A Rr«S Wheat Crop.
Eatonton, June 28, 1809.
IP.nfi Tdegraph: Let me give you an ac-
* of the best wheat crop I ever knew cut in
•Trna. In 1857 ( 5t be a year or so
^eror later, bat abont that time,)Wm. D.
JimUi 0 f this old county of Putnam, sowed
..jiilTfrnr acres of land in wheat on his planta-
about eight miles from Eatonton, on the
y ,i ^a road. I have freqt/ently heard wonder-
. _i to me, rather incredible accounts of
,i ,* c.vp i w> B month or two ago I inquired of
j;. Terrell himself, knowing, as all those well
j.-ciictcd with him do, that he never over-
iJzites a crop, though he sometimes falls be- ano -
fet the actual turn out.
E« replied in substance as follows : “Off
(.'tie twenty-five acres I measured six hundred
ui fifty bushels. John S. Reid got my crop
c :t that year. It rained a good deal; the
gnsber was in bad order, and I know I lost a
t-.jred bushels.” A hundred added to six
jf.y xottld moke seven hundred and fifty busli-
^s,or thirty bushels per acre on a field of
trentr-fire acres! There may have been many
ktt«r crops made in this State, but I never
btvit. .As to the assertion abont losing a
hundred bushels, if it came from an ordinary
bib it would be worth very little, for almost
(rayons contends that he loses a good deal in
tirtihing: bnt coming from Wm. D. Terrell it
a the literal truth. Even allowing that he lost
lathing, be actually measured up twenty-six
labels per acre on a field of twenty-five acres.
I forgot, during my conversation with Mr.
Tm. Terrell, to inquire of him whether he
Btnurcd that wheat crop ? bnt seeing his broth
er, Ur. E. Z. Terrell, fully as cool and reliable
H the other, I asked him, and he says that
‘iboot half of the field had a dressing of barn-
nrd manure, bnt the rest had no fertilizer at
iH." Let ns have accounts of the crops that
out beat this. H.
From I.aurons County—Crops—Corn
and Meat Question.
Laurens Hill, June 24, I860.
Eiiton Tdegraph : A trip, from Dyke’s Sta
tion on the Macon and Brunswick road to the
city of Micon, gave me an opportunity to look
At the crope for forty miles, and I gave them as
dose an elimination as railroad speed would
admit of, and I must say that both the corn and
cotton crops along the line of this road are very
isekmnd and small for the middle of June. I
nv no blooms on the cotton, bnt the plant looks
healthy and vigorous, and I have no doubt bnt
lilt it will grow off very rapidly under the
genial influence of a summer sun. Whether it
cm mike up for lost time, will depend entirely
upon the fall. If frost keeps off until very late,
t fall crop might be matured; on the other hand,
if *e have an early killing frost, the late crop
<f bolls will be lost.
I was informed that fertilizers have been ex
tensively used, and without any information I
would have known it any way. It speaks for it-
''city set on a hill,
Test or Fertilizers.
Editors Tdegraph:—You have just had a
ripple from “Deer Creek”—presume you will
not object to a roar from another Creek! Well
—“kt one come ic7io can / /”
By way of prelude, however, let me say—we
have devoured “book-farming” (theory part) in
old Monroe. Experiment and research have
been awakened by the exigencies of the times—
the area of cultivation lessened—more thorough
preparation and tillage—and the will “to do or
die” may be witnessed on nearly every hand.
Peering through this vista, may we not cherish
hope of approaching twilight of Southern weal?
Heaven grant it! But, to the point—result of
different fertilizers up to date,
One acre of gray land, thoroughly and deeply
broken Jan. 18th. March 24th—ran off four
and a half feet rows with a narrow twelve-
inch-long shovel—followed in same by
In
hH—like a “city set on a hill,” it cannot be bid.
Small as the cotton was where fertilisers were
used it was still much smaller where they were
not used. In some places the cotton was not
chopped out yet, and the grass appears to be
luxuriating finely, and enjoying the full benefit
of the fertilizers. Sambo and Coffee stop too of
ten to look at the cars. A few fields have very
promising crops and the cotton is large enough,
but they are exceptions. It is generally very
small, indeed, for tho time of year and quality
of tho land; the stand is very good; at least it
has that appearance from the cars.
Tho com looks healthy, except where it has
stood too long without work. In such places it
has rather a yellow appearance. But all of it has
a small stalk and cannot make a very heavy
crop according to ay judgment. There is less
com pJanfedthan cotton, and tho best lands are
planted in cotton. With this we close onr re
port of the crops on the river.
I see that yon and one of your correspondents
have been figuring out the difference between
raising meat or cotton to buy meat. Mncb as I
*«h to see the South independent I cannot but
tmnk there is more money in cotton for a regu
lar crop than anything else that can be planted
upon the land. It is a question of facts and fig-
urrs—three acres of average land will produce
. pounds of cotton, worth Si 25 at present
pnoes; the same will prodnoe 12 bushels of com
^racre, or3C bushels, worth S40—difference
•’ ’ *# favor of cotton. Perhaps you say the
pesuon is not stated fairly. I grant it. Now
us state tho question fairly: Can the same
Efflount of bacon be produced with 36 bushels
yeorn that can be bought with 500 pounds of
<otton ? I take the negative, and maintain that
•‘cinnot, and will try to demonstrate it by fig
ure!.
1 notice that bacon and cotton are generally
sime price; put both at 20c, or 10c, and of
the five hundred pounds of cotton would
wfire hundred pounds of bacon, and if thirty-
fit bushels of com will raise five hundred
Wads of bacon, it is an even race, and there
■■lo advantage either way, except in the luxury
uussge balls, spare ribs, etc. But I contend
'birty-six bushels of com cannot raise five
paired pounds of bacon. I never tried the ex-
jp-aent, but think it would take at least fifty
p-hels. It will take three hogs of our breed to
seven hundred and fifty pounds of pork,
pjch will befive hundred pounds when reduced
P bacon. These three hogs will require twenty
P'-aols of com each to raise and fatten them,

