In contradistinction to these rough ashlars
we point wit!i pride and pleasure to those
who, from their first entrance into the ves
tibule of our ancient mysteries, seem to un
derstand, intuitively, tne exact value of the
institution, and to estimate correctly its un
equalled advantages in doing good to all
mankind, bnt more especially the household
of the faithful. These true arid faithful
brethren x r ie dilligentlv with each other in
their earnest desire to promote the welfare
of the craft at all times and in all places-
The Sirred Writings, that great light in
maeonrv, that serves as an unerring guide to
happiness on earth, and a joyful welcome
hereafter, is tlmir daily guide from whose
sublime principles they never allow them
selves to deviate, hence they never can ma
terially err. Step by step they pursue their
researches in the royal art, until its grand
mysteries have become as familiar as house
hold words and they learn to recognize that
masonry is indeed the most sublime of all
human institutions.
We once conversed with one that, imbued
xvitli the true spirit of Masonry, was devoted
heart and sold to its sublime teachings.
After a long discussion he remarked tons:
“Since I have liecorae u Mason I have never
entered any place in which I was not per
fectly xvill in g to be found dead!” We ad
mired the brother’s viexx-s and have thought
over them long anil earnestly. How few
there are that think of it. How very few
that recognize in this simple remark an elu
cidation of the vital principles of Masonry.
The rough ashlars! would to heaven they
could recognize the position they sustain
toward the craft, toward themselves and
toward the Grand Architect of the Universe,
It would not lie long before the “common
gavel” would be brought into requisition.
It would not he long before the thoughts of
the past would lead to renewed exertions for
the coming future.
The science of Masonry to its admirers
presents many and varied phases for future
advancement, anil may God grant that when
summoned “from labor to refreshment”
many of the craft may find their labor lias
not been bestowed in vain.

