MACON, MARCH 22 1870.
“How Crops Feed.”
Is a book for 'which ire are indebted to
OraBgo, Judd & Co., 245 Broadway, publishers
of this and numerous other agricultural books,
and also of that sterling paper, the American
Agriculturist. This book is written by Professor
Samuel W. Johnson, of Yale College, and is a
scientific treatise upon the origin, character and
composition of soils, and the whole theory and
prooess of vegetable nutrition and development.
When a man has studied and digested this book,
he will be’able to mature his own theories upon
the treatment of his lands and crops and need
not blindly follow the example of others, which
may, in fact, be wholly inapplicable to his own
condition. He will understand the character of
his soil—the demands of his crops—the manner
in which they derive nutrition,- and can, there
fore, intelligently adapt means to ends. He
need not be told whether he should plough
deeply or shallowly, or keep bis soil loose and
friable or just scrape, the surface, during the
progress of his growing crops.
The Snprcme Court Legal Tender
Decision.
Tho Philadelphia Press says Mr. J. W. Wal
lace, United States Supreme Court Reporter,
has recently written a letter which, although
private and non-official, must be credited with
consideralfte weight. Mr. Wallace does not
think that the recent decision of the Coart on
the legal tender question will be repealed, and
giving tho reason of the faith that is in him, al
leges that “the whole history of the Supreme
Conrt of the United States records no snocessfnl
effort at such an attempt. ” Moreover, he states
that there is no caso on the docket now which
involves the question, and that it would take
two or three years to bring a new one into shape
for a decision in’the present crowded state of
the list. Mr. Wallace asserts positively that the
decision applies to interest as well as to princi
pal
Avery** little Game.
We published, yesterday, a telegram addroas-
ed to two Senators at Washington, and signed
by one W. L. Avery, which contained a most
wicked and infamous slander upon the people
of this State.
Avery declared, in that dispatch, that the
passage of the Bingham amendment had “set
the worst elements in sooiety wild, and now the
cry of a damned Republican hurled after
rmm is as terifio as ever the cry of a damned
Abolitionist was, before the war.”
This statement, as every honest man in Geor
gia knows, is an atrocious falsehood, manufact
ured for a special purpose, and that purpose
the defeat, by the Senate, of tbe amendment in
question. Bat Avery has another end in view
also, in sending this dispatch. He is largely in
terested in the construction of the Brunswick
and Albany railroad, which has the State’s en
dorsement of its bonds to the amount of $15,-
000, in gold, per mile. The passage of that bill
by the Legislature, and the strong suspicion
entertained and expressed at the time of tbe
very questionable means used to secure a fa
vorable result, are well remembered by all One
of the conditions of this aid was that fifty miles
of the road should be finished by (we believe)
tbe 18th of this month. Col Halbert was pnt
in charge, and has been pushing it forward with
his usual zeal and energy. But the condition iB
about to fail, and now comes Avery’s lying dis
patch. The cry of persecution is raised in or
der to save the company from the penalty of
non-fnlfillment of their contract. If Bollock
There are various rumors concerning the fn
tore of the bold Butler. One is, that the ne
groes are going to run him for the next Presi
dent on a colored ticket of their own. The
other is, that he Is to find a competitor for his
seat in Congress in one Ben Poore, a newspaper
correspondent of democratic proclivities. Of
course, Butler is at liberty to take bis choice,
just as ho has been at liberty for some time
past to take whatever he conld get his hands on
and carry off.
Very good for the Chicago Times, but it
hasn't got Poore rightly classified. He is just
about as much of a Democrat, as Butler is of an
honest man. He ought to beat Butler, though,
anywhere in Massachusetts, for when Butler
was s fierce Democrat he (Poore) was showing
his'“proclivities” for Radicalism by giving a
mulatto boll in the town of Athens, in this State.
If Poore rnns ns well for Congress as he did
from the nauseated, indignant citizens of that
place, he'll beat the Beast all hollow.
■ The Reconstructed New Em Should Con
trol Itself.—It has a right perhaps to be a
little exuberant, bnt on the whole it is better to
be quiet and composed. The Era, in the ex
cess of its friskiness says Bryant denounces the
Telegraph and Messenger as a paper “subsid
ized by Bullock.” Let the New Era give us the
accusation in form—when and where charged
by Bryant—and then we will think over the
superfluous work of noticing it.
Watson, the poetical city editor of the New
Era shares in the general friskiness of that es
tablishment. He is out bragging that Atlanta
will ontdo Augusta in the show of pretty women.
But the truth is Watson can’t tell a pretty wo
man when he sees her.
The Virginia Legislature has passed the
homestead bill exempting ten thousand dollars
of property from execution.
That if truo, is really nn important exemp
tion. It will do away with the farce of collect
ing debts by law, which interferes with the right
kind of credit and bothers people who wish to
attend their own business with sitting on juries.
Another Trice.—The pretended caucus of
colored legislators at Atlanta, a few days ago,
was small—two-thirds of them being at their
homes. Some of Gov. Bullock’s friends got np
the protest against the Georgia Bill, which was
telegraphed to Revels, and signed colored men’s
names to it without their knowledge or consent.
A New York letter writer says stroDg influ
ences are at work to prevent the trial of MoFar-

