M7NDAY MOBSISB, JUNE 20.
The Legislature.— Gov. Bullock
will, we learn, says the Atlanta Consti
tution, of the 19th, call t>he Legislature
together on the 7th of July. By that
time the impeachers will be ready to
prefer charges against him.
On Dit.—The Atlanta Constitution
says that Gov. Bullock is sending pri
vate notices, by mail and messenger to
tiie “elect,” to assemble here on the
Fourth of July nest. At that meeting
he tv ill endeavor to induce the body to
reject the negro and the 15th amend
ment, so as to make a case for Congress.
Fink lloo.—The Opelika Locomotive
gays : We saw a fine sow, of the White
Chester breed, shipped to W. P. Akens,
Esq , from LaGrauge, Ga., which was
12 months old and weighed 450 pounds.
Dr. MeElhaney will have to “push”his

Nominee in the Tiiikd District
A telegram in auother Coluuiu, brings
us the result of the deliberations of the
Democratic Congressional Nominating
Convension in the Third District of
Alabama, which convened at Dadeville,
on the 17th instant. J. C. Parkinson,
E>q , th- uuiuee of the Convention,
is from Zanesville, Ohio, who emigra
ted to and settled in Alabama, three
years ago, as an agriculturist. He is a
gentleman of education and integrity,
and is a Democrat ot the Pendleton
style.
Impeachment Stock. —Impeachment
stock, says the Atlanta Constitution, is
rapidly increasing in value. Owing to
advices received in Wall street of the
movement in Georgia, the credit of the
State is looking up As the abdication of
Urowulow in Tennessee, had the effect
to produce quiet in that State, so the im
peachment of Bullock will stop the tin
lawful expenditure of the public funds,
and the never ending lies of the slander
mill. Impeachment and Peace is the
watchword.
Wheat Grown on Town Lots—
The “wheat patches” in this city, say:- i
the Newnau Herald, have been cut and
thrashed, and the yield has been good
Capt. Sargent produced on 1} acres 52.1
bushels; Mrs. Dent on J of an acre 31 j
bushels; Col. J. M. Ilill on between j
and J of an acre 24$ bushels. Many
others were almost as successful. The
variety grown is the Tappalianuotk, in

Point Clear —This favorite watering
place across the bay from Mobile fa
now open for the season. It is one of
the most delightful places on the South
ern coast and presents facilities for sea
bathing, fishing, sailing and all health
ful recreations that are not surpassed
anywhere. The Hotel is under charge
of that Prince of Landlords and good
fellows, Captain Godfrey of the Battle
House, in Mobile, who will make all
who go to see him as happy and com
fortable as possible. There is always a
large and refined company of guests
from Mobile, New Orleans and the sur
rounding country, at Point Clear, and
all who go there once are so charmed
ami delighted that they invariably re
turn. Our people should patronize
their own watering places which are
superior in all respects to those of the
North.
Unfortunate Occurrence. The
Newuan Herald says: On Sunday two
lads, cousins, one Shack Simms, son of
Capt. J. D. Simms, the other Brittain
Orr, son of the late Capt. Kit Orr, were
playing with old army guns, supposed
to be empty. They began snapping at
each other, when the gun in tho hands
of Master Shack Simms fired and
wounded the other lad in the right
shoulder, besides burning his face with
powder. The wound it is thought will
not prove fatal or finally serious.
An investigation brought to light thaJ.
fact that the gun had been loaded morcr'
than four years, and that there had not
been a cap on it during that time.

Gone. —The Montgomery Mail says:
Thu man Rhodes, whom we mentioned
a day or two since as being held by
Marshal Scott under the belief that he
was a fugitive from justice from Geor
gia, was carried off on the four o’clock
train yesterday, under a requisition
from Gov. Bullock. lie was fully iden
tilled, we believe, by the officer who
came for him.
li seems that Rhodes seduced the
daughter of a respectable old man, in
I'm rokee county, Georgia. The father
-■arted out to hunt the villain, and
meeting him on the highway, was shot
down by him.
We hope the double criminal may
meet his reward.
The Misdembanoh of Hiring La
borers Under Contract.— ln a late
case before the Justice of the Peace
for this district, a remark of much force
was made by the counsel for the prose
cution, in relation to the hiring laborers
under contract to others, and the no
cessity of a rigid enforcement of the late
statute, making this a misdemeanor.
