AGRICULTURE.
The Tine Policy of the Southern
Planter-
The following extracts are from the
Bpeech of the Hon. B. H. Hill, delivered
at the Fair at Jonesboro’, Ga., August
8th, 1873:
A people who will not see their dan
ger. are not apt to provide for their safe
ty; and a people who prefer flattery to the
truth, will not be apt to see their danger.
They will pass on like the fool, and be
punished. We have certainly been heavi
ly punished, and the days of our sorrow',
I fear, are not yet numbered. I was
raised on a farm. Agriculture has been a
passion with me. I have followed it to
my cost. I know more about it than you
imagine, and I have paid more for my
information than, perhaps, any other man
in the State.
All wealth comes primal ily from the
ground. This is God’s decree. Science,
skill and art may improve, refine and add
to the value of that which is produced
from the earth, but the producer is the
origin—the primary' source—of all the
wealth of this world, and no man could
live, much less grow rich, but for the
farmer.
And yet, as a class, the agricultural
population is the poorest in all countries.
Wealth—money—accumulates in the
hands of all trades, more largely than in
those of the producer. Is it not strange
that those who produce all wealth should
be the poorest of all people? Why is it
that farmers work hard and keep poor,
and Dearly all trades that handle their
products grow rich ? How does it hap
pen so ? Because the merchant and the
manufacturer take a direct and personal
interest in legislation, and make it their
business to study, to understand, and to
shape and direct the legislation of the
country. The fanner looks to Provi
dence for rain to produce his crops, and
when the rain comes he is content; while
the trader looks to Congress for laws to
make his profits, and, in some form or
other, he is sure to get the laws and reap
the profits.
I wish I had time to show you how all
the commercial, manufacturing and spec
ulating world have fonned their schemes,
shaped the laws, and united in harmoni
ous shrewdness to gather the profits of
cotton planting in the South.
I tell you to-day I care not what sea
sons may come, what large crops you
may raise; still, under existing conditions,
you will ever grow poorer who produce
cotton, and they will ever grow richer
who handle it after it is produced.
Under the present policy, the next
generation of Southern people will be
come the poorest, the most powerless,
and the most contemptible of earth’s in
habitants; while, under a wise policy, the
next generation of Southern people may
become the richest, the most powerful
and the most respected of peoples.
Which destiny will we choose ?
But, you ask, how' can this better des
tiny be secured ? I will tell you. First—
Make cotton your surplus crop! In these
five words lie the Samson locks of your
future power. Make your own fertilizers
by resting, cropping, grassing and man
uring your lands. Thus you become in
dependent of the guano merchants. Raise
your own provisions. Thus you become
independent of the provision merchants.
Your chd&pest and safest line of transpor
tation runs from your own fields and
hog-pens to your own barns and" meat
houses ! With no debts for your supplies,
you will need no accommodation credits
at two per cent, per month. Thus you
become independent of brokers, cotton
factors and lien merchants. You can
then sell your cotton at your own time,
to your own chosen buyers, and will get
your own money. None of these things
can a cotton planter do who plants on
credit, and borrows money to buy his
provisions.
But, you say, the Western States raise
provisions so much cheaper, we can make
more money raising cotton and buying
from them. This is the teaching of fig
ures, and a greater lie was never taught.
Now, I affirm, it is cheajier for you to
raiseyour own provisions, than to have
them brought from the West, and given
to you at the nearest depot free of cost
and charges! How is this ? In the first
place, if we raise five millions of bales of
cotton, we will get no more money for
them than we would get for one half that
number. Then, out of the same amount
realized, you pay for raising the fire mil
lions just double cost of production !
Half the labor and supplies employed in
raising five million bales of cotton could
be employed in raising supplies without
reducing the value of the cotton crop
one dollar. But half this labor would
raise more than you needed for supplies.
You could employ much of it, also, in en
riching your lands, and improving your
property in many ways. Then you
would come to the end of the year with
your cribs full of com, your smoke houses
full of meat, your family full of smiles,
yourselves full of independence, and
your pockets full cf money for invest
ments. And how would you invest it?
In cotton factories on the waterfall*
which God has sent all through your
country to run spindles. This would
make you independent of Old and New j
wake jour o,m implements of lmsbandrr,
-Wh .cnld mate yon ^dependent of
Pennsylvania foundries, and Massachn
setts workshops. In a word, every im
piovement would be built up in your own
country, and all the profits of those ™
pocke“s W ° Uld g ° 11110 your own
Go on as you are now going, making
cotton your chief crop, and slavery is ttS
the doom of your children and your chils
dren s children forever ! A people who
depend on other people for food and
dothing, are and must be slaves.
Make cotton your surplus crop, and
your wealth, independence and power will
multiply as surely as the years increase.
Yokohama Streets.
The streets of Yokohama are wide
and straight. Each house is built of
wood, without an atom of paint, and is
areal toy house, a genuine Lilliputian
owiss chalet, built with a taste, a nicety
and a neatness which are admirable.
Ihe Japanese are wonderful workers in
wood; and it is a pleasure to see the
roou so light, and yet so strong, suppor
ted by walls which are made like the
Bide-scenes in a.theater, of thin strips of
wood, over which are pasted sheets of a
cottony, transparent paper. In the
evenings, when the lanterns dispense
their soft light round the inside of
white buildings, the spectator seems to
be looking at a magic lantern. During
the daytime the sides of the houses are
slipped out, as side scenes are, and the
house becomes only a roof resting on the
four light corner posts, the whole inter
ior being thns opened to the air. Every
part of the house is thus exposed to view,
and every thing done in it can be seen,
while behind it appear the charming
verdure, the cascades and the diminutive
plantations of the little gardens situated
in therear.—Linitcoppt’s.
MILLEDGE YILLE, GEORGIA, MAT 27, 1874.
NUMBER 41.
*he Highest City in the World.
Potosi, in Bolivia, S. A., is the high
est city in the world, being at an eleva<-
tion of 13,350 feet, considerably above
the level of the summits of many of the
Alpine mountain giants, and only 360
feet below the topmost peak of the icy
Jungfrau itself. This is a tolerably
lofty altitude for a city ; but then Po
tosi is the metropolis of the richest sil
ver mines in the world, which are work
edinthe neighboring Cerra (Sierra, or
high ridge) de Potosi. at an altitude of
16,000 feet above the sea level, a great
er height than the top of Mount Blanc;
so that the abundance of the precious
metals, we may suppose, compensated
the 30,000 inhabitants (about half of
whom are the native races) for the rarily
of the air, the rapid alternations of
climate, which presents the characteris
tics of the four seasons every twenty-
four hours, and the rugged barrenness of
the surrounding districts.

