The produo I iou of scrubs or mean stock of any kind, is rather a mean business, in pecuniary poiut of view. Raise su perior animals ou rich grasses, if yon seek a good income from your far n stock liusl andry. Such animals may obtain a part, of theii living Irom un improved old field?, particularly sheep; but they want good clover and pea-hay in winter, or hay made from the England grasses. The mostprom- uent- error in stock growing, is tho at tempt to raiso the fine hogs, cattle and sheep on scanty and defective food. Some want n great deal of milk or wool from little or nothing.— They ask nature to make them rich, while they lie in the shade in summer, nnd sit by the fife in 'Winter, aud leave their poor animals to nearly or qnit6 perish from neglect.—Out Look. Labor Saving Inventions. The proverbially inventive and la bor Raving yankce is completely out done by the grooms of Paris and Vi enna. It has lately been discovered through the investigation of veterina ry surgeons iu Paris and Vienna, that the grooms of carriage horses are in the habit of giving chloral to their fiery chnrgers to m ke them docile and easi y munngeble. and arsenic to make their coats glossy without groom ing. It is alleged this practice has been carried on for a long time, and to a general extent, and that it was only discovered at the instance of a gentleman who did not appreciate the change in his spiritedhorsos, and pur sued his investigation until he found in his stables the cordial by which they were put to sleep. Steel Plows best. Allen says: “I would sooner pay doable the price for steel plows than accept as a gift the best set of cast iron plows to be found in the United States. Though ever so hard ’chilled or smothly' polished, cast-iron will foul, more or less, ou the mold board, in every kind of soil, from a sandy or gravelly up to a heavy clay loam. The dirt thus gathered on the mold-board adds greatly to its draft, and prevents good work. Another objection toj cast iron is, iu order to get equal: strength the weight must be consider-1 obly greater than steel; mid this a is j great drag all day, and requires'' a much stronger team. Of this any' one may: quickly convince himself,, without resort to dynamometers or any other means .of testing the drafts. --He has ouly to hitch a light team to the steel plow, and a strouger oue to ! the cast-iron, and work them side liy side Iu this way I have tonnd that a pair of fourteeu-haud ponies would do about the same work,, and with as much ease to themselves, as a pair of sixteen hand horses. The same ob servations will also apply to cultiva tors.” j more such years’ will almost entirely relieve onr people of debt,'.and put them in n condition to acquire the means of repairing their rained for tunes. The economy and good sense 1 with which our farmers bas e conducted the present year’s operations could not fail of success; and if they will in the future limit their work, to their avail able means, this country cun yet re gain what she has lost in the List five years. The grain crop next year will be larger than ever before, if seasons are fuvorabie, for ail over thecouniy large quantities of wheat, rye and oats are being sown, and our land-being more thoroughly prepared • than usual. — There is every where a disposition to do less fertilizing and better cultiv i- ting; and a few farmers are beginning to pay more attention to the raising of sheep, hogs and cattle.. Just as our farmers are prospering, our merchants are easier, and are meeting their obligations promptly.— There is no town in Georgia whose merchants have better credit than taoso of -Perry and Eor.t Valley. Let ns have a diversity of pursuits in our county, stock-raising,, manufac luring, etc., and each pursuit will aid and build up the other, and so con tribute to the general prosperity. - We believe a fuir.shure of the cred it for the present out-look is due to Grange principles. A part, however, is due to the press and that necessity whose instructions cannot be gainsaid or disobeyed. The Bogus Bonds. When it was ijscovered that the proposed amendment to the Constitu tion, declaring null and and void the fraudulent securities issued by Bul lock, was fatally defective, a number of onr State exchanges at once joined in calling upon the Governor to con vene the Legislature in extra session in order that the defect might be rem edied. We have no doubt—indeed, since the election for legislators a few w ki!g.,it sabs >li.t‘ly c itaia these .nu:n 1 Fairly r p sent :d public opin ion in the matter. The movemeiitoas opposed, however, by the Atlanta Constitution—just-as it had opposed the act of the previous Legislature de claring these same bonds iDvalid—and for some reason or other, which has never been very .clearly understood by the people, the Governor took ho action in the matter, so that now the only feasible remedy, as it seams to us, is to call a convention of the peo ple. We say the only feasible reme dy, because if a convention is not called and it is left to the newly-olect ed General Aseembly to frame a suit" able amendment, two or more .years must elapse before it can., be. submit ted to the succeeding L >gls!ature and the people for ratification Sacn de- jay is not to be thought of for a mo ment. Eight millions of dollars of the people’s money is involved, and it must be evident that no stone will be left unturned by the holders of the bogus bonds to extort this money from the State. Even in the last elec tion for members of the General As sembly the influence of these bond holders was painfully apparent in the unusual number of independent can didates in the field, and there is no predicting to what an extent this de moralization will be carried two years hence. In short, the-people of Georgia cannot aflord - to . wait upon the uncertain contingencies of the fu ture. The calling of a constitutional convention of the people, strips all doubt from the question, and such 'a con e .tion we must ha ve.