THB AGKTOOLTUBAt, CONVENTION.
Macon, Ga , Dec. 11,1868.
No more important event in relation \o the
material advancement and prosperity of Georgia,
lias occurred iu many years than the meeting of
ihe Agricultural and Manufacturing, the Farm
ers and the Slate Agricultural Societies now
merged and united under the name of the State
Agricultural Association of Georgia. The char
acter and standing of the delegates, the earnest
ness which animated their deliberations, the
uni'y of purpose which they manifested, and the
entire absence of all the arts which distinguish
political conventions, give assurance that the fu
ture of old Georgia will be vastly benefited by
the work which has been planned and the mea
sures taken by the Association on yesterday and
to-day.
The first 6tcp taken by the three societies
above named was to fuse and revive in the per
sons all the delegates present, the old State Ag
ricultural Association, which in former days
was productive of so much good to
the State. Soon thereafter David Dickson,
of Hancock, the renowned cotton planter, was
elected President of the society, as a well
deserved tribute to his fame as a practical agri
culturist and the benefits which he has conferred
upon the whole farming population. Col. B. C.
Yancey, of Athens, and six other gentlemen, one
from each congressional district, were chosen
vice-presidents, and in the absence of Mr. Dick
son, C-»l. Yancey, as first vice-president, took
the chair and presided over the convention with
that ability and dignity which characterize him
at all times. Col. Yancey has been the Presi
dent of the Cotton Planters’ Association and of
the Agricultural and Manufacturing Society, and
it is largely due to his efforts and influence that
we arc indebted for the present gathering of the
representatives of the industrial interests of
Georgia. Hon. David W. Lewis, of Hancock,
ihe loruier President of the State Agricultural
Society, was unanimously elected Secretary of
the new society, and it will be universally admit
ted that no better choice could have been made.
Mr. Lewis’ patriotic services in times past in the
cause of agriculture, and the many sacrifices he
made to promote the good and efficiency of the
society, entitle him to the thanks of every farmer
iu Georgia. Hr. James Camak, of Athens, was
elected Treasurer.
After the appointment of an executive commit
tee of fifteen members, composed of leading rep
resentatives of all the great industrial interests
from every part of the State, and the appoint
ment of various st&ndiDg committees, the
question of foreign emigration was discussed at
length and with much ability. Judge Schley ot
Chatham, Mr. B. T. Harris of Putnam, Colonel
M C. FuUon of Athens, Colonel D. E. Butler of
Morgan, Mr. Reese ot Macon, the presiding offi
cer, Colonel Yancey, and others participating in
the discussion, all acknowledging the import
ance ot a well regulated system for the promo
tion of foreign immigration, and the necessity
of legislative action to carry the plan into effect.
A very able, carefully considered, and elaborate
paper on the whole subject, from the pen of Col.
F. Schaller, was read by that gentleman, which
was so fully approved and commended that the
thanks of the body were tendered to Col Schaller,
and the paper ordered to be printed among the
proceedings of the Association. Colonel Schal-
ler’s plan recommends the creation by the Leg
islature of an Emigration Bureau with its princi
pal office at Savannah, and the appointment of
a Chief Commissioner and four Commissioners
to reside in Great Britain, the Ger-
mauic Confederation, - France, and Italy,
respectively, and there promote th« emigra
tion to Georgia of the best class of settlers,
who will buy our surplus lands, and contribute
their enterprise, skill, intelligence, and means, to
the development of the now dormant resources
of Georgia. These agents must, iu the first in
stance, be paid by the State, but the plan pro
vides that after some time, when the machinery
is put iu motion, the whole system will become
self-sustaining and not require the appropriation
of a dollar. Probably at a cost ot $10,000, the
movement couid be inaugurated, and with an
almost certainty of success. Every detail is
provided for, every point is guarded, and every
recommendation given in clear, precise lan
guage, by one fully competent from knowledge
and experience to prepare a plan for legislative
adoption.
A committee was appointed to consider Col.
Schaller’8 paper, and memorialise the legislature
ou the subject, with the view to the passage of
such laws as may be found to be necessary to
cany out a good plan of immigration.
Another subject of importance was re
ferred to a special committee appointed for
the purpose, namely, whether wages in money,
or a share of the crop, is the most advantageous
mode of compensating negro labor, in the in
terest of both employer and employed. The
committee was specially instructed to consider
this subject and present a written report on it at
an early day.
It was distinctly avowed that the emigration
movement is not and was never intended to be
antagonistic to the interests and welfare ot the
negroes. It is to encourage the immigration of
settlers, not mere laborers, that it is proposed,
and the larger the-numberof employers becomes
the more the interest of the negro laborer is ad
vanced and protected. This subject was clearly
stated to guard against the misrepresentations
which radical demagogues will be sure bo make
with a view to the further demoralization of the
negroes.
It has rarely been my lot to be present at a
convention composed of more able, intelligent,
and earnest men. In a letter hastily written
after the adjournment of the convention, in order
to save the mail, it is impossible to do justice to
the subject In a inture letter 1 propose to
dwell at greater length and with more detail on
the proceedings, confident that the readere of
the Intelligencer can have nothing more in
teresting presented to them, than the views ex
pressed during the past two days upon the great
subjects for the discussion ot which the Agricul
tural Society was convened.
The greatest interest is felt in the movement.
Large numbers ot new members joined, enrolled
their names, and paid their subscription of $2.
One member, Mr. Thurston Bloom, handed in
a list ot 101 members and a roll of $202, the re
sult of a couple of hours’ effort Tbe same in
terest sbouldanimate every one in the State.
Our success in the future depends on our own
exertions, and in no direction can they be turn
ed more hope®Uy than to the development ot
the vast resources which we possess, but have
never learned to develop. %*

