The venerable Dr. Lovick Pierce was here at

although recently suflering from a very serious at
tack, exhibits remarkable vigor for a man of hia
yeara. It must have been a great pleasure to this
venerable servant of the Lord to hear the grand

The Atlanta Constitution says :
Sam Gore says the reports that caterpillars are
In Twiggs county are all stuff. “Cotton is three
weeks behind hand, but I never saw a better crop
In my life." “ How about corn, Sara ?” “ Raised
mor’n wc want, potatoes and fruit, too. Yes, sir,
we Lave a bully crop of everything."
If Bain’s good authority Twiggs Is all right.
The Telegraph and Messenger says:
Captain John Mangham, father of our towns
man, Col. T. W. Mangham, cashier of the Central
Georgia Bank, of this city, and a prominent citi

paralysis. Captain Mangham lived in Macon
when General La Fayette passed through here,
and got up the dinner given him by the citizens.
We understand he was 83 years old.

A. 11. Stephens, In his Athens address, says:
“My subject is ‘The Letters of Junius.’ More
than a hundred years ago they first made their
apppearance, and the editor in whose journal they
appeared was severely dealt with. Who he was
Is a mystery which has never been satisfactorily
solved. He was a literary wonder of a century.
He must have been of considerable wealth. He
must have occupied a social position as high as
that of the sou of a peer, and must have been a
man of leisure. Intellectually he had no superior
In England. Kings and lords were the sport of
bis pen. His energy, vigilance and perseverance
were unconquerable. The opinion that Sir Philip
Francis was Junius is preposterous."
Old Army Officers.— The Rome Courier says
our city can boast at present of a proud array of
distinguished and war-scarred veterans. Tuesday
morning we noticed, standing in one group,
quite a number of these gentlemen, all of whom
were officers in the United States Army, and who
resigned their positions to take the part in the
gallant and glorious struggle for Southern inde
pendence.
It was very pleasent to look at these war-scarred
veterans, all of whom are engaged in civil pur
suits. They were Geueral William M. Gardner,
wounded at first Manassas; General Alfred Cum
mings, General Charles W. Fields, Surgeon Wil
liam A. Carswell, Colonel Alexander B. Mont
gomery, and Major John N. Perkins.

The irrepressible Atlanta Herald gives us “an
actual tact." One of the servants at the Kimball
House was almost overcome with surprise and
merriment, several days 6ince, when he took
a gentleman and his baggage to the elevator to
carry him to a room in one of the upper stories.
When the waiter opened the door the gueat
stepped in and the gate was eloeed. Before they
began to ascend, the gentleman, thinking that
was the room to which he had been assigned, re
marked to the servant: “ Here, you go and tell
that clerk that I don’t like this room. It Is too
dark, and has no bed, and no accommodations
whatever.” This statement came near proving
fatal to that negro, who, before he could control
his risibilities, had started the ascent, when a ray
of light came on the visitor’s face simultaneously
with a bright ray on hia mind. The visitor, It is
well to remark, is a presiding Judge of considera
ble tame in one of the Georgia circuits, nameless
here forever more.”
The Macon Editor of the Atlanta Constitution
says: In an interview with a planter of Dougherty
connty the fact was stated that the cotton caterpil
lar was as “thick as autumn leaves in Vaiambrosa”
In that county. But he stated that the planters
were effectually using Royal’s and Whesenant’s
preparations of Paris green, and wherever sprink
led upon the stalks it was a dead shot against the
fatal worm. The planters were universally using
it wherever the dreaded Insect appeared on their
crops.
These preparations have been used to that
point where they amount to a positive demon
stration, and, Slid this planter, the great enemy
ot all our hopes in successively cultivating the
lest cotton lands in all Georgia, has thus been
slain by a simple application of well known chem
ical properties. Continuing ! “This sir, will even -
tuallymake Southwest Georgia the greatest coun
try within the known world. Its fatal adversary
no longer has Its terror —cotton has lost its most
mortal enemy and heucelorth we will produce
lull crops every year.
He spoke of the Are decoy invention of an Ala
bamian as a first clasa humbug. “That may kill
a few flies, bat the Paris green, when applied
directly to the plant, will kill the moment of inha
lation." Tula enthusiastic Southwest Georgiau
teemed aa happy over the discovery as if he found
the philosopher’s stone, aud no doubt it will be
infinitely more profitable than that mythical piece
of granite. It to at least not> dream.

