SATURDAY MORNING. AUGUST 5, 1871
The minerieu of a Corn Bnjer.
A friend in Southwest Georgia, with a view
to a lively picture of the miseries of a corn
buying planter, narrates the imaginary experi
ence of snch an one in the M-icon market, seek
ing to roplonisli bis crib by the financial expe
dients which usually substitute a supply of
greenbacks. In so doing tho unhappy corn'
buyer is made the victim of an arrogance and
groed which we are quite sure never were ex
hibited by our corn-merchants. It is true, as
tho scene is imaginary and fictitious names are
given, there oonld bo no personal offence; but
even for a good end it is not right to awaken
groundless prepossessions and prejudices against
a class.
Wo are glad to see our intelligent planters
settling down into tho conviction that farm sup
plies must be raisod at home, instead of in Mis
souri; and that agricultural independence is the
only road to comfort and wealth. When this is
achieved a saving of twenty-five per cent, on
our ootton product, will soon make Georgia
teem with wealth and abundance.
Direct Connection xvitli tire Sea.
We printed yesterday an announcement of
the completion of tho grent enterprise of the
Control Road, which extends its track to the Sa
vannah River, and enables it to receive and dis
charge freight shipboard direct with once hand
ling and no drayage. Tho forwarding agent,
Mr. J. T. Waring, gives notice in our advertis
ing columns to-day, that persons desiring to
avail themselves of the saving of expense on
occount of these facilities shonld havo it express
ed in the bills of lading that their consign
ments are to bo landed at the Central Railroad
Wharf. By tho 1st of November tho erection
of a largo shed will enable the company to store
heavy artiolos for shipment See advertise

Cotton was active again in Liverpool, but
without advance. The sales of the week footed
up 84,000 bales. The stock was reported at
073,000 balos, of which 3C2.000 were Ameri
can cotton. 485,000 balos wore reported
afloat, of which only 40,000 were American.
Some idea of tho relativo stntus may be gath
ered by comparing Friday’s Liverpool returns
of the week as follows:

Wan in Heavkn: A Disquisition Biblical and
Rational, concerning Angels, Devils and Men,
and tho Creation, Fall and Redemption of the
Human Soul. By James F. Simmons, of Law-
renceville, Ga.
This work represents a now and fanciful doc-
trino peculiar to the author, and calculated, so
far as our own observation extends, to do no
manner of good, but rather much evil Con
siderable ingenuity and learning are displayed
by Mr. Simmons, and wo could wish that his
talonts had been better directed. Thus far the
Sonth has been singular1f free of the isms, and
now fanglod doctrines of a spiritual nature. We
are sorry that an exoeption now presents itself.
“All Scripture is given by inspiration of God,
and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for
oorreotion, for instruction in righteousness.”
"And if any man shall take away from the
words of the book of this prophecy, God shall
take bis part out of tho book of life,” eta
Let us roceive the word of God in its entirety,
and not protend to invent theories, or overturn
dootrines which havo stood tho tests of thou
sands of years, and will abide through all eter
nity. For salo by J. W. Butko & Co.
Too Much Cotton in Pkesia. —High authority
announces as one great cause of the terrible
famine and consequent pestilence in Persia, the
cultivation of cotton instead of the national diet
—rice. The sarao horrid results six years ago
were visible in India, and from the same cause.
In one distriot of India two millions Hindoos
perished from hunger and the diseases conse
quent upon inanition. Inadeqnate and unwhole
some food is certain to prodnoe disease. The
oastern lands, teeming with population, cannot
be devoted to cotton-growing without famish
ing their myriad inhabitants. Great Britain,
while groaning over the miseries of the South
ern slave, consigned millions of Hindoo labo
rers to death in order to become independent of
the American cotton crop. So, daring tho oivil
war, the Khedive of Egypt starved thousands of
his Fellah population to avail his treasury of
high ootton prices. It is grotesque to reflect
upon tho pretensions to humanitanism and ex
traordinaiy philanthropy of people who will sell
lives, in the way business, for a groat apiece.
