One of these is a letter from Mr. Henry Clew-, declaring that as an indispensable preliminary to resumption, the amount of gold in the country must be increased and that of currency reduced. The former end would be promoted by the retortion of gold in the treasury rather than throwing it on the market in times of active export ation of specie.

We are glad to loaru that the deterioration of the road bed and bridges, which it was apprehended would he considerable, from the long interval since work was suspended, is pronounced comparatively trivial, in consequence of the substantial character of the work originally, and the statement is officially made that the Hue from Walhalla to Rabun Gap (the tunnels included) eau be com pleted in twenty months from the time that operations arc resumed. Colonel IjOW proposes at oneo to commence the v survey of the line, with an effective force of assistants, and expoets to have the working estimates ready for the con tractors io the early part of April, so that j there arc reasonable hopes for the comple tion of the road from Anderson to the Rabun Gap, by the month of December, , IsTo.

Messrs. Branch, Scott k Cos, Dear Sirs—ln reply to your letter, I I wi uid say, that I applied Reynolds’ Chesa- j peake guano to a portion of my cotton last 1 year. I used at the rate of 300 pounds j "per acre on old worn out lands, that would not have made more than AH) pounds per acre. I gathered at the rates of 6or 700 pouuds per acre, and the cotton was con Adorably injured by the drouth, which commenced the 12th of May, and continued uutil the 26th of July. I also used soum on turnips, 250 pounds on three quarters of an acre. Sowed in drills of 26 inches, the laud very poor, apd sowed on the 10th day of September. The yield tar excedcs that of any former crop, uotwi'hstanding I have been raising turnips for twtnty years. I am not prepared to bay as to the mer it* ol the Chesapeake in comparison to other fertilizers, its I have experimented but little with the different fertilizers. I feel no hesitancy in recommending the Chesapeake guano as a valuable fertilizer. Several of my neighbors have used the t ’hesapeake, and all are pleased with the result. 1 oiy respectfully yours, G. U Weaver. AGRICULTURAL. P. J. BBRCtkMAHB, EDITOR. —:o: Aiigustii, Ga, How to kill the Caterpillar fij. The Journal & Messenger finds in an exchange, without credit, a notice of a meeting recently held by the planters of Opelousas, Louisiana, to hear reports of committees previously appointed and to concert further measures for the destruc tion of the caterpillar fly. The plan report ed was, that fires should be built twice a week, on every Wednesday and Saturday, and oftener if practicable, by everybody and everywhere. The fires are to be made small, so made as to create as much biazs and as little heat a,, possible —on an elevat ed position, if practicable, and at a dis tance of two hundred and fifty yards. Old shingies, branches, tallow and cotton and weeds were the combustible material rec ommended. The report al.-o recommended, as the larvie of insects are found in the fields the ground should Ire plowed as early as practicable, so as to submit it to the frosts of winter, and that corn and cotton stalks, and all vegetation capable of sheltering the larvat, should be burnt. I>r. Boagin delivered the aduiess, in which he said that planters had the policy of securing exemption from the ravages of the worm, in the simple fact that the fly ! produces the caterpillar—that the fly is at tracted by light, and that the fire destroys i it. He recommended that the fires be made au amusement to the young folks, and that they should not be continued too late at night. Commencing at dark, they might be kept up until nine or ten o'clock. Also, that a person might usefully go about on horseback with a lighted torch, to start the flies toward the fires. As long as the cotton fly does not appear in force, the fires should be lighted twice a week ; oth erwise, it would,bo well to light them every night. Failure will be almost cer tain, it was thought, if the fires were too large. In that ease the flies will be start ed, but would fail to reach the fire on ac count of the surrounding heated air. A friend of Hr. Boagin s, during the prevalence of fevers last fall, lighted numerous fires. He had ph.nted canes and toimceo. All sorts of inserts were burnt, and at this date, although he lias gathered one crop of tobacco, and the second is shoulder high, he has not seen a worm in it. Years ago, a Louisana planter tried fires to destroy the cotton fly, bur, he made his fires too large, and they attracted flies from all quarters, which lailed to reach the fired on account of the heated air, and they took refuge in his field and generated cater pillars in untold rfumbers, and liis crop was most thoroughly destroyed. The importance of destroying the fly is thus calculated: One fly of to daj will he reproduced