GRIFFIN, Ga, JANUARY 6, 1870.
Messrs VHcoc, Gibbs .E co:
Yours Of tho 1st December, asking our
opinion as to the benefit, if any, derived from
the use Of your Guano was duly received,
We used on last cotton crop twenty four tons
ofyour Manipulated Guano.. The result has
been entirely satisfactory; our opinion Is
that ,ohere 200 lJs ,oas used to the acre on
vario,is soil, the Average Increase gof}yield
,vos double, and that we haye realized at least
100 per cent on the money invested in it.
We expect to to use more of it another year;
we shall use it on every acre we plant, liable
to buy it. We think, Judging from tho past
dry season, it will pay as we'll Of q dry as
wet season. We consider yours one of the
best and most reliable fertilizers il use.
Respectfully yours, ~aa

NEWS SUMMARY.


Last evening at the armory, No. 1913
Market street, q dress drill was given by
Company G of the 1st Regiment, "a Brigade,
of the Grey Reserves.
Last evening, shortly after > o'clock, a
two-story frame structure at the western end
of Chestnut street bridge, above Thirtieth
street, caught fire and was totally destroyed
1t was occupied by Mr.. Mehl as a tobacco
factory, and the loss, including the contents
is about $4,000. From this the flames COM
municated with McGamis coal yard djoin-
ing, setting fire to and destroying a number
of sheds. The loss is about $500. The fire
made great light, and led many persons to
believe that an extensive con6agration was
raging.
The Board of Public Education held q
regular monthly meeting yesterday afternoon
at their rooms, corner of Sixth and Adelphi
streets, M. Hall Stanton, Esq, in The chair,
and all the members present. After the
transaction of routine business of no gene
raj interest, DR.. Andrew Nebinger, from a
general committee appointed to Inquire into
a contract for ''Lawrenoes Model Reader, "
presented a report, signed by himself and
Messrs. p. A. Pagan aad Lewis Elkin, which
severely censures the firm which furnished
the board with ''Lawrence's Reader" at S14 40
per dozen, while furnishing the same at a
less price to booksellers The report recon-
mends that no business be henceforth trans
acted between the board and the designated
publishers. Mr.. Charles f. Abbott presented
a minority report, which sets forth that they
do not deem the publishers guilty of any
moral or legal wrong and if any fault was
committed, it laid with the board A lengthy
discussion followed. A motion to adopt the
minority report was lost-11 yeas to ID nays.
The ma jority report was then adopted and
entered upon the journal. Adjourned.

THE WAR NEWS.

A heavy battle was fought on Monday,
in the neighborhood of Wilson's, fourteen
miles south of Paris, on the Orleans rail-
road. The number of troops engaged is
estimated at so, 1000 Prussians and 80, 900
Frenchmen. The battle ragged all day.
The French we're posted on hills and in
the woods, and by means of their mitrail-
lcuses made frightful havoc among the
enemy. After six hours struggle at
Wilson's, the Prussians were forced to re-
treat. They fell back three miles on
Mouthbery, pursued by the victorious
French. Here another stand was made,
but in vain, and after more desperate fight
ing the defeated columns of the invaders
took refuge in Melun. The effect of this
victory will be to preserve the rail road
communication between Paris and Orleans
for the present, and to greatly raise the
spirits of the French soldiars and people
We have information also of a Prussian re.
pulse at the fort on Mont Valerien, in The
western suburbs of Paris, but details are
wanting. Other smaller engagements ar,
reported. The French have constructed
earthworks near St. Dennis and Clamart
The Garde Mobile around Paris, are kill
ing great numbers of Prussian scouts

