M., pursn- aut to adjournment, and was called to order by President Conley. Prayer by Rev. Wesley Frettyman. The Roll wsu called, and the Journal of the last day read and approved. Mr. Holcomb offered a resolution calling on the Secretary ot tbe Senate to ask ot the House the return of the bill amending the act incorpo rating the Brunswick and Albany Railroad. Mr. Hungerford made the point that the bill could not be recalled unless by a vote of two- thirds. Mr. Holcomb thought there could be no doubt cf the right ot either House to recall any paper transmitted therefrom; that tUa bill had been bnrried through without proper considera tion. aud that it proposed to contribute a large amount oi m >oev tor constructing a railroad wholly unaided by private subscription. The President ruled that the resolntion could not be entertained unless fraud in its passage could be shown, which not being done the matter was dropped. The bill authorizing the Governor to issue State-Bands to meet all oatstanding bonds and the interest thereon falling due before January 1st, 1871, which bonds to ran twenty with interest thereon to be paid mqff-ei at 7 per cent in gold coupons, being tbe order lor to-day was that taken u.

Mr. Merrell moved to take up hy sections the (nil to organize the District Courts and define the jurisdiction thereof and for other purpowe. Holcomb insisted" on tbe motion, which was carried. The first section was read. Mr, Smith at the 7th offered an amendment excepting the Seventh District from the opera- tioa at the bill. Messrs- McArthur and Hoi...mb proposed amendments excepting the Fiiu. utii and Thir ty-ninth Districts. Mr. Merrell opposed all amendments on the grounds that from the galore ol the bill it must operate universally. Mr. Hnjoomh said that lus district (39tb) had no use for inch a court, and]was unwilling u» be taxed unnecessarily to rapport the officer* oi it, and that the sessions ol Superior Court iii-ioare generally not longer than two days. He saw nothing unfair or unconstitutional in the amend ment. Mr. Candler insisted that the Constitution provided fur such a court “in each district” and under that the biji must be uniform. Mr. Smith believed the Legislature had power tp allow such exceptions to the bill under the danse “unless the Legislature shall otherwise direct." Mr. Hinton in an able argument maintained the constitutionality of the amendments pro posed. Mr? Qunning opposed the bill as general. He ived that the districts needing such a court in the minority, thatits -fbHubment would increase iitisstfeh. Mr. Campbell opposeii the -»»' lb. Wootten spoke & favor of the bilL He reviewed the history at tbe County Courts, and explained the necessity of establishing some: tribunal in their stead. & believed more ex it now incurred ,by the country for want of such a court than its existence would cause. Mr. Bradley argued, that the creation of the District Court is imperative under the Constitu tion providing that tbe “District Court shall ex ist until otherwise directed by the Legislation*** Mr. Brock insisted at langth that the Consti tution makes special provision for these exeep- ving power to the Legislature other wise to direct. Mean. Higbee and Matthews favored the passage ot tbe bill as a whole and claimed that tbe exceptions may be Afterwards made. Mr. Smith (36tb) called the previous question on the first section of the lull. Pending discussion of the call, the hour of one having arrived, the Chair declared the oou- aideration of the bill postponed until to-morroW. On motion the time was extended for the pur pose of reading bills.

