Leap Year Party.
It was our pleasure on lost Friday
night, to attend a most delightful party,
gotten up, and entirely managed, by the
young Ladies of Rome. Every thing
was arranged in excellent good taste>
and the young Ladies played the gal
lants most admirably. They showed
that they not only knew how to graco-
fiilly receive tho attention of tho sterner
sex, but also, that they can most charm
ingly bestow them. It was a sweet season
of joyous hilarity, mirth and social
amusements—a genuine “feast of rea
son and flow of soul.” There are many
more young Gents than Ladies in the
place, and if the former did not all get
special invitations, we see no reason why
they should be growling about it. The
Ladies deserve much credit for the
pleasing exhibition they made of “their
rights” for tho current year. May they
all live long and happily, and each be
the puro center of saerod household
joys.
oould have made the expression a groat
deal stronger if he had said “give mo
Liberty, or give me heap Year." Wo
only wish it wa» eighteen hundred and
sixty one, we would Beo how far another
Leap Year would be from catching us
in this “fix” again, and as it is we have a
notion to spend the balance of this one
in Utah. There wo reckon the Ladies
are not quite so independent, Leap
Year indeed!
8®*Oor Junior lias fully verified the
fable of the Fox and the Grapes. Ho
worried himself almost to insanity be
cause he did not get a special invitation,
and now tries to console himself with
tho “sour grope” conclusion. We pity
him—wo really do. But since he wrote
the above, and like tho Irishman, “let
off tho bad” article, we discover un
mistakable signs of his convalacencc,
and we assure tho ladies lie will bp ill
his right mind in a few days.
The Effect, of SIJou.-Intercom's c,
' We clip the following from -an article
in the New York Herald. It shows the
power of the South. She has banging
loosely and hitherto unused an arm of
defence that,.!/ raised and exerted with
all its sinewy strength, would demolish
her enemies and.plant her own interests
upon a basis of permanent prosperity.
See, from the fo.llowing from tho .New
York Herald, what would bo one of the
first legitimate and inevitable effects of
non-intercoune:
“JBut there is another element of
power in their,possession which can bo
used with torriblo .-effect upon every
Northern interest. Their present crop
of cotton is estimated at four millions
of bales—the greatest ever made. This
staple is a necessity for tho manufactur
ers of Europe and the Northern States,
It is shipped to the' consuming mark
ets, and drawn against through the
bankers of New- York to the extent of
fifty dollars per bale, or two hundred
millions of -dollars annually. The
equilibrium of trade has been supplied
by Northern exports to Southern mark
ets. This Northern-trade being dried
up or even largely diminished, the
South will call upon our bankers for
specie in return ' for the bills on tho
manufacturers of Massachusetts and
Europe. Sucli .a call as this would drain
every Northern bankiof its specie, and
bring the whole of the immense edifice
of Northern credit crumbling about our
ears. This is no-.'imaginary picture.—
Every merchant, every' banker, every
man of sense, who contemplates calmly
the changes which the present excite
ment in the South is effecting in the
channels of trade, ' d^iiipisliiqg their
current and changiqg.t|ieif course’, seos
it clearly, and oln&fly obnfetnplates how
he shall provide for the exigencies which
it must produce before the coming sum
mer shall have passed away.”
fol-
Tbk Amended Resolution.—Tho
lowing is the resolution agreed upon
a conference of the Democratic, Anti-
Lecomptqn and Southern Opposition
members of the House, as a modifica
tion or substitute for Mr. Clark’s origi
nal resolution in reference to the Helper
pamphlet and’ tthe /Speakership. Mr
Clark refused t^aefcept it as a’substitute
for his resolution :i
Whereas the agitation of the slavery
question is productive of no good, hut
of evil to the whole country, and its fur
ther discussion ought to’be discountenan
ced by all parties, therefore,
Resolved, That no man who lias re-
commended, end Jtili imwt« on, and
does not now disclaim, the doctrines
contained in the attracts which have
been read from the “Impending Crisis
of the South," and who is Opt opposed
to the further agitation ot tho slave-
question, is fit to be Speaker ef the
JIouso.
Now we wisli to say a word or two on
this subject. All that sounds very nice
and pretty coming from our Senior, and
and although he ‘insists wo must not,
we will say it—Senior in year* as well as
editorial experience. He can afford
write in that way about Leap" Year
Parties, when ho gets a special invitation
go, and has an escort. But there are
two sides to every quostion and we are
the other side of this one, for ice did
not have a “peculiar institution” in em
bryo to come and hand us a sweetly
scented billet doux written in tho most
delicate chirography “respectfully solic
iting the pleasure of our company.” It
true we did get through the Post Office
Bort of general invitation or permis
sion or something of the kind, which
seemed to say, if you are not afraid to
come by yourself, you can come, or you
can stay away just as you please, and if
you come you can toko care of yourself,
and if you stay away, nobody will miss
you anyhow. We have neverdouo any
thing that wo know of that makes us
deserve such treatment. We have nev
er been caught disturbing tho midnight
sluraberB of any body’s hen roost, or in
mistaking anothor man's pocket for our
Wo don’t recollect over having
said that women were intellectually in
ferior to Bacon, or Newton, or Bona
parte, or Julius Ctesar, or Pompey, or
Solomon, or Brigham Young or Joe
Brown, and . we aro satisfied wo have
never compared them to a huge fodder
