The “Oeorfrid lot’’ at Winchester,
Va., has 289 graves, each holding a
patriot Confederate soldier. At the
luto deco ration, the Coat of Arras of
Georgia was hung In the lot, and the
graves ! profusely decorated with
flowers.
It Is reported that the Milledgeville
Every Saturday Is dead. It died from
want of monoy and patronage. This
wo learn from exchanges, and It Is
corroborated by the fact that we
have not received a copy in three
weeks. _
Caw. Schcez, the great German- j
American politician, has been given |
a public banquet in Berlin, by the!
American residents and the Profes

Uefuse tobacco is employed to de

for a railroad station.
The Governor of Algeria has re
solved to institute periodical fairs in
the principal oasis of the Sahara
lying south of his province, with the
twofold object of opening up com
mercial relations with the natives of
Soudan, and, by familiarizing them
with Europeans, i>aving the way for
future explorers of that interesting;
part of Central Africa.

Canneu Goods. - The Nashville 1
Union and American calls attention
to the fact that most of the canned
oysters, vegetables and fruit are dc
lleient in weight about 25 per cent.;
•also that the adulteration of tin with
lead has grown so common that
lead poisoning has resulted in many
cases to consumers. It is necessary
for tho public to deal only with hon
est puckers and upright grocers.
A Manchester, England, corres
pondent of tho Now York Commercial
Adverlimr says that “the English and
other foreign manufactories will
think much more favorably of exhib
iting their goods at the Centennial
exhibition In Philadelphia, nextyear,
if thoy can be officially assured that
they will be permitted to mark them
in plain numbers with tho cost price
and the price for which they might
be sold in this country, provided
there was no American protective
tariff.”
Dissension seems to be brewing in
lowa over tho election of Dr. Eecles
ton to tho bishopric of that Protes
tant Episcopal diocese. A majority
of tiie delegates, it seems, have re
fused to sign tho credentials, and an
effort is being made to prejudice the
various standing committees against
the confirmation of the Bishop elect.
A member of tho convention lias
written a letter to Dr. Ecoleston,
stating that his oloction was secured
by bribery and misrepresentation on
the part of his friends in the conven

The Montgomery Advertiser takes
the Mobile JUghslcr to task for writ
ing such an editorial on the conven
tion as to receive tho endorsement of
tiie State Journal, a Itudieal expo
nent published in Montgomery. The
Advertise!' says the Journal has never
taken such extracts from any other
Alabama paper, and concludes as
follows: “But, yet this ltadical organ
does make such extracts from tiie
Mobile Eegister, and in terms of
praise. This itself ought to show the
Register tho danger of tho road it is
traveling. Tiie Register may well
pause when thus praised and endors
ed by this Radical journal."
Wheat.- -Should the crop north of
Tennessee and North Carolina, says
an exchange, bo cut short even to
the extent of one-fourth, it is proba
ble that this difficulty will be made up
by increased production in tho South.
All our accounts from tho Southern
wheat regions, including Texas, give
promise of good crops and an in
creased yield. More wheat was
planted in tho South last fall Mian
itsual, though still not as much as
ought to have been planted, and from
all localities the reports of tho crop
arc encouraging. It is now almost
safe from disaster. Tiie crop of Cal
ifornia, too, is represented to be in
fine condition, promising a yield
fully up to last year’s. So wo have
good reason to believe that tho wheat
•'eornerers” will play a losing game
this year.
Hon. XV, H. linn son.
A correspondent of this paper
wrote us the other day that the gen
tleman whose name heads this no
tice was dead. We did not question
the authority, and published tho
communication. Imagine our pleas
ant surprise yesterday to meet in our
sanctum Col. Davison, looking as
well and hearty as ever. He has not
even been sick, and from present ap
pearances promises a long life of con
tinued usefulness. Wo regret that
our correspondent should have caused
pain to Col. Dawson’s numerous
friends through the State, for tho no
tice of his death was generally no
ticed by our State exchanges.
We hope it will be a long time be
fore wo are call oil upon to chronicle
his death, uud that ho may long live
to illustrate Alabama’s generosity
and hospitality.
—The army worm has made Its ap
pearance in various portions of Wur

