planks six inches wide. This fence does well
for a year or two, but freezing weather and
washing rains diminishes the bank so, pigs
will finJ their way through, and then old
Nick himself couldn't keep them out of the
field. All fencing occupies a great deal of
gronnJ. Either of the above will take np
half an acre in a square nine acre field, and
an acre in about twenty three eqnare acres.
A remedy we cannot propose. Hedges do
but little better. We have tried the Chero
kee rose, which was almost entirely killed
by the severe weather the past winter, and
an overgreen thorn which we think will do
well. In all of onr yard, lot and garden
fences, we use rock posts, seven feet long '
and eight inches square, an iron pin being !
fastened in the top and bottom of the post I
by nn inverted wedge in a hole in the post,
and an upright plank fastened to these 1
bolts ly taps, and horizontal planks nailed ;
ujon the uprights. This is a good fence for .
twenty years. Rock posts with us are worth,
delivered, from sixty cents to one dollar j
twelv and a quarter, depending upon the i
length, which varies from seven to feet. !
MEASUREMENT.
We like to know the size and capacity of
everything on our premises, atid the easiest
method of calculating them. Fcr instance,
when we know our stable stalls are six feet
wide, nine deep, and the passage between
ten feet wide, we want to know how to find
the quantity, of manure in tl.e stable when
it averages one foot deep. When our slat i
teJ crib measures twenty feet long, ten feet
wide and eight and a half feet deep to the
plates, we want to know how to tell tiie
quantity of corn it will hold. And this is
the way we do both: multiply length,breadth
and depth together and deduct one fifth; he
cause the product of these dimensions give
the cubic feet, and to get the bushels we
must deduct one fifth, because n bushel is
one fifth larger than a cubic foot. This
measurement lacks about eight cubic inches
iu every bushel, hence if perfect measure
u.eot is required, one more bushel must be
added for-every 269 bushel.-, as 209 timet 8
culic inches is almost exactly equal to the
cubic contents of a bushel. In this way we
measure wagon bodies, and square space
ge lerally, and have similar rules for all
kinds of vessels.
NEGROES.
Under this head we may express views
objectionable to mnny of your readers, but
the substance of our satisfactory experience.
We believe the negro to belong to nn inferior
race; a people designed by Providence to be
subjected to masters, and as such they are
treated. We teach them they ore slaves,
bondmen and not freemen, that to the white
race belongs control, and to the binck obe
dience. Wc refuse them privileges appa
rently innocent, arc always stern, and uev
er familiar with them, because with them
liberty is leisure, and bnuiliari'r always
breeds impudence We uever allow oui ne

Resolved, That we hurl back into the

the real betrayers of our section.
Our opponents falsely charge the Democ
racy with handing over Kansas Territory
to Freesoilism, through the inatrnmentality
of a Federal appointee. The charge is agi
tated fcr the purpose of covering the hostile
attitude assumed by the Know Nothing par

Judge Wright an Abolitionist!
The last issue of the Rome Courier con

I Judge Wright with being an abolitionist!
Is this to be the character of the discussion
through this campaign? if so pitch in, and

What is the proof to sustain this charge ?
It is that Judge Wright should have said
in Cumming, in 1850, ..that he would suffer
liis right arm cut off before he would vote
to carry slavery into territory now free,” or
words to t! a' effect.
Whether Judge Wright said so we know
not-, hut if lie did, he said nothing but what
the Union party said in 1850; nothing but
what the writer of this article endorsed at
Macon on the 28th of Jane, 1855; nothing
but wb-it the American party this day pro
fess to hold to; nothing but what Ben Hill
endorses ; nothing but what the Rome Cou
rier endorses, and has endorsed all the
while; nothing but what all parties, and
pavties of all shades in Georgia have en

what Ben Hill and his followers are now

Columbus Enquirer.
This journal published last week an ex
tract from an editorial of the Standard, and
sarcastically characterized it as .. rich,
truthful and witty.” We now in turn ask
hint to look at some of bis own sweet mor-
ceaus:
•*So far as Southern Democrats are con
cerned the President can bring to pass with
imparity the very thing which they said
but lately the election of Fremont would
accomplish—the destruction of the rights of
the South and a disruption of the Union.”
Col. Enquirer.
That is neither rich, truthful nor witty.
«• Tbe instructions are almost a copy of
the Kansas act, and because Mr- Walker
carries them oat he is traduced.”
Col Enquirer.
That is neither rich, truthful nor witty.
•.Then we would not have beheld the pit
iable spectacle of a candidate for Governor
of tbe • Empire State of the South' (Judge
Brown) afraid to open his lips and speak tbe
truth against the President, the Governor,
the flesh and the devil.” Cot. Enquirer.
There is not a Georgian from Ringgold to
Brunswick but what knows that that charge
is neither rich, truthful nor witty.

Mr. Editor, is not this direct intervention?
Is this the boasted principle of the Kansas
and Nebraska bill? This is not all. About
or soon after Gov. Walker's arrival—the
..Governor from the South”—Hon. James L
Orr, from Sonth Carolina, makes his ap
pearance in the territory, and (if n gentle
man in the confidence of the Administration
is good authority) declares that the South
does not need Kansas, and does not want it,
her soil and climate being nnsnited to slave
labor, &c.
These proceedings, Mr. Editor, as re
marked in the beginning of this communica

colors the dangerous consequences of keeping

whose effects will be felt in every comer of
tlic broad South An avowed Freesoil par
ty, headed by Blair, Benton, and the Mis
souri Democrat, have struck hands with
Know Notbingism ngainst the Democrats of
Missouri, and together have polled over 40,
000 votes on the issue of removing slavery
from a prosperous slave community. The
candidate of the two factions accepted the
leadership of his Abolition or Freesoil allies,
and carried their banner through the contest
with the word .Emancipate! Emancipate! !’
boldly inscribed on its folds.
Not one word of denunciation like that
hurled at the Kansas Governor has teen di
rected to this gross attack on slavery of
Missouri by the ontli bound brotherhood of
;he Soulli. They have no tear to shed over
the : nfamy of members of their own family
who uublusbingly unfurled the black flag
over a sister Southern State—not they!
Great as is Walker's offense, it is virtuous
in comparison lo the position occupied by
the Know Nothing party in the late conflict
in Missouri. The former acted as an indi
vidual intermeddler—occupying an official
position, to be snre, but speaking for himself
—and the whole Democratic party, in the
opinion of the K N press, must be held ac
countable for his unauthorized conduct. In
the latter case, where an attemjt was made

verdict against slavery in the strongest out

The Beginning of the End
It is now generally conceded that Rollins,
the Emancipation candidate, has been elec
ted governor of Missouri. This result was
by no means unexpected. It had been fore
shadowed in the indications of public senti
ment, as gathered from previous Congres
sional and State elections, the spirit of the
press, and outspoken opinions of leading pol
iticians But, notwithstanding the event
was foreseen as very likely to happen, it is
not on that account invested with less sig
nificance in the eyes of Southern men It
is well calculated to inspire them with tbe
deepest solicitude and concern for the per
manent welfare and security of their great
domestic institution. We regard the elec
tion of Rollins to be the most serion3 blew
which has been given to the Southern cause
since the formation of the Federal Union.
The question of the perpetuity of African
slavery in tbe State of Missouri has been
thereby determined. It is now no longer
debateable. A considerable majority of the
