He will swim in Augusta. He will perform in the rag ing canal—"nest week.” Tns editor of the Ishmaelite has an ap preciative heart as well as a delicate taste for the beautiful. Hear him: Two of our beautiful young ladies were engaged last week in getting up contribu- tions'in money, to send to" the sufferers in Ireland. It was one of those thoughtful and beautiful acts which so well adorn the character of woman. It is the crown ing glory of her being that her ear is ever open to the cry of distress. The Savannah News, of the 25th, says: On the 13th instant, Isaiah Withers, a colored man, died at a house near Mon- tcith station, on the Savannah and Charleston railroad, under suspicious cir cumstances, he having stated that he had been poisoned by a negro man, whose name he did not know. The stomach of the deceased was removed by Coroner Sheflall and brought to the city for the purpose of being subjected to a chemical analysis. Dr. Sheflall called upon Dr. J. S. Morel to assist him in the examination, which was conducted in the most thor ough manner and was finished yesterday. We are unable at present to state the re sult of their labors. A new route from Jacksonville, Flor ida, to Savannah is among the latest de velopments in transportation circles. It consists of the inside route fromSavannah by steamer to Femandina, and thence by rail, thirty miles, to Jacksonville, and is to be known os the “Sea Island Route.” It will be one of the most pleasant routes to the “Flowery Land.” If the medical colleges continue to in crease in number and each institution continues to force upon the public the usual number of “adjusters of the ills to which flesh is heir,” what will become of the people? The proportion of the people to the doctors is becoming fearfully small and yet iu the face of all these facts, on Wednesday last at Savannah, Messrs. A. B. George, Jacob Welchselbaum and R. S. Sanders stepped up and claimed a sheepskin at the hands of the Savannah medical college. We tender our congrat ulations to the successful young gentle men. But oh, what is to become of the people? The ladies of Sandersville will erect a cenotaph In the cemetery whereon floral offerings will be placed in memory of the Confederate dead buried elsewhere. A commendable enterprise. Sandersville has a new fledgling which she has baptised as “Sandersville Amateur Minstrel Company.” The sound , of their coming will soon be heard in the land. Savannah News: Some time since a valuable cow was stolen from the place of Colonel Charles H.Olmstead, at Beaulieu, and inquiries have been quietly prosecut ed in reference to her disappearance. Re cently it was discovered that the cow was in possession of a Mr. Hudson, who stated that he purchased her from a negro named Edward Brown. Upon this information Colonel Olmstead yesterday appeared be fore Magistrate Russell and had a warrant issued against Brown, who was arrested and required to give bond in the sum of One thousand dollars for his appearance at court. Brown states he purchased the cow from another negro, but this remains to be proven. There is to be a Republican mass meeting in Savannah on next Tuesday jalgliU-i'to Condition, the welfare of bis children as far as possible.” This call is mado L y executive committee of Chatham county. Georgia is the first State in the South in point of manufactures. Still them is room for improvement. Every possible encouragement short of class legislation, should be given to industrial enterprises in tbe State. The people of the South, as far as possible, should do their trading in the South, rather than in other sections of the country. We help ourselves by help ing each other. The Sparta Ishmaelite says: Fanning operations have been considerably delay ed by the excessive rains of this month. Very little com has been planted. April will be well advanced before that crop is off the hands of the farmers. It is proba ble that some of the bottom lands will qot lie in order for planting before May. There are some indications of rust in Wheat—whether of a serious character or not, we arc unable to say. George Ltnch, a son of Thomas Lynch, of Augusta, was drowned on last Wednesday, at Reed’s mill, fifteen miles from the city. Hawkinsville Dispatch: On Tues day afternoon, the 23d, a colored woman, employed as cook for the family of Mr. C. II.King, ol this place, was instructed to go down and get a can of kerosene oil. it seems that there was a small quantity of oil in the can, which the woman deci ded to pour in the stove. There was a fire in the stove, and when the oil was poured upon it it caused the can to ex plode, and soon the woman was envel oped in flames. She ran from the house across the yard, and before assistance could reach her, all the garments she had on were burned from her body. She was horribly burned, and it is thought her in juries will prove fatal. The following chapter of accidents and death we clip from the Jesup Sentinel: . Joe White and John Jackson, two ne groes, had a fight at Doctortown on Mon day. White cut Jackson on the right ann with a hatchet, inflicting a terrible wound. The flesh was laid open to the bone. Monday afternoon a colored man named Fenton Green was stabbed in the neck by G. R. Reddish, near S. R. Mor- S m’8 store, about a mile from Jesup. We d not learn the orig’n of the trouble, and do not know whether Reddish has been arrested. The wounded man Is se riously hurt. At Doctortown, on Monday, Thomas Fronklin, colored, an employee at Major Davi-ndort's saw mill, managed to get three fingci-s caught in the cogs of the tim ber carriage. One finger was mashed off and the others severely injured. He came to Jesup for treatment, bringing with him the amputated finger. William Merritt, a young man who lived at Surrency, Georgia, was found dead in his bed Sunday morning last. Af ter eating a hearty supper Saturday night and conversing a while with the inmates of the house, he retired to bed in apparent good health. On being called to break fast next ^oniing and making no re sponse, a gentleman named Williams en tered tbe room and found him lying in bed face downward. He turned him over and found that