THE TELEGRAPH.
MAOON, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 10, li).
Xbe Macon and Brunswick lUtlroail.
The grading of this road ia now so nearly com
pleted that we may aa well say—done. What
remains is inconsiderable. Of the traak-layiag,
thirteen miles remain to be laid to Lumber City
on the Ocmnlgee, and it will be dose in about a
fortnight On the other side of the river, thirty-
five miles, are to be laid, and it will be finished
on time, that is, abont the first day of Novem
ber or before.
The road will be provided with* splendid outfit
of motive power and rolling stock, which will be
on hand so soon as the track is finished. The
passenger cars will be of the moat modem and
improved kind.
Senator Fessenden.—This gentleman has
been hovering round the point of death for
several days, from a terrible malady, (as we
judge by the expressions of the telegram,) the
technical name of which we have forgotten—but
it is strangulation of the bowels—some unnatu
ral contortion or twisting of the intestinal canals
by which communication is entirely cut off and
•death results from inflammation and gangrene.
We recollet Hugh S. Legate died of this mal
ady, during the visit of President Tyler to Bos
ton ; and several cases of it have occurred
among’ our personal acquaintance. One in Bal
timore was treated with doses-'of quicksilver, we
suppose more for the benefit of the specific
gravity of the dose than anything else, but it
failed.; and the unhappy man lived nearly a
week in a hopeless condition. Another, in
Florida, was treated, after all other experiments
had failed, with an enormous draught of melted
lard—nearly a quart; and it was claimed to
have cured him. At anyrate, he survived, and
died in Texas, of fever, years afterwards.
Meeting oi the Central Executive
Democratic Committee.
We find the following call published in the
Atlanta Constitution of yesterday:
Atlanta, September 4,1809.—The members
of the Central Executive Committee of the
Democratic party of Georgia are requested to
meet in the office of Dr. J. F. Alexander, in At
lanta, on Wednesday the 15th inst., at 9 o’clock
a. m. on business of importance.
E. G. Cabaniss, Chairman.
Democratic papers in Georgia are requested to
copy.
Messrs. Visscher, Westcott & Co., of Fort
Valuev.—We are indebted to these gentlemen
for a box of canned peaches, put up in beautiful
style, and no doubt we shall find them “as good
as they look.” Messrs. V., W. & Co., have, we
understand, this year put up about twenty-two
thousand cans, and we hope in a few years they
will put up as many hundred thousand. We
have been informed by dealers in peaches that
a much larger production in America would
vastly increase the demand—for the fruit would
then become an important article of export trade
to Europe, where the peach is held in high es
teem—is a costly fruit—produced with difficulty,
and not by any means in the perfection it at
tains on the North American continent.
Common School Education in Boston.—The
Boston Traveler gives the consolidated city
school reports for the year ending April SO,
18G9. The total expenditures on account of
schools and school houses were $1,327,287, of
which $982,677 was for ordinary school outlays.
The total number of pupils was 16,167 which,
it will be seen, is a little over $G0 dollars per
year to the pupiL This sum, however, includes
books to the indigent; and the average is much
increased by the cost per pupil in the high
schools. In the Latin High School it was $111
80. In the English High School $116 44. In
the girl’s high and normal school it was $87 75.
In the grammar sohools it ranges from $25 38
to $46 16,
The Cotton Crop.
A recent trip on the Milledgeville and Eaton-
ton Branch Railroad convinces us that if our
State makes aa much cotton as last year we will
be fortunate. The fields generally, present the
appearance as to life of the plant, condition of
the leaves, etc., as they usually do in November
after the first frost of autumn. There was a
good bottom crop made, a fair middle crop and
no late or August crop unless in exceptional
cases. Cotton is mostly open and picking is
fine; but it will soon be gathered. That section,
we hope, will raise enough com for home con
sumption.
Small creeks have entirely dried up and many
mills stopped for want of water.
