Cotton in Georgia and Alabama.
ATLANTA Constitution July %. ]

This week we have seen intelligent planters
from Southwestern, Middle and Upper Georgia,
and all agree in saying that the crops are not
more than a week later than last year, whilst
many plantations in Southwest Georgia are a
week earlier than last year. Much of the cot
ton three to four feet high as full of fruit as it
can be; no shedding of bolls or squares, and
perfectly clean of grass or weeds except a few
abandoned fields, possibly FIVE per cent. of the
increased average, and plenty of open bolls.
Last year the first bale of new cotton from
this State was received July 81 the year before
August 0; this year the first bale will be in
market a week earlier than last year.
! The crop ofGeorgia is very fine indeed, and
win average fully 100 per cent.
Our correspondent from Middle Alabama
writes us, ''the past two weeks have made an Ell.
tire change for the better in the cotton crop"

BalkY Horse.

Your correspondent 49," asks how he
shall treat his balky horse. have plan
that seldom fails to start the unruly animal
in few minutes, and if persevered in,
generally effects permanent cure, but it
is too difficult of application to become
generally useful. Have with you small
quantity of whole corn, and when a rene
dy is needed go gently to the horses head
with a handful, and coax him with caresses
while he eats from the hand. Attempt to
lead him, holding the corn little way be-
fore him, and when he goes quietly and
shows that his temper has subsidized, leave
him with his mouth full of corn, get in the
vehicle and speak to him to 90 on, using
quiet manners just as if nothing was
wrong and if he refuses apply the same
treatment again, and again if necessary,
until success attends. Perhaps it may not
be clear to the reader what the difficulty is
inapplying this remedy. 1t is in the worse
than balky disposition of the driver, who
would rather succeed once in twenty times
by passionately whipping, than nineteen
times in twenty by gentleness. Only q
gentleman can manage balky horse, and
while there are plenty of gentlemen in So
ciety, there are not so many gentlemen in
the treatment of animals. A very little
observation and reflection will show that
gentleness is quite as commendable as gen.
tility, and is followed by as good results
both upon our own characters, and upon
our success in "getting alOng' comforta
bly, with animals of all species, mankind
and 1Oonlan-kind included Country Gen

Where the Duelist Stood when the War
Opened.

Colonel 7. y. Thorpe, the editor Of the
Spirit Of the Times, is authority for the
statement that of the professed duelists in
the South, at the time of the breaking out
of the war, not one occupied front posi-
ton in any battle line. He declares for u
fact that mot a noted or obscure duelist
answered to the summons that echoed back
from the frowning walls of Fort Sumpter
Their hearts stood still, and their souls
quailed at the demand for their steady cour-
age, which makes the truly brave face
death for principle. The whole crew Of
the instigators of death by the means of the
duello in the entire South sink out of sight,
burying themselves in safe places, acting
as leaders Of the 'stay-at-home guards

Mr. f. E. Jones, who is ina position to

other community informs us that out of
about one hundred and twenty members of
ST. Joseph's Total Abstinence Society, only
one had an attack of cholera, and that

Turnips.

This is very important article about q
farm, and you can never have too many.
II you will prepare your ground well, in
different patches and then, commencing
the middle Of June, SOW some every two
weeks up to the first of September, you are
certain to have stand Of turnips; and if
your seed be good your turnips will be ex-
cellent. A good Tennessee farmer has act
ed on this plan for nearly half a century,
and he always has plenty for family use,
for his grazing stock and to put up for win
ter, feed and greens enough to supply the
whole neighborhood besides all he can
gather to sell in market. 1t is good plan
also to SOW them among your corn as you
clay 1t by" dressing the ground with q
harrow. These are fine for winter grazing,
They are good for milk cows liz spring be
fore grass comes up, and pay we'll for all
trouble ana expense of producing them.

NASHVILLE, July 21.-Twenty-flve hun

Church here to-day, to offer praise and
thanksgiving for the abatement of cholera
in this city and its general subsistence
throughout the State. Rev. n. G.. Merry
presided No race has better reason to
render thanks to the Almighty for its dis
appearance, for to them it proved a de-

out of total of twenty-five thousand per-
sons in Davidson county, were swept into
the grave One night during the late epi-
demic seventeen of their dead lay out upon
their cemetery for want of burial, which
was not consummated until the following
morning, few being willing to serve in the
capacity of grave-diggers in such an emer-
