A (Oonlraot ia.thesale or of purchase one hun . ,dred bales .(never less), and a planter. wishing to realizo present prices for his . prospeclive<erop, and expectiogtomako 'only twenty bales,, could not operate safely alone. But himself and a num ber of neighbors oould sella joint eon- tracYand. secure present prices with certainty. At this time November fu tures are worth in New York 11 42-100 ,nr about lOfcin Macon. Should prices .Teach 15 cents in .November the seller •would make no more, ouu-if they should .decline .to 8 cents he would make no less. The gain on spots in one case •would fee offset by a corresponding loss on the contract—and vice versa. Con tracts are made on a basis of middlings, but other grades have the same relative •vtflue as in spot transactions. A plan ter making a contraet’wonldbe required to pijt up a bonus of $225, and in case of a materinl advancein prieesbe would be required to fjornisli sufficient addi tional margin to secure his broket against'Joss. The final result being-as sured, this would be no hardship, pro vided lie was in the first place so pro vided with funds as to be prudent in makiDg .the sale. Responsible brokers can be- foqnd without difficulty, so that the only risk is in the seller himself.— Certainly a financial revulsion involving the overthrow of parties with contracts and parties without contracts might possibly occur, but these statements are made ou the supposition that it will not. At least not just now. Selling a November contract, the planter can have it covered (or bought in) as late as Oc tober 26tli, and later, if not called on to deliver the Litton on that day. • The call cannot be made earlier, although he can cover at any time if he so de- sjres. To cover releases him eutirely, and he can limn sell his crop in any market and whenever he pleases. The expenses of a contract maile and closed in Macon aro about $30. The • balance of whatever margin is up belongs to the original owner, but goes towards pay ing losses if any. It will be remem bered that Josses here will be counter balanced by gains'on spots. The man who sufiers himself to be come n, reckless speculator simply be cause he sells his cron before he make. MX We are not a disciple of fbnimore Cooper, and do not believe in that ro mantic Vietv that makes the Indian a paragon of half civilized perfections.— We think, however, with a few excep tions, the red man of the forest is the Averse for bis contact with the whites, as the majority readily imbibe tbe vices and reject the virtues of civilization, The greater part of the Indians are savages,-but savages have rights that ought to be respected by an enlighten ed Christian nation. The history of st e discovery and settlement of Ameri- ica has been one of almost uninterrupt ed-robbery of the aborigines; and while they have often committed the most in human outrages, an impartial judge would scarely be able to decide which has been the worst race. They have repeatedly been compelled; to give np Ibeir valuable lands for amere pittance —a square league for an old blanket or a, condemned musket, or a string of cob ored beads. The most solemn treaty lighis have been nublnsbingly invaded by tho rapacions whites, and the rob bers have been sustained by. the strong arms of the State and national. govern ments. Eaving been driven toihe wild-coun try west of Arkansas, the government gave them a territory to-be governed by thf-meelves according to their own pe culiar laws and customs. It was guaran teed to them by the mast solemn grantB under the great seal of the United States. For years (here has been a strong party in the State of Kansas aud the West generally that has been trying to engineer a bill through Congress to or ganize a territorial government in the Indian Territory, and open up the country to white settlers. This would soon result in tbe expulsion of tho In dians from their lands and homes.— Some of the tribes, for instance the Cherokees, Creeks, and Choctaws have reached a very respectable degree of Christian civilization. They have their schools, their churches, their newspa per, their lawyers, physicians, and mer chants; besides many of them live in neat cottages, have pianos, furniture and all the comforts of life. Life and property in tho nations named are as safe as in New York or Iowa, and far safer than in Kansas, and there can bo no semblance of excuse, except cupidi ty, for the desire to open up their coun try to white settlers. There are millions of acres of government lands elsewhere which is not encumbered by Indian reservations, yet in the last few weeks squatters have been going into this In dian country'and occupying their lands in defiance of law and right and the ex press proclamation of the President.— It is estimated that already two thous sand families have crossed the line, and that if not stopped by active measures of the United States authorities one hundred thousand intruders would be in the territory before the end of the year. This scheme of plunder and villainy was deliberately conceived with a view to having tho long wished for territory of Oklahoma, organized, taking all rights of autonomy from - the several In dian tribes, and throwing all the engine ry of the government and and courts in to the hands of the squatters aDd rob bers. The following clipped from an ex change gives an idea of the extent of the Oklahoma conspiracy “Col. J. R. Boyd, of Topeka, one of the leaders in the movement has pene trated into the centre of the country, and laid off there the city of Oklahoma, which he proposes shall be the capital of the new Territory. Oklahoma lies in a beautiful and fertile country between the Cimarron and Canadian rivers. The Colonel predicts that there will bo 50,- 000 white settlers in the Territory be fore fall. At Washington the general opinion prevails that the new settlers will refuse to pay any attention to Hayes proclamation, and that it will be necessary to uee troops to remove them from the lands on which they have squatted, The Cabinet meeting Friday decided in favor of the use of roops for this purpose. Tha avenues of approach to the Territory are to be strictly guard ed, aud no squatters allowed to pass.— The troops are to be used to hunt out those who have already sqatted in the country. It is worthy of remark that the Re publican organs are perfectly silent ou tbe subject of this rebellion in Kansas aud the Indian Territory which has called forth the proclamation of Mr. Hayes. Does any one doubt that if that rebellion against the authority of the United States was located in the South every radical newspaper in the country would be in'full howl calling on the government to adopt the most vigorous meas ures for its suppression. ” It is to be hoped that the white set tlers will not only be summarily re moved, but that stringent laws trill be passed to protect theIndiansfrom these iucursions in the future. Surely a dem- - ocratie congress will not allow the radi cals to steal this fine country from its legitimate owners. We of the South should have a par ticularly friendly feeling for these civ ilised ludiaus, for they not only, almost to a man, fought with, us during the late war, but they have been with us in suffering, po\-erty and radical persecu tion since the war. The policy- of the government towards the wild ludiaus has long been a dis grace and a reproach to the American name, and we trust the crowning infa it, must blame himself alone. • ' my of destroying ilie Christian Indians M-- ; K Sms. | will not be p'.-rpelr o.ej, GEORGIA GLEANINGS The many friends uf Judge John L Harris of the Brunswick circuit will be pained to learn that Le died quite suddenly on Wednesday.

It was found in what Mr. Bickley colls an old Endian field, and must have been dropped by some friendly Indian many years ago. The Thomasville Tones calls the atten- ion of its readers to an im portant mat ter.
