Mr. Watson, United States Deputy Marshal, informs us that there is no authority in any one, except the United States Marshal, W. H. Smyth, in whose possession the Laboratory property is, to transfer it to any one. Having been libeled as “forfeited property,” the Marshal expects to sell it on the first Tuesday in December next. In the meantime, the Attorney General has in formed him that he can allow the Society to use said property for purposes of the Fair, upon their giving the Marshal an obligation to be re sponsible for aU damages U> the property, whilst in their control; the Society at the same time having no right to remove any permanent im provements they may make; but temporary ones may be taken away. Mr. Watson further states that he has handed to Dr. Culver a statement of these conditions, upon which the State Agricultu ral Society will be placed in temporary possession of the property, upon executing an obligation to comply with them. The question now arises whether the society should accept the building upon these condi tions. We understand that a very considerable outlay iu windows, etc., must be made upon the building, involving an expense of several thousand dollars—all of which will be forfeited to the legion of bummers who are said to have claims of some sort—discovery—pointing out— libelling it—and so on, which they intend to satisfy by a writ of venditioni exponas—tend they swear that neither President nor Congress p-bnll chouse them out of their stealings—nor even the “aged and infirm niggers,” unless they come down with their dust handsomely, at a regular Marshal’s sale. We have he^rd that the sainted Howard expects many a thou sand out of the laboratory, as he is one of the chaps thnt “pointed it out." We say, then, that it appears to ns, at this writing, that we should never give such bond or obligation; but drop the laboratory and start at once to putting up the needful buildings on the city property down by the river. Wo sub mit, however, to the wisdom of tho Executive Committee. Spain and Cuban Independence. For several days wo have had reports tele graphed from London that negotiations between the United States and Spain were in progress, by which tho war would be stopped and the in dependence of Cuba secured. To-day we have a telegram of tho same character from Madrid, and the naval movements indicate that some thing is going on. Therefore, wo entertain no doubt that the struggle in Cuba is substantially over—that the United States have bought the island for a moderate sum, under cover of a purchase by tho patriot Cubans, and the ever faithful isle will, in the course of a brief time, be enfolded in the loving embrace of the great radical anaconda of North America. It is said that the patriots prefer isolation and indepen dence, but they are not strong enough either to secure or maintain them, and they must inevi tably be annexed. The acquisition of Cuba is the most serious step in that lino ever yet undertaken by our Government; because it stops over the natu ral boundary of the high seas,and,by taking one of a numerous group of islands, commits itself to a foreign colonial policy, which must, in its ultimate results, very seriously revolutionize the whole administrative character of the Govern ment. It will necessitate large fieets and heavy garrisons. We have heard army officers say that a force of fifty to sixty thousand men would be necessary to garrison Cuba alone. In time of foreign war it will vastly increase the ex pense of the public defence, and, at all times, augment greatly the expense and difficulty of the revenue service. With such an immense seaboard to guard as these West India Islands will go to make up, it seems to ns the day of exorbitant tariff revenues must cease. But the acquisition of Cnba will add about sixty millions to Northern trade, and Mr. Span iard will stare at the swarms of Yankee adven turers, who will throng his island with their various devices to prey upon his substance. Caterpillar from Dougherty. Macon, Ga., August 5, 1869. Editors Telegraph: Accompanying this, we send you a vial containing one cotton leaf and two caterpillars. This was brought by Mr. Wilson, Agent for Mr. Orr, on his plantation in Dougherty county. Very respectfully, Lawton & Lawton. Northern Immigration.—The Chronicle and Sentinel says, notwithstanding the warm season, Northern men are in our midst seeking invest ments and homes. Yesterday Mr. S. T. Pom eroy, of Cortland, New Yokr, purchased part of the DeLaigle property from Messrs. L. & A. H. McLaws. * We understand that two Cuban sugar planters are also in the city seeking investment in lands. Piuce op Coal.—Tho great stir just now, in New York, is the advance in coal, which is from nine to eleven dollars a ton. Congress having put a heavy duty on foreign coal, Halifax is shut out, and the coal masters are also masters of the situation. The time when people ex pected to get a living by fair profits and honest industry hit gone fay, in the North, at least. Accident on the Atlantic and Gulp Railroad A lad by tod name of Thomas Edward Breen, was killed dt No. 8, Atlantic and Gulf Railroad, on Monday. He fell off of a car load of lumber and the wheels crushed his head. A Bright, Warm Day.—Yesterday was a bright, warm day, without rain—a first-rate cotton day. Col. Malone, of this city, says the Amcrious Courier, of the 5th, informs us that he has re ceived a letter from his overseer iu Baker oounty, informing him that there is no doubt of the caterpillar being in that section. Tlie Alabama Election. The recent election in Alabama seems to have excited little or no interest among the people.