A writer, over the signature of : “Bartow," in the Cartersville/Vee /*r<ss, gives the following state incut as to the managers of the Georgia penitentiary system : “In ; the first penitentiary, (which is I (jov. Brown's,) we find the old i contractors under the first lease, neither of them public officials, hi tin* second penitentiary we Hud J. B.

In the thin! peniten tiary. we tin*! the Treasurer of Georgia. with his greater clerk, John Wesley Murphy.” The Baltimore (iazette says the greedy democrats in Washington want an extra session, not for the good of the country, hut to profit thereby. Updo the 20th instant, Atlanta had ordered direct from the Uni ted States treasury #5,000 stan dard silver coinage, and Colum bus $20,000 of the same. The Chronicle states that the force at work on the Augusta por tiou of the Augusta. Knoxville, and (Jreenwood railroad is rapid ly pushing forward the grading. They have already progressed 12 miles, and only three miles of un graded road lie between them and the river. The camp has been moved to this last section, and in a short time the entire route from Augusta to Walton's isUnd will be graded. THE FIELD AN4> KIkfe^IHK—MARIETTA. (GA.) THURSDAY, JANUARY 30. !b7l. A “trump register 'kept at the Macon (Ga.) barracks shows that since the 12th hut. thirty ofthese itinerant gentry have been taken in aud dene for by the city. They represented nearly every country on the face of the globe. The ‘•organized’' say Ben llill is dead. It may be so, but they still keep kicking. Governor Hendricks, who is in Washington, says •• the western democrats are determined not to be manouvred out of the presiden tial nomination.” Possibly, the people may not want either a re publican or democrat manouvred upon them. I'm. Gi ano Question. —Let the price of the fertmzer be fixed at its minimum cash valuation, and the farmer, if he cannot pay the money down, merely give a lien upon a bale of cotton, with the privilege at his option of selling the same at home in the presence of the owner of the lien, and thus liquidating the amount of the claim. This would give any over plus which the cotton might bring to the owner and leave the man ufacturer nothing to complain of. On the other hand, if prices ruled low, the planter could deliver the cotton in lieu of the cash. Of course the weight of the bale should be predicated upon a fair average juice of the staple in market for the security of the guano dealer, who, however, should be required to put down the article he sells at bottom pri ces.—Macon paper. During the year 1878, 192 ves sels, 76 from foreign and 1 IB from coastwise ports, entered the port of Brunswick. The total tonnage was 61,810, and the aggregate number of men employed by them was 1,613. There were 198 clearances, 74 for foreign and 124 for domestic ports. The total value of exports was $1,373,841. A correspondent from Valdos ta writes us as follows: *‘l see in your Weekly of the 18th ins taut you state that Atlanta was first named Marthasville, in honor of a daughter of the late Governor Lumpkin. This is a mistake. It was named in honor of Miss Mar tha Mitchell(then of Pike county, Gn.,)whose father owned and sold the most of the land upon which Atlanta was originally founded. Colonel Peters, Dr. Thompson, G. W. Adair and all of the old inhabitants will confirm this state ment.” The Camilla correspondent of the Albany Advertiser thus writes: “We can truthfully state that our people are substantially better off than a few years ago. More attention has been given to supply raising. Orchards are be ing set out everywhere. Then, I too, new dwelling houses are be ! ing Imilt. Indeed, the progress is so steady and substantial that one can draw the conclusion that our people feel settled, at home, and do not intend to trv ‘going West.'" The Brunswick Seaport Appeal claims the late earthquake as its own peculiar property, and says : “Yes, ours. We discovered it,we were shaken by it, we heard its muttered menace to our cups and saucers and china, and sideboards and contents. We felt our hous es sway, beds move, saw tin* pic tures rattle on the walls, heard the windows shake. Surely this is something to be proud of. It is not every day you can get up an earthquake, and they come so unexpectedly, so completely when they get ready, and are so impartial in their attentions that we feel it our duty as true chroni clers of the events of our times and especially of our city, to give a short account of this phenotne uon. And first We desire to say that this is ourj rst earthquake. Wo have had Nancy Hart but no earthquake, and are inclined to believe this a sort of jollification, gotten up by the earth, at our bright present and brighter pro* poets. On the subject of wheat, the Thomasville Time* says: “That this cereal can he successful ly planted and grown in this coun ty' we think is now an establish ed fact. Passing the store of Messrs. M. Isaac de Cos. the other day we noticed a barrel of beau tifully rounded and full grained wheat on the sidewalk. Upon inquiry . we learned that it was grown by Mr. Rosen fold, one of our German farmers, Subse quently meeting the gentleman himself, he informed us that lie raised, the past reason, seventeen bushels to the acre. And what is more, after cutting the wheat he planted and raised 150 bushels of potatoes on the same acre. What section can make a better showing? Few, we trow. He sold the whcat(for seed) at $2 per bushel, and the potatoes at 40 cents per bushel. Seventeen bushels of wheat at $2 per bushel and 150 bushels of potatoes at 40 cents, aggregate SO4. That beats an all cotton crop out of sight.” Albany Advertiser: ‘‘From a friend of Mr. John R. Lee, of Lee county, we get the following statement showing the result of his farming last season: With six mules he made 00 heavy bales of cotton, 2,100 bushels of corn. 10 barrels syrup, 1 acre of cane left for seed, 300 bushels oats (on 15 acres), 1,000 bushels potatoes, and over 200 bushels peas. He killed 18 head of hogs averaging 155 pounds. The above is what Mr. Lee made with six mules on that portion of his place which he worked himself. On his entir* place, including the land worked by renters, he made 300 bales cotton with 30 mules, besides 150 bushels of corn to the mule.” Tiik Fathku of Twenty Fivk Sons. —Hiram Y. Reese died re cently at his residence in Frank lin county, Pa., within a few months of ninety-two years of age. He was the father of twenty-five sons, twenty of whom are yet liv ing, the eldest being sixty-six and the youngest twenty-four. His first wife had six sons, his second eleven and his third eight, and six of the children were twins. He was a soldier in the war of 1812, and had nine sons in the Union army during the late war, two of whom were killed at the first battle of Bull Run, a third at Ball’s Bluff - , and a fourth was drowned during Banks’ ill-star red Red river expedition. lie was a remarkably rebust man, and never but once during his life did he take medicine. Georgia's Claims. lit the United States senate on Friday, on motion of Senator John B. Gordon, it was. “Ordered, That the papers in refer ence to the claims of the state of Geor gia be w ithdrawn from the tiles of tin* senate and bed elivored by the secreta ry of the senate to Hon. W. O. Toggle, agent of the state of Georgia.” It is not generally known to what claims of t he state this order refers. The facts are these: During the revolutionary war, the war of 1812 and subsequent Indian wars, the state of Georgia, with other states, advanced to the general government large loans and supplies to aid in the prose cution of the wars. It appear* that many of the claims of Geor gia have never been paid. The matter is in considerable confusion. There are papers in the office of the secretary of state of Georgia which show that some payments were made to the state on such claims, but it is also evi dent that there has only been a partial settlement of the claims. In order to get a clear and exact knowledge of the true status of the case, Governor Colquitt, a bout a month ago, appointed Hon. W. O. Tuggle, of LaGrange, to go on to Washington as the agent of the state. While there he will carefully examine all the papers in the federal archives touching the claims of the state. By comparing these with the pa pers at the state capitol, he will probably put the matter in a more definite shape than it has yet assumed. At present very little is certainly known. The unpaid claims may amount to a great deal or they may not. An other contingency, which may prove more troublesome, is that when the exact amount due is as certained, it may be paid or it may not.— Constitution.
