MACON, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 22, 1869.
Tennessee and Andy Johnson.
A special to the Philadelphia Press says that
in view of the precarious condition of Senator
Browillow’s health, and the prospect of his being
nnable to continue much longer in the Senate,
Emerson Etheridge has made a compact with
Andrew Johnson, whereby the former is to aid
the latter in his Senatorial aspirations, with the
understanding that when Brownlow dies, John
son will help to elect Etheridge as his successor.
The writer expresses the opinion that Johnson
will be elected Senator without much opposi
tion.
We are unable to say whether or no there is
any foundation for this statement. The possi
bility of Johnson’s election seems to trouble the
Northern Republican papers. The New York
Times, of the 11th, is quite sarcastic over our
commendations of Mr. Johnson, and particu
larly the Telegraph's admission that he has
♦‘infirmities of temper.” It is possible, in the
event that Johnson goes to the Senate, he may
furnish evidence of that fact.
A Pedoum Cork Chop.—Mr. Wm. C. Butler,
living in the northwest comer of Jones county,
near Cornucopia or “Grab All,” as Butt’s map
hath it, tells us that be cleared up, last Spring,
an acre and a half of creek bottom which had a
great depth of alluvium-and nlantAd it with Ten
nessee white com, in three feet rows, about
eight inches apart in the row. The com grew
to the height of seventeen and a half feet, and
he has harvested and stored away from that
patch, ninety bushels of as heavy com as can be
found anywhere. He intends to have the patch
accurately surveyed, and the com carefully
measured in the presence of witnesses, and then
to make application to the State Fair for a pre
mium as the champion of the Brag Com Acre.
If anybody can beat it, we wait to hear from
him.
By the Skin of Their Teeth.
Pennsplvania and Ohio have been carried for
the Radicals by the most meager majorities. In
the latter they boast of ten thousand, which, if
true, is very little in nearly 600,000 votes. In
Pennsylvania, the Press claims 2300, while the
press association says the result is very doubt
ful. Two thousand majority in 700,000 votes is
about as little as can be. These results speak
an awful warning. They tell the Radicals the
people are tired with this everlasting pounding
of the South and want the war closed up and
peace proclaimed.
Louisville Convention.
Hon. Millard Fillmore has been elected Presi
dent, and Horn Thomas Hardeman is Vice
President from Georgia. There is a large at
tendance from this State and nearly every State
in the Union is represented. The Georgia dele
gation elected Varney Gaskell as their Chair
man. A good deal of jealousy seems to have
been created by the welcoming speech of Gov.
Stevenson of Kentucky, in which he expressed
the hope that Norfolk would be the port of en
try for the first line of steamers.
Wheeled Vehicles.
The establishment of DeLoache & Co., in
Macon, is one of the largest in the country and
abounds with almostevery description of wheeled
vehicle known in these fancy times. From nn-
. merous patterns of the family carriage to that
antipode the one-seated sulky of the bachelor,
■ old or young, the ownership whereof is notice
to the world that the rider means to travel
through the world alone, every class of people
can suit itself out of the resources of the estab
lishment—provided a lively trade does not clean
them ont faster than they can be replenished.
Notice to Dray Owners.
The attention of parties draying in Macon is
directed to the application of the Central Rail
road Company for bids to dray freight from the
depot of that Company to consignees. The
Railroad has determined hereafter to deliver all
its freight withont additional charge.
Fbeights.—The pressure of freight upon the
railroads leading into Macon is now unprece
dented. "We heard a gentleman say yesterday
that the Central was blocked up with freight and
could hardly relieve herself with a doable track.
Goods accumulate from steamer to steamer and
the deliveries of one are not cleared away in
time for the next
Seed Wheat and Crimson Clover.—Wo have
from Messrs. Harris, Clay & Co., comer of
. . Cherry and Third streets, Macon, a package of
tho popular crimson olover seed imported from
• Italy and cultivated last year with great success.
It is a valuable annual grass for fodder. Also,
a package of choice seed wheat—name of the
• variety not stated—but a very fine grain. Both
may be had as abovo.
