The tele-grama yesterday announce-1
that the railroad companiea had brought
i<att in the Unite*! States Circuit Court
again**, the strikers for obstructing the
peration of the roads, laying damage*
at a million and a half. Also that an
attempt to send out freight trains Friday
morning had been prevented by force,
and the companies would try again on
Saturday. The United States District
Court is now in session in Knoxville.
The Daily Press and Herald of Friday
morning chronicles the complete failure
of Congressman Thornburgh and all the
other pacificators to fe ttle the troubles.
It also reports, on apparently reliable
authority, the receipt by the strikers of &
large amount of money from the Central
Organisation of wuat is known as “the
Brotherhood of Engineers,** for the pur
pose of enabling the striking members in
Knoxville “to maintain a firm attitude in
the present straggle against a reduction
of wagoa.**
The action of the Chattanooga Con
vention is reported by the Press and
Herald, as follows:
At the convention held in Chattanooga,
on Tuesday last, the following roads were
represented: Western ana Atlantic;
Louisville and Nashville, and Great
Southern; South and North Alabama;
Central Railroad of Georgia; Mobile and
Montgomery ; New Orleans, Mobile and
Texas; Memphis and Charleston; Geor
gia ; Nashville, Chattanooga and St. I
Louis; Atlanta and West Point; St.
Lonisand Southeastern; Piedmont Air
Line; Western Railroad of Alabama;
Port Royal; Mobile and Ohio; Alabama
and Chattanooga; Selma, Rome and Dal
ton. Major R. C. Jackson, of the East
Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia railroad,
arrived too late to participate in tho ac
tion of the convention.
Tho following resolutions were unani-
ouriy passed:
Whereas in the present financial crash
the business usually done by railroads is
so greatly diminished as to make it neces-
*ary that we reduce expenses, therefore,
Resolved, That we will make such rea
sonable reduction of expenses as is made
in every other branch of business, and
that each company make such reductions
os its own necessities require and suen as
can he made in justice to all employed.
While wo regret the necessity which com
pels us to rodooe tho wages of officers and
employes, we find this compensation to
those affected by oar action, That provi-
« mw and almost all the necessities of life
are being reduced in full proportion to
the reduction we propose to make, so that
tho wages of such officers and employes.
At tho reduced rate, will purchase as much
of the necessities of life as could have
been obtained before the crisis for the
wages then received by them.
Resolved, That while we recognize the
right of any employee ot a railroad com
pany to refuse to work for the wages
offered, or to leave the service of the com
pany if he is not satisfied with its rules
or the discipline enforced, we condemn
in the strongest terms as unjustifiable
and indefensible, all combinations for the
purpose of resisting the rightful author
ity and discipline of any company by in
terfering with or attempting to intimi
date or injure others willing to work for
tho wages offered, or to submit to the dis
cipline and rules of the company. And
we pledgo ourselves to each other that we
will in no case employ anyone who has
been discharged on account of insubordi
nation to authority, or combination to
atop the operations of any road, by in
timidation or interference with others
willing to work, and to submit to rules
and discipline. And we will by printed
circular promptly inform each other of
all snch insubordinate combinations with
tho names of those engnged.
Resolved further. That we invite all
railroad companies in the United States
to co-operate with us in carrying out these
resolutions, and in suppressing insubor
dinate combinations who attempt to ac
complish their ends by violence and
other unlawful means.
E. W. Cole, President.
John B. Peck, Secretary.
The resolutions were transmitted to
this paper by telegraph and printed some
days ago, bnt mangled either in the
transmission or in the printing.
The same paper reports a very mins-
tory condition of affairs about the coal
mines, as follows:
Disorders Among Miners.—Wo learn
that there are boisterous disturbances
and strikes among some of the miners at
Cool Creek and Careyville. The men
have been restive for some time past,
and their interference with the manage
ment in regard to tho employment of
men obnoxious to them, had tho effect of
suspending operations entirely at the
Black Diamond and the MsEwsa min**s
at Coal Creek. On Tuesday night, both
at Cool Creek and at Careyviile, there
were disturbances caused by the pres
ence of a negro on the train on the K.
and O. rood, whom the miners seemed to
think was in some way to be set to work
in the mines, and they vented their dis
satisfaction in uproarious threats, but
committed no physical violence.
