Hill and Miller, Senators elect, and al -80 Farrow and Whitely, the contestants, the two former receive $15,000 each, and the latter 80,000 each. In Kentucky the important mail line between Louisville and Lexington has been discontinued. The Department made a negro the agent. The people kicked up at it, and the Department kickcdjthe people out of the mail line. A violent storm passed over Dalton, last Sunday week, doing grtat damage to the buildings at the North Georgia Fair ground, near that place. The main building, a large framed one some hun dred or more feet long, the judges’ stand, stock stalls, and a considerable portion of the fencing around the enclosure, were blown down.

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.— Jlacon Telegraph. We have been having most delightful weather for some days past. Some of our readers may have noticed it. 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? -4 ►— 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 lumbus Sun. 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.” A Marietta man bought his slirovd the other day, rnd the local paper has tens to brag on it. TELEGIiAPHIC. FRANCE. Paris, March 5. —-Not a German soldier remains in Paris. The Saxons passed out at 10 o’elockjyesterday morn ing, inarching in front of Are do Tri omphe, amid profound silence of a few spectators. By noon the evacuation of the city was complete. The German Emperor afterwards reviewed one hun dred thousand men in Bjis De Bologne. The Prussian leaders are disappointed 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 terms of peace is very bad; and 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 lcoco/t^Kjrted. The Minister, in a proclamation, con gratulates the inhabitants on their atti tude during the occupation. The Journal des Debats, of Friday, chides Parisians for their frivolity dur ing the occupation, over the couch of strangled France. It pronounces the words silence and patience ; it urges earnest preparation so. that our children may be able to pronounce the third word —Vengeance ! Tho Cri du Peuple, in an article sign ed J ules Valles, incites the poor to a war against the rich. The La Verife demands that mer chants in good standing be granted an additional delay of one month, for the payment of commercial bills. The Press protests against the contin ued occupation of the suburbs of Paris. The forts on the left bank of tl e Seine will be delivered to the French in a few days. One division of the Army of the Loire will shortly reinforce the garrison of Paris. New A drertlsements. • IAS.

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.