Atlanta Hard Up!
The Atlanta correspondent of the Au
gusta Chronicle writes: “It is said with
a great degree of probability that several
failures will occur in this city before a
great while among young merchants.
Money is very scarce, and it is believed
that the business community is more crit
ically situated than it was during the
financial crisis last Ml. This stringency
in the money market is said to be oc
casioned by the sadden advance in cotton.
Parties are withholding their cotton with
the expectation of realizing an enormous
profit, and thereby stagnating the money
market. One bank in this city, it is said,
has invested one hundred thousand dol
lars in cotton, and is patiently waiting
for it to advance to a higher figure. An
other cause of the scarcity of money is said
to be the constant demand of the State
on the banks for money to pay the inter
est on maturing bonds.”
Parents’ Paradise.
We were much impressed lately by
the orderly behavior of a large family of
children, particularly at the table. We
spoke of it to our host; and he pointed to
a paper pinned to the wall, ou which were
written some excellent rules. He said
he gave each child who obeyed those
rules some reward at the end of every
month. We begged a copy for the bene
fit of our readers. They were called
Rules and Regulations for Parents'
Paradise.
1. Shut every door after you, and with
out slamming it.
2. Never shout, jump or run in the
house.
3. Never call to persons up stairs, or in
the next room; if you wish to speak to
them, go quietly where they are.
4. Always speak kindly and politely to
the servants if you would have them do
the same to you.
5. When told to do, or not to do a
thing, by either parent, never ask why
you should or should not do it.
6. Tell of your own faults and misdo
ings, not of those of your brothers and
sisters.
7. Carefully clean the mud or snow
off your boots before entering the house.
8. Be prompt at even,- meal hour.
9. Never sit down at the table, or in
the parlor, with dirty hands or tumbled
hair.
10. Never interrupt any conversation,
but wait patiently your turn to speak.
11. Never reserve your good manners
for company, but be equally polite at
home and abroad.
12. Let your first, last, and best confi
dent be your mother.— Oliver Optic’s

