TRADE AND SO ON.
The indications seem to be fair , for a
reasonably, active and satisfactory trade for
Fall and Winter. . We shall have short crops,
but good prices and the returns to the plant
er will average much better than last year.—
Then, he had a heavy score of high wages to
meet—besides large indebtedness for bread
and meat bought at extravagant prices.—
This year his debts for labor and supplies
are much lighter, and cotton prices are bet
ter. Last year, on this clay, middling cot
ton netted the planter thirteen cents. To
day, it will nett him twenty-four, with, say,
a third lighter product. Take a hundred
bale planter on this showing and his gross
receipts would be eight thousand dollars this
year against six thousand five hundred last
year, with a much lighter indebtedness to
face.
The people are, therefore, in better con
dition to trade, and there is no earthly doubt
that their necessities demand trade. The
people of the South, with very few excep
tions, may be said to have been living from
hand to mouth since the war. Few houses
are'properly supplied with the comforts and
conveniences which would be there if the
proprietor had been in easier circumstances.
Furniture, carpets and table-ware are scant
and shaby, and wardrobes are ill-supplied.—
Plantation tools and appliances all need im
provement and change. There is so much in
fact, to be bought, that one is puzzled where
to begin, and hence it needs only the ability
to buy on the part of the people to set on foot
a lively trade.
Upon the part of merchants and traders,
the condition is more healthy. There are
probably only a little more than one-half the
number of trading establishments in Macon
which existed two years ago. Distrusting
agriculture and taking into account only the
necessities for trade, a rage of merchandizing
spraug up which soon spent itself in vain ef
forts to do business without customers. There
can be no sound and prosperous trade with
out a prosperous agriculture. Town interests,
except those few which flourish on the mis
fortunes of the people, are dependent entirely
on country interests. Country interests are
beginning to improve now, and town interests
will follow suit.
No man need ask a better business than
cotton-growing at existing prices, and we
think the future opens brilliantly to the enter
prising Southern farmer. We had rather take
his chances for prosperity than those of any
other class, and we look forward with strong
confidence to a healthy and steady growth of
the great Southern agricultural interest.
But to return; our comparatively few mer
chants have, in general, bought very closely
and moderately. The stocks are small and
well selected; but the safe error has been
committed of buying too lightly. Stocks will
have to be duplicated. There are, and will be,
plenty of goods—never fear—and prices are,
and will be, low. Competition in Macon trade
is very sharp and active. Our advertising
columns are a perfect map of the active busi
ness of the city, and with this chart in hand
the customer can hardly go amiss. Every en
terprising house in Macon is so fully and con
stantly represented in these columns that our
own modicum of space is, in fact, often re
duced to very cramped dimensions.

Grant's Position of Negro Suffrage is
matter of real or affected doubt by some of
: Northern papers. The Round Table
mnenting upon the vista of difficulties and
-rifles now opening to the view of the
tuiry in the political operation of the Re-
anruction acts, says:
Seeping in view these reflections, and ac-
■wledging that Gen. Grant’s chances of
iction are apparently on the increase, we
re heard with satisfaction the report that
it officer is opposed to negro suffrage, or,
tier, that he favors the relegation of the
festion in all cases to the States themselves,
provided by the orignial Constitution.—

i may be permitted to repeat what we have
ten said before, that we care only for what
emsto us to be for the good of the whole

puted to him would put the national fa

sort that, in case of election, General Grant

th the New York Herald, a journal whose
ttmentsand prognostications are often bit-
!y abused and derided, but justified by
usts in the sequel. Our cotemporary may,
riiaps, be misinformed; but assuredly it

TOUCH,
Gretna, La., Fired Dy Negroes; Two Square*
laid In A sties.
From the Ntw Orleans Timet, Sept. Tith.]
Some two weeks since, a negro named
Sandy Packer, a slave formerly belonging to
Air. P. V. Labarre, made a political speech
at Gretna. In that speech, which was filled
with menaces. Packer stated that the only
way for the Radicals to hope to succeed in
carrying the election by the ballot-box, was
to apply the torch. We do not know how
close may be the connection between this in
famous threat and the fire that took place at
Gretna yesterday morning. We report the
menace of Packer, and allow our readers to
form their own judgment.
