The rumor which has been afloat the last two days to the effect that, the Governor intends to call the Legislature to gether three weeks earlier than usual we are satisfied, is unfounded. So far as careful inquiry could go, we have been unable to And the author ship of the rumor or to get the slightest confirmation of it. Atlanta Constitution. Gen.

He is employed b> the State to assist iii the argument before the Supreme Court of the Uni ted States for the validity of the St te tax upon railroads as provided for at tho lust session of the Legislature.

This cotton grew after the rains set in—too late to iierfectly mature.— Sanderville Herald. Immigration to Floyd County. There have been quite, a number of farmers here from middle and lower Georgia on the lookout for lauds to cultivate. Several huve rented and have gone back to move up their families. Some are hero now with their families for that purpose. They say they prefer this section of the country on account of the climate and water, but more particularly on account of being able to raise mixed crops, which they cannot do more successfully in the lower part of the State. Rome Courier. —Hon. J. W. Wofford, State Sena tor from Bartow county, tins resigned his seat as a member of the Georgia Senate, and the Governor has accept ed the same. The reason assigned fortius course is that the time or con vening the General Assembly and of Bartow Superior Court Is during the same week in January. Mr. Wofford adds: "Immediately upon the ad journment of liartow court, other courts convene where I have business and where I am obliged to neglect mv clients. The whole of the consti tutional term of forty days allowed for the legislative session is covered by the courts referred to. * " * In n time of peace and quiet, when t here is nothing but ‘hard times’ to break the monotony of current events, an annual expense of a SIOO,OHO for fi’ffis lation is too much to pay for it. For a year or so after Gov. Bullock ab sconded, a good deal of law making and investigation was necessary in order to re-adjust the disjointed af fairs of the State government. But all that has been done, and for the future a session every two years is quite us often as there will be any call for legislation. A little examina tion of the class work with which the last few sessions have been engaged, will satisfy anyone I am right in this. I do hope to see a move made at the noxt session to change tho Constitu tion in conformity to the suggestion hero made.” Atlanta Constitution: Wo are indebted to Dr. T. P. Janes, Com into; siouer of Agriculture, for the follow ing copy of a letter from a distin guished pluuter of Liberty county, Georgia, to him: “Just after the war about 1868, two negroes raised in tnis county bought an improved place of forty acres, lying midway between stations 2 and 3 of the Atlantic and Gulf Railroad, remote about four miles from the road. They planted, after the usual man ner, corn, cotton, rice peas and, I think, oats. They cropped thus for three years, the land gradually de generating, only such portions of it as they were able to manure. During the spring of 1871 they noticed a strange weed growing in the fields and coming up thickly after the crops were laid by. It continued to spread and grow thicker all over the field until every foot of ground, if left un cultivated, would be covered by it. It was soon discovered that it rooted out the common grasses and weeds, taking entire possession. It was feared that it would be a worse enemy than Bermuda or nut grass, but it is now known not to be an enemy, but a blessing providential, for the re claiming of this poor old worn out THE DAILY TIMES section of the State. Since its first, appearance on this one place four years ago, it ha* spread to other places, so that fields several miles distant have now become covered with it. It seeds heavily, the seed remaining in the ground all winter and coming up in spring. Like seed of crab grass, it makes no difference how deep they are buried, they do not rot, but will come up, even late in the fall. It is not an early grower, and hence never guts in the way ot young crops, rarely getting up before Mav or June. The first light frosts of fall almost always kills It. While cattle and horses eat it with great rel ish, both green and cured, there may be some objection to it. as a forage plaut from (ho fact that after it is cured, if roughly handled, it loses its leaves. The vines contain so much moisture it is liable to mold if pack ed in bulk. Asa fertilizer it is unsur passed. Ou one of the places where it grows it was turned under in its green state last tall on about two acres. On an adjoining two acres it was allowed to stand un i die, the ground being broken this past spring, and fertilized with stable ma nure. The four acres wore planted in corn, cultivated ail alike, and when gathered the green soil manure yielded two bushels to one of the stable manure. The dry season, however, prevented tlie stable manure from having its full effect. Tu land that is at all “lively" in plowing it it is necessary to use a good plow with a “sword attachment, or it will choke every five feet. The plant somewhat re sembles the pea vine; the leaves dif fer, ns also do the seed pods. When thickly sot. its branches grow tip: when ' thinly sot they spread out on the ground. There is but one main root,; it docs not send down roots from the joints, no mat ter how long the vines may be. nit i/i r. financial and business matters. The financial and commercial in terest of the Empire are in an ahnor mai condition, though not exhibiting positively dangerous symptoms. No investments arc being made in in dustries or works of any kind. Money is being held in tight hands, resolute in their determination to hold fast against every flattering proposition. Banking bills of ex change are asking in vain for buyers at a rate which practical ly [daces the irredeemable currency of the nation at a premium. This would be a good, firm sub-grade on which to [build the future prosperity of Ihe Empire, if there were no serious threatening!* in the near future. Tiie gradual melting away of slu- I very under the Rio Branco act of emancipation is rapidly impairing the borrowing value of the large cof fee estates; lienee the planters, al ways the “borrowing' class in a slave country, find it impossible to mortgage their lands for any more than the merest fraction of their es timated value. Congress, composed as it is of planters or their educated sons, has stepped in with an offer to guarantee the interest and become responsible tor the principal of all loans made to planters up to three fourths of the value of their planta tions. This is sim,-ly a gigantic scheme, and can only end in the Treasury be ing mulcted for fabulous sums. Id it. receives general approval. To re vive the agricultural interest is the mania of *he day, and everybody is affected with the craze. The Imperial Congress will ad journ to-morrow, iSept. 30, when a sense of relief will lie experienced by the business community in this, that the very worst will have been done to disturb values, and the measure inuy be he estimated ami its results at once discounted until Congress meets again.-- N.

