t ' . , than an averaae yield wo have
c-j i..- op • toe large calcuia'ions that weio
made. From various seci'itts we learn
I hat if has fallen short fully one fourth.
There can be no mistaking that farmers
throughout the State have heretofore esti
mated the yield higher than it turns out.
They have done weM. however, and may
be satisfied with a good crop, at least.
Those who have sold, have generally reai
ized a mote than ordinary price. In the
early part of the season quantities of wheat
were disposed of at from SI l<> SI.25 per
bushel. As the price advanced the quan
tity in market rapidly increased. I he sum
of 31 50 and SI 65 per bushel for wheal was
Something so extraordinary of late years,
and offered such strong inducements t..
farmers to avail themselves of those prices,
that a large portion of the crop was at once
thrown into market. It is reasonable to
estimate that the quantity yet on hand is
not extensive. We have reliable informa
tion front various portion* of the State to
that effect. The time when most of <>ur
farmers dispose of their wheat crop, is now
nearly passed, and if purchasers ate holding
back with the idea that there ate large quan
tities yet to be sent to maiket, they will
very likely find themselves mistaken.
We can hardly hope for so latge a yield
of wheat next year as we have hail this.
The reasons are obvious.— Last year, with
many of our farmers, their crops were large
ly iiictoased, we may say almost doubled,
by the use of guano. This year they have
been unable to obtain a necessary supply of
the article. Rather than be imposed upon
to the outrageous extent guano dealers were
disposed to go. they determined to endeav
or to get along for this season without the
use of it. The supply in the market ap
pears to have been much short of that of last
year. Let the fault be either in a curtailed
supply, or with speculators who may have
hoarded it for the purpose of getting exor-

rounded by a number of student. fn>m the ;
University, variously estimated at ftom fifty |
to seventv-five, who demanded that one of i

to their tevenge. The person so demanded
was an officer io the To>a n Hall on Friday j
night, when those students who occasioned j
the disturbance at Wyman’s were arrested. 1
The demand was not complied with.
Professor Minor addressed the crowd, be- '
seeching them to disperse, saying lhat they |
could not get at the officer unless over the ;
dead bodies of forty peaceable citizens, j
himself among the number. Other persons ;
spoke and several ofthe crowd left, but oth- !
ers remained, clamorous for the officer. In
the meantime, information had been sent to
the town, the bolls wete rung, and in a short
lime some seventy armed men repaired to
tbe Delaware House; but ete they reached
it, the clamorous crowd without had dis'
persed. A result which under the circum

The Legislature the past week has had
under consideration many important sub
jects Not the least of which was ihe re
moval of the f>eHt of Government, which
wns made the special order of the day for
Thursday lust. The -object was confused
by a number ofstihf-iitutesarid amendments
and after a short discussion, the bill to
gether with the substitutes and amend
ments, tvas referred to the Finance Com
mittee, where it at present rests. When
the bill comes up on ils passage, wehave
something to say in reference to its merits
which we defer until that time.
Several new counties have been created
during the past week, and “the cry is. still
they come.’’ As appropriate names are
getting to be scarce, and the prospect fur
new counties increases, we would respect
fully suggest to our legislators ihe name of
the lamented Prince. As a worthy and
noble Georgian, the State would derive
honor from hu name.

sor Holloway. Sir: A son of mine. 16 year* of age,
was afflicted with ulcers on hi* limbs and body for
more than three years. Irom which small pieces i.f
bone had been removed from time to time. I appli

Pills, w hich made a complete cure. Several monin*

The best evidence that can be adduced in favor of
the effic--ci-'U*ness o 1 H mfla- H’« German Bitters,
prepar <1 by Dr. C M Jackson is the unprecedent
demand for them from at! parts of the Unin*>; and al
though there may he many compounds prepared and
represented as being worthy of a liberal patronage,
yet we feel coustrainert to remark, that the vast num
her of testimonial* with which the wor'hv doctor has
been honored, hy persons ol the highest character
and respectability, who found it necessary to have re
source to his preparation is testimony sufficiently
conclusive, lhat a more effectual remedv for the al

