THE TELEGRAPH.
MACON FRIDAY, AUGUST 27, 1860.
j The National Labor Convention
Lately met in Philadelphia, threw out some
: portentous hints in their address to the people,
i We gather a few of them.
“Relief.” I !• A Ehot at Radical bondholding, banking,
The Supreme Court has endorsed the Belief ; feastins ’^ roIickine - sP^ating, lobbying and
Laws throughout in all their retro-active fea- i sboddy aristocracy:
tures-the homestead bill ditto, and declares 1 . In ,* he National Labor Union are the people
, . - , . | who havo neither time, money; nor inclination,
notes given for slave property and hire worth- to fritter away the precious ’hours in fashion’s
less. So much we learn from a paragraph co
pied elsewhere from the Atlanta Constitution.
We will reprint these decisions when they come
to hand.
One can only laugh at legal remedies for the
collection of debts in Georgia. The man who,
in the face of the action of this State for the
last eight or nine years, gives credit upon any
other basis than personal character, will stand ' of the laboring men.
giddy throng, followingthe example of bondhold
ers and bankers, dancing and feting—whenthou-
sands upon thousands whom we have sworn to
protect are struggling in the jaws of poverty,
with certain destruction at their doors; nay,
friends, ours is not a gathering where flunkey-
ism and shoddy glisten in the gaslight and dazzle
in the sun. We care not to worship gold, nor to
bow in silence to that strategy which has placed
our idols safe, and her millions out of the reach
very much in his own way, and deserves to
lose.
It is true, we shall be told we have now touched
bottom. We have got through with legislative
repudiation, and hereafter legal rights and re
medies will remain undisturbed. Dear reader,
this precise language has been used ever since
the writer was old enough to be interested in
such matters; and it is a solemn fact that in the
last thirty years spent in Florida and Georgia,
there has been but a very small part of the time
in which the operation of the laws for the col
lection of debts has not been under arrest and
suspension.
The moment they become needful they are
declared inoperative. In flush times, when
money is easily obtained they remain a little
while undisturbed. But every pinch has been
“a crisis,” calling for legislative interposition
which strips the creditor of every defence. The
operation of these laws, therefore, has been
highly demoralizing. They have practically given
legislative sanction to fraud, evasion and trick
ery, and rewarded the default of debtors with
legal exemption from payment.
Now, if, hereafter forever, it could be under
stood by all concerned that no well-grounded con
fidence could be reposed in our laws for the collec
tion of debt—that every time they were wanted,
like paddy’s pig, they would turn up missing,
the trade of the country would conform to the
situation and the best results would follow. He
alone would get credit who deserves it. The
prudent, conscientious man—the man who in
the language of Holy Writ,” sweareth to his own
hurt and changeth not”—the man who prefers
to suffer wrong than to do wrong.
All men desirous of obtaining credit would
be extremely punctilious in the fulfilment of
their obligations. They would dread a report
that they had failed to fulfil a pecuniary engage
ment almost as much as that they had com
mitted a fraud. All debts would become debts
of honor, and every man would consider his re
putation and prosperity involved in their
prompt discharge.
Thus a healthy feeling and a right spirit would
be infused in trade, and by the utter extinction
of general and promiscuous credits, debtors
would be the better able to comply with all their
engagements. In this way, if the people are
