THE TELEGRAPH
MACON, FRIDAY OCTOBER 9, 1808.
Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana and Ne
braska.—The State elections in these States
occur just one week from to-day, and ordi
narily they settle the question of the Presi
dency. At this time, if we may judge from
what the papers say, both parties are equally
confident of success by decisive majorities.
The Republicans claim Pennsylvania by
20,000; Ohio by 30,000, and Indiana by about
the Bame. On the other hand, we think we
can judge when papers are talking seriously
or merely for effect, and it is pretty clear to
our mind that the Democrats in these States
expect to carry them. Somebody i3 bound
to be badly disappointed by the result.
The Savannah Republican.—The reader
will share the gratification we feel in the re
turn of Col. James R. Sneed to the control
of the Savannah Republican—a paper with
which his name was so long and popularly
identified in better days. We cannot doubt
that, under his auspices, the Republican will
enter upon a brilliant and prosperous career
—will be highly serviceable to the State of
Georgia in promoting harmony and good
feeling among the people, and in upholding
prudent and conservative political councils
—while in the cause ot industrial and social
progress it will be among the foremost. We
wish him great success, and gladly welcome
him back again to the toiling fraternity of
the press.
Synod op Georgia and Florida.—This
ecclesiastical body, say3 the Rome Courier,
will convene in Rome on Wednesday, Octo
ber 21st., and continue its session through the
remainder of that week.
It is expected that the number of delegates
in attendance will be about one hundred,
and, it is hoped, that our citizens, irrespec
tive of denomination, will give them a cordial
reception and generous hospitality, as is their
custom.
The New York Mercantile Journal.—
This invaluable paper entered upon its 6th
volume the 3d instant, much enlarged, im
proved, and changed to an octavo form. It
is a gigantic sheet, abounding in every fact
which it is important a mercantile man
should know. For illustration, it furnishes
the prices of every article and commodity
known in modern trade, and the most timely
and valuable suggestions upbn markets.

Arkansas.—A letter from Arkansas de
clares that Seymour and Blair will carry the
State by twenty thousand majority, and that
the whole delegation to Congress will be
Democratic. Registration is general through
out the .State, and the vote will be the larg
est ever polled. Thousands of negroes will
vote with the Democrats. In Jefferson county
alone, which in the Spring was Radical, two
thousand negroes had abandoned the carpet
baggers.
Two Tchkies Demanded.—The Louisiana
blacks say in Sunday's dispatches that they
are tired of voting white men alone into
Congress and want some of it themselves.
They insist that in this division the scala
wags shall give them at least two out of the
■five turkies. What, with South Carolina
and Louisiana, there’s a brilliant chance of
getting some negro members of Congress.
The Nashyilee Republican Banner
comes to us very much enlarged and abound
ing in all tlie evidences of journalistic pros
perity. Tbe Banner is a capital paper—we
know of no better one.
Lands nr Maryland and Virginia.—The
following paragraphs illustrate tbe different
valuations of land in Maryland and Virginia:
The Fredericksburg Herald says: The es
tate of the late B. B. McKenny, lying in Lan
caster county, Va., (part of the old Curricman
tract) on Carter’s Creek, containing 1400
acres, has been purchased by Mr. Gunther, of
Baltimore, for $9000. We hear that $12,000
has been oflered for another tract in the same
vicinity, containing about 1800 acres, and be
longing to John B. Davis, of Richmond.
The Delkab Statement.—The New York
Herald, of Saturday, says the Treasury De
partment Las put forth a semi-annual docu
ment exposing erroneous statistics in Del
mar’s recent statement. It claimB Delmar
failed to include a cash balance of $103,000,-
000 on hand in June.
Cotton Traveling.—Cotton has ad
vaneed about seven cents in the last ten days
in the Macon market, and is rapidly moving
upward. Middling is eleven pence in Liver
pool, with a market buoyant evidently to tbe
point of excitement.
Land Sales in Prince George’s County
Md.—Fendall Marbury, Esq., as trustee, soldi
on Thursday tbe farm of the late W. T. Weir,
in Spalding’s District (75 acres), at $30 05
per acre; purchased by Dr. Edgar G. Wood.
On the same day Mr. Charles Grimes, as trus
tee, sold the farm of the late Thomas Grimes,
in the same district, (208 acres, in parcels, at
an average of $32 25 per acre.
Sinking op tee Earth in Ha wail—Honolulu
advices to September fith have been received at
Ban Francisco. The reported sinking oi-the South
eastern shore of Hawaii is confirmed. The same
occurrence was observed at Port Hilo. The sub
sidence at Hawaii in some places was from three
to four feet, and in others from six to seven feet,
while at Hilo the greatest subsidence noticed was
eight inches. In Hilo, Para and Kanfroll, one to
five earthquakes occurred daily. Considerable
6moke was arising from Kilenan, though but little
Are was visible. Oscillations of the eea aPHUo on
August 14th, 15th and 16th were remarkable. For
three days the sea rose and fell from three to fonr
feet once every ten minutes.

