A OKPARTHmr UP AORICULTURE.
Anything calculated to advance the inter
ests of agriculture is desirable, and shall al-
ways receive onr hearty support. But scheme*
looking in that direction should be practical
and well considered. Mauy that are well
meant are either pernicious, or so illy con
structed as either to deteat or fall short of the
object sought to be accomplished. Friend
ship should always be discriminating in its
support. A good cause is often damaged by
the injudicious measure* of its friends intend
ed to uphold and advance it.
Of this latter class of measures we are dis
posed to regard the bill “to establish a De
partment of Agriculture,” which passed the
House some days ago, and is now under con
sideration in the Senate. We have a printed
copy before ns,And have given a careful exami
nation to'^ts various provisions. Our opinion
is, that it 6houid not pass into a law, and
we will mention only a few of the reasons
why.
First: It is an expensive bill, requiring a
much greater expenditure of money than the
State should make in view of oil the facts that
bear upon the case.
Second: It is au unnecessary measure
The State, through scientific agencies already
established In its Agricultural Colleges, a*
well as by aid of the State Agricultural So
ciety, having already provided for most of
the work of a practical nature to be accom
plished by the bill.
Third: What these agencies do not secure
to the State, may be expected at the hands
of the State Geologist, an officer contem
plated by a bill which has already ptssed the
House, and, we hope, will meet the approval
of the Senate.
Fourth: The bill, if a good one, needs re
committal in order to perfect and make prac
tical its details. The head of the Depart
ment, for instance, has duties enough assigned
him to employ the entire time of a half-dozen
Intelligent experts, and yet he is allowed but
one clerk at a salary of twelve hundred
dollars.
We might mention other defects of the bill
as they occurred to ue when reading it, but
these, if we are correct m our opinion, are
enough to condemn it. We are far behind in
our agriculture, and we are ready to second
any intelligent proposition for its advance
ment, but we cannot look upon the bill un
der consideration as one calculated to meet
the caao. If the bill creating the
office of State Geologist should pass, we are
much inclined to the opinion that, with our
Agricultural College and State Society, ener
gized as they appear to be at present, it
would he beet to stand as wc are until experi
ence shall have developed some new neces
•ity.

Washington, February 21, 1874.
ALMOST A BOW IN THE HOUSE.
A disgraceful scene occurred in the H- use
yesterday, in which two Democratic members
from Kentucky were the participants, Mr.
Beck and Mr. Crossland. The latter gentle
man, it seems, represents a district in which
he has considerable opposition, by reason of
bis votes in favor of tne “salary grab,” and
then against its repeal. Tuis opposition be
is battling against; and as a wea
pon of defense be is fighting the
restoration of the franking priv
ilege. In the coarse of debate yesterday up
on the bill, providing for a partial restoration
of tma privilege, Mr. Beck indirectly attack
ed Crussland, and attributed his present
coarse to ••Buncombe, etc.” Thereupon
CrogHUnd approached him, gesticulating
wildly and shaking his fist in Beck s face,
denounced him bitterly. The contusion fora
few moments wa* great, the members gather
ing around In a groap, and the speaker rap
ping incessantly with his gavel. Amid the
THE WHISK V WAR IN TENNESSEE.
So long as the female temperance crusader?-
had to deal exclasivrly with men they had
plain sailing and easy victories. They bad
only to pat the prettiest girls in the van to
bring ebout a speedy surrender at discretion
in all ordinary cases, and when beauty failed,
a few prayers and tears were sure to do the
work. But in Tennessee, in the classic vil
la^e of Greenville, redolent of mountain air
and the august presence of Andy Johnson,
the crusaders have found a lion in their patt
and a most formidable one, in fact, a lioness
in the person of one Mrs. Ward, a ft male
tapster of genuine Irish extraction. Now,
this Mrs. Ward, as is the case with her sex
generally, is not particularly sensitive to fe-
mate charms, and cordially.believes in her
right to manage her own private affairs in ber
own way. Intrenched in her humble fortress,
no amount of female influence, in all its va-
forms, has been able to drive ber from
stronghold, or inxpire the first thoughts
surrender. A full description of the
> will be lound in oa^oolamn*. Carious
now the result, we have eagerly sought
day’s later intelligence from the scene of
on, and find it thu* recorded: “The be-
ging force isoertainly making no percepti-
b e advance towards the capture of the ene
my's works. Mrs. Ward still holds her cita
del, and is as defiant as ever, if not more so.