The Laboratory.—Wo learn from an advertiso-
• ment forwarded from Savannah to tho “Georgia
l State Fair Bulletin,” by U. S. Marshal W. H. Smyth,
that the Laboratory bnilding, together with tho 115
acresof ground upon which it stands, will be offered
for sale on the first Tuesday in December next.
j: Old Spain ia going into convulsions. Civil
* liberty is there taking the form of a battle royal
and is to bo inculcated by cannon and bayonet
- We don’t look for quiet in Spain for a long time.
The Great Sensation.—We publish else
where, extracts from onr Cuthbert and Enfaula
exchanges, in regard to the “volcano” in the
'■ vicinity of Lumpkin—from which it wonld seem
r that village is bonndto have a sensation of some
kind, if it can't have a railroad. Parties living
. a few miles west of this city assert positively
that they heard the explosion and felt a slight
shock at the time spoken of by these papers.
We understand parties have gone to “ look
u into the thing,” and we will report farther in onr
c . next—Amerieus Courier.
. ' Encouraging.—In conversation with a firm
who have advanced largely on crops, in the way
of fertilizers, we were glad to hear that farmers
bad surpassed all expectations and were ahead
of time in meeting their paper. Although it had
several weeks to ran, they had been already
paid*ovcr §10,000 by those who had sold their
crop. AH that is necessary for persons to insure
good credit is to meet their obligations prompt
ly. We hope onr planters will make judicious
use of their money this season and pay for their
fertilizer, thereby saving ruinous rate ofVnter-

The failure of Legrand Lockwood, tho noted
New York banker, is everywhere regretted, and
a host of friends offer-him assistance. His
house and grounds at Norwalk, Conn., are val
ued, in their incomplete state, at §800,000, and
it was his intention to expend more than a mil
lion upon them. The owner's chamber is fur
nished with elaborately inlaid rosewood, the
bedstead canopied with green forming a frame
work of gold and jet. Attached are a dressing
room and an oratory, the latter frescoed in imi
tation of fluted white satim the windows hung
with Persian fabrics, an"the ceiling in rose
drab and gold with a dome of sky-blue studded
with stars.
Sensible Conclusion*.—-The Erie and Sosqne-
hanna Railroad fight has come to an amicable
end, the former road leasing the Susquehanna
property for a period of 99 years, on terms ac
ceptable to the stockholders. It looks now as
if the fight originated from a desire of certain
leading parties to operate in Susquehanna stocks.

The Sooth in New Yorlc.
We desire to invite the attention of the reader
to a preface of a general and elaborate market
review by the New York Tribune of the 11th,
which will be found, somewhere on the outside
of this edition of the Txlegbath. It is so fall
and grand a recognition of the extraordinary re
cuperative power and financial and commercial
value of the Southern States, that it deserves
preservation as a record, and incorporation into
history as a remarkable and conclusive testimo
nial on these points by the great leading news
paper exponent of a policy which thus far has
proved most Inimical to the temper, welfare and
productive power of this section.
Never in onr whole history have more extra
ordinary concessions been made to the value of
the South. Our trade is declared to be the
“salvation of New York this fall." bur pro
ducts “fill the coffers of the merchants of Man
hattan and spread their beneficial influence
throughout the world.” Southern trade, it is
declared, “must continue to be the mainstay of
mercantile prosperity in New York.” The
Great West, with her teeming population and
enormous bread crops, is overcast with financial
embarrassment, and is but a brake upon the
wheels of trade. The South oils the wheels and
mnst hereafter monopolize the greater part of
the attention of the shrewd Northern trader.
Attention is also directed to the extraordinary
recuperative power of this section, by which, in
the course of a few years, we have emerged
from universal insolvency ana ram uj a cunai-
uon ot comparative wealth which admits of snch
satisfactory trade intercourse, and are now add
ing three hundred millions annually to the wealth
of the world in a single crop.
