We are need ing rain in the city. *@LMr. OdijahElam left at our office yesterday one of the finest cabbage wo We seen this season. Ho informs us that he will make enough off a small patch to feed his cows and family daring the winter. The Crops.—We would bo pleased to receive from our country friends, reports concerning the prospects of tho growing crops. The importance of a thorough kuowledgeof the actual prospects of our agricultural interests, cannot be too highly estimated. Wo will gladly receive any anthentio reports of the condition of the crops for publication. A Valuable Book.—We are indebted to the house of J. W. Burke & Co, of Macon, for a copy of Dickson’s Practical Treaties on Agriculture. It is one of the most useful books of tho age, and should be in the hands of every farmer. It em bodies Mr. Dickson’s entire system of agriculture. The work is neatly printed heavy paper, from clear type, making large Royal Octavo volume. To planter, the work is invaluable. See ad- vertuement Onr readers will not bo at a loss to know the name of the author of “Bag- tag,” which appeared in the last number of tho Official (?)

Xvts At Home.. After an absence of two weeks, we returned home on Saturday, July 2d. Daring oar absence we visited a number of coontiea in Southwestern Georgia and other portions of the State. On our tour we had the pleasure of instituting several lodge* of Good Templars, and of visiting those already established; and are happy to say that a great awaken ing is taking place in the minds of the people. At no distant day we expect to see a temperance association in every town and village, and there will be so much just indignation against the retail ers of ardent spirits that they will hang their heads in shame when reminded of their ignoble calling. From our own observations of the crops, and information gathered from planters with whom we have convened, we give it as our candid opinion that, should no disaster befall the crops, the yield of both cotton and corn will far ex ceed that of the past year. It is true a great deal of the cotton we saw is small, bat it is all doing well. We heard some farmers complaining that the lice had appeared on their cotton, and with this exception we heard no other complaint. The cotton which suffers most is that which has come up since the late rains. We were pleased to learn that a great deal more corn has been planted than was formerly supposed. Many a planter who had to boy corn the present year to carry on his farm, will make more than enough to do him another year. This crop, wherever we have been, is looking remarkably well. The pea and potato crop is also doing well. Upon the whole, think there is no reason to complain of the present condition of the growing crops. Drunk.—Young man did you ever stop to think how that word sounds ?— Did you ever think wlxat misery and wliat woe yon brought upon your friends, when you degraded your manhood by getting drunk ? 01 it is fearful to tram ple under foot the high claims that God and man have upon you. Drank 1 How rings in the ears of a loving wife !— How it mokes the ears of a fond mother bleed ! How it crushes out the hopes of doting father, and brings reproach and shame upon a loving sister! Drunk! See him as he leans against some house. He stands ready to fall into the open jaws of hell, unconscious of his approach ing fate. The wife, with tearful eyes and aching heart, sits at the window to hear her husband's footsteps; but alas they come not. He is drunk! The husband, the parent, is drank, spending his time and money when he should be at home enjoying the pleasures and comforts of the circle ! He is spending the means of support for liquor. While his family is starving for bread, his children suffering for clothing. Drank! His reputation gone, gone!

If we ore to have another fire company, would it not be well to make .arrange ments for more water. We are sure that every measure the Council will pass looking to the safety of property will meet tho ready approbation of the people. B6L. We understand that the people of Atlanta were very much disappointed at the non-appearance of out jouag friend, Sam. Lumpkin, Esq., at the recent Good Templar’s Convention, in DeGive’i Opera House. Mr. Lumpkin had been announced as one of the speakers, and the people were anxious to hear him.

Insure Your Life.—There is no way i which a small sum of money can be profitably and securely invested as in policy on Life, because tho payments of single premium secures a much larger sum than the investment of the some amount in an ordinary way could do.— Said Ben. Franklin: “ A policy of Life Assurance is the cheapest and safest mode of making a certain provision for < family. Many a widow and orphan have had great reason to be grateful that the advantage of Life Assurance was under stood and embraced by the husband and father. ” In these days when Insurance Compa- ies aro springing up almost daily, it natural for every one who intends taking out a policy, to make enquiries os to the reliabilities of the Company before be sores. While there are many companies we might recommend to our readers as in every way worthy their confidence, yet we know of none more so than the Cotton States Life Insurance Company, of Macon. It is a home institution : its officers and directors all reside in Geor gia. To those seeking insurance, we know of no Company that offers greater induceilents. To those desiring farther information o direct their attention to the advertise ment of the Company, which appears ii the Republican this morning. The people of Americus should petition the Legislature during tho pres ent session to revise the city charter so as to require the legal voters to bo regis tered.

Special to the Daily Journal. Washington, July 2.—Secretary Fish will probably tender his resignation to tho President next week, but it is well understood that it will not be accepted, unless Mr. Fish persists in its acceptance.

Our correspondent is right; a “rat” mean, very mean. A “rat” among printers is a mean, low-lived, debased, villainous scoundrel, whose word is not worth its utterance; a man who promises to conform to certain scales of prices, and then wilfully violates his word;* man who connives, lies, underworks, perjures, burroas for patronage. We have encountered some exceedingly long-tailed specimens in our day. But they are always short-lived. • Communicated. Americus District Conference. This body, composed of members from the various charges in tho Americus Dis trict, convened iu Oglethorpe, on the evening of tho 22d June. The Conference proper was not organ ized until the following day, when upon the call of the roll it was found that there was only a fair representation from the District. Many of the members were kept at home by that terrible tyrant at this season of the year, “ King Grass. In the absence ot a Bishop Rev. J. B. McGehee, Presiding Elder of the District presided in the Conference. The Conference resolved to transact business without the appointment of tho usual Committees, the law leaving it at the option of the Conference to have Committees or not The Conference con sidered the various interests of the Church in the District, os a “Committee of the whole. ” The plan worked well as none of the time of the members was consumed in Committee meetings, and more time given to the immediate business of body. The pastors and delegates from the rious charges made fnll reports of the condition of the Chnrch, financially and spiritually : the number anil state of Sun day Schools and all the other interests of tho Church, after which, appropriate action was taken by the passage of reso lutions. A special Committee was appointed to consider the propriety and expediency of publishing the proceedings of the Dis trict Conference for distribution through out the District. The Committee favored the publication of the Minutes, and the Conference adopted the report. The Minutes are to be published in a few weeks. The Conference recommended to the Sonth Georgia Conference at its next ses sion, the formation of a new Circuit in tho bounds of the District, to be called the Smithville Circuit, and to be compos ’d of what is now the Starkv.Ue Mission, Smithville Church in the Magnolia Cir cuit, and Mt, Zion Chnrch in Bethel Cir cuit. It was resolved to hold a District Sun day School and Missionary Convention the Americas District, at such time and place as may be appointed by the Presiding Elder. Such Convention to be composed of members as follows : All the traveling and local preachers, and Sunday School Superintendents, and one other delegate from each Sunday School, in the District The question of Class-Meetings elicited considerable discussion, and was finally disposed of by a resolution to this effect, that each member of this District Confer ence will do his utmost to re-establish class-meetings in the District Dr. Jos.
