Agrirnttornl Gossip.
The Farm and Home, for October, baa several
Important and interesting pape" among its
contents. One of these is an artiole by Dr.
Pendleton, of Sparta, on the propoaod
Aonicn.TPnii. Cou.KiE.-Dr. V. reviews at
length the history and eondilion of the agricul
tural colleges noer in existence in the United
States, end claims, as a fundamental condition
of their snecess, that scionUflc and practical
agneollnre shall be the Rrand punrait of a suc
cessful agricultural college to which all others
shall he anboidinate. Hence bo strongly op
poses the plan of turning ovor tho fund to tho
Georgia University and founding an ngricnUnra!
branch of that InsUtulion.
Roar IX Cottox.—Dr. Pendleton's address
npon Hast in Cotton, read iwfore the Rome
meeting of tho Btato Agricultural Society, is
also printed in tho Farm and Home. The Dr.
traces the main cause of cotton rust to inani*
Uon, and makes, wo think, a satisfactory diag
nosis.
Ci-ovcr. and Gnass.—Tho most interesting
papers in the nnmber are the addresses of Dr.
Janes, of Greene oonnly, and ex-Governor
Brown, detailing results and processes in the
cnllnre of clover and the grasses. These were
also delivered before the Rome meeting, and
provo beyond reasonable doubt that, from the
Northerly range of counties in Central Georgia
up, the region is at least equal to any part of
the United Slatca as a elorer and grass country,
strike a line east and west from the centre of
Monroe and we have no donbt all the clayey
soils abovo that bonndaiy nro susceptible of
prodneing abundant crops of grata and clover.
Dr. Janea brings tho testimony of eminent
Southern men and experienced Northern culti
vators to provo from sctnal inspection of bis
crops of Hod Clover, Hard's Grass, Timothy
Ornbard and Bine Grass, that be prodnoed two
and a half tons to llio aero in a singlo entting.
On the ‘.’Oth day of last July, Messrs. Jackson
and Miller certify that they saw measured and
weighed from less than a fourth of an aere, at
tho rate of £,208 pounds of good, sweet hay to
the sore, ready for the lisrn, and this was the
second entting. They assert that hut for a
ilorm a few daya before the clover was cat the
yield would have three tons per aero, and they
say the total yield at two cuttings last year was
live tona per aero. At the current prioee of hay
in our interior towns, snch a crop would be
worth moro than $200 to the acre.
Ex-Gov. Brown s*ys that on the boat river
bottom be baa never mAde bnt little over three
tone to the acre, dried and ready for market.
Ho looks npon clover aa the best of all fertili-
Zen. He thinks it should bo turned under every
third year, and ila fertilizing properties will be
strongly evineed in tho succeeding crops of corn
or wheat. Tho tax upon Georgia for imported
fomge is in part shown by the freight lists of
tho Western and Atlantic Railroad. Thirty,
three thousand bales of Western bay were
brought over that road from 1st January to 1st
July last—worth about $200,000. If a similar
amount it brought tho remaining half year,
then $400,000 worth are brought by that road
yoarly. Both of these gentlemen cultivate elo-
ror and the grasses largely. If Southern Georgia
will persist in buying long forage, why should
not Northern and Central Georgia take advan
tago of tho fact and raise it for the domestic
market? Is not two tons of clover a better crop
to the aero than 200 pounds of cotton t
Sowino Wheat —There is a good deal of talk
in the Farm and nomo about the proper amount
of aecd wheat to the acre. The editor says that
among English Farmers broadcast sowing has
been abandoned and they plant in drills a foot
apart, tho machine dropping one seed to every
foot in the drill. The Med are seleeted with
great care, and it is stated that 102 bnshelsfo
tho aere have been prodnoed by sowing the seed
in this way a foot apart. Dr. Hamilton, of Co
lumbia, says the beat crop he ever prod need was
from less than a half bushel of seed to the aere.
Clarke, a correspondent, says that Dr. Hamilton,
of Ciarke, won the ailvor pitcher with the best
Athens crop of forty-five bushels to tho acre,
by lowing three pecks in drills twenty inehea
•part. Uebeg, the great agricultural chemist,
aays that the greatest enemy to a wheat plant is
another wheat plant, for the very obvions rea
son that both require the same food.