Times' Rio Cor respondence. r, • Tlir Asr ot Palter We read of the Stone Age, the Bronze Age, and the Iron Age. ns the eras In the progress of civiliza tion among mankind, and it is now suggested that a suitable designa tion of the present, era is tin - Paper Age. When we consider what an immense amount, of paper is used ev ery day, ou which is printed the news of the previous twenty-four hours, also the many articles that arc made of tliis material, it must be acknowl edged that paper is pre-eminently characteristic of this period of histo ry. From a light fan to a heavy ear wheel, the greatest variety of things is now made of paper. The manu facture of paper collars, paper boxes for various purposes, and* of envel opes, is esneeially extensive and im portant. In Germany alone it is calculated that nearly a thousand millions of envelopes me manufac tured yearly, and, curiously enough, the introduction of postal cards has not caused a diminution of the num ber. One of the most recent appli cations of paper is for the cost,ruction of small casks or barrels. These are made of a cylindrical form of straw paper, so pressed and glued together as to he extremely hard. These bar rels are said to be much better than wooden ones, being at tho same time lighter, more durable and cheaper.—Exchange. Coffee. At the time Columbus dis covered America, coffee had never been known or used. It only grew in Arabia or upper Utopia. The dis covery o? it as a beverage is ascribed to the superior "fa monastery in Arabia, who, desirous of preventing I the monks from sleeping at their i nocturnal serve--, made them drink lan infusion of e dtee, on the reports of shepherds, who observed that their flocks were more lively after brow sing on the fruit of t. !, 0 plant. Its reputation spread through the ad jacent countries, and in about two hundred years it had reached Paris. A single plant, brought there in 1711, became the parent stoek of all the French coffee plantations in the West Indies. The Dutch introduced it into Java and the East Indies, and the French and Spanish all over South America and the West Indies. The extent of the consumption now can hardly be realized. The United States alone annually consume if at the cost, on its landing, of from fif teen million to sixteen million dol lars. A Colony of Ostriches.—Mont gomery Queen has purchased 100 Af rican ostriches arid is about coloniz ing them on his place near Hay woods, a small town fifteen miles from San Francisco.

GA., SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 20, 1875. MILLIONS IN' IT t A Hii'ii Donkin* County Cold Mine to be Developed. AN ATLANTA COMPANY THAT MEANS BUSINESS. Just now there are a score of fully organized efforts in progress looking to the full development of the gold mines of Georgia. New gold fields are being discovered each week, al most, and the interest being manifes ted in the gold mining operations in the Stato is so genuine and pronoun ced us to give every promise of bril liant results in the near future. TIIF. LATEST MOVEMENT that is ready lo be chronicled, is the leasing of a gold mine in Douglas county by a company of Atianta gen tlemen, who are able and determined upon developing it to its fullest ex tent, They have been preparing to embark in the enterprise under the most favorable auspices, and are now engaged in arranging for the com mencement of their operations al most immediately. THE COMPANY is composed of Gen. Jim Barnes, late of Texas, but a native Georgian, Dr. Samuel Rape, dental operator, and Col. Andrew Bates, a young and on prising lawyer, all of this city. Gen. Barnes is an old and experienced businessman, not wholly unacquaint ed with mining operations, and a gentleman of lino executive ability in i lie management, of business affairs, while Dr. Rape is well known in At lanta and Georgia as a prominent and capable business man, and withal quite a successful one. Tlir. MINE is located in Douglas county, two miles from Villa Rica, aobut thirty live miles from Atlanta, and a half mile from the terminus of the Geor gia Western Road as at present indi cated. 'l*he mine is in gold land that, has yielded largely to indiscriminate surface mining, and the mine itself lias been recently operated upon by a company which had insufficient capi tal, ami was forced to cease its efforts. Dr. Rape has long known of the mine and suspected its possibilities. Re cently full and careful investigations were made and resulted most satis factorily. A RICH VEIN of gold in the quartz rock was found, being seven to eight feet in breadth and extending, as far as it has beeu traced, over a half mile; how deep it is has not been found out. Rock taken out of this vein, which is an equally distributed one in its gold bearing features, lias beeu crushed and panned out gold to the average of 827 to the ton, which is a splendid yield. The gold has been fully assayed, and stands every test applied to il. The company at once took hold of the matter and have I,EASED THE MINE, and 400 acres of land about it, for a term of ten years, and paying a hand some sum therefor. They also pur chased the engine, stamp mills, and pumps, and other machinery of tho finely operating company, and will add to them. They propose to go regularly into the business of devel oping th is mine after tho best system known to mining operations. Work will commence in a short while, and the company propose to speedily demonstrate to the people of Georgia that this is the richest and best pay ing mine in t he State. The company is one that will push the matter to a result, and they do not tear the corning of the result. Raving cautiously examined into the matter, t hey are putt ing all their en ergies into the business. The people will hail their success with pleasure and pride. • ♦ ♦ The Most Ancient Trades. The advertising business is the oldest one, and the word “advertise” is a Bible word. It was used before there were any newspapers to publish the mod ern advertisement, or any dictionary to define the term. An interesting real estate transaction which took place in the land of Bethlehem some thousands of years ago, is described in the fourth chapter of the book of Ruth, where it is written; “And he said unto the kinsman, Naomi, that is come again out of the country of Moab, sellei.h a parcel of land which was our brother Elimelee.fi’s, and I thought to advertise thee, saying, Buy it before the inhabitants, and before the elders of my people.” Every truly Southern community should he represented at St. Louis. That convention should be a truly Southern body, as t he best guarantee for the maintenance of the rights and interests of the Sout h the best, guarantee for the establishment or equality in the favors and the materi al aid of the Federal Government, in building the grand trans-continental highways which have such powerful bearing upon the commerce of the nation.

