The Crop* in Cicori;iit
For the l*encfii of our readers we glean the
following interesting and important facts rela
te. to the growing crops in Georgia, from the
May official report of Hon: T. P. Janes, Com
missioner of Agriculture:
In thejsvnopsis, made up from the returns of
leading agriculturists in one hundred and
eleven counties, a complete croup-map of toe
State is placed under the eye, and information
conveyed unattainable from any other possible
®ottrre.
In this connection we desire to state that the
labors of our excellent Commissioner of Agri
culture, have already proven themselves to be
of inestimable value to the interests of our
Commonwealth, in the consolidation of all im
portant agricultural statistics, and the elucida
tion of scientific principles, whose clearer com
prehension by our fanners and planters, must
lead to the most gratifying practical results.
Commissioner Janes has an able coadjutor in
the person of our friend, J. llenjy Smith, Esq.
who, in his present sphere, has a fair field for
the exercise of his skill and indomitable in
dustry.
From a general comparison of the returns of
the one hundred and eleven counties that have
reported the following interesting information
is gleaned:
Cohn —There are 7 per cent, more acres
planted in corn this year than last, or 152,916
acres more than last year. There is also an
increase of 6 per cent, in the amount of fertil
izers used on com ; 68 per cent, of these com
post. In preparation and time of planting
there is a decrease of 3 per cent. A lare mar
gin from the middle and lower counties report
the best distance for corn 4x5, 3x7 or 3x6—the
upper counties 3x4, 3x5 and 4x4.
Oats —There is an increase of 12 per cent in
the number of acres sown 'in oats, or 55,215
acres more than last year. 46 percent of these
were sown in the fall, and 21 per cent fertilized
The condition of the crop May 15th, through
out the State, was 1 per cent, above an aver
age. A large majority who report “best va
riety, give the preference to the “rust proof,”
many prefer the “winter grazing,” while quite
it number prefer what they call the “yellow,”
which may mean either of the above. A large
majority sow one bushel of seed per acre,some
only one-half bushel, and others as much as
three bushels.
Wheat. —The acreage in wheat is 14 per
cent, or 50,239 acres more than last year; five
per cent, more fertilizers used on it, and the
condition of the crop May 15, 1 per cent above
an average. The varieties principally recom
mend are the Tappahannock, Early Red, or
lied May in the middle and lower counties,and
the Tappahannock and the spring varieties in
the northern counties. A large majority sow
one bushel per acre, while many sow only one
half or three-fourths that quantity. A few
sov 7 more than one bushel.
—The acreage iu clover is 7 per cent
greater than last year, while its condition May
ID was one per below an average. Cor
respondents from the’ mkhlle counties report it
best to sow alone, either in fa ll or spring. In
the middle counties it is so ' vn e ‘ tker a i° ne or
with small grain, in spring p.^ucipally; but
some say in September. An inerea orl b'
1 per cent, in grasses is reported. Correspon
dents almost unanimously recommend the sow
ing of grass seeds alone, either in the fall or
spring.
Cotton —There is 5 per cent or 80,150 acres
less cotton planted this year than last. Prepa
ration of the soil is reported only two-thirds of
1 pet cent, inferior to last year, while 41 per
cent, more fertililers are used, 52 per cent of
which is compost.
I’he condition of the crop May 15, generally
about two weeks late, and 3 per cent below an
average.
Sugar Cane —Acreage 4 per cent, decrease;
condition May 15, 6 per cent below an average;
and the condition of seed cane, when planted,
14 1-2 wer cent, below last year.
SoßGin m —Acreage 33.1 per cent, increase ;
while the condition, May 15, was 41 per reiit.
below an average.
Ground Peas —Acreage 4 per cent greater
than last year. Condition, May 15, 2 per cent,
below an average.
Mellons —2 3-4 per cent more planted.
Condition, May 15th, 6.1 per cent below an
average. Varieties generally recommended,
“Rattlesnake,” "Mountain Sprout,” "Mountain
Sweet"
Peaches— l $ per cent below an average.
Nearly all killed in some parts of North Geor
gia , generally a full crop in the middle and
lower counties.
Arri.Es—l3 2 3 per cent below an average.
Peaks-l 2-3 per cent below an average.
Suvli. Fruit—Seven per cent below an
average.
Garden Products —sl per cent, below an
average.
Kick—There is an increase of 12 per cent,
in the acreage in rice, while the condition. May
loth, was 3-} percent below an average.
Sheet —The number of sheep is reported as
two-thirds of 1 per cent less than last year. Tlic
number of lambs 14 percent less, and the wool
crop 4 per cent less. The Merino is generally
reported best for wool, and the Southdown for
mutton, except in some parts of upper Georgia
where the Cotswold is recommended for both.
The common report, however, is that only the
native sheep are raised, the risk from dogs be
ing too great to incur the expense of introduc
ing the improved breeds.
The condition of work stock is reported 31
per cent better than last year. The pork pros
pect 2 per cent less, in consequence of the rav
ages of cholera in many sections of the State.
The reports show that 10 per cent of all the
stock in the State died during the last wiuter
and spring.
It is gratifying to state that 831 per cent of
lue corn being fed in the State is home raised.

