From a private letter we make tlie J following extract, in vindication of the good people of Greensboro from the upendens of the Radical candidate for Congress from this District : “We were no less surpriesd than mortified to read in your excellent paper the letter of .Mr. P. Clayton, of this place. After all onr sufferings, there is something so cruelly selfish and unfeel-i ing in this invitation to the Government | to protract our oppressions by remand- j ing us to provincialism and terrorism, * t hat there must be surely some mistake j in the paternity of this cold and heartless j epistle. It is not credible that it could j have been penned by a son of Georgia. ' The dust of the noble race which sleeps in view of the room where these lines are penned forbids the thought. Some beggarly and mischievous carpet-bagger must liijve imposed <>n the Washington Chronicle. As to efligizing Mr. C., or insulting his family, there is often i na'procat snubbing in the social world, outside of polities. If States are to be rrcoriH/ruelrd and bayoneted on this ac count, our country is in a bad way.” SMALLPOX FOR ALL. When Mr. Lincoln was questioned in regard to some of the wittiesms at tributed to him he laughed and said : The papers make me smarter than I am; I have said none of these things with one exception, i diu say, when I had the small-pox, “ Now let the oftice-seek <;i s come, for at last I have something I can give to all of them.” What an extraordinary quantity of vims would have been necessary to in oculate the vast army of place-hunters. We hardly think that, had the entire body of “ Father Abr ham” been con verted into a single juicy pustule, there would have been enough to go round, and the consequence would have been a considerable amount of growling among the disappointed, if not a kicking out •if party traces and the running of an independent separate malady schedule, as illustrated in this Congressional Dis trict in the present campaign. If this sort, of imprudent rushing into danger is to be persisted in by men to whom the voice of the people has considerately whispered advice not to expose tbem iiclVos, as a dernier resort to reform what promises to be a serious blow to the public interest, we earamend the delegates to the next Democratic Con gressional Convention to bring with them a supply of old Abe’s pacificator, in order that they may have something with which to still the clamors of the malcontents. THE INAUGURAL EXEROSES OF TIIE MEDICAL COLLEGE OF GEORGIA. The session for the term 1872 73 of (lie Medical College of Georgia, was formally inaugurated yesterday in the presence of a large class of students, and a targe and appreciative audience, as sembled in the lecture room of the Col lege edifice in accordance with the or der of exercises usual on such occasions, and under the auspices of Hon. W. Hope Hull, President, and the Board of Trustees, and L. A. Dugas, M. D., Dean, and the Faculty of the institution. After an announcement that it had been the time honored custom of the institu tion to open the inaugural exercises by invoking a Divine Blessing, and at the request of the venerable Dean of the Faculty, the Rev. H. H. Parks, of the Methodist Church, offered up a solemn prayer "to Him in whom we live, and .•uove, and have our being,” ami who ••hath taught us to pray to Him as Our Fath.tr. ” Introduced by the Dean of the Facul ty, Professor l v D. Ford, M. P., L. L. D., then came forward and delivered the iu augural lecture, taking as his thesis ? •"Man, the Subject of Revolution and Progress ; considered in his relations to nature, and the highest effort of crea tive power in the universe, physically and spiritually.” At the expiration of the hour usually allotted for the lecture, a doubt modest ly expressed by the lecturer, lest he should commit tresspass upon the patience of his audience by con tinuing, drew forth a hearty round of applause, encouraging him to pro ceed; and we are sum that the close of the leeture, after nearly double the allotted time, was received with univer sal regret. Wo shall attempt neither a synopsis j nor a criticism of the eloquent lecturer’s essay. To do either were to do iujus- j .tioo injustice to the lofty thoughts and j comprehensive generalization which j found eloquent expression in winged j words of the sweetest resonance—in jus-1 tioo to the great philosophy taught his- j torioalJy and the deductions it fore shadows. Perhaps we may do uo injus tice to this-philosophic effort in attempt ing to throw the light from our dark j lantern, to catch the height of his great j argument, by pointing to man, fresh 1 from the hands of the Creator, the con summation of the creative powers of the . Doitv —retrograding, and involving in j this retrogression all things terrestrial, , until the Divine Incarnation; but pro gressing since the Advent, and ennobling ! all things in this progress, as disclosed ’ by history, s,acred and profane, and il- j lustrated by the achievements of sci-. •moo, and foreshadowing a still higher ■elevtAion. Wo have solicited a copy of this elo (pie,'»t lecture to lay before the readers of the I’HROxn i.k. being unwilling to put in print our oww notes. The Viva Voce System or Election. i —The frauds of false registration, re peating, personation, stuffing, etc., by j which the lYuusyUauia election was carried, have arousad the attention of politicians to the necessity el a new guanl to secure a fair election. llany who have heretofore steadily opposed . the viva voce system of voting now say j that it is the only effectual security against fraud. Judge Black, who has been chosen a member of the Pgnnsyl- j vania Constitutional Convention, 4e-1 dared in a recent conversation that oue 1 of its first duties will Vie to adopt new j securities for the purity and fairness of j the elections. He thinks that many of j ihe Republicans elected to the Conven- j lion are desirous of correcting the frauds | which all now confess were perpetrated the late election, bnt doubts whether they will co-operate with the Democrats as to the details of legislation necessary to secure a reform. He says that a fair eviction will instantly show that Penn- sylvania is a Democratic State. 