WEDNESDAY MORNING, JAN. 29. 1873.
THE GEORGIA PRESS.
The Talbot ton Manager la the very strange
name of a now weekly jest started at that place
by J. W. Chapman. With a “Standard” to
rally to, and a “ llantgrr" to keep them in
order the people over there will doubtless, enc
ored in keeping ont of mischief.
Mr. E. 8. Remington, an Express Messenger
on the Allantio 4 Golf railway fnmlshes the
the Savannah News the following extraordinary
statement s
I left Savannah as nsnal, at 4s» r. ** • nd
nothing extraordinary oocarred nntil after pass
ing Live Oak, Fla. At this plaoe I met the
messenger boned for Qainey, and checked off
freight and mooay. I then loosed my safe and
pat the key In my pocket. At Welborn I felt
for my key, as it was necessary for me to opoa
the safe, and eoold not And it I aearohed
everywhere and emptied my pockets of every
thing and pot them in the desk, bnt the key
eonldnot be fonnd. I then took off ooat and
west and shook them, bat with no better tnc-
eeaL I gave np the search, concluding that
the key was lost, and that I would have to force
tbs safs open. 8ix miles below Like City,
while sitting st my stove, tho train moning at
Its regular speed, I saw the key fall in front of
me, striking near my feet. There was no pos
sibility of any one throwing the key into the
csr, as the train was in rapid motion.
Tbs next night on the return trip from Jack
sonville, between atation 10 and 10J, on the
Atlantic and Golf Railroad. I was lying down
on my packing cheat and safe, when directly at
my bend there were three lond, distinct raps.
The train was mnnlcg at the rate of twenty
P.H.. an bonr, and there was no possibility of
any one being secreted in the car. From time
to time for some woeks past tho whole freight
has been apparently, to jndge from the sound,
thrown abont the ear, bnt on examination every
thing was fonnd in state qno. Whistling has
been heard when the noise of the train would
have drowned the bnman voles. I give the
statement of these incidents as (bey oocurred,
and am wilting to mako affidavit to its trothfal-
aesa.
While Mr. P. Giebelhouie and wife, of Sa
vannah, were driving ont on Sunday their horses
took fright and ranaway, throwing both from
tho boggy. It ia feared Mrs. G. has received
fatal internal injury.
Captain Christian Ehimke, of the ship Voltl-
geur, fell over the bluff at Savnnnsb on Satur
day night and was found dead next morning,
the whole left side of his head having been
crushed In.
A Cre at Savannah on Bnnday sight in that
negro settlement known as Ysmacraw, destroyed

for the anrvey of said river, from Albany to tbo
month of the Chattahoochee, reports to ns that
tho distance from Albany to Hainbridgo by
water is oighty miles, with a fall cl one foot to

the opening of the liver beyond Newton; bnt
from Ilninbridgo to that point a favorable re
port will bo mado, and rocommcndingthe Gov
ernment to appropriate fifty thousand dollars
towards removing all obstructions in tho river,
making it navigablo at all times as far np an
Newton. Maples Sbnte and Hell Gate, he
reports ss being the worst points on the river,
bnt the obstructions oan be removed witbonf
much diffloolty. Capt. Hodges left onr oity on
Wedneeday last with his parly to oomplete their
survey to tbo month of th&FUnt.
Communication between Atlanta and Chatta

Mown Should ns I’unmruL.—Under this
head the Columbus Bnc says:
Mukxt Should ns FuwnruL.—There have
been sold to Oolmubns shippers sinee August
31st, 83,684 bales of oolton, wbieb have realised
to planters 93,211,360. The great bulk of the
ootton reoeivod is from a motion within a radins

Good Advick non a Columbus Nzono.—
IX W. Eobolls, a negro of Golnmbue, writes
this abort bat immensely aonslblo letter to tho
Oojnmbns Enquirer:
Columbus, Ga., January 25, 1873.
Mr. Editor—l’leaao allow me spaoe In your
valuable oolnmna fora word io opposition to the
emigration of my oolored friends to the West.
First, we are at homo, and aro acquainted with
Georgia, bnt aro not acquainted with Arkansas
or any other Stato. The Conatitntion gives ns
the same rights hero as it does in any other
State. Lana la as plentiful here os there, and
by industry as good a living oan be made here
as rise where. Then why Icavo onr old homes ?
Why saorifioo our prosent comforts and advan
tages for thoso that wo know not of? Let ns
remain in Georgia and till tho soil, and by pa
lienee, Industry and frugality work onr solva
tion bare, where it has pleased a kind Provi
denoo to call ns. Reapeotfully.
D. W. Echols.
And Goorgo McKinney, of Atlanta, makes
tho following wtso remarks in the Atlanta Con
stitution on tho samo point:
Kditon Conttilution: For the sako of $2 50
many oolored men aro led astray. I am op
posed to the emigration cf tho colored people;
I have watched and noticed what is going on
abont the oar shod. Certain men are at work
there for $2 50 n bead for emigrants. They
roooivo their money, anj what becomes of the
emigrants? They icavo this country for tbo
West, and are dropped all along the road—left
here and there among strnDgers without money
or friends—but aro thrown upon the cold char
ity of tho world. My oolored friends, we had
best remain whore wo are known, and where we
oan make an honest living. I have looked into
tho laws of Georgia and they are good enough
for me and for you. So do not let us run off
to strange places and among strange people
wo eau find enough to do here, and the laws of
Georgia aro juat and equal.

