represented.
The amount of lint in comparison
with the weight of seed cotton is
quite variable, ranging from 25 to 33
; per cent., but so far as reported ap
pears to be less than 1874.
Tho State percentages, represent
ing the aggregate quantity as com
pared with last year, are as follows:
North Carolinia 91, South Carolina
7G, Georgia 74, Florida 90, Alabama
102, Mississippi 111, Louisiana 100,
Texas 114, Arkansas 135, Tennessee
! 110. The crop of Arkansas is a good
one, but the figures are increased
more by the fact of last year’s poor
yield than by the excess of this year’s
crop. These figures point to a small
advance upon last year’s aggregate,
if November and December should be
favorable for the opening and picking
of the top crop.
MEXICAN OUTRAGES.
Brownsville, November 15. —The
Federal grand jury, in their report,
say that from Brownsville to the Pe
cas river, a distance of six hundred
miles in length and one hundred in
width to the Ni ues river, all
American rancheros have been order
ed to leave their homes by Mexican
raiders on pain of death, and that one
hundred thousand head of stolen cat
tle have been driven to Mexico an
nually by Mexican maurauders. Num
bers of Federal officials have been as
sassinated, post offices burned, cus
tom houses robbed, mail carries and
inspectors of customs killed while in
discharge of their duties, and the per
petrators of these crimes have gone
unpunished. The general insecurity
of life and property prevails on the
border. The jury found eighty in
dictments, and urge decisive action
on the part of the State and general
government to punish criminals, and
protect the inhabitants against the
Mexican banditti.
