Our space will not ad mit i->r n report of these discussions; but they will probably lie given to the public at an early day. The address of Mr. .Jones, of Burke, on sheep-rais ing ought to lie published in every paper it> the,S ate; and the ad Ires# of Col. Tom Hardeman, himself a large cotton laetor, on the evils of the lien law and tin* credit system which it fosters, should he impressed upon the consider ation of every planter. Tlio Executive Committee elected Samuel B.unctt, Esq., Secretary, in )•!»• c of Col. Lewis, resigned, and de cide 1 to hold the next Fair at Atlanta, T.ic Summer session of the Conven- i.oii wid lx* held in Griffin—the repre- rcotativcs of that eity having been the first to tender an invitation from their city council to the Convention. The new Constitution, compiled by Samuel Rarnett, Esq., was laid over for action at the Summer Convention. The question of locating tho Agri cultural College was referred to a eom- niitii e of one from each Congressional district, who are to visit the different point, seeking the fund, to report at the Summer Convention. The claims of the Miiitarv Institute at Marietta, and of Griffin, were presented by Gen. Phillipi and Col. Nunnallv, and reso lutions in behalf of the claims of Dnh- lonega were presented by Mr. Martin, and referred to the Executive Commit tee. An effort was made by the friends of the Plantation to make that journal the organ of the Society, but was prompt ly voted down. This is the third or fourth time that the Society has very properly rebuked the attempt to secure the endorsement of that very excellent journal. Col. Lewis, the Secretary, in his re port, reiterated liis favorite scheme of publishing a monthly bulletin, or organ of the Society, and made r. calculation showing how it would pay ten or fifteen thousand dollars. The Convention seemed to regard the project with little favor. Its effect would be to injure . . . intnirfra- Ac people hurled from power bebetiim of its Corruption," Senator Hale about the same time declared that the liberties of the Amer ican people were more endangered, at that time, by the the corruptions of the Government, than by all the forces of the enemy then in the field ! And the Washington Patriot well olwerves, that from that day to this the forces of political corruption under the Repub lican dynasty have l>een gathering fresh head and an accelerated momen tum, until, by the admission of the Commission appointed by Grant him self, for the avowed purpose of effect ing a reform in the civil service, one- fourth of the entire public reveues of the Government is annually wasted and misapplied through official prof ligacy and incapacity. The amount wreuched from the people by various schemes of spoliation is largely over $100,000,000,besides the8380,000,000 annually required to run the cumbrous machinery of the Radical administra tion, a great portion of which is mis applied, embczzeled or wasted. The jieople of the South are so fa miliar with the corrupt and reckless waste of the party in power, that it is perhaps a waste of space to refer to it. But it must lie remembered that the delusive slogan of " let us have peace,” was effectually used to divert atten tion from the schemes of the plunder ers in the last Presidential election, and the people cannot be too often cautioned against the hollow pretences of reform under which they hope to succeed in the next. inary and m k tonlay, on the official dispatch sent to this gov ernment by Earl Granville, through the session of 1871, are worthy of pub- |Uc consideration, and we therefore ; give them a place in our columns; he Tariff and Fertilizers.— The New York Tribune, in an interes ting article, shows that commercial fer tilizers are 65 pier cent, higher in this country than in Liverpool or HSm- l»urg. -and that the cause of it is the tariff, which, until a rear ago. taxed Fire Gross j , r\F FOUTZ HORSE AND CAT- • • \J TLE I0WDEB3 for sale at Proprietor** ’“‘-“Sew drug store.

