Tho Wylly brought tho first now cotton
to Uolumhus this year, and on tho way to
tills city loft two halos of tho new crop at
Eufauia. Eufauia thus was u little ahead
of us, receiving hor bales on Monday and
Columbus on Tuesday. One of tho new
bales carried to Eufauia was raised in Ala
bama, and the other in Florida. Both
bales were sold nt auction, and brought
17c. Our first cotton brought only 13%e.
Tho Eufauia Time* says if only one bale
had boon received, and it had boon put up
at auction as the first bale, it .would have
brought 22c., or probably 25c. Two bales
made the price fall considerably.
Eufauia lias received 50,700 bales since
tho Ist of last September, besides 2,500
bales brought by tho railroads for sale lit
that city. A total receipt of nearly 31,000
bales is therefore claimed.

DIMINUTION.
It wilt be seen that there has been a gen
eral diminution in the returns this year.
The diminution in the aggregate value ol
property is $434,761. The value of cotton
manufactories is given in as $54,400 less
than last year. The amount of stocks and
bonds this year shows a vast decrease ol
$55,075. Merchandise shows a decrease of
$55,310. Aggregate value of city property
is given in as $230,890 less than last year.
The number of acres of land given in has
increased 8,548 acres.
Several other less Important changes
will bo noticed in a comparison of the re
turns for the two years.
Military .%>%%•.
There arc 281 organized companies of
military in Georgia. Only fifty-eight of
these are armed. The armed companies
consist of forty-five infantry, eleven caval
ry, and two artillery companies. Geor
gia’s quota of arms from the United States
is only sufficient to arm throo companies
per annum, and tho Legislature of Geor
gia has refused to make any appropria
tion to arm these 173 companies that have
no weapons. As fast as the arms are re
ceived from the United States government
they aro distributed by tboGovernor, those
companies whose application for arras was
first handed in being first served, The
military spirit is evidently abroad in the
land, and it seems to be spreading. The
colored population lius caught it, and they
are organizing companies in nearly every
county. It is probable that these recent
organizations will have to drill with
broomsticks and shot guns for several
years to come if they depend on getting
arms from tho Government. If the com
panies aro only armed at tho rate of three
a year it is probable that tho grand
children of some of tho prime movers in
tho formation of them may reap tho re
ward of their ancestors deeds, and receive
their war-like equipments from the Gov
ernment. The formation of companies
will probably cease for a while now, as the
hopes of obtaining anus for years to come
cannot be entertained. Some companies
in tho State have purchased arms for
themselves. Few are able to. bo so inde
pendent of the Government.
C 01l
Two gentlemen in thitr city have recent
ly received no less t han one dozen letters
from gentlemen who reside in different
parts of Georgia and Alabama, who desire
to send their daughters to the Columbus
Female College. Several of them contem
plate moving to the city. They made in
quiries as to the price of real estate, rents,
board, Ac., in Columbus. The letters were
all answered and others will probably
soon bo received.
Prof. Glenn will soon bo home and all
communications will bo turned over to
him. Prospects look well for the college
now and they will probably grow better.

Is there any news from the jetty ?
Of making many newspajiers in Atlanta
thcro is no end. There are now fourteen
publications in that city. The people
ought surely to keep posted.
Charles F. Wingate lias published a
book called “Views and Interviews on
Journalism.” It contains sketches of
Whitelaw Reid, Henry Wattcrson, Murat
Hoi stead, and all other famous American
editors. The volume is pronounced a suc
cess, and it is said that the author Ims
thrown into a prevailing impression of in
dividuality from which it derives a large
share of its interest. Such a volume will
bo largely popular.
Sir Winfrid Lawson recently spoke of
Mars and Bacchus as “the god of battles
and the god of bottles.”
The deputy marshal was busy yester
day morning superintending the removal
of limbs and [>ortions of trees blown on
the sidewalks and streets by the storm of
Monday. Almost every street was liter
ally green with fractured limbs and twigs
scattered in all directions.

