And puts on her silver crown; And I feel the ghostly presence Os a love I counted dead, Walking through my heart's dark chambers With a still and noiseless tread. Oh. the white, accusing phantom ! How it haunts me night and day! I have plead that it would vanish, Yet it never goes away. Once you wooed me, says the shadow, Then you thrust mo,'won, aside! I will never, never leave you— In your heart I will abido. Haunted hearts! Oh, there aro many Scattered up and down the land; Ghostly forms go stalking through them, Pointing with a phantom hand To the graves of love neglected, Till it drooped away and died. And my heart mnst ever be haunted lly the love it thrust aside. WISHING. a cnii.n's soso. King-ting! I wish I were a primrose, A bright yellow primrose blowing in the Spring! The stooping boughs above me, The wandering bee to love me, The fern and moss to creep across, And the elm tree for our king! Nav stay ! I wish I worn aif elm tree, A groat lofty elm tree, with green loaves gay ! The winds would set them dancing, The sun and moonshine glance in, The birds would house among tho boughs, And sweetly sing. O*—no! I wish I wore a robin, A robin or a littlo wren, everywhere to go ; • Through forest, lield or garden, To ask no loavo or pardon, Till Winter comos wich icy thumbs To ruffle up our wing! Well -toll! Where should I fly to, Where go to sleep in tho dark wood or doll ? Before a day was over Home comes rover For mother’s kiss—sweeter this Than any other thing. Wit.

The writer has doubtieHS HitiTorod from tho class to whom it rotors — PGossips and Scandal Mongers, the Stinging Adders -Hissing Serpents and Poisoned Scor pions of eur social system.” We shun one of those infamous wretches as wo would the devil. Parents and guardians, keen your children from the society of those moral assassins as you would from a moral loper, whose breath is po lutiou and touch is death. They Say. They say—Ah! well, suppose they do ; But can they prove the story true ? Suspicion may arise from naught But malico, onvy. want of thought; Why count yourself among tho “they” Who whisper what they dare not say ? They say -hut why tho talo rohoarso, And help to make the matter worse ? No good can possibly accrue From tolling what may ho untrue ; And is it not a nobler plan To speak of all tho host you can ? Tliay Hav well, if it should ho so, Why nood yon toll tho talo of woo ? Will it the hotter wrong redress, Or make ono pang of sorrow loss? Will it tho orring ono restore, Jloncoforth to "go and sin no more ?” They-—oh! pauso and look within 1 Soo how thy heart inclines to sin ! Watch, lost in dark temptation's hour Thou, too, shouldst sink beneath its power ! Pity tho frail, weep o’er their fall, But Hpoak of good or not at all. THE DYING STREET ARAB. I knows what you moan; I’m a dyin’. Well. I ain't no worse nor tho rost; 'Taint them as does nothin’ but prayin’, I reckon, as is the host. I ain’t had no father nor mother A tollin’ mo wrong from tho right; The streets ain’t tho place —is it parson ? For sayin' your prayers of a night! ! I never knowod who was my father, And mothor, sho died long ago; Tho folks hero they brought mo upsomohows — It ain't much they havo teachod mo, I know. Yet, I think thoy’U he sorry and miss mo, When took right away front this hero, For Homotimos 1 catches thorn slyly A-wipiu' away of a tear.

I’ve stood in them streets precious often, When tho wet’s been a-pourin’ down, And I ain’t had so much as a mouthful, Nor uovor so much as a brown.

