MACON FRIDAY, OCTOBER 8, I860.
Among the Bears.
A friend of-ours, on his rambles last -week,
came across a Captain among the New York
Cotton Bears. Capb Bear was on a mission
connected with a grand simnltaneons Bear
movement, which was to bring down cotton to
eighteen cents by the 1st of December. Of
coarse, he did not let oar informant into the
modus operandi; bnt Captain Bear had no.
more donbt of his success than he had of his
own existence, and he “snorted” at the ab
surdity of cotton at more than twenty cents, in
the hands of manufacturers. The manufac
turers could not afford to pay more, and should
not he asked to do it. It would ruin their busi
ness in the end—shut up their mills and then
where would cotton be ?
Our friend, though not in the cotton trade,
replied that although he would not bet that cot
ton would not he worked down to eighteen or
twenty cents before Christmas, he would take a
Bmall risk that it would be thirty cents or over
in May. Captain Bear manifested no disposi
tion to hazard an investment upon this latter
contingency, and they parted—the Captain con
tinuing Southwestward to New Orleans, and our
friend slanting down into Georgia,
Our informant is of the opinion, from what
he saw and heard in New York and elsewhere,
that a combined onslaught upon the cotton mar
ket is now pending. Moneyed men naturally
wish to repeat the experiments in cotton of the
last two years, and no wonder! Look at them:
Cotton in December, 18G8, twenty cents, and in
June, 18G9, thirty cents and upwards—profits
ten cents a pound and over—say fifty dollars a
bag. Again: Cotton December, 18G7, ten cents,
and cotton in Jane, 18G8, twenty-eight cents,
or eighteen cents profit, or ninety dollars a bag
of GOO pounds weight.
That is a better business than bulling and
bearing gold in Wall street, and not half so haz
ardous, os (for one reason) there is no govern
ment with a grand reserve on hand to smash the
heads of the speculators whenever occasion calls
for it. The cotton crop of America is now so
Small and so certain to be required by consum
ers, every bale of it, and money or securities
Which can be used as money is so abundant,
that there is not, in the whole range of trade,
so promising a subject for speculation as this
crop. It can be readiiy controlled, as we see it
has been the past two years, by the capitalists
of the country, and the success which has at
tended such operations is obviously a strong in
ducement to repeat them.
When wo say that the crop can be controlled
in this way, wo mean of course such portion of
it as is on the market; and, therefore, it should
be the earnest effort of planters to acquire that
condition of pecuniary ease hnd independence
which will enable them to consult their judg
ment, and not their necessities, in selling their
crops. The planter who has paper to meet, if
he cannot get advances, must sell at what he can
get and discharge his obligations. There is no
worse economy than that which will involve
breaking faith with your creditors. Bnt let it
be the aim of all to get as speedily as possible
into * position where you can hold your crop
till midsummer, if needful, and secure specula
tor’s prices.
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. 1Ve have had enough of it. It is
time to stop. The country needs repose, and
can never win it while the papers of both sec
tions teem with mutual villifleation and black
guardism.—Macon Telegraph.
Speaking alone for this journal, we repudiate
the charge of ‘■perpetual irritation," an d the
editor of the Telxqbaph knows that he writes
libel when he connects the Republican with “vil
ification and blackguardism.” It is aggression
on our rights that keeps the South “in hot wa-
ter,” and the Southern men who are eternally
fawning around and boot-licking the people who
Ill-treat and despise ns, invite both wrong and
contempt, and are doing more to keep the South
in bondage than all other agencies combined.
To such an extent has this practice of genuflec
tions been carried, that the North is coming to
regard ns as a servile race who will stand any
thing that is pat upon us. We toll the Tele
graph that the men who put us in this position
do not represent either the good sense or spirit
of tiie people of the South. Wo regard it as
both impolitic and contemptible, and shall con
tinue so to characterize it, even at the risk of
incurring the displeasure of Governor Bullock
and his Democratic apologists.—Savannah Re
publican, 3d inst.
