TIIE MONROE JllL. ADVERTISER. GKORGE A. KING A CO. ] VOL. XX. £ht iijlmuoc Adratisc?. lOLSYTH. TUESDAY, AriUT. 27, 1875 The T*iil<*nej l<> .'Wove from ihe < ouniry to llic Tow n* It i tno- ihat this is tle leniency of civiliza tion, tin world over; but various cruises bring ulwnit this result. lu Great Britain, the fact that le>- than forty thousand jreopl** own all the land, and the further fact that one-half of all the arable land is sown to grass crops, ex plain why the masses seek the manufacturing o ntres In France, ow ing to the system of small holdings—the average farm being less than five acres—and to the fact that the French people scarce!)* ever emigrate from France, the tendency to Hock to Paris and other cities is due to another cause. The scarcity of land in pro portion to those entitled by law to become land holders by hereditary right—the French law being the very opposite of the law of primo geniture-forces many of the young men in every community to leave the farm to the family and seek their living in the cities Hence the perfection of French manufactures, and the elaborate attention paid to the details in every business connected with manufactures or archi tecture. It was to give employment to this restive class of the population which caused Napoleon 111, to build the fine quarters and splendid boulevards of Paris. In this country, however, the result must be traced to a different cause. The South has al ways been an agricultural country, and the majority of the people, prior to the war, either lived in, or had their means invested in, the country. The New York World truly says: “ The drift of population from thefarms to the towns lias steadily continued and still continues, for the simple reason that the vices of idleness and pilfering in which Radical agitators have en couraged the negroes have in many sections made planting not only the least profitable but one of tlm most hazardous industries in which capital and the labor of the capitalest could be invested. ht the central belt of Alabama, Mis s' uppi and Louisiana there are few’ men who fa e a prospect of earning a living in any other employment, but desert cotton plantations as more vexatious and uncertain than profitable.” Where there is a surplus of land —good, fer tile land—for sale at one-tenth its money value before the war, this moving from farms to towns, of a people ignorant of any mode of making a living except by agriculture, inexpli cable in no other way except by bad govern ment. Political economy looses itself in a mist of theories when it seeks to apply rules, that arc correct in densely peopled Europe,to sparse ly populated America. Especially is this true when all the power and influence of the Cen tral government has been brought to bear against the material interests of the South. Worse Gar worse thaiWhc subsidy exacted by Prussia fjrom KVanee, maligsam k J :■ tion which owek its paternity to tne Oain-rtke malice of Senator Morton. — Col. Time*. Clean I'arming We heartily endorse the following hv a cor respondent of Coleman’s Rural World: Nothing should he grown or suffered to grow on a farm that cannot he converted into money. Weeds and briars, therefore, should not be per mitted to grow, for there is no money value in them, therefore they are a nuisance. A crop of weeds, permitted to go to seed, will exhaust the soil as much as a crop of grass or grain, which have a money value. It is amusing to hear men —farmers—say that they let their fields go to weeds in order to rest their land, and to be plowed under the next season for manure. There can he no objection to the plowing under of green crops as a manure, but the refuse of defunct weeds will add but little to the fertility of the soil. Why not grow grass instead of weeds? With very little trouble land can be seeded down to grass, and used for pasture or hay; this can be converted into milk, beef, wool, mutton or pork, out of which money can he made. The droppings of the stock and the sod full of roots, may be plowed under for an other crop in rotation. Any sytem of farming that will admit any part (say one field) of the farm to remain unproductive for one year can not be considered good fanning. Every acre of tillable land on a farm, if properly managed, will produce something that can be converted into money. Here is where the great secret of good farming lies. Talk about giving land rest! Give it plenty of food and change of occupa tion, and it requires no rest. With a system based on these principles, it will grow stronger and better every year. Tim Indian Famine. —The drought and con sequent famine which visited India last year, was the result of the diversion from its usual course of the southwest monsoon. This wind, upon which Bengal is dependent for its rain fall, or rather the w inds which compose it. Mow from the Arabian sea and from the Bay