®fe smn mul ©avdcn. 1776 and 1869. At a recent meeting of the Farmer’s Club, the following contrast was read ; the first lines having been written by Dr. Franklin: 1776. “Farmers at. the plow', Wife milking cow, Daughter spinning yarn, Son threshing in the barn, All happy to a charm.” 1860. Farmer gone to see a show, Daughter at the piano, Madame gaily dressed in satin, All the boys learning Latin, With a mortgage on the farm. Great Discovery for the South. Tire Journal of Agriculture says, the pamphlet on the use and merits of the Ramie, by Dr. Roezel, contains all the in formation necessary to those interested in this valuable discovery—and describes this plant, with all its advantages ever cotton and as a substitute for it. It is conceded bv the results of eminent French botanists, that this plant possesses the following advantages, (and machines are already patented for its preparation): 1. That the fibre of the ramie is strong er than that of the best European hemp. 2. That it is fifty per cent, stronger and better than the Belgian, flaxen, oi lmen fibre. 3. That the ramie fibre may be spun as fine as that of flax, and that it will be doubly as durable. 4. That the plant is a vigorous grower, and will produce far the greatest amount of textile fibre of any plant hitherto known. 5. That it will produce within the belt in which it flourishes, from three to five annual crops, each equal to the host gath ered from hemp. It requires less labor than cotton, is not destroyed by. the caterpillar, does not suffer from excess of rains, and withstands the longest drouth, without injury; can be taken from the field in the morning and, a few hours after, a nice fine fibre may be had by using a cleaning machine patented by Roezel. The fibre of this plant is, when cleaned without bleaching, purely white, far fin er than cotton or flax linen. The plant, in a warm latitude, is perennial, and the crops from it are taken like those of cane, by cutting it to the ground; from the’ ratt:/ons anew growth springs up at once, giving from three to four, and even five per annum in Louisiana, middle and lower Mississippi, Alabama, Texas, Florida, and South Carolina. Rich sandy ground suits best, but is so vigorous that it will do well anywhere, and the roots, or pieces of roots and stalks, can be used to increase the plantation. In a word, the cultivation of this plant will reconstruct the prosperity of the South, its market price being, already quoted in the foreign prices current. How to Fit Collars on a-Horses’ Shoulders. It is very important to have a collar fit nicely and snugly to the shoulders of the horse. It enables him to work with a great deal more ease and to apply a great deal more strength. It prevents galling and wounding, as the friction is avoided. Collars are so made as to throw the chief force on the lower part of the shoulder. The horse can apply but little strength on the upper part, and for this reason breast collars are coming greatly into vogue. But we wish to tell om- readers how to make anew collar fit the shoulder of the horse. The collar should be purchased of the proper size. They are usually too large. If obtained of the proper size, just before putting it on, the first time, immerse it in water, letting it remain about a minute, and immediately put it on the horse, being careful to iiavc the hames so adjusted at top and bottom as to fit the shoulder, and then put the horse to work. The collar, being wet, will ad apt itself to the shoulder, and should dry on the horse. When taken off it should he left in the same, shape it occupied on the horse, and ever after you will have a snug fitting collar. Tree Planting. Th is is the season for planting trees. | Do not plant too deeply. The old custom of digging deep narrow holes to set trees in can not bo too strongly condemed. If the subsoil is an impervious clay, the tree roots literally stand in a tub of muck in wet, and hardened dirt in dry weather ; for the sides of their prison being imper vious the water can neither get out when it is in, or in when it is out! We would have the ground underdrained and sub soiled, in certain cases trenched, the soil well prepared, and then set the roots from four to six inches deep, banking up pretty well for some distance around. If in its search after food and moisture the tree chooses to send its roots down deeper that is its own business. ' An ax costing $2. with which a laborer may cut ’SO cords of wood a month, is a cheaper tool than an ax costing sl, with which lie can cut only 40 cords. A “cheap plow” at $5, costing in one season $3 in repair and three more in lost time, to teams, men, and by retarding crops, is a deafer plow than one at $lO requiring no repairs. A cow bought for $lO, whose milk but pays her keeping, affords less profit than one at S3O and gives double the amount of milk afforded by the former. wsssa - & asms* r<a &sr