The leg sprouts out from the knee joint. The frame work of the new Presbyterian church at Gainesville is nearly complied. It will be a very hands woe structure. The work on tin- cotton factory is progressing finely. Many new building are going up in different partis of the city. Last Friday was a red letter day in the birtnrv of (Juitmun county. Fully 1,300 people gathcrtsl ut the Crews IlocuL, near Enou church, to participate in the annual picnic given at that place, and inch one seemed lent on making tho day a success. A bolt of lightning shattered two panes of glass from a window in James StnnnUindV house!, near Boston, and knocked a hole in a wash basin in the room, hut did not break the basin otherwise. This is a queer freak, as glass ir: a I ion-conductor, but the damage to the liasin was still more remarkable. I).

Mr. Pitts’ father was a comrade of Gen. Jackson and was in the famous battle of Orleans when Gen. I’ackeuhuni was de feated. The hull of the first boat for the Augusta comjiauy is nearly completed, and the calker* nave already begun work. It will tie but a short while, therefore, until this boat is launched and operations eoirimeneod on the second. The Woodward lioat, further down the hank, is also looming up, amt is rapidly taking shape. Some of the boys of Ainoricus have spent considerable time and cure in making col lections of bird eggs. It is suggested by the Jteconter that it would be a good idea for them to club together and fix up a nice col lection for the county exhibit ut the Pied mont and Stutc fuirs. It would make a very pretty and interesting feature. A wealthy mid eccentric widower, living near Americus, went to town several weeks ago. and gave an order for a very handsome monument, which is to lie placet! over his grave when he dies The stone was finished up as directed, and sent out to the home of the jrnrty ordering it the first of the week, a span- Icing left thereon for the date of his death when it lakes place. Near Richmond Tuesday, while J, W. Blockstono and Prank Harris were working on Covenant (colored) church, erecting a bell frame, the scaffolding gave way, pre cipitating the men a distance of ulniut twenty feet, breaking the thigh of one leg and back of Mr. lilaclistone, and seriously injuring Mr. Harris. Mr. Blackstone is se riously, if not fatally injured. The city government of Barnesvilie, nflcr chaining prisoners to trees, to iron sufi-s and other immovables for several years past, has at last rented an ice house in which to lock up disturbers of the peace. Prisoners on ice may be a good trick, but last week one who-' turbulent nunl was being eixiied in the ice house knocked a hol<> in tlie brick wall, and tho city is responsible for repairs. Prank Sinunons in passing Ben Russell's bouse in Madison couuty win provoked hv the latter’s dog running out at him, and, having his gun on his shoulder, shot the dog, from which the dog died. Mr. Huss-ll ran out from his house and shot at Mr. Sim mons Urns' tinns, tin lust shot taking effect. It was dark and not a good time for close shooting. Now it 1* said the attention of the grand Jury will bo cullisl to tho matter.

In the afternoon the ' 1 )Urt imposed a flue of $• 1 upon each of the attonievs. No serious damage was done to either combatant. Milledgeville Chronicle: A few mornings ago Mr Edward Carrington's attention was attracted to a noise in the yard among the poultry. He s's.-n discovered with the goose .i tall white bird. Being alarmed, the bird flew in a trie near the feme, from which it was shot in the nstk and killed It proved to be a eraue of the order grullm. It meas ured four and a half feet from tip to tip of wingx.nnd three feet,twenty-two inches,from the tip of bill to end of tail. It was the prettiest specimen of that bird we ever saw. and we have seat thousands of every vari ety of tlie order. XX’*- thought it might have been a pot of someone, and was on a tour of pleasure, hut it had no tags on it or other mark of personal ownership. It was doubtless on its way to a cooler climate than the marshes of the sea-coast, as these birds an* known to leave the low land in summer to cool o!T in the atmosphere of higher lati tudes. Tliis was too pretty a bird to die. Sunday morning the colored church, on the Ficiils plaic, at Red bone, Lee county, was densely crowded with sable worship pecs. The occasion was a protracted in*-e-t fng in which much interest was manifested. XX'nilt- the services were- going on a terrific st mu sprang up, the rain fell in torrents, mid tin- livid and frequent flashes of light ning. followed by the loud detonations of thunder, much alarmed tho con gregation. Munv of them were almost panic-stricken, and attempted to rush out of the building into tho blind mg storm, preferring to risk the danger of the elements rather than the interior of tho house. About 3-M0 o’clock, when the storm lial spent it* fury, u mule was discovered lying dead by the side of a tree to which it had lieen tied. No marks were found lijmn it, and it was conclud'd that it was shocked by lightning. It was the property of