k—We had the pleasure yesterday,
of a abort oall from tbe good-looking editor of
that good-looking, newsy, and sprightly puper,
Iba Monroe Advortisar—W. D. Stone, Esq.
Bat unfortunately for tbe girls, he’s a Ben

We alao had a moat weloome visit from our
old-time friend. Dr. E. J. Eldridge, of Ameri
cas Tbe sight of bi* rotund person and
eomely, genial pbir. oarrled us pleasantly back
to a jolly winter spent years tgo In a Northern

A trzw German steamship oompany, plying
between New Yotk and Hambnrg, and railing
at porta on the channel In England and France,
Is abont beginning it* trar.aatlantlo voyages. It
will be known as the "E igle Line," and ten

UbpxotttxsLY Dzcldt* the Tair.—The
Graphic prints letters from B. F. Butler,
Charles A. Dana, George W. Ohilds and Gen.
Georgy B. McClellan in response to an invita
tion to take passage forEarope in their balloon,
reapeolfnlly declining to make the trip. Taey
are very tbankfal for the invitation, of coarse;
bnt quite too bnsj—can’t spare the time, by
any means—can't avail themselves of “the
prisSege " Now it is a real pity that Bsn Bat
ter shoald be too busy to go on that trip. A
large part of Massachusetts will regret it. It
would be easy in that State to make np a parse
to oompensst© Bntler for time Iofct on tho voy
age, and particularly for failure to get back.
Tbe Graphic oonld be vei/ liberal in its invita
tions with entire safety.
A Bid Sion —It is esid that the inscription
M for sale,'* or “for rent, 1 * la posted on more
than six thousand hoo*e* aud atoree in New
Orleans. Tne people of New Orleans acd of
Louisiana have been too busy for the last seven
or eight years with their party politics and
their quarrels and flghN over the public plun
der to pay much attention to any other busi
ness. Tbe ooneeqncne* is this < xtraordinarv
increase of empty hons«*s and stores in the
commercial metropolis of the State.—.Y. I.
Herald.
We expected better things of tbe Herald.
This “bad sign" is not, as the Herald well
knows, the result of “q-arrels and flghtA over
the pnblio plunder" by the people. The only
fight the people have ma.de is to keep them-
salres from beirg plundered by the white
thii'T *« and their binck barbarian allies of the
Radical party. It is becar.se they have been
worsted ia thiefight, that the “bad sign*’ is seen.
Wbo believes that it ever would have been seen
had Grant kept h‘s hands eff, and allowed them
to reap tbo fruita of their well won viotory un
der the leadership cf an boneat man, such as
was McEnery. That was all that was needed to
restore New Orleans and Loniaisna to a healthy
condition, bat the thievea did not want any
ouch contamination. They knew it meant rain
for them, and so they called to Grant and be
responded to their appeal* and turned them
loot* again to plunder at will as before.
With snch a government and such cffloials as
the Federal administration has propped np in
Louisiana on the point of its bayonet*—snth
roguery, ruffianism, and wholesale corruption
running riot, the wonder is that there are not
twite six thousand booses “for rent ’ in New
Orleans. What inducement ia there for a man
to bay a stock of goods and rent a store when
the this res steal ia that shape of illegal, crash
ing taxes, one hundred per oent more than his
profit* ? No wonder Grant postponed his booth-
era trip last spring when snch ghests stood
reedy to rise in hie path and ahow him the fruits
of his wicked policy of Southern repression end
Vo Hews*
If no news Is good nttci, end ind.cates proa-
perons times, the oonntry may boast a prosper
ous condition just now. There U nothing to be
found in tbe papers. Tbe great dailies of the
North and West fill their ample spaoe with the’
