ADDKKSS OF COL. PALMER.
Tho Agricultural Convention of South
Carolina a-cmlilcd at Columbia Wednes
day last. General J. Johnson Haygood
was elected President. Delegates were
present from eightjen Districts. Vv’c Darn
from the Columbia Phnwir. that:
On motion of Governor Orr, Col. J. B.
Palmer was requested to give some infor
mation to the Convention relative to
manufacturing at the Fouth. In response,
Col. Palmer rea l the following verv inter
esting paper, which he had prepared on
the subject. Upon the conclusion of
which, a res u ion of thanks was adopted:
Mr. President and Gentlemen of the
(.'invention : SVith, I trust, a proper ap
preciation of the emit :sy of the Conven
tion in affording meet) opportunity to sub
mit the following paper 'or their consider
ation: an I with a painful sense of my io
■!'. tv tn do justice to -o important a sut
jeet, fraught, as I 1». lieve it to be. with
such vital interest to the Mouth; but with
a recognition of tho tact that it is the duty
of every citizen to do what be can to ad
• ano" f ,c prosperity of the country, I prr
ceedtoread what I have hastily, and I j
fear, very imperfectly prepared.
Th- advantage possessed by the S <uth j
over the North in manufacturing eot'on, j
may be stated briefly, to be :
1. An abundance of unoccupied water j
1 ower in every Southern State.
2. A mild climate. Fire, for heating j
purpose.*-, is only necessary for from one to
three months in the year. Resinous heart- j
pine wood can b« procured at very low
rates. The pay for such wood delivered |
within one mile of our fact >ry, is only I
el 00 per cord, and our total expense for
fuel, say two and one-half months in the
year, is but one-tenth of one cent per i
pound, when charged to tho manufactures
of those months, while in the North it Is 1
so mt one cent per ; ound on the manufac
tures of at least five months in the year.
•I. W ages are, and roust continue to be, ,
comparatively low. Thu mildness of the |
climate, the abundance of lumber and the j
cheapness of land, enables manufacturers j
to provide their operatives with inexpen- >
sivft but comfortable houses and large gar- j
d'-n plants. The country being an agri
eulturil one, we must soon be able to pro- )
duee our provisions, while the maoufactur- I
irig districts of the North must always de- 1
pend upon the distant West, and, to some ]
extern, upon the South for theirs.
4. Operatives. No.-thorn men, acting
as superintendents of Southern milli, ad
mit the superiority of our factory hands,
who are remark ibly frugal and industrious
and who arc easily controlled.
1 reights arc lower on yarns and
clot ha I ban ori lint cott »u. There has been
a time, within the la-t three years, when a
hale of cotton of 450 pounds, worth, say
SOO.OO, paid a freight, from Charleston to
N'-w York or Philadelphia, of $2.00 per
bale, which would he 277 per cent, on
value; while that cotton, made into a bale
of 4<to pounds of No 20 yarn, worth say
$ 136 00, paid only CO cents per bale, or
14 100 per cent, on value -a difference in
favor of yarns of 2J per cent. The South
-rn manufacturer saves the freight on bag
gin:-. rop • and other watte. This waste
can he manufactured into paper at the
South more cheaply than at the North,and
is, comiequuntly, more valuable here than
there. Reclamation on false packed or
damaged cotton is easy and direct, and we
save the burdensome Northern chargrs for
storage, brokerage, etc
I ,-upport these positions by tho follow
ing statement of actual co-t of manufactur
ing at Saluda Cotton Mills, as shown by our
book It. must bn recollected that we
have employed in the manufacture of No.
2t) yarn only 4,000 spindles, (Jenks’ ring
travellers). Os course, a greater number
of spindle or the production of yarns of
a lower number, would ensure a less cost

The average production ot yarns last
year thr ughout the United States was
per spindle, 62.17 pounds; the average
number of yarn manufactured,,27.3lß; the
total number of spindles was about 6,045, -
249; of these the Northern States had
.’i.. y *45.477; and the Southern States only
; 99,772. The average number of yarn
iuauufaotared at the North was 27j; pro
duetion per spindle, 59 57. The average
number ot yarn manufactured at the South
was 12s; production per spindle, 140 37.
TL se ligiii*,* are based upon the reports
made to the National Association of Cot
ton Manufacturers aud Planter*. It is
probab e that many ol the a Hinder mills in
the South were not reported ®!ly cPeu
latKin is based upon an average pioductiou
per spindle (ring traveller) ot b 7 pounds,
and average No. 20.
To spin 2,500,000 bales would require
11.494 253 spindles. If cap frames were
ustd. of course a less number of spindles
would be required. The calculation will
1 vary, according to the kind t f spinning
: done, and machinery used. 11,494,253
spindles would give employment to 249.-
961 hands— principally females, from ten
years of age up, and- mall boj g.