of Bengal toward a line lying to the south of the Ganges, in which region a depression of the barometer appears in April and becomes well established in June, when the rain sets in. In 1873 this line or "trough" of low barometer did not cover its usual area, but moved considera bly to the northwest, giving Bengal an unusual p revs’! sure of westerly winds, and a consequent decrease m the rainfall. The effect wits height ened by the fact that a considerable portion of the monsoon current from the Bay of Bengal was defected toward the southeast, as is proved br the existence of an area of low barometer in that quarter. Thus the monsoon was partially drained off toward the southest before reaching the interior, and then was turned away from its usual course. The causes of this alteration arc not known, nor can they be discovered until the area of meteorological observation in India is extended. Such an extension is imperatively demanded by the necessities of the country. At present the frequent occurrence of persistent local variations of pressure, which though lo cal affect the annual variation of the monsoon, is known, but there is no means of making such a study of the phenomena as will permit the anticipation and prediction some months in ad vance of the character which the rainy season will bear. India greatly needs this service, and besides its benefit to material interests the reali zation of such an effort w ould )>e a great tri umph for the science — The Galaxy far May. Within two or three months seven vessels, with their entire crews of about ninety men, have been lost from the port of Gloucester, M ass. These vessels were all first-class, and the men active and probably all under forty years of age Gold in Georgia Correspondence New Yoik World J Entering the State north of and along the Air- Line Railroad ami extending in a belt sixty miles wide, nortlre&st and southwest across the State from Nacoochee valley, through the coun ties of < berokee, Cobb, Paulding, Haralson and Carroll, Into Alabama, is a region which has yielded more than $20,000,000 of gold to mere surface washing, for though good veins exist never has a shaft been sunk over one hundred feet deep. All this land was, until 18114, the home of the Cherokee Indians. Traders had learned of the Indians the wealth over which flowed the w aters of the Tallulah, the Toccoa, the Chattooga, the Etowah, and the Amiralola. In one year 3,000 people rushed into the east end of the Cherokee country. Everywhere one travels through this Georgia gold region the tale of the past is told on hun dreds of hillsides, on Uie itanks of many a river, in the sands of many a crystal 'tream, and the recot- ' ay acres that have y elded millions. *1 v ' jitl ” re ot Whip- c ..*■>. iy washed by re corded weight c o ton- of old, and many a nugget never saw its way t the hooks. There never were anywhere richer washings titan Na eoocliee, the old Sixes in Cherokee, and some places in Carroll, and most of these places hav ing rested throughe t year will now yield as well as ever. “Gold grows” say the old peo ple. Noorginized system of mining in first class style has ever been carried out in Georgia. A Northern company erected dams and pipes and flumes in Nacoochee valley and on Yahoo la river before the war, and their works have been a little used since, but preparations are now making to refit and work extensively. This hydraulic system is undout tedly the most prof itable, but it destroys muci good land, not only in the hills, hut by working down sand into the valleys. Veins of great richness are known to exist, but no effort is made to work any in Lumpkin and White counties. In Ilall two companies are at work, and have each a ten stamp mill, while in Cherokee work is done on the old Strickland place, where there is a ten stamp mill. Gold mining in Georgia will pay if worked in two ways. First, in a small way, by one or two men, with pans, riflies, sluice-boxes and rockers. I saw at the Sixes, Cherokee county, a man at work whose outfit would not have cost five dollars. He was not disposed to tell what lie was doing, but it was certain that he had gathered full $l5O in a couple of weeks. Fine gold he did not get, as he did not have any quicksilver, but he had found one nugget weigh ing sixty-six pennyweights. There are dozens of places from Rabun county southwest to the Alabama line where two men, working harmo niously together, can easily make from five to twenty-five dollars per day each, and be also in the finest summer climate in the world. Their outfit need not cost SIOO each, and if they will stick to and eschew whisky and cards, they wiii hare a good balance or credit side oi Their jicc,.ul at uie real's* <-nd. Second, gold mining can be made profitable in Georgia if the machinery (stamps and cop per plate amalgamators) is run by water power, and if