The Greorgia Weekly Telegraph. THE TELEGRAPH. MACON FRIDAY, AUGUST 20, 1869. Ike Macon Postmaster. As some doubts have been expressed about; the reappointment of Mr. J. H. Washington as Postmaster of Macon, we telegraphed yesterday to a gentleman holding a position in the Gener al Poetoffioe Department at Washington, the question “who is Postmaster al,Macon?” and received for answer—“J. H. Washington.” -y- Affairs tn Ohio. Aocording to the telegrams yesterday, the DemocraticExecutive Committee of Ohio, called together after receiving news of Gen. Rosen- cranz's declination, took the responsibility of putting.another candidate in the field without calling another Convention. This they were enabled to do by the consent of Hon. George H." Pendleton to accept the nomination, which he persistently refused to do, while the original Convention was in session. If he could then have been prevailed upon to give his consent to become a candidate he would probably have re ceived a nearly unanimous nomination. With this great and good man as standard bearer of the Ohio Democracy every effort of that gallant party will be enlisted to insure success—every nerve will be strained—every stone turned. On the other hand the Radicals will he stirred up to their highest achievements, and we may look for a contest in Ohio not exceeded in spirit and determination by that of last Fall. Enffcnla, Albany and Brunswick Rail Road Enjoined. Judge Schley, of the Eastern Circuit, grant ed an injunction against this road on Saturday last, at suit of a combination of railroads said to embrace the Southwestern, Central, Georgia, Macon and Brunswick and Albany and Gulf itoads. The points upon which the application was made were, among others, that the road was without a charter—had obtained; State aid by fraudulent representation—that its proposed route interfered with the chartered privileges of the Southwestern Railroad. Democrats In Massachusetts. A New York Sun Boston correspondent has had an interview with John Quincy Adam3. The latter will accept the Democratic nomination for Governor of Massachusetts if nominated, though he does not desire it. He approves Secrectary Fish's foreign policy, does not favor Territorial expansion, thinks the Democrats will soon control the Southern States, that the fif teenth amendment is invalid, that the signs of dissolution are apparent in the Republican ranks, that Democrats should accept negro suff rage and other inevitable results of the war and nominate John T.

The following delegates to this body at Saratoga, were elected at the recent Dental Convention in Atlanta, to represent the South: Dr. W. H. Morgan, of Nashville, Tennessee; Dr. J. R. Walker, of New Orleans, Louisiana; Dr. T. J. Crowe, of Macon, Georgia; Prof. F. J. S. Gorgas, of Baltimore. State Fair.—The committee of arrangements have reported that it will require an expendi ture of thirty thousand dollars to put the Labo ratory buildings and grounds at Macon in suite-' ble order for the State Fair in November, and the citizens of Macon are going about the work in earnest This large outlay renders more conspicuous the folly of making the State Fair a migratory institution. The Executive Committee arrange ment to held it alternately in Macon and Atlan ta, was a great and unnecessary blander. It was called for by no pnblio necessity, and in volves a heavy outlay of money that conld be otherwise profitably employed. The State Fair, to be what it Bhonld be, must have expensive and permanent buildings that should, with the grounds, be kept in good order the year round, and we defy anybody to give a sensible reason why this labor and outlay should be doubled.— Atlanta, too, is five hundred miles distant by railroad from some of the best agricultural por tions of the State, while all the arguments com bine to influence the committee to fix the Fair permanently and immovably at Macon.—Sav annah Republican.

Mr. Woods is a son of the Jun ior partner of the firm of Young & Woods, Eu- fanla, and enjoys the benefit of very strong financial connections at important commercial points in Georgia and Alabama, as well as abroad, and a wide acquaintance in Southwest ern Georgia and Alabama. He has been pur suing his business as a cotton factor in Savan nah, for four years, with great success, which will not fail to increase with years and the pro gress of the cotton trade. We feel no hesitation in commending him to the confidence of the reader. .»•••.

There he treated the whole affair in a strictly party aspect, and doubted the the condition of the Maoon Postoffice and say if a negro should be put in office here he would find a welcome which would make him ever re gret the day of his appointment.

