MACON, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 20, 1869.
Poor Fellows I
We are sorry for the Supreme Court of the
United States in these times. It is like a poor
boy at a dance, with no wit and not a sou in
his pocket. The Supreme Court think they
have jurisdiction in a habeas corpus case,
on appeal from a military tribunal, which in re
spect to a civilian has no jurisdiction whatever,
and whose attempts at trying and hanging a
civilian citizen of the United States are nothing
short of conspiracy against the Constitution and
oivil liberty. He Supreme Court thinks it has
jurisdiction to enforce the clear, undoubted
constitutional rights of citizens. Poor fellows!
It becomes them to speak softly with the Rad
real rope around their necks.
We wish to bo understood. We have no sym
pathy at all with this man Yerger, who, if he is
not a lunatic, is a base assassin, and ought to
Swing. He wasgnilty of a dastardly murder, if
he was a responsible man. But all our sympa
thy, just now, is for tho Supreme Court of the
United States, who think they have jurisdiction.
Poor fellows! Why, the Supreme Court used
to be a co-ordinate branch of the Federal Gov
ernment—with powers exclusive and indepen
dent, within their sphere—a department superi
or to the President—superior to Congress within
the powers and duties confided to it by law; and
when it spoke, the other branches of the gov
ernment stood still to listen. Bnt just now, even
Fomey schools it, and it shivers in its shoes
when it falters out an opinion that it has juris
diction. Poor fellows. Their day is over.
A Cotton Ring.
Tho Baltimore Gazette says a rumor has
gained ground that undismayed by the recent
gold panio, in which so many “rings” went to
“tamal smash,” a “cotton ring” is being formed
in New York to bear the staple down to eighteen
or twenty cents, when large purchases will be
made, with the anticipation of realizing thirty
cents per pound in June next. There may bo
no truth in tho report, though it is circumstan
tially stated; but to be forewarned is forearmed,
and the initiatory movements of the proposed
ring may bo readily detected. We had occasion
to allude to this reported movement a week ago,
and whether due to such operations or the in
creasing probability of a larger crop than was
anticipated, or both, cotton is slowly falling in
all the markets, and wo shall not he surprised if
the speculators succeed in carrying their proj
ects through. It is a very common idea now
that tho cotton crop will oxceed 2,750,000 bales.
The harvesting season has been extraordinarily
favorable, both to the saving of the crop and its
development; and most all the planters are do
ing considerably better than they anticipated in
September. The yield will, in consequence, not
only be greater, bnt it will be of better quality
and cleaner than common. Bnt an increase of
two or three hundred thousand bales in the
crop is, after all, a mere bagatelle. It amounts
to little or nothing when compared with the
vast deficit.
The Negro Convention on Georgia
Outrages.
We have again had the misfortune to disturb
the sensitive nerves of our friend of the Sa
vannah News by having published the • outrage
reports of the Colored Convention without con
temporaneous editorial comments. The News
has had some experience in printing daily jour
nals, and it shonld perhaps have occurred to
him that very extended reports of meetings
prolonged into the night, and which do not get
into the printers’ hands till after gas-light, and
are not in type till after midnight, or seen by
the editor until next day, cannot well be accom
panied with contemporaneous editorial comment.
But, while a little surprised at the failure of the
NewB to comprehend the difficulties of a per
formance which he exacts at onr hands, we see
he comes up manfully to supply our short com
ings and omissions, and comments with much
bitterness if not jnBtice.
The truth is, wo view this Convention and
their handiwork from a different standpoint
from that which the News seems to take. We
looked for it to be a very mischievous and vio
lent body. All its predecessors in Macon had
been of that character. Bnt just in proportion
as its influences might bo bad, just in that pro
portion it was important to the whites to know
all abont them. The negroes do not depend on
the press for the dissemination of intelligence
among themselves: but with tho whites the
press is the solo dependence.
Consequently, wo determined to have the
proceedings of this Convention fully reported,
and, if possible, by parties in the interest of
the Convention. This we succeeded in doing,
and the great interest nianifested by the people
and press of Georgia in reading these accounts,
vindicates the proprietyof the proceeding. In
deed, there can be nothing more important to
us in a material or political point of view, than
knowing just what is going on among onr col
The Jackson ('onnty Troubles.
