The author of tho Irish Melodies says: “The bee thro’ many a garden loves, Amt hums the lay of courtship o’er. Bill, when he finds the flower ho loves, JJo settles there, and hums no more.” Wo frequently roeeivo contributions from writers, who imagine themselves to be poets. To them wo would com mend the following paragraph from Butler’s Hudibras: “The poet is born, not made; nature, not study, must form the poet, is a sentence of as great truth as antiquity it being most certain that fill tho acquired learning imaginable is unsufficiont to complete a poet, with out a natural genius and propensity to so noble and sublime an art. And we may, without offense, observe that many very learned men, who have been ambitious to be thought poets, have only rendered themsolves rediculous.’’ Council Proceedings.

Cleveland, Ga., Feb. 7th, 18# Editors Eagle :—I cant promise you anything very interesting this week— in fact, I don’t bind myself to write any very glowing letters, for several reasons—one is, this is not a place for a writer to display his talent for brill iant letter-wriiing; and another very prominent reason is, I am doubtful of having the power to fascinate and inter est, even if I was better situated for it. ! On Wednesday the posters announc ed, in different places in our village, that on Friday night there would be a “grand concert’’ on the Uropean plan. Our people are a little curious, and went to see the concert. I think I may say that One and all are fully satisfied. There is a petition going the rounds requesting our Ordinary not to grant license for retailing spirituous liquors. It is being pretty generally signed. We have two bar-rooms in town, and I am sorry to say, both seem to be well patronized. We fully endorso all you say in vin dication of our present Governor. ’Tis true he has made some mistakes, but whore is the man that don’t make mis takes. While we say nothing against the other aspirants, still if Gov. Smith is a candidate, I think Whito county will be perfectly willing to try him again, in spite of all that his enemies will say about tho State Treasury, third term, etc. It only shows that he is in their way—Col. Hardeman is also quite popular in this county. Wo look upon him as a strong friond of this moun tain section. The mining interests in this county are on the “look up." Capt. R. R. As bury, Col. N. H. Hand and Col. Wil cox are now constructing a canal about six miles long, to convey the waters of Town creek, upon what is known as the famous “Loud Mine,” about five miles west of Cleveland, which mine is said to be immensely rich in gold.— The canal will be completed about the first of March next, and work for gold will lie commenced immediately. Preparations aro now on font to com mence work on the noted Lewis and Sprague mines, with every prospect of splendid success. The Logan & Dean, alias, the Nacoo- Mining Company, is now and has been for tho past four years, in success ful operation. At some future time I will write you more fully concerning tho rich mines of this section. Vivace. Items from Head of Tennessee. Mrs. Joseph Happor died Jan. 25th, leaving a husband and large family of children. Mr. E. Sitton lias purchased a Carder and is making preparations to build a house for it, with tho expectation of getting it into operation in tho spridff!* Mr. S. J. Berrong, of Towns .county, has ceremoniously escorted Miss N. C. Dillard, of Head of Tennessee, away to his home. The knot was tiod by Rev. J. S. Burton on tho* evening of Jan uary 27th. Mr. R. B. Ritchie raisod, the past, summer, on one and a lialf acros of now ground land, one hundred and twonty-fivo bushels of corn. Thero was not a particle of manure applied, nor a plow put into it; tho work being done with a hoe only; while tho corn was planted by jobbing holes iu the ground with a handspike. “Dotter.” Acts passed by tho General Assem bly, and which have been approved by the Governor: To amend tho charter of the Ilising Fawn Iron Company.

