The Voice of « Brother’s Blood.
We mourn to soe so frequent instances, in
Georgia, of homicide among onr young men—
most commonly the result of an outburst of
passion and resentment for real or fancied in
jury, and sometimes happening indirectly from
the excitement of artificial stimulants. We beg
young men to take serious admonition from the
terrible events of the kind which have lately
happened in Georgia—to discontinue the miser
able practice of carrying deadly weapons, and
cultivate a proper sensibility to the sacred and
inviolable character of that existence which God
has given us. and surrounded with such awful
sanctions, that one hardly knows who most to
pity—the unhappy victim of a murderous as
sault, or the wretched creature who has im
brued his hands in a brother’s blood, and must
henceforth wander over the face of the earth,
with the curse of Cain upon him—a fugitive and
a vagabond—ever pursued, jn the terrors of
a guilty conscience, by the pale phantom of his
stricken victim.
The awful remorse of a blood-stained soul
has been repeatedly portrayed by the master
poet; but the vivid pictures of his fancy are
not so terrible as the dread reality so often wit
nessed by persons of age and experience.
When young Coalson so causelessly and wick-
e dly—in the mere excitement of a morbid con
dition of the mind,'shot young Mason—as soon
as the fatal work was done, he exclaimed that
he would give millions to recall the horrid deed.
But it was too late. Then began that fearful
remorse, which will pursue the unhappy man to
his grave—which will never leave him, but
cling to bim like the shirt of Ness us—stinging
and burning and eating into the inmost recesses
of his soul—till existence becomes an insupport
able burden.
Young man, for your own sake, avoid blood
shed. Shun all the approaches to such a fearful
catastrophe. Cultivate self-possession. Restrain
your tempers. Keep no deadly weapons about
you, and leam to think with awful reverence of
that mysterious spark of life—so easily extin
guished—but which is the awful gift of God to
guilty mortals.
Speech of Gen. Forrest.
We refer the reader specially to the speech of
General N. B. Forrest, delivered last Satnrday
at Wills Valley. Let everybody mark the senti
ments—the temper and the spirit of the address
of that gallant soldier, who has, perhaps, more
personal reason for animosity against the North
ern people than almost any other Confederate
soldier, because he has been more industriously
slandered and belied than any other man.
Pulaski News.
The Hawkinsville Dispatch says that Schuyler
Colfax got into a fight in the African Methodist
Church in Hawkinsville, by reason of having
flowered his face in order to pass for a white
man. Schuyler Colfax need not attempt to
whiten himself in that way.
UxfortunateRencontre.—Weundcrsandthat
a serious difficulty occurred at Levison, on the
Macon & Brunswick Railroad, last Saturday, in
which Mr. John W. Harrell, of this county, re
ceived a severe wound in the breast from a knife
in the hands of his cousin, Mr. Sam. Evans.—
After the cutting, Mr. Evans was severely beat
en by Mr. Harrell’s negroes, and was also shot
by Mr. E, F. Lee, a brother-in-law of the latter.
The difficulty was caused by an old feud. The
lives of both are despaired of.
The Pulaski Manufacturing Company is re
ceiving its machinery. Reporta from Wilcox
say that not more than half a crop of cotton will
be made, and sugar-cane, peas and potatoes are
entirely cut off.
Odell’s Cotton Check.—Mr. Henry W.
Reynolds, Georgia agent, has called upon ns
with a sample of this check—of brass—num
bered from A—1 np almostindefinitelyandeasi-
ly attached to the iron band of each bale so
that it can be detached and retnrned to the ship
per by the Northern or European factor and
thus preserve the identity of the bale until it
has passed into the hands of the cousnmer. It
will be shortly pnt on the market in Macon
and is a valuable desideratum which has been
fully endorsed by the Southwestern cotton men.
Advice to British Manufacturers.— The
Herald, in another place, gives half a column
of good advice to the British—to establish their
ootton farms in the Southern States. That is
pound counsel, but the Herald should not try to
Stuff them with the notion of growing a bale to
the acre, as a regular business.