May be, it is not generally known
that the penalty for this act i9 the same
as that for a larceny, but so it is, and
very justly and very prudently we
think. There is nothing so important
as the binding force of our contracts
with our laborers, because that is the
only cure for the radical disorganiza
tion into which our labor system has
been thrown. And nothing was more
injurious, at the beginning of our new
system, than the ignorant idea of the
freed men, that, to show their freedom,
they must flit from employer to employ
er. To correct this tendency a law was
necessary, and this law we believe to
answer the end. It guarantees the far
mer that the hands with which ho sows
will not be inveigled away before he
reaps. It establishes the relations be
tween employer and employee, and pro
tects the negro from the effects of his
credulity, and the impositions of, a
least, disreputablo men. It is a law
which should be generally known and
universally enforced by the prosecution
of every offence of the kind, and by the
whole moral force of the people, all of
whom are immediately or mediately in
terested.— La Orange Reporter.
A Bio Wheat Yield. —Capt. H. J.
Sargent ha 9 gathered fifty two and a
half bushels of wheat from one and a
fourth acres of ground within the*cor
porate limits of Newnan. This is only
an evidence of what may bo done by
cultivating small tracts of rich land, in
preference to large poor tracts.
Estimate of the Coming Crop.—
Northern journals are now estimating
the crop to be received at the United
States ports for 1869-70. They supposed
the receipts of 1868-9 at 2,500,000 bales.
This is by no means certain- One esti
mate is as follows, which we simply con
; dense without comment: The average
1 increase of land planted in cotton over
I last year is estimated at nine per cent, for
j the entire South. The Bureau of Agri
i culture estimated 6,000,000 acres were
planted in 1868. An increase of nine
per cent, gives 6,540,000 acres as the
extent planted. Tho same Bureau re
, ports that in 1867 the average produc
tion of the entire South was 190 pounds
to the acre. Assume 180 pounds.
Fertilizers have been used more in
1869 than ever before (17,000 tons hav
ing been taken by Georgia alone), and
j they increase the productive yield “on
a safe estimate” 17 per cent. This add
i ed to 180 pounds will make the average
yield 210 pounds per acre. Grounds
have been more thoroughly cultivated
and freedmen arc working steadily.
1 he injury to the entire crop thus far
is estimated at 10 per cent.
Under the foregoing considerations
| the crop of this year may he estimated
as follows: Number of acres under cot
ton, 6,540,000; at 210 pounds per acre
420 pounds per bale, 3,270,000 bales;
less injury to crop from cold, at 10 per
cent., 327,00 Q bales; probable crop of
1909, 2,943,000 bales, provided no other
casualties occur to further reduce the
crop.
Consumption is so often the result
of protracted liver affection, that liver
disease may bo almost termed the tropi
cal consumption. The one should be
guarded against just as much as the
other. And no remedy yet discovered
so effectually prevents consumption and
cures liver disease as Simmons’ llegu
lator. Thousands attest its virtues.

Married Sixty Six Years. —We
were informed yesterday of the death of
Mrs. Nancy Stroud, of Lee county,
Ala., who was born Feb. 10,1785. She
di«'d on May 13th, 1869, aged eighty
hmr years, two months and three days.
She was married sixty-six years ago, in
her eighteenth husband who
survives her. What a story such a life
could tell, of joys and sorrows, of strug
gle and prosperity, and the advances in
science and art and wealth in the coun
try. When they were united in mar
riage the Indians roamed by thousands
through this section, the city of Colum
bus was uuthought of, railroads and
telegraphs, if dreamed of, merely the
chimeras of what were deemed vision
aries. Time now-a-days is counted by
heart throbs then by the slow motions
of the dial.
Her husband, James Stroud, was
born May 18th, 1779. Ho is now in his
ninetieth year, lives in Lee county, and
evinces more life and energy than some
men at forty. His hearing and eyesight
remain good, and often he “drives the
plow afield,” and daily performs his
portion of farm work. The pair have
raised a large family that now count
three or four generations. If the old
gentleman be a philosopher, these chil
dren are the links which hold past
years together. How many of this
earth can say, “I have been married
sixty-six years.” Both husband and
wife are of the Primitive Baptist (vul
garly known as Hard-shell) persuasion.
Age is a matter of small consequence
in these fast days when life is consumed
so rapidly. We think it is Dr. Tyng,
of New Y r ork, who said the man who
lives thirty years in this century is a
“condensed Methusaleh.”