The water rapidly fell Monday after
noon, arid tho Mobile A Girard Railroad
track is once more visible near tho court
house.
Spring chickens have passed that stage
of growtli where it took four of them to
make a nice lunch for a man of good appe
tite.
Koine of the country dames who reside
near Columbus bring in beautiful butter
to our market. It is solid, firm, and yellow
as gold. They ask good prices for it, but
it is well worth twice as much as the stuff
that looks like lard and does not taste as
well.
The union prayer meetings of the Meth
odists, held tills week at St. Luke church,
are well attended. They will continue
until the end of tin) week.
Gen. Beauregard passed through Atlan
ta Monday on his way to Virginia.
The reason now urged why Grant should

There are two hundred and fifty guests

We have had our first new cotton, and
are now quietly waiting for the first lot
of new sweetpotatoes. To us tho latter
arrival will be the more interesting of tiie
two.
There is nothing likeoconomy, and every
youtli in the city is making an earnest ef
fort to wear out his low-quartered shoes
before frost comes.
Hazlitt tries to console all who have not
a plenty of this world’s goods by say
ing- that “poverty is the test of civility,
and the touchstone of friendship.’’
Several new stores have recently opened
in the city in spite of the cry of dullness.
The average Columbus boy had much
rather stay at home to throw peach pigl
ings on the sidewalk during the day, and
chunk cats at night, than to enjoy the lux

The style of pantaloons to be worn this

Young ladies, if you have a life-size por
trait of Gen. Washington or William Hen
ry Harrison painted on a dinner plate
hang it around your neck and be in the

The city is said to be very clean at pres
ent. The rain of Monday did fine wash
ing, and our streets are improved, despite
a lew small gullies made by the water.
“There’s no place like home," sighs tin*
young man from Georgia, as he struts
around in Texas, with his hands in his
pockets, and thinks the question of where
his dinner is to come from a capital co
nundrum.
On almost any road loading from tin*
city you will see negroes in parties of three
or four trudging along, stick in hand, and
with their worldly effects dangling in a
yellow handkerchief over their shoulders.
They say they are looking for something
to do. As soon as cotton picking begins
they will find employment very easily.
If our Rifle Team means to walk victo
riously over the green turf of Central City
Park, they had better organize at once.
The other teams that intend to enter the
contest now practice frequently, and prac

The Scotch “mail” makes the distance
from Edinburgh to London, 397 miles, in
side of eight hours, an average rusfof fifty
miles per hour. This leaves our American
roads a little in the rear.
A youth who has talked to one girl at a

Some of our streets present quite a rua- j
tic aspect. Cows browse quietly tinder ]
the shade of their trees and the contented j
swine meanders over tho scene. We have
the “lowing herd” very often in tho heart
of our city.
The Atlanta I braid now gets out an eve
ning edition which soils for three cents a
copy. It is a small eight page sheet, very
different in form from the "morning edi
tion. It is gotten up in very neat style.
The evening edition of the Cmstitution is
the same size and style as that which ap
pears in the morning, and is sold for five*
cents. Both papers are very enterprising.
Copper coins, one ami two cents, are
coming into general use again. A supply
of them may reach Columbus after a while.
In our present extravagance wo never in
vest less than a nickel.
The signs blown down by Monday’s
wind have boon replaced and the last
traces of the storm are fast fading away.
The tickets which are sold from Atlanta
to New York and return for $45 do not
send passengers by the Central Rond to
Savannah and then furnish them passage
on steamer to New York. The route is by
Augusta, thence to Charleston by rail, and
there the steamers are taken. This route
is short and is said to lx? very pleasant.
We hope those Alabama grasshoppers
will keep on the other side of the river.
Dry weather has done the work for us
over here.
That newspaper in Georgia which has
not “its own” candidate for Governor is