by 250,000 on the 13th of August; then by 125,000,000 on the 13th of September; then by 62,500,0W),000 on the 13th of October. It was believed by intelligent planters that the fly system of destruction would succeed, and that the originators of it would be regarded before long as the re generators of the fortunes of the South. Manum. Nothing pays the farmer a better per centage on the investment than manure. The best farmer is not he who cultivates the largest number of acres, but he who raises the best and largest crops upon a given number of acres. The soil is some what like the uian or beast; if you work it, without nourishment, it soon dies, or becomes worthless. The subject of im proving the soil is now engaging the earn est attention of our best farmers, and wherever manure is used, it has paid at least a hundred per cent, upon the outlay Soluble Phosphate.— The rapidity with which phosphate manure stimulates the growth of vegetation depends upon the readiness with whioh it may be dis solved in water and taken up by the root. Avery good method of making the phos phoric acid of ordiuary bone dust soluble, is to spread it between layers of fresh and fermenting barn yard manures The heap should bo covered over with a thickness of several inches of dry earth, to absorb all the ammonia evolved from the barn yard manure, and the organic, matter in the bones. The whole should be under cover to prevent the mass from being soaked by the rain. Home-Made Guano.—Collect a barrel of bones and crush them; mix with a barrel of oak or hickory ashes; moisten with soap-suds, apply a quart or two at a time. Use as a special fertilizer on Imelons, squashes, early corn and cucumbers, allow ing a gill to a hill. “ Grain-Killed Horses.” Some years ago a man lived iu this vi cinity who had kept, livery stables Iboth in New York and Philadelphia, and he owned one of the poorest grass farms you would wish to sec, but well watered. He would buy horses in those cities from gen tlemen that kept but one horse—horses that had bad a good deai of work on tbe road as family horses, arul were fed very highly of grain, and had been in the city some four, six or more years, and were what horsemen called grain-killed. He would bring them up generally in the Spring, and let them run at pasture, and I have seen from six to ten horses in a field for weeks together, where you could not sec a green thing, unless some weed or brier that the horses would not eat. lie would keep them just alive for eight, twelve or more months, as the case might be, but at least i ight months, and put them in the stable about Feb. 15, or March Ist, having let them run in the barnyard after snow came, but boused from storms. Ho would begin feeding a , few carrots at first, and then add grain af ter being ground, but never feeding very highly, and in a few weeks the horses would look full, with smooth coats aud well tilled between the ribs, and in May or June, he would lake them back to the city ami sell them as horses just from the country —the old owners often buying the horse they sold, because the horse could not eat grain enough to look as tine and soft coated as he did when he re turned to the city, when at pasture or in the yard. At this farm the horse was kept just alive, but little or no work. I tried it on one or more horses I have owned, aud found it very beneficial, es pecially to horses that were over ten years of age. 1 think that eight quarts of grain given to a horse, after some six months of this treatment, will have a bet ter effect on the looks of the hair, and feelings or life ot the horse, than twelve or fourteen quarts did before : remember, l speak from facts. You look at coach horses, in your city, which you know have been there six or eight years, with a good deal of work, and t tie coachman allowed to feed ail the grain he chooses, and also as little hay, aud see if I am Dot sustained iu what I write. Grain-killed horses are always gaunt 1-etween the ribs ; the hair stares and looks dead, and the flesh feels hard and dry ; the horse is dull and stupid—not playful, and looks sleepy about the eyes. Treat him a.- 1 say, aud, my word lor it. in a few months he will be his own self, playful at the halter, prompt to the b:t, and look sleek. To give less grain, more damp hay or green food, carrots, potatoes or some thing of that kind in modern; ion is my ad vice and practice. —James Thompson, Hose Hill , fii Country Gentleman. Progress of Grape Culture In the West . -W Ine-MaKing—Native Grapes. At the late annual meeting of the American Wine Growers' Association, E. i A- Thompson, Hsq., iu an inaugural upon the occasion of his re election as President tor the third term, gives a suoeinet but in teresting survey of the progress of Grape Culture during the past ten years in the West and its future aims and prospects. We quote as follows from Mr. Thompson's address: It is filling in these annual periods ot ours to pause a