LATER.
Panama, June 4. —The royal mail steamship
Ilulize which arrived at Aspinwall to-day from
Savinillo, brings the following particulars,pub
lished in an extra of Barranqiulla Shipping
List, May 29th, of a terrible earthquake in the
Andes. The steamer Isabel, which arrived
yesterday from the interior, neared our city
with her flag at half mast, showing that she
was the bearer of unwelcome fws, and while
there were various conjectures as to its import,
none had for a moment pictured the possible
magnitude of the awful calamity which had
taken place. The information which has reach
ed us on the snbject is contained in a letter
dated Salazor, seven leagues from Cucuta, on
the 19th of the present month, from which we
extract and translate the following : At 11:10
a. m., yesterday, the 18th, a severe earthquake
visited this city and region. In this city a large
part of a church fell, several houses were de
stroyed and some people killed. The city of
Cucuta is entirely destroyed, only a few fam
ilies being saved. The German drug store was
set on fire by a ball of fire which was thrown
out of a volcana which is constantly belching
out lava. This volcano has opened itselt in
front of Santiago, in a ridge called El-Alto de
Ea-Giraclia. San Cayetano was destroyed,and
Santiago in large part. In Gramalote there
was great destruction. Arboleda, Cucutilla
and San Christobol are nearly destroyed, prin
cipally the four last. The population in these
towns is estimated by persons well acquainted
in that region, more or less, as follows;
San Cayetona 4,000, Santiago 2,000, Grame
lote 3,000, Arboleda 5,000, Cocatillo 5,000, San
Cristobal 15,000.
The section of country above referred to em
braces regions around about where Columbia
and Venezuela join the Columbian portion,
embracing the State of Satauder. It is, in some
respects, the most productive part of this tße
public, and the coffee of this section is famous
all the world over. One of the destroyed ci
ties, San Jose de Cucuta, the city of the most
importance of any in that section, was situated
upon the boundary of the Republic, and was
founded by Juan de Marten in 1534. It was a
port of entry, if an inland town can be called
a port, and here was established the custom
house. The population of the city at the time
of the disaster is estimated at about 18,000. It
had ala rge commercial business, and was a
great depot for coffee and cocoa for shipment
either through the Venezuelan ports or down
the Magdalena to this city.
The shock was felt sharply in Bogota and
adjoining sections. A gentleman who was at
the time in Facatabiva, says that the movement
lasted for three-quarters of a minute. It was
slightly felt in Barranquilla.
A Bankrupt City.—A project has been
brought forward in New Orleans to liquidate
the bonded debt of that city by a sort of lottery
arrangement known as the “premium bond”
plan. Strange to say, remarks the Charleston
News and Courier, the scheme has received the
approval of the City Council and of a large
number of presidents of local banks and insu
rance companies winch are holders of the
bontfa. A atatemeut which was made at a
meeting cf these officers last week affords rea
sons, on pruAenlud grounds, for their assent to
almost any which gives a promise of
securing them again'* I° 9S - Thus the liabilities
and assets of the city on May 15, 1875, were
given as follows:

ASSETS.

