♦♦
The Democracy of Kentucky have
nominated Hon. James B. McCreary
for Govornor. Ho is a gentleman of
middle ago, of culture, integrity, and
fine porsonal record.
The twentieth annual convention of
the Young Men’s Christian Associa
tion is to bo held in Richmond this
year, beginning on the 26th Inst., this
being the first event of the kind in
the South since the commencement
of the civil war.
The Mexican Telegraph.— Among
the numerous improvements achieved
and proposed in Mexico, to which
President Ledro refers in his rocont
messago to Congress, is the fact that
since 1872 there have been 1,350 miles
of telegraph linos and put in opera
tion.
The Presbyterian Synod, now In
session in London, has approved the
efforts of the revivalists Messrs.
Moody and Sankey. This relieves
those gentlemen of the imputation of
being fanatical and shallow reasoners
The Presbyterians rarely make efforts
to proselyte and are not given to
ranting street preaching.
The meeting between Vice Presi
dent Wilson and Goneral John C.
Breckenridgo, at tho home of Gene
ral Breckonridge, was very affecting.
We are confident that Mr. Wilson’s
Southern tour will change his views
as completely as those of Mr. Kelley
were changed, concerning tho folly
of prosoriptive legislation towards
the South.
It is likely that Gov. Tilden, aided
by Mr. Charles O’Connor, will recov
er about six millions which Tweed
transferred to his friends when ho
found that his conviction was immi
nent. It is refreshing in these degen
erate days to find an instance in
which the law really promotes tho
aims of justice.
The Beecher Case.—The testimony
of Henry C, Bowen is certainly dam
aging to the veracity of Mr. Beecher.
Ho flatly contradicts tho statements
made by the Munchausen Pastor.
That arch-Pantarehlst (so self-called)
Stephen Pearl Andrews, also throws
his weight against Beecher. Bessie
Turner is contradicted flatly, aud
either sbo or her accuser is guilty of
heroic lying.
It Is suggested that Athletic games
bo introduced in Central Park, New
York.
Nothing Contributes more to the
physical development of Englishmen
than "cricket,” and other out-of-door
sports. The physical is too much
neglected in American education, and
the mind is ‘crammed’ too fast by in
tense study in tho early years of
childhood. Too much stress cannot
be placed upon this fact, and wo are
surprised that no improvement is
suggested by the many leading men
who attend our educational conven
tions.
At present tho grass Is six iuohes
high on tho Walla Walla Hills, and
the stock is fattening rapidly.
Wo have in our office specimens of
blue grass and red top twelve inches
high; orchard grass and herds’
grass, timothy and red clover more
than twelve iuohes. These grasses
were out last week in Bartow county,
Georgia. The Baptist Church yard
ol Ooiumhns is a beautiful sight at
present. Tho grass—chiefly blue
grass—will average a ton per (tore,
we think, if cut now. People need
not go out of Georgia to find line
grass crops.
Bj H. Hill has been-elected to Con
gress from the North Georgia Dis
trict. Another ex-rebel General.—
Cincinnati Enquirer.
This Is bows to us. Mr. Hill never
had any military title in the Confed
erate army, nor has he ever before
held office under the U. S. Govern
ment, Ha was a Confederate Con
gressman and his record as a Senator
was vary brilliant. This statement
seems suporlluous to Georgians, who
will be surprised to learn that one of
the leading papers of the country
knows so little of him.
The Washington Chronicle has the
following, shoe ing similar ignorance:
Unless appearances are very de
oeptlvßOaflt. B. H. Hill will be the
next Congressmaii from the Ninth i
Georgia District, (fentraetors should
sendln their bids for the strong iron
screen to be placed between Gen.
Hill and Mr. Alexander H. Stephens
In the House of Representatives.
THE CiEOI.oeiCAI. JHinE.tr.
We spent several hours last Satur
day in examining the collection of
minerals and metals in tho oflioe and
cabinet of the State Geologist and in
conversation with Prof. George Little.
Of all the appropriations made by
tho State looking towards tho devel
opment of tho State, we consider this
bureau to be tho best and most satis
factory in its results.
