If Governor Lindsay had been illegally declared Governor of Alabama, the matter could have been very properly brought be fore the General Assembly where the Con stitution of the State very properly puts it “The facts npon which I base my claims to the office, and deny the claim* of Mr. Lindsay to the office are, are, in a great de gree, disclosed in the bill. I do not desire to do him an injury; but I do desire to pre vent him, or the presiding officer of the Sen ate, from doing me the irreparable injury of wrongfully deprivieg me of the office, up on such mere returns, before a proper op portunity is offered to me, in a proper tri bunal ot our State, to prove, as I believe I can, that lie was not fairly and lawfully elected over me to the office," Which for cool impudence and pettylog- ying casuistry excells anything that we have ever before seen or hearj. To follow this argument through would occupy too much of our space. The grand idea of Bill is this. He be lieves that a count of the (.lection returns will reveal the fact, as they did, that the people of Alabama wanted him no longer— af they did not want him at first—as Gov ernor. To dodge this unkiud expression of the people, Bill determined that the vote should not be counted all. But Bill counted without his host. IS COTTON KINtJ t Vurily it is a king. Mot so much of commerce as we once imagined, but of the minds and hearts of the Southern people. They have witnessed the dethronement of the tyrant from his commercial Kingdom, but still, in their energies they cling to and uphold him. And this they do too in the face <>i all reason and common sense. Bliudly they adhere to his cause, and submit to his pain tul requisitions. All personal freedom, all peace and comfort is sacrificed by his sub jects, that t ey may contribute to his pow er, and sweli the number of his exports. But oue grand, prevailing idea seems to move the Southern breast, and that is to out vie each other in duty to this tyrant.— The folly of this idea would be ridiculous were it not so painfully serious. If the posterity of the couutry did not depeud up on the wise direction of Southern euer gy, this cotton mania might very properly be made the subject of ridicule, but when the very life of our lovely and beloved laud depends upon a judicious disposition of all our energies, it cannot be so li.htly regarded It is for this reason that we are glad to hear mir wisest and best farmers beginning to raise their voices against their king. The following cornmanicatioij is from the pen of one of the most experienced and suLeessfal planters in Polk county. His theory is em ineutly correct, and wo do hope that our readers will bestow that attention upon his views that they so richly deserve. Wo will be pleased to hear front our corespondent again : Does it pay to raise Cotton to Buy Corn, Meat and Stock With t I think not. I know not. Men may figure as much as they please, but 5 years of direful experience ought to convince us all that it is folly. We have tried it all over the South and I think nine-tenths of the farmers will admit it We hire hands at high wages, feed them on high bread and meat, work hard all the year, and when we have sold our cotton, find the last dollar ;one, no meat in the smokehouse, nor corn in the crib. We commence again and re- peat the same thing the following year. We are thus wearing out our lands, aud grow ing older and poorer every year of our life, but seemingly no wiser. I*, docs seem to me that intelligent men (such as our farm ing citizens ara^-rould correct this error. But a wild fanaticism seems to have possess eel them, aud they follow the ignis fatuus, although their better judgment tells them that it leads to uncertain fortune, and prob able ruin. Farming at the South has become a reg ular gambling business, each one betting that everybody besides himself will make a small crop. We arc losing at every deal, and unless we conduct our operations on a safer basis, wa will scon ho a bankrupt peo ple. I propose tog.ve some reasons why we should lessen the cotton and increase the corn crop. Eve'ry* one knows that if we make one and a'half millions, instead of threo million hales, we will get as much money for the small crop as the large one, Well, let us riiduce the eotton crop (area planted) one-hulf, aud put the other half in corn. What will he the result 7 In the first place, we will make as much money and more than double the corn. This ex tra corn will feed our plow stock and labor ers, and euablc us to make all of our meat at home. In this way the cotton, after the laborer is paid well be a clear gain. We will thus save these heavy corn and meat bills, and will get rid of these heavy mortgages that are crushing the very life out of us. We can thus save our cotton better and cheap er, and have it earlier, because we will have only half tho acres to pick with the same hands we now use, We will then have time to ditch and fence our lands, save manure, and do thousands of things that the white king now forbids. Every day in the year belongs to him. Let ns as a great farming community, take this serious matter in hand, and deal with it as onr judgment dictates. Wo will then after a few years be the richest and happiest people on the globe, instead, as we are now, dependent upon the merest acci dent for