the business is conducted economically, as any other business would be. Gold mining has not been profitable to many, because too much worthless patented machinery has been bought at high prices, and because the mines have been worked as a speculation. It is told of one superintendent that, coming to a rich place in a vein, lie actually turned the miners off from it and proved the mine a failure. There are full a hundred gold veins in Georgia to-day, permanent and easily worked, which will aver age more per ton of ore than the best paying vein or mines of California, arid if worked as a business they would pay full SIOO per day profit cn a machinery investment of less than $20,000. In the Nacoochee Valley six genuine diamonds have been found, and on the itacolumite gold lead in Hall county quite a number are claimed to have been found and lost, but it is probable all were not diamonds. Some, however, wee genuine. With all its wealth—and gold is but a small part—this region along and north of the Air-Line road, chiefly, we may say, between the Chattahoochee and the Etowah, has a climate as healthy as any on earth, dry, clear air and freestone water; also a soil everywhere good and astonishingly rich in the valleys, with a primi tive tree-growth of hickories, oaks and walnuts, attractive to the settler or the manufacturer. 11. E. C. The co-education of the sexes, a matter that has of late years attracted a large share of at tention from persons interested in institutions of learning and the cause of education gencrallv, seems to have been tested with very satisfacto ry results at the University of Wooster, a Pres byterian institution and the leading one of that denomination in the West. A Wooster corres pondent of the Cincinuatti Gazette, in a rec ent letter, says: The much vexed co-education theory has been pretty thoroughly tested here. The doors of the institution were thrown open the first year to young ladies, and now there are fifty in attendance upon recitations, while those of the hirsute persuasion number one hundred and seventy-five. A member of the faculty tells me that both sexes are about equally matched as students. In last year's class there was only one lady member—the first one graduated—and she stood third in the matter of grades, while this year the four ladies in the senior class will probably get speeches at the Commencement, at the exclusion of a dozen or more young men. In order to do this their average grade through out the four year's course must be above 90, the highest being 100. In the lower classes also the girls stand high. As regards the contact of the two sexes in the class room, only the best re sults have followed. The recitations have been excellent, and the social intercourse of the stu dents of the most pleasant nature. The young ladies have a study-room to themselves, and come and go among their brother students with out either exciting comment or meeting with in sult. Indeed, the highest honor prevails among "the boys" in this respect, there never having been yet a case of rudeness on their part toward their fair companions in arms. In a murder trial at Bangor. Maine, the other day, the skull of the victim was brought into court, where the accused caused a profound sen sation by taking it into his hands, and moral izing thus: “This skull had a tongue once! I wish it had one no%v ! for. if it could speak, it would tell a different story from what some of these witnesses told. It would say I never so much as injured a hair of his head, by any word or anv deed of mine.” FORSYTH. GEORGIA. TUESDAY MoRXiXG APRIL 27, isr.y Conflagration. Probable Incendiarism and Trion Factory in Ashes. The startling and painful news was received in Rome last Sunday evening that Trion Fac tory was burned the night before. The follow ing are all the particulars that seem to be relia ble, that we have been able to obtain: 1 he fire was discovered and an alarm given about 8j o'clock on Saturday night. The watchman had just completed his round through the building and when tire alarm was given he was eating his stq \ er in the basement. The fire originated in the pick-room, which was in the third or fourth story, the same room where a fire broke out alwnit a year ago. The factory was svpplied with complete ar rangeraents to extinguish fire, having writer pipes with hose attachments in every room,and the supply pump was kept at work night and day. As soon as possible after the fire was dis covered an effort was made to turn the water on in the pick-room, but there was no water there, and to their great astonishment it was as certained that the water in the “ race” had been cut off. The head of the race is nearly a half mile from the factory. Hands were imme diately sent there who found the “gate" closed. They raised the gate and returned. The water works in the factory then worked admirably