Who will positively divine that before the time
elapses, as long as since the iron horse came ca
reering over the hills, that some splendid ro

This is not extravagant. Doubtless some cen

never be. Imagine Ben Franklin’s surprise and
wonder, could he raise his head above the tomb

Think what consternation the Father of his coun

and behold the head lights and smoke stacks, and
hear the deafening din and rattle of our modern

opine he, like David Crocket, would exclaim,
“ Hell in harness!’’
To think that we have arrived at the acme of
our glory, or reached the ultimatum of aspiring
genius, would be as preposterous as to impute
impossibility to Deity.
Dirtt Cotton A Loss to All —Through the
kindness of Mr. W. A Pye, one of ocr cotton fac
tors we publish the following interesting matter,
which is of very great importance to our farmers,
and we hope none will fail to read it: “ One singu
lar feature in this season’s trade demands the at
tention of our cotton producers. The nominal
quotation of the price of American cotton at Liv
erpool Is based upon the grade middling. That
haslallen slowly for seme months, and is
lor uplands, for Orleans. We may call the
average price of middling uplands for the last
three months 9d. It is questionable if the average
cotton spining of England would not have been
without profit, cr at an actual loss, on the prices
obtainable for their mill products, if all grades of
American cotton had this season been priced in
their usual relation to middling, and that at 9d.
But in the crop of 1872-8 wa3 an immense dis
propotion of low grade and dusty cotton, the
greater part of which found its way into England.
Intrinsically worth to a spinner, who could use
it at all, nearly as much as middling, except the
loss by greater waste in use (probably not more
than per lb. la average of all that portion
not very dusty). It has been freely selling at Cd.
to while very dusty bales sold down to 4J
to 51£d.; the better sort to 3L and the very
dusty 3>£d. to sd. below the price of middling.
At least one-half (an average of of this
unsual difference has been a clear profit to the
spinner, and as clearly a loss to the planters,
except In those cases, where the planters loss was
divided with unloftunate expoters. In every
crop there is some loss by bad handling of the
cotton, in picking, gining, and especially in pack
ing it for market. When the portion of such cot
ton in a crop is small it will sell for nearly its true
relative value. But when that portion Is large, as
in the crop of 1872 8, and the crop otherwise
below the usual average grade, the excessive sup
ply of low cotton, hewever good its staple, is
forced down to competition with the poorest and
cheapest cottons in the market, such as those of
Madras, Bengal, and Bombay. The depreciation
in England forces a correspoding depreiation of
low and dirty cotton elsewhere—at home, on
the continent, or wherever it finds use. It is not
extravagant to estimate a loss of per ft.on 1,-
000,000 bales of the crop of 1872 by this grave mis
fortune or fault of the planters, and that amounts
to over 814,000,000 in gold. The entire loss by the
depreciation consequent upon the average low
grade of the crop, and upon bad handling and
packing, the greater part of which might have
been prevented without material reduction of
quantity, has more likely been equal to twelve
millions or more to the producers and eight mil
