Corn Crops In West Georgia.
On a recent visit east of this city, says the
Columbus Sun, in portions of the counties of
Muscogee, Talbot, Marion and Chattahoochee,
we were pleased to learn that the planters had
been much slandered as to their disposition to
go it largely on cotton. We found them alive
to the importance of the bread question, and de
termined to plant a sufficiency of com to supply
farm wants. Few have been able to procure
the number of hands they worked last year, and
to make up the deficit in labor, many are ar-
ranging for guano for cotton, with the hope of
getting as great a yield of cotton this year as
last, from less lands and with leas labor.
Georgia and one of Her Falthfal Her-
, _ s: vasts.
We make public, says the Columbus Sun of
Thursday, the following interesting letter re
ceived by us from Washington on yesterday.
The writer is a member of the Reconstruction
Committee:
Wi—W, D. C., Feb. 27, 1869.
Cor. Laxas —Dear Sir—We have determined,
at last, to let Georgia alone. Our Committee
today unanimously laid it over to next Congress.
There was a steady persistent effort to exclude
your State, and an equally persistent one, on
our port, to prevent action. We have thirty
more members next time.
By the way, from first to last Tift has stood by
us, watched and worked, as Brooks aptly said
today, with the persistence of a Yankee and the
zeal of a Georgian. Yon are all much indebted
to him. I never saw a more honest, earnest
Woxa* scmuoE has been defeated ip Neva
da and Minnesota. The members of the Legis
lature of the latter State were so ungallant as to
record their abhorrence of the doctrine at a time
when the editors of the Revolution were holding
a woman’s rights convention at their capitoL If,
says the Troy Times, woman suffrage is defeated
in a State like Nevada, where ths men stand
ready to offer inducements to women of almost
any class and condition to come and relieve their
solitude, it needs no prophet to foretell its utter
defeat in more populous States. Already this
movement is bearing such fruit as must make it
nnpalpatablo to tho mothers of the land. Its
chief organs advocate divorce as the common
and proper way of making husband and wife har
monize. But it is the experience of the world,
that, when the sacredness of the marriage tie is
onoo infringed, tho demoralization of society
rapidly follows.
The Memory of ah Old Romas.—The no less
eccentric than famous Henry S. Foote recently
delivered a lecture at Nashville, upon the “Life,
Character 'and Times of Titus Pomponius Atti-
cus.” That eminent Roman was bom 100 years
before Christ, and was the ootemporary of
Cosar, Brutus, Marius, Sylla, Hortensins, A grip-
pa, Antony and Cioero—the latter addressing
many of bis letters to him. He was one of the
most honorable, high-bred and truly cultivated
men of the Roman nation. He wrote a history
of his country covering a period of seven hun
dred years, and also a history of illustrious
Roman families—all of which have been lost.
The Lecturer certainly had an interesting theme.
Point Clear Hotel, Mobile.—This favorite
watering place was sold last Monday by Maj.
Thos. LeBaron, and was purchased by Cols. A.
J. Ingersoll ondJ. McCloskey, ferthe sum of
$10,000. At the same time 23} acres of land
on Government street in this city were sold for
$310.
The Tribune says: This is some of the cheap
est property that has been sold in this city for
many years, ia tins tract is worth fonr or five
times more than it sold for.
Wilmington and Weldon Railboad.—The
Augusta Constitutionalist learns from tho Wash
ington Star that 4000 shares of the Wilmington
and Weldon railroad have been purchased by
Baltimore capitalists, and the control of the road
has passed into Baltimore interests. Baltimore
has now the control of transportation via the
Chesapeake from Baltimore to Washington.
Bro Pardon.—A compositor yesterday made
us speak of tho freedmen as “sons of ham.” It
is a mistake—it should have been middlings.
The same chap refused a capital letter to the
god Mercury, and therein displayed a scandal
ous disrespect to the household deity of most of
the leading politicians, sages, warriors, philan
thropists, and office-holders of the day. The
man has no reverence.
Holt and the Cabinet.—It comes np to the
surface that the notorious Joe Holt last week,
in some way or other, procured Forney to ru
mor his name in possible connection with a Cab
inet appointment, so as to see whether folks ap
proved of it or not. To-day the same Fomey
withdraws Holt's name, and it is believed that
the universal cry of disgust which arose at the
very proposition has pierced the cuticle even of
Holt.— Washing ton Cor. If. T. World.
Invitation to adjourn.—The people of Cobb
county held a public meeting on the 2d inst. to
invite and entreat the Legislature to adjourn
tine die. On the same day said Legislature re
fused on the 12th. Their ears are stopped by
nine dollars per diem. None are so deaf as those
who tn'il not hear.
