James F. Wilson, a
leading member of Congress, and
is now a Republican candidate for the
United States Senate from Iowa, in re
ply to a farmer's letter asking for hit
views on the [power of Co agrees over
railroads, wrote: "I want the people to
underatand that I believe in the power
of Congress to regulate anil control in'
ter-State commerce In the fullest ex
tent, and I am in favor of its exerciaa.
My own views as a citizen and a pub
lic man are chat Congress has full
powtr over the whole Subject, and
ought to exercise iL”
Col. McCluek is trying to goad
some of the Philadelphia Legislators
into suing him for libel. So he pleas
antly says every day in Italia on hit
editorial page:
“Representative , and
ore corrupt Legislative scoundrels, and
many citizens must liare known that
they wcic dishonest when they voted
for them.''
All this in connection with the stub
bum refusal of the Legislature to re
peal the law under which the De
linquent Tax Collector fleeces the pub
lic out of (200,000 per annum.
If the Treasury continues mil the 6
per cents st 3 V, per cent, as there is
now every probability, ixcept the
(75,000,000 to be paid out of the reve
nues in the next year, the country will
hare, in 1882, (540,000.000 of bonds at
3j£ per cent., payable until 1891, when
(250,000,000 of 4J, per cents hill doe.
The Chronicle and Constitutionalist
says: It would be easy with the receipts
as they now are, to pay off all the 3J*
per eents before 1891, pay the 4>f per
cents in the next three years, and then,
with the annual interest charge rcduc
od to (31,000,000, begin buying in the
4 percents, to which the National
debt will then lie restricted; but a
wiser plan will be to begin next win
ter and lighten the load of taxation
by revising the tariff. Thu govern
ment bars bigger income than it needs,
and the United States is the only one
of the three great prosperous countries
—France,England and the United State*
—which hat not ameliorated taxation
in seven years.
It is really amusing to see how com
pletely Mr. Blaine has cut Mr. Conk
ling oqt of the affections of President
Garfield, [and worked himself into the
good graces of a man who defeated
him in hie offort to reach the Presiden
cy. Acting the office of a subordinate,
ostensibly, Secretary Blaine is rapidly
establishing himself as President No.
2, with a commanding influence that
places in his hands the a prerogatives
which, according to law. should belong
to none other than the cheif magistrate
himself. By force or will and chican
ery this modern prothonotary drops
his goose-qoil, and sways the sceptre
of an appointing power, with a spirit of
revenge and selfishness, which first
chops off the head of Conkling, and
then makes way for his own political
pupils and henchmen. The last ap
pointment of Mr. Blaine is Wallace
R. White, of Maine, to be United Staten
Attorney for Idaho. White it the man
who was employed by Blaine to bribe
a Slate Legislature. Two members of
that Legislature have sworn that White
offered them each one thousand dol
lars, and just before this money was
offered the tool bad been closely closet
ed with Blaine and his money beg.
Such is modern statesmanship.
The Mexican National Railway Sys
tem is now becoming a subject of con
siderable discussion, and ex-Preiident
Grant’s connection with it makes itmore
interesting. What may be called the
two trunk lines lead north from the
City or Mexico to Laredo, where con
nection is to be made with tho Ameri
can system of railroads and west from
the capital to Manzanillo on the Pacific
coast which latter tine will complete
a short route from ocean to ocean, to
carry freight and passengers from Vera
Crus on the Gulf to Manzanillo. There
arc also many branch lines leading to
the principle )Mexican 'cities and min
ing regions. An immense amount of
preliminary work has been and is being
done in surveying and laying out lines
and in the actual way of construction.
It is not improbable that within two
yeirs the city of Mexico will be
connected by rail with ail parts of the
United States, aud that the trans-con
tinental tine will be open to traffic.
Two thousand miles of road are to be
built, but work can be carried on all
the year round. Already the native
Mexicans are ready fur the results that
are sure to follow such an opening np
of their country to immigrants, by pro
viding that only native born citizens
shall be eligible as members of the
Mexican Congress.