Bills were read the second time. On motion the Senate then adjourned. HOUSE. House met at the-usual hour, Speaker Me-. Whorter in tii* Chair. Prayer by Rev. Mr. Crumley. The Journal of yesterday’s proceedings was read. Mr. Bryant moved to reconsider so much of yesterday’s proceedings as relate to the passage Of a bill to grant to certain persons, therein named, the right to dig and mine in the beds of navigable streams idr phosphate rock, etc. He advocated the proposition to reconsider and op posed the measures of the bill at some length, principally on account of tbe magnitude and ex clusiveness of the privileges guaranteed. Mr. Bethune spoke in favor ol reconsideration and said that, aside from the privileges which are too vast and exclusive, the rights of the people are interferred with by granting this measure which proposes to give away their rights to other people. Mr. Harper, of Terrell, advocated the bill and opposed the motion to reconsider. He said that it is the duty of the people and their Legislators to develop the resources of this State, and the only way to develop these phosphate deposits is to grant the right to mine for them, to certain persons and to protect those persons in this right. For, unless they are protected no one will be lound who will undertake the hardships and risks of making the explora tions, if as soon as these discoveries are made some other persons can get a charter, come in and reap the benefit of their labors ; that the only objection some of the opponents have, is that somebody will make money, but that he desires that the parties named in the bill should make money, for iney are men who live in the State, and their money will benefit our people. Mr. Price thought that the bill had been suffi ciently discussed, and has been twice reported on with amendments proposed, but that those amendments have been disregarded and the bill forced through. The committee recommend that the right between the fravaunah and Ogeeche rivers, which is territory enough for these parties, be granted, and yet they clamor for the whole State—that a bill similar to this has worked great wrong to the mass ot the people there—he hoped that the motion to reconsider would pie- vaiL • Mr. Hall, of Glynn, opposed the motion to reconsider, he said that tbe parties named in the bill are pioneers In this enterprise and they risk a great deal and should be protected if they suc ceed—that the tact ot allowing them to mine in beds ot navigable streams below low water mark, does not interlere with the rights ot pri vate individuals. Mr. McWhorter remarked that this company was organized to find out whether there are any deposits in the rivers ol this State—that the de posit obtained trom tbe rivers is not guano until mixed with real guano, and is not worth more than twenty dollars per ton. Mr. Lane, of Brooks, spoke in favor of the bOl, and urged the necessity of encouraging this enterprise, so as to keep within our limits the immense Bum suoually expended abroad for fertilizers. Mr. Lane called the previous question on the motion to reconsider, which call was sustained. Mr. Bryant called for the yeas and nays, with the following result—Teas 56 ; nays 43. Mr. Bantam moved to reconsider the action of the House on yesterday, in recommitting to a committee a bill to protect the agricultural in terest ot Stewart county. Mr. Price favored the motion to reconsider, and said that scarcity of fences and timber will compel the experiment proposed to be made^ to-wit: keeping up stock, Ac. Mr. Turner opposed the motion and argued that the bill will work a hardship on the poorer d. Til' IM I A i ’ .1 The ynia and imy* were demanded. Pectat, ot Ghathaiq moved to adjourn.— Which motion the temporary Speaker refused to entertain. Whereupon about two-thirds of the Republican members summarily left the Houae. !

Speaker McWhorter in the chair. Mr. Turner moved to adjourn until 10 A. M. to morrow. On which motion the yeas and days were demanded with the following result: yeas 34. nays 57. Speaker McWhorter stated that he was called off this morning, and that he called for the Speaker pro ton., and learned that he was sick ; that he asked Mr. Price to preside, and learned from bim that he tyaptod to participate in the debate ; that be then called upon Mr. Harper of Terrell who came to tbe chair, and that he made this state- use he tl Mr. Tamlm remarked that he represents an adjoining county, and hoped that the Houae would rescind its action on this bilL Mr. Tomlin called tbe previous question, which call was sustained and tbe motion to re consider prevailed. Mr. Lee, Chairman of a special committee, reported a bill to cede certain lands as National Cemeteries, to the United States. The special order of the day “ the Senate Savannah bill,” was taken up. Mr. Shumate made the point of order that a House hill exactly like the Senate bill having been indefinitely postponed that it is uu.i»-i the Constitution, incompetent lor tbe House i.> en tertain the same subject mauer ugh in, atier final disposition ot it, uaieas by a vote oi t«u thirds of ibt iioibc, Mr. Porter said that the Speaker had ruled when this question was np before, that the Sen ate bill could be entertained. Mr. Harper, of Terrell, temporarily in the Chair, ruled that Mr. Shumate’s point of order was well taken. From which ruling Mr. Bryant appealed* Vi; Shumate aad argued forcibly that the similar, and on having been dispoeed other could not be entertained, and that it- tins ruling is not sustained, there would beno 1 dila'- minauonof measures before the Legislature. Hr. Darnell asked if this prqgramtbe hkdhteen The Speaker said that no programme had arranged, to bis knowledge: Mr. Shumate called the previous question on the appeal. he thought it doe to himself and _Jy moved to lay the whole, subject t6 the Savannah bill on the table, the call of the yeas and nays, been called, a motion of adj ourn- made.