life was extinct. The citizens of Cochran are determin ed to have a brass band. L ! ke Congress man Persons, they like brass bands, and they think of buying one. They held a festival the other night and were success ful in obtaining money to meet their im mediate wants. Picnics, ice cream festivals and straw berry suppers are advertised in onr South ern exchanges. Dawsox Journal: Many of our farm ers have com up ai d will soon be plowing i;. Some are planting cotton. From what we can hoar, the wheat crop in Terrell county will. be almost a total failure this year, on account of rust. The Columbus- Times says: It is a well ki.ov. n fact that paper is a most excellent j)i elector against cold, and a recent expe rience had by a gentleman of this city furnishes proof of this. In the gentleman's J -.mien had been transplanted a number 1 of tomato sets. When the late cold snap set in, knowing the tomato to be a very tender plant, he obtained a lot of small cans, such as contain oysters, lobsters, peaches, etc., on the shelves of groceiy stores, and placed them over the plants to save them from the freezing wind. He lacked just one can of having a sufficient number for all the plants, but about this one remaining plant he wrapped a sheet of paper and fastened it to its place. Al ter the cold was over, the cans were re moved, and every plant under them was found to bare been killed, but when the plant protected by the sheet of paper was exposed it stood straight, fresh and green, not having been injured in the least. This experience is worth treasuring in memory by our gardeners. Irwinton Appeal: Rust is reported in almost ah the small grain. Some oats of the rust proof variety, that were sown early in the fall, are now, it is said, red with it. Later sown oats are not affected with it. » . The Albany Does says: The farmers of this section, generally speaking, have purchased enormous quantities of com mercial manures, and have about finished hauling it out. Most of the com planted is now up, and many have plowed it over the first time. Cotton planting is now going on, and the area planted is reported larger than usual. Should a good price be paid for cotton next fall, all will be well; but if the price goes down—look out for trouble. Our planters are all vigor ously at work. Labor Is orderly and sys tematic, and tbe present outlook is not discouraging. Albany News: As Mr. Butler, mer chant of Ty Ty, on tbe Brunswick and Albany Railroad, attempted to leave the train while in rapid motion at Brookfield, he was thrown violently to the ground and narrowly escaped death, a wheel of the rear coach striking him on the shoul der and ditching him. The Albany News says: The season of 1SS0 promises to be one of special interest and profit to wool-growers; and those who have been fortunate enough to make their investments in sheep, rather than stocks and bonds, are masters of the situ ation. The present price of the product in the Albany market averages 40 cents. At this price it is estimated that growers will realize near fifty per cent, on their invest ments, where sheep have been managed economically and judiciously. The coun ties of Worth, Colquitt, Mitchel, Baker, Calhoun, Berrien and Irwin, which are in easjr reach of Albany, promises heavy supplies this year. The mild winter has been especially propitious for their sheep, and Albany should now prepare herself for liberal prices, complete facilities, and general activity in the trade. There is no reason why Albany should not handle the wool productions in eight or ten neighbor ing counties. It should constitute a prominent feature of our city’s commerce. Colonel Jas. G. Cain, a prominent lawyer of Louisville, has been appointed Judge of the county court of Jefferson county, in place of Judge Denny, deceas ed. Three negroes were convicted as the first fruits of his labors. A new Jewish synagogue was recently dedicated in Thomasville with imposing ceremonies. Rabbi Brown officiated. Thomasyille is to have a colored brass band. From their color, it is supposed that the band will be more enduring than white ones. The recent entertainment of the Thom asville Library Association netted some thing over $100. An old woman^on the place of Mr. Thom as Fuller, near Geneva, died last week at the advanced age of 104 years. The Appeal says that on Monday last Mr. Micajah Thompson, a farmer, about seventy-four years old, d !od veiy sudden- wuu->- ~s m a field near 1 ". two I uilesJ#)>v )t nore going to work that morning, and not only seemed m Health then, hut had not had a sick day In several years. A writer in the Irwinton Appeal says that Ben Holder, of Toombsboro, caught two negro girls who had appropriated some of his wife’s clothing, and that he settled with them after a fashion that is more commendable than legal. They both remain in his employ. Declined.—The effusion styIed“Loved and Lost” is respectfully declined, on the ground that it is deficient in merit.—Sum ter Republican. Oh, how could you be so cruel? And this, the first crop of spring poetry. A rose has blushed only to be unseen. The divine afflatus has been crushed out of some heart forever. And for such a cause —“deficient in merit.” What do editors know about merit in spring poetry? .On Tuesday, the 23rd, while J. G, Mil ler and Peter Town were at work on the new residence of Mr. Knox, in Rome, the scaffolding upon which they were stand ing gave way, both men falling. Town fortunately escaped injury, but Miller fell the distance of sixteen feet, striking on his head, part of the scaffolding also fall ing upon him. His injuries are internal, and thought to be fatal. Mb. J. D. Mybick, near Gordon, has a field containing seven acres, and the wheat in it is three feet high. The editor of the Irwinton Appeal is in hopes that the next grand jury oi Wil- kinsou county will recommend the es tablishment of a county court, in accord ance with a law passed by the last Leg islature. His reasons are good. Mb. Henby Jones, late of the North Geoigia Argus, has accepted a position on the editorial staff of the Augusta Evening News. He is a journalist of marked abil ity, and has tact as well as talent in the editorial field. We welcome him back to the tripod, and congratulate the proprie tors on securing his services. In the Geneva department of the Tal- botton Standard, we find the following in reference to a matter which has - caused considerable comment: The grand topic of conversation on the streets as well as by our citizens as those visiting our town, is discussing the merits of the enormus verdict rendered by thejn- ry during our late court, iu the case of W. C. Singleton vs. the Southwestern railroad company, for damages. And va rious are the opinions of those who heard tbe evidence in the case.