The proper attitude of Southern men to
wards the dominant States and the Federal
Tlie Storms.
Captain Saxby, of the Royal Navy, is right.
His prediction of violent storms and floods, re
sulting from the concurrent attraction of the
sun and moon, was verified by the events of
yesterday as narrated by telegram. Terrible
storms and floods in Baltimore, Philadelphia,
and New York. Great losses of property.
These catastrophes occur, it is true, about
twenty-four hours ahead of his time, but very
probably are the result of causes assigned by
him.
Proposed Visit oftbe President to Ibe
Month.
Senator Spencer and Colonel John C. Stokes,
of Alabama, had a lengthy interview with the
President this morning on the subject of a com
plete restoration of law and order in the South.
Tho result of the interview was highly satisfac
tory and complimentary to the people of the
South and their intentions. The President hopes
to visit the South this winter.
The foregoing appears in the Washington dis-
patohes of the 30th ultimo, to the New York
Herald. We have been informed that there is
a letter in Macon from the Private Secretary of
the President, which states that the President
intends to visit the State Fair in Macon, if he
can possibly do so, consistently with official en
gagements at that timo. We hope bo will come,
and are sure he will meet with a hearty welcome
and with the best entertainment our people can
provide for him. __
The Chattahoochee River.—Daring the first
three days of the week, says the Columbus En
quirer of Sunday, tho Chattahoochee rose some
18 inches or two feet, on the strength of which
the Bandy Moore, which lay at the wharf during
most of the week> left for points below. Dur
ing the last three days the water receded, and it
was almost as low as ever yesterday. From in
dications, however, we think there will soon be
plenty of water to float our boats, and we may
expect a lively and interesting little commerce
on the once busy bosom of our river.
Ebbob.—The Sun and Times, of Columbus,
speaking of Mr. C. P. Culver’s letter to us about
the express train and the reporters, pronounces
Mr. O. a department clerk of the Government.
He is one of a firm largely engaged in the col
lection of claims—is the attorney for the Geor
gia Agricultural Society—is a Georgian warmly
interested in the welfare of the State, and is a
thorough-going Democrat.
The Rubai. Carolinian.—We have the first
number of this publication by Walker, Evans
& Cogswell, of Charleston, South Carolina. It
opens with a portrait of David Dickson and an
article upon his improved farming. It is a well
printed pamphlet of about seventy pages, with
a very extended table of contents and abundant
illustrations. We have no doubt it will supply
a want among intelligent Southern agriculturists
and wish it much success. Terms $2 a year.
Oolumbub Enquirer.—Tho last number of
this sterling paper announces that Mr. Thos. J.
Jackson will take charge of its local department,
and contains an introductory editorial from that
gentleman.
Stbiee in Charleston.—The Courier says
there was a strike of the colored stevedores in
Charleston last Friday. They stopped work on
• demand for two dollars and a half and three
dollars a day. ___
Renao’s Lot or Sr Paul. — This work has
just been received by Havens Sc Brown, and is
a volume of 400 pages. The author's life of

The Episcopal Convention of the Dioeese of
New York meets this week. The Evening Post
says it is understood that the subject of the re-
omit introduction of several ritualistic features
at St. Alban's will be brought to the notice of
. the convention. The most remarkable part of
this movement is the fact that the present com
plaint comes from the High Churchmen them
selves. Dr. Ewer, of Boston, will be questioned
for calling Protestantism a failure.
The High Bridge.—Gen. Mshone has con
tracted with s Northern firm for the erection of
a substantial iron bridge, to be completed Sep
tember 1, 1870, and to oost $172,000. While
the bridge is being built the can will run around
on a temporary track. The present bridge is
800 yards long and 136 feet high at its greatest
~ rthvation.—JhirktvQU Times.
