Surrender of Matasiobas.—Tho news
from Mexico to-day of the desertion of
tfie Government troops to therevolntion-
ifcta and the surrender of Mitamoras,
seems to promise, if not the ultimate
success of the revolution, at least a con
siderable duration cf civil disturbance
and disorder which cannot fail to endan
ger the peace and security of the Ameri
/wyW frontier, and the complication of onr
Government to a greater or less extent in
tho effort to protect national interests.
T.ittp Pontchortrain, below New Or
leans, though somo hundreds of squaro
miles in extent, is fast filling up by de
posits from tbo watersof tho Mississippi,
both from crevasses which often let the
walera across to tbo lake, and from set
tlements by tho eddying of the waters as
they flow round from the Gulf. The an
nual filling up of this lake is about four or
fire inches a year, and even within the
tfmo of the settlement cf our country,
has changed from a salt to a nearly fresh
water body, and the fish have all chang-
thaJr qnartera accordingly.
A horrible accident happened at a
woollen factory at Arnprior, Canada, a
few days since. Mary Stuart, one of the
factory girls, while sweeping tho floor,
was caught by a revolving shaft by the
head, and the whole of her scalp was torn
off from the nape of the neck to the eye
brows. Ono eye is damaged and both
ears are gone. It was the most sickening
sight, to see a bare skull with bright
eves in it. She does not experience any
great pain, and only complains of a full-

not set in she will, in all probability, re
cover.

will be a strange sight, to see Great Bri

Christian people back into slavery to the
Turks. It will take a good deal of Exeter

stick a performance as that.
The Government Printing Office,
A Baltimore Gazette Washington dispatch
says tho Government printing office has
been doing work for private firms, and
tho evidence appears to show that the
superintendent has povketed the money,
Among other documents tho Morse me
morial hears the imprint of the firm of
S lomons & Cnapman, booksellers in
ashington. The senior member of tho
firm says that ho availed himsolf of the
K vilege of the law by paying for a num-
■ of the books at the co3t price, with
ten per cent, advance. No entry was
over made in tho books of tho Govern
ment printing office, though the firm has
the receipt for the money paid.
Tub man Major Merrill, who pockoted
$26,000 extra pay for hounding tbo South
Carolinians, is to bo examined by the
Military Committee of the Honse. Ho
is; says the New York Sun, so innocent,
that he asked tho chairman why he had
been summoned. "If it is to get my views ,
on any intricate subject, I wish you
would tell me now, so I can study and
enlighten your committee.” G°n. Ban
ning blandly informed him that he would'
be heard at length on the situation of
affairs in South Carolina during the ku-
klux raids. Merrill turned his back and :
slunk away with the phantom of a court-
martial and possible dismissal from tho
* service staring him in the face. j
The Mexican Revolution.—The Mex
ican revolution seems to be prospering.;
The insurgents have taken the Town of
lalapa, occupy tho Vera Cruz region, and
are said to have obtained control «£ the
railroads leading to tho capital. Military
success in Mexico is even more admired
than in this country. Tho triumphant
soldier is either considered the best man
foe tb a highest place, or perhaps the pco-
e t d* u*?. think it worth while to oppose
m. As in Spain, tho possession of the
government seems to be decided by an
appeal to arms, and to tho victors liter
al^ "belong the spoils.” Tho Mexican
Congress is abont to meet, ond_ it is
thought not improbable that the icsnr-
genti will be welcomed to the yapital as
public benefactors.
Thb Colored Troops.—Congress, says
tho Baltimore Sun, in the army bill of
1866 directed the enlisting of two regi
ments of infantry and two of cavalry, to
bb composed of colored troops, and
thereafter to form part of tbc regular
n—rjy. The exp-riment has not worked
* well in any sense, and tho almost unan
imous opinion of tho army officers is
r.gjainst it. Tho very strong language
us£fi by General Ord on tho subject in
a Tetter to tho Committee on Military
,A%irs was published some time ago.
Tho committee has the opinion of other
high officers of the army corroborating
tho testimony of General Ord. Adopt
ing the views of army officers, tho com
mittee has determined to report in favor
of mustering tho colored regiments ont
of service. Of course much opposition
will be made, and principally for politi
cal reasons, and it is not improbable that
the Senate will refuso its assent. In
this event tho colored regiments would
bo rotained in the service, for the law is
peremptory, and tho Secretary of War
has ho option at all in tho matter.

Morton and Mississippi.
The Mississippi darkies have declared
for Senator Morton for tho Presidency,
and this must be accepted as final and
conclusive notice that tho third term jig
is up. Morton has earned this distinc
tion from tho great Congo party of Mis
sissippi. He has stood by them to the
very lost stealing, and though greatly in
favor of investigating committees, that
is not tho sort of investigation ho favors.