Saturday moring at about 1 o’clock, a lady
who happened to be up 6aw from her window
a negro with a lighted torch in his hand,
standing upon the roof of an unoccupied
house. She gave the alarm, but no one re
sponded at the time. About half an hour
hour after this, the alarm of fire was given by
the ringing of the bells of the Gretna and of
the ferryboat.
Tbe citizens, on rushing to the spot, found
two houses burning. From the brief space of
time which had intervened from the first
alarm, it was supposed that the houses had
been saturated with oil or some other com
bustible material. Although every exertion
wa3 made, and a reinforcement of Jefferson
Fire Company No. 22, and two companies
from Algier, had reached the spot, all efforts
were unavailing, and the flames ran from
house through two entire blocks on each side
of the street.
The citizens called upon the negroes to as
sist^ in removing the furniture. Some of them
refused, but they were compelled by the cit
izens to work.
The houses burnt were on First street, in
the principal part of the town. Beginning
on First street, the flames run down Lafayette
avenue. Out of the entire two squares, but
two houses were saved. The value of the
property destroyed is estimated at about
$25 000.
The Spanish Revolution in Cuba.—
Havana dates to the 26th say the intelligence
of the progress of the Spanish revolution
was furnished officially by Minister Concha
to the Captain General, who had furnished
the favorable dispatches to the city press for
publication, something never done before.
Other dispatches, supposed to be not so
favorable, were suppressed. Aluch dissatis
faction is reported to exist among the Spanish
navy officers at Havana.
An Impartial Witness.—The Washing
ton correspondent of the Baltimore Sun
writes:
Alaj. Gen. Howard delivered a lecture in
the Congregational Church, giving his ob
servations during a late tour through the
South. His remarks were apparently unpre
judiced, and not ca’culated to gi ve much
comfort to the Radicals. He stated candidly
that the disturbances were not confined to
one party, but that both classes were to
blame. Hs admitted, also, that there w&3 a
strong Democratic sentiment among the ne
groes and he found many Seymour and Blair
clubs of colored men. These remarks were
incidental, his main topic being the social,
religious and educational condition of the
negro.
Gen. Howar- can hardly be called an '■'im
partial witness,-' but certainly he ought to be
a good one against the negroes.
Great progress has been made this season
on the improvements for the harbors of
Buffalo and Dunkirk. The works at the en
trance of Buffalo harbor will be completed
this month. Ice has formed. The work on the
Harbor of Refuge will be commenced. Cribs
will be laid on the ice, ballasted and sunk
on a fine, and by Spring the Harbor of
Refuge will be in a condition to afford vessels
entenug a safe harbor.
More stories of great gold discoveries in Mon
tana are started to secure a rush of emigrants and
the rapid safe of claims.
Colored State Convention.
Tuesday at 12 o’clock, the Colored Conven
tion, called by the colored men-expelled from
the Legislature, met in the City Hall.
H. M. Turner, the Fresideut of the Associa
tion, who issued, the call for this assemblage,
arose, called the house to order and requested
the Secretary, James Porter, to read the call for
the Convention as it had been published.
This done, J. M. Simps moved that Hon. H.
M. Turner act aB temporary Chairman, which
motion was carried. He again moved that Hon.
James Porter act as Secretary, which prevailed.
Rev. N. L. Houston was then requested by the
Chairman to invoke divine sanction upon their
proceedings, which he did in a most impressive
and eloquent manner.
Mr. Simms moved for a Committee of seven
on Credentials, which passed.
A motion was then offered that the Conven
tion adjourn till 2 o’clock p. si., to give the dele
gates time to report to the Committee.
Pending the adoption of this resolution, the
Chairman stated that while be was glad to see
a large number of visitors, he hoped they would
keep the best of order. They were there to dis
charge a duty, that no honest man, white or col
ored, could object to. He was willing for the
world to hear and see everything said jr done.
The Convention then adjourned till three
o’clock, p. h.
