Indeed there were many fields where from half to two-thirls of the total pro duct in ready for gathering, and a few weeks must tell the whole story. It is a singular fact that in the more northern portions of the area visited, the plant was far healthier, and in bettor condition than in the cotton region proper. Thus the boot cotton that met our eye war in Virginia and Upper North Caro lina, and fields were to be seen within twenty mil** of Portsmouth, with stalks four feet in height, and blossoming to the topmost branches. Wc attribute the fact to the forcing effect of fertilizers, and the abs- i -sj of those excessive gluts of rain which have prevailed in lower latitudes, livery planter knows that after his cotton , ias nearly ceased growing and is clothing j tseif with fruit, too much moisture, fol lowed l»y hot spells of weather, invariably produce rust or blight. When the latter occurs, even the small limbs turn black and perish. The/armor simply causes a total suspension in the growth of the plant, and the wholesale shedding of leaves and young fruit. The older boils, though ceasing to mature, will open un der the influence of the suns rays even when attaining but half their normal *izc. The quantity of lint, however, is proportionally less, and the staple, though finer, is weaker. Should the weed, as is frequently the case after shedding its leaves, put forth new foliage, the effect is to retard the opening of the old fruit, while the new crop is too late to escape tho frosts. We have seen fields in the month of Octolnir yellow na chamomile beds with blooms, and to the unpractised eye look ing mo9t luxuriant and promising, whose actual production was next to nothing. The sap had been diverted from the old fruit and expended in the formation of new fibre, causing it to remain in statu quo, while the rank loaves excluded tho sun. and prevented tho pods from open ing. Bnt in Virginia, cotton has not ex perienced theso extremo vicissitudes of season, nnd, henco its healthy condition. The forcing inflnexico of fertilizers is having tho effect also of extending farther north tho area of production. We were assured that more than twice tho usual Acreage, has boon devoted to tho great staple in tho State of North Carolina tho prosent year. • Of caterpillars, we saw but little sign save in a few fields in Burke county nnd in tho vicinity of Griffin. This insect will not attack yellow and declining foli age, but confines its ravages to river and creek bottoms and those portions of the plantation where the weed is green nnd rank. Rust effectually kills them off, but is itself well nigh as fatal in its re sults, if general. It is safe to say that in all tho country visited by tho writer, tho falling off in j tho present crop over previous estimates, j will bo very heavy, amounting in sonic J cases to over one-tliird. But still, from | tho experience of the past year, and the j increased acreage, it is about reasonable o conclude that an abundance of the itaplo will be raised for aH mercantile That prices will rulo very low is hardly possible with the small amount • of the old crop now in sight, and tho re- | vival of business generally, including sliip-building, which insures ample and cheap transportation across tho Atlantic for tho crop.

Patrons of Husbandry Moving In tlicir own Defence. From the account published below of a recent county convention held in Illinois, it will bo seen that in the west at least* our farmer friends have reached the con clusion, that to effect reforms and pro tect themselves, they must control the several elections, and put in their own candidates. Tlie movement is not politi cal, but as nearly all Die antagonisms they have been forced to encounter in the shape of rings, monopolies, and impedi ments to cheap transportation, originated with Die Republicans and have been pushed by this cLoss of the community, they find themselves necessarily arrayed against them. The administration and Radical whippers in, would fain throw a sop to Uiis Cerberus and stop his growl ing. But it is too lato. Even the better portion of their party are aligned with the granges, and they intend to make an issue of their own.

Another. The result in Massachusetts was an other “facer” for Grant. Butler was his candidate for governor, and had the ac tive support of erery Federal officer in the State. They left their legitimate business and traversed the State in But- | reports th' lcr*s interest. They packed the prima ries, manipulated doubtful voters, and cajoled and threatened by turn to secure his nomination. His most active lieu tenants were the leading Federal office holders in the State—the men most in the confidence of the Federal adminis tration, and so strong in their positions that the anti-Butlerites dared not assail them.

A Review op the Chatham County Tax Digest.—The Advertiser-Republi can, of yesterday, says: There are legion-* of men in Savannah whose wealth, including real estate, bonds, money, solvent debts and personal property, will r.ot reach twenty thousand dollars, but an examination reveals the fact that there are only two hundred and sixty-nine persons and firms in the city whose .real and personal property, ac cording to the returns made by tho re ceiver, k valued at $20,000 anti over. There are thirty persons and firms whose property is valued at over $100,000, and those who plead guilty to over $200,000 are only nine in number. The richest man i« put down at $324,500, and the richest woman at $235,500. The richest business firm reports $307,470, and the next best $250,000. The various houses engaged in business in this city range from the above named figures down to a few thousand. The same paper has tho following: Arrival op the New Slawson Box Caps.—A large crowd was attracted to the corner of Bay and Drayton streets yesterday morning by the appearance of the two new Slawson patent box cars, which had just arrived by steamer from New York for the use of * the Savannah, Skidaway and Seaboard railroad. These cars, as we have before stated, are con structed in such a manner as to be man aged by the driver alone without the aid of the conductor. The driver stands on the platform on the front end of the car, and admits the passenger or let3 him out, opening the door by a little contrivance in front. The box for the receipt of the fare is fixed in front, and is arranged in such a manner that the driver knows when a passenger has or has not paid his fare. The little box is locked, and is only opened by the proper person at tho end of the tnp. The driver is always pro vided with a sufficient amount of change to accommodate those who need it. We learn that these two cars have been brought out to run between tho Central and Gulf railroad depots, and that they will be put on as coon as possible.

