three hundred bands are employed by these works,
and a perfect village has sprung up around them.”
Tub Standard and Express has this to say about
the address of Gen. Colquitt, delivered to the
young ladies of the College at that place: “We
were much pleased with the address delivered by
Gen. Colquitt on last Friday night, and hope that
his exposition of the ridiculous “yellow-backed”
literature of the day will deter those young friends
who heard him from storing their minds with ab
surd, sentimental nonsense. The distinguished
gentleman was familiar with his subject, and evi
dently bad learned, by seme means, what kind of
stud novels are made of.”
Tub Atlanta Herald has the following dispatch
from Athens, in regard to the Holliday homicide:
Mr. Holliday, who was killed by a constable
and posse of citizens of Jackson county, was

who attempted to arrest him Sunday, when he
resisted him with an axe. The constable then
begged him to come to the Court-house on Mon
(iay at noon, which fie refused to do. The posse
weut to bis house on Tuesday, when he fired on
them with a double-barreled shot gun loaded with
buck shot, striking three of the men. He fired
a second time, and they returned the fire, killing
him. He was armed with two guns, a pistol and
bowie-knife.
“The coroner’s jury returned a verdict of justi
fiable homicide iu execution of the law.
got one of the posse had been charged with
being a gn-klux by Holliday qr any other peison.
The posse consisted of some of the first dtixens of
ta county.”
A Visit to Forsyth,
Sabbath Exercises—Monroe County—Her Soil and
People—Prosperity of Forsyth—Crops, etc.
The traveling correspondent of the Telegraph
and Messenger,‘as our witty triend “Progress”
loves to call him, apent the past Sabbath in the
town of Forsyth, the county-seat of Monroe, one
of the beat counties in the Btate. We worshipped
with the little band of “ PredeatinariaDS,” aa Mr.
deGrafTenried styles the Presbyterian persuasion,
and enjoyed the sermon exceedingly. The text
was drawn from Hebrews 4th chap, and 9th verse
—“ There remaineth therefore a rest to the people
of God."
This was a most comforting theme, aDd preg
nant in hope to the Christian in this life of tarmoil
and unrest, where one trial only succeeds another,
and even the fruition of early ambition is but dust
and ashes on the lids of the successful aspirant.
The sermon elicited many tears from those who
had tasted of the emptiness of life’s joys, while it
lightened the burden of the many pilgrims who
are struggling on in the straight and narrow path
which leads to the gates of the celestial city. But
we will not reproduce it on this “ week day.”
From the elder Mr. Sharp, and his gallant son,
Cyrna, who wears an empty sleeve, Col. Pinckard,
Dr. Roddey, Mr. Pye, our host of the Hotel, and
many others ot the hospitable and noted people
of Forsyth the wilter la under lasting obligations
for genial acts ot conrtesy and hospitality. Pleas
ant, too, and not soon to be forgotten, uas the
acquaintance formed with divers devout and pretty
girls, who are “ predestinated ” to make a- many
fortunate fellows supremely happy. It was Sun
day, and our “ alter ego,” always within bow shot,
rendered it impossible, if bis “old Adam” had
prompted, for this deponent to be particularly de
monstrative to these “lovely creatures.” But if
It be true “a thing of beauty is enjoyed forever,”
then they will ever retain a place in his remem
brance.
MONROE COUNT*
was laid ofl in 1821, during the Presidency of Mr.
Monroe. In honor to him the best portion of the
recently acquired territory received his name.
Perhaps no portion of the Boutb in its primeval
state was more fertile and beautiful. The soil
was rich, the forest growth luxuriant and varied,
the landscape agreeably diversified with hill and
valley, and plentifully watered with purling
streams and gushing springs of the purest water.
It is not surprising, therefore, that population set
in like a tidal wave, and soon this new Canaan was
rescued from the wilderness and became the abode
of wealth, refinement and intelligence. The area
of Monroe then embraced several counties and
fractions of counties, which have since been sub
divided.
As an instance of the esteem in which Mon
roe lands were held, after Pike was set off from
it, an old citizen informed us that just over the
line and separated by an invisible boundary only,
the price of lots in the old, exceeded by many
fold that In the new county. So much for fancy.
And despite the abuse of mother earth under the
slave regime, the utter neglect of rotation in
crops, the absence of hillside ditching and judi
cious cultivation, this magnificent region still
retains Its proud prestige as one of the banner
counties of Georgia.
Under the free use of commercial manures and
the diminished acreage of crops, better culture,
etc., the over taxed soil is now rapidly recuper
ating, and bids fair again to resume its virgin
fertility.
Many distinguished men have been reared in
Monroe, or selected that favored spot as their
abode. Among the number, Hon. John A. Cuth
bert, a member of the United States Senate, and
a native of Liberty county, and several jurists of
note. Mr. Trlppe, one of the present members
of the Supreme Court, was born and reared in
Monroe.
