Does the Badieal party want to bring itself In the publio estimation to a moral level with Turner? If not, we think they may as well di rect some of their subordinates to hold 'their horses, and cease their efforts to whitewash him at the general expense. The Hew York Tribune publishes an official letter—the sub stance of which we gave, not knowing its source —dated U. S. Marshal's Office, Ailim!*, July 19, 1869, and signed George' B. Chamberlain—in which the writer says: I wish yon to know that I have inst come in possession of valuable testimony, that will fully establish his (Turner’s) innocence, and prove to the world that the whole affair is a clear case of persecution, and an outrageous conspiracy to bring the Government into disrepute, exas perate the people against the present Adminis tration, -and to deprive Tomer of his position. From the beginning I have felt that Turner was an innocent man, and, consequently, have been incessantly at work, investigating the affair, in order to get at the troth. Now Chamberlain does not herein make a dis tinct allegation that the prosecution of Turner owed its origin to the Democratic whites of Georgia, but it is clearly inferable, because it is charged to a wish to bring the Government (ad ministration) into disrepute—a desire which would be naturally attributable to political oppo- nents alone. But no man knows better than Cham berlain that no Democrats—nobody of the op position party had anything to do with the pros ecution of Turner, or took any active part what ever to aecnre his conviction. Let him answer to his conscience, then, if he has any, how he dare to insinuate any snch charge. Again he writes before the re-opening of the examination, that he would clearly establish Tumor’s innocence and prove to the world a clear case of persecution and conspiracy. Why did he fail to do it? Why did he content himself with getting the prisoner off upon merely inade quate evidence to commit ? Why did he not at tempt at least to prove conspiracy and persecu tion ? He tried nothing of the kind, and he left the prisoner in a condition where, under the laws of Georgia, at least, he would probably have been committed to stand trial. Now, what is the meaning of this attempt to get up sympathy for Tomer? The charges against him were brought by United States officers—he was tried by a United States Com missioner, an appointee of the Treasury De partment—he was prosecuted by a United States District Attorney, and every material witness for the prosecution was a Radical— Where was there a chance for persecution or conspiracy ? No Democrat had anything to do with the matter. And when, if ever, the ad ministration brings Schnrman to justice for stealing and counterfeiting notes from the Treasury Department, and Tamer’s evidence in the case is submitted to the ordeal of sifting and cross examination, we may probably get of a series of years with the various _ _ mja Of course the land will be vastly better • more jjght about the manner in which he be- A. nAvt foero AmonmAnt ° Ifarthe next year’s experiment.

Chamberlain says: The examination closed yesterday, bnt, as the Commissioner is not to render his decision un til to-morrow, at 10 o'clock, a. u., we are in hopes to get the case reopened, for the purpose of introducing onr important evidence—evi- sin who will prepare two acres of land in the : dence, too, which is sure to acquit Turner, and | >im« way, and sow one acre with this and the I cthsr in some other kind of wheat—giving them I tint the Tappahannock makes more than the I.: - :.

