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.

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 COLE’S MIG HI Y SCHEME.

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.

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.

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.— tanooga with the Georgia system by a short cut-off of eleven miles be- Ooltawah, on tho Chattanooga di vision of the East Tennessee, Vir ginia and Georgia Railroad and the 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 and Atlantic fnture, and ter, to visit the he proposes, next win- South, and look for himself particular! v into the inter ests of Georgia anil Tennessee. pn lie Rep.—Most of the miles of road roposed lobe constructed at once n the State of Georgia, do they not I Don’t yon think that capital could be secured to develop the im portant agricultural and mineral in terests of Georgia add Tennessee.

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.

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.

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.

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. Respectfully, L. E. G.