- Some think he ought to have sued for and obtained at least $50,000; while others think he ought net to have recovered a cent, as he was the cause of his own misfortune. Others think a moderate or reasonable amount would have been better for Single- ton and the company, as well as the pub lic generally, and so think we, after pay ing close attention to the evidence and the trial. No jury would ever have thought of rendering such a verdict against an individual under the same proof. Railroad companies are corpora tions, and have no souls, but nevertheless, they are entitled to the same rights in our courthouses that individuals are. Though it is hard to induce the public to see it in that light. But jurors take the same oaths in these cases that they do in cases between individuals. We think such verdicts under the circumstances are simply ridiculous and ought to be set aside at once, because they arc calculated to do harm instead of good to the pnblic. Ikwinton Appeal: We learn that on Friday last while. Mr. Kilby Jones was passing over that portion of long bridge at Storey's,, which crosses the slough, the bridge gave way and precipitated Mr. J. and' bis horse into the stream below. Neither was hurt, however, though getting out proved somewhat difficult. The bridge had been undermined by the re- centheavy rains, and was floating when Mr. Jones went upon it. The bridge lias not yet been repaired, and neither wagons or carts can cross in its present condition. The Rome Tribune says: “We are pleas ed to learn that in addition to the two large buildings Colonel Shorter proposes to erect for the use of the college, he in tends to build a conservatory and also add a ten pin alley for the use, amusement and exercise of the young ladies attending this excellent institute of learning. The Butler Herald furnishes the fol lowing items: Mr. C. A. J. Pope sent to onr office last week the finest stalk of wheat we have seen or heard of this season, the stalk be ing about waist high and almost in full bloom, while the stalk presented a large and vigorous appearance. The wheat crops generally through the county so far look promising indeed, especially where the land has been well fertilized. It is thought, or rather feared, by many who are competent to judge that the fruit crop in this section will be far less in quantity than that of last year; if so, what is to become of some who depend almost entirely upon the result of the crop? The Rome Courir'^s both jolly and sentimental over the recent freshet: High water seems to have an anti-temper ance effect. The more water in Rome tbe less of it there is drunk. Viewed in the “abstract” the scenefrom the top of Myrtle Hill yesterday was beautiful. Faraway up theOostanaula could be seen the wide stretch of waters where the stream had overflowed the low bottoms. Away to the southwest the Coosa, full and spreading out over its banks, could be seen for miles, within the hills and mountains that mark its course, all bathed in the bright sunlight seemed nearer to us than ever before. The editor of the Warrenton Clipper is happy. Hear him: The arrival of an oigan grinder in our midst Saturday last, with his usual com panion, a monkey, tended considerably to vary the monotony of the day. He field large crowds aronnd him during his stay in our village. Lumpkin Independent has these two items: 4 Peach trees are all in full bloom and the prospect for a good crop is realy flattering. Those who have anticipated a failure may yet be disappointed. Mr. W. A. Long shows us a hunch of wheat from his patch which was covered with rust. He reports thst the wheat generally throughout' the county is In the same condition and the prospect for a good crop is gloomy. . Cabtebsville Free Press: Mqjor Smith returned safely from his trip to Hawkinsville, where he delivered his lecture on “Society." He speaks glowingly of his reception in the wire- grass region. After he gets the grime of travel removed from his pencil we hope lie will write up “nabor Freeman’s” snake story. • Madison Madisonian: Grubb says that Governor Colquitt is not running much down that way. Governor Col quitt is not in the habit of running from his'enemies, albeit they are fed on Inde pendent Grubb. It has been discovered that the climate of California and Northern Georgia and Alabama i3 just suited to the cultivation of the cinchona tree, from which quinine is made, and it is proposed to introduce the cultivation of these trees into this country so as to save the expense it incurs every year in sending to South America for Peruvian bark. This is what the Americus Republican calls mean: We learn that on Thursday night last, some unprincipled scoundrel slipped up to the stable of Jame3 Dodson, Esq., of Smitliv.'lle, and shot a fine mule in the head. This is one ot the meanest acts that we have been called upon to chronicle, and we hope the inhuman wretch who perpetrated the deed **- *" ,. . . ——Since it has caughtand eur planting friends that their crops were not injured by the recent “cold snap,” a beaming face and pleasant smile marks the “gentleman from the country.” The low flat lands below Newton in Baker county and on the Flint, are re ported to be entirely covered with water, and we are glad* to learn that but a small amount of the land alluded to has been planted.' From the Marietta Journal we clip the following sad intelligence: A gentleman from Pickens county, Ga., brings the information of the suicide of Mrs. Serena Lindsey, which occurred in that county on last Monday, 22d instant. She was