The Legislature adjourned sine die on Tuesday night last A large number of the members had left before the final ad journment The Senate, as we learn, left much business unfinished. The House was nearly or qnite up. _ By reference to the proceedings, elsewhere in our columns, of a meeting held in this city on the 18th inst., it will be seen that Washington county endorses the candidacy of Hon. A H. Stephens, for Congress. Let ns give him a full vete. The following appointments by the Gover nor were confirmed by the Senate on 17th, inst: John W. H.

Suggestions to Planters. “While heard from dale to dale, Waking the breeze, resounds the blended voice Of happy labour, love, and social glee.” Those of our readers who are disciples of the rural deities, Ceres and Pan, will remem ber that we gave them, a few weeks ago, two articles under the head of “Suggestions to Planters,” which we promised to extend at some futrue time. In the last, we mentioned Hi* importance of forming district or neigh borhood clubs, we also promised to mention some of the advantages which would attend upon such a course. Bat we will first sug gest, in relation to these meetings, another item, which, it appears to ns, would be of a great^d vantage. Let the elnb, or society, be formed as we proposed first, and let these farmers take their wives with them to their regular meetings, and letftheir wives deliber ate with them on subjects pertaining to agri- cultural and horticultural pursuits. Now j*u needn’t make light of this suggestion, gentlemen, for women have discovered that they do have rights, and ho mast be a very im polite and reckless man, indeed, who dares to ignore, or question the rights of woman, and he might in some instances be in serious danger from the broomBtick. But jesting aside, we are an advocate of woman’s rights, not such masculine rights as are clamored for by Susan B. Anthony, Tennie Claflin, and others of that ilk, but of the rights of the modest, gentlewoman, and industrious house wife. These ladies might profitably relate their experience and experiments in garden ing; state their mode of preparing and plant ing a garden, the best plan for the culture of vegetables, the best and most palatable way of serving them for the table, and tney might also make some useful and interesting notes, in relation to the hygienic properties of their They might also relate tlfeir ex perience and obesrvation8 with regard to theirpoultry; learn which are the most thrif ty and hardy breeds; which are the best for producing eggs; in fact, they might very agreeably entertain each other in this way, by a variety of useful and interesting subjects pertaining to the poultry-yard, and the culi nary and horticultural departments of the household. The benefits to be derived from such a course as we have mentioned are numerous and instructive. It will improve our country men in the art of elocution, and will have a tendency to remove the embarrassment which is experienced by many, when they happen to be called upon on any sudden occasion to address an audience, or to return thanks at a table, or as it is generally termed, “ask ing a blessing.” In this republican country where almost every man may aspire to some position of dignity, it would not look well to be abashed at trival circumstances. Let these things be practiced, and let us learn to do the honors of any occasion with grace, ease, and elegance. Great benefits would also result from these meetings in asocial point of view, neighbors would become better acquainted and more attached to each, other your neigh- borlfl>od would become more attractive, your schools would be better, your churches would have" a better attendance,the moral influences which would surround your children would have a more elevating and ennobling tenden cy, your real estate would be enhanced in value and many - more advantages would attend such a course, of which we have given only the outlines, the details of which may be in ferred and practiced by you. The herdsman would then endeavor to make his flocks of a better character, and there would be joy at these meetings, where The house-wife waits to roll her fleecy stores. With all her gay-drest maids attending round. One, chief; in gracious dignity enthroned, Shines o’er the rest, the pastoral queen, and rays • Her smiles, sweet beaming, on her shepherd —king; • While the glad circle round them yield their souls To festive mirth, and wit that knows no galL The laborer weald Strive to better the yield*, of his nicely cultivated fields; the husband man would reap finer harvests, and thus every Industry would receive a new impetus, and ere long the good results would be seen and felt, and sometimes, in taking a retro spective view, we might truthfully exclaim, Hence every form of cultivated life In order set,|protected, and inspired, Into perfection wrought Uniting all, Society grew numerous, high, polite, And happy. A Flimsy Dodge.—Stokes, the murderer of Col Jame^ Fisk, in New York, has been feigning insanity* recently, as he had al most despaired of getting any other way to keep (himself from pulling hemp. Judge Davis’ late decision in the matter, grants a stay of proceedings, and the case will now be heard hy a full bench. It will make a de lay of two months probably. Bibkasck. Poisoned.—An extinct from a private letter from Berlin, is published in the St. Louis Democrat, stating that Bis- marck’s illness is due to poisoned letters which he has handled. He is so troubled with ^dizziness that he scarcely leaves his house. His wife reads his correspondence end she is also troubled with a feebleness which cannot be accounted for. Grant A joint committee, consisting of Hon. John Sherman on the put of the Senate, Hon. H. L Dawes and Him. James B. Beck on the part of the House of Reprssentatives, of the P. S. Congress, called at the Executive Man sion on Wednesday of last week, and official ly informed President Grant of his re-elec tion as President of the United States, and complimented his administrative abilities. The President responded in a. few remarks, expressing his sincere appreciation of the satisfaction of the people with his adminis tration, and said that he should continue to endeavor to make his administration one which would merit, not only the approval of the great party which elected him, but of all the people of the United States. The Committee then called on Hem. Henry Wilson, and informed him of his election as Vice-President, and congratulated him on the high honor conferred upon him by the people. Mr. Willson thanked them for thier expression of good will and respect, and thankfully accepted the high trust confided to him. He said he should strive to dis charge the duties of the position assigned with zeal, fidelity, and impartiality. For the Herald. Unnoticed Heroes. “He that ruleth his own spirit is greater than