Editort Tdtgraph: Your interesting descrip tion of that “brag acre” was read and re-read. The 4-horse Brinley and subsoil in the prepara tion were correct—but the application of-phos phate was wrong.' Nothing produces weed and fruit like nitrogenous rdannre—Peruvian guano for instance. (8ee Dickson, in Cultivator.) Then, again, yon state the cultivation was ‘‘not shallowly” done, but with a “subsoil lifter all the time." Why, my dear sir, is it possible that a gentle man of Gustin’s known practical sense, used a subsoil plow in the cultivation of that “brag acre,” running that lifter down among tho ten; der, fibrous roots, tearing, cutting arid-bruising those spongioles that feed Ihe stalk, bleeding it to death ? Has Mr. Gus tin ever read the Cul tivator, and noticed Dickson on the sweep— where it is written that after preparation and bedding, nothing bnt a sweep, running one inch deep, should be used ? Any other plow is de structive to the yield of cotton. I thank thee, Gustin, for that sockdologer, under somebody's fifth rib. • Boxes. None the less possible than certain, “Bones.” That is the way Mr. G. cultivates about every thing—not running the lifter through tender fibrous roots, cutting, bruising and so on; but running as near them as he can go and lifting and mellowing the soil so you will sink into it nearly ancle deep. As for Mr. Dickson’s shal low method and the Cultivator’s lore on that sub ject—Mr. G. is thoroughly conversant with, bnt don’t believe in them at all. In respect to Su perphosphates he holds that they contain the precise food for the cotton plant and are far better than Guano. Georgia—'The Resources of the State. Atlanta, Ga., July 20.—The State of Geor gia, comprising an area of 60,000 square miles, is divided into three great belts. For about one hundred miles from the sea-coast, on the south east, and from the Florida line, on the south, the country abounds in the best yellow- heart pine timber that can be found in the United States. Much of the land in this di vision is adapted to the culture of cotton and sugar-cane, The value of snch products is too well-known to need any comment here. The middle portion of the State embracing at least a third of the. whole area, is good for cot ton, corn, wheat, oats, rye, and allkinds of veg etables and fruits. There are numerous water courses, with as fine water power as can be fonnd anywhere in the United States. The upper portion of the State abounds not only in mineral wealth, very imperfectly devel oped, bnt in fertile valleys and productive hill sides, where as fine clover and other grasses may be produced as anywhere in the West, with the proper tillage and indnstry. The air of this re gion is salubrious and bracing, and the water cold and refreshing. This division also offers abundant facilities for manufacturing, not only on account of the excellent water-power, but be cause of the abundance of iron ore, and its con tiguity to the great railroad system of the North, West, and South-west. In short, there is scarce ly a country on the earth which combines in snch abundance and variety the resources of mineral, agricultural, manufacturing, and inter nal commercial wealth. To this section espe cially we invite the attention of the manufactur- er arid small farmer. The lands can now be purchased for one-fifth of what they will proba bly bring five yeare hence. Now is the time to invest, to emigrate, and build up a great and prosperous community. Bnt, promising as are the upper and central portions of of the State, their prospective value must fall short of that of the pine forests, espe cially when facilities for shipping lumber and other products peculiar to that region are af forded. Here tbe land is cheaper Gian in either of the other divisions, simply because few suc cessful efforts bgve been made by persons of adequate means to develop the boundless sources of wealth which it contains. The lands in this section, now so cheap, will, in less than twenty years, exceed by twenty-fold their present value. Had capitalists twenty years ago imagined that real estate on Manhattan, Long, Staten and other islands in the vicinity of New York would have reached its present value, what fortunes would they have made ! It was the same way in Southwestern Georgia, when whole lots of land could have been bought for $100 which cannot now be purchased for $10,000. It will be the case in less than twenty years in Southeastern Georgia. Now is the time for the organization of a company to buy up these lands, provide machinery for outting lip the timber, gathering and distilling the turpentine and producing rosin, pitch and tar. This whole region is traversed by broad streams and railroads. Savannah, Darien, Brunswick and St. Marys famish fine points for shipping at convenient intervals, and at the mouths of nvers down which timber may be floated in unmeasured abundance. Bruns wick has the finest harbor south of Norfolk, and is destined to become an important commercial port. The Air-Line Railroad from Macon to that point is now rapidly verging to completion, which will bring it in direct communication with all the great thoroughfares toward the West and Southwest, while its present railroad connection with the Savannah, Albany and Gulf Road brings it in connection with the coastwise roads to the North and far South. Besides this, a mere glance at the map will show that the extension of the Air-Lino Road via Macon to some of the great Pacific lines of railroad will shorten the distance from ocean to ocean at least five hundred miles. Now is the time for men who have only fifties and hundreds of thousands to become millionaires before they grow old, and lay the foundation for countless wealth for their families. Col. B. C. Cowart, of Atlanta, Ga., is the au thorized representative of the Bureau of Immi gration recently established by statute for the State of Georgia. Any one desiring more par ticular information in regard to the resources of that State and the advantages to capitalists and laborers may find him at the office of Mr. Boot, No. 3 Park Place, or communicate with the Com missioner, Col.