Back taxes due eeuersi lund.... 1 119,000
Total assets f 1,468,000
This yearly budget exhibits a deficit of near
ly half a million dollars.
No objection to the plan lias been raised by
the bondholders who regarded it as placing
them in a much better position, while it will
reduce the taxes for the first year to the peo
ple of the cit v $1,200,000; $1,100,000 the sec
ond year, ami so* on down to the end of fifty
years, as the pros.V-Rty ef the city and ability
to pay taxes is reeo .'ered.
The only point on v/Uick there seemed to be
a difference of opinion w'as tlic length of time
which the bonds were to .rim, come favoring
forty instead of fifty years its originally pro
posed. As the change would involve the pay
ment of $700,000 instead of $300,000 the' first
year by the city, it was decided to be impra.'hi
cable. A curious point which received atten
tendon was the question whether the proposed
plan would interfere with the rights of the
Louisiana Lottery Company. The City Attor
ney gave an oflicial opinion that it would not
Hard 1 i.ues. —The New York Herald winds
up a long editorial with these consoling reflec
tions : “Our condition just now is that of a
man who has a handsome income and lives in
a small house. Such a man has not long to
wait before he is master of the situation. He
is already prosperous. And so is the country
at the present moment It is substantially in a
sound condition. It could bear losses to-day
far better than three years ago. It is richer
now than it has been since 1861. A bad crop
would distress us less this year than would have
done in 1871 or 1872 .\ e have put a stop to
this outgo, and our income is so great that onlv
prudent economy and sound business manage
ment are needed to bring us back to a welcome
prosperity. It will be some years before we
are ready to enter on another career of wild
speculation, and those who understand by pros
perity notions of living at the expense of oth
ers will have to wait a while. For them the
times will continue to be hard ; but for legiti
mate industry the present promises to be the
last hard year, and if we could be sure of cer
tain wholesome and needed reforms in the gov
ernment, which would give rest and good gov
ernment to the Sooth and a sound currencv to
the nation, our period of hard times would be
substantially at an end "

‘‘Once."
“Doyou ever attend the theatre?” said a
young man to a blue-eyed maiden, who living
on his orm as they promenaded the streets of
New York one mild evening in October The
girl’s cheeks crimsoned as she answered the in
terrogatory in the negative, and added :
“My mother has taught me from childhood
that is is wrong to attend such places.”
“ But your mother formed, perhrps, improp
er prejudice, from exaggerated accounts given
by others; for I have often heard her say 9lie
never attended one in her life.”
He spoke eloquently of the drama, comedy
and tragedy, and dwelt with pathos on the im
portant lesson there to be learned of human
nature.
“ Go with me once,” said he, “ and judge fer
yourself.”
Persuasion and curiosity triumphed over ma
ternal precept and example, and she hesita
tingly replied:
T 1 go but once.’
She went; and in that theatre a charm came
over her like that which the serpent sent forth
from his dove-like eye. She went again and
again, and from the house of mirth and laugh
ter jhe was led to one from the portals of which
she never returned.
Around a centre table, where an astral lamp
was shedding its mild light, sat three girls, one
holding in her hand a pack of cards. At the
back of her chair stood a young man who for
years had successfully resisted every attempt
made by his companions to induce him to learn
the character of cards.
‘Come,’ said she,’ ‘we want one to make out
our game. Play with us once if you never
play again.’
Her eye, cheek and lip conspired to form an
elegant battery which sent forth its attack up
on the fortress of good resolution in which he
had long stood secure, until it fell like uie walls
of an ancient city when jarred by the fearful
battering. He learned the cards and played.
A few weeks afterward I was passing his door
at a late hour, and a candle was shedding its
dim light through the window. Since that
time I have looked from my chamber nearly
every hour of the night, from the close of day
until the early morn, and seen the light faintly
struggling through the curtain that screened
the inmates of the room from every eye save
His who seeth alike in darkness and noonday.
Gambling brought with it disease, and death
came just as he numbered the half of his three
score years and ten. During his last hours I
was sitting by his bedside, when he fixed on
me a look I shall never forget, and bade me
listen to his dying words :
‘ I might have been a different man from
what I am; but it is now too late lam con
vinced that there is a state of being beyond
the grave ; and when I think of the retribution
which awaits me in another world, I feel a
horror which I am inadequate to describe.’
These were among the last words he ever ut
tered.
The Junior class ol a Southern college bad
assembled in a student’s room to spend the
night in riot and debauch. Amid the crowd
there was one who had never recited a bad les
son since his matriculation. In his studies he
was “ head and shoulders” above the class.
That day he had failed. A shade of the deep
est gloom came over him, and lie was melan
ancholy. But the wine and jest passed around
while he felt like Lucifer in Eden, while all
wns joy and gladness around him Said a
classmate :
‘ Come, Bob, quaff this bumper, and it
will make you feel as bright as a hermit’s
lamp.’
The tempter whispered to him, ‘ Drink once
and forget the past.’ A powerful struggle
seemed going on in his mind for a moment;
but at last he shook his head and gave vent to
a flood of tears. That boy never drank, not
even once. He took the valedictory, and is
now president of a college.
Once! O, on this slender point hath turned
for weal or woe the destiny of a deathless spirit.
Caesar paused but once on the banks of the
Rubicon, but it was a pause like that which
nature makes when gathering her elements for
the dread tornado. Eve ate the forbidden
fruit but once, and her countless posterity have
felt the fearful consequences resulting from so
rash an act.

