Friday Morning, November 19, 1869 Paper* for Our People- Wc published last week a abort ctitique upon a certain style of literature which we think ought to be discontinued by the respectable portion of tbe reading public, and the better to enable it to do so, wc propose now to make a abort rorisw ol such publications as our people can patronise with pleasure, profit and adrau tage to themselves. As we have access to a larger preportion of tbs periodical literature of the day than moat of our readera, we trust that our opinion on the subject may be of sonic value —at least we hope that we may not he consid ered impertinent or obtrusive in offering it. As some three buudred sight or ten literary weeklies, ten foreign, and 'a score or more of domestic tnngnxines, ere Constant visitors to our table, we have a tolerably ex tended range of choice, and "ball proceed to give our reader# the benefit of our experience. We shall confine ourselves in this article to a notice of the beat newspapers and literary weeklies, reserving our ideas on Magaxine# and Reviews, for a future issue of the "Uaxette." Os literary papers, the first entitled to our notice, by reason of both its merit uud impor tance, is -‘Appleton’s Journal.” We do not hes itate to pronounce this paper the very beet of its class published in tint United States, nor is it inferior to the best English periodicals of tbe same charnrter. It is an illustrated weekly, containing no vulgar, brutalising pictures of blood and murder—no portrait# of criminate, our loathsome representations of the horrors of the day, but its illustrations are as pleas ant, and at improving as its reading matter. Ills first page always contains some prstty sketcli—usually a copy of some celebra ted painting, then there are engravings of dif ferent places and object* of interest from all pnrlr of the world—natural scenery, ce ebrated edifices, works of art, Ac , and each number con taina a portrait of some of lire celebrities of the day The reading matter consists of stories essays, historical and biographical sketches, and philosophical and scientific discussions, brought down to the level of the ordinary, unscientific reader. It is a paper conducted with both taste awl ability, and Do expense or trouble, is spared to give its 'readers all Hie pleasure and ini pruvement that auclt a publication can bestow- To those wbvcati afford but one paper of this kind, we would say most emphatically, take “Appleton's." It's tendency is lo refine and elevate the public taste, and purify the public morals, and the existence of such a periodical, if largely patronized, is a iienefit to the country. Toe sight of “Appleton's Journal," in a family sitting room, would give an intelligent strung r a* favorable an opinion of the taste and cu'ture of its readers, as tlie sight of “Ilaipei's M eek ly" or "Frank (Lnsliu" would incline him to the reverse. Lust, but not least in unpertance to Southern readers, "Appleton's Journal” never contains anything unziud nr abusive toward* the South. We do nut know wiml the publish er's politics nmy be, but they never obtrude their opinions upon the public, and their paper is entirety free from the ecurrilitica into which it eeftne impoesible for American political publi cations lo avoid indulging The “New York 6'iliisn A Round Table" is also a very good literary paper. "Hearth and Home 1 ' i* another high-toned weekly, nnd since Mre. H. B. Stowe's connection with it its* ceased, present* uo ohjectiouabi* feature to Southerner* It* agricultural department, however, la not suited to our latitude. Among newspapers, the great New York dailies Drat claim our notice. The chief of thee* are the‘Herald,’ the “World," a ml the "Tribuue,'’ and the "World,” in our opinion, la decidedly the licet of them. It is conducted by men of high library talent, a* well a* editorial ability. It contains the latest and freshest new* from all quarters, and ou all subjects, with able edi torial* on the great questions of the day. It i* the organ nf the Democratic party North, and ha* a laiger ciiculatiou than any mbui paper of New York, except, petliaps the “llerahl” It lias long been the champion of the South, and dared to raise its vote* in our behalf, to expose our wrong* and remonstrate with out oppress ors, when our own papers were silent under the terror* of military law, and the ptets of the North combined to vilify nnd condemu us. The “Tribune" is an üble journal, but full of dangerous political