savory developments from the philosophers,
male and female, of the higher law and higher
love school.
An election for Intendent and Wardens of the
town of Edgefield, South Carolina, took place
on Monday. There was no contest, as both
parties had previously agreed upon the same

newspaper,” and a negro member of the Agency
over there. Whew!
Virginia. Colored Emigrants.—A Charleston
Courier correspondent says the blacks are en
couraged to emigrate from Virginia by offers of
twenty-two dollars a month &Dd transportation

live thousand negroes, all from Virginia, have
passed in the last two months.

succeeds in his plans, why Avery A Co., will
oome before tbe Agency with this story of per
secution, force, etc., and at Bullock’s nod, who
is said to be largely interested in the specula
tion, Avery & Co., have their time extended,
and perhaps make a good thing out of it, besides,
in the way of damages. This is the little game,
the first card in which was played by Avery’s
dispatob. It works two way, politically and
financially. It helps to kill the Bingham amend
ment, and by so doing secures a long lease of
power in hands that will not exact of Avery &
Co., the lawful penalties for non-fnlfillment of
contract. Isn’t it a neatly pnt up job?
As to the change made in the Radioal paper
at Atlanta a day or two since, that interested
parties were interfering with, and intimidating
the employes of this road, and to correct which
Terry had been called on for troops, wo now ex
actly understand it. Avery & Co., have not
paid their laborers, and the laborers have quit
work. They have been receiving tbe Company’s
promises to pay, and have been forced to bawk
them about the streets of Brunswick in order to
get money to live upon. In no case, as we are
informed, has this scrip realized them more than
50 cents on the dollar. So for a dollar’s worth of
work they have been paid balf a dollar.
This is all the fonndation there is for tbe
huge lie about persecution, intimidation, etc.
The whole game of Avery is exposed. He and
his carpet-bag associates have failed or refused
to pay their hands; the bands have very natur
ally quit work; the $15,000 in gold per mile
guaranteed by the State is about to be forfeit
ed; and to save themselves, financially, as
well as forward tbe political schemes of their
good friend and co-partner, Bullock, they call
on Terry for troops, and send forward to Wash
ington a howl of “loyal” anguish to influence
the vote of Radical Senators on a measure that
digs the political grave of Bullock & Co.
This is the milk in Avery’s cocoa nnt conclu
sively accounted for. The demonstration proves
that he is neither to be relied upon as a rail
road man, nor as anything else than a malig
nant, mendacious Radical emissary. If any
body knows of a more characteristic attempt,
even on the part of any other member of his
class, to'cover up bis own shortcomings as a bus
iness man, and at the same time to stab and ruin
the people among whom he is living, in order
to gratify partisan bate—we shall be glad to
have the particulars thereof. Wo are sorry the
Brunswick and Albany Railroad bas fallen into
such hands.
P. S. Since writing the above, wo have
learned some additional foots about Avery that
may throw more light upon his little game. He
is from Vermont, and is known about Atlanta
as “Jndge” Avery. He bas an office in the
Opera House, and it is believed is largely in
terested in the sale of that concern to the State.
He was very prominent in the passage of the
Brunswick and Albany railroad bill through-the
Legislature, and was charged with being the
party who drew the checks on Geo. Opdyke &
Co., New York bankers, that exercised such a
marvellous influence in changing the opinions
of certain members. Of coarse he is a very
'loyal” man. When Bollock was in Washing
ton in December getting his Georgia bill through,
Avery was one of his bosom friends and allies,
and is understood to have materially aided in
the passage of the bill
With such antecedents how conld Avery send
on to Washington anything else than a real
whopper.” Next time he need not sign his
name. We assure him people will not be liablo
to saddle upon anybody else the magnificent
creations of Ms own mendacity.
The Georgia BUI.
The Richmond Dispatch, of Saturday, has this
telegram from Washington. It tells ns some*
thing we had not heard before with reference
to the cause of not holding a second Senatorial
caucus:
The proposed caucus of Republican Senators
that was to have been held this morning to set
tle the Georgia controversy, and determine
whether or not the Bingham amendment to tbe
House bill should be sustained was abandoned.
It was discovered that a number of Senators
would not consent that their action should be
