THE TELEGRAPH.
MACON FED)AY, SEPTEMBER 3, ISGO.
Should the Negro Emigrate?
The following dispatch from Washington,
August 25th, we find in the Philadelphia Press:
Colored Mechanics.—Some weeks ago an
informal meeting of the colored mechanics of
this city was held, for the purpose of beginning
the organization of a National Colored Men’s
Trades Union. Committees were selected, and
letters sent all over the country, explaining the
object of the meeting, and asking co-operation.
To-day a person interested in the matter re
ceived a letter from the president of a colored
men’B trade union in Macon, Oa, saying that
they were fully organized, and willing to aid
their brethren here. The writer says the col
ored mechanics are weil organized for protec
tion throughout the State, but they find it im-
E 'ble to secure justice from the white popu-
1, and that a convention of colored me-
ohanios is called, to meet in Macon in October,
to devise means for emigration to the North
western States and Territories. A committee
has been appointed to visit the Northern cities,
for the purpose of securing some competent
persona to interest themselves in the matter,
and aid the colored people of Georgia to mi
grate West in colonies.
It would seem from the above that colored
men in Georgia contemplate removing North
and West to better their condition. We would
commend for the perusal of all such the letter
from “Nigger,” on our outside. It is written
by one who was born, raised, and educated in
Massachusetts. His experience in that portion
of the country substantiates what has always
been said—that the Northern people, unaccus
tomed to the negro, have not that consideration
for his weak points and his general welfare that
he people of the South have.
Since the emancipation of slaves, one difficulty
was that the Southern negroes allowed them
selves (very naturally, too,) to be taken in charge
by so-called philanthropists, and more especially
the Freedmen’s Bureau, established for their
special benefit The various processes of re
construction through which we have gone at the
bands of Congress, by which these people were
to be made voters, and the great need of the
Radicals that they should bo Republican voters,
nil tended to make it appear to the unlettered
negro that his interests and those of the whites
of the Sonth were diverse. He was made
to sing hymns glorifying the martyrs of the re
bellion, glorifying the Government, and espe
cially the Radical party, for the great boon of
freedom, and to render homage to all its repre
sentatives ; and as many donbtless have found
to their cost to pay tribute to the same. Now,
we say this was all very natural. Our whites
stood aloof and let it go- on. They could not
have prevented it had they tried.
Many grew indignant, and, for the time, did
cast out of their employment those blacks that
took counsel of strangers instead of themselves.
But that, too, had to come to an end. blatters
have settled down very much since. The ne
gro has come to be recognized with us as a voter
and part of the body politic. As a laborer he j
is all important to us. Our people have always !
seen it With but few exceptions onr white
proprietors of land have ever been willing to
pay liberal wages for good work. As an evi- j
dence, we know many plantations which are !
still worked, and have been since the close of i
the war, by the colored people whose home was
always there. That brings contentment. The
great study with colored people, mechanics as
well as domestics and field laborers, should be
Bom to perfect themselves in their sphere of
duty, so as to command high wages. They need
never expect to compete with white laborers in
the dense communities of the North.
Emigration from tho Sonth should never be
considered by them for a moment. Hero is’
their home; here is their interest. Whites and
blacks in the Sonth are benefitted or injured
alike by all policy of government. When they
leave off thoughts of everything but their own
interest as citizens of this section, and devote
themselves to their work, whatever it may be—
beoome careful, painstaking, energetic, indus
trious workers, employment is always to be had
and at remunerative prices.
More Misanthropy.
Onr friends of the Savannah Advertiser make
Tts Ray Twigg county would not make more than
a bale of cotton to twenty acres. We said some
fields in that county would not, and that the
tfxtflfy would avoroge a bale to six acres accord
ing to our informant They also say “the Tele
graph is the best misanthrope on the cotton
question they know of.” We are in the heart
of the ootton section of Georgia. We have per
haps the largest correspondence of any press in
the State among the cotton growers and the best
and most reliable facilities for obtaining infor
mation on the subject. Wo consider it highly
important that buyers and sellers should he ac
curately informed as to the prospects of the
great staple, and as both classes look to ns for
such information, we give them from timo to
time the best wo have. We desire big crops for
our planting friends, and high prices for their
benefit, and we also wish our friends of the pur
chasing class to make good profits, for when
all make money, everybody is oheerfnl and
Otitis connection we will state by way of cor
rection of our Northern editorial friends who are
just now publishing articles based upon the July
report to the Agricultural Bureau, that the great
staple was doing finely, that an intelligent plan
ter in Houston who estimated his crop in July at
300 bales, now thinks it will come down to 175
bales, giving as a reason that his cotton made
about nothing during the month of August—
He expects to get out his crop by October. He
thinks his is the general experience in that
eouuty.