wise, they may bring good out of evil Let
them understand that it makes no difference
whether the man who seeks credit can or can
not boast of his real estate—his houses, lands
and stocks; if he has not within his breast a
heart that responds freely to all the sentiments
of honor and justice—a heart that could actual
ly preferself-injuryratherthanthat an innocent
and honest neighbor should suffer by reposing
confidence in his ability and integrity, he is no
fit subject for credit. If he needs the interven
tion of courts, lawyers and sheriffs to drive him
into compliance with his plain obligations, then
the only way to deal with him is the strictly
cash principle.
The Cotton CropoflSGO.
The New York Tribune of the I9th says:
The cotton crop of I860 is so well advanced
that we may safely estimate it at three million
■ bales—half a million more than last year. Sup
posing that it nets the planters 23 cents per
poundfgreenbacks,) it will bring them 8300,000,-
000; which is more than they received for the
largest crop ever grown. Formerly they would
have received less than 8200,000,000 for such
a crop, and would have owed more than half of
it to their merchants or factors for advances,
and a still larger share to the negro-traders for
field-hands; so that, when marketed and settled
tot, they would have mill been heavily in debt.
Now, they owe less than half they will receive
to their laborers, who will spend the money at
home, instead of sending it off North to pay for
dead horse.
We have often heard that the South would
never again grow a full crop of Cotton; but we
think differently. If we do not produce five
million bales within ten years from the over
throw of the rebellion, it will be because the
planters can do better growing sugar, rice, to
bacco, etc., than by pushing up the cotton sup
ply to a maximum, and thereby running down
the price. The South never did a better busi
ness than she bids fair to do this year.
And an editorial we copy to-day from the
r.Snrlpgtnn News makes the same estimate.
Last July we pleased ourselves with the antici
pation that the crop of 1SC9 would mount very
nearly up to three millions of bales if it did
not reach that figure; but since that time Geor
gia alone has been cut down fifty to a hundred
thousand bales by drought, caterpillar and rust,
and we are full in the faith that the crop will
not exceed twenty-five hundred thousand bales,
The West Georgia Gazette.
We invite attention to tho advertisement of
this excellent paper which has a fine circulation
in the counties of Western Georgia and is one
of the most judicious conservative and intelli
gent papers in the State.
Early Both.—Fourteen bales of new cot
ton were received in Macon yesterday. The
very disasters which are cutting the crop short
are of course precipitating its maturity. The
dry weather—the scorching sun—the rust,
which is denuding the plant of leaves—are all
combining to open the bolls rapidly, and the
high price is bringing it in as fast as it can be
packed. We are sorry that so pleasant a story
as the cotton crop of 1809 should be cut off in
the middle.
New England Factories on Haw Time.—
The telegrams say the Fall river factories have
begun to run on half time. The price of
manufactured goods does not keep up with the
advance in cotton; but, as the stock on hand
oannot be very excessive, and money is abund
ant, we cannot believe there will be much run
ning on half time.
Mas. Stowe's onslaught upon Lord Byron, in
the Atlantic Monthly, has drawn down upon her
ladyship, severe animadversions from Forney’s
Press, the New York Times, the Commercial
Advertiser and doubtless some other prints of
Badical persuasion. All these prints discredit
the nicest story.

