GEORGIA. Att. ant a, June 22. —The Supreme Court of Georgia, to-day, decided that the Cede of Georgia adopted by the ifc.w constitu tion, forever prohibits the marriage rela tion between white persons and persons of African descent, ana declares such marri ages null and void. Second—This section of tbs Code Is not repealed by, nor is it In consistent with, that part of the constitu tion which declares that the social status of the citizen shall never be the subject of legislation. That clause of the constitu tion absolutely denies to the Legislature the power to pass laws, in future, regulat ing the social status or compelling the two races, to unite in soelal intercourse. As the laws then In existence allowed churches, for Instance, to determine for themselves who should occupy their sents and where they should sit, and permitted railroads ami steamboat companies and hotel keep ers to classify and assign places to those using their accommodations according to social status and grade as they might )think proper, the constitution puts it lie vond the power of the Legislature ever tc enact any law compelling them to make difficult classifications or to group to gether .in social intercourse those who do not recognize each other as social equals. As the social relations of citizens are not the propA subjects of legislation, the con stitution has wisely put the matter at rest by denying to the Legislature the power to repeal or enact laws on that subject.

Crops of corn present a fine appearance—stalks are large end strong, everything about it looks dark and green. With a few more seasonable rains the land in corn will produce from two to three hundred per cent, more than last year. The cotton plant looks very healthy— has grown much in the last three weeks— is well advanced for the season, though some consider it small. A great contest is now going on between the farm laborers and the grass, but we have confidence in _ the success of the laborers. Fertilizers have made a difference of one hundred per cent, in the growth. Crops of several hun dred acres in Putnam, we think, will-av erage what is termed half leg high; or, say 10 ta 12 inches- To use a vulgerism of the colored people, it is now “ performing ” finely. A great many small, rich plats of ground have cotton from kne» to thigh high. « White Labor. —We were told a few® days ago that two sons, • about grown, oP P. H. Dawson, of Putnam county, in 1807, raised from their own labor sixteen bales of cotton. A young man in the same county, Mr. Calhoun Parham, last year • raised, from his own labor, nine bales_ of cotton. Many white men are working farms now, formerly worked by large bodies of colored people, and prospects are bright. An Irish Potato Story. —A friend in Putnam county, (who at his request shall be nameless), presented us wirij some splen did specimens of Irish potatoes. He in formed us that he had been using from the bed for his fiimily, composed of ten or more persons, from May Ist to June 15th, when he dug them and saved thirty bushels. The bed was about one-thirteenth of an acre. This shows a production at the rate of four hundred bushels of Irish potatoes to the acre. Manufacture of Draining Pipes —At No. 1, MilledgeVille and Gordon Railroad, more commonly known as Stevens’ Mills T we saw the other day persons engaged in® the manufacture from the clay of that sec tion, inexhaustible quantities of which are to be found there, piping suited for drain age of buildings, sewerage and under drain age of lands. Mr. Henry Stevens, who is one of the most enterprising men we Have, has commenced this manufacture. It is under the direction of a gentleman who came from New Jersey for the purpose. They are now preparing about 700 feet per day of eight or nine inch pipe. The furnace for burning it is nearly completed. When it.is finished Mr. Stevens will estimate the cost and fix a price upon it. He is confi dent he will be able to sell it at a cheaper rate than'it cart be imported. We are glad to see this manufacture introduced in Geor gia, and hope it will be encouraged by the people. Crops and Weather. —For a week past we have had a succession of bright, sunny-, days, which coming after the late heavy showers, have given *>n extradrdinary im petus to the. growings crops. Com lias stretched up at least two feet, and bids fair to be large enough, and with a few more rains, to yield heavily. Cotton also lias put on a change almost magical. We hear of blooihs, and manur ed and guanoed portions of the crop are re markably flourishing. We are still forced to chronicle, however, that the general average of cotton is seve ral weeks behind what it usually is at this season of the year. g The lice have disappeared and the weed" looks healthy and is comparatively- free from grass. Our farmers wear smiling faces, and all would be well but for the cry of more corn and bacon. How long shall we • continue to be the servants of the North and West ? [ Cuthbert Appeal, 35 fh. The Crops, &c.— Corn and cotton have received anew impetus from the recent rains, and are growing fresh and vigorous. The prospect of good crops is becoming more apparent, and the farmers are san-3 guine. On Tuesday last, we were visited A with a most refreshing shower, which set the young corn to laughing with joy, and it is now shooting upward with remarka able rapidity. The young cotton stalks are buoyant. The wheat crop is excellent, many fartaers having realized their highest anticipations. 4 Most of our tarming friends have their crops clean and well in hand, so that the grass can be controlled during the bal ance of the season. We are pleased to ob serve the general drive-ahead spirit and thrift of the farmers through this section. On their energy, perseverence and indus try depends our prosperity. [ Griffin Star, 2Z-!h. From the Fork.— We were pleased ves terday to receive a call from our friend and countryman, Vf.B. Bishop, from the Fork, who represnts tlie crops between the rivers g as being gdod, both corn and cotton ;■ the* wheat crop is also good, better than for the past ten years. Mr, Bishop speaks very encouragingly of the negroes in his section, says that they are attending to their busi ness and working well; this we are glad to learn for of the many large farms in the Fork, they-are almost entirely Cultivated by negro labor. This is an evidence suffi cient to show that they are peace&bly dis posed, and attentive to their business when let alone. Mr. Bishop has spent nearly seventy years of his life in Greene countv, and says to-day he would" not exchange it for anyconntry under the sun, and says that energy and industry is all that is ne cessary for onr people to grow rich. We are glad to know that he, as well as many of onr farmers, are making preparations to grow clover and the different grasses, for it* can but prove a success. [Eat-mton and Messenger. Condition of the Cotton Crop. —On a * -recent visit to the country, we found a con siderable portion of the cotton crop very grassy, some plantations almosfbopelessly so—the result of over planting. On in quiry, we learned that this condition of the crop was not confined to *he plantations that came under our observation. The cot ton that has been well cultivated is looking well for the Spring, and is growing rapidly. We found non* over knee high, and a great deal not over half that tall. It is evidently one month behind last veai’s crop. Corn is universally looking well, and if the seasons continue favorable, the yield to the land will*exceed that of several years. We re gret to see that so little has been planted. [Columlus Sun. Crop PnosrECTS.— So far as fine, season able rains are concerned, perhaps no year has excelled the present one for the grow ing crops. The.yield of wheat tu this sec tlon is a little above an average crop of most excellent quality; the corn Ims rarely promised lietter, though In many places the stand Is poor, has come out wonneiful- I) in the past ten days, and now promises nearly an average crop,— Jlome Courier. £
