Editor Th'Maston Herald: I have just
completed a trip through north Georgia—
and I went through literally— passing from
the western border to the east. "She drouth
has extended over that region also; but I
was surprised to find the corn and cotton
further advanced than in middle Georgia.
Usually the crop in the latitude of your
place are from two to four weeksearlier than
in the latritude of, say Rome; but this
# i
spring the reverse of that is true. Wheat
>o north Georgia is very fine—the stalk is
uot large but uniform—and the heads
large and apparently fuli.
The object of this note Mr. Editor, is not
to speak of crops or things generally,
to 6ay a word to those of your readers who
are engaged in agricultural persuits, upon
a subject that will sooner or later occupy
not their thoughts but their earnest
attention. I allyda to the growth of c.lpver.
Your correspondent was raised in a clover
growing State, and in a latitude but little
north of your town, though several hundred
miles east, and afterward settled in the
county of Floyd in this state in the year
1855. At, that time I heard of but oue
man in Floyd or the adjoining counties
who was paying any attention to the culti
vation of clover. Dr. Ayers, on the Etowah
river, had planted ten acres in clover—if a
maD in middle Georgia should import a
number of heathen Chinese and commence
the growth of tea, it would scarcely be
more talked of—but the Doctor succeeded,
and added to his ten acre patch many more
acres. His neighoor, Mr. Fogy, did not
admit his success for several did
admit that the clover grew and' did' well,
but he expected a drought in a few years
that would utterly destroy the Dotor’s
clover, even to thd roots. It was too far
south for this northern crop.
But sir, the wa»\ which changed many
things has changed Mr. JTogyV opinion,
and to-day he points with pride and pleas
ure to his fifty acre clover filed, and tells
you, notwithstanding his clover is from
twenty to thirty inches high—in conse
quence of the drought—he will not make
more than half a crop. Through all the
northern counties I saw large plover fields,
and while this crop needs ell others
do, I saw many fields that would haye
been considered fine in the valley of Vir
ginia. I saw one field being reaped in
Walker county, containing twenty-five to
thirty acres, and the clover stood apparent
ly as thick as it could grow’ on the ground,
and could not have been less than from
twenty-four to thirty inches high. The
machine was drawn by a pair of horses in
splendid condition, made so by being fed
nightly lor several preceeding weeks from
the crop they were then engaged in mowing.
But the planter in your county will say
this was in Dorth Georgia, and y,e are too
far south for clover. So said the people
generally in north Georgia fifteen years
since. I nave travelled over yonr couufy,
and I do not believe that I ever saw a soil
better adapted to the culture and successful
growth of clover. The impression I believe
is general, that a very rich soil is necessary
to grow clover. That I believe is requisite
to grow anything (except perhaps ground
peas) invery great abundance. Clover like
all other crops, yields in proportion to the
soil, rich lands producing abundant crops,
poorer land less. But any land that will
yield a fair crop of wheat, will al3o yield
fair prop of clover. Is it not true that
farmers make their land rich to plant clover,
but it is true that they plant clover to make
their lands rich.
The experiment has already been made
near enough to four county to put the
question beyond dispute. A gentleman in
Monroe county last year gathered a crop
that would have been considered a heavy
yield in the rich lands of Virginia, or mid
dle Tennessee ; and if that particular plan
tation will grow clover, certainly those ad
joining will do so. And if Monroe county
is adapted to its culture, why should not
Upson with the same climate and a better
soil be also.
I know Mr. Editor, t&at men are sup
posed always to have motives prompting
their actions Newspaper scribblers fre
qnently write for the gratification of rea ling
theirown articles, and in too many instances
their productions give pleasure to no one
else. Another class write for the purpose
oj advertising some article in which they
have an interest, but in this instance your
correspondent is prompted by neither mo
tives of selfishness nor vanity. I have no
personal interest in the success or prosperi
ty of your readers. But I do, in common
with all patriots, feel an interest in the
prosperity and happiness of all the people
of my adopted State ; and in passing through 1
your county, I could but be struck with the
perfect adaptation of its soil to the growth
of this important crop. If this article can
only catch the attention of ore farmer
sufficiently to induce him to commence at
once, or as early as possible the growth of
this crx>p, it will reconstruct his red bills
arid bottoms much faster than Graut has
reconstructed the South.
