Cornu of Hancock and Wilkinson Streets.)
Wednesday Morning. April 17, 1872.
The .Hilledgcville Central Crop Observa
tion and atatislicnl Bureau of Baldwin
C ount? aad Tar the Ntate of Georgia.
We lake great pleasure in publishing the following
paper which was read to our County Agricultural So
eiety by Mr. John 11. Furman. In the State Agricu!
tnral Convention of 1870, held at Atlanta, Mr. Furman
had prepared a resolution to establish a journal ot
the State Society, devoted especially to crop observa
tion reports from the Southern States, making a spe
ciality of the Southern Cotton Crop, also taking into
consideration t he foreign cotton crops and locking into
the cotton manufacturing interests of the United
States and Europe. Mr. Furman's friends, as they
will doubtle-s remember, with one or two exceptions,
advised agniDSt the introduction of the resolutions,
saying that they would destroy the harmony of the
convention, as so many agricultural newspapers or
journals were represented, and requested him to turn
his resolutions over to a committee, which he did.
However, Mr. Furman had casually broached the
Subject in New Orleans in the Fall of 1807 ; and while
there at that time became convinced of the shoitness
of the erop of 18ti7, and wrote back his convictions
We published a letter of Mr. Furman's last December
which was written to us from Texas early in Novem
ber, in which he stated that from what he had seen and
all information he could gather there would have to be
double counting to make a 3,000,000 bales crop for
1871.
These resolutions, as before stated, were read to cur
last Saturday's meeting and we are confident that they
would have been adopted, but Mr. Furman stated that
he would only read them and postpone their introduc
tion until our next meeting, which takes place on the
1st Tuesday of next month, when lie will have them
complete ai d will state all that is required. This is a
great move and we hope the Society members will
turn out in lull force and bring a host of new members
with them.
A Resolution, establishing the Milledgeville Centra!
Crop Observation and Statistical Bureau of Bald
win county, and for the State of Georgia, by the
Agricultural Society of Baldwin County.
Whereas, This Society believes that it is a matter
of vital importance for the farmers to be kept posted
as regards the condition of the crops, and most espe
cially the cotton crop, from the beginning of each year
to its ending, thereby ennabling tuem to reason intel
ligentlv as to the state of the market, and how to dis
pose of their crops; and also believing statistical infor
mation of farms under the present system of free la
bor will be valuable information, as showing the ad
vantages and disadvantages—the profits or loss attend
ingthe system—and thus enabling the farmers of this
country to understand and combat all disadvantages.
lie it Resolved by this Society, That we do hereby
establish a Crop Observation and Statistical Bureau
of Baldwin County, and for the State of Georgia, to
be kuuwn as the Milledgeville Central Crop Observa
tion and Statistical Bureuu of Baldwin County, and
for the State of Georgia, with the following rules and
regulations.
Sec. 1st. Be it resolved. That this Bureau shall con
sist ot one President, two Vice Presidents, and a Sec
retary and Treasurer.
See. 2d. Be it further resolved. That the Presideqt
Bud Vice Presidents shall be elected by this Society
and shall hold office during the term of four years, and
until tlleir success->rs shall be chosen, and shall have
uch salaries as shall be judged proper by the Societies
Sec .Id. Be it further resolved," That the President
nnd Vice Presidents shail have the right to select aad
appoint the Secretary and Treasurer, aud combine or
separate the offices as they may deem proper, and id
all cases where there is a disagreement between the
Vice Ptesicieuts tlie Piesideut shall have a right to
decide by casting Iris vote.
Sec 4th. Bo it further Resolved, That it shall b
the duty of the Piesideut nnd Vice Presidents to issue a
monthly circular containing information obtained in
eacii mouth ot the year iroui the members of this Agri
cultural Socie'y and all farmers of lids County. Said in
formation shall consist of, as nearly as possible, an ex
act statistical report nl the condition of their farms and
of their crops tiom the commencement of each year,
through the growing season to the ending of the year
See. 5th. Be it fnrther resolved. That the President
and Vice Presidents shall cornspond with all of the
County Agricultural Societies of the State of Georgia
for the purpose of obtaining from each one a like sta
tistical report, and shall urge the establishment of a
Crop Observation and Statistical Bureau in each coun
ty of this Mate, so that this Bureau,being centrally loca
ted may gather monthly from each county statistical nnd
crop observation reports, iu return for which this Bu
reau shall issue an aggregate report monthly, and dis
patch the same to every County Agricultural So
cietv or Bureau iu this State.
See lith: Be it tuither Resolved, That the President
and Vico Presidents of this Bureau shall communi
cate with ail the cotton growing States and impress
upon them the necessity lor like organizations, thus
enabling, if established, the Central Bureaus ot Ob
servaliou, ic., of each State to exchange aggregate
monthly reports, thereby enabling an estimate ot the
entire cotton crop of Uie South, thus keeping planters
advised monthly of the condition of the erop during
the growing season and enabling an approximation ot
same at the close.
