ATHENS, CECRCIA.
J- r/tlaj’j March 8,1872.
Two Krrh Cotton.
From the uppre tv.tnviifos extending
to ifcs very base of tire Bhn Ridge, we
fcmr of unu.-un) preparations for a cot*
t.eorop. Thwite planting cotton who
never planted it before, and those who
Itave cried it with success for the last
year or two, are increasing their acre
age in this captivating staple. We are
constantly reminded that these fool
newspaper men are always giving ad
vice about matters they don’t under
stand ; and we sometimes hesitate
about urging even suggestions dictated
by eftmmon prudence, when they run
counter to the prevailing' tendency.—
Hut if svnewspaper has any mission, it
is to matte suggestions which concern
. the public weal; and we are- strongly
impressed with the conviction that the
recent attention paid to cotton in North-
Kast Georgia will end in disaster.—
Therefore we propose to put a few
thoughts concerning it on record,,
though every planter in the scope of
our circulation turns up his nose in
derision.
The last two seasons have been un
usually 1-uig; the fine weather of Oc
tober ami November bringing out
fair product of cotton in fields almost
deemed hopeless in August. Those
who used stimulating manures, giving
the crop an early start, have doubtless
found cotton a more profitable crop
than corn or grain, during ihe period
referred to. Prices have this season
l>ecn high, nnd this, added to the above
favorable circumstances, has produced
a perfect cotton fever from here to the
mountains. It must be admitted that
the Inst two falls have been exceptional.
Frost was two or three weeks later
tlmn the average of years. It is also
undisputed that the present Spring is
one of the latest known to our planters.
Scarcely a furrow has been turned, or
a seed planted, even of the hardy gar
des vegetables. If lands are properly
>pre|>arcd, all planting must be two to
three weeks later than usual. Then
with an early frost, or even an avenge
dull, is it. safe to count on a good crop
•of cotton in the district referred to ?
Many of our planting friends are not
only straining every nerve to increase
Uhe urea of cotton, but straining their
•credit also for fertilizers, entangling
themselves with crop liens, in the un-
•ccntnin hope of realizing for their high
ilntitude all the rich rewards which are
dreamed of in the alluvial cotton belt
We tremble for the result of such
.hazardous ventures, and urge our
planting friends to weigh well the con
sequences of failure, before risking so
muoh on the uncertainties of a cotton
crop. Even if their expectations are
fully nwlized, it is doubtful if their
condition will bo improved by making
ettntou their main dcpendance. The
pilcutcrs of the cotton belt, arc in far
««tt« condition now than those of the
!?rnim districts. In many sections grim
poverty and hopeless ruin stare them
in the face. Such a result can be
averted in North Georgia, if her plan
ters will not run mad after the wizard
of She loom. If they would spend
their surplus money for sheep and im
proved breeds of horses and cattle, sow
a part of their rich bottoms to 'grasses
and their light uplands to oats; and
if they plant cotton at all, risk a small
rieh area, which can be tilled without
neglect of the general routine o. a grain
and stock farm, we have the temerity
t« iuri-t that it would be the wiser
policy. Hut they will plant cotton.—
It is of h i use to talk, or write to the
contrary. The cotton fever is ns con
tagious as the bloody murrain or the
hog cholera, mid must sweep wherever
tho plant will grow knee-high to
buinhie-bee. So let it sweep. Tho
day will surely come when the warn
ings of these foul newspaper men will
be appreciated. It may be too late to
Iwnefit them, nr save the objects of their
couiwls from the dull thud of the
Sheriffs hammer.

Commercial Subjugation of the South.
During tho war, as the result of the
contest trembled in the scale, the peo-
plo of the 8outh congratulated them
selves that if we failed to establish our
political independence, the struggle had
looted us from commercial vassalage.
It was a universal sentiment that wc
would not trade with the Yankees, and
it .w&s^ declared that merchants •who
bought their goods North would not be
patronized. How different the result!
Tho demand for Northern goods is far
greater than ever, and thousands of
cross road merchants who never saw
New York before the war, make reg
ular pilgrimages there to replenish
their stocks. Our commercial towns
have felt this diversion of trade most
seriously. It has resulted largely
from the want of commercial facilities
South at the close of the war, and the
fact that the policy of the government
has centred the banking capital chiefly
in the commercial centres there ever
since—a very material item in the
work of consuigmatiug our commercial
.
The expanding cordon of railroad
combinations is steadily and surely di
verting much of tho business which
has flowed to our Southern ports; and
there is significant force iu the recent
boast of Forney, that Tom Scott’s
grand railroad mouopoly is equivalent
to a complete aud lashing conquest of
the South. If this gigantic scheme is
consummated, the cream of the busi
ness of our producing districts will be : which they always contain, and which

