Hl3 Mil-: 1111 XT OF THE ST Af E
ROAD
Letter from Win, If. n a !|-
Leiter from Col. Hiiii>erf.
Greenville, Ga , June 2, 1869,
j\,i:‘sr-< “ telegraph”: The aecouipa-'
nyiug letter from the Superintendent
of the “State Ro:m” yon will please
publish. It is desired* also, that those
papers that have published the letters
of tii-j Treasurer atid inyself, should
give it publicity.
The l«»Uer contains two ideas, and j
two only, which I desire briefly to no- j
tioe. Ist. That at the proper time, 1
and m the usual and proper manner, i
hi* roport of the management of the
r iad will be made, and that it will bo j
.satisfactory to all competent and un
biased judges; that is to say, at the
next meeting of the Legislature, seven \
months hence, we shall be made Satisli- ■
ed that this vastly valuable property '
has been well andJudiciously managed.
When it is remembered that the net <
earnings of the road, with more busi - j
ness than it ever had before, are sls,
000 a month leas than formerly, it may
well be questioned whether this prom
ise t > be fulfilled at so remote a period
will be entirely satisfactory to the pi o
-1 may be an intruder; I may have
violated good breeding, or the official
rules of etiquette, c fi.cn as senseless as
they are disgusting, in se< king infor
mation on a subject of interest to every
citizen of leorgia. Certain it is, were
I the Superintendent of property that
cost the people $7,000,000, and the
net income of that property were $15,-
009 a mouth less than formerly—the
foundation of all the complaint—and
I were called upon in a respectful man
ner by a citizen of the State, high or
h->w, official or no official—especially
j>y one who had voted and used all his
influence in the House of Representa
tives against taking the management
of the same out of iny hands—to ex
plain the reason of the discrepancy. I
could not reconcile it either to my
convictions of duty to myself or to the
people to promise to make a satisfac
tory explanation seiten months hinge;
but I woul 1 doit at onco or frankly
acknown dgo my inability to do it.
2 1. A i to the second idea, it amounts
practically to nothing. Ho might re
commend till doomsday the acceptance
of the proposition of General Austell,
on certain conditions, and in the ab
sence ot a legislative enactment to that
elfect, the proposition could not be Re
ceded to. General Austell’s proposi
tion is now important in one light only,
and that is, in bis judgment, lie can
make the road pay better, and the
jn lym<’nt of such a man has <jreat might
with me.
I make no charge of malversation
against any one I know of here. I
know of none. I sought only an ex
pl.illation upon a matter of great and
general importance, thinking it would
be given with pleasure. Please ]mblish
this. I will give you no more trouble.

Before the war the reason given by
many of our farmers, for adheringto the
old system of agriculture, was “that
father done so and he was successful,”
and if he ‘ varied a j ig in one end of
his saddle-bags and a rock in the oth
er,” it was perfectly safe for the son
to emulate his example. The result of
such reasoning was that up to the war,
the line farming lands of Cherokee
Georgia were well nigh exhausted, so
nearly so that many of our people ver
ily believed that our lands were 'jxii
soned,” by the Yankees. After the
mist of the war had cleared away, and
our farming refugees had returned to
their old homes to resume operations
upon their farms, in their travels, some
of them had been taking observations
and revolving the problem in their
minds “How it was that Tennessee,
Kentucky, Virginia, and other States.
