THE TELEGRAPH.
MACON FRIDAY, AUGUST 20, 1869.
To Correspondents.
We omit to-day some communications con.
taining pleasantries at the expense of other cor
respondents, which, although harmless and good
natured, might be misconstrue A Our policy is
to subject no correspondent to attacks of any
kind, unless in the way of redress of some in
justice, or in correction of misstatement or error.
We want every gentleman to feel at freedom to
write, secure thathe will be protected from need
less publicity, if he desires it, or annoyance of
any kind, so that he writes in good faith.
This paper seeks to enter into the counsels
and confidence of the people, as their zealous
friend and well-wisher—deeply interested in
whatever promotes the progress and prosperity
of the country, and the public and private wel-
fare. As nothing is likely to be more useful to
our farmers, for example, than a widely circu
lated print, through which they can communi
cate their views and experience to each other
for the common benefit, it becomes an essen
tial point to the great purpose that they shall
be held perfectly safe in such communications
against exposure or ridicule, which may wound
the sensibilities of writers.
Agricultural journals, though exceedingly
valuable in putting elaborate treatises before
the public, are too slow to answer all the ends
of literary inter-communications between farm
ers and planters. Hence, the daily press in
all parts of the country is fast becoming an
organ of the agriculturists, as it already is of
the business community; and as in this central
locality of Georgia agriculture is the great in
terest of the people, and lies at the foundation
of all others, it would seem that no topic can
more properly assume a prominent position in
our daily prints.
It is upon these ideas that the Telegraph
devotes so much of its space to the planting in
terest of Georgia,andisinsuch constant commu
nication with so many of the intelligent and
leading planters of the State.
Cotton Prices this Season.
Smith & Edward's Liverpool monthly circular,
dated 31st of July, to which we refer the reader,
sustains in some particulars the views as to the
general course of the cotton marketexpressed by
the Telegraph on Sunday. They think thatthe
price of American cotton must still further ad
vance, although the deficiency has almost
reached the culminating point; but they antici
pate some time during the fall a collapse in the
Manchester trade which may go to re-establish
an equilibrium between supply and demand,—
They consider the American cotton prospects
very melancholly for consumers, and base all
their hopes of a larger supply upon Chinese
immigration. The circular is highly interesting
to cotton producers, and we direct their special
attention to it.
Repudiation In Ohio.
A correspondent of the Charleston Conrier,
speaking of political affairs in Ohio, says:
I learn from Democratic politicians who have
just arrived here from Ohio and other North
western States, that the mass of the people are
conscientiously and obstinately opposed to pay
ing any more of the principal or the interest of
the publieclebt. ^ The policy of absolute and en
tire repudiation is likely to prevail in the West
The half way projects urged
by Air. Pendleton and others do not meet the
present views either of tax payers or non-tax
payers. Senator Sherman has thought that his
pending scheme would appease the Western
clamor against the debt. But he will find it to
be useless. The people care nothing about the
deduction of the rate of interest proposed by
Senator Sherman. They are against paying any
interest. The non-tax payers who are, never
theless, voters, oppose the payment of any of
the debt as a dangerous example either for a
pnblic or private transaction.
This reminds ns of a conversation we had with
an intelligent friend a few days ago. He had
just parted with a party of Northern capitalists
with whom he had associated for some days on
confidential terms. They were all radicals of
the straitest sect, and he had frequent talks with
them upon the folly of ostracising the intelli
gence of the South in their reconstruction
schemes.
They replied they could not trust the South
ern politicians with the national debt—for once
reinstated in their old position the latter would
start the cry of repudiation and when this should
be boldly pressed upon the people, it would be
earned. It was for tins reason that the entire
capital of the North, interested in the public se
curities, combined in tbe policy of shutting out
from public and official position every Southern
man likely to exercise any influence in Congress
or among the people.