stack with a little piece of ribbon or a
turkey feather fluttering from the top
of it. However much wo may have
thought all this, we hare prudently kept
to ourselves, (but we vow wo won’
do so any longer.) On the other hand
ever since we had heard there was to be
Leap Year Party wo had been studi
ously attentive and polite to eTery one
of tho “doar (bah !) creatures.” When
ever wc have met them on the streets,
we have invariably tippod pur hat as
gracefully as we knew how and smiled
a little sweeter than we ever thoughtwe
could before or over can again and in one
or two instances we followed them several
blocks, hoping we might have an oppor
tunity of picking up and returning to
its/aiV owner a glove or pocket-hand
kerchief she may have unintentionally
dropped. And yet, after all this, not
one of them offered to escort us to the
Party, And we gave them a fair
chance too, for we waited as patiently
as Job could have done under the cir-
cumstancos,’ until half-past nine o’clock
that night. Then, hope and our fire go
ing out about the same time, we conclu
ded to follow their example and stroll
up to the City Hall only to see who and
how mrny were there. Wa very fool
ishly "went in,” by way of testing tho
matter a little further, and just as we
expected, nobody came to ask us to
promenade, or to insist on our aingin
“Jeremiah,” or to play tho elephant, or
any other animal, or to ask us how w
were “enjoying the evening," or oven to
inform us of the state of tho weather.
One young lady (bless her sweet soul)
did offor to take our hat, and it was
such au extraordinary act of attention
to us that wo thought sho deserved it,
apd we would have given it to her, if it
had not cost us five dollars and was the
only one we had. Wo are satisfied
from what we saw thut our Senior’s rhap
sodies are all put on, for we are willing
to bo qualified to the assertion that the
whole time wc were there, he was 0
most neglected “wall flower.” It may
bo called spite or spleen or anything
else, but as for us, we consider tho whole
affair a perftet humbug. We had rathor
oat “sour grapes” any time than attend
one for Half an hour. The man thut
started the idea of giving up for twelve
mpnths the dearest privileges of his
sex to a parcel of unappreciative and
capricious women, deserved u coat of
tar and feathers, and on Friday night
wo had the melancholy. satisfaction of
burning the simpleton in effigy and
singing “Johnny Brown” for his re
quiem. So fur as any advancement of
our own from a state of singlo blessed
ness to 0110 of double wretchedness is con
cerned, when we record in our Journal
the events of 1800, wo will simply leave
a blank page. We think Patrick Henry
PRESENTMENTS OF THE GRAND
JURY—First Week.
Georgia, Kleyd County, Superior Court, Jan
uary Term, 1800. u
Tho Grand Jurors, chosen and sworn
for the first week, of tho present Term
of said court, having discharged the
various duties assigned us by the Court,
beg leave to make the following gener
al Presentments.
Wo have, by our Committee, examin
ed the books of the Superior Court, and
find them neatly kept.
For want of-time, ■ we did not ex
amine the books of tho Inferior Clerk.
We find tho Ordinary, the books and
papers neatly kept. Wo also find the
amount of School Funds received from
tho State to be $2,259 35, and from the
county taxes, $1,522 90, muking in all
for educational purposes $3,783 25.
We have also examined tho county
Treasurer’s books, and found them neat
ly kept. Thos. J. Perry, former Treas
urer. We find no money turned over to
his successor W. J. T. Hughes. We
find a ballance in lavor of Tlios. J. Per
ry, former Treasurer, one hundred and
eighty two dollars and twenty-seven
cents. s We find in the hands of W. J.
T. Hughes, Treasurer, five hundred and
fifteen dollars.
We find a ballance in tho hands of J
W. Landrum, Tax Collector, two thous
and four hundred and seventeen dollars
ninety-four cents.
Tho roads in the county are, as a whole
in very bad condition, and great negli
gence exists in regard to thorn, to which
we would call the attention of the Infe
rior Court. Also for said court toaid in
building three bridges one across Cedar
creek at Thomas Mills and Haneys mills
and across Armuchee at Jones' mills.
Further we would direct the Inferior
Court to instruct the commissioners of
the various districts to enforce the pa
trol laws rigidly.
Wo would mention if there are any
slaves who hire their time from tho ow
ners and are a nuisance to a neighbor
hood by thoir intemperance, bad habits
arising from such privileges they may
be made an example of as it is in viola
tion of law and good order.
We rcommend that fifty per cent on
tho State tax bo levied, or so much there
of as the Inferior Court in thejr judg
ment may devise for school purposes.
We would further recommend unifor
mity in paying Teachers in the various
districts.
Our examination of the reoords of
crime in our midst, and our knowledge
of the goiterul condition of the county,
enable us to say, that, as a community
our people aro lreo from many of the
crimes and vices of tho day, but thut
there is still much crime and violation
of law and that much care is nccdod to
hold it in check.
We have also examined tlip Jail and
found it in good condition and neatly
kept, much to the credit of our Jailor.
We find the Court IIouso building in
many respects in bad order, muny glass
broken and a very injurious leak over
the Inferior Clerks room, to whloh we
call the attention of the Inferior Court.
Also a want of cleanliness in the upper
rooms and passage of tho Court House.
In taking leuve of his honor, Judge
Hammond, wo beg leave to express our
admiration ol the able and impartial
manner in which lie lias discharged the
duties of his high position, and to the
Solicitor General, Col. Fielder, our
thanks for his uniform courtesy to this
body. ’ t

