STIFFENING FOB THE “DISMAL JEMMIES. J» The most pestiferous and troublesome class of men in the world are tho •• Dismal Jemmy" men. They forever look on the doll side of life. Yon cannot inspire them with hope—they answer your bright prom ises with deprecatiug melancholy. If you attempt to pot them on their legs, they will wabble helplessly, and flatten in despair in the dust. If you convince them with facts aod figures that some good is in store for them, they will sniffle and weep, and blubber and point yo t to the past, and whimper with a jaundiced ^logic that le cause the good bas’nt come yet, it -'aint a coming. They are horrible creatures, with their clammy despondency, and one of them will do more to d ?courage and demoralize a party than fifty enemies could. It seems t j us that the Democratic party is full of them We are visited by them sometimes, and we can feel them coming when they are fifty yards lrom our sanctum They come in, sit d wo aod commence ‘pil lin ; their wofnl despair over ns—the damp hopelessness just oozes out of them and slimes ns from head to foot, till it takes all the starch out of our system. We put the question in its brighest light, and try to get them to live in hope, but it is uo use—they only ooze the faster, till we aro completely con)es - 'espcn-ible capitalists iu Ath- I i ,, * b '' ,fl k‘ a#c the Athens Foundry I, at biue \ orbs for teu pears, gunran- I e -' lu e! in the contract to pay 20 percent ^ TV 0 ,he sl,,c5ihoI ^ er! * during that time, I f - e 'tGc\l]n]ij er <5 yg\)\ hardly accept the | r ro p<*;ti.>n.

Now we hat e a few words for those weep ; willows. They think that the Demo cratic party is dead—that there is no hope for the South, aud thai there is no use try ing anything further. The following for their stiffenin; Grant's majority over Seymour was 305,784, The Democratic vote cast was 2,689,284. Thus we have over 2,500,000 of Dcuioeratio votes, and ocly 300,000 to overcome. Let it be remembered that Grant embodied the principles for which North ern blood was shed, and Northern money was spent, and that in voting for him the people were only consumating the Revolu tion, and that those issues are now Settled, and that now the fight will be more equal. It must be remembered that Seymour was nominated by a trick, and that the party was thus split in the inception of the cam paign. This will not occur again. Again the Southern Degroes and the Southern bal lot boxes were so manipulated that a ma jority of the Southern States went for Grant. No sensible man doubts that nine- tenths of them will go Democratic in 1872, With the negro qnesti m dropped from the platform, with a squarely noaiii ated candi date. and skillful manipulation of the ne gro vote, snccess in ’72 is certain. The Republican party is badly ruptured. The 15th amendment having been passed, we see Farnsworth, llingham and others in the House; Carpenter, Edmunds, Conkling, Ferry, Sherman, Trumbull and others, in the Senate, positively deserting the party, and fighting lustily its avowed policy— Farnsworth taunting Sumner, and Bing ham pummelling Bader, has a deep signifi cance. It means rebellion from the domi nation of the Radical party, a id death to the party leaders. The party is continually making blunders. The naturalization hill, which degrades the white emigrant below the negro is a desperate and noxious meas ure. The national police bill is worth fire hundred thousand votes to the Democrats. The ameuded Georgia bill has already im mensely injured tbe'r party, and even the boasted 15th amendment is about to bring reproach upon the party. For we hear the Radicals in Connecticut asking that the amendment be not declared law until after their spring election, as its working would kill the party in that State. Now, Dismals, cheer np. We gained 270,000 iu the election of ’68 ove r that oi - 64. A similar gain in four more years will set ns over tbc fence. Specie Payments. -The low price gold has, in a small way. already inaugn-a ted specie payments in onr large dries.— Many barkeepers and fancy goods dealers are advertising that they will use specie in changing bills for parries who trade with them. A party in Atlanta paid a bill of 815 in gold, and Mr. James, banker, has used spede at par, in several transactions Tn* Georgia Bill —The Georgia bill, that passed the House as amended by Bingham, provides that Bull -ck and the present Legislature shall not hold their seats for two additional yea s, but that the peo ple shall indnlce in tho luxury of a new election during the coming November. We heartily advise the irresponsible creatures who desecrate the Legislative Halls at pres ent, to make the most of their rime, for W3 will strike, them from their places next No vember as snre as there is a sun in the heavenly system. We do not briieve that five counties in the State of Georgia will return their Radical Representatives to the next Lcgislatnre.*As tor Bullock—why look ont, Skowbegan for the return of yonr prodigal son. After Bullock —Mr. Wifiaraq an en ergetic member of the H use, was . in onr city a day or two ago. He was engaged in the laudable occupation of hunting up little tricks to worry .Bollock with. He gained some good points from Mr. Crawford, the expelled member from Bartow, and will donltless make fine use of them when the rime for balancing accounts with Rnfns B Tribute of Respect* Whereas it has pleased the Great Arcbi tect of the Universe to remove from earth onr esteemed brother, W.

