Ottr College.
A member of ttit- editorial
oftbe Columbus Enquirer, who
Visited Hamilton last week, makes
tlie following excellent notice of our
college.
The people of Hamilton "ere. badly
th-apoin'ed, and regretted exceed¬
ingly to learn that the bill for es¬
tablishing a branch of the Agricul¬
tural college at Hamilton bad been
withdrawn. They find no fault
with their immediate represent*"
tives’in the matter, but on the con
trary, think they did the best they
could. Wo can think of no town
in all this section of country that
.
affords such inducements for the
location of a school of that charac¬
ter, and if a bill is pass'd locating
ft*branob oollege in each congres¬
sional disfict, Hamilton will make
a strong effort to secure it, aud
there is evefy probability of snoesr.
There is already one of.the largest,
if not the largest wooden buildings
in the slate, and it is erected on an
eminence overlooking the town.
The house is 00x90 feet, with two
elorics and a large cupola and ob¬
servatory on the to)), measuring
sevenfeet from the ground. On
the first floor aie six iargo rooms
with a ball ten feet wide running
entirely through the building from
oast to west and ano'her from
north to south. On the second
floor is a large chapel 00 by 90
i with iwo ante-rooms in the rear.
‘ This building was erected at a cost
I of near $15,000, and was recently
purchased by ten of Lite prominent
ciiiz 'tis who now propose to give
it to the stale, provided the college
is located at this place. Every in¬
ducement and advantage that could
be offered U seenn can be found at
Hamilton 1 Th" course pursued by
the Enquire . Sun in urging the
!egi-l il'ii'e to pass lie bill and show
ing the advantag ges to be derived
from so doing has met with the
ha rty approvd of a'l these people,
all t ha- ingr.viated iiself into the
good grace of it- h »st of readers.

Will Prices Go up or Down.
In the present rage for specula
tion in produce of every kind, the
follow ing explanation of the meth¬
ods of speculation, from the pen of
>Ir Orange Judd, editor of the
Atmrican Agriculturist, will prove
ot'interest to the readers of die
Journal. If some of our friends
will ouly read it closely it will re
move a a almost universal idea that
speculators arc ail trying to magnify
the e:z" ot crops, There must of
necessity be as many int ores'ed in
proving t he crop short as there are
m proving it large, white the inter¬
est c»f the producer is all upon one
side. A* a consequence the aggre¬
gate of a crop is almost always lar¬
ger than was estimated. Our
friends would do well to give heed
to ihe advice with which the arti
cle concludes.
During two or three years past
and never so greatly as now, the
methods of the Stock Excha'ge
have been introduced in’o the pro¬
duce markets, and hundreds of
men, in leading cities, n itahly in
Chicago, Toledo, St. Louis, Balti¬
more, Cincinnati, and New York,
are billing millions of dollars upon
tho probable pres of wheat, flour,
corn, oats, laid, pork, bacon, eic.
To illustrate: Mr. A. offers to de¬
liver to Mr. B. a million bushels ot
No. 2 R d wheat at $1 22 per bush¬
el, ou the 31st day of August,
though lie (Mr. A.) does not own
a single bushel of wb at, and does
not expect to. Mr. B. takes the
offer, and makes a deposit of a
small portion of the price or “mar¬
gin.’’ In this case Mr. A. is said
to be “short," and Mr. B. “long.”
itfr. A. is “short” of what he has
agreed io deliver. If tho closing
sale of thi- grade of wheat on Aug-
31 is only $ 1,20, Mr. B. pays Mr.
A. 2 ecu’s a bushel, or $20,000.
But if the price is *1 25, Mr. A.
pays Mr. C. 3 cents a bushel, < i
i,ooo. U-uiTy no wheat is
aeUif.i!y deliv, led. t'oinei im-s,
howevt r. il there is a limited supply
ol wheat available, arid Mr. B. ha*
cipiial enough, he secretly buys all
there is; ho gels up a “corner’’ in -
wheat; und when settling day j
Collies, he may r qaim Mr. A to
deliver the when', or lie may gel
others to try to buy i', while lie
refuses to sell until $1 39, or $1,4u,
or even $1.50 is offered, and the
price oft he day is fixed at that
rate. In the last named case, Mr.
A. would have to pay him the dif¬
ference between $1.22 and $1 50,
which on a million bushels would
be 23x1,000,000 or, $280,000. If,
on tbe contrary, (be price could be
beat down on the settling day to
$1 00 per bushel, Mr. B. would
have to pay Mr. A. 22 cents a budi
tl, or $ 220 , 000 . We have named
only two individuals, but there arc
hundreds or tlu.us.ands ot persons
doing the same thing, some belting
oil a few thousand bushels, others
on hundreds of thousands, and a few
heavy operators on millions. In
UrneB of excitement and activity
the speculative “sales” of wheat
during a few days amount to more
than the entire surplus crop of the
country during a year. The oper..
a’ors are in two cia^ses, those like
Mr. A are “shorts,” and those like
Mr. B. are “longs,” Precisely the
same operations are takina . place
with reference to other grades of
wheat, corn, oats, lard, pork, eto.
The same man often operates in
suvcri| , klllds ot pro d„ce. and may
bc (lf ono Hvd » loIlg .. ot
another. One speculator will often
be short for August delivery; long
for September; and short or long
for October, or for “the year.”....
The leading facts and circum¬
stances on both sides are set forth'
above. The great oper.itors in
tjrain nml other prorlucts, bollt