The garden, with its winding av
enues, fountains terraces and
studied partiera, has made its build
er's Illustrious, and flowers have
been cultivated in all agea. Land
scapes without these would present
but little attraction. There matt
be a tree, shrub or banging wine to
relieve the tediousness; and what is
home without flowers, shrubs and
plants?
The most magnificent residence,
with bare grounds and iron fences,
doe* not give the pleasure that the
ueat K cottage does wilb its fine
hedges, nicely trimmed lawn, grass
nicely cut. roses perfect in form,
color and fragrance, surrounded
with geraniums, mignonette, allye-
stima and the multitude of living,
growing beauties. To enjoy these
requires attention and cultivation
which few persons on this habita
ble globe, compared to the millions,
think worth their care. To desire a
tiling we must feel the need of it
U’e often onjoy what we have not
desired, because wo bad uo knowl
edge of it until it becomes a necessi
ty with us. Some thiuk that be
cause they cannot carry out some
beautiful fancy of an idle imagina
tion in building gushing fountains,
limpid lakes and purging brooklets,
splendid green houses[and ooliecting
rare plants, that they would find no
pleasure in cultivating flowers; just
as some good, pious persons spend
ail their fortunes to help the saucy
heathen, while sweet innocents and
feeble aged ones are daily dying of
hunger and want within stone’s
throw of their own door to relieve
whom, and hear their grateful
praises, should fill their cup of
pleasure.
Who cannot plant a tree, prune it,
carefully tend it, and find exquisite
pleasure in watching its manufac
tures? From tiny brown buds its
machinery brings out tender leaves,
which are followed by flowers, and
as the reason advances the beautiinl
rinit appears.
Whether hedges wilt ever be here
to the extent as in England, Is
doubtful. Where wo [have abun
dance of timber and can put up a
wood fence so quickly, but as or
naments to onr homes (and wo ex
tend these tbonghts directed to onr
homes) hedges cannot be too strong
ly urged. A nicely set hedge, prop
erly cared for and trimmed, is a
life-time pleasure. It is a good
plan to run a furrow and plant the
seed of tho common evergreen as
cotton i* planted. There are so’
many hedge plants that we are left
without excuse. Xoxt to hedges
come roses. These need but little
attention, bat they must have that or
they soon inform you of yonr lack
of energy by withered buds, yellow
leaves and dead branches. Occa
sionally give them charcoal, ashes
and barn fertilizing, and prune the
uncomely branches. Cultivating
rare plants requires much care but
they often richly repay you for the
labor given, for in caring for one
plant yon learn what is needed for
another. Tbos yon arc soon sur
rounded by a number of lovely
plants almost unconsciously.
Plants need inn, air, watar and
soil for their roots to work their ma
chinery.
Some plants need more clay and
others less, but If yon want luxu
rious plants yon must have rich
soil. South America produces the
largest flowers in the world—the
re-JU-tia—which is 14 feet in diam
eter, and the cannon-ball tree,
whose fruit resembles a bomb shell,
and when It fklls produces an effect
aiinilartoabattle. These grow in
the best soil In the world.
Make tho soil rich. Plenty of
fertilizers W- the first command
ment; and then dig while sluggards
sleep. Said a friend, “I once bad
two plants—a lemon verbeua and
night blooming jasmine, that 1 did
all tiiat could be done in digging
ior them, and still they appeared
stunted. 1 bad one day, jnst before
rain, two bnsbels of fertilizer
brought from the fowl house and
thrown down near them, scattering
but little. In a few days they be
gan to send ont new leaves, and, to
my delight, became tho admiration I
of all beholders.”
Persons when first contemplating '
the cultivation of flowers, begin ,
wisely to connt the cost, and are \
often deterred in consequence.
Flowers are much liko water— ,
they were given for onr pleasure, j
aud are plentiful. Ferns, jasmines, i
and honeysuckle, abound In every
wood and wayside. Idle moments I
hang heavily on many hands ami-
perplexities are often dispelled by
i garden work; for many of our se-
| yerest trials are made worse by
brooding over them. Once in the
open air, with the cool hreezo and
gay flowers, we forget and are
strengthened.
During th* hot and exhausting
weather of our Southern summers, \
there is an unmistakable difference
in the cool, damp shade of well-kept
grounds to the loose, dark sand and ,
litter of most Southern homes.
What most a thrifty Englishman j
think of us, to see from two to ten j
acres enclosed, and called the yard :
to" our homes, Ailed with trash,
broken wagons, cart wheels, hog
beds, chicken coops, barrels and
branches of neglected trees, and .
many other signs of a, want of ener- '
gy?
He thinks what an Eden he conld
make of this piece of gronnd. Who
doe* not desire the esteem of oth
ers? A man will appear extrava
gant in delicacies of food and attire
and send for his physiciau If the
least complaint roaches his ear, and
yet if his family ask fora new fence,
to aid in beautifying their homes,
he feels that these things are unnec
essary.
Let us begin at the foundation.
The little men aud women who are
to fill onr places when we aro sleep
ing under the beautiful flowers, let
them, the little girls aud boys, study
botany, chemistry, mineralogy and
ail studies that would develop a
taste for horticulture, aud early in
life the desired results will be seen.
The boy will become a man of re
finement and taste, and enjoy beau
tiful hedges and fine lawn9 equal to
any in English gardens. This South
ern country is worthy of much
more attention than it receives. Wo

