Farmers’ Papers.
There is a great difference between the far
werV papers of to-dav, and twenty-five years
ago. Then, science and "book farming” was
decried as tending only to useless expense
in trying false theories ; and, indeed, so it
•lid. so poor was the so-called science of that
time. Hut now the sciences pertaining to ag
riculture have beewtte so systematized, and
f Midi immediate practical benefit in their
applications, that intelligent farmers every-
Where arc intensely eager to learn the teach-
of lienee ; they have become convinced
that true “science is knowledge, scientific is
knowing : just that and nothing less or more,"
The first of agricultural journals to appreciate
thin want in its breadth was the SCtvniijic
Former, of Boston Mass,, which. P.s its name
implies, is devoted to this branch of farm lit
erature, and which the editors announce to
be published "in the interests of profitable
a kind of agricultuae
ttceding development. Judging from its re
cord thus far, it fully lives up to its inten
tions. Its departments include Chemistry ,
Botany dad Horticulture , Dairy awl Stock,
twlrfittary. Entomological. The Field. Con
ff'frnre, Corner , and Miscellaneous —on Farm
l*ractice, Rural Architecture, The Farmer in
Politics, etc., —all being conducted on that,
idea *>f correct ness which is to advance the
farm profit, and lift Agriculture to a higher
social position. What is not common to sci
entific journals, the reading matter of the Sci
entific Farmer is written in a simple straight
forward style, devoid of hard technical terms,
and is easy reading to any intelligent farmer.

ted cover, and begun to illustrate the text.
At the low price of one dollar ($1.00) a year,
it is indeed a bargain to every subserber;
but in addition to this, extraordinary induce
ments are offered for clubs, and even single
subscriptions, for a small additional amount,
in the way of good seeds, strawberry plants
and oilier small fruits —which otfer goes far
toward proving the statement ofthe publishers,
that they "give the greatest value for the
least money." Send a stamp to the Scientific
Farmer Cos., Boston, Mass., for a sample copy

Positive Results. There are numerous
remedies that cure sometimes and become
trusted as useful, but none have ever proved
im effectual —cured so many and such remark
able cases—as Dr. Ayer's medicines.
The Cherry pectoral has restored a great

quickly and surely.
Ayer’s Compound Extract of Sarsaparilla
eradicates scrofula and impurities of blood,

some disorders that cause a decline of health
are expelled or cured.
Ayer's Pills and their effects are too well

Betttr than Orange Farms in Florida.
For the past year t>r two, man}' of our peo
ple have had a Florida fever, almost as viru
lent as the California fever of twenty-five
years ago. The re|>orts from the orange
groves had produced as golden dreams as the
great mines of the West. No doubt immense
revenues have been yielded by the Southern
orange groves ; at least, such statements have
spread over the country, and moved by them,
a considerable amount of Northern capital
has (lowed into that sunny land. So
has been flic eagerness to secure an orange
! grove and from that a competent revenue for
life, that the supply of this delicious fruit has
been vastly increased, and the prices corres
pondingly reduced. The same amount of
capital thus invested, will not yield anything
like the per cent, commanded even a Tew
years since ; and while the income has dimin
ished. the price of new groves and even ofthe
land for new groves has largely advanced.—
Now, this species of property is little more
remunerative, from the amount of labor and
capital, than the older and more settled avo
cations, while it requires considerable capi
tal to commence the business.
W e arc profoundly impressed, that the peo
ple of Jackson county can find a Florida at
home, which would yield a better return, on a
much smaller capital, and less labor, without
going among the sandflies and mosquitoes.—
The business we propose, is akin tonne which
seems so attractive in our neighboring State.
We have carefully noted several long, flat,
sandy ridges, extending almost through our
county, and very remark ably adapted to the
culture of peaches and other fine fruits, which
always command highly remunerative prices
in Northern cities, and even good prices in
many of the Southern cit ies. We have no-
ticed, also, that some of the localities never
fail to produce a good peach crop, even when
this fruit is destroyed by late frosts in all
ot her portions of the country. This is notably
true of the ridge along which the Northeast
ern Railroad runs. Wc find there an area of
some twenty-five miles in length, and varying
from two to five in breadth, and more pecu
liarly suited to the culture of fine fruits than
any country we ever saw.
We suppose the most of our readers know,
that the little State of New Jersey is one of
the most thrifty in the Union, and also, the}-
probably know, that one of the principal
sources of revenue to the prosperous Jersey
man, is the growing of fruit. Indeed, the
products of their orchards and gardens are
their chief exports, and are regarded by them
as no less staple articles than tobacco in Vir
ginia. or cotton in Georgia. What then could
possibly pay better than a small capital, such
only as most of our people can command, in
vested in a fruit farm on the ridge above men
tioned ? Such a venture could be made, not
only with a certainty of a fine harvest, but of
a ready transportation, and a fair prospect of
immense profits. Indeed, we confidently ex
pect, if our own people do not engage in this
enterprize, that the shrewd Yankee, scenting
the dollar from afar, will soon he found here,
as in Florida, busy as a bee, and gathering
in fortunes where we saw nothing but a samh*
desert, or a profitless waste. We have often
urged our farmers to utilize the much abused
Bermuda grass on stock farms, and we have
told them that there were millions in it, that
it would yield much greater income on the
same land, and with one fourth of the labor
which cotton costs. They are letting their
prejudices, and their lack of enterprise, as we
| think, deprive them of much wealth, while
with vast outlays of labor and capital, they
continue to glut the cotton market, and yet,
grumble at the low prices.
We have made the above suggestions, know
ing that newspaper farming is worth very lit
tle, and thinking that every one understands,
or ought to understand his own business bet
ter than we do. For this reason, we have very
seldom intruded our advice on farmers, whom
we respect most highly, still we are impress
ed that they are, as a general rule, too loth,
from habit, to give up plans which have prov
en profitless; and too averse to trying any
new enterprize, and hence, lose the heavy
profits. Let them look out!

