Alarming excesses have recently been
committed by blacks in Bullock County, in
the neighborhood of Perote. The colored
loyal leagues have organized and resisted
the processes of the civil authorities. Un-
der instructions from colored emissaries,
they have framed code of laws to govern
the negro population, opened court, Off
cered and organized, and are arresting by
night all blacks who oppose their unlawful
proceedings, and have carried punishment
so far that their victims have applied to the
civil authorities for protection. The black
sheriff and his deputy were finally arrested
but other insurrcctionary leaders organized
the negroes and made armed resistance
Aid from other leagues was summoned, ,and
the blacks focked to Union Springs,threat
ening general rising and the extermina-
ton of the whites, and taking possession of
the country. The black leaders went to
the plantations aud forced the Iaborers to
join them for vengeance, showing pretend
ed orders from Gen. Swayne that they had
a right to kill all resisting their authority.
During the excitement the negro church at
Perote was burned by unknown parties it
is alleged by black leaguers. to iDfame the
negroes. The whites universally regret it.
The white citizens have organized for pro-
lection. General Swayne was appealed to
and sent detachment of troops promptly
to the scenes of trouble to restore order.
The black insurrectionists have been arrest.
ed and sent to Jail to be tried by the civil
authorities. AT the last accounts, order
was restored, and all was quiet.

Treasury Report.

The Treasury report has been published
In regard to the resumption of specie pay
ments, the Secretary says That dcsira-
bic consummation has been delayed chiefly
by the poor crops of 1866, by the immense
expenditures of the War Department con-
sequcnt upon the Southern military gov
ernments and the Indian hostilities and by
the shock to the public credit given by the
expressions of such financiers as Ben. But.
Ter and Thad. Stevens. Yet the Secrets
ry boldly declares that If the policy of con-
traction is maintained, and the crops are
good next season specie payments may be
resumed by January, 1869, or, at the very
latest, six months later. The measures
requisite for this condition, are given as
follows:
First-The funding or paying the bal
ance of the interest bearing notes and the
continued contraction of the paper cur
rency.
Second The maintenance of the public
faith in regard to the funded debt.
Third-Restoration of the Southern
States TO their proper relations to the Fed
eral Government.
AS to the National Banks, the Secretary
thinks that any attempt to destroy them at
the present time would bring on a crisis !;
yet he hints that the time may come to
dispense with them. Conservative legis-
latlon, he declares, is now indispensable.
Notwithstanding the signs of the times,
he insists even more strongly than usu.
al on the policy of rapid currency contrac-
ton, and declares stubbornly that trade
has not been and will not be, injuriously
affected by such policy. "An irredeem
able currency" it says is financial dis
ease"
The Secretary then speaks briefly of the
internal laws-saying nothing of the great
whisky frauds-and recommends that only
slight changes be made in the tariff until
we have returned to specie payments. The
present tariff has failed to be protective, as
was intended, but has produced large
revenue, and in that particular pleases the
Secretary.
He insists with much emphasis that the
understanding of the government which
issued our bonds and of the people who
bought them, was that they would be paid
in gold and he maintains that it would be
disgraceful breach Of national faith to pay
them in currency.

Military District, has issued an order direc-
ting General Gillem to proceed to Wash

the case with those sleek scoundrels, who

from tie NoielTarmcr.l

As we have established the Model
Farmer to advocate thorough refor-
nation in the development of the coun-
Try, We shall insist that the common
schools Of the State shall have bran
ches Of studies which are directly cons
nccted with the agricultural interest
Heretofore, the farmers sons in
Southern colleges, have wasted months
on learning Latin and Greek, which
have been Of but little practical utility
to them after they graduatel. These
studies may have been well enough
when the fathers were wealthy, and
their sons required confinement at COLI
lege to keep them from dissipation and
idleness; bat at this crisis, the fathers
finances are low, and the sons are vans
ted in the fields; meadows and orchards.
Gre. k is not essentially necessary
geology is. Therefore there should be
established, especially in the high
schools Of the South. scientific agri~
cultural course of studies. This would
give our SOUS useful lessons, which
would be ten times the value to them
that the dead languages are, and quail
fy them to judge Of soils, and their
adaptcdness to particular plants.
The farmer should be informed in
geology; for, from this science, he will
learn the agencies that give specific
character to the soils he cu!tivates.
Chemistry is another science which
is essential to the farmer. 1t shows
the application Of chemistry to the
renovation Of exhausted soils-the pro-
perties Of animal and vegetable life
the modes Of retaining the greatest
strength to the different manures.-
The establishment Of an Agricultural
Department in our schools, is of the
highest Importance and We would urge
our Mississippi friends to look to their
own interests in this particular, at an
early day. We would be pleased to
hear from the Principals and Presidents
Of our high schools on this question,
and tender them the columns of the Nc
del farmer for their publicity.

AGR}CuL TUB
EsNW 10 Wash GlGthes.

Every housckeeper should have some
receptacle for solid linens, where they
should be kept until brought out for
washing. Clothes will accumulate
much filth by being thrown around
from one place to another as they are
removed during the week. An old
chest, or trunk, or even a box, set in
the closet and covered closely, will do
to keep them in.
| am an old Gogy in my way Of wash
ing. want pounding barrel, tub,
wash board, and good homemade soft
soap. I want d wringer, though they
are one of the cw-fanglca things, but
are good.
| suppose most farmers wives make
their own soap, and need not be stingy
in the use Of it. Plenty of soap and
water, skillfulIy applied, will ensure
you clean white linen.
On Monday morning (of course You
wash Monday-all good housekeepers
DO that, if it is possible) bring out
your dirty clothes, and sort them out.
This is very essential, for you cannot
have a good-looking washing if the
clothes are thrown in pel-mel, Pick
ont the sheets and pillow cases and
place in one pile; handkerchiets, cuffs,
and collars in another; napkins and
table-cloths in still another.
Wash all these separately then pick
out the wearing apparel which is least
soiled, and wash that. Boil the tiue
white clothes by themselves. Never
put garments made Of unbleached cot
ton in to boil with white clothes, put
them in with the brown table cloths
and towels Clothes do not need tc
boil more than ten minutes, if they are
washed clean before boiling.
Take them from boiling suls into a
tub full Of water. Many people dc
not suds and rinse thoroughly enough
Clothes will not look well, if any of The
lye from the soap be left in them
They will turn yellow when they are
irouod Ifyou have plenty Of water
suds them twice, and rinse in blue
water. Indigo is preferable to ''bIue,
ing The latter, which is put up III
boxes for sale, is nothing more nol
less than prussiate Of iron, and vii
impart an iron rust tinSe to the clothc.
after continued use.
If you use any Of the various fluids
fer washing, the clothes should be
soaked over night in suds, and be wrun2
out in the morning and put into the
boiler full of water, to which has beer
added the fluid. Boil for twenty min.
utes, take them out aud wash then
clean then suds and rinse as above
