cal suggestions and more important statiscal needfni is to spado deep all aronnd them and
facts in loss space. First, it considers the-grand | r^ke the earth as friable as possible—and he
does this without lacerating tho roots of the
plants. Nor, in the case of the cotton patch al
luded to were the roots laoerated; bat by keep
ing the swingle-tree dear of the cotton limbs or
branches ail that dreadful catastrophe was avoid
ed. On the other hand, without deep culture
the soil of the patch, however deeply broken in
tho Spring, would have impacted nearly as
hard as ever during the cropping season. ^
And as for the yield, a little patch constantly
and closely picked cannot be white with cotton;
bnt two experienced planters from Pnlaaki gave
it as their opinion, that it would yield daring
the season at the rate of 4,000 pounds of seed
cotton to the acre, while the bolls are so large
that it is fonnd that sixty-five of them produce
a pound of seed cotton. The fibre ia also of
corresponding fineness and length.
Now, let ns understand the point at issue.—
There is mneh—very mach of the soil of Geor
gia to which deep culture may not be so essen
tial. We have much of a loose, sandy soil
which does not readily impact and which, brok
en np thoroughly in the Spring will remain com
paratively light and friable till cropping is
That soil may readily fulfil all its func
tions pretty well with surface culture, although
it would do them better with at least one good
lifting as the cotton begins to branch smartly.
Bat, on the other hand, there are onr fine red
clay soils, which, we think, are on the whole
the most valuable in the State. That foil will
impact again in a comparatively short time af
ter breaking np, and mere surface culture will
leave it in no favorable condition to convey to
the roots of the plants the air and moisture nec
essary to their vigorous development
Mr. Guslln’s Cotton I’ntcli.
Editor* Telegraph: Mneh hss been said
about this little cotton patch, and very deserv
edly, for it demonstrates one very important
principle in agriculture—deep preparation of
the soiL Mr. Gnstin misplaces the grand secret
of success in this pstch—if indeed it be a sac-
when ho refers it to the deep cultivation.
To my mind, from all the descriptions given, it
is far leas the cultivation than the preparation
and firtUuation at the soil that make this patch
look so fine nnder the dronght that has prevailed
this season.
I like to ee» things referred to their proper
sources; and certainly the progress of agricul
ture requires compliance with this motto. Facts
shonld be properly accredited—not distorted to
the support of fancy theories. In the esse be
fore na there is nothing to s ns tain the proposi
tion that deep culture made tho crop, bat suffi
cient reason for believing that the crop was made
despite the deep cultivation.
Mr. Gnstin started right in making his land
rioh and breaking it very deep ; and in these
very steps consist the whole secret. The deep
collate did not promote, bnt only retarded, the
growth and production of the plant. The crop
wcnld have been mneh better had the system of
surface cultivation been adopted. It wonld have
matured earlier, and a large crop of cotton
would already have been open—ready for pick
ing. Every time yon cat the roots of a plant
yon arrest its growth, and every root yon cat in
jures the plant in proportion.
Nature never pnta forth a root that ia not nec
essary for the support of tho plant Most of the
lateral roots in Mr. Go*tin’s patch most have
been cut every time he ploughed it, for he as
serts that he cultivated abont as deep as ho pro-
pared the land, which he savs was about 20
? * “ —>u say, Mr. Editor, that
question of wbnt ought to be the policy of tho
State Road, more especially in reference to tho
development of the great material and industri
al interests of Georgia; and we ars sure that,
upon this point, the intelligent reader will be
pleased with the breadth, liberality and sound-
ness of the view s suggested sad tho policy in
part carried out by Colonel Halbert.
Next wo have, in startling array, the immi
nent dangers which menaco the profitable exis
tence of this great property of tho State, and
suggestions in detail of countervailing remedies
which will put the road npon a secure and indo-
pendent footing in virtue of a permanent, self,
created trade.
This address is the result of much thought
and patient investigation, and treats of topics
trauscendcntiy important to tho State and the
pcopl<-. It has no oth-r political bearing than
the best method of preserving, administering
and u«ing a great State property for the beat in
terests of the Slate, and it presents, in a forci
ble light, topics which must come before tho
hicgislatnro for their deliberation and action un
less they are willing to soe that groat proporty
interest, tho Western and Atlantic road, sunk
into practical worthlessness for tho lackof timely
action to supply losses of business inevitable on
account of competing lines.