That Land-Sinking Hoax.
An absurd story has been published in many
papers, the Teuco&ain ash Messenger among
them, describing the ricking out of right of the
whole of Urango county in Florida, which
said to have been transformed in a single night
from dry land to a raging inland sea. Some
individual wrote an account of the phenomenon,
and stated that with his own eyea he had seen
the tree tope gyrating in the most frightful
manner before being engulfed, and that he had
narrowly escaped the general destruction by
flight. Notwithstanding the improbability of
the story, it found ready credenoe, and several
wise theories were put forward to acoonnt for
the extraordinary occurrence. It appears now,
according to the New York Sun, that the report
originated from the facts that a storm of re
markable violence recently prevailed in that
region, and that a traveler exposed to its severity
became so excited through its effects, and
those of an nndne indulgence in Orange oonnly
whisky, that to his disordered faculties the
trees and all other objects within range of bis
virion appeared to be flying round in a wild
and altogether unaeoountable manner, while
the ground, instead of rising np to meet him,
aa sometimes occurs under similar conditions,
asemad to sink oat of sight beneath his hone's
tread. And thia is the whole story.
Hnnnu--Tho “editorial staff’’ of the
Tiuoui a and MiasxxaEshave received an in

Wesexxan Fejxaee Oozueob.—The Executive
Committee of the Wesleyan Female College

recent death of Dr. Donnell. Dr. Smith accepts
and will at once enter npon his duliee.
Electing Ineligible Congressmen.
We see Ur. Stephens, in the Atlanta Son,
the 2d instant, devotes a column to the vindica
tion of the policy of electing Senators without
regard to the disqualifications imposed by the
llth Constitutional Amendment, against the
declaration of the Texxobafh that it U “a fool
iah and mischievous” policy. His line of argn
ment is that everybody in Georgia believe* the
amendment to be anoonstitntional and void,
and, therefore, to consider and respect it at all
in the election of members of Congress would
be a dishonorable surrender of principle.
It is not at all probable that we can say any
thing to modify Mr. Stephens’ opinions, and
we certainly are not likely to change our own
npon this point. Where, then, the use of dis-
eturion ? Why, we bold that from first to last
all this business of invading and subjugating
the Southern State*, and compelling them
become an integral part of the United State*
Government against their declared will, was
pieoe cf flagrant usurpation—at war not only
with the Conatitntion, bnt alio with the grand
underlying principle upon which it was founded
—that all rightful government rest* on the con
sent of the governed.
Nevertheless, we, like everybody else, yielded
to the stress of circumstances. We took the
amnesty oath and then went and voted for
representative in the Congress of the United
State*. Did we then btscly surrender onr
principles? Did we then, *a Mr. Stephens
phrases it, “in the slightest degree bow the knee
to Bial ?" If so, we may well say with Naaman,
the Syrian minister, when be went into the
House cf Bimmon, “the Lord pardon thy aer-
vant in this thing."
It certainly was not done alone-or in a corner,
bnt with a great multitude, all of whom did the
same, and we have not heard that Sir. Stephens
raised a word of protest against it. Well, then,
let ns admit, for the sake of the argument, that
we have gotten thus far wilbont shame, dishonor
or a dastardly sacrifice of principle. We re
newed our aliegtanoo to the United States by
mere force of oompnlaion—we have abandoned
the right to a government of our own choice
upon mere compulsion—we have abolished sla
very on compulsion—wo have abjured secession
on oompnlaion—we have repudiated onr Con
federate debts on oompnlaion, and now we are
abont to go into the election of United States
Senators and Representatives on compulsion.
Still wo are all right,sp far—wo have not “in the
slightest degreo bowed the knee to Baal." So
far onr legs and onr honor are all straight.
Bnt now cornea tho difficulty. Tho Federal
Government declares an amendment enforcing
certain qualifications on onr Senators and Rep
resentatives in Congress, and the whole ques
tion of “bowing tho knee to Baal" rests npon
compliance or non-compliance with this amend-
Mr. Stephens saves his honor by voting
without regard to these amendments, bnt the
Teleorapb is morally rained because, oonsid
ering the whole thing of a piece front first to
last, he insists that if we ore going to elect Rep
resentatives st all, it is better to vote for a man
who can take bia seat in Congress rather than
for one who cannot.
