Tus “Houthern Cross Cotton Mill," at
Augusts, (la., commenced active opera
tions last week. Augusta is now fast
catching up with us, and Columbus must
"keep the ball in motion" if she expects
to maintain tho lead in cotton manufac
turing. We ought to have another mill
or two within the next twelve months.
We lose our main advantage in the lost
wator power of tho Chattahoochee.
The Democratio press of Alabama give
au enthusiastio support to theHtato ticket
nominated by tho late convention at
Montgomery. Tho party is united, and
the white |>eople of the Htate very nearly
so, in sustaining it. Thoro is nothing
but apathy or over-confidence to be foar-
ed, and tho issues uro so important, and
come so directly homo to the peoplo in
their social life, that they can hardly be
inautivo or iudill'eront this year. Wo foel
confident that tho Waterloo of Alabama
Radicalism is approaching.
The Atlanta Constitution says the tax
act of this yonr authorizes tho Governor,
with the assistance of the Comptroller
Geuoral, to ossoss and lovy such a per
contago on the taxable property of the
Htate ns will produoe tho sum of one mil
lion dollars, exclusive of spocific taxes,
providod it does not oxcood four tenths
of ono per cent. It has, therefore, boon
ordered, after approximating as noarly os
practicable tho amount in value of all prop
erty in the Htnte subject to taxation, as
exhibited in tho tax digests, that such per
contugo ml valorem be assessed and col-
1 octod upon tho smite. Also that one-
half of one-tenth of one per cent, (five
ceuts on every $100) bo assessed and col-
looted as tihovo, to moot tho principal nud
interest of the first installment of what
are known ns the "Nutting bonds.”
VicKsiiun<».—Tho result of tho oleotion
discloses the secret of the Radical solici
tude to huvo Federal troops sent to Vicks
burg. Thoy knew that they wore going
to bo beaten, in a fair vote, at tho munic
ipal elootiou, und that was the sole dan
ger they wore trying to avert. Had tho
President sent the troops, and had the
uogroes, thus backed, been able to crowd
tho whites from the polls or dishearten
them, they would have carried their
point, and the rosnlt would have been an
nounced to tho country ns the fair effect
of protecting the polls from violence or
fraud. Rut no troops were sent, no
violence or intimidation was rosortod to,
and the Radicals wore badly beaten. The
troops wero not needed -that is now a
Bottled fact; but Radical votes wore sadly
needed, and poor Amos did uot dare to
interfere with his troops to reverse what
ho knew was to bo tho result of a fair
election. Tho rebufl's which ho, and Davis
of Texas, and Hrooks of Arkansas, have
lately recoived from Washington ought to
satisfy tho Radical party of the Houth
that they are now oxpeoted to sustain
thomselves, as their political associates of
the North cannot afford to do it auy long
er in the manner heretofore followed.
THE THIRD TEBX.
We have already stated the faot that
Gov. Hrnith bad donied the oorreotness of
the "interview" in which he was reported
as favoriug a third term for Gen. Grant.
Tho iuterviewer himself ("H. V. R." of
the Cincinnati Commercial) has acknowl
edged the incorrectness of his report,
saying: "I wrote the letter hastily and
did uot have time to revise it, and come
to read it, I fear i have misrepresented
Governor Smith, which I rogrot, and tako
the first opportunity to correct. Ho did
not commit himself to a "third term for
Grant" as unqualifiedly as a sentence or
two iu my letter would Roern to indicate.
He said that as between Grant aud a
more Radical enemy of tho Houth, tho
Houthern people would bo for tho lossor
of two evils, and that they had no objec
tion to u third term."
We have no doubt that the interviewer
Los got it about right this time. It is
manifestly too soon for the Houthern peo
plo to take a decided stand on the ques
tion of Grant’s third term. The battle on
this question has first to be fought be
tween Grunt uud the Radical party. When
they shall have taken their sides respec
tively—or it may be they will tako the
same position—it will be time enough for
tho Demoorats, especially the Houthern
Democrats, to say what thoy propose to
do in the mattor. Masterly inactivity aud
au armed neutrality ure now clearly our
truo policy.

THR UROWLINU REASON.
