It will bo of interest to our cotton men to learn that tho Southern press generally la objecting to the prejudices of Liverpool In favor of New Orleans, and discrimina tions made against cotton from other sec tions which is just as good. It is claimed that tlio use of fertilizers has so assimilated cotton that it is about the same In all sections, aud all prejudice as to tho superiority of the cotton of any particular State are groundless. The At lanta Omatitulion has the following ar ticle on the subject: The Memphis cotton exchange officially objects to the prejudice that exists in Liv erpool in favor of New Orleans as a cotton center. It is a well known fact, says the Memphis people, that cotton from Mem phis via New Orleans is sold and delivered without difficulty in Liverj>ool as New Or leans cotton, while precisely the same kind of cotton as to staple, fibre ami hand ling, cleared at New York, or other eastern ports, is degradtwl and sold as “bales cot ton" at 1-8 to i-i less than the New Orleans shipments. And they then proceed to show that the best cotton for staple, body and handling, received in New Orleans are drawn from the alluvial lands of Missis sippi and Arkansas, contiguous to and naturally tributary to Memphis. They further show that their cottons command an appreciation at home and among con tinental spinners that is denied to them in Liverpool, the world’s greatest cotton market. They, therefore, urgently protest against the continuance of the injurious discriminations, and ask to have a place assigned Memphis on the blackboard and in tho market reports and circulars of the Liverpool cotton brokers’ association, that her consignments may be sold on their own merits. It is very plain that the complaints of the Memphis Cotton Exchange are well grounded. The favorite cottons that once centered in New Orleans are now sent in part to various points, and a large quanti ty of inferior cotton finds its way to New Orleans. And yet Liverpool maintains the discriminations which are based on con ditions that no longer exist. The railroad system of tho South has materially ( hang ed tho direction of cotton, and British ex ports strongly refuse to accept the fact. What Is true as to Memphis is also, true of Georgia cottons. The free use of ferti lizers has asslmulated the cottons of dif ferent sections. There is no material dif ference between our cotton and that of the section about Memphis. This fact was frankly acknowledged by the Memphis papers last summer, when a considerable quantity of upper Georgia cotton was sent from Atlanta to Memphis. We thus have a direct interest in the movement of the Memphis Exchange to open the eyes of our British consumers to the situation. At present tho Liverpool brokers are twenty-live years behind the times. Fine. lliiln In lliii’rl* unil Meriwether. From parties who witnessed it wo learn that a fine rain fell near Hamilton Monday afternoon. The heavy cloud in that direc tion could bo seen from the city. Yester day fuller reports came In of a glorious rain which extended over a- greater part of Harris and Meriwether counties. It is described by many as one of the hardest over known in that section. For three or four hours it continued with unabated force, and tho ground was at last blessed with a thorough wetting. A rain was nev er more welcome. Parts of tho country on which it foil were dry and parched, and had not had oven a shower for weeks upon weeks. Crops were burning up and had suffered much irreparable damage. It Is thought that tho rain will restore them wonderfully and that the younger corn will make a fine yield. Cotton will be much benefltted by the rain. Everywhere it is looked on as very fortunate, and the farmers in the section blessed by the rain are in much better spirits. They are now more hopeful of a good crop. Tills is real ly good news, and we hope it has not been at all exaggerated. The crops in parts of Harris county did not get any of the rain, however. They are still dry and parched and little hope is entertained that they will make more than half a yield. The crops In Meriwether are better, and the rain of Monday extended more generally over that county. The l,n*t of* t hi* Ucltee*. Last Wednesday Indian Bam, the last survivor of the lichee Indians, died at HawkinsviUe. Ho had arrived at a good old age, and was well known in the neigh borhood whore ho lived. He bore a good character and was highly esteemed. The Uchocs were once a powerful tribe in Geor gia. They inhabited that part of theHtate about the present site of Auguste. The tribe never went West, but slowly died away before advancing civilization In Georgia. Tho death of the last survivor of a once numerous and powerful tribe is strikingly sad. The Indians are fast dying out, and it may not be many years before they disappear as completely even from their own territory as they have now from the soil of Georgia. Week, of l*ryei\ The present week was set apart some time since by the Bishops of the Southern Methodist Church as a week of special prayer for the foreign missions and edu cational institutions of that church.

