peaohing him, and the stigma affixed to his ad*
ministration by Judge Barnard, foreshad
ows the sentence that wotfd inevitably
be passed on him by the Court of Com
mon Fleas. If he is foolhardy enough
to brave trial, he has no reason to expect the

confident he will not brave such a trial, and we
hope to hear of his resignation in course of the

Nothing peculiar was noticed in his manner.
About an hour after going on board he jumped

the river. He was, undoubtedly, struck by the
wheel, as his body did not come to the surface.
Boats were lowered and every effort made to
save him, but without success. His act was
undoubtedly deliberate, as his coat and over
shoes were found in the vicinity where he made
tho fatal jump. Ho went on board tho steamer
with his house-keeper, who seemed to have sus
picions that the old gentleman was in trouble.
He said to her, “Don’t follow mo about” Ho
succeeded in getting away from her and disap

Letters to Soutli Georgia Farmers*
No. 5.
BY KEBEEET FIELDEB.
One of the formidable difficulties in the way
of South Georgia planting, is in growing wheat,
as your experience has long since demonstrated.
It arises out of the soil, the climate, and from
insects superinducing disaster. But ia my
judgment, it may, in part, be overcome upon a
plan which I should be glad to see submitted to
a fair trial.
All the wheat crops I have seen here stand too
thin upon the land. It is true of this crop that
it requires a strong soil, and ono that will hug
tho roots closely, and it must occupy the land
entirely. For when the stocks stand thin and
far apart, it will not propagate well, and the
grains wifi be found correspondingly thin and
far apart upon the head. How to remedy this
difficulty is a question—if you oan find a tract
of close red land, if not rich enough by na
ture, make it so. In the up-country they sow
not more than a bushel to the acre, and often
less. Their close soilholds the small roots, and
and it doe3 not die out in winter. Owing to
their continuous cold it does not run np, but
continues to spread and multiply sprouts at the
root In the spring when it starts np it envel
ops the ground completely; keeps it moist and
prevents it from heating beneath. The heads,
when they come out, stand close together and
propagate well, and hence the grains are thick
on the head.
Here, your wheat spreads but little; but re
ceiving warm spells begins to ran up prema
turely, the stalk3 stand far apart, the sun shines
through and heats the ground below, the radia
tion of heat dwarfs the stalks and beads. There
are not enough of them, and they are too small
and the grains too,- thin npon them for a full
crop, even if it escapes other disasters. The
plan I suggest, is to plant late to avoid the fly,
and prevent its running np too soon—on close
soil that will hold the roots, on rich land that
will mature the crop; and so increase the
quantity of seed as to secure a good stand on
the ground. It is worth the experiment, espe
cially when you estimate the grazing that fol*
lows’this crop and the value of the straw.
You have other small grain crops, not subject
to the disasters that often befall wheat, and to
the growth of which there is no objection in
soil or climate, and for the general neglect of
which no sufficient excuse can be found.
But your leading and most necessary cereal
is corn, and while in the main it does not flour
ish so well a3 in higher latitudes, its general
production cannot be dispensed with, unless at
a great detriment We have suffered in high
prices, and transportation by teams when they
were needed for the plow, and by damaged corn
shipped from the West, until no farmer ought
to hesitate for a moment on this’question, even
though he might be able to buy as cheap as he can
make it In the growth of corn in this section,
there are two great advantages to be derived
from early planting and rapid culture. One is,
the crop is disposed of in time to employ all the
force npon the leading market crops. The
other and most important is to mature it by the
early rains and before it is subjected to the
usual midsummer’s drouths. And in view of
this chief difficulty, the importance of deep
preparation and deep planting by which a pro
tection is famished against the sun’s heat and
moisture retained, cannot be too strongly urged.
And as it is my object to exoite reflection and
stimulate to experiments, I have this comment
to make npon the at least doubtful practice of
pulling off the fodder. Your success in this
crop does not depend upon the size of the stalk,
but upon the maturing of a full ear of com, and
saving all its substance; and you need all the
vitality of the stalk for this purpose. If the
blades are taken off after the grain hardens so
as to retain all it has, it seems there could no
injury result from it. But by that time they
themselves are far spent and not worth much.
