Disaster to a sReligious'' Sect.

Disaster to ssReligious" Sect.
- Our readers are familiar with the his
tory of the "New Canaanites," colony o1
religio-communists, hailing from Massachu
setts, who, near twelve months ago, settled in
Columbia county, Georgia, about eleven miles
from Augusta. At first their ranks were
thin; but they gradually received accessions
until the colony at one time numbered about
one hundred, and were progressing finely
with their peculiar views until last Thursday
when the leader was pounced upon by the
officers of the law, and arrested on charge
of adultery and fornication.
From the Augusta Chronicle we learn that
the leader of these singular people, Joseph
T. Curry, assumed over his followers the
most dictatorial authority, proclaiming him
self the prophet Yahveh, the Great Ruler Of
the Universe, and not unfrequently proclaim
ing himself to be the Saviour of the World
No special notice was taken ofthe Yahveh and
his pretensions, until recently, when it trans
pired that he had proclaimed the laws Of
marriage abolished, and was the first to avail
himself of the license which his edict granted
His lawful wife became so shocked at the
immoral practices Of the members of the
colony, and especially of her husband, that
she returned to her home in Massachusetts,
while the outraged citizens of Columbia coun'
ty determined to bring Curry to answer for
his evident life of adultery, led under the
cloak of so.called religious faith. Accord
ingly, warrants were issued, and he was ar
rested and conveyed to Appling on Thursday
last, when, after an investigation, he was held
in bond of $500 for trial at the next term
of the court. In default of bail, the Yahveh
went to Jail.
Mexican Progressiveness.
We, some time ago, had the pleasure of
announcing quiet and good order in Mexico,
and the further gratifying fact that the people
of this hitherto turbulent and revolutionary
republic had given up their chronic and insa'
table thirst for fighting each other, and set
tied down in the peaceful pursuits of respect
able and law. abiding citizens, having peacea-
bly, elected complement of officers. But,
gratifying as this happy state of affairs should
be, even the most sanguine were not prepared
for the rapid strides which it seems our sister

As said before. there is no doubt but what
Mr.. Stephens will be elected. The Republi-
cans really have majority of the voters in
the district, but they are in such demoral-
lied condition that they will not be able to
successfully cope with the hosts of Stephens.
There are not enough whites of true party
stripe to organize the blacks.
So we may look for the smooth, kind face
of Mr.. Stephens in the next Congress. He
does not go there, as Andy johnson proposed
to, "to make Rome howl ;" but for the more
laudable purpose of instilling the "true JEFF:
fersonian principles into the Democratic
party and into the government as we'll.

SALES.DAY.

Monday last being sales-day, large num-
Der of persons were in town from the country,
few of whom were attracted by the sales
advertised to take place, and many Others
came for the purpose of paying their taxes.
The Treasurers Office was crowded from early
in the morning until late in the evening, and
so great was the rush, that many persons
could not be accommodated. Impatience is
manifested by some, while others are inclined
to be captious; though it is but due to the
Treasurer and his assistants to say that they
do every thing in their power to accommodate
all, and that they make settlements and deliv-
er receipts as rapidly as it is possible for them
to do so.
Many of our friends from the country avail
ed themselves of the opportunity to call in
and renew their subscriptions for the current
year; while the returns Of several club-ma-
kers who reported to us, show that they have
not been idle. Our thanks are rendered to
one and all for the interest manifested in the

STATE AND COUNTY TAXES.

The time fixed for the payment of State
and county taxes expired on Tuesday last
We learn from the County Treasurer that the
people of the county have never been more
prompt in the liquidation of taxes, and out
of about forty-fve hundred tax payers, not
more than three hundred have failed to pay
The total assessment in the county is near
about $4,000, of which amount but com.
paratively small sum remains unpaid. 1t is
gratifying fact to note that the colored pop
ulation have been unusually prompt in the
payment of their taxes, and that of this class
buta small number have as yet failed to COM
ply with the requirements of the law.

FROM UNION COUNTY.
FARM AND GARDEN.

Farmers have generally made their ar,
rangements for the present year. Good hands
are in demand. Rents and wages very little
changed. From the Broad river and Thickety
country, several colored families have gone
Mississippi-ward. Laborers have commenced
work in earnest. Of course, cotton is to be
the big thing this year. Many farmers talk
of planting nothing else.
Wheat makes poor show. That sown af:
ter the middle of November is just now up to
good stand. The earlier sown is very small.
The acreage is smaller than usual 80 that
for the next eighteen months we have to look
to northern and western wheat fields for our
flour.
Fertilizers generally paid very we'll last
year, consequently there will be an increased
demand the present season. Agents are out
now with almanacs, circulars and certificates.
The opinion of our safest farmers is that one
year with another. fertilizers pay fair per
cent. but it will not do to base our calcula-
tions on the published certificates.
Now is the time to build new gardens and
make old ones rabbit-proof. Early vegeta-
bles should be planted as soon as the ground
warns up little. The stirring ofthe soil and
working manure into it will warm it up, and
make garden earlier. If an abundance of
good seed have not been saved, supply Of
the best should be procured at once. As a
general thing, home-raised seed, carefully Sc
lected and preserved, are the best !; but when
these are not to be obtained, let the best va
rieties be bought at the seed store. For the
information of those in search of the best
peas weshould say that McLean's Little Gem,
the Eugene and Champion Of England can
not be excelled. They are all wrinkled peas,
consequently sweet. They yield abundantly,
and come in just at the proper time, and in
the order mentioned above. The first variety
is the lazy mans pea, for it grows only ten
inches, needing no sticks. Of course the lazy
man does not care how low his wife has to
stoop in gathering them. The second variety
grows two feet, and the third five. All peas
require a rich soil and deep preparation.
Owingto to the unfavorable weather no plow.
ing has been done. The "oldest inhabitant"
does not remember winter with such uniform
cold weather. The roads are almost impassa-