A gentleman in this city has a well which
contains fine mineral water. It is strong
chalybeate, and tho whoia neighborhood
enjoys its blessings. A few days since
some lady friends called to see the family
and some of tho water was brought in for
them to drink. Tho owner of the well
apologized for it and said lie thought it
was not as good as usual. The ladies dif
fered ; they had tosh*! it often before but
had never known it to have such a delight
ful flavor. They were enthusiastic in its
praise. The next day two dead rats were
drawn up, perhaps accidentally. This
fact has been carefully kept secret from
the ladies who praised the water so much.
The mineral well is now disused and the
bucket will soon be covered with moss, for
somehow a prejudice against that water
lias taken possession of the whole neigh
borhood.

Tuesday night there was a negro ball at
one of the dens of vice on front stroet, at
which a number of colored belles and
beaux were present. Green-eyed jealousy
was there too, and Wash Russell and Dick
Upshaw were victims of her power, They
quarreled and then earne to blows. Dick
drew a knife and made a lunge at Wash,
cutting him very severely in the groin.
The blade penetrated to the hollow, and
made a frightful wound. I)r. C. Terry
was called in and attended to the wounded
man. He pronounces him very badly cut,
and says his recovery is very doubtful.
He was in a critical condition last night.
Upshaw has been arrested. The affair
happened in ono of those places which are
the prolific sources of many a fracas and
light. The city would be better off if they
wore all cleared out.

The demand for Dr. J. Bradfield's Fe
male Regulator is beyond precedent in
the annals of popular remedies. Orders
come in so thick and fast that the Propri
etor has, heretofore been unable to fill
them oil. He is happy to state that ar
rangements are now complete by which
he is prepared to manufacture Female
Regulator on a. scale equal to the emer
gency, and tiie public may feel assured
that their wants may now be supplied.
Physicians of high repute are using this
great remedy, in daily practice, all over
Georgia. Hereafter no woman need suf
fer from suppressed, suspended or irreg
ular menstruation. This valuable medi
cine is prepared by L. H. Bradfleld, Drug
gist. Atlanta, Ga., and sold at $1.50 per
bottle by druggists throughout America.

Mesara. Bradfitld it Cos.:
Gentlemen—You will please ship us an
other supply of your invaluable Female
Regulator, and forward bill by mail. We
are happy to state that this remedy gives
better satisfaction than any article we
sell. Wo have been selling it since 1868,
and witnessed many remarkable cures by i
it. Among others, there was a lady
friend of ours who was sallow and sickly j
until she was twenty-six years old, when
she was married. Her husband lived two
years and died. She continued in bad
health ; in fact, she has never been what
a woman ought to he. A few months
after the death of her husband she saw
your advertisement, and came to our
store and bought a bottle of your Regula
tor from us, and took it according to di
rections. it has cured her sound and
well, brought her regular monthly peri
ods on, and to-day she is a hearty, bloom
ing widow—with the use of but two bot
tles of your Regulator, costing her only j
three dollars, when she had tried several
physicians and spent a great deal of
money without any benefit. Wishing you
great success with your valuable reme
dies, wo are, respectfully yours, etc.,

are found in every State and Territory, aud its

not only endeavor to keep It fttlly up to tho old
standard, but to improve aud add to its variety

found in it, condensed when unimportant, at
rull length when of moment, and always, we
trust, treated lu a clear, interesting and instruct

overthrow of republican; institutions. It Las uo
fear of knaves, and seeks no favors from their
supporters.
The markets of every kind aud the fashions
are regularly reported.
The price of the WEEKLY SUN is one dollar a

make special efforts to extend its circulation.
Under the new law, which requires payment of
postage in advance, one dollar a year, with twenty
cents the cost of prepaid postage added, is the
rate of subscription. It is not necessary to get
up a club in order to have the Weekly Sun at this
rate. Any one who sends one dollar aud twenty
cents will get the paper, postpaid for one year
