Savannah News : Messrs. Bell, Stur
tevant & Cos. yesterday sold the first
bale of Florida cotton that has been
received in this city, in front of the
store of Ph. Dzialynski, to Mr. John C.
Rowland, for 1414 c. This bale was re
ceived by Mr. Dzialynski from Messrs.
Well & Stellings, of Gainesville, Fla.,
and was classed middling.
Macon Telegraph: We have seen an
autograph letter from Hon. Fernando

Savannah Advet'tiser : One after
another of the old landmarks which
connect the present with the past is
swept away by the great ocean of time
in its resistless surges. Death has
blighted a tree of deepest root. Rev.
Samuel B. Sweat was called away hence
yesterday morning. He stood quite
near the gaves of Heaven when the sum
mons came, and a life of honor, virtue
and piety ended somewhat like Enoch’s,
and the obituary might be as short as
forcible, and as eloquent. “And Enoch
walked with God, and was not, for God
took him.”
Atlanta Herald: On Wednesday
night, as Rev. E. W. Warren, D. D., and
Rev. A. J. Beck were returning from
prayer meeting at the First Baptist
Church, they came upon what they
supposed at first was a cloud of dust,
which proved to be smoke. They then
found that there was a building on fire,
an out-house on a lot in the rear of Jas.
R. Wylie’s store, opposite the First
Baptist Church. They gave the alarm,
and then began vigorous efforts to put
it out. which they succeeded in doing.
The dogs, not appreciating the good
intent of these ministers, and wofully
mistaking them for marauders, barked
and bit at their heels, but they persist
ed in kicking at the dogs with their
feet and drawing water with their
hands, and saved the city probably
from a serious fire. A graver feature
in the matter is that the fire was evi
dently the work of an incendiary.

Atlanta Herald: We are indebted to
the courtesy of Col. Jno. T. Brown,
Principal Keeper of the Penitentiary,
for the information promptly aud cour
teously given in answer to our inqui
ries, which we present below; The
whole number of convicts is about 800;
one-tenth of these are white. The ratio
is one of decrease in the number of
white convicts, and an increase of col
ored. Of the 800, there are thirty wo
men, one of whom is a white woman,
from this city, convicted of murder.
The rates of mortality for this year
are about the same as last. There
were forty deaths, out of 700, re
ported last year for the whole
y ear . For the seven months of
the ’ present year there have
been thirty deaths out of 800. The
health of the various gangs, through
the State, has improved considerably
of late. Those at work on farms are
the healthiest, but the percentage of
escapes is greater. The number of es
capes so far. is twenty-five; one-third
less than last year. Greater efficiency
in capturing those who make their es
cape is apparent. A heavy increase is
anticipated the coming Fall. Courts
will soon be in session, and jails are
full di over the State. In the month
of July, this year, there were nineteen
brought in, against two iu 18/3, and
four in 1874, for the same month.
There are many young negroes brought
iD; some as young as ten years, and a
number fourteen and fifteen years old.
A Striking Letter.— The following,
which was recognized to be in the ex-
President’s hand writing, has been
found among his papers in his office .
“Greenville, Jane 29, 1873.—A1l seems
gloom aud despair. I have performed
my duty to my God, my country and
my family. I have nothing to fear.
Approaching death is to me the mere
shadow of God’s protecting wing. Be
neath it I almost feel sacred. Here, I
know, can no evil come. Here I will
rest in quiet and peace, beyond the
reach of calumny’s poisoned shaft, the
influence of envy and jealous enemies,
where tiud ticiitoib iri Stute,
backsliders and hypocrites iu chuicli,
can have no place; where the great tact
will be realized that God is truth, and
gratitude the highest attribute of men.
Nic itur ad astra. Such is the way to
the stars or immortality.”
Uncle Joe’s Bad Bargain. —“ You
’member when I was a slave I worked
hard at odd times, and made money
nuff to buy myself. I paid old massa
SI,OOO for my freedom.”
“Yes,” said Mr. “i remember
it.”
“Wish I had dat money now,” mused
the old darkey.
“Well, yes,” replied Mr. , “it
would be quite a fortune for you.”
“Lots ’o fortune, sar,” said the old
man mournfully, “and every time I
think about it I kinder rue de bargain.