. Editors Telegraph : It may he gratifying to
some of your folks to know that daring the State
Fair, in November, Ralston Hall will bo opened
with the highest grade of operatic and comic
performances. All the novelties in music of the
New York and Baltimore season will be intro
duced, and presented by a company and stars
nnexceplionably flint class, socially as well as
professionally. Yours respectfully,

Low Fares.—Wo are sorry to see that the
Southwestern Road gives notice that the return
ticket system will not be. continued after the
first of next December. The Central Road has
extended it to the first of January.
Equinoctial.—There wns a heavy gale in
Randolph on Saturday night, as wo leam from
the Cnthbert Appeal, which damaged cotton a
good deal.
VreTTn-Rg.—Mr, Pound, of the Baroesville Ga
zette, and Mr. S. R. Weston, of the Dawson
Journal, were in our office yesterday—well and
prosperous. „ , <r
Judge Whittaker, of the Atlanta Intelligen
cer, has lost, by death, a very interesting daugh
ter—Miss Nannie Logan Whittaker.
’ Accident.—We regret to leam that Mr. Robert
Findlay met with a serious accident yesterday which
threatens the loss of his hand. While engaged in
ginning cotton his hand was caught in the machin
ery and considerably mangled before ho could extri
cate himself.
A Sad Affair.—-On Friday evening last, the
usual quiet of our village was disturbed by the
rapid discharge of a pistol, in the direction of
' the Railroad Bax and Billiard Saloon of Messrs.
Geo. W. Lee & Co., which was followed by a
general rush of the people towards the above
place. Arriving at the spot, there lay the mor
tal remains of a young man well known in this
community as Dick Smith, weltering in his own
blood. The young man, his former associate,
Green Spencer, his murderer, had fled to the
mountains, for a refuge of safety, which place
he reached unmolested, and is still at large, al
though dilligent search has been made, day and
night, for'him, by the Sheriff and Ms posse.—
The deoeased was killod almost instantly, font
balls having taken effect, out of the five dis
charged at him. It has cast a deep gloom over
this community, being the first murder com
mitted on our streets since the war. Various
rumors are in circulation as to the cause of the
sad affair, and not knowing the true one wo
forbear making farther remarks at present.—
Both were in the very bloom of youth, and have

The Countess Guiccioli replies to JItb. Stowe’s
article on Byron’s scandal. Madame la Conn-t
tess pretends to be in constant communication
with the spirit of Lord Byron, and she was in
formed by the poet two years ago that “ an
American author was preparing to write on his
life a book' full of false and horrible things.”
Now, if somebody would ask Lady Byron, we
ooald get both sides of the story. But the mat