They are like the lungs of the animal economy,
and tearing them off destroys vegetable life in
the Bt&lk when it is most needed to mature its
fruit. Especially will this prove true of all re
planted and late stalks of the crop. I doubt not
that a fair experiment will demonstrate, that by
letting the blades dry on the stalk, the grain
will be of more value than both where they are
pulled off. Further, I doubt not, it would be
better for the ear to cut the stalk down than
let it stand and return a part of the vitality of
ear to the earth when suddenly killed by pulling
off the blades.
By planting especially for fodder and catting
at the proper stage, you have a good substitute,
and if that will not do, you have it In your
abundant spontaneous grasses, whioh are in _a
proper state for mowing at a time when there is
but little farm work on hand.
The eity of Charlestown proposes to increase
the area of its tezritorial limits about 150 acres
by reducing Banker Hill and filling in certain
pond and river fiats. The total cost of the un
dertaking is estimated at $3,271,771; bnt de
ducting the value of the mill pond lands and
Mystic river flats, whioh are to be filled in, the
net cost is set at $1,545,644. To carry out
these plans a Catholic ohuroh must be lowered
forty-six feet, and a cemetery adjoining it,
which contains nearly 8,000 oorpses, removed.
The district proposed to be reduced contains
about forty-five acres, and 479 buildings stand
ing on it will hav^to be lowered. Banker Hill
already been lowered fourteen feet, and
should this scheme be consummated it wiH
have been lowered sixty feet from its original
height at the summit
Deep Cnltnre vs. Shallow Culture. tetters to South Georgia Farmers-*
Editors Telegraph and Messenger: I have “ “
read and carefully considered the ar tide of your
correspondent J. P. S., in your send-weekly
issue, 6th inst., and whilst conceding to him
natural abilities and scholarly attainments am-
plissimus altistimvsqve gradus, I am still of the
opinion—if it were not his purpose to do so—
that he failed, in his theorizing to undermine
facts established by an experiment fairly made,
in the cultivation of my com crop of 1867.
Experience may not be the best teacher; but
certainly lessons learned in this school possess
a signifioancy and a degree of reliability whioh
entitle them to precedence over mere specula
tions, however beautifully and artistically con
structed.
The caso is, “Deep Culture vs. Surface Cul
ture,” and our friend, not satisfied with the de
cision of the Court of Experience, appeals, and
by writ of certiorari carries the case to the
higher(?) Court of Theory. I waive the plea,
as to jurisdiction.
The facts, as they appear upon record in the
court below (?): The land for com was thor
oughly prepared by dose, deep plowing. The
field of 100 acres included the usual variety of
soil found in this section. From the 20th of
February to the 1st of March—seeded. Dis
tance 5 x 4£ feet. The com received three
workings. Plows used, scooter, turn and round
shovel, and each time the com was worked
the plotting was reversed. Yield over 20 bushels
per acre.
This brief report is eminently calculated, I
know, to shock the nervous system of our friend
“J. P. S.;” indeed. Sympathizing with the
plant, in the loss of its dear little rootlets, I
can, infancy, almost hear him exclaim, “what
vandalism.”
My neighbor, to whom allusion was made,
and who represented the “Defendant,” planted
his com in the drill 6x3. in the cultivation
of his crop, used only the sweep—gave his com
three “sweepings.” Results, as heretofore
stated—barely 10 bushels to the acre. •
As an additional fact of weight, and to be
considered in this connection, my neighbor’s
land—only a fence Intervening—had the advan
tage in age, being several years the junior.
I cannot reason myself to the conclusion that
my lands possess properties and characteristics
materially unlike those of other lands in this
locality. "Why, then, these differences ia re
sults ? Are they not attributable to “difference
in cultivation,” and not, as our friend J. P. B.
suggests, to “want of a clear understanding and
proper appreciation of the principles which are
unfolded by the light science has shed upon the
subject—especially within the last thirty years?”
Science, I admit, Is a luminous body in our
agricultural firmament, and shines with increas
ing effulgenoy. Bat does experience shed no
light upon this subject; and does it follow, now
that we have the light of science—a new light—
that of experience must be rejected ?
Strange reasoning this, in sustaining a policy
which, by one and the same process, kills to
vitalize—cuts away the roots in order that the
roots may have a way.