— The fact is, the people don’t care much who goes to Congress. And we may go further, and say that nothing but mere motives of self in terest will ever drive the Southern people again to the polls to squeeze a ballot in edgeways through a press of two. or three hundred or as many thousand sooty Africans, reeking with all the odors of the civet cat. To protect themselves from fraud and oppres sive taxation, and to secure a Government which they can live under at all, will urge the unwill ing white voters to the ballot, now and then, when these issues are shaiply presented; but when it comes to electing Congressmen to main tain a dubious strife with rampant Radicalism in Congress, it is extremely doubtful whether the Southern whites, as a mass, will ever be brought up to the scratch and induced to spend a good part of a day in squeezing through a ne gro mob to get their ballot into the box. Most of the whites who voted in East Ala bama this time seem to have waited patiently till the negroes had “done voted” as much as they wanted to, and dispersed—which made it late in the day. From long before the opening of the polls, the blacks hold undisputed posses sion of most of them and kept it till towards evening. It was, we have no donbt, a perfect travesty on a fair election. The Montgomery papers say that tho Probate Judge of that county, who had previously issued orders to the election managers to receive the ballots of none whose names did not appear on the registry lists, and accompanied these orders with printed lists, countermanded them during the day and direct ed the managers to receive the votes of all who presented themselves. He found the negroes were not turning out as he expected, and it was necessary to do a little staffing. But the effect of all such proceedings as these, and the debasement of the suffrage, only increases the intense disgust for politics among tho intelligent people. They will hardly he per suaded to vote except upon the most pressing motives of self-protection, and where the whites show no interest in the ballot, the eagerness for it among the negroes will soon abate; and this is probably the explanation of the falling off in the negro vote of Alabama. The fact is there is an intense disgust of poli ties and politicians among the Southern people. They have transferred all tho interest they once felt in these subjects to agriculture and trade, and not one newspaper reader in a dozen can be betrayed into reading a political article. They have learned to look upon their Govern ments, State and National, such as they are, as evils they must endure, and the best they hope from them is that their oppressions may not becomo absolutely intolerable, and drive them to starvation and ruin. Few of them antici pate any improvement, or think it possible un der existing conditions. The only chance left for an amelioration in the situation lies in the profits of industry, and the products of tho soiL They are striving to secure themselves against penury and want, and this is the ambition of the period. We have no doubt that if the Northern Radicals and negroes could give secu rity for a fair government, half the Southern whites would not care to vote again. Burglaries—The Newnan People’s Defender complains of frequent burglaries in that place and attributes them to an organized band of ne groes. The Supreme Court got as far as No. G, Chat tahoochee Circuit, on “Wednesday. The Memphis Appeal intimates that the sub scriptions towards the Chinese immigration scheme set on foot by thelate convention do not come in as rapidly as expected. Of $100,000 necessary to make up the capital of the society, however, §00,000 had been subscribed up to the 21st. |t| A pasty of seven Sisters of Charity came pas sengers from France to New York on Tuesday, in the steamship Ville de Paris. They are said to be the first installment of a hundred or more who have been sent for to aid the Catholic mis sions in their now rapidly extending work along the line of the Pacific Railroad. Rose Hersee, who is coming to this country to sing in Parepa’s English Opera Troupe, will make her debut in “Somnambula.” She is to have $300 a week salary, in gold, all her travel ing expensed, and a private carriage. She is said to be young and beautiful and a brilliant vocalist, too. The once celebrated but almost useless Thames Tunnel, being required, for the Rest London Railway “Works, has been closed for traffic. The Cotton Supply. The New York Herald is talking to the Brit ish Cotton Supply Association about the folly of their new efforts, at large expense, to stimulate the growth in India. These efforts have al ready resulted in starving about two millions of the Hindostanese, but they are of little value. The Herald says: But however much the quantity has been in creased or the quality improved, England cannot do without American cotton. Nowhere in the world can onr beautiful long staple be produced, as far as is yet known except in America. Natare has settled that question. The semi- tropical climate of the Southern States and the influence of the Gulf Stream, which brings the necessary showers of rain to stimulate the growth of the annual plant, make a certain ielt in this country peculiarly adapted to its cultivation. And even here cotton cannot be profitably produced in the same degrees of lati tude beyond the infiuenco of the Gulf Stream as in the most western portions of Texas or the territory west of Arkansas. Unless the British can find another Gulf Stream and the same climatic conditions that are found in onr Southern States, will never be able to compete with ns in cotton production. Cotton can be grown in almost any warm climate, but not of the quality we produce, nor with the same certainty of a crop. It is a question of climate more than of labor or capital. Irriga tion, as in Egypt, may do something. and the occasional floods of rain in India may be utilized, but nowhere is there the necessary alternate showers and warm sunshine as in the cotton belt of the United