Cotton Making and Rnst.
Editors Telegraph: I have read your Gustin
expose of cotton making. The same amount of
labor and material expended on fonr times the
space wonld doubtless have paid better and
looked more natural Your town slips and mode
of culture are hardly examples to be followed by
the great agricultural country.
Brevity in writing is the pith and practical
skill of all instrnctions. Crops, to add wealth to
the country, must be made cheaply and not like
the several years past, the available portion (cot
ton) go mostly to the merchant and factors, in
payment for supplies at the rate of five per cent,
per month. This will keep any agricultural
people poor. Lands are too cheap and labor too
scarce and uncertain to expend profitably on too
limited space.
Deep ploughing is right and a great improve
ment, bnt, like the making of crops, must he
done cheaply. It is not economy to use heavy
ploughs with two or three mules hitched to it,
when a good fleet mule with a common plough-
stock, with another sort of plow-hoe, that can
be made almost anywhere in the conntiy can
break the ground abont as deep and pnlvenze it
far better. I allude to the diamond turn-scouter.
It is made by taking a bar four inches wide and
half an inch thick and cutting diagonally across
the bar in pieces fourteen and a half inches
long, making the diamond point at one end and
the screw-pin hole in the other—turning tho
wing down, thinning it and that edge of the bar
a little to the point—giving it, of course, the
right curve. I am aware this plough-hoe is not
new, only a little improved; bnt it can’t be ex
celled, as I believe, in breaking lands deep in
any kind of soil.
Gnano-rnst in cotton, this year, is a serious
drawback. Where tho guano was mixed with a
good, black mould or common lot manure it ha3
done better, indeed it has done very well, rust
or no rnst. Where the guano was used alone
the yield will be less and not at all likely to pay
at one hundred dollars a ton. I find no differ
ence in the cotton, in using the Soluble Pacific
and Peruvian. The manipulated staffs I have
not tried, believing that they had not body or
alkali enough to last long.
To prevent rust in cotton, I believe I have
found a method, and one that can be easily ap
plied. It is this: When it is apprehended that
the rust is likely to come on from the state of
the weather, or from having used composts and
gnano freely, say from the middle of July to
early in August, go and top your cotton, not at
the first top but below the second top. At that
pointyoureach the woody fibre already formed—
the plant spreads rapidly, grows well, and re
mains green. This has been the result in a few
dozen stalks I hove watched closely. In a few
instances the cotton 6talks grew in the same
hill, the one topped into the woody fibre grew
no higher bnt spread largely and kept green,
the other rusted like those around, not topped.

Tlie Storm in Louisiana and New
England, i
The World of the 10th says:
According to what is known as the Redfield
theory, they rise in the Caribbean Sea and Gnlf
of Mexico, follow the course of the Gnlf stream
either to its end or veer to the westward, and
expend themselves on the Atlantic coast. These
great storms, Mr. Redfield held, wore gyratory
hurricanes, revolving on their own axes as wail
as moving northward. Now, on Monday night
we received by telegraph information that a very
severe storm was raging at New Orleans; on
Wednesday it stormed here, but not severely.
The same afternoon a most violent storm swept
over the eastern portion of Rhode Island and
Massachusetts. If this be one of the great storms
which the Redfield theory would account for, it
is probable that it followed the Gnlf stream as
far as Cape Hatteras, there a portion or all of it
veered to the westward far enough to sweep
over a portion of Eastern New England, bnt not
far enough to wreak its fury upon points farther
westward. If such be the case, it is feared that
there have been serious times among the vessels
which crossed the track at the storm at sea, and
possibly some serious disasters.
Five hundbed and thtett bales of cotton

Speech of Rev. C. W. Howard,
DELIVERED BEFOBE THE PBESS EXCUBSION.
[While the Press Excursion was moving up
the Coosa river in the steamenEtowah, in the
evening of Saturday, the 28 th of August last,
a meeting was held to determine whether tho
Press would terminate the excursion with that
trip or extend it farther by going down the Sel
ma, Rome and Dalton Railroad, on the Monday
following. With great unanimity, all of the
Press, except few whose business compelled
them to leave, although very much wearied
with the heat and the fatiguing excursion to
Round Mountain and the Cornwall Iron Works,
determined to adhere to the original pro
gramme and go down the road. After disposing
of this business, CoL Hulbert addressed the
meeting upon tho condition, prospects and
dangers of the State Railroad. The'important
facts in this speech will shortly be laid before
the public in a letter. Following Col. Hulbert,
Rev. C. W. Howard was called upon, and de
livered the following very beautiful and inter
esting speech, which was reported stenograph-
ically by Rev. L. M. Lee, of the Methodist
Christian Advocate, and is copied from that
paper.]
