Pluckt Girls. — v ederal troops hatfe been
arresting sundry citizens in the neighbor
hood of Cfoss Plains, Ala , of late, charging
them with having hung Luke and some
negroes. The Rome (Ga.) Daily gives the
following account of how two brave girls
backed out a couple of bayonets :
When they went to the residence of Maj.
Bailey, in Cross Plains, to effect his arrest,
it being night, two of his sisters, bearing
their approach, hastily arose, and arming
themselves with a pistol each, met the sol
diers at the door, and demanded their busi
ness at their house at that hour of the
night. They were informed that they came
to arrest Major Bailey The courageous
sisters notified them that their brother had
been guilty of no crime subjecting h tn, to
arrest by soldiers, and at night, and before
they could take him they would have to
take the contents of the pistols, which they
exhibited, but that he would go down to
Pancona the next morning and surrender
himself. The soldiers declined the engage
ment with these true and noble hearted
women, and returned to their quarters
Major Bailey surrendered himself the next
morning, and is now a prisoner.

Emigration to the Southern States.—
Colonel Blanton Duncan has recently writ
ten a letter to Governor J. W. Stevenson,
of Kentucky, in reference to inviting emi
gration to the Southern States. Colonel
Duncan, who is now in the England as the
chairman of the committee, appointed to
present the advantages of the S>uth to
capitalists, says that the legislatures have
not provided sufficient means to promote the
transportation of foreign laborers to this
country, and to furnish them with employ
ment immediately on their arrival. 110
also says that the plan adopted by the
Brit sh Government to secure emigration to
its own colonies, offers greater inducements
than these presented by the Southern
State!. The organizations now at Work in
England for the colonies, send all kinds of
emigrants fice and provide for them tern
poraiy shelter and sustenance until situa
tions can be obtained. At any time within
a month after arrival a free passage is given
on any of the railroads to such points as the
emigrants desire to locate on. To secure
tull protection to females, all single women
are placed under the charge ot a matron,
both on the voyage and after their arrival.
The emigrant**; except those who go out as
domestics, sign an engagement to reimonrse
the passage m >ney, SSO, to the Governin' nt
within two years. On the repayment of
this sum, the emigrant receives 40 acres
for each grown person, ami 30 acres fir
each child between one and twelve years of
age. Those who eh'ose to pay S2O in ad
vance. sign an agreement to return SOO in
a year’s time and receive the same allot
ments of land. Government also assures
emigrants of speedy employment in vari
ous callings, mechanics and skilled laborers
at wages of $2 to $3 a day in gold ; shep
herds $125 to S2OO a year, with rations ;
grooms S2OO to $250 ; farm servants $125
to $150; servant maids from SIOO to S2OO.
The weekly rations are 8 pounds of flour,
12 pounds of beef, 2 pounds of sugar, and
a quarter <>f a pound of tea for a man and
his wife, and half the above to a single
person. Col. Duncan advises that the
Legislature of Kentucky should adopt a
similar plan.— Ex.
Going Home with their Cotton. —Some
of our c untry friends are disgusted at the
price of this week, and returned
home with their wagons loaded with the
staple.— Griffin Middle Georgian.
The Macon Telegraph copies the above,
and accompanies it with the following ap
propriate remarks :
That is not surprising, inasmuch as the
present price of cotton leaves the planter
nothing hut a loss to show for his labor.
Let us see: The hire of a hand at $lO per
month and provisions can hardly beset down
at less than SIBO. The wear and tear of a
mule, his harness and subsistence will be
low at SIOO more, and we shall be under
the mark in cost of ploughs and plantation
utensils at $lO -arid all this will foot $290
for the year. Now, four bales of cotton,
500 pounds to the hand, is a good average'
product in Georgia, and these at thirteen
cents will foot up $240 and leave the plant
er minus SSO, and the wear and tear of his
place and interest on investment. We say
nothing about guano, because we have
taken an old schedule product. We have
no doubt the cotton crop of 1870 involves a
very heavy money loss to the planter, in
dependent of wear and tear and interest on
investment. No wonder they are all dis
satisfied
’Cotton planting (as mere cotton planting)
may now he considered as a defunct busi
ness It must be combined with farm
products—meat, corn, forage, small grains,
stock, etc., and cotton at the fag end of all
—to represent, in its totality, the profits of
the farm. It is true cotton will probably
react next spring, in season to delude some
planters predestinated to destruction and
misery i> to still further attempts to toddle
on in the old fashion on Western corn and
nif>at. But they will soon be wound up so
effectually that they can go no farther.
The man who means to keep out of the
sheriff will hereafter farm it, and make
ample arrangements to subsist himself,
family, hands and stock upon the products
of bis soil. Corn will pay him well at
$1.50 per bushel. Bacon is a splendid Crop
at twenty cents a pound, and these being
the price of both, when we do not raise
them, are worth that, to us when we do.
Justice To the Wef.s.— Those whose
love for the weed is discouraged by the
terrible warnings uttered against ifa age
because of its effects upon the constitution,
may now take hope. At a late meeting cf
the British Medical Association at New
castle, a paper was read by Dr. John Mur
ray showing that the use ol tobacco is really
beneficial and a curative o( more tnan one
disease. He stated that an habitual smoker,
seldom or never died of consuption, and
that the progress of that disease is fre
quently arrested by taking snuff. The
latter, he maintained, is not only of great
use in curing catarrh, but is an admirable
expedient for preventing it. In cases of
bronchitis, liberal pinches of snuff are
strongly recommended—a remedy which
doctors themselves use when recovering
from a common cold to hasten their restora
tion. Tobacco is probably not beneficial to
some people, but that it is the dem *n the
anti-tobacco men try to make it out, is pure
nonsense. The Germans, aho are the
greatest smoking people in the world,
would not be the robs-t people they are if
smoking was as deleterious as represented.
Louisville has one ot ‘them tellers,’ call
ed a base ball player, who runs the bases
s » rudidly that nothing is seen or heard of
him after the ball is struck until he yells
‘score' at the home base. The papers say
that ars the umpires could not decide
whether he went around or not, it was
neecssary to provide him with a red scarf.
Now as he flies from ba=e to base,
can be discerned save a red streak, which?
as he turns each base, forms a part, and
at last the wh< le of a beautiful red circle.