a ne gro woman living about five miles above the church. Lafayette Mrxaenger: “You can't kill a mule." This saying was demonstrated al most to a mathematical certainty near Center's shop no day last week. A colored Imy was plowing “goobers" for Mr. Center. Lb rile corner of tlie goober patch was an old well at least MU feet ik-ep covered with briais. In turning the mule slipped in and went to tho bottom. He took Ins position in a sitting posture and was the unwilling “monarch of all he surveyed’’until his ex cited owner summoned a posse to liis aid A rope was tied around the body of the mule, and he was drawn to the top of the Well. The rojie broke and tho mule again went to the other end of the well. A second attempt was successful The mule was safely landed on the outside of the well, and contrary to the expectation of his rescuers, leaped to his feet, and without giving the slightest expression of gratitude, com menced feeding on grass us though nothing hail liapi K-.nmi. The plow gear was demol ished and the old well was slightly dam aged. An attempt was made Thursday morning to wreck the passenger train on the eastern extension of the A. r and L., railroad duo at Americus at Hsio o’clock. The train was proceeding toward Americus at a lively rute, mid ns it rounded a curve out on the Bazley place, two miles from town. Engineer Kir ven saw tint olistructiou aliead and brought the train to a stop almost instantly. On investigation it was discovered that some rtend hml rolled a heavy log upon the rails and had also piled a lot of stumps, roots, rails, etc., beside it, mukinjj it a formidable affair 'for nn engine to strike ugainst. The ob struction wns placed at a point where the road runs through a deep cut, and had the keen eye of the engineer not detected ' it, a serious catastrophe would have certainly resulted A close search revealed the tracks of a man and small boy leading away from (he place, and it is evident that tlii'se two, whoever they may lie, either placed the obstruction there or else knew of irs presence. This is the third attempt that has been inado to wreck n train at this place, and the authorities of the rood will nmke every effort to hunt out tlie guilty parties. FLORIDA. Who says it isn’t cool in Palatka? A man was seen on the street Wednesday with an ulster on, all niuttled up round lus ears. Around Mt. Ploasiuit, Fla., thousands of IKiuuds of fodder are licing saved every day, and it is thought that corn will si'll at 'Joe. a bushel at gathering time. The sugar eane crop around Mt. Pleasant is very largo, and tho finest over known at this season. If nothing happens to it we will have something sweet to toll you about Dec. 1. Stephen Sewer, one of Pasco’s most pro gressive fruit growers, lius succeeded in fruiting Imrse-upples and several varieties of grain's, the black Hamburg, Aguam and Goethe among tho number. There has been some trouble lately U>- tween citizens of Taylor county and hunt ing visitors. One or two parties of the latter have been advised that it was desirable that they should leave the county. It is probable that ut tho next meeting of the Board of County Commissioners of Jef ferson, important action will bo tuken as regards the division of the county into commissioners', election and justices’ dis tricts. The Adjutant General has not yet deter mined positively. but the probabilities are that. Pablo Beach will lie selected as the place for the military encampment, and that uUmt September 1 will lie chosen as the time for holding it. Rev.

Dora and Gainslwiro, about two and a half miles from each, where connections can Is- had by rail to all pill its. Tiie people are Northern mostly and energetic. Tiny have anew school house, new Congregational church, J x i-t ofii.-e, lnerchntidise store, carriage manufactory, dressmaking establishment, hotel, etc. The people are hard at work on their groves, some of which are the finest to be seen, while hundreds of young groves are coming into bearing.

It shivered a small, but tall pine from top to bottom, jumped fifteen feet to Mr. Eubanks barlx-d wire fence and shat tered a post. skipped over five lengths of wire between posts until reaching tlie gate, partially shivering that and the jx>st on which it wus hanging. Gabriclla is five miles east of Winter Park, and six from Maitland, but the lutur is the distributing office for the mail, the Lake Howell office being on tho route from Maitland to Gabriclla through a very at tractive section of country. S. B. Myart, foreman of tlie Mossy Head section, shot a colored man, one of nis see tion hands, Thursday afternoon, about eight miles west of DeFuniak. The shooting was done with a Winchester rifle, and the negro was struck in tho shoulder. Myart claims the shooting was accidental; that he was aiming ut u knot on a crosstie, when the l-ullct glanced and struck the negro. Myart said he did not know the negro was any where about. The tialunce of tho section hands seem to think tlie shooting might have been intentional. Physicians say the negro will not die, but may lose his arm. D. P. Ingraham, who