Planting in Ontrnl Georgia.
The planters of Central Georgia have so far
had, in general, remarkably favorable weather
for their operations. The corn, we suppose, has
to a great Client been planted and mnch cf it is
up and displays an excellent stand. The rains
m this region have been light, and the soil is in
good order. We have, fortunately, so far, es
caped those deluging showers which not only
wash and disfigure our fields so terribly, but fre
quently solidify and encrust the ground so much
that plants cannot penetrate itorgrowafterthey
are through it, until it is stirred up and the crust
broken. We have had nothing of this in Middle
Georgia so far this spring. _

The Uses ot Birds.
When towheaded urchins and children of a
larger growth go about killing birds of a food
value of half a cent with charges of powder and
shot worth six pence, it is right they should know
the exact Taluo of the birds in the economy of
nature. They not only contribute as much as or
more than the flowers to the beauty of nature,
but the wonderful extent of their utility is set
forth in an' able scientific report to the Legisla
ture of Massachusetts who appointed
mission to investigate the subject The ap
pointment arose on a motion to repeal all legis
lation for the protection of robins oh the ground
that they were not insect eaters, but preyed upon
crops. The New York Commercial Advertiser
alludes to this report as follows:
A committee, headed by the eminent orni
thologist Professor Jeuks, of Middleboro, was
appointed to investigate the matter. Mr. Jenks
devoted the leisnre hour3 of an entire year to a
careful and minute investigation of the subject
committed to his charge. He obtained birds