engaged on that day in her usual domestic duties,as cheerful as usual,appa rently with no disturbing troubles to in cite rashness. Her two children had left the house for out door work,and were ab sent for about one hour, and on returning to the room usually occupied by their mother, was horrified to see her lifeless form dangling by the neck to a rope, fas tened to a joist overhead. Oub community was shocked last Mon day evening at the sad intelligence of the 1 death of Henry M. Wilson, son of Cap tain J. M. Wilson, of this place. It seems that quite a number of young men bad agreed to spend the day fishing and duck hunting, and for that pm pose had repaired to sir. Barnes’ mill pond, two miles from town. Henry was seated on one side of the pond fishing, and some wild ducks came in sight, and Henry’s attention was called to the same. His gun was leaning against a tree, and he reached and caught it by the muzzle and pulled it towards him, and attempted to get up on his feet at the same time. This action caused him to push the gun from him, and as he pulled It forward again, th& hammer came In contact with a bush, the gun fired, and the load of duck shot entered the pit of hi3 stomach, making a hole as laige as a silver dollar. The Savannah News says that the' heavy rains above Augusta and the freshet following combined with the strong north easterly winds upon the big spring tides, gave prospects of a general overflow. At one time early in the morning' the prospects were that Hutchinson’s Xsand would be seriously injured by an over flow, but, fortunately, these apprehensions were not realized. During the morning Mr. C. F. Stubbs, one of the levees of the island, went across to ascertain the con dition of affairs, and, we are informed, found all the damson Back river right and in good order. In anticipation of the high tides, together with the freshet in the Savannah river, he had everything put in thorough order a few days since. It is expected that the. tide this morning will be very high, but unless the easterly winds prevail for several days no'serious results, so far as we can learn, are antici pated. The Henry County Weekly says: It becomes our painful duty to chronicle the death of Sir. Isaac Jenks, an old citizen of Henry county, which occurred on Wednes day mcming last, in the eighty-fourth year of his age v This old man’s life was a remarkable one in some respects. Hei never took a dose of medicine in liis life, nor had a spell of sickness until his last illness. His mental faculties remained unimpaired.up to the day of his death. The Advertiser has this good news for Brunswick: For some months past, efforts have been made to have a United States Marine Hospital located in or near our harbor. It was thought for a long while that tbe north point of Jekyl would be chosen by tbe authorities, but we understand Black- beard Island bas been chosen instead. So all vessels from infected ports will have to touch there, he inspected, fumigated, 1 etc., before coming to this port.

The Darien Gazette says that the meet ing held by the colored people of McIn tosh county on Saturday, the 20th, was not very harmonious, and came very near ending in a row, and it reminded us of the time when Campbellism prevailed. After a good deal of wrangling, Styles W. Hutchins, the colored lawyer from Atlan ta, was elected to represent McIntosh county In the approaching State Republi can Convention, which meets in Atlanta on April 21st. Fbom thi?" Greenville Vindicator we learn that the fly is destroying, the wheat, and the blind staggers killing the horses and the mules, and typhoid fever playing sad havoc among the people. The Quitman Free Press hoists the name of Hon. EL C.

Sanford, of Macon, will, we understand, shortly deliver a lecture here on “The Utilitarian Idea in Education.” It is said to be a veiy fine lecture, and while full of instruction, yet containing enough humor to render it interesting to all class es. We hope as many of the boys that can will attend. The Darien Gazette of the 2Gtb says: “The receipts of timber the past week have been very light owing, no doubt, in a great measure to the high stage of water.

Tax Augusta 'Chronicle gives the follow ing description of a new instrument of tor ture called the “squedunk:” jf.The average small boy is miserable if not progressive. The latest ingenious—in deed horrible—musical invention he has brought to the front is the. “squedunk.” To those acquainted with the symphonies produced by that instrument thus eupho niously termed, it may be said that a “squedunk” is made by putting a string through the botton of a tin can or cup and tyingit on the inside to a nail or piece of wire so as to prevent the cord from com ing oat. By a free use of rosin upon the string, it being applied with one hand while the other Is holding the can or cup, a noise pleasant to the ear of the average boy is produced, but which some people say is hideous. A number of enterprising juveniles have already become accomplish ed in the use of that novel lyre—which maybe ranked among the intolerable modern nuisances, to abate which the un dergrowth of the country might be utilized to advantage. The Greensboro Home Journal says: Our worthy townsman, Mr. M. Markwal- ter, informs us that there is a prospect of acquisitions of German immigrants into this country ere long.

The Grant trium virate in the Senate—Conkling, Carpenter and Cameron, with Logan a3 an acces sory—are the ones who are expected to make the big figbt against the clause in tbe deficiency bill which regulates the ap pointment of special deputies. They will not have much weight with Hayes, who is a Sherman man. The principal reason I have for asserting that Hayes will sign the bill is that in his veto messages of the extra session he repeated time and again that he would find no objection to the ap proval of a bill that would equitably amend the election laws, but could not agree to the nullification or repeal. The leading proposition is to amend fairly the election laws. There is no nullification or repeal. The money is provided for their enforcement, and the laws as amend ed remain on the statute books.