From Brunswick.—We have the Seaport Ap
peal of the 4th, for the first time for several
weeks. What has been the matter? We trust
the Appeal does not cut ns off in our prime. The
Appeal is principally down on Savannah and the
Central for their alleged monopolizing spirit,
and characterizes the former as the “ Southern
Hub.” We hope to see Brunswick a prosperous
and growing city without taking a leaf from the
laurels of Savannah. There’s room for both on
this round globe of ours, and we bid both God
speed. '
Sharp Fellows.—The Savannah papers con
dole with their brethren of the up-country who
were so unfortunate as not, like themselves, to
see through the millstone of the Halbert-Press
Excursion, and avoid the political snare. They
should remember that we up-country people
cannot sharpen our wits every day against the
Savannah “bricks.” If we could, wo might ri
val their sagacity and stand the test of Hudi-
bras:'
“Optics sharp it needs. I ween.
To see what is not to bo seen.”
Macon and Augusta Railroad.—About 800
hands are now at work on that portion of the
road between Macon and Milledgeville which
remains to -be graded. The expectation is to
put the whole of the line in operation about
next mid-summer.
The New Era announces that “the Republi
can party is fast becoming a unit all over the

tV aa Jwdxr and Juror.
Mourned our Northern brethren are getting
their Woinaohs full of negro justice and vent
their complaints to the pitiless skieB.
Ca*e \ is that of L. P. Smith, of Charleston,
ex-registrar aud United States army offloer.—
He fought, bled and died for the Union, only to
find himself a prisoner by command of one
Aaron Logan, a sbirtless corn-field negro, play
ing Justice of the Peace under commission of
Gov. Soott, of South Carolina. It seems Smith
while on the Board of Registration, caused the
arrest and imprisonment of Logan, in Castle
Pinckney, for incendiary conduct and languages
Logan is a party driver for the Radicals, and
brutal, insolent and ignorant in the last degree,
logon watched his opportunity for revenge on
Smith and found it some time last week, on oc
casion of a complaint by Smith before Lncns, a
white magistrate, of the misdemeanors of a
colored woman on his plantation.
Logan got out a habeas corpus and had Smith
arrested, without warrant, by four negroes, and
carried off nine miles to Logan’s house. Here
Smith was put through a course of training by
the negroes, which made every drop of his
loyal blood boil with rage. He was taught to
take his hat off, make his bow and show his
“respeo for de oonrt,” and was finally bound
over to answer for assault and battery and com
mitted to jail for contempt.
The wrongs and sufferings of the loyal Smith
are the subject of long editorials in the Charles
ton papers of Monday. "We condole with him,
but cannot help him. His appeal lies to the
loyalists of the North.
2. Columbus, Mississippi, has had another
rich case, in the trial of one “Rev. Pleasant
Bowler," for shooting Cline, Radical Sheriff of
the county, while in the lawful custody of the
latter, for inciting riot in the streets of Colum
bus. Bowler is a terrible scoundrel and impos
ter, but also a terrible power among the blacks.
He was tried before c. b. Judge Brown, just
from Ohio. The jury were all black—not one
could read, and ten ont of the twelve sat in
their shirt sleeves, filthy and covered with rags.
All the facts were proved by unimpeachable
witnesses; and the only defence set np was that
“brudder Bowler was "Hot in his right mind.
The case was closed at 3 o’clock in the morning
after long and eloquent speeches by the advo
cates, and upon the reassembling of the court
after breakfast, the jury came in with the fol
lowing verdict: “We is all ob de ’pinion dat
brudder Pleasant Bowler didn't do it.”
Accordingly, the court directed a verdict of
not guilty” to bo entered, and the “intelligent
jury” were dismissed. “ A Northerner,” in a
letter to the Louisville Journal, developes these
facts, togother with an immense amount of in
dignation ; but as this is the kind of justice his
countrymen prefer for the South, if not for
themselves, we think he wastes his astonishment
and horror.
A Sad Spectacle.