Simple Remedies.
Fort Coens on the Feet.—-‘What can’t
be cured must be endured,” and corns are
generally, considered as coming under
this head, notwithstanding the numerous
remedies published. But corns are some
times cured—at last temporarily, and
until the causes Vhich produced them in
the first place may reproduce them. We
told, sometime ago, bow a correspondent,
cured his corns by frequent wading in salt
water. Another simple remedy has prov
ed perfectly effectual in more than one
severe case. It is this : Bind securely up
on the affected part a very thin slice of
salted or pickled fat pork, renewing it
whenever it becomes dry and hard. It
may require several weeks to effect a cure
but the corns will finally entirely eeas* to
be troublesome. This remedy may not
be effectual in all cases, but it is worthy
of a trial.
On the day following his recent return
to Salt Lake City from an extensive tour
in Utah, Brigham Young made a speech
to his followers. To begin with, he ac
cused the Mormons of being too little in
earnest about building up Zion in their
midst, as was demonstrated by the stingy
manner in which they were in the habit of
flaaKnp out their tithings. What their
leaders wanted was more money. Wil
a reasonable amount of cash, he assuri
his hearers that he could buy up the Uni
ted States, Congress included. He could

The adventures of the lately captive
Arkansas Judges, as related by themselves
are quite thrilling as well as novel. They
seem to have passed from the custody of
their original captor, Capt. AY illiams, into
the more humane hands of a lieutenant.
That this officer heard of orders that they
should be assassinated seems positive,
though the evidence that any such order
was really given is doubtful. The come
dy of errors which ensued terminated
happily in the escape of the fugitive Jus
tices, one of whom is said to have “broke
for the woods” when he was nearest his
rescue, under the impression that he was
again in the hands of the Philistines.—
There seem to be no longer any doubt
that the captors of these Judges were
Baxter’s men. The officer responsible for
their custody is said to be “Brigadier.-
General Crawford" of the Baxter forces ;
his vigilance was lulled by making him
ingloriously drank. Having assembled,
after many perils, the Supreme Court of
the State has incidentally given a decision
in favor of Brooks.
What’s in a Name?—In one of Mr.
Motley’s scholarly addresses he mourns
over the fact that’a language was never
perfect until it was dead. If King Alfred
should come back to earth, for instance,
he would probably not understand a word
spoken in his kingdom. While a language
is growing there is no accounting for the
grotesque form which words will take.—
Pocket handkerchief, for instance, is an
absurd mass of syllables for a little thing
in common use. It began growing cen
turies ago. Kerchief is “couvrechef,” a
covering; then it began to be carried
in the tend, for obvious purposes, and at
last vras put in the pocket, gathering cum
bioaM to its name all the way.
How mweh more sensible to call it as the
French do, a “mouchoir,” a wiper ? The

Eaton, though a native of Connecticut
passed a considerable period of his earh
manhood in South Carolina, and has al
ways been an ultra. States Rights Demo
crat, after the model of John C. Calhoun
He has. for many years, been a leadei
unong his people and ever stood up for
principle, even in the darkest days. He
was opposed to the war and the uncon
stitational and usurpatory measures adop
ted duridg its progress. The conservative,
so-called, Democrats have frequently es
sayed to depose him from his leadership,
but always invariably failed to do so, such
was the magnetism of the man and his
powerful individualism and ability.
The Radical journals make wry feces
over this nomination, and the Tunes, of
New York, thus squirms:
There is some gratification in the dis
covery that Mr. Eaton, of Connecticut,
is a "true blue Democrat," for there has
been some doubt as to what constituted
the genuine article. It is now determined,
on the authority of the ‘‘organ” of the
party, that to be “true blue” it is neces
sary to have violently opposed the Govern
ment in its efforts to put down rebellion,
and to profess the most extreme dogmas
of State rights, wliicb, put in practice,
would instantly subvert our whole Govern
mental system. All the noise Mr. Eaton
has ever made in the world has been in
this way. He is, in fact, rewarded and
applauded by the Democracy for having
been daring the war a bitter opponent of
the Government of his country, and for
being always a practical secessionist in
his political faith. By Republican jour
nals he is commended for holding “con
victions” which he “is not afraid to main
tain against the passions of the hour”—
the desire to preserve the Union being
manifestly the “passion of the hour” re
ferred to. Decidedly the "new era ’ has
opened, and shortly it will be as much as
a man’s reputation is worth to have it
said of him that he was a “Union man” V8B AMSUCAV