laaaa. Orchard Grass in Lawns. Orchard grass is valuable in its place but that place is not oil a lawn. There can be no more ridiculous exhibition than that we see from our office windows in City Hall Park. Some official goose last year sowed the “grass plot” with Orchard Grass, and this year other geese have been trying to hack the grass into something like subjection. When the city officials succeed in making a lawn out of Orchard Grass we shall let our readers know it. Persistent mowing is the best thing that can be done with it but this will hardly make lawn grass of it. Better root out the ugly tufts altogether, and put in Red top, June, or Blue Grass, or any other kind that does not make tussocks. The two worst among our common grasses for a lawn are Orchard Grass and Timothy; no mowing will break up their tendency to form stools or tussocks. With Red-top, June or Iventucy Blue Grass, or Italian Rye Grass, a dense and velvety sward may soon be formed by frequent mowing and rolling. —American Agriculturist. Manure for Potatoes. —An exchange says the following recipe for raising potatoes is worth the price of any paper for one year to any farmer that is short of manure. It is as good as the best su perphosphate of lime, and it will not eost half so much. It has been tried two years, and is good on dry land. Take one cask of lime and slack it with water, and then stir in one bushel of fine salt, and then mix in loam or ashes enough, so that it will not become mortar ; it will make about five bar rels. Put half a pint in a hill at planting. .All manures containing potash are particularly suita ble for the potato. Ashes contain more than any other natural fertilizer, and should be freely used and carefully saved. Hens —A hen, if she is allowed her liberty', will eat one bushel of corn a year. Good corn and clean water is the best feed, with scraps of meat, &c.,.in the winter. We have a hen that paid more than sl'(f profit last year; she raised two broods of chickens, (twenty). 1 was offered one dollar each for them in December. Any hen if allowed to bring up a brood of chickens will pay a profit of from $3 to $lO a year. Cleaning out Choked Pipe. —A correspondent of the Gardener's Monthly, says: “A neighbor of mine opened a line of cement pipes a quarter of a mile long, by starting a large crawfish in at the up per end.” This is the second case in which I have Known it to succeed; and I know of a case in which it was tried and failed ; but in this case a piston, worked vigorously at the upper end, clear ed out the obstruction.

Address, DEACON A PETERSON, 319 WALNUT Street, Pbilaaelphia : __ NA T IQ NALH OT E L, \ ATLANTA, GA. o©r., Whitehall St., <& W. & A. R. R. \ E. B. POND, Proprietor. The New York Tribune FOR 1869. Within the last eight years our country has tri umphantly past through the gravest and most try ing perils which have confronted her since her In dependence was acknowledged. She has vindica ted beyond appeal, her right to he regarded as no mere confederacy or league of jealous, envious, discordant States, but as substantially and perma uently a Nation, wherein the pretensions of no part can be admitted or upheld in opposition to the integrity, the paramount authority, of thp One Re public. The right of each man, by virtue of his birth or his naturalization as a citizen of the United States, to the full enjoyment of “life, liberty, and the pur suit of happiness,” until he shall forfeit the Tight by crime, is also established on impregnable founda tions. Our fathers proclaimed if in justifying their separation from Great Britain ; it was left, to us to establish as a fact what they merely affirmed as a principle. What the cannon of Saratoga and Yorktown proclaimed as an abstraction, the cannon of Gettysburg, Vicksburg, and Five Forks estab lished as a living, embodied, enacted truth. Wide ly as our flag now" flouts, still more' widely as it may float hereafter, there is, there can henceforth be, no legal master, n> fettered slave. Wrongs and abuses, setviiity and oppression, may still ex ist; but the Federal Constitution is no longer their shield, and the folds of our flag no longer emblazon nor seek to conceal a lie. The humblest American, so long as he violates no law, is master of his own limbs and the sole owner of all, lie can honestly earn. Os these immense results, the importance and the beneficence will become more palpable with every added year. Distance is required to enable us to measure and appreciate the magnitude or'the pyramids .of Four Millions of shackles, stricken from the scarred limbs of our countrymen, which form the enduring monument of our struggle and our triumph. New arts, new industries, new de velopments of natural wealth, too long unheeded and unvalued, will year by year stand forth in at testation that none of us has yet adequately real ized the magnitude'and the benignity of our Na tional