GEORGIA CROP NEWS.
The Situation Around Davisboro.
[Correspondence of the Constitutionalist.]
Davisboro, Ga., August 5,1875.
We have at last had refreshing show
ers. I think the rain is pretty general
in this section. It came too late for
corn—the stalk is exhausted. I have
just traveled through several counties ;
none of them can possibly make more
than half crops. In many places the
corn is entirely dead and will not make
seed. The cotton is also cut off fully
half from what it once promised to
make, but we must bear in mind that
the cotton crop, up to the time of the
drouth, was unusually promising. I
think I can safely say, with favorable
seasons from now ou, there will be two
thirds of an average cotton crop gath
ered in those counties. To illustrate :
We planted for 75 bales ; at one time
we had a good prospect for 100, or even
over. Now, we think 50 will cover our
crop. With a few exceptions, I think
ours is a true index to the crop in this
and the adjoining counties. Now, that
the rain has come, the weeds look sur
prisingly well.
It may struggle, but the season is
too far gone for it to ever regain half
what it has thrown off.
I start to-morrow for Burke. Send
my papers to Midville, No. 9 y 2 C. R. R.
I don’t know how any one leaving
the city for the Summer months can
afford to do without the Constitution
alist. It is the most welcome visitor I
have. I must say right here, I think
it is the best daily paper in the State.
T. J. Holmes.
Still Dry.
Our promised August floods do not
come. Two good showers have fallen
in and just around Macon within the
past five days, which have probably
wet the soil to the depth of two to four
inches, but we have had no rain for
three days, and the earth is again very
thirsty. The little rain we have had
has not relieved the distress of fruit
and shade trees, and we notice many
in a dying condition. Corn is also
twisting again, and in short, this mid
way of sth August finds a dry time, a
bright sun and mercury at 90.
The Cotton Crop.
Fort Valley, Ga., August 5, 1875.
At a regular meeting of Flint River
Grange, July 31st, after the business
had been disposed of, the master re
quested each member present to give
his prospect for a cotton crop as com
pared with the prospect of July Ist. —
There was a large scope of country
Represented by the members present,
and after a concise statement of each,
the average was made, and it was
found to be a falling oft of thirty-six
and one-half per cent.: that is, with
good seasons from now the crop cannot
be more than sixty-three and one-half
per cent, of what it bade fair to be the
first of July. These statements were
made from each individual’s farm.
M.
Condition of the Crops,
Up to a few days ago many of our
farmers wore blue looks when speaking
cf their crops. In some localities no
rain had fallen for three weeks, and the
consequence was that corn and cottou
had suffered very materially. Com
mencing on Friday last, however, rains
have fallen in many portions of the
country, which will save the crops to a
great extent, but that the cotton and
corn will fall short of calculations made
a month ago almost every one will ac
knowledge. Much the larger portion
of corn on bottom lands in Elbert was
badly injured by overflows in the
Spring. —Elberton Gazette.
Wind and Rain.
Nearly every day for a week we have
had heavy winds aud slight rains. Iu
some instances fencing has been blown
down and crops injured. But generally,
the rain lias been beneficial. — Waynes
boro Expositor.
l\.e Crops.
The drouth of the past three or four
weeks has very materially injured the
crops in many portions of our county,
and before the rains of the latter part
of last week, many of our farmers were
almost hopeless. However, since the
rains, which were pretty generally dis
tributed throughout the county, there
is a more hopeful outlook, the crops
recuperating much faster than it was
thought possible. There is no ques
tion of the fact, however, that the corn
crop at least will be cut off very ma
terially. A friend from Glasscock in
form us that crops in many portions of
that county are cut off at least one
half. —Warrenton Clipper.
The Virginians.
The following is au English view,
taken from un article iu McMillan's
Magazine :
The Virginians, as a people, are, at
all events, outwardly—not that I have
the slightest grounds for supposing
that it is only thus—decidedly religious.
You seldom hear them swear, and, as
I have already said, they never drink ;
they even look ou dancing, for the most
part, with horror, and are almost punc
tilious about going to church as well as
about other smaller observances. In
dress they are as untidy as most Amer
icans ; iu fact, if I may venture to say
so, iu common with the majority of the
male portion of the United States,
seem to have entirely lost all taste in
that respect, and shady black with a
great deal of white shirt front—which I
need not say does not always remain
that color—satisfies the highest public
demand for respectability; a green tie
is considered rather au object of beau
ty, which is a mo3t unfortunate accom
paniment to an American complexion.
Asa rule their features are good,
though they somewhat lack ex
pression owing, I suppose, to
many generations of neglected edu
cation. In figure, for the most part,
they are tall aud gaunt, and it is sel
dom that you see a really well-knit
frame. The town population exhibits
the same falling off in physical struc
ture from their European forefathers
as those of the Northern cities; the
height alone remains, while the re
quired stamina to carry it off seems to
have been lost. They confess to being
100 years behind the rest of the world
—a flippant observer might suggest
that 200 would be nearer the truth. The
national pas’hue is the tournament.
Imagine, reader, in these days of steam
and electricity—the Virginians stifl tilt
at the ring! A gallows is erected, from
which hangs a small ring; the com
petitors, styling themselves the knights
of this or that place, ride at it full gal
lop with a lauce. The champion of the
day is presented with a crown, which
he places on the head of any fair lady
among the audience he may choose,
and this favored damsel is forthwith
styled the queep of beauty. The even
ing winds up, in some cases, with a
dance or frolic, as it is called, tliopgh
dancing is still looked upon coldly jn
Virginia, and '‘round” dances are bare
ly countenanced; when they are prac
tised it is in the most primitive manner.
Mother of the New York slums to

