FRIDAY MORNING, Nov. 26, 1866
C. S- DuBOSE, Associate Editor
Hnving associated with me in the ed¬
itorial management of the Journal,C. S.
Dr Bosk, Esq., who will soon establish
himself in rhe practice of his profession,
at Warranted. I take pleasure in giving
iplace to his Salutatory
Undertakings which in tfieir inception
promise well, oft times prove futile and
utopian.
Such consequences are not always
due to the fickleness of the parties
engaged, though instability is too often
justly charged. Frequently, young
men of ability use no judgment in choo¬
sing their avocation, but blindly pursue
a calling for which they are not ficted.
either by natural endowment or culti
.vation—a short time passed, and theff
error becomes patent, then heedlessly,
entering upon some other walk of life,
they are dissatisfied, and youth, man¬
hood and even old age removes not the
-^•satisfaction. Indiscretion, want of
stability, energy and pratienc are
the chief causes of so many failures.—,
diut bright respectious rarely become
somcheering realities to genius and in¬
tellect. A Keats mad of a broken heart:
science smiled upon him, but fame, for
a time, came not near him, and pafe
melancholy, attending him through life,
.ushered him into eternity. •su
Let fevering .concurrent oircumstari¬
ces joined to merit, operate together,
and success is inevitable; or, permit the
sHinSfes of a people. to begin upon an Igno
•mums, and bis faults and ignorauce are
never seen in thedialo of prosperity that
• encircles him. This is so true, that in
i he blden times, it became an adage that
“Vox popu'i, Vox Dei.”
Considering these facts, we have
great trepidation in delivering to
you dear readers for the first time,
-our “you'd scarce expect' Ac,” ami
we need no little resoluteness to for¬
tify us against the neglect and contempt
which has met,many editors of experi¬
ence, and which will certainly cotne up¬
on us. But we ask, dear Friends,
**Dont view us with a critics eye
But pa*s o ir imperfections by,”,
and give us your support hv speaking
a cherry word for the “Weekly.”
Let the smiles of content and favor
irradiate your intercourse with us, and
we can but prosper: In our prosperity
each of you will participate, for the
place of nat- vity is always dignified in
the honor and reputation of its offsprings,
and from Hancock the Journal hales.
Gentlemen of the Goose Quill Frater¬
nity, to you we come. Wo claim the
amity of our elder brothers,
“For we are a band of brothers,

We trust that our intercourse \vill be

we never

It controvorcy should come, we’ll
never raise the “Battle Flag” until all

is our ‘‘dernier resort.”

* TELEGRAPH & MESSENGER.
Large, Huge, and Tremendous.—
“Montes laboraverunt,” and lo! an off¬
spring more wonderful than its ances¬
tors. What a monster this giant of the
Literary world ! And is it not singular
that there is no effite matter, no surfeit
of ffesh in its anatomy ? It is all bone,
sinew and brains, and it comes with all
its attractions to us Georgians, for the
purpose of pleasing, instructing and
benefltting us. Let us welcome this
monstrous Georgian among us, let us
show it attention and give it our aid.
Thr Human Form Dtv,N E .-What
aad havoc Scrofula inflict, on. the hu
nmn system. How Kheum.Msm distorts
the frame. What misery the injudi
cious use of Calomel entails. How sad
the effects of Syph^is truusmitted from
parent to .child. Would you avaid
these terrible afflictions, fail not to use
Hr. Tutt's Sarsaparilla and Queens De
light. It penetrates every fibre of the
system, even into the bones, and eradi
icates every trace of disease.
The adjourned term of the Superior
Court has been holding its session du
ring the present week. Outside of the
local Bar we notice as present General
Toombs, Cols. Pottle Lewis, Stan,ell
and ,. F.-Jones. The business is en
ergetically conducted im|SrtUP by Judge An
drew, whose

