ItxtHIcatlon meeting In f'olumbiiK.
The Colnmlitis papers contain full reports of
the proceedings of the ratification meeting held
in that cily on the evening of the 23d instant.
< )n the occasion, several addresses were made.
Among the speakers were the Hon. A. H. Chap
pell, Ex-Provisional Governor Johnson, and
the H011. M. J. Ckawkord. The meeting, which
was large and harmonious, was presided over by
the first named gentleman. The Committee’s
report ratifying the action of the Philadelphia
Convention was unanimously adopted.
l>, S. NeeiirttleH in Europe.
The New York Time# of the 23d instant says :
“ The report of the harmonious proceedings of
our grand National Union Convention was cir
culated over the whole of Europe on Saturday
last, and read on every Exchange from London
lo Naples, What is the result? Last night’s
news from London by the cable reports our fivc-
1 wen lies as high as 70} at noon yesterday. When
1 lie proceedings of the convention are once re
ported in full on the other side of the Atlantic
there will be a further rise, which will drive the
Radical disunionists madder—if that were possi
ble—than they are to-day. They are frothing at the
mouth now. This late financial report from Eu
rope will aggravate them beyond all power of en
durance. The cable, like all other commercial and
industrial appliances of the times, is against the
Radical faction. They ought to cut it.”
Tlio First Bale al AugiiNtn
The Augusta Chronicle t& Sentinel, of the 26th
instant, says “the first bale of cotton was
brought lo our market on Friday, from the plan-
1 at ion of Mr. Thomas Norbury iu Burke county.
The hale weighed four hundred and forty-tlnee
pounds, and was received and sold by Messrs.
W. Henry Warren A Co., to Messrs. E. M. Bruce
A Co., at filly cents per pound. It is a fine arti
cle.”
Itatlroad from Blue mountain to Daltou.
The Rome Courier, referring to this railroad
enterprise, says: “Major J. L. Williams, well
known in the State as an eminent civil engineer,
has been in our city during the past few days.—
lie has been appointed chief engineer of the
above named road, and Col. James F. Cooper,
who is also well known as a thoroughly scientific
and practical engineer, is with him, and is to he
his assistant in this great enterprise. The rail
road companies are exceedingly fortunate in se
curing the services of gentlemen so thoroughly
versed in the duties of their otiiees, and whose
successful experience gives confidence to all par
ties interested.”
We heartily endorse the foregoing, and augur
from it the early completion of an enterprise so
important to the development of the resources of
an interesting section of our State, and especially
nl oue of its rich and extensive valleys, known
as “Wills Valley.” But there is a railroad—the
construction of which is certain—more important
to Georgia, and especially to Atlanta, upon which
we hoped the eminent services of our fellow-cit
izen, M won Cooper, as an engineer or superin
tendent, would have been secured—we mean the
“Air-Line Railroad.” Perhaps it is not too
late yet for its Board of Directors to avail them
selves of the skill, experience, and engineering
talents of the gentleman referred to. Possessing
a thorough knowledge of the country over which
tliis road will pass, and identified with the inter
ests of Atlanta, and therefore with the success of
the Air-Line Railroad, we should like to see its
construction entrusted to him. We fear, how
ever, though we hope not, that his services,
should they he required, are now lost to it.
®J*J 1 Ibre give it space iu our editorial columns :
3 00 | “ This is no time to strain at gnats and swallow
3( ** ! camels. We should take broad views of the po
litical situation of the country, and so accomo
date ourselves to its chief aspects as to attain the
best results. We must not turn sullenly away
from the prospect presented to ns because cer
tain of its minor features are repulsive to U3.—
We should judge of it as a whole, and take or
reject it, as its merits or demerits predominate.
Besides, it is the part of wisdom to consider
whether a more promising picture is offered to
us in anj- other direction. Can our anxious gaze
anywhere in the limits of our horizon find a more
inviting landscape upon which to linger ? No,
indeed. The best is before us. We may most
devoutly wish it were better, but we shall be in
sane to refuse it.’
“In looking at the action of the Philadelphia
Convention, we see enough that pleases to cause
us for the time to ignore faults that certainly are
not unobservable to the Southern eye. Yet we
take the grand scope and tendency ot that action
with the greatest satisfaction. If it had beeD
more in accordance with Southern conviction
and feeling, it would have been more gratifying
to 11s as a mere philosophical or literary produc
tion, hut we should have had a premonition, a
melancholy assurance, that all these fine words
would butter no parsnips. The fact forgotten by
those who cavil at the resolutions and address of
the Convention, is that these documents would
have been of no political value to any hut the
Radieals had they been calculated for a South
ern latitude exclusively. The Convention was
national, its objects national, and it very wisely
enunciated national sentiments. The proof of
the conservatism, and moderation and patriotism
of that great body is found in the fact that the
Radicals in every section are terribly alarmed by
its action.”
“The Southern people should recollect that
Radicalism is the fierce foe which we - have to
combat, and that unaided iu the struggle, we are
already defeated. We must not consider too
curiously, nor he too nice in our objections, when
allies volunteer to our assistance. Radicals them
selves would he very good material to array
against Radicals; hut to esteem our Northern
friends in the Philadelphia Convention as no bet
ter, would he to do them infinite justice, and to
disgrace ourselves by measureless ingratitude.—
They were, doubtless, strong opponents of seces
sion, hut they are none the less the enemies of
radicalism. At all times lovers ot the Constitu
tion aud the Union, we should be willing to trust
them when those bulwarks of freedom are to be
defended or regained.”
“ Let it he once confessed that respect is due
