_ SUBSCRIPTION YEAH
The question is almost daily put to us,
when will the first year of your subscription
expire ? sometimes for the purpose of com
mencing with tho second year, sometimes to
pay another year in advance, and sometimes
to discontinue —of tho latter wo are pleased
to say there are but few. Well, we publish
ed the first number of this paper on tho 15th
of September last, and consequently the
year will bo up the same time this year.—
But if our patrons arc anxious, they can
scnct the money for another year at any
time. Wc will be much obliged if it comes
earlier, and it will be duly croditod. So al
go, a subscription may bo commenced at any
time, and it will be charged at the usual rate
per annum, commencing from the time it is
ordered. .
Wo ftro thankful for the encouragement
f tho Wire-Gras* Reporter has already re
ceived. But our friends coaid help us much
mote. If every one would select only one
of his neighbors (nnd many might influence
five or ten) to whom to recommend the pa
per and get him to subscribe, it will bo seen
thal our subscription would soon be doubled.
Will not our numerous friends interest them
selves for us and do ns this'kcrvico? The
business of an editor lies essentially in bis
office, and bo must iticasurnbly depend upon
his friends to assist him from home. How
little tho trouble to them—how large tho
benefit to us.
We roquest oar Agents with whom wc
have left accounts for collection, to make an

“SHORT CHOPS.”
Wc do not suppose there ever was a sea
son, however abundant, when this cry was
not heard to some oxtent. The present is one
which ought to closo the mouth of the most
inveterate croaker, for all vegotablo growth
holds out a promiso of tho largest produc
tion. Yot ever and anon, even now, wo hear
a subdued cry of “short crop’*—either that
tho yield will not.be good, howewer promis
ing in wood, or tho ruf libs or will fix its fa
tal fangs upon the fields, or a drought is at
hand, or the grasshopper or boll worm or cat
torpiller is just here, or sonic other catasto
j&he is ready to befall the crop. ‘lt wopld be
much pleasanter to sco onr agricultural
friends content and happy with the fine pros
pects before them of fat horses, fat cattle nnd
fat hogs from thoircorn, and fat purses from
their cotton. They will no doubt have evils
enough of somo character or other to annoy
and perplex them—evils material and tangi
ble—without troubling themselves with im
aginary ones which renlly do not exist. In
corroboration of tho promise of unusual
abundance, the Macon Teh graph of last
week states, that •* in conversation wjth a
gentleman who has very recently traveled
over nearly tho whole cotton growing section
of the United States, lie expressed tho opin
ion, that if preseut prospects are verified, the
crop will be beyond precedent in quantity.
The idea of a deficit of 400,000 bales in the
Souih West, resulting from high waters, ho
considered altogether delusive, and- main
tained that he had been in no county ol thut
section where present anticipations did hot
fix tho quantity of cotton grown above what
could ho gathered. The corn crop evory
where was more than abundant.” A late
copy of the IJfcw Orleans Delta contains tho
following paragraph •,
There is n good business going on for
the season of the year. Cotton and sugar
are taketi freely at about the highest prices
of tbo season. Tho accounts of the growing
or present crops arc decidedly encouraging,
and tho actual returns of next scasou’s busi
ness will ex coed any former year, unless
some very remarkable intervention of na
ture should take place. With an averngo
run of good water, there is no doubt 320,00 Q
to 550,000 hogsheads of sugar will be pro
duced this year.”
Tim Cftors. —Throughout this entire sec
tion of our country, we believe the prospect
i for an unusually largo idrbp of corn, was nev
er moro flattering. Indeed wo sometimes
hear fw mors say they never saw so good a
prospoctas that now exhibited. Our owu
observation tends to coufngi tbc evidence
which reaches us from cfery quarter,
Tho failure —almost the oats
crop, is in a groat mcasuie compensated for,
by ttm unusually huge and luxuriant yield of
all kinds’ of grasses. Farmers who have

