MACON, AUGUST 29 1871.
Mews Items.
Geaxt and Gbxeley.—Philosopher Greeley
starts out west on the 4th proximo, as the Sun
says,ostensibly to tell what he knows about farm
ing, but really to cover up Grant and Morton’s
tracks in the political field and lay open a far
row broad and deep for himself. The Sun in
terviewed the philosopher last Thursday, and
got this opinion from him:
“There is no doubt that there is a very wide
spread feeling of dissatisfaction with the admin
istration among Bepnblieans. My judgment is,
that Gen. Grant has made too many enemies to
run—that he is not the candidate that can be
elected. Therefore, it is necessary to have an
other candidate.”
“The fact is, there is a general feeling that
the Grant family is too large.” .
The Sun predicts that Greeley willbereceived
in the West with tremendous enthusiasm, and
his tour will be an ovation. Shonld’nt wonder.
There are millions of the Western farmers who
believe that Greeley is the wisest and purest
man of his time.
Saxe.—One night last week in Saratoga the
gas gave out and the clamor for-candles and
kerosene was ludicrous. The poet, Saxe, ac
cording to the correspondent of the Commer
cial Advertiser, borrowed a candle of a beauti
ful young lady. The next morning she found
under her door these beautiful lines t
“Ion gave me a candle; I give you my thanks*
And add as a compliment J nstly your due—
Xhero is not a girl in these feminine ranks
Who oould, if ehe would, hold a candle to you.”
Gen. Stoneman.—The order of the War De
partment, retiring Gen. Stoneman, has been re
voked by direction of the President.
Sens ron Damages.—The Staten Island Ferry
Company which ran the Westfield is a ruined
community. Three of the concern will proba
bly get a term in the penitentiary, and already
fifty actions for damages have been announced
by relatives of the killed and injured.
Beductkg Expenses.—The Murray Hill “high
flyers of faahioD,” are organizing a society
having for its object the redaction of extrava
gance in dress. Each member will agree to spend
so much, and no more on her toilette, and to
pay cash!
Now If “so much and no more” were a small
cum— fast enough to meet the requirements of
modesty and good taste, the society should not
confine itself to Murray Hill. It ought to be
co-extonsivo with the national boundaries.
Eably Fnosx.—There wa3 a heavy frost on
Mount Washington last Sunday morning, the
telegraph wires being covered to the size of a
man’s arm, and broken besides near the sum
mit.
Boutwell and Grant.— The World says
that Bontwell has been propitiated by the
slaughter of Pleasanton—has withdrawn his
claims for the Presidency, and now agrees that
the nomination of Grant is a political necessity.
The party of the other part also agrees that it
is a “national necessity” that Bontwell should be
Secretary of the Treasury for another term.
A New Floub Mux.—At the late Edinburg
meeting of the British Association of Science,
as we see from a report in the World, a paper
was read upon a now mill, now in operation at
Edinburg for grinding wheat. Says the report:
This mill reduces wheat by percussion, while
it is unsupported, and falling freely, or being
projected through the air. The wheat, in pass
ing through the machine, is struck by a ocriaa
of bars moving at immense speed in opposite
directions. It i3 so instantaneously reduced
into a slate ready for bolting that no injurious
heat is caused, and the flour produced is of a
much superior quality to that obtained by ordi
nary grinding, while the cost of its production
is considerably Ies3.
This mill works with much less power—rare
ly needs repairs—requires a much smaller num
ber of men, and is in much less danger of fire.
An Awkward Blunder.—The London Court
Circular tells of a certain noble Lord, who hav
ing just risen to speak in Parliament on the
army bill, received the following dispatch from
his wife: “I flea with Mr. to Dover
straight. Pray for me.” In great agitation,
he rushed from the House and made for home.
When he got thero he found the Countess, and
sternly handing her the dispatch demanded an
explanation. She read it and burst into a fit of
merriment, in which her husband joined, when
be found that his wife had sent the dispatch to
the office in this shape: “I tea with Mrs.
in Dover street. Stay for me.”
Poob Gaelotta.—The ex-Empress of Mexico,
Carlotta, it is positively stated, cannot live
through the coming autumn, as she now has
periods of perfect prostration lasting 4S hours,
and her death is expectedalmost any day. She
is only 31 years of age, having been married to
the unfortunate Archduke Maximilian when she
was but 17 years of age.