LETTER FROM CAPT. WM. P. PIERCE, RADICAL
CANDIDATE FOR CONGRESS FROM THE SEC
OND DISTRICT.
Albany, Ga., September 30,1868.
Editors Macon Telegraph : Tbe report made
to the Georgia Legislature of tbe Camilla out
rages, resting upon tbe statements of strong
partisans, some of whom I know, and as tbe
jurat shows, were not present and could not
have observed some things they state, and
which omits some very material matters nec
essary to a fair understanding of it, has given
a footing for Col. Ben. Hill to write a very
unjust letter, which I have read in your pa
per from the New York Tribune. It assumes
that the Republicans who went to Camilla
were an armed military organization prohib
ited by the Governor’s proclamation. That
they were not such a body is evident from
tbe fact that they were men, women and
children, some of whom were first notified of
the meeting by music along tbe road, and all
of them assembled for tbe sole purpose of a
political meeting. It is true many of them
bad shot guns; but then we know it is, and
has been for several years, a custom in this
State for both white and black to carry
arms and for the latter, when they have
them, often to carry them openly on public
and private occasions. But they were un
organized and entirely undisciplined in
military drill and unprovided either for
attack or resistance; and even those who had
guns had no ammunition after the first fire,
and therefore fled. But, says the reporter
the citizens of Camilla were notified that Mr.
Murphy had issued circulars “ordering” the
freedmen to bring their arms with them
there. There is not, and cannot be, proof of
such circulars. I positively deny they were
ever issued. The only notices that were
were issued, to my knowledge, by any one,
were simply printed posters, naming the
speaker and time and place of speaking.—
From such false reports the people of
Camilla professed to be alarmed, and it
seems they detailed the Sheriff, with others
wearing side arms, to protest against the
crowd entering town with arms; quite a
conversation ensued, in which the Sheriff
spoke of the proclamation and we of the
Constitution. I never said we would
speak there at all hazards, or any other
language like that which a few news
papers have charged me with; on the
contrary, we were anxious to allay their
excitement. We reminded them that it was
their custom to carry arms; that they owned
the arms, that we had never told them to
bring arms; that we wanted peace; and,
finally, even agreed to abandon our adver
tised meeting at Camilla, and to hold it
about one-half mile therefrom, at Dr. Dash
er’s, provided he would consent to it; but
owing to the reign of terror in that neigh
borhood, he did not consent.
We then sent notice to the Sheriff, who our
messenger met coming toward us. This time
he was alone and did not protest against our
entering town. Mr. Putney, who is a planter
in this county, and certainly is as credible a
witness as the Sheriff, states in his printed
affidavit that I demanded of the Sheriff, as a
peace officer, that he preserve the peace on
the part of the Camillians, and that there
would be no disorder on our part; and that
he promised to try to keep the peace, but
doubted his ability to do so. This statement
is strictly true, and is nowhere contradicted.
Save this last remark of the Sheriff, the effect
of what he said was not so much that we
should fear them as that they feared us. I did
not'anticipate and still less desired a difficulty.
Certainly my own interest required nocollision
should occur; and I would rather have re
turned to Albany and borne the stigma of
cowardice and lost the race, than that it
should have happened. So sure was I that
there wouldnotbea difficulty that Mr. Putney
and myself rode alone across the public square,
alighted from our buggy, and were standing
on the portico of the south side of the Court
house, when the orderly and peaceable crowd
were entering on the northwest side of town
when they were fired upon. I had no gun, Mr.