controlled by a decision of the caucus.
Father Greeley, in the Tribune, of Saturday,
thus bewails the non-action of the Senate on
the bill It would seem that the old man thinks
it vastly more important that the Connecticut
darkies shonld vote, than that Bullook should
carry his point We axe glad to know that the
wMte men of Connecticut are to have one more
fair opportunity of redeeming their State from
Radicalism.
Congress has, for weeks, been entreated to
close the work of reconstruction, so as to -ena
ble tbe fifteen hundred colored men now dis
franchised in Connecticut to vote at our next
eleotion. This is the last day on whioh they
could be admitted to suffrage by the laws of that
State ; and still tbe President is debarred from
issuing the long-expected Proclamation by the
delay of the Senate to concur in the action of
the House respecting Georgia. Those who have
precluded such concurrence have invoked a fea-
ful responsibility.
Gold and Prices.
The Cincinnati Gazette contrasts prices July
8, 1862, when gold was at 1.11$, with prices
March 8, 1870, with gold at 1.10J. They are
Cincinnati quotations, and we append a few in
the order of dates: Superfine floor, 3.80@3.90,
4.60@4.75; white wheat, 80@4.07; com, 35@
75; pig iron, 25.00@28.00, 45.00@50.00; bar
iron, 2£@3$, 8J@4$; N. O. molasses, 43@47,
75@SO; ooffee, 20@22, 18@24; Cheese, 6,16;
mess pork, 9.00@10.00, 26.00; bulk aides, 4 J@
5,13; lard, 7$, 13$; sugar cured hams, 8®8£,
17® 18; N. O. sugar, 8j@9$, 10J@13. There
is a heavy difference in favor of western produce
and iron, particularly on western meats,
whioh bear almost three prioes. Why should
the West make such a poor showing in trade and
paying debts? She is getting comparatively
higher prioes for her produoe than the cotton
planters. Cotton in ante bell am times was
worth ten eenta, and is now worth twenty; bat
pork was worth nine to ten dollars, and is now
worth tnutpsh
Hick It Ont.
The Clarice (Yu , Courier calls attention to
the fact that J. £. Lippincott’s new Biograph
ical Dictionary contains complimentary notices
of such creatures as that old horse-thief and
murderer John Brown, and Beast Butler. To
show that we do not do this work injustice, we
quote its words about old Brown:
“Brown, (John,) of Ossawattomie, a distin
guished champion of liberty,” etc. His birth
and life, and the murderous Harper’s Ferry
raid are referred to at length, without even a
hint of disapproval of any of the many deeds
of blood and violenco that characterized his
whole career.
Of the Beast it says:
“Butler, (Benjamin Franklin,) * • *
A great outcry was made against Mm for his
order that any female who should insult an
officer or soldier should be regarded and held
liable to be treated as a woman of the town,
plying her avocation,’ ” which, according to
Parton, “had a salutary effect” It will be seen
that this candidate for Southern patronage ap
proves what it puts “according to Parton.”
Again: “At New Orleans,” says Parton, “he
was magnificently right, both in theory and
praotice.”
These specimens will suffice to give Southern
readers an idea of what they are bnying, when
they invest in one of “Lippincott’s BiograpM-
cal Dictionaries.” When such characters as
Brown and Butler are apotheosized in a book
that 86eks patronage among those who would
not be human did they not loathe the very
names of such bitter, relentless enemies, it is
our duty, as we conceive it, to let the public
Enow it. Old John Brown was aimply a horse
and negro thief and murderer, and was tried,
convicted, and hong by an honest jury upon
unimpeachable evidence thereof. Beast Butler
is not only our implacable enemy, politically,
but stands convicted, to-day, in the estimation
of all honorable men, everywhere, of crimeB
that anywhere outside the Badical party of the
United States, wonld banish him from decent
society.
“Judge” Avery.
Editors Telegraph and Messenger—While in
Atlanta during the _Iate session of the Legisla
ture, a man, who had rendered himself conspic
uous as a lobby member, was pointed out to the
writer as Judge Avery, a Northern man, repre
senting some railroad in the lower part of the
State—the Brunswick and Albany road, if I am
not mistaken—and Ms object was said to be to
procure some additional legislation granting
material aid by the State to the road which he
represents. He was seen constantly in com
pany with some of the prominent lobbyists of
Atlanta. This is the axe which he has to grind,
and as h9 looks to the Congressional Agency at
Atlanta for aid, it accounts for his slanderous
telegram to two Senators at WasMngton. Let
him be recollected when be goes before the
Legislature with his project to get State aid to
“enable him to spend millions of Northern
money in building railroads in Georgia.”

