'obstinacy is not proof against the pertiuacious,

Plantation work in Wash
ington county f»t this date is much
behind that of last year. We
doubt if onr planters ever before
put forth more energy than was dis
played in 1870. The consequence
was an abundant crop, notwithstand
ing the lack of rain at a very criti
cal time. I»ut the cotton crop put
no money into the planter’s pocket,
but rather, in many instances, left
him with unsatisfied liens suspen
ded over his property. Hence a
lack, of interest on the part of both
planter and laborer in preparing
tor another crop. We are glad to
know, however, tnat a reaction is
taking place and the work for the
year beginning in good earnest —•
The result of last year may—and
we believe will—prove of incalcu
lable value to the country. It has
lifted the scales from the eyes of the
people, enabling them to see -their
fully and to shun the like again.—
The supply of corn and bacon is in far
better condition, (having been heav
ily manured last year,) and the
prospect for good crops, under good
tillage and the blessings of heaven,
more than ordinarily flattering.-
Most earnestly do we hope that
planters will not be deceived into
the planting of heavy eottou crops
under the vain delusion that the
next will be more profitable than
the last. Already do we see the
opinioh of a distinguished cotton
planter quoted to that effect. Be
not deceived; *tis but the opinion
of a man—a worshipper of King cot
ton. Fill your garners with grain,
smoke houses with bacon, and then
come what will, the hand of God
excepted, you are independent.—
Show us a land abounding in food
for man and beast, and we will show
you a people prosperous and happy.

Planters Take Heed—Beware of Ex
tremes.
Editor Appeal:
Stimulated by the high price of cotton,
and the flattering results arising from tie use
of fertilizers the previous year, our farmers
in 1870 were seized with a guano mania,
which all the rolling stock pnd railroad fa
cilities of the Btate # could not satisfy. Small
planters, cropping with one or two plows on
ly, did not hesitate to purchase from three tol
teo tons of fertilisers, without auy regard to
the textnfe or ‘character of the soil they cul
tivated, and with no experience as to the
mode of application, or the amount per acre
to be Used of these untried plant stimulants.
As was to be expected in a largo number
of cases, total or partial failure was the re
sult And even when used judiciously, the
unprecedented drought which prevailed for
months in this region, blasted the prospects,
at one time eminently flattering. In tbe
meanwhile, tbe price of our great staple re
ceded from 20 cents to but liUlle more than
half that sum, leaving no profit balance on
the books of even the best and most prudent
agriculturists of the country. Then came
pay day for the guano notes, and the subse
quent hue and cry against every fertilizer
which had been purchased.
The writer proposes to show the injustice,
inconsistency aud folly of such a course.—
Who does not remember that in July last ev
ery newspaper in the State teemed with
glowing accoujts of the growing crops, and
the contrast between tbe manured and unma
nured fields of cotton T Time and again was
it emphatically asserted that all doobt as to
the utility of fertilizers had been settled,
once and forever. Afterwards,however, when
long weeks of fiery auus and dewless nights
had marred this fair promise, and the inevita
ble ides of November drew Dear.presto ! what
a change came over the popular mind.
Iu the face of a weed double the usual
size, and which had so recently been loaded
with fruit—and althoagh it wag equally pat
ent to observation,!hat stable manure, cotton
seed and every other stimulant had proved
powerless alike to arrest the blighting influ
ence of untoward seasons, because these liens
were bound to be paid, cu.scs loud and deep
against all manufacturers of commercial fer
tilizers resounded through the land,
Nor hare these prejudices yet abated, as
the insignificant demand for fertilizers thus
far the present season, evinces.
The folly of all this cannot be too strongly
insisted upon. In former times, when lus
load was the smallest portion of a planter’s
capital, he could afford to run down and de
stroy il.s value by the suicidal system of cul
ture then in vogue. But now bis broad acres
are the ouly heritage he can leave to his chil
dren, anil to pursue! a similar course is to re
duce them at once to beggary.
The labor of the country, at best unrelia
ble, is daily becoming Scarcer, and soon
those who permit the : r land? to \v*ar out wUI
be deprived of all manual assistance whatev
er. Who then can be so short sighted as
to adopt such
tion of iroeduicn to dig ditches, split rails,
make manure, or even cart out and apply to
the laud'that already at hanl, is well known
to all. By reliable commercial fertilizers
therefore, alone', Can We hope to preserve the
vaitte and productiveness of our lands, aud
rescue them Irora barren sterility.
L'-t every funner then diligently ascertain
by experiment w .at application is best suited
tofihe soil he cultivates, and then select some
level portion of his farm which shall be an
nually enriched, until it reaches its maximum
fertility. A few acres thus treated and care
fully tilled will produco a larger revenue
than five times the atsa tinder the old system,
while the saving in labor, stock and fencing
will be immense.
Time and space forbid any further elabo
ration of these views, which tbc writer how.
ever may again allude to in a subsequent ar
ticle. 11. If. J.

