>Vho Received the Reward ’
Macon, Ga., October fi, 1869.
To the Editor of the Journal and Metaenger:
Sip. —The following was presented to om
of the proprietors of the Macon Daily Tele
(fraph for insertion, who politely declined to
touch it, fearful of incurring the displeasuri
of someone. It will be recollected that Gov
eipor Bullock offered a reward of five hun
dred dollars for the arrest of one Alfred Hoy,
who was charged with the crime of murder,
in Bibb county. There were some ineffec
tual attempts made by a few of the City Po
lice to arrest Hoy, incurring expenses for
liorse-hire to the amount of thirty-seven
dollars, which was promptly paid by the
Ordinary of Bibb county. It will be seen
by appended documents, which were ex
hibited to his Excellency before the reward
was paid, that the Sheriff of Bibb county
made, the arrest, without the aid or assist
ance of any one.
Hoy’s counsel at the trial assorted that
Hoy was on his way to Macon to give him
self up to the civil authorities, when lie was
arrested by the Sheriff of Bibb county. The
Sheriff dicl not receive the reward. Hoy did
not receive the reward. The counsel for the
accused did not receive the reward. Who
received it ? Was the reward paid to par
ticular friends, or lias the Executive of the
State of Georgia been imposed upon in this
transaction ?
The following documents are original, and
under the seal of the Superior Court of the
Macon circuit, all of which were exhibited •
to his Excellency before the fire hundred dol
lars reward tras paid. Bibb.

The Senate and Ex-I’residcnt
.Jolt n son.
Mr. Forney’s Philadelphia Press contains
the following candid and refreshing an
nouncement in reference to what the Senate
of the United States will do in case Ex
President Johnson is elected Senator from
Tennessee :
At Andrew Johnson will probably receive bis
rredantlulaa I . -S. k-nator, Sir-sin. Stokes, Brown
low, Maynard and Etherid:: freely declare that
tlie Ben h i will refuse to admit Mr .Johnson, under
asp cl lie couhtrurlion of the ciauao of the Consti
tution which declares that body to be the exclu
sive judg” ~f tl,c qnalifii .itions of those elected to
it. The disqualification la none other than “dis
loyalty,'’and the allegation w ill be substantiated
sufficiently fur the immediate, purpose, by tlia evi
dence brought o.it on the Irial for impeachment.
It would not. surprise anybody who rc
memlx r.s the incidents of the impeachment
trial, if the prediction of Stokes, Maynard,
Brownlow and Etheridge, were fulfilled.
The only thing that will prevent it is the
egregious folly of such an act, and the cer
tainty that Andrew Johnson, excluded from
his seat for such a cause, would damage the
Radical party more than a thousand Andrew
Johnsons allowed to take their seats with
out a question The Senate which refused
to admit Mr. Thomas, of Maryland, because
he gave lii.i ti, who was in the army of
Northern Virginia, SIOO to buy clothing and
food when lie needed them, is fully capable
of excluding Mr. Johnson for “disloyalty.”
To exclude him on charges of which he was
acquitted by themselves, and thus try him
twice on the same indictment, would be
worthy of the “High Court,” and elevate
them to a higher pinnacle of infamy than
they have ever attained even in the estima
tion of those who admire them least.

CONFEDERATE LOSSES IH’RINO THE CIVIL WAR,
1861-5 CORRESPONDENCE BETWEEN THE
SECRETARY, DK. JOSETH JONES, AND GEN. y.
COOPER. FORMERLY ADJUTANT GENERAL OF
THE ARMIES OF THE CONFEDERATE STATES.
Fr ,m the New Orleans Picayune. 28tli.
New Orleans. August 2, 1869. j
Hen. S. Cooper, Alrrondria, la.:
Dear Sib: —You will please excuse the lib- |
Tty which I take in trespassing ui>ou your ,
valuable time.
I have recently been preparing for the
Southern Historical Society, a paper upon
the losses of the Confederate army, from
battle, wounds, and disease, during the civil
war 1861-5. The following general results
>f my investigation are most resjiectfully
submitted to you for examination and crit
icism:
KILLED, WOUNDED AND PRISONERS OF Till*. CON
FEDERATE ARMY DURING THE WAR, 18(51-5.