The Oglethorpe Echo has these tfro items: A few years since two men passed through this county in a wagon loaded with switches, and drove a good business in grafting what they claimed to be fine fruit to trees. In due season it was dis covered that they clipped twiggs from one orchard to graft on another, and so far from the fruit being a new variety it was from a neighbor’s orchard. Stock Diseases aro prevailing in our county now. Among horses we hear of distemper and other sickness; cows some thing like the black tongue; hogs are dy ing from no one knows what; dogs have distemper, and poultry cholera and sore head. The diseases are confined to cer tain sections, not being general as yet. Grubb, of the Darien Gazette talks happily: The rice-planters in this section have all got their pants in their boots, and that means strictly business. They have gone to work in dead earnest. It will be’ lively in Darien during court week; the Wallacks will be here, the Brunswick brass band is expected, and a gala time generally is anticipated. Augusta Evening News: A gentleman known as John Wommack, of Doraville, DeKalb county, met with a most violent death on last 'Tuesday. He was coming from the "field, riding sidewise on the mule which he had been plowing; it be came frightened, threw him and ran, dragging him about a quarter of a mile, head downward, and kicking him con stantly. He was terribly bruised and in jured internally, and died in a few hours. He leaves a wife and one child and many friends to mourn his untimely death. A correspondent of the Augusta News writing from Jefferson county, says: The impression prevails generally that the oat crop has rust. 1 have examined carefully and find that such is not true so far as relates to the rust proof variety. The bottom leaves have had a yellow tinge resembling rust (which has nearly disappeared) but it is not rust. We may therefore expect a fine oat crop from the rust proof variety sown during the fall months—September and October. Such, however is not the case with wheat. That has rust beyond all doubt. Coiv thieves are troubling the Griffin- ites, and a farmer wants the people ot that city not to purchase beasts from irre sponsible venders.

The committee reported the following, which were unanimously adopted: Resolved, That the hundred and seven delegates representing the cities of Bruns wick and Macon, Georgia, and the Ma con and Brunswick Railroad, regard the completion of the Cincinnati Southern Railroad as the beginning of a new era for the South aud the West, and the grand achievement by the pluck and enterprise of the merchants of Cincinnati as the no blest effort yet attempted to restore good will, fraternity, and close commercial and social relations between the estranged sec tions, and that we hail the great concep tion and triumpliaut achievements as the harbinger of peace, prosperity, and a glo rious future to the whole country. Resolved, That the unparelUIed hospi tality of the citizens of Cincinnati, the courtesies of the builders and managersof the Southern Railway, the officers and members of the Commercial Exchange, Board of Trade and Transportation, and managers and committees of the reception and the banquet at Music Hall, have placed us under pleasing obligations of grateful remembrance, and that to the en tire people of the Queen City of the West we surrender at discretion, and with hearts full flowing with lofty appreciation and thankful expressions of gratitude. Resolved, That we cordially Invite the great, big-hearted, liberal-minded, enter- nrising business men of Cincinnati, and tbe beautiful women who inspire and adorn their splendid exertions to build a great city, to visit our sunny land and the beautiful city of Brunswick.— Cincinnati Gazette.

Washington, D. C., Jan. 16,-lSSO. H. II. Warner <& Co.—Dear Sir: I write to say that after haring taken your Safe Pills anil finding i them all that is claimed for th ru in your circular, 1 cheer fully recommend them .as the best Pills in -the "market. r Joseph Tkather, 409 M. Street, Washington, D. C. marlG-2w A Word of Warning. All the accounts that reach us from every section of the State tell of prepara tions for a largely increased cotton crop. Never before has the sale of commercial fertilizers been, so laige. The supply of many of the dealers has been, it is said, already exhausted. The'demand for mules and horses has been so brisk aud general that the droversrhave only been able to supply it partially, aud they rep resent the famous blue-grass region of Kentucky as drained of saleable farm an imals. All this is intended as preparation for taking in, fertilizing and cultivating more land to raise more cotton. Should the seasons be propitious* if the present plans be earned out, we may confidently expect a six. or seven million bale cotton crop, and, should this expectation be realized; can any farmer expect to receive next fall more than six or seven cents per pound for his cotton? At all events, can any sane man expect to receive the prices at which cotton i3 now quoted? Last year the prices of every thing that a farmer buys to make hi3 crop were, on an aver age, thirty-three and a third per cent, lower than at present. The price of cot ton averaged, we suppose, eleven cents. The profit, though encouraging, was not large. Among the farming masses are there many who are paying . cash for their fertilizers and other sup plies? Are not by far the greater num ber at tbis moment in debt to their mer chants for the means to make this year’s crop ? If then, with the exceptionally fa vorable circumstances of the past year, little money was made, what can we rationally expect this year, when the price we shall get for our cotton will almost certainly fall, under a largely increased production, and when the cost of every ar ticle that we need, and must have, bas al ready advanced from 25 to 60 per cent. ? We may be asked: “How do yon know that the price of cotton will fall?” We answer, we do not know positively, of course; but we do know that prices of every commodity are regulated by the un varying law of supply and demand, and that whenever the supply of any article exceeds the demand, tbe price of that ar ticle decreases, it may be, far below the cost of production. The political outlook in the Old “World and in our own country, this year, is not so perfectly serene as to encourage speculative industry. If ever there.was a time when it was prudent to keep close to shore and avoid all hazard ous ventureSy this is that time. We have written and spokeD so much on this subject during tbe pastfourteen years, and events have, we are sorry to say, so lamentably fulfifed our worst predictions, we are reluctant to repeat the voice of warning, and urge our friends to greater prudence. But if the present indications pointing to a wide extension of the area allotted to cotton are correct, we cannot refrain, while there is yet time, from urg ing our farmer friends to-look well before they leap and at least to-ask themselves what will be their condition next Christ mas, should the price of cotton fall much below the present quotations*, when they are called on to settle with-their merch ants for the supplies which they purchas ed on credit during the year.