tedions squabbles in France aud Spain—the
dally crop of horrid murders, fires and acci
dents, and goft'ip from tbe watering place*—s
•tale and unprofitable hill of fare.
It is • solemn fact lhat tbe American public
don't rare s continental about Spain. No inter
est otn be got np in 8panish affairs. France
stands better—bnt France is adrift on s sea of
chance, nonsense and chatter. Frauoe fa with
out pnrpofe or policy.
As for murder* tbe pnblio is surfeited with
them. The daily snoper of horrors has palled
tbe appetite. When we ocme to tbo springs—
tbe tine once was, perhaps, when tbe attention
of tbe oonntry could be arrested by tbe stun
ning equipage of Cot Tom Higbfiyer and tbe
rich laces, embroideries and robes of tbe divine
Lilly Lillington, of Lilly Yale, bnt there's too
much of it now s days. All the relish is lost In ,
the sbnndaoc© of the provisions, snd now tbe
ungratefnl newspaper readers have utterly
oeased to be oonvnl»*ed or even agitated on the
question whether Miss Lilly or tbe widow Royall
were more booomingly dressed at the last Sara
toga or Long Branch Lop.
The papers sndielegramshave ventured some
sickly efforts to get np sninterest in races; bnt
now that every cross-road has a race oonrse and
tbe racing generally is very ind fferent, who
cares who’her Tommy Noshes' b. zn Betsey nr
OoL Jim Filbert's c. g. Brown Dick carries off
the stakes. It is all utterly wretched, vulgar,
oommon plac*, inconsequential and “no ac
count."
The papers, without exception, are doll and
tiresome. There is nothing before the bouse
or tbe oonntry. There's not an idea afloat of
sufficient moment to arrest pnblio attention.
Tbs most diligent bunt through a long list of
exchanges discloses only that abhorrent thing
in nature, a vacuum.
Under these circumstances let ns turn to local
topios. Let ns discuss the moral and material
rarronndings. Let ns treat of corn and cater
pillars—of rain and dronth—of bnds, bloEsoms
and frait, and all the various ooncerns of homo,
and let tbe ontaida world gang its sin gate.
THE GEORGIA PRESS.
Sow Turnips.
The present dripping weather is rrost propi
tious for securing good stands of this valuable
winter crop, and should be improved by every
farmer and gardener in the country. Aside from
its importance as a pleasant esculent and anti-
eoorbntio during tbe pork season, for the feed
ing of stock, and its milk giving qualities, no
better substitute for grain can be found.
In England, tbe closest attention is bestowed
to the rearing of turnips, and the yield per
sere is most astonishing. Bone dust, snd the
phosphates generally, Are extensively nsed, and
seem better adapted than any other fertilizer to
tbe production of root orope. One thousand
bnshels is frequently tho produot of a single
acre. The writer has reen over seven hundred
bnshels of rutabagas taken from one acre on tbe
sea coast of Georgia. This variety of tur
nip is probably tbe most valuable, as well ss
productive for this Iatitnde. Unlike tbe other
species, it will continne to grow after a killing
frost, and survive even the severest winter.
Last spring the writer removed roots perfectly
sound from his garden ss late as April. Ex
treme spells of cold will bleach some of the
leaves, bnt as soon as tbe weather moderates,
new sprouts put forth immediately. The tops
of tbe rutabaga are even superior as greens for
cooking pnrposen, than the ordinary collard. In
tbe spring, the roots can be taken np and stored
In oellars, or banked like swoot potatoes. We
have never known them in an experience of
twenty-four continuous years, to go to seed in
Georgia bnt onoe.
This variety of tnrnips should be sown tbe
latter part of Jnly or early in August, and always
in drills. We have never seen them do well