The Fair and Northern Visitors.
We are sorry to see that the Savannah Morn
ing News and the Savannah Republican oif the
29th ultimo, are greatly exoited over the
proposition of the Governor to send a special
train from the Western fend, Atlantic Railroad
to bring invited guests of distinction from Wash
ington to the Georgia State Fair.
We have looked through some two columns
or more of very explosive editorial disquisition
by these papers, to ascertain the only point ma
terial to the argument, and a sensible and cor
rect conclusion—which is this: Do these papers
except to the policy of the Executive Committee of
inviting Northern gentlemen and Federal Offi
cials, without distinction of party, to attend the
State Fair, and is that exception well taken ?
The answer is neither of them object to it. They
make a little ad captandnm fuss about the invi
tation to Butler, which we have explained on
the ground of inadvertence ; but so far from
objecting to the general policy of the committee,
one of these papers, at least, directly endorses
it, when he says:
‘•We shall be pleased to see gentlemen from
eveiy section of the Union in attendance at the
State Fair, and to extend to them the rites of
true Georgia hospitality; and we hope the ex
position may be such as will reflect credit on
onr noble old State, and challenge the admira
tion of all who honor her with their presence.”
The vital point of objection, then, with these
gentlemen, is that any of the Board or the Tel
egraph should favor the acceptance of the prop
osition of the Governor to send a carriage for
these invited guests. That, says the News, is a
“disgrace to the State”—it is “being dragged
in chains at the chariot wheels of onr conquer
ors”—it is “interested sycophancy"—it is “syc-
ophantio servility,” wMch will bring ns to
shame and humiliation.” That, says the Re
publican, is “toadyism,” “fawning,” “cowardly
servility,” and so forth.
Now, if there he any particular merit and
force in these limitations to courtesies and
hospitalities wMch may be lawfully extended to
our Northern visitors, it is of vast importance
to the people of Macon especially that they
should ascertain the precise point where these
limitations will cross the path of social inter
course, so that none of us may be toads or
fawns or serviles or slaves or sycophants or cow
ards, or anything bad before we know it.
We are expecting Northern guests at the Fair,
and we want to treat them well. We want them
to have a pleasant impression of onrselves and
our country,and we shall feel verymuch ashamed
of onrselves if we should prove rnde, churlish,
or inhospitable. But, then, we see, on the other
hand, from what these profound philosophers
and masters of social propriety say, that there
is great danger of showing ourselves toads, syc
ophants, etc., etc. It is right to invite, and it is
right, we suppose, having invited, that we
should treat our guests with courtesy. Indeed,
the News hopes that we shall extend to these
guests “ the rites of true Georgia hospitality,”
and so do we.
Where, then, fair ladies and gentlemen of
Macon, is that fatal line on the one side of which
yon may be ladies and gentlemen still, but one
step over will operate like the wind of Cinderil-
la’s old enchantress, and make you fawns and
toads and sycophants ?
Eureka. We have found it! Give thanks
to all the gods and breathe freely—for through
fheaccumen and profundity of the Savannah
News and the Savannah Republican, it is made
clear, and our honor is safe! You observe that
the invitation was right, but the horrid cause
consists in sending the train. That point fixed
in yonr mind the solution is easy. You can in
vite these Northern guests to your houses and
treat them well, but if you send your carriage
after them, you are gone suckers and worse—
for you are toads and sycophants and slaves!
This point settled, wo would respectfully ask
of these astute masters, in a becoming diplomatic
etiquette, a farther question: These guests will
be strangers—will leave their own carriages be
hind them, and since we cannot, without dis
grace, send the family carriage to bring them to
dinner, conld we not, without shame and humil
iation, make interest with a hack to bring them ?
And when they come, is there any particular
diet to which we should restrict them to save
our own good name and fame ? Would it be
lawful to give them a slice of roast turkey, or
does a rigid adherence to principle demand that
they should be restricted to bacon and greens!
We beg the particular attention of the News
and Republican to these important inquiries.
They come fairly within the scope of their pro
found argumentation and their excoriating mal
ediction of the train proposition.
Bnt to be serious. We have in this jocose
manner fairly exposed the folly and nonsense of
the labored articles of the Republican and
News, which they print with their batbotio and
empty talk about sycophancy, servility, toady
ism, etc.,—the standing refuge of writers who
would substitute prejudice for reason, and make
an habitual practice of supplementing a feeble
ratiocination by calling hard names. They have
beat this old tom-tom till the head has burst,
and the worshippers of the idol of sectional
hatred and discord are getting scarce.
The Republican apostrophises the Executive
Committee of the Fair as “old fogy souls” who
don’t know anything about the Northern Radi
cals and in their simplicity, suppose these Radi
cals can be conciliated by good treatment. On
the contrary, the knowing man of the Republi
can says he knows them and “the knaves care
nothing for truth or principle.”
Well, this much may be said: Neither we nor
the Committee have the smallest idea of curry
ing favor with the Radical party by an invitation
or a dinner; but we all hope that the observa
tions and intercourse wMch may result from the
Fair will have a general tendency to disarm seo-
tional animosity and mollify the wounds inflicted
by the war.
The News and the Republican and other
prints would keep up a perpetual irritation with
the caustic and vitriol of their hot and bitter
crimination. We have had enough of it. It is
time to stop. The country needs repose, and
can never win it wMle the papers of both sec
tions teem with mutual vilification and black
guardism. The Executive Committee, in their
invitations to Northern men, had a purpose,
honorable, patriotic, dignified and commenda
ble ; and we are sure they will not abandon it in
deference to the mere slang about sycophancy, (
servility, toadyism and all the other amiable
ebullitions of the Republican and News.
Kettlewell's Manure.—The planters of Put

them filled in due time. These compounds are
all highly recommended by a number of intelli
gent planters, whose certificates are to be seen
in the announcement. Fertilizers have made
the planters the bulk of the cotton they make
this year, and the trade will be much increased.