The whites and the Macks of Jackson county,
Florida, have held separate public meetings
and pledged themselves to use every effort, in
dividually and collectively to bring the perpe
trators of the terrible violence in that county to
condign punishment—to uphold the laws and
cultivate a spirit of peace and harmony. The
whites also oflcred a reward of one thousand
dollars for the arrest of the murderer of Miss Mc
Clellan.
Gin-House Burned.
Laubexs Co., October 22, I860.
J&Uter* Tdegraph: I write to inform you
fhab the gin-house of Dr. Kurtz, containing six
bales of cotton, was consumed by fire on the
morning of the 20th inst, supposed by many
to have been the work of an incendiary. The
fire was discovered abont an hoar before day.
Dr. K. lives about fourteen miles west of Dub
lin, the county sito of Laurens county.

Reduction of the Acreage of Cotton.—
The Commissioner of Agriculture, in his late in
teresting report, says that a reduction in the
acreage of cotton is noticed in every State except
Texas, in which the increase seems to be about
thirty per cent. The decrease, as compared
with the previous year, is estimated at twenty-
four per cent, in Louisana, eighteen in Missis
sippi, thirteen in Arkansas, twenty in Tennes
see, twelve in Georgia, eighteen in South Caro
lina, and thirty-two in North Carolina. The re
turns of diminished acreage in early summer did
not excite apprehensions of a decrease in the
crop.of the year. The aggregate crop of the year
was estimated in October at 2,280,000 bales.
The Small Industries.—The change which
has come over the social condition of the South
as a consequence of the war of secession, is in
nothing more plainly manifested than in the
greater attention now paid to the smaller indus
tries. These are always a great sonree of wealth
to nations when assiduously followed, and have
been one of the great causes of the material
success of the Northern United States. In this
connection, we wonld call attention to the ad
vertisement of Mr. T. McCrady, of Charleston,
Sonth Carolina, who has charge of extensive
oyster beds planted and owned exclusively by
capitalists of that city. Every such enterprise
deserves the support of the Southern people.
Habeas Corpus.—Robert Kemaghan, arrest
ed in Hambnrg, Sonth Carolina, nnder a requi
sition by Gov. Bullock upon Gov. Scott, of
South Carolina, was discharged by Judge
Snead, of the Augusta City Court, on a writ of
habeas corpus, and subsequently William
Pettis, the officer having Kemaghan in custody,
was arrested and bound over in the sum of five
hundred dollars for his appearance at the next
term of the Superior Court, to answer a charge
of false imprisonment
The Falatka Herald says there are sixty or
ange groves on the east side of the St John’s
River, ranging between Federal Point and
Donn’s Lake, a distance of about twenty miles,
all of which are in fine condition.

trative of the progress of the country.
Help from the Colored Vote.—Mr. Forney’s
Frees of the 21st says:
The Democratic papers of the South hail the
elections in Pensylvania and Ohio as signs that
“the tide has turned;” but they forget the
small item that in the next contest the Repub
licans of these States, besides the help coming
from Grant's successful administration, will be
reinforced by the united colored vote.
But won’t your “united colored vote” lose
yon more white votes than it counts ? •
ored population, so that we may bo prepared to
counteract falsehood, and ovil and pernicious
influences, as soon and as far as possible.
With these views of what was to be tho prob
able character of tho Convention, we were
agreeably surprised to find it not half so had as
we anticipated, and naturally felt a good deal
more like praising it for unexpected modera
tion, than inveighing with any particular bitter
ness against such errors as it might have com
mitted. The temper it displayed was generally
conciliatory and the whites of Georgia shonld
never suffer themselves to be outdone by the
negroes in the manifestation of a conciliatory
disposition.
On the contrary, we should take the lead in
contributions to harmony between the races,
each in its appropriate sphere. Wo shonld dis
play great allowance, toleration and forbear
ance, and encourage with the fullest reciprocity
every manifestation of a friendly temper by the
colored race. They are a valuable part of our
population. Their interests are substantially
ours, and never shonld we suffer the political
power with which they have been armed to be
used for the common injury if we can prevent
it by fair and honorable means. That is so
plainly the policy dictated by a common sense
view of the situation that few men will call it in
question.
