THE FORCE OF GOOD EXAMPLE. No one can imagine bow much good such farmers as Lewis Tomlin and David Dickson do the county in which they live merely by the force of example. These two gentlemen may be taken as model farmers; and the farmers surround ing them are filly per cent better than the farmers in those counties where there ere not such shining examples. Hancock and Bartow comties are two of the very best in the State, and we donbt not bnt that mnch of the prosperity is dne to the fact that the farmers have had their ambitions aroused, and their ideas educated by the in. telligent and successful methods of plant ing and managing adopted by Messrs. Tom lin and Dickson. A. gentleman lately traveling through Mississippi was struck by tho evidences of P ub T superior thrift and extraordinary well-to-do condition that cne particular section evinc ed over all the other he had seen. Haying asked the reason of this, he was told that it was because “old Dr. Phillips (an educa ted farmer) used to farm in a few miles of them.” Will not oar farmers, who possess the means, make themselves each farmers as these men, and thus place the planting maat interests of their county on a prosperous basis. The Emperor of France has scattered all through his Empire, wbat he calls “model farms.” They are run by the Government. Everything upon them is done in the most approved style. In faet they are kept np tor the purpose of giving the peasants of that country a sound, practical and compre hensive fanners edneation. | A TRAMP OVER THE BATTLE FIELD It is over—the booming of tho last gnu I has died any and all is quiet, in the walls | if the National Senate. The Georgia question has been settled— I Drake’i malignancy has bean curbed—Sum- I a>r's hate has been baffled—Brownlow I quivers in impotent anger and the carpet- | bag Senators having damned themselves to oo purpose are chewing the end of disap- I [ointment. Let ns look over the battle hell, ami aee what wo have lost, and wbat | ve hare won. In the first place wo will have an eleo I'lim for the members of the House and half | the Senators in November—this election merer will be he'd under the auspices I of the Military and if there is snch gery- I manleriug of the ballots as there was at the I Bulloch Gordon election, the result is very doubtful. We Jare,confident that.there | are net ten counties in the State that by 'a I fiirau.i square vote, would return to the Rouse their present Radical Represen ta- The Democrats should carefully I ttrive to prevent any extensive fraud at the billot box. Resides the advantage that the ^scrupulous Radical will have, in con trolling the ballot box returns and the handling of the votes, the Democrats will j go into the election, with 45.000 of the lot men disfranchised. The President has [ thrown his amnesty proclamation into the frc. and we will Dot smell amnesty for many jet Still if we can get anything Lk* an iccorate return of the votes cast [ the Democrats will have a ringing tnajori- *f in me next, h ouse. In the next place the law fofoiding the tjtgaaintion and arming .of the S.ate Mili I •“hasbeen repealed Thei Radioals are THE IKON WORKS IN ROME. Unless a person occasionally visits the extensive Machine Shops and Found.y of Messrs. Nobles & McCullough, and the ad jacent Rolling Mill and Nail Factory, he will have no adequate idea of the extent to which iron is manofactnred in oar city. There are eleven steam engines in con stant operation, two of which are 70 and 65 horse power, and the remainder of less capacity, bnt all employed in rnnning .he various kinds of first class machinery, belonging to the establishment,: and the buzzing, whizzing and olattering of all these make a noise that is rather confusing to persons unaccustomed ti> such sounds. Tho Steam Trip Hammer is sire to attract the visitor’s attention, as it forges railroad axles with as much facility os a man with a-ham mer would manipnlato ah lack lod. The Turning Lathe tarns iron fifteen inches in diameter, and the Shears, that weigh 24-, 000 pounds, out off a cold bar of Railroad iron with as mnch apparent ease as a lady clips a tape string with 'her scissors. Bat we do not propose to describe, or even mem tion at this time the many objects of ad miration there, but merely to advise persons who feel an interest in fine machinery to visit these Works, and she for themselves. They are now turning .ont about 50 car wheels, and 20 axles a day, and have de mands for more than they.can supply.— Next week they will put in operation a large **g> into militia companies and- arm them j rith the “Wiachester Rifle” that the doughty, Qov.Scott of Carolina so ardeot f "Skfl foi/It ia highly improbable how- I «wr tiut the militia will be organized—we have j list'been informed by a gentleman 1 fton Atlanta,-tfcjifo many; of .the leading ^<uh..hij>reisW thenuhives;opoosed to 1 ,1:1 >»ttep-arnong others Bob MoWhor- to , ‘Mpmter of the jjlpuso. - h : ? tWrd place the president has the Puerto stition troops at.any point in the **** *^ {re the Governor deems their pres- “wessary—the citizens upon whom e J are quartered to support them—and ■a ( he ca«e of loss of life or property, th3' nnictpiJiii e5 ht which such losses occur f 1 ! the damages.

