DECREASE OP POPULATION.-Sim.
Atkinson, of the Augusta Press, is
now on a visit to New Hampshire,
the place of his birth. lu his last
lotter to the Presa, speaking of chil?
dren, ho says they aro gradually
going out of fashion, "few of the
younger generation having more than
two or throe. If the first two consist
of a boy and girl, a third seldom
intrudes npou the little band; but if
tho first two are of the same sex, a
third is sometimes added to the num?
ber. Here and there an old-fashioned
couple are found, around whose
hearth-stone sons and daughters are
allowed to cluster in the good old
way; but it is most true, and your
readers may be wicked enough not to
regret it, that considerations of pru
' dence and economy are greatly cur?
tailing tho mutual increase of this
calculating people."
In Bowling Green, on the 17th, an

twenty-one, to the heart, killing him
instantly. The wife of tho murderer
left him last week, on account of
cruel treatment, but returned with
her son, on the day of the tragedy, to
take away her personal property.
While engaged thus, the fatal affair
occurred. The murderer was un?
moved by his awful deed, and only
said, when arrested, that he "wishod
it had been any other of his boys, as
be always liked Thomas the best."
FEM ALB AND NEGRO SUFFRAGE.
The Michigan convention, after vot?
ing 29 to 26 in committee, some time
since, to adopt female suffrage, this
week rejected the proposition by a
very large vote, and refused even to
submit the question to tho peoplo
as a separate proposition. Negro
suffrage is crowded into the body ol

thc State of New York, and it was to
accomplish this result, wo nre now

NOMINATED BY ONE WHO KNOW
HIM.-The New York Times ^think
it worthy, of note, as an indication o
the times, that the Galena Gazelk
the paper published in the pine
where Grant resided before the wai
which is moreover said to bo the onl
paper that Graut regularly reads
and which seems to have alway
maintained very intimate relation
with tho ancient tanner of Galem
is strongly urging Grant as a cand
date for the next Presidency, on th
platform of peace, conciliation au
fraternity. The Gazelle discusses tl
subject in a recent able leader, ii
quiring into- the kind of man tl:
country wants for next Presiden
It argues at length that wo don?
want a man who "will imagine hin
self to be tho State," nor an amb
tiona man, "who will imagine th
the people were made for him," m
"do wo want a cunning, crafty, co:
fidence operator, who thinks that p
litics is only a gamo of thimble-ri
Nor do we want a man whose who
aim will be to fan and keep alive tl
embers of discord. In short, th
we want neither knave, nnr fool, n
coward. But," says tho Gazelle, 'V
do want an honest man for our ne
President, who has faith in the pote
cy of strong-handed and cool-head
justice;"and it then goes on to eui
gize warmly an unnamed individu
adding at the close: "His name y
need not mention. The whole woi
knows it. It will never be forgottf
The people demand the use, for t
best good of the country, of bis t
common executive power." All tl
is of interest, ns appearing in the C
lena Gazelle.
TYPOGRAPHICAL ERRORS.-Peo
often take credit to themselves
discovering an error of the press, n
express their wonder that such pal
ble mistakes should escape the re
er's eye; but if those who are so <
i tical were themselves to underti
? tho responsibilities of a uewspa
reader, for one week, it would <
, tainly cure them, for the future,
ungenerous criticism. Instead of
pressing their wonder at the app<
ance of a wrong letter now and tb
or a mis-spelt word, or an outrage
Murray, their surprise would be tl
under the great accumulation
, "proofs," the short time available
tho correction, the miserable ma
. script often placed iu the comp
, tor's hands, with many other dr
backs-known alono to printers
over which tho proof-reader has
control, the surprise, wo say, wc
i be that newspapers, with all their
i fee ts, should be sent out as corre
i os they are.

