It is known as No. S, and was built to run ou thp day Unp from here to Chattanooga, and wpnt out on its float trip yes: terday morning. Thk Standard and Express says: “ The Bartow Iron works, near this city, are growing into mam moth proportions. They will soon be aljle to turn out about thirty tons of pig mettle s day. About 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 charged with an attempt to murder the constable, 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. ** nnouncement, on the death of a lady, reads: She lived fifty years with her husband, and died in confident hope of a better life.” A Massachusetts Congressman (U Is not neqea. ••TJ to mention names jla credited with saying to “ ember ttm “ no one has ever been sbie to fold np aa idea thin enongh to poke it into that old crack lam head,” 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.