moment, look back and survey the past, and from it, if we can, find encouragement for ihe future. Com pare the grape culture of to day with even ien years ago, and what do we find ? Then we had two varieties of grapes—the Catawba aud Isabella—now we have more than one hundred. Then our native wines were simpiy Catawba, with here aud there a few gallons of Isabella—both too acid for ! the American taste, and, consequently, never have been nor oever will be popular wines. Now, in addition to these, we have the Delaware, Rentz, Herbemont, ; Cunningham, C&saady, Jutlander, Taylor, North Carolina Seedling, Rogers No. 1, Diana, lona. Martha ami many other o - for white wines, and for red wines, the Ives, Virginia Seedling, Concord, Clinton, Hartford Prol fie, Groveling, Cynthiana, Rogers' hybrids, and many others. Ten years ago American wines were unknown except in a lew districts and localities. Now their reputation and use are not only co extensive with our country, but have reached Flurope. and created such a sen sation and surprise among its best judges, as to extort from them the expression to one of our Commissioners at the Paris Ex position, “If you can make such wines in America, you have no need of our wines.” And our wmes are not only increasing in quality and excellence, but in such a re duction in price as to place them within the reach of all, and thus popularize them. A gentlemau recently returned from Eu rope has told me that he can now get better and cheaper wines in Cincinnati than he got in Paris. All this raves us wine grow ers ground for encouragement. We have made more true progress in grape culture, discovering new varieties and wine-making, in the last ten years than ail Europe has made in a century, and I predirt that ten years more will find us shipping wines to Flurope, and competing with them in the markets of the world. Why not ? .Ours is a young country', a virgin soil, rich in all the materials to put the most sacchar ine in the grape, and, therefore, make the best wine. Theirs is an old, worn out soil, deteriorated and impoverished by the con stant culture of a thousand years. Their vineyards yield 200 gallons to the acre, ours 500 to 1,001). Their grape lands are all occupied, while we have untold millions of acres waiting to become the home of the vine. The wine growers of our country have uu 1 important work to perform. It not only 1 affects the moral, but, the political econo my of our country. We are called a nation iof whiskey drinkers. France is a nation of wine drinkers. Our country is daily and hourly filled with drunken brawls, ending with bloodshed and murder. France has 1 none of these. A man drunken on whiskey is wicked, ugly and brutal; ho wants to beat his wife, or abuse his children, or dis embowel his friend with a knife. If a man drinks too much wine he is happy, hilari ous, good natured, and wants to accommo" date all LH friends with a mall loan of money. Whiskey destroys the man, while pure, generous wine gives him strength, and builds him up. And this is tiie work of the wine grower, to discourage whiskey drinking by the encouragement of wine drinking. And to do this successfully, we must lower the price of our wine—that is, we must grow more grapes, and make more wine, so that we can afford to give it to the people at a lower price. We must make it cheaper than whiskey; and this we can well afford to do. Take, for instance, the Ives or Concord grapes; their average yield when in full bearing is from five to eight hundred gallons per acre —call it five lmn dred —deduct one hundred for expenses of cultivation and making the wine, and you have left four hundred gallons as the an nual net product of au acre ofland. Then put down the price to one dollar a gallon, and you have four hundred dollars as the net yearly product of an acre ofland. What crop can you raise that will bring one-half the money ? And at this price the people will drink wine. More than four millions of the Ives Seedling grape have been plant ed during the past live years. These will soon bo in full bearing, yielding two million gallons annually; and we are still planting, so that the time is not far distant when we can give the people a pure, generous wine at seventy-five centsa gallon, and our vine* yards at the same time yield us an annual income of three hundred dollars per acre. To Prepare Cotton Seed i on Manure. —Mr. Gideon W. Dowse gives the follow ing plan for preparing cotton seed manure, and preventing the immense loss of'am monia by gradual evaporation from the old-fashioned seed pile, thus retaining it in muck as the most valuable of all food for plants: I hauled the muck directly to the field, and made pens ten by ten at intervals.