He is oae of the most successful farmers in Georgia; has given the subject a great deal of careful attention, and his views ere worth something. What bo knows of- fanning is not merely theoretical, but is pcastieal. He gives ideas of cnriohing the soil, preserving it froifl washing, and raising Meek, which cannot fail to be val uable to every farmer. First Baptists Rev.

Yesterday at nine o'clock the great crowd of negroes which had assembled there on Friday, to attend the trial of James Alexander, charged with the mur der of Hamp. Whitehead, negro, were promptly on hand. The court room wan even more densely crowded than on that occasion. Men, women and children, to the number of five or six hundred literal ly took possession of the house and sur roundings. By great persuasion and re monstrances from some of their own class, sufficient order was restored to com mence the trial. Justice Johnson seems to l>o patient under these difficulties, and lxnirs thorn with a martyr-like fortitude. IfKNBY ALEXANDER, for the defence, called. I am not related to the defendant in any way. Ain a rock workman. Live at or near West kiwi The corps came out in a wagon to the place where I work, near West End. Johnson was driving, who told me that Mr. Broomhcad said bury tho l>ody— carried it to the woods w’lierc there is a colored burying ground about 10$ o’clock. I hod commenced to dig the grave when Broomhcad came out and suid he met Johnson, the driver, and ordered him to teJtn the body back, as the coroner was waiting to hold iui inquest at the stockade or jail. Bioouiliead sug gested that they cut bushes and put over tho corpse, as the weather was hot. snd ho and witness cut shades and placed them over the box. The burying ground is on Thomas Alexander’s land, and six or eight colored people are buried there. It is a quarter of a mile beyond the in corporation line. It is a nice, quiet and shady place. Body was in a rough box 12x18 inches, and seven feet long. Hod seen people buried in that sort of a coffin frequently. l. a kino was called. Lives in the city, and is 24 yoars old. Is guard for the chain gang; has known prisoner since Christmas, who is a kiud of ovorseer or foreman in the yard. Tho day of tho difficulty ho was standing within fifteen feet of Alexander, when he told tho deceased to fire up the kiln, when he replied to the prisoner that it was too hot, and could not do it.— Prisoner then told him to bring wood for tho others. Ho wout to tho pile, aud stumbled, aud was told to got up; ho rose with a billet in his shoulder, and held it in a striking position. Prisoner caught him with his left baud, and struck him on the shoulder with his fist. Deceased staggered buck, and gathering Alexander said, “He would be damnod if he wasn’t a man too.” They grappled and fell to tho ground, Alexander on top. Saw Johnson take tho stiok out of tho ne gro’s hands, who staggered under a shed, and fell over somo window- frames which wero selling there —falling 7ctr >’ri8 n VlN nVheh ’ih'fc ITiS stockade by a negro and white man.— Did not see prisoner strike him at all with wood—could have done so it he had —was customary for the guards to go around. When tile deceased, fell over tbo window frames lie struck on his head and shoulders. Thisooourred be tween five and six o'clock Wednesday evening last. Nothing prevented prison er from shooting deceased if lie had wanted to. The cross examination by the State elicited notbiug of extra importance.— Did not think nccusod tried to hit any one with the pick. Deceased was taken by a white man and a negro and carried oat the stockade. Ho was struggling between them. Did not see any blood on the deceased. Couhl have seen it if there had bceu any. Johnson, the uegro and Alexander went into the stock- ado w ith him—could havelheard any loud talking, anoh us “kill me I send mo to hell,” or any excited remarks of that character—could havo heard it if deceas ed hod been whipped before that time— was about fifty yards from tho stockade. j. n. WHALEY was next called. First heard somo one swear an excited oath. Hu was working on,wall of new jail; first saw a man raise a stick with both hands, and saw prisoner take hold of him. Deceased jerked loose, and both full to the ground, aud saw prisoner hit him two or three blows in the face with his fist; saw Broomheod aud some one else take tho stick away from the deceased; it was tlirco or four feet long, and about as largo as his arm; saw tho uegro fall over tho window-frames, and hit on his head and shoulder; as he rose he picked up a pick, and threw it down, and pioked up another, and stag gered and fall. The white mau and ue gro then took him inside the stockade; never saw prisoner strike decease at all with stiok; where he was at work he oould not see all the difficulty. Canes-Examined—Don’t know what happened before he saw the first part of it. Prisoner was about twenty-five feet from dooenaed when he fell; never saw deceased strike at any one. WILLIAM COWAN was called; is a bricklayer, and lived in city for eighteen years. First which at tracted bis attention was loud talking, and saw the prisoner and deoeasod in a scuffle; the hitter caught hold of a post, and was jerked loose; both fell, and prisoner on top, and struck him two or three blows on the face; the deoeosed roso op, and kicked up a ■tick and staggered over the window frames, falling about six or eight feet on hia head and thonldere—then he go, np with something in liis hand, stambled and fell again, sad then after rising this time with a piece of lumber in his hand, tamed towards prisoner and remarked, “now shoot, G—ad—n you."

