In a Brooklyn infant c!a“s there is a premium

A Chicago newspaper recently entered into a
calcnia'iou of the cost of wooden buildings. as
demonstrated by the tires at Streator. Chicago,
I Oshkosh, and lowa Falls, on July 11 and 14. It
r found that in these cities the wooden houses
that wore burned originally cost $350,000 to
build. Into thorn were put furniture, machine
ry. merchandise, and other articles of value,
and they were put in locations whore if they
burned they would destroy other and more
costly buildings. The result was a tire in each
of the four cities, and an aggregate loss of
$5,080,000, or over fourteen times the original
cost of the wooden structures. It places the
original investment in these houses in Chicago
at $150,000, and the loss there at $4,000,000.

black and tail terrier dog. which was scon to
run into the stable where the mare was located.
Mr. Walker drove it away, and although lie fol
lowed it. lost sight of it in one of the lanes of
the village. Half an hour afterwards the dog
returned to the stable and again snapped at
the marc, whereupon she kicked it. On the
2d instant the horse's lower lip became very
much swollen, and Mr. Sumner, veterinary
surgecu. having been called iu, treated it for a
disease known as the -straggle-.' On Monday
night, however, the animal became very vio
lent. and snapped and bit at everything within
her reach. Ultimately she exhibited all the
symptoms of hydrophobia. The veterinary
pronounced that she was suffering
from this disease, and consequently she was
shot.'
A correspondent of the London Tinu s. in a
letter received by the ia-t mail, says : "On a
moderate computation the mmiler of the Car
list troops in all Spain—in the Basque pro
voices. Navarre. Catalonia, and Valencia—can
not be less than 50,000 or 60.000. Spaniards
hostile to the Pretender, and in a position to
judge, have recently estimated his numbers at
60,000. Among these there may be a percen
tage of pres-ed men who care nothing for the
cause, still less for fighting: but the great ma
jority are volunteers in the true sense of the
word, who have their heart in the work, and
accordingly do it well. Your correspondents,
with National and Car list armies, lately bore
witness to this, and to the fact, also, that a
great many of the Republicans soldiers en
gaged on June 27 weie undersized lads, quite
unfit for the work given theta to do. The
mountaineers of the three Biscayan provinces
are as good fighting men as could easily be met
with, and the war has now lasted long enough
to convert them into second veterans—at least,
as compared with the almost raw lads brought
against them. Zabala and Monoues must do
their best jf they would avoid further dis
asters."
MANUFACTURES*
THE SOUTHERN CROSS COTTON
MILLS.
Formal Opening of the Factory—A
Pleasant Occasion.
About four months ago Messrs. Geo.
E. Rutcliffe & Cos., a well known firm of
this city, conceived the project of estab
lishing a yarn and cotton batting facto
ry in this city, and with characteristic
energy set about its accomplishment.
The co-operation of Mr. James Monacb,
a gentleman of extensive experience,
both at the North and South, in the
factory business, was enlisted and steps
taken to have the mills running as soon
as possible. The old pistol factory on
Marburv street was secured under a five
years’ lease, giving the lessees the privi
lege of purchasing the property at the
end of that time, and work was com
menced on the building so as to put it
in proper order far the reception of the
necessary machinery. A firm was form
ed, composed of G o. E. Rateliffe, Win.
If. Chew, Henry B. King arid James
Monacb, under the name and style of
James Monacb & Cos. While work was
progressing actively on the building
members of the firm went to the North
and purchased all the machinery of the
most improved description. The ma
chinery was sent forward as quickly as
possible and put in position. On last
Monday the spindles were put in mo
tion, and the manufacture of yarn and
carpet warp commenced. The batting
cards had already been in operation
some days, and quantities of the pro
duct shipped to Northern purchasers.
Yesterday the formal opening of the
factory, styled “The Southern Cross
Mills,” took place at half-past twelve
o’clock. A number of gentlemen were
present by invitation, representatives of
the city press and Mr. Harry C. King,
of Our Fireside Friend, of Chicago, (ic
ing among the number. After investi
gating some of the mysteries of “Na
poleon’s Cabinet,” and introducing some
substantial into the inner man, the
guests were asked to walk down to
the first story, where the whirr
of machinery and the flying par
ticles of cotton told their own tale.