I am certain that the introduction of this,
one of the leading articles of culture in
middle Georgia, particularly on such soil as
yours, would prove an absolute blessing to
the country. I bave no doubt in my opin
ion that anything is more certain. It will
be one of the first steps toward stopping
this terrible drain upon the country, for
corn, bacon, and mules, which is making
the people poorer each year. Tba latter
assertion may not apply to your people.
I have b§en told, in fact, thatUpscn was in
a better condition financially than moat
other counties in middle Georgia^but it is
true that the farmers are falling very far
behind generally, and if this ia true, *hen
cotton is at the highest maximum price, and
a fair orop made, what pnay we hope for
from low priced cotton or very ahort cropa.
she time was, when the farmer was
master of the situation, dictated- his own
terms to his merchant, but that is passed,,
or in other words reversed, anddfie mer
chant is not responsible for it. It is not to
his interest thn,t it should be so. The cause
that has produced this state of things is
known to all, and it will continue to grow
worse annually all merchants and farmers
are wrecked in a common ruin-sunless there
is a change— andtbe change mustcommence
with the planter. lie must cease to be a
planter and become a fanner, raise those
crops that will enrich his land, move bis
corn crib and smoke-house from the far
West to his own farm. But your readers
may say that in all this I hav* said - nothijg
about the mode of cultivating this beautiful
flower—for clover bares a flower—and I
know nothing more beautiful than a clover
field in full bloom. No, I bave said noth
ing of that, for the very reason that your
readers, if they should advise a friend to
emigrate to Texas, would wait for his con
sent to,go before they would prepare a way
bill for use.
These thoughts Mr. Editor, were suggest
ed by contrasting the improved condition
and apparent prosperity of people of
the northern portion of the State with those
of tho middle and southern portion, and I
selected your columns as the medium through
which to give thein, crude as they are, to
the public, for the reason as before stated,
that you have the soil, the climate, and as
I am informed, the people well prepared to
lead in this important and much needed
change. Yours truly,
. ... An ex-Farmer.
Greeley’* Speech to the Negros,'
But a short time since Greeley made a
speech to the negr ies ot Poughkeepsie,
New York, which oontaius the following
passages :
“In the next place, we must copgider the
fact that the African people in ovr country
will remain for an indefinite period a pecu
liar people. Certainly I trust that, wits)
the outgoing of sluvery and the political
change necessarily resulting therefrom,
there will be less antagonism, less repulsion
between men, of different races, than there
formerly was, I trust the day is not far dis
tant jphen their common rights to any pub
lic conveyance aud in public meetings and
institution will be reoognized as they were
not recognized of old, and as they are but
imperfectly recognized still. I trust that
political equality, justly established, will
lend to recognition of their equality iu other
respects than this ; but, after all, while I
desire and expect that invidious and galling
distinctions will gradually fall into disuse
1 still believe that there are differepoes of
races which political equality will not efface,
but which will remain long after the mem
ory of slavery has faded to a a faint tradi
tion. ‘Blood is thicker than water,’ and
the tiw»,e will probably never come when
men of races so diverse as ours and theirs
x
will mingle socially with the same freedom
that meu of either race mingle with their
own people. There will always be recog
nized a decided difference, which need not
be inequality, but sill a difference.
