cost of producing cotton in Hancock county.
The first was $11.41) to the hundred pounds of

agraph recommending this method of pnttiug up

away in common stone jars—first a layer of corn
an inch thick—then salt enough to c over it, and
so on till the jar is filled. J. pickle will soon rise
and the corn must be kept beneath the Burfaoe,
by a board and weight. The jar must be covered
with doth or paper tied over the month. When
used, the com must first bs dropped in boiling
water, so as to render its milk insoluble. It
may then be soaked until sufficiently freshened.
The writer says he has eai;on green com pre

Devout Bismarck.—In a recent discussion in
the North German Parliament, Prince Bismarck
took occasion, in dilating upon the “truly
of Providence was vuu/u .. „ *au> m
P'-ris.’’ It is singular, observes the New York
Commercial Advertiser, hovr palpable the hand
of providence is always observed in the misfor
tunes of our enemies. If the war had termin
ated differently, had the clo 36 of it found the
French in Berlin, instead of the Germans in
Paris—it is very doubtful whether Bismarok
would have been so ready to recognize the same
agency. People can afford to be very pious
few days afterwards Mrs. T. and son signed
a per and received from Brock $1000 in mo-
i: and two notes signed by Blodgett as Super-
int< ndent, each for $1250—Brook stating that
b>; tad received his 15 per cent, on the $5000
o.r med, which any schoolboy knows amounted
t. ust $1500. Mrs. T. set about realizing on
the notes, bnt before she fingered the cash she
had to pay her attorney (Mr. Mynatt) $250 for
col acting them, besides having to submit to a
bank shave of $100 on one, and $250 on the
other. When Mrs. T. got through the business
she sat down and did some figuring on her own
acc rant, and the resnlt stood as follows: She
ha< signed a receipt to Blodgett for $5000, but
| Br, ck’s 15 per cent. ($1500) on that amount,
t am the $C00 paid to Mynatt and the banks had
male a $2100 hole in that plnmp sum, and she
cii covered that she had landed only $2900 nett.
This was not at all to her liking, and so she

it paper, to which we are indebted for these
fac ts, concludes an article on the subject as
follows:
Che remarkable feature in this case, however,
!hat Senator Brock was the Chairman of the
j: ilroad Investigating Legislative Committee
that was appointed to examine into Blodgett’i
Suite Road management, and he reported that
that management was all right. Mr. Brock's
a- :ess to the Superintendent and his opportu
nities for settling railroad cases are a very fit
ting adjunct to that fifteen per cent, matter.
The conjunction of the two is highly signifi
cant.
Of Brock’s qualifications as a legislator we are
not informed, bnt there certainly can be no
question as to his eminent ability as a computer
of interest. If any banker or broker is in want
of a “lightning calculator” just now, we do not
see how they could do better than to engage
Brock’s services.

To carry it out the academy should be moved
down to the Mississippi canebrake country and

1 tecent reports from several sections of Geor
gia confirm the previous reports of the discour-

continued rains have rendered the cotton so
ssy that it will be almost impossible to rescue
it. To increase the discomfiture of the plan-
tc-ra, most of them are short of hands, many of
ri. colored people having gone off to gather
bis. kberries. The alarming condition of the

The editor of the Savannah Republican speaks
for two in the following paragraph:
Very Well as ear as it Goes.—It is a grati
fying evidence of Christian love for the ministry
to see the chnrches of several cities of Georgia
providing their pastors with horses and vehicles,
for their personal comfort, and to enable them
to perform their outdoor religious duties with
farless labor and inconvenience. These are
worthy tokens, and the example cannot be too
generally followed. But we would suggest to
our friends of the church who make these dona
tions, that their liberality requires that they
should not be made in a manner to entail ex
pense on the donees. They should be sure that
the pastor is able to feed his horse—no small
item in a city—before one is given to him, or
else the proeendcr should invariably go along
with the horse. It is not yet too late for the
adoption of this suggestion in all cases where
ministers are allowed moderate salaries. Those
church members who contribute nothing to buy
the horse, should be called on for a purse to
feed him.

Savannah cotton receipts last season foot np
710,977 bales, an increase of 235,135 bales over
the receipts of ’69 and ’70. She now stands next
to New Orleans.
The Savannah Republican very justly and
forcibly condemns the praotice of petitioning
for pardons for criminals who have been fairly
and legally convicted of crime. It scores Bol
lock for his shameful abuse of the pardoning
power, and then goes on to say:
But Bollock is not alone responsible. The
people have their share of guilt in this unthink
ing war upon society. Men generally have a
weakness on the subject of petitions for par
don. They allow the promptings of mercy to
overrule the stem demands of justice, and sign
all that are presented to them, little thinking
what a wound they are inflicting upon tbe com
munity in which they live, and whose safety and
good order should bo tho objects of their high
est consideration. Even juries, after condemn
ing a man to death a3 his just desert, not nnfre-
quently come forward and affix their names to
petitions to turn loose again the blood-thirsty
victims of the law upon the public. This is all
wrong, and we most stop it or consent to set
aside all law, or make every man the avenger of
his own wrongs.

Crops lirTelfnlr and Dodge Counties

Editors Telegraph and Messenger .-—As the

give you the dots, which you may publish if
you see proper:
We are having rain in great abundance. Com
croos are looking fine on uplands, where they
have been properly cultivated. Cotton is ex
ceedingly backward, and generally badly in the
grass.
A word to the farmers: Sheep raising in con
nection with the raising of cotton. A farmer
in the vicinity of No. 12, M. and B. R. R.,
whose cotton farm was considered almost mined
by grass, turned some two or three hundred
sheep into his fields, and, strange to say, they
were not injuring the cotton by trampling on it,
but were nipping the grass olosely to it, and had
not been known to even taste of the cotton. I
was an eye-witness to the scene on the 26th, and
they were doing wonderful work in the destruc
tion of grass. I think it advisable for the farm
ers in the sheep-raising seotions to try sheep.
They will not only be beneficial for their wool
and mntton, bnt will do great good on the oot-
ton farms in wet seasons.
The fruit crop is almost an entire failure.
One month ago we had the promise of an abun

Memphis, June 28.—The Appeal’s special
from Oxford, Mississippi, to-day, referring to a
difficulty that occnrred in the Federal Court on
Monday, says: “The Radical account of the

false. Cok Lamar asked the Judge of the
United S cates District Court to put a man, who
was a witness for tho United States in a Ku-
klux case, under bond to keep the peace, upon
the ground that he was threatening peaceable
citizens. While Colonel Lamar was stating the
facts to the Court the man arose and advanced
toward him in a threatening manner, with one
hand tinder his coat as if to draw a pistol. Cok
Lamar asked the Court to require the man to
take his seat until he finished his remarks.
Withont waiting for interference on the part of
the Court the man continued to advance.
Colonel L. drew a chair upon him. The man
then fell back and took his seat, Great excite
