THE TELEGRAPH.
HAOON FRIDAY, OCJTOBER 15, 1869.
The Colleges.
An intelligent and influential city correspon
dent sends ns an endorsement of the suggestions
we dropped in regard to timely benefactions for
the Colleges proposing to locate in Macon. He
is far under the marie in basing his calculations
upon an average attendance of 100 students to
each of these colleges. We doubt not it would
be nearer 200, and would bring back to the town
every year twice the amount of money sub
scribed for these institutions. We take this
pecuniary view of the case, because we are
making a pecuniary proposition: and trying to
show that it would, in that particular, be a good
investment.
But when we consider the elevating influence
they would exert upon the social, moral, re
ligions and literary character of the place—what
power, influence and character they would give
it in these particulars, we touch a much more
important, though less tangible inducement for
a wise and timely liberality.
The National Debt—Golden Views.
The Philadelphia Press says that in the first
six months of Grant’s administration the national
debt has been reduced fifty-seven millions, and
by next March will be reduced one hundred
millions, and since the experiment of retrench
ment and integrity has worked so well in six
months, it is fur to infer that the ratio of reduc
tion will be increased: and it is abundantly
probable that in 1876—the centenary year of the
Declaration of American independence—the
whole governmental obligation of the American
people will not be more than one thousand mil
lions.
Indeed, says the Press, one of our shrewdest
statisticians, taking a more analytical view of
the same subject, and supposing the minimum
surplus revenue to remain at §100,000,000 an
nually, counts upon an entire extinguishment of
the debt in a little less than fifteen years. Or,
if the surplus revenue be fixed at $50,000,000
annually, the investment of this amount in a
sinking fond at six per cent, interest will extin
guish the debt in about twenty-three years.
Either of these amounts are easily controlable
now that due economy in expenditure and
prompt collection of the revenues are guaran
teed by faithful officers. Under wise adminis
tration, and a feeling of national seenrity, $115,-
000,000 is reckoned as an average measure of
the annual increase in revenue.
We only know that the Radical party have
had oontrol of the national debt and resources
ever since the end of the war, as well as before,
and there has been little or no aggregate reduc
tion since that time. If they have been able to
reduoe it fifty-seven millions since last March,
that fact displays their extravagance and profli
gacy, for four years before, when, with higher
taxation they made no reduction at alL
But where is the necessity of extinguishing
that debt in fifteen yeara or in seven years if it
can be done ? It is mere cruelty to the people.
To pay it off in twentyjto thirty years by a sys
tem of low taxation and rigid economy would be
far better.
State Executive Committee.
We omit editorial to make room for the pro
ceedings of the Executive Committee of the
State Fair. It will be seen that they have add
ed largely to the premium list—have avowed
the most liberal policy in respect to invitations
—have accepted the Governor’s proposition of
an extra train to Lynchburg to receive and con
vey invited guests, and have appointed a com
mittee to receive them.
Latter from Savannah.
Savannah, Ga, October 6, I860.
Cbrretpondenee of the Telegraph: •' ' r
I arrived here yesterday from Florida, and
but a few moments’ observation convinced me
that all branches of business are in active ope
ration. ■ , ■
Savannah is indeed a live city, and is advanc
ing more rapidly to wealth and commercial im
portance than either of her Southern rivals.
The receipts of cotton thus far are in excess
of the receipts at New Orleans even, and it is
by no means improbable that the receipts for
the current year will show a very rapid im
provement in all that pertains to the great com
mercial mart of your State. From all I can
learn, ootton can be sold as advantageously here
as it can in any market on this side of the At
lantic.
Among the cotton factors here are many skill
ful salesmen, who vie successfully with like
agents in New York and Baltimore. In proof
of this, I have but to recite the fact that the
firm of L. J. Gnilmartin & Co., as I am candid
ly informed, sold a large lot of ootton yesterday
morning for shipment to Europe for a small
fraction more than the same classification sold
in New York.
This significant commercial incident, I think,
should be made publio, in justice to the Savan
nah market, as also to a commercial house which
is gaining rapidly upon the confidence and pat
ronage of the planting community.
. It gives me great pleasure to endorse the gen
eral course of your paper, which has been one
of forbearance and ■ conciliation towards the
Government at Washington. If we would not,
by a scornful supineness, lose what benefit
may be derived from a compliance with the
terms of the reconstruction law, we will continue
to accommodate ourselves to the requirements
of that law. Everybody knows that the law was
not of our choice—that we had no hand in mak
ing it, and that nothing bnt necessity could chal
lenge our acquiescence in it. Bnt when grown
men make up their minds to make a virtue of
necessity and to do what they have to do, it is
certainly better to do it manfully, at once, and
without useless complaints and protests. But I
confess I cannot appreciate such a course on the
part of those who declare that they mean
to obey. The singular attitude occupied
by some of your able cotemporaries in

