Those who iia co opportunities for obtaining valuable infor mation iu regard to the growing crops, the working of the tree-labor system, and kindred matters, of gen eral interest, will confer a favor by communicating the same to us. Affairs In Mexico. Wa give our reader* credit for more as tuteness than we possess, it they have arrived at aoy definite or satisfactory conclusion with regard to matters in Mexico. A few days since the announcement was made that Max imilian had surrendered the sceptre of power to the French commander, Geu. Bazaine, aud was on the eve of departure for Europe. The arrival at New York last week ol the British minister and a number of the civil and milituiy officers of the imperial govern; ment, seemiugly confirmed the minor that Maximilian had or was about to abandon the country. Subsequent dispatches, however, state that the Emperor has determined to stay, and that large amounts ot money have been profit-red to him by the clergy aud other parties opposed to the restoration ot Juarez to power. Public affairs in general are just now in a stale of extraordinary con fusion throughout the world, but Mexican affairs are beyond iutelligible comprehension, and every succeeding batch of news from that country only serves to make confusiou worse confounded. There is one significant circumstance that has transpired of late, and that is the reap pearance ol' Gen. Miramon in Mexico, who has been residing in Paris as the confidential agent of the Mexican Emperor. He is said to be like Santa Anna, selfish, ambitious aud unscrupulous. He was the leader of a strong party in Mexico up to the time that Juatez obtained the mastery, and when he found he could no longer rule, he went to Europe and intrigued with Napoleon, for the establish ment of a monarchy in Mexico. He has now Tetarned with the object probably of in ducing Maximilian not to surrender hi3 posi tion. Miramon is one of the ablest generals that Mexico Ua9 ever had, and he has shown himself to be a skilful politician. He may therefore succeed iu gaining sufficient influ ence lo sustain lor a while longer the decay ing power of the Emperor, and consequently in aggravati ng the troubles of that unfortunate country. Mfiftr University. Our readers are referred to the advertise ment of this College in another column. It has been in successful operation for thirty years, never suspending its exercises even during the recent war. It has preserved from the ravages of war $125,000 of its for mer large endowment, besides its buildings, library and apparatus. Now officered by five learned, accomplished and experienced pro fessors, we trust it begins a new career of in creasing prosperity. It is under the control of the Baptist denomination of this State, hut is purely -literary in its curriculum of studies. Its graduates Occupy distinguished positions in all the learned professions iu this and other States. Its location is in a quiet and moral village in Greene county, removed from sources of dissipation, and most favorable to thorough mental culture. There has never been a tippling house in the place, and any owner would forfeit the title to his lot should he open one. We witness with pleasure and hope, the 'zeal with which institutions of learning, from the public school to the college, are being revived and established throughout the South. It is not life, in its highest sense, to live in ignorance. _ -The Tit* baNttoiatlw mt Mltteftl UA> It it Mated that Hr. drceley, of the Hew York Tribune, probably destroyed his chances for the United States Senatorsbip when he wrote bis late editorial in favor of universal amnesty without negro suffrage. There ia strong opposition to him in the Ipisd- ical ranks. Boscoe Cockling, a windy young Congregaman from the Utiea district, it is said, is making headway in opposition to the distinguished editor, and is endeavoring to undermine the popularity of the latter by citing bia proposition for the liberation ol Mr. Davis On parole or bail. ' It is noteworthy that while Mr. Greeley is thus liberal towaids the South, Mr. Ray- moad, who wrote the address adopted by the Philadelphia Convention, iu which it was de clared that if the Southern people submitted to the policy of the Radicals “they would be unworthy of their ancestry or the name of American citizens,” is exhibiting vindictive bitterness against our people. He is raviug for a policy of vengeance, and has much to say about Southern “ihaolency” in refusing to accept the constitutional amendment, which he denounced in the Philadelphia Convention, while Mr. Greeley ia pleading for mercy, and demands a fair and liberal settlement of the difficulties between the two sections. Fleuinuton Academy.—It gives us plea sure to call the attention of our readers to a communication in another column, repre senting the claims of, the above mentioned institution to the patronage of the public ; and to state that all that is said therein in regard to the academy, the president, and the community in which it is situated, is strictly true. Mr. Winn, the principal, is one of our most eminent and most success ful teachers. He has been identified with the school for many years, with a continually increasing appreciation by the public of his merits as an instructor. He possesses that rare faculty of governing a large school with entire success and without apparent effort. It is a faculty that would win fame, and per haps fortune, in the command of an arm)', and is worthy of recognition and apprecia tion in the more arduous duty of conducting successfully an institution of learning. Persons wishing any further information respecting Flemington Academy are referred to Dr. Axson and the Hon. J. B. Mallard, of this city. A Straw in thh Wind.—The following ex tract from Wendell Phillips' speech, recently delivered in Philadelphia, will be read with interest as indicating the deep disquiet now pervading the Northern mind in regard to the question of reconstruction : The people cannot be kept at a white, heat. Northern trade longs for the Southern mar ket. (Hear.) All the machinery of politics and finance will be brought to bear upon the commercial classes North to be'contented with any sort of reconstruction that will give them the South as qniet customers. The ef forts of this kind iu the coming six months will be unmeasured aud incessant. Add to these the Democratic party of the North, and the clamor of the Southern States, with the patronage of the government at their head, and who says it is not a fearful strength, an incalculable danger? The real interest of Northern commerce and business is a recon struction that will give us 5,000,000 of thrif ty, industrious and contented negroes for customers, and 5,000,000 of white men, turn ing their attention honestly to industrial pur suits. The South, under a reconstruction on a Northern model, wonld become a cus tomer to the extent of $100,000,000 or $200,000,000 more than she ever has beeif or can be on the President's plan.