has spent tliis and .several former winters in South Florida en gaged iti geological researches, and who is connected with the Unib-d States Geologi cal Survey, left last Friday night for his home in Elmira, N. Y., to which pine*' Mrs. Ingraham has already gone. Mr. Ingra ham took off with him between thirty and forty boxes and barrels of specimens, be side* which lie has been shipping them ail the spring and summer. Last spring he made a trip to tho middle of the Everglades in a small skiff' boat, and brought back a great many valuable and interesting speci mens. Ho will return to Tampa next fall. The Argyle, Fla., correspondent of the News writes os follows: One of the most terrific storms that has evor passed through this section of the country began about, 13 o'clock Tuosluv night and continued till 10 o’clock Wednesday morning. An immense amount of damage lias been done to the fanning interests. Many small houses were razed to the ground. Tlie large turpentine orchards of Messrs. Ausloy & Cos. were so liadly damaged that it is rumored that they will lx; abandoned. This is a loss of several thousand dollars. Messrs. Ausley & Cos. also had a steam saw mill wrecked. Tele granhic communication is cut off on account of the wires being down. No loss of life is reported at this writing, although some narrow escapes were made from uudor fall ing houses mid timber. Anew feature has developed in tho case of Mrs. Runs, an Italian woman who wus arrested at Jacksonville several days ago at the instanctvof a colored man, with whom she had some trouble about the sale of a fruit stand. Tho woman went to Mayor Burbridge Thursday, and in tlie course of conversation, stated that on last Monday when Constable Stephens came to arrest her he told her if she would give him $3 50 he would see that she came out all right, and also that she got the fruit stand back again. Mile says she only had $3, but that she gave that to him and prom ised to get the balance. This slio did by borrowing $3 from Joseph Daiunto, an Italian tailor. Slio says she paid him tho $1 50, and that when they got to the court Constable Stephens gave half the lat ter sum to the Magist ral*-. Tliis was all be fore the trial of the case, and before ho had any right by law to collect anything from her. From Ihe woman’s statement of the case Mayor Burbridge says it looks very much like a case of blackmail, ami that lie intends to investigate it further, and, if lie flails it to be true, to prosecute the consta ble. Mrs. Rails states that Constable Ste phens knew she had the three small chil dren, one an iufant, notwithstanding his statement to the contrary. She says he was frequent ly at tho house and played with the children. She also suvs that Jus tice Bedford knew of the children, us Con stable Stephens told him. This is corroborated by a young mail who was present. They both say that, when she nsked to have her children with her in prison that the magistrate in n cruel manner told her to let her children stay home und take cam of themselves; that, if she took them to jail they would be sent to the poor house. One of these children was a nursiug infant only six weeks old. Mrs. Ruas left it to go down to the court-room with her husband, expecting to lie gone not more than an hour; ami she state 1 to Mayor Burliridge that she explained this as well as she oou id, and bogged to have the babe with her when she was taken to jail. 1 lor request was i efused, and when, about twelve hours afterwards, the infant w as looked up by humane people, it was nearly dead of starvation und neglect, and ha<l to be carefully watched all night in order to save its life, the mother in the meantime lying in Jail. History of the Cotton Plant. Prof. J. S. Xeicmnn, Altiltnma, in Ihr Auterirun AijriruUurint. The cotton plant is a child of the sun. Its nniurnl habitation is in tin* tropical regions of Asia, Africa and America, hut it lias ins'll acclimated and successfully cultivated as far north as tho thirty-sixth degree of north latitude. Itsniltivationcovcrsa very lurge port ion of our glolie. In the Eastern Hemisphere the range of its cultivation ex tends front Southern Europe on the north to the i'ape of Good Hope on the south. In tiic Western Hemisphere front Virginia to Bout hern Brazil. It Ims been most success fullv cultivated, however, between tho thir ti"tliand thirty fifth degree north latitude. Huiutmldt found it growing in Hie Andes, at nil elevation of nine thoii-tmd feet, and in M 'xleoat live thousand five hundred fivt. Boyle ie|sirts it cultivatisl at till elevation of four thou and feet in the Himalaya. Much elevations, however, are not favorable to its best and velopment. Metallically, cot ton belongs to the natural order Wu/rume. genus (,'os-i'pi/inu. Botanists differ us to Us proper classification into sjxs'ics; some enu merating as nmtiy as ten sjiecics, others seven, und others only tbits' as necessary to a dear discrimination 1s t ween the distinc tive characteristics recognizable after mak ing due allowance for uiffereiiew* resulting from soil ami diniatlc influences.

