®[jt S’n in ph in LOCAL READING. Saturday : : : December 15, iB6O. To Business Men. Our paper affords gn excellent medium through which our merchants and others may acquaint the public with their business, and we solicit, their patronage in the way of advertising and job prin ting. We are satisfied that it would be to their interest, in many respects, to adopt a lilieral sys tem of advertising in their county paper, and hope that it is not necessary for us to use any ar gument to induce them to pursue this course. They certainly know the advantages of advertis ing and the importance of sustaining a home paper. Public Meeting. A meeting of the voters of Stewart county, irrespective of party, is adver tised to be held at this place to-day, for the purpose of nominating delegates to the approaching State Convention. Madame Rumor. It was rumored here yesterday that the Rifles, a military company at Cuth bert, were to depart last evening for Charleston, with a view to aiding South ■ Carolina against any attack from the j Abolitionists. We regard the report as a hoax. Gin House Burnt. We understand that Mr. Wm. Seay, of this county, had his gin house burnt i on Friday morning about day-light.— I We are not informed whether it was j accidental or not. We believe Mr. 1 Seay happened to the same misfortune last year. Citizens’ Meeting. As will be seen by an advertisement in another column of to-day’s paper, a meeting of the citizens of Stewart coun ty who think that further efforts should be made to save the Union, is called at this place on the 18tli instant, for the purpose of nominating delegates to rep resent the county in the approaching State Convention, to assemble at the I State Capital on the 16th day of Janu ary next. Botheration! Os all the diabolical instruments in vented fur perforating and tormenting ' mankind, the civil bore is by far the I most intolerable. He requires you to ■ answer ten thousand foolish questions : about things which do not concern him I in the least, and no hint is sufficient to , cause him to desist. Such a creature ought to be compelled to wear a huge j interrogation point on his hat, in the ‘ manner of a cockade, in order that peo-! pie might avoid him. It would make ' the most amiable man in Christendom feel like saying ugly things to be.• bored for ten minutes by this civil au- ' ger. The individual who could go forth ' feeling inclined to hug all his fellow- ; creatures, after being taken through i such a course of interrogatories, is fit j for nothing on earth but tn stand about i loose, to receive augurs which might' else be run into persons who have not time to be bored. In fact, we should regard such a man as a trifling speci men of our race, and could not, under any circumstances, be induced to lend him a quarter or give him a chew of to bacco. This is a great country, and our peo ple are a great people, but some of them ask too many questions. We would be , willing to go without our meals for ■ two whole days, to have a single day’s 1 rest from hearing the innumerable ques tions asked by some civil bores. From all such creatures may we and our read ers be delivered. Peterson’s Magazine.—We are in re ceipt of the January number of this 1 valuable magazine. It is, as usual, 1 beautifully illustrated, and containsl much interesting reading matter. Pub lished by Charles J. Peterson, 306 Ches nut street, Philadelphia, at two dollars a year. Arthur’s Home Magazine, for January, has been received. It is filled with good reading matter and fine engra gravings. Edited by T. S. Arthur and Virginia F. Townsend, and published by T. S. Arthur &. Co., 323 Walnut st., j Philadelphia, at $2 a year, or four co-I pies one year for $5. Randolph County.—We learn from the Cuthbert Reporter, that two meet ings were convened on the same day in Randolph, to nominate candidates for the State Convention; but that, after assembling separately, they consolida ted and united in a call for one meeting of all parties to be held on the 24th inst., with the hope of bringing about a reconciliation and running but one ticket. Commerce of the Southern States.— Hie cotton States alone, it seems by the United States reports of commerce and navigation in 1858, employed 1,873 vessels, embracing 1,070,000 tons, manned by 31,064 sailors. And tak ing cotton and border States together the vessels cleared in that year em braced a total of American and Foreign vessels of 2,526, of a united tonnage of 1,250,789, manned by 37,427 sailors. IgL The census of Georgia shows a population of 1,075,977, an increase of 61*,556 since 1850. Thirty counties show a loss, and ninety-eight counties a gain. A LADY’S POLITICS. Our gallantry prompts us to give place to the following spicy article, in compliance with a young lady’s re quest: COPIED FOR THE PALLADIUM. A Lady’s Opinion of the Political Crisis. I