These lion Works are doing more to wards building np the snbstMtial interests of Rome than half of all the other cap' employed in the city, and we rejoice to le that the investment is a profitable one. The JEtna Iron Works, near Pryor’s Sta tion, will soon be put iu operation with a cash capital of 350,000, and a capacity to make 50 tons of pig iron per week. This is aboutthe amount the Cornwall Works now turn oat. We hope iron works will rapidly increase in this section until Rome becomes what it ought to be—the Pittsburg ol the South. A Hulbebt to tbsBkscub.—In view of the coming fell elections in this State, Halbert has openedasoboolfor the iustrus- tion of Radical Registration Clerks. Prof, halbert will teach the scheme of arithmet ical computations practiced by him with so much success at the lata Gubernatorial election.

Thei several actB of the present Legisla ture, loaning the States’ credit to railroad compMies, will bo found,' on examination apparently not violative of the. provision of the Constitution on the subject ot State aid;uditwiU.be a matter of regret to know that measures supported generally by tha Democratic members, while apparently in accordance with the fundamental law, are realty in violation of it. All these acts re quire the company to hnild and eqnip a cer tain length of road, and to give the State a mortgage or deed of trust upon the portion Eo built, as well as the entire property and purchase of the company before the States’ aid is granted- ’ And this aid when granted is not money loaned by the State to the com- puy, nor tho issuing of bonds of the State to the company, bwt an endorsement by the State of bonds issued by the company— that is, the State becomes security for the payment of the bonds by the company. The State endonsed the bonds of" the Wills Val ley Road to the amount of 38,000 per mile for that portion of the Road lying in Geor gia, but not until that portion of the TOad had been u fuJfy completed, finished and equipped." ^ The Brunswick and Albany Road about which so much has been said, had 60 miles built and equipped before the wai. The State took up the iron during the war and part of it is now on the State Road. But, with 60 miles graded, the act giving to it State aid requires twenty miles to he built and in “good running and working order,” before the State’s endorsement is to b« had, and then for only half the estimated test of that 20 miles, secured by the ostial deed of trust to the entire property of the company; and as each succeeding ten miles are com pleted, bonds to a similar amount are en domed. Betides, the company relinquishes a pretended claim against the State ot three million fonr hundred thousand dollara. Let us give the devil his due. While the State may have bocn defrauded in the procure ment of this act, and the Constitution vio lated, still the act has the appearance of de cency, and in my opinion the State isseenre from loss unless there be corruption by State officials .in the future. I will not examine the other acts in detaiL I agree with “Civis ” in the Commensal that ne are entitled to State aid to bnild our roaa West, and that it is the interest of the State' to give us aid; and if it can be had up on the conditions he suggests, very well. But let us not base our plans upon obtain ingfrom the Legislature what it has not heretofore granted, and what it clearly has no right to grant—the States’ credit to railroad company which has neither prop erty nor stock subscribed. A consolidation with the Rome Road will give the former and enable it to obtain the latter. Why they do It.