Mr. Bryant refuted all charges made against himaelf, Ac. The call for the yeas and nays wsa resumed, and the motion to adjourn waa last. The Speaker decided to go back where the OUee left off this morning, so the yeas and nays t the appeal from Mr. Harper’s ruling were called with the following result; yeas 49, nays 4G. Bo Mr. Harper’s ruling was sustained. A motion to adjourn until 10 A. M., to-morrow prevailed. Ftom the New York World. The Surrender of Napoleon. Mens, Mens, Tekel, UphahsiN. If ever the awtnl words that flamed in judgment on Belshazzar's palace wall fitted the solemn story Of a tailing, throne and a broken sceptre, they fit the tragic scene which passed at Sedan on Friday, the second of September. No details Worthy ot credit have yet reached us ot the events which led directly to the surrender of Napoleon 11L in person to William L ot Prus sia. It is not probable that any such details reach us for many a day to come. For, 5 the immediate past of those terrific days of battle which preceded the catastrophe cannot possibly be chronicled with intelligence and accuracy till the swords ot the combatants are sheathed and the archives of the armies become the harvest of the historian, the immediate future also lowers with yet unlilted clouds of war. Mencrypeace! peace! on-the market-places of London and of Brussels. Under the beautiful linden trees of Berlin the children go in pro cession chanting hymns of peace. But there is no peace yet; nor until all these hopes become facts can we expect to learn fully and with truth precisely how, lor the second time, the star of the Napoleons came thus suddenly to set Jh blood among the hills and woods of the Dimes. But we need not wait ior these de- tails and moving incidents of tbe great drama to see and seize its one duuuuant and significant moral. The Prince whom the proudest aud most fiery of the European races thrice elected to rule over them haB practically lost by the sword what he received from the ballot. -The monarch whom for nearly twenty years Europe recognized as her arbltjer of peace is to-day a prisoner of war. The modem Augustus ot Fi a ice, like his pro totype of Rome, has wrecked, iu a mighty con- flirt with the descendants ot Antonins, not tbe legions of Varus only, but the Empire which those legions upheld. Unlike his prototype of Roqm, however, the French Caesar has shared the disaster of his soldiers; and the cry which ranft'so desolately tti rough the imperial cham- of the Palatine he that was yesterday toaster oi the Tuileries must shut within his own heart in toe silence of his exile. For in those awful words of old is his modem story told ; “Mene, >e, Tekel, Upharuu.” He lias been weighed in toe balance and lound wanting. The crash of the Empire is its final and irre versible criticism. The Emperor has fallen— clearly, unmistakably, undeniably—because he deserved to fall. And he deserved to fall, as all men may now clearly see—and here for us in America is th£ lesson ot the great event—be cause he Was an Emperor. It is the system that has surrendered, not the man. For now, it ever, is the time for all calm and candid men to do justice.to the great qualities, alike of mind and ot character, which nave enabled Louis Na poleon Bonaparte for nearly the lifetime of a generation, to fill the most conspicuous position in toe civilized world with so ranch skill and force, with so much prudence and forecast, and with such a varied capacity as will insure to his name, in toe annals of our times, a place as marked and as marvellous as that of any sover eign recorded in history. Tiio^e mistakes of his reigD, which can be clearly traced to errors of judgment on his own part, may easily be par alleled alike as to number and as to magnitude in the career ol any one of the most illustrious among the rulers of mankind. His greatest polit ical blunders have not been greater than those of the first Napoleon; his military misadven tures have been much less numerous, and it is still pretoature to pronounce them more disas trous to his people, than those of the great Frederic. The manner ot his advent to power, however bitterly it may be denounced,, was a less flagrant outrage upon the principles of liberty and sound government than toe Steps by which Cromwell seized toe dictatorship of Eagland or Cmsar the helm of toe Roman state. The wars upon which be has entered have been undertaken in no such flat contempt of the re cognized modern standards oi international right as toe armed adventures of his now successful antagonist, Count Bismarck. Even in that en terprise ot his reigu which has most drawn down upon him the hostility ot Americans, it should be easy tor temperate and