Intelligence reached the city yester
day evening of an affair at Jackson, the
details of which may justly exciic the
indignation of every honest and law
libidmg man, no matter to what party
be may belong, ihioughont the Stale.
Our information comes from one and the
responsible citizens of West Tennessee,
ami may be strictly relied on as the
main facts stated.
At Jackson are stationed two com
panies of militia, For several days,
tinder the pretence that the “Rebels”
ati attack, they have been cm*
g: g and in taking arms from the people
of that town and vicinity, They have
not hesitated to enter and search hou
ses, instill women, and pilfer whatever
within their reach, besides com-
Raining a series of other outrages,
f which we have neither time nor space
at present to mention. All this was done
in the name of law and order by the
legalized military custodians of the
peace of Tennessee.
Last Wednesday a eorporal, in
charge of a squad of militia, stopped on
the street Maj. Thos. Hartemns, a
member of Gen. Hates’staff during the
war, and demanded to know whether
lie had a pistol Maj. Hartemns re
plied that he had, look his weapon
from his pocket and handed it 1o the
corporal, remarking, however, that he
considered such conduct on the part
of the militia a usurpation and that he
surrendered the pistol under protest. —
'l’his was said in a quiet, u»inpns.sion r
ed tone peculiar to Major llartcmus
and no further words passed. With
out any warning whatever, and almost
before Maj. 11. hail ceased speaking,
the militiaman raised his gun, look de
liberate aim and shot him through the
breast. As socn as the murder be
came generally known, which was but
a few moments after its perpetration,
the wildest -excitement prevailed
throughout thetown. The people had
borne with some degree of patience the
| indignities and insults ofmany months,
I but this last crowning outrage seemed
all hope of deliverance. -

nut from their hiding phi 1 *
Vail tlie preparations begun
■generally precede a bloody
Bk. Armed men commenced to
arri'e Irom all parts of the county,
and had it not been for the counsels
and interference of the older and wiser
portion of the community, the militia
would have fared illy. A feeling of des
peration was abroad. No man knew
wli.tn his like would be taken by these
legalized ruffians, and all felt that de
, cii ive action, no matter what might
be ihe odds, could not be too soon ta
ken.
In the meantime the militia were a
wnre of what was going on and made
preparation to stand on the defensive.
While the bitterness on boll) sides was
hourly growing more bitter, and a sail *
jrttitinry collision seemed almost inevi
table, a detachment of United States
troops, which had been sent lor, arri
ved at Humboldt. The commanding
officer once took stops suited to the
emergency and dispersed the citizens.
As soon as these troops arrived a dis
patch was sent from the militia camp
for the negro company stationed at
Trenton to proceed at once to Jack
son. With the cowardi se «f the con
science stricken, the militia feared an
attack was to be made on them by the
regulars. Fortunately there was no
i trther disturbance, nod up to a late
hour yesterday evening all was quiet
at Jackson.
At last accounts Major llartcmus
wound was considered mortal, with
hardly a possibility that lie could sur
vive nfany hours. All who know and
Jove him—and they are scattered
throughout the breadth ol
the At ate —will receive wilt deep sor
row, the particulars of the tragedy bv
which he met his fate. No soldier of
the Confederacy made a more bril
liant record. Since the close of the
war he has practiced law in Jackson,
his native town, and has exercised a
commanding and beneficial influence in
that section ot ». he country. He is a
iniahle, almost to a fault ; the last matt
in world who would provoke or
force a quarrel.
We did not learn whether the perpe
trators of the murder had been arres
ted. Judge Bond, who is now holding
the Circuit Court at Jackson, declared
however that the guilty party should
be taken “dead or alive,”
General Cooper states that all the
Information lie has received about the
affair was contained it’ a briet telegram,
received Thursday night, to the effect
that two of the militia had shot a man
and that an attack from the citizens was
apprehended.
The King of the Pumpkins. —lt is
ille custom at the “Halles” the great
center market,) to crown the largest
pumpkin brought to Paris as the “Ivin;,

■weighed more than two hundred pounds,
and was seven ieet in circumference.
The ceremonv consists in decorating
with flowers and ribbons the huge
vegetable, and bearing it triumphantly
around the market, followed by all the
market people, singing the popular
songs of the day. Charivari says .

