Yellow Feveii at New Orleans.—
The Montgomery Advertiser pub
lishes a dispatch of the 35th from the
Mayor of New Orleans to the Mayor
of Montgomery, stating that the fSec
retary of the Board of Health reports
five cases of yellow fever in Novy Or
leans. No new eases in two days.
Only twenty-live eases lids summer.
Cols. Manning and Walton, the
competing candidates for Congress
in the Second District of Mississippi,
were about going lo Memphis to
light a dill,hist week, but Walton was
arrested us he was getting on the
ears and put under a bond. The dif
ficulty grew out of Manning calling
Walton a "sealawng.”

riNcmiACK. Tho New Orleans pa
pers report that Pinch back has loft
Louisiana in disgust at the political
situation there. Ho has gone North
to remain until the close of the can
vass. Before leaving, he declared
Ids Intention to support Hayes nnd
Wheeler, but said that he was utter
ly opposed to the State ticket noml
ted at the St. Charles Theatre, and
hud told leading Republicans, before
tlio assembling of the convention,
that, it would not. do to nominate a
carpet-bagger for Governor, but
some leading Conservative citizen, u
man who would command the confi
dence and respect of the people.
The New Orleans Democrat vividly
caricatures the probable result in
Louisiana, by the picture of a negro
kicking Packard out of the State
House.

Tlu> Fever nt Brmwwleh.
To show the terrible extent of the
epidemic at Brunswick, and the need
of prompt and liberal aid to its suf
erlng people, wo are permitted to
make the following extracts from a
privuto letter from a gentleman in
Brunswick to a relation in this city :
"Lizzie was taken with yellow
fever last night about 13 o'clock, and
has a very high fever now, but I
trust she will recover from it. John
nie relaiwgd day before yesterday,
and I am very much troubled about
him. You cannot imagine the dis
tress and suffering in our midst,
“My heart almost busts within
mo when I have time to stop and
tliiuk. Groans of tlie dying and the
moans of the bereaved are torrible.
1 have been on the go day and
night for nine days, having
in ifiy own house from '•> to 13 down
ull the time,” “Dr. Blaiu has 13
down ut his house, but is compelled
to go outside and attend others. The
fever has spread over the whole
town. Savannah's mortality Is less
than ours in comparison with tho
population. Dr. John Noble died
yesterday, and it is reported that his
father is in a dying condition to-day.
Five interments yesterday, and
three so far to-day 11 o’clock a. m.”
“I thought 1 saw suffering and dis
tress during the war, but tho whole
four years I was in tho army does not
coin pare with the last three weeks of
yellow fever in our town.”
"The physicians are all completely
worn down, and they each have so
many eases on their hands that it is
impossible to get one when you want
him.”
“I was culled to attend two that
are sick aboard u vessel uear the
house, as no doctor could bo had. I
called and prescribed for them. I
have one patient in the liouso that
has h.-.d no doctor at all. I took the
case with the first symptoms, and to
day let him come down into the par
lor a little while. My cook aud port
ei are both down. Pray for us, that
we may go through safety. Mother
is better this morning ; also Ben. I
am worn out, but cannot give up yet,
G. C. F.”
There Is on the farm of l>r. Houston
two mites titan Clarksville, Habersham
county, an apple tree sixty-two years old,
which is seven feet ten and a half inches
tn circumference, forty-llvo feet high, nnd
t hat annually boars one hundred bushels
of apples. It Is still growing as thriftily
as a young tree.
HFFI.Y TO "A BF.WOI 8.4 T. '
i Our correspondent, who so pertly
: takes us to task for alleged uufalr
| ness towards Mr. Hilliard in the
! Congressional canvass, uses a mis
-1 tiotner. He cannot consistently
writo himself down a “Democrat”
while opposing a Democratic nomi
nation, without showing that that
nomination does not represent the
choice of tho party. He should have
called himself an “Independent,”
and taken issue with us from that
standpoint. Then tho consistency of
our respective positions In this can
vass would have been better defined.
Ours is a Democratic paper, with
sufficient "Independence” and fair
ness to treat our political opponents
with respeot and courtesy aud allow
them a hearing through our col
umns, but at the same time too
firmly attached to Its party moor
ings to support any tnan he ho
Democrat, Independent, or what not,
against a fair Democratic nomina
tion. In the ease in hand we have
declared that Mr. Harris was fairly
nominated, and wo have challenged
Mr. Hilliard and his supporters to
show the contrary. But neither he
nor our correspondent with tho mis
nomer have done so. They talk
vaguely and generally of fraudulent
nominations, the work of cliques and
rings, &e., but fail to show that Mr.
Harris owes ills nomination to any of
these influences. Their irrelevant
denunciations of party machinery,
frauds, &c., are therefore entirely
misdirected, if tlioy linvo any direc
tion at all. They might as well talk
of Turkish atrocities in Bulgaria as n
reason for boiling tho nomination of
Mr. Harris.
