WASHINGTON, September 17.-The September report of the statistician of the Department of Agriculture indicates a decline in tho cotton crop prospect during tho past month, in consequence of the presence of the cotton caterpillar in portions of Georgia, Florida, Ala? bama, Mississippi and Louisiana, and of drought, of moderate severity, in Texas, Arkansas and Tennessee. The condition of the crop, aa shown by the average of returns received, isas follows: Virgie.in, 97; North Carolina, 101; Sooth Carolina, 95; Georgia, 96; Florida, 92; Alabama, 88; Mississippi, 90; Louisiana. 86; Texas, 91; Arkansas, 78; Tennessee, 92. Thus, | the prospect throughout the entire cot? ton area, which favored a yield five per cont, larger than an average product, promises, at tho present time, about ton per oent. less than an average The increase of acreage over last year, and the unfavorable character of tho season of 1871, still point to a material increase in the total crop of 1872; while the possible extension of insect ravages, or the early occurrence of frost, ma; modify the prosent expectation. The only Counties reporting cotton in Virginia are Northampton, Southamp? ton, King and Queen, Chesterfield, Greenville and Patrick; and in these tho average of condition has declined from 101 in August to 97 in September. Returns from thirty-eight Counties in North Carolina average 101 in Septem? ber, against 97 in August. Mecklenburg holds its August estimate of 125, and Edgeoorub has advanced from 75 to 100. Twelve reports are below 100. No ma? terial IOSQ from inseota is reported. The average of condition in South Carolina has fallen from 98 in August to 95 in September. Darlington, Barn? well, Edgefield and Fairfield Counties, which, together, produced 90,000 bales of the crop of 1869, average 96; Dar? lington and Fairfield standing better than in August. Richland, reporting 100 in August, has been visited by the cater? pillar, and reduces the estimate to 80. In August* only twelve Counties in Georgia, of sixty reporting, returned n condition less than 100, and the general average was 104. In September it is placed at 96. Insect ravages are becom? ing serious in several Counties, especially Lee, Twigg?, Spaulding, Schley, Bald? win and Marion. The decline during the past mouth in Florida has been from 96 to 92. The caterpillar appeared in Suwanneo as early as July 15, and divested of leaves whole fields before August 15. Leon, Jefferson, Madison, Gadsden and Taylor have also been visited. Only four Counties in Alabama made returns below 100 in August-tho gene? ral average being 107. Two-thirela of the present returns are below 100. thirty two Counties averaging 88. Of tho pro? minent Counties, Hale shows a decline from 110 to 67; Russell from 103 to 97; and Marengo from 90 to 70. Mont? gomery indicates an advance from 105 to 110. Two-thirds of the returns in olude a reference to insect ravages. The general average of Mississippi re? turns has fallen since the August report from 112 to 90. Warren has declined from 110 to 107; Madison from 105 to 77; Hinds from 100 to 60. Three-fourths of the returns are below 100. Insect depredations are serious in many Coun? ties. The average for Louisiana was 101 in August; in September, 86. In Caddo, the decline is from 90 to 50; from 100 to 75 ia Concordia; from 95 to 80 in Clai? borne; while in Madison, a prominent parish, an advance from 120 to 140 is reported. The caterpillar hus been de? structive in Tangepahoa, Marion, Red River, St. Landry and Conoordia. Drought has shortened the Texas crop, and reduced the average of the returns of condition from 103 to 94. Few re? ports of the presence of insects are re? ceived. Tho average of Arkansas returns has boen decreused from 96 to 78, mainly by dry weather. In Tennessee, drought has also been injurions, reducing the average from 101 to 92. The forms and young bolls of the top crop are rapidly falling off, threaten? ing a material reduction of the crop. Probabilities-For New England, winds veering to Southerly, with proba? bly continued cloudy weather on Wades day. For the Middle States, Westerly winds and generally clear weather for tho interior of tho Southern States; East of the Mississippi, generally clear wea? ther and light to fresh winds, bat partly cloudy weather, along the coast. North and West of the Ohio Valley, the baro? meter will probably continue falling, and the conditions are favorable for in? creasing cloudiness and threatening wea? ther; but the afternoon telegraphic re? ports from upper Miohigan to Nebraska and Westward are missing. Gen. Sherman returned to this city to? night. The Government has ordered proceed? ings to be commenced against the steam? ships Donan and Liberia, for oarrying passengers in nxoess of tho number al? lowed by law. ' J.

