Let all come up and subscribe, as
there i.s now no excuse for borrow

We hope our many friends will
lend a helping hand in endeavoring
to extend our circulation. All cf

the Executive Committee are anx
ious to do so, aiul avill respond to
all such calls as far as they are
able; but thov have not the means
to defray the expenses of the speak
ers desired. Having no “govern
mental fund” at their disposal, and
no army of office holders upon
whom they can levy contributions
for campaign purposes, it is sugges
ted, as eminently proper that those
counties desiring speakers should
pay their traveling expenses. It
Avill be but a trifle and great good
can be accomplished in this way, at
a very small expense. Counties,
therefore, desiring speakers will no
tify the Chairman or Secretary-

Editor Appeal : —l take the lib
erty to hand ymtufche annexed letter
from Gen. Eli War ren, not written
for publication. I desire that the
people of this gefctiob shill see what
a pure and nobleman, with patriot
ic ffehrt, and ripe judgment, says
it is our duty to do.
I have omitted that portion of
his letter in which he alludes to
my letters lately published in the
Telegraph A Messenger, with stiong
approval. Truly, etc.,
Herbert Fielder,
Perry, Ga., Sept. 10, 1872
My Dear /Sir :
* * * * *
Is it not wonderful that our
“straight outs,” with the.plain lights
before them, should still persist in a
course, which can result in nothing
better or worse than the election of
Grant, with his obnoxious princi
ples and still worse surroundings ?
This can be the only effect of their
conduct in the premises, if indeed
they are of sufficient strength, to
have any effect on the presidential
election at all.
I confess to you, that I have had
much sympathy for these straights,
etc. For to take Greeley was by
no means satislactory to me at first.
I now though, take him cheerfully,
because I greatly prefer him with
the company he keeps, to Grant,
and the company he keeps; and be
cause too, our highest party tribu
nals, State and National, if I may so
express it, recommend the support
of Greeley and Drown. But the
time has come, with political devel
opments with it, when I think all
Democrats should unite in carrying
out the wishes of our party, express
ed. so fully, and so emphatically,
and with such unanimity too —by
our conventions both State and Na
tional. And Ido not think there
is one in a thousand, I hope not in
ten thousand, of our friends, but
what will, by November next, deem
it his" patriotic duty to vote for
Greeley and Brown. I will there
fore cheerfully do it.
If Grant is elected, I shall lose
all hope of maintaining constitu
tional government in this country,
ail hope of preserving the rights of
the States, the privilege of the writ
of habeas corpus, and all hope too
that the people will be governed by
said: government. I look upon his
election as being the establishment
of a firm foundation for a.most des
potic military central government,
having no guarantees for the protec
tion of the lives, the liberty, or the
property of the people. And enter
tainjng as I do these opinions, these
fears, and these apprehensions, I find
it very easy to lay aside, give up
all previous prejudices and partiali
ties, and to forget and forgive every
thing that is passed, and unite with
any and all, no matter how much
heretofore opposed—who will aid
me, or allow me to aid them, in
our efforts to rescue the country
from the dangers and the ruin that
in my opinion will follow the re elec
tion of Gran', with his corrupt sur
roundings.
But please pardon all this. I-.only
sat down to thank you . lor writing
so ably on these subjects, and not
by any means to say anything
about them in my poor way myself.
I am, truly yours,
Eli Warren.
Col. 11. Fielder, Cuthbert, Ga.
den. 31. 33. Clayton.
This distinguished Alabamian,
was in Cuthbert on Tuesday last,
and was warmly greeted by our
people.
Ilis address to the people in be
half of tire Agricultural Associa
tion of South east Ala., and South
west Ga., and the proposed fair at
Eufaula, was graceful, forcible, and
sound, and was every way worthy
the true and noble man that he is,
and of the great cause in which be
spoke. lie demonstrated that this
is the paramount and all-controll
ing interest of the country. And
that the sections of the two States
adjacent to each other, by reason of
similarity of climate, soil, produc
tions, and modes of culture; as
well as the character, habits and
modes of life of the people, have a
common interest and ought to
make common cause in the great
enterprise of elevating and improv
ing agriculture. .Randolph.
llersciiel V. Johnson.— This
distinguished Georgian was written
to by a “Straight” in Columbus
about the Louisville Convention.
This is part of his reply : «
“J respect your opinions and can
fully appreciate the patriotic feel
ings which prompt the Louisville
movement. I do not approve it,
but I am not at liberty to question
its sincerity, mueh- less to censure.