When, therefore, we found that the delegates
from most of the counties in the State, in their
mixed reports of good and ill, had reported a
number of “murders” amounting in gross to
only twenty-three, we thought, on tho whole,
they had done pretty well considering. Last
year the Radicals, black and white, native and
foreign, made out among them, if onr memory
serves us, some two or three hundred murders
of blacks in Georgia. This, then, was a large
improvement. We had no doubt that during
the year more than twenty-three blacks, and
probably more than twenty-three whites, had
been killed, and that in the case of the blacks
every instance of killing would bo set down as
murder. In Bibb county, for illustration, tho
delegates reported one negro killed, whereas,
there have been two or three. The statement,
therefore, was not surprising. There have been,
as we suppose, more than twenty-three homicides
of negroes in Georgia during the past year—-bnt
the mass of them were cases of killing in self-
defence, or killing when the victim was in the
act of robbery or resisting apprehension, or
killing in the coarse of a broil. The number of
murders of blacks by whites, if any, was ex
ceedingly small, and not one of them, as we-
beliove, had any origin in political causes.
There is not a newspaper in Georgia which
has been more sednlous than the Telegraph in
its efforts to counteract and refute the slanders
upon onr political and social condition dissemi
nated by the Radicals for political offect; and
if the whole press will be as anxious to maintain
the peace and fair fame of Georgia as we, and
to avoid all the approaches to violence, by dis-
conrnging personal and political acrimony, there
will be even less foundation for “reports of
outrages.”

Richmond, . Texas, October 19, 1860,
Editors Tdegraph, : Our District Court
now in session, with a pretty heavy docket, both
on the civil and criminal side. The petit jury
is composed mainly of negroes, and the lawyers,
by common consent, will continue most of their
cases requiring the intervention of the “Apos
tolic twelve.” This, I understand, is the pro-
gramme, hoping by next Court that something
better may tom up.
For a set of negroes, who, like “Tucker on
wood-pile, can’t count eleven,” to be placed in
a position where, called on to determine a knot
ty, complicated, strenuously disputed question
of fact, looks more like a burlesque or broad
farce, than the staid, sober, dignified adjudica
tion of serious matters of dispute nnder the
grave rules of legal jurisprudence. Tossing np
heads and tails would be infinitely more satis
factory to parties litigant. If negro juries are
thrust upon us, arbitration will be almost inva
riably resorted to, which, after all, is only an
other form of jury trial.
Politics are in such a confused muddle, that
no man, having any regard for the estimate in
which his judgment may be held, wonld venture
an opinion at this time. In the thickly settled
portions of the State, stamp speakers are ha
ranguing the people in and out of season.
No matter who is successful, I hope the win.
ning party will try to improve the mail service.
No country tho size of Texas, in modem days,
has suffered as mnch from the lack of mail fa
cilities as we have. Last summer, when travel
was doll, there was only a semi-weekly mail be
tween New Orleans and Galveston, a city of over
25,000 inhabitants. At best, I believe the mail
service between those two great commercial
cities, is only tri-wrekly!
The receipts of cotton at Houston and Galves
ton are considerably in excess of what they were
last year at the same time. This is no evidence
of a large crop. It is the reverse. A moment’s
reflection will show why this is the oase. Bnt
little being made, the planter starts his gin, and
as soon as ready it is pushed forward for the
depot while the roads are good.
With the experience of the past, and certainly
of a short crop, the farmer or planter who can
hold for better prices, and does not do so, will
act unwisely.
Tho Southern people, if they choose to do so,
can fix the price of cotton as certainly and easily
as the manufacturer fixes the price of his
prints.
It is fortunate that it was Gen. Forrest who
made tho speech recently attributed to him at
Will's Valley. A man of a less distinguished
record, wonld be in danger of being charged
with being too “demnition anxious to curry fa
vor;” so would Leo too, recently at the Sulphur
Springs, bnt for the same reason. These wor
thies consider the war ended, and are now as
anxious to cultivate the amenities of peace, as
they once were to uphold the Southern banner.
