Tiie San Domingo Breaker.—
The Herald, commenting on the attitude
of Mr Sumner, says:
There is a possibility, if Mr. Sumner
sticks to his opposition, that this San
Domingo business, insiguificant and out
landish as it is, may break up the Re
publican party. Squatter sovereigty in
Kansas did as much for the Democracy
in the days of Douglas and Breckin
ridge ; and that was a matter that ninety
nine out of every hundred of our people
took no interest in. Things of little mo
ment arc often the cause of great effects ;
and it would be too bad, indeed, if so
meagre a matter as the appointment of
the San Domingo Commissioners should
end in a total disruption of the great
Republican party.
A Sad Spectacle. —There came be
fore Mayor Huff yesterday morning a
poor demented creature, covered with
filthy rags, who had been picked up
while wandering the streets- He ap
peared to be about thirty years of age,
and in answer to questions propounded,
ttated that he was the savior of the
world, and that the book lying upon
the Mayor’s desk was written at his in
stance and through the agency of men
whom he had inspired. This poor fel
low appeared not at all abashed, and
spoke with as much siucery as though he
really was the Divine Being whom he
imagined himself to be. The Mayor
ordered him to be conveyed to the hos
pital, where under treatment, it is to be
hoped he may be restored to reason.—

Gossip With the Planters.
The cotton men are scared well-nigh
out of their boots, says the mac on Tele
graph. They have passed the four mil
i lion bridge, and begin to talk about the
| possibilities that the crop will run to
i forty-two, forty-three, forty-four, and
forty-five hundred thousand bales.—
They scout at all idea of any falling off
in production, and say the crop will
move onward and upward, in spite of
I fate, until it is a mere drug, worth four
pence in Liverpool for strict middling
and two pence for common dogtail.
In an approximation to harmony with
this conclusion, it was to be observed in
our yesterday’s edition that contracts for
delivery in New York in January, 1872,
were freely made at fourteen cent*,which
w r ould allow about eleven cents for the
market price in Georgia, and prudent
planters should not fix their anticipa
tions above eleven cents for the product
of the next crop. We do not say they
w'ill not get more, but we do say it will
not do to bet upon, and wear out your
land, capital and time upon.
It is true we have all seen cotton pan
ics many times before and know that
they are just as unreasonable as other
panics; but the terrible advance in pro
duction made in 1870, say of a million
bales over that of 1860, and more than
two million bales over that of 1865,
shows that the productive capacity of
the Southern states is well nigh illimita
ble ; and although we may growl at
prices and swear that blue ruin stares us
in the face, yet almost any price will
serve practically as a stimulus to produc
tion. Hence every business man dis
misses the idea that the product is go
ing to fall off’ under any circumstances,
and looks upon an absolute glut of the
market as certain as any future event
can be.
They laugh at all representations and
arguments of the press showing the fol
ly of over production, and at all the res
olutions and manifestations of agricultu
ral clubs to prevent it, and say the more
of these the more cotton will be made,
because every planter will say the crop
is going to be short this year, and now
is the time for me to make my pile.—
Hence they say that 1872 will show a
bigger yield than was ever known be
fore. And what scares the speculators
almost as mnch as the number of bales is
their sir.e. The talk is, (whether true
or not, we can’t tell, and believe the
talkers to be in the same condition), that
the bales are fifty pounds heavier, on an
average, than they used to be, so that
the number by no means conveys a just
idea of the vast increase in the cotton
product.
These facts, ideas, and apprehensions,
it seems to us, are worthy the serious
consideration of planters in making their
arrangements for the next crop. It is
by no means true that we are shut up to
cotton as the only article affording the
possibility of a profitable agriculture, or
that in fact cotton represents necessarily
the most profitable crop of the State.—
The census of 1860 made the corn crop
of Georgia about thirty-one millions of
bushels, which at present prices would,
exceed in value the whole cotton yield;
and if we were to add rice, wheat, rye,
oats, barley, potatoes, sugar, syrup, to
bacco, live stock, poultry, peas, fruit
hay, etc., King Cotton would make no
over shadowing presence in the grand
sum total.
The total value of agricultural pro
ducts in Georgia in 1850 was $46,686,-
151, of which cotton (consisting of 499,-
091 bales of 400 pounds each) represents
a value of probably about $16,000,000.
Now let us take a glance at the situ
ation in If 60. In that year the census
showed to our credit 701,840 bales of
cotton worth, let us say for a liberal esti
mate, $28,000,000. That is a large sum,
but not over shadowing by a long ways.
Let us see what else Georgia produced :
wheat, 2,544,913 bushels; corn, 30,-
776,293 bushels ; oats, 1,231,817 ;
peas, 1,765,214 bushels; sweet potatoes,
6,508,541 bushels; wool, 946.227 lbs.;
rice, 52.506,642 pounds; tobocco, 919,-
328 pounds; syrup, 546.740 gallons;
hogs, 2,036,116 in number; value of
livestock, $38,372,734: value of ani
mals slaughtered the year before, $lO,-
707.204. And besides these the list
shows many other articles of smaller in
dividual but great aggregate value.—
Thus we see that Georgia agriculture is
not altogether bound up in cotton.
It is true that the most of the articles
•which we have offset against cotton were
consum'd at home. They were not sold
for a price in the Georgia market and
the proceeds transferred to the West for
the same articles in kind, according to
the method of this decade. But if they
had been, they would have represented
a value to us increased by the addition
of exchange, commissions, freight and
charges. Why a man should value a
product less because it is not raised for
sale, when he is otherwise forced to pay
more money for the same thing, is not
explicable by and sound philosophy.
When we raised thirty-one million
bushels of corn we did not raise enough.
The writer paid three dollars a bushel
for corn during a part of that time. Is
not corn at present prices a good crop ?
But you are far from market. That is
only another reason why you should raise
• enough.of it to fatten hugs and make
bacon, which now costs more per pound
than the cotton you raise. Why haul
cotton to market merely to haul ba
con home ? Pc ultry, too, is an elegant
crop. Children will grow fat upon
them, and they aae now retailing in mar
ket at twenty-five to thirty cents a pound,
or one pound of chicken for two pouuds
of cotton.
In a word, all food crops are good in
Georgia, and probably never will be
otherwise. We have a million and a
half of mouths to feed, and are p jsitive
ly importiug most of the food required
for them- To do this we are compelled
to pay prices in the West which subsist
! farmers there who have to give at least
j thirty dollars a month wages for hands,
| and then we pay freight for one thous
i ond miles or more of transportation.—
i Oh, shameful waste ! What wonder is
j it that we are poor; and how can we
j ever be otherwise, while we pursue this
fatuous course 1 And yet, in order to do .
j it, we cram tlio markets with cotton so
as to cut down the price of that article
below cost of production. Can folly go
further?