0- ■■ A Hendersonville (N. C.) letter says five thousand people assembled there on the 25th ult., to witness the execution of Martin Baylard for the murder of Silas Weston and his three children, but he .escaped during the previous night in his -wife’s clothes. BEND UH THE ELECTION RETURNS. We ask the friends of the Chronicle and Henttnel in the Eighth Congres sional District to send in the official count of the election held yesterday, ; making use of freight, passenger and mail trains, and the telegraph, for this purpose, just as these agents may be at command. Our arrangements for ob taining the returns in Districts other than the Eighth are such as to insure the earliest official news of the result throughout the State. THE INCOME TAX TO BE REVISED. The well-informed Washington corres pondent of the New York Journal of Commerce states that during the recent i canvass in Ohio and Indiana the candi dates for Congress, “relying Upon the strength of the Administration,” with the design of securing the German vote, contracted to effect the repeal of the tax on lager beer, and in lieu of this tax to renew the income tax. The justification is found in the following argument used at a mass meeting by a candidate for Congress in Minnesota: “I find here, my friends,” said the Congressional can didate, holdiug up the report of the Commissioner of Internal Revenue — “that A. T. Stewart, a dry goods mer chant in New York city, paid more in come tax than was paid by the entire population of Minnesota. Why should we not favor an income tax? We don’t have to pay it.” Our Western fellow citizens have an effective mode of put tinginuse the argumentum ad homlnem. This was the argument which the Radi cals used when they enacted the cotton tax. The West is evidently making pro gress iu the study of Eastern political economy. THE RESULT. Indifference, apathy and a lack of high, commanding purpose in the hitherto recognized Democratic strong holds of the country, North, South, East and West have done their work. The vigilance, activity and corrupting agencies which have been invoked to the support of Grant, have achieved an al most unparalleled triumph and given him another four years’ lease of Presi dential power. Our dispatches leave no room to doubt the crushing defeat which we have experienced, and the certainty that Grant has been re-elected Presi dent by an overwhelming majority. Whatever may be the ultimate result of this verdict of the American people, there is nothing which needs to be re pented of on the part of any Southern Democrat who faithfully stood by his party in support of the only combina tion which afforded a reasonable promise of success in securing a change of ad ministration, and the constitutional re form of abuses specially onerous upon his own section. In the support of Greeley and the coalition platform upon which he was placed, South ern Democrats, ever taunted with disloyalty and treasonable purposes, have given to the world the highest proof of the sincerity of their attach ment to the preservation of the old landmarks of constitutional liberty. They have exhibited a patriotic, we might almost say an unparalleled sacri fice of all subordinate issues and senti ments to the one grand purpose of ar resting the centralizing tendencies of the Government as shaped by the un skilled hand of a military captain. That the overthrow of their cause should carry with it disappointment and mortification, is only evidence of the sincerity of their adhesion to the inau guration of a real peace across the “bloody chasm” of war, and an earnest desire for the weal of a common country. That their offer has been spurned by a startling numerical majority, is only another argument that Radical ism has well nigh consummated its unholy crusade in fettering a controlling power in the great commercial and money centres of the country to its cen tralizing chariot -a strength not to be broken except by something of the nature of a political earthquake, or the falling to pieces of its organization from tkeweightof its own rottenness. Turning from the contemplation of the gloom}’prospect in national politics, let us ding all the closer arouud our noble old State, ever ready to guard her sacred interests from lapsing into the hands of the spoilsmen and adventurer. Home JtunE in Ireland. —The World’s London correspondent says Earl Rus sell, formerly PrituJ Minister of Lug land, who is now upwards and 80 years of age, has addressed him a letter ?u con nection with a scheme which he proposes introducing at the coining session of Parliament for home rule in jgglftnd, and in which he says that he wishes to promote improvement and bring about Irish prosperity; but he fears that if an Irish Parliament is set up in Ireland her energies will be wasted in contention. He therefore wishes to divert forces tending to inflammability. He fears, however, that wisdom will be wanting both in England and Ireland. Has a Married Woman the Right to Practice Law ?—An exceedingly inter esting case is pending the decision of the United States Supreme Court : Mrs. Myra Bradwell vs. State of Illi nois. This case involves the question whether a married woman has a right under the Fourteenth Amendment to practice law. It is held that the clause thereof which says uo State shall pass any law which shall abridge the privi leges and immunities of citizens of the United States guarantees this right. This case will probably not be decided until the case of the Butcher’s Benevo lent Asssociation of New Orleaus is de cided, for the reason that this last case also involves the construction of the Fourteenth Amendment. The New Or leans case has been ones argued and is ordered to be reargued early >« Decem ber. The SrrREME Court and the Ku- Klux Law.— Among the most prominent and important eases before the United ! States Supreme Court, u°' v ' u session, is one held under adriaouaent—of Thos. Jefferson’ Greer, of South Carolina,, peti tioner, involving the constitutionality of the celebrated Ku-Klnx law of Congress. This case has been argued by Mr. Rev ►rdy Johnson for the petitioner, and the date ot iw decision is uncertain. It is not likely that judgment will be pro nounced before Jke December term. The Next House of Represent aha Ej.