How the Robbers Levy Contributions in North Carol inn. From a Late letter in a New York paper we reproduce this graphic picture of tax gathering by the bandits who now gov ern South Carolina; On roaahing tho spot I perceived that the magnet of attraction for tjio. assem blage was an oH-fashioned family "car riage, drawn by a pair of cadaverous mules, which stood among the chinquapin bushes by the ror.d-siue. On the front seat of the vehicle sat a little weasel- faced man, who had upon his lap a huge account book, in which he made entries, from time to time lie received small packages of dirty shinplasters from tho bystanders. Behind him, reclining at full length, was a big, burly negro, whose feet (literally a foot each) were elevated so that they almo-it leoi iiod the cars o? the little man in -rout. Amazed at this extraordinary exhibition. I asked a gen tlemanly looking person for an explana tion. “Oil. it is only :i tax gathering,” said he. and with a smile, “Wo are paying tribute to Cresar oM Caxax Moses—i whom you see in the carriage.” “Why/ have you a colored collector ?” “Yes, sir, or rather I should say Governor Scott has a negro collector. Wo have none; tho white men o? South Carolina, sir, have .eiy little *2u*y9 in the an»«* tio*\ of the officials who govern them.” Bat who is the little man who corns t > be doing the business ?” “He is a low fellow, sir, formerly a gro vry keeper’s clerk. He now act3 as coachm tn and clerk for tho darkey. Old Crest*, who cannot write his own name, is obliged to give half his sal ary to Scruggs to ntt m l to business for him.” “What salary (lois ho got?” “One thousand dollars and jxrrquisit- s.” Dar ing this conver.-odion “old Cm o’* arose to n point of order. A week-looking coun tryman had ask-vl if State money would lxs received for taxes. Tho negro was too drunk to F.it upright, bnt heard Du> ques tion, and pulling aside the cnrtitfis, he presented a blearer), sensual countenance, which ought to procure him admission to the penitentiary without a warrant. “No! No, sir-ce S” he bc:^vn in a maudlin tone, we don’t take no State money; we don’t want dat trash. Don’t want Ruffin but the greenback, we don’t. Just fork out do greenback, dat’s all we asks o* you.” Tlie “Pairing*” Season at Long Branch, The Long Branch correspondent of the New York Erpres* tells what he knows about this, as follows: . In the evening aft r tho hop, the piazza of the hotel presorts some very interest ing sights. Each couple who are on tho pairing list have a favorite nook, to which they repair after the dance. Two chairs are drawn together on which they seat themselves, the little powdered head finds a resting place on the supporting shoul der, a coat-sleeve entwines itself around a snowy neck, r r.d nestled thus they sit till tho midnight hour, when a summons from a waiting and tired “ma” startles the cooing doves from their delicious reverie. You can t'-ll the young men who do this by tho whit-? spots on their coats in the xormsg. where the powdered head had rested. Some fellows, wiser in their generation than others, provide themselves with a napkin, where the girl’s head may lie without injury to the coat.

Indianapolis, September 10. — A special to the Journal from Frankfort-, IncL, says: Fletcher Meredith, editor and proprietor of the Clinton Republican Banner, was shot about 10 o’clock to-day by Jno. F. Douglass, whose wife has a millinery shop up stairs. Douglass con cealed himself in the loft when M&redith entered the store nnd engaged in conver sation with Mrs. Douglass. Douglass shot from a hole in the ceiling, the ball passing through Meredith’s wrist and en tering hi3 right Ixreast. . The wound is considered dfingeroti3. If we are not mistaken Douglass is a native of LaGrange, Troup county, where he lived until after the close of tlife late civil war, when with his wife, a "Western woman, we think—he removed to In diana. We are only sorry he didn’t shoot stronger, if, 03 it is fair to presume from the above statement, Meredith was in his house on a ba3e errand. MIDNIGHT DISPATCHES. The Dean of Canterbury on Allianee. New York, September 12.—Roy. K. P. Smith, Dean of Ciuit rbury, delegate to the American Evangelical Conference, i^ bearer of a letter from the Archbishop of Canterbury to Die Alliance, expressing the hope that this general conference may promote unity in all the forms of Chri-tian belief. The dean says there is a general feeling among the members of the Church of England that the dividing lines, whifch separated the Established Church from other denominations should be less marked, and having that object in view he accepted the invitation of the American Alliance.

Bethel is one of tho oldest and wealthiest African churches in the city. • TYhat tho Troubled. The representatives of fast lines before the cheap transportation committee of the Senate represent that tho trouble in tardy delivery after arrival is that the storage at the east eats it.

