'.jjso Nigokbs.—Those were regular Con- ^ l niggers at this Court-house,' in Bald- r -gjgriej, Alabama, where they took poBsess- '' . ^ polls,beftt the whites,drove every dem- ■' ^ B jgger away and polled 220 majority for ?\j e y. They knew exactly what Congress I • " iof them, and what was understood by action according to tbeRadical xnethod. I T^tid a gentleman of high character, and "never identified with the Democrats or * ;gonists, remark yesterday, that he believed sirgl® Southern State would be recon- ! reconstructed as often as it was | _jgn r 7 to secure two-thirds majority for the Raisin Congress; and there was no audacity ^ ^the party would not be guilty to secure : ;Sted control of the government The Bald- ^3 niggers are up to the work. ■ u pr- Sr-PEEJT.

SioEors nr the Savannah Post Omen—The ••jT&nnah Sews learns that negro clerks of the •isicistrative color have been installed in the ^ronsab post-office, by order from headqoar- ,_ ri jhe News is indignant, and pronounces "»tu insult to the people of Savannah. Well, it ^ tot an insult as the administration compre- ■ sJ matters. It may be questioned whether, a their judgment, a single corn-field negro is -•worth more than all the white men, women jjsJ children in Georgia put together. We see •kid the Republican that ODly one of the lawful tolor has been appointed—L. B. Toomer—who bubeen assigned to the department of General Delivery, so as to be kept prominently before tic people. „ An. Right.—The roving Congressional Com mittee of Ways and Means, after a protracted dimination, at San Francisco, of the respective merits of Champagne, California native wine, Hivana cigars and Kentucky whisky, “express aiisfaction with the management of Federal iffiirson this coast" It's ‘‘a-1-1 r-i-g-h-t” there as seen through a sine glass or the bottom of a decanter. The committee is better natnred in their cups than Stiggings was. He saw it “a-1-1 w-w-w-r-o-n-g!” Tnrrr.T Hints fob the Gabden.—We are in debted to the Columbns Sun and Times for the following timely hints: Now is the time for oar gardeners to sow cabbage for winter use.— Sow rnta baga turnips to make up for July de, icienties. Plant Irish potatoes for winter use. Fall moon in this month, sow red top and fiat dutch turnips. Other varieties of seeds may also be planted fids month. Procure good seeds and take advantage of the seasons. A good garden is half a living as well as a resource of great convenience. Josrra Finnegan & Co.—Refer to our adver- tisement columns for the card of Joseph Finne gan A Co., Cotton Factors and Commission Mer. chants, Bay street, Savannah. The gallant Gen eral and associates have been doing business since the war and we hope his success is as marked in the arts of peace as it was in the roder and more stirring field of Bellona. Faosi Upfeb Jones.—A subscriber from the neighborhood of Blonntsville in the northeas tern part of Jones county, represents crops in his region as very poor. They have suffered terribly from drought. Com is almost a total failure and cotton is small and unpromising. August 4—Evening, 1869.} The wholesale and jobbing trade of the city has been unusually quiet and dull for the week ending Ibis evening, and the general features of the mar ket are about the same as on the date of our last weekly review. .* The money market is working tighter almost dai ly, owing to the scarcity at the banks and the waning in of funds to make up a good showing for the last month of summer. A1 paper is accommodated to a limited extent, however, and we see no serious em barrassment to the ordinary operations in legitimate channels of business and trade. The stock and bond market continues almost lifeless, and qnotations toll all we know about it: Flour dull ; low grades scarce: superfine 5 75; double extra 6 37 ; treble extra 6 62.

The market has been quiet the whole of the last week, and nothing save the decline in com and the advance in bacon has transpired worth reporting. Com has fallen off since the date of our last weekly review about 10 cents per bushel, while ba con has advanced—bog round—about 1 cent per pound. The demand for country hams in this mar ket is now spirited and a choice article would bring 23 cents. Other articles quiet and unchanged.