These remarkable concessions from the New
York Tribune suggest many valuable inferences,
to two or three of which we will briefly allnde:
1. A country in the condition described—re
cuperating so fast—affording so much more safe
and valuable trade than the West with more than
donble onr population and wealth, and yearly
making such extraordinary additions to her own
and the national wealth, cannot, in the very na
ture of things, be the prey of disorder, lawless
ness and violence, as the Radicals represent To
assert the contrary is to war npon common
sense, reason and universal experience. So few
people, to produce so much, mnst be universally
and diligently at work. There mnst be a general
condition of profound peace, quiet and order-
The very first effect of popular disquiet and tur
bulence is the neglect of crops and field labor;
and when yon admit that good crops are made,
yon admit, at the same breath, that the people
are at home—at work, and no public disorder to
any considerable extent can possibly exist. No
argument is necessary to establish so plain and
self-evident a proposition. Therefore the mass
of representations to the contrary must be fraud
ulent
2. A country which is adding to its own and
the publio wealth with snch rapidity as to chal
lenge universal admiration and distance all
competition by other sections, shonid not be
meddled with. “ Leave well enough alone,” is
on old adago, as trite as true; and how can the
Radicals justify their pertinacious interference
•with the Cotton States, while, at the same time,
they admit that we are giving unexampled evi
dence of thrift and power in all the achieve
ments of an orderly, stable and prosperous so
cial condition. "What excuse can they render
for tinkering and fussing with a condition
which, by their own showing, cannot be im
proved—and is in fact very surprising and won
derful—showing results equally valuable and
important to themselves and us ?
3. These concessions of the Tribune, which
are bound to attract tho notice of the whole
ontside world, clearly indicate that future of the
Sonth, which, in a hopeful spirit, we have often
tried to point out to onr readers. A country
capable of doing so much, under such adverse
circumstances, has an assured future before it.
It is bound to be a popular country. With
slavery—tho bete noir of modem civilization,
gone—and the animosities and asperities en
gendered by the war and long previous contro
versy rapidly abating and mollifying, tho South
ern section is destined to a very rapid rise in
the estimation of all other sections of the
Union. In a very short time she will be, by
far, the most popular and best esteemed section
of the Union, because, unless we choose to
make ourselves unpopular by an irascible, re
vengeful and sullen demeanor, (which does not
belong to ns) there is nothing to prevent and
everything to promote and facilitate snch a re
sult.
Onr trade and produce being more valuable
than those of any other section, and compre
hending all other sections—the East, Middle,
West and Northwest—we shall conciliate esteem
by valuable service, and the demands of trade,
as well as the many other inducements offered
by our mild climate to valetudinarians and
pleasure-seekers, as well as by our vast natural
wealth to capitalists and men of business, will
shortly bring to ns a more intimate intercourse
with the other sections of tho Union than ex
ists between them and the others.
Is not this clear ? And ought wo not to take
a timely and sensible view of the great lever
age these advantages give ns as a people ? Re
member that, having tried to get ont of the
Union and fonnd ourselves nnable to do it, we
lost all political positionin it, and are now total
ly disarmed and powerless. We have our politi
cal position to regain, or remain forever de
fenceless and dependent npon the forbearance
of the other sections. Now, hero are the grand
facilities in our hands to re-establish our politi
cal influence and power, and we shall bo much
at fault, if we permit a testy and resentful
humor, (howovernatnral)tolead us into thwart
ing and counteracting all those influences which
will otherwise re-establish onr power in the
Union, if we let them work ont their natural re
sults.
This is the reason why the Telegraph so ear
nestly advises and entreats the people and the
press to a calm and conciliatory demeanor—to
forbear threatening, abnse and vituperation and
give free. 6copo to the harmonizing influences
now at work. This counsel is denounced as
servility and toadyism by unreflecting men who
cannot or will not see that the grand, all-impor
tant thing for the South is to regain her politi
cal power in the Union, and that she cannot do
it until sectional animosity is disarmed and good
will takes the place of war’s hatreds.- If wd will
act with judgment the South will, in less than
ten years, be more powerful in tho Union than
she ever was before. She will hold the balances
between the WeBt and tho other sections, and
in this way will virtually control the whole Gov
ernment, and can perhaps bring it back to the
principles of the Virginia Fathers; and her-
glorious career of political Influence and power,
unfettered by tho reproach of slavery, which
was the grand obstacle in our political path,
will offer the brightest and proudest opportuni
ties to the patriotic statemanship of her sons to
immortalize themselves by genuine public ser
vice to a common country.
