WEDNESDAY MORNING, MARCH 24, 1869.
A Splendid Agrii-nUural E«nay.
We insert upon our first page in to-day’s edi
tion of the Daily Telegraph, about one half of
the most instructive agricultural essay vre have
ever met with. The remainder will appear to
morrow, and the document be reprinted entire
in our Semi-weekly Edition of Saturday and our
Weekly edition of Friday. Persons desiring ex
tra copies should make early order. This essay
was read before the Pioneer Agricultural Society
of Baker county, last summer, and has been ly
ing in our possession some weeks awaiting a
chance for publication, when our docket should
be clear of legislative proceedings and other po
litical matter. It is the best production of the
kind we have ever had the pleasure of present
ing to our agricultural readers, and merits the
most careful perusal and study. The author. Dr.
Stevens, is a thorough agricultural chemist, and
in this address shows us the philosophy of good
cropping.
Can't Vote lor the Bfejcro.
It appears there is a general balk atnong the
white Radicals of Virginia at the nomination of
Harris, a negro, for Lieut. Governor of Vir
ginia. Even the principal newspaper .organ of
the Radicals in Virginia, the Lynchburg Press,
refuses to abide by that nomination, and tells
the negro Radicals, “the white people of the
North or South will not vote for colored people
to All high offices unless no competent white*
can be found to fill them.” And further: “ We
accord to you equal legal rights, such as we
have now or expect to enjoy. Can yon ask
more than this ? Surely not, if yon are reason
able.”
And this is the lame conclusion of the battle
for equality of races before the law ? The ne
gro can vote for white Radicals, but if reason
able, he will ask for nothing more. *To vote for
his own color is to be unreasonable aSd factions.
If that he tho Radical interpretation of equali
ty before the laws, let the negro ask himself
why he shonld prefer to vote for strangers and
adventurers rather than the sons of the soil,
who, like himself, claim the South as home.
Gen. Grant and the Tenare lav.
Gen. Grant, says the Richmond Dispatch,
is understood to have had a plain talk a day or
two since with Mr. Edmunds, of Vermont, the
leader of the civil-tenure suspenders in the Sen
ate. He told Mr. Edmunds that the civil tenure
law ought to be repealed; and if it was not, he
.would not mako a single appointment except to
fill actual vacancies. Yet Edmunds returned to
the Senate, and helped on tho dead-lock be
tween tho frionds of Gen. Grant and those who
are afraid to trust him! The letter-writers
from -Washington report other conversations of
Gen. Grant on the subject, agreeing entirely
with what ho is said to have remarked to Ed
munds.
Tho dispatches published yesterday show that
the Senate is giving way under Executive pres
sure and the dictates of self-interest- The
question now is changed to one of suspension
during the administration of Gen. Grant, or ab
solute and unconditional repeal. t

Ebbors.—Wo are sorry to say that in part of
our edition two ridiculous errors occur in the
printing of Dr. Stevens’address. Oqp of these
is on tho first oolnran, where “anatonial” figures
for the word “ anatomical.” The other is in
the second'column, where “suds” is printed
for “seeds.” These errors are due to omissions
in correcting from the proof, and are remedied
in part of the edition. ,j
Esticino ott Hands.—A case is now pending
in tho Houston Snporior Court, on tho matter of
enticing a hand from his employer after a con
tract has been made. Suits for damages have
been brought in several cases in tho State. Sym
pathy is universally for the plaintiff*, and tho
wish generally expressed that tho defendant will
bo made to smoke for his conduct. The case
in Houston is attracting considerable attention
among tho planters of tho country, as it will be
taken os a precedent.
Another Payment ti'.om the Sr ate Road.—
Superintendent Hulbort notifies the Governor
on the 22d instant, that he has ordered $25,000
to be paid the Treasurer of the State out of the
earnings of the Wostcm & Atlantic Road for
tho month of February.
Gen. Lee’s Repost op the Battle or Gettts-
burq.—Gsn. Lee’s report of the battle of Gettys

that Lee’s purpose in his inarch to Pennsylvania
was to cross the Susquehanna and move upon
Harrisburg, and probably Philadelphia.

