Call for a Farmers’ Club.
Joseph Clitby, E*]., Vice President Slate Agricul
tural Society :
We, the undersigned, request that you call a meet
ing of the planters, farmers and gardeners of this
county, on Satnrday, the 17th inst., at ten o'clock
A. x., at the City Hall in Macon, for the purpose of
organizing a Fanners' Club for Bibb county. We
desire all who feel an interest in the formation of
tliia Club, in the improvement cf agriculture and
liorticultqre, to be present. The Stale Agricultural
Fair will be held in tliis county this year. Bibb
county has no Agricultural Club. There is a large
Agricultural interest in this county—residents here,
who are interested in.other counties. We invite all
to attend. Respectfully,

Heartily concurring in tho above suggestion, I beg
leave to express the hope that, on the day and in
the place namod, every citizen of the county inter
ested in such an organization will report himself in
person to assist in organizing the Farmers’ Club of
Bibb county. JOS. CT.T8BY,
Crops in Georgia.
As we get into the critical months and stages
of tho crops, complaints multiply, although
still quite exceptional. A large portion of Cen
tral and Southwestern Georgia is still blessed
with timely and sufficient showers; but there
are localities which are, or were by last accounts,
suffering from drought, and the people are ex
tremely impatient of this drought on account of
the critical stage of the com crop, which makes
rain peculiarly necessary. Com is now earing
—the grain is forming and rain is essential to a
satisfactory product.
Portions of nearly all the counties in South
western and middle Georgia are, howover, quite
dry, while it is probable that the greater part of
nearly all of them have had ahowera within the
past week. There have boen showers on nearly
tho whole lino of the Central railroad, and, in
onr more immediate vicinity, Jones and parts
of Crawford, Pntnam, Jasper and Monroe have
had abundant showers. The skies do not seem
to augurdrougth, and we trust all of our planters
will yet have rain enough to save their com
crops.
As for cotton, it is as yet entirely healthy and
promising. Scattering oomplainta of rust, boll-
vorm and caterpillar oome to ns, bnt wo think
they are groundless or at least with very insuffi
cient foundation. The crop is fall of extraor
dinary promise, and nothing has yet occurred to
impair the prospect.
Can’t Raise Corn.
We bog onr friend, tho “Farmer," near By
ron, to note that we advise nobody to raise
com who cannot do it Onr suggestions aro
necessarily general, and intended for regions
where the ordinary laws of nature prevail; and
if, by mischance, he geta into a spot where thoy
aro suspended or abrogated, we fully agree
with him that it is of no use to fight against na
ture. Wo aro sore to be whipped in such a
contest; and it is better for^ts to “knock un
der" at once, and to conform onr arrangements
of evety kind to such exceptional conditions as
experience hath tanght ns to forecast and an
ti cipato.
Tho best and only oonree, in foot, which wo
can pursue, is to treat farm and plantation poli
cy in their general aspects and bearings, leaving
each reader to decide upon their practical ap
plication to himself, according to bis own judg
ment and tho conditions which surround him.

Hi i- *. Rice. Wheat. Hoar, Naval Stores, etc.,
amounted in value to only $2,672,584.
How large a part of the 358,679 bales of cot
ton shipped from Savannah was grown outside
of Georgia we have no means of determining.
The Central Railroad and Atlantic and Golf
Railroad books would show pretty closely; bnt
it is true, nevertheless, that cotton of outside
growth was brought to Savannah by the Florida
steamers. If wo put it at one half—then 179,-
339 bales of Georgia cotton were shipped from
Savannah. Then of tho eighty or ninety thous
and bales received at Augusta a considerable
amount of Georgia cotton must have been
shipped through Apalachicola and Femandina.
Probably the true Georgia crop was somewhere
between two hundred and two hundred and
twenty-fivo thousand bales.
Our Savannah contemporaries, with a little
inquiry, can give os much more satisfactory and
reliable estimates. But it is pretty clear that
tho crop of Georgia, which, in 1860 was over
five hundred thousand bales, has shrank to less
than one-half what it used to be, and the New
York Times’ estimate of sn increased product
in Georgia founded solely (as we suppose) upon
increased shipments from the port of Savannah
is lamentably erroneous. Suppose our friend
of the Repnbliesn corrects our guess work by
figures from the railway books.

