AOEICUMTmAL DEPARTMENT. ^ 1 BY TELEGRAPH edited by I 0 f a ]j that adorns, elevates and purifies GENERAL Wm. M. BROWNE, ■ mankind. Professor of History and Agriculture in the Umversity of Georgia. Thoroush Cultivation. Editors Telegraph and Messenger: To obtain the maximum of production at the minimum of cost, and maintain the fertil ity of the soil, is good farming. A crop of which the cost of production exceeds the market value, is poor Jarming, wheth er the excess of cost over value of produc tion arises front too much or two little culture. The poor, fanning of which we see the most frequent examples, is the at tempt to'cultivate a larger area than can he well prepared, well fertilized and well worked. It sounds well to say: “I have so many acres in cotton, so many in com and so many in wheat, oats, rye, etc.;” bu-. it sounds far better to say “I have made a bag of cotton, fifty bushels of com, forty of wheat, seventy-five of oats, etc., to the acre, and my laud is In better condition now than it was a year ago.” It is not the number of acres scratched, hurriedly planted, inadequately manured and im perfectly cultivated that makes the good farmer, but it is the largest production per acre with the smallest outlay, the fertility of the soil being main tained or improved. It is not to exten sive farming operations to which I maka objection. No matter how extensive they may be, if the working force be adequate for perfect preparation and cultivation, and the amount of requisite fertilizers be The Tehuantepec Railroad. This long talked of enterprise is now fairly underway, and is destined to be one of the most important commercial arteries in the world, nitlicrto, the great obsta cle lias been the reluctance of the Mexi can Government to bestow any rights or franchises upon the company which sought to construct the road. It is only recently that the Mexican Congress has granted a charter to Mr. Edward Learn ed, and the work was commenced some time in June or about the 1st of July, 1879. By the terms of tills instrument the road must be completed in three years, the company being bound to construct yearly to the satisfaction of the Government section of not less than sixty-three kilome tres until the whole line is completed. The company is allowed to own and work the road for ninety-nine, years. The terms are as follows * The company is bound to improve at its own expense the harbors situated at the extremities of the railroad; to excavate the entrance or bar at the mouth of the Goat- zacoalcos riTer to a depth of seven metres, and to excavate a channel from the Pacific Ocean to the Up jtfr Lagoon of a depth of seven metres in the middle; being also bound to construct in said Lagoon such wharves, docks, locks and other improve- sufficient, if the tillage be thorough, the menu as may be necessary for its use as a ^sultwi l be profitable.

Where land, which may be unproductive under ordinary scratch plowing, (and all one horse plowing of stiff soils is scratching,) is thoroughly bro ken and disintegrated to a depth of twelve or eighteen inches, it yie' !s large crops without the application of manure, be cause the soil has been exposed, as far as it has been broken, to the fertilizing influ ences of the atmosphere, and iu mineral constituents made soluble and fit for plant food. The cxpcrimcnU at Lois Weedon, in England, some years ago, proved this abundantly. There the spade was made to take the place of the plow in stiff 1 clay, and the soil thoroughly disintegrated to m depth far below that reacli- od in ordinary plowing. The result was said to be upwards of forty bushebof wheat, per acre on the same land for * a succession of years, without any manure. The reason of this is plain. The stiff clay, never stirred by the plow, but natu rally fertile, was pulverized, under the spade culture brought under atmospheric mile) of railroad which it may construct and which shall have been approved by the Bureau of Public Works. The gov ernment agrees not to grant subsidy to any other enterprise for prosecuting sim ilar operations on the same line for the period of twenty years: provided that tills restriction shall not af fect the right of the Mexican government to contract for the open ing of the Isthmus by means of a canal, to which work this grant shall in no way act as an obstacle. The stipulation is made that the goverment will (endeavor to) pay said subsidy on each section of five kilom etres, upon completion of same and ap proval by the board of public works, mak ing such payment iu cash through the general treasury of the nation, or in such manner as may be agreed upon by the ex ecutive and the company; but if from any cause whatever the government shall be unable to pay the subsidy promptly, the company tliall never, nor for any reason, acquire any other right than that of exac ting full payment of the subsidy, upon completion of the railroad, from the first profits of the'road, which would belong to the government under the terms of this contract."

It is further stipulated that the enter prise may in any event export, free from TTlunuUcTt «port duty, mobs equivalent to the subsi- . a "SK “ suFPliedin r entitled to receive the same. sufficient * quantities for several years, to produce the alleged crops of wheat.

The Indians halted where they supposed they would be reasonably secure, at the head of the Rio Perelia in the. Black Mountains. They fortified themselves behind rocks and prepared to resist the soldiery and hold them in check, until they could se cure rest. Major Morrow with two hundred men soon came up and the fight commenced. Victoria held out well for five or six hours, maintaining his ground against every as sault, until sunset, when he retreated. The bodies of seven Indians were found on the battle field. One soldier was kill ed and two wounded. At last accounts the Indians had not been overtaken.

