It is reported at New Orleans that the returning board have fixed Hayes' majority In Louisiana at 3,880, and Packard’s at 3,359. The total vote of the State, as actually oast, was as follows: Tilden 83,178, Hayes 76.992: Nloholls 83,896, Packard 76.- 692. Iriden’s majority, 7,169; Nieh olls' majority,7,6o4.

Grant never gave General Huger any orders to Interfere in the organization of the South Carolina legislature, and if Huger knew that that was not the work expected of him, Why did he (Huger) refuse to give assurances on the second day of the session, when Jyoth parties had agreed to adjourn. Wat he would not tho next day prevent their ro-oceupy- Ing their positions ? Is it not evl dent that Huger knew that Grant’s . - the control of the Ws lipplbe election of Mr. Ran dall sfiMHpT of the House of Bep reßODtatlVChf as an indication that the Denf&SSfts expect a severe par liamentary contest over the counting o' the Electoral votes and questions connected with it, and are preparing for it. Mr. Bandall Is their best man to conduct such a contest. He is a mao of 'promptness and nerve, a thorough parliamentarian, and pos sesses a tenacity that never surren ders. In the joint session for the counting of the Electoral votes, he will be found hard to circumvent or throw off his guard. If the Radicals have any Senator who Is his match, Blaine is the man. "Th* Empire. Wo learn from the Democrat that two numbers of a newspaper called The Empire have made their appearance in New Or leans. The Democrat says that it re garded the first Issue as a joke or a satire on the situation, but that the appearance of the second number gives it a more serious aspect. It quotes the concluding paragraph of the leader of the second number, as follows: “What this country now requires lean Emperor. Has Orant the nerve, the intellect and the courage equal to the crisis and to fill the public need? If he has. two hundred thous and Southern men, trained to arms and devoted to their country, will ns semble under his standard and up hold his sword, and plane upon his brow the imperial crown.” —" ■ i • • The New York Tribune has a corres pondent who argues that Hayes may safe ly be counted in because there Is no dan ger that the people of the United States will go to war with each other about the Presidential Succession. This, says the Detroit Free Frees, Is an admirable ar gument, truly. The Democratic party can be relied on to submit to injustice and fraud rather than to invoke the evil of war; therefore, Injustice and fraud are excusable. We are not so sure at the TWbune’s correspondent is of the peaca ble disposition of the American people, though we have not the slightest question that a vast amount of actural wrong will be borne before force is resorted to. It is impossible, however, to conceive of cir cumstances where submission would be more injurious to the country than resist* enee, whatever form it might take. GMItTOIt LOUNMNA. The declaration of Gen. Grant, mode to Mr, Hewitt, that the Electo ral vote of Louisiana ought to be thrown out, will arrest attention not because Gen. Grant's opinion in the matter is worth more than other iwople’s, nor yet because he bad any immediate power in the premises; but because—lst, it indicates that he does not want au election by the peo ple and 2nd, it is an acknowledgement on bits part that Congress tuts the power to go behind the certificates and inquire into the manner in which the Electors were appointed. Sup pose that Oen. Grant and his close friends In Congress (Butler, Gonkling and others) take the ground that the two Houses must consider objections raised to the votes of States, and they succeed in throwing out Louisiana, there will then be no eleetion by the people, and a number of legal questions incident to the counting of the vote will have to be decided. Can the house force a de decision of all these questions before the 4th of March ? and can it proceed to elect a President before the count is finished and the announce ment officially made that there is no choice by the Elec tors ? May not the squabble be prolonged until the 4th of March? And what then? Caleb Cushing and Ben Sutler are quoted as expressing the opinion that Gen. Grant can then "hold over” until his successor is chosen and installed. If Gen. Grant is looking forward to a contingency of this sort, and wonts the vote of Louisiana thrown out as a means of defeating an election by the people, this programme will doubtless re ceive support in Congress, and it may yet furnish the solution of this vexed question. —Gen Gordon returned to bis borne, in tbe neighborhood of Atlanta, on Satur day. Till: RKPORTKI* COALITION. Wo do not wish to be understood as expressing belief in the truth, or even the probability of the reported nego tiation betweup Gov. Hayes and so mo Southern Democrats, detailed In the dißtjafctcJvhlch wo <-<wy from the ©tncfnnSu Enquirer. But the story is told with so much particularity ns to