Tho Southern Recorder of Tuesday has information from a gentleman just return ed from a trip through Southwestern Georgia, that in his extensive trove! through it, he did not mtot with the frst pointer who expected to make his ends meet in his planting operations this year. All were despondent at the low price ootton commanded. No calculations were eiade for future operations, and it was thought the blacks would suffer for the want of em ployment another year. The Nashville Gazette says: “Men conversant with matters in agriculture, a, sure us that from ten to fifteen fold the n al amount of wheat will be sown this fall Our planter:; have become heartily sick '•(' cott :i. Thousands on thousands of acres devoted last year to the delusive staple will bo rown in wheat. The call for k od-wheat is most extraordinary. From two to three thousand bushels could be sold here daily if obtainable. The mills have ceased making flour, because it is more profitable to sell the wheat for plast ing.” The Meteoric Shower.—As we gene rally retire early (ail newspaper men do) we did not see the grand meteoric display Wednesday night, but the Charleston News man saw the show, ano we appro priate his thunder, which is saadwitched in the News as a postscript: "T!i< Meteoric Display in the Heavens predicted by tho astronomers came off duly, according to programme, at leu minutes after two o’clock this morning. Owing to tho inconvenient hour fixed upon for the celestial performance, few spectators were on tl) quivivc; bat our sloe pies* astronomi cal reporter was vigilantly oa the watch, and from hit; lolly perch oa the topmost story of the News office, took a note of the wild and singular c- elusion which reigned among the starry inhabitants of the realms of space. Tho phenomenon was truly grand, reminding one of the graphic de scription in the Apocalypse: “Th# stars ol Heaven fell unto the earth, even as a li tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken ol'a mighty wind.” Dictator J'opo has delivered him«elf of another • ontemptible, petty and malignant proscriptive order.

By command of Brevet Major General Pope. G. K. Sanderson, Captain 33d IJ. S. Infantry, Acting Assistant Adj’t Gee. ilr. Clarke is ono of the Proprietors of tli ’ Advertiser <f‘ Register, one of the a''lest papers in the South, over which Colonel John Forsyth presides editorially. The day is not far dritaat when this same notorious John Pope will receive bis just deserts from the Americas people lor the many and grievous wrongs which ho has potpetrated ou the suffering peo ple of the South. Meeting ok the Agricultural Club if Satiiiday, Novembers, I(l67.—The t munittoo appointed to examine the pro ducts exhibited iu said meeting, report* lollows: M. John Burch presented a lot of uu- ooinnitmly largo sweet potatoes, of thrws varieties, Mrs. James Burch, a vary fine lamp of ; butter of bi si tpiality. General Harris, (lifi'ereat varieties of | well yrown, large turnips ; >mouf sthick :lu> tr':ite glvlc whs rvtuarkable for else anil appoantnca—the Pi'.land, as far as oouiit be asei i''.:ihhl, for quality. Alan the lone; French white aud different kiml of ltutabagas. Mr. George Oates exhibited some large Brahma fowls, which ho said were good layers and of more quiet and dementi* j tint-Us than the common breed* of fowls. The undersigned members of the Com- j mittee afterward went to the place of Mr. ! Jos. Bdrcb, for information on the spot, in regard to the soil, locality and mode of cultivation. ". he soil is sandy, but liotofthe poorest silioious kind—rather dark and of a moldy character—eminently suited for the 'tilth- •> f th.» o tubers. The field is on a s!oj ' front the adjoining hills to ward the east. Die water in a wo, l close by shows tlmi there is a great deal of nitra tion all through the field, and we noticed these circumstances in order to account for the peculiar manner of >jr. li.'s culture, in which he ha* been constantly successful, but especially »o in the last protracted wot Mason. He runs a deep furrow from 12 to Id inches deoiv in tli'' '* :tom he drops piuo straw ; then, by plowing, he covers the mass of straw with live or six inches of soil, eo the top of which he plants his tubers. The pine straw is, iu most csv buried in that way, some months or at least some weeks previous to planting! so that it un dergoes » certain degree of decomposition before the ground is p! am ted; afterwaid he covers well, mak ughigh ridges. It seems that the pine leaves tor any other rub s cr straw) acts as a drain to remove the superfluous rain, and ftlterered water from the tuber, and keeps the ridge per meable to the various influences of air, calorie aud moisture. Whatever may be the immediate or re mote causes, it is . vident that the process works well, chiefly in the hands of such a skillful and experienced farmer as Mr. Burch. Mr. O. 11. Prince, of Richmond Baths, j out to the Club a sample of what he calls t':o Mr.. >'i pea, which has been known in the >\rth for the last fifteen or twenty vtars ss the Oregon pea, and goes under that m "ie in trade. They are very pro ductive, but a: only known to he good '■ftir cattle. They are not much cultivated in lb .Northern? States, although we be lieve them valuable as food for animals boiled or ground.

