Falling Off In Receipts of the Staple ?nd Increase or tue jfixport. NEW YORK, September 10. lae movement for the week shows a de? crease in the receipts and an increase ia the exports, as compared with those of last year. We commence with this week the new cotton year, and make comparisons accordingly The receipts at all of the ports for the week have been 9137 bales, against 7579 the last week, 7844 the previous week, and 7630 three weeks since. The total receipts since Septem- J ber 1st have been 9137 bales, against 11,104 for the corresponding period ot the previous year, showing a decrease of 1967 bales in favor of the present season. The exports from all the ports for the week have been 10,193 bales, against 3704 tor tue same week last year. The total exports for the expired portion of the cotton year amount to 10,198 bi*?s. against 3701 for the same time last year. The present stock, as compared with that ot last year, is as follows : Sept. io, 1871. Sept. 10, 1870. At all U. S. ports.93,001 54,723 At interior towns. 10,221 13,638 At Liverpool.521,000 494.000 American cotton afloat for Great Britain. 53 000 16,000 Indian cotton afloat for Europe.633,894 478,140 The weather South during the week was generally unfavorable. Rain-storms have pre? vailed on the south Atlantic coast. These tave extended into the interior to a certain -extent, and there i3 reason to lear damage to the crop thereby. ALL ABOUT TUE CROPS. The Oat-Look in Chester. A correspondent of the Lancaster Ledger, who his been thro igb the whole county, esti-1 mates the crops of Chester at one-fourth of thal cf last year. Corn will average better [ than last year. Sad Accounts of Cotton and Rice. A Charleston factor allows THE NEWS to make the following extracts from the letters of j trustworthy correspondents: WADMALAW ISLAND, September 5. The crops were severely injured by the late etc rm, certainly cut off one-third. EDISTO, September 4. The cotton crop bas been very much dam- j aged by the storm, and we are lust realizing the extent of the injury. Good judges esti? mate the damage ar one-third of the promised [ yield of a few weeks back; this is considered Hi minimum loss. Oe ALA, FLA., September 4. The crops have been seriously damaged by Storm ? do not think more than a third of a crop can be made. The storm here was fright? ful. No malls tor two weeks. GRAHAMVILLE, S. C., September 7. We have just passed through a severe storm, and now are having weather ten times worse; constant showers, with damp, hot weather, which is enough to sprout the rice standing in the fields. The accounts from all directions are of heavy losses In rice and cotton. If we do not have cool and clear weather soon, the crops wlil turn out badly. The Harvest in Georgetown. The Times says : "The rice harvest ls In full blast, and the rice birds are in swarms ol thou ^gands and tens ol thousands. The weather has sFoeen unusually cool and clear until Tuesday night, when it commenced to rain. As we write, just before going to press, the tempera? ture ls much warmer, and the clouds indicate that more rain may be expected, and to the great Inconvenience -nd probable loss to the planter.'' Laurens Fall? Short. A correspondent, writing on the 7th, says : * 'Since my last we have had a plenty of rain, succeeded by pleasant weather, which has en- i abled the farmers to put in a large breadth of | turnips. The corn crop will be better than was teared for a while, but the cotton will fall far short of any crop of late years. Much fod? der has been damaged, but the hay that is generally being saved, with a good turnip crop, will perhaps be equal to the wants ot the stock that will be kept here." The Prospect of High Prices. Mr. William M. Lawton, of Charleston, in a letter to General Hagood, dated Eastham, August 8. says : "If our crop of cotton falls below 3,500,000 bales, high prices will surely rtile the coming season; but lt must not be Sreseed too freely on Bale. The consumption i very large, and spinners fully employed. I know of one firm of sea Island spinners who are clearing ?4000 per week at their mills." A Half Crop in Inion. The Times says: "Cc ton has Improved a little since the drought ceased, but the crop will be a very short r>ne. The rain has en? larged the bolls and improved the fibre, but done nothing more; and if the crop reaches one-half au average, we shall be agreeably dis? appointed. Although it will be much short of | last year's yield, lt has been made at less ex ?ense; and if it is not torced into market too astily, we believe the advance price will make it more remunerative to the planters than the heavy crop ot the year just closed." Bad for Breadstuff*. The Walhalla Courier says: "In our county reports of great Injury to the corn crop from the late freshet comes from