By order of the Committee. A. H. COLQUITT, President. David W. Lewis, Secretary. A Texan and Illinois farmer were speaking of raising corn, etc., and the Illinois man was boasting of the superior yield of prairie land, and telling large stories, as all Western men can do, to which the Texan replied : “I tell you what, stranger, they make large corn in your clearing, but it ain’t a circumstance to what we raise on the Colorado bottoms. Why, the corn there averages thirty feet in height with twelve ears to a stalk, and a gourd full of shelled com at the topi” Doable Meanings. The English language is peculiarly abundant in words and phrases which are capable of two meanings, and which thus give rise to an endless number of mistakes, catches, and puzzles, which afford a great deal of tbe amusement of everyday life. A familiar example is the word got, which may mean either was or procured. Thus, one boy says to another, with a grave face : ‘ Fred got shot to-day." “Where ?" asks the other, in alarm. “He got shot in a hard ware store,” is the answer—meaning, of course, that he bought it. A man assured a store-keeper who hesitated to trust his companion for a purchase ; ‘lf he refuses to pay for it, I will.’’ His companion refused to pay fjr it, and so did the speaker ; as in one sense he had said he would. It is thus very easy, by usir g uncertain lauguage, to convey a false impression. A sheriff asked the wife of a Quaker, against whom he bad a writ, if her hus band was at home. She replied : “Yes, be will see thee in a moment.’’ The sheriff waited ; but the Quaker did not appear. He was contented with seeing the sheriff; he did not care that the sheriff should see him. The position of words in a sentence, and the use of stops, often entirely alter the meaning. Thus, an account of a funeral declares ; “The remains were committed to that bourne from which no traveler returns attended by his friends.” Ignorant people are very apt to use phrases with double meanings without intending to do so. Among the adver tisements we may sometimes read that a respectable young woman wants wash ing ; the proprietor of a bone mill ad vertises that parties sending their own ! hones to be ground will be attended to with fidelity and dispatch. It was once related in a city paper how, during the celebration, a child was run over, wear ! ing a short red dress which never spoke afterward. Many popular puzzles depend on the ambiguity or double meaning of words and phrases. Thus, we are told there was a man who had six children, and had never seen one of them. We are led to suppose that none of the children had over been beheld by their parent.— Hot the words may meau equally as well that one of them had been born while tbe man was on a journey, and he had, consequently, never seen that one. An other puzzle is thus : There was a poor blind begger who had a brother, the brother died, but the man who died had no brother. What relation was the begger to the man who died i We are apt to think the begger a man ; but when we think that the begger might be a girl, the answer becomes quite plain. We are told of two men who met each other at an in*, and greeted each other affectionately. The hotel-keeper in quired of one bow he was related to the other, who replied ; “Brother and sister have 1 noDe, Yet this man’s father was my father’s sou.” This is a perfectly plain statement, and jet there are few whose minds are clear enough to see at once that this jingle of words is only a round-about way of saying that this man was the speaker’s son. A Marriage Ceremony. A jolly fellow, somewhere in Illinois, having been appointed justice of the peace, was called upon to perform a marriage ceremony, and thus relates how he man aged it : “Having been appointed to the desirable ‘posish’ of justice of the peace, I was ao costed on the sth day of July by a sleek looking young man, and in silvery tones requested to proceed to a neighboring | hotel, as he wished to enter into the holy hands of matrimony. Here was a ‘squelcher.’ I had never done anything of the kind, had no books or forms ; yet I was determined to do the thing up streng, aod in a legal manner, so I pro ceeded to a hotel, bearing in my arms one copy of the ltevised Statutes, one ditto Webster’s Unabridged Dictionary, one copy large sized Bible, a small copy of the creed and articles of Faith ol the Congregational Church, one copy of Pope’s Essay on Man, and a sectional map of the part where the victim lived. Having placed a table in the middle of the room and seated myself behind it, I, in trumpet tones, called the case. With that the young man and woman, with great alacrity, stepped up before me. Having sworn them on the dictionary to answer well and truly all the questions I was about to ask, I proceeded. I told the young man that, being an entire stranger, I should have to ask him to give bail for tho cost. Having heard this so frequent ly in court, I thought it indispensable. He answered if I meant the fee for per forming the ceremony, he would deposit it then and there. As I did not exactly know what I did mean, I magnanimously waived that portion of the ceremony. I told him it would be necessary to give bail to keep the peace. This he said he was willing to when he arrived at home, and I then waived that point also. “Having established to ray satisfac tion that they wanted to get married, and that they were old enough to enter into that state, I proceeded to tie the knot. I asked him if he was willing to take that woman to be his wife. He said he was I told him I did not require haste in the answer—that he might reflect a few minutes if he wished. I told him she looked like a fine girl, and 1 had no doubt she was, bnt if the sequel proved he had been taken in, I did not want to be held responsible. I said he must love, honor and obey her as long as she lived. He must not be ‘snappy’ around the house, nor spit tobac co juice on the floor, all of which he promised faithfully to heed. ‘Now,’ said I, ’Georgians,’ (her name was Goorgiana) ‘you here what Humphrey says. Do you accept the invitation to become his wife—will you be lenient to wards his faults and cherish his virtues —will you never be guilty of throwing furniture at his head for slight offenses, anu will j’ou get three meals a day with out grumbling ?’ She said she would. I asked them if they believed in the commandments and they answered they did. Having read the creed and ar ticles of faith, as aforesaid, I exclaim ed: ‘Humphrey, take her, she is yours ; I cannct withhold my consent. Geor gians, when safe in the arms of your Humphrey you can defy the scoffs and jeers of the world.’ I then read a little from the ‘Essay on Man,’ including that passage, ‘Man wants bat little here be low, but wants that little long.’ Asa finale to the scene, I delivered the fol lowing exordium : ‘Go in peace, sin no more.’ Tbe generous Humphrey having placed a fifty cent check in my unwilling palm, I bid the happy pair » final adieu.” Will Corn Pay in the South ’— In an article lat-ly published in >he Mobile Register the figures show that the production of corn in the South pays better than it does in the North. True, our yield per acre is not so targe, yet the greater value of the product over balances all short comings on that score. The report of the Commissioner of Agriculture, for 1569, shows that the average yield of corn per acres in Alabama that year was fifteen biphels and the average price at which it was sold was $1 14 per bushel. In Iliiaoa, the great corn State of the Inion, the average ytaid to the acre was twenty three bushels, and the average price per bushel 57 cents. This shows that Alabama made per acre sl7 10 and Illinois sl3 11 ; leaving a balance of ♦3 99 in favor of Alabama. The small yield in the South is attributed a good deal to neglect and bad culture. Corn is secondary always to cotton. The more corn we raise and consume the more money the South will get, for less ground in cotton will have a tenden cy to bring up its price. As things are now managed, the Southern farmers are forced to eat and feed away, as it were, a portion (all the present season, except for those who raised corn sufficient for their purposes) of their cotton crop ; but not until after it has been thrown upon the market to contribute its quota towards depressing the price of the remainder. Do right, though yon have enemies. You can not escape them by doing wrong, and it is little gain to barter away your honor and integrity, and divest yourself of moral courage, to gain what ? Nothing. Better abide by the truth—frown down all opposition, and rejoice in the feeling which must inspire a free and independ ent man. Interesting Cotton Case—Selling by sample. An interesting case has just termina ted in the Circuit Court of Rutherford county. It was a suit brought by Jones, Collier aud Hill against Warren, j administrator, and Lillard, and the principal point in issue was, what con stitutes a sale of cotton by sample. The Murfreesboro Monitor says : The proof in the case was that plain tiff, N. C. Collier, sampled the bales in presence of defendant, Dr. Lillard, and agreed to pay 18 cents per pound for the cotton. It afterwards appeared, on examination of the cotton by samplers, that the interior of the bales were rotten and almost worthless, and suit was brought by plaintiffs to recover the purchase money. His Honor Judge Williamson charged the jury, in