“The Capital Question.”
The Manager of this paper deems no apol
ogy necessary for the space taken up in the
discussion of this matter in the Forest News.
It is a subject of much import to the citizens
of the Commonwealth—from the most humble
to the most prominent—and therefore should
be ventilated fully. Besides, the “die” will
soon be cast; a few more short weeks, and
the “agony” and suspence will be over.—
Therefore, let the people have “light.” that
they may act prudently and understandingly.

For the Forest News.
THE CAPITAL.
Editor Forest NfcWs: —In your last is
sue, appeared Economy's second epistle, com
posed of thanks, admissions, promises, some
eloquence, a little pathos, reaffirmances, and
not a single reason, dust here, permit me to
state to him that he is perfectly welcome to
all he thanked me for.
In my last article. I stated, as Mr. Econo
my charges, that his affirmations, with
out proof, were not entitled to respect. Eco
nomy, in his last letter, agrees with me, he
says: ‘‘l candidly admit that any assertions
of mine, without proof, are entitled to no cre
dit." " But,” sa3's Economy, “ I did give
evidence to sustain each reason.” The first
reason given by Economy for going hack to
Milledgeville, is, “ because the buildings at
Milledgeville are already erected, and are
good enough for all purposes of State Gov
ernment.”
Now, what is the evidence to sustain this
important statement? Positively none.—
Economy says that, “ Atlanta confesses this.”
While Economy is on the stand, testifying,
the people ask him, “ When did Atlanta con
fess what j*on SAY Atlanta did confess?—
Economy replies, in his first letter, "Atlanta
made the confession in her proposition to
build.” When was that ? Economy replies
in his first letter, “ The people of Atlanta
have never made an offer to build.” You
say, Mr. Economy, "that the people of Atlan
ta have made no offer to build ?" Economy
answers. " They have made none as yet.”
Now, Mr. Editor, that is the evidence Eco
nomy is trying to palm off upon what, I sup
pose. he regards the ignorant voters of Jack
soil county. No wonder lie should admit, that
his assertions “ are entitled to no credit ,”
when he makes a flat contradiction in less
than half a column. “ This spirit” of consis
tency, “ assures me of his own purity of pur
pose and fairness of mind.”
It must be perfectly clear to all, except
Economy, that according to his own reason,
ing. that if Atlanta lias made no proposition
to build, then she lias not made the confes
sion underscored by Economy. This fairly
disposes of his statement (hat the buildings
at Milledgeville are good enough. &e., and
strips it to a nude assertion of his, entitled,
as he admits, and everybody knows—to no
credit whatever.
Economy says, that, " until Gen. Pope, by
military order, moved the government of
Georgia to Atlanta, the old Capitol at
Miledgeville had been occupied by genera
tions of Georgians.” I am ready to admit
the truth of that statement, but I see no ar
gument in it—not a bit. lie won’t rest upon
fair deduction from history long; for in the
next sentence lie asserts that—“ It’s” (i. e.
capitol’s) “compartments had been consider
ed adequate for all purposes." This is quite
a noncommittal statement. If he means that
the compartments had been c msidered ade
quate, &e.. by our grandfathers, at the time
the capitol was built—nearly three-quarters
of a century ago. then he simply gives them
credit for building a capitol at the time, ade
quate. But, if lie means that the compart
ments had been considered, hy the represen
tative men of Georgia, as adequate for all
purposes—from the time it was built, till the
removal to Atlanta—he has simply made an
assertion that cannot be sustained by proof.
If Mr. Economy will examine House jour