The busy automaton workers, iron and
wood and steel formed into marvelous
specimens of human ingenuity, wood r- :
fu! agencies without brains, hummed i
and spun on all sides, aud devel
oped the great white staple of com
merce into the slender threats which
go to make up the garments of so
many thousands of human toilers.
Steadily and surely they sped, on while
the visitors passed slowly from one to :
another, gazing with eyes speaking com- j
mendation at the solid evidences of pro- j
gress. Words had merged into deeds ; j
what had been predicted on paper was j
evident in solid, working masses to the \
senses. Deft human fingers arrange 1 I
the threads, or bundled the fleecy bat
ting as we passed through, and the very
hum of the spindles seemed to say, j
“Work ! work on, that the world may j
prosper, and the genius of the nine- j
teenth century rise higher and higher.”
The apartment where the work of the j
establishment is carried on is large and ]
roomy. In this is located the machinery I
of the establishment, consisting of 992
spindles, six bolting cards and a lapper, j
the latter being partly screened off from I
the rest. The establishment can turn |
out 800 pounds of batting and 700!
pounds of yarn daily at present, and its
capacity will soon be increased. Both i
yarn and batting are of a superior
quality. A bundle of first-class North- J
ern y arn was compared with the product
of tho “Southern Cross,” the compari
son being decidedly in favor of the lat
ter, although the Northern was manu
factured from middling, and the
Augusta yarn from good ordinary
cotton.
The firm have §20,0110 invested in the
enterprise, and Will probably increase
their capital ere long. They find ready
market for all their products at remu
nerative prices. The mills are run by
water power furnished by the Augusta
Canal. Twenty-five operatives are at
present employed, all white people, and
natives of riiis section.
The gentlemen who compose the firm
are all men of energy, and know no such
word as fail. Their factory, which has
been so successfully established, is
bound to prosper in the future, and
reward most substantially the enterprise
and public spirit so signally displayed
by Messrs. Rateliffe, Chew, King and
Monacb. Long may they prosper.
After a full investigation of the ma
chinery the guests adjourned to the
“captain's office” up stairs, to take an
other look at “Napoleon’s Cabinet.”
From the attention which this article
received we formed the conclusion that
it was an exceedingly popular piece of
furniture. The many good things which
came out of that cabinet made it as
wonderful as tho whirring machinery
below.
Mr. Ja mes W. Davies proposed “The
Southern Cross Mills, an institution
bound to be successful when man
aged by a monacli and a king.” Drank
standing and in silence. The sentiment
was afterwards responded to by Mr. H.
R. King, in appropriate remarks.
Mr. Rateliffe proposed the health of
the President of the Georgia Railroad,
lion. Jno. P. King. Judge King, in re
sponse, said lie was glad to see man
ufacturing enterprises on the increase.
Several other toasts were given and
responded to, after which the guests ad
journed with the conviction that the
opening of the Southern Cross Mills had
been one of the most pleasant occasions
of their lives.
COTTON.
The Business of the Past Week.
Tho Augusta cotton market during
the past commercial week lias ruled
quiet and dull, with unchanged quota
tions.
The total receipts for the week were
188 bales, a decrease of 686 bales when
compared with the same week last year.
The sales were 682 bales, a decrease of
21, compared with the same week last
year. The receipts the present season
to dato foot up 198,729 bales, against
178,625 to August Ist, 1873. The re
ceipts of 1872-73 exceeded those of
1871-72 to this date 35,223 bales. The
shipments during the week were 732
bales ; same week last year, 918 bales.
Estimated stock on hand, 6,940 bales.
Tuf, Crops. —From a number of let
ters received yesterday by a mercantile
firm of this city we gather the follow
ing items in regard to the gowing crops:
Buford, Ga.—Cotton average of
former years. Good results expected.
Rome.—Cotton generally late, but
now iu fine condition and growing well.
Ridge, S. C.—Prospect good.
