The Walton fasketjj Thursday November 2, i$7L Governor Bullock: Resigned. 'Benjamin Conley Governor of Georgia. YestenJay ended an episode in Geor-. gia’s history, to which no Georgian will ever recur with any but feelings of %4imiliateflNatate pride. Rufus B. Bul- Ibck cut snort his gubernatorial term by his own resignation. Whether it is vol- Ifentary depends upon the criminality of hjsacfs that maderesignation an escape from impeachment/*® The people can only put this construction upou his re<- t%ment. They believe that guilt drove him from the office, which he obtained by fraud which bp has disgraced by crime, and which he'left ere his term of ignoble incumbency expired through fear of punishment. His resignation was _ made before he ieft for New York, and •'-confirms the idea of hia-consclous'guilt. —Constitution. ; 1 ♦- Geological Survey. ■» %. * in speaking of the wants of Georgia, -we know of no outlfcy.qf money which would yield such immense returns in svKd progress aud permanent prosperi*- ty„to the State as a through geological survey of it. It is to be hoped that this matter will meet with the early and earnest attention of the incoming Legis lature. Millions of dollars worth of minerals'lie buried where they do no body any good, which, if developed would not only furnish profitable invest ment of capital and remunerative em ployment to labor, but furnish our peo ple with abundant means to construct railroads, buiX factories, schooUhouses and churches and ‘scatter plenty o’er a smiling land.’ The outlay required would be perfectly insignificant, when compared with the incalculable benefits surp to result therefrom. It is needless to offer an argument in favor of this proposition. |lvery one /Who kdows anything about jit, knows that its importance cannot be oves esti mated and all regret that the work has •bqeu delayed so long. Let us have a State Geologist, by all means. Washington, October 17.—The fol lowing is from the Agricultural Bureau: The cotton returns of October are no more favorable thau those of the pi eces diflg months. In no State is the avers age of September fully sustained.— The general average of the condition on the first week of the present month is 76 per cent, against 80 per cent, in September. In some sections in the Mississippi Valley and in Texas, im proved prospects are reported, while the preponderance of testimony in the Southwest, as well as on the Atlantic coast, favors a further reduction of the expected yield. The percentage of con dition in the several States is as follows: North Carolina, 80 per cent; South Carolina 76; Georgia 72; Florida 73; Alabama 75; Mississippi, 76; Louisiana 73; Texas 72; Arkansas 82; Ten*, nessee 04. The injuries reported are from rust, shedding of bolls prematurely, a suffi ciently low temperature to check the development of bolls in the more nor thern latitude, floods and inundations. In Florida aud Georgia, sprouting or rotting of boils from rains, drought in the sections west of Georgia aud the boll and army worms in portions of Mis sissippi and the more western States. It does not appear that the losses from insects are general or very serious. With a few isolated exceptions the drought should be credited w i h a lar ger pioportiou of the depreciation than any other assigned cause, notwithstan ding the fact that cotton endures a lack of moisture better than other crops. The present indications do not point to a crop of more than three millions of bales. If the remaining season should be unfavorable for the development and gathering of the fabric, as a matter of course the result must be accepted. S3f**The population of Atlanta* is set down 23.900; increasing from 18,000 since iB6O. t CHICAGO. tory of its Rise, Progress, and Prosperity. v Chicago had only 29,963 in- During the succeeding dec ade the population nearly quadrupled, and in 1860 she had 110,973 persons liviug within her limits. In 1870 the number had-increased to 298,977. The means which enabled Chicago to gath er such numbers are now greater than in the last two decades, while many circumstances then unfavorable to her growth no longer exist. The number and importance of the railroads conoen trting at Chicago are greater ; the area of cultivated laud around her is vastly wider , the manufactures which find a market in her marts are far more exten sive than in the period during which she advanced to be the fifth city in the Union. Immigration, to which the burned city owed many thousands of res- idents, is also more steady and greater than it has been within the past twenty years. In the mean time the causes which retarded the city’s progress have been partially or entirely removed.— War no longer diverts thousands of her citizens from the pursuits of honest industry {'national taxation has been res duced, and more equitably adjusted, while the currency of the country has appreciated. In addition to all this, Chi cago has recently shown a determina tion to abandon a dependence*on com merce alone, and proved her capacity for manufacturing industry. In view of all ihese auspicious circumstances, it is impossible to doubt that Resurgam would form a true aud appropriate mot to for the devastated city. Swekt It is a sweet, sweet song, flowing to and fro among the topmost boughs#of the heart, and fills the air with such joy and gladness as the soDgs of birds do, when the sum mer morning comes out of the darkness and the day is born on the mountains- We have all our possessions in the, future, which'we call “sometime.” Beautiful flowers and sweet singing birds are there, only our hands seldom grasp the one, or our ears hear, except the faint far-off strains, the other. But O, reader, be of good cheer, for to all the good there is a golden “some time” When the hills and valleys of time are all past, and when the fever disap pointments and sorrow of life are over then there is the peace, and the rest ap pointed of God. O, homestead, over whose blessed roofs no sorrow, even of clouds ; across whose threshold the voice of sorrow is never heard ; built npon eternal hills, and standing with thy spires and pin nacles of celestial beauty among the palm trees of the city on high, those who love God shall rest under thy shad", owe, where there is no more sorrow, nor pain, ndr the sound of weeping. , —.——- Blondin, the great tight rope walker* seems determined to invent a feat in his rope-walking which shall finish him at last. At late perform ance to be given at the Crystal Palace •at Sydenham—it had not corne off by last accounts —the tall masts that support the ropes were to be covered with fire-works from the ground to the top. When all these were well going, Blonding was to walk forth on the rope bearing a great piece of pyroiechny ‘weighing about three hundred pounds,’ which he would forthwith pmejd to discharge Irom “the altitude in the center of the rope-’’ At the same time shells and mines we're to be exploded in every direction, and the advetisment announces with much gusto that Blons din “will thus be encircled with fire for nearly tea minutes.’' This is a barbarous performance for the nines teenth century. Macon, October 23—The exhibi tion of the State Fair is the largest ever held in the South. The city is thonged with visitors, and all incoming trains are crowded, are provided for all* Sue fir era Relieving the Suffering It is melancholy to reflect that, while Governor Henry P. Bvldwin, of Mich igan, was writing his proclamation asking the people of his State to re spond to the call for the relief of the sufferers in Chicago, a vast portion of his own state was being devastated by the fire furies ; whole villages were de ing destroyed, many lives lost, and hundreds rendered shelterless. The horrors of some of the scenes in Mich igan almost rival in intensity those that have been described us having occurred iu Chicago. FIFTY YEARS IN THE FIELD. The New York Observer is about celebrating its judilee, entering upon tit lie th year in 1872. It is one of the oldest newspapers in the country one of the aldest, and one of the most steadfast and fearless in maintaining the truth in religion, the righbin mor-» aisj and honesty in all public and pri vate affairs.* It announces for the com ing year, the publication of the second volume of its Year-Jlook ; a v t ast repos itory® of information, statistical and otherwise; relating both to Church and State, which will be sent free to all who pay their subscriptions for 1872.