Prof. Little was commissioned on
the 31st of August lost. On the 10th
September he started from Atlanta,
accompanied by his two assistants,
A. R. McCutcheon of LaFayetto, and
W. S. Schley of Savannah. Thoy
traversed Douglas, Carroll, Haralson,
Paulding and Cobb counties. From
Marietta Mr. Littlo went through
Cherokee, Plekens, Gilmer, Murray,
Whitfield and Gordon counties. Mr.
Schley went through Bartow, Pick
ens, Gilmer, Fannin, Murray, Whit
field and Gordon counties. Mr. Mc-
Cutcheon went through Walker, Chat
tooga, Dodo and Cutooso counties.
They all met at Adairsvllle, from
which point they made a survey of
Bartow county, of which a map has
been prepared, showing tho “locality
and extent of all water powers, woods,
roads, springs and water courses,” as
far as possible. Tho public will ap
preciate the value of tho services of
these gentlemen to the State when we
reflect upon the short time in which
they have been engaged In prosecu
ting their researches, and the time
necessary to transfer these results to
a map and made intelligible to the
casual visitor. Just here we will di
gress in order to throw a little light
upon said map. Tho general features
of the different portions of Bartow
county only aro given, but in the map
prepared for examination in the coun
ty proper (which can be seen in the
office of Col. Abda Johnson, at Cur
tcrsvillo,) certain details are noticed
that are not visible upon the geologi
cal map of Bartow county found in
the capitol building at Atlanta. For
example: the valley in which Pettit’s
creek runs is described us lying in
tho sandstone and slute formation
("which makes a poor soil,; while on
both sides of that stream limestone
is vory prominont, and equally prom- i
irtent, we may say, as can be found in
any part of the county a large area
of which is described as limestone.
This fact is proved by tlie report of
Prof. Little, in which, in describing
the furnaces located on Stamp creek,
he says; “These furnaces have an
abundant supply of water power, but
the limestone is hauled from tho Ten
nessee road, about live miles distant, j
from Ward’s furnace.” Now, the
Tennessee road is almost parallel
witli Pettit’s creek, which is, in no
[dace, more titan a half mile west of
tlie road; and the limestone forma
tion extends about ns far west of the
creek as it does east of it towards the
Tennessee road. Prof. Little very
kindly showed us a map in his private
oflioe, in which tho line of the lime
stone was clearly defined on Pettit’s
creek—just as we have asserted—and
we hope it will also be introduced in
the map on exhibition. We do not
doubt, however, tliut any one enquir
ing of Prof. Little, regarding any
county surveyed by him, would be
informed of t his as well as many oth
er points material to a purchaser
which our very limited knowledge of
tho subject could never suggest.
One who desired to purchase a lime
stone farm would scarcely bny a farm
in the sandstone-slate formation, if
he took the trouble to examine into
the matter thoroughly.
In order to illust rate the great prno
tical importance of this physical sur
vey of Georgia, we quote from Prof.
Little’s report: “In many places I
found parties most of them poor
men—wasting their time and energy
in digging pits, long tunnels and
huge excavtions, where the rocks on
the surface afforded no indications of
metals, being misled by some similar
ity in the surface rock to that found
at Wood’s and at Ducktown, known
an ‘Gossan,’ which is the result of
oxidation of iron pyrites, in some
eases, as the two mentioned, accom
panied by copper pyrites. In other
cases, misled by a set of men who had
visited localities where valuable met
als had boen found, and with an air
of wisdom and a great deal of posi
tiveness, declare that gold, silver,
copper or tin will bo found at certain
points, pointed out by them, for
which information they receive valu
able fees.” And the poor farmers
waste time and money in the useless
search.
A lOKRF-spoNDEHT writes that the
grasshoppers are very thick in San
Antonio, Monterey county. He says
the rich and beaut iful green of spring
is rapidly fading to the summer brown
in the Salinas Valley.
