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. doing hack to the great Chicago tiro of 1871. when the loss was over #170,000,000, our con temporary says that $2,000,000 would have bought and paid for talcing down every wooden building burned in (hat tire.

Liverpool, near Dewsbury On the 16th of last May. a marc, the property of I'd ward Walker, fanner, was bitten by a small 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.

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.

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. Grandy. 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. J ACKSON. Mr. N. F.

Local and Business Notices. The Last Gift Concert Postponed.— The announcement of the postponement of the last gift concert of the Public Li brary of Kentucky will not surprise the public. In Governor Bramlette’s card, pnblished below, he gives reasons for it which will be accepted without question by every one. The management in this instance, consulting the interests of ticket holders aud those designing to bee ime ticket holders, have not waited until the last day tetmakethis announce ment, but, just as soon as they became 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.

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. -■-* Special IV otices. SETTLED BEYOND A DOUBT.
