NEW YORK.

i NEW YORK, November ll.-A lette
from Macon, Ga, says the evidences o
returning prosperity in the South are es
peoially noticeable. Although the cottoI
crop is much less than the planters ex'
pected, and prices much lower than they
hoped, yet the country is generally pros
porous. During the past week large
proportion of the notes of planters in this
part of the State to their merchants and
factors fell due, and not one has been
probationary one was paid in full at
maturity. The laborers are contsnted,
| and, Notwithstanding the recent Labor
Convention, are contracting largely 10
work another year with the same employ
ers. The laborers who made these en-
gsgements we're we'll and fairly treated
and literally compensated. The country
is perfectly tranquil. There are re-
markably few cases of crime, and none
of an aggravated character. Politics
are neither spoken or thought of. The
fair price of cotton fertilizers and the
next crop are the all engrossing subjects
for thought and discussion.
The Herald concludes that the activity
in naval matters, the order for the Mean
tomsh to be ready for sea, the ordering
into commission aud fitting out rapidly
of the Tsustina and two other vessels,
aud the sudden transfer of stores and
army supplies to the frigate Albany, with
orders for the vessels to sail imm edistely
for Cubs, and other important move
ments, indicate that the Government is
about to take decisive course on the
question, and In favor of Cuban indie.

To the public.

Having been requested nv mutual
friends of Col. DuBose and Col. Galla-
vay to interpose our good Offices to settle
the pending difficulty between these gen.
tlemen, they, acting upon the request OF
those friends, have suspended their cor
respondence, intending to submit to our
arbitrament. Under these circumstances
we have investigated the corresponds nee
and it's causes, and we see no impeachment
whatever to an honorable adjustment
We have carefully examined the ar
ticle in the evening LEDGER Of Saturday,
the 6 II instant and are satisfied that the
intent of the editor was to make severe
political attack upon the Avalanche as a
political opponent, without intending
personal offense to Colonel Galloway;
but the language employed is susceptible
Of an offensive construction, and we
doubt not that the article in the Ara.
lanche of the 7th instant, in reply, was
based upon that Interpretation.
This article is personally offensive, aud
evidently intended go to be. n
The character of this article fully JUS
tifes Colonel DuBose in demanding a
retraction of the offensive terms OF that
editorial.
The note of Colonel Gallawsy of the
9Th instant decling to retract, states as
The reason for declining that he con-
strued the LEDGER article to have been
intended as personally offensive.
The position taken BY Colonel DaBose
in bis note of the 9th instant, as to the
construction Of the LEDGER article. we
think legitimate, and affords arguendo,
an assurance of what we regard as the
true construction of that article.
This is, in our opinion, sufficient
disclaimer Ct personal offensive intent,
and we think should be followed by a
withdrawal of the Avalanche article.
