Flotp Co., Dec. 24, 1870
B. F. Jones 1 —-Dear Sir—On the 25th
of February last I commenced breaking up
one acre of wheat stubble land, first using
a oae-hosre Avery plow, turning it about 6
inches deep, following in the furrow with
an iron stoex scooter plow (.Nichols’ pat
ent) making the furrow about 0 inches
deeper—12 in all.
Oa April the 25th I laid off the rows
with a long shovel plow, following with the
same scooter, applied but 300 pounds of
Merriman's automated bane in the subsoil-
ed furrow, then with a farrow on each side
making a ridge, usiug a turning plow, open
inn again with same scooter, closed again
with twu furrows with one of Zubers's one-
horse turning plows, split the ridge with a
sweep, finishing the bed, on the top ol this
bed I made a small furrow, and on the 2Gth
of April deposited the seed (Peeler) coy-
ered with a wooden tooth harrow.
Ou the 7th of May I run around with a
2o inch sweep (own make) clearing the
whole middle with two furrows, chopped
out with a No. 1 Scovil hoc, thinning to 3
stalks to every width of the hoe; on the
14th of May run around again with a
sweep, thinned to one stalk in the hill,
plowed again 23d of May aud 1st of June
h >ed„agaiu 10th of June, plowed again on
the 18th, two furrows to tho row, hoed
again 30th of-June, plowed again I2ti. of

Mountain Gat, Near Home, )
Dec. 20i!i, 1870. j
!!. F. Jones—Dear Sir—De.iriug to ou
tlie list as a competitor for the premium
which you offer tor the greatest yield of
cotton, prnaueed ou one icre of laud, plant
el and culfivnted by a boy under 1G ye irs
of age, I sought and obtained from my fath
er the c iveted acre, and beg herewith to
submit the statement of the mode aud man
nor of preparing tho land and cultivating
the crop.
Tile acre assigned me was a piece of
dark mulatto upland, with a stiff rod clay
subsoil—had been cultivated the three pre
ceding years in sweet potatoes, and received
oncdi.ye.u a light broadcast manuring with
c twnen and barnyard manure. Early in
.'•l arch I .broke up with a long and narrow
hulltoegab, followed by a two horse IJrin-
ley . plow, as deep as two stoat mules canid
pull it, and harrowed with . a heavy two-
horse harrow. The grouid had been con
siderably trodden by stock during the win
ter. and the bulltongue was used to prevent
it breaking up cloddy.
About the middle ot April 1 finished
with a one-horse turning plow, again liar
rowed it,- iraiWollowed the harrow with a
heavy two-horse,. clod crasher. I then
hassled out apd deposited in heaps such ma-
utife as-1 could githardip, consisting of G
twaliotfe loads from the stable, eight from
the.cowstalls, twel e from the wood pile.
fouT: loadspf-leached ashes, together with
sixteen loads qi‘ scrapings from :he barn
yard, consisting mostly of partially rotted
straw, which was of little value as a ferti!
izir- 1. taiil.my rows off font feet wide
with a long straight shovel, followed by a
sabtfuil euul'cr as deep as a strong mule
culd pul! it. In the bottom of this furrow
I deposited the manure, and bedded on it
with a one.horse Brinley plow, which I al-
soijfhllolYegnyith a. subsoil coulter, and com
pleted the bed by adding two more furrows
with the Brinley, and one with the straight-
shove!. I opened the beds with a small
bulltonguo, dropped the seed with a Dou
Lau cotton plantor,.and.covered with a dou
ble-fbot Bailov covering plow. The seed
planted wcre'bf the Dixon variety, and had
been wall rolled iu land plaster and Peru
vian guano combined. 1 commenced on
the 5th and finished planting on the 7th of
May, .hdcl a good stand within a week, and
in -ftw days I sided off with a half sweep
wing from tne cotton, chopped out as so in
asst could, and th row the dirt back to the
young'plants, with the same half sweep,
time-wing to the cotton, followed with a
tucro.w by a Dixon sweep to level the atid-
dlJF. - This plowing I followed with the
boost ud thinufiiiout to a stand. After this

it received'.

Christina- Thoughts-
The doubly sanctified day, the holy
25th, though cold, so bright and peaceful,
has passed, leaving its impress for good or
evil ou the hearts of all God’s creatures.
A sweet conseiousneess of Divine approval
for ad those who love and follow in the
footsteps of that altogether lovely and sin
less child of Bethlehem, and the dark
gloom of perverted knowledge and miser
able unrest fur those who know the right,
yet prefer the wrong.
