George S. and Mrs. Emma Johnston. "Our lives cut off In our young prime of years, are like green herbs, With which we strew the hearses of our friends: For as their virtue gathered, when they’re green, Before they wither, or corrupt, is best. Then we should not weep for those Who sink within the arms of death Ere yet the chilling wintry breath Of sorrow o’er them blows.” Wk learn that a Grange of the Pat rone of Husbandry is soon to be organ ized in this place.

Waynesboro Academy. —lt is grati fying to know that this institution has fallon under the care of Rev. John N. Wilcox —a gentleman of culture, re finement, and experience, and withal, a man whose first duty is to his God. Cardinal Wolsey charged Cromwell first to serve God— attributing his own failure to his preferment of pomp and power. With a good man the youth will be safe—this is the verdict of ages with but few exceptions —mor- als will be advanced, education enhanc ed, and tho hearts of patron, pupil, and principal rejoiced.

Editors: —As previously ad vertised in the 73d, 74th, aud 75th dis tricts, a meeting of the citizens was held on Saturday, 16th inst., at "Birdsville,” better known as “Dr. Jones’ Stores,” for the purpose of organizing a Cavalry Company, when R. A. Murphey, Esq., was called to the chair, and W. H. La nier requested to act as secretary. After the object of tho meeting was stated, about forty-fivo names were en rolled, and the company proceeded to elect officers, which resulted as follows: R. A. Murphey, Captain. James Gordon, First Lieutenant. C. T. Belt, Second Lieutenant. W. 11. Lanier, Second Lieut. Jr., E. L. Crump, M. D., Surgeon. Upon resolution the company was styled-the “Smith Dragoons,” in honor of our worthy Governor; and further resolved that the object of this meeting be published in The Expositor. The meeting then adjourned until Saturday, September 6th, when the members will re-assemble at Dr. Jones’ Stores to elect nofi-commissiou officers, .decide where their regular parade ground shall be, and for the transaction of any other business that may come before the meeting. Respectfully, yours, W. 11. Lanier, Secretary.* Supplying the Indians with Improved Firearms. A dispatch from Washington says “That the Indian policy of the govern ment is most fearfully and wonderfully constructed, no longer admits of doubt. It is designed to civilize the noble red man, and to that end every means within the reach of the peace commis sion in their opinion calculated to ad vance the Sioux, Apache, or Arrapa hoes, is uustintingly furnished. There was received at the War Department Monday such proof of this statement that will gladden the heart of every of ficer and soldier stationed on the fron tier. The commanding officer of a military post on the Missouri, 1,500 miles from St. Louis, ‘officially reports that the steamer which passed up the river laden exclusively with tho gov ernment annuity goods had on board a number of boxes marked hardware, an inspection of which -showed them to contain Sharp’s rifles, with abundance of ammunition. The boxes were in voiced hatchets, saws, hammers, chisels, etc. Two thousand stand of these peacemaker? had been smuggled on board, and of* course when they were landed at the .agency it would not pay to return them to St. Louis, tho cheap er and more humane policy being to sell them to the noble Indian for a con sideration. General Sheridan in for warding this report says that if it is the policy of the government to furnish In dians with firearms, the muzzle-loader will answer every purpose for hunting or the chase; but if it is to put them on an equality with the army, and make them superior to the frontier set tlers, the purchase of the latest approv ed patterns of weapons is probably the proper thing to do.” Important Discovery. —Galileo invonteJ tho telescope; Colurabua discovered anew world j Ilarvey, tho circulation of tho blood, and to Prof. Morse is due tho credit of teaching the lightning how to talk, but it was reserved taDr. J.