Important Decision.—In the case of McLeod
vb. Callicott, treasnry agent, in South Carolina
Federal District Court, Chief Justice Chase,
presiding, held the following: “No treasnry
agent was justified in receiving, much less in
seizing, property in the Southern States after
June SOtb, 1865.” This will inure to the benefit
of many persons in onr dty, wo snpposo. We
only hope they will hunt down the last one of
the men who took their property and recover
their losses if they have anything ont of which
to make it We should suppose that where it
went into the Treasury of the United States, the
above ruling wonld entitle to the recovery from
the Government.

Editorial Correspondence.
Arrival at Rome—The City—Hospitality of the
People—Public Reception of the Excursion
Party.
Coosa Rites, August 27, I860.
Dear Telegraph :. This deponent is “float
ing down the river," bound for the Round
Mountain Iron Works, near the Cooea—sixty
miles by water from Rome, but not more than
thirty by land. It is five o’clock P. M., Friday.
Old Sol, who has been an old Scoroher through
out the day, is now sinking a little behind the
trees which skirt the river bank, and the stream
itself being on an average, twenty-five feet be
low the banks, we are getting to be nicely
shaded. A gentle breeze is also created by the
motion of the boat, so that, on the whole, it is
pleasant.
While I sit here enjoying myself, I will take
the reader back to where we left off in onr last.
We bade good bye to Chattanooga at seven
o’clock Thursday night, and a pleasant run,
mostly by moonlight, brought us to Rome at
two o’clock this morning. The people of Rome
received us with great hospitality. We took
breakfast at seven at the Choice House, and
were notified to consider ourselves the guests
of the dty. After breakfast, carriages were
provided by the Mayor, and the party were
shown around the city.
Rome is the finest site for a beautiful city I
have yet seen in Georgia, and she is growing
very rapidly. She numbers 6000 people, and
covers a large area. City property is in request
—numerous and large business edifices are
going up, and eligible business lots have risen
500 per cent, within a year or two. Seen from
any of the eminences which environ or adorn
the city, the river is exceedingly picturesque
and beautiful. The Oostanaula and Etowah
which, at their confluence at tho dty limits,
form the Coosa, embrace the city in their silve-
1 ry coil, and form this head of steamboat navi
gation, from which goods are transported, and
cotton brought from 187 miles down the river.
Most of the business portion of Rome lies upon
a plain, and is regulariy laid ont and adorned
with many fine buildings. That portion which
is the site of dwellings is higher and beautiful
ly undulating. Back of this, are the fine old bine,
misty mountains which lift their peaks to heav-
! en in serene and awfnl majesty. Myrtle Hill,
j the City Cemetery, is the highest point among
these eminences, and from a little plateau upon
the summit, say 150 feet above the level of the
plain, the whole dty and its environs lie before
you—a panorama of surpassing beauty.
The western banks of Etowah and Oostanaula
are “meadows green and pastures fair”—land
of exceeding fertility, but subject to occasional
overflow. The city crowns the eastern bank.
Broad street, an avenue of 200 feet wide, is the
thoroughfare of trade, and reminds one of Broad
street in Augnsta and Columbus.
At right angles with this fine avenue, the in
tersecting streets lead you to gentle eminences,
which will soon be covered with magnificent
residences, and are now the sites of many com
fortable dwellings. The summit of Myrtle ave
nue, where we are standing, will soon be adorned
with a lofty monument to the memory of the
Confederate dead, of Floyd county, erected of
native marble—a great mountain of which is
fonnd at a little distance. Such a column ris
ing toward the clouds from such an elevation,
will form a befitting monument to the illustri
ous heroes.
