The Late Storm.
We perceive from various quarters, that
much damage was done along the sea coast.
At this place it was not so heavy as we an
ticipated at noon of Saturday. The barom
eter fell rapidly to a very- low point 28.91
inches, and we prognosticated to a friend
what transpired 12 hours afterward. In
the lower part of this (HancQpk county,) it
was severer than at Sparta. We under
stand that Mr. David Dickson ha<J five
thousand panels of fence amt twenty ne
gro bowses blown down. Mr. Wm, B. Hall
also suffer^ very severely, maiiily hy the
prostration of fences and whole forests in
his recently cleared lands. By the way the
Barometer is a very useful instrument in
determining storms not only at sea but on,

We introduce in another column rather
off than those who buy their own bacon.—
The most thrifty planters in Hancock, are
those, who raise their own floqr an4 pork,
at the risk of -raising less cotton, and yet
there is a plan by which they can m$se It
much cheaper than they do.
Every farmer should have a hog- range
attached to his farm. It should have a
good stream of running water, and might
embrace from ten to one hundred acr-ea, ac
cording to the. amount of pork to he raised.
The major part should be a forest, which
would answer the double purpose of rais
ing timber for wood and raito, and acorns
for your hogs. All the undergrowth
should be cut out and burned. The dead
trees cut down and split for Wood rails,
as well as all the thick growth of saplings,
pines, gums, dogwoods, and in fact all but
oaks, hickory, walnuts, mulbcrrys, persim
mons, &c. The oaks should not stand
thick; but let in plenty of air and sun,
and they will bear much better. One oak
standing thus isolated will bear as much
as half a dozen crowded.. Particular at-
such as ours ? That public opinion was
not prepared to. take a’further step in this
cause, was evidqiA frogi the history of the
last legislature, {he echoes of which bad

Was it to fall ha<jk to a positjpft -th^
might bj? in. unison ^ith. the public seuti-
ment ‘f ^bia is just what a majority of tb e
convention did, and they believed by do
ing so an-important step b e secured
to the temperance cause, one wb,icb might
prepare the way for- a still more important
one in tfc,e future. I give it as; my honest
conviction that if the convention, as a
whole, had rallied upon this ground, and
.made one united effort, that the next leg
islature would have gathered to it all the
moderate men, and even ninny that are in
favor of grog-shops, who are driven off and
made enem.ip 3 by a more nHw measure.--.
And is not this a desirable end to be secur-.
eJ? This itself would have b,cep. im
portant' step for future success. Then ter
the legitimate working of tha^ .$$$ e ®‘
cient of all tempuruUP'i cafgun\zat\ons, the
Knights pf Jepchft,” the day. would soon
have come when ali that the mos^ ze^lops
could desire would be obtained.
But we are asked by the Atlanta men,
What gond tft the capse of temperance-
Wo\\ld it be to nut the Licensing povyer into
the hands of the Inferp Court ? They
will license grog-shops still, and how is this
to promote the cause of temperance ?—
Well, let us sue-. Under the operation of
this law, our judges would be elected with
reference to the exercise of this power.—
This would bring the direct question be-
fqve the people, grog-shops or no grog
shops. This would be in accordance with
the principles of a democratic government.
Suppose that in two adjoining counties,
one court should be elected for, and the
uther against grog-shops, Euoh cOurt
yielding to the expressed wishes of the
people, one should retime and the other-
irrant licenses, Is it not reasonable to
suppose that the peace harmony, goo.fi or
der, and prosperity ftf the one, consisted
with the drunkenness, rioting, an;\ UU t_
raups committed against the peace y,nd
good order of society to fhe other, would
do. more to prepare' the public min'd for
the entire abolition of tlto traffic than al
most anything else ? Thus an impulse
would he given to th^e iflstnimentalities
which aye at work to prepare, the way for a
giorc efficient legislation.
Again ; the Court, having, the tight to
discriminate, would of course adopt a ri+le
of discrimination. For instance: a recom-

Now for the orchard part. As many as

ripen iu May, June and July, and some
even later-, in sqqqres about six feet each
way, and they will soon cover the ground.
Set out peach trees ten feet each way, of
such kinds that will ripen from June to
October, and try and plough them twice a
year if pijsible, and you will have fruit
that will gladden the heart of a porker.—

only that class of singing conducted by a
few while the congregation are only lis

be so Feguiar uufi punctiloijs in all its

it should be- It wants the heartiness, the
Unction, the devotion- The best singing

State Temperance Convention versus tfje

Mr. Editor:—It is scarcely possible
for one,in these days of cherished opinions,
to give his vietys on a - y subject without
being censured from some source, never
theless, as it is the right of every free an. n
to pres.cnf bis views on all subjects in
which fhe public good mgy be p q:aoted,
I will venture a few suggestions p. speeding
the present movement of the anticipated
Temperance Convention to be held at At-

fo the Editor of the Central Gefjrgiqn :
I hjive rgad an article in your paper qf

will giys you a plan which I have followed

generally from 10 to 25 potatoes to the

important operation, in my opinion, fo .suc
cess, that of manqting. YYith thirteen
vears ejeperienoe, I have never been able,
OP rather never have used too much or too
strong manure. I know of nothing else
you njay uot injure by over quantity.—
With me my yield has'been in pcqpqsUon
to quantity and quality of manure. Fresh
horse manure, or dried without being wet,
always succeeds best. I spread around
each, potatoe over Iqilf peck of ttroupj -sta

one peek of cotton seed-=spread the ma

manure does nqt touch the potatoe, but as
near as possible uot to touch.. If tfie po