—The Radicals op pose the removal of the capital to MOledge- ville. We don’t blame them. The luna tic Asylum and Penitentiary are located there. Minister first unto the Liv no—The Atlanta New Era devotes a good deal of ink to the wiping out of the charge of infi delity that has been lately preferred against the late lamented Lincoln. We wonld sug gest to the Era that it might more profita bly employ its time by taking care of the character of some of its living apostles. A few explanatory remarks about the alleged peijory of Mr. Blidgett wonld bo better ap preciated than luminous denials of the infidelity of Mr. Lioooln. The Worth of the Radical Dynasty that now Boles Georgia and her Million*. We have deemed that it wonli not be an uninteresting contribution to the politi cal history of this boasted era of Radical re construction, to furnish a statement of the pecuniary worth of the Radical dynasty that now roles the great State of Georgia, her hundre is of thousands of titixens, and illions of wealth. It has been one of the cardinal roles of onr civilized republic, that taxation and representation run together in the scheme of government. How far Radicalism con forms to the canons of mdvMced civiliza tion, we cm now see. The tax digests of 1869 show some very instructive facts. The summary we give may not be minutely accurate, but it is a dose approximation. We include in the dynasty the Executive and his State House, State Road and Leg islative supporters. These about constitute our rulers and law makers. His Excellency, R. B. Bullock, who -draws thousMds of dollars on the National Bank, returns no property, and Is a default er for his poll tax for 1869. Captain-Snperintendant-Senator Foster Blrdgett return* no property in Fnlton or Richmond counties, Md is likewise a de faulter, according to the Digests. Should we or the digests do injustice to •lither of these pre-eminently distinguished iudividusls, we shill take great pleasure in correcting it. Upwards of forty-five of the Governor’s legislative supporters are in the same im pecunious predicament, returning no p: erty, and playing the honorable role of poll- tax defaulter. That Radical Brobdignag, Supervisor and Terry-tonal Parliamentarian, A. L. Harris,returns nothing in Chatham or Ful ton counties. State Road Treasurer, S. P. Harris re turns 31,050. The Washington Chronicle states that Speaker McWhorter is the largest land owner and planter in his county.' The * gives in his magnificent i sions, of all kinds, at seven thousand dol lars. Forney also ssya, that Ephraim T retired from business on ample mesas. Hu ample means are ten thousand four hun dred dollars. This is about the biggest plnm in tho Radical Dio* Mr. Presideot Cooley returns 36,500, Forney praises him very much as a Radi cal RepublicM. This laudation of course covers Conley's rote against the Fifteenth Amendment, which killed it in Georgia. The Chairman of the FinMce Commit- tee, selected of oours». for mometary abili ty, returns no property, and pays one dollar poll tax. All of Bollock's supporters, as aforesaid aggregate about ons buo4nd Ml twenty- five thonsMd dollar*, all told. And this petty amount of property furnishes the government for onr great State. And this body of men has recently been in session over thirty days exhausted the treasury of more than as much money as they were all worth, without eoaotlng s single bill, and only passing resolntions, one to pay themselves for two weeks’ adjourn ment, Md Mother to prevent anybody else from being paid. We give these statements as just to the teople, and as an ofibet to a grandiloquent ilow in Forney’s Ctironicle about our Rad* cal Legislature. Will the Chronicle eopy? —At. Carat. Political. There are already signs of a row between radical negroes and radical whites in Phila delphia. The latter tell thn former that- as a matter of policy, thev should keep in the baek-grontid for the present, bnt the new voters don’t see it in that light, Md propose to have a share of offices or bus! the machine. Colored men voted at the annual school meeting at Portland, on the 4th inst, for the first time in Oregon. Schofield to Succeed Thomas.—The pnblisbed rumor that .Brigadier-General Pope, now commanding the department of the Lakes, is to succeed General Thomas in the Comnumd of the militaiy Division of the Pacific is nntrne. Major General Schofield, commanding the Department of the Mia-onri, will more than likely be assigned to the post, in ae- cordance with his express wishes to that ef fect as-far back as when he was Secretary of War, he applied to be sent to California, hot General Thomas WMting the place at the nme time, General Schofield was oblig ed to coptent himself with the promise he should have the refusal of it in case of a case of a vacancy.— World Car.