The First Cotton Bloom— We saw
at the Foutaine Warehouse yesterday, a
stalk of cottou about three foet high,
branches long and luxurious, with one
bloom and fifty-six squares. It was of
the Dickson variety, and planted on
land (must have been rich), without
fertilizers, ou the 25th of April. It is
claimed that this cottou is an early va
riety, and was sent up to show its su
periority over the common kinds. The
plaut was pulled on the plantation of
Y. H. Gresham, located near Florence,
Stewart county, Ga., June 18th. It is
without doubt the best cotton stalk on
the farm. Not one cottou stalk in one
thousand is thinking of blooming. The
first bloom last season, in this section
was on June 4th.
We think farmers injure themselves,
if they desire (what is true) to have
the crop regarded as backward, to hunt
over their fields and pick out the best
stalk in order to exhibit it to the coun
try as a representative of the general
growing crop. '

i Newburgh, N. Y.
Report of tbe Committee or tlie East
Alabama Agricultural Society on
tbe Cotton Lease.
The Committee to whom was referred
the address of the President on the
aphis, or cotton louse, beg to report:
That after examining specimens of
the insect taken from the cotton plant
through a magnifying glass, we believe
his theory in regard to the louse to be
well sustained,'and would recommend
the publication of his address. We
would further recommend planters to
institute investigations in regard to
these insects, and any others that may
prove detrimental to their crops,
M. Woodruff.
G. P. Har iison,
W. C. Ge.
TbeAphla or Plant Lonse.
This, most numerous of all the insect
tribes, and next to the caterpillar the
most destructive to the cotton plant, is
less understood, less known of its
origin, habits, and period of life, than
any other scourge of the farmer. We
all know that there are seasons, when
the Aphis makes its appearance in such
immense numbers, as to threaten the
entire destruction of the crop, and al
ways to the detriment and injury of the
plant; but whence it comes, or whither
it goeth, few’, or none cau tell. For
many years past, I have made this in
sect my special study; have read the
works ol all the most learned entomolo
gists, both of Europe and America ;
have experimented with magnifying
glasses from their first appearance to
their sudden disappearance, and find
that I am fully sustained by those emi
nent naturalists, Reaumar, Marsham,
Kirby, Harris and Fitch, in the follow
ing conclusions : That every plant has
its Aphis, or exhauster, (as this insect
takes its name from the Greek w’ord,
to exhaust,) and that there is some inert
principle in the plant, when encouraged
by bad weather, uncongenial soil, and
other unfavorable conditions to the per
fection of the plant, to produce an ani
mal life, which shall prey upon itself, as
animals when sickly or herding together
in great filth involuntarily produce lice.
This Aphis, or Plant Louse, is entirely
unlike any other insect described by
entomologists, or that has come under
my observation. Whenouceproduced,
from whatever causes we cannot ex
actly tell, the male will impregnate the
female for five generations, anti lieau
mar has calculated that oue female will
produce in five generations -six thou
sand millions of the Aphis, and that
they go through twenty generations in
a season. Now if there were nothing
but climate changes to destroy aud
sweep away this pest ot our cotton
fields, the plants would be entirely de
nuded of foliage long before a bloom
made its appearance. But in the wise
provisions of Providence, there is no
scourge that has not some natural check.
And man lias been endowed with rea
son above the brute, that he might
study to encourage those checks. The
greatest enemy that the myriads of
Aphis has to contend with, is the Ich
neumon Fly, an insect so very minute
that its scarcely perceptible to the naked
eye. This fly punctures the back of the
Aphis, in which it deposits an egg, this
egg hatches out a magget, feeding upon
the living Aphis until death ensues,
when the magget bursts forth from his
bondage, the Ichneumon, again, ready
for another Aphis. Millions of the
empty shells of the Aphis may be found
ou the underside of the leaf, among
the living Aphis, which embrace all
ages and sizes of the family, from the
minute insect, just brought forth to the
full grown Apterous, and the winged
state. A small portion of the family
will always be found with wings, but
at what period of their lives the wings
put forth has not yet been determined,
nor have they ever been known to fly.
The next great enemy teethe Aphis is
a yellow spotted bug, commonly called
Lady Bug, by some Lady Cow.
Wherever tho Aphis abound, the
Lady Bug deposits its eggs, which soon
hatch, and the young bug in its larva
state, feeds entirely on the Aphis. I
have heard intelligent farmers say that
the Lady Bugs were eating up their
cotton plants, when, had they made a
careful examination, they would have
found the Aphis sucking the life juices of
the plant, and the the Lady Bug eating
the Aphis. Tho Lady Bug is therefore
the best friend the farmer has, and
should be protected as an assistant in
cotton culture. It is also said by natu
ralists there are several bee like flies,
called syrphus , which iu their larva
state feed on the Aphis. Os these I
know nothing experimentally—never
having seen them. But the terrible
havoc made among the Aphis by the
Ichneumon and Lady Bug is so easily
demonstrated by a magnifying glass,
that the farmer must be dull indeed
who will longer doubt.
