The recent little spurt la the prices
of pork and baoon had the effect of
stimulating summer packing, which
is now greatly In excess of last year’s
operations.
The city of Charleston, 8. 0., has
effected a loan of 150,000, which will
enable it to pay the July interest on
its bonded debt, and liquidate the
current Indebtedness.
Yesterday was the day on which
Hon. Jefferson Davis was to deliver
an address to the Louisiana Division
of the Army of Tennessee, and to be
presented with a gold badge and car
tificate of membership. If we get no
telegraphic notice of the address, we
will oondude that be said “nothing
startling or violent.”
The Ninth District.— The Atlanta
Constitution has reports from every
county in this district, and according
to its information the delegates elect
are divided as follows: 801 l 39,
Carlton 27. The conventions of this
district have always adhered to the
two-thirds rule, and under this
rule 40 rotes are required to
nominate. But the friends of Bell
claim two or three more delegates
than are given him in this classifica
tion.
J. J. Skinner, of Atlanta, died on
Sunday from cuts which he received
in a "free fight” at a ball at Silver
Spring near that city on the 4th of
July. Several other persons were
hurt, and it is not known who cut
Skinner. It was at first supposed
that his wounds were not serious,but
be grew worse until the fatal result.
P. B.—A young girl of bad charac
ter, named Sissy Franklin, has been
arrested as the one who stabbed
Skinner. She Is only seventeen years
of age.
L. G. Clark, a young man living
at Lawtonville, on the Central Bail
road, and acting as agent for the
road and the Southern Express Com
pany at that point, in place of bis
brother, Mr. 8. O. Clark, who is the
agent, shot himself through the
heart last Saturday night. It is said
that he had been disappointed in a
love affair, and that his mind was af
fected.
A correspondent of the Panola
(Texas) Watchman gives an account
of the burying of a man In Rusk
county, to try the experiment of
curing him of paralysis in that way.
He was buried up to bis bead, for
four hours, with wet dirt closely
packed around him, but he came out
utterly exhausted and as badly para
lysed as ever. The pressure almost
produced a collapse of the circula
tlon.

We learn that Dowdell Adums,
who killed the mysterious man
named Love, about three months
ago, was tried In Columbus, Ga„ on
Tuesday last and acquitted— Montg.

Quite a mistake. We have heard
of the trial of Adams by only one
tribunal in this city, and that one
pronounoed him guilty. But It Is held
to be an unauthorized court, and a
change of venue will bo taken—prob
ably to Harris county, and to a
court of acknowledged jurisdiction.
Thb Advertiser gives an aocount of
the capsizing of a boat la the Ala
bama river near Montgomery, by
which four worthy citizens came Very
near losing their lives, but managed
to get ashore. The upsetting was
caused by the effort of one of the
gentlemen to recover a jug of milk
which fell overboard. Wo are glad
that they esoaped. Had it been
otherwise we would have had great
doubt whether that Jug contained
milk.
In Wisconsin if a oompany insures
a house not worth more than SIOOO
for S2OOO, and It Is destroyed by lire,
the law compels the payment of the
S2OOO. There is a great outory by
some insurance companies against
this law. It is, says the St. Louis
Journal of Commerce, a very proper
law, and Its strict enforcement will
do a great deal of good. Beokless
agents and careless companies in
sure to get volume of premium and
then try to get away from their un
dertakings.
The Cincinnati Enquirer has this
to say of Indiana affairs: “A score of
prominent Republicans In Indiana
are reaching up for Morton’s chair
like the children of Israel reaching
up for the heavenly manna. But the
difference Is, the Hebrews secured
the falling manna, while not one of
these Republicans can stand on his
tiptoes and touch the bottom rung of
Morton’s chair. A Democrat will
again leap in the seat with the grace
and agility with which Peralto leaps
into his Mexican saddle.”