Our readers can, at once, see that we have
greatly enlarged our paper, this week, It is
now the larger ! country weekly paper in I'her
ofcee Georgia, an i we design making it a pa
per worthy the patronage of the people of the
place and section in which it is published.—
We have a growing and prosperous town of
nearly two thousand inhahitanta, which will
ultimately reach five thousand, and the sur
rounding country unsurpassed in many re
spects.
It must not he understood that we enlarge
our paper because wc are flush of means. Far
from it. The paper is not yet, by any means,
what we want it to he or even ought to be.—
Itisenlarged.it is true, but not improved in
typographical appearance os it should be and
would be ifall our patrons would do their du
ty. The means with which to buy new type
is credited out and we cannot g-ct it—or have
not, as yet. Again, we have some business
men and houses in our midst who are with
holding the pittance due the printer, and who
are sharing the prosperity of the town that the
newspaper is largely instrumental in securing,
and who get the benefit of reading it without
paying for it. Some men fail to see that a
newspaper is of any advantage to a place or
community, or that anything else is except
their own business. But we rejoice to know
that Cartersville is not very sorely afflicted
with that class of men and houses; most of our
business men are lending us a helping hand in
some way.
Ow ng to the late day in which we deceived
our paper this week, alic the consequent difli
culty in re-arranging our forms, we have been
compelled to omit many editorial notices as
well as much miscellaneous matter, and have
been very tight run to get up as much unß- f
as we have. We promise more in the future*.
Facts an«l Figures for Cotton
Planters.
The so lowing article we clip from the Co
lumbus Daily Enquirer , and commend it to
tbe perusal ot our -renders :
Editor Enquirer: —l propose (in a
series of communications) to show the
cost of raising cotton in America and
India, to show the errors [’hitters have
been and still are committing, and the
remedy. I begin with an estimate of
cost of working a plantation, say one
consisting of 1200 acres of land, 50q
acres in cotton, 300 acres in corn, &c.,
and 400 acres in wood and waste lands.
The 800 acres to be worked by 50
laborers cultivating 10 acres in cotton
and 0 acres in corn, &c., to the hand*
and using 24 mules, 33j acres to the
mule —say
Hire of 50 laborers, at average price of
$ 125 per annum $0260
Cost of bacon. 182 pounds to the laborer,
9100 pounds (for 50) at 16c.,about.. .. 1450
Blacksmith’s work and iron to keep up
plows, wagons, &c., in same good
condition as commenced with ; also,
for hoes, axes, traces, harness, flames
and all plantation tools 1000
Insurance against death and theft of 24
mules,-value S4BOO, at 9 per cent 432
Depreciation of mules by age, per annum,
value S4BOO, at 0 per cent. 288
Superintendence ot overseer, his board,
L 12^0
Depreciation of land, houses, gin, screw,
&c., annually * sOh
State and County taxes 100
Bcntol land, or interest on land, mules,
provisions, &c, valued at $20,000, at
7 per cent 1400
No estimate for ptovisions, as it is sup
posed the 300 acres will replace the
amount consumed 900
No charge for bagging and rope, as it
will about refund cest 000
Cost of operating plantation $12,070
As the lands will differ in production, I
submit the following as the yield per acre so
that it may he seen what it costs under
dilferent conditions:
I begin vvi'h 300 pounds per acre of reed
cotton and extend up to 1500 pounds—say
300 ibs seed cotton on 500 acres, yields 45,000
pounds lint, ats2S 15. gives $12,667
400 lbs seed cotton on 500 acres yields 6U.000