Don't think he had a stick at all The cross examination waa about the eithorby bloo.l or consanguinity; is in their employ ns boss of the brick kiln in the work yard; was there on Wednes day lost. Between 6 and 0 o’olock in the evening he said to tho prisoner: “Jim mie, it is timo you were firing np,” moaning that the supply of fael for the night should be then pat in. All hands went at it, and deceased Bays to prisoner, “ Captain, I can t stand it. its too hot.” Prisoner replied that, if he couhl uot stand the lire ut the kiln, to go and fetch wood for the fireman. He started and fell, but rose with a stick and came up into the prisoner’s face—who caught him by the collar with one hand and struck him with the other—both fell to the ground and in rising deceased said, “ I’m a man as well as you are, you God d—n rebel son of a b—h,” and rose with a stick. The two grappled and rolled under the abed out of his night. This was all he saw. Had been there oil day, aud knew it any diffi culty had taken place he would have known it Court then adjourned till 2 o’clock, M ' AFTERNOON session. On account of the crowd in the morn ing lacing so disrespectful and unruly, tho Court was held in the Superior Court Room. Tho usual crowd was present, hut the aid of the city inilicc hud been called, and a very perceptible chango in things was had. Officer Garrison, of the police, was particularly effieiont, and kept down the noisy tumult to a great extent. He w as assisted by various other mem bers of tho force. TIIOUAS W1UGBY was called. Ho was a stono cutler and kucw prisouer and deceased both. He saw tho difficulty—his shop was on tho opposite aide of the street about GO feet from tho scene. His testimony was in substance exactly that of the preceding witness, but that he heard deceased say that he (deceased) hud hod that woman before the surrender, and would defend her. Used bad oaths and threats, when he saw Alexander strike him with his fist. [The testimony which followed was very similar to the others.] In cross examination ho said that he was there till 6 o’clock aud no priaonor was whipped there that evening —parties could bo whipped during a few moments of his absence, but did not believe snch an occurrence at all probable. a HANDLIN aaw a part of the difficulty. Ho was a stono cutter near the stockade—saw tho deceased pick np a stick, and prisoner askod him if he woald strike him. De ceased replied that he would—afterwards saw two men take him off to the stoek- adc. That is all ho knew. At this time the noise became so great ut tho door, caused by negro women try ing to get into the nlreody overcrowded room, that tho Justice ordered those making tlie noise to|bc nrrested. WILLIAM CONLEY heard deceased say to prisoner that he saw two mi ll take him to tlie ?{< K'kiule; was in twenty feet of the parties when the fuss commenced; no other difficulty there that day; was there as guard and would have known it if there had been any pre vious fuss; heard no hollering of any sort that evening; never saw Alexander strike him the whole tipivfls not related to the defendant ill any way. Ill cross-examination he said if there had iierti any blooding or signs of blood he could havo seen it. TOE DEFENSE CLOSED their testimonv. The prosecution intro duced several witnesses from members of tlie chain gang, but their statements were so contlictiug and unreasonable that we will not reiHirt them. Ouo white witness, Mr. Edons, gave in his testimony, but it sounded very much like the others. CRAWFORD BAND prepared the deoeasod for interment— saw indications on his flngors of his hav ing been hurt by falling into the fire.—- Bro. Scott and wife helped dress the bo dy for interment. J. E. BRYANT of Augusta was there at the funeral, and come to examine the oorpse after Craw ford Hand had fixed it for burial. With this testimony the State closed for the prosecution. POLICEMAN lllNTON was produoed by tho defenoc, and his testimony only oorroboratos that of oth ers on that side. His evidence closed tho caso. The ausc was submitted without argu rnent on either side, aud the Justice will give his decision to-mortow (Wednesday) morning ut 1) o'clock, at his office. Board of Ilr&lUl. Mr. Eciron: Many persons seem to misconstrue the duties of a “Board of He dth." They are not street scavengers. It ia not their duty to go into tho lots or by-ways around the premises of citizens to hunt out “Martin Roosts" or the “ stench arising from the rear” of any building; but to give such advice to the proper authorities, when informed of the existence of such nuisouces, as will even tuato in their removal, and prevent dis ease among the people. A “Board of Health" is supposed to be composed of gentlemen of scientific research and skill, who are to attend to the sanitary oonditiou of cities where they are appointed; and in prevailing epidemics to give their counsel and ad vice for the safety and security of the community. Wherever nuisances exist, let those who know the facts report at once, in writing, to the Board, or to any member of tlie Board, tlie ward und lot in which the evil exists, with tho ussu ranee that steps will lie taken to remove the cause of complaint.