Tm Cholera.—There is considerable excite'
meat and apprehension in Great Britain and
continental Europe about the cholera It has
passed tho Asiatic boundaries and has appeared
in European Russia and the German ports of
tho Baltio. From thence some sporadic cases
have appeared in Hull, England, in the persons
of German emigrants bound to America. France
is fearful of tho disease on account of the sani-
tary disorders resulting from the late war. It
is said to be making alarming ravages in the
neighborhoods of Cronstadt and St. Petersburg
in Russia. The probabilities are decided that
it will sweep over the western nations ns it did
a generation ago, and, being forewarned of its
dread approach, it should not find the western
world unprepared. Every sanitary preparation
should be mado, and the medical science of the
world should be directe dto its cause, diagnosis
and cure.
Gwinnett Atlas.—We see from the Gwinnott
Atlas, of the 2d, that it has been transferred,
stock, look and barrel, to Tyler M. Peeples,
Esi], Mr. Bonlly retaining his connection wiih
the offioe as foreman, until be starts out, like
another editorial Daniel Boono, to seek a new
settlement and a new place of publication.
Brothers Bonlly and Elam Christian are the
grand pioneers of the Georgia press. They
pervade the Ssate. We weloome Mr. Peeples
to the fraternity on the basis of his excellent
salutatory. Brother Bonlly, who has printed
papers in all the four quarters of tho glob
even to an essay to initiate the natives of South
Africa into the art of conducting a newspaper,
promised to give ns a succinct narrative of his
travel* and adventures. Why is it not forth
coming?
The Steak Traction Engine.—Secretary
Lewis undertakes to tell ns what he thinks of
the “Traction Engine,” imported by Mr. Wad-
ley; but as the dUtauee is long he only gets to
the poiat of narrative to-day. Mr. C. would
have gladly gone with the Secretary, but at the
time of receiving Mr. Wr.dley’s dispatch, he
was the sole representative of the staff editorial
then in Macon. The rest had gone to see their
mother—Mrs. Alma.
A oallant young man—one Henry Ellington,
beat a young lady of Indianapolis to death last
Sunday with a brick-bat, because she refused to
marry him. To infer the character of the young
hoosier from this illustration oonld be unjust,
but it would be tho kind of justice meted out
to the Southern people by the Ku klux Com
mittee.
The Advertiser and Mail at Montgomery,
boasted a thermometer down to 34 on Wednes
day, but they bad put it iu ice.
Alumni Oration of lion. B. If. Hilf.
We wish to place ourselves right upon tho
record, with rospect to our lalo report of tho
speech of this gentleman.
In common with much the largest portion of
his auditory, we are forced to ntter_a hearty
dissent to his views upon the defunct institution
of slavery.
It is full early for any Southron to stnltify
the past and foul his own nest, by stigmatizing
a system sanctioned by the Great Jehovah him
self, and under which onr fathers prospered so
much and were universally recognized as the
noblest type of the human race. ■*
And although acquiescing in the arbitrament
of the sword, and fully convinced that it would
be neither expedient nor practicable even if no
obstacle intervened, to ro-ensiave the African,
yet wo are not prepared to “thank God” with
Mr. Hill that wo are “loosed” from the vile
thing. Nor is it true that slavery per se was tbo
cause of our worn lands and suicidal system of
agricnltnro.
In the State of New York the yield of wheat
has declined from an average of 15 bushels to
8 bushels per acre, even under tho cultivation of
skilled white labor.
Did slavery do this? or was it not the result
rather of imposing upon nature, and withhold
ing those nutritive elements from a generous
soil which the successive crops had well nigh
exhausted ?
But how stands the record under onr six years’
role of freedom ?
By carefnl and industrious cultivation even
on the old farms of Middle Georgia, five bales
of cotton per hand was deemed a moderate
yield before the war, and from seven to ten
were frequently harvested in Sonihwest Geor
gia. Smoke-houses then teemed with fat bacon
and those juicy old Georgia hams so much su
perior in flavor to Western meat Now, it is
notorious that in every instanes where freed-
men have full sway and are left to themselves,
though half at what they make is theirs, the
land owner is impoverished, and the laborers
themselves poorer than at the surrender of Lee’s
army.