great damltqo to the crops.
Ttir Next Pres Idem.
[Man v of our exchange* oro spocu
lating concerning the Republican
candidate for tho Presidency, It
seems to its that such speculations
are entirely too premuturo. Wo are
reminded of a remark of a distin
guished friend, who says that in a
life-time of observation he lias no
ticed that editors generally are men
whom no one would voluntarily go to
for advice ip matters of business In
vestment. Tills remark is probably
well founded, and it is rare to find
the two qualities-good business qual
ifications, backed by sound judgment,
and brilliant literary talents, as strik
ing characteristics of the same man.
Of ull men, it seems to us, an editor
should “make haste slowly.” festi
na lento should be his motto ill form
ing opinions upon importantsubjeets.
As valuable as the daily newspaper is
as a vohicle of nows, unless it has cap
j ital enough to employ a large corps
of intelligent writers, it is difficult
I for it to become usufo, reliable guide,
j even under the wisest management.
When, therefore, a journal under
takes thus early to decido the ques
tion as to who will be the strongest
Republican candidate, or Democratic
candidate, for the Presidency, it is
stepping on dangerous ground. One
ill-advised act, like tiie President’s
third term letter, may change the
whole line of battlo; one unguarded
conversation with a merciless report
er may blast tho political prospects
of a prominent candidate. Do not
let us exhaust our ammunition until
the time comes.
- .
Irrigation.
The great question—for our river
planters especially—is irrigation. It
is amazing that, before the war, this
system of husbandry did not prevail,
when labor was so plentiful and
cheap. Wo suppose the virgin fertil
ity of the soil- 1 prevented. At any
| rate, we have never heard of a sys
i tematic application of irrigation on
a Southern plantation. It is evident
that the old plan of planting has im
poverished our soils and ruined the
majority of our planters. Any sensi
ble change, then, which has been
signally successful in other countries,
should receive our careful considera
tion. Nearly nil of the plantations
on the Chattahoochee below Colum
bus have large “fiats” of level allu
vial soil, varying from a quarter of a
l mile to n mile in width and nearly
double these proportions in length.
Above these are “Beech lands,” grad
ually rising until they attain a con
siderable elevation above the liver
: fiat. This high upland is generally
a level plateau, extending indefinite
ly for miles. Near tho top of this
plateau or table-land are numerous
springs, sometimes seventy-five feet
higher than the bottom land on tho
river. These springs are often large,
bold, perennial streams, with force
sufficient, to turn wajer-ginsnnd grist
mills. For this purpose these springs
have been frequently utilized; the
ponds or reservoirs are, therefore,
jilready constructed. The only ex
pense now necessary, when these
ponds are sufficiently high to afford
a gradual fall over the level fields
which we have described, is a system
of irrigating canals. Once construct
these properly, and one is independ
ent of rain or drouth, and farming
becomes a certain success, if pursued
with ordinary care, diligence and
judgment.
Mr. John Abercrombie is now ex
perimenting upon a small scale in
irrigation over a field of about, fifteen
acres. His system is simple, cheap
and effective, and if ho will keep a
regular daily account of his experi
ments in this line, and favor us with
the result, we believe lie will start
the ball in motion and be hailed ns a
public benefactor.
Want of space prevents our con
tinuing this subject to-day, but we
propose to do so until we havo
described the different systems in
vogue, wit h approximate estimates of
tho profits resulting. There arc but
few farms in our State where irriga
tion can not be profitably employed,
if people have the necessary cash in
hand and are not in 100 great a hurry
to reap small profits and thus neglect
large ones.
I'omipUim and llliirm.
Corrupt rings and corrupt men,
generally, may learn a sad lesson in
the contemplation of the condition
and situation of the fugitive Tweed
ring, that for so long ruled the local
politics of New Y’ork city. Every
body knows that Boss Tweed is set
tling his account with that city by
confinement on Blackwell’s Island.
Though possessed of great wealth,
procured through fraud and artifice,
“still ho is not happy.” Connally,
his right hand man, spends most of
his time in Egypt, and even in that
country is not respeotablo enough to
own a harem. Another prominent
actor is Tom Fields, who resides in
Belgium, and though once the happy
man with thousands, now is poor and
roams about disconsolate. A Paris
correspondent says Genet is in Spain,
and though very wealthy, yet several
times has attempted suicide. Sweeny
is in Paris with plenty of money but
no character or friends to sustain
him.
Thus it will be seen that the pri
mary actors in those gigantic frauds
are fugitives from justice, and dis
graced men in foreign lands. Their
ill-gotten gains do not bring to them
any comfort, but on the contrary the
gold in their pockets is a heavy
woight upon their conscience. “Hon
esty is the best policy,” and though
a trite saying, it sepnis tho proverb is
true. Rings and frauds will soon
play out, and honest, conscientious
men will again rule the country.
—The Savannah Advertiser says j
Sheriff Ronau, on last Saturday, sei’z- j
ed and took possession of the Snvnn-1
nail and Charleston Road and all the
rolling stock within tho State of'
Georgia, and will sell the snmo on :
tho next regular sale day, which will
be tho first Tuesday in July, unless
some settlement is made, which will
probably be tho ease.
Editorial Correspondence.
Marietta, Oa., June Bth.
Wo spent today at Marietta, tho
county sito of itho “Banner County”
of Georgia. Cobb always takes the
first premium at tho State Fair and
justly morlts its celebrity. Probably
the moat Intelligent farmers in Geor
gia live in Cobb. We found that ex
cellent lawyer and splendid soldier,
Colonel Lester, busy driving his
roapur in a wheat field. As the Colo
nel Is known all over Georgia, it is
unnecessary to say that lie lost an
arm in the Confederate service, ex
cept as a reminder to tho young men
who can not find anything to do.
This physical labor of a gentlemnn
and a gallant but maimed soldier
who Is distinguished for his attain
ments as a lawyor, should send tiie
blush of shamo to many an idler in
our cities. Col. Lester had taken the
contract for saving this wheat crop
at a certain price per acre, and if en
ergy a-id industry avails anything he
will make it pay. We hope tiie vo-,
tors of Cobb will take this Cincinna-}
tus from the field, however, and place
him in the forum. Marietta ranks us ,
the prettiest town in Georgia; and j
its quiet, moral jieaco reminds one of
“Sweet Auburn of the Vale.” Many
Northwestern men havo located In
Cobb county, and high fanning pre- j
vails. E. F. I