Improving.
The Mncon Tr.t.zoxrn apologises for the spe
cial invitation sent to Beast Butler to attend tho
Macon Fair. It says Batler was invited as a
Congressman, nnd not as a man. Might it not
bo said, also, by way of apology for the infa
mous doeds committed by him in the South and
upon Southern pooplo, that they were merely
committed in his character of Heart, and not as
tiifi'in ’—AllfVStO Chronicle and Sentinel of the
23d inrt.
Tho Micox Tsunami had no concern in
inviliug General Butler, and did not, therefore,
apologise for tho net. The Teuxobaph, however,
explained that tho invitation resulted probably
from tho general orders of tho Executive Com
mittee to invite tho Membors of Congress—or
ders given withont any recollection that General
Butler was one of them or with the slightest de
sign to extend tho invitation to him, and that it
was, in fact, a “ mere inadvertence. This ex
planation ia perverted and distorted in manner
form ns above, by the Chronicle and Sentinel.
Again, in response to anothor paragraph hav
ing the samo general objeet, wo beg leave to as
sure tho Chronicle that the President of tho
Central is commonly termed in Macon “ Gen.
Wadley”—not in respect to sny local good or
evil ho may purpose or accomplish for this
place, but simply becauso the Confederate
States conferred that title npon him, and not the
rank and title of Colonel, as the Republican and
Chronicle and Sentinel suppose.
Tho Mill’ll I*olnt.
The events of tho last few years havo strength-
ened tho conviction of sagacious observers that
the South is destined in futnre, as in the past,
tobothn greatsonrceof tho world's supply of this
. isasatial article, alnoe there is scarcely a limit
to its production in that field, nnder a liberal
application of capital and an adequate supply of
labor, which, it may be taken for granted, will
be found olsowhero.’ In viow of the constantly
tightening hold which cotton has upon commerce,
there is everywhere a manifest disposition to
make a concerted and determined effort to re
cover the ground which was lost daring the
hellion. There are several important elements
in this problem, which constitute a strong in-
c-entive to the rehabilitation of the great staple.
Tho foregoiDg is from the New York Shipping
nnd Commercial List of the 18th, nnd ia a con
cession assuring the whole fnture of the South.
The cotton supplies of tho world mast come
from Southern soil, and if one kind of labor is
inefficient or insufficient, another or more is
compelled to be had. The work most go on—
the crop must bo increased far beyond its high
est original dimensions, and this settled fact as
sures us progress and improvement—increased
populat ion—increased value of lands—increased
wealth. As onr cotton product increases nnd
prices fall, the decline will bo chocked by the
falling off in the foreign supply until fin all}’, t
we believe, the Southern States will acquiro
complete monopoly in cotton production.

Gold Gambling.—Wo are inclined to believe
that there is a mistake in tho reported gold quo
tations at tho morning board yesterday. If so,
tho evening report, when it comes, will rectify
it. Bnt if gold jumped down, in a quarter of an
hour, from 162 to 136 and a fraction, the Gov
ernment had probably stepped in as a bear and
floored the speculators. The Government has
or had about two millions gold in Now York, and
was in pfime condition to slaughter tho gold
hulls. There was fearful bellowing yesterday,
if the report is true.
Burned to Death.—Three negroes were swal
lowed up in a terrible conflagration now raging
in the dismal swamp. They were employed
there, and the fire surrounded them while asleep
in a hut and burned them to a crisp.
Heavy Fluctuation—Tho noon dispatches
say at 12 m. yesterday gold was 162. Fifteon
minutes later it fell to 1364. If there's no mis
take in the figures we should call that a heavy
fluctuation in the course of fifteen minutes.

whole of this deeply pulverised soil has become
a net-work of these lateral roots.” At what time
during tho season was this net-work of roots
formed? Certainly not during the season of cul
tivation, for the “ subsoil lifter" must have tom
them np every time it went along. These roots
innst have sprung forth, then, subsequent to tho
last ploughing: Consequently, tho lateness of
the crop and tho green, luxuriant appearance of
the patch tho middlo of September, when it
ought to havo been white as snow with tho
“fleecy staple.”
I consider this patch a failure, Mr. Editor,
because of tho gouging, root-cutting culture.