crops may reasonably count thereafter on plain the stomach of a single bird. These larva) do
sailing; while he who hurries them into the great injury to vines, roots, seeds, etc., and
say the crop is planted, will never fake any
pleasure or profit ir them afterwards. We take
a world of comfort in the thought that Georgia
planting is in a course of rapid improvement,
and every year the standard will be raised.
Agricnltnral Statistics or tlie Colton
State*.
The last annual report of the Agricnltnral
Bureau just published gives statistics up to the
close of the year 1867. By these we see the
proportion of land applied to cotton and com,
in the whole number of acres cultivated in the
Cotton States, was forty-four per cent, for cot
ton and thirty-eight for com. Georgia had for
ty-three and forty. The average cotton product
in these States was 190 pounds to the acre and
1,760 to the hand. Georgia produced 170 to
to tho acre and 1,560 to the hand. Louisiana
gave the largest product—260 to the acre and
2,200 to the hand. Wages in Georgia averaged,
exclusive of rations, in 1867, $125 for men;
$65 for women, and $16 for boys. In 1868,
they were $83, $56 and $17.
Col. Lswmd.
A note from this gentleman to the editor of
the Journal and Messenger announces, as wo
have already stated, that he considers his nomi
nation for Congress expired by limitation on tho
1th nit., in accordance with the action of tho
District Convention, and that he folly concedes
the right of the party in the fntnre to make
any other nomination it may see proper. CoL
Lawson is a worthy standard bearer of the par
ty, and we regret that the failure to provide by
law for an election last fall left him no chance
to submit his claim to the people.
A Daniel Come to Judgment.
Senator Sprague says “ there is less morality
in American society than in any other civilized
society on the face of the earth," and "the conn-
try is on the brink of a precipice, and unless tho
peoplo can be roused from their apathy all is
lost" Don't rouse them Sprague. Let them
sleep on. Thoy belong to that class who are
never out of mischief except when fast asleep.
And as to morals, hare we not pat the country
into the hands of tho party of "high moral
ideas," and if they can't save ns by reconstruc
tion, who can? «
Aitixtos's Joushsl.— 1 The first number of
Appleton's Journal reached town yesterday, and
may be found at Havens & Brown’s. It is a
doable column quarto of thirty-two pages,
stitched and trimmed, as we are glad to see.
Tho first eleven pages ore devoted to the new
story, "The Man who Laughs," by Victor Hu
go. The next article is a biographical sketch
■ of Victor Hugo, with a portrait, and a picture
of his dwelling. "Why we Sleep" it tho next
article. “Lore thy neighbor”—a poem by Stod-
ard, is very happily "illustrated by a cut” show
ing how easy it is to keep that commandment;
Linked to a Star; May Evening; About Wo
men and Dress, and numerous shorter articles
fillup the remainder of its pages. Accompany
ing this number is an “Art Supplement' ■
cartoon of the Grand Drive in Central Park—
the finest sample of wood engraving we have
seen.
Thx Nxw Spaxish Monarch.—The Western
dispatches say advices from Spain render it cer
tain Montpensior will be proclaimed King. He
will arrive in Spain within a fortnight, on the
ironclad Victoria, now at Lisbon.
Hontpensicr is tho third son of Lonis Phil-
ippe, King of the French, and married a sister
of Isabella, the late Queen of Spain. Ho is
nearly forty-five years old. • : '
The Pacino Railroad.—A dispatch was re
ceived at Washington on the 29th, to the effect
that the Union Pacific track is completed twen
ty-five miles west of Ogden, and 1057 mOes
west of Omaha. The Central Pacifiers finished
aeventy-five miles west of Monument Point.
The gap between the two is 12G miles. Monu
ment Point, it is said, will be the plaee of junc
tion of the two roads.
Blodgett to be Posmasteb op Accuses.—
The Chronicle and Sentinel has news Fos
ter Blodgett is to be reinstated in tho Augusta
Postoffice. Grant's administration has the right
to choose itn own representatives, and it is a
maxim as old as the world that there's no ac
counting for tastes.
Ex-Maxob James Harper, the senior of Har
per Brothers, who was injured by being thrown
from his carriage in Central Park, died last Sat
urday night at the ago of 71, The Central Park
drive seems to bo something of an aceldema.
Within a year, several have been killed there.
The Senate yesterday was considering wheth
er they could adjourn on the 6th with the ten-
ure-of-office act, Mississippi, Georgia and the
appropriation bills yet to be disposed of.
Bishop Beckwith, . of Georgia, preached in
Chicago Easter Sunday at the opening of Grace
Church, the finest Church edifice in the West.
A pair ate dispatch from this dty to Washington
yesterday announces that the Hon. A. H. Stephens
is on his death-bed.
High Watxbs ik the Nobth.—The Northern
and Western rivers, it seems, are all overflow,
ing from the spring thaws. The Hudson and
Poughkeepsie have flooded the railway tracks.
Blodgett has really been appointed Post
master of Augusta. That is an appointment
upon which there's no earthly chance for a dif
ference of opinion. •
The Rev. J. S. C. Abbott, a Harper Magazine
Bohemian, has written what he calls “The TTio-
torj of Napoleon HL" No one else familiar
with that remarkable man would give his book
that title. He is the same individual who wrote
an almost interminable lot of romantic stuff
nonsense and falsehood about Napoleon Bona
parte, ten or fifteen years ago, and which was
firing literature for the magazine he writes for.
wero it not that robins prevent their increase.
These larvae live in large swarms, and when a
large colony is discovered, it is quickly exter
minated by the robins.
Prof. Jenks farther discovered that daring
the months of May and June the larva) are re
placed in the stomach of the robin by a variety
of insects. Prof. Treadwell, of Cambridge,
after many experiments, demonstrated, a few
years ago, that a young robin consumed forty-
one per cent, of animal food more than his own
weight in twelve hoars before he began to gain,
and that after he had eaten this amount, his own
weight was fifteen per cent less than the food
he had consumed. That he absolutely needed
| this large amount of food was shown by bis fall
ing off in weight when he had less. “Even
when fed on raw beef the young bird consumed
nearly his own equivalent each day; and after
eating this amount daily for thirteen successive
days, his weight waa then hardly twioe in amount
that of his daily supply of raw beef.” We can
thus form soma ides of tho enormous capacity
of the robin formakingway with insects, worms
and other foes of vegetable life.
Thus it will be seen that the robins which ap
pear in the South just on the breaking up of
winter and in early spring, and furnish so mnch
sport togunners, are heaven-sent messengers not
only to beautify the landscape.but to exterminate
the larva) of myriads of destructive insects which
is just ready to hatch and prey upon the young
vegetation. And when it is seen that each of
these birds destroys daily embryo insect life
amounting to more than his own weight, we can
readily understand what a fatal disturbance of
the harmonies and counterbalances of nature is
wrought by the wholesale massacre of these
birds alone.
All Fool*’Day.
This is the first of April, is it ? What do yon
think about it ? Did yon wake np to find your
eyelashes stack together with Spalding's Pre
pared Glue? Your hair tied to tho bed-post ?
A cat in your trowsera’ leg ? An egg in your
boot ? Cotton muffins for breakfast ? Cayenne
in your coffee? Did somebody, who proved in
visible, want to see yon at the door ? Did half
your niggers come lumbering up to know "what
on the ycarth Mossa wanted in rich a gall-
blasted bony ?" Did the Doctor drive to your
door express to set the broken leg of a china
doll? Did your cook come in blabbering to
say she never heered rich things said of her be
fore, and to know what yon meant by it ? Has
a very nice parcel of ashes been left for yon,
tied up with blue ribbons ? Have yon got a lot
of bogus letters from your grandmother ? Is
your pipe half filled with gnn-powder ? Have
yon barked your shins in a masked bole before
the door 1 Have you rushed out to the stable
to see a horse false colicked? Is your back
chalked? Did they grease your fork handle, or
pnt a crooked pin in your chair ? In a word,
and to sum it all up, have you been ‘Tooled ?”
If not, something is due to established custom—
something to reverence for antiquity and pre