Tree cotton, not now cultivated f>r its fibre. This latl*. ris also known as O. retigiotum from the fact that it was held sacred by the Hindus. It was grown about the temples in India and sup plied the material fir the sacerdotal tripar tite thiea 1 of the Brahmins, the emblem of thoir trinity. The plant has dark green leaves, Mars handsome red-purple blosseiiis land produces silky cotton in small quunti- I ties. Attempts have been made bv hybrid j i/.ing this witli the more productive species l to increase its yield, but without success, j Its product is unknown to commerce. Tlie Barbadense is successfully and profit ably grown only under the influence of salt atmosphere and, consequently, its cultiva tion is confined to the coast and islands of the sea, whence its name sea island cotton. On account of its silky fineness and length of staple, it commands a price which justi fies its cultivation, notwithstanding flic fact that it produces not more titan half theyield of lint obtained from the upland or hirbo rrmn. which furnishes almost the entire commercial supply for the spindles and looms of the world. The history of tlie cotton plant antedates in its beginnings the commercial annals of the human family. India seems to have been the most ancient cotton growing coun try. For live centuries K-lore the Christian era her inhabitants were clothed In cotton goods of domestic manufacture from the fibre grown upon her own soil by lier own crude methods. It is said that “more than two thousand years Maori- Europe or Eng land had conceived the idea of applying modern industry to the manufacture of cot ton, India bad matured n system of hand spinning, weaving and dyeing which, dur ing that vast period, received no recorded improvement. The people, though remark able for their intelligence whilst Europe was in a state of barbarism, made n<> approxi mation to the mechanical operations of mod ern times, nor was the cultivation of cotton either improved or considerably extended ” Notwithstanding the proximity of China to India, it was not until the eleventh cen tury that the cotton plant became an object of common culture in China. The first mention made of cotton in tho records was two hundred years before the Christian era. From that, time down to tho seventh cen tury it is mentiouei not as an object of in dustry, hut one of interest and curiosity; an - ircu; nnt of the flower garden, the beauty of its flowers being celebrated in poetry, it is recorded in tlieir annals asn circumstance worthy of note, that the Emp -ror Ou-ti had a robe of cotton when he ascended tlie throne ill 503. In the eleventh century field culture of cotton commenced in China, but owing to the opposition of the people, especiilly those engaged in growing ami manufactur ing wool and flax, it was not until 1808 that tin-cultivation and manufacture of cotton were well established. Central and South America, and tlie West Indies, grew and manufactured cotton long before their discovery by Columbus, who found the plant under cultivation, and tho people using fabrics made from the staple At the conquest of Mexico by Cortes. in 1519, he found that the clothing of the Mex icans consisted principally of cotton goods: the natives o£ Yucatan presented him with cotton garments and Goths for coverings for his huts, while Montezuma presented him with “curtains, coverlets and relies of cotton, fine as silk, of rich and various dyes, interwoven with feather work, that rivaled tho delicacy of painting." The plant was successfully cultivated in Peru in the time of the Incas. in 1583. Specimens were also found in the ancient Peruvian tombs and taken to England at an early date for exhibition. Egypt seems not to have either cultivated cotton or used its fabrics at a very early date, since the cloths in which tho mummies were enveloped were of flix instead of cot ton. Indeed it appears that those nations which were early celebrated for their manu facture of fine linen were slow to substitute the cott >n for the flax. Herodotus mentions cotton fabrics 450 B. C., ands leaks of tre*-s in India “bearing as their fiui il -eees more de icite and beauti ful than those of sheep.” Tlie cotton fabrics of tho Hindoos have been excelled in firm ness and exc -ileiicp only by tlie productions of the most perfect machines of modern times. The city of Calicut, on th© western coast, gave its name to the fabric known ns calico. Tayernice describes some of their goods as “so fine that you i-ou’d hardly feel them ill your hand, end tlie thread, when spun, is hardly discernible.’ The famous muslins of Dacca have been, on account, of thoir fineness, designated as “wel>s of woven wind.” It is said that mus lins made in Bengal are so line that “when spread upon the grass and covered with dow they are not disrerniblo.” - Spain was first of the European States to grow cotton. It wan introduced hero by the Moors in the tenth cciitm v. Tho first cot ton wns planted in the 1 1 luted States in hi'.'i. “Carroll's Historical Collections of South Carolina” mention the growth of the cotton plant in that province in RitSb. In 173d it was plant' and in gardens in Talbot county, Md., latitude thirty-nine north. At the commencement of tho revolutionary war Gen. Dtdagall was said to have had thirty acres planted in cotton near Savannah, Ga. It is stated that in 1748, among the exports of Charleston, S. C., were seven liogs of cotton wool, valued at. three pounds eleven shillings amt five piuiee a bag. Another small shipment wns made in 1754, and in 1770 three more, amounting to ten liales. In 17S-1 eight bales shipped to England were seized on the ground tliat so much cotton could not be produced in tho Uni tel States. The first sea island cotton was grown on the ooast of Georgia in 17iSG, and its export ation commenced in 17S, by Alexander Missel, of St. Simons Island. In 17111 the cotton crop of the United States was two million pounds, of which three-fourths was grown in South Carolina and one-fourth in Georgia. Ten years l iter, ISOI, forty-eight million islands were produced—twenty million jssunds of which was exported. The United Stub's have long since ox eelled all other countries in the quantity and quality of the cotton produced. India ranks next, in importance in its supply of cotton,to th l ' United States, hut its fibre is far inferior to the American. The other cotton producing countries worthy of men tion mo the Earl Indies, Egypt, Brazil, tho West Indies and Guinea.
