Disturbing Rki.igious 'Worship.—
The Enquirer says “Squire Jenkins,
who lives some miles above Colum
bus, has a very fine melon “patch” on
a road leading to a negro church near
by, and somehow the melons have a
habit of disappearing in that direc
tion. Last Sunday night, while Un
church was in full blast, the “Squire’’
was lounging about the patch and ac
cidentally was accompanied by a shot
gun. A colored brother suddenly ap
peared and knelt down beside one of
the finest melons in tho patch, and the
shot gun accidentally went off. There
was a sputtering, yelling and kicking.
Darkey became quiet after awhile,
when he told his story, that religion
had greatly affected him; that as he
was passing that field the Lord had
called on him to pray in private, and
he climbed that fence so as to be bv
himself. He was praying and had no
thought of melon. He accounted for
the fact that it was pulled from the
vine bv the sudden jerk up the shot
gave him. H“ was allowed to go, but
lie can't sit down in a chair yet,”
< Ol NTItY cohkesi’ondenct:.
Peak Rkpobtkh. It is as true as
holy writ “that where a mail’s treas
ure is there will his heart be also,”
and as the most of our earthly troas
i urn is in the culture of the soil, hence
:in extreme drought or two much
| rain we become close observers of the
: ''signs of the times,” or the settled or
unsettled slate of the weather. For
the last two weeks the weather has
been cloudy, threatening rain, and yet
in many places a sufficiency has not
fallen for cane and potatoes the
corn and cotton crop having done its
i do.
Taken all ill nil, so far, the present
has proved to lie a remarkable year;
remarkable for tho great floods in
some countries, and tho great
drought in others cycloljes, wind
and hail storms have been frequent,
and many things have happened to
, lower the expectation of the planter,
and w hat wo can glean from the news
\ abroad, business seems to bo out of
joint generally.
AYhilc on this subject it may not be
! out of place to remark, that amid all
! the variety and diversity of opinion,
i now prevailing in this country, the
! main ground of difficulty seems to be
entirely overlooked, and that ground
of difficulty is the lack of confidence
of man in man, and that lack of con
fidence lias resulted from a lack of
I moral honesty. Men do not adhere
to those rigid principles and practi
: cos of common honesty, necessary to
j promote the commercial welfare of
any and every community. There arc
l two many tricks, dodges, deceitful
! and deceiving practices indulged.
| Men do not always speak tho truth
in candor in dealing with each other,
! and in the general haste to he rich,
j honor, honesty truth and candor
have been sacrificed until no one
( knows whom to trust. This ties up
i capital, it burdens labor, prevents im
f provemeuts, and of course makes
! “times hard.” Nations and people,
i like individuals, must be truthful and
honest if they would he really pros
perous. No other course will do, try
it who may. The last twelve or fif
teen years of our country’s history
has witnessed an amount of frauds,
1 peculations, defalcations, and down
right stealing by government officials,
! altogether unprecedented in our bis
j they, and scarcelvjequalled injthe histo
ry of any other civilized country,
j Dishonesty or iucoinpotency have al
most become the rule, rather than the
exception among public officials. The
facts are undeniable. And very few,
if any, are surprised, because confi
dence in men is gone. Those who re
member the defalcation of one Sam
Sumrtwood some forty years ago, and
the storm of indignation that raged
all over the country because ot it,
! arc well prepared to appreciate the
| difference in public feeling then and
j now. The indifference or compara
tive indifference of public feeling in
j regard to the management of public
affairs is one of the very worst signs
lof the times. Men have ceased to
quote and ceased to remember the
maxim of George Washington once
so familliar to all—“ Eternal vigilance
is the price of liberty.” Both in
church and State and tlie mass of the
people should seek to understand and
; labor to protect and defend the rights
! conceded to them. S.
SOME POTATOES.
A party of Atlanta gentlemen own
a potato farm of three hundred acres
near West Point, Ga., from which they
j expect to realize 40,000 bushels, AVe
j quote tho following from the Herald:
1 Now the question naturally arises,
what are they going lo do with so
many potatoes? They can find no
market near enough at hand to sell
: them in their natural state. Hence
arises the supposition that they may
be raising them to feed to stock. But
! even this is not the case.
| To raise a crop of forty thousand
i bushels of potatoes, on three hundred
J acres of land, costs comparatively but
J a mere trifie, say, about eight or ten
! cents per bushel. Potatoes, at any
time in the year, will command at least
fifty cents per bushel. From this it
| will be seen that it clear profit of from
I thirty to forty cents per bushel can
lie made on the potato alone in its
raw state. But when further consid
-1 oration of the question is had it ap
j pears that they can make over four
| hundred per cent profit above this
amount! The mere statement makes
|it appearant, when 't is known that
; they have erected a large distillery on
I the farm and propose to distill every
| bushel of the potatoes they can make,
lin addition to all they can purchase.
l ltis a paying investment. The whis
key distilled from potatoes is as good
as the best, and will command two
dollars per gallon, perhaps a little less.