The Turks who have already 15,000 Insurgents, are re-inforced by COO more. A special to the Post from Berlin, says one hundred priests of Rhine land, have given notice of their sub mission to ecclesiastical laws.

New York, Nov. 19. A Herald spe cial from Copenhagen says a melan choly disaster lias occurred on tho railway running between Stockholm and Malmo; Sixteen cars were com pletely smashed, and sixty persons killed or severely wounded. His Royal Highness Prince Chris tian Frederick William, tho Crown Prince of Denmark, is seriously ill from the effects of a fall from his horse, the animal falling with him. A special from London says Don Carlos’ letter to King Alfonso, on the tho Cuban question, is severely ridi culed. The Daily News editorially says the letter shows forth the weakness of Spanisn character. The Telegraph says it is Impossible to imagine a more fraudulent and fu tile proposal, at once an offront and an act of folly. The Pall Mall Gazette says the let ter is full of bombast. It reads al most like a hoax. It appears to in dicate tho Pretender’s desire to find an excuse to retire from the war con flict in Spain. The Carlist committee in London lias no funds. Don Carlos' letter is regarded by iiis friends in London as an utter fal lacy. It. is understood that the visit, of the Prince of Wales to India is about to terminate; that a Cabinet council was held Sunday, and a telegram sent ad vising tho Prince to return. He will leave India immediately after he has visited Ceylon. This change of pro gramme will be explained to Ihe pub lic as the result of the prevalence of cholera at Mysore and Madras, but the reason is the unsatisfactory atti tude of the natives Princes. Not a single reception has been preferred by any one of these in Madras and Bengal Presidencies. All the enter tainments linvg been thus far given by tho English, and there is no con cealing the fact that the native Princes view his visit unfavorably. Ole Bull, tiie famous violinist, has commenced his last concert tour. He went through Sweden and Norway with forty concerts in six weeks. In Copenhagen he met a hearty wel come.

New York, Nov, 19.—The work of securing a jury in tho ease of John Scannel, for the murder of Donohue, progresses slowly. Several days now have been occupied In working, and only eleven jurors obtained. Only one was sworn in to-day when the pannel became exhausted and anew one called.

A meeting of the manufacturers of fertilizers adop ted a resolution that fertilizers should be sold for cash or for satis factory endorsed paper, and that bar ter for cotton and other products should be abandoned. A committee on permanent organization was ap pointed to report to n meeting the first Tuesday in May. S.

St. Louis, Nov. 19, —Evidence in the whiskey trial to-day developed noth ing new. Several letters from Mc- Donald to Commissioner Douglass were read, declaring that no frauds existed in St. Louis.

In regard to the business of different agencies the report says Bomo cities are doing a very large business and have made in the ag gregrate millions of dollars, while in other respects they are unsatisfac tory and fall short of the benefits which ought to be realized. The commission system of tho Order is said to be false in theory and unjust to members, and therefore, in the minds of tho committee, another method of selling is deemed nec essary for the good of the Order. Such a system the committeo begs leave to submit tho plans of at a fu ture day and is satisfied it. will meet with a general approval. In conclu sion the committee recommended the employment of lecturers to canvass the country and make known the true aim and objects of the Order and thereby correct ing the wrong impres sions which now exist in the minds of many worthy people, concerning the Pat rons of Husbandry.
