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. On to-mokbow let the whole Mouth, In imagination, with gentle hand re move the drapery that toil and trouble and the harrassing cares of life may have thrown over the mem ory Of TWO HUNDRED THOUSAND heroes, who bowed themselves ut the altar of a cause none tho less sacred and honorable thuti that for which Han cock labored, and for whicli Warren fell, but far more cherished by our dead Confederate patriots whose graves we decorate. To (he Uranicrr*. 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.” | Miibsllttiliim; LiiM I'or salver. 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. Yfiiiitnctiirlinr. 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." Scientific men who know the difli | culty of the undertaking have ox : pressed themselves as greatly sur i prised at the wonderful working pow :or of thismaehine. - t/juixrill l Ledger. North ('arulinn. 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 LINT OF LETT Ells Remaining in tie Pont-Omre at Coins:bie, (la, ; April anil, 1875, Mill which If not called f.,r within no yen days will lie sent tn the I)< ail Letter : Ofl!re: llaniPH W .1 MHMM- y uiimm 8 J UcaMl.-y W, c M.