considerate men, viewing him now as a character in history, notes a power in politics, to admit that there was so element ot quixotic interest in a decrepit race and a dying nationality not toe less creditable to his generous instincts as a man that it was neither judicious nor practical on his part as a ruler. The liberation and reconstitution ot Italy was hit work. To his action in the Cri mean war, more thau to any one other extrinsic cause, Germany herself is indebted for her emancipation from that overshadowing domina tion ot the Russian Cxarism under, which the events ot 1815 left her blighted and powerless, and which was made darker and more chilling than ever by the failure ot her ill-combined and ill-conridered efforts at revolution in 1848. Within the limits of the French Empire an enormous development of material prosperity, in the main judiciously fostered and profitably directed, will be carried by impartial history very largely to the credit of the imperial intel ligence which i-ri****, in the favee of toe tra ditions and the prejudices of the French people, upon the authority ot great economic laws. These things, we say, it is becoming to recall and to recordto-day ot tbe fallen Caesar. And these thingw bring ns to toe moral of his fall. For if a man so much more highly endowed, and in the wHn so much more nobly moved, not only *h»« most princes born in the purple, bat than a decided majority of the elected chiefs < of men, cou'd not make a C®3ari3m a success ' in such a country a Friece, what man in what country can • »• r it.* SO?

Linton Stephens—Hs Aeeepte Uee Nomination of Chairman «| the Stare Democratic Kxecatlve Cei mltteo. Sparta, Ga., September 6th, 1870, Col R. A. Alston. JSecretarit of t/u Democratic Executive Com miitet of Georgia: Dear Sir—Your letter was duly received, in forming me that I was chosen Chairman of the Democratic Executive Committee of this State at a meeting held at Atlanta, on the 1st insC, in pursuance ot a call from the President of the Democratic Convention, to assembleat the time and place stated, and comDlete their organiza tion by electing a Chairman outside of their own number. While sending to toe committee, through you; my acceptance of the position assigned, and my sincere acknowledgment of the honor confer red, I take this occasion to express my own views on a subject which the committee have brought before the public, by taking action on it before their selected Chairman had accepted his appointment, and’ before, therefore, they had a complete organization, or even the number required by the resolution ot the convention, providing for tne formation cf an Executive Committee. The subject to which I allude, is the selection of candidates in the approaching election with reference to their eligibility under existing, so- called laws, and the certainty of their being al lowed to take their seats if elected. The recommendation whfch some members of the committee, in its unorganized and incomplete state, have given to toe peo ple ' on this subject, is already receiv ing different interpretations. For my own part, I am at a total loss to imagine how any mao elected to Congress, trom this State, could hage any “certainty” of being allowed to take his seat without avowing his unconditional ad hesion to the creed of tho Radical party. It the recommendation means this, it will be promptly repudiated by every true Democrat in the Uni ted States; and I will not do the members of the committee, who put forth too recommenda tion, the injustice to believe fpr a single moment that they intended it' to reach to this extent. Nor can I believe, as some suppose, that they intended to advise the people to put up only such candidates as can take the iron-clad or test oath. The difficulty of making a recommenda tion which should present any uniform rule ap plicable alike to elections for Congress and elec tions lor tbe State.{jegi8lature, was foreseen by toe recent Demc-c^tic Convention, and induced the Business Committee of that body, and that body itself, to forego the attempt. 