If they were to take tho last dollar in
the treasury and the last turkey on tho
fence, Morton would say "bless yon, my
dear colored children, do so some more; ’
but if a little ten-year old nigger, rejoic
ing in tho flowing drapery of a sooty
osnaburg shirt, were to bo refused his
"cibil rite” to vote as often as ho
pleases, Morton would set the Mississippi
river on fire and hang every white man
in the State. ,
Just now Morton is busy setting a red
patch in "de enfostment,” where the
Chief Justico stove his foot through it;
and though it is going to bo a long* job, it
is a labor of love to Morton, and he will
stick to it, at least till tho nomination at
Cincinnati is decided.
On tho whole, wo don’t know a better
representative of Mississippi Radicalism
than Senator Morton—or a man more
thoroughly vindictive, one sided and cor
rupt. In the arena of American politics
ho plays the part of a blind mill-horse,
and goes round and ronnd and round, led
by the machine he propels, and with just
03 little scope and area of vision and tho
same elevation of aim. Tho Mississippi
darkies, ond their mules too, should all
vote for Morton.
A Wet Time.
A remarkably heavy rain fell in this
region between Saturday and Monday
mornings last, and apparently is not over
yet. According to Mr. Boardman’s ex
hibit in our edition of to-day, tho rain
fall in that time amounted to five inches
and eleven-hundredths—or more than
ono inch over tho total fall in the month
prevIon3. It is probable that this heavy
downfall of water has done a good deal
of injury to plantations and seeded and
plonghed fields, by washing and beating
the earth down so solid as to be in had
condition for planting and young crops.
The river is reported higher than in the
great fresh of 1841, but of this our city
columns will speak. We presume the
area covered by these rain3 has been ex,
tensive.
The Enforcement Act.
Tho opinions expressed by leading
jurists and by many of tho most promi
nent lawyers in both Houses of Congress,
says the Baltimora Sun, confirm the view
that the recent di cisions of tho Supreme
Court practically nultify the enforce
ment act. In the debate in the Senate
this afternoon on Senator Morton’s pro
posed Mississippi investigation, Gov.
Morton frankly admitted that he regard
ed tho Supreme Court decision as very
unfortunate. Senator Christiancy, who
has long been looked upon as tho most
distinguished incumbent of the bench in
Michigan in hi3 day, is understood to
hold the opinion that no other construc
tion can he put upon the Supremo Court
opinion than that Congress ha3 not yet
provided "appropriate” legislation to
carry ont the constitutional amendment.
This indeed is the reluctant admission of
most of those who wero instrumental in
enacting the enforcement law, and who
are yet in Congress. The object of the
leaders of tho Republican party will
be to put a new legislation on the statute
books to subserve their ends, and which
will not he susceptible to tho objections
raised by the Supreme Court to tho pres
ent law. It is conceded by the Republi
cans that they will have to go into the
next canvass with little reliance on the
advantages which have heretofore an
crued to them in certain States by the
operations of the enforcement act. It is
contended by tho best friends of the
colored people that there is no necessity
for any such legislation; yet if tho Re
publicans obtain control of tho next
House of Representatives they will most
undoubtedly make new laws on the sub
ject. The enforcement act was debated
several days in tho Senate, and finally
passed after an all night session, when
every one was exhausted. The Republi
can Senators, almost without exception,
declined to enter into any argument as
to its constitutionality. In tho House the
Republican majority permitted a debate
of only two and a half bonrs.
Tbe Schenck Case.
The Philadelphia Times snms up the
defense of tho professor of poker in this
wise: "Schenck yesterday admitted that
for thirteen months ho carried five hun
dred shares, for which ho had not actu
ally paid a cent, and that he received
two per cent, a month on this for several
months, until ho agreed to accept one and
half per cent, per month, which he
received regularly thereafter. Tho or
iginal bargain, ho testified, was that he
should get two per cent, a month on tho
shares while they should ho held by him,
and that Park wa3 to take them hack at
par. That bargain was fraudulent on
tho fa-.o of it. Tho transaction amount
ed simply to tho pajment of twenty-
four per cent, per annum on $50,000. or
of $12,000 (afterward reduced to $0,000)
annually without any property equiva
lent. To bo sure, Schenck says he gave
his note, bat tho owners of good minins!
stock are not in the habit of selling it for
unsecured notes and then guaranteeing
twenty-four per cent, dividends upon it.
When Schenck owned up to this corrupt
bargain ho virtually confessed every
thing.”
Early Resumption.
Tho American Manufacturer and Iron
World puts tho matter in a very plain
light, as follows: “By tho recent month
ly gold statement of tho Treasury Depart
ment, it has been made plain that we
are much farther off from the likelihood
of specie payments in March, 1876, than
wo wero in January, 1875. It appears
that tho Government, notwithstanding
its parade of figures, possessed a few
weeks ago specie ossots to tho amount of
only $27,535,041, of which $14,193,618
consisted of silver coin and bnllion, leav
ing merely $13,341,428 of gold money-
even that small sum, with more besides
wero it in the Treasury, being needed to
satisfy outstanding liabilities to various
public creditors. After some fourteen
months of exDericnco under the resump
tion act the United States have not even
one gold dollar which can be legitimately
applied to carrying out tho purposes of
that act, and tho future offers no bright
er prospect than tho past. Tho broad
farce ot attempting to return to specie
payments without specie, and without
hope of getting specie, is played out. It
is time to ring down the curtaiD, dismiss
tho audience, and turn off tho gas.'