Colored Men Haviss »#s Prefer ence.—lt is stated that there are imjr few' restaurants in New York attended by female waiters. In the new up-town restaurants, of which so many have been opened lately, tewftle waiters are never employed, preference being given to colored men. In San Francisco, on Saturday, Thos. Ana boro was fined SI,OOO for libeling Edith O’Gorman, the escaped nun. The demand for terriers of the Isle of Skye breed is increasing so much that a New York dealer has put up the price of them from S2O a piece to SSO, and finds purchasers at that. THE TEMPERANCE CAUSE. To the Christian Public. The undersigned, composing commit tees appointed severally by Stonewall and Bartow Divisions and the Grand Division, Sons of Temperance, of the State of Georgia, to address an appeal for co-operation and assistance to the ministers and members of the numer ous Christian churches of the State, beg leave, by these means, to present a few considerations on the great subject■ committed to them. It must be impressed, deeply and j painfully, upon the minds of all who have been interested in laboring for the I good of our fellow-men, that there is no occasion of evil so destructive, so 1 ruinous to all that is good and holy in our nature as intemperance. It would be difficult to find a Chris- i tiau, in this enlightened age, who does ; not, theoretically, advocate the prin- j ciple and the practice of temperance, j But by the use of intoxicating drinks, | iii the so-called temperate way, many ' of those who are commanded to be the j “light of the world” and the “salt of the earth” place themselves on the side j of the drinking customs of the day, and adversely to those who are engaged in earnest efforts to propagate the prin- ! ciples of total abstinence from the use, j as a beverage, of all “spirituous and malt liquors, wine and cider.” YVe believe tliat these principles afford | the only safeguard, alike for-those who have suffered from the terrible evils of intemperance and to the young in the formation of their habits. The drinking customs of social life— alas ! so rapidly increasing among our people—are sowing bitter seeds of ruin and death for the future ! It is a de claration of Divine truth, “they that sow the wind shall reap the whirlwind.” The pride and joy of many a family cir cle, from the influence of these customs, ; will be brought to the shame and misery of a drunkard’s life, the hopelessness and woe of a drunkard’s death, aud the destruction and wratli of a drunkard’s eternity! The work of our organization is but a part of your works as servants and fol lowers of Him who “went about doing good,” and we, associated with you in the greater work of giving the “glori ous gospel of the blessed God” to all the world, impressed with the actual necessity to our success of having you take hold with us, appeal in Christian love to you, that you will do so speedily, and share with us the toil and the joy of rolling back the fearful tide of intem perance from our beloved country. We are greatly encouraged by the suc cess that has attended the efforts we have made. Joy has been brought to the hearts of many a sorrowing family, deliverance from the fearful thraldom of drunkenness to hundreds of our fel low-men, and our benign influence is thrown around thousands of the youth of our land—our pride and our hope for the future. But we would enlarge our work and render it potent. May we not, then, successfully appeal to our pastors, ministers, officers and brethren of the churches to unite with us in some of our organizations, thus showing their approval of our principles, and giving new and irrepressible force to our work ? As members of the Order of Sons of Temperance, we believe the simplicity and impressiveness of our ceremonies, and the fact that only white persons are eligible to membership, adapt it admir ably and specially to the necessities and preferences of our people. Although it was not immediately con sidered in the appointment of the com mittee, yet we know that we utter the sentiment of those we represent, when we acknowledge for the press of this country an influence second only to' that to which xve appeal, and bespeak its power iu behalf of our u'ork.

W. A. CLASSIC BUSTS. The Mystery of Fine Busts Explained to a Basliliil Keportei —A Great Cali fornia Invention. (From the Han Francisco Chronicle.] lii this modern and artificial age, when ladies so love to stuff', pad, lace and twist the human form divine as to make it graceful, despite any little short comings of nature in the way of an im perfect figure, we are not astonished to hear daily of new patents and inventions for aiding the dressmaker iu her laudable efforts to improve nature’s handiwork. Believing that something new was needed to give additional prominence— contour, development, embonpoint, or what you will—to the female form, a modiste of this city has lately invented and patented a tiu bust. A Chronicle reporter sought the inventress at her manufacturing rooms. Climbing a flight of stairs, he rapped timidly at her door, for wliftt man does not feel a little shaky when about to explore the mysteries of the feminine toilet? A plqmp, bright looking little woman, with rosy t‘hepk s and a smile that bespoke good humored cuteness, opened the door and said : “W'ELL, sir?” Reporter Madam, lam a—l heard— excuse me—X that you are the inventress of a tin —a L}n b-b-b—that is, a tjn model for ladies, njaflaip. Modiste Yes, sir; patent tin busts. Do you wish to purchase one ? The reporter expl#ium hjs