Tbs Senior of tbs Tn-tosim **» "
ctn ban grsst experience in pwWons—reswn
nby? He 1ms many mouth* to foed. Even be
yond buying provision* be bee bed experience,
bet as il was not very suooaesfol. there is no
other nee In talking about the enbjeot. except
to aay that hU information is «nre and certain.
With the best Ugbta before him. be toys that
the green grocery tre<le in Kacon is a little
\ron» jb.n bnying a ticket in a lottery, in res
pect to profile. He donWa whether any of the
people who bring tnrkeye, chicken", beef and
mutton from East Tonuosaoo, and fish and oja-
tor* from the coact to tbie market, ever ehow,
in the long run, n reasonable balance to credit
on their lodgers—end be U oeitain they never
cbow ea much aa they ought, io reason, to ehow.
The greet difficulty is fir treacherous cfutrac-
>er of the etiolate. The grocer In Maooo reasons
i bo* within himself: I most make my establish-
mont attractite, end in order to do to I moat
provide myself from abroad (alee, bow little
■ here test home) with aa many current table
ouppliee as possible. Accordingly Mr. Grocer
traverses the whole circmnference to carry out
Us plans. He permeates East Tennessee and
provides for dressed turkeys, chickens, ducks,
pigs, sausage meet, beef, pork and mutton. He
contracts in Savannah, Charleston and Florida
for oysters, crabs, shrimps and Cali of all kinds,
aa well also for the earliest vegetables. And if
it were eimply receiving tboeo supplies st their
shipping prices and transferring them to con
unman, at Maoon prices, the business would be
very aatinfaetory. Dot, unluckily, that is not
one-hal) of tho matter. The oontinual and por-
i,intent cone of the business is, tho treaehory
of the climate, which frequently make" ship
ments in whole or part a dead loss.
The grooerw of Macon generally have their
engegementa ont at 15 cents per pound for
cbickses delivered, and 20 cents for turkeys.
These are retailed at 2P« :io cents, which would
be e good profit, if U were merely to buy end
deliver. But unluckily, between a freezing
temperature end e temperature which will spoil
fresh meats as quickly aa in dog days, ibero is
commonly in Macon nn interval short of 48
hours, end tho waste is so onormous that whole
invoice* are frequently swept from tho list of
eaeets. Vie know this lo be frequently the ease
with respect to ell froih meats, game, poultry,
and fish, and K must be a very active end care
fol management indeed, which will "bow e bal
ance lo credit over these losses.
A year or two ego the Macon grocers under
took to make a surer business by direeling these
shipments of drtnsod poultry to tic salted, but
the troth 1», salted poultry for the usee of the
table la about se available aa sole leather, end
we took the responsibility of killing that ar
rangement. On the whole, if the Macon gro
cers can make a dean balance sheet under this
head, with prices es they stand, wo consider
them fortunate. Aa to whet Augusta is doing
on tnrkeya at If. cents a pound, we easume that
it is a more casual glut, and amounts lo nothing.
If by keeping on hand a good variety of oboice
table meals the Macon grocer can square bis
accounts, and contribute band tomely to hie
trade tn tho general range of standard groceries,
that is the best ho can promise himself—that is
all he will get—Ibat is ell bo thinks of
pitching by supplying hie customer with fresh
meets. We say this muoh, beeause we know our
friend of the loeal ran off the track yesterday.
He did not know what we know to bo ths truth
in the premises.
The only any for u country to get cheep
provielona it to rauti thtm. When the farmers
Georgia will bring their turkevs and chlck-
ona lo oontiguona markets by thousands, all
alive end fluttering, the farmers oan get a good
pries and the grooen at II on small margin io
profit. It is Impossible to do it, where their
order* ere Ailed .100 miles awsy, end tho meals
ere constantly subjected to the weather vicissi
tudes of tho latitude of Macon.