Editors Telegraph: The stream of pleasnre- seekers and invalids continues to flow in this direction without abatement. A large number of visitors have arrived daring the past week, including some of the handsomest young ladies in the State. Indeed, it would be difficult to find more beautiful women than some we have here; and how the gentlemen can avoid falling in love with a dozen or more of them at the same time, is passing strange. That the little rqsy god with his bows and arrows has made victims of some of them is evident to every one except themselves. But when a man or woman is smitten by the tender passion, he or she is the last one in the world to find it out. The authoress of St Elmo, once said to a po etical friend, that she considered poetry a spe cies of madness and looked upon all poets as more or less demented. Be this as it may, it is plain enough that a man becomes a simpleton the moment be gets in love. It would be un- gollant to make the same remark of the ladies; yet candor compels me to observe that when their sweet little hearts become deeply entan gled in Cupid's meshes, they are not crazy, nor yet beside themselves, nor wholly bereft of rea son—bnt they are assuredly, not exactly them selves. I do not mean to intimate that it is foolish in man or woman to yield to the divine passion. On the contrary, I consider love a very sensible thing—a very good thing—aye, a pleasant thing; and yet T do maintain that as soon as the fever sets in, the victim becomes in a measure, delir- It may be the delirium of joy, if you is needless to say that this cannot be done with- : charming daughter, goes to Niagara, and other . , , places of interest in the North, for the summer, out a greater or less sacrifice of that delicacy of ; ^ Corvus.

And this brings us back to onr starting point, that a man in love with a pretty woman, always makes a fool of himself. Hence, too, the suicides and double murders and other desperate remedies to which disappointed and crazy lovers some times resort. Indeed, love beats ether and chlo roform aid champagne, all hollow. Speaking of the authoress of St. Elmo, I am reminded to inform your readers that she has another novel now in the hands of her New York publisher, Mr. Derby. The leading idea sought to be developed in the work, it is said, relates to divorces. I have not heard which side she takes in the controversy npon that much mooted question, but presume she is op posed to the legal separation of man and wife for causes occurring after marriage. She pro bably thinks that if society would come to re gard the marriage tie as* indissoluble, young people as well as parents would be more cau tious, the one in selecting partners for life and the other in sanctioning these selections. It is said that her publisher, upon the receipt of the manuscript, and before he had examined it, wrote toMiss Evans, or rather Mrs. "Wilson, now, offering her fifteen thousand dollars for the copyright, which she accepted. After reading the manuscript he wrote to her again express ing himself in the most complimentary and en thusiastic terms as to its merits. So, Messrs. Editors, your lady readers have a new sensa tion and perhaps a great lesson in expectancy. The weather has been quite cool and nnpro- pitious of late. For a day or two, fires, woollen clothing and blankets were in demand. Wheth er this was the result of the late eclipse, or the approach of the equinoctial season, or of a frolic on the part of the wayward clerk of the weather, we are at a loss to determine. The ladies here are disposed to ascribe the sudden change of temperature to the eclipse, which they were un able to witness. The snbjeot was much dis cussed, and many of them were prepared with bits of smoked glass and their own bright eyes to witness the heavenly phenomenon; bnt the envious clonds intervened and prevented the anticipated pleasure. We are just now in the height of the gay sea son. It has been many years since a more bril liant company assembled in the South than that which was gathered at the ball-room here last night Many of the ladies’ toilets were superb, and gotten up with exquisite taste. But unex ceptionable as the toilets were, they were not equal to the beauty of the fair creatures whose unsurpassed graces and loveliness they sought in vain to heighten and improve. Macon. Grif fin, Columbus, Montgomery, and, indeed, the country at large, were well represented, both by ladies and gentlemen. Savannah, thus far, is represented only by her beaux. You wiil pardon* me if I do not imitate the professional letter-writers of the Northern press and give the name of the reigning belle of the season, and describe the dresses of the many beautiful women here. Indeed, it would be im possible to. say who is the belle and who the most beautiful lady at the Springs, where there are so many who are beautiful and so much ad mired. Pnblio opinion, however, seems to be divided between two very handsome ladies from Macon, both of whom'are a little above the medium height, graceful, well formed, enter taining and possessing that rare quality, good taste in adapting their dress to their peculiar and diverse orders of beauty. The one is a rich brunette, with magnificent eyes—now, unhappi ly, somewhat in eclipse; the*other—well I know not what terms to use to describe her fresh and unique style. I can only say, she looks as if she had just stepped down out of a picture frame of the last century: so much does her face remind one of the antique beauties of onr revolutionary period. There are other ladies present from Macon quite as pleasant and hard ly less beautiful than the two alluded to here, and the gentlemen who accompany them well deserve the good fortune they enjoy in being their escorts. Among the petite beauties at the springs Col umbus takes the lead, and we are advised that the same city will, in a few days, contest the claims of all comers of whatever age and type of beauty. _ The best wnltzer, as well as the most charming and agreeable woman who has been here this season, hails from the banks of the Ocmulgee. Her golden colored gaiters have described many a graceful figure upon the ball room floor, and made many a manly head and heart turn giddy. But she has left us! It is difficult to say which is the best dancer, an ao- complishedmarriedlady from Macon or a brown eyed, silver-slippered little widow from the banks of tho Tombigbee. The former is the personification of grace and. womanly dignity. The latter—what shall I say of her ? No pen less graceful than Sir John Suckling's can do her dancing justice. “Her feet beneath her petticoat, Like little mice stole in and oat, As if they feared the light. And oh! to see them dance you'd say, % No sun upon an Easter day. Was half so fine a eight.” Bnt my pen is running away with me, or rath er the ladies are, and my letter is growing to an unpardonable length. I had intended to give your readers some account of this pictur esque region, its fertile coves and valleys, its green fields, its mountains filled with ore and its life-giving mineral waters. But cupid perched himself upon my pen staff this evening, and it would not write otherwise than as his imperial majesty was pleased to direct. It shall ho my endeavor to do better hereafter. I will only add now that the crops, both of corn and cotton, continue to promise an abun dant yield. Fertilizers have been used freely, even in the piost remote and inaccessible parts of the country, and everywhere they seem to have proven beneficial. Invalid.