—Sue. JVeics a pinnacle, touching this matter of- “inixed votes.” The Mirror’s advice reads well, and shows that the Editor may same day establish his claim to the confidence of the people, as a safe guide iu public affairs—there i’s like wise, an apparent spirit of' indepen dence and impartiality. worthy of a paper; which, discarding individual and personal claims—seeks only the general good; does not propose to'tike sides,—ibot opens its columns, on cer tain terms—giving editorial support to none. No objection thus far: b'n£ is there not a fling at a prominent citizen, who lias been mentioned in connection with one of the -county offices, (in a sentence or two below) where fine traits, which people have wont to esteem noble and praisewor thy. arc named as not in themselves a perron can find any record he wants wli’.innt trouble. The Ordinary’s books are kept in a neat'c tyle, and in consequence of a vast deal-if the business.of his office being performed bv tSe Board of Commissioners.. and the Ordinary not being required to make a balance sheet and exhibibii to the jury, bnt to said board quarterly, we cannot make a c unplete report, bat yvill say that af ter a very careful examination of his books and.accounts they ’ are correctly kept. We find the Tax Receiver’s digest made out in good style, bnt'find a Very great difference in valuation of tax payers property in the connty, which should be corrected and taxes thereby made more eq. 1; . ■ order to accomplish it; we have appointed the following committee;—G. W. Maddox D. M. Brown and Rev. B. F.-'-Tbarpe, as a board of Ass sors to examine the property of the inhabitants in all parts of the county, assisted by the Tax Re ceiver, and make a general and eqnit- sufficient to constitute their possessor able, assessment of allt: sable property a good official? Few men, Mr. Edi-. --—■- lor, in any age, or any country, hold in combination the almost superhu- human characteristics which the Mir-, in the county. We also recommend tbat the Board of County Commissioners be allowed three dollars per day for actual ser vices rendered. ror fears, his countrymen may deem quite sufficient to make a' .“good offi cial.” Here they are enumeated as, sernbly tenrge and insist upon there- We would respectfally recommend onr represents: ives in the General As- “clever fellow, old war veteran, open handed, generous soul, a friend to the poor.” Can any voter in the county,. acquainted with the persons named us candidates, (especiolly. in the vicing _. where the article in question took typical form,) fail to perceive that the Mirror’s spleen is covertly vented up on a gentleman it has aptly described; a gentleman whose reputation for pa triotism and political uprightness, is proof against any suspicion of being a compromiser of. principle—whose qualifications fit him for any position which he wonld ask, and who bus been found of full weight in whatever balance he has been tried. Ii this construction of tue Mirror's language and reference is unauthorized, the amenbe. is in,—if otherwise the people should rebuke the spirit which flows' a personal dislike to point an article, purporting'to have been penned in the public interest. Public journals in professing not to take sides in fa vor of candidnt-es, should be careful to avoid “taking sides” against them. F. Y. COTTON FACTORS . and Merchants, POPLAR STREET, MACON, GA.

The escape of volatile ammonia tied other gasses; and secondly, the loss .of valuable salts by leaching.

Byron Itoms- Not haviug troubled yon in some time with my scribbles I have con eluded to give you a few dots: Well, our planting friends are clo sing up their year’s hal’d earnings.— Some cotton fields look a little while yet,—bnt the most of them have dark cast, and now aud then yon can see the heavy ear- of corn hanging to the mother stalk. Many are through sowing their grains; others are not; so our planting friends are not exact ly uniform with each oilier, hat so goes the world. Our little town Byron is’ as usual, as quiet as could be wished with one exception, you can.scarcely speak to a friend so as to understood for the harsh sound of ihe saw, hammer, ack-plane and gavil;—Byron seems to be rising right up. Wagons- are rol ling in the. cotton constantly with oth er produce; so the rearing of the steed and the roaring of the carriages help to confuse the auditory nerves. A planter can sell his produce as well here os in the city of Macon, rind no grumbling about weights, for onr Doc tor Tom knows exactly what honesty s, and no man says yea nor nay when iassays a bale of cotton weighs so ranch. " W’oll, we have five stores and alltof them.str rag firms, and I might have said full-of goods, if it wasn't for the coustahtdepletion made by the car riages that bring iji the produce be ing . loaded and sent to the consu- m irs at home.