Mr. Marcns L. Roberts, an old resident of
Atlanta, died qaito suddenly Sundsy morning.
And on the same morplng Mrs. Roddy, wife of
Dr. R. L. Roddy, of Forsyth, died at that place
after a lingering illness.
Atlanta Is ont of ooai and howls for the
speedy building of the Georgia Western raff,
way, which will furnish that artiole at fifteen
cents per bushel—against 35 to 40 cents now.
Fioht Errant Fsdxbal KeveXue Raideus
ahd Iluchj Durmxua —Tho Constitution of
yesterday says:
On Saturday morning last a number of United
States officials with a number of men, having
charge of some prisoners nnder arrest for it-
licit distilling, stopped at the bonse cf a Mr.
Strickland, in Forsyth county, for breakfast.
While thus engaged, four men passed the house,
Deputy Marshal Blacker, seeing them pass, re
cognised in the party passing, a man against
whom there was a warrant, ran ont aooompa-
cied by the party with him and ordered the
man to atop, telling him cf the warrant. Be
failed to do so; on the oontrary alt four of the
men took to their heels and ran into a skirt cf
woods, or boshes, some twenty or more yards
distant. Upon reaching the boshes, they fell
np ou their knees and commenced firing epos
the Marshal and his party, who were ad
vancing. The fire was returned by tho petty
of the Marshal, and between the two parties
some seventy-five shots were exchanged. Io
the firing Deputy Marshal Blacker received a
ball in the side, just above the hip. The wound
ed man was carried to Camming. At the time
of this writing the ball had not been extracted.
Daring the fight one of the party in the boshes,
against whom there was a writ, was shot and
killed. His name is Ira Hansford. The sup
position of the United States Deputy Marshal
u that the .party of four men who passed Mr.
Strickland's house, did not meditate an attack
upon them at tha house, but that their inten
tion was to reach some [Mint ahead on the road,
beyond Mr. Strickland's, and then, if possible,
to roacco tho prisoners.
WHXH TH* PZXXSYLVAXIA Oil Srnixos WEST
tout Ducotxxxd.—A foil century ago, tbo ex
istence of oil springs in Western Pennsylvania
was a published and well established fact. In
the Massachusetts Mtgtzine, published in 1780,
we find the following m relation to them :
In the northern part of Pennsylvania there is
a oreek called OU creek, which empties into the
Allegheny river. It issues from a spring on the
t p of which fiesta an oU, similar to that called
li ubadoos tar, and from which one may gather
■ veral gailona a day. Tbo troops sent to guard
the Western poets halted at this spring, collec
ted some of the oil and bathed their joints with
it. This gave them great relief from the rhen-
m ism with which they were tffl eted. The
w ir, of which the troops drank freely, oper
ated as a gentle purge.
1 here is still earlier evidence of the existence
of Ute oU springs than this. It is found in an
old book published in 17.'-', entiUcd "iroviis
in North America," by Peter Kalm. On a map
In this ancient volume the exact location of the
pll spring is given.—Dayton Democrat.
Western and Atlantic Railroad.
We heir ranch of the Immense business which
this road ia reported to be doing tho present
season, and it is roendiy asserted that the
lessees are deriving a prinoely income from the
profl’s. So long as they osntinne to meet their
engagement* with the Bute, tnd poor into her
treasury 925,000 per month in lien of the for
mer rnlnons management of the concern, we
are content, even if they do make a good thing
of tbo lease. But there Is just ground for be
lieving that so far the debit side of the acoonnt
prepondera'es grea'Iy.
Few are aware of the vast outlay which was
necessary to put the establishment in working
order again, and retrieve the rain, which, nnder
the Blodgett regime, overshadowed everything.
From the obliging Treasurer, Mr. Morrill, we
learn that the company have made the following
expenditures:
For the eon-traction of 377 new cars...9300,000
Far the oonstraetion of 15 locomotives 180,000
For the construction of CO miles of new
track 300,000
Total .. $780,000
In addition they have been forced to pur
chase in a single year 100,000 cross-ties, and
have spent Urge sums in tbs repair and equip
ment of machine shops and the erection of
depots, bridges, etc. For the Utter in a single
instance was recently paid $22,000. These
figures tell their own story. And when the
$300,000 per annum come] to be added to this
long catalogue of expends, it will be seen that
the margin for profit must dwindle down to
something lees than zero.
But the enterprising lessees, nnder their
astote President, are evidently acting npon the
apothegm “nothing venture, nothing have,"
and we trust will in dne season begin to reap
the fruit of their labors and mnnifioent outlay.
In the meantime the State, and travelling pub
lie, too, are greatly the gainers by tbs lease
the former in the matter of revenae, and the
Utter in the increased sseurity to life and the
facilities of transportation.

