Special Correspondence of the Georgia
Citizen.
Pan Handle, May 30th, 1860.
At early dawn on the morning of the
28th instant, upwards of thirty thousand
anxious and excited spectators, your cor
respondent included, assembled on the
spot where the great “mill’’ spoken of in
my last letter was to transpire.
Appearance of the Men.
The Magnesia Boy was first in the ring
with his seconds and appeared as bloom
ing as a rose. He was dtessed in nankeen
pants, with a Blue flannel overcoat, straw
hat and a pair of spurs. Pluggins soon
arrived, clad in India Rubber clothing
and wore an immense brass breast plate
weighing 48 pounds. The combatants
stepped nimbly into-the ring and kissed
each other, while the seconds tossed a
button—not having a dime about them—
for the position. Pluggins won the toss
and immediately
The .men assuaied their respective
STANDS.
Ist Round. —The Boy parried with his
left and let fly a right hander which miss
ed Pluggins pocket book about a foot, and
so disconcerted him that he retired to liis
corner and took a chew of tobacco. [SOO
to 1 on the Boy.—]
2d Round. —Pluggins came handsomely
to time and after a few feints struck out
right and left, the Boy dexterously man
aging to avoid blows. More feints when
Pluggins stumped his toe against a root
and fell very hard to the ground. The
Boy immediately took a seat upon the
body of his prostrate victim and com
mence i reading a copy of Walker’s
“Champion.” First knock down for the
Boy.—[2ooo to 2on tlie Boy.]
3d Round. —Time being called, both
men came to the stand. Pluggins ad
vanced upon the Bov and struck him a
left hander on a pocket in which he had
a bottle of red ink. The bottle flew inro
fragments, and the insane crowd, yelled
first blood Pluggins. The Boy bleeding
profusely from his pocket, was carried to
his corner and sponged off.- -[2 to 1 on
Pluggins.]
4 th Round. —The Boy slow to time.—
Pluggins very much excited. Parrying
and feinting on botli sides. The Boy got
in a left hander and knocked Pluggins
hat off. Pluggins dragged himself slowly
to his corner and had his hat replaced on
his head. [Cries cf “where’s Pluggins
new.]
s in Round. —Pluggins brought to his
position in a wheel-barrow. His hat was
very much damaged. The Boy came
boldly up and with scarcely an offort,
knocked a hole in Pluggins’ hat which
completely confounded him, and he crawl
ed to his corner and had his hat sponged
off. | Shouts of “Go it my Magneash”—
“I am betting on you” “Give him fits”
&c., &c.
6 th Round. —The Boy all right. Plug
gins hat very much swollen. Caution on
both sides for a while when both were
clinched and fell. While down, Pluggins
took some crackers and cheese from his
fiocket and very calmly partook of lunch.
Cries oi ‘ go in Pluggins”—who’s afraid,”
& c.
7 th Round. —Pluggins hat very much
better and generally refreshed. Boy look
ing fatigued. Pluggins retired to the
ropes and threw a brick at the Boy which
knocked him off his pins and fractured one
of his spurs, when ho was taken to bis
corner. [This round created immense ex
citement.]
B th Round. —Both men slow to time.
Pluggins bleeding from the hat and the
Boy eyeing Pluggins very close struck at
him with his left hand aud spit in his face
which brought Pluggins to the ground.
[2OOO to 1 on the Boy.]
9th Round.— Similar to the last one only
more so—Betting extraordinary on the
Boy.
10 th Round.— Pluggins very furious
rushed on tbe Boy aud tore off his coat
tail. The Boy mangled and bleeding from
the effects of this round was carried to
bis corner on two straws: [Cries of foul
play—&c.
11M Round. —The Boy gaining strength
came handsomely up and struck out with
his left at Pluggins hat, which he. missed
but killed two horses standing by. Plug
gins down.
