Lu his address at the opei.imr of the Wi-conisiu State fair, Gov. It ssid: , “Agriculture is the foundation of the business and prosperity of the whole country. When, after plant ing and tending and waiting ihe har vest time brings no harves lo him, every industry and every interest in stantly feels it. How completely a series of crop failures, or oven ol short crops, paralyzes the business of the country I So a series of good crops stimulates every business and revives every drooping industry. Tbe railroad lines lengthen, the roll ing mills are busy, the iron tuiue, the'saw mill, the lumber camp, are all scenes ot activity, and every in strument of commerce is in use. The hum of tbe machinery is the natural accompaniment to the songs of the harvestlield. The daily published telegram from the money centre of the world is an unconscious daily tribute to agriculture and the far mer as the prime factor in commerce. They note and chionicie every frost, every rain, every hostile insect, as carefully as the physician ihe sj mp- toms of the patient. Stocks go up and down with the varying reports as to wheat and corn. The Wall street gambler who never heard the meadow-lark in the field reads with as eager interests the news from the grailificlds as one fearing for a friend would read the casuhics of a battle. But such tribute is tempor ary and compulsory. It springs from selfishness mostly, and the crop assured, indifference to agricul ture proclaims itself to * often in an undue levy upon the crop for car riage and in other ways, which 1 thave not time to mention.

This is well. They make good students and scholars, but I have feared that too many of them rather disdainful ly turn from I arm life to the pro fessions as being a step higher. I would like to inffm*s* upon such young men that they are mistaken in this. There is in a true sei se no ‘step higher* from the calm thought ful, heathful, independent life *>f the intelligent farmer.” Georgia Legislature,: 1 hough j composed of new men, is a stragetic body.

Chambers Journal says: It is a common fallacy among the general public that it must be a very diffi cult matter to find news to fill each day’s paper. So far from this be ing the case, the ingenuity of editors and sub-editors is continually on the stretch to find space for even a •election of the most important news at their disposal. In the of flee of a leading da iv newspaper there is often more matter thrown into the waste basket, or struck out of manuscripts, than would suffice to fill the paper, while interesting telegrams, for which not only the Post Office, hut Ihe eorre-pon.lents who have sent them, will have to be :ptid. are consigned to the rec’ptu- •clc almost nightly,.*! :ic impossible to liud a corner for dfcern. The calculations of the editor moreover, are liable to be upset in a ’hundred different ways.

Wessolowsky is buried under a handsome majority for tho “black belt” to give Democracy. The re turns from the outside world are meagre, but all points to Democratic victory. Verily, the position, at this writing, of the Democratic goose is high in the air, and every thing is lovely.

Macon, Ga., .November 4, 1882.— Editors Constitution; I notice in your i.sue of the 4th inst. a piece headed “Cotton Blockade,” reciting a telegram dated Americus, November 3rd, 1882, addrcs.ed by several mer chants to the Hon. J. D. Frederick, W. A. Wilson and W. C. Hawks, Atlanta, Ga., asking them to repre sent their grievances to the Railroad Commissioners and invoke their aid for relief. While this state of affairs was a fact on the third ol Novem ber, I am sure it will lead toerrone- oiis impressions wi.bout explanation. From the information I have through our agent at Americus, there was no delay ol consequence to the cotton inciitletted up to date of complaint. To'ididw the condition of Americus immediately prior to the third of November, our records show as fol lows : October 26th no cotton on hand. October 27th no cotton on hand and 15 empty cars. October 28th 141 bales cotton on hand and 9 empty cars. October 29th 150 bales cotton on hand and 8 omptv cars. October 3l)ili 75 bales cotton on hand ami 8 empty cars. October 31st 400 bales cotton on hand and 5 empty cars. November 1st 500 bales cotton on hand aud 8 empty cars. These empty cars were about enough to load this cultou. It seems from in- ortnalion received through our agent that there had been an accu mulation'of cotton at Americas ware houses. held iu anticipation of the redttced rates of the State railroad commission, that were to have taken effect November 1st, but when it became known that the commission had withdrawn the reduced rates the cotton was shoved on the road and hence the delay. I simply give below copies of telegrams received front the agent of the company at Americus, upon which I base state ment of cause ot delay. I have received no word of com plaint from merchants at Americus touching detention. I have always given them a fair share of tbe com pany’s rolling stock to move their cotton, anil am a little surprised at S he course of the complaint. Will you kindly copy this in your ssue of to-morrow, und oblige. W. F. Shellman, Supt. Soothewestern Railroad. Americus, October 28—W. F. Shelinit.u Buperittdint; Big stir here this evening over editorial in Telegraph and Messenger to-day as tit new rates not going into effect, first November.