Myrtle Hill is quite an extensive cemetery—
laid off in terraces, walks and avenues, and
when graded, grassed and perfected according
to the original design, will be remarkably beau
tiful and picturesque.
From this embryo Mount Auburn, we drove
to the scenes of busy life—the foundry and
machine shops of the Messrs. Noble & Sons,
and Col. Stewart's flouring mills. The former
are a vast establishment, and a prosperous and
growing enterprise. Mr. Noble is a patriarch
of sixty, and has six grown and married sons,
interested with him in this establishment—who
apply their own hands to toil. I was introduced
to one of them, and he refused to extend a be-
grimmed dexter to me, but I did not tolerate
his scruples. If our enterprises, whether in
mechanics or agriculture are to prosper, their
projectors must lead the way. They must say
to the laborers “come”—not “go.”
In tho construction of a new foundry, the
Messrs. Noble had applied (to me) a now idea.
They had erected a steam boiler over every
fnmace—some five os six feet above the latter,
and the heated air and flame being conducted
from the furnace below, generated the motive
power of the establishment without any addi
tional expense of fnel.
Stewart's Mills also display all the latest im
provements in the manufacture of Flour. The
wheat is dumped into a receptacle under the
first floor—traverses the several stories of the
building and returns in the shape of flour and
bran to tho ground story. The flour drops
through a tunnel sufficiently large to distend the
sack, and a rotating contrivance ranch like an
artesian well or post-hole borer running in a re
verse direction, packs tho flour closely and
smoothly in the sack. Scales indicate the com
pletion of the tale of weight, and the sack is
then sewed up and is ready for market. This
mill produces only the best grades of flour and
uses first quality wheat alone. The brands bear
a high reputation.
Mr. Noble, of the Foundry, tells me that he
is far behind orders. In the single article of
car-wheels alone, he has orders for a thousand
ahead, and would consider himself stalled but
for the additions to his productive power which
will be made in a few days.
After a general survey and drive around the
city, the editors gathered in force at the Choice
House, where their formal welcome and intro
duction to tho people was appointed to take
place, and a capital dinner had keen spread by
mine host of that comfortable hospifium. The
tables were crowded and the large banquet hall
was thronged with the gentlemen of the city.
In a very brief address, Mayor Hargrove wel
comed the Governor, Col Hulbert and his guests
the press of Georgia—and tendered them the
hospitalities of the city. The Governor replied
in a short and appropriate speech, expressing
his gratification at the hospitable reception given
to the party, and his hops that the effect of this
excursion would be to divert the minds of the
press and the people, for a time, from tho bar
ren fields of politics, to the great material inter
ests of the State. This was the object of the
excursion, and it was an important, and he
trusted a fortunate, event in the history of this
young arid growing city that so many represent
atives of the press of Georgia were that day
present in intimate association with the people
—studying their conditions and prospects. It
was more particularly for the press that this lav
ish hospitality had been displayed, and it would
therefore devolve upon Col. Clisby, the Presi
dent of the Association, to make such response
as the occasion demanded.
Mr. Clisby's remarks were substantially as
follows:
Mr. Mayor and Fellow- Citizens of Rome—
The Press of Georgia are glad to be in your
beautiful -city. Many of us are here for the
first time, and few of us are familiar as we
shoald be with the felicities of your situation.
Through your kindness we have this morning
seen the treasures of beauty and wealth which
surround you, and we have all been impressed
with them. The elements of growth and pros
perity cluster around yon in singular and extra
ordinary combination. My venerable friend,
OoL Mark A. Cooper, in conversation with, me
! day before yesterday, remarked that be had
thoroughly investigated and’compared the min
eral resources of Georgia and Pennsylvania,
and he was certain that Georgia had five times
the mineral wealth of Pennsylvania.
Now, fellow-citizens, the choicest part of the
vast mineral wealth lies all around you, and it
indicates, as it were by the finger of God, your
path to national greatness. Here, on this beau
tiful plateau, crowned by its gentle eminences,
on which will cluster the abodes of wealth, re
finement and culture, yon will fonnd a second
Pittsburgh.
