Mr. L. was a young man of most indom itable energy anc' perseverance, and du- ri*g bia term ot office as Chief of the Atbens Fire Department, built up and increased the efficiency of that organlza tioa to a very considerable extent. He was also an active member of the Inde pendent Order of Odd-Fellows, and for one year held the position of Grand Patriarrb of the Grand Encampment of Georgia. At tbe time of bis death he .was junior mem ber of tbe well-known Savannah firm of Alexander A Maxwell. Mr. Luckie was, we suppose, about 31 years old, and was cut down in the prime of life. He leaves a wife and two children, we believe, besides a huge circle ofrel stives and Mends, to mourn his untimely death.

Oats are so ^adly thinned by the cold weather that farmers are plowing them TteaspaB a subject that we transfer it entire to our columns: Tbe recent animated controversy (if we may use a mild term in this connection) between the manufacturers ot guano and the fanners of Georgia—in which the lat ter seem to have very much the best of the argument—is exceedingly suggestive, not only in its inception, but in its results. We are nut at all premature in speaking of tbe result of tbe protest on tbe part of the farmers against an increase in the price of commercial fertilizers; for there could be but one ending to a movement ieangurated with so much spirit and char acterized witb so much unanimity. Prac tically, tbe victory was witb the planter at tbe outset; and that be will retain the advantage thus obtained is not to be ques tioned. Tbe movement, we have said, is suggestive. It Is more than this; it is full of the promise of a new era in the history ot onr agriculture; it marks, as we fain would believe, an era of independ ence, based upon economy and thrift- viewed in this light tbe movement is of far more importance than its present re sults, and is foil ot significance for the fu ture. Henceforth, if we interpret the signs aright, tbe farmers ot the State will make themselves felt and beard as a body—as important factors in the industrial, politi cal and social progress of Georgia. For the first time in tneir history our tbe benefits ot owjpera- i by a common impulse, iey gave emphatic direction to a protest iga nst a movement having for its end ind purpose an increase in the price of •'oramercial fertilizers, and with such sac cess that they have been put to little or no ioconveoience ; but, as we have said, the movement is of far more practical sig nificance than tbe mere momentary suc cess with which it has been attended. It is a sign, it seems to ns, that the agricult urist is gradually beginning to perceive the importance of investing his cal'ing witii 'he dignity with which it should naturally ’>e surrounded. It is a sign that the farm- **r is preparing to assert bis independence in a formal way, and tbe sign of independ ence is evidence that mortgages, factors’ iens and other embarrassing surroundings are gradually disappearing from the plan ter’s memorandum book. • Another important fact in connection with this movement is, that th« farmers, before taking the steps which placed them in antagonism witb such a powerful com bination as that represented by tbe agents of commercial fertilizers, counted tbe cost of defeat, and were doubtless prepared to carry on their fanning operations without going to the expense of applying a single pound of guano to their farms. Their crops might have been somewhat smaller, but tbe lesson ip economy would have iieen a most wholesome one. We contend that there is not a farm in the State man aged as it should be, that cannot be made to produce by far tbe greater .part of its own fertilizers, and there is not a farmer in Georgia who could not save hundreds of dnltors annually by paying stricter atten tion to the smaller ami apparently unim portent economies of agriculture. It is for this reason, therefore, wholly apart from its intention or its result, that we view the recent movement of tho planters witb unqualified satisfaction. For the Southern Witch min..

Editors Having a few spare moments from the busy cares of life, I know of no better way I could employ them than ,in writing a short news letter.to the dear old Watchman, whether I succeed in making tbe communication worthy of a place in your columns or not The beautiful Spring days which occa sionally dawn upon us, remind tbe tiller of the soil that seed-time and harvest are ra pidly approaching, which reminder begets activity upon tbe part of the strong man, as he holds his plow “ from early morn to dewy eve,” pouring forth those truly en chanting songs, prompted by the enliven ing hupe that by-and-by the Autumn will come, and with it a full reward for the toils of the season. The general health of the people in this county is remarkably good, when consid ered in connection witb the tact that the weather, during the present winter, has been very changeable—at times almost in stantly passing from one extreme to the other. The lowlands in this section, which are subject to injury from inundations in the winter season, have suffered less to this writing than usual. The measles have been very -prevalent in tbe county for months; we remember, however, to have heard ot no deaths from that cause. Tbe town Marshal of Carnesville has had no occasion to make an-arrest, that we are aware of, since the beginning jf the year. The new towns along the E. A. L. B.

Our citizens are, for the most part, at peace and in harmony with each other aDd are hopeful of an early deliverance from the period ot hard times, which has so re lentlessly dealt with us all. _ The Watchman is no less popular than in tbe years gone by which sufficiently de scribes its prominent place among onr sub stantial citizens.

The river and harbor bill appro priates about fix million, and probably tbe additions to bo made in Honae and Senate will increase the amount to seven millions There will be' spirited opposition to tbe bill, but, as in years past, it will certainly be ineffectual. _ It having been decided in Democratic caucus to attach to tbe sundry civil bill a clause repealing all Federal jury discrim inations in th& South arisfog out of the civil war, there will probably be a contest over that bill.-fca-Mr. Hale spewing for t ie Republicans, yesterday intimated in the Honae that his party would not oppose repeal it the Democrats would not insist on repeal of tbe election supervisor law.