To do this, the test-oath was established, and
this policy would be vigorously pursued until
their securities could be transmuted into some
thing which did not depend upon tho ballot box
for its value. At present they could not entrust
their assets to the forbearance of the Southern
politicians, whom they had compelled to acts of
repudiation as a condition precedent to rehabili
tation in the rights of American citizens.

The Contest over Virginia.
The Press telegrams to-day state very confi
dently that the fight over Virginia in Washing
ton is yet undecided, and that it is a mistake to
say that the President has finally determined on
enforcing the test oath upon the newly elected
legislators. Now reports, speculations, surmi
ses and allegations on this point have been kept
in circulation every day since the Virginia elec
tion, so that one can hardly help suspecting
some tactics underlying such sedulous busy-
bodying and such protracted indecision on this
point. It is done perhaps to accustom the pub
lic mind to a gigantic fraud and breach of faith
with the Virginians before the final and wicked
consummation is announced.
It was but a few weeks ago that almost every
leading organ save Forney’s, scouted at Canby’s
order as false-dealing; but they are already
quietand obviously preparing for the emergency
of sustaining it If approved, it will be simply
a reversal of the result of the ballot in Virginia;
but certainly not more high handed and despotic
than the reversal of the Constitutional election
in Alabama.
It grows ont of desperate party necessities;
for while there are a parcel of “medicine men”
in Georgia ana elsewhere, howling the death-
soti^" Democratic party, the Radical party
hears the dea^ 1 tattle in its own throat too plain
ly to trust to legitimate pieans for the preserva
tion of life. They are busily ineanling the foul
demons of fraud and juggling in Virginia, Mis
sissippi and Texas, so as to pack the Senate
with six more carpet-baggers ahd in&ke ready
for the stormy ^J 3 oi popular retribution,
wMch they as certainly forecast in the future
as our medicine men do tho folly and defeat of
the Democrats. They mean to have those six
Senators by book or by crook: but before they
have got through with them, will want them all
under heavy bonds to stay in harness.
Affairs in SontU Carolina.
The Charleston News complains that onr para
graph on this subject is copied to the injury of
the State. We give below, with great pleasure,
the counter-statement of the News, with the re
mark that it is as far from our heart to say or do
anything to the,injury of South Carolina as it is
from that of the News; -and we thank that paper
for freely exonerating us from any suspicion of
sinister motives in writing the paragraph in
question. The News says:
The truth of matter is, that South Carolina is
to-day as strong as any other State of the South,
and Has as bright a prospect for the future. The
short cotton crop of the year will be at least as
good as that of last year, while the long crop
will be better than it has been for many years.
The rice looks well, the wheat was excellent,
and the only failure will be in com, the crop
of which may fall short. But in this there is no
danger. Money is abundant, and there is as
much reason to apprehend a famine in New
York city as in South Carolina.
It is not true that any part of the State is un
inhabitable by whites; nor is it true that great
numbers of tho 'whites are leaving the State.
There is as much safety in this State as there is
in Georgia, and our people, feeling that home
is the best place for them, are determined to
stick.
It is not true that there is any prospect that
the lower sections of the State will be aban
doned to the negroes. For three successive
years the crops in the low country failed. This
stripped the planters bare, paralyzed their ener
gies, and made it well nigh impossible to pitch
another crop. But it was done, and the low
country-will have a finer crop this season than
it has had since the war. The freedmen are
under good control, and the power and influence
of the whites increases every day. Throughout
the State the people are confident and cheerful.
We have more hard money than we had in 18G0,
and, in every sense of the word, South Carolina
has made as much progress since 18G3 as has
been made by any one of her sister States.
This is the plain, unvarnished fact, and we
hope the Macon Telegbath will at once publish
our denial of assertions which are calculated to
do this whole State serious and lasting injury.

From Dooly County.
Vienna, Ga., August 14, I860.
Editors 2 elegraph: Since I last wrote you the
planters of Dooly have been greatly dispirited
on account of the rust, wMch, to a greater or
less degree, has damaged the cotton crop
throughout the county.