An unfortunate deacon recently created
a good deal of merriment in a church at
St. Joseph, Missouri, while engaged in
taking up the contributions. He had suf

in his anxiety to secure a ten cent stamp
that had fallen. lie made a dive for
a small white object cm the carpet, but had
do sooner placed it on the tip of his nasal
organ than the young ladies began to thrust
their handkerchiefs into their mouths and
titter. The cause of a sudden outburst of
good spirits was not discovered by him un
til he entered the vestry-room, and saw that
he had replaced the plaster with a eotton
spool label containing the following sugges

In a small city, not far distant from tho
“Hub,” resided a dentist named Brown.
He received an order from his beloved pas
tor for a set of false teeth. The work was
executed promptly, and the pet shepherd of
his flock called in at the appointed time to
receive them. Brown fixed them in his
reverend customer’s mouth, when the latter,
stepping to the glass to see the effect, said
slowly and distinctly :•
“Jesus Christ I Jesus Christ 1”
Now Brown is more noted for bis quick
ness of temper and profanity than for his
piety; and hearing his customer speak in
such a manner, his ire was quickly ar u-ed.
“Blast it!” he exclaimed, “if y* u don’t
like the teeth yon need not take them, but
there is no necessity of your swearing
about it.”
The astonished minister drew back.
“My dear sir,” he said, “1 was not
swearing about the teeth, but for ten years
f have not been able to pronounce my be
loved Saviour’s name distinctly > i was only
trying your teeth
Brown was satisfied with the explanation,

and they parted on the most amiablo terms.