broad cast. Fair oropa may be made, however,
even as late as September.
Before planting, tbe soil should be properly
eorichrd, and spaded np or plowed very deeply.
Tbe beat stAnds are obtained when tbe gronnd
is thrown into flat ridges two and a half feet
apart, upon which after being made smooth and
level with the hoe, the seed is deposited, and cov
ered very shallow. This ensure? drainage, and
prevents the packing of the earth upon the seeds
in tho event of a heavy rain after sowing. Care
shoald be taken also not to tnrn under just pre
vious to sowing, any crop cf weeds or grass
which may be growing upon the land, as its
subsequent fermentation will destroy tbe young
plants.
The thinning preosss shoald begin very early,
and be oontinaed from time to time nntil the
plants stand abont eight or ten inches asunder
in tbe rows. Missing plaoes may be supplied
by transplanting, and indeed we have set out
whole squat os in this manner, and realized at
heavy crops as from tbe plants left in tbe orig
inal beds. In cultivating, stir tbe earth fre
quently, and jnst before tbe beginning of cold
weather bill op the tnrnips so as to cover tbe
tnbers completely, as a protection against sud
den freezes.
Should tbe plants not grow off read-ly, a top
dressing of E. F. Coe's phosphate, or some other
bone mannre, will aot like magio npon them.
With anything like the nsna! supply of moisture
In tbe fall months, the above directions, if
faithfully followed, will ensure an abundant
yield of this vegetable, which is so exoellent a
concomitant of the poik and greasy diet of win
ter. We trust onr planters will plant largely of
tnrnips and bless their stars for doing so daring
the ensuing winter.
Whit's tbe SfAfter?
With the mails, is a very pertinent qne9tion at
present. We wonld really like some informa
tion on the subject We would like to know,
for instance, why it takes letters three days to
go from Maoon to Washington, Wilksa conaty—
a distance of not more than one hnndred miles,
and why it takes.ifes days, as a rule, tar letters
from Indian Spring to reach tbe same point
(Washington). Tbe writer of this paragraph
saw a letter—received in Maoon yesterday—
that was mailed on the 28th of Jnly at Waahing-
ton, and forwarded from Indian Spring to Ma
con with the date. Jaly 24th, stamped npon it—
four days before it teas iBritten! That rather
beats Bannagher and suggests that there are
spirits of some kied at work in the mailbags or
poet effioes somewhere. If it is not an imperti
nent question, we should like to ask the post
master at this point if he knows the wbys and
wherefores of this thusness, and if he can not
apply a remedy ? So far, we have heard good
accounts of his administration, but this looks
like the machinery, cr some part of it, needed
repairing or replacing.
Simon Cameroa's Vow#
Did the Charlestonians ever bear of Cameron’s
crop of oorn in tbe streets of Charleston ? He
says he mads one theie, and gets one of his
Pennsylvania organs to tell the heroic story
thn«:
Simon Cameron, when Secretary of War in
President Lincoln's Cabinet, made a vow to
plant corn in the streets of Charleston. The
fulfillment tbe LAncaeter (Pa.) Examiner gives
in Mr. Cameron’s own words : “I did not for
get that resolution, and when our troops gained
possession of that eeditocs city I went there,
planted the corn with my own hands in one of
tbe streets, engaged a man to attend to it and
cultivate it, and to this day I preserve tbe frait
of that crop in my cabinet at home. I never
hid any doubts as to tbe result of tbe straggle,
nor had I any ecruplee abent using every proper
means to accomplish that result in the shortest
possible time.” Simon didn t tell this aneodote