In addition to the profit to be made
l on the potato in gro wing it, there is
: another enormous profit to be made
1 in the business, and of which the gen
| tlcmen in question propose to avail
I themselves. That is this: They have
'purchased a largo number of stock
hogs, which they will turn loose in a
I large pen contiguous to the distillery,
j and will feed them on slops and refuse
from the still, and thus fatten them,
i By this means of economy nothing
■ will be wasted, and even the refuse
j will be turned to advantage.
Georgia Crops.
(From tho Atlanta Constitution.)
T.n: August rep >rt of the st ite do
burtment of agriculture gives the fol
lowing Slate average" : corn, 86; cot
ton, 81, sugar cane, 87; sorghum, 07;
sweet potatoes, 80; field pons, 02;
ground pens, 97;rice, 88; poaches, 87;
grapes, DO, and corn forage, 80. To
give the averages of corn and cotton
more correctly commissioner Janes
has separated tho returns of upper
Georgia from those of the rest of the
state, with the following result:
North Georgia. --Corn, 102, cotton
90.
Middle and South Georgia Corn 77;
cotton 70.
This report includes tho first half
of the present month, and thus covers
the drouth period. The effects of
the dry and boated term arc plainly
told in tho averages of the territory
south of Atlanta. As this is the prin
cipal cotton growing section of the
state, it must lie admitted that the
July drougtß did reduce the cotton
crops about one-quarter. Upper
Georgia has been wonderfully favored
this season and the figures of the de
partment corroborate previous state
ments. In Fulton county, for exam
ple, all the crops are rated 100 in the
commissioner's report.
The latter part of tho report pre
' sents many interesting facts. The
commissi >ner concisely states the sub
stance of numerous replies received
from almost every county, as follows :
1. Only 20 per cent, of the farmers
! pay cash for what they buy.
2. Those who buy on a credit pay
an average of 41 per cent, per annum
interest on the cash prices.
it. The farmers of Georgia pay, in
: interest on supplies—nearly all of
which can ho raised on their farm
the sum of $1,250,000, which is more
than half of the bonded debt of Geor
gia, and is 14 pel' cent, of the value
of the entire cotton crop of the state.
4. 80 per cent, of those who raise
their supplies make a profit, while 75
per cent, of those who buy, lose.
To remedy this disastrous state' of
affairs the farmers, says Dr. Janes,
must cease to buy supplies that can
he raised on their farms.
They must cease to buy fertilizers,
except to supplement liome manures,
carefully husbanded under shelter.
They must reduce their planting
down to a cash basis.
They must demand such a tax upon
dogs and such protection from their
ravages as will enable them to raise
wool and mutton, and thus ultilize,
almost without labor, their at present
waste or useless lands.
AVe give tho concluding words of
the excellent report:
The price at which the growing crop
of cotton will sell, will not pay the
cost of production to those who have
purchased their supplies. Farmers
are, therefore, urged to commence at
once to provide against, the leaks
which arc sapping their financial 1 fe
blood, by sowing largely of grain, and
especially of the rust-proof oat, early
in the fail; by carefully husbanding all
tho manures on the farm, under shel
ter, for use iu composting fur the next
season's crops, and bv taking proper
steps towards increasing their facili
ties for rasing stock, and especially
sheep. Under the present system,six ;
aid a half millions of dollars, which
should go to swell the annual profits ■
of Georgia farmers, find their way
into the pockets of others, mostly i
beyond the limits of our state, in con
sequenco of the suicidal policy at
present pursued, of buying what
should be raised at home. AVill not
our farmers make their farms self-sus
taining—raise their supplies and pock
et these profits? Discard the old
habit of boasting the number of acees
planted, the number of plows run, or
the number of hales of cotton
made, and look well to the number
of dollars of clear profit.

(Hartford Commit.]
