Telegraph «& Messenger. TUESDAY MORNING. JULY 4. 1871 Urorgia Fonrtli of Jnlj—No Paper To-Morrow. To-day being one of the legal holidays no work will be done in our office, and therefore the castom&ry moming Tzlioraph and Messen ger will not appear to moAow. The next inane will be on Thursday morning. Cloves n IIonhoe County.—Col. George W. Adams brought us, yesterday, two samples of clorer, cut from patches in the town of Forsyth. One of the second cutting this year was three feet nine inches and a fraction long. Another specimen, from a third cutting, this year, was only four inches shorter. This clover was sown last October, v/ith a crop of barley, and is the growth of the high upland upon which the town of Forsyth is located. Such results are truly winderful, but we must allow that they are, it great part, due to the extraordinary humidity »f the season, which has been specially favorr 1 '!® to the grasses. lint were we to set dowD fifty per cent, to the credit of an unusually fo/orable season, still enough would be left to p 1<>w that Monroe oonnty may easily have p* c h clover fields as fov. sections of the Unit/ 1 states can exhibit. Mr. Adams says Hint Mr. Lumpkin will, in a few days, give his cl^® r fields a sec ond cutting, and promise the result in weight of dried forage to ** e acro - Pbemiums foe Cc 101 *- — The committee having in charge tlFP re P ftra fi on of the list of premiums for cott n to be given by the citizens of St. Louis at * re St. Louis Fair next October, have oomplet <J arrangements and deter mined upor lhe following scale of prizes : Fcr the best t* 1 ® of lol *g or short staple raised in Tenners, $54)0; second best bale, .$-'.70; third best,- 1( *h The same premiums will be awarded to e*tton grown in Mississippi, Louisiana Tex- nt Arkansas, Alabama, Georgia, Eoulh Caroli na, North Carolina and Missouri ; also, $500 for the best bale from I’eeler or other improved seed, and a thousand dollars for the best bale grown in any State, making the aggregate $10- 000 premium, the largest amount ever given for cotton in this country. * Me. Ami Ciitteb, of Anoka, Minn., is not prosperous. In JH6;i his saw mill was burned, involving a loss of $42,000. In 1864 a tornado destroyed a two-story warehouse near the Anoka depot, unroofed his barn and damaged his residence. Iu 1807 his mill burned again, involving a loss of $35,000. In 1869 his grist mill was carried away by a tlood—a loss of $20,000. The same year he lost $12,000 worth of logs by flood. To crown all, his saw-mill was struck by lightning last Friday night, and, together with his tub and pail factory and a lot of material was totally destroyed—another loss of about $35,000, without any insurance. The French Loan.—The Ilorald says the French loan has been a success almost unpar alleled in the history of the world. In less than six hours the agents of the Treasury collected four thousand five hundred millions of francs, Paris alono subscribing two thousand five hun dred millions. Well may the Minister of Fi nance say: “ This state of things enables the government to fulfill its engagements and to hasten the deliverance of the country. We shall not wait for the date fixed by the treaty at Frankfort, but shall pay the indemnity in in stallments.'’ Bismaeck on the International Society.— A copy of a letter from Bismarck has found its way into the State Departmental Washington, in which he assails the organization of the In ternational Society as dangerous to the peace of the public welfare. He says that it has its branches in America, and that the United States Government has sent a member of it as consnl to one of the German cities. He expresses the hope that care will be taken in future not to re peat the appointment, so far at least as the German Empire is concerned. The Viaduct Kailroad Company in New York have one hundred and fifty engineers en gaged on the snrvey. The road is to rnn about twenty-five feet above the ground, on brick arches, between transverse iron ribs, supported by heavy iron lateral columns artistically de signed. themselves supported on inverted arches of solid masonry built into the ground. All available spaces nnder the road will be con verted into stores and markets. The Ucmnlgee land North Knilroad. The Gwinnett Atlas seems to be in a very dissatisfied and acrimonious humor. We are as sincere and hearty in our support of the Ocmnlgee and North Georgia Kailroed as he is; bat he throws his missiles si