Don’t forget the day.
According to the September re
port of the Department of Agricul
ture, there is a decline in the pros
pects of the cotton crop' during
-August, iu consequence of the rav
•ages of the caterpillar, in portions
of several of the principal cotton
States, and of the prevalence of a
drought in Texas. The prospect of
the entire cotton area, which has
favored a yield of five per cent, larg
er than an average product, now
piomises about ten per cent, less
than an average. But the increased
acreage and unfavorable season last
.year still indicate a material in
crease in tbe total crop of 1872,
though an extension of insect rava
ges or early frost may modify the
present expectation.

Georgia. Legislation. —The
.Baltimore Sun thus speaks approv
ingly of recent Georgia legislation :
The Legislature of Georgia has
passed a law exempting from taxa
tion, either county or municipal,
for a period of two years, all cotton
and woolen mills that may be built
-in that State. The exemption in
■cludes tfie real estato, buildings,
■machinery, and other property em
ployed iu the business. The State
is already prospering more than,
any other of those lately in rebell
ion, and this wise measure will
■doubtless give a fresh impulse to
the development of its manufactur
ing resources.

speaking of the close of the post
office in that place, concludes ihus :
Oh, aint it nice, to live in a town
22 miles from a postoffice. Who
wouldn’t vote for Greeley ?