the bottom of this farrow—say six inches below
the common surface of the earth—put, at the
rates of 225 pounds per acre, Dickson’s Com
pound, viz: 160 pounds Peruvian Guano, 240
pounds of Bone Dust, and ICO pounds Gypsum.
In the first row I used this compound; in the
second row, tho same quantity of Patapsco Gu
ano. Upon these two rows were thrown beds.
In the case of the third and fourth rows, the
furrows were run off and doubled, as in the two
first, and bedded upon, withont any guano.
April 15th, opened No. 3, and put in the same
quantity of Patapsco Guano as in No. 2, along
with my cotton seed. -Planted No. 4 in the same
manner, without any manure. Nos. 1 and 2
were planted at the same time. In this manner
I planted the whole acre, with the “Moina” va
riety of cotton. No. 3 came up in about twelve
days—the other three or four days later—the
time of coming up of Nos. 1, 2 and 4 of no
perceptible difference. No. 3 grew off in ad
vance of the others until abont May 15th. At
this time, you could not discern any difference
in the size of the stalks. Each of these rows
embrace “good, bad and indifferent, soils.”
Where the soil is good—say, producing 1200
pounds of cotton per acre without manure—the
difference in the growth of the weed, between
guanoed and unmanured rows is very slight.
But there is thirty per cent, gain of fruit on the
the former over the latter. On poor and indif
ferent soils, the guanoed rows have, I should
think, 20 per cent, advantage in growth and 50
per cent, in fruit, as proven by numberless
countings and measurements. No. 3 has 15 per
cent of fruit more than No. 2. I can detect no
difference between Nos. 3 and 1.
Now for the cost of each: Dickson’s com
pound, as in No. 1—the ingredients of which
were bought directly of Merxyman &. Co., of
Baltimore—cost in round numbers, laid down at
Crawford station per ton sixty dollars. The Pa
tapsco cost $72.
At the same cost the Patapsco is preferable,
as it can be used in the drill with the seed, and
the plant derive all the snpport which may ac
crue from it. Whereas, if guanoes are bedded
upon in our broken hill country, it is a mooted
point whether or not the plant feeds upon more
than a tithe.
It is but fair to state, in this connection that
the ingredients of the above compound were
bong-it at special wholesale rates, but includes
one ijem of charges, which may be set down to
the s'^’ore of fraud. The Patapsco Guano—
bought of that reliable house, Lawton & Law-
ton, l;as been analyzed by that honest and pro
ficient chemist, Prof. Wiilet, of Mercer Univer
sity, nnd comes up to advertised standard. If
Lawton & Lawton will fetter the hands of “Mid
dle” manipulators—they may expect heavy soles
of this gnano another season.

Dawson, Ga., June 28, 1869.
Editors Telegraph : Thursday last I took
trip into Calhonn county, paid particular atten
tion to the crops along the route, and am pleas
ed to report them in as good condition and look
ing as well generally as I ever saw them at this
time of the year.
I attended the Masonic celebration at Morgan,
which was a complete success. About five hun
dred persons were present, the order being well
represented. Marched in procession from the
Court-house to the Methodist church,where Dr.
H. delivered a long and eloquent address; after
which all returned to the Court-house, in front
of which a long table had been erected, whioh
a wa3 literally covered with the best the country
affords. The citizens took a livedy interest and
saw that all guests and visitors shared in the
good things of the occasion. As for myself,
must admit that immediately after dinner I was
“ too full for utterance.”
_ Had the pleasure of meeting some of the pret
tiest and most agreeable young ladies in Cal
honn or any other county. Abont 2 o’clock p.
M. we adjourned to Jndge C.’s and danced till
5, when all went home well pleased with the
pleasures-of the day. T ;
The crops in Terrell, like those of Calhoun,
are in fine condition, and the prospects very
good for an abundance of cotton, com, peas, po
tatoes, sugar cane, rice, etc. Oats hare turned
out better than was at first expected. Ripe
water melons are coming in daily. There will
not be as many peaches and apples this year as
last, but they will be much larger. Gardens are
looking welL
All fertilizers U3ed are doing well, and all who
have used them are well pleased with the re
sults and think of using them much more exten
sively next year. The free*dmen are working
well and are becoming more steady and regular
in their habits. Rain comes wherever and when
ever needed. No one has cause to complain of
too little or too much. Planters seem to have
nothing to complain of except the high prices
of provisions, and they justly censure them
selves for that, and think, and hope it will not
be so many years longer. They seem delormined
to raise their own provisions and be indepen
dent to all the world.
Dawson is still improving and business is very
good for this time of tho year.