Our correspondent will please ex
cuse us for declining his invitation to
discuss tho old issues between the
ante beltam Whigs arid Democrats,
and between the Unionists and Seces
sionists in our late civil strife. Such
discussions now can only bo mis
chievous and hurtful to all parties,
and they have no more pertinoncy
than tirades against frauds and rings
without allowing that frauds and
rings had anything to do with the
nomination of Mr. Harris. We
were Whigs and Democrats-
Unionists and Secessionisfs—once,
when those names represented
living, practical issues before the
country. Wo are Democrats or Re
publicans now with a few “inde
pendents” hanging on the outskirts
—because in the contest between
Democracy and Radicalism Is in
volved all that is at issue of good
government and constitutional prin
ciple. This is the great fight towhlch
the people are summoned, and the
“Independent” cuts in it about as
big and important a figure as a boy
with his tin gun and trumpet would
have cut outside of the lines at Ma
nassas or Gettysburg,
This correspondent asks who shall
deny to the people the right to ex
press their preference at the ballot
box, &e. Nobody undertakes to de
ny them any such right. But the
Democratic party of the District has,
in its mode long followed nnd faith
fully observed in this instance,
chosen one among several aspirants
as its candidate, and the members of
the party, having themselves rando
this choice, are in good faith bound
to sustain It. They would defeat
themselves In defeating their own
nominee.
Mr. Hilliard and our correspondent
may bo Democrats in principle, but
they are not Democrats in organiza
tion. They havo chosen to take their
positions outsido of the lines, and to
open their fire on the chosen Demo
cratic loader and the Democratic
ranks. Wo insist, therefore, that
they are not of the Democrat ic party
of the Fourth Congressional District
of Georgia, and we use a mild term
in calling them “independents.”
Mr. Hill did not run as an “inde
pendent” in tho Ninth District. The
Convention failed to make u nomina
tion, from sheer Inability to make
one, and left him and his competitor
to make the race on their individual
claims. They both ran as Demo
crats, and the party would not have
been defeated by the election of eith
er. Iu Mr. Felton’s case, he ran
against a regular Democratic nomi
nee, and though he was elected by a
very small majority, ho would have
been beaten by thousands had only
Democrats voted. His election was
a defeat of the Democracy, just as
every election must bo in which an
“Independent” succeeds over a regu
lar Democratic nominee—particular
ly if tho “independent” is supported
by tho open opponents of the Demo
cratic party.
We have treated Mr. Hilliard and
his supporters with all fairness and
respect in this canvass. This Is
pretty well attested by tho publi
cation of a communication as freely
criticising our conduct, as that, which
we publish to-day. Wo think, too,
that we havo allowed them to "blow
their horn” very strongly—perhaps a
little too strongly, considering our
aversion to such performances--as
tho letter which we published yes
terday from Palmetto attests. We
do not intend to be moved by such
things to any asperities or discourte
sies ; but we think that it would be
in better taste on the part of Mr.
Hilliard’s supporters to acknowledge
the fairness nnd consideration with
which they are treated by a Demo
cratic paper of the District. Wo are
satisfied that Mr. Hilliard himself
does not share the captious spirit ex
hibited by his friend who has a show
ing through our columns to-day.
A gentleman who has tieen a con
stant reader of the letters of our cor
respondent "B,”’ remarked to us
yesterday that they showed remark
able accuracy in their descriptions of
places, &e.; that he had himself been
iu several of tho localities described,
and was struck with the fidelity of
our correspondent’s sketches. It is
evident from his letters that he takes
extraordinary care to obtain correct
nnd minute ' information, and that
what he writes may be relied on.
COTTON IStTACTI HIAk
Editorials and communications in
tho London Times show that not only
that sagacious paper, but numbers of
the British manufacturers are becom
ing alarmed at tho rapid progress of
cotton manufacture in the United
States. Tho fact that manufactured
cotton goods have of late been suc
cessfully exported from this country
to Asiatic and oven to European mar
kets, especially gives them concern.
They four that wo will soon be able
to undersell them all over the world,
and they are compelled to admit that
In quality the American goods now
compare favorably with their own.
These fears are evidently well
founded. Great Britain is fast los
ing her great pre-eminence in cotton
manufacture, and it is difficult to see
how she can ever recover lost ground.
The difference in transportation
more than overbalances iwy advan
tages which sho now possesses, or
cun hope to possess, from cheaper
labor. But though Great Britain
may have to lose a great deal of this
vast and heretofore profitable indus
try, her manufacturers have still a
field open to them in which they can
regain their supremacy in cotton
manufacturing. That field is our
Southern States, where tho ootton
grows. Let them establish their ma
chinery upon our übundant and un
surpassed water-power, and they
need never fear ruinous competition
again. The changing of their
field of operations to our
Northern States would only give
them temporary relief, nnd for a
very snort time at that. The true
policy is for Mahommod to go ut
once to tho mountain, and occupy
there a position of durable strength
and impregnable advantage. If cot
ton cunnot be transported to Man
chester and Birmingham and manu
factured there so cheaply as to allow
its fabrics to compete in the markets
of the world with American fabrics,
the only sure remedy of the British
manufacturers on the Trent and the
Mersey is to change their mill sites,
and not to tho Merrimac or Full rfv
er, but to tho Chattahoochee, the Sa
vannah and the Coosa, in the heart
of the cotton-growing region.