Is it' not strange that so * transparent a future
as this cannot be seen and embracedby onr states
men, and that we should jeopardize or hinder it
by the want of that forbearance, moderation and
self-control, so essential to people in our pres
ent defenceless position ? Let every Southern
er, who has any influence over the coarse of
events, assist in restraining the heedless impet
uosity which sacrifices the future for the worse
than Esau’s pottage of raero unavailing bitter
ness of language and empty denunciation. 1
Laytly, in respect to the material future—it
exper
I ai
may be well said that no section of country to
which the words of the Tribune are universally
recognized as applicable, can well over-estimate
the brilliance of her material prospects. Her
progress in population, wealth and every ele
ment of material power, is bat a question of a
very little time. All her property interests are
compelled to be increasing daily in value. We
have but to exercise courage and patience and
the achievements of the future will more than
recompense the pecuniary misfortunes of the
past - il--' I
A Trip Across the Continent.
Macon, Ga., October 14, 1869.
Editors Tdegraphr I herewith honor yon
with brief extracts from a family letter written
by a lady who has recently removed from South
Carolina to San Francisco. They may interest
your readers. Publish them if you think proper:
“We have at last reached onr journey’s end.
We had a delightful trip across ihe continent—
The air of the prairie was exhilarating and
bracing, beyond anything I can conceive of,
and the only disagreeable experience we had
was passing through the dry, alkaline region of
Salt Lake, the great American desert Here,
no moisture or a drop of rain is seen or felt for
months, and the dreariness of the scene is
gloomy beyond comparison; but the grand, bare
Rocky mountains are all the time in view. Not
one green tree or twig, relieving their fearful
desolation, till they were sufficiently distant to
be enchanting, when seen through this wonder
fully clear atmosphere.
Taken altogether, this trip over the Pacific
Railroad is one of the most delightful in the
world; because tt jvreeonta such varied and in
creasing interest in the scenery and the country
through which it passes. For three hundred
miles it traverses the fertile and beautifulprai
ries of Nebraska and Iowa—then the treeless
plains, rising gradually to the table lania—and
then the mountain plateaus, until we riach the
altitude of 8000 feet above the sea share. The
wonder is, yon are rising at the rate of 12 feet a
mile, and are not aware of it, except ia the feel
ing of a fresher life and a delicious conscious
ness that you never breathed so earily before,
never before realized tho intoxicating joy of
mere animal existence. It is a nefe and sweet
jrience.
am nnable to paint to yon the grand and aw
ful soenery of the Sierra Nevada, where for 24
hours we were creeping- along the sides of
mountains into whose yawning chasms we
looked down 4000 feet, andfeltour utter power-
lessness and our entire trait in and dependence
on Almighty protection.
Such a monument of eiterprise and energy
as this Pacific Railroad prisents is far beyond
anything of the present certury.
Here we were dashing at railroad speed
through this vast continent; as to our surround
ings, as luxuriously accommodated as if we had
been sitting in the New Tbrk hotel. We took
Pullman’s palace car all through—during the
day stretched ont npon o)tr sofa seats, as inde
pendent as lords and ladles—no intrusion; for
after onr sleeping rooms were taken at Omaha,
and our complement of passengers completed,
no others were admitted.! At night we took off
onr clothes and went to. bed behind onr silk
damask curtains, os safely and privately en
sconced as if at borne. We bad excellent eating
apartments, and nothing to interfere with our
comfort except the little obtrusive thought,
''Well, we nre paying dear for all this.”
Tho first thing that strikes you in California
is the immense size that everything attains—
men, women, children, fruit, vegetables, flow
ers—and such an abmdance! It just seems to
be a place that God has so blessed, that of his
bounty he hasponredout everything good for
man. An Eden that he just requires man to
inhabit. Everything seen® to me to grow with
out the sweat of man’s brow. We can at anytime
go out and select from 12 to 15 varieties of fruit—
everything wo wish—and compared with which
our Southern fruits are dwarfedspeeimens. One
pear can be divided with five persons, and each
have enough, and oh! the lusciousness is nectar
and ambrosia. They all tell me this is the worst
cf seasons—everything looks dry and parched.