victory. No great-good is. ever achived without effort or without cost. Four years of patriotic struggle and Sacrifice, Hall a Million of men slain in battle or dying of the privations and exposures of War. Millions of bereaved ones, Five Billions of property destroyed, and nearly Three Billions of Debt in curred, attest the magnitude of the contest and the unyielding valor of the combatants. At lengtl), the smoke rises from the hard-won field, showing that the last intrenchment has been carried. The election of Grant and Colfax gives assurance that the storm is over—that the Bow of Promise arches the sky. There are still obstacles to surmount, perils to avert, noble ends to be achieved; but the ship of State has ridden out the tempest and has her haven full in view. The seven States reconstructed under the recent acts of Congress will stand, and will be followed by the three that have hitherto stood aloof; the rights of the Freedmen will be upheld and re spected, and Impartial Suffrage throughout the land will soon plant them on foundations that can not be shaken. The Tribune will contend, in the future as in the past, for Universal Amnesty as well, as for Impar tial Suffrage. It lias no faith in vengance, in pro scription, in confiscation, nor in the shedding of blood otherwise than in actual and necessary war. “There is a time for War and a time for Peace;” and the latter follows swiftly on the heels of the former. Whenever those who fought against the Uulon shall have in good faith given up the con test, they are no longer our foes but our country men. In the joyful trust that Grant’s election has given the death-blow to Kq-Klux Klans, and all manner of outrages on Unionists and Freedmen as such, and that Impartial Suffrage will no longer be seri ously resisted, we hope to see the next four years signalized-by an unprecedented expansion of the National Industry and a consequent increase of the National wealth. We hope to see new cabins dot the prairie, new clearings chequer the forest, new mills, factories and furnaces erected, North, South, East and West, until our annual product shall be Hundreds of Millions greater than at present, while Mines of Iron and of Coal, of Gold, Silver, &c., shall be opened and worked, with an energy and to an extent that defies precedent. Believing that the systematic, efficient Protection of Home In dustry is the corner stone of a wise, benignant Na tional Policy, and that it is essential to the rapid development of our latent resources, to the pros perity of our country, the maintenance of her Credit, and the honest payment of her Debt; we shall give it our most earnest and active support. THE DAILY TRIBUNE has been so long known as the leading political newspaper of the country, that its special features need no elaborate description. It contains the fullest and most accurate reports of the proceed ings in Congress and the State Legislatures, careful summaries of news from all quarters of the globe, correspondents from all the principal centers of intelligence at home aud abroad, letters from travel ers in foreign lands, reviews of new books, dra malic, musical, and fine art criticisms, literary, scientific, and religious miscellanies, and all the multitude of items which make a first-class daily paper. It is printed with better and clearer type than any other daily journal in America. It is published every morning, Sunday excepted. Terms, §lO a year; §5 for six months, THE SEMI-WEEKLY TRIBUNE is published every Tuesday and Friday, and con tains all the editorial articles, not merely local in character; literary review's and art criticisms; let ters from a large corps of foreign and domestic correspondents; special and Associated Press tele graph dispatches; a careful aud complete sum mary of foreign and domestic news; exclusive re ports of the proceedings of the Farmers’ Club of the American Institute; talks about fruit, and other horticultural and agricultural information; stock, financial, cattle, dry goods and general market re ports, which are published in The Daily Tribune. The Semi- Weekly Tribune also gives, in the course of a year, three or four of the best and latest pop ular novels, by living authors.' The cost of these alone, if brought, in book form, would be from six to eight dollars. If purchased in the English magazines, from which they are carefully selected, the cost would be three*or four times that sum. Nowhere else can be so much current intelligence and permanent literary matter be bad at so cheap a raters in The Sem- Weekly Tribune. Those who believe in the principles and approve of the char acter of Thu Tribune can increase its power and influence by joining with their neighbors in form ing clubs to subscribe for The Semi-Weekly edition. It will in that way be supplied to them at the low est price for which such a paper can be printed. TERMS OF THE SEMI-WEEKLY TRIBUNE.