Milledgeville.—Crops splendid. Corn
crop larger aud more promising than
since the war. Cotton, though late,
promises a large yield.
Culvorton.—Cotton and corn general
ly fine.
' Eaton ton.—Crops never better. Com
plaints of rust, but nothing serious.
Deveraux.—Cotton weed large, bat
not well fruited. Corn good. Some
complaint of the cotton fly.
Thomson.—Cotton young, but looks
well. Cora spotted and cut off by
drouth.
Flowery Branch.—Corn extra fine.
Cotton bids fair to be the best of any
preceding year.
Conyers.—Crops generally fine. Large
crop of cotton and ecru will be made.
The foil wing comes l>y telegraph
from Memphis :
Memphis, Tenn., July 24.—The Com
mittee on Information and Statistics of
the Cotton Exchange made a report de
rived from 84 responses from West Ten
nessee, 82 from North Mississippi, 84
from Arkausas, north of the Arkansas j
river; and 15 from North Alabama, of i
the average date of July 15, as follows :
Os 2t15 responses, 108 report favorable
weather since the 15th ultimo ; 157 re
port toil dry, and 1 too wet ; 1,071 re
port more favorable weather to date j
than the corresponding date of last year;
2, per cent, of the cotton planted lias
been abandoned from drouth and over
flow ; 42 per cent, of the crop was
planted early. Os the earlyplantiug 170
report better stands than last year, and
05 report not so good. Os the late
planting, 105 report better stands, and
100 not so good. Os early planting 200
report the crop well forward and boiled.
Late planting, 140 report favorably. On
labor, 100 leport the labor working well,
and 100 moderately well to bad. Os
early planting, HI report a better con
ditional crop than last year, 52 as well,
53 not so gdbd. Os late planting, 102
report better, 74 as well, and 90 not so
good.
Responses to the general condition of
the crop indicate it has been better cul
tivated than for years, but that it is
suffering materially from drouth ; an
ticipates danger from frost upon so late
a crop, with slight indications of rust
and blight. Twenty-nine per cent, of the
crop planted did not come up before
June I. Nineteen and three-quarters
per eect. was planted after the 20th of
May. Eighty-six report good corn crops,
88 fair, aud Ik' inferior. One hundred
and forty-one report good wheat crops,
81 moderate to poor. Fifty-seven re
: port good oat crops, 174 moderate to
poor. Grasses generally are poor, owing
to drouth.
Another New Bale,—A dispatch re
ceived by the Augusta Exchange yester
day announced that one bale of cotton,
new crop, was received in New York
yesterday fr qn Texas, and was sold at
"auction, in front of the New York Cot
ton Exchance, at 21 cents. It was class
ed low middling.

THE BEECHER SCANDAL STILL.
Woodhnll Not Allowed a Hearing.
New York, July 31.—The Beecher
Investigating Committee sat till mid
night. Nothing is known of the pro
ceedings, except that the proffer of tes
timony by Victoria C. Woodhnll, who
rode to the door in a carriaee, was re
jected. It is supposed Mrs. Tilton was
again examined. At the conclusion of
the sitting a lady closely veiled was
escorted by a member of the committee
to Mr. Ovington's house.
Beecher to Mrs. Tilton.
New York, August I.—The Brooklyn
Eagle, publishes a remarkable letter,
which, it says, was addressed to Mrs.
Tilton by Mr. Beecher immediately after
the publication of the Woodbull slan
ders. The Eagle says of the letter: “It
comes to ns from a friend of Mrs. Tilton,
and the authenticity of it has been de
monstrated to us in a most conclusive
manner by an opportunity to inspect the
original, which Mrs Tilton entrusted
for a few hours to her friend without
knowing what use was to be made of it,
but authorizing him to make any use of
it which would serve truth and justice.”
