A correspondent in the Maine Former gives tin* following ac count of his potato crop : •* 1 planted on the 28th of May, two barrels of Karly (Joodrich po latoes, w hieh have given me in re j turn 270 bushels of marketable and 20 bushels small potatoes, in all 200 bushels. They were dug the 20th September. They were on 12.7 rods of laud, in rows three and a half feet both ways,dropp ed on top of the ground, with a piece of uuslakcd lime in each hill as large as a hen’s egg, or of air slaked lime one teacupftill.— I think much for this large crop is i due to the manner of planting, for last year and this 1 grew 250 bushels of t honos to the acre, and had no rot. For healthy growth and full development, potatoes need plenty of air and sunshine, which they do not get when deep in the ground, and near together." PItODHT OF WHEA T. I do not believe, said the editor of the Fvperi mental /'arm Jour toil, that eighty bushels of wheat were raised on a single acre of ground in (’alifornia or in any oth er place. Sixty bushels of Cali forma white w heat have been rais cl on a measured acre, but il stood very thick, and the spikes were four to live inches long, and every spikeb-t fruited.

THE STATE CONVENTION. 'The prominent issue evolved by the convention movement is made between lower Georgia and Atlanta, on the question of re moving the Capitol. Very little interest is felt in the whole mat ter by the people of upper door gia. indeed,it is doubtful w heth er the vote north ol the Chatta hoochee will be for or against it (’onvention. To day the organized dMnoera cv of Cobb nominate, we under stand, a Convention Ticket. It remains to lie seen what the In dependents are going to do about it. MEMORIAL DAY. Although Thursday morning last ushered in cloudy and rainy, and gave but little promise of a day suitable for the decoration ol the many soldiers graves in our Confederate cemetery,yet the la dies, ever constant in vigil and memorial care, and in decorating the graves of the sleeping mar t-yrs to the “Lost Cause,” made their appearance in goodly mini hers, loaded with flowers and evergreens, made into crosses, wreaths, Are. of exquisite beauty and rare skill, and accompanied by the Independent Order of Odd Fellows, proceeded to the cemetery, there to adorn the graves of the brave sleeping dead and to listen to an address by (Ten. Darlington of Atlanta. To the constancy and energy of Mrs. W. T. Winn. President of the association, is attributable mainly the handsome character and success ot tln-se annual cere monies. ODD FELLOWS’ ('KLERKA TIOV On Thursday last Cherokee Lodge, I. O. O. F. with a goodly number of visiting brothers, cele brated the 78th anniversary of the (>rder.

Winn then de livered an address in ;i feeling and impressive manner, show ing the aims and objects of the (>r der, acquitting himself m .<-h to the satisfaction of the Order as well ;|s to the audieuee. Alter the exercises, the Order partook of a substantial dinner prepared by Mr. Lewis, of the Kcmiesaw House: and we must -ay. that the dinner was excellent, giving proof that Mr. Lewis not only kept a fif't class hotel, but was n caterer of good things, which lie placed out bountifully . POLITICAL AFFAIRS. Speaking at Columbia, S. (of President Hayes, Gov. Hampton said : “As long as he will follow out in good faith the policy indi cated in iiF Inaugural; il lie will do equal justice to all sections in this country and see that the laws are enforced in Massachu setts as in South Carolina, in Louisiana as in Ohio; if lie will carry out in good faith all the pledges lie has made, and lie a Constitutional President, reemj iiiziikj noparty, race or section, SO I,ONO Wll.l, I SI I*l*o in: HlM.’’ (Jen. Hampton has been, and we trust will continue to be, a representative man ol the South. The period for the restoration of fraternal feeling and equal jus lice between all sections of Hie Inion has been finally reached, and nobly met by President Hayes, and at tin* very beginning of Ids administration the South is restored to self-government ns completely as rational men can desire. Of course it is not pleas ant to the democratic organiza tion that another should pluck the fruit it lias so careful!y cultur ed; but tin* people of the South should not fee! the less gratified in receiving it, without stint, from one under no party obligat ions to us, and who has incurred the bit ter enmity of many of his own party for doing that which Prcsi dents .Johnson and (Jrant were afraid toattempt. Wendell Phil lips has shown, as the Courier Journo/ says, that “1 here is life in tin* old dog yet," in his bitter tirade* against Haves and his cab met, and Blaine repents the* as sault in terms equally bitter and denunciatory, so that the .V. J 7 Worhl says : “All the indications arc that the elements of discon tent in the Republican party are fast gathering into shape and that we shall soon see a political re volt of the radicals against Mr. Haves, as formidable as their re volt against Andrew Johnson eleven years ago." To secure that which Haves has voluntarily conceded to the South, emancipation from milita ry rule, the democratic party supported Hot; ace Greeley for the Presidency. If it does not now, with Gov. Hampton, sup port Haves, it will be false to its own professed desires—false to the country and to the South. For the way* to peace, recuper ation, restored social and politi ca Ipo w er, is apparent. The re ins are placed in our own hands, and, encouraged by tin* central govern ment, there is nothing in the way to place the South politically and socially far in advance of any former period. Now. instead of waiting on tin* forlorn hope du dubiouslv hinged upon tin* sue cess of the national democratic parly, we have it- realization. Let us be content with our pres cut gain, and applaud the admin islration, hopeful in our now mi shackled energies. . ini Al.-uicita Paper Manuf'in-turing t'o.