There, give me you're hand, sir, and thankee For the good as you’ve done a poor lad; Who knows, had they toached some better, I miglm’t havo growed up so bad ? Matthias Baku. Ottkaoes on the Texan Border.—A private letter just received by a gentle man iu New York from Col. T. F. Robb, Chairman of tho Commission appointed under an act of Congress passed last Winter, to investigate alleged outrages by Mexicans on the Texan border, depicts a distressing state of affairs there. The Commission is now sitting at Brownsville, Texas. Col. Robb says: On account of the great mass of tes timony being brought before the Com mission iu regard to depredations on this frontier, it is impossible for me to tell what time we will get through at this place. Tho testimony is of a grave and highly important character. I re gret that the amount appropriated by Congress to defray the expenses of the Commission will not enable it to take one-third of the testimony that is in course of preparation by those who have suffered so many years from bandits, thieves and murderers. The Commis sion has no Secretary, and wo are obliged to work steadily eight hours a day, which is hard work in this climate. Many of the victims of the bandits are hard" at work preparing their cases to present to us, but the appropriation t hat pays onr expenses will soon be ex hausted, and most of tlie claimants will be sadly disappointed when we leave, as they will not have a chance to bo heard by the Commission.” A Case for the Doctors. —Miss An na liigon, a young lady of the neigh borhood of Lebanon Church, when quite a child and more than twenty-five years ago, ran two dogwood splinters in the lower part of her foot, which remained concealed and gave no pain until recently, when inflammation and suppuration supervened, and tlie splin ters were discharged from the upper part of the foot. They had remained buried in the flesh more than twenty five years, without pain, and were then thrown out. Why the long delay and the final result ? Let the doctors an swer.—Abbeville Press and Banner. A Utica man has invented a traveling trunk -with this improvement: Taking hold of the handle and lifting one end from the floor, a sharp pull draws out a hand-bar similar to those by which a hand-cart is drawn or propelled, and at the same time two strong wheels drop beneath. The trunk is at once a box on wheels, and the traveler can draw it away independent of porters or express men. Anew National Bank has been or ganized in Union under the name of “ The Merchants and Planters’ Bank of Union,” with Wm. Munro, President ; Thos. B. Jeter, Vice-President; and E. B. Wallace, Cashier, RELIGIOUS INTELLIGENCE. Methodism has survived the attacks of 706 books. The Cumberland Presbyterian Church was organized in 1805 or 1806. Seventy pews in Dr. Stone’s church. San Francisco, recently rented for $50,- 102. Out of 303 colleges in the United States, 265 are supported by religions denominations. The Baptists in California, within the last ten years, have expended $25,521 in State missions. Recent statistics show that the Wes leyan Church in Australia is largely in excess of any other denomination. Universalism lias declined about one tliird in the number of its ministers in the United States during the last ten years. A synod met lately in Madrid, Spain, representing 19 churches. It elected a consistory, and adopted a confession of faith. The Baptist Church property of Phil adelphia is worth over 82,000,000, ex clusive of the Baptist Home and the Baptist Publishing Rooms. The Moravians claim that the honor of being the first Missionary Church in this country belongs to them. They com menced missionary operarions in 1787 among the Indians. It is said that the Rev. Mr. Spurgeon will visit Brooklyn in the Autumn as the guest of Dr. Talmage, and will proba bly preach for him at the TaTjemacle. The whole number of traveling preach ers of the Methodist Church, South, is is 2,858. Local preachers, 4,898. White members, 000,909; colored members, 7,8i1. There are 4,433 Indian members. The out-door and secret gatherings of the Hugenots in France, and of the Dis senters in England, probably gave the first rise to all subsequent movements that culminated in camp meetings. In America their beginning is said to have been occasioned by a want of church buildings. The Methodists of Baltimore arfe build ing a church of four different kinds of stone —green, cream, brown and white stones—taken from four States, with all its columns of finest Scotch marble. The style is Gothic, and when finished will cost over three hundred thousand dollars. A Baltimore gentleman proposes that all the Christian people of the world unite in a solemn religious service on one day each year. He would have a single missionary sermon, prepared by someone person and telegraphed to every station in the world. Mr. Spurgeon, in a recent address, said he was thinking about calling the preachers together and having a strike. He was quite sure that a very large pro portion of the preachers of all denomi nations did not earn anything like so much as the man who laid the stones of the church. Rev. ,1. Ditzler proposes “a convention of delegates from all the Christian bodies of the country to meet and devise plans for an agreement that churches should not he built on such costly and gorgeous plans, but with an eye to