The Southern Recorder learns the death, at Nova-Scotia, Texas, recently,of General Thomas Biackshear, formerly a resident of Thomas county, and at one time, a Sena t r from that county.

The Intelligencer of Thursday says that it has not yet transpired whether or not the Convention will be held in that city, but from the fact that preparations are said to be making to entertain the odori ferous" part thereof, the presumption is that intimations have fallen from his HighnoK that Atlanta will be the place. At a meeting of the Vestrymen of the German Lutheran Church, held on Thurs day, the following resolution* were unani mously adopted : Resolved. That our sincere thanks are due and are hereby tendered to the Augusta Quartette and Amateur Clubs, and to Dr. Couturier for their services in giving the entertainment for the benefit of car Church ; also to Mr. P. Brenner for the use of the piano, and to the Constitution alist, Chronicle <& Sentinel and Republican for printing. Resolved, That a copy of these resolu tions be sent to the Quartette and Amateur Clubs, to Dr. Couturier. Mr. P. Brenner, and be published in the city papers. Id. Schneider, Secretary. Augusta, Ga., November 14,1867. University of Georgia.—We learn from the Macon Journal k Messenger that the Board of Trustees of this institution held a short session iu that city on the 15th instant. The report of the Chancellor shows the condition of the University to be very prosperous—much more so than could have been reasonably anticipated under the peculiar circumstances of the case. The restoration of the annual en dowment of $8,900 due from the State is confidently looked for, and the friends of “Old Franklin” are encouraged to expect for it a future of still greater usefulness and prosperity. Ono hundred and ninety-three students are in actual attendance in the College proper, and about one hundred in the school for maimed and indigent soldiers — nearly three hnndred in ail! Effects of Light on Paintings.—Dr. Price, in speaking 0? the action of light upo* sulphate of lead, takes occasion to remark that light is advantageous to the preservation of pictures. Os this fact he gave a striking proof in an experiment made hy bitnseif. Ho had a picture paint ed, aad tbon exposed it to the action of sulphuretted until it became sadly discolored and to al! appearances de stroyed. Some strips of paper were laid across the picture, s# as to cover some parts. The picture thus partially covered was cupoeed to light for a long time. The result was indeed ourions. The parts of tie pietnre exposed to light were perfectly restored, while the parts covered by the paper remained still discolored. Personal.—Gov. Jenkins, Hon. B. H. Hill and other distinguished gentlemen have been in Macon several days attending a meeting of the,Board of Trustees of the State University. Tni? Scalawag Convention.—'We un derstand that the Scalawag Convention is to meet at Miiledgeville, and not at Atlanta, as heretofore stated. During the session of the piebald, John Pope will have his headquarter* in the saddle at Miiledgeville, r.o doubt. • Richmond Superior Court. —In this Court, Thursday, Judge Gibson presiding, the following business was transacted: A bill of exceptions wa* ordered to be on teredoa the minutes; demurrer overruled; a motion for anew trial ordered to be adju dicated in vacation; the time of an arbitra-i •tion case extended to January next, and a case which had been previously dismissed for cause ordered to be reinstated on the Docket and entered "settled.” Atlantic and Gult Railroad.—We leant from the Bainbridge Argus, that the laying dowu of the iron on the extension of the Atlantic and Gulf Road, to its present Western terminus, will b 9 finished to Depot No. 21, by Monday next. This depot, which is known as Harrell, is seven teen miles from Bainbridge, and eighteen from Thomasviile, The remainder of the track is being rapidly prepared for the iron. Thu* it will be seen that this important enterprise is ter advanced in its construc tion, and warrants the assumption that it will be oomplete to Bainbridgo by the Ist of January if not earlier. Mr. Bancroft, of Athens, Ga., has pick ed this season from one and three-fourth acres ts ground 4,290 pounds of cotton, and expects to set 800 pounds more. The reasons for this yield are one hundred pounds superphosphate, one hundred pounds Peruvian guano, and ono hundred pounds of salt. Probable Early Repeal of the Cot ton Tax.—The Baltimore Sun’s Wash ington special of the 11th eays: "From the members of Congress who have been here recently, and others now in the city, it appear* that there is strong probability that the tas cn ootton will be repealed short'/ after Congress convenes. The pressure in favor es this repeal in all di rections of Lhs North from influential citi— ctaa i* almost irresistible.” she ?