When you aud I were boys and had an
idea that time was divided, very judi
ciously, by some old boy in ages past, in
to periods for games, we measured the
season* iu a very different wey from the
almanac makers. Iostoad of the stsle
round of spring, summer, autumn and
winter, we bad kites, marbles, swimming,
mumble-peg and nutting, with delightful
variations of the games, spiced by torn
pants that needed half-soling, and bloody
noses that horrified our good mothers,
and which, unlike George Washington,
wo did uot hesitate to attribute to an ac
cident, instead of the fiete of young John
Huiitb, the next neighbor's son. Of
course wo are gettiug old and have given
up childish games, still we have not
adopted tho theoretical seasons of the
almauac makers. In spring the merohant
shakos his head at the prospect of a dull
summer, and the fact that his books are
filled with the records of uncertain debts,
and bis memoranda with the reminders of
notes filling due. He duos not feel hip
py; indeed, the average merohant gets
bilious in the spring, and his doctor looks
at his tongue, aud blue masts and seltzers
him in good allopathic style; but the doc
tor, good man, ought to cousider the mer
chant's accounts, and not his liver. In
summer the merchant refloota the feelings
of his customers, and plays a dull, uncer
tain game, in which he has but little heart,
for be is praying for the fall, aa a boy,
weary of swimming in the brickyard pond,
yearns for kites. After all, the farmer
gives toue to the fowling*, hopes and de
pressions of every agricultural commu
nity; but the feelings of n fanner
aud bis wants are things past finding out.
It would ho impossible to find two whose
wunts exactly agree. It is recorded that
Jupitor, at one time, was induced to give
a whole day to listening to the preyers of
farmers. Ho be told Hermes to tote out
his pipe and make him a few hogsheads
of iced julep, not t4>o strong in water, but
powerful iu the other ingredionts. Then
Jupiter lit his mighty calumet—it was
about tho size of Mount Vesuvius, con
tained a thousand tons of "Lone Jack"—
and ho inhaled the smoke through a stem
as thick as one of the great trees in Gala*
veras, California. After taking a harrol
or two of julep, by way of a snifter, be
told Juno to go out and attend
to the buttons on bis lost Bun-
day’s shirt, "for,” said he, “I'm going to
havo a deuce of a timet" "What is it
my love?" asked the inquisitive Juno.
J upitor was ubout to throw his slipper at
her and order her to "git,"but he checked
his wrath aud replied, "It is none of your
busiuoss, Mrs. J., but if you lift up this
trap-door beside the throne you can havo
your oonfouuded curiosity gratified."
Juno obeyed her lord aud master, but the
moment sho lifted tho trap she fled,
screaming with fear, from Jupe's pres
ence, for the prayers of the farmers came
up like the olamor of a million of men,
with a million of antagonistic wants.
Jupiter took auother swallow and yelled
down to earth, "What the duoco do you
fellows want." "Rain!" "A dry spell!"
Kill tho locusts!" "Rain for my
wheat!" "Dry weather for my hayl"
"Clouds for my silk!" "Hunshine
for my vines!" aud so on in
loud interminable bablo the prayers
of the farmers rose. Jupiter only kept
his patience by swallowing julep, and
knnwing his pipe stem ; but after hours
of listening bo got blazing mad and
shouted out to Hermes, "Come hither my
heel-winged oarpot baggor, get thee down
to earth, flood it by night aud scorch it by
day, aud tell the farmers if they make an
appeal to mo again abont the weather they
must do it in writiug, thirty days in ad
vance, aud tho petition muat be signed
by a majority of the tax-payers." Hermes
touched his top knot and left. "From
that day forward" tho reliable historian
assures us, "Jupitor never heard from
the farmers. But being deprived of the
right to pray for weather as individuals,
they avenged thomselves on Jupiter by
falling into tbo habit of chronic growling
and, as may be supposed, a coolness
sprung up between the farmers and the
other party that has never boon amicably
adjusted.
We nover indulgo iu olassio anecdotes,
save to point a moral. We have looked
over tho filos of our papers for scores of
years, and we have failod to meet the
reoords of ono season not filled with
growls and doubts. Fours of failure have
grown to be babitnal, and the resalt is the
season of presumed joy is turned into one
of despondency. If our farmers do the
host that it is possible to do aft industri
ous, intelligent workers, they may fail
now aud thou, in places ; but as a
rule, they will stoadily win—and they will
be riohor aud happier iu tho end, than if
they lived like agrarian Jeremiahs, la
menting tho very straugo aud unaccount
able treatment God is subjecting them to.
Tho hmd is good ; the seasons are wise in
their ordering; aud if calamity ooutinnee,
we think it would bo wiser to seo what
evils wo cau correct, than to nsk Provi
dence to chuuge tho workings of nature.
