g-vt* other surety, if they would do it at
once. To this they replied, proposing to give
other eeod and miflicient sun tv within a
resonable time, i!' be would give them the
lease. But they specified uo surety they
could or would give. They were unable to
name, or, at lc-ast did net name a solitary
person or company who would go upon
tk.-'ir bond.
They had trifled with the Executive, iti
the first instance, by naming sureties that
they had no authority to tender, and could
not give. And when, in violation of our
just rights they were&llowid to name other
security, thereby changing the shape of
their bid, after the time allowed them and
us bad expired, they were still unable to
name any individual or company on earth
who would back them and become responsi
ble on their bond, for their performance of
a proposition so preposterous as their bid—
one that every practical railroad man in
Georgia knows it was at all probable they
could comply with and leave any chance for
profits, taking all the chances for loss by the
cause above alluded to.
Under these circumstances, the Governor's
partiality for Seago and BloJgetts’s compa
ny gave way to his sense of justice and ob
hgations ; and awarded the lease to the on
ly cornpauy that was legally or justly enti
tled to it by compliance with the requirements
to which bidders were bound to conform
Messrs. Seago and Blodgett’s company had
fair notice, therefore, and a fair chance. —
They had two full months to make up their
bid, and find sureties who would go on their
bond. They wholly tailed to do so, and did
net then, and so far as 1 am informed, never
to this day, tendered a single person or
company of any name or description who
was willing to sign their bond, or had au
thorized them to make any such use of their
name, er names, on such a risk.
What reason had the Governor for confid
ing in the promise of that company to give
good security within a reasonable time, if
he would award the lease to them, when
they had been unable to find security after
two month’s notice, and had attempted to
deceive the Executive of tl 3 State by ten
dering names which they had uo authority
to do so? What might they consider rea
sonable time? And when could the lease
have been consummated ? It was the inter
est of the State that the road be leased. It
was the duty of the Governor to lease it.—
The time had come when he had given no
tice to the world that ho would lease it.—
AVo had complied with all the requirements
of the law and the notice. No other compa
ny had. What was his duty? There can
be but one reply. And iu the discharge of
that duty he was guilty of ineither unjust, fa- i
voritism nor utter disregard of the interest i
of the State.-
Had these facts been before you, I know
you too well, to believe you would have pub- i
liahed your last lelter, which will be con- |
etrued by the public as an attack upon the j
fairness of the lease, the effect of which, is
to do serious injustice to your friends. My
complatnt is, that you acted hastily, without
taking time to inform yourself. VVhile I
recognize your undoubted right, with the
consent of the proper authority, on behalf
of the State, to withdraw from the company,
I protest that you should not have
done so, and thrown tho weight of your
name in the opposite scale under ciiciuu-
Biances calculated to prejudice its right un
justly, by making an erroneous car parte
statement in a matter involving alike the
interest and honor your associates.
When the time comes for investigation be
fore the proper tribunal, I shall be prepar
ed to show by undoubted evidence, that the
charge of unfairness aud attempted corrup
tion which has been made in certain papers,
lies not at my door, nor the door of my com
pany. but, that it. fastens upon the very par
ty claiming the higher bid, and charging the
unjust favoritism towards us, which those of
them now most clamorous were ready to
have purchased, had it been possible to
have done so.
Whether the bid of a sum more tbam. *i\y
company can keep «p tbo road, ami J*ay,
w ii u any hope of income was resorted to, by
Messrs. Seago, Blodgett and their associates,
a-t a means of getting possession of that
great State work, with the view to ask relief
from a future Legislature on their failure to
comply, I have no right to say.
I can speak, however, for the company
over which I preside. It is composed, as
you know, of men of enlarged experience
aud extensive business connections and
qualifications, whose integrity, as a whole,
you cannot, question, with ample means to
enable it to put the road iu good order, and
keep it bo, and to accommodate the busi
ness and traveling public. We are cautious
to promise nothing but what we are abund
antly able to comply with. And here let
me say, once for all, that I am as much de
termined as you can be, to have nothing to
do with any company or association of indi
viduals that acts in bad faith to the people
of the State, or falls to carry out in the
etrictest good faith, in letter and spirit, the
contract into which they have entered. So
long as I have the management of the affairs
of the Western and Atlantic Railroad Com
pany, I shall see to it that faith is kept and
the contract is carried out, not only iu the
whole, but in all its parts and in every par
ticular.
As 1 informed you in advance I was de
termined to be a party to no bid that I was
not prepared to stand by in sunshine and in
storm, nor to promise anything that I did
not know I could perform. My rule with all
is, to stand by my contracts, public and
private, and carry them out with prompt
ness and good faith. My bitterest enemy
eau sustain no allegation to the contrary.
