MACON, GEORGIA: Wednesday, Hay 17th, 1865. TO ADVERTISERS. The Journal & Messenger having a large Weekly subscription in the country, in ad dition to the Daily, it presents a superior medium for the circulation of mercantile and ether advertising. Owing to the derange ment fid suspension of the mails, wo have taken every pains to send or papers by pri ■ veto individuals and Railroad Conductors to all such as live on or in the vicinity of their rout* s. We have been unable to issue * our paper daily, during our past difficulties from want of the necessary means, and hands to do so. But from this time we shall endeavor to publish it regularly, on a sheet of respectable dimensions, and invite the favors of all our old and many new adver tising patrons. 9. KQsE & CO.

We copy the following analysis of this ar ticle from the Agricultural Reports of the .Patent office. The qualities, as explained, will show that they are superior to any other for fattening stock—especially hogs. We know of several Planters that are now rais ing it for that purpose, and will agree that i€ is far preferable to the Ground Pea, or any other article they have tried. .We were on the plantation of Mr. G. M. Stokes, of Lee eo«n*y, a few days since, who gave us, as his practical experience last year, that he plant * ed ten acres—after digping enough fors< ed, he turned one hundred head of hogs into the field, where after fattening his pork, the others remained —making the time altogeth er about five months, that they were fed plentifully, or a field of ten acres.* No corn ie neoessery 1 6 harden the fat, as is the cus tom with pork ted on the Ground Pea. These nuts, would, no doubt a very fine oil. The mode of planting is to put one or two nuts in a hill, which should be from three to four feet' apart. During the summer they will spread so that the entire ground will be filled with them. A light, sandy noil is best suited for them, where they cau always be relied on to produce most abun dantly. By none, the Chufa has been avoided, by •upponing it to be the same or similar to tho AV fJraMM , (% most villainous production and a pest in aqy cultivated ground.) But w« have never heard of any one who has iriod the Chufa, that wished to get clear of a# • <!• 0 * The following is tho analysis from the Patent Office Report : The Chufa, a enrion* and, as I believe, valuable plant, has interested me greatly, and I have made a very minute analysis of •t« tuberous roots, which, from their compo sition, most be regarded as highly nutritious, iyvth for man and animals. The following are the results i W AfAv. 15.60 per cent, nr»*fier. 21.46 44 Atnr**h..,, # 27. 00 44 A peculiar suc-r, (olce maonn) 12.26 4 * LtMl 16.65 “ I! t»ei! ••£**, f <*i*ii A Hi tie albw»Vß 6 65 " I WW tubers §*■# beaten to a paste, sod mixed with water, a remarkable emul i:« i ,t mod, which, after graining, resembles mi kio appearance. Tbe fat at length rises «f the awrfnoe, aid leek# like ere am, while nost of the starch subsides to tbe bottom of 'he vessel, but enough still remains suepeUd d to give tho emulsion tho appearance of bin or skim-milk. Thus mingled with wa er, the must nutritive ingredients of this DAufc may be taken as a drink. It is much istd in thi.i manner by the Spaniards, and 1 Tuva cadoubt.wiil be-so employed in* this! country. Thi« emulsion may be sweetered iod flavored so as to make it very agreeable to tho taste. The chufa tubers capnot fail to prove a most valuable fattening food for animal*, and they are much relished by swine and poultry.

Tiit Arm.mice. Memorandum of Agreement Between Gener al Sherman and General Johnston. Washington, April 22, 18$5. As reports have been in circulation for some time of a correspondence between Generals Johnston and Sherman, the mem orandum or basis of what was agreed upon between these two Generals, and the result is as follows: MEMORANDUM. Memorandum or basis of agreement made this eighteenth day of April, A. D., 1865, aear Dunham’s station, and in the State of North Carolina, by and between Gen. Joseph E. Johnston, commanding tho Confederate army, and Major General William T. Sher man, commanding the army of the United States, in North Carolina; both present: First—The commanding armies now in the field to maintain their statu quo until notice is given by tho commanding General of cither one to its oppouent, and reasonable time, say forty-eight hours, allowed. Second—The Confederate armies now in existence to be disbanded and conducted to their several State capitals; there to deposit their, arms and public property in the State arsenal, and*each officer and man to execute and tile an agreement to cease from acts of war and abide the action of both State and Federal authorities. The number of arms and munitions of war to bo reported to the Gftief of Ordnance at Washington city, sub ject to future action of the Congress of the United Sutes, and.in the meantime to he u?ed solely to maintain peace and order within the borders of the States respective ly- Third—The recognition by the Executive es the Uuited States or the several State gov ernments, on their officers and Legislatures taking the oath prescribed by the constitu tion of the Uuited States, and where con flicting State governments have resulted from the war, tie legitimacy of all shall be submitted to the Supreme Court of the Uuited Spates. FoUTib—The re-establishment of all Fed eral c urts iu the several States wuh powers as and Hat’d by the constitution and iuws oi Congress. Fil h—The people and inhabitants of all States to be guaranteed, so far as the Ex e utive can, their political rights and ffiiiiCiii »;cs, as well as tneir rights of per o.i and prop* rt), as defined by the coustiiu’iou oi the United States aud States r< .