This is too.plain to admit of contro versy. .1 presume there are but few planters who have not ocular demonstration of this fact npon their own premises. The fact, then, is in disputable ; but why is it so, and how is it to be prevented? That one kind of manure has a greater tendency to produce rust than another, I have serious doubts. I have cotton upon which I have used “Soluble Pacific,” and also “Dickson's Compound,” and it is equally de structive on both. I have noticed cotton, upon a neighboring plantation, manured with cotton seed, which is as badly injured by rust as that upon which guano has been used: hence I con clude that it is not attributable to the kind of manure used, and that we must look to some other source for the cause. That the rust is produced by an insect I have no doubt; but it is a great mistake to suppose that it is the common plant louse, or aphis, as some imagine. The insect causing rust is the plant mite or red spider. Yon may find an in teresting article npon this subject in the Sep tember number of the Southern Cultivator for 1848, by Dr. N. T. Soxsby, of Alabama, and at one time, I believe, a resident of your city. Admitting that this spider causes the rust, (and I think there can be no controversy upon this point,) the question arises, what are the conditions or circumstances most favorable to its production and propagation ? Yon suggest the idea, Mr. Editor, that “the Guano makes a rapid, tender and sappy growth of the cotton plant, and this condition of the plant is just what the aphis delights in. Now, sir, my ob servation and experience is directly the opposite of this; and that the disease in question is caused by deficient nutrition, from whatever cause, whether from exhaustion of the nutritive properties in the soil, or from the absence of rain in sufficient quantities to place the nutritive elements in the soil, either nhtnrally existing or artificially applied, in a state suitable to be taken up and appropriated to the nourishment and growth of the plant. . So long as the plant maintains a rapid, heal thy, and succulent growth, you need be under no apprehension from rust; bnt so soon as its growth is checked by heat and dry weather, you may expect its appearance. I believe the ob servation of planters will bear me out in the as sertion that, so long as the rains continued and the cotton maintained a “rapid, tender and sap py growth,” no sign of rust appeared; and that it made its appearance only after the hot and dry weather of July and August set in. I am supported in this opinion by Dr. Sorsby, above quoted, who says: “Frequent rains du ring summer, by forcing the growth of the plant on rich land, check their ravages temporarily.” The cause has been ascertained, bnt how about the cure. Ah, there’s the rub.

What is meant by these coble sentiments, promulgated before an assemblage of the elite, male and female, of the metropolis of the Amer ican Union, and published to the world ? You, sir, in this regard, are to be judged in the light of your position and the actual condition of the South. You are not a man to be flattered—yon are a philosopher in the best sense of that wopd. Yonr Press is, per se, an Institution of the coun try ; you think for the million; yon are one of the most potent of those who form and control pnblio opinion nt tho North. No one Is better entitled to be recognized as a leader of the Rad ical party than yonrself. We are obliged to believe—wo do believe— that you intended to be understood ns recom mending the restoration of the Southern States under the Federal Constitution. That you are opposed to the threatened policy of reconstruct ing reconstructed Georgia: and retaining onr great State, humiliated, impoverished and wronged ns she is, beneath the heel of her re morseless conquerors. Either you meant all this or nothing. Either yon meant all this, or ■you are to be held as a double-dealing traitor to the nobility of your own nature, and to those who confide ia your wisdom and your patriot ism. For one, I am satisfied that, as a man and a patriot, you intended to advise conciliation, forbearance, paternity and a consolidated Union —a prompt return to ft common nationality un der the Constitution of the Fathers. These sentiments were uttered in tie face of erur actual condition. With your means of ac curate information it would be absurd to sup pose that you are not correctly informed as to the real status of Georgia. Notwithstanding the miserable sensational letters written for po litical effect at the North and for selfish purposes here, you are obliged to know that we are not rebels still—that we accept the situation—that we concede the manumission of the negroes, and are dealing justly with them—that we sub ject all classes of the community to an indis- criminating obedience to the law—that we are rapidly developing the almost fabulous resources of our glorious dime and our teeming soil— that we are inviting capital and immigration, and organizing and diversifying labor—that we have even now succeeded in a great degree in quieting the passions engendered by the war. Mr. Greeley, yon are obliged to know, that our interests, our honor, and even onr sorrows, constrain us to desire most anxiously to be let alone. Restore us to the Union, upon equal terras, and one decade will exhibit to the world a State unequaled in tho records of history— unsurpassed in all the elements of material, in tellectual and moral greatness. With a knowledge of these things did you in tend upon the occasion referred to, to delude us with false hopes ? Surely, you did not. Now, what we ask—what we have a! right to ask— whatyour speech has invited us to ask—is that tho Tribune at once affirm the personal views of its distinguished editor, and openly advocate the immediate restoration of the Southern States to the Union. Then, indeed, the hope you express, “that across the graves of onr revolutionary S itriots pud soldiers—of Patrick Henry, of aniel Morgan and John Marshall, hands lately raised against each other in bloody conflict may be clasped once more in paternal concord, and that a nobler and truer and closer Union may spring from the rekindled memory of a heroic and inspiring past,” will be realized. I address this letter to you through the col umns of the Macon Dally" Telegraph, the most ably edited newspaper pnblished in this State. Perchance it may meet your eye, and if itshould, you may insert it in the Tribune. Your readers may bo willing to read it. I stand but the shad ow of a name, bnt (pardon my vanity) I am not without some honor in my own country. A lit tle vanity may be tolerated when it gives empha sis to truth.