The New York Times man recently took op the fact that the people of these United States drink 16,000,000 barrels of beer in the course of a year, and here are the re sults cf his figuring: “That is, assum ing that there are 24,000,000 women and children who never drink beer, 4,000,000 teetotalers who never drink anything but water, and 8,000,000 deacons and farmers who drink old Medford rum, then the remaining 16,- 000,000 mast drink a barrel of beer apiece in the course of the year; and if the New York brewer’s prediction is to prove true, there will be by the close of tbe century at least 50,000,000 beer drinkers, and each of them will consume annually about twenty bar rels of beer. Any man who lias once grasped the full significance of these startling figures needs no argument to convince him that the war cry of the great reform party of the future will be ‘pure beer.’ 14 night disc, half an inch in diameter, containing degree marks and calculated with math ematical precision'is placed on the re verse side of the works. In a rotating eccentric revolving towards the centre from the outer edge of the disc an index works which regulates the time. This index is like the ordinary regulat ing levers, the adventage of the disc and eccentric being that the watch may be regulated to a positive certain ty and to within .a minimum of accur acy. For instance, if a watch varies half a minute a day, ten degrees on the disc indicate that much time, and by revolving the disc either towards or from slow or fast the regulating is ob tained. ; j • - By the old means of pushing the re gulator to make the watch go fast oe slow, there was no certainly of action. Your watch might be running one minute per day too fast, you wish to “.onch” your regulator but don’t know bow much to push it, and you may push it too far or perhaps not far enough; tlie consequence is one would have to experiment with the watch week or two before getting it right. With the new attachment the point of tho regulator moves in a groove ent eccentrically in a disk (using a little point of any kind, placing it in one of tlie degree marks cut on the ontside of the disk) you can move the regulator one-five hundreth part of an inch, and that move is ac curately registered by the little index pointer, which shows when you have, moved one degree, or half a degree-. Mr. Stevens lias shown his remark able invention to a number of watch factories, and has already been ofl'ered handsome sums by them for its use. but as he Intends to make it |a distinc tive feature of the Georgia watch he has positively declined offers from all sources. This new invention's thous ands of dollars to any one factory, and Mr. Stevens told me in person that he would not take ten thousand -dollars in gold for it. It will simply work a revolution in watchmaking and will in five years make the Georgia factory widely known as any in the world. These watches can be seen at J. P.

Spfciol to Savannah News. Atlanta, November 3.—The House joint committee to-day re ported the following elections to be bad: A Justice ot the Supren.c Court in place of Justice Speer. Also Judge in the Albany, Augusts, Brunswick, Eastern, Flint, Macon, Middle, Ocntulgeec, Pataula, Rome, Southern, Southwestern and Wes tern circuits, and Sv Iicilor for Oco nee circuit. They deride that no election is required for the new Northeastern circuit under the con stitution. A resolution was adopted for a committee to consider the propriety of adjourning from Monday to attend the Congressional elections. A joint committee was appointed to notify Governor Stephens of his election, and ask when he desires to be inaugurated. Under a call of countie* for bills, Mr. Harrris, ot Bibb, itrroduced a bill to amend the Code so as to' in crease the t ate of interest from eight to twelve per cent Also to exempt the Floyd Rifles of Macon, from jury duty. Mr. LeDacv, ot Dodge, offered a resolution to pay that county $7,000 for the expenses of the trial of tlie negro murderers at Eastman. Mr. McIntosh, of Dougherty, in troduced a bill to extend the time of payment cf taxes on wild lauds of non-residents to March. 1883. Mr. Rice, of Fulton, a resolution to reate a commission to erect a new capitol building. Mr. Calvin, of Richmond, propos ed au ainmendment to the constitu tion giving to the Governor the ap pointment of Judges aud Solicitors. Mr. Crenshaw, ;of Troup—A bill to amend the Code of 1882, section 3297. Mr. McCants, of Taylor—A bill for the relief of disabled Confeder ate soldiers from poll tax and a certain amount of taxation. The motion to table the resolu tion ordering the Governor to stop the bond suit against tho Western and Atlantic Railroad was lost, and the resolution referred to the Judi ciary Committee by an almoit unani mous vote. senate proceedings. We also have reason for believitig that the reports tit ide by Melville, as to the condition ofithe weather, whicli he alleged pre vented him going to the relief of De Lung, were false, for the dales, on which he declared the weather was baft, are shown to hare been good by thfe records.” Collins furth' r asserts that jeal ousy existed bet wren certain officers of the expedition, the trouble first beginning, as he learns, over an or der to the effect that all men should 'undergo a physician’s examination monthly. Collins-and Danenhower Were neither permitted to assist in thb retreat. Dr. Collins adds: “We happen to know that Kusmah re quested Melvil<e to go to De Long’s relief himself, or send some one, and that Melville would do neither. He first gave an order to Danenhower to go, and then countermanded it. Eustirih and Shagra wero fifteen days iu making the round trip to Be ilin from the spot at which Melville’s party was. Two dayseacb way was ample time for the journey. During the trip three men got drunk, Mel ville knew iu While they were gone in search of Dc Long, Melville and those with hint made chess-men and checker-boards and amused them selves, leaving the work of search ing for their companions to two ig norant drunken natives. We have reasonable ground for being certain that there was a considerable amoutiAtf intoxicants drunk during the fifteen days they waited the re turn of the two natives. We know from conversations with surviving members of the expedition that there were certain papers on my brother’s person which have never been pro duced. We want to know what has b£eu done with these papers. If Melville bad gone with the natives as he ought to have done there is no doubt that De Long and his party would have been saved. He would have seen beacon fires, had they been lighted on tlie bluffs, at stated in De Long’s journal, which was found, oven if he had started out when Kushmah and Shagra were overdue. We, therefore, “make the charge that bad Melville done his duty, in-tead of spending his time in playing chess and checkers, De Long and his party would not have died. Melville left' them to die, and he is responsible for their deaths.” CoUins will print his statement in pamphlet form, with documentary evidence, and lay it before Con gress. feb2f. will wa> made, _ _ Property of the Evans estate has j bean advertised to be sold to-mor- j TrOWbrldge & Hollinhad row at administrators sale, but Sam uel II.

