No particu lars.” —‘‘No paper next week,” or “only a half sheet next week," is the announoement which wo find in nearly all our weekly exchanges. Our country brethren can ev idently get their mnterlul for nog cheaper than the city unfortunates. Mr. F.

The Buena Vista Argus, of the 17th, says a gin house belonging to Davis A Williford, of Stewart county, was burnt on lost Monday, 13th Inst., togothor with three bales of cotton anil COO bushels of cotton soed.

Six persons wore bruised, but none seri ously hurt. Tho Pullman sleeper was badly broken up, and one ond of the first class passenger car torn out. Tho acci dent occurred at 12 o'clock at night. -The Gainesville Southron reports tho arrival of a drove of fat hogs from Ten nessee in that section of Georgia, which until recently raised much meat to sell, in another paragraph the Southron vary sensibly says that "our farmers will, after awhile, learn that raising hog and hominy is their only souroo of true wealth." Cotfee.—A Now York commercial paper gives the returns showing that there are now 259,872 bags of coffee in the United States, against 63,793 bags to corresponding dates of last year and 53,920 in 1873. In other words the “cornerors” in coffee have accumulated a stook nearly two hundred thousand bags greater t han usual, and are holding it up for still higher prices. Should Congress, in accordance with President Grant’s recommendation, re-imposo an im port duty on coffee, the price of the stock in speculators’ hands would at once advance to the amount of tho tax, but the importation would cease for some time, and thus tho coffee "ring” and not the Government would be benefited. Tho people would simply pay the duty to the speculator* and not to tho Govern ment. .Startling Revelations Promised.- A Washington special says that some very startling developments are forthcoming in connection with tho whiskey frauds in St. Louis, Chicago and Milwaukee. It is said that three United States Senators aro under in dictment, besides eight or ton Con gressmen. Of the latter four or five are now in the House. They are not all Western men, but some are men from the East. Two editors are said to be in the ring, and a very promi nent German politician in Chicago. Western 'detectives say that the frauds will cover about $15,000,000, and tho territory covered by the op erations will reach from Now Orleans to St. Paul. Some people aro dis posed to look upon the affair as a gi gantic conspiracy. The Wamsutta corporation are building and have nearly completed another largo cotton mill near New Bedford. Tt is of brick, four stories, 433 by 94 feet, with 50,000 spindles, and cost, with tenement houses for employees, $750,000. This does not indicate that cotton manufacture is unprofitable in New England even in the present dull state of trade. Col. E. Hulbert, still well remem bered in Georgia for his “sharp and quick work” in making Bullock Gov ernor, and afterwards for his man agement of the State road, has un dertaken the building of a narrow gauge railroad from Kansas City to St. Louis. He estimates that he can do It for $4,250 per mile, which is cheaper than any railroad in the country. thi:i:dn iioitoaiorK. Tho New York Herald has consult ed Prof. Lister (tho astrologer who lately furnished it Gen. Grant’s horo sogpe) in referenco to the where abouts of Wm. M. Tweed; and the Professor has given It tho horoscope of Tweed, which tho Herald pub lishes In the form of a diagram with accompanying explanations. Every thing is determined by the positions and movements of the planets. Ac cording to this hcrosoope, Venus and Saturn represent Tweed. The plan for his escape was matured on the 25th of October, when the planet Sa turn turned direct in motion, and from that time to tho day of his es cape hlsjfriends were watching an opportunity. Venus is now in an angle; consequently Tweed is still in the city of Now York, and the Pro fessor locates him In a basement or cellar a little southwest from his old home. The position of tho Moon and Mars wears an evil aspect for Tweed, and denotes that he will soon bo cap tured. All this may possibly turn out to bo correct, but If It does, we shall al ways believe that the prognostication was effected In a manner similar to that of an old negro “conjurer” named Charles, who lived in Girard, Ala., in “slavo times.” Charles’ conjuring was effected by means of a cross-mark on the ground, at which he expectorated or threw a stick. Venus and Ha turn were beyond the range of his philosophy. On one oc casion a fine shote was stolen from its owner’s pen In Girard, and the owner, after searching in vain for it during the morning, determined to try Charles’ skill in conjuring. Charles, after the promise of a liber al Toward, adjusted