12/h Round. —Both men in good spirits
Pluggins struck out with bis right and
the Boy caught his fist in his teeth, hold
ing it there. Pluggins drew a dried her
ring from his breast pocket with the evi
dent intention of stabbing the Boy bat
was prevented from so doing. Another
tarry and the Boy down. [Hurra for
lnggins.|
13/A Round. —Both men appeared tired
of the amusement and felt like asking each
other’s pardon. The Boy opened his
mouth and Pluggins fell very hard to the
ground. [“Three cheers for tbe Mag
neash.'*]
14/A Round. —Men came to time slowly.
Pluggins stooned to get a brick and the
Boy down. [SO to lon Plnggins.]
15/A Rcmmd. —The Boy crying took his
i position and waited for Pluggins to ap
i proaeh. Plnggins eamc up and whispered
GREENESBORO’, GEORGIA, WEDNESDAY MORNING, JUNE 20, 1860.
in the Boys ear. Both men down. [Yells
of “where’s de Magneasli now.’.J
The fight continued from the 15th to
the 168th round without auy marked dif
ference.
269/A Round —Both men down. This
round was very severely contested and for
a time fears were entertained that both
men had gone to sleep. Second interfer
ed and carried their men to the corners.
|Exclamations of “they’re some on the
muscle.”]
270/A Round. —Tears streamed down
the faces of both men as they came to
time. The Boy was in the act of wiping
his face with his coat sleeve, when Plug
gins mistaking it for a blow fell to the
ground. [One million to lon the Boy.]
271*/ Round. —Night closed in when
this round was being fought and the im
mense concourse of people together with
tho seconds and friends of the parties re
tired from the field and left the combat
ants alone in their glory, to terminate the
battle as they felt disDOsed.
The scene of battle presented on the
following morning a most ghastly specta
cle. There upon the cold ground,
locked in each others emhrace, lay the
two brave men dead—Yus dead!—dead
drunk.
I have witnessed many, very many
scenes that would freeze the life-blood
“hanow up the soul” and make one's
“hail stand on the end like quills on the
fretful porcupine” See., See., See., but I
hope in the future to be spared such ail
exhibition as this and that never again ill
I be compelled to recount to your readers i
another such brutal and bloody scene as
transpired on yesterday.
COWARD.
What Douglas said cf Lincoln.
Lincoln commenced life in an humble
position, working for his living as a fiat
boatman studying in the meanwhile for
admission to the bar. It was not till 185S
that he became more generally known in
politics. In that year he was an opposi
tion candidate to3l'\ Douglas for the U.S.
Senate, and on that cmorable event he
canvassed (he e.itire State, going into eve
ry (Jointly where Mr. Douglas went, and i
attaekting his popular sovereignty notions
with vigor. The canvass was a very per
sonal one, and some of tho hardest blows
dealt to the “Little Giant” were adminis
tered by Mr. Lincoln. Douglas, in this
personal controversy, gave back as good
as he received. In one of these encoun
ters he gives the following sketch of his
opponent, Mr. Lincoln, which is amusing,
and, in the absence of more authentic in
formation respecting him, will probably
seive to enlighten the public as to Mr. L’s
previous history'. Mr. Douglas said.
. “In the remarks which 1 have made
upon this platform, and the position of Mr.
Lincoln upon it. I mean nothing personal,
disrespectful or unkind to that gentleman;
I have known him for pearly twenty-five
years. We had many points of sympathy
when I first got acquainted with him. We
were both comparatively boys; both strug
gling with poverty in a strange town for
our support —1. an humble school teacher
in the town of Winchester, and he a flour
ishing grocery keeper it. the town of Sa
lem. [Laughter ] He was more success
ful in occupation than 1, and hence became
more fortunate in this world's goods. Mr.
Lincoln is one of those peculiar men that
performed with admirable skill in eve
ry occupation he ever attempted. I made
as good a school teacher as I could, and
when a cabinet maker I made the best
beadsieads and tables, but my old boss
said I succeeded better in bureaus and
secretaries than in any thing else. | Laugh
ter.] But I believe that Mr. Lincoln was
more successful in his business than I, for
his business soon carried him directly*into
the Legislature. There I met him in a
little time, and I had a sympathy fur him
because of the up-hill struggle we had in
life. |Cheers and laughter.] He was then
as good at telling an anecdote as now.