The following is the letter in full:
Mg Dear Mrs. Tilton :
I hoped that you would be shielded
from the knowledge of the great wrong
that has been done to you, and through
von to universal womanhood. I can
hardly bear to speak of it or allude to a
matter than which nothing can be im
agined more painful to a pure and woman
ly nature. I pray daily for you, that your
faith fail not. You, yourself,know the way
aud power of prayer. God lias been your
refuge in many sorrows before. He
will now hide you in His pavilion until
the storm be over. The rain that beats
down the flower to the earth will pass at
length, and the stem bent but not
broken will rise again and blossom as
before. Every pure woman on earth
will feel that this wanton and unpro
voked assault is aimed at you, but
reaches to universal womanhood. In the
meantimevourdear children will love you
with double tenderness, and Theodore,
against whom these shafts are hurled,
will hide you in his heart of hearts.
I am glad that this revelation from the
pit has given him sight of danger that
was before hidden by specious appear
ances aud promises of usefulness. May
God keep him in courage in the arduous
struggle which he wages against adver
sity aud bring him out, though much
tried, like gold seven times fired. I
have not spoken of myself. No word could
express the sharpness and depth of my
sorrow in your behalf, my dear and
honored friend. God walks in the fire by
the side of those he loves, and in Heaven
neither you nor Theodore nor I shall
regret discipline, how hard so ever it
may seem now. May He restrain and
turn those poor creatures who have been
giyeu over to do all this sorrowful harm
to those who have deserved no such
treatment at their hands. I commend
jou to my mother’s God, my dear
friend. May His smile bring light in
darkness, and His love be a perpetual
Summer to you. Very truly, yours,
(Signed) Henry Ward Beecher.
Mrs. Tilton Before the Committee.
New York, August I.—The Brooklyn
Ragle states that Mrs. Tilton, iu her ex
amination before the committee last
night, said that when Tilton brought
the Woodhulls to their home she tried
to induce them to leave, but they would
not go until she sent for the police to
eject them. Referring to the night when
Susan Anthony was there, she said it
was a scene of great violence and ex
citement. She said she never saw Theo
dore so crazed as he was that night.
Miss Anthony slept with her, aud
made very free reference to the stories
in circulation about Theodore’s life.
She said most solemnly that it was not
true that she made any confession to
Susan Anthony of any improper act on
her part. All she said to her on that
subject was that Theodore was circu
lating stories, and had been so doing
for a long time, to her prejudice and that
of Mr. Beecher. She had not a thought
of saying that there was a word of truth
in it. There was no truth in that state
ment; it xvas entirely false. She does
not believe that Susan Anthony would
say that she ever gave her a hint in that
direction. Mrs. Tilton was asked
if she ever, of her own notion, wrote a
word either in a letter or statement
affecting improperly herself or Mr.
Beecher, she answered that she never
had. That the most she ever did was to
copy papers that Theodore had prepared
for her. Some times she did not even
know the contents of the papers.
LETTER FROM JACKSON COUNTY.
Tlie Crops in Oglethorpe, Clark aud
Jackson —Commencement Exercises
at tlie Martin Institute—Hon. B. 11.
Hill Makes a Speech.
Lexington, Ga., July 25, 1874.
Editors Chronicle and Sentinel:
Having just returned from the Com
mencement at the Martin Institute, Jef
ferson, Ga., perhaps a few lines will not
be uninteresting to your many readers.
We left Crawford on Monday, 6th, and
arrived at Jefferson Tuesday, 7th, pass
ing through a part of Oglethorpe, Clark
and Jackson counties. Crops lo k rather
small after leaving Frank Pope’s, in
Oglethorpe county, to Jefferson. I think
that the cotton crop will he much smaller
this year than last, while more corn will
be made this than last.
We found everything alive in Jeffer
son. Everybody had the one idea—
Commencement week. Going up to the
Institute, we found Professors Glenn
and Orr busily engaged in the examina
tion of the different classes, the stu
dents evincing a thoroughness that made
the vast crowd present feel that their
teachers had discharged their duty. It
was gratifying, indeed, to see with
what ease tlie young Indies and gentle
men would demonstrate geometry and
translate the difficult passages of Virgil,
Horace aud Homer. The examination
was a complete success in every depart
ment. After the examination came the
reading of compositions Tuesday night
by six young ladies. Their subjects were
well selected and handled in a manner
that reflected great credit upon teacher
and pupil. Then came the concert by
Miss Burch’s music class, which was
gotten up “in style” and detracted noth
ing from Miss Burch’s reputation as a
music teacher. On Wednesday came
the graduating class with their compo
sitions—showing that Martin Institute
would send forth some young ladies
that would be an honor to their State
and Alma Mater—not educated in the
sickly sentimentalities of the day, but
in the real duties of life. Wednesday
night the Sophomore prize deelaimers
spoke. They all did well, judging from
the many cheers and rapping of canes on
the floor. Thursday the original
speeches were delivered. The young
men had used great taste in the selec
tion of their subjects and greater in
their diction. After which the Hon. B.