Government, has been the most serious and
embarrassing political question which has ever
addressed itself to our minds, and we try to
solve it under a just sense of responsibility to
God and the country—with a heart full of ear
nest devotion to the present and future welfare
of Georgia, and minds as much freed, as we can
free them, of those evil and unsafe counsellors,
passion and resentment
We feel as sensibly as any man the wrongs of
onr people—tho injustice with which a common
government was wrested from all its constitu
tional limitations and converted in an engine,
first to assail onr civilization and then to de
stroy our property, lives and liberties because
wo dared to defend it We feel as deeply as
anybody else the humiliations imposed upon ns
of unconditional submission to our assailants,
and the exaction of even solemn legislative dis
avowals of tho right of self-protection. We
feel as deeply as anybody the usurpation of our
right of self-government—the incorporation of
a barbarous and ignorant race into onr citizen
ship—the destruction of all legal safeguards—
the insecurity of the present and the donbt and
gloom which hang ovor the political future.
On the other hand, these plain facts stare us
in tho face. However much we may fail to real
ize it, tho Northern States—the Northern peo
ple and Federal Government feel themselves to
be tho deeply injured and aggrieved parties.
They say and believe, that without dne cause
we assailed and almost succeeded in destroying
a government as essential for our own protec
tion as for theirs, and in the effort, are justly
responsible for the loss of myriads of lives and
the wasting of common property to an extent
which has almost overwhelmed the country in
debt and taxation. That is their belief, and you
cannot beat it out of them.
In this attitude, and with these feelings stand
both parties. The fight is over. A common
nationality and destiny are inevitable. Every
man's good sense tells him that the sooner the
quarrel is forgotten and harmony restored the
better.
But maDy political issues still divide us. Tho
North puts herself upon her power—the South
upon her dignity. The work of substantial re
construction must begin sometime, and every
advance to it by either party becomes in the
North, copperheadism—in the South, servility;
and meanwhile we see in tho example of Vir
ginia, Texas and Mississippi the extremes to
which the necessities of reconstruction are driv
ing our people; and we in Georgia know not
what is before us in the way of new exactions
springing from chronic sectional hostility.
What is to be done ? In our judgment the
South will not abase herself by manifesting in
every reasonable and proper way a desire for a
restoration of sectional comity. True, we feel
ourselves to be the injured party—but every
school boy will recollect the old couplet in the
copy book:
“Forgiveness to the injured doth belong;
They never pardon who have done the wrong.”
The approaches to reconciliation after a quar
rel must ever be, to some extent, humiliating,
and human experience shows they always come
to a greater extent from tho injured party. Un
fortunately for us wo have a great cause in
court before a party prepossessed against us
who is judge, jury, witness and lawgiver all in
one. If onr readers had their property in dis
pute before a tribunal in snch a temper, they
would neglectno fair means to remove prejudice
and insure as favorable a result as possible. So
we say, a sound judgment upon the situation re
quires the Southern people to do the best they
can, consistently with reason and self-respect,
to secure themselves against an unfriendly
court, and to protect their own interests in the
present and to secure the right of self-protection
in the future.
The Republican and ourselves are a good deal
too venerable to indulge gracefully in vitupera
tion. The expression he complains of was de
signed for no special application to him and
wonld be inapplicable to his paper. But, never
theless, the .Republican is very sweeping and
bitter in his maledictions. His nonsense about
boot-licking” and “Democratic apologists for
Bullock” everybody will understand to be the
stale appeal from reason to popular prejudice.

Ax Anecdote or the Gold Crash.—The New
York Times tells the following •
A gentleman met a friend on the street, and
in response to the usual question of how he was
coming out, replied, “A week ago I was worth
$80,000 clear of the world. To-day every dol
lar I can get together will amount to just $65.”
It is estimated that the depreciation in the
price of gold and securities dealt in on the
“street,” since Thursday of last week, will reach
one hundred million dollars in currency. Many
men have been reduced from affluence to pov
erty.
ExurarnoN or Fancy Articles.—Our outside

A Philosopher Blowing.
Philosopher Forney, in the Philadelphia
Press, of Friday, the 1st instant, goes after the
Macon Teleobaph in a veiy cautionary manner.