not only to our convictions, hut to those of the
North, and then the impartial mind has no dif
ficulty in pronouncing the labors of the Conven
tion eminently satisfactory. If we have princi
ples and feelings to which some deference should
he paid, the masses of the North have these
things also. Tlie juste miliew, the wise mean, al
ways difficult to find and follow, was nevermore
happily and successfully pursued than at Phila
delphia. No section got all it desired, but each
received everything demanded by a proper spirit
of compromise in mutual concession.”
“ The South is to be the immediate beneficiary
of the exertions of the Convention. The main
objects proposed have direct reference to the
highest interests of the Southern States. They
are to be restored to the Union in perfect equali
ty ; their local sovereignty is to be re-established
and defended ; and the rights of their citizens are
to be vindicated. These arc prizes of immense
magnitude, and they should arouse us to every
means likely to achieve them. But what can we
do ? Our votes are unavailing as long as a Rad
ical Congress excludes our Senators and Repre
sentatives. The rote# to gain v# these desirable
things must he Northern one#. The fight—the ac
tual contest—is on Northern fields. All we can
do, then, is to yield a hearty moral support to
our allies ; to cheer them by our words of admi
ration and gratitude; and on all occasions to
wish them God-speed in their noble career. Shall
we do these things well by showing a carping
spirit ? Will a jealous fault-finding cause ani
mation in the ranks of our people? Shame on
those who arc so mad or so silly as to think so.”
“ Remembering that Northern voters are to
decide whether the South is to be restored to
the Union, it is simple fatuity to insist that the
declaration of principles should have been of a
character that could only have any favorable
effect in the South. To shout for the objects of
the Convention, and to shout against its platform,
is a rare consistency that would he satisfied only
by a course that would surely defeat the objects
so much lauded. We cannot believe that any
considerable number of the Southern people
can he so illogical, not to say foolish. It would
be a curious national political document that
should seek to please the powerless and to offend
the powerful in such conjuncture as the present.
We will he delighted if the objects sought are
gained, and the only practical question now is,
whether the Northern voters—those who alone
can make those objects ours—are pleased with
the resolutions and address of the Convention,
there is the point. Those who affect to he indif
ferent to it are enemies—whether knowingly we
shall not determine—to their country.”
“ It becomes every man now who wants to see
a fnll restoration of the rights of the people and
of the States under the Constitution, to do all
he can to have the principles and objects of the
Convention endorsed heartily by the public
voice. It will not do to indulge in fault finding.
It is easy enough to cavil. There is nothing
perfect under heaven, and those who demand
perfection iu anything here below only exhibit
an impracticable temper that will embarrass ev
ery effort ot conciliation. We believe that, as a
whole, the results of the Convention are deser
ving of praise, and we believe further that the
honest masses in all sections will disdain straw-
splitting in matters involving hope so great and
so easy of realization through prompt action.”
“ The Radicals will find an immense deal of
fault with the Convention. Let us not assist
them, however, in the ungrateful task. It is
enough for us that our rights rest upon the suc
cess of the movement begun so well at Philadel
phia.”
Confederate Bead.
We have been kindly tarnished by Major W.
D. Hoyt, of Rome, Ga., with the following list of
Georgians who died in the 2d Division of the
Jackson Hospital, at Richmond, from August,
1863, to May, 1865. Major Hoyt was on duty as
a Surgeon in the above Hospital durmg that
eventful period, and from the lips of hundreds of
Geoigians have we heard of the noble manner
in which the duties of his responsible position
were performed. The list he has kindly furnish
ed us is complete, embracing the name, rank,
.company and regiment of each man, as well as
the date of his death, and the cause thereof—
We have space only for the names, but the list
will be kept on file in this office, and interested
parties may consult it at any time, by letter or
otherwise.
We append also a list of soldiers from other
States, who died in the same hospital while it
was in the charge of Dr. Hoyt, who is now loca
ted at Rome, Ga., aud who will doubtless take
great pleasure in furnishing any information to
the relatives of the deceased.
GEORGIA.
Nl«|* Geologist.
It was in 1857, we believe, that the Legisla
ture ol Georgia created the office of State Geol
ogist. The appointment was conferred upon
Pit. Lotting, who, tor several years thereafter,
held it, making annual reports of his surveys,
discoveries, and so forth, all of which may yet
be found among the State’s archives. The ex
humation now of these reports may prove of
service al the present time, but more than these
are now demanded. The attention ot our peo
ple is now, more than ever before, directed to
the development of the mining and mineral re
sources of the State. Scientific analysis is ne
cessary to render them, as well as her thousands
of unproductive acres, productive and therefore
profitable. Our gold mines, in which are locked
millions of hidden wealth ; our copper and iron
ores, so abundant and of such excellent quality ;
are comparatively unknown to the world. Com
petent men among us believe that our gold bear
ing quartz veins will compete with those of Cal
ifornia, and perhaps excel them. Their richness,
as also the cheapness of labor and readiness with
which .all necessary machinery am be transport
ed to them, make them most desirable invest
ments. Onr iron needs from us no word of
praise ; the ores of that metal to he found in our
State are most abundant, and of the best quality.
Copper and other metals ; slate suitable tor root
ing material; granite and other rocks fit for
building purposes; we know are abundant, and
these are hut few cf our riches.