success. Mr. Editor, this is a serious matter, in which every man, womanand child in the cottou States have a vital interest, and it should be urged upon the people with all the power that can be brought to bear np on them. Let the papers warn them. Let the farmers’ clubs act, and everything be done that can be to aronse the people to their interest. If we could all act together oh, what a country we would have. I am a farmer, which business 1 have al ways followed, i have never before writ ten a line for the public eye, and would not now if I did not see the country being de stroyed by this blind policy. You may talk to farmers about this all cotton system, aud the la-ge majority of them will agreo with you; but when planting time comes the last ODe of them will plant cotton as before, hopingthat every one else will adopt the mixed crop system Expeuience. ROME, GA., FRIDAY MORNING. DECEMBER 9. 1870. NEW SERIES-NO Hi Till-: FIRST BOOK OF TUB C1IRONI. t'I.ES OF GEORGIA. OlIAE. IT; . And it came to jusi that in those days there was a certain -(.an named Arnos who was a Tinker, and ha was a wis). and, and well skilled in the law. 2. Aud this Amos, the Tinker, had also been a man of war, aud Ins duty hat been to provide shoes aud breeches lor the soldiers. 3. Aud the mighty deeds of war whith this man Amos, the tinker, did, are they not also writeu iu the book of the Confeder acy. 4. But a vision fell upon the spirit of this man Amos the Tinker, and he repented him of the deeds of war which he had done in days of yore, aud he turned from the field of battle and became a man of the law. a. And it came to pass that when the highl and mighty ruler of th - great yau- kee universe heard of this man, Amos, the Tinker, that he sent his servants unto him with a message. C. Saying : Thus saycth the high and mighty Ulysses—ruler ot this great Yaa kee universe—Amos, thou art a brick. 7. Aud Amos, who was a Tinker, straight way arose and went to Ulysses. 8. And when Ulysses beheld him from afar off, he ran to him aud said 9. Let us have peace. 10. And ho then elad Anns, the Tinker, iu purple, and seated him upon a moss cushioned stool. 11. And he offered unto An os a cigar, but Amos did not smoke. 12. So Ulysses was well pleased with \iuus, the Tinker, that he did not smoke and he smoked the cigar himself. 13. Aud straightway the fame of Amos went out over the whole ya’i ee laud. 14. Aud it came to pass that this same Amos, the Tinker, aud l! ufus Behemoth, surnamed the Bullock, were brothers iu in iquity, and very familiar friends 15. Aud when Rufus Behemoth, sur- natued the Bullock, heard of the fame of Amos, the Tinker, he rejoiced in his hide, aud was exceedingly glad. 1(1. And l.o seut ucto him messages of reeling and mu -h low. 17. And Amos, the Tinker, was well pleased with Rufus Behemoth, surnamed the Bullock—the king, aud he also sent unto him a greeting. 18. And he spoke to him, saying, ask whatsoever of me that ye will, I will grant it, even unto the half of my honor. 19 And when Rufus Behemoth, sur named the Bullock, was told this that Amos the Tinker, had said he was glad iu his heart—for he knew that Amos, the Tiuker, was cutiniug in the law. 20. Aud it came to pass- that when the days drew uigh which were appointed lor the people to choose whom they should have for their law makers and public mas ters, that the king was greatly troubled. 21. For he fouud that the people would not look with favor upon his fricuds, and would choose some that were at enmity with him, the king. 22. So he was sad in his mind until he bethought him of the euuniug of Amos, the Tinker. 23. And then the kings’ countenance brightened up, and he sent for his fugle man, Geotge, who was likewise a Burnett. 24. And he said unto his fugleman.— Bring hither to me my chief servant, Fos ter, who is also a Blodgett, that I may may speak unto him about a matter that concerns me very much. 25 And when Foster, who was aLo a Blodgett, came into the presence of the king, he uncovered his head aud bowed himself at the feet of the king. 2C. And after he had kissed the great toe of the king, he lifted up his voice and said : “What wilt thou, oh king 7” 27. Aud the king said : Foster, my own chief lervant, Thou kuowest that the days draw near when the peoplo arc to choose their law makers again. 28. Aud now, less peradventure, they should prove rebellious, aud choose contra ry to my will, I desire that this evil day should bo put off. 29. And I bethought me, peradventure, my good brother,(Amos, the Tinker, who is so euuniug in the law might devise some trick whereby the people may not have the choosing of their masters. 