Plow Deep. —lt is generally prophesied that a
wet spring precedes a droughty summer. If this
be true, and the weather continues as it has been
for a week past, it behooves our farmers to plow
deep, and pulverize the soil well, as well as can
be, before planting, and prepare, as far as in their
power lies, to protect their crops against a drought
in the summer. —CartersviMe Standard.

The returns of the British Government show
that the United States have now quite eclipsed
Russia in the English wheat market, and forward
to the United Kingdom more than a third of its
whole supply. In five years the increase amounts
to 123 per cent,, the largest increase in proportion
to the quantities sent having been in the imports
on the Atlantic. For the present, the United
States return to the second place on the list of the
countries w T ho supply England with cotton, Brit
ish India being still at the head.
Hon. W. P. Price, of the 6th Georgia District,
has introduced a bill in Congiess, to give 10,000
acres of land, to aid in the construction of the
Atlantic & Great Western Canal, which is a pro

ters of the Tennessee river witli the Coosa river,
and give water transportation to the Gulf of Mex
ico by way of that river and the Alabama; and
also to connect the Tennessee with the Chattahoo
chee and Ocmulgee rivers, and open communica
tion with the Atlantic seaboard. The bill is elab
orately drawn.
The Supreme Court will shortly have before it
a most interesting question, namely, the right to
enforce by suit, notes given on the sale of slaves,
prior to the emancipation. The States of Louisiana,
Georgia and other Southern States, in their new
Constitutions, have laws which declare that all
contracts for the sale of persons are null and void,
and shall not be enforced by the courts of the
States. The right of the Constitution to annul
such contracts in the future is not disputed, but it
is maintained that rights arising under old con
tracts before emancipation, are protected against
such confiscation by the clause of the Federal Con
stitution which says: “No State shall pass any
law infringing the obligation of contracts.”
There is a remarkable colored man in Alexan
dria, Va., who says lie came from Frederick, Mel.,
who can, at will, and without any apparent incon
venience, change the position of bis heart to the
left and lower portion of the abdomen, thence
across to the right side of his abdomen, and then
back again to his left breast. He also possesses
the power of revolving his stomach, and of so
extending the muscles between his ribs as to form
a bony covering for the whole of his abdomen.
These motions are all distinctly visible—the trans
position of the heart, considering its attachments,
being almost inexplicable. Many persons, among
them some of the medical faculty, have examined
the man, and have been interested very mucji in
the phenomena he exhibited.
A Sorghotown correspondent of the Owensboro
Monitor asserts this: “A lady well known in this
neighborhood, who has for many years been af
flicted with dropsy, presents the most remarkable
case on record. She has Iveert tapped over sixty
times by Dr. J. Q. A. Stewart, within the past
twelve years, averaging at each operation the
enormous amount of ten gallons of liquid, almost
filling an ordinary washing tub, and by various
other physicians, at least thirty times more, ma
king in all, between ninety and one hundred times
—aggregating 1,000 gallons, or 8,000 pounds of
liquid —and strange to say, she still enjoys tolera
ble good health, being able, a day or two after the
operation, to mount a horse and ride to church, or
visit her neighbors.”
The Savannah and Atanta Railroad. —We
clip from the Savannah Republican the following
in relation to the Savannah and Atlanta Railroad:
To-morrow T an Important meeting of the Board of
Directors of the Savannah and Atlanta Railroad
is to be held in this city. The event is regarded
as one of the deepest interest to our city. The
reports of the surveyors will, no doubt, be read,
and measures devised whereby the work can be
rapidly pushed to completion. Citizens on the
line of the projected road have responded to the
call for subscriptions with a spirit truly encoura
ging, and it is proper that our community should
devote some of its time and attention to these
gentlemen w'ho, as friends of the road, come here
to counsel with us in reference to the great under
taking.
The race between St. Louis and Chicago is a
closely contested one, and the former city seems
to have the lead. In manufacture its annual pro
duct has risen from $27,610,070 in 1860 to $109,.
513,950 in 1870, an increase of 296 per cent, in ten
years. St. Louis erected 1,336 buildings during
1870, at a cost of $5,627,106. One of them cost
$300,000, and several others more than $50,000
each. She ow r ns 209 steamers and 229 barges, of
a total value of $6,844,200. Her receipts of wheat
in 1870 were 23,115,022 bushels; of coal, 23,931,-
475 bushels —a large excess over those of any
former year. The population of St. Louis is 312,-
960, on an area of tw r enty square miles, while that
of Chicago is 297,718, on thirty-four and a half
square miles. At its present ratio of progress, it
appears that by the end of another decade its pop
ulation will be nearly one million—equal to that
of New York.
The manuscript contributions sent to the Harp
ers during the past year, for their three periodicals
— Monthly, the Weekly and the Bazar —amount to
six thousand five hundred. More than nine-tenths
of all the offered articles—poems, tales, sketches,
essays, etc. —were rejected. A description of all
the rejected articles, with an opinion of each one
of them, is kept in a series of large reference
books, w'hicli are inspected from time to time by
the head of the firm. After a manuscript has been
received and the fact duly recorded, it is carefully
put up in its envelope, so that it may at any time
be returned to its writer. Though there are more
articles sent for publication to the Harpers than
any other publishing house in the country, there
is not to be found in any of their periodicals the
line which most newspapers appear to find neces
sary, “ Rejected manuscripts not returned.”—News
paper Reporter.