Ho far wo huve boou blessed; and we doubt
not, despite tho period of fear and wailiug
that is now upon ns, that the harvest will
come ns an ample reward to all who havo
earned it by hard aud intelligot in
dustry. C.
THE CORNER IN ORAIN.
We direct attention to the article oopied
from a Chicago paper relating to the
groat "corner” iu graiu gotten up by
speculators in that aud other oities. The
operations of this great produce "syndi
cate" have hud much to do in running up
and keeping up the prices of corn aud
Hour for the last few months. It has
bled tbo consumers of the oouutry to the
extent of millions of dollars, by produc
ing a fictitious scarcity aud domaud, and
withholding from market the breadstuffs
of the peoplo. It is a regular gambling
conspiracy, and it reeorta to the worse
tricks of the most dishonest gamblers in
the world—literally playing with "stock
ed" hands, and cloeing the game only
when it was certain to win the stakes.
Its operations have entirely nullified the
wholesome law of "supply and demand,"
and substituted for it the arbitrary and
selfish schemes of men beut only on their
own aggrandizement at the eoat of a suf
fering people—meu of capital and credit.
trades of the worm try am d the levying of
a heavy tax upon labor and poverty.
We all know bow a|uob similar opera
tions "la the rofir" contributed to the de
moralisation of the Confederate soldiery
and people daring the late war, when
speculation was continually engrossing
the supplies of food and clothing in the
country and holding them up for higher
prices. The consequent distress of the
poorer people—especially of the families
of thousands of soldiers at the front—ma
terially aided the Federal forces in the
work of subjugation. The same game
played by individual speculators during
the war Is now played by combinations of
capitalists in the getting op of these "cor
ners" in produoe. They have contributed
greatly to the distress of the last twelve
months, by keeping up the prioes of the
most essential articles of food. If the
producers of grain got the benefits of the
enhanced prices, tho ovil would not be so
great, becauso the profit would be more
generally distributed, and there wonld be
some compensating results. But these
profits go to the "middle meu" engaged
In the "cornering," and the produoe and
industry of the country are heavily taxed
for their exclusive benefit.
Why oannot the heavy band of Con
gress be laid upon these mischievous
"comers" and "cornerers” ? We are not
tho advooatea of Federal interference
with the business concerns or social cus
toms of the people. But we ask, if Con
gress has the power to intervene in the do
mestic affairs of a State to the extent of
redressing individual wrongs or com
plaints—matters which can have no na
tional influence whatever—why should it
not undertake to break up combinations
that do hnrtfully affect the people of most
of the States ? If it can legislate
especially for classes of the
Honth, why can it not legislate
for the whole people all over
the country ? Would it be an extraordi
nary stretch of its power to "regulate
oommeroe between the States’’—extraor
dinary for these usurping times—for it to
enact that produce gamblers shall not ob
struct tlie people of Georgia in their free
commerce with the farmers of Illinois for
their corn, wheat, Ac. ? Does the Govern
ment that wields tho sword so effectively
fear the money power exerted by the
great speculators of the oouutry? It is
tirno that some restraint was put upon op
erations that pervert trade, embarrass
labor, and subjoct the great mass of the
people to outrageous exactions imposed
by moueyed freebooters who prey upon
them.

Editor Enquirer-Sun:—I desire to
bring before the people of Lee the name
of Dr. W. F. Kennojv, of Halem, who is s
candidate for Sheriff. The Doctor is too
well and favorably known to many citi
zens of the county, with whom he oame
in close and friendly contact during a
long professional onreor, for me to add
comment here. Besides, he is eminently
qualified to faithfully discharge the dutieR
of the office; and if nominated, from
his universal popularity, his name would
give much strength to tho Democratio

Naton, Ala., Aug. f>, 1874.
Henry Ward Beeeber on Ike Fate of
Hr. Davie.
Rev. Henry Ward Beeoher once deliv
ered a long sermon upon tho fate of Mr.
Davie, which is suggestive of the lines:
That mercy I to others show,
That mercy show to me.
In conclusion be said: I speak it with
a certain reluctance, aud the thought
oftentimes, when it comes, even touches
me with grief; but I believe that Mr.