every quarter. The bottoms of the Keowee, T?galo, Little River and Cane Creek, with their tributaries, were completely flooded, and several farmers ?consider the Injury from this cause will prove more serious than from the drought. The up? lands cannot average a halt' crop.'' COTTON ly OTUER STATES. Thc Cyclone in Georgia-Immense Dam V. age to Crops and Railroads. The Augusta Constitutionalist says: Last Wednesday a terrific gale, accompanied by heavy rain, swept over the country, be? tween Milledgevllle and Macon, prostrating the cotton and blowing down fences. The floods did great damage to the Macon and Au? gusta Railroad and the Central Railroad. On the latter, the track was washed up lor some .distance, and several culverts and trestle ?orks were carried away. The passenger train hlch left Augusta at 12 o'clock Wednesday, on this road, was stopped at Roberts's Station by employees of the road who gave the con? ductor intormatloa ot the break in front, an'l almost at the same time nf ?va was received ot the damage which had happened to the t"flck In the rear of the train since its passage, thus cutting it off completely. The cyclone extend? ed as far down as Burke County, doing great Injury to the cotton in that section, and was more severe than any storm experienced there tor years. Other counties yet to hear from, no doubt, have been equally damaged. Tblj storm has, perhaps, done greater injury to the crops than the cyclone which d^pas tated the coast some time since, as il passed over a larger tract of country and Immediately through thc cotton belt. Blore Bad Accounts from Georgia. TheAlabany (Georgia ^ews says: Weare now in possession of reliable data from the whole of Southern and Southwestern Georgia, relative to the condition of the colton crop, and lt is our painful duty to reporta disastrous failure. This ls no sensational announcement, and is not based upon doubtlul information. The best sections ot this portion ol the State ?cannot possibly reach two-thirds ol an average ?crop, while the poorer sections will scarcely exceed one-third. The acreage or the latter being much the largest, the plain deduction is that a halt crop will not be realized. Before the recent storms and continued rains, the better lands promised a good yield, but oot a lull crop. Now the rust 13 making fearful ravages, and the caterpillar is spreading with destructive rapidity. We have direct iutelh-1 gence from nearly all the large plantations lo the Oakwood8 belt, and the concurrent tcsli-1 mon y discloses disaster everywhere. Alabama and Mississippi. The .lollowlng responsible factors o? Mobile A hare been interviewed in reference to the cot? ton crop prospects: Crawford, Walsh, Smith & Co., Toomer, Sykes & Billups, Charles Hop? kins <fc Co., Bellmore & Co., Sims. Harrison & Co.. Murphy, Agnew <fc Co., Milhouse, Shield & Co.. 3tollenwerck Bros.. Baker, Lawler &Co.. Kirk ey & Carpenter, Foster & Gardner. John A. Game & Cc, who say the accounts received from friends in Alabama and Mississippi are cf the most unfavorable character. The general complaint is damage to the growing, crop by worms and rust. The crop ls variously esti? mated at from half to two-thirds ot tnat of last year. ALL ABOUT THE STATE. -Mean whiskey killed a Georgetown colored tuan. -The telegraph poles between Anderson and Walhalla are being put up. -Another anti-Ku-Kluz mass meeting is to be held in Orangeburg on the ltith instant. -There has been an "intensa" public meet? ing at Laurensville In favor of a railsoad (rom that place to Pine House, on the Columbia and Augusta Railroad. -At a meeting of the citizens of Union Township, on Monday last, a tax ol Ave per cent was levied upon the State and county tax of the township for eclioor pnrpose?. CRIME IN THE STATE. A Desperate Knife Duel In Chesterfield. The Lancaster Ledger prints the particulars of a desperate rencontre, which took place near Zoah campground, in Chesterfield Coun? ty, on Saturday night last, between Mr. Ran? som Arant and Mr. Joseph Plyler-the former a citizen of Lancaster, and the latter living just over the State line lu Union County, N. C. It appears that a difficulty had sprung' up be? tween the parties that evening, while riding along the road on their way to attend preach? ing at the campground, which was quieted down, and, as it was thought, satisfactorily settled. Upon returning home Plyler's horse happened to kick Arant or the leg, which caused Amur, to make some id'e threat* against the horse. From this a quarrel sprung up and both of them sprang from their horses, drew their knives and went for each other about the 3ame time. Two gentlemen who were in com? pany with them endeavored to keep them apart, but both the combatants being stout men and resolute in purpose, they rushed at each other as