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.

The entire proceed" ingrt that arc to to How will be u mere mockery, and tho prediction 1* bufe that every man who la bronght to trial v:!l be convicted* .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.

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.

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 ainoe. We find the following first rate advertise ment of the two Conleys in yesterday's Atlanta Constitution: Tnx Coulees.—Goorgia has a dynasty of Conleys now in the imperial chair.

He signalizes legislation of the stigma of repudiation npon a more act of inqniry into tho condition of our distressed finances. Conley, (ho son, is a United States Commis sioner, and uses his authority to over-ride the sacred writ of habeas carpet, and imprison in nuoent men without bail in ignominious con finement.

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.
