They complain that we do not give them

much silver that we must pay it out some

Yellow Peveb ix Oobin'TB.—A Memphis
dispatch to the Appeal of the 12ih says the
fatal scourge has at last reached Corinth.
Last evening the Mayor and President of
the Board of Health were taken with a high
fever and have continued to grow worse.
Their attending physicians pronounce it
yellow fever. The people are doeing to the
country, but farmers have quarantined and
many are roaming the woods trying to get a
place of safety. In the last hour a large
number of families have left. The Board of
Health lias issued a notice calling on all
persons interested to have their clothing
and bedding carefully boiled, cleaned mhd
disinfected as soon as the yellow-fevtr
parties have convalesced. It is very impor
tant that this coarse be pursued without
exception. It is also asked thaf any noose
needing disinfection be reported at once to
the office of th% Board of Health.
plant would have to begin fructification
anew. This, at the very beat, wouid
have pa: it farther behind by a month or
six weeks, and very seriously diminish
tho product.
But Instead of another hot and dry sea
son, we have had ttut anomilly for Aug-
cst, cool weather—weather, which in
Macon, bn welcomed euurisa with a tem
perature m the aeventia®, from 61 moder
ately upwards. And instead of becoming
suddenly dry agiin, we have h-1 g-ntle
•ho acra and a humid atm03pbcre>ll along.
Under these conditions, the plant has re
tained ail its stages of frnctificatioa, end
all the uplands we believe to be in
protDun® ' condition. The heavier lands

may yet iojure the crop soriomly, end the
Texas crop has been pretty much barn.
np.J The drought there, by last aocoun’s,
not yet relieved and the damage Deyond

that is a question, in ft great degree, of
an early or late frost. It is backward