States. Since the supply has been cut off in part from this country, the cotton manufacturers of Eu rope have been changing their machinery to suit the short staple article of India and other coun tries ; but we advise them not to spend money unnecessarily in this way. From this time forth they may expect a larger supply from tho Uni ted States. The planters of the South have surely passed the period of their poverty caused by tho war, and they will have capital enough to extend their planting operations. Tho labor of that section, which was disorganized and unre liable from the same cause, is becoming organ ized and reliable. Besides, there will be within a short time a great influx of Chinese laborers, as well as of European and Northern emigrants, to increase the production. Within three or four years, probably, there will be as large or a larger crop of cotton raised than in any year before the war. The British manufacturers, therefore, need not be alarmed, or spend large sums of money uselessly in India or elsewhere. With regard to the American planters, this news from England of the urgent demand for their staple is most encouraging. They arc sure to realize from this year’s crop a high price, and abundant means to increase the area of cultivation next year. Indeed, there is every reason to believe that the South, so poor and depressed from the war, will soon become again the richest part of the country. With the ma terial and social improvement of the Southern ers, they will soon be relieved from all political disabilities. The memories of the war will dio out, and we shall have peace and prosperity throughout the land. Lot them go on, then, as thoyho-ro been going, prudently, quietly, and attending to their material interests, and they need have no tear that their rich soil and beauti ful country will not soon make them more pros perous and wealthy than even. In a material, if not in a political sense, cotton will become king again. Another Fatal Mistake by a Druggist. The Columbus Enquirer mentions the death of Mrs. Pickett of Girard under very painful cir cumstances : Dr. Terry prescribed for her a dose of sub- nitrate of bismuth as a check to diarrhoea. Mr. Pickett took the prescription to a drug store, obtained the medicine as he thought, for it was labelled sub-nit. bismuth, and administered it to his wife. She immediately complained of a burning sensation, and soon frothed at the month. He husband, in alarm, hurried^over to see the Doctor, who, learning the effect of the dose, knew that some mistake had been commit ted, and repaired with Mr. Pickett to the drug store. They there ascertained, to their horror and dismay, that the medicine had been taken from a bottle of corrosive sublimate! Tho la bel of the bottle was indistinct, and the time was near dusk, which circumstances mode it more easy to commit such a mistake. We learn that the greater part of the word “corrosive” on the label had been defaced by the caustic action of the contents of the bottle. Dr. Terry told Mr. Pickett to hurry back and make Mrs. P. swallow a number of r|w eggs. The Doctor himself followed as fast as the first vehicle ho found could carry' him. But alas! the fatal dose had done its terrible work but too surely. They found Mrs. Pickett in the agonies of death, and she expired within about one hour after tak ing the poison, The Boston Post Bays “Fish’s toruous course in the cable matter shows him plaintly to be an electrioeeL” . S-„; .i '.-' * . Letter Irom.New York, New York, July 29, 1869. Editors Tdegraph : On leaving Macon some days since, I promised to send you such jottings of people, places and events as I might gather by the wayside. Spending one day in Savannah I remarked considerable activity in business for the summer season and extensive preparations for a heavy fall and winter trade. I expected, however, to find a large business done in the way of ship ping fruit North, but on the contrary was in formed that the luxuriously living people of the Forest City usually keep the market exhausted. Large shipments of water-melons, however, are being made, which readily bring from a dollar to a dollar and a half in this city,which price, after a large margin for breakage, stealage and freight, must make a very fair profit. Among the most genial of Savannah’s citizens, I met CoL Thompson, the editor of the News, whom all fun loving people of onr State will re member having met in the character of “Major Jones” in “Major Jones’ Courtship.” Miss ‘Mary Stallings,” I found in the person of the Colonel’s wife. Though advanced in life, with children and grand-children around them, their hearts are as young and fresh as over. Good luck to them! The concentration of tho cotton trade at Sa vannah, as well as its being the distributing point for largo amounts of fertilizers, grain, &c., re quired for the Southern trade, is rapidly making it the commercial city of Georgia, and inducing many from the interior of Georgia, Florida and Alabama, to seek their homes and fortunes there. By the Rapidan, with pleasant Captain Mal lary, we had a fair voyage along the coast. Th9 track of vessels sailing North, I find, lies inside of the gulf stream, and seldom more than sixty or seventy miles from land. At ten o’clock, the night of toe third day out, wo came in view of Long Branch, which looked very beautiful with its ten thousand vari-colored lights flashing over the water, where twenty or thirty thousand of Northern pleasure seekers, are generally found daring toe summer season. Long Branch is soon behind, and in the stillness of night we have arrived in the great city. On awaking in the morning, we find a dozen or so cabmen introducing themselves and want ing to carry you somewhere for five dollars, or other like liberal amount. I had been three days on sea, but these were toe first sharks I had