We notice that Hon. B. M. Baker,
formerly of Bussell county, Ala., (a
son of the late Hon. BenJ. H. Baker)
is a candidate for the Legislature in
Panola county, Texas. The Damo
oratio nomination is to be made on
the 24th of August, and the Panola
Watchman says that Mr. Baker is the
only candidate so far announced tor
the position; and it adds: “In our
judgment, there is not a man in the
county who oould do Panola county
and the State mere good In the 16th
Legislature than the Hon. B. M.
Baker, if as much, and the ripe ex
perience gained by him as a member
of the 15th Legislature will en
able him to do muoh more for his
o*nty and the State in the 16th Leg
islature than he did in the 15th.”
SOtTSKEN INDUSTRIAL PUONPRCTM.
It is not aione the nominal high or
low price of any commodity that de
termines the profit of its production.
The profit is graduated jaeoording
to the relative values 'of the article
and the commodities which its pro
ducer has to consume. For instance,
there can be little profit in cotton at
10 cents per pound. If its producer
has to pay 12 or 15 cents per pound
for the moat, (1 per bushel for tho
corn, and $lO per barrel for the flour
which he and his family and em
ployees cat, and 15 or 20 cents per
yard for the heavy cotton goods and
10 oents per yard for the calicoes
whloh they wear. Past experience
since the war has shown that suoh
prices paid for provisions and cloth
ing run up the cost of produc
tion of cotton at 10 cents per
pound to a balance. But we have
good reason to believe that cotton is
far more likely to maintain Its pres
ent prloe next winter than the other
articles mentioned are likely to ad
vance above their present quota
tions. With cotton at 10 c„ bacon at
70., corn at 70 0., flour at $7, and cot
ton goods at B to 10 oents, the bal
ance will be in favor of the planter,
even without taking ‘into considera
tion the larger amount of grain and
meat raised on thecottonplantatlons
this year. That this is the hopeful
prospect now before us, a few faots
and figures will clearily show.
There is every indication that the
growing cotton crop will be a large
one, but it can hardly exceed
last year’s crop to the amount of the
deficit in the stock of old cotton now
on hand as compared with the
average stock at this time of the
year. According to last week’s re
port, the visible supply of this year
is now 582,030 bales short of that of
1877 ; 645.389 bales short of that of
1870. and 779,902 bales short of that of
1876. Here we have a deficiency of
669,000 bales as compared with the
average stock of the first week of
July for the last three years, and this
stock must be still further reduced
weekly until the new crop begins to
go forward freely, unless the mills
suspend to an extent not now antic
ipated. The lnoreased crop of 1878
can hardly make up this deficiency
and still exceed the average produc
tion of tho last three years.
On the other hand, there is a very
slim prospect of a material advance
in the prices of the articles of food
and raiment above mentioned,unless
the latter is advanced by a corre
sponding advanoe in the price of raw
cotton. Tho wheat crop already har
vested and being harvested is unpar
alleled in quantity, being proportion
ately larger than the increase in the
population of the country and the
present Increased demand from for--'
eign countries; and the same may be
said of the oats crop. The hog pro
duct has not for many years been so
large or so low in price, 'f here has
lately been a slight advanoe, but this
is probably due more to the gambling
operations of speculators than to le
gitimate demand for consumption,
and even at the advance the price is
uncommonly low, There is evidently
little chance for a material ad
vance in elthor meats or bread
stuffs for many months to come, and
the assurance of peace in Europe,
with the heavy crops now secured or
promised, ore far more likely to run
down prices still lower. As to cot
ton fabrics, low as present prices op
pear to be, they aro os high as they
fairly ought to be with cotton at 10
cents per pound and the present
rates of labor. When we take into
consideration the faot that one pound
of cotton turns out from 3 to 6 yards
of the goods, generally worn and
selling now from 5 to 10 oeuts per
yard, wo see that the manufacturer’s
profits must boas large as the plant
er’s. The manufacturer has only to
fear a dull market for his goods, not
that the price is not remunerative.