One of the most lugubrious spectacles ex
hibited in this untoward generation was seen in
Nashville, the other day, when eight of the
Radical Representatives in Congress got to
gether and issued a formal Protest against the
late election in Tennessee. When tho Radicals
in Georgia undertook to fraudulate fifty thou
sand Democratic majority in this State, we
thought it a strong case. They deserved sym
pathy— they had declared open war on common
sense and human reason. But when it comes
to seventy thousand majority—that is still more
startling. It is the twelfth juror cursing the
obstinacy and folly of his eleven compeers. It
is the old heretic of Noah’s flood re-enacted,
who sat on the top of the highest rock swearing
he meant to bring suit against the corporation
for not providing proper drainage.
What will these protesters have done ? Do
they expect Congress to interfere—annuli the
election and back Stokes in his threatened
Coup tf etat f They don’t say, and probably
they dare not say. They protest, and they set
forth to Congress and the country the horrid
ills which most follow if the election is per
mitted to stand, but they dare not recommend
any positive course in the premises. They
shrink from any direct appeal to Congress to
annuli the ballot and set the election aside.—
And what they dare not recommend, even for
the temporary salvation of their own political
bacon, they can scarcely hope Congress will
dare undertake.
Indeed, so far as we are concerned, we should
be glad to see this question of Congressional
interference with the freedom of elections, take
a shape which no man conld hereafter evado or
misrepresent. We should be glad to see Con
gress proclaim openly—the position it has prac
tically assumed in tho South, that hereafter no
State election the results of which are unsatis
factory to the Radical party, shall bo permitted
to stand. We should then, at least, know how
matters stand and what is the character of the
government.
No donbt these gentlemen feel much ag
grieved by the Tennessee election. It sounded
the death knell to all their political prospects.—
It emancipated the whites. It pat an end to a
stupendous Ethiopian Imposition: but it is too
big a case for their management.
Middle Georgia Colored Baptist As
sociation.
This body met in Eatonton, Georgia, on Sat
urday last, and adjourned onFriday, 7th instant.
Rev. Wilkes Flagg, of Milledgeville, was the
presiding officer, and we leam from those who
were present that he presides with great dignity,
and preserves admirable order. It was the oc
casion of quite a large assemblage of the colored
people in the village, and it affords ns pleasure
to chronicle the fact that their conduct was or
derly daring the whole time.
An important step has been taken in connec
tion with the Colored Baptist Ministry, by Rev.
E. W. Warren, Pastor of the First Baptist
Church of this city. Mr. Warren was at the
meeting of the Association on the last day, and
proposed to board for one month in Macon, say
December next, fifty colored Baptist Ministers,
and arrange for their instruction by a catecheti
cal system of lectures by himself and other
prominent Georgia Baptist Ministers. The
subjects on which they are to be lectured are
the following: Scriptural Interpretation—
Scriptural Geography — Scriptural History—
Christian Doctrine — Christian Experience—
Holy laving—Church Discipline—Ministerial
Qualifications—Composition of Sermons—De
livery of Sermons and Church Organization.
His proposition was gratefully received by the
Moderator and the Association generally, and we
have no donbt Mr. Warren will moke a success
of it, and add materially to the efficiency of the
colored ministry.
The Association, by the way, we hear adopted
a resolution looking to three examinations of can
didates before they are fully licensed to preach.
The Cotton-Crop of I860.
Correcting an estimate made by the Charles
ton News, a correspondent of that paper insists
that the crop of this year will not be more than
200,000 bales over that of 1808. We shall be
surprised if it is as much. All the accounts of tho
crop in Georgia whioh reach us, show that the
fields nowlook much as they usually do in No
vember. The crop is almost universally made.
Picking will be pretty mnch over by the middle
or last of October. This is ah extraordinary
state of affairs, and although a greater area was
cultivated than last year, we have serious doubts
whether the yield'will be greater. We hope it
will, but really see no gnat chance for it
The Coining Immigration and the
Labor Question.
While we are discussing questions respecting
Chinese snd foreign immigration, we are really
overlooking the kind of immigration most im
minent and the source from which it is to come.
These were pointed out last spring in a charge
to the Grand Jury of Dougherty by Hon. J. M.
Clarke, which was printed in the Telegraph
about that time. The Judge prophesied a
heavy emigration of the freedmen from Virginia
and the other border States—gradually retiring
before the inflny of white immigration and
white labor.
