THE SUPPLY OF MEA’t. '
The advanced and advancing prv*» Q f
bacon and bulk meats has probably ai
traded the attention of most of our read
ers, says the Columbus Enquirer. The
Western packers and dealers are indulg
ing in calculations of higher prices thaa
any they have obtained since the war,
and their anticipations are based upon the
increased demand to come from the South.
The circular of a St. Louis packer, from
which we make an extract below, assumes
that the South will this year buy aud con
sume double the quantity of Western
meat that it consumed last year. We do
not know upon wbat data this statement
is founded, but we hope that it is far from
correct. The difficulties of raising pork
at the South have, we know, alarmingly
increased since the “freedom” of the ne
groes. But this very advance in meat,
founded upon its scarcity at the South, is
enough to convince planters of the im
policy of planting too much cotton, to the
neglect of the provision crops. We now
see that the Western hog raisers and
dealers have been enabled to effect a con
siderable advance in the price of meat, by
the happening of just such a state of
things in their market as that which has
produced a great advance in the price of
cotton. They say that their hog crop is
short; that the consumption exceeds the
supply; that the stock of bacon at the
South (the chief buying section) is lower
now than it has been for a long time, and
that the demaud is hurrying their meat
to market much sooner than usual. This
is precisely tiie condition of things that
has carried cotton up to its present figure.
It should admonish cotton planters that a
large crop of their staple reacts against
their own interests in two ways—it pre
vents the condition that has made the
existing improvement in prices, and it
enables those who supply ti*?m with pro
visions to run up their prices pari passu
with the advance in cotton.
It is true that the old plan of letting
hogs run at large most of the year will not
now answer at the South. But it is equal
ly true that it will not do for cotton plant
ers to buy the most of their meat from the
Western hog raisers. It becomes, there
fore, a question of plantation economy
whether it will not “pay” to lay off lots
for the hogs, in which may be cultivated
for them crops maturiug successively
throughout the year—say oats for spring
aud summer, peas and peanuts for the
fall, and rye and turnips for the winter.
Though our people have “accepted the
situation” imposed upon them by the re
sult of the war, they have yet much to
accomplish in order to adapt their house
hold aud plantation economy to the new
order of things, and this matter of raising
their own meat is one of the objects re
quiring serious cousideration.
The following is the extract from the
circular of the St. Louis packer, above re
referred to:
Evidence daily accumulates, going to
show that the present year the South will
demand and consume double the quanti
ty of provisions that she did last year. In
view of this fact, wbat is the condition of
the trade in the hog product of the West
at this time? The South is consuming
meat of the new crop, while the old stock
was consumed long before new cure could
he got forward. This is unusual for tiie
season, and is of great importance. In
tiie face of this fact we have the evidence
that there is at least an even chance for a
small crop of hogs to give us the meat for
Hie coming wauls. Could we come up to
last year’s crop we should then be delff
cient, for that only met the necessities,
which were cramped by the lack of means
to pay. Now, with increased facilities for
payment, and a consumption so far, of the
new crop, astonishing aud unusual, and
yet legitimate, as we have before this re
marked, the “hog product” is to be short
this year iu any event thatcau now occur.
Home writers are descanting upou the fact
that the present high prices are checking
the exportations. To our mind this is of
little concern, for, from present appear
ances, the West will have no provisions
to send out of the country. The home
consumption will be as much as we cau
meet, and we may not be able to even do
far, and that majority predict they will.
Relative to high prices," we state, without
fear of contradiction, that lie who buys
bogs at 9Jc. gross, and sells the product at
the present market rates, losses money on
every hog slaughtered. One thing is pal
pable, either hogs must come down in
price or the product must go higher than
any price we have yet seen. It is estima
ted that at the present time tiie stock of
lard is only about half, aud that of pork
only about one-quarter of tiie stock of last
year at Chicago, aud other points also
short.”
HOW THEY VOTED.
The Constitution, of Monday, in response
to a request by a correspondent, to publish
the yeas aud nays on the question of in
definitely postponing a motion to reduce
tiie pay of members of the Legislature,
gives them as follows. We do not know
how much it costs to live in Atlanta, but
we do know that in the present straitened
condition of the people’s finances, a great
majority of them, as we are informed, are
very certain that $9 per day is too much to
pay for legislation. We despise that kind
of demagogueism which slops over so
often and so disgustingly in clamors for a
false economy as much as anybody, but
we cannot refrain from expressing the
decided opinion that the gentlemen who
voted on the question missed a capital
opportunity of demonstrating their will
ingness to secure a very wise and impera
tive measure of retrenchment. We hope
they may not have reason hereafter, to
regret it when asking the people for
! further favors:

REJECTED.