ns, as if we were an enemy to the enterprise. We ventured to state from facts within cur personal knowledge, that the Central Raiboad, so far from feeling any hostility to that enterprise, is in favor of it as likely to benefit her own trade; but the Atlas forthwith pluDg^s into an Argument of a column to prove that ihis must be untrue. We tell him it is not mvrue, and even if it wore, that fact would not help hie enterprise. There ie no use in huntirg up opposition. There’s al ways enough to forte itself on your notice, without running afterit. Jut after pitching into the Central Railroad tc<l into ns, the Atlas gives onr people a taste of its temper as follows : We are surprised at the apparent inditferenoe of the people of Macon to the success of this great enterprise. Neither her capitalists, or newspaper men, seem to care a “continental” whether it is ever bnilt or not. If there was one-half the energy and public spirit there that there ie in Atlanta—orif we oould just exchange the populations, and newspapers too, of the two places, we would then have no doubt whatever of the immediate construction of the Ccmulgee and North Georgia Road. As it is, we warn the friends of (he road, that it will be a fatal mistake for them to remain quiet and inactive, expecting Macon to take the initiative in the matter. We cannot see how this kind of talk is going to help matters. If the Gwinnett Atlas prefers to connect with Atlanta, he can do it simply by building fifteen miles of railway down to Stone Mountain and there unite with the Georgia Road. As for Macon—without entering into any in vidious comparisons—she may well claim that, whether she has or has not exhibited any energy or public spirit in the matter of railways, the map of Georgia at least shows her to be the greatest railway centre in the State. But we decline any ill-natured wrangling about the matter. The people of Macon are very anxious to extend their railway connections in the direc tion of GwinDett, and will do what they can to that end. As for Macon “capitalistswe have few or none. But our men of trade believe that a better communication with the rich counties which will be traversed by this road is highly important to the oity, and to the State. Augusta Factory—A New Mill to be Built. Id the Chronicle and Sentinel, of Satnrday, we find a report of the semi-annual meeting of the stockholder of this flourishing corporation. It appear- that the gross earnings and interest for the year ending June 10th, were $190,649 53, and gross expenses $51,108 09, leaving as net earnings $145,504 84, from which fonr dividends of 5 per cent, each have been paid, amounting to $120,000, leaving $25,540 84 to go to profit and loss account, and making $258,83617 the amount now standing to the credit of that account. Du ring the year, 6,851 bales of cotton, averaging 440 pounds each, at on average cost of 15.26 cents per pound were consumed, the product of which were 10,185 bales of goods measuring 8,527,728 yards, of which 10,121 bales were sold during the year, leaving on hand at date of meeting 64 bales. It was resolved to build a new mill with 15,000 additional spindles, at a cost of $450,000. W. E. Jackson, Esq , was re elected President, and Messrs. Edward Thomas, Thomas G. Barrett and Joseph B. Gumming Directors. Tbe Cotton Figures. The cotton figures (see first page) are inter esting. Receipts of the ootton year np to last Friday night 3,891,018 bales, against 2,825, 469 last year—showing an increase of 1,065,612 bales. The receipts are now coming in very slowly—only 18,197 bales last week—showing that the incoming crop may not, probably, ex ceed fonr millions bales. If it averages fifteen thousand bales a week for the remainder of the year--say eight weeks, 120,000 bales—the footing np would be about 4,011,000 bales. The ex ports of cotton are wonderful—3,061,821 out of the total of 3,891,118 bales—and yet the in crease of stock now in Liverpool is only 158, 000 bales. The entire Liverpool stock of all kinds of cotton, including cotton afloat, is 1,364, 012 bales, against 1,065,771 last year—showing an increase over last year of only 295,250 bales notwithstanding the heavy American crop and exports. This gives a very favorable view of the cotton situation. The school-boys in Wisconsin are making nse of the locusts swarming there. They fill their pockets with these tuneful creatures, “and when shcool exercises are well under way, at a sig nal from the baton of their leader, tap their pockets simultaneously, causing the insects to join in a chorus which entirely drowns ail other noises within a quarter of a mile, and precludes all other business while the concert is progress ing. _ The New York Sun borrows hope of a scrub race in 1872, from the prospect that the dissat isfied Democrats in the South will run a candi date against the regular Democratic nominee. That’s the feblest hope that mortal ever put hook into. The third candidate business work ed so unhappily in I860, that few in the South will want to try it again. Rum . A.