But this is, not all. The mineral wealth of
Pennsylvania is, for the most part, found in bar
ren regions which most draw their supplies of
bread from outside their boundaries. Your soil
teems with food. There is none richer in the
State, and none need bo more fertile.
But this is not alL To those treasures of min-
wlieels and is peculiarly tough and fibrous, while
it takes a chill better than any other. He has
shown by car wheels used on the State road, that
they will outlast those of ordinary iron 300 per
cent
The process of smelting iron ore is very
simple. The ore is first roasted over a pile of
fuel, to evaporate moisture, expel sulphur, etc.
It is then crushed into small pieces and put into
the furnace. A charge of this furnace was
about six hundred pounds of ore, with sixty
pounds of limestone flux, and twenty-four
bushels charcoaL These oharges were success
fully applied at short intervals for about six
hours. The furnace was perhaps twenty-five or
thirty feet high, and crowned with an iron
smoke stack. At the base were a fan and
blow-pipe of great power, and the flames of the
burning charcoal roared in tho blast like a hur-
eral wealth and food, you add that last and great- ricane. Every six hours the metal is run off
into a channel of sand, from which the moulds
for the pigs fork at right angles, and the flash
ing, scintillating stream flows into these sand
moulds, and forms the pig iron of commerce.
The works here were driven by damming np
the Chattooga, and conducting its waters by a
canal, partly subterranean, half a mile across a
bend. You see here a grist mill, and the fan
driven by abnndant water power—you see the
water below the wheel, but you must conjecture
where it comes from, unless told.
The ore at this establishment is brought three
miles from a spnr of Taylor’s Ridge, where the
supplies are inexhaustible. The demand for the
iron is not half met—the Superintendent shows
net earnings of nearly a hundred per cent, a
year—and here is a chance for anybody to in
vest who h*s the money to spare. I refer any
gentleman disposed to try his hand to CoL No
ble, at Rome.
After viewing these works, we rode two miles
farther and partook of a splendid barbecue, pre
pared nnder the auspices of the hospitable Ro
mans, who had sent out runners ahead for that
purpose. 'Why is barbecued meat so much bet
ter than any other? Give ns the scientific ex
planation. Like Dalgetty, I laid in provender for
the future.
We crossed the Chattooga twice near the Ferry
where Miss Emma Sansom guided Forrest
across the ford in pursuit of Straight—the peo
ple say the whole story is true.
After a return ride of five miles in a four mule
wagon without springs—at a round trot over a
rough road—we got back to the boat very sore,
hot and weary. The weather has been tetribly
oppressive ever since I left Macon last Monday
night. Some people amnse themselves by ro
mancing about tool mountain, air; but it is only
romance. The hottest weather I have seen was
near the top of Raccoon Mountain, and those of
our party who visited Lookout, nearly dissolved
in perspiration. I have not known the luxury
of dry clothing since I left home.
After we got to the boat, as some of the party
were anxious to return home, a meeting was
called to consider future movements. A large
majority were in favor of continuing the trip
down the Selma, Rome and Dalton road on Mon
day ; and this will be the movement, I presume.
After this point was disposed of, Col. Hulbert
was called out, and delivered a speech as full of
food for reflection as ever a speech of that length
was. The matter of it concerns every Georgian,
and I am pleased to know that it will be substan
tially reproduced in a few days in the shape of
a letter to Senator Price, when nil the papers
est trophy of agriculture—the fleecy locks of old
j King Cotton. No part of the upland country
j can exceed yon in the quality or product of the
I cotton which finds its way to your market by
I rail or by tho beautitnl river which for nearly
I two hundred miles throngh fertile bottoms is
I tributary to yonr trade.
Follow-citizens—this is an extraordinary com
bination ; and when we add to it,-the fact that
you will soon be on the great thorough-fare of
| travel between the Southwest and the North—
! between New Orleans and New York—I antici
pate for you a much more rapid growth than per-
J haps you are disposed to anticipate for your-
I selves; and. in the future yon may one day
! find yourselves rivalling in wealth and popnla-
1 tion the seven-hilled city for which you were
named. •
Fellow-citizens, the Governor and CoL Hnl-
bert have brought us to see you in pursuance,
I think, of a wise and sagacious policy. The
war has jolted our people out of their old ruts,
and we have not as yet settled down upon a
fixed industrial policy. Whilo in this unsettled
condition, it is important for the people to know
. the vast opportunities opened to enterprise and
industry by tho mines and quarries and work
shops and forges of the State. The Governor
has our hearty sympathy, and will have our
earnest co-operation in every patriotic sugges
tion and movement for the elevation and im
provement of Georgia.