To what extent the cotton crop of the county
has been injured by the rust the revelation of
time can cnly tell—but we do know that a full
crop of cotton cannot and will not be made in
Dooly this year. The cotton is now opening,
and some of the planters are daily gathering
from eighty to one hundred pounds per hand.
The com crop will be short, on account of the
drought,bnt it is hoped that a sufficient quantity
will be gathered, if economically used, to sub
serve the necessities of the people.
In conclusion, permit me,through the medium
of your columns, to inform “Nemo," of Macon
county, that he is engaged in a very small busi
ness when he attempts to lash Mr. ‘N. A. (how
ever objectionable he may be) over the shoul
ders of “lower Dooly."
If he has a pique against Mr. N. A. and has a
soul in his carcass as big as a bee’s knee he
would do well in his future communications to
leave out “lower Dooly” and pitch into Mr. N. A.
The people of “lower Dooly” are an intelli
gent, virtuous, honorable, industrious people,
who would scorn to receive on terms of equality
tbe obnoxious citizens of Alacon or any other
county, and “Nemo" would be greatlv benefited
by remembering the old adage that says, “they
who live in glass houses should not throw
stones.”
If “Nemo” wants to make a fling at ‘lower
Dooly” let him come out and do so in a direct
manner, and he will be answered. If he cannot
do this he is utterly beneath the contempt of
“lower Dooly."
Respectfully Yours, &c.,
Buncombe.
From Washington.
Washington, August 16.—A letter from Dent to
General Grant is published, wherein Bent protests
against Grant’s support of the bitter enders, claim
ing that the Government has foiled the bitter enders
in getting possession of Mississippi under a de
feated Constitution—but it now supports them.—
Dent expresses the opinion that notwithstanding
tho Cabinet will support tho bitter enders they will
be defeated in Mississippi.
Supervisor Peny, of North and Sodth Carolina,
reports tho seizure of forty thousand boxes of to
bacco within his district, and much machinery. It
may be confidently stated that tbe assertions re
garding Hoar’s opinion, and the Cabinet’s instruc
tions, and Canby’s intentions regarding the exac
tion of the test oath from the 'Virginia Legislature,
are speculations. Nothing has been definitely de
termined.
Acting SecretarfrRichardson, has prepared in
structions to colld«ors, naval officers, surveyors
and appraisers, in which he reminds them that, in
accordance with the existing regulations, no subor
dinate officer of the customs can be removed or
appointed, without the previous sanction of tho
Secretary of the Treasury.
The receipts from the internal revenue, from all
sources, for the year ending June 30th, was as fol-
lows: distilled spirits, $43,800,000; tobacco, 922,-
200,000; fermented liquors, 65,600,000; incomes,
$23,100,000; stamps, $15,605,000; total $110,205,-

has commenced legal proceedings against the

From New York.
New York, August 18.—The Federal building in
Chambers stroet, is crammed with people anxious
to witness the proceedings in the Pratt case.
The United States troops are well supplied with
ball cartridges and rations, and still guarding Marshal
Barlow. Pratt will be produced before the United
States Commissioner at 2 o’clock. It is rumored
that a requisition for the prisoner has been received
from Gen. Reynolds.
LATEB.
The proceedings in the case of the Government
against J. H. Pratt, came to a stand this afternoon,
by the discharge of Pratt, by United States Commis
sioner Osborne. The announcement of the decision
was received with cheers by an excited crowd of
about two thousand persons.
George W. Butler, President of the First National
Bank of Memphis, has been arrested here, charged
with the embezzlement of 6600,000 of the Tennes
see School Fund. Butler is in jail.
In discharging Pratt, Osborne said that himself
and the Attorney General had pnrsued tbe course
they had because they deemed it right to maintain
tho authority of the United States. It was simply
and purely because there were no facts sufficient to
hold the prisoner, that he should order las dis
charge. Pratt left the court with Mb friends. The
soldiers have returned to Fort Schuyler.