Such is my intention, and such theintcution
of my associates tn this case.
As the act of the Legislature makes it the
duty of the Governor to lease the road and
all its appurtenances, and makes no provision
for the State to own or hold auy share or in
terest in it, and as you refuse to retain yaur
position as a lessee, and surrender your in
terest back to the State, it will be the duty
of the Governor to substitute someone in
your place equally honest, as a meaiber of
the company, who will be willing to take the
share which was awarded to you iu the writ
tin lease with its risks and resnoueibilititw,
loss the p&i't you have already assigned to
Mr. S. K. Johnson under the arrangement at
the time the lease was made.
It is a little remarkable that prior to the
late elections, as you have well shown by
your first publication, the whole State seem
ed to be agreed that the public interest
would be served by the lease of the road to
a solvent company at $25,000 per month, —
Scarcely a dissenting voice was heard. But
us soon as it is seen that there is a prospect
that another political party may get control
and have the patronage and the use o:t‘ the
funds, nothing that has been done is right
or fair. The people in making up a judg
ment in this matter may do well to consider
wlmther their interest will be served by re
taining the road as heretofore, as the prey
of each new swarm of hungry place seekers,
who attend the inauguration of each new ad
ministration of the State Government. My
own opinion is, in the present condition of
our affairß it matters little which party con
trols the road; there will, in neither case,
be much fer the Treasury under political
management.
So tar then from being public robbers, as
some, for political effect, and with the hope
of gain, have said, w# are public benefac
tors.
Take the r.oad for the last twenty-five
years, and calculate the amounts paid into
t'ue&tjate Treasury from it, and the amounts
paid out by the Stale to keep it in repair,
and what, has it been worth to the people J
There was a period of a few years when it
paid reasonable dividends to ih« State, but
all the rest of the lime it has been a dead
expense. This has been true of different
administrations entertaining different politi-
cal opinions. And all must adroit that it
would “not do better in future under politi
cal management, than it has done in the
past.
The State now has the bond of a company
of undoubted ability, with unquestionable
surety, that she will get six millions of dol
lars in cash, paid into her Treasury in
monthly instalments, for the use of the road
for twenty years, and that it will be return
ed in as good condition in every respect as
it new is
The State lax pa : d by the people of Geor
gia for the last two years, has been
per annum. The road now will pay three
fifths of that sum. Which is the best for the
people? I leave them to judge. The true
reason for the clamor of certain lawyers and
politicians in the citato is, not that the inter
est of the people is not protected in this con
tract, but that their own individual inter
ests have not been served. They wanted a
“finger in the pie.” They did not get it,
and they are jealous for fear by good man
agement we may meet our obligations to the
State and make something to compensate for
the risk we run in doing this great public
service.
I probably owe you an apology for the
length of this letter, but I have felt that your
action puts me in n situation where it is raj
duty to myself and to my associates to make
this statement, aud to give to it the publicity
which you have given to your reasons for
your withdrawal from the company. I re
gret the necessity, but I feel that you have
left me no other alternative.
I ask it, as an act of justice to me and the
company I represent, that such papers as
publish your statements will publish this re
ply. lam informed that all the papers in
the Executive office pertaining to this affair
will be made public in a few days. I trust it
may be so, aud hope the press will generally
copy them, as I wish the people to have all
the facts.
I am, very respectfully,
your obedient servant,
Joseph E. Bbown.

Reduce Your Cotton Crop.
Tis said that figures will not lie; per
haps so; perhaps not; at all events let
as go into some calculations, and see
how they will turn out. If the prem
ises are correct, and there be no error
in the additions, we shall be able to
come to pretty fair and just conclusions,
and can govern ourselves accordingly.
We will, if you please, take three farms
of two hundred acres each, of open,
eultivatable l -.nd, and work them in
three different ways, taking tho prices
of 71, both for corn, cotton, and wheat,
and labor, as the basis of our estimate.
First, then, we will put the price of
cotton of all grades, good, bad, and in
different, at 12 cts: wheat at one dol
lar. We will now hire tho labor, and
buy the agricultural implements, and
proceed to the work. A. intends to
make as large a crop of cotton as pos
sible, and manures it well with com
mercial fertilizers. Ha divides off his
land into three several parts, and
assigns one hundred acres to cotton,
fifty acrea to corn, aud fifty acres to
wheat. Being desirous of making as
much cotton as possible, he puts gu
ano on the cotton field, at the rate of
one ton to every sis acres, less by a
good deal than many apply. .Assum
ing Lhe last year as a criterion, it would
be safe to say that he will make an av
erage of 800 pounds to the acre, thus
giving him 80,000 pounds of seed cot
ton, which, yielding upon a fair aver
age, twenty-seven pounds of lint to the
cwt., aud you have a crop of 21,600
pounds of clean cotton, (which, by the
way, we venture, is more than will be
made, which, sold at 12 cts., pr. pound,
the now ruling price, (and who can
say that as things are, it will ever be
bight r,) and you have, in clean cash,
for cotton sold, $2,952. Next, he rais
es on tho fifty acres in corn, 3 barrels
pr. acre, making seven hundred and
fifty bushels, which, at present prices,
65 cts. pr. bushel, will give him $507,-
50. On the fifty acres of wheat land,
we will say that he raises 10 bushels to
the acre, 500 bushels, making at sl. a
bushel, $500.00, making tho total sum
of money in hand, from sale of crop
$3599.50.