— Having determined what distance I wished the plants to stand, and how much manure to the hill, it was an easy matter to deter* mine the bulk necessary to each pen to manure an acre. I then put the cotton seed one inch think all over the pen, then six inches of muck evenly over the seed— thus in alternate layers of one of seed to five of muck, until four feet high—the muck being the top layer. And now for the result. When the banks were opened, there was not a vestige of seed to be seen —not a particle of un pleasant odor, even when handled and put to the nose. The whole mass perfectly friable ar.d had an oily appearance —all going to show that I had accomplished what is most desirable in all manure, so fixed the ammonia that it was fully secured as food for the growing plant. The land to which it was applied was very old and exhausted by long and shallow culture, that when I began to plant it, three hun dred pounds of cotton, or four bushels of corn to the acre. That year, subsoiling the land, applying about one quart of the above compost to the hill, gave me twenty five bushels to the acre. I have used it frequently on corn and cotton since, al ways with the most satisfactory results. I am satisfied that with deep and thorough disintegration of the subsoil in preparing land, frequent and light stirring of' the surface in cultivation, and with muck and cotton seed compost we need neither Peruvian or any other guano to bring our old lands up to 30 bushels of corn or 500 pounds of lint cotton per acre. I have for years wished to give this experiment to my brother planters, and have been de terred hither by the fear ol intruding upon space that might be occupied by a more valuable article. Feeding and Management of Milch Cows, The first requisite in feeding is, that the animal should have abundance ot food, so as to be able to consume all that she re quires in as short a time as possible, as then she will lie down, aud have the more time to secrete her milk, aud that milk to acquire richness. The pasture should be oftened changed, and if not in pasture, the food should be succulent, otherwise, fat instead of milk will be produced; buc cows fed with food of two watery a nature, which have roots early in the season, acquire an addi tion of more solid food, such as meal or , good clover chaff, otherwise the milk, ihough in considerable quantity, will be poor and wheyey, yielding no cream. Roots should be carefully selected as having no symptonoi'decay or rottenness, and should be mild in flavor, or the butter will be tainted. In very cold weather, apd as a change of food, use crushed linseed (or cot ton seed ?) and bruised oats, steamed or boiled. The best and, in fact, the only roots that should be given, are carrots, the yellow bullock turnip, and mangel, suc ceeding each other from the time they are required till the cow returns to pas ture. Both grains and mangel-wurzel are only to be used as creating a large quantity of milk, in which quality is not sought. The cow and the horse cau well pasture together, but uo other animal should be allowed to run in the same field —pigs aud poultry much spoiling aud tainting the feed. All rank weeds must be care lully eradicated and garden refuse kept out of the cow’s reach, especially shrubs, yew hedge cuttings, etc., these things be ing often poisonous, aud occasioning the cow to slip her calf. The same remark will apply to dead and putrid matter. Let the pasture be free from ponds or j other dirty drinking places, where the j water is fouled and rendered unwhole -1 some by decayed matter, or the drainage i’romjdungheaps, and the habit which ; cattle have of standing and manuring in it for hours together. A clean tub or tank should be used for watering the cat tle, aud kept supplied with clean, sweet water, which, if pumped from a well, should be exposed to the air a considera ble time before use. Cows should be taken in about nine o’clock, or when forming their night abode, and on no account allow them to be hurried to or from pasture, especially when full of milk. No less necessary than proper food is the proper management for milkipg cows. It should be always borne in namd that the animal whose capabilities are for milk ing becomes lean on the same quantity of food as will make the feeding cattle fat. The consequence of this is that the milking, and therefore lean eow, is more affected by changes of temperature than the feeding or fat one. It follows that in the successful manage ment of the milch eow great care should be taken to avoid vapid and considerable changes of temperature, as well as damp or strong clay land. The climate ot Eng land is worse in this particular than that of Newfoundland or many other much more northerly countries, in consequence of its greater variableness. To obviate this dis advantage of climate, there should always be a clean, dry shed in which the cattle may take shelter whenever they feel uncom fortable either from beat and flies, or from cold and damp. This shed should be so constructed that it may to a certain extent clean itself by drainage, to avoid the ac cumulation of foul water —the floor being constructed of materials of a dry