Caesar and Bis Fortune Again.
The Washington correspondent of the
New York Herald sees numerous signs
of the coming Caesar in all of Grant’s
movements. In all of his appointments
to office lie sees him making provision for
his nomination for a third term. His ve^
to of the lato finance bill of the Senate not
only bound to him the money changers
and bankers of the cast with hooks of
gold, but it also killed off some trouble
some aspirants for the Presidency from
the West. In short the very atmosphere
of AYashington is filled and heavy with
portents of a desperate straggle for
nomination for a tliird term, and a third
term means an emperor—nothing else.
Here is an extract from the Herald’s
correspondent:
Whatever there was of mystery in the
veto of the late Senate Currency bill is
solved in the important revelation that
General Grant is a candidate for another
Presidential term, all reports to the con-
rary notwithstanding. Wc have the in
ormation from a trustworthy source that
ill his nominations of any consequence
md all his confidential conferences with
Senators are directed to the Republican
^residential nomination of 1876 ; that the
eto was a flank movement upon Morton
nd Logan and their inflation partyof the
Vest and South ; that Morton realizes the
ict that the veto has killed him as a
’residential aspirant, and tliat if he lias
ot for a week or more gone to the Capi-
>1 it is because he is arranging his plans
> “head off’ Gen. Grant, as John Minor
otts in his day headed oft’ Captain Tyler.
3 ctween Morton and Logan we may look
1 <r a new party plan of operations, South
r id West which will split the Republican
I irty into fragments and leave Gen eml
Grant with only the support of the Easts
c m contractionists and the money leaders
II support him for the succession.
All the political mysteries at Washing.,
ton, connected with the movements of the
a iministration And the Republican lead-
e/s in Congress, are cleared up with the
s mple announcement of the fact that
C eneral Grant is a candidate for another
I residential term. Apply this touchstone
to any otherwise inexplicable proceeding
a j the Capitol or the White House, and
we see at once what it means. It is even
said that General Grant permitted New
Hampshire and Connecticut to be lost to
the Republicans in the recent elections
in order to impress the all important fact
upon the party that it can do nothing
without him. The people of the country
nay be assured that General Grant is
risolved upon another term, and they
i ill liave a landmark from which they
i my at any time discover the healings of
; oy political movement in any part of the
< wintry—it is for or against General
< crant.
Col. C. A. Butting for Congress.
AA*e invite the attention of our readers
• d a communication signed “Putnam,”
3 hich will be found in our present issue.
A.’e believe that “Putnam” speaks the
r ntiment of a very large number of the
citizens of Georgia, when he says we
L ave had too many lawyers in our legisla-
t ve halls, and too many laws unless they
are better. Bad laws promote litigation,
a id in that respect benefit lawyers. Like
‘-Putnam,” we have no prejudice against
L ■gyors, but we believe it is best to send
a few sharp business men to Congress to
w ateh the lawyers and see that they don't
legislate altogether for the benefit of
their own profession. The past week we
have had reliable information from Jones,
Jasper and Butts counties, and we hear
that the suggestion of running Air. Nut
ting for Congress, meets with general
approbation; and we believe he will be a
strong candidate. AYc expect to support
ft r Congress whoever the Democracy of
t; is District shall see fit to nominate, if
h ; is a respectable man. But until the
n unination is made, it is light and proper
f< r all of the electors in the District to
d 3cuss and canvass through the press
tl e merits of all aspirants to that office,
8< that when our District Convention
s all meet they may have some criterion
Vo which to judge of the wishes of the
pt ople. From all that we can learn from
va ions parts of the District, we be-
li; rc many of the people are amyous to
tr a business man in Congress, or at
ler st some one besides a lawyer, if it is
oi. y for the novelty of the thing. AA’e
be eve Air. Nutting will suit them exact
ly ad wo hope lie will be nominated.