«tb tn Fence. The Naw York 1 7or!d of the 13th inst. has a long article under the above heading, the wiain points of which will be found be low. The World is the leading Democratic journal at the North, and it may well be inferred that it has oot spoken on this question without mature deliberation and the isterehange of views with some of the lradia* me# of its party iu tho North and West. W# give its reasonings and its conclusious to our readers to-day without 'so lament. Via may return to the subject at some other time, if we find that the ideas throw* out by tbs World meet any ; thing like a general response from the I Derr.oeratio party and press of tho North and West. After reviewing the present situation oi th* oountry, and the efforts which have bee* made rince the conclusion of the war to restore the Union with peace and har mony between the two sections, and the failures which have.followcd those efforts, it proposes a plan by which this may be accomplished. It says: “The first important preliminary is a national conference composed of men of moderation and character representing all the various interests. A mode can easily he contrived for bringing ench a conference together, if public opinion shall endorse its expediency. Nor would there be any difficulty in designating many of tho men whooughtto participate in its deliberations. The South should be represented by such men as Wade Hampton, Alexander H. Stephens. Governor Orr. ex-Qov. Brown, William 0. Rive*. Gen. Dick Taylor Gen. Longstrect, and others of similar modera tion and standing. Our objet of e —re is not to provide a list, but specimens.— There is no greater reason for dej i- nag the death of the late Governor Andrew than that such a conference cannot have the assistance of his counsels and eloquence. But the Bepubliean party lias many men capable of a similar liberality. Without going beyond cur immediate vicinity for samples, we venture to name Hamilton Fish. William iC. Bryant. Henry Ward Beecher, and even Horace Greeley, as men who could meet the representatives of the South in amicable discussion, with * sincere desire to reach mutually satis factory results. The Democrats would seud their soundest and wisest men. A | conference of this kind, consisting of sixty ! or eighty men of eminent standing, ripe experience, and persuasive temper, would succeed in ending some solution of our national difficulties which would lift the Union out of the slough of party polities, and re establish it on the only basis where- j on it can stand—that of comprehensive, all-adjusting equity. Any propositions which a conference so composed should agree a recommending, would probably be so intrinsically fair, so marked by con siderate and reconciling justice, that they would command a popular support wide enough to put them into the Constitution, il that should be deemed their fittest em bodiment . Thus much for the initial stages oi the method; we will now proceed, with more hesitation and diffidence, to harari som-_- hints relating to the substance. It is of course not what we suggest, but what th proposed conference might after full con sultation agree in, that ~e should expect U The negro question being the knot of the difficulty-it would be futile to offer any sug rrr—r whuk *d not iteiide that. Fiona ! the very nature of the conflict, ail parlies ! must abate something of their claims as a moans of securing permanence for what is j granted; just as in entering into civil so i ciety men relinquish some of their nat ; ural rights to secure the protection of the j whole body for the remainder. Vi hat is yielded on the negro question may also be i in part compensated by concessions gained |on other points. The extreme party cn one side demands that negro suffrage shall Ibe immediate and universal. But this party is confronted by an obstacle it cannot ignore in the demonstration, just given in the elections, that the public opinion of the country does not support its claims. As friends of the negro, they %ad tetter accept a postponed and gradually extending suffrage, guaranteed by common consent, | than take the risk of getting nothing by [ prematurely demanding all. The extreme ! party on the other side demands the perma ! nent and universal exclusion of the negroes | from the suffrage- But th ; - party cannot I ignore the fact that the Republicans are :n j possession of the Government, and that | time enough will elapse be "re the go out | to consolidate the negro race in such reeled I antipathy to the white, as to preclude or ! postpone to another generation, all