Sec. 7th Be it fjrther Resolved. That, realizing as
we do the immense importance of the foreign cotton
crops, it shall also be the duty of the President and
Vice Presidents to impress upon the Agricultural De
partuicni at Washington City, D. C-, the importance
of publishing monthly reports of the cotton crops of
i j:.. ts-.v.; un.-i TTrrvnt Anri a!ko to nM/tin n.mi mill
THAT VAHIILV CONCUR*.
In bis comments on the disposition of the Ag i-
cultural land scrip, the senior of the Telegraph and
Messenger, say* that two of his associate* are
graduates of the University and therefore they
must stand up for the University as a family con-*
cern. This same family concern prevails in most
of the editorial departments of Georgia, and they
think it a point of honor tc stand up for the Uni
versity right or wrong. But does a sheep skin
from Athens declaring them to be learned iu
Heathen Greek or barbarous Latin qualify them
for practical farmeis. We presume the learned
professors of Franklin College Itnow about as
much about fa'tniug as Horace Greeley and v.e
ure very sure that those editors from the Athens
school are very frequently in opposition to a large
majority of the people of Georgia. Gov. Brown
was once elected by a large majority when every
paper in the State but two. were violently oppos
ed to him and we feel confident that a very deci
ded majority of the farmers are opposed to the
laud scrip being given to Athens. We see in the
Congressional proceedings of the !2th inst that
‘•Mr. Sawyer, from the Committee on Educa
tion and Labor, reported a bill extending for two
years from next July, the time within which the
Slates may comply with the provisions ot the Ag
ricultural College Act-
Had the wise men of Athens been a little legs
importunate and not had such an itching palm for
the agricultural funds, the Governor would have
been saved from a troublesome dilemma and the
whole question would have devolved on the Leg
islator* where it belongs.

The Feast of Flowers.
Messrs. Editors:—I ask the favor to present, through
your columns, to the Ladies of the Milledgeville As
sociation for the annual Decoration of Confederate
soldiers graves, a few unpretending verses in honor of
that never to be abandoned ceremony. As year is
added to year, this hallowed rite aud joyous Festival
but reuewd the well-springs of Memory's devotion ;
and when they shall cease to pour forth their sponta
neous streams, it is to be hoped no legislative enact
ment will seek “to mimic sorrow when the heart’s not
sad" by e*faA/»sA.tng“the26[h of April - ’ or any other as
a State’s Holiday, to be observed fora so-called similar
purpose of grateful remembrance. “If I forget thee
O Jerusalem, let my right hand forget her cunning.
If I do not remember thee, let my tongue cleave to
the roof of my mouth, if I prefer not Jerusalem above
my chief joy.”
It is not doubted that our approaching anniversary
will receive the customary aud formal observances
heretofore testified, so feelingly and beautifully,
throughout every Southern Stale. To do more might
be supererogatory—whilst leas would cause each one to
feel lhat the failure lay at her own door! It tithe
Feast of plotters ! It is otir voluntary Holiday that
is both significant and peculiar in itself, nnique and
original with the South ; and, it is hoped. It will grow
iu favor and become as general and lasting, as the loss
of the noble dead, whose services are its especial
commemoration.

Como Harry ! Do not take to heart
The changes you have seen,
Or talk of what you was and are
And what you might have been ;
Or grieve because you canuot feel
The simple, childish joy
Ot toys and sports just as you did
When you were yet a boy.
There is a time for everything.
For age as well as youth ;
And falsehood stalks abroad at times
And overshadows truth;
We can not always live in bliss,
Or teel unchanging joy.
Or always have a Mother's kiss,
Or always be a boy.
Nor should we wish to be the same
Unthinking children, when
The country is so much in need
Of noble thinking meu.
There is a time that we should leave
Our plays and sports and toys.
And set our hearts on noble aims
And be no longer boys.
The boys do very well indeed !
But boyhood can not last:
And we should not take up our time
In thinking of the past ;
Or wish to fill the places that
We filled in childhood, when
We now are fit to occupy
The higher place of men !
We are too apt to quarrel with
Our fortuue and our fate ;
We are too apt to lose our love
And be confirmed in hate :
We are too apt to think that God,
The All wise, t-howeth spite
Against bis creatures, in this world,
And doeth nothing right.
We are too apt (although we are
But creatures of a day.
And weak and helpless in ourselves,
And as the unformed clay
Is in the Potter's hands,) to say
To God “what doest thou”—
When we should to his holy will
Most reverently bow !