The importance and value of coal to the com
mercial world can hardly be over-estimated.
The distribution of coal thronghout the United
States is wonderfully general and impartiaL
Deposits of coal are found from ocean to
ocean—from the Lakes to the Gulf.
We have 3,000,000 square miles of superficial
area. We have 200,000 square miles of coal, or
one-fifteenth of the entire area, and unmistaka
ble evidence of other immense fields.
We out-rank all other countries in this impor
tant element of wealth.
Let ns examine for a few moments, the coal
fields of Great Britain, and see if we cannot
find in their history the secret of her rapid ad
vance to the position of the first power in the
world. The annual production of coal in Great
Britain is over 100,000,000 tons, valuedat §150,-
000,000, affording employment for 500,000 peo
ple.
It is estimated that 10,000,000 tons of this
coal is employed in the production of mechan
ical power.
Asti tons of coal will produce power equal
to a year of manual labor of one man, 10,000,-
000 tons used in the production of mechanical
power equals the labor of 7,500,000 able-bodied
men one year.
A large portion is used in the manufacture of
Iron.
But the United States has more coaL not only
in absolute quantity, but in proportion to area,
than Great Britain, and of superior quality.
The same Is true of iron.
The United States has one square mile of coal
for every 15 miles of area.
Great Britain has one for every 20 miles.
Belgium one for every 22J miles,
Franco one for 200 square miles of area.
The production of coal in Great Britain in
creased from 32,250,000 tons in 1854 to 104,000,-
000 tons in 1867.
The greatest coal and iron producing coun
try is the most powerful.
The production of coal in Pennsylvania in
18C7 was 15,000,000 tons, wMch reduced to me
chanical power—equals 10,000,000 laborers.
Herein lies the secret of her great wealth and
power.
The coal area of Virginia, Kentucky, Ten
nessee, North Carolina, Georgia and Alabama
is computed at about 40,000 square miles, or
25,600,000 square acres.
A coal seam 5 feet tMck gives 5,000 tons per
acre. Five thousand tons per acre, gives 128,-
000,000,000 tons as the probable deposit in those
six States.
Mining at the rate of 104,000,000 tons per an
num, the present produot of Great Brittan, it
will take 1280 years to exhaust them.
Near Chattanooga and the line of tMs road is
a coal mine requiring the labor of 100 men.
Its annual product now is about 30,000 tons.
This used for the production of mechanical
power would represent the labor of 20,000 men.
In tMrteen years the coal product of Great
Britain trebled.
In the South it may, by the construction of
railways, be increased much more rapidly.
If in ten years the production reaches 10,000,-
000 tons—not an unreasonable estimate—and
one-tenth be used mechanically, it would repre
sent 750,000 laborers.
In twenty years it should reach 100,000,000
tons.
One-tenth used mechanically gives 10,000,000
tons, representing 7,500,000 laborers.
- What should prevent this from being a reality?
The iron product of the world is nearly 9,500-
000 tons annually, of wMch Great Britain pro
duces one half—say 4,500,000; United States
nearly 1,200,000; France 1,200,000; Belginm
500,000.
The production in Great Britain increased
from 3,456,000 tons in 1858, to 4,7G1,000 in
1867, about 38 per cent increase in a period of
ten years.
The production in the United States in 1858
was 705,000 tons, and in I8C7 it was 1,460,000
tons, or an increase of 100 per cent, in ten years.
Of this Pennsylvania produced 850,000; OMo
220,000, and New York 180,000.
In 1843 the first rail was rolled in the United
States, and in 1865—22 years—the quantity
made was 205,000 tons, against 700,000 tons in
Great Britain, which has a capacity of 1,000,000
tons.
The quantify of iron ore mined in Great Brit
ain, to produce 4,761,000 tons of pig metal, was
10,021,000 tons, showing the ore to yield an av
erage of 47 per cent of metal.
I have no data as to the per centage of metal
in the Pennsylvania ore, but we have ores right
around where we now stand, tributary to this
road, wMch will yield over sixty per cent., and
much wMch will yield between seventy and
eighty per cent.
The pig metal of Great Britain yields 79 per
cent of wrought iron.
That of the United States 75 per cent., ihat of
Belginm 80 per cent., and that of France 70.
Bnt the yield reported for the American pro^
duct is based principally on the Pennsylvania
metal, which is acknowledged to be far inferior
to the Southern, wMch will, under the same
management, yield a much larger per cent '■
. With the coal, the iron ore, the lime and sand
rock, lying side by side, a superior quality of
pig metal can bo produced in tMs section, and
at less cost than anywhere else on this continent
The quantity of iron used throughout the
world is estimated at an average - of 20 lbs. per
head; bnt ihe average of Great Britain and
Belginm is 189 lbs. per head—that of the’ Uni
ted (States 100 lbs. , and that of France 69 J lbs.
Thus it will -be.observed that - the countries
making and using the largest quantity in pro
portion to population,'nre the most progressive,
the most advanced in civilisation, in individual
wealth, general prosperity and national power.
The 40,000 square miles of ooal fields in the
States named, are embraced in an almost con
tinuous belt, about 600 miles long by 100 miles
wide, in the heart of the territory embraced be
tween the Atlantic and the Mississippi, and the
OMo, and the Potomac, and the Gulf.
Here then, with capital and labor to develop
the mineral deposits, and railways to afford
of Great Britain, whiohif developed to the same
extent as there, cannot be exhausted in two
thousand years; is capable of sustaining and
enricMnga population of 30,000,000; of sup
porting a mercantile and naval marine greater
than that of the world combined; and by the
use of one-tenth of the amount actually mined
for the production of mechanical power for
manufacturing purposes, will'invest it with al
most universal dominion.
It has been authoritatively stated that the line
of the proposed railway South from Cincinnati
to Chattanooga traverses coal fields for 200
miles and iron ore beds for 150 miles. These
are nearly 100 miles wide,. which gives a coal
area in this region alone equal to three times
the total coal area of Great Britain.
The coal and iron fields on and contiguous to
the Alabama and Chattanooga Railway is prob
ably fully equal to that above stated. Gentlemen,
I forbear to make the calculation these astound
ing results suggest and commend them to your
reflection.
In conclusion, gentlemen, permit me to call
your attention to another important matter.
Growing on these coal and iron fields is the
fleecy staple so much coveted by other nations
and sections; and flowing between the hills
filled with the minerals are the rivers supplying
the power to run the machinery made of these
minerals, to spin and weave the cotton.
No where else in the world, is there such a
favorable combination of manufacturing advan
tages ; no where else so many and powerful ele
ments of individual prosperity and national
power.