hope ! of harmonizing the interests of the two races. The prompt restoration of the Union is an interest of such magnitude as | to be worth a sacrifice ; but this healing promptitude is not attainable without con siderable concessions in favor of the ne groes. Our own plan would be, to require a five years’ probation from the date of their emancipation, as we do of the more i intelligent white immigrants who come hither from the despotisms of the old world; and then admit the first generation on a very small property qualification (say half of what was required of the first gener- ation of white freemen in this State), aad in the second generation when a majority of heads of families wiil probably have become property-holders, make the suf frage universal. The necessity for these dilatory precautions lies in the fact that the chief evil to be guarded against in the State Governments is extravagant expen ditures and oppressive taxes; an evil against which there is no other protection in a republican government (and even this protection is not very sufficient) than that j they who lay the taxes shall also fee! them. ! Universal suffrage is safe in the North | because a majority of our citizens are : owners of property ; but republican gov ernment would not long survive among us if the avenues to competence were closed against industry and thrift. We shall not stickle for this compromise of the negro question; but without some compromise there can bo no durable settlement. Another conciliatory measure which we venture to suggest, is the adoption of cer tain provisions of the Confederate Consti tution. If there is not manliness enough ia the country to recognize what is really good in that instrument, our people are greater bigots or noodles than we deem them. We do not say that a man is a political bigot who contests the excellence of the provisions, but only that he is a carping idiot if he objects to a thing acknowledged to be good in itself because it has that particular origin. One of the provisions of the Confederate Constitution which we recommend for consideration is this: "The principal officer in each of the executive departments, and al! persons connected with the diplomatic service, may be removed from office at the pleasure of the President. All other civil officers of the executive department may be removed at any time by the President or other ap pointing power, when their services are unnecessary, or for dishonesty, incapacity, inefficiency, misconduct, or neglect of duty; and when so removed, the removal shall be reported to the Senate together with the reasons thereof.” There is perhaps no change which would contribute so much to the stability of our institutions as the in corporation of this provision into the Con stitution. It would prevent tho country from being convulsed, in every Presidential election, by tho reckless and selfish scram bles for the control of the federal patron age, which is doing more than all other causes to corrupt the people and under mine the. Government. The South can easily accept it, having already given it their solemn approval. The Republican party should be willing to accept it as a rational substitute for their Ten ure of Office Bill. No conjuncture will ever again occur so propitious for its adoption ; and besides its solid merit, it would be n jink of harmony between both of the chief parties to this unhappy controversy. If there were joined with it the provision of the Confederate Constitu tion extending the Presidential term to six years and making the incumbent afterward ineligible, our Presidents would no longer j be tempted to subordinate the interests of ! the country to the hope of a re-election, j We also recommend the following ex- | cellent provisions of the Confederate Con- j stitution : “Congress shall appropriate no j money from the treasury except by a vote 1 of two-thirds of both houses, taken by yeas and nays, unless it be asked and estimated for by some ono of the heads of depart ments and submitted to Congress by the President; or for the purpose of paying its own expenses and contingencies; or for the payment of claims against the govern ment. tho justice of which shall have been judicially declared by a tribunal for the in vestigation of claims against the govern ment, which it is hereby made the duty of Congress to establish. ’ ’ "All bills appropriating money shall specify the exact amount of each appro priation and the purposes for which it is made; and Congress shall grant no extra compensation to any public contractor, officer, agent or servant, after such con tract shall have been made or such service rendered.” “The President may approve any appro priation and disapprove