On Tuesday last, this gentleman met the citizens of Jackson at the Court House, and in an entertaining and masterly manner, pressed upon our farmers the importance of producing their supplies at home. He pre sented some very amusing as well as gloomy pictures of the farmer’s home, through whose corn-crib “light could be seen a hundred yards distant.” l>ut we cannot attempt to give even a synopsis of his speech ; we only wish all 1 he planters of the county could have heard him ; if so, we think very few of them would consent, another y 7 ear, to leave their cribs and smoke-houses in the Northwest. But the General promised too much, as we think, from the mere raising of meat and bread at home. Ilis earnest advocacy of Direct Trade is a broad admission that the farmer is far from “ independence” even when lie lias a profusion of these products. To secure these is well, and we think our farmers are now fully aware of its importance ; but simply turning our present labor from the culture of cotton to the production of corn and meat will not restore the “ old ante-bel lum independence, prosperity and happi ness.” The farmers tell us that they need better lalxir and more of it. They say that too large a proportion of our people are non-pro ducers ; that too many of the young men and older ones also, go into trade and the profes sions ; that too many of the colored women do very little work, and the men wear out in one year on the same farm and must change to another, and consequently have no inte rest at all in keeping up fences and farms; that the farmers attempt to cultivate too much land, and the people spend too much money in trying to keep up old time appearances without the means. These are all important factors in working out the farmer’s prosperi ty and independence, and we should have been glad to have heard the General on some of them at least. What he said was full of good sense, but people understand the meat and bread question, and we want our leaders to be leaders indeed—to go ahead and tell us how to solve those questions which we cannot manage. They too often tell us that the la bor question, and several others mentioned above, must be left to time. We have been waiting on time ten years for his solution to this problem. In fact, time never works out such questions as these. They must be wrought by legislation and public opinion, and our leaders should suggest the legisla tion and frame the public opinion. The General has done this very 7 thing in the meat and bread question. We honor him for it, and we hope to hear from him on the others before long. The people are ever ready and glad to hear from such gallant leaders. “The Old Reliable I” With pleasure we note the fact that the So’uthern Watchman, of Athens, comes to us much improved in its typographical appear ance. But, while pleased, we are not at all surprised. “Col.” Christy, as the “nestor” of-the' Georgia press, has made his “ mark” in -Southern jaurnalism—always having one of the best filled and most neatly printed pa pers in the State of his adoption. Under the new rejime, we notice some features which, if followed up, must redound to the benefit and interest of the Watchman; and now, in our opinion, if those “ worthy sons of a worthy sire” will “ step to the front” and show that they are, indeed, “ chips of the old block,” the “old reliable” will take a stride or two in advance of what it has been in the past—one of the very best weeklies in the Southern States. Sir Kerosene Oil, 25 cents per gallon, at Kilgore's stand, Athens. EA? The newspaper is au index of the city where it is published, from which the stranger, the emigrant, the distant capitalist or the business man naturally forms his estimate of the city’s advantages and prosperity. The above few lines, taken from an ex change. are as true as any preaching that ever fell upon human ears. And we present the subject to our friends in Jefferson and in Jackson county who have been profuse in their good wishes for our success. Gen tlemen —fellow.citizens, let the people abroad see tangible evidence of }'our appreciation of this enterprise ! Many—very many—of you, have lands to sell, beef cattle to sell—or wa ter powers to sell—or something of the kind to dispose of; then speak out through the columns of the News, and let the world abroad see that we live in a ‘‘liveregion” and mean “business.” In conversation with a gentleman of a neighboring city, a few weeks since, he remarked, “your people all ought to advertise more, and that would be an in ducement for those abroad.” And he was exactly right. The U. S. mall is now carried from Chat tahoochee to Apalachicola, Florida, a distance of 150 miles, on a batteau, Furman & Co-, the present mail contractors, not being able to get a steamer. It makes the trip down and back in a week, and they have to carry muskets along to keep the alligators from stealing the mail bags. Clerking vs. Farming, etc. A correspondent of the Louisville Courier - Journal, writing from Chicago, says there are in that city 20,000 clerks, whose salaries range from $6 to sls per week, and whose ex penses, per are $lO each, beside cloth ing. He also states that they hold their po sitions by 7 the slightest tenure, and many' of them are out of employment a good part of the year. He mentions, as the results to these poor clerks, a harassing life, a loss of all manly independence, and a resort to pet ty larceny for a support. These results are all very natural, and no doubt