man, is a man of the people and knows
what the people want. He has been en
gaged in various kinds of business, and
has been successful in everything he lias
undertaken. The people want a man
that understands their intern ts and can
sympathise with them. AVliat does a law
yer know or care about farmers, mer
chants or mechanics ? Comparatively
nothing. I have no prejhdice against
lawyers—they are good in their place,
and it is, as you say, very well to have a
few good lawyers in Congress and in the
Legislature, but it is perfectly absurd to
send nothing but lawyers to legislate for
all classes of people. AYc want men of
good sound sense in Congress and in our
State legislature ; we want business men.
and above all we want honest men. Mr.
Nutting fills all of these requirements
much better than a fourth or fifth rate
lawyer. I understand the whole of oiu
present delegation in both houses are
lawyers, and what have they dono, or tried
to do, for the great mass of tho people?
Nothing, positively nothing. I go, M:
Editor, for trying a business man, and
tliiak my neighbors agree with me. AVe

The AVhite House AVeddino.—The
AYashington correspondent of the Atlanta
Herald, speaking of the marriage of Miss
Nellie Grant, which took place at the
White'House on Thursday, says: “Nellie
is a modest, unassuming and pretty girl
of about eighteen. Sartoris is a “bloody
Henglishman" of twentyrtwo; strong,
stout and ruddy, parts his hair in the
middle, but otherwise is an extremely
clever fellow, who plants himself squarely
on Republican institutions and Southern
heroism. He is intensely enthusiastic
over everything Southern, and don’t hew
itate to say be was for the C. S. A. during
the “late unpleasantness.”
The Democrats in Kentucky and other
States are beginning to organize for the
Fall campaign. The Radicals have com*-
menced work in Georgia. Is it not time
that tho Democracy of this State was
moving in such an important matter. Our
candidates should be in the field by the
first of July, in order that a thorough
canvass may be made and the people in
every county full aroused to the impor*.
tanee of the contest.—Macon Star.
On Monday of last week the House
of Representatives passed a resolution
which is, according to the correspondent
of the Couriers J onmal, anything but
pleasant reading to the rich men of the
Eastern States, who, some years ago, con
trived to sneak out of their share of in
ternal revenue taxation. The resolution
provided that in case any increase of
taxation should become necessary, there
should be be levied an income tax on per
sons and corporations. There was an
earnest resistance to this by New Eng^
land, but the South and AA T est put it
though by a yea and nay vote of one hun
dred and twenty-six to sixty two. Ohio,
Kentucky, Missouri, and the Northwest
generally, voted aye. Ben. Butler and
Hicster Clymer, of Pennsylvania; Frye,
of Maine, and AYillard, of Vermont,
though from the East, liad the pluck to
vote aye. The vote is significant of the
fact that the West and South are tired of
bearing nearly the entire burden of taxa
tion, and is the response to the currency
veto of Grant's, over which the East has
been rejoicing.
Still Disscussin? Civil Bights
AVashington, May 22.—Tho Senate is
still discussing the civil rights bill. No
vote will be reached. Merrimon has
just taken the floor for a three hours
speech, and gave notice after he had
finished, if a majority persisted in sitting
it out, the minority would see who could
sit longest. Speeches liave been made
by Howe, Boutwcll, Pfea.se and Alcorn in
favor of the bill, and Stockton, Cooper,
Saulsburv, Kelly and Merrimon against
it.
A ebtJ Unanimous.—In giving the pro-
cee ings of the Press Association, which
me. in Alacon last week, the Telegraph &
Me senger made the following important
am. Duneement:
Col. H. H. Jones, on the part of the
Mayor and others, invited the Association
t) cine in a body at the Brown House at
1 alf past two o’clock. The invitation was
accepted without a dissenting voice. •

Death of Mrs. McKee.
Y e see in the “Union and American”
of I ashvillc, Tenn., a notice of the death
of t le wife of John Aliller McKee, one of
1 he iditors of that paper.
I ow well we remember the little girl,
“K te Havely” with her large blue eyes,
her juick intelligence, her rapid progress
in 1 lowledge, as a school pupil! Then
as t ie handsome bride of the young Ed-
.itoi McKee! Then as the young and
nol e mother! And last summer, in the
ore d coming of cholera in Nashville, as
the reroic a’id devoted Matron ! As the
unc ranted, who braved death to do her
dut -!
a ie has passed on to the better land,
and her true and tender husband, her