Well Dons.—We are rejoiced to seu
that the Georgia House of Eepresenta-
tlvet, by the very pronounced vote of 88
yeas to 40 nays, has rejected the bill to
repeal the law anthorizing the inspec
tion of commercial fertilizer®. It is only
a matter of astonishment that a eiogl
voico ehould have been recorded in too
negative.
The law as it stands brings an annual
net revenue of $20,000 into the Treatu
ry, and at the same time effectually
drives from the market all spurious and
bogus compounds. It will bo remember
ed how sorely the country was afflicted
several years since with so-called fertil
izers, some of which were utterly value
lese. Then followed a largo amount of
litigation and unutterable vexation to tho
farming community. Men were unwill
ing to pay full valne, or indeed in indi
vidunl instances, anything for costly sand
and mud, barely “atenchifiea” with a lit
tie ammonia or some other load amcllin^
ingredient.
But see how, under the oporation of
this inspecting law, the situation has
changed? Now, a few standard com
pounds manufactured by capitalists who
have a pride in keeping up to the highest
point the published analysis of the rnsn
urea they sell, aod are fully aware that
any deception would work their own
ruin, furnish all tbecommercial fertilizers
that are used, and wo hear of no com
plaint whatever.
To have abolished the inspection And
turned loose counterfeit compounds upon
the community, would have beenfa great
wrong to ike farmers and horticulturolUts
of the State.
Tho emphatic action in the premises,
doubtless, of tho State Agricultural Con
vention which has just olosed its sessions
in Jonesboro, had no little to do with this
wise action of the House. It was a fresh
and unmistakable voico from the bosom
of the people, and it was meet that it
should be heeded.
Extraordinary Growth op Cottos—
The Quickening Efpict of Guano.—
The note below, which comes from an
unquestionable source, will show the for**
cing properties of guano upon cotton.
Our correspondent does not statu that the
land was enrich d by the application of
commercial fertilizers, bat we doabt not
that each was the case. Tho sandy lands
around Batler could not possibly pro
duce such results without bt-lp. In this
connection we would say that a resident
of this coanty, who planted one and a
fourth acres of corn about the middle of
March, has harvested the crop already,
the yield amounting to twenty-six bash-
els. Tho land was manured heavily with
phosphates mixed with fonr times their
bulk of good farm lot manure. Bat for
the drought, at least forty bushels would
have been housed, though the soil was
poor and sandy. We print tho letter of
our correspondent, as followe:
Butlxs. August I I, IS79.
Editors Telegraph and Messenger: Two
mouths ago yesterday, Mr. E. B. Waters,
of this place, planted a field in cotton, af-
harvesting a goad crop of oats from
the same. The cotton seed did not come
up as speedily as they might have dono
under moro favorable circumstances. The
cotton is uow over knee high aud in full
bloom. The first blooms made their ap
pearance on the 5th of August, one
month and twenty days from the time
the seed were planted. There are twen
ty acres of this cotton, oa sandy land,
within the corporate limits of Batler.
Pretty good for poor land, don’t you
think ? Taylor.
Personal.—We had the pleasure o*
meeting Rev. Hr. Skinner on the street
yesterday. He his been making a flying
visit to Maeon for the purpose of closing
up his business concerns, and took his
final departnre last night.
The Doctor has been called, by a unan
imous vote, to his old church at Kaleigb,
C., whose pulpit he had formerly filled
for more thau fourteen years, and of
which he may be said to have been almost
the founder.
When he met the congregation, after
so many long years of separation, the
saene was most affecting. Hardly a dry
eye was to be seen in the church, and be
was welcomed with a warmth which spoke
volumes for the faithful ministrations of
their former bishop.
The Doctor is an able, frank and out
sposen servant of the l.vingGod, and we
wish him mnch happiness and success
among the dear people who know and love
him so well.
Not too Ii»t© to Plant Irish
Potatoes.
Th : e who have neglected to put in a
f-e.-ttnd crop of Iririh potatoeB for winter
;:s’, are a-rnred that it ia by no means
too late to do bo now,with the mo=t satis
factory result®, if the seasons prove favor
able. * Indeed, unless the tubers had
sprouted nothing was gained by planting
earlier. Oar plan is to dig the spring,
crop early in August, for if left in the
earth later they sprout and become
watery. Before spreading, if posfiible, in
a cool, datk place, carefully select ont
•.very sprouting potato for seed. These,
if planted whole, can be put into the
ground immediately.
If very large, split length-wise, in two
piece® and wait a day cr two, or until the
eap ceases to exude and a slight pellicle
forma on the cat earface, before palling
oat. Seed potatoes in this condition will
come forth in ten or twelve days and grow
off immediately. If new potatoes are
planted as they come without selecting
the fepreuted one*, they will wemaia in
the ground for an almost indefinite pe-
nod. We have had them to keep coming
op until a killing frost supervened. Any
potato raiser also knows that even th
following spring many tobjra are plowed
np unaprouttd and perfectly sound, but
wattry and tasteless. The writer did not
make his second planting from the first
Crop aii'il the 11th inst.
It will be borne in mind that the Irish
potato flourishes best in a cool, moist
climate, like that of Great Britain, Nova
Scotia or New England.
Hot sens at once arrest the growth of
the plants, and they decline and die un
der their inflaence, even when not ma*
tnred. Hence the importance of veiy
early seeding in the spring, and for the
same reason the necessity of waiting un
til the gammer heats are pretty well over,
before planting the second crop. This
vegetable is of very quick growth, and
will m^tare in about ten week-.
Am the cold weather arrests all tenden
cy to germination,our habit Is to leave the
fall crop of potatoes in the ground all
winter, digging them as required At
the depth they should be planted to in
sure moisture, there is sot the least dan
ger from freezing in this latitude. Last
winter the writer enjoyed his new Irish
potatoes fresh and delicious, when tho
frezsn top ernst of the soil had to be re
moved to get at them. So mnch for late
Irish potatoes based upon an extensive
experience both in Middle Georgia and oa
tho eea coast.
Bit. E. W. Warren, D.D.—Wo learn
from good anthorily that this excellent
and devont ohristian gentleman, who was
formerly the pastor of the First Baptist
Chnrch in this city, will probably reoeivo
a unanimous invitation to officiate again
in the same capacity. The election comes
off to-morrow, and there is much entha-
siam manifested in behalf of the doctor.
So acceptable was a he when sojourning
here, to the people of every denomina
tion nud class of the commanity, that if
a pk incite were possible, he woold bd
elected by acclamation. Dr. Warren is
now the beloved pastor of an important
chnrch in Richmond, V*»., and receives a
salary of f3,000 per annum. If he thinks
it his duty, however, to return to his
old charge, no peonniary consideration
will deter hiui from doing so. Macon
would receive him with open arms.
TIi© British Cation Trade.
1 he Liverpool Post makes a series of
elaborate calculations, upon the bads of
the returns from tne different cotton
manufacturing districts of Great Bri
tain, to ascertain the exact extent of
the depression in that industry, and the
actual consumption of cotton. The num
ber of spindles in the United Kingdom
is 40,000.000, their capacity, working
foil time, being 60,000 bales a week, or
3,120,000 bales per annum. Tho de -
presaion as measured by the number of
spindles eUnding or working less than
foil time, is estimated at 21 per cent. •
which would leave the consumption at
45,000 bale3 per week, or 2 340,000 per
annum.
How much of this "take” is at present
cotton grown in the the United States ia
an interesting question. Oar tr.tfrl ex
ports of*co r ton from September 1, 1878,
to date is 3.373,5SC bales, but it is not *o
eitsy to ascertain wnat percentage of this
is u.-ed for English mills and how mnch
in Fr^nob, German, Belgian, Austmnand
Sp&nkn mi‘:s. In 1873, on tho 1 asU of
a total ccneump'irn cf 3,335,000 bales
England took 1 654.000 bales from the
United States, 737.000 from India, 509,-
000 from Brazil, 306.000 from Egypt,
and 129,000 bales from sundry other
countries. But since the depression in
trade Great Britain has bought much
more largely of tte best tuples in the
cheapest markets, and has taken consid
erably less from tbe subsidiary countries
which entered upon cotton culture in con
sequence of our civil war. 8..1I, Great
Britain has received from Bombay and
other ports, since January 1, 752,000
bales, and from Egypt 170,700 “cantars,”
(bales of 98 pounds.) The India bale
does not average more than 300 pounds
in weight, if eo much. It is evident that
the United States have not yet resumed
the position held by them with regard to
the cotton supply of England previous to
the outbreak of the civil war. Some
of the ground has been recovered, bat
not all of it.