The Fntnre of Cotton.
Baltimore Gazette.!
It is well that tho people of tbe South
should realize that tho low prices of cot
ton during thi3 season are not caused os
much by tho large size of tho particular
crop, now being marked, as by tho steady
yearly increase in the yield of the South
in the past, and tbe prospect of tho con
tinuance of that increase in the future.
And whilo tho consumption ha3 also
steadily increased, to tho extent of using
all of tho production, yet the price at
which the raw staple has entered
into consumption has been yearly be
coming lower and lower, the result of the
steadily increasing supply. The follow
ing statistics will show how regular the
increase in the yield of the South has
been since 1822, and'from them we may
form some idea of what may he expect
ed in the future. The yiold3 of 1875 and
1876 are, of course, only estimated, and
the aggregate yield of each decade is
given, as showing more clearly tho av
erage steady increase. It will bo ob
served that tho average weight of tho
oa!e3 has increased from about 300
pounds each in 1822 to about 480 pounds
each in 1876. Tho yields of tho five
years from 1862 to 1866 aro omitted, as
tho South was too much disturbed to
render statistics reliable:
C-ops from Bales. Pounds.
1822 to 1831.... 7.851,000 2,357,138,000
1832 to 1841....14 952,000 5.233.445,000
1842 to 1851....23,226.000 9.200.479.000
1852 to 1801...36.598,000 16,103.521.000
1867 to 1876....3S,113,000 18,290,000,000
It appears from tho above that the
yield of tho ten years since tho war has
exceeded that of the decade immediately
prior to it by about 2,186,489 000 pounds,
equivalent to about 4,700.000 bales of
460 pounds each. Ic the statistics above
given we have estimated tho crop of
1875 at about 4,600,000 bales, which
is quite the general estimate now, and
that of 1876 wo havo assumed to bo
about 4,500,000 bales; for, of course, in
a period of two years a difference of even
500,000 bales would not materially affect
the results of our calculations.
As regards the crop of this year sev
eral considerations tend to show that
there is no reason, as yet, to expect that
it must necessarily be les3 than that of
1875. Tho season, thus far, has been
unprecedentedly favorable to the plant
ers’ work, and all the lands will bo in
remarkably good condition for the recep
tion of tho seed next month. We do not
think, from all information attainable
thus early, that the average in cotton
throughout tho Atlantic States will be
less than it was last spring, for whilo it
i3 quite true that most planters have
lost money from their cotton planting
operations of last year, yet they have to
earn iheir living, and, as cotton is tho
principal staple here, they will have to
plant it, in the hope of being able to
raise it more cheaply, and obtaining bet
ter net resnlts next season. It i3 a fact,
moreover that tho shipments of fertili
zers to the interior this spring have ex
ceeded those of last year up to the prc3
ont time.
As regards the average of the South
west there is much reason to expect that
it will be increased this Spring; for the
nlanters there havo been compensated
for the low prices at this season by the
very large yield of 1875; and the losses
there have noUbeen heavy, as in the At
lantic section, whero tho planters had
both low prices and very short crops.
Yearly more and more of the fertile
lands west of the Mississippi are brought
under- cultivation; thus far fully five
six’hs of the valuable lands suitable for
cotton culture there aro innocent of tbe
plow; and year by year tbe populations of
Texas and Arkansas are increasing in a
greater ratio than in any other sections of
the South. When thi3 great section is
more fully developed tho yield of cotton
will be simply enormous—a3 largo as tho
present aggregate crop of the South. It
will not be far in the future before a crop
of 7,000,000 bales will not be considered
very excessive in that region.
It is to be expected that this steady in
crease in tbe yield of cotton will as stead
ily lower prices, and next season we shall
probably see quotations rule perhaps a
cent per pound below the average of this,
and yearly, for some time to come) prices
of tho staple will probably continue to
decline. The South can give to the world
very cheap cotton. Tho Atlantic States
may not be able to do so, but the South
west can, and it is from this section that
the great crops are coming. Tho lower
our staple langes in value the more effec
tively will it compete with East India
cotton; for this latter class cannot bo ex
ported at much lower rates than it has
brought in Europe this season; and more
over. the production of India is limited.
In 1866 the yield of that country was the
largest ever produced, and such as will
not again be equaled, for tbe population
there is very dense, and eo much iand
was withdrawn from the cultivation of
grain and applied to that of cotton that a
fearful famine resulted. Tho timo is
coming when East India cotton will be
entirely superseded in Europe by our
American staple.