Repeated extracts from the Virginia papers
which we have copied, of late, show that this
movement has begum A statement reprinted
yesterday from the Lynchburg News, says that
the crop failure in Virginia will drive the ne
groes by thousands southward from Virginia
during the ensniDg winter. The Danville Times
says that Virginia will soon bo occupied by
small immigrant proprietors from other States,
and the colored population will move rapidly
southward. We have also published announce
ments of the actual beginning of such an exo
dus from Virginia, so that we may justly assume
that the theory of the Judge is fast taking the
shape of fact
On the other hand, we leam from many trust
worthy sources that the negro population is
rapidly leaving the rich alluviums and prairie
lands of the Southwest, and seeking the up
lands. They will not consent to labor in insalu
brious localities. Sickness is very fatal where
there is no provision for medical advice and
remedies, and proper food and care for the pa
tient, and where these are had the expenses
sweep away the small earnings of the laborers.
Thus, under the combined operation of these
causes the circle of the colored habitat is fast
narrowing. This population is gradually work
ing towards a common centre—the great upland
ootton region of Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi
and Tennessee. Here they have a mild and
healthful climate, and here they can find abnn
dant labor and good wages in the production of
food and upland cotton crops. Their places in
the great cotton alluviums, if supplied at all,
must be filled by Asiatics, and many millions of
the Chinese are bom in and people just such
regions. We believe the Mississippi alluviums
and the rich prairies of the Southwest can well
afford to offer such superior inducements to
Chinese labor, as will command it and insure
that vast region of unrivalled fertility from all
danger of relapsing Into jungle.
But wc, in the Southern uplands, sea in this
movement of the colored population that onr
supply of negro labor is probably destined to
increase from year to year, and that we occupy
the point around which the last of the colored
race will cluster in the final issue of the great
industrial conflict with the white race. We
need not, therefore, vex ourselves with the
problem of Chinese immigration. We should
rather leam to do our best with the negro, and
prepare to compete, through him, with Asiatic
labor employed in the production of lowland
cottons.
The best and most practical minds in these
States should be turned to digesting the best
systems of labor employment and management
—the best system of police for the protection
of property, the collection of wages, enforce
ment of contracts, the security of labor against
crime, demoralization, fraud, and imposition,
and in fine, the harmonizing of the interests of
the white and colored populations upon the best
possible foundation.
Let us assume, once for all, that the kind of
agricultural labor we have is to be ours for at
least a generation, and turn onr thoughts away
from vain speculations about some other, to
the practical point—how we may best utilise,
control, and govern what we have for the inter
ests of all concerned.
Columbus Affairs.
The Sun of Tuesday says there was a heavy
rain on Sunday on the Talbotton road, within
five miles of Columbus, and abundant rains have
fallen in the southern part of Russell county
and in other sections of Alabama. There was
a slight drizzle in Columbus on Monday. The
mill and ginhonse of Wm. G. Woolfolk, eight
miles below Columbus, were burned on Sunday.
-Mr. Eugene Stewart, a young and promi
nent merchant of Colnmbus, died on Monday
evening of congestive fever. Trinity Church
has chosen Rev. S. S. Harris, late of Montgom
ery, to be its Rector. A novel claim of suc
cession to the estate of T. W. Brantley has
arisen by the appearance of a woman claim
ing to be his widow. A woman unknown, left
by an unknown man for accouchment at a house
in Columbus, died of congestive chill, which
seized her immediately after her companion had
left her. She refosed to make any disclosures
and was anxious to die.

FROM CUBA.
The Cubans have the following to tho 20th : A re-

Principe, were defeated. It i3 reported that Puerto
Principe has been abandoned, the Spaniards having
retreated to NenvitaB. Valmazada’a forces moved
from Los Tonos and attacked the Cubans, who were
concentrating in that vicinity under Quesada. Val
in azada commanded the Spaniards. The force was
composed of twenty-five hundred regulars and fif
teen hundred volunteers. The engagement lasted
four hours. The Spaniards were repulsed with heavy
loss. Tho Cuban loss was over one hundred. Val-
mazada found refuge under the fortifications of
Los Tonos, which Quesada, without artillery, was
unable to attack.