do It, if they went peace and prosperity here

Poos Tax aa: —A special Washington dispatch

After having been cursed with sneh a Governor

and tho prediction 1* bufe that every man who

.Should the l'lantcra lee fertilizer*?
It is difficult to sec how any other than an
affirmative neponso can be made to this in-
Objectloni to:plant stimulants arc equal
ly eppBeaUe to all' descriptions of manures.
Two years ago, the writer burnt np a promis
ing field of corn, by using cotton seed too
freely. And yet this is considered par excel,
tenet, the very best fertilizer for the cereals.
In Liberty eonnty also, some seventeen year*
since, be btnled ont end spread upon the list
or ridge, just beneath the seed, tieentyeight
two-bone wagon loads per acre of well rotted
.i.Kle manure, which had never been exposed
en hour to the weather. The cotton came np
sleek and vigorous, and grow off finely. But
marked the sequel. A drought of ten weeks
duration eet in in June, end the plant neTer
reached a greater altitude then 2j fsek
examination of the Lille revealed the fact, that
the manure remained in a perfectly dry, inso-
loble state, end had rather injured thou bone-
fitted the crop.
If e pumpkin seed was planted on, or by the
■ids of the barn-yard dong hill, and copious
rain* *nd n dripping season snoeeeded, tho
growth would ha like Jonah's gourd, and “some
pumpkins'" astonish the native*. But let the
almost vertical sun of this low latitude beam end
beet upon tho creeping giant, for long weeks,
and its anaconda folds would shrivel up end col
lapse, end “ nary” pumpkin will reward the
expectant sower. But who doubts the value and
efficacy of good farm-yard manure ?
y/o lay down the postulate then, that just in
proportion that any given fertilizer abounds in
ammonia, potash, phosphatio elements, or other
plant food, will be the ratio of benefit or injury
that iuurts, under certain conditions, to the
growing crop.
Wet seasons prodace astounding results; pro
tracted drought will blest the over-stimulated
vegetation, and evaporate tha turning asp which
gives vitality to its exuberant growth. The
conclusion thou is obvious. Cease to oondemn
your guano, which, if it did not act in the man
ner described, would be spurious and valueless,
and learn to apply it to your lands judiciously,
both with respect to quality and the character
of your soil.
Used in combination with long, or unrotted
manure as an absorbent, the effects will be
more permanent, and the bnrning principle less
concentrated. It is safe to say that 125 pounds
per acre of any standard preparation, may pro
duce very satisfactory results in ordinary
■ons, and in (he event of drouth will not blight
the crop. Applied in Urge quantities the plan
ter must take the risk, which aa baa been shown
is not greater than with barn-yard manures or
oomposh
Bnt we will reserve for another article onr
views aa to the quantity employed, and the best
mode of applying commercial manure. The
present objeot of the writer is to urge the con
tinued nee of these plant stimulants.
The country is now cursed with a system of
Ubor, ignorant, intolerant, and unreliable. The
freodman is a creature of to day only. He will
undertake no job where the retnrns ere not in
sienteneone. Hence the fences of the country
ere rotting down, corn cribs in a tottering con
dition, and the farmer has no heart to plan end
execute improvements in the future. We
eu Altamaha rice planter reoenliy, whose plan
tation was stocked with negro Uliorers, taking
out from Savannah with him a fores of Irish
men to open the ditches, oonstruot trunks, end
prepare the way for the summer work of the
gentlemen of color.
In Liberty eounty where the soil is alluvial
and generally rcqniree drainage, the negroes,
who are master* of the situation, cannot be in
dueed lo open the canals and vents to the
swamps end croaks, but eke out e miserable ex
istence upon tho worn ont, end nut grass in
tested bills and old fields. Tho bottoms, teem
ing with fertility, aro fast relapsing into their
original slate.
For*imilar reasons, experience has shown
that undor the system of joint cultivation which
so generally obtains, the freedman cannot lie
depended npon to collect and mannfaetnre ma
nure on the plantation, even when, aa U seldom
(ko oawt, enn lUfilciliaLi see** •» L—I-4..4,
how many farms have we seen where the clean
ing* of the stable remain from year to year, be
came Sambo won't do the extra work needful,
to apply the precious substance to the barren
soil.
The only salvation of the country, then, from
sterility, end the oomtant diminution of agri-
eultural products, is to be found in the intolli
gent use of conoentnted commercial manures.
At this important crisis a wise Frovidanoe has
revealed the rich and almost inexhaustible de
posits of animal petrifactions, abounding in phos-
phatio matter, ia the delta of two of the riven of
stistor Bteto. A vast array of evidence both at
home and abroad has demonstrated the incalcu
lable value of these mineral phosphates for ag
rienltunl purposes, when dried, ernshed and
properly treated with acid and ammonia to ren
der soluble and available their latent virtue.
Already many millions of capital are invested
for this purpose, end healthy and active compe
tition will effectually guarantee the publlo
against fraudulent adulterations. The struggle
even now begins to assume the form of who
shall furnish the rioheat compound at the low
est price.
The me of these fertilizers, then, under the
new regime of labor, will prove an urgent and
growing necessity with the planter*. Oar up
laud* *11 require manure, rest, and rotation of
crops, to proservs them from running down
and reducing the proprietors to beggary. This
fact ia the more patent from the present rninom
rates of taxation.
We advise onr agricultural friends then, to
post themselves as to the constituent elements
of the soil they cultivate, and after ascertaining
ite peculiar properties and deficiencies, bny
such stimulants as are beet adapted to their
wants.
We propose hereafter to write epon the best
method of applying these fertilizers, the quan
tity to be used, etc., ea derived from personal
experience. Time and apeoa forbid any farther
elaboration of the subject at present.
Tlie South's ICevcngo.
The New York Journal of Commerce says the
South is taking philosophical revenge on her
political hater* by holding agricultural eon
greases. If many of her ablest citizen* cannot
be allowed the privilege of voting and bolding
offioe, and so contributing to the general publio
good, they can at least make the men of Wash
ington feel bad by showing the tranquility of
disabled Southerner* under such circumstances.
Partisans have their Coogross at the capital,
where they can wrangle over the division of the
spoils, and plan new ways for reducing the
Sooth to political nonentity; but the people of
that region find their solace in ooogreaseea of
quite another end more innocent variety, where
the prises ere for pumpkins and other gigantie
vegetables, end the eloquenoe of men finds its
loftiest flights in explaining the pattern of e new
worm fence, or the latest thing in churn*. For
every political eenvention held at the North,
the Sooth responds, es if by malice prepense,
with a "Fair” or “Exhibition." end now, to
exasperate Kadi cal jam to on unbearable de
gree, it holds a fall blown Agricultural Can-
At this gathering nearly all the South
ern States are represented. Even South Caro
line, berried in s pert of her territory by
Federal troops, keep* calm enough to despatch
number of'delegatee to Selma, where the
tsroaJic body meets. For several day*, proba
bly, the Agricultural Congress will present
the maddening spectacle of Southerners talking
enraoetly over the merits of rival cucumber*,
as if far th* express purpose of shoveling coals
of fire an the heed* of Bsdisel law-makerv at
Washington. The very name- Congress—it is
perceived, must be intended for a satire on the
other concern; the reel object being, all the
time, to contrast the coolness end peace of the
one with the beet and fury of the other.
Coder sneh an enormous provocation, we may
look for the offer of intendment* to the Ku-
klux tot to make it more severe. Sach audacity
must be punished.