with no superior natural advantages—
— . °
i neither in climate or god, could and
did so far excel us it. their agricultural
I pursuits,” and they determined to di
| gross from "the way that father did,” and
| experiment a little upon the western
| m stem of farming Some few sup
| plied themselves with large turn
ing plows, (mostly Brinley’s) to which
j they attached a pair of mules or yoke
! of oxen, and while their stubble lands
i were grown up in a heavy coat of green
| sward, in the latter part of Summer,
they turned i t under and nt
the same time, turned u p the
earth to the burning rays of the sum
mer sun. Many of our farmers locked
on with a suspicions eye, and shock
their heads, as if to say, “that man’s a
| goose—he’ll ruin his land and make
no crop at that.” The farmer, at the
I same time, evincing somo fears and
! misgivings as to Lis ultimate success,
bill as he had begun the “ experiment ”
he would satisfy himself before giving
it up. The result was, at the end of
the year, that fanner’s land was not
only improved twenty-five per cent in
fertility of soil, but the yield of the
1 product was two-fold. Our farmers,
since that time, ha\e improved upon
these lit.lo “experiments,” until there
! is scarcely one in all the land but who
has supplied, or intends to supply him
self, with a two-horsc turning plow;
and, furthermore, intends to break up
his lands in Summer, and thereby reap
the benefits of the heavy coat of weeds,
grass, etc., by adding these important
and vital vegetable ingredients, to the
soil, (together with liino to disinte
grate) and put back into the soil for
the next crop, what had been extracted
from the same in the growth and ma
turity of the last one. In the absence
of green sward, (instead of using the
many patent fertilizers, some of which
prove to be worthless) common peas
sowed broad cast may be substituted
for one crop; but, from actual experi
ment, clover has abundantly been prov
en to be the best fertilizer that can be
used upon our lands. It is far more
profitable than weeds or peas, from
two considerations: Ist. The first
crop of clover may be turned into hay
for stock, and the second crop turned
under. 2d. The entire crop of clo
ver may be used for grazing stock all
spring, and then suffered to grow up
and be turned under in summer. —
These ideas we cull from the conversa
tions we hear among our farmers, aud
give them for the consideration of our
readers, which may be taken for what
they are worth.
N. Gilreath has just finished Reap
ing a piece of land sown in wheat, is
called here the “Beat-all,” from which,
he has shocked 175 dozen, from one
acre and three-eighths. Counting 2L
dozen to tlio bushel, which is thought
to be a safe calculation for this kind
of wheat, makes a yield of 50 bushels
per acre. We have seen the wheat
ourself and think the calculation
about correct.

Tlie Periodical*.
QrAiriLi.LT Review.— We have re
ceived from the publishers the last
number of “The London Quarterly
Review,” a periodical which has for
the last fifty ye^rs—since it was start
ed, with the editorial chair filled by
Thomas Campbell —maintained such
a deservedly high position among the
English Reviews.
The present number contains a
n umber of interesting articles on va
rious subjects. The most notable sea
hire of tne number, is an essay on
“Modern English Poets,” in which
the British Poet Laureate—Alfred
Thompson— is subjected to a severe,
but we think just criticism. The au
thor of the. Review, after discussing the
merits and demerits of his principal
poems, arrives at the conclusion that
Tennyson, in none of bis woiks, has
displayed the origina’ity of intellect
and comprehensiveness of grasp which
are the characteristics of the great po
et. This article possesses unusual sig
nificance in view of the source from
which it comes, and the fact that an
other English Magazine, scarcely infq-,
rior to the Quarterly—The Temple
Bar—lias also recently published a
most severe attack on the poetical
fame of the Laureate. From appear
ances it seems that England will soon
be agitated by a* fierce a literary' dis
cussion as the celebrated Byron-Bowles
controversy of half a century since.—
Tlris time, however,, instead of the
question, “Was Popo a Poet ?” we
shall have the one “Is Tennyson a
Poet ?”
Edinburgh Review.— The last num
ber of the “Edinburgh Review” has
been received. It contains attractive
articles on litciary, scientific aid finan
cial subjects. Among other papers
there is a long and able article on
“American Finances,” being a review
( of the state of the finances, of the
j United States from the termination of
hostilities in 1865 down to the present
I timo The author, after a careful ex
amination of the United States and
its resources, comes to the conclusion
that tlic country is going to the bad
very rapidly. He believes, with Com
missioner Wells, that every day the
rich become richer and the poor poor
er; nor is this fact disproved in any
way by the corresponding fact that
production increases with great rapid
ity. He pronounces our whole finan
cial system corrupt, an outrage on
common sense, extravagant beyond
I belief and tending to the exaltation of
i fraud and the ruin of honesty.