AFTERSOON SESSION.
The Convention met as per adjournment.
The Committee on Credentials reported eighty-
two counties represented, by one hundred and
tbirty-8ix delegates and stated that they had
received a large number of letters from all parts
of the State, from persons who had been elected
to come, but were afraid of their lives being
taken if they came and went back. They also
reported that from letters received, the colored
people were aroused all over tbe State.
J. M. Simms moved that a committee of
seven be appointed to nominate officers for
permanent organization, which passed.
While the committee was out selecting their
officers, Ben. Robert Crnmly was loudly called
for, he came forward and spoke at some length
about the Camilla riot. M. H. Bently followed
until the committee returned, when he gave
way for them to report. H. M. Turner was
elected permanent President, J. M. Simms, J.
T. Costin and Phillip Joiner, Vico Presidents,
James Porter and George Wallace, Secretaries,
and some others as door keepers and messengers.
The President, H. M. Turner, delivered, after
his election, an address, thanking the Conven
tion for the honor conferred upon him, and
pitched into the Legislature most bitterly. He
regards the Legislature illegal, revolutionary in
its character, and declares he will break it up.
Mr. Turner i3 certainly mad for once at the
Georgia Legislature.
On motion made and carried the following
committees were appointed:
A committee on memorializing the United
States Congress.
A committee on address to the people of
Georgia.
A committee on resolutions.
A committee on Snances.
A committee on murders and outrages.
A committee to advise as to whether the col
ored people can vote or not at the coming elec
tion, free from molestation or harm.
After some other arrangements were made for
the business of to-day, the meeting adjourned to
meet this morning at 10 o’clock.
The foregoing proceedings were furnished at
our request, as no spectators er outsiders were
admitted to the Hall in the forenoon, and in the
afternoon it was so crowded that we could get
nowhere near the platform to hear what was
going on: and that we might not misrepresent
or misconstrue anything said or done, we asked
the President of the Convention to authorize his
Secretary to furnish us with a copy of the min
utes of the meeting. Not a white man was
present during the day, except perhaps, iwo or
three in the afternoon, though we did not see
them. One or two of the speeches In the after
noon were very indiscreet, false in statements
and inflammatory in character. A speaker from
Albany, above named, was exceedingly inflam-
atory. He said the whites of the South were
determined to re-enslave the blacks, but failing
in that, they were determined to get their labor
for nothing or take their lives. Another speaker
said thousands of white men here and in the
State were pledged to take the life of any col
ored man who would vote for Grant and Colfax,
and urged his hearers to march forward and
deposit their votes or die like men at the polls
with their ballots in their hands.
Many other and similar false, foolish and in
fiamatory remarks were made by men who
knew they were such. There i3 no forcible
opposition in Georgia to the right of the negro
to vote; no man wants to re-enslave him, and
no honest man will cheat him out of t- cent.
Turner’s speech wa3 the feature of the day. He
read it from the manuscript, and it was ably
written and delivered well. He was extremely
bitter in regard to the Legislature, and scathing
to the Radicals who had betrayed his race. But
we have not time nor space to say more.
The Colored Radical Convention.—Being
promised with a report of the proceedings of
this body yesterday, for publication, we spent
only a few minutes in the City Hall, and as
the report b3s not yet been handed in, we do
not know what wa3 done. Wo do know, how
ever, that some most outrageous speeches were
made, for we heard a portion of one or two, and
they so ruffled our feelings and were so insulting
that we quit the room in disgust.
The object of this Convention, as Turner
informs us, is to test the Radical party in regard
to the right of the colored man to hold offices.
He wants the subject brought at once before
Congress and have the question settled. He
holds, and sensibly, too, that the right to vote is
inseparable from the right to hold office, and
if he is denied either he will reject both.
Since the above was in type the following has
been sent in at our request. We givo it room
that all may know what is going on in our
midst:
eferreJ
several members of the Legislature'had, several
times, said that they would give anything in
the world, nearly, if the negroes were back i
their seats; but they only regrated thjir ex
pulsion, he feared, for policy’s sake. Ha told
them that everybody knew that GeneraljUrant
would be the next President, whether Georgia
goes for him or not; but let colored met dare
to do right, if they died with the ballot iji their
hand, not by illegal means though, butlunder
the law. Yet if they could not votf their
sentiments, then go away and Congress would
not allow that county to be counted wjth the
votes of Georgia.
