Approved October 3. 1870. Pluckt Girls. — v ederal troops hatfe been arresting sundry citizens in the neighbor hood of Cfoss Plains, Ala , of late, charging them with having hung Luke and some negroes. The Rome (Ga.) Daily gives the following account of how two brave girls backed out a couple of bayonets : When they went to the residence of Maj. Bailey, in Cross Plains, to effect his arrest, it being night, two of his sisters, bearing their approach, hastily arose, and arming themselves with a pistol each, met the sol diers at the door, and demanded their busi ness at their house at that hour of the night. They were informed that they came to arrest Major Bailey The courageous sisters notified them that their brother had been guilty of no crime subjecting h tn, to arrest by soldiers, and at night, and before they could take him they would have to take the contents of the pistols, which they exhibited, but that he would go down to Pancona the next morning and surrender himself. The soldiers declined the engage ment with these true and noble hearted women, and returned to their quarters Major Bailey surrendered himself the next morning, and is now a prisoner. How to Carry an Election.— The Chronicle and Sentinel says: Mr. Attorney General Akerman saw no reason whv the infamous electiou bill should not become law. Ilis bill placed the ballot-box in the hands of Bullock’s commissioners lor three days, without accountability. In South Carolina, Winchester Rifle Scott is more prudent. lie appoi ts Radical candidates, Comm sgiuuers of election, and gives them the exclusive control of th© ballot boxes for ten days, and guard the commissioners by Winchester Rifle shooters Scott adopted the Napoleonic idea of a plebiscitum, and makes his election sure Why is a m *.n’s trade-mark like a cer tain leaefia-g Prussian ? Because it is a M bi*” mark. (The author of the above leaves a wife and ten small children.) Emigration to the Southern States.— Colonel Blanton Duncan has recently writ ten a letter to Governor J. W. Stevenson, of Kentucky, in reference to inviting emi gration to the Southern States. Colonel Duncan, who is now in the England as the chairman of the committee, appointed to present the advantages of the S>uth to capitalists, says that the legislatures have not provided sufficient means to promote the transportation of foreign laborers to this country, and to furnish them with employ ment immediately on their arrival. 110 also says that the plan adopted by the Brit sh Government to secure emigration to its own colonies, offers greater inducements than these presented by the Southern State!. The organizations now at Work in England for the colonies, send all kinds of emigrants fice and provide for them tern poraiy shelter and sustenance until situa tions can be obtained. At any time within a month after arrival a free passage is given on any of the railroads to such points as the emigrants desire to locate on. To secure tull protection to females, all single women are placed under the charge ot a matron, both on the voyage and after their arrival. The emigrant**; except those who go out as domestics, sign an engagement to reimonrse the passage m >ney, SSO, to the Governin' nt within two years. On the repayment of this sum, the emigrant receives 40 acres for each grown person, ami 30 acres fir each child between one and twelve years of age. Those who eh'ose to pay S2O in ad vance. sign an agreement to return SOO in a year’s time and receive the same allot ments of land. Government also assures emigrants of speedy employment in vari ous callings, mechanics and skilled laborers at wages of $2 to $3 a day in gold ; shep herds $125 to S2OO a year, with rations ; grooms S2OO to $250 ; farm servants $125 to $150; servant maids from SIOO to S2OO. The weekly rations are 8 pounds of flour, 12 pounds of beef, 2 pounds of sugar, and a quarter <>f a pound of tea for a man and his wife, and half the above to a single person. Col. Duncan advises that the Legislature of Kentucky should adopt a similar plan.— Ex. Going Home with their Cotton. —Some of our c untry friends are disgusted at the price of this week, and returned home with their wagons loaded with the staple.— Griffin Middle Georgian. The Macon Telegraph copies the above, and accompanies it with the following ap propriate remarks : That is not surprising, inasmuch as the present price of cotton leaves the planter nothing hut a loss to show for his labor. Let us see: The hire of a hand at $lO per month and provisions can hardly beset down at less than SIBO. The wear and tear of a mule, his harness and subsistence will be low at SIOO more, and we shall be under the mark in cost of ploughs and plantation utensils at $lO -arid all this will foot $290 for the year. Now, four bales of cotton, 500 pounds to the hand, is a good average' product in Georgia, and these at thirteen cents will foot up $240 and leave the plant er minus SSO, and the wear and tear of his place and interest on investment. We say nothing about guano, because we have taken an old schedule product. We have no doubt the cotton crop of 1870 involves a very heavy money loss to the planter, in dependent of wear and tear and interest on investment. No wonder they are all dis satisfied ’Cotton planting (as mere cotton planting) may now he considered as a defunct busi ness It must be combined with farm products—meat, corn, forage, small grains, stock, etc., and cotton at the fag end of all —to represent, in its totality, the profits of the farm. It is true cotton will probably react next spring, in season to delude some planters predestinated to destruction and misery i> to still further attempts to toddle on in the old fashion on Western corn and nif>at.

In cases of bronchitis, liberal pinches of snuff are strongly recommended—a remedy which doctors themselves use when recovering from a common cold to hasten their restora tion. Tobacco is probably not beneficial to some people, but that it is the dem *n the anti-tobacco men try to make it out, is pure nonsense. The Germans, aho are the greatest smoking people in the world, would not be the robs-t people they are if smoking was as deleterious as represented. Louisville has one ot ‘them tellers,’ call ed a base ball player, who runs the bases s » rudidly that nothing is seen or heard of him after the ball is struck until he yells ‘score' at the home base.
