If the people of Georgia, and every in-
llinct of justice and common decency,
i the 15th inst., the Legislature pro-
eedcd to elect no less than three sens
ors for the State of Georgia.
All good men must hang their heads
i'ith shame at the result, and indig-
ntly scout the action of a body, who
re in no sense the true representatives
' the people.
The dny will yet*come when Bullock,
Ind his miserable crowd, will call upon

1 them, from the wrath of an outraged
sople.

Albany & Bkcnswick Railroad.—
The -extension of litis thorough fare
Aeatward from Albany to the Chatla-
loocbee, is now under advisement, and
he particular route will soon be loca
ted.
Welearn our enterprising sister, Paw-
on, is bidding for the terminus, while
the people of Calhoun, and Blakely are
seeking to influence the direction of the
road through that section of conntry.
Cutlibe, t is situated v. ry nearly on
nn air line between Albany and Eufauia,
find as all Railroads are constructed
upon the principle of uniting the most
populous and important points, it would
appear the claims of our city should be
paramount to all others.
Still, we hear of r,o movement on
the part of onr citizens, looking to this
important connection, and ere we know
it, our more astute neighbors will bear
away the prize.
No time should be lost in the premis
es. Let our excellent Mayor cull a
town soecting to discuss the whole ques
tion, n»d open up a correspondence
with the President and directors of the
Brunswick & Albany Railroad.
Action should be taken also upon the
propriety of an immediate modification
and enlargement, of our act of incorpo
ration, so ns to enable the city to lake
stock iu this, and other enterprises of
acknowledged utility, after the question
has been submitted to a popular vote.
We hope soon to chronicle the cull
for such a meeting.
Since penning the foregoing, we learn
that at a meeting of the Town Council,
on motion, his Honor Mayor Clarke,
Col. A. Hood, and Thomas S. I otvell.
Esq., were appointed a delegation to
visit tiie authorities of the Albany and
Brunsw ick Railroad, and take such steps
es might be deemed advisable, to induce
them to carry their road through our
city to Eufuula.
The following gentlemen were also
appointed alternates of the delegates
shove named, to wit—VV. D. Kiddon,
Capt. B. J. Smith and H. II. Jones.
We shall await with much interest
and anxiety, tho report of this commis
sion, and trust our citizens will n..t be
slow to respond to every requirement
which may be necessary, to bring to
our doors thWrlniportaut highway of
commerce. More anon.
The subjoined announcement, ta
ken from the Atlanta Era, of the i3th,
will cause pain and regret to ail lovers
of Southern literature.
It is with regret that the Editor and
Publisher ot the “Cosmopolitan Month
ly’’ aunotinces that, owing to the heavy
pressure on the money market, and the
failure on the part of the Southern peo
ple to sustain the magazine, it becomes
necessary to suspend its publication for
the present. To the very few who
have generously aided ns in the effort
to establish a standard magazine in the
e return our heartfelt thanks,