Yet memory oft tho picture brings

Thus early friends remember when
They first its schoolboys mot in play,
Aud yet, though years have passed since
then,
It only seems “the other day."
The form of her we loved of ynro
To whom we pledged affection's vow,
Will glide before our eyes once moro,
Though but in memory living now;
Of that dark hair one tress alone—
A treasured gift—is spared decay,
Yet words in that familiar tone
Seemonly breathed “tile othor day.”
Theso friends appear no moro the some
That shared our mirth and dried our tears,
Or taught us childhood's fuvorite game—
The dear old friends of early years;
Bat when we ask if they f-rgot
Those memories of the past, thoy say—
“Though ti|uehns wrought some changes, yet,
It only seems ‘the other day.”

COTTON SEED FOR SALE
O F THIS now and splendid variety, origi
noted and established by th© subscriber
surpassing in production all uplands and
“Jethro" in fineness of staple, which I gat-
ton year* ago to agricultural and bommeree
and sstablished for it a special demand with
the manufacturers at the “ World’s Exhibi
tion" in London, und lias continued to com
mend the highest market value of all up
lauds.
In those sections of the Cotton region
where “Sea Inlands" have been introduced
and cultivated us the staplo crop, tho 1. X. I
will supercede them when known, being as
fine in staple, and seed well adapted to the
operation of tho long Cotton Gins. The crop
being more productive, profitable, and reliu
lie every way. Thq plant differs in cliarac
ter from all other varieties, being strong,
vigorous and stocky—leaves deeply serrated,
and present a singular lively, green glazed
color—bolls long and large, frequently tw<
growing oppositely at the joints, and singb
ones at tho junction of tho main stalk and
brunches | maturing and picking qualities
unrivaled, bearing uniformly until frosts cuts
off tho cron.
Has not been subject to tho disease of oth
•r Cotton during eightyoar*existence.
Having devoted many years to the success
ful and practical improvement of the great
staple product of the South, and testing
severely the relative merits of almost every
variety introduced within tho last thirty
yeara, regarding also tho present active de
mand and futuro promise for the finer class
of upland Cotton in a greater ratio than any
F eriod sinoe the creation of tho Cotton trade,
do confidently recommend to the producer
tho I. X. L., as the most valuable and pro
ductive
. SEED.
Also, of the old-fashioned Mnxican-brecd
known all over tho planting region au “IMit,
or what is the sumo thing, tho “ Gulf Hill
seed, which has proven itself in the long run
the healthiest, hardiest, and most prodn
ever introduced of tho short staples, but
unfortunately discarded or adulterated by ad
mixtures with woithlcss sub-varieties. Those
seed have been preserved puro and unndul
terated for thirty years, and are tho identical
if the famous “Arutulo" brand, and main
tained its position at the head of the Now
Orleans market, always bringing more money
the wholo crop round, than any other sold in
that market. Any one one once familiar
with the original “Mexican" Cotton, can
raadily identify them as the “Simon pure."
As for maturing, productive and picking
qualities, no variety, including all the “Subs'"
and “Prolific*" ever originated, excel in anv
one quality, tho Mexican parent. All, all
exhaust before the season is ended, if a late
one, except the I. X. L., and the
“MeBRIDE,”
A very productive short staple, aud a great
favorito with those who know it best, havo
smaller seeds than all others, and tho only
two varieties that arc uniform and run out
tho maturiug season. To plant a crop with
only a single hand does not meet the promise
of “the early and latter rain."

