MORNING SESSION.
Tho Convention met yesterday morning
at 11 o'clock in the Opera House. Gen.
Colquitt, the President, being absent,
Vice-President George W. Adams pre
sided.
The roll being called, it w&b found that
twenty-eight counties, with seventy-one
delegates, not a quorum, were repre
sented.
A motion was made by Mr. Hudson, of
Harris, to adjourn until 3 p. m. Lost.
The question of “Fertilizers” was in
troduced, and Mr. Ragsdale, of DeKalb
county, was the first speaker. He showed
how fertilizers bad benefited his county,
which last year spent $5,000 for qummer-
cial manures. He combated the moa of
making homo fertilizers, on the ground
that a company formed for the purpose
can manufacture manures cheaper than
farmers can make them, He told fanners
the way to get out of panics, etc. It is
to use fertilizers judiciously, cultivate
laud thoroughly, and live withiu in
comes. Dry goods bills were as ex
pensive as fertilizers. You cannot
raise too much cotton. His county
had resolved to buy manures direct from
tho manufacturers, and thus save the
commission of agents. Ho thought at
this time those manures were a groat
blessing to the country. He seemed to
think that farmers should not diversify
their crops, but plant on every acre what
tho laud requires.
Mr. Neal, of Warren, thought tho use
of these fertilizers bad tended to tbo neg
lect of home mauures. Hu wanted crops
diversified, that all nrght be independent.
Dr. A. Means, being loudly called for,
made a lengthy but vory eloquent speech.
Ho proved that chemistry wus the science
of all sciences. It has revolutionized
tho world. Its researches were being con
tinued, and its discoveries were as valua
ble to the farmer as to the scientist.
Earth supplies its products to naturo in
profusion. Civilization comes in and do-
maods support to man 20 per cent, greater
than was hitherto demanded. Chemistry
answers ull tho questions, and in its ap
plication gives the increased production.
Ho demonstrated that plants, like ani
mals, required certain food, and an intel
ligont chemist could supply it. Ho novel*
had known laud that was injured by good
fertilizers. It bad increased production
25 lo 75 per cout. He agreod that mon
of capital could manufacture manures
clioupor than individual manures. He
was now a septuagenarian, and had aided,
with friends uow gone to the spirit land,
in forming tho Georgia Agricultural So
ciety. He hoped it would ovor endure.
By analysis six impoBturo companies had
boon detected and removed from Georgia
Mr. , of , thought the
question was not whether commercial
fertilizers had increased production, but
whether they had douo more good thau
evil to tho State.
Col. Mobley, of Harris county, moved
to invito citizens of Columbus to attend
tho meetings, and especially tho ladies ;
and Lhut tho Muscogee Agricultural So
ciety be invited to souts on the iloor.
Adopted by a rising vote.
On motion, adjourned to 11 p. m.
River A’flirs.
Tho Now Jackson arrivod yesterday
morning with 81 bales of cotton and 5!)
barrels. She would have arrived sooner
had she not blown out a cylinder head.
This oausod some delay. She left yester
day.
Fan,
Happy Cal Wagner, with his now and
splendidly organized troupo, will bo at the
Opora House to-night, and wo bespeak
thorn a crowded house. Wo soo by our
exohangOH tb it Waguor is meeting with,
even a greater hucoohh than hoforo, and
adding new laurels to the wreath that
crowns him the Kuight of laughter.
Improvement* to the Court liou*c.
Now that our Couuty Commissioners
have paid thecouuly out of debt by wise,
prudent uud close management, they have
very rightly concluded to improve our
Court House. Oue idea is to change tho
council chamber for the Superior Court
room. This will give the city tho advan
tage of a vault iu which to deposit her re
cords and valuable papers from loss by
pillago or tiro. They also propose to alter
the present broak-neck steps to marc com
fortable and handsomer ouos, and to
repaint and whitewash tho facings and
walls.

Farming Ojieration
They are commencing in earnest.
Plows are busy goiug. We think there is
a more general disposition this year to
make plantations solf sustaining, ami a
determination by u majority to live with
in their incomes. Tho great mass are
compelled to do so by necessity, but very
many have adopted the plan from choice.
The country will bo richer and hap
pier by it next fall.
Complimentary Party.
An elegant entertainment was given at
the Perry House last evening, by the at
tendants to Mr. M. J. Crawford, Jr., and
his lovely und accomplished bride. The
attendance was large aud superb. Many
of tho costumes were exquisite aud added
to the brilliant charms of the boautiful
wearers. Every arrangement was admira
ble, and details wore perfect. The sup
per was a splendid oue and tho tables
were prepared with excellent taste. The
evening was oue of uualioyed enjoyment.
Daucing was continued until the “wee

