Its tablo of contents embraces a great variety of topics pertainiug to tho farm, the gar den and the house; besides it is so clear ly printed, ou such good paper, with the edges so smoothly cut that one cannot re sist tho temptation of running over its clear and beautiful pages. The Colli valor lias held its own better than auy other Southern periodical ever did. It is now in its twenty-ninth volume, and is appa rently moro vigorous and healthful than ever it was beforo. But it deserves suc cess. Its pages are crowded with matter of general interest to farmers. Its mat ter is fresh and lively, and of practical utility. It is a book of pormauent value, hence it is patronized and sustained by tho people. The Cultivator >s published at Athens, by Wm. Sc W. L. Jones. Its subscription prico is $2.00 per anuum.

Near Stockbridoe, | July 29th, 1871. ) Editors Sun : On tho evening of the 2Gth inst., one of your subscribers, Clias. L. Powell, was suddenly taken ill; one hour after which ho was a corpse. The venerable Wm. Dodson, eighty or more years old, who was on a visit that day, had just left, when the deceased complained of a severe pain in his stomach, and before tho physician, Dr. Calhoun, the dis tance not over two miles, arrived, ho had breathed his last. Mr. Dodson states the deceased was in usual good health and conversed freely, lie was in his 04th year, horn tho 18th Dee., 1807. lie was an orderly, con sistent and devout member of tho Primativc Baptist Church. On the night of tho 25th, a house in McDonough was consumed by lire. Ill it their mother (colored) had left four children, of whom the three youngest were burned to death. The oldest of these, tigirl six vears old, was awakened by the lire anil ran into tho room where the oldest, a hov, was sleeping and awaked him. lie ran out, but she, in attempting to rescue the other little ones, perished with them. Crops are looking tolerably well— com on upland, which has been tilled well, looks finely, but on bot toms badly, owning to too much rain. Cotton is improving and growing rapidly. but owing to the late colil and wet spring. them is not much over a half stand, and it is ladling two weeks later than usual. \\ c are now needing rain, not having had any since the 17th and 18th, when there w ere heavy rains with hail and violent thunder. " The door steps of a near neighbor were struck by lightning, shocking terribly a mule standing un der a gin house a short distance, and on an adjoining farm the lightning struck in a cotton held (no tree near) killing the cotton in a space of twenty yards. Yours respectfully, II. lion. It. II. IliR oh II bite Labor. A«Ta. Tito primal cauae of om- i&Uuro a* a people u Uio f*4*t that our sybtcin of labor was slavery. From tins, as from a dcu of disturbed vlpera, have crawled out the innumerable aud poisonous evils that have lamed our energies, aud polluted our blood. If the correspondent of lbo New Fra is to bo believed, such is the opprobious language that was blown into tho face of the cultivated iutolligcuco of Georgia by Mr. Hill:—who could, with uublancbed cluck, fuco the tuuno audkuce to-morrow and ii.ssert, and attempt to prove, that slavery was a divine ordination; that it was the greatest possible blcsiiog to the negro—also to tho whito race, particu larly to the white laborer; the grand ele ment of our unparalleled prosperity, anil that its destruction was a damning siu against tho laws of tho Almighty. Tho monstrous error of tho foregoing extract is, that it assigns one of the great causes of our great success, as the cause of that which has not occurred, viz: our failure ns a people, and tho ]»Motion of our blood! Who, but Mr. Hill, iu tho very teeth of history, which has trauspired iu his own day, of which ho has been a con spicuous witness, and in which ho has been a prominent actor, could coudeuso so much that cannot bo sustained, iu so few words, and then without blushing for shame, thrust it in tho face of those who havo bccu his fricuds and sup porters ? When did that “failure us u people” begin, and when did it end ? Wus it when, through tho institution of slavery, os it was called, wo took tho low down African from his bestial condition, and proved and elevated him, morrolly, mentally and physically, to his present condition ? Such an improvement in a race of men, was never brought about by any other menus iu tho history of the world. Did tho violent abolishing Of this condition of tlio Negro, consti tute “our failure os a people ?” Did this elevation and unparalleled improvement of tho negro; the elevation and improvement of our owu race; our mental culture and vigor; tho purity and virtue of our women ; the good morals and integrity of our people generally, and tho uncontaminated state of religion among us, stamp us as a fail ure ? Was it when wo produced three* fourths of tho exportable values of tho Western World, furnished the material for the manufactures and the carrying busi ness of tho North ; and when wo fed and clothed tho hungry aud tho naked of other countries ? Did our failure cousist in building up such noble institutions of laeruing as the University of Georgia ? Was it when our pulpits were adorned with such meu as Basconi, Soule, Mercer, Dawson, Andrew, Pierce, Breckinridge, Hodges, ThornwelJ, Palmer, Elliott and Lipscomb ; or when wr^gavo to tho Judi ciary such mca as Marshall, Taney, Lumpkin, Dougherty, Charlton, Nesbit and Wayuc ; or when wo sent to tho Fed eral councils such men as Washington, Jefferson, Madison, Randolph, Clay, Calhoun, McDuffie, Forsyth, Crawford, Berrien, Stephens, Hunter, Toombs, Bea ton and Mason, whoso wisdom, virtue and mental power arc recorded on every page of American history during and since tho revolution ? Was it when the policy of the Government, furnished and carried out—its foundations laid and superstruc ture reared—by Southern men aud Southern patriotism—brought this coun try to a condition of prosperity and ad ancemcnt that was never before attained •y men on i artli ? Wo failed to triumph in the lab but was that a “failure as a people ?” It was ouly a failure in a single direction— not as a people. But farther: was our “failure as a poo- lo” exhibited when wo rose, Pluenix* like, from tho Ashes of our desolution, and in six years havo astonished the world with our powers of reeuperatiou ? Havo we failed as a people, when wo havo ac complishod this in our oppressed condi tion-disarmed, unresisting, taxed with out representation—throttled by exultant aud exacting power—with all tho cruel ties and injustice which havo been heap ed upon us, which even Mr. Hill's daring invective could not shako off from us ?— He resisted and denounced the Constitu tionnl Amendments with the greatest bit tern eas; now he would have us accept them as binding and irrevocable, and thank God for tho blessed privilege! What lias caused this change? He, however, lias a l ight to change his views, but not to slander our people aud his country. Aud why outrage common de cency in proclaiming his conversion from truth to error ? What could have induc ed a sane man to choose such an occasion to disgmeo himself ? But perhaps ho is trying to make his newly chosen bed soft and downy—to console liis conscience aud bolster up his pridu while making this last political somersault, or perhaps trying to remove the barriers that stand like towering mountain peaks iu his path to high place and preferment. To ac complish this, it may he necessary for him to think, and try to mako us think, that wo have heretofore lived in igno rance—that wc have been degenerating— growing worse mid becoming debased, and that all our achievements iu tho pAst are disgraceful failures, and that all our oppressions and persecutions, ugainst which his eloquent pen and tongue so long defended us, were, and are, our greatest biessiugs, which we mast cordially em brace, and for the imposition of which upon us, wo can never be thankful enough. If sneli is the road to high honor /or him, let him follow it; but there are many of us not prepared to take up the lino of march with him. Georgian. BY .1. It. w.'-tto*.