The Outrage Mill.
Politics are warming np in Pennsylvania and
one result is another creaking revolution of the
Georgia Outrage MflL Forneys Press of the
the rusty old concern, as follows ■
Almost daily we hear of the murder of negroes
in Georgia, and the Macon Union of Friday last
records no less than three. This wholesale
butchery of colored men is not confined to any
particular locality; it is carried on with impu
nity throughout every section of tho State. The
civil authorities wink at the outrages, and juries
refuse to bring in verdicts of guilty if the offen
der is a “ good old rebeL” Such is the state of
affairs to be expected under Democratic rule; at
least it corresponds very nearly with that found
at present in Philadelphia.
We never expect to seo the day when some
murders will not occur among twelve hundred
thousand people, bnt there is not that number
of people on earth in one body politic more qniet
and orderly than Georgia is now. Let the Press
come down to Georgia if he wants to know the
truth.
connection with the subject—the News and the
Republican, of this city, especially,—is that,
while they announce their pnrpose to act in
conformity with tho law, they use stronger ar
guments against that course than aro employed
by those who have not acquiesced in it. I think
they absolutely discredit their own conduct and
hinder other people from following their exam
ple. What merit there may be in such a course
may be apparent to others, bnt it altogether es
capes my ken. We should obey tho laws, set
our faces against all attempts to sow discord and
bad blood between the two races, and await
our redemption in the awakening of a just and
generous sentiment of true Americanism in the
hearts of the people of the North and West. As
to the patience of submission, that highest duty
enjoined upon tho whites, there is no danger. I
I would only counsel that the fortitude of endu
rance should spring from a sense of dignity and
manhood and be the inspiration of a noble duty.
There is a manly obedience that compromises no
principle, and there is a servile obedience that
is bora of fear and self-seeking. If we hope for
redemption from the North we must avow the
last. A sincere spirit of fraternity can never
warm towards us in the hearts of the North if
show ourselves a despicable people.
I think, Messrs. Editors, we should all give
some attention to matters connected with the
immediate development of our industrial re
sources, and the press should frequently urge
upon its readers the propriety of engaging to a
much greater degree in manufactures of all
kinds, and portray likewise the many advan
tages possessed by Georgia for engaging suc
cessfully in that branch of industry. The con
version of cotton by manufacturers into the
plainest, commonest and cheapest cloth doubt
less trebles and quadruples its value. It only
requires one third, as I am informed, as many
hands to manufacture it as it does to raise a cer
tain amount of cotton. As Georgia raises the
raw material in abundance, if her people act
infant factories in your State are maiangvTli^®
cloth and yam cheaper than in New England?
The Northern merchants buy the cloth and yams
in Georgia, chip them North and then sell them
at a profit to Southern merchants. What I have
said of cotton applies to factories of all kinds.
It is the duty of the people of the South to en
courage and patronize factories which are es
tablished in the Sonth. Money should not be
sent off to benefit other communities when it
can be expended for the same articles at home.
A small amount of money kept in the community
will pay hundreds of debts and relieve hundreds
of people. Money sent abroad is so much loss
to the community.
The municipal election takes place on Mon
day next, and will result in the triumph of the
Conservative or Scriven ticket, almost without
a contest. Savannah has been fortunate in her
municipal and commercial career since the war.