8tiil do the feminine crusaders sit opposite
her saloon, sending their projectiles of prayer
and song towards the beseiged fortress, and
still is Mrs. Ward unconquered and appa
rently unconquerable.” Here we have a hero
ine indeed, ani we shall not be surprised if
the fierce .resistance of Mrs. Ward should
change the entire fortunes of the whisky war
in Tennessee. Man's extremity is woman's
opportunity. We go an oyster supper on
Bridget against the field !
In our issue of the 22d instant, in alluding
to the “Veterans of the Mexican War from
the State of Georgia.” and mentioning the
aamea of some of the officers of the Regular
Army who were bora in the State of Georgia
and served in the Regular Army daring the
Mexican war, we stated that we would be
glad to publish the names of any who were
not enumerated. Since then we lesra that
Oaptain T. R. McConnell, who was an old
line United States Army officer, having grad
uated at West Point iu 1810, and served under
the command of General Scott daring the
Mexcan War, on his march from Vera Cruz
to the City of Mexico, w as a Georgian. He
aecepted a commission in the Confederate
Army after the secession of Georgia, was as
signed to duty at Mobile, Alabama, and died
at that place on the 20th of April. 1801, being
the first old line army officer who died in the
Confederate service.
We slew a man yesterday for contending
that the magnificent picture of Lookout
Mountain in yester laj’s Constitution was a
sketch oi Castleberry’s Hill with the barracks
in the foreground. Bload is nothing to ns,
where the honor of journalism is concerned.
The most casual observer, by reading the
words “Lookout Mountain,” neatly printed
at the bottom of the picture, could have dis
covered at a glaoce what the graphio mloe-
hill was intended for. Thus it i6, however.
Thera are wretches who scoff at all oar efforts
to elevate the profession of printing. We,
for one, shall never have the heart to print a
mountain.
general confusion and crie9 for “order,
order,” the remarks of Crossland
could not be distinctly heard, but it
is understood that they were bitterly pointed
a»d extremely denunciatory of Beck. Daring
the scene Mr. Beck preserved his equanimity
«nd remained silent. It was reported last
uigbt that a duel was on the tapis, but the
combined efforts of the rest of the Kentucky
delegation has brought about an amicable ad
justment This morning Mr. Beck was in
ms place and expressed his regrets at the re
marks he bad made yesterday in the heat of
debate. Thereupon Mr Crossland accepted
the amende honorable, and the statesmen ot the
“dark and bloodv ground” once more smoke
“the pipe of peace.”
“OOD IN THE CONSTITUTION. ” *
The House Committee on the Judiciary
have reported on a petition “for the acknowl
edgment ot Almighty God and the Christian
religion in the Constitution,” that: Upon ex
amination of the meagre debates by the
fathers of the Repnblic in the convention
which framed the Constitution, we find that
the subject of this memorial was most fully
and carefully considered, and that the con
vention decided, after grave deliberation, to
which the subject was entitled, that as this
country, the foundation of whose government
they were then laying, was to be the home of
the oppressed of all nations of the earth,
whether Christian or pagan, and fall realiza
tion of the dangers which the union between
church and State has imposed noon so many
cations of tbe Old World, with great unanim
ity tbat it w&§ inexpedient to put anything
into the Constitution or frame of government
which might be construed to be a reference
to any religions creeds or doctrines; and we
farther find thAt this decision was accepted by
oar Christian fathers with such great unanimi
ty tbat in the amendments which were after
wards proposed in order to make the Consti
tution more acceptable to the nation, none
has ever been proposed to the States by which
this wise determination ot the fathers has
been attempted to be changed; wherefore.
y< ur committee report that it is inexpedient
to legislate upon the subject of the memorial,
and ask tbat they may be discharged from the
further consideration thereof.
