The World's specials of the 14tb say that the
Germans aroand Paris, ore short of supplies on
account of bad roads, and some of tho troops
bad been without meat three days. Such was
the csndiiion of the roads that four thousand
horses had been ordered from Germany* to as
sist in hauling the.siege guns from the railway
termini to fortifications. 'J'boy further assert
that, the Paris army was 200,000 strong-well
fed, and in good health and spirits, and that the
city conld yet hold out throe months. That
Ducrot’s sortie had demonstrated the relative
weakness of the besiegers, and be was confident
of bis ability to break the German lines at the
proper moment The operations of the Paris
garrison hud compelled the besiegers to fall
back and. extend their lines, so that they were
relatively weak in point of men, although their
field works had been enormously strengthened.
Tiac iSetsI is Slone!
Washington City lias lost Foraoy sure enough!
How pregnant with woe nod J^ars is the simplo
announcement! Losing Aiwa, she well aiigh
loses her all. The loss is indeed irreparable,
and to that afflicted community wo extend onr
most lugubrious condolences. How the stricken
hearts of that city will ever ba comforted, is
mote than wo can imagine. Let us Lope that
“God will temper the wind to the shorn
lanib.” Grant should proclaim a day of “fast
ing humiliation and prayer,” to testify a sor
rowing Nation’s grief at such a stroke, and
Bollock immediately follow suit with a supple
mental order for cr.po on the left arm, and
double stealage for thirty day s.
Our feelings overcome us. G-o-o-d b-y-e,

Wo have to thank Messrs. J. W. Burke & C
for two very readable books—“Cross Purposes”
and “Dorothy Fox.” “Cro.^s Purposes,'by Mr.
T. C. De Leon, late managing editor of the Mo
bile Register, is n Christmas story told with nil
tho writer's peculiar charm and brilliancy. We
have read it wuh eager interest, and it fills the
fullest measure of our expectation. We can
imagine nothing mare luxuriously delightful
this “bitter St. Agnts weather,” ihan a cosy
corner flanking a roaring “sea coal” fire, an
inlnbitabl * Htbana, “Cross Purposes” to read
and a sjinpatbe-.ic soul—to appreciate end ap
plaud tho author's cleverness as raconteur. Get
a copy and try it.
“Dorothy FoxJ’ is a genuine English story,
very well told, and showing much more than
average power in the tolling. It borrows more
of its attractions from bigamy, murder, or tho
violation of tho seventh commandment; and
yet is none tho less interesting. It is'pure in
conception, language, p.nd suggestion, and
ought to be popular with the better class of fic
tion readers.