1 must also remark that the gentlemen who have put forth the recommendation in question have fallen into a mistake as to there having been any re commendation on this subject from the Demo cratic Executive Committee of the United States. On the contrary, the whole subject of eligibility of condidates, as affected by so-called disabilities, has been left by the National Demo cratic Organization, and by tbe Democratic State Convention, without any recommendation at all; leaving the members of the party every where perfectly free to shape their action ac cording to their own convictions ot principle aud polity in the different localities. But since the subject has been brought before the public in a quasi official form by members of the com mittee with which 1 aiqtofficially connected, I deem it due to myself to make known my own distinct and strong convictions as to the comse required by sound policy and sanctioned by sound principles. As to members of the Legislature, I think the people should select only those who are free trom all the so-called disabilities; and this, sim ply as a matter of policy. The Legislature will be subject to the manipulation ol the dominant party at Washington, and that party will cer tainly exclude from it all persons who maybe sobject to any of the disabilities, which they have prescribed for, and attempted to fix upon, that class of officers. For toe Legislature we have abondant sound material which is free from all disabilities prescribed for that dang ; and by electing a . Legislature from this material we shall either get a sound administration of State officers, or else drive the enemies of Con stitutional Liberty into the perpetration of some new outrage, and thus pile up and accelerate the retribution which awaits them at the hands ot toe indignant people. It must be borne in mind that the iron-clad or test oath has not yet been required for members of the Legislature. Members of Congress stand on a different foot ing, and with regard to them, I believe a different policy is demanded, in their case the iron clad or test oath is required. Let not our people pur- suade themselves that the party now dominant in Congress will dispense with that oath in in dividual cases dr by general repeal, except for a condition. A price paid or to be paid;- that price will be nothing leas than the acceptance of all their usurpations as “fixed facts,” without even a pledge against unlimited usurpation in the future. I firmly believe it would be far better that our people should remain forever unrepre sented than that they should be misrepresented by men who can take either that oath or get a dispensation from it. It is idle and foolish to expect the Radical party in the present condi tion of affairs, to admit into Congress any real representatives of our people. They will accept only those who would destroy our moral power by misrepresenting and debasing us. Let ns therefore dismiss all idea of getting real repre- senatives into a Congress where there is a Radi cal majority; and let us not forget that a tree Democratic Congress will admit any memheis who may have the qualifications required, by the true Constitution, stripped of the destructive usurpations which are attempted to be foisted upon it, by nb higher authority than Congres sional enactments and Presidential proclama tions. There are and can be no disqua!ideations or disabilities tor members of Congress bat such as are 5 prescribed by the Constitution itself; and by the Constitution, 1 mean that sacred instrument in its parity as contradistinguished from the so- called 14th and loth amendments. This doc trine was solemnly and repeatedly adjudicated by Congress itself in its better days. It has never been violated but by Radical revolutiona ry violence. And never let it bo forgotten that this violation, now perpetrated in the name, and under color, of toe 14th and 15th amend ments, was equally perpetrated t>y the same rev olutionary party before the passage of either one ot those so-called amendments. I remark, just here in passing, that the thirteenth amendment abolishing slavery, stands upon un entirely different footing, and in my judgment, constitutes a valid part ot the Constitution. This doctrine, that the only pos sible disqualifications or disabilities ior members of Congress, are those to be found in the Consti- tuticn itself, al ways observed in the better days ofthe government aud violated only by revolu tionary Radicalism, will certainly be respected and enforced by every true Democratic Con gress in the future. I think, therefore, that we should select mem bers of Congress without the slightest regard to so-called disabilities, except that we should not foil to send at least some who areBUbJect to them and who have abili'y to sho w their invalidity and enormity. They must have a hearing on the ques tion of their rights to seats; and that ques tion well argued on the theater of Congress, would shake this country from centre to circum ference. Our strength lies in attack; in attacking the usurpations and enormities of toe party who are seeking to overthrow our whole system oi government by first crushing oat the States which stand as the obstacle in the way of their scheme of centralization, and consequent unobstructed public plun der. Our strength is in tbe truth, £and their weakness is iu their guilt. Our policy is, not to shrink from the contest, but to wage unremitting war ou the field of truth anti re<*<-<>a; and we must bripg f.,i *..r l-,icb L.