TENTH MUM OH ML WAV.
To-tnurrow brings the annual re
turn of a day melancholy in its mem
ories, but pleasant, in tho opportuni
ties it affords us of making another
pilgrimage to the mceon of our polit
ical faith.
Willie the brood Mouth is uniting
to honor the day, with rites dignified
and decorous 1 , disclaims any captious
opposition to a government she was
forced to accept, it is yet peculiarly
fitting that while Massachusetts and
tho Nortli arc making unusual dem
onstrations over the completion of
one hundred years from the com
mencement. of one rebellion, wo
should meet to lament the fall of :
what lias been misnamed another.
Wo fought to shako off a despotism
fur more insidious in its approach,
und vastly more stupendous in its
proportions, than anything with
whioh our fathers were fated to con
tend; and if the 13th of April, tH7S,
Is tiie completion of a century that
causes no swell of patriotic ecstasy
In the bosoms of Southern people,
they arc not to blame for it.
Our attempt to preserve the prin
ciples rooted at Lexington and Con
cord, ami attaining full fruition at
Yovktown, was ten years ago to-mor
row finally stricken down by the
sons of tho very men who planted
tho tree of liberty, and for their gen
eration fostered its growth with the
most studious and tender care. One
wei'k ago to-morrow tho statues of
John Hancock and Samuel Adams
were unveiled to the ayes of many
thousands, who doubtless dwelt with
prido upon the thought that those
two men, who signed with such hold
and rebellious (?) hand an instru
ment attributing the rightful powers
of all government, to the “consent of
the, governed,” wore countrymen
with u fume more lasting than the
cold marble that attempted to por
tray their forms and features.