Wo quote, as follows, from the Constitution:
Cartersville, Ga., March 12, 1870.
Editor Constitution : Deab Sm—I believe the
Radicals deny paying off the State Road hands

More Radical Opinion or Kill lev’s
Georgia Bill.
We published yesterday what the Chicago
Tribune, the leading Radical paper of the North
west thought of Butler’s bill. We publish, lie-
low what the St. Lonis Democrat, another Radi
cal paper of great weight and ability has to
say of it:
The object was to continue in power a set of
men who were not willing to go before the peo
ple for re-election, and the fact that those men
are Republicans ought not to prevent anybody
from realizing that the measure was one of
purely partisan legislation. If Georgia is fit
for self-government at all, then no man or party
has any business to hold power there unless by
votes of the people under the laws of tho State,
and if Congress does not deem it safe to give to
Georgia self-government in its broadest sense,
it has no other decent remedy except to pnt the
community under military power and keep it
there. The fact that General Butler and his
committee have never proposed tho latter
course shows that they know it will be impossi
ble to sustain before the country the claim that
Georgia is not fit for self-government. The
successive measures of reconstruction devised
for that State have all been shaped in some de
gree to give the power to certain men or a cer
tain party, instead of flatly denying the fitness of
the State to govern itself, and have been so far
in violation of the principles which we think
onght to govern all snch legislation. The Re
publican party cannot afford to use its national
jower to legislate its friends into office in any
State.
The Democrat also analyzes the vote on the
Bingham Amendment, end shows that from the
“Northern States only 43 members voted
against the amendment, of whom 24 were from
Pennsylvania, Massachusetts and Wisconsin.
But 50 Republicans fromNortbern States voted
for the amendment. From States formerly
slave holding, only 7 Republicans voted for the
amendment, while 28 voted against it. Thus
52 of the 71 votes for Butler's bill came from
the Southern States, Pennsylvania, Massachus
etts and Wisconsin, while a clear majority of
all the Republicans from the North went against.
We do not think the meaning of these figures
can be mistaken. Ihcy mean that the meas
ures which Republicans from the South demand
are not supported by a majority of the Republi
cans at the North, whiie they are opposed by all
the Democrats.”
It also declares that the heavy Pennsylvania
and Massachusetts vote against the Bingham
amendment, was the result of a tariff trade
with the carpet-baggers, who, for this opposi-
tion to the amendment, pledged their votes to
just snch a tariff as Pennsylvania and Massa
chusetts wished.
Convention of S. Carolina Editors.
To-day the South Carolina anli-Radical Edi.
tors hold a meeting in Columbia, to take the
political situation into consideration. If they
see any light, we hope they will point it ont and
let us see too. But we are much like the old
Dutchman, who had gathered his vrow and
family at midnight, up into the dark garret, in
a fearful thunderstorm. After a while, old Jaoob
called to Ms son—“Hanns, you looks ont der
schattle and see what you sees!” “Yaw vader,
says Hans—“I sees notin bat der dark—and dor
doonder and der blixen!”
In a few minutes old Jacob spoke again,
‘Hauns, you looks our der schattle and sees vat
you sees." “Yaw, vader,” and looking ont
Hans spied from behind the chimney the fiery
orbs of a big black Thomas cat blazing into Ms
face through tbe Cimmerian darkness. Shut
ting down the Seattle in trembling baste, Hans
cries “Vader, I sees der tuyvel—dat’s vat I
sees.” “Veil, Hauns, you sets down and looks
no more,” said the old man.
We fear the speerings of the South Carolina
anti-Badioal Editorial Convention will be at
tended with no better resnlt They will see
darkness “doonder and blixen,” and, we fear,
“der tuyvel,” too—but if their better optics
can discern a streak of daylight, please let us
know early—in time to prepare for it

