Th.© Greorgia "Weekly Telegraph.. THE TELEGRAPH. HAOON, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 29, 1869. Georgia stale Press Association. At the meeting in Atlanta, the Provisional President was instructed to call s meeting of the Association some time during the progress of the Fair, for the purpose of adopting a Con stitution, electing officers, and hearing the re ports of various committees appointed at the Atlanta meeting. We propose to have this meeting on the second day of the Fair, to-wit: the 17th, in the Council Chamber in Macon, and ifhb objection is made will issue the call for that time. We hope the various committees will have all their reports in readiness so that the work can be done at once. The Corn Crop. The report of the Commissioner of Agricul ture estimates the corn crop of the United States as at least one hundred million bnshels short of last year—that is to say, nine hundred millions of bushels instead of a thousand mil lions, or an average of ten per cent. The na tural effect of so large a deficit will, no donbt, be seriously aggravated by the intervention of speculators, to whom a short crop is as attrac tive as a sore spot is to the flies. The certainty of a rise being established, every speculator will secure as largo a holding as possible,^ ffw* *bs. will add au arSQ/tial tn A natural *£arcity. The business of tho planter who is compelled to buy com should be to make a^early and reasonable -—ugements to secure a supply as he possibly $an. ■ • ■ w ■— Vac Vicils. If we credit Northern dispatches, Mr. John son took his defeat sorely, and for once in his life turned his back upon his foes. One of these telegrams says: Yesterday Johnson was sure of his election, and the summary manner in which lie was de feated to-day,.has wholly unnerved him. On the reception of the news he retired to liis room in the hotel where he resides, and was visible only to his most intimate friends, who called to con dole with him. But even then his privacy was invaded by an impromptu procession halting beneath Ills windows, cheering wildly for the newly-elected Senator, and bearing banners in scribed, “Moses under a Cloud,” The Real Dead Duck.” How about the Pocket Copy of the Con stitution?” “Swingin’ ’round the Circle,” and other mottoes. Well I it is the inevitable fate. All men must come to defeat at last; for if mortal ene mies foil there comes the cold hand of death to pluck tlie laurel from the prondest victor’s brow, and make the hero of a thousand triumphs the subject of a barren commiseration. The Decline of Liberia.—A Liberian newspaper, dated July 28th, declares that the America-Liberian population are passing away. A correspondent in the same journal allows one century for the annihilation of Liberian nation ality, unless the native element lie vigorously incorporated. It seems that during forty years twelve “civilized and evangelized native gen tlemen” have been produced. The equality doctrines of the United States Congress have killed Liberia, and blasted the hopes of “civi- zed and evangelized native gentlemen!” The Information Needed.—A leading planter in Middle Georgia called yesterday to thank us for publishing the full reports of the Negro La bor Convention in Macon—saying that it was just the kind of information needed to enable planters to control their hands, and he begged ns to keep the people posted in regard to all movements among the colored population, re gardless of the clamor of the ignorant, thought less and evil disposed. . When Grant is Course to Georgia.—The papers are circulating the report that President Grant will visit the GeuTgia State Fair. This is a mistake. The President stated to the editor of the Journal, in a private conversation some days since, that ho would not be able to visit the Sonth until, perhaps, very late in the win ter. The visit would be well received by every one, and we trust it will be made.—Alabama Journal. The Virginia Senators.—Tho Baltimore Sun says it is said to have been discovered that the newly elected Senator from Virginia, Mr. John ston, as well as Mr. Gibson, one Of the Repre sentatives from that State, is still laboring under the disabilities imposed by the fourteenth amendment, which was ratified after the pas sage of the act of Congress relieving the disa bilities of Messrs. Johnson and Gibson. Hancock Superior Court.