We are told that it has rained here but once
since March, and yet such a yield from the soil!
It is a mystery; I'cannot explain. Oh! how I
wish I could take you all up bodily, and bring
you out here. It is all that I need to make me
completely happy.”
Tennessee Senatorial Election.
Special Dispatch to the Courier-Journal.]
Nashville, Tenn., October 11.—Gov. Senter
was inaugurated to-day. Hi3 address on the
occasion was devoid of- special interest, and
abounds in the usual common-places. His mes
sage to the Legislature will be sent in to
morrow.
The Senatorial fight waxes fiercer than ever.
The Nashville Banner thunders its anathemas
every day at Humble Andy, while the Union
and American, which has recently taken np the
cndgel in his defence, labors in his behalf with
the zeal of a new convert. On tho streets and
in the hotels the absorbing question is, as to
who shall be elected Senator. Betting runs
high, Johnson being about even against the
field. A number of far-seeing anti-Johnson
men assert positively , to-day, that a count of
noses reveals the fact that Andy’s chances are
gone; on tho other hand, tho more zealoas
friends of the Ex-President are just as confi
dent ns ever, contending that he will have a ma
jority on the first ballot.
Tho tactics of the opposition are to have
every Senatorial candidato placed in nomination
on the day of election, so as to absorb a suffi
cient number of votes to leave Andy in tho mi
nority on the first ballot. There are so many
members of the Legislature silent or uncom
mitted on the Senatorial question as to leave
the result of the fight in uncertainty.
East Tennessee Crops.
The Athens Post says of the com, pork and
beef prospects in East Tennesse:
Our information leads us to believe that a full
half crop will be gathered; and a half crop in
East Tennessee means a good deal. It’s a mighty
hard country to exhaust. Even after contend
ing armies haft alternately swept it through
three dreadful years, from tho hills of Carter to
the waters of Chattanooga creek, if one wonld
take the trouble to look round, somebody conld
always be found who had a little produce to
spare. Some few farmers may not have suffi
cient for all their stock and for other wants, but
they have senso enough to sell their more fortu
nate neighbors who have a surplus of corn, and
by that means all the hogs and cattle will be fat
tened, and there is a large number of them.
There is always plenty in Egypt when there is
famine in Palestine. Let our friends south of
us wait awhile. We propose to send thorn a
good deal, of wheat, some corn, and bacon
enough to grease Georgia from the mountains
to the seaboard.
At East IVe Have It.
Some one, as we learn from the Washington
Republican, has invented what is spoken of as
follows:
“Mr. Whipple shows and maintains that with
this apparatus he can get up as mnch steam
power with two gallons of petroleum as is
-usually gotten from a ton of good coal; that is,
he can ran a locomotive or steamship as far and
fast with ono barrel of oil as with fifteen tons
of coal, and with mnch more convenience and
safety; and he guarantees to furnish superior
gas for light at 20 cents per 1000 cnbio feet as
is now afforded at $2 50 to §4,00 per 1000 cubic
feet in onr;cities; End so easily can it be util
ized that almost any hotel or house can be
warmed and lighted with it at from one-fourth
to one-tenth tho cost of the ordinary mode,
while everything is safe and comfortable. It
is admirably adapted to lighting and warming
printing offices and running power presses,
with vastly more pleasure and'economy than is
now the case. The heat and power are en
tirely uniform, while the light is most beautiful
find brilliant.. It can bo used in mills and fac
tories with utmost facility.”
Gas at twenty cental. And running power
presses with'pleasure (1) and . economy. The
Dispatch will soon have this apparatus fixed
up in the basement.-—Richmond‘Dispgtch.