Tho President occupied rooms at Judge Dent’s residence. Col. Moorman, Conservative Republican from Mississippi, had an interview with the President yesterday in regard to political affairs in that State. The President was informed that the only desire of the Conservative Republicans was neutral ity on the part of the administration, in the pending elections. The President replied that he wiehed for the success of that party which would, in good faith, cany out the Reconstruction Acts; accept the Fif teenth Amendment; and give protection to life and property in Mississippi. He wanted to know whether the former enemies of the Government were acting in good faith in their present profes sions of loyalty, and said this would soon be ascer tained, in part, by the action of the Conservative Republicans in Virginia. If they were acting in good faith, he should be glad to have the influence and intelligence of that State, and of the South genenlly, in support of his administration. The Preeident inquired of Col. Moorman at what time the Conservative Republicans would nominate ? and vfaen informed that it would probably be about the first of September, he said he would see what kind ef a ticket they wonld put in the field, and that lie action would be influenced, more or less, by subsequent events and the course of affairs in the Sontb. He added, that he desired to see the payment of the public debt secured and the integrity arid honor of the nation rendered inviolate; and when this was accomplished ho would be satisfied. A Strange Accumulation. Thomas Dick puts thp hoarding of wealth in this striking way ; Suppose a man conld lay up a stock of clothes and provisions sufficient to last him for three hundred years what would it avail him, since he can live at most bnt from seventy to one hun dred years ? Suppose he had laid up in a Btore house 70,000 pair of shoes, to what end would it serve if he could make nse during I113 whole life, only the'one hundredth part of them ? He would be in the same condition as a man who had a hundred dishes before him at dinner, bnt could only take one; or of a person,who had a hundred mansions purchased for hi? residence, but who could only occupy one. How ridiculous it would app«»r if all that conld be said of a man while h* Rved was simply this-rthat his whole lifo rfas occupied in collecting and laying up in a store house 60,000 mahogany chairs which were never intended to be used for the furniture of apartments, or 80,000 pair of trowsers which were never intended to be worn? And where is the difference in point of rationality and utility between such absurd practices, and hoarding thousands of guineas and bank notes which are never brought out for the benefit of mankind ? There is no conduct connected with the pursuits of human beings that appears more absurd and wicked than such practices (however common,) if examined by the dictates'of reason and the word of God. Foreign News. London, July 30.—The ministry stated in the House of Commons that the present relations be tween England and Mexico prevented the Govern ment from officially aiding holders of Mexican bonds in prosecuting their claims. Livebpool, Jnlv 30.—Tho Cotton Supply Asso ciation has adopted a resolution, looking to a speedy development of railways in India, in order to facilitate the exportation of cotton from that country. This course is taken in consequence of the insufficiency of the supply from the United States. The stock of American cotton is not large enough to keep the mills of Lancashire fully en gaged.

