The First Blow.
The Cross and Crescent lias once
more been bathed in blood. Rus
sia’s advancing columns have had
their first encounter with the lurks.
Thus the bloody drama has opened.
All Europe is iu a stato of feverish
excitement Fiyuce and Germany
are glaring at each other. John
Bull, sullen and grim, stands tendy
to protect British interests; whilst
Austria, Hungary' and Italy, are
arming and mustering their legions,
in anticipation of lieing drawn into
the mad vortex. All these move
ments should speak in thunder tones
to Southern farmers. If the war is
protracted, cotton is doomed and
all kinds of provisions, will be in
heavy demand. Be warned farm-
mers. Put not your trust in Princes
or—cotton. Hog and hominy is the
watchword.
Startling Figures.
The way farmers get nch—over the
left—may f>© learned by glancing at
iwiQg figures taken from the
Gaxet^i showing ship-
and received at that place
. _ r 1875 to
it at October 1870:
Pounds of bacon and lard received,
7G0.390; no shipments. Barrels of
floor received, 3.365; no shipments.
Bushels of corn and meal received,
40,057; no shipments. Bushels ot
wheat received, 414: abif ped, 84.—
Bushels oats received, 6,511: shipped,
322. Bushels peas received, 72; no
shipments. Barrels fruits and vege
tables teceived, 355; no shipments —
Bales bay and fodder received, 132;
no shipments. Horses and mules re
ceived, 25; no shipments. Live hogs
received, 600; no shipments. Bushels
of barly and rye received. 222; no ship
ments. Tons of fertilizers received,
1,259; no shipments.
These figures will bankrupt that, or
any other county. They are terribly
suggestive of the insane policy which
has so long been pursued by Southern
farmers. We reproduce them for the
purpose of showing “where the money
goes to.” Study them farmers of

Dawn of Reason. -
The following taken from the Al
bany Ereninrj Journal, one of the
leading radical papers in the United
States,shows that the dawn of reason,
and of a better era has begun; that
even the extremists are beginning to
learn that ’tis better that the States
should be governed by intelligence;
that ignorance is not a safe helmsman
iu the affairs of state. This is wbat,
and it is all, that the Southern people
have contended for since the war.—
Xo intelligent, fair minded Xorthcrn
can long stay in tho South with
out being impressed with the views
expressed in the Journal:
We cannot be worse off with the
experiment and we may be much bet
ter off. .Let us irive the South Lome
rule. Let us permit intelligence and
property to have their natural sway.—
General Gordon denies, and all will
believe him, that ho was privy to any
trade or bargain with the administra
tion party looking to the seating of
Hayes. General Gordon is oue of
Georgia’s purest and mott upright
Statesmen, and his course will bear
the full glare ot noonday light. Geor
gia, nor the South, will ever be sold
out by John B. Gordon.
Let us not force ignorance and inca-
Government represented by

and given then full political rights.—
Let us teach them that they cannot
always depend on the Federal arm.
but must depend on themselves.—
Let us seek especially to relieve the
South from constant turmoil and open
the path to higher material prosperi
ty.”
7*liE Convention.—Mr. Stephens
iu a private letter says in speakiug of
of the proposed Convention:
**I am decidedly in favor of the pro
posed State Convention. 1 have, it is
true, heretofore looked upon a call for
such a Convention as premature. But
tho time has now come, I trust, for its
call, and 1 hope the ablest men of the
State will be scut to it, irrespective of
past party distinctions.
“Let wisdom, Justice and Moder-
lion prevail in its councils, and the
result of its action will be beneficial to
all classes ol our people.”
Mrs. Hayes has inaugurated one re
form at the White House, for which
she deserves thanks. She has exclu
ded wines fioni the tables on all occa
sions, private aud State. Exceptions
are made only in cas2 of foreigners.—
Housewives, high and low, would do
well lo follow her example.
Decoration day was generally ob
served on Ihc 20th, throughout the
South. Northern mothers aud sisters
will gather around their loved aud lost
ones at n later tiny to bedew Item
with their tears, and to scatter, like
we have, the sweet flowers of spring
o’er their lowly beds. It is a most
beautiful aud touchiug ceremony ami
one which we hope will belong kept
up.
Mr. Hayes is reported during an in
terview with Gov. Colquitt, who is in
Washiugtoo City, as “seeming to be
glad that Georgia is getting along so
well” Well yes, pretty well think you
for a Slate which is staggering under
80,000 democratic majority. ITc Hip
po** that Mr. Ilaycs is surprised that
we should be getting along at all un

about Georgia,Rulhy. Just keep your
hands off her, and the .other -Southern

The Constitution in speaking of the
above road says;
Railroads have been, and will con
tinue to be, the first great developers
of all countries. They have become a
necessity to all classes of people, and
those seeking new homes will not
abandon a direct lino of road to even
cxamioc acy country, no matter how
attractive it may be pictured. This
proposed road .to Thomasvillo will
supply the missing link between the
Northwest aud Middle Florida, and
will furnish a more expeditious, direct
aud cheaper route lo every poition of
the Stale than any oilier that can be
devised. Tourists, invalids and seek
ers after new and permanent homes
will all be compelled to pass over said
road, aud diicctly through the garden
spot ol Florida to reach noy portion
of our exteusive Stale. And this is
all that is necessary to secure a dense
population. Our climate is health-re
storing, our natural scenery attractive,
our virgin soil productive, and these
facts once discovered by actual exami
nation, the demand for small farms, at
almost any price, will be difficult to
meet.
Good News.
As a matter of general iutcrcst to a
very large class we subjoin the follow
ing extract from the Chronicle and Con
stitutionalist (Augusta). It will briug
a sigh of relief to many a weary nee
dlewoman, who is slowly and painful
ly stitching away to enrich a great
monopoly. But the dawn is breaking,
and wc sincerely congratulate the wo
men of the country upon the prospect
of soon being able to buy a machine
for 8*20,* for which they have now to
pay 800. But to the extract:
During the coming mouth the prin
cipal patent expires of the sewing ma
chine combination, which has en
riched what has been known as the
Combination Monopoly” netting them
rannv millions of dollars. The result
be, that iu a few months machines
now selling for sixty dollars, and even
higher prices will be retailed at not
fer twenty dollars.

3rd. Look sour at every new comer

of Ordinary, extending from 1870 to 1872,

many of the records are uot indexed at all