Moina Cotton Seed.
Mr. Eden Taylor offers for salo a limited sup
ply of the celebrated Moina cotton seed, which
may be had of J. Collins & Son, Macon. This
seed, we think, has become the favorite of all
fine upland cottons in this section.
System - atiq Benevolence.—The Hebrews
and Quakers, says the New York Times, have
the most systematic arrangements for relieving
their poor. Every Jewish synagogue has a com
mittee of its most respectable members, whose
business it is to become acquainted with the
condition of every Hebrew in their district, and,
if necessary, to afford assistance. The aged
are pensioned, cud the disabled placed in hos
pitals, or famished with regular relief. As a
result the genuine broadbrim and Jndaio nose
is never seen at the world’s back door begging
cold victuals.
Textile Fabrics from Glass.—At an indus
trial exhibition in Vienna a new product of art
is to be seen, consisting of various articles of
spun glass, such as head-dresses, ribbons, brace
lets, caffs, collars, watch chains, ostrich feath
ers and the like. They are the product of a
Parisian manufacturer. The threads are report
ed to be as fine as a spider’s web and as strong
ob wool, bnt more beautiful in appearance. The
thread may be used for knitting or sewing.
Freights.—The Charleston Courier says the
Central Railroad of Georgia gets $2.76 per bale
freight on cotton, “Macon to Savannah, 190
miles,” and the Sonth Carolina Road $1.50,
Colombia to Charleston, 130 miles.
Opelika Grows.—Tho Locomotive says:
Foundations for new bnildings are being laid
every day. Opelika is rising very rapidly from
its ashes, and will soon be pat np with the up
permost.
Good Crop.—Ambros Hodges, of Pine Bluff,
Ark., has realized $1200 from the proceeds of
six acres of broom corn in this season.
Gen. George T. Anderson—“Old Tige,”
he was known in the army—is announced in the
Constitution for Mayor of Atlanta.

FEARFUL CALAMITY. | v /
Boiler Explosion on the Indianapolis Fair
Ground—Nineteen Killed and One Han- 1
dred Neriously Wounded.
Indianapolis, October 1;—A terrible accident
occurred at the State Fair this afternoon. The
boiler of Sinker & Co., of this city, exploded a
few minutes before four o’clock. There was an
immense crowd on the ground at the time of the
accident, and it is difficult to get the particulars.
It is known that twelve persons were instantly
killed^ .and. the number:wounded will probably
reach one hundred.
SECOND DISPATCH.
Indianapolis, October 1.—The accident at the
Fair Grounds this afternoon, re the most heart
rending that has ever occurred in this _ vicinity,
and has cast a gloom over the entire city, The
explosion occurred a few minutes before four
o’clock, when the grounds were crowded with
visitors. .*?-i
The boiler was attached to a saw mill of Sinker
& Co., of this oitv, and had just been fired np
for a test of speed with another sawing machine.
Arrangements were made to take it up as soon
as the trial was over.
So far as can be ascertained to-night, there
were nineteen persons killed. The excitement
and confusion to-night is so great that it is diffi
cult to obtain a eorreot list of the wounded, but
it is Hicnght the number will reach nearly one
hundred.
Most of the dead were removed to W. W.
Weaver’s undertaker’s office, where an inquest
will probably be held to-morrow. Many of the.
bodies are horribly mutilated and burned, and
in some, cases will be almostimpossible for their
friends to recognize them. Many of the most
severely wounded were conveyed to the Indiana
Surgical Institute, the proprietors of which, as
soon as they heard of the accident, tendered the
use of the Institution for the wounded, and
have been untiring in their efforts to alleviate
the sufferings of the wounded.
The scene at the fair ground after the acci
dent was most heartrending. Many of the killed
were torn in fragments.
Of one family, a mother and three children,
the mother was killed and the • two older chil
dren badly scalded, while tho youngest was un
hurt. A gentleman and lady walking together,
the gentleman was killed and the lady unhurt.
Everything is being done to alleviate the
sufferings of the wounded that can be done. It
is thought that several more of them will die.
The receipts of the Fair to-morrow will be
given for tho benefit of the wonnded.