The results of the late census, so far as they are already known, seem to point even more than the preceding ones to the rapid growth of g-.vaf towns in Germany. During the war of lib- i eration, Berlin, winch haJ then ll>7,- 000 inhabitants, was the only town in Prussia with a population of more than 100,000. Berlin has now 828,000 in habitants, and besides the capita! Prussia lias ten cities with a popula tion of 100,000 in round numbers or upwards. They are: Breslau, 200,- 000; Elberfeld-Barmcn, 160,000 ; Cologne, 130,000; Konigsbcrg, 112,- 000; Magdeburg, with its suburbs Nenstadt, Sudenburg, and Bnckau, 110,000; Hanover, 105,000 ; Frank- fort-on-the-Main, with Bockenheim and Borhheim, 104,000; Dantzic, 100,- suall pass the title of said property to the vendee: Provided, That consent of the wife has been first obtained, till the debt or debts which said conveyance was made to secure shall be fully paid, aud shall bo held by the Courts of this Sfate to be nu aiwolute conveyance, with the right re served by the vendor to have said pro perty re-conveyed to him upoo the payment of the debt or debts intend ed to Ik* secured, agreeable to the terms of the contract, and not a moitgage ; and if the vendor in any 9uch contract shall fail to comply, substantially, with the terms of the contract, he shall not have a right thereafter to redeem said Cotton Claims.—TheUnited States Supreme Court has recently decided an important case in reference to claimants of cotton captured in the South. In the case in question, the plaintiff, a widow, was administratrix of her husband, a resident of Arkansas, who, iu his life-time, lmd given aid to ! 000; Stettin, 97,000, and Altona,95,- 000. In the rest of Germany there are four cities which have a popula tion exceeding 100,000. viz : Ham burgh, 240,000; Munich, 190,000; Dresden, 177,000, and Leipsic, 107, 000; while four have nerly reached that figure,viz: Stuttgard, 92,000; i rigni propertv by paviuent of said debt or Mr. cuas. h. drew, Tenor, delits.

That the vendor’s take to a re-conveyance of the property, upon his complying with the contract, shall not be affected by any liens, incumbrances or rights which would otherwise attach to property by virtue of the title being in tho vendee; but that the right of the vendor to a re-conveyance shall be absolute and permanent upon his complying with his contract with the vendee, according to the terms.

Besides the above mentioned cities, Prussia con tains seventeen towns with more than 30,000 inhabitants, which, according to the new regulations, will' therefore each form an iudependent administra tive circle. Among these are Aix-la- Chnpelle, 80,000; Dusseldorf, 80,000; Crefed, 70,000; Esseu, 45,000; Wies baden, 32,000; Cassel, 44,000; Halle- 52,000 ; Erfurt, 32,000 ; Possen, 60,- 000; Frankfort-on-Oder, 44,000; Potsdam, 42,000; Dortmund, 44,- 000, and Gerlitz, 46,000. From the above it appears that Prussia contains twenty-six cities which enjoy indepen dent administrative rights in the fullest measure, aud which altogether iuclude nearly 3,000,000 inhabitants, or about one-eighth of tho entire population of the kingdom. Newspaper Circulation.—So far as we are concerned in an editorial article in the Columbus Enquirer, ex posing the inconsistency of estimates of circulation, in reports of newspaper advertising agencies, we have simply to say that we have nothing to do with their inconsistencies. The only reliable estimates of circulation we know of in Georgia, are those which are furnished by the newspapers themselves, which announce at the head jf their columns iu capital letters that they have the “ largest circulation iu the State-”— Now this fact is attested by several of the journals of the State, published by men of honor and veracity, and when we sec it announced in that way we arc bound to believe it, and that’s enough. We thus know, for certain ty, that there are several daily papers in Georgia which Have the largest cir culation in the State—and several in cities which have the largest circula tion in that city and county. In the mouth of two or three witnesses shall every word lie established.—Macon Telegraph.

He says : The area of the roost is four square miles, and to one who never saw a sight of the kind it is truly amaxing.— From one hour of suu until uight the air is durkened with oouutlcss thou sands of tbfc birds flying from all direc tions (south of the river) inward to the roost. There isa granduer indescriba ble in the mpurufyl sound of rushing as the trackless armies, marshaled iu the viewless wind,” come sweeping to their bivouac. But the evening sight is uot to be compared to that • of the morning when the pigeons arc leav ing the roost. Rising upward from the bushes like columns of blue smoke, the rays of the morning sun paints them with rainbow tints, and a canopy over shadows the woods liketha sulphurous clouds above a battle Add.