It is not what it ought to be with tho fertilizers
used. It is too lato. The October frosts will
catch it The eery liberal application of Gus-
tin’s Rawbono Superphosphate, together with
the deep breaking and subsoiling of the land,
fully explains all that is claimed for this patch.
Had it been cultivated differently, tho early and
lato roots of tho cotton allowed to penetrate this
deeply pulverised and rich soil, without moles
tation, tho crop wonld havo been far better, and
Mr. Gnstin would havo been enjoying a better
reputation as a scientific agriculturist He
compounds an excellent fertilizer, bnt ho can
not pnrnp it into cotton bolls like Mr. Dickson.
His subsoil lifter won’t compare with tho Dick
son sweep; and his far-famed little cotton patch
I apprehend, will never whiten with cotton
bolls like Dickson’s hundred aero fields.

Homicide in Donghcrty.
1Ye have, says tho Albany News of tho 21th,
to chronicle another ono of those horrible out
rages incident to freedom and the abnse of the
pardoning power.
Mr. J. W. Jaudon, son-in-law of Mr. Dyke, of
this county, and the manager on his plantation
a few miles below this city, was stabbed and in
stantly killed on Tuesday evening last by Joe
Smith, a colored employee on the place.
The circumstances, as we learn them, show
fiendish malice and a murderous purpose in tho
heart of the negro.
It is said that tho negro has, on some recent
occasion, been detected in cotton-stealing, bnt
was not prosecuted, and continued the practice.
Mr. Jaudon found out that he was stealing Mr.
Dyke’s cotton, and selling it to a man by the
name of Holcome, who keeps a shop in the
neighborhood. He went to seo Holcombe, who
told him that he had been baying cotton from
Joe. Mr. Jaudon informed him that Joe was
stealing the cotton, and requested him to buy
no more from him.
Tuesday evening, when the negroes came np
with the day's picking to the ginhouse, Joe
made some remark to Mr. Jaudon abont the ac
cusation of cotton stealing. Mr. Jaudon told
him that he had been stealing Mr. Dyke's cot
ton and threatened him with prosecution. Joe
told him that he was a “ damned liar," and leap
ing from the wagon dared him to come down off
the platform. Mr. Jaudon went down and ap
proached Joe, who was cursing and abusing
him. A few words passed and they got hold of
each other, when Joe plunged a knife into his
heart and he died almost instantaneously.
Joe fled, and though the country has been
sconred for him, he has not been arrested. He
is a tall, stout, yellow negro, and bears a had
character.

Tlic New York Gold and Stock Panic.
The Western press dispatches give the follow
ing report of scenes in Wall street cn Wednes
day:
The scenes and excitement on the stock ex
change and in the gold room to-day bring vivid
ly to the minds of old speculators the stirring
times in Wall street during the palmy days of
the rebellion. In the morniDg the chief events
were a panic in railroad shares, depression in
governments, demoralization of foreign ex
change, stringency in money and the gold mar
ket. Amid the surrounding depression the
principal centre of all motion early in the day
was the lower hall of the stock exchange, which
presented a tumultuous assemblage of excited
and anxions brokers, yelling in the most frantic
maimer, all eager to sell stocks and save them
selves from being wiped out along with their
customers’ margin. The slaughter of the public
by the large decline of the day was great, and
has completely wiped from the snrface of Wall
street an array of small speculators on the bull
side of the market.
As the day wore on the excitement and activ
ity in the stock market died out, and compart
rive quiet and dullness reigned on stock ex
change. Throughout the afternoon, in the long
room, stock experienced fitful rallies and there
was considerable recovery from the lower prices
of the morning, more especially in Vanderbilt’s
stock, but an unsettled feeling prevailed and
purchases went largely to recover short con
tracts, the bull element being severely crippled
by heavy losses consequent in the decline of
the past few days. Brokers are beginning to be
alarmed for their remaining margins, and as to
the difficulty of carrying stocks, in view of the
money stringency and the increasing want of
confidence. In the afternoon the excitement
was transferred to the gold room, and here re
curred the scenes which equalled those conse
quent on the recent illness of the Emperor
Napoleon.
In the morning the panic on Stock Exchange |
induced a perfect flood of short sales which only I
caused a decline of per cent. After the |