Yesterday about one o’clock there fell in tide city one of tho hoviest and hardest rains known for years. A shower fell about eleven o'clock, after which the clouds seemed to gather thicker than ever, anti to prepare for a grand demonstration of their power. The ruin began to fall very hard about a quarter to one, and for forty minutes it continued with unabated force. At one timo the wind blew fiercely, and the storm was one of the most severe we over saw. The rain fell in hugo drops, which were blown into perfect Sheets by the wind. It was impossible to see for any distance through these volumes of falling water. The torrents and wind kept up a loud noise, and the loudest of talking was necessary. About this timo there was a heavy fall of hull and the rain seemed to fall, after it, heavier than ever. The thun der kept up an almost continuous roar, and the lightning flushes were unusually frequent and bright. The storm for ten minutes was grand, and one could imagine that he was witnessing a destructive tor nado. Limbs were falling all around, signs wore flying out into the business streets, fences were falling, and all presen ted a scene of confusion. The rain did not entirely cease until nearly two o'clock, when the air was delightfully clear and pure. DAMAGES. The scene presented to one who looked out after tho storm showed clearly how severe it had been. The streets which throw the water off were badly washed, and those that were lower wore complete ly covered with water. The track of the Mobile A Girard Railroad was completely under water where it crosses Jackson street, and the street looked like a big fish pond. Tho east commons were in a float and presented a huge sherd of water. The timber which is to be used to build the ne gro school-house was floating about in all directions. The inhabitants of the com mons were wading about in the water as if it were their native element. The trees suffered very much, many being badly blown to pieces, and tiieir limbs strewn ail over the streets and sidewalks. One or two trees in the lower part of the city were blown completely down, and one, near the Halloca grocery, was struck by lightning. It is rumored that some small houses in the same quarter were demolished. Quite a numlmr of signs on Broad street were torn away from their fastenings and car ried some distance. Many a housewife was made unhappy by the leakage of roofs and the beating of rain through windows. The Deputy Marshal was busy nearly ail the afternoon in making his colonxl hands remove rubbish and limbs from the sidewalks to render them passable. THE LIGHTNING FREAKS. Tho display of electricity was fine. The lightning struck the Mobile and Girard track near the car shed and ran down It for some distance. One or two trees were struck near Wynn’s Hill. One bolt struck very near to some workmen who were eating dinner a little distance from the car shed. It was reported that one or two houses were struck. A cow was knocked down by a bolt which struck near the Ea gle and Phenlx Mills. No loss than seven or eight bolts struck in the city limits Several freight cars on tho Southwestern Road were blown a con siderable distance down the track. One or two of them were blown off on the cross ties. Though the storm was very severe and tho lightning struck several places in the city, there was no injury to a human being that we heard of, and tho storm left t he whole atmosphere delightful and pure. Later in the afternoon a steady rain set in and lasted into the night. Wo have had an abundance of rain in the city. Reports came in last night that the rain had boon general in the comity and that crops were greatly benefitted. There are some parts of the county which have not had a drop of rain for eight weeks. It is to be hoped that they received some of yesterday's bountiful rain. YEW COTTON. TWO BALES YESTERDAY. The first new cotton of the season was brought to the city by the George W. Wylly, whieli arrived from down the river early yesterday morning. We had no first bale this year. Two bamo together. The date this year is two days later than that of the receipt of last year’s first bale, it arriving on the Bth of August. One of the bales of new cotton which came yesterday was consigned to Messrs. Swift, Murphy and Cos. It was shipped by S. H. Dickinson and Cos. from Neil’s Landing, Fla. It was raised by a negro on Mr. Amos Hays’ plantation, in Henry county Alabama. It is classed as good ordinary and is full weight. It is yet unsold. The other bale was consigned to Flour noy, MeGehee and Cos. It was shipped to them by B. B. Barkley of Greenwood, Fla., and was raised by him. Weighs 583 pounds, and is classed as strict good ordi nary. It is not yet sold. We may look for more new cotton soon.

Columbusites are as high up the country os Gainesville, New Holland and Toccoa, and as far down as Brunswick and Cumberland Island. Between these two points any number of them can bo found. We have not had the excitement of a runaway on Broad street for many a day. It is too warm for animals to take such violent exercise. The sowing machine business in this city is becoming much more important than ever before. It is now in the hands of en ergetic business men. Tonics of various kinds are now In gen eral use. It is natural that people should desire something to counteract the ener vating effect* of the weather. Home of the tonics used look very much like a well known invigorative which is more fre quently called by another name. The quality of the peaches brought Into this market Is fast improving.

We will have to conclude after ail that Florida is a great Htate. Cotton men are now figuring up and guessing how many bales Columbus will got next year. Estimates are various. It is to lie hoped that we will get over this year’s figures and not allow Montgomery to lead us another year. Within three Presidential terms live Presidents—Pierue, Buchanan, Lincoln, Fillmore and Johnson—have died.

