THE DAILY TIMES Colunibimi <** TUESDAY MAY 11. 18J5. l . . Edit I M. WILLIAIU. 1 r.AitflEBT dally oleoulatioh la ()lly aad i>nr>. KJuJMLO VAX. The Timm Office baa boen removed from dun* by’s Budding to th old Enquirer Office, on Ran dolph strest, third door went of llio Post Offi**. Personal. Out Sanctum wub gladdened yester day by the presence of our accom plished friend Mr. James O. Holmes, Jr., of Charleston, H. C. “May his shadow never grow less.” The loss by the Oshkosh lire is now estimated at $2,500,000. Madame Ribtori Is delighting the Brooklyn people at the Academy of Music. It Is proposed to Introduce German and French Into the public schools of Nety York. It is said that Don Carlos intends adopting the bandit’s policy against King Alphonso. Geh. Garibaldi will make every effort to have Italy represented at the Centennial Exhibition. The cost of carrying a pistol near the residence of Prince Bismarck Is a berth In the lunatic asylum. An engineer wrs recently so treated in Berlin. ♦♦ 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 j kingdom more beautiful than the plu ; 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 brnke, the dainty little ebony Asple niurn, the lady-fern, the Felix-mas. the beeehfern, the Crystopterls, the. martial Potgxtichum acrostiehoidex, and the Mystery, so called because it positively refused to show me any seeds, so that I could not analyze it. Climbiug on half way up the' gorge I found a plateau of ferns so luxuri ant, so beautiful, that I wished I might turn into tinv Tommeiise, the old fairy tale, and live down iu the miniature tropic forest. - Constance F. Woolsnu. 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 itician will bo on tho side of tlie fence upon which he has so opportunely landed.

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.