GENERAL COOK AND HIS “GARDEN SEED.”
A few days since the Georgia delegation
missed the honorable member from the Third
District, from his “usual haunts.” A “com-
uittee of investigation” was forthwith order
ed. when General Cook was found in tbe Ag
ricultural Department grounds, with a “war
feather” in his cap, and a double barrel gnn
either shoulder, demanding ot
the Superintendent of the Grounds.
‘six mule team load of garden
seeds.” He said the ultima thule of ambition

his district whs “SHed” und h« •*«.in!d he

gance in a matter of this sort.
TUB GEORGIA OTTICR SCRAMBLE—BARD ON TRIAL.
This morning the celebrated case of tbe
“Farrow clique vs. Samuel Bard,” (this is
the style of the case taken from “Idaho”
himself) was called op for discussion before
the Senate Poat-office Committee. Freeman
and Whiteley for Pi’ff “Camilla” Fierce and
“Chap Norris,” for Defdt Freeman opened
his case by reading a dispatch from Henry
P. Farrow, dated Atlauta, February 19,
charging tbat “Bard was instrumental in
having the colored men tnrned out of the
Georgia Legislature,” daring the military
reign; that an article published by him, in
the New Era in 1867, under the title of “Let
them perish by the wayside” was the 4 ‘in
direct course ot the as-assination of Adkins
and Ayer," and winding up with a grand
peroratiou about Lis confirmation being a
“blow struck at the life of Georgia Republi
canism.” Mr. Freeman then charged that
Bard “was financially a failnrr; that he could
not give the necessary bond; tbat he was a
bankrupt debtor ot Bo*s Tweed’s and Joe
Brown (Who said par nobilefrotrv.m ?) tbat he
was politically a failure; that he had support
ed Hoflm&a tor President and Gordon for
Governor; that he had ofiered to support
Greeley tor a moneyed consideration,and that
his confirmation would be generally disas
trous to Republicanism in Atlanta.” In proof
of this charge as to the sup
port of Greeley, he read a letter
from Sayles J. Bowen ot Washington, and
late secretary of the Greeley National Com
mittee, in which Bowen states that Bard made
overtures to support Greeley, if be could be
paid for it, and that he (Boweu) declined the
proffer. Mr. Whiteley then followed on the
“general issue.” Then came “Camilla” Pierce
for the “Duke of Idaho.” He denied each
and all of the allegations of Freeman, and
lauded Bard for his awotion to the fltg,
country and party. Then came Chap Norn*.
Chap was making the“fur fly” trom the Georgia
ring like chaff from a patent wheat thresh,
when he was stopped short by a motion for
the ••ommittae to “rUe and report progress.”
Before this was done, however, Bard “got in”
a few teliing blows for himself; once or twice
“lagging” the Griffin Congressman “under
the belt.” By dint of a good deal of ques
tioniog I have found out that a majority ot
the committee wiil report to the next Execu
tive session of the Senate tbat “Bard is
fit person to be made postmaster
at Atlanta.” Thus wiil end the “agony. **
Bard has certainly made a splendid running
fight, and has completely demolished the
hopes of all, who 4 hang trembling on his
fate.” As for Barwald. he leaves for Georgia
in tbe morning satisfied that his enemy is in
fall retreat. Victory, bright and eagle-eyed
perches upon the banner of th's Americas
brave! The “spice” hereafter will bs wafted
from the “sand-hills of Augusta”; the “seven
billed city,” and you needn’t be surprised to
hear a new ditty, 4 ‘when the Farrows home
ward fly.”

