And its prigress of late years baa been no less
Nwtoutiding than demoralizing, drawing a* it

couibinations am growing into enormities in the
land. Thoir agents peuctrate every department
of fiiuxtii'e and commerce,and spread their wily
mc-MheM to entrap aud control through the force
of consolidation.
What is the remedy for this evil? Have our
public men become commodities to bo bought
und exchanged ? Can we not avert this tide of
villiuny in low and high places? Our only rc
courc is to the jieacefiil matmiueutalitivn of ed
ucated morality, als aUliy home sentiment of
honesty, which shall mo condemn bribe taking
and the sacrifice of honor, as to render im|K>ssi
bie the enjoy ment of gain* by jrs/ual *nrren

in them all powers of government are inherent.

of civil polity subverted, a* a natural sequence,
the public setvics lanst share the same nature of

Good Templars 9 H< m ilt.
The Charades at the Masonic Hall Thunsluy
and Friday nights, for the benefit of the Good
Teinplant, were a decided success. The parts
were well taken, und not a tew displayed a skill
i for low ouiueily that uould Imve done honor t.<
more practiced amateurs. Indeed we would lik
to see our youug gentlem* u and ladies engage
m this cu rciae to a greater extent, and ther by
not only s bum** and iirntruct, but cultivate and
! develop a taste for comedy and tragedy.
Among the most notable of the puces presented
"ii Friday night was Tr*;< ions Tickle," wilh an
appropriate coat of characters illustrating com
ical oddities, and laughable absurdities. The
characters iu “Treciou* Ticklo" were Misses
Martin, Dennis, Downs, Moyer, Spain and
Walker.
••Crowding Awfully," a song, was well ren
dered by W. K Mumlord.
The great moral drama,“The Loaf," with
W. E. Mumlord as Murk Ashton, J. F. Walker
as ( leb Hanson, J. L. Dennis as Harry Hanson.
K. D. Persou* as Dick Bustle, Frank Bacon as
Tom Chubb*, Mms Nelia Downs as Lilly Ash
ton, Miss Fannie Walk* r us Kate Ashton, Miss
Genic Dcunis as Tatty Join s, was }>erlonued
throughout with pcrlect ease, and an
iveuuss that was instructive white it was most
j holoinu. Tbe character ol the demon ol intem
| pciaiico was most powerfully illustrated iu the
I rendition ot Mr. Mamford, and lie; nior. l
I conveyed should bo treasured by tin* young and
| over trusting. Dallying with the liquid demon
I when the yean* are fair, and lih 'k prospects set
bright before you, may seem tut enticing pas
time; but remember the la to of Mark Asht on,
the successive stages through which he passed,
ami as you love life and its innocent pleasures,
beware w hat recognition yon give to the bale
ful flashing ol the enchanted cup.
The solo and chorus, ‘'My Dear Old Sunny
Home," whose rendition by Trot. Wright, was
so pleasing, received scvenil encores.
In the comic song, “TfctePliellow that Looks
Like Me," NY. E. Mumlord was most natural,
and displayed no less a talent tor the comical
than for amateur minstrelsy.
The historical charade “Divorce of Josephine,’
with If. C. Brown, us Napoleon, was well pre
sented with pro|**r scenic effect. Miss Moyir
was grand aud bountiful us Josephine, accep
ting the tint of her imperial master, with queen
ly resignation.
The music for the occasion was furnished by
Mm. Vandonberg, and added very much to the
entertainment. Fine audieneos were present
both nights, and doubtless have felt themselves
doubly repaid by witnessing such an exhibition
of histrionie talent in our town.
Immigration.
Virginia has just passed an act to encourage
Immigration, which provides for the publi
cation of a document setting fourth the climate*,
noils, resources, uud mineral wealth of the State, to
gether w ith other matters aft* cling the social and
domestic economy of the citizen.
Now if a similar document were published
for Georgia, with appended propositions for the
letting oi lamli on long credits, by our lauded
proprietors, the result would very sensibly affect
the solution of this important question. Those
who are to become land owuersarc most desira
ble. as they constitute the capital in muscle and
industry w hich the .State so much desires.
Jh Congress Carpenter s bill, a* reported, de
clares the Louisanna election null ami void, and
directs that anew election, for State officers and
members of the Legislature, he held on the
second Tuesday of next May. 7he Circuit
Judge for Ijouistuia, Win. B. Woods is directed
to appoint coiniuisaioneis of different politics,
who shall cause anew registration to be made of
all legally qualified voters of the State to coni
uieuee Maivh 18th. and to continue until within
ten days prior to the election. An
of $200,000 has been made to delray exptnsts of
same.
Ecijktnc MxttuiNx- The March number of
the Eclectic po sente* its usual variety of instruct
ive and eutertaining matter. While the general
matter is sulsitoutial and of jH i niiauent value,
there is enough of a lighter character to render
the whole one of the most perfect magazines
published. The contents of this number com
prize “The I ague* raised by the Protestant
Synod of France;” ‘The Two Maries," by Mrs.
Oliphaut;The Story of La Valliere;” “Heredi
tary liuprovemeut,” “Bret lbirte" and other ar
ticles equally as meritorious. The frontispiece
is a tine engraving of the California humorist,
Bret Harte.