Gov. Bullock’s Interest in the
State Road Lease.
Curd from Ex-Governor Broun.
The Atlanta Georgian publishes the
following card from President Brown in
regard to the report that Governor Bul
lock has an iuterest in the State Hoad
lease:
Office of W. & A. R. R. Cos., \
February 21, 1871. j
Governor Bard:
I find the following article in your
paper this day, which you say is taken
from the Augusta Chronicle & Sentinel,
which I had not seen till I read your last
issue :
“ Wc have the highest authority for
saying that when the company was made
up, it was understood that one share was
to be left for Bullock. Before the bid
was put in, the share of Bullock had
been put down to a northern nfiin se
lected by Bullock to hold it for him.—
This fact was known to Brown and the
leading members of the company, and
acquiesced in by him and them. They
know that one full share of the stock is
owned by Bullock, though nominally
put down to another. These facts we
obtain from a source altogether reliable,
and we learn fchev will soon be made
known in such a way as to bring confu
sion and shame upon those engaged in
the transaction. The party who holds
Bullock’s share is siid to tea n irtliern
man, who first gave Bullock employ
ment, and sent him South as an em
ployee of the Express Company, several
years since.”
Now, I pronounce the above statement
of the Chronicle and Sentinel a fabri
cation and an unmitigated falsehood, as
a whole, and in all its parts in detail.—
And I deucy that Governor R. B. Bul
lock has one dollar of interest in the
lease of the State Road, as a share hold
er or otherwise, in any way, direct or
remote, vested or contingent; except
the interst he has in common with every
other citizen of Georgia.
As I do not believe, by republishing
the statement of the Chronicle and Sen
tinel, that you wished to do injustice, I
respectfully ask you to publish this ca.id.
Very respectfully,
Your obedient servant,
Joseph E. Brown.
Death of Bishop Jas. O. An
drew.
A dispatch received by Rev. A. M.
Wynn, from Rev. John W. Bush,
brought the sad, yet not unexpected in
telligence of the death, at Mobile, of
this venerable servant of God. He had
attained his 78th year, and passed away
full of yerrs and honors, and full of the
blessed hopes and bright assurances of a
glorious immortality. We learn that he
preached his last sermon —a most pow
erful effort—at New Orleans on Sunday
week; that shortly afterward he was
stricken with paralysis; that, rallying,
he started for his home at Summerfield,
Alabama, but was so ill on reaching
Mobile as to render further progress im
possible. The attack terminated in death
as above.
Bishop Andrew was born in Elbert
county, Ga.; was licensed to preach iu
1812 ; his ministerial labors thus cover
ing a period of fifty-eight years. In
1832 lie was ordained Bishop of the
Methodist Episcopal Church of the
United States, iu which capacity he
served until 1844, when the disruption
between the Northern and Southern
Churches occurred; growing out of the
case of Bishop Andrew’s being a slave
holder. Since that time he has filled
the office of Bishop of the Methodist
Episcopal Church South, and at
the time of his death, was senior iu the
Southern College of Bishops.
Rev. A. 31. W ynn. of this city, was a
nephew of Bishop Andrew, and spent
his boyhood days in his family. Few,
therefore, know more of his :
excellencies as a man and Christian.—
But the reputation of the deceased
Bishop is as extensive as the boundaries
ot Methodism and his name and'memory
will be especially revered and cherished
throughout the Southern States.— Co