neatness, plain ness and simplicity.” The Episcopal Church in New Jersey is debating the question of giving its clergymen salaries ample enough to live upon independently. This relief from dependence upon the gratuity of parish ioners is, after all, only a tardy tribute to justice which should have been insti tuted in all religious localities long ago. The American Sunday School Union has organized over fifty thousand Sun day schools in destitute neighborhoods and frontier settlements. It lias gather ed into those schools two millions five hundred thousand neglected children, and can point to about two thousand churches, the outgrowth of its mission work. Mr. Fernloy, a distinguished layman of tho Wesleyan Methodist Church, Southport, England, has erected a build ing for general meetings of Christian or ganizations in Manchester, at a cost of SIOO,OOO. He has also erected a church at Southport, costing $35,000, and has given $25,000 for the Wesleyan Missions in India. The North Carolina Delegation. Asheville, N. C., August 31, 1872. To tin- Editor of the Courier-Journal : A few days since certain gentlemen •left this town to attend tho Louisville Straight-out Democratic Convention, to wit: Col. John A. Fagg, Mr. Flaur nay, and one W. 11. Traut, accompanied by ono Binkney Rollins, editor of the Asheville Pioneer , one of the meanest and most viiulictivo Radical shoots in the State, the said editor being also the revenue collector for this district. Flaurnay and Traut voted the Radical ticket in tho late election, both the meanest typo of oarpot-baggors, one hailing from Now Jersey and the other floating about generally. Colonol John A. Fagg i» ft disappointed old man, be ing a disorgauizor from the beginning of tho campaign. He was an independ ent candidate for the legislature, ran a few weeks, and, seeing lie was utterly doomed, quit, sore-headed and airily, The District Court of tho United Staies has just closed its session here. Ono (.’arrow Marshall, of this State, better known to the people of the United States as thn man who controls tho Grant electioneering corruption fund for this State, and the man whom Hon. Mr. Beck, of your State, preyed had obtained ft large sum from tho United States Treasury to control the election here, appears before the foot lights. He, with one Major Marcus Erwin, of this town, was observed to be in dose confab with this gay trio during the session of the Court, and there can be no doubt that the “ sinews of war” lire furnished those Straigh-outs out of this Carrow corruption fund. They will doubtless blow largely as to the strength of the Bourbons here. Be assured there is no truth In tlicir state ments. Neither of the gentlemeu fiouhl carry twenty-five Democratic votes iu Western North Carolina, and my im pression is, that if they vote the Straight out ticket (which I very much doubt) they will be the only votes given for that ticket in this sectiuu, I have thought it might be well for you to be in possession of these facts, to enable you to take such steps as yon may think proper.

Servian Justice—Horrible Punish ment of a Horrible Crime. There is no State in Europe in which the barbarous punishment of breaking on the wheel is inflicted on criminals except Servia, of the semi-dependencies of Turkey. In Servia they have three methods of punishing murderers, high way robbers and incendiaries. In the most aggravated cases execution by breaking on the wheel is inflicted. In other cases the culprits are tied to chairs, and the headsman runs a sharp knife across their throats and then breaks their spine. If there are pe culiar circumstances of mitigation the culprits are shot by a file of soldiers. One of the most revolting crimes ever committed in Servia was the as sassination of the whole family of a wealthy farmer, named Detrestisy, iu the Bialin District, about twenty miles from Belgrade, the capital of Servia. On the 24th of April Detrestisy, a man of forty years of age, his wife, Susau uali, twenty-nine years old, and his tlir-'e children, Frances, Kathinka and Araudeas, aged respectively twelve, nine and four years, were found in the house murdered. It was also discovered that the; mother and the two daughters had been outraged. All the victims had been beaten with bludgeons and then stabbed. An nctive search was at once made for the perpetrators. Two days afterward they were discovered in a forest about four miles from where the crime had been committed. They wore Sebastulus Alexiry, formerly a nou-commissioued officer in the army of the Sultan of Tur key, and Moses Alexander Werthstein, an Austrian Jew. When they were arrested the officers found several hundred zequins and the watch of the murdered farmer in their Sossession. They were taken in irons t-o ucliarest. Upon being brought before the examining magistrate they denied any knowledge of the crime; but the las'll, which is there still used upon the mendacious criminals, was not long in eliciting a confession from the tortnred Werthstein. After receiving fifty lashes on the bare back, he confessed that Alexiry and he had broken into the house of the farmer in order to rob him of 300 zequins. They succeeded in forcing their way into the house, but were confronted ’by him, whereupon a desperate scuffle ensued. The farmer fought valiantly, but they clubbed him, and then finished him with their