In California, as well as tlie rich
prairies of the West-Northwest, grass
hoppers and potato beetles are as
great pests as aro the caterpillars in
the cotton States. We believe a gen
eral system of rotation of crops,
whereby a field is only planted it cot
ton one or two years in succession,
would ultimately place the ravages
of caterpillars where they were before
the war. In North Georgia, where
there are large fields of small grain,
grasses, clover and eorn, and but
“patches” of cotton, the caterpillar is
not at all dreaded. Tlie theory that
fertilizers cause their rapid develop
ment is erroneous. Tho reason why
caterpillars take to the fertilized cot
ton first is because it contains richer
properties than the cotton not stimu
lated to excessive growth.
War-likc Mews train Kuri>|>r.
The correspondent of the London
Timm at Paris predicts an early war,
and thinks it dependent upon the
meeting of tho Emperor of Germany
and the Czar of Russia.
Messieurs Thiers, McMahon, De-
Buffet and Gainbetta are ail united
in their e(Torts to secure an alliance
with Russia, and the neutrality of
Austria and Italy in case war is de
clared between France and Germany. 1
The Black Hills.
As wo expected, tlie Government
tliut robbed Mrs. Lee of her property
at Arlington by the illegalities of
law, will soon rob tho Sioux of their
rich possessions in the Black Hills.
This will be done we suppose by
trifling presents to Spotted Tail and
Bed Cloud, chlefsof tho Sioux nation,
and by negotiations wtileo will enrich '
tlie Orville Grants that, conduct tlie ■
“ways that are dark’’ to successful
robbery of the Indians. Who can j
wonder that the Indians pale away
before tho march of civilization?!
The London Standard is right in say-!
ing “the results of the Republican i
experiment in the United States are
corruption of public life, extinction
of public spirit, oppression of the
minority, disgust of honorable men ,
with politics and the transfer of the
government into the hands of cor
rupt and unscrupulous and ignorant j
men.”
- e e - -
I'll title opinion.
No party that Mr. Halstead or Mr.
Sehurz, or any other such “indepen-1
(lent” people can now organize will
be any more than grit in two great ]
cog-wheels in 1876, and the chances
of Mr. Adams and Mr. Evarts arc
equally insignificant.- Wilmington
(Jji'U Commercial (Adin. liep.)
It will be the effort of the Indepen
dents to bring such influence to bear!
on the purties that one or the other
of them will take anew departure in
respect to the policy of the future.
Whether anything more will be at
tempted depends upon the measure,
of success of this effort. —Cincinnati
Commercial (Ind.)
To suppose that the Republican
party can win at the next Presiden
tial election by mere patronage and
strategy is wonderfully to miscalcu
late the chances of the race. Its lead
ers must take counsel of the “inde
pendent voters,” who do their own
thinking, or they will most likely
succeed in achieving their own defeat.
The Independent.
We do not think that there need be
any great apprehension that the “in
dependent voters” will swallow up
or overslaugh either of the old polit
ical parties. Tlie Republicans got
along without this element in the
last national campaign, and the Dem
ocrats were sufferers from having
been taken in by it. Neither party
will be inclined to concede very much
to it next year.—Syracuse Journal
(Adm. liep.)
The Southern l*aeittc Itallrnail.
First—That a competing railway
between the Atlantic and Pacific
oceans was a natural necessity.
Second - That it would practically
save the Government many millions
of dollars annually in tlie mainten
ance and transportation of troops in
the Southern Territories, aud that
this saving would amount to more
per annum than tho interest on the
entire cost of the road.
Third That it was an act of justice
to the South, und would do more to
rebuild it and restore its prosperity
than any other measures that could
be devised; and,
Fourth -That it would do much to
revive the present depressed condi
tion of the country, and by starting
mines, mills and furnaces, would give
employment to many thousands of
laboring men now in actual want.
This is Colonel Scott’s view of the
question.
Cun trait lull ot the (iirriui-y.
That able financier, John Thomp
son, of New York, foots up the con
traction of pai>er currency whieli has
taken place since tlie passage of re
cent acts of Congress, at the round
sum of $17,000,000. He says there is
an active continuance of the move
ment in the same direction. If this
is true—and there is no reason to
doubt it—there may be some pros
pect of the gold premium falling un
til it shall go to about 110. It is said
to be the purpose of the Government
not to put in circulation any of the
silver coinage, in pursuance of the
Resumption Act; ns, with gold rang
ing above that quotation, the coin
would be bought up for export. If
the. premium on gold shall not de
cline to this point, either from cur
rency contraction or other cause, the
silver resumption scheme will have
to lie abandoned. -San Franc'mco
Morning Call.