Js. Those
ettle
Advice to Farmers-
The complaints of insufficient and un
reliable field labor, which come up from
every qftarter-of our Mate, are far .from
being exaggerated.
Indeed fire half has not been told.—
Large plantations on Spring creek, and
in portions of Calhoun, Early and Ba.
feer counties are without a solitary freed-
man. A gentleman just from Miller,
also states that very many farmers
whose plantations are amply stocked in
every respect, are feeding their mules
in idleness, while the plowing season is
rapidly passing away. In this county
too, it is difficult to-find any one who
has his full complement of hands, and we
could enumerate instances among our
vcjy best planters, of individuals whose
farms are a solitude, while others have
but one or two laborers, where a dozen
or more are required.
This condition of affairs has cast a
gloom over the community, and serious
ly affects every branch ot business.—
Nor is there the slightest hope that
time will abate the evil. On the con
trary, every subsequent year will show a
steady and perceptible decrease in the
supply of African labor.
Just in the proportion that the freed-
meu are prosperous, will be the Tatio -of
this diminution.
TJie cases are exceptional only, where
eey negro wilh ZiT ' bushel* of -corn on
hand, trad 50 dollars in his pocket, can
bo induced to continue to act as a com
mon laborer in the farm. He muet for
sooth, now play the part of land holder
and proprietor himself. Henoe, equipp
ed with oue broken-down mule, or ox
of all work, and a lew acres of old field,
either rented or •purchased, he launches
oilt, and from being a thriving, industri
ous producer, degenerates into a shift
less, lazy, and too often thievish -consum
er.
Thus every yeaT adds to the number
of those who set up for themselves,
while the Iiigh wages of Railroad eon-
tractors, and the love of town life, com-
bine to exhaust the supply still farther.
Determined it would seem to com
plete our ruin, the U. 6. Government
inteferes to prevent the introduction of
Asiatic labor.
What then should be the rcourse of
the Georgia planter? We answer brief-
'y-
1st. Let him redace the acreage un
der cultivation one half.
2d. Purchase, if necessary on time,
at least BOO pounds of somo standard
fertilizer for each acre in cotton, sud ap
ply, after deep and thorough prepara
tion.
3d. Sow down in the fall and spring,
iu wheat, rye and oats, evety spare foot
of ground on the plantation.
4th. Employ as few hands ns possi
ble, but run a strong team of mules.
5th. Under no circumstances what
ever, consent to employ any laborer who
if contracting for a share of the crop, is
unwilling to use commercial manures,
and bear his full proportion ol their cost.
To do otherwise is to permit careless
outsiders to abuse aird wear out the on
ly heritage left for your children, who
will (hen coolly look elsewhere for em
ployment, and leave your exhausted
fields to become a prey to thorns and
thistles.
6th. Select, and useurmehut the best
seeds, and bo divide your crops that an
abundance of grain and forage may be
assured from year to year.
The right observance -of these rales,
will go far to compensate fi r the threat
ened deficiency in labor, while the land
under cultivation, in a brief period wi i
quadruple its present yield, and increase
rapidly in value.
Those portions devoted to the cereals
will also cease to wash, and the annual
turning under of the grass and weeds
which succeed the harvest, must grad
ually restore the fertility of the soil.
Finally, let us combine to effect the
passage of a law abolishing fences, and
use every pnssible means to induce re
putable white emigrants to locate ampng
us.
Each prudent Scot or patient German,
or stalwart son of Erin, who becomes a
settler, will enhance the value of our
land and multiply the labour of the
country.
Again, such emigrants usually affili
ate with the people among whom they
cast their lot, and not infrequently
bring capital with them.
They thus eventually will add to the
political and numerical strength of the
whites, and increase the prosperity and
wealth of the country.
Who will say such a population will
not he preferable to a colored tenan try
whose roving habits and ancient procliv
ities will ever make unreliable.

, Buying Fertilisers on Time-
The Augusta Chronicle & Sentinel,
has an article whicb is copied by the
Telegraph & Messenger, -urging plan
ters to confine their orders to cash'-pur
chases, and thus save ’the interest of
about 20 per cent which is charged
usually upon time salea.
This is bad advice lo those who can
procure a standard article npon these
terms, nor are the dealers asking such
exhorbitant rates as may be inferred.
Money on the street is worth from 2
to three per cent per month, and even
the banks are asking about 15 per cent
per annum. Now-it is well known-that
many of the ingredients-composing these
compounds ere very-costly, and must
be paid for in cash. 5-f sold on time,
•the manufacturing business also must be
■ •doneupou the credit system, and large
sums oT money borrowed to keep "thema
chinery in motion.
After putting one rate of interest
therefore over agaiost the other, the
actual gain of the seller shove cash pri
ces, is the difference between the two
rates of interest.
This will rarely nosed wea per
cent B t it is universsal'y -conceded
that the application of 200 ibs. of a re
liable fertilizer per acre, will secure an
addition of 100 per cent to the yield of
the crop. Thus if one acre producing
in a natural state 600 11m of seed cotton
worth 45-duMars, is made to turn out
1200-pounds,'OO dofiais, npon nn outlay
of $W H meat, the actual interest reali
zed by the planter on the amount ex
pended, exceeds 400 per cent.
Besides this, in lieu 'of the usual de
terioration, bis land is improved in
fertility aDd value, and will make a bet
ter crop the succeeding year.
The above calculation is based upon
cotton at 21 cts. per pound.
But even supposing the yield to be
increased 50 per cent only, the interest
on the outlay will be 200 per cent, and
if 25 per cent, or one fourth, it will etik
amount to 100 per cent over the cost of
the fertilizers.
It is easy to see therefore that the
only question of r:sk to the planter, is
the genuineness of the article he employs
Dry and unprupitious for manure as
the past season was, those who used re
liable fertilizers realized handsome prof
its from them. Besides it should be
remembered that after all, mother earth
pays the debt, both principal and inter
est, and the planter does not turn a dol
lar until he hits made it.
Those who work poor land must en
counter the same outlay for stock, pro
visions, and labor, as they who u|xm the
same area of a more generous soil, re
alize quadruple as much.
Bow then can the difference be equal-
ized ? By the judicous use of fertilizers
bought if possible at cash figures, but
but still secured With alacrity, even at
the apparently high prices which rule.
Judicial Tyranny.
Wo print below a communication
ftom Brunswick, to the Savannah Re
publican dated the 11th, inst., announ
cing '.tie punishing by fine or imprison
ment of 19 Grand Jurors of the county
by Glynn, because m tbeir official ca
pacity they dared to censureJhe Judge
Ilf that Circuit, Sessions, for allowing
bail to a criminal for assault and bat
tery, who was then under indictment for
murder.
This is carrying matters with a high
hand. We thought Gea Terry was
our only master ia Georgia at this junc
ture.
We advise our Glynn friends howev
er to pay the fine imposed by this shal
low pated tyrant, or rather let the peo
pie of Georgia have that honor, limit,
ing the subscription for that purpose to
25 cents each.
All good men should make common
cause with the sturdy Brunswickers :
On Tuesday last the grand jury of
Glynn connty in their general present
ments, read in Court, censured Judge
Sessions for bis action in bailing a crim
inal convicted of assault with intent to
murder and against whom an indict
ment was then standing for murder in
the first degree. The Judge was high'
ly indignant at ihe time, but dismissed
the jury for the balance of the term.—
Subsequently, in chambers, he ordered
a fine ot twenty-five dollars against each
juror, or twenty-live days in jail, for con
tempt. The jury have refused to pay
the fitie, and say they feel they have
done but their duty, and have resolved
to go to jail in a body. There being
no jail in Brunswick, tbs Sheriff will
briug them to Savannah. They will
leave here on Friday, 11th inst., on the
Nick King. It is their intention to sue
out a writ of habeas corpus before
Judge Schley upon their arrival iu Sa
vannah.
A bitter feeling against Judge Ses
sions prevails extensively among tho
citizens here. Their trip to the N ick
King’s wharf to-day, will be a giatid
ovation. The citizens wiil turn out *n
masse to escort them.
Tbe people regard them almost as
martyrs. They honor them as bold
and fearless in the discharge of their
duty, and as men who do their duty if
they have to reproach the ermine of the
judiciary.
They may conclude to pay tbe fine
to day when they asse mble. I have no
idea they will, however. Amcos.