Washington, Dec. 30.—Senate.— Mr. Ross intro duced a resolution, which was laid on ths table, di recting tbe Committee on Reconstruction to Inquire into tbe expediency of abolishing such regulations for tbe government of tbs districts lately in rebellion, as shall have refused or may hereafter refuse to adopt tbe constitutional amendment. Ou motion of Mr. Williams, tbe Committeo on For eigu Relations was instructed to inquire Into tbe ex pediency ol prohibiting the emigration or importation of Chinese into the Unitod states. The Ncbiaska bill was taken up, aud a long discus sion ensued, pending which the Senate adjourned. House.—After the introduction of a few other reac bilious of no particular general interest, the House wenqinto Committee of the Whole ou tho legislative, executive and judicial appropriation bill, and had pro gressed almost through the bill when the Committee Mr. Randall, of Kentucky, introduced a resolution, which was agreed to, calling upon the President far any information he has received since the date of his message of Dec. 8th. relative to tho occupation ol Mexico by United States troopa. House adjourned. Tbe House Committee on Territories will, after the holidays, report a bill providing fur tbe reorganization of the Southern States. Mr. Stevens called up to-day the bill reported from the Committee on Reconstruction lust aeaaion, pro viding the conditions on which tbe Southern States may be readmitted, to which he offered some amend ments. This bill now a tan da aa the first special order. Tbe Teat Oath In Louisiana. New Orleans, Dec. 19.—A motion being made in A Classification of Congeessmen. Washington correspondent of the Augusta Constitutionalist speaks of three shade.s of opinion in Congress. He says: “The mere party men, who simply look to the ascend ancy of the party, and wish to subordinate everything to this oue idea. This class think it expedient to stand, for the present, on the constitutional amendment, and make no ma terial change of position. The avengers, those who pander to the passions of the masses, and wish to punish the South. An I third, the humanitarians, those who are sin cerely moved by sympathy for the blacks. The type3 of this class are such men as Horace Greeley, Gaaritt Smith, and ex- GoveiDor Andrews, of Massachusetts. This class, which is the honest and sincere ele ment in the Republican party, do not bate the South, but they love the principle of the equality of man. They demand that the black man shall be put on a legal and politi cal equality with the white man. This class anxiously desire to restore peace between the North and the South; and if the South would harmonize with their idea, they would never tire of doing acts of kindness to the South.” The Woman’s Law.—Among the acts passed by the Georgia Legislature is one protecting tbe rights of married women. The Milledgeville Recorder says it provides that all the property of tbe wife at the time of her marriage, whether rami or peraoual, or choscs in action, shall be end remain the separate property of the wife; and tbat all property given to, inherited or ac quired by the wife during tbe coveture, shall vest in and belong to the wife, and shall not be liable for the payment of any debt, de fault, or contract of the husband. Abrestkd.—The Maoon Messenger of the 18th says: The notorious fellow, Swayze, who caused the arrest of several citizens of Grif fin a little more than a week ago, was him self arrested last Friday, and passed through this place last Saturday night, on his way to Savannah. He is charged with some very serious offences agiinst the laws, but as we did not see a copy of the charges against him, nor could we learn satisfactorily and defi nitely what they are, we will not now under take to give the substance of them. Story on the Constitution.—At the close of Judge Story’s commentary on the Consti tution occurs the following: “Republics are created by the virtue, pub lic spirit, and intelligence of the citizens. They fall when the wise are banished from the public councils, because they dare to- be honest, and the profligates are rewarded be cause they flatter tbe people in order to' be tray them.” If an example were needed to demonstrate, tbe correctness of tbe second postulate in the above paragraph, it might, be found in tbe history of tbe party now controlling the po litical affairs of this distracted country. Rolling Texabwards.—For months past the Southwestern papers have been chroni- ' cling a continuous stream of emigration to Texas. The last number of the Telegraph, published at Washington, Arkansas, has the following; Large streams of emigrants continue to 4 pour through our country on “their winding way” to Texas. While on our way to Little Rock we met no less than a hundred wagons loaded with emigrants to Texas. They are mostly from East Tennessee, Alabama and Missouri. They are leaving Brownlow and , Fletcher's dominions feat. ' - Wendell Phillips is out in the Anti- SWery Standard in favor of Fred. Douglass as Dm ted States Senator, in place of Hon.