We have jnst returned from a tonr over the
State Road, which has afforded us the highest
gratification. We have seen for ourselves the
enterprise, energy and intelligence which has
been displayed by CoL Hulbert in the govern
ment of the road. We note everywhere the
signs of watchfulness and progress. The re
pairs are of the mast permanent and faithful
character. The road-bed is being regraded and
ballasted as fast as possible, so as to insure a
smooth, safe and permanent line. Station-
houses of a substantial character are supplying
the places of mere temporary sheds. The roll
ing stock and motive power seem to be in tho
nicest condition, and, in short, I think the Press
is satisfied that the management of this great
State property is faithful and eminently saga
cious. I think we can all see why $25,000 is
paid monthly into the State Treasnry, instead of
$40,000, and that we generally acquiesce in the
propriety of the change.
But more than even the diligence and enter
prise which characterize the management of the
State Roai, we appreciate the equity and jus
tice and liberality of its management. Here are
no iron-handed and tyranical discriminations in i ■will copy it Hon. C. W. Howard followed Mr.
defiance of distance, to build up some points at
the expense of others—a policy destined tocreate
much tronble, loss and vexation in Georgia.
Equal rates of fare and freight are prescribed,
and those with an eye to the development of
trade, industry and wealth, rather than to the
exaction of the greatest amount of revenue. Tho
Road seems to be governed in this particular by
the comprehensive views in which this great
achievement of State enterprise originated.
Fellow-citizens of Rome: We thank you for
this hospitable and distinguished reception.
Some men are too fast and fret out existence by
seeking to drag reluctant enterprise up to their
own advanced position. These, however, are
few. The great majority of us are too slow, and
ever behind the times. You people of Rome,
will have to be very fast to keep abreast of the
plain demands of the singular felicities of your
situation.
Colonel Hulbert was then called on, but it was
necessary to burry to the boat, and he postponed
his speech to the next favorable occasion. In a
few moments the banquet hall was deserted and
we were afloat upon the clear bright waters of the
Coosa.

Cornwall Mines—Smdtiny Ore—Barbecue—

Coosa River, Angnst 29, I860.
The Coosa River is about 450 or 500 feet
wide—very uniform in it3 width and the height
of its banks, which are the margin of a splendid
alluvial region. So low was the stream that we
could not see any of the surrounding country,
which I am told is very beantifuL Sometimes
we passed a fishing or hunting party—once or
twice a party of ladies under the shade of the
ancient marginal trees—now and then a ferry
man or a group of field hands—twice a flock of
wild tnrkies—but the signs of cnltivatiou were
few. A line of maple, oak, beech, cedar, gum,
willow, etc., of not very lofty growth, skirts the
bank, but we could see that a great part of tho
country immediately beyond wa3 cleared.
The banks disclose strata of yellow clay and
blue limestone. The water is transparent. Our
boat, the Etowah, Capt. Griffin, drew sixteen
inches and frequently rubbed bottom. There

exceedingly anxious not only that it shall be, in
every respect, worthy of the State, but that it

Letter from Tzlbet
Drought in Talbot—Good Crop of Com—Short
Crop of Cotton—The Dejiccney in Production
must be made up in price, etc.
Talbotton, Ga., August 27, 1869.
Editors Telegraph; We have had rains in
different portions of this county recently, but
the cotton continues to suffer. The squares are
parched on the stalk; the young bolls have
fallen off, with the exception of low grounds,
and no more cotton can possibly be made on
uplands which have been stimulated by manures
or early planted.