—From tho Jour nal, we learn that Judge Andrews passed sen tence on all the convicted criminals at the re cent term of Hancock Superior Court, as fol lows : On Alfred Cooper, fonnd guilty of volun tary manslaughter, ten years imprisonment in the penitentiary; on the fourteen negroes fonnd guilty of assault with intent to murder, four years; on Thomas O. Jackson, two years. Receipts at the Ports.—The net receipts at all the United States ports for the week end ing Friday, Oct. 22d, are 78,940 bales, .against 67,555 the previous week, and 52,522 the corres ponding week of last year; exports to Great Bri tain 22,520; to continent 10,945; stock on hand and on ship board not yet cleared at all Uaited States ports, 155,955 bales. Swiss Laborers in Griffin.—The Star says Judge Stillwell and Mr. Patterson, of Griffin, brought from New York, a short time since, sev eral Swiss laborers, who are giving great satis faction, and express themselves delighted with their good luck. We expect to have several hun dred here next year. The Earthquake.—All New England was mightily stirred np by the earthquake last Fri day, but no where do we see that it was severe enough to create any serious damage, beyond breaking a good deal of glass and crockery. The shocks lasted about a minute. Bakes Superior Court.—It will be seen that, by an order of Judge Clarke, in another column, Baker Snperior Court has been adjourned over to the 4th Monday in November, in order to give the people an opportunity to attend the Macon State Fair. Mississippi Election.—Judge Dent writes from Mississippi that his canvass of that State leads him to believe that the gubernatorial elec tion will be almost entirely in big favor, and that the colored men will, with few exceptions, vote as directed by their late masters. Eart.y.—The Herald is out very industrious* ly for Judge Chase as candidate for the Presi dency in 1872. That is traveling a long way for a sensation. . Heavy Cotton Receipts.—The cotton receipts yesterday were 850 bales—the heaviest of the season. The sales amounted to 633. Thanksgiving.—Gen. Grant and Gov. Bui- lock have agreed on a day of public thanksgiv ing—to-wit : the 18th day of November next— See proclamation. (n » The Spaniards seem to be in a world of trou ble about getting a king.

Smith, late President of the ^fceiokee Female Institute, as Maori ate editor. Grand Lodge of Georgia. The Annual Communication of the M. W. Grand Lodge of the State of Georgia was open ed in ample form, on yesterday, in the Masonic Hall in this city, and after disposing of a few preliminary matters, the Grand Master, Samuel Lawrence, proceeded to deliver the Annual Ad dress to the body. The reading of this able end luminous paper occupied the space of an honr and secured the most profound and re spectful attention of the large number of repre sentatives convened on the occasion. This highly honored and much beloved officer is a part of the paper. Not one reader in a hundred would detect the apparent error, and the result upon Georgia would be all the same so far as Northern indignation is concerned, ss if she had perpetrated the outrages. An impression is mads of disorder, lawlessness and violence in Georgia which will never be corrected by the Tribune or any other Radical sheet. There is native of South Carolina and is a true type of the abode of an undaunted Democracy—Georgia FROM WASHINGTON. , Washington, October 26 —S. A.

That State has been possessed and Grant and Boutwellaro consulting over the reBigna- fvmhed by the party. She has been made as helpless and miserable and as serviceable to Radicalism as she can be! But Georgia is still BY TELEGRAPH. the intellectual culture and lofty chivalry which have long been illustrated in the history of the people of that proud Commonwealth. He has been a citizen cf Georgia for a period of abont twenty years, and during this time has held the highest offices which Masonry has to confer upon her distinguished and devoted sons. He is, we believe, universally regarded as the most eminent Masonic jurist in the State, and as fairing rank among the brightest Masons in America. His writings on the jurisprudence of the Order evince much learned research and logical discrimination, and are extensively cir culated among the members of the Fraternity. His work on 4 ‘The Moral Design of Masonry” is, by common consent, a chef-d'eutre, and his poem entitled “Vision of Achmed” shows clearly that iha h— •«->» —V «»tho splendid heights of Patba&attd, bill U ia also a magnifi cent exposition and affodtidfa&fo febforoement of the moral duties MtA obligations resting upon all true and accepted Masons. O or worthy Grand Master is a native philanthropist and illustrates beautifully, in