The BMllutre i'urta and W«i. c
For July was laid on our table yesterday. Farm
work for the month ooBtains two pages of indi.

tradfe.-. Trefoil contributes an article upon

ditching bottoh land. Homospnn discourses
upon upland rice, a product which ought to re-
oeive a good deal more attention. Prof. Leroy
Broun has s very elaborate and well considered
paper en the proposed Agricultural College in
Georgia. Dairy Farming, is an editorial upon
oows and clover growing, in which it is tinted

That humorous poetaster, 5. L , whs wrote
about the ■"»* “which he lived in Jones,” has
another ditty about Jones, showing the unhappy
result of preaching in favor of growing your

Iffore Railroad Strategy—Sale of lire
Montgomery and Egranla Railroad.
We find the following in the Montgomery
Advertiser, of Thursday:
Mohtoomeby and EutaulaBoad.—At the an
nual meeting of the stockholders of the, *>bove
named road, held at noon yesterday in this city,
the stock owned by Enfania, Union Springs and
Montgomery was represented respectively by
tbc Mayors of the cities .named and other gen
tlemen, whose names we have not on hand.
The rest of the stock was largely represented
by delegates from the country all along tlie line
of the road. The chief business of the meeting
was to consider And act upon tbc contraot lately
entered into in New York by Col. Lewis Owen
for the company, and Maseru. Opdyke A Hazel-
—a «tlwr r‘
New York, the Ium ot which -were substan
tially as follows:
1. The Company assigns to Messrs. Opdyke
& Co., parties of the second part, all the assets
and a majority of the stock of the road (abont
$5T>0,000 worth) without reserve.
" Messrs. Opdyke & Co. agree to furnish
$680,000 .in cash, which snm ic is thought will
l>a amply sufficient to pay off all outstanding
liabilities and complete tlie road to Enfanla.
On motion of Captain Fowler, ably seconded
and supported by J. W. Ik Daniel, and one of
the Directors, this contraot was unanimously
ratified
Although not stated in so many words in the
above article, it is understood that the sale is
v-irtnally to the Macon and Brunswiek Railroad
'—Mr. Opdyke being one of the largest New
York stockholders In that road, and Mr. Hazio-
nursi its President. If we ere not mistaken,
the road from Montgomery to Eulanla is well on
the way to completion, there being only nine
teen miles to finish. With a western connec
tion via Montgomery and the North and South
Boad, direct to Louisville, much of the South
western Georgia provision business non done
over the Western and Atlantic and Macon and
Western Boads, will very possibly be diverted
to the former route—provided, of coons, the
Maoon and Brunswick Boad secures a connec
tion from Eufanla with some point on that road.
A friend at our elbow suggest? Hawkinsville, as
there was a charter—with State aid—granted at
the last session of the Legislature for «> road
from Hawkinsville to Ectfanla.

ho instruction of ne
groes! makes a very eulogistic report bn the pro- j
grass of the pupils. They r.iy:
At every step of the examination we werfe im
pressed with the fallacy of the popular idea
(wnich, in common with thousands of others,
majority of the undersigned have heretofore
entertained) that the members of the African
race are not capable of a high grade of intelleo-
toal culture. The rigid tests to which the classes
in Algebra and Geometry, and in Latin and
Greek'were subjected, unequivocally demon
strated that under judicious training, and with
persevering study, there are many members of
the African raoe who can attain a high grade of
intellectual culture. They proved that they can
master intricate problems in mathematics, and
fully comprehend the construction of difficult
passages in the classics.
Many of the pupils exhibited a degree of
mental culture which; considering the length of
time their minds have been in training, would
do credit to members of any race.
The chairman of this committee was ex-Gov.
Brown and Messrs. W. A. Hemphill, Wn. L.
Scruggs and J. I. Whittaker were among its
members.
We are wedded to no particular theory about
Africa mis. We would not give the value of a
brass button to prove to the satisfaction of
mankind that the negro is at least twenty de
scants nearer that Simian origin to which D“-
win eventually traces the entire human t^ce.
Bat this much may well be said: The Atlanta
University is by no means the first attempt
which has been made on this planet to indoc
trinate the African in philosophy and letters.
On the contrary, if we accept the Mosaic record
or choose the almost illimitable chronology of
the Egyptians, that experiment baa been prose
cuted with more or less diligence many thou
sands of years, without material remit.
Under these cireams! ancon the committee