Wholesale Wheat Kaisino.—Tho
Dalrymp'o wheat farm in the valley of
tbe Bed Hirer of the North, oontains 37,*
000 scree, of which 13,000 are this year
in wheat in a eingle block, making a
held of twenty equsro miles. The aver-
erage yield this year it is estimated will
be from 23 to 25 kaehels per sere, and
the total wheat crop of the farm is ex
pected to be between four and fire hun
dred ihotuand bushels, the profit being
over forty oents per bushel. The net
profits of tho farm this year are expected
to excetd $180,000, The Dslymple form
is not tilled on the exhaustive principle.
Manure is eared aud clover sowed, n
ood portion of tho wheat being grown
on the inverted clover sod. Ia this way
the owner expects to keep up the fertili
ty of his soil for many years, but of
course his wh, at crops will grow less and
less productive.
The Next CensC.s.—A correspondent
of tbe New York Tribune thicks Gen.
Walker’s estimate of 10,000,000 as tbe
in rease of population during the decade
1870 SO Considerably too low. He paints
out that there has been no decade except
the last the experience of which would
warrant eo small an estimate, and the
civil war was the cause of the exception
ally low rate of increase during that pe
riod. The lowest previous rate of in
crease was 32 69, which would give n
population of 51,163,102 in 1SS0, while
the average rate of increase for the past
nino decades, 33.35 per cent, would
bring the number up to 51,113,732. Tne
commercial depression hss probably ex-
eicleed a retarding effect, but, making
every allowance for this influence, the
census should show fully fifty millions.
A Consequential Mukdeb. — Same
days ago, iu New York, a lady sleeping
with her child and bnsband, in an nttack

she sprang from the bed, seized her child
and jumped from the piazza of the house
into the street. The child was unhurt,
but the unfortunate lady received such
injury to her spice that she died on the
11th instant.

