Onions are said to be “ sure cure” for the epizootic in horses. Mrs. Golding, one of the oldest residents of Athens, died suddenly on Thursday morn ing of last week. From the Mountain Signal we learn the Agricultural College at Dahlonega is in a most flourishing condition. A gentleman in Hamilton, Ga., has a cow which has been giving milk more than three years. Her last calf is also giving milk. After that earthquake in Memphis, Bibles were in demand and the trade in cocktails languished for several days. The South is being flooded with counter feit money. The Paxton Bank of Illinois is the one most run on. The South Georgia Conference convenes in Americus on the 15th of December. Bishop Doggett will preside at this Conference. Mrs. Col. D. W. Jordan, of Camden, has an acre of ground from which she expects to get three and a half or four bales of cotton. The physician of Mr. Stephens has strong hopes that the old man eloquent will be able to take his seat in Congress at its next ses sion. Miss Mary Thomas, daughter of the late Jadge Thomas, died at the lunatic asylum of epileptic convulsions, on the 24th Oct. last. —Elljerton Gazette.

[Why not grow them in Georgia ?] The democracy’ carried Virginia and Mis sissippi, the only States in which United States senators are to be chosen out of all that held elections last week. We therefore gain one senator. From the Atlanta Constitution we learn the receipts of the State for October, footed up $52,151.91; rental W. & A. R. R. $25,000. Total, $77,453.94.

He has nine daughters at home, and it takes over a hun dred yards of calico to go round. Another is the happy sire of twenty-three children.— Buena Vista Argus. A yoke of oxen weighing 3.500 pounds, while being trained for the fair at Boothbay, the other day, hauled 5.800 pounds. A by stander made a wager that the same weight of men would haul as much. The men were selected and easily accomplished the feat. The Butler Herald is informed by Mr. W. W. Foy, who lives on Mr. A. M. Walkers place, near Carsonville, that he has a col lard head which is four and a half feet in diame ter, and in the middle of that collard head one of his hens has built a nest and has laid in it six or eight times. Mr. Foy and Mr. Walker have both seen this and assert it to be a positive fact. [Somebody’s reputation is at stake ; and we call upon “ old Jackson” to stand by her colors and “ strike till the last armed foe expires !”—Ed. News.] The mountain counties will produce large quantities of pork this season. The mast is good and corn in abundance has been raised which can be put in meat and made ready for market by the middle of January. The hogs in the mountain section always get fat on the mast and it takes but little grain to har den their flesh and make them ready to kill. —Gainesville Southron, 9th. On Friday evening, (sth inst.) in Gaines ville, Jerry Smith, a crippled colored man, was killed dead as a mackerel, having been stabbed in the left breast with a jack-knife in the hands of Henry Winter, another negro. The difficult}' grew out of a dispute between Jerry and Ileury’s wife, who were gambling, over fifty cents and a quantity of mean whis ky. mixed np with a deck of cards ; just the articles, with a jack-knife and an old pistol thrown in, that causes more difficulty among the negroes than everything else combined.— Southron. “Misery Loves Company” Is one of the old and trite maxims handed down from time immemorial; and as we strug gle and writhe under the oppression and in justice meted out under the present various “ systems" of government, it is at least some consolation to realize that there are those who sympathise with us, and who are not so “dead” and callous to the evils spoken of as to be afraid to let their sentiments be put on record in denunciation of the present extrav agance on the one hand, and high-handed rob bery on the other. Read, ponder and “digest” the sentiments contained in the two following extracts: — THE STATE TAX IS IMPERIOUS. Here it comes, mountain upon mountain, crushing and tearing, mailing and rending. The State Tax must be paid now, or here goes the Sheriff and deputies to levying and selling like bulls in a cane break. Every villain to his purse, and his “rags” to the ravenous horde. Per cent, and costs and fees hand round in the merry dance—the mad dance. Let it come. The State must be plethoric, the people may bleed. The hammer is going, and let him who wouldn't be crushed walk up to the captain’s office and fork over. The time is come, and though the gaunt belly and the shivering frame, the bare head and peer ing heels and toes sutler on. the tax must be paid. Though the land is filled with woe and want, and man cannot strain out the prospect of his part, after running to and fro. because business languishes—it must come. It must, and shall, and will come. Fellow citizens ! Don’t some people play the fool mightily ? Do they show in public matters the same amount of discernment that they do in their private affairs ? Wouldn’t one be called a madman to act thus ? Or do they care ? Is the State, the creature for our good, to be our remorseless oppressor ? Shall the fixed time remain from year to year the same, when business is driven back two months from what it formerly was ? Who can force collections at a given time now-a-days ? Why should the State suspend collections, and create homesteads between its citizens, for relief purposes, and j’et inex orably demand the last cent to itself, as promptly as in former days—r.nswer us, ye solons.