The GeorRfa Cotton Crop

A correspondent of the New York Times
says:
From all have seen and heard [ do not
believe that the cotton crop of Georgia for
this year will exceed 5000 bales, or less
than half the crop of 1860, while there are
many intelligent and we'll informed persons

A man like Horace Greeley, who has
been identified with the Republican party
since its organization-who helped found
it. and has continued to assist in keeping
it supreme-can now look at the country,
and behold the fruits of his labors. How
ever conscientious he might have been,
there is that in the outlook to appall him.
The negroes no better off in any sense than
they were. One million of our young men
dead. Widows and orphans scattered from
Maine to Texas, and living IN such sorrow
as God only knoweth. A debt which
trammels industry. Alienation between
the Northern and Southern States, which
is practical disunion, whatever the cry for
Union may be-practically disunion more
complete than the success of the Confede-
racy would have involved. The debauchery
of public sentiment, a necessary conconl-
tant of war. We envy no man who can
look at the condition of the nation, and say

The Cost of Radical Rule.

Said Mr.. MCCULLoCH in March, 1868
1t is exceedingly desirable that taxes should be
reduced, and I should hPil with pleasure the pro-
posed reduction if felt assured that it would be
accompanied with a corresponding reduction of ex-
peudlt Ires. am free to say that I am greatly
apprehensive that such reduction of expendi-
lures will not be made. and that the revenues of
the country for the next fiscal year, if the bill now
before the Senate, or in the hands OF your COM
mlttee, should become a law, will be insufficient
to meet the interest on the public debt and the
current expense Of the Government.
The bill thus objected to did become a
law, the Radicals in Congress needing new
offices to bestow upon their friends and
supporters. The public expenditure, in.
stead Of being reduced, was increased.
Says the Director of the Statistical Bu-
reau in September, 1868:
To meet the $475, 959. POP So of expenditures for
1869 we shall have the following receipts:
Registers Receipts:
customs. ...-........ $50. 0OO, DOC

ing gold premiulal. 100000 -s279, 500. 900

Thus it the Treasury endeavors to meet it's cur
rent expenditures this year Ito say nothing of
matured claims deferred. Or of the Postoffice de-
iclency,) it will show deficit of $154 339 ,202 rs
at the end O. the year. to be obtained by ncreas-

A Beautiful Incident.

A naval officer being at sea in deadful
storm, his wife, who was sitting in the
cabin near him and filled with alarm for
the safety of the vessel, was so surprised at
his composure and serenity that she cried
out
" My dear, are you not afraid? How is
it possible you can be calm in such dread
full storm %
He rose from his chair, dashed to the
deck, and supporting himself by pillar of
the bed place, drew his sword and point
ing to the breast of his wife, exclaimed,
:" Are you not afraid p
She instantly answered, "No."
"Why ?" said the officer.
Because" rejoined the lady, "I know
that this sword is in the hand of my hus-
band, land heiloves me too wellto hurt me. :"
"Then," said he, remember, I know
whom believe, and that He holds the
winds and the water in the hollow of His
hands,"

From the Houston (Texas) Times, SEPT. H.
a Singular Casa Corpse Sits up In Bed
and Moves its Limbs

and Moves its Limbs
A good deal of talk has been excited by
the following singular circumstances on the
other side of the bayou On Thursday
night at an early hour, a carpenter, who
had been in ill health for some time past,
to all appearances died. There was not q
sign of animation left !; he was pronounced
dead by his attending physician, was
dressed in his grave clothes and laid out
for burial. His friends in Galveston were
telegraphed to come and attend his funeral.
1t was about P NJ, when he was pro-
nounced dead, and preparations were made
for his burial About day break yesterday
morning he suddenly rose up in his bed,
without having given, up to that time, a
single indication of life. He WAS unable
to speak, pulseless, cold, and, with the ex-
ception that he was able to sit upright and
moved his arms and hands, still appeared
corpse. Not the faintest respiration
could be discovered, nor did the eyes,
though open, give any indication of any
thing but death. His physician was i'm
mediately sent for who, on entering the
room, was utterly befuddled at the singu-
lar case. Restoratives, stimulants and
everything else likely to be of service,
were applied, but the breath refused to re-
turn, the pulse to beat and the body to
grow warm. The muscular power to rise
in the bed and move the limbs continued
and was exercised frequently during five
hours, when that also apparently ceased
forever, and the carpenter was left as per-
feet specimen of a corpse as could posi-

claim your prerogative!
How to Sustain a Local Paper.
Upon this subject, the PainesvillG
Telegraph makes the following
ironical suggestions, which every
country publisher will appreciate;
Let the members of each religi.
GUS denomination in the place
abuse the Editor whenever he
chances to mention the doings OF
any church but their own-and ac-
cuse him of "running his paper"
for the special benefit of that
church.
Again; Let every one who has
a little job ofprinting give it to run
ners from offices in large cities, if
they will do it for a few cents less
than your local office can do it.
But especially let the County Off
GERS give all their job work to Of
| fees at distance, on the plea of
saving few dollars to the county.
We know a county where there
are two good job offices, capable OF
doining all the work needed by the
county officers, and vet a few weeks
ago a runner from Springfield call
ed at the Court House, and took
orders for blanks from every office
but one. That is, large amount
of the taxes of that county are ev-
cry year paid to parties outside of
the county for work that could and
should be done in the county,
Now, is it economy to send all
this money out of that county,
never to return, when it might be
kept within the county, and help
argument the business Of the coun-
ty? That money, kept at home,
by employing home labOrers, would
have soon been distributed among
the merchants and farmers of the
county. and been ready to return
again as taxes to the county's treas
ury next year. But, when sent a
hundred miles away, not man in
that county is benefited. We claim
I'll at the use of that money among
the people of that county is worth
far more than the few dollars saved
on the county printing.
That sort Of free trade is wrong
But, if it is to be practiced in the
matter of printing, why not applyit
also in the matter of writing, and
send to the officers of the large
counties to do the writing for the
small ones. Doubtless their facili
ties will enable them to do it much
cheaper than it is now being done.
If the above sort of economy is to
prevail, we venture to suggest to
the tax payers of such county the
propriety of letting the county wri-
ting to the lowest bidder, AMI thus
save hundreds of dole RS.
Another excellent way to sustain
a local paper, and make it a useful
and influential sheet, is for every
subscriber to feel that the editor is
under special obligations to consult
his (the subscriber's) personal in
terests and opinions; and, if he
writes or publishes anything that
conflicts with these, write him a
note blowing him up, or ordering
him to stop the paper-for what is
the use of a local paper if it cannot
be edited by each subscriber.
Again: Whenever you call to pay
for the paper, be sure to complain
of the high price asked for it, and
tell the Editor that you can get the
N. Y. Tribune, or World, or Her
aid, for half the money.
Lastly: Subscribe for q distant
city paper-and then borrow your
neighbors local paper to find out
what is passing within your own
neighborhood.