H. Hill made n thrilling and patriotic
speech of an hour and a quarter in his
his usual eloquent way.
Everybody was wonderfully pleased |
with the commencement at the Martin !
Institute. When the time came to leave, :
all with a sigh said vale, I especially.

CROPS IN NORTHEAST GEORGIA.
Jefferson, Jackson County, Ga., i
J uly 25, 1874. \
To the Editors of the Chronicle and Sen
tinel :
The wheat crop of Northeast Georgia
has proved to be good. It is now gen
erally threshed and garnered. The area
sown was larger than usual, and the
stand being good and the grain being
plump and full, the yield is, of course,
above an average. The oat crop is also
housed safely, but does not oceupy
mucli space, the May drouth having
nearly ruined it. More corn was plant
ed this year than last year, but it was
generally put in very Lite, and although
somewhat promising now, yet very little
of it will be matured before the first of
September. If, therefore, the seasons
should prove favorable during the month
of August, the corn crop will be large;
but if August should prove dry, the
crop will be short.
The area in cotton is at least twentv
per cent, less than it was last year, anil
the amouut of fertilizers used "this vear
is fully fifty per cent, less than the quan
tity employed last year; aud the weed
is two or three weeks later than
it was at this season last year; hence
the crop must be considerably short
er than last vear’s yield. The
weed, though small, is now doing well;
but so much depends upon the seasons
and other circumstances during the
mouths of August and September that
no very sure estimate of the crop can now
be made. One thing, however, may be
considered settled, even now, to-wit:
the crop cannot be as large in Northeast
Georgia as it was last year and the year
before. The most favorable seasons
cannot possibly produce a larger crop.
For six weeks past the rains have been
partial, some places having rather too
much rain while other places were left
with too little. This immediate vicinity
has not been blessed with more than one
soaking rain since the 12th of June, al
though very light showers have oc
casionally fallen. Those persons who
are predicting a very large crop of cotton
are certainly wide of the mark aud are
doing incalculable mischief. A short
cotton crop and short prices, on the back
of last year's panic, will uearly rain the
whole country. More anon.

The announcement of the postponement

which will be accepted without question
by every one. The management in this

satisfied of the necessity of this post
ponement, have promptly made the an
nouncement. It is unnecessary to re
view the causes which have necessitated
this action, as they are fully recited in
Governor Bramlette’s card. The prompt
ness and frankness with which the pub
lic have been made aware of the inten
tion of the manager will meet with the
hearty commendation of every one aud
excite such anew interest and confidence
iu the scheme and the ability of the
manager to perform what he promises,
that there can be no doubt that on the
day specified the last concert will be a
full one.
postponement last gift concert— A
CARD TO THE PUBLIC.
The announcement of the postpone
ment of the fifth and last concert of the
Public Library of Kentucky to the 30th
November, I am satisfied will surprise
few and disappoint none of the friends
and patrons of the enterprise. Indeed,
any other course would create dissatis
faction. With a precedent of a post
ponement of each of the four concerts
which have already been given, the pub
lic have very naturally and reasonably
expected that in this, by far the largest
scheme of the series and the largest ever
offered to the world, the same course
would be followed, and there are thou
sands all over the couutry who are onlv
waiting for the setting of a certain fixed
day for the drawing before sending in
their orders. The sales of tickets to this
date have been highly satisfactory, and
a large drawing might be had on the
31st July, but, feeling assured that a
short postponement would enable us to
close out the remainder of the tickets
and make the drawing a full one, we
have adopted the course which has evi
dently been anticipated, and which must
eventuate most satisfactorily for all.