Are they not the incentives of right action? It is for you, sir, to determine.

Some half an hour after sunrise, on Friday morning, we ob served that the mercury indicated fifty-five, and think the temperature was quite as cool Satur day morning. The telegrams have told us that show fell in New York,'on the 1st instant, which' was an extraordinary occurrence. The whole year seems to have presented unusual and ab normal oonditiona. Tho weather has been fitful and capricious to an extraordinary degree, and we have seen that it has victimised the crape all-over the country. No donbt the rust in oot- ton, so fatal to our hopes, is primarily attribnt- aUt to these unusual weather vicissitudes. We cannot recall a more pleasant trip than the one just taken by us, in company with several gentlemen, to the '‘Ancient City.” Of the number was our distinguished fellow-towns man, Col. Jos. J. Williams, who was on a visit to his family, who are residing there for the summer. Accepting his kind invitation our party be came his guests, and to him, but more especially to his estimable and accomplished lady, axe we indebted for our delightful sojourn and elegant entertainment. Certainly no one could have surpassed onr kind hostess in the grace and charm with which she presided over her depart ment of the house-hold, and the clever manner in which she managed to impart to each guest a “homelike” feeling of ease and comfort, and very certainly no one could have propped viands vitla grpafflt nhill op bnvn spread them more temptingly; indeed, each dish seemed to invite one to commit suicide. That splendid “crab” salad, that superb “shrimp” salad, that magnificent “turtle” and “clam” soup—cannot soon be forgotten. As to the “Vandingo” and “Lungaroo,” these were the colored dishes prepared with the as sistance of Bignor Tony, and vary relishable they were too—though Dr. B. did say Fist one could not, with entire comfort, dispose of more than two plates each of these dishes, especially after having already thrice fnlly tested the mer its of the ,‘shrimps” and “crab” salad. To those fond of sport we have found no place equal to the “Ancient City.” During our so journ we were not without some new amuse ment every day. Fishing, shrimping and crab bing, were all tried, and with success, and an excellent sport in their way. One morning our party went Shark fishing—and in a little while we had five of these man-eating monsters floun dering on the beach. We took the trouble to measure one of them, and he was over six feet long. We never enjoyed a more exciting sport. Imagine six or eight men swinging to one end of a line with a huge shark at the other, cutting and slashing and making the water fairly boil with his furious antics; bear them shout at the top of their voices, “haul in 1 haul in 1" see the monster as be is at length pulled upon the shore, flapping his great tail in all directions, opening ms ponderous jaws, displaying his rows of sharp teeth, and watching you with his wicked white _ glistening eyes.- It is royal sport and no mistake, and even a rheumatic would, on being placed in proximity to such a monster, become ns active as a cat. It is very exciting sport. We know of nothing better calculated to stir up one whose course of life is sedentary, dull, and sluggish. Truly, variety is the spice of life, when sea soned with a shark fish. A party went out the day before we did and caught a shark over thir teen feet IoDg. We saw his liver, from which five gallons of oil were made. In addition to these sports, a great many plover and choice sea birds are to be found on all the sand bars, and shores, so that a good marksman. with his fowling pieco need not be idle at low tide. But last, though not least of the enjoyments of the “Ancient City,” are tho charming boat- rides one may enjoy, the waters are sufficiently smooth to be entirely safe, and a strong breeze i3 almost always ready to fill the sails. Noth ing can be more enchanting than a sail by moonlight, with the grim old fort looming up so solemnly in the distance, and the strains of the city brass-band wafted to you _ upon tho waters, softly blending with the noise of the rippling as your boat glides along. But we are getting romantio and most quit. Adios, St. Augustine. Oft fob Cuba.