Our mineral Heiu'irees.
From an intelligent practical t jurce—a gentle
man, native ot this Btate whom we have known
since hi?, early manhood, and who, for some six
teen years or more, has l.-een engaged in mining
operaiiosa on the P«i ifir, but who, lor some
months past, has been engaged in examining
the mineral resources ot several of the upper
counties ol this Btate—we allude to Ms. T. W.
Brooks, of Coweta county—we gather the fol
lowing itema of valuable and interesting infor
mation.
It Is the opinion of Mr. Brooks that the
minerals of Georgia lor richness and extent, is
far greater than its people realize. Mining has
been greatly abused. The speculative miner
with concocted plans for swindling, previous
even to seeing our mines, has been the
cause of many a failure tes develop
them ; while scientific inexperienced, ex
perimenters on mining, have also signally
railed to do so. It is these, who, with their
projects of milling or working of ores, in the
absence of practical knowledge, have been the
cause ot most of the disasters that have attend*
cd the working of the mines in the upper part
of the State, most of which properly worked
would have proved profitable to the owners
thereof. To the owners, too, of mineral lands
generally in the btate, he ascribes much ol the
failure to develop them that has prevailed in
the past, and still prevails, in this, the exhorbi-
tant value set upon them—unwarranted prices
being demanded for them. Another obstacle,
too, to their development, by the practical
miner, are contingencies met with in every
locality— copartnerships with the owners of the
mines arc exacted who do not recognize the
fair rule of “give and take.”
Mr. Brooks has just retnrued from Gilmer
county, where he has been oper&'ing success-
lully, with some ol the improved modes ot the
West. He brings with him a sick brother,
whom lie lias placed under medical treatment,
and will. In a few weeks visit Texas. His opin
ion is decided that mining in Georgia would
prove profitable in the highest dfgree, if the
owners ot mineitil lauds in the Mate would
only be reasonable in their prices lor them and
not exact from the practical miner all the profit
derived Irom their yield.
Gorton f*roi>peeio.
But a lew weeks ago, the planters In this State
aud throughout the South, were rejoicing in the
prospects before them ol making a good cotton
crop—at least more than an average one. The
indications now are llmt the crop will fall far
short ol their expec tations. We note first the
1 .llowiug lrom the Memphis Avalanche of the
20th rnstanl. That paper says : “The condition
ol the cotton crops are less favorable than they
were a week since. Continued heavy rains are
doing cotton fields injury, filling them with
gi ve, and rotting the maturing bo'.Is. Several
planters from the valley lands south of us are
gloomy over the prospect. The hill crops have
sustained much lets injury, and dry weather
from this out may yet ullord as great a yield as
the picking capacity can get out.
next, we have the following from the Colum
bus Sun, of the 2fltbinstant, whose editor says:
“ A short trip into the country has enabled us
to realize the extent oi the disaster which has
recently overtaken the cotton of Georgia and
Alabama, more especially where it had been
manured. By this disaster the entire crop that
bloomed since July, is lost. In many places the
plant presents the appearauces ol being dead,
and all, or nearly all the bolls open, many pre
maturely. This is terrible on those who bought
fertilizers on a credit to be paid out ol the pro
duct. in many instances, not enough will be
made at present prices lor the staple, to foot the
bill for fertilizers. Few men throughout this
whole section, we are satisfied, can foot expense
bills for cultivation at a price below thirty
cents.”
Then the Dawson Journal of the 25th, says:
“ Ho discount on the weather as to heat, aud
all vegetation is suffering for want of rain.
Great complaint of rust in cotton. Fields of
cotton that were white with blooms two weeks
ago, are now white with opened cotton. Crop
cut ofi one-third.”
These are all discouraging accounts, so far
as the quantity ot cotton raised is con
cerned, but as the less ot that staple is growD,
the higher will be its price, our farmers will not
sutler much, indeed but very little, especially it
they have not neglected to grow corn enough
to do them the coming year. Neglecting to do
this, they will be certain to repent their folly.