The Supreme Court Speaks—Negroes
Eligible to Office —Brown Gulps
his Marietta Flash— McCoy True to
Sambo—Warner all Right.
The Supreme Court of Georgia to
day rendered a decision that the negro
is eligible to office.
Brown and McCoy for it, and War
ner dissenting. The room was crowd
ed with interested spectators.
Judge McCoy delivered the opinion
of the Court, with much oratorical
flourish. He premised his legal enun
ciations with a political harangue, in
manuscript, declaimed with much vig
or, and garnished with suitable dramat
ic action.
As he and Chief Justice Brown had
different reasons for thinking the same
way, each read an opinion.
Both were able it must be admitted,
but each smelled rank cf political phy
lacteries. We can not, before going
to pres&j this afternoon, more than al
lude to the theory of each.
Judge McCoy gave a baker’s dozen
of reasons, unto him convincing. He
thought the State was without civil
g overnment before tlie mongrel Con
vention that made the present Consti
tution: that blacks and whites partici
pated in getting up the Convention
and framing the Constitution, and it
was against its spirit and philosophy to
exclude black or white from the privi
leges unless expressly prohibited.
Justice Brown parried diplomatical
ly all specifics, and swam in a huge le
gal generality. The 14th Amendment
forbids anybody being deprived of
privilege, and as the Code gives citi
zens the right to hold office, and the
Constitution makes him a citizen and
dout forbid him to hold office, lie did
not intend to break that 14th Amend
ment and knock the negro out of his
rights.
Judge Warner elaborated the sim
ple and unanswerable point, that the
negro w r as anew political creature m
the body politic; that he must hold of
fice by special enactment; that the
Code which defined the powers of cit
izens was enacted before he became a
citizen, and therefore did not apply to
him; that he did not have the right to
hold office under the common law, nor
by statute since be was made a citizen,
but that the Convention voted down
the proposition to make him eligible
to ou.ee, and that until he was espec
ially authorized to hold office, he was
ineligible.
The whole Court reversed some es
the minor rulings of the Court below,
which we will give in the morning
edition. —At. Con. 15th.

the foundation for a large business at

the safest but much the cheapest for
all parties.

THE TENDENCY OF T*£ TIMES -A REMARK
ABLE LETTER FROM BON. ALEXANDER U.
STEPHENS.
The Hon. A. 11. Stephens has writ
ten a long and elalxirate letter to the
National Intelligencer, giving his views
as to the prime cause of the war be
tween the North and South, and clos
ing wirh tome speculations as to our
political future. We copy the follew
ing paragraphs of the letter:
“And now Mes-rs. Editors, do you
ask, Cui bono f \\ hy so much writ
ten upon the dead issues of the past,
when questions of so much magnitude
of a practical character press upon the
public mind? If so, the reply is two
fold. First, to vindicate the truth of
history, which is itself a high duty oil
the part of any one who has it in his
power to do it; and, in the second
place, to show the people of these
States, in this vindication, not only tlie
true cause, but the real ‘causa causam *
of the late war, but the real cause of
their present troubles. The Federal
machinery for cue last ten years has
been abnormal in its action. It must
bo brought back to the Jeffersonian
doctrines, and made to conform in its
workings with the organic principles
of its structure, before there can possi
bly be a return of the da} sos peace,
harmony, prosperity, and happiness,
which formerly marked our course.—
There is no hope for constitutional lib
erty on this continent. Judge Nicho
las may ‘dream dreams’ about another
constitutional amendment, providing
anew mode of electing the President,
but the remedy lies in no such device
as that. It lies simply iu bringing back
the government in its admistration to
the original first principles. This is to
de done not by secession, however
rightful and efficient a remedy, that
might be. That is abandoned. Nor
is it to be done by force or violence of
any kind, except the force of reason
and the power of truth. It is to be
done, if at all, at the ballot-box. Free
institutions are more generally lost
than established, or strengthened by a
resort to physical force. They are em
inently the achievement of virtue, pa
triotism and reason. That our institu
tions, and even nominal form of gov
ernment is now in great danger, the
prudent, sagacious and wise every
where virtually admit. An able edi
torial in your own paper, not long
since, put the pertinent and grave
question, “Whither we are drifting ?”
