Don't forget the meeting and, si-.vs all, don't fail to attend it. vrrtiser says that when a political party sinks so low in demoralization as to be controlled entirely by the spoils of politi- eal conquest, its end is nigh. The World sees in the distractions slabbing! off in the East and West, that tho Radical party is "on its lait legs,” and in the same breath pronounces the Democratic party, (which, as we have boon told, hqs toon dead so msny times,) fnll of life, strength and so If-reliance . If corruption and venality—if entire abandonment to the Inst of spoils and pow er as the controlling motive of all political action, could have killed the Radical party, it would have been dead as a her ring long ago. Since the war but one question has determined all it! action upon the destinies of the country, arri that miweiyisow to consolidate the power of the party and ‘ strengthen its grip on office and public plunder. For this it has sacrificed,States—doomed them to bank ruptcy and financial ruin—consigned their intelligent people to the remorseless des potism of savage impudence and knavery.

But as for <uiy siylden awakening of outra^ukl, in»H^n:mt virtue among the Radical massei—taking lire at the sacrifice of country to party—at the trampling down of justice, law and common sense in tho interest* of rampant political and personal scoundrclism—let ns dismiss these notions. The party and its policy are all one. It suits them and they approve of it, and will stick to it as long as it pays. So we shall indulge no hope of see in.? Radicalism die in our time, so long as they do not go to loggerheads about di viding the plunder. That is tho only danger to them—that is the only point about which they are likely to lie sensi tive. It is the basest political organisation ever yet seen in America; but latterly it has manifested one virtue to some extent —it don’t set up much pretension to any thing else than baseness. It has dropped tho cant of public virtue, and seems con tent to stand out in its own naked aid Confessed rascality ns a baud of-spoils men, preying on the welfare of the coun try. A Lobster Farm, Massachusetts has, it seems, already discovered a way of supplementing the natural supply of lobsters, which is get ting short. A lobster farm ha* boon es tablished by inclosing a space of thirty acres of so-called “flats,” on an arm of the sea, by a dyke, with an arched way in the centre, to permit thd ebb anti flow of dhe sea, the tide rising three feet insider and eight feet outside. During July and Au gust of 1S72, 40,000 of all ages, sizes and conditions were let loose In tho pond. Food, consisting of refuse from the fish market, was plentifully supplied to them, ami tho gate was put up to prevent their escape to the sea. Lost winter holes were cut in tho ice and trapf were put down. Good hardshell lobsters were caught, thus proving that the water was deep enough and puro enough to keep tho fish alive, and that the lobsters were healthy.having taken on their hard sholls, and having re covered their lost claws. Tips spring about 15,000 male lobs tens were taken out and sold, the female lobsters having boon thrown hack for brooding purposes. Few are aware of the great length of our soa- coast, measuring all !*aya and inlets of water, and how large thobininoas of’rais- ing oysters, clams, lob it or* and other fish may booome. Some waters are already worth a thousand dollars an acre for the production of oysters. «Farm to Rent for less than Taxes.” The above, says the Mcmphif Register, is a starting announcement,, and will no doubt cause those whose ©yes may be at tracted by it, t6 stop and inquire where the farm is, and perhaps also to ask the cause which leads to so .great* a sacrifice. The farm lies convenient to all tho mar kets of a large city in the South, contains eight squares of ground under picket fence, has a large orchard ol plum, orange and fig trees, scuppernong grape vines, etc., of choice qualities. The farm at a former day and time was a source of a profitable income to the owner. Now it is an expense to him. The cause is tho effect of Radical rule in Louisiana. The advertisement appears in the New Orleans Rt-pubUc&n, ♦Itho official journal of the State of Loufsmna.” It proves thD lament able fact th^t the rule of Radicalism in that State has destroyed the value of real estate in and around one of the most flourishing and prosperous cities in the South. • It is the index finger of warning pointing to the people of Mississippi and other States to the dangers which are threatening them.

Down town was reached, and our Spaulding county cr editor who is considered al»out a; keen a specimen as there is afloat, with bis friend, noticed tho lights of a room in the second story of a building on Bull street beam ing out upon the street in such a cheerful manner, that they at once resolved to en ter and make merry.

They lingered long, nntil late in the niglit. and the gentlemen present bail retired. They wore left masters of tho situation ; but they wore disturbed by the party in charge of the rooms, who ap proached them and suggested that it was closing up time, and also volunteered the information, in reply to a question, that they were not in a public saloon. “ This is the Oglethorpe Club, gentlemen, and visitors arc* only introduced by members.” It seems that some of tho members had comprehended the joko and kept quiet, but the information was startling for our provincial friends, who gatnered them selves together and stole away, with a re mark not pious but comprehensive. MARsnvT. Conway, oi Camilla, was stabbed twice in the side last Thursday night by C. O. Davis, whom he was at tempting to arrest for creating a disturb ance. Davis was a little l>ooxy.

