The Crops.—The growing crops in this section, thus far, have met with no serious injury from any source, if vve except too great haste in putting ttie cotton seed into the ground, ia apprehension of tlie cater pillar, which last season destroyed all the lute cotton. On account of tlie cold spells of weather last month, some complain tiiat their cotton has failed to come up regular ly, causing a poor stand. But, all things considered, cotton is doing well, especially in the uplands. Much guano lias been used on the most "f our crops, and more than ordinary labor expended in the preparation of the laud before planting, t’oru looks well, aud is growing rapidly. Much of it is knee-high, and some few stalks, here and there, are waste-high. We have not yet seen a sor ry Held of corn, or one that has not been plowed oversiuce the late heavy rains. A brge proportion of our lands have been planted in corn. Hie failure last year to make corn, on ;uVl, unt of tiie nine-weeks drought, com pel led our planter* to sow large quantities ‘ eats, more, perhaps, than was ever ■iimwn in ibis section before; oats being ? n excellent substitute for corn and fodder >n feeding stock. These oats are now be cuning to head, aed are all tiie laud is ca pable of producing. s ugar-cane lias beeu largely planted, ami II is looking well.

Fort Valley, Ga.. May 6. SUNDAY SCHOOL RESOLUTIONS. At a meeting of the representatives ol I ‘ s 'sßbath Schools and citizens of Fort > alley, held on the 6th iustaut, it was unanimously Resolved, Ist. That our hearty thanks ■ are hereby tendered to the authorities oi the Southwestern Railroad for their gen erous accommodation in furnisbir g trans portation for our Sabbath Schools on their aunual May celebration. We also tender our acknowledgements and praise to the contractors ami other railroad officers, who were personally present nu tiie ex cursion, and distinguished themselves by their gentlemauly courtesy and kindness. Resolved, 2d. That we hereby express our grateful appreciation of the cordial end genuine Christian welcome displayed to us by our friends of Butler. May the links of friendship’s chain, thus united, he made stronger and brighter by many happy re-unions. Resolved, 3d. That the Macon daily Journal and Messenger is respectfully requested to give publication to these resolutions. Wm. J. Anderson, Chairman. R. I.e Sueur, Secretary. Editor of Daily Journal and Messenger — Dear Sir: I send you above a series of resolutions, which will explain them selves, that were passed at a meeting to day in Fort Valley. Though we cannot perform things upon so magnificent a scale as the inhabitants of our cities, and after the model of “Im perial Rome,” yet, even we, of our rural villages and districts, have our excursions and celebrations, affording a pleasure and a charm peculiarly their own. The trains being ready, the ladies and little girls were carefully disposed in lour passenger cars, and the gentlemen and boys were stowed away in numerous box cars; aud a little after 9 o’clock, a. m., with the usual rousing blow of the steam whistle, and many a* merry laugh and cheer, we took our departure from Fort Valley, destined for the town of Butler. When we arrived at the latter place, we found its Sunday schools drawn up in line for our reception. The Fort Valley Sunday schools, Baptist and Methodist, soon formed in front of those in Butler. The Sunday school song, “We come with song to greet you,” was then sung by the Fort Valley Schools. This met with an appropriate responsive song from the But ler schools. Thereupon, Col. Wallace of Butler, delivered an exceedingly appro priate salutatory and reception address, which was very eloquently answered by E. M. Brown, Esq., of Fort Valley. A recess of thirty minutes was then announ ced. At the end of this, the multitude were assembled under a bush arbor near the side of the railroad, and other exer cises were accomplished. After very pleasant singing, we had a most impres sive prayer offered by the Rev. Walter R. Branham. An address was made by Rev. T. B. Russell, and one by Prof. Calhoun. The benediction was offered by tiie Rev. B. L. Koss, of Fort Valley. Between the addresses were interspersed delightful songs. Tiie number of persons assembled was quite large. The viands were ample and very palatable, aud received full at tention. The whole interview was orderly and becomiug;and it it hoped, beneficial to the cause of gxxl morals and true religion. Our country and village-side celebrities present, were too numerous to be men tioned here. Very respectfully, Tea Bee. May 6th, 1809. LETTER FROM TERRELL COUNTY. Dawson, Ga., May 5, 1869. Editor Journal and Messenger