Waem and Dbx Weathee.—Wo are having
warm weather again. On Sunday the mercury
indicated ninety-four, and tho day was still
more oppressive by reason of the absence of
all breeze. Yesterday was quite warm again,
but a good breeze was stirring. Vegetation in
Macon is suffering more from drought than at
any time during the season, although it is but
nine or ten days since we emerged from a
showery season. That may bo due to tho fact
that tho soil was, after all, wet to no great depth
at that time. It was never perfectly saturated,
although tho showers seemed to bo many and
rather frequent. Just now, however, tho shade
trees are taming yellow and dropping their
leaves rapidly, and youdg com and garden
vegetables are showing every indication of dis
tress.
Dent and Mississippi.—Brother Dent is evi
dently one of tho impracticables. Ho refuses
to fall into lino in tho matter of bolstering up
tho ultra Radicals of Mississippi at tho command
of tho President and Cabinet. He strikes an
adroit blow at the inconsistency of tho adminis
tration, and finally professes hi3 belief that tho
administration backing will bo found as value
less as Stokes discovered it to be in Tennessee.
We hope his prognostications will be found to
be correct.
Supreme Court Decision on Negro Eli-
gibility.
We have, by the courtesy of the Governor, a
pamphlet of nearly two hundred pages, contain
ing the arguments before the Supreme Court
and its opinions and decision on the negro eligi
bility question. Also the Governor’s veto mes
sage of the resolution proposing to refer the
question to the courts—the letters of numerous
gentlemen upon the subject written in response
circular from the Chronicle office, and
the communication of B., to the Macon Tele-
gbaph, disposing of the principle of res adjvdi-
catn in the effort to apply it to Legislative bo
dies and citing a Congressional case in point.—
This pamphlet covers the whole question, and
we presume is printed for general circulation in
view of final action upon it by the Legislature.
We see, by the way, that a corrrespondent of
the Chronicle, assailing “B." admits the point
made by tbe latter, as follows:
It is not my purpose to discuss the precedent
he cites—the Mississippi Contested Election
case—farther than to remark that that case
seems to be one in point, and to furnish direct
authority against the doctrine of res adjudieata-
as applied to legislative bodies.
We have nothing further to say editorially on
this subject at present—having treated of it in
nearly every aspect we can think of.
Chinese in South Caeoltna.—The News says
that Mr. Josephs, the Chinese immigrant agent,
has made large contracts in that State, to be
filled in January next One of the largest and
most successful rice planters on our coast takes
two hundred and fifty Chinese, and other plant
ers take tens, twenties and fifties. No payment
whatever is made by the planters until the Chi
nese arrive, and go to work on the plantations.
Thb San Jacinto.—We print upon the first
page the particulars of the loss of the San Jacinto,
which evidently has been totaL Fortunately it has
been attended with no loss of life. The ship had
aboard a great many goods for Macon—many of
them, we are sory to say, uninsured. So little
risk has usually attended the shipment of goods
by this route that shippers hod become careless
about insurance.
University or Louisiana—Medical Depart
ment.—We call attention to tho announcement
of the 82d annual course of instruction, which
commences the 15th of November. This is one
of the best medical schools on the Continent,
and the advantages from hospital practice are
almost unrivalled.
Wanted it Remedy for Rnst In Cotton.
Laubens Hill, August 10, 1869.
Editors Telegraph.: Will you be kind enough
tb allow me a small space in your paper to make
ati enquiry of scientific planters if they know of
any certain remedy for rust in cotton? My
land, once good for a thousand pounds per acre
without manure, hns become subject to rust in
many places, and this year it has spread over
the fields far beyond any thing of the kind I ever
saw before. The cold May—the protracted
drought, and tho recent stormy weather, might
have made it worse than common, but still I
fear there may be some latent cause existing in
the land itself, independent of the seasons.—
What that cause is, and the remedy, with full
particulars how to apply the remedy, are the
points I wish to know, and would feel thankful
to any one for the information. It is the worst
enemy I have to my cotton crop, and I dread it
more than all others put together.