Clemen3, a rattle snake which was killed on his turpentine farm some ton or eleven miles below Ca milla. and brought to town by hint as a sample of what his Land can produce in the way of rattlosnakes. The snake was six feet long, about ton or twelve inches in circumference, and had nine rattles and a button. As there were many in town who had never before s»*en a snake of that species, it created much interest and some excitement. Mr. Clemens says that there have been some seventy of this species of serpent killed on his farm since the first of last year, many of which were much larger than the one brought to Ca milla. He thinks there have been n few killed on his premises, that could have easily swallowed whole tho one in ques tion. # The Savannah News says several par ties in that city are endeavoring to raise $40,000 wherewith to build another steamer suitable for the Florida and in land coast trade. Ton thousand dollars have been raised, and the prospect for securing the remainder is good. The News has the following: Sudden Death of a Former Augus tan.—By private letter from Montgom ery, Ala., we learn that Mr. Joseph W. Wilson, a native of Augusta, died very suddenly at his residence in the former city, on Friday, the 29th of August. Our information is to the effect that 3Ir. Wil son was in a room in his house engaged in writing a letter, and had just com- S leted it, signing his name, when his aughter, who was in an adjoining room, heard him utter a cry of pain. and. rush ing in, discovered him prostrate on the floor. The family were alarmed, and the usual remedies were resorted to, but with out avail, life being entirely extinct. Mr. Wilson was born in Augusta about 1809. and was eonsequcstly sixty-four years of age. Ho was engaged for many years in the firm of Heard A Wilson in that city, conducting the warehouse business, and was widely known throughout Richmond and Bibb counties. He removed to Mont gomery about thirty-five years ago. where he met and married a daughter of the late George R, Clayton, Esq., of Milledge- ville, for twenty years Treasurer of the State of Georgia, who was on a visit to that city. He settled in Montgomery after his marriage, and had been engaged in business there ever since.

The New York Commercial and Finan cial Chronicle for Saturday says the total receipts of the first five *lay3 of tho cot ton year, terminating Friday night, were 8 f S3(5 bolc3 against 8,237 bales last week, 10,541 bales the previous week and 10,- 581 bales three weeks since, making the total receipts since the first of Septem ber, 1873, 8,856 bales against 13,541 bales for the same period of 1872, showing a decrease since September 1,1873, of 4,fi9S bales. The New York Market.—The Chroni cle says the feature of the week was an active demand for consumption—sales ■regating 12.575 bales. There was an advance of half to three-quarters of a cent on spots in ordinary and good mid dling, and a still more decided advance on futures. This improvement is attributed to an active demand for consumption and a considerable curtailment of anticipated supply from injury to the crop by cater pillars. Weather Reports by Telegraph.— Our reports by telegraph to-night are on tho whole some*vhnt more favorable, al though undoubtedly very considerable in jury is being done by worms and cater pillars in tho lower half of the Gulf and Atlantic States. But even over the most of that section the weather has been more satisfactory, rain having fallen much less frequently. With regard to the injury from the caterpillars, we infer from some of our telegrams that it is largely con fined to the top crop, the bolls which make up the bottom :ind mid<lle crops be ing mostly too far advanced. From Nash ville and Memphis it will be noticed that ! almost < onr advices are very favorable. At New Orleans there liave l»een showers (said by our correspondent to be local) on moretlian lialf the days of the week. It has rained on three days at Mobile; crop account; are conflicting, but they continue to grow less favorable, as the catorpilLvrs are do ing great injury everywhere, so that the top crop wiU be poor. At Montgomery it has rained only on one day, but hero also the caterpillars are reported at work everywhere, so that crop prospects are daily less satisfactory. About the same report comes from Selma, with the addi tion they had three heavy showers the early part of tho week; since then it’ has been clear and pleasant. At Macon they have hail rain only on one day, and our corresponilont adds that tho 'weather is fine for picking. It has been warm hnd dry all the week at Columbus; worms are doing so much injury that tho top crop will be poor.

Betting on the Balloon Voyage.— In New York there is some betting on the balloon in the sporting circles about town, but it is evident that the betting men don’t believe in it- The odds are overwhelming against it, and it is hard to find anybody who will risk anything on it. That the balloon will neither cross the ocean nor get "half way across, beta are offered nineteen to one; that it will never go a hundred miles awaj from land, nine to one; that Hie balloonists will aotstay up a single day, five to one; that Wise will never find his westerly current, three to one; that the whole thing will be a fizzle, two to one; that the balloon will burst, bets are even.