The banks of either side appeared exceedingly rich. Impenetrable jungles of cane and brush jutted down to the water’s edge, while the general configuration of the country was becoming very low. Nothing bnt swamps, low, inundated, full of cypress, hung with festoons of moss, could be seen spreading gloom over vast forests. Only a few houses are to be seen for one hundred miles, while many fine plantations lie uncultivated on the river banks. . Ever since the war I have heard of “Mocca sin Slew,” which I perceive we are approaching very rapidly. It looks impossible we should enter so narrow a passage; bnt we swing around and go in like a wedge—a narrow, tortuous cut of the river, which, in consequence of obstruc tions during the war, was made through an im penetrable forest. On the left I see the wreck of the steamboat Music, and ahead I perceive a narrow, dangerous current to navigate. Two miles and a half are made, and we now drift into what are known a3 the Narrows, a still, sluggish stream which makes into the main river, from which we had diverged. The Apa lachicola becomes a wide, beantiful stream as we descend, with scenery much more attractive, as we gaze on the river that stretches away. Three rivers now appear in the distance, con verging, which bear the name of the “Three Brothers.” "We bear to the right and glide down on the rising wave to the delightful Bay of Ap alachicola. It is late in the evening when I catch the first view of the city and the bright wafers of the Golf that glisten in the sunset. A crowd of all ages, indescriminate colors and sex, come rushing to the boat Very promi nent, is a mulatto negro, with a stick in his hand, who leap3 on the deck as the ropes are thrown ashore. This negro is the Marshal of the city. Capt. "Whitesides informed me we should remain until 9 o'clock, which would enable those who desired to stroll over the town to have an oppor tunity of viewing what once was a prond and wealthy city. Ah! thought I, Gloria mundi transit, as I looked down a magnificent wharf, overgrown with grass and deserted; once crowded with cotton and merchandize. Not a vessel in port or vestige of this once busy mart remains to be seen. The splendid fire-proof warehouses are closed—the stores are shut np—the town is de serted, save by a mixed mass of women, children, negroes and “Dagos,” who conld not escape the rain. A few old citizens remain. As I walked through the streets, grown np with grass, I saw many evidences of former lux ury and grandeur. I was making for the bean tiful residence of Mr. Thomas Orman—looking around me as I approached his stately mansion, I felt as if I had been “let down” in a tropical region. A fine looking old gentleman met me at the door: “Mr. Orman, I presume:” ‘Yes, have a seat, sir. ” I was very much pleased with his appearance—I knew he was a cultivated man. We soon walked out in the orange grove, for I could not sit still where there was so much beauty around me. I observed the trees were very full of fruit, and remarked to Mr. Orman, I thought they were very old. “Thirty years ago,” he replied, “there came a vessel in here from Jamaica with a cargo of fine fruit, from which I procured these seed and plants. X have abont one acre and a half and will gather 40,- 000 oranges this year, from which I expect to realize §1,500.” The Japan plum. Banana plant, and Ramie, with a great variety of fruits were growing on the premises. I saw two date trees twenty years old, which will bear fruit in ten more years, thirty years of age being required for this pur pose. Property of all descriptions has depreciated to nothing in Apalachicola. The population