“aced” department finally succumbed to the
charge of tbe determined Georgian, and tbe
last seen of Cook, he was mounted on a “ bag
of seed,” with seed to the right and seed to

ANTE-BELLUM MAIL CONTRACTS
are having a hard time of It. Senator Gor
don’s bill went yesterday to the committee on
poMtoffices, where it will remain. Congress
seems determined not to pay these claims al
tb« present time. Delays and omissions to
pay just debts would rain first class merchants
an) where, bat the government, rich and pow
erful, resorts to all species of special plead
ing to delay and prevent the payment of its
just debts. Creditors of Uncle Sam may rail
and growl and ‘‘protest” weekly, but “Re
publics are ungrateful,"and rarely pay, when
they can decently get out. The mail con
tractors of the South may eventually get
something.
THE SEDUCTION ON LXTTEB POBTAOE.
The bill of Mr. Dawes reducing letter post
age to two cents will probably be allowed to
slumber in committee. The P stmaster Gen
eral thinks its adoption woold seriously inter
fere with the postal card system, and that the
demand for tbe redaction does not warrant
any change in the present rate of postage at
this time. Tho bill, it is understood, was
offered more for the purpose of obtaining the
senseof the House on the question of cheap
postage than with the view of pressing its
passage immediately.
AN ALABAMA COTPEB MINE.
A representative of the great English min
ing firm of “Donald Brothers, Birmingham,”
was in Washington yesterday, making inqui
ries relative to mining lands in the South.
Mr. Donald, (one ot the firm,) starts South
the coming week. He proposes to visit what
is said to be an extensive copper mine m
Randolph county, Alabama, belonging to
ex-Govornor Wo. H Smith. Mr. D. will so
journ a few days at Chattanooga. I advised
him to go on to Atlanta, as the members of
the Georgia Assembly from the “ore” coun
ties could furnish him with valuable in
formation.
UNITED STATES TBOOP3 IN ATLANTA.
Gen. Belknap stated to your correspon
dent this morning, in reply to an interroga
tory. “that if the bill reducing the regular
army,” was passed, he should order McPher
son Barracks to be closed, and all tbe troops
in Georgia to tbe Indian frontier. The prev
alent idea is that the bill to which be alludes
will pass.
CONGRESSMEN AT LABOZ FB0M ALABAMA.
Tbs Judiciary Committee of the House
yesterday reported a bill that was passed, le
galizing elections for two Congressmen at
Urge from Alabama. This action was ren
dered necessary because the General Assem
bly of that Bute failed to agree upon a bill
redistricting the State. It is said that Gen.
Butler holds tbe opinion that as the Btate
was not redistrictea by the General Assem
bly, it ii the doty of Congress to do it A
bill for this purpose will be introdnoed in a
few days, and if it passes, tbe Republicans
claim they will have six certain Republican
districtsin that State. So much for the
wrangling of tbe General Assembly of Ala
bama over the apportionment bill.
THE “CENTENNIAL” HUMBCO AOAIN.
“Pig Iron” Kelley made another “check
mate” move on the National Treasury on
Wednesday. The first move, ae 1 wrote yon
before, wee to get Congress to invite foreign
powers to participate in the Centennial Exhi
bition. That succeeded, and was a “catoh.”
On Wednesday sir. Kelly wanted Congress to
meet in Philadelphia, on the fonrth ot Sep
tember, to “celebrate,” etc. Well, that
“meeting” resolution failed, but it will come
up again. AU these moves are simply
preliminary to making a “big grab”
from the Treasury. When this centennial
matter wn flr*t mooted, tbe idee that
Congress would be called upon to aid the af
fair was hooted at It wae to be pnrely a
Pennsylvania affair; bat now tbe thing has
ohanged, and the projectors of the movement
are smoothly committing credulous Congress
men to their giganlio grab and stupendous
humbug. On the yea and nay vote, Wednes
day. Mr. Bell alone voted for the resolutions.
