Among the Hay Fields.—At
the invitation of Mr. Bloomfield, we rode
out, a lew mornings ago, to look at the
grass and clover lots in the suburbs.
The dew was glistering in pcarl-likc beau
ty in the morning sun, and if wc had
space, and a little more fancy, we would
picture the rural charms of nature at that
particular hour ol this particular season
(spring-time, you know.) But as hay is
an intensely practical subject—especially
to those whose hay lofts are up North
River—we will not dally in fields of
posey and sentiment, but come at once to
the hay-fields. We first visited a lot of
an acre or two near Mr. Bloomfield's resi
dence, covered with a heavy crop of
orchard grass. It stood three to tour
feet high, in full bloom, and about ready
for the scythe. This lot was sowed five
years ugo, with a slight mixture ot clover
seed. The first year the yield was chief
ly clover ; but it has gradnaly given way
to the orchard grass, which now grow
year after year with undiminished luxuri
ance. This is the licst test of the adap
tation of this grass to our middle Geor
gia lands, that we have seen or read of.
The field is comparatively fresh, light
land, and was moderately manured at
the start.
Wc visited several ether small lots, in
which Mr. Bloomfield has beer, experi
menting, and found in all a paying crop.
On one field where the orchard grass
was almost waist high, the herds grass,
sowed at the same time had hardly made
a sign. Mr. Bloomfield prefers the orch
ard grass, with n slight mixture of clover,
to any other hay, and has just finished
feeding to his stock the supply cut last
year.
We visited the field of fifteen or twen
ty acres, known among Mr. Meeker's
friends, who have been skeptical of his
success, as his “sinking fund.” Three
years ago it was a barren old field, long
since turned out to “ rest.” lie com
menced with rye, we believe, manuring
by ploughing under one or two crops of
peas. Then he sowed clover, and is now
entting a good burden of hay. A por
tion ot it will yield two to three tons to
the acre, the present cutting. The lots
referred to arc on the elevnted ridge
penetrated by Millcdge Avenue, and are
not by any means favorable for grass
culture. With such results, under such
circumstances, with only moderate man
uring, the grass question ought to be
considered settled.
According to previous notice, * large
and enthusiastic meeting of the Democ
racy of Athens was held at the Court
House on Wednesday night
On motion ot J. M. Barry, Gen. J. E.
Frierson was called to the chair, and
George Palmer Esq., requested to act as
Secretary.
Gen. Frierson stated the object of the

On motion of Emory Speer Esq., a
committee of three was appointed to re
port a constitution for the Club. The
chair appointed Messrs. Emory Speer, A.
L. Mitchell and S. A. Atkinson. The
Committee reported the following:

Democratic Club.
The object of t;iis Club is to preserve

Democratic Convention to be held at
Baltimore in July as the authoritative
exponent ot the party.
This Club will support no man for auy
county office who is not nominated by a
regular Convention of the Democratic
party of the county.
The officers of this Club shall consist
of a President, a Secretary, aTre&surer,
and an Executive Commute of four to be
appointed by the President. The Presi
dent shall be the fifth committeman, and
chairman.
Dr. J. B. Carlton offered the following
amendment to the report, which was a-
greed to:
This Club shall be subject and auxillia-
ry to a county Club, if one is formed.
Muj. Cobb, offered the lollowing,
which was agreed to:
The officers shall hold their offices tor
one year, or until their successors are
elected.
After some discussion, the report of the
Comittcc as amended, was adopted.

ard Phinizy, of Athens has been elected

Columbus, second medalist, and Mr. R.
W. Patterson, of Ma?on, medalist from
the Sophomore Class.
Mr. Editor :—You have saiJ an
occasional line from Hart would be
acceptable.
Our county being so very quiet, our
citizens so very civil, law abiding and
busy on their farms, your correspond
ent finds nothing that could interest
you or your readers. The past fort
night has been remarkable for the very
cold nights, dry, hot and windy days,
and rain has been and is still veiy much
needed. Iu consequence of the cold
nights the prospects for a good cotton
crop are gloomy. I understand that
the Temperance cause in our town is
still flourishing. Some seventy names
have been enrolled, and I hope they
may increase. I was present, accident
ly, at a lecture delivered to the Lodge
by a Mr. Moore of your place, a per
ambulating sewing machine man.—
Heretofore politics in our county has
been at a low ebb, but the Cincinnati
nomination has incited a belligerent
spirit in some of our good citizens.—
Hart has the honor, if it be an honor,
to have been the first to strike for
Greeley—the question of preference
of the two G’s arose, which terminated
in blows and scratches, and I heard
one drop of blood was drawn by the
Greeley advocate. We understand
both parties were Democrats (so-call
ed), and we think it advisable that
they wait till after the 9th July, in
order they have a man who is worth
fighting for. It is expected that our
county will reorganize our county club
in a short time that we may be prop
erly prepared for the approaching
Campaign. More anon.
Silas,
mitigated curse. The folly of relying
bo that sort of labor to repair our
waste places is a delusion. Are the
planters of Georgia willing to nee their

finest lands for general farming on the
fime of foe earth, sink Into decay, as
foe forms-of all lands everywhere, till*