To this question I take the occasion
for one to give you a direct and posi
tive answer. We are drifting to con
solidation and empire, and will land
there at no distant period as certainly
as the sun will set this day, unless the
people of the several States awake to a
proper appreciation of the danger, and
save themselves from the impending
catastrophe by arresting the present
tendency of public affairs. This they
can properly do only at the ballot-box.
All friends of constitutional liberty, in
every section of the State, must unite
in this grand effort. They must seri
ously consider, and even reconsider
many questions to which they have
given but slight attention heretofore.
They must acquaint themselves with
the principle of their government, and
provide security for the future by stu
dying and correcting the errors of the
past.
“This is the only hope, as I have
stated, for the continuance ctf even our
present nominal form of government.
Depend upon it, there is no difference
between consolidation and empire!—
No difference between centralism and
imperialism i The cud of either, as
well as all of these, is the overthrow
of liberty and the establishment of
despotism. I give you the words of
truth iu great earnestness words
which, however received or heeded
now, will be rendered eternally true by
the developments of the future.”
“Yours, most respectfully,
Alexander H. Stephens.”
A Free Thinker—Blast from Beech
er.—We cull the following theological
curiositcs from a serin on on “The Beau
ties of Moral Qualities” preached by
Mr. Beacher on Sunday, May 16,1869,
aud published in the last number of
the Plymouth Pulpit:
I have no overweening attachment
to the Church as a pysical organization.
I am rather under than over the liue
on that subject. I believe that the
Church is useful; but Ido not believe
that any particular Church on the face
of the earth is ordained of God. Ido
not believe one Church is any better
than another so far as ordinance is
concerned. Ido not believe there is
any pattern whatsoever laid down iu
the New Testament according to which
Churches should be organized. I be
lieve that, Churches stand on the same
ground that common schools and lit
erary institutions do. They are found
to be useful, and to promote man’s
growth, and so they are right.
I believe that ordinances, external
forms, are matters of utter indifference.
Baptism is baptism, whether it be effu
sion, or sprinkling, or immersion. The
Lord’s Supper, if it be administered by
a Pope, is good enough; if it be ad
ministered by a cardinal, it is good en
ough; if it be administered by a priest
or a minister, it is good enough; if it
be administered by the father in the
family, it is good enough; and if there
is no one else to administer it, and you
administer it to yourself, it is just as
good. The Lord’s Supper belongs to
every man that belongs to the Lord
Jesus Christ; and he ha; just as much
right to administer it to himself as to
have it administered to him by a priest.
In regard to Churches, ordinances,
and governments, I take the broadest
ground, and say that they are useful,
but that there is not one of them that
is obligatory, as having warrant in
Scripture; and no man can come to
us saying, “Thus saith the Lord,” in
respect to them.
Do you suppose that is the wedding,
when the young man and his blushing
bride stand up and exchange vows?—
The wedding took place when their
two hearts rushed together as one, and
when they clasped each other, ’ and
said, “Thine for life; mine for life.”
A Shower of Snakes.
Serpents by the million—The, Prairie in
(he neighborhood of Taybrmlle, 111.,
Itte rally alive with Reptiles — The great
est snake story on Record.
[From the Illinois Register, June 1.