Killed. Wounded. Prisoners.
1861 1,315 4,054 h»,773

18(53 11,8711 51,313 71,211
1864-5 32,000 70,000 80,000
Total 53,773 194,016 -»2,288
If the deaths from disease be added, the
sum total will represent the entire loss.
The retnms of the field and general hos
pitals tire known for 1861 and 1862.
Confederates killed In battle, ’Ol-2. 19,897
Deaths caused by wounds in field hospitals -. 1,023
Deaths caused by wounds in general do ' 2,018
Deaths caused by disease in Held hospitals.. 14,597
Deaths caused by disease in general do 10,741
Total deaths in C. 8. A., 1861-02 55,476
Total wounded in C. 8. A., lsdl-2 73,713
“ prisoners “ 1801-2 51,072
“ discharged “ 1851-2 10,910
Total wounded, prisoners and discharged in
1801-2 140,725
If it be fair to assume that the total mor
tality of 1863-4 was fullv equal ty
iNoJ, men me tpi-ui ui an is in me Confeder
ate Army 18t»l-5 was at least 160.000, exclu
sive of the deaths iu Northern prisons,
which would swell the number to n- r 185,-
000; and if the deaths amongst the dis
charged for wounds and diseases, and
amongst the sick and wounded on furlough,
be added, the grand total of deaths in the
Confederate Army during the entire war,
did not full far short of 200.000.
According to this calculation the deaths
from disease were about three times as nu
merous as those resulting from the c isualties
of battle.
The available Confederate force capable of
active service in the field did not. during
the entire war, exceed six hundred thousand
(600,000) men. Os this number not more
than four hundred thousand (400,OuO) were
enrolled at any one time; and the Confeder
ate States never hail in the field more than
two hundred thousand (200,000) men capable
of bearing arms, at any one time, exclusive
of sick, wounded and disabled.
If the preceding calculation be correct, we
have the following figures illustrating the
losses of the Confederate armies during the
war:
Confederate forces aetivclv engaged, 18151-5, 600,000
Total death* In C. 8. A.. 200,000
bosses of C. 8. A. in prisoners, 18151-5,
which may be considered as total losses,
on account of the policy of non-exchange
by the l T nited Slates 200,000
bosses of C. 8. A. by discharges, disability
mid desertion 100,000
If this calculation, which is given only as
mi approximation, be correct, one-third of
all the men actively engaged on the Confed
erate side were either killed outright upon
the Held or died of disease and wounds;
another third of the entire nuniher were
captured and held for an indefinite period
iu Northern prisons; and of the remaining
41X1,000, at least one-half were lost to tin
service by discharges aud desertion.
At the close of tlie war the available force
of the Confederate States numbered scarcely
100,000 effective men.
The resolution, unsurpassed bravery and
skill with which the Confederate leaders con
ducted this contest, is shown by t-lie fact that
out of 000,000 men iu the field about 500,000
were lost to the service.
At the close of the war the 100,000 Con
federates were opposed to one million
(1,000,000) Federal troops.
Your approval or disapproval of this cal
culation is most respectfully solicited.
The distinguished ability with which you
discharged the responsible and arduous du
ties of Adjutant General of the Confederate
army (nullifies you, above every other officer
of the late Confederate States, to decide how
far such calculations may approach to ac
curacy.
With great respect and the highest esteem,
I have tlie honor to be, your obedient ser

Near Alexandria, Virginia, I
August 29, 18ti9. j
Joseph Jones, Secretary anil Treasurer iif
the Southern Ilistorical Society, Ne.tr Orleans,
hmisiana :
Dear Sir — I have had the honor to re
ceive your kind und interesting letter of the
2d inst., and beg you will accept my best
thanks for the same.
I have closely examined your several state
ments in respect to the Confederate military
forces during the late war, as well ms the
casualties incident thereto, and I have come to
the conclusion, from my general recollection,
w hich those statements have served to en
lighten, that they must be regarded as near
ly critically correct.