BRITISH INDIA.
Acccounts from India are any thing but
encouraging to the Brifish arms, bir Colin
Campbell was appointed to tbe chief com
mand, and hurried on overland, under the;
expectation thntas sooffas he arrived in India
every thing would be straightened out, the
supremacy of British vnlu re-established, and ;
affairs reorganised in statu quo anti bellum.
Bnt they have turned out differently. Sir
Colin is barely able to bold bis own and
keep bis ground. If ho defeats a body of
tho natives occasionally,jbey will, not stay
whipped. They at oned rally to another
quarter. In tho mean time disenso is thin
ning hiarauks, ami his armies arc melting
away before tlie inhospitable climate. It ap
pears to us that British India is already lost
to tho British empire. This war, like thift
with her American colonies, may be protract
ed for a series of years, but like that it will
bnt draw out thc energies nnd resources of
thc natives, nnd at thc end, as with Ameri
ca, they will present the appearance of a
young giant refreshed, and be found to be
stronger and more able to continue the war
than when it was commenced. In thc mean
time soldiers and supplies are forwarded at
an enormous expenso, and are consummed
like tho morning dew before tho rising
sun—silently and rapidly they pass away.
Wo do not prMSnd to compare the mor
al and intellectual status of tho Hindoos
of the present day with that of our Revolu
tionary fathers, but-thc quarrel with tho
mother country is not tbe same. We con
tended for a principle, foreqnality, for equal
and exact rights with our fellow subjects
living on tbe British islands; the Hindoos of
India are contending for their lost govern
ment, their natural liberty, their desecrated
altars and the peace of their firesides.
CHEROKEE BAPTIST COLLEGE.
The Cassviilo Standard suggests thc crea
tion of a Military Professorship in the Bap
tist College in that place. The editor thinks
an-hour’s drill every day would inspire tho
students witli “ new impulses in their regular
course.” Perhaps so j but our military Pro
fessorships are-already sufficiently numerous
in the country, without intruding them upon
tho church nnd into sectarian Colleges.—
Would not a Professorship of Agricultural
Chemistry do as well, and would not an
hour's exercise in the field of agricultural la
bor be quite as beneficial to inspire “ new im
pulses” as a military drill 1 This study bas
been quito too much rijfrglocted in our places
of learning. The State of Georgia is emi
nently an agricultural country, and every
young man who dovotes himself to planting,
should, if possible, understand it sufficiently
as connected with chemistry. Military!—

TWENTY-FIVE THOUSAND KOBE.
The Federal Union of the 3d inst., an
nounces that tfie State Treasurer lias receiv
ed from the Western and Atlantic Railroad,
the farther sum of twenty-five thousand dol
lars, surplus profits for the month of July.—
This amount makes the aggregate sum of
$117,000 paid into the State Treasusy since
the first of March last, but must be consid
ered the profits of the first seven months of
the year, as no monies were paid into the
Treasury from tins source before, during
Gov. Brown’s administration. This-ratio
will give us two hundred thousand dollars
for the year, a snug little sum, although not
as good as expected by one hundred thou
sand dollars. But it is said, to make up this
deficiency, that tho Treasurer of the Road has
paid off one hundred thousand dollars worth
of old debts. If the Road has not created
as many now ones, (of which wc have no
knowledge) the profits will still realize the ;
full sum of throe hundred thousand dollars
during the first year of Gov. Brown’s ad

ministration.

fully exoepted the invitation. When dinner
was announced and all seated, our friend sta
| ted that the best foe had to offer were a num
ber of young wild turkeys, which were shot
‘theday before, and whlchhe bad purchased.
Our first feeling was that of repognanco to
the birds, arising from extreme wrath agaittt
their hard-hearted mercenary slayer. Who
can conceive of a worse man than be, who
in this country would deliberately shoot
; young turkeys in summer for money 1 Such
a man svould glory iu a turkey-peri, would
’ not blush to be be caught in open day With
a partridge net, and would poison a stream
to got a single mess of fish. These are our
sentiments, and as before remarked, tbe feel
| ing consequent upon them came near spoil
ing our dinner, But we reflected that tbe
birds were dead, that somebody else might
have bought them and we never have seen
them, and besides tbe nice guava jelly, and
some bottles of chain but it is useless
to pursue tbo question further. Wo “ pitch
ed in” and made an excellent dinner. But
all this is foreign to what we intended to

After dinner we walked out. and were met by

THE MORMONS.
It is said the Mormons have returned to
Salt Lake City, and retaken possession of
their dwellings. Brigham Young is anxious
to come to*’trial, either ppon a charge of
treason or lesser crime. But lie sets up the
constitution ol the United States as being
very good law now, and claims to be tried
by his peers. Brigham would not be in much
danger in the hands of a jury of Mormons.
But he knows he will not be tried by any
one. Governor Cumming has published a
Proclamation to the people of Utah, stating
that all persons who submit themselves to the
laws, and to the Federal Government, aro
fully pardoned for all treason and seditiob
heretofore committed. The Governor ex
ports all persons to persevere in a faithful sub
mission to tlie laws, and patriotic devotion
to the Constitution and Government of our
common country. All civil officer^ —Feder-
al and Territorial—are directed to resume
the performance of the duties of tlioir re
spective offices without delay, and bo diligent
and faithful in.the execution of the law.—
Persons who have left their homes are invited