nature, i The aspect should be such as to avoid north and northeasterly winds- An animal always cold is always uncorn i fortable.and a large proportion of the food she takes is consumed in keeping up the heat of the body, instead of making milk i— warmth is therefore, in effect, food to , the oow, and may be obtained at little cost and with little trouble by means of a rhed as recommended, aDd where this is dry and clean, the oow will resort to it spon taneously, whenever she knows it to be conducive to her comfort, which, as above said, is her food to a great extent. Cold and sudden chills, on the other hand, are a great detriment to the appearance of the 1 tow. aud are frequently the cause of her falling off in her milk so early in the sea son. So important is it to provide against great alteration of temperature, tha the impossibility of doing this in large pastures has within the last few years engendered the iung disease which has been so de structive among cattle. Formerly pastures were small in extent and defended by large and thick hedge rows as well as trees, but the practice latterly having been to open fields and to divest them of everything which could form a shelter for the cattle, what has been gained in increasing the quantity of feed, has been lost by the dis ease which the inclemency of an unshel tered fieid has engendered. Much injury is likewise done by turning cattle out too early in the season, exchang ing them from a warm yard or shed (espe cially just after calving), to pass the nights l in the open air, before the season is suffi ; ciently advanced to make such ex pc .are | bearable. i In proportion as the breed of cattle has ! improved, so has the necessity of care be i come apparent; delicacy of constitution and physical sensitiveness always increas ing with high blood. Asa principle of economy I strongly advocate the practice (which is lately gaining ground), of bring ing mileh cows in all night) all through the vear-for they spoil too much grass, espe- I daily in full strong pasture during the night, and are not benefitted by being in | the dewy grass too early in the morning ; • the manure also would be in the barn yard where it is valuable, instead of under the hedge, where it is lost and where the cat tic would naturally lie for protection. During the winter, when tied up in stalls, great advantage is derived from thoroughly cleaning the cattle occasionally with a brush, as they cannot then turn round and lick themselves, or rub as they would in the field. The feet should also be examined lest they should get too long, and thereby weaken the pastures, which is easily rem edied by the removai of a portion of' the toe with a small saw. BY TELEGRAPE' FROM ATLANTA. Proceedings of the Legislature. SPECIAL TELEGRAPHIC CORRESPONDENCE OF THE CHRONICLE A SENTINEL. The liijle Claim —Veto of the Jury Bid — Washington Embassy—The Eligibility Question —Spouting Curbed—The Fi nance Committee will “ White- Wash’’ Bullock, &c. Atlanta, February 4, p. in.—The Sen ate met this morning pursuant to yester day’s adjournment. The vexed and much discussed question ol the claim for twenty-five thousand dol lars for Sharpe's ritles, furnished Governor Brown, before the secession of Georgia in IS6O, with interest from the date of pur chase, presented by Mr. Penfield, the agent of the Hartford (Connecticut) arms man ufactory which furnished the ritles, was again before the Senate this morning on a motion made to reconsider the report made by the Committee appointed some time since to investigate the transaction. The motion to reconsider was put to the vote and a “tie” the result: for tlieproposi tionto reconsider, thirteen (13); against it, thirteen (13). This gave the casting vote to the President, who, voting avo, the motion was carried by a majority of one vote. On the question whether the Senate should sustain the veto by the Governor of. the bill.passedat this session of the Legisla- j ture providing for the diawing of juries by the Superior Courts of this State, the vote ] stood as follows: to sustain, fifteen; j not to sustain, nine. The requisite two- ! thirds of the Senate not voting nay the j veto of the bill was declared sustained. Tha speeial order for the day was then taken up—the resolution introduced sev eral days previously, to appoint a corumit teeof three, consisting of Joseph E. Brown, Alexander il. Stephens, and J, K, Parrott, to go as an embassy to Washington City for the purpose of placating a Congress in censed with our repeated ruin, and learn upon what terms the State can be secured from further molestation. Mr. Jordan offered a substitute to the original resolution that the eligibility of negroes to hold office be referred to the decision of the Supreme Court of the State. Mr. Coleman offered another substitute to the effect that the expulsion of the ne gro members from their seats in the Sen ate was illegal ; that, as a consequence, tiie occupaucy of their