MACON, JULY 4, ISU
The
Alumni of u»e University of
Georgia*
We published a few days ago, an article from
the Philadelphia Press showing that in Yale Col
lege a portion of the trustees were in future to be
elected by the Alumni. This subject has again
recurred to our thoughts In connection with our
own University, and wo present our conclusions
in the following propositions:
1. The present and future of tho University
depends on the Alnmni. ,
2, To exert proper influence, they must be
thoroughly organized.
8. To maintain the organization they must
have potter, that is, they must bo able, in some
measure, to shapo and oontrol the University,
by directrepresentationintheBoaidof Trustees.
But it may be answered, that the trustees
now generally elect Alumni, and in this way the
Society is always represented. While this may
' bo true, still this concession to the Alumni
would bo of advantage in giving to the Society
business to perform, and thus adding greatly to
the interest of the meetings, and in causing
each Alumnus to feel a constant intersst in his
Alma Mater, arising from the responsibility of
U" y» »»««■» Tt tin charter of the University
were so amended, if neea be, as to give w uA
Society of Alnmni the power of electing one-
third, or one-half of the vacancies in the Board
-of Trustees, and these elections were not made
for life, but for a term of years, wo npprehend
that increased energy and vitality would bo
manifested in every department of the Univer
sity.
Tho principle of the Alumni constituting an
element in the controlling power, is not new,
nor wholly untried. It is now, we are informed,
adopted by tho four leading universities of the
United Stales, viz: Michigan University, Tale
College, (as wo have beforo referred to), Har
vard College, and Cornell University. In Cor
nell University, N. Y., besides the State officers,
who aro Trustees, fifteen Trustees are elected
for a term of five years. The Register of Cor
nell, now before us, states: “By a special clause
in the act of organization, the graduates of the
University, whenever they shall number one
hundred, shall be entitled to fill the place each
year, onoof the retiring members.” It further
adds, “It is hoped that this feature will do much
to onsuro constant vigor in the administration
of tho institution's officers.”
In our opinion, good and .not evil would re
suit from this suggested change in the organi
zation of the University. It is worth thinking
of, and we hope it will be brought before the
society at itn next meeting, in some practical
form. It will, at least, afford subject matter
for an interesting discussion.
Will any one tell us of whnt advantage it is to
the University to have a long list of tho most
esteemed and honorable gentlemen of the State
on the roll of its trustees, if they even do not
manifest interest sufficient in the cause of edu
cation to attend the annual meetings of the
Boards. This is notoriously true in many in
stances. Such influence, we maintain, is de
pressing, not inspiring. We want now in ev
ery department of tho University active, work-
- ing men, who are able to think and willing to
work. This is an active, earnest, working age
wa live in. Wonderful activity pervades all de
partments of life, but none moro than the great
department of education. All the States are
working vigorously. Our neighbor, Alabama,
.has just invited th9 distinguished Maury to
ttake charge of her University. The time has
come for the Alumni of the University of Geor
gia to gather around their Alma Mater—to let
their voices be heard in the legislative halls,and
their Jnfluenoo be felt throughout the State, un
til the University is so liberally endowed that it
-may expand to its fall measure of usefulness,
Btld be Surpassed in its oppoinfraonfft by nnnn
ip this broad land.
Geneual Shehman’s Exfebxencz in the
South.—General Sherman mentions in conver
sation .with friends that everywhere he went on
h?a recent tour of inspection he met with warm
receptions from the people, especially in Lou
isiana and Texas. The Governors of those
States informed him that the peace and order
therein would favorably contrast with any period
previous to too late war. He found the army in
good condition, and speaks in praise of the offi
cers. So says the Herald.
The Shoe Mahuvactceehs’ Peotest.—Tho
New England shoe manufacturers have issued
n protect against the internal revenue (ax on
boots and shoes. They claim that the tax has
rendered them unable to competo with Canadian
manufacturers in tho markets of Mexico, the
West Indies end South America, and that the
Government draws $18,000,000 from the people
of this country J»y this unjast levy. The argu
ment of tho protest also leans strongly towards
free trade in leather.
Bate of Decbease in the Visible Cotton
Softly.—Watts & Co.’s Liverpool Cotton Cir
cular, of the 9th instant, says the excess in the
, visible supply over that of last year was on that
date 851,289 bales. The week previous it was
•400,080, and the week before that 449,780.
Eight .weeks ago it was 075,000 bales. This
shows, a gain in consumption equal to over forty
.thousand."bales a week, or at the rate of more
ihan two.million bales a year.
iQirer. Justice Chase.—A Herald interviewer
states that ho pumped the Chief Justice in Cim-
cimytti last week. The Jndge said the country
was dissatisfied with the Eepublioan party. The
people want peace, bat some of its leaders seem
bent on perpetuating tho memories of the war.
The Judge did not remember any political
movement that has made so deep an impres
sion on parties and on the country as the “new
departure,” so-called, of Mr. Vallandigham.
“Taylob.”—Your -communication has been
received, bat wa find nothing in it of sufficient
general interest to demand its publication. The
gentleman yon refer was a “Johnny Beb,” how
ever, though we do not see what that has to do
with the matter in hand. The item from the
newspaper you name was at first credited by
many others besides the agent, and created
.painful apprehensions, for a time.
/‘What are you disturbing the whole house