We suppose the Senate will sustain the
majority of the committee reporting
a K f oßt Mr. Hill’s right to a seat in the
Seuate, that the question of bis rejec
tion may be Aousidered settled for this
Congress at least, \vtiat new develop
ments aud new lights tbe 4th of March,
and Grant in office, may bring, there is
no toiling just now.
We take this action with reference to
Mr. Hill as conclusive of the wish and
the intention of the Jacobin majority at
Washington to tiuker still further at the
reconstruction job in Georgia; at least to
tbe extent of putting the negroes back in
the Legislature. With that crowd re
seated, and the 14th Article drag-net
rigorously applied, such a majority might
be manufactured as to secure anew Sena
torial deal. Brown, and the creature from
Augusta, may yet have tlieir innings.
Let the Legislature not be Hurried, how
ever, by this or any other sign from Wash
ington. If they have made up their minds
not to try the experiment of spiking the
enemy’s guns, by submitting the question
of negro eligibility to tbe courts, let them
stand firm on that line. Go ahead, and
attend to State business, just as if there
were no such things as a partisan Con
gress, aud carpet-bag and scalawag pimps
aud whippers-in to shape its policy.
There are a great many subjects needing
attention in which all tbe people are
interested, and which can be legislated
for without much hazard of nullification
afterwards. Let these be attended to just
as soon as possible, aud then let home be
the word.
Above all, let there be no flurry and
excitement over Mr. Hill’s rejection, or
anv other news that w”““ *>v*nra Washing
ton. Take it coolly, gentlemen, and stick
to whatever policy has been reached as
tbe res'uit of your best judgments, unheat
ed and unwarped by passion or prejudic.®
COMPTROLLER GENERAL’S REPORT.
We have received a copy of this report
covering the period from August 11, 1868,
to January Ist, 1869, aud submitted io the
Executive on the 12th inst.
We have only room for some brief ex
tracts from it.
It apppears that the receipts into the
Treasury from August 11th, 1868, to Jan
uary Ist, 1869, including amount turned
over by Rockwell, Military Treasurer,
were $547,653, and that the expenditures
for the same period were $430,957 77, leav
ing a cash balance on hand on January
Ist of $116,695 65.
The assets of the State are stated by the
Comptroller to be as follows :
1838 shares Bank of the State of Geor
gia, worthless. 890 shares Bank of Au
gusta, worthless. 186 shares Geo. R. R. &
B. Cos., at S9O per share, $16,740. 10 000
shares A. & Gulf R. R. at $35 00, $350,000.
The Western <fc Atlantic R. R., stretch
ing from Atlanta, Georgia, to Chatta
nooga, Tennessee, belongs to the State of
Georgia, and is yielding to the State
$25,000 per month, net revenue. It is re
quired by law to report this Road without
any stipulated value. And, inasmuch as
tiie Road and its management have been
the subject of recent inspection, and no
doubt thorough investigation by a Joint
Committee of the General Assembly, it
Would be a work of supererogation toeuter
into details as to its va'ue anti present or
future profits, even if the law required it.
I deem it also unnecessary to enter into
details in reference to tbe public property
about Milledgeville, for a similar reason.
The State, during the war, was interested
with certain individuals in the manufac
ture of cards, tiie company being known
as the Pioneer Card Company. Since the
war the business was suspended, the ma
chinery, a large number of cards, and a
quantity of material remaining on hand.
Some of this property was sold, but how
much I am unable to say, and some still
remains at Milledgeville.
There are in the State 30,816,025 acres of
land, valued at $87,117,616. Theaggregate
value of city and town property is $38,-
473,905; of money and solvent debts of all

THE VIRGINIA COMMITTEE'S INTERVIEW
WITH GEN. GRANT.
The Washington correspondent of the
Richmond Whig, iu a letter dated January
18, gives the following accouut of the Vir
ginia Conservative Committee’s interview
with Gen. Grant:
The Committee, accompanied by several
other gentlemen from Virginia, made a
second visit to Gen. Grant this morning,
also visiting President Johuson and Gen.