lions to exporters or others to whom the cotton
was first sold, while the amount of reclaimations
for mixed.and dust packed bales, and the trouble
to factors and dealers caueed thereby, are togeth
er something frightful to the contemplation of the
latter class of merchants.
How Thei Kill Them Over in Alabama. —
Mr. D. F. Prout, a large planter living in the
“ Canebrake” section of Alabama, writes a letter
to the Selma Times describing his method of kill
ing the caterpillar, and which has proved entirely
successful. He says:
“I had ordered two hundred pounds of Paris
green from New York about the middle of July,
but it was delayed on the way and did not reach
here until the first of August. In the meantime
the worm had appeared in large numbers on the
most luxuriant of my bottom land cotton and
threatened serious injury. Immediately on its re
ceipt I commenced vigorous operations iu the
following manner: The different squadshaving
been provided with all the appliances for hauling
water rapidly and storing it conveniently in the
field, six active, carelul hands were put in charge
of that number of two gallon watering pots, and
were waited on by other hands, each supplied
with a common blue bucket. An iron teaspoon
was filled heaping with the Paris green, and was
thoroughly mixed with about two gallons of
water in the buckets, poured into the watering
.pots, and immediately applied to the plants. To
thoroughly spriukle the cotton about forty gal
lons of water to the acre were used, acd this
quantity required a pound of Paris green.
“Water being abundantly supplied, and the
hands active and willing, the work went on with
dispatch, and in a day and a half sixty acres were
watered. This being all that was seriously infect
ed, I stopped operations for the time. In twenty
four honrs afler the application of the Paris green
the worms were nearly all dead or dying, and the
cotton is now putting on anew growth. To de
stroy the worm effectually the plant must be thor
oughly watered, and euongh of the Paris green
used to be perceptible on the leaves. After it is
will dried a light rain does not remove it, but it
will require time to test its power applied in this
way to effect the second crop of worms.”
The Southern Watchman says : It is true, we
learn, that Chancellor Lipscomb has tendered hia
resignation, as reported in some oi the papers,
bat it does not, in any event, take effect until
next August; it having been stipulated, when he
was elected, that he should give twelve months’
notice of resignation. We have not learned
whether the Board of Trustees took any action
concerning the matter at Commencement
The report that Col. Broun, President ol the
State College of Agriculture and Mechanic Arta,
had been elected in place was premature.
Letter From Randolph County.
Randolph, Cos , Aco. 13, 1573.
Editor Monroe Advert iter : It has been my in
tention for several weeks past to advise your read
ers, whose fortunes are identified with Middle
Georgia—the place of my birth and iducation—
of what is going on hither, but first one thing and
then another would inteivene from day to day to
prevent the consummation of this pleasing task
until now. As lam now and have, for two weeks
or more, teen cooped up in my bouse with a flour
ishing crp of “ooils,” assailing the tesdirest i arts
of my body, which disqualifies me for the per
formance of my wonted routine of <iutie, being
scarcely able to stand or walk,l have no longer ;:n