But it may be urged, whenco then tho heavy
crop of the past year? We answer unhesitating
ly it was the result of the white man's labor in
great measure. On almost every farm the
land holder with his sons bought fertilizers, and
seizing tho plowhandles realized more from tho
small space cultivated by his own hnnds, than
from the hundreds of acres leased to tho nrgro,
or planted on shares with him.
The writer himself, the present season, bad
as it is, will do better with one white man and
his four children and tho faithful service of a
single former slave who has never left him, than
the past year with eight stalwart freedmon and
their families. And it is universally admitted
that under the thriftless management of ne
groes, onr farms must continue to deteriorate,
while the prostrate fences and deoaying cribs
and barns visible on every side, tell the true
story of the effects of free labor. As to bacon,
ask Mr. Huff's opinion on the subject ?
Bnt we propose to show, by referonco to tho
instance of Libeity county, in our own State,
that onr lands were not necessarily exhausted
because tilled by (slaves. In that county, with
ar population of 8000, but 2000 were whites.
And yet we appeal to the editors of the South
ern Cnltivator to say, if the lands of that region
when the war opened, were not in better heart
and far more productive than twenty years pre
viously. The constant application of manure,
which was manufactured on the largest scale,
the rotation of crops, and judicious rest, will
fully explain the cause. How fares it now in
that africanized territory ? Again, we shall
take the stand and speak from personal expert
ence:
On a singlo plantation now stocked to over
flowing with a popnlation of freedmen, who re
ceive two-thirds of all they can produce, and
are never visited by a white supervisor, the
share of the proprietor the past year did not ex
ceed two hundred dollars.
And yot, in slavery days, 100 bales of Sea
Island cotton and from 1,000 to 3,000 bushels of
rice were not deemed an unusual crop, besides
corn and the lesser products of the farm. These
are facts, and we appeal, also to the personal
observation and experience of the editors of the
Southern Cultivator, who are good authority on
the subject and formerly resided in the same
region, to substantiate onr assertions.
Let not Mr. Hill, then, charge npen slavery
alone these results which sprang from our own
folly and want of foresight. Even now lhe most
abnsed plantation in upper Georgia, if we had
laborers who conld be constantly employed in
the manufacture of manure, and a proper rota
tion of crops and sowing of small grain, and
hill-side ditching were observed, might be made
to bloom and blossom like the rose. But the
free negro only works for present results. Hence
many of the rich plantations of the seaboard he
waste, because he cannot be prevailed upon
even to open the old ditches and drain the soil
becauso it don't pay to-day.
So mnch for Mr. Hill’s argument. Aside from
his slavery positions, his address was replete
with sonnd advice, and the concluding portions
msgnifioently eloqnent. We hare no disposi
tion to do injustice to a distinguished class
mate.
Tho Charleston .Election.
The Charleston papers of the 3d, in anticipa
tion of the defeat of Fillsbnry aud his phalanx
of negro bullies and thieves, arc ecstatic. The
telegrams of yesterday confirm the triumph,
The count of votes showed the election of the
Citizens' or Conservative ticket by nearly 800
majority. At the State election last fall the
Reformers carried Charleston by over 400 ma
jority, and this fact indneed the gang of pnblio
thieves which calls itself the Sonth Carolina
Legislature to change the municipal election
day in Charleston from November to August, in
order to have it on a time when most of the
white voters were away.
But the Charlestonians had been robbed to
that extent that they had to stay at home or
come home to vote, and the intelligent and vir
tuous classes among the negroes—those few
who held taxable property and therefore suffered
with the whites in the triumphs of knavery and
rowdyism, came up matfully to the support of
the common cause. We rejoice with Charleston
on her deliverance from the reign of fraud and
negro bullies.
The new birth was achieved in much agony.
