ffaftfeinatnllt gispiticlj. By Gedrgo P. Wood*. UAWKINBVILLR, GA., APRIL 0,1871. TVonnkcticut EfcXCTION.—The elec tfkm i-rtfulted iu.tle success of Jewell, ReptflSTwaot candidate for Governor, and thfito Republican Congressmen. The Democrats 4*cted one Coijgreas man. The content was very close— Republican majority *«ot cxeeodifijf 180« jfllte Governor. ICI li2 . The Effect* es« Bml Pulley. We have jm> disposition whatever to fiad-forii with oar for anything they may publish not nc •cordancc with our views, uideas it toe something detrimental to *B*e comt try at large. Doubtless •our co tem poraries feel as we do, 'bat their in discretion in one particular deserves to bej>ointeihottt ‘to ’them, that the evil ihsty*fec abated at once. We de sire to call theiT attention to the vast injury they are doing the farming in- UM&t -by publishing conversations with formers, in which the fanners made to say that their neighbors generally are planting a larger area of com and less cotton this year than last, and that the indications arc that a great amount -df corn will be made and tout little -cotton. Nothing can toe-more nijuriaus"than such a policy tm the-port of newspaper men. They, thus •AofeKt the very object which they desire to accomplish. We have -conclusive evidence on this point; A gentleman of onr acquaintance— one among the largest planters in Pulaski county—and a diligent reader of the Macon Telegraph and Savannah News, told some of his friends a few evenings ago that on return to his plantation he intended to have fifty acres of his com plowd up and cot ton planted in its place. We have not a doubt tout the change has been .made, and that others will follow. We Stave frequently known fields of •com plowd up and cotton planted therein as soon as the Spring advance •occurred in the staple. ’fltoe Athens Watchman .-says that the prospect of 'the wheat crop in Nort-east Georgia is unusually pro mising, tout there tie mot enough of it The house of Mr. J. 1). Williams, In Harris county, with most of its contents, was burned one day last wreck. One <flT iris daughters and a •child narrowly escaped death. Loss #3OOO, and no insurance. SSVx thousand one hnndred and Torty-onc hales of upland cotton, val. mod at 4336,485 62, and fifty-seven toales oT sea’kßaud <cotton valued at *8,400, were shipped from Savannah ffor lAvojjpool, Tuesday. The -gm house and contents of F- C. ITracy., who lives about seven miles from Rome, was burned Momlay. Loss $2,500. In DcKalb Superior Court Wed nesday, two negroes, Randal Sams and John Griggs were convicted of burglary in the night time and sen fceneed to twenty years imprisonment in the penitentiary. The storm last Sunday was terribly severe near Burnesville. A two story hewed log house occupied by Joshua Willoughby, on the farm of F. T. Pound, was blown-down, the falling logs killing a son of Mr. W.’s and seriously crippling six or seven more of his family. An Experiment. Owe tg c«er exchangee reports that • planter, new Columbus, Miss., ex* perimented on one acre, setting his cotton plants three juid a halt' feet apart, each way, thinning to two •talks in the bill, and cultivating in the same manner as with com. The yield was more than double -that grown in the old way, and in respect to the maturing of tho bolls, advan tage was found in the readier access of the sun. The cxpei irnent is at least worth a trial in this State. Mr. Peter Yonng died at his resi dence, in Tage Cos., Va., on the 24th ulk, aged eighty-tour years and six teen days. Me was born near Darm stadt Hesse, Germany in 1787. -He served as a soldier under Napoleon Bonaparte eleven years—made orte of tho number of the 300,000 men that invaded Roaaia at the time of the burning of Moscow, and also one of the 80,000 who reached their homes in that disastrous retreat rpr-Mts Alps. Captain B. F. Mosely, of Valdosta, formerly -of Eatonton, was thrown oat of his baggy last Saturday and seriously injured. Gaaao Shipments for the Years \ ItffOMMl *»T*. Many ofmte’i&drife having ex. pressed a desire to know difference’ between the shipments of guano Tor the seasons of 1810 and 1871, we have obtained the figures from Mr. J. B. Mitch-11, yVgcat qt the depot in this place, and present them to -the pnblie. Roving the months oY February and March, 1870, the sh ipUitnla of gtiaqo t 6 ever the Macon and 15 rims wick land amounted Id 4,® over 1,160 tons. Fonthe months of February and March, 1871, the amouht received by the satm* sonrtt* was 544,260 pounds, or a fraction! aver 272 tons. ;• - t . By these figures we oloerve that tile shipmen's of last year exceed those of the present season neatly 900 tons, which, estimated at S6O per ton, present credit price, makes $54,000 less to fails! One noticeable feature in the sale of guano this year is that a great many small farmers are buying it who never used ,fjjttaiosJftW plan-i ters who ran "very large' plantations haVe not purdhased near so extensive ly as last year. We hope all tliese changes are for the better, and that the advent of next fall will find our agricultural friends more able to meet the demands of those who ad vance them necessary supplies. Sure ly there is aibrightcr future lor the country.