We have had plentiful showers of rain, accom
panied with hail and wind, and my cotton, where
it has no rust, is putting out a new top crop
loaded with forms; but I have seen “air castles’*
before, and am not at all elated at the prospect.
Jack Frost in Middle Georgia has an ugly trick
of handling all such samples. Farmer.
Filtered Well Water.
If our city was generally supplied with cis
terns of drinking water what a blessing it would
be. Pure air and good water are more essen
tial to health than any other two items in the
universe, and yet how careless we ore generally
to secure them. All business bouses in tbe city
should be provided with cisterns, as well as all
private residences where there is not a good
well. It would add to the permanent value of
the property and spare many ailments nnd disa
bilities. Everybody knows the meanness of the
mixture some call water on our public thorough
fares. Let us have good water.
We clip the foregoing from the Sun and Times,

White Sulphur Sraratts, August 18.—The Com

mitted from Wm. M. Burnell, of New Orleans - T

leaning on Gen. Lee’s arm, the crowd gathered
around with demonstrations of congratulation on
his convalescence.
Can’t See It.—Our friend of the Columbus
Enquirer has been looking after the comet, but
with no better success than he states thus:
The comet is no doubt distinguishable through
telescopes, for astronomers say so, and perhaps
those who have once seen it through instru
ments, knowing just where to look for it, can
distinguish it with the naked eye. Bnt we are
satisfied that it is not yet on object of sufficient
prominence to be recognized by observers with
out such aids; and as to the formidable tail, we
doubt whether that has yet been seen by any
body, with or without telescopes.
The San Jacinto.—Speculating npon the loss
of the Germania, Cleopatria and San Jacinto,
the New York Times says:
Further particulars may give a more satisfac
tory reason for the disasters, which happily
were not attended with loss of life. Had not
the passengers been saved, the officers of the
vessels would undoubtedly have been called to
answer for tbe calamities. There is no reason
why they should not be held equally responsible

Montgomery White Sulfhub Springs, >
Montgomery County, Va., Aug. 13, 1869,j*
Editors Telegraph: Attracted by an adver
tisement in your valuable paper of this delight
ful watering place, and the additional attractions
held out to witness a tournament, we arrived in
due time and were delighted to find so many
familiar names on the register ahead of us, all
of whom speak in the highest terms of the
salubrity of the climate, the magio effect of the
waters in recuperating the flagging energies of
the body and imparting a bouyancy to the mind.
The tournament came off as advertised, and
was witnessed by at least one thousand persons.
Every available spot was occupied by fair and
beautiful representatives of Virginia, Louisiana,
Alabama and other Southern States.
At 12 m., the hour appointed for the tilt, some
twenty-six gallant Knights, mounted on fiery
Bteeds, with nodding steel and plume, headed by
the famous Metropolitan Band, of Washington
City, paraded round the lawn to the mumc of
Dixie. Arriving on the ground selected for the
tilt, they were eloquently charged by Judge
Walker, of Louisiana, who, daring his remarks,
paid a just and touching tribute to the beauty
and chivalry of Virginia.
It in useless to encumber your columns with
the feats performed by each particular Knight;
so wo will confine our remarks to the most suc
cessful, namely: Major G. W. Anderson, who
rode as the Knight of the “Montgomery White
Sulphur,” and carried all the rings, nine innum
ber, in a succession of three rides.
Ho was closely followed by the gallant knight
of Ravenswood, Mr. Wm. M. EUis, who got
eight rings and a tip, while the knight of the
“Hills” got seven rings and two tips, and Mr.
