Cotton Manufacturing in Georgia.

The surprising success of the cot
ton factory at Augusta, Georgia, has
more than once been instanced as an
example of the profitable nature Of
such an undertaking, and it is encour-
aging to add now that in other por-
tiOns of the same State cotton factories
are fourishing and enjoy an excep-
tional prosperity such as is unknown
at present in New England manuflc-
turing districts. Inquiries received
from the North lead the Columbus
Enquirer to give some interesting III
formation concerning the factories in
operation in that town. 1t appears
that there are seven cotton and woolen
mills running, built on the ruins Of
those burned during the war. They
are working 45, 900 spindles and l 800
looms and take about 5000 bales of
cotton annually. The ChattahOochee
river, on which Columbes is located,
furnishes the motive power, having a
fall of one hundred and twenty feet in
three miles. The present dam in the
river will run $50, 600 spindles, and it
is estimated that the river will give
power enough for million and quar-
ter spindles, providing employment for
at least sixty thousand people. New
factories are to be started shortly, and
at other points in Georgia the same
spirit of development is at work. At
lanta is about to organize company
to build large factory, and ill other
places there are indications of progress
in the same direction giving cheering
evidences that a new era of prosperity
| for the South il ut hand.

The reoular Vicksburo and Dam

The regular Vicksburg and Dun
cansby packet, B. H. Hart, which
left Vicksburg at one o'clock in the
afternoon, Friday, was reported sunk
Friday night thirty miles above there
at the foot of Island No. 102. The
cause was running against drifswoed.
Hardy Hend, the clerk. jumped over
board and was drowned. Ten or
fifteen negro deck passengers are sup
posed to be lost. The cargo will
probably I've total loss.
By an act of Congress, approved
March Sd, 1875, the rate of postage
ON all third-class mail Is now one cent
for each ounce or fraction thereof, in
gstead of one cent for two ounces as
heretofore. The above rate of one
cent per ounce embraces all PAM
phlets, occasional publications, tran
sient newspapers, magazines, hand
bills, posters, unsealed circulars, pros
pectuses, books, merchandise, seeds,
cuttings, bulbs, roots, ETC., and all
third-class mail matter.
The news about the new daily paper
about to be established in opposition
to the London Times becomes more
and more defined. 1t is stated that
American money will be found to
start the paper, and that the Ameri-
can system of obtaining information
at any cost will he followed. Among
the persons named in connection with
the scheme are Mr. Edward Yates,
Mr. J. d. Bowie editor of Vanity
Fair), Mr. J. Gordon Bennett New
York Hcrald), Mr. Labouchere, and
Others.
A red-hot meteor fell near West
Liberty, in the eastern part of Iowa,
on the 18th ult., sinking fifteen feet
into the ground, and making a hole
ten feet in diameter. For hours il
continued to spit forth flames, crackle,
sputter, and smoke, and occasionally
discharge cannon-like reports, to the
infinite terror of the people in the vi
cinity. None dared approach while
this miniature volcano continued in
action, but with the cessation of life
hundreds gathered around to investi.
gate the wonder.
1t turns out that the fourth fire in
the Navy Department, heretofore re-
ported exclusively in the Journal Of
Commerce, was in the room adjoining
that where the deparH.:ent accounts
with Jay Cooke & McCulloch were
kept. The records we're disarranged
and much damaged by water, and
when wanted will probably be report
ed as destroyed. Just before the fire
the clerk in charge was given leave
Of absence. The cause assigned fol
this was illness, but he remained in
the city.

quiet way delivered a very effectual
rebuke to certain thoughtless members
of the congregation who had been dis
turbing the services. When he had
finished his sermon, he looked toward
the quarter of the church from whence
the disturbance came, as if about to
say something to the wrong doors. but
seemed to change his mind, and then
in mild way said Let US pray. The
PRAYER ended, without any passion or
improper feeling, h,~aid that he tried
to preach as best he could, that he
had been as correct and consistent in
all his duties as he knew how to be,
but that perhaps he failed in one par
ticular. He had not been in the habit
of reproving people in the congrega-
ton. In this he thought he might
have erred. but craved pardon, for
the reason that hesupposed the Offend
ers knew no better. This was all he
said, but it was enough, and good or
der now reigns in that congregation.

A lady correspondent Of ours sends
the following note, and asks our
opinion:
Upon reading the papers, find the
United States Senators do not know
who to propose for the coming Presi-
dental election; | therefore suggest
the name of John c. Breckinriige, OF
Kentucky, as a nominee, knowing
him to be an honorable gentleman,
and one, that | think viii make a
No. | President.
We agree with her as to the
qualifications of Mr. Breckenridge, and
have no doubt but he would make a
No. l President, if We could elect him.
Unfortunately, though. he "wore the
gray" and was rather conspicuous in
the late unpleasantness; conse-
quently, We don't believe the people
of the North would support him for
that high Office. If Kentucky would
send him to the u. S. Senate, he
could serve his whole country to ad,
vantage.