' Being invitwl by ant friend Dunham,of Elgin.
Illinois, to visit the various stable* of Paris, we
| took u cab with him, one morning, this week,
und have been riding several dayß,h*oking at the
magnificent styles of French horses, the Perche
ron aiid Nonuan, famous the world over for
| their beauty, durability and strength. We have
I well every Stable in tire city, and we cun safely
! M*y we have never witnessed such a magnificent
collection of horse* in our life. The last stubles
visited, probably contain 600 of these blooded
i animals. I hey are worked to omnibuses, carts,
wagons. Ac,
It is not our object to give more than an idea
j of the appearance, qualities and value of the re
! iqiective br. ed* mentioned above. These two
i are considered the most valuable in France if
not iu Europe, for heavy work aud breeding.
Tin* P rcherou, cream color, compact body,
trim legs, fine head and eyes, long flowing mane,
is not generally so large an animal os his rival,
i the Norman horse. But he is a capital animal,
j nevertheless, if he does, at times, show an in
corrigible temper. Ike mares ot this breed are
regarded as excellent ter brood purposes and
1 sell from $l6O to SOOO iu gold.
I But wc must candidly confess our admiration
•if the Norman horse. Like the famous Bean
; cepbelus, he towers in beauty and grandeur
by the side of all other horses in France. Wheth
er on the battlefield, amid the din of musketry
| and bursting of shell, or at homo pursuing kis
daily routine of business, bearing heavy burdens
i to market or plowing in the field, the Norman
must continue to be regarded the embodiment
of all that is useful and valuable in a horse.
I In color, the Norman is a dapple gny; heavy
: frame, bon w large aud limbs muscular; a well
j formed head, large penetrating eyes and long
heavy mane and tail; very wide powerful front;
' measuring often lb to 174 hands high and weigh
ing from I,fX)O to 2,000 lbs. Mr. Dunham
bought one, weighing 1800 pound* for S6OO in
gold. Very choice stallions bring even higher
prices, SBOO to SI,OOO iu gold having been real
ized this season for choice fancy stock. Like
the Perch* roll, the Norman i* possessed of a re
markable degree of inUlligcne. They under
stand French aud move when you say (morder)
get OU.
All horses in Paris arc stallions ami not at all
j vicious They work as docile to a cart or dray,
as aw ll broke mule in Georgia. Walking by
j the “Grand Opera," to-day, we witnessed sof
these noble horses thawing heavy blocks of
j granite, tandem stile that wonld have weighed
10,000 pounds. It is not an nueninmon sight to
| see one horse pulling 3,(XX) to 4,000 pounds on
a dray.
j Chartres, 47 miles sonthwesi from this city i*
| the center of the great horse mart, where agents
are employed in the surrounding country to buy
I np from tfie farms, ail surtdu* stock. Many of
the most costly Tercheron ami Norman stallion*
and mares are shipped from Chartres to Paris to
the large horse dealer*. They are thou offered
to English and American traders, who pay the
extra per cent, or com missions to the shrewd
jockey Frenchman. Havre is tbe shipping port
tor America.
We shall not trouble our readers w-itli a din
ner wc made at the chateau of one of the great
horse lords of Paris, who has saved enough, we
should think, to retire from the business.