could be found in most of our cities and some of our smaller towns. lluw different from their day-dreams of wealth and high position ! Yet our y’oung men leave the farms where they 7 are making an honorable living, and where they might eventually 7 acquire wealth to chase this false hope of an easy life, (Heaven save the mark !) and barter all their noble nature for the des perate chance of making a fortune in trade. This is too frequently 7 the case, even here in our agricultural country 7. What is the pros pect ? How many 7 of these myriads of clerks ever become wealthy merchants ? Possibly, one in a hundred. What of the ninety 7 -nine ? A bare competency at best; a life of care and drudgery 7, and with many of them, an end in disappointment and misery. Not the store rooms alone are crowded by those seeking easy lives, but every office and profession in the land is overflowing with fugitives from the farms. Even freed men are flocking to the cities, and every 7 y 7 ear we hear rumors of riots and threatened riots by 7 those who are thrown out of employment and are clamoring for the bread which honest toil in the fields would furnish them in abundance. No won der, under such conditions, that men lose all sense of honesty and honor and seek a sup port for themselves and their starving fami lies by chicanery and trickery, and embezzle ment and robbery. No wonder that the hon est men must be taxed beyond endurance to support these armies of idlers, office-seekers, government pets and non-producers of all kinds. Even those who hold places and re main honest, must submit to salaries which reduce them to the verge of starvation. Yet thousands of acres of the richest land, aboun ding in wealth, invite them to honest and happy independence. All professions are crowded to overflowing, while the farmers are calling for laborers and two-tliirds of our best land must go to waste for want of tillage. The real wealth of the country must come from the soil at last, and our young men spend the best years of their lives in trying to secure fictitious values. It really 7 does seem that the meagre education furnished our y’oung people is proving a curse ; for as soon as a y'oung man can cal culate “intrust” he must enter a store or some of the professions while the healthiest and noblest industry of the laud is stripped of that talent and culture which it really needs and must have to secure success. No position in life requires more profound and systematic thinking than that of the farmer; and what a glorious country we would have if he was as well educated and cultivated as the most learned professional, and his labor ers as skilled as other operatives. Young men think they can never beeome distinguish ed on a farm. Cincinnatus and Washington were farmers; so were many of the noblest and most renowned men that have ever lived. The above was written before we heard Gen. Colquitt on last Tuesday ; and while we listened to his words of wisdom we could but think, what a grand system of Agricul ture we would have, if such men, combining profound learning and large experience were scattered all over our State. Farmers asso ciated in a “ Grange” with such men would not be “ ashamed to own it;” nor would the youth any longer regard the tillage of the soil as a “ low calling,” or inferior, even to the highest profession in the land. Then too, the planter could send to the halls of Congress and to the State Legisla ture men who would understand his peculiar wants, and who would be able to press his claims in the face of all opposition and against every antagonist. Young men, seek an education—then do not “go West,” but quit crowding the shops and professions and go the farms at home ; get married, live hon estly and happily, work faithfully, and we assure you that wealth and even honor and fame, will find you there as well as in the more coveted positions in life. The Insurrection at an End. The following paragraph discloses the fact that “ all is quiet” in regard to the late insur rection and the consequent trials. While every one is satisfied, perhaps, with the dis posal of the matter, one fact stands out very patent—at least to our mind—there has been a “great cry and mighty little wool!” Augusta, Ga., September 9.—The special term of Johnson Court convened at Wrights ville for the trial of the insurrectionary ne groes. Bills of indictment were found against eleven persons. Jake Hicks was put on trial first. After exhausting nearly three panels, a jury was obtained. One witness swore that the prisoner stated there would be hot times in future ; that there would be fighting, and that he would hold his gun level. There was also some proof that the prisoner said that the lands would be divided, and each colored man would get liis forty acres and a mule ; but Judge Johnson charged the jury that the evidence was not sufficient to convict, and that no verdict against the prisoner should be rendered. After an hour's absence, the jury returned a verdict of not guilty. All the other prisoners were discharged, and the Court adjourned. This ends the prosecution, except against the two leaders, Morris and Murkerson, who, it is thought, have left the State. “ They havn't got sufficient coin to do bu> siness with out in California, but they do know how to roll up a Democratic victory.