city would settle a claim held against the
city for damages to property, caused by

that the repeated failures of all former anti
existing organizations to restore the State
and meet the requirements of the Republi
can spirit of our institutions by insisting
on measures of proscription, far exceeding
the provisions of the Constitution of the
United States and the reconstruction acts,
have rendered them unworthy Os the respect

er disabilities than Imposed bv Congress;

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of tbs Code Is not repealed by, nor is it In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.

Half way up Lookout Mountain, the place
where memory is stirred by a thousand,
thrilling associations, and where the brave
boys of both armies met and fought hand
to hand, where the blood of both friend and
foe was mingled together and ran down the
mountain side in rivulets, is a smooth-faced
rock, upon which a poor, wounded soldier
inscribed the following:
“ S. T.—lß6o—X.—Early in the battle I
was wounded and carried to this spot by
two clever ‘Yanks.’ They bade me fare
well, and, as they supposed, to die, for I was
so weak from loss of blood that I could but
faintly thank them for their kindness. They!
left in my canteen a part bottle of Planta- {
tion Bitters, to which I owe my life, for it |
strengthened me, and kept life within me 1
until help came and my wound was dressed. I
God bless them for their kindness, and for
the Plantation Bitters.”

Jottings on the Road.
JONEB, JASPER, WILKINSON, BALDWIN AND
PUTNAM COUNTIES.
Fine rains have, wifliin a few days “past,
fallen in Jones, Jasper, Wilkinson, Bald
win and Putnam counties. 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.

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.

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.

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. £