taken the solteot seat 1 e-.u find anywhere within

someth i g about matters end thinirs which i: —v
interest most ot jour reaiL is. 1 ah :il b-g:u with
our crop j rospeets snd tnd with eotueMiing else.
Our crops ol Indian corn, thr> ug!;< o; Southwest
Georgii-, weie neVjr better 'ban ai present. This
tact is cheering to our hearts, and bat for a single
diawbaek I ahouid soy our planters have at last
attained a petition from which they can calmly
view the “ promised land.” Our hearts have
panted lor this great desideratum ever since Gen.
Lee’s surrender. And the plan inaugrated to at
tain it was to grow cotton to the almost total ex
clusion of our “cereals "and bogs, that we might
once more reach that altitude upon fortune’s lad-
der ot which we had boasted for years. With this
hope aud design constantly in view, the area of
our grain crops has been annually lessened until
the planters have almost ignored the production
ol the necessaries of life. The plan lately adopted
has given us “ data ” upon which we may eafely
rely in estimating the respective amount ol corn
and cotton which have been planted this year in
! every county throughout the entire State. Ac
cording to the statistics made public by many of
the tax receivers, I see that Monroe county has
seeded double ss mneh cotton as com. It may
not be quite as bad as this in other sections, but
there is certainly a great disparity in every county
from which -intelligence has been received. This
deplorable State of affairs is destined to increase
the embarrassments which have borne heavily
upon our people for several years, and fo. which
I know of no remedy, but a single one, apd tfcat
is to abandon the suicidal policy, now and forever,
and return to old land marks, in olden times,
when I was in mj early boyhood, our
filled to their utmost capacity with corn, our gar
ners were well stored with wheat, our barns
were crowded with well-cured oats—that grain
which mules anti horses nave ever atscusseu witq
a good appetite, and an abiding amount of flesh
and strength; and last, though not least, our
smoke houses teemed with well-cured bacon.
These were days in which our people were happy,
prosperous and innocent, and It gladdens my
heart of hearts thus to avert to then). This was an
terior to the construction of railroads which has in
my humble opinion, engendered our iliad of woes.
For it is susceptible of demonstration that our
life struggle with the North would have resulted
quite different but for this modern curse to the
whole of Christeudom. But this is neither the
time or place to discuss this great theme. Then,
to return, the whole plan erected by our planters
several years ago must be abandoned ere they can
ever again see the halcyon days we onceerijoyed.
It they desire to see meat cheap and cotton dear,
why, let them increase the production of the for
mer and lesson that of the latter. As long as the
planter hugs to bis bosom the phantom that now
deludes him, my word for it, he will never again
taste the joys of prosperous and happy times.
But how is it, I am asked, with our cotton fields?
It is really hard to give a satisfactory answer to
this query. Many, very mauy, are already com
plaining of the insectß that committed such rav
ages last year. And those who have not as yet
detected these little thieves in their cotton fields
are daily expecting their advent, thus making
themselves miserable by anticipation. My can
did impression is, that the caterpillar has not, up
to this time, done any serious injury. Neither do
I think its ravages will be tantamount to what we
painfully witnessed last year. But on the other
hand ail experienced planters must believe that
the floods of rain which have descended from the
clouds since dog days set in, has already done great
injury, and, if the balance of the forty days should
resemble those which have just passed away for
ever, we may reasonably expect a much shorter
crop than is even now anticipated.
The gray lands, especially those which have
been under unremittteg tillage for a long series
of years, have already dropped much fruit. And
a continuance of the same sort of weather will
soon tell a tale which must force blood from every
pore of the planter’s heart. I, for one, anticipate
a result like the one herein depicted, and if, in
the winding up, all shall be forced to acknowlege
a short crop, I ask what will then be the status
of onr planters? It makes my heart throb
with paiu when I dwell for a moment in my
“ mind’s eye” upon the picture I have hastily
sketched. Long bills must then be met, promptly
met. Let us for a moment look at this ungainly
thing, called an act. Here we find a loDg list of
costly apparel, bought for wives and daughters,
which will never marry off the latter or add a
spark to the happiness of the first named. Then
comes a long list for corn and meat, bought at
ruinous prices, which ought to be the production
of our farms. Then coffee and sugar, the flour
and the Bird to make our bread palatable. Every
one of the last mentioned articles, save coffee
conld be made upon almost every farm in South
west Georgia, and it reflects much dieeredit upon
our planters to know that most ot them have
been ignored as part and parcel of their annual
crops. Well, aggregate the bill and the amount is
much larger than was anticipated; beyond, in
many instances greatly beyond, the finances of
the parties bound to respond thereto. This
state of affairs joins both ends of the rope to the
merchant who holds a lien upon the planter’s
ciop, and is much to be deplored. Christmas
next will find many planters without the necessa
ries of life—without credit and resources.