ICev. Dr. Xlclntokh.
The history of this exemplary servant of
Christ Lnt verifies the saying of holy writ, that
the Lord loveth whom he chasteneth. It has fallen
tot be lot of very few to have drank so deeply of
the enp of sorrow, and timo and again has he
been called npon to follow to the grave the
loved forms of thoso who belonged to the
charmed circle of his domestic existence.
That these strokes have been keen and poig
nant in tho extreme, no one acquainted with the
inner life of the Doctor, and his intense lave
of home and family joys, will doubt. Twice
within p few weeks has (he pale messenger who
always loves a shining mark, laid his icy
fingers npon tho young and beautiful, and
translated them to another, and we trust,
brighter sphere. Yet the bereaved parent bows
like a bulrush to the divino mandate, and is
ablo to exclaim, “the Lord gave, and the Lord
hath taken away; blessed be His holy name.
In common with the poople of his charge, and
the whole eommnnity, wo can only tender to
thU excellent man of God our heartfelt sympa
thies, in this dark honr of bereavement and sor
row. The writer, an old frieod, knows fall well
the story of his oft repeated afflictions, and
joioes that in him the promise, “I will not leave
you comfortless," has its fruition. To the
Father of all mercies wo commend him for suo-
oor and support.
Bicxjtzas Under Watee.—Wo know generally
that it is not Tory healthy above water just
now, and are sorry to learn it is siokly below.
A negro legisUtor in tho Virginia Honse, the
other day, made a speech oa the oyster tax bUU
in which ho said :
If a man plant fifteen hundred bushels
oysters he is fortnnate if he realize eight hun
dred bnshels therefrom. There is a disease
among oysters known as the green gill which
more destructive to them at timet than the
small-pox would be in this honae (for I believe
everybody has been voooinated). Let ns have
tho old oyster bill rather than this burdensome,
hatsfol, contemptible one.
We are really sorry to learn that the Virginia
oyBtera are in trouble. They are among the
most valuable inhabitants in the Old Domin
ion—quiet, inoffensive, refined in their taste—
rather reserved and close, it Is true, bat sincere
and juicy. If all above water were as good
they are, what an Eden this world wonld be 1
The Cotton Tax Rifunding Bill.—Tho
Washington correspondent of the Oourier-Jour-
nai says:
There is mneh diversion of opinion in the
□ouae Ways aad Means Committee in respect
to the bill to repay theeotton tax, and a portion
ot the committee are hostile to any refunding
measure. Tho difficulty seems to be to get the
subject before the House. Mr. Beck has drawn
a bill which he will endeavor to have reported,
proposing to pay to tho produoers two-thirds of
the tax collected on tho crops produced in
18G6.'and 1867, that proportion having been ex
ported, proof to be taken before commissioners
appointed for each State by tho U. S. Circuit
Courts, and subject to review by a revising
board at Washington. Mr. Beck is of opinion
that this is the only bill which can bo got
through the committee, if any can. It is hoped
that five of the committee can bo induoed to
agree to it, but this is not certain.
In a Bad Case.—Judging from tho following
from the Chattanooga Times, that old political
bawd, Sam Bard, has completely played ont and
has woodbined to parts unknown:
Stato of Tennessee—Chancery Conrt at Chat
tanooga—J. U. Wasson vs. Samuel Bard et. at
—Original attachment bill.—It appearing from
the allegations in complainant's bill that Samnel
Bard ia either a non-resident of tha State of
Tennessee, or so absconds or conceals himself
tha! tho ordinary process of law cannot bo served
upon him, and the bill baviog been filed to col-
lect an indebtedness due complainant from Sam
Bard, and an attachment issued under order of
said court and returned levied upon the proper
ty of said Bard:
Cruel fate, indeed, for the man who saved