A. T. Stewabt-—The Commercial Advertiser
says of Mr. A. T. Stewart, who has just recov
ered from a dangerous illness, that he has been
ailing ever since the death of Mr. Eellnm, the
architect. He was his devoted friend, and his
sudden taking off was a terrible blow to Mr.
Stewart. He felt it as keenly as if death had
stalked into his own houaohola « n a carried off
one most dear to him. At the buna, -t
Eellnm, he wept like a mother at the grave of
her first born. Those who take Mr. Stewart for
a cold, heartless, unfeeling man, do not know
him.
The Thbee G’s.—Grant, Greeley and Groos-
bock, are the great talked-of for the Presidency.
William S. Groesbeck—a man of great wealth—
in the prime of life—of strong parts and un
spotted integrity is put forth by the Ohioans as
the coming man for the Presidency. They
say he is the man to cleanse the Augean stables
and break np all the rings of trading politi
cians.
Health op Savannah and Charleston.—Wo
are glad to see that the health reports for Savon
nah from 1st to 2lat August show five less deaths
than in 1870, and four less than in I860. The
city up to latest dates^was never more healthy.
The Charleston papers make no report of yellow
fever. Private letters to the 20tb, which would
in all probability have mentioned the fact had
yellow fever been there, make no allusion to
it We presnmp, if thero are any cases there,
they are merely sporodio.
Cotton Markets.—Cotton was buoyant yes
terday in Liverpool at an advance of an eighth.
Middling was quoted at 9|. Sales 25,000 bales.
In New Tork the market was strong at a simi
lar advance with light sales.
Pabis.—Paris reports still represent political
affairs in a very critical condition, and more
trouble imminent.
The astounding fact is stated semi-officially
that opium, prepared for smoking, was imported
into the United States, daring the last fiscal
year, to the value of $1,926,915. Daring the
same year intoxicating liquors were sold to the
value of §800,000,000.
Gen. Grant has been interviewed at Long
Branch. He says the New Tork Badicel quar
rel is a more tempest in a tea-pot, and the
Orange riota and Tammany frauds will carry the
State for him. He don’t understand the Now
Orleans muddle, and if the Coreans won’t treat
% they must bewhipped till they are ready to stand
sweetened drinks all round.
Eight hundred and eighty bales of South
American cotton were sold in New Tork last
Friday.
THE GEORGIA PRESS.
“Wiregras3” benzine and Darwin’s pets seem
to have “bluffed” that convivial luminary of
the law, Judge O’Neal, of the Allapapa Circuit
The Valdosta Times says “they say” down there
he has resigned that office, and will soon move
to Middle Geoargia.
The boll worm has made its appearance in
Thomas, Dougherty, Brooks and Decatur coun
ties.
The Valdosta Times tell3 this story:
It Is Baid of one of our Vaidostians that a
few days ago, while riding on the cars, the en
gine commenced an unearthly blowing; he,
thinking that something had “broke loose”
ahead, precipitately stuck his cranium through
glass and shutters, doing much damage not only
to the sash and shutters bnt to his forehead, to
the great amusement of other parties present.
O that aching head!
The Columbus Sun, of Wednesday, synopsizes
the situation over there as follows:
The Weather, Etc.—The city is very dusty.
Days very warm in sunshine, rather pleasant in
shady places. Nights tolerably cool, requiring
cover during the late hours. Health generally
good. Some cases of fever and congestive
chills. Little cotton coming in. Bain badly
wanted on crops. Trade inactive, except to
railroad contractors. Money difficult to get
Merchants laying in fall stocks. All who can
get away are at the watering plaoes.
We quote the following from the Enquirer of
same date:
Death op Mbs. 8. E. Wtt.ninb.—Our commu
nity was startled yesterday by the announce
ment of the death of Mrs. S. E. Wilkins, who
died at 2 o’clock Tuesday morning, after a very
few days, illness.
The daughter of Charles P. Gordon, a distin
guished lawyer of Eatonton, Ga.,where she was
bora April 15, 1829, she was married December
10, 1851, to Colonel J. C. Wilkins, a wealthy
planter and lawyer of Liberty county, who died
February 22, 1800. Since that time she has
lived in Columbus. During onr late war she
was active and untiring in her labors and devo
tion to our soldiers; and hundreds of them are
now living who bless her for words and acts of
kindness to them, when eick and wounded.
Beautiful, amiable and highly accomplished,
she was a favorite with all; and by her death,
soeiety loses one of its brightest ornaments,
and Columbns on9 of her best and noblest
women.
