GEORGIA CLOVER.
Several years ago there was consider
able interest manifested in a variety of
clover ( Sespediia Striata —Georgia clo
ver), which made its appearauco jest
after the war in our State. It grows
anywhere, and first made its appearance
on the side of tho most worn roads,
where all the soil had been washed
away.
Its appearance was greeted by many
as a God send, to accomplish the won
derful results that have followed the
growing of clover throughout the North,
West, and Southern States of Virginia
and Maryland.
Our agricultural papers were filled
with accounts of the marvelous recupe
ration of the laud iu the States above
mentioned. The Commissioner of Ag
riculture, Gen. Capeuox, published an
accouut of the system followed by him,
which restored worn out tobacco lauds
to their virgin fertility ‘in the State of
Maryland, and Jonathan Carter deli
vered a lecture before the Agricultural
Society of Virginia on the same subject,
which was published.
The anticipation that our variety of
clover would j*rove as valuable to us as
the variety grown in the North and
West has to those States, furnished the
sanguine agricultural writers with a
glittering theme to discourse on. But,
wlas, for their hopes—like every tiling
■else that promises success to Southern
farmers, nothing of utility has resulted
from the appearance of Sespediia. We
liave never seen it attain any sizt—but
neither have we seen volunteer of the
varie'y of clover grown in Virginia any
thing but a stunted plant, totally unfit
for forage and sodding purpo-cs.
It is possible that the same attention
bestowed on our variety of clover might
develop as valuable a crop as is their s.
However, we did not intend to dis
cus? Setprdiza with referenoe to either
it hay or sodding value, but to call at
tention to the fact that it will choice
out Bermuda-grass, broom sedge, and, '
we believe, nut-grass.
In the Court-house yard, iu Waynes
boro’, the Bermuda grass is nearly-crad
icated, aud we have had our attention
called to a small patch of nut-grass that
was invaded by Setpediza about a year
*ince, with every appearance of gaining
a complete victory over it. If we aro
right in ou- observations and prognos
tics this will be a God send, indeed.
Persons who know nothing of nut-grass
ennnotimagiue what a pest it is. Burke
county farmers generally know, and it
10 not necessary to tell them that if it
faina the night after it has been hoed,
jit will need hoeing the next morning.
,and that it in impossible to get a stand
cotton in a field infested with it. We
bave seen it grow through an Irish po
tato with a nut inside of the potato. Wo
jiave beard that it will grow through a
brick, but can’t vouch for that,
Wp do not kqovr how to propagate
Georgia clover, but honestly believo
that in tbe future it is to bo of great
benefit to us. t

Morton will preach at the Presbyterian
4&urch on Sunday next, both morning

Thk recent rains have caused cotton
crops to beoqroe very grassy. A farmer

Sos(ETrt|XO New Under tiie Sou.- -A new era
is dawning upon the life of women. Hitherto sho
has been called upon to suffer the ilh of mankind
ani her own besides. The frequent and distress
ing irregularities peculiar to her sex have long
been to her the “direful spring of woes unnum
bered.” In the mnrfSlon of the rich and in the
hovel of poverty alike woman has been the cod
stant yet patient victim of a thousand ills un
known to man—and these without a remedy.—
“Oh, Lord, how long *” in the agony of her soul
hath she cried But now the hour of her re
demption is come ho will suffer no more, for

Commenting ou tho Mexican muss,
the Now York Ihr aid thinks that it
probably means another slice of territo
ry, and remarks:
“The old Roman fallacy of never
ending annexations is not the policy for
the United States. We must stop our
mad c areer in this direction while yet
we may, or wo shall soon be drifting
headlong to confusion and dissolution.
A confederation of independent repub
lics is tho true American iudea of
streugth and prosperity. We hope that
President Grant, profiting by his St.
Domingo experience, will be extremely
cautious in pursuing the ignis fatmu of
‘manifest destiny’ into Mexico, drifting
onward in that direction, wc shall in
evitably become a discordant mixture
of diverse elements, races, languages
and institutions which cannot hold to
gether.”
Prince Edward’s Island has at length
consented to join the Dominion of Can
ada. The island is to have six repre
sentatives in the Canadian Parliament,
besides supporting the expensive and
useless machinery of local government.
The Colony held out long against the
presturefor annexation, and it is under
stood that some of the influences which
proved so effective in Nova Scotia were
brought to bear in Charlotte town. New
foundland is still independent, but it is
expected that she will soon follow the
example of her sister island.

their day, and we hear no more of thorn. Their
proprietors have made fortunes, not so much from
the curative powers and virtues of their mixtures,
as from the notoriety given thorn by advertising,
by whioh people were made to believe all tho
good that was said of them. A preparation is

known, and it is being introduced everywhere.
Wo are informod that immense quantities of this
medicine aro being sold in all sections of the

A MODEL FARM AND FARMER.
Ouo of the most successful planters
in the State, and a resident of our own
city, gavo tho writer some particulars
concerning the management of his own
planting interest in Southwest Georgia,
which are reproduced for tho benefit of
our readers :
Tho plantation iu question embraces
about 3,000 acres, of which 42,500 have
boon cleared. The area under cultiva
tion is as follows: Cotton 000 ncres,
corn 400, oats 250 and potatoes 10.
Fifty freedman. of whom fivo only are
women, and thirty plows constitute the
laboring force of the place.
The operatives receive 40 cents per
dictn nud rations, half of which sum is
paid in quarterly instalments, and the
remainder held over until the close of
the year. In addition, one acre of land is
cultivated by the proprietor for each
freedman, and those who have stock of
their own and families arc permitted to
rent as much land as they can attend
at the nominal figure of 60 pounds of
seed cotton per acre. The terms of the
contract require each laborer to bo in
the field at sunrise and continue work
under the direction of competent over
seers until dusk, with two hours of rest
at noon.
Forty tons of commercial manures
have been applied to the crops, and
twenty tons of manipulated, manufac ur
cd on the farm from ingredients fur
nished by Messrs. Hunt, Rankin &
Lamar. The bacon necessary to afford
rations to the laborers amounted to 18,-
000 pounds, at an average cost of ten
cents per pound. Of breadstuffs and
stock feed very nearly sufficient was
raised on the premises. For all this
meat, guano, etc., the owner paid the
cash down, and no crop lien ot any des
cription hangs like the sword of Damas
cus over his head. Ilis oat crop is
beautiful, and enables him to sell seve
ral thousands bushels of coru the en
suing year; and with anything like a
favorable season the cotton will pro -
dnee 400 bates.
This gentleman can laugh at hard
times, and afford to raise corton at even
ten cents per pound. Nor does he ex
perience the least difficulty in procuring
all the labor he needs on the terms
above stated.
Our farmers need nevev expect to
thrive until they return to the
system and bo content to regulate the
size of their farm by tho means at their
command. Pursuing this course, they
will progress slowly but surely, and
soon regain their former independence.
As matters arc now conducted, however,
with the ignis fatuus of big crops and
big prices ever luring them on, tho prof
its of middle men and exorbitant rates
of interest to be met, and tho hazards of
tempest, drought and worm to encoun
ter, also, who can wonder that disap
pointment, and bankruptcy so often over
take tbe farmer ? Telegraph Messcn