I deplore all schism among South
ern people, especially the people of
Georgia. If it were in my power
I would exorcise forever the words
of crirninatien and recrimination,
that we might all be linked in the
bonds of brotherhood, tolerate hon
est differences of opinion, and cov
er each other’s faults with the veil
of charity. This is the lesson
taught by common ruin and com
mon sorrow.”
Cuthbert, Sept. 11, 1812.
Editor Appeal: —Gen. W right,
our candidate for Congress, has ap
pointed Wednesday the 25 inst, to
speak at this place. And as we
contemplate a grand Mass Meeting
here prior to the election, I as a
member of the State ex-committee,
have consulted Judge Kiddoo, and
Judge Clarke, the chairmen of the
county and district committees,
and with many citizens, and it has
been thought to be the most suita
ble occasion for the Mass Meeting.
A number of distinguished per
sons have been invited, among
them Gov. Smith, Ex-Governor
Brown, Gen. Gordon, Martin J.
Crawford, Dr. H. V. M. Miller and
Col. Tom Hardeman. All the
great issues and consequences in
volved in this struggle will be fully
prevented, and all the people who
desire it, will have a fair opportuni
ty of comprehending the impor
tance and nature of the canvass.
And as the people of this and ad
jaccnt counties, have not been call
ed together in any general meeting
since the war, 1 suggest, that we
provide a barbecue, and extend the
invitation to all the surrounding
country. And that we have a gen
eral and cordial rally of the people.
We now have all our candidates
in the field, for President, Con
gress, Governor, and Legislature.—
For the latter many good men were
spoken of. But few seemed to de
sire it or be willing to serve—and
whatever may be said in favor of
others, had they been chosen, noth
ing can be said against Coleman
and Harris. They are men of ripe
years and cool judgement—men of
intelligence, integrity and solid
worth, with many warm friends
and no personal enemies so far as I
know. They arc our candidates?
and no good reason can be given,
why they should not be warmly
and unanimously supported. •
Truly, your fiieud,
Herbert Fielder.
Tiie Dirty Work of It. H.
Wiiiteley.— The Radical carpet
bagger who has been nominated for
re-election to Congress by his party
of the 2nd District of Georgia, is
engaged in the dishonest and disre
putable business of franking copies
of Harper’s caricature representing
Horace Greeley exulting over the
misery of Southern women and
children—-the caricature to winch
was attached the sentence com
mencing “When the rebellious trait
ors are overwhelmed,” etc., which
was falsely ascribed to Mr. Gree
ley, and which the N. Y. Tribune
says was not written by him, but by
a present supporter ot Grant.—
Whitely, of course, does not send
this circular to his negro support
ers, but only to white Democrats
whom he hopes to deceive and ex
cite by such means. The copy
which wc saw, franked by him,
was sent to a gentleman whom he
supposed to be a “ Bourbon” Dem
ocrat. The infamous character of
this caricature has been sufficient
ly exposed. Wc only allude to the
matter to say that Whitely is en
gaged in abusing his Congressional
privileges by franking it.— Colum
bus Enquirer.
Good Eaitii op the Liberal Re
publican.—“Ogeechee” correspond'
ent of the Morning News, writing
from Atlanta, pays:
The Liberal Republicans in North
Georgia, from all I cau hear, are ac
ting m good faith. They' not only
support Greeley and Brown, but
they are working, for them, and for
the Democratic State ticket gener
ally. This, lam assured, is true
also of such leading Liberals as ex-
Gov. Brown ; Dr. Angicr, State
Treasurer; Mr. Cutting, Secretary
of State, and Madison Bell, Comp
troller General. The last named
gentleman reports almost entire
unanimity in the Northern counties
among those who have hitherto act
ed with the Republicans, but who
are now united in support of the
Democratic nominees, State and Na
tional. The same remark will ap
ply to the Northwestern counties.
With the exception of a personal
friend or client, the Radical candi
date for Governor will receive but
few white votes.
How Grant’s Party Takes it.
Washington, Sept. 6.—There is
a good deal of amusement in conser
avative circles at the result of the
Louisville Convention, while the
Reform party are allowed to lau<rh
also.
The Grant leaders who bolstered
up the’silly and preposterous busi
ness, and invested large sums of
money in it as a possible good card
to play against Greeley, are very
sorehead at the unqualified fizzle
Duncan & Cos. made of it. The
idea of a convention that could .not
present but one man for its suffrage
and were obliged to insist upon ta
king him after he had refused in
most pointed language to run, illus
trates how stupid the Grant party
was to have had anything to do
with it. As it is, they get credit
for having engaged underhanded in
the thinnest piece of electioneering
clap-trap ever recorded.— Macon
Enterprise.
