It has attracted to itself our most brilliant writers in all departments. The leading statesmen and greate st gener als have gladly used its pages to express their views. The brightest novelists and most brilliant essayists have con tributed to its pages. It has called forth a class ol writers who would otherwise have found no place iu our period ical literature. It has accomplished ibis hy encouraging the expression of varying opinions by prominent thinkers In all departments. The Galaxy itself has never had any has been that for years the public have had liant purely literary magazine. Its marked success proves clearly that a high-toned literary magazine will be generously supported Tho public press have fully appreciated The Galaxy. Tho Press, of Philadelphia calls it “a model periodica*!, a credit to American periodical literature." Tne Journal of Boston says that “it quite eclipses tho tive periodicals of the day." Tho New York Times says that “there is not a dull page between its covers.” Tho Chicago Times says that “it crowds more downright good literature between its covers than any other American magazine. The Buff do Express says that “it is certainly the best of American magazines. The New Haven Regis ter pronounces it "about as near perfection as uuything says that "it well sustains its reputation for vi, racy writing." Tho Sunday-School Times says “ft is the richest of many monthlies which have given such an on. viable name to American magazine literature.” The New York Graphic says “it is more in accordance with the Bpirit aud feelings of the American public than any other magazine published” The New York Independent says that “it is more varied iu its range than any other.” Surely the editors and publishers of The Galaxy ought to feel proud of the success which has attended their efforts in establishing a first-class independent literary magazine For the coming year no efforts w ill be spared by either editor or publisher to make the Galaxy iu every way worthy of its great reputation. Indeed, they propose, if is possible, to m«ke it oven surpass itself. For a raagaziuo edited as Tho Galaxy is, with all the spirit and freshness of the daily press, and which always seizes the subjects of greatest interest to the public, it is nearly ini ossible to anuounce a lixed prcgauime for a year ahead. Some few of the leading features, however, may be stated. Tho Galaxy in 1877 expects to give its renders serial stories by that brilliant writer Justin Mc Carthy, aud Mrs. Annie Edwards,one of the brightest and fresh st novelists of our day. Also shorter i. tories by Henry James, Jr., Itebecea Harding Davis, Mrs. John Sherwood, Mrs, Lucy II. Hooper, Miss Rose Terry, Mrs. Jane G. Austin,George Cary Eglcstou, Edgar Fawcett,Nora Porry, and many others. 7 scries of State papers by Hon. Gideon Welles, late Secretary of the Navy, called tho “Lincoln Adminis tration," begun in the January number. Many of our loading statesmen will, during the y contribute articles on subjects of greatest public interest (which can not yet be definitely announced.) Richard Grant White will conclude his series of articles “On Reading Shakespeare,” to be followed by articles sug gested by his recent experience abroad. Essays on popular subjects may be expected by Charles Wyllys Elliott, S. G. Young, John Burroughs, Kato Hil lard, Fannie Roper Feudge, Prof. Boyesen, Dr. Coan, Ur. Guernsey, Rev. J. S. C. Abbott, It. B. Kimball, Grenville Murray. Albert Rhodes, uud many others. Poetry by Bayard Taylor,John G. Saxe,William Winter, Paul Hayne, G. F. Lathrop, Joaquin Miller, J. W. Deforest,uutl many others. The “Departments" which have given the Galaxy such enviable reputat’on will bo maintained during tin coming year with all their font or life and vigor. “Diift- wood," by Philip Quilibet, is always interesting. Tho “Scientific Miscellany’’ has always been one of tho most valuable features of ibis magazine. “Current Liter ature" aud tho “NebuliD" are always interesting.

