Gen. P. M. B. YOTJNG,
Of Bartow Country.
TTlie ChrUtmu FcMItIUm.
We have to return our thanks lor many invi
tations extended to us to partake of Christmas
dinnera with friends at their private residences,
and at the hotels of our city. Our acknowledg
ments are also due to friends for complimentary
pel sonal attentions on that eventful day. Espe-
catight in fiogrante delicto, stealing wine, and I comes them with open arms. Offices and emo!-
having a soldiers reunion on their own hook at j aments, trade and business, await theip. Even
Police Headquarters. We could comprehend
how they disregarded Sherman’s raps and
shoots; and how they refused to listen to Log&n’i
poem or bis oration. Indeed, we think this
was very natural, for nothing could induce us to
listen to Logan, if even by shouting and scream
ing we could possibly avoid it Nay, we could
understand how exuberant hilarity and mirth
might prevail against the simultaneous uprising
of “a dozen general and staff officers” pleading
for order. But we cannot account for the six
arrests lor stealing wine. We cannot believe it.
It must mean that the officers were carrying a
great deal of wine away “under their belts” and
not in their pockets. Any other explanation is
an infamous, traitorous slander.
Worth-West and North-East Georgia—
Their Growth CoutrasteO.
It is very doubtful whether auy two sections
of country, especially so near together, so con
cUllydo we iwl unir obligations to' Mksshs. I clusively illustrate the beneficial effects of rail
Rose & Co., on Broad street, and to Mb. Geobob | way transports and communication as do the
tjnABP, Jb., for their Christmas presents. “May
fheir shadows never grow less 1”
We could not dine everywhere, and therefore
dined at home on Christmas day. We should
doubtless have fared better, If we had accepted
any one of the invitations extended to ns, but
we determined to make no invidious distinction
between this or that hotel, or between this or
that lriend, and therefore, patriarch like, pre
sided over our own board. Doubtless we missed
a great deal, but wo retired to bed at night “at
peace with all the world and the reet of man
kind,” and desire so to remain if “the world”
and “the rest of mankind” will only deal justly
with us and permit it.
Amnesty For All.
The Christmas Proclamation of PbesiDBKT
Johnson gives amnesty to alL It pardons all
rebels from their illustrious leader, Jew. Davis,
down to the humblest in the ranks that fought I ^ expense of the oity of Savannah, a company
for the “ lost cause. ’ The amnesty Is universal | f orme( j ( n 1888, and the road opened for busi-
two sections of Georgia under consideration.
Soon after the settlement of the colony, by
Gen. Ogletborpe, in 1783, pioneers penetrated
inland so rapidly that we find the county of
Wilkes laid of! as early as 1777, and Elbert and
other counties a few years subsequently; while
Cherokee, originally comprising, if we mistake
not, the territory north of the Chattahoochee,
was not organized under State authority until
about 1832, making a difference of fully halt a
century in the settlement and political organiza
tion of the two sections.
The railway system of Georgia commenced
as far back as 1833, when the charter for the
Georgia railway was granted. A portion of this
road was put in operation in November, 1887,
and finished to the terminus of the Western &
Atlantic railway, at Atlanta, in September, 1845.
A preliminary survey af the Central rail way was
conducted in the spring and summer of 1834, at
and a stop is thus put to all trials for treason.
Jeff. Davis and Breckinridge, and all who are in
exile fur political offenses against the United
States, may now return to their homes in the
South, and help to build up the waste places
and to repair the damages done by the war. All
honor to the Puesioent for his proclamation !
An African Carpet-Bagger.
It appears that the Honorable Menard, titular M.
C. from Louisiana, is an Illinois, and not a Pel
ican Slate African—a carpet-bagger of African,
and not Yankee ’scent, who emigrated to New
Orleans “since freedom broke out.” He belongs,
in t&ct, to that branch of the carpet-bag family
of which Alpeoria Bradley was the head and
front, specially commissioned to oome (South,
and, in concert with the Bureau, to worry, be
devil, and disturb the Southern people, at all
times and in every conceivable way, in the inter
ests of Radicalism.