Univertity op Georgia.— The
next session will commence Monday
September 10th. It will embiace
the Academic, State College and
Law Departments, and each student
should, if possible, report on the
first day of the session. Tiie exami
nation for admission into the State
Agricultural College will take place
early in the session. Board in the
College—the students furnishing
their own rooms—will be §12,50
per month—payable three months
in advance.— Maeoii Telegraph.

Dawson, Ga., Sept. 9. 1812.
Mr. Editor :—ln justice to the
Defiance Base Ball Club, of Daw
son, please publish in your valua
ble paper, a short* reply to “Um-
communication in your last,
in regard to the game played be
tween us and the Albert Sidney
Base Ball Club, of Wards Station.
He says that he must declare the
game as forfeited by the Defiance,
or as unfinished, and the Albert
Sidneys’ entitled to re-enter and
finish the game. We would like
very much for it to be understood
that we are free from any such lia
bility, and submit the following
facts to prove our position : The
Defiance had gone to the bat for
the last time, and the Albert Sid
neys were playing their last, and one
man had been put out. The 2nd
and 3rd bases were l’espectively oc
cupied, when the batsman struck a
fair ball, which was declared foul
by the Umpire. The 2nd and 3rd
bases were each vacated by the
base-runners, and after the ball had
been settled in the hands of the
Picher, he threw it to 3rd baseman,
and he to 2nd, and both runners
were declared out. The score was
counted and signed by the Umpire
and Scorers.
The Albert Sidneys were dissat
isfied, and we refused to receive
the ball, but after being entreated
by them and the Umpire, we re
ceived it, and parted friendly.
Before he can sustain the declar
ation in your paper, wo would like
to have answers to the following
questions: Why did he not make
this declaration on the grounds ?
Why did he declare the two men
out on a wrong decision of his own ?
Why did he allow us, and even
implore us to receive the ball ?
Why did he affix his signature to
the score ? Why did he say that
lie would rather have lost SSO than
to have made the decision he did.
Wo can only say that we deeply
deplore the Umpire’s communica
tion, and think the Albert Sidneys
do also, for they requested us to
extend them another challenge,
which, should they subscribe to the
Umpire’s communication, we could
not do, for we would thus sacrifice
our dignity as an organization.
J. W. Weston, Pres’t.
J. M. Edwards, Cap’t,
W. B. Cheatham, Sec’y.
The North Carolina Fraud.—
Some days ago (says the Philadel
phia Age) we published a statement
in relation to the manner in which
colored men were conveyed from
Washington to North Carolina and
voted in that State for Caldwell
and his Radical colleagues. That
statement was denied by the jour
nals of that renominationist. But
the denial is now met by the fact
that the Liberal Republican Com
mittee in Washington has now in
its possession the affidavits of over
fifty colored men who voted in that
State at the last election. Hun
dreds more of like documents can
be • procured if necessary. But
enough are on hand to show the
manner in which Caldwell was re
turned on paper, and justify the
Legislature in giving Judge Merri
mon iliC -legal return. That the
latter was legally cieb!. e d is no long
er a matter of doubt or dispute
among intelligent men of either
party iii North Carolina. Prepara
tions are making to contest the re
turn for Mr. Caldwell when the
Legislature meets, and the result of
that action will bo the unearthing
of most monstrous frauds on ’ tiie
part of the Gratuities, and the in
auguration of Judge Merrimon as
Governor of North Carolina.
The Price of Cotton.—We
learn from Edwards & -Co.’s (Liv
erpool) last circular., the following
facts in relation to tho cotton crop
this fall. We hope cotton planters
wiH not be disappointed in realizing
a good price:
“The increased machinery of the
world will need five per cent, more
or say 3,700,000 bales to feed it this
coming season, and it may fairly be
presumed that this quantity will go
into consumption at the average
price of the last two years, say 9|.,
and, therefore, we do not think a
crop of even four millions will be
able to reduce the averaged price
below 9d. to 9id. for middling Or
leans, nor do we think that such a
price can be reached till the weight
of it is felt in European markets.”