In the fight reported in Puerto La Grande in which
a Spanish force of over Beven hundred was defeated,
it is stated that after the first fire tho troops desert

The Pennsylvania Disaster.
Scranton, September 7.—All work is stopped in
this vicinity. Two men who ventured down to res
cue thoso in the mine perished. The trains are
bringing miners from ail quarters free of charge to
pid in rescuing the bodies whether dead or alive.—
The widows and orphans will not be less than six
hundred in number. The prolonged strikes, just
closed, increases the destitutions. Tbe men who
descended the shaft found the doors at the bottom
dosed, and lost their lives while waiting below for
implements with which to force the doors. They
are supposed to bavo been closed by the miners to
exdude tho flames.
Later.—Tho only hope for the safety of tho two
hundred and two men in Arondale mine, lies in tho
probability that they may have shut themselves up
in a remote part of the mine, away from the shaft
The death of thoeo who descended the shaft to res
cue them, was caused from foul air coming from
the mine. '!<
Scranton, September 8.—Two bodies have been
brought up swelled beyond recognition. Clots of
blood dung about their mouths, and they were hor
rible objects.
It now seems that the efforts made to save the
miners probably caused their death. The volume
of air sent down for ventilation carried tho flames
from the horning shaft into the mine.' Nothing is
now being done except throwing water down tbe
shaft. Approach to tho mouth of the mine is still
dangerous.
Later.—One hundred and three bodies have been
brought up.

U. S. Commissioner’s Court.—Court met at 10
o’clock yesterday forenoon pursuant to adjourn
ment, and after tbe Marshal had commanded silence
and order, Hon. H. S. Fitch, of Savannah, on the
paitof W. B. Johnson et al, Cuban patriots, pro
ceeded to read various points of law in support of
his motion, on the day before, to discharge the par
ties, as they had been arrested beyond the jurisdic
tion of this Court, and there was no authority here
to hold the prisoners, or to hear and determine upon
tho charges against them.
Col. Jno. B. Weems, on the part of the govern
ment, replied at some length, and insisted that as
the accused bad committed an offence against the
laws of tho United States and not againat the laws
of Georgia; this Court, as a court of the general
Government, for the Southern District of Georgia,
did have the right to hear and determine the matter
now before it.
Col. Jno. Milledge, U. S. District Attorney, fol
lowed in justification of the act of tho U. 8. Mar
shal in arresting the prisoners wherever they might
he fonnd, on land or sea, within the jurisdiction of
the United States. The parties were not arrested
in Enfaula, Ala., without authority* They were ar
rested by authority of this Court and under a war
rant from it ob a legal power of the Government.
Hon. H. S. Fitch then replied to tbe arguments of
Cols. Milledge and Weems at considerable length
and with great learning, logic and power, insisting
upon it, that this Court was one of limited jurisdic
tion ; if not, where did its limit extend and where
begin ? He submitted the question.
The Court ruled that tbe arrest of the prisoners
at Euf aula, by the United States Marshal was valid,
to all intents and purposes, and cited authority for
its action in ordering the arrest . This decision set
tled for the time the case of the Atlanta prisoners.
Tho Court then proceeded to an examination of
the case of the United States it. John Puryear. for
a violation of the Neutrality Laws, and the follow
ing witnesses were examined:
Edward Strohecker, jr., sworn, says: I know John
Puryear; had an interview with him at tho Lanier
Honso two weeks ago, relative to going out to Cuba.
He said he was a recruiting officer, and was author
ized to give $33 per month to all enlisted men.
There were five or six present. I accepted tho offer
and volunteered to join the expedition against the
Cuban authorities.
Cross Examined: We were down stairs in the sit
ting room of the Lanier House. Mr. Freeman and
Mr. Wycho were present. I don’t know who intro
duced ino to Mr. Puryear. I asked him what was
intended to be donehe said it was a filibustering
expedition. He said tho $35 would be paid in gold,
but said nothing about bounty. Ho got me to raise
a company. I raised some fifty or sixiy. I re
ceived no money; was not to receive any until wo
were on board the steamer. I saw no arms or ac
coutrements ; made the affidavit on which Mr. Pur
year was arrested. Am a citizen of the United
States.