The Burning op Gin Houbes and Cotton.^—With
in tho lost month we havo chronicled the burning of.
not less than three gin houses and largo lots of cot
ton on different plantations, and wo now call atten
tion to the subject in order to admonish planters
that thsy cannot he too vigilant over their gin
houses, aud particularly when their gins are in op
eration. In addition to the danger from sparks
which the rapidly running gin saws sometimes
emit, the danger of having the fruits of a
year’s labor swept away by the hand of some ma
licious and mischievous incendiary is also to be
guarded against, and beneo we say planters, during
the picking and ginning season, shopld be exceed
ingly careful and vigilant.

"While reform leagues advocating free trade,
are formipg in America, a movement in favor
of protection is set on foot in England. . The'
present stagnation of trade is attributed by a
great maiy to the system of free trade, which
England Ipa so vigorously pursued since a num
ber of yearn. Even in Manchester, the cradle
of free trile, this reactionary movement finds
defenders7\ The partisans of protection pretend
that free tnde is only beneficial if established
over all the world; but they assert that England,
being the foremost champion of this principle is
now the losir, as a great many countries still
adhere moraor less to the system of protection.
The wharf of the Admiralty in Woolwich has
been closed ifter an existence of three hundred
years. The sands still employed there amonnt-
ing to two htndred, have been dismissed on the
16 th of Septenber. The first ship built in Wool
wich, after H>nry VI, then ruling over England,
was baptizef “Henry Grace de Dieu.” In the
year 1637, th> “Sovereign of the Seas” was built,
one of ihqJargest vessels of thoso times. She
was armfed with, one hundred and sixty-seven
cannons.
The experimental cruises of the united fleets
of the Channel and Mediterranean did not prove
very satisfactory. The scientific reporters^ of
the English press are unanimous in declaring
that the turret ship “ Monarch" has far excelled
all other vessels, which even by a calm sea conld
not well manage their cannons. The naval cor
respondent of the Times asserts that the “Mon
arch,” as a hostile ship, with her two turrets and
four gigantic guns, would have sunk half the re
maining navy before she could have been si
lenced.
The mail steamer “ Carnatic” bound from
Suez for Bombay, foundered 12 to 14 miles
from the Egyptian, coast. She was freighted
with £40,000 specie and a very valuable cargo,
representing £200,000, The specie and mail
are considered as lost, as the depth, of the sea
forbids any diving operations. Thirty lives were
lost Another maritime disaster is the wreck of
the British vessel “Hamilla-Mitchell.” She was
bound for Shanghai, China, and sunk only 130
miles from the port of her destination, so sud

that the crew had hardly time to take to the
boats. Her cargo consisted of £50,000 specie
and goods representing £150,000.

This measure has caused great discontent, and
almost all the Paris papers have given expres
sion to their bitter feelings aroused by the arbi
trary proceeding of tho government The par
liamentary regime which was announced so
ostentatiously isstill very far from having really
gone into practice. There is a tendency in the
Tuileries to take back singly everything that
has been granted by thegnuch overrated “Sen
ates Consultum.” The Emperor indulges again
in his eqnivoqal policy, making concessions and
playing tho part of a constitutional monarch,
while in his heart he only believes in absolut
ism. Strange rumors are, therefore, circulated
and credited by thousands in Paris, accusing
the government of nothing less than preparing
another coup d’etat.
In the meantime Napoleon intends to surprise
the world by another of those oracles of wisdom
the prophet of which ho was considered for a

The South the Salvation of New York
Trade — Southern Trade Doubled Since
Tji.nI Year - Extraordinary Kecnperatioii—
The South the Main-stay of Mercantile
Prosperity, etc., etc. *
The New York Daily Tribune, of the 11th in
stant, prefaces an extended review of the con
dition of trade in New York and the state of the
markets, with the following, to which we desire
to call the especial attention of the reader
The key-note of the present commercial situ
ation in the great metropolis ia exactly struck
by the significant remark of a leading wholesale
jewoler in Maiden-lane : ,r The Southern trade
has been the salvation of Neie York this fall ;
and certainty the extraordinary increase of
Southern business in New York markets has
given the fall trado of 1869 a volume, and a
soundness unparalleled since the war. Some
observers have ventured to speak of the trade
with the South as trebled since 1868, but this is
unquestionably an exaggeration; although in
many branches, and especially in boots and
shoos, groceries, jewelry, clothing, and dry
goods, moderate estimates place the advance at
from 25 to 75 per cent., with a prospect, in nu
merous instances, of a continued and heavy lato
trade, which will probably bring the aggregate
Southern business of the'season up to twice the
amount of last year.