The city papers are full of the violence of the
PiUsbury black bullies, who maint^ied the
most menacing attitude during the day\wttempt-
ing to harry and murder such of their own oolor
as voted against the carpet-bagger PiUsbury. A
dispatch to the Savannah Advertiser says:
Bnt for the prompt and intrepid conduct of
a few United States regulars who were stationed
with fixed bayonets at every poll, general riot
ing and serious bloodshed would have probably
occurred. As it is, the only serious incident
was the shooting in the eighth ward of a colored
bntcher named Grant. Ho is not expected to
live.
This victory will do more to restore the cour
age, faith, energy and prospeii'y of Charleston
than anything which has happened since the
war. A community or State ruled in defiance
of aud opposition to the tax-payers can move in
but one way, and that is down the road to ruin.
Good Time.—The Montgomery Advertiser
says the trains from West Point to Atlanta now
go through in three hours. The distance is 87
miles. The fastest time of any road*!n the
South. This is fair time—twenty-nine miles an
hour, stoppages included.
THE (iKOItVIA I* I CESS.
Fallon coUDty returns 2,079 polls and taxable
property, amounting to $17,305,895—being an
increase of $3,003,616 upon last year.
A narrow guage railroad engine for Chehaw
passed through Atlanta on Thursday. Guage,
three feet—weight, ten tons—cyUnder, two by
twelve—driving wheels, three feet in diameter
—speed, fifteen miles an hoar.
The San says Thursday was tho hottest day
of the summer. The Georgian heard of a case
of sunstroke. No figures given. Ice has been
cheapened in Atlanta to I j and 14 cents per
pound.
Gen. Colanitt publishes, in the Atlanta pa
pers, a letter to him from Gen. Gordon, in
which the latter says he is not, and shall not be,
a candidate for Governor, and the publication
of his name, as such, by the True Georgian is
without authority. If nominated, his engage
ments would compel him to decline.
The Supreme Court on Thursday had reached
the last case on the Southwestern circuit. The
next was the Pataula—42 cases.
What Ex-Goyebnob Bbown Knows About
Fabmino.—The August number of the Rural
Southerner has the following:
Governor Brown has illustrated the value of
high culture on an acre lot adjoining bis resi
dence. The forage produced on this single acre
feeds several horses and the most of the year.
The Governor estimates a clean gain of $250
from the present season’s crop. It was sown in
corn, which grew to the height of ten feet, when
it presented more the appearance of a bottom
cane-brake than a corn patch. When fully
grown, the corn was ent and cured, aDd is now,
after going through a cutter, fed to the stock.
Tobnado in Gbiffin.—They had a small tor
nado in Griffin last Tuesday. The Middle
Goorgian says:
Tho African Methodist Church, a building
thirty-Bix by sixty feet was blown from its
foundation, and left a complete wreck. Large
oak trees were twisted off, and branches from
other shado trees wrenched off and sent flying
through the air. Several other small dwellings
were blown down, and repairs to fence have
been the order of the day since the storm. On
Wednesday we again had a fine rain, with some
wind. The tornado of Tuesday was restricted
to a very narrow scope, and we havo no dam
age to report from the country.
Pike, Mebiwetheb and Coweta.—The Griffin
Star says -.
We passed through a portion of Pike, Meri
wether, Coweta, and this connty, the first of the
week, and found tho crops suffering much more
than we expected. Therejseemsjto be a streak
running from Line Creek through the lower
portion of Coweta and Meriwether, and extend
ing into Pike, where they have not had a season
in nearly seven weeks. In many places the fod
der is literally burned up, and the stalks and
ears of com look as if they were dead. Tho
cotton looks withered, and we heard that in
some instances it was dying. To the above
there were rare exceptions, where the corn was
as fine as the ground conld produce and the cot
ton looked healthy and vigorous. How far this
dronth extends we conld not learn. The farm
ers generally havo “laid by” their crops, bnt
seem discouraged.
Seizube of the Alabama and Chattanooga
Railboad.—Gov. Bnllook gives notice by pro
clamation, that he bos taken possession of that
part of the road which runs through tbo terri
tory of Georgia.