Col. J. S. Thrasher, so long and well known
to all newspaperdom, is now associated editori
ally, and as part proprietor, with tho Galveston
Civilian, the oldest paper in the State, except
the Houston Telegraph. It is needless to say
what every newspaper reader knows, that Col.
is a vigorous writer. Col. H. Stuart, now
Democratic candidate for Governor, needed and
deserved a little rest. He has tagged over thir
ty-one years, mostly unaided, at the editorial oar
of the “Civilian.” Pab Fors.

The Tennessee Senator.
The Nashville Banner has an editorial notice
of Henry Cooper, the new Senator elect from
Tennessee, from which wo take the following:
Senator Cooper is one of a trio of brothers of
tried and acknowledged ability, eminent in the
legal profession, distinguished in the public
service, and enjoying high position in the pub
lic confidence and respect. Judge Cooper,
himself, was never a personal applicant for any
office, and was never defeated in any canvass
before the people. When it was decided by the
friends of other distinguished gentlemen who
had been mentioned in connection with the
Senatorial office, it was beyond all question not
the wish of Mr. Cooper not to accept the honor,
save in obedience to the unanimous choice of
others named for that office, headed by the gen
erous and patriotic Ethridge, who proposed the
final concentration. He accepted it gracefully
and with characteristic modesty, and we are
thoroughly convinced no one so much as him
self recognizes in his election a triumph of the
friends of peace and harmony, and not especial
ly and individually the triumph of Judge
Henry Cooper. We recognize in his elec
tion, as we shonld also have done in the
election of one of the gentlemen who gave
way in order that his name might be brought
safely before the joint convention the triumph
of a truly conservative, pacific, national and
progressive public sentiment. He is justly re
garded one of the rising statesmen of Tennes
see, universally esteemed for his spotless char
acter, his eminent abilities and genuine conser
vatism. In politics, he was a consistent Whig,
a staunch Unionist daring the war, and since as
thoroughly a Conservative. The selection of
snch a representative man at the present junc
ture of affairs, State and national, we consider
the best card Tennessee has played since the
restoration; and the present General Assembly
could not have signalized the peaceful era in
which they are assembled as the people’s chosen
conservators., more eloquently to the nation and
to the world, than by tho verdict of their ballot
yesterday. In congratulating our honored and
deserving fellow-citizen upon the result, we con
gratulate the people of the whole State, also
without regard to political opinion or differ
ences, upon so salutary and satisfactory a com
promise of our Senatorial contest. May his
Senatorial terra be as auspicious as his merits
are great and bis character as a citizen and pub-
lie servant is unimpeachable.
Hiss Anna on the Mormons.
The gentle Anna Dickinson is delighting the
North with two lectures this winter—one
“Whited Sepulchres,” in which she pitches into
Mormonism and relates all she saw, heard and
guessed at in Salt Lake City. Her other lec
ture is about the “Sham Family at Home.”—
Surely Miss Anna should not set upas authority
on family matters. She is not in that way. The
Press reports her tale of Mormon horrors thus :
On Sunday she went to their Tabernacle, and
saw there sitting in the high places, well met,
well received, John Todd; heard him preach a
sermon wherein lie apostrophized all these peo
ple as “fellow sinners and brethren !” She heard
lim tell a story wherein it was stated that differ
ences of creed notwithstanding, all good people
were sure of eternal salvation. He did not say
Mormons by word, but if not by implication,
then what was the story worth ? and why was it
told ? and why in the presence of those people,
did he say there was nothing necessary to their
salvation but faith in Christ? Who were the
men before him ? There was Bishop Johnson,
whose wives included four sisters and two nieces,
and George W. Watt, a church reporter, mar
ried to, among others, liis own lialf-sistcr, and
Bolton, having a mother and daughter among
his wives, and a host of men who count their
twenty and more wives. These were the men
with whom this man claimed kinship and broth
erhood. John Todd, minister and divine, with
such filth about him, did not cry out, “O God?
where are tliy lightnings?” but looked at the
case in all its loathsome bearings, and passed by
it. The affairs in Salt Lake City were very
much like the condition of affairs in every other
city, with the exception that vices were not tol
erated in oneplace, while they were in the other.