Our Candidate for Gov
ernor.
James .Milton Smith was
born and raised in Monroe—spent
the remainder of his life until
since the war in Upson county,
and removed thence to Columbus
where ho was residing when called
by the people to the Executive of
fice of the State. His wife is sis
ter to our esteemed fellow-citizen
Col. John T. Brown.
He is of large intellectual endow
ment by nature, an able and suc
cessful lawyer by long training,
practice and self-cultivation, a gen
tleman by instinct, and an honest
man by right of inheritance, and
has never bartered away his birth
right.
In an address before the Mass
meeting last week at Atlanta—Hon.
Robt. P. Tripple whom Georgia so
long honored, stated that he had
known him intimately for upwards
of forty years, and that he had nev
er known him guilty of any act of
personal dishonor, or for which his
friends had cause to be ashamed.
He entered the late war as a vol
unteer and had risen by gradation
to the command of the old 13th
Regiment after the fall ■of the la
mented Douglass. He was disa
bled in the service and was after
wards a member of the Confeder
ate Congress.
His administration of the affairs
of Georgia, since ho was installed
in January last, has given such gen
eral satisfaction, that his nomina
tion was unanimous and by accla
mation.
His opponent is Dawson A. Walk
er, who has been a. respectable man,
but who has become a Grant Radi
cal under patronage from Washing
ton, and who now is in full fellow
ship with, and the nominee of that
party, openly defending Grant and
advising his people to vote for him.
Our Candidate lor Con
gress.
Other good men were proposed—
but now that he is unanimously
nominated. Gen. G. J. Wright is
the wrighl man, in the icright place.
He is in the full vigor of man
hood being now about forty-six or
seven years of age. He was born,
and grew up, in Guinnet county. —
In youth ho quoted danger agd en
dured hardships $n our country
struggle with Mexico. He eutered
the late lost cause as. a privato vol
unteer rose to the rank of Briga
dier, and was at the front when the
final surrender came.
His early professional career was
among the able men of Western
Georgia, residing in Carroll county.
For the last twelve or fifteen years
he has resided at Albany, where he
holds high rank in tho legal profes
sion, and is without reproach, a
citizen and gentleman.
He was a good soldier, is an able
lawyer, a boon companion, a true
gentleman, and patriot. He is tbe
man we should elect, and the man
we shall never have cause to be
ashamed of when placed in office.
His opponent is Richard 11.
Whitely, the nominee of the Grant
Radical convention of the District
the man to whom Rufns B. Bul
lock issued the certificate of elec
tion, when the returns showed-clear
ly that Tift was elected—and who
has been holding the office for two
years under Radical sanction when
our candidate was fairly elected,
the man who sanctions and upholds
that ruthless party at Washington
and would reinstall it in this State.
Our Candidates for Legls
ture.
It is unnecessary to tell the
people of Randolph county who
William Coleman and Charles A.
Harris arc. They live among us,
are identified with all the interests
of our city and our section. They
are men of steady habits, attentive
to busines, intelligent, and of irre
proachable integrity and honesty.
They are our nominess—our candid
ates, and will be warmly supported.
Their opponents are Henry Hays
and Thomas R. Stewart, who are
also known to the people—and
against whom we have no personal
denunciation. They are the nom
inees of tho Grant wing of the Rad
ical party of Rio coyn’ty, nominated
last Saturday by a conventtou pf
that party held iu tho City Hall. —
They are here aud can speak for
themselves, and explain to the peo
ple where they stand and which
side they are on.
If they intend to vote and act
with us, they certainly can’t do the
business any better, than Coleman
and Harris, aud* in that case the
Grant colored men who' nominated
them can’t have much prefferenoe
for them. If they intend to vote
and act with the Grant party here
and in the Legislature they can’t
expect our people to vote for them.
We have a United States Senator
to Elect next session. We have to
uphold the State Government. We
don’t want it put back in the hands
of Radicals. We must be allowed
to vote for men whose position is
known and certain.
This we say in candor and good
temper, and without any ill-feeling
to our friends who we think have
listened to unwise counsel, and been
misled bv it.
To tlie Democratic Par
ty ot Georgia.
Macon, September 23, 1872.
On the second day of October
next a battle will be # fought in Geor
gia, that will decide whether you
will be freemen or slaves. The re
sult thereof will depend upon yoar
own will and bearing. Radicalism
has marshaled her forces for the
conflict and is confident of victory.
The enemy must be met and driven
from the field. Victory is sure if
you discharge your duty—defeat
awaits you if you are laggard and
inactive. Woqld you save your
State from misrule and oppression ?
Go to* the polls. Would you pre
vent Radical usurpation and carpet
bag tyranny? Go to the polls.
W ould you have sound legislation
and constitutional rule ? Go to the
polls. Would you have crime pun
ished and your State laws adminis
tered? Go to the polls. Would
you prevent your people from be
ing burdened with a debt of seven
millions of dollars, now pressed by
hungry bond holders? Go to the
polls. Would you have a Govern
or that will protect your treasury,
pjractic economy, execute your laws,
lighten your taxes, encourage your
industiral pursuits, foster your
common schools, elevate your State.
Again I say, go to the polls. Let
nothing keep you at home when
yoar interests are at stake and your
liberties in jeopardy. Rely not up
on your success in the past. The
army, strong in numbers, may suf
fer defeat when the effective force
is diminished by hospital attendants
and idle camp-followers. Arm your
sick, carry your lame to the . field
and your aged to the trenches and
urge each and all to engage actively
in the struggle, and a glorious vie*
tory awaits you. Apathy may
cause defeat—and straggling, a dis
aster. Up, then, and to duty, for
all you hold dear, aa a people, de
pends upon the result of the' conflict.
Arouse your dormant energies j'Tor
danger threatens you. Bury petty
divisions, and, with locked shields,
go forth to battle against the plun
ders of your treasury, the oppress
ors of your people, the hungry
horde who have waxed fat upon
your earnings, and who are seeking
again “to rob you in tbe name of
loyalty, and tyrannize over you
under the guise of liberty.”
No business plea should justify
your absence from your post on
election day. Go yourselves, and
carry your neighbors and frieufis.
Duty demands it, safety requires it.
The eyes of the Democracy of the
Union are turned toward you—fal
ter not—but strike as men, bat
tling for the right, for home and al
tar —and victory is yours, A suc
cess in Georgia will encourage the
armies upon other fields, who with
you are struggling for constitutional
government and the rights of the
State. In the name of an oppressed
and impoverished people, in the
name of subverted laws, of violated
justice, of tarnished honor, I in
voke you, my countrymen, in be
half the committee I represent—to
go forth to the conflict determined
to route your enemies and secure
a victory (brilliant and decisive)
for Governor Smith, our worthy
standard bearer, and the gallant
men who with him, are batling for
your rights, your interest and your
honor. Again 1 say—to the polls
—to the polls—and victory is
yours.