We see, then, that the cotton plan
ter has a much better assuranoe of
the maintenance of the price of his
product than the grain and pork
raisers and tho cotton manufacturers
have of any considerable advance in
theirs; and we think it a reasonable
proposition that a maintenance of
present relative prices establishes a
condition of things morn favorable
to the cotton planter than that of
any year since the war. We firmly
believe that our section is again en
tering upon an era of prosperity
greater than that of any other sec
tion, and can make it of long contin
uance simply by not “killing the
goose that lays the golden eggs.”
A tramp, who was lying asleep at
Mr. Richardson’s turpentine still,
near Hardeeville, on Friday night
last, was shot and killed by the ne
gro watchman, named Holmes. The
tramp was a white youth, about
twenty years of age, and his name is
unknown. The watchman hailed
him two or three times, and receiv
ing no answer, shot him.
The Augusta Chronicle ot the 9th
instant says that tho three tax fifas.
issued by the State against the Geor
gia Railroad and Ranking Company
amounted to two hundred and forty
thousand dollars. The Superior
Court has rendered a decision sus
taining the affidavit of illegality filed
by the company, exoept os to tbe
amount of $291, which it decides is
due the State. The State will carry
the cose to the Supreme Court.
Washington Territory is anxious
to become a State, and a Constitution
is being prepared by a Convention
now in session. A question of con
siderable interest on the Paciflo coast
bas been raised by the introduction
and advocacy of a clause limiting
the amount of land which any person
may hold. Tbe Constitution, what
ever it may contain, is not likely
soon to become operative, for the
Territory still lacks the number of
inhabitants requisite for representa
tion.
OUR EXPORTS.
Taking the export trade of the
country os a whole, it bar veiled ices
since the panic year than might per
haps be expected from the extraordi
nary ohangee in values and in the
condition of our industries. For the
calendar year 1873, the gold value of
tho exports of merchandise was $550,-
100,000, while, for the last calendar
year, their valuo was $607,500,000,
showing an increase of $50,000,000
during the four years, which is no
more than a normal ratio of growth.
It might have been expected, from
the depressed condition of our man
uftteture*, that we should largely in
crease our exports of inanufuotured
articles; but, as a rule, this ean
hardly be said to have been the ease.
The shipments of cotton goods have
been Increased in a very extraordi
nary degree, the exports last year
being 123.600,000 yards against only
1A,100,000 yards in 1873; but this
baa been made possible by un ex
treme reduction in the wages of
operatives, beyond what bus been ef
fected in other countries, and is in
no small measure due to efforts to
relievo tbo over-burtbened home
market, and cannot be regarded as
having been a wholly legitimate or
prosperous business. Moreover,
while the quantity of these exports
is nine fold what it was in 1873, tbe
value of the goods is only about
double what it was in that year. Xu
iron the percentage of Increase is
large, but th total value of the ex
ports is not large. In agricultural
Implements nnd railroad cars, an im
portant failing off is apparent.
Owing to the war in Turkey, the
items of fire arms and fixed ammu
nition combined show an increase
from $2,248,000 to $9,024,000. Leath
er, cordage, manures and cotton seed
oil also exhibit a large ratio or gain ;
but, with these exceptions, the items
are either about stationary or show a
decrease.
Outside of manufactured articles,
tbe most remarkable variation ap
pears in petroleum, the exports of
refined having risen from 207,600.000
gallons In 1873 to 307,300,000 in 1877,
while In crude also there has been a
like ratio of increase. In breadstuffs,
there has been on the whole an im
portant gain, although the ship
ments of wheat ami flour were less
last year than in 1873. Hog products
show little variation; but in beef,
fresh and cured combined, there has
been an increase from 34,400,000
pounds to 92,300,000 pounds. In leaf
tobacco, an important reduction is
apparent, though nothing more than
may be accounted for from the varia
tions of the seasons. Hops, chiefly
from seasons’ causes, rose from 1,320
pounds to 15,300,pounds. In the ex
ports of cotton there Is an increase of
90,000,000 pounds; but the value of
the orop was much loss than in 1873.