30. Then spoke Foster, who was also a Blodgett, aud 3aid, true, oh king. Amos, the tinker, can do this thing—hut will he do it 7 31. And then tbs king looked sad, and he turned to his fuglemau, and said, “will he do it 7” 32. And then tho fugleman lifted np his voice in council, and said, “grease him, grease him. 33. Then was the king rejoiced, because this saying pleased the king. The Ne»v York Herald on the Alabama im- broglia. Harmony in a state with two executives is hardly to bo expected, and Alabama,with her two Governors, finds her government at a deadlock and- her people threatened with another civil war. At the last elec tion the majority for Lindtay (democrat) for Governor was one thousand four hun- and twenty-nine. On Satirday last, while the Legislature was in joint convention for the purpose of canvassing the vote for Stste officers, Gov ernor Smith obtained an injunction forbid ding the counting of the vote for Govern or and Treasurer. This injunction was obeyed, and after declaring the vote for Lieutenant Governor and Secretary of State, the Senate, composed almost entire, ly of republicans, withdrew, thus breakinj- up the the joint meeting. The Assembly, however, with the_ new Lieutenant Governor presiding, continued the session, counted the vote for .Governor, and declared Lindsay elected, Lindsay im mediately took the oath of office and enter ed upon its duties. ° ,n - * dicate, and obtained the services of a num ber of government troops, which he posted in froat of the executive room and Treasur ers office. Throughout the State the ex citement caa.-ed by these proceedings is in tense, and Governor Smith’s action is de’ nounced by all parties. Resolutions were adopted in the House yesterday reciting that, in the face of the fact that peace and order prevailed through- oat Alabama. a military force of United States troops had been quarterd w.thi i the oapital ef the State duriug the plescutses sion of the Legislature, au I demanding by whose authority au-l upon whose applies tion such troops had been scot there.— These inquiries are most pertinent and timely. Alabama is a recognized State of the Union, and federal ' interference in her purely loca- affairs cannot be too strongly reprehended. [Communicated. Bullock’s Last Outrage. Editor of the Courier : I am anx ious to know why His Excellency remitted the poll-tax I can hardly realiz - that the State Treasury is suffering from pletho ra; on th a contrary, with many others, be lieve that the skilful manipulations of Bul lock, Blodget and Go. have left no possible chance for such an occurrence. If I am correct in my estimate of the Governor's financial abilities, then I am left to specu late as to his probable object. Perhaps it was intended as au expression of sympathy for the poor Freedmeu, although they pos sess equal civil and political rights with the whites, yet his commiserating Excellency considered it would be an act of oppr .ssiou to require them to pay anything, however small the amount, towards—I wiii not say defraying the legitimate expenses of the State Government—bat the honest, jatliciont disbursements of Our Governor par excel lence. He was confident of oue fact, that the Radical vote would be greatly increased hy the act. The lessening of the amounts of reveuue to the State was hut a passiog thought, but perpetuate the power of the party aud tliiugs would be provide 1 tor hereafter.

Mark Twain’s Report of the Proceedings— Mr. Creely’s Straggle with Hit* Pump kin—Advice to a Mau who has a Cap ital of Ten Dollars and a Large Fa mi- iy- Mr. Grecly exhibited a puuikiu of his own raising. A* it embodied his solitary aud erouruiug success, alter several years <>: discouraging iuilure in pumpkin culture, the club surrounded . it with uncovered heads and mingled emotions of surprise, ad miration and envy. U was a snpeib fruit.aud when Mr. Gree ley's hat was placed on it to illustrate its size aud symmetry, and the hat aud pump kin seemed so perfectly adapted to each other, aud together produced au effect so staling, that several enthusiastic members swore :hey would have known who raised that pumpkin if they had seen it auy where. It is to be photographed by Gurney, and next year’s Tribuuc subscriber will receive copies. The pumpkin was the flattering product one of bushel of seed planted on the farm iu Champagua. Soon after blossoming,the vine manifested an inclination to wither— It was thereupon transplanted to a large flowcr-pot and removed to the town resi dence of its founder. For some time it piued and drooped, aud they set up at nights with it, expecting that every moment would be its last, but every moment turned oat not to be its last, and with carefnl nursing it finally rallied aud came np to maturity, as cherished and tough a pumpkin as ever grew. Dr. Sixhammers suggested that the re sult of Mr. Greeley’s iu- omitable struggle with this pumpkin, showed how every i i- ty family could provide itself with pump- kin-pic. He hoped to see the day when every window-sill, in every city, would be adorn ed with fructifying pumpkin-pots and ev ery workman's cottnge embowered in pump kin vino-. Thomas Dodd, of New Hampshire,writes to the club that he is fifty years old, in firm with consumption, has a large family, ten dollars m money, aud wants to know what to do. Mr. Moker; Go out to Greeley Colony and invest iu our irrigating ditch. Mr;. Layman: Buy a Texas rauehe, or Florida orange grove. Dr. Siimbie: His heal'.h requires light farming iu a bracing climate. Let him start an indigo plaotatiou iu Alaska. Mr. Greeley: He rnusu’t come t> New York. His S10 wouldn’t last a year; but out West he can Invest it, aud grow up with the coautry. If I had gone West wi h S10 at his age, I should he a happy mau now, with two suits of respectable garments, an office, aud a conscience guiltless of distracing tariff aud faruiiug essays. Mr. Herrings iuvited the club to visit his farm, ilirty miles up the river, next Wednesday, aud iuspeet a horse-radish that he had persuadeu to vegetate.