Educated for public life, in all probability,
under the teachings of the accomplished Logan,
Menard is in every way worthy of his master,
and is doubtless aa respectable a legislator as
many of his party whose skiu is not quite so
dusky, and whose hair is not altogether so
kinky. But he is not the true man and a brother
African. He never was a down-trodden slave,
subject to the brutal will of a barbarous traffleer
in bureau flesh. He was born free. He first saw
the light in Illinois. His first corn-dodger was
grown on the prairies. The first piece of pork
he ever sucked, as a “ little nigger,” was “West
ern mess.” Hu cannot, therefore, be said to be
a true representative ot the emancipated negroes,
ness to Macon in October, 1843. The Macon A
Western railway was chartered in 1833, and the
charter amended in 1836; but owing to financial
embarrassments, resulting in a change ot own
ers and managers, the construction was delayed
so that it was not completed to Atlanta, anc
opened to the public until October, 1846.
In the light of the foregoing historical facts,
we respectfully invite the attention ot oar
thoughtful readers of all classes—laborers, me
chanics, merchants, and capitalists—to the fol
lowing instructive, even if startling statistics.
They convincingly show the value of railways
in increasing population, productions, and the
value ot property, in the country penetrated by
them; and, hence, ,’o the general commerce of
the country.
In 1840 the population of the counties on and
contiguous to the Air-Line Railway, was 75,063,
and in 1850, 108,800, an increase of 33,737 or 45
percent. But in 1860 the same counties had a
population of only 105,247 or an actual decrease
in ten years of 2,553 or over two per cent.
Now observe the difference!
The country forming the counties on, and
tributary to, the Western & Atlantic Railway,
which as we have seen was settled fifty years
later, had a population in 1840, of 45,890, or
nearly 80,000 less than those on the Air-Line. In
1850, the population of the Northwestern coun
ties reached 08,208, an inorease ot 115 per cent
in ten years, (more than doubling,) and within
13,000 of the older counties on the Air-Line.
In 1800 the population of the Northwestern
counties footed up 132,549, an increase of 34,000
or about 35 per cent., and placing the population
and it is an outrageous wrong to the free and
enlightened black loyalty of Louisiana to suffer I 27,000 ahead of the counties on the Air-Line.
an Illinois nigger to take all the honors, as well
as the tricks, which properly belong to the
swamp angels of the Mississippi, Ouichita, and
Red rivers.
In the name of the oolored troops who fought
nobly, and of the colored electors who voted
often, we protest against black carpet-baggery.
If we must have negro M. G.’s let them be the
pure article. Let them have a certificate from
the Bureau and not from Logan; let them have
graduated on a sugar plantation and notin Sing
Slug.
It is not fair to the men and brethren of Lou
isiana to have a free nigger from Illinois thus
thrust upon them, while there is so much native
talent unrewarded.
As the patron saints of Louisiana in general
and of New Orleans in particular, Butler and
Banks should at once interpose their power to
prevent this fraud upon a people to whom they
owe so much.
We have read several accounts of the receut
“Soldiers Reunion Banquet” at Chicago, which
though they appear in the columns of papers ot
established trooly loilty, must have been written
by some most unredeemed and unrepentant
rebel. They say that no privates were present.
They were all officers, and consequently all gen
tlemen, and yet if the reports are to be believed,
there may have been a great many officers, but
a very few gentlemen. We give the following
extract from the Cincinnati Commercial :
“There was a stormy scene at the banquet to
night. After the eatables were disposed of, a
terrible raid was made on bottles, and negroes
who dispensed liquid refreshments were almost
frighteued out ot their wits, as they were be
sieged on every hand by eager and excited wear
ers ot shoulder straps, champagne corks flying
as thickly as bullets in a battle, and necks of
bottles were snapped off in every direction by
those who were too thirsty to wait for cork
screws and waiters.