-oci F v :e —It is supposed when the obstructions to navigation presented by the rooks of Hell 14 ,(0 ,ire removed, foreign trade ■will generally entrr the portof New Yorkthrough the Sound, in ‘ ad of by way of Sandy Hook. Already, 'u anticipation of this event, extensive docks for foreign steamships are being construct ed at the junction of East and Harlem Rivers. The Tobacco Cbop, according to figures furnished by the Louisville Democrat, amounted last year to 273,84)0,000 pounds, valued at $32,- 206,325. Of this crop the Southern States pro- dneed all but 61,300,000 pounds, which were grown in New England, Middle and Western States. [[ . Bibb County Sheriff's Adverttsino. —Sher iff Doyle requests us to state that from this time out the sheriff's advertising for the county of Bibb will appear in the Telegraph and Messenger. The sheriff's sales for August next will be found in this edition. THKUEUKttlA PK4AS. Two jail deliveries last week—one in Clarke, and the other in Randolph county. The pris oners left word that they’d do back when the fruit and green corn season was over. * A case of sunstroke at Savannah, Satnrday morning, came very near terminaiing fatally. The late Wm. B Hodgson, of Savannah, who died in New York last week, was buried, Satur day, at Bonaventnre. The deceased spoke flu ently all the leading tongues of Europe, and could converse in more than thirty languages. Tbe Savannah Republican, on the authority of a rice planter, reports that crop in an excel lent condition, and promising very satisfactory results. Rev. F. M. Daniel, late pastor of the Baptist Church at Outhbert, has resigned his charge, and will be succeeded by Rev. Abner Campbell. The Albany News, of Friday, reports as fol lows for last week: Weather and Crops.—No rain of consequence this week. Weather hot and steamy. Planters getting out of the grass. Cotton small and stands poor. Corn seriously hurt. Laborers failing under the hot sun, and some cases of fever among them. Down in the wire grass country they cure drunkenness and wife whipping, by tying up the offender and licking him until he promises to join the church and the Good Template. Gen. Wade Hampton and family, and Gen. M. W. Gary, of South Carolina, were iu Atlanta, Sunday. A howl for Darby’s Prophylactic Fluid and Night Blooming Cereus comes up from Atlanta. Sixteen car loads of Amendments have arrived to spend the 4th. Col. R. A. Alston has dissolved his connec tion with the Plantation, and Col. C. W. How ard now “goes it alone.” Atlanta rumor, on Saturday, assigned the po sition of President of the Georgia Western Railroad to Major Campbell Wallace. Mr. Daniel Fleck, an old engineer, but who naw keeps a saloon in Atlanta, was knoeked from the track—where he was sitting appar- aatlv asleep—of tbe Macon and Western Rail road noar that city, Saturday night, and severe ly, if not fatally injured. Johnny Blandford, son of Hon. Mark Bland ford, of Columbus, fell from a tree, Saturday, and broke his arm in two places. Watermelons are plentiful at Columbus at from 25 to 75 cents a piece. CoL E. M. Butt, of Marion oounty, has been appointed Judge of the Columbus District Court rice C. W. Chapman deceased, and James Mc Neil, of Golumbns, Solicitor. We quote as follows from the ColumbuB Sun, of Sunday: New Establishment — Oil Mill — $125,000 Capital —Information reaches us thata North ern company has purchased the large briok building, on Oglethorpe street, known as Hai nan's foundry, where an Empire Cotton Seed Hnller and OU Works will be established. The company, it is said, will start with a capi tal of $125,000. Tneir machinery is already purchased, and en route for this oity. Mr. Smith, the Superintendent, has been here for some time, making headquarters at Mr. Goet- chius’ steam plftDing mills. The following are the officers of the company: Jas. N. Townsend, of New York, President; H. Woodward, of Bos ton, Vice-President; W. N. Ealy, of Stratford, Conneeticnt, Treasurer, and Jos. W. Smith, Superintendent. Disastrous to Cotton.