Editors 2 degraph: Although I am neither a
Baptist nor Presbyterian, still, as a citizen and
tax-payer, I respond most heartily to your arti
cle in the Telegraph of yesterday, and say ditto
Mr. Brick. Let ns have in onr midst, by all
means, not only the Mercer and Oglethorpe Col
leges, bnt if the Roman Catholics, Methodists
and Episcopalians will each establish a college
here, let tho city give $50,000 to each of them,

If we ever intend to reap the benefits which
should inure to her by means of her being the
geographical and railroad centre of the State, it
is time onr city authorities should wake up from
their supineness and inaction and go to work
with more zeal and extended ideas as to the
city.
The system of railroads for Macon is now
well-nigh complete, and if the City Council
could only catch and actonsomeof the inspiration
which caused their predecessors to project and
encourage these works, then, indeed, could we
feel assured that the fortunes of Macon will be
all she is entitled to; but continue the present
system of contracted views and inaction, the
“penny-wise and pound-foolish” policy, and we
shall be outstripped in the race, and notwith
standing all onr material advantages, left by the
wayside. ■ V ;' * • - ‘
The two colleges proposed would doubtless
bring each one hundred young men to be edu
cated ; these would spend annually at least five
hundred dollars each, on an average, to say no
thing of the amount spent by their parents and
friends when visiting the city at the commence
ments and other times, nor of the increased
population so caused by the removal of the pro
fessors, their families and other attaches of the
colleges; so that each year the hundred thou
sand dollars will be returned to the merchants,
mechanics, and other business men of Macon.
This will enable all the more easily to pay their
taxes, even should they have to be increased
somewhat; for one hundred thousand dollars, or
any other sum, expended here must permeate
and benefit all classes—as well the poor as the
rich—as well the colored as the white man.
I have, Messrs. Editors, very hurriedly point
ed out some of the advantages of having in Ma
con all the colleges or other publio institutions
we can, leaving out of sight the duty of all to
aid religion and education.
I trust the question will be agitated, and,
above all, that the City Council will act at once,
for we are told the gods help those who help
themselves. Surely it is time Macon should, in
good earnest, put her shoulder to the wheel and
do all that can be done, not only to advance her
interests in a mere business and commercial
point of view, but whatever else will adorn our
city and make it attractive and pleasant to dwell
in- W.

