ntertaeal with Different Varieties of
cotton on n Poor Acre—Cultivation and
Vleld-Thc Massey Cotton.
jIostnsciiA, Macos Co., Ga., Nov. 6, I860.
Riilon Telegraph : I send you tho following
report of »n experiment made this year with
on? acre of land, planted in cotton, its yiold,
jnltiration, etc.; also, its tests of several differ,
ent kind* of cotton seed, such as the Peeler,
)!oini. Diion, Boyd’s, Prolific, Alvarado, Texan
^ Oaka. Brazil and the Massey seed. All
varieties of seed I planted on this acre,
v poor, pine land, (a ridge) as there is any-
„tert in this settlement in cultivation the pres-
ent yew.
The main idea with mo was, to test the dif
ferent kinds of seed on the samo land, same
pfcnghing and the same cultivation every way,
oa the poorest land I had in cultivation, in or*
ia to see what deep ploughing and shallow eol
ation would do, with the use of fertilizers.
He cotton was planted four feet each way, one
Btlk in a hill—now and then two in a hill. I

I think, will gather yet to open about 50 or 75
pounds more, which will make about 1500

Otherwise, without any deeper ploughing or
uy fertilizer used than the old way, I am satis-
led this land would not, as bad and dry a year
u this has been, have made more than 200
pounds. Even as bad as this year has been, I
ib satisfied and almost fully convinced that, if
lhad planted this acre four feet by two feet, it
ronld have doubled, or made 3000 pounds.
Xow, as to the seed. I procured, last spring,
o( Mr. George L. Massey, enough of seed of his
Improved variety to plant two-thirds of this
tete, and the balance of the acre of the varieties
ibwe specified. The Massey cotton has more
than doubled any and all of the other kinds ex
empt the Dixon, and it has yielded about one-
third more than tho Dixon. These seed I got
from Mr. Massey, grown last year in a small
patch of ground, which was the best cotton I
arer saw,<*., the best stalks of it. It had
double limbs and a double row of bolls and
forms on every limb—which, of course, makes
a greater yield than any cotton I ever saw.
I ploughed this acre fourteen inches deep at
list; then bedded in the usual way and cultiva
ted with a winged sweep, the first old Georgia
pattern, the best sweep out in my opinion. This
land was cleared about 1841 or ’42, and has nev
er been fertilized before but well fertilized this
year with genuine Peruvian Gnano, without any
Bixtnre. Any one who may wish to purchase
any of thin double limbed and doable row of
bolls on each limb, can bny them in small quan
tities at $4 50 per bnshel of Mr. George L.

Preparations for the Coming State Fair.
Louisville, Ky., November 8, 1869.
Editors Telegraph : Your note of warning to
the people of Macon and the Committee of the
State Fair came none too soon. There will truly
be a large number of visitors, if we shall form
an estimate from the preparations going on in
ibis region. A gentleman remarked to us a few
days since, “That will be a grand exhibition at
Macon. I hear more of it than I did of the
Paris Exposition.”
The manufacturing interests of this city will
no doubt be well represented there. Messrs.
Dodge, Rhorer & Co., promise to make a con
tribution of their “perfect plow” which now
baa a just claim to the championship of three
States. Messrs. Carhart & Card and Wrigley
i Knott, of Macon, keep these superior imple
ments on sale, and the planters of Georgia will
be gratified to know where they can be had
*hen they see their merits tested at the ap-
Poaching Fair.
Messrs. Mnldoon, Bnllitt & Co., proprietors of
Ihe immense steam marble works in this city,
ud at Carrara, Italy, will send some of their
handsome marbles, which we are sore the citi-
mns of Macon will appreciate. They were the
purchasers at Carrara, Italy, of the original
Pond monument, which may now be seen in
Cave Hill Cemetery, near this city. The name
**s chiseled out, and it now bears another in-
I Option. The one in Bose Hill is an exact
I C0 Py of it except the central figure of the
angel.
Messrs. Peters & "Webb, whose pianos have
'■den numerous premiums over Northern mam
&t'tnrers, will also contribute some of their
6egant instruments to the exhibition. Their
littery here is conducted on a large scale, and
~eir pianos have stood the test of years.
Many others will send goods of superior
[ -erit, and mnch of the interest of the exhibi-
| ton will be duo to the flattering notice given by
•ie Courier-Journal, which you may have no-
fctd in a recent issue. Coevub.