Again, I have heard farmers say that
the ants were destroying their cotton.
Delusion again. Neither ants or lady
bugs ever eat a cotton leaf, bloom or
boll. The Aphis is a curiously construc
ted little animal, it has two tubes pro
jecting from the back near the extremi
ties, through which it is constantly
ejecting a sweetish fluid it has sucked
from the cotton leaf. This fluid attracts
the ants, and they are so fond of it that
they prefer it to anything else, and
spend more of their time watching and
waiting for the ejection. The Aphis
and the ant livo on the best of terms.
The ant, jealous of his boarding house,
fights and endeavors to keep away the
ichneumon, and the Aphis rewards him
with honey dew. It is often the case
that when there are more ants than
honey dew, the ant will tickle the aphis
with his antennee until he make anoth
er discharge. This discharge when not
eaten by ants, settles on the upper side
of the leaf below, forming what is com
monly called honey dew. This honey
dew, hardening in the sun, makes what
»is called the black blight, which is as
prejudicial to the plant as the sucking
of the aphis, so that the ant in feeding
itself, prevents in a great measure the
black blight; therefore we may class
the ant with the ichneumon and lady
bug as our best friends. The fecundity
of the aphis is without a parallel in the
history of insect or animal life. They
are viviparous and propagate iu two
hours after birth, and one female pro
ducing six thousand millions in five
generations, and going through twen
ty generations in a season would make
thirty thousand millions from a single
female. And were they not tho most
evanescent of all animal life, notwith
standing the ravages made among
them by the ichneumon and lady bug,
would soon, probably in. twenty-four
hours, destroy the whole cotton crop.
But they are so sensatiye to climatic
changes that oue thunder shower, after
a dry spell, will destroy millions, and a
dry season succeeding a wet one sweeps
away myriads. Thus they often disap
pear without our knowing what has
become of them. I have tried a great
many remedies and preventives, on a
small scale, in the garden. Soapsuds,
salt-water and tobacco smoke, I find
valuable to drive them off from cab
bages, grapevine, and many kinds of
floVers, but as neither of these reme
dies would be profitable on a large scale
in cotton culture, I was induced to try
gypsum or sulphate of lime on my cot
ton when infested with the aphis, and
it has proved a perfect success. When
the plant shows the first symptoms of
the insect, by the curl of the leaf, dust
gypsum all through the plant when the
dew is on in the morning. It acts as a
fertiliz r independent of its benefit in
driving off the Aphis. It is especially
beneficial when guano lias been used,
imbibing and holding the escaping am
monia, and retaining moisture. It does
not immediately kill the aphis, but the
slight trace of sulphur which the gyp
sum contains is offensive to the aphis,
and they will soon disappear.—
From experiments that I have made, I
find that one barrel will dirt over from
six to eight acres. It can bo laid down
in the Columbus market for about two
dollars and twenty-five cents per barrel.
I would, therefore, brother Farmers, re
commend you to protect the Lady Bugs,
encourage the Ants, and sow gypsunr
broadcast over your cotton plants when
the Aphis makes its appearance.

Last week we visited the farm of our
enterprising friend, Dr. Thomas P.
Janes, which lies on Fishing Creek,
some seven or eight miles north ot
Greencsboro’, to see, for ourself, what
can be done by trying, on our old lands
in Middle Georgia. \Ve had previously
heard much said of Dr. Janes’ success
in growing the different kinds ot grass,
and expected to find something more
than is usual in our country, but was
totally unprepared to see Red Clover,
Herd’s grass, Blue grass and Timothy
grown to such perfection in Greene
country, as not to be surpassed by the
best farms in Virginia, Maryland, or
Pennsylvania. This statement may be
doubted by some of our farmers in Mid
dle Georgia, who have not developed the
real worth of their lands, nevertheless it
is true. Our grst visit was to a field of
Red Clover, five acres iu extent, about
halt of which has been cut. The average
height of that standing was from four
feet to four feet five inches. This field
has been under cultivation for the last
thirty years or more, and the crop which
was planted without manure of any
kind, has yielded an average ot two aud
a half tons to the acre. Mr. Benj. E.