1 -We give a portion of the colored
race due credit for their faithfulness.
They have done, and are doing much
better than anybody expected. But
as a, race they will never do to rely on
for steady, and especially for skilled
labor. 1 hey are not advancing iu skill in
the rude arts which slavery taught
them. Negro mechanics, which were
a source of much irritation in foe days
of slavery, make no sign in unaided
competition with white intelligence
and skill.
From every avenue of progressive in
dustry and enterprise—from our bald
old fibjds and fertile savannahs—-from
our forest solitudes, and deep down
amiq the hidden stores of our mineral
wealth—there is rising up, in loud
aeda&tji^to the laborers of all :lands,
the Macedonian cry—“come over and
help us.” Will not our thinking plan
ters, and our Legislators catch some of
this inspiration, and open the way
whereby the ill-paid toilers of Europe
may be induced to respond to the cry ?

The Central Railroad and
the New York Steamship Line.—On
Tuesday the six side-wheel steamships,
viz: the General Barnes, Herman Living
ston, Rnpulan, San Salvador, Magnolia,
and San Jacinto, were transferred to the
control of the Central Railroad, in the
name of William 31. Wndley, Esq., repre
senting the company, and they will here
after hail from Savannah.
The transfer papers required six hun
dred dollars worth of United States in
tcrnal revenue staps.
An Awkward Blunder.—By
some strange slip of the pen we referred
to the hotel in Chattanooga where the
Press Gang were so splendidly entertain
ed as the “ Burns House.” It was the
Read House, instead; of which Dr.
Read is the Proprietor. To feed a lot of
hungry editors, and have the credit all
ascribed to a rival house, is about as
empty a reward as Byron’s idea of fame
—to die on the battle field and have
one’s name misspelled in the gazette.
“ Haymaker ” — Savannah —
writes to know if orchard grass and clover
do well together. In this latitude, yes;
but in Savannah, “ Red Top” and rye
have a stronger affinity, though they do
not *in-ays produce a good stand.
The Meeting To-morrow.—The
meeting to-morrow to select delegates
to the State Democratic Convention
has a most important duty to perform.
It should indicate the wish of the peo
ple of Clark county in reference to the
action at Baltimore.
Primary assemblages are the proper
places to get a fair expression of the
popular will. Wc doubt if the people
of Clark county are ready to declare
whether or not they approve the ac
ceptance of Greeley as their candidate,
by the Baltimore Convention;
whether they desire a Democratic
nomination. They certainly do not
desire to accept Greeley if they can
help it without disorganizing the con
servative strength of the country, and
they may safely so declare.
There should be great care in selecting
delegates who are not easily influenced
by timid counsels—men of judgment,
and men who really desire, if possible,
to preserve the Democratic organiza
tion. Send no men, who, if Demo
crats, “ didn’t go to be,” and don’t de
sire to be, if they can find any other
organization that is respectable. Such
men will be too ready to accept Gree
ley or anybody else, to beat Grant,
and at the same time destroy the or
ganization to which they have no real
attachment Let men be sent, wheth
er Whigs or Democrats in the past,
who are brave and true Democrats
now.

Heavy Railroad Investments
in Atlanta. — The Atlanta Constitution
iearns from a reliable real estate agent,
ami others, that in the past few days the
Southern Security Railroad Company
have invested $75,000 in real estate, in
the 3d and 4th wards in that city, and
will invest some $75,000 more in these
wards. Solitude Strawberry Plantation,
owned by F. D. Thurman, containing
about nine acres, has been bought for
$18,000. This, we learn, will be the site
"l the machine and work shops of the
Atlanta an.] Richmond Air-Line Railway
Company. The lot known as the Roger’s
butcher pen, on McDonough street, has
been bought, we learn, as a site for the
freight depot.
It is proposed to extend the track of
the Air-Line either above or below the
cemetery, along this route, and connect
with Macon and Western Railroad be