negro man, whom we have long known and re

memorial to Congress, to be signed only by
colored men. asking that Conpf«. — v admit

cotton that may be imported for actual use into
the State of South Carolina during-the next two
years.” To onr. questions: why do yon .wish
this done ? of what benefit will cheap ootton
machinery by to yon? he replied: “Some of
us believe that the best method of elevating our
raoe is by educating our females as artisans,
withdrawing them from the cotton field and the
menial duties of life. We can furnish cheaper
labor than, the white labor of Massachusetts, and
yon Georgia people have shown ns that manu
facturing cotton payB better than anything else.
We are told that English machinery, imported
duty free, costs less than one-half the price of
that made in this country, and are promised that
if «n can get the machinery duty free, ample
capital will be loaned ns on mortgage to build

A NICE RECORD..
Ml Abont dnmnel Hnat, the Lately Ap
pointed Revenne Collector for the 2d
(Naeoo) District of Georgia.
We dip the following from it Washington
letter published- in the Baltimore Gazette, of
Wednesday:
Some time ago J. S. Bigby, member of Con
gress from Georgia, had one Samnel Hast ap
pointed Collector of the Second Georgia Bev-
enne District From information subsequently
received at the Revenue Bureau, it was suspect
ed Hunt was not all right, end upon investiga
tion it turns out that he was indicted some time
ago, In Tennessee, for illicit distilling. Inquiry
was made of Senator Brownlow, who replied
that Hunt was his (Brownlow’s) nephew, “but,”
said the Senator, “I have no confidence in him.
He was, to all intents and purposes, guilty of
the charges preferred against him Jn this State,
and I was greatly surprised at learning-of his
appointment os Collector.”
The correspondent adds, that Hnnt has not
yet filed his bond and will not be appointed.
The question now comes np: What moved Big
by to go outside of Georgia to make snoh an
appointment ? Was there no material better
than this in the district ? And if .-not, what fact
does it illustrate ? We maintain, though, that
it will be hard lines for Hunt to miss his ap
pointment on such trivial grounds as those al
leged. Up where he lives, the loil don't do
mnch else but manufacture illicit whisky and
whip Southern Methodist preachers.

BdUor Constitution: As there is some ex

of Colonel Foster Blodgett, late Sup.ti-,snd-
ent of the Western and Atlantio Bailr -*, and
V. A. Gas kill, Esq., touching a claim! held
against said railroad, I have thought it ny du
ty to give the facts in the case to the prllio.
The nature and amount of this claia. is cor
rectly stated in an account made by Ooonel A.
B. Cuiber . -n, my attorney in the case, aid pub
lished by Colonel Blodgett in. his oari of the
24thinstant, amounting to $10,848 06. 1 agreed
to settle the claim on the basis of the asnai loss
sustained, with interest. Mr. Oulber.on and
myself examined the amonnt of ootton destroy
ed, and the damages otherwise sustained, and
found that they amounted to the aboVJ amount,
viz: $10,848,06, including interest. r«*» ihii
am rant I agreed to take Foster Bloigett’s Su
perintendent note at SO days for $7J00 which
was dated, I think, on the 7th of November,
1870, and was pe-i tome by Mr. 3-askiu in
his check on J. H. James, on ths r.h of Jan
uary last. This note for $7,000 is fell the note
I ever saw or heard of until I was tmunnoned
to the grand jury room to testify in the case;
then, instead of *the $7,000 nste, I*ar for
$15,548 06 signed by Foster Blodgatt, Superin
tendent, payable to me or bearer. This note
seems to be found on an account, made cat
thus: *.
For damages for loss of Cotton and
for delays and injuries $10,848 06
On oecauut of foiling to deliver. 4,700 00
The last item of this account I deny having
any hand in adding, and I am satisfied Mr.
Culberson is equally clear of it As regards Mr.
Gaakill be.riT my attorney, I never considered
him as sue!;, 'if so, why the necessity of giving
him u special power to sign my name to a receipt
to obtain a warrant found 'd on a note held by
me on Foster Blodgett, Superintendent, given
me in settlement of my claim against the Wes
tern and Atlantio Bailroad.
In regard to my promising Mr. Gaskili ail he
could get ont of the claim over $7,000,1 may
or may not have done so. My memory in that
particular does not serve me; bnt if I did, why
did not Mr. Gaskili inform me whathe d>d goi ?
Instead of doing so, be has kept me entirely in
ignorance. So far as my knowledge went 1
nevor knew ho had received one oent above the
$7,000 he paid me on ths 5th of January last.

