ATLANTA, TUESDAY, JULY 1.
-A Kind. Compliment,
The Savannah Advertiser and Republican,
in an article announcing the absorption of
the Sun by Tub Constitution, concludes as
follows: “Tire Constitution, with in
creased strength, can now far outstrip com
petition, and retain more firmly the position
it has occupied, as the leading paper of
Atlanta.”
nr. c. n. c. Willingham.
In the confusion attendant upon the trans
fer of the San, we have postponed a notice
of our brother journalist of that paper, Mr.
0. H. C. Willingham. A high toned, consci
entious, able and laborious editor, we regret
to lose him from the ranks—in fact, we trust
we shall not, but that he may be induced to
connect himself with some journal in the
State. We doubt not that he will be solicited
to do so. His services should not be lost to
the journalism of Georgia.
The natch of Cholera.
By reference to our special dispatches it
will be seen that cholera is on tho decrease
at Nashville, hat seems to be marching east
ward, increasing somewhat at Chattanooga.
On our local page will be found an inter
esting article from Rev. Dr. Haygood on the
state of things in Nashville. We are glad to
learn that matters are not so bad as some re
ports indicate, but the Doctor’s letter gives
evidence enough that its ravages, and the re-
suits consequent, have been most disastrous.

Subscribers, Advertisers
Readers Generally.
and
Several days will necessarily elapse before
the work of transferring tho subscriptions
and advertisements of the .Sun to this journal
will or can be fully carried out.
If any city snb-cribers of the San fail to rc-
edvoTne Constitution, they will please
UPTii"’ 1 '" at our office. By their assistance
"*** we can Btralghten out very quickly the mam
moth circulation of The Constitution.
The above reeson, together with the great
pressure from new advertisements this morn-
in?, will explain the non appearance of other
advertisiog matter.
THE CONSTITUTION.

stitution of the Atlanta
Sun and Consequent
Heavy Increase of
Circulation.
Tlic c»i nt a.-l forth in cards, appearing in
this issue, from the proprietors of this jour
nal nml Hon. Alexander H. Stephens, is one
which msrks’another great step in the suc
cess of The Ciinstitution, and calls for the
warm congratulations of its many friends
and hosts of readers.
The Atlanta Sun, having been merged into
this paper, its daily and weekly subscribers
bare been transferred to Tire Constitution,
which will with to-morrow’s issue begin to
visit the thousands who have been the readers
of the former journal. The powerful ad
vantages resulting to The Atlanta Consti
tution cannot lie over eatimated; some of
which let us briefly state.
In the first place, the Hun. A. II. Slephena
adopts Tine Constitution as the medium
through which he will hereafter address the
people, and give them the benefit of bis
counsel evoked from the experience of a life
devoted to bis country and passed amid ils
most stirring scenes. We have differed with
him in the post, and shall possibly
differ with him in tbe future in political
matters anf party p iliey, but such differences

Lexington looks charged to me, and not
tbe village of my youth. Thestrects are not
so long, nor do the houses cover so much
ground ss I once thought. Tis true the
school house where I struggled over the
pontarinorum in mathematics, still stands,
but my old desk with pen knife inscriptions
of amo, Miss 8.” is gone, and my teacher of
that day now docs credit to himself in his
rest on the Supreme Court bench of the
State, The old school house locks con
tracted, nor does its chimneys pierce the
clouds and seem to prop the skies as'they
once did. It is a hard saying out of that sad
book, Ecclesiastes, which declares the in*
crease of knowledge to be the increase of
sorrow. An inereascd knowledge shows that
the mists which hang around my memory, as
I am passing into the sear and yellow leaf,
had obscured my visions of the past. ■
LEXINGTON
is still an interesting, pleasant town. Many
descendants of those mentioned above reside
here, and a number of excellent new citizens
have been added to the community. The
young ladies maintain the reputation their
older sisterB enjoyed when I lived here, for
beauty, intelligence and worth.

Bad cooking has caused more than one-

world. A good dinnercauses good digestion;
this brightens the faculties, preserves our
strength of judgment and makes life cheer

I It would not be safe for either of my
brother bachelor editors to visit Oglethorpe,
for you know Howitt says, farm houses are
dangerous places. In these sylvan retreats,
dreeming of mockirg birds and thinking
only of sheep, yon are taken by surprise, ana
are suddenly shot through by a pair of bright
eyes, and are melted away in a bewildering
smile that yon never dreamed cf until the
mischief is done. Fair as the lily, fresh as
May dew, graceful as the peacock, and sweet
as a posy of violets, you are lost before you
can think. Among the barrel churns and
rows of bee hives you are stung by the queen

Agriculture in Ibis county was once re
garded os a simple a t to be successfully im
parted from father to son. Once tbe earth
was compelled to prodnee tbe largest return
with tbe least possible onllay of time and la
bor. This constituted the chief study of
most cultivators of tbe soil, and when land
was exhausted it was abandoned for virgin
fields. Many of tbe fair portions of this
county were run over by planters destroy ing
timber and soil, who, like a small army of
locusts, left a desert in their tracks. Now,
this lamentable style of lillsge is being abol
ished, snd farmers base their system on an
exact acquaintance with tbe laws regulating
vegetable nutrition and the action of chctnf
cal agents upon tbe soil; in short, upon pa
tient and laborious triertific analysis andex-
icrimcnts. The consequence is, every year
ands thus looked after and cultivated arc
becoming more and moro valuable, and a class
of intelligent farmers are springing op in the
connty, who arc unwilling to goover and over
the old process; who will not follow in the
beaten path of their ancestors; planting as
they planted—wasttag as they wasted the el

the lands, and contribute to the wealth and
social prosperity of the connty.