his life and conversation, that sublime charity which he theoretically incul cates in his official capacity. He is a devoted and exemplary member of the Protestant Epis copal Church and holds an important office therein, and rumor says he has applied for Deacon's orders from the Bishop of tho Diocese. There wore three points in the address al luded to which struck us with peculiar force: The first point was the pure and noble diction in which it was clothed. The author is obvi ously a master of tbo English language, who puts an idea into every sentence, and makes every word serve to elucidate and enforce it. He seems to despise all tautology and tinsel rhetoric, and to aim, in the expression of his thoughts, at the greatest purity and precision. His style reminds one of the majes tic strength of Milton, and the classical ele gance of Macauley, with much of tho power of condensation that belongs to the profonnder essays of Bacon. As the gentleman in question is a good churchman, we will venture the opin ion that he is conversant with the writings of those celebrated English divines, Jeremy Tay lor, John Tillotson and Isaao Barrow, which all scholars agree in regarding as models of literary excellence. " s The second feature in this finished produc tion, according to our apprehension, is the spirit of goodness, or piety, which pervaded every part of it, and rendered it fragrant as a bank of flowers. It possessed many of the characteristics of a capital sermon, and cannot fail to exert a wholesome and lasting influence on the mind and conscience of the Craft. The speaker distinctly announced the doc trine that Masonry is inseparably connected with religion; and whilst it does not propose to be a substitute for the Gospel, or to teach the peculiar tenets of any religious denomination, that still it earnestly inculcates every precept of the moral law, and that, therefore, no man can carry out the spirit and principles of the Order whose life is not in harmony with tho sublime behests of the Decalogue. If this ex alted view of the subject were nniversallyprev- alent, what a tremendous moral power it would give to the institution! May this millennium of Masonry soon dawn upon all the Lodges in the land. The lost point in this admirable document which specially attracted our attention and af fected our heart, was the beautiful and eloquent tributes paid to the memories and virtues of two deceased Masons which rendered eminent service to the cause in their day and generation. We refer to the Grand Lecturer, George L. Barry, and to the Grand Secretary, Simri Rose. When this noble eulogy was pronounced on their life and labors, the eyes of some melted with emotion, and the cheeks of others were bathed with tears. We should like to reproduce what Grand Master Lawrence said in relation to these de parted worthies, in his polished periods and pa thetic oratory, but as the address will doubtless be published in due time, it would be a pity to mar its beauty by making an extract from it. Prom tie Pew York Tribune, 233. MOB LAW IN GEORGIA. Two Counties In Armed Resistance to Uni ted States Officers—A Call for Troops. Washington, Oct. 22.—Gen. Kryzanowski, Supervisor of Georgia and Florida, reports un der date of October 12, that Jackson and Wash ington counties, in Florida, are under the con trol of an armed mob, which has risen to pre vent the execution of the revenue laws. The leader of this mob is one James P. Caker, who is represented to be a wealthy and influential man. He has threatened Assistant-Assessor Lowe of Marianna with personal violence,and has chal lenged him to fight; and the officer writes to the Supervisor that he can only canvass his district at the hazard of his life. Assessor Wil son writes corroborating his assistant’s state ments. The Collector of Customs at Jackson ville, Florida, J. A. Dockery, writes to Supervi sor Kryzanowski, that the State Tax Collector and liis wife had been brutally murdered in Washington county, adjoining Jackson county, since the 3d instant, and that the Deputy Collec tors and Assistant Assessors of Internal Revenue are in iminent danger. The Supervisor has call ed for troops.—Telegram. The Government will, of course, lose no time in dealing sternly with the ruffians tcho have risen in Georgia against the execution of the revenue laws. They have prefaced their work by mur der, and mean to do worse, unless we teacu them that all the crimes of the decalogue are not to be committed in the Lame of liberty. The assassins who killed seven men in Jackson county, and brutally murdered the State Tax Collector and his wife in Washington county, can offer no plea whatever. Our laws are not murder-provoking, nor are our authorities, and the time has surely come when our Southern States should be pro tected not so much from disloyalty as from ram pant villainy.