He could beat any of the boys at wrestling,
could outrun them at footrace, beat them
pitching quoits and tossing a copper, and
could win more liquor than all the boys
put together, [laughter and cheers,] and
the dignity and impartiality with which
he presided at a horse-race or a fist fight,
were the praise of everybody that was
present and participated. [Renewed laugh
ter ] Hence I bad a sympathy for him,
because he was struggling with misfortune,
and so was I. Mr. Lincoln served with
me, or I with him, iir the Legislature of
1836, when we parted. He subsided or
submerged for some years, and 1 lost sight
of him. In 184% when Wilmot raised the
Wilinot proviso tornado, Mr. Lincoln
agai, turned up as a member of Congress I
from Sangamon District. 1, being in the
Senate of the United States, was called
on to welcome him, then Without friend or
companion. He then distinguished him
self by his opposition to the Mexican war,
taking the side of the common enemy in
time of war against hia own country
[Cheers and groans.| When he returned
home from that Congress, he found thai
the indignation of the people followed him
everywhere, until he again retired to pri
vate life, and was submerged until he was
again forgotten by his friends. He ramc
up again in 1854, in time to make tbe Abo
lition Blackßepublican platform, In com-
pany with Lovejoy, Giddings, Chase and
Fred. Douglas, for the Republican party
to stand upon. Trumbull, too was one ct
our own contemporaries.”
Sub-Soiling autl Deep Tillage.
Various opinions are entertained bymen
of science, in regard to the tillage of the
soil, with reference to season, depth, Sec.
As one, I have always been in favor of
stirring the soil as deep as it is possible to
do it uniformly and leave it in a condition
to be thoroughly pulverized by the harrow
or Jack Frost, before receiving tbe seed.
Clayey soils need deeper tillage, as with
sub-soiling, to permit the surface water to
settle down or run off, than those of a
gravely or loamy nature. Wherever the
sub-soil is of that tenacity to retain water
on its surface for any length of time after
the frost is out of the ground, and the
giound settled, the sub-soil should be bro
ken to a sufficient depth to assist the sur
face m becoming uniformly dry, that the
plow might be started as soon as spring
opens with her warm days and gentle
breezes.
I have lately been at work on a piece
of land that formerly was 100 wet to pro
duce good pasture, from the effects of sur
face water, Sub-soil, a stiff gravelly clay.
It was broken up in the fall of 1856, eight
inches deep, with a sod plow, and sub-soil
ed with a Hart field plow, ten inches below
the bottom of the other furrow. This was
something like work, yet tlie result has
been more than satisfactory. The piece
contained five acres and ninety rods. One
i acre was plowed eight inches with a sod
plow, and not sub-soiled. In 1857 the en
tire piece was planted with corn. Through
the season a marked difference was visible
and that in favor ot sub-soiling. The corn
came up quicker by about two days, was
larger when hoed, and much better eared
when harvested. It was full one-quarter
better as per quantity and quality. In 1858
it was again planted in part with corn and
potatoes, and in part sowed with barley;
the result, as the year before. In 1859,
three acres sown to oats and seeded, and
two acres and-ninety rods in meadow.—
Notwithstanding the frost in June, the
grass was more than an average crop on
the sub-soiled part, while on that plowed
w[tli sod plow alono it was not an average
crop. The oats showed again a dividing
line—not as heavy, aiqr yielding as much
seed per acre as thar s pait that had been
sub-soiled.
While working on this piece of ground, i
March 23, 1860, with a train and wagon, I
judged the part sub-soiled was dry enough
for plowing, should such a thing Le deemed
practicable, while the other was quite too
wet, and water standing on it in Sfveral
places. Men may preach that such plow
ing will exhaust the soil in a few years;
they may preach, but I shall follow my
experience, which teaches me better, until
“Convinced against my will,” I shall be
“of tlie same opinion still.”