Farmer.
8 ‘ w ho was the leader of
Hampton's scoots in the late re-
, ‘ytoCabJ ed at ^ 48811 u 1481 Monday, on his
Tbe Corn and Cotton Question.
Editors Tdegraph : Some days ago I noticed
an article from “Grafton” taxing Mr. Clisby
with. incessantly urging planters to raise their
ownicom. Grafton thinks it won’t pay where
an ajare will bring only fifteen bushels of corn
against two hundred pounds of cotton. Now, I
am a small farmer, and at the beginning of the
year. I held the same prevalent idea; but I gave
tbe f-ntire subject attentive consideration, and
arrived at, I think, a mature conclusion.
I ^aid to myself, if I do not raise my own
corn I will have to buy both com and hay. I will
have this com and hay to haul a distance of ten
miles—perhaps at times when the absence of my
tearfis from my farm will be of incalculable in
jure- to me. I have got to borrow the money to
purchase the com, and pay interest at the rate
of 2£ per month and discount added. Perhaps
cotton may be down and I will be short.
If I raise my own com, I shall have no haul-
in*; from the* depot I shall have plenty of
fodder and shucks to feed on. I can raise and
harvest my acres of com and fodder for one-
third less labor and cost than I can tbe same
number of acres of cotton. I will have no in
terest to pay for the use of the money. My
com will be better com, and by being fed on
the ear, will go much further, because my mules
will eat part of the cob.
Now, while it is true that an acre of cotton
will bring fifty dollars, and one of com only sev
enteen dollars and fifty cents, I have got to con
sider whether that is the relative value to me.
I find it is not; and Grafton will find when he
goes to farming, after he has paid for hisforeign
com and hay, and the interest on the money,
and lost the use of his hands and mules in the
crop, when he could not afford to do it, and ex
pended one-third more labor on tbe same aver
age of cotton, together with the expense of pre
paring and getting it to market, especially, if
cotton is a “leetle” low, that he had better “raise
com enougli to do him.” Farmer.
The Chinese In Calllornln.
Governor Haight and the agricultural socie
ties of California will shortly display a superb
national ensign at the Capital, in Washington,
composed exclusively of the California silk, as
a striking and undeniable evidence that the new
staple is vigorously advancing. To aid it the
experience of Chinese cultivators is flowing to
California in the very nick of time. Within 14
days, no less than 12,000 immigrants from the
“Flowery Land,” have arrivedat San Francisco,
1,200 on one steamer and the rest in sailing ves
sels. We are gled to observe, too, that they
have been received cordially by the authorities
and people of California, who have only keen
disgusted by the persecutions inflicted upon
these self-denying, hard-working and inoffen
sive Orientals by the bigoted jealously of turbu
lent classes among the lower population. Apro
pos to this remark, immigration from Europe
is pouring in upon us, as it never did before.—

The State Road, the Superintendent
and the Finance Committee.
Atlanta, June 28th, 1869.
Editors Tdegraph : In view of the importance
of the State Road as a source of revenue, if well
managed, and otherwise as a burden supported
for the benefit of politicians, the concern of the
public and especially the taxpayers, is legiti
mately directed to that management; and the
complaints and enquiries made about it demand
the attention of the Superintendent.
It is said that the Road now, with double the
business it had during previous administrations,
yields CO per cent, less income. This immense
difference presents a just canse for complaints
and reasons for enquiries, devolving on the Su
perintendent tho necessity to satisfy them.
The Finance Committee ot the House of Rep
resentatives shonld have had this subject before
them, and the fact is, that a special committee
was appointed for this very work; but it seems
they have said nothing about it.
One of the Finance Committee, in a letter
published, says that in a private way he has ap
plied to the Superintendent for all the informa
tion on the subject, seemingly with the view of
considering tho advantage of putting the road
under tho control of a Board of Directors, elect
ed by the Legislature, or to lease it out to re
sponsible parties—for a term of years—disposed
to pay $40,000 a month, whichis sixty per cent,
over the present income. In response to those
data before the Superintendent, we have his
very business-like letter, stating that, as re-
quired by law, he will make his report “upon
the management of this great interest,” and he
expects to show to the satisfaction of all that it
has been so managed as to promote the interests
of the people, and especially the development of
the State resourcesand, as regards the leas
ing of the road, if that can be done for $40,000,
as stated, he recommends the proposition, and
the speedy closing of the contraot, with certain
provisions. . .
Every business man will recognize in the Su
perintendent’s letter the stamp of a business
mind. To expect him to proceed at any mo
ment to make a report of works of such magni
tude as the Western and Atlantic Railway’s is
to suppose the business of keeping accounts is
a mere bagatelle. Any one experienced in com
mercial affairs can appreciate tho importance of
yearly making a balance-sheet from which is
drawn deductions of the condition of an estab
lishment, and how reliable is any guess-work of
that kind made between the periods when it is
usual to make that infallible statement
As regards .putting tbe road under a board of
directors, and expect to get “three good, jndi-
cioE« business men elected by the legislators,”
instead of three influential politicians, it is os
probable to shoot three robins in January ; or
to expect to run the road in such a manner as
“to promote the interest of the whole commu
nity,” and not that of the party which may be
in power, is as possible as to catch dolphins in
the Chattahoochee.
Under the present circumstances it would be
a political blessing to the State of Georgia to
lease out the State Road for ten years; aye, for
twenty, to responsible men who will pay thirty
or forty thousand dollars per month,'guarantee
ing, beyond all peradventure to the State, a
faithful compliance of the contract and no back
ing ont; then the conditions of the Superinten
dent should be a sine qua non ; for otherwise,
who could conjecture what the impositions of
such a monopoly might result in on the people
by the raising of the tariff of freights on the
necessaries of life, and on the materials used in
rgriculture, mining and the arts.

