It is very difficult to ruin an honest
man. Lot a man convince all his
creditors of his determination to do
his best, to pay his just debts and try
to do right, and the people will sus

Integrity can not be concealed or
kept down. Let every man keep
cheerful then; pay all that he can;
iwlulgo in no useless extravagance;
and the public will not requireof him
more than he cun do.
Any man who makes a fortune by
honest labor Instead of speculation or

Atlanta assumes to fear the incur
sion of “Tramps.” Tho metropoli
tan character of that city is not suf
ficiently known outside its limits to
occasion any fear from tho visit of
“Tramps.” We are rather inclined
to sympathize with Northern
"Tramps,” because the insane policy
of tiie Radical party has deprived
them of the visible means of support,
and the contracted vision of North
ern oontraotionlstß puts down the
brakes and shuts off tho steam so
short that industry is idle. Idleness
being the only stock in trado possess
ed by tiie tramp (so-called), Bulwor’s
question, “Whatwill 110 do with it?”
looms. But Atlanta need not com
plain in advance—don’t borrow trou
ble, friends. “Tramps” will hardly
seek your city.

Wo think it would boa wise not on

decided testimonials of merit at the

and prices of same in each county,
be properly arranged and classified;
let Georgia hnvo a free school house,

and a description attached showing

things bo done, not la a spirit of cen
tennial glorification, but simply that
the world may know what attractions

fer to foreigners to settle in her terri
tory. Tile Centennial Exhibition
will offer to our State the grandest
and most economical advertising me
dium that she will have in the next

the insults added to the injuries in
flicted by earpet-bug rule, but let us

Mliallirw cultivation.
The tmno of Southern agriculture
is shallow cultivation, when not pre
ceded by deep tillage. It is this hur
ried system, which has so defaoed
our farms and plantations, with gul
lies that bear away to the seu the fer
tilizing salts of tho earth. Our peo
ple as a rulo follow tho old policy of
wearing out land and moving to now
places or States, or “olearlng now
ground.” When this is not done they
too often eontinuo to cultivate large
areas that cannot possibly pay book
tho cost of cultivation. Glance at
tho cultivated crops ulong the line of
railways in Georgia, and this fact be
comes patent to the most casual ob
server. It is an unfortunate truth
that light soils are best suited to tiie
cotton plant, and that tlie theory of
the cotton plunter causes him to
“scarify” the surface, rather than to
prepare Ills land thoroughly for a
iurgo yield by deep preparation.
Tho popular fallacy that cotton
won’t grow until it strikes hard
ground is sufficiently refuted by the
crops in the Mississippi Valley,
which produces tho finest yields per
acre known, and which contains no
“hard ground” within ten feotof the
surfaco. Tiie inexhaustible supply
of humus on tlioso alluvial lands
makes the soil so porous and “mel
low,” that deep preparation is un
necessary ; but on our stilt river
bottoms, and upon red uplands, there
is a clay subsoil, perhaps four Inches
from tiie surface, which, unless it is
thoroughly brokon, forms a con
crete bottom impervious to water.
Tho roots of plants therefore are
stojiped likewise when they reach
tiiis clay sub-soil, and can not pene
trate downwards as nature requires
for full and vigorous development.
The model farmer of England, Mr. J.
J, Moehi, says; “Roots of wheat and
many other plants descend for sever
al feet when they ure permitted to
do so, either by tho natural condi
tion, or tho disturbed condition of
the sub-soil.” Cotton takes less from
the soil when all is returned to the
field savo tho lint, than any other
plant. How then does it happen that
cotton culture rapidly impoverishes
the soil ? The chief reason has been
already given, and the next is this:
Constant tillage and clean culture
tend rapidly to exhaust the humus
in tho soil, tho hot sun penetrating
tiie naked earth as far as the one
horse plow lias gone. If, now, a two
horse plow hod broken the soil to the
depth of fifteen inches supiplomented
by tho sub-soil plow, the destruction
of humus is the more gradual, uud,
ifa proper rotation of small grain
and peas—or clover when it will
grow—bo followed, this sub-soil need
never bo broken but once, and tiie
cotton crop will increaso annually in
value without deteriorating the soil
appreciably.
Wo know of but one planter who
uses two-horso plows extensively, and
wo are satisfied that ho Ims doubled
his cotton crop whenever he has turn
ed under stubble and grass in the
Bull.
Lot our planters each buy at once
one plow for this purpose, ami if ho
turns under his stubble next month
for cotton land next year, he will nev
er fall to do it every year.