This is an unusual spectacle, and a most in
teresting one. I doubt whether the like was
ever seen before, and I believe it is the promise
of better things for our State.
I have heard with surprise and indignation
the charge against the press of tho South, of
venality—a charge that I can but think so un
just that it could not be excused by “ a demi
john of whisky.”
This occasion demonstrates the power of the
press, and there is wisdom displayed in the use
that is made of that power by our Superinten
dent, CoL Hulbert. The press does not only
convey, bnt it creates publio opinion; it informs
and controls public opinion; and the wisdom
displayed in bringing together the members of
the press on this occasion is bnt a part of that
admirable polioy pursued by the present Super
intendent of our State Road. I would say frank
ly to you, as an old Georgian, without any refer
ence to partisanship, that I think the State of
Georgia eminently fortunate in securing the
services of so wise, able and patriotic a public
officer. It is a part of the policy of the Super
intendent to secure the press to aid in develop
ing the interests of the State. Now, how can
the press second these efforts ?
In brief, I wonld say—First, put at rest the
political ocoasion for misrepresentation; work
together for this end. There is a strong analogy
between our social and material world.
In domestic life you have seen the delicate,
tender woman, the loving wife. You have seen
that husband overcome by misfortune, and
broken down by adversity; bnt this frail tender,
loving woman steals her arm aronndthat hus
band, and by her gentle guiding, and the power of
her undying love, imparts a strength that brings
him ont of disaster, and enables him to achieve
a victory ont of defeat that seemed irreparable.
"We may have this realized among us in the
building up of the interests of our wasted
homes. Almighty God, when he designs to
accomplish great results, does not come in the
tempest or in the earthquake. He does not
come in the lightning or in the thunderings of
His power; but he speaks to the soul in the
still small voice. He has so spoken to us. He
has given to us in the fibre of the cotton plant
the most tender, delicate gossamer—that which
has supplied wings to our commerce, enabled
the toiler to have light in his dwelling, and oil
for his machinery, and that which has wielded
the greatest influence of all things that grow
from onr soil.
Our country—our own State, supplies from
its plains on one side, the cotton, and from its
mountains on the other side, the iron; and here,
gentlemen, are the two that must be wedded—
the man and his wife. We are one. 'What
God hath joined together let no man put asun
der.
The press can do much to allay the troubles
of the present, and by diffusing information
concerning the mineral resources which are now
almost unknown, aid in building up tho best in.
terests of the State.
There are many gentlemen here whose lot has
not been cast among the mountains, and who,
till now, have not been familiar with the vast
mineral wealth of this region, and could not ex
tend the information needed.
In order, therefore, to be explicit on this oc
casion, accompany me as we visit these mineral
regions of North Georgia.
When you cross the Etowah river, you strike
the limestone belt There are no limestone de
posits south of this river; but no more lime
stone is found in an acre of the soil of this re
gion than in that of any other. The most deli
cate chemical analysis of tho soil from Pennsyl
vania to Texas reveals the same fact.
Leaving the Etowah bridge, on the road to
Cooper's Iron Works, you find the fall of the
water eighty feet, affording abundant power ev
ery five miles for all purposes.
On the right of the road from Cartersville are
the richest deposits of iron ore in the country,
before the war there were five furnaces on this
line of road; there are now but two, partly
owned by tho brother of Ex-Governor Curtin of
Pennsylvania.
Manganese is also found along this belt of
country. Much has been shipped to Baltimore
and from thence to Europe.
We also find in this region every variety of
marble, not of second quality, but white, or
statuary marble, excellent and abundant. But
all of these deposits are at present unprofitable,
because too far from the railroad.
Allum-slate is also found here in so large a
body that in walking I have gathered several
pounds from the surface.
To the left of Cartersville is found a large
body of. minerals, which, when the Van Wert
Railroad is completed, will find a market.
What we lack to develop theso mines is money.
We are all as poor as church rats.
Kingston is but a small town, yet the mills
near bring 16,000 pounds of flour daily to the
market. Five steam mills turn ont an immense
quantity of lumber, which is shipped to the
North and the Tennessee valley. In July, 1868,
I learned, by personal examination of the books
of the State Road, that there were received
8,000 feet of lumber per month, and this year
25,000 feet are received—an increase of 17,000
in one year.