THE WEEKLY TRIBUNE has continued to circulate a greater number of copies than any other newspaper in the country. We appreciate this confidence, and shall labor to retain it. Its previous attractions will be contin ued and increased. The main features of our Weekly will be agriculture, literature, politics, and the markets, with the latest summary of the daily news. We liave made special arrangements to increase Us usefulness as an agricultural journal. The Farmer’s Club will be fully reported, and spe cial articles on agricultural topics contributed by the best writers. No farmer who desires to till the soil with profit, and to know the progress con- j stantly made in the science of his calling, cau as-1 ford to neglect the advantages of a newspaper like ! The Weekly Tribune, especially when it unites i with agriculture other features of interest and prof it. The Weekly Tribune contains a summary of all that appears in The Daily and Semi-Week ly editions, while in addition it is made to address itself to the wants of the great farming class. Re views ol all the now publications, and of all tbal is new in music and the flue arts; letters from all parts of the world—some of them of rare interest to tho farmer, as showing the progress of agricul ture in other countries; editorial essays on all top ics of home and foreign interest, together with full and carefully reported reports of the markets, will : be furnished from week to week, and at a lower | price than that of any newspaper in America. By | pursuing this policy Tjie Weekly Tribune has al | ready attained its present commanding influence and circulation, and we enter upon the new year with an assurance to our readers that no pains and no expense will be spared to give it still greater usefulness and power, and to make it a welcome visitor to every fireside in the land. . The Editor of The Tribune purposes to write, during the year 1809,. an elementary work on Po litical Economy, wherein the policy of Protection to Home Industry will be explained and vindicated. This work will first be given to the public through successive issues of The Tribune, and will ap pear in all its editions —Daily, Semi-Weekly, and Weekly.

The Tribune has often been applied to for copies of Mr. Greeley’s history ofthe late Civil War, entitled 'lhe American Conflict. Many evi dently presume that it is published by us, so that we can give copies at-pleasure. In several cases Union soldiers have written us saying that they were unable to pay his full price, but were never theless anxious’to possess the work, and asking us to tell them by what means they may obtain it. In deference to these representations the pub lishers of The Tribune have made an arrange ment with Messrs. O. D.- Case & Cos., publishers of The American Conflict, whereby they are enabled to offer that work to such persons as may see fit to obtain mail subscriptions for The Tribune as follows: One copy of the History, in two volumes, will be sent to either of the following clubs: The money for each club to be sent at one time and all papers for the same club to be addressed to one Post office. For s2l, ten copies’ Weekly Tribune , to names of subscribers. For $33, twenty copies Weekly Tribune, to names of subscribers. For s6l, fifty copies Weekly Tribune to names of subscribers.

The American Conflict is a History of the late Civil War, its causes and incidents, in two large and well printed octavos of 648 and 782 pages respec tively, and is sold for $lO. It is abundantly and admirably illustrated with plans of battles and sieges, portraits of Presidents, Generals, Govern ors, &c.,«who were prominent in the struggle, and with a very large Map of the seat of war. It has received from all quarters the highest commenda tions for accuracy of statement and fullness of de tail. It is substantially bound, and must be deem ed a valuable addition to any library. These vol umes should be placed in every School District li brary in the land, aud each school contains schol ars who can, with a few hours attention, raise a Tribune Club and secure the history. Almost any one who wants can now obtain it by giving a few hours to obtaining subscription for The Tribune among his friends and neighbors, and we hope many will be incited to do so. The work will be promptly forwarded by express or by mail, pre paid, on receipt of the required subscriptious. Terms, cash in advance. Drafts on New York, or Post-Office orders, pay able to the order of The Tribune, being safer, are preferable to any other mode of remittance.

THE AMERICAN MION IS NOW The Gnly Republican paper in the State Price, $2,00 a Year. Every Repiublicass in Georgia should subscribe at ouce. EVENTS are now transpiring that must arrest the attention of the most careless. Besides, it is the duty of every American citizen to inform himself of the progress of the political affairs of his country. To do this it is necessary that he should take a reliable newspaper— not a death and destruction, rule or ruin concern, like those that have deceived the people into untold er rors for the last few years ; but one that is truthful, and that presents facts, be they ever so disagreeable, that its readers may know the whole truth, and thus form their own con clusions understandingly. The American Union is such a newspaper! It has always been firmly arrayed against the rule or ruin policy of secessionists, and is to-day battling fearlessly for human justice and obedience to the voice of the people. Every good citizen, within whose bosom there is a spark of patriotism, or even a grain of self-interest should at once consti tute himself nn agent, mid procure as many subscribers in his neigh borhood as possible, and thus, not only help sustain a good Republican paper, but secure its liberal teach ings to his friends. The American Union, if put into the hands of the doubting, will do more to convince them by sound rea soning than any other paper in the South.