DESERTERS AND BOUNTY JUMPERS.-It | is alleged that three of tho louding char? acters who have figured in the Stanley Livingstone controversy aro deserters | from tho Union army. Lewis H. Noe shows that Stanloy was a bounty-jumper and deserter, and he confesses to have performed the same trick himself at Stanley's solicitation. And now comes the London correspondent of the New York Evening Post and shows that Dr. Livingstone's son also enlisted in the | Union army for tho eako of the bounty, and then deserted. The following is a list of patents issued from the United States Putentl Office to citizens of this State: Cotton Bale Tie-Robert S. Goodgion, Goodgion's factory; assignor of one-hali his right to Courtney, Everett & Co., New York. Seed and Guano Distributor-Wm. J. West, Greenville. Bolt Cutter-Wm. F. Strong, Charles? ton.

A GHASTLY PUBLIC MURDER.-On Tuesday morning, Jane 4, within the preoinots of the gaol, tho last dread sen? tence of the law was carried ont upou the person of John Conn, who was, at tho last assizes, convicted and condemned to death for tho murder of an elderly woman, named Aveline Littler, near Wyndever, in March last. Precisely at 9 o'clock tho wrotohed criminal, attended by the ltev. Mr. Mc Anoliffe, was led forth from his cell and quietly submitted himself to the hands of the two executioners, who at once proceeded to pinion him. The pri? soner was taken to tho foot of the gal? lows and ascended tho stairs without ex? hibiting any agitation. Ho raisod hiB hands twice, as it in supplication; and, upon the cap being thrown over his head and tied, the bolt was drawn. A scene now oconrred that will never be forgotten by those who witnessed it. When the body passed through the drop, the spectators, of course, ex? pected to Bee it swing underneath, when the extent of tho rope was reached; but what was their horror to see the trunk, completely severod from the hoad, fall into the pit below, while the head was left dangling in the noose-terrible and ghastly sight. Death, of coarse, was instantaneous. It ia impossible to de? scribe the sensation which this shocking spectacle produced. Every one present stood os if ho were rooted to the spot, and it was some timo before most of tho on-lookers could realize what had aotnally occurred. The blood now ran ia a narrow stream from the head sus? pended above, and, upon approaching the edge of tho pit, tho upper portion of the 'body was seen to partially raise itself in oonvolsive shudderings two or three times before it ceased to move, the blood pouring in streams from the neck. Tho effect of tho soeno was sickening in the extreme, but as soon as possible the trunk and head were put in a coffin and removed. The cause of the terrible ca? tastrophe was the want of any allowance on tho part of the executioners for the age and attenuated frame of tho oouviot. Far too great a fall was given, and though it might be merciful as a rapid and painless modo of taking life, the re? sult was aortainly most revolting. [Barlhursl Times. JUST.-Thoodoro Tilton, in the Golden Age, speaking of Harper's Weekly and the Nust cartoons, says: Tho faot that Nast's caricature;) aro at the exponso of the Liberal party has nota hair's weight in our mind. The quality of wit is not affected by party liues, und artistic merit is independ? nt of political and religious opinions. Many of tho recent caricatures ia Har? per's Weekly have becu not only a de? gradation of art to the worst ends, but base, witless, and even hideous in and of themselves when judged by any of tho accepted canons of taste. A personal friend of George Wm. Curtis-a gentle? man of culturo and refinement, who sympathizes with tho Grant party-pro? nounced tho representation of Sumner scattering flowers on tho grave of Brooks ns fiendish. The caricature that ridi? cules the great principles and divine charities of tho Gospels, and represents high-minded, pure-hearted, honorable men and devoted patriots-however er? roneous their opinions may be-as ruf? fians and beasts, is simply brutal, and the religion that sanctions it is the reli? gion of hell. It is agreed by the New York press of all shades of politics that the great Libe? ral meeting of Thursday night was the largest held in that city since the memo? rable meeting of April, 1861. Evory foot of Union Squaro waa thronged. The crowds were, of ooaree, thickest about tho speakers' stands, where they listened in perfect silence, broken only by applause. But even beyond the reach of the speakers' voices, the dense masses stood packed, ohcering the flags, the processions, tho fire-works and tho louder bursts of oratory. It was not in ordinary mass meeting. It was a ren? dezvous of the people of New York. No less than seven meetings wore in pro? gress at once, densely attended aud ad? dressed by stirring and popular speakers. It was ono of those enormous demonstra? tions which are not possible except to winning causes. YOUNO AMERICA WONDERS.