We are sorry to be forced to say to OoL Forney,
that we are nnable to recall the opinion we ex
pressed of Butler. He is not, according to the
best of our information—a gentleman, but
man who used the power vested in him by a
commission in the United States service in
wanton insult, cruelty, extortion and swindling
the people of Louisiana, of which the most
ample and complete evidence has been offered
by citizens of New Orleans to Congress—has,
in fact, been thrust upon a committee of that
body, and now slumbers, if we mistake not, in
the Congressional archives, because it would
explode like a torpedo if it were touched. That
is the reason why we think the committee would
not doliberately and knowingly invite Butler,
and if gentlemen of his party choose to put
their acceptance of a cordial invitation to them
selves, upon the contingency of the recognition
of Butler as a man of honor and honesty, let
them first meet and confute the New Orleans
testimony, and we will then reconsider onr
opinion. The Press says:
General Butler, of Massachusetts, having been
asked to the State Fair at Macon, Ga., in No
vember, by the regular committee, the Macon
Teleobaph, in order to appease tho Southern
newspapers which have bitterly denounced the
committee for extending a courteous invitation,
says that sending the aforesaid invitation was
“a mere inadvertence, resulting solely from a
general instruction to invito the members of
Congress, without thought that General Butler
was of the number." Again says the Tele
obaph : “We look upon him as morally infn-
mous, not only by reason of tho tyrannical,
abusive, and insulting character of his military
domination, but also by its unblushing thiev
ery and plunder of the Sonthem people;” and
further, “We donbt not the Executive Commit
tee entertain tho same opinion." Happily for
Gen. Butler, ho declined the honor; but as there
are others who have been invited—tho editor of
the Chronicle and Press included—and who
have been disposed to accept, it is worth know
ing whether thoy also have been asked “by in
advertence." Most of these gentlemen are the
personal and political friends of Gen. Butler;
men who admire his great talents and know his
high character, public and private, and it is not
very likely, even if they were sure they had not
been invited by “inadvertence,” that they could
consent 'to attend any meeting when such an in
sult was sought to be put upon General Bntler.
The Committee owe it to themselves to explain,
not alone whether these insults are published
with their sanction, but whether other Republi
cans, who heartily sympathizo with General
Bntler, have also been invited by “inadver-
enca.” Southern gentlemen have not been
in the habit of debasing the sacred rites of hos
pitality.
The President on Virginia.
Tho New York Horald, of tho 1st instant,
contains tho following special dispatch from
Washington, which is evidently designed as an
authoritative exposition of the attitude of Gen.
Grant in relation to Virginia. It is certainly a
vast improvement upon what has hitherto been
represented to be his position :
Reconstruction op Virginia—The President
Desirous that the State he Restored to
the Union—The Duplicity op Andy John
son. . i
Washington, September 30, 1869.—In con
versation with Lieutenant Governor Lewis, of
Virginia, who recently visited Washington,
President Grant said: “There will be no diffi
culty about the admission of Virginia after the
meeting of Congress, and all that is required is
that they act as though they (the Legislature)
were acting in good faith and desired to renew
their relations with tho general government.”
He spoke at some length about President John
son’s duplicity towards the South, and said that
his (Grant’s) whole action had been with the
single idea of restoring peace. He was confi
dent that Virginia reconstruction would not be
iurther retarded. Senator Wilson, of Massa
chusetts, who was present at tho interview,
expressed himself decidedly in favor of
tho immediate admission of the State
under tho reconstruction laws, and said
that no further obstacle should bo offered
by Congress; that they were tired of tho long
delay and hoped for a speedy restoration, and
that he would cheorfully advocate tho removal
of tho disabilities of every one who should ex
press himself willing to return to tho old gov
ernment in good faith, bnt cantioned against
the adoption of the ideas of tho old political
hacks and stagors, who were counselling accept
ance of admission only upon the grounds of
their qualifications to office. The President had
been frequently solicited to express his prefer
ence for the gentlemen spoken of forelection as
United States Senators, but declined offering
any expression out of delicacy, and said he had
no objection to either gentleman proposed, but
said that it wonld be required that Virginia Sen
ators shonid take the iron-clad oath.