_ Spencer, who was raised on a tarm in
Connecticut, on visiting thisclover field,
and the other grass fields of Dr. Janes’
farm, states that they are not to be sur
passed by the best grass crops that grow
in the Northern States. We next visit
ed a field of twelve or fifteen acres of the
same crop on which the Doctor had
turned his stock every night during the
season, thereby saving two-thirds feed
of corn and fodder. We visited other
fields of Timothy, Herd’s grass aud
Blue grass, and found all growing to as
great perfection as can be found in any
part of the North or West. The Rev.
Dr. Tucker, President of Mercer Uni
versity, at Pentield, as well as Profs.
Sanford and Woodfin, who also visited
this farm, agreed with us in opinion.—
We had not the pleasure of meeting with
these gentlemen, but have seen letters
written by them, in which they speak
of Dr. Janes’ success iu growing clover
and garss. Prof. Woodliu, ll we mis
take not, is a Northern man, Dr. fuck
er has traveled over both sections of the
country, North and South, and is a man
whose good judgment cau be relied up
on, ami whose integrity is indisputable.
We next visited his wheat oi which
he has planted largely, and like all the
wheat in this country, we found it good.
The Doctor has provided himself with
a Reaper of the most approved patent,
and is well fixed for saving his wheat,
oats, clover &c. His corn and cotton
both look well, and though backward is
yet much improved by tlie recent warm
weather.
Many persons will no doubt be sur
prised to hear that these crops have been
produced on old land, without one
pound of Guano or fertilizers of any
kind. Other parties have used fertilizers
freely, while Dr. Janes wished first to
test the capacity of his land without
them, and then compare his crops with
those of his neighbors. He says in order
to develop our lands aud to realize then
real worth, our farmers must change
their system of culture, plaut a smaller
area of land and cultivate it more thor
oughly. With the present system of
labor, he says, the Southern planter will
be compelled to abandon their mode of
culture, aud adopt that of the Northern
States—enriching with clover and deep
plowing. He showed us the receipts
of his overseers for successive years be
fore the the war, and his average cotton
crop to the hand was from eight to ten
bales, aud since the war be has realized
not more ihau half as much, this is an"
evidence of the imperfection of our pre
sent system of labor. The Doctor owns
we think, near five thousand acres of
land lying ou both aider of Fishing
Creek, for a distsecc of five miles. His
residence, which is beautifully situated
on the West side of the Creek, is within
three miles of Mercer University, and
about four miles to the nearest, point on
the Railroad. About oue third of this
land is heavily wooded with oak, pop
lar and hickory, which itself might be
a source of immense wealth. So crazy
were our people in ante helium days
about cotton, that a man who would
have proposed to them to grow clover
and other grasses as a- profitable busi
ness in this part of Georgia, would have
been denounced as a fit subject for the
Lunatic Asylum. The truth is now
just begining to appear, that aside from
cotton, the counties in Middle Georgia
only need their producing capacity to
be properly tested, to show their super
iority over the lands of the West, or
those further South. With such a soil,
a pure and salubrious atmosphere, pure
cold freestone water, cheap lands in
connection with our facilities for trans
portation to market, our State must
soon become densely populated with
emigrants from abroad.
Bustked’s Decision. —ln the U. S.
District Court, yesterday, Busteed de
livered an opinion in the case of John
Thorn, administrator of Robert Blair,
against Thomas Ramsey, on a promis
sory note given for slaves in 1862. De
fendant’s counsel (Goldthwaite, Rice
and Semple,) filed a demurrer to the
complaint, on the ground that the mo
ney could not bo recovered because
slavery had been established. The Judge
overruled the demurrer with leave to
the defendant to answer over. John A.
Elmore and James Q. Smith counsel
for plaintiff.
Oue of the grounds for the decision
was, that the negroes were at the time
of the purchase and sale regarded as
property by the law of the land, and
that the maker of the note entered into
tho obligation with a full knowledge of
the risks and all the circumstances sur
rounding negro property.
That is the substance of it, divested
of legal verbiage.
The note was given for $3,000.

We clip the following crop items from
the Macon Telegraph of the 18th :
FROM LEE, WORTH AND DOOLY.
Smithvillk, Lee Cos., June 14, 1868.
