NOVEL EXHIBITION,

OuE attention was arrested on Sabbath last by
q gay cortegc which passed our cottage about
noon. 1t consisted Of some eight or ten young
men. who had piled on the =" foreign aid of orna-
ment' in novel and extraordinary manner.
Their caps especially attracted our observation
fancy-colored and trimmed with long and nutter-
ing ribbons Of every hue. We saw nothing at all
improper in the behaviour of the cavalcadc, nor
have VIC heard of any thing of the sort. II seem.
ed to be nothing more than freak of youthful
fancy-and we confess that we thought there was
something picturesque in the appearance of each
cavalier, as he dashed along, "all decked in
streaIners gay' Ii reminded us Of something be-
tween the Guerrilla and Troubadour. The only
serious objection TO the affair that it happened
on Sunday. And yet throughout one half of
Christendom, this is the very day selected for
amusemcnts of this description. All over the con-
tinent of Europe, they are sanctioned rs we'll by
Professionalism as Catholicism. But l,cre we have
stricier, if not better notions upon this subject,
and many feel scandalizcd by the least approach
to gaiety on the Sabbath. The happy medium is
seldom found. So wass the world.

INDICATIONS FROM GEORGIA.

WE have read several long articles by contri-
butor to the Columbus Times, which are, we
fear. correct indications of the course things will
speedily take in Georgia The writer is men,
ber of the "Southern Rights" party of that State,
and, we Judge, n very sensible one. The course
he recommends is that the Southern Rights party
coalesce at once with the COBB, STErHENs and
TooMDs par,y-and that, with their united
strength, they join the general Democratic party
of the Union. The very name of " Southern
Rights is to be abandoned in the new orr MIA
ton This is precisely what we sonnet. since
declared to be our apprehension. If our Cooper
ation fricnds expect to work with any party in
Georgia, we believe they can only do so by joining
as the Gcorgians will do, the Democratic party o.
the Union. Where then will be your united South
ern resistance!

To the Co-opcratiOnists Of the Fifth Congress
si0nal District
The undersigned has learned with regret that
his withdrawal from the canvass for the South
crn Congress, has provoked the displcasure OF
some of his political friends.
lie fancics it a duty which lie owes to lis
friends Of Abbcvillc, BY whom he was nominated,
and a propricty 10 the Cooperation party gene
rally, that he should give publicity to the con-
sidcrations which impcllcd him thereto.
At the Cooperation meeting at the Ridge, he
was Informed that on the Saturday before, the
Hon. T. C. PERRIN, Of Abbcvillc, together with
himself. had been nominated for the Southern
Congress, but that upon further conference by
the party in Edgclicld, our names had been sub
scqucntly Withdrawn from the printer, because
Of the suggestion, that opposition TO the scccs-
sion candidates would but swell the secession
vote. and if no opposition was offered tlc gene
raj vote would be so mcagrc, that the moral cf-
feet of it would be disastrous to that party"
Mr.. BURT in his speech advised against running
cooperation candidates, and gave reasons, which
seemed good to a majority of our party.
About week afterwards my attention was
directed to the nomination Of DR.. WARDLAw and
myself, in the Abberillc Banner enclosed the
advertisement to al influential gentleman of tho
party, in short note saying, the nomination
ought to be Immediately confirmed by tho party
in this District or the nominees withdrawn"
The meeting at DoRS's on the Goth utmo, which
assembled leading Co-opcrationists from differ
cnt quarters Of the District, presented a fit OPP
portunty Of ratifying it, as was the custom in
other Districts; and l suggested to two of my
personal friends the proprety of doing so on that
occasion. as also The embarrassment of my posi-
ton, should it not be done. These gentlemen
communicated with several others of the party,
and was informed that the same considerations
which had caused the withdrawal of Mr.. PERRIN
and myself, still operated with the party, and
indeed the members then present, to decline
ratification of tho Abbcvillc nominaton-tat no
personal or political objection existed towards
either DR.. WAnDLAw or myself, and that the
refusal Of the party TO confirm our nomination,
resulted from doubt as TO the p9licy Of crea-
ting party contest.
Now let the facts above given be connected:
lst, That my name had once been withdrawn,
because it was deemed advisable to avoid party
contcst-and
2nd, For the same reason. the party refused
at DoEN's to rati(y the Abbcvillc nomination,
though the propricty of 50 doing was suggested,
and il is submitted 10 a spirited community that
| could not have continued candidate without
forfeiture Of self respect. am always ready TO
render honorable service TO my party, but can
never avail myself Of Il nomination made out Of
my District, to force myself, even in seeming,
upon the party in it.

The meeting commepccd OH Saturday, before
the third Sabbath in August last, and continued
until the next Friday, with manifestations of great
good, and at the close of the meeting, there were
several candidates for baptism, besides a great
many seeking souls-baptism was postponed un-
til the next regular meeting, when it was pro-
posed to have three days meeting, to commence
on Friday before the third Sunday in September,
and at that meeting on Sunday, twcnty-scrcn
converts followed their Saviour into the liquid
grave, by baptism. The meeting on that day was
so interesting, it was proposed to continue few
days longer, and it went on with increased inter-
est until next Sabbath, when thirty-ive more
were added to the Church by baptism, and the
meeting broke up under very favorable circum-
stances, many crying ont in the bitterness Of
their souls saving, "what shall we do TO be saved"
The result was that at the meeting in October,
eleven more were baptized, making in all seven

THE CROpS.-.HARD TIMES A COMING.

VIZ pronounced the opinion, some months back
that the Cotton crop in this section would be an
average one. The idea was almost laughed AT by
a good many Of our readers. We must think,
nevertheless, that the opinion was very nearly
correct one. 1t was expressed before the Wet and
bligh,ing season which caused cotton to shed in Il
manner so unusual. Had this not occurred, the
crop would undoubtedly have been. as we have
said an average one. Even as it is. we do not
believe it will fall very far short of our rprcctoA.
In some sections of our District the crop is very
inferior-in others, quite as good as ever. While
some are not making two hundred weight TO the
acre, others claim as high as eight hundred. Upon
the whole, we believe now that the Cotton crop
Of the District will fall below an average one.
Corn is destined to be very scarce throughout
the ensuing season. 1t is now selling from the
heap at one dollar per buSlcl If this be the price
Just at the time when the new crop is pouring in,
what will it be when the latter end of that crop
being consumed! We don't look for q famine
exactly, but we fear our people will experience
plagued pinching times about the middle Of next
summer. Let the small grain crops be largely
increased, and much of the evil may be averted
Fatten only your best hogs-and save as much
corn as possible. Let those farmers who have tho
biggest and fullest granaries be the most guarded
against wastcfulness, and they may have the sails
faction of supplying many a less fortunate indi-
vidual with his meal next year-lt dollar
bushel of course. Let him whose corn crib is
shallow at the beginning, Use Yankee economy

let him count the ears and watch the very grains.