East Point It is also said that Atlanta

We have been furnished, by the
committee appointed by the State Ag
ricultural Society to memorialize the
Legislature on the subject of Itnraigra
tion, of which Col. Frank Schaller is
chairman, with a copy of an able pa
per on the subject, recently prepared
by Col. Schaller for the Southern Mag
azine, which argues the question in all
its bearings. We regret that the great
length of the paper prevents its
appearance in our columns. The
writer reviews the history of Immigra
tion in the South since the war, and
shows why the efforts that have been
m ide have not been more successful.
He also demonstrates the necessity of
a large influx of men and means from
broad, in order to maintain our posi
tion in the scale of national growth.
He shows what the Western States
have done, and are doing, to attract
settlers—shows how these settlers are
building up the wealth and political
power of the Great West, and how
completely we shall be at their mercy,
in a few years, in shaping the Legisla
tion of the country. He shows that
progress must be slow, and results
questionable, without organized State
efforts, through Boards of Agriculture
and Immigration, who can give official
guarantees of good faith, in the in
ducements offered to immigrants, and
official refutation of the false impres
sions which exist concerning our social
and political condition.
We wish every thinking man in the
State counld be permitted to read Col.
Schaller’s most admirable papier. The
condition of oar industries is anything
but promising. It is questionable if,
taking into account the wear and tear
of the “rich spiots,” and “fresh bot
toms,” on which we have made a fair
show of crops, we are really in as good
condition as we were four years ago.
Whatever improvements there may
have been, here and there, in our la
bor system, it has in it but a small ele
ment of real progress—and affords
nothing but discouragement to all ad
vanced ideas of husbandry and diver
sified industry. We must have more
skilled and intelligent labor; we must
have more small farms, and more of
the land-saving and land-improving
habits which have kept the old lands
of Europie constantly increasing in
productiveness while our new lands
have been, and still are, year by year
on the decline.
Those who are accustomed to ^sy,
“The negro is good enough laborer for
me,” would do well to review the his
tory of agriculture in the fertile islands
of the West Indies, since emancipa
tion, and compiare them with their
condition before. The negro in Geor
gia is the same easy-going moke that
he is in Jamaica. He is the same in
origin, in blood, in hanits, and under
the license of freedom will inevitably
sink into the semi-barbarism which
marks his career in the tropics. Not
so'fast, pierhaps, here as there; be
cause more closely in contact ..ere
with -white influence and example,
and denied by nature some of the pro
lific bounties on which to exist in total
idleness. But aa Sambo basks under

Georgia State College of Agriculture
and Mechanic Arts.
Dr. D. Lee, who for some time fill
ed the chair of the Terrell Professor
ship of Agriculture in the University
of Georgia, and who has labored with
unremitting zeal for a quarter of a
century to awaken au interest in the
science of Agriculture at the South,
thus writes to the Plantation concern
ing the new industrial college:
More than thirty years ago the un
dersigned published a paper in Buffalo,
New York, which he called “ Honest
Industry.” As the name implies, its
object was to cultivate and elevate the
industrial mind of the United States.
In that connection, it was deemed 'vise
to collect statistics relating to the agri
cultural) manufacturing and mining
industry of the country. This hnmble
pien received a letter of thanks from
Henry Clay for articles written in that
behalf; and Congress made a law to
collect such statistics for the first time
in the census of 1841. How surely
has been the rise of Honest Industry
in the public estimation since its dig
nity and importance were fairly
brought before the American people!
At another time, I may copy one or
more letters written by the lamented
Dr. Terrell, to show bow much this
distinguished Georgian was in advance
of others on the subject of industrial
science and learning. Now, my pur
pose is to commend the executive wis
dom which has given the proceeds of
the United States Land Scrip to the
State University, and the alacrity with
which its officers have organized a
College of Agriculture and the Me
chanic Arte ”
A want of first rate text-books to
place in the hands of students in
this new. College will be the most
serious impediment in the way of im
mediate, ‘satisfactory results. In old
Literary Colleges, time and necessity
have supplied such text-books os the
several dosses need. When before
were Tillage, Husbandry and common
Mechanic Arts taken fairly and square
ly into College life and association?
The world moves. .>
Judge Watts, who has beeu Presi
dent of the Pennsylvania Agricultural
Department in this city (Washington),
says “ there can be no proper Agricul
tural College without the students
work daily an hour or more on a farm,”
In some counties the people have given
over two hundred thousand dollars to
get a State Agricultural College loca
ted within the county; and Mr. Cor
nell, of Ithaca, New York, gave five
hundred thousand dollars to have it on
a part of his estate, donating over one
hundred acres extra for the purpose.
All this means that the good dtizens of
Athens should give one or two hundred
acres of land, on which five hrddred
boys can dig their grub out of the
ground, while their heads are being fill
ed with most useful knowledge. The
writer learned his Greek Grammar
while the oxen with which he plowed
were dining on hay or grass; and he
believes in honest industry and sound
learning combined. D. Lee.
