The Board of Trade of Macon perfected its organization on the 24th inst. Hon. W. A. Huff, President; B. L. Willingham, First Vice President; H. T. Johnson Second Vice President. There is a strong probability that Vice-Pres ident Colfax will be impaeched on account of his implication in the Credit Jtobilier frauds and bribery. It is said that a majority of the House Judieiazy Committee favor a report for impeachment of Colfax. Charles W. Burnett, son of W. H.

He has called for an extra session of the U. S. Senate, to convene on the 4th of March. Some chang es will probably be n-ndo in his Cabinet, which will need the confirmation of the Sen ate, bonce the call for an extra session. It is said that tho administration for the next four years will be with a friendly and conserva tive policy towards the South. The Spanish Republic is reported to be in precarious condition, and is operating rath er badly. The country is divided into fac tions, and great excitement prevails, especi ally among the workingmen. The army is dissatisfied, and the Reactionists denounce Sickles, the American minister, as officiously active in Spanish politics. Severe fighting re ported in the North, and troops are hurrying to the scene of action. In one week .Cuthbert lost the following citizens by death: Ella Tumlin, youngest daughter of Wm. M.

I “The Patrons of Husbandry.” I Under the above heading, elsewhere in our columns will be seen an article, concemir ; an organization which has very recent; • Sprung up in our midst, and is now attractin ; the attention, and eliciting the best wishe. , of some of the ablest and most patriotic cit • zens of our State. It is a move in the rigl direction, and, as we understand it, it is . good institution, and we cheerfully coiamen . it to our readers. It has for its purpose tl ■ melioration of the condition of the farmei . of the country, and the object is commend; - ble. Why may not the farmers combine fc.' their own protection, and interest, and ben ■ fit ? We admit that these combinations do no at a first glance, seem to be in harmony wit the theory of our government, and in uniso . with the spirit of our institutions, and fi this reason we would wish that the organ'- zation may not become an engine of oppres sion or iiij us lice. But as matters exist at tL present times, when combinations seem to l the order of the day, and centralization i almost everything is the tendency of the ten ■ dency, of the age, we do not fear any ev; consequences fora; a combination of thehor est, sturdy yeomanry of our country, becaus they are attached to the fundamental princ pies of our government and in them lies the s; vation of our free republican institution!. and wo believe that the exigences of tho time demand such a combination. Within th last few years, grand political schemes hav been set forth to influence and control ov. State and Federal governments, and oncrou and unjust taxes have been taken from th working men of the land ; powerful railroa corporations have combined and demando high rates of freight for carrying the farmer products to market, and have otherwise mad unjust discriminations adverse to the interes 1 , of farmers; many unscrupulous “middl men” have become rich because they retail ed in their own hands the just duck of the; patrons ; unprincipled moneyed “rings” hav combined to fraudulently' extort our mone from us, or impair the credit of our State, an still under these adverse circumstances, th 1 honest sons of the soil have patiently toiled on even when they were aware that their hard earned gains were being filched from thei by the execrable harpies which have praye upon their substance. Now wo do not wisi to incur the wrath of any honest man, nor i it our purpose to make any invidious distinc tion of any class or calling of men, but w do most earnestly deprecate the buruousom taxation, and unfair dealings of which th farmers of the country have been the victims. But they are now waking up to their true in terests, and we hope that the organization o “The Patrons of Husbandry” may increase it numbers, and bo successful in its purpose so that it may become the balance of powe to check and restrain the unfair exaction; and centralizing tendencies of tho variou combinations which have preceded them. A Grange has been recently formed in thi county, and we hope onr citizens will foste its growth, promote its objects, and extent its influence. More anon. Killed While ATTEUPTira to Escape.-The Atlanta Constitution, is informed that Thos. O’Neal-of Clayton county, who was sentenced to be hung for murder, but whose sentence was commuted to life imprisonment, wa* killed at Grant, Alexander A Co’s on the night 21st, under the following circumstances; O’Neal had made an agreement with anoth er prisoner to overcome or kill the guard and make an escape. The other prisoner, from fear or some other cause, did not come np to the appointment Mr. O’Neal made a rush on his guard, capght him by the collar, and with uprai^pd hand brandishing a knife, was •in the act of plunging it into him, when an other of the guard fired upon him, killing him. Eleven buckshot entered .his body, one or two of them his heart. For Farmers and Mathematician*. Mr. Joel Coney, , a practical, intelligent, and successful farmer of Laurens county, finds that an acre of land,.laid off in diamond shaped figures, will accommodate a greater number of hills of com, and give a larger yield than laid off, as usual, in rectangles or squares. So much for the fanner. To the mathematician it presents a very pretty .problem to jshow why a greater num ber of hills is secured by Mr- Coney’s meth od- I would like .to see a solution in The Herald. jj, Pwnjx, Ga. , Feb.. 94, 187?, . Hymeneal. The Macon Telegraph