A Singular History of a Watcli.
We were yesterday told tho following, which
we briefly repeat: “Three years ago, Col. R.
L. Mott had a gold watch and chain taken from
his residence. A short time after, the time
piece was fonnd among some other property
that had been captured from a negro. The
chain was Btill missing. Not many weeks
elapsed before the watch was stolen again. For
over two years no trace of itconld be discovered,
and all hopes of its recovery were abandoned.
Sheriff Ivey has in a quiet way, in which he bus
no superior, been looking for some jail birds
that escaped from their cages sometime ago.
Among them was a negro, Andrew Jonrdan, a
notorious thief, who appropriated jewelry and

summer.
We believe, at the time he escaped, he was
under sentence of several years’ confinement in
the penitentiary. Anyhow, it was found that

statement of edman SPANOLEE.
I have deemed it due to truth to prepare for
publication the following statement—at a time
when I hope the temper of tfy people will give
me a patient hearing—of my arrest, trial and
imprisonment, for alleged complicity in the plot
to assassinate the late President Lincoln. I have
suffered much, but I solemnly assert now, as I
alwas have since I was arraigned for trial at the
Washington Arsenal, that I am entirely innocent
of any fore or after knowledge of the crime
which John WilkesBooth committed—save what
I knew in common with everybody after it took
place. I farther solemnly assert that John
Wilkes Booth, or any other person never men
tioned to me any plot, or intimation of a plot,
for the abduction or assassination of Pres
ident Lincoln; that I did not know when
Booth leaped from the box to the stage of the
theatre, that he had shot Mr. Lincoln; and
that I did not, in any way, so help me God, as
sist in his escape'; and farther declare that I am
entirely innocent of any and all charges made
against me in that connection. I never knew
either Surratt, Payne, Atzerodt, Arnold or Har
old, or any of the so-called conspirators, nor did
I ever see any of them until they appeared in
custody. While imprisoned with Atzerodt,
Payne and Harold, and after their trial was over
I was allowed a few minutes' exercise in the
prison yard. I heard the three nnite in assert
ing Mrs. Surratt's entire innocence, and ac
knowledge their own guilt, confining the crime,
as they did, entirely to themselves, but implica
ting the witness, Weichman, in knowledge of
the original plot to abduct; and with furnish
ing information from the Commissary of Pris
oners’ Department where Weichman was a
clerk.
HIS ARREST AND BARBAROUS TREATMENT.
The statement then details the particulars of
his arrest, which occurred on the 15th of April,
1865. He continues:
I was allowed on the fourth day of my im
prisonment to walk the prison yard, but from
that evening I was closely confined and guarded
until the next Saturday at midnight, when I was
again taken to the office to see a detective, who
said: “Come, Spangler, I’ve some jewelry for
you.” He handcuffed me with my hands be
hind my back, and guarding me to a hack, I
was placed in it and driven to the Navy Yard,
where my legs were manacled and a pair of
Lillie handcuffs placed on my wrists. I wns
put in a boat and rowed to a monitor, where I
was taken on board and thrown in a small, dirty
room, between two water-closets and on to a bed
of filthy life-preservers and blankets, with two
soldiers guarding the door. I was kept there
for three days. I had beea thus confined three
days on the vessel, when Captain Munroo came
to me and said: “Spanghrl’ve something that
must be told, bnt you ruvst not be frightened.
We have orders from theSecretary of War, who
must be obeyed, to put a bag on your head.”—
Then two men came and tied up my head so se
curely that I conld not see daylight. I had
plenty of food, bnt coult not eat with my face
so muffled up. True, Here was a small hole in
the bag near my month, bnt I could not reach
that, as my bands were wedged down by the
iron. At last, two kinl-hearted soldiers took
compassion on me, nnd while one watched the
other fed me. On Satuiday night a man came
to me, and after drawing the bag so tight as to
nearly suffocate me, said to the guard, “Don’t
let him go to sleep, as we will carry him out to
hang him directly. ” I heard them go np on the
deck, when there was a great rattling of chains
and other noises; and while I was trying to im
agine what was going on, and what they intend
ed to do, I was dragged out by two men, who
both pulled me at times in opposite directions.
We however, reached a boat, in which I was
placed, and were rowed a short distance. I conld
not say then where we stojped, for my face was
htsaftraq4Aied np to the window frame by bis
thumbs for two hours. General Hill then or
dered him to be taken down, and be made to
carry a thirty-two pound ball, but as the hang-
still covered. After leaving the boat, I was
forced to walk some distance, with the heavy
irons still on my legs. I was then suddenly
stopped,and made to ascend three or four flights
of stair; and as I stood at the top waiting, some
one struck me a severe bbw on tho top of the
head which stunned and half threw me over,
when I was pushed into a small room, where I
remained in an unconscious condition for sev
eral hours. The next morning some one came
with bread and coffee.

