A WORD OF ADVICE TO. PLANTERS.
Asa general rule it will be found safest for the
planter to sell bis crop as soon os it can be gath
• red and got to market. Fora term of years the
plan will lie found more advantageous than
the gambling system of waiting for a rise
the market, wlrfcli oftener falls than rises af
ter the opening of the season.
There, arc, however, exceptions to this
rule, but to allow them to control we should
be very sure of our ground. We think one
may be made with safety with the present
cotton crop. The inducements to realize,
growing out of the varied and pressing wants
of not only planters but every other class
arc, perhaps, greater than even before. On
the other hand, the anxiety of buyers to sec
the crop thrown upon the market, is unusual
To some extent onr planters will l>e com
pellcd to yield to these influences. They
have contracted debts to cany on their busi
ness that are due—they need bagging, rope,
salt and iron—their laborers, in many cases,
are to be paid—their children are to be sent
to school, and part of tbc money is required
in advance—these and similar demands can
not well be postponed, and tbc planter will
be compelled to dispose of a part of his crop
in order to meet them. But, in our judg
ment, ho should go no fartberfor the present
We think the present crop will do to gamble
upon. That it will be short below all North
era and European calculations, we hare uot.
a doubt, and wc would not be swindled out
of our bard earnings by the millionaires of
Manchester and Lowell. The crops in India,
Egypt, und everywhere, are short this year,
is weil as >n the United States, and we wculd
at least wait until the competition between
Manchester and Lowell shall be fully cstab
lislicd. It is usual for the former to keep out
of the market until the latter is supplied, but
this year we have not enough for both, and
they should be made to pay for it when they
get it. There is no reason why the present
crop should not bring forty cents per pound,
and even more, and we believe it will do it,
provided the necessities of the planters do
not force them into the market early.
'S>C*i.i.F.D) Georgia Radicals.—It
^ilid fact in philosophy that the mind,
.i,» t<><> long and exclusively upon one
Ions its natural balance and becomes
it director in ihc affairs of life. For
time we lmve been accustomed to regard
r.P.w. Maynard, Hamilton, Ashburn,
liars of their class, ns a band of knaves,
on mischief, and whose proper place

i- rm-ntlv changed our opinion. If unv-
v r.i" read the late speeches of Brownlow

. i'-Ic ami silly letter nnd accompanying

judge of a man's mental condition
' li :t lie says and docs.

1 immediately take out a writ of He
‘ iifvirendo, and have these travelling
•••-I fanatics consigned to a place of safe
<«ener;il Cirunt Given up by the
Radical#.
The Radicals have giveu up Grant in dis
gust. They could tolerate his being present
when the President received the delegates
from the Philadelphia Convention, but they
urge that there was co excuse for his a^coni
panying tlic President on his late Chicago
tour. Wendell Phillips, in an article in 'the
last Anti-Slavery Standard, refers to the pos
sibility of a “roup d'etat,'' or a collision be
tween the President and Congress, and thus
indicates that he would side with the Presi
dent. He says:
“Should any violent attack be made on
Congress and be successful, it would be the
commencement of military despotism; if re
sisted, it would be a civil war. In this 1 alter
emergency, we have no hope of aid from
General Grant. His voluntary presence at
I the public interview of these traitors, his os
tentatious presentation of himself in the dem
agogue's retinue during this -Western tour
show that either the same pitiable weakness
which has made him lend his name to the
very questionable cotton speculations in the
South, not from greed of money, but to
oblige friends—the same easy subserviency
which made him submit to the farce of a
Southern express trip, merely to bolster up
with liis name a wicked fraud—or
they show a heart deliberately ready to be
tray bis country. This is no bard judgment.
Even if Grant be, as some of liis near friends
assert, so ignorant outside ot a camp “that lie
would not bo fit to sit on a grand jury/’ still
his intercourse with leading members of Con
gress enables him to understand well enough
the meaning which tlic country puts, and
which the President means it shall put, on his
.present attitude. lie is deliberately strength
ening bis treasonable movement. In any con
flict between the Executive and Congress, be
will be found where all mere soldiers—rant
ing cut-throats—have always been found:
holding up the hands of despotism.”

Bleeding erom the Nose.—Some two
years ago, while going-down Broadway, N.
York, blood commenced dripping from my
nose quite rapidly. I stepped aside and ap
plied my handkcichiet intending to apply to
the nearest hotel, when a gentleman accosted
me, saying, “Just put a piece of paper in
your mouth, chew it rapidly, and it will stop
your nose bleeding.’' Thanking him rather
doubtfully, I did as lie suggested, and tbc
flow of blood ceased almost immediately. I
have seen the remedy tried since quite fre
quently, and with success always. Doubt
less any substance would answer^ the same
purpose as well as paper, the stoppage of the
How of blood being caused by the rapid mo
tion of tbc jaws, and the contraction of the
muscles connecting tbc jaws and nose.— Cor.