seats by their white opponents was also illegal, and declaring that the new-comers should vacate them immediately, and the expelled members re-seated. After some discussion the original reso lution was withdrawn with the consent of the Senate by a vote of 24 ayes to 10 nays. In the House of Representatives a com munication was read from Louisville, Ky., asking that an appropriation be made by the State to aid in building monuments over the graves of Union soldiers in the national cemeteries. The petition is cer tainly a cool one, when the Legislature the other day refused to assist in the burial of our owu dead, to expect that we should contribute money to erect monuments over their slayers. A motion was made to refer the resolu tion relative to the status of Georgia with regard to the Reconstruction Acts and lost. Mr. Price moved the adoption of a sub stitute proposing to leave the whole ques tion of the eligibility of negroes to hold office to the Supreme Court of the State, and requiring the House Judiciary Com mittee to report what legislation ig neces sary to bring the case before this tribunal Mr. Flournoy made a speech iu opposi tion to the resolution, (ieorgia, lie said, had been already reconstructed and was now in the Union, Congress having ac cepted her Constitution. Besides, the Supreme Court had no jurisdiction in the matter; this House was clearly and un deniably the sole judge of the eligibility ol its members. There urns now, however, a process being tried by the Supreme Court and should this decision be lavorable to the negroes, as a good citizen he would acquiesce in the decision. But this decis ion could not influence the present Legis lature, though it might subsequent ones. He had no reason to believe that any ac tion this House might take in the matter would, iu the least, influence Congress, for the latter would certainly act in whatever manner they might deem tit. If Congress disregards the Constitution it will force the negroes back on us; if not they will never be leseated. Should Congress in its power determine to reseat them, then by this act they will decree a final and total obliteration of all that remains of State lines aud State rights. He alluded in Ins speech to Senator Trumbull in terms highly complimentary. Mr. Barnrnn moved the previous ques tion. The preamble to the original resolution was agreed to by a vote of 81 ayes to 6<l nays. The second resolution, instructing the Judiciary Committee to report what legis lation is necessary, was at first iost, but, on being amended by a substitute, was adopted by a vote of 85 ayej to 50 nays. Mr. O’Neal introduced" a resolution to transmit the resolution just adopted to the Supreme Court and request its opinion in writing, but it was not taken up. A resolution to coniine each speaker to j fifteen minutes time, which will have the effect of stopping a good deal of senseless spouting, was adopted. A jury bill was also passed. So" far the investigations of the Finance : Committee of Bullock’s financial opera tions indicate an exoneration of the Ex press agent from the charges made by the I State Treasurer. This action will hardly take any one by surprise,as it was evident ly foreshadowed in the “card” which they saw fit to address to the public. X. Violation of Contracts—The Eligibility Question • Again—Animated Debate — Scott's Speech— O' Neal's, Rawls’, Shumate's, Phillips', Lane's—No Re consideration ■ Atlanta, February 5, p. m.—A bill was introduced in the Senate this morniDg to provide a punishment for either em ployer or employee for the violation of con tracts. The punishment which is in ac cordance with Section 4,60S of the State Code. The Judiciary Committee reported to amend by making the fine to be imposed one hundred dollars or imprisonment in the common jail for the term of six months. The bill was passed as amended. In the House of Representatives Mr. Scott moved to reconsider Price's resolu tion, adopted yesterday, leaving the eligibility question to be decided by the Supreme Court, contending that every one who had voted in favor of this resolution was voting the expelled negroes seats on this floor. The Constitution made each House the only judge of the qualification of its own members. It is impossible for the Legislature to exercise judicial, nor can the judiciary exercise legislative functions. He was unwilling to prostitute one branch of the State government to another and a subordinate branch. The said Bryant had said that Congress would be down on us if wc did not re-seat the negroes. In the language of Georgia's wisest citizen, he was neither to be whipped dot fatigued into a base ' compliance with the iniquitous demands. He characterized Price's resolution to be another Trojan Horse, freighted with dan ger. He denied that the Court had juris diction in the ease, the Legislature could not give it any more jurisdiction. Having, by a vote expelling negroes, said they were ineligible