After the potatoe comes up it is absolutely
necessary to add more straw, tlpe more the

there—the preacher was at; prayer.—
Prayer being pyer, the .preacher read a
hymn—there was b r °th er Jepson close
by us—for upwards of twenty years we
have been accustomed to hear him lilt up
his voice Uk'e a trumpet, and we expected
to hear him again—the preacher read over
his hymn— lie then repeated the two first
lines for the siuging to commence. YYe
looked for Frank to rise and faise the tune
—but he moved not, he dhl’ut even seem
to know that the WP r fi s \\ad b,eca\ read out
—=whilc wc were wondering that fie did
not besin, we heard a noise behind us—^as
pearly as we can express it—boo-uq-oo-oo,
and then a good many voices broke out up
in the gallary into what we suppose was,
according to science, first rate singing. YY e
supposed it vyas according to science, he-
canap, besides hymn bftpks, most. qf them
scehw to feave fa, sol, la books, like those
old ^jgelpw used when in our younger
days he tried to beat music into or out ot
us—it was-no doubt excellent music, but
it did not sound to us like the full rich
notes of sister Shorter, nor the t.rq ,n P?t
tongs of brother Jepson—and we think it
would be a long ti l M? before under its influ
ence the old sister of th® \Y 0U ^ g ct
happy enough to shout.
In the mean time the balance of the
Congregation was silent, except now and
then i\ jow subdued hum as -if some one
anxious jq join in but afraid to intrude.- -
We looked around upon the congregation
aud saw uir t py of tlje old standards wb (>
looked, and seemei|‘to iujlee^
their “h ar P s We VP hung upon |h e YWU
lows.”
Wq haY e been aoejjstomed to hear- aim
believe it toto that siuging, particularly
when it is done with the spifit and With
the uncjerstapijjng alsfi, is on? of jbe most
profitable portions of public worship, but
we never felt it more fully thau on last
Sunday.
To the refined taste and tho cultivated
jpe VflfiP note of the untaught and un
scientific are doubtless sometimes harsh and
discordant, but they often gqsb fflrth fl : 9 u X
tbe heart filled witfi a spirit qf glpfiimss
and of praise and of fullness of jay, which
produces a melody which mere seienoo can
neyas reanjj—— wljich comes from the
heart qpfi g&ee to tlto b oa . r rt al ?4 iff'toSS to’*
ery sound and every fpqUflg jiRfj £¥£ r jf 3u te
into glorious uniqp'.
Music, like religion, maj r fie so spblima-
ted into scieqpe as to put it out of the reach
of the multitude, and so incumbered with
the forms aud trappings of show as to ren
der it at once too delicate and too cumbrous
for daily use, and fit, like fine dress, only
for Sunday aud holiday exhibitions.
We should like to hear tho ehoic uppn
“ The Old Ship qf Zion/' aqd “YV'e jl shout
and gq roqnd," and
‘•Old Farther Jfoah
And ten thousand more,''
gnfi cjjvcrs otjiers qf |h ose °]fi fl'tfi popular
songs wbl c it BP ttl0 multitude, like the
sound of a trumpet.
The time has been, when people went
to the Methodist Chureh forthe purpose of
worship and praise. Singing is the great
part Qf Iwrti in wbinb a11 ca « , C "SS” C - n
Is not meet that they sl}.oi|ld fie put off
from that privilege,’and be made to feel
that they are there to hear how well others
can sing. ,
Tfiere is an old song which says “YY hen
WC a!} gpt to Heayeu we will shout as loud
agaip,” anfi it is our opinion, fliat there
will be there no choirs to do the singing
for them but that every one will be allowed
to join in the shouting and singing too.—

is the result of a movement, made by the
minority of the last State Temperance
Convention. The action of tliaj, conven
tion was to the effect, that the Legislature
be requested to pqss a law putting into the
hands of the Inferior Court qf each coun
ty, when sittjqg for court purposes, the
power to trrant retail license, with the
power to discrimi.tate as they might sec
proper. Thus far the convention believed
public opinion was prepared to go and no
farther, and who is sq ignorant of human
nature as to believe that the cause qf tem-
pcranee, or any other pause, can be fqrced
Sead qf public opinion ? Was Aero ever
such a thiqg krr.-xn in a free government,
withstand di ought and remain mealy the
bottom straw must at all times remain wet.
I would here remark the quality of the
potatoe to solely owing to the wet straw
which has nqthiifg to do with producing
them, tji,e quantity manjire.
I have covered snjall qeds one inch deep,
broad cast, with pure, fresh stable manure,
it has yielded jn proportion. Never culti
vate the potatoe after it is planted- When
you go to use them a careful hand should
open the straw carefully when you may se
lect the largest and carefully restore fhe
straw agaip. ‘ '
I have been told by^peflfcns that they
had made fine potatoes and used no ina-
WqBR5 AND Qaths.—An l^nest man
js believed without his oath, for his reputa
tion swears for him. Xenocrates was a
man of such truth and fidelity, that the
Atlfeniaus gave him this privilege that
his eyjdhncc should be lawful without
swearing. Audit is said of Iabricus that
a'man might as well attempt to turn (he
sun opt of its course as to bring him \q do
a pause or dishonest act.