Her funeral took place yesterday afternoon
from the Presbyterian Church, from whence her
remains were followed to the grave by one of
the largest processions overseen in the city.
Columbus was on short rations of ice, Tues
day, on account of railroad derangements near
Savannah, cansed by the late storm.
Two boat loads of Sonth Carolina loilists of
the African persuasion crossed the river, Tues
day, in order to register for the Savannah mu
nicipal election, but some policemen caused
them to change their minds.
The storm, at Savannah, Tuesday, did little
or no damage in the city, bnt in the neighbor
hood was disastrous to rice and other crops.
The News, of Wednesday, ha3 the following ad
ditional details of damage from the Friday and
Saturday storms:
By the immense rise in the tide on Friday
night the water wa3 backed np on Dr. Lawton’s
dry culture land, causing a largo break in the
dam. The water from the land side was utterly
prevented from running ont. Considerable
damage was . done to the property. The tide
land owned by the Central Bailroad, on the
river above the mouth of the canal, and in the
vicinity of the water works, was overflowed by
the water on the high tide backing up. The
land was formerly owned by Messrs. Giles &
Bradley, and is now used by the Central Bail-
road to run their river extension over. There is
a trunk on the river bank which blew out from
tho immense pressure against it, thereby letting
in a large quantity of water, and causing a con
siderable break in tho river bank. Another
Another break
occurred in the bank of the adjoining place,
known as Skelton’s place, the water running all
over the land. In consequence of these breaks
the tide in the river, which rose to a great height
backed up the water on the lauds formerly
kept dry and entirely prevented tho out flow,
XATEB.
Since the foregoing was in type we have
received information that the Big Ogeechee
bridge was entirely overflowed, the water in
the river having risen to such a height as to
cover the bridge, so that it is impossible for
trains to pas3 over it. None will leave on the
Atlantic and Gnlf Boad until to-night. Large
quantities of rain fell last night after dark.
At eleven o’clock tho rain and wind had almost
entirely ceased.
The News says:
Steamers Put Back in the Storm.—The
steamships Catherine Whiting and Tonawanda,
bound to New Tork and Philadelphia, left this
port on Saturday last for their respective ports
of destination. On arriving at Tybee, both put
to sea, but finding tho weather exceedingly
stormy, they both returned on the same eve
ning. They both put to sea again that night.
The Catharine Whiting returned to Tybee Mon
day, where she was still lying at anchor yester
day. The Tonawanda did not return, but con
tinued on her voyage.
A married woman whose name is not given,
attempted to commit snicide in Savannah, last
Sunday, by-taking laudanum.
Mr. William Brad, in a fit of mental abstrac
tion, on last Saturday pnt §131 in greenbacks
belonging to Mr. H. P. Brewer, of Effingham
county, in his pocket, and rode off on Mr. B.’s
finest male. Mr. Brewer thinks a dose of donble-
barrel shot gun will cure such fits.
We clip tho following items from the At
lanta Sun, of yesterday:
Yestebday, Isaac P. Harris, Treasurer of the
State Boad nnder Foster Blodgett, and B. W.
Wrenn, tho General Passenger and Ticket
Agent under the same administration, and still
holding that position nnder Gov. Brown, were
arreoiCa — - - - — -
Law Card.—Wo invite attention to tho pro
fessional card of Charles N. West, Esq., of Sa
vannah. Mr. West is a young lawyer of great
promise and has already made his mark in the
courts. All business entrusted to him will re
ceive prompt and careful attention.
that Mr, Harris admits that he has money inina
hands belonging to the State, whiohhe is ready
to pay over to any one properly authorized to
receive it, and has been ready to do so ever
sinoe tho lease, whenever he can, by so doing,
have his bondsmen relieved. We are are also
informed that Mr. Wrenn makes the same or a
similar statement.
Sad Affliction.—Wo saw a telegraphic dis
patch yesterday from Col. Warren Aiken, of
Cartersville, to CoL Prather, of this oity, in
which he says that two of his children had died
that morning with something like diptheria,
and a third one was hopelessly ill.
Paid into the Tbeaeuby.—We Ieam that Mr.
O. P. McOalla, the General Book-keeper of tho
State Boad, has paid over to the State Treasu
rer several thousand dollars of restitution money
which has lately come into his hands.
Gov. Bullock.—Wo learn that he will return
to this city on the 1st of September. We are
glad of this. Ho is needed here now, and ought
to have been here for the past three months.