any other appro priation in the same bill. In such case he shall, in signing the bill, designate the ap propriations disapproved, and shall return a copy of such appropriations, with his ob jections, to tho House in which the bill shall have originated; and the same pro ceedings shall be had as in the ease of other bills disapproved bj' the President.” There is no other provision of the Con federate Constitution which we should wish to see adopted. _ The adoption of these wholesome pro visions would be a just and manly recogni tion of Southern wisdom. It would be a compliment without any concession ; or if a concession, we should take more by it than we should give. It would not only | be an evidence of kind and respectful sen timents, but a valuable improvement of the common Constitution under which we ax*e all destined to live. Universal amnesty and exemption from all disabilities in consequence of the war, woul i be granted es course. If this programme, or one conceived in a similar spirit, should be adopted, party strife would be hushed in the coming Presi dential election. The congratulations _of all real patriots would make party spirit an easy sacrifice on the common altar; and j some man who has acquired the confidence of the country without party identification would be taken to secure the steadiness of the ship in the beginningof her new course. Happily, the man is less difficult to find than the measures; but neither can avail anything without the other. _ If the old battle is to be fought out, it will be neces sary to run party chiefs. Nothing could be more absurd or incongruous than a fierce struggle of contending parties for the success of contesting policies, led by neutral candidates. The cause must be embodied and truly represented by the man; party candidates must heads party canvass; 'to this complexion it must come at last,” unless there shall be a harmonis ing compromise before the meeting of the conventions. district court. HON. JOHN EKSKINE, JUDGE, PRESIDING. November 15, 1567. —The petit jury was called and discharged until ten o'clock to-morrow morning. At the request of ex-Governor J • E. Brown, as counsel for Foster Blodgett, Mayor of Augusta, the grand jury were | brought into Court, and after their names | were called the counsel stared to the i Court that there was pending before the grand jury a charge oi perjury against said ! Blodgett, and proposed to challenge sev eral members of said jury on the ground : that they had been engaged ia the late re j hellion, and as counsel, ho said, because his client had reason to believe, and did 1 believe, that he would not receive justice 1 at the hands of the jurors named. After hearing the argument of ex-Gov ernor Br-.wn in support of his motion, District Attorney Fitch, who was in New Yerhat the time of the empannelling of the grand jury, addressed tue Court in an eloquent and spirited argument in opposi tion to the motion, in which he contended that it was only the Government that could take advantage of the provisions of the Act of ComrroY-t ::-ed on the 17th of June, 1862, 1:1th statutes at large, page 430. The District Attorney . ring further time to produce authorities in support of his position, the Court adjourned the fur ther hearing of the case until nine o’clock to-morrow morning.-— Savannah Republi can, 16tA. A dispatch in our telegraphic column, received last night, states that the Court sustained the objection of ex-Govercor Brown, and ordered anew jury to be- em panne-ded. V> e have heretofore spoken ot this prosecution as a humbug. Erskine and Blodgett are in the same box, the one being as deep in the mire as the other— both having participated in the late war against the Federal Government. J udge Erskine is in precisely the same con dition a- the accused, and the Court, in sen tencing Blodgett, would be pronouncing a judgment against Judge Erskine and nil others similarly situated. For the reasons . alleged, we hare set our face again h a farce which can only result iu white-washing all I the/ ‘scalawags” in the State. BY TELEGRAPH. TO THE ASSOCIATED PRESS. From Europe. New York, November 16, noon. — ! Marshal Bazaine succeeds Forey in com mand of the third army corps, with head- I quarters at Nancy. No day is mentioned for the assembling I of Napoleon’s Roman Conference. The execution of the Manchester con : viets will occur on the 23diust. The third Parliament of the North Ger man Confederation has assembled. | The King declared retaliation with Eu ropean powers entirely satisfactory. The Government would studiously endeavor to reconcile the views of the Catholic sub jects and with the interests of the whole Jbatheilaud. The peace of Europe is now certain.