Forsyth exhibits healthy signs of improvement,
in the number of substantial buildings in course
of erection. That public spirited citizen Mr. Pye,
nothing daunted by his losses from the fiery ele
ment, Is constructing a commodius hotel ol brick,
which will give quite an impetus to the growth
of tne town. Famed for Us salubrity, many in
valids en route and returning from Indian Spring,
or visitors from the seabord, may be induced to
tarry a season there, if assured of being made
comfortable, The Female College, under the aus
pioee of Mr. Asbury, is also in a most flourishing
condition, *
We heard the statement made by one who
ought to know, that at a general election some
years since, Monroe cast the largest white vote of
any county in the State. She ! s still populous and
wealthy, and the majority of her people are good
livers, and well to do in the world.
THK GROWING CHOPS,
both of corn and cotton, are luxuriant and prom
ising. The former, it is said, is the finest known
in this regiop fpy 9 leng series of years. The
stands of cotton, too, are regular, and the weed
generally “chopped out,” and thrifty. Guano has
done wonders both tor grass and cotton, though
we saw few fields that were not comparatively
clean and in good order. On the whole the plaut
ere of Monroe have little to complain of, and the
repeated rains are just what their thirsty red soil
craves. Unless a sudden drought sets in the yield
of cereals \yil} fee unprecedented. We trust the
latter rain will not be withheld from them. Tele
graph and Messenger.
Obiqiu of thb Atlantic Ooze.— The saltness
of the sea is very rationably accounted for in the
following way: A constant distillation of pure
water is taking place from the enormous surface
of the ocean by the solar heat; clouds are formed
which drift in part over the continents, aud on
coming into contact with the necessary climatic
conditions fall as rain ; this in its turn filters drop
by drop through the soil, a D d forms the springs
which overflow and produce the brooks and rivers.
The water of the latter, however, is no longer
pure, bnt is found on analysis to contain, cn'un
average, about 0.7 grains of chloride per gallon,
derived, no donbt, from the soil, and probably in’
most cases in combination with sodium. The
water thus charged with chloride reaches the sea
where it is subjected to the concentrating process
described above, and so tjme after time the soil is
leached, me chloride dissolved oat of i: accumu
lating in the ocean. The same process explain*
the presence in sea water of carbonate of lime,
which forms a large part of the ooxe found cover
ing the bottom of the sea. Chlorides are not the
pcly solid ppqstitqents of spring and river waters,
for every grain of chloride, snch waters contain
on an average from six to eight grains of carbon
ate of life. This is swept down to the ocean; the
carbonic acid in the water, by which alone the car
bonate of lime is rendered soluble, is dissipated
by the sun’s heat at the surface of the S ea, and
the carbonate qf lige subsides in finer particles to
the bottom, forming the impalpable mud or ooxe
described as covering the lower half of the recov
ered Atlantic cable. This sediment is doubtless
made up of the chalky exuvia of marine animal
life, bnt that its bnlk is chiefly the product of a
process, like that above described, seems clear,
since on any other basis war unable to account
for the disposal of the enormous quantity of car
bonate of lime daily carried by rivers into the sea.

FORSYTH, GEORGIA. TUESDAY MORNING, JUNE 24. 1873.
The Husbandman.
To tillers of the soil Gcd gave
Assurance of abundaut bread ;
Before the potentates and pow’ra,
They should not bow the cringing head.
He who the bead and burden bears
Shall reap reward for all bis cares.
O men, who wield the mighty plow,
Ye hold the nations in your hand.
They crowd to do you homage now.
And ask your bread Irom ev’ry land.
You are our head and front of strength—
The world shall own your worth at length.
Rise in the might of holy right,
O, yeomen of the Eden West!
Send o’er the seas the words of light,
“ God’s lab’ring freemen here are blessed—
Each home is here a kindled shrine,
Where peaceful harvest ofl’riugs shine ;
Where royal thought goes hand iu hand,
With steady industry and care ;
Where strength and gra e together stand,
And houor crowns the good and fair.”
So shall the husbandme.. ..rise.
Clothed with a rnort than princely guise.
Knocked About in the World.— lt is a good
thing for a young man to be “ knocked about in
the world,” though his 6oft-hearted parents may
not think so. All youths, or if not all, nineteen
twentieths of the sum total, enter life with a sur
plusage of self-conceit. If, in measuring them
selves with wiser and older men than they are,
they discover that it is unwarranted, and get rid
of it gracefully of their own accord, well and
good; if not, it is desirable, lor their own sakes,
that it be knocked out of them.
A boy who is sent to a large school soon finds
his level. His will may have been paramount at
tome; but schools are democratic in their ideas,
and if arrogant, are sure to be thrashed into a re
cognition of the golden rule. The world is a
great public school, and it soon teaches anew
pupil hia proper place. If he has the attributes
that belong to a leader, he will be installed in that
position ; if not, whatever his own opinion or h's
abilities may be, he will be compelled to fall in
with the rank an! file. It not destined to great
ness, the next best thing to which he can aspire is
respectability; but no man can either be truly
great or respectable who is vain, pompous and
overbearing.