The Floods—Replanting with Corn—A Despe rate Expedient—Cotton on the Brazos—Jfo Worm Yet—Indian Depredations—Coast Still Healthy—All Quiet. Richmond, Texas, July 25, 1869.' The telegraph has kept you advised no doubt of the desolating flood that swept with such irresistible force and damaging results over the Valley of the Colorado, not long since. It was a fearful calamity to whose who were in its path. A flood so unusual, at this season, can hardly fail to affect, injuriously, the health of the country within its influence. This will benefit druggists and doctors, and as a common sequence, dealers in burial cases. Some of those whose crops were destroyed, are planting corn over, with the hope of making a little bread. Bnt late com in this country, whenever tried heretofore, has resulted in fail ure, even for roasting-ears, on account of the bud worm. After the great overflow of 1833, which deluged this country, about the same time of the year, one gentleman with ten or a dozen hands, cultivated forty acres of oora, but he had to “worm” it as they do tobacco, where this much used and much abused weed is cul tivated. We have had fifteen or twenty days of dry weather, a rather unusual occurrence for this country for the last four or five years, and cot ton on the Brazos is beautifuL No worm yet, bnt this unwelcome, villainous visitor is the theme of mnch anxious conversation. A bale to the acre is certain to be realized, if the ene my only delays his onslaught late in the season. Indian depredations on our western frontiers are too common to excite surprise, or be men tioned. Mr. Lo is making a good thing of it, stampeding the caravans of merchants, who are pushing their enterprises in the direction of New Mexico. Mrs. Lo has a very gay time of it, reveling amid frills and flounces, surround ed with innumerable scalps to adorn her sylvan bower. The subject is too serious a one for pleasantry. The exposure of onr frontier to unchecked savage depredations is a crying shame—a living disgrace to the Government at Washington. Galveston and Houston still continue healthy, but are said to be as dull as grave yards. The Ocean House at the first named city is said to be one of the most agreeable spots in the coun try for spending the summer months pleasant ly, for those who have.the time and stamps for indulging in refreshing luxuries. Crime seems to be on the decrease. The last two or three weekly ntunbers of the Galveston papers, which I have seen, fail to mention any murders or horse stealing, or even hanging for indulging in the last mentioned pastime. So many have paid the penalty for practicing that industry, that their numbers ought now to be perceptibly diminished. , Fab Fois. Supreme Court* Thursday, July 29, 1869. CoL E. H.

Lesca responded by saying that the death of a dozen Spaniards was of no consequence; besides, he held none of Qnesada's men as prisoners, for as soon as they fell into his hands he had ordered them to be shot, and he should continue to pur sue this same course, When this answer was received by Quesada, he called the Spanish pris oners together and said: “Senors, I hold in my hand a death warrant issued against you, drawn up by your own chief, Lesca. The reading of it inspires me with horror;” so saying, he hand ed the paper to one of his aids, wno read it alond. Seeing that the prisoners were full of indignation at the sentiments contained in Les- ca’s note, Qutsada said to them : “Senors, Gen eral Quesada is not a General Lesca. I pardon yon alL You can leave when you will, and to effect a safe exit for you I will issue the neces sary passports. ” Whenthe General had finished speaking, the liberated Spaniards bnrst forth in shouts for Quesada and free Cuba. Only two of them asked the necessaiy protection papers to go to Havana, where they had families, and all the others immediately incorporated themselves with the liberating army. A Monsteb Battle Snake.—The Sumter Watchman learns from Mr. John G. White that a rattle snake was killed on his place, about six miles from Sumter, on Tuesday last, by a freed- man, measuring six and a half feet in length, and thirteen and a half inches around tho largest portion of the body. This deadly monster, when killed, had bnt eleven rattles and a but ton. A careful extension, in measurement, of the gradually decreasing size of the rattles, so as to bring them to a natural termination at the point of the button, showed that the eleven rat tles constituted only about one-third of the number that belonged to him. This wonld give him an age of about thirty-six years. It is known that these snakes frequently lose .their rattles, or portions of them. Mr. White in forms us that this snake had been twice seen on his premises within the past ten years. A leiteb from Long Branch, in reference to the appearance of President Grant, says; “So far the General does not look relaxed.— The Atlantic could not wash the stern sullenness out of his face, nor all the teamr in Christendom poll hi«n up to hilarity.