Tho low prices of tho raw material will
stimulate tho manufacture of cotton
goods in this country, and these fabrics
will bo freely exported and sold in Eu
rope. For tho lower the staple declines
in value the larger will be tho per cent-
age of expenses in proportion to tho cost
delivered in Europe. As an instance, the
freight at one-half pence per pound on a
bale costing hero only $-40 is twice as
heavy as on a bale worth $80; therefore,
the manufactured goods being of much
greater value, in proportion to bulb, than
tbo raw material, will largely take it3
place in th8 export trade of this country.
After a time tbo fabrics of tho American
spinners will freely competo with those
of Lancashire in tho markets of Great
Britain. In viow, therefore, o? tho pros
pect of still lower prices for cotton in tho
1 uturo.it now behooves the planters to
practice every economy and uso every
means to raise their crops cheaply.
Healtn ot Washington.
A correspondent of tho New York Sun
tells an alarming story aboct tho sani-
tary condition of tho National Capital.
He says those those terrible sconrges,
typboia and typho-maiarial fever, "throat
rot” and diptheria are now prevailing to
an alarming extent in that city, and are
daily increasing in intensity and fatality,
These destructive complaints aro tho
natural results and consequences entail
ed upon us by the “comprohensiva system
of improvements,” orginated and prose
cuted by Boas Shepherd and his Ring of
thieves during their rascally reign.
Tho sewera constructedoy that plun
dering crow aro notoriously inadequate
for even ordinary drainage, and during
heavy rain storm3 their contents back up
and discharge into the cellars and base
ments of buildings cn Pennsylvania
avenue and two adjoining streets; in
fact, dwellings on M street, northwest,
the most elegant portion of tho city, are
subject to the same nuisance.
Tho main sewera and laterals are rap
idly filling with excrcmentitious matter.
This fearful accumulation of putrid, do-
composing animal and vegetable sub
stances is gradually approaching every
building that is connected with tho main
sewers. Tho deadly gases generated by
this mass of corruption escape directly
into our houses and are inhaled at every
breath. If wo attempt to ventilate by
open doors or windows, we are met by an
atmosphere 'charged with infectious
spores arising from the decay and rot
tenness of the wood pavements.
With these startling facts before U3,

sons to expect a terrible epidemic during

stroy hundreds, if not thousands, of our
citizens.

It i9 intimated that all is not well with
the Government, and when that is the
case they do say tho Government seeks
surcease of sorrow in about forty drops of
spiritual balm. The Government is not,
and has not been visible for three days,
which indicates a very violent attack, and
consequently a larger dose of tho balm
than nsnal Tho Star of yesterday refers
to the matter by stating that the Gov
ernment "has been suffering for two or
threo days from what is said to bo a ro-
cnrronco of an affection in the nature of
nenralgia, and is still too unwell to re
ceive visitors”—which is tho first timo I
ever heard it called by that namo. Let
us hope that this bright morning finds
the sufferer’s "neuralgia” entirely cured,
and his appetite for food and tobacco
completely restored.
TnK DEVIL ON TWO STICKS
has also been unlucky this week He lost
his balanco yesterday while leaving the
elevator at the Ebbitt House and fell
heavily, giving one of bis knec3 a good
grinding against tho floor. It was a se
vere blow, but be assuaged the pain by
letting fly a few additional maledictions
upon the heads of tho Southern people,
and was in his seat a9 usual when the
Senate met, where he d—d our folks with
even more than his usual devilish hearti
ness in
THE MISSISSIPPI DEBATE
which took place. Mr. Bayard, of Dela
ware, opened the debate, and was fol
lowed by Boutwell, who was more ma
lignantly scurrilous in his attacks upon
the South and the Democratic party
than usual. He declared that, if that
party was not completely annihilated at
the next election, there would be another
civil war, and meanly insinuated what he
dared not charge openly—that Mr. Bay
ard was one of those who wero responsi
ble for having deluged the Iand with
blood. His speech was ono of tho most
atrociously and infamously false, malig
nant, and cowardly that has been vomi
ted upon tho Senate. Mr. Bayard re
plied vith crushing effect, and Boutwell
scowled and glared like a whipped bully
when Mr. Bayard declared that "any
man who said that he had ever been dis
loyal to his country, lied in his throat.’
Loud applause, accompanied by cries of
"Good 1” resounded through the galler
ies, and Boutwell dropped bis head and
sat shaking with rage and mortification,
But he swallowed the lie very meekly,
for all that, and didn’t even seem to
have tne sympathy of his fellow Jucobins
on the floor.
During tho debate Morton referred to
the recent decision of the Supremo Court
regarding the enforc ment act, declaring
that ho regarded it as "very unfortu
nate”—for his allies at the South ho
meant, though ho did not eay so much in
words- And well be may. It is the
clinching nail in the coffin of Radical
hopes in the South for the next election.