As I am somewhat of a local rambler.it may lie proper and possibly interesting to some of your readers that I should report tiie condition of crops in Terrell and adjoin ing counties. I therefore report progress. The planters have exercised unusual energy and pains in the preparation of their lands, aud used great care in the planting of their crops—all, or very near all, using more or less of the commercial fertilizers. The “stands” of corn were never better, nor the prospect at this sea son for an abundant crop more promising. Not so favorable, however, for cotton. Where the lands are very level and low, the late heavy rains and the frost have injured the “stands,” and the soil so “sobbed” that in some localities tiie plants are dying. Cultivation is going bravely on. The laborers, in the main, Avorkiug well, be baviag’well. Tiie oat crop, which is large, promises well. Not much wheat sowu, but the few “patches” that I have seeu to look fine. More anou. Yours, * Esculapius. P. S.—l have just heard of the killing of one of the freedmeu on the plantation of Captain Holt, in Calhoun county. On last Friday evening one of the hands went into the woods, carrying with him his gun. Soon after passing the field where the other hands were at work, the report of his gun was heard. About dark he re turmd; but an elderly freed man outlie place, who was also absent, did not return that night, nor Saturday, Sunday nor Monday. Captain Holt arrived on the plantation Monday evening, and learning the facts, had vigorous search made in the woods in tiie direction where tiie report of tiie gun was heard. Tiie result was the finding of the body of the missing old man, hid un der a log covered witii leaves. As soon as it was known that the body had been found, the negro who had beeu absent witii tiie gun Friday evening very sud denly disappeared from the plantation. Captain Holt immediately ordered him pursued. Tiie pursuers, when four or five miles south of this place, came in sight of him. He at the same time caught sight of them, and threw down his bundle ami disappeared in the woods, and has not since been heard of. Stopped his Paper.—The following anecdote of tl** r - Swain, from the Philadelphia Press, is not without its moral in Mher latitudes than Penusylva- Ul M*ny years ago, Mr. Swain, then editor Q f tiie Public Ledger, was hailed at the corner of Eighteenth and Chesnut-streets by a very excited individual, whoiuformed him in the most emphatic terms, “J have stopped your paper, sir,” and proceeded to explain the why and wherefore, all the time gesticulating wildly. “My gracious, sir, you don’t say so. Come with me to the office, and let us see if we caunot remedy the matter. It grieves me that any one should stop my paper.” Down Chestnut-street to Third the two pro eeeded. Arriving at tiie office, Mr. Swain said: “Why, my dear sir, everything seems to be going on here as usual; I thought you had stopped my paper.” Then and there tiie excited gentleman, whom the long walk, by tiie way, had partly cooled, said tiiat iie had stopped taking his one copy of tiie Ledger. Mr. Swain was profuse in his apologies for having misunderstood tiie meaning of his late subscriber’s words, and regretted tiiat iie had given him tiie tramp from Eigh teenth street to Third, down Chestnut Tbe gentleman went on bis way home, a wiser if not a better man, marvelling at the stupidity of editors in general, and of Mr. Swain in particular. Befo e he left, however, he ordered that the Ledger be still sent to his address. Crop Prospects.— We regret to let rn that the cold weather of the past week lias very materially injured the crop prospects in this portion of the State. The cold easterly winds which have prevailed for several days, aud tbe slight frosts of Fri day and yesterday morning, have caused the cotton to die out, and on the 1 gbt sandy land* great fears are felt that the stand will be destroyed. Corn is small and does not look healthy, the cold having givtn it a yellow, stunted appearance. The stands of tiiis cron are generally good, and with a fair season we may expect a good yield. Wheat and oats have, until within a few days, looked remarkably well. The cold has affected these crops, and if the present cold snap continues many days wheat will be seriously injured. — Chron. and Sent. 9th Personal Faith.