Coal, notwithstanding tho verv low
prices at which it was selling last
year, was exported to no greater ex
tent than in 1873.— New York Bulletin,
ALtItJIA HEW*.
From the Tmkoegee Mail, 10th.
The amount of property assess
ments for this county to date, as
shown by the tax-assessor’s books, is
as follows:
Real estate $779,531.05
Personal property 287,617.21
We gather from intelligent farm
ers that the ootton crop on uplands
is more promising than it was at this
date last season; that on low wet
lands not so good. The heavy rains
in the early part of June retarded
the crops on lands of this character
and caused it to be involved in grass.
There is vet time, however, for
this part of'tho crop to recuperate
and if it is well cultivated and favor
abio weather shall prevail a full
yield may be realized. Tbe oorn
crop in the country will be an aver
ago one. Crops in the prairies of
every kind aro reported to be unu
sually promising. Peas, potatoes
and other small crops are looking
well.

We have a private letter from our

In th city of Sumboul, the Dove’i
Mosque, or the Mosque of Bijazet 11., b( s
special cberm. The court, entered by gates
elaborately decorated in arabesque, is ex
ceedingly beautiful. In the centre ia a
marble fountain under a canopy and shel
tered by a clutter of line trees. At yoa
enter the court you hear the rosr of wings,
and for a moment the air is darkened with
the sudden flight of myriads of tiuvea.
These birds,tbe offspring of a pair purchas
ed from a poor woman by Sultan Bajaset
and presented to the mosque, are as sacred
as was the ibis of old. A grave and rever
end fellow with a huge turban aits under
the cloister and sella grain to the faithful
and the fickle, The former feed the doves
for charity; the later for fun While the
lountain is knee-deep with swarming birds,
and the trees clogged with them, and all
the caves of the cloister lined, and even the
high galleries of the slender minarets not
unvisited by these feathered dervishes, you
throw a handful oi wheat into the court,
and like a thunder cloud tho whole tribe
swoops down upon you with the rush and
roar of a storm. J hey crowd one another
and heap themaeluea together and stand on
their heada in their eagerneaa to get a mor
ael of grain. In a moment someone enters
tbe court, and the birds take flight, stirring
tbe wind ill the cloister and tilling the air
with soft, floating down. A lurbaned
greybeard near by sella rosaries and per
fumes, and there ia also the fellow at tbe
gate who cries ‘ Sherbet,” ahrl clashes bit
brazen cups tilt they ring like, cymbals,
and there are loungers from dawn to dark
who drop in to see the doves of Bajazet
plunge into the court like art avalance ol
dusky, impuipleil snow, and wheel out of
it again a winged cloud of smoke. At
mosque on Fridays there is a disthbut: i
of bread to dogs, and the hungry fellows
come from all parts of the city to get
their portion.
Vulcanic Phenomena.
Thp captain of a Gorman steamer, just
arrived at Hong Kong, reports a singular
condition of things in the Island of New
Britain, in the South seas. He found the
wtoolcof the northeast coast enveloped in
dense smoke, and he experienced great
difficulty in proceeding up the channel
between it and New Ireland, as fields of
pumice stone,l several feet in thickness,
covered the surface of the water. On Feb
ruary 9th he reached Makada, Duke of
Yorkgroup, and found that three craters
had broken out in Ihe new Britain Penin
sula, from which dense masses of pumice
atone were continually being thrown up.
The passage between Duke of York Island
and Blanche Bay had been completely
closed by a compact field of pumice stoue,
about five feet in thickness, according to
the statement of the cap)ain to a Hong
Kong paper.