His foreinau would explain to the clerk, th j peouliar difficulty of raising this rare exotic. He would treat the club to a regular farmer’s dinner, the materials for which he had done already engaged at the city markets. The club accepted and adjourned.—Bug. falo Express.

Senator Cameron on Georgia Polities. Senator Cameron ai rived hero this morn ing from Georgia, whither, it is an lerstood, he went to help the Republicans to arrat ge matters so as to carry the State at the ap preaching election. The Senator says eve rything now looks very hopeful for a Re publican victory. Of course he disclaims, iu his usual modest way, any services of his own that would be likely to coutributc to the success of the party The organization is very good, and the members of it j retty gencrilly united. Senator Cameron thinks if the full negro vo' c can be bronght out the Republicans will have a fair majority There are some fears, however, that the ne groes in the country districts may he kept away from the polls through intimidation. To prevent this the Senator is of opinion that a strong force of troops should he dis tributed through the State. ’.'Ms would give courage to the negro voters, while al the «ame time it would prevent any rtisor der or outbreak. Governor Bullock, of Georgia, is also here, and had au interview with the Presi dent, as did also Senator Cameron It is understood that both gentlemen expressed their views of the situation in Georgia to the resident, and urged the policy of hav ing a sufficient military force in Georgia to protect all • he legal voters As already indicated in these dispatches, the President, through the Secretary of War, has ordered that additional troops he rent to Georgia, to remain until after the election.

TIIE SEWING GIRLS OF NEW YORK- Macaulay” writes from New York to th Rochester Democrat: By uo class is the approach of winter dreaded more than by tne poor girls of this city. This class numbers at least thirty thousand, and includes some very worthy characters. Iudeed there are lrequeut iu- stauces of families reduced from wealth to poverty, aud dependent on the carniugs of au industrious daughter who teaches or selves io a store, aud thus kcops.her aged pareuts from the sti eels. The autumn uowjust closing has been a very dull seasou, aud most branches of em ployment have been diminished. Clalflu Si Co., who usually employ large numbers of ;irls in their cloak department, discharged must of them early in the season. The stamping establishments whose imication of embroidery has been so very popular, have also discharged large uutiibers. The hook trade has been very slack, and hundreds, if tint thousands, of bookholders and paper stitchers have beeu idle. The perfumery business is greatly reduced, and even dress making, which improves as wioter fashions prevail, is unusually dull. T io highest price paid for women’s wages is live dollars per week; that is, on an average. A very capable baud iu some shops can make sev en dollars but there are f:w tliat reach that figure. The cheapest rate of board is three aol- lars an 1 a half, and the reader can form an idea of the chance these girls have of sav ing aoy thing. H ;viug been occasionally brought be hind the scenes, I cannot now gaze into any of the splendid windows of our fashion able dross makers without a sign. A few ycras a very remarkable pieee of embroide ry was exhibited. It was noticed in the papers, and ma.<y went to admire the wuo- ful skill which it manifested. A few days subsequently a strange suicide occurred. I have not the time to give the particulars, but the victim was the author of that ex quisite embroidery, and the story of her life aud death afforded the crowds -i fresh sensatiou as they gazed upon this last ef fort of despair. Some of these girls are of very rcspecta b!e and even first class families, which have fallen into evil times, and thus try to resist want. I knesv an excellent man who was high ly related, but who became poor, aud who had several accomplished daughters who had beeu very tenderly brought up. One of these girls determined to take in fine sewing, but having uo acquaintance in the trade, she knew not where to get it. At last she made a tour through the great es tablishments, but sought in vain and be came very nervous and distressed by these refusals- However, at length she did get some materials and an order to cou plete them, and returned horns in great haste, but such was her state of mind as the en tered the room, that she dropped all and fainted. Her mother and sisters saw at once what she bad done, and after she was restored thep all went to work and compl J- tedthetisk. The girl returned the woik and not more, and thus the family was kept from suffering until better times dawn ed upon them. It was a bold movement for a delicate girl to make, but it saved tho family, and poverty is apt to make aoy one bold—au experience which was early learn 'ed. The Cincinnati Commercial says : “Gen Gram is losing his grip” If it ba anything tike the once famons “Tyler Grippe” the sooner he loses it tho better.—Mew York Eerald. It is worse. Tylers’ grippe merely stran gled men, whereas Grants’ first strangles and then robs its victim. THLE&aAPHIC.