This indicates a most prosperous and encour
aging state of affairs in the region lately devas
tated by the rude band of war, and a brief re
view of the course of Southern trade since the
close of the rebellion will show that New York
dealers are justified in taking a rosg-colored view
of the situation.
In the fall of 1SG5 the South was so destitute
of supplies that every one engaged in merchan.
dizing made money with a rapidity that enticed
many inexperienced men into attempting a mer
cantile life. In 1866 these ex-planters, profes
sional men, Northern speculators and other no
vices, bought heavy stocks upon small capital,
and flooded the South with more goods than
could be retailed at profitable rates. As a nec
essary consequence, many of this class of deal
ers were compelled to sell out at any price, and
quit a business they did not understand. In
18G7 their successors bought boldly in Septem
ber and October upon the strength of the good
cotton crop of that year, but the sudden fall of
GO or 70 per cent, in the price of the great staple
later in the season npset all their calculations
and entailed a second year of commercial mis
fortune upon the South.
In 1868 another good cotton crop was gath
ered, and of this the Southern people realized
the profits, instead of the speculators who had
carried off the lion’s share the year before. Dis
aster bad taught prudenco and compelled econ
omy, and returning good fortune enabled the
Southerners to re-establish themselves on a
sound and comfortable footing. And now comes
the cotton crop of. I8G9 to swell this tide of pros
perity, to insure plenty, and even luxury, at the
South; to fid the coffers of the merchants of Man
hattan, and to spread its beneficial influence
throughout the civilised world.
In no country but the South, and with no crop
but cotton, can three hundred millions of wealth
be so easily created in a twelve-month ont of the
soil. And while this holds true the Southern
trade must continue the main-stay of mercantile
prosperity in New York.
Not only does the cotton crop this year fur
nish a broad and satisfactory basis for Southern
trade, but the business is almost universally in
good and experienced hands, old merchants who
traded here before the war having taken advan
tage of the bankrupt law, accumulated sufficient
capital for a bnsiness venture, and made their
appearance in New York this fall in unusual
numbers. Caution is also manifested against
overstocking (a fault to which Southern dealers
are especially prone,) the increase in the volume
of trade being due to the greater number of
buyers, rather than to the purchase of heavier in
voices. Few favors are asked in the way of
credit, many dealers paying cash, and the others
giving very satisfactory paper.
In all respects the Southern trade this fall is
excellent, but the same cannot be said of trade
with the West. In New England trade no change
is observed, and in New York and Pennsylvania
a visible improvement is noted in some instan
ces ; but in the West a degree of embarrassment
prevails which delays business,hinders collections
and makes cautious merchants chary of selling
largely except for cash. Recent letters from
Michigan, Wisconsin and Minnesota corroborate
this statement, and attribute the evil mainly to
the action of the farmers in holding back last
year’s produce for a rise. Money is in extreme
demand for moving tho crops, and business,
which has, moreover, been decidedly overdone
in many localities, feels the psessure keenly.
The contrast between the shrewd, but some
times over-reaching, Westerner, and the
liberal, but perhaps prodigal, Southron, is
clearly seen and felt in this state of af
fairs. The latter puts his crop in the market
before it is gathered, and begins distributing its
proceeds before the first bale is packed. The
former holds the produce of his land with a firm
clutch, and would rather embarrass himself and
all his neighbors than ran the risk of losing a
possible profit. Either course may result in
disaster to the agriculturist, but the Southern
style oils the wheels, while the Western plan claps
down the brakes of trade; and now that tho
Sonth, of old the favorite market of New York,
has commenced anew a prosperous career, it
needs no wizard to reveal Vie commercial quarter
for which shrewd merchants will hereafter steer
their course and trim their sails.