GENERAL FORREST SAID:
Ladies and Qcntlemen—Mr. President: It
is no ordinary occasion which has brought to
gether this large assemblage—composed of Ala
bamians, Tennesseeans, Georgians, and men
from New England—the men of the North and
the men of the South. And I am proud of the
opportunity offered by this occasion, of meeting
and greeting you and your guests, all friends
together on common ground in restored friend-
stop. As you all know, I am no speaker, bnt I
am glad to be able to welcome to our Southern
land Nortbern men and capital to aid ns in build
ing np our fallen fortunes.
My friends—for I recognize in tMs large
crowd many of my old comrades of the past—
as you know I have met the friends and neigh
bors of yonr guests of to-day on many a battle
field, where yon and I believed we were doing a
patriotic duty—bnt I am glad to-day to meet
and welcome these gentlemen from the North
as friends. I trust we always may, and I doubt
not we always shall remain so.
I think I perceive a lighting-up for the future
—a bright prospect of greater prosperity. I
see Northern men, with Northern capital, com
ing forward to aid in building np our country—
to aid yon and yours in developing and improv
ing what is left from the wreck of the past.
Friends and comrades, second their efforts—help
them to help yon, and thereby bind closer the
bonds of a lasting friendsMp and national unity.
We are now one people—we have bnt one Gov
ernment—wo live under and claim the protec
tion of the same flag. Come forward, then, and
contribute to the growth and prosperity of Ala
bama and her sister Southern States, together
with these friends who have come so far to help
yon.
TMs industrial revolution commenced in the
South cannot be stopped; it must go forward
and work out its destined results. New enter
prises must be entered on—mines must be
worked—railroads built—new sources of wealth
sought and opened. While you are engaged in
this great work here, on tMs side of your State,
I am engaged in a similar work in another por
tion, and I am gratified to say to-day that I have
not asked a single town or county for aid with
out receiving it. Our great future we cannot
forecast; but fifty years from now Alabama,
under the influences now set in motion, should
be one of the richest States in the Union. Her
mineral wealth is boundless—her power and in
fluence should be commensurate with her re
sources.
I feel to-day, that I too, as well as these
Northern friends, am a citizen of tho United
States; everybody hero feels so—and I doubt
not it is the desire of all to remain so. Let us
act as such; that more money and skilled labor
may come among ns from the abundance of the
North. With those aids no bounds can be set
to our prosperity.
Alabama has now a population of fifteen to

pare Massachusetts with Alabama—take away
ler machinery, shut up her foundries and work
shops, and her people could scarcely live. The
cotton spun in her factories goes in part from
Alabama—the iron to build her machinery is
mined beyond her limits. Yet see to what a
degree of wealth and prosperity the enterprise
of her people has brought her.
Let'every man help to carry on tMs mighty
work in our section—push onward tMs great in
dustrial revolution. I feel it to be my duty to
lend my aid, and I expect to do so. I exhort
you, friends, fellow citizens, fellow comrades of
other days, to come forward and follow now
where I lead, ns bravely as yon have done on
other fields. We have widows and orphans to
provide for—let us open mines, construct rail
ways, that poor orphan boys can be employed;
and build factories, that our widows and the lit
tle orphan girls can also find comfort and make
a subsistence by laboring in them. TMs done,
and we may look confidently for brighter, hap
pier, and more prosperous days.
Hence, to-day, burying and forgetting the past,
I gladly meet these Northern gentlemen, your
guests, laboring for your good, as brothers; with
you I accept their efforts to develop our section,
and uniting mine with theirs, exhort you to the
same course, to bo followed and crowned with
prosperity, peace, and unity.