—We saw a letter yes ter day from a leading broker in Montgomery. He says in the rich black lands of Alabama rain has fallen for ten successive days. Ten per cent, of the cotton planted has been abandoned to grass and weeds. The question is not how large, but how short a crop will be made. If tbe boll worm comes good-bye to cotton. The letter is based upon accurate observations in six of the richest counties in Alabama. A policeman named Cartledge, shot and killed a man named Hefferman, at Augusta, on Satnr day. Hefferman was resisting arrest, and had cut Cartledge quite seriously. The coroner's jury found a verdict of justifiable homicide. A man nnmed Oxford, who is charged with t wo or three murders in various parts of the State, was arrested in Burke county, last week, and is now in jail at Augusta. He was in jail at Sparta, at one time, but was released by a band of unknown men. The Quitman Banner relates the following: Infants Drowning a Baby.—A horrible affair ‘occurred on a plantation six miles west of Quit- man, on last Friday, by which n oolored infant, eighteen months old, lost her life. The infant aforesaid was left at the cabin in charge of an older sister, some five years of age, whilst the mother went to work in a neighboring field Soon after the departure of the mother, two col ored children, aged about six and eight years, from another cabin on the same plantation, put in an appearance, and desired the little nurse to accompany them in quest of blackberries. She told them she could not leave the baby, but that if they (the visitors) would take her (the baby) to the well, and drown it, she would go with them. They instantly seized the child, one taking hold of its head, sad the other its feet, carried it to the well, and gleefully cast it in. The mother soon after received lntelli- gence of the affair. but, before she could extri cate tbe child from the water, life was extinct. The children were arrested, but immediately discharged, as it was evident, from their youth they were not legally responsible for the serions crime committed. Of weather and crops the Lumpkin Tele graph, of Saturday, talks as follows : The Weather and Crops.—Since our last issue we have had rain every day till Tuesday except a few days of nearly a week, just before onr last issue, we have had rain nearly every day since the middle of ApriL The crop« are in a deplorable oondition. A large portion of the best lands in our oounty is uttqfly drowned out, and most of the growing crops, not yet PLANTERS, TAKE NOTICE. BA.CON. BACON. 3STOW IS THE TIME TO BUY ! BURDICK BROTHERS Will sell you BACON, for CASH or on TIME as low as any house in MIDDLE GEORGIA. We are prepared to fill all orders for CORN, and cannot be undersold. 8end your orders to Gen. Sherman Vindicates the South.— A Washington dispatoh, dated Friday, Jane 80th, and found in the Nashville papers of Sat urday, says: At the fifty-'onrth annual commencement of Georgetown College, yesterday, General Sher man, in the course of a short address, said the attempt to divide the Union in onr generation had failed, as it wonld always fail, and he would as soon expect the attempt to dissolve this Union, in the future to come from the North as the South, bnt it will never come, for now we are joined together stronger than hy the bands of steel. What will the trooly loyl say to this audacious opinion? This language can bear bat one in terpretation, and that is that the speaker does not believe any of the malicious, cock-and-bull stories about Southern disaffection whioh fill the Radical press. That he regards the K. K. Committee investigation at Washington as only a dirty device of dirtier political hammers to : given np, is very grassy and badly injured, make partisan capital, and that he has no fears half crop of ootton is now a high estimate for *- county. IThe oorn is better, generally good rapidly growing, There is nobody on earth to compare with negroes and Radicals for magnificent appropri ations of public money. One branch of the Territorial Council of the District of Columbia, has already avpropriated fear million dollars to city improvements. The French Elections sustain the govern ment and have gone moderately Republican. Gambetta is the only Radical elected in Paris. The result has strengthened the French finanoes materially. Rochefort is pronounced insane, which will save his head. The future Emperor and Empress of Germa ny, that U to say Frederick William and his wife, daughter of Victoria of England, are to vsit Great Britain during the coming autumn and make a long sojourn. The French population of Strasbourg don’t like the Germans, and fights and rows are fre quent, in which the women join and shower down boiling water copiously. Pardon of Bowen.