“Thorough Cultivation.”
[The following is the substance of a paper
read before the Alton Horticultural Society,
by Mr. O. L. Barler :]
If there is one fact in horticulture more
than another, that is being impressed upon
my mind, it is the necessity of thorough
cultivation of the soil-—a term often used,
but not, perhaps, with sufficient definite
ness, as xvhat one man calls thorough culture,
another does not. When tirst commencing
to stir the soil, I thought I could easily cul
tixatc a certain number-of acres with a given
amount of working force. The second vear
saxv an increase in the working capital, and
a decrease in the number of acres; and every
year since xx e have felt the necessity of hiring
more labor, without increasing the area un
der cultivation. It is estimated that, in gar
dening operations, ten men will work ten
acres as it ought to be done. This demand
is, perhaps, more than we may feel able to
meet at present; still we must come to this
if we expect the best results. To thorough
ly cultivate—that is, to thoroughly fertilize,
for that is the meaning of tho term—neces
sitates a frequent stirring of the soil, not
simply to plow when the weeds appear.
Thorough culture has a broader mission
than this of weed killing. To cultivate is to
make productive—to manure; and to this
manuring of the soil we are indebted for the
best results on the farm and in the garden.
When, and how often, then, ought we to
stir the ground ? Always after every rain,
ami as soon after as the ground will work
well. The frequency of tlie*plowing will de
pend, in part, on circumstances, on the na
ture of the soil, and the character and ad
vancement of the crop. “Once a week” '■
not enough. The idea of plowing simply to
kill weeds is ridiculous ! We seek, in the
frequent stirring of the ground, a mellow
soil, with open mouths or pores, eagerly
taking from the atmosphere an abundance
of plant food. Borne plants, the melon for
example, take more from the air than from
the soil; or rather the soil, in a proper con
dition, takes from the atmosphere much of
the food which it gives to the plant. If we
have weeds, we must, of course, light them
to the death; but it is a shame to have weeds,
and a double shamo to sit at our ease and
wait for the weeds to grow! In order to
practice thorough cultivation wo must have
straight rows, and rows both ways, and level
culture. These points are all important,
and none more so than level culture, especial
ly on liill-sides, where it has a tendency to
prevent severe washing, which is a great evil
as all know who have farms on the hill-side.
Good culture implies, on our soil, a moder
ately deep stirring of the soil, so long ns the
roots of plants are not disturbed by tho
operation; and deep culture implies horse
poxver, and this suggests the check-row sys
tem, of which xve have spoken. The one
horse ploxx-s and cultivators must be kept in
constant motion in the growing crops. There
is work, also, for the liand-hoes and various
kinds of xvei dei s, in this system of thorough
doing.
Ilun lo Plant Potatoes.
Tt is still a mooted point how to plant po
tatoes. Not long since we saw a statement
that a practical German farmer had come to
the conclusion that the largest and best crops
were raised when each hill had twelve square
feet of ground, instead of having hills nearer
together. To give to each hill this space of
ground, would require the roxx-s to be four
feet apart, and the spwe between hills iii the
row to be three feet. But before xve blindly
copy after this German cultivator, xve must
bear in maul that Germany lies in a much
higher latitude than xx-e do, out of the zone
of the maize plant, and where the rays of the
sun strike the earth very ninch aslant. In
Germany, then, the object of the cultix-ator
would be to get as much siui to his plants as
jKissililu, while with us the very opposite is
the case. Indeed, in this latitude, strewing
straw between the rows to keep the sun from
drying and heating the soil too much has
been found highly advantageous.
A writer in the May number of the North
western Farmer says that he is satisfied
“that the right way to plant potatoes is to
cut to oue eye, and only drop one piece in a
hill, nine inches apart in the roxv, and having
the rows two and a half feet apart.” This
writer says he planted one peek of early
Goodrich potatoes in 18(58, and from that
peck dug twenty bushels of splendid pota
toes. He cut some to three eyes, some to
two, and some to one; while a few he plant
ed whole. From those out to one eye he
dug the tinest and best potatoes. Those
planted whole yielded the most small pota
toes.
He gives the following advice in regard ro
seed and culture:
Never use inferior seed in planting
When the vines are three or four inches
Well, run twice in a roxv with a bull-tongue,
follow xvitli a hoe and cut out all the weeds;
never hoe a hill up, it is useless. Then give
them two more plowings with a common
shovel plow, running twice in a row; follow
each time with a hoe to cut the weeds.
After they are “laid by,” go through and
pull out the long weeds, if any, with your
hands. By so doing, you will never get less
than one hundred and fifty bushels to the
acre.
Green Cross as Fertilizers. —Flowing
under green crops for manure has Ixeeu found
very profitable with soils poor in organic
matter. The philosophy of its fertilizing
action may be thus explained: The green
plants decay and evolve carbonic acid, which
is absorbed by water, and the solution of
carbonic acid dissolves minute portions of
mineral matter, which are insoluble in water
alone and thus makes such mineral matter
capable of assimilation by plants. When
deep-rooted plants like clover are used, con
siderable proportions of plant food are
brought up from great depths, and thus add
to the richness of the surface soil. Many
plants have been used in different countries
for this pur}Rise, among which may be
named spurry, white mustards, turnips,
white lupine and rape, in addition to the
well-known use of clover, rye, buckwheat
and coxv peas.
Deep Plowing. —Mr. Fuller, who is well
known as being prominently connected with
the Little Miami Railroad, is also a farmer,
and farms on rather an extensive scale.
Early in the spring he visited one of his
farms where several plows were at work, pre
paring the soil for corn. Mr. F. was hor
rified when he saw that the ground was
GEORGIA JOURNAL AND MESSENGER
being turned up only three rrr four inches
<bep! Considerably irritated, i«- ordered
every plow to be stopped.
“Now, put two teams to a plow, and go
into the soil not leas (bin ten inches deep."
Os course it was necessary to obey. But
when Mr. Fuller’s back was turned Ins plow
men chuckled among themselves, ridiculing
him as a fancy fanner, who imagined that he
knew more than those l>oni and brought up
on a farm. They also set up a stake be
tween the common and deep plowing so that
hereafter they could show him tliat all his
extra expense in plowing deep was money
thrown away.
Os course tliat corn crop is not yet rij»\ Bat
the plowmen are greatly chagrined in look
ing at the difference between the two parts
of the field. All good judges say that there
will be twice the yield on the deeply plowed
ground over that plowed in the common way.

