So far as hw ■Hssfotie to the character of onr Mr. Bayes who is now absent, is concerned, he will in due time be replied to.

Dix, charged by Mr. John feitcheU with false imprisonment, has let tbs cst out of the wallet in preparing his defence. It scorns that the arrest was made by order of Unit Silly Grant, now supposed President, and reads as follows : By govci nment telegraph, in cipher dated Washington, June 6, 1869 Major General John A. Dix, New York ; Have John Mitchell, formerly editor of (he Richmond Enquirer, arrested and sent to Monroe, Virginia, for confinement and trial. Make the arrangements for his im mediate shipment before arrested, and give this matter in charge of a discreet officer who will not let it get out that the arrest is to be made until he has his man. (Signed,) U. S. Grant. Should the law be fairly, and righteously administered, Dix will learn to his sorrow that snch a defence will be of no force.

Through Cotton. —Thus far the Mont* gotnery and West Point railroad has brought from Montgomery, Alabama, en route for Savannah f'*nt thousand one hnn« dred and fifty five bales of new cotton.— Columbus Sun. Newspaper Spongers. — An exchange well says there are many persons who either take no paper at all, or else take one from a distant city, and when they wish to see what is transpiring in their own neighbor hood, they beg or steal the local paper from some citizen more liberal than themselves. Many men «>f this kind are engaged in bus iness, snd frequently grumble because peo* pie do not patronize ‘‘home industry” when they practice the vety thing of which they complain. Mandamus. —Judge Pope has issued s Tfnf~T“" at the instance of Go** Bullock, against Treasurer Angler, requiring him |t» show cause in November why he refuses to psy an Executive warrant in favor of Marshal DeGraflfenreid, Secretary ot the Governor, for one hundred and fifty dollars, om month’s salary.— Atlanta Constitution.

