Farmer and Artisan.—This capital
weekly, devoted to Agricultural and .Me
chanical interest, has just completed its
first semi annual volume. Those who have
preserved the numbers from week to week,
have a handsome volume of 416 pages of
valuable industrial reading, with numerous
illustrations. The publisher announces
that the experiment of a weekly journal de
voted to the reviving industries cf the
Suuth, is a success. A weekly has un
questionably some poiuts of interest and
value which the numerous excellent agii-
cultur: 1 monthlies do not possess. Many-
things cannot be fully discussed,or fully ad
vertise-1 m a monthly before the season is
over;-while four issues in a mouth afford
ample timo for discussion and application
of new facts, theories, &c. Therefore we
hail the weekly press, devoted to improved
husbandry us au invaluable auxilliary to the
farming interest.
The Farmer and Artisan is a hand
some quarto of 16 pages. Each number
coutaius, besides valuable original matter,
the best articles from tho industrial jour
nals ol this country aud Europe. Timely
papers on cotton, grain and grass culture,
fruit growing,gardening,and the wide range
of topics ol interest ’ housewives, enrich
its pages. Much space is also devoted to
mechanical interests. The present is a good
time to subscribe. Terms 83 a year, SI

At the Lower End of “The Line.’
—The Quincy (Fla) Monitor reports the
proceedings of an informal meeting of the
Directory of the Jacksonville, Mobile and
Pensacola Railroad, for the purpose of a
consultation with a committee from Quin
cy concerning tho proposed railroad from
Quincy to Bainbridge. This proposed road,
as cur readers know, will be a link of the
“air-line” from Cincinnati to tbe Gulf aud
to the West Indies. The Jacksonville and
Pensacola railroad wiil run eight aegles to
it, and cross it at Quincy. This is the
extent of tbe interest which that road has
in our “air-line,” but it is sufficient to
rouse it to some exertioD in its behalf.—
To have the shortest, cheapest aud most
direct communication with the great Wes
tern cities, is of course an object of im
portance to the Jacksonville, Mobile and
Pensacola company, whether the freight
which it is to receive at Quiocy goes east
or west from that point. We accordingly
find that the Directory ordered another
survey of the five miles riute north of Quin
cy, with a view of finding a better way
than the one already surveyed ; and that
‘President Littlefield expressed a determi
nation to build the road to Bainbridge, or
to the Georgia line, and hoped that he
would receivo the good will and co-opera
tion of the people interested.’ If the com
pany which President Littlefield represents
has the ability to carry this determina
tion promptly into effect, we have encour
agement. to hope that a lang section of the
southern eud of our ‘air-lioe will soon be
an accomplished fact. We believe that the
road from Quincy to Tallahassee has already
been built, and at Tallahassee it connects
with the road to St Marks, built long
since. From St. Marks to Bainbridge,
then, we have bright prospects of success
at the lower end of the lino.
As regards the progress of work on the
section between Bainbridge and Cothbert.
The Bainbridge Sun of the 16th instant
says : ‘The work is rapidly progressing.
The grading is within a few miles of Col
quitt and the cress-ties are ready for the
iron. President Bruton is in, or returning
from, New York, where be has been to pur
chase tbe material for tbe road, and bo has
been eminently successful. The iron has
been purchased, and if the stockholders
will now do their duty, the road will be
pushed on to Columbus, its destination, forth
with-
When the first 20 miles are completed,
the State aid of 812,000 per mile will be
available. Columbus will extend her aid,
and the counties and towns ‘all along the
line’ will not be slow jn contributin'; to an
enterprise which will be blessing to the
State.
Now then, let ns, with a long pull, and a
patriotic pull—all pnll together and finish
the work.’—Col.

The Chinese Coming—Another Warning to
the Negroes.
The Chattanooga Times has the follow,
ing item of interesting news :
John Chinaman is actually coming here,
and the negro will have to retire from the
construction ol the Alabama and Chatta
nooga railroafl, having been tried and found
warning. In yesterday’s Times we alluded
to the possibility of such an event, bnt wc
had no idea then that Mr. Stinton would
net so speedily as he has done. But yester
day morning he received the following dis
patch :
San Francisco. June 17, 1870.
J. C. Stanton, Siqj'r. A. «t C. It. It :
Can deliver at Chattanooga, in thirty
days, one or two thousand good Chinese la
borers for sixty dollars per head. Wages
sixteen dollars per mouth and board; freo
passage back.
Koopmanscuap A Co.
To this Mr. Stanton replied :
CiYattanoooa, June 17, 1870.
Koopmanschap <f- Co. San trancisco, Cali
fornia :
We will take fifteen bundled able-bodied
Chinese laborers at once. We refer to the
first National Rank at Chattanooga.
I. C. Stanton, Sup’t.
So the Chinese are really to come among
us, and we shall have an opportunity of
seeing how far superior they are to the ne
gro. It is well known that the Pacific Rail
road never could have been built in so short
a time but for the employment of large
numbers of Chinese laborers; and we think
Mr. Stanton has done wisely in engaging
them.
While the poor negroes are being delud
ed by the extreme Radical leaders at Wash
ington and the carpet-baggers amongst us
with the ideas of perfect political aud so
cial equality, not only their security as a
laboring class, but their well-being and
very existcaee as a race, is becoming more
and more imperiled. Assuredly, the color
ed man wiil find this ont in time, bnt his
peril lies in the fact, that the discovery
may be made too late. The only white man
on earth who does not secretly entertain, in
a personal sense, actual repugnance to the
negro, is the Southern white man.

