Editors Southern in compliance with a request made Ali rough the cultivator of some Hancock gentlemen to give their experience As to the Large yield of Cotton wheat and Corn raised upon lands that had been in Bermuda grass i venture to give you a few facts acid offer a few suggestions derived trom observation and experience. Liis grass is considered by most planters a great pest and but few persons have attempted to Praise or de lend a few i ave done so. Or. Lee says that if every sixth acre of cleared land in Georgia were in Bermuda grass would be More valuable than the Gold mines of California. Or. Philips has come to its Rescue time and again and i now beg leave to offer my Humble opinion in its favor and am glad to say that i have least one gentleman in Hancock who agrees wit i us.

But says your readers land so valuable in pasture should not have been disturbed. If bad been nearer Home i should certainly not have disturbed unless might have been to apply a top dressing of manure. But being too far off and knowing that land capable of maintaining such an amount of Stock As this had done must contain nil the elements necessary to produce Corn whe. and Cotton 1 therefore determined to bang into cultivation and 1 was in february 1852, that i ordered the plows to .

About twelve years ago 1 purchased a part of what had once been considered a Fine Plantation adjoining me two dollars per acre the place being objected to on account of the Bermuda grass and would have sold for one Hundred per cent More had there been none on . A lot containing Abou thirty acres through which runs a Fine Branch was pretty thoroughly set with the grass. About ten acres including the old Homestead was perfectly Matte a and in speaking of the production Het after reference is Perlic Tilary had to this place.

To Arili 1.- the time of the Purchase i found a Man occupying the houses and evil Tiva Ting a few palches scattered about Over the place avoiding those places now in nearly killed that never tro Sibli a me afterwards. The next year planted in Cotton with no manure nor a tra working and made i .least eighteen Hundred pounds Cotton to the acre. Next year in com manured with Cotton seed about As the other Corn one acre of which was measured and made a Little Over 65 shuls. Next year in Corn but bad Foj a injured by drouth supposed to have made about 30 bushels. In 1857,1 sowed in wheat without manure one acre of which was accurately measured and made a Little Over forty Bush Els. Next year in Corn and injured by drouth one acre measured made 58 bushels manured with Cotton seed As before. This land is now rest and will rest next year when will be put in Cotton and by the Aid of commercial manures i Hope to be Able to make known the exact amount that an acre can produce a Cotton. I do not that fact has been yet ascertained. Is and their improvement to land will least Sav not. is not yet too late to renovate and restore to More than their Origi nal Fertility these worn out lands and if i were called upon to write an As to the Best method of doing so i should do in few words my advice would he to break up the land thoroughly in Winter in March or april Lay off with a Small plow about 18 inches each Way drop a sprig of ber Nuda grass in each Hill and throw a Little dirt on with the foot. If the land is too much worn or naturally poor apply about 100 lbs superphosphate broadcast to the acre As a top dressing. As soon As the grass makes its appearance above ground turn in sheep hogs and cattle As Many As the land can maintain the grass till soon be thoroughly set Over the land. There would be no More washes nor gullies tie thick Sward would so Shade die land As to prevent the deleterious effects of the. Sun and the same time retain All those valuable fertilizing elements of the rain and preserve the droppings of All the animals instead of having these washed off into Rivers creeks and branches As is now most generally the Case. Does any Man doubt for a moment that land thus managed will Rapi Tlly improve and the same time be More remunerative than in any other Way could be managed ? do you know of any better plan than this gentlemen in if so let us hear from you. I verily believe that if Many of our planters in Baldwin Jones Putnam Morgan and Greene and other counties of Middle Georgia would set out their old lands in Bermuda As above mentioned and remove their Strong Force to better land the whole Force might be More profitably employed and the old land More remunerative than in any other Way. I should like to see the Experiment tried As to comparative profits of an old Plantation thoroughly set in Bermuda grass with As Ninny sleep As could support and a like amount invested in the Best Plantation in South Western Georgia if sheep and Bermuda grass did not prove the most remunerative in dollars and cents to say nothing of the improvement to the land then i should be greatly deceived. I have thus Given you a Plain and i Hope Cora mod sense statement of facts As they have come under my observation and leave the intelligent readers of the cuu Vator to draw their own inferences and conclusions from them. risk of being thought tedious and of repeating the same thing too often i remark that Bermuda grass is Beautiful for lawns or pasture. grows finely with me in Woodland where the undergrowth has been trimmed out in this Way rendering the Woodland valuable and can be entirely exterminated on Jud and As has been demonstrated in Hancock in Many instances. If then i have succeeded in calling the attention of any of Ray brother planters to the Benefit of this valuable grass and have been the Means of inducing them to Plant an acre Ora Field of Fields in i shall feel myself fully compensated and if any of them should do so i Hope to hear from them through the cultivator As to the results.