** The Lesson of the Georgia Outbreak. Anent the reported negro insurrection in Georgia, the New \ork Tribune has some timely and considerate remarks bearing on the relations of the two races in that State, and the general toleration and kindness of the whites for the blacks. “If there was a disposition any'where,” pertinently 7 remarks the Tribune, “to harass and oppress the ne gro we might have looked for it here. The political power is all in the hands of the whites, but the colored people are so nume rous as to be a perpetual menace to the white supremacy 7 ; just the situation of things to stimulate Ku-Klux violence and make it tol erably safe and easy. Yet we find the ex master and the ex-slave living together in peace. The ruling race is just; the subject race is generally happy and contented. Even when a crack-brained conspiracy has been discovered, the white man, bora in the fear of negro insurrections, does not rash for his gun and revolver, but merely 7 calls out the constable and insists that the accused shall have a perfectly fair trial. There is not even an attempt to make political capital out of an affair which does really illustrate some of the worse mischiefs into which the carpet-bag system of managing negroes by extravagant promises and secret organizations had led these ignorant and excitable people. If this had occurred during the memorable ‘outrage campaign.’ we doubt whether the Department of Justice would have allowed the occasion to pass without the intervention of the troops. But it ought to be plain now that the South ern people have a respect for law and order, and are capable of behaving admirably under the strongest provocation, and the lesson will not be lost upon the country 7 .” History of Confederate Currency- Mr. Blanton Dunan gives, in the Louis ville Commercial, an interesting account of the Confederate currency 7. He say r sthe total issue never reached $350,000,000, and its depreciation was less than is popularly be lieved. lie say 7 s the paper dollar was worth 85 cents in gold in November, 1861 ; 60 cents in May, 1862 ; 45 or 50 cents in November, 1862 ; 16 cents in July 7, 1863 ; 8 cents in No vember, 1863; 5 cents in May, 1864, from which period to the termination of the war it fluctuated, going up once to 6 cents, and only failing entirely as a medium in the last two months prior to the capitulations, when every 7 one saw that defeat was inevitable. llk was smoking a cigar on a Market street car, where there were ladies. Of course, he was a gentleman(?). A lady 7 took out her purse, got ten cents and handed it to the smoker. “What’s this for?” said he. “Its to buy 7 y 7 ou a good cigar when y 7 ou smoke in the presence of ladies.” He threw the Cigar out of the window, the scrip in the lady 7 ’s lap, jerked the strap and jumped out.— Louisville Courier-Journal.

Washington, Sept. 11.—Senator Pease, of Mississippi, telegraphs to the attorney general that the excitement consequent upon the disturbances at Clinton has entirely subsided. There has been no dispatch from Governor Ames. The attorney general has not changed in his opinion that the trouble is completely at an end. Second Dispatch. Blount Springs, Ala., September 12.—0 t her prisoners passed here to-day. The examina tions are transferred to Huntsville on Tues day 7. The Alabama and Tennessee prisoners are of all classes—rich farmers, prominent merchants and public officials. Some are innocent and others guilty 7 . These arrests will break up a gigantic plan to flood the entire South with counterfeit money, the most of it from St. Louis. STATUE OF STONEWALL JACKSON. Baltimore, September 10.—The steamship Nova Scotian, which arrived at this 'port yesterday evening from Liverpool, brought Foley's bronze statue of General Tomas J Jackson, the famous Confederate leader, presented to the State of Virginia by Hon. Beresford Hope, member of Parliament, and other English gentlemen. The statue cost forty tkusand dollars and will be erected in the Capitol square at Richmond, Virginia, near the equestrian statue of Washington. ARREST OF COUNTERFEITERS. Nashville. Tenn., September 12.—A special from Decatur, Ala., to the American to-day', says that United States Marshal Bauer arrived there this afternoon with J. C. Graham, of Gainesville, Sumter county, R. S. Nell, of Alexander, and Geo. Samp sons and Jno. Ilenler, of Tuscaloosa, Ala., who are charged with counterfeiting. B. B. Bowers, now under arrest for eounterfiting, was foreman of the last grand jury of Greene county. Stewart, of the Methodist Episco pal Church, and superintendent of a Sabbath school, was also arrested. Bowers had on his person one hundred dollars in counterfeit fifty cent fractional currency, and S3OO in counterfeit five and twenty dollar legal tenders. Bowers is socially and financially prominent, and can give bonds for twenty thousand dollars. Dunn and Garner, of Tuscaloosa county, in charge of a deputy marshal, are en route. A delayed train was the cause of their nonarrival. Deputy Unit ed States Marshal Wheat, from the middle district, arrived to-day', having in custody W - . W. Gordon, of Lynnville, Tennessee. Gordon, in his section, has commanded the respect of the community. He had evaded arrest for several days and was particularly' wanted. It is claimed that his connection with the counterfeiters is important. STATE NEWS ITEMS. North Georgia Agricultural College opened with over 100 students.

We learn that on Friday last a colored man went to a preacher in this city to borrow his pistol, and stated that he was going to camp meeting on Sunday and as he didn’t know what would happen he wanted to take a pistol along.