T. W. Barnett, Knight of the “Alleghenies,"
took seven rings and one tip. The' latter was
tied by the Knight of the Lawn, Mr. Hammet
Wilson, and after an exciting contest, in which
the spectators seemed to take as much interest
as the valiant knights themselves, Mr. B. was
declared the victor.
Tho honors were announced as above by the
judges from the stand. The Knights being
formed in line preceded by the band playing,
“ Hail to the Chief,” returned to their quarters
and received the congratulations of their friencfe
and numerous admirers.
That evening was one of much solicitude to
the fair sex, as the victorious Major was heard'
to say he was disengaged and intended to crown-
the handsomest lady on the ground. All eyes
seemed to wander immediately in the direction
of the fascinating figure of Miss Kenner, of Mo
bile. The Major observing, gallantly laid tbe
sceptre at her feet, which was as gracefully ac
cepted; and that night, surrounded by her
Maids of Honor, the crown was placed upon
her brow and she stood before tbe admiring
throng the acknowledged Queen of “ Love and
Beauty."
The coronation address was delivered by E. S.
Gregory, Esq., of the Lynchburg Republican,
and elicited much applause, after which, the
Royal set was formed and danced with a
grace and precision which had the happiest ef
fect, as in a few minutes the spacious ball room
resounded with the steps of “flying feet, which,
chase the morn away.”
In the evening, the lawn was beautifully illu
minated with numerous Chinese lanterns and
balloons, rockets, etc., whieh lent an enchant
ment to the scene rarely witnessed in this sec
tion of country.
At 12 p. m. the company partook of a magnif
icent sapper, prepared by that prince of cater
ers, Mr. J. B. Goodman.
In conclusion we have only to add that great
preparations are now being m^e for a grand
masquerade ball, to be given on the 24th inst.
From the character of the gentlemen at the
head of it, seconded, as their every wish is,
by the courteous and liberal-minded proprie
tors, and their polite and skillful assistants;
Messrs. Kavenagh and Binford, a joyful time
may be relied on. As ever yours, Bertrand.
Captain then went in the pilot house, and had
scarcely entered when she struck. He took
charge, and ordered more steam to get her off.
The steam pipe exploded, and the hose was at
tached in case of fire. A man volunteered to
go down and shut off steam, and took the hose
to extinguish fire. He did both successfully.
While one of the stern boats was half-way low
ered, the second mate and one of the crew got
in her, but as soon as Bhe touched the water a
heavy swell washed her under the port wheel,
threw her occupants into the water and-smashed
the boat to pieces.
A. NARROW ESCAPE YOB LIFE.
The sailor was fortunate in catching a rope
and getting on board, but the second mate sank
twice, when, upon coming up the third time he
caught a rope which was thrown to him, fast
ened it around his waist, and was hoisted on
board. He was insensible for about an hour.
After the loss of the boat, another was low
ered from the bow, the first mate taking charge
with five of the crew, for the purpose of taking
a line to the shore, and succeeded, after severe
labor. In returning to the steamship the first
mate was thrown overboard in consequence of
a heavy swelL He grabbed and caught the'
gunwale, but was washed off. He succeeded in
another attempt in getting in the boat by the
assistance of one of the crew.
The Norfolk Journal publishes a card of
thanks from the passengers to Captain Adkins
and his fellow-officers, and all of them united in
assuring the Republican of their admiration of
his gallant conduct.
THE WRECKERS AT WORK.
We learn that on Tuesday evening last, at six
o’clock, a steamer had arrived from Norfolk,
with the necessary apparatus for the assistance
of the San Jacinto and, also, that when the
passengers were leaving about two hundred
wreckers, with teams, were ready to work on
the steamship.

The prospects of ourmarket have grown more
unfavorable for the consumer during the past
month, the deficit in the known supply of cotton
for the country having increased from ■ 250,000
to 381,000 bales, a more alarming change than
wehad anticipated. Themain cause of this has
been the very small shipments from the Indian
ports for several weeks as compared with last
year, and the large deliveries from this port,
against smaller ones at the 8ame time last year.
