It is at this season of the year that the foiliitry editor, throwing aside his well worn ,]iiiil, and discarding his inky bandana, rubs LACONICS. Past week very “ springy.” Judge Rice “frescoing” the evil doers. We took their photograph’s whilst they were seated on the verandah, how happy and how handsome they looked. Died, of paralysis of the brain, caused by riding at night, Wilson L. Holland of Watkinsville, on the 30th of January. We wire glad to see J.B.

Joi his eves and begins to reflect that perhaps the merchants of the “ great cities” would be highly benefited by an exposition of the excellencies and advantages of his lively weekly. He accordingly gathers himself up, •• washes his face, dyes his moustache” and liegitis his journalistic jaunt in style. Join ing the throng of this worthy clan, your cor respondent found himself ou his way to Au- gusta. not however without being attended nnd surrounded by other responsibilities and pleasures than those of an editorial nature. At Crawford we visited, for the first time, the office of that spicy sheet, the Oglethorpe Echo. Here we found our friend Gantt busily engaged in making up liis paper nn«l we were lo the to disturb him in his work. He is certainly a hardwork ing deserving young fellow and his labors are each week crowned by the production of a lively paper. Our delay at Union Point, was certainly <|uitc a long one, but as a delightful travel ing companion rendered this detention ve y agreeable after all, we shall make no complaint, save to throw out the sug gestion, that a peanut fount or a billiard ta ble would pay well at this place. We hope that the lion. Mr. Peagrccn will have such an enterprise incorporated. lie could count upon the patronage of itinerant news paper men. The Planter’s Hotel was our stopping place in Augusta. This excellent house which for some time past has been closed, was reopened by Mr. B. P. Chatfield, on the 25th of November last. It has been remodelled from office to parlor, from kitch en to dining room. Rooms have been re moved so as to admit light and thereby avoid all dark or uncomfortable apartments, cozy chambers have been substituted for lo:i g bare halls, floors are bright with bciu- tiiiil carpets and w lls arc tinted with charming colors. Everything has au air of lM.uness and cleanliness which we have nev er seen equaled in any public or private lions-*, and one feels at home upon entering ihe hotel, so attentive are the waiters, so pohle and courteous the su|>erintcndcnl8. With Mr. B. F. Brown we were particular ly pleased, and can truly say that no clever er man or liner gentleman can anywhere be found. The “Planters” is what Augusta lias long needed, viz: a first class hotel. Augusta is remarkably dull at present, business of nearly every kind is at a stand still and marolun.s seem more anxious to get in their money from the country than to encourage trade. The spring trade of dry goods will soon revive and a concomi tant improvement in other branches may he looked for. Many new buildings have been erected during the last year indeed her improvements though quiet are markei, and her progress though slow is decided. Augusta is unquestionably a solid city. That's what Geo. II. Pendleton says, and he is correct. A large and well stocked music house is an enterprise which is now under full head way in that place. It is owned by G O. Robinson <b Co., and is complete in all re spects. Every variety of musical instru ments can here be procured at New York prices, and all standard music is kept in lull supply. Mr. Robinson’s success is evident, from the number of pianos and other instruments which he sells weekly, and his orders for music arc abundant from every portion of the State. Ho is a firm be liever in printers’ ink, a fine musician and a square and upright business man. In our advertising columns this morning, will be found the pronunciameuta of that popular fertilizer, the “Patapsco,” which has [“viinedsuch a wide and favorable reputation in Georgia and South Carolina This com pany have erected spacious warehouses in Augusta wVore will be kept large quantaties nf this guano a*d “Grange Mixture.” Gen. •Stovall of the latter city is resident manager, and under his able supervision the company are prospering in our ritatc. Mr. August Dorr, merchant tailor, is well and favorably known throughout the State and in his dealings will give satisfaction in every particular. We had the honor of meeting Col. Jas. R. Randall, rf the Constitutionalist, one of the mo?t accomplished editors in the United •States. We were pleased to learn from a gentleman ot the place, that this elegant journal is now in a flourishing condition and prospering finely under its present manage ment. Mr. Gregg Wright of that staid old paper, the Chronicle was busily engaged upon that “Executive Committee.” He is firing away with perseverance and energy, and is ■still pouring hot shot into their ranks. Mr. Wright is a very young man, but a vigorous writer. Ed. Snelfon and Mont. Sale, smile upon their friends from Richards dry goods store. A centennial leap year party at pres ent engrosses the attention of the good peo ple of Augusta, married men seeming to be extremely fortunate in securing escorts. An entertainment given by the U. 8. Navy officers at Port Royal, on board of one of the vessels was said to have been a most enjoya ble affair. The brave and fair of the blue and the grey, mingled in n delightful con-- vivium, flowing punch and flying feet mark ed the festive scene. Some ronmmasand papas, however, have since doubted the propriety of such a show of amnesty from Augusta’s fair beauties to strangers and for mer foes. But then you know there’s no great harm done after all. Athens belles are the admired of all admirers in Society cncles. The good people down here, say oniith, will be our next Governor. Colquitt in the eves of many, seems to have been in jured by the failure of the Southern Insu rance Company. Picciola. Greer and Tom Dorsey, were blown up by the blasting powder catching fire. The tnen were seriously, though not dan gerously, hurt. CLARKE COUNTY SUPERIOR COURT. IH3 HONOR JUDGE GEO AGE D. RICE, PRE SIDING—MEMORANDUM OF CASES TRIED. 1. John E.

About one hundred delegates were present. The Convention was opened with prayer by Rev. Mr. Atkin son, after which Mayor Davenport, on be half of the citizens of Brunswick, in a few brief and appropriate sentences welcomed the officers and delegates of the Society, and extended to them the hospitalities of the city. General Browne responded to the speech of welcome in one of his happiest nnd most graceful efforts. General Colqnilt then arose and delivered an able, earnest and eloquent address to the Convention, in which he made many excellent suggestions, which, if heeded by Georgians, would do much towards restoring our glorious old common wealth to her former grand position oi prosperity and happiness. His speech was frequently applauded, and is spoken of by all in the highest terms. The Convention then proceeded to business, and amon? the first acts of importance was the unanimous passage of a resolution praying the Legisla ture to enact a dog law.

We have brought to your consideration a number of important propositions, some of them satisfactorily demonstrated, and a num ber of them only partially so. We have at least succeeded in convincing ourselves that we may cheapen the production of cotton by cheapening the production of mule feed; that more nutriment can be raised with less labor in oats and fodder corn, than in corn and fodder; that the oat forms a better ro tation for cotton than the Indian corn, and that it husbands nitrogen, while the culture of both corn and cotton destroys it; that more land may be brought up remunerative ly Jo double its production the first year, and considerably above it by the third Tear; that land thus doubled in its productive caj will enable us to complete successfully the West as to labor; that a man cult!