—Edilional comment in the same number of the Tribune. The foregoing is a strong exhibition of the hostile animus of the radical party of which the Tribune is the leading representative, towards Georgia. The Tribute’s telegram informs him that the “outrages” of which he complains have taken place—not in Georgia, but in Florida— a radical reconstructed State—fully and accep tably reorganized according to the Tribune’s own pattern—seated in Congress and duly re presented and governed by a pack of adventur ers from New York, Maine, Michigan and other Northern or Western States. Georgia has had no more interest or concern in those outrages than she had in the butchery of the Wall street gold bulls ; but nevertheless the Tribune heads this telegram “Mob Law in Georgia /” and as proof that this was hardly mere inadvertence, other editors in quite another part of the same paper assail Georgia with great fury for these alleged crimes, and call upon the Government to deal sternly with the Georgia ruffians. The philosophy of this extraordinary proceed ing is apparent The telegram could not readily be changed, although such tactics have been re sorted to by the Radical prints for the same pur pose ; but the object could just as well be ac- is still unreconstructed and can be dealt with so os, perhaps, to break her into the traoes *f Rad icalism. : Alabama State Fair. The Montgomery Advertiser of the 21th re prints a corrected list of premiums to be,award- ed at the Alabama State Fair to be held i* Mont gomery on the 23d of November and subsequent days. The list covers over five columns of the Advertiser and amounts, in the aggregtte, to upwards of five thousand dollars. The State Fair of Alabama is permanently lo cated on grounds belonging to the Society and distant about three miles from the city of Mont gomery. The Fair is under the management of an Executive Committee of Fourteen, and of these fourteen, ten are leading, active, wealthy and influential citizens of Montgom er y Getrnty— a wise disn^u: - i^wer-and rospon»u.;n lY wnere they are needed and must mainly be exer cised. The Secretary and the Treasurer of tho Society also reside in Montgomery. The Premium List is divided into the follow ing departments and classifications, to-wit: Department No. 7—Class 1.

The people of Gadsden county, Florida, Held an Agricultural Pic-Nic, on the 14th instant, in a beautiful grove near Atapulgus creek. The exercises were opened by prayer, which was fol lowed by an agricultural address by Rev. C. D. Campbell. Then a glorious dinner was served up, which was succeeded by a handsome exhibi tion of the trophies of the county from form, garden, horse lot, fowl yard and the industry of the domestic circle, which were examined and talked over at length. All the belles and beaux were there and they say they had a fine time. We can readily imagine that justsuch gather ings in every county of the South might be at tended with vast benefit to the people in diffus ing practical and valuable ideas upon farming and domestic economy—infusing a spirit of emu lation among the people—and promoting public spirit, sociability and friendliness. We tlinik Gadsden bas started a valuable idea. The Quincy Monitor says of the pic-nic: There was a very large attendance and all seemed to enjoy themseves. We noticed among those present a delegation from our neighboring town, Bainbridge, with a fair representation of the beauty of that place. The oration was a fine, practical one, and received with applause. A communication in another column gives a full and interesting account of the pic-nic, to which we refer our readers, deeming it unnecessaiy to attempt to give it further justice. We think the Agricultural Association should feel proud of their first effort. Let us have an annual Agricultural Fair. Cotton Statistics. We clip the following from the New York Mer cantile Journal of the 21st: The receipts at the ports for the week amount to 70,000 bales, against 53,000 same week last year; and the aggregate since September 1st is now 278,000, ageinst 198,000 same time in 1868. The following is a statement of the exports of cotton from the 1st of September, and the stock on hand, as compared with the two previous years: 1869. 1868. 1867.