Georgia Senators.—A Washington dispatch, Nov. 28th, to the Macon Journal says: ‘It was stated in Republican circles last night that R. H. Whitely and H. P. Far rell will be admitted to their scats as Sen. aton, from Georgia, early next week.— Their credentials are now iu the hands of the Senate. If these geatlemen are admitted every seat in the Senate will be filled for the first time since I860.’ TRe Florida Election.

Just as as a traveler was’writing his name on the register of a Leavenworth ho tel, a bedbug sallied and took its way across the page.

[COMMUNICATED.] |\| Van Wert, Ga., Nov 28, ’70. | Eds. Intelligencer—If you have nev er traveled, np the valley of the Euhailce iu Polk county, then you wonld.be amply repaid by doing so at an early day. The Van Wert and Cartersville Road is now completed some ten miles west i f the latter point, where a comfortable h .ck can he procured to convey yon to the village of Van Wert. This place is situated just in the rear of a slate mountain, which bounds the valley of the Euharlee on the west, and is a beautiful eight for a town, possessing salubrity of climate, good water, and pic turesque scenery. The mineral wealth of this section, too, cannot be surpassed by any of the same ex tent in any portion of the South. A ran ;o of mountains, four miles in extent hounds the adjacent valley on the west and South, through which runs a vein of as pure slate as can be found iu this or any other coun try The value of this article is not appre ciated by our citizens. Its manifold uses seems not to be understood. It is a l only the best roofing material in use, hut it is valuable and ornamental as a building ma terial —door and window sills, hearth stones pavements and flooring, aro all ui.ndc -ot them, for which it. answers an admir.hiu purpose. Slate is impervious to water, and hene i makes the best floor for cellars when ‘ !ai I in cement. No briek building should be erected without a coarse of slate Did abo.-e the ground in the walls, to cut off the junta.- tore which is absorbed by the brick and carried by cappillary attraction to the ex treme height of the wall, causing dauipue— and producing diseases among the oecir pants of brick houses. The streets of At lanta arc to some extent paved with rough slabs of granite. How much more benuii- fn] and useful would he a slate pavement. The material being finer, would give to'i.ur streets a more luxurious and arist wraio appearance, and the front walks, of private residences more of taste and cleanliness— The slate caa be quaried, when a quarry is. once opened, cheaper than granite and be sawed and split into more regular Si.apes with less labor. It occnrred to me that an enterprising man csuld easily make .it .for tune at this business. The time will come, ere long,when these deposits of slate will be appreciated and sought after, and he who moves at once will make money by the operation. To a nov ice the process of quarrying and splitting slate for roofing is very interesting. A hole is first drillet from 6 to 111 leet deep in a bed oi slate and about 5 feet from its edge, it is then tilled to within 6 inches of the top with powder, and dry clay add ed and tamped until it is compacted upon the powder, the fuse being first inserted he. fore the tamping is added. When the ex plosion takes place the bed of slate will be found to be split from the depth otwhu hole through its entire length, and loosen ed from that portion of the bed lying bq- neath. ,. Now commences the process of getting it out by means of crowbars. >\ hen got. ten out it is split into suitable thickness for making blocks. These again are brukou by catting a notch on oue side and striking the opposite with a heavy maul into blocks of suitable length and are conveyed to the splitter. It is remarkable with what skill he uses his chisel aud wallet in dividing’ it into pieces suitable for roofing slat.. It is then passed to the dresser, who, svith a long knife on the snarp edge of the bench, trims the edges atone blow to eacn, and re duces it into the desired shape and size.— This is an art only acquired by long prac tice iu early youth, and it has become a common saying that a Welshman only can split and dress slate. The number of piec es split ont in a day usually run from two to four thousand. The usual average of products in a mine is one square of slate to each hand employed in the quarry. Tho price of roofing slate is about $8 per square at the quarry. Now it is evident that this must afford a large margin for profit as the wages of the hands cannot exceed two dol lars at an average. There is no probability of glutting the market, as it will increase in propo tion as orders can be promptly filled. The slate use 1 in the South comes from Wales, and the cost of transportation on these would afford a profit sufficient to satisfy the moat avarieous. In pursuing the subject oi slate, I bad overlooked the beds of rich iron ore, and extensive forest of long leaf pine which arc also to be seen in that section, bnt I have already, exhausted your patience, and will bid you a adieu for the present— Yours, Gl Miscellaneous Items Though Butler wants war, it isn’t Britan- ia metal he’s after.