In all our broad land each borne presents
a different scene, and only the one whose
kindly eye is everywhere beholds the va
rious hearthstones and reads with tender
interest the thoughts of joy or woe that
well in silver or turbid tide from the hearts
his hands have fashioned, Ills own great
heart swelling with profound sympathy and
ineonquerahle love, alike for those in happi
ness or misery. Ah ! how intensely sweet
is his ever blessed presence, to those whose
pathway is none of the brightest or smooth
est, whose fricuds, true and sincere, are
few and poor.
But, oh, there is something better tlau
the comforts of wealth, truer and more ear
nest than earthly friends, more precious
than the trifling gifts gold can purchase.
The earnest, almost heroic buoyancy of con
scious innocence and truth, the resting,
confiding trust in a friend who has prom
ised to remain faithful “even unto'the
cod,” and those words cannot fail, and the
earnest expectation of the creature for the
gift of eternal life through this same Je.
sus, who, born in a manger, thus touching
ly exemplifies Ilis loving sympathy for bis
seemingly less favored childrau who serve
him insincerity and humanity. Beautiful
indeed and of great price in the sight of
God is the record of such a- life. Not that
it is sinless and unblamable. Oh no, but
through grief and tears and earnest prayers
has resisted temptation, aud came off more
than conqueror, through Him whose love
softens every affliction, and whose comfort
ing, tender promises bind more closely to
Him every day.
Then why grieveand pine when we have
such a tru ; and tender guide through life’
u ost devi ins paths. We should gratefully
yield unq i -"tiouing, implicit obedience to
so gracious a friend, and follow with cheer
ful. ingenous simplicity and loving confi
dence the meek and lowly Savin'", through
self sacrifice, tribu’ations and anguish, our
hearts filled with mercy, forgiveness and
unfailing charity, o ir lives as near as pos-
s : ble counterparts of hi-so tenderly beau
tiful with the holy ligh" o! goodness and
truth.
When thy tieart is filletlhvith pleasure.
Anil thy soul o’erflows with joy,
Which to thee seems without measure.
And devoid of all alloy:
Mayest tiiou then with holy gladness
Rise upon the wigns of prayer.
To bis throne, when not in sadness.
Sweetly l.ow and worship there.
When the world seems all Elysian,
And thy friends so pure and true.
And thy life some fairy vision,
All so bright (itcome? to few)
Then his graciousness remember.
Atll thy riches lie bestows;
In gratitude thy heart surrender,
Thy shining light present his foes.
But when the world grows cold and dreary,
On thy tieart false friends have trod:
And thy soul despairing weary.
Dares to murmur 'gainst iis Got:
Oil, remember then that Jesus,
Wounds to bring us to his arms,
Compassionate He ever sees us,
Our souls tiy loving kindness charms.
Faithful love and meek endurance.
Purity and truth through life.
Kindness here with the assurance,
Wo shall conquer in the strife.
Eve hath not seen, and past conception,
All tho joys that we shall hare,
Promised by him who scorns deception,
In that blissful worlu of love.
VIOLET.
Burning of the Spots wood Hotel.
Verily Richmond, is the City of disast
ers. The break down of the court room,
the recent disas rous flood, and now comes
the terrible fire, on the night of the 24th
instant, to complete the chapter.
We append the following press account
of the fire,which resulted so fatally.
Richmond, Dec., 25th.—The Spotswood
Hotel, aod all the buildings of that block,
the finest io.the city, were bnrned at two
o’clock this a. M.
The business houses burned were
Branch aud Curreut’s crockery store ;
Adam’s Express Companys office, Howe’s
Sewing Machine store," and other s-nallet
stores.
The weather is the coldest for thirteen
years. Thermometer fiie degress above
zero.
At a quarter past two, as the porter wa9
waking passengers for the Southern train,
the fire was discovered in the basement.—
Every effort was made to wake up the
guests.
The scene was indescribable; men rush
ing about trying to rave their baggage;
women half naaked and barefooted, rushed
into the snow eovetod streets The engin
es were promptly on tho spot, hat the water
was frozen and caused delay. Before twen
ty minutes the flames prevented escape by
tne staircase, when the guests began jump,
ing from wiudows, lowering themselves by
blankets and ropes
P. P. Clarke, steward, was fatally hurt,
by leaping from the third story. Mrs. Emi
ly Cornelius, housekeeper, with two other
ladies, appeared at the window of the fifth
story, screaming for help. The firemen’s
ladders failed to reach them by two sto.
ries.
While the firemen were trying to length
en them, the women disappeared in a cloud
of dark smoke, and the room brightened
up for a lew moments with flames.