Cuba and the Alabama Claims First.—The
New York Herald, of the 3d, says, “in conver
sation with General Reynolds yesterday, Gene
ral Grant is understood to have said that recon
struction could take care of itself, and that Cu
ban independence and the Alabama claims would
require attention first.”
A Manta.—A correspondent, sending us some
subscribers from Crawford, says there is a
“mania for the Weekly Telegraph,” in those
regions. We have got a receipt for it, and hopd
it will grow. It is a manageable disease and
sure to benefit its subjects.
The March number of the American Horti
culturist has been received. It is a very in
teresting publication. We. ran recommend it
very freely. It is published by Orang Judd <k

The Economy of Advertising.
The attention of a considerable portion of the
Georgia Press seems latterly to have been
drawn a great deal to the subject of advertising
—the philosophy of prices—the evils of under
bidding, etc., etc., but it is a matter to which
we should not speak, except to correct a state
ment in the Savannah Daily Advertiser of the
4th inst., in respect to the Macon Daily Tele
graph. The Advertiser says:
The Macon Telozbafh, reaching into
every town and village in the State, and acknowl
edged to have a list of subscribers greater than
any Georgia paper, thrives on rates that would
bring smiles to the face of a Savannah merchant.
We beg leave respectfully to demur to the
invidious attitude in which we are placed by the
foregoing extract from the Advertiser, in respect
to its contemporaries, and think a little inquiry
by the Advertiser, among the merchants of
Savannah for whom we advertise, would en-
able it to correct this statement The Tels-
obaph is not unmindful of the great advantages
it offers as a vehicle for advertising patronage,
steadily refuses to receive it except on terms
commensurate, in some good degree, with the
facilities offered by our circulation, and har
monious with a consistent, settled and intelli
gent business system. We never accept adver
tisements at rates below compensation to fill up
space, for we have no space to spare; and if we
had, the cost of blank paper in our editions
would mulct ns in too great pecuniary loss on
every such engagement. And, in fine, we feel
certain, that instead of undermining the bust
of contemporaries by inadequate prices,
there is not one of them in Georgia who would
not be very willing to take every advertising
contract of the Macon Daily Telegraph off its
hands at the rates under stipulation.
Having, in justice to the Telegraph, ventur
ed this much in regard to personal and private
concerns, we are tempted to add a word more
upon the general subject of the economy of
advertising.
It is a vast and growing oonoem, and only of
late seems to be beginning to be pursued on any
tiring like sound and systematic principles. Ac
tive and intelligent business men now account
advertising as a regular expense as indispensa
ble to business as rents, and we see it stated in a
New York paper that it ordinarily amounts to
about twenty-five per cent, of current expenses.
Thus the great Stewart himself very recently ex
pended forty-five thousand dollars upon one
single advertisement in various papers through
out the country, and yet many people would
think A. T. Stewart A Co. beyond the necessity
of advertising.
The prices paid in Northern cities are deter
mined purely by circulation, and they vary from
two dollars to one cent a line. There is no at
tempt to establish a scale of uniform prices, be
cause such a scale would evidently be prepos
terous, both as to the consideration- to the ad
vertiser and the expense to the publisher.
An advertisement might be pilled a dollar
and placed before a thousand people at a cost to
the publisher of fifty oents—and the same ad
vertiaement might be priced at twenty dollars
and put in the hands of three hundred thousand
readers at a cost of fifteen dollars. It is for the
advertiser to settle the question of the sound
economy of the relative expense as compared
with the relative advantages. Both are adver
tisements reading precisely alike in the single
oopies he has before him, bathe, himself, mast
see that an uniformity of price is out of the ques
tion. •
The same consideration must affect prices,
though to a less extent, in Georgia. An adver
tisement in a paper of small circulation and not
much sought after, is manifestly worth very little
compared with an advertisement in,a standard
paper of large circulation, which is eagerly
read, and to which the people are habitually ac
customed to look for information and advioe upon
all matters of general interest. The announce
ment of the advertiser gains great advantage
from the wide circulation, character and weight
of the vehicle he selects. Besides, it costs tho
publisher much more, and both these points
justly demand increased compensation. It is
for these, among many reasons, that we are un
able to discover any philosophy in tho proposi
tion to demand and prescribe uniform rates, as
has been suggested. Uniform rates ate ex
ploded. We have no idea intelligent advertis
ers will pay them more willingly than they
would agree to sell one bushel of com for a dol
lar and ten bushels of com for s dollar.
Melancholic.
A dispatch of the 24, from New Yoric, says:
Leading Republicans here, by various cau
tious expedients, indicate much dissatisfaction
with the aspect of affairs at Washington. One
of them declared that Gen. Grant seemed to
have no just idea of the force or scope of moral
influences, but understood but brute force.
Well, we think "leading Republicans” have
dealt too long and too constantly in “brute
force” to object to it.