MAYOR'S COURT. We learn that there were twenty-four cases before His Honor yesterday morn ing; and some splendid calico, too, was in the crowd. We make no report of the proceedings because our regular reporter was attending Justice Johnson’s Court, and the more important trial of Alexan der. ^ No* Officer Penick, who was detailed from tho special police foroe as a lamplighter, says ho is not the man who was ollndod to the other morning as trying to light the nozzle of a city pump.

The counsel for the prosecution in the Alexamlor trial yesterday, mado great efforts to oreate laughter among the negroes; and when the learned attorney would seemingly get the witness in a tight place, the crowd of reeking savages would manifest their delight in laughter, and other boiaterous demonstrations.

Nearly a Riot. Yesterday afternoon os the Court ad journed, and the prisoner, Mr. Alexan der was being carried to the jail, os they came down the steps to the front door of the City Hall, the place was literally jammed with insolent negroes, who re fused to clear the way. By the prompt and business-like manner ,in which the police did their business a riot was doubtless suspended. The squad consis ted of officers McQeen, Butler, Penick, Buffington, Couch, Owens, White, Wea ver, McGchee, McCann, Hinton, Han cock, Love, Kilby, Garrison aud Con stable Starnes. By prompt and decided action in knocking over two or three qf the inso lent negroes, perhaps the record of a bloody riot is not on hand. Turning Over thn (State Rond Book*. In our yesterday morning's issue, we said : We understand that all the books aud vouchers of any importance belonging to the State Road Office, have l»een turned over to the Board of Commissioners ap pointed by the Legislature to investigate and andit claims against the Road. We farther stated according to this un- dentandingj that the missing “Pass Book” was among the books thus turned over, alluded to the card of Mr. A. L. Harris, heretofore published, explaining to a small extent why the book was in his hands, bnt failing to explain his break ing a look in order to obtain it Yesterday Mr. Harris sent os the fol lowing, which we cheorfully insert: THAT “PASS BOOK.” Editors 8nr: In your issue of 21st inst you allude to my statement as to the “pass book” of the Western and At lantic Railroad, and say I fail to explain whv I took it by ftuxibie means. ” If you had rood my statement which yon allude to, yoq would have seen IJdid no$ take it by “forcible means,” as there qras no ne cessity for such a course. You also state the book is among the books tiven up to the Auditing Commit tee. I do not know of any books having been given up to that Committee, or any body else; but I do know the book m question was not given up, but is now in | my possession and in daily use. Very respectfully, A. L. Harris. Atlanta, Aug. 21, 1871. Ho still says notbiug about breaking that lock—only denies that he took the book by “forcible means.” if we had time we would try to explain to him how he is mistaken, and how the present book was transferred to the State Rood Auditing Committee, Ac.; but we liave not time now. In a day or two we will tell all alnait it. Wire Ln«t Night. Alxmt 12 o’clock last night the cook house attached to the residence of Mr. T. A. Chastain, near the comer of Collins and Wheat streets, suddenly burst out in flumes, which quickly communicated to his residence- a nice new frame building —which had only been occupied about two months. Adjoining the lot of Mr. Chastain was another and similar house very respect, occupied by Copt. Mal lard. Both houses were entirely con sumed. Mr. Cliastuiu had about $1200 insu rance on his house and furniture, aud Capt. Mallard about $500. Tlie houses were valued at about $1500 each. The fire was accidental. The residence of our old friend, Mr. Judson Warliek; narrowly escaped de struction. No. 3 claims to have thrown the first w ater on the flame. O OM MS1H.O X AI* FINANCIAL AND COMMKltCIAL. REMARKS.