Editor Federal Union.—I see that the Macon
Telegraph and Messenger of the 11th is exceed
ingly sore because the mountain boys are called
upon, and uses a word almost too large for moder
ate men to swallow when it accuses your old tried
and true paper of demagogueism. Now I have a
few plain suggestions to give to the Telegraph, and
all others concerned which they will be wise to
heed. The bo>* of North Georgia are neatly all
of an honest hard toiling class of our people—
nearly all of whom are farmers ; they are brought
up to work—yes and hard work : and they are
taught to expect to live by the sweat of the brow
Now send those boys to an Agricultural College
For the Federal Unioa
Letter from Oregon.
Portland, Oregon, March 23, 1872,
Mr. Editor—It may not be uninteresting to yoar
readers to peruse a letter from this distant point, where
I think, people live faster than they do in dreamy old
Milledgeville settled quietly amid the picturesque hills
of Middle Georgia. Eveij thing here is brisk, rapid
aud busy iu trade, and fortunes can be amassed by
diligence much sooner than on the Atlantic slope.
The latest excitement here was St. Patrick's natal
day, which occurring on Sunday, the grand festivities
in honor of Ireland’s Patron Saint were postponed un
til the 18th inst. For weeks the weather had be«n
unpropitions, but on Sunday tho sun came forth in re
splendent glory, causing the enthusiastic sons of Erin
to shout for joy- At an early hour the Irish flag float
ed on th^breeze. The British lion not to be outdone
by Erin soon was visible in the shape of the flag of
her Consul. This was the signal for flags of other
countries to display their gay colors ia various parts
of the city.
There was no noise, the celebration bei-g confined
to religious services at tho Catholic Cathedral where
a large congregation worshipped three times during
the day. Some engaged in a quiet walk about the
town between the services, and so ended Sunday.—
Monday dawned warm and clear; the snow-capped
peak of Mount Hood w th ite solemn dreaminess
plainly discernable from all points.
The ciowd began to assemble by 11 o'clock at the
Cosmopolitan Hotel. The band played “Wearing the
Green” inspiring!*’. aud the proc.-ssion commenced
forming on First street. The Grand Marshal nnd his
aides led the procession, decked in their rega ia and
meunted on pranciug steeds. These were followed
by various volunteer companies, then a long line ot
carriages containing the President and orator of the
day. Male officers, Mexican veterans, City officials and
the Fite Depaitment of Portland. Then came various
Hibernian Societies, each bearing a h mdsome banner,
all wearing gay regalias with an elegant brass band
playing fine music. At 12 o'clock the order to march
was given and the column moved up First to Main and
other streets until it reached the Academy grounds
where the pupils gave a Concert.
Hon. G- K. Shell delivered an eloquent oration at
Oro Fisco Theatre, after which the procession moved
to Russ House, on Front street, where a sumptuous
fea*t had been prepared. The guests indulged in wit
ty sallies, cheerful songs and pleasant remiuicenc.es ol
the “Ould Country.”
The side walks and windows along the line of march
were crowded with spectators
The day ended with the annual Ball, given by the
Portland Hibernian Society.
This elegant city is si uated on the Wilamette River,
15miles from its mouth, and has a large and thriving
commerce. It is at the head of ship navigation. There
are several newspaper offices, many elegant buildings,
and the State Penitentiary is located here.
A few days since a child was Fund on the steps of
a From street residence. It was elegantly dressed, in
new basket with a large supply of fine clothing and
a nursery bottle of milk to appease its hunger. When
found the little girl laughed aud crowed in the liveli
est manner So much tor Woman’s Rights ! This is
a fast age, and the Portlanders are knowing and wide
awake, when even their infants travel alone and take
along with them their clothes and edibles. I expect to
go to “Frisco” ere long, so look for a letter.
Yours,
Jo Baldwin.

An Act to provide a College for the benefit of agricul
ture and the mechanic arts in the State of Georgia,
under Acts of Congress, approved respectively 2d
July. 1861, and 14th April, 1864.
32 Section I. Be it enacted, etc.. That h’s Excel
lency, the Governor of this State be, and he ia here
by authorized and requested, in such manner as lie
may deem best, to apply for', receive an 1 sell the lands
and land rcrip to which the State of Georgia is en
titled. under an act of Congress entitled “An Act do
nr.ting public lauds to the several States and Territo
ries wnich may provide colleges for the benefit of
agriculture and the mechanic arts." approved 2d July,
1862, by virtue of an acceptance thereof, as signified
in an act of this State, approved 10th March, 1866, to
invest in like manner as lie may deem best, the pro
ceeds of said sale or sales, in the bonds of this State
and disburse the interest of said investment for tin
suppoit and maintenance of a college, snch as con
templated by said act of Cor.grese ; to provide rules
aud ; egulationa for the organization, governance and
operation of said c 'liege, until the next ensuing ses
sion ot the General Assembly of this State; and to do
and perforin all other such acts as may be necessary
and proper to secure to the State of Georgia the full
benefits contemplated by said act of Congress, so far
as iho same may be found practicable.