The Civil Bights Infamy Passes the
Senate.
AA’akiiington, May 23.—The civil righls
bill passed this morning at half past seven
by a strict party vote—45 Senators were
present. The vote on the bill was, yeas:
Alcorn (Miss.,) Allison (Iowa,) Boutwcll
(Mass.,) Buckingham (Conn.), Conklin
(N. Y.), Edmunds (Vt.), Flanagan (Texas)
Frelinghuysen (N. J,) Hamlin (Ale.,) Har
voy (Ivan.,) Howe (AYisconsin,) Ingalls

Morton, Cameron, Hitchcock, Chand
ler, Ferry (Mich.,) Sherman and Logan,
who would have voted for the bill, were
pairing with Stevenson, Thurman, Tip-
ton, Bayard, Dennis, Goldthwaite and
Gordon, who would have voted against
it.
Carpenter (Rad.,) of AVisconsin, upon
the final vote was among the nays. His
point was that the Federal government
had no right to interfere with State ju
ries, any more than State Legislatures.
Carpenter swallowed the bill in other re
spects.
Tarty Organization.
Hon. Thos. Hardeman, Jr., signing
himself “Chairman of the Democratic Ex
ecutive Committee," has published a card
in which he states:
“Desiring above all things, unity of ac
tion by the Democrats of Georgia in our
approaching elections, and knowing the
great importance of harmony in our
ranks, I have determined, with a view to
these desirable ends, to call the Execu
tive Committee of the party on the first
AVednesday in July, in Atlanta, for con
sultation. Until then it is desired that
no action looking to the nomination of
candidates will be taken bjr the party. ”
Two questions arise in connection with
this matter. The first is, has Georgia
any Democratic Bxecutive Committee
with authority to bind the party by its
action during the coming campaign? If
we are not very much in error, Execu
tive Committees only hold office from one
general election until another. The pres
ent committee has been in office since
1872, and, if we are correct, there should
be a new organization of the party this
Summer. In the second place, if nomi
nations for Congress are delayed until
after the meeting of the committee they
cannot be made until some time in Au
gust, which wonld not give the candi
dates time to go into the different coun
ties of their districts before the election.
The fight this Fall promises to be a hard
one, and it will not do to postpone for so
long a time the work of preparing for the
struggle.—ChronicU k Sentinel.
Macon, May 22d, 1874.
We reached this city on the comforta
ble M. & A. R. R., last evening, that
Prince of Conductors, Frank Burnett,
being commander-in-chief The train
reaches Macon some time before sunset,
giving us fall opportunity to test the
stifling tendencies of the dense clouds of
dust the drays are in the habit of getting
up in powerful rivalry will, similar do
monstrations that nature makes when
hurricanes drive across the desert sands
of the Great Zahara.
Maoon is dull in trade, compared with
its Autumn and AVinter appearance; still,
there was some stir as has been hinted at.
And we confidently predict for Macon r
great future destiny. Her direct jMitli-
way to Cincinnati and Louisville, through
Knoxville, Tenn., will yet be achieved,
notwithstanding the rocent discouraging
vote of her people on the railway ques
tion. AVhen that connection shall be
made, and Macon shall cease to lie a
“way-station” on Wadley’s petty system
of railroads, then the greatness of this
live young city will truly dawn.
Reaching here last evening, we expected
to have the pleasure of healing the second
lecture of the celebrated Mrs. AA'cstmore
land, author of “Heart-Hungry,” &o., who
lectured here on the evening of the 21st.
She did not give the innppreeiativc pub
lie a second lecture, her audierc i the
evening before having been so “select’
that the number was rather discouraging.
Onr Southern people are scarcely prepar
ed yet to see our Southland’s literary cele
brities torn out public lecturers. AA T e hear
a rumor that the accomplished and beau
tiful author of “Heart-Hungry” will soon
devote her attention to histrionic art,
having her arrangements perfected for
going on the stage.
Since we are on a “bender” of literary
gossip, we may as well say that we hear,
since coming to the city, that “Clnquiti,”