dirk knives. Alexiry refused to confess, and remain ed firm oven under the torture of the lash, freely administered by order of the magistrate. Both Alexiry and Werth stein were fully committed. Their trial before the full bench of criminal judges came off on the 11th of June. It lasted but one hour. Both were found guilty of murder without extenuating circum stances, and sentenced to be broken on the wheeL There was loud applause in court when the sentence was pronounced. Alexiry listened to it without emotion. Werthstein, however, broke into loud screams, tore his hair and yelled for mercy. The officers of the court had to drag him back to his cell. The 14th of July was fixed for the ex ecution. They were to expiate their doom on the old glacis of the fortress of Belgrade, upon which Prince Engene, of Savoy, made once his famous assault. The execution was to take place at 8 a. m., and an enormous concourse assem bled to witness it. The scaffold was circular, of wood, and the only distinc tive feature about it was a St. Andrew’s cross, slightly elevated above tho plat form. About half-past 7 tho executioners ar rived. One was a heavy-built man, and the other almost a giant. Both were dressed in green flannel jackets, and had their arms bare. When the clock on St. Mary’s steeple at Belgrade struck 8, there emerged from the gate of the fortress a proces sion headed by four horsemen. Next followed the carriage in which the.Tudges and the priest were seated. As the pro cession emerged from the gate loud shrieks were heard. They were those of Werthstein, who, chained as he was, hand and foot, screamed to Heaven for help. Under ordinary circumstances, his appeals might have had some effect upon the people. But, knowing the fearful crime which he and his accom plice had committed, there was not a voice raised in his favor, and the sol diers were rather oncouraged to punch him with the butt ends of their muskets. When the criminals has been brought on the platform every stitch of clothing left upon Alexiry was torn off, and he was firmly tied to the St. Andrew’s cross. Until this moment he had preserved his equanimity. But now the executioner drew from a green bag a sort of iron club, with a knob at its head. The fastened criminal looked wistfully at the man who was to torture him, and then put him to death. The executioner raised the iron club and crushed Alexiry’s right shoulder. The murderer gave a shriek, and made a desperate effort to free himself. He struggled desperately in his agony, but the next blow which tho executioner gave him— on tho knee-pan—elicited from tho cul prit a scream of pain that caused the blood of the spectators to freeze. After this infliction ho seemed insensible, and the-othor blows that crashed his joints, and the finishing strokes on his belly, were given as to a dead man. Meanwhile, Werthstein, in his chains, had to look on. Ho rent tho air with his lamentations, and came near fainting away when the executioner dealt Alexiry the first blow. Ho flung himself to the floor, and begged piteously for his life; but, after the lifeless corpse of Alexiry had been detached from the fatal cross, the Jew was dragged to it, and, in spite of his invocation, fastened to it like his accomplice. He yelled even before he received the first stroke with tho iron club; but when that instrument of tor ture descended upon his shoulder-joint, he gave an unearthly scream, and the executioner’s blow upon his knee-pan made him howl still worse. For five minutes—an eternity under the circumstances—he continued his yells, aud it was not until the executioner gave him three heavy blows on the ab domen that all was quiet, nnd Servian justice was satisfied. TIIE COTTON QUESTION. Statistics of the Crop of 1871-’73—An Interesting Array of Figures. [From the Now York Bulletin.] With August the official cotton year of 1871-’72 closed, and although it is impossible at this early period to bring forth reliable statistics of the crop and its distribution, we give in the following tables and remarks ns full dotails as can be furnished from carefully kept records of our own, aud from tho statistics of the Cotton Exchange as published up to the present time. Our figures aro re liable so far as they go, though the ex tent of the crop and the whole amount exported from the United States are items necessarily based partially upon estimates, but so near correct as to af ford a very safe basis for any deductions that those in the cotton trade may de sire to make from these totals. The mail and telegraphic advices received up to this date from the Southern ports, and the most reliable data obtainable relative to our own market, show the total receipts during the year to have been 2,725,430 bales. To this must be added tho “ overland shipments,” the consumption of tho Southern mills, and stock otherwise unaccounted for, which will bring the crop up to about 3,000,000 bales, or a million and a quarter below the crop of 1870-71. With 1871-72, tho following is a comparison of tho crops for the past six years, previous to which there is an interval of five years for which no reliable figures can bo obtained: Bales. 18C6-G7 1,951,988 18(17-68 2,430,893 1868-(j9 2,260,557 1889-70 3,114,592 1870- 4,352,317 1871- (about) 3,000,000 The net receipts at and exports from tl(e soveral ports have boon as follows : Becoipts.