Col. Colo -None at all. I learned
from my friends who held a con
trolling interest in in tho East Ten
nessee, Virginia and Georgia Rail
road system that they were willing
to sell their stock. I also learned
that negotiations were being, prose
cuted by another party for its pur
chase. Having determined to con
trol thU line, 1 formed the syndicate
which purchased the four-fifths of
the stock in the East Tennessee, Vir
ginia and Gergia Railroad system,
the syndicate cxprcaainga willing
ness to take the other oue-flfth at the
same price, if desired by those hold
ing it. About the same time the pur
chase of tho Macon at d Brunswick
Railroad was effected, aad,.«Bpital
sufficient that road to Atlanta, and
from Atlauta to Rome, was subscrib-

should arouse by tome means and
step by step effect a change. The ed, which connect the Georgia sys-
govemment is annually sending tem withjhe East Tennessee, _Vlr-
seed and plants to all parts of the
United States to aid improvemenL
Many packages have been sent to
this county. Where are they?
They have been planted and then
left to perish for need of nourish
ment The best method of planting
seeds is to plant in boxes of
sifted soil moderately rich; make
drills by pressing a stick one inch
in diameter, one-half in the soil. Into
these drills put the seed, laying pa
per over them so as to tonch the soil
and keep itmoist—sprinkle this paper
every day nntil the seeds germi
nate, then remora for a day or so;then
replace till they are one inch high,
when they are ready to transplant
Most persons thiuk it necessary to
root geraniums in boxes before
planting in the garden. Thisis quite
a mistake as thoy root 'very readily
in the garden. Liquid fertilizers are
'made by filling an open barret, plac
ed upon a small scaffold with fer
tilizing from the stable, and keeping
it wet with any kind of slop water
or clear water to cause it to drip.
This poured on the ground near the
plants will cause them to grow and
bloom much’faster than in a solid
state; but it most not be pnt on too
late in the spring and summer, as it
causes the leaves to turn yellow.
Every garden should have a pin
which is inexpensive, aud affords
protection to many beautiful plants
that conld not bear our winters,
oven the mildest.
We earnestly desire to see every
home adorned with beautlfol gar
dens. Xothing will tend more to
elevate onr people or enhance the
value .of onr lands. If we wish to
sell our lands to capitalists, we most
beautify them and bring every
energy to bear on soil, climate and
situation. Once we become inter
ested in the beantifnl work, many of
tne . coarser vices will recede, and
minds once sordid will be gentle
and seek pleasure at this pure foun
tain not poisoned by insufficiency.
Uncultivated grounds dismal to the
eye inspire discontent.
A field richly cultivated and orna
mented with beautiful objects of
various kinds, displays in fall the
goodness of the deity and the ample
provision He [has made for onr
happiness.
-StreiiKtls of OUarmcler.
Strength of character consists of
two things—power of will and pow
er of self-restraint. It requires two
things, therefore, to its existence—
strong feelings and strong command
over them. Xow, it is here we make
a great mistake; we mistake strong
feelings for strong character. A man
bears all before him, before whose
'iursts of fury make the children of
the household quake—because he has
his will obeyed in all things—we
call hint a strong man. The truth is,
that is tho weak man; il is Ids pas
sions that arc strong: he is mastered
by them, is weak. You must meas
ure the strength of a man by the
power of those who subdue" him.
And hence composure is very often
the highest result of strength. Did
we ever see a man receive a flagrant
insult r.nd quietly reply ? Thatisa
man spiritually strong. Or did we
ever see a man in[anguish stand as if
carved out of a solid rock, mastering
himself? Or one bearing a hopeless
daily trial remain 6ilent, and never
tell the world what cankered his
homo peace? That is strength. H-
who with strong passions remain
chaste; he who keenly sensitive, lease of the [Western
with many powers of indignation in ,. oa( )
him, can be provoked and yet re
strain himself and forgive—these
are the strong men, the spiritual
heroes.—