lioeman, made a dash for him. Notwithstand-

TRIAL AND CONVICTION.
I remained here several days, suffering tor
ture from tho bag or padded hood over my face.
It was on Sunday when it was removed and I
was shaven. It was then replaced. Some hours
after General Hartrauft came and read to me
several charges, that I was engaged in a plot to
assassinate the President, and the day following
I was carried to amilitary court and still hooded
before all of its members. I remained bnt a
short time, when I was returned to my cell for
another day and night, and then again presented
in this court. Mr. Bidgham Assistant Judge
Advocate, read the charges against me, and
asked if I had any objection to the court and I
replied “No,”andmade my plea of “Notguilty.”
They then wished to know if I desired counsel,
and when I answered affirmatively General Hun
ter, the President of the Court, insisted that I
shonld not be allowed counsel. He was, how
ever. overruled, but it was several days before I
was permitted legal aid, the court, in the mean
time taking evidence with closed doors. On
every adjournment of the court, if only for an
hour I was returned to my cell and the closely
fitting hood placed over my head. This con-
tinned till Jane 10,18C5, when I was relieved
from the torture of the bag, bnt my hands and
limbs remained heavily manacled.
WHAT HE KNOWS OF MBS. SURRATT.
The first time I ever saw Mra. Surratt was in
the Carroll prison yard, on Capitol HilL I did
not see her again until we were taken into court
the first day at the arsenal. My cell was on the
same corridor with hers, and I had to pass it
every time I wa3 taken into court I frequently
looked into her cell, a small room about four
feet wide by seven feet long. The only things
in her cell were an old mat trass laid on the
bricks and an army blanket., I could see tbe
irons on her feet, as she was generally lying on
the maUrass, and was the last one brought into
court. She occupied a seat in court near the
prison door. The seat was twelve inches high,
and the chains between. the irons on her feet
were so short that she always had to be assisted
to her seat She was so rick at one time that
the court was compelled to adjourn.
BOUND FOB THE TOETUOAS.
On the 17th of July, about midnight, I was
conveyed to a steamboat, and arrived the next
day at Fortress Monroe, and was thenoe taken
to the gunboat Florida. The irons on my arms
were temporarily removed, but Captain Dntton,
in charge of the guard, ordered heavy Lillie
ing had deprived him of the use of thumbs, he
was unable to obey. The officers, however,
put two twenty-fonr pound balls in a knapsack,
and compelled him to cany them until the sack
gave way from the weight of the iron. He was
then tied np by the wrists, and gagged in the
month by the bayonet from 8 p. u. tUl the next
morning. He was then taken down and thrown
into the guard-house, but was so exhausted that
he had to be removed to the hospital. It was
decided to amputate three of his fingers, but
this was reconsidered. He lost, however, the
use of liis thumb and two fingers. This punish
ment was inflicted by Major McConnell, officer
of the day, and was carried out by Sergeant
Edward Donnelly.
Another poor prisoner, named Brown, was
once excused by the doctor from work, on the
plea of illness, bat the Provost Marshal insisted,
and finding him too ill and lacking strength,
made him carry a thirty-two ponnd balk He
staggered under the weight and was compelled,
from weakness, to put it down. He was then
taken to the wharf.and with his legs tied togeth
er and his hands tied behind him, a rope was
placed around him and he was thrown into the
water and then dragged ont. This was done
three or four times, he begging for mercy most
piteously. He was finally jerked ont of the wa
ter and then ordered to return to his ordinary
work. The poor wretch crept off apparently
thankful for any escape from such torment.
Captain Joseph Rittenhouse was officer of the
day,and his orders were carried out by Corporal
Spear.
Daring the latter part of last October I was
placed in irons and compelled to work, with an
armed sentinel over me. I did not know the
reason for this, I was unconscious of having
given offence and had conformed to every reg
ulation. I was then closely confined and al
lowed to communicate with no one . for four
months. The pretence for this, I afterwards
learned, sprang from an attempt of Dr. Mudd
to escape.
FATE OF COLONEL GRENFEL.
Colonel St. George Leger Grenfel, aged 65
years, was taken sick and went to the doctor to
get excused from work. The doctor declinedto
excuse him. He then applied to the provost
marshal, who said he could not excuse him if the
doctor couldn’t. Grenfel then tried to work and
failed. They then took him to the guard-house,
tied him up for half a day, and then took him to
the wharf, tied his hands behind him, tied his
legs together, and pnt a rope around his waist.
There were three officers, heavily armed, who
drove spectators from the wharf; I could see
and hear from my window. The Colonel asked
them if they were going to throw him into the
water, and they answered “Yes.” He then
jumped in, and because he could not sink, they
drew him out and tied about forty pounds of
iron to his legs, and threw him into the water
again, and then compelled him to go to work.
The officers who had him in hand were Lieuten
ant Robinson, Lieutenant Pike and Captain
George VV. Crab, assisted by Sergeant Michael
Gleason, and Assistant Military Storekeepei G.
T. Jackson, who tied the iron on his legs. Cap
tain Samuel Peebles tied np Grenfel for saying
that “he was capable of doing anything.” Col.
Grenfel was forced to scrub and do other menial
work, when he proved he was so ill as to have
refused to eat his rations for a week.
All of the officers hated Grenfel, on account
of a letter which appeared in a New York
paper, which they said Grenfel wrote, abont
tying up the prisoner Dunn—which letter was
truthful, as others and myself were witnesses to
the details it related. One very stormy night,
Grenfel, with four others escaped in a small
boat, and was evidently drowned near the fort
His escape was discovered but the storm was so
severe that it was deemed too dangerous to pur
sue them, although a steamer was at the wharf.
Grenfel frequently declared his intention of
running any risk to escape, rather than, to use
his own words, “to be tortured to death at the
fort.” These are only two or three instances
of the many acts of cruelty practiced at the fort.
During my imprisonment at Fort Jefferson,!
worked very hard at carpentering and wood or
namental work, making a great many fancy
boxes, etc., out of the peculiar wood found on
the adjacent islands; the greater portion of this
work was made for officers. By my industry in
that direction, I won some favor in their eyes.
I was released in March of the present year by
Executive clemency.