A brutal murder of a negro occurred in At
lanta, Georgia, on the night of the 10th. The
victim was first knocked down and tied to stakes
| driven into the ground, and then nitric acid was
! poured on his face and breast, his mouth alsobe-
i ing filled with the fiery stuff. The flesh from all
I parts of his body, where the acid came in con
tact, was eaten away, leaving the bones hare.—
His death had evidently been slow and lingering,
and the knee pan of the left lug.had been dislo
cated. apparently from desperate writhings to
free himself.
We notice the foregoing in the Milwaukee Sen-

men eminent iu their profession, which would
attract the attention of the scientific world, and
would, we fully believe, induce that influx of
capital, which is now the one thiug needful.
Now, then, is the time for our State to awake;
now is the time, of all others in her history,
when she needs to strain every nerve, to recu
perate her material prosperity', and to vindicate
her claim to the title of the “ Empire State."
We, therefore, respectfully suggest that our in

radical emissaries who traverse the South, to mis

In accordance with the President's proclama
tion of the 17tli instant, declaring null and void
Maximilian's paper blockade at Matamoras and
other Mexican ports, the Navy Department has
detached two men-of-war to be placed at the
mouth of the Rio Grande. The commander of
the Pacific Squadron lias also received orders to
send two men-of-war to Mazatlan and Gwaymas
to protect the interest of the Vtuted States on the
Pacific coast.