- ADORNMENT OF DWELLINGS. There is great room for improvement in the appearance of most of the form houses in our country. It may^fo^fiTo'fonia- “fceauty that there is lit- ff!P®f-noT>cauty iu tho construction, ar rangement or outward appearance of our dwellings. A very little trouble and expense would remedy the defect and add Tery much to the-comfort, enjoyment and content of those who “live in the country.”" A few flowers and shrubs, neat walks,- a grass plot, a tidy fence, and all kept in order, are by no means expensive, and. where they exist they add immensely to “the looks oS things.” To say that “we have Lot time to fool with flowers” is no-excuse in ous day and generation for the untidy, neglected, repulsive appearance of the shelters which we call houses, and; where our wives ani families are compelled to live- One of the reasons why the young men of the present day prefer the cities to the country, and look upon release from the facm, to measure calico in a town or city dry goons store as emancipation, is that the fomily home is unattractive, so destitute of the traces of civilization and refinement, which they see when they go to tow*. However much engrossed we maybe by the worship of king cotton, we cau cer tainty spare the time necessary to lay out and keep in neat condition, a flower yard or lawn in front of our houses,, with a Marshal Niel, or Solfatare, or some other climbing rose or creepers, to beautify the front porch or piazza. IMPORTANT TO EVERY FARMER. Undbr the above heading we find in the last Issue of that excellent publication, the American Agriculturist, the following “settled points in agriculture” : 1. All soils, excepting of course, the virgin ones of the now States, for profita ble culture, must De manured. 2. The larger the crop upon an acre, the cheaper per bushel, ton, etc-., should that crop be raised. 3. In our ordinary farming no farmer makes all the manures that he could prof itably use upon his farm. 4. The main value of manure, (stable or barn yard) depends upon certain constituents, and these may be had in other forms—eg artificial or chemical fertilizers. 5. All soils do not alike need the same fertilizers. G. It is a well established fact that while it will pay the fanner to buy the fertilizer his soil needs, it is a waste of money to buy and apply to his soil con stituents of which it already has enough. THE CLEMENT ATTACHMENT. . We have received several letters asking for advice and information in regard to the Clement Attachment, and requesting a reply through these columns. We have no personal knowledge of the merits or operations of this much talked- of invention. All our information in re gard to it has been derived from the news papers and from the publishsd views of the Commissioner of Agriculture. We would infer from what Colonel Henderson says about it that the Clemeut attachment will giu and spin into yam about 500 pounds of seed cotton per day, and that where a farmer raises bn his own farm or can secure 100 bales in his neighborhood during the year, a good profit to this lim- ited.extent may he realized. Tho cost of the machinery and of the fixtures and necessary appliances, is about $3,000 or $3,500. ' As a distinct industry, apart from planting, we are not inclined, from what we have heard, to believe that it will he very profitable. If an individual’s crop is sufficiently large to employ the at tachment throughout the year, or if a number of individuals - in a neighborhood whose combined crops amount to 100 bales, would club aud use ono to spin theircotton, it would pay a moderate profit; hut where the owner of the machine depends on the purchase of cotton in his neighborhood to employ it, we should not engage in the enterprise,because be mayor may not be able to buy his neighbors’ crops at remunerative prices, and if he be oblig ed to haul the seed cotton from a distance, the increased cost of transportation will manifestly diminish the profit, if indeed, the.enterprise yield any profit. As a co operative Or joiut stock undertaking among a few neighboring farmers, the increased value of their crops spun into yam will pay good interest upon the investment, provided the machine is skilfully managed aud the even spinning of the yarn seemed. We propose, during the coming summer, to visit Westminster and obtain a closer and more intimate knowledge of the at tachment, and then publish, for what it is worth, the information we may gather. to Dr. P., sending him the volume of the Farm and Home containing his article to ask him whether he adhered to his first, estimate, or had seen reason to modify it. I have just received his reply, which 1 hasten, with his permission, to make pub lic, my object being, as all fair-minded readers will readily believe, to state the truth and the whole truth to :he best of my knowledge and belief. My error will be deemed pardonable, I am sure, by the farmer-readers of the Telegraph and Messenger when they know that I was led into it by one who is as generally cau tious and accurate as they know Dr. Pen dleton to be, and they "will certainly par don this one error, as explained by him, in grateful recollection of the valuable services which during many years he has rendered to scientific agriculture by tongue and pen. William M. Browne, Professor of Agriculture, etc. LETTER FROM DB. E. M. PENDLETON. General William M. Broicne—Dear Sir: Your recent favor received, in which you call my attention to an article written for the Farm and Home, some ten years ago, in which I state, in reference to cotton seed, that “as an average we may safely put down 7 per cent, of nitrogen equal to a little more than 8 per cent, of ammo nia.” It is too late now for me to recall the data from which I made such an infer ence. At that time but few analyses had ever been made of cotton seed. I remember now to have seen but two, one from my old tutor, the elder Shepard, and one from Jackson, of Boston. These were publish ed in the old Patent Office Reports, and as they were full of typographical errors, it might have happened thus. Or I wrote the article in question from memory, as I failed to give tho exact analysis, or I might have had in my mind cotton seed cake, which has about tbe percentage of nitrogen here claimed for the seed; -or the chemists from whom I quoted may have analyzed simply the kernel, which consti tutes jost half of the seed. At any rate, the statement is an error, and is correct ed in my Scientific Agriculture, page 364, where the average analysis of cotton seed, embracing tbe hull and kernel, made by reliable chemists, is put down at 3.10 of nitrogen equal to 3.76 of ammonia. Hoping that this explanation'will be satisfactory, I remain, truly yours, E. M. Pendleton. p. S.—I returnyou tbe Farm and Home by to-day’s mail, for which -I ain much obliged. THE WESTERN WELCOME. Along Lake Michigan and in the SinfoTCity—Louiwlle and Nash- ville—Homeward Bound. On the Road, Marsh 25tb, 1SS0. Leaving Cincinnati wits its smoke, its magnificent architectural beawties, its man ufactories and above all, its throbbing heart of hospitality, I took shipping for the sinful city of Chicago. The generous extension «f courtesies by the Cincinnati, Hamilton and Dayton railroad, was a graceful act ana one which found its way directly mt»the hearts of the excursionists. A large number availed themseloes of the courtesy and many were the blue ribbon badges which floated in the Chicagoan breezes from) Saturday morning until Tuesday night- Chicago is called tl>“~“- ful 5*^1 exactly"good authority on this point, as our stay did not permit our party to see its gas-light life.