-pi ct.v* ly. Sixth—Tne ex<.cu ive authority of the government of the Uuited States not to dis turb any of the people by reason of tbelato war, so long as they live in peace aud quiet, abs uiu from acts of armed‘h< stiliry, ai<(l obey laws m existence at auy place of their resi deuce. Seventh- 1 -In general terms was to cease, a general auiuesty, so far as the executive power of the Uuited States can commaud, oi on condition of disbandment of the Con federate armies, and the distribution of arms and retumptiou of peaceful pursuits by offi cers and men as hitherto composing the said armies, not being fully empowered by our respective principals to fulfill these terms, we individually aud officially pledge ourselves 'to promptly obtain necessary authority and to carry out the above programme. W. T. SHERMAN, . Major General. Commanding the Army of the United States in North Carcliua. J. E. JOHNSTON, General. Commanding Confederate States Army iu North Caiolina. This proceeding of General Sherman was unapproved, for the following, among other reasons: First, It was an exercise of authority not vested in General Sherman, and on itsWace shows that both he and Johnston knew that he (General Sherman) had no authority to cuter into any such arrangement. Second, It was a practical acknowledg ment of the rebel government. \ • Third, It undertook to re-establish the rebel State governments, that bad been over thrown at the sacrifice of many thousand loyal lives and an immense treasure, aud placed arms aud muuiiiuns of war in the hands of the rebels at their respective capi tel.-, which might bu u.-ed as soon as the ar mies of the United States were disbanded, and used to conquer aud subdue the loyal Slates. Fourth, By the restoration of the rebel au thority iu their respective States, they would be enabled to re-csteblbh slavery. FiTih, It might furnish a ground of re sponsibility by the Federal Government to Jiay the rebel debt, aud oertaiuly subjects oyal citizens of the rebel Stares to tbe debt consummated by the rebels in the name of the State. Sixth, It. puts in dispute the existence of loyal Slate* Governments and the new State of Western V irginia, which had -been recog niz'd by every department of the Uuited tffttteS Government. Seventh. It practically abolished.the con fite&'iou Itw*, mid relieved reOoh of every, dr g'oe, w ho bad slaughtered our people, Irooi ail pains and peoaltws for their crimes. Eighth, It gave term? that bad been do liberated), repeatedly and solemnly rej eied by FfsstUnt*t Liusolo, abd hatter term* than the r» bels had ever asked in their most pros perous condi thin. Ninth, L. formed no basis true nnd last ing peace, but relieved rebel* from the pres sure of our victories,and ief- them in condi tion to renew their tftert* to overthrow the United States Government, and subdue the loyal States, whenever their streDg’h wa* recruited and any opportunity should ofler.’ A Retain 1 »cnee »t tbe JtTacuaUos of Rlehiuoud->cvuMxud lucidt nuof the C«hflnfr« don. [From the Richmond Wh pj Apnl 22 ] As the events of that dreadful Monday morning of April 3d recede from us ui»on the tide es time, cir umstcnces that were then swallow* and up and losr sight of io the general Pandemonium stand our m *st prom inently on mind’s viaion. The Govern ment had gone—crossed the turbid waters of the James, never more to return —and Richmond was no more the capital of the Southern Confederacy. Ibe bridges and river side of the city were in fi imes, and the fire, struck by a south-east breeze, swept to ward Main street, leaping from house to house and block to block. The innocent noise of exploding shdlls in tho arsenals and magazines, and the crash of falling walls, weut upon every side, while the lurid smoke, ashes rud red hot cinders rolled down into ‘ the ucjaceht streets, enveloping the thous-' anus v. ho filled them, some hurrying to and fro with pitiful relics of" their household, goods; others, and by far the greater num ber, intent on plunder. Tbe sun rose red aud round, and hung amid the lurid smoke j and glare of the flame like a great beacon of i woe, or the awful unlashed ey.s of an aveng- j ing deity. Men were not excited, but stun- 1 ned, and stood dumb apparently, watching | with vacant stare the rolling md surging of the sea of fire, that was lapping up with tongues of flame their consecrated comforts and toil of years. Some silently like children, and wrung tbeir hands like women, iiemorsrless flame ! what caret* it for tears ? It 1< aped for jay ) it leaped and danced upon the house roofs ; it shot up in gxeat pyra mids, and curled up and nestled down in the chambers— -44 Ever io a new plac« Liftii'g its fiery luce.” Afc about 8 o’clock, the conflagration, viewed from an elevated po>i«fe.n, fearfully reminded the spectator of the ancient paint ings representing bell. Whole acres were billowed over by flames and smoke, and a great oloud, the smoke of it 4 torment, hung over the nity. Verily had the “day for which all other days were made” been actu ally come, the consternation, terror, and ag ony of the scene could hardly have been en hanced. The devil was loosed for his little season; God seemed to have removed bis providence, and all was whirling to chaos and ruin together. Thieves, black and white, were abroad by hundreds. Retreat ing in advance of the first, they broke open stores, rqbbed and plundered, and tin n aided in the* spread of the flames by firing the stores plundered. Few