—Quite a sensation was created in our town on Wednesday evening by the ar rival of twenty-eight Young Americans, said to be destined for tho island of Cnba. They were all good-looking young fellows, and seemed to be in fine spirits. They doubtless have stout hearts to prompt them on such a perilous ex pedition, and to subject themselves to the pri vations and difficulties that await them. IV e learn they are going to Cuba for the purpose of joining the Cuban army in defense of that is land. We know how to sympathize with them, as we have seen the elephant onrselves._ War is no child’s play, and should be engaged in with some deliberation. Since writing the above fourteen more men have arrived and joined the party already here. The United States Marshal came on the same train with the last squad, on Thursday evening, and made some effort to arrest the whole party; but failing to summons a sufficient posse, aban doned the arrest until United States troop3 could be had, which, it is said, he telegraphed for. The Cuban expedition in the presence of the United States Marshal conducted themselves very orderly, and at a late hour last night quietly left for parts unknown.—Chattahoochee Mirror, M Down in Front.—On yesterday evening a lit tle tangle foot became pretty well scattered among over guests bound for Cubs, and mado them a little unmanageable. In front of our offioe quite a disturbance oocurred among them selves % briok-bats and whisky bottles fairly flew; pistols drawn, but by the exertions of the sober portion of. the' “young bloods,” nobody hurt. After nightfall a party of them went over to the black belt, foraging, where they were met by an enraged . foroe of negroes armed with double-barrel shot-guns, but no damage done. [Ibid.

The country, has the advantage of freshness and novelty, while some of its mo3t remarkable features are paralleled no.where else on the globe. An excursionist writes to the Chicago Tribune a lively descrip tion of the approach to Salt. Lake through the Echo and Weber canons, as follows: But here we are at the head of Echo canon, which is a great fissure tom down through the mountain plateau, by which we descended from the high table lands into the valley of Salt Lake. It has. been created by the joint action of water and wind—rushing, the one down, the other np this monstTons ravine, through a conglomerate material which is mAinly soft in substance. The declivity i3 a half a mile in a distance of forty or fifty miles. Before reaching the head of this chasm we pass along parallel with the Wahsatch Mountain range for a considerable distance, whose North side tops are covered with snow, and whose altitude is three to four thousand feet above the surrounding plateau; but their great distance off makes them look low to the eye. I shall attempt no description of Echo and Weber Canons as for sublimity and grandeur they are beyond my powers of delineation.— Several of our party who have traveled over Europe, declared that they saw nothing in the Alps or elsewhere which surpassed those scenes; and it is questionable if there is any railroad on the face of the terraqueous globe that passes through so wild, grand, and terrific scenery as this road from where it enters at Echo until it emerges from the Devil’s Gate into the Salt Lake Valley. The awe-struck traveler, as he rushes down the horrid gorge at race horse speed is first oppressed with toe littleness of man and his works, and then his egotiRm lifts him up in wonder and pride at toe boldness and power of this weak creature, who successfully ventured to build an iron way along these awful frown-, ing cliffs and over these deep, dangerous chasms. The plunge into the Devil’s Gate causes a thrilling sensation which almost takes away one’s breath, and which is converted into amazement at the rapidly changing phenomena. At the west altitude of the rocks, which tower perpendicularly thousands of feet overhead, on toe brows of the overhanging diffs, toe pine trees look like shrubs not a span high. The substance of these rocks is of unequal hardness, ranging from granite to conglomerate and shale. The little Weber River, rushing through toe gorge, and toe streams which tumble down its sides, and toe incessant air-currents which blow force through it, have worn the chasm into ten thousand forms. Some places where toe rock is hard, the stream has barely room to force its passage between walls half a mile high; where the rock is soft, toe wind and water have tom out a wide gulf and toe face of the rocks into fantastic shapes. While our eyes were strained viewing, and our heads were aching contemplating those mar vels of Nature, all at once our train, with a startling shriek, shot out of the horrid gorge into a broad and delightful plain, into full sun shine, while right behind stood a black perpen- I dicnlar rock wall at right angles with the track but little faith in any applications to toe plant | of the railway, half a mile in altitude, and just after toe appearance of the disease.

