Slmri Rose Dead.
The Macon Messenger of the 5th came
to ns draped in deep mourning on account
of the death of Simri Rose, one of the
proprietors. Mr. Rose was one of the very
oldest publishers in the State, and one of
the best of men. In politics he was an old
line whig, always conservative, and unswer
ving in his advocacy of what he deemed
right and just, and we doubt whether any
man in Georgia has done' more for the es
tablishment of the principle, of “Wisdom,
Justice and Moderation,” than this philan,
thropic and generous man. The news of
his death will bring sadness to the hearts
of all who knew him. Those who knew
him best will deepest mourn his loss.
We clip the following from the Macon
Messenger, of 5th inst.:
It is with feelings of the sinceres*. regret
that we announce the death, yesterday
morning, at his residence in this cit ,*, of
Mr. Simri Rose, one of the late proprietors
of the Jonrnal and Messenger, and a gen.
tleman widely known and highly esteemed
throughout the State.
Mr. Rose has been a resident of Macon
almost from the day the first log cabin was
built on its presant site, coming here about
the year 1823. From that day till about
one year ago he was engaged in the news
paper publicatisn business—first of the
Georgia Journal, and then the Georgi'
Journal and Messenger. He was an indus
trious, conscientious and influential uaa in
his profession, and his loss will be mourned
by no class more than by the old subscri
ber^ to this paper, many of whom have
been reading it for over a quarter of acen
tury.
Mr. Rose, at the time of his death, was
Grand Secretary of the Grand Lodge of
Masons in this State.
ffis disease, which was pneumonia only
attacked him Friday aight. He was in
the -'70th year of his age at the time his
death.
The funeral services will take place this
a ternoon, at 4 o’clock, at the Mulberry
street Methodist Church.
' Funeral of Simri Rose.
Tim business Houses of Macon were
nearly all closed last Monday afternoon in
respect to the memory of Simri Rose, de
ceased; The funeral was preached by Rev
E. fif: Warren, of the Baptist Church, in
the jlulberry street Methodist Church —
His remains were buried with Masonic hon
ors, and were followed to the grave by that
Fraternity, all the survivors of the Macon
Volji'ntiers, of whioh he was an original
meu&arj-ond numerous friends.
f WSSjUfr It Mean!
Tlie following mysterious advertisement
is clipt from the column of “Personals” in
the New York Herald of a recent date. If
his «Boss”had been constantly at the State
Capital'Attending to his business as Govern
or, tierc would probably be no necessity
for advertising to ascertain the whereabouts
of Mr. Eugene Davis, Ills Secretary.—
These “Personals” in the Herald do not
always mean precisely what they read; but
we hope it will really be to the advantage
of Mr.' Davis for the advertiser to learn his
address. The following is the card:
Information Wanted—of Eugene Da
vis, pow, ■ r lately, private secre tary to Gov
ernor Bullock, of Georgia, Hi* present

Cennectlcat Election.
The i-idicationi are that the election
held in that State last Monday was very
clos . The Republicans claim the State by
1,000 majority. Grant’s majority last fall
was 2,936.
Tlie Confederate Dead.
We hope the Ladies of Rome and vicin
ity will bear in mind that the anniversary
day for decorating the graves of the Con
federate dead, is-the 26th inst., and mil
suitable arrangements for the occasion.

Seasons and Crops.
Taken firoui my Farm Jonrnal. The frost
of the 5th was heavy, destructive to fruit
and garden tender vegetables exposed.
“On the 7th of April, 1867, we had
heavy frost, after heavy rains—Mercury at
7, a. m.', 46°. That frost destroyed the
fruit crop of Northern Georgia, though the
! - i fruit was more forward that season, by three
!*• i u 1 weeks, than this, as th« peach trees were in
■ |ft 1 full bloom in February.
S , i - “The frost of - this morning, the 5th, was
'•'V 3! • also heavy,, i and the Mercury stood at 33
f- j degrees,.at'7, a. m—33 degrees lower than

These extracts have been taken from my
“Farm Jpurnal,” showing the agricultural

tion how largely the grain crops have been
curtailed, to increaso the production of cot

The present aspe'otof the agricultural sit-
uaticn should cause the farmers to look