— At. Independent. TAXES. It seems to us that taxes are much higher than they’ ought to be, and we think if the proper economy were used in the administra tion of affairs that they might be greatly re duced. The cry' of retrenchment has been heard every since Bullock, the usurper, and his hungry gang were driven from power, but it lias been in vain, and the people are still compelled to groan under the burden of un reasonable taxation. There is something wrong somewhere, and it should be sought out and corrected. There are two many offi cers, and their salaries are too high for the hard times. Why is it that it requires so much more money to run the government now than it did before the war? We have often wished to see a solution of this problem, but have never seen it. The necessities of the times require that the struggling people deny themselves and practice the most rigid economy in order to make an honest living, and those who hold public office should make some sacrifice also. The people should pro test against the unjust tax that is imposed upon them, and demand a reduction. We are no croaker when we think justice is done ; but while we live we intend to speak out and denounce oppression, injustice and public robbery. —Cherokee Georgian. THE NEGRO AND HARD TIMES. We insert the following remarks of the Nashville ( Tenn .) American, for two or three reasons. First, the remarks apply with equal force to all sections of the South—to a great er or less extent. Second, the article is quite complimentary to all parties concerned, and is. to our mind, deservedly true ; and lastly, the colored reader may, in our opinion, learn a most valuable and important lesson from its perusal; which in the end, it is hoped, will inspire him with a still further desire to act in conformity with aud adopt the senti ments so clearly set forth in the article : “ There is one good effect of the hard times which is generally acknowledged but which has not been much noticed by the press. The negro had not become a thrifty, industrious citizen, lie was too much dis posed to have his own way just to show that he knew he was free, lie was too much inclined to seek the higher walks of life, where a plug hat and a cane were the symbols of freedom and gentility. If he was compelled to work to live, he was deter mined to do a very little work and a great deal of living; and he had a provoking preference for working on his employer’s hen-house, rather than his farm. He consid ered that leisure and aristocracy are synony mous. and he was the least bit provident in order that he might be an aristocrat half the year. We do not mean to complain of the negro either. It was to be expected that he would kick up his heels and frolic awhile after the harness was removed. Alto gether he has done well, and all things considered he has been a fair producer. It was necessary, however, for him to recog nize the fact that lie is a laborer for awhile yet, and to don the harness again in some form or other, and the hard times have cer tainly had the effect to teach him that persis tent energy and well being are necessary concomitants. Certainly the negro has never worked so hard as he has done within the past two years. He has never had such an opportunity of finding out that his white neighbors, who own the property and land in this country, are the best and only friends he has. Hard as times have been and diffi cult as our white population have found it to live through the past two years, to their honor it should be said, that the negroes who had nothing and no means of living have not been permitted to suffer. They have in many places had a hard struggle, but they have found their white neighbors ready to preserve them from starvation and to provide work of some kind for them. Many men have employed hands when they could have got along without them, and ail have recognized the duty of the employer to stand by his employee to the extent of his ability. “This has had a good effect on the negro. It has taught him a useful lesson concerning his entire dependence upon the white man, or rather their mutual dependence. It has taught him that he must labor with unceas ing energy ; and for the past year his efforts have been such as to give promise of better things. The results of his labor are shown in the large production of tips abundant har vest. \Vqilu he has been less foolishly inde pendent, more respectful and more industri ous, he has also been more moral, and there has been everywhere less complaint of crime and theft than in more prosperous years. We can well afford to have passed through this period of hardship, if it shall have permanently improved the laboring class, ami taught them a propor—not a servile—spirit of dependence, and disposed them to labor for their own improvement and for building up the wealth of the country, and becoming themselves a thrifty’, frugal, industrious population.” GEORGIA LANDS AND CROPS. We do not believe the space occupied could be filled with more interesting or encouraging information than will be found in the follow ing “ scraps" taken at random from our ex changes : Fifty’ acres of land in Monroe county, which had been in cultivation for fifty years, were made to yield one thousand bushels of corn the past season.