—The President has par doned Bowen, convicted of bigamy. that the people of the South, though ruled and robbed, most shamefully, by carpet-baggers, ignomat, venal, malicious blacks, and still meaner, more corrupt and vicions scalawags meditate, or will attempt another revolution. This is what his speech means, and the South thanks him for his vindication of her present attilude and intentions. Misquoted.—The telegraphio report dam ages the point of a remark made by Gen. Al- pheus Baker, of Enfanla, Ala., in his address de livered at the University of Georgia, on the 28th nit. It makes him say : “ The Southern youth should obey the laws,- however objectionable they may be. They were, in some respect, like sausages—very good in their way, bat would be disagreeable in the mouths of their manufac turers.” This, however, is what the General really said: He had emphatically counselled the Southern youth to obedienoe of the laws; “bnt,” said he, “gentlemen, I do not know that, with any view to the stimulation in your ingenuous hearts, of a patriotic admiration for them, it be at all wise in me to advise you to a very curious inquiry into the recent process of their manu facture ; for, in one respect, I am afraid some of the most important of them, lately, are a lit tle like the sausages we purchase—the least you know of how they were made the better you will like them. ” __ Wealth of New York.—The official state ment of the assessed valuation of city property for 1871 shows a net increase of real and per sonal property over that of 1870, of $28,729,- 249. This is the way a Chicago paper announces a Fonrth-of-July oration : “E. B. Sherman will take the oncircumcised eagle by the tail, at Ke- wannoe, on the Fourth, and smite him thus.” Well Known—The American House, Boston. Messrs. Rioe keep pace with the times, and supply every valuable improvement for the com fort and convenience of their gnests. The editor of the Dahlonegm Signal has turned his quill into a miner's pick, and is now going for gold- He turned up, last Saturday, with 83 pennyweights, the result of four days' work with three hands and a four stamp mill. The Signal advertises one Spenoer Prervitt, Ordinary of Fannin county, as an “infamous scoundrel” Prervitt has been running an ac count for printing with the Signal offioe for about four years, and now refnses to pay. He will advertise in future in tbe Atlanta Era, from which we infer be is one of the trooly loil. The Track Farms Near Charleston The editor of the Charleston Courier has been visiting some of the truck farms near Charles ton, and we copy some of his observations. Of the farm of Robert Disher he says; An area of ten acres was planted, and the yield has been 1,050 bbls. of potatoes. These have found a lucrative market and averaged five dollars per barrel, thus paying $5,250 for the area, or over five hundred dollars per acre. In addition to this it must be borne in mind that the potato crop requires but six months of the year for maturity, and the land will yield in vegetables of other kinds, an inoome of about $150 per acre. On John Kennedy's farm thirty acres of po tatoes were planted, with a yield of 2,100 bar- rels. These netted $5 per barrel, or $10,500 for the thirty acres. This, also, in addition to the vegetable crop, will yieild $150 per aore. On the farms of Messrs. Henry Williams and P. Huffman the yield was equally as large. On the former place 20 acres yielded 1,140 barrels, and on the latter 2J acres yielded 100 barrels. Another gentleman, who was before the war a prominent cotton planter, bnt who is now ec gaged in raising vegetables, realized over $15, 000 from his potato crop. Altogether, from a careful review of these facts, and other information, the value of the potato crop of the present season may be set down st from $175,000 to $200,000. The editor says that part of these farms were fertilized with stable manure, and part with manipulated phosphates. Results prove that the phosphates are as good as stable manure. CORN. CORISI CORN.