Persons known to be lost up to now are
Erasmus Ross, Clerk of Libby Prison dur-
ing tho war, Mrs Emily Coruelious,
housekeeper: .Sum. Hines. Clerk, with Mil-
hirer and Co,
The register of the hotel is destroyed and
it is impossible to say what strangers are
lost.
There are about a dozen unclaimed
tranks of parties from New Fork and oth
er Nothorn cities. A noticeable fact is
Glut the fire left one building on the cor
ner, the saute which checked the evacua
tion of the couflagation.
A. C. Shaffer, State Printer, escaped
from the fourth story by dropping from
window cornice to window cornice, reach
ing the ground badly burned, but other
wise unhurt.
The guests lost all their clothing—8300,
000 of loss. It was insuied mostly in
Nothern offices.
LATER
The following additional names are
known to be lost: H. A. Thomas, Agent
of the Panorama of the Pilgrim’s Progress,
W, H. Pace, Danville, Yu., TJ.S. Mail A-
gent,and J. B. Farris, Messenger of the
Southern Express.
The Spotswood was valued at $140,000
and was insured for SGO,000.
Sublet, Luck aud Co., had $20,000 in
surance on their furniture, and $7,000 on
their wines and carpets"
The National Insurance Company of
Baltimore loses $8,000.
All the goods ready for delivery in the
Southern Express Office were burned"
•Justice.—We desire to speak a word
of justice in behalf of a gentleman with
whom, during the excitement ot the re
cent political contest, we were pained to
differ, and we make the offer upon our own
volition-and without the knowledge or
consent of the gentleman iu question; we
allude to Major Charles II. Smith, whoso
support of Georgo Barnett ca led down up-
■his head the severest censure of his enemies
and the regret of his friends.
From a proper understanding of the mo
tives that induced Major Smith to this
course, wc are constrained to believe that
he was actuated by purely patriotic and
nnselfish motives. That his sympathies
were not with the republican party, and
that to-day he it as true to his loved South,
as he was when under the keen satire of
‘Bill Arp'he so justly stung her enemies to
the very soul.
While we do not approve the policy Ma
jor Smith choose to adopt in the matter, we
are now convinced that his motives were
good, aud must beg our readets everywhere
to suspend their harsh judgement, at
least, until time can soften its asperi
tv.
lertifioate - herewith enclosed will
e result of the operation. You
te to add that I planted tco
jicii cause the bolls failed to
were caught by. frost, enough
; on the stalks, had they ma-
yieldcd as much as I have
t the ground.
The State Road. -Our Atlanta tele
gram announces the lease of the State
Road for a term of twenty years, to a com
pany of capitalist of whom the majority
are prominent citizens of Georgia, and of
which Ex-Governor Joseph E. Brown is
President. It will be seen that the princi
pal railroads of the State are represented
in the new company, which is a guarantee
against injurious discrimination. The road
will be ably managed, the security of the
State is ample, and though this great work
in honest hands might be made to yields
much greater revenue to the State, than
$300,000 per annum, it is doubtful wheth
er the people will not be gainers by an ar
rangement which secures a certain income
from it, and relieves the politics of our-
State from a prolific source of fraud and
corruption.—Sav. Netcs.
Accident on the Ocmtjlgee.—The
Macon Telegraph & Messenger says that on
Tuesday morning about 11 o’clock a party
of gentlemen, composed of Messrs W Scott.
Clark, John Barclay, Dave Connor. Dr. F
G. Castleu, Henry Ells, W. T. Nelson, G.
C. Napier, aud a colored man named Bob
Banks, left Macon in three bateans on
duck-hunting cx ursion down the Ochmul-
gee River. They bad proceeded down
the stream to what is known as Bullard’s,
near Barclay’s plantation, when on Wednes
day afternoon, about two o’clock, the boat
in which" Mr, Henry N. Ells and his ser
vant Bob Banks, were seated, became cap
sized in the river, by running against a log
floating down the stream. Mr. Ells clung
to his boat, bat Bob grasped the log and
climbed upon it Soso)n|as this occurred
the boat in which Messrs Connor, Nelson
and Napier were seated, hurried to the as
sistance of Ells and the negro, and in the
struggle to get them out of the water this
boat was aiso capsized, aod the water was
so intensely cold that the struggle was
then ior life ou the part of each individual
and as clinging to the beats in such coid
water was certain death, each man, except
the negro, struch out for the banks.
Messrs Nelson ond Connor succeeded iu
teaching the oppsite bank of the river,
near Barclay’s plantation, and after wadin^
through a cane bteak and water waste deep
and through the ico in the Swamp, the
managed to find their way to Mr. Barclays’
house, after suffering most terribly from the
cold. From thence they walked to the
Macon and Brunswick Railroad stalion and
reached Macon.