FOR TUB MONTH OF MAY, 1877. Department op Agriculture, I Atlanta, Ua., Juno 15, 1877 j In consolidating tho reports for this month, the State has been divided iuto live sootious, with a view to exhibit more correctly tho condi tion of tho crops iu each, as influenced by dif ferent natural features of oliumto nnd elevation, nnd diverse meteorological conditions. This division is made, ilrst and mainly, with reference to geological formations aud elevation above tho sea level, modified, to sotno extent, by differences iu latitude, and also by natural diviaiou lines. Those diverse conditions have resulted in giving difl'ereut degroeH of promiuenoo to a given crop or indnstiy iu tho several sections of tho State. It is well known that in tho first section, em bracing tho counties of North Georgia, tho la bors of tho farmer are chiefly directed to the production of corn, wheat, oats, ryo, clover, and the grasses, and (comparatively) sorghum, Irish potatoos, aud apples. Tho second Section, Middle Georgia, pro duces, chiefly, cotton, corn, wheat-, oats, peaches, pears, grapes, etc. The third Section, Southwest Georgia, and tho fourth Section, East Georgia, arc very simi lar iu geological formation, aud in products also, both giving special attention to cotton, coru, aud oats, aud much less to wheat than iu Middlo or North Georgia, whilst sugar cane, and ground peas, aud chufas are important products. Tho fifth Section, Southeast Georgia, em braces tho coast or tide-water region, and covors the greater part of tho area devoted to rice and Sea Island Cotton, and is considered well adapted to sheep husbandry, aud unsuited to the production of wheat aud ryo, and tho fruits of tho more northerly sections. Hitherto tho condition of a particular crop iu a section producing it to a very limited extent, has had undue influence in arriving at the gen eral average for the State. This difficulty has been, to some extent, obviated, and the average condition in tho several sections is shown sep arately. This arrangement still leaves, as a problem of some difficulty, estimating the averages for the State at large, when the seasons, and other contingent circumstauoes, have been different in the different sections. This is owing to the want of reliable statistics of areas aud production in the severol counties. CORN. Owing maiuly to the oool, dry weather, the condition of this crop is reported at from two to 15 per cent, lower than average, being highest iu North Georgia, 98, and lowest in Middle Georgia, 85. The average of all sections is 91; the average for the State 1st Juue, 1877 was ICG. S.nce the 1st June good rains have fallen in mauy parts of the State, aud the prospect pro portionately improved. OATS. Average coudition of fall-sown oats, by sec tions, was 81—compared to average of the State 1st May, 8G. Their condition iu North and Middle Georgia was G2 aud G9 respectively, owing to the fact of maturing later, and being, therefore, more in jured by the May drought; aud also to the cir cumstance of greater injury from winter killing. In North and Middle Georgia, the preference is almost evenly balanced between tho winter graziug and yellow or red rust-proof, as to hard iness. In the other seetions, the Irwin rust proof has greatly the preference. All varieties have escaped rust, the injury lrom this source being less than two per cent. Spring-sown bear about the same comparison to an average crop, being reported at 80. f WHEAT Is reported considerably over an average iu those sections—North and Middlo Georgia— where it is most grown. The general average of the sections is 103, but the correct average, due allowance being made for the circumstances already alluded to, would be about 107, or seven per cent, better than an % average crop. Several reports of comparatively extraordinary yields have been received. One correspondent iu Randolph comity, reports yields, respectively, of 27 and 22 bushels per acre, aud an average for the county of 15 bushels ! This is a re markable result in a section of the State that has never been considered ns adapted to the production of wheat, and is due chiefly to the peculiarly favorable condition, as to moisture and temperature, which prevailed during May, and indicates the great importance of discover ing a rust-proof variety which shall make the crop more iudepeudeut of the3e favorable cir cumstances. Of the varieties distributed with the view to test their rust-proof character, correspondents generally repoit the Dallas as exempt from rust; one, however, says “not more so than others, and ten days later than blue-stem." A small quantity of a new variety—the Nicaragua was sent out, and the reports are unanimous that it is rust-proof. The season, however, has been very favorable for whrat, and tho test has not been very severe. The average injury from rust is reported at four per cent. cotton. The stand of cotton in North Georgia is far below an average, being only 46! A great part of the crop was planted just at tho beginning ol tho dry weather. In tho other sections the stand ; s 93 per cent of an average. The size of the plant is much below an aver age, but the fields are 4 free from grass, and the warm, growiug weather will soon make great improvements