above kinds, will be delivered on Railroad,

" JRIOR TO tfc* rear 1847, Superphosphate
I had been made irii England, by treating
burnt lHkiMH witji p»lphtir}c acid, and by tho
formation of sulphate Sf fltue, thus abstract
ing one atom of lime from {he bones, a solu
ble phosphate had been formed. In 1847, J.
Mapen made u series of experiments, thu*r
found, analytically, that Peruvian Gnano-
coiitaim*d tho necessary elements fof insfr-
ig the growth of plants, but not in tho
ut rtdutivo proportions to each other. Ho
instituted a series of experiments, practical
ly, by which ho proved that one hundred,
pounds of burnt bones, treated with fifty-sr£
pounds of sulphuric acid, thirty-six pounds
of Peruvian Gunno, twenty pounds of sul
phate of ammonia, formed a rnixturo every-
-ny superior to Peruvian Guano, and that
would not excite the soil,, but would con
tinually udd to its fertility.
He had found that one barrel of blood*;
fresh from the animal, mixed with a cord of
organic matter, would, by fermentation, pro
duce a manure equul to a cord of well rotted
stable manure. He further found that sev
enteen barrels of blood, when dried, would
make one barrel, and that blood could bo
procured at comparitivelv little cost, in cer
tain sections ; that it could bo dried by cook
ing and pressing ho as to produce a dry pow
der, and by adding to the above named in

of which are epuul in power and lusting ef

of tho best Peruvian Guano.
?i»ce he has oflered his invention to tho
farms r» of tho country, somo fifty companies
have imitated this article uiubr various
names, and for the purpose of rendering it
popular, have traduced Prof.* M»po* and liis
article, claiming to make that of a superior,
quality. Every year presents new imitators
of this article, who manufacture an inferior
articlo, u*ing tho mineral phospute* as a ba
sis. instead of tho calcined bones of animals.
Notwithstanding all Ibis, the demand for
Mapes* Nitrogenised 8nj>erpUospkuto, of
Lime lias doubled.
Peruvian Guano contains an excessivo
amount of ammonia, tho only use of which
is to ronder water capable of dissolving a
larger amount of the inorganic constituents
of the soil, or as sometimes called to act as
an excitant. The ninrkot gardeners of New
Utrecht commenced sorno years ago hv using
two hundred weight of gnano to the acre;
they are now corn pc 11 ml to uso twelve hun
dred weight of guano to prtduce the saino
ofleet, ami their land is 4 evideut)y impover
ished by its use, while those who lmvo used
tho Nitrogenired •■uperpliospliatc of Lime,
have steadily found their soils to be improv
ed, and instead of roquiriug more, they re
quire less fertilising material each year. Ami
this i.“ particularly true of Tobacco and Cot
ton lands.
Among tho advantages arising from the
line of Nitrogenisod Superphosphuto are the
following: It carries no weed seed to tho
soil; it preveuts rust, and insures the perfect
ing of plants; thus, when used on Cotton, tho
boll* do not fall and. hs by tho experience of
Mr. Lomas, Col. Davis, and Col. Goodwin
ami othwrs, it gives a greater weight per acre
of cotton. For Wheat, it has steadily prov
ed itsalf to be superior to tho Peruvian Gu
ano; when in contact with seed, it does not
destroy it as does t*e Peruvian Guano; and
it Mtpplies tho deficiency of tho Phosphate
of Lime un i o her ingredients, produced Id
excessive reaping of graiu aud unduo pas
turage.
Tike reports of the farm of tho inventor, of
he American Institute, and committors of
other institutions, wh * have visited it, nltho*
it is manured entirely with this fertiliser,
prove that no inunuro has yet been used
which produce* an equal amount profit.
The American f n^titato have jus? awarded
their Silver Medal to Professor Mapes, for th»
best fertilizer, alter a most thorough investi
gation into tho morila of all in the market.
