AVe are of the opiui n that the strongest “sentiment" in fa vor of Gov. Smith jm.t at this time is “drifting” from the A'i'tatn I'm,: I Hu tton, and the “sentiment” shrinks mightily before it reaches the wire grass regions, where the people, in their ignorance of “journalistic eth ics," know not but what this “drift of sentiment” is pio.lueed similarly To the one in favor of the State Itoad lease. A lotli r voice fro n ’ tlie slander-mill —the Northern Methodist Chinch will be found in an addle-s by one Rev.

A member of the military commit tee savs that the house wi.l ,-oon a resolution calling upon the Presi dent for information as to the n asous which make it necessary in times of profound peace to keep troops sta tioned throughout certain states of the South, and, in the event of the President's reply not containing any satisfactory n eon further than is now publicly known, the house will add an amendment to the appropria tion bill providing that no portion of the money nppropi iat; and for the snp- [t!ie_ army shalljbe ) paid for maintaining troops in any of the Southerr.'jstates, except such as may he necessary to garrison a portion of the seacoast forts.

Now is (ho J is!i ■. Fanners oi Southwest (i■ or;. it. now is the time for you to decide how much you are to be affected by the relative prim s of provisions and cut ton next winter. We have noticed for the past four years when you were unable to get more than from seven to twelve cents per pound for your cotton you would grit your teeth and say naughty worths when you Lad ir hid in at these prices by your mer chants to pay for bacon at from eighteen to twenty cents p r pound. Then you would aver in this condi tion that you intended to make your own provisions and “let cotton go to the and 1 next year.” Still, mne-tonths of the farmers of this section continue to plant mere cotton than they can properly culti vate, but not enough to pay them out. at the end of the year. I'ou can’t hire labor and raise cotton at an aver age of nine cents, and have enough V • _ ' ' lijft to run your farm another year, and just so long as you try it, you will he in a tight, when your faxes are to he paid and have to buy bacon on credit at ruinous prices. Unless you raise an abundant supply of corn and provisions you will gradually lose your property and march rapidly down to poverty. Four more such years as the four last past, when cot ton has ranged at from seven to twelve and bacon at from eighteen to twenty cents per pound, will settle your es tates without an ex uitor.

Tile only method by which the ) country discovers that republican Senators ami Representatives svmem i ber the existence of that instrument we denominate “the C ■ .t it: ,i ion," is when every now and thou one ol them has an amendment to pi .•peso. i So many amendments will ultimately be tacked on to the original, if tbeii | wishes are complied with, as to rcii d t the wisdom and state..mn;.snip <7 j our forefathers practieu.’.y of i.oci- I feet, and to substitute theia for the partisanship and folly of tho :r!vo cat< iof tho “higher iaw.” if is re freshing at least to see Mho e who in . tile last ten years have so opened af fected to despise and ignore this o r, at political compact, exhibit a recollec tion of its ( xis fence, eve n if it is but to propose some change in its pro vision. Since an opportunity is thus afforded of drawing a parallel be tween the motives of political link ers and patriotic lawmakers a.u,l of making a comparison which cannot fail to be productive of good results. Tin latest Sort: in the direction of Constitution cobbling, is the r< solu tion offered by no less a peibouage than O. I*. Ai rt ui, which propose the aholishun nt of the electi rat col lege as now provi led for and the elec tion of l’lvsi,lent and Vice lYc--ideal directly by the pimple. Unlike 11 : -f measures propo e<l bv this individual, this has the merit ! brill;' snggixsleil by the most disiuter i listed motives. For surely no reason able in,-in e.iu doufet for an instant that if once the people yet an oppor tunity to speak directly mnl personal ly on thin subject, they will very ; non decide the claim of men like Morton i and delegate them to a life-lung re tirement. If the people are to choose aPi i ■ dent, then the country limy rest as ! sured that Mr. Morton’s further ca i ret r will he brief, in the direction of I the White J lon so, and the name may he said of nil others of his ilk. There fore do I affirm that this amendment was offered by the .Senator from pure' lv disinterested and patriotic motiv , a fact which will bo all the more sur prising since this is the first time in a long life that he has ever boon guilty of such an act, or given way to such motives. The resolution will, in all probabil ity, never get beyond the committee j room, since there is a w ry well found ed opinion that Morton’s qualitica ! tions for making a Constitution can bo expressed in the language of Charles Lamb, who, speaking ol Shenkspeare’s Works, said that “lie could have written them, if he had a mind to.” Several leading colored citizens of tlie District, of Columbia have present ed to the Senate, through Mr. Fre linglmysen, a petition, asking that, in view of the fact that the 14th of April next will he the aniversnry of the emancipation of slaves in the District of Columbia, and also of the uis-o i liatiou of Abraham Lincoln, and that the freedmen of the country have creeled a monument to the memory of President' Lincoln, in ’Lincoln Square, [be day mentioned lie made a holiday to all persons employed m the several denari meats of tho Govern-, in.'llt, in Washington. The petition was accompanied by ajoint resolution to this effect. If passed, as it will in all likelihood, it will be a sort of seqniturto tho res olute m recently pa.-. I. making AV.i'-liingt in’s birth day a legal holi day: by all means let us have as many holidays as possible. The fall of Belknap, an 1 the rum bling of tho thunders of the future in ve. : igatioiiH, seem to have reached 7'finistcr Washbiinie across the At lantic, as tin dispatcie-s tell us that ill a tit of virtuous indignation lie in structed his son, Gratiot Wasliburne, to r, i;;1 1 las po ol ,u in St. Ri'ters leu.gli, on account, of having “adver tis'd for performers for the American circus." Now, on • onu readily appre ciate the pang it will give a AVasli burne to resign an office, an t the special of tho ire of the paternal W. ■ something glorious and Brutus-like ill i:s character; yet, we fail to discov er tlie’euormity of the son’s offense. He merely advertised for performers lin the ling, and In is r< quisled to 1 resign bv liis iiuliguant parent, vvbih' S 'hem'k and oilier “perfornil !•:. in tbe ring” receive no such intimation. ’.! :i" -nine is true of all the “performers in the rings” in Washington. The more d.ililui they are in the political circus, i the more am their rorvkva appreci ated. Vide Wm. J. ALurtaeb, lores ample, the notorious editor of the Na tional Republican, who has been gnil tv of more sharp pructiees than any man in the District, except the B ’ss. and vet is is-confirmed by the Senate one of our Police Commissioners. Judge Taft, the new War Seerota ! rv, is a good ea y kind of a man, who j comes vithout experience from an ob ’ scare position in Cincinnati to take charge of a complicated machim ry, rernli red still more so. by the acts of i his predecessor.