31. Sec. II. That to carry into effect the provisions
of this act, there be, and is hereby appropriated the
sum of two thousand ($2,000 00) dollars payable on the
warrant of his Excellency the Governor ; and that this
act be in force from and immediately after its passage.
Approved 12th December, 1866.
The above Statute, approved 12th
December, 1S66, we take to have been
an executory Statute “ until the next
ensuing session of the General Assem
bly of this State,” as set forth in the
Statute.
The Legislature of the State of
Georgia clearly and distinctly in the
above Act authorizes the Governor,
“ as he may deem best to apply for,
receive and sell the lands and land
scrip to which the State of Georgia is
entitled,” and to invest in like manner
as he may deem best,” &c., until the
next ensuing session of the Legisla
ture. Here we see that the Legisla
ture distinctly resumed all authority
over the land scrip at its next ensuing
session—the law presuming that the
Governor’s authority having executed
this office had performed its functions,
and with it had ceased to exist; the su
preme control of the scrip, and the
College then vesting in the Legisla
ture uuder Act of Congress, approved
2d July, 1S62. We see that the Gov
ernor’s authority, therefore, had ceas
ed to exist before Gov. Smith’s election
even ; and therefore, Gov. Smith had
no right to usurp legislative powers,
(which we do not believe he intended)
because the law clearly shows this to
have been an executed, and not an exe
cutory statute. To this the answer
may be givoa “ but we should lose
the scrip,” then we reply “ the fault
will not rest with Governor Smith, but
with the Legislature of Georgia.”—
Another plea may be setup, “that
before the next ensuing session anar
chy prevailed, and the then Governor
was driven from office;” but this ar
gument is of no avail, for it was the
duty of subsequent legislation to have
considered this important matter, and
with them the sin of omission rests ; for
the Legislature having resumed all
control of the land scrip at the next
ensuing session, the law presumes that
the statute was executed, aud was
therefore no longer executory by any
Governor of Georgia, for the authori
ty granted had returned to the Legis
lature by express provision of this very
same statute, and with the Legislature
lies the remedy.
The act accepting the scrip, ap
proved 10th March, 1S66, is also an
executed statute, and its results shall
remain forever with us, &c.
The Act of 12th December, 1S66,
being an executed Statute, and no
good results accruing therefrom, it
became long ago the duty of the Gen
eral Assembly to inquire into the
wrong and apply the remedy.
Jus.
India, hraxil and Egypt, and also to obtain and pub
liih the capacity, and the amount ot cotton consumed
by all factories'encased in working up cotton in the
United States anil Europe, and to send said reports tc
the Central Crop Observation aud Statistical Bureaus
of each State, which in the case ot tins Bureau shall
return th-aggregate report of this State to the Agri
cultural Department at Washington.
See 8lh. Beit further Resolved, That this Society
do. through our delegates to the State Agricultural
Convention, impress upon them the importance of the
step we have taken nnd request that th-Milledgeville
Central Crop Observation and Statistical Bureau be
adepted i fficially by the Georgia State Agricultural
Convention.
The I,aad
Scrip—The .Uncoil Telegraph
nnd Ourselve*.
The Telegraph Sc Messenger, of the 11th instant,
says, that iu our last paper we display a spirit he re
grets to see, and accuses us of demagogueism, because
•we call upon the farmers and mechanics, for whose
benefit ibis scrip was granted, to arouse themseives
and claim their own property, and not suffer it to be
absorbed by a close corporation in Athens, which
has never educated many farmers and mechanics,
and never shown any peculiar sympathy for that
class of people. It is one of the tricks of Rings and
monopolists to cali every one who oppose their selfish
schemes Demagogues. But we did not expect such
a charge against us to come from our respected friend
of the Telegraph. We never sought an office in our
life and never expect to seek one, and we are no dema
gogue. The Teleg'aph will recollect that the appeal
to the mountain boys was not editorial, but in a
communication. Neither are we disposed to do Gov.
Smith any injustice. Indeed we would much rather
defend him, if what some of his friends claim is true.
These who contend that Gov Smith has acted for the
best take three things for granted:
1st. That he was compelled to give the donation to
some institution then, to save it from relapsing.
2d. That he had the. legal right to dispose ot it, and
3d That there was no other institution but the Uni
versity to which lie could give it.