Dear Constitution : We are speeding swift
ly home at 33 miles an hoar, over as beauti
fnl a country as I have ever seen. As far as
the eye can reach, on both sides of the road,
are illimitable expanses of luxuriant wheat
One boundless reach of splendid grain fades
into the horizon.
This road runs from St Louis through
Evansville to Nashville. It is the shortest
route from Nashville to St Louis or Chicago
Major Morrill, a relative of Colonel Morrill,
the State Road Treasurer, is the Supcrinten
dent Mr. Goodnow changed the route for
our return home by this road, and the Super
intendent most liberally perfected all the ar
rangements. A belter road I never traveled
over, and the picturesque fanning country,
with its cultured breadth of waiving grain,
rendered the passage beautiful to the vision.
While ridirg I will tell The Constitu

SUMMER PORK PACKING.
I saw nothing more novel than a summer
pork packing institution. This is n new idea,
jnst patented and is destined to revolution
ize the bacon trade, in the opinion of many
very sagacious men. Hitherto the winter
has been the season for preparing hog meat
for the world’s gastronomy, and the depend
ence upon the cold reason has affected to a
l.rgc extent the market No matter what
the necessities of provision demand, the world
mast wail for tbe frigid winter to renew the
supply.
Bnt in this as in other things, human inge
nuity baa aroused its powets to overcoming
the impediments- of nature. Some sharp
fellow has bit upon the idea of creating an
artificial winter atmosphere in which to care
pork. We visited the immense establishment
of Maxwell and somebody else which kills a
thousand hogs a day in these hot days of
June. On the ground floor an immense
room, peculiarly constructed, is filled with a
thousand tons of ice Beneath it arc two
stories of rooms connected with it, in
which the ice makes a gennine winter
status. Certain air passages and cute contri
vances enable them to regulate the tempera
ture. The truth is that the thing is better
than the original, the artificial better than
nature’s cold, for tho artificial has absolute
uniformity.
We went over the entire establishment, and
were struck with man’s novel and daring
enterprise. Wc predict that it will not
be long before the thing will become
general It is profitable. At least Mr. Max
well says it is. The ice wastes very little.
Hngc hogsheads of hams jnst cured were
ready for shipment.
You will agree with me that this la a novel

Special Correspondence Atlanta Constitution.]
Milledgeville, Ga., June 20,1873.
The languid tourist, and even tho busy
commercial traveler, samples in hand, stand
ing in the main street of his venerable old
capital, will hardly fail to notice a lofty and
sombre dome crowning the green Midway
bills two miles away. This, ob, reader, is
the object of our sketch, and a prouder mon
ument of man’s humanity to man will
hardly be found in this sunny land. Procu
ring a conveyance, your correspoadent pio-
cecded up the long hill leading to the Asy
lum and soon found himself in front of its
imposing walls. Entering at once, we were
shown to the office of Dr. T. 0. Powell and
Dr. Kenan, and on making known the object
of our visit, immediately commenced, under
the urbane guidance of Dr. Powell, our tour
of observation. This was one of rare inter
est, and as there are many iu our State who
have afflicted and loved friends in the Asy
lum, we propose to have them briefly accom
pany us. -MlNraMMV I
Our first entry among the patients was in
the hall, where are confined females, whose
lunacy is of a mild and harmless type. Many
of them arc obscure persons whose imbecility
is the result of intemperance of parents, ac
companied by the wretched poverty incident
to their unfortunate class.
Wo were next led into the halls where the
“finer frenzy” predominates. Here the ten
der humanitarian will find much to touch
his heart and cause him to thank God for the
strength of L13 intellect and the healthy fire
of his eye. On entering this department we
were approached by a patient whose black,
intelligenteyeandBtrikingfealures indicated
happier days—she was once, we were in
formed,
BEAUTIFUL GEORGIA EELLE,
whom Representatives had looked np in the
balconies of the House to admire. On ask
ing us the time she also asked if our watch
was from Geneva. A remark about the pris
oner of Chillon indicated to us the refinement
and the culture she had received before
reason was snatched away.
The next face that interested us was that
of a young married lady. Her eye was n
lustrous and beautiful brown, and her face
sad and pale from recent sickness. Coming
np to the doctor, she spoke to him of her
condition, and seemed cheered by his liope-
fcl words. In the reception room of this hail
we noticed a thoughtful and intelligent young
woman reading tbe Sacred Scriptures. She
is nt times violent, but seemed completely
subdued when reading tbe Bible.
Old Mrs. -, the "Queen of the Ides,”
also joined os, and entered into a brisk and
animated conversation. She is fat an rosy,
and with her crown of crimson roses on her
head strolls the coiridors in loyal state. She
was once an educated .and brilliant w'msn
as fragments of her conversation plainly in,
dicale. She is an inmate of seventeen years
standing, and wanted to send Governor Smith
a letter by ns.
Our observations among the female Inna-
tic3 were exceedingly interesting. As we
passed on many would shake our hands and
ask about their friends and homes. One dear
old woman whose face indicated the true
mother, and whom we judge to have been the
head of an interesting family, asked many
questions about her own people, and ques
tions nbont some of onrown name, whom,to
our astonishment, we found she remembered
even in her lunacy.
“WHEN TOU GO TO COVINGTON,”
said an intelligent looking old woman, “tell
them to send a half bunch of factoiy thread.”
A fair-haired, blne-cycd girl of twelve years
stood gazing ont of a window on the green
hills. I was pained and astonished to learn
she was a lunatic, bat was glad to learn that
she was improving, and that her father was
coming for her soon. After going throngb
tbe female wards we then tamed, with eager
anxiety, to the male balls. Having bnt little