There will be no regular Cabinet to-day as Grant departs northward at noon. Revenue to-day $289,000. Geo. Butler, Benjamin’s nephew, has been ap pointed Consul-General to British India. His head quarters are at Calcutta. Delano decides that vintners selling their own products at the place of manufacture aro not sub ject to the special liquor tax. The President has pardoned Anderson, Patterson and Elsom, sent from Richmond to the Albany peni tentiary for conspiracy to defraud the revenue. Grant will bo absent until Saturday. The brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers in the United States and Canada, and nearly every State and province, represented lately in the session at Baltimore, visited Grant, who said, - in reply to a speech; “Geiitlenleii—I am very glad to meet you as the representative daB8 of ono of the branches of in dustry of our country, which does more towards its development than any other. Without the aid of rail roads, the interior of bo vast a country as we have could bo made of but very little use. You have my -Lnst wishes, geuUenmn, lor your success and pros perity.” Tho Court took no action in the Yeiger case to day, tho Attorney-General and Yerger’s counsel not having agreed upon the manner of proceednre. Washington, October 27.—Revenue to day $340,- 000. Mr. Ewing is fully restored to health. Tho conscience fund in the Treasury amounts to $113,000. The Paraguayan Minister, McMahon, thinks Lo pez’s position is stronger than ever before, and that tho announcement by the allies, of tho war being over, is a mere pretext for withdrawing troops. ' Virginia lias paid $2,194,000 revenue on tobacco for the seven months ending with September. Chief Jostico Chase said, in the Supremo Court to-day, that tho question of jurisdiction In the Yer- ger case having been decided, the cflunsel could make a motion for a writ of habeas corptis whenevo they thought proper. THE TOBACCO CROP-HEAVY; FALLING OFF. Washington, October 27.—A report received at the Agricultural Department indicates ^falling off in the tobacco crop of one-third in Virginia and Mary land, and one-tenth in Kentucky and tie West. The estimated falling off in tho West will be largely in creased by early killing frosts, which have badly damaged the uncured tobacco- Tbo bulk of tho crop has been saved. Tho Democrats of California elected eleven out of fourteen District Judges. Belknap, the new Secretary of War left Keokuk yesterday for Washington. Assistant Treasurer Butterfield had intimations from both Grant and Boutwell that his resignation w*« desired- Grant wants a solid business man in that place. A widely circulated I'epdl-t that Justice Swayne dissented from the Court’s opinion in the Yerger habeas corpus case, is incorrect. Justice Swayne anhouncea from his seat that Justice Miller, who was absent, dissented, which led to the mistake. The papers publish a reported interview between the President and Senator Thayer, of Nebraska, on the subject of the Mississippi election, from which it appears that the President supports Alcorn. Tobacco is now paying the bulk of tho Internal Revenue. Fisher, Commissioner of Patents, attends the Macon, Ga., Fair; . IMPORTANT DECISION. New York, October 26. — The celebrated cotton case, the United States vs. Vernon K. Stevenson, was decided to-day in favor of Stevenson, the Judge holding that tho cotton in question never belonged to the Confederate Government, and, instead of being shipped to New York in violation of an act of Congress, was shipped from a Confederate port to a foreign country, in violation of the blockade of Wilmington; but this could not change title, or work forfeiture to the United States, unless seized as prize of war. OUTRAGE IN WARRENTON. Augusta, October 26.—Edward Cody, a citizen of Warren ton, Warren county, was taken from his house last night by a party of federal soldiers.— While being carried out of town Cody escaped with two gunshot wounds. The Sheriff reported the out rage to the military authorities. Tho affair creates much ill feeling. TRIAD OF TIIE OFFICERS OF THE CUBA. Wilmington, October 26.—Tho case of the officers of the Cuba was resumed before the Commissioner today. Mr. Davis, for defence, wanted to intro duce some of the officers as witnesses. Mr. Phelps, for the Government, objectod. After some discus sion, the Commissioner decided the officers as com petent as witnesses. After the examination of two witnesses, and eliciting nothing of importance, the Court ad j onrned over until to-morrow. FROM VIRGINIA. Richmond, October 27.—Two hundred members of the Society of Friends from the North passed through here this evening to attend tho annual meeting at Greensboro, North Carolina. A freight train on tho Chesapeake and Ohio Rail road ran into an accommodation train on the Rich mond and Fredericksburg railroad this morning, at the Junction, smashing two cars and slightly injur ing the conductor and three others. O. W. Fitzgerald, late a merchant of this city, committed suicide this morning, in Amelia county, by blowing out his brains. The Synod of Virginia mBet here tomorrow. Rev. H. 0. Alexander, formerly of Princeton, has been elected Professor in the Presbyterian Union Theological Seminary. Ice formed here last night. Lyxchburq, October 27.