but a short time ago, are you now going to say that you were wrong ? Let us not act a fraud upon the people of : the State. Congress well knows that it has ; no power whatever over this subject. Con gress have said we have done wrong in eX ; peliing, but has never asked us to put them back. Mr. Morgan characterized Price’s reso iuton as a mere bagatelle. This question was so exciting all over the State, it was very proper that this Legislature should do something in the matter. In voting for this resolution he only acknowledged the fact that this was a Judicial question, and one which belongs to the courts exclusive ly and not to the Legislslature. To quiet ! the matter he wished the Legislature to say so. The settlement of this question ; by the court will not re-seat the negroes. Mr. O’Neal said that he looked upon I this resolution as but a party trick that does ; not mean anything in particular, or rath er means this: Congress is in session now; j th:3 resolution seems to say to Congress ! “ we are just about doing something to re seat the negroes, hold on awhile.” He charged all this on the Democratic party as a bad policy. He said that if this House wished to re-seat tbe negro members, it could do so in ten minutes without recourse to tbe courts. AY hen he was a candidate tor the Legislature he had told both black and white that negroes could not hold office. He had not however voted to ex j pel them, neither should he vote to re-seat them. He insisted that the decision of the Supreme Court, whatever it may be, would not be binding upon this Legislature. Air. Rawls believed, for his part,that the House was effectually Ku-kluxed. What are you so frightened about ? Have you committed a murder ? He believed him self, he had done right when he voted to expel the negroes, and ho was willing to stand bv his act, he was not here to defy Congress. But are you not restored to the Union ? Have you not swallowed the 14th Article ? Had you not rather have a white House of Representatives than lose two Senators in the United States Con gress. He thought it a good swop, though he had voted for both of them, and would be pleased to have them in Congress. Air. Shumate said the Democratic party was accused of duplicity, fraud, and double faceuness, and those who make the charge barely illustrate the fact, that suspicion haunts the guilty mind. Congress, Bul lock and the Republican party do not think we have done a senseless thing, but. disapprove the spirit in which it is done. We wish to show tho world that we do not wish to shun a Judicial decision. Mr. Phillips repelled the charge that this resolution is but a farce. He agreed with Air. Scott that the Supreme Court had no jurisdiction over the eligibility of members of tho Legislature. Acting under the Constitution we decided negroes ineligible to seats on thi3 floor ; from this decision there is no appeal. This resolu tion proposed to leave to the courts the decision on the question of the ineligibility of negrots to civil office, and says we will acquiesce. Air. Lane was fearful if this house did nothing on this subject that Congress may do Something affecting our organization. If satisfied that Congress will do nothing, then there is no cause for this resolution. He honestly believed it best for this question to be put before the courts. The motion to reconsider was put to the vote and lost — ayes 56, nays 76. Air. Turnlin introduced a resolution de claring that this House having already decided the question of the eligibility of negroes to seats in this House, no further action bo had on this subject, and the House will, in future, entertain no politi cal question. The resolution was not ta ken up. Air. Duncan introduced a resolution to adjourn sine die on .he 13th inst. The resolution was not taken up- X. The Senate on the Eligibility Question Insolvent Costs —Adjournment Probable --Bryant and Common Schools—Lobby Members Present. Atlanta, February 6, p. m.—ln tho Senate to-day it was moved to re-consider the bill passed yesterday to provide a pun ishment for a violation of contracts by either employer or employee. After a long discussion the motion was lost—ayes lo ; nays 17. The Senate took up the House resolu tion referring the eligibility of negioes to ollice to the Supreme Court. Mr. Speer offered to amend by saying the Legislature will abide by the decision of said Court. Mr. Candlercalled the previous question, pending which, Mr. Adkins offered a substitute to re seat the negroes at once. Mr. Burns saidtiiat Spears' proposition was very objectionable. The Constitution said that the Senate was the sole judge ol the qualification of its own members. He having sworn to support this Constitu tion ho should not favor any proposition to shift the responsioility. Mr. Adkins’ substitute was ruied irrele vant because it was introduced after the call for the previous question. The Senate refusing to sustain the call, tiie presiding officer