Goteknob Wise.—Any day you may see on
the streets a white-haired old gentleman, with a
big bead throngb and a big head across, a pow
erful face, a florid complexion, russet-leather
boots and a muffle around his throat. This is
General Henry A. Wise. He lives in Chief Jos-
tioo Marshall's old residence, practices law, is
doing well, looks well and is well. He says he
was born sick, and has been getting better ever
sinoe. In fact, he never was so well as he is
now. Of him it might be said with perfect
truth what Judge William Daniel is in the habit
of saying abont himself—“thirty years ago I
was very old; I had dyspepsia." General Wise
may not have had dyspepsia, but he is certainly
yopnger than he ever was. Foil of life, he is
ready to “chaff” every man, woman, child and
nigger ne meets. The other morning, near the
New Market, I beard him singing ont to an oys
ter dealer across the street:
Yon send me them oysters”—he is not par
ticular about bis grammar—“good ones, too, or
I won’t have ’em. You oyster men onght to
have barnacles on yonr consciences, if you've
got any oenaclenoes, as big as the end of my
thnmb.”
The next moment t» met an old negro.
“Good morning, old man. What’s the matter
with yon ? Aint yon happy this fine morning ?
Well, yon onght to be happy—you're free now.
And so he goes on with everybody he meets.
He is a perfect mine of knowledge of all sorts,
and bis store cf anecdotes, reminisoencea and
stories of eminent men would make the fortune
of an interviewer.
Loss of tut Yacht Hzxeieita—The oele
brated yacht Henrietta, in which James Gordon
Bennett, Jr., won the race across tbs Atlantic,
with the yachts Vesta and Fleetwing, in 1865,
was lost on the 16th of December, near Kanton,
noithwest of Cape Honduras. Daring a very
heavy gale, which she encountered scon after
leaving that port, she was driven ashore and
totally wrecked. All her crew were saved. At
the time of the disaster the Henrietta was en
gaged in the frait trade. She was built by
Henry Steers, of Greenpolnt, L. L, in 1862,
from a model by Mr. William Tooker, and was
205 tons, 108 feet In length by 23 beam and 10
feet deepth of hold. She was fore-and-aft
schooner-rigged, and had a very deep keeL
Fate of the Baxkeuft Law.—The New York
Tribune thinks there will be a great surprise
throughout tho country at the summary repeal
of the bankrupt law by the House of Repre
sentatives. There was no debste on the propo.
aition, bnt, rays the Washington correspondent
of the New York World, “members in conver
sation declared that their experience had shown
that tha law had done more harm than good. It
looks very much as if the Senate would also con
cur in this repeal, as a bill to that end was fa
vorably reported from one of its committees.
A New Yoke lady opened a letter addressed
to her husband the other day, and read, among
other soft words, these: “Darling John—come
to me again soon. I can’t bear to think you
are at home with that old rip of a wife of
yours.” When John came home that evening
e found a domestic polar wave in his mansion
that chilled the very beef marrow on his hair.

THEE LOGAN FERTILIZER.
Farmers, procure LOGAX’S C0XCKSIE4TED SOLUBLE M0SPIIATE and mix according
to the Formula, with Manure at home, and jou have the BEST, CHEAPEST
and LEAST EXPEXS1YE Fertilizer known.
T HE timo has come when planting, to bo profitable, must bo conducted npon a plan eomewbat differ
ent from onr former operations We must eo manage as to get the largest passible return from a
given amount of labor. If we can make the same labor produce six Lags of cotton, that formerly made
only three or four, we make an advance ef fifty or one hundred per cent; bnt the question may be
asked: Can this be done? We reply: It can; if we adopt a more thorough cultivation of the eoil
aietd by a liberal bnt judicious use of fertilizers—we will certain y accomplish this object. It is useless
to continue planting the old fields without, in some way, enriching them: their meagre crop will tot
pay for the labor. Every farmer should commence a system of deep ploughing. This ia the beat basis
that can be laid for future efforts at improvement, but it ie not enough; eoms of the elements of plant-
food have been eo exhausted from the soil that they must be returned from other sources before feitil-
ty can be restored. This is the aim of tho Chemical Fertilizers offered on the market. Generally, they
are too expensive, the farmer cannot afford to ueo them in quantities sufficient to make any permanent
improvement of the soil. In these commercial fertilizers aro elements which the farmer has at home ■
with proper economy he can husband and uss them, and thus save money for the purchase of only those
elements which he cinr.ot proenre on his own farm. He wants, therefore, a fertilizer containing, in a
concentrated form, all the elements winch he cannot procure at home.
X,OG-23JXr’S COKrOEKrTFlZATBr) PHOSPHATB
Ts a compound of all the elements the farmer needs for combining with what ho has within his reach.
One ton of the “Logan Phosphate,” need according to tho directions, will fertilize twice as many scree
as a ten of the beet and most expensive fertilizer in the market, and yet the coat will not exceed one-
half of what he usually pave for tne beet fertilizers, besides the saving of 70 per cent, of freights, etc.
“Logan’s Fertilizer” was prepared for the benefit of friends and immediate neighbors. Aft r three
years of oonlinnaUy increasing nse, and complete demonstration of its value, it ia now effered to the
farmers generally. The original standard will be maintained, ant all essential pointB will be clearly in
dicated in the directions fnrnished to purchasers. In the sections of country where it is of importance
io have an early maturity of cotton, to compensate for the devastation by blight and caterpillar, we
would most especially recommend the “Logan Fertilizer.” We earnestly recommend a trial. Two dol
lars per acre is the only outlay. (We annex some of the many certificates that have been received from
parties who have need and experimented with the Logan Fertilizer.)