A tidal wave swept over Blanche Bay
on February 10th, and soon afterward a
new islapd appeared about three quarters
of a mile in diameter. This island is now
situated to the south of Henderson Island,
and where it now is no bottom was pre
viously obtained at seventeen fathoms. It
is probable that other alterations have oc
curred, which could not be observed at
the time, owing to the masses of floating
pumice stone.
The captain of the vessel mentioned
further says that the water in Blanche
Bay was scalding hot tor two days, and
that immense quantities of boiled fish and
turtle were thrown >n shore and eagerly
devoured by the natives, who were starv
ing m consequence of the unusual dryness
of the season.

For some medicinal alcoholic resuscitant of
physical energy which should take the place of
the heady aud frequently adulterated stimulants
of commerce, tbe medical practitioners of a
quarter of a century ago were electrified on
first observing the reviving effects upon the sys

which has since become the most popular medi
cine sold on thia continent, viz: Hostetter'a
Stomach Bitters. Their astonishment and admi
ration were increased when experience farther
disclosed that this botanic remedy effected re
sults which the mineral drugs of the pharmaco
peia often utterly failed to produce—among
others, tho permanent restoration of vigor, the
removal of digestive, secretly* aud evacuative Ir
regularities. and the eradication and prevention
of periodic fevers. Speedy recognition of the
merits of the Bitters by unprejudiced and en
lightened physicians naturally followed thts rev

NOTICE!
I have accepted the Agency foi GAFF & CO.’S
CIU BREWERY
AURORA, INDIANA,
And have just completed a large refrigerating Ice-House in my cellar
capable of holding car a load of Beer, which will keep the Beer ice-cold all the
time. It will be shipped here in Gaff & Co.’s fine refrigating cars, and will
be as good when it arrives as when first made. I will handle both kegs and
bottled Beer. This Beer is made especially for the Southern trade, and is
pronouaoed by all who try it to be the best in the country. Messrs. Gaff &
Cos are men of ample means.and.have used every facility they have to make
the AURORA BEER second to none in the United States. Below I annex
statements from reliable merchants of several Southern cities who are hand
ling these goods:
I have been handling the Aurora Beer for four year*, and consider it second to none in Amer-
J. J. HENSOR, Nashville, Tens.
I have .old thirty thomand kf gs of Gaff * Co.’s Aurora Beer in three years, and it has given per.
feot satisfaction. J ■ F - OOLL Vicksburg, Miss.
Messrs. Gaff k Co.’s Aurora Beer is the finest snd best quality I ever met with in this market. I
have used boer from almost every brewery of any note in the United States, and have no hesitancy
in saying the Aurora Beer gives the best satisfaction of any. ALpH WALTZ, New Orieans.
We have handled the Aurora Beer sinco 1831. and now we can use no other beer in this market
We have had shipments from Milwaukee, St. Louis and Cincinnati since, but no go. They ail pre
fer Aurora Beer, as it seems to stand shipping better than any other, and Gaff A- Co.'a refrigerator
cars have been a success in keeping the iwer as good when arriving as when it leit the brewery. We
have about 400 Germans, all of whom pronounce the Aurora to be the best beer ever in tbe market.
J. M- VETTER k CO., Chattanooga. Tenn.
Till the wagon, to be furnished by Messrs. Gaff & Cos., which is being put
up by Messrs. Herring & England, of this city, is completed my Ice Wagon
will deliver the Beer at the Depot or elsewhere in the City.
For the accommodation of families I have ordered a few small kegs (4
gallons), which will be tapped and delivered without extra charge.
I will guarantee every keg of the Aurora Beer to give satisfaction, and
will always keep a full stock in my Ice House. All orders promptly attend
ed to.
TOBY NEWMAN,
_ Agent,
58 and 60 Broad Street, COLUMBUS, GA.
I have largely increased the capacity of my Ice House this season and
shall keep it well stocked with the purest and best Lake Ice, which will be
delivered in any quantity anywhere in the city. Orders from abroad will
recive promt attention. TOBY NEWMAN,