Washington, November 16, p. tn. — Senator Wilson, in a letter to a North Carolina negro, dated November Bth, says: “I came home from the South with the conviction that the cotton tax ought to be repealed, and that it ought to apply to the crop of this year, and I am confirmed in the conviction by all I hear from your sec tion. I hope Congress will at once repeal the cotton tax.” From Washington. Washington, November 16, noon.— Stevens is quoted: "We must take no steps backward.” The Reconstruction of the Southern States on the basis of the Military Bill must be hurried up so that as many as possible of them maybe represent ed in tho coming Presidential nominating convention. The Republican nominating party would assuredly elect their nominee in the next Presidential contest and there was no need to run after or coax any man into accepting their nomination. In less than three years they eonld recover the North ern States, and with the Federal patronage the loyal white element of the South would always carry the negro population with them and then give the party a lease of power for the next fifty years. Washington, November 16, p. ra. — The Judiciary Committee to-day examined several unimportant witnesses regarding the government ofMaryland, andhave post poned further investigation of that subject until after tho first week of the session.

In 1566 Great Britain and Ireland consumed 1,548,000 bales of American cotton and 2,600,000 bales cf cotton grown in India and other countries, which shows that the former has power to compete closely with the' latter, although in estimating quantity some allowance must be made for the fact that Indian bales are smaller and lighter than American bales. To the increased supply from India wo may attribute the extreme decline which has taken place in cotton, o£ the market for which wc have, for the time being at least, lost control. The present tax, under such circumstances, becomes more than ordinarily oppressive, and the public revenue is sufficiently large to enable the Government to repeal ii without inconvenience, although it yielded about $17,500,000 last year and is estimat ed to produce nearly double ttis_ sum during the present year. — N.

[ii should be borne in mind that our quotations r<j resent wholesale prices. BmaH lots, to Planters and others, are filled at a shade higher rates.] COTTON.—The Liverpool Market has declined about Id during tho week, under unfavorable advices from Manchester. This depression has caused a decline of nearly one cent in the New York market, which closes dull at from IS to 18j for Mid dling. During the forepart of the week, the home market was firm and active, at from 16 to 16j cents for Middling, but it closed dull at 15j to 15J cents. Cotton is coming in freely, both by rail and wagon, but the low price depresses trade, aad prevents that activity which generally prevails at this season. Tho in dications are that Cotton will not advance very materially, unless the consumption and demand become greater in England, which appears uncertain. Iu view of this, it- is perhaps bost for our planters to bring in theircrop and dispose of it at once. The following shows the week's business ; l rainy. Ihe market has been quiet but firm to-day at 18@10j cents for New Yors Middling, the demand being princi pally for good grades. Sales 56S bales. Receipts 1,062 bales.

