To the Farmers of Georgia : In view of the war in Europe.— and the probable scarcity and high prices of bread stuffs and low price of cotton which will prevail, 1 again re spectfully advise that you will, by every means in your power, increase the area planted in provision crops. I suggest checking your fields of cotton with corn in rows fifteen to tweenty feet a part, one hill at every intersection, With fair seasons, this will very largely increase the product of corn without a corresponding decrease of (lie cotton. 1 further suggest the planting of the stubble fields in peas so soon as the wheat and oats shall have boon harvested. Pay special attention to the rais ing of every pound of pork possible. Take care of th > pigs. These suggestions are not design ed to alarm or to create a sensation. A word to the wise is sufficient. “A prudent man foreseeth the evil and hidetli himself, but the simple pass on and are punished .” Very respectfully, Thomas P. janes. Commissioner of Agriculture. lion. S. S. Cox, made a short specoli in Nashville, in the course of which lie gave ti very luippy way for democrats to recieve what good has come to them from the Radical de facto administration. He said: All that I claim, my fellow-citi zens, in behalf of the .Northern De mocracy, and all that T ask of you as Southern Democrats, is to stand by the old tenets of our party; a strict construction of the constitution ; not too much federal government in the wrong direction ; self-government and home rule among the Stat s ; no more frauds; no more force upon the States ; no bayonet rule ; no more necessity for electoral commis sions or returning hoards. [Ap plause.] We have at last the re lease of the last two states held by the bayonet; we have a government in South Carolina chosen by the peo ple, uitli Hampton at its head ; we have a government in Louisiana that represents the integrity, the honesty, the property, and the liber ty of the State. For this boon we are to thank, of course, a republican de facto administration. Very well; let ns give thanks for all the bles sings that may come to us. As I said the other night to the people of Memphis, so 1 say to you—even if the darkest raven brings food' o you, consume the food and thank God for the good, even though a raven brings it. Bu t nevertheless, as democrats, jealous of the suppression of state rights and liberty, don’t fail to keep your eye on the reyen. | Applause and laughter.] Why I have known a Tennessee mule to wait six mouths to get a kick at a man. (Laughter and applause.) The principles ob served and protected by the consti tution will give us self government in our states as betore the war. Why have we not had selt government for the last twelve years m our states? Who is it now that claims the credit of setting these states free? A democrat ic congress put a provision in the ar my bill that no supplies or money should be furnished any portion of the army used for the oppression of any State, and thus put an end to bad governments; and now, thank God, we have better governments everywhere, and the last cloud which has hung over the Southern States has been dissipated, and we have to day, throughout all the Southern border a universal bounding forth to prosperity ; you have the assurance that your farms and plantations — will bring forth rich harvests of food —lands so rich that they need only to be tickled with the hoe to make them laugh with the harvest and bring forth enough to feed all the world. Prime Minister Tisga stated in the Hungarian Diet, that the neu trality of the Danube had never been expressly declared, therefore the in terference of neautrals with the op erations of belligerents is impossible while such operations arc within the principles of international law. THOM ASTON. GA.. SATURDAY MORNING. MAY lit. 1877. Tin* ((rowing Crops. MINNESOTA. A special dispatch to the Chicago Tribune, dated Winona, Minin, reads as follows : ‘ £ A gentleman of thiscitv just returned from a tour of observation through the counties of Brown, Redwood, Renville and Ni collet, the worst infected grasshop per districts in the State, reports as the results of the numerous ex peri", ments made m the last two weeks, that the great bulk of grasshopper eggs are rotten and will not hatch. In no case did more than 10 per cent, of the eggs tried produce “hoppers.” It seems to ho the general belief there will be a larger area planted than last year. More barley and Oats will ho sown, and with a favor able season it is estimated that twen ty-seven or thirty million bushels of wheat will be raised. MISSOURI. The prospective wheat crop in Se dalia and adjacent counties is very promising, the exceeding dry Win ter, although cold having inflicted no damage of material consequence. In Saline county, where a large acre age is growing, the prospect is very encouraging. ’ In Henry, Bates and Johnson, and counties extending to ward the Kansas line more than an average acreage is growing thrifty. Along the Osage river and in conn-, ties south and east farmers are much elated at the healthy growth and good stand. In every county in cen tral Missouri it is believed the acre age of corn that will bo planted this Spring will far exceed that of last year. Farmers are now very busy plowing. The peach and apple crops and other small fruits promise an abundant vield. ILLINOIS. The cold and wet weather preven ted the beginning of farm operations as early as usual. It is generally re ported that every available acre of land will