After Mr. Bryant had concluded, sevestl reso
lutions were offered, all of which were
to the Committee on Resolutions.
The hour of 1 o’clock having arrived, fae Con
vention adjourned till 3 p.m.
AFTERNOON SESSION.
The Convention met at the time appointed,
H. M. Turner in the Chair. The Comn ittee on
Address to tho People of Georgia reported a long
and ably written document. Time wtuld not
permit us to review it. After some Imdatory
remarks from Simms, of Chatham, Hairison, of
Hancock, Beard of Richmond, and another dele,
gate from Thomas, whom the Convention would
not hear because he did not speak to tie point,
the report of the Committee was adopted.
The Committee to memorialize Congress then
reported a still longer document, wlfich Mr.
Simms read with much uency. The ebeument
appeared to be almost an analysis of th» Consti
tution and of the laws of Georgia, and argued
the negro’s elegibility to a seat in tbe ! General
Assembly or to any position he might to elected
to with great force. It stated that if tie negro
was ineligibleto his seat, Georgia was still under
military rule, she is not in the Union, «tc.
It finally concludes with the following ques
tion. Speaking to Congress, it siys: Shall
we look to your august body in the future for
protection from injustice as we have in the
past, or must we protect ourselves ?
The report was adopted by a standing vote,
and was unanimous.
Several other resolutions were then offered,
and referred to the respective committees.
When the House adjourned cmid the wildest
enthusiasm over the able reports of the com
mittee. They met to day atten, and will try
and adjourn this evening or t*-night
A committee of ten delegatu were appointed
to draw up a Constitution and By-Laws for a
State organization, to be known as the Civil
and Political Rights Association of Georgie.
This is to be purely a colored organization.
The Convention of colored men met yesterday
at 10 o’clock, Vice President John T. Costin in
tho Chair.
Prayer by Rev. E. B. Rucker.
The minutes were read and approved after
some correction.
Mr. Turner took the Chair, and announced
the reception of a dispatch from a New York
Convention, which was read and ordered to go
upon the Journals. The dispatch read as fol
lows:
Utica, R. T. clc'.—Wo tender you our sympathy
in this trying hour of your race. Stand firm.
(Signed) J- "W- Lobnan,
Chairman New York Convention.
Hon. J. E. Bryant came in, and was by motion
invited to a seat on the floor.
On motion of Mr. Costin, tho following dispatch
was returned to the New York Convention:
Eon. J. W. Lognan, President of the Few York
Convention:
We have your assurance of sympathy. Thank
you. We have dedicated ourselves to the suc
cess of the issues at stake, and the Empire State
of the South joins hands with the Empire State
of the Xorth in battling for universal rights.—
Our Convention is large and a unit. Nearly
one hundred counties are represented—about 175
delegates now in session and more arriving.
(Signed) H. M. Turner/
President Georgia State Convention.
On motion of Mr. Houston, Mr. Belcher was
added to the list of Secretaries.
Mr. Bryant was invi ie J, by a vote of the House,
to address the Convention, which ho did at
considerable length. He reviewed the whole
history of Reconstruction in this State, and
concluded on the rights of the negro under the
new Constitntion. He said one man had the
£ame right under it as another had, and he
assured the Convention that the great' bulk of
the Democratic citizens of Georgia did not
To the Colored People.—We earnestly desire
to warn the colored people of Macon against
receiving as true, all the declarations their
leaders made yesterday and the day before in
their speeches at the City Hall, during the
session of the Colored Convention. It is true
that what we may have to say in this article,
will have little or no weight with you, os many
of you seem to have lost all confidence in your
white frieuds of the South, still we feel it to be
a duty to utter a word of warning in your ears,
and if you will not heed it, we shall at least
feel that we have discharged our duty.