The Grand Jury for tho November Term, 1567, of the Superior Court of Jeffer son County, make the following Present ments : Through a committee appointed for that purpose, we have examined tiro County Records, and find tho books kept noatlv and correctly. The books of the County Treasurer wc haye carefully examined and find that his vouchers correspond with the orders drawn upon him, and that his accounts aro neatly and correctly kept. We have also examined the Jail and Court House; the former wo find neat and clean, with the exception of tho southeast room, which needs cleansing—in the latter wo find a number of the windows require glazing. A sense of duty compels us fo.notice the condition of some of our public roads, but in performing this duty we feel that we are merely going through an empty form, as no public good will likeiy resuit from our action. Grand Juries after Grand Juries have, year after yenr, drawn the attention of the proper authorities to the bad condition of some of our-roads, and the only notice taken of the action has been the reading of tho presentments and possibly the adoption of a resolution to have lliem published in some newspaper, while the roads remained un worked. The Inferior Court seems to feel that when road commissioners are appointed, their whole duty in the matter is done; when the overseer is appointed, tho commis sioners (as a general thing) seem to feel that their duty is done; and when the hands have been warned out and a few hoes full of dirt drawn from a fence corner to the middle of the road, and perchance one or two roots taken out, tho overseer seems to feel that his whole duty is not only done, but most completely and per fectly clone. In tho opinion ol this body, tho duty of each set ot officers goes a little further than that; the Court should see to it that the commissioners, overseers and hands all do their duty fully, and if either fails, let them pay the'penalty. This duty they owe not only to the whole commu nity, but especially to those citizens who perform this work well and cheerfully, as we are pleased to say a large number does. Where one portion of the commu nity does-its public, work well, the other portion should bo made (if necessary) to do its in a like manner. It has been stated, as a fact, to this body, that the road from the four mile post to" Grant’s Creek, on the road leading from Louisville to Clark’s Mill, has been worked 'out one time during the last eight years, and wo know that it is now almost impassable. The emanci pation of the slaves has made a great change in the strength of llio road forco in some of the districts, and we would sug gest to the inferior Court tho propriety of changing the district lines to suit the present condition of things. We present the following roads as being in bad condi tion and needing work, viz; the Warren ton road, from tio two mile post to It. M. Samples ; tho read from Louisville to Cowart’s Bridge; the road from Lonisyilie to No. 10C. R. K. as far an tho County line, and the road from Louisville to No. 11 C. R. R., as far as the river. Some of these roads have recently had a little work done on them, but they need more. The following Bridges are in want of re pairs, some es them being in a very dangerous condition, viz: Patterson’s, over Brier Creek; Reedy Creek, near Jefferson Bath; Wood’s and Parker's, both over Williamson Swamp and Rocky Comfort, near Louisville; tho one over Big Creek,on theWr.ynesbcio’ rend, is down and im passable, and has been for several months past; Curvart’s Bridge'Snd the burnt ones at the Causeway, wo learn, will soon be rebuilt. We know tho times are hard and money scarce, but we would urge upon our fellow-citizens to bear cheerfully the bur den of an ex! ra tax until our bridges can ail bo repaired and, when necessary, re built. They are necessary to enable us to getour produce to market, and without an extra tax it will be years before they eau all bo worked ou. In regard to the selling of ardent spirits, we are of the opinion that some of our citi zens have been ignorantly violating the law. Until the adoption of the “Code” it was not unlawful to sell a quart or more without license. Now, wo are informed, that the sale of any quantity less than a gallon requires a license. Nor is it lawful to sell it by the bottle as a medicine without license, except on tiie written prescription of a physician. Nordoestho United States lax on the manufacture and sale of it au thorize the sale of it without State license. It is with profound regret that we notice the growing disposition in our'community to allow violations of law to go unwhipt of j ustice. To arrest an e vil doer, go through the form of a trial, and turn him loose, we think far more prejudicial to the pence and good order of society than to situ tour eyes to Uto offence, and allow the criminal laws to be as dead. To tiro ignorant such ac qnittaisare taken as a license for further and still greater violations of lawn The present constitution of society, in ouropin ion, demands the most rigid enforcement of law. Let the evil doer know that lie cannot violate the law without suffering, and a safeguard is thereby thrown around society; forit is not so much the severity as tho certainty of punishment which tends to chock the commission of crime. Ju taking leave of his Honor Judge Gibson, we cannotforcgo I!to pleasure we experience in bearing testimony to bisable, impartial and dignified administration of justice. To our worthy and talented Attorney <ienerul Whitehead wo return our thanks, not only for his kindness to us individu ally and collectively, but also for tiie dili geneeand promptness which he basshown in the discharge of his duties during the en tire session of our court. We would respectfully request that so much of our Presentments as are of public interest be published in thagjhronicle and i.Sentinel. Edmd. 11. W. Hunter. Foreman. Jas. A. Big ham, A i.ex.

