A Mysterious Visit.

The Charleston News, of yesterday
says:
On Friday last, about eighteen
miles from the bar, tho pilot boat
Perry was spoken by small rakish
steamer, yacht like in style, and ap'
parcntly manned and armed for ao
hon. On communicating with the
steamer, it was understood that an
officer with dispatches desired to como
to town, and an agreement having boon
made, tho passenger was taken on
board tho Perry, and reached here
on Friday evening, and was accommo'
dated at the Charleston Hotel. Tho
matter remained quiet until Satur-
day, when the officer was visited and
gave tho following information His
namo is j. Auguste Chauvoaux, Sec
ond lieutenant of tho Cuban steam
gunboat Pioneer, commanded by Cap
tain Francis l.. Norton first licutcn-
ant, James II. Hatricks sailing mas.
ter, Roscoe II. Cain ; boatswain, Bcr-
nard johnson.
The Pioneer is armed with two
thirty-pounder Parrots and one eigh-
tccn-inch French rife gun, with u fiue
crew of able-bodied men. Tho
steamer, it is reported, has been cruis.
ing for somo time in tho inlcts and off
the coast of the eastern end Of Cuba,
and was last from Cape Maysi. There
worc no lulo battles reported on the
islands, but tho lieutenant is of the
opinion that the Spaniards will finally
be driven off by the revolutionary
forces. Important dispatches were
brought here, which will bc sent
North to tho friends Of the Cuban
cause.
Lieutenant Chauveaux was found
to be Courteous, but re;iccnt as to tho
movements Of the steamer. He left
yesterday morning on the Northeas
tern train on his way to New York.
y suspicion is entertained that tho
Pioneer it none other than the eup-
posed Cuban lilibuster Fannie, which
recently cleared from Baltimore, and
was chased on tho night of tho 7th i'll

Irish POtutOcS in Middle Georgia.

Mr.. Henry Temples great and SIM
plc mode Of culture should DO gener.
ally known. lie plants on tho red
lands of Millodgeville, Georgia.
First-two crops year tho fall
crop much the best, and keeps fresh
and sound all winter, like Northern
potatoes.
Second-No rotation ho plants tho
samo ground for ten years.
Third-Tho crop averages pound
to tho square foot-sometimes double
that. The spring and fall crop
together not less than one thousand
bushels por aoro.
Fourth-Ilis mode, the simplest Of
all published, viz: (a) Manures broad.
cast, say half inoh coating, or more.
(b) Thon plows and cross. .plows, doep,
with a common "rooter." This keeps
tho manure on top Of tho grounds
main point. (c) Plants vory close
about one seed to every square foot
!. e., drops seed about ten inches
apart in ''rootor" furrow, and cover
with tho next furrow and SO on,
dropping seed in every furrow, and
covering about as doep us corn. (d)
Lastly, covers tho ground with pine
straw, about throe inches deep, or
more. In tho spring don't spread
straw until the seeds is we'll sproutod
and coming up; for the earth is cold
and wet then, and tho seed needs
warm sunshine. But in July, when
you plant tho fall crop, cover with
straw Immediately, SO as to keep tho
ground oool and shaded.
Fitth-July planting, for the fall
crop, needs special oare Of the seed, Or
it will fail to sprout and como up
but little caro- insures it. AL
needed is, just dig potatoes enough
three or four weeks beforehand of tho
spring crop-say early in Juno-and
lay them away in dark room, 30 that
tho eyes or buds may ripcn. Then
plant aud cover with the "rooter,"
plow and Pine straw in July, and your
fall crop is surc-nIaking very small
weed, but very large potatoes.
Sixth-Mr. Temples culture is
great success q simple truth in
Georgia agriculture.

JQyllaWkCrS.

An article by Judge Hannay, in
the Kansas Magazine, gives the origin
OF tho word "Jayhawkers," as used in
Kansas history. In 1856, an indi.
vidual named Patt Devlin was seen
entering tho village of Ossawotomic,
in Miami county. lie was riding q
mule, and loaded with no inconsidera-
Bile amount of plunder. "You looks as
if you had been out on an cxcursian," >"
said somo one to him. "Ycs," said
Pat, 81 have been out jayhawking. :"
Pat then explained that tho jayhawk
or was n bird in ireland which warn,
cd its prey before dcvouring it. From
this little incident sprang tho uso OF
the word.

The Charges Against Treasurer Parker.