Whin caught with his hand in a sugar
dish, he will swear with such solemnity and
apparent sincerity that he was not stealing
sugar, that you are disposed almost to doubt
f our own senses. But Burnett, of tho S' 'e
toad, Bullock’s pet, who greased himself
with the money of a widow woman, makes
the laurels of the little negro fade and
wither into nothingoeess.
“In answer to card lroni youns; Angier,
whq w.ould not let Burnett handle the State
caili, the latter says:
“Touching my connection with tho Mrs.

A chimney on Mr. Tom White’s residence
was overturned, and all his outhouses up
set.: . Several dwellings were unroofed or
blqwu down. A wide lane was made through
the pine forests. At Neil’s landing, on the
river, great trees were whirled around and
broken off. The large cotton warehouse on
the hill, completely demolished, and the
large two story hotel nnroofed. The steam
er Atlanta was almost blown out efthe riv
er. She was uuable to laud near the Julia
St. Clair, which is being used temporarily
as a floating wharf at Chattahoochee. The
destruction to plantations was immense. No
lives lost or injured.
The Probable Advance in Bread-
stuffs.—The excitement in the New
York markets for flour end wheat recently
was somethiug remarkable. The sales of
wheat considerably exceeded 300,000 bush-
els The French are large buyers, and
their presence led to an active specnlation.
The Progress of Opinion,—A sea-
captain tells the foUu .iDg anecdote about a
shipmate who accompanied him on one of
his early whaling voyages :
Stile-* was a simple-hearted, transparent
young fqllqwyind whom tbey faid had been
‘raying attention’ for some time, to a
young lady, who, he had reason to think
did not fully reciprocate his ardent feel
ings. At all events the parting on her
side was no- so affectionate as he could
wish, aud he was impressed with the belief
that she ouly. kept him as a standby in de
fault of a Letter offeK
‘I don’t believe,’ Stiles would nay, with
despondent shake of tho head—‘I do
not believe that Aun Jones’ll have me, any
how.’
When they had been out a few months
and met with lair success, Stiles' tone was
modified.
The burden of his monologue changed
to—
‘Well, I dou’no but what Ann Jones’ll
have me, after all.’
With a thousand barrels of oil under
hati'he*, he became a great deal more hope
ful.
■Chances are pretty good for Miss Aun
Jones,’ he would say ; 'chances pretty good.
TZSUBQP.'A ? 910.
Reported for the TrUWeekry Courier.
A further large advance is not probable.— n0 '' 1
The Washington correspondent of th
Chicago Tribune, the leading Radical paper
of the Northwest, writes as follows of the
probable result of the fall elections:
‘The Republican party will undoubtedly
have as much as it cue do to keep its ma
jority iu the House of Representatives. It
will lose seats in New York, and I suspect
in every Southern State, ard will be hard
pushed in Connecticut, New Jersey, Ohio,
Missouri, and parts of Pennsylvania.”
Groat Britain, as appears bylote circulars,
is not getting any foreign wo eat, except
from the United States. Thb: demand at
this market for the continent has inter
rupted her supplies, and she will soon feel
the want of them. But the most import
ant fact is, the ailing off of the receipts at
tho lake ports which were, for the week
ending Junel'., 92,000 bushels of wheat,
and 26.000 ba -rels of flour; or, reducing
the flour to wheat, less than tho correspon-
ing week last year. This, in connection
with an increased demand, can hardly be
over estimated.
At fifteen hundred barrels, he had as
sumed a self-satisfied manner, and solilo
quized :
“I guess there’s no danger but what Ann
Jones’ll have me now.’
At two thousand barrels :
‘Ann Joies’ll bo glad enough to get me
nor, I knew.
When they cit up the last whale that

away for home, Stilca throw his hat in the
air, with a wild Indian yell of triumph, ex
claiming:
‘I’ll be hanged if I’ll have Ann Jones,
any how.
The New York Times declares that the
Radical party in New York ‘suffers from two
much leadership;” that ‘a crowd of small
politicians have usurped the functions and
exercised the authority ‘of leadership with
out a particle of legitimate right to the po
sition.’ That disease afflicts the party all
over the country.
Political Affairs in Ohio.—A let
ter published iu one of the Washington
city papers of tbe 17th, gives a careful can
vass of political-affairs in Ohio, from which
it is shown protty conclusively that there
will be a loss of it least three, and possibly
four, Republican Representatives iu Con
gress from that State. Gen. Scheuck and
Judge Bingham are named as being pretty
certain to be defeated.
Grant Threatened with Impeachment.
A Washington dispatch in the Xas hvil'c
Banner says:
‘The excitement in the Capitol, o win g to
the state of Cuban affairs,exceeds anything
ever witnessed bcloro.
Private assurances of a recast of the
whole Cabinet are freely given by the
President. Ominous bints of impeachment.