During three days of this week, seven negroes died in Augusta who were so poor that the county had to bury them. Charles Carter Lee, an elder brother of General Robert E.

Mr. Joseph White, who lived near Centreville, Fla., fell off a train just starting from Thomasvilie for Savan. nah last Monday night, and several cars passed over his bead, killing him instantly. He was drunk. The Augusta Constitutionalist, of Saturday, Bays: “From a private letter from Sandcrsville, Washington county, under date of Wednesday, .we are advised of a shocking occur rrence which took place on Tuesday night. Last week, the ham and sta blos.qf Mr. E. 6. Langmeade were burned, together with a fine young marc, a mule and a quantity or com and fodder. Theifirc was believed to have been incendiary;, and suspicion of firing the property (fastened upon a negro man named Elbert Harris, who was arrested and committed to jail to answer the charge. Ain Tues. night about two hundred dispuiaod men went to the jail, scoured entrance, and taking out the negro Harris, -car ried him to Langmeade’s pond and shot him to death. The body of the negro was discovered Wednesday morning, it having been thrown into the pond by the executioners.” Dick -Grant, the negro Who killed Chewes Davis last Febuary, near Sa vannah, and for whose arrest $606 re ward was offered by Gov. Bullock, was captured and jailed last Wednes day. Mews by apjfc.

Strong, about four miles from town, was burned liy an ineindiary Sunday night last. We believe there is not a section in the South where this species of villrioy doesjiot pre vail, There are provisions enough destroyed in this manner to fowl all the poor in the country, and \gt the vagabonds engaged in tiie work are dependent upon these storehouses for their sustenance. When will it end! When shall we have the courage to enforce tljc laws, and prevent the plunder of ojr ayd chijßfcn. There is a remarkable minister at Waynesboro, Wayne county, Tennes sec r the Bev. W. ,W. Kimbro, of whom the Colombia Herald says: “ During the j’ear 1870 he constitu ted three churches, with a member ship of about 200; preached 250 ser mons ; was the regular pastor of four churches. He has act been known to spend aa idle day, when well, in six years. If he is not preaching, he is among the high hills with his trus ty rifle. The number of deer by him killed each year for the last seven years has never been less than 65. In the year 1870 he killed 86 deer, and sold venison hams and deerskins to the value of $330.

Saturday last, after the races were over and a man named Finley was pcaccabl} - driving off the course in his buggy, he was earned aftd abused by a drnuken negro, and, on resenting i the -affront, was set upon by a negro crowd and mortally wounded, it is believed. When such things occur, a war of races becomes inevitable, and from present appearances we think our Carolina friends rimy make tip their minds to such a result and prepare to meet it.-- Savannah Republican. Mi rder Wild OTri'C-We find the .following in the Sumter Republican, of Friday: It has been elicited by the preliminary investigation, jmd closed yesterday at Oglethorpe, in the mat ter of the recent assassination of the lion. Geo. W. Fish, Judge of the 13th District Court, that one John R. llolscnback and one .fames C. Lloyd, two white citizens of that piece, com mitted tlie murder. The causes which induced tlie deed on tho part of these men, are said to have been tHe jealous}’ of the first and a person al grudge of the other.