Street Railroads.—Tba Charleston pa pers of Monday contain full particulars of tbe formal opening of (be street railroad in that city on Saturday last Toasts were given and speeches made on the occasion, and the whole affair passed off, despite the inclement weather; in fine style. .This speaks well for the enterprise of our sister city, and we hope tbe time is not dis tant when Savannah will bare achieved a similar event in her career of improvement. There ia a movement on foot in Arkansas to establish a new county in that State, to be called Murray, in honor of Geo. John E. Murray, a graduate of West Point, who joined the regiment of the lamented Cleburne as a private, was made a Lieutenant Colonel at the age of eighteen, a Colonel at twenty, and was commissioned a Brigadier General on the day he was killed at Atlanta, July 22d, 18S6. Hob. P. M. Hassell. In this gentleman Chatham county has on honorable and efficient representative of her important and diversified interests. Of broad and enlarged views, he gives an earnest snpport to every measure, whether affecting his own or other sections of the State, which promises to be useful to the citizens thereof or tho people at large. We have watched Mr. R. closely during the past two sessions of the Legislature, and we can truthfully say that no member of the Honse'of Representatives gave a more zeal ous and efficient support to every claim or appeal iu behalf of the' soldier, his widow, his orphan children, or the poor than he did. But it is as a representative of the citizens of Chatham county that Mr. Russell has de servedly won most reputation. He has been faithful to the trust .reposed, and has always been successful in carrying his measures through. No representative from Chatham county ever had more influence in the Geor gia Legislature with the representatives from the First Congressional District. He has been emphatically a working representa tive, and in the advocacy of his own meas ures, and the support of’ others, he has drawn around him a large circle of friends who vote with him end take counsel from him. His popularity at home may be judged of by the very flattering vote by. which he was elected to the Legislature on two occa sions, receiving the highest Vote on either tioket, and defeating gentlemen of great pop ularity, personal worth and standing iu the city of Savannah and county of Chatham. We are well aaenrad that Mr- R's imme diate constituency, it they consult their own interests, will return hbn to the State Senate next Fall. In these remarks we feel we have done bat simple justice to s eitizsn of the State, who lias proven himsell a Mad to all her true interests, and a conservator of the public good. —AWero/ Umiem. -• U. 8. District Court, Judge Dare], to set aside tbe teat oath ou the ground that such was permitted In the Supreme Court, which statement was supported by evidence, the Judge replied that he had information that the practice in the Supreme Court was to admin ister the oath in open court, as before the war, then to pass applications Into the Clerk’s office when re- quired to take tbe test oaths. When the decision of the Suprelne Court la rendered, the Judge of this Court will not raise his head against their decrees.. Tbe Court decided Dot to be further, pressed on this sub ject. North Carolina Commissioners in Wash ington. Washington, Dee. 19.—Gov. Worth, and others ac companying him from North Carolina to this city, had an interview with the President and Gan, How ard to-day, relative to the order of Gen. Sickles pro hibiting corporeal punishment by the courts of that -State, and the order of the Freedmen's Bureau pro hibiting colored children over fourteen years of ago from being bound out. The explanations of the genUemen were such as to warrant the belief that the question will be settled to the satisfaction of all parties. The Habeas Corpus t„ Virginia.

One hundred und fifty to two hundred pounds of Map.,’ K.trogcniztd Super-Phosphate applied even after the cotton was nearly up, nearly doubled the crop. ’ as • Cottongrown with Mopes’ Supcr-Pboaphats IQ& brought higher price per pound. Stood drought better than Peruvian, American, or any of the various guanos used in the vicinity. Tne cotton held its bolls better. . Caused no tiring of the cotton daring drought. Cottotrcominued its fruiting later. The last bolls as iar K c and abundsul os at any previous stage of tbe crop. Produced a larger yield aud heavier weight of cot ton ami whe.it than Peruvian Guano. The yield ol corn gtowu with Mopes' Super-Phosphate was nearly double that grown with other Super phosphates. Worms hardly touch.d the corugiown with Napes’ Super-Phosphate, while one-third of the corn grown with other Super phosphates was eaten up. For composts with muck Mapes’ Super-PUosphato cannot be excelled. Peruiaucntly improve (he soil.