Mr. Greeley says “the fewer falsehoods Geo,

Mr. Greeley bring all the weight of his personal
experience to back these assertions ?
2. A blunderbus at the tariffites, railway and
telegraph monopolists, and so on.
3. A broadside in favor of repudiation:
There are two echoes in tho great gulf which
divides us—on the one Eide we hear the nation’s
promises to pay, honor!—on the other we hear
repudiation; and of the latter term, which
seems to shock the parlor patriots, let us say no
more. It is not the voice of the few who have
grown desperate and reckless. It is the sober
second thought of the old men of oar time who
look out into the darkness abont ns, and know
in their sonls there is no hope for the genera
tion who shall follow them—naught but our
sure gliding into decay and destruction.
4. The Convention demands the eight hour
law—the cooperation system—repudiates both
parties as utterly corrnpt and unprincipled, and
declares:
The villainous land system which we have
condemned at Chicago stands in our way, and
must be removed. We must secure the crop to
the hands that raise it, and abolish the tolls col
lected by landlords on our food, shelter, and
clothing, for looking on and seeing others work.
We must overthrow the present iniquitous
money system, and provide one consonant with
the Constitution of the United States. We must
establish the principle that the trafficker is the
servant of the producer, and not his master, and
restrict by law the gains of all distributors, both
of men and goods. The dignity of labor has
been asserted by politicians; it is for us to pro
claim and secure the dignity of the laborer by
asserting his prior right to all the productions
of his toil.
The Horrible Story Finally Disposed
ot.
Dublin, Ga., August 20, 1869.
Editors Telegraph—I notice in your paper of
the 15th an article, “Horrible Rumor,” which
induces me to give you further particulars. Our
town has been startled with the same story,
except that it was located about four miles
from Milledgeville, and the name of the two
young ladies given as the daughters of a gen
tleman, to many of ns well known and highly
esteemed. This startling and unnatural story
was brought to ns by a young man calling
himself Charley Little, and son of Dr. Little,
of Milledgeville, who remained in onr town
from Monday evening till last Tuesday night,
when he left unceremoniously, leaving his
horse and all with the hotel-keeper, but taking
with him two fine pistols of his landlord. He
was seen floating down the river next morning
in a small boat, calling himself Wright, in
search of the one-armed negro. Leaving the
river, he proceeded to the farm of William
Mc’Lendon, where, with the same old story,'
and that his horse had fallen dead in the road,
he procured a fine mule. Well mounted, and
with a young man accompanying him, he was
proceeding on the Darien road to Mount Ver
non, where he expected to find the negro, but
was apprehended and brought back to Dublin,
where he now is lodged in jail for misappropri
ating Mr Keen’s pistols.
Charley Little, alias Wright, is abont twenty-
three years old; light hair and gray eyes;
abont five feet seven inches high ; spare build ;
quick speech; rather daring appearance. He
must be either an escaped convict, or deserving
to be one. He was seen with some money;
pretended to have a good deal—but when
caught had none at all.
I write you this particularly that you may
call the attention of the public to his character,
as yon may think proper, suspecting that others
may have suffered at his hands, for he is cer
tainly a daring villain. Yours, etc.
Jonathan Bivebs.
From Lee County.
Cobs, August 17, 18C9.
Editors Telegraph : I write not from Ireland,
but from Lee county. Cork, like many of the
greatest empires of the earth has been whirled
nto nonentity by the reveling eddies of time. It
was once a snng village standing on the banks
of tho Flint. It is here no longer except in
name. Its bright eyes, its happy hearts, its
social enjoyments, where are they and what are
they now ?
The com crop in this county is very good,
generally, and cotton promises a good yield, if
not too mnch affected by the rust, which is
more or less in all the cotton I have seen. I
passed yesterday the plantation of your towns
man, Col. Bass, on which I saw mnch the best
crop I have seen anywhere. Under the super
vision of his overseer, Mr. Green Cross he will
realize more than a bale to two acres, and more
than eight bales to the hand. The com, cane
and potatoes are also producing a most thrifty
yield. Mr. Crop is a clever gentleman, and ha’s
no superior as a farmer and manager of freed-
men. Cotton in this neighborhood is opening
rapidly. Fast pickers are getting out over two
hundred ponnds in the day.
The dry weather seems to have injured the
cane crop in Lee irretrievably. I notice nearly
all the cotton along the road ‘is either the Dixon
or Peeler cotton, the former mostly. I noticed
Mr. Dan Green’s fields were white with the
cotton we picked when we were boys—the old,
common cotton, but uncommonly ’productive.
Dan used but little guano; bis principal manure
was elbow grease, and it lias been a success.
Yours, etc., Rusncus.
The New Cotton Crop—Fine Prospect
lor the South.
A few bales, and the first of the new cotton
crop, have come to the New York market.
That from Georgia, classed as low middling,was
sold at auction for thirty-six cents a pound: and
that from Alabama, classed as strict middling,
brought forty-eight and a half cents. These, it
is true, may be termed rather fancy prices, as
the first bale or two of the new cotton crop al
ways brings more than those that come after.
But it is an indication of what the price will
be hereafter. We may conclude, therefore, that
the crop of 1869 will realize an immense sum
of money. This crop is variously estimated—
between two millions and a half bales to three
millions—probably it may reach two millions
seven hundred or two millions eight hundred
thousand bales. If the average price through
out the season of sales should not exceed twenty-
five cents a pound — though from present
appearances it will be higher than that—
the crop will be worth over two hundred mil
lions of dollars. From all the light before ns
there is reason to believe it will bring nearly
that sum in gold This production, too, is in
addition to the tobacco, sugar and other valua
ble crops of the South for exportation. Be
sides, that section of the country since the war
has paid more attention to the raising of grain,
com and other articles of food, and is now, per
haps, independent, or nearly so, of outside sup
plies. In short, the South this year will have a
surplus production to be sold for cash over and
above the production of necessities worth, at
least, two hnndred millions of dollars. Who
will not say the South is becoming rich again ?
We must admire the wonderful recuperative
power of the people there and congratulate them
on the splendid prospect they have of material
prosperity. With more labor and capital to de
velop their resources the Southern States will be
come very soon the richest country on the globe.