ADDRESS OF WELCOME.
Mr. President and Gentlemen of the Con
vention :
Tho occasion which can command the
presence of such a representative body
as ih bore assembled, must bo one of no
ordiuary public concern. And whilst we
do not claim to bo thoroughly informed
as to ail the ends whioh it iu your purpose
to accomplish, yet it is enough for us to
know that you seek to promote tho great
agricultural interests of the State, aud by
combining practical experience with sci-
entitic skill to re-establish that prosperity
and domestic independence which was
ours under another und a different sys
tem. Therefore, iu the name, and iu bo-
half of the people of C lumbus, I bid you
God speed in all jour efforts, and a most
hearty welcome among us.
The fortunes of war bereft ns of every
thing but our honor, our glorious sun
light and our genial soil. With these,
backed by the blood mid brains of a noble
race of men, und a race of women, grander
aud more lovely, struggling with poverty
aud misfortune, than when surrounded by
luxury and wealth, we must make this
commonwealth a gieut store house of
plenty, and tho title deeds to its broad
acres equal a patent of nobility. This is
your \^ork, and if I may be pardoned, Mr.
President and gentlemen, I would say,
that neither ocean steamers nor immigra
tion societies are the first means to bo
employed iu accomplishing these grand
results.
But whenever you can establish tho
fact, that a home with us will give more
comfort and more money than one in
either tho North or tho West, that day will
find settlers seeking homos iu our midst,
aud finding the means of transportation.
Auother thing which might well en-
gage your attention, aud that is, to give,
if possible, such direction to agricultural
labor as shall make it more thrifty, and
that will stop this everlasting drain upon
the country for uow victims to be sacri
ficed annually by being transplanted into
tho towns and cities, where tho chances
are, that pride and disappointment will
rendor thorn utterly useless to themselves
and a total loss to Hooioty.
I beg further to Hay that unemployed
men, aye, and wornou too, are a cuise to
any community, for having stolen away
the key of mischiof and working none
fhemsolvos, others who would they hin
der, and they commit and cause larcenies
and burglaries, arson and murder. Let
mo invoke you, therefore, to command
your public officers to stretch forth the
strong arm of power, and punish every
one who refuse to work, having no visi
ble means of support, as a vagrant. Let
them serve the State. We appreciate,
however, the wisdom of making haste
slowly in all thoso matters, and feel con
fident thut all tho groat interests com
mitted to your earo will be well and wise
ly managed.
Having heretofore met and taken coun-
sol together on tho waters of tho Coosa
aud Oconee, the Ocmulgee aud tho Sa
vannah, it is with pleasure that we now
greet you at tho “Falls of Chattahoehoe,”
and upon tho part of the City Fathers
and all the people we again hid you wel
come.
REPLY OF GEN. COLQUITT.
In substance it was as follows :
Gentlemen of the City Council:
In behalf of the Convention I return
you thanks for your kind welcome.
Though wo have all the banks of other
streams, and Columbus is tbo extreme
western line of tho State, still she is tho
center of tho hearts of Goorgia farmers.
Sbo is tho development of a diversity of
labor. At our Fairs the fabrics of her
looms has illustrated the industry and in
genuity of tho South aud the power which
our country can attain. She has shown
us that the interest of farmers is not
alone to cultivate cotton but to manufac
ture. She has tho honor of being the
chief manufacturing city of the South
We appreciate the kind hospitality you
offer. Speaking for myself, I say there
is not a dearer spot to mo on earth than
Columbus. Iu warm hearted welcomes
Colun bus is foremost. Wo gladly invite
you and your citizens to visit the hall du
ring our deliberation, and ask that you
bring with you that highest aud noblest
illustration of Georgia, the women of
your households.
Both speeches were greeted with ap
plause.
LECTURE OF PROFESSOR WHITE.
This came next iu order. Ho is Pro
fessor of Chemistry in tho State Agricul
tural Collego iu Athens; a young
aud one who seems thoroughly familiar
with his subject. Ilis lecture v
tensely interesting. He divided the cotton
plant into six elements—tho plant being a
chemical compound—tho lint, seed, boll,
leaves, stem and roots, aud explained tho
proportionate parts of the compounds of
each. He demonstrated that to produce
150 pounds of lint cotton there were re
quired 10 pounds of phosphoric acid, 21
pounds of potash, 30 of lime, 0 of mag
nesia, and 2G of nitrogen. These must
be furnished or the plant will not grow
He stated, also, that oottou was the least
exhaustive of any plant grown. lie ad
vised using cotton stems, leaves, roots
aud seed as a fertilizer iu thoir normal
form aud not as an nsh, especially on light
lands.
By Colonel Mobley: “Resolved, That
this Convention retnrn thank* to Profes
sor White for his very able and valuable
address on the analysis of cotton, and
that it be embraced in the proceedings of
this body; and further, that we di^iereby
express our gratitude to him for his valu
able directions regarding fertilizers con
tained iu his pamphlets. Adopted unani
mously.
Convention adjourned to 7h o'clock.
HOTEL ARRIVALS,
EVENING SESSION.
Vice President Z. U. Clark, of Ogle
thorpe, presided. Some two hundred
members were present. It soemed to be
a geueral experience meeting. Col. Turn-
hn of Polk, J. Y. Carmichael of Sparta,
Dr. Newton, B. W. Jones of Whitfield,
and others, spoke. Most agreed the true
idea was to make farmers self-sustaining
and live economically.
One geutlemen from Middle Georgia
thought the whole fault was iu the money
lenders, who demand two and one
half per cent, per mouth He want
ed interest limited to ten per cent,
as a panacea for all oat wants, and make
tho lender loose his money when he charg
ed more. \ [Who would lond money at ten
per cent?] Dr. Newton wanted the con
vention members to say how much of
cotton and gniii they were going to plant
this ycarf*tuiAo|^ partially succeeded in
his object.
Adjourned to 9 a m. to-day.
FERSONEL.
The Convention is composed of fine
looking, intelligent men, as a rule, but
wo don't^nd many horny fists and fewer
homespun clothes. Mr. J. Henley Smith
is acting as assistant Secretary.
SUITS AGAINST THE CITY.
Relics o/ the Olden Time* and Their His
tory.
There are uow several suits against tho
city which, including principal and inter
est since 1842, amount to $7,975. Wo
find, upon looking at the bills, that they
were filed in 185G, and have been in court
for years. While Judge Harrell was pro
sidiug for Judgo Johnson, they were dis
missed for nonpayment of taxes, and wo
beliovo the Supreme Court of the State
confirmed tho decision. A test case
made before the Supreme Court of tho
United States, and the law of Georgia re
quiring the payment of taxes iu such ca
sea, as a prerequisite, was declared un
constitutional. Col. Win. Dougherty
commenced tho suits. Sioco his death
ex-Judgo E. W. Worrell is leadin
counsel. General Benning represents
the city.
Upon examining the record wo find
that the suits are three in number: Chap
man & Threewits for $230, George Win
ston, administrator, $1,935 aud Stephen
Williams for $200; all bear interest. A
similar suit was instituted by Mr. Ed. Ca
ry, but this was dismissed because par
ties had not been made.
Tho suits are based on these facts
In December of 1835, the Georgia Legis
lature chartered the Chattahoochee Rail
road Company with a capital of $1,500,-
000. In the following December,bankiug
privileges wore granted under the name
of the “Chattahoochee Railroad aud
Banking Company.” Stockholders wore
made liublo to the extent of their stock,
and capital increased to two millions.
Thomas B. Hoxoy was President, and
Wiley Williams, Cashier. Both are uow
dead. Tho city took 2000 shares of stock.
The ostensibol purpose was to build a
railroad southward to Albany we under
stand, but the managers hurried it into a
banking institution and issued $200,000
of bills. The parties named came into
possession of bills to the amount claimed.
In 1842 tbej r presented the bills to the
bank and redemption was refused. They
sued, obtained judgment, and tho Sheriff
reported no funds ; so they commenced
suit against the city.
At that time, 1842, John C. Maoghnm
was Sheriff, and Wm. F. Luckie, now a
cotton buyer iu Columbus, was Deputy
Sheriff.
The parties prosecuting are now pro
posing a compromise of $1000 we believe.
How the matter will result w T o know* not.
Wo suppose Council will huve the matter
bofore it at its session next month.

