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- I >\vs even such maligners as Dr. Cnu ningle: i to draw a fat salary and iu s di the intelligence of the age in a h uidsoum church. ('(lunl ry CorrespoiKliMtei*. Di.ah Reporter:-—An unknown au thor in his teachings on popular. 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 : for help. S.— —i m —— The Newspaper Business in a Nut [ shell. —lt is the business of a news paper to furnish news—that is implied in the very inception of a newspaper j enterprise. People who object to the | more disagreeable events that make I up the sum of the world’s daily record are at liberty to pass the repugnant part by, and read only such things as | are congenial. Deaths are not as a general thing agreeable reading, yet people look for them in their regular places. The Beecher business was not refining nor agreeable in its sug gestions, yet every Christian in the | land read it and would read anew dose of it were it published to-morrow, j Newspaper publishers do not make newspapers for pleasure, nor do they | select any one style of news in pref erence to another. Whatsoever par ' takes of the character of news, obtains publicity through their columns. If j the newspaper gains circulation and ! holds it, this may bo taken as evi | deuce that the article answers the de ; maud. When we reach the age of ! refinement, which shall have no mur ; ders, nor base ball, nor horse racing, ' nor depravity, nor thieving, then we shall have papers to answer the de- I mand of that celestial season.

Tone*, The Blood v “Second." .1 LIVELY HU MOP FROM .1 oor- ERXMEXT CLERK. 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 at l(i cents slsßl 00 ; Six bushels corn per acre on 12 acres at $1 per bushel. . 72 00 Fodder. 7 20 $463 20 Less rent of land 115 80 $347 40 One mule and feed . $175 00 Tools, machinery and horses 20 00 Hire of two hands. . . 240 00 Use of house, board and wood 120 00 $555 00 J Loss $207 60 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 ' rated mass of hair, tobacco smoke, i confusion, conceit and boots.

[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. The Post-office Scale. —An enor mous amount of printed matter is weekly weighed in the newspaper and periodical department of the post office, which is situated in the first story, on the side opposite City Hull Park. The weighing is done by two 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 netic needle, and give perfect satis faction. The machines occupy very little room, and trucks loaded with the paper to be weighed are easily j driven upon the platforms. Wednesday is always the busiest j ! day of the week in this department of ! the post-office, the amount of mail i matter weighed yesterday .being not ! less than one hundred tons. —Xew 1 York Evening Post.

Mrs- Moulton has served a paper on the clerk of Plymouth church regarding her expulsion without any proper trial. She demands a council of the church, to judge between her nml Plymouth church. Henry C. Bowen says he does not propose to be driven from Plymouth church. mrs. moulton's letter. New York, November 18.— -Mrs. Emma C. Moulton has served a pa per addrssed to the members of Ply mouth church, on Thos. G. Shearman, 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.
