The first was $11.41) to the hundred pounds of lint—the second $10.90 and the third $12.li the average of the whole wf .s 11 7-l(i per pound, at the gin-house. We see in the Cultivator a par agraph recommending this method of pnttiug up green com: (Shave it from the cob and pack it 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 served in this way for four years, which could not bo distinguished by flavor from fresh oorn. 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 < .eluded to give the public the benefit of her <:: coveries, and the Constitution prints them. 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. Marti Licks at West Point. A World correspondent narrates the sorrows of Cadet Wilson—an inoffensive youth—the son of a revolutionary officer—who fell a victim to the superior muscle of Cadet Smith, of Afrioan when they wish. Bismarck would seem to have scent. This shows the importance of a new taken a leaf out of the book of his master, “Pious Bill,’' an the London satirist irrever ently call him. Chancellor Lipscomb’s Letter To the Alumni of the University, which we print this morning, will prove a most potent re inforcement to the policy of Alumni organiza tion, which is now being inaugurated through out the State. It ie an earnest, eloquent appeal from a man whose opportunities for knowing the Immense advantages to result to the Uni. versity and the cause of education in the State, from such organization, are supplemented by a zeal, and energy, an ardent desire to do good in those directions, only branded by physical ability to sustain him in the noble work. We need do no more than simply call attention to It. It commends itself by the resistless force of fact and argument, illuminated by a grace of diction and eloquenoe of expression, all the writer's own. “Ip there is any one thing we glory in,” says the gushing blockhead of "he Buffalo Express, in an attaok upon Kentuckians, “it is the title of American citizen, the highest honor that mortal man can claim on this earth.” It is cer tainly a proud thing to be an American citizen, and especially an American citizen of African desoent; but for our single selves, if we can live to see our names onrq’led as members of the Bare-Legged andDoublj-Bceasted Base Ball Club, we shall then feel that we have the entire ladder of fame under us.—Courier-Journal.

Jackson.” system of training for the military academy. To carry it out the academy should be moved down to the Mississippi canebrake country and the cadets permitted to acquire brawn and mus cle by the judicious use of the hoe in the cotton or cane fields. With four years of constant prac tice, the whites may be able to stand their hands with the negro cadets, so os not to be knocked down so often and ignominiously. So ong as we are running on the principle of mix ing colors, the mixture should be equal—“ ’alf .nd ’alf”—according to cockney rule. The ex- : ruinations should be a general mill—Africa '.gainst America—which should limited to fist and skulk (However, we are not so confident on the sknll question). But of one thing we are oi rtain: they ought to stop so mnch lying. The witite boys themselves say since the niggers were introduced they have ail got such a habit o lying that it sprains their tongues to speak the truth. This should be discontinued.