The lowest price, 18f cents, was reached iu October. The market opened on Friday, September Ist, 1871, at 19} cents, and closed Saturday even ing, August 31st, 1872, at 22 cents. There has been nothing in the busi ness of this market, nor, indeed, in the crop movement elsewhere, to warrant very extended note at this time. Prices have experienced no season of unusually wide or violent fluctuation, the changes varying with the relative current of sup ply* and demand, and the prices obtain able in Europe. New York has handled one-fifth of the crop. The prosperity of our Cotton Exchange is fully attested by its removal to the spacious quarters it now occupies. Speculation in cotton has, of course, been wholly controlled by cliques either in the “long” <jr “short ” interest. Tne natural consequence is that the members of the weaker interest have frequently been heavy losers, and occasional failures must necessarily have followed, but a year seldom passes with fewer failures, entailing serious losses upon the members of any commercial in terest, than have effected the cotton trade during the year just closed. In a certain church a contribution was to be taken. Having no boxes, the min ister's hat was borrowed. It was passed all around the church, and report says nothing was put in it. As the hat was returned to the pulpit, the minister looked into it, and seeing it empty, said: “ Well, brethren, I am very much obliged to you for returning my hat.” POLITICAL MEETING IN GLAS COCK. Nomination of a Candidate for the Legislature—Speech of the Rev. Jno. J. Hyman on His Taking Leave of the Chair. Editor a Chronicle <4- Sentinel : In pursuance to a previous call of the Democratic Club of the county, a large number assembled at the Court llouso on Saturday last, the Rev. John J. Hy man, Chairman. On motion of Dr. E. O. Scruggs, Da vid G. D. Allen was requested to act as Secretary of the meeting. On motion of Jndge William M. Kel ly, the candidate to represent the coun ty in the next Legislature was nomi nated by ballot. On motion of Dr. E. G. Scruggs, the candidate receiving the majority vote was to be declared the elected nominee to represent the county in the next Legislature. The following candidates were an nounced, by their request, by tho Chair man: Judge James M. Nunn, Dr. E. G. Scruggs, Dr. Joshua F. Usry and Abra ham Brassel, by proxy. On motion of Judge William M. Kel ly, the nomination for county officers was postponed until a future call. The Chairman appointed tho follow ing tellesmen in the election for a can didate to represent the county in the next Legislature: Judge Wm. M. Kelly and Judge Wiley G. Braddy. Dr. Joshua F. Usry was nominated upon the first ballot. On motion of Wm. J. Wilchcr, Esq., Dr. Joshua F. Usry was declared unani mously elected as the nominee to repre sent the county in the next Legislature. On motion of Dr. E. G. Scruggs, Judge James M. Nunn was unanimously elected Chairman of the Democratic Ex ecutive Committee. On motion of Judge Wm. M. Kelly, the Chairman appointed the associates of the newly elected Chairman, as fol lows: 1167th District—Seaborn Kitchens. 1168th District—Joshua F. Usry. 1169th District—E. G. Scruggs. 1234th District—Jordan S. Wilcher. Pending the meeting, the Rev. John J. Hyman, presiding Chairman, on va cating his seat, gave a brief but eloquent address to the meeting. Ho opened his remarks by paying a beautiful tribute to Georgia—that he loved her in the future as well as ho did in the past; also, tendering his many thanks to the members of the Democratip Club and citizens of the county for the many honors they had conferred upon him. He spoke of the dai'k cloud that had overshadowed onr political horizon in the last Presidential campaign, and while we, as a people of the State, were exercising some of the prominent princi ples of freedom, which were duo us as a political party, by our own unwearied la bors in the struggle for liberty, yet we had still a great battle to light, and that was the contest between Grant and Greeley. He considered it not an abandonment of principles, as some of the Straight-out Democrats did, to vote for Horace Greeley, but a more question of policy, and that a difference of opinion did not necessitate a change of principles. Ho urged tho Straight-out Democrats to abandon pre judice, to join in with their friends in the overthrow of tho Grant dynasty, and that they were not departing from “Jeffersonian doctrine” by casting their votes for Horace Greeley. As to Mr. Greeley’s betraying the Democratic party, in case of his election, he argued the improbability of the flame, by giving forcible illustrations to show that such would not occur, and, contending in au able manner that