his cross-mark, stick, etc., and that one half of the hog might bo found under tho bed of Pompey, another negro of the vicinity. Pompey’s houso was thereupon searched, and half of the shote found there as predicted. The next proceeding was to extort from Pompey u disclosure of the where abouts of the other half, and this was no hard mutter after he had been informed of Charles’ conjuring. He told the owner that tho othor half might be found in Charles’ house, and a search verified this prediction also, thus proving the possession by Pompey of conjuring power equal to that of his colleague of tho stick and cross-mark. THE HINTING OF A,FANATIC. We learn from the New York pa pers that on Sunday night last, in the Fleet Street Colored Methodist Church of Brooklyn, one “Rev. Mr. Gloucester” delivered an inflamma tory and ranting harangue against the hanging of tho three negroes who were executed on the Friday previ ous for the murder of a podler in Westchester county. Ho said that “it was a problem to him why three colored men should be hanged for the murder of ono white man, while In Brooklyn four colored men had been murdered and not one of tho white murderers had expiated his crime.” He referred particularly to the oaso of Dolan, white, who had been con demned for murder, but whose friends were exerting themselves to have his punishment commuted, and ho exolaimed, “Ah, my brothers, the secret of the whole thing is right here—he is white, while the men who died on the scaffold on Friday were black. Weston, Thompson and Ellis were arbitrarily arraigned,arbi trarily convicted and sentenced, and arbitrarily hanged. There will not bo fair and equal justice for the col ored man until he can be tried by men of his own raco.” To say nothing of the impropriety (If not the sacrilege) of such an ap peal from the pulpit, on a Sabbath day, to the passions and prejudices of an ignorant raoa, the falsehood of this preacher’s insinuations were most glaring. The throe negroes not only had on their persons, when ap prehended, some of tho goods of the pedler whom they had murdered, but one of them made a full confession of the murder, whieh was read from the gallows on the day of the execu tion. There never was a murder more clearly proved, ahd it was a most unprovoked, premeditated and dastardly murder for the purpose of robbery. Tho truth is, then, that this Radical fanatic was only con demning tho hanging because the murderers were black, just as he was complaining of the delay in hanging a white murderer, simply because he was white. To what base uses are even tho pulpits and the Sabbath put to excito tho animosities of races, sects and sections—these being the inflammary material with which Rad icalism is fed and sustained! “I’m going homo to raise h—l,” is tho remark attributed to Pinehbaek, when he left Washington for New Orleans on Friday last, discouraged at his prospects for getting a soat in the Senate. That kind of a condi tion has frequently been “raised” in tho South by Radioal deviltry within the last ton years. But it was not for the Injury of the class against which Pinch is now hurling anathemas. His power to hurt that class is over. He now proposes to empty vials of wrath on t.ho head of the Radical party, and especially the carpet-bag gentry. His ability to do this is un deniable, his provocation clear, and his opportunity a most favorable one. We trust that his achievements in tho line proposed will elicit the applause of Old Nick himself. The Washington Chronicle—third term apologist—is sneering at Dis trict Attorney Dyer, who prosecuted in the whiskey riug oases. Is this an intimation to Dyer that the fate of Henderson will be his if he pushes the investigation too far ? There is one Government office where it is money in the occupant’s pocket not to steal the revenue, and that is tlie postofflee at Mulgrave, Canada, where the gross annual re ceipts are $9.01 and the salary $lO. [Gorannwicated. | A Review of Tom in Imu loner Jam**’ Manual on Mhcep Husbandry In&cor- Rf. On pages 4and 5 of Thos. P. Janos’ Manual on Hheep Husbandry in Geor gia will bo found tho following: "Correspondents report that 100 sheep regularly folded will fertilize go as to double the yield of crops eight aores a year.” At this rate even the number at present in Georgia will fertilize 25,644 acres.” “Wo will suppose this area to be planted In cotton, and that without tho sheep ma nure It would produce one half of a bale of cotton per aero. The increase on this area would ho 12,772 bales, worth, at SSO not per bale, $038,000.” As I am unacquainted with the manurial benefits from sheep hus bandry, I have nothing to say con troverting Mr. Janes’ statement in reference thereto. I, however, deny tho truth of his assumption—that