Terrible Death ot a CbiM by Hydrophobia—Bitten
by a Cat.
The Peoria (111.) Transcript gives an ac- !
count of the death, by hydrophobia, of a :
very interesting child, the daughter of Mr. j
Henry 8. Wooder, of Mount llawlcy, six;
miles from that city, between eight ami nine ;
years of age, on Friday morning last. The j
following are the particulars :
On Tncsdny of last week, Sarah Ellen re
turned from school, and complained of feeling
unwell, so much so, that she did not attend |.
on the following day, although still ablo to be
about the house. Thursday she was no better,
and her parents.thinking she was threatened j
with the typhoid fever, sent for Dr. Murphy,
of this city. • The Doctor arrived there about
2 o’clock in the afternoon, aud found, her sit-1
ting upon the sofa at tho side.of her mother,.
to all appearances in perfect health; her pu'se,
however, was very irregular, with an oeca
sionnbwildncss in the eyes, and it was not
long before she gave a sndden start, and
placing her hand upon her throat, exclaimed,
“It troubles me to breathe, mother.” Min
ute inquiries were now instituted, wheu the
fact was elicited, which had not previously
been thought of, that somo fivo weeks since
sire had been bitten by a domesticated cat,
on the outside of her foot. A glass of wa
ter was ordered to he brought her, when the
sight of it at once threw her into terrible
convulsions. This was at 2 o’clock iu tho
afternoon, and was the first intimation liad
bv her distressed parents, of the terrible dis- ;
case with which their daughter was afflicted, j
Her agony and struggles iu the spasms were
awful to behold, and in one of them she bit
her mother severely in the shoulder, and at j
another time scratched tho father badly in
the hand. In her spasmodic efforts, tlio
baliva from her mouth was at timos ejected
across the room, and tbe only relief experi- J
cnced was by the use of chloroform, which in
the end, seemed to lose all efficacy. She re
mained all the time in perfect possession of
her faculties, and at 3 o’clock on Friday
morning, exactly twelve hours from tho at- j
tack of the first'spasm, her spirit departed to !
the God who gave it.
And now conies the most remarkable inci
dent connected with this heartrending affair.
Some four hours previous to her death, and
soon after one of her most violent spasms, she
told her mother that she had been visited by
tho spirit of her sister, (the family arc believ
ers in Spiritualism,) who left this earth for
the better land, about one year since, and
that this sister hud informed her of
remedies, which, if applied, rfould relieve
her suffering and smooth her passage to the
tomb. The remedies were applied as soon
ns possible, and, strange to relate, the desired
effect was produced. She .was freed from
her convulsive fits, was enabled, to breatho
easier, converse freely with her parents and
friends, occasionally drinking a littlo water, [
and finally falling into her last sleep as gen
tly as an infant reposing in her slumber.

THE OCEAN CABLE.
It gives us much pleasure to bo able to
announce that tho uohle enterprise of laying ■
a telegraphic cable on the bottom of the ocean, |
to connect Ireland and the European conti-1
nent with America, has been completely suc
cessful. The -Niagara arrived in Trinity
Bay, Newfoundland, on Wednesday last.—
The following is the dispatch announcing tho
great acbievinent.
Dispatch from Cyrus W. Field to the Tress of tho
’ United Statos.
Trinity Bay, August s.—The Telegraph
Fleet sailed from Queenstown on the 17th
July, aud met at mid ocean and made splice
on the 29th at one o'clock in the afternoon,
and thou seperated. The Agamemnon amj.
tho Valorous hound for Valencia, the Niaga
ra and Gorgon for this place where they ar
rived yesterday. The cable will bo landed
to-day. The cable laid is IG9B nautical
miles, or 19f>0 statute miles long from tho
Telegraph House, Bull’s Bay, to head Valen
cia harbor, aud for more than tqjo thirds of
that distance in water over two miles dcop.
Tlio cable paid ont from the Agnmemifon
was at about the same speed as from tho Ni
agara, and the electric signals sent and ro-.
ceivod through the whole cable are perfect.
Tho machinery .worked most satisfactorily
and was not stopped for a single moment.—
Capt. Hudson, Messrs. Everett and Wood
house, engineers,, electricians, officers of- the
ships, and every man on hoard the Cablo
Fleet exerted themselves to their utmost to
make the expedition successful, and by tho
blessing of Divine Providence they succeed
ed.
After tho cable is landed and connected
with the land line, the Niagara will discharge)
the cargo belonging to the Telegraph Gom
! party and will go to St. Johns for coal and
then proceed to New York.