In vain General Sherman essayed to bring his
subordinates to order. His march to the sea
was an easy task when compared to an attempt
to restore quiet among that army ot Generals,
lie rapped, shouted, aud finally made himself
heard by a lew, and announced that the regular
order ot proceedings would conn
Thus, we perceive that a region without an
appreciable population thirty years ago, has,
within that period, by the influence ot railways,
not only overtaken counties settled fifty years
previously, but become one-fourth more pop
ulous.
But the difference in the value of improved
Droperty is yet more marked and remarkable.
In 1850 the value of property returned in
the counties on and tributary to the Air
Line Railway amounted to $8,338,249, and
in 1860 to $36,173,818—an increase of $29,835,-
569, or 334 per cent.
In 1850 the value of improved property in the
counties on and tributary to tlie^Western A
Atlantic Railway was $9,231,407, and in 1860 it
amounted to $59,258,747; au increase of $50,
027,340, or over 540 per cent.
The increase in Northwestern counties is
$22,191,771, or nearly 80 per cent, more than
in the Northeastern counties ; a sum nearly, if
not quite, equating the aggregate original coet of
all the railways in the State—the average yearly
increase being sufficient to construct the Georgia
Air Liuc—or in ten years, sufficient to build ten
such roads.
With such results as these, sliowu by the most
reliable statistical compilations of this country—
the United States census returns of 1850 and
1860—aud so clearly and unmistakably tracable
to railway facilities. We cannot preceive how
our own citizens, or those to be more immedi
ately benefltted by railway enterprises, can be
so reluctant to embark in them. The country
traversed receives its benefit by having a market
at its door for its surplus products, whereby
increase of products, and influx of population
are stimulated, and a corresponding advance in
lands and other property realized. The cities at
the terminal points are benefilted to the extent
of the increase of population and productions,
whereby business and commercial prosperity are
promoted.
We do not know that this article will receive
that attention which it seems to us the facts
collated in it justify ua in expecting. Yet it
seems to us to be suggestive of thought to the
reflective reader, and, hence, we crave for it a
the native Union population are withdrawing
their snpport from Radical BrownlowUm.
To prolong his dynastic political poirer, how
ever, the palsied Governor Brownlow is just now
urging the secession of Ea»t Tennessee irom the
other portions of the State. He was never
popular in the more rebellious sections of
Middle and Western Tennessee. He is now
engaged in a movement to erect East Tennes
see into a separate State, a la Western Virginia,
which shall belong to him and bis posterity for
ever. The Radical Congress which has just re
constructed (or nn-reconstructed, which ?) Geor
gia will probably favor him, and ere long we
sball see another star added to the already
thiekly “ spangled ” banner. The Lord be
praised!
I meet here some returned Tennesseeans who
were whilom exiles in the land of the mocking
bird. I have just enjoyed a hearty shake of the
hand from that prince of good fellows Thomas
O’Connor, who sojourned for a season in your
goodly city. Tom is in business, and is doing
well here.
I heard a good one on another exile just here
on a visit from a distant State. Meeting a warm
hearted and witty lady friend on the street, the
latter Inquired after the welfare of the said exile’s
family. “ How many children haveyqu in fami
ly ?” asked the lady. “ Nine," was life exile’s re
ponse. “ I had exhausted the catalogue ot
English names,” continued he, “ and had to
name the last Nona—Latin, meaning the ninth”
Dear me 1” exclaimed the lady, “T think you
should name her Omega f” The .said exile
wilted.
The skaters are busy to-day at a little pond
frozen solidly near the railway station. Most
graceful among all the skaters, I observe a young
brother of the Hon. T. A. R. Nelson, Captain
Moses W. Nelson. Young America, is firing off
Christmas guns, and general hilarity prevails.
The streets exhibit a <ull share of inebriates cel

the response of General Logan, was, after vain
attempts, abandoned by reason of the incessant
riotous conduct. Shouts and screams were con
tinuous ; alleys were choked by a surging crowd;
tables and floors were strewn with glass, cham
pagne bottles were stuck into boiled hams, and
auarchv reigned supreme. Governor Oglesby
begged the assemblage to be quiet.
James H. Bowen called ou the Chairman to
urge the police to the faithtul performance of
their duties. A dozen general and staff ottieers
rose simultaneously to plead for order.