Editors Times: I regret exceeding-j
ly to observe that an intelligent writ
er in your paper seems to indieate j
that the several States of this Union j
are not sovereign Stales. The writer
is expressing ills views of party move
ments; proclivities and manners, in
which I will not pretend to follow
him. I might and might not concur
with him in those party views.
But, speaking as a citizen, and to
some extent a reader of history, I beg
loave to suggest, if there is any ques
tion settled by tho authoritative writ
ten testimony of the most learned
statesmen and jurists of America, of
every party and of every section, and
of the highest executive and judicial
positions, this is the one.
Of tho many judicial acknowledg
ments by the Supreme Court of the
United States of State sovereignty, I
beg leave to quote a single one, by a
unanimous decision, headed by an
old Federalists, Taney:
“And the powers of the General
Government, and of the State, al
though both exist and are exorcised
within the same territorial limits, are
yet separate and distinct sovereign
ties, acting separately and indepen
dently of each other within their re
spective spheres.” Athenian A Booth,
21; Howard, 510.
Both of these sovereignties are un
questionably limited by the Consti
tution of the United States.
Opelika.
The grasshopper plague in the
West luis directed attention to tho
terrible waste and destruction of
game that used to be so abundant in
tho country now afflicted with in
sects. Formerly, when groTtee, quail
anil other insectivorous game birds
were abundant on the prairies, jwo
ple never heard of a .grasshopper
plague. Thoy have only been known
sineo the jieople of the West have in
dulged in wanton destruction of the
birds, so that they might make mon
ey by selling their carcasses to the
Eastern markets. This is not only
true of the West, but of Georgia. Cat
erpillars were rarely known before
the war; but since freedom every ne
gro has owned a shot-gun, and his
hunting season lasts the year round.
In Columbus we have a sport men’s
association, who ha\¥ organized to
protect game, in pursuance of an act
of the Legislature. Not a week ago,
we saw a man with partridges just
able to*Hy. He shot them for the
market.
Mu. Nobdhopk, traveling corres
pondent of tho New York Herald,
concludes one of his late letters with
this powerful indictment :
“It is a solemn and undeniable fact
that the Republican rulers of Louisi
ana have disorganized society, in
stead of protecting the good citizens.
The only danger to the peace of Lou
isiana to-day lies in the corruption
and inefficiency of her rulers, who
call themselves’Republicans and have
thus gained the countenance of the
Northern Republican party and the
support of the Federal Administra
tion. These men have committed a
crime against the State and against
tho country,tho greatest crime which
civilized men ean commit; for their
misrule has struek a blow at the very
foundations of society here; they
have corrupted the public morals,
they have degraded uud debauched
the negroes, whom they were sent to
lead into the exercise of citizenship;
and, surveying the story of their mis
rule, I am constrained to say that
their plunder of tho Htate, monstrous
us it lias been, is tiie least of their
offenses, because it is a graver crime
to debauch and demoralize a State
than to steal its treasure.”