“The Flag of the Union ,s
The following wo clip from the Louisville
Courier-Journal. There is something in it, de
spite the wrongs inflicted upon the South by the
North, that we like. In battle it waved over
the focmen of the South, and we have always
thought that had it waved over our own gallant
soldiery in that great sectional contest; or, in
other words, had the South maintained her
cause in aud not out ot the Union ; the result
might have been quite different. For the
“ Flag ” itself, it was designed and unlurled by
the decree not of those who, in their triumph,
have placed stains upon it, but ol a more patri
otic breed, men of noble blood who have passed
away, aud who3o “ like,” we fear we “ shall not
see again.” But under the same “ Old Flag"
the South will have to march ; over her people
it will continue to wave; and is it not better
for tL South to uphold it as they once did,
patriotically and gallantly, one of her provinces
being the removal ol whatever ot stain, on her
judgment may be upon it, so that again it may
become emblematical of that which the Fathers
of the Republic desiened it should be—a Union
of sister States as represented in its Staus, and
a terror to tho enemies of lree government, is
represented in its Stripes.
Says the Courier Journal:
“ The sword has decided that the Union shall
stand ; and, if the North and the South are to
live together,the voice of common sense, no less
than the instinct ol human nainre, calls tor a
truce to violent passions. Tho people of this
country are Got prepared lor an imperial oligar
chy or a Repuplican despotism. They want a
union of reciprocal interests, a mutual and a
just union ot free and equal States, and they
know that this cannot be obtained without some
concessions and sacrifices on both sides. The
red-hot Radicals and the red hot Democrats
would commit us to an endless war—to a war
oi ignorauce and hate—which could end only
with the loss of our liberties, losing us mean
while our laws. The national Democratic par
ty steps out holdly to the music of the mture—
the music ot tieedom, peace and union, a new
and a go '-like trinity—marching under the flag
ol our littlitis.
“The Flag ot the Union, which has been des
ecrated by a thousaud unworthy uses, which
lias been employed as the drop-cuitaiu in a par-
lizan playhouse, covering all sorts ot bad actions
aud bad men, is to Ik* snatched out ot the jaws
of death, chastened and purified by blood and
tea - - and raised once more as a symbol ot pro-
tec u over ttie host ot the Lord. That host
does not propose to sing in honor either ot John
Brown’s body or John Brown's soul. It pro
poses as it moves forward to the light to take
up an older and a sweeter song, a song suited
to the ensign amt the cause, a song whose tones
will bring back many a wandering heart to its
better sell aud recall many a vagrant footstep to
the beateu tracks that were worn into the
American system by the patriots of other days,
an old, God blessed, lainiliar song, which the
people have not forgotten to sing—

The Rumors of Cabinet Chan:e>.
Washington accounts s'ate that there is the
best authority for saying that there is no foun
dation in fact for the late stories of Cabinet
reconstruction. Neither the mission to Berlin
nor that to London has been offered to Secre
tary (fox. The !'resident has given no intima
tion of a desire to change any of the present
Cabinet. These ,-tories relate chiefly to the
interior Department. It is now known that
they originated and have since been persistently
circulated by per-ons acting in the interests ot
several Indian and land rings that have of late
been badly defeated. The same persons who
have been palming their statements off on the
press with a view to create an impression that a
change was probable, have at the same time
been pulling political wires to secure the desit ed
result. In a word, the whole thing is an at
tempt to break down the administration of the
Interior Department.
Tbc Uniced State* to mediate.
The New York Times of Monday has a double-
lcaded e mortal, asking the United States to in*
terfere and stop the war. It says : “We are at
a crisis in which our influence might be exerted
with great hope; we might almost say in the
certain confidence of doing good. It the Presi
dent would address a letter to the King ot Pros-
s'a it would produce an instant effect. The
United Mates would have ten times more influ
ence than any European power. It seems to be
a solemn duty on our part to use this influence.
The movement is propitious. The President
ought to act, and act at once, and to save this
country lrom the reproach of having done noth
ing to check the awful bloodshed.”