was formerly near 4000 but only about 1000 re main. It is thought if canning of oysters may be resorted to, together with the unbounded resources of the fish and lumber market, Apala chicola may yet revive to some extent. It is certainly a gloomy looking place now. “Occasional.” BY TELEGRAPH. Supreme Court in Memory Howell Cobb. ***' Bottom's Horse Power. A correspondent at Americas has already writ ten ns about this invention, and his notice of it appeared in the Telegraph a few days ago. We however append the following from the Ameri cas Courier: An Important and Valuable Invention.— Some fifteen or twenty gentlemen of this city visited the plantation of Col. B. B. Hamilton, Tuesday afternoon, to witness the working of an improved horse-power, invented and patented, by Capt. T. J. Bottoms, of ThomasviUe, Ga.— The machinery was tested by attachment to a forty-saw Taylor gin—perfectly new and run ning a little roughly. It was also the first work ing of the cogs, pinions, etc., and they were rough and heavy. But, notwithstanding the un favorable surroundings—wet weather, damp, bad cotton, etc. , all present were soon convinced of the superiority of this over any horse-power heretofore invented. All inventions by onr own Southern people, when meritorious, should meet with encourage ment from all; and we are satisfied that this in vention will save to cotton planters the ccst of procuring it every year it is used for ginning purposes. When properly adjusted, polished and in good running order, a majority of those present believe that as much cotton can be gin ned with one mole as has heretofore been done with four—thus saving the use of three mules dar ing the ginning season. The Committee appointed by Col. Hamilton to report npon the trial made the following re turn : “One mule ginned, on a forty-saw Taylor gin, fifty pounds of cotton in seven minutes.*’’ “A part of the committee believe the machine had gained 100 per cent, in power, while the other part believe there is a gain of from 160 to 175 per cent.” Jxo. V. Price, Chairman. Chas. J. Malone, W. J. Barlow, Jesse Stallings, W. T. Davenport, Merkel Callaway. Secretary. Capt. T. J. Bottoms, the inventor, and Dr. J. W. Huntoon, are the proprietors of this merito rious patent. After the trial, upon invitation of Col. Hamil ton, the partv repaired to his residence, and proceeded to ‘‘test” the capacity of masticating ‘‘machines” and found them in fine working or der, consuming a load of watermelons and peach es in short order.

The leaders state that, were belligerent rights accorded them by the United States, such would be the effect in Cuba as to enable them to secure pos session of the entire island, except Havana, within thirty days. Cabans throughout the island are in sympathy with the Cespedes Government, and the disaffection of the Spanish troops would leave the Spanish Government without an army. It is re ported that serious difficulty exists in the Volunteer organization. Four hundred troops from Santiago de Cuba were captured by Jordan. The force sent by Talmazeda to relieve them was defeated with a loss of half their force. It is reported that the Spaniards were driven from Ciuco Villas district, with heavy loss. The Cnbans are now in possession of the entire district. Jordan has accomplished his purposes everywhere. His troops, are inspirited by successes and in excellent spirits. A cargo of Blaves recently landed at Cinco Villas was captured and liberated. Qnesada’s forces are closing on their op ponents, who have no troops outside Neuvitas, ex cept those confined in Puerto Principe. Customs from the 31st to the 7th, 83,790,000.