Take Care of tour Brooms — ls your broom
is wet in boiling suds once a week, it will make it
very tough—wfil make it last and sweep clean. A
dirty carpet may be cleansed by setting a bucket
of water by the door, and every now and then, as
you sweep, dip the broom in, and then shake off
the water and proceed. The water will become
very dirty, proving how much dirt you are taking
off the carpet.
The Prussian list of losses in the Twelfth Prus
sian army corps, the Landwehr and the Baden di
vision, so far a3 they were published up to the 18th
ultimo, gives the following results: Killed and
wounded—l 2 generals, 206 staff officers, 2,691 sub
alterns, 5,384 sergeants, etc., 100 surgeons, etc., 53,-
541 rank and file; missing—l staff officer, 25 sub
alterns, 15 ensigns, 198 sergeants, etc., 5 surgeons,
etc., 6,858 rank and file. There has, therefore,
been a total loss from the above named forces of
2,925 officers, and 67,012 men. •
Sudden Deaths. —The readers of newspapers
cannot have failed to be impressed with the re
markable frequency of sudden deaths within the
last ten days, and reaching to every section of the
country. So great has been their number that the
fatality seems almost to have assumed the form of
an epidemic. Some remarkable coincidences have
also occurred in connection with the startling
events. One day the telegraph announces the
sudden death of the French Professor at West
Point, and the next day we have accounts of the
death in like manner of an old and distinguished
French Professor in New Orleans. One day we
hear of the death of Steinway, the celebrated
piano manufacturer of New York, and the next
brings us tidings of the sudden demise of his great
rival, Chickering, of Boston. Coming nearer
home, a well known and popular railroad con
ductor expired suddenly at his residence in this
city, and another of the same calling and in like
esteem was found dead on the samd day and about
the same hour in Macon. Such events coming to
gether are certainly most remarkable. — Bav. Itep.
Taxes and the Ownership of Land in Prus
sia.—The taxes in Prussia are veiy heavy, but are
perhaps more equitably levied and collected than
in any other country in the world. The people
are divided into six classes, according to the amount
of their property, and the rate of taxation is dif
ferent for each class. The sum total of the taxes
collected in the monarchy in 1867 averaged 59 9-10
thalers ($39.75 in specie) for every man, woman
and child, which is more than a farm-laborer earns
in a year about Wittenberg. In Hanover, before
it was annexed, the direct taxes averaged only
$34 a head; in Hesse Cassel, $25.50. In Bavaria,
in the same year, the. direct tax was only 80 cents 1
In the various eastern provinces the size of
farms averages as follows: Prussia, 113 acres;
Posen, 96; Pomerania, 114; Brandenburg, 83. As
a basis of comparison, farms in the United States
average about 75 acres; in Texas alone, 500; in
England, 475, From this it may be inferred that
the condition of the Prussian peasantry is far bet
ter than that of the English. Os the 55,687,049
acres in the above provinces, the nobility own only
19,704,506 acres—the peasantry, 35,982,543.
According to the census of 1863, there were in
the whole Prussian monarchy—
Independent landholders „ 762,157
Renters of land (independent) 88 218
Persons owning land as a secondary business 421.544
Total 1,216,919
The number of servants, apprentices, day-labor
ers, and artisans of various sorts employed on
farms (not independent) was 1,911,861 — a number
considerably greater than that of the independents
given above.
The relation of independent landholders to the
agricultural laborers of all sorts, varies in different
districts. Thus, in Stralsund the latter class is to
the former as 5.40 to 1; in the Berlin district, 3.32;
Potsdam, 2.58; KOnigsberg, 2.73; Magdeburg,
2.06; Erfurt, 1.24; Cologne, 1.05; Aix-la-Chapelle,
0.82; Sigmaringen, 0.41. The point which is in
teresting in this, is that the proportioh of indepen
dent landholders in South Germany (of which the
district of Sigmaringen may be considered repre
sentative) is much larger "than it is in Prussia,
where the dependent laborers prevail. This ac
counts, in part, for the stronger democratic pro
clivities of South German}'. — From Student Ham
bies in Prussia, by Stephen Powers, in the March
number of Lippincott's Magazine.
Marietta Free School.
The abova-named Institution has opened its
ninth semi-annual session, and the undersigned
(having, in its past history, published in the Index
some reports of progress) again calls attention to
the design, progress and success of the school.
First, tine «ii»M ia view by tlje fouiutar of the
school, was to furnish facilities for a common
school education to all children within its reach,
not able to- fby tuition, whether they were or
phans or not. It was further designed, that an
industrial department should be attached to the
school, (when funds were sufficient,) so that the
pupils might learn, some useful, practical employ
ment. Many pupils have been taught to spell,
read, and write, the elements of Geography, and
Arithmetic; but to this time, it has required all
the money received to pay expenses of teachers,
books, and furnishing the building, etc., etc. Not
having had means, no industrial department has
been added. The expenses are paid by voluntary
contributions from those who are willing to give
without being directly or personally asked to do
so. Earnest application is made to Him who rules
all hearts, that He will turn the benevolence of
some in the direction of this school.