GroesbecKOutdone. We stated tin
other tiay that Hon. William*. Groes
bock, of Cincinnati, hod presented
$50,000 to the Burnett Woods Park in
that city to defray the expense of
music—presumably in the employ
ment of bands to discourse as they
do certain days of the week on Bos
ton Common and in the grounds of
the Presidential Mansion at Wash
ington City. This act of generosity,
so appropriate for the enterttuinmeut
of the public at large, has just been
excelled by an unknown bachelor,
aged eighty years, in New York. Hr
has a fortune of four millions, and
with the exception of a few small be
quests to relations, devotes the whole
of it to tho founding of a college of
music in that city. Among tlie trus
tees to take charge of the fund apiicur
the names of Cornelius Vanderbilt
and William B. Astor.
I A correspondent of the New York
| Tribune says : It mostly happens,
I when the subject of free trade is dis
cussed in Eugland, whether by Eng
lishmen or Frenchmen, that the
United States is held up as an awful
example of the wickedness of protec
tion. M. Chevalier’s -after dinner
speech proves no exception to the
rule. However much, said he, the
great republic may be deluded by the
apparent charms of protection, we
[must in the end follow the tide of
j free trade.
Ferns Along (he French Urnail.
1 Is there any tiling In the vegetable

; my green grace of ferns? Like moon
light to the noonday sunshine, like
Schubert's Serenade on the violon
cello to Rubinstein's Russian Hymn
played by a full orchestra, like Un
dine to one of the French stage hero
ines of the day, 90 are the forest ferns !
to the ranks of garden flowers. Robed
ever in green, wild, shy, and beauti
ful, they nestle behind the rocks,
wave by the brooksidos, and hide in
tho still dnrk glens, and the lovers of
ferns are bound together the world
overby that very tie that they do
love them, needing no other intro
duction —reason sufficient for friend
ship between strangers, between the
working gardener and the'million
aire. Although a beginner, with un- 1
I skilled eyes, 1 collected along the
French Broad twelve different kinds
—the polypody, the maidenhair, the
bracken, the Cheiianthes, tho eliff

positively refused to show me any

Climbiug on half way up the' gorge
I found a plateau of ferns so luxuri

The New York Tribune remarks
that Judge Kelley, who has recently
visited the Southern States, need not
fear to stand by tils now opinions.
As yet be bus received little except
praise for his honest avowals, and
pretty soon nearly every shrewd pol

APPLETONS’
American Cyclopaedia.
New Revised Edition.
Eutirely rewritten by tho ablest writers ou every
subject. Printed from new type, and illus
trated with Kereral Thousand KngravJugs
and Map*.
The work originally published under the title j
of The Nkw American Cyulopkuia was com- |
plated iu lw;3, since which time the wide oirculu- ,
tlou which it has attained in all i>arts of the |
United States, and the signal developments which |
have taken place in every branch of science, lit- I
ersture and art. have induced the editors and j
publishers to submit it to an exact and thorough
revision, and to issue anew edition entitled Thk
American Cycloi*.*dia.
Within the last ton years tho progress of dis
covery iu every department of knowledge has j
made anew work of reference an imperative
want.
The movement of polities! affairs has kept poee
with the discoveries of science, und their lruitlul |
application to the industrial and useful arts and j
the convenience and refinement of social life. )
Great wars and consequent revolutions have oc
curred. involving national changes of peculiar
moment. The civil war of our own country,
which was at its height when the last volume of
the old work appeared, has happily been ended,
and anew course of commercial and industrial
activity has been commenced.
Large accessions to our geographical knowl
edge have been made by the indefatigable ex
plorers of Africa.
The great political revolutions of the last de
cade, with the natural result of the lapse of time. |
have brought into public view u multitude of new
iueu, whose names are in every one’s mouth, and
of whose lives every one is curious to know the
particulars. Great battles have been fought and
important sieges maintained, of which the de
tails are as yet preserved only in the newspapers
or iu the transient publications of the day, but
which ought now to take their place iu perina- |
lient and authentic history.