saved a tenth part of their plunder ; and that plundered by ope s«t of thieves often fell into the of another gang of pillagers The gutters and xidowftlks *.f Main stieet wer* aifewed w«’h silks, Mitius, bonnets, boots, hats, clothing fancy goods, cosmetics. Men diu> k wuh the l quor that was to be bad ad libitum, fl wiug in the stnets nnd decorating the idt walks in botTes and ea-ks, staggered under the burden of great loads of sioh n goods. Men, women, boys, and girls, half stifled with the smoke that-rolled a-1 mg the streets, “tugged, pulled, hauled, aud tu* seled” with one another, all endeavoring to save as much as possible from the general wreck and ruin impending, pot for the own ere, but for them-clves. Weak childien tugged at boxes of tobacco, rolling them wlieu too heavy, end over eud, to places of safety. Women grabbled with barn Is of) fl *ur, s reetebed and yelled to each other for assistance, hut rarely got it unless a co partnership of hpoils was agreed upon.- Carts, drays, and wheelbarrows were run ning in a continuous train up town carrying away the plunder of the pillagers. No law, no police—there was no one to stop the wholesale plundering and transfer of goods. Rights in property were wipod out; no man owticd anything. Aud it was wonderful, to witness the apathy of owuers. Men who were threatened with the greatest loss, seem ed the least concerned, and 1 be least disposed to save their stock. They stood like blocks and saw their wealth scattered to the four■; winds ; parkd among thieves, scattered and j trampled in the street. Some few had a; realizing sense of the situa’ion, and exerted themselves to save what they could. When the red demon of fire had grazed up to Main street, and leaped, upon one of the large buildings near Twelfth street, the owner and occupant, who was standing in the crowd of pillagers and spectators, wrung, his hands and exclaimed: “Oh, just there! It ! s going to burn my house and everything I’ve got in the world. I have worked twenty-four years and cheated nobody, and now l r m going to be robbed of it all in a moment. Oh, God, it is too hard.” Then as the flames envel oped the roof, and glared out of the win dows, it seemed too much for the poor man, and be cried out, elevating his arms, “there goes fivq hundred thousand dollars to h—ll, aud I hav’nt got one dollar iu my pocket/.’ Then turning to the crowd he continued, his tears and the smoke combined, stifling his utterance, “Go iit, boys, go in. llt give a gold dollar for every piece ii goods you save.” The pillagers went but at that moment the roof leeliu, aud s;ore and stock was u ruin/ The contiaganftion was about at its height when the van of the Union army of occupation entered the city at full gail**p by way of Main street. Their blue uni forms and the cavalry markers they carried were descried for some distance down Main street, and, as they came up at full speed, the crowds of citizens that tilled the street could be seen swaying back and forth like a forest tossed by a tornado. At the cor ner of Main and Governor streets, where a well known citizen was standing, at officer dashed up, and inquired in a breath; ‘‘which way to the capitQl ?” He was as quickly informed, and the cavalcade. dashed on up Governor street, amid a great flatter of sabers and boots, the roar of exploding shells, tumbling Walls and cracking flames, interspersed by shouts nnd„ exclamations from the populace, of “the Yankees! the Yankees! Oh, the Yankees have cornel” It was hard to realize, but there was the veritable blue of “Uncle Sam,” and in a few minutes the Stars and Stripes floated from V e capitol, where the day previous had appeared the Stars and Bars of the Confederate States. The subsequent successful efforts put by Gen. Veitze), his officers and me", to stay the progress of the fire which threatened the destruction of the entire city, have been made subjects of record before by us, and need not be again refer red to here. The flames was mastered and their bounds prescribed; pillaging was stopped, property made secure, and law and order again reigned Warsaw.

That some such arrange ments will he done is more than probable, as ! at present, there i«,«r more correctly migh' b< j some clashing of tbe discordant elements in ; Virginia The following is one of the late Major No ah's stories: .. - 4 Sir'bring me *\ good plain dinner, said a melnnch*»l!y individual to a waiter at one if our principal hotels/ * Yes Ji ' The and inner w.t« brought and devoured at and the cater called the landlord aside, and thus addressed him ‘ You are the landlord ? ’ ‘Yes' . 1 You do a good business here V « Yes,' (in astonishment ) ‘ Y -u make—probably—ten dollars per uav dear V 1 Ye*/ , ‘ Then lam safe I cannot pa? for wba- I have consumed ; T have been out of em ployment seven'mouths but I have engaged to go to work to morrow.

Seven years after, that wealthy man en tered the political arena, was present'd at a caucus as applicant, for Congressional nom* ioatiou. The principal of too caucus hold bis peace—he heard the name and the histo ry of the applicant, who was a member of the church and one of the most respectable citizens. He was chairman. The vote was a tie, and he cast a negative—-thereby de tea* ing tho hotel keeper, whom he met an hour afterwards, and to whom he said— -4 You don't remember me V 4 No.' x ' 4 1 once ate dinner at your hotel, and al though I told you [ was famishing, and pledged my word and honor to pay you in h •ve<k, you took my c at and saw me go out into inclemeut uir at the ride of my life without it. 4 Well sir, what then V 4 Not much.