be worked, and operations commenced at the earliest possible date. CALIFORNIA. Tne late rains appear to have been very beneficial throughout the State. The Sanfrancisco Commer cial states that ‘‘except m a strip of territory in the Sacramento Valley, the rainfall averaged from half an inch to an inch and a quarter. The southern counties, where moisture was most needed, received a goodly and timely supply, which has great ly revived tlie spirits of those engag ed in agricultural pursuits. In San-' diego a half crop is confidently an ticipated, where a few days ago nothing was expected, and the bee farmers of that region estimate that the rainfall will have the effect of more than doubling the yield of lion 1 ey.” ‘VIRGINIA. The Petersburg Index and Appeal says that preparations have been made for planting an immense area with tobacco this season, and that, if nothing occurs to injure the crop, it will be one of the largest ever grown in .Virginia. Every planter will enlarge his area. We also learn that there is a great abundance of good plants now too large to be ma terially affected by the fly. LOUISIANA. * All reports from this State are fa vorable. In Iberville parish there is “a fair increase of acreage,” and to ail accounts 20 per cent, more would have been planted had the weather proved more favorable. Cane is do ing finely. The Opelousas Courier states “many of our planters have finished planting their corn, some have already begun planting cotton, and all agree that the season thus far is one of the best we have Had for years.” There is some complaint from the section around West Baton Rouge, but nothing of a serious na ture. MISSISSIPPI. The Aberdeen Examiner says: “Without doubt wo are having the finest farming season ever known in this region. The land is mel low and cultivated with much less labor than usual; the plow stock is all in fine condition, the hands are working intelligently and well; and corn planting is nearly ‘completed in the prairie lands of the country, while admirable headway is being made everywhere. The farmers without exception predict a splendid oat crop, while wheat is turning out much better than we had any rea son to hope it would a few weeks ago.” TEXAS. The latest reports indicate less de vastation by grasshoppers, and in fact the “total destruction” reports seem to have nearly died out. From nearly all sections there is little fear of loss of wheat, but oats appear to have been considerably damaged. The prospects are t hat there will be a greater acreage in cotton and corn, and a decrease in oats, more than the average acreage of wheat, which looks well, except where the ravages of the hoppers have injured the same From Limestone. Brazos, Colin, Boberton and I’atrieo counties t lie “bluest” reports come, but some of these would give the opinion that most of the hopper damages have been done to garden vegetables. Owing to the refusal of the (Sen ate, which is republican, logo into election for Chief Justice until the House i.us admitted all the members of the late Mackey House, a com plete head lock , so far as that mat ter is concerned, has resulted, and there is no telling when the election will he held. V 4 :*m‘ for (lie C ourt* [ harleslon Journal of < ’omim-roe) Columbia, May 5. 1 have just been placed in possession of infor mation which m.iv he interesting to the House Joint Committee, who are considering the claims of ihe members of MaekeY s bogus House tu seats m the House of Peprcsenta tives It will be remembered that while the State House was occupied by the members of the House and by the Mackey crew, supported by the Fed eral troops and Chamberlain's con stabulary, there was considerable talk about the use of force to expel the legal members from the building and that under these threats Gene ral Wallace and the members of (be House actually left the place in or der to avoid a collision. The true inwardness of the plot has been dis closed to me by a member of the House who bore a prominent part in the Mackey farce, and from him 1 have learned of the existence of the most murdeious and diabolical con spiracy that has ever existed in the Palmetto State. Wy informant, whose name 1 am compelled to witli old for the present, states that an agreement was entered into between Mackey and Chamberlain to secure the murder of all or at least of most, of the members of the House, and at the same time to secure their own specious hides, and those of their ignorant followers, from harm. The Plan of the Murder, Mackey was to write a formal communication to Chamberlain, stating that the business of the House of Representatives was being declared by the presence of a number of: turbulent persons, and requesting him to have them remov ed. Of course he referred to tho members of the legal House. Chain berlain, upon receipt, of this com munication, was to organize a con stabulary force of about one hun dred and fifty men, well armed, and these were to be entrusted with the duty to removing the legal members by killing them. The conspiracy was carried out to the extent of the writing of the letter by Mackey and the organization of the constabulary. One hundred and fifty of these cut throats were collected together, ar med with Winchester rifles, and were secreted in the W ays and Means Committee room, in the first lloor of the State House. The it incileaders. These were commanded by John I*. Dennis and the notorious negro Whipper, who were intrusted with the duty of superintending the job of murdcrino the