The Chronicle and Sentinel of Thursday,
Sricrz Bonexar—Tax Truer Auxstto nr i
IUilwat CoxcrcTO* - On last Tuesday night,
when the down train from Macon to Angnsta
reached Culvertou, a negro men informed the
conductor, Mr. Thomas Turner, that a heavy
robbery had been perpetrated in Hancock
eonnty that afternoon, end the robber might
get en the train at some of the station", and try
to reach Augusta. He "toted that Mr. Wm.
Dickson, who resided a short distance from the
town of Sparta, had been the sufferer, and
that he lost about three thousand dollar".
Some time after this the train reached the de
pot at Warrenton, and a negro man got on end
took e seat in the second class car. When the
conductor went to him to collect hie fere he
paid it in specie, end stated that he wished to
oome to Augusta. This end olhercirenmatenees,
led the conductor to believe that this passenger
was the thief of whom he had beard at Culverton.
He determined to await awhile, however, before
making en arrest, end did welt until the train
reached e point between Saw Dost and Dearinp.
when he took him in custody. The negro gave
his name as BnaveU Warren, and confessed his
guilt aa soon es be was arrested. He wee
searched end two begs containing gold and sil
ver were fonnd secreted on his person. When
the train reached this city, Mr. Turner tamed
bis prisoner end the money over to Ibe police.
The contents of the bsgs were counted yester
day afternoon. One contained one hundred
end three dollars and twenty-five cents in direr,
end thirty-nine dollar! in gold coin. The other
contained thirty-nine dollars in gold—making
in all one hundred and eighiy-one dolleis ant
twenty-five cento in specie.
The thief will be held to await the action
Mr. Dickson. He claims to be from Charleston,
and wont to Henoock to visit his wife, who lives
in that county, in tho employment of Mr. Dick
son. He says that he was secreted near the
house for some time, wailing an opportunity to
perpetrate the robbery. On Monday, just after
dinner, Mr. Diekaon and his wife left the plan
tation in a bnggy, and be then saw the chance.
He entered the house and took the tin box, con
taining the money, from a bed room. He made
hie eaoapo undetected, and retired to the woods,
where he opened and rifled the box. After
wards he made bis escape to Warrenton, in
tending to take the train there, and go on to
Charleston.
A good size chunk of a rovj occurred Wednes
day afternoon, at tho Upper Cotton Press at
Savannah, between two or three white men and
over one hundred negroes. It commenced
with e fight between a white man ar.d e negro,
which was taken np by some of the letter's
friends, one of whom advanced on the watch
men of the ytrd with a cotton-hook, and was
allot and mortally wounded by the watchman.
We find in the Savannah News of Thursday,
a long account of e bloody affair, which hap
pened at Station 8$, in AppUng county, on
the Macon and Brunswick Railroad one day
last week, tho parties thereto being Matt
Aahley, of Coffee eonnty, a well-known and
wealthy citizen of that eonnty, and two
brothers named Robert and Bryant Williams,
of Appling county, which resulted in the death
of Robert Wiliiamr, and the serions wounding
of his brother. A feud has existed between
the parties for many years. After tho BhooUng,
Ashley jumped into a buggy with tbo Sheriff
of Ooffoe county and has not been heard of

