Knilroad Eitnitdoii. At pr< wmt the most stuiHmdouu nioasure be fore the legislature is a bill granting ftrv vuUion* dollars State aid to the extension of the Atlantic A Gulf Railroad. It is claimed the State has one million invested in tharoud.aud by thin time ly aid cahoot only revitalize its torpid energies, but make it a saht and prolUnbk* iuveatmotif, w ith chiiucoH for a prospective thirty-five per emit. divid* iid. Numerous tabular statement* are furnished by the zealous parties interested, showing the commerce ot No' a anil Mobile, and the amount of travel anil freightage likely to be di verted by the extension of proposed line. Now, while all this may be very clear, and w hile Georgia’s interests might be better protected by the proposed aid.it is a strikingly noticeable fact at the present time that the pressing de mands of our finances forbid any outside diver sions ol tho public funds from their legitimate lines* The State is no condition to extend the aid. Besides, if lur exchequer were full, the precedent set would be objectionable because of its furtherance of private, enterprise. The State should afford to wait for the realization of her large dividends, and liend all of her energies, at present, to the gradual liquidation of her bond ed and other indebtedness. It is also questional w hether so large an in vestment is Judicious, w hen the property created thereby shall be subject to the legislation of Ala bama. Gan we, as a State exercise any control of the extension to Bollard? We say if sneb permission wvre granted, flier* would be conJliet of Stab 1 authority before the lapse of twelve months. We think a better plan to solve tho difficulty would he the sale of tlic State’s inter est in the Atlantic A Gulf Hoad to private indi vidual* or a corporation. Georgia Krfiudinteri Bonds. Thomas L. Sneed, of New York City, agent and representative for the parties holding the il legal bonds issued under Bullock, has made a very important proposition to Governor Smith, j lie proposes to surrender all these bonds to the j State for eatieellation, on condition that the State shall refund to the holders the original I sum invested, say $*.,700.0110, iu legal State * bonds bt aring seven per cent interest, lit fur- I flier proposes to loan tbe State suc h other sums !as she may desire, amount not to exceed sl,- 000,000. As there is likely to grow out of the fraudulent issue some very vexed quest ions that will militate against four State credit, we think tho Legisla ture would do well, and act for the welfare of tin- country, to accept Mr. Sneed’s proposition. Although we consider the payment of one dollar of these bonds a clear loss to the State, there is no question but that the acceptance of this offer will relieve our State finances of an inconveni ent pressure at this juncture, to say nothing of tbe enhanced value that will attach to all our le gal bonds now hold in New York and Europe. While our bonds are quotably higher on the New York boards than those of any Southern State, it is a significant fact that they are not tn kuu at uIL Tho howl set up against us at the conclusion of the labors of the Georgia Bond | Committee in New York, by Henry Glows,seems | to have had ite efiect in injuring our fiuauciul standing abroad. Our refusal u> moot promptly the payment of tbe infamous Bullock bonds,they pronounce boldly a quasi repudiation of our iu del<U diu sH. While we are willing and able to sustain all legitimate indebtedness ot the State government, we are not ready to surrender our resources and fair fame to a set of corrupt bond j gamblers, who regard no more the demands of j right and justice than tlidjWb th<3 infamous memory of their puppet, Bullock. Gov. Smith has sought very eminent on this question, and it is thought that at an early day he w ill recommend the 1 .egtaluku‘s' accept the proposition of tho bond holders, oL ft*red through Mr. Sneed. ♦ • A Goon Kuutou> Comiwny xni> Fine Om cF.iis.

Since the German War, the territory has been reduced to 122,000,000acres,of which two-thirds are cultivated and one-third is arable. About 5,000,000 are iu vineyards and us many more acres are planted in gardens and orchards.

When Julius Ca snr conquered Gnal, he found these Paris ii in possession of Lutctia, which they defemled bravely, but filially yielded to the Roinuu General. In the course of years, Lutctia became the capital of all North Gaul. In tho Fifth Century, Clovis, at the head of the Franks, conquered it, and himself embraced Christianity. In the Twelfth Century, Phillip Augustus built the Castle of the Louvre, paved the streets and built many churches. The Schools were all united under a common name of University. Charles the Fifth. Sixth, uud Seventh succeeded each other,and during the hitler’s reign a terrible pestilence au*l famine en sued, and wolveaiprowled along the streets. This was 1437 and 143N. Under the reign of Louis XI the city reached 300,000 souls and enjoyed great prosperity. In 1470 the first printing press and post-office were established. Religions wars wvre commenced under Charles IX which ended with the massacre of St. Bartholomew. About this time the Tuiileries and Hotel de Ville were commenced, which ended the brilliant but ex travagant reign of Louis XIV, who built the pre sent palace at Versailles, one of the most gor geous picture galleries in the world. Louis XV succeeded; followed by Louis XVI, then, the Revolution, restoration of the Bourbons, Ac. From 1830 to 1848 Louis PhiUippe added new lustre and brilliancy to the throne and his reign was marked by many of the most rapid advances. ; In 1848 the Revolution came, Napoleon 111. was President; iu 1852, Emperor, and then twenty years of peace and almost uninterrupted prosperity marks his reigu.