until h* beard recently of the farmers’ move
ment.
Now, we’il take onr davy that if Simon planted
that oorn he never reaped a grain of it, and his
oabinet store ia bogus.
Txs Herald of Sunday states that Joe Jeffer
son hsa hsd sn sttoek of psrslysif, snd that it
is very doubtful if ha will be able to appear on
tho stage st til tbo oomlng season.
Da R L JEUdd;, of Forsyth, who baa been
very ill for some weeks, is announced to bo in
a more hopeful condition.
We ohp tbe following from the last Monroe
Advertiser:
A Good Khoweio.—There has been fewer
levies made fur the collections of ante-bellum
debts in this oonnty, «noe the Sapreme Court
of the I'aiud States declared tbe Homestead
law txnconatitation&l, than in any oonnty in tbe
State. Thia is a significant fact, demonstrating
very olearly that our people are not only pros
perous, but pay their debut.
Old-tdc* Guiho.—An old negro woman at
my plaoe says: *‘De way dey use to make ootton
in my day was wid a plenty o’tick’ry. Duy
didn't need no juanner den. And if yon will
des gib me a few niggers and a good hick'xy
now, I kin make any of dn land about here
fetch good ootton, dat will beat any of your ju-
aoner." Want doee her head lack of being
level ? U. O Famsbo
Monb'z County Rrinmcs—White polls
1,007; bl*ck poila 1.481; hands employed 2 (93;
acre* of laod 277 081, va’ae thereof $1,380,549 ;
town property $261,840; notes and money
$414.041; merchandise $97,150; mills $52 655.
Value of all the property in the oonnty $2.G26 -
403 The lncreaae in tne valuation of property
smoe last fa’I amounts to $127,017.
These etatittlica also show that there is a great
disproportion between the cotton and oorn
acreage in Monroe oonnty—greater than in any
oonnty from which we have heard. Of cotton
there ar* 36,842 acres; of oorn 23,012 acres.
Mb. Rob car Campbell, probably the oldest
citizen of Augusta, died in Clarksville lad San-
day, aged 86 years. He had lived in Acgusta
sinoe 1801, and had been one of the most prom
inent and suoceaefal business men of that city.
Tie Columbus Enquirer says it is very prob
able the route by the Cbattahooobee river via
Chattahoochee, Florida, and thence by rail to
Jacksonville, will soon be reopened.
Thx Snu has the following:
Dxsobdebly Congrboation—A oolored couple
raarched to tne front of the pnlpit in Aabnry
Chapel Sunday night to be married. The
oouple did not belong to the fancy and were
dren-ed rather grot*sqnely. The assembled
multitude of freed people received them with
bursts of laughter. The pastor, Nobles, in vain
tried to restore order, and to obtain it bad to
dUmise tho congregation. So we are told by
policemen.
Large Ixvz-TMEtT —The four Bnilding and
Loan AshocimUoia* in Columbus are now virtu
ally carrying a half million of dollars for bor
rowers. Tnis is perhaps more than the com
bined capital of all the city banks. These Loan
institutions have been great helps in the crea
tion of bonses. Toey may wind np in seven
years, and are compelled to do so in eight.
’Good Management.— The Savannah and
Memphis Railroad, running only tweniy-eigth
miles, on an average, las: year, has made run
ning expenses, salaries, eta, sod cleared five
hnndred dollars. Shows good management.
The track hi now laid forty miles, and it is
thought twenty-three more miles will be laid
this year. The road ba? two engines and am
pie rolling stock for present neeJs.
■ Mb. W. H. Waltlzb has taken charge of the
editorial and bn*iness management of the
Ringgold Courier. He evidently don't like In
ternal Rsvenue ways, for he says “he had as
soon undertake to keep up with a coon in tbe
Chickamanga swamp, as to keep posted on tbe
numberless rales of that institution.”
The fine residence of Mrs. Jane Molder, of
