We have, through ■ the columns of thie Home Journal, ’ nrgcd as sb-ongly as:.we : , could, 1 that the Democrats .should stand aloof from -giving them security. "We did toty people among whom bur paper eircn-. fates. Oureonvietjonsare unchanged^ but us these ^Democrats, are men of un- donbtfe character, and political prin-, .eiples, as some. of. ffiem are representa tive men, and.aU.of, them are-supposed ^to know their own husine^s Best, 1.^ have nothing, more to say-oh. the sub ject. •Have ahy,.of our readers, noticed the .paragraph pt the head, of our; editorial column? We want our readers-to keep .ns informed r.as to.what-is going oh'in the different parts of -jtUe. county; . Re cently we havh sec-h several Houston .county itejns in j pityers published out ,of the county,- andour friends dh the .vicinity ot‘the- places where those tilingsIinppened, 'doubtless thought it strange that wh did .'hot publish them. But thow could werif -we did hot hear of them? . H onr friends do not* keep ■us informed." •we . can’t Jbtear.of every thing that happens, though our ears tyvere as big as.au. elephant's. During the past year toe Macon ■ ManufacturingCqmjtahy turned out 1,418,923 yardiTof doth. The 'actual profit for the year was twelve and a half per cent. ’ on' the capital. From the profits of the last six monhs, tli Directors, declared a dividend of five .per cent. Hon. Joshua Hill has at last been admitted - info the United States Sen ate. Mr. Hill is a Republican bxit,. we, believe, an honest man and not inclin ed to lend liis aid to .any measure , op pressive to the South. Dr. Miller is still left out intoe cold. -■ . James R. Randall, who has-been conducting the Augusta.Constitution alist with gjeat ability has retired from the editorship ■ of that journal, and James Gardner, Esq. j its editor before the war, assumes control. Betbayed and Cheated both: -Wats.—When the people see that the Governor" has'spent seVertd thousand dollars for printing which could have been done for a few dollars, they feel .that they havebeen cheated out of so much money: and when they see those editors who formerly stood as •senti nels upon the watch towerB of freedom, and gave the alarm whenevr the Treas ury was about to be robbed, nbw silent' or giving an uncertain sound, they feel that they are ' betrayed.;—Federal Union . r . .Cotton. A great many supposed that too end of the war in Europe would raise the price of Cotton, but the. contrary has been the case. Cotton bios been duller since the close of the war, or. rather .the armistice, "than it : was for some- .time. previous. We - do . nbt? believe cotton will ever, for any length of time, attain the high prices some are expect-; ,-ing. Oiir advice to farmers is to make, cotton thnt they can sell at about four- Jiaen ccnte; let them hire labor, and manage their farms so that the cotton ..they make can be sold profitably-‘ at that price. If it cost more than that, our opinion is that money wilj be lost ^on it. . '■ ■ ' . | >-*-4 Gone to - Texas.—--Dr. U. A.

The way it.came tlidfe is this: linring last .Christmas, a negro stole a valise from Mr. Manning’s store in Hayneville, which had this gold' in it and some clothing. He buried the gold, but un dertook to wear the # cIoilies, and was thereby detected.. He confessed toe. crime, and revealed the. place where .the money was hid, but made bis es cape while, being carried to Hayne- .ville. A merchant in Geneva, 1ST. Y. adver tised that he wanted -to engage the services , of a small boy. The next day -his wife presented him with two small boys. That man says he don’t think, advertising pays.

Lucerne accor ding to vYille draws more .ammonia from toe atmotyhere than, any other .plapt whatever. It therefore greatly enriches-land. The Lucerne on lh- s farm—some .five acres—was destroyed by-toe grazing of toe Fedend horses and" cattle during: i • war. The roots which were-'as largo as moderate .sized carrots, withering, toe ground • was left almost honey combed. It was as loose as an “ash-heap” vastly improved in fertility. - " If Lucerne is - cultivated on a small scale for soiling work horses,, a lot toouMhe selected- adjoining, toe sta- hie. - Tlie Lucerne ent one day should be left to wilt and used the next day. From the middle of March, or first of April there wili be no further use for corn and fodder during toe season.— It wiR be found that toe -horses and .mules will often eat ail the Lucerne in toe trough before-tliey touch the corn. In fact a horse will do light work, or answer for riding on Lucerne without corn.. - - . .e Lucerne makes the very best iiay.— On very rich land it can be mowed five times during the season,. yielding a ton at each cutting, and sometimes more. This is five.tons to toe acre.— Ten acres would yield fifty tons. This at.thirty dollars to the. ton would be fifteen, hundred dollars.A good mo w- fer will cut .these ten acres- in a day.— Is to--re any other plant which grows out of the ground that wiR pay . as Well? Observe too whole iabor em ployed after, toe first cost is one day’s work of a mower and -the'necessary la-, bor of .curing and hauling to the bam. How much labor does it take to make fifteen huudred. doUars: worth of cob ton aikl com ? Yet with this possible, taty>! practicably, extraordinary pror duct, the fMtastern and Attatie railroad brought down between' one and two millions of Tennessee and Rentucky hay last j-ear, and the wharves of omt ports were loaded with Korthem hay. UTien shaR wc learn wisdom? Thc-re are some English and some Jforthern grasses which do not thrive with us. But neither England or the North can grow Lucerne,' one, be cause it is too wet; the- other, because iff is too cold. If we could raise no other .plant for hay .then Lucerne, we -still should never bny.a pound; of hay grown out. of the Btate: ;It.,alone •would-be ample.for allwants: Lugcrne shoidd' be ciit. very close, leaving as little stubble as possible;— It- sometimes turns yellow. This is t he work of an insect and toe Lucerne should bo immediately mowed over,— The field is ready, for the scy the -when toe" blossoms begin to appear. If. left longer it become^ Ayopdy. ‘ , _ -As soon as .the. Lucerne is cut it shpuld.be raked, into rows and in tod same day be threwu into cocks about five>feet high, and; as smaR round as wRl stand well. It : will then .cure in the shade. .If it gets too much sun, the leaves wiR wither; and faR off,- and nothing .will be left bnttoe. stems. Oil the whole, toe cultivation of Lu cerne, for spRing'and hay, cannot be too highly recommended totoe South ern "land holder. It is useless on poor Jandj iiind.no one should attempt its oulfhlre unless-he means to do it.