A much more important incident, how
ever, occurred on the lino of the K. and
O. road the same night, between Carey
viile and Coal creek. The t nun, under
charge of Mr. Kinxell, acting as engineer,
was running along at its usual speed
when tho alert vision of Mr. Kinzoll
espied an obstruction oh the track, and
the train was fortunately stopped in time
to prevent disaster. Examination showed
the obstruction to be timbers and rail
road ties placed across tho track, evi
dently with tho purpose to wreck the
train.* Nothing is known of the author
or authors of this malignant and fiendish
act.
Knoxville, according to the Press and
Herald, was fu*t getting out of many of
the necessaries of life. The supply of
leather, candles and lager beer was very
inadequate. In effect, the strikers had
the town unter blockade.
trxnan
saved, and the doors, lights *nJ L»Ln is
belonging to the house were likewise
saved. We learn that Messrs. P. Happ
X Son hare an insurance on the building
for $2,000.
The •axne paper learns that six con
victs—tire negroes and one white man—
broke juil in Hancock county last Friday
night. They were all to be carried to
Grant A Alexander the next da.
The State Fair.—Th** general voice
pronounces the fair which has just close-1
;n daoon the finest exhibition ever held
in the State Tae display of articles in
every department was large and com
plete, the buildings handsome and com
modioos, the grounds beautiful, the
crowd large. Macon has shown that she
is the only city in the State equal to such
an occasion, and it is but fair that
should receive the reward which her en
ergy, her enterprise and her liberality so
richly deserve. We hope that the State
Fair will be permanently located in
Macon.
Nearly two thousand acres of land
were sold at the Hall county monthly
nales last Tuesday at an average of $2.96
]**r acre
The Rome Commercial learns that a
large quantity of cotton is being daily
shipped to Savannah over the Rome rail
road.
We dip as follows from the Chronide
and Sentinel, o! Friday.
Death or a Monarch op the Air.—A
colored man living about twelve miles
from this city, shot and killed a large
eagle last Tuesday. The royal bird ■
sitting on the top of a dead pine tree
when fir.it discovered by the negro. It
measured seven foet from rip to rip of ita
wings, and was one of the largest that
baa ever been seen in this section.
The Sweet Potato Crop.—The sweet
potato ci op of this section has turned out
remarkably well, and we understand that
the vield has been very large. The prin
cipal variety produced this season seems
to be the '‘pumpkins,’* or yellow yarn.
Some of them are of enormous sire.
They are selling at seventy-five cents
per bushel, at present, and will real
ise large profits to the producer. One
gentleman, about three miles from the
city, made fifty-nine bushels of splendid
potatoes on a little over a quarter of an
acre of ground. The production of this
valuable vegetable is increasing largely
in this vicinity.
At tho mooting of the Georgia Rail
road directors on Friday, Mr. James W.
Davies, of Augusta, was elected Presi
dent, pro tern,, of the company, in conse
quence ot Judge King's feeble health and
physical inability to discharge the duties
of his offioe.
The Star says trade in Griffin the past
week was very good. Large cash sales
have been made and a great many col
lections, also. Oar merchants are bopd-
ful, and the general aspect is cheerfuL
Cotton is selling at 12} cents; receipts
light this week, and few Kiles. There is
more cotton stored here than we have
ever known before at this season of the
year. About one quarter of all that has
been brought in is still in the ware
houses.
The Albany News reports the death of
Mr. Daniel S. Lee, at his home in Terrell
county—a gentleman long and favorably
known in that section. Also of Mr. J. K.
Clued, in Dougherty county, a nativo of
Maine but resident in that county since
the war. He was much respected by his
neighbors.