Eoulsrtlle (Kjr.) medical College— A Noble
Benefaction.
The Trustees of the Louisville Medical College
(Louisville, Ky.) have created one of the most
liberal and noble benefactions ever conferred by
a public institution upon any people. The trus
tees of this college have instituted one Benefici
ary Scholarship for each Congressional District
in the Southern and surrounding States. By
this means very many poor but deserving young
men will be enabled to obtain a thorough medi
cal education. Any young man wiahing to take
advantage of this benefaction has only to write
to the Representative of the Congressional Dis
trict in which he resides, or to the President of
the Medical Society of this State, or to Dr. E.
8. Gaillard, Dean of Faculty of the Louisville
Medical College, Loniaville, Ky., when he will
receive fall information of all that it is necessary
for him to do to secure one ot these Scholarships.
With proper and welcome delicacy the names
of those who have seenred the Beneficiary
Scholarships will be known only to the Dean of
the Faculty. It is unnecessary to commend
those who have established these noble Benefi
ciary Scholarships. Their act will bring them
commendations wherever it is known.
The Fall Trade.
The New York Herald has an encouraging ar
ticle to business men in the fall trade. It says
that the “merchants and business people of all
pursuits have lively expectations of a brisk fall
trade this season, and the signs ol the times are
very encouraging. The war in Europe will
certainly enlarge the demand abroad for our
breadstuff and provisions, and the general pros
perity of the country has been, and continues to
be such as to warrant a geatly increased amount
o! business in what is known as the fall trade ot
onr great seaport cities, beginning with New
York. In a word, we expect for New York a
very briek fall season; and, looking at our ad
vertising columns, it is apparent that our fall
business has already commenced, and will soon
be in full blast.”
A Cartoua Result or War.
A carious result of the war between France
and Pruseia is reported in late foreign papers,—
It is stated that a large number ot simultaneous
marriages have taken place in the Prussian ar
my. On the 31st nit., a great nnmber ot milita
ry weddings were performed at Altona, by ex
press permission oi the King, and the special
relaxation of the standing order that the banes
must be published three times. In Berlin, on
the same Sunday, in the garrison cbnrcb in that
city, more than one hundred soldiers and their
betrothed were bound together in holy matri
mony. The object appears to be that though
they will necessarily be separated from their
youDg wives duritig the honeymoon, the hus
bands have the satisfaction of knowing that in
case of their being killed their widows will be
adequately provided for by their grateful coun
try.
Tragedy at Hot Spring**
John Ward, formerly of Scott county, Ky.,
and a brother ot Zeb Ward, was shot and killed
Thursday at Hot Springs, Arkansas, by Dr. O.
B. Ku&de, formerly of Memphis. Ward had
shot his son-in-law, named Ammons, a few days
before. Knade had cared for Ammons, which
excited Ur: ire of Ward, who threatened to kill
Kb?. ’ ", who seeing him passing his office, fired
with k snot gun, killing him instantly. Knade
gave himself up.
Cleopatra's extravagant feat oi dissolving a
costly pearl in vinegar and drinking it ofl at a
bauquet, had its exact parallel in England dar
ing Elizabeth’s reign. That grave and other
wise frugal citizen, Sir. Thomas Gresham, is
said to have reduced to powder a pearl valued
at fifteen thousand pounds, and to have drunk it
in a glass oi wine to the health of her Majesty,
thereby winning hie wager irom the Spanish
Ambassador as to which ol them would give
the most costly dinner.

A Texan’s Dream.
“I dreamed,” said he, “that the day of judg
ment bad come, and contrary to. all the teach
ings of my youth, it appeared that mankind
were not to be judged individually, but by gov
ernments, by nationalities, and by States. The
first government called to judgment was that of
England; and as soon as the name of England
sounded the immortal Burke arose from his
grave, and declared that he had lived and died
in England, that he knew her people to be loyal
alike to God and their country; and on hiB re
commendation Ragland passed into the celestial
city.