It is true that there is some disaffection among our people in re gard to the selection of the Laboratory as the place for bolding the Fair, on account of the unsatisfac tory and unsettled condition of affairs in relation to the property. They think it would be better to select some other site for holding the Fair, and about which there is no dispute of titles, and npon which the General Government, Gen. Howard, or any other man have no claims; but they should re member that the Executive Committee of the Agri cultural Society are now limited in their expendi tures to only the few thousand dollars that have been subscribed, and which are wholly inadequate to purchase such grounds and erect such buildings for holding the Fair, as its great importance demands. And further, the Executive Committee have not the time, between this and the 16th of November, to erect substantial, durable and com modious buildings, even if they had the funds in hand with which to do it, and the present arrange ment is, therefore, clearly the beat that can now possibly be made. The Laboratory furnishes the necessary buildings and the grounds are ample for the purpose, neither requiring a very large expen diture of money to place them in order. And when it is further considered, that the prospects are good for a permanent transfer of the property to the Ag ricultural Society, wo can no longer see any soiid ob jection to the action of the Executive Committee, in immediately carrying out their proposed plans, and there is, really, no longer any solid grounds for withholding from them a prompt and liberal sup port s* 15% 22 © 30 @ 43 @ 10 @ 9 1 50 2 00 26 33 45 12% 40 @ SO @ 80 @ 25 @ 22%@ 16 @ 65 @ 0 2 00 @ 2 50 50 40 40 27 20 70 Increase in 1869.; $1,363,803 These are all small counties. Asdt Johnson in a Scrimmage.—The Stokes Radicals set npon Andy Johnson and his crowd at Marysville last Monday, and a good many knock-downs and drag-outs followed; but Andy and his friends stood np to the work—whipped the Stokes men into civility, and then talked them to death.

Ms. Peabodt.—The Augusta Chronicle and Sentinel understands that this gentleman, whose monetary contribution in thecanse of education *nd the relief of the poor have won for him so much fame, will visit Georgia the coming fall. He desires to witness for himself the results of tis liberality. Sea Guxxs in Augusta.—There must have teen a stormy time seaward, says the Chronicle of Tuesday. Flocks of sea galls have been seen passing OTer the city for the past two or three 3sys, and several have been shot by our amateur sportsmen. These bircts are “curiosities of Na- tuie" in these parts. A Large Green Turtle.—The Columbus Sun says: The daddy of all the green turtles arrived in tbiq city yesterday, from Florida.— He weighs 5CS pounds, and is the largest ever brought here, we believe. We learn from the Southern Banner that a col ored girl, about fifteen years old, living with Hurett Weaver, near Bowersville, in Hart conn- *7, about two weeks ago gate birth to five chib- deth within the 6pace of three days. All the children were still-born, and it was thought that Hw girl would die.' Alabama Election.—There seems to be a chance thst tho Democrats have divided, at least even, with the negroes in Alabama, and accrued three members of Congress.