am no “Lucy Stone,” no advocate for “Woman's Rights;” still, I believe that Woman ought to have her rights, and, so long as I live in a free country, I intend to hold and express my opinions ' upon any and every subject to which I choose to set my attention. Don’t tell me that Woman should not meddle with politics. Have women no sense? Must they sit like stocks and stones, never so much as daring to open their mouths, i expressing an opinion as to their coun try's weal or woe? Never will I sit I calmly by at this crisis; I’ll say what II please, let it delight or offend. In the first place, I had objections to J all the candidates for the Presidential I chair; and here, I might go on to state ■ them, but I forbear; Lincoln is elected, ; and that event is sufficient to engage ; our attention at this time. We are ' now about to be governed by a man in ' whose election we have had no voice. I say, let the Union be scattered to the four winds of heaven, rather than sub mit to such a rule. The Union is dear, but I would not submit to loss of rights, I dishonor and degradation, for the sakei ,of the Union. Southern Rights are bet i ter. Eight Northern States have abro [ gated the fugitive slave clause of the Constitution, and instead of a Southern man getting his rights, (who goes there for his fugitive slave,) he gets tarred and feathered, fined and imprisoned.— Talk about American patriotism! If the old Romans and Spartans lived in these days, those Abolitionists would been scourged to death thirty years ago. Some say, “Wait for an overt act from Lincoln before we se- ■■ cede.” Why what do they call “overt?” ' His very election is “overt.” When he i lias bound us hand and foot, led us to I e ’ | the very brink of* the precipice, and a little force would throw us over, I dare ; say he would give us our rights, even indulge us, giving more line, and more | line, until, like the fish, the hook be j comes more deeply fixed in our mouth, I and we then lost forever. He would I treat us so kindly, we would not sus i pect him, though all the time under mining us, preparing a place for his gunpowder. The Union, I have said, was dear, but when such repeated and open trans gressions of law, and such complete abandonment of all that tends to make us good and great, are so frequent and glaring, what good can the South ex-• pect to derive from a longer mainte nance of relations with them ? Os course I am in favor of secession, but do not think a peaceable separation can now be made. There are too many traitors at home, and the amicable rela tions which once existed can never be restored. So Southern boys, button on your cockades, and stand by your rights. Hazel Dell, Ga., Dec. 8, 1860. We most heartily concur with our fair contributor in the belief “that wo man ought to have her rights,” and trust that we have not a reader who is unwilling to concede them to her.— It is true, she is denied the right of suf frage, at which she has the good sense not to cornplain, but she is not without “a finger in the pie.” Woman has a right to “hold and express her opinions upon any and every subject to which she sets her attention,” and if she has ever failed to exercise this right to its fullest extent, we have yet to be ad- ’ l vised of the circumstance. Though not I ° i allowed to vote, nor expected to fight, i her approving smile is never withheld from the sterner sex when engaged in a holy cause, and in consideration of this glorious encouragement, she is justly granted the right to give vent to her feelings in her own way. « The idea of women sitting “like stocks and stones, never so much as daring to open their mouths,” would never occur to us, except as a very ' funny conception. Just think of it 1 j ; A woman sitting with closed lips while ; | her tongue’s end is burning with words! ! Where is the painter who could sketch I such an anomalous character in perfect coloring? We would like to have the picture hung before us, in our sanctum, to inspire us with funny thoughts while catering to the requirements of that class of our readers who have a taste for paragraphs which excite the risi bles in a high degree. It would be worth “a mint of money.” The proceedings of Congress show a stern resolution on the part of the South not to yield to any proposed compromise, and the antagonism to the North daily increases. It is improba ble that any public business of impor tance will be transacted until the all absorbing question of compromise or secession is settled. Loose ideas on the subject of business will not answer. It must be reduced to something of a science. It has its principles, upon a knowedge of which success in it mainly depends. Io embark in it without this prepara i tory knowledge is to set sail without a i port, and without an acquaintance with j navigation, circumstances that insure i certain shipwreck.

