THE FEDERAL UNION.
Comei oj Hancock and Wilkinson Streets.
W^dv^iay Morning, May 15 1872.
£jp° We are exceedingly gratified
to l^arti that the Milledgeville Central
Crop Observation and Statistical de
partment has organized, and is now
issuing its first circulars.
We have but little doubt of its sue
cess if the planters of this State and
the Southern States are w se; for the
gentlemen who have charge of t is de
partment are men of energy and intel
ligence.
The President of this department is
Col Nathan McGehee, who is web
and favorably known. The Colonel
is a planter. The Vice Presidents are
Mr. Richard N. Lamar and Mr. John
H. Furman; of these Mr. Lamar is
planting, and Mr. Furman is a gieat
planter’s man.
“Jolly Varden.”—See this merry
young gentleman’s spicy news letter
in our paper of to-day. Wonder if
he’s a brother of the famous “Dolly’'?
We congratulate Sparta on having
such a racy young writer as a citizen.
We shall be happy to hear from “Jolly
V.’* often.
The Press Convention.—From
the reports of their proceedings given
in tiie Atlanta papers, we should think
the representatives of the press must
have had a very pleasant time. The
reception given them by Mrs. Dr-
Westmoreland must have been de
lightful whilst it lasted, but after they
left we are told many of them com
plaiued of being heart-hungry, and
then what will their wives say? that is
the rub.
A GRKAT MISTAKE.'
It is reported that Horace Greeley
owes his nomination at Cincinnati to
his supposed strength at the South.—
Jfithut is the case, there never was a
greater mistake, and a more foolish
blunder. Outside of the Democratic
party Mr. Greeley has very little
strength, and probably could not get
an electorial vote in all of the South
ern States- If the Democracy should
adopt the Cincinnati ticket, it will
probably get the vote of nearly or
quite every Southern State, but it the
Democracy puts forth a separate and
a popular ticket,Mr. Greeley’s strength
at the South will be found but very
small. We see that it is believed at
the North that Mr. Greeley can con
trol a large part of the negro vote.—
This is a great delusion, the Radical
negroes all vote with the Radical of
fice holders, and of course they will all
vote tor Grant, it Mr. Greeley is sup
ported by the Democracy those negroes
who generally vote with the white
men wiii vote for him, otherwise lie
will get no support from the negroes
at the South, and Mr. Greeley’s friends
need not make any calculations on the
negro vote. Where the carcass is,
there will the vultures be gathered to
gether, and where the offices are there
will the negroes flock* They have
been fed from the public crib until
many of them do not know how to
live without it. The article below
from the Telegraph and Messenger is
perfectly correct and in point, and Mr.
Greeley and his friends sooner or later
will find it so.
The Nkgko Vote.—We see that
the New York Sun and other Liberal
Republican papers entertain very san
guine expectations of a large negro vote
for Mr. Greeley, and the philosopher
himself is reported as having express
ed great confidence in the good opin
ion and partiality of the negroes of the
South particularly.
There is nothing more idle or
groundless than such anticipations.—
The mass of the negro voters iu the
South will go for Grant, and as to the
North, Mr. Greeley’s friends have al
ready had a hint from the proceedings
of the Negro State Convention at
Troy, on the Sth, which unanimously
pledged the votes of the New York
negroes to the same direction.
'The sooner the Greeley men can
shake oft that delusive anticipation the
wiser and safer they will be. If Mr.
Greeley secures the support of the
Democrats he will probably carry all
the Southern Ststes except, South Car
olina ; but it will be by the white
votes and such scattering negro con
tributions as the personal influence of
the white voters may be able to secure
for him.
As to any special popularity lie or
his friends may think he holds with
the negroes, it will not add an omnibus
load to his backers among the colored
race. If Mr- Greeley and his friends
are not aware of this fact, it is time
they should be, and govern themselves
accordingly. Let them take the testi
mony of any or all Southern men of
common intelligence and reasonable
opportunities for observation, and they
will hardly find a conflict of opinion
on this point. Greeley, if elected at
all, will be elected by the white popu
lation. Grant will pre tty much mo
nopolize the votes of three classeB
negroes, bondholders and office-hold
ers.