no President could conduct a government without a party. Greeley, he said, represented the Demo cratic party. Grant the old corrupt wing of the Republicans, which by party legislation had reduced our States to bankruptcy and were endeavoring to destroy the Government of our father. Mr. Hyman was well received and warmly applauded by our people. His reasons for supporting Greeley wore good, or tho best we have heard, and no doubt instrumental in strengthening liis support in our midst. At tho conclusion of the Rev. John J. Hyman’s speech, Dr. Joshua F. Usry, tho elected nominee for the Legislature, was called for, but declined speaking, as he was in extreme ill health, occasion ed by the heavy exposure in the practice of his profession; but said that he would address the people of the county upon the political issues of the day at any time in the future when called upon, if Iris health would permit. On motion of Dr. E. G. Scruggs, the proceedings of the meeting were ordered to bo published in tho Weekly Chroni cle & Sentinel and Constitutionalist, of Augusta, and the Warrenton Clipper. There being no further business, the mooting adjourned sine din. Rev. John J. Hyman, Chairman. David G. D. Ablex, Secretary. Tlio Cotton Interests of Augusta. Crawfordyille, Ga. , / September 10, 1872. j Editors Chronicle & Sentinel : From your paßt record, we beliovo that you arc willing to have general discus sion in your columns concerning mat ters pertaining to the interest of the people ; and your bold stand to uphold jijstipo and fair dealing to all classes of the people of the country deserves the highest praise. Every season, to a greater or less ex tent, complaints are heard on every side, amongst farmers aud country merchants, that your cotton factors knock off too much from tho original depot weights of cotton, and tho writer of this having been for several seasons shipping cotton to Augusta, and knowing from sad ex perience that there is frequently good cause for these complaints, desires now to call public attention to the matter. Every country merchant who buys cot ton, and many farmers who ship to Au gusta, know that frequently the factor takes off as much as fifteen pounds from a single bale, and in ono instance the writer knew forty pounds deducted from the weight of a bale, Os course there must sometimes boa loss of a few pounds, but ten to fifteen pounds is un reasonable with dry cotton, and wo pro test now, at the opening of the season, that wo expect factors to deal as fairly and liberally with farmers and merchants who entrust their cotton with them as they do with buyers. Country merchants who ship cotton to Augusta aro called upon to'iqok ipso this matter, and in vestigate ovary awn Pf ijnii»si}al Jflss, and if the factors of Augusta will’ persist in go unjust and pernicious a practice, let us seek for ourselves and our people other and better markets. Messrs. Editors, {hi® matter was a cause of grieyaupe to almost every farm er during the past season, and it js to be hoped that cotton factors will ho more careful in their weights aud give equal and exact justice to both seller am) buyer. Another cause of grievance now is the difference in price between Augusta aud New Y'ork. Augusta quotes middling cotton at 19c. and New York same grade at and yet it is well known that about a cent add ft Jialf will pay the ex pense of shipment to Stow y°ri r - With such a margin as this, would it pot be WgU for country merchants, and all others, Jj) consider the propriety of send ing tlicir cotton to New York, aud saving this profit tor Uiegmply.es ? Augusta is usually wide awake aiul fair dealing; let her display these quali ties now, and thus prevent every cause for grievance tod pomplaint. W, N, M. Payment of Cost of Advertisements in Advance, —We beg leave to call the attention of comity officers aud others interested to the following act passed by the last Legislature, entitled an act to require the payment of cost in certain cases; Section 1. Be It enacted by the Gen eral Assembly, That from and after the passage of this act no Sheriff or Deputy Sheriff in this State shall be required to advertise the property of any defendant in fi. fa. for side until the cost of such advertisement shall have been first pai l by the plaintiff in fi. fa., his agent or attorney ; provided, that when any such party plaintiff, or his agent or attorney for him, shall make and file an affidavit in writing, that owing to his poverty he is unable to pay sneh cost, then it shall be the duty of said Sheriff or his deputy to proceed as now required by law. Section 2 repeals conflicting laws. Approved August 24, 1872. The Texas Cotton Chop. —The Gal veston News publishes dispatches