Talbotton, September 28, 1869.
Editors Telegraph: Tho closing week has
been one of lively interest in the way of legal
matters. The new Judge, ex-Provisional Gov
ernor James Johnson, of Columbus, successor
of Hon. E. Worrill, of this place, has acquitted
himself with credit, in the discharge of Ms offi
cial duties to the people and the bar. Business
has been dispatched rapidly in clearing the old
docket, and, altogether, the result of the week’s
session has been satisfactory. Judge Johnson
is a man of no ordinary ability, possessing in an
eminent degree decision of character united
with determined energy. Aside-from his politi
cal status, he is a man of fine ability, command
ing person, and splendid knowledge of the law.
He doesn’t appear to bo a very bad Radical,
either. ■ * ’•* ’■
In respect to the bar, I must say it was un
usually brilliant this session. General Ramsey,
L. T. Downing, Colonel Smith and Joseph Pon,
of Columbus, Mark Blanford, of Buena Vista,
Colonel Wallace, of Butler, with many others,
were present. Of tho Talbotton bar, W. A.
Little, B. Hill, William Willis, were prominent.
I would include in this number, our noble and
eminent jurist ex-Judge, E. H. Worrill, than
whom no purer administrator of the laws ever
officiated in Georgia. In this estimation of Ms
past servioes, I rejoice'to see upon the resump
tion of the practise the country has bestowed
upon Mm a most liberal share of business.
It is now certain the crop will fall short from
one-third to one-half in Talbot county. Very
few plantations, Comparatively, will exceed a
half crop. The drought in July nearly ruined
portions of the valley. I leam it will take ten
acres in some sections of the valley, to make a
bale of cotton. The com is much better, and
altogether, the crop in the county will be an ex
cellent'one—enough, I trust, for another year’s
consumption.
As tne various fertilizers have been tested
this year, ko an endless variety of cotton seed
seems to have been introduced into this county
to ascertain the relative value.of their produo-'
tiveness and staple. The Moina, so far, is un
surpassed. The Peeler comes next.
Both of these cottons, in my opinion, are
superior to the Dixon. The quality of the
staple is almost equal to Sea Island, besides
being prolific in bearing. Mr. James Marshall,
of tMs county, has a number of acrer, of Moina,
very fine ; and last year was offered ten cents a
pound more for this variety than the ordinary
Staple,’ “ ' *" ' ' i-
mention there is a great curiosity grown by our
fellow citizen, Miranda Fort, wMch beats pop
corn, even, for productiveness. He plants
like broom com, chops width of hoe, leaving
one stalk, wMch yields a snug little ear to every
hiU of com. [,«'%>
It is gratifying to observe the improvements
now being made on Le Yert College. It is be

Cotton Production—Advice to British
-llauul'actnrers.
From the New Yorl: Herald of the 27f A.]
As we have stated. England is troubled and
anxious about her future supply of cotton, and
instead of looking to India, Egypt or South
America for cotton lands we would repeat our
suggestion that the best thing England can do
is for her capitalists to make investments in
the cotton lands of the South, now for sale in
the market at a price lower than they have
been since they were entered as government
lands, and lower than they ever will be again.
In Alabama, Florida, Mississippi, Arkansas,
Louisiana and Texas there are some of the best
cotton lands in the world for sale, and if Eng
lishmen desire cotton of an excellent quality,
at a fair price, they will not hesitate to embark
at once in an enterprise that cannot bnt be
successful. Texas haB some 12,000,000 acres
of superior cotton lands, and' has the capacity
to produce more bales in one year than have
ever been produced in one season. Alabama
has 6,000,000 acres of good cotton lands, and
results have shown since the war that cotton is
a very profitable crop.
The cotton crop of 1852 was 3,150,000 bales,
and the estimated number of bands employed
in its production was 789,500. This was only
four bales to each hand. Now, with free labor,
under an improved system of cultivation, with
deep ploughing, with the use of guano, and with
a share of the crop produced going to the labor-
era, the number of bales to each hand may be
safely estimated at eight, and this will yield a
large profit to the.planter. We believe the rais
ing of cotton in the United StateB is to be the
most remunerative crop the farmer can pnt into
the soil. A good hand will take care of ten aeres,
and only one bale to the acre, of 450 pounds,
gives 4500 pounds of cotton per hand. Ameri
can cotton now sells in .Liverpool at from lOjd.