met. New York is a considerable sized village, dif fering from other villages in this, that people here don’t seem to know or care about each other’s business—most villages are not this way. Serio—The city is still rapidly growing and improving—one of the first objects of my atten tion was a new street being cut directly through toe heart of toe city from Church street to toe Battery, through some eight or ten blocks of buildings from five to six stories high. It is claimed that toe necessities of trade require this immense destruction of property and expendi ture of money, though doubtless toe contractors, who are termed here suckers, are the principal beneficiaries. Swindling here, like every thing else, is done on a large scale; it is only too petty thieves and scoundrels who are frus trated. There are so many things worthy of note here that it is difficult to select what is most worth mentioning. Of toe fine buildings toe Park Bank i3 probably among the first—its vaults are inside of twenty feet of solid stone masonry, the exterior surface of whose walls is divided into fire hundred or more miniature safes about eight inches square. These are rented by merchants as places of deposit for in terest bearing bands and other valuable papers. These safes are accessible at all times to their proprietors, and are far more convenient than toe old method of deposit. Yesterday I'attended a Fulton street prayer meetiDgat the “Collegiate Reformed Protestant Dutch Church," where I copied from placards on its walls toe following notices: “Prayers and exhortations not to exceed five minntes in order to give aU an opportunity." “Not more than(2) two consecutive prayers or exhortations allowed. No controverted points discussed.” From which one Yould naturally infer that these people were very fond of praying and exhorting. “Wonder kow old Brother D. would fare under this rule ? Why tho good man would hardly get started before some one would call him to order. Everything here is high, but experience I find probably the most costly of all. A fellow not only has to pay a good deal for it, bntbas to buy it so often. This is a random letter, but as I am not here long enough yet to get well-organized, I send it without more excuse. J. U. S. Disturbance In Chesterfield District, South Carolina. The Cheraw Democrat, of the 30th nlL, pub lishes the following account of a serious distur bance that occurred recently at Mount Croghan, in that District: We regret to have to report a serious difficul ty in our District at the recent township election, but are glad to leam that our people were not responsible for it. Several statements have reached us, but toe following is toe best authen ticated and seemB most reasonable: During the progress of th6 election, a negro walked up to Archibald Nicholson, with demon strations of fight, and told him ho was going to whip him. Nicholson immediately went for his rifle, where he had deposited it, but it had been removed. He then advanced with his knife on toe negro, who ran and was pursued. At last the negro turned with a rail in his hand, and the fight began. While struggling with each other, another negro came up and struck Nicholson on the back of toe head with a gun, which put an end to that affair. John Nicholson, toe brother of Archibald, had followed on to prevent too fight if possible, and made every effort to do so. Ho was struck in the forebead with a rock, from some quarter not known, and while binding up his wound Archibald was there looking on. The young men at toe polls became exasperated at toe conduct of these negroes, and drove them away, but did not interfere with those who took no part in toe fracas. Archibald Nicholson, on his way home, complained of Ms hurt, which was not regarded as serious, and after he reached home died from its effects. Application was made for a warrant to arrest the negro who had killed Nicholson, but ho re fused it. On what ground he knew best, and will probably be required to inform toe Solicitor. During the excitement one of toe managers, Mr. R. S. Donaldson, ran off with some of toe ballot boxes, but brought them back again after toe excitement abated. This is another result of carpet-bag teaching. • A Monstrous Evil. Tho Hongkong Daily Press, of Jnne 1st, throws a new light upon toe question of toe im portation of Chinese women for the purposes of prostitution. It appears that a large proportion of these unfortunate females are kidnapped in China, and coni beta against their will, to be devoted to a life of shame. They are systemati cally inveigled from their homes in tho interior by cunning old hags—such as infest other conn- tries than CMna, and being taken to Hongkong are forced on board sMp, under terror of threats and intimidation. The Daily Press calls for colonial legislation on the subject, and suggests toe propriety of issuing a proclamation inform ing the girls (who are mostly ignorant of too law) that they may claim protection of toe au thorities. “Whatever action toe people of Hong kong may take in tois connection, it is certain that much of toe responsibility of this disgrace ful business rests upon those who knowingly permit toeir vessels to carry those kidnapped women. The Pacific Mail SteamsMp Company might check tois immigration materially by too exer cise of more caution in taking Chinese passen gers ; bnt even then it is probable that they would come by sailing vessels to some extent. Some months ago the heads of toe Chinese Companies expressed a determination to put an end to toe shameful traffic; and for a short time it seemed as though we had seen the last of it. But when toe public had forgotten toe matter a little emigration increased again, and, at present it is in full blast We beuevo the companies can stop it if they want to, and if they will not,, wo must take the matter into