On the withdrawal of the Utter the object acted upon, by conduction or radia tion, parts with its hast, and resumes the tem perature of the surrounding medium. IPaji and the mammalia generally, however, possess the inherent property of generating and maintain ing the heat of their bodies at a fixed tempera ture,-with alight variations, without reference to the extremes of atmoapberio heat or cold. The temperature of the human body varies from 98 to 100 degrees; that of birds, from 100 to 110; of reptiles and fish, differs very little from that of the air or water they inhabit The Lapland er, surrounded by perpetual snow and toe, and the nude savage in equatorial regions, maintain the same degree of temperature, under precisely opposite conditions of the atmosphere. Should the temperature of the body at any time fall five or six degrees below ninety-eight, death is the inevitable consequence. It would be interest ing, then, to inquire what ia the sou roe of ani mal heat? Ordinary combustion consists in the chemical union of the oxygen of the air with the substance to be ignited. Born a pteoe of iron wire in pure oxygen gas, and its consumption is attended with the most brilliant scintillations. The combustion of wood or charcoal arises from the union of oxygen with ita carbon, resulting in ihe constant evolution of carbonic acid gas. The great German Chemist, Baron Lei big, de clared that the “mutual action between the ele ments of the food, and the oxygen conveyed by the circulation of the blood to every part of the body, is the source of animal heat. That is, that the animal organism is a fornance wherein the respiratory process famishes the oxygen, and the elements of the food the fuel, the union of which produces the heat that keeps the vital machinery in motion. Animal diet eonsits of three different classes of food; the sacchorine, the oleaginous, and the albuminous. The sac- chorine contains those farinaceous matters, gum, sugar, and starch, that are readily convertible into sugar; the oleaginous includes all oily and fatty matters; and the albuminous those vegeta ble and animal substances that are convertible into the organic tissues. The saccharine are compounds of hydrogen and carbon with a definite proportion of oxygen; just about enough to form water and carbonic acid. Now in the oleaginous substances, the proportion of carbon and hydrogin relatively to oxygen, is far greater than we find in saccharine matters; hydrogen being highly combustible, a large amount of heat, therefore, is generated in the process of this assimilation into the fatty and nervous tissues. The albominons matters being so abundantly supplied with those nitro genous elements that enter directly into the structure of nearly all the animal tissues, and the process of this assimilation is so direct and complete that there is comparatively very little evolution of heat. It is evident from the fore going explanation that of all articles of nutri tion oily and fatty matters are most valuable as heat producing agents. The process of diges tion of these substances commences in the stomach, but they are there only prepared by the action of the gastric fluids for their final di gestion by the duodenum or second stomach and absorption therefrom into the circulation. Now, in my former communication, it was stated that the chemical composition of alco hol is similar, though differing materially, from fatty matters, in having a much larger relative proportion of heat-producing elements. As the burning of these elements—carbon and hy drogen—is dependent mainly upon the liberal supply of oxygen through the lungs, the num ber of respirations must be greatly increased to meet the demand upon that organ. But what is the fact ? The number of respirations when the external temperature is high, while the body is engaged in moderate, or even severe ex ercise, is less frequent than in cold weather. Again, in summer, the amount of oxygen taken into the lungs at each inspiration is mnch less than in cold weather, on account of there being much less watery vapor inhaled under a low temperature. In the same volume of inspired air, therefore, in winter, there is a much larger proportion of oxygen. If the lungs fail to sup ply a due proportion of material for burning off an excess of hydrogen and carbon in the blood, the skin and liver, as co-laborers in the work of depuration, are called upon; they have their own duties to perform, in carrying off the waste of the tissues—consequently, the retention of more or less of these effete matters must result in functional derangement of one or more of the excretory organs. The Esquimaux Indian will consume, with much relish, an incredible amount of whale oil and tallow candles, and without any other as sistance, endure with impunity the most intense degree of cold. The excessive demand upon his blood for these heat-producing agents en ables him to enjoy them with the ntmost gusto, and digest them with the greatest facility. The dweller within the tropics feasts upon the