Let Us Understand.
The Atlanta Constitution of the 7th, correcting
the outgivings of a Tribune correspondent upon
Georgia politics, which we reprinted some days
ago, says:
It mistakes about the Georgia Democratic
Committee. That body did not meet to announce
a policy about reseating the negroes, but simply
to discuss the election of Congressmen. There
was not tho slightest bluster brought to bear on
them from the Ben “Hill-Toombs faction,” nor
from any other source.
But the material point in the statement of the
Tribune was this:
The Democratic State Committee, which lately
met in Atlanta, convened to decide what policy
shall be adopted on the question of reseating the
colored members. The Committee is understood
5"" ‘‘-WKlmouS in the
ctum of the State Supreme Court, etc.
Is this statement true? The question is one
of much interest to the people, and it is one of
particular interest to ns, because the Telegraph
has been very acrimoriously assailed for taking
position upon that subject antagonistic to the
views of tho people and to the attitude of the
Democratic party in Georgia.
The Louisville Convention.
The New York Times, of last Monday, says:
The Southern Commercial Convention, to he
held in Louisville next week, promises to he
one of the largest and most successful assem
blages of the kind ever held in this country.
All the great centres of trade will be fully rep
resented, and delegations have been appointed
by the Governors of all the leading States in
the Union. The published list of names shows
that the delegates include a large number of
men roted for their liberality, their great ex
perience and their widely extended influence
in commercial affairs. The officers of many
of tho Southern Railroads, appreciating the
importance of the gathering, as affecting their
own interests, announce their intention to pass
free both ways members of the Convention; and
several Northern roads have signified their will
ingness to return free, on certificate of the
President of the Convention, the members who
pass over their lines. Although the Conven
tion is called “Southern,” the large number of
delegates from the North and Northwest ought
to destroy any possibility of its being sectional
in its character. Governor Merrill, of Iowa, in
a letter to tire delegates from his State, says
that it is to meet in one of the central cities of
the Union in order that it maybe convenient
for the delegates from all the States, and he
adds that while it is especially assembled to
consider subjects having reference to the re
suscitation of the wealth-producing interests of
the southern part of the Republic, so greatly
prostrated during the war, it is avowedly con
voked in the spirit of conciliation and unity,
and of honest devotion to the public good.

The Suez Canal.
From the New York Herald.]
A dispatch from Alexandria informs ns that
M. Lesseps has passed through the Suez Oannl,
in a steamer, from Port Said to Suez—that is,
from the Mediterranean to the Red Sea—in fif
teen hours. It is impossible to refuse to admit
that M. Lesseps has accomplished one of the
greatest wonders of this, or, indeed, of any age.
The world laughed at him when he commenced
his undertaking. It was an impossibility; it
never could be accomplished. It was an old
thought but it never was a fact. The idea was
ns old as, nav, older, than the Pharoahs; but
the sands of the desert had in every instance
proved stronger than man.
Such was the language common at tho time
the canal was commenced. Such has been the
language held by many in spite of visible pro
gress and demonstrated success. Steadily M.
Lesseps has kept at tho work. Ho has found
money and men, in spite of all detractors, to
carry on tho work. He has exhausted the re
sources of art to find machinery suited to great
emergencies. He has made nature herself his
handmaid. "Where no stone was to be had, he
has taken lessons from the monuments of the
past and has converted the deep heavy sub-soil
into material which may prove as enduring as
marble or granite. The two seas have actually
met and kissed each other, and there has been
no deluge. '■ • > -
On the contrary, a little steamer, with the
engineer on board, has sailed from sea to sea in
fifteen hours. It is a triumph to M. Lesseps;
it is a triumph to French engineering; it is a
triumph to modem science. We may now take
it for granted that the opening of the canal to
wards the close of the year will be a complete
success. In spite of the Sultan, the dream of
the Greek conqueror of the world will be real
ized. Alexandria will become one of the grand
est centres of commerce. It will do more than
recover all tHe'splendor and prosperity which it’
lost by the discovery of Vasco de Gama. Trade
will revert to its. ancient channels. The cape
will sink into decay. The coast of the Medit-
terranean will bristle with large and flourishing
cities. A voyage from New York, from Amster
dam, from Liverpool, from Marseilles to India
and the far East will he accomplished in fewer
weeks via the Suez Canal than months via the
the Cape of Good Hope.
It will multiply largely the means of commu
nication and will enormously increase trade.
Egypt, in fact, will recover more than her ancient
importance; she will again become the seat of
the empire. The canal will attract Europeans
and even Americans to its banks, the world’s
wenlth will find a new outlet, and it null not be
wonderful if the ruler of Egypt, whoever he may
bo, soon dictates terms to the Turk. The troth
is, the Suez Canal will reclaim Egypt from bar
barism, Civilization by it, lays claim to the
land of the Pharaohs, one of tho first and grand
est cradles of the race, and through it rushes to
develop the mighty resources of Asia. It is a
grand success, and we must rejoice in it. But
it is also a great counter stroke to our Pacifio
Railroad. Wo have our isthmus. We must cut
it out or lag behind. We are nearer Asia than
any of the commercial nations of Europe; but
we lose our opportunity so long as the trade of
the Atlantic States must seek Asia'round Cape
Horn. Let us cut the isthmus at onoe. Let us
have bur Darien Canal Tons this isthe lesson.