members of the House. The plan was arranged as follows : Mackey and his crowd, in order to save their carcases, were to retire from the hall and seek shelter in the Adjutant and Inspector Gen eral's office, which had been barrica ded and prepared for the purpose As soon as they had got out of the way, Dennis and Whipper, with their fellowcnt throats, were to go into the hall and bring on a difficul ty with the members by attempting to oust them. They would be resis ted, of course, and would at one op - en lire and kill the whole crowd. In the meantime, the Federal troop.? were to be in readiness to come to their assistance (as of course they would have to interfere in case of a disturbance), but things were so arranged that the job would be com pleted before they arrived, and the State House had been put in a posi tion to be.defended against an cut side attack. Mackey hoped, by this plan, to get rid of the legal House of Representatives, and to Gave him* self recognized asSpeaker and Cham* berlain as Governor. My informant adds that the only reason ihc mem bers escaped was through the fore sight of Speaper Wallance, who on the day upon which the murder was to have taken place, instructed the members of the House to withdraw. Had they not done so, not a man of them would have been left to tell the tale. lam not at liberty as yet to reveal the name of my informant but when the proper steps are taken to ferret out the matter, I think 1 can produce witnesses who were cog nizant of the entire ploot. A granger’s misfortune. — An old farmer, down near Milwaukee, made up his mind that he’d have to dabble a little m wheat with tho rest of the hoys. So lie sailed in, operating through a commission house. His judgement led him to “go long,” and he bought for June A few days afterward come the war news, and the market began to bulge. It jumped up so fast that it made the old mans head swim. He couldn’t figure fast enough to keep up with the profits ; blithe trusted to his commission house and went in the other day to settle up. His as* tonishment was uncontrolable, and he could hardly believe his senses, when he found that his profits amounted to $33,000, Of course he felt good. Said tiie commission man. “It’s the worst money you ev er made.” “What do you say that for ?” asked the farmer, with some surprise. “Because it will end in \our losing the SO,OOO that you star ted in with,” was the significant re ply . The old gentleman looked sad, but he put the $33,000 in his pocket just the same.— Winond Republican. The managers of the burned hotel at St Louis attempted to collect bills of ttic guests who occupied rooms on the fatal night. What made the guests mad was because the managers charged them a dollar ex tra for “fire in the room.” War I cni. A proclamation of the Indepen dence of Roumania and a simultane ous declaration of war against Tur key have been agreed upon in a pri vate conference of Senators and Dep uties. Braiidino, President of the Ministry, was present at the confer ence. Itfis thought Russia will not re ply to Lord Derby's note. The Rus sian telegraph agency, however, foreshadows a reply which concludes: “The English Cabinet cannot extri cate itself from this dilemma, ex cept by proclaiming that England is the first Mussulman power in the world, and that she consequently wishes for the maintenance of tho Turkish dominion over Christians, even at the cost of their extermina tion. Mo hold the English nation in too great esteem to believe it would sanction such a policy.” A Turkish gunboat seized four vessels on the Danube, sailing un der the Greek flag. A Turkish monitor bombarded Santanow ten hours. A French gunboat is at the Salimi mouth of the Danube, to protect French interests in the Dorbrischa, Tho Turkish Commander-in Chief is at Shumla. It is reported that the Roumani an forces, strengthened by a Russian division, will form the right wing of the Russian army. A vigorous contest is suspected he* tween Kalafat and \\ nldcu. The Russians propose crossing the Dan ube there. A New Hampshire paper relates that at Newton, in that state, a mad dog after having been woun ded, took refuge in a barn, where some of the hay became soaked with his blood. The hay was fed to a horse, which went mad. Gold, though the principal stan dard ot value, is not moved about the world much. The whole import of London, the greatest hanking city of the world, was only *110,222,.‘US m 181V>, and the export was 881,- 097,850. Nearly the whole of the difference went into the vaults of the Bank of England, the stock of which increased 845,992.020. A dangerous insurrection is re ported to have broken out in the ar my of Li Hung Chang, near Tient sin, China. Three thousand troops, driven to desperation by deprivation of pay and rations, rose in a body, murdered their superior officers, aiid spread over Chili and Shantung, carrying utter devastation with them. The trade between the Argentine Republic and tho United States lias shown little variation in character or amount since 1870. It was loss in 1875, the average, so far as as certained from reports being about six and a half millions per year,— This it a small share in the com merce of so near a neighboring Pow ay hose total foreign trade amounts to over one hundred millions a year.

