Mr; Editor —ln our younger days we were accustomed to look upon what is usually called the 17th, as'the dark corner of Thomas. Great y to our surprise, however, upon a recent v sit, we found it to be one of the best and most flourishing sections to be found in the country. Having been often invited by a friend to come out and. see him, and hunt and fish, we started one sunny day afoot to spend u day or two with him; Mr. Editor, you are fond of fishing, and for your especial ’, benefit, and for the benefit of those ftho go to the river in general, we would* not to undertake to cross on the R. Road Treat'©.. It is the longest in South .rn Georgia, and very danger ous for any one to be caught on by a passing train. When we finally got across we brea thed a sigh of relief and mentally re* solved to swim- the river rather than try the experiment again. After wandering about for some timc'we at last came to a beautiful place. A nice, white painted edifice, in front of which stood a fine row of water oaks, decked in full foliage, and a yard fragrant with the loveliest Rowers of spring. We were most hos pitably received by the mistress of the 'place, (Mrs Bowen,) one of the most kind hearted and mothefly old ladies in the land Her sn, Mr. Reuben Bowen, like an honest, hard-wot king man, as he is, was out engaged in the duties of the farm. He soon came in, however, and gave us a cordial greet ing- The “nomad” negroes, who rove about the country, sometimes find their way into the 17lh. Two, whom Mr. B. bad employed, for some trivial pretence had just left him in this, the most busy time oi the year' for a farm er. wl. 'h compelled him to take hold of the plowhandles himself, which, having been raised to it, he did man fully This seims to fc the case all over the country. As soon as they get enough to eat they become dissatisfied and leave. We heard a farmer say that one had come to his bouse the day previous, in search of work. He asked him wbat wages he woold take. The darkey replied, “a dollar a month” He was then askeo how ma oy agfes be could plow in a day Tbe reply was, “one hunting} ” Tbe far mer told him to pass 00, he bad no use for him. We speot several days most pleas antly, With gun oiMpbotfidcr and rod io band we went to creek, prepared to shoot anything, dr to catch as many fish as would bite. For two solemn hoars we sat upon the banks of that silent stream and didn't get a nibble, and went back sadly, with the firm conviction that the fish in said crdfelt were not very hungry, or we were a very poor fisherman. If you wish to enji y yourself and see a good country, go to the 17th, where we will warrant you a hearty reception. Wanderer. r TEB.IIS: \ VSifcOO per Aauttui, in Advance J NATIONAL AGRICULTURAL CONGRESS. President’s-Office, "1 Chicago, March, 1873. | ! The next, being the second meeting" of the National Agricultural Congress, will be held at Indianapolis, Ind., com mencing on Wednesday May 2itb, 1873. The necessary local arrange* ments for the occasion, it is now un derstood, will be ainplo and complete. By the constitution .of this body each State and Territory is entitled to two representatives for every State or n-anTzation engaged in fostering agri cultural pnrsaits. The UfSitfcd States Department of Agriculture, Agricul tural Schools and Colleges with an en dowment of not less than 820,000, and Agricultural and Horticultural Socie ties of not less than fifty members con tributing to the support of this Con gress, are entitled to one representa* live each. In urging iTe appointment and at tendance of delegates as thus provided for, very little needs to be said. The purpose of the organization is to afford an opportunity annually, for an inter* ohange of views and opinions upon all subjects affecting the interests ot Ag ricul’ure and its kindred industries, and to promote concert of action among those engaged in these pur suits, in all matters relating to them and of national importance. The advantages to be derived from snch a median), even in ordioary times and under ordinary circumstances are quite apparent, and now that the pub* lie mind is thoroughly aroused to the necessity of considering with the greatest deliberation many questions touching the industrial interests of this country, there is good reason to ex pect a very fail representation. No similar body has.ever assembled in the United States upon whose action res ted a mure seridus responsibility than will rest upon tho action of this, in many important respects. I hope .it will be the pleaipare, as it certainly is the duty of every organization entitled to participate, to avail itself of- the privilege. The constituent bodies which have appointed or may bereaf, ter appoint representatives will please notify the Secretary, Chas, W. Greene, Jackson, Tennessee, who will in due time advise them of the subjects to be presented for consideration at the meeting. • John P. Reynolds, Pres. Nat’l Ag’l Congress. —;- - * One of the most interesting devel opments of the United States census is the information given concerning the niany "and varied occupations fol lowed by the working women of the country In the list we notice 5 steam boiler-makers, 4 bell-founders, 2 hunters and trappers, 1 architect, 5 charcoal and lime burners, 32. com mercial-travelers, 2 hostlers, 1 pilot, 07 preachers, 1,495 printers, 9,642 sh e-makers, 5,580 teachers of music, 46 miners, 90,480 milliners and dress makers,- 1,814 cigar-makers, 6,191 clerks in stores, 373,332 laborers on farms, 2,775 safes'*women, 35 sawmill workers, 3 shippers and freighters, and so on to the end. Who dare say that women do not have their rights itf this country ? Appropos, we take the fol lowing from a copy of the London' Fun : “Ob, Law ! One hundred wo-- men are said to be studying law in American colleges This is a terrible prospect! Can not they be persuad ed to choose medicine instead ? Y\ e would rathe- have them look at pur tongues than have to listen to theirs ” If the author of this ever be found in the United states be had better steer clear of those law students. — Ex. * jt"- - * | This neat and appropriate obituary notice appears in the Louisville Couri er-Jnurnai; “Died, in Washington recently, a little orphan boy named Givil-Sei vice Reform, who was appren ticed to the President last tall, just be fore the election.