heresies. Its editor, Horace Greeley, is one us the whang nosed saints of the Republican party, w ha believes in nigger perfec tibility.or rather in nigger perfection, and in the absolute degradation of the white race, at the South. We would recommend hi* paper to sueh a* are particularly anxious to know what our enemies say about us. The “Herald" bae no politic*, nor principle*, except it* own interest*. It i* very pew*;, very sensational, and very unreliable. Thera is a paper published iu the West, wh cli, iu our opinion, can compare advanta grousiy with the very best Metropolitan journ als—wo allude to the “Courier-Journal," pub lished iu Louisville, Kentucky. There is not the *atne amount nf labor and money expended on it. a* on the heavy New Y'ork dailies, but it displays more editorial abilities than all of them put together. It is conducted with more talent than any paper in the United States Its news ia liettar selected, and more concise than those nf the great New Y'otk papers, and its editorials equal in nbility to those of the .‘World" or the "Tribune." It is a paper besides, of considerable literary merit, and to those who cannot afford both, would answer the double purpose of a newspaper and literary journal. It is watroly Demociatic in politics, and con tains mote genuine wit tltau all the would-be tunny papers in the country put together It’s satire is stinging, but never coarse; its editorials racy nnd spirited, but never scurrillous as Wes tern editorials are to apt to he. We have not alluded to our own State pa pers in tbit article, because most of our renders have opportunities of judging us these for them selves. NttlHce it tossy, that every man should ismiiae bis own county paper, because each one is interestrd in having it kept up— Every tanner that can afford it, ought also in lake noe if the neighboring dailies—else they will nut know what ia ;oing on in their State The dugusta nr the Atlanta papers 1 are port, suited to the w mts of this section, be j esnse most of «or planters transact bn-mesa iu 1 one oi other of those cities, uud it is necessary j to keep them elves posted as to the state of . the markets and prims of cotton, Yankee CiTilisaticn- One of tbe most atrocioos acts of judicial ens ally ever perpetrated, baa recently beeo com mitted by a New York" District Attorney named Halt. Tbe victim wee a young mao named Maurer, who had been convicted cf an infamous murder, and sentenced by due proceae of law, lo be hanged.- For some reason or other the District Attorney took it into bis bead that Maurer ought to make a confession of guilt before lire execution, but as the latter obetl uately refused to do this, Halt contrived an ex. pedieut for forcing him to do so, more diabolical in its conception than the inquisitorial horrors of the middle ages. His acncnse was to frighten the criminal into a confession by placing tbe bead of the murdered man before his eyes which was accomplished in the following man ner : Maurer one day naked for water to bsjue bis face, aa there was nose in his cell. He was told to go into the adjoiniag cell, where he wouid find the conveniences required. Entering tbe cell, he approached a pail of water, nod beading lover it, saw the ghastly face of the man he had murdered floating on the surface. The horrible trick wa# repeated many timea, until the wretched criminal was driven to a state of in sanity, and Attorney Platt we are lold, regaled himself by watching the effect# of bis cruel scheme upon the victim, each time tbe ghastly spectacle was exhibited to him. This then i* the way justice ia administered in the civilized North—and yet Northern paper# have tbe face to Cry out against the barbarism and lawlessness of the Mouth. If a man has committed murder, let him be hanged, and then justice has done her work; but to torture crimin als till they are driven to insaoity, is a piece of heatheoi'b barbarity, more worthy of the ninth than the nineteenth century. If this is Northern civi'ixatinn, Northern law and justice, let ns rather hate South#** violent—Ku Klox with tbeir clumsy iMsgoise*, are nothing to the horrors of playing scarecrow with a dead mans bead. [cnitUI'SICATXD ] Thorough Preparation Euential to Suc cessful Tilling of the Soil No. 2. Washixgtox, o*., Nov. 15, 18*9. Editor OattHe: In trading of this sobjeot last week, I promised Ur follow it up by shew ing bow necessary time may be eecured without real loss, when is time, ami what coostilutea thorough