FRIDAY MORNING, SEPT. 24, 1869
FROM ATHENS TO CLAYTON.
Prominent among the many projected
Railways in and through onr State, the
propose*! road from Athens to Clayton must
be ranked second to none. Its importance
to Augusta and to the section through
which It would pass is of a. magnitude at
once considerable and beyond dispute.
Connecting witji the Blue Ridge Railway
E ow an assured fact—the Athens and
Clayton route will push on to Knoxville,
Tennessee, aud Louisville, Kentucky, by a
line more direct than any now in use. All
parties with whom we have recently con
versed concede that this road must and will
be built; the question as to completion
being only one of time, and the perfection
of such diplomacy as will harmonize the
different interests to he benefited thereby.
The apparent indifference hitherto mani
fested toward this project by the people of
Augusta and the representatives of the
Georgia Railroad was caused by the un
certainty hanging over the affairs of the
Blue Ridge route. Until the completion of
the Blue Ridge road, the building of the
Athens and Clayton line would have been
financial folly. Now, however, since the
Blue Ridge road will be certainly finished,
our people are awakening to this momen
tous scheme. The Directors of the Georgia
Railroad have shown their appreciation of
its Importance by causing a survey to be
made of the route. This survey, just ac
complished, shows that the distance be
tween Athens and Clayton is seventy-eight
miles. It is presumable that an estimate
of the cost or building over this gap will
soon follow the estimate of the distance.
The distance from Athens to Clayton hav
ing been ascertained, we are enabled to
give the true distances from Augusta to
Knoxville and Louisville by the new route
in contemplation as compared with the
present route

the Clayton over the present route. Os
the 134 miles between Clayton aud Knox
ville, eighteen are finished and in running
order. Os the 06 miles from Knoxville to
the Kentucky Line, 40 are finished aud in
That the Athens and Clayton road will
be built, sooner or later, we do not doubt y
t,ut in our opinion, the sooner the better
for Augusta and the Georgia Railroad.
The problems now ar>* : First : —Whether
the Georgia Railroad Company should as
sume the work, making it an extension of
their Athens branch. Second : —Whether
the road shall l»e built by an independent
corporation, with the aid of the Georgia
Railroad, hacked up by subscriptions from
the people of Augusta, Athens and the
counties through, which it would run.
These problems are for future solution and
can lie sol veil without much trouble. The
prime necessity of the present hour is to
Keep alive the sentiment of progress which
has exhibited itself in this matter. We re
joice to see that the people of Northeastern
Georgia are fully aroused to their duty and
interests. A public meeting at Athens is call
ed f.*r on the 2d of October to consider
this p.-oieet. We would respectfully sug
gest that onr City Council appoint one
or two ofits members, or some citizens
not officially connected with the municipal
ity, to be present at this meeting. A gen
erous subscription by the people all along
the route will greatly contribute to the
prompt consummation of this enterprise.
So much are we impressed with the supe
rior advantages of this new route that it
will not he unreasonable to predict for it a
destiny greater even than the Georgia
Railroad as it now pushes onward to the
West. We feel confident that, in some
thing iike ten years hence, the new line
will even surpass the old oue as a business
thoroughfare; that the Athens and Clay
ton will be the main trunk of which the
Georgia Road will lie a mighty branch.
This view might seem a visionary oue, if
indulged in by us alone. But it is fully
endorsed by one of the grandest and most
sagacious minds in the State. Let the good
work go on.
I Correspondence of the Constitutionalist.
Dependence on Northern Capitalists.
Mr- Editor : For some time the subject
of our peeming dependence ujx>u the North
ern capitalist lias been a theme upou
which I have spent much thought, and I
have been surprized that the matter has
not been taken into serious consideration,
as it so vitally effects our commercial in
terests as a people. Now if the Southern
capitalists would make it a matter of pecu
niary interest, such arrangements might
lie so made with capitalists iu Europe to
engage their capital witli our Southern
interests to such au extent as would work
materially to our advantage as a people,
and in a financial point of view so relieve
as as to supply all the needed funds to
carry ou our planting interests and also
our commercial bn si ness independently of
our Northern capital holders and greedy
speculators. Wc could then have direct
trade, plenty of money, less iniurious specu
lation and perhaps better times than have
been known in the South for many years.