There are hundreds of Americans ar

elasss of semi.mumdaues went pretty regu

the elegance of their toilettes, the splen
dor of the gardens and kisoques, which are
lighted a giorno, and must be considered
the most*beautiful of the kind Now-a-days,
howcuer, or rather now a-nights, the women
who attend this place are of the lowest.-
The dancing is all done by hired parties,
and the Cocottes, formerly Lorettes, go no
longer to such places.
For a day or two the city has been full
of rumors iu regard to developments that
have been made by the Gubernatorial In

very unfavorable to Mr. Treasurer Aagior,
and though we have never been among

he has pursued, yet we hope that he will
be able ts make a satisfactorily clear
showing in all his transactions.—Atlanta

tually there must come an exodus of the
colored race from America, just as we seo
of the Irish coming from Ireland. It is
neither possible nor desirable to prevent it.
But it may be long years hence ere it com
mences, for the efforts to Africanize portions
of onr own Southern States will throw back
the advent of the movement. We see at the
present time a gradual but steady exodus of
the colored people from the North and from
the northernly states of the South to the
cotton States of the Gulf region. Their
race preponderates there in nnmbers, and
naturally that fact attracts emigration from
the North. But overy adverse turn in pol
ities that dispossesses the colored race in
any section wiil generate a movement to
ward Liberia.
Among other items in the appropriation
bill,which have passed the House and gone
to the Senate, is one of 810,000 for the sur
vey of the Coosa river, for ascertaining the
feasibility of removing the obstructions to
navigation on that portion of the river be
tween Greousport and Wetuupka. A sur
vey of tho river was attempted in 1868, by
the State of Alabama, and progressed to
the exhaustion of the amount appropriated
by her Legislature at the session of 1866—
7, and abandoned without any definite con
clusion. It is to be hoped that, should the
above appropriation pass Congress, the sur
vey will be taken hold of where the for
mer one left off, and that the practicability
or impracticalility of tbe improvement will
be settled.-—Col. Sim.

Terrible Tragedy by an Insane Mother.
Chicago, June 20.—On the evening
of the 16th, near Woodstock, Illinois, Mrs.
Peter Weitzel, in the absence of her hus-
head, breaking in his skull and rendering
him insensible.
She then seized a razov, rushed upon
her daughter, aged eight years, who was
asleep on the lounge, and cut her throat in
a shocking manner. The daughter man
aged to escape, and reaching the neighbors
gave the nlarm. When the neighbors rush
ed in Mrs. Weitzel was found in her bed
room with her windpipe dearly severed.-—
Doctors were called and tho wound, was
dressed. The recovery of the son and
daughter is probable; but that of the poor
mother is doubtfW. The family are Ger
mans, and are poor, hard-working people.—
Trouble vritk^hef tfeigMKns and other
misfortunes made .the woman insane. It
was her intention to kill the whole fttni-
ly if she could. Oh i was that not a terri
ble tragedy.

‘Plebiscite ’—Some inquiring wagseut
the following note to the editor of the New
Orleans Times:
New Orleans, May 26,1870.
‘Mr. Editor.—Enclosed find ten dollars.
What the deuce is a Plebiscite!
Yours languidly, J. C. Y.’
The importuned editor delivered himself
thus:
‘Jleasuriugjiur correspondent’s anxiety
by h> i liberality, both gratitude and com
passion prompt au early reply. Having
once passed through a similar condition of
mental exhaustion in endeavoring to com
prehend the ‘Schleswig-Holstein question,’
we can feel for our friend’s dazed condition
over the ‘Plebiscite,’ aud shall therefore
proceed to answer it.
‘A ‘plebiscite’ is a thing only few fel
lers understand. You see, when in the
course of human events, the policy of a gov
ernment, in its transcendental relations with
the spectral analysis of abnormal influences,
io fringing upon the perpetuity of institu
tions, at once detrimental and nugatory to
the abstruse interests of theoeraey, why,
then, a descent respect tor the opinions of
mankind requires the promulgation of a
a popular analytical manifesto, in whioh

words, it is Freneh for ‘Shoo, fly, don’t

In the Senate the Georgia bill was resum
ed. Schofield argued that the term of the
Legislature commenced with the life of the
State. If the State is admitted 1868, the
term commenced then. If the State requires
this bill for admission, the legislative term
commences with its passage. Farnsworth sup-
plimented his amendment, which, in effect,
elects a new Legislature' next foil, co ntend
ing that when the Legislature commenced
work their term of office commenced. He
declared that the object of Butlers’ bill was
to illegally extend the Legislative t“rm to
’72, and the Governor’s term to ’74, thus giv
ing that man Bullock four years more of op
pression and plunder. Bingham followed, and
declared that to give Bullock and the Legis
lature two additional years, would be a vio
lation of the Constitution of the United
States, and of the State of Georgia and the
declared creed of the Republican party.