The next Government called to account was
the United States of America, and when the
name of America sounded Mount Yernon trem
bled as the immortal Washington arose from his
grave and prayed that his Government should
not be tried as England had been as a consoli
dated despotism, but as free, sovereign and In
dependent States.
Tbe first State called to account was old
Virginia, and as soon as the name of Virginia
sounded the immortal Henry arose to his
feet, and declared he had lived and died in Vir
ginia ; that he knew her people to be loyal alike
to God and the country, and on his recommen
dation Virginia passed through the gates into
tbc city.
The next State called to judgment was South
Carolina, and as soon as tbe name of South Car
olina sounded, John C. Calhoun arose from his
f rave aud declared that with all her faults be
new her people to be loyal alike to God and
country; and on his recommendation South
Carolina passed into the celestial city.
The third State called to account was the State
of Louisiana; and as soon as the name of Louis
iana sounded, Hem v Watkins Allen, burning
asunder his beauiiiut fl twer-decked tomb, arose
and proclaimed that he had lived and governed
in Louisiana, but died in exile, that he knew her
people to be loyal to God and the Southern Con
federacy ; and on his recommendation Louisi
ana passed into the celestial city, amid the re
joicing songs of heavenly hosts.
The next State called to judgment was the
Lone Star State ot Texas ; and as soon as tbs
name Texas sounded the immortal Houston
rose from his tomb clothed in the babilliments
ol the soldier, spoke of the battle of San Jacin
to, and declared that he knew her people to be
loyal alike to God and the country; and just as
the Lone Star was about to pass through the
gate into the city, that scallawag Jack Hamilton,
sprung to his feet, and swore that he represented
the cowpcns ot the Lone Star State, that he
knew her people to be disloyal alike to God and
the country, and on hiB ipse dixit Texas went

McBride & Co.—It always gives us pleasure
to speak of this house because it has drawn
such an amount ot trade to Atlanta, in having
superior advantages in obtaining goods. It has
thrown vast quantities of goods on tbe market
in all the Southern States, east ot the Missis
sippi, except Louisians, at such figures that no
market can lower ibem. Its business was so
extensive and i s help so inexperienced that
it was necessar\ to secure the services of an ex
perienced business man, in their particular line,
to better systematize their shipping and select
ing goods.
This honse receives orders Irom Augusta, Ma
con, Columbus, Montgomery, Selma, Mobile,
and several points in Mississippi and Tennessee.
Mr. Henry D Law, one of the partners in
the house, an old crockery importer, of New
Yv.rk city, makes all purchases aud furnishes
this hr ise with all goods of foreigu manufac
ture. me paid our city a visit this summer and
spent several days looking at Atlanta enterprise,
bestowing compliments on the energies ot our
citizens. At his request Colonel McBride went
on to New York city, to make selections lrom
stocks ot goods most suitable for this market—
They sent forward immediately one of the
largest shipments that has been or will be re
ceived in this market, perhaps, daring the sea
son ; taking due advantage ot the many compe
ting routes! They have leased that large build
ing now being erected on Broad and Marietta,
and ate having it finished to snit their business.
This will give them more room. They will con
tinue their house on Whitehall also, we are in
formed.
Such a house truly deserves eulogy in draw
ing trade to Atlanta.
McMahon to his Soldiers— Paris, August
16 —Tbe following is an order ot the day issued
by Marshal McMahon:
“Soldiers: In the battle of August 6th, for
tune betrayed your coutage, but yon yielded
your oorition only after an heroic resistance,
which lasted not less than nine hours. You
were 35,000 against 140,000, and were over
whelmed by force of numbers. Under these
conditions defeat is glorious, and history will
say that in the battle of Froschweiler the French
showed the greatest valor. Ton have suffered
heavy losses, tut thus.- <>l the enemy are much
greater. AUb< uglt you have not been success
ful, you see cause in your misfortune which
makes the Emperor satisfied with you and the
entire country recognize that you have worthily
sustirned the honor ol the flag. Li t u« show
that though subject to the severest tests, the 1st
Corps, forgeuing this dosts up its ranks, and,
God aiding us, let us se ; ze a great and brilliant
revenge.”
