Thk I'iiick or Cottox.—We observe that in Macon, Augusta, Columbus, Savannah „nd other markets cotton comes In slowly, and that the market has a very marked tendency downw ard. In this city, we presume there has not been exceeding two hundred hales thrown iitKin the market, all told. And yet the price continues dow nward. Some wagons from the country containing a small lot were III the city yesterday, hut lit cents was the highest hid, and there were no sales that wo heard of. ltather than sell at such prices, planters *eeiu to have decided to hold up for a season and take the chances. Tho great trouble Is. that there Is not money enough to move die crop. This is the case in all tho Southern cities; and Northern capital will net risk Investment when tho mills are overstocked, and when all grades of cotton fabrics are on the de scending scale.

On the ilOth of September the old gentleman Is reported as speaking at a Democratic meet ing In Cincinnati.—Augusta ComtiluUon- elitt. The statement of the Constitutionalist and other Democratic papers In regard to the speech of “Gen. Guaxt’h father,” was 'predicated upon a special telegram to the New York Herald of tho Hist Inst. The Cincinnati Commercial of the same date has a full report of that speech. Here It Is: Gentlemen: Tho lateness of the hour prevents me from making n speech, lie- tween the two candidates for Congress, Mr. Smith and Mr. Cary, I will only an- that you can Judge them by their rccoru. While one opi>osed the war, and did every thing lie could against It, the other favored it, and did everything 1m could for It. If this is u Democratic meeting, I advise you all to vote for Smith. The circumstances under which this ••speech” was made arc these: The Cakt party—a branch of tho Itcpubllcan party, organized toy ft sulf-nomlnatcd candidate for Congress—held a meeting to organize for tho defeat of the regular nominee.

Her (Georgia’s) status, says Judge Hah- 11 Is, “ is that of a State out of the Union. The terms, “out of the Union," plainly Imply the existence oftlieUulon. No logi cian will deny that. But, The Intettkiencer endorses Judge Haunts decision as to the status of Georgia; It (the Intelligencer) therefore, try Implica tion. recognizes theexlstplieoof the Union. If, therefore, the Union exists, what saved 1 It? Republicanism or Democracy fill" doctrine of Statu Rights ot the oldwhig theory of Federal Supremacy ? And. If (us Judge IIAlims and the Intelligencer agree) Georgia Is a conquered Mate out of the union, and the power which represents the Union Is the conqueror, who. according to the law of nations, has the right to dictate the terms of her readmtsslon r Judge IIaiuiis says the conqueror has this right; the Intelligencer endorses Judge Hankie opinion, and yet It professes to see a dis crepancy between the proposition that the Union' hoc- lira eared, and - Its correlative that ’Oeorgiaih a conquered State out of the Union! We had given you credit for a clearer head, brother Wat i akku.—Opinion, 28th. Come, Mr. Scruggs, or Mr. Humble, no dodging. You asserted on the Until Instant that "Republicanism had saved the Union,” amt In the same issue, ami In another edi torial of your paper, in commenting on Judge Harris’ late letter, you said that one of the conclusions of Judge Harris—that liforgin true a conquered State out of the n—toae a principle enunciated by Cun- ^ We oak yon ugaln to explain how It Is that-Republicanism has saved the Union.” ami yet "Georgia and her Southern sisters are conquered States out of the U nton 7”— Intelligencer, 20tA. A distinguished mathematician once as serted that he would undertake to convict any man of Idiocy who could not compre hend the reason of the proposition that tho three nuglcs of an Isosoles triangle were equal to two right angles. Judge Haimis asserted that Georgia was a conquered State out of the Union. Does the Union exist? Judge IIahius says it does; the Intelligencer endorsed Judge llAitius throughout; and yet its astute ed itor can't see how tho Union exists. If Georgia is out of it! In 1866 brother Whitakf.h advocated Southern represen tation 111 the Philadelphia Convention, "as means of getting back Into the Union.” Wliut Union? Why, the Union. Then ■the Union” existed; and yet Georgia was out of It; else why did you wish to “get hack Into" It ?