We see a short crop staring ns in the face,
and if the falling off is as great throughout the
State, Georgia must lose one hundred thousand
bales of tho anticipated crop. Our hope is the
deficiency in production will be made np in in
creased values. From present prospects the
incoming crop of cotton will bring high prices,
unless the equilibrium between manufactured
goods and the raw material be re-establiBhed,
which would reduce present quotations. Esti
mating the American crop at three million of
bales even, with the same proportionate crops
for East India and Brazil aBlast year, and there
will still be wanting a vast amount of cotton for
the increased consumption of the world’s de
mand. The manufacturing interest of Man
chester and Lowell could well afford to pay 30
cents per pound for the present crop of cotton,
and I trust our Southern planters will be able
to hold and demand it. It is very evident, from
present indications of short corn crops through
out the Western States, that not only the article
of com but bacon, in consequence, must be
very high another year. High prices for cot
ton, then, are demanded, or the farming opera
tions in the future must collapse.
It gives me pleasure to report a good com
crop throughout Talbot, which, I have no doubt,
will be sufficient for all purposes another year.
If our people will plant plentiful of small grain
during the fall and next spring, I apprehend
little danger to the farming interest.

From Oar Foreign Commissioner or
Immigration.
COLONEL SAMUEL WEIL IN GERMANY.
From the Atlanta Constitution.]
For the information of the people of Georgia,
I ask a place in your columns to say that I have
a communication from CoL Samuel Weil, the
Foreign Commissioner of Immigration for this
State, announcing his safe arrival in the city of
Bremen.
He set sail from Baltimore on the steamer
Berlin, on the 14th of July, and after a pleasant
passage of fifteen days, landed at Bremen on
the 29th of July. It is his purpose to make the
latter city his headquarters for the present.
GoL Weil informs me that there prevails in
Ins native land, a prejudice against the country
and people of the South, resulting from the
studied and persistent teaching of the enemies
of our section. For want of proper information
on the subject, the German people are afraid of
onr climate, and have been lead to believe, from
Northern journals that the South is no place
for a happy home or a prosperous life.
Tho German press has caught the infection,
and its influence is set against ns. Id that
country, as well as in regions nearer home, our
reviled and persecuted section has had no ad
vocates or defenders. Agents of railroads and
land companies, from the Northern and North
western States of this country, are to be found
all over Germany, and they make it a special
part of their business to villify and traduce the
Southern States and people. Colonel Weil goes
amongst the people of his native land, prepared
to meet these tradneers of tho Sonth, and refute
their slanders. Bold and fearless as he is,
Georgia will find m him a diligent and faithful
representative of her interests. He earned with
him faots nnd figures and documents, which,
coupled with an experience of eignteen years’
residence in the State, will enable him to place
Georgia in her true light, and to show that no
State or country nnder the sun, presents to the
sober, industrions and enterprising emigrant
more advantages than may be found in this
commonwealth.
CoL Weil enters upon the duties of his mis
sion earnestly and hopefully. He will at once
have his circulars printed and distributed, and
from his headquarters at. Bremen, he will travel
in the interior, diffusing correct information
among the people as to the climate, resources
and capabilities of Georgia, with a view of in-
dneding such of the German people, and such
only, to come to our Strte, as will make good
citizens and add to the wealth and prosperity of
our people.
It is the purpose of CoL Weil to induce, if
possible, a large steamship company to establish
a line from Bremen direct to Savannah, and if
be should succeed in this, many of the impedi
ment^ to immigration will bo removed.
By your kind permission, Mr. Editor, I will
send a train to Lynchburg, Ya., undor the
direction of CoL Hulbert. to take the party to
Macon. He, himself, wonld receive them at the
State line, and proceed with them to Macon.
The train cannot go further North than Lynch
burg. because the guage of tho road there takes
the Northern standard, four feet eight inches,
while onr roads are five feet. I call attention
of the President, the Executive Committee and
the people of Macon to this liberal proposition.
I concur with the Governor in tho opinion that
this movement might effect very salutary re
sults.
AN HUMBLE REMONSTR ANCE.
I have seen, my dear Telegraph, your issues
of 26th and 28th—the first all right—the second
so full of the most grotesque and absurd blun

Red Clover, Grass, Etc
For the Fewnan Herald )
Mr. Editor—For three or four years past I
have been experimenting with clover and sev
eral varieties of grass. A great many persons
have made inquiries concerning them, and,
hoping that it may assist those who have de
cided to have a clover lot, and stimulate others
to an effort in the same direction, I have con
cluded to give you the result of the experiment.