4ions for the Presidency, for which the Chicago

that it is light to tax one man for the benefit of

The Rural Carolinian for July is at hood.
On the first page Dri'Parker, of Columbia, tells
how he made, his Pbesoum Cobh. Cbop, which
was 147 bushels per aore on two acres—one
year; and 200 bushels and 12 quails on a single
ono of these acres the next. The Doctor made
his rows on this last acre thirty inches apart,
and the com was dropped ten inches apart in.
the row. The land was measured by the City
Surveyor of Columbia, and the crop by a com
mittee appointed for that purpose. Deep break
ing up—underdrainage on moist land—judi
cious manuring—first working deep and subse
quent shallow—were the conditions. The Doa-
tor says the roots of oom should not be disturb

Under the head of a Cauouhian’s Expebience
in Flobtda, Mr. James Johnson writes an in
teresting tale from Mullet Creek, somewhere
on the Gulf coast in West Florida. He settled
on light poor sandy soil within sight of the
Golf, attracted by about seven acres .of prairie
covered with a dense growth of saw grass. This
he ditched and drained and manured from a
neighboring Indian Mound compo3sd princi
pally of decomposed soa-shells, fish-bones, etc.
These he applied generously to his sandy hold
ing, and finds himself thriving with plenty of
vegetables, abandonee of corn, six handred
orange trees, lots of figs, a field of fine Sea Xs-
fiTh, of^e & e e n Ma a o^sfe^
crabs and clams for the gathering. But he
wants neighbors.
CoL Aiken quotes a Jetter from the South
west, on the banks of the Mississippi, which
says clover is the most profitable crop that can
be grown there, and will produce two tons to
the acre. The writer says its introduction is
producing a revolution in that part of the moral
vineyard.
Gypsum, or Land Plaster, is stated to-be
specific against the ravages of the the cabbage
lice.
An editorial speaks of tho importanoe of
shading soil, and commends the culture of oow
peasbetweentherowsof hoed crops as an ex
cellent practice, especially if they.be turned nn<-
der as green manure.
Here is a western trick with stumps. In
the fall they boro an inch or an inch and
quarter hole, according to its sice, vertically
into the middle of the stump, eighteen inches
deep, and put into it from an ounce to an ounce
and a half of saltpetre; fill the hole with water
and plug it up. In the sprmg they take out the
plug, and put into the hole from half a gill to a
gill of kerosene, and ignite it. It will go on
burning without any blaze until the whole
stump to the extremityof the roots is consumed,
leaving nothing bnt ashes. The stamp must
bo moist: an old dry stump will not be pene
trated by the saltpetre. We have no great
faith in this process, especially for our pine
stumps, which, we fear, the nitre would not
penetrate, bnt wish somo ono would try it and
report results.
And speaking of stump-extractors—here
ono which was used by former generations, and
which we believe beats all the compound screws
and levers of thi3 day which seduce farmers
into paying two or three hundred dollars.
Take a thirty or forty foot lever—the longer,
Iighterand stronger the better—fasten thelarger
end of it to a stump with heavy chains—hitch
strong team of oxen to the other end, and let
them travel as your mules do in drivings cotton
gin. Something gives way very suddenly under
that operation.
English and Ameeican Climates.—The Caro
linian quotes, W. Robson, of London, asso
ciate editor of the Field, who lately visited
the United States, upon the American climate
Ums: -
“O, Americans, never blame the climate, for
it Is an admirable one. The succulent vegeta
bles of the old country grow here, with very
few exceptions, and by their sides you gather
the ears of tho stately and graceful maize—
most useful of its wonderfully useful family.

me who had often grown the frnit to the size of
turkey eggs in hot-houses in England. Rosy-
checked English apples are seen above the
quaint, large flower of the okra, which to ns is
an impossible exotic. Blessed by every variety
of cjimate, and with its peoples not hedged out
from each other’s improvements by strange
tongues, I look forward to the time when this
vast country shall be more famons for rural
beauty than for the weal of her many cities.
Southebn Laboh.—An occasional contributor
maintains that the negroes are as good laborers
as the world can produce, only they have been
temporarily demoralized by the sudden change
in their condition, and be-devilled by the poll
ticlans. What is wanted is time, system, and
organization among planters.
On the Possible Pboductof Coen.—The ed
itors meet the incredulity of the New York

ingeven one hundred bushels of shelled com to

ments: - .. : c
S. W. Bloodworth, of Griffin, Ga., an account
of whose premium acre may be found in the
Report of the Department of Agriculture, 18G9,
page 271. obtained ffom a square 210 feet each
way, 137$ bushels of shelled com, or 2354 bush
els to the acre. The -cost of production was
$120, and the total produce from toe aore was
valued at $257 71, showing a net profit of
$188 71. ,

. From an account as accurately taken as pos
sible, it is estimated that tho stock of rice, last
year’s crop, now on hand, amounts to about
forty-five thousand bushels of rough and about
five hundred casks of clean. From accounts in
reference to the present crop, everything thus
far seems favorable, with fully as much acreage
planted as last season; but it is useless to cal
culate on the growing crop, as old and expe

until after the plant blossoms and toe seed be