Brazed-faced things went openly on the street in
Utah that elsewhere wore a mask; that were
covered up in some way; the underlying theory
‘ saint and Gentile, of Mormon and Christian,
regard to womankind, was very mnch the
same in both places—that a woman belonged to
man, body and soul, and was to serve him till
God released her, bnt the men were not so
bound to their wives. The theory was that
women were to help men, to derive their exist
ence, so to speak, from them, bnt not to perfect
themselves, not to make themselves strong, and
then to give them what aid she could. A wo
man was a mother to his children, not her own.'
Her business was to be a wife and mother, and
not a woman. That theory was as rife in the
highly-cultivated city of Philadelphia as it was
among the God-forsaken heathen in the desert
plains of Salt Lake. John Todd’s theory, a
theory not only found in John Todd’s mouth,
bnt in tho months of millions of people in
America, was that the only duty of woman was
that of motherhood—not at a matter in a
spiritual or mental sense, but physically. This
was a theory entirely approved of by the Mor
mons. Stripped of all sentiment, of all glamor,
all delicate words and exquisite sentences,
snch was the real state of affairs in Utah. It
waa being stated that women were in favor of
the system of polygamy. They were. So were
tho women in Turkey and Persia in favor of
their system of selling females from the sham
bles. So were the women of this land in favo*
of being considered the weaker and irresponsible
nortion of mankind.
FROM WASHISGTOS.
Washington, October 25—In the Supreme Court
to-day, Cbas. A. Bead read an elaborate opinion
the Yerger case, to the effect that the Supreme Court
of the United States has jurisdiction under the Con
stitution , and the Judiciary Act of 1867, and repealed
by act of 1868. does not act to take away the jurisdic
tion of this court in this case.
The writ of habeas corpus was referred to as
among one of the most valuable rights, and was
guarded by the Constitution. The merits of the
Yetger case were not involved in the opinion, bnt the
merely assuming j urisdiction. Yerger's counsel will
have a conference to-morrow with the Attorney Gen
eral, when further proceedings under the jurisdic
tion will be arranged. The granting of the writ is
still pending.
Revenue to-day $676,000.
The Court of Claims has resumed its sessions—
Feck and Nott absent.
Ewing is recovering. ,
The sentence of Captain Frank Monroe, of the
Marines, has been commuted to suspension from
rank, duty and command for three years.
Justice Miller dissented from the opinion of the
Court in assuming jurisdiction in the Yerger habeas
corpus case. Chase’s opinion is over five thousand
words. '
Boutwell aurhorizes the immediate payment of
the November interest, without debate.
The President will be absent from noon to-mor

Philip Phillips appeared for Mobile, and Ex-Judge
John A. Campbell, of Alabama, for Wearing, in
the Alabama salt case. The Supreme Court, in the
opinion delivered to-day, held, that nnder tho laws
of the United States relating to imports, and nnder
the circumstances of the case, the plaintiff in
error was not the importer of the salt, but the mere
purchaser from the importers; and the fact that he
sold it in unbroken packages did not exempt him
from State taxation. He had not partaken of the
risks of the voyage, but was a mere purchaser of
goods to arrive. The owners of the ship on whose
account the salt was laden and who had complied
with the laws in tho matter of discharging by light
ers, were to be deemed the importers.
Judgment affirmed.
Moses Wearing vs. tho Mayor, etc., of Mobile—error
to tho Supreme Court of Alabama. The plaintiff in
error is a merchant of Mobile and claims to be an
importer of salt in that port. He complains that the
city, under authority of State law, seeks to impose
on him a tax on sales and a penalty for its non-pay
ment, which he alleges was illegal because in con
flict with that danse of the Constitution of the Uni
ted States which prohibits a State from IayiDg any
duties on imports and exports.
Judge Chase condudes his opinion as follows:
Tho argument having been confined to this question
of jurisdiction, this opinion is directed to that ques
tion. The jurisdiction of the court to issue the writ
is affirmed. The following is an extract from the
opinion: “We am obliged to bold, therefore, that
in all cases where a Circuit Court of the United
States has, in the exercise of its original jurisdiction,
caused a prisoner to be brought before it, and liaB,
after inquiring into thocause of detention, remanded
him to tho custody from which ho was taken, this
court, in the evercise of its appellate jurisdiction,
may, by the writ of habeas corpus, aided by the writ
of certiorari, reverse the decision of the Circuit
Conrt, and if it be found unwarranted by law, relieve
the prisoner from the unlawful restraint to which
ho has been remandod.”