We come now to the Rome Railroad, and let
me here say that for beautiful farming lands,
no twenty miles in the country surpasses it, and
when we come to Rome, where we have been so
handsomely entertained, we find a city with ad
vantages unsnrpassed. Mr. Nichols, in his
Mendacious Romance, (of Sherman’s March to
the Sea,) told one truth when he said that Rome
had no rival except Now Haven.
Down the road from Rome to Southwest Geor
gia, which trip we are to make, you will find in
dications in coal and iron, of the inexhaustible
resources of the State.
The Legislature ought to make an appropria
tion for improving the navigation of the river,
deepening the channel at the shoals. No money
could be more wisely expended, as it brings us
in the range of mountains, where for forty miles
the coal lies buried along their base, iron in
abundance, and slate deposits of great value.
Another subject: I have visited the petroleum
region of Pennsylvania, and can say from In
dian Creek, twelve miles to Coosaville, there
are surface indications of oil regions that sur
pass any in Pennsylvania, and will prove more
valuable. I might go on to point ont other
matters of interest; but have indicated enough
to satisfy yon that the half has not been told.—•
I beg of yon to give information to the people,
and one thing more I would add. Counsel onr
young men to put aside the idea that labor is a
reproach. Let them put their hands to work
and aid in developing the resources of the
country.
There was a time when oratory might lead to
advancement; bnt oratory and eloquence have
“played out.” A smart committee appointed
to do the business of a convention will have all
the points made, and the work “cut and dried"
before yonr orator makes his points plain to the
people.
It is practical men that are needed. We want
educated mechanics; we want educated machin
ists; We want educated surveyors, civil engi
neers, and miners. The idea that any occupa
tion is to ba discouraged, or that labor is dis
honorable, the better sense of the community
is very fast exploding.
Look at one of theso yonngmen who is man
aging the interests of a coal mine, and explor
ing its recesses, and compare him with the
young lawyer in his piazza sunning himself in
his idleness and whittling stioks for employment,
and tell me which of these pictures you prefer.
We need young men who can build up the in
terests of the State. Georgia has suffered se
verely, and is yet in the mire ; bnt if wo take a
long pull, a strong pull, and a pull all together,-
we will take her out. No doubt there will be
difficulties in the way. The steps we are to
take are not on marble hewn—they are rough ;
j but they are steps that will lead tu to prosperity.
The work is not impossible. We have no Alps
to pat on Alps; no Ossa on Pelion; but a straight,
plain work, and Georgia, straggling, wrestling,
panting, yet ever rising, will come ont all right
Our common mother is now in the dost, sick,
very sick. We look upon her emaciated form;
but her pallid cheeks shall regain their wonted
blush : her lustreless eye shall be lighted up and
revived; rehabilitated she shall vault again
among her sister States, and take her prond
place in the march of progress.
Execution of Jesse Watkins.
The Savannah Republican of Saturday says:
At 30 minutes after 9 o'clock a procession
consisting of Rev. Father Hamilton and Rev.
Father Targuerey, both of the Roman Catholic
Church, who marched in front, followed by the
prisoner, guarded by the Sheriff and his officers.
The prisoner was dressed in white, and his arms
were securely pinioned. During the march
from the jail to the scaffold the Priests recited
in an audible voice, the fiftieth psalm, Latin
vulgate version, commencing, “O, Lord have
mercy on me according on to Thy great mercy.”
The prisoner ascended the scaffold with a firm
step, followed by his spiritual advisers.
As soon as the prisoner has ascended the scaf
fold, the front gate was thrown open, and the
large assemblage on the ontside of the walls per
mitted to enter the enclosure, btit owing to the
enclosnre of the scaffold on three sides, but a
small portion of them were able to see the pris
oner or witness the execution.
The clergymen then proceeded with the ser
vices prescribed by the Ritual of the Roman
Catholio Church for such solemn and awful oc
casions, after which Rev. Father Hamilton
turned to the spectators and said: “The un
fortunate man (the prisoner) desires me to say
to yon that he firmly trusts that he is truly sorry
for whatever sins he may have committed, and
lie further desires me to request, that upon his
being launched into eternity you will each offer
up a prayer to Almighty God for the repose of
his soul.”