Schofield’s Rolling Mill.
Our valued contemporary, the Constitution, of
the 12tli inst., contains an interesting pen-picture
of one of Atlanta’s most important enterprises.
We reproduce the article, in the main, for the ben
efit of Index readers:
“ The Rolling Mill is about 1J miles from the
Passenger Depot. The lot contains forty acres, all
under a good fence. The Rollins Mill building is
350 feet long by 180 feet wide. The foundry and
nail factory is 100 feet long by 50 feet wide. The
company has 11 furnaces in operation, 6 heating
and 5 puddling. The motive power is supplied by
11 boilers and 8 engines, with 350-horse power.
There are two squeezers; the crocodile and anew
one, the “ coffee mill” weighing ten tons. Besides
this, there are nut cutters, bolt cutters, straighten
ing machines and punching machines. Anew
puncher cut3 four holes at the same time in the
bolts for the fish bar rail. Upon an average, five
car loads of coal are used daily. The mill turns
out fifty tons of finished rails, five tons of merchant
iron, tiventy tons of puddled iron, and five tons
of spikes per day, or fifteen thousand six hundred
tons of rails, 1,560 tons of merchant iron, 6,240 tons
puddled iron, and 1,560 tons of spikes per annum.
400 tons of pig iron are used every month. The
fish bar iron is made here, and the foundiy makes
all the castings needed by the company. The
water is forced up from the Walton Spring branch,
half a mile distant, at the rate of 150 gallons per
minute. The reservoir at the mill has a capacity
of 1,500 hogsheads. The spike-making machine
works rapidly and surely, doing all the work at the
same time. It is said to be the invention of a Vir
ginia mechanic. About two hundred operatives
are employed, to whom are paid oyer SIQ,OQQ per
month, or $120,000 per annum, for wages, an aver
age of S6OO to each hand. The capital stock of
the company is $500,000. The company supplies
our market and the railroads centreing here with
their merchant iron. One hundred tons of the fish
bar rail has been turned out for laying down the
tracks under the new passenger depot. Messrs.
Schofield & Cos. have a large store connected with
the mill, from which the operatives can purchase
all their supplies, from a hair pin to a beef steak,
as cheap as elsewhere. It is a great convenience
to the hands, and young Mr. Schofield, who super
intends it, is one of the most affable of gentlemen.
The Rolling Mill is adding much to tlfc material
wealth and prosperity of the city, causing millions
of dollars to flow into it. Mr.’ Schofield has en
larged and improved it, and, under his experience
and tact, it is becoming more valuable than a gold
min?. He has built four or five rolling mills. To
his experience is added indomitable energy and
a go-ahead disposition. To such an enterprise all
must wish success. The only regret is, that we
have so few of them. We need more factories and
more live men like Schofield.”