vision of the East Tennessee, Vir

State line, on tho Dalton division of
the same road. By 3 P. 3L on Mon
daytheamonnt required40 aceom-
fine plish all that the syndicate have at to bo
present in hand, (10,000,000, was
sudscribed. From the applications
made subsequently, doubtless the
subscription could have been dou
bled if it had been wanted. Major
Wilson, Colonel McGhee and Mr.
Walters, among the gentlemen who
sold out, retained an interest in the
new syndicate, and will co-operate
in the future in the more extended
development of this very important
property. The new combination
has great strength, which will neces
sarily ho of advantage to the terri
tory through which the systems will
run, as is is onr purposo to finish
putting all of our lines, in all about
1,4000 miles when completed, in first
class order, and speedily finish tho
road from Kuoxvillo to tho State
line, connecting with the Louisville
and Xashville Railroad to Louis
ville, as well as. to complete the road
from Morristown to Paint Rock, on
the Xortb Carolina line, there con
necting with Xorthand South Caro
lina’s system of railroads, which will
give tho shortest line from the North
west to the large territory lying cast
of and between the mountains and
the seaboard. This will open up all
East Tennessee a large local business
into that territory. The formations
of a new lino from Chattanooga to
Atlanta, and tho Atlantic at Bruns
wick and Savannah must bo of great
advantago to the commercial pros
perity ot the wbolo country as well
as Georgia. It will.be oar policy
not to unnecessarily antagonize any
existing interests, while developing
what we believe to be the best in
terest of tho whole country. Our
aim will »e to barmotiize with onr
connections and rival Interests. YVe
believe that the construction of our
new roads will add to the business
over our Eastern lines and the Xor-
folk aud Western, through the im
portant port of Xorfolk. as well* as
from the Memphis line, ihe. natural
outlet of which is believed to be
Xorfolk.
Rep.—Is not Senator Jos. E
Brown President of tbe Western
and Atlantic Railroad and peniten
tiary interested_in that road? IIow
will he feel toward your new enter
prise, and tho cementing of yonr
system? ■
Col. Cole—Senator Brown Is
President of the Western and At
lantic. Railroad, and he is peculiar
ly interested in that property. I
am also Vice-President of that road,
and own about the same amount of
stock In the lease company as Sena
tor Brown. I have not had the
pleasure of meeting with the Sena
tor since my plans have been ma
tured, but I know enough of that
gentleman’s broad and liberal views
and his devotion to the best inter
ests of the State of Georgia and the
whole South, to warrant me iu be
lieving that he will not oppose what
I am proposing to do for his State.
On the contrary, I have slrqng
hopes of receiving his co-operation.
Senator Brown is one of the most
able, conservative, fair-dealing and
far-seeing men in the whole coun
try, and his desire for the promo
tion of the interests of the State of
Georgia is not surpassed by any of
hersons. Besides, I do not think a
new line will not materially affect
the income of the Western and At
lantic Road. During the last sea
son it bad more business than it was
possible for it to do with prompt
ness, and the new line I have ar
ranged for ruus for a great part of
the way some distance from the
Western and Atlantic Railroad, and
will secure ajvery large amount of
new business that the Western and
e Atlantic could never secure. 1 shall
IS not part with my interest in tile

Col. Cole—Tea, the roads to

the road from Macon to Atlanta

Atlanta to Rome by the same time,

Col. Cole arrived in Atlanta In
on Tuesday, and at once aet about

Rochester Colon nod Recorder.
John Harris, the Arcade confec
tioner, laid aside the cares of busi
ness on Tuesday and made a visit :
to Ctledonia creek trout fishing.
The day was cold and unfavorable
for taking trout, but he managed to i
put a few good ones In his creel. If
he had not canght a fish at ail, the j
experience he had would have been :
ample compensation. He was using \
the very small fly essential to sue-1
coss on tbe creek, and an UDUstial j
number of swallows were skimming
over the water and whsn Harris be-1
gait to whip the stream the birds
commenced to dart at the flies.
There was no way of preventing '
them taking the flies, ana before he '
stopped fishing he caught three of j
llic birds on his hook. Very light;
tackle was employed, and when a
bird took a fly it would sail off in j
the air and afford a novel experi
ence to the angler. They were all
released uninjured, and toon after
their liberation joined the flock and
began their gyrations as if nothing
had happened.