RAILROADS.
Washington, Dec. 11, 1868.
Representatives of a number ol railroad pro
jects which seek grants of land or other mate
rial aid from the Government, are here in force.
Chief among these projects are those of tbe
Southern Pacific road, now iu course of con
struction through Texas, and the International
road, which is proposed to be built lrom some
point west of Cairo, Illinois—perhaps through
Missouri, Arkansas, and thence through Mexico,
having a terminus at San Bias or Mazatlan. It
is understood arrangements have already been
perfected to secure the right of way, as well as
grants ot land from the Mexican Government.
There are a number of other minor projects,
but tbe above are the most important.
REDTVIVU8.
Private letters from Virginia and the Carolines
report tbe people rapidly recovering from the
fearlul effect of the late civil war, and that with
in another year their industrial pursuits will
agaiu he established on a firm basis. They
express the opinion that the several rulings of
Chiet Justice Chase, during the last session of
the Circuit Court in Richmond, have tended
greatly to establish confidence.
REVENUE COMMISSIONERBHIP.
Aspirants to the position of Revenue Commis
sioner are hot alter that office, but whom the
President will select is not positively known.
As you have been heretofore advised, so now it
seems probable that the name ot Alexander Cum
mings, of Philadelphia, will be sent in, bis
friends claiming that he would have been con
firmed if the Senate had not adjourned in July
while the ballot was being taken thereon. Col.
Otis Morse, of Ohio, and Congressman Wood-
bridge, of Vermont, are alo spoken of. General
Wisewell is not in the ring, and says he would
not accept.
HELEN WESTERN,
the actress, died this morning at the Kirkwood
House. Airs. Western was taken sick in Pitts
burg about five weeks since, of congestion of the
bowels, aud came to this city about eighteen
days since, to play an engagement at Wall’s
Opera House, and on the first night of her ap
pearance was taken so ill as to render it neces
sary for her to be removed from the stage. She
was then confined to her room until to-day
week, when, at the advice of her attending phy
sician, she appeared on the stage on that night,
and on tbe Saturday following she was again
compelled to retire to her bed, which she never
left afterwards. Yesterday afternoon Dr. A. Y.
S. Garrett was called in, and after an examina
tion, pronounced her case fatal. On Wednesday
she was very cheerful, and remarked that she
would soon be well and able to follow her pro
fession. Oq that day, however, the proprietor
of tbe hotel notified her agent that he had rented
her room to another party, and that it would be
necessary for them to change to another, which
was done. The exertion of the removal excited
and aggravated her disease, aud was the imme-.
diate cause of her death.
DR. VAN CAMP,
agent of the Louisville, Harrodsburg, aud Vir
ginia Railroad, is now here, and is making fine
progress. He has had interviews recently with
prominent railroad and financial men, whose
aid has been enlisted in the road.
PATENT EXAMINERS.
The committee who have been examining the
qualifications ot examiners in the Patent Office
has reported in favor of discharging twenty who
were declared incompetent.
OHIO SUPERVISOR.
The Secretary of the Treasury to-day confirm-
firmed Gen. Young as Supervisor ot the South
ern District of Ohio. It should be stated that
the office sought the General, as Gen. Schenck
had him appointed without his solicitation,
merely telegraphing to him that, if he would ac
cept the office, it would be tendered him.
MAJOR GENERAL MEADE
has been directed to repair to this city, ou some
public business, at such time this month as, in
his judgment, the public interest will permit.
GEN. 8TONEMAN.
arrived m this city this morniug. Tbe General
called at army headquarters and had an inter
view with Gen. Graut.
OUTRAGEOUS.
The Secretary of the Treasury will shortly
discharge all negroes in the department who
were not in the army. Their places are to be
filled by disabled soldiers. A number of these
negroes have been in the department for many
years, and are quite independent.
COL. J. STODDARD JOHNSTON,
messenger, deposited the electoral vote of Ken
tucky with the President to-day.
SPECULATIVE.
The rumor current that Washbnrne will be
Grant’s Secretary of the Treasury is mere guess
work. There is the best authority for stating