the beautiful young author of “Autumn
Dreams," has in preparation a novel
which is expected to portray much of
her own romantic life-experience. From
recent widowhood, she lias again been
ensnared in the net-matrimonial: and
from Mrs. Castlen, she has been trans
formed to Mrs. Sturm, and to happiness
once more.
Macon is again blest with two daily
newspapers. The Griffin Star has moved
Sonth-Eastwardly, and now sheds its
light as “The Morning Star’’ in Macon.
Wc saw a copy of it for the first time
last evening. Mr. Burr, the talented ed
itor of the old “Messenger” is on the
Star's editorial staff. The old “Tele
graph and Messenger" still maintains its
ancient renown; and both of these “city”
journals occasionally condescend to peep
into such “village” newspapers as happen
to attract attention, and summarize there
from the local news, occasionally, even
from the “Union & Recorder.”
We explored the elegant Court-House
of Macon, and mnst say that for space,
mode of arrangement. Ac., &c., it is an
admirable building. The Superior Court
was in session. We dropped in, “spee-
tatorically,” a few moments, rocciving
courtesies from Col. Harris, son of our
honored fellow citizen of Milledgeville,
Hon. I. L. Harris. Judge Hill was on
the Bench. From remarks he was mak
ing, we should infer that he grasps the
judicial authority with a firm and impar-
" "land; and that his vigorous discip
line to promote the despatch of public
business required punctuality from law
yers and other officers of his Court, as
well as from parties and witnesses. Judge
Hill’s venerable appearance ; his white
hair, intellectual expression of face, his
physique inclining to embonpoint, brought
to mind our old ideal of an English Chief
Justice or Lord Chancellor. AYe under
stand Judge Hill gives eminent satisfac
tion to the public by his jnanner of dis
charging his judicial duties.
We fell into conversation to day with a
gentleman residing in this city who spent
many years in the farther AYest—-a por
tion of the time in the Sandwich Islands
He spoke of the former King Kamme-
hammeha IV, whoso widow, Queen Em
ma, aspifed to the Hiwaiian throne at the
interregnum of last February. Onr read
ers will remember that a general election
was held throughout the Kingdom,
Queen Emma aud Prince Kalakaua being
the rival aspirants. The result was the
election of Kalakaua by a large majority.
Our informant explained that Kalakaua
is a native of the full blood, while Queen
Emma is a Connecticut lady of genuine
Yankee birth, being the daughter of an
American Missionary to the benighted
Islanders, who accumulated immense pos
sessions of lands and other valuables of
earthly dross. The election of Kalakaua
revealed the lingering attachment for na
tive blood among these now enlightened
Islanders. AYe believe, too, that the
Salic law is in force there as applicable to
the succession—an indigenous Salic Law
of these barbarians of old, excluding fe
males from thehighestpowerinthe King
dom. Queen Emma is represented as a
handsome widow of “middle age,” with
fair complexion, blue eyes, and immense
wealth. AVe commend a voyage to the
Sandwich Islands to some of our bache
lor or widower friends who may suffer
from failing health.
AVe had also the pleasure to day to meet
with Mr. P. C. Hyman, formerly of San
dersville, who is visiting his relatives in
Georgia after 20 years of absence in Cali
fornia and Nevada. His conversation
respecting Nevada was extremely inter
esting. The chief wealth of that region is
its silver mines, which yield immense
profits to mining operations. Mr. Hy
man’s home is in Carson City, whither he
will return after a brief sojourn in Geor
gia. He is now Lieut. Governor of Ne
vada.
We interviewed here, to day, the suc
cessful photographer, T. E. Blackshear
on Cotton Avenue, late partner of AY. T.
Brown, the accomplished Artist who has
opened a photograph gallery in Milledge-
ville. His specimens, like Mr. Brown’s
now visible in our home-city, evkice great
artistic skill.
To-night we are “homeward-bound’
joyfully leaving behind the greater city,
the mightier dust, tho noisier “attrac
tions” of Macon. AV. G. M.