Th* Synod op Georgia. - The Newnan
Herald says “this body of Christian min
isters and elders met in the Presbyterian
Church, in this city, Wednesday evening,
and adjourned Saturday erening to meet
m Savannah next year. The usual church
business was transacted. On Sabbath
morning the pulpits of the various
churches were filled by delegates; that of
the Presbyterian Church by Dr. Howe;
of tho Baptist Church by Rev. Mr. Qnigg;
of the Methodist Church by the Rev. Mr.
Axon. Our citizens were pleased at the
coming and stay of our visitors, and our
guests expressed themselves delighted
with the hospitality of the citizens of
Newnan.’*
The Columbus San says the North and
South railroad has paid the interest on
first bonds and is happy. Also, that or
ders from Northern spinners for eight
hundred bales of cotton were withdrawn
from that market on Wednesday.
Wi quote the following-from the Sun:
Being Generally Signed. A peti
tion to Governor Smith to commute the
sentence of Mr. Milton Malone is being
generally signed. Hundreds had append
ed their names to last afternoon.
A Grocer's Experience.—A gro^eiy
man with a capital of $25,000 has run his
machine for tho past eight years with
the following result: Hopelessly lost in
bod debts $10,000; now on his books
$25,000, of which ho calculates to lose
fully one-half; in store $12,000; half
capital stock in store, the other on books;
profits he can’t see. This a sad showing
for eight years of hard work, but we fear
it represents the condition of many mer
chants of this section.
Death op an Old Settler.—Mr. Lewis
C. All-m, aged SO, while going up the oel-
Lir stairs of his residence at Stratford,
Conn., on Tuesday evening, October 28,
with a hod of coal, was suddenly taken,
as is supposed, with a paralytic stroke,
and fell to the bottom of the flight. He
struck heavily on his forehead, but no ex
ternal wound wa3 manifested. He lin
gered through the following day and died
Wednesday night at 11 o’clock. Mr.
Allen was among tho first settlers of Co-
Iambus, came here from Clinton, Jones
county in 1S29 or 1830, with Mr. Jones
Kivlin and others, and was a prominent
merchant here for many years. He was
in tho City Council for several terms, ami
his name figure** prominently in the early
history of this city,and is well and favor
ably remembered by old citizens. He
removed back to the North in 1845 or
1S46, but has frequently been here on
visits since; his last visit being about
two years ago.
Mb. Angus Morrison, a well known
and much liked citizen of Brooks county,
was found dead in Little River Saturday
of last week. He was on his way home
from Valdosta under the influence ot
whisky, and it is supposed fell off his
horse over a high bluff into the river.
The United States Circuit Court met
at Savannah on Thursday, and adjourned
until the 17th inst.
Savannah Cotton Shipments.—The
Advertiser says the •‘probabilities are
that the amount of tonage entering our
harbor this season will be largely in ex
cess of that of previous years. At pres
ent there are loading three British and
one Spanish steamship of about fourteen
thousand bales capacity. For Havre
there are loading three ships and two
barks, of 4,240 teas capacity. Allowing

Thomas ville Fair..
Telegraph acd M esseacer.]
Thomasville, November 6, 1873.
The rain continues and the wind i
creases, but still the people come, and
new entries have been made all day.
The crowd is somewhat greater than that
of yesterday, but not large enough yet to
be a paying institution. Several new arti
cles have come in, among which is the
sugar mill from Ballyertine i Co.’s foun
dry, of Savannah, and ad o a machine
for the distribution of the caterpillar des
troyer. It is built like wheelbarrow, with
two upwright posts, a beam with pulley
in the center, and a tin cylinder on
each end of about four inches in diameter,
perforated. Into these cylinders the
“pixen” is placed, and they are adjusta
ble to suit the height of the cotton, and
tho locomotion of the wheel revolves the
cylinders, and thus “the destroyer”
reaches the plant.
The chicken display, like that of the
State .Fair, is the best that has ever been
made here. In fact quite a number of
the coop* from Macon have arrived and
are on exhibition,
All the articles from Thomas county
which took premiums at the recent State
Fair are here, and of course take pre
miums. The following awards were
made to-day:
Corn—Be3t acre. Colonel R. H. Harda
way. Best five acres, Mr. McMath.