We could not see the necessity of disposing of it at
that time, because there was still three months before
the time was out. and we were told that the representa
tive of the 6.h Congressional Distrct had written to
the State Agricultural Society that ne oould get the
tune extended. But we have since been told that
nono of the members from Georgia dared to ask to
have the time extended, for fear it would be coupled
with conditions which we could not accept. If that ia
true it obviates this difficulty. But if that was true
the attention of the Legislature should have been
called to this imporlaut busine-s before they adjourn
ed, aud if they would not atteud to it, we ihink they
should have been called together again in time to save
the donation from relapsing. The donation was for
the benefit of the agricultural interests of the State,
and it belonged to the representatives of that interest
to dispose of it. We believe the power to dispose of
it still rests with the representatives of the people, and
to them we shall appeal to make such a disposition as
Trill promote the beet interests of their Constituents. If
given to the University at Athens we believe it will
injure that institution, without beii.g a particle of ben
efit to the farming interest of the State. What farmer
will send his boys to the Athens University to be in
structed in farming 1 Not many, and those who do
will be very apt to be disappointed. Students study
ing for the learned professions and the farmer boys
learning to become practical farmers will mingle to
gether like oil and water, or rather like cat and dog
In the forcible words of the Albany News we be
lieve if it is given to the University it will be “ unjust
to the people, at variance with their expressed wishes,
and disadvantageous to the University.” But we have
60 Wish t„ make apolitical question of this business.
•ii** riot *’' n ? to do with politics, and we nre very
wi.hng to believe lhat Gov- Smith did what be though t
1 ie amid the perplexiog difficulties with
which ne was surrounded.
Decoration Day.—We call the atten
tion of our lady iriends to a communica-
tion in to-day’s paper on this subject
gigned Fidus Achates.
The Lady’s Book for May has been re
ceived. It is filled with every kind of in
formation interesting to ladiea?
and how are they going to be taught, mere theory
or science of farming practically. Theoretic farm
ing doesn't pay—bring boys up to the plow ; rath'
er than teach them farming theoretically ; is the
rule the world over. To teach boys the science
of farming practically they have to work on the
farm, yes come right down to it, work on the farm
and not in any four acre patch either, but an
eighty acro ( faror, in this case there has to be a di
vision made—a division between study and work-
A farmer to be a successful one has to be well ac
quainted with his plowhandles, and at the same
time he should be a competent book keeper, ss
g md as any merchant’ Now then with the Agri
cultural School at the Athens University what
will be had T I answer theory is most probable
with a four acre patch—on the other hand suppose
Athens rigs up a farm—what will then be the re
sult? Unless the colleges are at some distance from
each other there will be a constant passage at
arms between the toys wearing smock* and the
literary student*; s state that will be most unhap
py. Farming is even now hooted at by many—
and I say a set of noble youths who determine to
study and work as farmers should not be exposed
to taunts. There is no use for the white people of
this State to shut their eyes to the fact that the
majority of the farmers will be obliged to work.—
Yes to work, and the idea of teaching boys a the.
ory or “what I know about farming,” to make
them farmer* is just about as sensible as making
a balloon a professor.
Another result of giving this land scrip to Ath
ens will be shown in the attendance of farmers’
sons at the college established there. I want the
Macon Telegraph and Messenger to smell ont any
demagogueism in that—and then I want that
same paper to tell why Governor Smith did not
call upon places that had in good faith made offers
to the Agriculturalists, to come up and give a
showing with what you Messrs. Editors are right
in calling the Atlanta ring and the Athens Junto.

Startling Exhibitions of Corruption.
The Washington correspondent of the
Louisville Courier-Journal writes on the
5th inst., the following startling revela
tion, if anything a member of the Radical
administration does can be considered
startling. The writer say6 :
A sharp aggressive debate in the House
to-day on the army appropriation bill
brought out a very startling exhibit of
corruption against the War Department
from the Democratic side Mr. Beck pro
duced an array of figures, which was not
controverted, to show that in the last few
years the War Department had spent
$150,000,000 in the proceeds from tbs
6ale of war material, and were unable
to account for it in detail, as confessed by
the Secretary of War in a letter to the
House. Sixty millions of this amount
were derived from quartermasters’ sales.
This entire total ism addiiton to the reg
ular appropriation made every year
by Congress for the varions bureaus of
that Department. Althongh the Secreta
ry has answered two resolutions of inqui
ry he has utterly failed to show where
this immense sum of money has been
spent.
It was a genuine treat that w»s given to onr
Milledgeville public on Tuesday night of week
before last, by Col. McAdoo of our city under the
auspices of our flourishing Dodge of Good Tern -
plars. A lecture it was, full of interesting thiDgs
about the vegetable kingdom gathered from s
very extensive acquantance wiih the world of let
ters, and from a loving an 1 life long study of the
Flora of the South. It is very much to be regret
ted that the tinfnvorableness of the evening pre.
vented many of our people from being present at
the Lecturo. Most happily did tho Lecturer give
new interest to many plants and trees that grow
right around us. by a felicitous weaving togeth
er of racy incidents and history with Botanical
science. In behalf of those that did not hear the
lecture, as well as in behalf of those that did, we
express the hope that the lecture may be given to
the public from the press, in some shape. The
lecture is at once full of interesting information
and calculated to awaken a taste for one of the most
fascinating and elevating studies in the whole
schedule of the sciences.