Six military personages were arrested for en
deavoring to carry bottles oi wine from the hall,
aud conveyed to police headquarters.
General Logan asserted that the riotous dem
onstrations at the south end ot the hall were
studied marks of disrespect to the President
elect of the United States. General Thomas
sprang up and rapped vehemently with his
gavel, asserting in the firmest of tones, that he
would not speak until General Logan waft heard.
Out ot chaos finally came a sunbeam of order,
and General Logan spoke, and then gave place
to General Thomas, who was received with the
wildest cheers, and permitted to complete his
address without Serious interruption.”
If this festive gathering had been composed of
Kukluxes, or even of ordinary “rebel cutthroats”
and “pirates,” we could understand the forego

or the Schiedam Aromatic Schnapps. ,
32 Beaver Street, New York, Nov. 3,186S.}
To the People of the Southern States:
When the pure medicinal restorative, now so widely
known as Wolfe’s Schiedam Schr apps, was introduced
into the world under the endorsement of four thousand
eading members of the medical profession some twenty
years ago, its proprietor was well aware that it could
not wholly escape the penalty attached to all new and
useful preparations. He, thereiore, endeavored to in
vest it with strongest possible safeguard against coun
terfeiters, and to render all attempts to pirate it difficult
and dangerous. It was submitted to distinguished
chemists for enaiysis, aud prouounced by them the pu
rest spirits ever manuiaclured. Its purity and properties
hav. ng been thus ascertained, samples of the artic e were
toriv irded to ten thonsand physicians, including ah the
leadi ag practitioners in the United States, for purposes
ol experiment. A circular, requesting a trial of the pre
paration and report of the result, accompanied each spe-
cinien. Four thousand of the most eminent medical men
ir. the Union promptly responded. Their opinious of
the article were unanimously favorable. Such a prepara
tion, they said, had long been wanted by the proiessiou,
as no reliance could be placed on the ordinary liquors of
commerce, all of which were more or less adniierated,
aud therefore unfit for medical purposes. The peculiar
excellence and strength of the oil of juniper, which form
ed one of the principal ingredients of the Schnapps, to
gether with an unalloyed character ot the alcoholic ele
ment, give it, in the estimation of the faculty, a marked
superiority over every other diffusive stimulant as a diu
retic, tonic, and restorative.
These s tiislaetory credentials lrom professional men
of the highest rank were published in a condensed form,
and enclosed with each bottle of the Schnapps, as one of
the guarantees of its genuineness. Other precautions
against fraud were also adopted; a patent was obtained
or the article, the label was copyrighted, a foe simile o
the proprietor’s autograph signature was attached to
each label and cover, his name and that of the prepara
tion were embossed on the bottles, and the corks were
sealed with his private seal. No article had ever been
sold in this country under the name of Schnapps prior
to the introduction of Wolfe’s Schiedam Aromatic
Schnapps, in 1851; and the label was deposited, as his
trade mark, in the United States District Court for the
Southern District of New York during that year.
It might be supposed by persons unacquainted w’tta
the daring character of tbs pirates who prey upon the
reputation of honorable merchants by vending delete
rious trash under their name, that the protections so
carefully thrown around these Schnapps would have pre
cluded the Introductions and sale ol counterfeits. They
seem, however, only to have stimulated the rapacity of
impostors. Tho trade mark of the proprietor line been
stolen; the indorsement which his 8cbiedam Aromutic
Schnapps alone received from the medical profession
has been claimed by mendacious humbugs; his lubels
and bottles have been imitated, his advertisements para
phrased, his circulars copied,.and worso than all, dishon
orable retailers, after disposing of the genuine contents
of his boitios, have filled them up with common gin, the
most deleter.oils of all liquors, and thus made bis name
and brand a cover for poison.
The public, the medical profession, and the sick, lot
whom the Schiedam Aromatic Schnapps is prescribed as
a remedy, are equally interested with the proprietor in
the detection and suppression of these nefarious prac
tices. The genuine article, manufactured at the estab
lishment of the undersigned, in Schiedam, Holland, is
distilled lrom a barley of the finest quality, and flavored
with an essential extract of the berry of the Italian juui-
per, oi uuequaled parity. B> a process unknown in the
preparation of any other liquor, it is freed lrom every
acrimonious and corrosive element.