to the farming putlio. I shall nse no other in the
fntore. Betpectfnlly yours, W C DANIEL.
Clavtox Co., Ga , November 6,1872.
Rev Robebt Looax,
Deas Sib—I have need Coe’s and Baugh’s by the
side of your Concentrated Material. Yours bas beat
them both and is mneh the cheapest. My conrso in
the future will be to use the highly concentrated
material and do my own mixing. Respectfully
yours, JACOB TOLAND.
Newtox Co., Ga., October 31, 1872.
Rev Robebt Looax,
Deab Sm—I bought 290poundsof yonr Fertilizer
and one load stable manure—making 900 pounds
mixture. I pnt it on three acroa and made 2400
pounds eeed cotton. The natural product of land,
aocording to teat row. wonld have been 800 pounds.
Thus 900 pounds of the mixture made me 1600
pounds seed cotton. Respectfully yours.

of $12 50, and gathered 1411 pounds lint cotton.
You may estimate my gain. Bespeotfnlly yours,

Clavtox Oo , Ga, November 5, 1872.

41 lbs; Stonewall, 20U lbs per acre, coat S7 60, yield
par row, 45 lbs; Logan’s, 195 mixture, or 65 con
centrated, coat $102, 47 lbs.
Thus $1 62 gave better results with Logan’s than
86 with Sternfieid's, or $7 60 with Stonewall. Re

there being eo great & difference between the nat

from the application of yonr Concentrated Phos
phate on corn tbe present yoar. I purchased four
barrels, some 1100 pounds, at a cost of $25; I pre
pared the materials, making 3006 pounds or more;
I pnt one-half of it on 12 or 13 acres planted in
com. The com has not been gathered, bnt my
neighbors estimate that the yield has increased one
hundred per cent. If this should prove to be the
case, the per centage on the investment will be
12 to I, or twelve hundred percent. I feel perfect
ly eafe in saying that it yields me 800 per cent,
profit. THOMAS MOOBE.

THE PEOPLE:
three times its weight of stable mannre, and applied
on thin land at the rate of 80 pounds of the con
centrated material per acre bv the side of 2C0
pounds of Soluble Pacific. The Pacific cost me to
per acre, and yours 82 The yield was 890 pounds
seed cotton per acre, while the natural soil only
produced 2E6 pounds—making mo tally three to
one. Yours and the Pacifie were a tie in yield,
though it cost me three trmoe as mneh mosey to
mako the same amount of cotton by the nse of tbe
Pacific. I ehall nse nono bnt yours hereafter. Be

Rev Robt Looax,
Deab Sm—I do hereby certify that I have used
the Logan Fertilizer for three years. I find it to
he as good as any I have ever need. By using the
Logan Gnino a man can save from 200 to 225 per
cent over the common good guanos. My land ie
poor and I have made on my farm, last year and
this year, abont 1,100 pounds seed cotton per acre.
Fraternally youre, Bev D L DUFFEY.

Bev Bobt Looax,

Tho natural soil made 540 pounds seed cotton;
Mape’s 1,128 pounds : Sardis’ 915 pounds ; yonrs
2,199 pounds. I mixed 2S0 pounds of the concen
trated material, making 1,200 pounds of gnano
after mixiDg—which reduces yours down to a very
trilling cost, compared with the others, besides
ihis, yours is ahead of all. I shall use it in the fa-
tore, believing it to be the cheapest and best fer
tilizer in use. Beepeetfclly yours, JOHN MHCiE.