Editors Telegraph: I have seen crops
in the counties of Lee, Worth and
Dooly. They are as good as they ever
were at this season of the year. Some
have not suffered at all for rain. It has
been raining all the day. Crops are
very clean. Corn and cotton are both
small, but have a good appearance. I
find some blooms on my cotton—fuller
of forms I never, saw it. I have 600
acres in cotton. Before the war it
would have made 300 bales—2oo bales
will now satisfy me. Laborers are do
ing as well or better than last year.—
The rain that has just fallen was one of
the best I ever saw, not too hard, but
raining a long time and a great deal of
it. Every thing now looks tresh and
promising and the hearts of the planters
have been made glad. T. M. C.
FROM CRAWFORD COUNTY.
Knoxville, Ga. , June 15, 1869.
Editors Telegraph : This vicinity was
visited yesterday by a refreshing rain,
commencing about 11 o’clock, and fall
ring slowly and beautifully until 9
o’clock last night. Our crops were
never in better condition, and every
thing bids fair at present for a bounte
ous yield. Most of the farmers are
through harvesting, and the yield is
flattering indeed. Crawford.
Will Manures Pay? A well
known citizen ol lhis place lias shown
us two stalks ot cotton taken from his
field on the edge of the city—one from
a rowjnot manured, and the other from
a row manured with about three hun
dred (300) pounds of Schley’s Georgia
Fertilizer per acre. He assures us that
they are about the average of tbe field,
one of the manured, and the other of the
unmanured portion.
The specimens are of interest mainly
iu showing the difference between cot
ton on the unassisted land, and that
properly fertilized.
The manured cotton is a very fair
specimen—considering that it is the
average of the field—being about ten
inches high above the ground, and
having seven well developed forms on
it. The unmanured stalk is not quite
half as high and has but one form. Be
ing weighed carefully, the manured
, stalk is found to weigh just four and a
halftimes as much as the unmanured—
the one weighing nine-sixteenths of an
ounce and the other two sixteenths. —
Should the same difference obtain in the
: weight of lint, it is easy to see whether
| fertilizers will pay or not. —Americas
I Courier.
THE U. A. R.
Creely Denounces it.
In a reiterating article not long ago,
condemnatory of the Grand Army of
the Republic, brought out by a letter
from Mr. Henry W. Bennet, of Daven
port, lowa, calling the New York Trib
une to account for denouncing that or
ganization, the Tribune, speaking ofthe
Grand Army of tbe Republic, took oc
casion to express itself with deliberation
as follows:
“These men combine for political
purposes. They propose to keep alive
the wrath and bitterness of that dread
ful time. They mean to control con
ventions and nominate men to office—
to perpetuate in our civil system the
bitterness of war. We believe the sol
dier should receive abundant reward.—
When a soldier and a civilian apply for
office, all things else being equal, we
should prefer the soldier. But we dis
like this making a privileged class, and
especially we dislike this getting into a
corner and having pass words anil grips,
aud making an exclusive class.
“Washington foresaw this when he
opposed the Society of the Cincinnati.
He saw in the association the first step
toward an aristocracy, and he declined
to ally himself with it. What Wash
ington said should be remembered now.
Here is an association more numerous
and more powerful than the Cincinnati,
which purposes to keeep alive a war
with brothers and fellow-countrymen,
to exult in victories over Americans, to
rejoice over the destruction of men in
whose blue veins runs the blood which
courses in our own, and who, whatever
their crimes or errors, are of our own
country. We say let all the memories
of the past sink into the hell to which
they belong; let us think only of the
wounds to be healed, of harvests to
grow again, of seas once more covered
with our commerce, education for the
ignorant, protection to the oppressed,
justice to all.
“We say this, and sacrifice none of
the principles defended by Mr. Bennett.
Ho is, no doubt, earnest in his belief
that his work is worthy. But there are
crafty, bold, bad men, who look upon
these societies as so many instruments
for their own advancement. They pro
pose to ally themselves with this mili
tary government, with no more claim
upon it than Thenardier, in Hugo’s
novel, had to be called the Sergeant of
Waterloo. He followed the army and
robbed the bodies of the slain. The
true soldier sheaths his sword and buries
it iu his closet, and it remains an heir
loom. He becomes a citizen, and makes
no claim for political honor but that ol
citizenship. Above all things he does
not carry his epaulets and ribbons, his
wounds and bruises, to a political con
vention, to be knocked down to the
highest bidder. There may be many of
these men unwittingly in tho Army of
the Republic, who probably entered
with the views of Mr. Bennett. They
will soon see how they may better oc
cupy their time.