in the prospect. Cut worms have been very destructive to the young plants, nota bly in Lowndes nnd Macon counties, necessitat ing planting over a large part of the crop in Lowndes. SUGAR CANE, Is inferior, both as to stand and size; but it shows a better average in those sections where it is most grown. Where the stand is good, propitious seasons will easily overcome the drawbacks of the spring. MISCELLANEOUS. Sorghum is a little below the average in stand and condition. Ground peas and chufas, each 90; and melons 85. ORCHARDS. The peach prospect is 111—11 per cent, bet ter tha • an average. The attention of farmers is again directed to the importance of providing means for rapidly drying the surplus fruit. The reports show that the peaoh crop, iu the last ten years, has been destroyed by frost, in North Georgia, five times; in Middle Georgia, three times; in Southwest Georgia, two to three times; in East Georgia, five times; and in Southeast Georgia, three times. The apple and pear prospeots are inferior in North and Middle Georgia, where they are chiefly grown, and good in the three other seotions. potatoes. Isish potatoes are a little below an average. The planting of sweet potatoes has been much delayed by dry weather. This should not be. It is a good praotice to keep the ground intend ed for draws, always mellow, by frequent plow- ings, and sot the draws, when large enough, with or without rain—provided there is a moderate supply of well or branch water to be had. To plant—open holes with a dibble, or stick, insert the draw, pour in half pint of water and cover the wet with dry earth. No pressing is needed. Farmers, try this plan. BICE Is little below an averago in the State at large, bnt In the Southeastern section, where muoh the greater part of the crop is produoed, it is llvo per cent, better. BTOOK—BHKKP—DOGS. Tho number ol sheep killed by dogs in the last twelvo mouths was eight aud a half per cent, of tho wholo, and destroyed by disoaso and cold only five per oout. The value qf the sheep annually destroyed in Georgia is uot less than $70,000 1—sufficient to pay tho expenses of a Constitutional Conven tion, or a twenty-day session of tho Logislaturo. That amount of money would bo wisely ex pended if it should result iu tho passage of an effootual sheep-protcctivo dog-law. It costs no more to produce a pound qf toool than a pound qf cotton, and the wool sells for three times the price of cotton. Agoju, the one hundred thousand dogs iu Georgia consume and destroy food, oither already fit for human uso, or suitable lor feeding to productive animals, an amount which estimated in bacon, would supply, perhaps, fifty thousand laboring men! Perhaps one-fourth, or even one-half, of these dogs are tnoro or los» valuable aud profitable. The re mainder aro a curse aud a burden. Certainly theso considerations merit the caroful attention of our legislators. HOGS. Thero is an increase iu tho pork prospeot, compared with hint year, of six per cent. CI10I- ora has prevailed to but limited extent, destroy ing five per cent, of the stock. LABOR, SUPPLIES, ETC. Labor is very generally reported as equal to tho demand, and more efficient. Supplies good, aud farmers geneially in better condition than at any time since the war. On tho wholo, tho general coudition of tho farming iutorest iu Georgia is encouraging, and farmers aro gradu ally, but surely, attaining indepondenoe uud prosperity. Very respectfully, Tiiomas P. Janes, Commissioner of Agriculture. TIIK MIXTURE OF RATES. Fair play to tho freed men could not bo stretched, in principle, much beyond that shown by the white conservatives iu tho South Caro lina Assembly the other day. A bill was up piohibiting the intermarriage of races, under a severe penalty. The colored members of the House were against it uuauimously, and the whites instinctively for it. But the latter, after some skirmishing, withdrew their support from tho bill, nnd it tailed by au overwhelming ma jority. Thero was no mystery about this con cession. It was made for the sole purpose of satisfying tho colored section of tho Legis’ature and clenching it to the conservative side. Per haps there could be no better illustration of the wondrous chaugos which time and circum stances have wrought in South Carolina than that such au agreement should bo made. Free- dom lrom prejudice and obliteration of tho "color line” could no further go. If South Carolina can stand the cousequences of "misce genation”— which is forbidden by law iu some Southern States—it is uot for other communi ties to object to it. The result of these inter marriages will uot be seriously perceptible in the present generation of South Carolinians. The number of them, it may bo presumed, will not bo large iu any oue year. The natural barrier that keeps apart the two races is quite as high and strong as any that the law could erect. As tho so-called civil rights bills iu the North do not incite colored persons to mingle freely with whites at the hotels and theatres, so tho legalizing of marriages between the two colors would not as a matter of course, make such marriages common anywhere. The effect upon the complexion of the future inhabitants of South Carolina will probably be less striking than the friends