Dougherty County Republican's on Recon
struction.—The Albany News says:
The colored Republicans of this county, yes
terday, sent s dispatch to Hon. Nelson Tift, ex
pressing contentment with the present govern
ment of Georgia, and remonstrating against any
further Congressional interference.
General Grant anti Georgia.
We clip from the Washington correspondence
of the Baltimore Gazette, the subjoined very
interesting report of the interview of General
P. M. B. Young, of Georgia, with General Grant,
upon the status of Georgia:
Mr. Boutwell, Chairman of the Committee on
Reconstruction, hod given notice that he would,
on Saturday morning last, call for s vote on the
bill annulling the present State Government of
Georgia. It was well known what the result
would be. Georgia would be remitted to a mil-
ism and her privileges as a State in
tho’Union be scattered to the winds.
The Hon. Pierce Young determined in the last
resort to appeal to the President elect, and for
this purpose he sought and obtained an inter
view with Gen. Grant on Friday last. The Gen
eral received him cordially, and listened earn
estly to his statement. Mr. Young spoke of the
impending danger to the State of Georgia if Mr.
Boutwell carried out his programme, and ex
plained how Governor Bollock had defeated the
effort made by the Legislature of Georgia to
submit to the Supreme Court of that State the
question as to the right of freedmen to hold
office—the only question now at issue between
the State and Congress—and an issue, too, which
Congress had just surrendered in the proposed
constitutional amendment.
Gen. Grant promptly answered that no one
could deny the fact that Georgia was a State in
the Union and now entitled to representation in
both branches of Congress: that Congress had,
by solemn enactments, declared this fact, and
that it was no more in the power of Congress
now to remit Georgia to a state of military gov
ernment than it was for Congress to annul the
State government of New York or Massachu
setts. He said he could never sanction any ac
tion on the part of Congress which contempla
ted an interference with the State government
of Georgia, and that he would take occasion to
oommnnicate with the chairman of the Commit
tee on Reconstruction.
Mr. Young then alluded to what he considered
the fixed purpose of the dominant party in Con
gress, as regards Georgia and the other South
ern States, when General Grant interrupted him
by saying that he hoped it was perfectly under
stood that he had been elected the President of
the country, and not the President of a political
party, and as the National Executive he should
consider and protect, as far as his Constitution
al powers enabled him, the rights and interests
of all sections.
That this pledge will be faithfully observed
finds an earnest in the fact that when the Re
construction Committee met on Saturday morn
ing. Mr. Boutwell. instead of calling for a vote
on his bill, annulling the State Government of
Georgia, he announced, to the great surprise of
big Radical colleagues, that he had concluded to
let the bill go over to the next Congress without
further action on the part of the Committee.
This unexpected turn in events, seems to war
rant the belief that the distinguished Chairman,
who, by the by, has some Cabinet aspirations,
had received a revelation from some quarter
■which influenced his action. The interview,
The Cabinet— Its Meaning.
Gen. Grant's Cabinet appointments sustain all
the inferences we drew from his Inaugural,
is not a party Cabinet, in any offensive or ag
gressive sense, and it is, so far as we understand
its personnel, such a board of counsellors as a
Chief Magistrate, bent on discharging his trust
without fear, favor or partiality, would be likely
to call around him. He has passed by all the
old stereotyped, rusty, fusty, mill-horse Radical
leaders, and taken new men—so new that we
are unable to locate all of them.
Washburns is the only one of the number who
has ever made any figure as a psrtizan; and his
last demonstration in the House of Representa
tives will be well recollected by the country,
was a terrible onslaught upon his own party for
the extravagance, corruption and abuse which
pervaded all departments of the pnblic admin
istration. This speech was held np by the Dem
ocratic press as a full confession of all the enor
mities charged to the account of the Radical
party. It was not understood, at the time, bnt
perhaps wa can understand it now. It was eith
er a bold manifesto from the conscious leader of
the incoming administration, or it now stands
endorsed by the new President as a trumpet
note of ndynouiflon and warning, foreshadowing
his inexorable determination to grapple with the
hydra of political and party profligacy.
Nor less portentous of this purpose is the se
cond nomination on the Board; which, now,
however, in the changed condition of the conn-*
try, ranks as in the British cabinet—the first in
importance and responsibility. The merchant
prince of New York—A. T. Stewart—the man of
many millions—of unrivalled financial and exe-
tive ability—who holds proverbially so tight a
rein over his dim army of employees—whose
bnsinesa operations excel'in magnitude those of
many of the small governments in the world—
this man will be a terror to faithless fiduciary
agents of the government. They will find it
hard to cover np their tracks. As to all those
powerful and tmscupnlous New York rings who
have so long battened on peculation and knavery
—they may as well hand in their chips. He
knows all about them and their day is over.