We find the following first rate advertise

Conley, (ho son, is a United States Commis

Telegraph Company Interviewed,
A reporter of the Chicago Times recently in-
torviewed non. Wm. Orton, President of the
Western Union Telegraph Company, and we
print below what Mr. Orton says as to tho power
of the Federal Government to compel the tele
graph companies to sell their lines:
Reporter—Can the government compel the
companies to sell, should they refuse to do so
voluntarily ?
Mr. Orton—Yes. Government has the power
to to do.
Reporter—On wbat legal basis?
Mr. Orton—In I8G6 there was a law passed by
Congress which conferred npon telegraph com
panies, organized nnder State laws, all the rights
of s corporation created by Congress, so far as
it conld confer them. The law also gave the
companies the right to build their lines through
the several States, on certain conditions. These
conditions were that the companies fits their
acceptance of certain provisions of tho act, one
of which was that the government should have
the right to purchase any or all these lines at
the expiration of five year*, if it chose so to do.
This term expires with the present year. Tho
Western Union and every other telegraph com
pany filed their assent. Hitherto the compa
nies bad been State corporations, and were only
mitted to run their lines through another
to than their own by sufferance. This act
gave them the right to go where they pleased in
any State of the Union. The benefits of such
an set were too gnat to be lost. Therefore the
risk of being bought ont was taken. I little
thought, at that time that the government would
ever dream of going into the business.
Reporter—On what terms was the sale to be
effected ?
Mr. Orton—Five appraisers were to be ehosen
three by the government and two by the com,
panics. Their award was to decido the matter.
Reporter—Then yon ere at the mercy of tho
government ?
Mr. Orton—Yea j it can appoint appraisers
at any time.
Democratic Strength,
The New York 8uu, in ite anxiety to encour
age the Democracy to beat Grant, presents this
view of the case:
The popular majority for Gen. Grant in 1868
aa 309,588, Virginia, Mississippi and Texaa not
voting at all, and Florida choosing electors by
the Legislature. How small this seemingly
Urge majority really is, will be apparent when
we graduate it by a scale which the mind oan
readily comprehend. In round numbers, the
Presidential veto in 1868 was 5,800,000, and
Grant's majority 310,000. This, on s reduced
scale, is saying that in a vote of ISO his majori
ty was 31. If, for example, in that township or
Westchester county where ties the domain of
Chappaqna, the Republicans should, after
fierce ooatest in which 580 votes were given,
elect e Supervisor by barely 31 majority, would
not Dr. Greeley be justified tn insisting that it
the Republicans hoped to maint.in their su
premacy in that town their Supervisor must bo
lave himself ? And this ia the precise position
in which the figure* of 1868 piece Gen. Grant.
Unfortunately, the present Congrees, over
whelmingly Radical, represents s considerable
minority of the popular vote. The people may
beet Grant half a million votes, end he atiU be
elected by on eleotoriel majority. However, we
Will cast all the Demecratio votes against him,
no matter whet comes of it.

Tula determination bee beau pending for some