To reliovo- Gilmer county of her board of commissioners of roads and revenues. To give tho treasurer of Richmond county a salary, etc. To change line between Clinch and Coffee counties. To exempt from process of garnish ment the wages of journeymen, me chanics and day laborers. Section 1. Bo it enacted by the Gen eral Assembly of tho State of Georgia, That from and after the passago of this act, all journeymen, mechanics and day laborers shall be exempt from the pro cess and liabilities of garnishment on their daily, weekly or monthly wages, whether in tho hands of their employ ers or others. Provided, this act shall in no wise affect or operate upon con tracts made prior to the passage of the same. Sec. 2. Repeals conflicting laws. Approved, February 7, 187(1. Wo have received a copy of the Daily Free Press, published in Savan nah, Ga., by R. M. Orme. The Editor says: “We see a great future for our State; and as foreign capital is keeping investments in the South and West, we are desirous of keeping our State prominently before the eye of the cap italist. Ho who blows liis born the loudest will be heard the farthest; lie who is enthusiastic in an enterprise, will impart enthusiasm to others.” Special Notice. H. Atkins & Cos. are receiving large quantities of Bradley fertilizer, giving cotton option 15 cents per pound. These guanos are the best on the market, having beon largely used in this country, and found to be the best and cheapost for composting. They are prepared to add freights on notes. We went round a lady in the road the other day who weighed 225 pounds.—Cherokee Georgian. How ? With your arms ? Prepare Your Own Fertilizers, Gainesville, Ga., February, 4, 1876.4 Editors Eagle: I fiud that a Mr, Newman and Dr. Pendleton are at variance about what it is possible for the farmer to do in the of preparing his own fertilizers. I do no propose to come to the rescue of eithei oi these gentlemen, but I will, with your leave, lay before the readers of the Eagle some facts that may enable the farmer to know what he has and what he can do with what he has. First—the ashes from evory cord of mixed wood consumed on the glace, whether in tko' house St in the clearing, is worth as a fertilizer $1 60. Most farmersdeonsume one cord j/er week on an average during,the year. There is u value of 883.26. Every borse or mule ki 11- make 4,000 pounds of solid and liquid ma- nure, containing elements worth, at the btau da: I prices, 819.73. A farmer with two horses wc lid then have in his horse manure $39.86. Allowing that one-third of this would be : dropped where it could not bo saved,lie wojild still have $26.42 worth of manure. Now sup pose he adds to this hprso manure 1,000 lbs. of a suitable phosphatic preparation at a cost of say $25.00, (an outside figure,) be wm have then in his manure thus made a value of $51.42. This 'would probably weigh 4,000 podnds. In addition to this he probably bus os many as four head of cattle. Their manure all told would amount to 8,000 pounds, exclu sive of the liquid manure or uriue. Ho can save from his chicken house nnd night soil 100 pounds more; all of which he can add to the foregoing amount. The money value of which would be about $lO, and his pile would weigh somo 12,400 pounds. In addition to tho above he has or can have 950 gallons ofuri ne, worth some sls. Then iu addition he would have 200 gallons of horse urine, worth $9.72; anil the aggregate values amounts to $116,11. But wo must not forgot the Thj*gvg put down in tho outset at $83.20, aiufwotffftv have $199.34. This is tho value of what W0 1 ' bo hunbandod on a farm worrit by two .liorsos, on which therehouse and in the fields consumexf fifty-two cords of wood. But I have said nothing of tho cotton seed. There should bo six bales of cotton, tho seed of which would be 6,000 pounds, and the agri cultural value of tho elements of this would not bo less than S2l, making a total of somo two hundred and twenty-one dollars. Of this the farmer will have purchased only $25 worth. These calculations are not made on the basis of tire bulk, but on the basis of the actual value of tho elemeuts entering into the chemi cal constitution of the substances f named above. These substances have not’boon hus- utilized by the farmer as they should have been. Tho farmer has been buy ing what he had