A Distinguished, Practical and Scientific
Planter, in an address to an Agricultural Socie
ty, makes use of this forcible language: “It is, 1
think, obvious to every one, who thinks on thi
subject, that fertilize*! are now a necessity for thi<
country. The system of planting hitherto pur
sued, of exhausting the ground and returnini
nothing to it, has necessitated a change in this (it
rection, and more especially is this necessaty, il
we are to get the highest yield from onr lands ol
of which they are capable." This is Truth: Then
it becomes important to the Farmer that he should
buy the best and cheapest fertilizer. Read the
advertisement of the Langdon Fertilizer in an
other column.

the City Missionary of Boston says abou
Allen’s Lung Balsam.
THERE CERTAINLY CANNOT BE FOUND A BET
TER COUGH OR LUNG REMEDY.
AS AN EXPECTORANT, IT BAS NO EQUAL.
• Boston, Mass., Feb. 18, 1869.
Messrs. P. Davis <& Son : Gentlemen —The package of
A1 leu’s Lung Balsam you sent me to use among the
afflicted poor in my city missionary work, has proved
very acceptable and useful. It has gone into several
families, and with remarkable effect in every instance.
One woman has been restored from what her physi
cian pronounced consumption, after several months’
sickness with cough, great pain in the lungs and pros
tration, so that she is able now to dp housework and
assist in the support of her family, and with care and
continued use of the Balsam, she expects entire resto
ration.
Another person, a ypung woman, to whom I gave
one bottle, has received great benefit, so that her cough,
which was of months' standing, is getting better, and
she has purchased the second bottle, and has every in
dication of a speedy enre.
A young man who was raising blood, and quite weak
and sick, has, by the nse o! two bottles, been much im
proved, and is able to do a little at his work.
A young man to Whom I recommended a trial of it,
who has had a bad cough, and much pain in his lungs,
for months past, and unable to get rest or sleep, has
commenced taking it, and is now using the fourth bot
tle with great benefit. He said to me, on a recent visit,
he would not do without if. He is hoping—and rea
sonably, it seems to me—to be able to resume his work
again.
Very respectfully and gratefully, yours,

REV. A. B. EARLE.
Rev. R. Fuller, D.D., says in the Ilelitjious Herald,
“We do not hesitate to pronounce Mr. Earle one of the
ablest men we have ever listened to. His intellectual
endowments are remarkable. The closest reasoning ;
the most natural wit and humor; a lively imagination ;
a correct taste; an intuitive insight into human na
ture; resources of strong, native Saxon, of gushing
emotions, of incident aud illustration drawn from eve
ry quarter—these he possesses and uses without any
effort. * * * *”
Such powers Mr. Earle has brought to this book in
unfolding the lessons, observations, and experiences oi
his crowded life. And he has given to it a wonderful
power to charm, comfort, help and strengthen. It is
most strongly commenced by the press and ministry.
It is having great success North and South, and though

MERCER UNIVERSITY.
The public have already been informed through
the newspapers, that, owing to technical difficulties in
the way of the removal of the University from Penfield
to Macon, the exercises of the Institution have been
temporarily sespended. During the interim, the Fac
ulty propose to give the same instruction as heretofore,
on their own account, in the city of Macon. The con
tinuity of the course of instruction will thus be unin
terrupted; the instructors will be tde same; the instruc
tion will be the same; the integrity of the old classes
will be preserved; the entire organization will be un
changed; Commencement exercises will be held as usual,
in July, and the practical result, to the students, will
be precisely the same as if the exercises of the Univer
sity had hot been suspended. When the removal of the
University to Macon is accomplished, the Faculty will
resume their official relations to it. In the meantime,
as the Faculty are dependent on their own exertions for
the success ot the pi esent enterprise, they have personal
as well as other reasons for soliciting the patronage of
their friends and the public. Whatever advantages of
instruction were ever afforded at Mercer University, are
now held forth. New apparatus, for the illustration of
the Natural Sciences, will be purchased, far superior to
that heretofore in use by the University. Rooms have
been engaged, not very imposing in outside appearance,
but they are commodious, perfectly comfortable and
quite as well adapted to our purposes as the rooms we
left in Penfield. These rooms are in the second story,
over Johnston’s jewelry store, a few steps distant from
the Lanier House, and on the opposite corner from the
new Court House, now in process of erection. The
first Term will open on Wednesday, the Ist day of Feb
ruary. The rate of tuition, payable in advance, will
be at the rate of One Hundred Dollars per Collegiate
year. Sons of ministers will receive tuition gratis, as
heretofore. The price of board (for the table) in Macon
varies from S2O to $25 per month. Lodging and other
expenses, from $5 to $lO per month.
Students will be received at any time.
7-Jjfcpac/al attention will be given to the instruction
of iaBBOCLAas, and instruction will be given in any
branch of science or art usually taught in Institutions if
the highest grade, and the students will be allowed to se
lect such branches as their parents or guardians may
prefer.
Those who desire farther information, may examine
the Catalogue of Mercer University, all the plans and
regulations of which hare been adopted by those en
gaged in the pre-ent enterprise. The Faculty will be
the same as heretofore, to-wit:

These articles lorm the bulk (4-5) of the “ LANGDON,”
to which are added proper quantities of Potash, Gyp
sum and Halt. These five ingredients form the com
pound. IT IS A HOME PRODUCTION. Large Cap
ital invested here in the Works, iiffoads a security lor
the guarantee of its purity. HON. C. G LaNQDON.
(Agricultural Editor Mobile Register,) gives adviso y
supervision to the production 01 this Fertilizer. No
High Freights from the' tar East, nor Large Commis
sions to Agents here, have to be paid, as must be true
of an article of foreign (Northern) u auufaciure, and
hence the “ Langdon” can be sold, and is sold Cheap
er, than any Standard Fertilizer in the market. The
COTTON SEED MEA-L is produced at the Works, and
the RA \V BONES are gathered Irom the surrounding
country and ground at my Mills. Farmers nre invited
to visit the Mobile Oil Mills and witness the operations
of producing the Langdon Fertiliser. Planters should
instruct lheir Merchants to buy for them THE LANG
DONE ERTILIZER, because it is a simple composi
tion of ai tic/es known to be good, and the Purity of
which is insured. Because it is sold at a lower prico
than any article ot a like quality could be, which is
brought from a distance. Because it will give greater
returns from its use, pound tor pound, tbuu any other
Fertilizer, no matter what the pi ice.
FROM THE MANY TESTIMONIALS from practical
men, these are here given :
Tuscaloosa, Ala., Dec. 22nd, 1870.
Col. W. D. Mann : Hir Your Circular ot the Ist
inst. came to baud. As we fouud the Langdon Fertil
izer the best that we tried, 1 give you my experience
with it. Our laud is poor, red lull land Used 200 lbs.
to the acre. We used one ton of Gillum’s, at $75;
three tons of Zell’s, at SBS per ton; two tons of Too
Langdon, at S6O per ton. Thu laud was all work'--*
alike, aud the same quantity used ot each. I did t*- 1
keep the weights of each field separate, but attended 1 •
the picking and weighing myself, aud know thut the 1 <•
wag more cotton guthered to the acre on the Langdu
than any other part of the place. The Zell’s was next
From my owu experience, and in the opinion of at i
farmers who took uotice of it, the Langdon Fertilize!
was far superior to any that we used.
Respectfully yours, Ac , C. H. Fitts.
Mr. Thomas H. Kennedy, of Meridian, Miss., alter
recounting his experience in the use of the Langdon
Fertilizer, says: “When I lived on my plantation in
Alabama, I used many kinds of manure, but 1 never used
anything that would bt-giu to compare with the Laug
don Ferti.izer.”
THE PRICE AT THE AUbLS IB 150 PER TON,
in five ton lots; $55 for a single tun; $6 per lUO lbs.,
for small lots.
It is exchanged for Cotton Heed, 800 pounds, iu strong
sacks, delivered Ireo on board boat or cars at Mobile,
for one ton Cotton Heed, free at the landing or depot
up country—Sucks and twine furnished by the Mills.
Os its cheapness, Col. Langdon says: " Its cheapuess
—I am fully convinced thut, at the price uow fixed by
you, to-wit: S6O per ton, (since reduced to $55,) it is
much the cheapest fertilizer in oji- market. Pound for
pound, I consider it more valuable tbun the prepara
tions that are selling at $75 to SBO. For my own use, I
would greatly prefer it to Peruvian Guaoo at the same
price.” Os its merits, be says : “ The result is the best
Fertilizer in the world tor our Southern lands, in my
opinion.
Again : “ It contains more fully and completely than
any other, the elements necessary for the production of
Southern crops and the renovation ot Southern soil.”
Prof. Chas. U. Shepard, Jr., M.D., Professor of
Chemistry, South Carolina Medical College, and In
spector of Fertilizers for South Carolina, who made a
full and careful analysis of the Langdon Fertilizer, says
of it: “Itis a very superior article.”
I also crush at the Mills, Raw Boues, which arc
ground fine. Price at the Mills, $45 per ton. Ground
Raw Bone is too well known us a stroug Fertilizer to
need comment. For Trees, Shrubbery and Grapes, it
has no equal. The Ground Bone of the Mobilo Oil
Mills is warranted to contain nothing but Bone,