pounds lint, at sl2 12, gives 12,672
500 fcs. seed cotton on 500 acres yields 75/00
pounds lint, at $1690, gives 12,675
800 lbs seed cotton on 505 acres, yields 120.-
000 pounds lint, at $lO 56, gives. . .. 12.672
1000 llis. seed cotton on 560 acres, yields 150-
000 pounds lint, at $5 63, gives. . . .12,667
It will thus be seen that the richer the land
the less cost of production, aud in an increas
ing ratio, that is worth the close attention of
Planters. Land that will not produce over
600 lbs. per acre had b-tter be left uncultivat
ed, as it costs more money to produce it than
the present prices, which range (free of tax)
from 11c. to I3jc., averaging 12}c; unless the
planter can be sure of 800 lbs. or more per
acre, he had better let his land lie uncultivated
and select laud that will produce 800 lbs. or
more, or m ike it rich enough to do it.
I now submit the cost of producing cotton in
India. Cost of production of 20 acres accli
mated New Orlear.- seed) cotton in India :
Labor of cultivating, including hire of
laborers, oxen, feed, &e., 95 rupees— s, and.
equal each to 2 shillings sterling. . . .£9 10 0
Local tax to government lor assessment,
&C., 19 rupees 1180
Ginning and packing, 30 rupees 3 0 0
Cost of cultivating 20 acres £l4 8 0
which produces 13<'0 lbs. and cost about 2|d.
per lb., which-reduced to our currency at 40
per cent, for gold, is equal to 7jc.. while the
average cost in America oa lands producing
600 lbs. is $ 14,C8. The cost of labor tor abie
bodied men there, averages lOd. or 28c. per
dav in our currency, laborer finding himself m
everything, ar.d only employed when required
for working and gathering the crop. Our
laborer costs for hire and meat alone slsl per
annum, full 58c. per day. aud is employed all
the year round, rain or shine, wanted or net.
To such competition wc must yield, unless we
cultivate alone the richest lands, or make rich
all the land we do cultivate. Before the war
the Fast Indies sent annually to England an
average of 500,000 bales; during the war they
increased it tooi.-e milieu; tirst year after the
vrarthev sent one and a half millions, and this
year’s planting is said to exceed alt former
plantings by * 0 per cent, i hese rapid strides
in increased culture, (asalso in Egypt, Brazil.
<Scc..) will continue so long as they undersell
us Before ihe war wUu the l*bjr was
owned and formed the great capita! of the
country, our planting interest prospered from
the increase of that capital, in ttie increase of
the negro and the increase of his value.—
There was then no other profit from planting.
Some seasons when good Crops brought good
price?, a sm *lf sum remained after discharg
ing the current expenses of the plantation, but
quite as often it. less favorable seasons, or from
low prices, the crop failed to discharge the
year’s expenses. We can all bring to mind
the fact that the one who paid up his obliga
tions when the crop was sold, was considered
the thrifty planter, while a large majority left a
portion of their debts unpaid. It is tru* his
estate increased with the increase of his ne
groes, hut it is clear he made no money from
the plantation, or only enough to keep it up.
TLen we kept back production in the rest of
the world, because cur profit, was in the ne
groes, now we hare no profit in them, and wc
come tn coinpetion with cheap labor, (our own
labor being tire dearest agricultural labor in
the world.) and unless We change our po’icv,
wc must yield to othei countries, only in so l'af
as we Cultivate rich land or land made rich by
high manuring. The longer we continue to
cultivate cotton on poor land, the poorer we
will become.
I will hereafter endeavor to point out bur'
mistakes and the remedy.