our own hands. The question is one which affects onr reputation as a Christian, civilized com munity—and now that we know how these un fortunate creatures are procured, we must lose no time in putting toe shameful business away from us. The Orientals travel with bar gold coin and jewels to pay their way in foreign lands, bank ing being very little of ah Eastern institution ; there, ore it is not so very wonderful, if curious* to hear that the Vioeroy of Egypt, to meet his expenditure in England, came furnished with twelve boxes of oak, bound with brass, each box being eighteen inches long, nine inches high, I and twelve in width, and containing: gold and notes. •••', * ,vfr . * ''Sm. i From Macon County. crops—freedmen's barbecue and the freed- , KEN..' i ■ . ““. Macon County, August 5, 1869. Editors Telegraph : Allow me a small place in your paper to make a few remarks upon affairs in this county. We have suffered severely from drought. Cbm and cotton arc badly damaged. Rust has made its appearance and some large cotton fields are almost a failure. The crops • have b6en well cultivated. The Freedmen have worked and behaved well, and we are getting along well with them. As few depredations are committed by them as when they were slaves. Wherever I go I see that : they are fixing up about toeir houses, and seem to understand that they have got to maintain a good character to get favors from white people. The Freedmen gave a barbecne at Hog Crawl Creek, with toe assistance of the whites on the 31st of July last, and invited the farmers around to partake with them. Several families were pres ent and they had a fine dinner. I made a speech on toe occasion and complimente d them for toeir faithfulness tois year, and industry and good be havior. I advised them to put down loafers and idlers, and then there would be no stealing as everybody would have plenty. That by eleva ting their own character, they would get credit and assistance from the white people, and they would ever find the Southern whites their best and most useful friends. That if they would lend their assistance to keep bad men out of office and put good men in, we would have good laws, and a prosperous country. The farmers represented at the dinner, were James Barklay, William Chapman, John and Bryant Thomas, James Lester, Dr. Dykes, N. A. Homady. Several freedmen made speeches aftefi dinner, upon social and religious topics. So toe day passed pleasantly off. N. A. H. sm: t elegbapHl Bloody Work In Camden. Camden County, Ga., July 31, 1809. Editor Savannah Republican : Sir : I write to give you toe particulars of a very unfortunate tragedy wMch occurred iu this county, on Wednesday last, July 28th. Two freedmen, Jnlins Jacobs and Edward Tison, in toe employ of the Norwich Lumber Company, went to toe log landing of Borwell A. Brown, a white man, on White Oak River, in tois county, for the purpose of rafting some mill logs which the said Brown had cut. While engaged in getting toe logs ready, Burwell A. Brown and his two sons, Simon and Barwell, appeared at toe landing, Simon armed with a double-barrel ed gun. An altercation at once took place be tween Jacobs and Burwell A. Brown in regard to a previous difficulty in which young Burwell Brown and Jacobs had been concerned. It is said that a struggle took place between Jacobs and Simon Brown, wMch resulted Jacobs getting a knife and- the gun from Simon, and that he threw away the knife and handed toe gun to Edward Tison, who was standing or sitting near, and who, up to that time, had taken no part whatever in the affair, telling Tison to keep tho gun at all haz ards, as if he gave it up to Brown he would be shot. Unfortunately Tison gave up the gun to Simon Brown, upon a promise that ho would not shoot. As soon as the gun was given up, Jacobs ran off, getting behind a building which stood near at hand. Burwell A. Brown caught the gun from Ms son Simon’s hands and tried to shoot Jacobs as he ran, but failing to do so, turned toe gun upon Tison, who had appre hended no danger to Mmself and immediately shot him dead on toe spot, toe charge entering his left side below the heart and passing entire ly through toe body. Meantime Jacobs had got some distance away, bnt not so far bnt that Brown succeeded in getting a shot at Mm, Mt- ting Mm with one buckshot on Ms right shoul der blade, inflicting a slight wound. Circum stances may transpire which will put a different aspect upon toe case, but so far it looks like a case of willful murder. A warrant for the arrest of Brown has been taken out. It is said thnt all toe parties were perfectly sober but that Jacobs was somewhat insulting in his language to Brown. The day after tho shooting, the affair was re ported at Satilla Mills by Jacobs, when some fifteen or twenty negroes, employed at toe Mil!p, armed themselves and proceeded up tho river to Verdon plantation, where Tison’s family be longed, intending to meet others there and take snmmary vengeance on Brown and his family. Tison’s family and two white men from Satilla Mills succeeded in dissuading them from tois design, however, and they turned back after reaching Vernon. As the foremost boat ap proached the dock at Satilla Mills, one of the negroes, named John Nelson, put out his hand to shove her off from some logs wMch she was running against, and by some means discharged Ms own gun, which was pointed towards him, and killed himself instantly, at the same time shooting “William Thomas through his left arm, just above the elbow. An inquest was held on the body of Nelson, at which too above fads transpired, A good deal of excitement exists among the negroes in regard to tois sad occur rence, bnt it is hoped that no evil consequences will result to the community. Should anytoing occur I will keep you informed. Very respectfully yours, Camden County. From Washington.