Vienna, January 15.—Specials from Pesth, says serious disturbances have oc curred here in consequence of the recent fatal shooting of Herr Verlioraz, in a duel by Baron Maithenzi. Verlioraz was edi tor of a radical newspaper and very popu lar with the masses. The people say Maithenzi, who is the best pistol shot in Hungary, was persuaded to quarrel with Verlioraz and kill him, in order to silence him, and last night a great crowd of stu dents and workmen filled the streets and neighborhood of the Casino Club, uttering hostile cries. They finally stoned the windows of the club house. The police were repeatedly repulsed by the rioters and finally two battalions of infantry charged them with fixed bayonets. Many persons were slightly hurt by stones, sticks and bayonets. * About thirty of the rioters were arrested.

In issuing a com mission to examine a person alleged to be imbecile from old age or other cause, and incompetent to manage his estate, and in appointing a guardian for such imbecile person o:i the report of the commissioners, the Ordinary exercises a special or limited jurisdiction. The proceedings are summa ry and must be construed strictly. They should show on their face such facts, es pecially touching tlie giving of notice, as M’ill authorize tlie judgment appointing a guardian. 9 Ga., 188. 2. If the nearest adult relatives of the alleged imbecile are themselves the peti tioners for the appointment of a guardian, tlie ten days’ notice provided for in section 1855 of the code should be given to three of the next nearest, or if there be no adult relatives within this State except the peti tioners, then, in order that the spirit of the section as well as the general law may be observed, the Ordinary should cither require tlie ten days’ notice to be given to the alleged imbecile himself, or else designate by order a guardian ad libi- tem to receive tlie notice for him. 3. A commission issued without the re quisite notice, and neither proceeded nor followed by the appointment of a guardian ad libitem, is not aided by the presence of tlie imbecile and his representation by counsel, even u'here the counsel gives his consent to tlie judgment appointing the guardian, it appearing that the commis sion was executed on the next day after it M-as issued, ami that this judgment fol lowed immediately. Tlie object of the notice is that there may be due warning to make objection for legal cause to the commission, or any of tlie commissioners, as M'ell as to prepare for adducing evi dence on tlie main question.

In order that the landlord shall relieve himself from liability to the tenant below caused by the overflow of water from a bathroom above, though properly con structed, and remit the tenant to an action against the co-tenant above, he must show that said co-tenant had the exclusive right of possession and user of the bath room; and where such bath room was un questionably, at the time at least, as much under the right to control and occupy it, ofthe landlord of the co-tenant, the land lord Mill be liable for damages to the tenant below.

Jackson, J.—A promise in w-iting to pay for a colt on tliQ 1st of November thereafter, with a stipulation that the ven dor retained title until paid for, and yet vendees n-ere liable to pay “in the event said colt should die,” is prima facie a promise to pay for the colt at that date, even if it die before payment and while ‘title is in the vendor, and not a promise to pay only if the colt should die; and, therefore, a non-suit, because plaintiff did not prove that the colt was dead, is error.

A paper signed by the heirs at law of an estate authorizing the administrator to settle certain land sales of the intestate, was properly admitted in evidence to show authority in the admin istrator to receive from one of the purchas ers the purchase price of that portion of which he was in possession and which he had improved, and thus to vest a perfect equity in him against that heir, being stri juris, to whom this part fell in tlie divis ion oi the estate. 2. Minors of the estate were not inter ested, because the lands had been divided and this share fell to another who was sui juris, and the court was right to instruct the jury that if this party assented to the settlement by the administrator, she was estopped from setting up title against the settlement so made by her consent. - *3.

A. uPout, editor of the Okefenokean, at Dupont, in South Georgia, and Mayor of the town, figures in a highly sensational society scandal now convulsing the towns of Quitman, Valdosta and Dupont. We always thought that young man had more name than was healthy. Mr. R. II.

At a recent memorial service held in Atlanta for the late Bishop Gilly Haven, more familiarily styled Zion’s blood hound, Colonel Gcorgo S. Thomas, late assistant Uuited States Marshal, whom it fcs said that he sold his political birth right for a mess of pottage, delivered a glowing eulogy. A correspondent of the Griffin Hews notes: Referring to the United States Dis trict Attorneyship for Georgia, tlie com mission of Colonel Farrow, tlie present incumbent, and who has held it a long time, will expire shortly. Already rumor has several very strong applicants for it, chief of whom is Colonel Farrow and Judge McKay, of this city, Judge Bigby, of Newnan, aud Andrew Sloan, Esq., of Savannah. Colonel Farrow’s record as au officer has been made up, and is familiar to the country, while either of tlie other gentlemen spoken of, have ability and learning enough fo discharge the duties of the xdnee efficiently. A runaway marriage between Mr. Idus N. Drcwry and Miss Willie Gassa- way, occurred in Griffin on Tuesday. Irwinton Southerner and Appeal: The planters of lower Twiggs are begin ning to make extensive preparations for the present year’s crop. The rather high price of cotton daring the winter is acting as an inducement for a large acreage in the fleecy staple.