Clover,like any other crop,to grow successfully,
requires rich land. It would be jnBt as sensible
to expect a first class crop of ootton or com on
poor land as a good crop of clover. The land
must be naturally rich, or made so by liberal
application of manure, and then I know of no
crop raised in this country that will return
larger profits than a combination of orchard
grass and red clover.
In the fall of 1866. I prepared a small plat of
ground, abont one acre and a half. The laud
was naturally rich and did not require any ferti
lizer. About the first of October with a turn
plough, followed by a snhsoiler, I broke the land
ten or eleven inches deep, fifteen would have
been better, but I find it impossible with any
plough that I have used to break stiff red land
more than ten or twelve inches. I sowed wheat,
covering it with the harrow. Two weeks later
sowed twelve pounds of clover seed and one
bushel and n half of orchard grass, not covering
at all. In a short time 1 had a fine stand of
wheat, grass and clover.
After cutting the wheat the following year, a
great number and a great variety of weeds came
up and grew so rapidly that I lost sight of the
grass and clover. In August, when the weeds
were in full bloom, with a grass aoythe, I cut
them close to the ground, md I have not been
troubled with weeds on that lot since that time.
Tbo clover and grasB grew off vigorously and
made a fine grazing lot during the following
winter. On the 15th of May, 1868,1 oat the
grass and clover, and they averaged four feet
-all over the lot. Towards the latter part of
June I cut again, the average height being
about two feet. A third crop grew during the
same summer which matured a large quantity
of seed. T did not weigh the hay, but the low
est estimate by any of my neighbors who saw
the bulk after being dried, was thr6e tons per
acre; equal to niuety dollars in any market.
In cutting, shocking aud housing, one hand was
employed about four days. This covers the en
tire expense of the crop, excepting one bushel
of gypsum or land plaster to the acre, sowed in
early spring. Now each one can make his own
calculation and compare the profit with that de
rived from other crops.
During the present year I have grazed the
lot. From first of March to middle of June,
light roller, and my word for it, you will never
live to regret the operation. If you sow wheat
or oats as they do in the Northern States, you
need not expect a crop of elover the first season.
Wbeb the grain is cut the plants are so tender the
sun checks their growth until summer is aver.
It is, and has been the general impression
that clover will not grow in this latitude. But
few have tried it, and when there has been a
failure, the fault undoubtedly, has been in the
experiment, not in the climate. I have traveled
in Virginia and Tennessee, in all seasons of the
year, and I have seen better clover in this 00tin-
try than I ever saw in either of those States.—
Between this and Augnsta, in different locali
ties, there are large fields of clover that have
been growing for several years, as successfully
as any in a higher latitude. There is no defi
ciency in the climate. This climate will grow
almost everything north of the tropics, and it is
probably superior, or at least equal, to any in
the world for the growth of all the olovers and
grasses. This operation will, in my judgment
be fully verified in a very few years, for as la
bor becomes scarcer and higher, grass lots and
clover fields will begin to appear all over the
country; then, aud not till then, can we talk in
earnest about renovating our old fields; about
fat beef, mutton and bogs, and fine horses.
Yours, eto., J. R. T.
Salt and Cotton.
From the New York Evening Pott, August 24.]
One serious difficulty in the production of cot
ton at this time is the want of cheap salt. The
fertilizers chiefly used on cotton lands are
guano, the super-phoRphates, bone dust and the
“natural phosphates” found so abundantly near
Charleston; besides, the cotton seed and farm
composts which, however excellent, cannot be
obtained in sufficient quantities. Now, Messrs.
Loring and Atkinson have shown that the phos
phates and guano contain everything which the
cotton takes from tho land, except the alkalies
and chlorine; and chloride of sodium, or com
mon salt, contains precisely the ingredients
wanted. It decomposes in the soil, forming
soda, and releasing the chlorine, so that, when
added to the natural or prepared phosphates, it
makes a perfect fertilizer. The liberal use of it
in this way doubles the cotton crop, and at the
same time restores the soil, so that it may be
planted year after year without exhaustion.