at homo -tri-wit: ammonia and potash. While it may bo trno tiiat com- meroial fertilizers can be made to pay, it is equally true that thero is more eeonomy in a judicious husbanding of domestic resources. A word or two in regard to Mr. Newman and Dr. Pendleton. I think they will both agree that the farmor can save a great deal which he does not save, and that the value of what he does save wouid bo greatly enhanced by a mixture with it of a well propared phos phatie compound. Tho young mep of tho country aro greatly at fault in not studying chemistry. Tho idea seems to he that -it is beyond their reach. Thoir main business is to effect chemical changes, and they make no effort to gain in formation in regard to those changes. Wit nessing a few experiments and a careful study of any of the elementary works on chemistry would ennblo them to read with groat profit the works of Liebig, Way, Soofferu, Dumas, Campbell aud Johnson. It is painful to wit ness the waste that is constantly oecmTinr a iiHl- 5w.-, 4^- take place in connection with agricultural pursuits. Robert Logan. F. 8. I find on reviewing what I have writ ten, that I have counted tho urine of tho horses twice. $9.72 should be substraotod from the final estimate. Don’t Kegaul it as a CatcKi-pcnny. Bbajifiei.d’s Female. Reoulatok,— We havo often read in the newspapers of tho grand suc cess of modica! compounds put up at the North and elsewhere. Many of those medi oines have had their day, and wo hear no more of them. Their proprietors havo made fortunes, not so much from the curative pow. ors and virtues of their mixl;iros, as from the notoriety given thorn by advertising, by which people were made to behove all the good that was said of them. A preparation is now’ bofore tho public, which is becoming very popular, and is known ns Uradfiold’s Female Regulator, put up by L. H. Bradfleld, of Atlanta, Ga., at $1.50 per bottle. Such is its curative virtues, that it has gained wide-spread popularity all over the country where it has been made known, and it is being introduced every where. Wo are informed that immense quan tities of this medicine are being sold in all sections of the South and Southwest, especial ly in tho city of New Orleans and in Texas. This much we say in justice to its proprie tor, who is a gentleman of integrity, and who would not engage in the manufacture and sale of a humbug.—LaGrange Reporter. Two Miles Before Breakfast. In a neighboring city in Georgia, there is a marriod woman, who, after her third confine ment, had ulceration, with all its repulsive symptoms. She tried in vain all the nostrums; her husband carried her to all tho famous min eral springs, went with her to Philadelphia, New York and other places, to consult emi nent obstericiaus, to no purpose. After the use of the fifth bottle of Regulator, she has been fully restored to her former health and happiness, and is now tho joy of the house hold—is able to walk two miles before break fast. feb4-lm Don’t Ba thr ttucstion. II is on infallible sign that, a cause is weak when its claims arc sought to bo established by mere bold assertion without argument or substantial proof. Dr. 'l'utt asserts that his Hair Dye is the best, and lio adduces un doubted' evidence to substantiate tho truth of tho assertion. HEAD WHAT EXPEIITS SAY. New Obleans, May 10, 1871. De. Tutt -Dear Sir: Wo, tho undersignod, wish lo inform you that we have tried your Hair Dye, and find it to be the best wo have ever used. For its natural black color, it far excels all other dyes. Our customers will havo no other. Since we began its uso, our business in the dyeing department has rapidly increased We tliink it a great triumph. Anthony ITaas, Chaht.es Horn, % Barbers, No. 6 N. Royal Street,. Sv<! Money mid IlenttlL The repntatiou ol' the Wilson Shuttle Sew ing Machine is so thoroughly established that no word in its commendation is necessary. The plan adopted by the manufacturers of this famous machine of placing their prices so low as to come within the reach of the poorer classes, certainly entitles them to the gratitude of those who are really most in need of such au article. Machines will bo delivered at any railroad station in this comity, free of transportation charges, if ordered through the company’s branch house, at Messrs. Boone & Rudolph's, Gainesville.