that General Grant has not as yet selected his
Cabinet.
MISSISSIPPI DELEGATION.
A delegation from Mississippi arrived to night
for the purpose of protesting against Congress
recognizing and adopting the constitution de
feated in that State five or six months go. Lieu
tenant-Colonel Riddle and other army officers
are among the delegation.
ALABAMA CORRESPONDENCE.
The Secretary of State, it is now said, will
not, in response to a resolution in the House re
questing the correspondence of the Alabama
claims, submit it to that body. The President,
however, wilt send in a special message Monday
explaining that it cannot be submitted at present
without embarrassing negotiations.
Pollard—The Last of the Southern Opin
ion.
The last number of the Southern Opinion, a
memorial number, edited by E. A. Pollard, Esq.,
brother of the deceased editor, appeared on Sat
urday last, according to announcement, with
sixteen of its wide columns devoted to the de
tails of the late homicide. The paper contains
no reading matter not connected with the late
editor, and the sad affair which resulted in his
death
In the Darr&tive Mr. Pollard says that a war
rant had been gotten out for his arrest on ar
riving at Richmond after learning ot his broth
er’s death, “by tbe cowards who had murdered
his (my) brother.” He also says that “through a
whole day and until midnight I walked the
streets of Richmond, from door ro door, to obtain
legal counsel against my brother’s murderer,”
and that there was no question of lee, that being
assured. He says :
I went to a raau whom my murdered brother,
when an editor, had raised to public office, who
had formerly been the counsel of my brother in
other cases, and who had expressed great
friendship lor myself; when in the conduct cf
the old Examiner, I had been in a position to do
him favors. That man refused. ALore than this,
(and there is a witness to it,) he allowed me to
unburden my whole case; to tell who were my
witnesses, to expose what I expected to prove,
and alter thus possessing himselt ot all the
points against the murderer, he then (after the
lapse of a half hour’s conversation,) coldly told
me that he was the friend ot the murderer’s
family and could not appear against him.
Yet another lawyer was applied to. He had
been a college mate of mine. I appealed to
him, almost with tears in my eyes. This man
answered : “Air. Ppliard, if I was you, consider
ing the state of public opinion. I would not be
active in prosecuting the ifturderer. Public
opinion, sir, would not sustain me.” “Sir,” I
replied—and the midst of tears in my eyes must
have broken with a blaze Gt scorn—“ public
opinion may have its weight; hut there is a time
when the true and the brave man. in the execu
tion of duty—the honorable advocate—throws
it from him as a contemned and despised thing;
throws it as a base fetter into the gutter!
In regard to the “fatal article” Air. Pollard ad
mits that it was “improper,” and does not at
tempt to defend it, though he thinks there were
palliating circumstances—certainly enough to
have saved his brother from the “doom of being
shot through the back with a load of buckshot
from the garret of an assassin.”
In view of the card of Mr. Hanna, to the effect
that he (Hanna) objected to the “prostitution” of
the Southern Opinion, aud that he (Hanna) had
at times prepared paragraphs for insertion that
caused him (Hanna) keener pain than it did
those for whom they were intended, &c. Mr.
E. A. Pollard recalls and annuls any excuses
made in behalf of Hanna.
Of the burial ol the remains he says :
“It was inexpressibly touching to" those who
mourned tne dead to notice, when the remains
passed out of Richmond, what marks ot respect
were shown all along the road. At Charlotts-
ville, where the remains were delayed over
night many of the leading citizens called to ex
press their deep sympathy to the brother, E. A.
Pollard—insisted on sitting by the corpse through
the night, and the next morning when the re
mains were placed on tbe Orange and Alexan
dria train to be conveyed to their last resting-
place iu Ntlson county, they were borne to the
cars by a committee of citizens and a . large
crowd looked on with respectful sympathy.
They were buried iu the cemetery at ‘Oakridge,’
once tbe property of the Rives iamily, now own
ed by Wiiliaui Porcher Miles.”
The roll of the House of Representatives,
when it shall meet to-uay, will bear the names