occupation, and informed the lady that fie bad mere ly called, thinking that some informa tion concerning the great invention would prove of interest to the lady readers of the Chronicle, “Oh, dear, so yon are reporter ? Well, 1 declare I don’t know whether I ought to show you my patent bust or not. You newspaper men—and especi ally the Chronicle men—are so saucy ; and then you are so cruelly sarcastic sometimes that really I am afraid of the Chronicle, though I TOpJ.d not do with out it for the world. Now, t hhn'tv you came up here to make fun of this bust of mine ; didn’t you ? Reporter No, madam ; I assure yon I came to write something in the cause of science and improvement. Modiste- Well, then, I s«ppos,e I must show it to you. Bo walk right in. in the lion’s den. The reporter turned as red as a beet as he entered a room where some come ly girls were busy cutting and sewing something. He took a seat, nearly miss j lng thetuah, and remained very ill at ■ ease while the retired into , another room to get the wopdeiiiu bust. I The girls cast mischievous glances at 1 him that made him feel like a cat in a 1 strange garret. Presently the inven tress returned, bearing in her hands a tin thing that resembled John McCul lough s breastplate when he does “Rieh ■ aid jlj . ' te-ln, placed it iu the report ! vr’s lap, which startled A?e &\* Smug gling again, and made him feel like rwo , strange cats in a garret. Modiste—You see this is just like the ; body of a lady. It is made of tin, and : we make them to any size. A HORRIBLE BLUNDER. Jh, norter —How in the world can a lady wear* out, phese stiff, uncomfortable | things ? Modiste —Why, dear me, they do not j wear them at aIL Tliey are dummies— ] models on which to fit dresses. At this point the girls screeched, and j the inventress had to quiet them by a j reprimand. Oh! I see; you only the P atter n on this—this bust. Modiste—Yes; it’s just like fitting a j \ dress on a live woman, you see, only it : doesn’t fidget like some of them. It’s . convenient. You can take it in your I lap whim fqn are fitting on the dress, j and yon can’t do tw with a live woman, ! you know. 1 ' The reporter blushed, and said he j rather thought not. Modiste—Of course not; it’s not a bit inconvenient to carry around, though it js so large. See here, I put my hat in it. It makes a splendid hat-box to put in yonr trunk while you are traveling— hat can’t get mashed a bit. We make them of all sizes and furnish patterns, wire-stand and everything complete, so that a lady can adjust her bust to the heighth of her figure, and make a dress fit exactly. Oh, it is extremely con venient, t assure you. If you are rich, AUGUSTA, GA., WEDNESDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 13, 1572. j and don’t want to bother with running ; to yonr dress-maker so often to get your | dress tried on to see how it’s being | made, why ally ou need to do is to get a bust and leave it at the dress-maker’s I with your order. Reporter—l see, madam. Very nice j arrangement. THE ECONOMY OF THE THING. Modiste.—Yes, and if you are only re- I spectable, and like to wear neat-fitting j dresses, but can’t afford to pay a dress maker twenty-five dollars for making i one, why you can get one of my patent I tin busts and cut and tit your own | dresses. Then, too, if you are a proses- I sioual dress-maker and wish to make a favorable display of your goods, these are the best things you can get. See there (laying her hand ou two very visible proturberanees .on the model) that just sets off a bodice or a sack charmingly. Reporter—Suppose that those who order these—ur-ah—these inventions.— are not—ur-ah—well developed, tall and straight ? Modiste—Oh,’ that’s the beauty of these busts. If the purchaser is not well-formed, we make the bust so any how ; and wlieu the dress is fitted to it and padded, it’s real graceful, I assure von. We never have auv trouble about that. A STJFPOSABLF. CASE. Reporter—ls a young lady should: purchase one of these, would she not : outgrow it and the dresses fitted to it , become too small ? Modiste—All that they have to do is ; to send it back and get it enlarged. If it’s a very fat woman and she grows j lean, we can make her tiu bust smaller. Here the reporter rose to go, express- : ing the belief that the madam’s great j invention would prove a success. He j was politely bowed out, and passed j down the stairs. When he reached the bottom he stood for a moment ponder ing on the deceits of the world, and of j the fickle fair in particular. Just as ; he stepped into the street he felt some- • thing strike him on the head, and heard a peal of silvery laughter from the ! window above. He picked up the soft ' missile with which lie had been struck. | It xvas a tot of cotton rolled in paper. j And this was the parting salute that the j tin bust girls gave the bashful Chronicle man. Editors Chronicle & Sentinel: The purchase of the Powder Works by the city is another important step taken in the direction of developing the manufacturing interests of Augusta. They now have a number of sites, suffi cient, 1 am informed, for the location of (400,000) four hundred thousand spin dles, enough to consume (8,000) eight thousand horse power of the water to be afforded by the canal. So far all is well. But ought not the City Council at once to take steps to expedite the move ment of capital in this direction? Here tofore it is only the nest that has-been made, and it is time now to put the hen that is to lay the golden eggs on it. Has this been thought of ? Are any steps