he that taketh a city. History abounds in heroic deeds, and for a rmm or woman so to live as to have his or her name recorded in the chronicles of the age, in connection with noble acts, is about the acme of human glory. But there are those in the quiet walks of life who are os truly brave as were those renown ed heroes. Thousands contend by night and by day against the evils of life, and all the more nobly, because ambition does not prompt their actions. Many have beheld their brightest dreams depart, and seen their sweetest hopes decay. O, how many bear their sorrows with a brok en heart! Their golden idols have been turn ed into clay, and they must bow at another shrine. How many by their sweet fames and loving deeds, have brought the erring back ta virtue’s path! Mark that cross-tasking husband, as he en ters his own dwelling, aoowUng and mutter ing at something his wife has or has not done while she replies meekly, and looks calm, though her heart aches with anguish and her tongue burns for permission to retaliate. She well knows the strength of her enemy, and while she may never conquer him, she will keep him so beseiged with an army of kind words and gentle deeds that he can only make an occasional sally. Thus passes, perhaps, most of the married life of this devoted wo man, the honey-moon excepted. Yet no histo rian records her deeds of value, no publio speaker mingles her name with words of elo quence. Her reward is by and by. Again: Contemplate that noble Christian man, honorable in all his dealings, yet scarce ly daring t# consult his wife, or to act with out consulting her, leather ire be excited, and his peace of mind endangered. Though he is as kind as husband can be, yet many things will occur to irritate the wife, who allows her temper to be raffled. Not unfre- quently she torments him, to gratify some childish whim; and when told that it is out of his power, or contrary to his judgment, her angry, npbraidings are anything but pleasant Perhaps the married pair .do not keep many servants, and husband becomes waiting-man for wife and babes. Why, hav en’t we seen men the veriest slaves to their domineering wives and spoiled children? And have we not seen these same men apparently cheerful and happy, little dreaming that they bore the reproach of being “hen-pecked hus bands’? True heroism, aided by Divine grace, sometimes enables such men so to endure, that domestic storms seldom distort their placid faces. “But,” says your stronghead- ed man, whose angel of a wife never crosses him. ‘ ‘I imagine a little more heroism would enable those down-trodden husbands to throw off the shackles of female despotism.” Not sofastsir: you have never tried it. When a man marries a woman because he loves her, as all men should do, and she happens to possess a selfish, exacting disposition, while he is generous and patient the temper of the wife is liable, unless subdued by religion, so to controll her actions as that in the course of time the husband becomes almost a meni al. TBs bonds may be laid on link by link, until he is scarcely aware of their existence. But suppose he suspects such a thing, what can he do? Raise a fuss in the family! No; his wife may possess so many redeeming qualities, that the world considers her a very desirable companion. He knows that resist ance on his part will produce endless strife, and wisdom dictates that ‘ ‘what cannot be cured must be endured.” Truly, he “has trials that the world knowns not of,” Head er, his is a hard coBe, but he is a true hero, and deserves more praise than did the great Napoleon. But few persons find it -in their hearts to appreciate such fortitude. They are rather inclined to let him share the con tempt they feel for the tyrant who degrades him. Yet he will uo doubt get his reward. Would it not be well for those husbands and wives who require so much heroism in their companions, to exorcise a little i themselves in overcoming their ‘‘besetting sins ?” And would it not bo more commend able if mothers were to employ more hero ism in training their children aright? Sure ly there con be no greater heroine in all the pages of history, than a truly pious mother, one who, knowing her duty discharges it at all hazards. I, a woman, can at least ap preciate the fortitude with which she p<*- sesses her soul,. when despite distracting cares, crazing headaches, and crushing heart aches, she calmly and unflinchingly meets and overcomes every obstacle that lies in the path of duty. The mother who does this successfully, deserves a high position in the temple of fame. Nor will she be wanting in laurels. The noble deeds of her offspring will bind upon her brow greener leaves than those of Olympic renown; while her name is embalmed in memories sweeter than East ern spices; and best of all, written in the Lamb’s Book of Life. Incognito. Ratification Meeting in Washington. Pursuant to a suggestion made in the Sax- debsville Herald of last {week, a goodly num ber- of the citizens of Washington county, assembled in the Court-house on Tuesday the 18th inst. On motion of Col. B. D. Evans, Hon. Hay wood Brookins was called to. the chair and 8. G. Jordan elected Secretary of the meeting. Upon the Chairman requesting some one to state tiie object of the meeting, CoL B. D. Evans rose and annotqiced the purpose to be to take into consideration the action of the meeting in Atlanta in January last, which nominated the Hon. Alexander H. Stephens as a candidate for Congress to fill the cy occasioned by the death of Gen. A & Wright. CoL Evans stated that be was meant at the meeting in Atlanta, and could bear tes timony to Uie great unanimity of feeling in the nomination among the representatives of the several counties composing the Eighth Congressional District, and to the ready withdrawal of all other aspirants tor Con gressional honors, in Mr. Stephens’ tovor, when his name was brought forward. CoL £. dwelt in an impressive manner an the rateable services hitherto rendered Mr. Stephens on the floor ofrCongreeo, spake of the profound respect his presence teen would now command, and paid an eloquent tribute to the giant intellect and exalted rep utation of the renowned statesman, histori an and scholar, whom he denominated the “Great Common r. He now submitted the following Preamble and Beaolutions which were unanimously adopted: Pbeamble and Resolutions. Whereas, at a meeting of citizens of the Eighth Congressional District and the repre sentatives of the different counties in the legislature, having met in primary mi i it B Hon. B. P. Trippe has been appointed and confirmed one of the Judges of the Su preme Court of Georgia. Why Judgo Mont gomery was not retained upon the Bench—- a position he has filled with great credit—is a littiestrange. Believing that great injus tice had been done Judge M., the Senate at first refused to confirm Judge Trippe.