The rope was then adjusted upon his neck by
the sheriff’s deputies, after which Sheriff
Dooner informed him that if he had anythingto
say he now had an opportunity to speak. He
seemed to hesitate for a moment, and then said:
“I freely forgive and pray for all—for my ene
mies—and I freely forgive and pray for the
man who, by swearing falsely, has brought me
to my present position. Gentlemen, tins is all
I have to say.”
Tho cap was then pulled over his eyes and the
deputy sheriff left the scaffold. The sheriff
then asked him if he was ready; he replied in
tho affirmative, the drop fell and Jesse Watkins
was launched into eternity. He fell between
six and seven feet, and died without a struggle.

A Lively Scene.
An Ancient Freedman Collared l>t/ his Spouse—
2he Penalty of following Politics.
On Saturday morning, while on onr rounds in
search of the confounded item, we were direct
ed to a certain locality by a young nrchin who
represented that an old negro woman was
“beatln’ her husband to death.” We repaired
to the spot, and there beheld a scene well worthy
of tho pencil of Elder. An elderly negro wo
man, bedecked in her store clothes, and sur
rounded by her carpet-bag, a red cloth um
brella, and a crowd of young urchins of all col
ors, had an old, gray-haired darkey by the col
lar, and, while belaboring him with a tolerably
stont endgel, gave him a tongue-lashing some
what as follows: *
“Oh, yes, you nasty, stinkin’, black rascal;
I got yon, is I? "What you doin’ here, dat’s
what I want to know? (Whack.) Come down
here to wote, did you? (Whack.) Absolusher
come down here'from Macklinbnrg six weeks
ago to wote, and ain’t bin back home since,
(Whack.) Oh, yes, you black sconndil; what
you reckon I gwine to do all the time you gone,
for meat and meal for yonr children? You
black rascal” (Whack.)
Old Man—“Look here, Hanna; here, woman,
here ; what yon doing? (Whack) Don’t talk to
me in sich a disagreeable tone here whar all
dese folks is.”
Hannah—“Oh, never mind ’bout yon, you
black rascal. (Whack.) I gwine gi’ yon Billy,
I know’d I’d cotch you. You want satisfiedwid
stayin np home to wote; you got to come down
here to wote, is you? (Whack.) Oh, yes, you
black rascal: yon sconndil, yon; what you
reckon I gwine 'do all dis time ? Sot down at
home an wait for yon ? (Whack.) Dat I want
gwine do no sich thing; I tell yon what I gwine
do, yon black sconndil—(Whack)—I gwine car
ry you down here to de Damsville depot whar
de Damson cars is, and I gwine keep yon till de
cars goes to Macklinburg. (Whack.) Hear dat,
don’t yon ? (Whack.) ^Fore God, I so mad.—
(Whack.) Look here man—(whack—I could
haul off and faily bnss yon open, I could.—
(Whack.) Yon — (whack)—black—(whack)—
rascal—( whack)—yon.
The old man was completely subdued and
took everything very meekly, until a policeman
came along and pnt an end to the quarrel by
ordering them off.
Florida and Western Georgia.
The Columbus Enquirer of Saturday says :
The most unfavorable reports of the cotton
crop come to ns from Florida. The caterpillars
have certainly made great ravages in some ports
of that State. The following extract of a letter
from Jacksonville, 7th instant, to the Savannah
News, contains the worst report that we have
yet seen: “The cotton in Middle Florida is
nearly a complete wreck, and from Gainesville
to Orange Creek it is supposed that not one
pound of cotton will be gathered to the acre.
A gentleman informed me yesterday that the
caterpillar has nearly rained- him; and that in
one boll he found twelve worms, on another he
found nine, and on another he fonnd seven. He
also says that in some fields a barrel of worms
could be gathered in less than five .minutes.
The estimate varies very much, bnt from what
I can learn I do not think more than one-half
that was planted will be gathered.”
In this and other parts of Georgia, the early
promise of the crop will fall far short of realiza
tion. The drought has prevented the formation
of the later or upper bolls, and in many places
the rust has destroyed the plant before it had
produced half the bolls that its size and early
vigor promised. The crop is coming freely to
market, bnt this is dne, not to a redundant crop,
but to two other causes, one of them indicative
of a short crop, viz: first, good price the staple
is now commanding? and, second, the prema
ture opening of the bolls, forced by dronth and
rnst.
The Flobida Cession.—We remarked some
days ago : “ There is no ground for the opinion
that Florida is to be divided. West Florida is
in favor of the cession, but Middle and East
Florida are uncompromisingly opposed to it,
and will vote it down both in the Legislature and
before the people. It has to pass both ordeals
after getting the consent of the section to be
ceded."