Putney had left his gun in the buggy, and
while thus standing there we were fired at
and Mr. Patnev wounded—two balls passed
through my clothing and one brushed my
leg. We then had to fly for our lives, leav
ing tbe horse and buggy, which, I am told,
tbe captors still retain and refuse to give np;
and I know that to be so of Mr. Pntney’s
mules and wagon. The report is silent as to
most of these things, all of which those who
were present know to be true. But that re
port, by omitting these important facts and
coloring others, gives a false character to this
whole matter.
The truth of these things will hardly be
denied. They are established beyond all doubt
by the sworn statements of over twenty
eye witnesses, taken at different times
and without collusion, thongh all agreeing in
every material matter,and one hundred more
can be obtained if necessary. These affida
vits have been taken under the auspices *of
Col. Howard in his official duty, who is ano-
bl, just and candid man, and who has con
demned in a published card the ingenious
but futile effort to make him endorse that
white-washed report by pretending that the
matter thereof was obtained under his direc
tion.
But they mention tbe fact that I tried to ral
ly them beyond the Court-house. It was be
cause these men had horses saddled to pursue
and cut us down which could only be pre
vented by an organized resistance and retreat:
but our crowd having never been “discip
lined or drilled in military tactics,” and
Waiting to Go Up, but Disappointed.
A letter from Rockingham county to the
Lynchburg Republican says, on tbe 27th
ultimo:
To-day has been an exciting day with us,
We have among us a church of people who
have for some time set apart the 27tn of tin a
month for the coming of the Saviour, and
many of them, I believe, were honest in that
expectation. This morning they all met, and
faithfully observed the day with singing,
prayer, and other religious exercises. They
have just disappeared in dispair. There
were many people from all directions who
met here at this place to see and hear what
they had to say. We call the sect Thurman
ites.
Miss Lorillard Spencer, a pretty New
Yorker, is to marry one of the Counts Cenci
ill Rome.
The Stobu on Cotton.—We hear from
Alabama and Southern: and Southwestern
Georgia, that cotton in the field was a good
deal beaten out by the heayy rain of last
Saturday, and It is not improbable that
** stained cotton ” wil^ hereafter fignre to
considerable extent in the market.
their safety required this “armed crowd to be
dispersed,” wby did they discharge their
first fire at tbe unarmed musicians, and not
at what they called tbe “armed procession ?”
There was not an armed Republican killed
or wounded the first fire—they werq musi
cians. Did music make them mad ?
Col. Hill, for the purpose' of leaving the
impression that I am not a permanent resi
dent of Georgia says, I came to Lee county as a
Bureau Agent, when he knows full well that
I planted in that county two years before
obtained that , agency, and when I quit
planting in Lee Isold him my mules.
Re intimates I became a Republican after
the passage of the Reconstruction Acts, when
ail my acquaintances know I have been one
from my earliest boyhood.
He states that Mr. Murpby and myself are
regarded as insurrectionists. What has come
over the spirit of his dreams ? He may re
member in our last conversation at Smith-
ville be expressed esteem for me. I am now
what I was then, but then there was no politi
cal excitement. I have, and so far as I know,
Mr. Murphy has, always counselled the col
ored people to obedience, law, and order.
And in this very county of Lee, where I hare
lived as a planter, and as an officer of the
Bureau, there is as much or more industry
and order on the part of the blacks, and good
will between both races than in any other
county in this District. I have ever ardent
ly desired peace, law, and order 1 It i3 our
common interest to observe them. But no
padlock should be clasped upon the God-
given powers of thought and speech.