throe weeks since. Total receipts since

916 for the corresponding period of the
previous par, showing a decrease of
673,578. Exports from all porta for
the week, 89,553, against 141,872 for
the same week list
*t year. Total ex
ports for the expired portion of the
cotton year, 1,818,910, against 1,848,-
306 for the same time last year.—
Stock at all the porta, 507,148, against
659,70* for same date last year. Stocks
drawn to the great Northern markets,
and our own ports will languish on the
drippings.
Transportation is the key to com
merce ; it is more—it is the stream
that turns its wheels. With our great
lines of communication solidified in a
grand monopoly, controlled by North
ern capital, with tariffs arranged in the
interest of Northern cities, what pros
pect have we, for the developement of
Southern commerce, or the encourage
ment of Southern industry ?
These monopolies are repugnant to
the spirit, as well as damaging to the
interests of our people; and it is hoped
that a speedy and earnest effort will be
made to prevent the consummation of
the work of our hopeless business en
slavement. Already we hear the own
ers of stock in lines which this great
combination seeks to swallow up, free
ly advocating a lease, if thereby an in
crease of dividends he secured. Such
selfishness deserves enslavement, and
it is hard that the business future of
the fairest and most productive por
tion of the whole country, should be
sapped and blighted by such mean
ideas of petty gain.
Our ports must decline, and great
disaster result to our splendid railroad
system. And with these changes,
our political integrity will be gravely
imperilled. Monopoly is the hand
maid of centralism, and this bloated
embodiment of groat lines of transport
ation, all pointing to the centres of po
litical and commercial power, controll
ed in the interest of bond-lords and
tariff-rings, will wield an influence to
be dreaded. And the saddest feature
of this startling innovation is, that in
fluential Southern men are giving it
their support. Well may tho Lynch-
burg (Ya.) Republican remark, that
if the visions of direct trade and com
Mercia! independence are to fade away
front our sight, and the flattering tale
with which hope cheered the desolated
South in her efforts at recuperation is
to be heard no more, the fact that these
promised blessings might have been
ours but for the treachery of our own
people in high places, will canse their
names to be held in eternal execration.
If, as the Philadelphia Prat jubilantly
proclaims, the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company lias made conquest of the
Hontii, it la a bitter thought to feel that
Southern men, who claimed to tie of ns
and with us, have proven false to the
trusts confided to their keeping,
have opened the citadel gates with tlieir
own hands for the enemy to enter and
possess. Ill gotten gains never yet did
their possessors any lasting good. When
Judas became aware of tlic evil his
treachery had done, he went and hanged
himself. In this day men who betray the
material fortunes of tlieir fellowcitizens
are too insensiblo to commit suicide. Imt
a just public sentiment will, sooner
results from the combination of sul
phuric acid with a portion of the lime
originally combined with phosphoric
acid, is not only food for plants, but it
is one of the most powerful aud per
sistent absorbers and fixers of ammo
nia known. For this purpose it is
often used alone as ground plaster, but
in the latter .form its availability is far
less than when it is applied as a con
stituent of a super-phosphate. In the
one case it is simply ground by me
chanical means, and even though it be
pulverized extremely fine, and sifted
through the finest bolting cloth, under
the microscope it looks like a moss of
coarse grains. The sulphate of lime
existing in super-phosphates, on the
contrary, is a chemical precipitate, of
snch extreme fineness, that even under
a powerful microscope 1t presents the
appearance of a pulp. Its extreme
degree of comminution not only clothes
every minute molecule with a power
to seize and retain the ammonia which
is contained in the atmosphere, but
likewise endows it with a property of
becoming readily dissolved, and thus
fitted to yield up its constituent parts
to the rootlets of plants. And so with
many other constituents of super
phosphates. Although there are yet
some modes of their action which are
not yet perfectly clear, yet their value
is fully established, and they have
proved themselves indispensable to
thorough cultivation of the soil. In
these days of scarce, aud partly un-
mnnagablc labor, it is the dictate of
sound policy to cultivate a restricted
acreage, and to thoroughly manure
the land, rather than to half manure,
and half till a larger area. Experi
ence has justified this inode of action
in the most unmistakable manner, and
our planters arc becoming convinced
of ita soundness.