LETTER FROM TEXAS* Itaili'oad Enterprises Looking Up—Tlie Country Looking Up. Political Matters. Spiuxgfield, Texas, ) July 25,1871. ) Editor Sun: When the rebellion (so-called) began in 1801, this place was about one hundred miles from the terminus of the Houston & Texas Central Railroad. Within the last two years the road has been pushed ahead very energetically. Grocsbuck, the present terminus of the road, is within five miles of this place, and the construction train is running north of this four or live miles. It is generally understood that those who control the movements of the road, design completing it to Corsicana by October 1st, 1871—a point 38 miles north of Springfield. The International, which was chartered at the last session of the Legislature, is being built very rapid ly. It intersects the Central at a point called Ilerone, about forty or fifty miles South of this. It crosses the Trinity river in Freestone county, near a place called Magnolia. They are at work on the bridge at that point now. It occurs to me that some of the able railroad men of „ - . floorffiii would find in inviHncr Hold weather, standing in tlio door of ono of ‘ i 1 J 1 ' ltin o nCKl I B f nmq in this nliuw. rnmnrknd tlmt oi labor m this State. In ten years 000, to be used in bribing (tov. Lind say to let tin* road remain in Stanton’s hands, and to pay the interest for the State for another year. That McKay had seen Lindsay and it was all right, or words to that effect. Gen. Noddy at once went to the room of Gen. James 11. Clanton, who was stopping at the same hotel, and repeated the conversation. “ What!” said Clanton; “doe* he .-uy that he has bribed Robert Burn Lindsay to do such a thing as that !" Lindsay must know of this at one Gen. Clanton then returned to New York city and informed Gov. Lind say, who had gone there to arrange for paying the interest on the A. & C. It. It. bonds endorsed by the State, what Roddy hod told him. Gov. Lindsay at once sent for Mc Kay and demanded to know what he meant by making such reports. I McKay was terrified into making a clean breast of it, and gave Governor Lindsay hi* written acknowledgment, which Gov. Lindsay now bolus, that Stanton lmd paid him the money as above stated upon his own solicitation and promise to fix Lindsay, but that he hud never approached the Governor on the subject, but kept the money himself, inducing Stanton to believe that Lindsay was bribed. To this day Stanton does not know but that the bribe was paid, and hence he is so insolent in his demands that the State keen her hands off, and he has even ulluued to "the arrangement made with your agent” in a letter to Gov. Lindsay since the seizure of the road. Probably lie will soon know that Gov. Lindsay is not for sale, but that he himself lias been most egre- giously sold. If any one doubts this statement, wo refer them to Gen. Clanton, who is now in this city, from whom we obtained the facts with permission to publish them. GEORGIA NE1V& A lamp in which only “non-cxplosivo” oil was used, caunonized iu Savannah the other day. Tho hose company was promptly on tho spot, and new furniture is needed in ono room of tho house where tho fragments of the lamp were scattered. The Macon Tdeyraph says: Wo sco it announced that J. Clarke Swayze has been appointed to tako testimony in this city, to be laid beforo tho Court of Claims at Washington, and that ho will enter upon the discharge of the dnties of his oflico next week. The AugustaC/ironfcte and Sentinel, 3d, says: On Tuesday as a Broad street mer chant and his family were at dinner in his residence, on Greene street, a bullet came through tho window sash and cur tain and dropped iu his wife’s lap. The holo which was made through the glass and tho curtain was so small that it looked as if it lmd been shot from a pistol. Au experienced polico officer, who was called iu at onco, pronounced it to lmvo come from un Alabama sliug; and after a search on tho back street, succeeded in finding tho party to whom the weapon belonged. He was too young to bring beforo the Recorder, and was turned over to his pa rents for punishment. The Griffin Middle (IvoryIan ou the 4th instant, says: Ono of the most peculiar phenomenons iu the weather that wo lave ever witnessed occurred in this sec tion lust Tuesday.