There is Pule or no doubt of the forma
tion of a party at the North, with a new
name, the principles and policy, however,
will he that of the old Whig party. Every
national democratic victory dissatisfies
enough Democrats who fail to get office
to make the Whig Party change their name
to catch them. The name is nothing with
the YVhig party—however much attached
to their principles and policy, they give up
their name with the same indifference that
a child changes its toys. We care hut lit
tle for the name our opponents may adopt
for the future, we shall be satisfied if they
will only declare their principles under
standing^. Nor do we care what may have
been the past policy or principles of a man.
If Dickinson is in affiliation with the Whigs
now, and warring on the oiganization of
the National Democratic Party, he is no
belter than Giddittgs or Greely in onr opin
ion. If Van Buren has forsaken his fana
tic notions and acts and lives up to the
Democratic tests applied at Baltimore in
1852, he is now on the right track. If there
is more rejoicing over one sinner’s repen
tance than over ninety and nine whoneed not
justification!; to what lower deep should not
that man be sunk who proves a traitor to
the true faith and leagues with the enemy
he has all his life despised.
‘Ton may break, you may ruin,4tc*
We are forcibly reminded of the lines of
the Poet, above refetred to, on seeing an old
fashioned Whig meeting in Savannah a
few days ago, for the purpose of nomina
ting a Whig ticket for City officers. Is it
possible, that nurseaboatd friends have not
heard of the “new Party’’ that was Resol~
] red into being, at the Capitol in this citv,
a week or ten days ago ! Certainly they
don't “lake the papers.” Strange, passing
: strange! Not hear :>f the " Union Rrpuhli«
; can" patty] Our Rip Van Winkle politi
cians of the City of Savannah must be
behind the times, or treating with undue
civility the nv-vementsof the wireworkers
at the Capital. We advise them to put
spur and give the rein, if they do not wish
to be distanced. By the by ; this “Union
Republican” party—is it “hard” or “soft?”
is it the "shell" of the old Whig party, or a
fungus? is it a “Conservative” or “Citizens”
affair ? The name is certainly familiar to
Democratic ears. Do our Whig friends
| intend to deprive us of the birth right of
I our party by filching from us ourgoud name?
, Spare that “unkindeet cut of all.”

Elections by tlie People.
Among the many important subjects that
■ will engage the attention of the present
Legislature, will be that of giving the elec
tions of State House officers and Judges of
i the Supreme Court to the People. It has
| heen the prevailing sentiment in Georgia
hitherto, that too many elections were al-
I ready held by the people, and lhat the Leg-
| islature would be more apt to make selec-
! lions of efficient and trustworthy officers,
than would the people, if the choice was re
ferred directly to them. This sentiment
has lost ground and supporters. The peo
ple have less temptation to do wrong, ate
more apt to select wise and efficient public
servants, and are less subject to the fickle
influences that too often decide the fate of
applicants for office. If a man is a favorite
of his party, and a popular recipient of the
confidence and honors of our Legislators,
how often has it happened that the opposing
pat ty centre upon a weak, or improper in
dividual and elect him to stations of respon
sibility, not f<>r the qualifications he cac
bring to the execution of duties imposed,
but for the very opposite. We ate tired,
heartily tired of seeing men elected to
office because they have no recommenda
tions, and no influence. We might refer to
the time a no money unnecessarily expen
ded in elections lhat could be just as well
decided at the polls—but the most untu
tored mind needs no exteuuation or further
explanation of this idea. It costs the State
of Georgia a large amount of money to elect
public officers, who might be elected with
out any expense to the State. We hope the
Legislature will give the elections of many
officers to the people now elected by lhat
body; and we should be greatly pleased to
see the Legislature confer on the speaker
and President, the power to elect Messen
gers and door-keepers. It cost the present
Legislature two or three thousand dolla'9
to fill till >se unimportant posts —a sum
equal to the salary of a Judge of the Su
preme Court one year.
A voice fi'oin the Free Soilers.
While the Whigs of the South are tra
ducing the Presi ent on account of an al-
ledged sympa'hy for Free Soiler9, the free
soilers themselves are (..‘enouncing him
with epithets as strong as language can
expres*. The Boston ' tlas tbe leading
Free Soil paper in the New England State,
speaks of the supporters o' President
Pierce as “now crawling at the feel of the
slavcocracy of the south, and professing a
willingness to be hewers of wood and drawers
of water for the task master of the south.
The task maste< of tbe South ! This
is a beautiful Etil“gium to come fro®
tbe hot bed of Free-soildom. is it not -
This is the man the Whig9 of Georgia tell
us, is leaaged with Free S kiers! Ch sharps
where is thy blush!