sums at stake. They are each

go lip as dowu, or down as up. S >,
the only safe rule for us is, to sell
when ready, to take as little risk as
possible of damage in storage; and
being ready, and having sold, to
simply say, “I have done the best I
could.” Then if prices go down,
say, “Well, I was lucky.” If they
go up, “I migh' have done better
to hold on, hut if J had, it might
have been different, and so I will
not worry over it.
Seasonable Hints.
Mr. Eoi roit:—Please ioand me
space in the Journal to speak the
following to the public. 1 nonce
that the people are paying tbe best
attention to the working of the
roads, while the rust is working the
cotton, nnd the cotton merchants
arc working their figures, ami the
grocery merchants are posting up
th'-ir books, and the laud lords are
getting their rent J notes to¬
gether, for they have smelt cotton
opening.
Well, the above is true. Rut
will the renters and the land lords
begin to make contracts for another
year, probably about December?
Well, that is one of the gieat ivils
that ; Abels both ctiflie and the land
lord. Why? Because contracts
should be made on or Indore lay.,
ing by time, so ctiffie can take some
advantage ot building houses, and
preparing and sowing turnip patch.,
es, and to btl'ld stable: and corn
cribs, and prepare for making guano
at home, and then we will begin to
save mo:.q£.— We all make nieney
but a ycry few save money, and
why is tln«. In the first place we
never trade with our employers or
land lords so.-n enough to prepare
and sow small grain early in the
fall, and in the second place w e
never try to raise our meat at home.
And why not. B'cau-e we have
lulled to raise the corn to feed the
hogs on. Why huvayou not rais¬
ed the corn? The reply is the hind
Ih too poor, y I i ill" Ian I i
poor, but w !i >l m : i t trool ? -*
einsoil has been woin out. —
planting it in co’Uin so mm,a, to
t° l ,!, y forjthal we might have miser!
at home. And why do we n
raise all mcessai y things at ......•«?
Thera are several lea-uns. S nii"
as follows: Rent notes is said to
be duo on or before the fi st ot Oo
toller, and our notes with our mer¬
chants the same and guano notes
on or before the 15'h ol Oc ober.
Now who can pay from one to two
and a half bales of cotton rout, and
and meet the above demands on a
one horse farm, at the maturity ot
said notes, nnd pay the 20 h of
the cotton for ginning, I believe
intelligent farmers will gradually
grow out of debt and begin to
make money again in a tew years.
This county needs more raisers ot
corn and more hogs aud more
wheat and oats, and less cotton,
and lictter stoek, and inure soghura
and then there will he better schoo s
and more money in ihe hands of
the farmers, and this is much need¬
ed among the farmers, I think !
that, it is very hard and simple ot
the farmers of this country to wait
for a better time to change their
modes of farming.
I am not afraid to say that cer
tain parties said that they will an .
swer an y letter that I write through
the columns of the Journal. j
tnerefore pronounce the above a
dare. I admit that I h ive made
some mistakes and broken senteu
ces, but never the less, I ever re¬
main vours mo-t truly,