Davis, for example, will be hung. Already
tho scene tises before me. He is tried ;
he is convicted; he stands upon the
scaffold. All nations have watched the
sore process of the law; all nations
havo listened to the charges laid at
his door; all nations gather about the
scaffold. There ate some things to plead
for him. He is a man of distinguished
ability; he has conduoted his war with
pertinacity aud courage; he was the be
loved leader of the multitudes of the
Houth, and even now millions of them
wonld shield him if they oould. He has a
wife who lovea him, and children who
cannot understand his crime; he is sur
rounded by a mighty, innumerable North,
who, the war being over and its hot pas
sions cooled, have no hate and no xnalioe,
and nothing more and nothing worse than
a chastened, sorrowful iudiguation toward
him. If they could forget the dead; if
their bells of viotory. ware not drowned
by their belle of mourning; if thoy
could forget their oountry ; if they could
forget their God; they oould give way to
their pity for a brother man in bis ex
tremity. They hear voices from over the
sea; voioes of sympathy for him; voices
of pleading; occasional voices of threat
ening, may be. Bat nothing avails; no
thing uvails ; he can’t be spared; he
would not consent to peace; he wonld
not be just; he would be a patriot, he
must die. And the axe comes down,
and the world shudders, and the traitor
is dead. And I claim that a scene and
spectacle as that will do more for the sta
bility of the oountry and for the
cause of public order than almost any
dozen groat acts of those last four years.
It will take rank among tho sublimities of
history. It will engage the attention of
mankind as none of our battles have. It
will be rebellion and slavery epitomized
and embodied in the form aud person of
their chief man, and thon beheaded for
their sins. And the people will under
stand that simple, tragic thing; and it
will sink into them; aud it will hallow
love iu their feelings forever more. Let
it como then. History waits for it. The
greatest work of modern times—onr loyal
war, I mean—waits for its capstono. Let
it be raised to its bed. Not with shout
ings, but iu silenoe and tears, if you
ploaso. But let it be raised. And, iu tlio
words of our greAt martyr, wheu he wrote
the decree which has made him immor
tal—
"Upon this onr coming solemn aot of
justice, we invoke the blessing of Al
mighty God end the considerate judg
ment of mankind." Amen and amen.

IM Broadway, N. Y.
The fact that people are daily (offering
ami dying in every pert of tbe connty
from thoee waladiea for whioh tbe Gcttyc-
burg Katalysine water ie a aovereign rem
edy, proves that invalida hava not cred
ited tho published acoonnta of its curative
effcotR. Nor ia thia surprising, consider
ing tbe licensed misrepresentation and
deception uf the quack medicine men,
und of the other plnuderers of these suf
fering nnd helpless members of tha com
munity. But in proportion as tbe dema
gogues who rule tbe people ot the United
Mutes tinder the forme of government
neglect to protect those whose oondition
most powortnlly appeals to the sympathy
and msgueuimity of all right-minded
rulers, muBt be our endeavors to bring to
their knowledge the effloeoy of thia great
curative agent. When medieal falsehood
is bold, unblushing, unpunished, and tri
umphant, medical troth requires higher
testimonials. As different invalids oredit
different classes of testimony, we propose
to secure theie credence by publishing
various kinds of testimony whioh operate
on the human mind to produoe convic
tion. As it is the business of physioians
to study diseases and their remedies,
theirs is the highest testimony in favor of
any oarat ve agent.
The introduction of tha Gettysburg
Katalysine water as a oommeroial drug,
rendered national those medical experi
ments with its waters wbiob bad previous
ly been loeal, or conilned to tba resident
invalids in the vioinity of the spring.
Many eminent medical writers and prac
ticing physicians watched with deep in
terest the progress of these medieal ex
periments, franght with auoh incalculable
interest to humanity and to medioal sci
ence. Tho result of their observations
they communicated to tbe medioal jour
nals.
It would too greatly prolong this com
munication to make quotation! from ell
tho medical journals and medioal writers
who have commented upon the medical
experiments with this water. We will,
therefore, only nuke quotations from one
of the medioal journals and from one of
the medical writers, who ia recognised as
on authority on mineral waters
Testimony ot Medieal Josruli.
The New York Medieal lieeord, in two
editorial articles, entitled “Onr Recently
Discovered Mineral Waters,” and “The
Gettysburg Katalysine Water,” reviews
with much ability the praollcal experi
ments with tbe letter. It remarks :
‘Our experience in the nee of thia val
uable wator confirms the oonolnsione
stated by Dr. John Bell, of Philadelphia,
that it is a very useful remedy in ohronio
disorders of the digestive organs, and the
secondary derangements, snoh as gout,
rhoumatiBin, hepatio and rhenal affections,
skin diseases, &o., consequent thereon.
