Report of the Western Hog and

will publish tomorrow about column
of Information regarding the corn and
hog crop in the several Western States,
which shows Iowa has an excellent corn
crop, but only rs per cent as many
hogs as last year, and greatly reduced
i'm weight. The Illinois corn crop will
be about one-thiFd less than last year1
and hogs one-half less and much lighters
Missouri will have poor corn crop and
a large falling off in hogs. In Kansas
and Nebraska there will be a great re-
duction in both corn and hogs. aT7 4H9d

THE nomination of Judge Porter as
the Conservative and Democratic candi
date, seems to give pretty general satis-
faction. If there is likely TO be less ens
thusiasm I'm the western and middle pOr-
tiOns of the State, where he is more fa-
miiiarIy known, it will be only from n
misapprehension of his political bias.
We have heard that the impression had
obtained among some of our East Ten
nessee friends that the nominee was an
early and late Bourbon. Nothing could
be further than this from the truth.
Judge Porter was born and bred Whig
was an original Unionist, and, as such,
a member of the State General Assembly
of 1S59-'6O. We have never understood
him to be an extreme man, or blind
partisan. lie is gentleman Of known
firmness and integrity, an experienced
legislator, and a practical man of busi-
ness. His popularity will increase as
the canvass progresses, and as the peOl
pie who know him but by name and
reputation viii come 10 know him more
intimately.

THE COMING MAN

Bob Toombs intends running
for Governor.-At. Herald.
Bob Toombs, for Governor! He
declares himself to be an senemy to
the United States" and as such he
would keep the State authorities ar
rayed against the United States gov
ernment, which would be detrimen-
tai to the prosperity and best inter-
ests of our people. We are a
Johnny Reb" in sympathy, nativi-
ty and principle, and have as much
to hate the "yankee government"
for as any man, but we don't propose
to keep our country in strife and 500
cial chaos, when our hearts all yearn
for peace, prosperity, and happy
homes. 1t is not patriotic or
statesmanlike to allow Claiming
ambition" to sway the reason in hos
tile hatred against the government
you live under and to whose pow
er you owe the Allegiance of good
citizenship. We need cooler head
and a more temperate Judgment, and
a man freer from old feudal preju-
dices, than Bob Toombs. We have
a man in North Georgia, whose elc>
quent, silvery oratory, grand, COM
prehensive mind, unprejudiced judg-
ment, coupled with christian probi>
ty, frmness of principle, financial
ability and legal attachments, who
will eminently be the ''coming man"
for Governor of Georgia and that
man is Hon. w. D. Anderson, of
Cobb. North Georgia is entitled to
the nominee and we are determined
to fight desperately for it. Demo-
cratic harmony and unity and JUS
tice, demand that the claims of this
section of Georgia be recognized
and acceded to.

DEVELOPING THE FERTILITY OF
THE SOIL.

Rain, sunshine, alternate heat and
cold, together with the powerful ac-
ton Of electricity, have been disin.
tegrating, pulverizing and dissolving
the rocky surface Of the earth from
time immemorial, for the purpose Of
producing a soil adapted to the pro-
duction of useful plants which, in
process of time, become adequate to
the sustenance Of living creatures.
A fertile soil must be formed before
useful plants can fruit grow; and
useful vegetables, and grain must
grow out of the soil, or animals land
human beings cannot propagate their
species. But pulverized granite,
ground gypsum, marble dust, or the
-four of shale, or slate, If ground
ever SO fine, cannot be denominated
a soil. Still, the surface Of a bar
rem country were covered foot or
or more in depth with finely pulver-
lied rock, (say the -four Of granite)
the unavailable fertility in that mel
low bad could be easily developed so
as produce soil that would yield
one hundred bushels Of Indian corn
per acre, or forty bushels Of fine
wheat, or three tons of prime hay
per acre.
Certain species Of weeds and plants
possess a wonderful power ia prepar-
ing soil for the luxuriant growth
Of vegetables and grain>producing
plants. Fertile soils have been
formed simply by the working which
the ground received by the growth
of vegetation supplemented BY the
fertilizing material which was annu-
ally restored to the seed bed when
all vegetable growth returned to
dust. Taking the hint from the in
structive operations Of Nature, till
ers of the soil can readily perceive
how easily piece Of ground Of only
ordinary fertility can be made to
yield one hundred bushels ofshelled
corn per acre, forty bushels Of
wheat, ono hundred Of oats, or one
thousand bushels of excellent tur-
nips. This can be accomplished by
sowing about four bushels Of Indian
corn per acre twice every season,
and ploughing the green crops un-
der for few successive years.