Political Changes Suggested.
Editors Telegraph: The signs of the times
indicate that the intelligent citizens of this Re-
publio incline to the conclusion that this Gov
ernment of ours, though admirable in theory,
works badly; that the machine, beautiful to
look at, is rapidly wearing out, and will shortly
go to pieces with a crash.
Some improvements may be suggested in har
mony with the requirements of railroads, tele
graphs and Armstrong guns, and it will be inter
esting to hear their merits discussed. Some of
them are as follows :
The University of Georgia.
From the Cutkbert Apinat.]
From the venerable Chancellor of this noble
institution, ot which every Georgian should feel
justly proud, we .learn many interesting par
ticulars relating to the University. Within the
past twelve months, three times as many stu
dents have been matriculated as ever joined the
College in the same length of time. Three
hundred and fifty young gentlemen representing
the best families at the South, are now in actual
attendance, and the number is constantly in
creasing.
In the matter of State pride and patronage,
our university is far in advance of any other at
the South. As a proof of this, in the Universi
ty of Virginia and General Lee's college com
bined, but seventy per cent, of the students are
from the Old Dominion ; while in the Georgia
University 92 per cent, of the young men are
gathered from the hills and valleys of onr glori
ous commonwealth. This is a most gratifying
exhibit, in view of the attempt of a Federal
satrap to crash this ancient seat of learning, and
the vandal outrages whioh left chapel, halls and
college buildings dismantled and sadly defaced.
The Faculty embraces nineteen learned and
distinguished professors, who are themselves la
borious students, and keep-fully abreast of all'
the modem improvements in the arts and sci-
Much of the instruction is imparted -through
lectures, which cover the fields of jurispru
dence,- agriculture, the natural sciences, polity
cal economy, etc. These are deeply interest
ing, and df great practical utility
Three libraries, viz: the University, (lately
enriched by the addition of the Gilmer collec
tion,) the Phikappa, and the Demosthenian,
embracing a multitude of rare standard works,
afford every facility for information to the in
quiring student The whole number of volumes
amounts to about twenty-five thousand dollars.
The new library building is commodious and
well arranged.
Elegant private residences have been erected
for the professors,and the grounds of the camp
us are beautifully kept
The apparatus selected in Europe is varied,
and complete in all the departments of science.
The lecture rooms of the professors of the
natural sciences are elegantly finished and fres
coed, the walls containing paintings of many sub
jects which are objects of inquiry and illustra
tion.
Bat the most remarkable feature of the Uni
versity, is its admirable system of discipline and
government. The old method of espionage
and punishments in vogue twenty-five years ago,
when we belonged to the college, together with
the pamphlet of rules and regulations, as rigid
as in the walls of a penitentiary, have all been
abolished and done away with.
In those days the hated tntor resided in each
college, and at all hours of the day and night in
vaded the privacy of the young men. If absent,
a mark and report was the result, and a refusal
to admit an officer was followed by the breaking
down of the door.
Hence these officials literally ran the guantlet
in making their nightly rounds, and were sub
jected to every indignity that the mad-cap youths
could devise.
Now, a gentle lady resides in each vast college
building, and her silent influence and feminine
tact are sufficient to keep in perfect order the
hundreds of young men who occupy the dormi
tories. These fair janitors nurse the students
when sick, and watch over their personal com
fort like their absent mothers.
They are venerated and respected and any
breach of etiquette or propriety would meet with
a prompt rebuke from the students themselves.
In short,'the young men are regarded and treat
ed as gentlemen, and true to their Southern ori
gin and instincts conduct themselves as such.
The chapel exercises once noisy and disorder
ly, are now conducted with solemnity, and in
perfect silence. Each. Sabbath witnesses the
entire body of students, a congregation them
selves, assembled in their spacious chapel,
where divine services are held by their venera
ted President.
The Sabbath school, bible class and weekly
prayer meeting, are all regularly maintained
also, and the college is a miniature State, inde
pendent in itself, and enjoying all the privil
eges, immunities and blessings incident to a
well regulated community.
Let us hope that this time honored seat of
learning, the almamater of hundreds of Geor
gia’s most distinguished sons, will continue its
onward march, until it becomes a beacon light
of science to the entire world.
1. Let suffrage be restricted to those whose
taxable property exceeds $3000.
2. Let the State Senate have one member for
each judicial circuit, and the House a delegate
for every 10,000 male inhabitants over the age
of twenty-one years.
3. Let Superior Court Judges be elected by
the attorneys of five years’ standing, of their
respective circuits.
4. Let the Circuit Judges elect the Supreme
Court.
5. Let the JudgeB of the Supreme Courts of
the various States select the Supreme Court of
the United States.
6. When the States are thus reorganized and
party lines broken and party ties sundered, let
there be a new constitution so moulded on the
model of the old, that it will meet the necessi
ties of this century. Let the sphere of the Gen
eral Government be clearly defined, and each
changes made as will prevent power from being
centralized. - • Early.