Sweet Potatoes—C. S. Neil,
Field Peas—C. S. NeiL
Finders—Forty bushels to the acre, T.
P. Jones.
■ Cotton—Best acre. Col. A. T. McIntyre.
Best five acres, J. T. Harvin.
Sugar Cane—Joshua CarroL
Bice—Beat acre. Mack Saddler, a col
ored man, the yield being over fifty-four
bushels to the acre.
There is a warm contest in the preserve
and canned fruit department. This dis
play is the finest ever made in Southern
Georgia, and if Thomas ville had entered
the ring at the State Fair for the $1,000
premium, she would have measured up
in this deportment with the best. The
decision of the committee is looked for
with great anxiety. They have just
commenced their labors this afternoon.
The rain has completely defeated the
Great Eastern. They struck their tents
and hurried off to the train tills after-
Their loss mast have been heavy.
Some of the gambling attaches were ar
rested and brought up before the Mayor
on last night. They were arrested on a
warrant sued out by a youngster who had
lost some Small change by fighting their
games. The warrants were all dismissed,
as there could be no proof adduced that
the games were those of chance. How
ever, one of the parties was so frightened
at the arrest of his comrades that he re
treated in hot haste over the cattle stalls,
and was heard from this morning in
Macon.
From the difficulties surrounding the
Fair it will be impossible for it to pay
uut ai.;» Unm. hut it has hitherto been
profitable to the stockholders, ana mis is
Jie first failure to realize a profit, it is to
be hoped that they are prepared to stand
the misfortune. The deficiency will not
be great. Better luck next time to them.
Jack Plane.
Reduction in Prices.
The Herald of Tuesday says there has
been a redaction in clothing in the New
York market of *rom five to fifteen per
cent. In dry goods it reports the follow
ing reductions at Stewart’s:
September 15. Yesterday.
Corset jean3 12jc. lOJc.
Amoskeag sat teen.... 15c. 13|e.
Cambrics 7jc. 7|c.
Boiled cambrics 8c. a SJc. 8c.
In bleached muslins the reduction was
very considerable, from 7| to 10 per cent.,
in white sheetings 10 per cent., brown
muslins 71 per cent., damask 10 per cent.,
and in all foreign goods an average re
duction of 10 per cent.
DRESS GOODS.
In dress goods tho reduction has also
been very great; in fancy goods it
amounted to 20 per cent., and in plain
poods to about 10 per cent. The trade
n dress goods is very qniet, and buyer*
have a fair retail trade.
SHAWLS.
In shawls of all kinds, from the most
expensive down to the very cheapest,
and in cloaks and costumes, t ie reduc
tion has been 10 per cent.
In groceries, sugar has fallen from one
to two cents a pound, teas from five to
ten cents, rice on * cent, sardines $1 per
dozen, extracts of meats 25 per cent.
The only articles that are exempt from
the stampede are coffee, champagne and
flour.
Tlie Immense Possessions of
the Sprag-ue Family.
The possessions of the Sprague brothers,
William and Amasa, in real estate alone,
give some idea of how immense must
have been their wealth before the recent
crash. Tho Herald enumerates some of
them as follows :
In Maine thev owned 400,000 acres of
the best timber land. In Kansas and in
T^xas they claimed vast tracts of land
also, and m South Carolina an extensive
purchase was made for a mill site a few
;reara ago. At Cranston, which is a vil
lage that, in the course of time, will be
part and parcel of this prosperous town
of Providence, they owned 1,784 acres,
which, of itself, was a fortune not to be
despised; in the adjacent village of
Johnston 839 acres, and in Warwich 728
acres. This land not many years hence
will be sold at so much per foot, and its
value is, therefore, simply incalculable.
In the town of Providence their property
was scattered in all directions. They had
six iron manufactories, they controlled
five banks, they owned the immense Bal
tic Mill, with 76,000 spindles; the Nat
ick Mills, with 42,000 spindles; the Au
gusta Maine Mills, with 40,000 spindles;
the Quidnick Mills, the Arctic Mills, the
United States Flag Manufacturing Com
pany, with 33,000 spindles.