Ihc average wages of the operatives
(big and little) in our mil! i- $142 82 each
per annum, which would give as the gross
amount paid for wages per annum, $35.-
798,901 82. Acd that, too, paid for labor
that would nearly all of it not only be
otherwise unemployed in adding to the
wealth of the country, but be a positive .
burthen upon the country.
It must not be supposed that, because j
I these figures snow that it would require j
1 about twice the number of spindles now .
run in the North to spin up our entire cot*
! ton crop at home, that the amount of capi- j
ital required would he double that invested ,
| in cotton manufactures in the North, and !
therefore to be beyond our reach : for but j
! a comparatively small amount o. Northern j
j capital is invested in spinning. The most |
lof it is in weaving, dyeing, printing, j
bleaching, &c. Spinning is comparatively 1
simple, and complications commence thens
weaving begins.
It must be evident to every business
roan, that all our eotton must, sooner or
later, be manufactured here, at the place ,
of its production. If done now, by asso
| ciations of planters an 1 other Southern
people, aliitional wealth is secured to our
s-Ives and to our children; if deferred, j
I Northern capital and energy will inev- !
itably occupy the tie! 1.
It seems to me entirely practicable that j
the planters of cotton-growing districts, j
ail over the South, should combine to- !
gethcr, in joint stock associations, and j
| erect cotton mills of sufficient capacity to j
spin up their crops. No doubt, if this j
1 suggestion were acted upon at once, aud 1
! all our cotton made into yarn, and thrown
upon the Northern market, the supply j
would exceed the demand, and loss, at j
tir.-t, would ensue. My proposition is to !
ship direct to the continent of Europe, as ]
well as the North. It would take us but
lit le time to drive other yarns from the |
market. The process of approaching the
spinning of our entire crop would be grad
ual, and would keep pace with the gradual
withdrawal of our competitors.
To show the practicability of this plan,
I submit an estimate for a cotton mill with
4,080 spindles, ring travelling frames :
Number of square feet of flooring, 10,-
200; amount cf’No. 20 yarns manufactured
for spindles. 87 pounds. Toal amount of
No. 20 yarns manufacturedin mill, 354,960
pounds. Cost, of first-class machinery,
with all the latest improvements, viz: One
large cylinder cotton opener (English); one
2-cylinder opener, with 1 beater (English);
1 double lap machine (English); 10 self
stripping, 36 inch cords, with 2 R. W.
heads, troughs ami belts; 2 drawing frames
and cans; 1 English -lubber, 120 spindles
each; 20 ring traveller spinning frame),
204 spindles each; 14 reeles, traversegrind
er, slide reel, card clothing, governor, tur
bine wheel, cotton scales, bundle and bale'
presses, shafting, belting, bobbins, trans
portation, putting up machinery, findings
to commence with, e-c., etc., $43,000;
building, including houses for operatives
(estimated by an experienced contractor),
$7,000; total $50,000. Kueh a mill will
give employment to 87 operatives, and
will consume 887 bales cotton, weighing
150 pounds each. Estimated net profits
on production-, if sold at cost of Northern
production, $17,748. No estimate is made
of the co t of water power, as that would
depend upon location, size and nature of j
ttreaui.
Finally, with great diffidence, but with j
equal earnestness, 1 urge upon the con
vention, and upon the Southern people
generally, careful consideration of the facts
and figures submitted; and close with the
suggestion, that houses of correction for
juvenile delinquents, who abound in our
midst, aud penitentiaries for females be
established, and that the inmates, as well
as those of orphan asylums , be employed
in cotton manufacturing. If they state
that, by the wise forethought of tho pro
jectors of our State Penitoutiary, this was,
t> a limited extent, provided for, and I be
lieve I am correct in saying that, the con
vict i now manufae ure uearlv, if net quite
all, their clothing, bedding, &o.
The following resolution was introduced
by Col. Thomas, and referred to the Com
mittee on Labor :
Resolved, That tho tru> policy of the
South, in relation to the all Important sub
ject of labor, consists in utilizing the labor
that we have and in supplementing it with
foreign white labor as rapidly as possible.
Orchard Brass.
The wart ol time has prevented my
complying earlier with the request to con
tribute to your valuable paper, and these
hasty suggestions must be received with
charity.
The greatost blunder committed in East
ern Vitgina farmers is their neglecting to
raise hay—any hay—many of them. To
save fodder in the usual way, with hired
labor, as a remunerating feed is impossible.