Tbe
World’s Benefactors—Efficient
Uledical Instruments.
In the multiplicity of human charaoters and
actions, so diverse, so varied, so fraught with
jreat results and interests, or complicated with
: nexplicable and multifarious phases of human
conduct, representing tho lights and shades;
the brilliant, glorious, exalted and refined, as
well as the dark, degrading, selfish and wicked
traits of humanity ; tho civilized portions of
mankind instinctively shudder at evil deeds and
they universally appreciate and applaud noble
acts and glorious achievements and great dis
coverers, explorere and inventors in whatever
field of science or art, are considered, or at
least should be, the world's benefactors. “Man,
know thyself,” is a high and holy injunction,
and whoever is in any way instrumental in di
recting ns into the path of self-khowledge, mer
its our high appreciation and gratitude. From
our ignorance of ourselves, we have committed
many indiscretions, and often grossly violated
the laws of our being, bringing upon ourselves
moral, mental and physical sufferings, and pre
mature death. So universal has been the igno
rance of mankind in regard to his own organism,
that nearly all human beings are physically
diseased. In the great work of hnman phys
ical redemption, Dr. Hunter is performing
a conspicuous and noble part. He is sending
broadcast, gratuitously to the people, ably and
excellently written dissertations upon the vari
ous diseases which flesh is heir to, with direc
tions and advice in regard to the proper mode
of treatment. And now it becomes onr pleasant
duty to notice a beautiful instrument, construct
ed by him, whereby local applications of a me
dicinal nature may be made to the lungs inter
nally, in the form of a sublimated soothing mist
or vapor, of a temperature about blood heat,
whereby a mechanical division of powerful re
medies are rendered harmless, but exceedingly
efficacious. Bat we wonld especially sail atten
tion to another instrument, the invention of Dr.
Hunter, an ingenions and efficient one to apply
remedies for the cure of catarrh, just to the de
sired point, and yet withont any inconvenionce
or pain. Its description we will not attempt to
give at this time, but would recommend all per
sons affected with this painful disease, and all
practical physicians to either visit the doctor or
correspond with him, and thus make themselves
acquainted with his modes of treatment of the
diseases he makes a specialty, and examine for
themselves bis beautiful and effioient instru
ments.
The Gods Help Those Who Help Them
selves.—The Charleston News replies to a
country contemporary, who is in favor of the
stand-aloof-indignified inaction policy, as fol
lows :
In this part of the State we are not so philo
sophical as to say that we don’t care how the
negroes vote, for upon the way in whioh they
vote depends their welfare and ours. Thecal-
ready feel indirectly the pressure of taxation,
and still more do they feel tbe utter unselfish
ness of their so-called friends. They will, in
time, find out for themselves that our interests
are theire; but with our help they will know it,
and act upon it at the next general elections.
We might wait and wait quietly with folded
arms, but an old proverb says that while the
grass is growing the steed may starve. This is
onr predicament.

From Sumter County.
Danville, Ga., October 1st, 1869.
Editors Telegraph: We hare been waiting to
see all that we oould, to hear all that we could,
and to gather all the foots that we could, from
reliable sources, in regard to the present orop
and from the foots behind us, and the lights be
fore us, we are falling very short of our previ
ous expectations as regards the cotton crop. In
three weeks from date the cotton crop will have
been picked out, ginned, packed, and in the
market, if we wish it there ; but, unless it com
mands twenty-five cents, we don’t think we will
sell much, if any. Nor would it surprise us if
a great many planters hold for thirty. They
are talking ia little independent about it, at
least, and wo glory in their spunk. What’s the
use of sacrificing our hard earnings when wo
can do better?