We think the comparative deficiency has now
reaehed,oralmostreached, its-cnlminating point;
but the great difficulty remains, how toovercome
it before the end of the year?: We can afford,
perhaps, to reduce stocks in the ports by 120,-
000 bales at Christmas, but the remainder of the
deficit must be met by a reduction of consump
tion and export.
At present there are no signs of this process
coming into play, and the longer it is delayed
the- more violent the contraction must be. It is
-voiy evident that some time this-autumn, either
through a further rise in the raw- material or a
collapse in Manchester trade without such a
rise; an equilibrium between supply and demand
must be established. It is very difficult to form
an-opinion, but we incline to think- that Ameri-
ean-cotton, which is relatively tbe scarcest, must
further advance in value. In it the deficiency
is so excessive that it is most difficult to see how
tie-trade axe to puU through the- interval be
tween now and the arrival of the- next crop.—
We- calculate that no new cotton worthy of notice
ean-arrivehere before the 1st of November; as
American spinners will be left almost without a
bale-when the next season opens, and must take
most of the receipts during September.

THE SAN JACINTO DISASTER.
ARRIVAL OF HER PASSENGERS IN SAVANNAH
FULL PARTICULARS.
(From the Savannah Itepnllican of Srjnday.
Wo are enabled tbis morning to furnish a de
tailed account of the disaster to this steamship,
gathered from her passengers, twenty-nine of
whom reached this city yesterday morning, the
balance, twenty-seven, doubtless including sub
ordinate officers and crew, having proceeded to
New York.
STATEMENT OF A PASSENGER.
We sailed from New York on Saturday after
noon, the 7th instant, at 4 o’clock. The adver
tised hour was 3 o’clock, but in consequence of-
the large freight which was stored on the wharf
she was delayed an hour. As it was, she was
compelled to leave a considerable quantity of'
freight, she being “chock a block,” having a
deck load. After passing Sandy Hook, the
weather was as fine as could be desired; we had
a good wind, all sail being set. There was not
a rock to tbe boat. At ten minutes to 12 o’clock
on Monday evening last, she struck on a sand
bar opposite the old tight house on Body Island.
The watch at the time was in eharge of. the
second officer. A strong under current was
running. The Captain states that she was steer
ing the same course she had usually done.
SHE BURSTS HER STEAM PIPE.
Immediately upon discovering she was-
aground five attempts were ineffectually made-
to get her off the bar, she bursting her steam-
pipe in the last. The fires were at once extin
guished and day light anxiously looked for. Hie
tide bringing her in shore all the time. Wien
she struck, a.number of crates of cabbage s-and
other deck freight were thrown overboard. At
daylight we were within one sixteenth of-a-mile
of shore, and fonnd that a heavy surf had-began
making, and a strong northeast wind blowing.—
About ten o'clock a rope was got ashore, and-the
baggage was being taken off.
A BOAT SMASHED TO PIECES.
In the attempt one of the steamship-’Aboats
was smashed to pieces by the surf, and ita-occur
sants precipitated into the water. They, were,
iowever, all picked up, but had a narrow escape
of their lives. After all the baggage h&d-boea
brought ashore, a number of gentlemen were
lowered by ropes into the boats, they going first
so as to give the ladies courage to follbw and
safely landed. The boats then took the ladies
who were eqnally fortnnato. The balance of
the crew followed, and at four o’clock the-steam-
ship was left subject to the winds and waves,
having no anchor out, and hard-aground. .
SHE IS HIGH AND DRY ASHORE;
Early the next morning (Tuesday) at two
o’clock, Captain Atkins and Mr. Davis walked
to the steamship, the tide having fallen, and
found her high and dry in the sand. She was
then eight feet in the sand; with no water
around, except on the shore side. She had one
foot of water in her. At eleven o-’clock she had
four feet, and had hogged eighteen inches, on
account or the sand washing, from underneath
her bow an® stem.