parties, dates, places, &o„ that wo we can hardly pass It unnoticed as not deserving mention. One reason why wo do not believe this story is this: the parties con tracting must know that the disclos ure of their schcmo would almost certainly defeat It. It is not at all probably that the great body of the Republican Electors of the North would adhere to Hayes if they know that he bad made such an agreement; and still less probable is it that any of the sixty Tilden Electors of the North could bo transferred to Hayes under such an arrangement which would be a virtual disband ment of the National Democratic or ganization and a separation of Its Northern and Southern wings. The transfer of an Electoral vote from the candidate whom the Elector was pledged to support to him whom he was pledged to oppose would be a proceeding of great responsibility un der any circumstances ; and when it comes to the transfer of the whole or a majority of the voto in this way, we must regard the proposition as irn practiblo. May wo not be permitted to hope that there is some good foundation for the many reports that Hayes is opposed to the usurpations of Gen. Grant’s administration, and is re solved to cut aloof from the rascal ities of the carpet-bag and native Radical party of the South, no mat ter how ho may be elected? Tbo Democrats of the South will stand faithfully by Gov. Tilden as long as the Democratic party of the North manifest a resolution to put him in the position to which the people havJelected him. This is es pecially tho duty of the Democrats of the North. In casting for him a nearly solid Electoral vote, the Democrats of the South have done all that can reasonably bo expected of them under the circumstances. But they cun have neither heart nor hope in an alliance with any party of the North which permits itself to be iDtiraidated or cheated out of a triumph after it is won. If it be really true that there are any Southern Democrats negotiating for an al liance with Gov. Huyes, such as the Cincinnati Enquirer’s dispatch re ports, it is because they despair of Gov. Tilden’s attaining the Presi dency after being fairly elected to It. In all probability there is no truth In the reported negotiations; but, whether true or false, many South ern men will want more reliable po litical allies at the North if Gov. Til den, after being rightfully elected President, is not put into the office. the; iaeugibum. The many shifts and dodges of the Radicul party upon the cases of the Ineligible Electors ure very remark able. They made lmste to have one of their own Electors in Rhode Islaud, who was a Centennial Com missioner, declared ineligible and to fill his place, because they had dis covered that one or two of the Tilden Electors in other Stutes were also Centennial Commissioners. They dodged the question in the case of the Vermont Postmaster, by getting him to resign and choosing another Elector in his stead, which they had the power to do. But in the case of the Oregon Hayes Elector, who is also a Postmaster, they will neither declare him ineligible as they did the Centen nial Commissioner in Rhode Island, nor have him resign as they did the Rhode Island Postmnster. Why? Simply because if they declare him Ineligible, or get him to resign, they are not sure that their party can fill the vacancy as they did in Vermont and Rhode Island. Therefore they seem resolved to stand by his choice as on Elector, notwithstanding the plain constitutional disqualification. They even attempt to ridiculo and consure the Democrats for trying to get an Electoral vote from Oregon on the ground of the ineligibility of one of the Electors chosen by the peo ple. They think that Gov. Tilden ought not to accept a vote obtained in that way. Magnanimous souls ! after the means they have resorted to to filch from Tilden the votes of South Carolina, Louisiana and Flor ida I Mr. Hewitt, in a late interview, correctly explained the policy and motives of the Democrats in insisting on their con stitutional rights in the mat ter of the ineligible Electors. He said: “We do not intend that the Republicans shall obtain fraudulent returns from States, for the purpose of counting in Mr, Hayes, and then object to the Democrats taking ad advantage of accidents elsewhere, in order to get a chance to argue the case. We should look upon it as a monstrous outrage if by fraud in Louisiana the Republicans were to get 185 votes in the Electoral College, and then put it out of our power to avail ourselves of a vote, say in Ore gon, in order to force them to go be hind the face of the certificates and search the real merits of the case in each of the contested States, In other words, if a certificate shohld be given in Oregon to a Democratic Elector, it should be quite ready to have it inquired into, just as I would demand an inquiry into the Louisia na case,” #• { —-— —The Irwinton Southerner learns that on Friday, November 16th three negroes were burned to death on Judge J.