1,180 Me* Discharged.
New Yoke, November s.—Two hundred
and thirty men were discharged this week
from the lumber yards on Green Point.
One hundred laborers were discharged at
Long Island City. One hundred cabinet
makers were discharged in the same city.
Four hundred and fifty were discharged
from the Brooklyn City Work-, and three
hundred more from the Pro?pect Park
improvements. The Rubber Comb facto
ry at College Point, Long Island, have
reduced their time to four days per week,
employing 600 men.

Cincinnati Banks all Right.
Cincinnati, November 8.—The Clear
ing-house Committee of the banks of this
city, to whom was entrusted the issuing
of Clearing-house certificates, have asked
to be discharged, as the certificates have
all been returned and by the committee
cancelled and destroyed, and the securi
ties received have been returned to par
ties. This closes up the arrangement by
which the banks have made common
cause to check the panic in every way.
The management of the affair has been a
success. Not a bank here having failed,
and only the sum of $450,000 of Clearmg-
' house certificates having been necessary
to tide over the period of panic.

NIGHT DISPATCHES.
Dentil of Mrs. Lee.
Intelligence lias been received here of
the death of Mrs. Let, widow of General
Robt. E. Lee, at Lexington, Virginia, on
Wednesday, the 5*h inst. She has been
an invalid for some years, and the recent
death of her daughter bore heavily upon
her declining strength.
Mrs. Lee was the only daughter of G.
W. I*. Cu-tifi, »r‘ Arlington, whr. w;i-
the youngest child of John Park Custis;
a son of Mrs. Washington by hes first
husband, and an aide-de-camp to General
Washington at the seige of Yorktown.
His two youngest children—one of them
the father of Mrs. Lee—were adopted by
General Washington.
G. W. P. Custis was brought up at
Mount Vernon and remained a member
of Washington’s family until the death
of Mrs. Washington, when he went to
reside on the Arlington estate, near this
city, which he had inherited from his
lather, and where he had erected the
mansion known os the Arlington iiuooc.
He was married in early life to Miss
Mary Lee Fitzhugh, of Virginia, and left
an only daughter, who became the wife
of General Robert E. Lee.
The late Mrs. Lee was a lady of exem
plary conduct and unassuming and gen
tle character. She was between sixty
and seventy years of ago at the time of
her death.
The Funeral of Mrs. Lee.
Richmond, November 8.—Tho obse-
a uies of Mrs. Mary Custis Lee, wife of
10 late General Robert E. Lee, who died
in Lexington on Thursday morning, took
jlace yesterday in the Memorial Chapel
n that town. Her three sons, W. H. F.
Lee, Custis Lee and Robert E. Lee. Jr.,
and her daughter were present, besides a
large concourse of friends.
Her remains were deposited beside her
husband’s in the Memorial room. Mrs.
Lee was 67 years of age.
Business was entirely suspended in
Lexington yesterday, many places being
draped in mourning, and the obsequies
were very imposing.
Foneral of Gen. Hardee.
Selma, Ala., November a—The re
mains of Gen. W. J. Hardee reached the
city this morning, and were met at the
depot by a vtst concourse of citizens.
Stores were closed and business was sus
pended, and the whole people united in
10noring the illustrious deiul. The re
mains were escorted by a long procession
to his late residence.
At three o’clock this afternoon the fu
neral services took place and another im
mense procession escorted the body to
the church, which was packed and with
hundreds in the streets, who could not
get in The services at the church hav-
ng ended, the procession reformed and
marched to the cemetery where the body
was consigned to the tomb. AU classes
and conditions united to honor General
Hardee, and tho funeral, with the excep
tion of General Lee’s, was the largest
that ever took place in Selma. Thou
sands were at the cemetery, for the peo
ple loved Hardee. Selma to day has him
n memory.
nrther Abont General Hardee’s Fu
neral.