Ho then at length treatod of fertilizers.
In every good one throe main elements

ho bought in combination; otherwise it
is too expensive. It ought always to he

which is soluble iu water; though insolu

explain his various tests in examining
certaiu guanos, feud showed that in some
instances a guano was more valued

was an instance. Soluble Pacific ought
to cost $34.77 per ton iu Savannah.

Yon may read about a man or a place

tho trouble to stop at the store of Joseph
A Bro. It will be seen at once that the
advertisement does not convey the faint
est idea of tho sacrifice they are making
in dry goods of every description. The
truth cannot be contradicted that they are
selling goods to-day cheaper than they can
be bought for iu New York, aud lower iu
some cases than tho cost of manufacture.
Detail dealers should avail themselves of
this fact as well as general oonsnmers.
They are always ready to prove the above.

As my Address on elementary Agri
cultural Chemistry, teaching the cheap
est and shortest moans for procuring and
compounding manures, is enthusiastically
recoived and heartily endorsed by almost
every intelligent planter in this section,
aud that 1 may he compensated in a meas
ure somewhat commensurate with tho
acknowledged merits of the production
and value of tho information convoyed,
I do from this date establish the price ut
7)0 oents per copy. In consideration of
this change, I do hereby agree to re
fund the money to suy farmer who, after
reading the production, will certify to me
he is not fully satisfied with tho invest
ment. Thera is no slavery so hopeless
as that which compels a man to support a
family by the cultivation of poor laud
Tho problem to he solved by the South
before we can hope for agricultural recu
peration and prosperity, is cheap and re
liable manures. The Address solves that
problem. I defy tho agricultural or sci
entitle world to disprove oue fact or posi