Canon Beadon, an English dergy-

first severe illness was an attack of bron

had a most imperturbable' temper and
singularly even spirits, and would not
allow anything to worry him. He had
many an entertaining remembrance ; not

The Cateepillak is getting to be de
structive in the cinebrske region of Ala
bama. The Demopolis N«cj learns that
on the place of Hon. S. F. Lyon, near
Faunsdale, the cotton in some parts of
tbe field is stripped of its leaves half-way
down the stalk. In one tract of thirty
acres, not a leaf is left on the upper half
of the plant. We are also informed that
the same condition of things exists about
Springhill, snd the general belief is that
only a few days will elapse before the
work of the caterpillar will be complete.

Cateepillak. — It is an established
fact, says the Albany Netrs, that the
“caterpillar is her3, and has coma to
stay. We hear of them in large quanti
ties in Mitchell, Baker and Daugnerty
counties, and every day new reports of
tueir appearance reach us. This is the
first crop, aud is said to be an unusually
large one. Wo have not heard of any
damage done by them as yet, hat as the
plant is still very rich and tender, it is
reasonable to suppose that they will do
considerable injury to tho erop.”
The same paper says the corn crop
throughout that section is generally bat
ter than was anticipated, but is short
nearly one-half.
Wo also find the following ia an edito

Andxheb Jail Delivery in Houston
County.—The Home Journal has tho fol
lowing:
Satnrday evening about sundown he
alarm was heard in the direction of the
jail and a stream of citizens at occo set
for that place. On reaching tbe scene of
action we learned that two prisoners had
just escaped and made their way suc
cessfully to Big Indian swamp. The
particulars are substantially as follows :
Mr. Butner, the sheriff, neat down at
the usual time to feed and water tbe
prisoners. There were six in jail, three
in eaoh of the lower cells. He unlocked
one cell after entering, and let out one of
the prisoners who was in the habit of
drawing water, etc. Before the dcor
could be secured the other two rushed out
and seized him, throwing him down al
most in the cell. They demanded his
pistol, saying if he would give it up
they would not hurt him. They then
violently tore it out of his hip-pocket,
and as he followed them to the door,
threatened to shoot him. The one who
was let ont to draw water at once made
off, and the one who had tho pistcl fol
lowed as soon as he could g„t off. The
third prisoner was reoaptured jnst out
side the jail and marched back to hia
cell by Mr. Butner.
Every sheriff we have had since the
war has at some time during his term of
office been overpowered by toe prisoners,
Mr. Fierce was severely assaulted with a
bar of iron. Mr. Baiaey, deputy sheriff,
was foroed to shoot a prisoner,not fataliy,
in self-defense. Mr- Norwood was over
powered in ■ manner almost identical
with the ease of last Saturday.

dollars, let it go, and apply the proceeds
to tbe payment of the Slate’s bonds.
However, we have no idea the road
will be leased, and we shall be glad to
see Col. Geo. W. Adams continue to man
age it. We think it would be well also
to apply the net earnings of the road to
tbe purchase of rolling stock, as it is
reported that the State is paying parties
in New York an interest of eeven per
cent, on rolling stock valued at one hun
dred and fifteen thonsaod dollars, but
which is actually worth but about forty-
five thousand dollars. We don’t fully
understand the arrangement, bat tbe
interest is said to be about twenty-five
per eent. Surely a better arrangement
than that can be made. Let the read use
its net earnings for the next twelve
months, instead of taming them over to
the State Treasury, as it has done for the
last two or three years.