The New York Dry Goods Market
From the Independent, June, 24.]
The spring season is nearly over, and tbe re
vival that every one has been anticipatingin the
dry goods market has not been developed. It
will hardly come now and the excitement that
was expected will have to be left over until fall.
Until then nothing better than a dull and steady
market can be reasonably looked for. Prices
have a decidedly drooping tendency, bnt there
is no panic, nor any cause for one. The market
generally, for both cottons and woolens is vexy
sluggish.
A very few transactions in brown sheetings
and shirtings of an amount worth noting have
taken place from first hands. Though some of
the jobbers have reduced the prices of leading
makes of sheetings about half a cent a yard, the
market remains substantially as last week. In
bleached shirtings and sheetings there is very
little movement, and prices are withont quota
ble change. Printing cloths in the gray are in
active, but the stock In first hands is small, and
prices show no signs of giving away. Prints
are in moderate demand, and the new styles sell
readily at full prices; but the old patterns are
heavy and difficult of sale, except at a considera
ble concession of prices. Ginghams of the best
makes are in fair demand, and sell readily at the
top of the market.
Printed lawn and percales of good styles meet
with ready sale, as it is now the height of the
season for thin goods. But the old styles and
inferior grades are very slow of sale, even at re
duced prices. Rolled jaconets and cambrics are
in small demand, but prices remain withont es
sential change. Silesias are improving, Bales
are more lively, and the demand from the
clothiers is much better than it has been.—
Muslin de Lains are not in much demand at this
season of the year; but a few of the better
qualities, medium colors, find ready purchasers.
The rest of the market for domestic cottons is
without any special change. Prices do not vary
essentially from last week’s quotations.
Woolens of all kinds are exceptionally doll,
even for the season. Cassimeres and satinets
are without any marked change. There is very
little doing, and sales are confined mostly to the
finer grades of cassimeres, adapted to the sea
son, and suited to the city trade.
The transactions in foreign dry goods are
now confined almost wholly to seasonable fab
rics, adapted to the city retail trade; and for
goods of this description, particularly the richer
kinds of dress goods and the high-priced silks,
the demand is good, and prices most be satis
factory to the importers, who have not much
cause for satisfaction in the sale of goods of a
cheaper character.
Tbe New York Times.
There i3 quite a sharp contest going on for
Mr. Raymond’s successor in theNew York Times.
The principal stockholders in the concern are
George Jones, the publisher and business man
of the concern, who owns thirty shares; Mr.
Raymond’s estate, thirty-four shares; Jas. B.
Taylor, fourteen shares; E. B. Morgan, of Cay
uga , ten shares; A. B. Stoat, ten shares and two
other shares owned by other parties, making in
all one hundred shares. The shares are valued
at ten thousand dollars, making the concern
worth abont one million dollars. The different
interests are divided as to who will be Mr. Ray
mond’s successor. One interest favors Geo.
William Curtiss, another interest would like to
see Mr. Godkin, of the Nation, and another in
terest is pressing Mr. District Attorney Tracy,
of Brooklyn. How the matter will end it is im
possible to say. The Times is a prosperous
newspaper, and is paying large dividends.

the University of Georgia, at Athen% we team
that the Trustees of the University have au
thorized the faculty to admit, without payment
of tuition fees, meritorious young men of lim
ited means. They propose to increase the
number of beneficiaries to fifty Tfcese am now,
as such, in attendance at the Uaivenaity, under
appointment of the Faculty, .twenty-seven stu