Tit for T^.t—Caldwell, in his report before the Senate Committee demonstrated that Bullock had been guilty of shameful misdemeanors in his gubernatorial coarse. Bullock does not attempt to defend himself but commences dirtying'Caldwell He can’t extricate himself from disgraces, and he wants to make Caldwell wallow with him. Vendetta.—A first cla>s vendetta is being waged on the Mississippi river. Lid dell and Jones are the parties that are en joying it. They commerce killiug each oth er on sight. One Liddell and two Jones’ have been killed in the last two weeks. As there are bnt a few more of each side left, it is probable that we shall soon hear the last of this cbivalric barbarism. Grant and the Gold Ring.—Jim Fisk is very anxious to send Grant twining with the woodbine by proving his complic ity in the gold ring. We sincerely hope, for the sake of decency, that Jim, Jr., cant prove it on Ulysses, though the latter is so heavily stupid that it is very probable he will be caught. We would have thought that being kicked ont of the army for a dis reputable action, would have taught him to avoid such palpable dishonesty in future, and content himscll with receiving presents in lien of office appointments. A Royal Scandal.—The Prince of Wales has been detected in an illicit amour with the wife of one of hia Noblemen.— This man Mordannt was horribly stupid, but charmingly rich. The fair lady mar ried his rent roll, and then rent his heart by rolling into the arms of the naughty young Prince. England will laugh at - the lollies of its arming king, and the betrayed Mordannt will seek for comfort with the fox and hounds. Thus wags the world. [For the Rome Courier. Thing* to be Marveled At. Mr. Editor—Everyday witnesses some startling advance. With every revolution of the earth, we beho! i some capital revo lution in the mechanical world. Almost every hour brings u, srme surprising adap tation of physical laws to useful ends. Some capturing and caging up, as it were, of the enormous and ever-acting forces of nature, fur mau, This being the case, yon will, I ;hink, allow me the privilege of living to yonr readers a weekly resume of tho more prom inent inventions or discoveries that may chance to cctne under my notice. Without more ado then, I will commence. The Pneumatic Railway. For a lung rime merchants have felt the need of a more rapid method of transport ing ireight from one point lo another, than we at present enjoy. An invention jnst perfected promises to supply this need. A tremendous air-tight tube is made.— Let us suppose that it reaches from St Lonis to New Orleans. . Large hollow balls, jnst fitting tbc inside of the tube are provided. We will suppose that these balls are filled with oranges at New Orleans; and planad in the New Orleans end of the cylinder. This end is closed, and by means of an air pump at St. Lonis, the air is all drawn lrom the tube. The New Orlean •• end is then opened, the pressure o! the atmostpbere forces the loaded balls with incredible ve- loci'y, and the people of St. Lonis will eat tropical oranges with the aromatic dews of the Sooth scarcely dry upon them. The importance of this Pneumatic Rail way can scarcely be estimated. New York and Savannah can interchange products with lightning speed. Fruits plneked in Georgia may be eaten in St. Lonis with ev- cry juice fresh and fkwing, aod fat steaks cat from fresh slain cattle in Missouri may, in ten minutes time, spatter on Georgia gridirons. Papers published in New York to-night may first see the light in Lonsiano. Even passengers may be whisked like feath ere through the cir Railways A man may take a little chloroform, gu to sleep in Geor gia, be packed in a ball, and wake op shiv ering amid the snows of Boston. The Ice Machine. The haughty icebergs of the Polar seas are absolutely pale with fear and envy as they see the ioe merchants of New York forsaking them and rushing to the swelter ing streets of New Orleans for their ice.