Wibmish says : I have a cow (and an excellent cow she is) which has brought forth rather an extraordinary specimen of the cow tribe. He is (or at least will be, if he lives) an animal that does not divide the hoof but chews the cud. From the knees and hocks upward, he is well made and of fine size; below these joints he is sadly deformed. His legs are only about six inches in length, and seem to possess an eztra pair of joints, llis hoofs are just like the hoots of the mule tribe, and are so very small and sharp that he can scarcely stand upon them. The small hinder hoofs, which correspond to the pastern joints or fetlocks on a horse, are entirety lacking. This large hoof has a ridge down where the “divide” ought to be, but they are not cleft. —Macon Telegraph and Messenger. —.—. IdPThe Providence Journal, in drawing a lesson from the course of the Bank of Cali fornia in entering upon enterprises not within the legitimate business of banking, adds the annexed illustration : There is but one end to such operations ; the road may be longer or shorter, but the stopping place is the same—bankruptcy and ruin. A careful old-fashioned man, a few years ago, came into town to sell some shares in a bank. “Why do you wish to sell them?” he was asked; “you cannot invest your money better ; the bank is well manag ed, the dividends are certain, regular and satisfactory.” Our friend from the country replied, “I know all that, the bank is well enough; but I don’t want stock in a bank where the cashier keeps a race-horse and bets on the course.” We laughed at the fears of the unsophisticated man, but when the cashier defaulted a few years afterward, the overcautious old fogy did not hold any of the shares, which went down fifteen per cent. The War of Races in Mississippi. The Savannah News, in speaking of the recent negro riot at Clinton, Miss., s&ys :— These race conflicts, so much to be deplored, if they are not instigated by bad men for political purposes, afford the most convincing proof that the “ experiment” of a mingling of races in a free representative government is a most costly and tragical failure. The present antagonistic relations between the white and black races cannot be permitted to continue. They must be changed so as to preserve the peace and security of communi ty or the discordant elements of society in this once free country will have to be held in check by a strong despotic government. Are the American people yet to realize the fact that in forcibly enfranchising the African slave they have lost their own liberties. |:€ ? Dr. G. W. Garmany. of Newberry, S.

The blood was taken from the veins of the pa tient’s son. The patient, who lives at the place of Mr. John Spearman, Jr., was in a state of collapse, and pulseless. In a short time his pulse returned, and it is now full and regular. The operation was performed several days ago, and the patient is doing well.— Exchange. Blanks of all Kinds, PRINTED AT SHORT NOTICE, At the Forest News Office. COUNTRY GLIMPSES. Mr. Editor :—The fodder-pulling season has about closed, and the farmers have had a most propitious time for this business. The Ebenezer Debating Club decides, on next Saturday night, whether or not the Stock Law Would be a benefit to the State. That enterprising gentleman, Mr. E. M. Thompson, is now running his cane mill by means of water-power attachments—his own invention. The mill is situated above the Evaporator, and the juice of the cane runs down into a barrel or hogshead, and is let into the Evaporator by a faucet. The whole arrangement is simply complete, and no bet ter syrup can be made in Georgia than is be ing turned out here. I see the Grand Jury recommended a Coun ty Court, and named a candidate for the judgeship of it, with his salary, etc. If they were going into the details of the subject, why did they not name a person for Solicitor with his salary, and also go on to define the duties and powers of said Court ? I see you have failed to notice that the Town Council of J efferson decided on W ednes day, the 3d instant, that they had no author ity to act, and that they were powerless as a Court, because their Ordinances had. never been promulgated according to law. This Court has been “operating” for two years. We thought it would be an item of news to several citizens of the county who have felt that it was a Court. Tugmutton. Galilee, Sept. 16th, 1875. As the Sandersville Herald remarks freaks of nature will occur. Mr. W. R. S., who lives near the Ogeechee river, about forty miles above Fenn’s Bridge, in Washington county, has a cow which recently gave birth to a calf having two heads, each being per fect and well defined. They ware joined at the neck, at right angles, and gave the ap pearance of a side view to an observer stand ing directly in front. Each head had a per fect pair of eyes, ears and mouth, and the body otherwise was that of an ordinary calf. This singular specimen of the bovine tribe died soon after birth. IN MEMORIAM. Harriett E. Wigginton was born December 11th, 1836, and died August 22d, 1875, aged 38 years, 8 months and 11 days. She was born near Anderson C. H., South Carolina, and was married to E. G. Wigginton in her twentieth year. Hav ing obtained, as she trusted, the forgiveness of sin through the blood of Jesus, she joined the Baptist church, at Pisgah, in August, 1857. which profes sion she adorned by a deeply pious and consistent life. They removed to Jackson county, Ga., in 1870, where they nuietly and peaceably lived the remainder of her life. Asa neighbor, she was kind, hospitable and obliging. Asa wife , she was devoted and affectionate. In time of affliction she was ever ready to wipe the tear from sorrow’s weeping eye, and to cheer and comfort him whom she had chosen to walk with her through life. As a mother, she was patient and indulgent, and vet commanding and preserving order with the rod of affection. About two w'ccks before her death, she was taken with congestive fever, which she bore with unusual Christian fortitude. Conscious from the beginning of her sickness, of her early de parture, she prayed that the Lord would provide for her husband and children. Her mortal remains were interred in Thyatira Cemetery in presence of a large concourse of wit nesses. Rev. A. J. Kcllv officiating in the funeral services.