Wo havo good reason alao to believe from
whet we have seen and experienced, that
it will by long use remove nodosities of
tbo joints of a gouty nature.
We have also aeon oases of albuminuria
much relieved by it, ee well as the irrita
ble bladder of old age and oaloulus disor
ders of the lithio acid diathesis. * *
Wo have been inoredolona in regard to
this water haviug any auoh power os rep
resented by Drs. John Bell, B. H. Hal),
and other medieal writers, of dissolving
tho urat s or chalk formations in tbe
body, or on limbs and joints—• power
unknown to any other mineral water in
tho United States, so far aa we are in
formed. * * From experiments made
on our own person as well as others, we
can state that the Gettysburg Water is a
regulator of all the secretions and axore-
tious; under its influence the kidneys end
liver, the glanda of the intestinal canal
and tho Bkiu all perform their normal
functions; tbe bowels, if oonstipated,
became regular; the skin, if dry, becomes
moist; the torpid liver ia exoited to
healthy action, and tbe kidneys perform
their functions with perfeet regularity.
There is a total absenoe of any disagreea
ble sensations whatever; tha wit medico.
trie seems roused to increased aotivity,
aud all morbid canses of bodily, or even
mental disorder, Beem rapidly to pass
away. Tho result is : Increased appetite
aud digestion, a freer circulation, a
stronger pulse, a calmer mind, a more
tranquil sleep, a clearer oomplexion, and
au increasing nervous and muscular
power. * * Where gouty or rheumatic
porsons arc taking tbe water, we find an
extraordinary quantity of nrie acid accre
ted or deposited from the urine; the
sweat no longer contains this principle in
excess, an it generally does iu gonty sub
jects; aud, with proper attention to regi
men und diet, the health rapidly im
proves, distorted limbs become straight
ened aud enlarged joints gradually re
duced to their natural size."
Medical Authors.
Dootor Bull, the author of a standard
medical work entitled “The Mineral
Springs uf the UuitedBtatea and Canada,”
has prepared a paper on the Gettysburg
Katnlysino Springs, from which we
quote :
“The Gettysburg Water has produced
signally cuiative and restorative effects
in different forms of Dyspepsia, Sickness
of the Stouiaob, Heartburn, Watetbresh,
Acute Neuralgic Pains, Loss of Appetite,
Chronic Diurrhtea, Torpid Liver, Gout,
Chronio Khomntism, Nodosities of the
Joints, Approaching and Aotual Paralysis,
Diubctes, Kidney Disease, Gravel, Chron
ic Dyspepsia, Abdominal Dropsy, Ep
ilepsy, Ac., &o., Jtc.”
The New Power In Medicine.
lfe also remarks of its solvent effects
upon those forms of calonlus known as
the chalk-stones, lumps or nodosities of
rheumatism and gout:
“Were we to suppose thaee swellings to
be ligamentous, or cartilaginous, with
bony mutter deposited, our surprise at
their disappearance would be none tbe
loss, liocourse to all known therapeuti
cal agents and modes of treatment,
are ineffectual beyond sometimes
a reduotion of tha sin of tha
uodes of a gonty or rhenmatio na
ture by absorption of a part of tbe outer
end investing structure. Bat the entire
removal of the iuorganio body, without
surgical intervention, has not, we believe,
hitherto been brought ebont by either in
ternal remedies or external applications,
or by both united. In the one now nn-
dor notice, we cannot believe that the ab
sorbents would be equal to the task of
sucking up, as it were, ths deposited inor
ganic mutter, unless this deposit hu been
subjected to the solvent action of the
blood brought to the part by the delioato
capillaries. Whonce cornea this solvent
property ?”

In the a4jac -nt town of Gettysburg, eo that the
rammer loiterer can lire Lera as well,and much
more economically than at any other waterlnK
place or equal pretensions in the country. The
speedy transformation or this modern golgotha
into a health and pleasure resort presents a
sublime and Interesting spectacle for the con
templation of manklna. It is like tbe Uylng
down together of the lloo and the lamb under
the leading strings of a child. It Is as II the
lire and death principal had here met and
straggled for the mastery, and the former had
oome off victorious and was jnbllant over Its
triumphs. Here where so many human beings
perished and where the star of tbe new born
Confederacy commenced to deeeend from tho
meridian, soon to set In darkness and blood,
the late followers of the lost oause and tbe tri
umphant Federate meet In amity. mingling
their pleasures and seeking physical health and
life irom the same fountain.
We will conclude these quotations from writ