J. S. Yowls, sworn, says: I know Mr. Puryear;
have seen him in presence of last witness; never
heard any promises made by Mr. Paryear; met him
at my boarding house; he told me he was bound for
Cuba, and that I should have tho same inducements
he possessed.
Cross Examined bp XT. S. Counsel: He stated he
was to command a company of partizan rangers,
and said that all competent young men would re
ceive good positions. He offered me no pay, if I
agreed to go.
Re-examined by Counsel for defence: Was not an
enlisted man and never signed my name to any
muster roll.
Here the Counsel turned to Mr. Strohecker, asked
him if he ever made out a muster roll. To which
Mr. Strohecker replied: I have sir; the company
was to be colled Company H, when we got to Cuba.
The list of names I saw had its caption or heading,
“List of Company H,”nothing more; don’t know
what become of the list; would not know a copy of
the muster roll if it was in court to-day.
James S. Freeman, sworn, says: Know Mr. Pur
year; was not present at Lanier Houbo when Mr,
Strohecker was introduced; I was never offered any
inducements to join the expedition. Mr. Stroheck
er asked mo to join; I have never been arrested;
have never signed my name to any military con
tract.
Percy Clancy, sworn, says: Heard Mr. Paryear
say $35 per month was offered to recruits; never
received a dime. I put ray name down to go, but
had a privato conversation with my father, who
advised me not to go. He said wo would all be
brought back, and I determined then not to go.
Cannot tell whother I was regularly enlisted or not,
did not hear any one say the Cuban government
would pay for our services, that I remember; my
name was signed for mo with my consent.
Court adjourned till 2% o’clock p, m.
Afternoon Proceedings.—The Court convened
at 3 p. m—attendance as compared with that of the
morning rather slim. The Marshal called those
present to order snd commanded silence, when
Hon. Henry S. Fitch, counsel for the accused, pro
ceeded to argue the case. He strongly maintained
the point, and cited numerous passages of law in
support of it, that no enlistment can be made un
less accompanied by an oath of allegiance to the
government about to bo served; that a mere enroll
ment of a recruit does not constitute enlistment;
the recruit must sign bis name to the articles of en
listment with his own hand, or it must be done with
his personal consent and knowledge and in his pres
ence. In the case now. before the Court nothing of
tho sort had been done and, consequently, tbe pros
ecution was without a case. The learned and elo
quent gentleman was extremely sarcastic and scath
ing in his remarks upon the character of the testi
mony given, by Mr. Strohecker.
Col. Weems followed m behalf of the prosecution,
claiming that the accused had so clearly, palpably
and openly violated tbe Neutrality Laws, (a portion
of which he read) that the Court must bind the ac
cused over to the United States District Court, to
answer for the offence.
At'the dose of Col. W.’s argument Commissioner
Morrill announced that his decision would be re-.,
served until this morning at 10 o'clock, whereupon
ttye Marshal adjourned the Court till that hour.

FINANCM, AND COMMERCIAL.
Weekly Review of the Market.
OFFICE DAILY TELEGRAPH, 1
September 8—Evening, 1869.)
General Remarks.—Barring the eearetty of mo
ney, we have to report a very good wholesale and
jobbing trade in this city for the first week of our
commercial year. But for the scarcity of money re
ferred to, the trade .would have been considerably
larger; but, nevertheless, it wee unusually good,
owing to the great activity in the cotton market,
■which market Is the barometer of trade at the South.
Our merchants, in all branches of business, have
been unusually busy the past week in receiving new
goods, and in a short while "they can boast of as
large and well assorted stocks ss can be found in the
State.
Financial.—We have etillno change to note in the
condition of the money market It continues strin
gent, as the rapidly increasing crop of cotton ab
sorbs every surplus dollar in the hands of capitalists,
and the banka are not yet prepared to make ad
vances. With the exception of a slight advance iit
the buying and selling rates of gold, we have no
change to make in financial quotations.