The Defoob Mukdeb—Wa find the
following in tbe Columbns Times, of yes
terday, in regard to this matter :
Thoqui-t little villago of Salem, on the
Western Road, was thrown into qnite a
state of excitement over tbocipturs of a
nearo, a ftw miles from there, who ia
strongly BU-pccted of beiDg one of the
murderers of the aged couple near Atlau-
te a short while ago. Ccmmnnicstiocs
Irons two different correspondents are be
fore us in reference to tho matter and from
them we oondenseas followed
Captain Simms and Mr. Hurst, of Sv
lear, got tho negro, named George Wil
liams, in tho corner of the fence and
then produced both pistol acd phot gun.
Tne negro grabbed the end of the gun
r.nJ rushed by them. Several shots were
fired, but as tho negro did not atop, it
■vai supposed that the shots did Dot take
effect.
On Tupsday evening Captain Aldridge,
of the Atlanta police, arrived at Salem
and the f>ot was made known that a re
ward of $800 was offered for the capture
of the murderers This added fuel to
the flames and as it was reported that
Geo. Williams had passed through the
lower part of the village, many men and
boys armed with guns, pistols and sticks
started out in pursuit. Mr. Z. an mb suc
ceeded in arresting him three miles
south of Salem. It was then found .hat
the negro had received a flesh wound in
the thigb. Capt. Aldridge took the pris
oner in charge and left with him for At
lanta on yesterday’s morning train.
They stopped, however, at Opelika,
awaiting a requisition from the Govern
or. While George Williams stoutly as
serts his Innocence, the Atlanta officer is
certain that the prisoner is connected
in some way with the horrible Defoor
murder. Further developments may
poisibly arise.
The only evidence that is publicly
known against the negro is that ho was
seen to have a dirk knife in his posses
sion that was stained with blood, and
that Saturday morning last, in the union
passenger depot in this city, his wife was
seen with a shawl that answers the des
cription of tho one which Mrs. Defoor
was seen to wear a short time before her
death. Tne shawl wag wrapped around
a baby which she had in her arms. Tho
shawl and the dirk knife, as far us we
know,’ have not been secured.
Has the editor of tho Gainesvillo Eagle
been to Atlanta recently, and did he,
whilo there, como to gr,ef in any way?
We merely ask for information after
reading the following, whioh appears in
the last iisue of his paper:
Bed Checks vs. Gbeasy Cards.—The
Atlanta Constitution ol a few days ainoa
gives a grsubloqneut account of how the
able and efficient police of'Tue greatest
oity in Georgia’’ swooped down npon a
low den ot greasy negroes who were
drinking state beer and playing seven np
with greasy cards, aud yanked them into
the offioi.il hopper through which low-
flung grist inaft pass to tbe justice mill.
The occasion was suoh a grand one that a
special reporter was detailed to sooom
p.my the bravo sqnad who were to swoop
down on sable sin aud write up tbe affair
iu all the grandeloquent gorgeousoo^s
which so important a matter deserved.
Toe whole scene is given in that mag
nificent veil)/ vernacular for which the
average Atlanta reporter is so conspicu
ous.
Ab, Justice! Ob, Law!—what farces
are perpetrated in thy name! A few
blocks away from where these poor black
nickel flippers were playing a small five
cent ante, the bright glaro of the cut
glass chandeliers of tbe “Big Bonanza,”
tbe “Alhambra” and the “Girl of the Pe
riod” fell atnwart the graui.-e pavemea".
Inside, instead of nickels, dollars by the
hundred were staked on the “green,” but
the efficient police and the astute reporter
pass theso by. Iu there, gentlemen (?)
with diamond stud buttons, neary chains
and clothes of the latest cut, staked red
checks and drsak equally red brin
dy from cut glass decanters, and the
atmosphere was frugiant with tho arotua
of tho finest Havanas In thu dan, thu
miserable inmucs, in lieu of red checks,
put down oa the greasy table rusty nick
els; instead of old Otard imbibed stale
beer, ana instead of a fragrant atmos
phere of “clear Havana filling.” the air
reeked with the deleterious till avia ef
fervescing from filthy cob pipes. The
efficient police know nothing of the B >-
nanza, Alhambra or Girl of the Period,
while the brass star shines upon their
lappels, bat with characteristic shrewd
ness and bravery swoop down npon the
poor African aud incarcerate him, and
defer their visits to the “tones” places
until they are off duty.