Correspondence of the Home Jovrwnt.J , '
On a shrubbery knoll, whose broad graveled
walks extend to the water's edge, and command
ing a fine view of the bay, is situated, at St.
Aaresse, (a suburb of Havre,) Mon Desir, the
chateau of Queen Christine of Spain. It is a
large, square building, with a chapel attached,
and hemmed in on the city side by a wall of about
ten feet high. Here the qneen-mother of Spain
and her suite passed the summer, and here, a
few weeks ago, I had a pleasant interview with
her Majesty. When I arrived at the gate of the
lodge, a neatly-dressed, youthful blonde issued
forth, bearing in her arms a deep mulatto baby
of about three months, and followed by three
deeper-colored, woolly-headed responsibilities.

My husband,’ she said, with a pleasing smile,
‘will be here in an instant to open the gate.’ His
appearance in the time specified settled in my
mind tho Queen’s opinion on the subject of
amalgamation. A finer looking, blacker African
I had never beheld. Showing me two rows of
unblemished ivory, he opened the gate, and I
proceeded np a broad graveled walk, leading
through the frontage grounds to the door of the
chateau.
When midway the ground, I met the inten-
dant, who received me graciously, and escorted
me to the entrance of Mon. Desir, whence a va
let in livery conducted me to the boudoir of her
majesty, on the second story. The queen, with
whom the intendant had arranged my interview
the day before, was seated at the bay-side win
dow of the bondoir, reading the plays of Victor
Hugo. She received me with a pleasant smile,
and pointed to efautueilnesx her. After a few
introductory remarks, her majesty touched upon
the late difficulties in Spain, and the disenthorne-
ment of her daughter, which facts are to well
known to be repeated here.
“The Spanish people,” she said, “are loyal at
heart, bnt they are like capricious children, who
are pleased for a moment with a new toy, and
then cast it away for their old one. Isabella n.
will be recalled, and the usurpers driven from
Spain through seas of blood. You will see it—
the world will see it.”
“And if she be not recalled, will sho abdicate
in favor of h6r son ?” I asked.
“Never! never! while I live,”she replied,
with an expression of firmness that wonld have
done credit to Nero.
In conclusion, her majesty informed me that
Isabella II. was expected at Tronville the next
day, and that if I desired to see her she would
arrange an interview. I thanked her highness
for so mnch condecension, and took my de
parture.
Tronville is a pretty little coquette of a city;
seated in a cove on the opposite side of the
bay in Lower Normandie, about half an hour’s
sail from Havre. It is neat, recherche extreme- 8wa y- .

Cotton Ipiniag.
The condition of the cotton manufactures in
this country and in Europe is the subject of
earnest- discussion on both sides of the Atlantic.
England, France and the New England States of
the Amerioan Union are alike discussing the best
means of preventing a loss of their trade, and
of securing themselves against disastrous com
petition.
England, an enormous monied capital,
backed by the whole power of the government,
is ready to be used in recovering the old markets
or in forming new ones. And not a day too
soon! The continent of Europe is far less de
pendent than formerly on the cotton goods of
Manchester, and the Amerioan demand, in oon-
seqnence of the increase in domestic m
tures, is steadily decreasing. Commercial trea
ties do not stop the gap. Take the treaty with
France as an example, which treaty, while it
secured the English a market for their coal, an
nihilated their silk manufactures. What is now
proposed is nothing leas than the removal of the
entire cotton manufacture to India; to establish
the factories there, and, by the aid of lowprioes,
for labor as.well as the raw material, to under
sell both European and American manufac
turers.
In France, a similar scheme is nnder consid
eration. There the propoeition is to transfer
the cotton factories-from the northern depart
ments to the southern portion of the Empire.
Daring the last six months the Austrian port of
Trieste has imported from Bombay twice as
many bales as France received. This gave rise
to the suggestion to move the factories nearer
to the supply of raw material, and nearer to the
seaboard. In both instances the principle is the
same—to bring the cotton mill nearer to the
cotton port and cotton field.