Southern Deliverance.— The
editor of the Savannah Republican,
who is in New York, says the Dem
ocrats there wonder that in Geor
gia “So sulky an acceptance of the
verdict of the Baltimore Conven
tion (I quote their language)
“should have been maifested in a
leading Southern State towards a
candidate who had staked himself
ou the deliverance of the South.”
Four counties in this State —
Dodge, Douglas, Rockdale, and
McDuffie—are without representa
tion in the Legislature. The num
ber of members having been estab
lished by the constitution, it will
require a change in that instrument
before these counties will be enti
tled to members of the Lower
House.
The Bainbridge Democrat hoists
the name of B. F. Bruton for the
Senate, in opposition to the regular
ly nominated candidate of the Dem
ocratic party, Colonel Gee.
It helps the growth of a beet to
nip off the end of its tap-root at
the time of transplanting.
Cieorgia Pres® C’osivciitson.
The following resolutions were
adopted at the recent convention of
the State press at Atlanta :
Whereas, The late Legislature
most signally failed to recognize
the services of the press and the
rights of its members as citizens of
Georgia by according to them that
consideration justly due it; and
whereas, it refused to pass several
bills prepared at the instance of the
Press Convention, for the common
benefit of its members, therefore
Be it resolved by the press of
Georgia in Convention assembled,
That we earnestly deprecate the
course of the late Legislature, and
especially of the Senate in refusing
to legislate in behalf of newspaper
interests, upon a just and equitable
basis.
Resolved, That we strongly con
demn the action of a Legislature,
first in the history of Georgia to
impose a tax upon the press, utter
ly ignoring its efforts in behalf of
liberty, education, good govern
ment, civilization and Christianity,
and the general interests of the peo
ple and State.
Resolved, That in defeating the
bill regulating the matter of legal ad
vertisements, the Legislature acted
capriciously and unreasonably, as
said bill affected, chiefly, publish
ers and their rights, and did not in
fringe upon the rights or legal in
terests of others.
Resolved, That we express our
unfeigned astonishment at the
course of certain Senators in going
beyond legitimate argument in de
nunciation of the press, and that
we pledge ourselves to hold up to
just censure any public man so far
behind the times and age in which
he lives, as to deny the press its
proper aqd rightful rank among the
grand foremost agencies of progress
and civilization.
Resolved, That we regard the
newspaper as an individuality, as
an institution, separate and apart
from either proprietors or conduc
tors, with an existence all its own,
and as such wielding an influence
greater than any single person or
set of persons, and second to none
in the land, and certainly not inferi
or to that of many men in public
station, notoriously elevated to their
position by the power of the press.
Resolved, That the committees
appointed at the last semi-annual
meeting of the Association *to su-
porintend the various press inter
ests needing legislation, are hereby
instructed to push them .before the
incoming Legislature in January
next, and publish their report on
tax as soon as possible; and that
we, members of the press of Geor
gia, in Convention assembled, do
hereby determine to assert our
rights with one common voice, and
pledge our individual and profes
sional influence and energies in aid
of the before mentioned commit
tees, and in their efforts to secure
those rights.
' Resolved, That the press of the
State be requested to publish these
resolutions and the forthcoming re
port of lire tax committee.
The resolution was read seriatim,
aud was adopted.
Mr. Clark offered the following
resolution, which was adopted :
Resolved, That the thanks of
this Association are due and arc
hereby cordially tendered to Gov.
Smith and those legislators who
have nobly advocated the just
claims of the jiross.
The American Colion
Crop.
From both the English and
American tablets of cotton statistics
it, appears that the American cotton
crop is rapidly attaining its fomer
position in the commerce of the
world. Our exports to England
were only about 089,900 cwt. less
than in 1860. During 1871 the im
ports of American cotton in Great
Britain were 15,068,955 cwt., and
from British India 0.898,905 cwt.,
showing an excess from the United
States during tho last two years of
8,770,0-19 cwt. The most impor
tant point established by these re
turns is that tiie staple industry of
the South has revived, and is likely
to prosper mors uoder free labor
than under the fomer system of sla
very. The problem now to be
solved in the South is Dot that of
producing cotton cheap with labor
free, but of improving the methods
of agriculture and cheapening the
cost of handling and of transporta
tion. The demand has not yet been
fully met, and the time will proba
bly com? within a few years when
the South will find a ready and
profitable market for five or six mil
lions of bales ; hence the necessity
of a demand on the part of South
ern planters for a reduction of trans
portation. Land is cheap and abun
dant ; and if the cost of labor and
carriage could be reduced, the
South would soon recover her
former supremacy in the cotton
markets of the world. It is esti
mated that Texas alone contains
land capable of producing 15,000,-
000 bales of cotton annually, and
that is considerably more than is
consumed at present by the whole
civilized world.