-I wonder what makes papa tell such nice stories to visitors about his hiding his master's rattan when he went to sohool, uud about his running away from tho school? mistress when abo was going to whip him, und thon shut me up all day in a dark room because I tried just onco to bo as smart ns ho has beon? Wonder what made papa say that wicked word, when Betsey upset tho ink all over hiB papor, sud then slapped my ears whon I said tho samo thing wheu my kite string broke? Wonder why mamma told Bridget, the other day, to say sho was not at home when Tommy Day's mother oalled, and then puts mo to bed without my supper every time I tell a lie? DRIYINO NEGROES OUT OF CABINS. Caterpillars are becoming terrible nuis? ances in Jaokson County, Fla. On one plantation, which was expected to yield seventy bales of cotton, only eight can now be gathered. They have stripped all the leaves from the cotton plant, and are now going for tho darkies. In sack? ing shade, they oater tho cabins in crowds, and have driven tho negroes out. This is a new phase of the worm. The darkies swear they are going to quit that oountry. It is not so pleasant to lie down with a hundred or two playful caterpillars dancing n mazourka over your body. They might tako a darkey's ear for a cotton leaf. Tho Terre Haute Journal remembers that tho Republicans carried Maine in 1856, aud that Buchanan was elected in that year. Chorus by the office-holders "As goes Maine," etc. FAIRBANKS SCALES.-Great inventions come in groups SB the stars troop over our hoads in constellations. The same age beheld the steam engine, the tele? graph, the power loom, the sewing ma? chine, the reaper and the platform scale introduced or developed. It is a moat extraordinary circumstance that from the earliest time down to within a little more than a generation no material improve? ment in weighing machines for general uso waa made. The "Himplo balance," suoh as waa almost universally employed fifty years ago, is depioted upon the most anoient monuments of Babylon and Egypt. With this Abraham, doubtless, weighed out the dOO pieces of ailvor, which hu paid for tho field of Machpelah; for money, in those primeval dajB, went by weight. Tho "steelyard" is fonnd in the ruins of Pompeii, and was borrowed by tho Bomans from the East. It was reserved for this century and for Fair? banks to combine the "platform" and the "compound lever" in a machine sus? ceptible of almost innumerable modifi? cations according to the required use, and singularly convenient in all. When we consider how many millions of par? cels, great and small, are weighed 'out daily, we may begin to realize how vost a saving of time and labor ic constantly made by this ono beneficent device. The name of Fairbanks may be justly added to the list of tho great benefactors of men. His work has from the first stood at the head of all tho weighing machines of the world. STOP TUE INTEREST.-Daniel Webster onoe dined with an old Boston merchant, and when they came to the wine, a dusty old bottle was carefully decauted by Peter and passed, to tho boat. Taking the bot? tle, he ponred out Mr. Webster's glass and handed it to 1iim. Then pouring out another for himself, he held it to the light and said: "Howdo you like it, Mr. Webster?" "I think it a fine specimen of old Port." "Now, yon can't guess what that cost me?" said the host. "Surely not," said Mr. Webster; "I only know that it is excellent." "Well, now, I can tell you, for I mado a careful esti? mate the other day. When I add the interest to tho first price, I find that it cost me the sum of ono dollar and twenty cents per glass!" "Good gracious! you don't say so," said Mr. Webster; and then draining his glass, he hastily pre? sented it again, with the remark: "Fill it up again as quick as you can, for I want to stop that confounded interest," THE LATE SHOOTING AFFRAY IN ROBE? SON-GILCHRIST NOT DEAD.-Intelligence reached us yesterday, through a trust? worthy source, that Tom. Gilchrist, one of the parties to the terrible affray which occurred in Robeson County last week, in which it wus stated that he and his antagonist both perished, is not yet dead. Three balls were shot through the back of his head aud one through his mouth, which lodged back of his ear. This, with one of the other balls, WOB extracted by the physician in attendance upon the sufferer Saturday, and we learu that it is hia opinion now that Gilchrist may pos? sibly recover.

The Internal Revenue Bureau will soon issno a regulation which will require persons retailing tobacoo on railway oars and steamers to pay taxes as dealers in tobacco, instead of peddlers, as hereto? fore, and will allow them to soil only from properly stamped packages, nnder a speoial tax receipt as dealers. The eales must also bo mado exclusively in the smoking cars, and the tax receipt must state the route over whioh the dealer travels and the number of'the car. The bureau is having made and will soon be ready to supply a new die for the cancellation of stumps on pack? ages of tobacco, that now in use having been found unsuitable. The Typographical Union of New York has made a decided move in with? drawing from "The Workingraeu's Union," which organization lately adopt? ed a resolution making it obligatory on all members to pay twenty-five aents a woek during a strike by any set of work? ingmen. This direct tax on industry to support indolence tho printers havo de? termined not to pay under any consider? ation, aud their secession from tho union has givun both labor aud capital a fair insight into tho arbitrary practices of an organization which unjustly taxes tho very men it professes to protect in their just rights and privileges.