There is doubtless some impairing of roots
by deep culture ; and the same may be said of
light culture. Bnt experience and observation
teach me that between impairing some roots,
and leaving all to be throttled and paralyzed in
an indurate soil, to avoid the latter alternative—
ever. Would our friend, “J. P. S.,”in the
case supposed—land stiffened and hardened by
rain, and become a3 though the plowshare had
never been driven through it, in his admiration
of the swap, still cry, “Plowman spare those
rootlets?”
Deep culture ia of advantage to the land,
preparing it for the banefits of succeeding
rains, when they como in “gentle shower3,”
and in protecting it, when they come as “a
very opening of the windows of heavens.”
The statement of this case is strongly made,
and has, I admit, the semblance of unfairness;
yet how many are there to-day without any
experience—any practical knowledge in the use
of the hoe and plow—their opinions, mere spec
ulations, or the reflex of scientific works, re
specting principles a3 yet unapplied, who teach
this heterodoxy. Of course these remarks do
not apply, nor are fluy intended to apply to oar
friend “J. P. S.” I hold in too high estimation
his sound and practical mind, to hint even at so
much injustice to him. My notion, for I will
not so far dignify it by calling it a theory, is,
that after each heavy rain, especially where the
land is inclined to become impacted, or in
homely phrase, to “run together,” deep culture
is necessary for unlocking to the plant the ali
mentary properties of the soil—to give it air
and moisture—and to render facile the move
ments of those dear little rootlets in quest of
food ad libitum. For of what practical benefit
to the plant would the alkalies et cetera in the
soil be if the surrounding earth, stiffened and
hardened by rain, were impervious to its roots ?
If the land has received only a surface dres
sing, a light shower would prove of little benefit,
as the blessing intended would be lost by evapo
ration, whilst a heavy fall of rain with no pro
vision made for its stay, would hurry impetu
ously along, bearing with it not only the
slightly stirred surface soil, but inflicting deep
ghostly wounds irremediable by any treatment
ever known in agricultural pharmacopoeia.
It is no purpose of mine, Messrs. Editors, to
invent new theories. I am content to adopt and
practice such, as by experience year after year,
work out the most satisfactory results. This
may not be science, but it is common sense.
And now, whether deep culture or surface
culture, be the better system, is a question
which to some extent, depends upon circum
stances, and each one interested is at liberty, so
far as I am concerned, to consider and deter
mine for himself.
But of this fact, I am fully convinced—that
it will not do to “go it blind,” in the use of the
sweep- upon the preconceived idea it is the plow
adapted alike to the cultivation of every char
acter and condition of land; and that to act
upon this theory would be but to expectin agri
culture the fatal mistake made by Dootor San-
grado in physic.
To our friend “J. P. S.” in conclusion, per
mit me to say—I hope I do not belong to that
classification known as “old Fogies”—certainly
I do not countenance the ignoramus who dis
cards altogether “Book Fanning,” and casts
ridicule upon efforts of erudite men in their no
ble work, of developing the art, and in illustra
ting the principles, of agricultural science. One
word as to the New Departure. The position
assumed by some, that the sweep is the proper
and only plow to be used in cultivating com is
the “New Departure” in agriculture alluded to
in my communication of the 22d nit. P.

passed the following additional seotion to the
constitution, by a vote of forty-six to four
teen:
‘No clergyman shall resort to a civil court or
tribunal for the purpose of arresting or avoid
ing any ecolesiastioal proceedings against him.
The penalty for any violation of this article shall
be suspension, ipso facto, from the fnnotions of
the ministry.” It was contended by a number
of clergymen that the article was special legis
lation, that it was introduced when the conven
tion was very hostile to a certain person, that
it looked like the dogmas of the Roman Church,
and that it was cruel, unchristian and unbrotherly
Bishop 'Whitehouse defended the article at con
siderable length. He said there was a struggle
coming between the State and personal religion
much more severe than had yet been witnessed
in the church. There were offenses which re
quired immediate aotion; a trial took many
months; a glergyman might be presented for
the same flagrant immorality, and appeal to the
civil courts, during the pendency of which pro
ceeding the church would be powerleBs to ar
rest any further flagrant degradation of the
ohuroh iu the person of the offending minister.
The appeal to the civil oourt was an offense;
the civil law had deoided it an offense.
