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 meeting to be the organization of a Dem ocratic Club. 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: Thi9 Club shall be called the Athens Democratic Club. The object of t;iis Club is to preserve the Democratic organization intact, and Democratic principles unchanged in any event. They recognize the National 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. On Motion of T. W. Rucker Esq., a committee of five was appiinted to nom inate suitable officers for the Club. Mes srs. Rucker, Lamar Cobb, J. M. Barry, H. Billups and II. Bcusse constituted the Committee: The following officers were reported and unanimously elected: President—Emory Speer. Secretary—J. M. Barry.

J. Swift, of 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 gtand old estates — embracing the finest lands for general farming on the fime of foe earth, sink Into decay, as foe forms-of all lands everywhere, till* e'd by free negroes have done T 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 ? —Farmer and Artisan. 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.

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 yond West End—possibly run direct to East Point It is also said that Atlanta wiU be the railroad centre between Rich mond and Vicksburg.

The white population of foe State 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 the shade of the prolific palm and plantain in Jamaica, so will he loiter in indolence in foe little hots which are throwing thrir sombre shades' 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.