Tb. Wild L?nd. ot ttl* ScAtth.
In some of the Southern States,
especially in Arkansas, Louisiana and
Florida, there are large tract? of wild
land inviting settlement, and great
inducements are held out to Northern
people to go aud take possession of
them. The soil is so rich as to re?
quire no mannie, the timber is so
valuable that it will pay for the clear?
ing, and if one will engage in the
growing of fruit and vegetables for
Northern cities, he will get rich.
There is some truth in this, but men
with small means should be upon
their guard. To engage profitably
in the lumber business requires capi?
tal and hard work. More money has
been sunk in saw-mills than has been
made in them; and unless one is on
the banks of a river, where the sale
of cord-wood is certain, it will cost
not' less than $20 an acre to clear
land. There is no other business so
little profitable as that of preparing
the trees of the forest for sale, whe?
ther it be in the shape of lumber,
cord-wood or staves. The reason is
that coarse, hard-working and illite?
rate men, who can do nothing else,
competo with- each other, and in fur?
nishing large supplies, they keep
down the price of labor and the price
of their productions.
One who purposes raising fruit and
vegetables should consider first that,
to be successful, a good knowledge of
the business aud considerable capital
are required. Take the tomato crop,
for instance. No matter how far
South, on shipping waters, one may
go, somebody will be found already |
there, with extensive hot-beds ana
sashes, for the production of early
plants. However short the wiuter
may be, there is an attempt to make
it shorter. It is a great mistake to
suppose that in going South you will
get the start of somebody else. An
energetic fruit-grower will bo likely
to do well with nn orange plantation,
but it is indispensable that he knows
what fruit-growing is, and he must
not be afraid of work. Still, there
will bo no great success without capi?
tal and good management, either
taken thither or acquired on the
ground, and with them one will suc?
ceed in New York or in Minnesota.
But it is well to cousider tho fact that
in all Northern seaboard cities ono is
urged to buy oranges at from fifteen
to twenty ceuts a dozen, while apples
are sold ou the stand at fifty ceuts a
dozen. It. is doubtful whether apples
will not bring as much in the orchard
in November as oranges will in their
orchards in March. There is one
thing, regarding the South, which is
scarcely understood; that is, it is an
undeveloped country. The timo is
coming when new and valued pro?
ducts are to be introduced, and, per?
haps, in comparison, cotton will be
insignificant. But to secure this re?
sult, not only men of large minds will
be required, but Government patron?
age, widely administered, is indispen?
sable.
There is good reason to suppose
that many of the statements about
the semi-tropical South are made by
land speculators. For a Northern
mau to go thither aud pay from $5 to
?10 for wild land, except in some
choice localities, can end iu nothing
but disaster. Tho truth is, there are
thousands of acres that can be bought
at ^1.25 un acre. The only way to
settle such regions is in colonies, and
tho cost of land should not exceed 82
au acre. If large lauded proprietors
had not so much confidence iu tho
effect of thoir statements, they would
be wise in giving a part of their land
free to actual settlers; that is, pro?
vided they were able to pay for it.
Each member of the colony should
go with means to carry on work and
to support his family for two years,
at least. At the best, there will bo
privations and disappointments, and
many things must be learned which
neither they nor the people of tho
country know. But let no ono ex?
pect that riches will come suddenly.
Prosperity and even the common
comforts of life result only from time
and patient industry. Still, by their
help, they will come.

THE SEVEN-THIBTIES.-There aro
yet $20,000,000 of the first series of
the seven-thirty notes, dated July
15, 1801, to be received by the Trea?
sury Department. . There were ori?
ginally $380,000,000 of these notes,
but on the 15th of the present month,
when the time for redemption or con?
version into five-twenties expired,
only $40,000,000 were out.
Secretary McCulloch extended tho
time for their redemption to Sep?
tember 15, as has- already been
stated. On Saturday, $20,000,000 of
these notes were received by tho
Treasury Department, $5,000,000 of
which came from Boston bankers.
Most of this amount would have been
received the day before, if it had not
been for the storm. It is probable
that tho other $20,000,000 will bo
either redeemed or converted long
before the time given by Secretary
McCulloch expires.-Ballimore Sun.
A VILLAGE TRANSFERRED FROM ONE

An Australiern paper says that the
neighborhood of Havelock was re?
cently visited, after a heavy rain, by
clouds of flying ants, which were
devoured in great numbers by the
fowls, but the insects, not killed by
the swallowing, ute their way through
the bird's crops, and caused their
death. This was not credited at first,
but post mortem examinations have
shown the insects alive in the rup?
tured crops, or crnwliug out of the
dead birds' throats.
ANTIDOTE FOR POISON.-It is said
that a poison of auy conceivable de?
scription and degree of potency,
which has been swallowed, may be
rendered instantly harmless by swal?
lowing two gills of sweet oil. An in?
dividual with a strong constitution
should take twico the quantity. This
oil will neutralize every form of the
vegetable or mineral poison with
which physicians and chemists are
acquainted.

IN AID OF THE

Washington, D. C., Sept. 30, 1867.
THE "Ladies' Society in Aid of tho Suf
_ fering and Destitute Poor of tho South"
would respectfully and earnestlv call the
attontion of the generous public to tho
groat distress and fearful suffering now
prevailing in the Southern Statca.
The public have already responded no?
bly to tho call, but not to tbe extent re?
quired to ke*op starvation from making
victims of many. Additional funds must
be raised at once; tho case is urgent. Tho
Lady Managers, after mature deliberation,
have decided to give a Grand National En?
tertainment, trusting to their activo co?
operation and sympathizing aid for the
immediate supply ot means to enable them
to purchase and forward food to starving
thousands. The Grand National Enter?
tainment will be given at Washington, D.
C., September 30,1867. 300,000 tickets will
bo offered for Bale at $2 each. Half of tho
amount will bo iu valuable awards to the