“One of the most successful planters in the
South,” says the book we cited yesterday, writes
as follows as to the usefulness of salt:
“I have used salt for fifteen or more years. I
find it essential to success on all lands like mine,
and most of thd cotton lands are like mine.—
Three hundred pounds of salt and two hundred
of land-plaster are almost a total preventive of
rust, which is one of the worst enemies the plan
ter has to contend with. Salt makes cotton
bear longer in the season and stand drought bet
ter, it increases the quantity and improves the
quality of the staple, it acts equally well on
com, oats and other grains, toughens wheat
straw, causes less waste from the heads of wheat
breaking off when cut. I use eight hundred
bushels. I wonld use one thousand bushels.—
Many cannot use it on account of the price.”
Here is the difficulty with most planters. Salt
in Liverpool is worth eight cents per bnshei,
bat under the tariff established for the Syracuse
monopoly, it pays a duty here of eighteen cents
per hundred pounds in bulk, or twenty-four
cents in bags. The latter form is, of course,
that nsedin the interior, and this duty amounts,
on the average, to seventeen cents in gold per
bushel, or two hundred and twelve per cent.—
Messrs. Loring and Atkinson remark:
The effect of the duty has been an advance
from 50 cents to $1 per sack (of 213 pounds) in
I860, to $1 90 to $2 30 per sack in 1869, in the
Savannah market, and a curtailment of its use.
It is the opinion of dealers there that at 80 cents
to $1 per sack large quantities would be used.
As it is, not more than a quarter of the 22,748,-
400 pounds imported into Savannah during the
year ending June 1, 1SG9, was used for fertili
zers."
The effect of this oppressive and prohibitory
duty is felt in the culture of cotton rather as a
hindrance and embarrassment than as a tax.
But that it must increase the cost of cotton is
dear. It is, however, only one of the many
ways in which the tariff enhances the cost and
diminishes the productiveness of all agricultural
work. Every farmer in the country could get
his tools at a small proportion of their present
price were the single tariff monopoly of iron
broken down. Farmers wonld use better ma
chines and tools, and far more of them; would
raise more corn, wheat and cotton on every acre;
and the food and clothing of every man in the
country would be cheaper and better than they
are, were the iron monopoly struck down.
Persecution of (he Jews in Moldavia,
Sir Francis Goldsmith sends to the London
Telegraph the followiug translation of a letter
from Moldavia, giving information respecting
the persecution of the Jews in that principality:
“Families accustomed to every domestic com
fort have been driven from their homes, and
are obliged to wander about without knowing
where to rest their weary limbs. The poor ex
iles have not even been allowed to collect the
scanty remnants of their portable property.^—
They have been despoiled, defraudded and ill-
treated, yet no one comes forward to procare
for them* the needful sympathy, and to put a
stop to the infamous proceedings. On the last
festival of Pentecost the village Jews were
thrown into wagons and removed from their
domiciles. Similar heinous practices were re
peated on subsequent Sabbaths, so as to aggra
vate the offensivencss and mortifying effect of
these persecutions. Women in the agonies of
childbirth were dragged away from their couch
es. In vain did they implore to havs only one
day’s respite granted them.
“ Among the Jewish villagers was one who,
during the whole period of the famine of 18G6,
had relieved the laborers residing in this vicini
ty,” and had thus afforded sustenance to no less
than eighty families. The snm thus expended
amounted to 7,000 francs, as is proved by the
papers he left behind and which bear the official
sealB of the snb-prefeef, os also of the chief of
the village. During the same period this be
nevolent Jew caused a new bridge to be con
structed at his expense, when the former one
had been carried away by the overflowing of tho
river. In like manner this Jew had conferred
many other benefits upon his fellow villagers.
Scarcely, however, had the ministry the first re
script for the expulsion of the Jewish villagers,
when the sub-prefect and the chief of the village
Sayme siezed this same Jew, together with his
wife and children, threw them into wagons, and
oarried them away from their comfortable
homes. His charitable work and the documen
tary evidence of his public usefulness obtained
for him no consideration.”