In imagination, with gentle hand re

who bowed themselves ut the altar of

honorable thuti that for which Han

We lmvo received three packages
of jcte seed for distribution. Any
farmer wistvlng to experiment with
this seed can obtain it if he will re
part tho result to the Department of
Agriculture or to this paper. We re
peat that the Grangers) ought to make
an arrangement, with Commissioner
Watts by which they can receive
their shave of the seeds distributed
through tho Department of Agricul
ture. Tho Cartersville Grange al
ways, through its Secretary, attended
to this, ami in consequence all the
best varieties of corn and wheat are
being cultivated in Bartow county.
P. M.~We elected our Worthy Mas
ter to Congress, against the united
opposition of newspapers and politi
cians, too.
Tennessee recently put a law on
her stotuto book to encourage sheep
growl ug, to which should have been
added, and tho sum of happiness
throughout the State. It simply im
iMises a tax of from one to five dol
lars on the keeping of a dog in tho
State—not one of the nuisances being
exempted. The act. further provides
that the non-imyment of a dog tax,
ton days after Its demand, shall be a
misdemeanor. The owner of a dog
must, under tho terms of the now
law, either pay the tax, kill the dog,
or be adjudged guilty of a misde
meanor. Such a law is needed trom
one end of tho land to the other.
Tennessee is rapidly lending her
•sister Southern States in industrial
development* Her Bureau of Agri
culture, through its efficient Secreta
ry. J, B. Killebrew, Esq., has pub
lished a physical survey worthy that
great State. No State east of Cali
fornia oilers such inducements to the
immigrant us Tennessee. No law
has ever been passed by the Legisla
ture more productive of real benefit
than tho measures taken to encour
age the raising of sheep. Would t hat
the Georgia Legislature could pass n
law like the one copied above.
Great preparations are being made
by the Knights of Pythias through
out the country for the parade of the
order at Washington, on tho first
Tuesday in May. Colonel S, Sands
Mills has been appointed Chief Com
mander of the Maryland delegation.
A Mod nl i :art 11
The most Important practical study
jln Agriculture Is tho radiention of
! plants. To understand this one has
'only to thoroughly understand the
1 nature of a clod of earth.
Wo saw the other duy, on a river
j plantation, near tills city, a planter
I hurrying his plowmen to finish a eer
i tain “cut” before sundown. Before
1 them was a tract of about eight, acres,
j very wet as the heavy rain had only
I censed that morning—and lie instruct
! ed them to "bed up the corn land”
through that also. The water follow
ed the farrow made by the plow. We
have no doubt but that nearly every
plantation in this country presents a
repetition of that scene. This prac
tice forms clods.
I We called up the old negro “fore
man,” und asked: “Don’t you know
that the work you are doing now, in
order to get your corn planted before
It is necessary to plant cotton, is labor
thrown away?” "Mir,” he replied;
“Don’t you know that for every day's
work you do in this stiff bottom land,
while it is wet, you will have to work j
four more days next summer than
you would if you had waited until the :
ground was dry, before plowing it?
“Yes sir,” he replied, and added:
“When the drouth comes next sum
! mer the ground will lie so hard you
i can’t get a plow in it, it will break
up in clods where you can plow it,
j and tho corn will turn yellow, and
I won’t make half a crop. That
old negro spoke wisdom, and is sus-!
| tained by the natural laws of hits- j
| bandry.
Our planters are non-residents, or|
they would learn this valuable lesson, i
Continuing our examination, we no- j
ticed, all through the bottom lands, j
the tracks of cattle deeply printed in :
the ground, thus showing their pres- j
enco on this valuable land while it j
was very wet. Wherever they step!
on wet stiff land each hoof-print will
form a clod. Each clod is tho cause
of vexation of spirit, and direct loss
to tho pocket. Why? If land is thor
oughly drained with tiles and thor- j
ougli drainage implies water drain
aye, not open ditches it is as porous
us a sponge, and each pore admits
air mid water, to circulate freely
through the soil. Obstruct the pores j
of tho skin by disease, and a chill en- 1
sue/t; make a clod, by compacting!
tiie soil and obstructing its pores and j
you chill the plant and impair its vi- j
tulity.
Tho same process, with tho excep
tion of the use of lime, is undergone j
in making a clod, as in tho manufae-;
tureof bricks. Can the tiny rootlets j
of the cereal plants penetrate and de- 1
rive nourishment from a brick? It is
just as reasonable a supposition as to j
expect a plant to thrive in a soil filled j
with clods, that admit neither light, ■
nor air, nor water. In this connec
tion, wo would suggest that Nature is !
the great storehouse of tho farmer,
and from the uniform laws that reg- j
uluto Nature’s handiwork, the farmer j
ism learn his trade. Bor example;
Nitrogen is a costly element In com
mercial fertilizers, and cheap land
can not afford to buy it, generally, in
that form.
The clover, or, where red clover!
will not grow, tho pea plant, gets an
ample supply from the atmosphere, \
and if turned under green, will, by
furnishing ammonia, double the
wheat., oats, or corn crop, the ensuing
year. In order fully to reap this bon-I
oflt, however, tho mechanical texture
of the soil must be in good condition.
Trees breathe through their leaves,
and the soil drinks through its pores.
Thorough drainage makes a wet soil
dry, and a dry, parched soil moist;
and is as necessary to the health of
the plant, as is the circulation of the
blood to tho human being. A book
might easily bo written upon the sub- i
jeot, a “Clod of Earth.”