It is to be hoped eineerdy, that when the
“tug” comes, Mr. Bell wiU refuse to vote for

SAD DEATH OP A JOURNALIST.
The Colombia, South C.trolinn, Phoenix of
Friday thus records tie untimely death of a
young gentleman, who ha« be»*n largely con
nected with the press of that State:
It becomes our painful duty to announce
the death, yesterday, of Mr. William H. Mc-
Caw, under peculiarly sad circumstances. It
appears that Mr. McCaw, on Wednesday
night, Was alone in his office in Law Range,
engaged in writing his accustomed letter to
the Cnarleston New* and Courier, when in
some manner his clothing caught tire. Un
able to extinguishjbe flames, he rushed down
stairs and into tbe second story ol tbe ad-
oining tenement, calling tor aid. Messrs.
L. E. LeConte and J. Quitman Marshall,
hearing his cries, came to his a-Mstance, and
succeeded in extinguishing the flames, but
not until he had received fatal injuries. Drs.
Darby, Gibbes and Howe rendered all assist
ance possible, but to no purpose. The un-
fortunate gentleman lingered until 2:30 p. m.,
yesterday, when he brtatbed his last.
Mr. McCaw was a native ot Abbeville
county, and bad just passed the twenty-
eighth year of his age. Iu his connection
with the Goardian. tbe Phoenix, the South
Carolinian and the News and Courier, he
evinced a brilliancy of talent and a fearless
ness and honesty of purpose that won tbe
admiration and respect ot all classes. Mr.
McCaw leaves a wile and three children and
a host of friends. His ontimely death has
spread a gloom over the entire community.
nature’* Cattiartle.
So medicine is needed to keep the bowels
in order as long as nature's cathartic, the
bile, flows freely and regularly from its source
in the liver, and is of the right strength and
quality. But the great biliary glund is easi
ly disordered, and the consequences of iis ir
regularities are serious. To bring it back to
its natural condition when thus affected,
Hostel tor’s Stomach Bitters should be taken
at least twice a day until tbe desired object is
attained. Constipation is due to a scant sup
ply ot bile, or to a lack of tbe stimulating ele
ment in the fluid. Iu either case mere pur
gation ia useless. The liver must be com
pelled to yield the supply of bile necessary to
remove the waste matter from tbe system At
least once in twenty-four hours before a radi-
O il care ot costiveness can be accomplished.
Hostetter’s Bitters produces this effect. Its
action upon the stomach and liver is direct
aud salatary, aud through these organs it re-
galatee and invigorates ths whole frame.

ComDOund Eaual to Peruvian
Cuano for $I5 Per Ton.
T HOUGHTFUL men who have devoted themseivaa
to the Agncaiture of this country, aod e*| ecially
of the South, where agriculture ho« been and musk
continue to be the leading pursuit, have long since
felt convinced that the greatest boon which cculc be
vonensafed to us would be a
CHEAP MANURE.
There Is no slavery like that which dooms a man to
■npport a family on poor land, and unless we can get
hold of a cheap manure, this is the oestinv reserved
not only tor us iu the South, but likewise for tbe
whole country. Hitherto we bsve had in the South
a system of labor which enables us to clear land and
wear it ont and then move west, to richer lands. But
this process can go on no longer, and each year we
have seen our lauds wearing out until all over the
country tbe cry has gone up what can we do to return
their fertility.
We have tried Guano and the results are before ne.
All through New England farms are being abandoned
and In the South the Sheriff holds the keys to a large
number of corn cribs. This year has been especially
disastrous. The low price of cotton has entailed ruin
upon hundreds who have Lena to meet for guano and
provisians.
Just st this time a discovery is made which can be
demonstrated to all who will take the time to inve«ti-
gate it. It is simply this.