WHEIIE ARE net A NO IF WE ARE
NOT T1 ERE, WHERE AKE WE f
To speak with words of soberness
and truth, the majority of the Demo
cratic papers are in just such a fix a9
that.
Surely those papers now indulging
in such a UaLant blathering for Horace
Greelev have not given their subject
due consideration, and while he has
told what he “ knows about farming”
they are ranting on what they know
about the Presidential campaign and
election.
But to be serious: If the National
Democratic Convention nominates
Horace Greeley, or does not nominate
at all—simply endorsing him—then,
and only then, are we for him ; other
wise we will see the old white hat bob
op and down iu the storm, arid sink to
the depths of oblivion. In the mean
while we propound a few questions to
all; and first we will begin with an
illustration, which means no reflection
at all: We reckon that everybody
remembers 1864; Sherman was then
advancing ori Joe Johnston, and Gen
eral Joe was retreating and killing,
about five to one; Confederate Gov
ernment doesn't like General Joe’s
tactics and supercedes him, thereby
acknowledging to the world and Un
cle Sam, that all of that lost territory
was a military mistake, and there the
Confederacy made its error, for if Gen.
Johnston bad not been relieved, Sher
man never would have made his march
to the sea. We have all long ago
igreed upon that.
Now some papers would have the De
mocratic party to make the same fear
ful mistake, viz : acknowledge all that
the Democratic party has said and
lone up to this time to be a false
policy ; it must change its tactics they
say, and go in for Horace Greeley, and
it the Democratic party does change
its tactics, as we have said before, we
are with it if it ruus into the ground,
just as we were with the Confederacy.
Suppose, however, that the Demo
crats learn wisdom by the past, how
(hen? There are other good liberal
Republicans besides H. G., and, as this
movement clearly proves, that even
there are extreme Radicals who are
disgusted with the way their present
office-holders have managed—so much
so that they are for pulling out. Does
that not show their discontent to be
deep seated? Asa matter of course
it is so.
We, then, are in favor of this: the
nomination of a candidate by the De
eratie party who will fill the bill ex
actly, and who will be far more accept
able to the people than Horace Gree
ley ; and the Democrats have Charles
Francis Adams and Judge Davis, be
sides plenty of good Democrats, to
choose from.
Horace Greeley says that “ if the
Democrats try to take advantage of
(he split in the Radical ranks” that he
will withdraw and support the Phila
delphia nomination ; and in the face of
ihat is Horace to be trusted? On
the other h<nd, if the Democrats
adopt the policy, Horace Greeley says
i hat he is in lavor of, and nominates
tn-m acceptable to Horace Greeley’s
ideas, will Horace Greeley then come
fuwti and support the Philadelphia
nominee? If he does he will cut his
own throat.
In the meanwhile, it is the voice of
the people over the entire South:
-‘Any body rather than Grantbut
is that the result of calm judgment, or
are they led by their desire? We
opine to the latter.
Have the papers that are out and
out for Greeley reflected this—that
til they say is calculated to divide the
Democratic party; so that in the
event the Philadelphia Convention
does not nominate Grant, their work
will have delivered their party over
to Radicalism bound hand and foot.
Let all who are true Democrats
await the action of their own party
and be not over hasty.
We are sorry to see that there are
-ome in. the Democratic party who
are desirous of dictating rather than
advising. Democrats should stand
“shoulder to shoulder,” and “where
the offence is, let the great axe fall.”
HYPERCRITICAL.
A writer in the Telegraph and
Messenger of the 9th inst., we do not
suspect friend Clisby of any such non
sense, but some Dolly Varden critic
takes us to task for calling Chancellor
Lipscomb, Doctor, and for mis-spelling
his name. If we spelt the name wrong
we certainly did not intend it, and
as for the title we contend it is both
respectful and correct. We believe
he is a Doctor of Divinity, and it is a
time honored custom to call Presidents
of Colleges who are Doctors of Divin
ity, Doctor. The President of Union
College was always called Dr. Nott.
The President of Brown University,
Dr. Wnyland, and perhaps our critic
may have heard of Dr. Dwight, Presi