Aoruiou Epithets.
According to the Salt Lake Nttts (Mormon)
the Rev. Mr. Newman, while discussing polyga
my in that city, talked of “ T.»inoop i the mur
derer ;" " Abraham, the coward; ” “ Jacob, the
swindler, liar, and thief; ” “ Gideon the bastard
and idolator; ” “ David, the adulterer and mur
derer,” and “ Solomon, the man who built altars
to worship the god Moloch.”
Tne Two Opinions on the War.
With respect to the ultimate result of the
Prussian movement on the capital the opinions
expressed are widely conflicting. Mr. G&illar-
det believes that McMahon will conquer a bril
liant revenge. The Paris correspondent of the
New York limes expresses a similar belief in
still stronger terms. On the other hand, the set
tled conviction in London is that the Prussians
will encounter no serious obstacle on their march
to Paris, and that when they reach there the re
sistance will be but slight.
With two such conflicting opinions as these,
how is it possible that any one, so remote from
the scenes ot action, as editors of the Georgia
press are, can, with any degree of confi
dence, predict the final success of either of the
great powers—France or Prussia—engaged now
ia war ? And yet it is done, as the colnmns ot
most of our exchanges show!
As His Home.
The Elberton Gazette ot the 24th instant says,
that the Hon. Amos T. Akerman arrived at
home on Saturday last, apparently in good
health. We learn that he will perhaps remain
until after Court.
Since the foregoing was written, we notice in
Senate proceedings of yesterday, that Mr.
Akebman is in the city, a seat on the floor ot
that body being tendered to him while he re
mains here. __
Dramatic Season In Atlanta.
Advices have been received that Miss Laura
Keene has already made ariaugements for her
Southern dramatic tour, which embraces At
lanta with the following distinguished dramatic
artists, to wit: Edwin Forrest, the American

the Chapman Sisters, the Fox and Denier
Troupe, the celebrated British Blondes, and Mr.
and Mrs. Harry Watkins. Opera also will be
represented—French, English and Italian. The
active and energetic manager, Mr. Charles H.
Day, is, at present in New York, and every
thing is being done that can in any way con
tribute to the success of the season. Miss Keene

Bismarck’s Conditions ol Peace.
There h is been several important conferences
amongst the different diplomatic agents, but
tbere was no mention of any peace oven urea,
such as the English papers report. All that is
known here is that Bismarck has indirectly sent
information to La Tour de la Auverque that
Prussia would only conclude peace upon the
bads which will only make it impossible lor
France to think of future ravages.
President’s Owice
Nashville and Chattanooga and
Nashville and Northwestern Railways
Nashville, Tenn„ August 2b, 1870,
Bon. Foster Blodgett, Superintendent, &c., Western
and Atlantic Railroad, Atlanta, Georgia :
Mv Dear Sir—I have just returned from
Georgia, and having passed over the Western
and Atlantic Railroad, both in going and re
turning, I request to say, and trust you will not
take offense at my saying, that you have a
vast amount of work to do on your road bed,
bridges, &c, in order to insure safety and conveni
ence in the transportation^of the heavy business,
we anticipate the coming season.
Last season’s blockade of freight at Chattanoo
ga will readily remind you of the want of addi
tional engines and cars on your road, and we
expect to not only maintain, but greatly increase
the freights the coming season.
You will not feel surprised at my anxiety for
the good condition and fall equipment of your
road, when you recollect the fact that I am
officially connected with three hundred and
thirty miles of railway north of your road, and
With about two hundred and thirty miles south
of your line, and connecting directly at each
end of the Western and Atlantic Railroad, and
our success in a great degree depending upon
the promptness with which the freights may be
dispatched over your road.
This is not a question that interests alone your
road and ours, but one which effects directly or
indirectly every citizen of Georgia, and those in
the West trading with your section.