Gen. Lonostreet's Office.—This office (Sur
veyor of the Port of New Orleans) is only worth
$3,500 after all. It is a small affair about
which a great deal has been said. The Macon
postoffice is a better thing. r - - or _
The Spoils.—Every consulship to Europe has
an average of three hnndred applicants except
Liverpool, the best in the lot, which has seven
hundred and fifty, with the Pacific States to hear

The daily Southern press is in the habit, of
giving Northern magazines from two to five dol
lars worth of editorial advertising far twenty-five
cents worth of magazine.
Adjocenhent op Congress.—There is said
to be no probability of the adjournment of Con
gress at the time fixed upon by the House. Every
indication points to a prolongation of the ses
sion to the middle or last part of April
The capacity of the Rath Paper Mills, in
South Carolina, will be increased during the
summer by the addition of some twenty thous
and dollars worth of new machinery.
Ott tor Washington.—We learn that Govern
or Bullock and his staff left for Washington last
Saturday night. Judge Lochrane was also of
the party.
The presswo.k of the Macon Telegraph is the
best newspaper printing in the Stale—La-
Grange Reporter. . ~
And the Telegraph is the best netr-s-paper in
the State.—Moitroc Adcertiier.
The Tribune says : “ The nation has been
speculating and experimenting long enough, and j
it is time for it to settle down.'' Its creditors i
seem to think it is time for it to settle up. |
Baying an Indiana Nor,
The New York Times is distressed about the
uews from Alaska. “Bad feeling” is reported
among the Indians already, and the chances of
a war are clear and strong. The American na
val officers regret that the Indians have stupid
ly built their villages so far from water that they
can t be shelled by the gunboats.
The Times asks why is it that Russia got
through so many years without any trouble with
these Alaska savages?—Why is it that Great
Britain has no trouble with her Northwestern
Indians? and yet just so Boon as the United
States comes, to deal with the same people “bad
feeling” qjid “shelling,” and burning and butch
ery begin. Why is it, sure enough ?
“ Are we a Christian people 7” asks the
Times. Well, the answer must be, we are a
very Christian people, according to the latest
and most approved methods known among us.
In the way of fussing and interfering with and
cheating, domineering over and imposing upon
anybody weaker than themselves, there never
was so Christian a people as those who now con
trol the Government of the United States, ac
cording to their interpetration of what constitutes
a Christian people. It is the most difficult thing
in the world to keep on terms with them; and
it seems the patienoe of the Bimple savages of
Alaska gave ont altogether in a very short time.
Poor Indians! extermination is now their por
tion, because they can't appreciate the ways of
a Christian people. The U. S. Government has
bought a huge Indian war and an immense
amount of butcher’s-work with its “Alaska
purchase.”
Tlie .Sugar Question.
Sugar has gone np in consequence of the civil
disturbances in Cuba and the practical abolition
of slavery in that Island; and the newspapers
have been agitating the question of the sources
of supply. Two dr three months ago we had
occasion to acknowledge the receipt of a sample
of sugar made from sorghum, by a company in
Louisville, Ky., which was equal in quality to
the best New Orleans raw sugar. It was stated
that a product of 900 to 1200 pounds of sugar
to the acre of sorghum cone was the ordinary
yield in Kentucky; and if this be true, it is quite
evident the sugar problem is solved at once.
Sorghum r*n be raised without difficulty in
any part of the United States south of Central
Illinois, but attains a more perfect development
in the Cotton States. Maturing earlier than
sugar cane, the grinding season is sufficiently
long in most of these States to admit of work
ing up the crop as leisurely as the cane of Louis
iana, and the product is sufficiently remunera
tive to justify the most perfect apparatus for
that purpose. ' "* "
All the obstacles to ss perfect a chrystaliration
of the syrup of sorghum as that of the syrup of
sugarcane, are removed by the simple expedient
of defecating the juioe before it is boiled. The
sugar then granulates beautifully, and both sugar
and syrup are aa free fronvthe peculiar flavor of
the sorghum as could be desired.
In short, here, at the moment when tropical
Sugar .crops seem destined to fail almost en
tirely, is • perfect substitute which ought not
only to fill tho vacuum and prevent any se
rious deficiency in tbe sugar supply and a corre
sponding rise in price, but it ought largely to
increase the supply and diminish the price of
this staple article of food. Our attention has
been recalled to this subject by an article in the
Richmond Dispatch, from which we quote the
following:
There is now a company in Louisville, Ky.,
engaged in the manufacture of sugar and syrup
from sorghum. Tho Democrat of that city
states that the articles manufactured by the
company are excellent The syrup brings readi
ly eighty cents per gallon in the market The
sugar, “ in every respect—in color, brightness
and sweetness—is equal to the best refined ‘A ’
sugar eve* made,” mya that paper. It adds that
it can be made for SeTen cents per pound—
about one-third of the coat of imported sugar.
In speaking of the yield of aorghnm per acre
tho Democrat estimates that an acre will pro
duce 900 pounds of sugar, or 150 gallons of syr
up, which, it contends, will pay bettor than corn
or other grain.