The following rules are recom
mended to the attention of those
who do business at tho banks. Tney
will be the means of saving a great
deal of time and annoyance—by not
following them:
1. If you have any business with a
hank put it off until throe o’clock, or,
if possible, a little later, as it look*
more businesslike to rush in as the
bank is closing.
2. Never put stamps on your checks
before you get to the bank, but give
the teller two cents, and ask him to
lick it ami cancel it for you ; the tel
ler expects to lick all the stamps,
and it is a source of disappointment
to him when people insist on doing
it themselves, and will save him buy
ing his lunch.
In depositing money try and get
it upside down and wrong end fore
most, so that the teller may have a
little exorcise in straightening it up
before counting it.
•1. It is best not to take your bank
book with you, but call at another
time and have it entered. You can
thus make two trips to the bauk
where one would answer.
5. If a check is made payable to
your order, be careful not to endorse
it before handing it to the teller, but
let him return it to you and wait
while you indorse it; this helps to
pass the time, and is a pleasure and
relief to ttie teller.
G. You can generally save time
when making a deposit by counting
down your money to the teller, as
you can nearly always count more
speedily and correctly than lie can.
7. If you make a deposit of SIOO
and give a check for s‘>o, it is a good
thing to call frequently at the bank
and ask how your uceount stands as
it impresses the officers favorably
with your business qualifications.
8. Never keep any record when your
notes full due, and then, if they are
protested, censure the bank for not
giving you notice.
9. Always date your checks ahead,
it is a never-failing sign that you
keep a good balance in bank; or, if
you do not wish it generally known
that you arc doing a good business,
do hot deposit your money until
about tlie time you expect your cheek
will be in.
10. In depositing money never
make out a deposit ticket. The tel
ler lias the blanks in his ease for that
purpose, and expects to fill them out
himself. It annoys him to have you
offer to do it; besides, if others are
waiting, it gives them a chance to
exercise patience, which is a great
virtue.
11. In receiving money from a tel
ler, never say in advance how you
want it, but hand back each note
separately, and ask him to break it.
A strict observance of the foregoing
rules will make your account desira
ble for any bank, and make you a
general favorite with all the bank of
ficers.
We met a successful vice planter
at llalton, who stated that he did not
believo in I’oor Richards or Cinein
natus, and that, while lie had never
touched a plow, he had never failed
to carry his silk umbrella in the field
with him in summer. That man is
not a demagogue. We believe him.

Miss Oljve Logan gushes amusing
ly over tho negro waiters at Long
Branch. “Some of them,” stie says,
in u letter to the Graphic, “ore not
merely handsome—they are distin
guished looking. Fine thin lips,
aquiline noses, shining, wavy, ebon
locks—these are all positive adjuncts
of beauty; and the complexions of
many are in no degree darker than
those of the Spaniards and Mexicans
whom they serve.” The waiter at
her table “is one of those soft, kind,
restful Southern negroes whom we
nil love. 'He puts mo in mind of my
old mammy,’ said a Southern lady
the other day. She did not mean her
mother, but she meant her foster
mother, in whose black breast she
found the fount of life. Ho is so
kind, so obliging, so gentle.”