of the 21st does thi matter up thus handsomely in regard to the marriage of our popular young townsman, S. M. Northington, F.sq., and Miss Sallia Shackelford, a lovely daughter of that city ; * The blushing orange blossoms blow' Amid her jet black hair; No maiden may with her compare, Most beautiful, most rare. On the night of the 20th inst. at the resi dence of Maj. Shackelford, Mr. S. II. North ington, of Sandersville, Ga., was united in the holy bans of matrimony, to Miss bailie H. Shackelford, of Macon, Ga. Rev. James O. Branch tied the mystic knot, and a numerous and fashionable assemblage of invited guests witnessed the ceremony. The beauteous bride was supported on this trying occasion by a brilliant coterie of atten dants whose names are as follows: Miss Clara Shackelford, Miss Leila Dougherty Miss Mollie Howes, Miss Carrie Butts, Mis3 Mattie Hunt, Miss Leila Ross, Miss Hennie Brown, Miss Susie Edwards, The aids and gentlemen in waiting of the gallant groom, were: E. A. Northington, W. W. Collins, J. A. Robson, TV. T. Ross, H. W. Woodruff, P. B. Mays, J. W. Banks, J. D. Newman. The tableaux vivants of the bridal party, as they stood upon the floor, was striking and most beautiful. Vigorous manhood in its prido and glory contrasted finely with the gentle loveliness of the peerless maidens, whose feminine charms were the admiration of the beholders. And the youthful pair, blushing, conscious, and happy, received with grace and dignity the congratulations of their friends. Not one conireiemp or note of discord disturbed tho perfect harmony of the evening, while a feast of good things, and the merry jest and the pleasures of social inter course, heightened the enjoyment of every guest. To the happy couple we can only say, may all <5f life’s journey be as thickly strewn with flowers as the first stage upon which they have ju3t entered. *■ •<» Brain Worry. The effects of last year’s political campaign seem to have been peculiarly detrimental to a number of the distinguished men of the country. The cases of impaired health, and mortality among them have been remarkable during.tho Last six or eight months. Senator Sumner, who was not in good health before, was threatened with serious results on ac count of the excitement and overtaxed enegies of his mind, and was compelled to abandon the campaign, and recruit himself in Europe. Hon. Linton Stephens, whose sudden death was so much deplored by the citizens of this State, perhaps died from the severe effects of brain work and worry. Hon. Hor ace Greeley, died form a grif-stricken heart, and overlabored and worried brain. The much lamented Gen. A R. Wright, died from a lingering fever which affected his brain, and which was caused, very probably, from constant mental work and worry during the campaign in which he was elected as a mem- of Congress. Severe mental labor is ascribed as the cause of the sudden death of ex-Gov. Geary, who died recently at Harrisburg, Pa, while sitting at his breakfast table. Constant mental toil and straining will wear out the strongest constitution. The mind must have rercation, and the boby must have rest Exces sive mental exertion affects the nervous cen ters, the vital force of the physical functions is weakened, then' the foundations of the health of the intellectnaf laborer is sapped, and a premature death is the ^inveitable con sequence. _ " Civil War Imminent. Affairs in Louisiana are still in a deplorable condition. The two so-called governments of that State continue'to contend for the supremacy. In the U. S. Senate on the 24th inst, in a discussion concerning the Caldwell corruption, and the proposition to postpone, Senator Carpenter said that the case of Louisi ana did demand legislation, and if not acted upon at this session, there was imminent danger of civil war and blood-shed in that State. Gen. Dick Taylor is in Washington with a proposition for the settlement of the muddle. His proposition is, that the Lynch Returning Board shall canvass the returns, and whoever they may return as elected, shall be considered the legally constituted State Government ana Legislature of the State. The President informed the Committee on Privileges and Elections that ho would send a special message to the Senate witn his views on the subject and asking for the necessary legislation to enforce them. The President al so said he would recognize*the Kellogg gov ernment as legal, in case Congress should adjourn withoutjtaking action on the subject, and would take measures to assure its undis puted authority. Letter From Laurens- Editors Herald:—Is it possible, that after so many long years as journalists you are obliged to answer your correspondent, *■ Country man," that you do not know a re liable nurseryman? If you really do not, and if you have not profited by dealing with some of those who stand at the very head of their profession, and reside here in our own State, I very much fear you have practiced very lit tle of what you preach to your readers, on the subject of fruit culture. Please inform “Countryman” that he need not go one step further than the “Fruitland Nurseries,” at Augusta, Ga., to procure every variety of each kind of fruit he may desire. More than this ; he will precure from its pro prietor, Mr- P. J. Berckman, the best rooted, and best groien trees, (of every variety,) grown by any nurseryman in the South. I speak from experience, nnd this is the best school to lcam fruit culture. Advise your friend to plant his trees iD early winter, (Nov.), and get his order on file at the nursery by 15th, of October, and he will get first choice of trees. While it is not yet too late to trans plant, yet if your young trees are not severely pruned, the preponderance of tops over root growth will be so great as to shorten the life of your tree, if not the value of the same in bearing qualities. But I am digressing, my object being only to refer your readers, and particularly “Countryman,” to tbeFruitland Nurseries, at Augusta, Ga., presided over by that Prince of HoriicuUuralists, P. J. Berckman, so well known throughout the United States for his honesty, and thorough education and experience as a Pomologist. Of all things else, let me beg your readers to beicare of those monster humbugs, Fruit tree peddlers. Yours. . OBITUARY. Fell asleep in Jesus at shoals of Ogee*hee, at l o’clock, P. M., Tuesday 4th day of Feb ruary 1873, Mrs. Hattie F. Warthen wife of Thos. Warthen, aged about 30 years. Not withstanding a lingering disease had clasped her in its rigid coil, yet her summon was sudden; she conversed as usual with the family at 10 A. M.