The Liverpool, London and Globe Insurance
Company is represented in Macon by L C. Plant,
Esq. The Policies of this Company are issued
by well-known American citizens resident in
New Y ork, who are Directors and Shareholders,
and consequently, with other Shareholders, are
individually liable for all the engagements of
the Company. AD Policies are signed by them.
All claims are payable in cash on proof of lose,
without deduction for interest, and not, as is
usual, sixty days after presentation of proof.
They expire at six o'clock P. Ml, and not at
noon. No charge for Policies.
The Man Domingo Scheme.
Washington dispatches state that it is regard
ed as certain that the House Committee on For
eign Affairs will report favorably npon Mr.
Banks’ resolution providing for the annexation
of San Domingo. It will be remembered that
Baez, the President of the republic, a few months
ago proposed to Mr. Seward that the island—or
his half of it. at least—shonld be ceded to the
United States, and acquire the privileges and
rights of a sovereign State upon certain condi
tions, the principal one of which was, that we
should pay the San Domingo national debt. The
island is not worth shucks. It would be a hard
bargain for us to take it free, gratis, to say
nothing of its “national debt,” whatever that
is. It can’t be much, however, for nobody
would be fool enough to credit that worthless
band of free niggers for a large amount, and
any creditor would no doubt give a receipt in
full for five cents in the dollar. We have more
land now than we can properly cultivate or gov
ern.
State Am w South Carolina.—A dispatch to
the Charleston Courier from Columbus, says :
A severe contest in the Legislature, involving

parties for the railroads on the one side, and

the Legislature, opposed to granting State aid,
has resulted in a grand defeat of all the railroad
schemes, and the General Assembly will adjourn
sine die on the 24th.
to make, I inform you now, that you need ex
pect none in reply. If yon have a short speech
to make, I may have time to hear yon; but if it
is a long one, I will not have time to hear it.”
We learn that this rather disconcerted Mr.
Blodgett; but In ■& embarrassed manner he read
his piece through. After he had concluded, the
President asked him what he wanted. The an
swer was, “We want protection for the loyal
people of Georgia.” Tho President is said to
have responded, “ You shall have all theprotec-
tion the law gives you. I expect to execute the
law.’” After which Blodgett and his party re
tired with minds very poorly made up as to
whether or nottheyhad moved a peg toward un-
roco ns trading the State.
Dr. Bard himself, it seems, had also a heavy
time of it on his pilgrimage. He says:
During our brief stay in Washington we
learned a very important fact, to-wit; General
U. S. Grant is President of the United States:
” Now, at what cost to himself Dr. Bard gained
a comprehension of this foot, we are wholly
unable to say. He don't tell us- . - ,•