Stewart county, was bnrned last Tuesday, to
gether with nearly all her furniture and
clothing. Loss $4,000, and no insurance.
Hon. Itebson L. Harms —We find tbe follow-
lowing gratifying announcement in tbe last
Union and Recorder:
The pnblio will be gratified, throughout tbe
State of Georgia, to learn that the distinguished
jurist, nprignt citizen and geuial gentleman
whose name Mind? at the head of this article
has so far recovered his health as to drive ont
npon onr streets and mingle with his old vi-
vaoity in conversation with onr citizens. We
trnst that bis health will oontinne to improve
rapidly, and that he m»y ere long r<sume the
Aotive duties of life, from wbioh he has been
debarred for several months by disease. Judge
Harris has for nearly half a oentury occupied
h distinguished position before the public, and
his fame is not oonflord to the limits of Georgia.
It was rumored In Athens on Tnesday, that
Chancellor Lipscomb, of the University, bad
resigned that position, and that Prof. W. L.
Bronn had been chosen to suooeed him. Prof.
Frank Lipscomb, son of tbe Chanoeilor is dan
gerously ill. Messrs. John B. Gordon, Y. L. G.
Harris, of Athens, John Screven, of Savannah,
and John 0. Katherford, of Decatar, have been
eleoted Trustees to fi'l vacancies.
About $5,000 worth of property was sold at
sheriff's sale in Atlanta on Taesday to satisfy
State and county tax fl foe. The Herald says
as usual, “the Kimball house was sold to satisfy
a tax fl. fa. issued by Collector Hoyle for taxes
for 187L Itwasbidcff by Hon. B. H. Hill,
for Joseph Thompson, Sr, and G. W. Adair, at
four thousand dollars. Tnie house brings va
rious prices—sometimes it sells as high as fif
teen thonsani dollars, and then it drops to fonr
or five, owing pretty tnnch to tbe state of the
weather and the demand for that class of bnild-
ings.”
Bwpgp of A Maoon Yoluntezu —The Savan
nah News, of Tuesday, has this item. .
We observed yesterday in a magistrate's of-
fioe, among numeroos other articles levied np
on as the property of a party said to be a
Northern man. for rent, a sergeant's sword.
Tbe blade has inscribed on it “E. J. Johnson
k. Co., Mecon Ga., M. V. 186i," npon the
clasp of the belt are the initials “M. V.”
A sturgeon jumped into a pilot boat off Ty-
bee last Saturday and striking against a man
therein knocked him down, severely spraining
his ankle and breaking tbe knees of the boat.
The man was thrown to the opposite aide of
boat, and the water rushing fariously in, the
sturgeon floated off.
Thx Advertiser and Republican of Taesday
says:
A White Man Shot by a Xiobo.—Yesterday
morning a tram filled with negro excursionists
went down to station No. 3, Atlantic and Gulf
road, to attend a camp-meeting or some other
religions celebration down there. In the after
noon tbe train retarning stopped some time at
No. 3, where the negroes got out and strolled
around. While at this place a difficulty ocourrcd
between a negro, whose name onr informant
did not know, and a white man nsmed J. W.
Clark, tbe agent of the road, doing business
there. In the oourse of the difficulty the negro
drew a pistol and fired at Clark, the ball striking
him in the groin and injuring him pretty badly.
The negro then immediately disappeared, at
least so it is assarted, and oonld not be fonnd
any more. It is supposed he came on to Sa
vannah with tbe train.
Thx same paper, referring to a late letter in
the Columbus Enquirer signed by tbe editor,
A. R. Oalbcun, and which was mainly devoted
to the grossest personal abase of a man named
Strange, editor of an Opelika paper, makes
these sensible and pointed remarks s
We stagger through a legion of friendly ex
pressions which Calhoun bestows upon Strange,