Most of the returns from which you most
probably have derived your information,
must have passed through the tiles of my
office in the Confederacy, and if reference
could be made to all the records of that
office, they would, I have no doubt, enable
von to give nearly a complete history of the
strength and operations of our armies in
detail. The files of that office which could
best afford this information, were carefully
boxed up, and taken on our retreat from
Richmond to Charlotte, N. C., where they
were unfortunately finally captured, and, as
I learn, are now in Washington, where they |
are properly arranged iua separate building,
with other records appertaining to the Con
federaev. 1 presume that by proper man-j
agement, reference might be hail to thorn.
Indeed, I had at one time contemplat 'd to
make an effort to renew my acquaintance
with the records by a personal application
to the authorities in Washington, but 1
finally abandoned the idea.
It would afford me much pleasnrse to fur
nish you with the information in the tabular
form you have suggested, but it would be
quite'impossible for me to do this without
reference to those records. I can only state
from general recollection that during the
two last years of the war, the monthly re
turns of our armies received at my office ex
hibited the present active force in the field
nearly ouo-lialf leas than the returns them
selves actually called tor. on account of ab
sentees by sickness, extra duty, furloughs,
desertions, and other casualties incident to a
campaign life. These returns were kept
with great secresv, in order to prevent the
enemy from becoming aoequainted with our
weakness. Another disadvantage was also
felt m the limited number of our suitable
weapons of war, and 1 believe it will be
found, cm examination, that the most ap
proved and tried arms in the hands of our
troops were captured from the enemy in
battle.
These, and many other incidents of a like
nature, if brought to light, would exhibit
the greatest disparity between two opposing
forces. If not alike ill the mmilx'i of troops,
us you have exhibited in your tables, at least
of sufficient importance to satisfy every un
pv ‘judiced mind that we were constantly la
boring. throughout the contest, under every
possible disadvantage.
T perceive by the printed prospectus of
tlie Southern Historical Society, which you
were so kind a* to send me, that time must
be given in collecting the necessary facts
which are to be the basis of this important
work, before it shall be prepared and given
to the public. To this end, it will be my
endeavor to contribute, from time to time,
such facts ns I may lie enabled to collect,
and as may be deemed of consequence by
the Society.
With great respect, I have the honor to
be, your obedient servant,
| ' S. Cooper.

REMARKABLE HISTORY!
TV THF YE\RIS64 MR D W RAMSDELL. OF \ ERMOV !, DISiOtFRED A SINGLE GRAIN
* of an o„, A „aeka 'e of peas that had been sent from the Agricultural Department at Washington.
Struck with its law and plump appealnnce he was induced to plant it in his garden. The matter had)
almost pisled from His .nernoJy, until his attention was called to a wonderful clump of stalks which >
were puttin-' forth their foleage so luxuriantly as to attract unn-u-tl curiosity. It was carefully protected
and proved bv iU thrifty growth and great productiveness that it was anew and remarUabte species of
tliis cereal Tlie next vear further experiments were made by himself and others, with the -.00 grains
t,rod need the first vear' when it developed still more astonishing powers of growth and productiveness,
and t'hehi'storvof'the “Agricultnral Wonder,” as it was then called, began to till the columns of the
newspapers tVom this ix.int its snoecdß has continued until it lias overcome the current sensation of
the Agricultural Word What is still more rcmarkalde, is the fact that its origin is wrapped in unfatii
omatde mvsterv From its association with the peas, which was called Norway Peas, the new oat was
mined the Norwav (tat Later developments, how ever, show that no such variety is known in that coun
trv nor in am part of Europe, Last season they were tested in every State and Territory of the l nited
States and maav packages were sent to Europe, and reports from all sections stamp it as the most mi
litant improvement known In the history of Agriculture
The Norway Oat will crow a profitable crop oil soil where other kinds will not grow, while oil any
land it will produce fron’ two to three times us many as any other known oat, of much heavier and better
(nudity. In some respects its greatest success has been iu the South. We append a few letters from
well-known Agriculturalists which will prove interesting:
ONE HUNDRED RER CENT. BETTER.
Knoxville, Tens., August 13, 1869.
Gentlemen ■ I have no hesitancy In saving that, after a careful examination of the Norway Oats, made
whil't "rowing in the field, and since harvested, I am satisfied that their introduction w ill be attended
with ("reat benefit to our fanners. The increase in tlie yield i- fully 100 percent, over the other varieties,
and the quality is also better. The great strength of the straw preventing, to a great extent, lodging,
especially adapts these oats to this latitude where severe wind storms are not unusual during harvest

OVER ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY BUSHELS FROM AN
ACRE.