Book by n mind Girl.
Miss Mary L. Day, who has been blind for
twenty yean, and who is a graduate of the Ma
ryland Institute for the Blind, has written a
book entitled “Incidents of a Blind Girl” It
is a handsome little volume, and presents an in
teresting statement of the author's life to the
present time. The work shows she has made
good use of her opportunity to acquire an edu
cation. The book is neatly bound, and is offer
ed at one dollar. Miss Day is in feeble health
and is endeavoring to earn a livelihood by the
sale of her literary work. She will call upon
our citizens to-day. We arc confident that she
will be kindly received and her book find a ready
sale. Tho unfortunate lady should be aided,
and her laudable endeavors meet with generous
encouragement. The volume will doubtless in
terest all readers, and we hope they will buy it
Dougherty County.
A private letter from a friend in Dougherty
county has this item of general interest:
"I am very busy in my crop, and doing as
well as conld be expected. My hands are all
working well. The farmers through this sec
tion arc all in a forward state of preparation.
Com np with all of us, and I find, as a general
ride, all are planting enough grain to do them.
If they have not pledged themselves too deeply
for manures which may not succeed according
to their expectations, they will hold the whip-
hand still with the cotton the coming season,
for a man who has plenty to eat at home will
not bo soared into sacrificing his crop,
think our farmers are getting wiser, and, al
though mightily tempted by the high prices
on cotton, ara still providing in some measure
for a reverse."

Editors Tdigraph—Gentlemen: Under the
above caption, I notice my name published as a
candidate for the office of County Commissioner,
and having been thus placed before the people
as an advocate for certain measures, it may not
perhaps, be regarded as improper for me to re
quest every voter in this county to do as I have
done myself, examine thoroughly everything
that can be said or urged for or against the pro
priety of adopting the elegant and chaste designs
of Messrs. Woodruff Brothers, and making oar
present City Hall one of the finest and most com
modious public edifices in the State, and having
thus examined the subject, to decide in such a
manner that the welfare of the community at
large maybe best secured with the least possible
outlay.
Facts and figures will not lie to oblige any man
or advance his own private interests, and with
facts and figures the voters of this city and coun
ty have now to deal.
In the first place, the entire cost of the con
templated improvements to the present City
Hall, at the time the Messrs. Woodruffs plans
were drawn was set down in round numbers at
thirty-six thousand four hundred dollars, and
,, J--:-™ -n .L??" net sixty thousand as stated by the writer who