GRANT AND JOHNSON.
Formal Honors to the Dead —The Late
ex-President and Gen. Grant—Two
Good Haters to the Last—Character
istics of Andrew Johnson, &c.
[Special Dispatch to the Baltimore Sun.]
Washington, August 3. —A1l the de
partments were closed to-day and the
public business was generally suspen
ded, in compliance with the order of
the President, as a mark of respect to
the memory of the late ex-President
Johnson. This order of the President
was merely in accordance with the es
tablished official custom, and not an
indication, as seems to have been sup
posed, or personal respect paid by the
President to his enemy. Ever since the
time that Gen. Grant surrendered the
possession of the war office to Mr.
Stanton, contrary to what Mr. Johnson
understood to have been the positive
agreement between them, the two have
been mortal enemies. Neither hesita
ted when the occasion arose to speak
in the strongest denunciatory terms of
the other.
When Mr. Johnson came back to
Washington last March as Senator he.
in conversation with various persons,
criticised in the freest and plainest
manner the acts of the President and
his personal characteristics, asciibiug
to him the possession of qualities and
ambitions scarcely paralleled by some
of the worst rulers who have disgraced
ancient and modern annals. Some of
the busy bodies who are ever anxious
to foment animosities carried these ex
pressions of Mr. Johnson to the Presi
dent, and were rewarded for their pains
by hearing the President deliver him
self with equal vehemence on the
crimes and enormities of which Mr.
Johnson was capable. Indomitable
will and unconquerable obstinacy be
long as much to the President as they
did to Mr. Johnson, and the hand of
death is powerless to still the feelings
of such natures. From the days of
the desperate contest which culminated
in the bringing to trial of President
Johnson he and General Grant never
met; but had Mr. Johnson lived and
mixed in the social attractions of the
capital such meeting would inevitably
have taken place.
It is of course no secret that Mr.
Johnson’s desire was not to bring his
personal grievances into the debates of
the Senate, as this desire and intention
was publicly announced by him, but
despite this, in his one speech a leaven
of the bitterness which it was natural
that he should feel toward those whom
he believed had been unjust to him was
apparent. In the heat and excitement
of debate it was manifestly impossible
for a man with the strong passions and
convictions of Mr. Johnson to temper
the fast-rising words with judgment
and discretion. Had he lived to par
ticipate in the stormy discussions which
cannot be avoided at the next session
of Congress, who knowing him, doubts
that his voice would have rung with
the same notes of defiance against all
comers, which covered him with the
universal hatred of his own section in
1861, and in the equally memorable
years succeeding 1865 drew upon him
the vengeance of the most powerful
party that ever controlled the destinies
of this country. The warmest friends
of the dead statesman say that per
haps it was best that his earthly life
should have been extinguished at this
time, when the memory of that honesty
which no temptation could weaken, and
of that courage in defense of right
which no odds could daunt, rests so
fragrant and green in the hearts of his
countrymen.
A Character Incident.
During the last days of ex-President
Johnson’s stay in Washington he was
in conversation with Dr. Cox, who had
occasionally prescribed for him, when
the doctor, struck by his appearance,
said : “You are not looking as well as
usual, Mr. Johnson ?” The ex-Presi
dent resented the remark at once, and
replied quickly, “You are mistaken,
sir, I was never stronger or better.”
This did not change the opinion of the
doctor, who related the occurrence as
an illustration of the indomitable spirit
of the man and of the frequent dispo
sition of ambitious men to resist any
belief in the decay of their powers. Mr.
Johnson’s manner made an indellible
impression upon the mind of his inter
locutor, who was not surprised to see
his suspicions verified by news of the
ex-President’s death.