— Gen. Stephen Mc- Groarty late collector of Internal Revenue at Cincinnati, is said to have received more wounds during tiie war than any other officer in the Federal service. He came out of the war a cripple, he is a crip ple now, aud lie will be a cripple through life. He is n gentleman of unquestion able integrity, and he performed the du ties of tbe colleetorship faithfully and to the satisfaction of all concerned. Well, whilst the question of removals was uuder agitation at Washington, lie and another collector from an interior district in New York, a crippled soldier like himself asked Grant not to remove them. Grant unhes itatingly gave his square promise that he would not umove them. He removed them both in less than twenty-four hours from the momeutthe promise left his lips. f Courier-Joumal. MASONIC. MASONIC LIFE INSURANCE. In our article upon this subject, xve illustrated the pecuniary benefits of life insurance to tbe Masonic brotherhood over that of outside institutions. We now appeal to all the brethren, members of Lodges, eligible, according to the by-laws of the company, to avail themselves of its benefits ; from the young man of twenty-one, to the old man of three score years. The larger portion of the Masonic bro therhood were heavy losers, and great suf ferers in the destruction aud loss of prop erty by the late war ; and many of them are now made dependent upon their own personal labor for tbe maintenance of their families; aud, if the head and father of a family is removed by death, the wid ow, children, and often aged parents, are left to suffer and struggle through life, under trying circumstances. This may he avoided by a prudent forecast, aud a safe investment in any of tbe classes of this institution. When insurance is as sured, a family can safely live nearer to their daily income, feeling a security which measurably robs anxiety of its cor roding power; for death, disease aud af fliction, with all their attendant evils, are every day occurrences, and it is a duty to prepare to meet them wisely and pru dently. A Master Mason whose limited means may not permit him to insure his life be yond class B—l,ooo members—pays an en trance fee of six dollars ; and during this aud the succeeding year until the class is full, he may not have to pay more than from five to ten dollars annually, aud per haps much less. A like fee of six dollars enters each class, C, D, E, giving choice Very many are, aud more will enter all ' these classes, eventually securing, when they are full with class A, policies amount ing to ten thousand dollars.. The desire and wish for insurance is now wisely ar ranged to suit tbe circumstances of all the brotherhood. The responsive power of this institution has already cheered many a distressed mason’s family by its liberal provisions, and the future relief it will yet give to the widow and her orphan children, is but faintly set forth in argument. J R. The number in each class, to date, is ss follows: Class A 4,430 Class B 18 Class C 12 Class D 8 Class E 14 NOTICE TO AGENTS. Agents remitting to tiiis office will please state for which assessments the money is seut. If you remit for a name not on your list, ! please state the fact, aud do not mix it | with your list. For the Journal and Messenger. ANSWER TO “QUESTIONS FOR TIIE BRETH REN.” One of your correspondents asks : “Does a man who takes the name of God in vain, or serves otherwise, with ali his heart, the devil, ‘ trust in the Ever Living God,’ ” etc. I would answer that such an one steals the livery of saints to really serve tire devil in. All combinations of men are held to gether by laws and constitutions, wheth er such be written, verbally expressed, or even implied. But it is a well know if fact tiiat Ancient Free Masons are bound together by strong cords, even stronger than those that bound the hands of Sam son in ancient days. Their laws and con stitutions, as well as their charges, while they are written aud subjected to the world for criticism, are , also designed to enlighten the “Craft” in tiieir duties and requirements. No one can pass, the Altar of Masonry unless he makes au avowal that he puts his “trust in God.” The entered appren tice is charged to “take not tbe name of God in vain.” Masons, above all other people, should act agreeably* to tiieir pro fession. Now, were I asked what are tiie laws of Masonry? Ishould point to the Great Tres tle Board aud say, “read the Law.” The point upon which all Masons meet is a belief iu tlie “Living God,” and tiust in Him, and entire dependence upon Him. Tiiis fact being conceded, the Ma sonic Law is found engraven upon the Great Trestle Board, beginning at the first chapter of Genesis and continuing unto the recording of the first miracle by Jesus Christ. Masonic Law hero stops, and repentance is preached and demand ed, which is a teaching foreign to (but not forbidden in) Masonic requirements. The entire Masonic Law is bound up as it were iu a nut shell, and embraced in the Ten Commandments, engraven