We are at present so much in the power of
Northern sjiccalators that they seemingly
control #very branch of trade, which, as 1
think ii, should not longer continue, if our
people would only look more in other
directions for 4he material with which to
operate with. I say complete our railroads,
make all the direct connections with our
available seaport harbors which will admit
of heavy vessels and make direct importa
tions and get assistance from those who
wiil assist us withoutdraggingourlastdrop
of blood and destroy our best interests. —
Our section should build up factories here
to spin the. raw material into thread and
ship that to Europe instead, of the raw
material, thereby giving work to our poor
classes and develop our interests here to a
much greater degree than heretofore. Our
best interests demand that something
should be done to devclopc our sectional
interest, manufacturing, agricultural and
mineral, and without the effort being made
by us we shall never be better than the cats
jtaws ol the Northern capitalists.
If you deem this worthy of attention, you
can give it what cousi&eratibh you think
fit. " Very respectfully,
Cato.
(From the Richmond Whig.
Aristocrats!
The Rev. Theodore Tilton, of the New
York Independent, in an elaborate article
on Mr. Senator Fessenden, on whom many
compliments are bestowed, makes the fol
lowing remarks on his manners:
“In manners (and manners are tell-tales
of men) he always appeared to us as an
aristocrat —a character unseemly iu our
eyes; Even to his friends (except to the
most intimate), during the first few
moments of every renewed interview, he
exhibited something forbidding in his de
rneauor. His countenance, even in its
lightest mood, never wholly lost its severity.
His merriest laugh did not altogether un
wrinkle those lines of his face which showed
him to be a good hater. His graven image
on our decimal currency is flabbily devoid
of all his Roman dignity. Self-respect jjat
upon him like a supreme virtue. It is a mis
take to suppose (as some have asserted)
that he suffered a perpetual pang at the re
membrance of his illegitimate birth. No
civil tie can constitute, nor the absence of
it nullify, the natural and unshamed alie
uiauce which a manly son must ever bear
to his mother. Not till man’s estate did
Mr. Fessenden come to the knowledge of
his shadowed origin; but when he sudden
ly discovered that there was living in New
England a lady of whose existence lie had
been utterly Ignorant, but who had brought
hint into the world, he made haste to see
her face, to fall upon her neck, and to min
gle his tears of joy and sorrow with her
own. Nothing in all his career was nobler
than the fllialaffection and respect which
he never ceased to render to this superior
woman during her remaining years on
earth.”
We suppose the allusion to the illegiti
mate birth is lugged in with covert malice
to expose the absurdity of Mr. Fessenden’s
pretensions to aristocratic manners. We
were not aware of the fact; never beard of
it before, and had not supposed such an
irregularity could have existed in the pure
society of New England. As we never
saw Mr. Fessenden, we know nothing of
the justice of his claims to the manners of
an aristocrat. In fact, we are not certain
that we understand precisely what is meant,
by the phrase. Mr. Tilton does not ex
plain. He only tells us that an aristocrat
is a character unseemly in his eyes. But
the wherefore is left to conjecture. If he
uses aristocrat in the vague and undefined
sense of gentleman —and wc know not in
what other sense to understand aristocrat
as applied to manners—the inference is
that gentlemanly manners are unseemly in
Mr. Tilton’s eyes. But we venture to con
jecture that such was not the revereud
'gentleman’s meaning. The gentleness, the
courtesy, the considers tiveness for others’
feelings, which constitute the essence of
gentlemanly manners, could not be dis
agreeable to Mr. Tilton. In that sense, he
aspires to he a gentleman himself.
We take it that Mr. Tilton lias a slight
touch of the demagogue about him, aud
has, or affects, a great horror of aristocrats,
'rite fact of the existence of a man of supe
rior culture, of courteous address, mars
his theory of universal equality and shocks
his sense of the fitness of things; for men
tal, moral and personal qualities are the
only elements of any aristocracy which
can exist in this laud of ceaseless and uni
versal change. Such an aristocracy—and
the more numerous the better—would be a
blessing in any country.
Another Continental Line—Begginning
of the Southern Pacific Railroad.