Office State Agr’c’ltV Societt Ga | Macon, Ga., September 20, 1869. ) Si*: Io reply to your note of the 16tb iut., this, the rnles for the management, of tfee Fair in November, will be adopted and Widely circulated by the Executive Com mittee, which meets here the Ith of Octo* ber next. It is probable that the following regular lions will be adopted in relation to the mattsr to which you refer, t<»ewit, ‘ The membera of Comity or Local agri* cultural societies, regularly appointed nns dor certificates of their President and Se cretary or who come as a Society and in a body and camp on the ground, will be furnished with a ticket which will permit them ingress or egress of the grounds Without charge. Such members .contend - ing Tor premiums will pay the nsdal fee of two dollars, I wilt send all the Society, copies of the revised regulations, I hope yonr Society will do as the Ran dolph cmmty Society has done. They met last Saturday to appoint a delegation of ten to the Fair, ami finally residved that the whole Cinb should go. , If tiro county societies will follow the example of Randolph, they can hold ate* ecmblies and discussions at night on the Fair Ground vastly to their own enjoy ment and edification. What do you say? Very respectfully, DAVID \V. LE .VIS, Secretary. To J. 8. Pope, Secretary of Pike Comity agricultural Society. Iluld ¥*nr toilna. A gentleman Just retained from New 4 York, who has badgreat experience as a cotton buyei, a|i sps mally done nothing else since tljp war wised, informed ns yes> terday tha**tbe%tanter» of *be Sonfth were now plaving into the hands of speculators most admirably, in rushing their cotton <>n the market. It was just what the New York buyers and speculators wanted. Three weeks ago cotton was firm in New York at 35 cents per pound, but just so soon as the planters got ready to sell, the price immediately receded to 29 and 30 cents, with a strong effort on the part of the bears to still further reduce it. Our friend stated that theTe was not a cotton buyer in New York, ot syiy intelligence or reliability, Wfitroow liol lielieve that cotton will go to 35 or 40 eents per pound in that market, by or before the first of next May, and they candidly and openly express such an opine ion among themselves; and are laughing in their sleeves at the rush the planters are now malting npon the market. Just so soon as the bulk of the cotton crop is out of the hands of piauters and a close guess can be made of the year’s crop, then you will see a reaction in the price that will ass toiiish you, Our friend expressed real mortification and shame at the maimer in which the ; planters were blindly injuring themselves just now, and expressed thr belief that even before Christinas thej would rne their present suicidal policy. We have the foregoing from agent I man who knows, perhaps, as much about cottor and the cotton market as any gentleman in Geoagia; one who is familiar with the pre-. sent animus of New York speculators, and knows precisely what their game is, and we give his views and advice as worth something. We copy the above from the Macon Tel egraph, in order that onr planting friends may see and fully understand this, not the first by any means, foul scheme on the part of Northern speculators, to grow rich at the expense of the Southern planter, if is extremely foolish, to say the least of it, for the farmers to rush their cotton on a de pressed market, when it is so plain to every sensible thinking person, that they can, by holding back for a short time,* get a much better price for it. Then planters look to your interest— hold your cotton —let the New England schemers know that you fully understand the : r motives and that yon intend to fortify yourselves aga’nst them, our word for it, affairs will take a consid erable change. „ - You have the cotton—they want it, they are compelled to have it— they will have it! consequently by giving them to understand that yon have become tired of being used as tools for their benefit, and are determin ed to have the full value of your produce, they will very soon come to terms and tire Southern planter will be master of the sit-' CALHOUN COUNTY. Last week we attended the Superior Court of this county. Our efficient Judge was there on time. We were very much pleased to hear him, in his able charge to ihe Grand Jury, al lude to the Jill-absorbing subject of rail* roads. After dwelling upon tlieir important ben efits to our whole country ; he spoke of ‘he contemplated road from this point to Cu- IntrbuM and urged upon them and the cit izens, the necessity of building it and free ly contributing their mite towards all en terprises of like chaiacter. He said: “It is not a mere question of dividends—it may never pay one dollar in dividends—but, it is in ihe increased value of your lands that yon are to look for renumeration ; and in giving you facilities to get your products to market. Open up your country by railroads and emigrants will flock to it—the value of your lauds will increase—and the cost of getting your productions to market will be greatly diminished In every part of the State where there are railroads, property is advancing. In my own county, “Sumpter,” lands are bringing from fifteen to twenty dollars per acre. If therefore, you waut youi property to in crease build railroads.” We indorse every word of- that. It is sound and true, all of it. Will the people heed it. In attendance npon the Court were a large uotnber of legal ge.itletreu. Two, to every new case on the docket. Pleased were we to meet the local mem bers qf the bar, Messrs. Dun, Wooten Beck, and Munroe, in good health, who, by the way, were the most elegantly dressed gen tlemen we havtyteen since ante bt/lvm days. Law is flwarishinjg there, or fire one. The Court House under the direction of the Ordinary, Judge Wooten has received anew Less of paint and presents a hand some appearance. The cotton crop has been greatly injnred by the rust, boll .worm afin catterpillar.- The most of it is now open and by Novem ber will, be gatheied. The potato, cane and pea crop has been totally destroyed by the long drouth. Whilst there we had the pleasure of meet ing onr genial cotempmary E. H. Giouliy, ol the Early County News. He was in fine health and spirits—a little. May his ''shad ow never grow lees,” nor his spirits weaker Fire In Baker County- —The gin-honse of Mr. Tom. Pierce was destroyed by fire on Monday last. Nine or ten bales of cotton were litmit up in it. The fire was caused, it is supposed, by friction. Baiubridg<libr a . OFFICE SOUTHERN SE& - Baimbkidgs feepL 80, 1869. } Gknkru.

D., 1869, of the Superior Court held in and for the county of Bibb, Henrietta Greer was tried for and convicted of the crime of murder, and was therefoie sentenced by the Judge presiding at said Court, to be hanged by the neck until dead, on the 23d day of July there after ; and Whereas, The said Henrietta Greer bar been re prieved until the 17th day of September instant upon the representations of her attorney and other respectable citizens, and to the end that the testimo ny, acts, and circumstances produced upon her trial, might receive a thorough and careful inves tigation : and Whereas, tTpon examination of the record in said case, it appears that the testimony against the condemned was wholly ciicumstantial, and that her conviction was founded upon her confessions, which confessions, when taken together, are con tradictory, and evince the influence of fear, and mental imbecility ; and Whereas, The perfect social intimacy of the con demne.d with the deceased precludes the probability of any malice aforethought, raised a strong pre sumption that the blow* which resulted in death were struck in the heat of passion ; aui Whereas. It has been made known to me that the condemned wis brought t>* trial when the pub. lie mind was much excited, and the pressure of pub lic opinion for conviction wu* great, and in addi tion to the fact that the counsel appointed to de fend the suiil Henrietta Greer, at the time of her trial is said to have been young and itrexperienced. and failed to present the evidence L> its proper bearit g to the jmy “.