Davis, Gov ernor, (so-called) of the State of Texas, this State will have as many railroads completed as Georgia. The completion of the Central to this point, is fast revolutionizing pop ulation, and the manners and habits of the people. Ten years ago it was the work of a week, nearly, to go to Galveston; now you go iu about twelve hours! So much for rail roads! Would that our political im provement kept pace with our pro gress in material prosperity. But it is backwards! We are advancing backwards fast. One bad feature with us is, that our Constitution pro vides for the appointment of the Judge by (he Governor. When such a man as Davis is Governor, we must have as a general thing, had Judges. Davis appointed one Thur mond Judge, hut took the precaution to require of his appointee, his blank resignition as one of the conditions of his appointment.

It is well nigh tho case now iu some Judicial Districts in Texas, that bayonets and stout-shanks sit in judgment on the bench.

The Chattanooga Times of the 1st inst., lias the following: On the 25th day of June, 1871, in Cozzen’s Hotel, at West Point, New York, D. N. Stanton, President of the A. ft CL K- it-, told Gen. Itoddy, form erly of Alabama, in the course of con versation about tiie road and his fail ure to pay the interest, that Gor. Lindsay dared not take possession of the roau. That he had paid a man named McKay, who was on very inti mate relation's with Lindsay, *5,000 in money, 820,000 in negotiable notes, $50,000 in 1st mortgage bonds of the Alabama &. Chattanooga Railroad, aud other securities making the stores in this place, remarked that 1 “thero wns ns little prospect for rain as ho ever saw in his life.” Five minutes after lio mado tho remark, largo drops of rain commenced to fall, and contiuucd to fall for ten minutes, and all thowliilo tlio sun was shining brightly. A wind from tho west begun to blow gently, but increased until in about five minutes, ruin was pouring down. Goods boxes were blown across the streets, sign-hoards blown down, tin raised from the roofs of houses, fences laid down, and tho rain was blown up tho stairway of onr oflico, iu tho sec ond story of Cunningham’s building, and wet tho top stop and floor. Tho African Methodist Church, a build ing thirty-six by sixty feet, was blown from its foundation, aud left a complete wreck. Largo oak trees were twisted off, and the branches from other shade trees wrenched off and sent flying through tho air. Several other small dwellings were blown down, and repairs to fences has been tho order of tho day since tho storm On Wednesday wo again hud a fino rain, with some wind. The tornadb of Tues day was restricted to a very narrow scopo, and wc have no damage to report from tho country. Tho rain of Wednesday was moro general and will provo of great benefit to tho farmers. A good prospect for more rain. Tho Savannah Republican of the 2d instant Hit: Ntgro supremacy in and about Darien has rendered tlio race in that locality peculiarly audacious. Un der tho leadership of tho black villain, Campbell, who represents tho district iu tho Stuto Senate, aud is ready for any outrage against the whites, a largo body of tlie colored people have taken up tho idea that their own will is tho supremo law. As all tho officers of tbo county arc negroes—and wo are freo to say somo of them well-meaning, but under bad influ ences- there is no hope for protection from that source. It is the duty of tho United States to protect its own mails at least, and wo hope tho Postmaster at Suvaumih will call upon tho commandant of the post for detachments of troops to accom pany tho mail steamers on their regular trips until tho colored people of Darien shall havo come to their senses.