Mr. Stephens will pardon ns if we fail to nee
how the point of honoT arises jnst where he has
placed it andnotagreat deal behind thatspoL If
we conld, in respect to the necessities of the ci
and to procure representation in Congress and
protection under tho government, yield np so
ninob, how arises that fata) necessity of stopping
jnst short of the point where onr concessions
become of practical utility ? If we can vote for
Congressmen at all, how happens it that we con
vote only for those who can't be admitted ?
But we must do so, says Mr. Stephens, in or
der to wear ont Congress and tho amendment—
break them down as Wilkes did the Parliament
of Great Britain. In that warfare unfortunately
the conditions of defeat are all on onr fcido. The
Radicals will grow fat on onr contumacy, while
we may ahnt ourselves ont of all voico in Con
gress for half a century.
What Bays common sense? Conform tocir-
enmstancifi. Submit to what you cannot re
sist—just as we have done from 18&> np to this
present hour. Send yonr representatives to
Congress, qualified for seats in that body, and
lot them give their infinonce for the removal
ot all disqualifications as soon as possible.
“A Grave Oiai-ge.”
Under ibis head we published, yesterday, an
extract from a speech made by Colonel Joseph
Hodgson, st the meeting in Montgomery to do
honor to tbo memory of the murdered Clanton,
which extract was to the effect that he (Clanton)
was assassinated, and implicating in that charge
Capt Tomlinson Fort, formerly of this city,
who introduced Nelson to Clanton. In comment
ing npon Ibis charge, and with special reference
to Capt. Fort, we explicitly stated onr convic
tion that the chargo was, as to him, without
foundation, and wonld bo so provod. The
writer has known Capt Fort for several years,
served in the same regiment with him daring
portion of tho late civil war, and is sure Col.
Hodgson must either be grossly mistaken or
misinformed. Captain Fort’swbole nature and
character, aa known to the writer, forbid his
giving any credence to snch a charge.
Since writing the above, we have found a let
ter from Knoxville in the Atlanta Son, of yes
terday, which wonld seem to show thst the mnr-
der of Gen. Clanton was the result of whisky,
entirely, end nothing else. The letter states
that Nelson had been drinking vciy heavily in
tho morniDg, and became so mnch intoxicated
that he was compelled to go to bed, where he
slept several hours, goiDg ont again late in the
afternoon. The letter also adds that he evi
dently was atili tinder the inflaenoe of liquor
when he met Gen. Clanton. With tefei
his going in searoh of his gnu, and the effect of
liqnor npon bis mind, the letter says:
Whou Col. Nelson left Col. Fort and Gen.
Clanton, after the latter bad alerted for the
middle of the street, ha went into the saloon in
qnest of n pistol, which he failed to obtain.
He, however, found in the saloon a gentleman
who is book-keeper in s store, the rear of which
jots almost against that of the saloon, and in
which store was a loaded double-barrelled ehot-
gnn belonging to himself. Ho demanded bis
gnu, bnt was informed that the store was closed
and the gun not accessible. The Colonel per
emptorily demanded bia gun notwithstanding-
saying he would have it, if be had to stave in
the door. Not knowing why he wanted it, and
not willing to incur his anger, the book-keeper
oonsented to open the door, which he did. The
Colonel entered the store, found his gun and
started again for the saloon through the rear
yard. Tbo book-keeper and two other frieods
endeavored to pacify him, bnt he threatened
them if they obstructed his passage. He passed
into, and directly through the saloon, ont the
front door, down two steps, across the pave-
ment to the curb-stone, rested his gun and fired.
All was the work of not so long time aa it takes
to relate it It is believed thst not more than
ten minutes elapsed between the introduction
of the parties and the fatal discharge.
His mind, especially when under the infla-
• nee of liqnor, seemed to be constantly dwell
ing npon military exploit*, illustrative of per
sonal powers. On snch occasions be was ex
ceedingly zealous of the reputation he had Re
quired as a man of personal courage. To what
extent the time and circumstances in the pres
ent ease operated npon him in this direction, it
is not proper now to discuss. The affair was
in its inception—originating in mutual
error* The friends of Col Nelson are greatly sur
prised and shoeked at his condnet in the proenr-
ng, and the way and manner of using the shot
gun, and which is intensified in his escape, «s
giving color to a purpose of which they are not
willing to believe him guilty.