effect, “that in all sales by sample there is j implied warranty that the bulk of the | article corresponds with sample. But to have that effect the sample must be offered by the vendor, as a specimen of the quality and cond’tion of the entire quantity of the article sold. If tbe plaintiff’selected the sample himself, by drawing them from the bales, that would not be such a sale by sample as to imply a warranty of soundness. In order to make a sale by sample amount to a warranty, the facts must satisfy the jury that the samples were either selected by defendant or adopted by him and exhibited as a true specimen of the bulk of the cotton in the bales. If the defendant was present at the time of selection of the samples by the plaintiff, he would not be held to warrant the quality or condition of the article, unless he made some representation in reference to the samples selected which amounted to an adoption of them as his own, and receiving the amount ot purchase money offered would not be an adoption of the sample selected by the plaintiff.” The counsel for plaintiff insisted, from New York decisions “that every sale of of packed cotton must, be considered in the nature of sale by sample, for from the very nature of the article, and the form in which it is sent to market, no effectual examination can be made with out breaking up the bales. Although the plaintiff in this case saw the bags and drew samples from them, he bad no opportunity of examining the bulk of the commodity ; he was compelled still to rely upon the samples. It was therefore r sale by sample, and the evidence clearly shows that the bulk of the cotton was of a very inferior quality to the samples exhibited.” The case was decided in favor of the defendants, and the Monitor understands that an appeal will be taken to the Supreme Court. General Hems. A boy of six years shot and killed another aged four, in Memphis last week, in play. The Toronto Leader says that the tariff reductions and remissions just made will reduce Canadian revenues $900,000. The Baptist Union of Cleveland, Ohio, has adopted a resolution “ disowning all approval of and therefore all complicity with” the acceptance of State aid by the Ladies’ Baptist Home of New York. The Attorney-General of Canada asks the formation of seven additional troops of mounted riflemen for frontier service, the present force being 1,665 cavalry or mounted infantry to about 40,000 active militia. The Kentucky Register says that a colored man residing near Kirkville, Madison county, was taken from his house oh the night of the 22d ult., by a gang of ruffians, who beat him unmerci fully, telling him that they did so because he had voted a Democratic ticket. The Toronto Leader says that the suc cess of tbe government resolutions relating to British Columbia produces “a reason able certainty that by the Ist July next the Pacific colony will form part of the Dominion and that ere ten years have elapsed it will not be the sole boast of the United States that their territory is alone spanned by an interoceanic rail way.” The New Almaden Quicksilver Mining Company report their production for the yoar 1870 at 14,423 flasks, each of lbs, which were delivered to D. O. Mills, under contract, for $452,060. The ex penditures were $426,575. The present contract with D. O. Mills calls for tbe delivery ol the product of the mine up to April, 1872, at s3l per flask. A dispatch from Ottawa, Canada, to the Toronto Globe says : Several gentle men representing American insurance offices doing business in Canada arrived to-day from Montreal and had an inter view with Sir Francis Hincks respecting the Insurance bill introduced by him. It is understood that he has consented to an amendment of tho bill, but not to the extent desired by the delegation. The Rhode Island Board of Cattle Commissioners have promulgated the annexed order : That after Saturday, April 15, 1871, no neat cattle shall be permitted to come into this State from the cattle yards at West Albany, New York, until the Board of Cattle Commissioners shall receive satisfactory evidence that those cattle yards, and the cars in which cattle are brought from them, have been effect ually cleansed and disinfected. The California “Academy of Sciences.” at a recent meeting, listened to a state ment by Mr. Brooks, who said he had some of the sand at Black Point, and made an assay of it, but the “gold” proved to be brass. The assayer, Ilenry G. Hanks, said he had made a careful examination of the ground. On the top of the bluff, for several hundred feet, it showed a dark color, and upon examina tion it proved to be blcok magnetic sand. He washed sand from several parts of the ground and obtained particles of the