Tl»e following two letters are from one of the moat prominent and widely known planters in the South
web*‘ Chattanooga, Texu., July 31, 1869.
D. W RtumdeU: , ~ , . . . , ,
Dear Bir—About tlie first of February last I ordered from your agents in New \ ork five bushels ot
your Norway Oats. I received them about the first of February, aud sowed them immediately on five
acres of Tennessee River land, and cut them about the fifteenth of July. I think when thrashed I shall
have about one hundred aud forty bushels to the acre. The average height of the oats was over five feut
6ix inches. The. heads will average from eighteen to twentv-two inches in length, with from five to six
hundred to tbo head. The represent at ions in your circular of hist year fall far below my crop of
tills year, in fact, they surpass anything on this Continent, and arc well adapted to this climate aud soil.
I am satisfied they are an improvement of vast importance to the country.
Very respectfully, etc., JXO. L. DIVINE.
SECOND LETTER.
Chattanooga, Tenn., August 8, 1860.
D. Ti'. Rnmxdell:
Deak Bir—Since my last I have thrashed my crop, they have turned out something more than owe hun
dred and fifty busltelt of oats to the acre. 1 tried a dozen aheafs taken as they come from the stack; the
yield was four busheh and one pint to the dozen or orer one-fourth bushel* to the sheaf Owing to the hard
weather one-third of my oats froze out. We have hid the longest and most disastrous drought we ever
had in this country, having no rain, scarcely, since May first. If we had hud an ordinary season I would
undoubtedly made tioo humped bushels per orre. If I live, next season. 1 will give your oats a fair ted. I
do not write this lor advei Using or publication as I have none for sale; what 1 spare will be gratuitions,
to mv fiends. I believe 1 can excel anything of the oat kind In the world with this seed next year.
Respectfully, yours, JNO. L. DIVINE.
PERFECTLY SATISFIED.
M. Ferguson, C’ratus Creek, N. 0.. writes. August 12, 1809:
The season here has been most unfavorable for oats, and I put them ou poor ground I have not
thrashed them yet, but it is sufficient to say lain perfectly satisfied with the Norway Oats. I find there
is from three to four times as many kernels ou tlie heads of Norway* as there are on the other varieties
ffe generally sow in tlie fall season. Will it do to sow the»e in the fall ?
Note—We never have known of their being sown iu the fall, but we can see uo reason why they will
not do well aud even better in some sections.
ADAPTED TO THE SOUTH.
S. H. Harris, Knoxville, Tenn., writes, August 2, 1869 :
I have just harvested seventeen acres of your Norway Oats and have them now in barn. I have been
a farmer for thirty-five years, during which time I have tested a great many nineties of oats, ami 1 can
truly say that I have never seen any out in tlie South that will compete with yours ill productiveness and
stout heavy growth. I consider them peculiarly adapted to the soil of the’South. lam satisfied that
they will yield at leist double tiiat of any other variety known to us, on tlie same soil and with the
same culture.
A PROMINENT MISSISSIPPI PLANTER ENDORSES THEM.
Captain H. A. Rice, widely known in the South, says :
1 sowed one bushel of Norway Oats on about three fourths of an acre. They came up ami grew finely
In fact, the prospect for seventy-five bushels from the sowing was very flattering, until they began to
head out, when the rats made an attack upon them, and despite all my attempts to route them they des
troyed nil except n stripe of about two feet around the edge of the patch, which I harvested, making
only a little ovi r four bushels. I have several heads over eighteen inches in length with stalks over five
feet high. lam satisfied that the heads would average over twelve inches. The stalks were nearly as
large as my little finger, and very succulent, which I think was one cause of the ruts oeingso destructive.
Notwithstanding my misfortune I am fully convinced that the Norway Oats arc as good ns they are rep
sented to be by Mr. Rumsdcll. I saw no sign of rust. I shall endeavor to select a more suitable place
to sow them next year, and not sow them so thick. I noticed a few grains that were not so much
crowded, and I counted as high as fifty-four stalks from a single grain.
Macon, Miss., August 16, 1869.