The great storm of last Friday night
will be long remembered in this State.
In addition to the details heretofore
given, we have information from a re
liable citizen of great damage at Tay
lorville. The storm burst in its full
fury at that place about dark, and the
rain fell in torrents. The electric
storm presented the same general fea
tures as here. The wind, however,
was much more violent, and with in- ■
termissions blew in great strength
from every direction. Several build
ings were damaged, and young hicko
ry trees actually twisted off by the
wind, and beaten into the ground by
the rain and hail. But the most sin
gular phenomenon, and one which was
not vouchsafed to any other commu
nity, was a shower of snakes. We
have heretofore read of showers of
sand, of fish, and sometimes of flesh,
but never before of snakes; and yet
we are well assured that the phenom
enon which occurred on last Friday
night can be described in no more fit
ting terms.
On Saturday and Sunday last evory
ditch, brook and pool on the Prairie
north of Taylorville was alive with
creatures, which have been described
to us as being from one and a half to
two feet long, and of three fourths of
an inch to an ih in diameter. This
diameter is very slightly lessened at
the head and tail. The tail is flat,
like that of an eel, but has no caudal
fin; indeed there is no fin at all. The
head is, in shape, that of an eel, but
the mouth is that of a sucker. The
eyes are small, and the ears are simply
orifices. Immediately behind the head
on each side, is a flipper, like that of a
turtle, say three fourths of an inch to
an inch in length, including the limb,
which has a perfectly developed joint.
In color these snakes, or whatever they
are, are a dark hue.
The number of these creatures is be
yond all estimate. They swin in eve
ry branch and puddle of water. Their
mode of progression, in addition to the
uudulatory motion of a snake in the
water, is by the use of the flipper de
scribed above, and they swim entirely
under the water or with the head and
a few inches of the body above the
surface, thus indicating that the flip
pers are not absolutely essential to
motion. They are perfectly harmless.
Boys and men take them from the
pools by hundred and they are brought
to town for inspection.
We are willing to admit that our
knowledge of ichthyology is not suffi
cient to determine what they are. —
Eels have teeth, are carnivorous, and
some species are very voracious and
belligerent. These creatures are of
the genus cyelopterus, or suckers,
having no teeth, and are evidently un
prepared for attack, and except by
flight are defenceless. Fxxrthermore
they have no fins, and their flippers
are only adjuncts, and not their prin
cipal means of progression. They are
not serpents, as they want fangs, ei
ther* hooded or naked, which invaria
bly distinguish the order of ophidians.
We will not worry our readers with
any speculation on a subject confessed
ly beyond our knowledge. We are
promised some specimens, which will
be submitted to naturalists of ac
kno pledged ability, whose opinions
we shall lay before the public.
It is the universal testimony of all
people of the country that no creature
anything like these was ever before
seen by them. The size renders it cer
tain that they have not been develop
ed there, as it is practically impossible
that they could have grown to that
size without having been seen. It is
quite certain that they were never
there before the storm, and it is al
most equally certain the storm brought
them there. The storm which passed
over so large an extent of counti*y,
and was so violent, undoubtedly gath
ered, as most of such storms, in the
vast plains of the Northwest. It was
a tornado, and, in passing through the
country, disturbed the usual atmos
pheric and electrical conditions, so as
to produce, in addition to the central
tornado, a high wind, heavy rain, and
an electric storm. The more plausi
ble theory which occurs to us as ac
counting for the presence of these
fishes, is that the tornado passing over
some lake or river in the immense un
known region of the northeast, drew
up water, and with it these animals,
which are evidently amphibious. The
tornado then on its mission of destruc
tion, passing, perhaps, miles above the
earth, and occasionally, as at Shipman,
striking the earth. Near Taylorville
the central body of the storm was dis
sipated, as it is shown by the fact that
the wind blew in gusts, from all di
rections, and these creatures fell to
the earth to astonish the people and
perplex the scientific.