Significant.—The result of the Selma, (Ala )
municipal election, reported yesterday by tele
graph, is very significant. At the State elect-
tion in November, that city gave 1500 Radical
majority. Now it goes Democratic by 200ma jori-
ty. Tho canse and meaning of this revolution
are both very easily explained. Power has de
parted from tho Radical sceptre, and the ne
groes, like a great many white folks, want to be
on the strong side. Democracy is the winning
card, now in Alabame, and the Radical negroes
are backing it. They will do it in-Gcorgia and
every other Southern State just so soon as the
Democrats show their power thoroughly estab
lished. When Georgia has a State Government
Democratic iu all its branches, there will not be
30,000 negro Radicals in the whole State.
Malicious.—The New York Herald of Inst
Monday comes ont with a thundering leader
. upon the Radical malcontents—Fenton, Gree
ley, * Motley, Sumner, Carl Schurz, Trumbull
and others, and exhorts Grant to play tho role
of Old Hickory aud bring down upon them at
ones all the power a id patronage of tho Gov
ernment and crn->h them ont. This is a piece
of treacherous counsel. What but a desire to kill
off Grant, induces the Herald to counsel anoth
er illustration of th9 old fable beginning, “ A
certain ass, with a view to terrify the other
beasts, did clothe himself in the skin of a lion,”
and so on ? Tuo Herald has taken stock in the
Ban Domingo job, and goe3 it heavy on enlarg
ing the area of freedom. But ha ought to know
that although Grant may carry it through in
spite of the opposition of Greeley, Samner,
Schurz, Trnmbutl & Co.—he can’t play Old
Hickory. Not he.
Mans Twain writes the following answer to a
correspondent: “ Young Author—Yes, Agassiz
does recommend authors to eat fisb, because
the phosphorus in it make brains. So far yon
are correct. But I cannot help yon to a decis
ion about the amount you need to eat—at least,
not with certainty. If tho specimen composi
tion you send is about your fair usual average,
1 should judge that perhaps a couple of whales
would bo all you would want for tho present.
Not the largest kind, but simply good middling
sized whales.”
The good peoplo who aro always establishing
daily newspapers have another lesson before
them. A few months ago some sanguine yonng
men started a newspaper in New York, called
the Free Press. It had a capital of $30,000, and
it was designed to npset the rock of ages, bet
ter known as Tammany. It started off with a
fanfaronade and lively step. Witness the result:
Last week it ceased to exist—exchequer collap
sed. Its expenses were $1,500 per week, and
its receipts $100. The greatest circulation that
it ever obtained was six thousand copies per
day.
Tns Tien-Tsin Massacre.—Onr telegrams
yesterday stated tfcat the Chinese authorities
had exeouted sixteen participants in the massa
cre of the French missionaries. This sustains
the declaration of the Amarioan minister, Low,
that tho disturbance at Tien-T6in, involving
tho massacre was local and unpremeditated, and
that the government at Pekin sincerely desired
to prevent a repetition, and to preserve the
peace.-
Oasus Belli.—Tho Canucks are openly lam
pooning and burlesquing Grant and Butler in
their theatres—as Captain Bobadil, Friar Tuck,
Don Furioso, Filibustero, FalstuJF, Ancient Pis
tol, and what not. If this is not a national af
front—a casus belli, whore the use of carrying
sneha corporation as Butler does ? Batler threat
ens to dig a canal around Niagara and then pilch
all the eanucks, head and ears, into it.
Comfobtino.—We feel easy under the assu
rance of some of the Washington papers that
the story of Fish’s flare-up with the negroes of
the Haytian legation was all a bam. The entente
cordial© subsisting between tho Haytian Empire
and the United States of America has not been
ruffled. Thd people may resume their com
posure.

A Disturbance at Hat-on;
It is very much to be regretted that the evil
teachings of certain disappointed and unscrupu
lous leaders of the Georgia Democracy should
result in bloodshed, but such is, nevertheless,
the ease. Tho election in MacoD, on Tuesday
last, was attended with disturbances of a seri
ous character. We do not know that any lives
were lost, but it is certain that several colored
voters were eeriously and perhaps fatally in
jured. It is to be hoped that we shall not be
again called upon to chronicle anything of the
kind during the present election.
The above atrocious slander was printed in
Bullock’s Atlanta organ—tho New Era—yester
day. It is so absolutely and meanly false, that
we almost wonder at its appearance even in that
sewer of lies. Hereafter we shall not be aston
ished at anything the venal, .malignant pen that
contributes to its columns shall write at the
bidding of i*s purchaser. The facts of the dis
turbance alluded to have already been given to
the public. We reiterate themes follows: A
negro who had voted the Democratic ticket was
assailed by the negro Radical mob as ho left the
polls with hoots, and yells, and threats of vio
leoce, and one black rascal, who was particularly
threatening in his demonstrations was arrested
by the police, who started with him to the
guardhouse. Instantly a mob of negroes, two
or three hundred in number, surrounded and
pressed upon tbo police with threats and dem
onstrations of rescue. The latter, reinforced
by a few citizens, kept tho mob at bay—acting
with great forbearance—Hntil they were assailed
by a shower of brick-bats and sticks, and the
mob pressing more closely, and being evidently
bent on bloodshed, one pistol shot was fired,
and one negro painfnlly, but not seriously,
wounded. The military then came up, and quiet
was restored.
These are the simple facts that Bollock’s per
sonal organ has so infamously distorted, and
which it charges are tho results of the “teach
ings of certain disappointed and unscrupulous
leaders of the Georgia Democracy.” We will
not ask the perpetrator of the libel to give his
readers the benefit of this antidote to bis poison,
for any man who would indite such a falsehood
would not hesitate to stand by it. But we do
ask the respectable press of Atlanta to publish
this statement in-the interests of truth and jus
tice, that the people among whom the slander
was ottered may see how entirely worthy cf
each other are master and man.