Chief at Dunlap, Iowa. Several hundred In

their first acts was to get the blanket away from
him. This he finally recovered. They then
took his tomahawk, and when he tried*to get
this back they struck him with it. This induced
the Chief to make efforts to get back bis hatchet
by force, when he was struck a cowardly blow
and killed. This outrageous conduct aroused
the indingation of his comrades, and they
came in foice to town, telling in plain English
it the villains who had perpetrated the crime
were not at once apprehended, they woold barn
the place. They had force enough on hand to
do it, but the authorities there at once took steps
to secure the dastardly scoundrels. One of them
got away, and the other is in custody and will
be tried.

T HIS GUANO is fonnd by experb-nce to po Bess fully

izing power than Peruvian Gnano. Its cost per ton is
at least $80 less than Peruvian; hence, planters can
afford to use it more liberally, and thus realize greater
benefits.
According to tbe experience of Wm. H. Young, Esq.,
of Columbus. Ga., to whom wo reler, 20» pounds per

between the rows, before the plows. This is found to
be a bitter method than to apply all in ihe drill.
This Guauo not only increases theorop so largely, but
matures it from two to four weeks earlier—thus adding
so long a time to the bearing season, and makee a good
crop, notwithstanding it be attacked by caterpillar.
The use of this Guano in Georgia ou the last
paid from 800 to 400 p.r cent, on the investment.
Every planter, who is incredulous as to these facts,
should at bast satisfy hi-oself by a trial on a rinal! scale,
as the outlay will be small, while the experience gained
will jR-ove of great value. The culture of poor laud will
not compensate without the use of concentrated ferti
lizers, and that which ie best, at least cost, mast be pre
ferred. See testimonials annexed. For farther iafor-