_ A similar idea is beginning to- attract atten
tion in mechanical New England. The obvious
truth that ootton can be procured and manufac
tured at a lower price in the South, where it is
produced than in the Northern factories, to
which it is conveyed at great expense, is opening
the eyes of tho spinners. This has taken firm
hold of the Southern mind, and New England
must either move its mills down South, as Eng
land proposes to move the mills of Lancaster to
India, or must submit to be driven ont of the
market by the produce of the Southern fac
tories. Nearly one hundred million dollars is
invested in cotton manufacturing establishments
in the New England and Central States. This
is the extent of the interest which is felt in the
manufacturing progress of the South.
Notwithstanding the failure of Senator Spra
gue to lead the revolution in cotton spinning,
of which lie spoke so glibly, there is still a pros
pect that Northern capital and Northern- ma
chinery will gradually find their way to tlic
South. It can, moreover, be shown, we think,
that the English spinners can use their surplus
machinery here more profitably than in distant
Hindostan. Upon the same continent they
would find the raw material, the means of manu
facturing, and ssufficien, market—a market more
hard to be satisfied as the broad plains of the
West are made rich by the labors of the immi
grant and the passage of the locomotive.
The South, in truth, holds the balance of
power. It has not been found practicable to
replace the American staple, though sacks of
English gold have been scattered broadcast
among the cotton planters of India. Old King
Cotton holds his own, and both England and
New England are forced to acknowledge his

guests the dite of Europe. Its plage is very fa
vorable to the comfort of dainty bathers. It is
safe, sahlee and warm. A few cfays after my in
terviews with the queen-mother, I went to
Tronville to try the virtues of k» tepid waters,
and to get another peep at royalty. Prince Na
poleon and Isabella IT. and her suite were at
the hotel Normandie, which rendered that estab
lishment the centre attraction. In the after
noon of the day of my arrival I repaired to the
•plage|to enjoy its gentle surf, and there saw Isa-
jella II. take her bath, just like other mortals.
In her white bathing dress, and her long, biaek,
unbound tresses, she seemed to me mnch pret
tier than her pictures represent her. The next
morning I reminded her intendant of Qneen
Christine’s promise, and was told' that her maj
esty the queen of Spain had already received a
communication from her mother; recommend
ing me to her highness’consideration, and that
she would see me any morning between one
and two.
Tho next day at l o’clock I w&3 ushered into
the presence of Isabella IL, whose- fall from a
throne had enlisted my warmest sympathies.
Her majesty was attired in a plain black silk,
with a single red rose in her black- hair. She
received me with a sweet smile, and; as soon as
was seated, referred-to the letter of her moth
er, recommending me to her majesty’s kindly
consideration. The conversation then naturally
turned on the past, present and future of Spain,
on which she spoke with more fervor and depth
of thought than I had supposed her capable. Her
views on the loyalty cf’her people and the causes
of their estrangement were not unlike those of
her mother. She believes that she will be re
called, bnt, in’ease she shall not be-, she has firm
ly resolved never to abdicate, and never to set
foot on her native land. She expressed, with
great warmth of feeling, her gratitude for the
kindness she had received from the French Ein-
>eror, and his people generally, since she had'
>een an exile in Ranee. I left her majesty
with a mnch higher opinion of the qualities of
her mind and heart than I had entertained be
fore my interview.
rich and independent. Money is flowing steadi
ly into the cotton- States. The surplus capital
is already large. It cannot be invested in ne
groes, and of laud there is more than enough.
Where, then, can R be applied to more advan
tage than in the manufacture of eotton ? In no
case has a well-managed cotton mill been un
profitable, and we can- lay our finger upon a
dozen which are earning large dividends. The
Southern mill can make money when it sells
yarns at the price which they cost to manufac
ture in New England! The risk is small and
the gain is great; not only in hard money, but
in the opening of new channels of industry, in
giving enlarged opportunities of employment to
the people, and in keeping in the country the
money which now slips into the pocket of the
Northerner and foreigner.