The Prolific Cotton—Geese put to Practi
cal Use.—A gentleman who lives nearSeal’a Sta
tion, Ala., told us, yesterday, some of tbe advan
tages of the prolific cotton.' He says that it grows
much more rapidly than the ordinary cotton
grown; that the limbs and joints are shorter, but
the lormer more numerous than on the ordinary
cotton, and produce as many bolls. This cotton
is chopped out at a distance of ten inches (about
the width ot a common No. 1 hoe), while the eot-
ton in general use is chopped nearly two feet, with
only one stalk in a hill when brought to a stand.
He invariably leaves two stalks in a hill, and as
many as four will thrive of this cotton at the dis
tance of ten inches. Supposing the cotton in gen
eral use to spread out and bear more bolls, this
cotton would still have the advantage by tbe num
ber of stalks in a given space. His stalks have on
them some twenty full grown bolls, and the ste
stalks, at this average, would produce 120 bolls,
which is not often to be gathered from one stalk.
He will make 800 pounds to the acreon very poor,
sandy land, which Is good cropping. He has also
having no ammunition could not be organ- savedthe labor ot ahoe bond by turning his geese
ized or kept together.
The country is in part acquainted with the
terrible slaughter that ensued, of both sexes,
extending for many miles, and stopped only
by night; all of which it is difficult to re-
concila with the motives these men profess to
have had.
The report implies no difficulty would
have occurred but for our arms. "Whether
that should have provoked such a difficulty,
I leave to others to decide. But recent
developments indicate we would have been
stopped, if not attacked, even without arms.
The Sheriff shows, in his last affidavit, that
prior to this sad occurence James Johns,
repeatedly threatened we should not speak
at Camilla; and there are other affidavits of
threats made by others to the same effect.
On the appointed day for speaking, Johns
and many others, were in Camilla with guns.
These men say Johns was drinking—they
knew he was reckless—-that be would execute
.his threats—that he threatened to shoot—
they saw him walk out from among them—
with gun in hand; and advance toward-the
music—yet they made no effort to stop him I*
, • If these men ot .Camilla were actuated by
the motive ’they profess-»if they thought
on bis cotton as he ploughed it, and says they kept
it entirely clean. The question arises here wbetn-
er a man could better pay an extra hand, or stand
the noise of the geess ? He says he had about
twenty in his field, and we know of nothing that
could make more noise, except two pigs under a
gate, or one more goose added to the twenty, er
last, bat not by any means least, (dear mammas,
mind you!) a pet baby that needed Mrs. Winslow’s
Soothing Syrup, or a larger one that was needing
a little twig from a sour apple tree!—Cotumhis