The Montgomery Advertiser, after noticing the suspension of several newspapers in the South, truly remarks that few persons imagine the constant labor and expense attendant upon con ducting any kind of but especially dailies. Many appear to think it is as easy to keep .one up as it is for them to read it. This, we as sure them, is a great mistake, as is ev idenced by the frequent failure of news paper enterprises. Everybody thinks before going into the newspaper busi ness that he can manage it better, and make more money than others. Expe rience soon teaches men better. Money has been made, and can be made out of newspapers, as well as anything else, but it must be precisely in the same way, viz: by a knowledge of the busi ness, and energetic attention to it. Too frequently neither of these requi sites is fulfilled in new establishments, and hence many of the failures we see. Newspapers are the hardest things in the world to build up, and the hardest to break down. It may be proper to remind the pub lic, (adds the Advertiser,) that others besides editors and proprietors have duties to perform during a financial crisis such as this. Patrons should pay their bills, as far as they can do so in justice to themselves and other credit ors. Newspapers are at a heavy cash expenditure, while the charges are in small amounts, which might well be paid first, instead of being put oft’ to the last, as is too frequently the case. Drink Pure Fresh Water.—Set a pitcher of water in a room, and in a few hours it will have absorbed nearly all the respired and prespired gasses in the room, the air of which will be come purer, but the water utterly fil thy. The colder the water is, the great er its capacity to contain the gasses. At ordinary temperatures, a pint of wa ter will contain a pint of carbonic acid gas and several pints of ammonia.— This capacity is nearly doubled by reducing the water to the temperat ture of that of ice. Hence water kept in the room awhile is always unfit for use. For the same reason, the water in a pump stock should all be pumped out in the morning before any is used. Impure water is more injurious to the health than impure air. MARRIAGES. On the evening of the 6th instant, at the resi dence of the bride’s father, Mr. J. L. Dunaway to i Miss Fannie Dellimar, all of this county. On the same evening, at the residence of the bride's grand-mother, Mr. J. T. Turner to Miss Anna Morris, all of this county. ■■■ngMwraPMmniwwMßßMammaß Regular Communication of L. Dwelle Chapter, No 17. December sth, A. L. 5860. The all-wise disposer of human events, in the dispensation of His providence, has seen fit to take from our Fraternity another lieloved brother. — Andrew J. Prather, a companion and member of our Chapter, is dead! Fallen in the prime of vigorous manhood. Fallen by the hands of fell j disease 1 Another tie has been severed. Memory ■ goes back to the pleasant and profitable hours j spent in our Chapter with companion Prather, j Only a few short weeks have passed away since he was with us, in the enjoyment of health, and of a bright prospect of a long and a useful life. “ The Judge of all the earth will do right,” for he is good, for His mercy eudureth forever. He has taken from us companion Prather. Let us bow with submissive meekness to this afflictive dispen sation. Our beloved companion was, in private life, an unobtrusive citizen, a humane master, a kind and indulgent parent, a loving and devoted husband, a warm-hearted and charitable mason, and, above all, a sincere Christian. He is gone. Never again shall we see his manly form and hear bis friendly voice in oui' social meetings. May the Supreme Architect above ever watch with guardian care over the heart-stricken com panion of our deceased brother. May He afford to her grace and consolation in this her lime of sore affliction and bereavement. May His kind protection be always over the orphaned children of companion Prather. Let us, companions, cherish in our breasts a warm re gard for the memory of our friend and brother. Let us copy his exemplary life, and emulate his many virtues. Resolved, That a copy of these resolutions be spread upon the minutes of L. Dwelle Chapter, No. 17. Resolved, That a copy of them he furnished to the widow of our deceased companion. Resolved, That these resolutions be published in the Lumpkin Palladium. Resolver!, That we will wear the usual badge of mourning for thirty days. JOHN R. ROCKWELL,) DURAN W. SURLES, r Comm'tc. WM. R. THORNTON, ) FOR THE PALLADIUM. OBITUARY. A dark and direful gloom has hovered over an other family on account of the bright and bloom ing star that fell on the night of the 7th inst. She has sailed over the dark waters of the Jordan and wended her way through the gloomy and dismal valley of death, guided by the glistening and sparkling land of Paradise shining in the distance. The warm tears of her old mother dampened her pallid cheek after the golden-winged angels had sung the closing scene of life and bore her spirit to the land of infinite bliss, and placed the resplen dant crown upon her brow. Friends and relatives mourn her loss, and well they may, for there was not a more amiable and devoted lady than the deceased—Mrs. Susan Yarbrough. But she is gone! After a long and agonizing illness, death came to her relief. “ Great God ! how eould thy vengeance light So bitterly on one so bright? How could the hand that gave such charms Blast them again ?” As she glided upward and struck the portal of Heaven with her golden rod for admittance, how the delicate fingers of the angels touched the melo dious strings of their golden harp and filled the intangible eather of Paradise with their soft and gentle voices in honor of her who would soon be one of their number. How her rosy cheek blushed with inexorable joy when she beheld gathering closely and affectionately around the many smil ing faces to welcome her presence to that home where no disease will debilitate nor calamities be fall, but where there will be one continual stream of happiness and joy. Weep not for her, mother, husband, and sisters, but live and so conduct yourselves and look forward with an eager eye to the day when the dark cloud of death arises to envelop you, in order that you may then be pre pared to meet her in that bright, shining and lucid land*of bliss, where no more parting will be. F. CITIZENS’ MEETING.

By that time we expect to have the school room newly furnished and neatly fitted up; so that the transition from well furnished homes to the place of study shall not present the wretched contrast which it has done heretofore. Being convinced that limited schools are the best, both for teacher and pupil, we shall limit the Academic Department to thirty scholars, and the Primary Department to twenty. We invite the attention of young men whose time is worth money, and who desire to receive special attention, to this feature of our school. Believing that visible illustration is the basis of all successful teaching—that there is a greater probability of getting access to a child's mind through the eye than either of the other senses, we have furnished the school with a Chemical and Philosophical Apparatus, also Globes. Maps, and Primary Apparatus, for illustrating first principles to small children. No deductions will be made except in cases of protracted sickness. Those who begin during the first month will be charged full tuition. Studious habits and good deportment are necessary to in sure continuance in this institution.