Geo. II Pendleton on Hatters and
Tilings-
A New York Sun correspondent has been in
terviewing Geo. H. Pendleton with the following
result, in part:
Reporter—And what aro your views upon the
fifteen amendment ?
the fifteenth amendment—vxbginia’s action.
Mr. Pendleton—The Democrats of Ohio are
bitterly opposed to the adoption of the fifteenth
amendment. Perhaps I onght to state that the
people of Ohio are opposed to it; because two
years ago, whenthe question on the amendment
of our State Constitution was submitted to them
they rejected it by an immense majority, and
it was mainly on that issue that we carried the
Legislature. Wo are opposed to the fifteenth
amendment because we adhere to the constitu
tional idea that each State shall regulate this
question of suffrage for itself.
Reporter—And what do you think of the
course pursued by tho Democrats of Virginia
The Cotton Supply.
From the Neto York Tribune of the 20/A,]
A geographical faot of the greatest import
ance lies at the foundation of all just views on
the question of the cotton supply. England be
lieves that deeper, plowing, selector seed, more
diligent culture, nicer picking and marketing,
will enable her to offset our South with India.
As to quantities, this may be; as to quality of
staple, never; and this is the reason:
Cotton, as to the size of the plant and the
number of pods it bolds, depends upon richness
of soil and solar heat. These England finds in
sufficient perfection in the .valley of the Ganges
and on the table-lands of Deccan. But as to
the color and the oiliness of the seed,the fineness
and length of its silken filaments, cotton varies
in quality according to the mildness and e !
ness of the autumnal climate. Different'
gions in our sunny cotton belt differ
this respect, but the contrast is a mild one,
and we have a great advantage over the
whole of the East Indian Peninsula. After
July our Southern climate is, for the most
and Tennessee, in allying themselves to the Con-) part ruined ^till^ late^ in^ the^fall. This is
servative Republicans?
Mr. Pendleton—They certainly acted wisely;
that was the best thing they could do, if they
would shake off Badical misrule.
Reporter—What of Gen. Grant’s Reconstruc
tion policy and administration in general ?
GRANT.
Mr. Pendleton—I never understood that Gen
eral Grant had a policy concerning anything.
The reconstruction policy of Congress, which
consists in compelling the States to amend their
State constitutions and the Federal Constitution
according to extreme Radical ideas, is the price
at which they are to be relieved from military
caused by the high lauds, which commence
from one to two hundred miles from the sea
side, where the best cotton grows. Clouds
loaded with moisture from the Gulf, and the
ocean off Florida are wafted northward, but do
not discharge their contents till they reach the
cool wooded slopes of the Cumberland and Alle
ghany Mountains. This circumstance gives
America her unequalled advantages as a produ
cer of long cottons. In India there is a small
district where the conditions are somewhat sim
ilar, and rain-clonds in the picking season are
attracted northward across the lower portion of
the Ganges Valley to expend their waters upon
the frigid slopes of the range that parts India

ject of General Grant's appointments, I fear I
cannot express myself fully as I would desire,
and my reason for so doing is, that when I can
not speak of the Chief Magistrate of my country
in respectful terms, rather than do otherwise I
prefer to be silent. I will say this mnch, how
ever, that for any President to appoint men to
office whose only qualification consists in being
a relative, or having given his Excellency money
and houses, is infamous. A man holding so ex

detestable and shameful.

grasping as ever, she has of late
been moving to secure that hereditary pet of
all her policies a monopoly. She proposes to
do it by active and potent stimulants applied
to cotton culture in the Ganges Valley, and
the transporting facilities of that country. In

the successive appearance of the aphis, the
honey dew, and the rust on tho same cotton,
makes a strong case in favor of the view of the
Jefferson planter.
But the inquiry arises, why is it, as the ob
servations of other planters leavens no room to
doubt, that the rust is most destructive on the
guanoed cotton? We think that this, too, may
be explained in a manner perfectly consistent
with, if not confirmatory of, the theory of the
Jefferson planter. The gnano makes a rapid,
tender and sappy growth of the cotton plant,
and this condition of the plant is just what the
aphis delights in—perhaps it has some agency
in creating the aphis to feed on its own redun
dant succulence.
If this theory should be established or accept
ed, planters may hereafter find a means of pre
venting rust by destroying the lice. It was sta
ted at a late meeting of the East Alabama Agri
cultural Association, that the lice might be ef
fectually and rapidly killed or driven off by
sprinkling ashes or land plaster over the plants,
and that one hand could sprinkle several acres
in a day. _