breath of the morning
opinion Horace Greeley will drive ofi ;
more Democratic votes than he will
get Republican. We are sorry that
the Democratic Convention of Ten
nessee acted so precipitately. But
we hope they have not gone too far
to retract. If so, we believe the De
mocracy had better do without Ten
nessee than to follow her lead. Gree
ley’s strength at the South is all a
humbug ; any State which the De
mocracy can count for Horace Gree
ley, they can carry mu'ch stronger
without him- We hope the Demo
cratic Convention will give us a strong
Democratic ticket and risk the conse
quences. Horace can never get the
vote of the entire Democracy, and to
endeavor to rally them on him wo fear
will demoralize the party.
WE LEARN,
Through a letter received from one
of the most prominent ex-U. S. Sen
ators (democratic) of Illinois, that “the
democratic masses of his State will
not support Horace Greeley, in any
event, whether the National Demo
cratic Convention nominates him or
does not nominate at all.”
Now if the Senator is right and we
know him to be rarely ever wrong,
are not some people building up a most
ridiculous superstructure for them
selves?
The whole question is simply this.
We of the South want “anybody rath
er than Grant,” but the Northern De
mocracy has none of our home issues
troubling them—and the Northern
Democratic party owes its existence,
during the past years of gloom and de
spondency, to the exertions of those
untiring men who lost position when
the Democrats were defeated, but have
never ceased battling manfully for the
right. The majority of those men
who are the old Democratic office-hold
ers, look upon the Cincinnati Conven
tion, as the destroyer of their hopes
and they will in no event support
Horace Greeley.
For the Federal Union.
CROP PROSPECTS.
We have in the past two weeks
traveled over a considerable portion of
Georgia and Alabama.
In Cherokee Georgia all crops were
promising, and the wheat especially
presented an excellent appearance,
where it bad not been winter killed.
North Georgia was not then suff-ring
for rain very much, but we presume
the cotton crop is by this time.—
Wheat had best not have rain until it
has ceased blooming and the heads
commence filling, then rain will make
a lieavv wheat crop.
The great product of North Geor
gia should be hay, but the local rates
of freight on ihe Western and Atlantic
Railroad, in connection with the other
roads of our State has killed its pro
duction ; a matter that is a crying
shame and disgrace to our State.
Through all ot Middle Georgia the
cotton crop on gray sandy lands bids
fair to be a failure, for it is dying for
want of rain and planters have i.o seed
to replant with, thus that class ol land
is losing its stand of cotton. On the
red or clay lands, where the cotton
has come up, it looks much better.
Our observation in Georgia and Ala
bama leads us to conclude, after a care
ful estimate, there is at least one-third
of the cotton crop yet to come up.
We learn that nearly the same state
of affairs continues to the Mississippi
river. West of the Mississippi the
prospect for a cotton crop is said nev
er to have been better.
We have made up our mind that
without extraordinary seasons the
crop of 1S72 will not exceed three
million of bales, and that guess is at
present our maximum.
The men who are bleating out a
four million bale crop have failed to
consider together the three most im
portant features of the crop: 1st, the
wet weather east of the Mississippi
which extended over a majority of the
cotton growing territory of that sec
tion, prevented anything like fair pre
pa ration.
2d. The teriible meanness and loss
of cotton seed from rot, and unaccounl
able causes.
3d. This terrible dry weather that
has caught and is holding back one-third
of the cotton crop

in farming, but we feel a deep inter

laid out either cold or hot. We do
not fear the recoil of oui blunderbuss
in the least but believe there is more
danger of our Dolly Varden critic
bursting from internal pressure than
of our being kicked over.
The great tone of the Democratic
press ot the country is agairst a hasty
judgment in reference to the Cincin
nati movement, but to submit the
question to the decision of a National
Democratic Convention, soon to be
called, and in the meantime to inter
pose no obstacle to the adoption of
any couise that may then be found
best to meet the emergency presented.
In the terse language of the New
York World, the temper of the three
parties at present may be thus ex
pressed: “The Liberals confident;
the Radicals sneering; the Democrats
waiting.”—Sav. News:

A large wedding party was given.
Among these present, writes a friend,

floral
the sweet
I fell into
meditation. My musings were of
that ambitious and hopeful nature
which generally form the material out
of which young people rear those
costly structures known as “castles
in the air.” I had built my edifice
and was about peopling it with ideal
beings which I hoped would one day
be realities. Hope was at its highest
success; was at its crowning point
when I came to grief. I had suffered
the reins to fall loosely in my fingers
when they suddenly tightened, and
with a bound that almost threw me
out of the buggy my horse dashed
aside, and then sped on in a full run.
On we went in as mad a race as that of
John Gilpin.
“ So like an arrow swift he flew."
By a great deal of sawing at the bit
I finally tempered the mettle of my
steed to a much slower gait, and suc
ceeded in turning his head toward the
fence so as to stop him. In springing
from my buggy I found I had split a
nice tight-fitting boot, and that my
buggy was injured in several places.
Necessity is a very inventive origin
ator, and I was not slow in tying the
broken cross-beam so as to proceed—
all the while bestowing a few emphat
ic expletives on the old basket which
had frightened my horse and caused
the damage to my boot and buggy.
I re-entered my vehicle, cured tem
porarily of castle building, and deter
mined to be more careful in reining in
my fractious beast. Tobacco is a won
derful soother of the rutiled feelings.
I find it a good curative for small vexa
tions ; so I lighted my cigar and reach
ed Milledgeville at a much later hour
than 1 intended.
On inquiring I learned that Messrs.!
Parker & Collins were master work
men in repairing and making buggies
1 took my vehicle to them and there
learned that it was worse damaged
than I had supposed. It could not be
repaired until the ensuing day. Mr
Parker very politely showed me a
number oi very handsome side-spring
patent-wheeled buggies of their own
manufacture, with all the new im
provements in style, and handsomely
painted by Mr. Gray. These can be
procured at the reasonable sum of
SI65 each. Parties needing handsome
buggies should read Messrs. Parker &
Collins’ advertisement in your paper
and patronize home manufactures.
Hav ing a day of leisure—Tuesday—
I went to see the “Dolly Varden”
Club beat the “Old Capitol” at base
ball. Not wishing to exhibit a torn
boot to the fair damsels of Milledge
ville, I stepped into the boot score
of Mr. Fred Haug, intending to get
mine repaired. By a most fortu
nate accident he had on baud a pair ot
his own make that fitted my foot neat
ly. I purchastd them at a very reas
onable figure; left my old boot for
repairs, determined hereafter always to
get my boots made there. Mr. Haug
has a line assortment of shoes at low
rates; and it he has not advertised he
ought to advertise in the Federal
Union, so that the country people will
know where to go to get good bar
gains.
I want our Sparta boys to play base
ball against the clubs mentioned. The
latter are expert players, but I must
boast a little, and say our boys can't
be beaten.
Hearing in your city of Miss Logan’s
lectures in Macon, 1 came hither to
hear her. I imagined I should be sur
prised at the novel spectacle of seeiug
a lady enter and address an audience;
but Miss Logan came iu so gracefully,
and spjhe in such a racy and common-
sense manner that it seemed a most
natural thing for her to be on the stage.
Miss Logan is tall, fine looking and
full of anecdote and fun. This, with
her knowledge of human nature and
cultivation on the stage, gives the
great power in swaying the feeliugs ot
tier audience and makes her a charm
ing lecturer. Her sentiments are
strictly moral. Her telling blows
tall heaviest on vice and folly of every
description; and there is nothing in
her lecture which the most refined
gentleman or lady in our land would
be shocked to listen to
As I came Irom the Olive Logan
lecture. I passed a large hall brilliantly
lighted, within which the sounds of
powerful oratory were audible. The
hour was late- A gray-coated po
liceman lounged near by on a goods-
box, and I enquired of him if there
was divine service in the building re
ferred to. “ Divine service !” exclaim
ed he in evident compassion at my mid
night darkness of ignorance “ Divine
service! No indeed, its only them
Radicals a workin round tharr ” I
soon learned from this official that the
Rads of the Grant stripe, Akerman,
Adams, Apeoria Bradley, and “ all
sich,” had been holding a State Con
vention in Macon, and that what I
was listening to was the Convention
“ tapering off.” I could not hear the
orator’s language, but it had a Bunker
Hill, Fourth of July “pomp and cir
cumstance” in it. Floating on the
oight air were odors: a companion
thought them odors of the China tree,
now in bloom, but I thought they
smelt like African blossoms.
The cotton crop along the route ap
pears sickly and backward. Farmers
complain of not getting a “ good
stand” and the ex-King bids fair to be
less prominent aud lucrative to the
impoverished South thau ever.
Excuse haste.

The Cincinnati Nomination.—
The nomination of Horace Greeley
for the Presidency by the Cincinnati
Liberal Republican Convention, will
take the country by surprise, as here
tofore any mention of his name in
connection with that High position has
been received with a smile of derision.
He is a tolerably good man, in his
way. full of crotchets and vagaries,
but we believe honest and conscien
tious on most subjects. What his
strength may be, and to what extent
he may draw off supporters from Grant
we are unable to predict at this time,
but we doubt if any overwhelming en
thusiasm is aroused among the people
in his behalf, Certainly he cannot,
nor can his friends, expect any consid
eration at the hands of the Democra
cy. For two generations he has been
our bitter and unrelenting opponent
and reviler, and it would be a loss of
all self-respect for the Democracy to
rally around a standard borne by Hor
ace Greeley !— Terre Haute (Indiana)