The substitute is easy of access and ready
to hand. Take, for example, an aero of
laud, the coining Spring, that will produce
three or (bur barrels of corn; plow it deep;
manure it with good manure of any kind
(except, guano, so-called, and superphos
phates)—bones will do; then apply twenty
bushels ol ashes scraped from the farm
houses, scatter with a shovel from the cart;
let the land lie thus until you wish to seoa
oats; seed it from three-quarters to one
bushel of oats (this quantity will shade the
grass and not crowd), putting them in
nicely; then seed on the fresh surface one
bushel of orchard grass, and one gallon of
clover seed; passover the surface with a
light harrow or brush, and roll it with a
roller or log of wood, and let it alone. If
you can afford it, let the oats fall as an
improver to both land and grass. After
the oats are harvested, see that nothing
grazes it (neither calf nor pig; young grass
is as easily injured as youug corn) until
after the crop oihay has been saved.
The Result: The next Spring or early
Summer, as soon as the orchard grass is in
blossom (not brown or seeded), the clover
will be ready also ; cut all for bay, and
then iced or put it away to use in place of
fodder. You may safely expect 2,000 to
3,000 pounds of hay, worth at least $ 20.
Suffer nothing to graze it until Ist Decem
ber ; then let your dairy cow run on it li
hours each day in open weather until the
! 15th March. This acre will supply one
cow with food, and a family with milk,
j during tho Winter months, if nit longer.
’ It will supply the horses with more hay
I and grass in Fall, Winter, Spring atid
Summer, than any other grass yet intro
j duccd into V irginia. It is the only grass
! that grows with us all the year round, ex
i eept ouly when the ground is frozen. It is
not an exhauster to land as in Timothy,
j It will grow on any dry land, not excepting
\ a sand bank. And here, permit me to
; suggest that tho best grasses love a dry
| sotl. We usually seek the bottoms and
' moist places to grow Timothy. Why ?
| Because the grass is not well suited to our
soil or climate. . Nor are we the losers
thereby, so long as Orchard Grass and
| Clover are accessible. The Orchard
| Grass will stand tho invasions of broom
straw, if you will practice a little patience,
ar.d not suffer it t) be grazed until it has
formed a sod. Then vou can’t hurt it except
! with hogs, or the plow. If any farmers
! are usually scarce of fodder about Ist
June, or even a little sooner, let them try
au acre lot, it will be just in l ime for your
wants. If you want a lot, always green,
for an idle horse to run in, this will supply
it, or greeu grass, in Winter Tor your dairy
cow, this is the only grass that will fur
uisb it. Try it on a sand bank, it you can’ t
dobeu.:f And if not next Spring, try it
next Fall with wheat, only three
quarters of a bushei i,t seed iu Fall, and
the rest, one-quarter, in Sprlsg, followed
by a roller. —John Washington, , n
Southern Planter and farmer.

The Kailhoad War.— lnformer arti
cles on this subject we expressed the belief
that as soon as the City Council passed
the ordinance al.owing the Columbia &
Augusta Railroad Company to construct a
! bridge across the Savannah and enter the
! city that the litigation between that cor
p- ration and the South Carolina Railroad
I Company would commence afresh, and the
! United States Court would be thesceoe of
warfare. That this opinion was correct was
i demonstrated oo Wednesday last by a no
! tice being seived on Mayor Russell, by
j Messrs. Gould and Hud, the plaintiff’s
l attorneys, that on the third of next month
lan apt lieation would be made to Judge
Er.ikine, in the United States Court at
Savannah, for an injunction restraining the
city from allowing the Columbia Road to
enter the corporate limits of Augusta.
Georgia Railroad. The Atlanta
Constitution says that this road is now in
a most prosperous condition. The report
to the stockholders in May will show an
increase in receipts of over $100,(XX) above
the receipts of last year. The road is out
of debt, an and in good order.
Read It. vVe find the following very
complimentary notice of one of our leading
dry goods houses in the Edgefield, (S. C.,)
Adcei User .
THE MULLAKKYS OF AUGUSTA.
Old favorities in Edgefield ! Courteous
gentlemen, high aud honorable Merchants.
We hope no one will overlook their new
advertisement. The establishment of the
Mullarky Bros, is one of tfie grandest in
Augusta, But all we could write in a
year about it would not convey the idea so
well as a visit in person. All Edgefield
ladies who visit Augusta this Spring, must
goto “Mullarky Bros.” by all means —
and buy all their husbands’ and papas’
means.
Are we coming to Imperialism?—
The New York Round Table discusses
the question—“ Are we drifting into Im
perialism ?”—in this strain:
“In plain sooth, the age of sensuality,
of unchecked correction, of dense, gross ig
norance is comiDg down on us like night.