one acre of Georgia land planted in cotton will yield one half of a bale. On the contrary, I affirm that the av erage yield of lands planted in cot ton in Georgia (including manured as well as unmanuredj, dons not ex ceod one bale weighing S(X) pounds to every four acres—or only one-fourth of a bale per acre. It requires uo reference to statistics to support my affirmation. All prac tical planters know that the yield is not greater than I state it. I believe the Commissioner will, upon second thought, admit its correctness; then, it follows that tho increased yield of cotton from the manure of sheep, as stated by the Commissioner, must be reduced one-half from SO3B,OCX) to $319,300; then, again, the cost of the cultivation of the 25,544 acres and gathering the crop therefrom will not be less than ten dollars per acre. I submit to the Commissioner if the benefits from the sheep manure should not be charged with a portion of that amount? It is useless to pursue the argu ment further upon this lijie, for 1 af firm the whole benefit, whatever it may be, derived from tho manure of the sheep is included in the state ment of the Commissioner, “that the average cost of raising a pound of wool is only six cents!” In other words, the correspondents of the Commissioner, In estimating the cost of raising a pound of wool, gave sheep husbandry credit for the value of the manure. The wording of question No. 13 is evidence of the truth of my affir mation, which is as follows: "What is tho cost ofa pound of wool after charging the sheep with all the ex penses and crediting them with the lambs, mutton, manure,” dce.f It is legitimate aud reasonable to suppose that the parties addressed responded fully to tho question as propounded, but what tho commis sioner says on page 3 of Ids manual proves the truth of my afiirma tion. “In answer to question No. 13, tho aver age cost of raising a pound of wool is only six cents, while the average price for which the unwashed wool is sold is 33 q or 27 H cents net.” On same page tho Commissioner says : “The average price of stocn sheep is $2.58 cents per head.” “The average yield of unwashed wooltoltho sheep Is 3.44 pounds, which at 27 >j cents net gives an average clear income in wool from each sheep of 94 cents.” The quotations made from tho Manual establish this fact; that all the profits from sheep-husbandry is less than the value of wool by six (6J cents per pound; 2 that the average clear income from sheep is ninety four cents. The Commissioner further says— “from the answers to the question propounded ho deirives the informa tion that “the average profit on cap ital invested in sheep in Georgia is 63 per cent.” The quotation, from the Manual establish that the average value of stock sheep is $2.58 per head, and 94 cents per head was all the net profits realized. A capital of $2.58 In sheop husbandry yields a net income of 94 cents or 36j per cent. only. I beg the reader to remember that the above calculation is rnado upon the average valuo only of the stock sheep. Will tho Commissioner say whether the value of the stock sheep is all the capital used or needed in the business of sheep husbandry? It seems clear to my mind that the Commissioner’s statement in the connection and manner made —that “the average annual profit, on capital invested in sheep in Georgia is 63 per centum,” is sophistical and delusive, if not untrue. The Commissioner’s account of Da vid Ayres, of Mitchell county, is more sophistical, delusive, and—if obnoxious to tho charge—more un true. Ayres owns 3,500 head of sheep, which he grazes upon lands worth from $1 50 to $lO per acre, and real izes therefrom, annually, “a clear profit of 90 per cent, on the money and labor invested in sheep.” lam curious to know the net an nual income from the 3,500 sheep. To arrive at, it, the calculation is as follows: 3,500 sheep at $2 58—average price in Georgia—is $9,030; now mul tiply tho capital by 90, the rate of per cent., and it gives $8,127 as Ayres’ not income. I ask the Commissioner to say whether the calculation is correct. I think the capital is more than the value of the sheep, and therefore again ask the Commissioner to say whether the value of the sheep is the only capital Ayres has invested'? To fully expose the delusiveness of the statement in question, I will sup pose that Ayers, with $9,030, invested in sheep, continues the business for twenty years. His income Ist year at 90 per cent, will be $8,127. Now I ask some Grauger to compound it annually for the time (twenty years.) named:’ His Income 2d year will be $ 15*441 00 “ sth •* •• 100.010(H) loth •• “ “ 2,615,460 00 •• 16th “ *• " 64.664,007 00 20th 1.600,651,604 00 —a sum exceeding one half the amount of the .entire debt of the Un ited States.