He could have been of great assistance to those
employed in working np cases of State Boad de
falcation.
Jos. Alexander, charged with murdering a
negro convict at Atlanta, last week, has been
been committed to jail to stand his trial at the
ECit terra of Fulton Superior Court.
The Constitution, of yesterday, says:'
Settled.—Jndge King, of the Georgia Bail-
road, and President Waffiey. of the Central
Kailroad, in connection with other railroad of
ficials, on Tuesday, we learn, finally settled all
the differences about the Union Passenger
Depot, and this building will now be put in a
comfortable condition. — *>
The Athens Watchman says the drought in
that section still continues. Crops and veget
ables of every description are burning np, and
poultry, butter and eggs getting scarce.
Gov. Bullock has ordered an election for Sen
ator on the 13th of September, in the district
composed of the counties of Dooly, Wilcox, Pu
laski and Dodge.
The Hawkinsville Dispatch of yesterday says:
The Mubdeb of Mb. Joiner, of Dooly—Some
New Facts.—From a very reliable source we
have obtained the following additional particu
lars of the recent tragedy in our neighboring
county of Dooly: It seems young Devereux was
quite a self-willed character, as well as a great
spendthrift, as is the case with too many of 1 our
young men who have been raised in opulence
and idleness. A short time ago he visited Ma-
cod, and to obtain funds to gratify his whims,
he forged a draft on his mother and step-father
for one thousand dollars, which ho obtained
frojn one of the city banks and squandered be- <
fore returning home. Scon after returning
home his parents received from the bankers in
formation of the transaction. His mother made
a hasty visit to Maoon, and had an interview
with the parties who furnished the money. She
promised to make good every dollar of the
amount as soon as crops were gathered. This
was satisfactory, andMrs. Joiner returned home
and informed her husband of what she had
promised. He replied that he would not pay
the amount, and that no part of the crop should
go toward the payment of the debt. Devereanx
then borrowed, or bought, a pistol and killed
Joiner as has been heretofore stated.
Fore!am Notes.
(prepared fob the telegraph and messenger)
The Journal des Debats, one of the best ed
ited Paris papers, gives the French the follow
ing sensible advice:
“The statesmen who governed hs one year
ago and went to war with a light heart, are not
alone to blame for pur misfortunes. To be sin
cere we must acknowledge that they were sup
ported by all classes of our population which,
like the ministers themselves, were deceived by
a blind confidence in our strength. We have
often been amused by those stories of staff offi
cers who were entrusted with missions on onr
frontier and in the Bhenish fortresses, and how
they first examined the different kinds of beer
and the far-famed Johann is berger; neither most
we forget how our traveling public will only
cross the bridge of Kehl to gamble and dance
in Baden. While legions of Germans traveling
through our country seek information and in
quire into our resources, a few French tourists
will, almost with regret, hurry through Germany
and abuse German hotels, beds and customs.
We must make up our mind now not to believe
that we are the first people in the world and have
nothing to learn from other nations. Though
onr vanity and self-love may be wounded, let us
make an effort to conquer our prejudices. This
is the most urgent reform our country needs,
and without it the best administrative reforms
and the most perfect educational laws will
achieve nothing.”
There are many petitions in favor of fr6e
popular instruction by laymen in circulation.
The Siecle publishes such a document from the
municipal council of Cambrai, which the paper
warmly recommends. The petition ascribing
the French defeats to the lamentable state of
popular education, the Siecle adds: “Our re
generation will date from the day when a great
agitation in favor of popular instruction will be
organized in all parts of France.”
The insurrection iu Algiers is still dragging
on. There are 80,000 French troops there now,
and the government contemplates increasing
the number to 100,000 men.
Most of the Paris churches which suffered
from the last siege have already been repaired.
The cemetery of the Fere la Chaise, where the
the damage is much smaller than was at first
anticipated, has almost assumed again its usual
physiognomy. Only seven monuments are
wholly destroyed, while tea others are slightly
injured. Those erected to the memory of Mo-
liere, Lafontaine, Scribe, Merrimee, Talley
rand, Berenger, Heloise and Abelard have re
mained intact.
M. Bevert’s motion for the prolongation of
Thiers’ powers will probably be passed by the
Assembly, though counter motions from Gam-
betta and the Duke do Broglie are anticipated.