madmen bereft of reason and insensible to danger. Tae contest continued until Aranl's knife (whose hand was wet with the blood of his antagonist.) slipped from his hand, when he seized a piece of rail and knocked Plyler down three times. Other par? ties arriving at the scene about this time'thc combatants were separated. Both Piker and Arant had been drinking cider and were a lit? tle intoxicated. Plyfer was cut In seven and Arant in five different places. It is thought both of them will recover. Another Stubbing Affray. The Union Times states that a difficulty oc? curred on the night of the 31st ult., at Cross Keys, between Joseph Smith and Wesley Bobo, in which the lalter wa* ?o severely "laooed that he now lies in a very precarious condition. It appears that a party of young men were out serenading, when a part of one of the musical instruments was dropped. In hunting for lt Smith and Bobo came in con? tact and one of them was pushed down. A slight difficulty had occurred between them some time before, and this collision renewed the ill-feeling. A scuffle ensued, when Smith plunged his knife deep into Mr. Bobo's side, reaching the liver. It ls hoped, however, the wound will not prove to be mortal. Smith immediately made his escape. A warrant has been Issued for his arrest. Both were young men-one aged nineteen, and the other twen? ty-one. PITCHING iyro GRAST. Sharp and Decisive Talk from Horace Greeley. Mr. Greeley was recently in the West at? tending agricultural conventions, but he nev? ertheless did not leave his politics at home, fa ..tassing through Chicago he was met by .lr. .'entworth and Mr. Grlnnell, formerly n. .-.uer of Congress from Iowa. In reply to some personal suggestions from the latter, he ls reported to have said: If we nominate Grant we shall certainly be defeated. The public will stand no more horse jockey and present-taking Presidents; we have had enough of them. I tell you, gentlemen, we must take a new departure, and I can as? sure you that we of the East are determined that lc shall be done. I have been rather quiet about lt so far, but I want everybody now to understand what I think. When we take hold ot Grant lt will not be with silk gloves on our hands. It has got to be done. We must throw Grant overboard, or we shall be de? feated. All I want is to have a good man nominated, who, if elected, will consent to give up the of? fice at the end of hi3 term. Besides. I want to nominate a man who, If elected, will elevate the office to where it was in former days-a man who will not take presents or use the military or his office-holders to advance his own aspirations for a second term, and in the meantime neglect the interests of those whose ruler he is. Besides, I want a man who is above mere pleasure-hunting; a man who will not dawdle away one-fourth of his term amid the follies and frivolities of a watering-place, and one who when called upon -or an expres? sion of his views on political and other sub? jects of national Interest, can give them in clear, comprehensive language. That's the kind of a man the people want, and (bringing his fist down on the table) that's the kind of a man we haven't now. I want you, gentlemen, to tell your people here in the West thal we are going to tight against Grant to the extent of our ability. We will not remain passive or indifferent, but, to use his own words, "we are going to fight it out on this Une." THE WEATHER THIS DAT. WASHINGTON*, September 10.

THE SUBSTANTIAL RESULTS OF THE AUSTUtO-GEBKAN CONFERENCE. Germany. . LONDON, September 8. The coGiei-enAt1 at Salzburg wa3 most friend? ly on both sides. The people availed them? selves cf the event to have a gala day. A grand dinner was given to-night, and there is also a brilliant illumination of the surround? ing hills. BERLIN, September P. The Kn:z Zeitung announces the result o? the negotiations at Salzburg to be as iollows : Austria and Germany repudiates aggressive idea?, and will unite closely to repel aggres? sion. ""Germany," continues the Kruz Zei? tung, "wishes Austria to be strong, and the Austrian Emperor and statesmen desire union with Italy." Tae conclave at Fulda has determined to take decisive steps against the aggressive pol? icy or Dr. Van Muhler, the Prussian minister o: ecclesiastical affairs. A joint resolution has been adopted to disregard his deorses. and petition the Reichstag and the Emperor Wil? liam for redress. France. VERSAILLES, September 9. M. Thiers, replying to congratulations of the municipality of Versailles upon the extension of his term of office, expressed the hope that the tuture of France would be fortunate, and that simultaneously with the moral and mate? rial recovery of the country, its present form ol'government would become a peaceluland glorious reality. La Patrie announces