The chivalrous Gen. George H.
Pickett, of Virginia, whose death was
recently announced, was one of the
most gallant and effective division
commanders that the late war devel
oped. At tho battle of Gettysburg,
on the third day of the fight, Gen.
Lee, having been successful In his
attempts to break tho Federal wings,
concluded to throw a heavy column
of infantry against Cemetery Hill,
the enemy’s center, capture their
guns and turn them on either wing of
their army, when tho defeat of Gen.
Meade would necessarily follow. The
troops to do this work, upon the ac
complishment of which the battle,
and most probably tho Confederacy,
depended, must be men stern as tiie
heroes of Thermopylie und Ballakla
va; going to death as lover to his
bridal bod; leaping to the fray with
tho courage of lions in their hearts.
And from all his army of battle tried
veterans whom did the immortal Lee
select to make this desperate charge,
and whom to lead them? A gallant
son of Virginia, the eloquent John
Estln Cooke, thus tells of tho charge
and those who so gallantly made it:
For tho hard work ut hand, Pick
ett’s division of Virginia troops,
which had just arrived and were
fresh, was selected. These were to
be supported by Heth’s division of
North Carolina troops, under Gen.
Pettigrew, who was to move on Pick
ett’s left, and a brigade of Hill's, un
der Gen. Wilcox, was to cover the
right of the advancing column and
protect it from a Hunk attack.
The advance of the charging col
umn was preceded by a tremendous
artillery fire, directed from Seminary
Ridge at tho enemy’s left and centre.
This began about an hour past noon,
and tho amount of thunder thus loos
ed will be understood from the state
ment that Lee employed 145 pieces
and the enemy replied with so in till
225 guns—all discharging at tho same
time. For nearly two hours this
frightful hurly-burly continued.
While this artillery duel was in
progress the charging column was
being formed on the west of Semina
ry Ridge, opposite the Federal centre
on Cemetery Hill. Pickett drew up
his line with Kemper’s and Garnett’s
brigades in front and Armstead’s
brigude in rear. Tho brigade under
Gen. Wilcox took position on the
right, and on tiie left was placed tlie
division under Pettigrew, which was
to participate in the charge. The
force numbered between twelve and
fifteen thousand; but, as will bo seen,
nearly in the beginning of tho action
Pickett was left alone, and thus his
force of about five thousand was all
that went forward to pierce the centre
of the Federal army.
The opposing ridges at this point
are about one mile asunder, ana over
this space Pickett moved at tho word
his line advancing slowly, and per
fectly “dressed,” with its red buttle
fiags flying and the sunshine darting
from the gun barrels and bayonets.
Tho two armies were silent,, concen
trating their whole attention upon
tills slow and ominous advance of
men who seemed in no haste and re
solved to allow nothing to arrest
them. When the column had reach
ed a point about midway between the
opposing heights the Federal artille
ry suddenly opened a furious tire
upon them, which inflicted consider
able loss. This, however, had no
effect upon the troops, who continued
to advance slowly in the same excel
lent order, without exhibiting any
desire to return tlio lire.
It was impossible to witness this
steady and well ordered march under
heavy fire without feeling admiration
for the soldiership of the troops who
made it. When shell tore gaps in tlio
ranks the men quietly closed up, and
the hostile front advanced in the
same ominous silence toward the
slopo where the real struggle, all felt,
would soon begin.
They were within a few hundred
yards of the hill when suddenly a
rapid cannon fire thundered on their
right, and shell and euunister from
fifty pieces or artillery swept the
Southern line, enfilading it, and for
an instant throwing the right into
some disorder. This disappeared at
once, however. The column closed
up aiui continued to advance unmov
ed toward the height.
At last the moment came. The
steady “common time” step had be
come “quick time;" this had chang
ed to “double quick;” then the col
umn rushed headlong at the enemy’s
breastworks on the slope of the lull.
As thev did so, the real thunder be
gan. A fearful musketry fire burst
forth and struck them in the face,
and this hurricane© scattered the raw
troops of Pettigrew as leaves are scat
tered by a wind. That whole portion
of tlio line gave way in disorder and
tied from the field, which was strew
ed with their dead; and, ns Wilcox
had not moved so as to keep up, the
Virginians, under Pickett, were left
alone to breast tlio tempest which
had now burst upon them in ail its
furv.
They returned the fire from the
breastworks in their front with a
heavy volley, and then, with loud
cheers, dashed at the enemy’s works,
which they reached, stormed ami
took liossession of it at the point of
the bayonet. Their loss, however,
was frightful. Gen. Garnett killed ;
Gen. Armistead fell, mortally wound
ed, as he leaped on the breastworks,
cheering and waving his hat; Gen.
Kemper was shot and disabled, and
the ranks of the Virginians were
thinned to a handful. The men did
not, however, pause.
The enemy had partiully retreated
from their first line of breastworks to
a second and stronger one, about six
ty yards beyond, and near the crest,
and here the Federal reserve, as
Northern writers state, was drawn up
“four deep.” This line, bristling
with bayonets and cannon, the Vir
ginians now charged, in the desper-
ate attempt to storm it with the bay
onet and pierce, in a decisive man
ner, the center of the Federal army.
But tho work was too great for their
powers. As they made their brave
rush they were mot by a concentrat
ed fire full in their faces, and on both
flanks at the same moment.
This fire did not so much cause
them to lose heart, as literally hurl
them back. Before it the whole
charging column seemed to melt and
disappear. The bravest now saw that
further lighting was useless—that the
works In their front could not be
stormed and, with the frightful fire
of the enemy still tearing their lines
to pieces, the poor remnants of the
brave division ret routed from the hill.
As they fell back, sullen, like bull
dogs from whom their prey had been
snatched just as it was In their grasp,
tiie enemy pursued them with a de
structive fire both of cannon and
musketry, which mowed down large
numbers, if large numbers, indeed,
can be said to have been left.
The command hail been nearly an
nihilated. Three generals, fourteen
field officers and three-fourths of tiie
men were dead, wounded and pris
oners. Tho Virginians had done all
that could bo done by soldiers. They
had advanced undismayed into the
foetis of a fire unsurpassed, perhaps,
in the annuls of war; had fought bay
onet to bayonet; had left the ground
strewed witli their dead; und the
small remnant who survived were
now sullenly retiring, unsubdued;
and if repulsed, not “whipped.”
Hueli was the last charge at Gettys
burg. Lee had concentrated in it all
his available strength, it seemed.
When it failed, the battle und the
campaign failed with it.