She is built of wood, and is the fifth of the new wooden vessels which have been intro duced into the navy. There is nothing remarkable about hor construction, but considerable interest hue been excited about ships of this from the mere fact that they are wooden, and that in the present day it should be found desira ble to recommence wooden ship-building. The Shah is a frigate of four thousand tons and one thousand nominal horse power, and is constructed to carry.26 guns, from six-and-a-half to eighteen tons in weight.

MIDNIGHT DISPATCHES. More about tlic New York Ware house and Security Company, New' York, September 9.—A director of tho Warelious. and Security Company states that the Company’s assets are about $2,500,000, but does not know how much of this is in the form of unpaid loans. Its liabilities are $1,300,000. The Missouri, Kansas and Texas Railroad owe the Company a million dollars, onc-lmlf of which was secured by bonds of the road and notes of the Land Grant Railway and Trust Company, and tho other half by tlic personal guaranty of five railway direct ors.

A loan waa also made to the West Missouri railroad, amounting to $50,000, which loan was good though not yet ma tured. The same was true of several other railroad companies.

The 71st regiment of thi3 city had been visiting the 47th, and were return ing home, the streets being filled with thousands of people. Just as the last two companies of the 71st were opposite the building on which was attached the balcony it gave way, precipitating them on the heads of those below. The military immediately halted and laid down their arms and rushed to the assist ance of the people. Those who were hurt were taken to the hospital near the build ing where the accident occurred. Twenty were injured, including Miss Williams and Miss VanDyke, fatally, Daniel Brown seriously, and tho remainder slightly. Many others were scratched and bruised. It i3 stated that many of the ladies who were injured were robbed of watches and jewelry by thieves, and many had their pockets picked. The cause of the acci dent was defection in the work.

Madrid, September 9.—Twenty-seven general officers have thus far Left the Government service, because the military law3 are not enforced. Generals Gon zales, Ceballos and Pavia have been pro moted to the rank of Lieutenant General. liattle of Chicamauga; and his wife was driving. The horse became frightened and attempted to run away. She started to jump out to take hold of the bridle, but full down under tho horse. It kicked her on the arm. the rough iron shoe striking her just below the elbow joint, and literally crushing it to pieces. After encountering many difficulties they suc ceeded in getting her to a house—Mrs. McBride’s—and put her down upon the front portico, from which position she could not bo moved and had to lie there on the hard floor all night. Her six little children all slept near her op a blanket, while the anxious and distressed father and husband, watched over them all. There was no surgeon in ton miles of the place and one could net bo obtained until noon the next ..day. With the bones of her arm all crushed; tired and haggard with the day’s travel; writhing in excru ciating pains; lying upon a hard floor; with her wounds undressed, and arm un set ; with her little children around her hungry, alarmed and uncared for; her husband maimed, helpless and without a dollar; a hundred and thirty-five miles from home; a stranger in a wilder ness country; horse crippled and not able to travel—who can imagine a condition more deplorable ? And yet, with all this she neither murmured nor complained. A Springfield Dog Fight. There is always something irresistible about a dog-fight. Sometimes it is our inclination to help our own dog, and this is always followed by a conviction that dog-fighting is wrwig. It is also unsafe unless viewed from a second-story win dow ; at least we are so informed by a tax-payer who dines standing since he witnessed the great canine combat on Ferry street yesterday. Tho crowd was anxious that a little dog should whip, particularly after ho had incidentally bitten a foreign bootblack who spoke disparagingly of Springfield dogs; and when he led the big dog about by the ear even strangers hysterically em braced each othc** and clapped then* hands. This excessive joy was moderatea by tho big dog suddenly darting between Mr. O’Flaherty’s legs, whereupon tliat gentle man sat down upon the pavement so vio lently that his eyes seemed to have turned over in his head, and several minutes’ rapid wanking were necessary to get the pupils in front again. During tho in terval a country-minded individual was inspired to punch the little dog with liis umbrella, and immediately thereafter went home to poultice his eye. Several gentlemen picked up the umbrella, and one man, who wanted it os a memento, was promptly afforded a memento of an other sort, but resembling a miniature umbrella, under his car. Wliile other tax-payers were pulling tho umbrella to pieces a colored pefson accidentally stepped on .a largo portion of both dogs, and forthwith they quit fighting and began an indiscriminate collection of pants* samples in the crowd. Those who could climb did so at once, and those who couldn’t ran. But tho dogs ran, too, and had time besides to make it very unpleas ant for persons on the fcnce3 whose feet were witliin jumping distance. The num ber of people in tliat vicinity who finally reached their homes with tho appear ance of carrying handkerchiefs in their rear pockets was not accurately estimated owing to the fact that the philosophic observer was himself engaged in avoiding an introduction to tho heroes of the con flict.—Springfield Republican.