Kew York, September 29. —A
letter from London of September
17 sqys: “We are favored here
with the presence of ex-Governor
Bullock, of Georgia, who was not
long since notorious for pocketing
seven millions of bonds of Georgia.
Last week two Washington officials
called on the ex-Goveruor. Two
or three of our eminent lawyers and
a magistrate were soon engaged.
These worthies are called a com
mission, and are holding sessions
now. Privacy, as secret as the Ge
neva tribunal, has so far been main
tainad, The agencies of the Grant
party seem to have made a white
washing of Bullock and Blodgett
necessary. The Governor lives in
one of the finest suburban residen
ces about this city. His house is
furnished magnificently, his turnout
is unsurpassed, and he says he has
concluded to make London his

Redemption op Mutilated Cur
rency.— Washington , Sept. 20.
—The following is an extract from
a letter written by Generanl Spin
ner to-day on tbe subject of redemp
tion of mutilated currency under
the act of June 8, 1872, and in
structions of the Poetoffice Depart
ment.
“It is the duty of every postmas :

scribed by law, but without pay
'ment of any registration fee, all let

currency of the United States, de
livered to'him for '.mailing to tbe
Treasury of the United States for

may forward defaced and mutila

New York, Boston, Philadelphia
or New Orleans, without risk or
expense, and with no loss of time
beyound that required to convey
and count their remittances.
A Soldier of the Revolution. —
The last surviving Revolutionary
soldier has come to the surface
again, this time in Tennessee. He
is 11.8 years of age, and came to
Nashville recently, accompanied
by his four children, the youngest
being 75. He came after pension
mouey, which had been accumu
lating for a long time, and he has
now a nice little sum to begin life
with.
Columbus is to have a business

A. T. Clark of Montgomery.
Joseph E. Brown.
From a lengthy letter to the
lion. John I. Hall, of Thomaston,
Ga., written by Joseph E. Brown,
in which he briefly yet fairly re
views the past and present politi
cal situation, we extract the follow
ing in reference to his views on the
election next week, and the Presi
dential campaign:
You inquire specially what -vill
be our action in tire Gubernatorial
election. I reply that I not ac-1
lively engaged in politics, and have
no authority to speak for others;
but I expect to give my support to
Gov. Smith as the Greeley and
Brown candidate. It seems to me
this is the only consistent course I
can pursue. And in this connec
tion, I feel that justice requires I
should remark, that the Grant con
vention, in the nomination of the
Hon. Dawson A. Walker, selected
the very best man of their party in
the State. I am his personal friend,
and I believe he is mine. Our ac
quaintance has beeu long and inti
mate, and I know him to be an hon
est, capable man, who would fill the
fosition ably and well, if elected.—
f he were the Liberal candidate, it
would afford me great pleasure to
support bim. While I deem it an
act of j ustice to say this in refer
ence to Judge Walker I claim
equal integrity, ability and capaci
ty for Governor Smith. As he is
the nominee of the party iVlio sup
ports. Greeley and Brown, and in
his letter of acceptance pledges
himself individually to their sup
port; while Judge Walker is the
nominee of the Grant and Wilson
party, and is pledged to their sup
port; it seems to me to be the nat
ural course, for all wtio desire the
election of Greeley and Brown, to
east their suffrage for Gov. Smith.
His eleotion will be hailed by the
Democratsand Liberal Republicans
of the- Union as a Greeley and
Brown triumph in Georgia ; while
the election of Judge Walker
would be hailed as a Grant and
Wilson triumph.
Pressing business engagements
prevent me from entering into an
elaborate discussion of the politi
cal questions involved in the pres
ent canvass. Suffice it to say that
I shall support Horace Greeley,
not upon his past record but upon
his present position, and his ac
knowledged ability, honesty and
integrity; in the firm belief that
he will, when elected, give the
country an honest, economical, old
fashioned administration of the
government. And that he will do
all in his power to restore harmony
and fraternal relations between the
different sections of the Union.—
My opinion is, th?it he will not per
mit extreme men on either side to
control tl»e policy of his adminis
tration. And in this I believe he
will have the cordial co-operation
of the Vice President to be elected
on the same ticket, who is eminent
ly fitted for the high position for
which he has been placed in nomi
nation before the American people.
Somthing for Letter Writers
—Double Postage. —The contin
ual changes in the postal laws of
the country require persons to keep
continually on the qui vive, or else
to run the risk of having their cor
respondence quietly dumped into
the dead letter office.
• Under the old law the rate of
postage for mail matter was three
cents per half ounce for letters, and
the regulation provided that in case
the requisite number of stamps to
pay the full postage was not at
tached to a letter, the postmaster
at the place of destination was re
quired to collect the remainder. —
For instance, if a letter which
weighed one ounce only had a
three cent stamp attached, it went
on to its destination and the remain
ing three ceqts due upon it was
collected there. The law in this
respect has been materially changed.
Under a decision of the Post Office
authorities postmasters are required
to collect double amount which re
mains unpaid. Double postage is
also of course to be collected on
wholly unpaid matter which may
by chance reach the office of desti
nation. This is under the new
Code, section 152. Letter writers
and business men will avoid much
confusion in future by bearing in
mind the new law on the subject.
One single cartoon of Nast has
probably done the Republican party
more damage than all the others
that have proceded from his pro
lific and unscrupulous pencil have
benefited it. This is the picture in
which the figure of Uncle Sam is
repiesented as speaking to Carl
Schurz, and saying, “ If you do not
like tho country, there is no law
which compels you to stay. The
conductors of Harper’s Weekly,
when they published this malignant
and proscriptive carricature, did
not take into account the sensitive
nature of the Germans, the respect
that even those of that nationality
have for Carl Schurz who do not
agree with him politically, and the
fact that the insult would include
all the adopted citizens of America.
That they have felt outraged by it
is proved by the bitter comments
of the German press. The French
papers have lately united, also, in a
common protest. A few more such
cartoons and a wider dissemination
of Seuator Wilson’s oath on joining
a Know-Nothing lodge, as well as
his friendly letters to Know-Noth
ing leaders, and the foreign vote
cast for General Grant will be
small indeed.— Baltimore Gazette.
We are advised by telegraph
that the “straights” of Indiana
have nominated a State ticket of
their own. But they appear to be
as unfortunate in their State as in
their national nominations. Mr.
Edgerton, their nominee for Gov
ernor of Indiana, has just publish
ed his determination to support
Greeley and Brown, and an in ;lig
nant disclaimer of any connection
whatever with the bolting move
ment.