Perhaps your readers may say I am* too
set in my wav. Perhaps not. Experience
is tlie best of teachers, in the spring of
1858, I sub soiled the half as a four acre
lot to be planted with corn, of a loose, loa
my. gravelly soil, with a gravelly sub-soil,
ten inches below the sod furrow tvrned
eight inches, and the result was visible to
every passer-by through the entire season,
and more marked at harvest, the ears being
larger, better-filled, and yielding move than
one-quarter more to the acre. In 1859,
the field was sown in barley, wheat, oats,
and peas, and a dividing line was again
visible through the entire field. These
fields were sub-soiled bat once. The gold
of the soil lies deep—therefore, we must
dig deep, plow deep, pulverize thoroughly,
and in season; then wq shall realize our
expectations. 11. A. Whittkmore.

Komaaiic Affair.
A young lady, beautiful in person and
attractive in manner, w'ho resided in the
immediate vicinity of Boston, was sought
in marriage some years ago by two men.—
Olio of these was poor, and a mechanic.—
The other was rich, and not a mechanic.
The woman loved the former; the family
of the woman liked the latter. As is the
casein such affairs, the woman married to
please tier friends- Having thus “sold
herself,” she ought to have been miserable,
but she was not. Her husband’s unaffected
love subdued her heart, and his gold
smoothed the rough places in the human
path. Fortune, feeling that this couple
were too happy, fnjwned, and the man’s
riches took wings and used them in flight.
Thereupon the husband wound up his bus
iness, put his wife and children, of whom
there were two, at a comfortable boarding
house, and then departed for California in
search of money, Some letters and some
remittances arrived from him at first, then
nothing came, and there was a blank of
several yoarp. The wife thought herself
deserted. The family, whose good opinion
of the husband had not lately been so of
ten published, tokl her that it was clearly
a ease for a divorce. When she had been
well aecnstorried to the sound of this un
pleasaut word, the disconsolate wife was
thrown into the society of tho mechanic
level, now prosperous, and still unmarried.
The memory of her early, real love cainc
upon her, and she believed! with a secret
1 jov thn* !i<* had remained single for lift
sake. This thought nourished her affec
tion, and at last she obtained a divoice from
her husband, who had deserted her, and
remained absent beyond the time allowed
by the statute. This accomplished, there
was no barriei between her and the me
chanic of her youth. She informed him
that she was his forever, when he should
choose to claim her hand. Her feelings
could not have been pleasant to learn that,
since his rejection by her and her marriage
to another, the unromantic hewer ot wood
had drowned his passion for her in the
waves of time, and that at the time of her
handsome offer lie no longer palpitated for
her. In fact, Barkis was not willin’. Ae
if all this were not embarrassing enough,
who should turn up but the husband, who
made his appearance in the form of a letter,
announcing that he liadaccumulated a daz
zling pile of wealth, that be was on his way
home, and that she was to meet him in N.
York. The letter also chid her for neglect
in not writing to him for yearg, and it was
clear that he had sent assurances of love
and also material aid at intervals during
his absence ; where these had gone no one
knows. 1 lero, then was trouble. No hus
band, no lover. The one she had divorced;
the i ther had refused her. Taking coun
sel with herself, she packed her trunk, see
ing that her wardrobe was unexceptionable,
and came to the metropolis. She met the
coining man on his arrival, and told him
the whole story as correctly as she, natur
ally prejudiced in favor ot the defendant,
could tell it. The husband scowled, growl
ed, looked at the charming face and the
becoming toilette, remembered California
and its loneliness, and took her to his heart.
A clergyman was summoned, a marriage
was performed, and anew volume in their
life's history was opened.
Carrots,
Let us remind our readers again of the
value of carrots Two bushels of oats
and one of Carrots, are better fool fora
horse than three bushels of oats; and when
used for light work the quantity of car
rots may be increased and that of the oats
diminished. With such food horses will
enjoy good health and spiriis, loose hide
and shining coat, and improved digestion.