“Prince” Rivers, who is named as
being the head and front of tho threat
! ened insurrection in Georgia and
South Carolina, was before the war a
slave, owned by Mr. H. M. Stuarts
lof Banford, South Carolina. Ho was
! Mr. Stuart’s coachman, and was said
to be the finest looking negro at the
South. In 1802, Gen. Saxton sent
him north in charge of a clergyman,
who exhibited him in public meetings
!as a fair specimen of the plantation
negroes. After getting all the money
i they could, they returned to the
' south. Rivers purchased a lot of the
| abandoned property of tho govern
i raent, and went in as a planter. Not
! succeeding in this, he went into one
of the colored regiments. After the
war he turned up in ouo of the up
country parishes, where he was elected
to the Assembly. He there became
one of the ring of scalawags and car
pet-baggers, consisting of General
Scott, of Ohio, Whitteniore, of Mas
sachusetts, Dennis, of Connecticut,
Moses, Snail, DeLarge, Bowen, Whip
ple, and others of that sort. The
millitia was organized, and from a
subordinate official position Rivers
lias risen to the rank of major general.
He is a man of unbounded ambition
and much influence and it is though
that it will bo found that this spirit
of insurrection pervades other States.
The idea among the negroes that the
land is theirs, and that |tboir fathers
earned it by their labor, has been
preached to them for years, until they
have become imbued with that feel
ing to such an extent that a war of
races would not. he tho most surpris
ing occurrence of the dav.

"GUSH.”
A Sensible Protest From a North (ieor
glu Lady,
ti‘l Uorx Con dilution ; —AYe are often
told that “times cliango and men
change with them,” but sudden
changes are apt to shock us, if our
bodies and minds arc involved in-the
change.
I am not indiferent to tho desire
for reconcilliation and peace that
seems to bo springing up between the
lately opposing sections of these
United States. lam glad to see a
better state of feeling iu the north and
south, hut I am also sensible that
some of our folks are rushing over to
the other sido in rather unseemly
haste—pushing, as it were, the olive
branch into the hands of our late foes.
If wo understand ourselves and our
particular situation, it will, at least,
become us, to allow some decided ad
vances to bo made from the other
sido. There is a question of self re
spect iuvalved, as well as one of con
ciliation.
Two men from Georgia made
speeches in Poughkeepsie, N. Y., a
few days ago. They were allowed to
bo representative men from qur sec
tion of the state. They are reported
to have asserted, each and distinctly,
“that if the north and south had
known each other before tiie war,
as well as they do now, the war would
never occurred.” If those gentlemen
will analyze this assertion in their
calmer momeuts, they well might
perceive the gush that was so distaste
ful to some who read the speech. It
made me long for a little of Gen.
Toombs blunt honesty, and unfailing
devotion to the south. I wanted a
relief from that overwhelming does
of conciliation.
I trust history will allow ns a bel
ter season for our four years strife.
Ignorance was not the cause of the
war. The south was certainly ac
quainted with the other section.
If these gentlemen had been intro
duced to Gen. Sherman, Stoueman
A Cos. in the same way that some of
us were, they woujd not need abetter
acquaintance at present, and if we
have understood the “tender mercies”
of our stronghauded foes during the
long ten years, just past and gone, we
are not suffering for a more extended
intimacy with a large number of them
just now.
I do protest against such wholesale
committal, such extravagant' gush.
The war left us little but ouri self-res
pect; 1 beg our representat ve men
to hold it dearer than this ; wc cannot
afford to barter so cheaply. Perhaps
we are not so thoroughly reconstructed
as some of them appear to he, but our
feeling of shame on reading the
Poughkeepsie efforts would have been
partly reteived, if we had heard, that
a simple soul had said amen 1
AVe can evince a high sense of any
welcome granted to our sotliern men
without epnm.it ting them and us to
such effusive sentiments. Some of
our orators need toning down,. Give
ns less of such extraordiary, extrava
gant, fulsome conciliation.

Jsisurreetitm in Mississippi.
It would appear that the Radical
shakers of the “bloody shirt” have
been at work elsewhere than iu Geor
gia to produce conflicts between the
two races in the South, and thus fur
nish “circumstances” for the Grant and
Morton wing of the party. AA r e have
already referred to the riotous proceed
ings of negroes in East Florida. Now
we have an account of a conflict in
Mississippi, in which seveal negroes
were killed, as Ames would say, "for
the benefit of the Republican party.”