He is decided, ly of the opinion from a visit to the East that John Sherman, If not nond nated by his party, will kick out of traces if the slightest showing is given and run independent. Pan Handle is a rert shrewd observer besides being a genial gentleman. He does not, I find by con versations with prominent men in the cities I have visited, staud alone in his opinion. The Grant boom is not strong in the West and needs a porous plaster along its spine. From what was expressed to us, it seemed as if Grant would be tol erated not sought after as a candidate. Blaine has a following. It is rather though among the younger men who do- light in styling him “the plumed Knight.” But I am drifting away from the excur sion into politics. Louisville won the hearts of all who stopped there. Nashville, where seven or eight of the devoted Macon band baited in their South ern journeying, impressed them with it* thrift, extent, and pretty and piquant ladies. There are more dark-eyed hand some ladies to the square inch iu Ten nessee’s capital than any other placs I know of, though the handsomest young la dy seen on the trip calls Covington, Ken- tucky, her home. Nashville is all agog with preparations for the celebration of her Centennial which begins on the 24th of April. A large exposition hall is being constructed, and a grand time is stoskipated. While in Nash Tiiie, I exiled at the Ward Seminar} - on a fafrivjcwecutive of Ma con, who has won icany friends in that city. Vanderbilt University also num bers among its students, one from your midst. I had the pleasure of meeting in thecity Mr. S. A. Cunningham, late of Carters- ville, and where he still has important journalistic interests. He is engaged in Nashville on the Dixie Farmer, formerly the Planter and Grange, ot Atlanta, now published in Nashville, with branch offi ces in Atlanta and Montgomery. Hei* snaking it a great success, and no man more deserves prosperity. Time, however, has come when the fact is homeward turned at last, and the excur sion and its memories are becoming dia monds of the past. It has been a grand success throughout. The management could not have been better, and we sin cerely trust it may inaugurate a new era of business intercourse between the sections,which will result to the - material prosperity of both. May the products of the West, find their outlet over our Southern roadat© the ocean, and may wealth come to both sections of a harmonized country. One thing is certain, along tho steel thread© which lace tiie West and- South together, the products of the great States along the lakes and the Upper Mississippi will come booming down "to Georgia’s cities and Georci a’s- s*npo rts.

Amount of Nitrogen in Cotton Seed. My recent statement as to the amount of nitrogen in cotton seed, made on the faith of an estimate published in the Southern Farm and Home, by Dr. E. if. Pendleton, being, as pointed out by Dr. Jones, at variance with the analy sis of excursionists conferred on their wearers special privileges*. To none were the Southerners more-indebted than the well known pork-packers, the Armours. Thei» immense establishment was visited by large parties, on several occasions in cars, chartered by the Armours, and on their arrival at their establishment found boun tiful refreshments aw airing them. Chicago, architecturally, is one of the most beautiful cities- in the world. The houses present a more imposing appear ance, the streets are busier, the street cars move more rapidly, are more numer ous, and altogether business is transacted with more of a rush- than in Cincinnati. Among Chicago’s distinguishing points are her elegant boulevards or drives. They are broad roadways constructed on the McAdam or Talford principle, and Thei Nenro in Kansas. / We shall soon have the opportunity tw see if the tide of negro - immigration iio^t pouring into Kansas will have the effect to check the settlement of white peoplei in that State, and so divert the stream.jof Eastern State arid European emigrants into Nebraska* Minnesota and even Dako ta. This was-the apprehension expressed by leading Republican politicians to our ! special correspondent last spring, and it must be borne in mind that there are many old-time abolitionists in Kansas who are outspokenly opposed to the oon- •aersion of theState into a colored colony. It is officially stated that already there are -25,000■ colored people in Kansas,.and Governor St- John anticipates that this large-number will be increased to 100,000 before- the summer is ended. He would- like to see other States take a share in the settle ment of these black emigres^, and sayadliat Kansas cannot care for sa-aiauy. Experience has reversed Governor St. John’s-opinion of the desirability ofthrow- ing open “the gates of Kansas to tha-color- ed people of the South.” His “open door' 1 policy has not been approved by his own * party as a whole, and a continuance of this, enormous inflow of negroes would be likely to cause a rupture in the Republi can) organization in the State. Southern Illinois, that section known as “Egypt,” has-been suggested as a suitable place for tbe-settleinent of the emigrating blacks, who are coming North at the rate of 300 pe* week. An effort is making in Chica go to form a State Association for the pur pose of colonizing the “exodusters” in tha southern part of the State. Despite all the aid extended by the philanthropic peo ple of the East, there has bean a deal of suffering from cold and hunger among the recently arrived negroes.in Kansas.