lowing :
Washdjgtox, July 8.—The result of the Vir
ginia election is the absorbing topic of conver
sation in political circles here to-night. Prom
inent Conservative Republican politicians from
Mississippi and Texas express themselves con
fident that the Conservative cause in those
States will receive an impetus by the result in
the Virginia election which will insure those
States to the Conservatives by large majorities.
They are now anxiously awaiting an official
order from the President assigning a day for the
elections there.
A card is published here this afternoon an

The following telegram, from two of the Gov

Sis- Feanclsco. June 26. 1666.
We have been over the two Pacific Railroads
from Omaha to Sacramento, almost all by day
light, at the rate of thirty miles an hour and
more, and we find them" to be as good as any
new roads ever made in this country. Where
they are not perfected as from Echo Canon to
Humboldt, hundreds of laborers are now per
fecting the work as fast as possible. We are
satisfied that all has been done in good faith.

A delegation of Mississippi Republicans, now-
in Washington, have tendered to Judge Lewis

Railway Consolidation—Affairs in
Columbia.
On Wednesday last, a meeting of the Stock
holders on the Columbia and Augusta Railroad,
i held in Colombia, to take into consideration
prepositions for consolidation with the Char
lotte and South Carolina Railroad After much
debate the consolidation was voted by yeas 10,-
163, nays 1,437. The scheme adopted is as fol-
Each share of stock in the Charlotte and
South Carolina Railroad Company shall be con
verted into a share in the consolidated com
pany ; and every four and one-half shares of
stock in tho Columbia and Augusta Railroad
Company shall be converted into a share ih tho
consolidated company; and where, in the last
named appointment, fractions of a share may
result, tho owners there may, at their option,
oomptate the unit by paying for the necessary
additional shares of Colombia and Augusta
Railroad stock, at the rate of $12 50 per share;
or they may receive pay for their surplus shares
at the same rate.
A correspondent of the Augusta Constitution
alist, who attended the Stockholders’ meeting in
Colombia, reports crops good along tho line of
road, and the negroes giving satisfaction. Co
lombia was improving and gradually obliter
ating Sherman's handiwork. Business was dull.

In Georgia we fail to approximate a doe ap
preciation at the humiliation to which our Ger-
olina friends are subjected in the enthronement
of tho ebony idol of Radicalism as tho controll
ing power of a State government which has
been adorned in its administration by tho pur
est men and brightest intellects of which onr
sister State has been so prolific in the past So
utterly repulsive is this ulcerated fungus to all
the education and refinement of tho better ele
ment of society in the State, that their piety is
severely tested by the temptation to invoke a
moving of tho infernal regions to swallow up oat

Contour, is tho name of tho iron clad dis
patched to Santiago de Cuba, to inquire into all
the circumstances attending the execution of
Spikeman, and if necessary, to demand prompt
reparation by the Spanish authorities.
Several of the heaviest iron-clads will soon
be dispatched to the Cuban coast The Dicta
tor will be prepared in six or eight days to pro
ceed thither, and the Seminolo will be ready to
morrow.
Those of the vessels comprising the present
squadron have been obliged to leave the Cuban
waters, owing to the prevalence of yellow fever
on board. Within the next week twenty vessels
win be available for public service in that direc
tion, and elsewhere. There is no reason to be
lieve that Admiral Hoff will bo relieved of the
command of tho squadron in the Cuban waters,
unless a request should come from himself, as
was ascertained to day at the Navy Department,
from an authentic source.
The' authorities deny that they find any fault
with him on account of his official oondnet.
A dispatch was received from Mississippi to