such as “champion of cowardice," “illiterate,
unprincipled scoundrel,” “white livered whelp,"
“brainless coward,'* “blackguard,” “liar,"
“bally," “drivelling fool," “brainless ass,” until
onr brain whirls and we lay down the article in
sheer exhaustion, with a sense of satisfaction
that there is a limit even to the stock of epithets.
Bat seriously, is this the “higher civilization”
onr editorial friend has been preaching abont
since te took the Enquirer? If he l* really
dealing with a “bully” is it according to hia
aeuse of honor and dignityftbat he dignsts tbe
public with a blatant controversy with him?
Southern gentlemen, (mark the word) ms a rale,
if they are aggrieved, have another and quieter
oourse—either silent contempt for the black
guard, cr effective satisfaction for the mac. We
believe Calhoun, who essays the role of Prophet,
might in thia instance become an humble dis
ciple and learn a lesson from the very people,
the exponents of law, gentility and order, in
wboee midst he has ca«t hie fortunes. Both
parties to this affair are under bonds to keep
tbe peace, and if Strange chooses to act tbe
“bully"m the interim, Oalboun, aa the exponent
of that “higher civilizition,” should at least
spare the public controversy, which, even upon
ordinary topics is unpleasant and nnsatisfao-
loryto conservative and peacefully Inclined
r *TirK*Griffia Star tells of a lady liviag near
Gr.ffiu who bought a sewing machine six months
*20 on credit, and to be paid for in monthly
installments. She baa earned the money to pay
for the machine by taking in sewing, and enough
besides to pay for the cultivation of thirty-five
acres of cotton.
At the citizens’ meeting in Griffin, the other
night, the following resolution was unanimously
adopted:
Resolved, That we ralae a ■ubneriptian of
forty thousand dollars for the purpose of build
ing an iron foundry and machine shops in Grif-
n, aharee to be $100 each, Babseriptioa noi
binding until $30,009 is subscribed,- unless
otherwise ordered by stockholders; not more
than 33 1 3 per eent. shall be eaTled'in" within
rfxty days from the time of organization, ami
future installments shall be called in aa needed
on ten day*’ notioe.
Kothxbg to Da—Upon this text ibe Athens
Watchmen preaches the following level-headed
sermon.
We have beard Hundreds complain within tbe
last twelve months, of having “nothing to do.
So long aa cor corn, oats, bacon, hay, potatoes,
onions, fruits, clothing, farming and other im
plements, household comforts—nearly every
thing we eat, wear or enjoy, is brought from
diaianoe, it appears to ns there is much to do.
We wanted a wheelbarrow the other day sod
oonld not find one for sale, and yet we found
w*gona here all the way from Michigan. We
wanted a broom—it was from Ohio—and yet
broom oora grows as well in Georgia as any
where. We wanted a bucket—that was from
the “big Norrid,” or enterprising West. This
country is fall of water power and exoellent
timber, and numbers of people oomplain that
they have “nothiLg t< do” These game parties
talk loudly aboat “developing oar resDuroes,”
bit attempt to do it by beooming agents for
life insuranoe company, or something of the
kind. If they wish to develop our reeouroea
let them locate a stern of a mule and betweeu
substantial plow handles, or establish shops or
manufactories for the production of tbe thoc-
sond and one articles we are forced to import
from abroad. So long as nnmbecs of people
are idle and wn import everything we u.-»e, we
cannot expect to prosper as we shoo'd.
Thx Atlanta Constitution of yesterday oom
plimenta Macon npon her liberality to the cause
of education. It aays:
To her eternal honor, be it sa;d, that the city
of Maoon leads tbe oities of the Sooth in her