from eighteen of the most prominent points in that State with reference to the cot ton crop prospect, all of which are gloomy in the extreme. The News says, editorially, that these advices compel a reduction of at least twenty-five per cent, on previous estimates of the re ceipts at that point this season. It says “the drouth, which has affected the en tire cotton belt of this State, has dam aged the crop irreparably to the extent of at least one-fourth of the whole, and fully one-half in the most afflicted sec tions. The most conservative among the best informed merchants now admit that, where 300,000 bales was a moderate estimate a month ago, 275,000 bales is an extreme figure to venture ns the re ceipts at this port for 1872-73.” The Baltimore Darwinian who in a fit of rage killed his monkey is trying to 1 escape the gallows by apostatizing. TELEGRAPHIC SUMMARY, j Chicago, September 9.—A special dis patch from Sioux City says that part of the bond of Indians who were engaged in tlie fight with Major Baker’s forees, in Yellow Stone Valley, came into the Cheyenne agency a few days ago, and reported that the fight was very severe, and that the troops had lost heavily, over forty being killed and wounded, while tho Indian loss was only eleven. They report that Baker is so badly crippled that he is obliged to return to Fort Ellis without having accomplished tho object of bis expedition. Gen. Stan ley sent a detachment back to Fort Rice a few days since for supplies. They re port that just prior to their departure Sitting Bull sent in a flag of truce nnd asked for a parley' with Gen. Stanley, which was granted. At an interview Sitting Bull declared if Gen. Stanley did not turn back at onco ho would give him plenty of fight before he got back to Missouri river. It is estimated there are now in Yellow Stone Valley from 15,000 to 20,000 hos tile warriors, and serious trouble is ap prehended. Many of theso Indians are Cheyennes nnd Arapalioes from Platte Valley, with a large band of Ogallala and Sioux. Washington, September 10.—The War Department has received a dispatch from General Sheridan, dated Duluth, Minn., Btli instant, saying General Baker, after reaching the mountains of the Yellow Stone Valley, was obliged to come back on account of the surveying engineers deciding to go no further, for fear of the Indians, nnd therefore tho expedi tion is a failure. Salt Lake, September 10.—General Morrow returned from the South late last night. Troops remain at the scene of the Indian troubles. At a council with the hostile chiefs in San Pete county, the Indiaus positivelyjrofused to return to tlicir reservations. They said they had left because they were starving. They thought they might as well be killed by the soldiers. Their agents, tlioy said, were liars and tliievos. Gen eral Morrow notified them that they must return, promising to givo them food on tho way and full supplies at reservation. The chief finally consented, but said he would return to the valley if not fed. General Morrow reports a reign of terror in Sail Pete county. Tlio people wero wholly at the mercy of the savages, and the arrival of tho troops was hailed with tears of joy. If the Indians are now properly cared for at the reservation, there will bo no more trouble; if not, war mnst come. New York, September 10. —The Herald's Geneva special says tho state ment that only £3,000,000 will be award ed tlio United States has been officially declared to bo incorrect. Tho ar bitrators met yesterday to consider the form of the verdict. Both English and American agents were excluded from the meeting. Tho verdict is definitely against England for want of due diligence and good faith, but this will be expressed in mild terms.

Geneva, September 10.—Tho latest statement of the award is three and ono quarter millions sterling. Goldsboro, N. C., September 10. — The Carolina Messenger, of to-morrow, has tho following: “From the reports we have received from planters for sev eral days past, and from personal obser vation, we aro forced to the conclusion that the cotton crop in this section lias sustained serious injury in tho counties of Wayne, Duplin, Johnston, Edge combe, Lenoir, Wilson, Greeno, Pitt and Sampson. Tho drouth and rust have damaged the prospects very much, and the ravages of worms in many parts will still further reduce the crop. Wo havo before us reliable estimates of damages in various portions of the cotton grow ing counties, and as far as wo are capable of judging, consider tho pros pects at least 25 per cent, worse than was generally anticipated a month or two ago.” Washington, September 11.—An edi tion of the Paris Illustration paper lias boon soized for carricaturing tho Prus sians.