day morning.
The Fort Valley Mirror says: “Thors*,
dav we saw on the street eight or ten
lean, ragged, half-starved negroes all the
way from Coldwater river, Mississippi,
in an ox wagon. One of the party told
ns that they were hired by an emigrant
agent last year and carried off under
promises of good homos, remunerative
wages and prompt payment of the same.
After getting them out there, he refused
to pay them or furnish them with provi
sions, and they were forced to do jobs
about for other farmers to get something
to subsist upon. They left Mississippi
January 15, and arrived at this place
May 14, being on the road four months.
One of them said to us “There is no place
like sweet home, and we intend to live
and die in Georgia.”
The Fort Valley Mirror says: The
farmers have liad delightful weather for
farm work during the last ten days, and
they are poshing with a vim. The warm
weather lias revived the sickly cotton
plant wonderfully, and ail that is necessa
ry to make it grow off rapidly is a re
freshing shower of rain. Com is looking
pretty well. We liave seen several fields
that had the appearance of being lnxn
riant ami thrifty. AVe do not hear at
much complaint about rust in wheat and
oats as a few weeks ago and we have
settled npon the conclusion that these
crops will be better than many anticipas
ted. Chopping cotton is the order of the
day, and very few farmers visit the town
only on Saturdays. A great deal of
young fruit is dropping off and suppose
it attributable to the dry weather after
so much rain.
The Sumter Republican gives this de
scription of a jewel:
Among the many visitors who came to
our city on last Saturday, to sell their
country produce, was a young lady from
an adjoining county, who had chickens,
eggs and butter for sale. Her beauty was
of transcendent excellence. Bright, flash
ing, intellectual eyes, and face round and
rosy, while her calico dress was plain and
neatly made, fitted beautifully. Her rich
black hair flowed in luxuriant richness
Highly educated, she conversed fluently
and deported herself with becoming modes
ty. She wore no false bustle or pubobased
complexion; had no top knot on her head,
or false fixings to present, but stood in
in the majestic beauty of a created intelli
gence that would not yield to the despot
ic dictates of frivolous fashion. It has
been a long time since we gazed npon each
a sight The yonng men crowded around
her wagon with curiosity in their eyes and
admiration in their hearts. The old men
wept for joy that there was one who had
not bowed to Baal. She sold her coun
try produce, went home milked the cows
cooked supper for ten farm laborers, and
went to church that night with her sweet
heart
At a revival in Montgomery county re
cently a young convert forgave all his ene

A dog scratched up the body of

An Important Discovery.—It is an
nounced that a vast deposit, many miles
in extent, of a sort of mineral charcoal,
has been found in West Virginia. It has
been named Graharaite, and is evidently
carbonized wood, containing even more
hydrogen than any kind* of coal or as-
phaltnm hitherto discovered, the propor
tion, by a singular coincidence, being ex
actly the same as is contained in the most
perfect poplar coal. A Pennsylvania
powder mill is now using it with the
most satisfactory results.
Senator Ferry, of Connecticut, whose
term of office expires March 4, 1879, has
gone to his home in Norwalk, and his
friends give up all hope of his ever being
able again to lake his seat in the Senate.
His spine is hopelessly diseased. He
was last elected by a combination of
Democrats and Radical bolters from the
cancus that nominated General Hawley,
and, it is said, under a understanding to
act with the liberal Republicans. After
the manner of his sort, however, he coolly
went back on his promise, and took his
place again in the trooty loyl ranks.

It is generally conceded by the planters
of AA'ashington county that the crop is
an unusually poor one.
The crops of Telfair and Dodge are all
looking well. The farmers are energetic
and thrifty, and are nearly up with their
work, notwithstanding the weather.
An infant boy of Mr. John T. Brown
of Dooly, was choked to death one day
last week with a ground pea hull. The

fastened in his wind pipe and he died in a
few hours.