Trusting that these considerations may stimu
late you to put forth your usual zeal to meet the
crisis now upon you.
I am, very respectfully,
Your obedient servant,
E. W. Cole.
President, etc.
Western and Atlantic Railroad,
Office Supekintedent.
Atlanta, Ga., Aug.
Col. E. W. Cole, President Nashville and Chatta
nooga and North Western Railroad, and Gen
eral Superintendent Georgia Railroad and
Banking Company, Nashville, Tenn.:
My Dear Sir—In response to your esteemed
favor of the 25th inst, would say that I fully
appreciate the force of the suggestion you are
pleased to make in reference to the condition of
this road, and that I am still doing everything
in my power to put the road in first class
condition.
To this end almost the entire net earnings of
the road have been expended in payment of
contracts for material and stock made by my
predecessor, and in the purchase ot new iron,
rolling stock, motive power and equipment tor
the road ordered by myself. But for these nec
essary expenditures, I would have been able to
make larger payments into the State Treasury
than perhaps have been made for years past, as
the business of the road has been larger than
heretofore.
These expenditures have enabled me to put
the road in better condition than it was last year;
but there is, as you suggest, much yet to be done
in order to meet the demands of trade;
There is some forty odd miles of the road
that requires new iron; the safety of the road
demands this, and I hope to be able to supply it
soon. We also need at least 250 additional
freight cars, and at least 5 more first class freight
engines. These, in addition to the repairs cf
bridges and road bed, which yon suggest, will
require additional heavy outlays cf money; and
in view of the heavy payments made, and to be
made, for repairs and stock contracted for by
my predecessor, and those 1 have thought ne
cessary to make, it will be impossible to pnt the
road in first class condition and supply it with
sufficient rolling stock and motive power to do
the heavy business anticipated by you this fall,
without an appropriation by the State for that
purpose.
The Joint Committee of our Legislature
appointed to investigate the affairs of the road,
recommend in their report to the Legislature,
an appropriation at once, for putting the road
in first-class condition; and a bill, as I learn,
has been introduced for that purpose. Should
the recommendation ol the Committee be
promptly acted upon, I hope to be able to place
the road in a condition second to that of no
railway in the United States, and consequently,
in a condition to keep clear of all “ freight
blockades” during the ensuing season.
Thanking you for your timely suggestions
and with sentiments of great esteem, I remain
yours, very respectfully,
Foster Blodgett, Superintendent.

McMahon claims that he himself had only
thirty-five thousand, and in crushing this
thirty-five thousand, the forty thousand, with
the poorer troops behind, suffered very heavily.
This, perhaps, accounts for the care with which
the Prince has moved in bis subsequent opera

MIDNIGHT DISPATCHES.
NEW YORK.
New York, August 28.—The Sun's special
from Arion via Brussels, says that the Prussians
are making a flank movement on McMahon.—
McMahon occupies the line from Troges to
Stecay, leaning on Mezieras, Sedan and Monte-
medy, with Belgian bounding behind.
The Prussians who were marching on Paris
have been deployed from Steamy to Troges.—
They have changed their location, instead ot
going West they are going North.
Troops arriving at Troges passes on through
in the direction of Suippes.
A great battle will certainly occur soon
between Rethel and Montmedy. Don’t believe
tbe dispatch from Rethel saying that McMahon
and Bazaina are in communication.
FOREIGN.
London, August 29.—Advices from the seat
of war:
The Emperor’s headquarters are at Vauziers.
It is thought that the Crown Prince is moving
northward and will encounter McMahon west
of Rheim8 and Thenoy.
The French repulsed the Prussians fi lew
miles nortwest of Vauziers.
A later dispatch states that Steinmetz march
ed northward pursuing McMahon to prevent
him from disturbing the Prussians investing
Metz.
Paris, August 29.—A letter, describing the
preparations for the siege says that 200,000 good
troops are in Paris. Fresh thousands ot well
armed men arrive hourly.. A new corps from
Lyons has arrived. The city is swarming with
troops. The strong conviction of the enemy
will be checked.
