They Consider the (jnestinn of Estab lishing it Grange Warehouse In Columbus. , —U - Executive Committee Authorized to Act Yesterday, according to previous notice, the representatives of a number of the Granges of this section, both of Georgia and Alabama, mot In this city. Tbe main object was to hear the report of tho Exec utive Comm l ttoe previously Instructed to take Into consideration the question of es tablishing a Grange Warehouse In Colum bus, and to ascertain how much cotton could be promised to suoh a warehouse by tho Grangers of this section. The Executive Committee made the fol lowing report. REPORT OF EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE ON GRANGE WAREHOUSE. Mr, Chairman : Sines our last general meeting your Executive Committee have had under consideration the propriety of establishing a Grange Warehouse in this city. After making some investigation on the subject, your oommltteo decided It was advisable to call another general meeting in order that wo might more fully survey the out-look before taking any decisive action. It la deemed desirable, In fact all Important, to ascertain what pledges for support and patronage we have in hand, and In prospect, before we take any steps to inaugurate the proposed enter prise. Good and reliable parties are willing to store our cotton for 20c. per bale, provided they have proper pledges for patronage to the amount of 6,000 bales; and If the amount of receipts should go beyond these figures, isay to 10,000 or 12,000 bales, In thateveut, then a further reduction in price of storage would be conceded. From the best obtainable information by the Executive Committee, we are ol the opinion that not more than two-thirds of the lnoomlng crop of eottou In the ter ritory tributary to Columbus, is now, or Is likely to bo pledged to other ware houses In this city. Setting down tho incoming crop at, say 60,000 bales for the Ooiumbus market, wnich is a low estimate (10,000 less than tlio past season), and taking one-third ot that amount, 20,000, as a reasonable esti mate that is not now, or likely to be pledged, can’t wo by some diligence, at least, secure of the unpledged cotton hall that amount, say 10,000 bales for our pro posed Grange Warehouse, which would ensure its success beyond a doubt? Are those estimates reasonable? If so, shall we make the effort to inaugurate a Grange Warehouse in Columbus? or shull wo fold our hands supinely and publish to tho world that wo will grumble and com plain, but wo will submit to any rates that any combination may think proper to assess? In conclusion, wo respeetfully suggest a low reasons why we think it is best to go forward. Ist. Money saved is money made. The difference in storage between 250 and 50c per bale will amount to an item worthy of our attention. 2d. Tho establishment of a Grange Warehouse in this city' will have tho ef fect of roviving and perpetuating the now languishing order of Patrons of Husband ry in this part of tire country—a result devoutly to be desired, inasmuch as the prosperity of the agricultural interests ot the country are largely dependant upou that improvement and progress which alone can come of association. The pros perity of tho agricultural Is the basis of prosperity of all other classes. Bd. Tho establishment of a Grange Warehouse in this city cannot fail to teach, to all whom it may concern, this useful lesson: Thut no class, combination or monopoly shall interfere to the farm er’s injury, to prevent the free operation of the great law of “supply and demand,” "Which is tho true regulator of prices for labor and produce. In former times tho farmers, as a class, were powerless In resisting improper combinations; but now they have a potent remedy at bund for all such evils—an organization by whose magic power they can, if proporly employed, emancipate themsolves. Let them rally again under their honored banner, ami let their watch word be “co-operation - ’ for self,protection, equal and exact justice to all, but no t a cent for tributo. Tho representatives of the several Granges were then called upon to report how many bales of cotton they could safely promise from the members of their respective Granges. The result was a showing of an amount exceeding that asked for by tho Committee. After some discussion, a resolution was adopted requesting the several Granges to make up, as soon as practicable, sub scriptions of cotton in a more formal manner, and to forward them to the Ex ecutive Committee; also, authorizing that Committee to make arrangements for es tablishing a Grange Warehouse in their discretion; otherwise to come to an agree ment with Some warehouse that will store cotton at 25 cents per hale, or less.

Democrat.] New York, June 13.—Capt. Charles Macleou, of tho ship Geneva, which sunk at Huquanillos iu tho great earthquukeou the Pacilic const, on tho 9tu ult., has arrived and tolls the story of his experiences. Ho says that, though apparently safely an chored, his ship became entangled with others near, as they tossed wild ly about, crashing against each oth er, and sinking almost immediately in llfteeu fathoms of water. On the first' alarm, he came up from between the decks, It was then about 8:30 P. M. There had been several shocks in the previous twenty days.but he had, nevertheless, completed his cargo of guano and was expecting to sail the next morning. Aside from the fright ful rumbling souud, his attention was arrested by the extraordinary phenomena of the shore and moun tain above being so much agitated that great rocks became detuctied and rolled down toward the sea, re sembling balls of fire. Furthermore, the water at the anchorage suddenly receded, so that ships in eight fath oms touched bottom. At the same time it was observed that the ships were swinging round and round and in opposite directions. The anchor chains then became en tangled beneath the copper yards and the masts interlocking, while the air resounded with falling spars and the crash of bulwarks. The water came surging in like a maelstrom, causing tho Geneva to swing round at the rate of eight or ten knots in great circles until she struck against a rock, which tore out part of her bot tom. The ship was forced violently in an opposite direction and wout down. The other vessels were as violently driven ashore or went to the bottom, as iu tho case of tho English ship Avonmore, Captain Cranlield, which took doivu with her the captain’s wife, three childrejyaod several oth ers. Capt. Macleon says it seemed to him from the sulphurous or electri cal appearance of the mountain that the volcano was bursting out at its sides; the rocks were tumbling about with frightful noise and everything was lighted up. He thinks that the damage to the i shipping was caused not so much by tho tidal wave ns by the upward rush of water anc| rotary currents drawiug the ships repeatedly against each other.