The happiest hunter of the season is
Mr. W. Z. Lse, of Laurens county, who
killed an eighty-four pound (net) buck
one day last week.
Tw negroes took refuge from a storm
under a tree near Kingston, last Thurs
day, and one of them was instantly killed
by a lightning stroke. The other was
unhurt.
The editor of the Walton county Fi.
Jette has recently bean to Atlanta, and
after looking in on tbe Senate, has some
thing to eay about the make up of that
body. We quote him as follows:
As a wto'.e the Senate ia a body of men
above mediocrity but is some seBts we
saw the Hon. Potiphar Peagreen, unmis
takably. There he sita soar and perspir-
ringly, in the ample folds of his long
worn linen duster, with hair and beard
unkempt—drawing his per diem—clogg
ing the wh-eis of business and disgusting
tbe intelligent put of the Senate and
galleries with his arrogance and ignor-
anoe. Without sufficient brain to grasp
aod oomprehend the true import of good
English, he must needs be enlightened
bv the intelligent part of the body. The
Hon. Potiphar is a great mistake of
well-meaning constituency, and a great
eyesore to the State, and Bhonld be elim
inated.

And then, too, the reckless boldness with
which tho twain carried on their little game

Tfce Sprague Family.
Providoace Letter to Philadelphia Times.]
The Spragtcs, of Rhode Island, are cf tho
second generation of a family wfiose fortum s
began with the founding of the great busi
ness of which William and Amasa Sprague,
of the present day, are the hu-d. This eas
iness dates back to about tho year 1820.
Thoro were two brothers, Dyrou aui William
Bpraguo, who star.ed it. They prosper©
grew immensely rich and exerted a wide po>*
litical i fluence in ithede island. Their hrat
and lurgaat pnnt factories were at Cranston
and Providence. Finally they died, and two
brothers of tho second generation, sons of
tho elder William, succeeded them. These
are tho William and Am&s* of tho present
day. Large as the fcu'ineas was then #he
joung men took hold of it, it was as nothing
compared to wka they mike it in aftertimes.
Bofcio their financial {.embarrassment, wmch
followed on the heels cf the Dancan, Sher
man & Co. failure of a few yoars ago, itnodo
Island fairly groaned with the weight of the
Spragues* property. They owned wholo vil
lages and towns, whose sole subsistence de
pended upon tbe proepeiicy of their facto
ries. Iu their palmy days thoy employed
upwards of ten thousand hands, to say noth
ing of agents and others outside regular
operatives. Among tho towns thoy may ha
said to have practically owned wore Orau-
ston. Arctic, Natick, Baltic and Qaidnick.
Besides they have large factories in Pxov.-
donoe and Olnoyville. They owned stroet
lailwaya and lumber mills; they owned
So aud slo unship linos; they owned or con
trolled tureo or four eaviogs banks and as
many moro national banks.
Their enterprise was not confined wholly
to llhode island. Thoy bought up lands and
water privileges iu Maine and Isorth Caro
lina after tho war aLd cuilt factories there .
No enterprise soomod too vaas for them to
undertake Their interest in tLo iihodo
Island savings banks alone represented
enormous wealth. This cannot bo fully un
derstood without explaining that a savings
bank in & manufacturing town means a
great deal moro than tho ravings bans ia
tho ordinary sense. For example, there is f
bank in tint State now which has on de
posit over eight million dollars. Tho depo:
uors are almost 6ntirely working peopli
representing sums of 91,000 *ach.
The failur3 of the 8pr«guea is said to
have been due to Duncin, tih'irmaii & Co.
crash in New Y'oik It is bohevai they wdl
yet como out all right. They owa millions
of dollars' worth of property in lthodu Is
land still au i their fao*o.ios aro all in opo-
1 ration, under the ma-agemunt of a trus’oo.
This is Mr. Ziclnriah Chcffey. At ihe time
of the failure of the brothers they put their
property all into Mr. Ou*ffa>’s hands. Their
assets ran up to about •’313,000,0,0, while
their liabilities wero soa tuning over 5$7,00 ;, ,«
000. Notwithstanding tho shrinkage in val
ues the prospect, according to competent
judges, is that the debts will b9 pud dollar
for dollar, aud with largo propeity still iu
thoir postestion. Patience oa ihe part of
their creditors is the main thins:. If tho lat
ter do not pro is tnem it is believe I their
busiueBs will in tima regain its old footing.