A free press shoul 1 have given more notes
of warning than it has; but the press dis
iikes, in a free country, to print unpalat
able truth, even when it discerns such
truth, and the journals that profess ‘fear
less devotion to principle’ are notoriously
the ones whose articles betray the most la
borious solicitude to catch the applause
and flatter the prejudice of the greatest
number. Meanwhile, at what are called
our‘great centres,’ coarse brutes, who
ought to bo digging railways or drawing
hand carts, lay down the law for the whole
community, and by dint of vast wealth,
amassed under circumstances impossible in
any other civilized country, degrade the
social tone acd spread in every direction
an unbridled rage for pleasures of
the senses. Intellectual elevation or am
bition is scoffed at, and those who strive to
dictate a taste for better things are either
hated or despised. Nothing is thought of
but the delights of the table,of fineclothes,
of showy dwellings and equipages—in a
word, of physical raptures of every de
scription. If there is at present anything
else—whether in the pulgit, in the theatre,
or in literature—-the pill must be gilded so
as to appear “sensational.” All this is so
widely admitted, so shamefully notorious,
that its recital is trite enough; we repeat it
merely in elucidation of the subject under
discussion. It is impossible, when people
think all things of their bodies and noth
ing of their minds, that either a Demo
cratic or any other pure form of govern
ment cau long be maintained. Unless a
great change comes over American people,
it will uot be maintained by themselves.
They are rushing toward the precipice at
railway speed, and the universal corrup
tion that good men deplore, is the prelude
of a decomposition which is as certain as
fate.”
Early Cotton. -Says the Greemboro
(Ga .) Herald: We had placed upon our
table on the 24th ult., a stalk of cotton
which measured nine inches above the
roots. This cotton is from the farm of
Phillip Poullain, Esq., and cultivated up
on the eup principle- Whatever may be
said for or against this system of culture,
this is by far ahead of anything we have
ever seen at this season of the year.
What Manufacturing Does— Canton,
Ohio, is where al! the patent reapers and
mowers aie made. When the inventor
went there a few years ago, it was the dull
est and least progressive tjwn ia the State,
and was retrograding in wealth and popu
lation. He asked the citizens for SIO,OOO
for a start, and received that sum as a loan.
Results ofthe investment -alarge reaping
and mowing manufactory ; two large agri
cultural implement and plow manufac
tories, exclusively, one of stoves and
hollow ware, one of reaper and mower
knives, and one of saddlery hardware, two
of horse rakes, one of farm wagons, one of
cultivators, one of wrought iron bridges,one
of Soap and caudles, and others more or
less extensive. The tiwn ha3 tripled in
population and quadrupled in wealth, and
this helps the farming interest in the
neighborhood.
Paper Sole— No Soul.— A noble white
shoe dealer in New Orleans ha3 been fined
for selling a pair ot shoes with paper soles
to a negro. He complains indignantly of
Radical tyranny. —New York Tribune.
Will the Tribune negropholist . tell us
j what should be done with the white Radi
cal of Lynn,Massachusetts, who made the
i paper soled shoes for the New Orleans
| shoe dealer ! Would the saintly negro
loving shoemaker complain “indignantly
of Radical tyranny” if he were “fined”for
selling the paper soles to the Southern
white dealers ?
Can Greeley point us to a single instance
in which a Southern man has been detect
ed in making “Wooden Hams,” “Shoe peg
oats” or paper soled shoes. All these
inventions come from the land of steady
habits and trick thieving.
Married.—Mrs. Stover, daughter of
ex-President Johnson, was married last
week to Mr. William Brown, of Greenville,
Tennessee. Mrs. S. was at the White
House during her father’s administration,
and assisted in doing the h mors ou State
occasions.
Resignation of Sub-Officials.—
Messrs. A. S. iiill and B. F. Hall tendered
their icsignations as officers of the Revenue
Department of this District, to Assessor
Bowles. Reasons: Didn’t like Grant’s
method ol making an obnoxious law odor
ous. Their resignations were duly accept
ed and the connection of these gentlemen
with the Revenue service ceased. Asses
sor Bowles turns over his office to his suc
cessor, Belcher (loyally colored), to-day.
Rumor says that J. Davis, C. McCalla,
Gregory and Corey are to be the new bot
tom rails.
Tuts Nbw Okleans Filibustering j
Expedition.—A New Orleans corre- :
spondent gives some account of the Cuban
filibustering expedition now being organ
ized in that city. General Steedman,
Sccor Diaz, General Hays, and Colonel
Nixon leaders of the force, which
numbers over a u men. camping
on different plantations in the neighbor
hood of the city, j’he chiefs have further
purchased two thousand riffes and two full ;
batteries of artillery, and also hired a very ;
:o;t steamer, & former blockade-runner, to
take ttre*. ho the northern coast of Cuba.