Ten hands, with board for the year,
at sls pr. month, will give us the sum
of SIBO, guano 1 ton to 6 acres,
per ton, SI,OOO, and agricultural im
plements, together with Blacksmith’s
bill, the further sum of SIOO, making
in all, the expense list of $2,900.
Here we have
Money in hand from salo of crop $3,599.50
Expenses, $2,900.00
Net proceeds of year’s labor, $ 699.59
B. intends to make as much cotton
ns possible, and having the same quan
tity of land, and the same number of
hands, he plants in like manner with
his neighbor, putting 100 acres in cot
ton, 50 in corn, and 50 in wheat, but
purchases no fertilizers. It would,
perhaps, be safe to say that he will have
a yield of 500 pounds of seed cotton
to the acre, making|in all, about 50,-
000 lbs which, at 27 pounds net cot
ton to the cwt., will give 13,500 pounds
of net cotton, which, at 12 cts. per lb.,
will yield him in cash, $1,620. His
corn will be the same in quantity, as
also his wheat, as in the case of A.,
$507.50, for corn, and SSOO for wheat.
Let us aee the result. Cash for cot
ton sold, $1,620; cash for corn, $605.50;
Cash for wheat, $500; making the sum
total, $2,627-50.
His expenses for labor are the same
as A,, SIBO, fertilizers nothiug, and
blacksmith s bill, and agricultural iin
plements, SIOO, making in all $1,900,
which, deduct from the gross proceeds
of his crop, and you have luff as the rt
sult of the year’s labor, the sum ot
$727.50
C. likewise goas to wo: k on the same
quantity of land, but addresses himself
to the making a provision crop, iu the
main, supported by a small area of
land in cotton. lie hires 5 hands, in
stead of 10, puts in 70 acres fur corn,
25 acres in cotton, and the balance in
wheat, which last, he can easily man
age, with a litll additional help and
expeuse at harvest. He makes, as be
fore, thiee barrels of corn pr. acre, or
1125 bushels, which, at 65 cts pr bush,
gives him $731.25. Ho can easily ma
nure from his stables and lots, the 25
acres in cotton, and this yields him, at
800 pounds to the acre, 16000 pounds
of seed cotton, or at the same rate, of
allowance as before, 4320 pounds of
lint, which, at 30 cents per pound,
(which increased price is brought about
by the small quantity of cot.on .raised
on our idea,) will give him the sain ol
$1,296. The 100 acres of wheat as be
fore at 10 bushels to the acre, will give
him 1000 bushels, which at $1 per.
bush., yields him SI,OO0 —ins yearly
proceeds of crop thus amounting to the
sum of $3,027.25. From this sum de
duct the expenses of the farm, to-wit;
5 hands at sls each pr month, for the
year, making S9OO, and S3O for agri
cultural implements and blacksmith’s
bill, and you have left as his clear pro
ceeds, the sum of two thousand aud
ninety-seven dollars and twenty-five
cents. How then does it stand?
a. with 10 hand aud guano has made $ 699.50
B. “ “ “ “ no “ “ “ i 127.50
C. with 5 hands and stable manure, for
his 2o acres of cotton has made 2097,25
It may be that there is some error
in the emulation here made, but if it
at all approximates the truth, we think
that our case is fully made out., and
practical wisdom must sanction its
adoption. But here we close these ar
ticles upon this most interesting and
all important subject, asking for it the
closest scrutiny of all thoughtful minds,
and immediate action on the part of
all our people. The Agricultural As
sociations of Alabama are about to
meet very soon at Montgomery, to de
vise some measures in the benefit of
the planting interests of the planting
interests of that State. The Geoogia
Agricultural Association also assembles
in February, at Macon, and we earnest
ly invoke on their part, such proceed
ing as may carry out the views indeav
ored to be set forth by the writer of
the foregoing articles, ending in the
Reduction of the Cotton Crop.
I well remember a case of this
kind that occurred in the village of my
residence. There was a Virginia gen
tleman there. He grew up in the days
of the old-fashioned Virginia horse ra
cing and card playing, with small bet
tings, so as to take them out of the
gambler’s ring, and yet be the spice
of the game. He was a lawyer by
profession, and a gentleman by birth.