During toe past week we have seen several gentlemen who, in the routine of business, have traveled the State from the Delaware to the Ohio, and the reports they give of the tone of public sentiment everywhere uniformly point to an overwhelming Democratic, victory. Our in formants are gentlemen of intelligence, who would not wilfully misrepresent facts. Their opportunities for observation have been very extended, and but for the fact that we can place UDrficit confidence in their state' ae **t8j we should leel inclined to doubt toe possibility of such an enthusiastic awakening of the masses in behalf of the Democratic nominee as toeyre- port. In toe large cities and towns, in the re tired villages, and throughout the rural districts toe universal cry is: Give us a change of rulers. Any change must be for toe better, is the gen eral opinion. If this feeling is taken advantage of in a proper manner, Asa Packer will be elec ted by a large majority.—Philadelphia Age. It is now about seven weeks until the election. The aspect of the canvass is excellent. As was expected, the nomination of Mr. Pendleton ex cites the liveliest satisfaction and the greatest enthusiasm among toe Democracy and toe Con servative men. He will poll a larger vote than any other candidate that could have been select ed. The Democrat who will not vote and work' for him with all his might and soul is yet to be discoved.

We expect to poll not only every Democratic vote which was cast in October, 1868, (250,000 in number) but to receive heavy® accessions from toe liberal men of the other organization. That Gov. Hayes will receive more votes than he ‘obtained two years ago (which was 243,000), is very improb able. He has proved a negative chief magis trate, in whose success his party don’t feel in terest, much less enthusiasm. His bargain with Delano to control appointments in this State, with toe design of cutting out Messrs. Schenck and Sherman, is well known to them, and it would be strange if he was not consider ably “cut” in that quarter.—Cincinnati En quirer. Effect of Advertisings • A few months ago a young man desired us to sell his farm—we suggested advertising it—but he was timid, and having no experience in that line, hesitated to incur the cost of advertising without the certainty of effecting a sale. We informed him that we would take toe risk—toe land was advertised in three different forms, and about twenty applications soon followed. A few days ago toe land was sold for $500 more than toe owner at first demanded. The advertise ment paid well. Another effect: Three years ago a single copy of this paper in toe hands of a gentleman in Madison county, Fla., recovered two favorite horses stolen from a gentleman in this county. The gentleman in Florida had just rend a de scription of the horses, looked up and saw them passing in charge of the thief. The paper had out-traveled the thief, and his immediate arrest led to the arrest of several others connected with him, and the den of thieves which had for some time afflicted that section was tons totally broken up by a small advertisement. Still another. A gentleman in this town de sired to sell his residence. Naming it to us we proposed to advertise it. He did not like the expense. We told him to fix his price on the place and we would add to that toe bill for ad vertising. He did so and it was advertised.— Very soon he was offered tho price, bnt now he thought it worth more and he added $500 to the former price and continued the advertise ment. Again a purchaser appeared, and again he was compelled to baok out, adding another $500 to his price to prevent the place from go ing out of ms hands. In this case toe adver tisement added a thousand dollars to toe value of his residence, while ho hesitated to pay ten- dollars.—TkomasviUe Enterprise. The last soldier of the Revolution is to be thus described: “The old man, survivor of (the Revo lution, more than one hundred years old, who always rose with the sun; never drank anything in his life stronger than brandy, and sugar; who has cut two cords of firewood daily every day except Sundays for the last sixty-nine years; who invariably walked five miles before break fast; who is the father of thirty-eight children, toe grandfather of two hundred grandchildren, and the great grandfather of thirteen great grandchildren, and who would shortly havebeen the great great grandfather (3f one great great grandchild, is dead. And now we hope nobody will disturb toe good old man any more,” The St. Louis Democrat counsels the South ern people to turn their thoughts from Chinese importation and seek to make the best use of toe labor they now have. It argues that toe North ern mines, railroads and factories will outbid them, and urges that the South will be wise if, not building its hopes upon Chinese labor for agricultural purposes, it looks instead to the fullest development of free labor, to the inven tion and apphc&tion of machines, to the higher cultivation of smaller estates, and to the com plete abandonment of the feudal system and its ideas. as incredible. We remember reading a well- authenticated statement, before toe war, of