upon stone and delivered to Moses on Mt. Sinai. Eaclu bears alike upon the Mason, and each commandment requires implicit and practical obedience. One of these commandments solves the query contained abevi : “Thou slialt not take the name of tiie Lord thy God iu vain ; the Lord will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name iu vain.” Having from these deductions shown that a violation of the Ancient Divine Law is a violation of Masonic Law, it is plain that punishment awaits the guilty, for “ the Lord will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name iu vain ; ” a further deduction shows, that though meu imy uot punish, yet God punishes the guilty. I recollect mauy years ago hearing an aged Scotch minister preach. A part of his sermon was taken up with a considera tion of a few of the mauy temptations that beset mankind, aud he proceeded to ex cuse his fellow mortals as w’ell as he could, by saying—the drunkard bit at tbe bottle, tbe gambler bit at tbe pool ; that in these vices there was a show or promise of enjoyment held forth, but the sweareri poor fellow, bit at the naked hook ; that in swearing there is no reward, present or prospective. Neither was there hope of reward, either temporal or eternal, nor even a hope of being commended by the applause of his fellow-man. Therefore, “ taking of the name of God in vain,” is a direct violation of the law of God, aud an implied recantation of the Masonic compact, well understood by the fraternity; and he who enters the Sanc tum Sauctorum with cursing on his lips defiles the Masonic Sanctuary. Cool Spring, Ga., April'26th, ISC9. C. P. S. Is it possible that tbe Masons of Georgia, caunot contribute two columns of original matter to the Journal and Messenger—the single paper in the State furnishing Masonic Intelligence—but must needs copy foreigu matter to dis seminate kuowledga to the craft ? THE PRINCE OF W ALES AND FREE MASONRY Information has been forwarded to the English craft that His Royal High ness, the Prioee of Wales, before leaving Stockholm, was entered an Apprentice to Free Masonry, and, having speedily “passed” to the rank of a “Fellow Craft,” j was raised to the full degree of a Master Mason, as recognized by the Order all over the world. It is further stated that tbe newly made royal brother entered upon some of tbe fancy degrees, more practiced in tbe Continent in England, and was made a the Masonic Or<:er of Charles the Thirteenth. The present Grand Master of the Euglish Order, Lord Zetland, has held his office for a quarter of a century, aud the lodges are contribut ing to a fund for the presentation of a tes timonial to him in celebration of his long service, aud following the precedent set in the presentation of plate weighing 1,800 GEORGLA JOURNAL AND MESSENGER ounces to the late Graud Master, the Duke of Sussex, who held tbe office for twenty five years. It is thought probable that the Prince will become affiliated to the English Order, and will rite to the posi tion held by several of his princely prede cessors, it being understood that the pres ent Grand Master desires retirement. The (sisition of Grand Master, by the constitution of tiie craft, can only be held by a Prince of the Blood Royal, a member ol a noble house, or by a “man of letters.” It may beinteresting to state that William 111 was initiated in 1690; Frederick, Prince of Wales, was initiated in 1737; Henry Frederick, the Duke of Cumber land, was elected Grand Master in 1781; the Prince of Wales (George IV) was ini tiated in 1790; the Duke of York and the Duke of Ciarenee (late William IV) were initiated with tLeir brother. The Duke of Kent (Her Majesty’s father) was initia ted in 1790, and Prince William, of Glou cester, and the Duke of Cumberland (late King of Hanover) were initiated in 179-5 and 1796, and was elected Grand Master in 1813, on tbe Prince Regent resigning his office and becoming Graud Patron. The plate presented to the Duke of Sussex on his retiring from Graud Mastership was returned to the Graud Lodge as a gift by the Duchess of Iverness iu 1838. The Queen has given active patronage to sev eral Masonic charities.— London Times. Thf Macon A Augusta Railroad—An Ugly Rumor The Chronicle & Sentinel, of Saturday, says there is a rumor on the streets of that city to the ettect “that Mr. Wadley is negotiating with Judge King to prevent the completion of the road. It is said that Mr. Wadley will aid the Georgia Road in con structing the line from Athens to Kabuu Gap, pro vided the latter road will not aid or assist the fur ther prosecution of the Macon & Augusta Road, and the Central Road refrain from building tbe road from Eatonton to Madison.