ARoRTrvE ARBITRATION.
Col. Sam Tzte's Bis Claim Against
tsle Louisville and Nashville
Rai.roRd foupsuy-rwo En-
GOyprno-- or Tennessee
the krbitrafors.

Ex-Goverrprs John c. Brown and
Isham II. Harris returned TO Nash
Vile, Yesterday. from Louisville,
where they went TO act as arhitrators
in suit between Col. Sam Tate and
others, of this State, and the Louis
villeand Nashville Railroad Company.
Col. Tate claimed that large sum Of
money was due him from the company,
being the accumulated interest and
gold premium on 100000 worth
Of bonds which he had disposed of for
that road in New York over three
wears ago. In June, 1873, the direc-
tors Of the Louisville and Nashville
railroad adopted a resolution agreeing
to allow the claim to be settled by
arbitration, aud written agreement
was made to that effect. Nothing
seems to have been done in. the mat
ter, however, until December last,
when an arbitration committee was
appointed. Ex-Governor Harris, Of
this State, and Mr. John Roberts, of
Louisville, were chosen by both
parties, and it was agreed that these
two should choose a third arbitrator.
Ex-Governor Brown was then ap-
pointed. A week ago, ex-Governors
Brown and Harris and Col. Tate, to-
gether with hlsatt0rney, Col. McCrea,
of Memuuis. arrived i'm Louisville,
where the arbitration was to be held,
and on Thursday the arbitration COM
mittee commenced to receive the evil
dence, which was quite voluminous,
the whole of Thursday and Friday
being devoted to the work. On
Saturday Judge Houston commenced
the argumentin the case for the Louis
vile and Nashville Railroad Compa-
nv, and was followed by Col. McCrea
, for Col, Tate and associates. Being
unable TO conclude the argument on
Saturday, it was again commenced on
Tuesday, when Isaac Caldwell, Esq,
closed the case for the railroad
company On Tuesday evening it
was submitted to the arbitration COM
mittee, ami on Wednesday they an
nounced themselves ready to give a
decision. Before any decision could
be rendered, however, the attorneys
for the railroad company appeared
before the committee and informed
them that the directors had concluded
not TO submit to their decision, whether
favorable or unfavorable. Col. Tate,
nevertheless, dem lnded TO know their
decision, and they thereupon announced
that they had decided that Col. Tate
and his ass Jciates we're entitled to
So, 400 ON their claim, from the
railroad company. This ended the
arbitration 1t is probable the whole
matter will he brought before the

THE CHANGERS.

The Ohio oranges have contributed
s7,064 to ther suffering brethren in
the west.
Matters have been arranged for fra
ternal relations between the National
Grange and the Dominion Grange of
Canada.
The grange has good foundation
in Canada. There is one Dominion
Grange, five division, and eighty-three
subordinate oranges in Ontario.
The Ohio State Grange met last
week, between one and two hundred
delegates being in attendance. The
annual report of the Secretary shows
that at the beginning Of the year for
which the report is made, there was
GIT Oranges Ohio, while now there
are 1.146 Oranges in the State III
good working order, with 60, 600 mem
bers. Last year only about one half
the counties were represented at the
State Convention, while now each
county is represented.
The Ohio State Grange of Patrons
of Husbandry, Friday, declared by
resolution that it "can in no wise
sanction the course of the national
grange at its last meeting at Cha. les
ton, so far as itrelates to the adoption
of resolution recommending congress
to grant government aid to tie Texas
Pacific railroad that this action on its
part is a violation of the fifth section
Of our national declaration of princi-
Piles and unwise, tending to foster cor
ruption and monopolie;, upon which
we had set our seal of condemnation.
This resolution drew out a very
lengthy discussion and considerable
feeling.

Civil Rights in ~ New England Church

Last Sunday, Civil Rights privi-
leges were awarded to two colOred
ladies at Trinity Episcopal Church at
Newport, r. l., the most aristOcratic
place of worship in the city, and one
visited almost exclusively by the elite
of the place and by summer visitors.
The ladies were shown to a vestry-
mans pew, who they represented to
the sexton had invited them. The
vestryman was absent, and the sexton
at once showed them the desired pew,
which was occupied by two ladies who
were strangers, and who had previously
been shown in. The latter were
highly indignant at what they termed
an outrage, and at once arose and in
dignantly left the church. The objects
of the attention of all present (the
cnlored ladies) remained. This is the
topic of conversation here, as it is the
first time a colored person was ever
admitted to prominent seat in that
church, and it remains to be seen
whether the sexton or vestryman will
he censured by the corporation.-