There was a spontaneous outpouring
of our whole people to-day to receive the
remains of General Hardee. The mili
tary, fire department, municipal authori
ties, bar, clergy and people all did honor
to the memory of th© illustrious dead.
The bell3 were tolled during the day,
and business suspended. The funeral
procession was the largest ever wit-
- ,sed in this State. It was not
formality, but there was genuine
grief in the demonstration. The
General’s old black war horse Shiloh,
with empty saddle, and his old Confeder
ate grey coat upon it, brought tears to
the eyes of many a man who had seen
the loved form of the gallant dead on the
fields of carnage end __ amid the smoke of
battle. He was buried this evening at
four o’clock. The burial ceremonies of
the Episcopal church, were performed by
the Rev. Dr. Clements.
The Great Railroad Strike Ended.
Total impc.t* for the w.ekwer** $5,022,- j Tammany, like a giant refreshed with
new wine, rises again with something q£
her ancient strength, and the fifty-five
thousand majority of the Republicans on
their State ticket last fall, i: not com
pletely obliterated, is almost reduced to
nothing. Corresponding results are re
ported from Massachusetts, Virginix,
Wisconsin and other States. The Demo
cratic victory of October in Oiiio, it may
be contended, was accidental; but when
. we find the Eist, the West, the North
and the South all drifting in the same
general direction it is evident, at least, that
the sprinkling clouds of Octbber have
gathered and strengthened to the propor
tions of a political cyclone in November.
In the history of the country, since tho
time of Washington, there never was a
more overwhelming Presidential success
than that of 1872; and in our political
annals we have never had in a single year
such a- general shrinkage for the domi
nant party from heavy majorities to small
ones, and to minorities, as in 1873. The
popular whirlwind of 1840, which carried
General Harrison into the White House,
was followed by a marked political reac
tion in 18-41, and there have been some
other cases of this kind from time to time
but we have ha-1 no reaction of this char
acter to compare with this of 1873, touch
ing the disturbing forces at work, includ
ing the demoralizations, divisions, disaf
fection.-?, discontent and indifference of the
party iu power to the consequencsc.

A Great Carlist Victory.
Bayonne, November 8.—Intelligence
has just been received here of a great

Tho loss of the Republicans was' very
great, including among the killed Lt.
Generti Primo de Ravena. Gen. Moronex
wounded and taken prisoner by the
Royalists with forty-ouc uti.cr officer* of
the government army. The Carlists
also lost heavily. Among the wounded
on their side was General Olio and other
chiefs.
MIDNIGHT DISPATCHES.
An Overdue Steamer.
Nkw Yobk, November 8.—Tho bank
rapt case of Kenyon, Cox & Co., has been
amicably settled. Drew was a member
of the firm.
The steamer City of Richmond, which
a London dispatch announces as over
due, is one of the largest vessels entering
this port, and is one of the latest addit
ions to the Inman fleet. She is remark
able alike for her great size and the
completeness of her external fittings.
The agents of the Inman line in this city
say no anriety need be felt cohcoming
the safety of the vessel as the delay in
her arrival is probably due to some ac
cident to her machinery.
The Stock Market.
Stocks just before the close rallied to
the best figures of the day; hut at the
final leaving off yielded a fraction, though
the market keeps strong. Erie is the
weak spot, and being down three per
cent., brings it to 37$. Private advices
from London late in the day were less
favorable. Money was reported very ac
tive on the open market at nine per cent.,
and some firms had dispatches from their
London correspondents that the bank
rate would he advanced to ten per cent,
next week and tho bank act suspended.
Bricklayers’ Strike.
The strike of the bricklayers and la
borers continues, but without much sne-
ceas. There is a sufficient number of
non-society men, who work at reduced
rates, to meet tho demands of builders.
Thiee hundred and fifty laborers were
discharged to-day from the public works
owing to the appropriations being ex
hausted. Others are to be discharged
next week.
Cuban Indignation.
General Quesado and several other
Prominent Cubans in this city will take
ramediate steps to hold a meeting in
this city to express indignation at the
recent execution of their friends in Ha
vana. It is also said that General
Aguileros will soon have in readiness
six hundred men to lead into action in
Cuba.