P&rhaps no man iu Georgia is better qualified to
prepare such a lecture than Col. McAdoe. In
many a pleasant and instructive ramble with him
in the woods and by the streams adjacent to the
ex-capital, the writer has learned to appreciate
and admire his singular quickness and accuracy
of eye in discovering everything however minute,
that is growing on bill sido and valley—his exten
sive familiarity with the rich Flora of our sunny
Und—and with the Botany of the past and
‘be present. In this day when the physical sci
ences are asserting their great importance, when
years of culture are necessary to fit men to
be educators of our yonth the men that we have
among us with talents and special qual.fi cations
such as are possessed by Col. McAdoo, should be
eagerly sought out by the Trustees of our higher
institutions, and placed iu Professorships when
through the youth whom they interest, they be
come great public blessings
It was a capital thing iu the Good Templars to
inaugurate a course of popular lectures which
shail take their place among the public temper
ance lectures of the Order. Temperance lectures
must not be laid aside, but instructive lectures on
other themes are also needed. Should the Good
Templars continue the plan with vigor, they wil 1
be doing good services to the community. There
is talent enough in Milledgeville to furnish a va
ried aud valuable course of lectures. It is hoped
that the Lyceum plan of years ago will be carried
out; a course of public, lectures extending over
many mouths ; the evenings entertainment being
enlivened by the mnsic of a hand. The old capi*
to! needs new and improving entertainments,
which shall at once give pleasure, and stimulate
the mind to thought and investigation.

We have all lately noticed the death of the man
who—more than any other—has revolutionised mod
ern time*. Statesman or warrior never accomplished
so great a change in the annals cf history at the re

From the Telegraph nnd Messenger,
The Fine Foreala of Urorgin as a Itrsorl
far Invalids— By Ezra It. Fulling, M. D.,
New York.
The above is the title of an article that appeared in
the New York Medical Journal of lost September. It
has since been published in pniopblet form, and in
that shape has jnst been read with greet interest by
the writer of this notice. The proposition of Dr. Bull
ing as one of the leaders of the medical profession of
this country, gives great weight to his words. The
immense aud varied resources of Georgia are not yet
halt understood. Tho subjoined extracts from the
pamphlet indica e its character, and the important
views set forth therein:
“The coniferous forest which extends in a broad belt
parallel to the line of sea-coast between Cape Hitter-
hh and F orida shows throughout much of its extent
the existence of remarkable salutiferous agencies. The
character nnd causes of these agencies appear to be
little understood; some facts, therefore, in relation to
the peculiar characteristics of the pine district of
Georgia, which I was enabled to gather during a few
months' residence there, may be of interest. They
may, pci haps, serve to cal the attention of physicians
to a region easily accessible, which lias a climate simi
lar to that of Italy, which is free from malaria nnd
from excessive humidity, and which, in connection
with its indigenous forest-growth, possesses special
therapeutic advantages that are probably more im
portant to consumptive patients than thermal or hy-
grometric conditions.
The ti act which I wish particularly to notice cov
ers the gieater portion of the tertiary regiou of tne
State of Georgia. This tertiary zone rises gradually
from the coast, till at ite western margin, one iiundred
and fifty miles from the sea. it attains the height of
five hundred feet. Its sloping surtaoe is broken by
two abrupt elevations of about fifty feet each, pre
senting to the eastward ad-uble series of escarpments,
running parallel to the coast, at the respective dis
tances of thirty and fifty miles from the sea- Both
evidently mark the site of the aucient beaches and in
dicate successive upheavals.
From the easteru range of cliff's, westward to the
borders of the tertiary region, almost the entire sur
face of this area consists of fine sand, which is un
derlaid at a variable depth by clay. It is covered
almost solely by terebinthine-trees.
“The long.leaved pine (aud in a less degree that ia
true of all other species) exhales not only large quan
tities of the vspor of tui peutiue, but also a peculiar
aroma from its foliage, which, I thiuk, plays an im
portant part in its therapeutic effects. The former
arises in great part from the dead pines, from which as
the exterior shell decays, the volatile portion of the
turpentine passes off into the atmosphere, ultimately
leaving the interior a mass of woody fibres and resin,
which constitutes the “ light-wood” used by tho in
habitants for fuel and for illuminating purposes.
The remarkable physiological as well as therapeuti
cal effects experienced in this region, though to some
extent due to temperature and to the dry arenaceous
soil, are, I think mainly based on its c niferous forest-
growth, which fills the air with resinous fragrance.
Terebiuthine vapor, absorbed by the skin or inhaled
into the lungs, manifests its presence in many stran
gers by producing slight strangury, which disappears
in a week. The affect of a short residence here is
ususually to improve the appetite, and to increase
mos’ ot the secretions.