The stock and bond market is perfectly flat No
demand. Quotations unchanged.
Cotton.—Receipts to-day 582 bales ; sales 89;
shipped 182.
Receipts for the week ending this evening 1863
bales; sales for same time 1072; shipments 1244.
Receipts for the first eight days of September,
1868, amounted to 252 bales; receipts for the same
time, 1869, amount to 2052 bales.
The market during the week ending this evening
has been firm and active on a basis of 30 cents for
middlings. Today, however, the demand was checked
under the unfavorable market reports from New
York and Liverpool, and tho market closed very
quiet at SO cents, nominal, for middlings.

Groceries and Provisions.—Trade has been mod
erately active for the week ending this evening, and
prices for leading articles have been fully main
tained. Corn has advanced folly ten cents per
bushel since the date of our last weekly review, and
the stock in market is now very low. In the face of
an extremely short crop of com in Tennesseee and
in the Northwest, it is a source of much satisfaction
to know that the crop of com in the Cotton States is
larger, perhaps, than it has been for years, andwith
rigid economy in its consumption our planters may
be able to keep down famine prices next spring and
summer.
Bacon has been steady and firm, with a good de
mand, all the week under review.
Flour is in fair demand, with a large and choice
stock in market.
Cotton-baling material has been in strong demand
all the week, and the sales have been numerous and
heavy. Tbe stock is still ample to supply all ordi
nary demands. Quotations tell the rest:

stopped his horse on Cotton Avenue to repU^’
bridle bit which had fallen out of the horse’g mouth
and white doing so, something frightened the j^l

down Cotton Avenue and then up Second sw?
He first attempted to run into Wing’s jewelrv gJ
but was frightened back, when he ran on

An EjlEcrablk Wretch A mean white wretch,
named Donalaon, a day or Two since, in Atlanta, ea-
ticed a poor white woman, with several children, to
break up house-keeping in that city, sell her fund-
tore, and come to thia city or neighborhood, and he
would give her a good home and her children lucrv
tive employment in picking ont his cotton. The
woman took the scoundrel’s advice, and placed ia
hi3 hands the proceeds of the sale of herfnnutnre,
and on reaching this city, the day before yesterdij
her betrayer deserted her, and went off on die
Brunswick Railroad yesterday morning, leafing the
poor woman and her children here among strangen,
and without a doliar. She stated her case to the
city authorities, and officer Pridgen left yesterdiy
afternoon in pursuit of the inhuman dog.
Cotton Receipts.—Yesterday morning’s Cohmi-
bus freight train brought through for Savannah 153
bales of cotton, and for Macon 26.

Tuesday evening last, exceed those of the com*-
ponding week in 1868,1,971 bales.
Desperate and Fatal Affray.—Conductor Har
ris, who came in yesterday morning on the 4:43ft-' |
lumbus freight train, reports that a desperate id
fatal affray occurred at the machine shop oi the j
Southwestern railroad, in Columbus, on Tueedijit
ternoon last, between Mr. Isles, boss' madiinUtaf
the shop, and a young man named Raddiff, a
which Raddiff was killed on the spot, and Isles vu
so badly cut up with a knife as to leave no bop* |
that he will recover.
It appears that Raddiff, awhile back, had applied
to Isles for a situation in the shop, and the impret-
sion was made upon his mind that he would, probe {
bly, get it. But he was subsequently informed tbit j
be could not get the situation. This incensed Eti-1
cliff, and, arming himself with a knife, he assails! I
Mr. Isles most violently and cut him in* seven) I
places before Isles could draw bis pistol. He ea> I
ceeded in a moment, however, in getting it out, ul I
the parties then had it between them, toa to toe, f
the one with a knife and the other with a revolrer. I
Raddiff received three balls through his body wind I
killed him on the spot, and Isles sank down faUZr |
wounded in several places, and was dying when os |
informant left.
We shall, probably, get a full account of the bloody j
tragedy in the Columbus papers of yesterday.