Going to Meet the Southern Regiment.
by a. o. ganiaed.
[From the Boston Evening Transcript,
June 19, 1875.]
Ho! you hobbling chap on crutches,
And you one-armed fellow there,
What’s the rush? Hold on a minute!
You’re excited, I declare!
Take it easy—take it easy;
Let my short leg have a show.
Why, the train they’re on ain’t due here
For two hours yet, I know.
“Hallo, comrade! Going to meet ’em ?
That’s the kind of talk! Fall in!
Wish the whole Potomac Army
Could be drummed in line agin.
We shall need no introduction,
We have met the boys before;
When full twice two hours they waited
On the Rappahannock shore
To give us a warm reception,
And they gave it, too, you bet;
I gave them my right hand, that day
And they’ve not returned it yet.
If they give me theirs ( his morning
We will call the matter square;
I respect brave men, old comrade,
And they showed true bravery there.
WJiat’sthe use of holding grudges?
It don't prove that they were wrong
Because we held out the longest,
Being more than twice as strong.
I believe they w r ere, and yet I
Feel in every sword a pride,
Whether swung, with honest purpose,
Un the North or Southern side.
I am proud of that brave sergeant
Who his banner rent in half,
Yielding us but a torn remnant
With the bullet-shattered staff.
Deed of victory most prophetic.
When, with hearts that leap and thrill,
Wo shall all stand ’neat h one banner,
On some future Bunker Hill;
Turning back the old World’s armies,
Asa plough turns back the sod,
Sowing seed in the deep furrows
That shall bear the peace of God ?
That will do—l hear the whistle:
Let your prophesying go—
When the future comes we’ll meet it—
Ain’t ttiey runnin’ mighty slow?
What a splendid cloud of bunting!
Don’t the old machine look gay?
Ring the bell and blow the whistle.
Hiss and sputter—cleir the way!
Gliding down the narrow passage;—
Now the crowd begins to cheer,—
Louder, till it rolls like thunder,—
Up the full streets—far and near.
From the sea of the eager faces
What a light of welcome shines;
Every bayonet glitters in it.
Down the formed and moving lines.
Welcome! welcome! brothers, welcome!
Let us vow that from to-day
All our feet shall step together
And our guns all point one way.

L lap, at the rate of 300 to 400 pounds per hour. The laps are then finished on a
TWO-BEATER LAPPER,
WITH
KITSONS PATENT EVENER
* nr w*
Attached, and owing to recent improvements in this Evener, the laps when ready for
the card, only vary one-quarter of an ounce to the yard. The cost of picking by this
system is only about one mill per pound on the cloth produced, and the picker house is
safer from fire than the card room.
jß6S"There is also a great saving of room and power over the old system.
These Machines may be seen at the mills of the Augusta Factory, Langlev Manufac •
turing Company, anu at the best mills at Lowell, Lawrence, Fall River, Manchester,
Lewiston, Providence, Richmond, Baltimore, etc., etc.
The following are a few among many testimonials which we have received:
AUGUSTA FACTORY, Augusta, Ga., July 5,1875.
The Kitson Machine Compung, Lowell, Mass.:
Gentlemen: We have been running your Compound Opener Lappers and Finisher
Lappers, with Eveners, for more than one year, and frankly say that they have given
the most eminent satisfaction. We have no hesitancy in giving you our unqualified en
dorsement, and cordially recommend your Machines. *

OFFICE LANGLEY MANUFACTURING COMPANY, {
Langley, S. C., April 14, 1873. )
The Kitson Machine Company, Lowell, Mass.:
Gentlemen: I have been running your system of Compound Opener Lappers and
Finisher Lappers, with Eveners, for more than two years past at the Cotton Mill of the
Langley Manufacturing Company, and have found it to work the most satisfactory of
asy opening and picking arrangement I have ever seen. We h ive no weighed a pound
of cotton upon the picker apron since starting, yet we have had a remarkable regularity
of numbers. The staple is not injured by over beating, and it leaves the picker without
being curled or knitted; the seeding and cleaning is very complete. Over forty per
cent, in labor in this department is saved over the old system. One of the greatest con
siderations with this arrangement is its secur ty against fire.
Yours, Ac., M. F. FOSTER, Superintendent.
office Massachusetts cotton mills, i
Lowell, February 20, 1874. j
The Kitson Machine Company, Lowell, Mass.: ...
Gentlemen : This Company have now in use twenty of your I inisner Lappers, with
Eveners, and ten Compound Opener Lappers. Some of these_ machines have been at
work for ten years or more, and have always given us satisfaction, doing a large amount
of work, doing it well, at a low cost ior labor and repairs. In our 4 Prescott Mill, ’ where
we have two Compound Opener Lappers, and four Finisher Lappers, we have averaged
the past seven weeks 39.267 lbs. Cloth weekly. Yarn averaging about No. 22. Costone
14-100 mills (.00114) per lb. of cloth. We consider them a first class machine in all re
spects. Yours very truly,
1 F. F. BATTLES, Agent.
MERRIMACK MANUFACTURING COMPANY, /
Lowell, January 23,1874. )
The Kitson Machine Company, Lowell, Mass.:
Gentlemen: We have been using some of your Compound Openei Lappers and
Finisher Lappers, with Eveners, for nearly throe years, and at present are passing* all
our cotton through them. The machines have proved satisfactory, and both in quantit y
and quality of their work have answered the expectations formed of them.
Yours respectfully, JOHN C. PALFREY, Superintendent.
