High waters destroyed a vast number of valuable crops on and near the rivers. Observations showed that the injury over the State was greatly in excess of that for a series of years. CROP REPORT. The report of the Department of Agriculture for Georgia on the 10th shows the corn crop is 4 points below the condition of last year on the 1st of June. The crops are from 10 to 20 days behind the usual average at this date last year, caused by heavy rains, much having to be replanted. The stand of cotton is generally poor. The oat crop is poor in many sections. Nearly a full crop in North Georgia. Wheat about two-tliirds of a crop. Corn in North Georgia, 90; Middle Georgia, 98; South-west Georgia 91; Hast Georgia, 100; South-east Georgia^ 101; in tlie whole State 95. Oats in the whole State 71. Wheat in the whole State, 05. Cotton in the whole State 84. Rice.—The condition and prospect in South-west Georgia is 88; in East Georgia 98, and in Southeast Georgia, which contains much the largest av erage in the crop, 95.

Albany, Ga., May 30.—[special]— “Being desirous of enjoying the brac ing atmosphere of the country, and of looking at the crops generally, Satur day evening found the Avriter at the hospitable residence of “tlie first bale of cotton man,” P. W. Jones, of Baker county. Mr. Jones lias 400 acres of cotton "that will average half to knee- high. which he is cultivating with seven mules, besides his corn, pota toes. sugar cane and other crops. Ev ery iiill of it is highly manured Avith compost, and Avhile he expects to gather 200 bales, an average crop on- Jv, he contends there is no money in farming with free labor raising every thing consumed on the plantation ex cept bacon, and enough of that to supply his table all the year. If there is not any money in farming, with a yield of from fifteen to twenty bales to the ploAV—which is an immense crop—what are our agriculturalists to do? Mr. Jones has about twenty acres in peaches of every variety. The trees are loaded down with fruit. He expects to commence marketing them by the 15th of June, Avhicli dem onstrates that south-west Georgia is a peach country, and that a more re munerative crop cannot be raised. He has also plums, sand pears, and other varieties of fruit. ” Tlie is called a model farm and so it is, compared with the generality of farms in Georgia. But it is making only half a bale to the acre. Mr. Jones ought to cultivate 200 acres and make a bale to every acre, and then he would save an expense of from 4,200 to 4,GOO dollars in work. His 200 bales would then bring him a hand some profit of five thousand dollars or more. This is Avritten in haste, without entering into particulars. This is the true policy for the cotton | groAver, Avork less land and make ev ery acre bring a bale and make tne land in the same way yield eA r erytliing possible for home consumption. Sowing Rye in Corn.—If farmers will soav one-lialf bushel of Avinter rye to the acre in their corn, |and plow in the last time, it will not only have a tendency to choke out the weeds that start up afterward, but there will be no danger of dry murrain among cat tle from eating too freely of dry stalks, as the rye Avill remain green through the winter, and will be eaten by stock in preference to the com fodder. It makes a desirable feed for all kinds of stock, and aids materially inthe quali ty of milk produced, besides proving a saving of from one to tAvo tons of hay for every acre soAvn, and last, but not least, it affords a green crop to plow under in the spring Avhich will reneAV and enrich the land.—Ex. Sixty Miles an Hour. Rev. Sam Jones Made some very severe remarks in Columbus, Miss., concerning a feAv members of the Baptist church, who had attempted, it w r ould seem, to get some new converts to join their church on the ground that immersion was the only valid method of adminis tering the rite of baptism. The re port soon ran oyer the country that his remarks applied to the whole Bap tist church and a certain Dr. Jeffry, a Baptist clergyman of Indianapolis, made a scathing publication concern ing Mr. Jones and his reputed offence. The latter made the following expla nation of Avhat he had said, which it seems Avas accepted by Dr. Jeffrey in the spirit in Avhich it was made. The folloAving dispatch speaks for itself: Sam Jones Apologizes.—India napolis, Ind., June 14.—The contro versy of Sam Jones with Dr. Jeffrey has ended in the evangelist apologiz ing very meekly for the language which caused Dr. Jeffrey to denounce him as a falsifier and moral scaven ger. In his sermon to-day Mr. Jones said: “I have been sorry a dozen times that the remark I made as to a half dozen proselyters should have been taken to have, meant a great Christian denomination. As God is my judge I meant only a few men Avho were running around trying to do harm Avhere I wanted to do good. God bless the Baptist church! I love it, for I got the best Avife out of it that ever a man Avas blessed Avith; but I do hate a proselyter as I hate the devil. When I said what I did in Columbus I no more meant tlie Bap tist church or other Christian church than I meant the angels in heaven. It was the only thing in all my ministry that I eA r er said to reflect on any de nomination and that applies only to those avIio were trying to do 'mis chief.” There are 137 counties in Georgia and they will have 350 votes in the Gubernatorial Convention.

The Chronicle prints to-day an iui portant cotton circular from the pen of Mr. Ellison. of Liverpool. He is recognized as high authority in cotton statistics, and shrewd and prominent American observers believe he is now right in his review and convictions. Tlie supply of cotton in Europe is believed to be very small, and Eng lish manufacturers* it is said, have ob tained contracts which will keep them six months ahead. It is certain that, so far as Great Britain is concerned the supply of cotton for the remain der of the season will not be sufficient to keep up the present rates of con sumption without leading to a mate rial advance in prices. At tlie end of April the visible supply for Great Britain was 294,000 bales less than last year. As usual this advance in cotton comes on when it is too late to benefit the poor Southern planter, and the speculator has the corner all his own way.—Augusta Chronicle. The cotton groAvers can hereafter regulate this to suit.themselves, make less cotton and everything that they need at home. From tho Birmingham Age. Yesterday an Age man was an at tentive listener to the conversation of a small gronp of railroad men. “This talk about trains running sixty miles an hour is all bosh,” said a big, broad- shouldered engineer. “Why, there is not a fast train on any road in the country that makes regularly more than forty-eight miles an hour. Say, did you \ ever figure on that sixty miles an hour business? Now, see here; take an engine Avith six-foot drivers and to make a mile a minute the drivers must make over three hun dred revolutions.” “Say? You’ve never been on a Texas road have you?” inquired a small sized chap avIio Avas smoking a stogy. “Why, in Texas where the roads have no curves or grades, we run freight trains sixty miles an hour schedule time, an’ talking’ ’bout fast trains, why, I once ran a fast mail on a Texas line, and Ave ran so fast that the mile posts seemed to be a solid wall, but still we didn’t gain any thing by running so fast, for Ave had to wait at every station during the night for the rays from the head light to catch up with the train.” “Wa’nt you afraid?” inquired a young brakeman in the croAvd. “’Fraid, nothin’! Why, don’t you know' there’s less danger of an en gine jumping the track Avhen it’s run ning fast than Avlien it’s running slow?

McDaniel. The representations upon which the pardon was granted were very strong, tending to show that Varnadoe’s life was in danger at the time of the stab bing, and that the act w r as in self-de fense.—Atlanta Journal, 16th. The Savannah News states that the two men who were arrested under suspicion of having wedged the wood in the frog at Rogers Station, which caused the engine to jump the track aud resulted in the horrible death of fireman Maddox, have undergone an examination and been discharged. It was proven that they were stealing a ride on the train that was thrown from the track and therefore could not have done the mischief. R. W.