During the debate Bradley made a
long speech, saying Congress did not
want such an election, but prefers f.-r
Georgia to remain a territory, that un

The Savannah Republican says:
The Legislature as illegal^’ organ
ized, according to Terry and Bullock,
voted nwuy the credit of the State—or,
to state the truth, contracted obligations
which the State will have to pay—to
the amount of many millions, a portion
of the bonds being already issued, all of
which goes by the board under this
new Radical dispensation.
This may bo true, and, if ihe whole
sale ruin entailed upon the State by the
past action ot the present Legislature
could Stay repealed, dfespite the damage
to local interests in some cases, eveiy
tax payer would have cause to rejoice.
But with the new fangied concern
composed of‘black spirits and white,blue

ted and engineered by Bullock, Terry
and Butler, wbat have we to look for.

tion, and Georgia •which ratified ai the
point of the bayonet. As soon as tbe
official announcement shall be made
by the State Department, this amend
ment will be recognized by all depart
ments of the government as a part of
the fundamental law of tbe land.—
Whether thesu ratifications are legal
must he a question in tbe mind of every
man who ia no; so blinded by the pas
sion and prejudice oT patty as to be-
c -aie ob iviom to whit is fight. For
the time being the party in power is
strong enough to enforce the amend
ment, right or wrung, but the time may
come when an unbiassed tribunal shall
be culled iijMiu to examine tbe legality
of the amendment. I be raltficati -n of
tbe Southern StAes is so equivocal that
it would not be entertained for
ment were the Uim-s not revolutionary.
Several of tneir legislatures were elec

through by the foiee ot the bay-.net.—
l\ I til this example it will not be imp-is-
sible to change the Constitution at anv
lime, and in eucli macncr, as the p-fi-t"-
cal necessity of the party in power may
require. The fbilowiug from the New
Yoik Herald, ou the ratification by the
Southern St-ftes, puts tbe manner of do
i-g it in a proper light: “Southern
States were required to rut-fy the fit
teenlh amendment as a Condition of res
lorution to the Union. As they could
not be trusted to come in and then rati
fy it, they ratified-first and then came
iu. They were, therefore, not iu the Un
ion when they acted on the Constitution,
or else they were never oot of the Union.
Either, then, all the reconstruction Jaws
ol Congress are invalid, or these South
ern ratifications of the 'fifteenth atnend-
meud are invalid. If these States were
in the Union tilers w. is no need to admit
them, and il they were not in the Union
they could not participate iu making
laws for States that are in.’’