It is believed the court found them all guilty and sentenced them to be banged. The Agricultural Returns of Georgia. Our efficient Comptroller General an! his assistants yesterday completed tho footing up of tho agricultural books returned by tho various Tax lteoeivcra throughout the State. In tho tablo of aggregates which wc givo below the re turns of the entire State arc included, with tho exception of twclvo counties. The Tax lleoeivors of these counties up to yesterday afternoon had not sent in their books, but they will probably do so in a few days. These agricultural returns aro taken under a special act of tho last Legisla ture, and hence we have not the returns of the previous years with which to com pare them, and thus ascertain the in crease or decrease of any particular item. On account of the novelty of these returns, many of tho receivers have failed to understand thoroughly how they were to be taken, although printed instructions and forms were uis tributed to eaoh from the Comptroller’s Office. Consequently some of the items are by no means perfectly reliable. Thus many of the receivers, by mistake failed to ascertain the number of cat tle, stock, etc., or acres planted in vine yards, orchaids, potatoes, etc., in the cities, but obtained these returns only foi the counties exclusive of the towns. This makes a grave difference in the aggregates, for in many oounties the towns contain nearly as much live stock, and more vineyards or orchards than the balauce of the county put together. The other returns may be relied upon as comparatively accurate. Number of acres planted in cotton, 1,702,169 1-2. Number of acres planted in rice, 6,- 952 1-2. Number of rcres planted in wheat, 278,057. Number of acres planted in Rye, 18,- 668. Number of acres planted in oats, 354^04. Number of acres planted in Indian corn, 1,701,468. Number of acres planted in sweet po tatoes, 83,949. Number of acres planted in Irish po tatoes, 1,940. Number of acres planted in tobacco, 411. Number of acres planted in sugar cane, 5,857. Number of acres planted in sorghum, 3,481. Number ot acres planted in clover and seeds, 16,451. Number of acres plauted in vineyards, 383. ; Nunfbcr of acres planted in orchards. 83,349. Number of acres planted in peanuts, 15,413 1-2. Number of sheep in Georgia, 471,- 084. Number of dogs in Georgia, 115,874. Number of hogs in Georgia, 730,814. Number of horses and mules in Geor gia, 139,597. Number of cattle in Georgia, 534,- 833. Number of cotton factories in Geor gia. 25. Number of cotton spindles in Geor gia, 79,057. Number of woolen factories in Geor gia, 5. Number of woolen spindles in Geor gia, 872. Number of carding machines in Geor gia, 65. Number of iron furnaces and foun deries in Georgia, 10. In Richmond county there are 1,256 acres in melons, and in Bibb county there are 143 goats. Houston county returns the largest quauity of land in cultivation of any one county, and Appling the largest number of cattle, Washington is next to Hous ton in its return of agricultural pro ducts. Houston has in cotton, 55,173 acres; in corn, 38,253 acres. It has, also, 2,- 627 dogs and 7,175 hogs Washington has in cotton, 47,798, acres; in corn, 45,879. It has, also, 2,364 dogs, and 14,370 hogs. In Houston county tho darkies arc largely in the majority, and a compari son of its hogs and dogs with those in Washington county, proves conclusive ly tho fact that dogs increase in a di rect ratio as the darkies, and that on the other hand hogs decrease in a double inverse ratio. Hog raising is evidently not a success just now. in Houston. Appling makes the largest return of cattle in the State, returning 7,824 head.— Constitution. THE COTTON MANUFACTURES OF THE UNITED STATES. v * Speaking broadly it may be said that tho prospects of the cotton manufactur ers of tho United States wero never better than they aro now. Wo havo some advantages over all other nations for the manufacture of coarso ootton goods, and wc arc confident that at no distant day they will tell in dur favor, enabling us to regain aud extend tho export trade in cottons which we had before tho war. That trade was large ly with the South American States.— The stoppage of the cotton supply from the United States occasioned by tho war stimulated tho production of the staplo in various other countries, and it was a natural consequence that South America, not having the enter prise to maufacturo for herself, should take cotton goods from Great Britain in exchange for-the raw material sho produced. The war was not less unfavorable in its effects ou tliis industry in Great Britain than in our own country. Wo find on page 125 of Mr. Brassey’s book on “Work aud Wages” some interesting statistics of the textile manufactures of the United Kingdom, from which it appeared that tho number of cotton mills decreased from 2,887 in 1861 to 2,549 in 1868, and the number of per sons employed from 451,569, to 401,064. In the United States the number of es tablishments fell from 1,091 in 1860 to 956 in 1870, or in about the same pro portion as in Great Britain. Owing to the defective manner in which our census is taken the remaining statistics, at least those collected in 1860, can uot be depended on, even for purposes of comparison. There appears to be a falling off in the quantity of eottou worked up and at the same time an in crease in the number of persons and spindles employed, which is, to say the least, improbable. Within the last three or four years a number of large factories have been built at Fall River, Cohoes and other places, including’some fine mills in the South, and the trade reports show a gratifying increase in the quantity of cotton taken by manufacturers for con sumption in the United States. The average number of bales consumed in this country in each of the three years, 1858 9-60, was not quite eight hun dred thousand. The average for the three years 1870 1-2 is nearly eleven hundred thousand. This is fully com mensurate with the increase in popula tion, though the price of the raw cot ion used has nearly doubled. The crop of the cotton year just ending has only four times been surpassed, three times before the war and once since.— It is certain that with any approach to good government in the South the aver age cotton crop would surpass the crops of the ante-war period, and tho trade and manufactures of that region receive a corresponding benefit. —Neio •York Tribune. Bkadfiblp’s Female Regulator.—We have often read in tho newspapers of the grand success of medical compounds put up at the North and elsewhere. Many of thoso mcdicinos have had their day, and we hear no more of them. Their proprietors have made fort unes, not so much from the curative powers and virtues of their mixtures, as from (he notoriety given them by advertising, by which peoplo were madje to beliovo all the good that was said of them. A preparation is now before the public, which is becoming very popular, and is known as Bralflold’s Femtfte Regulator, put up by L. 11. Bradfield, of Atlanta, Ga., at 81. SO per bottle. Such is its curativo virtues that it has gained wido-spread populari ty all over the country where it has been mado known, and it is being introduced everywhere. Wo are informed that immense quantities of this medicine are bciDg sold, in all sections ef tho South and Southwest, especially in the city of New Orleans and in Texas. This much we say in justice to its proprietor, who is a gentleman of integrity, and who would now engage in the manufacture and sale of a humbug. —LaGrange Rcj)orter. B. F.