F.—The Grand Encampment of tho In dependent Order of Odd Fellowship in the State of Georgia, met at the Odd Fellows' Hall in this city on Tuesday last, and after the transaction of much other important bueiness, elected the following offi cers for the next year: M. B. Rogers, of Macon, M. W. Grand Patriarch. C. A. Bobbe, of Augusta, M. E. Grand High Priest E. M. Clark, of Columbus, R. W. Grand Senior Warden. J. H. Josey, of Griffin. B. W. Grand Junior War den. ^ S. W. Grubb, of Atlanta, R. W. Grand Scribe. John W. Burke, of Macon, B. W. Grand Treas urer. George B. Barker, of Macon, B. W. Grand Rep resentative. We leam that the different Encampments of the State were well represented here in the Grand En campment The body was presided over by F. A. Lantznester, of Lnmpkin, Ga., the M. W. Chief Patriarch, George N. Nichols, being absent. In his report on Tuesday, Grand Representative Haupt, alluding to the rapid growth of Odd Fellow ship in this country, stated that— ‘•From the Grand Secretary's report it appears that the number of initiations during the year was forty thousand. Increase in the number of subor dinate Lodges, three hundred. Total number of Lodges, thirty-two hundred. Members in good standing, two'hun'dred and fifty thousand. Receipts 82.350,000. Expended for relief, 8750,000. The unparalleled growth of the Order daring the year ending 30th June, 1869, is a matter for univer sal congratulation.” The B. W. Grand Lodge of the Order of the State met at 9 o’clock, in their Hail yesterday morning, nearly or quite all of the various lodges being rep resented. After transacting much business of importance to the fraternity of the State, the Grand Lodge proceeded to the election of officers, which resulted as follows: S. W. Mangham, Lodge No. 20, M. W. Grand Master. ‘ J. T. Thomas, No. 9, B. W. Deputy Grand Master. F. A. Lantznester, No. 44. R. W. Grand Warden. J. G. Deitz, No. 1, B. W. Grand Secretary. T. A. Burke, No. 2, B. W. Grand Treasurer. The Grand Master elect, having taken the chair, then proceeded to appoint and install the following: J. M. Bloodworth, No. 20, W. G. Marshal. M. Buiee, No. 28, W. G. Conductor. J. W. Burke, No. 2, W. G. Chaplain. B Lawenthal, No. 5, W. G. Herald. The next annual meeting of the R. W. Grand Lodge of the State will take place at Griffin, Ga, We were unable to obtain a fuller report of the proceedings than the foregoing, and thank Mr. Geo B. Barker for fnnishing us with even that mneb. Open Cotton—Several open bolls of cotton have been received in the city within the last few days. Mr. H. A. Tarver, of Baker county, sent in an open boll as early as the Slst ult., and accompanying it he stated that he could pick a bale from the patch from which he took the boll, but it would scarcely be worth the trouble to do so. He is evidently not anxious to send the first bale of the new crop to this market. Fink Grapes.—If anybody believes that fine grapes cannot be raised in this section, they can get their infidelity knocked higher than a kite, by call ing at T. W. Freeman’s Cherry street, and examin- jng a lot of this elegant fruit, of the “Concord” va riety, raised by CoL John Rutherford, near this city. Another heavy shower cf rain fell in this section yesterday afternoon. It rains regularly every day hereabouts, and if it continues to do so much longer it will min the growing cotton. Already we hear planters expressing serious apprehensions in regard to the injmy they are sustaining from the vast amount of nun that is falling. Fine Live Stock.—Mr. Bob Sims, the old reliable live stock dealer, has a lot of very choice horses for sale in this city, at Holmes Lively Stable, cppoBite the passenger shed. He will also have in a few days about fifty of the celebrated Berkshire pigs, from Bourbon county, Ky. Refer to the advertise ment. From Clayton, Henry ana Fayette. Jonesboro, Ga., August 4,18G9. Editors Telegraph—It is a mistake when you say all of Georgia has had plenty of lain. A portion of this (Clayton), and a portion of Hen ry and Fayette counties, have not had a rain to wet the ground in seven weeks, and the upland com will be very poor. The cotton has aljp stopped growing. A large portion of this sec tion, however, has been blessed with good rain, and the crops are very promising—especially where fertilizers have been used. The wheat and oats were fine. Respectfully, Hanes. T. C. NISBET S f i MACOX, JSTEAR. PASSENGER.

The Cast Iron Screw I bought of you last fall gives entire satisfaction. I commenced packing my crop without weighing in tho cotton, thinking that 500 pound* was being put in; but when I came to sell my cotton the baes weighed from 600 to 805 pound* Isold the cotton to Swatts & Brown, at Barnesville, and anyone doubting the weightcan be famished th receipts from the above parties. I have been farming all my life, and bare used many different Screws, bu this one is the best I ever saw. In packing my crop I never used but one mule.

I am satisfied that it will do more work in the same time, and with much more ease, than the old wood screw, and that it is ten times as durable. You will allow me, at the same time, to recommend your horse.powor as a valuable gower to gin cotton. Yours respectfully. JOHN . PERRY, JUNE 21,1869. ■ Dear Sir:—I am using one of your 4in.

A great advantage this Preea possesses, is that it occupies for hand, power only a space or tomtevn feet square, and may be placed and operated in the Gm House, thus avoiding the ca-aeEity of taking cotton cut of be house to be packed. It can be used in any kind of weather; the. Press being in the house, rainy days a*ebo obstacle to packing, as is the oue With wooden screws. Another advantage is when you get Schofield’s Pre*c, you have a Press for all time, and one not liable to decay or breakage, as is the ca-e with the old wooden screws, and most other iron screws and presses This is evident from the fact that the screw is iron, either wrought or cast, and the frames are of wrought iron, and no part of the Press liable to decay touches the ground. The frames may be made of wood, at the option of the planter. Planters may purchase either the screw andnut alone, and pat the frame and box of wood to it themselves, or may purchase the screw, nut and iron frames, and pot the wooden box to it, or they may pnrchaee the Press complete, with screw, nut, iron frames and box t making the most com plete Press in use. Presses complete, as last named, arc in more general u*e, and gtve great satiefaction to all parties using them, as will bo seen from letters in my possession. Parties in need of Cotton Presses would, do well to call, if passible, and examine mine; or if they should favor me with their order, they may rely upon getting a Press that Uati I c aim for it. • Having the most extensive Iron Works in the city, and the greatest variety «f patterns of all kinds, I am able to furnish parties with any kind of machinery or castings at short notice. j.0. aogorxBiiP.