supposed gold pretty evenly dis tributed. When examined under the microscope the substance appeared like trimmings and filings. When examined chemically it proved 'o be brass, as did the sample furnisheu by Mr. Brooks. His theory is that there has been a machine shop on the ground, or that the brass fillings have been placed there with an intention to deceive the public ; but it is difficult to account for the blaok sand and the even distribution of tbe brass fillings. Fatalism Illustrated. —A Hard- Shell Baptist Minister, living somewhere on the froutier of Missouri, was in the habit of saying to his family and to his church ; “Friends you need not take.any unusual care of your lives ; the moment of your death was written before the foundation of the world and you cannot alter it.” His wife observed, when he left on Saturday to meet one of his frontier mis sionary engagements, that he dressed the flint of his rifle with unusual care, put in dry powder, fresh tow, and took every pains to make sure that the gun would go off in case he came upon an Indian. It struck her oa.e day as she saw him in the saddle, with bis rifle ou his shoul der, that his eondupt oontradicted his teachings, and she said to him ; “My dear, why do von take this rifle with yon ? If it was ‘writ’ before the foundation of the world that you were to be killed duripg this trip by an Indian, that rifle won’t present it ; and if you are not to be killed, of course the fifte * s unneces sary ; so why take it with j’ou at all ?” “Yes,' he replied, “to be sure, my dear, of course you are all very right and that is a very proper view ; but see here, my dear—now —really—hut then you see, my dear —suppose I should meet an Indian while I am gone, and his time had come, and I hadn't my rifle with me, what would he do ? Yes my dear, we must all contribute our part towards the fulfillment of the decrees of Providence.” Women in Connecticut are about to test their right to vote under the 14th amendment. Applications “to be made” have already been received by the registrars from at least three prominent females in Bridgeport, aged respectively 34, 56 and 63. And in several other towns steps are being taken to the same end. The amendment in question reads thns: “All persons born on naturalized in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States, &c.” Telegraphic Summary. Versailles, April 12. —Cannonading about Paris is less frequent to-day, and nothing of importance has transpired. London, April 12 —The steamship Baltimore touched at Southampton- A dispatch from Versailles states that considerable fighting is going on in the vicinity of Fore Montrouge, aQj near Issy aod Vanveres, when tbe dispatch left. Tbe soathside of tbe city has not been shelled by the Government troops, bnt if the insurgents continue firing fretn the forts and show no signs of yielding, it is intended to shell with vigor, so as to com mand the whole southern part of the city. The sacking of public buildings by the j mob of men and women continues. Sever al attractive city churches have been pillaged. Paris is cut off from all communication with the outer world. No message or messenger can leave without a pass from Gen. Dswbrowski. Napoleon is ill at Chiselliurst. Berlin, April 12.—The Official Journal, of to-day, says Germany will only interfere in the affairs of France when it shall be come necessary for the collection of money due herself. Bkcssei#,, April 12.— The representa tive of Bidet, in the Pfeace Conference, has arrived in this city. No meeting has been held this week. Paris, April 12. —Load and uninter rupted cannonading has been kept up since last evening, between Chatillon and the southern forts ; infantry are also en gaged.

The Com mune are forwarding reinforcements to the troops engaged. Wounded are coming in in large number?. Losses heavy. The official reports of the Commune claim that the Versailles forces were re pulsed on Tuesday evening in the attack on the southern forts, aud that their loss was heavy, while that of the Communists was very slight. The Commune believe that the attack was intended to mask an. attempt to carry Maillot Gate by surprise. Rumor comes from Vangierard quarter, in the Southern part of the city, that the Communists have lost the Park of Issy, where they were entrenched, and that the commandant of Fort Issj has been shot by his own men. Vienna, April 12.—Jay, Minister of the United States, received a dispatch from Grant, expressing deep regret at the pain ful loss to Austria, by the death of Ad miral Tegethoff. Kingston, Jamaica, April 11.—Haytien spies have arrived here to watch refugees, and report any movement by them to wards the annexation of Hayti to the Uni ted States.