in England where he had returned to recruit his

tribute of gratitude to the memory of the dead,
whose name will forever live as a lustrous star
in American history.
The mortal remains "of the Earl of Derby
were scarcely convoyed to the vault in Knows-
ley, where his ancestors are resting from all
earthly strife, when the decease of another
prominent member of the English nobility is an
nounced. Sir Richard Grosvenor, Marquis of
Westminster, died at the age of 74 years. It
ia said that his yearly income exceeded by far
that of any of his peers.
TheDnblin Amnesty Association, in an assem
bly held in London, has unanimously adopted a
resolution regretting that Gladstone refuses to
release the Fenian prisoners, and declaring that
the Association would continue the agitation
throughout the country. It seems to bo certain,
however, that the resolution of the Premier will
not be shaken unless the demonstrations lose
their imperative tone, demanding, as an net of
justice, what the Government considers to be an
act of clemency.
In the meantime, Archbishop Cullen, in a pas
toral letter, exhorts all Catholics to separate
from all Fenian organizations and similar secret
societies. Pointing out the evils which the ac
tivity of secret societies have produced in Spain
and Italy, he threatens all members of such or
ganizations with excommunication.
The “Times,” in a leading article, speaks of
the rapidly increasing importation of wheat from
the United States of America. The writer, al
luding to the question, how far America will be
enabled to compete with Russia and Central
Europe, when at some future time the railway
net in those countries will be completed, is of
opinion that the United States must earnestly
endeavor to reduce the freight and similar ex
penses by increasing the means of communica
tion with the Mississippi.
France.—Paris has continued perfectly quiet.
The more deliberate deputies of the opposition
have come to the conclusion that demonstrative
and revolutionary measures will only tend to ex
tinguish the lightof liberty which is just dawning
upon “Imperial France.” Also, publicopinion is
more and more inclining to the belief that the
victory of liberal ideas may be sooner expected
from parliamentary debates than revolutionary
demonstrations. The Government, compre
hending that it is obliged to meet the foe in
legal parliamentary warfare, wishes to disarm
him before the lists aro thrown open for the
combat. Therefore a series of liberal measures
has been announced, some of them of high im
portance. The surplus of sixty millions of
francs which is connted upon for next year,
shall be employed to reduce the “octroi,” to in
crease the pay of elementary teachers and sub
altern State officials, and to promote theerectien
of pnblic works. The future must teach ns
whether Napoleon will succeed in giving the
second Empire a surer foundation by adopting
the parliamentary regime. Shonld the trial
prove a failure, it will, probably, be but
his own fault, because he cannot make np
his mind to resign really his cherished absolu
tists ideas. France wishes for no revolution;
but at the same time she objects to the present
state which places the weal and woe of the land
within the hands of a single man.
Eugenie had arrived at the Suez Canal. Her
yacht “The Eagle” being found to draw too
much water, she sent orders for a vessel of