preparation. Ist. To Secure the Time Make up your mind that it will pay,and firmly resolve b>carry it into effeot. ‘'Where there is a will, there will bo x way." Little by little accomplishes much in time. “0n» step and then another,, and the longest journey Is ended." From September Ist, to December 26th, there are about one hundred working day*; and from January Ist to May Ist, one hundred more. Certainly one half of tide tiiuo can be safely counted 00, as good plowing weather in ordinary year#—neither too wet nor too dry. A good plowman, with a good plow and a good team, well furl, can average his two acres per day—making 200 acres,or full as much land as thirteen freedmen, with close attention, will thoroughly cultivate. Now, who will not admit that, in that number (or even less) of h ‘lids, one may uot be so employed, and not ba missed in the results us crop gathering sod grain' sowing, and the team would other wise be idle most of the time. Sometimes the cotton field may hade very templing, but let the plowman stick lo hie plow, and Ibe other twelve pick, each, a few pound* more, and the cotton is picked ton. This much to show that time ean be secured for this port of the work—fall and winter plow ing. A better plan ie to have a good plow for each pair of plow animals, and for a few days after each rain in the full, and whau dry enough in |a)i<i winter, let the plowing be done, and then all hands t« the crop again: Ibis, for many reasons, is the better plan—but more apt to interfere with other things—and hence more difficult to carry out. Will not all admit that in this way, the land on any plan'at ion, may be thoroughly brokvnl The next difficulty to overcome is the haste farmers get in to plant toon. A good fault, (when ready) for some crops, and ra*ber a bad one for others, and good for none, without a preparation beforehand. Make haste slowly, is now a good maxim to fol low. One swallow does not make a Summer, so he not deceived by a few bright, warm day# in Jueuary, Remember aow, aou lie curbed by the motto. “Whatever is worth doing atall, i# veil worth doing well." Let th. determination be, not how much, but how well you can make ready. You cau work the laud better than the crop. Bow by row, elowly it may be, but sure ly, the largest field is made ready ; ami when well planted—who is ahead—if the assertion mnde by many successful farmers be true, of a well planted crop, lie who with a lick and a promise, lias planted, or may l>e over the first time,or, yourself, who can now make every lick tell, and when over the first lime, puls his crop n lietter condition than the other can with the second I Your herd work is over, and your hitherto hard worked stock i< now improving, on light work, white hie work grows harder and harder, and teams thinner and thinner, as the days grow longer and hotter. 11l conclusion, uuder this head, I confidently assert that tlioiougli preparation is a saving of time—either by enabling you lo cultivate well mm V acres, where so prepared, or by making tha sumo or larger yield, on lower acres, and thereby save plowing apd time, in the harvesting. Who will deny that it takes less time to gather 100 bushel# of corn from 20 than from forty acres, or, pick twenty bale# of cotton from 26 to 80, than from rixty acres. Our county would uot formerly, (if it does now,) have made a bet ter average. PROGRESS. November 15th, 1569. Tna Bora to Build up Usenet*—The Macon Telegraph says; “Our attention was culled an evening or two since to a velocipede which two lads—.4ngua Mo Alpine and William Wallace— bad made. The lad* are fifteen or eigbteeu year* old, aud have been learning to be machinists for the last twelve months in the Macon and Western Railroad shops of this city. They made the machine alluded to, out and out, except the wheels, ami the piece of work would be a credit to much older heads and hands tliau theirs." The Georgia Railroad makes the following showing of ita recent business: Gross earnings for Sept. 1868, $ 78 100 Gross earning* for Sept. 1869, 119 000 Increase in Sept. ’69 over ’6B, s4l 000 Gross earnings for OcL 1868, 98 000 Gross earnings for Oct. 1869, 140 000 Increase in Oct, ’69 over ’6B, s4l 00 Gross earniugs both mouths,’6B, 176 000 Orossearnmgs botlt months,’66, 959 000 Increase both months Otar ’6B, f 88 000 A dangerous counterfeit waa stopped at th* First National Bank of Macon yesterday, pur porting to be a S2O bill of the National Bank of Commerce, New* Y’ork, letter B.