All those pertom who uro opposed to Reconstruction, and in favor of prolong ing the dlftlcultles under which we at pres ent labor, have ample means to vent their spite In the rabbid newspapers of tho Com monwealth; and why may not a Union man, who loves the South and the whole country, and desires the permanent peace and prosperity of tho same, he permitted to express briefly his views In an organ which favors the Reconstruction Acts of Congress? It apj>eurs to me that those journals which spit out their venom against Gen. Tope and tho patriotic and wise men of the South, who endorse the movements of the Government In tho great work of Reconstruction, but injure the eauso they profess to support. It is not the i«irt of wisdom, under the present circumstances to publish llatning and expletory articles against the men who are .properly JT thorlty uvlr us. .Every urtlclc like tho une published in tho Macon journal of thc25th lust derogatory to tho character and mo tives of General I’opc Incites the masses to opposition, and disturbs tho harmony of tint work, ami thus delays the morn of poftce and prosperity. It is certainly very unwise mid unpatriotic. What do theso shrieking journals expect to accomplish by thus agitating tho masses? To a calm and philosophic observer It would seem that they were actuated by feelings of re venge Instead of by a pure and lofty pa triotism. Such men may for a time hoar sway, hut the pent up forces of justice and right will eventually hurst out anew, sweeping every ves tige of error to destruction! The In evitable progress of tho ago must sweep over our land, and those who pamper to lust, revenge and tetffahness will he crush ed beneath Its ponderous weight! We re belled against tho Government; tried the chances of war; were defeated; wo aro conquered, hut we arc not degraded, only as wo degraded oureelvec. Under tho Con stitution, w e have no rights, and tho South should to-day thank God that tho victor’s course is so much tempered with mercy. I cannot complain. You, my neighbor, cannot complain. Wo broughtthctroublc on ourselves. We Instigated tho movement against tho Government; failed, us seeing men predicted that wu would, *hd having •• sowed to the winds, wo reap the whirlwind." Oh, friends of tho South, ho not deceived! Dct us not draw down upon our bonds another thunderbolt! Tho reme dy for all our Ills Is within our roach. Let us ucccpt tho situation ns brace men, ns patriotic men, and by lending a cordial and sincere support to tho great work Institu ted by Congress, cement tho dissolving foundatlonsor national strength and unity' Wore tho South to-day to any to tho North, “Wo bury our animosities, wo forget our prejudices, and arc with you In the work of Reconstruction,” my word for It, tho political horizon, now dark with clouds of wrath and fitful with flashes of strife and trouble, would brighten with the sunlight of peace; and, aided by willing Northern hearts and hands, the reign of moral, politi cal, commercial and educational prosperity would he suddenly Inaugurated 1 Itet us lie wise, and let the experience nt the past lie to tis n lesson and a warning. Dot ns notbedecclvcd by placing too great u stress upon the ” wonderful Democratic gains In the North. We shall awaken to the fact, when, perchance, it Is too late, that the true /Heads of tho South to-day are those who fought us most persistently during tho late war. They are men of nerve, and men of generous Impulses. They s|wtk plainly to us. and do not dlsguso their real sentiments. They have the welfare of tlm South at heart, and the eruven, skulking demagogues, who during the war professed friendship and sympathy for ns, an: still 08 doubtful as ever. Then, lot us strive to calm tho troubled waters, and send up « cheering word of triumph—triumph over our own prejudices ami follies—and thus by a cordial and unmistakable co-ope ration with Congress, Invito, yea, bring to our distracted country the full enjoyment of pence and prosperity.

Editors of the Eepublirun: I see It stated this morning, In one of tho papers of tho city, tliut a ticket was printed and exten sively circulated, naming myself and oth ers as candidates for the Convention to be held In Georgia. I had hoped that I should not be under the necessity of appearing before the public In relation to this matter; hut I should do myself Injustice to permit tile announcement to pass without notice. I knew nothing of the framing of the ticket. My name Is on It without my au thority or consent, and ill opposition to my fhellngs mid desires.

Official Information was received, to-day, of uii eff ort which had been made In Gen.