It came fully ap to my expectations, and I cheerfully

John B. Eeese A Co: Bear Airs—Another season con
firms my previously expressed convictions, that the
Soluble Pacific Guauo, as compared with Peruvian, is
fully as good—indeed, better. 1 have now tested it suf
ficiently, rasing each side by side for two seasons, apply
ing the same weight of each per acre, ana in every case
the Pacific has given tbe best results on cotton, com,
potatoes, and small grain, and the testimony I have
lrom a great many planters confirms my experience.
WM. H. YOUNG.
Charles A. Peabody, Esq., of Lee county, Alabama, in
a letter to William H. Young, says:
“ The Peruvian Guano I had before used, and know it
to be an invaln .ble ferti.izer for cotton. I now find the
Soluble Pacific to be equally as good. At the same
price, I would as soon have it for cotton or corn as the
Peruvian; some of my hands insist that it is better.”

OT THS SCHIIPAM A RO RATIO SCHNAPPS,
St Bsaver Street, New York, Nov. S, 1888.
To the People of the Southern States:
When the pure medicinal reatoratlve, now so widely
known as Wolfe’s Schiedam Schnapps, was introduced
into the world under the endorsement of fonr thousand
•ading members of the medical profession some twenty
years ago, its proprietor was well aware that it could
not wholly escape the penalty attached to all now and
useful preparations. He, therelore, endeavored to in
vest it with strongest possible safeguard against coun
terfeiters, and to render all attempt# to pirate it difficult
and dangerous. It was submitted to distinguished
chemists for enalysis, aud pronounced by them the pu
rest spirits ever manufactured. Its purity and properties
having been thus ascertained, samples of theartic.e were
forwarded to tea thousand physicians, including &U the
leading practitioners In the United States, for purposes
of experiment. A circular, requesting a trial of the pi a-
paration and report of tbe result, accompanied each spe
cimen. Four thousand ol the most eminent medical men
ia ihe Union promptly responded. Their opinions of
the artiele were unanimously favorable. Such a prepara
tion, they said, had long been wanted by the profession,
as no reliance could be placed on the ordinary liquor* of
commerce, all of which were more or less adulterated,
and therefore unfit for modi cal purposes. The peculiar
excellence and strength of the oil of juniper, which form
ed one of tho principal ingredients of the Schnapps, to
gether with an unalloyed character ot the alcoholio ele
ment, give it, in the estimation of the faculty, a marked
superiority over every other diffusive stimulant as a diu
retic, tonio, and restorative.
These satisfactory credential* lrom professional men
of the highest rank were published in a condensed form,
aud enclosed with each bottle of the Schnapps, as one of
the guarantees of ita genuineness. Other precautions
against fraud were al*o adopted; a patent was obtained
or the article, the label was copyrighted, a fac simile o
the proprietor’s autograph signature was attached to
each label and cover, his name and that of the prepara
tion were embossed on the bottles, and the corks were
sealed with his private seaL No article had ever been
sold In this country under tho name of Schnapps prior
to Hie introduction of Woife’a Schiedam Aromatic
Schnapps, in 1861; and the label was deposited, as bis
trade mark, in the United States District Court for the
Southern District of Now York during that year.
It might be supposed by persons unacquainted with
tbe daring character of the pirates who prey upon the
reputation of honorable merchants by vending delete
rious trash under their name, that the protections so
carefully thrown around these Schnapps would have pre
cluded the introductions and sale ot counterfeits. They
seem, however, only to have stimulated the rapacity of
impostor*. The trade mark or the proprietor h^s been
stolen; the indorsement whiah his bchisdsm Aromatic
Schnapps alone received from the medical profession
has bean claimed by mendacious humbugs; his labels
and bo sties have bean imitated, his advertisements para
phrased, his circulars copied,'and worse than all, dishon
orable retailers, after disposing of the genuine contents
of his bottles, have filled them up with common gin, tne
most deleterious of ail liqnore, and thus made his name
and brand a cover for poison.
The public, the medical profession, and the sick, fat
whom the Behxedam Aromatic Schnapps is prescribed as
a remedy, are equally interested with the proprietor in
the detection and suppression of these nefarious prac
tices. The genuine article, manufactured at the estab
lishment of the undersigned, iu Schiedam, Holland, is
distilled from a barley of the finest quality, and flavored
with an essential extract of the berry of the Italian juni
per, of nuequaled purity. Bv a process unknown in the
preparation of any other liquor, it is freed from every
(acrimonious and corrosive element.
' Complaints have bean received from the leading physi
cians and families in the Southern Suites of the sale of
cheap imitatioii* of the Schiedam Aromatic Schnapps in
those markets, and travelers who are in the habit of
using it as an antidode to the baneful influence of un
wholesome river water, testify that cheap gin, put np in
Sheridan bottles, is frequently palmed off upon the un
wary. The agents of the undersigned have been request
ed to institute inquiries on the subject, and to forward
to him the names of sneh parties as they may ascertain
to be engaged in the atrocious system of decaption. In
conclusion, the undersigned would say that he has pro
duced, from under the hands of tbe most distinguished
men of science in America, proofs unanswerable of the
purity and medicinal excellence of the Schiedam Aro
matic Sehnappa; that he has expended many thousand
dollars in earroanding it wj^guarantees and safeguards
which he designed should protect tbe public and himself
against fraudulent imitations; that he has shown it to be
the only liquor in the world that can be uniformly do.
pended upon as unadulterated; that he has challenged
investigation, analysis, comparaison, and ••-xperLnienf
all its forms; and from every ordeal the preparation
which b are his name, seal, and trade mark, has come off
triumphant. He therefore feels it a dnty he owes to his
fellow-citiBuns generally, to the medical profession and
the stale, to denounce and expos* the charlatans who
counterfeit these evidences of identity, and he calls upon
the press and the public to aid him in his efforts to rem
edy so great an evil.
The following letters and certificates from the leading
physicians and chemists ol this city will prove to the
reader that all goods sold by the undersigned are all they
are represented to he.
UDOLPHO WOLFE.
I feel bound to say that I legard your Schnapps as be
ing in every respect pre-eminently pure, and deserving of
medical patronage. At all events, it is the purest possi
ble article of Holland Gin, heretofore unobtainable, and
as such may he safely prescribed by physicians.