This steamer has reported since to
have left for Cuba. They hops t? be able
to baffle by their steamer every pursuit, 1
though, la caie of need, they are firmly
resolved to give battle to any Spanish
man-of war which they may encounter.
There is plenty money among the filibust
ers; the rich planters arrived from Cuba,
and the Mexican Consul, Senor Diaz, have
provided ample funds for carrying out the
expedition, General Steedman having
also contributed $5,000. Senor Diaa, in
the negotiations with the Cubans, serves
as interpreter and negotiator, while Steed
man occupies himself with the organisa
tion of the oorps only, which will consist of
t wo divisions, oommanded by Genera! flays
and Cqictp;! Nixon. A splendid Cuban
flag, made of silk by the wife of Senor
Dial, was presented to the officers of Itfce
cirps in Senor Diax s house. Thai the
enterprise will meet with difficulties in
leaving New Orleans is hardly to be be
lieved. the custom house officials all being
in favor of the Cuban cause. Moreover,
the corps is made up of men who have
-canted battle-fields, and who are not io
| tiundated by Spanish troops or Spanish
i surveillance.
j Greeley Goes Back on Grant.—He
says : “We are afraid that the PresidoiU,
like Presidents before him, has bestowed
I most of his offices as he would give his
: alms—the beggar who bawled the loudest,
I or showed the greatest number of ‘papers,’
I generally being the most successful.”
In fact, a good many of the Massachu
setts Abolitionists would like to abolish
pretty nearly everything, from Christianity
downward.— N. J - Tribune.
A few years ago the Tribune would not
have made the above acknowledgment.
But it has always known the fact to be as
it now states it. It may be that the Radi
cal house is not so firmly ejtablished on a
rock as the Tribune thinks ; and these
damaging confessions may still be prema
ture as a matter of Radical party policy.
The Cincinnati Commercial, Radical, is
guilty of this remark concerning the “great
captain" who occupies the White House:
“It would be a wholesome thing were |
our President advised by a confidential \
friend that it is not necessary to provide j
offices far all the little brothers of the i
Grant connection. That is to say, he will i
be acquitted of the charge of infidelity, if |
he should not put in practice of taking all, j
as he said the Confederates did, ‘from the
cradle to the grave.’ ”
Cuban Affairs.— A Washington dis
patch says the Government is in possession
of information tj the effect that the cause
of the insurgents in Cuba is not at ali flat
tering. It appears that their agents here
and in New York have admitted that
unless they obtain recognition or material
aid from our Government, they will be
unable to hold out beyond sixty days. It
is understood that the Administration is
not disposed to interfere with affairs in the
Island beyond the protection of American
citizens and their interests The English
and French Ministers fully understand the
condition of affairs in Cuba and the atti
tude of our Government, and have advised
their respective governments accordingly.
Destruction of Rice by Fire.— The
Savannah Advertiser , of Wednesday, says:
“We learn that the barn of Mr. J. S.
Bryan, on Broughton Island, at the mouth
of the Altamaha river, with the entire
contents of the same, some thirty-five
hundred bushels of rice, was destroyed by
fire on Saturday evening last. The work
is supposed to be that of an incendiary.”
Mobile taken by Storm.- -One hun
dred and twenty editors, from the Iloosier
State, accompanied by an escort of over
two hundred, many of whom were fair
Iliinoisians, are now on a visit to Mobile.
If the Mobilians serve them in the same
style as was administered to our confrere
Randall, of the Constitutionalist, and our
own associate,at the late i ress Convention,
these Iloosiers and Hoosierennes will
scarcely be able to find their way home
again.
The Sacred Animal.—We have got to
come to it. Why not come at once and be
done with it ? Until we own that the ne
gro is a god and treat him as such, there
will be no peace in this country. The
sooner we do it the better. Let us, there
fore, make haste to build each of them a
siiaall joss house of gopher wood, put him
on a pedestal therein, and worship him
daily with ineonsc of tobicco, heave offer
ings of roast shoat, wave offerings of corn
whiskey, and burnt offerings of barbe tried
coon aud possom. Then,and not till then,
this distracted land will repose. —Native
Virginian.
Woman’s Rights in England. —The
new bill for the protection of married wo
men’s property, just introduced in the
British Parliament, provides that a mar
ried woman shall be as capable of holding
and dealing with real and personal estate,
and suing and being sued, as if she ; was a
single woman. Every woman who marries
after the passing of the aet may hold all
property, real or personal, possessed or ac
quired before or after marriago, from tho
control of her husband, and her earnings
in any separate trade or occupation will
be regarded as her personal property. On
the other haud husbands are not to be
liable for the debts of their wives, either
before or after marriage, nor liable in dam
ages for any wrong committed by them.