We merely wished to impress upon those who have been negligent or earless, the im portance of a regular delivery of our news paper. If ybu have clerks employed, examine carefully their actings and doings and see that there is not a dereliction of duty on their part. The duties of publishers and Post masters are very nearly allied. We print and publish newspapers for the benefit of the people, and Post masters are to deliver for the benefit of the people, and a newspaper can not be truly published until it is properly delivered to its subscribers, and we now most respectfully request all Post masters .to co operate with us in properly circulating Tn Herald, and extending its inflneaoa as a medium of communication to the public.

We are sorry to say that we cannot at this time give the desired information. We hope onr friends will interest themselves enough in the matter, to present the communication to some reliable nurseryman, whom some of them may know, and request him to send ns a cord for publication. We dare say that a small investment in advertising would pay thribble as much as the same amount expend ed in any other way. We are glad to see that there is some interest being manifested in the culture of fruit; it is a branch of in dustry in which onr people ought to engage more extensively. In the summer time there is nothing that we all would like better to have, than a plenty of good fruit; it is agreeable to our appetites, and refreshing to our bodies; it is a great saving to a family in the way of provisions; the selling of it is profitable, and a good source of individual re.enue, last, but by no means the least ad vantage of having good fruit, it serves to promote good health,'and thus great gains may be made in the physical economy of a family.

Editors Herald : Allow me to call your attention to a griev ance that is causing murmurs “net lond but deep,” in this section of country amongst the Laborers, both white and black. It is the Road Laws. Every able bodied man in the District is compelled, when called upon, to work the public Roads not more than 10 days in the year, ^generally G.) Now in this glorious country we have equal rights-, let us have equal taxation. One man in the District has Land, Stock Ac., value say S10,000; another has nothing, glad to get a dollar for his day’s labor—yet both are equal before the Road law altho one pays in proportion to his income one hun dred, fold more’ than the other and this I think ought to be a property and not a capi tation Tax.