It is understood at St. Paul that Gener al Hancock conmanding the Department of Dacota, will be soon transferred to eitbt er St. Lonis or San Francisco, having been offered his choice of those locations since the death of Gen.

But McClellan will eerteinly not go down in history as the only General who ever de feated Pope.

The Senatdthen adjourned until Mon day next, 12 hours of betresektatites. Wednesday, April 20,1870. The House iras coded to order at 12 M. by Speaker McWhorter: Prayer by Rev. W. Fuller, Pastor of the ved to adjourn until Mon Totals 52,673 194,029 202,183 If the deaths from disease be added, the sum total will present the entire loss. The returns of the field and general hospitals ire known for 1871-62, nnd if it. be fair to a8snme the total mortality of 1863 and 1864 was frilly equal to that of 2862 then the total deaths in the Confederate army in 1861 2 were at least 161*,000, exclusive of the deaths in the Northern prisons, which would swell the number to nearly 185,000; and if the deaths among the dis charged for wounds amd disease, and among the sick and wounded on fnriough, be add ed, the grand total of deathsio the Confed erate army during the entire war did not foil far short of 200,000. Aceording to this calculation the de-ths from diseases were about three times as an- meroas as those resulting from the casnali- ties of war. The available Confederate force capable of active service did not, daring the entire ’, exceed 600.000 men. Ot this number not more than 400,000 were enrolled at My t.ne time, apd the Confederate States never had in the field more than 200,000 men capable of bearing arms at anyone time, exclusive of rick, wounded Md disa bled. The other business transacted at this meeting was introduction by General Pillcw of m amendv ent to the constitution, ye ported as follows: Any Confederate soldier may be eligible to membership iq the association when his record as a soldier is blameless, Provided That where the applicant left the service be fore the end of the war he shall have been honorably discharged, and after leaving his conduct mnst have been snch as to IgS-vp no doubt of his continued devotion to the Confederate oaqeo qqtil the end of the w»r. 4 Brainless Congress. Under this head, Don Piatt, in q lata letter to the Cincinnati Commercial pays the followiog compliment to the represen tatives of the Sooth as they were before the war. He shows the avenge Yankee ignorance about those he calls the “poor whites” but his statement on the other points ore indisputable. "The South for a long term of years en joyed a higher order of legislative talent rom the limited condition of suffrage The legroes did not vote uor did the paor whites save as their masters dictated. It was not Democratic, bnt it was decent. We broke up that system, and excluding the brain by law. admitted the skulls. No mM questions the result. Instead of gen tlemen we have low fellows; and in place ot a pride that lifted tee representatives above theft, we have rqgnes openly in the market.” New Jersey Election* The Herald of Wednesday says: The township elections in Nev Jersey, which took plice on Monday, resulted in considerable Democratic gains. In Morristown, hitherto “intensely Radi cal,” the Democrats swept thn board,though sixty or more negroes voted solid for the Radical ticket Other towns show a like result. The 15>h amendment cuts two ways—it cuts its way to the ballot box for the ne groes to vote the Radical ticket, but it also cuts loose frem that party a great many white men who don’t re.ish such enforced political equality with the negro. Athens 8kati.no Rink.—A Skating Rina, under the efficient management of Henry Bcnsee, assisted by that courteous gentleman, Joseph Orr, was opened in Athens last Thursday niglit. Captain Jackson, Messrs. Angier. Magill, Edwards, the rink on Saturday night. A member day week. Williams, of; Morgan, moved to adjourn fur two weeks. O'Neal, of Lowndes, offered as a substi tute that wjien/^be Legislature adjourns, it adjourn until the first Monday in Jnl; next, subject to be called together by Pro visional Governor Bullock before that time member* and officers in the drawing no mileage or per diem. O’Neal said that Gen. Terry was averse to any legislation while the Georgia bill was pending before Congress. Ht was op posed to hoidiog a session until Congress acted. Costin (colored) of Talbot, inquired “if ary legislation was necessary ?” O’Neal did not think the question main, and therefore refased to answer., thought enough money bad been paid mem hers of the present Legislature during re- coi.struetioo to satisfy them—for the pret ent. Scott, of Floyd, offered as n substitute that, the Senate concurring, the General Assembly do now adjourn tine die. Lee, of Newton, enquired if the reso'u- tion wonld prevent tke Governor fram call ing the Legislature together. Scott replied that a Governor has the right, at any time when an emergency de mands to call the Legislature together. Lee, of Newton, then repeated the same question as to a Protidonal Governor, to which Capt. Scott made the same reply. Scett, of Floyd, was glad to see that O’Neal, of Lowndes, bad become, converted At the last ses*i< n, is a speech upon a mo tion not to take 39 per diem daring the re- cess, he said his ride had better sense than not to take it. He opposed the idea of ad journing from day to day .without transact ing basin ess. If lqpsUrion is necessarv, let ns transact it. if there is none so journ and go home.