— Sav. Neivs. Eugene Atkinson, of Morgan county, has gathered two five hundred pound bales of cotton from two acres, and expects to get an other bale from the same patch. —Madison Home Journal. Mr. Malcom, near Mars Hill, assisted by r his son 13 years old, made this year upwards of 300 bushels of wheat, a large qnantity of oats, abundance of corn and meat to do his family. Besides this, he has made on 12 acres of ground ten bales of cotton, averaging 500 lbs. each. The whole crop is wortii upwards of $1,500. —Athens Watchman. 11. H. J. writes to the Macon Telegraph from Thomasville: Miss Joanna Bowman exhibited a bale of beautiful cotton, which she had planted with her own hands, plowed and cultivated, picked and hauled to the gin. The same lady, assisted by her sister, last year raised five bales of cotton, tlie proceeds of which were applied to the liquidation of a debt on the homestead. We were shown last week, by Maj. Sim mons, who is a successful cotton grower, the finest stalk of cotton, of the Dickson variety’, we have seen this year. It is now on exhi bition at Spence’s store, and we doubt wheth er it can be beat in the county. This stalk is only a sample of an acre and a half patch, which will make two bags of cotton. — Law renceville Herald. One of our Brooks county Grangers tells us that he lias sold one thousand bushels of corn this fall, for which he has realized one dollar per bushel; and he still has one hun dred more to spare. In addition to the above he has made about four bales of cotton, and raised hogs, potatoes, pinders. oats and cane in abundance. This is the product of a two horse farm, without any hired labor, his two young brothers being his only assistance.— Quitman Reporter. The Macon Telegraph say’s that Mr. G. N. Monroe, of Marion county, had specimens of the St. Domingo y’am potato on exhibition at the Fair, which evinced superior fecundity of production. The editor saw not less than a peck of the tubers adhering to a single root. This potato lias the advantage over all others of yielding fine crops upon ordinary soil, but keeps during the winter almost like ear corn. Mr. Monroe raised 750 bushels per acre and harvested 2,000 bushels of this invaluable esculent, which is destined to be a blessing to the coutry. Here is something suggestive from the Ap peal : “About twelve months since a farmer living near Cuthbert was taken with the Wes tern fever, and sold his plantation l’or less than $2.50 per acre, in order to make the change. The purchasers this year gathered over three hundred bushels of corn from less than 15 acres of this ground. One of the own o/s of this place showed us the other day an car of corn grown by them which measured eleven inches in circumference and was over nine inches in length. Still, some of our farm ers will continue to buy corn the year through, and are always talking about the glorious West.” Marietta Journal: Mr. R. S. Eidson, who lives near Big Shanty', Cobb county, is a man of remarkable energy and industry, consid ering the fact that he lost his right arm in the late war, and has only his left hand to work with. In the cultivation of his farm this year he made, off of five acres of ground, one hundred and thirty bushels of corn and fifty-three bushels of wheat, besides a large quantity of potatoes, turnips, peas, etc. Two of the acres produced seventy-five bushels of com. This is not only creditable to the soil of Cobb, but also to Mr. Eidson, and shows that there is as much in the man as in the land. There is no telling how much lie would make if he had two hands to work with. Col. 11. 11. Jones, observing bales of beg gar lice hay at the Thomasville Fair, thus writes : “The history and value of this for age crop deserves more than a passing notice. About ten years since it was introduced into this region from Florida, and soon, borne by the winds and birds, began to spread in all directions, until now it has covered the entire surface of the country'. So tender and juicy is the plant, and sweet and delicate to the taste, that horses and cattle will abandon pea fields, if any' is to be found in the vicinity', and prefer it to every' other description of forage. The seed, which resembles millet, though nearly black, comes up like crowfoot gjass in the fields, after the cultivation ofthe growing crop is over. The growth is very rapid, and it soon shades the ground com pletely, thus protecting it from the ray's of the sun, and is also exceedingly useful as a fertilizer. It is only recently that the farm ers have become aware of the inestimable val ue of this gift of a bountiful Providence, and if properly' utilized it can be made to drive out all the Northern and Western hay', which is such a grievous tax to our people. Indeed, why should a dollar be expended for forage while Indian corn can be sown for stock, and crab grass, millet, oats and this new food plant can be raised and saved with so little outlay and in such abundance ? The “beg gar lice” should be sown just before the last ploughing of corn, and afterward will take care of itself. It is easily cured, and grows luxuriantly' on almost any soil. Here’s richness! A young man named Rowe was arrested in Muncie, Indiana, last week, charged with stealiug money from the ey r es of a corpse, with which he was sitting up. The amount taken was seventy-five cts. The Empire State still ahead ! The above paragraph will count very well for “mean,” but a gay and festive y'outh in Wilkes coun ty' has eclipsed it by' obtaining $1.50 from his flame to get a marriage license to marry' her, but got it for another girl and married her. sells the cheapest Oil and Lamps, at Kilgore’s stand, Athens. FIGHT