Thousands of carp.
Early last spring Capt. Jos. B-ay, who
lives about three miles east of Hamilton,
received all of the young carp given to
gentlemen at this place by Hon. Henry
Persona. There were twenty or thirty of
these, varying from one to two inches
in leng'.h. These were torced loose into
a pond, supplied by one of our mountain
half an acre. Capt. Bray informs oa>
tii3l Roalewbat to bis surprise, there are
now thousands young carp in tbe pond,
those originally put in having in a few
month, matured enough to spawn and
hatch out young. They grow wmndarfub
ly fast, th'iee which were put ,o. he pond
now bung pLvfifc eight or ten inches in length,

We copy the following Utter
from the Columbus Enquirer, for
i be purpose solely of showing the
opinion of eminent authority con¬
cerning the management of our Col¬
lege bill. There is no one who
knows Capt. Stsnfo d who doe*
not believe he lias done everything
possible to obtain the passage of
bis hill, and knowing his energy —
labor vine.I omnia—some of us arc
still hopeful.
Enquirer-Sun: I regret to see
that your Hamilton Correspondent
intimates that the peo; !e of that
good town think that, the Hon. L.
L. Stanford has not done Ins full
duty m withdrawing the bill to cre¬
ate a branch college of the univer¬
sity at Hamilton.
The fact h, as the record shows
Mr. Stanford has done more than
his duly, tor be has three times in-
terposed his saving band and snatch
ed the bill from the deadly grasp
of the house, whose vote was
about io kill it, so far as the pres¬
ent. general assembly is concern..
ud.
When the bill was first called
up for final action it provided on'y
for a branch college at Hamilton.
Messrs Harris and Stanford spoke
earnestly m us behalf, but the
vote ot tho house was against the
bill. Before the speaker anno u no
w | ( |u> rt . BU lt; however, Mr. Stan
secured a recommittal of the
bill tor ihe purpose of amendu < nt,
thu saving ils life ihe li st time.
The amen led hill came up lor
final ac:io i again, with a branch
college at Rome included. The
bouse pressed the matter to a vote
and were about to kill the bill,
when Mr Stanford, aided by M 1 '.
Garraid, of Mu-cog.a- ( \ ho lias
been a firm friend of the hill) be.
tore the vote was announced, once
more saved it by having it tabled
for a fill or house.
A few day* ago—on Thursday —
the bid in ih.it form, euiivu up tor
ooiisi.Jer.nion, aud uf.er sonic dis..
on suui was put to a vote. The
l . is) p 1 _ W;)f) c ; ( , n rly foreshadow ed,
. 1P .,| f,,,. t ,!,i>-d nine Mi . Stanford,
i, v „hnrp tamics, pist as the
V(lUs waH l0 announced, secured
I’nnnissbm to wuh Ira v th" . bill, ..I
thus saying Its life ihe tliiid _ time,
Tho ne xt tlay lie prompily rein
irnduced tilts bill, amended so as
to leave out. the Romo branch col
lege, ” and in this shape it has again
b n rdem , (1 t0 llfts t . (]lK . atlon;lI
C( „ iun i ltef> w )iich has biietofore
favored its passage.
Thus you will see that Mr. Stan¬
ford has beeii womlrfu'ly vigorous
and sticceaslul in keeping his bill
alive to tne present time, and ward¬
ing off three separate death blows
aimed at it by the bouse. Virtu¬
ally, it was riji-cfed three times,
yet the result was not announced.
The constitiuiot, of tbe State says
rejected bill cannot be reintroduced
Bv saving his bill by the “skin ol
Ins teeth” Mr. Stanford has seetir
ed four chances instead ot one to
get the bill passed. 5n an experi¬
ence am. observation of twenty
years I have never tur n a ^,hi!l so
often snatched from impending de¬
struction.
In fact, it was seriously consider
C<1 l '. v 8, ' VKral 'nembers, on Friday,
to introduce a resolution giving
Stanford’s bill as many lives gn a
cal fui:n j, which would enable hint
to save the bill H* times more from ,
final defeat. .
In conclusion, if there ever was
a man in the (jnorgi i lo^i-dti'n e
who , could . , trot tins bill through. ,, i
’ hat man is oti. r T s; iso r >n l < ‘
j. . ,
Harris, and the people of IlamlPoii
can safely leave the matter tu his
able hands.