The evet-ing News, cf Gold Hil', Neva da, contains tke subjoined account of a great race against time, on the Canon City Coarse, by J<-hony Faylor, for a stake of 81,000, or 85.C *0 that he could ride fifty miles iu two boon: At just 12 o’clock Faylor made his ap pearance, mounted, Md ready for the fray. He is a light built, dark-complexioned young man, and weighs 118 pounds. Af ter a few minutes’ preliminary arranging of details, away he dashed on the first heat We have never seen a bet er rider. Per fectly erect Md steady, he rode firmly in his stirrups, and seemed no’ impeding weight for a h. ne to carry, bnt on the con trary. light, lively, and anything hot a dead weight. Johnny knows just how to ride a horse, that's certain. We did not time all the heats eeparately. as that wonld be too lengthy a matter for publishment, but tne shortest was made in two minutes and two seconds; the average was about two minutes Md eight seconds. Some of <he horses he rode twice round, at a single keat, and one three times, most of them, however, he rode only once round. At the father ride ot the track, in the vi- cinity of the half mil* pol*. he had fresh horses also waiting, and had to change at that point on two or three occasions. When coming in on the home stretch, if the horse be rode was observe! to he failing, a fre-h was taken ont to meet him and ex changed; this was done also two or three times. Ooe very interesting feature to notice was the extreme rapidity aad facility with liich be changed horses at the stand- A fresh readily saddled Md bridled was held there, Md when he rode two or three men seized bis hone and assisted him to leap down and into the saddle of (he other horse these changes thus occupying for less time than it takes for ns to write about them. Indeed, the last dozen heats he was not allowed to touch the ground at all. hut was simply picked off one saddle Md placed in the other, with a slap Oeitowed upon hi* horse in order to start him off in a hurry. It was a little the liveliest horse navigation most people ever saw. Abont the twenty third mile ronnd blood was observed coming from Baylor’s month and one ear, being subject to bleeding at the longs on snch oc casions, under the featfully severe exercise, but as he kept a ‘(stiff upper lip,” Md about that time also shouted for someone to got his watch and bat that on the race,, we felt assured that be would live through it— Md he did. About 2 o’clock p. m. he finished the race; time, one hour, fifty-eight minutes Md thir ty-three seconds—within the two hours. As he rode in fr <m that ronoluding heat, looking still quite vigorous, and Mything hut exhausted, he Was taken from the sad dle amid loud shout* Md cheers of triumph and hilariously carried ou the shoulders of his friends to the front of the judges’stand, from which the Tesult was announced im mediately. Faylor being called upon for a speech, re plied thanking his friends .for their efforts o his behalf, and expressing the hope that he would be ss successful in the great race he is to run of 200 miles in ten hours at Jerome Park, New York, in May next. Faylor had procured fifteen horses for his race of yesterday, bnt he had to nse three more on account of some of them getting lame.