«u-s a-t will reveal tiie malignity •<’ iturii jjrp.-Kuj me enormity .ot their guiit. lrl-a ihi. • -rln-u cowardice is lolly huh w.:-*U.u€3xi, 4uj courage is wisdom and strengi b. *v e ate iu vincible ou the issues if they aic lightly made; and let us reuoouber that uohocy ever p-uued a Victory by luuaiug away from the baliic- held, These outline ideas uiay be enlarged it the committee shall hereafter submit an address to the people ol Georgia.. Yours very respectfully, Linton Stephens. A Letter from Ooverner Bollock. We note in the New York Times the follow ing letter addressed by Gov. Bullock to foa editor of that paper, and we publish it that our readers may understand, from the Governor's own pen, toe position he now occupies upon the election question, appending to the letter the qomments of the Times upon it: 7b the Editor of the New York Times: My attention has been called to an editorial article in your paper of the 24th Inst, in which you refer to au allegation by the Atlanta True Geor gian. The newspaper to which you refer is so entire tirely without influence in this commuaity, that X havenotlouad.it necessary to deny this or any other ot its malicious- allegations against myself. At the time the late act for the admission of Georgia was passed by Congress, it was under stood here that the question oi the timofor bold ing an election lor members of the General As sembly had not been*decided by Congress, but had been left for adjudication to the Legis lature of the courts ot this State. This position has also, 1 believe, been maintained in the col umns ot your valuable paper. But since this question has been decided by the National Ad ministration, through Attorney-General Arker- man’s letter, it has been and is toe determination, so far as I know, of toe party, in this State, to excerciae their best endeavors to carry out the wishes of the President iu regard to au election. Rfepus B. Bullock. Executive Department, State ot Georgia, Atlan ta, Ga., August 29,1870. Governor Bullock aud the True Georgian are at issue in regard to a matter of fact. We rt« forred the other day to a remark ot the Atlanta journal; impeaching the good taith ot toe Gov ernor’s action upon the question ot an election in Georgia this tall. We deprecated as little less than fraudulent any measure calculated to hinder an expression of electoral optnion, in defiance of the general expectation which waa excited by the proceedings in Congress, and of the sanction which this expectation has received from Attorney-General Akerman aad the vote of .the tower branch of toe btate Legislature. Aud we expressed toe hope that Gov. Bullock would be able to prove the groundlessuess ot the allegation. The True Georgian thereupon said: e defy Gov. Bullock to deny the ‘allega tion’ of the True Georgian. We have the proof at hand. He dare not do it.” Bat Gov. Ballock “dare do it,” as his letter in another column proves. We receive his closing sentence as a. declaration ot his purpose to Use his official influence in furthering toe election which ought to be held in November. Time will try his professions. Meanwhile, how does Dr. Bard propose to justify himself f—New York limes, , Brides and Groom* at Niagara. June 1s a pleasant month for Cupid’s victims to take the bonds, And so accustomed have the hotel proprietors become to the influx of sub jects for tuture divorces during this month that they make many changes in their general rules and bill of fare for that month, which are, of course, obnoxious to him who has been through toe mill and arrived at that period of life where roast beef goes farther towards satisfying one’s appetite than a dozen kisses on the half shell. One veteran landlord informs us that the ex penses of toe hotel business daring the bride’s month (June) are much less than at any other time during the season, tor said he, “a little sponge cake and a few lemon drops serves as a square meal for a newly married couple, and it don’t make any difference whether the waiters are attentive or not, while one chambermaid can attend to all bell-calls during the month.” What could be more beautiful than this touch ing tribute to pure affection from the lips of toe aged landlord? But a lew come here in July that bear the tell-tale marks ot a new wed ded bliss. It is easy to detect them, however, in spite of the assumed boldness of the bride I room. I saw a couple eater the vestibule of i he Cataract House last evening, who hoped to escape the criticism oi “bride-gazers,” but the disguise was too thin, and in fire minutes both stood revealed in all their deceitful imagery. True, there was an absence of white dimity and feathers, Of silk hat and too tight gloves and bools; the usual signsof fresh victims, and when the lady snappishly exclaimed, “Where’s my fan, Mr. Glidden ?” the delusion seemed com plete, for the usual remark would have been, “George, dear, have you seen my fan?” But I was not to be deceived by appearanoes, and stepping to the clerk’s office, awaited toe arrival of this traveler under false pretenses. He came •—bold as a sheep—seized the pen and wrote with a trembling hand, “Mr. George S. Glidden and wife, Allenmagoozium, Pennsylvania.”