In the Civil Appropriation bill, one
item gave $21,000 for articles for “the
President’s House.” 31 r. 3laynard
moved an amendment, that it be for the
“Executive Alansion,” the proper name.
Mr. Dawes, the chairman, accepted the
amendment, but made a laugh by saying,
“this is the name they sent us, and we
supposed they knew the name of their
own house.”

Paris, March 5. —-Not a German
soldier remains in Paris. The Saxons
passed out at 10 o’elockjyesterday morn

spectators. By noon the evacuation of
the city was complete. The German
Emperor afterwards reviewed one hun

at the coldness and implacable attitude
of the Parisians
Several journals resumed publication
to-day. They all say the impression
produced by the prelim in ar y

they also declare that no real peace can
be obtained under duress. But they
recommend calmness and concord, as a
means of making the country great and
prosperous.
The authorities are preparing to dis
band the Mobile Guards in Paris.
The city Is quiet to-day. A number
of persons suspected to be spies have
been arrested by the people, and several
women seen talking with Prussians in
Champs Elysees were severely handled.
Meetings in open air are held day and
night in Place de la Bastile, but no vio

The Minister, in a proclamation, con
gratulates the inhabitants on their atti

The extensive use of these watches for the
last fifteen years by Hallway Conductors, En
gines, and Expressmen, the most exacting
I ot watch-wearers, has thoroughly den.ou
st rated the strength, steadiness, dnrabilitv
and accuracy of the Waltham Watch- To
satisfy that class in all these respects, is to
I decide the question as tin* real value of these
time-keepers.
More titan 500,00(1 of these watches are
now speaking for them selves in the pockets of
the people—a proof and a guarantee of their
• superioritp over all other;*.
The superior organization and great cx
; tent of the Company's works at Waltham, en
ables them to produce watches at a price
which renders competition futile, and those
who buy any other watch merely pay from 25
to 50 per cent, more for their watches than is
necessary.
These time-pieces combine every improve
ment that a long experience has proved of re
al practical use. Having had the refusal of
nearly every invention in watch-making orig
inating in this country or in Europe, only
those were finally adopted which severe test
ing by the most skilfull artisans in our works,
and long use on the part of the public, dem
onstrated to be essential to correct and en
during time-keeping.
Among the many improvements we would
particularize:
The invention and use of a centre-pinion
of peculiar construction, to prevent damage
to the train bv the breakage of mainsprings,
is original with the American Watch Compa
ny, who, having had the refusal of all other
contrivances, adopted Fogg's patent pinion
as being the best and faultless.
Hurdened and tempered hair-springs, now
universally admitted by watchmakers to be
the best, are used in all grades of Waltham
watches.
All Waltham watches have dust-proof caps
protecting the movement ffom dust, and les
sening the necessity of the frequent clear ing
necessary in other watches.
On new patent stem-winder, or keyless
watch, is already a decided success, and a
great improvement on any stem-winding
watch in the American market, and by far the
cheapest watch of its vitality now offered to
the public. To those living in portions of the
Inited States where watchmakers do not
abound; watches with the above mentioned
improvements which tend to insure accuracy
cleanliness, durability and convenience, nuist
prove invaluable.