From Washington County. The Sandersville Georgian of tho 4th instant says of toe crop prospects in that region : Here in onr own county, farmers are giving toe finishing touch to the cultivation of the cot ton crop—plowing over the last time. We hear some glowing accounts from planters, as to toeir prospect. A gentleman told ns afow days since, that he felt confident of realizing fifty bushels of corn per acre from a portion of his crop. Another informs us that he would realize twen ty bushels to toe acre from a portion of his; and another, that Ms entire crop would average twelve bushels to the acre. None of these are wild calculators, but men of sound judgement and practical farmers. Yet with tois promised yield the crop has been damaged considerably by toe drought. The pork crop also bids fair to be unusually good. People have fewer hogs, give greater at tention and raise more and better meat, P. S.—Since writing tho above, we aro in formed that toe rust has appeared in several localities, and is doing serious injury to toe cotton. We trust it is not very extensive. Extraordinary Cropping.—The Georgian speaks of too farming of Mr. W. 0. Riddle, of that county, as follows: In toe first place, he spends no idle time, but devotes his leasnre days to preparation for the busy season. Hence his plantation is over in too most perfect trim. This year he has cul tivated—and we mean what we say—80 acres to the mule, and but for too drought it is tho opin ion of experts, would have made 500 bales of cotton on 500 acres of land. His mules aro now in good keeping, not overworked, his hands toe same. We call attention-to this as som^^ing of a tribute to deserved worth, and hoping that it may stimulate others to strive to do likewise. Mr. Biddle’s lands aro naturally no better than others, and his success is owing to toe earnest attention given Ms business. Impending Judgments Predicted— Earthquakes, Tornadoes aud Dis asters Foretold. I From the Paducah Kentuckian, 2&th. A short distance from tois city there has long resided an old gentleman of most estimable character and more than ordinary religious feel ing. On numerous occasions his singular pre science of events has startled Ms friends und persons skeptical of what their senses could not comprehend. “Two weeks ago, this gentleman being in Ms usuaI health, .'predicted, approach ing' earthquakes and' disasters of the most tremendous character, and concluded his rove-, lation by tho announcement that they would know Mm to be a true prophet from this, that ho himself would certainly die exactly at four o’clock, on Thursday, July 22<L Anxiously tho friends awaited the hour thus 'designated— thinking that it might be a hallucination that deception would cure, they set the clock for ward, but iu vain, for exactly at four o'clock on last Thursday, the prophet breathed Ms last. The event has caused a profound sensation among a wide circle of people in this section and many are in painful apprehension of coming disasters. Another circumstance has strength ened toeir fears. It seems that Miss Caroline Godsey, the champion sleepist who Las scarcely been awake for fourteen years, and after suc cessful exhibitions in many places, died recently near Hickman, just previous to her death made similar predictions of coming disasters and earthquakes. When tho shock occurred on Sun day night and when-bright blazing moHors, ap parently as large as the moon, and with an effulgence rivalling that of toe son, lighted up this section of the country on two successive nights, there was profound alarm, but as yet the skies are as bright, the waters as unruffled, the i air as balmy and as genial, aud all nature .as lovely as at any ti ne within our i(.-collection. “. mim From Mississippi. Jackson, August 6.—The Clarion, to-day, pub lishes an address to toe people of Mississippi, signed by ono hundred and thirty-eix gentlemen of the old Whig and Democrat schools, representing nearly every county in tho State. They advise that tho people should support the National Union Re publican party, and vote for the ticket they present, assured that it will be composed of gentlemen ac tuated by conservative and patriotic principles.— Yield no cold formal support, but active, zealous and faithful—taking Virginia as toeir example in the coming contest, and assuring toe people that tho party sustains tho views of President Grant and the Congressional plan of reconstruction. The National Union Republican party have called a Nominating Convention, to assemble on toe 8th of September, in tois city. Violent Eruption in Kansas. Leavenworth, August 5.—At a meeting of toe Land League, on neutral lands, speeches were made by Hon. Sydney Clarke, and others. Resolu tions woro unanimously passed denouncing James F. Joy and the Senate of toe United States, asking Ross and Pomeroy to resign, and cutting loose from the Republican party and forming a new inde pendent State Central Committee. Senator Pome roy was burned in effigy. Shooting Affair in South Carolina. Augusta, August 5.—There is a report from Edgefield, South Carolina, that Charles and J. D. Creswell, who left this city yesterday, were shot this morning near Edgefield, the former being Jailed instantly and the latter seriously, if not mortally, wounded. The affair was of an entirely private ar.lure, and is alleged to have grown out of family 1 roubles. - . .• From Tennessee.

The opposition to CMnese immigration is as suming form and shape. The Honorable Sec retary of toe Treasury informs toe officials of tho New Orleans Cnstom-honse that the coolie trade is nothing more nor less than the slave trade in disguise. Now, we Are as sincerely, and as honestly opposed to slavery in every form as the Honorable Secretary or as the blatant fa natics who kindled toe flames of civil war which desolated the land for four years, but we do not believe in this clamor of toe fanatics, or in toe wisdom of that enactment of the Thirty-seventh Congress, which would prevent toe free and vol untary immigration into these States of any people whatever. “When toe farmers of the Y/cst, who are now forced to pay the exorbitant amount of three dollars and fifty cents per diem to'the harvest-hands or lose in the wheat crop tho toil of a year, come to know they can pro cure docile, frugal, industrious laborers for a term of five years, at the rate of ten dollars per month, when the planters of toe South find they can be restored to more than their former pros perity by toe substitution of Mongol for slave labor, and when the artisans of the country come to understand that through too employ ment of these people the cost of living will be materially reduced—they will cease to listen to these brawling fanatios and demagogues, and sweep them away as a lion does vermin from Ms mane.—JV. Y. Turf, Fidd and Farm. Weather, Crops and Health.—Rato, rain ; every day we have rain, and on Monday- had what is called here, a “lightwood-knot floater.