There are two seats vacant in the French
Academy by the death of Lamartine and Saint
Beuve; the last three candidates found woithy
of joining the “Immortal Forty,” Count d’
Hanssonville for Yiennet, Count de Champagny
for Berryer, and Barbier for Emsis, have not
yet delivered their introductory speeches.
North German Confederation.—Yon der
Heydt, Prussian Minister of Finances, has re
signed. His successor is Ludolf Camphansen,
a man of liberal ideas, who once already held
the same position. Von der Heydt was obliged
to give way to the attacks of the Liberals, who
accuse him of making out too large a deficit
with a view of inducing the House to grant new
taxes, which afterwards cannot be repealed
without the consent of the government. For at
present the Parliament has the right to increase
taxes, bnt it is beyond its power to rednee them
without the sanction of the government. It is,
therefore, perfectly clear that the grant of new
subsidies requires the ntmost caution. The
deputies Lasker and Mignel introduced a bill,
extending the jurisdiction of the Confederation
over the whole civil law.
Consuls for San Domingo and Cape Hayti,have
been appointed. The Germans residing in
Lima and Callao, Peru, have sent a petition to
Count Bismarck, expressing the wish of having
a representative of tho North German Confed
eration in Fern.
On the 8th of October, seven years ago, Bis

The first voyage of the steamer Fulton,belong

took place under evil auspioes. On her trip
from New York and also on her return voyage,she
was obliged to put in for repairs. A Babel-like
chaos of tongues reigned on board the vessel,

the Fatherland, bnt also of Danes, Norwegians,

STEWART’S MONUMENTS.
A Sketch of the SlasrniHcent Enterprises
or the New York Dry Goods Prince.
A New York letter says:
Among toe future buildings of New York,
there is none whioh, for both utility and great
ness of conception, will exceed toe two mam
moth hotels whioh are to be erected by A. T.
Stewart, one for yonng workingwomen, and the
other for yonng men, and for which he some
time ago appropriated the sum of $6,000,000.
That for yonng women is to be situated on
Fourth avenue, between Thirty-second and
Thirty-third streets, and here the excavations
are being made and toe foundations laid. The
buildings will be six stories in height, surmount
ed by a large Mansard roof, npon toe summit of
which twelve towers, twenty-four feet in height
and width, will be built, and upon toe street
angles of the building similar turrets will be also
placed, making tons ten in number, which will
form graceful crowns to toe heavy structure
The Rome Fair.
All Cherokee Georgia and a large portion of
East Alabama wero in a high state of excitement
over the Fair at Rome last week. We visited
the place, and were amply repaid , for the time
and money spent on. the ' trip. For the first ex
periment of the kind, it was a success—both in
toe variety and quality of the articles exhibited,
and in toe financial linethe receipts being very
heavy. The exhibition of horses, though not
extremely large, was fine. Capt. Styles, of
Stylesbora, exhibited toei best saddle horse we
ever saw in Georgia. , Capt May, of Rome, ex
hibited a remarkably fine and beautiful stallion,
with several of his Milts, that we don’t' think
could be beat anywhere. One of these colts,
only fourteen months old, was exhibited fre
quently under the saddle; and made all the
fancy saddle gaits. It appeared to be perfectly
broke, and was ridden by a lad of~ some twelve
or thirteen years of age. Another of those colts,.
only sixteen months old, weighed over eight
hundred pounds.
This is evidently a very fine stock of horses.
The display of cattle was meagre. We saw only
two fine cows. There were quite- a number of
extraordinary, large hogs. The display of. agri
cultural implements was large.. There.were,
reapers, threshers, mowers,, faps, gins, com-
shelters, cider mills? sorghum mills and-plows
innumerable. The indefatigable Brinley was.
there with his favorite plows, and plenty of
plow talk. Here, as everywhere he goes, both
hiuiself and his plows, win golden opinions. -
There was also a great'variety of grain, roots.
and other farm produce. In toe fancy depart-'
moat quite a display of works of art were, to be
seen—and the ladies had innumerable pretty
and nseia’ things on exhibition. McBride &
Co., of Athens, had a magnificent lot of silver r
and plated ware, which made the ladies’ months
water, and their eyes sparkle.. But we-can’t
undertake to mention a one-hundredth part of
the things we saw. In the matter of accidents,
there was plenty of them to fill several daily
editions of a New York paper, ■-* ' ,
Two men were instantly killed, at toe Fair
Ground on Thursday, by the falling of a large'
pole which was being used in raising a balloon.
These men were yonng, respectable, and the
principal reliance of widowed mothers. They
lost their lives by reason of toeir excessive cu
riosity manifested by crowding upon the bal
loonists. The sad aocident casta tetmgorary
gloom over the vast crowd, and. toe performance
was postponed till next day, when it came off
in grand style. A young lady made a hand