We heard many statements by your speakers,
in the Convention on Tuesday afternoon, which
were grossly and meanly false—statements
calculated to inflame the passions and excite
the minds of the ignorant, and perhaps, induce
them, under false impressions, to commit acts
of violence and the violation of law. The
statement that the whites of tho South, or the
Democrats were determined to re-enslave the
colored people, so that their labor could be got
for nothing or kill them, is false as it is inflam
matory and slanderous. Tho statement, also,
that thousands of white Democrats in Georgia
were determined to kill negroes if they went
to the polls with Grant and Colfax tickets in
their hands, is a huge and outrageous falsehood.
It is the determination of no Democrat to do
any thing. The election is to be conducted,
on their part, m a tuit, Uonest and peaceable
manner, and every man, white and black,
entitled to vote, will be allowed to cast his ballot
for whom he pleases and be permitted to retire
in peace and unmolested. This is fair to all
and it is ail the Democracy ask. Wo will
brand as infamous, in the columns of thto
paper, any man or set of men who will go to
the polls on election day for the purpose of
preventing any colored man, in a forcible
manner, from voting just as he pleases.—
Then, colored friends, whenever you hear a pub
lic speaker talk about going to the polls armed
or urging you to do so; whenever you hear a
speaker talking all the while as if somebody
wanted to kill him or he wanted to kill somebody ;
whenever, we say, you hear a speaker seeking
by fierce and false statements to arouse the bad
blood and evil passions of his hearers, turn
away from him. He is a dangerous man, and if
you follow him he will surely get you into
trouble.
The great and important issues involved in
this election afford ample material for sensible
and well-meaning men to talk about, without
indulging in incendiary, false and abusive dec
larations.
If it is your determination, right or wrong, to
vote the Radical ticket, with all the iniquity
which attaches to that party staring you in the
face, why, do so, in a quiet, peaceable and or
derly manner, and you will not be interfered
with by any of your opponents. Such a vote on
your part will not excite our anger or hostility,
but rather our sympathy and sorrow at your
ignorance and folly. “Let us have peace.”
Food for Reflection.—A true Southern man,
who has the interests and prosperity of his peo
ple and country at heart, could have seen much
during tho last two days, at our City Hall, to
awaken the most serious reflections if not ap*
prehensions in regard to the immediate future
of the South. There have assembled in and
about our town Hall, for two days, at least three
or four hundred colored people, to hear what
was going on in the colored Convention. A
number of them, it is true, were there as dele
gates, so-called, hut three-fourths were there
merely a3 idlers and lookers on, and that, too,
when every laboring man, not a mechanic, should
be in the cotton fields, straining every nerve to
save as much of the precious staple as possible;
for should it all be gathered, the crop will still
be a very short one. To our mind it is clear as
the sunlight, that either the Northern or South
ern people, or both, must take some step to
ward stopping the constant distraction of our
laboring population; some stop that will end tho
political excitement and agitation now disturb
ing it, or we are ruined. Now, at the very time
when their labor is most needed; now, when
the crop of cotton, upon which so much care and
labor has been bestowed, is ready to be picked
out, and the fruit of the year’s labor is ripe, we
see hundreds of field hands leaving their work
and attending political meetings for days, listen
ing to harrangues by worthless vagabonds who
care nothing for themselves, their country or
people. Isn’t it shameful to have our agricul
tural labor thus distracted and destroyed at such
an important time of the year ? How can it be
stopped ? That’s tho question, and it is full of
food for reflection.
Artificial Stone—The Process ofits
Manufacture.. ,.
This remarkable and important manufacture is
at last not only well established on chemical prin
ciples, but carried out on a large commercial scale.
Nearly a quarter of a century has elapsed since Mr.
Ransome, of London, commenced his experiments
in this direction. Like all pioneers in similar en
terprises, he encountered grave and repeated diffi
culties—not more, however, from the intractabili
ty of materials than from the unbelief of the pub
lic. It' was not nntil 1S6I that he discovered the
complete and certain process now employed, and
to-day, builders at large are but beginning to re
cognize the proof of the new material, and to ad
mit its superiority. For years the Concrete Stone
has been subjected to every test that ingenuity
cpuld devise—to heat ;and lrost—to water, fresh,
Balt and impure, to wash and attrition, and to
every atmospheric exposure. Very few natural
stones are as durable or as uniform, and the best of
them are costly, and, in many localities, inaccessi
ble.