Do. ui.AS AND TUB, X}E.in.euAcy.—Wo
intended a short commcut on tho late speech
article? oh tho same sufject, which exactly
suits out views, we transfer it to our columns,
; as expressing fully our feelings
incuts towards the Senator from Illinois.
I We wjll simply add, that as Judge,Douglas
hasmadoar. issue wish tlio Administration,
j distinctly and defiantly, on the settlement of
tlie Kansas question, we hope no Democrat
jic paper in Georgiaean be found to render
him “ aid aud comfort” iu his crusade against
j tho South and the South’s friends in the Free
j States. Judge Douglas has no apology to
! offerfor his late course —Southern Democrats
will give him, in future, as tliey have ever J}\-
on their Northern enemies, way to tlie knife,
i and that to the bitter end.
But wc like tlio sentiments of the editor
j oftfhe Times Sf Sentinel, lie takes Douglas
and Crittenden up together, aud declares that
, neither of them arc worthy of public confi
dence. That both gentlemen have been rec
reant to those principles which guide our'po
litical course. Douglas is a Deufbcrat; Crit
tenden an American. The former is tlie rep
i resentativc of a free State; the latter of a
slave State. Douglas vetgd against tliu sLe
coinpton Constitution; ’Crittenden did tho
same. Douglnsdcnounccs'thc Black Rfepub-"’
licans; Crittenden courts their favor; the one
is a bitter cneiny of jJiC Abolitionists; the
other is welcomed by them as a friend and
ally’. The Administration repudiates Mr.
Douglas; the American party glorify Mr.
Crittenden. The Democrats call Douglas a
renegade; tlio Americans pronounce Critten
den “ incorruptible;” .This being a correct
picture, which is the greater traitor—tho
Southern Crittenden, or the Northern Doug
las ?Which party is actMt&d by the purest
motives, tbo Democratic or American party?
Now, ticigbbpr, cannot you exercise a lit
t’c liberality, and do as much for Crittenden
|ns w'c are doing for Douglas? Do try.—
That's a good soul. r
F. S. After tho above was written wo
received the last number of tbo Enterfaisc,
in which the editor admits that tlm Democ
racy are “ cutting loose from Douglas.” But |
the expression is too delicate. He should
have said, “ are dropping him like'a hot po
tato/’ And now, if the Americans will
i scorn Mr. Crittenden similarly, and “ carry
him out with the tongs,” wc shall bo satisfied
with their patriotism.
GRAND RECEPTION.
Some of our readers may have noticed tbo
ado and parade rnndq over Mr. Crittenden
at Cincinnatti, Louisville and Covington, on
his return from Congress, These scenes
were gotten up by his friends for effect, to
produce the impression that he was the great
man of the times, and the proper ono to oc
cupy the white bouse at Washington after
Mr. Buchanan. Many'of tis remember tlio
fulsome speeches and parade „then made. —
The Louisville Courier thus humorously
hits off a burlesque reception of Humphrey
Marshall, a man, by the way, with all his
eccentricities and oddities, a full match for
Mr. Crittenden in natural ability of intellect
and eloquence r
“The-ceremonies upon the wharf, when
Humphrey Marshall put foot on shore, were
very- imposing. In behalf of those upon
whom tlier,nuouncement in the Journal had
made a deep impression, Robert F. Baird
made a glorioris speech. He took his stand
upon the wharf, and as the huge form of
| Humphrey darkened his vision, he lifted up
his voice and spoke as follows: .
MR. BAIRII’S SPERCII.
“ How are yon, Colonel 7”
To this most touching and eloquent recep
tion, Humphrey made the following appropri
ate and fitting reply : jMFa&v
MR. MARSHALL’S REPLY.
“ llow do you do, Bob?” .
These beautiful speeches were taken down
as delivered by onr special phonographic
reporter, and tliey may be implicitly relied
\ upon. So soon as Mr. Marshall finished his
reply, he got into a carriage and drove to
the Louisville hotel, leaving Mr. Baird to
take care of himself. We sent down to
the hotel soon afterwards to learn what was
going on, and Mr. Marshall was reported iu
bed and asleep. \