Complaints have been received from the leading physi
cians and families in tbe Southern Stales of the sale of
cheap imitations of the Schiedam Aromatic Schnapps in
those markets, and travelers who are in the habit of
using it as un antidode to the baneful influence of un
wholesome river water, testify that cheap gin, put up in
Sheridan bottles, is frequently palmed off upon the un
wary. The agents of the undersigned have been request
ed to institute inquiries on the subject, aud to forward
to him the names of such parties ae they may ascertain
to be engaged in the atrocious system of deception. In
conclusion, the undersigned would say that he has pro
duced, fiom under the hands of tbe most distinguished
men of science in America, proofs unanswerable of the
purity aud medicinal excellence of the Schiedam Aro
matic Schnapps; that he has expended many thousand
dollars in surrounding it with guarantees and safeguards
which he designed should protect the public and himself
against fraudulent imitations; that he has shown it to be
the only liqii.jrin the world that can be uniformly de
pended upon as unadulterated; that he has challenged
investigation, analysis, comparaison, and experiment in
all its forms; and from every ordeal the preparation
which b ars his name, seal, and trade mark, has come off
triumphant. He therefore feels it a duty he owes to his
fellow-citizens generally, to the medical profession and
the sick, to denounce and expose the charlatans who
counterfeit these evidences of identity, and he calls npon
the press and the public to aid him in his efforts to rem
edy so great an evil.
The following letters and certificates from the leading
physicians and chemists oi this city will prove to the
reader that all goods sold by the undersigned ace all they
are represented to be.
UDOLPHO WOLFE.
I feel bound to say that I legard your Schnapps as be
ing in every respect pre-eminently pure, and deserving of
medical patronage. At all events, it is the purest possi
ble article of Holland Gin, heretofore unobtainable, and
as such may be safely prescribed by physicians.

Odolpho Wolfe, Esq., Present:
Dear Sir—I buve made a chemical examination of a
sample of your Schiedam Schnapps, with the intent of
determining if any foreign or injurious substances had
been added to the simple distilled spirits.
The examination has resulted in the conclusion that
the sample contained no poisonous or harmful admix
ture. I have been unable to discover any trace of the
deleterious substances which are employed in the adul
teration of liquors. I would not hesitate to use myself,
or to recommend to others, ior medicinal purposes, the
Schiedam Schnapps as an excellent and unobjectionable
varieiy of gin.
Veey respectfully yonrs,

Udolpho Wolfe, Esq., Present:
Dear Sir—I have submitted to chemical analysis two
bottles of Schiedam Schnapps, which I took from a fresh
package in your bonded warehouse, and find as before,
that the spirituous l.quor is free from injurious ingredi
ents or falsification ; that it has the marks of being aged
and not recently prepared by mechanical admixture of
alcohol and aromatics.
Respectfully,
FRED. F. MAYER, Chemist.

Udolpho Wol'e, Esq.:
Dear Sib—The want of pure wines and liquors for ma
dicinal purposes has been long felt by the profession,
and thousands of lives have been sacrificed by the use of
adulterated articles. Delirium tremens, and other dis
eases of the brain and nerves so rife in this country, are
very rare in Europe, owing, in a great degree, to the dlf
ference in the purity of the spirits gold.
We have tested the several articles imported and sold
by yon, including yonr Gin, which you sell under the
name of Aromatic Schiedam Schnapps, which wo con
sider justly entitled to the high reputation it has acqni-ed
in this country; and from yonr long experience as a for
eign importer, yonr Bottled Wines and Liquors should
meet with the same demand.
We would recommend you to appoint seme of the ra
spectable apothecaries in different parts of the city a
agents for the sale of yonr Brandies and Wines, wher
the profe- sion can obtain the earns when needod for
medicinal purposes
Wishing you success in your new enterprise,
We remain yonr obedient servants.
