Special dispatch to the New "rK tribune
Chicago, August 21.-LatcSt dates from
Augusta, Ga, represent that the prospects
Of the cotton crop in II parts OF the State
are gloomy, on account OF the continued
drought. In southwestern Georgia, where
the yield formerly was one bale to two
acres, not more than one bale will he
raised, judging by the present prospect. 1t
is equally true of other sections.
Accounts from Florida represent the
late drought as followed by heavy rains,
which have seriously injured the cotton.
The cotton crops in Mississippi and Ala
bama are represented to be very bad on
account of the growth and ravagcs of the
boll-worm.
LOUISVILLE, August 27.-The freedmen
are getting along very well, as II general
thing, with their masters. The corn crop
will exceed any former crop. Tobacco was
never better, while the hemp, wool, and
sorghum crops are very fine.

Special dispatch 10 the New York Tribune.
ST. LovIS, August 27.-A series of for
gcrics in the name of Scott, Collins & Co.

A mysterious murder took place early
this morning. \ Bohemian woman was
found dead in her bed at ! o'clock, with
her child lying by her side. The woman
had received blow from some heavy wca-
pom. The alarm was given, but no clue to
the murderer has yet been discovered.

The Court of Appeals of Maryland has
recently decided an interesting case. The
law of Maryland provides that . hotel
keeper may protect himself from liability
for "money, plate, and jcwelry," by re-
quiring his guests to deposit such articles
in his care. The proprietor of the Maltby
House, of Baltimore, was sued for ninety
dollars in money, and the value of watch,
watch-guard, and pocket-book stolen from
a guest. The court decided that the hotel-
keeper must pay for the stolen articles,
saying that q guest must be allowed to
keep about him such an amount of money
as was necessary for his personal expenses
at the risk of the proprietor, and that the
other articles must be paid for also, be-
cause they were neither "money, plate nor
icwclry."

Demonstrations OF Respect on the
Route - Grand Reception In New
York. 70
New York, August 29.-The President
was met by delegations and crowds of per.
sons at Burlington and Trenton, where
demonstrations Of respect was paid. He ar
rived here this afternoon, and while crossing
the river laundering salutes were fired.
At the pier he was received by the differ
ent municipal committees and citizens,
amongst whom were Alexander 7. Stew
art, William B. Astor, Commodore Van
derbilt, Moses Taylor, and others. He was
then escorted to the City Hall, where
Mayor Hoffman welcomed him formally to
the great metropolis, to which he replied
in felictous terms. Subsequently the
heads of the city departments were pre-
sented, and shortly afterwards the Presi-
dent was escorted up Broadway by mill
tary and civic procession, and finally to
Delmonico's, corner of Fourteenth and
Fifth avenues. There the military passed in
review of the President, the officers salu-
ting, and the soldiers and citizens cheer
ing.
This evening the President sand party
will participate in a splendid banquet ut
Delmonico's, and afterwards proceed to the
Fifth-avenue Hotel. The march of the
procession was witnessed by hundreds OF
thousands of spectators, the number ex-
ceedng, if possible, that which lined that
great thoroughiarc on the occasion of fune-
raj honors to the late President. The civil
and military authorities co0perated with
the Citizens and Merchants Committee
with remarkable unanimity, and thus gave
to their distinguished guest the grandest
reception ever accorded to any public per-
sonage during our day; and the genuine
enthusiasm seems to mark it also as a
spontaneous ovation of the people to the
champion of their rights and liberties.

4 PRISONER ESCAPES FROM THE NARY
LAND PENITENTIARY.-A mau named
George Gamble, aged twenty -four years,
on Friday night effected his escape from
the Maryland penitentiary by an ingenious
device. He procured straw or other ma
terial and made figure like man, which
he placed on his bed. Previous to the
hour of locking up, Gamble, having the
privilege of the yard, had concealed him
self therein, and waited until Waterman
Stubbins had gone into the building, when
he used the plank to enable him to scale
the penitentiary wall. With the aid of
some wire, used in the weaving depart
ment, which he found in the yard and
made into IL rope, he lowered himself to
the Jail wall, and then easily reached the
ground on the outside.