— Their monopoly is gone. They may dis port their ghastly forms as loftily as they plcaee, bnt beyond affording , mirrors to Seals and Esquimeanx, and food for the fancy of florid young poets, they arc non entities. A machine has been invented in New Orleans that will manufacture o:e hundred tODS ol ice daily, superior to Northern ice, and cheaper than it can be shipped from any berg in the world. This is the method. \ lot ot square sheet iron boxes are pruvided, -arronnded by number ot iron pipes. The boxes aro filled with distilled water, some volatile substan ces (sneh as ammonia) are rapidly passed through the pipes for a few moments, the sheet iron boxes are opened, and large bl cks of ice taken tk< refrain. This ice sold at thirteen dollars per ton. We noticed Philadelphia, a day or two ago ordering ice from New Orleans. Machine Sewing by Electricity. Hood’s song of the shirt with its tiresome stitch, will soon bett.etale of a long fir- gotten barbarism. Sewing by hand has long Ihxu supplant ed by sewing with the sewing machine. An objection soon arose to this method. The ceaseless use of the legs in working the pedals of the machine, brought on several diseases that swept away wurien by the ■core. This evil is remedied, by the use of a magnet, an armature, and a battery of four or five galvanic cups. By these agen cies, a constant electric force is generated that will ran the machine effectually while the operator is attending t > < thcr business. Sewing machines with this gal vanic attachment will soon be in the reach of the people. When we mention that this electric pow er will soou be used to run other affairs where only small force is needed we may be pardoned for prophesying that before long the happy honsewifu will sec her sewing machine sagaciously patching clothes in the corner, her churn churn coaxing butter with a galvanic dasher, her clothes bein ( washed by an independent machine, her baby rocked in a self-acting cradle, and her scouring done by an electric mop, while she rests her head on her husband’s shout der. and listens to the wise words of the Courier, and thanks tho Lord for the infin ite fertility of the brain ot man. “Parrick Allen. 1 An Editot Unde i tue Influence of Gin.—The editor of the Logan (Ohio) Ga zette having been presented with a bottle of Lond-m Dock Gin, drank it, a d then attempted to write a paragraph of thanks, with this melancholy result: In conclusion, here’s to the ; 5re Foun tain Company No. some.' the Brass found tain Belle Band, and the rest of onr home institutions and organizations including the ladies, and other branches of business (hie) in and around town—and especislly he Messident^ Pres sage, Nloniagton Wash- meet, etc., all of which may be bad cheap at tbc Back Drook—Brook and Drag Store of Jiouinger’s London Dock Gin. for two dollars a year, if - payment is delayed until the end of the Atlantic Cable. An Illust ration.—In a recent lee- turo room talk on God's ways of answering onr prayers and dealing with ns, R:v. Hen ry Ward Beecher said : Once a cat of mine had her kittens.— We went and looked, at them, and she was disturbed to think we knew where they were. Determined to convey them to a safe place she came back, took a little kit ten in her mouth, and after several mouth- ings got the right hold, and away she weDt. If that kitten thought any thing,it thought that to be grabbed tha* way was hard.— When God’s providence takes ns in the teeth, wc think its a dragon ; but be is ta king us into safe places; and when wo are laid down carefully,who says that the teeth met or that the skin was broken ? The Lon of tbe Oneida. A dispatch from San Francisco brings fall particulars of the loss of the United Slates steamer, Oneida, which left Yoloho- tna on the 23d. of January, homeward bound The steamer left her anchorage about 5 o’clock in the afternoon, end tbc accident occurred at seven the same evening. The United States Minister visited her in tie forenoon, and received the usual salute, and the guns were reloaded with the expecta tion of replying to a salute from a Russian gunboat to Mr. DeLoring. The salute, how ever, was not given, and the guns remained loaded. As the Oneida stean-ed out of the harbor, the crews of the various vessels, and the men at work in the port give cheers aod wished her a happy voyage. Oo passing out of the harbor her fires were banked and stearu blown off. While the officers were at dinner about o’clock, the lookout man ehouted, ‘'stea mer lights ahead 1” and a midshipman gave the order to port helm. Everything seemed qnieton beard the other steamer. This lead to believe that she had n -t observed the Oneida, although her lights were burning brightly. The steamer, which proved to be the Bombay, of the Peninsula and Oriental line came right on and struck the Oneida on tbe starboard, l baft the gangway about half way between the main and mizzen riggit g. A hole was cut, through which the whole