Upon the death of a wife intestate, the
husband will take only the same share in
her personal estate as a wife now takes in
tho personal estate of an intestate hus
band.
Proposed Re-Union of the Eighth
Georgia Regiment.— lt has been pro
posed that the survivors of the “old
eighth Georgia” regiment have a social
re-union on the 21st of next July, at some
cent.al locality. What say the Atlanta
Grays, the Macon Guards, the Oglethorpe
Light Infantry and the other companies ?
The companies from Floyd are in favor of
it. —Rome Courier.
A Tribute—Carlton Hillyer.— En
ergy and preserveranee are, after all, the
quali ies which win success. There is not
a more notable illustration of this fact than
the subjec ol this paragraph. He is now
recognized as one ol the most promising
young men in the State. Not since the
days of Gen. R. 11. Cobb has Athens
produced one of whom she may be more
justly proud- It is not prestige, or family
name, or even talent, which insure success.
It is a man’s untiring energy. Mr. Hill
yer graduated at the State University in
1866 with the first honor. It is said that
an effort was made in the Board of Trus
tees to place him in the Faculty upon the
day of his graduation, whiola was objected
to on account of his youth. During his
college life, especially in his Senior year,
he was noted for his adherence to the rules
cl college and his high moral influence
with the other students. Immediately al
ter graduation ho entered upon the duties
of a teacher, and for three years has occu
pied the foremost rank in his profession.
During that time over a hundred students
have passed under his tuition. With tal
eDt- and energy both at his command, he is
destined to reach eminence in a profession
which is already second to none in the
State. —Athens Banner.
Not; Gone to “Californa.” —Mr.
\V. J. Farr, the world renowned ’Lamp
Man’ (and, of late, “Variety Man,”) has
divided his extensive stock, and establish
ed a branch s ore, at 346 Broad stree',
first building below the Kentucky Stables,
and will be happy to sec his up town and
country friends of yore ; and as many new
ones as may favor him with their presence.
He cannot be at both stores at once, but
his polite and attentive clerks will do just
as well by his customers, as he sells strict
ly at one price ; and prides himself on giv
ing lich and poor, adults or children, the
same value for their money. And, if from
any cause anything is misrepresented, he
will refund the money or make restitu
tions. He is a hard worker, and knows
his busiuess, g.nd is determined that no
man can under sell him unless he does a
“Jockey" trade.
One price for all is “his Forte,” and all
would dj well to call on him, and if he
cannot supply the wants, he will cheer

article at lowest prices.

It U said that the proprietors of the

I The Row Among State Officials.—
‘ The Macon Journal & Messenger a few
days since asked for the “particulars of
that little ’‘mill’ which took place in At
lanta on last Monday between the Treasury
1 and Executive Departments ’ As the
.Atlanta papers have, with their-usual
' want of enterprise, failed to give any ac
-1 count of the matter, we give the partieu
i lars ourselves, as we learned them yester- j
i day from the best authority. On Monday j
morning last Mr. N. L. Angier, a clerk in \
i the office of his father, the Stite Treasur- i
| er, went into the office of Mr. B. B. De
j Graffenreid, Secretary of the Executive
j Department, and asked the latter to show
him a certain State paper. Mr. DoGraf- i
fenreid replied that he did not have the!
document in question in his possession at j
that tim . Mr. Angier, apparently be
lieving that the Secretary did not wish to (
show it to him, remarked that he did have
it. At this the Secretary of the Executive
Department got his official back up, and
pronounced the clerk in the Treasury De
partment a damned liar. On hearing this j
Mr. Angier dropped the argumentum ad
judicium, and resorted to the argumentum •
ad bacculinum proceeded a verbis ad
I verbera, in other words, went in on his
muscle and put in a feeler on the Secre
■ tary’s physiognomy which drew the claret.
■ Seeing the fall of their chief, two or
three darks in the room rallied to his as
sistance, but ye valiants clerke threatened
to shoot, and they prudently decided to
preserve their neutrality in the struggle.
Recovering from the effects of this knock
down argument in some degree, Mr. De-
Graffenreid seized a heavy pair of Bank
shears, and made for his antagonist, appa
rently determined to eviscerate him in the
most approved styl \ Armed with this
destructive weapon of warfare, he threw
himself ou the Treasury uiau, and the j
shock was t.Trifle. But his valor was in vain.
! After a few seconds of this deadly strug
gle, in which he managed to slightly wound j
Mr. Angier in the hand, the latter was
again getting the advantage, whan, in |
time to prevent the promotion of Eugene j
Davis to the Secretary’s position, the At
lanta police appeared upon the scene !
and prevented further hostilities.