The attacks on the Amerioan barks Harvest
Home and Brothers at Minatitlan appear not to
have been made by the Mexican authorities, but
by volunteer gangs. There was a sanguinary
struggle on the Brothers, and, though the as
sailants were killed or driven off, the crew
abandoned the vessel in anticipation of another
attack. Our State Department is awaiting fur
ther facts.
A Pabis paper says that a rich American has
offerd to rebuild the Toileries solely at his own
expense, on condition that one of the wings of
the new building shall reoeive his name, and
that as long as he lives he shall be allowed an
apartment in it looking out on the gardens, and
an invitation to all the oeremonies which shall
ever be given in the palaoe by any government
which may be In power there.

No. 5.
BY HEBBEBE FIELDER.
But your great leading crop—your talismanic
staple—the one which, when you assume con
trol of it, will give you a voice in, and control
over the affairs of mankind, not in the power of
any other community—is cotton. And however
you may treat my efforts to interest yon npon
other topics, I hope for respectful consideration
in any reasonable suggestions which relate to
this.
Tins was once a country of political freedom—
I hope it may be again. It la still a country for
free thought in all that relates to material inter
est. I have never felt bound by the opinions of
other men, unless they were sustained by faot
and reason. It ia my right to differ, though it
may seem presumptuous from the leading
minds of the age, upon this as any other sub
ject of interest to our people. ' That prices in
commodities are ordinarily affected by the ratio
between supply and demand, is a received axi
om in political economy. That it Is true in
fact as to cotton temporarily, and mainly,
through the machinations of dealers who control
it, instead of those who make it, I do not deny.
Bnt that the prioe and market value of cotton is
lowered by the inorease of its production is not
true in fact; and this staple, by reason of its
vast—I may say sovereign—power over the
commercial world, furnishes an exception to the
general rule. There is a creative power in it
that controls men; and the true misfortune of
the case is, that the potent agency is wielded by
speculators, and not by the producers of this
staple. They have transferred the sceptre
from the bands of the million to the few who
control the purse-strings.
My arguments do not contemplate the ulti
mate reduction of quantity, but only to restore
the possession of the crop to the men who make
it and are entitled to its benefits. Cotton builds
ships upon the oee’an, moves spindles and
looms in New and old England, Franoe, and all
over Europe—trains and feeds operatives, in
vites the investment of capital in its manufac
ture and transportation. Like the great Mis
sissippi that overflows banks and cuts new
channels and defies all control, this staple is
aggressive and defies all rules of politioal econ
omy. It spreads into new countries and seeks
new fields in which to expend its fabrics. It is
constantly bringing its benefits in larger mea
sures to those it has heretofore clad, and reach
ing out its arms over new throngs of busy peo
ple elsewhere. The integrity and stability of
its growth, is the assurance to Investment and
enterprise, and the cornerstone of commercial
confidence and credit. And aside from the
convulsions of war, and the temporary fluctua
tions whioh commercial rings may produce, it is
bound to adjust itself upon fair value and
maintain it. And ultimately we should have
more to fear in decline of prioes, from a gene
ral decline in production, and which wonld
destroy confidence and divert capital, than we
shall in the increase of the quantity. Our real
and ultimate interest is in maintaining manu
facturing confidence in an abundant supply of
the grades we produce, and which can be grown
nowhere else.
In 18421 plowed to make cotton which was
sold at 4J cents. From that time there was a
steady increase in the quantity of cotton nntil
the commencement of the war, when it had
nearly doubled; there -was a steady and larger
increase in the price, for it had nearly trebled.
Tho supply increased, and the prioe inoreased
with it, and for the reason I Lave stated: It
invited money to be invested in its manufacture
and transportation, and sought new fields of ex
penditure all over the world.
Your real source of dread is not the increase
of production. It is in making it on a credit and
putting it under the control of capitalists, and
in neglecting all its supports in other crops, and
taring it for every necessary and luxury of life.
In this way you give the main profits of what
ought to be the most lucrative business in the
world, over io speculators, and pay out the bal
ance for things you ought to produce alongside
with it.
In reference to the growth of cotton I desire
to commend to you a theory which applies to
most of the crops of this climate. It is the fun
damental condition that it znnst occupy the land
—you must get a thick stand and keep it.