On motion, David M. Brown, Esq., was
called to the Chair in the place of Mr. John
T. Cooper, temporary Chairman, who was ab
sent. The report of the Committee <>i Cor
respondence was then called for, and although
they could not make a frill report by reason
of the shortness of time, yet their partial
report was most satisfactory. Gen. Warren
and Mr. C. C. Duncan made some practical
suggestions, which assisted greatly in giving
direction to the action of the meeting. That
we will have the railroad built may now be
regarded as almost a certainty, if the deter
mination with which the people take the
matter into hand is to be regarded as an in
dication.
On motion of A. 8. Giles a committee of

Lynchburg, Va., August 2, 186!).
Mr. Editor: Thinking your readers might
be interested in such things as are seen from
Chattanooga to Bristol, over xx-hich I trav
eled yesterday, I drop you a line.
On leaving Chattanooga I found the corn
crops suffering for rain, and when near
Knoxx'ille saw many fields ruined,.rich river
bottoms looking like poor piue field crops,
and in many places corn two feet high had a
withered attempt at a tassel, with not
vitality enough to silk.
The hay crop is saved and securely housed,
but there is no prospect of the second crop.
The stubble looks dry and dead, witb no
appearance of an after-matli; in fact, I think
the plant in many instances dead.
The East Tennessee and Georgia Railroad
has few accommodations. Passengers from
Atlanta took sleeping cars for Cleveland via
Chattanooga, but on arrival at Chattanooga
“the East Tennessee and Georgia Railroad
refused to take the car over the road became
there wits only ten passengers, and twelve be
ing the charmed number required to allow
it to go. So xvo were crowded txvo on a sea*,
in rickety cars, dirty and badly ventilated.
Another specimen of the thrift and busi
ness management of this delectable line, is
that no peddler boys are allowed to vend
their xvares on the train at the stations, xvhilo
the company has on board the train a young
man xvho peddles on the train for the com
pany, and on their account, at higher prices
than I find on other routes; all manner of
hucksters, second-hand novels, Hash news
papers, candy, fruit, (and poor fruit at that),
maple sugar, cakes, gingerbread, canned
fruit, tobacco, cigars, and then dinner is put
off to a later hour, until famished humanity
is compelled to buy these wares from sheer
starvation.
The trains arrive at Knoxville at a good
dinner-time, but they are towed off to Rog
ersville Junction, a place in the woods and
no competition, where the famished victims
are allowed to appease their hunger by such
feed as one having a monopoly may choose
to give them. Chatham.

effect upon the liver, arid guards the system against
diseases by exposure and irregular diet, It is con
ceded that the great success of the wonderful
PLANTATION BITTERS, which, previous to our
late unhappy difficulties, was found in most South
ern homes, was owing to the extract of Calisaya
Bark which it contained as one of the principal in
gredients. Iu continuation of this we have heard
one of our distinguished Physicians remark, that
whenever lie felt unw r elt from ordinary dietetic or
atmospheric causes, lie invariably relieved himself

mons, who was then about 60 years of r.gc, and in
vigorou* health, which he attributed to the virtues
of his medicine in rescuing him from Dyspepsia.
I have used Simmons’ Liver Medicine in my fam
iliy and my firms were agents for its sale for some
twenty years. I believe it is the most convenient,
us well as reliable article of the kind known to the
trade, for the purposes for which it Is recommend
ed. It only requires to be known to be appreciated,
and iu making its virtues known, you will be sure
to benefit the public, and I trust yourselves also.
Yours, truly,

