NOTICE! Insures Stores. Merchandise. Dwellings. Furni ture and all other projierty at LOWEST KATES! upon commorCC Why. my dear friend | of Solomnnian calibre, I inquire, do you exorcise your groat mind, or giro yourself unnecessary trouble about a question which you consider entirely out of order? Nnture has her arbit rary law* which none can infringe with impunity, and if the purblind farmer, in opposition to hot fiats and contrary to all precedent, should hurl himself headlong ngainst her statutes he will surely find his just uud merited pun ishment So why should tho wise be dis turbed or disquieted about a matter so foolish P If tbo ignorant farmer, to promote bis interests, should see fit to join his scanty supply of brains with his neighbor, and so on continue to add < tuJ nrauu together ...mi the aggregate assumed tne dimensions of a respectable man of sense, why should those more fortunate in brain culture or suppy raise a voico in opposition to this conjunction of brains ? It is not tho intention, or desire, of this order of farmers to injure in tho least tho interests of any other class of people, but all they propose to do is to protect their own interests. If to accomplish this pur pose they should innocently injuro any singlo individual, or interest, it will only provo that that individual, or interest, lias subsisted upon tho lean, attenuated system of tho farmer. If we, by banding together, find that wo cease to be a prey to many who follow in our wako, like the shark in the wake of n vessel to swallow up tho unfortunate, why should wo re main in a disorganized tnto ? There should lie no sore heads on our account, and if our efforts are so vain and futile— our ideas so chimoricnl—our strength so insignificant—our action so completely 'circumscribed by immutable laws—if, in fact, like nil mortal men, our views ore more exalted than our means, and our prize far out of our reach in an utopian tree, why should any fenr that through our deliberations they may loso a vocation ? Tho objoct or objects hold in viow by tho Order of the Patrons of Husbandry aro honorablo and calculated, when attained, as attained they will lie, to benefit nil classes and give general prosperity to tho country. Tho first and foremost object in view is to work back (for this work is some what retrograde) to an old fashioned cash system. In order therefore to ac complish this objoct we begin to practice homo economy—retrench our expenses by dispensing with luxuries and all wants not absolutely imli.ipensible. Fifrthering this great object we will find we can dis pense with a considerable portion of our hired labor, nnd likewise curtail the num ber of acres shuffled over every year in un profitable crops. Next wo will have a less number of mules to feed—more land to grow gross to raise sheep, cows nnd so forth—and more com to food to the hogs. If wo get on tlie right road to cosh payment-, wo will find thoncronge in cot ton suddenly diminished, to be gradually increased at our option, when the object in view shall have been attained. Right hero will come in a result. What yon say my wise friend ? Can’t we control tho price of cotton P Why, we would not care but little about the pries of cotton so wo contiblled the rot ton. We would 1h> troubled about the price of cotton, but wo would fool confident the cotton was ours, and wo would sell it ad the year round at a profit. And when it was likely to be cheap from stack de mand or extraordinary yield we could hold back tho surplus and plant loss tho next year. Would not this be a happy result springing from the attain ment of that primary object—the easli system ? Who will say nay ? The sec ond object in viow (and this is hardly secondary in importance) is to control and regulate lalor. Perhaps the wiso gian will say this is another fauciful idea. But not so. Tho first object accom plished, the second would follow as nat urally as water flowing down hill. The negro would come to work, and work | willingly for that man who paid him tho money regularly once or twice par month. Ho would work cheap, too, knowing it would be useless to ask more than the grangers were paying. And when ho i failed to work as ho should, or was found guilty cf any misdemeanor, a ready dis missal without a character would await him. The third object in view is the general improvement of nil interests per taining to the farm and the country at large—developing mineral resources— utilizing our water and land navigation— restoring the fertility of worn lands— beautifying our homes and giving com fort to all—hedging in our lands from Intruders and scouring thereby innu merable blessings—and God would doubt less bless us with more fruitful seasons and give us rain and sunshine as the heart desired. These objects are laud able, and may I hope that none aro so foolish as to be arrayed in hostility against the grangers, but rather give us aid and help us accomplish our objects, nnd then no good, honest man in all the land will lose his place and cry “ Othel lo’s occupation's gone-” Respectfully, etc., J. S. Wresists. Macon, December 5, 1S73. Editors Telegraph and Messenger: I no tice every how and then a eulogistic card iu your paper about the prompt and generous manner in which some insurance company paid tho life policy upon tome ono. Somo people that do not pay any premiums annually to l : fe insurance companies might think those puffs per fectly grand. But I, Messrs. Editors, pay so much money every year for so much insurance on my life. Tho amount I pay is specified on the face of my re ceipt, and tho amount I am insured for is probably ns strong a contract ns per- uaps you ever read—that they will promptly pay to my wife so much money in caso of my death. All of thi3 is in black and white, and signed and counter signed by all the officials, and for all of thi3 I pay them what they charge, annu ally, "very promptly.” If it should occur to mo that tho policy on my life would not be paid promptly, I shonld certainly never make another payment. These notices of promptness lead mo to suspect that come aro not prompt. Thom that aro not prompt aro the ones, in my judg ment, to bo ventilated, and not those that simply do what they solemnly covenant to do. W. L. Eluis.