The first, of course, represents Eepublican
principles, while the latter one is an Orleanist
The trials of the Communists continue. There
wa3 an effort mads to attribute all crimes nn
der the Commune to the foreigners who had
joined the Insurgents. This statement, how
ever, is not sustained by the evidence. Yet all
Polish refugees are held responsible for the
part a small number of their countrymen took
in the insurrection, and a resolution of the Ver
sailles Government expels the Poles from
French soiL The Polish Journal Czas, com
menting on this policy, says that between
France and Poland all bonds of fellowship are
henceforth broken. Thi3 declaration is a most
remarkable one, as the Foies have always looked
to France for restoring the ancient kingdom of
the Jagellones, and Napoleon tho First, who
had made pledges to that purpose, is said to
have considered their non-fnlfillment his great
est mistake. Whits Austria ctossshor territory
to Polish emigrants coming from Franco with
out a passport, these unfortunate exiles enter
the German Empire without being molested,
and many of them have fonnd a new home in
the Kingdoms of Prussia and Saxony. “It is a
whimsical disposition of destiny,” tho Posen
Gazette says, “that the Polish emigrants, who
are always ardently devoted to Franco and in
dulged in an intense hatred of Germany, should
now be compelled to seek an asvlnm on Ger
man territory from French persecution.
The German liberal papers continue discuss
ing Papal infallibility. The National Zeitung
says: “The first thing necessary is to free civil
life from the rule of the church, and the more
obstinately the chnrch abuses her power, the
farther the State will be obliged to go. The
measures which Austria adopted in May, 1668,
are well calculated to be imitated by Germany.
The introdnetion of civil marriage, the free use
of bnrial grounds, the liberation of the school
from clerical influence, and the grant of part of
the property owned by the church to such Cath
olics as have separated from tho Episcopate—
such are tho first steps which should be taken.”
“More than this,” continues the Cologne Ga
zette after citing the above, “it is not necessa
ry for the German Government to do. The
dangers involved in the dogma of Papal infalli
bility may be deduced from its principles with
unimpeachable logic, bnt the healthy sentiments
of German Catholics will, in real life, prove to
bo far stronger than the most forcible logic.
As long as the State will firmly defend the relig
ious liberty of tbe individual, there is no reason
to fear that th9 decision of the Ecumenical
Council will have any dangerous results in Ger
many. Nor is there at present any ground for
makine the matter an imperial question. The
whole affair will pass by much more sweetly
than the Jesuits desire.”*
Civil marriage and the other liberties the Na
tional Zeitnng advocates, are eDjoyed by Bhen
ish Prussia where, dating from the times of
Napoleon the First, French civil law is still in
force. Von Doellinger, the Head of the Anti-
Infallibilists, has been elected Sector of the Uni
versity in Munich. On this occasisn, ont of
seventy-eight professors entitled to a vote, six-
iy-threo were present. Professors Friedrich,

men having left work by this time. Eaen
them is reoeiving half a thaler, or about forty-
one cents a day, from the Laborers’ Committee.
In Moscow (Bus8ia,) conflagrations have lately
increased in an alarming manner, and large
stores, mannfactnring establishments, and
prominent business places are generally seleoted
by the incendiary. The government having ap
pointed a special commission for bringing the
criminals to justice, four boys from twelve to
fourteen years of age have been arrested, who,
either by witnesses or on their own confession,
stand convicted of arson. The four youthful
criminals, belonging to tho lowest class, state
unanimously that by the persuasions and little
presents of strangers they had been tempted to
the deed. A mechanic and a soldier havingbeen
pointed out by them, both were arrested. Pub
lic opinion attributes these crimes to the social
istic party which has numerous partisans in
Moscow.
Zorilla, tho new Spanish Premier, has intro
duced his ministry to the Cortes by the follow
ing programme : The Government pledges itself
to uphold the constitution, and promises to pro
pose soon a law for trial by jury. Public peace
shall be preserved at all hazards. The ministry
will endeavor to establish harmony between tho
Church and the State, without, however, resign-
ng the reforms passed by tho Cortes. A more
satisfactory budget i3 promised, and all efforts
will be made to livo on friendly terms with for
eign powers, especially with Portugal and the
republics of Spanish origin. The King’s Gov
ernment will watch over tho inviolability of
Spanish soil, and no sacrifice will bo too great
to pnt down tho insurrection in Cuba ; and,
finally, Zorilla pledges himself to suppress
bribory, idleness and incapacity amongthe Gov
ernment officials. The Minister President has
already reduced'lheir salarietf’twenty per cent.,
and renounced his own compensation of 12,000
durons, equivalent to about §13,000 currency.