ID*. Greeley’s Speech at
Lancaster.
Lancaster, Pa., Sept. IS
Horace Greeley left New York on
a special train to-day to visit the
Indiana State Agricultural I air to
morrow. At all points where the
train stopped enthusiastic crowds
congregated to do nim honor. On
arrival here an immense assemblage
gathered in and around the depot.
The train stopped but fifteen min
utes, and from the balcony of the
Caldwell House he spoke as fol
lows :
Fellow Citizens -. You see before
you one who is just now the object
of much vituperative denunciation.
It is proclaimed that I have been a
secessionist, Know Nothing and
even a . negre-trader. Whatever
seems likely to procure prejudice
against me is freely uttered, without
any regard to truth. I have been
repeatedly asked to refute these ca-
but have thought it best
not to attempt to do so, inasmuch
as any deniul I might make would
fail to silence the tongue of slander.
lam one of those who believe
that political parties ought not to
be permitted to exist too long in a
government such as ours; that they
should flourish aud pass away when
they have subserved the purpose
for which they were created. I
do not believe that this country
would continue to flourish long un
der the exclusive control of any
political party of Scheming and cor
rupt politicians ; seizing upon the
organizations of political parties,
they soon learn to run the machine,
as say, aud take good care to
run it so that all the oil drips into
their pockets. I trust that we shall
see frequent changes of parties in
f his couutry. What we most need
just now is that independent spirit
which leads men in their love of
country to rise superior to all ties
of party. lam free to confess, and
in no way ashhmed to admit, that
my party associations are not the
same that they were some years ago.
The dangers which threatened our
nation in the past are gone. We
struggled and suffered together to
preserve the Union of these Sates,
and not in the next hundered years
will any attempt to divide it be
made. What is needed now is such
a Government as will enable all
parts of the country .to reap the
furits of victory. We want gen
uine peace and complete restoration
of fraternal relations. It is time
tor us to forget.. In our local State
and National Governments this is
the great work now set before. It
is for you to say through what in
strumentalities this can be accom
plished.
Amidst tremendous cheers M.r.
Greeley bowed to the people 'and
proceeded westward.
Pocket Dictionaty. —Webster’s
Pocket Dictionary, in its present
shape, is a great improvement over
all previous edition's and all similar
works. In the first place it is neat
ly printed, and bound in morocco,
with gilt edges. Then it contains
200 pictorial illustrations, which
give a much clearer idea of the
meaning of many words than could
possibly be conveyed by the usual
definition. The-little volume,' while
being no lai-ger than an ordinary
pocket-book, embraces in its vocab
ulary a careful selection of over 13,-
000 of tlie most important words
of the language, . with definitions
sufficiently clear, though necsssarily
brief, to meet the ordinary, wants
of any one requiring ’its use. Pre
fixed to tho , work are tables of
money, weight and measures, abbre
viations, words and phrases from
foreign languages, rules for spelling,
explanations, etc. It is iu fact a
most valuable little book, and is
doubly worth the dollar it costs. It
is very beautifully and substantially
bound, with tucks and gilt edges.
The Publishers, Ivison, Blakeman,
Taylor & Cos., 138 and 140 Grand
Street, New York, will forward it
by mail on receipt of One Dollar
or it can be bought almost any
vvhare.
Payment of Cost of Advertise
ments in Advance, — We beg leave
to call the attention of county offi
cers and others interested, to the
following act passed by the last
Legislature, entitled an act to re
quire the payment of cost in certain
cases:
Section 1. Be it enacted by the
General Assembly, That from and
after tbe passage of this act, no
sheriff or deputy sheriff in this State
shall be required to advertise the
property of any defendant in fi. fa,
for sale until the cost of such adver
tisement shall have been first paid
by the plaintiff in fi. fa., his 3gent
or attorney; provided, that when
any such party plaintiff, or his agent
or attorney for him, shall make and
file an ' affidavit in writting, that
owing to his poverty he is unable
to pay such cost, then it shall be
the duty of said sheriff or his depu*
ty to proceed as now required by
law.
Section 2 repeals conflicting laws.
Approved August 24th, 1872.
Col. Carey \V. Styles writes
from Atlanta to his paper, the Al
bany News, as follows: “Col
Jack Brown seated in my presence,
to-night, that he intends to oppose
Gen. Phil. Cook for Congress, and
that he has not a solitary doubt of
his success. He further states,
with emphasis, ‘I would see the
Democratic party, Georgia and the
whole county in Hell, before I would
vote for Greeley.’ Os course such
heroic firminess and sublimated pa
triotism will be secured to the ser
vice of the country by the voters of
•the 4th District.”
The Sumpter Republican says
that the deputy sheriff of the coun
ty was busy all day Tuesday iu
serving writs against the property
holders of tho larger portion of
Americus.