On Tuesday, Frederick Gerreld, a young

The New Yoke Commekciai. Ad
Geoboia.—That paper of the 7th says:
The wisdom of Congressinlesvingtho trouble
some difficulty concerning tho expulsion of tho
members of the Legislature to tho decision of
the Bupreme Court, is now becoming apparent.
By the decision just givon, which Alexander H.
Stephens himself affirms is in accordance with
law, negroes are not excluded from holding
office. The course of the Legislature, therefore,
in expelling those possessing so mnch as a drop
of negro blood in their veins, is shown to have
been -which we have always maintained —
shameful, arbitrary and illegal. It now remains
for the Legislature to take the. back trade and
reseat the expelled members.
If the Commercial Advertiser, (which seems
to be forgetting all its ancient justice and mod
eration,) would consider for a moment, he conld
not fail to see in two facta tho amplest evidence
that the decision of the Legislature was not arbi
trary. The first of these is, that the court, al
though composed wholly of so-called Republi
cans, was as nearly equally divided as it could
be. The second is that the majority, in affirm
ing th6 eligibility of the negroes, based the af
firmation on different grounds,only one of them
finding the right in the Constitution.
From Thomas County.
The ThomasviUe Southern Enterprise, of tho
7th inst, reports crops good all over that sec
tion. Some localities aro too dry, and others
too wet; but, as a general thing, there is no
just ground for complaint Corn, cotton, oats
sugar cane, potatoes, peas, beans, and evciy-
thing else, aro doing very welt Some rust is
reported in the cotton crop, and an insect is
depredating on its foliage, devouring the under
surface of tho leaf. This insect is nearly a
quarter of an inch in length, bnt ia not othor-
wise described. The Enquirer says :
Arthur P. Wright, Esq., planted last foil 100
acres of land in oats. The cold, ho thinks,
killed one half tho stand, and six ncres of the
field were old worn out soil covered with broom-
sedge, and Mr. Wright considers 65 acres of
the land very fair. He has now harvested the
crop and informs ns that he housed 12000 bun
dles averaging in weight 3} pounds or 42000
pounds in round numbers. 'Multiply this by 75
cents the value of oats per hundred in this mar
ket, and Mr. Wright made $3,150.00 on oats
with an expense of less than $150 00.
The Enterprise also says Mr. Wright has
three-eights of an acre in Boyd’s Prolifio cotton
which is about waist high and will average a
hundred forms each stalk.

Trespass.-—A writer in the Constitutionalist
complains bitterly about the inadequate reme
dies against trespass on landed premises, and
Bays if there were no other reason against dis
pensing with enclosures, the fact that fields
without fences would be turned into roadways
and ruined, would be an almost insuperable ob
jection to dispensing with enclosures.

The Covington Enterpriso of Friday morning
says:
Although some portions of Newton county
have been favored with rains sufficient to keep

The Fence Question and a Stock Law.—On
Tuesday, the 6th instant, the Livingston Agri
cultural Club, of Newton county, had a report
and a public discussion in the Court-house upon
the policy of enacting a stock law and aband
oning the use of fences. The report is from a
special committee of five members, and takes
strong ground in favor of the proposition. An
animated discussion followed the reading which
consumed the entire session of tho club, and,
on motion, a final vote upon it was postponed
to the first Tuesday in September, and the other
counties of the State were earnestly requested'
to consider and give an expression of their views
upon the subject. We will publish the report
and proceedings when we cep find room for

A Singular Incident.—A rare exception to
the laws of instinct, occurred at the residence
of Judge McC. Neal, in Covington, last week.
A cat, with a litter of kittens, occupied a box in
the house ; and five young rats were seen among
the kittens, to which the cat seemed as devotee,
as to her own pffspring. She nursed them all
together some days; after which she killed some
of them and continued nursing the remainder
until at last ahe devoured the last of her little
proteges, with as little apparent remorse as is
exhibited by the present rulers in “the best
government the world ever saw," when they
trample on the Constitution of the country.

The trial of the model of the air-ship Avitor

successful by the Times, while the Ait* says the
performance was something like a failure.—
The wind was blowing so hard that it was im
possible to make the experiment in the open
air, so the trial waa made under cover. The
ship rose in the air and was propelled backward
and forward, being guided any desired direction
by the steering apparatus. It is claimed that
the present Avitor is no criterion of success.—
Its machinery is so trifling, the engines and
boiler weighing less than a hundred pounds,
that its failure or success would be no matter of
surprise.