The usual method of feeding horses with
oats neither giound nor crushed, is wrong ;
oats fed whole are seldom thoroughly di
gested ; being held in suspension with large
amounts of water, the peristalic motion of
the intestines cannot take hold of them,
and thus we find in the dung of the horse
whole oats, and large quantities of the
starch of the oats, which the horse has fail
ed to appropriate. This is never the case
when carrots are fed with outs, for the pec
tic acid of tho carrots has the power of
gelatinizing the contents of the stomach,
thus enabling the process of digestion to
be more perfect. The value of carrots
docs not consist altogether in the amount
of nutriment they furnish, but in enabling
the horses to appropriate a larger propor
tion of’ nutriment contained in the hay and
oats. The dung of the horse so fed pre
sents np whole oats, but is homogeneous
in its character, while he is sustained with
less amonnt of grain and hay.
The Bene plant has similar properties ;
a thin slice of this plant thrown into a
glass of water, renders it ropy and gelatin
ous, and for this reason it is a specific for
summer complaint for children.
For fattening animals carrots are equal
ly valuable, and for milch cows they sur
pass any other food. When fed in mid
winter the milk is equal in flavor to that
produced fro.n clover in summer, while
the butter made from the milk is finely
colored and highly flavored. A thousand
bushels of carrots are sometimes raised on
an acre of land, and when we remember
that their value when fed with, oats is
equal to that of the oats themselves, of
which fifty bushels is a fair crop per acre,
we can readily sec Low profitable the car
rot crop must prove to every farmer for
his home consumption.
By consulting our article on carrots in
the series “Vegetable Garden,” (vol. xi.
p. 221) the whole method of theircukure
will be found clearly set forth.— Working

A Game of Euchre.
A constable at Williamsport, Warien
co., Ind., whilst paying a visit to a yonng
lady living a few miles in the country,
last week, proposed a game of euchre as
the evening’s entertainment which of course
was accepted by tlie young lady. When
the cards were dealt, the lady proposed a
bet of fifty dollars to wliieh the constable
demurred. The lady protested that she
would never play with a gentleman un
less there was some stake up, bnt the gent
still dcmnrred, when, as a compromise,
the young lady proposed that they should
play, and if she beat him he would marry
tier, which the gallant constable eonldn’t
do otherwise than accept. At it they
went, and the lady proved to be the win
ner. The constable soon recolleeted that
he had some official business to attend to,
aud left with a solemn promise to return
“soon.”
Hours flew by, but the constable forgot
to return. In the morning, the young la
dy, nothing; daunted, proceeded to town,
presented herself before tbe Squire, with
an application fora marriage license, which

was produced proving a bona fide agree
ment, when it was at once issued.
Hugging the license to her bosom; the
lady proceeded at once to the father of the
young Lothario, laying her distress before
him, and demanding a fulfilment of the
contract. The young gent was not come
at-able. Nothing discouraged, and believ
ing a constablo was all honor, anfl determ
ined to have her stake, Bhe stuck td her
future father-in-law for three days, without
however, the young man coming to time
—when a compromise was affected by
paying the disconsolate lad} ttvo hundred
and fifty dollars to fill the breach Thus
ended the game. The question is who got
euchered.
Size of the liuniau Itace.
Tim largest circlo of the terrestial globe
of uniform temperature is tho equator.
Those running parallel to this, as, forex
ample, the tropics, polar circles, &c., di
minish as they approach either pole.
The stature of the human race,- especially
that of men, likewise leSsfens, thofigh not
to the same extent at all. from tile equa
torial and tropical* regions toward tho
poles.
In ilie warm latitudes are found races
of men of large dimensions dwindling in
the cold regions of the high latitudes, so
that it may be affirrned that men grow
low in proportion as the latitude is high.
But women are more uniform in size
than men, being of nearly equal height in
places wher.* men vary very much in size.
In regions where males arc much taller
than the average, the womOh contintie bf
about the same medium dimensions.
The fact, too, appears from historic mon
uments, that the size of the race in gener
al has not varied from the earliest ages,
and that men and women are now of the
same dimensions as they were hefbfe the
period of Moses. This, we suppose, is
amply corroborated by r the evidence af
forded by the thousands of mummies,
which have been reContly Unrolled after
lying hidden for thirty aod forty centuries,
porhaps, in the catacombs of Egypt.