Horace Greeley’s estate is said to be worth one hundred and twenty thousand dollars. Besides this amount there are about one hun dred thousand in bad debts and worthless securities. It is said that C. Vanderbilt, jr. is indebted to the estate about fifty thousand dollars borrowed money. Commodore Van derbilt has given five thousand dollars to eooh of Mr. Greely’s daughters, and says they can have what money they uri SI 0y tiuw. from Got. Smith. Assembly: * I "respectfully invite your attention to the following statement iff claims upon the Treas ury of the State, to meet which,, provision should be made at your present scssio 1. Bussell Sage of the city of New York, claims that the State of Georgia is indebted to him in the sum of $375,000 for loans made to the State during the administration of Governor Bullock. To secure the payment of this sum, with interest, currency bonds, amounting in the aggregate to $530,000 were deposited with Mr. Sage. Subsequentto the time of this deposit, there ware also deposit ed in his hands the amount of $500,000of the grid quarterly bonds of the State, with the understanding, as he claims, that the name were to be held as additional security for the payment of the sum of money borrowed. It is proper that I should here remark the* ill tee bonds deposited with Mr. Sags, as afore said, are admitted to be valid obligations of the State. 2. It will be seen by reference to the re port of the Comptroller General and of tea treasurer, already transmitted to the Gener al A ssembly that the amount sfthegold quar terly bonds iosuod by Gov. Bullock, ana ad mitted to be valid, i% $2,986,000. The inter est am these bonds since October 1st, 1871 must be provided for at tee present session. This amount including tee interest to the fir* day of January 18?4 may be stated at $567,000. 3. The amount of bonds of the State issued in 1842 and 1843 falling due the present year is $137,000. Provisions should be made for the payment of these bonds at the present session. 4. The reports of tee Comptroller General and of the Treasurer, already^transmitted, show teat bonds of the State amounting to $251,500 will become due during the year 1874. It will become .necessary to provide for the payment of those bonds during your present session. . 5. The interest on tee public debt for the last half of tee year 1873, and tee first half of the year 1874, amounting to $561,935, should be provided for at vour present session. 6. Provision should also be made for the payment of the claims against tee Western ana Atlantic Railroad, which from informa tion recently obtisned by me, I believe will not amount to more than $75,000. 7. It will be neeessaky to raise for the pay ment on the ordinary expenses of the govern ment, including the legislative pay roll, the sum of $600,000. That tee whole of these demands upon the Treasury may be seen at one view, I present the following tabular statement: 1. 'To meet Bussell Sage’s claim $ 375,000 2. To pay interest on gold bonds to January 1st, 1874 567,000 3. To pay bonds of the State falling due this year 137,000 4 To pay bonds hilling due in 1874. 251,000 5. Te pay interest oh public debt.. 591,935 6. Unpaid claims against Western and Atlantic Bailroad 75,000 7. Ordinary disbnrsemenis of the State Government, including leg islative pay roll 600,000 Total $2,576,435 From the foregoing' statement it will be seen that the demands upon the treasury of the State, to meet which provision should be made at your present session, amount to $2,. 576,435. Our means of meeting this large demand upon the treasury, are first by tax ation ; second, by funding such portions of said claims as do not fall within the ordinary current expenses of the Government. The value of the taxable property of the State, as shown by the report of the Com ptroller-General, is something over $226,- 000,000. There is no reason to doubt that this val uation would be increased, upon an honest appraisement to $250,000,000. But even at this increased valuation, justice to ourselves forbids that we should rely upon this source alone to raise the amount required. Many of the citizens of tee State have found it very difficult to pay the taxes imposed by the present law. If the present rate should be doubled, it would be found, in many in stances impossible for tee people to comply with the demands of the tax-gatherers with out parting with their homes and household goods. By adopting regulations which would secure an honest appraisement of tee taxa ble property of the State, and by adopting such measures as will result in funding tee claims above stated except such hs are in cluded in the current expenses of tee gov ernment, even tee present rate of *»«««» may be reduced without detriment to tea public service. From the .foregoing statement it will be seen that the amount of claims upon the -Treasury necesssry to be provided for at tea present session is very large. I submit tee a neetion ef the ways and means for meeting iesc claims and for relieving the publio credit from its present embarrassed condi tion to the wisdom and patriotism of the repnosntativaa of the people.

He was a kind and good man. All who knew him loved him. As a husband and parent he was kind and indulgent. To his bereaved family his loss is irreparable. As a Minister of the Gospel he was faithful. Prompted by love to his Master he delighted to do His will.— Truly may it be said, that a good man has ceased from his labors and gone to reap his reward. Resolved, That a blank page be left in the minntes of this Lodge in commemoration of his departure, containing tee dates of [his birth and death. Resolved, That we tender the bereaved family onr sympathies in this their severe affliction, and that we offer them any assist ance that we are able to render. Resolved, That the Sandebsvillb be requested to publish these proceedings, and that a copy be sent to the family of the deceased, and that the same be spread upon the minutes of this Lodge. E. J.

RESULTS : Upon less than three acres, 144 bushels anil- 943 large bundles fodder. I selected 250 ears from the field. Seventy-five ears shelled one bushel; exhibited at the State Fair. Sold the Com for four dollars, and won the prize of ten dollars for the best bushel of Com. The soil upon which this crop grew is an Indian old field, and has been in cultivation over eighty years—having worked it myself" forty-eight years., This field did not yield, last year, ten bushels per acre.