The next morning the two combatants
1 were brought before the Mayor, but both
dismissed without any punishment being
inflicted. It is said that Mr. DeGraffen
reid wijl attempt to have an indictment
found by the Grand Jury of Fulton county
against Mr. Angier for an assault and
battery. These particulars are given as
we learned them, and we think that (hey j
will be found correct.
Southern Cultivator. -The May No.
of the Southern Cultivator has been re
ceived. This old Southern Journal (now
in its 27th year), is strictly a Southern
enterprise. Is printed on paper made with
in a few miles ofits office, and owned and
edited by gentlemen b»rn and reared in
the South, and long engaged in planting.
It will be found by any one who will take
the trouble to examine a copy of the Cul
tivator, that the larger part of its contents
is made up of communications from ex
perienced farmers living all over the Gull
States. This we regard as an extremely
valuable feature-giving, as it does, a pe
culiarly practical cast to this magazine.
Specimen copy sent on application. Pub
lished at Athens, Ga., by Win. & W. L

Northern Immigration.— lt is truly
gratifying to note toe number of Northern
men —not political adventurers who come
to the South for the purpose of creating
dissensions between the white and bla6k
races, but enterprising, hardworking im
migrants, who come to improve the coun
try—that are casting their lots amongst us.
Iu addition to the foreign immigrant-' and
the men of the Middle States who have
settled in this State since the surrender,
we are now to have a contribution direct
from New England itself- Not many days
since we received a visit' from two well
informed gentlemen, natives of the Scats
ol Connecticut and men of means, who had
come to Georgia recently on a prospecting
expedition. They informed us that seeing
an advertisement in the Chronicle &
Sentinel of a large plantation for sale in
Burke county, they had visited the place
and, being pleased with it, had purchased
the whole property. The plantation was
the property of Geo. W. Lamar, of Sa
vannah, and the price paid for it was five
thousand dollars. It is situated on Buck
head Creek, ia Burke county, and contains
fourteen hundred acres of land, of
which nine hundred are under
cultivation. The purchasers have de
termined to divide the whole prop
erty into small tracts of forty or fifty acres
each, which they will farm out to Con
necticut immigrants whom they will bring
to this State as soon as possible. The
gentlemen have already returned to their
Now England home, and we may expect
them to arrive here in a few days with
fifteen or twenty thrifty farmers from the
“Nutmeg State.”
Our Water-Power.—We learn from
friends oi the parties that two' or three
large manufacturers of Philadelphia pro
pose visidug our city during the ensuing
week for the purpose of “taking a look”
at our canal and the water-power afforded
by the Falls of the Savannah. Boston,
Providence and New York have been tak
ing private “looks,” and now the city of
Brotherly love has been roused from the
solitude of its own magnificence. There
is in our own community nothing of the'
spirit of the fabled Dog iu the Manger.
We say, therefore, came on g:ntlemeo.
There is power enough for all, never-fail
ing. Take in the whole river, whose
volume is that of a stream more than a
quarter of a mile wide, having a fall that
can be made available of thirty feet and
over, and our climate is salubrious, and
every condition for manufacturing cotton
fabrics favorable—the raw material (cot
ton) at our doors.
It occurs to us, in this connection, to ask
why our City Council does not provide the
public with all necessary information re
specting the water power of the canal, as,
well as that which may be obtained by
using the whole river. Time and agaiQ
information has been sought from
us about these matters, with the request
to furnish such printed statistics, maps
and description at command. We have be
fore us a letter from the editor of the Wall
Street Journal, requesting just this in
formation, and we are compelled to answer,
we have nothing official. A Committee
of the County Agricultural Club took the
matter of a map ofthe water power of the
county in hand. What has become of it?
Now is the time for all parties to move.
Let us show what wp have, and our
facilities.
Resignations of Assistant Asses
sors of Internal Revenue for the
Third District.—ln the Chronicle &
Sentinel of yesterday morniDg there was
published an account of the resignation of
Messrs. A. S. Hill andß. F. Hall of their
positions as Assistant Assessors of Inter
nal Revenue for the Third Dist riet of Geor
gia. It was understood thai the motive
which prompted these gentiimen to tender
their resignations, was an aversion to serv
ing under the negro, Elwin Belcher, whom
President Grant nominated and Congress
recently confirmed as Assessor for this dis
trict vice Cop Jno. Bowles, who has held
the position since a short time after the
surrender of the Confederate armies. On
yesterday we discovered that besides the
two above mentioned, five other Assistant
Assessors had also rendered their resigna

IJ3Y TELEGRAPH.