“ Old Sixth.”
A committee was appointed to confer with
Colonel Boyd and request him to withdraw, and
one also to prepare an address to tho people of
the District
While Colonel Boyd is held in high esteem by
the party in the District, it is greatly to be re
gretted that he has not, like Colonel Buchanan,
of the Fourth, become convinced that there is
no chance for an ineligible man. Colonel Boyd’s
position is complicated further by the fact that
before the Convention was re-assembled he an
swered the Chairmain of the Executive Commit
tee that he would acquiesoe in the action of the
Convention that nominated him. Therefore, the
old Convention was re-assembled. The notico
was necessarily so short that the Convention was
not as full as might have been desired. Eleven
counties went into the Convention—being a ma
jority—and two or three others were present
through delegates friendly to Colonel Boyd, who
refused to enter the Convention. The counties
represented comprise more than three-fourths
of the votes of the District, and it is believed
that Major Adams can be elected, even if CoL
Boyd stays in the field.
Major Adams represented Clark county in the
Georgia Legislature in 1863, and again in 1865,
where he occupied a leading position. He is a
man of sterling integrity and unimpeachable
character, and would represent the interests of
his constituents with zeal and ability. if.
Andrew Johnson nt Home.
Ex-President Johnson arrived at heme,
Greenville, Tenn., on the 20th. He was re
ceived by the citizens of tho town, en masse,
who had made every preparation to pay their
respects to their distihguished friend and neigh
bor. We find the following special dispatch in
the Nashville Banner:
THE EX-PRESIDENT S SPEECH.
It was expected that Mr. Johnson would avail
himself of the occasion to present his views of
the present situation of the country somewhat
elaborately, but be briefly confined himself to
matters relative to his own administration. Ho
spoke of his course as President of the United
States, and said he had endeavored ever to do
his duty. He had defended the Constitution as
the nation’s only bulwark of safety. He spoke
of his having held every office in the gift of the
people, from Alderman of our little town to
President of the United States, and challenged
any man to face him and say that he had at any
time ever reoeived bribery at any one’s hands.
He said he earnestly wished there wore more
men in the oountry who could say as much. Ho
could look that audience in tbe face and ask the
r sUions: Who have I betrayed ? Who have
oppressed? He reiterated the sentiment
enn notated in the Baltimore reception that he
felt more pride in coming back to bis old home,
a private citizen, than ho would in being inau
gurated President of the United States over tho
rains of a violated Constitution. - He again de
clared that no case of emancipation was greater
than his deliverance, since the war. If the Con
stitution was not wrested from the hinds of the
usurpers, in a few years the Government would
be lost, or its whole character changed. He
said, in conclusion, that he felt proud in ooming
back among, his old*friends, at least' to help
them bear the burdens if he could not re-
lieve them.
Mr. Johnson was greeted at the close With
loud cheers, and was frequently interrupted with
applause in the course of his reply to the wel
come. Tbr eaffteAflntir paused .off veiy suc
cessfully, and but one trivial incident occurred
in the arrangement of the order of exercises that
did not reflect very creditably npon its author.
Tho Mayor of Greeneville peremptorily refused
to officially participate in the ceremonies—-mak-
•ingsomo absurd allegation that ex-Presldent
Johnson had gotten himself into .an awkward
predicament,' or something to that effect, and
he would have nothing to do with it, bat would
resign in favor of some one eke. The Mayor's
refusal was regarded as a piece of ill-mannered
boorishness, and although officially, in a meas
ure, the representative of the town, his act did
not reflect the feelings of the citizens of Greene
ville, who delight to honor men of Ur. Johnson’s
independence and patriotism.