The events of yesterday produced comparative
calmness on Wall street to-day. Little business was
done in the Gold Room, or Stock Exchange, and.
outside, the streets seemed deserted. Many injunc

the effect to bring business almost to a stand still.
Gold was sold to-day at the Stock Exchange, hut

The number of bales this year is estimated at
3,000,000, and at twenty-five cents a pound the
crop of 1869 will be worth, at 450 ponnds to the
bale, the sum of §337,500,000—more than' the
value of any cotton crop ever produced before
in the United States. At twenty cents a pound
the crop of this year is worth §270,000,000. In
I860 the imports of cotton from the United
States into Great Britain were 2,580,700 bales,
and from Brazil 103,000 bales, from Egypt
109,500 bales, from the East Indies 563,200
bales, from the West Indies 9,800 bales: total
imports into Great Britain in 1860, 3,366,500

During the late war one of the best writers in
England said “that the United States conld levy
a small export duty on cotton; for without
the United* States England could not obtain
a supply of cotton, of such quality as she

A Great Rascal.—Justice George M. Logan had
before him yesterday, on achargo of burglary in the
night, the infamous swindler and scoundrel James
W. Donaldson, alias Donnelly. The testimony
showed that on Thursday night last, he stopped at
Mrs. Aikims, near this city, and about 2 o’clock Fri
day morning, he got np and ieft; but before day he
returned to the house and, enteting it through a
window, stole and carried off two lady's shawls, one
or two slurts and other articles of clothing, and a
small sum of money he found in Mrs. A.’a pocket-
book. A little girl who was in the room, says he
awoke her and she saw him leave through the win
dow. The next morning the articles were missing
and the police placed upon the tracks of the burglar.
After leaving Mr. Aikins,’ Donaldson started out
on the Columbus road, and stopped at a blacksmith
shop,.where he tried to sell one of the stolen shawls
to a negro man, telling Mm that he had bought it
from a woman for 83, hut would sell it for half price.
Tho negro was in court and identified the prisoner.
He was also identified by Mrs. Aikins and the girl
who saw him in the house just before day on tho
night of tho burglaiy. The testimony was against him
and Justice Logan bound Mm over to the November
term of the Superior Court in the sum of $1000,
and in default of hail, he must go to jail. Failing
to give the required bond he was imprisoned, where
he will stay until removed to tho penitentiary on
conviction of the charge above named, or some one
of the half dozen others against him for stealing
and swindling.
Justice Logan received a letter from Mr. J. D.
IVIlkcs, of Montezuma, stating that Donaldson had
been there recently, and represented himself as an
agent for a largo grocery and provision house in Sa
vannah, and had even sold to him (Wilkes), a cask
of bacon and a lot of sugar, upon wMch $25 had
been advanced, and since then nothing bad been
heard of the scamp until his arrest in a neighboring
city was announced in the papers. The rascal will
have to answer.for this little piece of villainy also.
Again, ho has the cool effrontery and impudence
to acknowledge that he had enticed Mrs. Langford,
of Atlanta, to soil her furniture, under tho promise
that he would cany her and her children to Ameri
cas, and givo them employment, and that having
got the poor woman’s money in his possession, de
serted her at tMs place. He denied none of the char
ges made against him by Mrs. Langford. He ought
to be sent to tho penitentiary about ten years for
this ineffably mean and dastardly act.
In fact, tho scoundrel has been' traveling all
through Central Georgia perpetrating his villainies,
and from the developments already made, Justice
Logan is satisfied that Donaldson is the grandest
scoundrel he has ever had before him on a prelimi
nary examination. Tho wretch and Bob Wagner
should be coupled together and work the balance
of their days in the penitentiary.
Yotjng Africa on Stilts.—A moat humorous in
cident 'occurred on Wednesday last, at a colored
school, taught by a colored man, in this city,, in
wMch young Africa “riz in its wrath," and wMle at
that interesting altifrtdej let itself drop like a brick
from a four story scaffold, on their schoolmaster,
and "fanned” him clean out. It happened in this
wiso: .
The schoolmaster had undertaken to giro one of
the boys, .aboutlourteen years old, a larrupping with
a leather strap, but the boy caught tiie strap in his
hand and began to give Ms instructor a little of it;
whereupon the instructor knocked his pupil down,
and planting his knees upon the boy's breast, • waia
literally wearing Mm out. At this point- of the bru
tal proceedings, two half grown girls pitched hj,’
with sticks upon the colored man of letters, and he
then turned upon them. This was too much far
the boys in the school and they went in to defend
the girls, and in less time than we have taken to
tell it, old Socrates had about twenty-five pugna
cious and ferocious little niggers darting at him like
a flock of martins at a sparrow-hawk. They were
too much for Mm and the “old fel" got whaled liko
blazes. Tho row broke up the school.