Louisan a, Mo., August 7, 1969.
Tin* season with us has been too wet for oats. The Nor ways have been a success. The heavy rains
heat down the common oats so they had to be mowed, while the Norway-stood erect, not asinglc straw
having fallen or lodged. 1 am too well pleased with them to sell a kernel, even at ten dollars a bushel,
which I could readily do. 1 shall sow' all I have another year. One of my neighbors sow ed seven grains
on verv rich land and harvested one quart.
ARTHUR A. BLUMF.R.
NO HUMBUG ABOUT THEM.
Henry Pulenian, Esq., Galesvillc, N. Y., writes, August 16, 18 59: The Norway Oats I had of you
no humbug, on the contrary, are all you recommended them to be lasi year. 1 sowed on clay loam soil,
and can beat all my neighbors about here for oats of any kind. No farmer can afford to raise* any other
kind if he can got these even at ten dollars per bushel.
CARD FROM PROFESSOR FRANCIS M. GRACE.
East Tens. University, August 6, 18(59
I take pleasure in certifying that I witnessed on lust Tuesday the operation or tbrimliinjr tlie crop of
Ramsdell Norway Outs, produced on one acre of tlie farm adjacent to tlie University, and known as the
Agricultural College Farm, and that the yield far exceeded anything which I have ever known in the
history of Southern agriculture. The land was good njilund and lias not been manured, that iam aware
of. for a number of vears. I consider flic seed of the Norw ay Oats as by far the best 1 have, ever known

WAKED UP TOO LATE.
Jno. Lindsay, Patterson, Pa., August 12, 1869, says :
I sowed the bushel of Norway Oats I had of you on one acre of sandy soil, they ripened as soon a-, my
common oats, yielding eighty bushels per acre. I only regret I did not buy more seed from you. They
are the wonder of all wliosavv them, stalks like rake teeth, and I found three, thousand grains from one seed
They have created a great excitement in this section. My seed is all spoken for, and much more will be
w anted in this section. Farmers now' say they are no humbug, and are sorry they did not buy last year.
They have “waked up too late,” that’s wluit the matter.”
Knoxville, August 26, 1960.
Messrs. Hough <f* Church:
Gentlemes —I certify that I have cultivated for other parties thirty-one acres of the Ramsdell Norway
Oats the present season, on ray farm near Concord station in this county. I gave them the name culti
vation and the same soil that I gave my black oats. The result lias been* that the Ramsdell Norway Oats
yielded more than double the blackouts. The stalks are very large aud strong, the heads yield more
than double tlie number of kernels of the ordinary varieties. lam of the opinion that these Oats are
well adapted to the soil and climate of the South generally, and that no farmer should fail to raise them,
and on their richest bottom land if they choose, as the stalk is sufficiently strong to prevent lodging. 1
hope tb# farmers in this section will not fail to secure at an early day, at least a sufficient amount of seed
to produce seed for sowing their crop of 1871. I shall cultivate no other variety of oats on my firm.

D. W. Uamsdell <fc Cos:
Dbak Sirs:— In reference to those Norway Oats, we prepared one acre to suit-ourselves in a field of
sixty acres of different kinds of oata, and we have cut of eight thousand pounds of Norway Oats and
straw. It is now stacked up and we can’t tell what the yield will be until thrashed. We enclose a piece
of tlie butt or lower end of one of the stalks. They grew six feet high on an average, with broad leaves
• resembling corn blades and heads about one foot long. Wc had an excellent season for oats and tin
crops, but the Norway* were much the best. We propose to show what we do to all our farmers who
wish to see, and then* let them think and act for themselves The mv tt/ to Heaven is open to all the world .
but very few take the trouble to steer by that compass, and it is so with fanners.
We have at this time a splendid crop of cotton; our neighbors have very poor indifferent ones, but
if it suits them, being none of our business, we shall try not to lose much sleep over it.

FORTY-FIVE BUSHELS FROM ONE-HALF BUSHEL OF SEED.
Newburgh, Md., July 29, 1869.
Gentlemen : I purchased half a bushel of your Norway Oats from Jones A Clark, New York. They
were injured by the drought to a considerable extent, but I find on measuring that l have a yield of
forty-live bushels from the half bushel of seed. They ripen about the same time as the common oat and
are much heavier. Very respectfully yours,
P. A. L. CONTEK.
FROM COLONEL JAMES M. TOOLE,
Well known throughout the Sout-liwest.