Professor Dodge Hay war d
ho*, after fifty year* of study, discovered a COM
POUND. which can be manufactured and sold in A I*
lanta for from $15 to $20 per ton, equal to any bupeg
Phosphate ever eoldi n the market.
He claims that it is equal to the best Peruvian G«-

place in tuoes precisely alike the prizes which are
placed in the smaller wheel. Both wheels will then
be turned until their contents are thoroughly mixed.
A boy under fifteen years, blindfolded, will then draw
from the larger wheel one of the 12,000
tickets, and holding it up in fell view oi me spectators
and auditors, its number will be called by the crier
appoints-d for this purpose, so that all present may
hear. The number wiil then ba passed to the com
mittee of citizens, who will aay whether the number
has been lightly called. It will then be passed to a
registrar, who will file it, and record it upon a book
prepared for that purpose. A boy of similar age will
then draw from the smaller wheel one of the tubes
coiitaming a prize, which will be opened and held np
to the view ol the spectators and auditors. The valas
‘of the real estate prize will then be cried, and passed
to the committee, who, after inspection, will give It
to another registrar to file and record. The ptiae
thus drawn will belong to the ticket bearing the num
ber drawn Immediately before it. Thus this process
will continue, drawing first from the large wheel con
taining the ticket*.and then from the small or pr z*
wheel, until all tbe tubes containing the prises are
drawn. An accurate record of the above will be kept
on file, certified to by the committee of disinterested
citizens officiating.
The Prizes below three hundred dollars in value are
approximations, and will be determined and paid as
follows: Tbe numbers of all the tickets sold being
considered in a circle, numerically formed, and hav
ing the hignest number, 12.600, and the lowest, L
brought together, then whatever number in this cir
cle may be by lot determined to be entitled to the
capital prize of $25,000 will be taken as a centre, on
each side of which the next three hundred numbers
in numerical oroer will be counted for th* ten dollar
prizes, thus making on the two sides of the capital
the six hundred nearest numbers, each of which will
be entitled to a real estate prize of ten dollars. All
the tickets drawlrg larger prises wiil be excluded, and
the circle extended to include six hundred on both
sides of the capital, being three hundred on each
side, it beiDg the purpose ol the management not ts
duplicate prizes.
Moskt—All money received from soles of tickets
will be deposited in bank immediately on receipt of
remittances.
Transfer or Tim*—Within ten day# after the
drawing, parties putting real estate on th6 market un
der this scheme, are required to make good, valid
and unencumbered tltlee thereto to the Georgia Real
Estate aud Immigration Company—said Company ob
ligating themselves to transier such title in fte sim
ple to the party or parties who may draw such prise

I, the receiver and purchaser of a book, entitled
•The Science of Agriculture Completed.’ by Dodge
Hayward, of Miller's rolls, Mass , in 1870, am to uss
the some for my own benefit, on my own form, and
not on my neighbors. I also promise not to divnlg*
its contents, or lend or give the book tc any one, oc
carelessly leave it out of tts proper place for safe keep
ing until the year 1880. All this as above, both im
letter and spirit, 1, the purchaser and owner of this
book, do promise on my word and honor to keep m
good faith.
This Is nc humbug. It is no scheme to make a dis
honest dollar. All tbe discoverer asks is that he may
be fairly heard, and his science investigated before ha
is condemned. In proof of this, he mokes the follow
ing proposition:
Send five dollars to his general agent. Col. R. A.
Alston, who will forward the book and a receipt, ia
which he agrees to deposit the money in bank os year
trustee. Give the compound a loir trial during th*
coming year on all your crop*, side bv side with Peru
vian guano, or any other standard fertilizer, and on
the 1st day ot November next, if you find that you
have been deceived, and have failed to reap tbe prom
ised benefits froq^ it. Col. Alston is authorised and in
structed to return yoar money. If I can make a
fairer proposition, I don’t know how to moke it. 1
will remain in Atlanta until the trial is made.