Generals Rosecvans and irCdjJWick were
advertised in Sa’n Francisco to leave that
city on the 12th instant for San Diego, the
seaport at the Southern extremity of the
State of California, these to inaugurate the
work on the San Diego aud Gila Railroad,
and Mr. Seward was also to be present to
assist in the ceremonies of breaking ground.
Funds sufficient to build the road to the
Gila river have been subscribed. This is
the beginning of the Southern continental
railway line. A company, headed by Gen
eral Fremont, lias been organized East to
begin at Memphis, Tenn., and thence to
build a road Sonthwestwardly, through
Arkansas and Texas, to El Paso, on the
Rio Grande, thence across the tablelands to
the Gila river and down its valley, or near
it, to ft junction with this San. Diego
branch.
From the Mississippi river this is a much
shorter route to the Pacific Ocean than
that of the Union Pacific Road; and as it
flanks the Rocky Mountains aud the
Sierra Nevada chain, it may be built all the
way over the plains. It is also below the
region of interrupting snows, and the work
of building it and of ruuning it when com
pleted may lie continued without the stop
page of a day from wintry storms. With
anything like the enterprise which built
the Union Pacific, tips jjQuthern road
ought to be finished within two years, for
there will be comparatively little to do in
building it beyond marking out the line
and laying the ties and rails. When finish
ed it will be the main line for through tra
vel ; but there will be work enough, not
only for the two eoutiuental roads, which
will then be in operation, blit for one or
two more. Iu the building up of half a do
zen new States the Union Pacific will soon
be an immensely profitable line, and so
with the Southern Pacific in tapping the
undeveloped resources of Western Texas
and of NdY Mexico, and Arizona and of
the Northern Stales of the Mexican Re
public, and the viue aud olive lauds of
Southern California, the most productive
in the world.
In this connection, it will be seen that
General Rosecrans is in better business
than he would be ip running as the Demo
cratic candidate for Governor of Ohio.
General Fremont, we believe, is now in Eu
rope raising money for the main line from
Memphis westward. He ouly asks the
right of way and certain territorial lands
along the iine from Congress; for with
these aud the liberal grants offered by Tex
as, he calculates upon building the road
without further assistance of Government
bonds. We think, too, that on this basis
the road ought to be pushed through with
out difficulty, considering the advantages
of the route, the lightness of the work, and
the profits sure to follow.
Tiie Author of the Boutwell Let
ter. —The Chicago Times says of the rasp
ing letter addressed to Boutwell by Judge
Dent:
“ ‘ Who wrote De'nt’s letter ?’ seems to
be a prominent political question just now,
and some discoverer or inventor has given
the honor to Mr. Page, who is the law
partner of Mr. Dent. If there is good
reasoii for thinking that Dent did not write
the letter himself, there are a good many
gentlemen in Chicago who, upon careful
examination, will be ready to affirm that
its style of construction and thought are
peculiarly those of a gentleman who used
to have a considerable local reputation for
brilliancy, and who has since acquired
some national fame, named Henry 8 Fitch.
The points are so striking that Col. Fitcli
should have the lienefit of a doubt.”
The Gentle Annie on Horseback.—
Anna Dickinson lectured in San Francisco
recently, and wound up, according to the
reporter of the occasion, as follows t
“ She gave a description of her tour to
the Yosemitc valley, and commented very
severely on the ridiculous side saddle mode
of riding, that society had imposed ou her
sex, and said she knew what she was talk
ing about. She had tried both ways and
she could ride with ease iu the masculine
style. The side saddle was very typical of
the mode in which women go through the
world; it is a one-sided style all through;
oue side worn out and one side cramped
and dulled for want of use.”
[Fiom the Journal ts Agriculture.
Save the Corn.
Ait annual income equal to the value of
corn wasted and destroyed by vermin, iu
single counties, would make one rich in a
very few years.
The waste on single farms is sometimes
ten per cent, of the entire crop. Iu this
year of anticipated short crops of corn.it
is worth while to try to stop the leaks.
It is provoking to have the cattle break
into the field and destroy the growing
crop, but doubly so to see the corn destroy
ed by the rats after being housed in the
crib. But this provocation may be very
easily and cheaply avoided.