A writer in the Atlantic Monthly says: “There
oomes a time when normal eyes find their pow
ers grown limited, and require more light, or
assistance from glasses, when lpoking at small
near objects. When this period arrives it is an
error to persist in endeavors to do as formerly
with the eyes; but much use must be avoided
except in a clear light or with the required aux
iliaries. It is a mistake to suppose that glasses
should not be worn while it is possible to avoid
doing so.. On the contrary, they serve to pre
vent straining of the eyes, and preserve rather
than injure vision.”

A wing of the residence of Mr. Wallace How

A chap calling himself Captain Rockefellow,
who is one of the Radical leaders at Atlanta,
was arrested Wednesday for inciting negroes
to vote illegally.
A Dalton correspondent of the Atlanta Con
stitution writes under date of December 20th,
to that paper, that out 552 votes polled that day
four hundred were Democratic. One-half the
negro vote was Democratic.
The Constitution of yesterday tells how
shamelessly the Radicals of Atlanta used the
State road for importing negro voters. It says:
Many have been caught,and proven guilty after
voting. If mere bystanders catch them, why
cannot the managers do so? We are told that
the first day, out of fifteen hundred, composed
in great part of this imported material, not one
was reported by the managers.
We learn that a negro from Chattanooga, who
came down from there Tuesday night, and vo
ted the Radical ticket here yesterday, was ar
rested late in the afternoon, and confessed that
he was one of a party of twenty-five brought
down by a negro named Henry Cleveland. All
passed free over the State Road. They wero all
to return last night. This is but one case out of
many. A party of our vigilant police went to
the train, but arrived just as it was leaving, and
found, not twenty-five, but two passenger
coaches packed full—at leasts hundred—and
some thought one hundred and fifty in all!!
This on one train only.
A white man, who appeared tho ring leader,
was caught and is in custody, but the train
was moving and the negroes got off.
Our information is, that every train enter
ing and going out of the city has the same kind
of freight. The universal testimony of all hon
est men, who have been about the polls, is that
largo numbers of non-resident negroes go in
and vote.
Affairs Aroand Paris.
The Herald, of Monday, has this interesting
editorial note upon the situation:
Our Versailles correspondent states that tho
Germans havo evaded the truth in their reports
of tho battles with Ducrot’s anny; that not
only did tho French capture and hold the pen
insula, repulsing every attempt made to recover
it, but that they would have cut their way en
tirely throngh had not De Foladines been beat
en at Orleans. In addition, we learn that Paris
contains a four months’ supply of food, and
that such a thing as surrender is nnthought of.
Preparations were making for another great sor
tie, and the French were confident of success.
Their field works had been pushed forward with
such energy that their artillery and sharpshoot
ers now command roads which wore entirely
out of range at the beginning of the seige.
While this report from Pans is most favora
ble to the French, our correspondence* from
Versailles is somewhat nnh*" 1 *. 1 , ‘®*e Ger-.
mans. Ora— roars are expressed that the next
sortio will be successful. General Von Moltke
is apprehensive that new nrmies will be formed
in the south of Franco which will bo difficult to
;ot at; and he is unwilling to allow Prince
Frederick Charles to advance too far from Ver
sailles. Thera was a great demand among tho
Germans for tho bombardment of Paris, and
three councils of war had been held to consider
the question. Meanwhile Count Bismarck was
pressing energetically the political movement
for the destruction of the republic. He is said
to be anxious for peace and ready to form a
coalition with Napoleon or any other Power
willing and able to make terms.
Holden in a New Asmect.—The Baleighans
have had a great revival under the preaching of
Rev. Dr. Earle, Baptist. Five hundred persons