How this state of affairs is to be met, satisfacto
rily, Is beyond my ken. Fo" these seven or eight
years many of our sagacious and patriotic men,
being fully aware of the tendency of the line of
policy to which our planters were wedded, have
spared neither pen nor paper in their earnest ef
forts to influence them to change their pro
gramme, ere absolute ruin should overwhelm
them. Bat the price of onr great staple neutral
ized their efforts. And the result is, our people
are poorer to-day than at any time since they
were robbed of their negro property. They must
lend an ear—a listening ear—to the many voices
hitherto engaged in warning them against im
pending evils, or we shall ere loDg cease to be a
free and prosperous people.
Our people hire (I mean the producing class)
are much exercised about the new organization
called “Granges” or “Patrons of Husbandry.”
Many lodges have already been started, and many
more will very soon be in full blast. I have a
copy of the Constitution aud By-laws of the State
Grange, and after giving both a “ bird’s-eye”
view, must say my whole heart is absorbed in
this philanthropic effort to absolve our producing
class irom at leait a portion oi the impostures
with wh.eh they are now environed. Bat the
people want more light, and I trust the press will
at once take the matter in hand, and give them
what they so much covet. Why the journalists
have said so little about this important matter is
a mystery to many.
A Jew object to this new organization, because
they see, or affect to see, a political scheme in it
to revolutionize parties in the United States. This
may prove to be true, and if so it will commend
itself to every lover of civil and religious liberty.
For sure I am that a change of this sort conld not
injure our people. Concert cf action is much
needed amongst our planting population, and
some plan should at once be resorted to, which
will abridge the enormous profits now being real
ized upon the necessaries of life. It is like taking
away the heart’s blood of the consumer, and
should be tolerated no longer. The Grange will,
in my humble opinion, accomplish both of these
ends, and much more. But as it is my purpose
to write an article, at no distant day, upon the
ends and purposes oi the “ Patrons ot Husband
ry ’’ I shall refrain from saying more just now.
Wishing von and your coadjutors health and
prosperity, 1 bid you farewell. Planter.
Lincoln's Masoritt.—Mr. Stephens in his
rtew History ot the United States says the elec
toral vote of the colleges stood : ISO for Lincoln
and Hamlin; 72 tor Breckenridge and Lane: 39
for Bill and Everett; and 12 for Douglaa and
Johnson. By a plurality count of the popular
vote, Mr. Lincoln carried 18 states; Mr. Brecken
ridge 11; Mr. Bell 3 , and Mr. Douglas but one.
The 18 States thm carried by Mr. Lincoln were
all north of what was known as the Mason and
Dickson line; the election therefore was entiiely
sectional. The popular vote cast for him in the ag
gregate amounted to 1,857,610; while the like
aggregate vote cist against him, (divided betw. en
the three oth-.-r candidates) amounted to 2,804,-
560. This shows how differently the result might
have been if the opponents of the schemes of the
Agitators had united upon cue ticket. As it was
Mr. Douglas and J -bnsou earned but one State
on the plurality count, though of the aggregate
popular vote tney earned 1315,976, the mxt
Highest vote to Mr. Lincoln. He w;s elected
without the majority ot the popular vote of the
states of the people.
Tue Gran oss.—This organization, at first con
sidered contemptible, has assumed its porteutious
proportions, and bids lair to sweep the country.
It now numbers its hundred thousands and is
destined to control primarily the agricultural,
manufacturing and commercial interests of the
country. Speculators and monopolies will no
longer, after permanent organizations of this
Order, control the hard earned proceeds of the
farmer. The legislation favoring liens will prove
inoperative, and the farmer, by the assistance of
the Granges, will be enabled to withhold his cot
ton from the market until the price will justify a
sale. This we think will be the inevitable tenden
cy of the institution. Whether or not it will as
sume a political aspect is yet to be seen. We will
notice it at large hereaiter.
CPLT.VATION OF THE OLIVE IK GEORGIA.—The
World says the cultivation of olive trees in the
South, as a source of revenue, aeems to have been
, unwisely overlooked in that section, if the expe
j riences of Mr, James Postel, who plants these
i trees on Bt. Simon’s, in Georgia, may be taken as
l an example. The Savannah Advertiser speaks of
an excellent article ol table oil which Mr. Postel,
| with a rude process of manufacture, has inade
from olives grown by himself. He has 250 trees,
thirty feet apart, planted in 1825, all in bearing.
The average five gallons of) oil each season with
little attention. In 1870 the amount of oil pro
duced amounted to 1,250 gallon, worth $8 per gal
lon. This seems to be a very remunerative cul
ture,
A Hand Ice Machine. —Gen. Alfred Iverson,
late of the Confederate States army, the captor of
Stoneman, has obtained letters patent for a ma
chine for the manufacture of ice, which is intend
ed to be introduced into every household. It is
about the size of an ice cream lreeaer, and is so
constructed that it will freeze water into solid
blocks of ice in ten or fifteen mlnntes. One of
these machines will cost S2O or $25, after obtain
ing of which the round expense of makrag all the
ice a family would use in a year would not per
haps sum up $2 per gross. The world moves
most certainly.— Angusta Constitutionalist.