Tbe State Fair—Another Premium Offered
It will be seen in the following, that a hand
some premium is offered by Messrs. Redwine &
Fox, of this city, to the lady who at the ensu
ing State Fair shall be declared the best per
former on horseback. For this premium we
anticipate much competition, for the reason that
Georgia contains a large nnmber of fine lady-
riders upon horseback, from among whom, es
pecially in the vicinity of the Fair Grounds, the
competition will come:
Atlanta, Ga., August 29,1870.
Colonel D. W. Lewis :
Dear Sir—In order to encourage the beau
tiful exercise of horsehack riding, among the
fair of our country, we offer the following spe
cial premium: For the best lady rider at the en
suing State Fair, a Toilet Set and Rosewood
Dressing Case, worth Fifty Dollars. Very re
spectfully, Redwine & Fox.
An Excellent Chairman.
We learn, says the Augusta Constitutionalist,
that in all probability, the Hon. Linton Stephens
will be chosen Chairman of the Executive Com
mittee of the Democratic party of Georgia.
Price or Pood.
The price of food in rear of the Prussian army
has advanced exorbitantly. Bread on the Rhine
is seventy-five cents per loaf.
This is as bad as it was in the South, during
the late war.
Wheat Growing States.
Illinois and Iowa are now said to stand at the
head of the wheat-growing States. In former
times Pennsylvania took the lead. This is
claimed as another and a very strong indication
that empire is rapidly drifting westward.
Well Pnt.
A Democratic contemporary pnts a point very
neatly in this manner: The Radical idea of
protection to American industry—immense
tariffs to keep up the price of manufactured
articles, and Coolie competition to grind down
to starvation prices the labor ot the workingmen
Wheat Shopped.—Wehave taken some pains
to ascertain the amount ot wheat shipped by our
Calhoun grain buyers, and find it to be about
27,897 bushels.—Calhoun Times.
Tbe Cost of Reconstruction.
Colonel Stanton of the Paymaster’s office, has
just completed a settlement of the last of the
claims on account of expenses of reconstruction
in Mississippi and Arkansas. The whole cost
in the former State was about $325,000, aud in
the latter $175,000.
Prince ot Wales.
The Prince and Princess of Wales, it is said,
are unusually harmonious in their almost open
sympathies with the French. The Prince’s feel
ing is believed to rest in bis great dislike of his
brother-in-law, the Crown Prince of Prussia.

That the world is a progressive one, and
that startling inventions meet onr view almost
daily, is evident to any observing mind; and
those who by their inventions not only add to
our comforts, but lessen our expenses, are cer
tainly public benefactors. We can safely say,
Messrs. Cately Brothers, of New York, (the
largest importers and manufacturers of watches
in this couatry,) have achieved a miracle in their
recent discovery of a combination ot chemicals
and materials, that compose a beautiful metal,
that actually supplies the place of Pure Gold
in point ot brilliancy of color, weight, and
durability in wear. It so nearly approaches
that costly metal, that there is no perceptible
difference, save in cost, and from this, which
i hey have very properly named the Cately Gold
.Vleial, they have commenced manufacturing a
new and beautiful style of reliable watches and
chains it remarkably low prices. Their watches
have been highly recommended for years, as
first-class in all respects, by Government and
Railroad ^Officials, and are destined to be used
by every one who prizes a well regulated ana
correct time keeper Frank. Leslie’s Illustrated,
of Augnst 22d, justly says: “ Cately Brothers
have combined two very desirable things in a
watch, ch-apness and durability; when it is
known ibat lor $15 a person can have an excel
lent time piece, there will he greater punctuality
in all the aflaixs of life.” jyl6-dw3m
Destruction of • College by Fire.
The Baptist Female College at Tnskegee,
Alabama, was burned to the ground on Friday
week last. The college had bat recently been
remodelled and refitted at a heavy expense, and
was expected to re-open in a few weeks under
very favorable auspices. The fire is believed to
be tbe work of an incendiary.