Our cotton opened unusually soon—command
ed a good price. We rushed it on the market,
sold it and paid np most of onr debts; and who
would not feel a little independent under these
auspices? We’ve got you fay the leg, Mr. Cot
ton Buyer; comountous and wait our motion
one time, will you ? There being such deficien
cy in labor at the start, we did not anticipate a
very large crop. You say the deficiency ia la
bor was supplied by the use of fertilizers. To
a great extent this is true, but not enough, wo
opine, to make tho present crop in excess of tho
last, and doubt whether it comes np with it.
Time will soon show.
Another remarkable saying we will notice,
and then we have done: Writers frequently say
that, owing to the deficiency in labor, wo must
curtail our farms, make one acre make as much
os five or six. A very good plan, bnt pause,
gentle writer, if we can’t get the labor to plant
with how are you going to gather theso largo
crops ? Get day hands, yon will say. We all
can’t get day hands. Somebody will miss cer
tain.
The com crop will be short, yet by using
economy and sowing small grain we can tin on
little.
We did want to say something of the writer,
who some time since said that farmers were the
most ignorant class of people in the world. Wo
will say this much to him, anyhow: We knew
that before, tell us something that we don't
know. Very respectfully yours,
Danville.
Time to Stop.
Editors Telegraph : Has not tho disgusting
and hideous tale written by Mra. Stowe, about
Byron and his sister been sufficiently discussed?
Is there a single living soul, outside of the im
maculate Mis. Harriett’s own family circle, who
believes a word of the monstrosity she has
published ? But whether the story be true or
false, is it in good taste to continue catching up
everything that is written about so revolting a
subject, and printing it in the columns of news
papers that penetrate the family circle, and
meet the eyes of wives and children ? Is it
possible that editors who persist in keeping this
beta noir before tho public have sisters or
daughters? They must have mothers, either
here or in the grave. They are part of the
human race—so let them consent to bury in
oblivion a subject that, however interesting it
maybe to a depraved and prurient imagina
tion, excites nothing but horror and disgust in
every virtuous heart and well regulated mind.
(It is much worse than the few paragraphs pub
lished not long since concerning a little South
ern episode in the life of a Northern Cabinet
officer; and yet certain miserablcs—certain
inanili—certain bayors at the moon, were very
much exercised with regard to these paragraphs.)
If editors and writers cannot dismiss Mrs. Stowe
and her shocking effusions from their fancies,
let them at least cease to fill so large and con
spicuous a part of their papers with them, and
thus obtrude them on tho observation of their
subscribers, who prefer something less detest
able and unnatural. Poyntz.

Parties can make private sales, but must give
notice at tho office of the Secretary or transfer
in writing the owner’s receipt to the purchaser.
2. The Society is responsible and will prompt
ly pay all damages to articles injured while in its
care or under exhibition; except, of course,
when the injury is the result of the carelessness
of tho owner. Extra attention and means of
; protection are always afforded for articles of del-
I cate texture and finish.
3. Parties at a distance who wish to exhibit
fancy and other articles, and who cannot attend,

Seizure of the Steamer Cuba.
Wilmington, Oct. 4.—Tho privateer Hornet alias
Cuba appeared off SmithTille on Saturday evening
with Cuban colors flying. It has bsen definitely as
certained that she has two hundred mon and- thirty
officers aboard, tho majority of the latter being ex-
Confcderatcs. Her armament consists of eight
heavy guns. Yesterday she anchored inside tho bar
and sent an engineer and purser to tho city to se
cure a supply of coal, that taken aboard off New
York not being adapted to quick movements. Sus
picions being soon aroused, the officers, after en
gaging a supply cf coal, returned to the vessel with
out making arrangements to get the coal aboard.
Thoy left the city last night about twelve o’clock for
Smithvillo, tbirty-fivo miles below tho city, in a
small yawl.