that tne Chevelier Mera read to the Minister o? For? eign Affairs a dispatch from the Cabinet of Rome favorable to the preservation of friend? ship between the two nations. Prefects have received orders to close country taverns In case petitions are signed therein (or the dissolution of the Assembly, and to annul all resolutions of municipalities aiming at the same object. Mon tandou, in the Department of Doubs, has been suspended ?rom the exercise ot his functions because he made preparations despite prohibition of the Versailles authorities to celebrate, on the 14th instant, the anniver? sary of the Inauguration of the Republic. Prince Napoleon has published a pamphlet entitled " The Truth," and addressed "To my calumniators." He declares in it that he was a stranger to the declaration of war against Germany. He went to Italy by order of the Emperor, who tried to array Italy and Austria against Prussia. He states that he offered to share the captivity of Napoleon at Wilhelms? hohe, but was refused. The report that negotiations fur the evacua? tion ot France had met with difficulties is pro? nounced false. The Prussians commence the evacuation of the departments near Paris to-morrow. VERSAILLES. September 9. The removal of the government to Paris, after four days' debate, was defeated. The trial of Rossel has terminated. His sen? tence is military degradation and death. Gam? betta will delend members of the press. Rome. ROME, September 9. The Pope has sent a letter to M. Thiers con? gratulates him upon the continuance of his term of office. The Papal journal, of to-day, contains a severe criticism upon Napoleon. The Alfieirl Society threatens to burn the Vatican. Precautions have been taken against such a crime, but in case an attempt should be made and anarchy should ensue, the person of the Pope will be protected by the flags of for? eign ambassadors. England. LONDON, September 9. Recorder Gurney, who is about to sail for t ie United States as commissioner under the treaty at Washington, replied to-day at some length to the address presented to him by the people of Southampton. He remarked that he hailed the treaty with satisfaction and delight. He was not going to Washington as in advo? cate of British or the opponent of American claims. He had been Instructed by his gov? ernment to treat all claims alike; the question of amount was unimportant. It was better to pay any sum than to raise even a suspicion ot unfairness. Gurney paid a compliment to his colleagues upon the commission, and said he was sanguine their labor would be brought to a satisfactory conclusion. A Nation"! Conference ls to be held at Birmingham, beginning 28th November, to consider the necessity of a reform in the com? position and powers o? the House of Lords. The beautiful Duchess of St. Albans, only twenty-two years of age. died in child-bed. Empress Eugenie has embarked for Spain. Napoleon resides in Torquay during Eugenie's absence. Don Carlos advises his adherents to accept amnesty and return to Spaio. Gonzales Bravo, ex-Prime Minister of Spain, died suddenly at Biarritz In comparative poverty. A meeting has been arratged at Lausanne, Switzerland, for Thiers and ocrtschakoff. Abatement of the Cholera. The cholera epidemic in the Baltic provinces of Prussia begins to abate. At K?nigsberg, where the disease has been most virulent, there were forty new cases and twenty-eight deaths on the 4th instant, and on the 5th only seventeen new cases and Alteen deaths. There has been but one fatal case at Stettin, and at Dantzlc the disease has been pronounced spo? radic. The few cases of cholera that have ap? peared at Paris and in London are now said to have been of a different type from the Asiatic scourge. The anxiety which was felt?t Ber? lin and throughout Germany is decreasing, and it is confidently hoped the precautions taken, aided by the approach of cold weather, will stay the progress of the epidemic. The Levant Herald says the deaths at Tab vez, Persia, still average two hundred and forty per day. Christians and Mussulmen are camped in the mountains, and business is en? tirely stopped. The Persian army has been disbanded. NEWS FROM WASHINGTON. WASHINGTON, September 9. The proposed declaration ot martial law In certain South Carolina counties hang fire. Reports to the War and Treasury Departments do not substantiate Ku-Klux Chairman Scott's affidavit or statement. Federal attorneys have been ordered to press cases against delinquent revenue officers and their bondsmen. THE CHAIN OF CRIMES. Additional Evidence of the Guilt of Conklin in the Bowlsby Horror. It would now seem that very little doubt was left as to the Identity ol the person who waa so Intimately associated with poor Alice Bowlsby previous to her death. By many of the friends ot young Conklin, it was stated that the cause of his suicide wa3 the receipt ot certain news from Russia, which would be brought out In Hie translation of the letters he that day received irom that place; bat this lea must have failed, for the letter has never een made public. Further investi"ation, principally of a private character, has brought to light several important circumstances con? nected with various vi.