I allowed him to remain on Llie place i about four years when an unlucky set fire to the div Cir ing and Burnt him out. He was then compelled to give up the Bermuda grass lot but having Learned its value he parted from with Many re rets and much reluctance. Just follow me a Little farther and i will How you Why he did . As 1 mentioned before he was a poor Man and i ought to have said a poor Farmer. But could lie have remained on the place that Bermuda grass lot would have made him Rich and without detaining you longer 1 will give you the reason. A lion he went on the place four or five years before the burning he had one Mare a cow and a sow and pigs. the time of his removal he had about seventy five bogs and Good ones least Twenty head of cattle the Best in the neighbourhood and 1 seven head of horses. I am confident he never bought a cow a horse or hog but raised the whole of them on that thirty acres of Bermuda Gress and my neighbors who knew the fact will Bear witness with me in saying that his Stock were generally in much better condition than Roost others in the neighbourhood in Winter and summer. His plan of management was to plow one horse half the Day and turn him on the Bermuda grass and take air another one in that Way he kept his horses in Good order with perhaps a few years of com night. His cattle had Tho run of the Field after his patches of com a were gathered and with a Small Quantity of Cane they there is in the Village of Sparta a Little contain and three Quarter acres that was formerly As thick in Bermuda grass As Iny own How lung was in grass before being brought into cultivation i have no Means of ascertaining. This lot being on my Road to town i have noticed very closely and have no hesitancy in saying that for the last ten years i has been in constant cultivation longer than that has produced More wheat and Corn than any piece of land in he stale of the same size. I do not recollect a single year for the last ten Liat has not produced two crops a year being sowed in wheat and after the wheat was harvested planted in com and peas or potatoes generally in wheat and com and nearly every year producing Good crops of each a often Over fifty bushels of wheal without manure. 1 regret that an accurate account of the production of this piece of land cannot be Given. Juit could would astonish your readers More than David Dickson a twelve Bales Cotton to the hand and Twenty five bushels com on Pine land. We have other lots in Hancock no doubt As Good As those mentioned some of which i have now in my mint but i desire to state nothing but facts arid will not pretend to give their crops. This 1 do say that we have no land in Hancock either Virgin or made soil that can compare with these Bermuda grass lots in a production. Ami wrong then in saying that bad our ancestors planted out the Ohl Fields and red in this grass they would have bequeathed a valuable legacy to us ? i you messes. Eds tors and those of your readers who know something of the value of grass from the n. Y. Journal of Commerce. New Whaso of italian altars. To the philosophical student of the affairs of Italy in these Days How much there has been to interest and Admire what a movement there has been in All that concerns that Peninsula since the eventful new years Day of 1859, when the emperor of France uttered those oni Inious words in the great Hall of the Tuil eries to Baron Hubner the austrian envoy just Twenty months have passed away and what a Panorama Italy has presented the movement commenced the upper the first four months saw immense preparations going Forward in the armoires the arsenals tie dockyards the Barracks of France Austria and Sardinia and great movements of Large military forces were commencing. In the next three months those huge armies advanced rapidly into Piedmont and in May and june fought the Battles of Montebello Pelagro Magenta malignant and Solferino. In july preliminaries of peace were signed Villafranca and the contest having passed from the Domain of the sword to that of the pen the a a conference a commenced Zurich its Long and fruitless sessions for accomplished nothing whatever in the Way of arranging the affairs of Italy excepting to co Firra the cession of Lombardy to tie emperor of France who gave to the King of Sardinia and to Guarne tee non int mention in those this was the first in the italian drama. Doing the next nine months the duchies and the Romagna succeeded after much discussion and no Little amount of Proi coving in arranging hems Elres under the sceptre of Victor Emanuel Austria protesting and France withholding her consent during