— [Boston Herald. The Cincinnati Banquet—An Inci dent. An incident occurred at the grand ban quet at Cincinnati last week, which crea ted considerable amusement, and to none more than to the distingnshed Georgian who was so unceremoniously squelched. A printed programme, giving the toasts and the names of those who were to re spond to each, was printed on the back of the elegant bill of fare, and in order that the banquet should bo closed in due form the committee had arranged that when the last toast had been responded to the great organ should play the doxology, and keep on playing it until the crowd had left the hall, and thus prevent any volun- teer'toists or responses. The last senti ment was, “the Southern connections of the Cincinnati Southern Railway.” Dr. H. V. Af- Miller, of Atlanta, the “Demos- mosthenes of the mountains,”a gentle man well known to many in Savannah, was announced to make the response. The doctor proceeded to make one of hi* characteristic able speeches, but happen ing to make a long pause at the close of one of his well rounded sentences, the or- gauist thought he had closed his remarks, and the organ sounded forth the doxology- This ended the speech; the doctor turned around, took a look at tho mammoth in strument, bowed politely to his audience, and the speaking at that banquet was brought to a close. Nobody enjoyed the faux pas of the organist more than Dr- Miller, as it was nearly 2 a. m., and two late, as he said, to make speeches. No Time for Street Gossip-—A correspondent pf the London Daily Ae»f* has the following: Not a year ago, and the Emperor was the father of his people, driving along iu * single sledge or droschky just like any other person, taking his chance of even * tumble over the tramway rails, and no* only happy but safe in the midst ofW* ■ subjects. How the picture has changed. Not many days ago X was pushed rudelj on one side to make room for a crowd of cavalry, who came rushing by at more than the pace of tho wind, and in the cen tre of which rides the Czar at a gallop The streets are slippciy with partly melt ed ice and snow, the crowds and tho vehi- are frequently crowded with vehicles from one end to the other. Chicago pays great attention to her roadways. The streets are paved with the Nicholson blocks* which are much better for the horses-which travel over them than broken stone. Lincoln Park is ona- of the places of re creation. It lies to the- northward of the city, along the shone of the beautiful Lake Michigan. It ia-laid off with all the skill that landscape gardening can com mand, and taste is evident everywhere. There is a conspicuous absence of forest trees, and the shrubbery as yet is small and somewhat sparse. Along the lake shore is constructed a levee which holds back the waves of the tireless inland sea. On the shore are countless pebbles of va rious hues aud size peculiar to this re gion. Some of the more romantic of the excursionists selected a few of these peb bles and brought them borne as souvenirs. The Lake stretches-beautifully away from the busy mart, presenting a broad aud open highway oven which flit tho white wings of many ships bringing from the further region of the North quantities of coal* iron and copper ore, besides the agricultural and natural prod ucts of the northward country. One iron company employ three steamers, which ply between Chicago and .the iron regions; along the shoves, of Lake Superior, year in and year out- The scene presented from the shore, to those who admire water scenery, is sur passingly beautiful. The bright green water along the-shore, with their small white waves dashing their white fore heads against the beach, grows darker in its sheen, and again becomes lighter and lighter, blending from emerald into more cerulean tints, until the line where the water meets the sky is almost indistin guishable. Two and a half miles out is the “crib,” from which point the city draws her supply of water along immense mains laid on the bottom of the lake. Chicago river, which divides the city, is itself a busy place, and with its many crafts, its low lying banks, overlooking lofty walls, made one almost think for the instant that he was - ih the fair Queen Bride of the Sea. Thecity is recovering from the great fire. The burnt spots are being built up in princely style, and only here and there are the charred ruins of homes, where the remorseless fire fiend put in its work. One noticeable thing, however, and one which is not seen in Cincinnati, is the laige num ber of places and lots for sale. They go rather to prove the charge that the city does business on borrowed capital, and that things aro not on too solid a basis. But we must leave the city of pricely stores and palatial residences for the return to the Southland. From Cincinnati the Lou isville, Cincinnati and Lexington Short Line and tho Louisville and Nashville road extended an invitation to the excur sionists to use their lines, aud the majori- ity returned by that route. One of the Georgians had a little ad venture on the Louisville, Cincinnati and Lexington Short Line, aud met with the first aud only discourtesy which we heard of on the entire trip at the hands of a beef- eating conductor by the name of B. Car- roll. At one of the stations a colored wo man hoarded the train, came into the first class coach and seated herself in the scat of the Georgian which he had left an instant before to speak with a friend, but which still contained his satchell, overcoat, and other luggage. On his return lie found tho darkey in possession. It is rather re pugnant to the average Georgian to so di- [ rectly. assist in the carrying out cf the j civil rights act, as to voluntarily seat him self by a darkey in a train, even if the dar key is in his seat, and I tion of the conductor to ! clcs make the road difficult of rapid tran- calied the atten- : sit, and yet or, rushes the corioge, for ' L J lC what had trans- 1 great White Czar must not be seen for pired, very jwlitely requesting him to’pro- j more than ail instant lest lie should - W vide a seat for the new comer, lie was , killed.