Stanton took so much pains to dispose of so
that no man should ever know tlic spot
where it was buried, is reported to he in Eu
rope. The story is that the man whom
‘•Boston Corbett'’ so lierocially shot, and
whoso body Stanton refused to exhibit to
any one that ever saw Booth, was a poor
wretch hired by the assassins to personate
Booth, in order to facilitate the escape of the
latter. Whether there be or he not any truth
in this story, it will never cease to be a sus
picious circumstance conucctcd with tlic fate
of Wilkes Booth, that Stanton refused to de
liver the body that was brought up from Vir

upon it.

Lively Times in Texas.
Editor 3IcGarv. of the Brenham, Texas,
Banner, saw one Whann, a teacher of a negro
school, vapouring about the streets of Bren-
ham with his dusky pupils in procession be
hind him, singing offensive songs, and alto
gether misbehaving himself and making his
little kinky flock do likewise in a highly im
proper and riot-breeding manner. Dipping
his pen in gall. Brother 3IcG. proceeded in his
next issue to dissect Wbann and his doing3
in such merciless fashion that tho official world
of Brenham was stirred to the very core of its
heart. Down came the Bureau man upon the
editor with a fine of $200, without even the
shadow of a trial or pretence of examination.
Editor McG. being a law abiding man, turned
to the statutes and discovering, in his quaint
phrase, that he was “neither a 1'rcedman, refu
gee, or abandoned lands,” refused to pay the
money, and was forthwithliauled off to a filthy
jail. Here, for three mortal weeks, he lan
guished in unlawful duress, suffering doubt
less much in body, but keeping up a stout
heart against the world, the flesh, and the
devil—Whann, “this Bureau," and its man.
At length, thanks to Gov. Throckmorton, tho
prison doors flew open and'the prisoner step

Cleveland, Sept. 19.—The Soldiers’ and
Sailors’ Convention adjourned last night.—
General Gordon Granger was President.
Resolutions were adopted by acclamation,
endorsing the Philadelphia Convention of
August 14th, and declaring the object of the
soldiers in taking up arms to suppress the
late rebellion, was to defend and maintain
the supremacy of the Constitution, and to
preserve the Union with all its dignity and
equality, and the rights of the several States
unimpaired, and not in any spirit of oppres
sion or for any purpose of conquest and sub
jugation ; and that whenever there shall be
any armed resistance to the lawfully consti
tuted authorities of our National Union,
either in the South or in (he North, or in the
East or in the West, they will take up arms
to maintain the Union.
A despatch from Memphis, signed by Gen
eral Forrest and other ex-Confederate offi
cers, was read, expressing their sympathy
with the purposes of the Convention, and
declaring that Confederate soldiers arc en
tirely willing to leave the determination ot
their rights, as citizens and as States of the
United States, to the soldiers of the Union,

Washington, Sept. 16,1866.
Owing to the very enthusiastic ovation ex
tended to the President and attendants in
Baltimore by Gov. Swann and the Conserva
tives, as an offset to the disreputable conduct
ot the municipal cabal of that city, the train
conveying the distinguished tourists, instead
of reaching here at the appointed hour of
five, did not arrive until seven o’clock. The
demonstrations of welcome and respect wc re
unbounded by the immense mass who had
congregated in the neighborhood of the de
pot, Arrangements by the several military
and civil associations were upon the most ex
tensive scale, and, in conjunction with thou
sands of citizens, who were out, the welcome
was, in point of enthusiasm, grandeur and
proportions, far beyond what was anticipa
ted. Early in the day the several Executive
departments, the prominent hotels, and many
private edifices were draped in the National
banners, bearing suitable inscriptions. The
departments, Government printing and bind
ing establishments, arsenal and Navy Yard all
ceased operations at 1 o'clock, allowing the
employes opportunities to particiaate in the
“ welcome home ” reception.
Besides two regiments of regular infantry,
a command of cavalry and the Maripe forces
stationed here, the employes of the Navy
Yard and Arsenal, the several Ward Associa
tions, the Johnson Departmental Clubs, the
Municipal authorities, the Government and
city steam Fire departments, the association
of old defenders, and various other club?, all
united in swelling the enthusiastic crowd as
sembled to do honor to the Chief Magistrate,
As the President, in an open carriage, with
the imposing escort, proceeded along Penn
sylvania Avenue, en route to the Executive
Mansion, thousands of both males and females
lined the sidewalks, manifesting by the wav
ing of handkerchiefs by the ladies and hur
ras by the sterner sex, the admiration for the
man, upon whom the country relics to restore
order out of chaos.
Arriving at the White House, the Prcsi
dent in response to the vociferous deniant^ of
the immense populace, made a short speech
replete with patriotic sentiment and earnest
zeal in behalf of the Constitution and a re
stored Union. Notwithstanding the im
mense throng, nothing transpired to mar the
harmonious proceedings, and all dispersed
to tlieir homes more than ever impressed with
the necessity of strengthening the arm of the
administration in the stupendous task of con
stitutional reconstruction.
Secretary Seward is quite ill to day, though
supposed by his physicians to he recuperat
ing. His malady was of so distressing and
threatening a character as to compel him to
leave the party and reach home rapidly for
medical treatment. He arrived at noon yes
terday several hours in advance of the Presi
dent, and was so prostrated as to be required
to he conveyed on a stretcher from the cars
to a carriage.
A meeting of the heads of the several bu
reaus of the departments was held yesterday
to nrrange for calling upon the President,
and express to him their assurances of satis
faction at his safe return to the seat of Gov
ernment. A committee was appointed to con-
fcrjwith his Excellency, and ascertain when it
would suit him to receive them.
The Radical clique manifests very ecstatic
delight at the supposed adhesion of the New