education. It is a proud plume :n her cap, to
be proudly worn. No n ggard baud is hew in
fostering this traasoendant instrument of civili

give, whenever asked, ever munificently. Her
noble liberality in donating, we believe, two
hundred thousand dollars to secure the location
of Mercer University in her borders, ia a con
spicuous instancs in point. While the location
of that college was hanging in the balance,
tempting prize, with many eager competitors,
Maoon did not even heed the rivalry, but with
her large-hearted munificence, she bid so high
that all other offers seemed petty in oonttaxt.
By her bold, ready generosity, she unde anoceu*
inevitable, and all o-b*r rivalry was puerile
child's play in oomptrison. In tbe same f>pl6n

voted two large amonn*s of money to footer
two edocationsl inetiintionsof different denom

evinced in this donitiou of her wealth to its
encouragement.

Mxnabbvxllx, Jnly 18,1873.
Editors Utraldi At no time in the history
of onr State have the Indians exercised snch
oomplete control over the frontier as at tbe
present. Since tbe German teamster boy killrd
one Indian at McKtveU, 5 h inetant, np to this
time, scarcely a day has passed that Indians
have not been seen at some point in the country,
but generally in the vioinity of Fjrt McKvrett.
Mr. Hamilton, a surveyor, was attaoktd a few
days 8go, on K:ckapoo Creek, and escaped on
foot with the lc.ss of everything but his gun. A
large surveying party (Mr. Polk's) waa forced

In Brown and Coleman counties stock and

Here is an extract from a letter from my sis
ter-in law, a girl born and raised on the fron
tier, written from Ctmp Colniado:—
While Marion is gone I am in continual
dread, and I do not know which I dread most,
the probability cf hin never returning or my
self and children being murdered while he is
gone. Graoe and OUie b*vo been improving
so nicely at school, but the excitement ba*
censed tbe school to be dosed. A woman aud
child livine near ns were murdered yesterday,
and another ohild, a little girl eight years old.
was carried off. Tbe name of the murdered
woman was Mrs. Williams. Bbe and the chil
dren were alone. She had completed*her morn
log's work about nine o'clock, sod was rocking
her little one to sleep when the Iadians entered.
They shot her three times through tbe body,
dashed her infant against the back of the fire
place, snatched up the little girl and were gone
in less than five inmates.
Tbe wounded mother, in agony of despair,
exhausted her strength in PDHtching up her
infant from among the live, burning coals of
the fireplsce, dasbeil a bucket of water on the
bed, laid bar suffering, dying darling npon it,
and then fell upon tbe floor to die herself. Ob t
Gatrdie, think of this poor woman's suffering
for six long honrs before her hnsband's return,
and of his agony when he oame 1 That child
and mother snffering, dying for six honrs! the
mother listening to the cries of her boy for
water, ard nnable to reach it to him, and tbe
cruel knowledge that her other darling bad met
a fate still worse than theirs! She lived to tell
her hunbaDd all, and died. Tbe child is not
deed yet. It is dreadfully bruized and burned
and snffering great agony, bnt some think it
will live.
I have no recollection of ever having been
ten miles east of this place, and I never expect
to be, except perhaps on a visit or pleasure trip,
bnt I want to leave it now, and go anywhere on
earth away fiom the frontier. Two more
months like the past one will kill me or drive
me mad."
This is bnt odo story of the many snch told.
Is it any wonder that we sbonld want a frontier
Governor ? Yonra, sincerely.

large crowd was present; bnt there seemed to

bookcase attached—an old, bnt well preserved
piece cf furniture—was knocked down to Es

desk of the deoeased did better and sold for
$15 50, very considerably more than its real
value. The bed npon which it wax said the
second great Ulysses was born fetched $5 50.
There wax a lot of bocks sold, a very miscella

Macon, Ga t August 6, 1873.
Editors Telegraph and Messenger: Your
word of cantion to planters in relation to the
indiscriminate use of Faria Green on ootlcn or
other plants is veiy well timed. Paris Green
is an arsenate of oopper, and is therefore very
destructive to vegetable and animal life. In its
application it should be largely dilated with
some sutstanoe which will oounterset its caustic
effect. To thia end the “Whisenant Compound'
was patented, and as the owner of the patent
waived the royalty, it is now within the
reach of all, at cents per pound, advising the
use of 20 pounds to the acre. From the note
of Messrs. Tift A Co. it will be seen that it does
the work thoroughly, and without injury to tbe
plant. Yours truly,
Hunt, Raskin A Lamas.

Ricmi xd, August 6. — The Conservative
State Convention met to-d«y at noon in the

time the Committee on Credentials reported.
Several hoars were consumed in discussing

The question of appointing a committee on
permanent organization gave rise to a heated
debate as to the manner of the formation of
the committee: some contending for 6ach
Congressional delegation to have the privilege
of selecting three of their own number to rep
resent them in the committee, and others for
the whole committee to be appointed by the
chairman. The debate was conducted amid
great oonfusion, bnt finally the latter mode pre
vailed and the chair appointed three from each
district delegation, with Hon. Robert Oald as
chairman. The oommittee thus formed thon