interior of the ship was visible. The bin nacle wheel and rudder were carried away, and the two men standing at the wheel were instantly killed. The Bombay did not stop after crashing through the Oneida, though the gnns of the latter, which happened to be loaded, were almost instantly fired to attract her attention aod bring her baok. Orders were given to lower the boats, bnt only one lifeboat being available, tbe oth ers having been crashed. The lifeboat was manned by Dr. Stoddard, the boatswain and fifteen of the crew. Five gnns were fired, bnt before the 6th could be discharged, the Oneida sank within ten minates after she was struck. None of those saved saw a man or heard voice on board the Bombay. They report that when it became evident that there was no hope of saving the ship, the officers gathered around Capt. Williams, and he was heard to say if the ship went down he would go with her. The life boat was oblig ed to leave the sinking ship to avoid being swamped. After palling abont for awhile, the crew of the lifeboat seeing none of the grew float ing, not one of all the 160 who went down unwillingly bent their boatshead to land ward abont five miles distant. On landing the natives kindly treated them, and they obtained the assistance of a guide and start ed to walk to Tokoboma, which they reach ed at daylight the next morning. The Bombay was immediately ordered to the scene of tbe wreck, and succeeded in saving twenty-nine men, who had got into a cutter which floated when the ship went down. Several other vessels, one with Minister DeLoring on board, proceeded to the scene of the disaster daring the* day, but no more lives were saved The Japanese Government sent bo a ts and apparatus iu search fur the if nrr Jyi | ip lim)$ mi bay were quite surprised when they heard the calamity tbas had bciallec t j - the vessel they had stroek but declare thev neither heard any request from the Oneida t' stay by them, or minute gnns fired A naval court has been demanded I y the Captain of the Bom- b*jj Fhe officers an-i men of the Oneida num bered 176, ocly 5ii of whom, indeding Dr. Stoddard and two junior officers, survive tbe disaster.

Aud here tbo corruption comes iu It is said that 8100 is frequently paid for the insertion ol a name in one of these bi'ls—pii : directly to the carpet baggers from the districts in which the applicants live. It is for this reason that no general amnesty has ever boon passed—nr is ever likely to pass while tbe carpet-baggers have any influence in Congress.

A strung effort was made to pledgo the press as a body to independence of nil existing polit ical parties. It was warmly argned, bnt the Tote was a tie. Of the' New Orleans papers the Times, the Picai/une and De- Bows Review, were for this independence, and the Bee aod La Recaimnce against it. There were three arguments used against it: That it was an a'.tempt to create a third party; that it seemed newspaper dictation, and that it cast a star on Democracy.

The Philadelphia Press suggests a grave diflicolty growifg ont of the possible draw ing of women for juries. Suppose a care of eleven men and one woman on a jury.

He certainly would not willingly consent to bis better half be ing locked np lor any length of time with one man. What would he say to elev< n? True to the Letter.—The Atlanta correspondent of the Cincinnati Commer cial, (Radical,)writiog on the 7th nit .truly says: The Republican party in Georgia owes its very life to the negroes. Should they withdraw from it it would “go np” like a mist over a mill pond on a hot day. They compose two-thirds of its voting strength, and to their votes isdne the strength which tbe party has derived from the ex-rebels. It is not human nature for a man to desert friends, kindred and party, and go into an organization that is considered odious,unless that party has the strength to reward him for the sacrifice. There was cot nte mm in ten who suddenly transformed himself from a radical, bnt who either got or thought he would get a reward for it. If there is a man in Georgia who snddeoly turned from a soldier in the army of the Lost Causo to a worker in the ranks of Rad icalism, and who is not now in office, or who has not held office since the date of his transformation, I have not seen him We want to believe everything we read in tbe papers, tnd do, as a general thing, bnt when these Repnblican papers say that the nigger Revels blushed when being sworn in, we kick back.