ruled that farther ac tion on iwhis day, was unparliamentary, so the resolution lies over. There was passed by the House, a bill to pay Bird and Kalbo $1,500, for artificial limbs, heretofore furnished soldiers. In the House, Mr. Harper, of Terrell, moved to reconsider the bill passed yester day, to repeal the act of the last session authorizing the collection of an extra tax. to pay insolvent criminal costs in Musco gee and Richmond Counties. After considerable discussion, indulged in by Messrs. Harper and Bethuue, in fa vor, and Grimes and Saussy in opposition, the motion prevailed. A communication was read from Mr. Lewis, Secretary of the State Agricultural Society, petitioning the Legislature to ap propriate money to the Society. Aiso to establish a bureau of immigra tion. Mr. Lewis intending to address the Leg islature on Monday evening, the Ball was tendered to him for that purpose. A bill to allow any rate of interest agreed upon less than ten per cent; after a short discussion was lost. Mr. Anderson introduced a resolution appointing a Committee to examine into the business of the two Houses, with a view to an early adjournment. xr. O’Neal moved to adjourn sine die this day. This was not adopted, but Anderson's resolution was adopted. Mr. Bryant introduced a bill covering several quires of paper, to organize a sys tem of common schools for the State. His motion was adopted to lay it on the table, and without reading, have it printed for the use of the House. Many propositions are pending before the two Houses, which keep a respectable number of lobby members here. X. ASSOCIATED PRESS DISPATCHES. Congressional. HOUSE.

Febuary 5, 1869—P.M.} COTTON.—Since our la9t review the staple has constantly tended upward, in response to Foreign ac counts. A small stock, and comparatively light ex ports from this country, seems to have caused specu lation in Liverpool, notwithstanding dull trade reports from Manchester; hence, alter a week of much activ ity we once more see that market approximating the basis of prices ruling here, but still too low to admit of profit to the exporter. On Saturday this market opened quiet at 27c, but in response to the tenor of accounts closed firm at half a eeut advance. On Monday we ruled quiet but firm. On Tuesday buyers acted with caution, not with* standing the activity abroad, and our market ruled very quiet at 27 to 27>£. On Wednesday we opened with a good demand at 27Kc, and advanced during the day iu response to accounts. Sales were large, and the day dosed with holders asking 28c. On Friday there existed a fair demand on the basis of 28c, and sales were again large, but withau ample offering stock no advance iu prices could be establish* ed. To-day the market lias ruled very quiet, but sell ers so far sefuse to make any concessions. HECRHTB OF COTTON.

WORKS UNDER THE IMMEDIATE superintendent* of Dr. G. A. LIE BIG, the celebrated Agricultural Obemist now offer their unrivalled g-tjjljsto TO THE PLANTERS OF GEORGIA. Guaranteed to bo equal to any fertilizer heretofore used, not excepting genuine Peruvian Guano. By various tests made by experienced planters of cotton, it has been conclusively proven that an applica tion, pound for pound, alongside Peru vian, produces fully as good results in favorable seasons, and in dry weather the crop stands the drought much better. It has also been demonstrated that in every case it makes a good stand, grows off quickly, matures the crop earlier, and picks out better than where none is ap plied, and makes a better and heavier staple. When applied at the rate of 250 pounds per acre, it will make two good success si ve crops, thus demonstrating its perma nent qualities, which cannot be said of Peruvian. One hundred and titty to two buDdred pounds have always, in average seasons. INCREASED THE CROP ONF HUNDRED PER CENT. Where a more liberal application has been made, the yiqjd has been in propor tion. This can be relied upon only when the following directions arecoinplied with although some planters have gotten the best results by listing the same as is done with Peruvian. DIRECTIONS : Rub the seed with the Guano before planting, and use not less than 150 pounds per acre in the drill, indirect contact with the seed. The application can bo increased to 500 pounds, without auy risk, with a corre spondiug and certain result. Be sure the laud is well draiued and the plow and hoe kept vigorously going, to keep down the grass and give the cotton plant a chance to get the full benefit of the ma - nure, otherwise it must fail of its proper result. It willgiveequal results on anv ether crop to which it is applied. The manufacturers guarantee satisfactory re sults in all cases, if the foregoing directions are complied with. We confidently recommend this fertil izer to our friends and customers, feeling assured from the experience of the past two years that it will accomplish all that is claimed for it by the manulacturers.