being taken in this direction ? The responsibility here, as in all that has been done, is with the City Council, and unless they act promptly and effi ciently, years may elapse before the city receives any benefit from the enormous expenditures incurred. It is imperative that machinery be at once set in motion, to transport capital for utilizing the resources that have been developed here. For me, I do not doubt in the ultimate success of manu facturing iu Augusta, and I propose that the City Council without delay •of fer a commission of not less than (3) three per cent, for any one who will ne gotiate and caused to lie brought (from outside the city of Augusta and Rich mond county) and invested in the manu facture of cotton, wool, iron and other goods on the Augusta Canal, capital in sums of not less than six hundred thou sand dollars. The commission to be paid whenthe capital shall be so invested and proof furnished. The city can loose nothing by such action and very possibly realize, as soon as the canal is finished, handsome returns from water rents and indirect taxation. Tax Payer. The Great Western Canal. The Savannah Republican lias a letter in its issue of Friday, written from At lanta, with reference to the Great West ern Canal, which groups some facts of general interest and from which we ex tract as follows ; The project under consideration con templates a continuous line of water communication, natural and artificial, from St. Louis, in the State of Missouri, to Savannah, in the State of Georgia. The Mississippi, the Ohio, and the Ten nessee to Gunter’s Landing, including the canal around Muscle Shoals, now being constructed, form the upper por tion of the line. The company now or ganized in tfiis State, and whose work is the subject matter upder immediate con sideration, propose tp cpptinqe this line South, first by a canal frpm Gunt er’s Landing to the Coosa river to Gads den, in the State of Alabama, thence by said river eighty-seven miles to Rome, thence up the Etowah aud Little river to a poiut near Roswell, in Cobb coun ty, where it will cross the Chattahoo chee, thence via Atlanta to one of the tributaries of Ocmulgee—Yellow or South river. The Ocmulgee aud Alta maha will form the remainder of the line until a point shall be reached near est SayunnA, l — sa y ie m °utli of the Ohoopee—from which the canal will be continued to that city. The dis tance from St. Louis to Savannah by this route is about 1,300 miles. Such is the project. For a long time doubts were expressed as to its feasibility by intelligent and enterprising men, but they hfive been dispelled by recent prac tical surveys o£ flip most difficult por tions of the line, by a scientific commis sion organized by the' Goye|nnieut at Washington for that express duty. The official reports of tfie engineers, copies of which ha VC beep received here, will be presented to Congress at the approaching session. It definitely set tles the question of practicability, and, further, the utility aud profitableness of the work ‘as an investment, even at the immense expense required for construc tion. It is estimable that the portion of the line in the State of- Alabama will cost $0,000,000, and the portion in Georgia, so far as Macon, $20,000,000. It is expected that the Federal Govern ment will, under tfiff pv§r and harbor I act, put : th4 ’Gciniiigee iii a condition | for permanent navigation beyond' that | point. Os course it would be impossi | bfe to embrace details In a letter like ! this, which b jhfcmled to give simply j an ending of tge great .«* e j engineers, in their report, not oply iudi | cate the cost and character of the work, but they go further and furnish esti mates of its business when completed, and the cost of transportation as com pared with other routes from St, Louis to the Atlantic. These are highly favor able to the projected line, and, indeed, | gT>p }f a 'iuiffLfx grecedan co over all othera, now JiT Pt *irfi>t}cesß I of construction.

A MEXICAN CIRCUS. A Full Fledged Mexican Circus and a Drove of Wild Bulls iu Brooklyn. Our readers must have noticed for some days past a caravan passing through the streets, from the interior of which a brass band thunders forth strange melodies with much braying of brazen instruments, while Jjehiud the powerful wagon a squad of strangely clad horsemen gallop to and fro in single tile, wearing the serapes and huge som breros of the Mexican vaqnero or cattle bailsman. These men ride small, but vigorous and fleet mustang ponies, and are the most daring horsemen probably that have ever visited New. York city. Recently, at the Capitoline Grounds in Brooklyn, this Mexican circus company exhibited in presence of a small but select audience. Those who have read Mayne Reid’s highly sensational hunt ing novels may have formed some idea of what these hardy vaqueros of the de batable laud on the Texan add Mexican frontier can do iu the way of riding, with or without saddle. As it is, it is necessary to see the performance to understand it. There are nine horse men in the company, who have all been bred in Mexico and Texas from child hood, the principal of whom are named Thomas, an American-Mexican; Mo- j rosco, Carquiero, Kossuth and Leon. Thomas was tlie chief raftchero for President Benito Juarez, who had nine- j : ty farms in the sister Republic, aud he jis certainly one of the most expert j horsemen we have ever beheld. While ; dashing at headlong speed ou his fiery mustang he stooped, without stopping ' his speed, and picked up a white hand- j : kerchief