IVIIEPKNDKXT CANDIDATE*.
THE WISDOM OB UNWISDOM OF NOMINA
TIONS—ABE THEY NOT CALCULATED TO
DEFEAT THE WISHES OF THF. PEOPLE?
THE CASE OF MB. HILL IN THE
9TH AND DK. FELTON IN THE 7TH DIS
TIIICTB CITED—LET US HAVE FAIB I'LAY
AND RECORDS OF THE CANDIDATES IN
THIS DtHTMCT.
Tat he Editor of the Timex: Will
you allow a word of protest from a
friend of your paper ? Not so much
against anthing you have said, as
against what you have failed to say,
and whnt you havo permitted others
to say. Tho subject of “Indepen
dent candidates” is ono of very grave
interest to the people, and presents ■
several questions which ought to be
discussed with fairness, candor and
ability. From your record, well
known to the people, extending over
many years, and adorned in large
measure, permit mo to say, with the
virtues I have named, we had hoped
that you would take up this subject
now that is so tangibly before us and
treat it in the true spirit of judicious
fairness. Refering to the affairs
of this Congressional District, con
sidering that there is no Re
publican opposition, aud not like
ly to he any for an indefi
nite future, what say you to the wis
dom of nominations at all? Conven
tions, you must admit, frequently
fail, perhaps in a majority of cases,
to express the sentiments evon of the
parties they represent. It is notori- ,
ous that candidates obtain nomina
tions not because they are the ablest
to represent the people acceptably,
but because they are tho ablest to
manipulate conventions. Take the
case of Mr. Hill iu the Ninth District. ,
He could notwirework himself into
a nomination ; but ho ran as an "In
dependent,” and received more votes
than all of his competitors combined
—including tho candidate “recom
mended” by the convention. Take
the ease of Dr. Felton in the Seventh
District, He could not have
obtained a third of tho number
of votes required to nominate
him in the convention, but he
came out as an “Independent,” and
so clear was it that he was going to
beat the nominee by five thousand
votes the nomineo withdrew, and
another man was nominated who
was also defeated. And now, while
it is perfectly notorious that Dr. Fel
ton is the choice of a great majority
of even his own party, the ringmas
ters havo again nominated the de
feated candidate of two years ago,
with tho intent, by the desperate
use of the party lash, and the despi
cable fraud of bringing out a so
called Republican candidate, of de
feating the will of tho people of the
Seventh District aud depriving the
State of its noblest representative.
But while conventions thus fre
quently misrepresent the sentiments
even of tlieir own parties, the people,
if allowed to express their wishes di
rectly, ore sure to represent them
selves truly. Does it not follow, then,
that nominations are an evil, though
from a political standpoint they may
sometimes be a necessary evil? And
then does it not follow, irresistibly,
that so soon as the necessity ceases
to exist, the evil ought to he abolish
ed? What say you ? Who shall deny
to the people tho right to expross
tlieir wishes directly at the ballot
box ? Who says to the people, You
shall vote for this man, because he
has a ticket-of-lenve, signed with my
royal hand, pinned to his coat col
lar?
Again, here is a question which the
readers of the Times are particularly
anxious you should answer: If a man
once obtains a nomination by prom
ising that he will not again be a can
didate, and then, notwithstanding
such promises, he, by evasions,
equivocations, and other arts known
to the demagogue, gets himself nom
inated again, is not that sufficient
reason why the people should refuse
to vote for him again ? And in this
connection, would you mind giving
us your theory of the true inward
ness of the Convention at West Point,
which nominated by acclamation—
after one hundred and twenty-seven
baliotings—‘‘a Christian gentleman,
thoroughly identified with agricul
tural pursuits”?
Now I havo not said anything upon
tho merits or demerits of the two
candidates for Congress from this
District. The people would be glad
to hear from youou this point also.
Come now, let us have fair play. I
will not remind you that as an editor
you owe this much to the people—
you need no reminder of that. You
have not been an editor for a quarter
of a century withoutdlscovoring that
a love of fair-play is asentiment as
dear as it is creditable to our people.
Wherein would tho gentleman who
received the nomination by acclama
tion—after ono hundred and twenty
seven baliotings—muke an abler, or
truer, or more efficient representa
tive in Congress than the other?
The one, the nominee, os I under
stand, was a secessionist and helped
to carry t he State out of the Un ion,but
then, showing the faith that was in
him, he entered the army and served
through the war ns a brave and gal
lant soldier. The Other was a Union
man, and fired the last shot that was
fired for the Union, Constitution and
the Whig ticket, but he went with
his people and was equally as brave,
gallant a soldier. Further than this
I am not informed. Let us have
tlieir records.
One word in conclusion: One of
your correspondents—evidently a re
diculous pedagogue, from his fre
quent misuse of Latin words—says
that all Independents are deserters
or traitors, or both.” Now what I
wish to ask is, would not your valu
able paper be all the more so for the
exclusion of such miserable twaddle?