Steps nre now being taken by several of
the States anil Kingdoms of Europe to of- j
feet an extensive substitution of gold for
silver in current use as ft circulating me
dium. There luis been recently issued in
Germany l,lH,neo,(K)o murks in gold coin,
and still a greater amount is to bo put in
circulation. A mark is equivalent to
about twenty-four cents. Belgium is put
ting out gold coin at the rate of 50,000,000
francs annually. In Holland $1:10,000,000
gold coin is needed, and France imported
last year 431.064,0*10 francs' worth of gold
more than she exported. Of course such
movements will materially affect tho rela
tive market value of gold and silver In the
markets of the world.
We hml a brief article the other
day concerning a prospective Bureau
of Weights and Measures, and now,
according to tho above statement, an
(effort is being made to substitute
j gold for silver. This lends us to write
! concerning the two measures jointly,
j and to give a resume of tho history of
' gold and silver. Gold has been
i known since the earliest antiquity.
Tho ancients drew it from Thrace, i
Macedonia and Arabia. It is found
in Piedmont, near Sulezburg, in Bra
zil, Mexico, Peru, the Dauphfne in j
France, but above all in California
and Australia. It has an accidental
existence in the silver mines of Hun
gary, Peru, New Granada, Mexico, in
I tho copper mines of thcHurtezmoun- j
tains and in Sweden. It is in several
of the American States, and in Chili,
Columbia as well as in Liberia and in
the Ural. The New World is the res
ervoir for the world of both gold and
silver.
The Guanajuato mines in Mexico
are the richest in the world; Lake
Superior ranks next. The relation of
gold to silver lias varied from time to
time. The equivalent in France in
IKS7 was 15:5 to 1, or gold of equal
weight was worth 15J times more
than silver. Tiie French metrical
system is tho most convenient in the
world, and is being generally
adopted.
The system of decimals, the weights
and measures of France, are now eur
| rent in Belgium. Switzerland and
; Italy.
This was accomplished by the mon
etiyy convention in 1803 a treaty
which only regulated economic inter
est. By this contract every debtor in
the States named can pay his debts in
gold or sliver at choice. In England.
all payments over; £2 lwo pounds ster
ling mustbopnld in gold. In Holland
and Germany silver is tho standard,
and legal payments are made in this
metal.
Now, although the law of France
gives an arbitrary relative value, tho
real value fluctuates there as in Amer
ica, though*to an exceedingly less de
gree, on account of the.absence of
general Before the
discovery of the placers of California
and Australia gold was worth more
tliun 15‘ kilogrammes silver. Silver
was then almost the sole agent of cir
culatioff. Gold was a money of luxu
ry, as it wus with us during tho war.
When gold rushed in on the European .
market from California and Australia J
at the rate of ,uuo,oof. u yonr, sil
ver began to have the premium, ow
ing to the great demand for it from
India. From 1H52 to 1815511,500,000,000f.,
exported from France, wore replaced
by 2,500,000, 000f. of gold during the i
same interval.