corresponding period last year. The orop is
estimated at 3,000,000. The weekly receipts
will soon begin to fall off and a larger stock is
likely to be carried over than last year, as hold
ers generally are opposed to selling at present
quotations. Exports to date, 1,305,255 bales,
against 904,116 last year. Stock, 553,894 bales,
or in excess of last year by 152,000. A consid

have washed away a bridge on tbe Macon and
Augusta railroad, near Mayfield, and that it will
probably take several days to repair damage.
We learn that a difficulty occurred at Mrs.
Roberson's plantation near this city on yester
day, between Pen Roberson and McCoy on one
side, and a young man by the name of Brickett,
who was overseeing for Mrs. Roberson, on the
other. Mr. Briekett was shot, and is reported
mortally wounded, and Mrs. Roberson was shot
in the foot. Wu have not heard the particvlars.
The case will probably be investigated by the
proDer authorities to-day.
Since writing the above, wo learn that Mr.
Brickett is deak.

The Constitutionalist gives the following ac
count of the freshet in the Savannah river at
that point:
The Freshet Damage—Thr Danger Over.—
The heavy rise in the Savannah river from the
terrifio rain storm of Friday and Saturday,
thanks to a meroifnl Providence, did not resnlt
in the general overflow of the oity and destruc
tion of property threatened at half-past 10
o’clock on Saturday night, when, as reported in
the Constitutionalist of Sunday, the water had
risen at the city bridge to the height of 26 feet.
Daring Saturday night and Sunday morning
the river continued to ’swell in volnme, until at
2, p. m., on Sunday, its greatest height was At
tained at 30 feet C inohes, the Mgbest point
reached since 1865. Although three or four
feet short of the height required to flood Broad
street and deluge cellars and private residences
in exposed portions of the city, the backwater
from the canal was foroed into several other
streets, in sufficient quantity to answer the de
mands of batteau navigation. On upper Jones
street, a considerable number of these light
draft vessels were employed for purposes of
convenience to water-bound residents. Forcing
itself through the sewer from the third level of
the canal the water oovered Fenwick street for
two squares, from Jackson street east, to the
depth of throe or four feet, to the damage of
several bridges and crossings, and the threaten
ing of the residents and property holders with a
perfect delnge from the canid. The impending
danger to this locality was averted by same of
the citizens, who, apprehensive iff the deetroo
The Chronicle and Sentinel says:
Railroad Accidents —It seems that the re
cent heavy rains have been general throughout
the country, and their effects felt elsewhere
than in this oity. The railroads have been the
principal sufferers, and two mishaps to them
have been reported.
At a late hoar on last Sunday night, Superin
tendent S. E. Johnson, of the Georgia Railroad,
received a dispatch from Milledgeville, stating
that in consequence of several land slides on
tbe line of the Macon and Augusta Railroad,
and the sinking of the benches of two of the
bridges, that no trains conld ran through to
Camak until the damages had been repaired.
On yesterday morning a force of laborers nn-
Road-Master Printup were sent from this city
to the scene of action, and Supervisor SMpley
has also been dispatohed to the Macon road. It
is supposed that the road will be in running or
der within two or three days, but until the re
pairs are finished, no freight will be received for
shipment to points on this railway.
On the Charlotte, Columbia and Augusta
Railroad a portion of the trestle near Pine
House was washed away, and a land riide oc
curred also on the same road on last evening.
The train from Charlotte, whioh was dne here
on Saturday night at half past nine o’olock, did
not reach the depot until Sunday morning at
three o'clock. The train left as usual on Sun
day and yesterday mornings.
From the Monroe Advertiser, of yesterday,