To Carpenters.—We received yesterday from
Eatonton a letter that reads thus: “Will you help
us to get some good house carpenters? We are
now in great need of them at the Fair Grounds and
for private purposes. Can give two or three steady
employment for six weeks on my own house. You
may safely promise house carpenters employment
at Eatonton, or in its -vicinity, who will apply for
work in the next ten days.”
From the many now buildings now going np in
Macon, and the many old ones being repaired, we
judge that idle carpenters are scarce, and our friend
will find difficulty in getting hia order filled in (his
market—to use commercial parlance. Good me
chanics are at a premium in Macon, juBt now,' but
if there are any carpenters who want employment,
the foregoing will inform them where they can
get it.
Freedhan’s Saving Bank and Trust Company.—
At tho request of the agent of tMs institution, in
our city, we dropped in yesterday to see how the
business was conducted and to gather a few dots of
interest to those of the colored readers of tho Tel
egraph, who deposit their funds in this bank. The
agent, T. G. Stewart, an intelligent colored man
and, wo believe, a man of honesty and reliability,'
showed us his books and gave ns all the informa
tion desired. He keeps all the books in veiy neat
style, and in such simple and explicit form as to be
clearlyintelligibletohiaclassof customers. Up to
to the 25th of September, insh, there have been de
posited in tMs bank the sum of 825,267, 61. Drafts
paid up to the 25th, amount to $12,24S,61. We also
noticed that the freedmen, or atleast a few of them
who worked on shares during the present year, have
deposited their cotton with the agent of the hank,
and he has samples' of it on Ms board for sale and
seems to know precisely what he is about. '
All deposits of five dollars and upward made in
this bank, draw five per cent, interest, payable tri-
ennially or three times a year, while the deposits
are invested in government securities. To give the
general reader an idea of the scale on wMcli this
bank does business, we might state that the heavi
est depositor ha3 but $1100 in the vault. Deposits
are made in any amount, from five cents up, and
not a dollar in the institution belongs to a wMte
man. •
The Fair Grounds.—About sixty laborers are
now at work on the Laboratory Grounds, and the
work is being pushed along rapidly. It is the de
termination of tho Executive Committee to prepare
a beautiful race track, for testing the speed and
bottom of horses, and the exhibition in this partic
ular will be the most interesting and exciting fea
ture of the Fair. We all like fine and fast horses
for pleasure drives, and good stock for hauling pur
poses, and from present indications we shall have
a splendid exMbition of both during Fair week.
As yet, tho work of erecting an engine in the main
building, for testing the virtues of all kinds of ma-
cMnery which require steam or botae power, has
not commenced; hut energetic and competent gen
tlemen have this matter in hand and it will be well
and properly attended to.
A Boston i*afer of Monday last says : There is

Mayor’s Court.—Tho first case called a *1

The testimony proved that Mrs. Venable is
habit of whaling her liege lord whenever she pia
and particularly whenever she gets mad; andb»

she had, on Monday last, given her wayward Jn*l
a most awful mauling with a stick, for not wo:»I
as she thought he ought to do. On one ortw^l
casions James has fought back, bnt it cost bs l l
his pocket change, or a few days in the gnaid-h>*|
and he determined to bear Ms wife’s abase nw|
than go to law with her. We are glad to state *1
His Honor took sides with James yest«td»j,J|
fined Ms “worser haff” $25, or she could keep'
money and go to iail for twenty days. Tte3S|
sion so exasperated and maddened the won* 1 I
she refusod either to pay the fine or accep‘^1
temative; and when it was attempted to tu-' |
to the guard-house, she stoutly resisted, AE-itJ
quired the strength of three policemen to 1
her. They succeeded, after a desperate i
in getting her to jail, where, we hope, in trf*
retirement of her cell, she will indnlge ir *'
sober reflection, and come to the concluao 0 ®
whatever may he her opinion of her own <
she is, nevertheless, liable to fine ani KPPJ®