We desire to modify, if not correct, this opin
ion. Since it was given we have learned that
the act specifying the terms on which the ces
sion might take place provides for an affirmative
vote of the district to be ceded, and a subse
quent ratification “ by the Legislature or—not
and—of the people”—making the vote of either
a final settlement of the question. In view of
the complexion of the Florida Legislature, if
West Florida and Alabama can command money
enough to buy it—and we doubt if a very large
sum will be required— the cession may be re
garded as a fixed fact. We hear there is great
dissatisfaction in East and Middle Florida over
the prospect of being thus swindled out of a
large portion of their fair territory.—Savannah
Republican.

FROM CUBA.
Private letters from Sickles are eanguine that
Spain will sell Cuba. Serrano is willing, but the
Cabinet objects.
Admiral Hoff’s report of the execution of two
Americans, (one a telegrapher named Weytli,) cha
racterizes them as massacres. It appears from the
report that such is the disturbed condition of the
island, that the administration of justice, in many
instances, is impossible.
The Central Cuban Junta has forwarded §20,000
in bonds of tbe Republic of Cuba to the Rawlins’
fund. The bonds sell on the market at twenty-five
cents on the dollar. Subscriptions of a dollar from
each Cuban has been started for the same fund.
The recent activity of the navy has no warlike
meaning. The vessels were becoming damaged by
idleness, and it is proposed to use sailing vessels
for ordinary duty, instead of steamers, as a matter
of economy.
Washington, September 12.—A Southern gentle
man, visiting Cuba for the purpose of learning the
true state of affairs for himself and friends, writes
encouragingly from Cardenas, under date of Sep
tember 1st, saying: “The revolution, I honestly
believe, will succeed." Alluding to the outrages and
destruction by tho volunnteers, the writer says: “If
the war continues six months, the island will be
almost uninhabitable: even now, along the eastern
coast, the people are on the verge of starvation.”
Twenty cavalrymen are ordered to Virginia to en

Cotton Cbopk West Alabama.—The Greens-
bor (Ala.) Beacon of September 4th says:
We 8 aw a gentleman a few days ago who has
traveled recently over qnita a scope of country,
and who is an old practical farmer. His opinion
is that Hale county has a better prospect for
cotton than any through which he has been, and
that no estimate can as yet be made. He re
ported rnst in nearly all the crop in the Newbera
neighborhood, and also in other portions of this
county.
Another gentleman, who plants four and a
half miles south of this, exhibited to us two
stalks of cotton from his field, literally covered
with the caterpillar, and said that in a few days
thy would destroy at least one-thinl of his crop.
Taking all things in consideration, we are of
the opinion that the cotton croy of this section
will not be as larg? as last year s crop.'
Egyptian Cotton Cbop.—The Columbus En
quirer says, concerning the growing cotton crop
of Egypt: Advices from Alexandria to the 14th
of August state that “ the Nile continues to rise
steadily, and the belief is that the navigation of
the canal will in a few days be opened for large
boats, when abundant supplies of produce may
be looked for. About the growing crop of cot
ton, it is as yet too early in the season to form
an opinion of any valne; but it may he mentioned
that the rising of the Nile is satisfactory, and
that the cotton plants thus fat- look strong and
healthy.
Thitlets A colored woman living near the Ma
con & Brunswick railroad machine shop, in the city,
gave birth to three children yesterday—two boys and
one girl. They were all bom alive; but from the
fact that no one was present at the time, one of the
boys and girl died before another woman, who soon
discovered her condition, oould secure medical aid
and assistance. The prolific mother is named Mary
Ann Drake.
Spanish Waefaee.—Dr. Simmons, lately re
turned to New York from Cuba, eays:
The Cuban army has on three different occa
sions drawn its lines close around Puerto Prin
cipe. When about to make an attack, which
most have been successful, the Spanish com
mander has at the bayonet’s point sent all the
Caban ladies and children in dense crowds to
the van of the Spanish garrison. These inno
cents each time have been pushed by hundreds
to places of danger, to stand as shields before
the hirelings of Spain and Cuban volunteers.
Quesada, for humanity’s sake, has withdrawn
from the attack. Dr. Simmons says that the
titter wretohedness caused the wives, children
and sisters of the Cabans by the hellish conduct
of unprincipled Spanish offioers and soldiers
is beyond aUdescription. They mean to fill the
trenches with murdered women and children
before the city shall be surrendered to the revo
lutionists.