we get the following items:
Bridges.—Tho results of the flood last week
seem to have been disastrous. We learn that
the middle tier of the Wilson bridge on the In
dian Spring road has been washed away, render
ing it unsafe for travel Active steps will be at
once taken to repair tbe injury, and it is proba
ble that in a very short time the condition of
the bridge will once more be snch as to warrant
general travel
We also learn that the new Lamar bridge has
gone “the way Ward’s ducks went”—to-wit:
down the river.
Cuffee and the Newspapers.—The colored
brethren have become great newspaper readers
of late, and a very large mail, composed mostly
of Bryant’s Georgia Republican, the New Era,
and Swayze’s incendiary paper, now comes to
them through the postoffice here. One old moke
was discovered the other day busily engaged in
reading a Radical paper upside down. He says
he can read just as easy that way as any other.
It’s all in being used to it.
Serious Accident.—Mr. Ben. Zeliner, son of
John Zeliner, Esq., was dangeiously wounded
in the leg some weeks ago, by the accidental
discharge of Ms gun while taking it down from
the rack over the door. The limb was amputa
ted by Drs. Rudisill and Roddey last week. It
was feared that inflammation ha.d taken plaee
before amputation, bnt we are glad to learn that
he was doing tolerably well yesterday.
Corn.—Those of our farmers who had plant
ed corn previous to the rains on last Friday and
Saturday, will probably have their work to do
over again. The recently ploughed lands in
many portions of the country are terribly wash
ed, we learn, and much damage done to farm
ing operations in various ways.
Wheat.—The condition of wheat in this sec
tion, from all the information we can gather on
the subject, still continues to be very promising.
We are told by those who ought to know that if
the seasons are at all favorable, the crop will
be something more than an average one.
Fruit.—Notwithstanding the freeze last week,
wo still think the frait prospect very good.
Some of it is killed, without a doubt, but if no
disaster befalls that which remains, there will
be enough for “home consumption.” '

and weighing some 42,000 pounds, for a monu

It is rumored in Atlanta, that Senator Post
master Dunning will resign when the Agency

A Greensboro correspondent of the Constitu

Yesterday, the 13th instant, occurred a fatal
rencontre between Messrs. A. H. Evans and
Jesse Nunn, of Taliaferro county, in whioh
Evans, with a rifle gun, shot Nnnn through the
thigh, cutting a large artery therein, and killed
him within a few hours. The homicide occurred
at or near Evans’ house, about four miles from
Crawfordviile. Evans is’ still at large. F-
Georgia Gold Mines.—Under tins head, the
Atlanta Era says :
Somewhere in Cherokee connty, near the
Etowah river, is dne of those mines that has
for years been regarded as one of the richest in
the whole region. It is called the Pasco mine,
after the name of the man who first owned and
dug there for gold. He realized well from Ms
labor. He died soon, and it is related of a troth
that Ms widow herself dug out eighty thousand
dollars of gold in a few years. It then became
too great a thing even for. an industrious widow.
It went into the hands of a company which
failed jost as they had placed in position ade
quate machinery to work it. Then came law
suits and doubtful titles, and first and second
mortgages, until the thing got to where anybody
was afraid to touch it. It was sold, a short time
since, under the sheriff’s hammer, and Capt
Reinhardt and Maj. H. J. Spray berry, of this
city, were the fortunate purchasers. There afe
seven veins running the whole length of the
property, varying in width from two to twenty
feet. A shrewd capitalist of this city has
bought a third interest in this mine, and it may
be expeoted that specimens of this ore will he
taken from all these deposits at a very early
day.
The suit of Mrs. Patterson, against the Equi
table Life Assurance Company to recover a
$10,000 policy held by his husband in that

