Poor fellow ! * The Constitution 6ays: At meeting of • ■ub-commilte of the Trustees of Mercer Univer sity held in this city yesterday. Rev. W. C. Wilkes was elected Principal if Dalton High School, and Mr. J. D. GO..jns, Assistant. We learn that the school will open early in September. Tut Savannah Advertiser say 6 the first bale of cotton of 1873 was received in that city on the 11th, by Messrs. J. W. Lathrop & Cos., from Messrs. Stegall & Lathrop, Valdosta. It weighed 510, and classed good ordinary; sold at 27 ceDts. ——— The venerable Dr. Lovick Pierce was here at Commencement, says the Athens Watchman, and 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 address of bis distinguished son, the Bishop. 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 zens of Griffin, died on the 14th at that place of 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.

Look here, my friend, we live on that line. Pro duce your subscription list. The Macon Telegraph and Messenger says: Mr. D. W Croft, who for Ecven years has been one of the politest and most popular conductors on the Macon & Western Railroad, resigned that position <>u the Oth. His resignation was handed to Captain Foreacre, Superintendent, at Atlanta. The traveling public will regret the loss of Mr. Croft from the road. Always attentive and agree able, it was a pleasure to travel with him. May “ his lines be cast in pleasant places.” t. 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. I*rogref. The UghtnlDg pen, the stenographic electric manuscript, the steam press that flights libraries like thought and creates public opinion before fogy ism can realize the inception, the submarine cable that holds converse with antipodes and re sponds before our Domini- Sara;on’s could make a pen, and other thoughts 100 tedious to mention, give not the faintest conception of the grand, un developed future. Who can estimate, with a calm retrospect of a half century our ' ransceiidcnt destiny * The fledg ling of the nineteenth century stands in point of progress, a hoary connoisseur com paired with tue silvery beaded sires that ploded through the gradually waning chaos of the prtet. Ptogreo- is stereotyped and Exct l ior is engraven upon 'he escutcheon of the age. The immortal, restive soul, the Intellectual ccr ruecations of a divine mind, the climat c aspira tions of a scion o! divinity, can no more be esti mated or circumscribed than the height of tie aemth or the depth of the eunadir. It is sublime to gaze upon the majestic grandeur of the migbtv deep and watek the perpetual lash ings of her snowy caps. Our fathers gloried in the freighted messenger with unfurled sails as she floated “ like a thing of life,” to whiten every dis tant port; but who then dreamed of the continu oua thud of the heavy engine, or the lightning flashes of the submarine cable just beneath her keel The beautiful canopy of heaven's convexity, with its myriads of dazzling galaxies and radiant constellations, overawe nature’s admirer with in comprehensible thought. But who can deny that ire long, even before the lapse of another cycle of years, the etherlal blue, that as yet exists only in fancy and admiration, will lend its buoyant, fluid bosom to the transportation of magnificent air coaches that will float through the atmosphere subject to the will of sovereign man V 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 natic genius, like Wise or Donaldson, with Pull man sleeping cars attached, will not shout in our midst, “ All aboard for London or Japan !!” This is not extravagant. Doubtless some cen tencarian will exclaim, MirabUe dictal this can never be. Imagine Ben Franklin’s surprise and wonder, could he raise his head above the tomb and behold R. Hoe & Co’s Ten Cylinder Type Re volving Steam Printing Machine, that requires ten men with electric speed to receive its issue ! Think what consternation the Father of his coun try would betray, could he rise from Mt. Vernon and behold the head lights and smoke stacks, and hear the deafening din and rattle of our modern engines ? With all deference to his memory, we 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 tx"nae lor not putti; g pen to paper. Then I have taken the solteot seat 1 e-.u find anywhere within doors, with the dogged dete: min-.tlon to write 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.