As far as malarious affections are concerned, the in
fluence of the pine is preventive rather than curative;
but there is another class of maladies in which its ef
fects are unquestionably therapeutic: I refer to chron
ic organic diseases of the lungs, and especially to pul
monary consumption. Tbeienot only exists a remark
able immunity from this disease in the dry pine re
gion, but phthisical patients who go thither often ex
perience very great benefit, not unfrequently termin
atiug in perfect restoration to health.
“ The dyscrasia which pijpoedes the development ef
phthisis appears to be corrected by the special tonic
and alterative action of the terebinthiue vapor and
aroma. Curative effects are more strikingly mani
fested when the local symptoms of consumption be
come serious and threatening. My own observation,
and the testimony of many patients who have resort
ed to this region (though generally not under circum
stances most favorable to a cure) indicate that a
marked improvement in both general ar.d local symp
toms almost nnitormly occurs within a brief period.
The terebintbine vapor very promptly acts on cavities
in ihe lungs, in the same way that balsamic sub
stances usually do when applied to the ulcerated sur
faces, resnlting from low forms of inflammation, stimu
lating healthy granulation and promoting cicati iza-
tion.
“ Tha mildness and dryness of the climate permit
individuals to pass the greater part of the time in the
open air without extra clothing. The equestrian can
ride in any direction through the open torest, almost
the only obstruction being, at rare intervals, the trunk
of a fallen tree, whila the meadow-like surtace, with
its elaslio carpet of “ wire grass,” renders this mode of
exercise a positive luxury.
It is desirable that the effects of a residence among
the pines on phthisical patients shall be tested under
more satisfactory conditions thau have hitherto keen
available. Iu that part of the pine region where eon
sumptives are likely to receive most benefit, no sani
tarium at present exist*, nor is there a single place
where delicate invalids can rely on obtaining the com
forts which they require. I hope this deficiency may
soon be supplied, so that valetudinarians can avail
themselves of all the local advantage* which thi* re
gion affords.”
The author of tho pamphlet haa expressed the opin
ion to some of bis patients laboring under pulmonary
diseases that tha new and growing town of Eastman,
oa ths Meoou and Brunswick Railroad, haa, ia an em
inent degree, the advantages of the pine belt for con
sumptive patients. It is .V> milee below Macon, the
highest point on the line of railroad between Maoon
and Brunswick, and a glance from the car window in
passing—or stopping to get a good dinner on the up
train—will show that life aud energy are there. An
admirably arranged and furnished Court-house is fast
being finished- a present to the county from lion.
Win. E. Dodge, of New Y'ork, for whom the pew
county was named—a man of princely benefactions.
A large amonr.i. has also been expended by Hou Wm.
Pitt Eastman, for whom the town is named-a man of
like sp : rit wirii Mr. Dodge—in preliminary work
which does not at first glance strike the eye, iu drain
age removal of timber, stumps and laying out streets,
etc. A portion of the lime he has employed some
forty hands in those operations Ho makes vory lib
eral arrangements with persons of the right stamp de
siring to purchase and settle in the community. Can-
Dot some one be found to lea 1 off in establishing an ex
tensive sauitanum at Eastman T Besides being a re
munerative enterprise if Well conducted, it would be a
blessing to a large clrss of invalids and a benefit to
that section of the State. The strong indications of
the rapid incr ase at Eastmnn of all the advantages,
commercial, social, educational and religious, that give
an especial value to a location in a prosperous city—
not only give greater emphasis to the opinions of Dr.
Pulling as to the establishment of a sanitarium at
Eastman, but also suggest that place as a very desira
ble residence for persons of weak lungs, now living in
the colder and more elevated regions of the South,
as well as iu the icy climes of the North and West.

Startling Exhibit of Corruption
Washington, April 5—A sharp and aggres
sive debate in the House to-day on the army ap
propriation bill brought out a very startling exhibit
of corruption against the War Department from
the Democratic side. Mr. Beck produced an ar
ray ot figures, which were not controverted, to
show that in the last few years the War Depart
ment had spent $105,000,000 iu proceeds from the
sales of war material, and was unable to account
for it in detail, as confessed by the Secretary of
War in a letter to the House. Sixty millions of
this amount was derived from quartermasters'
sales. This entire total is in addition to th. regu
lar appropriations made every year by Congress
for the various bureaus of that department. Al
though the Secretary has answered two resolu
tions of inquiry, he has utter y failed to shuw
where this immense snm of money has been speut
THE ALABAMA A BRITISH WAR VESSEL.
