What Become* of o&irifearuings?
We Kaye noticed some ingenious speculations
on this subject among our Contemporaries, but
the answer seems to us very, plain. For illus
tration, look at yestejday’s,
and you will see ihgi one, railway brought $o
Maoon during the week ending on Saturday last,
in thirteen stable articles of food alone; a value
rising the sum of fifty thousand dollars; and
those were by no means heavy shipments.—
But fifty thousand dollar’s worth of food per
* week is two millions‘Sir hundred tHousand'a

The Last Cotton Crop and the Next.
We copy from the Boston Journal some fig-
racs and estimates-ni
will show, qqrj readers ,«Jose\y these, people f
watch the cottpn.crpp, whether growing, or in
topsit-to. market. -The loose, scattering and
indefinite intelligence in onr Southern papers

430,000 bales, and we already see, thatj with all
its drawbacks of-'(Caterpillar and disease, the

• MU A Fruit Conntlryi ,
A neijjli&r 6j: oure, who ted practical pomolds:
gist, apd familiar with, fruit .culture - in most of
the States, has awery. high opinion of this sec
tion of Georgia as te •' fruit' region. 'Hd says
that, as gtua^ ps jti' its jreputatipn'. for.' peaches,
it is even a better grape country. He,'
vineyard of three year bld vines.’af many varie
ties, and itWnow a *W6nderfnl sight- These
vines are little.^®, ® mass of cjnsters, ahd
there is not-in the whole collection a single evi.
dence of blight ' All are in the highest .state of.
health ahif lnxurianhe, and exceed anything in
the way pf productiveness he has ever seen in
any part/ of the world. - * We suppose that up
wards of a hundred clusters: can: be ’ found on
many of these little, closely pruned vines.
In the way, of pears his success js very marked.
He has-a large number of the best-varieties, and
we counted ten pears larger than a hen’s egg on
a twig not more than'a foot in' length. All his
pear trees are in prolific’bearing, and as healthy
as they can be. He has also very- fine .apples,
but the best Northern winter : apples become a
fafl app$jjn'(^qigi&'7 7 :f ! . _7'
It is truly wonderful -what results in the , way
of fruit a Jittla systematic labor and culture will
evolve in this countryy and we have repeatedly
had occasion' to note what) can be, done in the
product of, garden vegetables. .The samp ( care
and outlay, whether expended on flowers, fruits
or vegetables, produces here in Georgia,-far
more satisfactory results than in' the Eastern,
Western or, middle States. The. seasons are so
much longer and more , equable,- apd.onr soil
seems to take manures-so kindly and respond
to theifirso. heartily arid liberally, that it is a
pity Georgian^ do.pofc think more’of toe relative
value of their, own State.' in future years, when
a wiser generation springs up, middle Georgia
will be the grandest of’ fruit fednntries, arid will
beat the Rhine, all to pieces in toe production
of highly flavored wines. u<s: e
!«•'-■> Negro Eligibility.
We imagine pobody will be surprised-that
the Supreme Court of Georgia has affirmed the
eligibility of toe-negro to office in Georgia—
though the verdict is given under circumstan
ces to shake popular confidence in the legal
soundness of the decision..' The judges are all
Republicans, but toe .only one of them who has
distinguished reputation as a lawyer, gives toe
dissenting opinion. We shall await, with some
interest,' toe publication of toe decisions.

The 1 Air Line.Eagle of last Friday says they

*: The Great Peace Jubilee
Set in yesterday, and General Grant and staff
Were tq'be present.. Performances were to be
opened with prayer, an.address of welcome by
toe Mayor, and a congratulatory address -by
Hon. Alexander HI Rice, -on toe restoration of
peace and Union. . tfnhn followed musical per
formances by an orchestra of one thousand
instruments, vind whatever number of vocalists
may be included in eight hundred organizations,
toe whole asristed by .toe' great organ. ‘ They
open with a grand- choral, ,“A Strong Castle is
Onr Lord, 4 ’ by Luther—toe overture to Tann-
hauser—Chords from Mozart’s 12fh Mass.—Ave