Monday, May 30,1831. j
j Editors Jfctcs and Advertiser:
At vonr disposal a few more dot
; from the limits of Coffee. Thi
'■ weather is so extremely hot ant
j dry the crops are badly injured.
: Tho oat crop is an entire failure,
: having had no rain from the begin
ning to head. Farmers are well np
with their work, there not being
j grass enough in cotton fields for tbe
j sustenance of geese. Onr Coff e
farm«rs seem to Indulge less In
track filming than iu many other
sections along the B. & A. This
matter should be taken into consid
eration as truck farming, when
properly carried out, yields a right
handsome Utile profit. Let’s try a
little experiment another year, and
see if onr soil and climate down In
the Sunny South will not produce
as fine vegetable-, etc-, as the North
or West.
On Saturday iast quite a crowd
gathered at the Durham mill, five
miles north of Pearson, for the pur
pose of selng the pond, it ’being
very low. After having raado two
or three drags the quantity of fine
fish realized surpussed any quantity
ever caught before at one time In
this county. All participants ate,
drank and were merry once more.
We truly hope the rumor that the
B. & A. is sold and will be extend
ed is confirmed, as It will be a great
advantage to both this State and
Alabama.
We thiuk our village ran boast of
haring more professional men than
any place of slinllarsizeinthe State,
there being three resident law vers,
three doctors, two justices of tbe
peace, two preachers, two editors,
and many others too notorious to
mention, save Dad Srtlckiand.
We hope the Oazetle will prosper
yet, it having secured the service of
Mr. II. S. Hill, as editor.
The health of our county is re
markably good at present
The whonp of the sheep drivers
echo on every side driving up tbe
fleecy tribe, taking their rateable
coats.
A cyclone passed over many
farms recently in the Northern por
tion of this county, totally destroy
ing the oat crops, and leaving much
sign to mark its wonders.
Undoubtedly thcro lias beon more
gnano bought in Coffee this spring
than in auy two counties of similar
size in Georgia. Also (he demand
for Western corn and bacon is enor
mous. Farmers, how do yon think
you’ll stand financially in even five
years from now, if yon contlnno
haying gnano and provisions? Do
you think you’ll be able to stand
clear of debt, and be able then to
pay your poll-tax ? Do you main
tain the idea that making a little
cotton and rice and buying guano
and rations leadeth to prosperity?
We tell ye nay. Plant little, or no
cotton, buy no guano, plant plenty
of rice as the matured soil will pro
duce that in any of onr ordluary
pine ltnds with proper cultivation.
It is evident that any farmer can
raise manure enough on his farm to
make his corn and his porkers,
therefore his provisions will he at
home, and not in the far West
have noticed tbe degradation of the
country ever sinco gnano became
so popular in the South, and will
reluctantly have to notice it till the
use of the odious stuff is entirely
abandoned by the farmers.
A vast quantity of ranging tim
ber bas been cat in this locality
during the last eight years. Peo
ple cot it square, from thirty lo
seventy feet long, then haul It to the
S&tilla river, ready to raft and run
to market when the freshet comes.
Farmers are cutting this timber at
all times of the year and in conse
quence neglecting their farm", let-
their plantations go down, etc., is
another Insiance attributable to tbe
povorty of tbe country. Cutting
ranging timber, as every experienc
ed man knows, is the most expen
sive thing a farmer ran go at, and
the profit is bnt very little, there
fore, if a poor man neglects his
farm and home indutry too, and
reaps but a small profit from his
timber business, can he ever expect
to live plentiful ? Nay, nover. This
i9 what guano and ranging timber
and neglecting farms is doing for
old Coffee. Further comment is
unnecessary. In fact, all our views
avaiiath nothing, as every commer
cial paper in the State bas from
time to time lectured for the benefit
of the farmers, bat to little or no ad
vantage.
We hear the sweet sound of thun
der in the East, and every indication
this A. M. is, that the parched earth
and its productions will be cooled
with rain this P. M.
We highly endorse some of Bill
Arp’s views on education, especially
of the negroes. Education never
his made a gentleman of a darkey,
nor laborfa dog. An enlightened
negro entirely refuses to labor, and
generally wants an office so bad till
b* breaks into oo* before elected.