A Clerical repast.— The r.ew Church of St. Agnes*, on Forty-third street near Lexington avenue, al ready described at length in the world, was dedicated yesterday by Cardinal McCloskey. Long before 11 o'clock, the hour set down for the services, Forty-third street, between Lexington and Third avenues, was a swaying mass of humanity. An ad ministration of was charged, which goes towards the reduction of the chinch debt. The Attorney General has been requested by the Postmaster Gen eral to examine the law of the last Congress, giving the different exe cutive departments the right to send official communications through the mails free of charge, and to give his construction of the meaning and in tent of said law. Some hold that the law is not mandatory, and that the departments may continue the use of the official stamps, but those qualified to speak express the opin ion that, under the law, the use of official stumps must be discontinued after the end of the present fiscal year. On the 30th of June of the pre sent year the treaties of commerce and navigation between France and the principal countries of Kuropeex pire, and two years thereafter France is free to regulate her customs and navigation tariffs upon anew basis. The Minister of Finance has called upon all the chambers of commerce of France for expressions concerning the relative desirability of regula tions by treaty and by general tariii imposing ad valorem duties. There appears to be great unanimity in fa vor of treaty regulations in the re lilies to bis appeal, and it is probable that government action will be ken in that direction, and extended, so far as it may seem to be of mu tual benefit, to the countries interes ted. Tin* Cotton In lit j Wes cm to he nearly as much l*c hinuhaud tn cotton manufacturing as we excel the world in cotton growing. We have but 218 spindles per thousand of itopulwtiou, while Great Britain has 1,180 per thou&ind of her people, and we export blit .'ev en percent of our total cotton minu* fac lures while Great Britain exports eighty-five per cent, of her®. We have a multitude of people unem ployed and it is evident ttmt our manufacturing capacity, even at a time when everybody is rigidly econ omizing at home, is bu! a tiille ahead of the home demand. We consume, at this tine*, at home, all hut seven per cent, of the cotton goods we make. With the return of good times and the natural in crease in consumption our cotton manufacturers would be hardly able to supply the home market, and if. as seems not improbable, we shall have a steadily increasing foreign de mand for our goods, wo shall mod more cotton mills. Indeed, we know of prudent and well inform ed cotton manufacturers who be lieve that if Hit Southern troubles are happily settled, and a speedy re turn to specie payments were proba ble, it would be safe and profitable to invest money in ncw'miUs at once, selecting the most fayorable locali ties and putting m the best mac hinery, so as to cmnpbte on the most favorable terms with the old mills. COTTTON RAISING. There is of late an increased number of persons in the North who are. tempted by the mild climate and cheap lands of the Southern States to begin the culture of cotton. It appears that in this as in every oth er business the most skillful and in dustrious make the greatest profit. It appears also that even so far South as Texas cotton is profitably raised by white farmers, and that negro la bor is not absolutely necessary in a cotton field. The Southern States want emigrants, and the accounts published by us show that they are prepared to welcome all who come. The settlement of the Southern troubles, which seems near at hand, will, we have no doubt lead to such a state of good feeling in the South as will draw many Northern men and Europeans to the cotton States. There is no doubt at all that work ingmen who desire to buy cheap land and become farmers have bet ter opportunities in such States as Texas at this time than in auv Northern State ; audit would not surprise us to see the tide of Euro pean imigration hereafter setting toward the cotton Spates. But the people of those States should remem ber that the best, the most indus trious and useful class immigrants from Europe seek out those States where they find free schools, church es tree speech and a hearty welcome, and with an unfailing instinct, go there and nowhere else.— Herald. Woman’s Curiosity. A man was yesterday pushing an iron lawn-roller around a yard on Woodward avenue, when ail old hvly came along, leaned up against the fence and watched him fora while, and then called out : “Say, Mister, what arc yon push ing that around for ?” “To roll the lawn/’ be answered. “What do you want to roll the lawn for ?” “To roll the lawn.*’ lie answered, “What do you want to roll the lawn for ?” “To make it level.” : -What do you want to make it ley el for ?” she continued. “That’s what I was ordered to do, lie answered, as he wiped away the perspiration.” “But what did they order you to do it for ?” “Why they think ;i smooth lawn looks the best, I suppose.” “Why do they think a smooth lawn looks the best ?” she persisted. “I haven’t time to talk,” lie said as he started up again. “Why haven’t you time to talk ?” siie shouted, “Go’n ask the boss I ’ lie yellod. “Why shall 1 go’n ask the boss ?” she screamed. He disappeared behind the house to get rid of her, and after waiting five minutes for him to reappear she slowly sauntered off, muttering : “Some folks are so smart ad stuck up that you can't get wit hia mile of ’em onless you blaze all over with diamonds.” — Free Press The Pcesidcnt has issued the ord er for the consolidation of the agen cies for the payment of army and navy penisons, to taka effect July Ist; 1877.