for a short time, when the water ceased to flow again and it was discovered that there was again no water in the race. Hands were again sent to the gate which was again closed, it was opened and they soon had a supply of water at the factory until it was cut off the third time. After this a guard was placed at the gate and there was no other interruption in the flow of water. But during all this time the fire was spreading fearfully, and now had got complete control of the building, so that it was impossi ble to extinguish it, and very soon the entire building, with all its valuable machinery was one vast sheet of flames. The origin of the fire is a mystery; but we are told that it would have been easy for a man to ascend a ladder that was standing on the hack side cf the fac tory and extending into the pick-room and throw a slow-match into the loose cotton there. This chance, and the fact that the water was three times cut off at the head of the “ race,” indicates very clearly that it was the work of incendiaries. We are told the property was insured in several companies, amounting in all to $50,000. The factory was owned equally by Judge Spencer Marsh, of La Fayette, and A. P. Allgood. They still have on hand about 1,500 bales of cotton and plenty of assets to enable them to go to work at once and build a new factor}', and we are told that Judge All good, with characteristic energy, stated on Sunday that he should commence on Monday morning making preparations for rebuilding. This factory was one of the best in the South and its destruction is a great calamity, that will be felt, not alone by the owners and two or three hundred hands that are turned otj * >■ ploymviv-. but al s o bt•* • ii.k--- ~ ..V.hVv of two or three counties. Anew pick room lined with zinc and fire proof had just been completed and one picking machine moved into it. This room still stands uninjured by the fire.

Ik Grant is drinking whisky in the degree and amount that some of the Washington let ter-writers indicate, it will not take the good man long to get to the end of his tether. What ever may be said against whisky, there is one true thing that may be alledged in its behalf, so-wit: that it is no respecter of persons. Who ever knocks.cold spirits hard—whether prince, president, priest or peasant—will have to an swer for it as sure as lightning. We have known a great many men in various capacities as to strength and endurance, and of diversified mental gifts and powers; but we never knew anybody, and never expect to know anybody, who could get the best of whisky in the long run. Sometimes a fellow of unusual bottom appears to be getting away with John Barley corn very handsomely and creditably; hut old John comes smiling to the front every time, as he did in the days when the three kings of the east swore that he should die, and he lays out the braggarts and toss-pots who vainly imag ined they had him at a disadvantage. There fore, we argue, if Grant is really drinking as the newspaper correspondents say (and they some times do tell the truth), he will soon repose with the tips of his toes and the end of his il luminated nose turned up to the roots of the daisies. It will be a good thing for the country, and may successfully answer that puzzling co nundrum which has so long vexed the readers of this paper as to what was the thing that killed a king and drove a wise man mad. Intrepid Jews. — Since the time of Daniel, braving the den of lions to which despotism had fWimed him for his religion, and his three friends fearlessly encountering the seven fold heated furnace, conscientious Jews have ever been noted for their invincible intrepidity and perseverance, though not for similar manifesta tions of divine favorand protection. On a late occasion the Emperor of Russia was reviewing his fleet, when two sailors particularly attracted his attention, both by the precision with which they performed several difficult manoeuvres and by tlie agility and daring which they displayed. The Emperor was so much pleased that he im mediately promoted one to be a captain, the other he appointed lieutenant on the spot. The men, however were Jews, and there is a ukase forbidding Jews to wear an epaulet. The ad miral of the fleet, who stood by, knowing that they were Jews, stated the difficulty to His Im perial Majesty. "Pshaw,” cried the Emperor, "that does not signify in the least —they shall immediately embrace the Greek religion of eourie." When this determination was commu nicated to the two young men, knowing that re monstrance would be in vain, they requested the Emperor permission to exhibit still more of their manoeuvres, as he had not seen they all can do. This being granted, they ascended the top mast, embraced, and. locked in each other’s, arms, threw themselves into the sea and disap peared forever. Truth and Falsehood. —Hon. B H.