Ths Treasury has, perhaps, never had at its
head a man of so great shrewdness—of such
complete executive capacity, in the way of busi
management. We do not, of course, com
pare him with Gallatin, Hamilton, and other
profound fiscal economists, who have adorned
this position at different periods in the history
of the country; bnt in point of capacity to
manage the public revenue with skill and econ
omy, and to enforce accountability and integrity
in its collection, we believe his superior has
never presided over tho Treasury deportment
For the remainder, all new men, and to
great extent unknown to the country, we can
only say that their selection in preference to ail
the known and recognized leaders of the Re
publican and Radical parties, shows- the deter
mination of Gen. Grant to put affairs on an en
tirely nett tracts and to carry on an indepen
dent administration—independent of all cliques
and rings by which ths money end patronage of
the Government can be perrjrted to base and
unworthy purposes.
We may be sure there are sore heads among
the Washington Radicals to-day. Scores of
Radical leaders, who for four years past have
been under the impression that they owned the
country, are well-nigh banting with indignation.
They are equally astounded and mortified at the
audacity of Gen. Grant, who has crowned
months of refusal to take them into his council
and confidence, with nominations of new and
unknown* men who were never heard of when
the country waa “being carried through the
throes of the great rebellion” on their own Alan-
toan shoulders. One can fancy Sumner, Wil
son, Bingham, Butler and the rest pouting over
the ingratitude of republics, and speculating
how long before it will bo necessary to throw
one more Tylerizing President overboard, an
other Johnson and another Jonah in the ship
bearing the fortunes of the groat “party of mor
al ideas.” Ah, how long?
Plantation Economy.—The Atlanta Intelli
gencer says:
Thousands upon thousands of dollars have
, me from Georgia this season to other States
or mules, horses, and bacon, A laige part of
this money could have been retained at homo by
a little lator. The economy and profit of plant
ing or fanning oonsists greatly in selling, not
purchasing. We are conscious of the trouble
and expense that now attend the raising of meat
or mules; still, it can be accomplished, and that
a beneficial and paying manner.
iVe met Mr. Lewis Tomlin a
day or two since,
killed this ‘
and he informed ns that he had killed this winter
one hundred hogs, weighing throe hundred
xrands each. And hundreds of others might
rave been equally successful, thus providing
their bacon and adding to their wealth.
The groat advance and high price of sugar and
molasses should stimulate our planters to re
newed efforts to bring the making of sugar and
syrup from sorghum to more perfection. In
days gone by we have seen sorghum very nearly
equal to Demarara sugar in grain,* strength and
flavor.
The revolution in Cuba has advanced the
price of sugar, and will check its production,
and the other islands that raise it may become
involved; therefore we make this suggestion.
Cotton—Statistical Information.—From the
circular of Easton & Co., considered in this sec
tion .the most reliable of New York brokers, we
copy and condense the following interesting in
formation :
Total receipts at all the United States ports
since September 1, 1868, to February 26th,
1,610,924 bales, against 1,621,871 to same date
last year, showing a deficit in receipts of 10,947
bales. Of the receipts the exporters have taken
865,196 ; spinners 404,736. The stocks have
increased 305,965. Deficits in shipments to
Liverpool, as compared with last year, 160,736
bales. The stock in tho interior towns are
81,713 bales,, against 90,175 in 1868. “The re
ceipts in March, 1868, were 245,375. The re
ceipts this March will be 40,000 bales less, not
because planters will hold back, but because
there is certainly less cotton to come in”:

The Right Sort op Prosperity.—A corres
pondent furnishes us with the statement that
the interior town of Springfield, Ohio, has sud
denly Bprung up from an obscure village to the
dimensions almost of a city with sixteen thou
sand inhabitants, with its hundred thousand
dollar opera house, first-class hotel, etc. Three
hundred buildings, costing nearly a million dol
lars, were constructed last year. This is the re
sult of a legitimate manufacturing business, in
cluding snch products as reapers, mowers, grain
drills, cider mills, lead paints, manufactured
tobacco, etc., realizing two millions and a half
per annum. How different prosperity like this
is compared with that of those mushroom cities
that rise up on oil bubbles, gold and silver
mines, or any other of the humbugs of the day
which glitter for a brief period and then burst
,. into thin air, mining all the uninitiated who have
asgiven above, between the Georgia, Represen- been so imprudent as to enter into such wild
tative and General Grant may furnish the ex- goose speculations! And yet this thrifty Ohio
planation.
A German baker in Philadelphia found him
self under the necessity of chastising his son
for pilfering. The boy being rather strong was
able to resist successfully. Thereupon the
parent hired an assistant and administered the
flagellation with a hoop-pole. When the boy
cried for quarter, the pbdloeophic baker granted
it, saying, “I joust don’t lick you no more for
shtealin’ mine money, bnt I geefs dis man half
a dollar to holt you down, and now X geefs you
dat much worth more.”