Bnt the comparative cheapness and durability of
the artificial stone are of no greater importance to
architecture as an engineering art than to archi
tecture as a fine art. The enormens expense of
cutting shapeless rocks in to the exact and elaborate
forms of beauty, prevents the general adornment
of structures. But when tbe beautiful lorm may
not only be cast in a mould, but endlessly repro-
doced from the same mould as easily as the ugly
form; and when the most florid ornamentation may
be cheaply moulded than tbe plainest and most un
relieved outlines can be cut, there will be no further
excuse for the monotonous, ugly or;cheap-looking
buildings that characterize street architecture, es
pecially among the Anglo-Saxon peoples.
Those who have occasion to study in detail or
to practice the new art, should read the various
illustrated and technical articles upon it in the
London Engineering. The general featuies of the
process are as follows:
Mr. Ransome’s patent concrete stone consists of
sand united, not by mechanical sticking compound,
but by chemicals which transform it into a new and
homogeneons mass. It is panicles of'sand, in
some cases mixed with a little limestone, united
by silicate of lime. The manner of forming this
silicate of lime in the mass is, in fact, the essence
Of the invention. The sand is mixed with a viscid
solution of silicate of sodajWbicb prod aces a pasty
mass, readily moulded. When the required lorms
are produced they are treated with a solution of
chloride of calcium, when the silicic acid and the
oxygen of tbe silicate of soda combine with the
ealcium of the chloride of calcium and from sili
cate of lime, while the chlorine of tbe chloride of
calcium unites with the sodium and forms chloride
ol sodium, (common salt,) which is afterward
washed out. But Ransome had no sooner dis
covered how to provide for the chemical reactions
than the commercial problem of cost of materials
assumed very serious proportions. Silicate of
soda, the chemical upon which the process hinges,
was, Indeed, produced by two modes, both of
them, however, expensive, and neither of them
adequate in degree. The solntion was too weak,
to answer his purpose. The scientific importance
and the practical difficulty of the improvement,
therefore, lay—just as they did in the Bessemer and
other process—not in making the desired material,
but in making a material with which to make it.
Mr. Kausome’s greatiuvention was theproduction
of silicate of soda under pressure. While powdered
fiintstoue, boiled in a solution of caustic soda, at
the atmospheric pressure for many hours, would
yield but a weak and inadequate fluid, whole flints
so boiled, under a pressure of sixty pounds, readi
ly dissolved and formed a strong silicate of soda.
The first process is drying the sand by letting It
slide down through an inclined revolving cylinder,
warmed by a blast of heated air. The sand is then
sorted in bins, according to its fineness. The sili
cate of soda is prepared in a boiler resembling a
cylindrical steam boiler. The flints are laid on a
grating in the boiler, the caustic soda fills the boil
er, and the heating is done by steam pipes intro
duced into it from a steam boiler. The solution
thus obtained is further strengthened by evapora
tion in a tank furnished with steam heating pipes.
The mixing of the drv s nd a;.d the sticky liquid
silicate of soda, i - • ;• ^ kneading mill consist
ing of iron wh.ols with projections, rolling in a
trough. • .cm two and one-fourth to three bushels
of the sand and limestone, are thoroughly mixed
with one gallon of the solution, (which has a densi
ty ot 1.7,) and the pasty mass thus formed has just
enough cohesion to enable it to be.moulded. The
moulding consists simply of forcing the paste, a
little at a time, soiidly into moulds, which are
then removed, leaving the perfectly shaped but
fragile figure. The moulds that are repeatedly
used are made of iron.