It will put a stop to their develish work
of terrorizing and dragooning tho people
of tho South from tho polls and enable
them to carry those States solid for tho
candidate of right and tho constitution
at the next Presidential election. The
Jacobins, since tho decision, have looked
pretty blue, but they openly declare that
if they carry the next House they will do
the work over and do it so well that the
Supremo Court cannot find a flaw in it.
Depend upon it. that if they aro success
ful and again have a majority in both
Houses they will wreak even a more dev
ilish vengeance upon the South than our
people havo ever imagined. Our only
safety is in boating them at the polls,
and with a solid voto from the South our
prospects therefor will bo immensely in
creased. Who -rill dare to stand against
or hazard such a union in tho face of
such awful consequences as must follow
division among ourselves?
THE LOOSE CHANGE IN THB TREASURY
stood on Monday at about $1,500,000,
and when tho amount is reduced to
$1.000 000 tho Treasury will stop the
issue ot fractional currency. It is issued
at tho rate of $100,000 a day, bo the fur
ther issue will cease this week. Two
hundred and fifty thousand dollars in
fifty cent notes will be retained for the
Centennial show, to be used as change.
If the programme bo carried out wo
shall soon see a scarcity of change all
over tho country, and there will be a
run upon the old stockings and chests
that aro supposed to bo tbe hiding-places
of the silver that is in tho country. If
you have any on hand begin to look them
up and loosen tho hard knots in the
strings.
THERE 13 SOME TALK
this morning of a “skrimmage” between
a man calling himself Gen. Rico and Gen.
Custar, of the United States of America.
Tho former is ono of tho numerous Gen
erals who spend their time in skirmishing
for a living in this city, and, according
to Custar, has been making a good thing
out of introducing folks to Belknap, and
being "in” with numerous Indian trader
In a card in yesterday’s Republican ho
called Custar a liar, and now it is pub-
lished'that C. says he means to thresh
that Rice, but Rice’s cronies say ho isn’t
that kind of a cat, and promise lively
times for Custar when ho tries it on.
By the way, I hope Brother Barr sent
you a full synopsis of Cu9tar’s testimony
regarding Belknap and tbo post-trader-
ship business generally, for it is quite di
verting, and must havo been cheerful
reading for tho Belknap family. Apropos
of B , they say Beast Butler will bo his
leading counsel, which is quite according
to tho eternal fitness of things. I have
no doubt, however, that the Beast thinks
all this pother about such a email matter
is deuced pretty business, and laughs
in his sleeve at his political confederates’
pretenses of horror and indignation over
it.
Belknap and Mrs. B. still keep them
solves very shady, and aro rarely seen
outside their doors and aro not invited
to take something a3 often as formerly.
Now if B. bad only had a million or so,
he would not lack either for fun or
friends, but I judge lio was a freo spend
er and hasn’t a very large lot of ready
cash about his person. And so ho is only
“Belknap—tbe man who has been acting
so badly, you know.”
IN ORDER
that your readers may get a fair idea of
the tone and temper of Boatwell’s utter
ances in the speech referred to above,'
append, herewith, an extract, which- is
fair sample of tho diabolism of tho whole
performance. If he speaks for his party
or section, then indeed is the Union, as it
now stands, an infamous fraud and
loathsome lie. Ho said:
“ For seventy years the spirit of bypsc-
risy and misrepresentation dominated
over tbo slave-holding section of this
confederacy. They continually presented
themselves to the country and to the
world as tho friendB of the Union, and it
wa3 a lie from first to last-. They wero
the enemies o“ the Union; and when the
Union did not answer the chief purpose
which they had, and the only purpose
they had, the preservation of the institu
tion of slavery, they made war upon the
Union. The Senator from Delaware was
tho political supporter and ally and tho
substantial defender of tbe men who
made war upon the Union, who clung to
tbo Union for seventy years under the
falsehood that they were its friends.
They wero its enemies all tho while.
Slavery and the spirit of slavery is and
ever has been tho enemy of the Union
and is so to-day. To-day these troubles
throughout tho South aro due to the
spirit of slavery, until the timo has come
when I am forced to confess to myself
and with reluctanco to say hero that I do
not in my heart believe that any man
educated under and obedient to the influ
ence of slavery can bo the friend of
Union«that is designed to establish any
equality. The North will do well to take
heed that it trusts no man who W03
brought up under tho influence of slave
ry, controlled by its spirit, and domina
ted by its power, which ia not yet extinct.
“ Is it not something that after having
defended and preserved tho Union, the
Republican party gave political rights to
tne men who had made war on it for four
years,, who crimsoned tho face of the
wholo country with blood ? Was it not
something? Those very men to-day,
fresh from these fields of treason and of
blood, are engaged in investigating the
men who carried on this war by which
they were prostrated. The Senator from
Delaware, under the sanction of tbe
opinion of the Supreme Court rendered
on Monday last, looks to the time when
the Kuklur, some of whom were fined
and others of whom are imprisoned, are
to have their fines returned from the
Treasury of the United States and the
doors of the prisons opened that he and
his friends may welcome them. They
are imprisoned because they did the be
heat3 of slavery; because they obeyed
the policy of the ancient Democratic
party; because they submitted to the
spirit that always controlled that party,
that controls it to-day.