Tho most prominent member of the Cabinet,
after Zorilla, is Gen. Cordova, Ministerof "War,
who bore anna against Napoleon the First. He
is now a man of abont eighty years, but’fnll of
energy and life.
_ The Cortes has honored the memory of Curios
Bubio, a distinguished journalist who recently
died to great poverty, by granting an annuity to
his widow. The Ultramontnnes, whose impla
cable foo he was, resent this proof of national
gratitude by bitter comments on tho dead. A
clerical says: “Carlos Bubio is dead. Did he
confess ? No. Then do not pray for him, for
all Liberals, from the highest to the lowest
without exception, will go to hell, if they did
not confess before.” Jabno.

Saratoga, August 24.—Amid almost breath-
less silence, only broken by some beltiDg man
proclaiming his readiness to lay §100 to §30 on
Longfellow, the flag felL. At the first attempt
to statt the horses, Helmbold took a lead of
three lengths, but on going around the upper
turn, Longfellow closed the gap, and before
reaching the quarter polo, had taken the lead
from Helmbold. He led a length along the
back-stretch, and, at the half mite pole, was a
length and a half ahead, which space he kept
open along the lower side to the home-stretch
turn. A burst of applause greeted him as he
went under the string on the first mile, a clear
length and a half ahead, in 1:55. Both horses
were on a strong pull at the turn. Helmbold
drew a little closer; and-fay at Longfellow's
quarters throughout the next quarter of a mile,
and as the half mile poio wa3 passed, he
reached his opponent’s saddle-girth.
u On the lower stretch, Longfellow again drew
slightly away, and as they went under the string
on the second mile, (run in 2:50,) he was exact
ly a length ahead. He retained this advantage
to the quarter, but at the half mile, Helmbold
was again at his saddle girth, hanging to him
like a shadow and would not bo shaken off.
The murmnrred applause of the vast assem
blage burst into a thunderous shout of irrepres
sible exultation, as Helmbold closed and col-
lard Longfellow in coming up the home-stretch,
passed him and went nnder the string on the
third mile a clear length ahead, in 5:15—tho
great Kentucky crack already begining to hoist
unmistakable signals of distress.
The backers of Helmbold became frantically
jubilant at this unexpected change in the aspect
of affairs, and peals of exultant applause rent
the air. At the upper turn Helmbold was two
lengths ahead, and ho increased to three lengths
at the quarter. Along tho back stretch ho stead
ily drew away from his already beaten oppo
nent, and the six lengths advantage he had at
the half mile, he made into a score. Along the

lower stretch the race was virtually over, for
Helmbold galloped up the home stretch and

The first mile was run in 1:55; the second
mile in 1:55 ; the third in 1:55; and the fourth

crop3 of Baker county are comparatively a fail
ure ; they will barely average five bushels to the
acre. One of onr largest planters and—,
bnt I forbear; another word, and I might sub
ject myself to the charge Sf being too personal—
has one field of 100 acres in com which will not
yield exceeding one hundred pecks. The land
is good, and of course not chargeable withsnch
results. 'What then? Adverse seasons partly,
bat chiefly the want of proper cultivation. In
some portions of onr county the “hue and cry’
against sweeps and the “Dickson system” if
loud and ominous. I heard two noteable plan
ters swear lately that they had enough of neote
ric theories and experiments in agriculture, pop
ularly called “Scientific,” and abandoning the
“new departure” in agriculture, wonld return
at once to the mode and manner of making corn
so successfully pursued by their fathers, and
heretofore by themselves; that formerly they
never failed to produce an abundance of sup
plies and to spare, but since the introduction
and general use of the “infernal sweep,” they
had been under a dead strain—some years had
to bny provisions. I am not prepared to say
that these allegations have no foundation in
trne science to rest upon. In 18671 used the
round and turn shovel each time and plowed
my corn; and although the weather was hot
and dry when I gave it the last plowing, and
the Sweepites prophesied the destruction of my
crop, I made that year over twenty bushels of
corn to the acre. A neighbor, and who used the
sweep each time he plowed his corn, barely
made ten bHshels to the acre. In this connec
tion I may add that, since 1867,1 have used the
sweep for the last plowing of my com, bnt re
sults have no year proved fully satisfactory—
ears smaller, grain fighter.
In an interview had recently with an expert
enced planter of Dougherty county, I was in-
formed that he had some of his beat land3 in
corn—there are no more produotive lands in
Southwestern Georgia; that he had propitious
seasons, etc.; still, he estimated the yield of
com not exceeding 12 or 15 bushels to the acre.