But card playing, small betting, with
wine drinking, had become his ideal of
a Virginia gentleman. At his card
table in a law office, where these gen
tlememen hid themselves away for pet
ty gaming and wine drinking, death,
in the form of deadly paralysis, struck
my friend Maj. M , and when I
got to his card table and wine room,
in his death struggle, as he saw me he
exclaimed, “Great *od! Doctor, what
a place this is for a gentleman to die
in!” But the vital question is, will a gen
tleman, a real gentleman, (for oar idea
is thata real gentleman cannot be found
inside of a card playing, wine drink
ing club association,) ever voluntarily
place himself, and especially habitually
do so, in a position where he cannot
die as a gentleman ? No one feeling
the true inspiration of a gentleman will
voluntarily place himself where, if sud
den death cut him off, no one can say
“he died a gentleman,” because he died
in a circle, voluntarily chosen, which*
in its moral level, was far below the
element and employments which con
stitute a real gentleman. The inspira
tion of this noble style of manhood
can never range below the practical
sense of the poet’s prayer:
‘J» or ever let me dare to be
ftucta as i dare not die.’
To live below the essential laws and
proprieties of a gentleman’s or Chris
tian’s life, and claim either as an inher
itance, is supremely ridiculous. And
all you Methodists that run after the
lust of your eyes, at those horse race
Fairs, if you would be afraid to falj
down dead there, because of the place
where death found you, you sin if you
go there Dr. Lovick Pierce.
The New York Herald declares
that Grant’s only hope for continuance
in power is to get up something bold
and startling. If he does not accom
plish this purpose of pandering to this
passion of the Yankee heart, the Hr
ald thinks the popular mind will seek
vent in “a political revolution, and an
other reconstruction of the United
States, beginning with the shortest
method of settling the national debt.”

A Grand Florida Fish Entkrprize.—
A German gentleman named Coombs
has located himself at a point below
New Smyrna, in Florida, and, we learn,
proposes to engage in the manufacture
of fish guano on an extensive scale, and
with heretofore comparatively unheard
of appliances. Mr. Coombs has a large
supply of peculiar torpedoes, which are
worked by electricity; whenever a
school of fish approach, the torpedoe is
exploded, and the result of the whole
sale massacre goes into the grinding
mill of the manufacturer. This meth
od may be a lucrative one, but it seems
as if the fisheries of the coast would
not sustain such whlesale depletion.—
It i hould be looked into, although thi
State laws, if we are correctly informed
offer no protection against the evil.—
Aug. Chron.
Efficacy of Forms.— Rev. Henry
Ward Beecher has recently declared
that he is willing to baptize a person
fifty times if the repetition of the cere
mony will do the subject any good. —
The offer is practically a very innocent
one, because the repetition being of no
advantage, will not be attempted; but
the offer, in its association, has an air
of flippancy which does not commend
it to our sense of propriety. Com
menting on this remark, the German
Reformed Messenger tells of an old la
dy who followed up an Episcopal bish
op as he travelled on errands of con
firmation through his diocese, and who
was confirmed sevetal times before she
was detected. She withed the orAli
nance repeated, because she had un
derstood it was “good for the rheuma
tism.” With all her folly, was she not
wiser than those who look to outward
forms of the healing of diseased souls.
Carey Cox, of tfiis county (

no of Cromwell s friends was a
fretting Christian, to whom everything
went wrong and portended disaster. —
One day, when unusually fretful, his
sensible servant said: “Master, don’t
you think that God governed the world
very well before you came into it?”
“Yes; but why do you ask?’ “Don’t
you think he will govern it very well
when you are out of it ?” “Yes! but
why do you ask ?” “Well, then, can’t
you trust Him to govern it for the lit
tle time you are in it ?” That shot kill

This Weight of Women’s Clothing.—
A writer in Good Health says that the
average weight, all the year round, of
that portion of a woman’s clothiug
which is supported from the waist is
between ten and fifteen pounds; and
that if a woman was sentenced to car
ry such a weight about iu this way for
a number of years, for some great
crime, the punishment would be de
nounced as an inhuman one: yet thou
sands of women daily endure such a
punishment voluntarily, because it is
the custom, aud because they do not
know the bad effects likely ta follow it.
The writer earnestly counsels women
not to adopt an attire similar to that
worn by men, but to have their cloth
ing suspended from the shoulders, by
which dangerous pressure ou abdomi
nal muscles would be avoided.
JDuring the late cold snap about
Christmas time numbers of fish in the
waters of the Sound and in the bayous
froze to death. We heard of a hunt

home a boat load of frozen trout, red
fish and sheephead.— Bay St. Louis Ga