Boutwell Master or the Situation and the
Coming Man.—The specials to tho Cincinnati
Commercial, (a radical paper,) say it is settled
in radical circles that Boutwell is to bo plsyed
for the succession. The writer says:
It was generally understood that President
Grant has turned over tho administration of tho
Government to the Cabinet, and that he takes
little or no interest in what is going on. HU
influence with hU Cabinet Ministers is daily be
coming leas, while their power over him is daily
becoming stronger.
If General Grant is now a candidato for re-
election, ho very soon will not be one. HU in
fluence and hU mantle will quietly and gently
fall upon Mr. Boutwell, whose wise and states
manlike administration of the Trensury has giv
en entire satisfaction to all the solid moneyed
men of the country.

President is mnch changed since his accession

going on about him—smokes incessantly, and
carries the aspect of a jaded and disappointed
OBITUARY.
Martha Ann Jones, wife of Bennett Jones, was
bom May 10,1822, and died in Twiggs county, June
9.1869, of dropsy, in the 47th year of her age.
Mrs. Jones wss a member of the Baptist Church,
having joined the church many years ago at Ever
green, Pulaski county, under the ministry of Bev.
George McCall. Her religion was a religion of
principle—it was the work of the Spirit inwrought
in the heart, and manifesting itself in the life, con
duct and conviction of onr deceased slater. In all
the relations of life, she gave dear, demonstrative
proof of the soundness of her conversion, and the
genuineness of her religion. As a wife, she was af
fectionate, dutiful, kind, considerate of her hoe*
band's true interests—in a word, her entire obliga
tions at the Hymenial Altar were fully met and dis
charged, in a true Christian spirit. As a mother,
she loved her children, prayed for them, and en
deavored to train them up in the “nurture and ad
monition of the Lord.” Her children—those of
theih old enough to appreciate her maternal love,
and labor in their behalf—rise up and call her
blessed. As a member of the church and society,
she was active in the charities and social amenities
of life.
Her passive virtues are as conspicuous as her ao-
tive. For mouths the subject of painful afflictions,
the bore np with a fortitude and patient resignation
pre-eminently Christian. God was “too wise to err,
and too good be unkind.” This was the language
of her heart.
We might expect that such a life, so richly adorn
ed with such Christian virtues and graces, would be,
what it waa, a death of calm, holy, painful triumph.
Shots gone—gone to tho better land! And, while
her husband and children, and largo circle of ap
preciative friends and neighbors, bereaved and sad,
weep for her departure, they sorrow not as thorn
who have no hope—bat they joyfully look forward
to a happy union in the Gob-built City.

From Cedar Valley.
A correspondent of tho Romo Courier has
been down to Cedar Valley, in Polk county.
Ho says:
A huge breath of land in tho Valley has been
planted in cotton, bnt there seems only about
one-third of a stand, which is very low for the
season. Corn is looking finely. The founda
tion for o new Conrt-hottso is being laid, and,
from the energy being exhibited, there ia reason
to believe it will Boon be completed, and it will
greatly add to the beauty of this pleasant “cot
tage villa.”
1 examined some lands near tho town recently
sold by Mr. Wm. Peck, for one hundred dollars
per acre. He sold five hundred acres for fifty
thousand dollars, and taking into consideration
the actual yield of those acres for several years
post, connected with the fact that there aro no
gullies and galled spots covering one.fonrth of
their area, they are the best investment of the
surplus capital of the farmer. My friend, Mr.
Peck, will paTdon me for bringing to the public
notice of young men, farmers particularly, his
succors os a planter and manager. He moved
to this Valley, from Middle Georgia, about six
teen years ago, and bought lands here ranging
from ten to forty dollars per acre, and up to this
time, has invested one hundred and sixteen
thousand dollars in lands, all of which ore good.
He pointed out scores of acres that had frequent
ly yielded one bale of cotton to the acre, with
out manure—he never uses manures.