Hymn to Pence, by Oliver Wendell Holmes.
Overture to William' TelL Inflammatus, stabat
mater, snug byParepaRosa, Coronation inarch
and another national air—sncli was toe pro
gramme of yesterday. It did not include the
Grand Infantile Choron3 as arranged by outside
committees, wherein ten" thousand Boston
mothers, responsive to taps on ihe, great' fifteen
foot drnm,,were to.spank ten thousand Boston
babies;’and if this was omitted a material part
of toe performance was left out. ’ ’ ‘ ■
The immense Coilisenm or Shingle Palace in
which these performances take place; seats fifty
thousand people and will, -ho doubt, be jammed.
The performances continue toe remainder of
the week and commence, every day at 3 p. ir.
Georgia has some interest in them, according to.
toe Charleston Courier Washington Correspond
ent, who announces that the President has gone
to Boston “to celebrate the return of peace,
while at toe same time he will deliberate on toe
question of toe wnewal of toe war in Georgia.”
So speeds toe great Boston Peace Jubilee—a
characteristic affair altogether, and a handsome
speculation, no doubt. - Secured seats are five
to three dollars, according to location, and single
tickets two dollars. With'receipts of two hun
dred thousand dollars a day, five days* per
formances will make a round million, which is
toe figure aimed at Add a: few more millions
scattered round town in hotel bills, shopping
and drinks, and this much ridiculed affair will
contribute handsomely to tod solidity of Boston.

.The crop prospects bn this river are ; tolerably

k CUBAN YIOTOBY.
|i £ateUigencehas< been received-here from Cuban
souroes, of a fight between the Revolutionary forces
and toe.Spanish- troops, near Puerto, del Padre.—
The Cuban troops, numbering *bo?t twq thousand,
were .-attacked in their entrenchuents, by toe Span
iards in nearly double that- number, and were-twiee
repulsed. The loss of toe Cubans was less than
one hundred in killed and wounded, that of the at
tacking party yyas three times greater,
The Spaniards retreated, leaving a number of.
killed and wounded on ,the field. ; - .f,
The result of this battle has: had a most encourag
ing effect upon the Cuban army, which is reported
as gaining strength every day from toe best portion
of top people of the Island. 1 1 -~ •’ B
The want of harmony between the officers in com
mand of. th'e Government tfoops in :thp fifeldi ’and
the volunteers who ,have taken', possession of the
government of the Island, is exhibiting itqelf in the
demoralization of toe Spanish troops, and the large
number of: deserters to the Cuban army. This con
dition of things has given new Impulse and strength
to the Cuban cause, toe leaders having no doubt of
their ultimate, success.
A number qf recniits, mostly from Virginia, left
here yesterday and to-day. to join a force which arc
rendezvousing on toe Southern coast, preparatory
to joining toe Cuban army. . m I
L ; MOTLEYS INSTRUCTIONS.
It is hot true, as fmhored in a recent cable tele
gram, that .in an official communication, Motley in
timated that toe. American Administration concurs
in toe reasons which led ..ton Senate to reject .'the
Alabama treaty.;- Such was not toe tenor of his in
structions concerning -his intercourse with her
Majesty's Government j -and it-is not, therefore,
considered probable that he would-make tost as
sertion. It is, however. certairi' that he was in
structed to'explain the circumstances attending the.
rejection of the treaty, without- committing this
Government to any lifi'e of policy 1 ; but, at toe’samo
time, standing by the rejection of the treaty.- - Min
ister Motley is not instructed to make any proposi
tion for the settlement of -the claims, but to say
that, in view of the irritation'in England, owing to
the rejection of the treaty, the'^resenf is not an
auspicious time to propose reopening negotiations;
In other words, the temporary postponement of toe
question is desirable, with the hope that when the
excitement shall eubside.. Her Majesty’s Govern
ment will invite a reopening of negotiations. He is
not authorized to announce the readiness of OUr
Government to make any proposition on that sub
ject, nor to demand the'payment'of the amount of
—nVHAwkI as well as individualhut to as-
Eure Her. Majesty's Government of the sincere de
sire of onr own to have all matters of dispute ad
justed on terms honorable .and satisfactory to both
nations.
I Another point in toe instrnctions.is, in effect, that
the mere proclamation declaring toe rebels entitled
to-belligerent rights, is not, hr itself, a' cause, for
demanding damages or a separate ground of com
plaint; but this, taken in. connection with subse
quent acts, was unfriendly and showed a spirit, of
hostility against the United States during toe late
war. resulting in losses which required reparation.
The instructions were prepared at the Department
of State, about ten days, before Minister Motley left'
this country; having there been.sh'ghtly modified at
toe instance of the president lumeelf. They were
carefully considered by the Cabinet to whom they
were acceptable, and were soon thereafter handed
to Motley, without further amendment. ■ ” •'
The only specific instructions to Motley, as to toe
[treaty negotiations, are with reference to naturali
zation ahd consuls, and it is supposed'by this .time
hs has entered upon that: duty. . . r . .'. . ., ; ,
The Department of State has received no positive
or direct information. from McMahon since Decem
ber last, when ha arrived at Asuncion. All other
information is rumor or speculation. •

from Buenos Ayres.and Rip. deJanerfo. .'On toe

that he is'an impostor arid swln31er, : beyond all

apd the chanceenoware that he will soon be work-

he has been indicted for swindling and cannot get