Now that the day of the drawing is
absolutely dt termined, there remains no
further occasion for delay, and I would
urge the friends of the enterprise, who
intend to purchase tickets, to send in
their orders, as it will tax my office to its
utmost capacity to accomplish all that is
to be done in the short time which re
mains for the sale of tickets.
Thos. E. Bramlette,
Agent aud Manager.
We are sure our readers will thank us
for calling their attention to the very
handsome advertisement of the Excel
sior Manufacturing Company of St.
Louis, as it would be useless for us to
try to say anything in favor of the great
Charter Oak Cooking Stove. The very
word suggests the thought of a well
cooked meal, followed by easy diges
tion, vigorous health, with a desire to
have plenty of real work, to say nothing
of the comfort of a happy, contented
household. au4-d&w
Common Sense.—Our bodies need re
pairing and strengthening as much as
the houses we live in. Constant use
gradually wears them out, and we must
renew them when they exhibit signs of
decay. In Dr. Tint’s Liver Pills the
dyspeptic, the bilious, the debilitated
aud the nervous will find the most genial
restorative ever offered to suffering hu
manity.
Dr. Tutt’s Sarsaparilla and Queen’s
Delight.—Under the influence of this
compound the eye grows clear and spark
ling, the complexion like pearl ; un
sightly blotches, pock marks, worms in
the flesh, pimples and roughness of the
skin disappear aud the entire human
organization grows redolent with health.

A STANDARD ARTICLE EVERY
WHERE.
IT IS A LONG WAY FROM THE AT
LANTIC to the Pacific, and from Maine to the
Gulf of Mexico, hut in all the vast area lying
within those boundaries there is not a city, a
town, village, settlement or camp where Hos
tetler’s Stomach Bitters is not well known and
in great demand. It is the great household
medicine of the American people, and is taken
everywhere as a safeguard against epidemics
and endemics, as a remedy for dyspepsia,
biliousness aud irregularities of the bowels, aH
a cure for chills and fever and rheumatic ail
ments, as a sedative in nervous cases, as a
wholesome exhilarant in hypochondria, and as
a general invigorant and restorative. To the
weak and drooping its imparts strength and
vitality, bracing the relaxed nerves and rousing
all the latent energies of the system. For
twenty years it has been tlie standard tonic
and corrective of the Western world.

OBITUARY.
Died, at liis residence in Columbia county, on
the 22d July, 1874, Major Moody Burt, in the
64th year of his age. Os him could be truly
said, no man rejoiceth at his death, for he. hail
followed through the course of a long and use
ful life, as near as we poor mortals can. our
Saviour’s injunction. “ Therefore all things
whatsoever ye would that men should do to
you, do ye even so to them.” Debarred by his
age from taking an active part in the late war,
liis means was dispensed with a lavish hand,
both to a-sist tho sqldier in the field, aud—
more to his honor, though for which he re
ceived no praise—to the wifo and littlo ones at
home—no hungry soldier was turned unfed
from his door, no importunate beggar sued in
vain. He has represented our county in the
halcyon days of the past, when our intellectual
giants met in the political arena at Milledge
ville, to the proud satisfaction of his constitu
ents. A void is loft in this District that we
feel cannot be filled. One of Nature’s noble
men has indeed fallen. Though no professed
Christian, yet his actions were more in conso
nance with the Divine precepts than many of
the shepherds of the present day; and aH
charity covereth a multitude of sins, his be
reaved wife must have the fond consolation of
feeling that he is among the elect who sittetli
at (he right hand of God, the Father Almighty.
From one who loved him as he was, and not
for what he had been.

PRODUCE REVIEW.
The scarcity of money and tho dullness of
the cotton market seriously retards business in
every department. Notwithstanding this, how
ever. the business transacted during the past
week is considered fair for the season. Prices
generally are ruling about the same as at our
last report, except for Bacon. Bulk Meats and
Grain. With light stock, these articles are in
considerable demand, and are held firmly at
full and advancing figures. In »ur price list
will be found correct quotations of the loading