French Politics.
Paris, November 8.—The bureaus of
the Assembly which deferred the naming
of three members of the Committee on
Prolongation of President MacMahon’s
powers until to-day, reassembled this
morning and elected Count de Remusat,
M. Leon Say and M. Laboula candidates
of the Left. This gives the Republican: a
majority of one on the committee. The
result ha3 given rise to the most
intense excitement. It is said that
the Right which, on the opening
of the Assembly on Wednesday last, sub
mitted a motion prolonging Marshal Mac
Mahon’s powers for ten years, has offered
compromise to make the term five
years. Leon Say, at the request of the
government, has consented to a postpone
ment of the debate on his interpolation,
for the failure to order elections to fill the
vacancies in the Assembly.
How the Emperor of Russia has to
Work for a Living.
When the yellow flag with the double
headed eagle of Russia in the centre flies
from the flagstaff of the Kremlin palace
it announces to Moscow that Alexander,
the emancipator, is in the ancient capital
ol his vast dominions. Constitutional
sovereigns lie on a bed of roses comp;ured
to the autocrat of Russia. From him
everything hinges in the country that
contains eight millions of square miles ;
with him moves the entire machinery of
state, and always on tho move his majesty
is obliged to be. Trained in tlie severe
school rf the Emperor Nicholas, Alexan
der never allowed himself a moment's
relaxation. It is known what a passion
ate soldier the Emperor of Germany is,
how he will even attend the drills of a
single company. The Emperor of Rus
sia, though, goes from review to review,
from field-days of five thousand men to
field-days of special arms, from the tar
get practice of a few non-commissioned
officers to a manoeuvre of the fleet. Now
in Poland, now in Tsarsko Selo, now at
Crons tad t, now in the Caucasus, and all
at once in the Crimea. Always soldiers,
soldiers, soldiers ! Ho himself is never
out of uniform, and none of the ministers
ever discard their epaulets. Tho imperial
suite is, of course, enormous. But to-day
his majesty is at Moscow; to-night ho
proceeas to the Crimea. In the train the
Minister of the Interior will prohibly see
him with innumerable papers for signa-t
t*ire; the minister of finance, of * justice,
or of foreign affairs will disturb the ini
perial rest. Such is it to be an emperor
and bow many there are who would give
a whole lifetime for five minutes in such
a position! For five minutes it may be
pleasant, but it is questionable whether
a longer experience would not bring about
a change of feeling.—Amy and Navy Ga

Fertilizing Compound!
This fertilizer is again offered to tit®
public in its original purity. The stand
ard has been kept up in every respect
and its intrinsic value has again been
demonstrated during tho past summer.
It is recommended, because:
“It is permanent in its effects in return
ing to the soil the fertilizing ingredients
taken from it by excessive cropping.
“It gives to cotton tho food necessary
to sustain life while fruiting, therefore,
what is called rust seldom occurs whero
this fertilizer is used.
Tt is the best restorer of worn out
lands known to agricultural chemistry.
‘Its effects are immediate in the pro
duction of large returns tho first season.
It is good for all crops, on any soil,
being pure unadulterated plant-food.
Tt is as good as the best, and is the
least expensive of any known good fertil
izer.
“It is manufactured at tho South and
almost entirely of Southern material.
“It utilizes the ammonia found on
every farm which is tho most expensive
part of all complete fertilizers.”
We subjoin a few of tho many certifi
cates in our possession, os to its value,
from well known parties who have used
it, and to whom we would refer.

V. L. llopsou, one car load of the Logon Fertili
ser, and used it this spring on my different forms. .
I am well pleased with it and shall use it another
year in preference to any other kind. 1 also used
the pure Peruvian Guano and other standard,
fertilizers, and by actual comparison, I am satis
fied the Logan is the best, and at much leas coat.

i used it b. ode of Reese’s 8eL Pacific, and give
yours the preference, and I shall Use it exclusive