He used the sweeps altogetherincultivating his
com crop. It may be considered presumption
in me, but I will venture to say, that the land
in qnestion, with seasonable rains and cultiva
ted heroically, that is with round and turn
shovel, wonld have yielded 20 to 25 bushels per
acre.
As to onr cotton crops, they are generally
speaking far below tbe annual average. In some
localities—upon the stiff lands in Dougherty
county—there are a few fine crops of cotton; in
other localities in Dougherty, and generally in
Baker county, the cotton crop is poor. There
are some fields in cotton where it will lake—
well, I wouldn’t like to say how many acres, to
make a bale of 500 pounds. The seventeen days
of intensely hot and dry weather in July pro
duced serious results on all early and manured
cottons, causing the plant to fire and drop its
fruit at a fearful rate. Half grown bolls, burnt
np on the stalk, and such as escaped this fiery
ordeal are opening prematurely.
There is no necessity for an appeal to the old
Philosopher of the Tribune fora “ealoulatioD,”
based upon what he knows abont cotton cul
ture, as to losses to- the planter in this respect.
At this ‘‘stand-point,” could speculators make
their observations of present cotton prospects,
they would see little to encourage them in mak
ing contracts for future deliveries at low figures.
_ P.
From Houston County.
Neab Byron, Houston County, Ga.,)
August 23, 1871. j
Editors Telegraph and Messenger: Much
has been said and a great deal written about
the prospects of the growing cotton crop. It is
a matter of surprise to see and hear the stu-
pid ignorance manifested upon the snbjeot.
Any person that knows anything at all abont
the nature of the cotton plant, (if they have
paid any attention to the weather this season,)
knows well that it is impossible for any more
than half a crop to be made in this county.
In the months of May and June and part of
July deluges of rain, cloudy, cold weather in
the first part of the season, and now, for the
last ten days, a withering east wind, and the
plant, now at this time, literally parched with
drontb, cool nights, and all go to prove that
there cannot possibly be more than half a crop
of cotton made thi3 year.
It is disgusting to hear men talking about
cotton and about the weather being favorable,
when many of them could rot tell a patch of
okra from a patch of cotton. This class of men
do not know that cotton is a sun plant, and that
it was in the shade and drenched with rain dur
ing the months of May and June and a part of
July, and now, in many localities, the plant has
been parched with drouth for the last thirty
days. Again, this northeast wind now blowing,
and has been for the last the days, is poisonous
to vegetation, as all experienced planters will
testify.
There is not a negro in Houston county, en
gaged in the cultivation of cotton, that has
sense enough to count two, but what knows
more about the nature of the cotton plant than
the chief of the Agricultural Bureau at 'Wash
ington. His reporters scattered over the coun
try, nine of them ont of ten, would not know a
good crop from a poor one. And yet, notwith
standing their stupid ignoranoe, this loathsome
vermin that swarms over the country has much
to do in regulating the price of our great staple.
A planter from Brooks county, Georgia, was in
this neighborhood a few days ago, and savs he
saw on his way up thousands of acres that will
not make a tenth per acre. The last ten days
have settled the question in this section of the
country—there cannot possibly bo more than
half a crop nytde in Honston, Crawford and
Taylor. Lst every planter that can hold his
cotton hold on to R Indeed like grim death, and
when he has to sell, only sell enough to answer
his present wants, and keep the balance under a
shelter at home. It is time that all the planters
should pull together—that they should use all
the means they have at their command to pre
vent these soulless, heartless speculators from
controling tho price of onr cotton.

What tbe Result In Kentucky Means.
It has been given ont in some quarters in
Georgia that the triumph of the Democraoy in
this State at the late election meant a repudia
tion of the doctrines enunciated by the Demo
crats of the North with reference to what
commonly known as the new departure; and
inf erentially, that Kentucky would not fight nnder
the Democratic flag next year if it bore that de
vice. If there be any who have fonnd conso
lation in snch expectation, we beg to call their
attention to the following from the Louisville
Ledger, the organ of the “Bourbons” of that
State. Saystjje Ledger:
The word is sent abroad every day that the
“Bourbons” of Kentncky mean to split the next
National Convention if they cannot vote down
the new departure. There is not one word of
trnth in it. Every one of onr candidates and
speakers, while refusing to abandon the position
endorsed by the Democratic millions in 1863,
declared his intention to vote for tho nominees
of the National Convention, departure or no de
parture. That is the sentiment of Kentucky
that is the position endorsed by the unprece
dented vote of the August election.