By the time the novice has found his legitimate
social position, be the same high or low, the pro
bability is that the disagreeable traits of his cha
racter will be softened down or worn away. Most
likely the process of abrasion will be rough, perhaps
very rough; but when it is all over and he begins
to see himself as others see him and not retl ected
in the mirror ol self conceit, he will be thankful
that he has run the gauntlet, and arrived through
by a rough road, at self knowledge. U pon the
whole, whatever loving mothers may think to the
contrary, it is a good thing for youths to be
knocked about in the world—it makes men of
them.
The Best Feed to Produce Milk.— lt is well
settled in the opinion of our best dairyin en, that
bran greatly promotes the milk secretions in
cows, and it is fed almost universally. About
equally mixed with corn meal is the usual pro
portion. This mixture seems to promote both
quantity and quality of milk.
From several sources we hear that buckwheat
bran is a great milk producer, and is now being
used considerably among our Chester county
dairymen, in about the same proportions as f o the
other.
Thomas Gawthrop, near West Grove, Chester
county, Pa., also by repeated trials with his own
cows has fully satisfied himself that they do as
well with corn and cob meal and bran. The
amount of nutriment in corn-cobs is so small, that
this result will have to be explained on the sup
position of the ground cob acting to promote di
gestion by distending the stomach. The pres
ence of bulky material being uecctssary to pro
mote distention and till up the stomach of rumi
nating animals, before perleet digestion can be
accomplished is frequently lost sight of. Hun
garian grass is also found fer milch cows to be
rather superior to the ordinary run of hay. The
last year or two, Hungarian grass has loomed up
wonderfully in the estimation of our dairy farm
ers ; and a very large scope of land will be sowed
with it the coming season. It matures lor cut
ting in about sixty days, and produces two to four
tons per acre—the latter of course on good soils.
Three pecks to the acre is the usual allowance of
seed. Where a good hay market is convenient,
this substitution of Hungarian grass for common
hay in home feeding will be a clear additional
source of profit.
Mrs. Victoria C. Woodhull.—Mrs. Wood
hull, the well known female broker, who was
suddenly stricken down by heart disease last eve
ning, at her residence, No. 6 East Thirty-fourth
street, is still in a precarious condition. Col.
Blood and Miss Tennie Clatlin remained by her
bed-side all night, ministering to her wants. To
day 6he is quite conscious, bat she is not allowed
to speak or move, as the slightest exertion might
prove fatal. Sedative medicine wa3 administered
to her during the night, to prevent any inflam
mation, and allay, as far as possible, all excite
ment. Blood occasionally oozed from her lips,
and the physicians are satisfied that she burst a
blood vessel near the heart. They add that for
the next twenty-four hours she will continue in a
critical condition, aud at the end of that time
they will be able to say with certainty whether she
will recover from this attack or not. Meantime,
her death may take place at any moment.
Mias Tennie C. Clallin says that her sister has
been overworked ol late, and that excitement att
ending on the various trials In which she is de
fendant, has preyed upon her system much more
than was believed by the unobservant public. Yes
terday afternoon a gentleman called at their office
and told that two new indictments had been found
against them. This intelligence gave Mrs. Wood
hull a terrible shock, and she seemed for the rest
of the day, up to the final catastrophe, like one in
a dream.— M. YExpress.
The Homeless Man.— The New York San of
the 19th says : On Saturday Jack Canter, the coun
terfeiter, finished his ten years’ sentence in Sin l '
Sing, aud was turned loose upon the world a most
unhappy mau. Jack Canter, although ouly fifty
years old Las served twenty-nine years in Sing
Sing prison. He has been convicted of nearly
every crime in the calendar. His last offence was
the making of counterfeit fractional currency in
Mount Vernon. Three years ago Jack, who in all
his former terms was clerk in the prison, was as
signed to duty in the wash-room. As clerk, Jack
had charge of the time-book of convicts, and be
ing an expert penman and mathematician’, he per
formed nearly all the duties of chief clerk.
It eventually dawned upon the mind of the war
den and the clerk that convicts were going out of
the prison more rapidly than they were coming in
Investigation showed that for years Canter “had
been systematically shortening the terms of con
victs on the books at terms of SIOO each. Th*
average reduction made in time was about one
halt, some mare and some less. Thus, a ten year
man, it he had SIOO, coaid get off with only five,
six or seveD years, just as the prominence or ob
scurity of the convict might suggest On the die
covery of this trick Jack lost his situation. From
that time he filled a very menial place in the pris
on, and yearned for the expiration of his time.
Bnt when the great iron door closed behind him
with a clang and he a free man in the busy
world again, he sat down on a stone and wept
aloud.