mmmi, _ . _
services of the Presbyterian Church on Tuesday
evening last. Dr. Wills, of Macon, preached a
most eloquent and impressive sermon; full of
the unction of fervid piety and breathing a gen
uine spirit of Christian charity and love. One
passage, in particular, was a masterpiece of sub
lime eloquence. What was necessary to bo
saved ? It was not any of the worldly sciences,
nor the literary acquirements or socialisms of
the day. No; though useful in their way and some
times serving a good end, they are not the liv
ing requirements of the soul. Go to the bed
side of the dying man, and ask him what are his
desires. You will see that his soul reaches ont,
above every feeling of fame—above astronomi
cal science—beyond the stars that limit our
visions of space—up into that kingdom of celes
tial joys and beatifio repose Faith and Good
Works, trust in the Redeemer’s power to save
and reliance in his mercy, are the anchors of the
Christian’s hope and salvation.
The learned Doctor has made a very lasting
impression upon all who have heard him, and
his stay among us -will be productive of much
good. Our Presbyterian-friends all speak in the
highest terms of the Doctor, and if it were pos
sible, they wonld say, as Hermione said to the
King of Bohemia: “ If thou will not remain as
our guest, then thon stayest as onr prisoner.”
Miss Carrie Dudley, the accomplished organ
ist, seemed to oxcell all her former efforts. Wes
ley's hymn “There is a fountain filled with
blood” was sung by her with remarkable power
and feeling. The gushing sounds of sacred mel
ody rose higher and higher, till at last they
seemed to cluster around the throne of grace,
and lay the penitent’s song of faith at the Sa
viour’s feet. We have heard many of the lead
ing qneons of song in their favorite roles, and it
is our opinion that Miss Dadley is inferior to
none of them.—Amerieus Republican.

UTAH.
Territorial Fair—Mormon Admission into
tbe Union.
St. Louis, October 10.—A Salt Lake City tel
egram dated October 8 says: “The Territorial
Fair was held here daring the last three days.
There was a fine display of home manufactures,
including wagons and carriages and a large as
sortment of woollen goods. There was a small
display of cereals, as the grasshoppers destroyed
most this season.
The semi-annual Mormon conference opened
on the Gth, and still remains in session. A large
number of people from all parts of the Territory
are here. A meeting of citizens, numbering
over twelve thousand, was held yesterday in the
new Tabernacle. The Hon. L. A. Smith, Brig
ham Young’s counsel, was elected chairman,
and a committee was appointed to draft a memo
rial to Congress, asking the admission of Utah
as a State. The memorial represents that the
petitions sent to Congress in 1856 and 1862, al
though properly presented, were never brought
to a vote.
The memorial claims a precedence of the
other Territories admitted into the Union, with
far less order of government and general re
sources for self-maintenance. Territorial gov
ernment at the best is oppressive, and a relic of
the old colonial form onr fathers threw off be
cause of its injustice, exaction, and tyranny,
particularly the practice of the government ap
pointing officers from distant States who are un
acquainted with the necessities of the people.
The population of Utah is now 150,000, and
they are anxious for self-government.
Raw beef, it is asserted, proves of the great
est benefit as a diet for persons of frail consti
tutions. It is reported that physicians are now
administering to consumptives a diet of finely
chopped raw beef, properly seasoned with salt,
and heated by placing the dish containing it in
boiling water. This food is given also in cases
where the stomach rejects almost every other
form of food. It assimilates rapidly and affords
the best nourishment, while patients learn to
long for it and like it as much as Dx. Kane did
his Arctic dinners of raw seal and walrus.
The Presbyterian Church South has eleven
Synods, fifty-four Presbyteries, eight hundred
and fifty-seven ministers, and fifty-nine licen
tiates; one thousand four hundred and sixty
churches, seventy-nine thousand nine hundred
and sixty-one communicants. Additions during
the year, on examination, four thousand four
hundred and seventy, and by certificate two
thousand seven hundred and ten. The contri
butions for all purposes amounted to seven hun
dred and seventy-four thousand four hundred
dollars. ' '