To M \ke Cows Give Milk.—The ag. ricnltural editor of the Beekeepers’ Journal vouches for the following,handed him by a friend. If yon desire toget a large yield of milk, give yonr cow, three times a Gay, water slightly warm, and slightly salted, inf which bran has been stirred at the rate ol one quart to two gallons of water. Yon will find that your cow will gain twenty-five per cent, immediately under the effects of it, and she will bicome so attached to the diet as to refuse to drink dear water, an less very thirsty, but this moss she will drink almost any time,and ask for more. The amount of this drink is an ordinary water pailful at each time—morning, no in and night. Yonr animal wil then do her best at diseonnting tbe lacteal. Southern News.

Lawrence, Kansas, March 1 tion from Work for the Month. The corn crop now demands the atten tion of tho farmer. In localities where danger of. hard freezes is over, the s inner it Is planted the better. Wl etc ample pro vision for feed ol* all kinds has not been made, by sowing largely of oats and < (her grains, our realms will pardon ns for urg ing that a large btcadlli of land be devoted te corn. It may not bo a profitable crop compared with small grains, bat experience bas shown that, as a general role, it is de cidedly better policy for tbe former to raise than bay bis provisions. To one living on a railroad cr steamboat thoroughfare, with land especially adapted to cotton growing, and with a good season, it may be cheaper to bay corn than to raise it; bnt bow few, comparatively, arc thus situated, and who has the guarantee of good seasons ? The corn crop is made daring the first half of summer— the cotton crop daring the latter half; it may happen, therefore, that a sea son be admirably suited for a corn crop and yet perfectly disastrous to a cotton crop.— It does not follow, because the cotton crop tails that corn wonld have failed -Iso, and we most urge again, as we have done be fore, that two chances arc better than one. For core, land should be plowed vety deep and thoroughly,- to guard against drought, the greatest of its enemies in onr climate. Asa farther safeguard against the same, flat culture is all important, nnd to render this practicable, it should be planted in tbe water farrow, or where tbe land has not been bedded, in tbc bottom of a deep, broad (arrow, made by a latge shov el, drawn by two horses. This farrow should be so wide that a little list may be thrown the seed withent filling tbo large fnrrow. Planted in this manner, the com makes its appearance below the general level of the surface, and permits dot to be thrown to it in tbe after workings, without ridging tbe land. jOnr best authorities say, that in the early stages of cultivation, the dirt should not le thrown to it too rapidly, allowing time for the roots from the first joint to de velop well, be‘ore those from the second joint shall have soil to form in. Cotton seed b generally considered a standard manure for this crop. It is one in which the nitrogenous clement b in ex cess, as compared with other important in gredients, and in substituting any other manure iu its place for corn, we should fol low thb indication. All the small grains and grasses (corn b a true grass) delight in tatrogetoas fertilizers. Some ofoar enter prising formers might do a good work, by making a series of experiments, testing tbe value if different fertilizers for corn, as bas been done in tbe case of cotton. Tbe practise of putting manure in mass near the hill of com, we are 'compelled to believe a bad one—a part may be placed here to advantage, to give tbe yonng plant a strong, vigorous start— the balance should be applied broadcast, or perhaps pnt in tbe furr w on each side of tl e corn, daring the second working. We wonld again also suggest the planting of a portion of the crop with the seed of some early variety of corn obtained from the North—it may mature before the sum mer droughts. As soon as the corn crop is dbposed oi. sorghum may be planted With the many improvements discovered of late in manu facturing syrapand sugar front tbb plant, we doubt not it would pay Ihc-se living where the tropical cane does not grow, to make this one of their regular crops. Daring March the bedding of cotton laud and distribution of fertilizers sbpnld le lushed ripidly forward, if not already done. It b desirable, after iioauo, etc., hat been placed in the ground and bedded an, todet the bad remain undisturbed forborne three or foqr weeks before planting. Tbe manure should he placed pretty deep in tbe ground that it may remain damp in dry weather.— Sonlhem Cnfticator.