Eimtok Appeal: An important subject
uow forces itself upou our attention—thd
subject of negro scnools ; and the question
arises, shall we take the education of this
class of citizens into our own hands, and
mould their ideas according to their own
and our interests, or shall we sutler them to
fall into the hands of teachers that will in
doctrinate them with notions directly antag
onistic to the peace and welfare of the coun
try ? We presume that no man would hesitate
to say that it is not only far better to edu
cate them ourselves, but that it will be a very
serious social and political injury not to do
it.
But there is a prejudice against teaching
negro .schools—an unreasonable prejudice—
one that is decidedly vrtong, ami full of fol
ly This prejudice is founded upon the idea
that it is disreputable to teach such schools.
Well, we contend that such an idea is nou
scasical; for, if we admit, as most men do.
that Southern men ought to do this work,
that the country will sutler if they do not,
would it not be ridiculously inconsistent to
point the finger of scorn at him who might
eugsge in it!
We hope that this thing will be viewed in
a more correct light; and instead of branding
the occupation as disgraceful-, that people
will speak of it as being honorable; ftnd en
courage Southern teachers to take hold of it.
There are men, perhaps, who miglit make
money in this way, and prove themselves of
great use to tjje country, that otherwise
could uolmakc a support; To all snch, and
to all ot-iers that feel disposed; we would say,
engage in It by all means. There is nothing
dishonorable or disrespectable about it ; on
the other hand, we regard it as very praise
worthy and patriotic. Sannoi.ru.

Important Decision in Bankruptcy.
From the Atlanta Constitution.
Atlanta, February 10, 1871.
In the District Court of the Uni
ted States, for the Northern Dis
trict of Georgia—ln the Matter
of fas f Speer, in Bankruptcy.
To the Honorable John Erskine,
Judge of said Court:
The following question of consti
tutional law earue before me in said
case, pertinent to the same, to-wit:
Can a debt created in consideration
of a negro slave, in the spring of 18-
59, bje proven and allowed in a court
of bankruptcy?
Lawson Black, Register.
It appears that Speer, the bank
rupt, in the spring of 1859, endorsed
Walker’s note to Loyed, in consid
eration of a negro slave* and after
wards tile note was tratisferfed to
Farmer for a negro slave and two
hundred dollars ($200) in money.—
Speer becomes bankrupt, and Far
mer, who is the legal owner of the
note, proves the same against the
estate of Speer in t ; is court.
A creditor of the bankrupt moves
in this “court that the claim of Far
mer be disallowed, on the ground
that the consideration of the en
dorsement of tlio note by Speer was
a negro slave, and that the constitu
tion of the State of Georgia denies
the court’s jurisdiction of debts en
tered into for negro slaves.
Opinion of the Register :
The constitution of the United
States is the supreme law ot the
land, a part of which says “that no
State shall pass any’ ex post facto
law, or laws impairing the obliga
tion of contracts.”
At the time when this contract
was made, negro slavery’ was upheld
by the laws of the United States,
and the constitution and laws of
Georgia, where the contract was en
tered into ; and the contract was
at the time legal and binding by
the laws of the State of Georgia.
Farmer had a legal right to sue
and recover on this note by law,
and the State of Georgia can make
no constitution or law afterwards
that will deprive him of this right.
“If the State* cither by constitution
or law, makes any deviation from
the terms of a contract by postpon
ing or accelerating tbe period of its
performance* imposing conditions
not expressed, or dispensing with
those expressed, however minute
of immaterial in their effect upon
the contract, impairs its obligation:
Vide Brown vs Kizzie, Ist H-. 316”
“If the contract when made was
valid by the constitution and law of
the State, no subsequent action of
the State can impair its obligation:
Ist Wall* 175; 3d Wall} 327”
“A State law passed subsequent
to the contract which deprives the
party of a remedy on the contract,
or in any other way impairs its ob
ligation, is null and void : Vide let
11., 311; 2d H.j 670 ; 3d H., 708;
24th H., 461 ; 3d McL., 675 ; 4th
McL., 80 ; 16th H., 804.”
I am of the opinion that that part
of the constitution of the State of
Georgia which denies the court ju
risdiction of contracts entered into
lor negro slaves is null and void,
and that the claim of Fanner of
right ought to be allowed.

Whereas, it is reported that no other reason

and, aftet having forcibly effected an entrance
by cutting down the door of the house with
an axe, some eight or ten of them proceeded
np stairs, to where the inmates had tied for
safety, ahd hpon finding the sail Richardson,
commenced firing upon him, aud seriously
wonnded him in three different places ; and,
Whereas, the wife of said Richardson, while

HOME-MADE
FERTILIZER!
Letter from Or. C. A. Cheatham.
DAwsoSr, trA.* Dec, 6tfi, 1870.
Messrs. L. W. Ilutit'& Cos:, Macon.
Gents: Your favor of the Ist at
hand hand. In answer, will say
that my Home-Made Fertilizer pro
duced as well as either of the others
used, (the Etiwan and Phesapeake.)
They were all used alike—planted
the same day in the satire field, and
cultivated alike—all distributed
from the sanife ftiachine; with the
same gdage. In the spring and ear
ly summer I decided in favor of the
Chesapeake, but later in the season
the Home-Made caught up ; with it,
and I am not sure but excelled it in
fruit-producing. The coming sea
son I shall use no other except such
as I compound myself. I also com
pounded a ton for Mr. John More
land, of this county, and enclose his
certificate of the result.
Yours respectfully,
C. A. CHEATHAM.
Chickasawhatciike, l.
Dec. 6th, 1870. J
Dr. C. A. Cheatham— Dear Sir;
In answer to your inquiry, “How
did my Home-Made Fertilizer do?”
I will Bay; **lt did first rate.” I
consider it as good as a majority of
the commercial fertilizers, and not
half so expensive. The next sea
son I shall use none but the Home-
Made, if you can furnish me with
the chemicals to make it.
Yours truly,
fel>3 ct JOHN MORELAND.