The snbject is well worthy of practical atten
tion, and we hope that onr people, not thinking

coast, the frequent storms are harbingers of the
wrathful cold to come. The winter of 1859-G0
was remarkably mild, only paralleled by the
winters of 1622, *28 and ’84. Since 1859-60 the
years have been quite warm, dry and dear, cor
responding with a singularly tight pressure of
the barometer. It see tns that we are to pay

“Com is sure to rule higher, and if I were to
attempt to make figures, they would hardly be
oredited. My opinions are based on the follow
ing facts: The- Commisioner of Agricnlture says
that the com orop in every seotion of the coun

six States shaw an average orop. He puts the
loss in Virginia at 49 per oent.; North and Sonth

gan and Wisconsin at 30 to 40 per cent. ; New
Hampshire, Connecticut, New York, New Jer
sey, Delaware, Georgia, Indiana, Ohio, Iowa
and Minnesota, 20 to 30 per cent. ; Massachu
setts and Pennsylvania 10 to 20 per oent. ;
Rhode Island, Alabama, Missouri and Califor
nia 1 te ID-percent.; or about one hundred and
fifty millions bushels less than a full crop. This
looks tike high com before next spring. Oats
will, to some extent, sympathise with com in
pries. Again, the large orders now received
from Smith Carolina, Georgia and Alabama, con
firm me in my views that com must advanoe
materially in the next sixty days, if not before.
Now is the time to order, that wa may use our
discretion and take advantage ofheavy receipts,
dull days, eto., and fill orders gradually instead
of precipitating them upon the market at once.”
One of the partners of the house has traveled
through six com Stale*, and these views corres
pond with his personal observations.—Columbus

One of the Meteoric Moses.
from the Columbus Enquirer, of thr‘23d and 21 fA.]
We have heretofore copied? statements con
cerning the explosion ef-a large'meteor in Stew
art county, followed by the fall of a number of
meteoric stones. Testerdfey we were favored
with one of these stones, which fell in the yard
of Mr. E. Barlow, about eleven mites southwest
of Lumpkin. It fell within six feet of two
negro girls, and buried* itself in- the ground to
the depth of eight inehes. The fall was pre
ceded by a lond explosion and a rumbling noise.
The stone sent ns is-abont as Targe as a me
dium-sized apple, bat is nearer square than
round. It is qnite heavy for its size, and is en
crusted with a black eoat, as thick as an egg
shell, which was evidently farmed while the
stone was in a Btate of * combustion during its
passage through our at mosphere. In color and
grain this stone looks like an amalgam of granite
and marble—not so coarse as the former, nor as
white or fine-grained as the latter.
It is said by mineralogists that there are no
stones to be found on our earth of the precise
constituents of meteoric stones; and some as
tronomers suppose that meteoric stones are shot
from volcanoes in the Moen with snch great
force as to bring some of them within the at
traction of onr planet, and that on entering its
atmosphere they ignite. "Whatever may have
been the origin of this stone, it has certainly
been a fiery traveler; and is a curiosity.
More about the, Aerolite.—Wo neglected to
state, in our notice of this suriosity, that it fell
about 11 o’clook in the day time, ob the 6th of
October. The serolito bunt, with an explosion
that was heard for thirty miles around, and the
several fragmentj-fell in different parts of the
surrounding country—we have not heard how
far apart. The distance apart will be of interest
in determining the probable height at which tho
explosion occurred.
The fragment-submitted tons must, of course,
have been broken with sharp edges, and these
were rounded by combustion dinring its fallfrom
the place of explosion to the ground. This in
dicates a considerable height for the region of
the explosion.
We alluded, yesterday, to one theory of the
origin of these nieteoriestnnes. Another is Shat
first advanced by I’roL Qhnstead some thirty
years ago, and which haa- been received witB fa
vor by many scientific- men, vix: that there is
circling round the sun, in an orbit that ah long
intervals intersects that of the earth, a zone of
aerolites; that this zone at times (as about the
middle of November each thirty-third year) ap
proaches so near the earth that many of them
are attracted by it into our atmosphere, which
ignites them, producing the phenomenon com
monly called “falling stars.” The probability Is
that most of these are entirely consumed before
reaching the earth. At other times a few of
them aae drawn singly, by the earth’s attraction,
into our atmosphere, and instances are by no
means- rare in which large stones have been
known-tofall to tha ground. The Stewart coun
ty aerolite being one of these, and the published
facts- in reference to it being so well authenti
cated, will no doubt he hereafter referred to as
one of the most interesting occurrences of this
kind on record.
