A very interesting industrial problem is
under discussion in some Of the newspa-
pens, growing out Of tho following query
(Which Of the earsh's products employs
Tho greatest amount Of capilalgp Il Is q
problem requiring considerable research
for even an approximate solution, and the
ablest Of the editors who have thus far
entered on the inquiry, treat itwish good

IF Commerce thinks the inquiry might be
limited 10 three products--hay, cotton and
tea. Il this be 50, Though We do not
agree 70 the limitation to the three products
named, we think there can be but little
difficulty in demonstrating that "hay" or

an probability employs most capital
In order to contribute the Ledgers share
to the Investigation IF 50 interesting

leisure and taste for the Inquiry may fol-

In the first place it is to, be borne in mind
that the cotton and tea crops, although
large, and one Of them Of the highest
Importance, are, in one sense, local, as they
are limited to few countries, while the
hay or grass crop is universal Taking
the whole world the last must by far cut
weighthc other two. Next, let Us examine
the figures Of the recent census Of the
United States as to the capital employed
in agriculture and try to eliminate, in

An Unwholesome Season.


The closing days Of winter and the early days
OF spring are very trying 10 the feeble and seusi-
tive and are apt to affect unpieasantly even the
more robust and vigorous. Nothing can be more
uncongenial to the nerves or more depressing to
to the spirits than damp. chilling winds, fogs and
cold ,ains, and of such unwelcome visitors we
have asuperabundence at this season. Common
prudence suggests, therefore, the proprety of
terrifying the system against these insidious en-
emies of health and comfort, and the experience
of more than a quarter of a century points to
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters as the all-suficient
sanitary safeguard under such nutoward cir
cumstances. An accession of vital strength and
energy is what Is required tomeet and overcome
the unhealthy elements now present in the at
mosphere. This increase Of vital power, SO nee
essary to meet the extraordinary drafts which
an incement season makes upon the system and
the constitution, can be readily acquired by ia
king from two TO three doses of Hostetter's Bit.

The nature of this celebrated restorative is

absolutely pure diffnsve stimulant, medicaled

POWDER SPRINGS, Ga, Aug. 10Th.
MRssRs. EDiToRs-Thinking a few lines
on the condition of our people may not be
amiss, from the simple fact that the prosperity
or non-prsperity of any people effects society
as whole, and being mutually dependent
creatures we Of course must feel mutually in
terested in one another, therefore, this must
serve az an excuse for these remarks. We
have fine crops, plenty of fruit, and good health
prevails throughout this section. II was the
impression Of some learned men and Doctors of
our county, that il the water, in the mill pond
Of w. +. Anderson, was drawn off, as late in
the season az it was, that the deadly etiinvia
would create and increase more sickness In
stead OF decreasing the amount then prevailing
and prostrating the people, but it now seems
the knowledge Of these gentlemen could not
take hold upon the future with accuracy,
for through tile merciful interpositien Of q kind
Providence tie predicted evils have been
averied. Tie health Of the neghborhood In
the immediate surroundings Of Andeison's mill
has been improving ever since the first week
the pond If water was let off, We now scarce
ly hear ii any sickness at all. Every body we
meet has a .o,ils on, instead Of chill--their

for their health, they can return in safety

Der, under more favorable auspices than ever.
Those who have daughters or wards to edu-

the College foremost among the best education
al institutions of the country, where students
will enjoy every advantage requisite to perfect
them in every desired study We trust our
people will give unusual interest in building up
the insttution--it is one of the great wants OF
Marietta-in fact Indispensable to her pros
perity-and now that it is fixed fact, let our
people take pride in sustaining it. Talk for it,
work for it, and patronize it. The President is
the right man, Of extensive acquaintance,
and large experience, and successfully presided
over the Brownsville (Tenn.,) Female College
for a number of years, giving general satisfac-
ton. Now that he has become one OF us, let
us extend him every help.

THE RACE CONFLICT.
A pitched Battle in mississippi.

a Pttoned battle III Misslssippi.
MEMPHIS, August LA second
dispatch from Helena, Ark, says
that Maj. Horn Chalmers, of Her
nando, has just arrived here for the
purpose Of chartering boat to take
men to the assistance of the whites
in Austin, Miss. He says a courier
from Mayor Woodson, of Austin,
reached fernando at day light, sta
ting that the town was surrounded by
/ 200 negroes, and asking for help.
About 200 men from fernando and
vicinity will be there at 2 O'Clock,
and in company with volunteers
from this city, will start at 4 o'clock
for Austin. DR.. Smith, who is the
unfortunate cause Of the trouble
there, reached here last night. Some
three weeks since he was attacked
lin the streets of Austin, and drawing
his pistol fred at the negro, but
missed hin. and killed a little negro
girl standing by, which exasperated
the negroes to such an extent that
they collected a mob and took DR..
Smith to the woods to hang him,
which they would have done but for
the entreatiesr Of Mayor Woodson
and the Doctors wife. Since that
time DR.. Smith has been a voluntary
inmate Of the Jail to prevent being
mobbed, until last Friday, when
some friends came and carried him
to fernando. In leaving which the
negroes collected in large numbers
and notified the mayor that unless
he was brought back and put in Jail
they would burn the town.
LATER.-In the evening a large
body of negroes advanced from the
South and attacked the town, and
driving skirmishers TO the court
house, where q main body Of whites
we're stationed. A charge was made
by the whites, and the negroes were
repulsed with loss several killed and
wounded. Tie fighting was going
on when our informants left, and
they fred upon them as they crossed
over to Ship Island
THE dispatches from Memphis Of
18th are exciting apparently sensa-
tional. Politics it is said "has moth
ing to do with the NATTER The
whites abandoned Austin to protect
their families on the plantations and
the negroes took the town without
having been guilty of conduct antic-
ipated. A large force Of whites nm
der General Chalmers subsequently,
entered the town and found only
some thirty negroes most Of them
non-combatants. The reports state
the negroes are organizing below
Austin with a view Of retaking the
town..

THE BLOODY KNIFE.
Two Young Men Fight at a Camp Meet
ing and One Slabs the Other.

On Friday night last, at the Marietta Camp
Ground, while religious service was being held,
an alteration ensued between William Gober,
II years old, and Calhoun Pursley, 81 years
old, in regard to some supposed slanderous re-
marks put in circulation by one, which reflect
ed dishonor upon the other. Their interview
was anything but satisfactory, and in rage Of
passion blows were struck and the men both
went down to the ground in desperate strug-
Gle, when friends Of Gober interterred and sep
arated them, but they again became engaged in
conflict and We're again parted, when Pursley
installing the interference for an imposition,
resorted to more desperate mode of warfare
by drawing his knife and stabbiug Gober in
seven different places, one of the cuts in the
side being quite ghastly and deep. Gober was
removed to his home and his life at first was
departed Of, but we learn since he stands good
chance OF recovery. Pursley made his escape.
The sad affair is deeply TO be regretted.