I H AG EE. THE TIMES: FRIDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 24, Im. ATTACK 1*1*05! THE NOMCITOH VKXBB4L THE FA STIES CONCSBUEI) ISfipOTBD FOlt ÜBM'. FrornAh'- Savannah N< vra, M.] During Monday evening, an occur rence at the court-house, shortly after the adjournment of tho Superior Gourt. which was generally discuss ed, and by many with considerable feeling. It was stated that as tho Solicitor Geuefal was walking out of the corridor at the President street entrance he was approached by Mr. Philip M. Russell, Jr., who, it Is al leged, was accompanied by several members of his family, and who, after some abusive language, struck him in the face. Tho only two wit nesses to tho attack, besides those concerned, that we encountered, were very reticent, and hence we de cided to make no mention of the af fair until it should be brought before the court, which course, we learned, would be pursued. The matter of the assault was brought to the attention of Judge Tompkins, of the Superior Court, yesterday, and the following is a ver batim report of the proceedings, which will enable tiie public to form an opinion regarding the affair. Upon the opening of the court, af ter the usual preliminaries, Cot. Al bort It. Lamar, the Solicitor General, arose and said: May it please the Court : Before the grand jury retires I desire, in my plasm and us the first oflleer of this court, to make tho following state ment: Yesterday, as I left the court-room during a recess, I was assailed on ac count of official action by Philip M. Russell, jr., Isaac Itussell, Waring Russell, jr., Waring Russell, sr., R. Wayne Russell, l’hiliu M. Russell,sr., and Thos, J. Hheftail. I wus follow ed by these purties from the court room and accosted on the street just at tiie court-house door. I wasabusiAl by Philip M. Russell, jr., in the most opprobrious terms, and struck in the face by the same man, while the bal ance stood around with their hands upon their armH. If I had attempted to use the privilege that the law ac corded mo on this occasion, I had not been here now to make this state ment to the court, ff I had yielded to the impulses of a mun, anti of the moment,, I would not be here. If the premeditated attempt to assassinate me had been successful, it would have been only accomplished in or der that, crime and criminals might go unwhipped of justice. The only hands ever laid upon me, even in an ger or reproof, savo this man’s, have long since been stilled by death, and in the deep humiliation which I feel I have but this consolation—that a father and mother ure not here to share it. If I had yielded to the impulses of a man when time for preparation had been given, and had sunk tho officer in the man, I would iiave been ar raigned at the bar of this court to day for the violation of that law which I have solemnly sworn to main tain and uphold. I have determined, if your Honor please, at my own instance, and by the advice or wiser and cooler heads than my own, to ask that tho majesty of the law be vindicated in its officer rather than that an officer of the law should attempt to vindicate the sanc tity of his own person. As Judge Tompkins turned to ad dress the jury, Mr. PhilipM. Russell, jr., arose and said : “May it please the court” Judge Tompkins—l desire to hear nothing. Mr. Isaac Russell—lf your Honor please, I Judge Tompkins - No argument is necessary. 1 desire to hear none. Turning then to the Grand Jury, Judge Tompkins charged them ns follows: Mr. Foreman and Gentleman of the Jury: Your attention and that of tho court having been in this solemn and unusual manner called to the of fense charged upon certain parties, four of whom aro attorneys at law, it becomes your duty and more—your privilege'indeed —to investigate the charge. It is neither for me nor a petit, jury now to sav anything con cerning this grave charge; but it is for you, under your oaths as grand jurors, fully to investigate it. You nave sworn, as grand jurors, to take cognizance of ail such matters and things as aro brought to your atten tion, either by the State’s officer or otherwise. Tills matter lias been