The Greorgia "W'eekly Telegraph. •'V the telegraph. 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- est-—Middle Georgian. 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. Having made their “pile,” they cease to quar rel.—N. Y. Commercial Adverti*tr. Mr. Davis is at present in Baltimore. Tho papers of that city say he is in improved health, and 'will leave shortly for Mississippi, there to take up his future residence. . ' 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.

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. Weekly Resume ot Foreign Affairs PE1PAHXD FOR THE GEORGIA TELEGRAPH. Great Beit aw. —A man who had received dan gerous injuries by some accident, was brought to King’s County Hospital in London some time ago. He has been identified now as either Kel ly or Deasy, one of the Fenian prisoners, who were forcibly rescued from the police barracks in Manchester. The polioe keep the bnilding guarded now to prevent another rescue. Dr. Samuel Waldegrave, bishop of Carlisle, died at the age of fifty-two. Colonel Hill has been nominated Governor of New Foundland. The first cargo of new tea from China had ar rived in London by the vessel Thermopylae She had made the voyage from Andjer, Java, in sixty-foui days. "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 denly, at the mouth of the Yangtse-Kiang river, that the crew had hardly time to take to the boats. Her cargo consisted of £50,000 specie and goods representing £150,000. The number of “national” Irish journals has been increased by “The People of Ireland.” The first copy of the paper speaks of “ sham concessions wrung from a government whose high priest is the hangman and the jailor.” •’eance.—The Chamber of Deputies has been convoked on the 29th of November, though the law fixes the 26th of October as the latest term. 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 long time. He will propose a general disarm- ment to the European Powers, and, resigning forever all Napoleonic traditions, proclaim from the steps of the throne that now indeed I!Em pire e'est la pair. All ministerial papers deny the rumor that the Emperor contemplates an early abdication. • The “Jcumal Officiel” publishes tho treaty, concluded .m the 1 6th of June, 1864, between France, Brizil, Haity, Italy and Portugal for establisbin' an international telegraphic line. Gehmaxl—The Prussian Landtag was opened on the 6th tf October. The King,in his speech, declared thit his government wished for peace, but would always defend the integrity of the German enpire. Speaking of international af fairs, he nnntioned that the increase of the ex penditure vould probably necessitate a raising of the taxes. The Crqvn Prince of Prussia will start for Constantinople via Italy, to proceed from there to Egypt wth a view of witnessing the inaugu ration of the Suez canal. ., ' Several mra-of-war have left for Cuba to pro tect German residents in case of a conflict be tween Spain aid the United States.. The Germai Nautical Society will hold a gen eral meeting it Berlin in 1870. "Among the sub jects to be discussed are: the institution of courts of justice at sea, the introduction of a maritime code, and the establishment of an in surance office for sailors of the confederation and regulations with respect to vessels passing each other at sea. The German Society for aiding the ship wrecked has exhibited at Rostook a Monitor life craft, which is capable of bearing from 40 to 00 men though only weighing 500 pounds. . ‘ " Otto Jahn, the author, critic and professor, died in Leipzig, in his 57th year. His disserta tion on Goethe’s “Iphigenie,” his essays on tho theory of musio illustrating ihe works of Men delssohn, Bartholdy and Bclthoven, his. “Lud wig Uhland" and “Mozart” have secured him an eminent position among the writers and thinkers of Germany. The North German Lloyd proposes to estab lish a line of steamers between Bremen and the West Indies, with a view ot bringing about a connection with Venezuela and New Granada. Austria.—Count Beust is traveling without any attendants, thus having for the moment entirely withdrawn from the direction of publio affairs. In the Styrian Landtag Baron Von Hammer Purgstall introduced a resolution to amend the concordats entirely. Bohemia is on the eve of her elections, and the Vienna press complains bitterly of the na tional fanaticism of the Slaves. Verily, it will require all the genius of Count Beust to recon cile these hostile elements to each other nnder the loving scepter of the Habsbnrger. Italv.—Tho Italian Government has con cluded a contract with several eminent German bankers respecting the church estates which are to be sold. Fifteen foreign bishops had already arrived in Rome. It is said that Dnpanloup, the Bishop of Or leans, France, supported by fifty American bishops, will defend tho liberal ideas before the Council.' Spain.—The republican movement is gaining ground in Spain. The expedition of further re inforcements for Cuba was stopped, as tho home of service will, perhaps, require all avail able troops. The telegraphic communication between Madrid and the Southern provinces was interrupted' ' 1 . *■ In tho official gazette a circular is published, instructing the Captain-General of Cuba to treat captured rebels mildly, and to-bring them be fore the ordinary conrts. The Cortes is assembled. The Government has introduced a bill suspending all constitutional libertyuntil the suppression of the insurrection in the South.- Should this bill be passed the re publican deputies will very likely retire from the Cortes. Ex-King Ferdinand of Portugal, and the Duke of Genoa are still • mentioned as candidates for the kingly crown. . i#f The latter," bom Gth of. February, 1854, is a son of the brother of Victor Emanuel, who died 10th, of February, 1855. Prince Thomas of Sa voy, Duke of Genoa, pursues, at present, his studies at the University of Eton, England. It is hardly to be believed that a youth will be able to master the anarchy, which, in truth, requires no ordinary man. ,".7 -'* Switzerland.—The “Congress of liberty and peace” was opened in Lausanne by Victor Hugo. The poet of “Ruy Bias” and “Heraani,” in his opening speech, spoke bombastic nonsense, ex celling everything he has said before. The first condition of peace, he said, was liberation, and to obtain this, a war, the last, would be re quired. Then an inviolable peace for all times to come would be established; there would be qo more armies, no more kings, and what they all desired would be accomplished—the great Continental Republic, the United States of Eu rope !! ! And it is reported that this anti- tyrfinnic harangue , was enthusiastically • ap- plaoded by the august assembly 1 Belgium.—A great international festival of riflemen took place in Liege. Three thousand foreign riflemen bad come, among them thirteen hundred English volunteers, being the repre sentatives of one hnndred and ninety regiments, and nine hundred French National Guards with a complete musio band of sixty ' men. At the banqnet on the third day, King Leopold deliv ered a lengthy speech which met with general approbation. The Ambassadors of Prussia, England and France, as well,as .the Lord Mayor of London, were also present.

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.

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. ' ' Amusement During the Fair,—We announced the other day that Mr. John T. Ford, the eminent stage manager, and well known to the whole coun try, had seemed “Ralston Hall" in this city, for the purpose of affording first class amusement to the public during tho State Agricultural and Mechan ical Fair in November. To give the reader a correct idea of what may be expected from Mr. Ford and his brilliant troupe of artists, we copy the follow ing rather lengthy but well written notice from the Cincinnati Commercial, of Sept. 26th: The Chapman Sisters commence the fourth and last week of their engagement in this city to-mor- The troupe was organized by Mr. 4lm t-aImuh wall Irrmim ir on repeating and repeating it until the prii-l came to believe that it must be exactly like til simply beoauseitwaslike itself, and really ini at last, in the fulness of time, grown almost il posed to resent upon him their tardy disccel —(laughter)—really to resent upon him t'z late discovery—that he was not like it newed laughter.)