Letter from Virginia.
Amherst Court-house, Va., August 21,1871.
Editors Telegraph and Messenger : I was re
freshed the other day at the reception of a copy
of the “Daily Telegraph,” and since that time
it has been coming regular to the great delight
of myself and family. From the wrapper I
judge it is sent by the Editors, and in return
(although it be but a poor return) I write a few
lines from this mountain region.
Amherst Court-house is a beautiful and pic
turesque little village situated on the Orange,
Alexandria and Manassas Bailroad, about twelve
miles from Lynchburg. It is nearly surrounded
by lofty mountains; on its western side by one
of the most beautiful sections of the Blue Bidge.
One of the mountains is called the “Amherst
giant” and it is an appropriate name. The
giant’s head (a little affair abont as big as Stone
Mountain) rests a3 if lying on a huge pillow, the
forehead, eyes, nose, mouth, and chin being
distinctly visible. Then comes the neck, shoul
ders, breast and body, in almost perfect condi
tion, while the legs bestride tho Bidge “liko a
colossus,” one of them dangling carelessly in the
direction of the fails of the St. James Biver, and
the other giving a contemptuous kick at Lynch
burg. This giant is worth seeing, and so are
the other mountains, “High Top,” “Mount
Pleasant,” “Tobacco Bow,” etc. Nearly all tho
springs in this section are crowded, particularly
Greenbrier, White, Bockbridge Alum, and Al
leghany. Some of the springs are closed this
season, among them Congress, one of the best
plaees for invalids in the State, and Bedford
Alumn, said by some physicians to be superior
to the Bockbridge Alum.
The crops in this State are looking better
than I have seen anywhere on my route. Tbe
com began to suffer, a few days ago for want
of rain, bnt a day of genial showers has placed
that beyond the contingency of failure; while
the tobacco is very promising! There are a
great many revivals of religion going on in this
section, now confined principally to the Meth
odists, while Baptist associations are being
everywhere held. Eev. Dr. Bosser, of the
Methodist Church, is now preaching here, and
is one of tho most distinguished ministers of
the Virginia Conference. He proposesmaking
a tour through the South soon, Macon being
one of hi3 objective points.

Bloody Bow Between Federal Soldiers and
Negroes.—From the Wilmington Journal, of
Wednesday, we clip the following:
We learn from passengers on the Wilming
ton, Columbia and Augusta Bailroad that a
bloody riot occurred at Marion, Sonth Carolina,
between the Federal soldiers and negroes on
Monday evening about eight o’olock. There
had. been for some time ill feeling between
the negroeB and the soldiers of the garrison,
which terminated Monday night in a regu
lar battle. Fire arms were used on both sides.
Six or seven negroes and one soldier were
wounded, some of the negroes very badly,
irobably fatally. The white citizens of Marion
ie!d aloof, and the riot wa3 confined entirely to
the soldiers and negroes.
The Sweep.—Oar correspondent “P.,” in
Baker, is down upon the. so-called “Dickson
sweep” and shallow culture. The sweep is no
“new departure,” as ho calls it, but a very old
plough indeed. Doubtless it has its uses. Where
land is very porous and level the sweep per
haps may be well used in laying by crops; but
upon soil of close texture which easily impacts
we doubt whether they are of any use. Upon
hill sides and rolling lands cultivation with the
sweep exposes the lands to washing, and in this
particular, we doubt not, has-been exceedingly
injurious to lands in Georgia. We can’t con
ceive of a proper cultivation of any crop which
does not maintain the soil in a light and friable
oondition, at least up to the point of fruitage.

Changes of Food in the Stomach.—When ti-
food has been masticated and converted into
semi-liquid paste, it is passed into the stem:
which is simply an enlargement, midway, ot 2
alimentary canal. It is the theatre of the eece
and most important stage of the digestive procs !
The food is here exposed to the action of the gt 5
trie jnice. This is secreted by tbe mucous M >
brane or internal lining of the stomach, wind -
fall of minute pores communicating with mi: 1
scopic tubes of bags closely reticulated with nert ;
and capillary blood-vessels. The function of tt I
apparatus is tho production of cells, which are £
charged in innumerable myriads into the catftr:
the stomach. Arrived here they buret and pe
forth their liquid burden. This is the gastric je:
