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.

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 flation to be present at the marriage of Mr. Henry W ; Grady, of Ure Rome Commercial, to Miss Julia King, of Athena, which will take place in the Method!* Cbnrci in that place to morrow evening, at half p*.t „ Eht o eJook . We cannot aecept the Invitation and offer our eon- gratnlatiooa in paraon, bat we none the lea heartily wish the yoongeoapb aa immensity of blise and a sunny journey through Ufa. j t u not every man, and especially every editor, Um can ally himself with a King's daughter, so Grady moat put off some of Ms Bohemian srays and stand more on his dignity. Especially do wo charge him to quit “napping" Whidby. Wesexxan Fejxaee Oozueob.—The Executive Committee of the Wesleyan Female College yeaterday elected Dr. O. h. Smith, of Colnm- bus, Ga., to the Presidency left vacant by the 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 GEORGIA I'HESS The Atlantic and Golf Railway passed the Savannah fireman, free, over its road, to the convention that meets here to-day. Mrs. Harris, widow of the late Lewis F. Har ris, of Savannah, died at Manchester, N. H. last week, aged G5 years. She left a targe for. tone, with many liberal bequests to various charitable institutions. A tad named George White, ont gunning near Savannah, on Saturday afternoon, shot himself through the hand, so severely as necessitate amputation of the arm. The Germania Fire Company, of Savannah, inaugurated their new hall Monday, with appro priate It is proposed in Savannah to organize a com pany for tho purpose of manufacturing the “Olmstead safety latch,” and the Sewing Machine rocker”—both very valuable inventions by gentlemen of that city. The quarantine regulations recently in force at Savannah, aa regards Beaufort, S. C., have been removed. 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. Another candidate for Mayor of Atlanta has popped up. This makes only twenty-nine, with three wards to hear from. The Atlanta Georgian svnopsizea the local sitnation as follows: Events.—Two men, under the inflaenoe of benzine. snatched each other bald yesterday. Scene—Deeatur street Time—Two o’olock. Dog fighting numerous on the outskirts of the city, and the colored troop* raise much dust on the holy Sabbath. A Justice of the reace fines the wiong man ten dollars. Bullock will return to Atlanta next Friday— so the Court Journal says. Mr. George Schaffer, of Atlanta, was thrown from a buggy, on Monday, and had an ankle badly sprained and cut. The Atlanta Constitution, of yesterday, has these real estate items: Glenn A Weight's Cook A Cheek yesterday bought the two-third interest of Glenn A Wright in their warehouse st $23, subject to liens amounting to $38,000 or $40,000. Handsome Pnortrs. — James’ Bank Block building, on Whitehall street (not quite com pleted) will cost $70,000. He has rented the stores and rooms ont for $14,000, or 20 per cent on the investment. The Constitution says: Religious.—It is cheering intelligence that cornea to ns from St Patti's and EJgewood Methodist Churehea. Sunday morning Rev. G. H. Pattillo received twenty members st Edge- wood, and at night thirty at St. Paul's. Forty were baptized on Snnday, and ten immersed.— This makes an increase of seventy-five mem bers in the past two weeks. Tho meeting still The trial of Foster Blodgett for chesting and swindling, which was to have taken plane at Atlanta, on Monday, has been postponed until Sstnrdty. CoL James D. Stewart, a prominent lawyer Griffin, was ordained a minister of the Baptist Church, last Sunday. The Atlanta Sun, of yesterday, makea the following announcement: Wtjhdbawn.—We are informed that Hon.

Underwood have withdrawn from the prosecution of oases where parties have been charged with frands and em bezzlements in connection with the manage ment cf theState Road, under their late engage- ent Mr. Jeff.

Bear Creek station on the Macon and Western Railroad is to havs a telegraph office, with Mr. Arnold Maxwell as operator. Mr. James Eppinger, one of the oldest and most honored citizens of Pike county, died last Saturday, aged nearly nicety years. 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.