Important Bankbctcy Decision.— ln the matter of Bankruptcy of J. J. Milner, pending before Alexander G. Murray, Register in thi3 city, two creditors pro posed to prove their debts, whereupon Messrs. Doyal & Nunnally, Attorneys for Bankrupt, objected to said debts being proven, upon two grounds, to-wit: Ist. Be cause the consideration of the debt was Con federal: Treasury Notes, borrowed in 1863. 2d. Because the Bankrupt borrowed from one of said creditors, twenty-five hundred dollars of Confederate Treasury N otes, with which he hired a substitute to serve in the Confederate armies, in the war against the United States. The objections were sus tained by the Register, and the points were certified to the Judge of the District Court of the United States for the North ern District of Georgia, who affirmed the 1 decision of' the Register. The question is ; therefore settled, that notes given for Con : federate Treasury Notes are void, and 1 cannot be collected or proven in Bank ruptcy in this State. —Griffin Star.

Cotton cannot be rail for less than twenty cents per pound, cl of taxes, freight end commission and tl will not pay where less than four bales is ra ed per laborer. If any one does not belit it, let him pay five dollars rent per acre land, from sixteen to twenty-two cents 1 pound for bacon, for corn from one dol fifty to one doflar seventy-five cents j bushel, the present high prices for muh and the exorbitant prices we are n< paying for all kinds of agricultural imp ineuts, aud then make from two to tin bales of cotton per hand, as is, with f< exceptions, the ease this year, and th obtain only fourteen or fifteen cents p pound for cotton. Such an one, Isa will be practically convinced of tho sac vvhea he closes his accounts at the end tfic year. A burned child dreads the fir and hence your humble servant is bound quit the business, and is now, like Mica ber, looking for something to turn u . - “fc> '.o turn u upon which he may ' seize to make a su port for wife and children. The average crop before the war thirty-three plantations, twenty-ei dit Lowndes county, and five in Mosul county, was 7,600 bales ; this year th same niantations wili not make more ti 2, .>OO bales. And yet the crops on tli uiirty-threo plantations aro much bet than the general crop of these counti At least such is my information at diligent inquiry after the truth. As =0 planters are giving one third, and oth one-fourth of the cotton raised to 1 freedmen, not more than 1,800 bales i be realized by the planters of these thir three plantations. These 1,800 bales cotton, at seventy dollars net per bt wid bring $120,000. The meat, corn, b ging and tics, loss of mules, wear and t< of farming implements, Ac., kc u-ed running these plantations, will not anioi to less than $200,000 or $250,000. He then, is a clear loss, and yet the land 1 been thrown in. And lienee we m safely conclude that a large amount means must be drawn next year from 1 commission merchants to run these plan tions another year. Last year tho hi prices obtained helped out the short ness the crop. The cottoa market opened 1 tear at forty cents, this year from eiglitc to twenty cents. At twenty cents net cotton, one half the planters of Lowm and JNoxuuee will *u be able to pay th liabilities of this year’s planting. This very discouraging and is enough to previ its further production. We arc compel to diversify our labor. We must have < pasture Janas so as to raise our owu mu and horses, hogs and cattle; the raising all kinds of grain must be attended to, tuat we may no longer be dependent on i world for our subsistence. We must 1a our own fruit of all kinds, Irish and sv potatoes, peas, beans, onions and cabling and no longer rely on the great North these edibles. It will not uu to raise c< ton and then purchase all these articles high prices, ii we uo we must forever 1 main poor. We must raise but little cotton, a manufacture that little at home. It is o only salvation. England can now g along without American cotton. If at one doubts it, let him read the late repo made by the President of the “Cott< bupply Association” of England, and 1 will then be convinced of the fact. Sin 1860, suen has been the impetus given t the production of cotton in Brazil, Egypi Greece, Hindostan and India, and sue has been the improvement in the staph and such have been the great improve ments made in the machinery of the grea manufactories of Europe, that they no' say they can get along without America cotton. Let us, then, take warning and save oui solves while wo may. It can he done h doing as above suggested. Let us com mencc at once sowing largely of wheat. II on the first of January, IS6B, we hav any money left, after paying off our liabili ties, let us commence a huge cotton sac tory, and make our own calicoes and fin domestics. Let the same be done in ever county throughout our cotton region where the requisites can be procured. Sterling. ahe proudest man, as well as the great est, will stoop to a flower.