Interesting from East Tennessee.
Athens, Tenn., August 24,1866.
As among the readers of the Intelligencer
at Atlanta are to be found many persons for
merly residents of this portion of East Tennes
see, a brief correspondence may not he void of
interest.
First, in regard to crops. The people here
state that until yesterday- evening there had been
no rain for a period of ten weeks—consequently
the com crop is almost an entire failure. Enough
will not be gathered to bread the population.—
Indeed, there is not a field of good corn along the
line of railroad from the crossing of the Hiwassee
to Atlanta, according to my- observation. Be
tween this point and Greenville, in upper East
Tennessee, the seasons have been good, and the
corn and potato crops are excellent. What ren
ders the failure of the crops more to be regretted,
the people in the country where the drouth has
been most severe, have exhausted their last re
sources, and are, at least much the larger portion,
without means to purchase the necessary sup
plies.
I should have stated above that there were
heavy crops of oats and hay gathered in all the
country between the Hiwassee river and the Vir
ginia State line.
There is some little excitement in this direc
tion in regard to politics, growing out of a sys
tem of speech-making, which is being indulged
to the annoyance of the public peace and quiet.
I may be singular in the opinion, but I am cer
tainly impressed with the belief that, if the pa
triotic gentlemen who are so engaged would
employ their leisure hours in some other busi
ness, it would be much better for the country at
large, and especially for this particular section.
From some cause or other, a belief is gaining
ground that u e are on the eve of another civil
war, and it is difficult to reject the idea that
there are parties laboring zealously to bring it
about. While I do not believe there is danger,
present or remote, of anything of this kind, it is
not amiss to state that the best way to precipi
tate such a contingency is the discussion of its
probability through the press and from the
stump. Surely, we have all had enough of war—
its wasting effects upon the social aud material
prosperity of the country, are yet sufficiently
apparent to cause the most reckiess to pause and
reflect before permitting such an opinion to take
hold upon the mind ; and the people will best
preserve peace and order, and the remnant of
their liberties and rights, by rejecting the belief
whenever and wherever advanced, and by de
clining to listen to those who talk and preach in
such strains.
Circuit Court has been iu session at this place
for the last ten or twelve days, and is still some
distance from the foot of the docket. Two mur
der cases have been tried, and the parties were
acquitted in both instances. As I was not pres
ent to hear the evidence, it is not my province to
criticise the verdicts, though I may remark with
out impropriety, that while in many sections red-
handed murder is treated with peculiar leniency
by the courts, or rather juries, robbery and theft
are pretty generally rewarded by good round
terms in the penitentiary—an inconsistency in
the administration of justice which the reader
perhaps will be able to reconcile without a sug
gestion from the writer.
The Hon. Horace Maynard made a speech
here, as I am informed, on the first day of court,
which was intensely radical, and designed, of
course, to keep up and perpetuate the strife and
enmities engendered by the late war. He is rep
resented to have asserted that he had always been
an abolitionist If he told the truth on this last
occasion, there was a time when he told some
thing else, as I have a not indistinct recollection
that, like his friend and fellow-sinner Brownlow,
he used to be a famous pro-slavery man. But
Mr. Maynard's opinions of to-day do not furnish
unerring evidence of the position he will occupy
to-morrow, and as soon as the bottom falls out of
radicalism, which is certain to occur at no dis
tant day, “ Anrmadab Sleek ” will be found shift
ing his anchorage and trimming sails to catch
the popular breeze. At the time he spoke at
Athens, Sir. Maynard was accompanied by a dis
tinguished gentleman who addressed such as
could be found willing to listen, but his capacity
in that line is not sufficiently commanding
elicit from the writer even the mention of liis
name.
The weather is cool and pleasant, and the
general health of the country good—physicians
not being hard-pressed with business. Trade
dull, but little money in circulation, and provi
sious of every description high for this region—
indeed, at Atlanta prices.
Before closing, I must in justice state that I
found the Western & Atlantic "Railroad in most
excellent condition—a fact, however, which I had
anticipated from the well-known energy and ef
ficiency of its present management.

The Races at Buffalo, New York.
About three thousand persons were present at
the great saddle race, says the Buffalo Dispatch
of the 18th, between Dexter and Butler. The
day was fine and the trotting good, though the
horsemen say that the Buffalo track is not so
good as the one od which Dexter made his great
time, the best ever made by a trotting horse.
The first heat was made in 2:21; Butler, ridden
by James E. - Off, several lengths behind. In
the second heat Butler was ridden by Dan
Macey, but poor time was made, as Butler
broke badly. Time 2:36. In the third heat
both had a good start off, Butler ahead, but
Dexter soon passed him, and came home win
ner, in the unprecedented time of 2:18, and
without a break.

