gurmi A. M. o. la;'*s r. h, Fid?;ov RVFU3 A. RUSSELL, Ae.oclfctefMUoV Buena Vlfiiu, Mtu'ion Cos., (ra FRIDAY tfOUSINO, NOVEMBER JMUI, 1875. The Ciiinty Coir t. On the ortleide of orr paper, wo publish to-day tbo Act, authorising the establishment of a County Court in Marion, for the purpose of exhibit ing the cost, aim and effectiveness of the court. As it will probably be a question of considerable debate in the future, it S3 well enough for both pari ties that this act. bo given genera publicity, at tins lime. O it A spccgd 1 o the Columbus Times, of Tuesday, gives the particulars of :u; a." • t-'I. to rape a beautiful and i .t >:r, ii.-hed young lady of Fort, Val ley, itgeu eighteen, by an ink black negro, on Sunday evening last. The fiend was thwarted in his foui design, and, Sunday night, n3he was being carried to jail, situated at Ferry, the guard was attacked and disarmed by a large baud of citizens disguised, and the negro was hung to a limb of a tree until w dead. The Few Congress- The interest in the new Con ■ ess, which comes together early next month, of course centres in the organization of the House of Representatives. It will be eigh i.ten years since a Democratic ; maker has been elected, and in th at interval the Republican par ty has controlled the House for .ine consecutive Congresses. Of the 292 members of the next House, the Democrats have 178, the Republicans 108, and the In dependents 6. Of the various can didate for the speakership, Kerr, of Indiana ; and Cox and Wood, of New York ; Sayler, of Ohio ; 1101. man, of Indiana; and Lamar, of Mississipi, were members of pre ceding Congresses, while Payne of Ohio, and Walker of Virginia ; are new members. The relative strength of the various candi dates is variously estimated, and by the first week in December figures alone may be brought into requisition for the first time to show who is ahead. A correspondent of the World says those Democratic members who have visited Washington ex press desire to vote for a candidate whose record as a Democrat is free from local and “entangling alliances,” and who will reflecs the highest honor or credit on his party and country. Next to the speaker, the Clerk is the most im portant officer of the Louse, and for this as well as for the minor offices there is no lack of candidates. It is generally conceded, however, that the cleikship will go to the South, which ad ranees no claims to the first posi tion. Col. R, H. Hardaway, of Thom as county, writes: “It gives me pleafUre to promptly answer your question as to the cost per pound to raise cotton. I give you the cost for seven years, to-wit: 1866, 14:50 ; 1867, 12:50 ; 1868, 12:25 ; 1869, 10:90; 1870, 8:60; 1871, 13:- 62 ; 1872, 10:78. The average is 11:88. This includes interest on ■value of lands, rej airs, interest on team, taxes, fertilizers, labor of cultivating, picking and packing, but nothing added for supervision. The latter would be hard to esti mate. This year’s crop has not been marketed, but will not ex c edten cents. I keep a record of my crop annually, and it simp y required the copying, as the cal culation was already made and en tered on my memorandum book.” —We have seen one drunken man s'ncfe we can e to Buena Vista. Saw him last night. He was trying to ride home on his bridle reins. J Public School Six Months in Suc cession. Rev. W. A. Singleton, the county school Commissioner, communicates an important document this week to the citizens of the county, in the form of a circular. As it is in regard to a very important matter, we publish it to-day, to give it wider circulation. The ecunty school commissioners have granted an important privilege m permitting the two free schoo 1 terms, of lireo mouths each, to come together when communities so desire it. Omen ok C. S. C. 1 Bursa Vista, Ga., {■ November 22nd, 1875. ) Dear 6ir:—The Board of Educa tion, at the November session, pass ed the lollowing or dor: “That the School Commissioner of this comity may contract with teach ers, if agreeable with patrons, for any number of months not less than the legal number nor more than ten months, and that ha may pay the pro rata on each attendance for the number of days each beneficiary at tended school, provided he does not pay for any attendance more than lor the legal time. The object of this order is to avoid the objection and ill-convenicnced attending public school any spocified three months, in which some benefi ciaries in the best communities are deprived by press of business, of pub lic education. Under this order I will contract with teachers for six or more months, ami allow the pro rata