Knoxville, East Tenn., August 2,1869.
Mr. 1). W. Ramsdell:
Sir: Having for the past thirty years of my life watched with interest the growth and prosperity of
the country in the development of new inventions, new appliances, and consequently increasing sources
of supply, I could not but desire an opportunity to test the merits of the Gray Norway Oats, originated
and introduced by your perseverance anil now practically illustrated by wondering thousands, and which
must soon add millions yearly to the value of this important product; all the result of placing one grain
in a rich and secluded spot iu your garden on the 2d of May, 1864. Truly wc live in a great country and
in no common age. I procured several bushels of this seed last year, and gave them out to gentlemen
to sow for me with a view of testing them in our soil and climate, aud while growing and harvesting,
they have been the wonder and admiration of all who have seen them. They were sown 15t!i to 20th of
March, and the yield is three times greater than that of other oats in the same land. Parties who have
not hesitated to pronounce them a humbug are now willing to accord to them all you claim. They over
: come a difficulty in tlie production of small grains in this country on o;; v rich lands, being capable of the
highest culture on deepest soil, hy their great devcloment of strength in stinks to summit a cone?pond
ing length and weight of heads. Many new aud good varieties have been introduce (1 into the South but
have not the strength of stock to support them and lodge or foil before the grain rnatiin a. Jn saying to
you that I believe that the Ramsdell Norway Gray Oats is to work still more astonishing results, und
occupy a proud and envious place in the prosperity of our extended country, I say no more than what I
. believe the future will attest. I wish to sow two or three hundred acres of them next year.
Respectfully, yours, JAMES M. TOOLE.
THANKS IN THE NAME OF THE FARMERS OF EAST TEN
NESSEE.
I). W. Jlarnttdcll :
Dkak Sjr—l desire to give you a brief account of the success of the Norway Oats in this section
First, however, allow me to thank you most heartily, in the name of the farmers of Fast Tennessee, a
few of whom have become practically acquainted with your Oats this season through the agency of Dr.
J. P. Groves, Ralph Church, Esq., and myself, for your perseverance in propagating and developing
' their wonderful merits. I became interested with l3r. Greves last spring in Wi<* introduction of forty
five bushels in the vicinity of Knoxville. I confess I had some misgivings as to their success South,
notwithstanding their superior qualities over all other varieties seemed to be thoroughly established in .
, the North, for I had observed some doubts expressed by members of the New York Farmers* Club as to
their being grown successfully in the South. In order, however to make a full and fair test Os what
they would do in our climate and soil, we concluded to scatter them among a number of planters in
different localities and on different kinds of land.-, lienee lam enabled to speak of their success on a
variety of soil?, having furnished seed to twelve planters In this and adjoining counties. The various
crops having now been harvested, and having seen a large portion of them since and before the harvest
ing, I am prepared to say Unit the Norway Oats have proved an eminent success, altogether exceeding
my expectations, and that, in mv opinion, they possess all the merits you claim for them, and that they
are admirably adapted to the soil and climate of this section.
Most respectfully yonrs, CH ARLES RICE.

A VOICE FROM KENTUCKY.
Hexkvviixe, Kt., August 11, '69.
I sowed broadcast on sandy soil, red clay sub-soil. Ido not think more than one-half of the seed
came up, and one-half of these froze out in the successive hard freezes about the last of February.
Those that survived had a luxuriant growth. There was more stalks from one seed than I ever saw w iili
any other kind, and, what was most surprising, all came to maturity. The stalks are large at the
ground and gradually taper up to the head, which is verv heavy. All things considered, 1 think the
vield will be enormously large. Respectfully yours,
J. C. SNEED.
Those who put in this Seed the coming season will reap a rich harvest, in the sale of their crops for
seeding purposes, ft will bring a high price for some years to come, llie supply is limited, and those
wishing Seed should order at once. There is not enough Seed to give every farmer in this country
alone a tabtespoonfnl. Beware of bogus seed There is no such thing as White Norway Oats, and
Black New Bruu.wick Oats have been extensively sold for our seed.