the same period Savoy Aud Nice a tic Given up to France by the King arid parliament of Sardinia As a Reward for set vices rendered by the a this was tie second great of the drama. The to Laird opened in Sicily in the month of May. A in less than three months neapolitan domination ceased in that Island a movement fad be Nln that Island in March arid Panl he landed the 15th of May has been a succession of from Sala to Palermo from Palermo to me Lazzo and from Melazzo to Messina. The army of 1,800 volunteers which he brought with him from Genoa has increased to 20,000 Brave piedmontese Tuscany lombards and others. In addition to these that Brave and exp Rien Ceil general has now a Large of sicilian Force. the last dates several detachments of Garibaldi an troops had crossed Over from Sicily to the coasts of Calabria and the general was preparing to follow with a Large Force having for his avowed object the overthrow of the a a bourbons Sway in the continent al part of the a kingdom of the two thus the affairs of Italy Are evidently entering a new phase the fourth of the drama has certainly opened. Sicily having been virtually annexed to the kingdom of Sardinia or rather the a kingdom of Italy a a As soon will be called the annexation of continent al Naples and the papal remains to be effected. For Liis everything seems to be Ripe. Within a fortnight is probable or farthest three weeks we shall probably hear the Good news that the a a bourbons has fled from his throne and not Long afterwards we May expect to learn that his holiness has been altogether relieved from the cares of the temporal government which have been quite too great for a Man of Lis years and has been permitted to sink Down or As we should be inclined to ascend up to the Post of simple Bishop of the Universal Church As his predecessors Weie for so Many centuries in the Early part of the Christian Era. From present appearances this great revolution for amounts to such is Likely to take place without much bloodshed a least so far As the kingdom of Naples is concerned. And if this should be so can scarcely be credited that Rome will make much resistance to Garibaldi and his Brave troops. Blit supposing All this done and Southern Italy with Sicily brought under the Sway of Victor Emanuel and May All be accomplished before this month of september comes to an end what then will happen ? nothing than a War Between Austria and the kingdom of Italy this now becomes inevitable. Not that Austria has any right to meddle with any part of Italy save her own province of venetian nor would France and England consent to her doing so so Lon the struggle is confined to tic Southern part of Italy even if should sweep away the thrones of Francis ii. And Pius in. But aus tia will not be permitted to remain still. Such is tie sex Eite incl which i is getting up throughout All Italy such the demand for a italian Unity a a that Garibaldi will lose no time after the annexation of the kingdom of Naples and the papal states to the kingdom of Sardinia in attempting to drive the a foreigner a the detested a a Tedesche a out of the last Possession he now has in a dear Venetia must be rescued from his grasp some of the foreign journals or rather their co respondents if we May make the distinction have advanced the idea that Garibaldi May attack Austria before he advances to Naples hut this Quot is altogether nor is he indeed in a condition to do any such thing. But when he has succeeded in annexing All the Middle and Southern end of Italy to the King Dom of Sardinia then indeed he May be in a condition to make such an attempt. And carry the War into the a Ali Torales and Dalmatia instead of Quot flying to carry into Venetia. Or rather he May in Case he can destroy the austrian Fleet and the Navy of Naples ought to suffice for this in Case be gets As seems quite certain proper to land Pola and fiume., and March into Hungary. But when he shall attempt this he will be no longer acting a on his own Hook a a if we May so speak but be the Leader of United Italy s great forces against the common enemy. Of scarcely any future event can w utter a prediction with less doubt than of an almost immediate War Between Sardinia backed by All Italy and the emperor of Austria. This now seems to be inevitable. There can be no doubt that Sardinia is making the most extraordinary preparations for the approaching struggle. France and England will net consent to Austria a interfering in Italy the present time because she has not the right according to the treaty of Villafranca to do so but they cannot prevent her from invading Sardinia in Case the latter chooses to go to War with her. In his is now pretty Clear she is quite determined to do. In that Case the contest will be Between Italy United to be hoped and the Empire of Austria. is not Likely that France and England will allow Germany or to intervene in favor of Austria if either should be disposed to do so. is a serious thing to contemplate the approx Ali of War especially inevitable War when is certain to assume Large dimensions a As that of which we Are speaking would be Likely to do. There is Bare. Possibility that two causes May be sufficient to prevent this impending struggle one is the persuasion of France and England the other the fear that Austria May have of an uprising of the hungarians such a movement in the land of the magyars would most certainly take place. The next few weeks will us startling news. Our confident belief is that whatever May occur will form a part in that great plan which the Saviour is carrying Forward which has for its end the highest interest of Mankind for this world and the next. A retained for the the san Andreas Independent cells the following anecdote of col. J col. James we suspect a san Francisco lawyer who during the late Campaign put up a hotel in one of the Northern counties. The colonel a went in to a Little game of poker now we re certain and a and soon crept off to bed. Soon after a Brawny specimen of Pike dressed in a a jeans and Wolf skin Cap arrived in search of Legal advice. He was taken immediately to the colonels room where after Wolf skin had shaken the Legal gentleman into , the following conversation occurred a Are you squirt j a yes what do you want old boy re a Wall Squire reckon i shall Liev ter git a Feller of your sort fur tur plead a a a what a about my Good Man a a a a bout a Here the colonel was All attention and Courtesy. He raised himself on his elbows and put his ear close to the clients lips. Here he once concluded was n Chance to get even on the nights losses poker a $300, perhaps a $600 horse in dispute and Bright the vision of a $100 fee All flitted rapidly across his mind. A state All the circumstances if you please my kind a Wall a said old Wolf skin a you see As i Borryn a this a Ere Boss us a Feller named Lipkins what keeps a ranch on poverty slide the colonel Drew his head in six inches and Arter id rid the Sway backed Moon eyed Ole Critter Tell night Here Down went the elbows i ferried the wind sucker Outen the Zartl the colonels head struck the Pillow and staked his Spavins a Bones on a Hill a Mong the tall grass to give his hide bound carcass a Chance for Good provender. The colonel waved ills hand in patient la but the old Wolf went on Wall a rattle Snake bit a on the gland rcd in tit and now the carnal critters got the big head and Ole Lipkins wants me ter pay a damages. You be Heern the Case. a what is the damages a roared the colonel. A of i be dollars a his head suddenly popped under the cover and the now raving colonel shouted a take yourself out of this in a retained for the Snake p because the a rail mauler received More votes from the suckers than he did. And one Hundred and fifty two and a half Brethren stood by and saw him crushed out and bewailed their a empty pockets and the loss of the. Good things promised them. A and devout men canned Stephen to his burial and made great lamentation Over and now in conclusion my dear Douglas Brethren i know. is hard for us to believe that Stephen is set de out. We cannot realize . But is even so. We shall never behold his coat dragging on the ground any More. Its Beautiful folds have been wrapped around his wounded seat of he Lias been Laid rest. The a irrepressible conflict a has dealt him a smasher on the gob and his voice will no longer Charm us with the Beautiful song of popular sovereignly. Therefore cease your blubbering for Stephen. A i Here is a Plank still left for us poor shipwrecked sinners to cling to. Our Brethren. North and South already stared upon . Though the heathens have denounced As a relic of barbarism yet our elders in the great Council of the nation say is a Good one. We will All go to Itiat lamp up blessed saints in Utah where is fenced in and shout lor old mrs. Polygamy. There reposing on her bosom we will Bursall our sorrows for the immaculate Stephen who was so shamefully martyred Lei him rot in Pence. Farewell then to poor old Stephen the famous Charleston a Amlyr for he lied so we believe him. And to wont go tumbling Arler. Thus you see i have quoted the dutch poet and we will close with the words of the text a and devout men carried Stephen to his burial and made great lamentation Over amen.

Was desultory and feeble. Garibaldi was invited to come and help. He came find his career Friori the Day a Short Sermon to a Douglas by Whang Doodle. A and devout men carried Stephen lok to trial and made great lamentation Over to i i. 2. My dear Douglas intend to talk to you this time about the Folly and of worshipping Man. The Heathen Bow Down to images of Wood and Stone and worship unclean beasts while the others Bow in Humble adoration even to kiss a great toe. But we of this generation Lave been guilty of the meanest kind of idolatry in worshipping a Little Lump of corrupt flesh and blood called Stephen now defunct. A few weeks ago when we Laened our vessel with rum and whiskey for our Brethren who were sent out As missionaries to the port of Charleston in the foreign land of South Carolina to preach the gospel of rcd Scott anal popular sovereignty and gave them Gold and Silver wherewith to buy their bread and meat our departed Friend was full of Promise and High uplifted As the god of democracy and All who would fall Down and worship him should have their Reward. Bat alas our Brethren have returned to us with nothing but his unseemly carcass. A and devout men carried Stephen to his burial and made great lamentation Over and came to pass when our Chie priests and elders were gathered together m convention Charleston Liat Many of the heathens of that Region would not fall Down and worship our Golden calf. And we said unto them that they were wrong that the Golden calf would Grant them Many indulgences he would give them a Bourbon whiskey Apple Jack and red Eye As be cages and had promised nine Hun tired and ninety nine foreign missions Post offices and custom House and to take five to Musmand old fogies into his Cabinet. But All this would not Avail. Harrya howl of compassion could be moved within them and therefore our Brethren returned unto a and devout men cat tried Stephen to his burial and made great lamentation Over and tie disciples of Stephen spake unto them saying that they did not care whether niggers were voted upside Down or Downside up made no difference. But they were rebellious and declared that we must get the Nigger out of the Fence and protect him in the. In territories where there arc no fences hut we do . We referred them to Freeport where Stephen spoke of a Friendly legislation a but they did no to care a red for the police magistrates of the Terri Ries but would pasture their niggers there on Uncle same a farm. They let us put a Fence of unfriendly Quot legislation around them and because to give Llie niggers pasture they waxed with Wrath and Stephen gave up the ghost. A and devout men carried Stephen to hts burial and made great lamentation Over in vain our Brethren promised to erect a false bottomed platform to delude the heathens with tricks of legerdemain. But they heeded not our the Illinois Douglas delegates Charleston la by the South was denied the assertion of her rights. We have just obtained a paper which reveals Llie True political complexion of the delegates who were sent from Illinois to the Charleston convention in the interest of the squatter sovereignty aspirant for the the proof is incontestable that for the most part they were a desperate set of vile abolitionists who had seen much service in the ranks of the anti slavery organization and who had been engineered into the Dein sciatic organization in Illinois by Douglas that they might the More i factually under the Guise of democratic membership carry Forward their schemes of plunder and spoliation of the South. Let us for the Sake of opening the eyes of our Southern readers to the fraud that was played upon the dem. Cracy by Douglas ventilate the records of some of these depraved and infamous Blak Republican faction lists who had thus managed to secure places in the National convention. There was one. L. Dickey a Delegate Large. In the year 1848, this Man Dickey was a candidate for judge in the Ottawa circuit. A Short time prior to the election he procured a or. Wardlaw of Hennepin to make an inquiry relative to his views of the Wilmot proviso or or. In Yardlaw did so of his own motion is immaterial which. Or. Dickey then addressed inquisitive Wardlaw the following note which was immediately printed in the Geneva Mercury. Ottawa iii., july 27,1s4s. Dear sir i ant not a Lihle surprised that any Man should Ever have doubted As to my position on the subject of the Wilmot proviso. I have repeatedly publicly and Pri lately wherever i have heard the subject discussed since the question was mooted declared that i regarded the question of the time that Congress has the Power and ought to exercise to prohibit slavery in ail the territories now free and if the present Opportunity of limiting slavery is Oll rcd to pass and our territories settled with a a slave holding population tio Man can calculate the extent of the evils which must naturally result. I still entertain these sentiments and al Lough i must still insist that a Many a political opinions ought not to influence the Choice of judge who in the discharge of his duties certainly can have nothing to do with politics of any kind yet i am unwilling to be misrepresented on this or any other sub Hope our patrons will urge friends to subscribe or the a Southern Banner a a Devil.