I hope the time will come when our edu
cational institution and seminaries will be
open to men of all races with a freedom,
with a hospitality, which has never yet
been enjoyed. I trust the time will come
when no man’s color will exclude him from
any church or any religious organization
whatever. But though that time should
Come, I am not at ail sure that the colored
race will not, as they now do, as a rule,
prefer their own society, and prefer to have
churches, and seminaries, and colleges of
their owd. Nor am I clear that this would
not be a wise choice. So then, with regard
to our common schools, where a rural dis
trict contains but twenty-five or thirty fami
lies, it is simply impossible, where two or
three of tnose are colored, to have seperate
schools* and in those cases to say that
black children shall not go to school with
white children is to say they shall not have
any school whatever. But in communities
@uCh as these, while, if I were a black man,
I should not ask a separate school, yet I
shoud still say if the whites fihose to have
separate schools I should not object to it. I
should oniy ask that the schools for my
children should be made as good, as suffi
cient, as schools provideJ for other men’s
children. Then, if the majority chose that
tne minority should be educated in separate
schools, I should say, “Gentlemen, be it as
you please : I have no choice in the mat
ter.” A gentleman or a lady never discus
ses the question. Was it proper to refuse
m« an inflation to my neighbor'* party f
He or she aooepta the faet and lets the rea
son take cure of itaelf. Precisely to wuh
regard to religious fraternity or associations
for maintenance of divine worship. I would
advise the colored men never to makes dis
tinction and never to refuse one. If the
white-* choose that the blanks shall uot be
members on equal terms of general congre
gations, I should accept exclusive congre
gations, not as my choice, but as the choice
of the dominant race.

Wear and Repair of the Brain —The
notiou that those who work only with their
bfaihs need less food than those who work
* * -'ii’ • , .
with their hands has Keen the cause of much
untold mischief. Students and literary
men have often been the victims of a slow
starvation, from their ignorance of the fact
that montal labor causes greater waste of
tissue than muscular. According $o care
ful estimates, threo hours of hard study
wears out the body more than a whole day
of woyk at an or on a fartp, “With
out phosphorus, no thought,’- is a Germ in
saying ; and the consumption of essential
ingredient of the brain increases according
to the amount of labor which the organ is
to perform. This wear aqd tear
of Y the brain is easily »easu;ed by careful
examination of the salt in the liquid excre
tions. The importance of the brain as a
working organ is shown by the amount of
blood it receives, which, is proportionally
greater than that of any other part of the
body. One-fifth of the blood goes to the
brain, through its average weighl of the
body. This fact alone wonld he sufficient
to prove shat brain-workers need more food
and better thau mechanics and farm labor
ers.
A Sad Case. —The Lynchburg, Virginia,
News, says :
There is a woman now lying between life
and death in a Western city whose pase has
only been extalled once in medical annals.
The pulse is regular at sixty, and all the
bodily actions are perfectly performed.—
The skin is natural and the eye presents no
unusual appearance, exoepta certain 6xity,
and yet this woman has had for sixty days
a bullet fired from her husband’s revolver
embedded in her b ra i n * One of the most
touching atid pitiful facts about the case is
that the patient, in a sad kind of way,
seems to be conscious, though unable to
speak., 3he is incessantly trying to get her
wedding ring off her finger, and at one time
appears to have imagined that she had un
loosed it, for she made a motion as though
about to throw it away, but, apparently
repenting, attempted to restore it. The
ring occupies all her thoughts. She con
tinually regards it, and will hold up her
left hand as loDg as her strength lasts to
look at it.
Roasted to Death.—A singular and hor
rible accident was recently investigated be
fpre the courts in Cologne, Prussia. One
day last fal] tie bouse of a peasant named
Franz Bucher, was deserted; he was ad
vanced in years and crippled with rheuma
tism. lie had been in the habit of crawling
into the large oven where bread was cooked
to sleep. Oq the day in question he went
into his accustomed sleeping-place, where
the waamth soon alleviated his pains and
sent him to sleep. Toward evening the
servant entered, and seeiog the old man in
the oven, told him to come out, or he would
get warmed up too much. He refused, and
retired to the rear of the oven, puliing the
doors together. Tbe servant thinking the
heat would scare him, allowed the cooking
to go on. Tho result was t,bat toward even
ing the man was found baked to a crisp.—
Tbe servant, when brought before theoourt,
declared she had completely forgotten the
old man, and was merely condemned to
twenty-four hours’ imprisonment.
Josh Billings says; ‘‘There are lots of
folks in this world who, rather than not
find fault wouldn't hesitate to tell an angle
worm that his tail was altogether tew long
for hie body.