April 25.—Prince Nicholas, of Montenegro, and stall' have gone to the A Ilian ia n frontier. Paris. April 25.—The ma.jori of the Paris papers, particularly the Repttblique Francaise, ex press the opinion that Gen. Von Moltke’s declarations in the Ger man parliament yesterday were not intended as hostile to France. London, April 25.—A Berlin special to the second edition of the limes says, Gen. Yon Moltke’s speech attracts as much attention as the Russian mani festo. It is assumed that Gen. Von Moltke intended to leil the French that Germany is Aval cit ing their armaments; that she is acquainted with the peculiar disposition of her troops; that she cannot conceive their im mense military efforts to aim at anything else save revenge at the first fitting opportunity', and warning her that Germany w ill not allow her to profit by orient al troubles for a possible pursuit of anti Tuetonic plans. Paris, April 21!. The Russian telegraphic agency announces that to-day the Roumanian parlia ment will declare war against 'Turkey. Raoi sa, April 2fl.

The Courier's London corres pondent says : The British govern ment has resolA ed to interfere he tAveen Russia and Turkey.

Hampton took possession of liie State House on tin* lltli nil. The transfer of papers and onVpr* property xvas made by' the respec tive secretaries, Wade ami Mann ing. representing Hamplon, and C. J. Babbitt, representing Cham berlain. (>n the Ift Ii tilt., t rov. Hampton mhliessed a note to'the Chamber lain officials requesting them to turn over otlices their siieces sors. subject- to thPlo(#ion of the sujireme court, Avhen tin* court should be lmed by the election of a chief justice. This step was ta ken so as to enable liu* Hampton government to obtain the records and information necessary for the proper administration of tin* af fairs. Gov. Hampton had the state bu reaus, over which there are legal jam tests, all sealed. 'The seal con sists of a few inches of red tape fastened at eit her end of the door and the door post, hy a drop ol sealing wax, which hears the ini press of the* secretary's private signet ring. Dunn, Cardoza and llayne, re publican compl roller general, mAc retary of state and treasurer re sportively', remained at home in anticipation of what xvas done.- Adjutant and Inspector General Kennedy, Superintendent of Edit i ation Talbert, and Attorney’ Gen eral Elliott, however, presented tliemselves at their lati* offices at t lie usual hour, and were refused admittance. A siioxv of resistance xvas made by the two last named, but upon being confronted by the const aides, who were placed there to guard the'doprs, and assured that they would be arrested if they essa.ved to force an entrance, as they seemed inclined to do, they too retired to await a decis ion of the supreme court in tin* matter of the disputed possession. The Legislature of South Caro lina met at Columbia on tlic* 24t|i of April, in extra session, on till* call of Governor Hampton. lathe Senate, Lieut. Governor (i leaves called the 1 louse to order and made a farewell address, in sisting that lie xvas legally* re-elec ted. but that further resistance would be futile. Mr. Simpson then took his seat and delivered a brief address, urg ing harmony and a strict regard for the rights and privileges of all classes. The Edgefield and Lan reus senators were sworn in. The senate now stands 15 democrat* to 18 republicans, but one of the re publican' vote with t he democrats another one is in jail, and the se mite is virtually tied, and t he lieu tenant governor has the easting vote. 'The indications are that As : soeiate Justice Willard, a New York republican, will be nomina ted for chief justice by* the demo cratic caucus, ami elected in ac cordance with Hampton’s avowed desire. Gov. Hampton’s message was read before the legislature on the 2<ith tilt. Regarding the state se curities lie says the suspicions xvliich attach to a portion of the outstanding obligations of the state, and which to a greater or levs extent affect the value of all, render il ini peri five that these ob ligations. whether funded or not, should be si riot ly serufinizod xvn It a view of ascertaining xvliieh are valid and xvltich are not.