Rice at once proceeded before tlm United States Commissioner and made affidavit of tlm fact, with n view of testing the case in the United States Court. A Great .Sterner Divulged.—The Nisw Process of Petrifying Human Fie*/*.—Not long a.o I spoke of tlm lost secret for lie- trllylug human flesh, of tlm persevering attempts made In Italy to rc-discovcr It, and of tlm discovery, while making these researches, of another method of preserv ing flesh, perhaps quite ns valuable as the lost one. At tlm Great Exposition, Dr. Biirnctti, of Padua, the finder of tlm now method, was honored with a gold medal, and with tlie true spirit of a man of science, jie came forward the other evening nt ono of the meetings of tlm international Medi cal Congress, now In session at tho School of Medicine of Paris, and divulged his secret. Tho great amphitheatre of the school was crowded with distinguished medical men from nil parts of the world, ami when the Indian car ant hud concluded ills sjwcch 1m was rewarded with an ova tion which must have been a foil compen sation for any losses 1m may have suff ered from having Ills secret passed Into the pub- iic domain. The following details are suf ficient to enable any unntomist to avail himself of tills Important discovery: The process of Dr. Burnett!, which lie explained In French with method, and In a pure und elegant diction, comprises sev eral operations, viz: 1. The washing of tlm piece to be preserved. 2. Tlm degratetage, or eating nwav of the fatty matter. 3. The tunning. 4. Tlm desiccation. >. To wash the piece, M. Burnetti passes a current of pure water throughout tho blood vessels und various excretory canals, and then he washes the wnter out by a cur rent of alcohol. 2. For destroying tho fat, ho follows tlm alcohol with ether, which he pushes, of course, through tlm same blood vessels and excretory duets; this part of the opera tion lasts same hours. Tlm other penetrates the Interstices of the flesh and dissolves all tho flit. The piece, at this (mint of tlm B roccss, may be preserved any length of me desired, plunged In ether, before oeeding to the final operations 3. For the binning process M. Burnetti dissolves tannin In boiling distilled water, and then, after washing the ether out of the vessels with distilled wutcr. Im throws tills solution in. 4. For tlm drying process Dr. Burnetti E laces the pieces In a vase with a double ottom, tilled with boiling water, and lm dlls the places of the preceding liquids with warm, dry air. By tlm nhl of a reservoir. In which air Is compressed to about two atmospheres and which communicates by ft stop-cock and a system of tubes first to a vase containing chloride of calcium, then with another heated, then with the vessels and excretory ducts of the anato mical piece in eonrseof preparation, he es tablishes a gaseous current which expels In a verv little time all the fluids. Tlmop- eratkm is now finished. The piece remain* supple, light, pre serves its size, its normal relations Rs solid histological elements for there are no longer any fluids In It. It may be han dled without fenr. and will lost indefinite ly.

Enameling Ladies’ Faces.—This Is the way It Is done: Y ou first apply to tlm female fitec divine a wash of elder water, which removes overy Impurity. This done- you lave the face anew with tepid water, then dry tho skin with fine linen till It Is perfectly smooth and velvety. Y’on then apply to this sur face a perfectly white—a pink white, or a cream white enamel. Tho renl Dari* en amel, or email de Parie, Is slightly tinted I* Is a paste and covers tho surface smoothly, making It marble-llke. The artificial cov ering, being thick, lasts a long time, hut tlm foee must not be washed. In onler to remove nny impurity from tlm skin, or rather the enamel, a small sponge dipped In rose water ls used and the enamel care fully restored. RlstorDs dice Is enameled nightly. The followers of this fashion arc, in Eng land, Miss Rurdett Coutts, and the fair lady whose husband refused to pay sc thousand pounds for numberless el clings. Tho price at a “permanent enameling” Is fifty dollars. 1 f skillfully done, and the cheeks touched with rouge, with a little “fixing up” of eyebrows, you cannot, at nlglit, and a foot or two off, tell nil old woman from a young one.; In America tho fair Mrs ID follows thU fashion to thoroughly that sho coats Dice, arms and neck with tho pearly preparation.