from the grass. Leon then was ' the next to appear on the scene. A sav- 1 ’ age and enraged Texan bull was brought forth, and Leou successfully threw the lariat over his horns and brought him j up standing on his hind legs, although he made desperate efforts to gore the spectators, who ran wildly out of his j reach. Then Leou jumped ou his back, j rode him around the grounds to the bull’s | utter discomfiture, and all the while j smoked a Havana cigar with the greatest coolness possible. Carquiero threw a wild mustang a complete somerset by the tail while the latter was going at full speed —a most astonishing feat. Pour of the riders, while going at a speed that made tlie spectators dizzy, in the twinkling of an eye drew up in an even line, the mus tangs panting ami endeavoring to break loose from tlie inevitable grasp of their riders. A smart pony, with as many tricks in him as Ben Butler possesses, was lassoed by the riders and brought up standing.' Then there xvas a pony race to see; who should own the odd steer, as is customary with vaqueros in Mexico, and no such speed has ever been seen on a race track in America as was made in a spurt of three-quarters of a mile by these wonderful horsemen yesterday. It is a pity tliat these splendid horsemen and bull riders and bull tamers could not have an oppor tunity to exhibit at Jerome Park or at Prospect Park, where a large assem blage of both sexes might have an op portunity to witness their unexampled feats of horsemanship. As it is, they can remain but a few days at the Capi toline Grounds, as no other place could be found large enough for the exhibi tion. For grace, management of the horse, simpleness of riding and perfect agility in the saddle, or bareback riding, they are unequaled. Their saddles weigh sixty pounds and their stirrups are very clumsy, but they do not seem to mind their encumbrances whatever. A comical Irishman offered himself as a victim to be lassoed, and two horsemen galloped their mustangs at full speed after him, throwing their lassoes with he greatest Swiftness, but the Irishman, was too much for the Mexicans, as he ran all oyer the field in such a zigzag manner that the vaqueros were com pletely vanquished and the Irishman raised much laughter from the ovowd. It is a very dangerous thing, however, to do, as it might possibly result in a broken neck to the victim who is lassoed by the wild Mexicans. Altogether this exhibition iR the most novel one that has ever been offered to the New York public by any strangers in the circus line of business. [From W. C. Watts A Co’s. Circular.] British Consumption of Cotton. Up to the close of June last the aver age consumption in the United Kingdom from the beginning of this year was variously estimated at from 62,000 to 66,01 K) bales per week, but since that time estimates have been considerably reduced, in consequence of the small de liveries to the trade during the past three months. As hearing upon this point, and affording, we suppose, as cor rect an indication of the actual con sumption in this country as any calcu lation that can be made, we invite atten tion to the following facts : In June, 1870, itwas generally admitted that our spinners had reduced their stocks of cotton to very nearly a minimum point. The following month war between France and Germany was declared, and busi ness here and in Manchester was for a few weeks almost completely paralyzed ; and by the f tli Augusf they b a 4 Proba bly reduced [heir stopk to the lowest possible point. By OUT table we !W il k e them to have held tfiei) oiily dd.ooo bales, as against 100,000 at the close of the year. Now, it is on all hands ad mitted that two weeks ago our spinners had again run down their stocks of cot ton to a minimum point. This being so, we have only to determine the deliver ies during the 112 weeks intervening (August 4th, 1870, to September 26tli, 1872) to arrive at the consumption. The deliveries from tins port aud'London, as per figures of Broker's Circular aver age 61,288 bales per week, but put it down to round numbers at 61,00§, and the calculation is as follows : Consumption 112 weeks at 61,000 per week. .6,882,000 21 weeks in 1870 at 58,790 per week. 1,129, 596 52 weeks in 1871 at 50,000 per week. 8,114,800 30 weeks in 1872 at 66,840 per week. 2,588,610 —6,832,000 We have fieye assurped consumption for the last 31 weeks t>f Uj?(j, 'jhen war was progressing on the ‘Continent', at the average for the entire year as per brokers’ estimates, and have taken the brqkefs’ figures of couspmptiou last year. Reduced to pounds weight the 66,349 bales which appear to have been consumed in the 39 weeks of this year, only exceed the figures of last year about 3 per cent., which is just about equal to the increase in our exports of goods and yarns as shown in a preced ing table. Now, it may be the figures of consumption, as given in the above calculation, should be soTncrhst de creased for the fit) weeks irf thD'year, and correspondingly increased the in creased the preceding 73 weeks ; cer tain it is, they are rather larger than we had supposed, but the main point is the apparent average’ of ‘61,000 per week for ltHhisfo-*' ‘ ‘ 571 The following 13 from tfie circular of Messrs. Ellison, Tibbit A Cos., ot Liver pool: HOME CONSUMPTION. The deliveries to home consumers during the past forty weeks have amount ed to 2,382,000 bales, against 2,518,000 last vear, weighing 862.281.000 pounds against) jOq-pfijfibqqq pgupd*, [ufcaytqag,- welght Wing ‘ 3fi2 pounds p’erhme this year, against 399 pounds.