The difficnlty in cotton growing never has
consisted in getting forms enough on a stalk;
bnt in getting stocks enough and in getting the
forms to stick and mature, and the failures have
usually resulted from the shedding of forms and
bolls under the hot sun of July and Augu-t.
Now if you will ascertain the cave of this it will
suggest the method of preventing it.
The land generally is open and porous; does
not retain moisture well; is sandy; becomes
heated and radiates heat from below and
parches tho stock in'any weather. If tho
weather is wet, the stocks standing far apart
grow without fruiting; but the drouth is the
main cause of dread. At the very crisis when
all the strength of the land is needed to mature
the fruit, you cease working it—tho soil becomes
dry and hard—the crop withers and fails to per-
foim what it promised in its earlier stages.
Now, the idea of deep breaking in order to
retain moisture, is one that readily suggests
itself. But beyond that, my plan is simple and
its merits easily demonstrated by experiment
It is ty crowd the stocks upon the ground so aB
not only to shade it and prevent the parching
of the young fruit by radiation of heat below it,
but to stop the growth of the stock by midsum
mer, and turn all its force to the maturing of
the boll. Then, instead of allowing a hard crust
to form on top of the ground, continue a system
of light culture until the crisis is over.
By this method of planting you will at least
secure one necessary condition of a good crop,
and that is, stocks enough to make it. And if
Iw fair experiment it is found to mature better
than where fewer stocks are planted, you will
have a double advantage. The objection to the
present system is the rows are too wide apart,
and the stocks too thin in the rows. And us
ually by the time it is cleared of the spring
grass, there is not more than a third of a stand
on the ground, whioh is made to shed its fruit
in the way I have described.
Homicide in Baker County.
The Columbus Enquirer gathers the following
particulars from a private letter just received
from Baker county:
On Friday, 1st September, Mr. James W.
Ivey, a son of Mr, R. D. Ivey, one of the most
influential citizens of that county, was killed by
a negro laborer, on the plantation of the latter,
named Sam Long. It seems that there were
some hogs missing, and suspioion rested on this
negro, who owned hogs himself. Deceased,
thinking that the mark had been altered, bad
been hunting the missing hogs, and the negro
threatened to shoot deceased if he “didnot quit
bothering himself about his bogs;” after which
deceased thought it prudent to carry a pistol
with whioh to defend himself in case he was
attacked by said negro.
On Friday, September 1st, deceased was out
hunting for the missing swine, and while ont
went near the negro’s house, and began to call
hogs; whereupon said negro came out and com
manded deceased “to let bis hogs alone,” and
deceased told Mm “he would do nothing of the
kind nntil he looked at his hogs and saw if his
missing ones were not among them, and told
him to go into his house, that he did not want
any difficulty with him. The negro started in,
and his wife met and told him that he should
not have his gun, but he rushed in and succeeded
in getting a double barrelled gun, loaded with
buckshot, and went out and fired at deceased,
the shot taking effect in the left shoolder, face
and eye. Seeing the first shot had not produced
the desired effect, he fired the second barrel,
which took effect in the left side very near the
heart Deceased then told a negro, who had
rushed to his side, to lay him down as he was
killed. The negro who had laid him down, then
went in quest of a white man who lived near by,
named Whitley, who was soon by his Bide, and
remained with him until he breathed his last,
half an hour afterwards.
Deceased stated to Whitley that he bora the
negro Sam no malice, and that he carried his
pistol to defend himself in case he should be
attacked by him. A coroner’s inquest was held
soon after, and the following verdiot was ren
dered: “Deceased came to his death from the
effects of gunshot wounds in the hanctfi of one
Sam Long, (colored) received on the 1st of £?£'
tember, 1871, in the 7th distriot Baker
Ga., the first one of whioh would h* v0 *****
sufficient to produce death, having ‘wan enea
in the head, neck and sbouId« r » *“ 6
taking effect in the left tide, very near the
heart.” , . , -r'
The murderer escaped, had not been
heard of at last accounts.
It is stated that the murdered young man was
a model of affection in his family, and a moat
dutiful eon. He was about twenty-two years of
age. His aged parents and his brothers and
gUters have the warmest sympathy of

body of its dead parent and they were buried
together.