Health of the country 1 'still ^oist—Eiiu-sofi Jouf^d^^hr' ' X Another 'Letter from Major Madison Bell. From the Atlanta fnteUiffcncer.'i 1 Atlanta, Ga:,, July 28,1869. The controversy between toe'State Treasurer and myself has not been sought or desired by me, but, on the contrary, I have endeavored, by eyery means that honor and self respect would justify,’to avoid it. This controversy first grew oat of a correspondence between toe Governor and tois Office, elicited by a note of inquiry from the former. In my reply, I stated that I had not approved warrants drawn upon a fund -that was exhausted, ox-warrants drawn, upon tho wrong fund, or drawn when there was no appropriation to meet them. My reply was oouched in as respectful language as I could command, and even exhibited a scrupulous ab stinence from any discourteous allusions to the action or motives of toe Treasurer, whatever.— His first effort was to prove that my answers to the Governor’s interrogatories were not tfue.but having failed to do tois, his subsequent effusions are a mixture of reckless assertions and personal invective, wMch I do not propose to notice, but as the Treasurer sets himself up to be toe only officer who confines himself within legal bounds, I do propose to exdibit some of Ms inconsisten cies, and to show that his actions have not been in accordance with his profession And, as he has taken the liberty to deal so unsparingly with what he affects to consider the motives that have prompted my official action in the prem ises, he will pardon me if I take a slight retro spect of his own. He referred to my approv al of warrants drawn on the Printing Fund to pay for advertising Exeoutive proclamations, orders, etc., as proof of his charge that I had approved warrants drawn on “a fund specially appropriated and restricted to some other pur pose.” The vindication of my course in tMs matter is before toe public, and it is not neces sary to repeat it. But what will the public think when I utter toe assurance that tois im maculate' Treasurer paid these warrants with out a murmur down to as recent a period as toe 8th of December, 1868, and that I can prove what I say by Ms own report, which I now have before me? On page 17 of ■ this report, under toe head of “Printing Fund of 1868,” I ob serve toe first warrant,- No. 304, in favor of Dr. Samuel Bard, “for advertising Governor’s proclamations to July 24, 1868, $149 00.” Then follows forty-seven more warrants for toe same species "of service, and drawn on toe same fund, running through a period of nearly four months, and for a sum of money amounting in the ag gregate, to over six thousand five hundred dol lars. “Where were his scruples then, and with all his boasted knowledge and -legal acumen, why had ho not discovered during that period of nearly four months, that it was a violation, of law to pay such warrants ? ■ Why has he not explained to the public, wM!e endeavoring to fix the approval of such warrants on me as a crime, as a conspiracy to rob toe Treasury, how it is that he was a participant in toe same crime by paying forty-seven of those illegal war rants, amounting to the sum of six thousand five hundred dollars? Let him also explain how it happened that he became so suddenly enlightened as to toe law, and so scrupulously conscientious as to stop the payment of such warrants just about the tone he had a rupture with the Governor. Plain, unsophisticated people would regard tois as rather a singular coincident, at least, and all fair-minded, unprejudiced men would like to have it explained. Can it possibly be that as long as toe Treasurer was on friendly terms with the Governor he was willing to unite in the “conspiracy,” and participate in a violation of the law, bnt as soon as a breech occurred between them he changed Ms course, not for the sake of the law, but for the purpose of an noying the Governor by dishonoring his war rants ? He was either ignorant of the law and his duty as a public officer, as he now professes to understand them, or he knowingly and crim inally violated too law (for it stood then pre cisely as it does now), and in either case he should come to the confessional and make an atonement for Ms error before he arraigns an-1 other officer before the public for approving the forty-seven warrants that'he paid. In his last communication, wMch appeared in tho Era of toe 27th instant, he.again refers to my approval of warrants in favor of additional clerks in the Executive office, and triumphantly asks, “Where is hjs authority for departing from law, and letting toe Governor’s sense of pressure 4 g.^df800i kfttar half tiiil the. civil e-ppropriai aame clerk, was 3 drew the $500 a; tor his services year 1868. ^ J Thj( Treasurer coUmsfife severe!, ... ud«£on tostthad nought Governor m tasiapjflimion ofthe^ fund, and attempted show, by quoU?^ the Oode that it waaffiy- tortyto counts, and allow or reject them hTr ^ aro submitted to the Governor ! not show that I have the right to SL?* 5 * fund out of wMch they shall be I have audited and allowed, or account that has ever been presented^ if I have not done this in case of all ^ that have been paid, it was because fh have hot presented them.