Cash Price, $56 per Ton, at all my Agencies from Columbus to
Butler, Inclusive, on the Southwestern R. R.
ALSO, FOR SALE CT TIME FOR COTTON CR tUFFEICY!
To the Consumers of Fertilizers•
It is now an admitted fact, established and confirmed by many years’ experience in the n*e el
Soluble Pacific Guauo, that an ordinary application to Cotton and Corn increases the yield to
double the production of the same soil unfertiliz* and. This statement is in no wise exaggerated; on
I the contrary, the results more frequently exceed than fall short of the above increase.
Ihe importance ol an agency which thus increases the products of hired labor cannot be o*r*
j estimated.
It is an agency which makes two bales of Cotton and two hatreds of Com grow where one grew
before.
it is an agency which makes the labor of one man equal to the labor of two.
It is an agency which make on*- acre, under cultivation equal to tiro acres.
It is an agency which, it w:T be found by fair calculation, pays the conunoer, with cotton at
I present or even lower price, three to five dollars back tor every dollar invented, and this within
period ot eight months time.
The above statements are not mere assertions, but are verified by more than seven years expe
rience, and are testified to by thousands of farmers and planters throughout the Middle and South
ern States.
II it be true, as stated, that the crop is doubled by the use of this Guano, let ns see what the
Per-Centum of Profit
is when applied to cotton, puttiug the price of eott-on at 17 cents per pound. Planters often wjr
they hav- made 100 per cent, because the Guano hits doubhd the crop. This is a mistake-, it i’
much more than a profit ot 100 pe r cent, on the money invested.
Let us calculate profit. To arrive at Hie per cent, of profit on an investment, th net cost
must be divided into the net gain. Now if an acre of ground will produce 150 pounds lint cotton
i without Soluble Pacific Guano, and will produce 300 pounds by the use of 200 pounds Soluble
Pacific Guano, then the increase from the use ol the Guano is 150 pounds lint cotton, the cost of
which is the money \ lue of 200 pounds Guano. Hence, if we deduct the cost of the Guano from
I t . ht ' ' alu . e °* 1-30 {Founds cotton produced by it, we lave the net gain from its use; then, if we
divide tbs cost ot the 2t>o pounds Guano into the net gain, we get the exact per cent, of profit-
I'hus: r
Oue hundred and fifty pounds lint Cotton, net gain from use of 200 pounds Soluble
Pacific Guano, at 17 cents per pound, $25,50-
300 pounds cotton seed, also net gain, 2.&0.
1 $28.00.
Deduct cost of 200 pounds Soluble Pacific Guano, cash price in Columbus. Ga. $56
per ton 5 GO.
Jet Profit ”*-22.40.
Now divide $5.60 net cost into *22.40 net gain, and the result is 400, w hich is 400 per cent. In
I other words, lor every dollar thus invested, five dollars are received in turn, one of which is the
original investment and lour are clear profit, thus being four for one, w hich is 400 per cent. Is
not this a fair and correct showing? It not, where is the error? Now, if it be true to one-bnlf
S nth ° Te '‘ ltent ’ Solut)le Pacific Guano is an agency ot the highest value to the agriculture of the
the large fixed capital invested by this Company in this business furnishes the best guarantee
of continued excellence. I need only assure consumers that the Guano brought into market this
season is precisely the same in composition and quality as that heretofore sold. Tb Cbmpan}'