“Especially do we entertain these
views when we find in the declarations
of these secret soldier associations so
many expressions of madness. The
true soldier is the most generous of foe
men. Take the great captains who
commanded tie contending hosts. Do
we find Grant, or Sherman, or Sheri
dan, or Thomas, or Meade, assembling
together howling lor more blood, more
strife, more bitterness ? Do we find
Lee, or Longstruet, or Johnston, or
Beauregard insisting that the hates of
secession shall be prolonged? These
men fought their fight and ended. Their
anger ceased with the echo of the last
guns fired in anger. From this Grand
Army of the Republic now parading
through political conventions in the
West, commanded by the captains of
the caucus, the lobby, and the bar room,
we appeal to the Grand Army of the
Republic which carried our banners
over a hundred fields under the eye of
Grant, Sherman, and Sheridan. We
denounce this new secret association as
out of sympathy with the true Republi
can party and as inimical to the Con
stitution and tho Union. It will be a
sad day for our party when soldiers find
no better work than to prowl over the
battle fields of tbe past and dig up the
bodies of the slain. The country wants
peace, and rest, and harmony, and jus
tice. These men want a distracted
country that offices may be gained.—
They would make America a Mexico ;
peace would be sent to sleep with Turks
and infidels, and, instead of Union, they
would ‘the wofulest division make that
ever fell upon this cursed earth.’ ”
ffISUK.Et: COUNTY GRAND
JURY PRESENTMENTS.
rpHE Grand Jury of tho present term oi tho
I Court having discharged the duties as
signed them, respectfully submit tlie lollowing
General Presentments:
We have, by committee, examined the
hooks, papers, vouchers, Ac., of tho Clerk of i
the Superior Court, the Ordinary, tho Treasu
rer, and various Justices of the Peace.
We find the books and papers of the Clerk oi
the Superior Court kept with neatness and
system and do credit to Mr. W. S. Lloyd and
his gentlemanly assistant, Mr. Geo. Y. Pomt.
The books and vouchers of the Treasurer
have been thoroughly examined and found to
he correct and sasisfactory.
Wo find the county, although a very onorous
tax has just been collected and expended, has
still existing a floating debt of $20,000, and we
would recommend that the Ordinary issuo
Bonds payable in ten years, hearing 7 per ct.
interest, anil fund said floating debt. Tho
Bonds to he sold at not less than ninoty cents.
The books of the Ordinary wo find kept in a
very unsystematic manner. The vouchers for
which orders are given are not preserved with
care and the vouchers in many instances are
mere receipts, which we deem insuflicient, and
think that each voucher should bo an account
duly receipted when paid. Other than this
wo find the hooks, Ac., of the Ordinary to be
kept iu a systematic and correct manner. Wc
think the Ordinary too extravagant in his ex
penditures for county purposes. Whilowedo
not doubt the usefulness of his expenditure,
we think the financial condition of the county
demands a rigid economy and that all expen
ditures should be based upon tho actual necessi
ties oi the county.
We would recommend that the office oi the
County Physician ho abolished and that modi
cal attendance on Poor House and Jail be lot
out on contract.
The Dockots, Ac., of tho Justices of the Peace
wo find kept according to law. But iu several
instances persons who have been ordered fined
and sentenced on chain gang have been releas
ed by a Justice on paying part of the fine. This
practice we condemn. We would also call at
tention of the Justices of the Peace to the in
solvent cost reported by them and collected
from fines and forfeiture. In many cases the
parties aro fined and the fine collected, hut the
cost is uncollected, thus accruing unnecessa
ry expense to the county. The law or practice
is sucli that we do not think there is a check
upon any Receiving or Disbursing officer of
the county. Wo would therefore recommend
that the Uierk of the Superior Court furnish i
the Treasurer with a list and amount of all !
Jury Scrips ; also that tho Ordinary number
his vouchers and said number correspond with
the number of orders on the Treasurer. We
would further recommend that the Ordinary
keep various accounts such as Jail, Poor
House, Repairs, Bridges, Ac., and when he
issues orders to charge to such account, that
the tax payers may see the expenditures for
the various departments in the county.
We find the Jail in bad condition in eyery
particular. We also find that this matter has
been frequently brought to tho netico of the
proper authorities by previous Grand Juries,
and the evils complained of have not been
remedied.
The Bridges we find to he in excellent condi
tion. We would recommend the building oi a
bridge over Cox’s creek, near tho Cpatoie post
office. We would also recommend that the Or
dinary examine into the matter as to re-open
ing the Diamond Ford road, and if expedient
to re-open s aid road.