In the corn-growing regions we have no
ticed that a principal part of the crop is
stored in temporary cribs or poles, aud of
ten tvlthout any covering. These pens are
laid but a few inches from the ground, and
afford a most excellent harbor for rats,
which will eat, or contamiuatc and render
unfit for use a very large part of the corn.
We recommend for a cheap, temporary,
rat-proof crib, first four round posts set
firmly in the ground, extending about two
. feet above the surface, putting them at the
corners of a square area, eight feet on each
side. On each of these lay a sleeper, and
on these lay rails or poles, and build the
crib in the usual way; but before storing
any corn get either tin or sheet iron ami
nail to the upper part of the posts, letting,
it extend about half way from the top to
the ground, and entirely round the post,
and to be nailed on smoothly. This simple
arrangement will save a large amount oi
corn, which for a year aud more will be
money.
Fora permanent crib, or grauary, we
would adopt the same style of foundation
—making the posts a little higher, but not
so high as to offer a temptation for the
storage of plows or other tools. 3he space
under the crib should lie kept entirely clear
of every kind of plunder, and even of
weeds.
We once built a rail crib as above de
scribed in this State, and our neighbors
ridiculed it as a Yankee contrivance; but
while bushels of com, with the chit eaten
out, were found under some of their cribs
in the spring, no rat or mouse ever found
his way into our “Yankee contrivance.’
Another method of saving corn, or of
making a little go a great ways in feeding
stock, especially hogs, is to mix other feed
with it. We recollect that forty years ago
the farmers in New England raised hogs
that weighed from four to six hundred
pounds without feeding much corn to them.
But little corn grew there, and there were
no railroads to import it, nor were the
Chester Whites, or any other of the superior
modern breeds then introduced there ; aud
yet we know that the hogs taken to market
from the neighborhood in which we were
acquainted were, on the average, a good
deal heavier titan those brought to any
Western market for the last thirty years.
In fattening these hogs, peas were often
used to a considerable extent, they were
ground with oats and the meal scalded.
Sometimes pumpkins or potatoes were
boiled ami mashed, and “ provender” (oat
and pea meal) mixed with them.
By some such method as this, we believe
that farmers could fatten their hogs with
much less corn than is commonly used-
Potatoes are very abundant and cheap,
might be profitably fed to hogs ; oaf s are
not dear. If a mixture of oats aud corn
were ground and fed with boiled potatoes,
increasing the proportion of corn toward
the last, we believe the result would show
that pork can be made with half the corn
generally used—pork, too, that will not
shrink in the pot. Bran, also, is a very
good feed for hogs in warm weather; it
promotes their growth, and at present is
very cheap.
By the liberal use of brains in devising
ways and means, aud a little muscular
effort in preparing the feed, we believe that
even if the corn should be as short as is
now expected, it will be sufficient to fallen
the usual amount of pork, apd leave a
surplus ample for other purposes. In other
words, if proper economy is observed by
every one. in the use of corn, we believe
there will be no scarcity.
Fertilizers.— Prof. Johnson, of Yale,
has been analyzing some of the high priced
fertilizers in the market, and the result of
his examinations is thus stated ;
“ There is good reason to suppose that
some of the articles sold as fertilizers, and
for which high prices were paid, were the
products of deliberate fraud—their value io
the farmer being in strange contrast with
the price at which they were offered and
advertised.”
One of the samples analyzed contained
fertilizing ingredients which would have
cost the farmer, had he bought their equiva
lents at a druggist’s by wholesale, aud
mixed them himself, four dollars a ton more
than the article was sold for by the manu
facturer. The next best article sold at $65
a ton —actual money value of its ingredients
about $43 25. Another popular article is
sold at S2B per ton, estimated to be really
worth, as a fertilizer not m ore than $3 16,
currency, per ton. Many other favorite
articles of this class, lie says, soems to have
deserved their reputation but little belter.
We have no doubt that there are honest
aud economical fertilizers, but uot many,
aud could the public be truly assured of
what these are, they would be in great de
mand, and command a high price.

Saltpetre Solution for Seed Wheat.