Columbus, October 5, 1867.
Judge Etvtkiiic Refusesto Grant
a Writ of Habeas Corpus.
Col. Samuel and V. A. Stewart Re
leased on Bond.
These gentlemen, after six weeks
and three days’ confinement under
guard in the barracks in Rome, were
released last Saturday* they giving
bonds of $5,000 each to the Governor
to answer to any charges that may
hereafter be brought against them by
the military or civil authorities of the
United States or of the State of Geor
gia.
It seems to Us'that the conditions of
those bonds take a pretty wide range.
We do not propose to comment upon
those very strange proceedings, but
will give the following facts as we
received them from one of the attor
neys employed by the defendants :
No charges have been preferred
against the Messrs. Stewarts by either
the civil or military authorities. —
They were arrested August 21st —dur-
ing Col, Ritters absence —and on the
12th ot September there was no
knowledge ol their arrest at Gen. Pope’s
head quarters.
On September 30th, Judge Erskine,
after three days’ deliberation, refused
grant a writ of habeas corpus. On
kite sth ol October they were released
>by order of Gen. Pope upon their
/giving bonds as above named.
We learn that Messrs. Stewarts re
ceived uniform kindness from the offi
cers and soldiers of the garrison here,
and that their attorneys, Alexander,
Wright & Rowell, and Wright
Broyles, received only courteous treat
ment from the officers here and at
Atlanta.— Rome Courier.
The South Twenty Years HencE.
—The New York Tribune of a recent
date says ;
There , are 12,000,000 of people in
the South, whereof at lea-t 8,000,000
are whites. There is ample room there
for 50,000,000 more, and crowds are
Hocking in—all of them whites. Eu
rope is sending ns a full thousand a day,
and the South proffers them cheap land,
a genial climate, and employment for
every sort of industrial capacity. Now
that a good harvest has delivered the
Soutli from famine, and her reconstruc
tion is in rapid ptogress, there is no
region on earth that should attract so
many immigrants.
Twenty years hence We will have
25,000,000 to 30.000,000 of people,
whereof the blacks will probably num
ber 5,000,000. Unless all the laws
which have hitherto governed the in
crease of population are subverted* the
whites of the South must increase faster
than the blacks by at least four to one.
Not that the blacks will fail to increase
also, but they are now so recruited by
immigration, and cannot be. Africa
sends forth no voluntary emigrants;
the slave trade is on its last legs, and
no negroes are coming to this country
from any quarter. How. then* is it
possible that the 4,000,000 ol blacks
in this country should overbear the
8,000,000 of whites in the South, with
the millions on the point of flocking
thither ?
Mr Greeley’s Advice to Young
Men.
Mr. Greeley’s autobiography has
been written down to his apprentice*
ship. lie says of the four years of
his life during which he was learning to
be a printer :
‘•I have never since found at once
books and opportunity to enjoy them
so ample as while there ; I do not
think l ever bef*re or since read to so
much profit. They say that appren
ticeship is distasteful to, and out of
fashion with the boys of our days : if
so, I regret it for their sake. To the
| youth who asks. ‘f[o\v shall I obtain
'an education ?’ I would answer
1 -Learn a goou trade of a good master.’
! I hold firmly that most boys may tints
better acquire the knowledge they
kneed than by spending four years in
college. ”
Negro Dictation in Tennessee. —
Governor Brownlow has issued a proc.
lamation declaring that in all munici
pal elections throughout ihe State, the
election officers must be appointed by
the Registration Commissioners, and
that no person will be allowed to vote
who is not qualified by the franchise
law. Iu some towns nearly all the
whites are disfranchised, so that the ne
groes will have absolute control in the
management of municipal affairs.—
'l’he proclamation occasions much ex
citement and comment throughout the
State.
TO BE TESTIFY*.
We are glad to leant that the efficacy
of the President's amnesty proclama
tion in removing the political disability
of a citizefi is about to be tested in a
Court of the United States. The
Montgomery Mail of the 22d inst.,
says: “The Hon. S. Rice* of this ci
ty. yesterday went before the Board of
Registration, subscribed to the registra
tion oath, and claimed the right to reg
ister as a voter under the late amnesty
proclamation of President Johnson,
and was refused. Judge Rice will at
once test the constitutionality of the
law and the proclamation before the
United States Court, This is the first
case tinder the proclamation, and we
are glad to know that the matter is to
be tested and decided by the legal trib
unals. The affidavit was made before
W. R. Wyatt. United States Commis
sioner-.*’
Judge Rice is the right kind ol a
man to make the test. An eminent
lawyer himself, he will make rto mis
take in any process of the action, and
will present the case in the best man
ner. He is also a tnan of inflexible
firmness, who will shrink from r,o dif
ficulties, but press his suit to a conclu 1 *
sion as rapidly as possible.
JEFFERSON DAVIS’ TRIAL.
The Washington Chronicle of the Ist
says :
The Government ha3 riot authorized
the publication ot anj' intimation as to
its Course in the trial of Jefferson Davis
at the November term of the Circuit
Court in Richmond ; consequently all
tite statements that have heretofore
been published are mere surmises. It
is semrofficially staled, however that
the Government will be obliged to ask
for a further postponement of the trial*
which request will assuredly be follow
ed by a motion on the part of the coun
cil for the defence to enter a nolle pro
sequi. Their motion will be urged at
length before Judge Underwood or
Chtel Justice Chase : but it is not cer
tain that the latter will be present at
the trial. The idea that Attorney Gen
eral Staubery has anything to do di
rectly With the case is erroneous, as
District Attorney Chandler, of Virgin
ia, is alone responsible for the manner
in which it is conducted, andMr.Stau
berry has merely been called on to au
thorize him to employ assistance in
prosecuting the triai. Mr, Stanberry
has, of course, been consulted regard
ing the matter, and could, if he choose
to do so, volunteer his services in the
case ; but Mr. Chandler is at present
the only officer who can be held re
sponsible for the delay if it oc

A tall, keen-eyed countryman walked
into a Court room during the progress

might be pointed out to him. The
lawyer he accosted being somewhat of
a wag, pointed to the jury. The stran

turning to his informer* he remarked-:
•Well, they are a hard-looking set,
ain’t they? 1 know by their looks
they ought to go to State’s prison,

Among the novelties exhibited at the

will have the machine patented for this
country, anti it will be used in New

make it mingle politics with prayer,
this will certainly be its doom.

of the harvest season, and the royal oak,
king of the forest, mossy with age and
ivy-crowned, he too puts on the manv

\V hen I thought of my humble cot away,
I could not suppress a sigh*
But thought, as I rolled in that feathery nest
How easily editor's lie."

for our lormer negro slaves. At first
their inefficiency was attributed to a
change of climate, and the want of
familiarity with cur agricultural instru
ments and manner of cultivation.—
The fact is become final and undenia

be relied on in making a crop. They
are lazy, mutinous, obstinate and
thievish. Such is the verdict of the
planters who have employed Chinese