RADICALISM. SENATOR GORDON TELLS WIIAT CHECKED THE TIDAL WAVE —THE NATIONAL CANVASS MUST BE MADE AGAINST THE CRIMES OF RADICAL ISM ! The other day, while Senator John B. Gor don was in Charleston, he was interviewed by a reporter of the News and Courier, when the following colloquy was had : THE INTERVIEW. Reporter. —Gen. Gordon, I shall be very glad to have your views as to the causes which have checked what we call the “democratic tidal wave?” Has the currency question served to defeat the democrats at the north ? Gen. Gordon. —Well, sir, in one sense, it has. In another sense, the currency question has had nothing to do with it. Let me ex plain what I mean. If you intend by your inquiry to ask if the platforms on currency adopted by Ohio and Pennsylvania defeated the democrats in those states, I answer no. They would have lost those states upou a hard money or contraction platform just as surely, and, perhaps, by larger majorities. You see, in New York, on a hard-money platform, the democrats, while they have carried the state, have in truth lost far greater strength, as com pared with the last vote, than have the dem ocrats of Ohio and Pennsylvania on a green back platform. So that the currency question, either because the one side or the other was popular or unpopular, right or wrong, has had nothing to do with the defeat of the northern democracy. Reporter —ln what sense, then, has this cur rency question aided in this defeat ? Gen. Gordon —Why, sir, in the sense that it served to direct the public attention from the corruptions and maladministration of the party in power. If the democratic party had absolutely uuited either upon the one side or the other of this currency question, and had made it a leading issue in these campaigns, we should still have been defeated, for the democratic party of the union, upon any oth er issues except those I have mentioned— the corruptions and maladministration of the republican party—fight at great disadvantage. They go to war upon new issues on which the public mind is not made up, with a strong party backed up by all the departments of the administration, and with which the majority of the northern people have long been acting. In other words, when we confine ourselves to the work of exposing the extravagance, the profligacy, the gigantic frauds, the southern policy of the republican party and its efforts to keep alive, for its own purposes, sectional alienations, then we have on these issues, fur nished good reasons to the people for aban doning that party. Then we have, I sincere ly believe, the honest men of all parties with us, and upon these issues, and these alone, the democrats would, in my judgment, have carried both Ohio and Pennsylvania and the state of New York would not have lost its fifty thousand majority. Any other question which served to divert public attention from the true grounds upon which the people ought to be asked to expel from power the republican par ty would have been just as disastrous to the democrats as this currency question. Reporter —Then general, you do not con sider the elections as so discouraging to democrats in 1876? Gen. Gordon —No, Ido not. Of course it would have been more satisfactory to me to have seen the dmocrats successful in all these states ; but if the reverse serves to set aside this question of finance, and, sir, every other question which distracts public attention from the exposures which we have already made, and may yet make, of radical corrup tions. ivhat we consider reverses may prove beneficial to the democratic party in the end. Reporter —Then you think the republicans would be very glad to have new issues intro duced. Gen. Gordon. —Of course they would, and it does not matter with them much what these new issues are ; whether they be the currency, the acquisition of Cuba or a war with the Pope—anything rather than their own record. They know very well that the people are against their Credit Mobiliers, their Indian, their railroad and their Wash ington city government rings, and on these would vote them out of power. They have tried war prejudices, southern outrage slan ders, sectional hatreds, dispersion of lawful legislatures, carpet-bag government, and they have seen that the people are heartily tired ot all these ; that the north as well as the south wants honest government, peace and sectional concord, and southern prosper ity, good feeling and harmony restored. Hence, I say the national democracy will mako a serious mistake if they permit any of these new issues to be brought into the next presidential canvass next year; and what I now say after the elections I have said again and again, publicly and private!}’, long before the elections. I have not at all changed my views upon the financial problem; but in truth it is too great a question to be brought on the hustings. It ought not to be made a party question ; it should be discussed with deliberation and kept free from all party ani mosities and feelings. Reporter —Do you think that the national democratic party will, after the lessons of Tuesday, be disposed to drop the currency question in the presidential canvass ? Gen. Gordon —l am satisfied that they will; that the currency question will not be made either paramount or prominent; and that both wings of the democratic part}’, on the cur rency question, and the liberal republicans will unite in ’76 in favor of the constitution, local government, honest and economical ad ministration. _ cHi'ii) Idoertisemeuts.