"Does the Senator from Delaware ex
pect an nprising of the people of the
North to defend his friends in the South?
Let him beware of November. The
people of this country are already awake
to tho truth that tho spirit of the rebel
lion which they supposed had been sub
dued by war is still powerful in tho
South; that it oppresses four millions of
human beings; that it instigates all sorts
of outrage and wrong; that there i3 no
freedom in these old States for the people
who are not identified with the old slave-
holding aristocracy of that section of the
conntry. No, sir; the people of this
country are going to do no such thing.
If they fail to do their duty the Govern
ment is lost. If they fail to overthrow
the Democratic party by a vote so over
whelming that there can be no excuse
for bribery, for falsehood, for double re
turns, this conntry a year from this will
bo involved in another civil war. Nothing
but an overwhelming vote of tbe people,
from which there can be no appeal oy
traitors, will save ns from civil war.”

Bice Culture, Harvesting and Clean
Itg.
Editors Telegraph and Messenger: Thero
are two kinds of rice—golden and white—
tho latter is beBt adapted, we think, to
the middle region of Georgia. Rich,
low lands aro best adapted to its cultl
ration—lands wita an admixture of sand
preferable. Lands too wet for com or
cotton will make rice; but such lands
should be ditched, as rice needs cultiva
tion like corn or cotton—clean culture to
produce the best results. Do not plant
on beds.
Rice may bo planted in hills or in
drills, after the ground has been thor
oughly ploughed, just before planting,
and, if possible, harrowed so a3 to pro
duce a smooth surface. If in hills plant
two feet each way, one dozen grains in
a hill and cover very lightlv with a bull
tongue plow. If in drills, two feet to
two feet and a haff apart, which will re
quire two bushels of seed per acre. If
the seed are dropped, instead of drilled
along, at least half may bo saved; say
ono dozen grains in a hill, dropped from
one foot to eighteen inches apart in the
drill. In this way one half bushel of
rice will plant nearly or quite an aero-of
ground. (Vhere seed is scarce this is an
excellent method.
As soon as tho plant gets well above
tbe ground it should be ploughed, either
in hills or drills, lightly, but thoroughly;
at least two ploughing and hoeings
being necessary to produce a good crop.
Rice requires about the same amount of
work ns corn, and it is quite a mistake
somo people havo fallen under that this
valuable and remunerative grain requires
little or no labor to make a good crop.
Rice will bear as much neglect as any
crop, oven when it has been abandoned
to the grass and weeds, if cleaned in time,
will yield handsomely.
Wo would recommend, then, a clean
and light system of culture as tbe beat.
the yield of land.
This will ‘depend, of course, upon the
qualitr of fertility, cultivation, etc-, but
it 13 safe to estimate, on lands that will
produce thirty bushels of corn per acre,
at least fifty bushels of rice -eay be made.
Seventy-five to one hundred bushels
havo been gathered frequently on a sin
gle acre of land. Some gentlemen near
Opelika, Ala., made a3 fine a crop tho
past year.
TIME OF PLANTING.
From the 1st of April to the 15th is the
best timo to pla-.t rice in Talbot and ad
joining counties. Early planting is pre
ferable, as our seasons are shorter than
on tho sea coast, and rice must be ma
tured before tho frost. If not planted
early, the crop may bo destroyed by the
rice birds in May.
TIMS TO nARVEST BICE.
When tho heads begin to turn, watch
it closely, and when all the grains are
full and ripe, except at tho butt or lower
part of tbo ear, it must be cut. Tho crop
is liablo to scatter, the stem break off and
bo lost if allowed to get too ripe.
HOW TO nARVEST IT.
You must uso a reap hook in catting, a
cradlo will not do, lay tho blades down
on the stubble to sun at least two days or
tie up ond hook i; on pole3 so it can dry
thoroughly, then stack it like you do
wheat in shocks, or a better plan is to
haul it under cover, well dried. Rice,
liko other grain, will undergo a heating
process; bnt this is necessary to success
ful milling; care, however, must be ob
served and tbe grain not allowed to heat
too much, as it is liable to be discolored.
THRESHING IT OUT.
Frails may bo used or the bundles of
rice may be whipped over tbo open end
of a hogshead, so that the grain will fall
inside. Very little fanning, if any, will
prepare it for the mill. Do not thresh
on the naked ground. Rico threshers
can be bought of C. E. Malone, Macon,
Ga., for about $70, made for the pur
pose. An ordinary wheat thresh will not
do.
Rico i3 valuable as a feed, but it must
bo fed with caution, as tbe beards have
been known to work out through a horso’s
jaw. Rice straw is is valuable as liay or
fodder, and worth as much to feed on.
Rice flour is a fine feed for chickens, pigs
and cows. This comes out of your rico
at the mill, and cornos back to you like
your seconds or bran in wheat.