In a discussion to-day in the House on a bill to
pay the offi ers and crew of the Kearsage $130,-
000 for destroying the Alabama—being equiva
lent to prize money—Butler charged that the Al
abama was a British built,- British armpd, and Brit
ish manned ship. He said that he had in his pos
session an affidavit of one of the crew of the Kear
sage affirming that one of the crew of the Ala
bama, who died by him, bad stated that it served
him right, tor he had been brought there off the
Deer Hound to fight against the Americans
He expressed a desire to offer an amendment

be claimed *t the Geneva Conference. H-: desir

Sale of Arms to France—An Hone«t Sol
DtEU ON THE Stand.—The government is fuiiy
conscious that it sold arms to France with a per
feet knowledge of their destination, but it has pre'
suined on the inability of Congress to prove it.—
Thore is no donbt in the public mind on the sub
ject, and we think the whoie matter is made very
clear by the testimony of General Franklin, given
to the committee Thursday last. The corrsspon
d nt ol the Baltimore Sun thus refers to it:
General W. B. Franklin, vice-president of the
Colt Arms Company, testified that he knew of the
sale of arms made by the Navy Department to
Poultney, Trimbles &. Co., of Baltimore, in the
spring of 1871, and that Poultney acted as a mid
dleman for Remington. Mr. Poultney informed
the witness that he paid a Mr. Markley ten thou
sand dollars to arrange the purchase with the Na
vy Department. He further testified that the Colt
Company received nine Gatling guns from tho
government, which they repaired for the Reming
tons and turned them over. | This transaction
don't appear in the official record of the War De
partment submitted to the committee] The wit
ness believed that General Dyer and everybody
else almost knew at the time that arms were be
ing purchased from the government aud sold to
France.
Concord, April 11.—The Merrimac is rising
from four to five inches an hoar, and extensive
freshets are imminent. Reports from above, on
streams tributary to the Merrimae say that the
late rain is very disastrous to property. The rail
road bridge on the Contacock River Railroad was
covered and swept away last .night. Ice is rapid
ly disappearing.
The Grouniti of Coafldrnre-
Whence comes that firm reliance, that absolute
undoubting faith in the efficacy of Hostetler's
Stomach Bitters as a remedy for indigestion, bil
ions disorders, intermittent and remittent fevers >
which notoriously prevail in all parts of the United
States 7 This confidence has been growing for
twenty years, and it is still extending. It is not
the result of credulity ; it has not been engender
ed by any human device, but is the spontaneous
and nalnral consequence of experience. What
people »ee daily going on under their own eyes
they cannot question. When families in an'
healthy districts that resort to this wholesome
vegetable tonic, as a preventive, escape periodical
fevers, and thtir immediate neighbors, who neg
lect this precaution, are prostrated by the disease,
how is it possible that the phenomenon should be
without its lesson 7 * In like manner when it i®
aeen that obstinate cases of dyspepsia, of live 1-
complaint, of constipation, of nervous wenkneasi
and of general debility, yield to the operation o*
the famous remedy, how can even incredulity it
self withhold its endorsement 7 Eye-witnesses
of the salutary effects of the Bitters are to be found
in every civilized settlement on Ibis continent —
The thousands upon thousands who owe their re
storation to health and strength, or their preserva
tion from sickness, to its extraordinary medicinal
properties are enthusiastic in its praise. The mul
titudes who recommend it iu a neighborly way to
their friends anif acquaintances, as well as those
who make public their estimate of its virtues, are
always ready to state their reasons for the faith
that is in them. They have all either felt or wit
nessed its beneficent operations.
The question has often been asked by those in
terested, “Can I have my gray hair restored to its
natural color, without coloring the skin 7 and can
my thin lock* be thickened up 7” We answer,
“It can and would advise you to read a treatise
on the hair, which is published by R. P, Hall &
Co., Nashua, N. II , who send it free, upon appli
cation. They are the proprietors of Hail's Vege
table Sicilian Hair Renewer. We learn from it,
the hair in a perfect state of health, is constantly
falling out, and new hairs grow from the same
tubes ; but, in case of any disease ot the scalp, or
by the use of alcoholic preparations, the hair tube
becomes contracted at its mouth, and prevents the
new follicle from reaching the surface. Their
preparation will create a perfectly healthy condi
tion of the scalp, and, by ita tonic properties, will
preserve and strengthen the roots of the hair.

“The Lite of Ihe Flesh is the Bleed.”
This being the fact, it is very obvious that when
the blood becomes corrupted the whole system be
comes corrupt also. To relieve this, the true poli
cy undoubtedly is to direct the remedy to the
source of the disease. It is in this manner that
Dr. Tutt's Sarsaparilla ar.d Queens Delight acts.
Its specific effect is on the blood ; it purifiies it,
vitalizes it, and expels all distemper from the sys
tem.
Being free from violent Minerals, it is adapted
to general nse. The old and young may use it;—
the most delicate female, at any time, may take it;
the weak and enfeebled with be strengthened by
it; the tender infant, who may have inherited
disease, will be cured by it.
For Syphilis, and all its trains of evils, it is a
sure antidote.