of the defeated bill anticipate. Aud this effect, so fur as there is any, will be more injurious to the negroes than to the whites. The negro race takes not life, but death, from "miscegenation.” The negro iu his unadulterated state, is long lived, almost proof against climatic maladies, and prolific. The mulattoes aro not remarkable for longevity, are more liable to certain classes of disease than auy pure colored race, and in no respect hold their own iu the struggle for exist ence against either whites or blacks. Tho new relations of independence and self help, in which the negro is placed by the abolition of slavery, have not, on the whole, it is said, been favorable to tho spread and perpetuity of his race at the South. The shortest natural process for wiping the negro off the iace oi this coun try would probably be to encourage his inter marriage with tho whites.—N. Y. Journal of Commerce. We arc the citizens of a great country—of a glorious country, not to put too line a point upon it. We are free aud equal. The prerog atives of citizenship nnd tho fleetiug emolu ments of office appertain alike to the just and the unjust, to the white and the black. Previ ous condition has lost its previousness, and ser vitude has shaken itself loose from servility. The goddess of liberty, seizing tho extremes by the scruffs of their necks, filters them lovingly through her gentle fingers until they meet aud mingle in a manner and by a process startlingly suggestive of a patent. Therefore, this impro vised sifter has been found sufficient and satis factory, but it has failed iu the case of Flipper, and this fact leads us to hope that the patent will be amended. Flipper is an Atlanta youth—the only colored graduate that West Poiut ever gave to the coun try. He passed, it is said, a credital^e exami nation nnd came forth a second lieutenant of cavalry. This would be well enough if he had auy cavalry, but the sad fact stares the country iu the faoe that Flipper is entirely devoid of cavalry. He has not even one cavalry. As matters stand, he ought, to all intents and pifr- poses, be the captain-general of a fleet of rail road trains. The truth is, there is a diabolical attempt on the part of the Radicals to suppress Flipper. He has never even been bulletined, it is said, and Blaine, if we remember correctly, advises him to come home, grow up with the jimson weeds, and become a leader of his race. This is playing it rather low down on Flipper. Why should a second lieutenant oi cavalry lead his race? Would it not be better to advise him to oome home and keep up his knowledge of cav alry tactics by galloping and pranoing around on a broomstick horse? This would not only serve to keep his hand in, as the boys say, but will also amuse the ohildren.—Atlanta Constitu tion.

T IIE different editions of Thk Sun during the next year will be the same as during tho year that has just passed. Tho daily edition will on week days bo a sheet ot four pages, and on Sundays a sheet of eight pages, or 56 broad columns; while tho weekly edition will bo a sheet of eight pages of the same dimensions and character that are already fumiliar to our friends. The Sun will tie tho strenuous advocate oi reform ond retrenchment, and of the substitution of statesmanship, wisdom and integrity for hollow pretence, imbecility, and fraud iu tho administration of public afluirs. It will coutond for the government of tho peoplo by the people and for the people, as opposed to government by lrauds iu the ballot-box aud in the counting of votes, eniorced by military violence. It will endeavor to supply its read ers—a body now not far lrom a million souls—with tho most careful, complete, and trustworthy accounts of cur rent events, and will employ for this purpose a numer ous and carefully selected staff of reporters and corre spondents. Its reports from Washington, especially, will be full, uccurato, and fourloss; and it will doubtless con tinue to deserve and enjoy the hatred of those who thrive by plundering the Treasury or by usurping wliat the law does not give them, while it will endeavor to merit the confidence of tho public by defending tho rights of tho people against the encroachments of unjust ified power. The price of tho daily Sun will be 55 couts a month or SO.50 a year, post paid, or with the Sunduy edition •7.70 a year. Tho Sunday edition alone, eight pages, Si .20 a year, post paid. Tlio Weekly Sun, eight pages of 56 broad columusr will be furnished during 1877 ut tho rate of $1 a year, post paid. Tho benefit of this largo reduction from tho previous rate for tho Weekly cuu bo enjoyed by individual sub scribers without the necessity ol making up clubs. At 4 he same time, il any of our friends choose to aid in ex- ■nding our circulation, wc sliull be gratofulto them, and /cry such person who sends us ten or inoro subscrib- '8 from one placo will be entitled to one copy of the paper for himself without charge. At one dollar a year, postago paid, the expenses ol paper nnd printing are barely repaid; and, considering tho size of the sheet and the quality of its contents, we aro confident the peoplo will consider tho The Weekly Sun tho cheapest news paper published iu the world, uud wo trust ulso one of the very best.