One more precaution wo wish all farm
ers to observe. Endeavor to keep tho
grass seed cut of your rice. There is a
grass very similar and only distinguish
able by ii practiced eye, that grows up
with the young plants, that must be
pulled out.
Plant early, cultivate well, and when
your crop is gathered or cut, be certain
yonr rice i3 perfectly dry and clear «f
grit, before it come? to the mill, as that
is essential to a good turnout, as much
so, as it is in wheat.
Wo omitted to mention, that any kind
of manure, such as barn-yard or stable
manure, guano, etc, may be used profit
ably on rice.
RtCZ MILL
Wo have been getting up a rice mill for
the past twelve months and are nappy to
announce (a's we were the pioneer in this
movement ic Middle Georgia, if not in
the entiro State.) we shall spare no effort
to perfect our mill, ca which we are now
at work, and will have it in Operation by
September next.
It will be a regular rico mill; no old
fashioned mortara and pestels; but a mill
thoroughly equipped for milling rice
upon most approved methods.
Our capacity will be 120 bushels in
twenty-four hours of rough rice, and we
shall double this if the business warrants.
For this yeir our toll will be ono-sixth
of the rough graiD, and next year, one-
eighth.
We guarantee as beautiful a sample as
can bo made in tho world. Mills two

I hope to spend the balance of my days
in your State. Let mo say I am ihoro

The Ocmnlgee on the Rampage.
The ram which began falling between
two and three o’clock Saturday after
noons, continued with very brief inter
mission until yesterday morning. At
intervals it was accompanied by thunder
and very vivid lightning, bnt was unac
companied by wind. By reference to
Mr. Boardman’s statement, which ap
pears elsewhere, it will be seen that the
fall of run daring the forty-eight hours,
ending at 9 o’clock yesterday, was 511-100
inches—more than fell curing the entire
month ot March, or daring any previous
month of the present year.
Abont noon Sunday the Ocmnlgee
river began to show indications of
rapid rise, and at dark it still continued
to rise, and lacked only eighteen inches
of reaching the point indicated as the
height of what is known a3 the great
Harrison freshet.” Tho water contin
ued to rise during the night, and at 10
o’clock yesterday, when wo first visited
the river, had covered the Harrison
freshet mark, and at 5 o’clock in the
afternoon wa3 four inches above, and at
7i o’clock at night was still rising, but
very slowly.
We never saw a more turbid and angry
looking stream. The waters went swirl
ing and sweeping along at the rate of
eight or ten miles an hour, bearing down
immense quantities of driftwood, planks,
timbers, and even cattle—showing that
the damage above must have been very
great. Several cattle went down about
noon yesterday, being powerless to resist
the current. With their heads barely
above the water, they passed on down,
and were soon borne out of sight by tbo
rapid current.
That portion of East Macon lying
nearest the river was completely sub
merged. By the breaking of a levee
which had been built for the protection
of that portion of the city, the water came
upon the people unawares, and was al
most in their bouses before they were
aware of their danger. Many of them
ljad to wade* out, while others were
brought away from their houses in boats.
Some of them shouted very lustily for
help; bnt fortunately all got away safely.
Tbe bosses in the submerged portion of
the city, were mostly occupied by colored
people. They were small, one story
shanties, light enough to have floated
away had the water risen a little higher.
Boats were busy all day yesterday bring
ing away furnituro which was consider
ed to be in danger.
Tho lower portion of Central City
Park wa3 completely submerged. At
one place at the lover end of the new
park the water was over the outside
fence, and a largo portion of the fence
was broken down by the pressnre of
drift wood against it. For about a
quarter of a mile tho water was entirely
over tee railing which encloses tho mile
track. All the stables and stock pens
were submerged to a greater or
less extent. The water also rose several
inches in Machinery Hall. The river
left its bank and ran in to the park not
far from the grand entrance and formed
quite a considerable stream not far from
the conservatory, while another ran on
the opposite side of the conservatory,
united with the former and running off
toward the new park washing the
beds and drives considerably. It will
be impossible to tell what damage has
been done in the park until the waters
shall have receded.
THE RAILROADS.
So far we have been able to get very
unsatisfactory reports of the condition of
tho railroads, but it is feared that the
damage to some of them has been very
heavy.
All the trains on the Central road
passed as usual yesterday. Parties on
the incoming train last evening report
no apparent danger anywhere along the
lino.
No train has passed over the Macon
and Brunswick road since Sunday. That
portion of the track lying through the
swamp between the city and the river is
so much submerged that trains cannot
pass over without great risk, indeed, the
water is so deep upon tho track as to
extinguish the fire3 in the locomotives
should they attempt to pass.
There was a good deal of apprehension
yesterday with regard to tho security of
the Macon and Augusta bridge. Until
afternoon it stood the pressure admirably,
and apprehensions began to be allayed.
The 3 o’clock passenger train came in on
time, passing over tho bridge, safely.