Interesting Relic.— Albany Ad vertiser: Oneofour citizens, living in one of the oldest houses in the city, while rummaging a few days ago through au old desk, an heir-loom left by some ten ant years ago, came across a small pack age carefully wrapped in an old piece of white paper, on which was written; “Sup posed to ’be the hair of Washington.” On opening the littte packet he found a small locket contain ing probably a dozen or more hairs of an iron-gray color, enclosed in a small scrap of black silk. Nootlierproof ofthe genuiness of the relic exists than its ago, and the very evident care with with which it had been preserved. In the same repository was found a very ancient looking jack of diamonds, on the back of which was endorsed: “Jack’s ser mon. Sermon l.—Eccl. xh, xii. Sermon 2.—Eecl. xii,xiiv. Sermon3.—Matt, xm, xvi.” We have not had time to hunt up the above texts, and cannot lay before our readers tlieir full significance. In the hope, however,so often reverently expressed that they may be the means of inducing some not often, we fear, so disposed, to “search the scriptures,” we have been induced to publish them. Both these remarkable and interesting relics have been deposited in the Library by the finder, together with another pack age from the same source containing some $10,000 in Confederate money and bonds of the earliest issues. McDuffie Journal: A Sad Occur rence.—On Saturday evening the 3d in stant, two sons of David Mumford, of Lin coln county, aged respectively thirteen and eleven years, had occasion to cross Little river, about three miles above Ho gan’s mill. The youngest testifies that on their return he crossed in one boat and was standing on the opposite side when his brother pushed oft" in another boat, and, when about the middle of the stream he dropped his paddle and fell over in the water, and he did not see him any more. The alarm was soon given and the friends made search with hooks and drags until 9 o’clock at night without effect. Tlie search was resumed iu the morning, and about ten o’clock they found and dragged the body to the top of the water. It was borne to the residence of his grandmother, which was soon a house of mourning, where the tear of grief was dropped upon the lifeless body. In its last issue the McVille South Geor gian announces the retirement from its editorial management of R. S. Burton. He is succeeded by Messrs. S. A. Fack- ler and C. C. Smitli, who will do all they can to make the paper live, newsy and readable. On Sunday, January 4th instant, at 9:21 o’clock p. m., Joseph Williams died at the residence of his son-in-law, Judge Thomas Stokeiy, in Cartersville, aged ninety-six years, seven months and thirteen days. Tiie Ware correspondent of tlie Val dosta Times says: “ On December 31st Steve Homes, colored, jumped from the Eastward bound passenger train near No. Q-J, Savannah, Florida and Western rail way, as the train was going at full speed. He missed his fooling and fell, getting one of his legs under the train, which was so badly mangled that it had to "be ’ amputated above the knee. Having re ceived int%nal injuries in tlie fall, death relieved him from his sufferings a few days after.” • ' - • - “We learn,” says the Valdosta Times, “from parties at Naylor,, that two boys— Jesse, son of Mr. John J. Carter," aud Pick, son of Dr. Dirkland—got Into a boys’ fight a few pays ago, and that the former stabbed the latter under the shoul der and gave him a serious wound. At first it was thought to be fatal but at iast accounts the injured boy was getting bet ter. The affair 13 greatly regretted on bttti sides.” , . y The Augusta Chronicle thus tells a story-0? an old pocketbook: A few days since a citizen of Augusta was riding in a railway train. In one of his pockets was a pockctbook rather the worse for wear, and in the pocketbo'ok. was a considerable sum ot money. During the day the gentleman had occasion fo put his hand in his pocket, and. to his Sur prise, discovered that his pockctbook was gone. The money, however, was all there. When the thief pulled out tho book expecting to make a good hafll, tlie money slipped'through a hole in one end, remaining in the pocket, while he got notliing but the worthless case. That was one time that it paid to liavo a torn pockctbook. Mr. H. R.

Early next morning the whole population of the vil lage assembled and condemned the" two culprits in a mauncr which would have done credit to the ingenious torture in ventor. The unhappy men were first bound to poles and beaten with clubs till their amis and legs were broken. Then the poor victims were tied to the tails of horses and thus dragged- over the frozen fields until dead, their bodies being after wards flung over a precipice. —Tiie Funeral of Frank Leslie— The funeral of Frank Leslie, the well- known publisher, took place Sunday morn ing from the Rev.