Messrs. Junes &• Doyle **, Dawson, Ga.:

KAYTON’S OILuF LlFE—Cures all Pains and
Aches, and is the great Rheumatism Liniment.
Read there Lines and Ponder them Well.—
The best tests of the merits of any proprietary ar
ticle is to ascertain what is thought of it at home
where it is manufactured. Such a test Lippman’s
Pyrafuge can well stand, as to-day it is decidedly
the favorite remedy for eLiils and fever, dumb
ague and other diseases of a malarious origin, in
the city of Savannah, where it is prepared. The
principal druggists of the city would as much think
of doing without castor oil iu their stores as to be
without this popular (and deservedly so; remedy.
It is a vegetable preparation free from deleterious
drugs, and acts like a tonic upon the entire system,
thereby invigorating the system so much so as to
enable it to throw off disease. Pyrafuge does not
nauseate or sicken the patient, and can be taken
by the most delicate persons without fear. It
should always be at hand, as chilis and fever creep
upon us so stealthily that we are not aware of its
approueh until it is upon us. A word to the wise is
sufficient.
KAYTON’S PlLLS—Cures Bick Headache and
all Bilious disorders.
WAREHOUSE—THE IM
PRESSION may be made upon the minds of some
persons, that Messrs. Adams, Jones <V Reynolds, in
vacating their old warehouse on Poplar street,
(now leased to another purty) have retired from the
business. Such is not the Jact. They are now lo
cated in their new, commodious and fire-proof
warehouse ou Fourtli street, near the punsenger
shed, where their planting friends will find them
through the coming season, ready to receive, store
and sell cotton, aud to extend to planters every
accommodation and advantage which this market
affords. Send your cotton to Adams, Jones &
Reynolds, as heretofore, and they will guarantee
satisfaction. aag4-lm

will direct their letters to 106, Bleecker Street,
Newark, New Jersey, from now till the first of uext
October. Persons wishing any of his highly cele

the money when they send their orders, for by so

PAIMLESS DIGESTION —“No man.”
savs Sir Astley Cooper, “ought to know by his
sensations that he has a stomach.” In other words,
when digestion i* perfect there is neither pain nor
uneasiness In the region where it takes place.
Nausea, want of appetite, flatulency, oppression
after eating, shooting pa.ts in the epigastrium, a
flushing of the face at meal times, and a furred
tongue in the morning, are among the direct symp
toms of indigestion Con-t-lprtion, billionsness,
headache, nervous irritability, physical weakness
and low spirits, are its almost invariable accom
paniments. All these indications of dtspepsia,
whether immediate or secondary, are usually ag
gravated by hot weather.
Tho close of summer is, therefore, the season
when the victim of dyspepsia most urgently needs
a tonic and regulatiug medicine. Os course, every
invalid has many advisers. One friend reoom
uscud.s oue drug, another auothcr; but in a multi
tude of counsellors there is not always safety. The
standard remedy or the present aok por in
digestion, in all its stages. Is HOSTETTEK S
STOMACH BITTERS. Time, that proves all
things, Las established its reputation on an im
pr»gn*M» foundation—the spontaneous testimony
of million* sjf intelligent witnesses. No acrid oil
or acid deties its stimulating principle; its tonic
constituents ate tne finest that botanical research
has yet discovered ; it combines the properties of a
gentle cvacuant, a blood depurent, and an auti
billous medicine, wf.th invigorating qualities of
the highest order, «otd is admitted both by the
public and the profession to be the surest protec
tion against all diseases lUgl are produced or pro
pa *ated by pestiferous aii tr unwholesome water,
Unit lias ever been used citing in the United States
or Tropical America.
In eases of constipation resulting .from a want of
muscular toue iu the intestines, the effect of the
BITTERS is perfectly marvelous ; and without the
dangerous sequences of mercury, it rea&qrcs the
disordered liver 60 a normal condition.