The Planting Interest Along
thing, a world of fiery exultation, and under
{this came some red-hot journalistic shot, as
follows:
“Brilliant victory! Termination of the
conflict 1 Tho Bureau surrenders 11! The
Press victorious! The Banner still waves 1”
Then, subsiding a little, our sturdy Lone
Star brother gives a brief history of his trials,
expresses his gratitude to those instrumental
in his liberation, and winds up as follows:
“The civil law again asserts its suprenacy
—the citizen once more breathes an atmos
phere of liberty, and our right to edit a free
and independent paper is fully vindicated.”
“The ‘Brenham Americans’ are at the door.
Sweet, melodious, eloquent music breaks up
on the stillness of the chamber; so turning
Craig and bis Bureau over to their natural
reversionary proprietors, the Imps of Dark
ness. we will close the chapter, and clasp
hands with the kind friends from whom, for
three weeks past, we have been separated by
Federal guards and the thick walls of a
loathsome jail.”
Now mark the sequel. Tho Bureau in
Texas is not to be forbidden this pleasant
pastime of discretionary fine with impunity.
At two o'clock, on the morning of the eighth
of the present month, the town of Brenham
was fired and eighty-seven thousand dollars’
worth ot property destroyed. Tho Banner
—alas 1 for two peace proclamations and a
restored “civil authority”—was burned out
entirely, not so much as a file of its issue es
caping the flames. More than this, a private
gathering of citizens for social festivity was
broken in upon, and peaceful men beaten with
slung-shots and bludgeons. Retaliation, as
those who know Texans may imagine, was
not long wanting, and the attacking party
was driven off in disorder with one of its
party slain. Then came re-inforcementa to
the rioters and a saturnalia of theft and ar
son. Brenham is in ashes but the bureau is
avenged.—Aug. Con.
Iinportaut to Planters.
The attention of the planters of this State
and others who have entered into contracts
with freedmen is invited to the following
orders:
Bureau of Freedmen & Abaxd’d Lands,
Office Ass’t Com. State of Georgia,
Augusta, Ga., July 17,1866.
Circular No. 8.
1. Numerous well authenticated reports
from officers and agents of the Bureau in dif
ferent parts ot the State have been received
at this place, setting forth that now the crops
are nearly ready to lay by, nnd the immediate
demand for labor has, to some extent, ceased
planters, in some instances, are driving off
freed people employed by them, and refusing
to pay for their labor. Sometimes this is
done openly, but generally by purposely
quarreling with the freed people—threaten
ing them with violence if they remain,
and then because of their leaving the planta
tion, claiming that they have violated their
contracts and forfeited their wages. If this
unjust and dishonest conduct is persisted in,
the State will be filled witli unemployed freed
people, without means of subsistnece, who
must live by theft or be supported by the
Government. Therefore, persons employing
freed people are forbiden to discharge then*
without payment, unless they shall first show
sufficient cause, and obtain the consent of an
officer or agent of this Bureau.
2. Military commanders in this State will
assist the officers aud agents of the Bureau to
enfqrce the provisions of this Circular.