said by those who know.)
Mr. H. McNeil, of Pennsylvania, has bought
the Bartow Iron Works, situated on the State
Boad, a few miles below Otrtersville, and will
commence work as soon as possible.
Camebon.—The Herald says Simon has been
the administration candidate for Vice President
ever since Grant and he went a fishing together.
They did not catch catfish for nothing. Came
ron, of course, looks for a very enthnsiastio
support from Charles Sumner and his friends,
and whatever he lacks there Morton and Butler
will make up. Cameron will fly the banner of
political and financial integrity- ana my, re
form, no trickery and can cussing to politii
no bribery to elections. He is now haring these
sterling pri neiplea emblazoned to red ink on his
shirt tail, showing that they are principally for
the benefit of other people.
Changes rs HasvaudUstveusity.—The World
of Tuesday Bays that a “new departure” has
been taken by Harvard University. Increased
prominence is hereafter to be given to scien
tific studies; to certain departments women are
to be admitted to an equality with men; new
buildings arc to be erected, and tuition in to be
absolutely free.
PublioDetaultees.—Grant was kind enough,
says the World, to inform a Herald correspon
dent at Long Branch that in December next he
should recommend the “taking off” of “forty
more millions of taxes.” This is ccns'dorably
less than half the amount of the taxes which
havo “been taken off” by the defalcations of
government officials since 'Grant came into
power. The amonnt is openly stated at Wash
ington to reach the snm of at least “one hun
dred millions of dollars.”

THE WIKSHIP COTTON GIN.
Ahead of All Competition.
AWARDED TWO FIRST PREMIUMS AT STATE
FAIRS IN 1870.
A T a teat of nine of the leading Gins of this
county, exhibited at the Ootton States Me
chanics’ and Agricultural Fair Association, held to
Augusta, to 1870, the trial resisted as follows:
Pounds
ootton. Time.
Winn’s Gin ...45 saws. 135 13:30 m
OarverGin..;;;.....‘.'...:.50saws. ISO 12:20m

Hall’s Gin ana Feeder 50 saws. 160 8.40 m
Ths Gins were ail run by a steam engine, and at
high speed. The Oommittee on Machinery had the
cotton weighed np for each Gin according to size,
all out of the same ootton, three pounds for each
saw. These Gins are all made alike, tor service and
durability—pot up to good style in a substantial
and workmanlike manner,under the personal super
vision of Mr. JOHN WINSHIP, .a first-class ma
chinist of more than twenty years’ practical experi
ence—giving his exclusive attention to the manu
facture and improvement of Cotton Gina. Those
wanting Gins can find them with numbers of testi
monials as to fast work—picking seeds clean, and
leaving lint in good condition, making it sample
well. 40, 45, 60 and 60 saws kept constantly to
stock. Price, $4 per saw.