Iu preparing the present edition for the press, j
it has accordingly been the aim ot the editors to
bring down the information to the latest possi
ble dates, and to furnish an accurate account of
the most recent discoveries in science, of every
fresh production in literature, and of the newest
inventions in the practical arts, as well as to give
a succinct and original record of the progress of
political and historical events.
The work has been begun after long and care
ful preliminary labor, and with the most amide
resources for carrying it on to a successful term
ination.
None of the origiual stereotype plates have
been used, but every page lias been printed on
new type, forming iu lact a new’ Cyclopaedia, with
the same plan and compass as its predecessor,
but with a far greater pecuniary expenditure,
aud with such improvements iu its composition
as have been suggested by longer experience and
enlarged knowledge.
The illustrations which aro introduced for the
first time in the present edition have been added
not for the sake of pictorial fleet, but to give
greater lucidity aud force to the explanations in I
the text. They embrace all brandies of science !
and of natural history, and depict the most j
famous and remarkable features of scenery, |
architecture and art. as well as the various pro
cesses of mechanics aud manufactures, j
Although intended for instruction rather than I
embelishutent. no pains have been spared to in
sure their artistic excellence; the cost of their]
execution is enormous, and it is believed they
will find a welcome reception as an admirable
feature of the Cyclopedia, and worthy of its
high character.
This work is sold to Subscribers only, payable |
on delivery of each volume. It will be completed j
in sixteen large octavo volumes, each containing j
about 800 pages, fully illustrated with several
thousand Wood Engravings, and with numerous i
colored Lithographic Maps.

THK SUN.
DAILY AND WEEKLY FOE 1875.
I The approach of the Presidential election gives
| unusual importance tv> the events and develop-
I merits of 1875. We shall endeavor to describe
| them fully, faithfully and fearlera’y.
j THE WEEKLY HUN has now attained a circula
| tion of over eighty thousand copies. Its readers
i are found iu every State and Territory, aud Its
| quality is well kuowa to the public. We shall
not only endeavor to keep it fully up to the old
I standard, but to improve and add to its variety,
: and power.
j THE WEEKLY SUN will continue to be a thor
j ough newspaper. All the news of the day will be
found iu it, condensed when unimportant, at
[ full length when of moment, and always, we
j trust, treated in a clear, interesting aud instruct
| ive manner.
- It is our aim to make tho Weekly Sun tho best
| family newspaper iu the world. It will be full of
entertaining aud appropriate reading of every
j sort, but will print nothing to offend the most
! sornpnbm* and delicate taste. It will always
I contain the most interesting stories and ro
, mauces of the day, carefully selected aud legibly
j printed.
j The Agricultural Department i a prominent
: feature in the Weekly Sun, and its articles Will
i always be found fresh and useful to the farmer,
i The number of men independent in polities is
j increasing, and the Weekly Sun is their paper
especially. It belongs to no party, and obeys no
dictation, contending for principle., aud lor the
election of the best men. It exposes the corrup
tion tliut disgraces the country and threatens the
] overthrow of republican institution*. It has no
j fear of knaves, and seeks no favors from their
j supporters.
, The markets of every kind and the fashions
! are regularly reported.
j The price ef the WEEKLY HUN is one dollar a
j year for a sheet of eight page*, and fifty-six col- j
umns. As this barely pays tho expenses of paper !
I and printing, we are not able to make any dia- j
count or allow any premium to friends who may I
make special efforts to extend its circulation, j
I Under the new law. which requires payment of I
! postage in advance, one dollar a year, with twenty I
j ecu is the wist of prepaid postage added, in the {
rate of subscription. It is not necessary t*> get ■
| up a club in order to have the Weekly Sun at this
I rate. Any one who sends one dollar and twenty j
cents will get the paper, postpaid f<*r one year. |
Wo have no traveling agents.
THE WEEKLY HUN—Eight pages. 56 columns, j
Only $1.20 a >ear. postage prepaid. No discount ,
from this rate.
