editor of the Cincinnati Enquirer, are bro.

Heavy Rains fin Georgia-Cotton.C Good.


AUGUSTA, August 27.-The rains for the
past two weeks have been unprecedent-
eddy severe. Accounts from middle,
southern, and southwestern Georgia and
Florida, where the cotton prospect had
been so promising, now give most gloomy
picture. Continued rains have beaten off
the blooms, and the worm and caterpillar
have done serious damage. 1t is believed
that fair crop was made before the rains.
1t is raining hard here.
SAVANNAH, August 27.-Heavy rains
continue throughout the seaboard. Plant
ers at all points say the crop is already
greatly damaged, and if the rain continues
serious damage will result. In Brooks
county heavy rains have fallen daily for
six weeks.

An ACROBAT GETS A FALL-NARRow
ESCAPE FROM DEATH.-On Saturday after
noon last, while Mr.. Robert Delaney, Of
Robinson's circus, was performing on the
trapeze, rope gave way, and, to the hor-
ror Of the audience, he was precipitated
headforemost distance of twenty-odd
feet to the arena below. 1t appears that
be was balancing himself on his back on
the horizontal bar that forms part Of the
trapeZe, and was about to drop and catch
himself by his feet, when something gave
way, and down he came headlong.
A thrill Of horror shot like an electric
current through the whole audience, and
an involuntary cry of suppressed agony
arose from majority Of the spectators
during his momentary flight. 1t was the
general impression that he would fall on
his head and break his neck, and so he
would have done but for his presence of
mind and agility, by which he was enabled
to give his body twist, and so turn his
head as to fall partly on the shoulder. AS
he fell, there he lay, apparently dead, and
the impression was general that he was
killed. His body was speedily removed
| by his comrades, and in few minutes ii
was announced that no bones were broken
and that he was only stunned. He was ii
very precarious condition, however, and
was most Hospitality received into the resi-
dence of Mr.. W. r. Jones, where the pro

the head, and severe pain in the back
were the results of the fall. He is re

The Breach Between the President,
Grant. &c.
WASHINGTON, August 27.-The breach
between the President and General Grant
is widening. General Grant is on defiant
ground with regard to the Executive as
signments of generals. He protests with
some indignation against General Han
cocks removal from the Missouri Depart
ment, and has not yet promulgated the
instructions carrying the Presidents order
into effect.
This mornings New York Tribune says a:
!" General Sheridan, in a letter to gen.
tleman of this city, says the future pros
perity Of Louisiana is now beyond ques-
tion, and assures capitalists that the bonds
recently issued have ample security"
To-day's New York IriJat,.e hugs Grant
to its bosom. The Herald drops him, say
ing: "The political position assumed by
General Grant shows our great soldier in
new light. 1t is his first development of
political genius-his first and final mis-
take. The reply of the President CON-
pletely overturned, outaanked him.
Grant does not understand the crisis. lie
clings to Sheridan and forgets principles"