Collector of Customs Burnley chartered the steam
tng Alpha this mornmg at four o’clock, and haviDg
placed in the hands of Deputy United States Mar
shal a warrant issued by the United States Com
missioner, placed him aboard of her with part of
tho Customs forco, with orders to detain tho priva
teer until further orders. . Col. Frank, commander
of tho United States troops posted at Smithvillo,
ia expected to co-operato with the Deputy Marshal
and force if necessary. Tho Alpha has not yet re
turned. Further intelligence will be telegraphed
immediately on her arrival. The officers who visited
the city were very bold and confident, insisting that
there ia no process by which a privateer can be
legally detained. The event creates much excite
ment
Tho Cuba was seized by tho Deputy U. S. Marshal
at Smithvillo at 12 sl to-day, and brought np to the
city and anchored half a mile below. A number of
officers are now in the city, and positive in their
declarations that there is no pretext under which
she can be detained by the authorities any longer
than necessary to have an investigation in arma
ment and crew. The Cuba is a formidable vessel,
and represented to have great speed. She is short
of coal and provisions, and machinery considerably
deranged.
Tho following is a complete list of officers: Com
modore Edward Higgins, Commander; Thomas L.
Dorwin, Lieutenant Commander; David A. Telfair,

Savannah, October 4.—The Morning News has
reports from Florida of tho arrival of the steamship
Alabama at Fernandina on Friday night from Now
York, with five hundred men, including sixty offi

on the gulf coast. Tho men were immediately put
aboard tho cars and sent to Cedar Keys where
steamers await them. Two hundred men arrived at
Baldwin, Florida, from Savannah, on Saturday
night. They are supposod to be a portion of a com

Fearfal Storms and Floods.
Baltimore, October 4.—The loss by a terrific flood
last night, is nearly a quarter of a mdlion dollars.
Fortress Mosboe, October 4.—A heavy north
easter prevailed last night.
New Yobk, October 4.—A heavy gale and torrents
of rain at daylight this morning. The tide ia very
high.
Philadelphia, October 4—The Schuylkill River
has risen ten feet and much property has been de
stroyed.
Dover Plaiks, N. Y., October 4.—The Harlem
railroad track above Millerton, is all washed away.
Tho bridges at Copake and Ghent are gone.

Sour Grapes.
The New York Mercantile Journal, of Thurs
day, says:
It is to be sincerely hoped that the financial
affairs of the country will soon settle down to
their usual quiet, and that the fury of the storm
is over. The actual loss to the nation occasion
ed by this flurry may be counted by hundreds
of thousands of dollars; still that will be a great
blessing, if thereby we shall be enabled to per
suade a majority of our fellow-citizens that the
use of gold and silver as a currency, is a relic
of old time barbarism which is unworthy of this
enlightened age. If the people will simply give
this matter the attention which its great import
ance demand, all will be well.
That is the very last “relic of old time bar
barism,” we have heard of. It will do to go
with tho sovereignty of the States—trial by
jury—habeas corpus—and all the other relics of
old time barbarism whioh have been dispensed
with as “unworthy of this enlightened ago.”
Teleobaph to the Moon.—An enthusiastic
French philosopher has proposed a means of
telegraphing to other worlds whioh throws the
inventions of Gulliver’s philosophers completely
in the shade. An English paper says:
“He wishes to mount a gigantio mirror, capa
ble of being readily moved, and to give flashing
signals of Jupiter or Venus. His theory is that
if these are repeated regularly at given intervals
and in equal numbers of times, the inhabitants
of the planets will come to disoem them, or un
derstand that they mean something and to re
turn them. Should they do this, a code of sig
nals oould manifestly, without much difficulty,
be devised- The proposer of this curious scheme
points out that even now bright spots are occa
sionally seen on some of the planets, and sug
gests they may possibly be similar signals from
the inhabitants of those orbs to each other and
to us. The idea is said to have been discussed
before now, and to have been abandoned; but,
however Impracticable or absurd, it has been
thought worthy of serious attention by the
French Academy of Sciences.”