-its to New York made by Conklin. Bj- theseus shown thal on the Sunday previous lo Alice Bowlsby's depailure from Newark, Conklin called at her aunt's house, and after a long conversation, left for New York on business, which Alice said was ol a very Important nature. The next day (Monday} she received a letter from him, which probably contained monev, and instruc? tions in reference to Dr. Rosenzweig. Other evidences ot a les3 positive nature have been brought to light, all having the same general bearing. -The ute of Vigneron, a Frenchman, who was killed on the sands at BouIogne-sur-Mer on the lfth. in the presence of many hundred spectators, ls. like Renforth's, a proof of the foolishness of over-exertion. He was a man of extraordinary strength, aged forty-five, and was known in most parts of Europe for his feats o: strength, and particulerly for lilting a cannon weighing six hundred pounds upon his shoulders and firing a full charge of gun? powder. He was coing through this perfor? mance with his usual success; but while in the act ot lining the cannon to lower it he slipped and tell. The whole weight of the cannon fell on the face of the unfortunate man, splitting his skull completely in two. Death, of course, was instant?neos. OCR 31 A FOR ELECT. A Sketch of th? Character or Genen Wagener. [From the Walhalla Courier.] General John A. Wagener, Mayor elect < the City of Charleston, ls spending a rei weeks in our town. He is regarded, in great degre?, as the author and founder c Walhalla, and as such is highly esteemed b all our citizens, both German and American Under his auspices the German Society wa formed, lands purchased, the town laid on and the thrifty German colonized In our conn ty. What is now the flourishing Town o Walhalla, was then a poor, sandy ridge, th? land being considered a hard bargain a twenty-five cents per acre. The count' was without a market or railroad What a change bas been affected in the las twenty years, much ot which is Justly at tributed to General Wagener. He is man o strong native Intellect, good physique, soun< judgment and practical Information. In man ners he is a polished gentleman, affecting n< ostentation in dress or conversation, the mai to be popular and to retain the good, will of th< people by a fair and dignified bearing towarri: all and a fearless and faithful discharge of th< duties of a good citizen. During the first ses sion of the Legislature after the war, he seemed to appreciate, more fully than any other mern ber of that body, the great danger, both pollti cal and industrial, which threatened the peo pie of the South from emancipation. To pre vent or mitigate the evils Impending ovei South Carolina, he strenuously advocated th< encouragement of foreign white immlgratiot and introduced a bill Into the Legislature ask lng aid for that purpose. Aller much opposl tlon the?pltllul sum ot $10,000 was granted, ? sum totally Inadequate to any extended bene flt. How much might then have been done tc permanently better our condition and pros? pects by a liberal appropriation and the adop tion of generous inducements to settlers who would immigrate to our State? Before ano? ther session, the storm cloud, which has deso? lated our Stale with oppressive taxes and an army of corrupt and extravagant officials, had arisen. The golden moment was lost; but the lultllment of the prediction of General Wage? ner illustrates his good Juggment none the less forcibly. He ls to day perhaps the most popular man in the City of Charleston. In the late contest tor city officers he was selected by the Conservatives as the man who could concentrate the greatest number of all classes and races, and bore the banner of that party to victory. We predict that bis administration of the city govern? ment will be a success, fair and just to all races and conditions, and satisfactory to the public. With the characteristic of his race he will doubtless use every exertion to Inaugurate economy, reduce taxation, Improve the finan? cial condition ot the city, preserve order and enforce a system of cleansing and policing, which will In the future defy all epidemics and malarial fevers. The prospects ot Charleston are brighter by his election, and If she will be true to herself and spread her banner before the public, she will soon regain and retain her old prestige as a market and prosperous sea? port city. 80 mote lt be.