Db. Earle—Your visit to our city has been of
great and, I hope, of lasting benefit, and I know
has been intensely enjoyed. I am pleased with
this meeting to-night—am glad that it has been
held, and am glad to see so many happy faces.
Meetings of this character are calculated to do
immense good, and I thank yon for inaugurating
them. As for myself, I can assure yon that I
am very much benefitted. I feel so and hope
that the joyous effects of your services may be
lasting. I am particularly gratified at the man
ifestation of interest inmy behalf by very many
of my fellow citizens. I assure them that I ap

The Oa Crop-Its Importance to the
South.
Dr. Pendleton in a letter to the Rural Caro
linian says he is satisfied, by actual experiment,
that the oat crop next to cotton is the most val
uable product of the South, It not only re
quires lessiabor to cultivate than com, but is less
exhaustive to the laud; in fast is a great im
provment to it so far as that invaluable princi
ple, humns, is concerned; while corn, like cot
ton, is a humus destroying plant. [By humus
mean organic vegetable matter, as it is noth
ing but th it in n rotted or decomposed state.]
Cotton being tbo great staple of the South,
he is the best la-mer v bo makes the most with
the least expense. ..;.d at the same time im
proves his laud. All ihe corn, fodder, oats, peas
and meat that a cotton planter makes is only
to feed his mntes and his laborers to make cot
ton with. It becomes, then, a vital question,
how can be make the most horse food with the
least labor nnd the smallest draught upon tho
fertility of his land ? This is a very important
question, now that labor is so scaice and so
high in the cotton States.
During the last season I made enough oats to
last six mules four months, with an outlay of
about $26 for seed, ploughing in and cutting,
not to estimate Ihe cotton seed, which more
than paid for itself in the iocrensed vegetable
matter, and consequently enrichment of the
soil. The same amonnt of corn and fodder

Faber’s Lead Pencils.
In the year 1769, Kasper Faber settled in
S:ein, Germany, and commenced the manufac
ture of lead pencils. Daring his life the qnanti
ty made was not so great but the products of
tho week’s work conld bo taken on Saturday m
a basket to Nnrcmburg nnd Foirth for sale. His
son, Antonio Wilhelm, whose name the pencils
now bear, did not incresss the business, and
his grandson had little better success. On the
death of the latter, in 1839, his son, the present
proprietor, then twenty years of age, succeeded
to the business. This young man had been spend
ing three years in Paris,working at his trade,and
devoting himself to improving the method of
making pencils. Conceiving that he had made
an important discovery, he returned home, and,
with the greatest difficulty, by mortgaging all
tho estate that had fallen to him, sncceeded in
borrowing $S0, with Which to commence busr
ness. Ho expended tbis small sum in making
pencils according to his new method, which
consisted in part in giving them different de-
greesof hardness, a thing before unknown, which
be distinguished as at present, by numbers. He
took these to Munich and other cities where
they were tried by the best artists, who
were so much pleased that they all gave him
very flattering certificates; bnt, on returning
home, he found the proceeds of his $80 expend
ed, and he had no other resource than to try the
banker who had alreads befriended him. The
banker, on learning that he not brought the
money to pay his obligation, denounced him as
a swindler and sent him away. The young man,
however, afterwards succeeded, by means of
his certificates, in regaining his confidence, and
received from him another small sum.
From that time he continued to enlarge his
works and extend his business, until now over
five hundred persons are employed, not inolu
ding a large, amonnt of labor outside of the fac-
torv, making weekly 2: , 5.G‘>° r=-“Us. He has
tab— Lb tno mothers into the business, onoof
whom has the management of a bonse in New
York to which the leads, ready for setting, are
taken from hero. He is now considered a mil
lionaire, and has been made Baron by tho King
of Bavaria—Library of Wonders.
■What Becomes of the Cigar Stumps.—The
New York Commeroial Advertiser solves tho
mystery of what becomes of the cigar stumps
as follows:
Early promenaders in Broadway and. Fifth
Avenue, if they are at all observing, will, see an
old man in a blue blouse, and carrying a dirty
bag, engaged in picking np the . unsmoked up
ends of cigars, known among the boys as “old
sogers.” We had occasion to observe the in
dustrious old man picking up these inconsider
ate trifles the other morning, and to stop him
and interrogate him as to the uses to which ho
put the cigar tips. He related his story, and it
ran to this effect: After a morning’s work he
takes home what he has gathered up, -washes
the tip3 out in a large tab, and when cleansed
cuts them up and sells them to certain cigar
makers, who use them for “fillings” in the mak
ing of cigars. This old man can tell the genu
ine Havana tobaoco from the ordinary Ameri
can leaf; one is much more valuable than the
other. We have no doubt it often occurs that
smokers smoke the same cigar twice.