(for the whole year it was about 140,000,0001 b.) ; that in 1871 there was an increase of 25 per cent, over 1870, and in 1872 a decrease of 10 per cent, from 1871. The figures for last year shows an excess of about 90,- 000,00011. in production over consump tion. This excess would exist in the form of raw cotton, and would be equal to 100,000,000 ft. • or 250,000 bales of 399 ft. These figures explain the puzzle of the absence of any extensive resort to short time, notwithstanding the small de liveries to the trade for some months past. Consumption has not been seri ously reduced, because the trade had ample stock to fall back upon. Assum ing that spinners do not hold more than an average working stock, their con sumption during the past 53 weeks has been at the rate of 66,300 bales of 366 ft. per week, though only 55,350 bales of 438 ft.—the average weight of American. During the early part of the year we think that the consumption was pushed up to 25,000,0001 b. per week, or 68,000 bales of 3661 b. each. The pres ; ent rates of consumption is about 61,000 1 bales of 3661 b. or 51,370 bales of Arneri | can size. CONTINENTAL CONSUMPTION. ! The total import into the Continent 1 during the first forty weeks of the year, that is up to Friday last, amounted to 1,833,000 bales, of which 545,000 bales were received from Great Britain, and 1,288,000 direct from tlie various eoun : tries of growth. Os the latter figures 1,093,01)0 bales were imported into Ham -1 burg, Bremen, Amsterdam, Rotterdam, I Antwerp, Havre, Marseilles, Barcelona, i Gefloa and Trieste, 158,000 into Russia (89,000 American, 22,000 Surat and 47,- 000 Brazil), 19,000 (11,000 American and i BJOOO Brazil) into Spanish aild Portu guese ports, other than Barcelona, aud 18,000 East India into Italian ports, j other than Genoa. The stock at the j commencement of the year was 302,000 l bales, and on Friday last 546,000 bales, ! so that the deliveries were 1,589,000 j bales, or 39,725 bales per week. The actual average rate of consumption has | not been less than 45.0(H) bales per week, i so that Continental spinners hold about I 200,000 bales less than they did at the I beginning of the year. In our annual ! circular, published in January, we esti mated that Continental spinners held a surplus stock of 200,000 bales; this sur- 1 plus has now disappeared, and only a | bare working stock is held by con- j sumers. PROSPECTS. The prospects of the market are more than tisually dim and uncertain. The American crop estimates are smaller than those current a month ago, but the influence of this fact is neutralised by the exceedingly large arrivals at the ports. It is said that a portion of tlie crop is unusually early, and that this is the reason of the heavy arrivals; but the whole crop is reported to be much below an average and the receipts will, it is said, fall off rapidly at the opening of the new year. Consumers, however, will not believe in a yield of less than 3i millions until they see the arrivals at the ports diminish very rapidly. With a crop of 3; million bales, present prices for American on the spot will not be maintained, especially as the accounts from the cotton-growing districts of India, Egypt, and the Brazils are all ex ceedingly promising for a good yield; moreover, while the prospects of supply are moderately favorable the prospects of consumption are not very brilliant,owing to the unsettled state of the money market aud the high prices of fuel aud food. But, as we observed in our last issue, American cotton may very easily give way id. to Id. per lb, and fair Dhollera still be quoted 6fd. to 7d. per ft), for with Middling Uplands at 9d. Dhollera would still be relatively cheap at 6}d. to 7d. Proceedings of the Railroad Meeting to Extend the Goodrich Railroad. Stapleton's Store, Nov. 2, 1872. On motion of Mr. George F. Hudson, Major George Stapleton was called to the Chair to preside as President of the meeting, and Mr. John A. Lazenhy re questor} to act as Secretary, The object of the meeting was then stated by the President to be to extend the Goodrich Railroad from this point (Stapleton's Store), or some point near here, in as near a straight line as prac tical with the interests of the road, to intersect with the Central Railroad at Davisboro. The President then briefly explained the great benefits to result to the people and country from this road. Mr. John L. Goodrich next addressed the meeting, and stated the average cost of the road per mile, and probable as sistance to be received from the Georgia Railroad. The meeting was then addressed by Mr George F. Hudson on the interests of the people involved in the extention of this road ; and that he thought the people were ready to meet them with the necessary amount of greenbacks. The two following committees were then appointed by the Chair ; First Committee—George F. Hudson, P. Walden, George L. Cain. Second Committee—R. P. Little, L. J. C. D. Brown, David Aldred, Dr. J. F.

The Woodholl and Olaflin Libel Case.— New York, November 2. — A great deal of talk was occasioned about town this evening over the arrest of Woodliull and Olaflin. Proceedings against them were first taken by A. M. Cliallis, a well known broker, who, last night, applied for warrants for their ar rest for a gross, scandalous aqd ma licious article op hirg. These warrants were accordingly issped, but before they could be executed, someone, acting on beljalf of another libeled party, as it is said, and importing the aii} qf Co,in stock, the famous enemy tq ohscepe iit eratUl'e, lipd warrants issued against the women by Suited States Commissioner Osborn. Tiie affidavits in the case were made by Albert Anderson, post office clerk, a Mr. Woodly, of Brooklyn, and T. W.

Miles, who mailed the papers—were sent to the house of detention. The two were takeu to the Commissioner’s office in a car riage, thence to jail until Monday morn ing, when a hearing comes off.