The circular of Treasurer Parker
in reference to the appropriation for
public schools exonerates him from
blame in not paying out said appro-
priation. We are glad to see that he
has at last put the responsibility where
it properly belongs, and hope no will
continue to "rise to explain" other
matters equally interesting to the
people. He is charged with paying
money out of the treasury to defeat
impeachment, and to keep out Of tho
penitentiary the thieves in high posi-
tions who have plundercd the State
and ruined her credit. We ask, him
to say upon whose order this money
was paid, to whom, and in what
amounts. We know that Mr.. Parker
can fasten this corrupt expenditure
whero it belongs, therefore we ask
him to do it, as fully and as clear as
he docs this school appropriation. In
addition he can toll how much money
was paid out to pass such infamous
measures as the validating bill, inten
ded only to shield and protect dis
honest officials from the penalty of the
law. Let him state tho facts boldly
and fearlessly, and then the people
will see why our schools are closed, our
judges unpaid, our benevolent institu.
tions on tho charity Of individuals
and why tho reply Of "no money" ia
given to tho creditors that daily be.

The Greeley Mania.

The enthusiasm for Greeley in the
South, which is difficult for US to un-
derstand, is at once undignified and
unwise. We are prepared to take
him as choice of evils, but not to
fall down in homage at the feet Of
the philosopher. 10 occupy any
other position than that of constrain-
ed support, would be for us to in.
dulge in hypocrisy, inasmuch as we
cannot forget though wo arc willing
to forgive the past. Amnesty for
amnesty is right enough but enthu-
siasm in this piece of business for
business it is-amazes us.
But there is another consideration
which should not be lost sight
Of. We had ample experience in the
Seymour campaign, and should be
Instructed now that our ardent sup
port of any man at the North must be
hurtful. When hesitatipg Republi-
cans in that section see that such con-
spicuons "rebels" as Bcauregard, and
Malone, and Hood, and Bragg, and
Gordon, and D. II, Hill, and Pickett,
and Admiral Semmes, are counted
by our papers as in favor of Greeley,
then they begin to apprchend new
"rebellion," and find themselves in
fit fame of mind to listen to the war
speeches of Morton, Logan & Co.
Appeals to mems passions and
prcjudices are proverbially more po-
tential than those addressed to their
reasons it is in this knowledge that
Grant advocates all, with one ac~
cord, endoavor to iufame the North
ern masses against us by hideous in.
vention, all foreshadowing a new "ro-
bellion," and grand St. Bartholo.
news day for the emancipated
blacks.
This is all absurd. Mono know
this better than VIC do but the pco-
pie of tho North have been studiously
educated to believe that wo are ripe
for treason and stratagems. Certain
ly it begins to look, in some quarters,
as if few of our people were not in.
different to the spoils, even though
gathered at the heels of Grant.
We have correctly represented tho
temper Of large body of citizens at
the North. They are honestly be-
!, lieving that we arc meditating sedi-
tion, privy conspiracy and rebellion,
and when they see Mr.. Groeley's
name hailed with enthusiasm in the
South they become alarmed.
Let US, then, moderate our words
and actions. We stand committed,
as we understand the situation, to a
choice of evils, and there can be no
hesitation in our selection but let
us make this with becoming dignity.
Self respect and sourd policy both
, dictate this course, and if our coun.
sells prevail, what we have to do in
this canvass will be done resolutely
and in solid column, but without sound
of trumpet and hauuting of banners.

Judge Orr ut PHILADELPHIA.

1t may be that Judge Orr possesses
that Roman tirmncsss and patriotism
which induce him to order his own
son to disgraceful death. But we
hardly think so. We think he went
out Of the way in Philadelphia to
laud the worst act of tyranny and op-
preston that the present century has
witnessed, by oxtolling the Ku Klux
laws and praising General Grant for
his clemcDcy in J. locking in bastiles
those who werc his first friends aud
his present neighbors.
No one knows better than Judge Orr
that in all these cases tho juries, both
grand and petit, were packed not to
try but to convict and he also knows,
that out Of more than five hundred
cases submitted to the grand jury,
the unprecedented and hitherto un-
heard of result was, that true bills
were found against each and every ono
of them. And yet with these facts be
fore him he maligns the State, rcjoiccs
in the bittor punishment of his neigh.
bors, and in loud sounding terms
praises the despotic hand that puts
upon them deep and humilating
degradation. Our personal relations
to Judge Orr make US deeply regret
thnt he should feel called upon to
take course SO damaging to him as q
man and as one Of the administrators
Of the laws Of this State. - George.