Mr. Gould, near Gainesville, bos offered a
magnificent water-powor on tho Chattnboochie
and five acres of land to any company that will
start a cotton factory within the next year on
the site.
State Lunatic Asylum.—The Cartersvillo
Standard is pleased to learn from the Milledge-
ville Union that tho contractors for tho con
struction of the extensive additions to the
State Lunatio Asylum, Messrs. Evans & McEl-
fresh, are progressing rapidly with the work.
They commenced to lay brick 25 days ago, and
have now abont 1,500,000 brick laid, nearly
half the amount required. They are laying
now an average of 35,000 brick per day. They
have 135 hands at work on the building and at
the brick-yard. They will soon have all the
brick made to complete the work. This looks
like business,
Mr. Eaves is of the firm of Eaves & McGinty,
of Cartersville, who have the contraot for the
brick work. This is a go-ahead firm, and be-
longs to Cartersville.
Slate.—The Standard noticed on last Tues
day morning a car load of slate brought over
the Cherokee Railroad. This is the first we
have heard of being brought over this road,
bnt when the road is completed, slate will bo
one of the chief articles for transportation.

_____ D - W. L.
Libebty and Razobs.—Unquestionably the
spirit of independence and resentment possesses
the “nations’ wards” at the “capital of the na
tion.” A Washington dispatch in the Herald
of Tuesday, says:
On Saturday night Andrew Curtain, a white
znaD, while quietly on his way home, acciden
tally stumbled against a colored man who was
carrying a watermelon. The colored man was
accompanied by two other men, who knocked
Curtain down, while one of the party drew
razor across his throat, completely severing his
windpipe. The wounded man will probably die.
The assailants escaped, two policemen being
nnable to overtake them. The National Re
publican says:
It is abont time this razor bnsincss was
stopped, and it conld be if in all the cases
brought to light the maximum instead of the
minimum fines would be imposed, as was done
in a case before the Police Court on Saturday.
The men who own razors seem to be entirely
too willing and ready to use them for illegiti
mate purposes at unseemly times.
- Radical Distuebances in Abkansas.—The
Little Rock correspondent of the Memphis Ap
peal says:
Some time ago, Senator Mason, (colored),
was appointed Probate Judge in Chicot county.
Afterward, Mason not being considered a good
friend of Clayton, Major Ragland (white) was
appointed in his stead, bnt Mason refused to
give up tho office. The County Court met, the
Sheriff' refused to obey Mason’s order, when the
latter had him put in jail, raisod a company of
militia and ran Ragland and Barbour, a negro,
and a newly imported assessor, ont of the conn
ty. Siace then, several efforts have been mado
to compromise with Mason, but to no effect.
On the 17th the County Court met at Lake
Village. Ragland again made his appearance,
when Mason brought into town four hundred
armed negroes, and went for the whole cretf.
Ragland and party withdrew, leaving Mason
again master of the situation.
The friends of Ragland aro now hero in con
ference with the Governor regarding local poli
tics.
A Fine Cafe, two billiard halls, elevator,
telegraph office, and, in fact, all modern con
veniences, entice the traveler to the Ammi'.-
House, Boston. Once there, he would not wil
lingly change his quarters.
Health of New Obleans.—The Picayune of
Wednesday says that New Orleans is remarkably
healthful; bnt while this is the case, unfounded
rumors of sickness are current abroad.
Chableston presents a clean bill of health for
the season. Tho intermonts during the week
just passed only number twenty-one, of which
nine were whites and twelve blacks. For a city
of over 40,000 inhabitants this is an excellent
showing.

Macon, August 4th, 1871.
Editors Telegraph and Messenger: I have
just reached the city on the morning train of
tho Central Railroad without sleep—both the
sleeping oars from Angusta and Savannah bo
ing full, (which had nut happened before in six
months, said the conductor,) and hasten be
fore utter exhaustion to Rive you outlines of
ride to 9, Central Railroad, and over to the
Wadley mills yesterday to witness tho perform
ance of the Ttiomson Road steamer.