—It is very cold here to day, with ice one-fourth of an inch thick. The fair is better attended to-day. THE CUBA CASE AGAIN. Wilmington, October 27.—The trial of tho offioera of the Cuba was resumed before United States Commissioner Jas. Dennison, this morning. Ono Enginoer Davis, a marine of the Cuba, Capt. Maf- fitt and Capt. Bolles, both'old naval officers, were examined for the defence. The testimony is very favorable to the defendants, and greatly weakened tho evidence of Gordon, principal witness for the Government. Davis testified that he had been of fered $20 to give evidence against the ship. The impression is very general now that the officers will be discharged. _• I FOREIGN NEWS. Havana, October 26.—The decree of the constit uent Cortes, establishing unrestricted liberty of re ligion in Cnba and Porto Rico, has been promulga ted and has gone into effect as a law of the land. The document, accordingly liberal in its terms, de clares Spain cannot remain removed from the gene ral movement of Europe and the world, and adds that this consideration is more powerful for the An tilles, because they lie near a continent where lib erty of religion is recognized by law. One clause of the decree provides that no person shall be pre vented from holding office under the government by reason of religious belief. The decree was received with general satisfaction by the populace. The city is very tranquil. The American and European merchants are | making contracts for the coming crops. Paris, October 26.- r The prefect of police cautions Total 1,158,942 1,227,495 Deficiency in visible supply 68,553 bales.

We do say that it is a good thing for the Government that he no longer bolds the office. Whether General Butterfield acted amiss is to be the subject of an investigation, which we hold it the part of fair dealing not to prejudge; that he was generally distrusted and so capaklo of injuring the credit of the Government, was a matter that needed no investigation, but called for prompt action. Tho administration here, as in previous in stances, has shown its determination to have its officials above even the suspicion of evil; and now why not relieve the Treasury of its gold surplus by sales in the open market; pay our debt; stop in terest, and relieve alike all temptation, and all cause for fear about speculations in Government gold.” Omaha, October 27.—One hundred Indians were burned by a prairie fire near Fort Rice.

All persons in Georgia having lands for sale would do well to register in this office,before the opening of the Fair, a plat or survey, and full description, embracing the number of acres, the number cleared, tbo number In timber, the quantity of water, the sizes and courses of streams well defined on the plat, the location of houses, description of dwelling and out houses, all improvements, condition of fencing, the character of the neighborhood for schools, churches, morals, etc., distance from railroads, distance from village, town, or city, etc. The correspondence of this office shows that the demand for improved property in the State by visitors from the North will be great. If they aro notified, as they will be on arrival, that such information as to lands can be had in this office it will serve to bring buyers and sellers imme diately into personal communication. * Papers throughout the State please copy. David W. Lewis, Secretary. From Monroe County. IVe clip tlie following from the Monroe Ad vertiser of tlie 26th instant: The President of the Agricultural Society, Mr. Geo. W. Adams, informed the Society that the President of the Macon and Western Kail- road had assured him that there would be a train leaving Forsyth every morning, and re turning every evening, during the Fair at Ma con. Dr. Lawton, corresponding Secretary, report ed that he had a personal interview with Col. Lewis, Secretary of the State Agricultural So ciety, and that he was assured that members of his Society would be furnished quarters on tlie Fair ground. Members who have horses, or stock of any kind, for exhibition, would be pro vided with stalls and food for their stock. He had been autlioratively informed that the Kail- road fare would be nominal. The proceedings of the Golaparchee Agricul tural Club, printed elsewhere, will be fonnd to be exceedingly valuable and interesting. The experience of Mr. Taylor who is one of the most successful amateur fruit growers in Mid dle Georgia, is worthy of a careful study by those who wish to excel in pomology. We are glad to know that the Colaparchee Club is in such a vigorons condition. In the absence of our regular correspondent, we