Vlahmino Condition op the Cotton Cbop. — The Herald’s Washington specials, of the 27th ult., have the following 1 tecent reports from several sections of Geor gia confirm the previous reports of the discour- s )g condition of the cotton crops. The long 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 cor on crops has caused the com to be neg lect od. A similar statd of things is represented to«xist in all the Gulf States that have lately bee i visited by heavy rains. joring the week just passed there have b6en It should have read Judge James Jackson, of j three or four good hot, grass-killing days, and this eity, and wae so corrected in the menu- ! we relieve there has been a general and mate- script: but the printer win) sot it up thought ria. improvement in the condition of the grow- be knew better than we did, and so reiterated tbo mistake of our correspondent. ing cotton crop of Georgia. Henry W. Champion, a worthy citizen of Greene county, died very suddenly of heart dis ease, last Sunday. The Greensboro Herald, of Friday, says: Fisk Cloves and Grass.—Dr. T. P. Janea has left at this office, a fine sample of his clo- ver and grass crop the present year. He has been growing clover and grass for the last four or five years, each year to an increased advan tage, yielding upon an average of about one hundred dollars per acre. He has an area of thirty aores planted, including three kinds of grass, which will, at the lowest calculation, pay from $75 to $100 per acre. The Augusta Factory, and the Graniteville Company’s drills are now quoted in the Augus ta market at 13 cents. The Rev. Maurice Treichenberg has been unanimously elected pastor of the Hebrew church, at Augusta. Richmond oounty received its share—$2,000 —of the Peabody Sehool Fund, on Thursday. In his charge to the grand jury of Richmond county, on Thursday, Judge Gibson recom mended the building of a new Court-house and jaik Wateiman, of the Houston Home Journal after playing Bonlly at an agricultural dinner down there, last week, exclaims: “If this be agriculture, make us a farmer.” P. S.—We hear that the young lady who sent him the peaches doesn't live in town. Says the Home-Journal: A Curiosity.—Cob S. D. Killen has shown ns a double ear of com, growing in one shuck, which he raised. It was planted about March 20, and came up about April 1st. On this stem are two ears, large, distinct and well developed, having thirty rows of grains averaging forty grains each, making 1,200 in alk Col. K. thinks he has a good deal more of the same sort. Henry Evans took a pop at Berry Smith, at Columbus, Friday night, with a pistol, bnt it wasn’t a sure pop and there was no funeral. The City Council of Columbus have just bor rowed $15,000 from the Chattahucchee National Bank, of that eity, at ten per cent, per annum. 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. Mr. Charles Womer, of (Savannah, is out in a card in the Savannah Republican offering a reward of one thousand dollars to anybody who will prove that he was ever married to a Mrs. Martha Schleicher. We know a place where, lor half that amount that, or anything 6lse will be proven—if hard swearing will do it —so xuick it will make his head swim. Ad dress K. K. Com., Washington, D. O. 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. Covington is developing its internal resonrees with Tillotson peaches at one dollar a bushek Bnt as the editor of the Examiner, from which paper we learn this faot, says he hasn’t seen a quarter in circulation for a week, we are forced to conclude that the man who raises them isn’t realizing much cash iu his business. Colonel P. W. Alexander, of Columbus, who has been extremely ill for several weeks, has recovered sufficiently to appear upon the streets again. Chas. Hughes, a well known boot maker of Atlanta, formely of Athens, died very suddenly of cholera morbus, Friday night. Judge Lochrane gave an elegant dinner at the Kimball House, Atlanta, on Friday, in honor of Jndge Woods, of the UnitedStates Court—so the Atlanta papers of yesterday, inform us. The Atlanta Era turned np missing, again, yesterday. Three young ladies of La Grange took a “new departure,” at a concert, in that place, last week, “by skillfully performing on the violin. ,T Atlanta says she is worth $12,730,000 in real estate. The expenses of running the municipal machine for the quarter just ended was jnst $8,039 87. The W^trenton Clipper says nineteen cents is rapidly knocking the grass out of the cotton fields in that section. Crops lirTelfnlr and Dodge Counties —Sheep in the Cotton Fields. Chancery, Ga., Jane 29tb, 1871. Editors Telegraph and Messenger .-—As the present crop) in these counties have not been represented this Beason in your columns I will 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 dant peach crop, but sinoe that time the peaches have rotted and fallen off in the greater portion of the orchards which I have noticed. Fertilizers are bidding fair to pay well this season, as applied to com. Considerable amount of the Chesapeake guano has been Ufed in this section with good result. About half the amount of cotton is planted this year that was last. Very respectfully, T. O. Laslib. Western and Atlantic Railroad,I President’s Office, >- Atlanta, Ga., January 30, 1871.1 Dr. N. L.

What tee Ku-klux Investigation Costs.— It is estimated each Ku-klux witness costs the country $250, and many of them muoh more, so that the temptation to visit the capitol at the pnblio cost is sufficient for wandering carpet baggers, vicious negroes, or low scalawags, who form the staple of those called here on the Rad ical side from the South.

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 ment from the District Attorney and others, for the arrest of Cok Lamar, and calls for soldiers to come into the Bar, ensued. Colonel L. said: “I have committed no disorder. I have done nothing to justify my arrest.” Then the United States Marshak with soldiers following him, ap proached Colonel Lamor, and, as he was about to law hands on him, Colonel L. struck him with his fist, the Jndge all the time endeavoring to restore order. Very soon order was restored. When everything became quiet Colonel L. ap- pologized in a very handsome and ample man. ner to the Court for striking the Marshal, the Marshal having declared that he did not ap proach him for the purpose of arresting him. The Jndge accepted the apology and the Mar shal declared himself satisfied. The Herald says the petition for Bowen’s par don is being signed very generally in Washing ton by persons of all parties.