Bullock Writes a Piece.— The
absconding former Expresslegency of
Georgia has a two and a half col
umn in the New York Times. It is
an attempted defense of his rule in
Goergia and trashy praise of Grant
and carpet bagism. It attacks
Democrats generally. He says the
people and.Legislatiiro are control'
led by General Toombs and the
Ku-Klux. lie makes himself and
his gang of thieves patterns of hon
or and honesty, who only labored
for the good of Georgia. It is a
collection of the most impudent gas,
first-class lies, brazen'assurance and
Grant fawning, intermixed with silly
twaddle.— Ex
The Supreme Court of Virginia
has decided that the Homestead
law is in violation of the Constitu
tion of the United States in its re
troactive features, since to apply it
to contracts made before the law
was passed would be “impairing
the obligation of contracts.”

Having now complete and all my improvements to the IMPROVED SAWYER’ Gfx, wrfti
curved ribs, and a perfectly adjustable Roll Box, both at the top and bottom, giving the Plan
ter perfect control of the depth of saw, and the eutire operation of the Gin, adapting-it to the
condition of his cotton, and the degree of perfection which he desires to maintain in the sta
ple, I now CHALLENGE THE \Y ORLD to produce a Gin more perfect in its operation, or
be ter adapted to meet all the wants ot the Planter. I claim that my Gin, properly managed,
will maintain the full natural lenglh of the staph, and may also be ma te to do as rapid work
as any machine in Use. This Gin lias been witnessed in operation by several parties, some of
whom have given me the following certificates :

At the request of Mr. I'. G. Sawyer, we have examined the Gins in his gin shop in this
city, and have also seen one of them running. We have no hesitancy in saying we believe
them well made and perfectly durable, ami that they will give our Flamers satisfaction.
We think it the duty ot Planters, and others interested, to patronize our young men or the
South, and particularly when they do as well as Northern manufactories

Mr. P. C. Sawyer, Macon, Ga. : Macon, Ga , May 9, 1872.
Dkar Sir— I have witnessed the performance ot one of your Improved Gins, and can
safely pronounce it excellent, and luliy adapted to the wants of our Farmers. The improve
ments jon have given it over other Gins, gives jou superior claims to its consideration. Its
stringing front with adjustable box, both top and bottom, adds greatly to its nraise and
worth, as with tnat it is utterly impossible to break the roll ; and that the shape of tile ribs
being in perfect shape with the roll, necessarily increased length to the staple,-and in
deed that which I witnessed was fully equal to its natural length, and which alone makes it
pre-eminently worthy of the consideration of all practical Farmers. Wishing you success in
your land.thle Southern undertaking, I am, very respectfully, YV. A. COLLINS,
Os the firm of Collins, Flanders & Cos., Cotton Factors, Macon, Ga.
We, the undersigned, having witnessed the same, fully endorse the above statement.

O
SAWYER’S IMPROVED OOTTuN GINS.—Mr. P. O. Sawyer presents Ins Improved
Cotton Gin to the public this summer under a firm persuasion that Jte has at last attained the
uc plus ultra, and that this Gin accomplishes every thing practicable to a .Saw Gin, with the
greatest possible ease, economy and rapidity. His improved ribs and roll box maintain a per
fect circle for t he roll, so that it is impossible to break it, crowd the boxes as yon will iu an
attempt to do so. The roll box, adjustable both at top and bottom, enables the operator to
bring the ribs to any angle wiili, or position in relation to the saws lie desires, so as to in
crease or diminish at, pleasure the depth of the operating surface ol the saws iu the roll, aud
thus make the machine gin raster or slower, with cleaner or fouler seed, and with more or
less regard to the length ot staple. The writer saw anew Gin in opetatin, which had not
even been painted, and an expert present showed by comparing the slat.le pulled from the
seed by the fingers with that produced by the Gin, that the natural length ol the fit,re had not
oeen dimiuLlu-d at all in the process of ginning. This is, of course, the best perfotmance of
which any Gin is capable. The cotton in this case Was very dry, and it is doubtful whether
so perfect a result could be attained with green cotton. But Sawyer staked his refutation
upon proHucii glht? same result with green cotton. The Gin has also some other improve
ments in the running gear, which we have not space to mention.—Macon Telegraph and
Messenger, May 12, 1872.