—Captain James W. Phillips, a highly suc
cessful wheat-grower near Pedlar Mills, in
Amherst, Virginia, informs me that lie lias
found, !y repeated experiments through a
loug course of years on the same and in
different fields, arid on several varieties of
wheat, that soaking his seed wheat over
night iu a solution made of two pounds of
saltpetre to eight gallons of wqtep is ff sure
preventative of rust. Oil taking his seed out
of the brine he rolls it in freshly-slaked
lime if he has it, if not, in dry ashes, and
sows it that morning, plowing and harrow
ing it in that day. He attributes the effi
cacy of the preparation entirely to the salt
petre, which, he says, also iucreases the
crop and hastens its maturity a week or ten
days.— An Old Farmer.
Cure kob Black Tongue.—Mr. Robert
H. Wynne, of this place, has handed us a
recipe for the cure of black tongue, which
he says is infallible. He had seventeen
head of cattle down with it, and did not
lose one. The saipe remedy also cures
hog choiera, which he says is the same as
black tongue in cattle. The Condition
Powders mentioned in the recipe is put iu
to make the cattle more readily eat it.—
Here is the remedy:
One tablespoonful pulverized copperas,
one tablespoonful brimstone, one table
spoonful Condition Powders. All to be
mixed in one peck of bran and given three
or four times.— Gadsden■ Times.
Purchase of Blooded Stock.— William
R. Elliston, Esq., of Nashville, recently
purchased in New York, a yearling colt, a
brother of the celebrated Dexter, for which
he paid $2,000. Mr. Elliston, with his
neighbor John Kirkman, Esq., also pur
chased lately in Chicago, seven fine trotting
colts and fillies, paying for all from two to
three thousand dollars. If nothing more
this denotes a revival of a taste for such
things among the Southern people which
in the good old times made them noted all
over the world.
TnE Rothschilds a Republican Ally
on the Debt. —The Tribune says: “It
was well understood in certain circles a
year ago that the Rothschilds, being holders
of United States bonds, had written strongly
to Mr. Belmont in condemnation of the
Democratic plan of partial repudiation,
and had dictated for the party a different
policy. The Citizen and Round Table gives
an extract from this letter, which was
dated Paris, March 18,1868, and signed by
Barou James Rothschild. Beginning with
the proposition to convert the 5-20 bonds
into 50 year 4 per cents., the Baron declares
that the scheme smacks of repudiation, and
then he goes into the general subject, and
informs Mr. Belmont that ‘anything but,
payment of the debt in specie, and interest
meanwhile at the rate nominated in the
bonds, must be frowned upon, opposed and
discountenanced.’ ”

The Doctor treats all diseases, m all tbeit
various forms and stages, without, the use of
Calomel or Mercury in any form, Strychnine,
Quinine, Arsenic or any Poisonous Substance
whatever; his remedies being compounded
bv himself, and composed entirely of Roots,
Herbs, B.irks, Seeds, etc., purely vegetable,
| aud highly electrical; remedies that do not
i weaken or debilitate the system in the least,
but strengthen, vitalize and iuvigorste; neither
do they prevent the patient from attending to
his or her every day husiuess. Particular at
tention paid to
DISEASES OF THE EYE AND EAR.
The Doctor has visited many of the cities,
two, three and four times over, and has suc
cessfully treated more than 1,200 persons in
the Slates of Georgia aud Alabama alone, and
more than 2,500, if we include Kentucky and
Tennessee, and more than 3,700, including
North and South Carolina, very many of whom
were pronounced incurable by their attending
physicians, and given up to die, but who to
day, thank God, are still iu the land of (lie liv
ing, and in the enjoyment of perfect health,
pur.-uiiig their accustomed a vacations.
The Doctor does not make these statements
because he considers liimsell more skillful
than those other physicians, lint simply be
cause he sincerely believes that the remedies
which lie employs will prove much more effica
cious, aud are more completely adapted to the
treatment of. diseases, especially those of a
chronic nature.
Afflicted, read carefully—consider seriously
and unprejudicedly, and act immediately. Call
at once at his rooms, as the Doctor charges
nothing for consultation and advice.
The. Doctor furnishes all the necessary reme
dies at once to remove the complaint, thorough
ly and permanently, at a very reasonable price.
The Doctor, if he can cure you, or even
benefit you, will tell yon so ; but if he caunot,
lie will so inform you, aud will not take your
case in hand. sep22-w2fr2*el