ALL. ASHORE.
After tbe passengers had landed, they bnilt a
tent, occupied a number of old buildings, and
made themselves a» comfortable as possible un
der the circumstances of their situation; bed
ding and food being brought from the steam
ship, the passengers cooking their own victuals.
BOUND TO ELIZABETH CITY.
Captain Atkins had succeeded in chartering
two sloops, one of ten and the other of thirteen
tons, in which to take the passengers to Eliza
beth City, distant sixty-five miles. At half past
one o’clock we started from the island, but there
being a-dead calm we were compelled to row,
and about six o’olock on Wednesday morning
we reached the city, after arduous work, just in
time to take the steamer through tho Dismal
Swamp to Norfolk, arriving at the latter place at
five o’clock in the afternoon. We went to the ho
tels, our baggage going by the Seaboard and Roa
noke Railroad. We reached Savannah yesterday
morning at five o’clock. Mr. Nickerson,. the
proprietor of the Screven House, with charac
teristic generosity, offered the passengers rooms
and board'at his hotel free of charge as long as
they remained in the city.
Upon stopping at Augusta, the proprietor of
Hewett’s Globe Hotel, kindly furnished ns with
a supper arid otherwise displayed a generous

It appears, therefore, that the utmost delivery

thattthe price erf American cotton is fully 2d.
par- pound above the average price hi the
autumn of last year, and it remains to -be seen
whether this will bring a sufficiently stringent
artion to bear upon consumption.
The position ®t Surat cotton we- consider as
relatively not so strong as American; there will
be-also a- serious deficiency in it, but the pro
portionate contraction of consumption wall not
need to be nearly so great as in long stapled
cotton. We incline, therefore, to think thot
the present difference of price between Ameri
can-and Sdrat cotton will increase as ths-season,
advances.
With regard to the growing American crop.
wo-are happy to report favorably. The. weath
er* has been good the past two months- and 1ms
nearly repaired the injury done by a- oold and
backward- spring; still the crop is later-than the
last one, and has yet to pass through, a critical
time, so-that it is quite premature to hazard
estimates of yield. The area planted: ia-betieved
to be larger than last year, but the labor availa
ble, no-greater; there has been, however; an
abundant use of fertilizers; .which may increase
ithe product, eyen where the labor employed is
no- greater.
However the cotton question is viewed, the
prospects in the immediate future are melan-
chotirforthe consumer; and it carmot be doubt
ed that during the coming winter, it not before
then, a vast amount of; machinery must be
stopped in Lancashire- We, therefore, turn
with pleasure to a more-pleasing; subject, viz:
the efforts now being made to introduce Chi
nese labor into the Sonthem States, as bearing
upon tbe future production of cetton.. For sev
eral years there has been a large Chinese immi
gration into California, where from 50;800 to
109,000 of that race are now settled, and’ they
have proved themselves such excellent laborers
a* to have displaced the native- American from
several branches of industry. Since the open
ing of the Pacific Railway, several hundred of
these people have- found their, way into the
South, where the planters ere eager to receive
them, and now contracts are baing made for the
transportation of considerable numbers. There
seems tittle doubt that th* stream of immigra
tion will steadily flow on, and, before many
years are over, supply the South with a large
accession of valuable labor. We do not sup
pose that this new element can affect percept
ibly the crop just growing, but. before many
years are oven,- we hope and believe that great
results will be-obtained.
Without sueih labor we would have tittle hope
of the South increasing its crops of cotton ma
terially, for the negro race is believed to be di
minishing, and will not be induced to work la
boriously even with a high, rate of wages. The
Chinaman, on the other hand, is fond of money
and willing to toil hard to aequire it, and we be
lieve his labor will ultimately be found more
serviceable than that of the negro.
This is the solitary ray of hope that now shows
itself on the dark horizon; we trust it will be
the harbinger of a brighter day for this harrassed
and stiffening trade.