give, great satisfaction.
Tuesday morning Mr.'James A. Har^
ley after a Highly ftreditable examination'
in open court conducted by Col: Pottte,*
Messrs. Dobo«,. Pierce, Little and the
.Solicitor in the various departments of
law, was admitted to practice. We
doubt not he will pr ,ve a credit to his
profession, and I,ope him abundant sue-'
cess. A few negroes have plead guilty
to minor offenses, but there has, been
no important C Jno. criminal trials. In
Ciiee 0 M. Osborne vs. Jas. M
Williams, Trover, a verdict was render
<*i 4 for $400 and costs., The Equity
case of Judkins Hunt vs. Burwell Er
nestbccu,,ied ti.cwholeof While Thursday and is'
is still-pending. cleared the docket
doue not fully» yet much has been
toward the accomplishment of
that desirable end, and the adjourned
term may be termed a “success.”
w • «►
I have iur many years been opposed
to the use of calomel, having suffered
severely .in my family from its bad ef¬
fects, and have looked around in every
direction to find a remedy for bilious¬
ness, turbid liver.*dyspepsia, etc., which
I know nearly every one suffers from
more or lesn in this climate. And I be¬
lieve I have found it in Simmons’ Liver
Rcgnlutor. I have known this medicine
since l§39. and have seen it used in
hundreds of cases, and confidently assert
that it has always exceed my expecta¬
tions, and cured cases that were thought
hopeless. It is a duty I almost think I
owe to the suffering, to let them know
what has rtdieved so many, to my
knowledge. Respectfully yours,
Gkeknville Wood.
Macon, Ga
‘ Sparta Derating Club— Last night
(24th) of being the regular meeting time
the Club, a few members met to dis
cuss the question “Ought the retail of
Litoxicating Liquors be prohibited by
Jr*"’’’ the United The states, question and was argued confined by both to
sides, without preparation, in an in¬
teresting manner. Decision by the
President, Rev A J Jarrell, in favor of
the affirmative. It is to be hoped that
the members will not be hindered from
attending hereafter, either by intention
or accident. If an interesting debate
can be had from four or five members ol
the Club, reasoning from analogy, what
should be expected of a full attendance ?
We hope the interest heretofore evin¬
ced by the meirbeis, generally, will not
abate, ond that the Club may prove not
only a success, but of great advantage
to Sparta. Question for next debate:
“ Government!” Are political parties beneficial to
Member. .
Which will you do—smile and make
your household happy, or be crabbed,
and make all those young ones gloomv,
and the elder one mia,Table t The a
mount of happiness you can produce is
incalculable it you show a smiling face,
a kind heart and speak pleasaut words.
Wear a pleasant countenance; let joy
beam in your eyes, and love glow on
your forehead. There is nojov like that
which springs from a kind act or a pleas
ant deed; and you will feel it at night
when you rest, at morning when you
rise, and through the day when about
vour business.

THE HANCOCK WEEKLY JOURNAL.
THB STATE FAIR.
Dear Journal: I have just return
ed from the State Agricultural Fair,
. held . . ; in the u beautiful i City of r Macon— xr
It is not my purpose to weary you with
a detailed account of everything I wit
nessed on that occasion : thisNvould oc
cupy too much apace in your columns,
and besides would fail to iuteresta nu¬
merous class of your readers.
I am no farmer you know, and conse¬
quently took very little iuterest in the
agricultural implement., machine., &c,
on exhibition. I went merely „ ,n

like myself this was an e.ceedingly in

c * a ^ notice, the limits necessarily im
posed upon us forbid the mention of but
a few. Mrs. Goodman, of Atlpota, con¬
tributed several beautiful paintings,
evincing a high order of talent. “When
the swallows homeward fly,” by Mrs.
Reese, of Macon, is perfectly charming.
M'm C. Sosnowskie, of Athens, had a
few fine specimens. Miss Mamie Burke,
of Macon, only sixteen years of age, had
several paintings ofsurpassing beauty—
her landscape scene is exquisite. It
indicates no ordinary genius; others
deserve a special notice, but we must
pass on.
A single man like myself, would from
the very nature of the case, be more
interested in the ladies than in anything
else. Never before have I beheld such
a galaxy of beauty. Every town and
hamlet in the State it seemed had a rep¬
resentative there. Prominent among
the,belles was Miss Ida A. of Macon—
her featues are of Grecian mould, and
she is the very personification of grace,
Miss Yancey of Athens, struck me as
being pretty and accomplished, Miss
Mamie B. of Macon, is a charming little
beauty. Miss Jennie A. of Eatonton, is
stylish and intelligent, Miss Ruth H. of
Covington, was a general favorite, King
Hans can testify to this. Would that
I could mention others, but must forbear.
The Fair would have been a cora
plete success, had it not been for the
tournament. This seemed to be the
grand object of the fair and everything
was made subservient to it, after all it
was a grand humbug; only ten or twelve
Knights rode, and exhibited but little
skill. The best rider only took nine
rings, alter riding three times. The
first prize was awarded to Mr. Waiters
of Albany ; the second to Mr. Clay of
Bibb Co. The first prize a fine black
horse, valued at $500 ; the second prize
was a gray horse saddle and bridle, val

the depot, but I presume not setiously
injured.
The following compounds of my own,

The two last, it will be perceived,
were the only ones which did not pay
jh per cent on investment. While six
of the CommerciaHertilizer8 paid noth¬
ing.
Eleven of my compounds paid over
100 per cent at 25cts per lb. for cotton,
(as dry as the year was,) and beat every
Commercial fertilizer. The highest on
the list and six others of the highest had
no particle of Peruvian Guano in them.
Five of the other eight which paid a
per cent., had no Peruvian Guano in
them. All of the posphates paid better
than those which had Peruvian as their
basis, of the three Phospho Peruvians
No. 1. which paid 101 per cent., had
less Ammonia and more Phosphoric ac¬
id than the other two, which paid only
44 and 41 percent, clearly establishing
my Phosphoric acid theory.