The crowd made a general rush over tho ropes, with the intention of tearing the balloon in small pieces and carrying them off as mementoes, but a strong force of police on the ground charged and drove them back, but not before many succeeded. Stiner, who had contracted to fill tho balloon, said that it would be all folly to attempt another inflation, as tho bag was not made of tlie proper material. So tho enterprise is abandoned for the present. The Army of Mexico.

Cincinnati, September 12.—Tho .at tendance at- tho exposition tho first eight days, closing yesterday, was 06,000, be ing 19,000 more than tho corresponding eight days of hist year. As a display, everybody pronounces it immensely in advance of its predecessors, while in re spect to quantity and value, especially the latter, it is without a parallel in Cin cinnati expositions. There are sixteen departments and scarcely one of them, exports say, have ever been equaled in this country. In the music pavilion three '*oncerts are given daily by tho best bands in tho city, which have rehearsed for months for the occasion. The government signal service lias an office in the main building, where reports are received and printed daily. Tho lower liall has two hundred and seventy-three machines moving, of which ono hundred and forty are propelled by steam and the others by hand. In addition to t^ieso are Hovonty-five bulky machines lying idle. The department of natural history is very full. Floral Hall was never surpassed in perfection. Variety and rarity plants are exhibited. Art Hall contains three hun dred oil paintings, four hundred engrav ings, one hundred water colors and drawings, three hundred and sixty articles of household art, twenty-five architechtnral drawings, twenty-one photographic views of Yosemito val ley, besides a great number of other fino photographs and oil paintings, to Attorney General.

The Mountains Falling upon the Salary Grabbers. Of the twenty-one members of Con gress and Senators from Ohio, all have either taken the back-pay or ore receiv ing the increased pay in advance, and the public fail to see any difference be tween the two.—Cleveland Leader. Those prudent Congressmen who are waiting for th“ popular indignation “to blow over” before they pocket thoir share of the salary swindle must feel discour aged when they see Unit, instead of sub siding. the storm grows stronger each day.—Belleville (III.) Democrat. President Grant, undisturbed, by the outcry about the salary-grab and Cfesar- ism, is pursuing tho even tenor of his don’t-care-a-daum path, as cold as icicle to the eye of the public, but all the time thinking like tho devil and fix ing things for the future.—Cairo (IU.) Bulletin. In this connection, it is. interesting to recall tho prophetic utterances of Gen. Butler when lie was pushing the measure through Congress. In his sp» ch for it. he said this was a “moat auspicous time ’ for such a scheme; that “no miserable demagogue ould make any capital out of itthat he “was a mean member who would object to it—so mean that ho could never find men mean enough to re-eloot him.” After these words ho added: “I put myself upon Die prophecy, and you will see how it comes out.”—Brie (Penn.) Dispatch. Let us reason a little further. Every member of the prosent Congress, whether Republican or Democrat, are taking ad vantage of that stupendous salary-:<teal, by drawing, each month, at the rate of $7,500 per annum. These “grabbers” constitute the real leaders, manipulators, managers and helmsmen, in every sense of the word, of thoir respective parties. Put either of these parties in power, and you sustain the “grab.” You may make all tho beautiful resolutions imaginable, condemning the infamy, but if you elect its supporters to office you must expect its continuation. How evident, then, is it that yon must sustain and place in power the anti-grab, anti-monopoly, peo ple’s party, to redress your grievances,— Peoria (HI.) Democrat. Most, if not all, of tho Democratic members of Congress from Pennsylvania attended tlie Democratic State Conven tion at "WHkesbarro. They all had their five thousand dollars of back-pay in tlieir pockets, and were willing to hand u nice slice of it over to tho State Central Committee. But they were all insulted, and now swear that “nary a red” will they give. * * * They were insulted in the house of their friends, and all for buncombe^ Tho people understood that more Democrats voted for it thou Repub licans ; all wanted it, nnd nearly all took it, and we havo yet to hear tho first man say he intends to vote either against the Democratic or Republican ticket on the “pay” question.—Lancaster (Pa.) Exam- xncr—Grant. The St. Paul Pioneer (Democratic) has Dio following to say, in advance of any action of its part y, concerning the anti- monopoly ticket recently nominated in Minnesota: The action of the convention presents plain issues, and ft ticket selected en tirely out of tlie ordinary way, to the people of Minnesota. Neither cabal or caucus has had a word to say in making it. The nominations sprung directly from the popular heart, unfettered by form, ceremony or past observance. The quality of the candidates is unexception able. Th y are not only good and worthy men, but possess an experience, intelli gence and integrity that makes them wr .thy of confidence. This much, at least, is due to truth, whatever action our own party may decide to take. LUDDEN & BATES, SOUTHERN 3IUSIC HOUSE, SAVANNAH, GA. of Musical Instrument*. LarzeMt Htock In the Month.

He has interposed actively to save BuDer. The talk in Republican cir cles here to-day is almost precisely what it was among the Liberal Republicans a year ago. The contest has assumed an added phase. The fight is not a fight against Butler alone. It is a fight against the administration as well. “We are go ing to win a double victory/* was tha re mark of a Rspiddioati on Saturday; “we shall beat Giant and But ler both.