The next process is to change the moulded mass,
now weaker than plaster, and hardly stronger than
putty, into stone;*and this rapid and all import
ant process exhibits a mechanical, expedient not
more strange than :he chemical reaction. Ithadlong
been the eastern to pour the petrifying liquid
(chlorid of calcium,) over the figure, or when the
latter was ol suitable shape to be lifted, to im
merse it in the liquid—the complete penstratiqn in
either case requiring a long time. The ingenious
method now practiced is to connect a cavity leit
in the molded figure with an air pump, which, by
exhausting the pores in the mass from within, al
lows the solution poured upon the exterior sur
faces to be rapidly forced in and throughout the
mat*. In a few moments the stoue is hardened,
or rather created so that it can be handled with
impunity. Butjto thoroughly expel the air, and
to perfect the chemical action, the stone is further
boiled in the solution of chloride of calcium (lime
water,) by means of tanks and steam pipes. These
tanks are arranged in a row on one side of a rail
way, and on the other side there is a series of
shower baths, by which the chloride of sodium
formed in the stone is washed out. Drying now
completes the process, and this is effected in the
open air in Summer, dnd in warm rooms in the
\v inter.
The Patent Concrete Stone Works, where these
operations are carried out on a very extensive
scale, are situated on tbe Thames, at East Green
wich, below Loudon. Among the fine products
now making there are a pair of screws for the East
India Office, the capitals and ornamentation for the
public buildings at Calcutta, and for the new St.
Thomas Hospital in London. The sharpness of
outline, and the beauty of finish, are all tnat could
be desired. In this regard it differs radically from
sandal wood stucco, and painted iron, which,
when intended to imitate stone, invariably looks
cheap. The concrete stone, however, is not an
imitation. Its color is also excellent, and may he
considerably varied.—A’. Y. Times.

The attractions of the cotton market since the last
weekly report have been too iaviting to speculators
to invest any surplus cash in stocks or bonds, and
consequently, there has been little or nothing done id
them during the week. Our quotations have slightly
changed in the price of one or two railroad securities
since last report, and we give them, with the remark
that they are merely nominal:

The Camilla Affair.
Bkows’s Hotel,
Macon, Ga., September 28, 1868. )
Mr. J. W. Armstrong, Jr., Albany, Ga.:
Sir—I have the honor to inform you that
upon a personal investigation of the Camilla
affair, I was unable to discover that your
visit to Camilla bad any reference, however
remote, to that affair, and I regret exceed
ingly that it should have been made to ap
pear that it bad.
Very respectfallv, 5 our obedient servant,
' O. H. Howard,
Brevet Major U. S. A.
, Since tho first of January last, 27,562,677
gallons of petroleum have been exported from
indorse the action of the Legislature, and that Philadeljmia.
School Composition—on Politics.—Politics
is a nard work. I don’t just know what it means.
I guess itiis a sort of sickness. People who have
this sickness meet together in the evening and
howl and talk. Pa has ’em bad. He goes out
five nights in the week, and doesn’t stay at home
the other night. He has ’em so had that he can’t
walk straight when he comes home.
I used to think politics was something good to
eat.
Ma says she thinks it is something good to
drink.
I went once to a meeting where they had poli
ties bad.- A man got up, and called another man
who wasn’t there all sorts of names. He said he
belonged to the other party. He said the country
was going to ruin, and we should all be ground to
powder in the crash. I told ma I thought he was
talking about earthquakes. Earthquakes is in my
last geography lesson. I don’t like geography
much. Bill Brown calls it goggerfree. But gog-
gerfree is a good deal better than politics.
Pa says when I grow up I shall understand poli
tics, but I don't Uke the taste of it, except when
ma makes it up in egg-nog. When I’m a man I
mean to have a horse and a cow, and go to the
theatre, and be a policeman, and keep a candy
store, and have a balloon, and dance on the tight,
rope, and be aclown like “Humpty Dumpty,” and
go to church once a year, and to the Central Park
twice a week, and in swimming three times a day.
Bnt I don’t want anymore politics.—Yew York
Commonwealth.