nal of 1855-0, pp. 27-8, it will appear unto
him that Gov. Johnson recommended addi
tions to the public buildings, and that the
State House he enlarged. Gov. Johnson then
said, that the buildings were not suitable for
the purposes for which they were intended. —
The same journal will show that pro fessional
architects then agreed with Gov. Johnson.
'Flie same journal will also show, that the
special committee of the Legislature then re
ported. that the Capitol was inadequate; that
there were no committee rooms ; that the re
presentative chamber was too small ; t hat
the structure was very defective. In 1857.
Gov. Johnson again called the attention of
the General Assembly to the fact that the
Legislative halls were too small. Surely, if
they were too small then, to accommodate
the members from ninety counties, they are,
now, certainly too small to accommodate the
members from one hundred and thirty-seven
counties. But this is simply an issue be
tween Mr. Economy, on one hand, and Gov.
Johnson, professional architects and Special
Committee of the Legislature on the other.
Let the people settle it.
Again. Economy sa\ r s that lie has expe
rienced the painful fact that all our people
(with few exceptions.) are embarrassed with
personal debts ; that the State debt is heavy ;
that all our cities, towns and counties are in
debt; that taxes and debts are causing many
of the homes of our people to fall under the
sheriff’s hammer. A huge and multifarious
experience that. To prove this statement is
one thing, and to accuse somebody of being
callous is another and different thing.
It is generally true, when persons become
very much enthused and grow eloquent as
they warm up on their pet theme, and begin
to talk about “Halcyon days of \ 7 ore,” —
“Grand old motto,” and mix morals, politics
and finance, they are apt to deal in little
hyperboles, and have less regard for facts
and arguments than they have for euphony
and rhetoric. In the genuine spirit of pa
thetic love and undying gratitude, Mr. Econ
omy 7 exclaims: “Shall we rob our women
and children of their homss ?” Well, let it
be remembered that some of our mo men have
no homes at Milledgeville, and some of them
never did live there. “ Shibboleth ” —“ Waste
and ruin ?*’ Ruined buncombe and wasted
thunder! When shall we hear the like again?
Economy says that I made a fair deduction
from his position; but that my conclusion
was not accurate. Well, that is rather a cir
cuitous way of admitting that he had assum
ed a false position. If I made a fair deduc
tion from his position, and my conclusion is
false, his position must be false.
“There is something rotten in Denmark.”
Economy promises that he will, in another
article, demonstrate to the satisfaction of
honest seekers for truth, Atlanta’s incompe
tencv to comply, with what, he says, Atlanta
never undertook. An easy task, that!
But “ Hope deferred maketh the heart sick.”
Whether Atlanta has or has not made a pro
position, has absolutely nothing to do with
locating the capitol; and if it did, one could
not tell what to do from Economy’s letter—
for he takes both sides of the question.—
Where ought we to locate the Capital ? this
is the question, and the only one ; and wc
should rise up like men and settle it for good.
And we ought not to get mad and talk about
leaving the State, if things do not happen just
as ice wish. Gen. Pope is not here now —
there is none to molest or make us afraid.—
Let us fully appreciate that part of our mot
to, “ Moderation” ; if we do, surely we will
not advise all our people to resolve never to
visit our State Capitol again, if it should not
be located where one of our big writers wants
it. Let us all keep cool; right side up. with
care. Speko Mf.liora.