In offering the Eagle to the public in the beginning of tho most important in tho hundred years of the Nation's oxistonco, it is proper to return our profound acknowledgment to its patrons for the confidence and go<xl will which have attended it from He first incep tion to the present year. It is now better prepared than ever to work in the interests of the people of Georgia, and to record tho important ovonte of the day as they transpire, iu all parts of the country. Tho newspapers of this country aro fast superseding the public orators and politicians in shaping the af fairs of the government, because thoy reach thousands of our stalwart population —men, wemon and chil dren—who have become disgnstod with the harangue of designing men, who do not keep, on an averag,one in fifty of their promises. Tho year 1870 will be filled with important evonts, and no family who cares to keep posted can afford to be without at least one newspaper. Wo submit the following points: 1. Congress meets early in January, and thero is no doubt o the fact that it will be the most important ses sion since tho foundation of the Kopublic. 2. The Georgia Legislature meets on the 12th day of January, and the question of a Constitutional Con vention, the dog law, stock law, tne Stato’s in lorso ment on railroad bonds, the Treasury complications, etc., etc., are matters about which the people want to keep posted. 3. Tho Presidential compaign on which we are Just now entering will be tho most important one in tho history of our country. 4. On the 10th of May the great Centennial celobra bration opens in Philadelphia, and will be the grandest exhibition ever witnessed in any country. 5. A Governor of Georgia, all of the House of Rep resentatives, and half of the Senate, are to bo chosen this fall; and with tho number of candidates for Gu bernatorial honors, both Democratic and ltopublican, it is certain tlmt we aro going to have lively times. 6. Congressmen are to bo elected in Georgia again this fall. 7. County officers, from Ordinary to Coroner, are also to be chosen in this Stato. The above is tho bill of faro, and tho Eagle prom ises that its readers shall have the news iu its freshest form, with editorial and epistolary sauce, suitable to each disli served up. And while we propose to keep fully up with the news, wo shall also retain our mis cellaneous selections and agricultural and household departments on the outside of our paper. Politically, The Eagle will continue to act with the Democratic party; but while it does so, it will contend and battle foi the land marks erected by Jefferson, aud will ex pose corruptions, aud fight rings and cliques, let them bo found wherever they may. To Our Old Patrons, wo would say, help us extend ouk circulation ! Let each subscriber interest him or herself in Bonding us a now one, and it will onable us to furnish a paper that shall increase in interest each weok. Cash in Advance. The prico at which we furnish our paper just about covers tho cost of the paper, and the actual labor douo on it; we aro, thoroforo, compelled to establish tho ruloithat we will receive no new subscriptions unless ac companied by the money.

Daring the year 1874 the position of the Tribune as tie “leading American newspaper" has come to be gi no rally recognized. Politically it maintains with ib o and fervor its old Gospel of Freedom and Equality, but maintains its independence of party dictatiru; and has rarely, in its whole history, found its political recommendations so much heeded by both parties, or so thoroughly vindicated bv the people, as during the last twelvemonths. Its bitterest foes, while assail ing it as fiercely as of old on political or other grounds, never now question its pre-eminence as newspaper, it is confessedly tho foremost in the country. It has won tho position, and it means to hold it by tho em ployment of the best ability, by the most watchful, conscientious attention, and by the most lavish ex penditdioof money to procure whatever money w.il buy, in its readers' service. Its exponnitures in this way during the past year were over one million and a half ol dollars. For the results of this outlay it asks from each single subscriber t<> the weekly, two dol lars; from each subscriber in a club of thirty or more, one dollar, and it pays the postage itself. Persons not familiar with tho woekly Trilutuo, or former sub scriber!! who may bo uncertain about its present standing or merits, are invited to take it a short time on trial. In future no extra charge will be made for address ing papers to each member of a club, and postmasters who desire it will receive packages with each paper addressed to its owner at the lowest price- -practi cally a reduction of thirty cents a year from the pre vious lowest club rates. Tho postage on editions of the Tribune are paid by the ofti o without charge to the subscribers. Tho weekly Tribune thus becomes to subscribers in clubs the cheapest,as it lias long been the best paper pub lished. Agents wanted in every town.