'"Tormattou. From the AtUnt* Constitution,} In Hitchcock’s geological map Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia and Ala bama are marked us belonging to the Ezoic period, dawn of life. This was so designated because the real forma tion was not known. The value and extent of tho geological survey of the State, under the direction of Dr. George Little, State Geologist, is now beginning to develop Itself. The survey made shows Hint In Georgia, South Carolina and Alabama the for mation Is lower Silurian. In Geor gia the formation is divided into three periods: Potsdam of New York, Suebee of Canuda, and Cincinnati, hio. The lower salurlan formation is the same that gives the line grain and dairy regions of New York, Pennsyl vania, Ohio, Illinois, Wisconsin, lowa, Missouri and Middle Tennes see. • COPPER. In the Potsdam period is found the Duoktowu and Mobile copper mines. Gold-bearing rock are found in the Quebec period. Copper is found lu the Cincinnati period. The Blue Ridge copper mines, in Lumpkin county, the Canton copper mines, in Cherokee county, the Waldrop mine, in Huralson county, the Wool copper mine, in Cleburn county, Ala., and the Fulton copper mine, ten miles from this city, belong to this period. The copper mine near Union Point belongs to another belt. IRON. Iron is found in the non-metumor phic regions west of Pine Log moun tain and northwest of Dug Down mountain. This, the brown hema tite, is not found in beds or veins, but In poeketsor massive deposits. Red fossiliferous iron ore is found in the Clinton period of the upper silurlan formation. COAL. Coal is found in the coal measures or the carboniferous period, and cov ers 173 square miles. Mines have been opened in only two places. The Dade Coal Company, of which J. E. Brown is President, und the Rising Fawn Company, in Dade couuty. Tho Dade Coal Company have lately opened the Castle Hock, coal mine, formerly owned by Gen. J. 13. Gor don. There are hundreds of places where these mines could be opened. COItE. The Dade Coal Company have 65 coking ovens, and are successfully competing with the Sewaoee mines. Tho Rising Fawn Company have 60 improved Belgian cokiug ovens. By using tho coul washing machinery recently introduced nt Pittsburg, the coke can be still further improved. MARLS. A line from Columbus to Butler, in Taylor county, limits the cretaceous tnurls, while a line from Fort Gaines to Butler, Macon and Augusta de fines the northern limits, and one along the northern line of Chatham, the junction of the Ooonoe and Oo mitlgee rivers, and Quitman on the Wlthlacooehee river limits the south ern line of the tertiary marls. These marls have been used by Hon. Ed mund Ruffin, of Virginia, Dr. Long street, of Effingham county, Ga.. and Coi. Eli Shorter,of Alabama. All pro nounce them valuable as a fertilizer. Instances have been known where tiie effect of the application of these mai ls to the land could beseen iu the crops fifteen years afterwards. In some eases the crop was doubled. Prof. Loughridge is now engaged in exam ining the tnarl9on Flint river. On the first he was at Montezuma, and although the thermometer was down to twenty-two, he found marl beds at Pineville, on Dry Creek. The yel low marl is fifteen feet thick. The marls are exposed on the banks of the creeks and rivers and can be reached in other places by digging ft few feet below the surface. VEGETABLE MATTER. That portion of the State below the marl formations is rioh in vegetable matters, marsh muck,, and peat—the very thing needed to fertilize the sandy lands of that section, and make them as productive as any in the State. The vegetable matter, muck and peat, are accessible. NATURAL FERTILIZERS CONVENIENT. It seems au almost inexcusable blunder to send so much money out of the country for commercial fertil izers, when nature has pluced the fertilizers needed close to the locality where they can do the most good. The marl deposits on the Satllla river nre close enough to compost with the muck Of Oketenokee and other swamps. Southern Georgia has in these marls a full supply of lime to use for fertilizing her soil. There is also a sufficient supply bor dering on the Chattahoochee ridge, at Gainesville, Flowery Branch, Habersham, Fannin,Giltner, Pickens and Cherokee counties. In Hurral son county limestone is used for mar ble. In northwest Georgia one can scarcely get out of sight of largo beds of limestone. Here is one im portant item of our resouces over looked. There is "millions in it,” because it can be used as a fertilizer and is accessible trail points ot the State. Rocks ground up, pulverized and disintegrated by the action of rain, the atmosphere, sun and