Ground Pea Crop.— The Montgomery Advertiser says that a gentleman in that vicinity planted this year a half acre of land, which he considered too poor for any other crop, ip ground peas. It produced 20 bushels, for which he has been offered $2 50 per bushel. That is equivalent to a yield of SIOO per acre, which beats cotton “out of sight.” GEN. HAMPTON IN FREDERICK, MARYLAND. The False Education of the Times. The recent address of the great cavalry leader is full of grand and noble thoughts. • We give an extract on the subject of education, which in the address was prefatory to his plea for agricultural colleges, in which our youth should be ' educated to become practical and intel ligent farmers : Os the three pressing wants, the lack of proper education among our people, especially among the great body of our farmers and planters, it has been speci fied as the first aud most serious, lam not one of those who measure the virtue and intelligence of a people by their ability to read and to write. There is much truth as poetry in the aphorism : *• A little learning is a ilaugerous thing." The fatal mistake of the age, at least iu some portions of this country, springs from the prevalent belief that mere in tellectual training is of itself sufficient for all the purposes of this life, without that better education of the moral sense, which can alone teach man his duty to his neighbor and to his God. Iu the ceaseless aud unseemly struggle for place aud riches which is debauching the moral tone of so large a part of the population of this country, all true edu cation is neglected, and many young men are launched on the sea of life with J intellects sharpened at the expense of j all the higher faculties, which are left ! undeveloped aud uneducated. The wild pursuit of wealth us the only object of life—“tlie cursed greed of gold”—leaves no time for the proper training of heart and soul, and too much of what is false ly called education lias for its whole end to impart only such knowledge as will qualify its possessor to enter the mad I race for power, wealth and other mere : temporal blessings. The caustic words 1 of the Roman satirist, describing that | education which teaches that money is j the chief good, are sadly applicable to many of our youth, who are taught in the same school: “Make money; honestly if you can, but, if not honestly, make money by any means. ” It is this pernicious teaching that is making so many of the people lose their ancient aud hardy virtues, and it is against this abuse of all high and true education that I now protest, not against education itself. It is undoubtedly a good thing to know how to read and write, but tbe mere possession of these rudiments of education profits a man but little, unless his nobler faculties are directed ill the proper way ; and it is a mistake to suppose that because he can read aud write he is a better man or more intelligent citizen. The Atlieuiens, it may safely be assumed, (hough the great body of them were without these acquirements, were quite as well versed in literature, science, politics*aud tlie polite arts, as the people of New Eng land, whose boiist it is that their system of free schools has diff used education more generally among the people than in any other country; and the experience of every thinking man in the South will bear me out iu the assertion, that in all the elements which go to make up true manhood--honesty, truth, honor, faith, courage ami intelligence—onr own peo ple, all unlettered as many of them are, have proved themselves, iu war as in peace, at least the equals of those who pride themselves on their superior edu cation. But while these are facts which cannot be successfully controverted, it does not follow that a proper education, a development of the full powers of body, of lgiqd gud* or heart, should he neglected, and it is in behalf of this higher aud nobler education that I now appealj to you and through you to the people of the South. Further from the Railroad Collision— LOSS) $7,00(1. From a citizen of our city, who was on the train from Dalton which collided with the train from Selma, on the Selma, Romo and Dalton Railroad, we learn a few additional particulars of that die astrous occurrence. The collision took place on a level plane, and the trains were within one hundred yards of eacli other before danger of the collision was discovered. The conductor instantly placed double forces at the brakes, but within so short a space if was almost impossible tq iuyput the speed of the cars, and when the engines met it is es timated that the down train was travel ing at the rate of eighteen miles per hour, and the up train ten or twelve miles per hour. The engines drove into each other ; and the baggage-ear on the up train was “telesooped”bythe tender. One brakesman and the fireman on the up train were killed. The fireman was literally cut into three pieces, which were severally and separately picked up, and shipped to Covington, Ga., where his family lives. One of the engineers sus tained some injuries by jpgpjugfrom tlie train, and tl\e hfigga&e master on the down train was slightly hurt. A Indy in the sleeping ear on the down train re ceived some bruises in the face. It is estimated that the peculiar construction of the sleeping car saved theig aU Iroiu instpqt death. The coupling machinery was so arranged that the collision gave the oar a heavy baokward movement, and breaking loose, it rebounded ten feet, thereby placing it beyond the range of the terrible shock that would have crushed it. The loss, it is stated by tlie Supervi sor himself, will not exceed $7,000. This he considers quite insigpifteggi, deplor ing, above pv.qy.YVhiUfi vise, the loss of lisp. kdnme attaches mostly, it appears, to the Master Mechanic, who is respon sible for employing an engineer wholly unfamiliar with the schedules. - A tlanta Sun, 6th, Alsatians t >; Yikuinia. —The advance guard pi the large body of immigrants from Alsace and Lorraine, who are to settle in the neighborhood of Alexan dria, have reached that ci(\\ tpp} jp-qriviw engage*} in prospecting toy favorable sites wheropt fa settle.

Anderson, of Washington, Ga., exhibited at our recent Fair somo very remarkable ootton, which took n premium and certificate of merit; and though we spoke of it at the time, we think it deserves more than the short notice that the hurry of Fair week en abled ns to give it. This cotton was planted on the 15th of May, and by the 20th of October it was all open and picked ; the staple is long and silky and stronger and finer than any cotton brought to this market, and sold for a cent and an eighth over any other cotton—our merchants, without an ex ception, speaking of it in the «highest terms. The limbs of this cotton not averaging more than three inches long and hav ing less foliage tl ( ian other varieties, with the fact of its rapid maturing, makes it peculiarly adapted to rich bot tom land, where it may bo planted in three feet rows and ten inches apart in the drill, without danger of the bolls rotting or being caught by the frost. The bolls arc large—seventy-two of them weighing a full pound, and they grow out from the stalk and short branches, two, three and four at a place, more like ohesuut burs than any cot ton we ever saw before; and it has from four to ten locks of cotton to the boll.
