So the Sub-Electors l am fre quently solicited to furnisli speak ers to the respective counties, find 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- Wc want and urge county meetings throughout the State. i Tnos. Hardeman, Jr., Cbair’n. I. W.

Cotiibeet, Ga., Sept. 11, 1812. 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. [communicated.] 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.” New Advertisements. .

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. R. N. LEE, Planter, Haucock Cos. S- H. HOLMES. 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. 0 I aho furnish the old GRISWOLD GlN—a genuine pattern—to order, whenever desired, j GIN REPAIRING will he done to order, and is a specialty at my shop.