Revenue collectors are making a great fuss now about frauds in the manufacture of cigars, and yet the poor, illicit distiller has no rest. The east side of Broad street seems to be leading the opposite side in enterprise, at least in the matter of pavements. All the new pavements recently laid have been on the (suit side of the street The Grand Lodge of tho United States, Independent Order of Odd Fellows, will meet In Indianapolis on the 20th of Sep tember. It met in Atlanta last year. Even baliies wear striped stockings now. Who dares to say the style is passing away? Augusta lias a rifle team, which will probably contest at the Htate Fair. Our team ought to bo organized at once and practice a great deal, if not it may be left on tho "ragged edge” of defeat at the Fair. Next mouth has tho necessary “r” in it, and we call enjoy H'e luxury of oysters. They do not begin to come ifito the city in quantities until October. Columbus boys do not mind that little walk out toWynnton at all under some circumstances. The small boy now consoles himself with the thought that Christmas is just a little more than four months off. Everybody was disappointed when the heavy clouds of Monday sternly rolled away without blessing the city with a re freshing shower. Farmers say that good rains now would help cotton wonderfully. Squares are dropping off with terrible rapidity, and nothing but rain will cause them to cease doing so. Columbus will be present in force at the Harris county camp meeting. A large at tendance is expected, and ample prepara tions for entertainment will be made. Oranges will begin to come in some time in October. They were remarkably cheap last winter and will bo ho next season. We get oranges almost as cheap here as they do in Florida. How many cures for drunkenness are now suggested ? The most permanent cure is to be found in a strong will, but this is too often gone where cure is most needed. It is astonishing to see how scarce dogs are on our streets. The midnight sere nades are seldom heard now, and the bark ing of many a cur is forever hushed. Still they leave the city for the springs. The number of cant-get-aways is steadily decreasing. Those who remain seem to be very happy and contented, however. It is about time for another lot of new postal rules to be published. It has been fully two weeks since the last set appear ed, and the people are almost used to them now. This will never do. Keep up the mystification. The venerable Dr. Loviek Pierce preach ed in Savannah last Sunday. He is now almost ninety-two years old and st ill re tains his wonderful vigor of mind and ; body. “No rose without its thorn.” At some of the most “attractive” residences in this city, the worst kind of dogs are sporting in the front yard.

What Makes the Mky Mine. The ethereal blue oolor of the sky Is due to minute part ivies of matter wnioh flout in the air. Were those particles removed the appearance of the sky would be dead black. It is a fact In optics that exceedingly fine portions of matter disperse or scatter the blue rays of light, coarser por tions scatter red rays, stiil coarser portions scatter all the rays, making white light. The atmosphere is full of aqueous vapor. I lit; particles of whieii diffuse white light, in all direc tions. When the panicles are en larged they become visible in tho form of clouds. That the diffusion of light in our atmosphere, the blue coloring of the sky and colors of the clouds, are due to the presence of matter floating in the air, lias been conclusively proven by Tyndall. On passing a beam of sunlight through a glass tube the beam is rendered bril liantly visible by tho reflection of light from the dust i(articles floating ; in the air contained in the tube. But j on removing the dust particles, which i is done by Altering the uir by cotton wool, or causing the air to puss over | a flame, the beam of light is no longer : visible in the tube.— Exchange. sunn) Faces. How sweet in infancy, how lovely in youth, how saintly in ago! There are a few noble natures whose very presence carries sunshine with them wherever they go; a sunshine which means pity for the poor, sympathy for tho suffering, help for the unfor tunate, and benignity for all. How such a face enlivens every other face it meets, and curries into every com pany vivacity, joy, and gladness. But tlie scowl and frown, begottou in a selfish heart, and manifested in daily, almost hourlv fretfulness,com plaining, fault-finding, angry criti cism, spiteful comments on the mo tives aud actions of others, how they thin the cheek, shrivel the face, sour aud sadden tho countenance! No joy in the heart, no nobility in the soul, no generosity in the nature; the whole character as cold as ah iceberg, as hard as an Alpine rock, as arid as the wastes of Sahara!

If you And yourself losing all your confidence in human nature, you are nearing an old age of vinegar, of wormwood, and of gall: and not a mourner will follow your solitary bier, not one tear-drop shall ever full on your forgottou grave. E.r. Trt Obtain Fruit Frimi Harrell Trees. A correspondent of the Anwrhnn Agru nlturixtx says: “1 wish to de scribe to you a method of making fruit trees bear that I blundered on. Some iifteen years ago I had a small apple tree that leaned considerably. I drove a stake by it, tied a string to a limb, and fastened it to the stake, j The next year that blossomed full, and not another blossom appeared I on the tree, and, as Tim Bunker! says, ‘it got me a thinking,’ and 1 came to the conclusion that the string was so tight that it prevented I the sap returning to the roots; eon- j sequentiy it formed fruit buds. Hav- j ing a couple of pear trees that were I large enough to hear, but had never I blossomed, I took a coarse twine and | wound it several times around the tree, above the lower limbs, and tied it as tight as I could. Tin next spring all the top above tho cord blossomed as white as a sheet, and there was not otic blossom below; where the cord was tied. A neigh- j bor, seeing my trees loaded with pears, used litis method with the same result. I think it is a much bet ter way than cutting off the roots. In early summer, say June or July, wind a strong twine several times around the tree, or a single limb, and tic it, the tighter the better, ami you will be pleased with the result. The next winter or spring the cord may be taken off.” THE CASH list (LOOMS fllOl'SK Will Offer <m Monday More of the White Victoria Lawns so eagerly sought after the past week; also, notable bargains in Coast meres, White | .Swiss anil Nansook, new Sash Ribbons,!