— “Do you wish a suit ot rooms?” said the urbane clerk, as he turned the Kohinoor upon his shirt bosom so as to blind tbe unsus pecting Glidden with its rayL “Not” thun dered the latter, “I’m married; one room will do. I’ve got through paying for two rooms.” “All right, sir,” said the clerk, “show him up to the bridal chamber, next to the divorce apart ment.” As he stepped ifito the elevator, pre vious to going up to the aforesaid chamber, 1 heard him say: “ I told you so, Emeliue; it was that blasted perfumery you put on my bandker chief that did it. The minute that hotel clerk got a sniff at that, ‘Ha l’ says be, ‘patobouly ? frhow’em up to the chamber;” by which we were left to iufer that patchouly and bridegrooms are linked in some mysterious manner known only to hotel clerks.—Niagara Falls Litter. Then aud Now. The New York limes says that “ in the port of .New York to-day, not a single vessel ot any magnitude is in course of construction.

From the Marietta Journal. Powder Springs, August 13,1870. Mb. Goodman—There is a great deal said and a great many suggestions made iu regard to the best mode and manner of maintaining aud pre serving the fertility ot our soiL I will, by yonr permission, give you one simple, short idea. Let tbe farmer, instead cf paying out two or three hundred dollars for “commercial ferti lizers” expend that amount in the hire of labor ers, the purchase ofthe moat approved plow im* plements, &x Let him ae?p off stock of all kinds from his stubble lauds, and give back io the soil ai least the spontaneous crop ot grass and weeds. Then, in the months of September and Octo ber, let him turn under all the sec rad growth while there is strength iu it, turning as deep as the surface extends. Haul out all tUe manures about toe farm, such as rotton straw, leaves, the rakings of the oarn-yard, fence corners, ash banks, mack and marl from the swamps, etc., and scatter broad-cast. Then, in the months ot February and March, turn the surface soil azain, following immediately after the turning plow, (in the same furrow,) with a snosoti plow, breaking the subsoil as deeo as practic able, say, ten inches, twenty would be batter, takiag par ticular care not to tarn ap the subsoil, bat let ting it remain in its natural place. The last plowing ol corn ground, cow psi? turning in like manner. Let every farmer get up a cheap mill for the F urpoae ol grinding and mixing bis fertilizers. would respectfully suggest, that it would not be labor, nor money spent in vain, U some me chanical genius would put his brain and muscle to work, and flx-up a mill that would answer the above purpose. The builder would have to look well to the crashing of stones, aud the grinding ot bones. Very respectfully, A. c. McIntosh. The Effect on the Markets,—Our cor respondent telegraphs from London, at eleven o’clock this morning: “The great and pacific -news just received gives unusual relief. The effect is visible in nearly every countenance. A new imrralaa is given to prices and transactions.” The similar effect in our own markets is noted elsewhere. Let us hope that there is nothing to coma to dash these pleasant felicitations, under circum• stances of this kind, there is often a disposition to “discount” results before results are deter mined, and to rush to conclusions without re- f ard to drawbacks. The sentiment of the 'reach people, all along, has been not to make peace while toe Germans are on toe French side, of the Rhine. “Sentiment,” we know, is not worth much in time of war—and yet, if the Russian Bear and the donble-hesded Eagle ot Austria ahould come to the assistance ol beaten France, in order that Germany may not grow too strong, it might amount to a great deal. The moat prudent course for business men is to wait aud see.—New York Express. A Sensible Remark. Senator Trumbull, of Illinois, recently said of the European war: “It can. be of no possible benefit to this country. It is the w^ht ohmspots, and the people of both Germany and France will be the losers,”