Coast.—A trip to the Sea Island and rice
plantations on the coast is redundant with
interest. This section was designed by nature
to be tlic garden of the country, and though
it has suffered greatly by the late war, yet
the bow of promise is still visible in the hori
zon. Few of the plantations escaped some
damage from the soldiers, but the proprietors
have to a man ignored the post, and are de
termined to make a future. Tiie Sea Islands
and coast contiguous once more boast the
presence of their kingly staple. Although
only a portion of these lands arc now culti
rated, the progress that has been made is
great when the chaos of the past is consider
ed, and with each successive year new acres
will be planted and others reclaimed, until
our positive success under the new regime
will be no myth. No country in the world has
produced cotton to compare with the Ameri
can staple, and with that knowledge before us
there is “no such word as fail.” Now that the
negro is reduced to the position of a hireling,
labor-saving machines will be used, the lands
and the crops be improved, and the per cent-
age on the investment be far greater than in
the past. Revolutions accomplish wondcir,
and in spite of the tax cotton will regain the
supremacy. The comparison between this
and last year’s crop is sufficient to prove the
truth ot this prophecy.
The rice planting has been conducted un
der greater disadvantages, but the result is
the same. Wherever energy has been dis
played all obstacles have disappeared. There
s much drudgery requisite to achieve these
ends, but it is time well applied, and the
ablest financiers say that “time is money.”—
As a provision crop, rice has always com
manded considerable attention, and what is
more to the point, a good price. The pres
ent crop, though small, is only a harbinger of
the good things to come. The planters have
their future in their own hands, and their
prestige is already established; the country
need fear no evil under such management—
Their motto is Excelsior, and tho good which
they seek is certain success.—Charletton Dai

Two Men Carried over Niagara Falls.
—Two men, while attempting to cross the
river just above Niagara Falls yesterday af
ternoon, (Sept l_3th,l had their boat struck
by a squall, forcing it into the rapids and
over the falls. The men were Mr. Cooper,
said to be postmaster at Chippewa, and the
other a ferryman.
A City of Rowdies.—The city of Steuben
ville, Ohio, from all accounts, should have a
premium for tho good order and decency of
its citizens. We append an account of the
President's late visit to that place:
Crowds hnd assembled at the depot, and
the party was received with immense enthusi
asm. The escort was composed of the mili
tary, tlic fireman and trade associations. All
along the route the buildings were draped in
national colors, and magnificent pyrotechnic,
displays were made. The President arrived
at the hotel about 8 o'clock, and after repeat
ed calls, proceeded to the balcony and at
tempted to make a speech.
THE PRESIDENT DOES NOT MAKE A SPEECH.
There were at least fifteen thousand per
sons present, and immediately after he com
menced to address them they set up unearth
ly veils and groans, mingled with cries ot
“Grant, Grant,” “Farm-rut, Farragut,” “shut
up,” “go on,” “go to hell,” “dry up,” “put
him out,” “New Orleans,” “Brownlow,” “Se
ward,” and the like. The President made
several attempts to continue his remarks, but
it was evident that the crowd had determin
ed to annoy him and he was ultimately com
pelled to retire. Gen. Grant and Farragut
having retired in disgust some time before.
The crowd kept up tlieir hooting and yelling
until nearly midnight. About 10 o’clock
Gen. Grant attempted to address the crowd,
but it would not listen to him, and he speedily
retired. A grand banquet came off at the
St Charles Hotel at 9 P. 31.
Some of its Effects.—A correspondent
writes from Baltimore, as follows: The recent
conduct of the Radical officials upon the vif-
it of the President to Philadelphia, is at this
time receiving its just reward in the positive
refusal of Southern merchants to go there for
their supplies. An instance was to-day fur
nished of this fact, by the return to Balti
more of a number of merchants ol South
Carolina, representing a capital of one hun
dred thousand dollars, who’ liad intended to
purchase there, but were deterred from doing
so by the disgraceful and dastardly action of
the municipal authorities, when the city was
honored by the Chief 3Iflgistrate. This
threw quite a large share of cash into our
merchants’ hands, and it is hoped that they
will improve such and similar circumstan
ces.
Presents to 3Iadame Ristori.—Since her
arrival in the city 3Iadnme Bistori lias been
deluged with presents and gifts of all kinds.
Nostrums for the hair, dentifrices for the
teeth, powder for the complexion, essences,
and all manner of compounds have been
poured upon her. Floral tributes, bouquets,
nosegays, baskets of flowers, with inscrip
tions in French and Italian, specimens of live
milliners and dressmakers’ art, nnd last, but
not least, a grand piano has been sent to her
by interested parties who wished to associate
tlieir names with that of the great tragic ge
nius.—World.