A Herald Reporter Interviews r.ra. linn-
cock—What lie Snjs Abont Briar » Pres
idential Candidate.
A Herald reporter has recently interviewed
Gen. Hancock at Brainard, Minnesota, at which
point are located, we suppose, the headquarters
of the department Gen. H. commands. He baa
this to ray of the General'* personal appear
ance, at present:
I think be has grown stouter since the days
of ’<54, when aotive servioe and daily artillery
and infantry drills gave ns but little opportunity
to add to onr avoirdnpois. The respite from
constant anxiety and incessant toil in the tented
field has told with good effect in the person or
General Hancock, and to-day be presents every
evidence of aonnd health and a contented spirit.
Discipline, I believe, will not allow of discon
tent, and soldiera most, perforce, be contented
whether they will or not. The jaunt^oatee
and mtutaehe of olden day*—ahghtly frosted
now—still adorn thst rather heavy face, and ha
reminds one more cf the Third Napoleon-
minus the French cunning and dull, treacherous
eye—any man of eminence that I can call
to mind. I judge his ago to bo fifty, possibly
Rfty-two, and bis weight above two hundred.
Upon the point cf being a candidate for Pres
ident, he delivered himself as follows:
Reporter—You are, of course, aware thst
your name has been freely mentioned as a can
didate for tho Presidency."
General Hanooek—Yes; I am alive to what is
transpiring around me; but, to be frank, it doe.
thst interest that people probably j zenith of bia nobly endowed life, one so useful,
assured. 1
My position in the army is
I can confidently look to the future, I think, for
further honors; for it is poadble that in tho doe
coarse or event* my tore will eooe. I have
been in the army thirty years, and at my time
of life it is a little let* to seek a new field of
action. To be gore I wonld be complimented
by any evidence of partiality on tho part
Pennsylvania; it is my native State, and I
glad to be honored st her hands; it is * matter
of State pride. I wonld deem it a compliment
—nothing more.
Reporter—Am I wrong, then, in supposing
yon have no aspirations with regard to thePres-
General Hanooek—Well, I think that there
no man in the oountry to day that can afford
ignore snch a gift, coming from the people.
Reporter—Yoa have, I believe, expressed yonr
politidhl views on different occasions ?
General Hancock—Yes, I have; bnt not be
cause I had any desire to mingle in politioa or
be thongfat a politician. Whatever views I may
have expressed were my sentiments with regard
to the nutation; I waa a war democrat; I am
now a conservative. I waa anxious to retain the
esteem of the republicans—radicals—but my
course in New Orleans, unfortunately, made me
lose it I was forced into a position there in
which I had to assume a con re* of action that
was bound to make me sacrifice the esteem
either party. I did not suooeod in pleasing the
radicals.

The Savannah News learns thst John IE
Gould, tho defaulting revenue oollector of that
district is in Washington instead of being dead,
as has been reported, and thst he is preparing
n statement of hia little irregularities.
Darien is getting to bo a regular nest of negro
brigands, who rob and assault white people
with perfeet impunity, owing to the fact that
all the officials are negroes, chief among whom
is that old scoundrel Tonis Campbell, who ought
to be in tho penitentiary. The Brunswick Ap
peal relates the following as among the latest
outrages down there:
A few days since, an Englishman, named
Sweet, a seafaring man, who had served asmste
of the vessel which brongbt him to this ooun-
try, went to Darien to take the steamer for Sa
vannah. Reaching the wharf several hoars be
fore the boat wonld arrive, bo deposited hia
baggage in a warebonso and' proceeded to seek
a place to aloep. A negro, with assumed po
liteness and oourtesy, readily undertook to con
duct him to a hoarding honae. Having pro
ceeded but a short distance, he was suddenly
attacked by bis guide and two other negroes,
who emerged from a thicket or some other place
which furnished concealment, throttled, thrown
down and robbed of all his money, abont forty
dollars, which he had on his person, besides
valuable papers, including certificates of nation
ality, efficiency, etc. He promptly applied to
the notorious Campbell for a warrant for the ar
rest of tbo robbers, one at least of whom, be
knew. That official professed to be creatly
shoeked by the perpetration of snch a flagrant
ontrage, and an earnest desire to have the cul
prits arrested, bnt while making these profes
sions the tardiness with which tho warrant was
prepared, indicated that this zeal for the preser
vation of order and the exeention of the laws was
assumed for a purpose, and that the officer in
tended, by bis delay, to give the offenders an
opportunity to escape. The result confirmed
the suspicion, for, when the warrant was
leDgth issnod. tho arresting officer conld not
find tbo accused, and althoogh one of them,
Flemming, we believe, by name, was seen walk
ing abont tho place next morning, no effort was
made to arrest him.
In the other case the presumption of com.
plicity is even stronger against tho official. Some
weeks since, tho house of Mr. O. L. Girvan, of
this city, was entered and robbed and the rob
bery traced to one Jim Demere, a negro, with
sufficient certainty to warrant Ms arrest. Jim
escaped the vigilance of the officers and went to
Darien. A few days since, Mr. Girvan went in
pursuit, had him arrested by the negro Sheriff
of McIntosh county, and lodged in jail, to await
the arrival of the steamer to convey him to
Brunswick. Tho imprisonment was effected
abont noon, or dinner time, and ono sentinel sta
tioned st the jail, which was locked by the Sher
iff and tho key put in his pocket. _ There being
a large crowd of negroes abont the jail at the time
the prisoner was incarcerated, Mr. G. remon
strated with the sheriff as to the insufficiency
of his guard, bnt was assured by that officer, in
the moat confident manner, that the guard waa
snffieient and the nrisoner conld not escape. To
wards evening, Mr. Girvan proceeded to tho
jail to see if arrangements were being mado to
convey the prisoner to the boat far transporta
tion to Brunswick. He found tho door of the
jail which the Sheriff bad locked and the key of
which he bad. open, and both prisoner and guard
gone. -Mr. G. was then met by the Sheriff and
Reeled with the remark, “jnst' what yon said
iss como true,"and thus ended this farcical
pretense to execute the taws.

Wesleyan Female College—Meeting
of Executive Committee.
At a meeting of the Executive Committee of
the Board ot Trurteea of the Wesleyan Female
College, attended by other Trustees who were
carnally in the city, E. H. Myere, H. L. Jewett
and B. F. Boss were appointed a committee to
draft re solution a expressing the sense of the
Board in respect to the recent bereavement of
the Collage in the death of Dr. John M. Bon-
nell, which dnty was performed aa folisws:
W* are bereaved, indeed. The loss to our
selves ia that of * cherished friend. Bnt not
cars alone the loss. The oommnmty has lost a
pattern of domestic, civil and social virtues;
the State s wise eminent, public-spirited in
structor ; the Church ■ faithful minister, a lofty
example of Christian parity, one of her most
gifted and highly honored servant*. The sud
den, stunning blow has fallen cn many hearts,
and we are left to marvel st that Providence
which thus removes at a stroke, and in the
so beloved, so seemingly needful to society and
to the church.
But God is good ; and he never tows evil bnt
thst it may grow and blossom into good. So we
accept this dispensation. One more pare life
is ended—one more triumphant spirit is added
to the victors over earthly eviL We weep and
we rejoice. We see the way he went—we mark
the sorrow with which the honor and love of a
community committed “dost to dost, ashes to
ashes,” and we interpret the tribute as given
a life which, in Christian humility and unosten
tatious goodness, was devoted to Christ and His
church—and seeing this, we take courage and
follow on—hoping for a life as pure and an end
as hopeful as those of onr departed friend.
In this testimonial we express onr sympathy
with the ooUege of which he was the honored
head—with bis sorrowing oolsborere in the
work of education—with the community thst
loved him—with the church of which he was
an ornament, and especially with his bereaved
wife and children, towards whom we would
express our tanderest sympathies, and for whom
we wonld supplicate the sustaining communion
of the God of the widow and the Father of the
/itlierlMfl.
On the representation of the Faculty to
Executive Committee that the interests of
Institution demanded some action immediate],
on the part of the committee, to give the
lege a full board of instruction, after due delib
eration, the following resolutions were unani
motuly adopted:
Resolved. By the Executive Committee of