hope that the Secretary, Dr. Shi, will keep ns .posted in re gard to the general proceedings and discussions of the Club. Monroe county now has two of the best disciplined and most efficient Agricul tural Societies in the State. An enormons amount of freight is passing over the Macon and Western Boad. Four freight trains are now running daily bet week Maoon and Atlanta. The “Hon." George Clower—so-called—was the fourth Yioe President of Jeff. Long’s Labor Saving Convention. We suppose the whole af fair was about np to George’s calibre—and he is undoubtedly the biggest fool-nigger in the State. A horse auction was one of the features of Forsyth last Saturday. A Kentucky trader re sorted to this mode of getting rid of the residue of his drove, and several fine animals were brought under the hammer. Very fair prices were obtained. The negro shot by Dr. Stephenson, the par ticulars of whioh were given in oar last, has since died. His tragical end is not deplored by the well-disposed of those of his own race who are acquainted with the facts. Judge Hiram Fhinazee has laid ns under ob ligations for specimens of his farming. ia ‘he shape of com and potatoes. There are thirty- six ears of upland com in the lot—the finest we ever saw. These thirty-six ears of com average one foot in length and eleven inches in circum ference, and several contain twenty-two rows of grain. Wo presume these are average samples of Judge Phinazee’s crop. They can be seen in onr office. The potatoes were the finest we have seen this Beason. Speaking after the manner of editors, the yams were immediately “inserted as inside matter.” Judge Phinazee informs us that he made five hundred bnshels of oom on twelve acres. His best acre prodnoed fifty- three and a half bnshels, and the Becond best forty-six bushels. We call this farming to some advantage. ■ Big Cropping. We clip the following from the Albany News: Col. Lockett’s Brag Patch.—We are pleased to leam that Col. B. G. Lockett will enter the produot of his brag cotton patoh, at the State Fair, for a premium. Capt. Allen, the agricul tural wizzard who planted and cultivated the patch, is confident his system is the highest point yet attained in the science, and is willing to rest his skill upon the yield of this patoh. The ground will be accurately surveyed, and she cotton will be weighed, ginned and packed this week, and we are almost certain that we thall be able to announce seventeen dales, of 500 pounds each, from six acres. The Monroe Advertiser of yesterday says: The Maoon Telegraph has enlarged for the business season, and apologizes therefor. Now, the more we see of the Telegraph, the more we like it, and we don’t aee the necessity for apolo gy. The Telegraph is a good paper—one of the best in the oonntry; its editorials able, ge nial and sympathetic; its news columns pre pared with great taot and industry ;• and its financial reports made with great precision. We should be glad to see the clever gentlemen who run. the Telegraph enveloped in the mys teries of a triple sheet. We ought to lift onr hate very high to such a compliment as that from such a source.

OFFICE DAILY TELEGRAPH, \ October 27—Evening, 1868.) Gen Aral Remarks.—The - Maoon’ market during the week ending this evening has been generally sc* tive, and a lively wholesale and retail trade in all branches has been done from day to day through out. The condition of the dry goods and grocery market is moBt excellent, and prices during toe week have ruled steady and strong. Financial.—There is scarcely that ease in the money market that prevailed on the date of our last weekly review, and tho market is now tightening a little. There is no scarcity, it ia true, but money is a little harder to borrow than it was a week or two since. ’ The stock and bond market has been mostly quiet during toe last week, but, notwithstanding, prices are stiffening a little and a moderate demand exists for toe better grades of this class of securities.

The bulk of sales during the week has been at 23%@23% cents, but today the unfavorable Liv erpool reports dampened the ardor of buyers, and sellers were forced to make a concession of %c.

N» is laid against Washington at all, while >Jh e el jority are severely censured. Many of the fa™ charges alleged against counties of high saai ing, we are folly persuaded, are without fou% tion; but we leave the accused to speak hr themselves. As expressed in the Convention, the colored people desire to have their children educated This is praiseworthy in them, and they should be encouraged in it Some of them want to be come lawyers and doctors right away, and seea to think that their youths and maidens are read at once to “enter college” and be graduate! without further delay. They will leam after time, that primary schools are much more i keeping with their wants than higher institut of learning. The “Labor Association” has done aboat it will do, except to get them into trouble.