toe river, making a journey of a mile , or more,
without accident. Thursday night a gentleman
was robhed of fifteen hundred dollars, and seveL.'«." ' • .

This trip convinced ns more than ever of the
great importance of this point as. toe future seat
of a huge inland city. Nothing short of an
earthquake can prevent Rome from Boon bes
eeming a city of 50,000 ichalatants.
Although there are many drawbacks and in
conveniences about fairs, we have no doubt of
toeir general utility; and hope hereafter to see-
them annually all over toe State. .

A
kind, which to the eye presents toe appearance
of granite, while toe finishing inside is through
out of beautiful Italian marble, the work upon
which was executed in Italy. The style of arch
itecture is pure Corinthian, and though only
three stories in height, the structure towers
above the surrounding houses, inasmuch as each
story is twenty feet in height. Both within
and without there is but little showy ornamenta
tion, the style being chaste and severe, grand
without being heavy, and elaborate without be
ing fanciful. The walls will be finished in a
subdued color, so as to harts onize with toe
blue-veined marble, and the doors will be of
rosewood. The whole building, with but little
alteration, could be transformed into a
magnificent art gallery, which, indeed, in
course of time, may not improbably take place,
toe wardrobe and bathrooms alone suggesting
tbe idea of a private residence; and one of the
most remarkable feature is the vista presented
by one room-looking to another. Most worthy
of note, also, is the principal staircase, the cost
of which is almost fabulous; and beyond this,
and leading from a spacious hall, is the picture
gallery, which is to be adorned with the finest
specimens of statuary and painting, a collection
of which Mr. Stewart has been for some years
making. By the end of the winter it is sup
posed that the residenoe will be ready for occu
pation by Mr. and Mrs. Stewart, who, from an
elegant mansion across Fifth Avenue, survey
the daily progress of the work.
How to Glean Maihw.e.—It may be of some
value to telegraph operators who have marble
based instruments, and housekeepers who Lave
marble top furniture, to know that the common
solution of gum arabic is an exoeUaat absorbent,
and will remove dirt, etc., from marble. . First
—Brush the dust off toe piece to be cleaned,
then apply with a : brash a good coat cf gum ar
abic, about the consistency of thick offioe muci-
lege, expose it to the sun or dry wind, or both.
In a short time it will crack and peel off. If all
the gum should not peel off, wash it with a clean
doth. Of course if the first application docs
not have the desired effect, it should be applied
again. Second—Make a paste with soft soap
and whiting. Wash the marble first with it,
and then leave a cost of paste upon it for two
or three days. Afterward wash off with warm
(not hot) water and soap.—Scientific) American.

turned to England, and lived a" life of unobtru

upon the stone that marks toe grave was sup
posed to be of solid-silver, and tempted the cu
pidity of certain vandals, who, with hammer
and chisels, succeeded in prying it from too .

afterward, some good Samaritan caused too
simple name of Charlotte Temple to be cut un
derneath toe excavation. There it may be
seen, within a few feet of Broedvay, by any
one who will take the" trouble to" look through
the iron railing. Tho last time we glanced at
the alab, now almost imbedded in the ground,
we saw several.sparrows taking a bath in too
water which had collected in tbe excavation
from which the villains removed the plate ; and
other little feathered songsters were singing a,
requiem over her grave—near, which we were-
gratified to observe a forget-me-not, doubtless,
planted there by some kind heart who, in child

of the blue-eyed gut—Appleton’s Joumed.