George D. Prentice “Dismissed” from the
Louisville Journal.—George D. Prentice and
the LonlsvlUe Journal have for many yearsseemed
to tbe public to be almost one and inseparable.
Prentice was the founder of the Journal. He was
long the most brilliant of Western editors. His
fame as a witty paragraphist was rational. He
was equally well known as a poet and a politician.
HU paper was largely circulated and profitable.
HU style as a writer has been imitated by hun
dreds. It was varied, picturesque, exaggerated, at
tractive and forcible, with always too much col
oring, too many adjectives. And the style of no
writer in America—Horace Greeley,peihaps except*
ed—was better known. Now the Intelligence
reaches us that* after having been put upon a sal
ary of forty dollars a week m the Journal, by Its
pretent proprietors, he has been “dismissed.”
The Idea of dismissing George D. Prentice from
the LonlsvQle Journsl office seems very strange.
' Perhaps, rather, it is very sad. He is old and fee
ble? weary, of half a century of hard .work, and .it
is said he is dissipated. His old friends are gone.
His wife is dead.. Alas, poor Yorjck.

Mr. Bryant rose to a personal explanation.
An article had appeared in one of the city
papersin regard to what he said in the dis
cussion of tbe Fyall case. He said the lan
guage as reported in this paper [The Consti
tution] conveyed the idea that Fyall’s testi
mony was to be believed sooner because he
was a negro. Such was not his intention.
He meant;thafcFyall,as a member of the House,
was more entitled to respect as a member of
the House than an outsider. This sheet [The
Constitution] goes on to speak of me as a
coward. I have tested my courage on the
battle-field where men do prove it,, and be
cause I do not wish to show my courage as
blackguards and gamblers do, I am branded
as a coward. I will make such statements
when and where I choose and am responsible
for them. '
It is farther stated that this young' man
came to me, etc. The sod of this man did
come to me and accosted me, and I took him
to the Speaker and made the same explana
tion to him that I made here.

Methuselah Drowned in the Flood -
We make the following extracts from an Z
tide contributed to the Louisville Democrat-
All we know of the origin of the earth or
our race we learn from Revelations. The
chronology used by the civilized world i,
founded on the dates furnished us in t^e B :
ble. We reckon the date of the food" from
the dates found in the 6th chapter of Gene
sis. . We learn from this chapter that Adam
lived before his son Seth was born 130 years •
Seth lived before his son Enos was born 105
years; Enos lived before his son Cainan was
born 90 years; Cainan lived before bis sot
Mahalalul was bom 70 years; Hahslelul
lived before his son Jared was bom 61
years; Jared lived before his son Enoch
was bom 162 years; Enoch lived before
his son Methuselah (687) was born 65
years; Methusaleh lived before his son La-
mech was born IS 7 years; Lamech lived be
fore his son Noah was bom 182 years. Noah,
hence, was bora Anno Mundi 1056.
In Genesis, 7th chaper, 6th verse, we are
informed that Noah was 600 years old wfces
the flood of water was upon the earth. Add
600 years (his age) to 1056, the date of his
birtn, and we have 1656, the date of the flood.
We learn from the 27th verse, oth chapter of
Genesis, that “ all the days of Methusaleh
were 969 years, and he died.” By reference
to the foregoing table it will be seen that
Methusaleh was bora Anno Mundi 637; add
his age 960, to 687, the date of his birth, and
we have 1656, the time “ when the flood of
waters was upon the e&rtb.” The conclusion
is as certain as figures that the oldest mum-
drowned for his wickedness. [And is a re
markable proof of the troth of Bible figures.]
Thefilectric Light >
Once more the public of the big cities ire
interested in the electric light, which at dif
ferent times for a few years past has occupied
the attention of the scientific world. The
difficulty heretofore has been so to anarw
the generating apparatus as tomaketheligir:
reliable—by freeing the machinery openacg
the subtle fluid from what has been called
“caprice.” Some years ago two electric
lights were placed at the suburban termina
tions of two principal streets of Paris. The
light given out by the buminig pencils if
carbon was almost as brilliant as the sola:
rays; but while thousands were looking o:.
this wonderful light expired, and so did frith
in the manner in which it was at that time
evolved.
But M. Berlioz has recently completed ac
invention tor producing the electric light
which appears to be more reliable. The
people of New York are just waked up c:
the subject by beholding M. Berlioz's instru
ment on board the French ship St. Laurent-
of the General Transatlantique Company s
line, from Havre, and now lying in the Hud
son off Morton street. The New Yo-t
papers state that this light illumine the
country in the direction it is turned for at
immense distance, lighting up the Jersey
shore almost as bright as it is by sunlignt,
and anon throwing such a flood of light ot
New York city that it is presumed a dozsi
such illuminators would illuminate the wnott
of that great city more completely than a-i
the gaslights which are now jetted out un
its streets. _ •
This light is now in charge ot a
company. The battery and appurtenant

Its modus operandi is pronounced pertect,

used by railway trains, will penetrate^ _

The immediate purpose to which ltup