Louisville, May 23.—In the Conference
of the Methodist Episcopal Church South
to-day, the minority report on temper
ance, which provides as an enactment to
the general rules, that any person making,
buying, selling or using as a beverage,
intoxicating liquor will be, upon convics
tion, debarred from membership in the
church, was adopted by a vote of 335.—
The question caused a very animated and
prolonged discussion. Tnis action will
lie sent to the annual conference, and if
three fourth concur therewith, it will pass
into a law.
Her Wedding Dress.
A AYashington correspondent of the
Courier-Journal, who saw Miss Nelly
Grant’s wedding dress before the import
ant day arrived, describes it as of satin
and only such satin as princesses could
afford to wear. The two point lace
flounces that cover the skirt were select
ed from the looms of Brussels, and are
the finest and most costly that could be
procured. The dress has a train three
yards long, with a box-plaited flounce
around the bottom. At the edge of the
flounce is a quilling of white tulle. Both
of the lace flounces go across the front
breadth of the dress and pass up the
back of the train as high as the waist,
the two edges meeting in the middle of
the skirt. This forms, as it were, side
trimmings. Tire flounces are headed by
wreaths of orange flowers which at reg
ular distances, merge into bouquets.
They are the finest wax flowers, and a
tiny orange is in the center of each bou
quet. The flowers, are laid down the
back of the skirt where the point-lace
flounces meet- On the satin flounce in
the space between every box-plait there
are loops and ends of white satin. There
are two waists to this as well as all the
other evening or dinner dresses. Both
the low-neck and high-neck waists are
trimmed with lace and flounces to mifW 1
the skirt. The veil is of illusion.
She Trineess Married.
AVashington, May 21.—The wedding
of Miss Nellie Grant and
took place at the AVliite H
ning at eleven o’clock.
Long before the hour
of curious people gathered in
cinity, but every entrance to the White
House grounds was guarded by police
men, and no persons were admitted who
could not show a ticket of invitation.
This was a very wise precaution, as other
wise the Executive mansion would have
been literally besieged, and it lias been
the object of the President's family to
render the wedding as private as possible,
carefully avoiding everything that would
give it tin official character.
Among the distinguished guests were
Secretary and Mrs. Borie, A. J. Durell
G. AA T . and Mrs. Childs, Mrs. Hooy
AV. E. Dodge, A. T. Steward Judge Piei
repoint, Mr. B. Murphy and family an>
many others.
Among the friends of Mr. Sartori
present were' several members of th
Marine Corps, including Messrs. Allet
and Alase.
The representatives of the army, navj
and marine corps were in full uni*-
form.
The Marine Band was stationed in the
vestibule and furnished appropriate
music, including, of course, the Wedding
March.
The AVhite House was beautifully
decorated for the occasion. In the east
room, in which the ceremony took place,
was a profusion of flowers and rich devi
ces.
At about eleven o'cloek tho bridal
party entered the east room by the main
entrance and took their stations on the
platform. The bridesmaids were eight in
number—Misses Fish, Barnes, Freling
huysen, Dent. Porter, and DrexeL There
were no groomsmen, as the wedding was
conducted in the English style, but
Lieut F. A. Dent officiated as best-man.
The ceremony was performed by Dr.
O. F. Tiffany of the Metropolitan Method
ist Church.
Th? presents were very numerous, and
some of them very costly. They were
displayed in the library and private
apartments of the family.
Immediately after the ceremony the
party partook of a wedding breakfast.
The couple, accompanied by a
friends, afterwards repaired to the d
of the Baltimore and Potomac Railroad,
and left for New York in a special Pull,
man car provided for the occasion.
It is understood the President and
family will go to New York to-morrow
to take a final leave of Mr. and Mrs.
Sartoris, who accompained by Secretary
Richardson with his daughter,- are to
sail for Europe in the Baltic on Saturday
next.

From a gentleman recently arrived
from AYynn’s Island Bceuf river, we hear
the most pitiable stories of the condition
of a large portion of North Tjoniautna
Ho tells us that Wynn's Island, which is
from ten to twenty miles wide, aud about
sixty miles long, is utterly submerged
and without a foot of tillable soil Mr
Joel R. AYynn’s plantation occupies the
highest ground on the island, and the
water is ten feet deep in hia dwelling.
The heavy rains have done most of the
damage, causing the levee to break at
Monroa and the Ouachita to overflow its
banks. In ALt-lison and Tensas par
ishes the overflow has been so general
and so sweeping that nearly all the stock
has been drowned, and the stench arising
from the floating carcasses is almost
unbearable.