While tho icwipta indicate a very
iii3tcri.il reduction from the crop of the
ferred to again. Through the mother
of the girl and others of the denomina
tion, it is learned how the alleged im
proper intimacy between the girl and
her pastor began, was kept up and
finally disclosed. It is alleged to have
commenced as far back as two years
ago, thq girl being now sixteen years
of age, according to her mother’s state
ment, who represent^ that Mr. HusOflt
professed a gnat interest in her daugh
ter and her education, visited her fre
quently, invited her to his own house
to see him in his study, and she (the
mother) felt gratified aud relieved by
t!u? interest tua*'taken-in her child.—
T.ieg:rl repro-ents U» her mother that
fce insidiously perverted her morals,
suggesting at toe same time that he
wotud not counsel her to anything that
was Wrong. He became apparently
infatuated, following np his attentions
assiduously, even appearing at the
school where she attended, under pre
tense of being interested in her studies
aud progress, at other times and fre
quently putting himself in tho way <>f
meeting aud joining her on the street.
Incredible as it may appear, the • j'irh
has further stated to her mother ti
Mr. Huston had taken her to
houses of assignation, ou$ of which
kept by p colored woman, whoW
former servant in Mr. Huston’s house,
and who came from the South with
him.
In regard to the letter mentioned on
Saturday as having been written by
the girl to a young man, and then said
to have proposed an assignation, the
following statement is now givon,
which puts it iu n somewhat modified
aspect: The principal of the public
school which the girl was attending
heard that a young man had gome in?
formation in respect to certain rumors
afloat about the girl, aud he Wrote to
the young man, (a photographer, whom
she previously knew,) asking a, private
and confidential interview. When the
young man came they had a long talk,
but the young man denied all knowl
edge, except from hearsay. The next
day the young man came to the teacher
and showed him h note from the girl,
which he had received siuce their in
terview. The note made no reference
to Dr. Huston, and contained no im
proper proposals; but there were ex
pressions in it which, taken in connec
tion with the rumors, the teacher con
sidered sufficient to justify him in re
questing her withdrawal from school by
her mother, who is also a teacher.
The note was read to the girl’s moth
er in her presence, and he then ad
vised the girl to make an open confes
sion to her mother, which he under
stood she did. There was a note also
sent to the girl at her house, which the
mother obtained. It named the street
and number of a house where an an
swer would be received by the writer,
and asking her to meet him at a certain
place.
After the disclosures which the girl
made to her mother, the latter came
to the teacher for advice, and he re
commended her to go to the pastor of
the church. The girl’s mother is quite
heartbroken. She had been educating
her daughter for teaching, who, it is
stated, was very quiet and unobtrusive
in school.
The girl explains the writing of the
letter to the photographer, alleging
that she had been instigated thereto by
the vile suggestions of preventing any
evil consequences from previous crim
inal intimacy.
Upon the charge being made known
to them, two gentlemen, one a promi
nent minister of the denomination in
the city to which Mr. Huston was at
tached, visited him on Monday morn
ing last. The ministerial visitor told
Huston that they had come to inform
him of some unpleasant news, of which
Huston at once said he was already
trouble.—Bil. Sun, 27th ult.

According to the opinions of leading
agricultural chemists, manures may act
in several different ways. Professor
8. \V. Johnson, of Yale College, states
that they may act as follows
1st They may enter the plant as
direct nutriment. Carbonic add,
water, ammonia, nitric add, sulphuric
add, phosphoric add, oxide of iron,
chorine, lime, magnesia, potash and
soda are the elements of nutrition—
the essential plant-food. In a fertile
soil these materials are accessible to
the plant. If one of them l<c ak-ent,
the soil is barren uif a substance that
contains the missing a >Jy hr apt’lv.1
to the soil, it makes tho latter fertile.
2d. Manures may act partly as sol
vents, or absorbents, and thus indirect
ly supply food to the plant—for in
stance, lime, gypsum, salts of ammo
nia, Ac.
3rd. Manures may act by improv
ing the physical character of the soil.
They may make it warmer, lighter
or heavier, more or less retentive of
moisture, Ac. Lime, marl and muck,
which are generally applied in large
quantities, afford exarnplesoftfyia man
ner of actidn.' .’ • - f -•
It is" evident that when soils are con
tinually cropped, elements of fertility
are gradually withrawn by plants, and
it is iu order to restore this loss that
manures ' are principally furnished.
But although as a source of direct nu
triment manures are especially useful,
their other inodes of action ought not
to be lost sight of, as they are undoubt
edly of great value—particularly when
they are induded in the second class.
A fertilizer which" affords to the soil
sulistauces which act in all three of the
ways above enumerated, possesses ad
vantages which entitle it to be ranked
high among manures. A single appli
cation fulfills all the requirements
needed for the amelioration of the soil,
and at the same time yields n liberal
supply of plant food, capable of prompt
and easy assimilation. This is the
chief reason why super-phosphates of
lime are so valuable to the soil. By
the very method of their manufacture
new combinations are formed which
render them useful, both .is direct nu
triment, and as solvents and absorb
ents. The sulphate of lime which

THE EFFECTS OF ‘

e past two seasons has been most satisfactory, as a SPECIAL

For the
COTTON
detitinl difficulties it had to contend with.
Results have certainly demonstated the necessity of modifyi U a i.,
COMPOSITION OF FERTILIRERS to the physical and chemical con
dition of the soil, equally as to the production of plant food neceJirv
for particular crops. Therefore I have prepared a Fertilizer 3
Adapted to the Requirements of Each Kind of Soil,
No. 1, for Light Gray Sandy Land, Cash, $55 Per Ton
No. 2, for Red Clay Land,- Cash, $60 Per Ton.
For each kind, §5 per ton additional will be charged for time to 1st ot
November next.
The SPECIAL PECULIARITY that all have remarked in this preparation
is, that it ’
Hot only increases the Crop two to three fold,
BUT SUSTAINS THE PLANT AGAINST DROUGHT k HEAT.
Numbers of our most respectable planters attest this fact The. limits of
an advertisement will not admit of the introduction of much testimony,
but I am kindly permitted to refer to a number of the most distinguished'
Planters in the State who have used this Fertilizer, and expressed their
unqualified approval of its value, viz:
