GEORGIA.
RepO of the Commissioner
0fAgricuIture.

The Report of the Georgia State
Commissioner of Agriculture for
September shows that the corn
crop is thirty -four per cent.
better then last year; cotton tif-
teen per cent. better; sugar cane
thirty-three; ground peas four,
and sweet potatoes eleven. The
turnip crop is almost a failure on
account of drought. Very little
small grain sown on the account
brought, but it is not too late to
SOW yet in this climate. Cotton
picking is much futher advanced
than last year. 1t is estimated that
the bulk of the crop will be gath
er by the first of November. So far
tits nearly all gathered in univer-
sally good condition. Hogs have
been universally exempt from
cholera this year, and those for
slaughter this fall are seven per
cent. Greater in number and bet
ter in quality. The stock of hogs
it generlly improving, All forage
crops have been savedin extraor-
dinarily fine condition; and near
ly a full supply made. The sea
son has been remarkably favora-
BILE for gathering matured crops,
but very unfavorable for crops
not maturedSnd for sowing small
grain.

VOTE TIE WHOLE TICKET

The Chattanooga Commercial
says: "
It's the duty of all Republic
ans to give their entire support
to the nominees of the party in
the coming political contest. 1t
is their duty because the welfare
of the State and country would
be ProsQoted by the election of
honest representatives of these
principles. Nothing could have
so snicidal an effect as to allow
any personal considerations to in
fluence action at the polls at pres
ent. When personal considera-
tiOns are of such a character as
to involve principle, then men
may be justified in basing their
political action upon them. If
they involve nothing more than
mere dislike or personal interest
they should be layed entirely
aside, and will be by all Repub-
licans who have the interests and
principles Of the party at heart.
To vote for one Of the men or
half Of the men whose names are
upon the ticket is no more doing
the duty of a Republican than O.
beying one half Of the command
ments and letting the other half
go is the performance of Chris
tian duty. In Tennessee there is
little hope, we might as well say
no hope, of carrying the national
ticket. Republicans who con
tent themselves with voting for
the national nominees alone con
tent themselves with doing an act
equivalent to staying at home. If
they would have their votes tell
for good to Tennessee they must
vote for all Republicans from
governor and congressman to the
last man on the ticket. We
speak not in jest when we say
that a general Republican victo-
ry IN tennessee would be worth
more to her, in a nero .pecuniary
point Of view the three new rail
roads, running from one end to
the other, each way. Every Re
publican that we elect is a step
ping-stone toward that result. If
we keep moving along, shoulder
to shoulder and with a will, We
shall gain ground each year, and
ere many years conquer. If VIC
allow ourselves to be divided by
personal or local considerations,
we shall lose ground each year,
and success will ever be an cgsis
tatusss TO US.

TEE UTES.
A General Uprising Feared I'm
the SOuthXyest.

A special from Leavenworth tC
the st. Louis Globe Democrat says
reports received there indicate
that there are fears of a general
uprising among the Ute Indians
in Colorado, as the warriors OF
that tribe have been for some
time in doubtful attitude, and
some fear of an outbreak has
been felt in New Mexico. The
Indians Of that section have made
several warlike demonstrations
and, have collided with the United
States troops more than once.
From information receided from
New Mexico, it is extremely prob.
able that the Indians will in.
dulge in a general insurrection as
soon as opportunity offers, as
they are without doubt one OF
the most treacherous tribes on
the continent. Sheriff Richard
Coles, Of LaPlatte county, tele-
graphs from Parrott City to Gov,
Routt, asking for assistance, say
ing that the Utes number fully
two thousand, and are about to
make a raid. Col. Hatch, COM
manding the New Mexico Dis
trict, also telegraphs to Gov.
Routt from Santa Fe, saying that
if he so authorized him he would
issue arms to the citizens, as the
inhabitants Of La Platte, Las Ami
mas and Parrott City were afraid
of immediate outbreak. Gov
Routt telegraphed Gen. Pope at
Fort Leavenworth, informing him
Of the state affairs, and asking
him to authorize Col. Hatch to
issue arms to the citizens, but re-
ceived a reply to the effect thai
only the President could author
ize him to do so. Gen. Pope sta
ted, however, that Col. Hatch had
enough troops at Forts Union
Wingate and Garland to suppress
the outbreak should any occur

A good resolve.


At the netting of the stoclkhol-
ders Of the Il. T. V. e. q. II. r. in
Knoxville last week the follow
ing was adopted:
Whereas, The people of the
United Statos recognize the Sab
bath as q day of rest, and the
command to every one is, "Re.
member the Sabbath day to keep
it holy"
Therefore, recognizing those
commands upon us as stockhel-
ders of the East Tennessee, Vir-
ginia and Georgia Railroad Com
pany, we do earnestly recon-
mend and enjoin it upon the off
GERS of the road to suspend the
running of the daily Sabbath
trains at least II hours, if adjoin-
ing roads will concur, in order
that the employees of said road
may have the privilege and
opportunity to attend the preach
ing or reading Of Gods word upon
the Lords day; that they may
accept the invitation: " Believe
on the Lord Jesus Christ and be
saved" therefore,
Resolved That we, as stockholdei
to hereby request our President
and Superintendent to carry out
the intent of the preamble by
comforting with the adjoining
roads to suspend the running o
the daily trains upon the Lord
day. The resolution was unani
| mously adopted.

EXPENSES OF THE STATE
GOVERNMENT.

The American af the 1st of Sept.
gave a table containing the ag-
gregate of the ordinary expenses
of the Federal government. inclu-
sive Of pensions and interest, for
nine years before the war, from
1852, inclusive, to 1860, inclusive.
The total amount was $511, ,290,S04.
1t the gave table containing the
aggregate Of expenses for nine
years since tie war, from 1867, in
elusive, to 1875 inclusive. The to-
tai amount was $1,376,S ,S06, $1,000
The american then explained:
"The truths, the startling truths.
presented by the following figures,
cannot be too often presented to
the people. The comparison is n
perfectly fair one. The figures
themselves are a sufficient basis
for campaign of retrenchment
and reform. They carry, without
comment or explanation, c0nvic-
ton to every eandi d mind, The
careful observer will be ready to sus-
pect the truth afforded by the ar
ray of figures, and need only be
startled that people will so long
permit their affairs to be 80 crimi-
nally mismanaged."
So prates our wise Democratic
oracle, the American. Very well
It's a poor rule that won't work
both ways. What's sauce for the
goose is sauce for the gander. Let
us then see what was the aggregate
of the ordinary expenses Of our
State government for6ve years be-
fore tho war and then for five years
since the war. The Comptroller's
reports show that the expenses of
the state government for five years
before the war, from and including
the year 1854, to and including the
yeas 1858, wos 1882 ,0071S. The
expenses ofthc State government
for five years since the war, from,
and including, 1870 to, and includ-
ing 1874 (thc State all the while
under Democratic rule,) was
3,415,102.11. In other words the
expenses Of the State govern
ment, exclusive of interest on
State debt. and moneys paid pub
lie schools, for five years since the
war was more than double what they
were for the same length Of time
before The war. May we not adopt
the language Of the American and

A war ReEniniscence.

This story is told Of the visit OF
the Southern troops to Boston,
last Juue: One of the South Car
olina soldiers was invited to the
fremont Club, and while there a
gentleman came in and was in
thoduced to a party. The Caroli-
nian, who eyed the gentleman
from the moment he entered the
room, overheard his name, Col.
Joseph |. Baker, and asked him

Soldiers Re-UniOn.

The re union of Federal soldiers
in Tennessee yesterday was not
as largely attended as we had
hopes it would be. There were
several causes for this, the chief
of which, perhaps, is the scarcity
of money. We think it eminently
proper that these organizations
should be kept up. The record
Of the Tennessee regiments in
the Federal army during the lato
war was an honorable one, and it
is very natural that the officers
and soldiers of these regiments
should desire to perpetuate their
history. We do not understand
that the organization has sny po-
litical significance whatever, but
is entirely of a social character,
intended to keep up old friend.

marks on n subject in which the

We hope this subject will not
pass from the minds of the peo
pie. 1t is now nearly time for
the election Of representatives in
the legislature, and while the
candidates are bestowing them
smiles upon the people and
warmly shaking hands, let them
be strictly interrogated upon the
more important questions Of
State policy, such as the debt, the
convict labor system, the lien
laws, &c. BE srsure to'ascertain
their positions upon the labor
system. See whether they favor
new type Of abject slavery in
Tennessee, See whether they
desire to give TO certain capitalist
monopolies of certain branches of
business. See whether they are
willing that honest labor should
go begging that Tom O'Conner,
A. S. Colyar, Cherry Morrow and
others may have the labor Of con
victs at ten cents per day each
and pay for it in work upon the
capitol grounds at a dollar and a
quarter. See whether they are
willing that our prison system
should be a system of oppression
and demoralization, rather than a
system Of education and reform.
If they desire any Of all these
things leave them at home and

Depletion Extraordinary.

ltmakes me shudder to read in Amelot
de la Houssaie's Memories that Louis
XIII. was bled forty-seven times,
and emetized, or purged, 215 times in a
single year. Unnecessary bleeding had
something to do with Raphael's early
death. Although, during the last thirty
or forty years, the practice of bleeding has
been reduced in France to narrow limits,
its abuse still persists in the Spanish and
Italian peninsulas, and strangers ought to
he warned of it. The Italian doctors out
do the Sangrados of every other country
in the world in employing vene-section
for almost every complaint. You NAV
meet with Italians who have been bled $50
times in the course Of their lives The
doctors justification is, that the excep-
tional climate of Turin renders this
remedial measure Indispensable! One of
their most notable victims must be fresh
in every ones memory. On the 10Th Of May,
1861, after stormy debate in Parliament,
Count Cavour went home depressed and
anxions. In the night he was awakened
by vomiting and intestinal pains, the
consequence of indigestion, which fire.
quently occurs under similar circum-
stances. He was bled Immediately; again
at eight In the morning; again at five in
the afternoon. The Paris medical jour-
mails did not conceal their conviction that
under such treatment the illustrious states
mans case was hopeless. On the LIST and
I'd of June he was bled again; again on
the 4th. On the morning of the 7th he
died. In the November following one
of his doctors fell q martyr to the same
absurd system, having undergone, in the
illness which carried him off, seven
bleedings, besides numerous leechings.-