State Record.
The cutting affray between Messrs. Jerry
Holmes and J. B. Morris, on Friday, was the
universal topic of conversation yesterday, divid
ing the public “talk” with the war.
The accounts as to the origin of the affray
and of what actually took place, are eo conflict
ing, that in the absence of any definite informa
tion, we refrain Irom publishing any of them,
for tear we m iy injure, unintentionally, some one
or other. We should have published the par
ties in yesterday’s issue, but that Lieut. Kim-
brew, of the police force, conveyed to us an
earnest request from the wounded man to ab
stain, for fear of some ot his family, who were
sick, hearing ol the affair, without due prepara
tion. We, of course, complied, but as our con
temporary published the names in lull, we can
not see why we should have been requested not
to publish. Mi. Holmes is the senior partner of
J. Holmes & Ca, a large wholesale grocery firm
of this city. Captain Morris is a distinguished
Confederate soldier, and is an attache of Johnson,
Campbell, & Co., another large firm in the same
line of business. Mr. Holmes is pronounced by
his surgeons, Drs. Johnson, Wright and Holmes,
as being ont of immediate danger, and with
every probability of a speedy recovery.—Macon
Journal, 21 si.
Difficulty Adjusted.—We are gratified to
record that the difficulty pending for some days
between two of our promising young lawyers
has been satisfactorily adjusted, without resort
to the field of honor. The basis ot the settle-
pient, we understand, to be the unconditional
withdrawal of the offensive language on the
port of the gentleman by whom it was used.—
Augusta Constitutionalist.
The Crops.—As a general thing, the corn and
cotton crops in this county are ab >ut as goo! at
the land ia capable of producing, where it has
been properly worked. All classes of our citi
zens appear to be hopeful of better times short
ly. God knows there*is room lor improvement.
—Elberton Gazette.
Georgia Ice Company.—Thirls the title of
a company recently formed in Augusta for the
manufacture of ice.' the Constitutionalist says
“The capital stock of the company has been
fixed at $20,000, all of which has been taken.
The machine, which is expected to arrive and
be in operation within three weeks, will he capa
ble of turning out twelve tons of ice per day, in
blocks twenty-four inches thick, and which con
be supplied to consumers at one cent per pound,
perhaps less. The site selected for at least the
temporary location of the machine is on the
premises of the large furniture store of the
Messrs. Blatt Brothers, upon which is located
an immense cistern of cool limpid water, over
one hundred feet in length, and eighteen feet in
width, and eleven feet deep, and with twenty
hone engine, belting and every necessary appli-1

“ Stealthg from Old Nefttjne.”—The pat
ent method, by whicb^Carrageen or Irish Moss is
converted into Sea Moss Farine, is a very labor
ious and complicated one. The raw material Is
first deprived of its bitterness by repeated wash
ings. It-is then carefully picked over bvhand
and desiccated—in other words, deprived ot all
moisture, after which it passes through a series
of mills and other apparatus, by which it is
cleansed from every impurity, and pulverized
and concentrated, without being robbed of its
refreshing ocean flavor. Having thus been
manipulated and put up in convenient packages,
it is ready for conversion into suet as Blanc
Mange, Puddings, Creams, Gruels, Cream Pies,
Soups, Sauces, &c., as are not producible with
any other material, however expensive.

Whereas, It is further made known to this Depart

under arrest in charge of a Constable in pursuance of a

havir g been securely chained to the wall ot a house by
the said Constable, was leit by him in company of
Harris, who then, being fully aware of the Inability of
the prisoner to defend himselt against his murderous
attack, thus took advantage ol the trust reposed in him
by said officer, and in a most brutal and cowardly man
ner shot the prisoner three times, either ol which shots,
as is alleged, was fatal enough to produce death instant
ly; and
Whereas, The eaid Harris, having subsequent to said
murder, been arrested and kept in custody for a few hours,
was allowed to make his escape, he walking off by per
mission ot the officer having him In charge under the
pretense that he would return in a few minutes; and