T HE following gentlemen are proposed as Conn
Comissioners. anIf elected, will promptly an
energetically proceed With tbe tbor ouch drainage of
the Swamp, and carry out lha original intention of
the present Conncil and last Inferior Court as to tbe
location of the Conrt-honse st the City Hall;aodit
is believed they can do so, at a saving of forty or fifty
thousand dollars to the county.

mar.O-tde
morning. "The people from the country” can
readily prove this fact by examining the plan in
question. More than this, any practical me
chanic in this county knows very well that con
tractors would require nothing better than to
take the job to-day, at a third less rates, giving
bond and security for the faithful performance
of their contracts. Twenty-five thousand dol
lars would adjust all the claims from the com
mencement of these contemplated improve
ments to their completion.
But it is urged that the land on Mulberry
street will be donated to the dtiy, if the voters
of our city and county elect as County Commis
si oners men who will change the present locali
ty of our City HaH. Will it indeed? How
mnch land, gentlemen, comes in the shape of
donation? Does not every voter know very
well, that in order to erect the necessary build
ings required for the convenience of the city
and county upon this site, it will be an absolute
necessity for them to purchase, at a fabulous
price, the land immediately adjoining, which is
now owned by men at the North, who as a mat
ter of self interest look ont for Number One and
do not care a picayune for anything that will
secure the future welfare of this city or county ?
Tbe prioe which would have to be paid would
very nearly pay for all the contemplated im
provements, and give the city a commodious
edifice of which she might well be proud.
In the first place, our present City Hall is lo
cated where it may be seen from every road
leading into the city.
Secondly, the locality is remarkably healthy,
and, if no other argument were used, the health
of prisoners confined in the lower rooms should
not be lost sight of.
Thirdly, the addition of a splendid tower and
observatory, the look-out of which would be at
least one hundred feet above the main floor of
the building, would save the city thousands of
dollars eventually, by saving the property of onr
merchants and others from accidental fires.'
Fourth. In all publio assemblages, tho present
locality, it is well known, will enable ten thou
sand people, at least, to hear and understand
distinctly those of onr publio orators and states
men who may wish to dismiss tho questions of
the day with their constituents from the steps of
the City Hall. This would bo an utter impossi
bility wero the location changed to any other
point.
If no other objection could be brought for
ward, the extreme filthy condition of the newly
recommended site should condemn it at once.
Any intelligent medical man would pronounce
against it at onoe. Any Board ot Health Com.
misaioners would denounce such a site in un
measured terms.
From the fact that the county taxes have been
mado doable for the present year, every voter
should demand rigid economy on the part of
their publio servants. As a matter of fairness
and justice the plans of Messrs. Woodruff should
be publicly exhibited at the polls upon the dsy
of election so that every voter can vote know
ingly and underatandingly.
If we carry ont the plans of these gentlemen,
and the sooner it is done the better for all con
cerned, we can very well afford to let the swamp
question remain in abeyanoe for tho present, at
least Wo wish, and need, a corps of County
Commissioners who will labor for the interest
of the people at large, and not for the interests
of a favored fee to the exclusion of all the rest
Every voter in the oonnty has an interest in the
matter and should see for himself xml act per
fectly frew from the persuasion of others. My
own pecuniary interest would urge me to re
commend strongly the removal of onr City Hall
from its present site, to tho ono on Mulberry
street, but the interests of the entire peoplo of
this city and county force me to oppose this plan
i» suicidal to the future welfare of Macon and
its surroundings. Very respectfully yours,
E. Isaacs.

The Marriage or Priests in Italy.—The
question of priestly celibacy has come np once
more in Naples, and the right of priests to mar

upon he appealed to the Neapolitan courts, and
the result was in his favor. A similar decision
was rendered two years ago in Genoa.