better adapted to meet all the wants of the Planter. I claim that my Gin properly mauavad
will maintain the full natural length of the staple, and mav also be made to do ? as rapid work
asany machine in use Tins Gin has been witnessed in operation by several parties some of
whom have given me tbe following certificates:

At the request of Mr. P. C. Sawyer, we. have examined the Gins in his gin shop in this
city, and have also seen one of them running. VV e have uo hesitancy in saving we believe
them weR made and perfectly durable, and that they will give onr Planters eatisfaction.-
We think it the duty of Planters, and others interested, to patronize our young men of the

Deak Sir-I have witnessed the performance of one of yonr Improved Gins, and can
safely pronounce it excellent, and iully adapted to the wants of our Farmers The improve
ments yon have given it over other Gins, gives you superior claims to its consideration. It*
swinging front with adjustable box, both top and bottom, adds greatly to its praise and
worth, as with tnat it is utterly impossible to break the roll ; and that the shape of the rib*
being in Perfect shape with the roll necessarily gives increased length to the staple, at* la
deed that which I witnessed was fully equal to its natural length, and which alone makes it
pve-emment y worthy ot the consideration of all practical Farmers. Wishing vou success in
your laudable Southern undertaking, I am, very respectfully, W. A. COLLINS

r tIMPROVED COTTON GINS.—'Mr. P. C. Sawyer presents hia Improved
Cotton Gin to the public this summer under a firm persuasion that he has at last attained the
ne pins ultra, and that tins Gin accomplishes every thing practicable to a Naw Gin, with the
greatest possible ease, economy and rapidity. His improved ribs and roll bqx maintain a per
fect circle for the roll so that it is impossible to break it. crowd the boxes as you will me*
attempt to do so. The roll box, adjustable both at top and bottom, enables tbe operator to
bring the ribs to any angle whh, or position in relation to the saws he desires, so a* to ia
crease or diminish at pleasure the depth of the operating surface ot the saws in tbe roil, aad
thus make the machine gin faster or slower, with cleauer or fouler seed, and with taero •»
less regard to the length of staple. The writer saw anew Gin in operation, which bad not
even been painted, and an expert present showed by comparing the staole pulled from tho
seed by the fingers with that produced by the Gin, that the natural length of the fibre had not
oeen diminished at all in the process of ginning. This is, of course, the best performance of
which any Gin is capable. The cotton in this case was very dry, and it is donbtful whether
so perfect a result could be attained with green cotton. But Sawyer staked his reputation
upon producing the same result with green cotton. The Gin has also some other improve-