So it geen^ he wants to get money he does not waitl!' regular routine wMch he now insists tV .“ public creditors shall follow, at least h» £ wait in the instance referred to. ’ - ° “ In conclusion, .1 would, remark that u have said during my controversy with t'.eT- urer, I have dealt with him in his official a ty, and it has been my purpose to avoid s alities. Being attacked, I considered it »j<t duty to defend my: official course, and the and dignity of too Comptroller General’s This was due .to too public, for whose 1 toe office I hold should be administered ther than this it has not been my intention and with this I bid toe Treasurer affieu-a for the present.

The reporter left perfectly satisfied. The Genuine Simmons 1 Medicine vs. Iniitaiml be Ms rale of action ?” X do not notice this point now with toe view of again vindicating my action in the premises—tois I have already done in former communications. But I do so for toe purpose of again showing up the Treas urer’s inconsistency by introducing Ms own official acts. I find, by reference to toe record, that warrant No. 149, in favor of N. L. Angier, for $882 55, drawn on the 7th section of toe Ap propriation act of 1S68, “for stationery, printing, etc.,” was approved and entered on toe 20to of January, 1869. Then again, I find that warrant No. 107, in favor of the same, for stationery, exchange, telegrams, express charges, etc., and ,1 4“* drawn on-toe 23d section of toe Appropriation Act of 1869, was approved and entered on the 19th of Jnly, I860.

Why was it not- as-lawful to pay toe warrant of Mr. Conley, the State Libra rian, drawn upon toe same 23d section, for postage stamps, diayage, etc., for the use of; his office, and for which ho had advanced toe cash out of his own funds ? His warrant was in every respect similar to your own, yet you refused to pay it because it was drawn on toe 23d section. Let it be understood that tlja 7to section of toe act of 1868 and 23d section of toe act of 1869 are toe same in substance. If it was contrary to law to pay Mr. Conley’s war rant, where is the authority, Mr. Treasurer, for paying your own? “What excuse have you for breaking tho law in your own favor, and recog nizing it. when the interests .of others aro in volved? I ought to mention,-in passing, that Conley’s warrant, was only for $41.30, while yours (the last named) was for $785.40. But again: The Treasurer has arraigned me for approving warrants for extra service, and goes out of his way to allude specially to a war rant in favor of my brother, wMch he styles as being of “doubtful propriety.” I wonder what he thought of certain warrants in favor of his son, which he paid, and where he finds his much vaunted “authority of law” for so doing. Now, I assert, that tho warrant in favor of my brother, to which I presume he alludes, was authorized by express provision of law. On page 186, pub lished laws of 1S6S, resolution hfo. 14 expressly authorizes me to have certain entries transfer red in my office and' to employ a suitable clerk to do the work! By this authority I employed my brother, and he executed toe work to the entire satisfaction of a Legislative Committee who examined it. Why then tois insinuation that toe warrant was of “ doubtful propriety?— But, as the Treasurer speaks of the amount of said warrant being at the rate of $150 00, it oc curs to me that he may possibly refer to another warrant in.favor of my brother for services un der the “Wild Land” laws. If so. hn J« unfortunate- ore or the Code express ly authorizes the Governor to appoint a clerk to perform the duties upon which my brother has for some time been engaged, having been ap pointed by the Governor. For this service the warrant was drawn at the rate of $150 00 per month, and as no“ salary was fixed by law for this clerk, the Governor, in Ms discretion, fixed it as above. It is the same that has been allowed otoer clerks, both in the Executive office and in the office of Superintendent of Public Works. Also, toe clerks employed to make county maps, etc., all wMch toe Treasurer had heretofore paid, without doubting their propriety, so far as I am informed. But whv did the Treasurer pay a warrant for $500 in favor of Ms son for miking a transfer of certain entries in his office, and why did he, at a subsequent period, pay another warrant in favor of his son for toe same service of $350, making in all $850 for these transfers, ■when there is no express law authorizing it ?— The resolution named refers exclusively to the Comptroller General’s office, yet I find on my book the two warrants in favor of the Treasurer’s son for “extra service transferring Treasurer. Rockwell’s books,” etc. TMs is not alL The Treasurer affects great veneration for “law,” and the “will of toe legislature,” yet in the teeth of Ms pretensions, I find on my book war rant number 28 for $150, in favor of his son approved November 10, 1868, “for extra ser vices as Treasurer’s clerk.” On page 10, Laws of 1868, seotion 13 of the Appropriation Act, there is appropriated $500 to pay toe salary of the same clerk for the latter half of 1868. This act became a law 10th of October, 1868, and here was the expressed will of the Legislature that the Treasurer’s clerk should have but $500 for half the year, or at the rate of $1000 per year. .Yet, on the 10th of November there after, the Treasurer, with all Ms veneration for law and toe expressed will of the Legislature, paid Ms son $150 over and above Ms lawful salary. Again, on tke 18 th of January, 1869,1 find that another warrant for the same amount, No. 132, in favor of his son, was approved and en tered, for similar servioea: in the Trei^urer’s office. .