While Jo-eph Jefferson was once playing Rip Van 'Winkle at Chicago, he went to the theatre very much ex hausted by a long day’s fishing on the lake. When the curtain ro"e on the third act, it disclosed the white- haired Rip still deep in bis twenty years’ nap. Five, ten, twenty min utes passed, and he did not waken. The audience “begun to get impa tient, and thejprompter uneasy. The great actor doubtless knew what he was about, but this was carrying the “realistic’’ business too far. The fact was that all the timc.Jefferson was really sleeping the sleep of the just, or rather ol the fisherman who had sat eight hours In the sun without getting a single bite. Finally the gallery became npr tarious, and one of the “gods’’ wanted to know if there was going to be "nineteen years more of this snooze business.’’ At this point Jefferson began to snore. This decided the prompter, who opened a small trap beneath the stage and began to prob Rip from below. The much-traveled comedian began to fumble in his pocket for an imaginary ticket, and muttered, drowsily, “Going right through, ’doctor.” The audience was trans fixed with amazement at this entire ly new reading, when Jefferson sal up with a loud shriek, and evident ly in agony. The exasperated prompter had “jabbed” him with a pin. The play went on then—with a rush. A Saginaw man’s Scheme. Detroit News. D..K.

The Egyptian war hss shown that England looks with jealous eye upon anything that has the appear ance of a menace to the safety of her route to India. By a display of boldness and skill most remarkable her ministers have secured - stations in the Mediterranean, and are likely to establish at least a protectorate over Egypt, if indeed that uuhappy country does not altogether become a fief of the British crown. India is the chief possession of England, and the Queen proudly calls herself Empress of that Oriental land. For generations the name has had_ sug gestions of wealth, and practically India to-day is a part and 'parcel of .Great Britain. But to the north of India lies a debatable country sep arating it from Russia, and foi l-ears England has seen with appre hension the evident desire of the Emperor to extend his grasp so that his realms will include Persia and Afghanistan and closely adjoin the Punjab. The Russian government is extending its railway system so as to be able iu au emergency to swift ly transport an army; from St. Pet ersburg to the frontier. Its rail roads now extend to the Black Sea and a line is nearly finished down' the valley of the -Kur river.: from the eastern end of the Black to the Caspian Sea. It is proposed to ex tend it further around the. South shore of the Caspian to Astrahad from whence it is. only A ’ short dis tance to Herat in Afghanistan, the outpost of British influence. Iii. time of war- tlie Russian’ troops could be transported to Astrahad in six days and a half, while it would tako England thirty-five, days to transport soldiers to Quetta, 'and.the RuBBian outpost is 200. miles near er Herat than Quetta. Besides: ail this, the railroad in time of peace would divert the trade of the Asia tic countries to Russia and have a tendency to. loosen the hold of Britain upon India. To counterbal ance this evil it is proposed to build a railroad from the eastern end of the Mediterranean to Bag dad, on the Tigris river, from which point a line of steamers rut ton that river and the Euphrates Bussurah, and a second line between the lit ter city and Bombay.. Much, as such a railroad would shorten the route to India, it would still be im perfect until extended down the, Euphrates valley to . the Persian gulf, and even then Russia would have an advantage. It is not im probable that the Euphrates Valley railroad will be .built, for Englaud. must perfect her channels of inter course with India at any cost It seems strange to think of a locomo five rushing through this ancient laud past Nineveh and.. Babylou to Bagdad and the Sea of Persia, but it is likely to happen, for the East is the principal garden^of England. Yet, after, all, a controversy .may spring up .which will result in the breaking out of hostilities .between Russia and Britian in which a por tion, at least, of India may be wrested from the grasp of. Us pres ent owner a't'td pass under the Czar. For these reasons the extention_of the Russian railway aystem is look ed upon with interest throughout the world. ... WaL r. E. W. ALFRIEND.