lav ish production of fruits and vegetables, with which nature supplies him, in the most un bounded luxuriance. The enervating influence of excessive heat incapacitates him for exces sive physical labor; hence the Beneficent Crea tor furnishes at his very door those articles of nutrition best suited to his condition. And here I may remark that the sedentary, as well as the laboring population of our country, during the summer, would probably enjoy a greater ex emption from biliary disorders by eschewing snch quantities of “hog and hominy,” and sub sisting more upon fruits and vegetables. In protracted hot weather an apology is offered for the use of alcoholic stimulants, upon the plea that the loss of appetite requires the stomach to be waked up to a proper discharge of its duties. This, to a great degree, is a delusive fancy; for, where there is not actnal functional derangement of some organ, nature is the best monitor. The hard-working laborer burns off the excess of carbonaceous matter in his blood by the increased functional activity of his di gestive organs, and he rarely complains of a disrelish for his meals. It is the man of seden tary habits who is the subject of tardy diges tion. Nature usually indicates the amount of food required to supply the waste of the tissues. A state of physioal inactivity is attended with a comparatively small degree of disintegration of muscular and nervous matter; hence the de mand for highly nutritions articles of diet is proportionally lessened. If, therefore, by al coholic potations the stomach is Btimniated to receive more food than it can comfortably di gest, and convert into the animal tissue, the excess either remains in the stomach or diges tive canal for putrid fermentation, the fruitful source of colic and other ailments, or if digest ed, it is thrown upon the organs of excretion for their elimination. Hence the habitual toper is so often the victim of flatulent distension of the stomach, acid eructations and bilions diarrhoea. “The Englishman in Jamaica sees with re gret the disappearance of his appetite, previ ously a source of frequently recurring enjoy ment, and he succeeds by the nse of Cayenne pepper and the most powerful stimulants in en abling himself to'take as'much food as he was accustomed to at home, but the whole of the carbon thus introduced into the system is not consumed; the temperature of the air is too high, and as the oppressive heat does not allow him to increase the number of respirations by ac tive exercise, and thus to proportion the waste to the amount of food taken, disease of some kind must necessarily ensue.” (Leibeg’s Or ganic Chemistry.)

Syatekvillb, Ga., July 28, 1869. Editors Telegraph : Having noticed the re ports from the different counties of the State, in regard to the condition of crop*, and the opinions with reference to the effeotof fertil izers, as published in yonr valuable Weekly, I have concluded, with your permission, through the same channel, to submit, for the informa tion of others, a- report from the oounty of Echols. ' • ht.zy.elT This is one of the last counties made by the Legislature; and notwithstanding • large por tion of it is cut up with cypress ponds, hays and sloughs, which render it unfit for cultiva tion, there is nevertheless the best long cotton lands lying upon its riven to be fonnd ia the State; and these land* are now being rapidly settled up by emigrants from Middle Georgia and South Carolina. The Suwanee river runs across the eastern corner of the county, and the Suwanoochee. the left prong of that river, and Tom’a creek alt in tersect with the main channel near the Florida line. Bordering upon these streams are lands now in cultivation that will produce annually one thousand pounds of long cotton per acre, or twenty bushels of oora, and these lands can be purchased for a trifle. There are other advantages in connection with these—the flat lands lying around which will forever afford good range for cattle and hogs. The streams, also, are full of fish, and the woods abound with game. There is likewise every fa cility for transportation, as the Florida branch of the Atlantic and Gulf Railroad runs within fifteen miles of that section. Emigrants who settle in that region will not be required to in vest largely in fertilizers before the lands can be made to produce. Proper cultivation is all that is required to reap in harvest time a rich reward for the husbandmen. I visited last May the plantation of H. L. Webster, lying upon the Allapaha river, about two miles above Statenville, and he showed me a field of oats, containing 'about thirty aares, that would average in height about five feet. We gathered some of the tallest stalks, and they measured six feet and four inches in length. I coanted the grains upon one head, and it numbered three hundred and'four.. We also oounted fifty-six stalks that grew fram one grain, well filled and matured—the average yield was about twenty bushels per acre. He has the same field in com, and it is now tassel- ing—and, if