Greenbacks Well Invested.—Whatever
mav be the political decision about the value
of “Greenbacks,” a dollar and a half of
them cannot be better invested just now
than in securing that most valuable and
beautifully illustrated journal, adopted to
the want3 of every man, woman and child, in
city, village, or country—the American
Agriculturist—so-called because it was
originally started, 27 years ago, specially as
a rural journal. It is now three times its
former size, and is filled with highly useful,
non-political information for all classes—for
the household, for the gaiden, for the
orchard, and for the farm. The hundreds
of beautiful and instructive engravings are
alone worth many times the cost,while its forty
large pages contain a world of carefully pre
pared, practical instruction, including an ex
cellent household department, and a very use
ful as well as pleasing department for chil
dren and youth. It is taken and read by at
least seventy-five thousand people in cities
and villages, and by 83 many more Farmers,
Gardeners, Fruit Growers, etc. Probably
nowhere else can one get so much that is real
ly valuable for so little money. Now is the
time to subscribe, for the publishers offer the
balance of this year free to all new subscrib
ers now received for 1869. Four copies are
supplied from now to the end of 1869, for
$5 00. The number for October 1st, just at
hand, like its predecessors, is a superb paper.
The publishers offer a large and valuable
premium list to those securing clubs of sub
scribers. Address Orange Judd & Co., 245
Broadway, New York. Take onr advice and
try the paper for a year—or 14 months now
for the usual cost of a year.

COTTON PRICES.
Bryce A Co.’s Circular of the 2d inst. says;
The statistical position of American cotton is ex
tremely strong. The available supply in Great Britain
is not sufficient for five weeks’ use at the present rate
of consumption, and the necessities of cur own man
ufacturers will keep prices here above our export
point until the receipts become heavy enough to cause
a considerable increase in stock. The large quantities
of Surat cotton which will be thrown into Liverpool
during this month will cause a wider difference be
tween that variety and American than now exists,
and thus turn consumption on tbe Indian varieties.
Indeed, such a course of events must occur, or Great
Britain will be at the end of her American stock be
fore the arrival of any now being shipped from the
Gulf ports by sail. With the statistical position as it
is, and prices no higher than they are, it does not
seem probable that the Liverpool quotations will be
much reduced, unless the break starts from this side.
Tbe decline last month in Liverpool would never have
been made had it not been for the demoralized condi
tion of the New Orleans market on a single day, when
orders at8)4d., cost and freight, were executed and
duly advised by wire. It seems to us that the world’s
consumption, with prices under 9)4d, is much in ex
cess of the world’s productions, and any material de
cline below these figures will be followed by a reac
tion which will carry prices far above their normal
level later in the season. The railroads of the Far
East are steadily opening new markets for British
yarns and cloth, and the increase of supply of the raw
material from these sources is not equal to the in
creased consumption of the manufactured article.
From all the signs of tho times, Great Britain will
need more cotton thisyear than lost.and this increased
supply does not, as yet, show itself. In this country
wo cannot reasonably hope for much increase in tbe
consumption of cotton; as it is, the anomalous condi
tion of affairs, as seen in a rising market for cotton
and a rapidly declining one in cotton goods, proves
that we are over-producing. Tho enormous existing
tariff has stimulated the manufacture of cotton goods
to a point beyond tbe ability of our domestic markets
to take them, and a glut is the result; for the same
tariff which protects (?; cotton goods protects every
thing that enters their manufacture, and consequently
increases their cost to an extent that prohibits their
competition with European goods in other than our
domestic markets.

Pear Sir: la your paper of last week you. or.
one of your correspondents say that Br. Drake*
is not the originator of the celebrated Plantation-
Bitters, and that they were manufactured and.
sold by one Pedro Martelle, an old Spaniard, in,
the Island of St. Thomas, over forty years ago,,
as every old sea captain can testify. Now, sir,
I can certify to the above as being true, for I
have followed the sea for over forty years, most
of the time doing business with the West
Indies. These same Bitters, differently put up
and named, were brought to my notice on my
first trip to tho Island of St. Croix for a cargo ot
rum, and for years and years after, my ship’*,
stores were never without them. I always sup
plied my family and many of my neighbors
with them, and can truly say a better Bittern,
and Tonic, is not made in all the worlds
Yours, truly.