Editors Telegraph and Jf .meager: This county may justly be considered tho ‘queen county iu Southwestern Georgia. With a population overreaching fifteen thousand, the society is unexceptionable. Tho plan tors, as a class, are inteUigent. en terprising,industrious, honorable,upright, cultivated gentlemen. They have raised cxceUent crops this year and have cau- coUed honorably all their indebtedness for fertilizers and other supplies, and are now enjoying their beautiful rural homes in ease and independence. Tho money panic docs not effect thorn, only in the low prices they receive for their cotton and other produce. Dawson is the largest city iu the county and is generally known throughout the State for its rapid growth and out orpriso. It has a population of twenty-five hun dred or three thousand and a large num ber of business houses, not Liking into account the professions which are a host in themselves and are ail well represent ed. It boasts also a car factory, machine shops, steam mills and other minor en terprises. The citizens are refined and courteous, the mercantile fraternity are sagacious, prudent, enterprising, public- spirited and reliable. There are other towns in the county made up of as talent ed and liberal-hearted people a3 can be found any where. There are twenty public schools in tin county established on as accurate' a sys tem as those free schools in the cities, ex cept that they are not entirely on the free Biff Dogs on tlie Auction Block Prom the New York Sun. Novcmbc • 2k) An unusual attraction was offered on Saturday at Barker & Chase's auction mart, four magnificent mastiff dogs being up for sale. They are descendants of Lord Walgravo’s celebrated mastiff, Turk, of which there arc but two other importations in America, ono of which is owned by Mr. Dclaficld Smith, tho Cor poration Counsel. Tho dogs were, probably with tho ex ception of tho two already mentioned, the finest specimens of the ftastiff breed that have ever been brought to this country. They aro a female, four nnd a half years old, the mother of tho other three, one of which is a dog of immense sizo, about sixteen months old, and the other two, which are but a little smaller, are a male and female of eight months. Tho old dog was imported from England some time ago, and tho other throe wore horn in this country. They all be longed to Mr. J. Ilowavd McHenry, of Sndbury, Maryland. They are very much alike, with dark faces, and hair rather longer and lighter than is usually seen on dog3 of this kind. They were a little lazy and climbed rather heavily over tlio lower boards of the stalls when the keeper.) removed the upper planks and loosened their chains. Once outside, however, they were activo enough, and tbe men who held their chains with the intention of loading them to the auc tioneer’s stand were compelled to submit to being led themselves. The first two exposed for sale were the sixteen-months’ old dog and the so-called jmp of eight months. The latter little 1 creature was restive, and with tho proba ble viow of finding his mother he drew his keeper swiftly around the ring at tho end of his chain. The older dog quietly trotted up to the auctioneer’s stand, and seating hiuisclf on his haunches, looked with a severely reproachful air at the man who was abont to dispose of him. Capt. Barker explained that the chains did not go with tho dogs, and told pros pective purchasers that they would have to provide themselves with stout ropes. Tlie two dogs wero put up separately, tho purchaser having the option by choosing cither. Mr. Chase explained that the animals wero well worth $350 each, and Capt. Barker said that lie knew nothing of dogs, but ho thought if they wore .worth anything they were worth that, and, so encouraged, a bystander of fered $10 for choice, but quickly with drew bis bid on hearing that his pur chase would cat him out of house and home in a month. Another bid of $10 was made and it quickly ran up to $30. Capt. Barker thought there could not l>o many dog-fanciers present, and Mr. Chase said there must be a good many judging from the number of spectators. "When $-15 was reached, tho auctioneer said a well-dressed gentleman had been there in the morning, and au thorized him to bid as high as $50, but as bo had refused to leave a deposit ho would pay. no attention to him. Fifty dollar* was bid, and tho auctioneer said the spectators couldn’t want dogs very badly to offer so small an amount for ani mals about which he had received be tween 18,000 and 20,000 letters a day from different parts of the country. The bidding at length closed at $60, and the purchaser eliose the older dog—tho largest of tho four. “What name?” inquired tho auctioneer, and the spectators crowd ed around to hear the answer. “Mr. Van Winkle,” said a large, plainly dressed man, adding in a loud whisper “Del'.field Smith, you know.” ne paid his deposit, and the Corporation Counsel is the possessor of two mastiffs. The male pup sold to a Mr. East for $S0, which Mr. Chase said might be con sidered a large price but it was not a quarter bis value. The choice between the mother and the female pup was then put up, and starting at $10 was knocked down to Mr. East for $50. The purchaser chose the mother. The female pup starting at $15 wa3 pur chased by Mr. Hastings for $33. S ECTION SOI.

Tho Langdale, therefore, has a good pedigree and U a ' experiment.
