THE GOVERNORS KEEPER.

That able journal, the Constitution
(which it is" the State printer
seems to be the custodian of his
Excellency's conscience, and has an
intuitiye knowledge of all the intrl-
cate workings Of the mind and heart
of the distinguished gentleman who
occupies the gubernatorial chair Of
Georgia by virtue Of the vote OF
about one fifth Of her voting popula-
ton. The aforesaid organ condo
scends to let the vulgar public into
the great secret of the Governors
thoughts and sentiments regarding
the State scrip business in the fol-
lowing poetry:
"THE AGRICULTURALLAND SCRIP.
Those Of our few contemporaries
that arc complaining Of Governor
Smiths disposition of the land SCRIP,
insinuate that he allowed himself to
be oyerpersuaded by the influential
and distinguished gentlemen COM
posing the Trustees of the Stats
University, including such men as
Ex-Governor Jenkins, Gen. Toombs,
Chancellor Lipscomb.
at is due to Governor Smith to
state that his decision was made be-
fore the application of the Trustees,
that it was entirely uninhuenced by
them, and was based solely upon a
careful consideration of the law and
the facts. The Trustees had no
agefity whatever in forming his
Judgment. They simply received it
formally after his mind had been
made up"
Thisis all very nice, but then it
is extremely thin. What great
blessing it is that Col. Smith con
cluded to give the quarter million to
Athens before he was waited upon
by the distinguished Trustees and
professors. Really, if the whole
truth was known, we wouldn't be
surprised if Gov Smith-Alexander,
in the retirement and obscurity Of
his law Office in the village of Colum-
bus several years ago, while dream
ing of the greatness that was to be
thrust upon him as the successor of
his bovine majesty, the Bullock,
concluded then and there, by, and
with the advice and consent OF Pc
ter, to appropriate the land scrip to
the destitute and decayed aristocra-
cy of Athens. 1t was a grand idea,
worthy of his Excellency ; and the
only wonder is, that the great organ
of Atlanta hasn't ground out this
tune before. --GriDn Star,

SOUTH CAROLINA.

In an article on the Military reign
of terror in South Carolina the Col
umbia Phoenir says; While the
white people are mOmentarily in
dread of being arrested and dragged
to crowded and filthy prisons-whiIe
the fields of the husbandman are de-
serted and business paralyzed, the
State officials are giving notice of a
general confscation of the real prop
erty OF the State. large portion of
which has been levied on for taxes.
BY the law Of the present negro
Legislature the people have been
burthened with taxes beyond their
power TO pay, to enforce which a
statute has been enacted, authoriz-
ing and requiring the county Audi
tors to levy on and sell lands and
property for the payment of taxes
for the year 1865, 1859, 1870 and
1871, amounting to some million
and a quarter of dollars. All real
estate upon which any State or coun-
ty tax for these years remain I'M
paid is to be sold at public cutlery
on the first Monday in June, by the
terms of the Law Sin fec simple with.
out the right of redemption" \
more iniquitous and oppressive tax
law was never enacted by civil
zed government. 1t would seen
that Radical malignity will not cease
its prosecutions until the white pop
ulation is driven from the old Pal
metto State, and their lands ant
property confscated.

INDUSTRIAL AFFAIRS.

Frequent efforts have been made
within a, few years to excite the
public spirit of our citizens in the
accomplishment of enterprises deem
ed essential to the prosperity of our
locality. Partial or total failure has
attended them all and soon Railroads,
with their currents of activity and
enterprise will pass both sides of us
pouring the results of new resources
and increased commercial activity
into places more fortunate.
There is no occasion, however,
for complete dependency. Popu-
lation will increase-wealth will be
auemented-and the time will come
when this wealth and population will
bring the desired commercial tacllI-
ties. In the meantime it would be
we'll for us to reflect that though
much is lost, all il not lost. The en-
terprise of our farmers, this year,
promises an advance step towards
making our agriculture a secure
foundation for our prosperity. If
they succeed, as we have little
doubt they will, let ,other industries
be active and increasing to supply
all that the country needs and to af-
ford a market for our farmers, as
good, or better, than they can find
abroad and prosperity is certain.
We are pleased to see these indus
tries starting into life all around US.
Tanneries-Shoc Factories-Sash-
BarreI-Furniture- Broom-Chair,
and other Factories. Iron Foundry,
Mills, &c. 1t only needs skill and
industry to make all such enter
prses successful and it is these
which build up communities.
There is nothing to prevent our
selling goods as low and
aGording as good market for every
thing valuable as any place in Geor-
gia and the farmers in the surround
ing country should know that their
interests can be as highly served here
as elsewhere and that they may
know it our merchandising and
too often or too fire.
QucntIy solicit their patronage
through their local parer. Not to
do so argues an Indifference and lack
Of enterprise unworthy Of CONNER
cial men.

ward. The "Ring" at once in CRATE

FOR THE MARIETTA JOURNAL
ECONOMY IN AGRICULTURE.

After fifteen years spent in the
Recitation Room, unfolding theories,
demonstrating principles and striv-
ing to impress upon the minds of
youth, the grand truths Of science,
ill-health caused me to engage in
more active life, and ! determined
to apply myself to that noblest of
mans vocations, the tilling of the
soil | purchased a "worn-out''
farm, soil similar to that in this vi
entity. Like this, found it per-
vaded with the carbonates, sulphur
rets and sulphurrets of iron and
copper, entirely robbed of what little
alkaline matter it originally possess
ed. Lime being too costly to use
in large quantities, | dug large vat
under shelter, into which | carefully
put all my ashes and the ofl'aI of the
house. | next built a barn fifteen
feet high, 80 feet long. 20 feet wide,
surrounding the whole, save the
central part-l2 feet wide, with
stables, so that feed could be put in
to the managers from the main build
ing-all being under the same roof.
The stables were divided into stalls,
so that every animal had its own
separate stall In August, hauled
under a shelter, after having thor
oughly dried it, fifty cart loads of
clay. In October, began to stable
my stock ; | put every Saturday six
inches of the dried clay and on top
of it, six inches of leaves, gathered
from the timber, in each stall. The
following Saturday, this was all
wheeled out under a shelter, and a
fresh supply wheeled in. 1t was but
half days work for two hands
This twas done regularly, nothing
was allow ed to interfere with this
tasl. | deemed dollar spent in
this labor, the best investment ever
made. had my old fields plough
ed and thoroughly cleaned in De-
cember; and again in February
On the first of March, after thor
oughly mixing my ashes, &c, with
my manure, J began to haul and
spread it on my fields. After thor
oughly narrowing it, | sowed clover
and oats the whole country was
surprised at the result. l had a
triple crop of oats, and my clover
came up luxuriantly. l plowed un.
/ der the clover, when in full seed
The next spring it came up sill
more thickly if possible. l MOVED
from each acre two and a half tons,
worth so. In the fall plowed il
down again and sowed in wheat
Next year, y bushels to the acre
In four years, ! had raised my farm
to high state of cultivation com,
/ paratively il had doubled in value
my neighbors began 10 follow my
example, and cotton is now neglect