The crumbling skeletons of ten human oeingn
were recently discovered in a cave near Glas
gow, Kentucky..
But is not the o it crop very uncertain, par
ticularly as ro getting a stand ? Not by any
means upon onr plan. By applying a good coat
ing of cotton seed, as much a- you*have to spare,
from fifteen to fifty bushels to the acre, sowing
the seed with them, and turniog'all in together
with a turning shovel, yon may so v eny time
from October to February, and never fear about
a stand. The depth of the seed, together with
the warmth produced by the fermentation and
rotting of tho cotton seed, prevents the freezes
from killing them out whilo in the sproit; and
the vigor given to the roots and plants by the
manure prevents any freezing oat nft rward.
Upon this plan also tho whole of the nitrogen
and other volatile matters are saved in the soil;
whilo tho plan of hoating cotton seed, and ap
plying to the com in the spring, evolves a large
per cent, of these important gases.
The advantages of this plan to the land over
that of the cultivation of corn is immense. For
fifteen months the plough does not interfere
with tho soil. Each living plant is allowed to
grow, and mature and decay, except the oats,
which you cut nnd take from it, leaving all the
roots and stubble behind, whioh are luxuriant
from tho effects of the cotton seed, as are the
weeds and grass which come np in the spring.
The amount of hnmus actually created for the
m<xt cotton crop would quadruple that left after
corn. And when it is remembered that, as a
general rule, our worn-out soils require but
three great prinoiple3 to be restored to them,
viz: humus, nitrogen, and phosphorio acid, in
order to make them productive, and when tho
two latter are furnished in every good fertilizer,
while the former cannot be, the wisdom of a
plan which makes tho most humus to make cot
ton, and th? most horse food, with the least
labor, is apparent to every intellieent mind,
I throw ent thou congestions to the'planters
of tho South that they may net upon them if
they chonao, tor I um well convinced that it is
the only plan by which they can improve their
lands and gather repeated crops of ootton from
them. Tho rust, which of late years" is acting
so disastrously, ia owing, no doubt, greatly to
the lack of humus in tho soil. Wo must then
either rest our lands more or sow them in small
grains. Corn and cotton forms a bad rotation,
as both of them are humus-destroying plants.
1 have no donbt that, upon the plan above in
dicated, a planter may gradually improve his
land, and gather a remunerative crop every
year.
The effect of cotton seed upon oats is more
remarkable than even on com and wheat. By
sowing a 1 trge acreage of oats, less com would
be requisite, and any good ammoniated fortil-
izer will supply the ph-.eeof the cotton seed for
command in case of a drouth produce better re
sults. The oats is a healthier food for horses
and mules dnriDg the summer than corn, as I
havo woll assured myself, and will snstain them
about ns well. The black oat is the hardiest
and much the most productive.