Students thus appointed stand, in all respects
except expense, as others, enjoying equal priv
ileges and subjected to the same laws. As a re
muneration to the State, they will be expected
to engage in teaching in a public or a private
school in Georgia, for a term of years equal to
the time they may have enjoyed the advantages
of instruction at the University. Tbe temx of
the appointment expires at the dose of the
Collegiate year with those who fail to exhibit
due diligence, but those /ho give evidenoe of
capacityand industry will be permitted to-re

The applicant for an appointment should for
ward testimonials of good moral character, and
of capacity to profit by the instructions of the
University; statinghis age (whioh must be at
least sixteen) and residence, with a full report
of the subjects which have been studied by him.
It must also be shown that neither he nor Iris
parents are able, withont aid, to incur the ex

The Cotton Sltnation.
The New York Mercantile Journal of the 24th,
has the following: v>
The market at the close of our previous re
port presented the anomalous position of very
large sales, amounting on Tuesday and Wednes
day to nearly 12,000 bales, at advancing prices,
with scarcely any response from Liverpool to
this higher range of values. For the moment,
the foreign advices have but little inflence on
quotations here, and the market continue in the
hands of speculators. There are, however, in
dication of a slight reaction in consequence,
perhaps, of the desire of weak holders to realize,
on account of the tightness of the money mar
ket.
The reports from the South indicate that the
supplies of the better grades are now almost ex
hausted, and the receipts will in future be very
small until the beginning of the cotton year.—
The deficit thus for this season as compared with,
the last, amounts to 73,000 bales. The exports
are small and are mamly composed of lower,
unsuited to this market.
For future delivery the transactions are grow]
ing in importance, and there is a disposition tb
buy low middling at 25 cents for November de
livery. This is probably based on the presump
tive demand for our mills, and the ability the
planters now possess of holding their cotton for
better rates.
The accounts of the growing crop are favor
able bnt in Southern centres the Northern esti
mates are deemed to be exagerated. It is claimed
that even under the best auspioes, the result
will not be one-fifth in excess of that of the cur
rent year, and some doubt even whether 2,500,
000 can be brought to market, with the present
labor at the planters’ command.

Terrible Fight witb an Infuriate*!
Horse.
From the Eaton Rapid• {Mich.) Journal.)
Mr. George Hamlin, of this place, had a very
narrow escape from death on Sunday morning
last. It seems that the large black stallion owned
by Hamlin and Wellman, had become unruly on
Saturday afternoon,but, after a conflict with him,
Mr. Hamlin had considered him subdued. On
Sunday morning, however, while he was being
fed and taken care of, he watched an opportunity
and rushed at Mr. Hamlin, catching him by the
head with his mouth, and inflicting a severe bite,
tearing the scalp loose from the sknll, and rup
turing the temporal artery which runs over the
head. This so stunned Mr. Hamlin that he had
begun to fall, when the horse wonld no doubt
have pawed him to death; but at this critical
moment, when the horse was furious with rage,
the hoBtler ran into the stall and struck the beast
a heavy blow between the eyes with a hammer,
not, however, before he had again bitten Mr.
Hamlin several times on the arm and shoulder.
The blow given the horse, partially stunned him,
and enabled Mr. Hamlin to get out of his reach.
Mr. Wellman, hearing of the affair, undertook
to punish the horse, when the animal made for
him, and seized him by the waistband of his
jants, reared up with him, not letting go hia
. lold until attacked by men with clubs, and then
completely tearing the pants off .from Mr. Well
man. Again in the afternoon of Sunday last,
he got loose and out into the barnyard, when it
became necessary to actually choke him down
by the means of a slip-noose, before he would
permit any one to get within reach of him. Dar
ing the choking process, his frenzy was fearful
to witness, as he struggled to get hold of those
nearest him. No trouble has ever been had
with him before that we know of, except in the
case of the breaking of Mr. Montgomery’s leg,
this being the same horse.
Business of the Attnutie Cable.
The striking exhibit of the business on the
Atlantic Cable will attraot attention, specially
in consequenoe of the revelations it makes con
cerning the infinite advantage to business of
jndioions cheapness, that seems at first to ig
nore the question of profits. When the cable
was opened, £20 were charged for each message
of ten words, and under- that tariff an average
daily business of £503 was transacted. After
three months’ trial the rates were reduced pre
cisely one-half. The cable was still able to do
all the business that offered, and at the reduced
price the daily receipts rose to £577. After a
years’ trial another reduction of almost one-
half the original amount was make, and a mes
sage of ten words was transmitted for £5 5s.—
With charges thus only one-fonrth of what they
were at the ontset the daily receipts still rose,
now averaging £635. On the first of September
last the charges were reduced to £3 7s. Gd.;
abont one-aixth of the original tariff, and under
*bi« rate the reoeipts rose to an average of £150
more than at the price charged when the cable
began operations. Ten days ago the company
made one more reduction. For what, at the
ontset, they charged £20, they now cliaige £2.
At one-tenth ihe original rates the figures fully
warrant the prediction that their receipts and
profits will rise at least ten per cent above the
average of any previous year or month.