The quantity of mixed, false and water
packed cotton has increased within tho last
lew years, and especially during the past sea
son, to such an extent, that we feel it to be
our duty to take some steps to arrest this griev
ance. Buyers, Brokers and Factors are often
subjected unavoidably to great loss and incon
venience by these trauds, and we recommend
to the next Legislature to enact a law Impos
ing heavy penalties upon parties guilty of this
practice.
In conclusion of our duties, understanding
that His Honor Judge Worrili has been re
moved and that this will probably be our last
official communication with him, we desire to
express to him and to the country our appreci
ation of his services. His administration em
bracing a period of 15 years, has received tlie
approbation and confidence ol tlie country.
The dignity ol his deportment—the Impartial
ity ol his decisions—the good order aud deco
rum preserved in his Court, entitles him to the
highest commendation, and we herein express
our unfeigned.and poignant regret that the
Governor of our State has seen fit to deprive
us ol his invaluable Services. In vacating tho
position he basso long adorned he will carry
to his retirement the respect, confidence and
admiration of the good citizens of this entire
Circuit. If any action on our part could prove
ol any avail we would hereby s-lemnly protest
against his removal.
'To the Solicitor, Cary J. Thornton, Esq., we
return our acknowledgments for his courteous
deportment towards this body.
We hereby tender to the Hon. J. J, McKen
dree our hearty thanks tor the able and impar
tial manner in which he has discharged his
duties as foreman of this Grand J ury.
The city papers are requested to copy these
Presentments.

Cotton.—On. the week uplands iu Liverpool
have advancedmiddlings in N. York
3c. The deficiency in visible supply by this
ovening will amount to some 140,000 bales.
The receipts at the ports are now oii,oOO bales
less than last season. We see, as yet, no rea
son why the receipts of this year will oxceed
those of the last, 2,430,000. High prices is
bringing from the country what little cotton
has been left there, and the stock ol tho inte
rior towns, whence the vast majority ol the
receipts at the ports havo been drawn for some
time, is now less than that at the same time
last year. There will he hardly any stock to
carry over from September Ist. Speculations
in regard to the growing crop aro mere guesses.
We do not believe there is labor eu ugh in the
South to pick out 2,700,000 hales, it it is pro
duced. Cotton depends upon too many eon
tingencesfor anything like a reliable estimate.
It is true about ten to thirteen per cent more
land has been cultivated, hut the increase ol
white workmen will hardly counterbalance
the diminished number of negroes, or tho
considerable decrease of trained labor. More
cotton in good seasons is produced than can
be picked out. We have no cause, U all should
he favorable, to look for a cropoxceeding much
2,600,000. The season is backward, ami tlie
supply at the Northern mills is no« a serious
question. Cotton now belongs to not many
owners, and they will have a good price lor it.
The Bombay shipments to Great Britain and
Continent to'June Ist amount to 790, 15a bales

Rain has beeu falling in this soetion heavily
all but two days of the week with a. prospect
of| continuance. The effect has been greatly
to increase the growth of grass, and stop
labor. In many localities the cotton fields
were badly cleaned. This weather wilt make
them worse. The cotton plant is lull ol sap
and growing rapidly—hut as yet few squares
are forming. II a drought succeeds, or the
rains continue, the results will he disastrous to
tho crop. If all goes well the receipts at this
pointwill amount in 1869-70, to some 75,000 to
SO.OUO bales.
This season there is a prospect ol 250 to 300
halos more to arrive. To the receipts should
he added about 125 hales received al the tac
tories, which was not warehoused. This will
make tho receipts thus lar 48,072 hales. The

The Proprietor of this celebrated medicine
justly claims for it a superiority over all reme
dies ever offered to the public lor the *afe , cer
tain, speedy and permanent cure of Ague and
Fever, or l’hills aud Fever, whether of short or
loug standing. He refers to the entire Wes
tern and South-western eouutry to bear him
testimony to the truth of the assertion, that iu
no case whatever will it fail lo cure, It tlie di
rections are strictly lolluwed and carried out.
In a groat many cases a single dose has beeu
sufficient lor a cure, aud whole (amities have
been cured by a single bottle, with a ported
restoration of the general health. It Is, how
ever, prudent, and In every case more certain
to cure, if its use is continued in smaller doses
for a week or two after the disease has boon
checked, more especially in fifflcult aud long
standing cases. Usually, this medicine will
not require any aid to keep the bowels in good
order ; should the patient, however, require a