Mr. George Napier reached the bank on
this side of the river, but as he got into
a most dense eanebrnke and near which
there is no known settlement, the greatest
fears are entertained for his life. Mr. Ells
was seen by Metsrs. Connor aod Nelson
out in the river after they got ashore, and
ho called to them that, he was going to
drown, and to give h's love to his mother
anti mother, and went down.
The colored man still clnng to the float
ing log, but as he could not swim and was
nearly frozen to death, no hopes aie enter
tained that he is alive.
Let any Democrat read the pronuncin
montos of these new parries, and bet will
find that on all important points they enun
ciate only what he, as a Democrat,has been
laboring for all his life,
Hence he wiil inevitably conclude that
new movements but show that his course
should be straightforward,and in dne time
all these factions will unite with the old
party which has stood amid the storms of
the present century.—N. H. States and
Union.
Tift Elected !—From the vauge and
indefinite returns so far received, we are
prepared to annnnnce the election of Hon
Nelson Tift, over Whiteley, for 41st and
42d Congress by a liberal majority
jTfce New Parties.
As a natural rcsnlt of the breaking np of
the Republican party, there conies to the
surface any number of bubbles of which it
is attempted to form new parties. We have
only a few words to say in regard to those
which appear now.
First, there is the Revenue Reform par
ty which threats to overthrow the domi
nant party in that CoDgrass which organize
next March. This new feature in the po
litical world means simply this, that a large
number of Western and Southern members
will unite with the Democracy, and to all
intents and purposes, become a part of the
party. 1
The principles winch are the founda
tion of the movement are only such as have
been advocated by the Democracy for years.
The men who change their position all come
from the ranks of the Republicans and join
with Lite Democrats. The same is true of
those who are trying to get up a diversion
in favor of Free Trade or at least a tariff
for revenge alone They simply abandon
the high tariff, protection doctrines of the
Republican party, and unite with the De
mocracy.
A large number of the Republican pa
pers like the New Yotk Evening Post,call
for a new party of that sort, bnt the plat
form they lay down consists of a few new
planks taken from the Democratic platforms
of the past fifty years
Then wc have in this and other New Eng
land States what is known as the Labor Re
form party. Every man whohas read their
platforms or declarations or principles must
see plainly that the foundation of them all
is taken wholly from the platforms which
the Democracy have stood upon for nearly
a Century. So unmistakable and plain is
this truth,that it needans argument to prove
it.
Proof-Reading*
Mr. EDrToR:—
There is one fault of our oity pa
pers which has long been an annoyance,and
has become of late a severe trial of out pa
tience, namely, careless proof-reading.—
Scarcely an art icle appears that is not mis-
taked more or less by typographical er-
erors.
You editors are perhaps not aware
of the exteot of the evil,as you read Doth
iog but your own editorials, which are gen
erally passable. (I mean as to typographi
cal accuracy, of coarse.) But as they are
not extensively real by us, their freedom
from error does not mend the matter much.
Oar guessing faculties are brought active
ly into use, every morning, especially in
reading the telegraphic column; and where
a man lias bat little to waste guessing out
the meaning, it is rather vexing. I often
hear ugly words about you in this connec
tion. The effect is of about the same as if
overy third word was stricken ont. How
yon butcher French and German names in
the war news. However, that does not
much matter, as most of as don’t know tho
difference.
I am told, sir,that the best English Dai
lies undergo six proof-readings before they
are submitted to the public, and that the
least error in the type is considered
blemish upon tie reputation of th-jour
nal.
One snch rrading with attention, would
much improve either of the Rome papers"
I read io the Courier, not long ago, where
Col. Cothran had put 140 tacks of somebo
dy’s celebrated phosphate on a little plat
of ground to reise turnips. And he did
raise a power of them. But I wondered
why he bragged so about it,considering how
mueh phosphate he had used, until I guess
ed that it was 140 pounds, instead af sacks,
you often do worse than this.
The Daily seems to read the “proof” of
nothing except Bullock’s proclamations and
‘Our Sunday Mornings.’ As he is paid
for the former, however, he can afford it.
Tho latter, perhaps, is a labor of love on
the part of the ‘library editress,’ for which
wo are duly grateful
As Grady prints nothing much except
his own writing and the telegraph, he ha9,
I suppose, fewer sins to answer for in this
respect
Now sir. if you can get this sqoib setup
so that you and the other city editors can
guess out its meaning, I hope you may be
benefitted by it, and will in the fntnre give
us more respectable papers.
