' 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: Yens—Messrs.

[ Cincinnati Enquirer, 23d. 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 kinds $32,110,534 ; of merchaiidi-e $10,934,- 152 ; of stocks and bonds $2,579,905; of cot ton manufactories $1,461,753; of iron .fiiiuw’uig siausties' Vita reference to Bibb county, may be found of interest: No. of white Polls 967 No. of colored Polls 537 Total No. of Polls 1504 No. of Professions 48 Dentistg 3 Deguerrean Artists 1 Billiard Tables 11 Auctioneers 1 No. of Acres of Land 838,837 Aggregate Value of Land $1,307,525 Value ol City and Town Property 3,5 48,990 Amount of Money and Solvent debts of all kinds 1,292.575 Merchandise .■ 845,275 Capital Invested in Shipping 300 Stocks and Bonds 91,600 Cotton Manufactories 130,000 Iron Works, Foundries, etc 170,220 Household and Kitchen Furniture 114,505 Plantation aud Mechanical Tools above S3OO, 17,625 Value of all other Property not enumerat ed, except annual crops, etc 298,030 Aggregate Value of all property 7,649,195 Value after deducting S2OO, 7,448,220 Number of children between 6 and 18.... 316 Amount of tax 011 polls and professions.. 1,791 Amount of net tax paid by each county... 23,6 Tb 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.

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.

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.