The Columbus Sun gives the following par
ticulars of a horrible murder committed on Sun
day, in Harris connty:
Mr. Wm. A. Boswell lives near Waverly Ball,
in Harris connty, nineteen miles from Colum
bus. He had a tittle boy about thirteen years
of age. When John Robinson’s circus was go
ing from here to Hamilton, a negro about nine
teen years of age, by careless driving, broke
one of the wheels of a wagon, whioh bore a por
tion of the animals, for which he was severely
wMpped and discharged from the company.
This happened near Mr. Boswell’s plaoe. Need
ing hands, he employed the negro on the 17th
of February. The colored man had behaved
himself very well sinoe as a laborer.
On Sunday, Mr B., with his family, went vis
iting after dinner, and left behind his little boy
and this , negro. . All returned ■ about 8 p. u.,
when they found the house ransacked from one
end to the other. The child was discovered ly
ing dead on the floor of the hen house, with a
hole made by a pistol ball through Ms head.
The weapon had been fired so dose that Ms hat
was Binged by the burning powder. The negro
was gone. There was no money or valuable
portables in the house to move, but a pistol had
been stolen. Tbe supposition was that the ne
gro had robbed the house and been discovered
by the boy, whom he had IriUsd to prevent hie
telling.
The negro was caught, Monday morning,
near Ellerslie, Harris consty, bnt the Snn did
not learn what disposition had been «**» of

memorialtoed Congress per Revels, are hard to

freely, when some of them voted ten or a dozen
times at the lari election, and would have voted

The Savannah Republican wants to bear from

The Sandersville Georgian reports v£ ry heavy
rains in that secton. Rain commenced falling
Friday afternoon about five o’olock, and oontin
ued till Saturday night at 12 o’clock, almost
without intermission. Water courses were very
much swollen and some damage done to mills.
About sixty feet of Dr. Parson’s mill-dam was
carried away and the mill-house came near go
ing.
The Georgian states that Mr. W. M. Moses,
late of Colnmbus, has bought a farm in Wash
ington county for the purpose of raising fruit,
peaches principally.
The Georgian says:
Mr. George M. Brantley, of tLis county, has
laid upon our table an eagle’s foot measuring
about eight inches from point to point. Mr.

