IMPEACHMENT. Mr. W. L. Goldsmith, Comptroller General of Georgia has had articles of impeachment voted against him in the house of representatives. If h9 is guil ty of the charges preferred he ought to be impeached. But from the evidence we have seen published we hardly think the evidence will enable the Senate to convict him. The charges are of fraud connected with the wild land tax mat ters. As the case seems to stand we fear the trial before the senate will cost the State ten or fifteen thousad dok lars for nothing. However, let ns sus pend judgment and see. Unless some new evidence of an extraordinary nature has been brought before the committee, we rather tliink^he impeaelimeut pro ceedings premature, especially if they result in acquittal when the suspicion of guilt is strong, and ho positive proof can be obtained.—We are afraid our sc ions want to shoot boforo they Kood aim. church Montmartre, of Paris, that the Spaniard Ignacio de Loyola and six oth er students of theology, all of for- eign niitionality, resolved, on the loth of August, 1534, to found an association destined to play so great a role in the world and to exercise th e most injurious influence. This association, which had for its object to convert the infidels and to furnish a militia to the sovereign Pontiff, was definitely constituted by a bull of Pope Paul" III, on the 27th of September; 1540, under the title of So ciety of Jesus. They took as a motto: “Everything for the greatest glory to God.” As rule of conduct: “The end justifies the means;” and obtained of Julius HI., not only all the privileges of the mendi cant orders of the regular priests, but also exemption from all jurisdiction, su- pcrintendenci or taxation, be it Episco pal or temporal, as well for the mem bers of the Order as for its possessions. Only amenable to the Pope and their General, free from all shackles, they could pursue, with wonderful suppleness and astonishing tenacity, the aim which they desired to attain: the domination of the society. In this work the Jesuits had for chiefs twenty-two Generals, the names of whom were as follows: Ignacio de Loyola, of Spain, 1540: Jaques Lainez, of Spain, 1558, who was the venerable organizer of the Society; Francis de Borgia, of Spain, 1565; Everhard Hern- rian, of Belgium, 1572; Claude Aquvi- ya, of Naples, 1580; Mutius Yit elles- chi, of Borne, 1615; Yincent Caraffa, of Naples, 1643; Franci3 PiccolomiDi, of Florence, 1629; Alexander Gotifredo, of 1951; Goswin Nielsc-l, of Germa ny, 4652; Paul Oliva, of Genoa, 1668; Charles de Noyelle, of Belgium, 1681; Tbyrse Gonzales, of Spain, 1686; Michel- AngeTamburini, of Modena, 1708; Fran cis Betz, of Bohemia, 1730; Ignacio Vis conti, of Milan, 1750; Louis Oenturioni, of Genoa, 1755, to whom succeeded Lo renz Ricci, of Florence, in 1757. As to the present General of the Jesuits, we give here a short sketch of his career: Father John Peter Becks was born in Siehem, in Brabant, on the 9th of Feb ruary, 1795; the sod of a peasant, he was sent to the seminary and received the priesthood in 1819. After having been Vicar, he entered the Jesuits at Wildersheim, became then the confes sor of the Duke of Anhalt-Kcethen, and acquired a great influence over the Prince and the Duchess, his wife. Af- fer the death of her husband, she took ■Father Becks with her to Vienna, where Lis supple mind, full .of n sources, did not fail to make him remarkable, and procured to him iu 1847, the nomina tion of Procurator of the province of Austria. The Jesuits, havfng been banished from this country in 1848, Father Becks was sent to Louvain, where he. was Director of the college of his Order. But soon the triumphaut reaction permitted him to return to Austria.-— Father Becks contributed powerfully to make rule the clerical ideas in the gov ernment of the young Francis Joseph, and caused the Order of the Jesuits to be re-established i n Hungary. The zeal which he displayed under these circum stance, and the ability of which he gave evidence, placed him in the front rank of his Order. So after the death of General Roothaan, in 1853, he was called by the general congregation of the order, to succeed him. He settled in Borne in fcfie house of the General, which he left in 1S73, to settle in Flor ence, Uuder the direction and the impulse of Father Becks the Society of Jesus has made enormous' progress and ac quired considerable extension.—Trans lated for the Home Journal. NEW ADVERTISEMENTS. They were discovered recently, and will doubtless prove of decided interest to the people of Houston and adjacent counties. This however, appears lo add another link to our chain of evi dence that nature is continually being developed, and becoming suited to the conveniences and necessities of man. How far is it to Sulphur Springs?— Whicli. way? How long since, and by whom were they discovered? Ls there any.hoarding establishment? Who the proprietor? While many other questions are being propounded, it is suggested that we go out riding and visit our sulphur springs. Well, it is a pleasant afternoon, the ardent rays of old Sol being shut out by a cloudy sky, all agreed to go; and now the pally being separated and arranged so as to make every feature of the even ing pleasant and agreeable, we are on our way to tiie new watering-place.— Very soon we arrive. Here are the springs, as we observed at a distance by the inscription above in large black letters. What a beautiful place! How romantic! But the intent of our curios ity is to ascertain its virtues, its merits, etc. We are anxious to examine the water, to apply some physical test.— What a peculiar odor! As we drink of this water, we conclude that it possess es a considerable quantity of this non metal. They. are evidently sulphur springs. Everybody has access, and are invited and welcome to partake of the water as it flows out in so great abun dance from maler terra. Houston should be proud of her sulphur springs; take an interest in them; improve their condi tion, their surroundings, etc., and at some future day she can offer, and per haps recommend, it as a splendid re sort for health seekers and the infirm. Owing to their location and their pres ent surroundings, we can say but little about them that is very commendable. The springs can be found on Sandy Bun, near the junction of the creek and the Ocmulgee river, not far from the Bell place. From an interview with a gentleman who is an invalid, and who visits the springs daily, I learn that is doing him good and improying his con dition very rapidly. Although he has gained several pounds, yet he is nearly transparent. May he continue to visit sulphur springs until he weighs as much as bis wife; and when his health is re stored he can with a smile of approba tion and expression of “happy ex change,” assure others that it will do them good.

But it is also an established fact that they do not remove the cause that pro duces the Chills. For if they did, the Chills would not return on the 7th, 14th, 2l8t or 28th day. Then is it not money LOST to attempt to permanently cure the Chills with Quinine or Cinchonidia, when they do not remove the cause from the system that produces them? For until the cause is removed, the Chills will return. The FERRINE Is warranted to remove every cause from the system that produces the Chills, aud if it fails to do this you will sustain no loss, for every druggist is authorized to guarantee a permanent cure in every case, no matter of how long standing, and will refund the money if the Chills return after you are through taking.— Positively, no cure, no pay. ‘Try it and be convinced.