[Sumter Reporter, Hth. TELEGRAPHIC NEWS. GENERAL NEWS. Washington, May 4.—General Lee, accompa nied by his daughter, arrived at Alexandria this morning, and proceeded to the residence of a kinsman. No demonstration was made, as it was understood it would displease General Lee. Creswell has appointed Jacob D. Enos, (negro,) Postmaster at Valdosta, Georgia. Joseph Helmes, a colored member of the State Constitutional Convention, was killed at Charlotte Court House yesterday. A personal difficulty occurred between him and John Marshall, son of J udge Marshall, of whose family Helmes was for merly body servant. Both parties drew pistols and commenced tiring, which was participated in by Marshall's friends. After being shot, Helmes walked into the court house and fell deed. Richmond, May 4.— Governor Wells is out in a letter saying that he lias never been satisfied that the disfranchisement clause would accomplish the object for which it was framed, and if the majority o the people vote against it ali ought to as-ent to the decision. He adds : “I believe that whichever sections of the Constitution the President prefers to have stricken out he will submit separately, and the probabilities are that the weight of his name will be such that the propositions submitted separately will be defeated.” Alexandria, May 4.—Gen.

Chicago, May 4.—Advices from the Indian country received at Sheridan's headquarters, say that everything that has been done to make peace with the Sioux thus far is an entire failure. The Indians are just us far from peace to-day as they were two years ago. Washington, May s.—Creswell has appointed James Simms, colored, Postmaster at Savannah, Georgia. The London Times, this morning, has another leading article on tiie Alabama treaty, recently re jected by the United States Senate. The writer sharply criticises tiie speech of Sumner, and con cludes as follows : “The question is one of law, and not of feeling. It remains to be shown that Great Britain can be held answerable for any in fraction of law, or of excess over the ordinary prac tice of both countries.” Governor Welles, of Virginia, obtained nothing satisfactory from yesterday’s visit to the President. The election will not be” Held until a thorough registration lias been completed, and until General Canby, who is not yet thoroughly acquainted with the political situation, shall recommend the most convenient period for the election. The President seems in no hurry respecting any of the three States involved. Dispatches from J.

They attempted to land men and arms for tiie Cubans on tiie Southern side in the Western department near a place known as River del Rio and failed. The Spanish Admiral left Ha vannain his flag ship, accompanied by several other vessels in search of this party, but no news has yet been received from him. A transport having on board political prisoners, that left a month since for Fernando Po, put, into St. Johns, Porto Rico, for repairs. The Captain General of tiiat island determined to send some to the Canaries and the remainder to Cadiz. Both Cubans and Spaniards seem exceedingly quiet, and there lias been no successes lately on either side. Nothing can be heard of any movement at present, but I shall continue to keep the department in formed of facts and rumors that may come to my knowledge by every opportunity.

Richmond, May 10 —Chief Justice Chase, this morniug, delivered an opinion on an appeal from Judge L nderwood’s decision in the District Court, declaring null the sentence of Judge Shefl'ey, of the State Court, on the ground of Shelley’s iueligibiliiy under the 14th amendment. The case was that of Caisar Griffin, negro, sentenced to the Penitentiary for shooting a man. The Chief Justice read the opiniou of the Court, holding that a State Govern ment in Virginia had been recognized all during the war by Congress, first at Wheeling and then at Alexandria. The action of that Government in dividing the State had oeen recognized by the Fed eral Government, and Senators and Representatives elected by that Government had been allowed seats in Congress. It was under this Government that Shelley had been appointed, and he was therefore a legal Judge, as far as the State Government was concerned. The question now came up whether being inelig ble, he was was absolutely removed by the" opera tions of the Fourteenth Amendment. The United States District Judge had decided that he was, but in the exauiinatfou of questions of this sort great attention is properly paid to the argument of incon venience, and a construction which must necessari ly occasion great public and private mischief, must never be preferred to a construction which will occasion neither in so great degree, unless the the terms of the instrument absolutely require such preference. The opinion here shows the anarchy which would be produced in a State by declaring past legal proceedings void. It then considers the character and intent of the Third Section of the Fourteenth Amendment which are declared to be primitive. It is clearly against the provisions of the Consti tution which deny to the legislative authority the power to deprive any person of life, liberty or property without due process of law, or to pass expost facto laws, aud these, if there were no other grounds, are reasons for seeking another interpre tation of the amendment than that asked by pris oners’ counsel. Theffourteeuth amendment is not self sustaining, and needs further legislation of Congress to en force it, and two mouths after the judgment now being revised was delivered, Congress passed a joint resolution providing for the removal of all ineligible officers, showing that persons then hold ing office were held to be defado officers, and also providing the means for their removal by the mil itary. Tbe Court said the Supreme Court had unan imously concurred in the opinion that a prisoner sentenced by a Judge defado , though not a Judge dejure, could not be reached by habeas corpus. The decision of the District Court was reversed, and Csesar Griffin removed to State authorities. In the United States Circuit Court this morning, Jeter Philips, to be hung next Friday, for wife murder, upon habeas corpus was remanded to tiie State au thorities, upon the grouud that he was sentenced before the fourteenth amendment was promul gated. Atlanta, May 10. —Yesterday John Henry Foy, Secretary of the Working Men’s Association, and late sub-clerk in the Executive Department of this State, shot his negro mistress for wishing to sep arate from him.