ilantcd limited corn crops and large cotton

S. F. Stephens, Esq, President Car-
tersviUe and Van Wert Railroad Company,
Cartersville, Georgia—Dear Sir: Yours of
the 1st inst., requesting that this Boad pass
“all -.ersons wishing to take an interests in
the next meeting in this place, (Cartsville )
April 8t h,” has been received; and in re
ply, I beg leave to inform you that the
necessary instructions have been issued in
accordance with your request, and that
notice of the saute will be given though the
press.
The importance to the State Road of the
work iu which you are engaged can hazdiiy
be ove --estimated.
Penetrating and developing as it will a
section of the State remarkable for its rich
and abundant mineral deposits; converting
into wealth that which now lies dormant
apd comparatively valueless; it cannot fail
to enrich tfio projectors of the enterprise
and all owning property on and contiguous
te its line, and that for whioh it will bn
an outlet to markets, by greatly and rapid
ly enhancing its value.
Its completion will make tiartersvUle
what she should long siuce have become—
a manufacturing ci[y second to none iu the
State.
Her close proxi oily to the iron beds on
yonr road—situated as she is in tbs heart
of a fertile and productive agricultural sec
tion, affording cheap living to the opera
tive—offers advantages to the manufac
turer seldom met with.
Tho Iron crop of Gi orgia, skillfully and
energetically developed will, in a few years
exceed in value her present cotton crop.
Regarding yoqr road as one eminently
calculated to fieyelop this interest, and
when complete to contribut; largely to (be
business of this road I heartly 'approve of
your enterprise, and will cheerfully aid y<
and y ;ur Board of Directors in your effor
to seoure and early completion.
Very respectfully,
Your obedient servant,

accepted the invitation,and was received
with great cordiality. : A fall turn out '• O'

tice having been done thereto, the Presi
dent in few words, gntefnlly expressed
the' pleasure of tire club in meeting General
Blair, to which that gentlemen replied with
mnch good taste and feelitig. He said," in
subetanoe, that he had taken his place In
the ranks of the army of the United State*
in good frith, for the purpose of preserving
the I Juion of the State on the basis of the
Constitution, and that The war ended by the
surrender ot the Southern States without
thejr being required'to-consent ta any dis
honorable conditions. ' Subsequently* new
and oppressive conditions hod been fmposod
on the South by tho dominant friction in
Congress, to which be had not given his as
sent. Those conditions were not such as
tie North should exact nor the 8outh
agree to. He had therefore cast his lot with
the South,preferring to share her fate and
participate jo the disfranchising aots and
other disabilities to whioh Congress has seen
fit to subject her. Gen.- Harry Hays
responded on the part of the'club, eompU-

clash with each other: One of the most
s-.rio n objectionso-the-cotton crop, is its
iuiompatibiiityi with other crops < From
January to January,its calls are almost in
cessant—especially is it difficult to manage
small grain in connection with it. Whilst,
therefore, wethave-no disposition to join in
an indiscriminate outcry against cotton,wU
should be exceedingly glad to see the cot
ton crop brought within legitimate bounds,
and other crops advanced to their proper
diuicnsions-in comparison with it. In the
language of Bishop Fierce, --“wo protest
against the eot on screw stretching out its
long arms, as if it, would take in all the
farm.” Another Very important consider
ation, which we hope onr readers will not
forgct,is;that farmers who raise cotton to
bay provisions,are very often compelled to
force sales of cotton at ruinous prices. Wit
ness the experience of 1867—one of the
most disastrous years in the history of
cotton planting at the Southland much of
cotton planting at tbo South, and mnch of
that disaster due to the very eircnmstance
now under consideration.
Bnt to come more immediately to the mat-
tei in band: Cotton is now to be planted,and
fortunately we have -simple,cheap and capi
tal “Cotton Planters”—the “Dow Law” for
instance—'which will distribute any quan
tity of seed one may wish, in a straight,
narrow drill, loavrog it in most admirable
condition for th % first working. Success
depends so much upon the first working
being properly and hastily done, nothing
should be neglected which may facilitate it.
For those portions of the South where the
season is rt her short for cot ton; the “Dic-k
son” variety-is probably best adapted. Wi
trust other aid still better varieties may yet
be .produced, aad we urge upon our read
ers increased effort in this direction. What
wc need most, is ctxrly maturity, coupled
with fine staple.
The impression is general,that in conse
qucnce of the political troubles in Cuba,
sugar and uitilasses will be scarce and dear.
Our friends in Louisiana and Texas, where
the Sngar Cane flourishes, have an admi
rable opportunity for 'making money.—
Would it not be well for those living in less
favored rbgions, to nave tome money by
planting Sorgho pretty largely. Onr cor
respondent, Dr. W. A.-Harrison,of Green
ville, S.C., tells us of great improvements
recently,in purifying the syrup,and malting
sugar of-Sorgho. Other accounts ot similar
import have reached us. Wo should be
glad tolearn more of this matter— what the
improvements consists in, tic., Ac.

Georgia’* New Military Commander*
Of Gen. (S: W. Crawford^ who is to
take the place of General Meade as [he
military commando: t of ti-isState the Louis-
yi'ie Cuurierjounutl writes in the following
highly co-.plimeutary maimer:
“The promotion of this popular gentleman
and meritorious officer fo the Colonelcy of
the Second Infantry is an appropriate
recognition of his services and distiim dished
gallantry; aqd is .a saurcc of gratification
to the largo circle of friends he has here
and cteevheze. His removal from here
vjill berg retted: by all who have come
.in poiitun; with- him, either sooiably br
officially.. His courteous manners and frank
addrusa, united to good so iso and a sound
jmlgaunt, will alv.-ays wake iricuds where-
cver h goes. The . good people of .Atlan