North Georgia seems to lie taking
i the lead in building up our State, and
! these home manufactories of all kinds |
! need only to be encouraged to render
: the Mouth wealthy and independent.
We think, however, that it would be
beneficial for Georgia manufacturers j
to advertise a little, for all the facto- :
ries in the world would do a country I
no good If theylnsist in keeping them
selves in obscurity.
Let consumers know Unit they can
got their supplies ut home, and we
venture to say that Northern orders
would be considerably reduced, -fin
rannali Adeertixer.
The above suggestion we copy from
tiie Muvannah Adrertixer.
We think the. Adrertixer must be
mistaken about North Georgia taking
the lead. Columbus claims the belt
for manufacturing. Besides the Ea
gle and Phenix, tiie Columbus, Mus
cogee, Clegg’s, and the Steam Cotton
Mills, we have in full operation the
Columbus Iron Works, a variety work j
establishment, three sash and blind!
manufactories, a kerosene oil factory,
three flour and grist mills, a stove,!
and plow manufactory, and several j
smaller manufactories.
Mr. J. Rhodes Browne, said to be
the most experienced manufacturer j
in the South, has just bought the
Steam Cotton Mill, complete in its de- j
! tails, and, with his usual energy and 1
enterprise, will commence operations
next week. We understand tie will!
I not be content with this small facto
! ry, but, in tho fall, carry out tho •
! scheme he inaugurated some time;
I since, and build a largo factory, plae- j
; ingin it the latest arid most improved j
| machinery.
Tims it will lie seen Columbus leads
'in manufacturing, and promises in a
| few years to make more goods than j
| any State in the Mouth.
! Gf.n. J, B. Hood denies tho state- I
: ment that is finding free currency in j
! the press just now, to the effect, that i
! he contemplates a removal to Minne-;
| sota, for the purpose of engaging in .
j farming. He says that when he goes .
into the farming business it will be .
in Louisiana or Texas, where ho can 1
purchase 1 letter land at cheaper rates (
than in Minnesota.
l The Birmingham (Ala.) Indeprnd- j
! ent, of the th, says that a young j
j man employed by the South and
I North Railroad Company's shops in *
that city, received a dispatch from
Orlifornia, on the 7th instant, infonn
i ing him that, his uncle died a few
days ago, in that State, leaving him
heir to nearly two millions of dollars.
Tiie gentleman’s name is Milon.
CalnilaUtix Machine A VVimilcrtul In
vention.
The machine is the result of about
ten years of labor. It was not built'
for manufacture and sale, but to see.
what it was possible to accomplish by
machinery. The machine, w hich is a
| beantifnl pleee of mechanism, sur
i prises every one when they seo it in
j operation. It will use a multiplier or
divisor of twelve figures, the multipli
cand end dividend being limited only
; by tiie number of wheels placed in
| front, to receive the answer. The
present number on tiie machine is
twenty. The machine contains over
2,100 specially formed pieces’ and in
cluding screws and rivets over 3,000.
It is probably tho most complicated
and intricate piece of mechanism ev
er constructed, and yet it works with
perfect ease and accuracy. It will
run backward as well as forward, will j
detect and show an error were it pos
sible for one to occur, ft will divide
one number by another, add the quo
tient to another number subtract or
multiply, according to choice, at one
operation. It denis with fractions us
well as whole numbers. By putting
the first power of a number into the
machine t lie powers of that number
up to the full capacity of tiie machine
can be obtained. It can also be used
as u difference engine, if desired.
The following example in com
pound interest was set into the ma
| chine and performed in forty-live
i seconds : “What is the compound of
: $5,630 75 for twenty years at seven per
! cent. Answer: $16,158 47."

i prised at the wonderful working pow

The Rational Rc/yifblleati writes the
| following libelous editorial upon
! North Carolina, and in exienuation
of previous falsehoods of its own:
“Some of our Southern exhanges
seem to be troubled with a fear that
our recent explanation of the circum
stances attending tiie invitation to
President Grant to participate in the
| Mecklenburg centennial celebration
: will have the effect to injure the Phil
adelphia Exposition. The injury lias
already been done; but it was not our
fault. It can be traced directly tothe
sectional hatred with which tiie ex
tremistsof the South view everything
that has itsorigin in the North. Those
extremists never intended to partici
pate iu the ceremonies at Philadel
phia next year, and could not now be
coaxed to do anything to advance the
interests of a national celebration,
j They will enjoy themselves in their
own way at Mecklenburg next month,
and will exclude from that enjoyment
every iiossible tiling that may remind
them of the defeat of theiruttempt to’
destroy the Union.”
Now. the fact is that the North Car
' olina legislature at its recent session
adopted resolutions warmly com
mending and supporting the Phila
delphia centennial, and it did so sev
eral weeks ago. This fact, therefore,
gives the lie direct to the mendacious
statement of Grant’s kitchen organ
! that North Carolina "never intended
to participate in the ceremonies at
Philadelphia next year.’
What is the next nnlieal lit we shall
have to nail to the counter?
Gen. Spinner, who retires as Uni
ted States Treasurer on the noth of
June next, will pass his summers at
"Hickory Grove.” his home on tho
Moliawk, in New York, and wi 1 i spend
the winters with ids daughters In
Florida. Ingoing to and returning
from Florida ho will stop several
days in Wasldngton. “This is about
tiie wav I have dreamed out how f
shall spend the remainderof my life,”
said the general. On being usKed if
he would go into any business he re
plied, “O. no; lam too old. I shall '
step hack und give the hoys a
ehunee.” j