Lumpkin, Ga., Dec. 1.1860-ly TO THE PUBLIC. Ever since my “Aromatic Schiedam Schnapps”- the purest and best Gin for medical purposes— became fully appreciated throughout this country, I have been constantly solicited by druggists, apo thecaries, and large numbers of the most eminent physicians, in all parts of the Union, to add to my Gin importations pure Brandies and Wines, and to bottle them the same as I am and have been doing with the Schnapps; to seal with my seal and give my certificate guarantying their undoubted purity. I should long ago have endeavored to comply with the flattering requests, but I found it impossi ble to do so, especially in regard to the important articles of Brandy, Port and Madeira Wines, owing to the high prices in Europe, occasioned by short grape crops for some years. Happily for the suc cess of my new enterprise, the grape crops for the last and the previous years were abundant. Another point in my favor is this: the duty now on French Brandy is 70 per cent, less than it wa when my medical friends began to solicit me to furnish pure Brandy and Wines. These favoring circumstances have enabled me to commence a new enterprise. 1 have concluded to import Cogs nac Brandy and Wines, to bottle them for medical as well as for private use. lam well aware, from the bitter experience, the vile attacks, the misrep resentation qf motives and enmity of dealers and mixers of bad articles which I met with and con quered in the case of my Schnapps, before it ob tained its present proud prc-emiuence over all oth er Gins, that the new enterprise will be attended with equal opposition, more trouble, and involve an immense outlay of capital. These difficulties and expenses will be much greater, because I shall have to encounter the malignity and enmity of countless thousands who are engaged in the liquor trade, and making fortunes by the manufacture of infamous imitations of “Brandy” made from pois onous compounds—their use being alike destruct ive to healthy human life, and of course speedy death to the feeble invalid, or those in whose be half eminent physicians have urged upon me the the importation of a pure, invigorating article of Brandy. I shall do so, iu spite of all opposition, even that of the dealers and sellers of the stuff in bottles called “Brandy,” of which millions of bot tles are annually sold, and which is no better than the worst of poisons. I am perfectly willing and well satisfied to em bark in this new enterprise, and have no fears, no doubts about the most ultimate success for myselt and the druggists and apothecaries in the thirty three States, if they will heartily co-operate with me in my efforts to drive out of use the vilest ot compounds, called “Brandy.” and replace it with the pure, unadulterated article, which 1 will faith fully and truly supply. The medical virtues of pure French Brandy need not to be told. The Brandy imported by me I will bottle, seal with my seal, my label, and add my certificate that it is of the first quality, and pure and unadulterated as when it left the distil lery in France. I will stake my reputation as a man, my stand ing as a merchant, and my tried commercial integ rity, that what 1 pledge" and certify to with my seal, my label, and my certificate is correct, and can be relied upon by purchasers in any section of the Union to which my Brandy may be sent. I have made arrangements with the best Brandy manufacturers in France, with those who have a world-wide renown as the first Brandy exporters. I have selected four eminent firms who will ship me their Brandies. I shall not designate the arti cle by any other name than Wolfe’s Genuine Cog nac Brandy. If I were to do otherwise it would be useless, for then unprincipled persons, who are incessantly engaged in the nefarious traffic of imi tating all valuable articles, would soon imitate and adopt my mark as a cloak under which to sell their compound of poisons to cover the vile impo sition. 1 am now prepared to receive and execute or ders for Wolfe's Genuine Cognac Brandy addressed to me, No 22 Beaver Street. Prices will be given to personal application, or in reply to letters. In this circular I have thus far written mainly about pure Cognac Brandy; 1 have, now to call your attention to other liquors and wines. I am prepared to supply orders for “Jamaica Rum,” imported and bottled by me ; also “Irish and Scotch Whiskey.” The purity and genuine ness of the last named articles, imported for “med ical use,” I will also guaranty with my seal, my . label and my certificate. I shall also import the purest and best “Madeira,” ••Port,” and “Sherry” Wines for Medical purposes. These I also guaranty with ray seal, my label, and my certificate. In conclusion permit me to add that I shall be happy to hear from those that this circular reaches and whose personal or peculiar interests it may ef fect, in the combination of articles that I engage to supply. Should any such person visit New York—especially a Druggist, Apothecary or Phy sician—l shall be most happy to receive a personal call. There is no importer who possesses more actual experience and knoweldge of the importing liquor and wine trade than I do, I have been engaged in it over thirty years. 1 have narrated some facts connected with my new enterprize, for the particular information of those connected with the practice or the sale of medicines.