Schofield, l heir conversation with Gen.
Grant related principally to the Virginia
movement, and nis remarks on the sub
ject weie in the highest degree encour
aging. He seemed to desire no secrecy as
to his view’s, but spoke out with perfect
openness and freedom. I feel that no con
fidence is violated when I say that he
“sincerely desired that this whole subject
would soon be settled.” He has evidently
studied our Virginia affairs, and fully un
derstands the Underwood Constitution.
He expresses himself as beiDg firmly in
saver of striking out the disfranchising
clauses of that instrument. The home
stead clause and the provisions relating to
county organization, which last he seems
to regard as more objectional even than
the rest. He said that if permitted to
stand as a part of the Constitution, they
would necessitate the election of negro
judge*, sheriffs, magistrates, clerks, com
monwealth’s attorneys, constables, etc.,
etc., aud that the condition of affairs
would be so intolerable that in those local
ities where there is a preponderance of
blacks, the whites would be compelled to
remove and seek homes in other portions
of the
carried out, and indicated his confidence
in such a result.
The conversation with President John
son was more genera!, bearing but slightly
on the subject above referred to. He
thanked the Committee for calling and
talked pleasantly. Gen Schofield’s views
are so well understood that it is needless
to refer particularly to them.

The following letter from one of the most re
spected citizens of Monroe County tells the
whole story. We have other letters, and can
give the names of many who will not do without
it, if it is to be had; but we prefer to give a letter
from a man who is well and favorably known by
almost everybody in Bibb and Monroe Counties,
Such a man is Dr. LEROY HOLT:
Monroe County, Ga., Dec. 25, 1868. •
Messr•. Jones, Baxter & Day:
Gentlemen—ln reply to your Inquiry, I take
pleasure In saying my experience with the
CHESAPEAKE PHOSPHATE, I bought of you
last spring, has been very favorable. I used (200)
two hundred pounds upon (J£) three-fourths of
an acre, third year’s new ground, applying it in
the drill, rows three feet apart, sixteen Inches in
the drill, on which I had five thousand seven
hundred stalks of Cotton. From this I gathered
(1824) eighteen hundred and twenty-soar pounds
of Cotton. The last of August the worms com
ralttoH »»«'" * !♦ ~ ** *
late crop. Had it not been for the worm 1 should
have made at least one-third more on the land.
I can cheerfully recommend it to planters as a
Fertilizer for Cotton.
Respectfully,
[Signed] L. HOLT.
We have also received Two Hundred Bags
and Barrels BAUGH’S RAW BON* PHOS
PHATE. This article has been before the public
for thirteen years, and there are now over 10,000
tons sold annually.
Read the following letter from a well known
citizen of Monroe county:
Monroe County, Ga., Jan. 4, 1860.
Afr. Qeorge Dugdale, Baltimore :
Dear Sir—l made an experiment upon Cotton
the past season with Baugh’s “ Rawbone Phos
phate.”
I used It at the rate of only one hundred pounds
per acre, applying It in the row with the seed,
and the yield of cotton from land to which the
Phosphate was applied was one hundred per cent.
greater than from lands on whieh no fertilizer
was used, the difference being so great that I
could see to the very row where I stopped dropping
the Phosphate.
I can with confidence recommend Baugh’s
Rawbone Phosphate as being a reliable and sat
isfactory article.
Very truly yor.rs,

GUSTIN’S AMMONIATED
Raw - Bone Superphosphate.
This reliable fertilizer has been
fully tested by our Planters for the past two
years. Among the many testimonials 1 subjoin
only the following, from the January number of
the Southern Cultivator. Dr. E. M. Pendleton, of
Sparta, in a communication, says:
•‘Gustiu’s Ammonlated Phosphate paid 418 per
cent, on the investment.”
Dr. Samuel C. Hitchcock, of the same
writes me that Gustin’s Aminoniated Phosphate
paid a much larger pei cent, than any of five
different kinds of Fertilizers he used on his Cot
ton crop the past season.
Jno. A. Howard, of Houston County, under
date of November 10th, writes: “I am well
pleased with your Ammouiated Raw-Bone Su
perphosphate, and shall buy of it entirely for my
next crop.”
W. E. Boler, of Houston County, under date of
November 21st writes: “Your Ammouiated Raw-
Bone Superphosphate has paid me well. Have
made by the use of it nine bales to the hand.”