(From the Griffin Temperanoe Watchman.) The Great Temperance Move ment—A Grand Union of all tho Temperanoe People of Georgia, in Macon, on the 7th of May- A convention of delegates from ten Southern States, representing sis Temperance Orders, assembled in Chattanooga, Tenuesaee, on the 22d of January, 1873, and formed a new Temperance Order, .to be known as ‘‘The United Friends of 'Temperance,” This uew Order was erected upon the following basis of union ; I. Only white people shall be cligi. hi* to membership in this Order 11. The Pledge of the Order shall beiiinding during membership in the Ordef; but a Degree is provided for all who desire to take tho pledge for. life. These degrees are related to each other as the Masters and Royal Arch degrees in masonry. 111. Each State sha ! be supreme m its own jurisdiction, except as to Rituals ad Signs, which must be in' common, and is therefore vested in the Supreme Council of tire whole Or der. IY. The Pledge shall include all “alcoholic liquors, whether fermented, brewed or distilled,” Y. No pi litical parly discussions, or sectarianism, shall bo allowed ia the Orders Neither shall the Order have anything to do with prohibitory legislation. Regarding that as a- mat-* ter for each Citizen to pass upon as a citizen, it will steer clear of its agita tion. This new Order, which is entirely congenial to the tastes of our Southr ern people, is spreading rapidly all over our sunny land ; and in Georgia, has already, in the short space of three months, run up to nearly 70 Councils. MACON CONVENTION. • The Grand Council will assemble-in Macon, on 7th of May, to perfect the Order. All the railroads in Georgia will pass delegates at one fare'going, aod home free on certificate of Secre tary. .'flip, Lanier Rouse-has also re duced rates to oneshalf for the occa sion; . CITIZENS COUNCIL. Any ten white citizens, it* any por tion of.Georgia, can meet, adopt the above basis, and send their delegates to this convention. Books, &c., will be distributed to all such. Let every community send up a delegate, that the entire State may be represented inf this great -Temperance movement.— 1 Intemperance, like a canker, is cor rupting the life-blood of our ablest and best, and it becomes all good men to band against this terrible agent of the c vil one. The i , forward to Madon, stnd let us reason together. The time is short let us work quickly. For the Grand Council. W. E H. Searcy, Grand Scribe, Griffin, Ga. The Tolling Wife!. There is no little truth in the fol * lowing, which we cut from an ex change' : A farmer’s wife on a largo farm, with six or eight children of all ngeiSj from nineteen to two years of age, has without help, a toilsome life of it—a life of hard labor. She is generally the first up in (he morning and to bed last at night, toiling incessantly from eaily dawn till late in the evening.- The mother ai.-d wife, on a large farm, with a large family, most of whom a greater portion of the year go to school, has a laborious life of it—much more husband and father.— No wonder so many of them are bro ken down in health at for,ty years tf age, literally worn Out with toil.— What wonderment* then, that so many of the best wives are peevish and cross. What some of them pass through is enough to sour the disposi tion ofao angel. Salvation is not a thing of chance, or left to man’s .]jj!l or power, but it was contrived by the blessed Trinity in the covenant of grace, and every thing belonging to it was perfectly settled. The forgers who defrauded the Bank of England have had but short good lock. Austin Bidwell was arres ted in Havana, George Mac Donnell in New York, George Bidwell in Edin burg. Fortunately tbe authorities were able to lay their hands on tbe clerk Noyes, and be became faint-, hearted, and turned State’s evidence at onee. NO. IS\