—a few short hours, and her spirit had flown. Endowed by nature with a sweet disposi tion, genial manners and handsome features, she was at once a lovely, a noble woman. At an early age she evinced a desire to join the Christian flock and was received into the il. E. church at Rock J/ills Hancock coun ty, Ga., of which church she was a consistent - member at her death. With tho same calm Christian resignation that marked her few months of lingering, she met tho grim mes senger with, “My time has come,” and she “passed oyer the river.” Many friends and relatives mourn the un timely death of one so loved, nor yet do they murmur at the workings of that Providence whose ways are mysterious—inscrutable— “Thine, not mine, O Lord be done.” May thy little Nannie Lou, so early bereft, live in the inspiration of thy sweetness and goodness to the solace of a kind, loving, provident father and may her babbling, “Loire me papa, mama’s dead" ever reflect thy image, echo thy love into the heart of him who “loved thee without ceasing—with a devotion boundless.” ^9* Southern Christian Advocate please copy. Died at his residence, in Washington coun ty, Ga., on Monday, the 24th of this month, Henry Duett, in his SGfch year, he was born in Jefferson eounty, Ga., in the year 1787. Henry Brett was a soldier in the British war of 1812, being then in the prime of life, 25 years »f age, and very stout with strong con stitution, made a good soldier. He married Elizabeth Hobs when quite young, they rai: ed eleven children to be grown men and women, nine of them with many grand and great grand children are now living to mourn their loss, but they do not mourn as for one v/ho has died without hope, but for a good and true Christian, an honest man, tho no blest work of God. The writer of this short sketch, knew Henry Brett long and well, and in all the relations of life when unable to pay his debts promptly, would keep try ing, never taking advantage of his creditors, but at lenght, by industry and honesty, paid all his debts and left the world owing no man anything. Henry Brett lias been a good and acceptable member of the Mission ary Baptist Churc i, at New Bethel for many years and until his health from old age ren dered him unable to attend his church meet ings was always in bis seat to uphold and encourage his pastor. We are told to walk in the way of holiness and it will lead to tho kingdom; fight against sin and Satan and we shall receive the crown; forsake the world and the doors of Heaven will bo opened to receive ns, as we believe Henry Brett is now inheriting a better country. The Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are the temple there. A Fblend. Complimentary. New Bethel, Feb. 22, 1873. Whereas, Elder L. J. Harrison has labor ed among us as Pastor for some thirteen years, and for four years before he was call ed as Pastor he assisted Father Isaac Smith until Father Smith's death, and as such we feel we should express our highest esteem for him and his labors so faithfully among us, having added many to the Baptist cause at this place. Therefore, Resolved, That Elder L. J. Harrison is a faithful and efficient Minister of the Gospel of onr blessed Saviour, and as such we do recommend him to the consid eration of all people. Resolved, That in his removal, by resig nation, from us we feel a great loss, but we have the consolation that what is our loss will be the gain of those among whom broth er Harrison may labor. Resolved, That the church give her earn est sympathies and prayers for the welfare of Bro. Harrison and his beloved family, wherever God in his providence may cast their lot. Resolved, That a copy of these resolutions be presented to Bro. Harrison, a copy sent to the Hebald and Central Georgian for pub lication, and a copy spread upon our Church book. Done by order of the Church iu Con ference. J. M. HARRISON, Clerk. Oce Mistake.—Ode Apology. In our last issue we inadvertently made an error, for which we now offer atonement. In our an swer to a communication from ‘Countryman,’ we said we did not know any reliable nursery man, but since the writing of that article our attention has been called to an advertisement in our columns of a firm that is reliable and worthy of patronage ; we refer to the firm, J. H. Parson A Co, proprietors of the “Savan nah Sales Garden.” By a few circmstances which came before us recently, we hadreceiv- ed the iaipession upon our mind that those gentlemen were dealers only in flowers, bulbs and garden proudets Ac, hence we did not refer onr enquirer to them, but they are also dealers in fruit tuees, guape vines, Ac. , and we recommend them to our readers. The mistake was not intentional on our part, and we now offer this apology as amends for what may have seemed to be a disregard for oar friends. We beg pardon, and bespeak for this firm a liberal patronage. New Advertisements. Notice to the Public.