New York, May 21.—A Times special
from Northampton says that the fourth
Vffat since the Mill River calamity was
mt by the survivors in safety and com
,tive comfort, the sufferers being
_.used by hospitable neighbors. The
committees have received for relief from
various societies the sum of $6,891. This
fulls far below what is needed, as there
are 1,200 destitute and homeless people
to feed and clothe. The committee says
that $10,000 is needed for immediate use.
Yesterday 1,500 men from different places
came to work in the valley, and daring
the day nine more bodies were recovered
at Leeds, and in the meadows near it.
Gangs are clearing off the debris at Hay-
ienville. The hands continue their efforts
together.
Joel Hayden had an engineer on tho
ground actively mapping out the new
oundry and shops at AYilliamsburg. The

The Macon (Ga.) correspondent of the
Louisville Courier Journal takes Colonel
Lee Jordan, the largest planter in this j
State, as an example of the evils of ex
elusive cotton culture and shows, by his |
own admission, that, though raising from J
two to three thousand bales every year
since the war, he has not saved a dollar
by the operation. Every cent realized
was needed to pay hands, buy provisions
and run the plantation generally. The ! _
significant and encouraging fact is added ’
that Colonel Jordan has gone back to rpnK proprietor having completed

Jute and.the Caterpillar.—The jnte
plant is said to be death to the cotton
worm. On this point we have the experi
ence of Mr. Emile Lefranc, who assures
ns that neither flies nor butterflies ever
stop in the jute plant. It appears the
plant gives an odor which drives them"
away, and the consequence is that no
caterpillar will appear on the plantation
where jute has grown. Desiring to verity
this important and valuable discovery, the
“Ramie Planting Association ’ last season
planted three several different fields of
cotton, and surrounded them with a jnte
growth belt No leaf, no flower, no boll
was destroyed. The fields were entirely
free from the caterpillar, while other cot
ton fields on adjacent plantations were
invaded by the voracious insects. This
statement has been verified by many ’ gii I ask U a trial, confident that com

American AYines.—In a speech made in
the House on the 7th inst., Mr. Luttrell,
of California, gave some interesting sta
tistics to prove that the Mine-producing
capabilities of California soil far exceed
those of the most favored wine-growing
countries of Europe. The wine crop of
Germany is about 50,000,000 gallons per
annum, which would make the average
yield 166 gallons to the acre. The crop
in France in 1869 was 2,000,000,00 gal
lons, on about 6,000,000 acres, which
would show an average yield of 330 gal
lons per acre. But tho average yield of
wine from tho California vineyards is 600
gallons to the acre, nearly twice as great
as the French average and more than
three times the German. Foreign wines
are generally esteemed superior to the
wines of this country, but the reason for
this opinion is rapidly passing away. The
best judges have pronounced the soil of
the Pacific slope equal, if not superior, to
the vineyards of France and the Rhine.—
Our grapes are considered good enough
to be taken to Europe to replace the vines
destroyed by the insects. The men prin
cipally engaged in the manufacture of
wine are foreigners who bring to their
work the same skill and experience which
employed beyond the Atlantic. We
may, perhaps, never be able to compete
with tlie fancy brands of European vines
yards, such as Chateau Y’quem and Jo-
iannisberg, but then we must recollect
that these wines are made in such limited
quantities that none of them can be ob
tained in this country, except from dealers
of known integrity. If we ever expect to
rid the United States of the reproach of
intemperance we must bring native wines
of good quality and low price into general
use. A good wine at twenty-five or fifty
cents a bottle will do more towards stop**
ring drunkenness than all the temperance
■ ecturers and praying women combined.

The New York Tribune says: If Mr.
Oakes Ames, deceased, had gone on maks
ing shovels, instead of meddling with
Mobilier, he might have been living now
and honored, and his estate ifiight have
been solvent, which, we regret, for the
sake of his creditors, it turns out not to be.
Commissioners have been appointed, and
the usual statement is made that, all in
good time, everybody will be paid in full.
This may or may not be, for the expense
of settling an insolvent estate is usually
very large, and too many of the Ames
assets are in Western and Southern bonds
and stocks, not very marketable now, and
exceedingly in want, so far as par is con
cerned, of higher quotation.