The Prospects of the Tear.
From the New York Mercantile Journal.1
It is rarely, indeed, that the history of com'
mercial nations presents snch singular anoma
lies as may be noted in the business position of
the United States, at this moment. After
year of great agricultural sneoess, of heavy im
migration from abroad, and rapid settlement
throughout the West; with the Sonth swiftly
recuperating, and the first grand link between
the Atlantio and Pacifio seaboards completed in
the Pacific Railroad, we find trade dull, in all
directions.
We are daily told that the national debt has
been decreased by nearly $100,000,000, and
that gold has been foroed down from 1.45 to
1.11; that we bavs nearly, if not quite, got
possession of San Domingo, and that onr for
eign relations are as amioable and pleasant as
our domestic affairs are ealm and conciliatory.
In a word, we are assured from official quarters
that all’s well, and that if anything seems to ns
wrong, the trouble resides only in onr imagina
tion. There is no difficulty—we only think
there is.
So reasoned the German savant with Ms
neighbor at the dinner-table:—“My dear sir,
said he, “we do not really exist; we only think
that we exist!”
At that very instant, a blundering waiter
spilled a plateful of scalding soup down the sa
vant’s back, whereupon the learned man uttered
some very genuine groans and imprecations,
“My dear sir,” now retorted the neighbor,
“becalm! be calm! yon are not hurt,—not
scalded,—you only think that yon are!”
It wculd be quite a job, we imagine, to make
our tradesmen believe that all their pangs and
pinoMng are mere fancy work. They see, not
a gain of one hundred millions in the traffic of
the nation, but the sheer loss many hundred
millions. Even the sudden downward rash of
gold has inflicted stinging deficits upon some of
them, and in the present shilly-shally policy of
the powers that be, they find no consolation.—
Even our foreign affairs are in such shape aa let
ting them take care of themselves usually brings
about; and all tho nations of the earth will ab
stain from making war upon our cringing fee
bleness so long as we know onr subordinate
place and hnmbly keep it. San Domingo may,
indeed, be a stupendous fraud, but, like tbe
Alabama claims, (so styled,) it serves to amuse
the groundlings.
And why is all tMs ? The band of Providence
has showered plenty on onr fields; no pestilence
has ranged onr populous cities; our race is as
robust, energetic, and enterprising as ever; the
spaces open to our cultivation have widened,
and onr numbers have increase d. What ails us,
then ? Wnat blight has fallen upon our facul
ties ? A grave question, requiring a serious
answer!
If the reader witi, without losing sight of the
query thus propounded to Mm, oast his gaze
for a moment beyond tbe Atlantic, be will see
that the very first effort of each country that
has recently stepped into the ranks of progress
ia to de-centralize power, or, in other words, to
emancipate the various provinces and interests
of each land from the death-grip of the capital
city. Austria, under the wise van Benst min
istry, is rapidly doing this. Italy, under Victor
Emannel, has, for three or fonr years, been
straggling toward the same goal and now,
France is openly calling for the tike action on
the part of her rulers.
On this side of the Ocean, the impulse,
strange to say, is in the opposite direction.
The movement hero is, decidedly, toward the
concentration of all control in the hands of the
Central Government. This reaction against
our free municipal forms began amid the exi
gencies of a terrible intestine war; bnt, instead
of ceasing with that war, has gathered force in
some directions, since its doBe. Alarmed for
onr National autonomy, onr people learned, be
tween 1861 and 1865, to look to Washington
City as the citadel of safety, and to bow to
every decree that issned thence, and the habit
has remained now that conflict ia over. Thus,
too, even the grand trade centre of New York
has pinned ita financial faith to the general gov
ernment’s financiers, and has fluctuated, dan
gled, vibrated, sMvered, and trembled with
every puff of rumor from the Treasury and
Congress. WitMn a few months we have seen
the whole monetary surface shaken hero, as by
an earthquake, in oonsequenoe of wMsperings,
real or pretended, from tbe vicinity of tbe White
House, also; and, since then, business bas hong
suspended, bnt without animation, on the prom
ise of tMs or that financial measure from the
Capitol
Herein is the true secret of onr trade stagna
tion—the growing dependence on Washington,
and the concentration of money influences
there. The nation is paralyzed, in order that a
few officials may be enabled to make a delusive
show of good management, and of prosperity
that don’t exist—of ready payments to foreign
creditors, while home industry and trade are
going to the dogs—of that return to specie pay
ments (in sums less than one dollar!) wMch, to
our starving mechanics and onr rained mer
chants, is the very insnlt of deception flaunted
before their eyes, like a glittering toy before
the gaze of thoughtless ohtidren, wMle they are
deooyed from the real and substantial benefits
to whioh they are entitled.
If onr trading classes will be content with
this delusion, then the proepeots of the year are
more than doubtful; since, once again, they
torn from the solid land of sflund legislation and
well directed effort to the mirage of artificial
liquidation of the debt, and make-believe re
sumption of specie payments.
Gold is the Will o’ the Wisp that haunts and
misleads the many, still; and things look as
though business wonld go dancing and skipping
after it, until it land* in the financial mire.
Within the tost twelvemonth, there k U i

consent to a reduction of from twenty to
ty-five per cent. In many other tide, J
has been a great reduction of pay withii ^

as laborers.

toes; ooal has fallen largely; while cotton

Though the wages of many kinds of meckiM
and laborers have bean redneed within
few months, or during the past year waw,
yet, on an average, twice as high, noil
as before the war. Since the heayy
gold, employers have been very genenli,

ing to bring the rates of wages «,«»
nearer the peace standard than they b»ui

shonld display some apprehension in vj n

on all hands that the inflated prices of tis,

Coin in tbe United State*.
The New York Financial Chronicle, of the
12th, has toe following:
The official returns of the banks for the year
1860 show that at the close of that year there
was $83,000,000 df specie in the banks. To
this most be added the amount of gold and sil
ver in general use outside of the banks, which,
if estimated at only $2 per head of population,
would amount to $65,000,000. It is perhaps
reasonable, therefore, to estimate the supply of
coin in the oonntry, ten years ago, atabont
$150,000,000. If these estimates are approxi
mately aocurate, we reach the conclusion that
the stock of’boin in the oonntry is not materi
ally in exoess of the stock of 1860.