The first car load of peaches ever shipped to
Baltimore, was. shipped from Middletown on the
l6th instant, by E. I. Evans, Esq. 1t was quite
a curiosity TO the Baltimoreans who receive their
peaches by steamers, and attracted considerable
attention. The peaches were sold for 81 so per
basket. Several other cars have been shipped to
that city since, and sold at satisfactory prices.
Another season, Baltimore may divide with New
York and Philadelphia, larger proportion Of
the Delaware crop.
Mr.. John T. Hayes, tobacconist, of this town,
is selling a brand of tobacco called Cupid
Chewing Tobacco" 1t is neatly done up in
packages covered with tin foil, and packed in
quarto-gross boxes, each box containing about
forty cents in silver change, of dimes and hall
dimes deposited in the packages. 1t outsells any
other brand in the store; for not only is the to-
bacco of an excellent quality, but the silver is
additional attraction.
THE LAST OF THE SEAsoN.-We are placed un-
der renewed obligation to Richard W. Chochran,
Esq. for basket of choice Smock peaches. We
are also indebted to Thomas S. Merit, Esq. fol
a basket of the same variety.
Sweet potatoes were never finer than they arc
this season; dry and firm. Irish potatoes are
very scarce and very dear.

the immediate construction of q complete
system of barricades in Paris. Henry
Rochefort has been charged with the su-
pcrntending of this work.
A vote has been taken in the city on
the subject of surrendering. 1t was deci-
ded by large majority to continue the
defence to the last.
The attitude of Russia grows still more
menacing towards Prussia NJ Theirs
has gone to St. Petersburg at the request
of the Gar. Prince Gostschakoff sent
him despatch begging him to hasten his
visit. Jules Favre has made an effort for
peace, but is yet without success. Bis
marck, it is reported, has expressed his
willingness to recede from his extreme de-
mands
Arrangements are being made in Prus-
sia, to declare King William Emperor Of
Germany The opposition of the South
German States is looked upon with ankle
ty by the imperiaists.
Republican demonstrations have taken
place in London. and the stars and stripes
were side by side with the red cross of
St. George.
Rome has fallen, and the temporal pow
er of the Pope is ended. The Italian
troops assaulted the city Wednesday. They
effected an entrance though the Porta Pia.
The Papal Zouaves made some resistance,
but fell back before the steady advance Of
the Italians. The fighting lasted but hall
an hour, the Pope ordering the white flag
to be hoisted. The city was then occu-
pied without further opposition. The Ro-
mans received the Italians with enthu-
siasm. The news of the final consumma-
tion of the unity of Italy created the wild
est excitement in Florence. Flags waved
from all the houses, and the people were
:'crazed with delight.

THE STATE ELEor1oNs OF 1870.

All State elections of 1870, thus far
held, have been, in the highest degree,
favorable for the Democracy. Connecti-
cut opened the ball in April with the
choice Of Democratic Governor, instead
Of Republican chosen the year previous.
Then came the judicial election for Appeal
Judges in New York, which resulted in
the success of the Democracy by the un-
precedcnted majority of $4,000 votes
Oregon followed in June. and elected
Democratic Governor, Congressman, and
Legislature, insuring the choice of Dem
ocratic United States Senator in the place
of Williams, Republican. In August the
Conservatives or Democrats is the
same thing in North Carolina--swept that
State, choosing two-thirds of the Legisla-
ture and the Congressional delegations,
and gaining another United States Sena-
tor. Hitherto the State had been Radical
by majority of many thousands. In
Kentucky, despite the addition of $4,000
negro votes to the polling list, the De-
mocracy still maintained their so, 900 ma
jority in the State. In Tennessee, at the
election of Judges, the vote showed fully
10000 majority for the Democracy in a
State that gave General Grant for Presi-
dent the heavy majority of 20 1000 votes.
Even in dark and benighted Vermont we
have made handsome Democratic gain,
while in Maine it amounts to many thou
sand votes.
These results in every part of the coun-
try are not owing to any local causes
They do not spring from any accident
They simply indicate that general dis
satisfaction exists throughout the country
at the management of our political affairs
and that there is widespread desire for
change. This feeling will be stronger e
vinced in the elections which are to come
in Ohio, Indiana and Pennsylvania. W.
have never known, in political expe
rience of many years, the last elections o
season going different from the earlier one
f The signs are auspicious and full of hope
In Missouri the Radicals have split int,
two waring and irreconcilable parts, an,
such ground has been taken as will b
certain, before 1872, to give that power
full State to the Democracy.