for the legal term for every beneficiary who at tends that length of time through the school and a pro rata for those atten ding for a less time. This provision will be ex ended to those communities only ■ Lo confer with me and make satisfactory ar rangements relative to time, compen sation, and certainty of execution of the entire plan. If such arrangements are sanction ed by any community, it is important that application be* made therefor immediately at my office. W. A. SINGLE TON. Corn is King. A few weeks since we noticed ha ving seen an ear of corn raised in Sumner county which had 1,272 ker aals, showing the remarkable gain of over twelve hundred fold. Now there is lying on our table an ear of sound white corn, the seeds of which are smaller and more numerous— -1,380. The rows are 22 in number and the grains in each row average 63, giving the aggregate above sta ted. The possibilities of this American cereal in our American soil and clim ate have not been studied with that scientific thoroughness which the importance of the subject demands. The plant is much more valuable for forage than for its seed or grain Last year a French fanner rai. ed sixty-five thousand pounds of green forage (maise or corn) per acre. This crop was kept in pits in its green state aud fed to dairy cows in the winter at a large profit. No other field crop paid so well. While studying a sta ple grain that yields with common care and culture thirteen hundred and eighty-six fold on the seed plan ted, some may doubt whether there is as much blood forming elements in the large stalks aud leaves of the plant as in its seeds. Brought to the test in pioduciug beef and milk, the yield is greater. Our corn changed into dairy products at the right lime in the growth of the plant will give the farmer more profits than other crops, iflffl butter aud cheese are sent to Europe wilh cotton and to bacco to find consumers. Corn is Ling, because there is more money in it than in any other pro duct of American soil, but, like the French cultivators, we must bring advanced art and science to our as sistance and learn to keep our best fields, when green with this crop and the seeds beg'm to form substantially in that condition the year round, to feed green maize to all growing ani mals yielding meats, horse-flesh and wool, as well as milk, butter and cheese. Corn is our best capital Plant a gold dollar and see how long it will be before a stock bearing 1,386 dollars like the parent seed can be harvested by a bullionist I—Nash ville Amriwn, GEORGIA MEWS.

Here is number twenty-five : The gin-house of Dr. Patillo, of Dougherty county, was burned last week, together with twelve hales of cotton, The fire origi nated in the lint room, and was ac cidental . The post-bellum experience of Col. Joneo, of the Macon T< le graph , lias been somewhat unfor tunate. Nince the war, while a re sident of Cuthbert, his horse was ■ stolen from the stable and never recovered. In a single night he lost every turkey, duck and chick en on his premises; had a valuable milch cow, just about to calve, kill ed and butchered within fifty rods of the settlement on his farm ; had a chest in his own bed-chamber, containing thirty five dollars in specie, opened and rifled ; his corn crib robbed of a large amount of grain ; gin-house entered_and five hundred pounds of cotton stolen, the thieves and their plunder cap tured within a few paces of the building; had his garden fence torn down and a whole wagon load of ruta-baga turnips carried off— three hales of packed cotton and a valuable mule spirited away to Florida from his Baker county plantation—forty head of sheep, and all save five of two hundred head of hogs, stolen from the same place; and, finally, his store, printing office, and merchandise worth $7,000, burnt by a negro for plunder, who was afterwards ar rested near Columbus. Says the Marietta Journal: Mr. Cyrus Dial’s gold mine, twelve miles i'lom Marietta,in county, is turning out gold in surprising quan i’ties. It is by far (be richest mine dis covered in Georgia. The dirt in his y.ud and garden is literally full of particles of the precious stuff. Mr. John Dum harn visiied Mr. Dial’splace and he in forms us that he saw Mr. Dial take a frying-pan full of dirt from his garden and from it hr. extracted one penm weight of gold, while from two small rocks he ot two penny-wrights wiili out any trouble.

AVe have two specimens from this mine. Mr. Dial was a poor man, but lie now finds himself sud denly x’ich. An Elegant Establishment. Yesterday we were shown through the elegant and com, ’etc establishment of Mr. W. R. Kent.