A very deoided spirit of antagonism is dis
played in the various debates, by the friends of
Gen. J. L. Kemper and Col. Robt. E Withers,

World London Letter ]
Misarably mistaken ia he who accepts the
utteranoes of the London journals, upon cer
tain satjects at least, as the r$fl a x of public
opinion, or as the expression of the personal
views of tbe writers in these publications. A
carious system of roticenoe, almost of hypoo-
risy, upon these subjects is practiced, which
deceives no really ivull informed person, but
at which no two holiest Eoglish j mrnalists
can laugh without blushing. One of the sub
ject* cocceruing which this hypocrisy i* main
tained is tbe republican movement in England;
another is th6 Roman Oatbolio movement; a
third is everything which relates to the royal
family. And for an illustration, let mo take
the tapic cf the approaffiiog marriage
Prince Alfred and M«rie Alexandrovna
Raasia. Now all lhe journals, from
the Times down to the Hour, have
‘gushed” over thia really pad and deplorable
engagement as if it were the most happy and
blissful of events. The Telegraph has gushed
the most, but they have all gushed freely. They
have told ns that tbe Dake of Edinbargh was
everything that was noble and princely ; that of
all the princes he was the most popular; that
the match was one of love and pure affection
on both sides; that so lively was the loya’ty of
tbe English people that the approaching mar
riage was regarded in every honsehold with as
much pleasure and interest »s if it were an event
in their own family. Not only is none of this
true, but tbe exact roverse of all of it is true;
and no odo knows this better than the writers
who mike snch ingenious representations to
the contrary. The Duke of Edinburgh is, of all
the royal princbs, tbe one least esteemed and
the one most disliked. Yon will hear in the
I'uba and in society the most disgraceful and
ludicrous stories about him. Many of these
turn upon the eoonomical passion of this young
gentleman, for—
“Although on p'eisure ba waa beat,
He hid a frugal min'Y*
from bis boyhood up. Wnile he was a midship
man he turned many en honest penny by sell
ing the photographs of his royal mother, upon
wbieh he had persuaded her to write her name,
to his shipmates and other* at 10j 61 each. The
money thus received, with other sums eupplied
to him by his loving parent, he often loaned out
at usurious interest to his young companions of
the gun-room, taking preeions good care to ex
act principal and interest at the maturity of the
debt. The thnfty habits thus acquired have
not been laid aside in later years, acd to-day
this prinoe of the blood and tae future son-in-
law of tbe Czar is actually iu partnership with a
well known money-lender of the city, a Mr. L-—.
Yon can imagine what d'sgnst such facts a*
these, which are widely known, inspire in the
breasts of the people who are now repre
sented as “thanking heaven on their b-nded
knees, with gratefol hearts, for the happi
ness of onr noble sailor prinoe." Nor is
this the worst of it. The prinoe has been *
debauch©—although hia liaison* are said not to
have been of the more expensive kind—and it
has been with the utmost difficulty that the
aversion of tbe Empress of Russia and of her
poor daughter to this match has been overcome.

A gentleman (who do?s not desiia hi* name
be made public) writes thus : “I write yoa this note
to congratulate you on being the proprietor of the
best Liver Medicine, Simmons’ Regulator, known
to tbe human race. I have known it for a Dumber
of yearn, and I pronounce it, as preoared by you,
pure and genuine; and I pray you, for the sake of
humanity, to keep it so, as long ae it is in your
keepi ig- You may prepare it, and tecommend it.
but you will never know the true value of it, unless
you have a disordered liver yourself. It unriog*
:bo liv. r of impurities with which it has been con
fined for years, and puts the wheels’ la their orig
inal motion. I have written these lines with no other
view but to give you my honest sentiments. The
Regulator is too good a thing to be called 'medi
cine* that would r*nge it with the ‘thousand aad
one' other remedies on record in the newepapers
I again repeat, that I hope, so long aa you have
anychiDg to do with tbe preparation of it, it will
retain its original purity ”