They will be sold at public auction. London, April 12. The Echo, of Cologne, says French prisoners are leaving Germany for home at the rate of one thousand per day. Echo adds, “only those known to be favorable to the Ver sailles Government are allowed to depart.” A Paris special to the London Tele graph says tbe Church of Notre Dame DeLorette has been pillaged. Arrests are increasing. Washington, April 12.—At the second session ot the Southern Claims Commis sion to-day, several cases were set for further hearing. The Commission con sidered the claim of sixth auditor Martin for articles taken from his plantation in Alabama during Grierson’s raid. The question of jurisdiction over claims for the rent of occupied public buildings in the South was presented, but the Com mission decline to answer until the ease involving the point comes up. Public notice is given of the desire of the Com mission to have the petitions addressed them tor allowance of claims accompanied by all the written evidence of whatever character in the possession of tbe claim ants. They also decided their rules did require tbe iron-clad oath attached to pe titions, to be wholly in writing, but that a printed form may be used. Senate. Sherman’s resolution, in structing the Finance Committee to con sider, during recess, the best system for reducing taxes, was adopted. Robertson moved to amend the order of business so as to allow the consideration of the House amnesty bill. Elmunds objected, and it goes over till to-morrow. The Ku-Klux bill was debated, without voting. The House resumed tbe Deficiency Ap propriation bill. The Senate amendment, appropriating twelve thousand dollars for the benefit of destitute aged persons, in the District of Columbia, was concurred in. A long discussion ensued on the amend meat repealing the law requiring Congress to meet on March 4th, but no action. The amendment had passed, but is being re considered. San Francisco, April 12.—Tht prose cution in the Fair-Crittenden murder trial are now introducing rebuttal evidence, showing her character to have been notori ously bad before she met Crittenden. The interest in the case continues unabated. Over one hundred love letters, which had passed between the parties, have been published. Many of the letters introduced’ in the case are unfit for publication. Wm. H. Seward, Jr., and Messrs. Knapp and Osborne, aud their ladies, are resting here a few days, before making a tour of this State and Oregon. , Eleven Japanese merchants have ar rived here by the bark Gaucho, with 135,- 000 cards of silk-worm eggs, costing in Japan $675,000. They were contracted for by a French house at five dollars a card, but the order was cancelled in con sequence of the war. The Japanese mer chants then chartered she Gaucho and shipped their entire lot for this port for market. They are of the best known variety and in good condition. The steamer Ajax, from Honolula, with the Australian mails, is three days over due. In the Fair-Crittenden case to-day, Judge Dwinelle ordered her counsel (Cook) to show cause next Monday why he should not be punished for contempt of court, he having made an assertion which the Judge characterised as false, in regard to hie ruling in the case.

Have prepared a Specif 1 adapted to the Ootton Plant, under the name of COTTON FOOD! Which they claim to be of the highest grade of Fertilizer sold in the South, equal in its results to Peruvian Guano, and of more permanent benefit to the soil It has been used by SEVERAL HUN DRED PLANTERS in North and South Carolina and Georgia for two seasons,-with the following results : It increases the crop from 100 to 200 per cent. It resists drought in all cases. The crop is not affected by rust. It matures the crop three to four weeks in advance, thus insuring the crop against early frosts, or in the event of a backward season for planting, enables the planter to put in hisciop three or four weeks later, even as late as the Ist of June, with a cer tainty of success. It produces a better quality of Cotton. Looking at the low prioe of Cotton, the intelligent planter will readily compre hend the necessity of using nothing but the highest grade of Fertilizers, and of strictly avoiding.-those whose value has been reduced by adulteration, or the use of oheap materials under pretonceof meet ing the low price of Cotton. 1 f his crop is only doubled by the use of “COTTON FOOD,” it will give aim from one to two hundred per cent, profit on his outlay, with Cotton at 121 cents per pound, and it will enable him to plant fewer acres with a corresponding reduc tion of labor and expense, with better re sult. *Sr COTTON FOOD can be had of WILBERFOROE DANIEL, Augusta, Ga. 1 am authorized to propose to all Agents of Fertilizers in the South, if they, or any one of them, will placeone ortive tons of Guano with a reliable planter, I will place with him the same quantity ot Cotton Food, and the Guano making the best yitld to get th« pav for the whole.