But shortly after tho train passed the
bridge gave evidence of weakness, and
moved considerably out of its position.
Tho water was not within three feet of
tho bridge; but the immense pressure of
the torrent seemed to be steadily wearing
away tho middle pier. Supervisor L. J.
Tratti was here, and at 9 o’clock in
tho evening he determined to take
the train across if possible. It start
ed out with quite a number of gen
tlemen aboard; but as it rounded the
curve thb side tho bridge, a man was
seen ahead with a lantern, motioning
them down. Tho train was stopped near
tho bridge, when it was discovered that
tho embankment on the west side of the
river had given away, and that the im
mense trestle leading from tho embank
ment to the bridge had gone, leaving
only the stringers and rails. The bridge
kept np a continuous creaking and crack
ing as if steadily giving away, and the
party remained at the bridge until mid
night, expecting every minute to see it
go. It was still standing, however,
when the train returned to the city,
though it was generally feared that it
would not last until morning.
While at tho bridge, Mr. Tratti made
a very narrow escape from drowning.
Ho started to go across the remaining
timbers for the purpose of examining
tho bridge, and stepped upon a cross-tie
which gavo way, and qnick as thought he
was in the swirling torrenc below. By
the merest chance he caught hold of a
stringer—one end of which still rested
upon the bank. This started tomovo
off, but somo of tho men who were there
caught it and held it fast until Mr.
Tratti made his way to land. But fer
the presence of that timber he wonld
almost inevitably have been lo3t-
So far we have heard of no damage to
tho Southwestern road.
The train on the Mnscogee road did
not come in yesterday evening. Con
ductor Denso, who arrived with his train
at 3 o’clock in the afternoon, reported
the trestle over Beaver creek in great
jeopardy, and it is possiblo that it has
been washed away, or that tho incoming
train found it too hazardous to attempt
its passage. This trestle is about four
hundred feet long.
It was reported yesterday ovening on
very good authority, that a portion of
tho bridge over the Oconee, on tho Geor
gia Railroad, lately rebnilt had been
swept away.
To-dav we will probably be able to get
more definite particulars from all partB
Tfce Centennial Freshet.
The Oemulgee has at last retired to it-
banks and is onoe more abont to reen ^
its good behavior. Though the
havo fallen some six or eight feet.

Another span of tho Macon and An
gusta bridge went down at 9 o’clock nishi
before last, and being the middle span ;
fell into tho deep current of the stream
anawasoarriedoff. The other span buS
remains and is likely to remain. Th
work of rebuilding this bridge, we ate
formed, will be oommenoed at onoe. i„
the meantime, trainB over the road win
run regularly between Gamak ana Mil.
IedgeviUe. Between Milledgeville and
Maoon the Central road will hare to b*
used.
The water has entirely retired from th 9
Park, leaving the ground in much better
condition than was apprehended. The
grounds are not badly washed. Tte
worst damage is to tho fencing. Se TeriI
panels of the front fence between the
grand entrance and the river were broken
down, and some five hundred yards ol
the ontside enclosure, at the lower endoi
the new park, shared the same fate
Mayor Hnff had thirty-eight men, with
a snffioient number of mn\es and carta, at
work yesterday, and if the flue weather
continues, by Snnday not a vestige-of the
freshet will remain to be seen. The
Mayor is doing this work at his own risk,
the City Council manifesting a stolid in
disposition to do anything to maintain
the park.
Undo Jim, an old negro who has net
lived off tho Nspier plantation in fifty
years, says the river rose a foot higher on
Monday than he ever saw it before. Be
remembers the Harrison freshet well
It will be some two or three days yet
before (rains can inn on the Macon and
Brunswick road, the track having been
broken between the city and tho river.
The train on the Mnscogee read win
leave at the nsnal hour this morning, l; 3
track is all right throughout the whole
length of the line.
The Fort Valley Mirror of yesterday
says:
Flint river at the railroad bridge .s one
solid sheet of water for fenr miles.
Abont one-half mile of the railroad track
isoompletely submerged, and it ia thragbt
that a quarter of a mile of the embank
ment between the creek and river is
washed away. It is impossible to tell the
amonnt of tho damage until the vatu
falls. Tho bridge across the river is per.
fectly safe. The water is receding slowly.
Railroad men think that it will require a
week’s time to repair the damages.
We think tho Mirror is misinformed,
and aro satisfied that the trains will ret
regularly after to-day.
Major Huff went down to the Napier
plantation yesterday, and fonnd the occu
pants of tbe negro quarters fishing fr:m
tho windows of their cabins, and ectnally
catching fish. An occupant of one of
the cabins dropped a line in bis firo-place
and caught a catfish fifteen inches long.
This is verified on the most reliable an.
thority.
The water has retired from the sub
merged houses in E ist Macon, and their
occnpacts can retain to them without tbs
aid of boats. The honsca are left in a
very sorry condition. Fally fifty of them
wero more or lesi submerged.