It is proved to be an idle and. sensa tional tale gotten up as so many of those tilings arc for political effect, and which call be explained without difficulty. Of course the republicans will sock in OY-ry way to throw the committee off on important matters, that they may have more time to pre pare for the future difficulties which stare them in the face. i On Friday last the committee on patents ma lea report to the House, in which every woman in our country feels a vital awl per. onal interest. I refer to their refusal to farther extend the patent of the Wilson Hewing ma chine. Probably nothing done in the House will ultimately result in more positive end general benefit than the action of the commit teo ill this case. From 1m ing u.sijkil corporations, these machine companies, have become gi gantic and wealthy monopolies, which seem never satisfied with past enor moii ; gains, wrung from the hands of the few, yet must ever be reaching and grasping for more. It is a good , thing thing that their career has been | checked, and I doubt not that in the I course of a year or two machines can be bought for s2(l which are now : held at s7o, and their benefits thus be brought within the reach of the poor est and humblest families in the land. 11l MO.

The State, although nominally bound to inrni.-h schools for the cob;red population, had m ide very llttl 1 pro vision to that end. A h v colored schools were iiMUileiiied for three I montlis of each year, but tlio number of these was grossly inadequate, and in many cases the three montie; schooling dwindled into one. The present seliool commi ..-inner of Geor gia had of late been endeavoring to in crease the number and quality of the schools, but the p,in u'er pi ehidi a w w s.i much against the o tii.it it was found almost impossible) to effect any thing. White teachers could not lie i found for the work, and the colored men ’who were capable were excluded on the most frivolous pretexts. The ci>h >red graduate -of tln r At!ml a Uni versity, of which lie was President, wive rejected by the local school com mLssiom rs because they labored un der the disability of .being educated at an institution where the white and : black teachers sat down at the same table*. The, same spirit of ostracism and exclusion prevailed aim ist < very ; where. A white lady from Illinois, who came down as a teacher among : the blacks of Middle Georgia after the war, was driven from the hotel in - the town where she stopped, refused [admission to private hftitnes, and | forced to take up her residence in a ; negro cabin. Perhaps after all these years she might he allowed to stop at the hotel, hut the social hatred against her wool 1 fee an strong as ever. The speaker then alluded to the material condition of the negroes, which was the poorest compatible with existence. Wages were down to star vation rates, and were kept thereby combinations on the part of the plan ters and employers. ' In the proceed ings of a convention of Grangers, re corded in the Columbus Fnijnirr.r of January 5 last, it was stated in an ex ultant manner that the wages of men | had at last boon got down to $(0 per year, including rations, and those of a ■ woman to s2)l. In the busy cotton picking season men received twonty fi>. •• ruts per day, ami at ihe present time thou amis were working for ten and even six emits per day, with ra tions. In many localities tho farmers and planters had, either through neg ligence or intent to deft and, failed to pay tbe laborers this scanty pit tance, and tlio unfortunate blacks were nim ble to collect their hard-earned dues. 0:i some plantations there were hun dreds of men with no other food than raw turnips. Such was tho state of affairs along the railroad from Atlan ta to AAV.4 I’,cut, that 15,01)0 negroes had emigrated to tho Southwest with in.a few weeks past, and the most fer t He sections of (leorgia were becoming depleted ei lnbori rs. <)f late this con st till t oiutlow of the laboring popula tion bad somewhat, alarmed tile wild -; and they were now considering by what means they could prevent, tile col ored people from leaving the State. But it wa- not ni-rely cheating, liar rassing, and ovciTeaehiiig the jiegro that had operated to produce this c iiiiviuous emigration. The planters in two many cants ware (lisp; ised to re turn in all things to the old planta tion!!-. :hods, ai-.l in Bam:: of the es tate.; the old time practice of whip ping the field hands had been reviv ed.

A bush lof grapes will give from three to three arid a half gallons of juice, act i;r ling to ripeness. Bv a simple calculation, based upon the above facts, it can i easily be seen that grape culture is exi'i dingly protihdi’o. ‘six years old vines will yield three bushels of i grapes, which will mako ten gallons; ]of wine.
