by Col G. r. Locket Of Georgia, who
made the experiment on six acres of land.
The average yield Of Georgia cotton
lands is quarter OF a bale to the acre.
He aimed to make three bales from each
Of his six acres. The land was highly
manured, deeply and infinitely cultivated
and kept In the best order, aud the result
is that notwithstanding the severe drouth

Immediately after the victory. Bowling

1867. ~
in 1864 Texas was again invaded by
Gen. Banks, with 25,00O men, occupying
Brownsville, Tndianola and Lavaca, Mat
aoorda Bay, and Matagorda peninsula.
Gen. Mapruder called on the militia, who
responded promptly; and adding them to
his own handful Of regulars--numbering
in all about 10000 men--hs took up a
position at the mouth of the Caney river,
on the coast, between Matagorda and
Galveston bays--thrcw up strong fort,
under the fire OF the Federal feet for six
weeks; and so disposed his command
that il Gen. Banks marched on San Anto-
MO, be would DO in his rear; and II on
Galveston, he would bo on his flank.
Gen. Banks finally withdrew from Texas,
to undertake his Red River expedition.
Gen. Magrudcr generously lent all his
troops and supplies to assist Gen. Tay-
lor in meeting Gen. Banks; and no one
was more gratifed than he at that gallant
officers success at Mansfield and Pleas
ant Hill Indeed, jealousy and envy, un-
fortunately so common among members
of the professions, are no part Of his
character Toward his military oppe-
nents, during the war, he acted with chiv
airy toward his prisoners with marked
kindness and generosity,
Gen. Magruder served brief campaign
in Arkansas; and resumed command IN
Texas only to share In the trouble and
modification that followed on Lees aud
Johnston's surrender. To the last he was
hopeful to the last he was ready to fight,
If backed up by the army and people.
So completely, however, had he kept
Texas clear of invasion, that when the
time for surrender came. there was no
Federal force there to whom q surrender
could be made; and he was compelled to
carry out the painful ceremony, by going
aboard Federal vessel off Galveston.
Gen Magruder, though entrusted with
the irresponsible control Of millions OF
dollars worth Of cotton, whilst in COM
mand in Texas, preferred honorable pov
erty to any abuse Of his trust and at the
close Of the war would not have been able
to leave Texas Tor Mexico but for the
voluntary aid Of few Texas gentlemen
--and, if we mistake not, some Texas la
dics--who felt how deeply the State was
indebted to his valer and skill for her cs-
cape from the ravages Of the war g
Gen. Magruders family came from
Europe and met him in the City Of Mcxi-
co, where he had the honor OF becoming
intimately acquainted with the unfortu-
nate Macmillan and Cerlotta, whose ex.
ceeding kindness to him and his com.
rades in arms has made it a pleasurable
duty to him to defend their memory, ex
tol their virtues, and lament their sad

How Some Things are Done.

A queer case was that of a physician Of
Connecticut city, Doctor --, who, OIL
going to the opera with friend was caution
ed at the ticket officcto lookout for pickpock-
cts He clapped his hands to his watch, a
valuable gold one engraved with his mama
and the name of the society or friend WHO
gave it to him. 1t was there all right and
he made sure Of keeping it there by keeping
his hand on it through the performance of tho
opera. On coming out what was bis aston
ishment to find his watch gone! It had been
| taken in spite of his watchfulness. Reflect
| ing that watch so engraved could not well
be disposed of even in New York. he adver-
| tised his loss in the next mornings papers,
and added that reward (s100) would be
paid for its recovery, and no questions asked.
Before noon the bell rang, and very elegant

watch.

Shocking Occurrence.

On Friday, I'd Instant, horrible occur
renee took place in Robinson township, the
country, which we think has seldom been cx-
celled in the annals of shocking accidents A
gang of men were thrashing With machine
in Il barn upon the farm of the late N FL. NJ
Pollock, whose sudden death we reported
last week About fonr O'Clock in the even
ing the machine was being run with great
rapldity, in order to finish LOT of grain be
fore supper, when it was discovered that one
of the Journals had cheated" and set fire to
the machine. A young man named John
Reed son OF Matthew Reed, of Robinson
township was driving at the time and seeing
the fire, jumped up on the feed board for the
purpose OF putting out the flames, when I'm
fortunately, both his feet were caught by the
revolving cylinder, and, horrid to tell, he was
| instantly drawn into the machine up to the
body, of course tearing off and crushing hi
limbs. This part OF the occurrence was ter
riqe enough bat villa: followed is even more
shocking The men at work in the barn in
stantly rushed to the relief Of young Reed.
| but the united efforts of a .ozen men could
not drag his mang!cd ley from the teeth OF
the machine. In the midst of the excite
| meat the nre III moment gained such head
| way that it WAS impossible to stop it, and al
though every cxertion was made to relieve
| Reed, tue sheet of fame that soon filed the
| baru compelled the abandonment of him to
| his fate
There he lay with both limbs torn in
shreds, powerless to help himself and beyond
the assistance from those friends who tried so
hard to save him till driven off by that sea of
fame. aud there he died. in what agony none
can imagine; and his las waiiny cry Of hope
lessness, '.Oh am burning up alive!' must
ever be impressed on the memory of all who
heard it Till their dying hour. The fire com
lnunicated to the stable, the wagon she3:. and
lastly to the dwelling, those buildings togcth-
er with all their contents-except few
household articles, that were saved were to
tally consumed.
Saturday morning few bones all that re-
manned Of young Reed, was taken from the
! ruins and was Inferred on Sabbath III kac-
coon cemetery.
Mr. Reed was a young man of unexcep-
tionable character, and much respected by a !
his acquanfances.
We understand that estimated loss is from
six to eight thousand dollars, the heaviest
p,rt of which will TALL upon the estate Of Mr.
Pollock aud the balance upon Samuel Match
ct and J Clisty who owned share Of the
grain.
Upon the whole it was one of the NEST la.
'nenrabe and shocking calanrties we have
ever recorded The sufferers Of course have
the sympathy Of everybody = Weelay Rr9