frost forms soil. OUR SOILS. The State geologist has samples of the characteristic soils of the State, oarefuily selected, and labelled with a description of their natural vegeta tion and chemical analyses, showing the ingredients present in the sam ple, and what ingredients necessary for plant food it lacks. These soils are to be studied bv agriculturial chemists of the department of agri culture, iu order to recommend suit able fertilizers for them. N .rURAL GROWTH. r.,3 State geologist has samples of ‘225 different kinds of woods grown in the State, embracing all that are used in making wagons, buckets, axe handles, etc. These samples show the grain and fibreofthe wood, the polish and smoothness of dress ing. and labelled with the botanical and common nameaudcounty where grown. Any man who would keep two horses in his stable idle all the year would be voted lacking in sound judgment. And yet the people of Georgia every year have MILLIONS OF HORSES who require neither corn nor fodder running idly to the sea, and that, too, :in the teeth of the fact that the fac tories at Augusta and Columbus have proven the best paying investments in the United States. Professor Locke, of the geological survey, has measured all the streams in the State large enough to turn a wheel, accurately, and tabulated giving the county and amount of horse power available.

We have long been in the habit of using what we call a cold powder, which we have found of great value in breaking up colds when taking in lime, and in modifying their force when taken late The prescription is as follows: Camphor, five parts; dissolved in either to consistency of cream: then add carbonate of ammonia, four parts, opium powder, one part. Mix and keep iu a tightly corked bot tle. The dose is of course regulated by the opium, and ranges between three ami ten or fifteen grains. We have been ac customed to prescribe it for our friends by the finger uail full, or as much us one can put on the finger nail. This powder may be taken in a little water just belore retiring, liy preference, or at any hour of the day, whenever there is a suspicion of having caught cold. If need he, a moderate dose may be taken several days in succession. The advantages of this powder arc verv great. 1. The taste is agreeable, or, at least, is not disagreeable. Kven the bitterness of the opium is mostly neutralized by the camphor and ammonia. No child objects to the powder. 2. It is singularly and inexplicably effi cacious. We believe it to be more effi cient than Dover’s powder, and incompar ably more agreeable. In some cases it produces a gentle perspiration ; in others, this special effect is not observed. It is so easy to take, and so harmless in small doses, that it is well and safe to take it whenever we become badly chilled.— Archives of Eleclrologg and Neuralgia. The Superior Court of Town, a few days ago, decided a very singular case in the favor of a defendant who was sued by a woman for selling her husband whisky. She had been awarded $1,625 damages, and the Court decided that the verdict was invalid because one of the jurors took a glass of liquor during the progress of the trial. It was shown that the ju rors did not become drunk, hut the Judge ssid there was a precedent for such a de cission, and he followed it. W. F.

The following is an extract from a description, published in the New York Tribune , by the wel known agriculturist, Solon Robinson: All the farmers were of the “well to do” sort, and some.of them, who have turned their attention to fruits and market gardening, have grown rich. The soil is loam, varying from sandy to clayey, and surface gently undulating, intersected with small streams aud occasional wet meadows, In which deposits ot peat or muck are stored, sufficient to fertilize the whole upland surface, after it has been exhausted of its natural fertility. It is certainly one of the mott extensive fertile tracts, in an almost level position, and suitable condition for pleasant farming, that we know of this side of the Western prairies. We found some of the oldest farms apparently just as profitably productive as when first cleared of forest fifty or a hundred years ago. The geologist would soon discover the cause of this continued fertility. The whole country is a marine deposit, and all through the soil we found evidences of calcareous substances, generally in the form of indurated calcareous marl showing many dis'inct forms of ancient shells, of tike tertia ry formation; and this marly substance is scattered alt through the soil, in a very comminuted form, and in the exact condition most easily assimilated by such plants as the lamer desires to cultivate.