While a noted .Southern politician has

Connecticut Democrats have nominated

who never failed to characterize the war
against this section as an atrocious act,
and who has, since 1855, been unflagging
in opposition to the whole Radical pro

LOSS OF LIFE GREATER THAN
ANTICIPATED.
Seven Millions of Properly Swept Away.
—Criminal Neglect of Examiners.—
Graphic Description of the Scene.
[By Telegraph to the Constitution.!
Spbjngfield, Mass, May 17.—The
Williamsburg reservoir which gave way
yesterday morning, precipitated the vast
mass of water it contained 3 miles down
the step and narrow valley into the thriv
ing manufacturing -village of Williams
burg and thence further down the valley
through the villages of Haydenville,
Leeds and Florence, into Northampton
Meadows. The stream empties into the
Connecticut river. The huge torrent
dashing into Williamsburg with resistless
power, swept away in a moment the
manufacturing establishment and a num
ber of dwellings causing enormous destruc
tion of property and terrible loss of
human life. The lower villages suffered
only less awfully. The latest figures of
the loss of life, make a total of one
hundred and forty four, divided as fol
lows between the three places, Williams
burg, 60; Leeds 49; Haydenville, 35.
These figures only represent persons
whose loss is positively known, though
bodies are constantly being found, and
in some cases those of persons who were
not supposed to be lost, so that it seems
perfectly safe to say that the total loss
of life will exceed 150, if, indeed, it does
not more nearly approach 200. It is
impossible yet to give a detailed esti
mate of the losses. Aside from the
buildings destroyed and damaged, brid
ges have been earned away, roads rained
and hundreds of acres of meadow land
rendered almost valueless. Tho total loss
must far exceed a million dollars, and
will probably come near two million.
It appears that serious doubts as to
the safety of the reservoir have been en
tertained ever since it was built, nine
yeais ago, though less the !art year or
two than in its earlier history. The gate
keeper has several times expressed fears
to liis employers, calling special attention
to the point where the break occurred,
but the examiners always reported every
thing safe.
Washington, May 18.—The details of
the flood are most heart-rending. It is
feared that many Canadians, who recently
arrived to work in the factories, have
been lost. A watchman discovered the
danger and rode down the valley, making
three miles in fifteen minues, shouting the
alarm. Here a milkman, with a fleet horse,
dashed ahead of the. flood some two min
utes. He beat it in crossing a bridge
scarcely twenty seconds, and speeding
on screamed “The reservoir is coming.”
This heroic milkman saved hundreds of
persons, who fled their homes and break
fast for the slopes. The flood rushed by,
carrying human beings, houses, great
iron boilers, huge trees, cows, horses, poul
try, pianos and bird cages upon its crest
Springfield, Mass, May 18.—All ac
counts attribute the disaster of the flood
to the weakness and insecurity of the re
servoir works. The walls were not thick
enough to resist the pressure of 125 acres
of water averaging 30 feet in depth.
Boston, May 18.—A later dispatch
says 120 lives were lost, and upwards of
seven million dollars in property have
been swept away by the*flood.
A Huge Skeleton.
A writer in the Popular Science Month
ly says: “The most remarkable object
in the Warren museum is the largest
skeleton of the Mastodon giganteus ever
discovered on the continent. By its side,
in way of contrast, is the frame of the
elephant Pizarro, the largest ever
brought to this country. The skeleton
of the Mastodon giganteus will not fail
to cause the visitor to start back in awe,
and he will be hardly able to suppress
that adjective of fools, impossible!’ It is
twelve feet high and thirty-four feet in
length from the tips of the tusks to the
extremity of its tail. Its trunk is seven