one hundred and ninety-six bushels of corn to the acre being grown in Kentucky, a growth not the less marvelous than toe one given of wheat. Not toe least wonderful part of toe account is toe small quantity of seed used to produce the result. The number of plants standing at a foot each way was 43,560. Supposing every grain to have been sound when planted, the quantity required to plant an acre would not have exceeded three and a half pounds, there being between twelve and thirteen thousand grains to the nonnd. A* inis rate everv plant should have yieiaed about H,l>00 grains—say seventy stalks or ears, averaging forty grains to the ear. Perhaps every farmer has seen bunches of wheat, apparently coming from a single grain, standing in a rich spot and having room to spread, containing forty or fifty stalks and bearing large ears. Now we have only to imagine an acre of ground occupied by such stalks, having aplenty of mannre to feed on, to be convinced that it is possible to obtain something like toe crop rep resented in toe above extract. But, perhaps, our readers will say it is easier ,o figure this oa than to reach it by hard knocks, to which wo have only to reply, let them try it on a small scale, say a square in the garden, or even a square rod.—Petersburg Index. i. Planchette Revived — Picture Drawing, etc.—Portraits are now drawn by “Planchette” in the West, The “development” of this tal ent for drawing by planchette will probably give toe hnmbug a new lease upon life, toe Bishops to too contrary notwithstanding. The Toledo Commercial mentions that planchette draws por traits, and says; “ Some persons have recognized deceased rel atives. One of the drawings in colored crayons is very beautiful, the expression of the counte nance being quite life-like. Planchette com mences at the head to draw and finishes the pic ture as it advances. When it came to draw the dress of toe picture above named, it indicated to the “ medium” to take a purple crayon. This she refused to do, saying it would spoil the pic ture. She strove to resist tho “power” for near ly half a day, till at last, exhausted, she gave way and let planchette take its course. It com bined several other colors with toe purple, and made a very handsome golden tint, which is toe admiration of all who see it.” The Gettysburg Failure.—The great Gettys burg celebration has but few friends. Even the correspondents of ultra Radical journals such as Forney’s papers and toe New York Tribune, de nounce the whole affair as a failure and a de ception. A Tribune correspondent says; The present gathering at Gettysburg does not seem to have had sufficient motive, or to have an swered any large purpose, or to have satisfied toe vague expectations it aroused. It was re buked from the Soutb, slightly attended from toe North, and it will probably be the last in flated effort to lengthen out the mercantile uses of this battle-field, which should hereafter be left as toe nation intended, a pleasant ceme tery to many brave dead, buff not a perennial fair ground, made ludicrous by failures such as this, which I have noticed beyond its due.” Cotton Receipts—Yesterday morning’s Colum bus freight train brought through for Savannah 117 bales of cotton and but 1 bale for Macon. Yester day evening’s Eufaula freight tra'n brought up 163 bales for Savannah and 99 for Maoon—making the receipts of the day stand: Savannah .285 Macon - 100 We should have stated at the outset of these re ports that nearly all the ootton shipped through to Savannah, is from warehouses South and West of Macon; but nearly all toe cotton brought up the Southwestern railroad proper, and shipped by the producer, is consigned to Macon. We might state, iu this connection, that the movement in cotton the present season is unprece dented in the history of the staple. And never be- foro have we seen here a more active cotton market than now prevails. In proportion to the offering stock and the scarcity of money, this activity is most extraordinary. A bag of cotton is not permitted to lie in our warehouses twenty-four hours after it is received. It ia bought and shipped immediately on its arrival, by the few buyers in . toe market who can command the cash to pay for it. CosnrxaENTARY to Dr. Hunter,—We publish A card in another column, compl imentary to Dr. Hun ter, signed by several of our beet citizens, who are under his professional care for affections of toe throat, lungs or heart. Dr. Hunter comes from New Orleans, where he has a large practice during, the winter months, and has been in our midst only about one month; yet, within that brief space of time he has established an enviable reputation, both as a physician and gen tleman, and we believe deserves the confidence of the public. He has undoubtedly, by improved methods of treatment conjoined to a long and ac tive experience, succeeded In successfully combat ting a class of diseases hitherto believed to be in curable, and we trust that those who avail them selves of his professional services during the re mainder of his stay hare, will experience equally happy result*.—Atlanta Constitution. ’ ■ , Vi , : -iv' • • Tyi'le 4 ,N^AR.'