no disaster comes upon it, it will yield at least fifteen bushels of com per acre. —besides a fine crop of peas. The field has been in cultivation about six years, and has never been stimulated with fertilizers. I have visited recently several of the princi pal plantations upon the river and I find the crops very fine—in fact, never better. A field of fifty acres belonging to Capt- F.' W. Staten, I think will average twenty bushels of 00m to the acre, with the prospect of a fine crop of peas. Wherever the lands have been well cultivated the crops are fine, and I will here state a fact that is not generally known in Middle Georgia. It is this : we never suffer much from drought in this section. If the rains do not fall regular ly the water is near the surface of the earth and it keeps the land moist. Besides, the lands are sandy and porous and the roots of vege tation readily penetrate downward to the mois ture and sustain the crop. That will account for the fine fields of com, potatoes and cotton in Southern Georgia while the plantera to the middle part of the State who cultivate the clay lands are groaning and complaining for the want of rain. There has been a greater quantity of rice planted this season than usual, and the prospect is very encouraging. Mr. E. J. W. Prescott has a field of uphmd rice that will make twenty- five bushels to the acre, and Mr. H. H. Coach man and Oapt. F. W. Staten have each a field of bottom land-in rice that will make thirty bnshels per acre. It is a matter of regret that the planters have turned their attention more to the cnltnre of cotton than cane. The estimated yield of sugar last season in this oounty is six^hundred thousand pounds. I do not think that more than half that amount will be made from the present crop. The freedmen and whites have generally worked well, and I have heard of no disturban ces from any source in the county between them, and I will here state another fact—the records of our courts will show that no man or person of any character has ever been tried for murder in this county. There have been bnt two cases of manslaughter since its organization. One was aboht the dose of the war and the other was last spring. In the first case the culprit effected his escape—in the second the murder was com mitted near the Florida line by a man who pur sued his victim aoross the line into Georgia. It is generally believed that he was justifiable, but no one knew any thing of the matter until the crime was committed and he had effected his escape. I have stated these facts.in order to let the world know that we have peace, and that the wish of the President, so far as Echols is con cerned, has been complied with and there exists no necessity, neither is there any excuse for congressional interference. If we are a free people all that we ask is to be let alone and we will endeavor to respect and obey the laws. The king of Israel, when the land of Pales tine had been overran and subjugated- by the Romans, though he was one of the humblest among his subjects directed that they should pay tribute to Caesar, and we will do the aame thing, as we should render unto Caesar the things that are his. Physicians are complaining that the country is distressingly healthy. I have resided in Southern Georgia ten years, and find the health of the people, as a general thing, to be better than it is higher up among the hills. The diseases are of a bilious character and not so fatal as they are in Middle Georgia. Floridians are moving to this section for health which is the best recommendation that can bS given npon that question. D. M. J.

The Wells and Walker Radicals are about effeoting a coalition in Virginia, which will re- - store the Radical control of the State and re lieve all party necessity for Congressional inter vention. On this subjeot a Washington tele gram to the New York Tribune says: “The late Wells party comprised fully two- thirds of the Republican party of the State.— The other third supported Mr. Walker for Gov-‘ „ ernor, and formed the balance of power between the Republicans proper and the Democrats, which secured the triumph of Walker. The Wells men now propose to reunite the party, and their leaders have already offered over tures to the Walker party, acquiescing in the result, and offering to turn in and support Gov ernor Walker, accepting his Richmond speech as the key-note of the policy of his administra tion. My informant says the broad doctrine of universal suffrage and universal amnesty, aa put forth and advocated by the Tribune, has Men accepted by the Republicans of Virginia, and henceforth the party will act in unity an that platform. The Wells and Walker Repub licans united, will prevent the Democrats from gaining control of the Legislature, and secure two. Republican United States Senators. Should the efforts for a reunion succeed, the Republi cans will be unanimous in a request to General Canby to withdraw the application of the test oath.” it i ■ f \v Fbou Pabis.—The Milk at Variate ja a isian production.
