Satcher Station, September 8.—Af ter * hot .nd duet; ride of orer twenty mile, ire arrived in Lnmpkin on Tuea- diy last for the purpose of taking a part In the convention of the 12th diatrict Sen atorial eonvantlon, embracing the coun ties of Quitman, Stewart and Webster. At 12^0 clock the convention way called to order by Dr. Barnnm, chairman of tba Senatorial oieeutiye committee. Dr. J. E. Carter, of Stewart, was elected perma nent chairman, nnd A E. Keeae, of Qnit- man, and W. M. Sean, of Webster were mad. permanent Secretaries It waa aoon discovered that the matter of repre sentation In the convention was the un ruly bull with which we had to grapplm Heretotor., on account of th. fact that Stewart county had two representative* in the lower house of th. legislature, and Quitman and Webatar only one each, these had oonoeded to Stewart hoed, horn, and rope of this bull and war. oontent to •Imply poll at tba tall occasionally and sty ont gas or haw; bat now that Stew art boa lost on. of bar members In the lower house, and democratic usage throughout Georgia has settled the ratio ot representation In all her State and district conventions on the basis of rep resentatives in th* lower houie, these two amaller counties having as many members in the lower bonae a* Stewart, tbay claimed an equal showing in the management of the bull, which claim was peremptorily and boldly denied na. Giving up the point eo far as the present oonvention waa oonoerned, the conven tion proceeded to ballot for a candidate, which proved a dead look. One hand- red and nlnty-five ballots were had and no nomination, although tba majority rale prevailed. A proposition waa then submitted by Webster and Quitman, to nominate the man Stewart desired if they would agree that in the future the rule of representation as adopted by th* Stato and congressional conventions should govern; bat this met by a bold monuneiamento that Stewart had tba nnmarieal strength ovei us and woidd never submit to the idea that those two little bob-tailed, baby counties ahonld he equal with her, and that we ahonld hava only suob share ol the ball at she in her generous nut-shell conscience felt in olined to give us. This is the flhit effort at political oitracism in tba democratio party boldly and defiantly made within my knowledge, and it waa supported with a bunt of bembaatto Jargon, but at length sober reason waa enthroned in at laait one member of the Stewart delvg i- tlon, who camo to the rescue of right and Justice, thereby redeeming the conven tion from a fatal burst and raatorad har mony. as will eppaar by lbs following resolution by the united vote of Wehater and Quitman and the one delegate from Stewatt. In view of conflicting opinions aa to both the ratio of representation of tbo different counties now in Senatorial Oon vention assembled, and the right of the counties to nama the Senator for the 12th Senatorial Distriet of Georgia, ha it Kesolved, That ail Senatorial Conven tions hereafter to aairmble in this dis trict, the ratio of representation adopted for the government of the Gubernatorial Convention of tbo Slate and the Con gressional districts to whiob tba oountiea of tbia diatrict belong, shall ha adopted M the rule of govarniog representation In this diatrict in Convantiona. Resolved, That Hon. 0.0. Humber, of Stawait, be and is hereby declared by acclamation to ha tbs candidate for Senator for the 121b Diatriet, Beaolvad, That these resolutions be and are hereby adopted aa a whole. These resolutions ware adopted by a majority vote of the Convention, and thus waa coded a long, tedious and bo|at«roas discussion and harmony pre served. So ioog aa Ur* district atanda aa it now dose, this compaot ahonld ba oh. ■erved in good faith and donbtlaaa will hr, by all tba coanllea composing the diatrict. The cotton crop continues to dwindle off and no doubt now remains that th* crop will fall below two-thirds of an average atop. Many (aids on aandy lands era nearly gathered and pans out about half a crop. Hor* pass art being gathered than any on* year within th* last decade, ao that with s good oorn crop, peas and potatoes in abnndance, wa can survive another year, notwith standing the short co.ton orop and short prices. Wa have also a good crop of boga, at least batter than for many years past. Tbtra is an abandonee ol sickness on tba river and the adjacent level lands. Dra.

Ivey, of Raker oonnty. was in our eity last week, trying to sell out bia orop of souppernongs. He sayahe has at least three hundred bushels, and his neighbors estimate his orop at from 400 to 600 bushels. He offers to sell his entire crop at 40 cent* per bushel. Home energetic man who understands the business, might make a good thing of such an enterprise. There are, inside tbo Incorporation of oar city, six cotton gins, ran* by three engines, running on full lime, and turn ing out from 30 to 60 halos per day. One grist mill, one saw mill, oil milt, oar factory and artesian well, all running at the samo time, and when they blow off At noon or night, n stranger would imagine himself in a.very largo manufac turing eity.

They could not help admiring Ihe manly position it assnmed in regard to Schley's Renator. From Mount. Nicholson and Dixon, who roturned yesterday, from Americas, we learned that A. P. & h. R.

Whether this bo Irua or untrue, we are not prepared to say; but we are loath to believe that tbs oltixens of Amerious, reputed as tbay are for honor and integrity, would in • single instance set with snob perfidy, ffe think lbs poople of tbia county should hold their stoek and defeat nny plan originated to lilodor tbo building of said road. It would be better to hare a narrow guage road than none at all. Besides, If snob a road l» bnitt, it is likely that it will ba both equipped and operated independ ently. Therefore, we will have anew road, with first class material and one well capaoited for the bnslaeaa required.