The grape culture is destined to bo one of the

This reminds one of Brittany. Who knows

that, in time, the grape will be second only to
cotton in producing the revennes of the coun
try. : . 1 ' .

Virginia legislature.
Richmond, October 8 Both Houses of the Leg
islature to-day ratified the fourteenth and fifteenth
amendments. In the House there were only six
votes againBt them, and in the Senate only four
against the fourteenth, and two against the fif
teenth, one of the latter being a colored Republican
Senator,who declined voting because the Legislature
is illegal.
The Legislature, by joint resolntion, then ad
journed till October 18th.
In the House, an amendment to the bill passing
the fifteenth amendment, making it take effect on
and after the admission of the State to the Union,
received only five votes.
In the same body a resolution was offered that, in
view of the doubts expressed about the legality of
thin Legislature, it will, after admission to the
Union, re-enact the fourteenth and fifteenth amend
ments. The resolution was referred.
In the Senate to-day, before adjournment, a re
solution was offered pledging the re-enactment of
tho two amendments, after the admission of the
State to the Union, and it was pending when the
Senate adjourned. It was opposed by a Conaerva-
t ive Senator, as casting donut on the already pledged
faith of Virginia.
The Printee8 Again.—The Typographical

submission to the behests of any combination
of men, inside or outside of the office, relating
to its administration. Holding myself respon
sible only to the government' for my steward
ship, I cannot respect any attempt outside of
the Congress of the United States to interfere

Trade in New York.
The Times of the 4th says:
The fall trade isuponus with a brisk beginning
and bright prospects. This is a cheery fact, and
more than an offset, perhaps, for the anxiety
and gloom which the Wall street storm has
brought to monetary circles. Save the drygoods
trade, which is affected through the price of cot
ton, by the fluctuations of gold, no branch of
business seems to have felt the financial flurry.
The Southern trade is reported as “trebled”
over I860; and the particulars we present else
where of the demand in various branches, show
that both the South and West are already taking
a great many goods from our merchants. It is
noteworthy also that a better class of goods, in
general, is called for at tho South. This happy
revival of trade will trouble nobody but the
ebronio croakers, who, however, will very likely
come out as optimists, and say “ I told yon so.”
Sickles’ Indignity to Spain.—A Washington
special of the 3d instant to tho Charleston News
thus describes the dispatch of Minister Sickles
that gave so much dissatisfaction to the Spanish
government:
The State Department has received official
dispatches indorsing the text of Sickles’ famous
note to the Spanish government, concerning the
purport of which there has been so much specu
lation of late in the newspapers.
The document proves to be quite as threaten
ing in its character as it was asserted to be in
the cable telegram. It declares that the Spanish
cause in Cuba is hopeless; that the Spanish
treasury is depleted; that the timo is close at
hand when the government of the United States
must succumb to popular opinion here and rec
ognize the independence of Cuba.
Minister SickleB adds that the pending policy
is an offer of negotiation with a view of ascer
taining the real wishes of tho Cuban people as
whether they desire independence, annexation
to the Union, or to remain a Spanish dependen
cy. This government, he says, is willing to pur
chase Cuba for a sum of money hereafter to be
agreed upon, and he claims to be instructed by
President Grant to insist that Spain must pros
ecute the war on a humane basis. He concludes
by saying: “I have written frankly, as a soldier
should write to a military power.”