brought, to your attention in a very unusual and impressive way—by the highest prosecuting officer of the dis trict,. He has risen in his place in court, and charged eeruiin parties with assailing him for the reason that he had prosecuted properly, and perhaps vigorously, where the law demanded it. If, as prosecuting officer of this court, the learned Solicitor General had so far forgotten himself as to have persecuted, under color of his office, the highest, and most able magistrate in the State, and a mem ber of the highest and most respect ed family in the city, still it would have been an unmitigated and out rageous offense for him to have been assaulted In the way, in whieh he says it occurred, for the laws and doors of this court were open to the person persecuted and ho should have come here and gone before you for rodress. This statement of facts having been made known to you by the Solicitor General it is your duty to investigate the charges, and to call him and such other witnesses as lie may designate, and it tho al legations be true to make a present ment for riot. Gentlemen, Ido not leave it to your discretion or sense of justice, Vint as the highest officer of this court I charge you that it is your duty to make this investigation. Whatever may be tho result of your investigation is another matter, or what the petit jury may do after a bill is found is another matter. But if such things as the Solicitor Gener al has laid to the charge of these per sons are to be tolerated in this com munity. wo might as well raze the walls of this court, house, let the offi cers of the law resign, and turn over the administration of criminal justice in this country to other hands. The jury may retire. Mr. T. R. Mills, Jr.- May it please your Honor. I woiftd like to confer with a member of the grand jury in regard to another ease. Judge Tompkins—Mr. Mills, your request is most inopportune. Let the jury retire. A reference to the regular court proceeeings will show that the par ties named were specially presented by the grand jury on the charge of riot. They appeared in court after the presentments wero read and tend ed bonds in the sum of SI,OOO each for appearance at trial. Subsequent ly they were arrested on a peace war rant issued by Judge Tompkins at the instance of Col. Lamar, and gave bond also in this ease. The longer I live,’ the more I am certain that the great difference be tween men—between the feeble and the powerful, the great and the in significant—is energy, invinoible de termination,—a purpose, once fixed, and then death or victory! That quality will do anything that can be clone in this world; ana no talents, no circumstances, no opportunity, will make a two-legged creature a man without it,—Powell Buxton. 'rile Third Term Secret Order— It* Extent. To the Editor of the Sun : Sin: I noticed an article in the Sun of Fri day, in which you speak of a secret order known as the Patriotic Sons of America, down in Maine. Not in Maine alone doesjtho order exist, but also in New York, New Jersey, Penn sylvania, Ohio, Indiana, Michigan, aud a number of other States. In Now York and Pennsylvania alone wo number from 125,000 to 130,- 000, and enough in the other States to elect Grant again to the Presiden tial chair, providing lie will accept the nomination for a third term. In spite of all your opposition he would be elected by a larger majority than he was before. Pkehident Camp No. 11, P. O. S. of A., New York City. New York, Dec. 18, 1875. The Memphis Appeal says that in Mississippi the race for the seat in the United States Senate is under stood to be between Colonel Lamar and General J. Z. George. At first the former seemed to have nearly a clear field, but General George has recent ly developed a strength which many believe will ensure his election. He is tho acknowledged head of tho Mis sissippi bar, and as chairman of the Executive Committee during the late campaign won great popularity. The steamer Mary Bell, on her way to New Orleans, passed Natchez on Tuesday, with 7,460 bales and 13,700 sacks of cotton—the largest load ever carried to New Orleans on any one boat.