On Wednesday, onr friend Gen. Holt, in
formed me that Mr. Wadley had telegraphed
him that there would be an exhibition and test
at the mills Friday, and requesting himself and
Mr. Clisby to bo present. Upon intimation to the
General, that the deep interest I felt that the
great department of^ndustry which my office
was endeavoring to serve, had in the experi
ment, made mo wish to witness the trial, he
promptly gave me such a card as indneed Capt.
Beckett to pass me, pleasantly remarking as we
parted at the cars, where he hoped hoped to
find Mr. Clisby on his wav, and failing, he
hoped I would do what I conld to apologize for
and represent two delinquent gentlemen.
All arranged, the smooth rolling, easy swing
ing passenger coach of the Central rolled us
down by appointed stages to No 9. Here I was
politely handed over by Capt. Beckett to Mr.
Cubbedge, one of Mr. Wndley’s valuable assist
ants, I judged, in some department of his vast
field of labor, and very soon I was brought in
contact with Mr.Wadley,whom I found some two
hundred yard from tho train which was to take
ns over to the scene of the test—without the
shelter of tree or roof, bareheaded and without
coat or vest, and utterly unconscious of any lack
of comfort or cloth. He welcomed me pleas
antly, and after receiving his mails or packages
from some one specially beating them, and
after a few words of appropriate and deserved
chastisement of onr delinquent friends, he
turned and invited me to follow him to the train
for the mills in Emanuel, over a railroad some
six or seven miles long, I believe, and bnilt by
the means aud notable energy of two yonnger
brothers of Mr. W.—Moses and Dole (a mater
nal ancestral name) W.dley. We passed over
the bridge, and then near or quite a mile
through one of the foslest cypress swamps con
ceivable. One would unconsciously ask, who
would have thought of undertaking snch a task ?
And yet these men toiled at it summer and
winter, moved by the prospect of the harvest in
the beautiful pine fields beyond. J udge Jones’ ac
count to me of these men and their work is more
interesting than I can here make. All should
rejoice that they have reached the harvest field
and are reaping as diligently as man power and
steam-power can apparently possibly control.
On entering the cars for Emanuel I found
aboard my friend and school fellow, Judge J.
B. Jones, of Bnrke—a thrifty farmer; Mr.
Perkins, of LawtoD, farmer and lumberman;
Mr. Hines, of Washington, ship lumberman;
Mr. Stockton, of tho Constitutionalist; Mr.
Williams, farmer, of Tafnall; Mr. Long, of tho
LaGrarge Reporter; Mr. Cunningham, mer
chant, Savannah; Mr. Preston, Mr. Miller, Mr.
William Wadley, jr., ard others in the form of
four beautiful, bright-eyed, quiet little children
of Mr. Moses Wadley, who was sick and conld
not be present.
On the ride over tho river an ice claret punch
very much refreshed the company. The most
observable thing in the face of nature was the
rich green coat of grass all over the Emanuel
side, contrasted with tho parched, stinted,
stubble and weed of the Bnrke side. Another re
markable fact is that the best crop of corn I saw
from here to the mill was on the land of Mr.
Lane, near the first mill, managed by Mr.
Moses Wadley.
We paused awhile at this to unship a cargo,
aud the order was given while that was being
done, “Have dinner, Cato,” an order very soon
and remarkably well extended. The roast fowl,
the ham, the corned beef, the beans, the pota-

randah. WeU shaded. In an excellent neighbor- I
hood. No better water in the city, and convenient

of the city for a business man, and yet far enough
removed to avoid the disadvantages attending a
residence too near. Time given on part of tho pur
chase money on both places. The other residence

contains five rooms, ball, verandah, basement and I
ali out-buildings. Water good. Grounds covered

ted for a boarding house for the Mercer students,
and the grounds offer superior advantages for gar
den purposes. It is a delightful home, and can [
never depreciate in value. Abo, I will sell several i