On a fine summer day an nr expected shower drove two or three little par c. into a cottage for temporary shelter. A Bibb and boquet of flowers lay upon the table A c irewd looking man, one of the company, approached the ta ble. He was an infidel. He or neu the Bible, then closed it again with a nvl that was min gled with derision. He then to*k up the bo quet, “ This suits me best,” said he, with an exultant air, “ for it has no my t-.-ry; 1 can un derstand it. Its colors ar; f;.

A nnsr> succeeded; but it wa roken by an old gentleman, wiiose * >•. i nicroy loving face was grateful to V k upon, and whose gray hair entitled h : ’*> respect. He had heard the observation infidel and felt anxious to counterac ti! - cnees. Ad vancing to the table, he a so Uok ap the boquet, “ How beautious in His gifts, ’ said he,” “is the father of mercies!

These things are l.m steres; but if we wait until we can comprehend them the flowers will fade away, for their life is short. And why should we,” said he, putting down the boquet and taking up the Bible, “ why should we not use the Word of God in the same way? Mysteries it has, which its A1 nighty Author alone can explain. But shall we waste our short lives in brooding over them, and neg lect the greater part, which is quite plain, and overlook the manifold mercies it proffers for cur acceptance ? Let us leave, then, all myste ries, both of nature and grace,till it shall please God to unravel them to our understanding; and in the meantime let us, while rejoicing that God’s works and Word both show that he is ‘ the Wonderful,’ gratefully place the flowers of the boquet in our bosoms, and the gracious consolation of the Bible in our hearts.” An Italian Sunset. —A correspondent of the Hartford Times writes from Italy: “ Last night we were driving slowly home, laden with flowers, after a warm, golden afternoon, when the air about us became suddenly glorified, and looking hack we saw the most wonderful sun set of our lives. Driving to a commanding point we gazed.at the marvelous scene, the setting sun and dazzling western clouds being only a part of it. The hills around Florence on every side were bathed in purple light, soft and tender, and exquisite as a dream, while the sky above, after the first blaze of western glory, was aglow with rosy light that flooded the heavens and rolled in billows, and even seemed to touch our cheeks in its omnipresence. At home I have seen equally .brilliant displays in the west; they have seemed like a far-off won der in which I had no part —a panorama to be admired at a distance. Here the whole world seemed tremulous with color, sky and earth glowed together, as it was near us; we were in it. The very air we breathed was rosy red,and overall there was a softness, a poetry of color, an ecstaoy of ill urn ination* perfectly indescriba ble, throwing such a clamour over u that when at last the light died out of everything we awak ened as from a trance, and, breaking the long silence, exclaimed, • So this Ran Italian sunset! Well, I shall always feel that I have been in one!’” A gentleman owned a farm in New Jersey. It had been long in the family. Embarrass ments compelled him to sel!, and the farm was put up at auction. He felt so had about the sale that he could not attend it, but sent over his head servant On his return the master said, "Well, John, was the farm sold?” "Yes, sir,” "Did it sell well?” "It went very low.” "Who bought it?” "I did.” "You, John? Where did you get your money?” "I laid up my wages since 1 worked for you.” “Well, John, I’ll tell you what I will do. As soon as vou get the title to your property I’ll come and work for you and buy the farm back.” One of the late New 'I ork illustrated hu morous papers has an irresistible cut. This is the scene : An old gentleman Is walking in his garden. Presently the milkman comes a.ong outside the high garden wall, and gives his cus tomary yell. Old gentleman hears something, but being very deaf is unable to make out just W'hat is wanted; so he puts his ear trumpet in place, and elevating the bell end of it over the edge of the wall exclaims: "Here!” Milkman takes it for a dish, empties the quart of milk into the old gentleman's ear, and goes on about his business.