Official reports show in Ohio au annual loss of sheep of $1,000,000 iu injuries a loss eqhiyalent to (>,000,000 pounds of wool, or a tax of two per cent, upon the total ■ sum inverted in sheep in that State. It is stud | that iu two years, from 18tkS to 1870, Illinois I sank from the sixth to the ninth rank among , the States iu the number uud value of its sheep, j and this great falling off is attributed to the pro-1 portiouate increase in the number of dogs, an*l the lack of proper legislation to prevent their ravages among the sheep.

Death of Commodore Maury.- The Tele graph yesterday evening announced the death of Commodore Matthaw Fontaine Maury, which oocured at one r. m. at hi* rerideuc© in Lex ington, Va. Mot only will the sad news bo re ceived with deepest regret throughout the South, to whose cause he dedicated and devoted some of the best years of his life, but by tbe country at large and by the entire civilized world, that has been benefitted by his devotion to science, his researches and discoveries. Few Americans have ever attained the enviable distinction among the scientific men of the old world—few have worn their laurels with so much modesty as he. Among the more important of his works were the “Letters Upon tho Amazon," “The At lantic Elopes of Booth America, “The Relation Between Magnetism and the Circulation of the Atmosphere,’’ "Observations Upon the cal Geography of the Sc*," etc. At the break ing out of the Lite war, he was in charge of the national observatory, but. with others of the old army and navy, believing hi* allegiance should ; l >(* first to his State, he tendered his sword to the young Confederacy, and served through all the vicissitudes attending its brief career.

The introduction of the terms (redit I'oncicr I and Credit Mobilier iuto America are due to I Mr. George Francis Train.

The heaviest corn crop ever grown in the United States was that of last v*ar, which the Agricultural lioport states at the huge total ot 1,1000,000,000 bushels. Not only is this the largest crop, but it is said to be com of better quality anil of greater intrinsic value than usual lowa was the banner corn-growing State, her average being nearly forty-one bushels an acre. Unfortunately for some ot those who would like to have the lowa corn, it takes the price of four bushels of said corn to get one bushel to the Atlantic markets. This is one of the reasons why some people are demanding cheaper trans portation between tho West and the East.

WM. C. DUKES & CO., General Agents, 0. D. Gorman, agent [jan3o-2m] Charleston, 8. C! SjPeudletoii’s Guano Compound. \ \ ? 0 < - For three years this Fertilizer has been fully tested, and has given entire satisfaction. We can not afford to sell cheaper withont depreciating the article, which we will not do. Its uniformity has been fully tested both by analysis and experiment each year, reflecting great credit on the ca pacity and integrity of our manufacturer. Our agent at Blakely, Ga., wrote us, that many would buy ours in preference,if we would sell as cheap as another article extensively used in that section. This article costs the planter at Blake ly less than ours costs ns laid down at the same place. How can we sell it as chep ? This cheap article, ou our experinicut plat this year, failed to pay for itself .by 9 cents per acre, while ours paid a nett profit of $10.27 per acre on the price sold to customers. It is also worth of note that 200 our Guano Comdound, costing $66 a ton, applied to an an a are, only costs 86 cents more thaithe cheapest at 551.40 per ton. If it makes only 15 lbs. more of seed cotton, it pays the differe in dost: 101 lbs.will pay the whole cost of the fertilizer. In 1871, on inv plat, 200 lbs. made 41®>s. more than natural tori; in 1870, 540, and in 1872, 297 lbs. B. T. Harris, of Hancock eot*y, made 390 lbs. more; John E. Smith, of McDuffie, with 126 lbs., made 321 in excess; Col. E. .T. Tlocitr and Rov. T. B. West, of Columbia county, made with 300 lbs. per acre each 655 and 592 pounds more than natural soil, and for the last three years I made 623, 707 and 307 pounds with 300 pounds per acre more than the natural soil.