Tuesday, August 2s.—From our regular quotations in

terday, owing to the storm, it was especially quiet. The

ticles of commerce, with liberal reeeipt*. The supply of
Corn, however, while it is not heavy, is about equal to
tlie demand. See our regular quotations in another
place.
Liverpool Cotton Circular.
WEEKLY RETORT OF W. C. WATTS & CO.
Liverpool, August 10.-Cotton.-ln our report of Friday,
3d instant, the stock was given at 902,330 bales, and we
then quoted middling American 18?f@t4jod. On Satur
day, Monday and Tuesday, the market, influenced by tlie
unfavorable aspect of monetary affairs, continued very
dull, and prices had a downward tendency. Middling up
lands were in some instances sold on Tuesday as low as
13@13Md. On Wednesday there was some hope in a re
duction of the bank rate the following day, and with less
pressure to sell prices closed at 13>*©14yid for middling
American. Yesterday the non-reduction of the hank rate
caused the market to close in favor of buyers. To-day
telegrams from Paris announce that the Emperor of France
has demanded of Prussia the restoration of the French
frontier as it existed in 1814. This caused increased un
easiness of fresh complications in Continental affairs,
and the market closed very quiet at onr quotations as
given helow, which apply to parcels of average staple.—
Good stapled Orleans or Texas would command Kd@>fd
more than our outside figures.
The sales ol the week sum up 51,650 hales, of which
29,360 were taken by the trade, 20,570 declared for export,
and 1.750 on speculation. Included in the hales were 18,-
090 American, of which only 390 were on sppculation and
the balance for consumption. Imports were 51,326 bales,
of which 21,262 were American. The stock now stands
at 898,500 bales (a decrease 3,S30 on last week,) agalnet
272,740 last year, an increase of 524,760. Counting the
China picnls as half bales, the cotton now at sea for Great
Britain sums up 623,009 bales (an increase of 4,500 on last
week.) against 506,000 last year, an increase of 117,000,
which added to the increase in stock makes the total ap
parent excess, as compared with last year, 641,760. The
total apparent supply, here andat sea, now adds up 1,521,-
500 bales, or 670 more than shown by our last report.—
Referring particularly to American cotton, it will be seen
from our tables that the present stock is 362,340 bales,
which is 862,340 less than last week; the quantity at sea
has also decreased from 30,000 to 23,000, showing a total
reduction during the week in the apparent supply of 13,-
190 bales.
Referring again to the business of the past week it will
be seen that the actual exports were large, say 25,849 bales,
against an average of 14,582 for the last six weeks. The
purchases by the trade were, however, very small, say
29,370 bales against an average of 50,846 for the last six
weeks and 45,'250 per week since 1st January last. The
limited trade demand is mainly due to the continued high
rate of discount, which operates soriously against ship
ments oi goods to distant markets. There seems also
to be a very general opinion among the trade that the con
dition of the money market will force holders of cotton
to supply the demand freely at current rates, and by pur
chasing only to supply immediate wants they can force
down prices. There seems to be no doubt but there is a
large number of orders for goods only awaiting a reduc
tion in tho bank rate to he given out, aud tuns create a
very active business at Manchester and a large trade de
mand here for the raw material. We shonld hero add,
that whilst trade at Manchester the past week was qniet,
aud prices in some instances weaker, there is no accumu
lation of stock aud no apparent pressure to sell.
The bank report this week shows a decrease of £170,.
911 in bullion; the position of the bank is, however,
rather stronger than last week. We further learn that an
effort is being made by influential banks and bankers in
London to induce the 'Government to permit the Bank of
England to lower the rate without giving up the Treasury
letter suspending the hank act. This has led no renewed
hope of a reduction next week.
Advices from Bombay report small shipments, say 16,-
000 to 20,000 bales in July, agninst an average of about
124,000 per month the preceding six months. The sowing
season had not commenced on the 7th ultimo, and it was
generally supposed the low prices current here would
check production. From Egypt we have favorable ac
counts of the growing crop. From New York we have
telegrams to thoGth instant, quoting middling uplands
at 35M<: and gold at 147?i