Ayer’s Sarsaparilla A compound remedy, designed to be the most effectual AUeratire that can be made. It is a concentrated extract of Para Sarsaparilla, so combined with other substances of still greater alterative power as to afford an effec tive antidote for the diseases Sarsaparilla is reputed to cure. It is believed that such a remedy is wanted by those who suffer from Strumous complaints, and that one which will accomplish their cure must prove of immense service to this large class of our afflicted follow citizens. How completely this compound will do it has been proven by experiment on many of the worst cases to be found of the following complaints: Scrofula and Scrofulous Complaints, Eruptions and Eruptive Diseasf.s, Ulcers, Pimples, Blotches, Tumors, Salt Rheum, Scald Head, Syphilis and Syphilitic Af fections, Mercurial Disease, Dropsy, Neu ralgia or Tic Douloureux, Deiiility, Dys pepsia and Indigestion, Erysipelas, Rose or St. Anthony’s Fire, and indeed the whole class of complaints arising from Impurity op the Blood. This compound will be found a great pro moter of health, when taken in the spring, to expel “the foul humors which fester in the blood at that season of the year. By the time ly expulsion of them many rankling disorders are nipped in the hud. Multitudes can, by the aid of this remedy, spare themselves from the endurance of foul eruptions and ulcerous sores, through which the system will strive to rid itself of corruptions ( if not assisted to do this through the natural channels of the body by nn nlterntive medicine. Cleanse out the vitiated blood whenever you find its impurities bursting through the skin in pimples, eruptions, or sores; cleanse it when you find it is ob structed and sluggish in the veins ; cleanse it whenever it is foul, and your feelings will tell you when. Even where no particular disorder is felt, people enjoy better health, and live longer, for cleansing the blood. Keep the blood healthy, and all is well; but with this fiabulum of life disordered, there can be no listing health. Sooner or later something must go wrong, and the great machinery of life is disordered or overthrown. Sarsaparilla lias, and deserves much, the reputation of accomplishing these ends.* But the world has been egregiously deceived by preparations of it, partly because the drug alone lias not all dbe virtue that is claimed for it, but more because many preparations, pretending to he concentrated extracts of it, contain hut little of the virtue of Sarsaparilla, or any thing else. p During late years the public have been mis led by large bottles, pretending to give a quart of Extract of Sarsaparilla for one dollar. Most of these have been fruuds upon the sick, for they not only contain little, if any, Sarsapa rilla, hut often no curative properties whatev er. Hence, bitter and painful disappointment has followed the use of the various extraots of Sarsaparilla which Hood the market, until the name itself is justly despised, and has become synonymous with imposition and cheat. Still we call this compound Sarsaparilla, and intend to supply such a remedy as shall rescue the name from the load of obloquy which rests upon it. And we think we have ground for believing it has virtues which are irresistible by the ordinary run of the diseases it is intend ed to cure. In order to secure their complete eradication from the system, the remedy should be judiciously taken according to directions on the bottle. prepared by DR. J. C. AVER Sc CO. m LOWELL, MASS.