Vdalpho Wolfe, Beq., Tresmt:
Dear Sir—I have made a chemical examination of a
sample of your Schiedam Schnapps, with ihe Intent of
determining if any foreign or injurious substanoe* had
been added to tbe simple distilled spirits.
The examination has resulted in the cenolnsion that
the sample contained no poisonous or harmful admix
ture. I have been unable to discover any trace of the
deleterious substances whioh are employed in Ihe adul
teration of liquors. I would not hesitate to use myself,
or to reeommeadto others, for medicinal purposes the
Schiedam Schnapps as on excellent and unobjectionable
variety of gin.
Very respectfully yours,

Dear Sib—I have submitted to chemical analysis two
bottles of Schiedam Schnapps, which I took from a fresh
package in your bonded warehouse, and find as before,
that tiie spirituous l.quor is free from injurious ingredi
ents or falsification ; that it has the marks of being aged
and not recently prepared by mechanical admixture ot
aloohol and aromatics.

Dear Sir—The want of pure wines and liquors forma
dictcal purposes has been long felt by tbe profession,
and thousands of lives have been sacrificed by the use of
adulterated articles. Delirium tremens, and other dis
eases of the brain and nerves so rife in this country, are
▼ery rare in Borope, owing, in a great degree, to the dif
ference in tbe purity of the spirits sold.
We have tested the several articles Imported and sold
by you, ineluding your Gin, which you sell under the
name of Aromatic Schiedam Schnapps, which we con
sider justly entitie<Pto the tigh reputation it has acqnired
in this coantry; and from your long experience as a for
eign importer, your Bottled Wine* and Liquors should
meet with the ean.e demand.
We wouid recommend you to appoint some of the re
epeccable apothecaries in different parts of the city a
agents lor the sale of your Brandies and Wines, wher
the profession can obtain the same when needed for
medicinal purposes.
Wishing you success in yomr new enterprise,