Keep Out of Debt.— We clip the following
“chunk of wisdom” from an exeliange, and
offer it to our readers as an antidote for “hard

is, no difference how cheap you are offered an
article, no difference how u;uch you really think
you need it —keep out of debt—wait until you
have the money in your pocket—grin and liear
it—get up early and work late —save every five
cents and get ahead in the world, and then
yit’i are independent. When you are in debt
you are not y.onr own master—you belong in

“He.”—Highlanders have the hab'tf,
bilking their English, such as it Is, of in'terjec
ting the personal pronoun “he” where not re
quired, such as, “The King he has come” instead
of “The King has come." Often in consequence
a sentence or an expression is rendered suffi
ciently ludicrous, as the sequel will show : A
gentleman says he has had the pleasure of lis
tening to a clever man, the Rev. Mr. . (let
his locality be a secret,) and recently l e began
his discourse thus: “My friends, you will find
the subject of discourse this morning in the
First Epistle General of the Apostle Peter,
chapter v., and verseS, in the words, The Dev
il he goeth about like a roaring lion, seeking
whom lie may devour.’ Now', mv friends, w ith
your leave, we will divide the subject Into four
heads: Firstly, we shall endeavor to ascNctaht

into his geographical position nameiv. Where I
the Devil he was. And Where the‘Devil ha 1
was going. Thirdly. v and 1 Lis is of a personal !

Fruits of Chicago Sfkculation. —The in
terior papers announce failures among country
operators in the late attempt to corner the
wheat market at Chicago. Its victims are
found all the way from the Mississippi as far
East as this State, among whom is Mr. Wash
burne, of Rome, N. Y., wdio has failed recently
in consequence of “bulling” wheat. No sooner
has the receding wave of the wheat specula
tion disappeared than another comes in from
the same source—Chicago—carrying before it
large dealers in provisions in both that and
this market, while the number of smaller
wrecks lias not yet been computed. It is safe
to expect to hear of such things for some time
to come, and that they will extend as far as
did the wheat failures, as everybody, from the
farthest hog producting section to the seaboard,
and even across the Atlantic, seems to have
been “bulling” hog products for many months.
Two failures occurred here last week, and on
Thursday some half a dozen were reported at
Chicago, some of w-hotn were carrying for
country “bulls,” who could not or w r ere not
able to get their margins into Chicago as fast
as the market declined. Tints appears the mil
lions of fictitious wealth that the West dreamed
of making on the hog aud wheat crops. These
are but some of the fruits of the great Chicago
speculation, which will stand anjofig the most
formidable efforts and failures to divert the
trade from its legitimate course that can be
found in commercial history. It was a case of
great expectations, of making Chicago the ex
port market for the products of the West, and
the great source of the w orld’s supply of bread
stuffs and provisions. Had that place been a
seaboard city, or even an inland city with am
ple water routes to the ocean, there would
have been some hopes of success for the am
bitious effort. But instead of this, it is 1,000
miles inland, and most of its products, there
fore must be sent by rail to the seaboard, while
balance must go by water routes that do not
admit of sea-going vessels of any considerable
touaga, That the scheme should have resulted
other than disastrously should occasion no sur
prise. It was the inevitable effect of a well de
fined ai!. and understood cause.— X. T. Bul