Fire.—We regret to announoe that a fire broke
out in the gin-house of OoL H. A. Clinch, near
this place, on Wednesday last, about noon,
which, spreading to a saw mill contiguous, en
tirely consumed both buildings in a very short
time, together with a gin and two and half bales
of cotton. It is supposed a match was dropped
into the cotton while being picked, which came
in oantset with the saws of the gin, igniting and
doing the damage. The misfortune of Colonel
O. is deeply lamented by his friends. Loss
about $2000.—Hancock Journal. *

soon discovered he was an intelligent and prac
tical fanner, so I took much pleasure ia show
ing my late improved plows and other imple
ments I had recently got. Among them, I
showed him a large two-horse plow, and told him
I intended to break my red heavy loam lands 12
inches deep with it. He examined the plow very
oarefully and replied, “if you can get six inches
out of that plow you will do welL ” Says I, “do
you not plow your land twelve inches deep in
breaking up at the North ?’’ “No,” says he, “we
can subsoil twelve inches deep, but, where oue
man plows with a turning plow eight inches
deep, nine men do not roach six. Eight inches
is deep plowing, he remarked, and it took the
best of teams and best of plowmen to hold a
plow to it all day.” The “Livingston” plow is
the largest and heaviest turning plow I ever saw
at work, and with three largo mules geared to
it, seven inches was the depth it run; that plow
is the favorite plow with Virginians. It is also
known as the “Bradley plow;” the only objec
tion to it is its very heavy draft
But why plow up land twelve inches deep with
a turning plow ? Such plowing in most of laud
would turn up an unproductive sub-soil and do
more harm than benefit I own and am culti
vating heavy red loam uplands, and I find it the
best plan to turn it over as deep as I can, with
the two-horse Brinly Universal, that plows as
deep and loosens the ground more thoroughly
than the Livingston plow or any other plow I
have tried, and follow after with a sub-soil plow.
By this method, you first turn under all the sur
face grass, weeds and litter, and loosen the
ground deep and thoroughly with a sub-soiler,
preparing the ground not only for thorough and
easy cultivation, but the year after you can go
deeper with the turning plow if you see proper
to do so. And by-the-by, going gradually deep
er and deeper with the turn plow, will be found
more beneficial than going in at once deep. A
very good soil can be made on some lands by
that system, than by turning up the sub-soil
so suddenly. My favorite of all plows is the
Brinly Universal No. 1 O plow, his latest im
provement, and I may add, his perfect plow,
with that plow and oue good horse or mule I can
plow as deep as with any two-horse plow, of
course not cutting as wide a slice, but with three
of the No. 1 G plows I can do more plowing and
better work than with any two-horse plows. My
experience and opinions have been given to the
public in this article, with no intention of criti
cizing Mr. Bivins’ views as regards the plow he
desires introduced in the country. But on the
contrary, such men who are manifesting such
energy and public spirit in behalf of Southern
agricultural progress are to be highly esteemed
and valued by their brother farmers. And
should such a plow be made to do the require
ments Mr. Bivins is trying to havo introduced
amongst us, I would! be pleased to hear the re
sults, whether a success or not.
Respectfully yours,

Mr. J. H. Bivins, . of Taylor county—“for any
turning plow, cutting a furrow twelves inches
deep, of a draft not exceeding the capacity of
two good horses, which will turn and perfectly
shed the soil of certain red upland on my plan
tation. ’ Like Mr. Bivins, I am in want of im
proved agricultural implements adapted to the
necessities of Southern farmers, and have pur
chased and tried various plows and other imple-
ments, but I am of the opinion, if a manufactu
rer ever succeeded in making a plow to come up
to the one Mr. Bivins’ requirements call for, in
my opinion, such a plow to turn upland, red
lands, would be productive of more harm than
good.
In the first place, there cannot be made a two
horse plow, that will cut a furrow twelve inches
deep with two horses. Nothing is more decep
tive than the furrow depth of a turning plow, ex
cept to a moat experienced plowman. Ninemenin
ten seeing snch a plow at work, and running to
the depth of six inches, would believe the plow
was cutting to tho depth of ten or twelve inches.