TO THE ASSOCIATED PRESS.
Sumner’s Speech in England.
London, May 1, p. m.—Sumner’s speech
creates immense excitement in political
circles here. At a cabinet meeting the
subject was informally discussed. Bright
declare;! the embarrassment, which its
publication produced served England very
properly, but he agreed not to consent to»
I entertain the terms of settlement fore
l shadowed by Sumner.
' Lord Clarendon expressed his belief
! that active negotiations ou the subject in
progress between the two countries were of
a far less extreme character than tbe
speeches of American Senators or articles
in the press. The present administration
was eager for a lasting continuance of
I friendly relations with the United States.
Gladstone professed to have good assur
ances from reliable quarters that the re
cent rejection of the Alabama, treaty by :
the American Senate was a purely political j
movement. The present administration
will endeavor to settle the Alabama ques- !
tion on liberal and honorable terms.
The outside tono of the English people is i
anti-American and more so in eonse- j
quenee of having road only a part of the
publication of Sumner’s argument.
the London Star asserts that Sumner’s
demands are new and startling aud must j
be regarded merely as enormous, and if [
only the shadow of instructions are given !
Motley, that gentleman will stand in a ,
very different position from that occupied
by Johnson. Motley’s rejection as Ameri
can Minister to St. James is threatened in
case his instructions nearly coincide with
the expressions of Sumner; such demands i
are utterly intolerable and Her majesty’s !
ministers must be careful in entertaining j
them.
Tbe London Times breathes forth the -
spirit of war in defence of the Treasury,
claiming that Sumner’s money estimate of
damages is portentous and enormous, add
ing that although his address is worthy of
attention and consideration, it must work
no contrition or humiliation should either
be expressed or endured by England,forif
the votes were to be taken'the case would
be prejudiced against her, and any project
of an equitable settlement would be de
feated.
The Standard, a Tory organ, exhibits a
spirit of defiance toward American people
and will resist to the last any capitulation
by England.
This position is combatted by tho Liver
pool Post, which says that England cannot
afford a quarrel, large or small, with
America.
From Europe.
Paris, May 1, p. in.—Portocal for a con
ference between France and Belgium
has been signed.
Madrid, May 1, p. m.—ln the Cortes
an amendment abolishing the preroga
tives of the Crown in ecclesiastical mat
ters was rejected. Limitations for the spir

The Colombia Legislature passed a reso
lution impeaching the President and four of
his ministers.

Dent has intimated to General Lee that
Grant desires a visit from him.

Tharper and Ficklin, mail contractors
over the Southern Pacific mail route,
have entered into a contract to transport
two million bullion annually from Ohi
hualma to New York; tho bullion from
that section lias hitherto been sent to San
Francisco and thenoe to England.
The debt statement shows a total prin
cipal and interest 0f52,635,032,888; amount
in-the Treasury, coin $92,031,782 96; certifi

less cash in the Treasury $2,518,797,391;
decrease during the month $6,399,070 ;
$30,000,000 coin distributed for interest; a
larger proportion for England.
The Express says the English Minister
denies that Great Kritain has had under
consideration tho question of Cuban in
surrection and declares preposterous the
report that it was ever designed to recog
nize the insurgents, and says the govern
ment had not oven been informed of the
existence of a provisional government on
the island. He represents the relations of
Spain with Her Majesty’s j government
highly- friendly and regards; the report
hereby contradicted as intended to embit
ter relations between the United States and
Great Britain.
Tho interview between General Lee and
the President this morning was marked
by great courtesy. When General Leo was
ushered into the Executive office Minister
Motley was present; (he latter, however,
after a moment retired, thinking perhaps
the interview between G rant and Lee had.
reference to National matters. It did not,
however, being confined to ;inere formal
greetings between the two. General Lee
is stopping in Georgetown, and keeps en
tirely aloof from public observation. His
visit to tpe White House this morning was
the occasion of great interest. No other
interviews were had y/itli the President
by any one after Lee retired.
From Philadelphia.
Philadelphia, May 1, noon.—The Cu
ban meeting last night was an immense
success—all political parties participated.
A permanent committee of thirteen was
appointed to consult and act with tho Ca
ban Junta. The resolutions are very
strong, urge rec ignition and an extra ses
sion of Congress.
Prom UichuioiHl,
Richmond, May 1, p. m. — The Southern
Opinion announces its last publication this
morning. The Editor says that he has,
for some time thought that, perhaps the
mission ofthe Southern Opinion had been
fulfilled, and adds: “That the distinct
Southern principles upon which the paper
was founded arc dead -in the hearts of the
people, is another fact which we cannot
but recognize. No cause, however just
and good, can long outlive defeat.”
