The following is an extract from the report of an interview of a Bal timore journalist with Jefi'erson Davis, and shows what Mr. Davis thinks of Greeley. He says Gree« lev is “ honest capacity” and Grant, *• military incompetency.” I look on Mr. Greeley as an hon est enthusiast, with many cranky notions, in whose defense lie has written so much, that he does not care to he converted from his error. Vet lie is a capable man, of great integrity. The choice between him and Gen. Grant is •* honest capaci* *ty” x.’jd “ military competency.” (..rant is incapable of even appre» dating the position he now occus ! iies. Congress hardly adjourns tefore he bundles off to Long Branch. I never knew him in Mexico. We both served there, but he was with the regulars. The tale that he is under obligations to me, when Secretary of War, for ac cepting his resignation, is untrue. I accepted it simply to save costs of trial. He would only have been dismissed. As be offered to resign I accepted his resignation. Mr. Greeley has been known to me ai sight for many years. When iie was in the House we passed each other daily. Never spoke to Itim till after he signed my bond. Mr. Voorhees did wrong in styling this act of Mr. Greeley’s an imper tinence. What Mr. Greeley did then was bv no means to his inters <*.«t. Indeed it was much loss to him in popularity and financially. In his present position, it does him no hurt, I am glad to think. Ufceferring to the subject of polit : - cul disabilities, Mr. Davis laugh ingly said: I can beat any one on that score. West Pointers are still disabled ; I .am,one. Thirty seventh Congress* iinen are disabled; I was there.— Cabinet members are disabled ; I .was one ; and so on through. Taxes of 1S71 Mnst be Paid Before You Can Vote in 1872. A delegation of forty citizens was appointed last Saturday, at a pub lic meeting in Athens, to attend the railroad convention in Madison, in the interest of the Athens and Eatonton railroad. This shows the deep interest felt in a direct connection with our favorite port. We may get a report of proceed ings of the Convention in time for this issue. It is evident that the people here and all along the line are thoroughly in earnest, and with the co-operation of Savannah and the Central railroad, this important line can be promptly built. The road penetrates a rich country, whose local business alone would it is believed make it good stock. In connection with the Northeastern road, reaching eutto thegrain region of Georgia and East Tennessee, it would secure an immense trade for Savannah. Its importance to Athens cannot be over estimated. It would make this an important competing point between Macon and Savannah and Augusta and Charleston, and as a distributin point for Western produce give us advantages almost, if not quite equal to Atlanta. These lines will afford freight facilities to manufac turing enterprises, and very soon this interest will expand into ini- immense importance. Wc look with deep concern for the acti >n of Savannah and the Central Railroad at the Madison meeting. If they but second t’uc earnest efforts of the people along the liiie. the question is settled. If they will not help us, it is hardly possible that the road can he built at present. What We Gain. - Parton’a Life of Greeley. Now that there is every proba bility that Mr. Greeley will be our next President^ a truthful history of his life becomes a matter of high intere t and imjMjrlance to every citizen. It is therefore most fortunate that we have such a hook from the able and impartial ten of Jam s Parton, the well known essayist and biographer. Any hf<* of Mr. GrecVy that is likely to be p .. forward now, got up unoer the press ot present political excite ment, will be liable to the charge of partisanship. It is the great merit of Mr. Parton's work that, having been written without any intention of making it subserve a political purpose, it presents an impartial view of the important event* of Mr. Greeley’s career. The work is a profoundly interest ing one; and aside from the atten tion now devoted to Mr. Greeley, arising from his present candidacy, the mere story of his wonderful and singular career—his early life, its poverty, its hardships, and his precocious development under it; ^ . .... . . , . • . .

ART DEPARTMENT. The enthusiastic support so readily accorded to their enterpris**, wherever it has been introduee«l, has convinced the publishers of The Aldinc of the soundness of their theory that the American pul>- lie would recognize and heartily support any sin cere effort to elevate the me and standard of illus trated publication*. That so many weakly wicked sheets exist and thrive is uot evidence that there is no market ibr anything hetter—in leeil the suc cess of The Aldine from the start is direct piooi of the contrary. With a population so vast, and <.f such varied taste, a publisher cau choose his pa- trou*. an.I u»* i 3 rather indicative of his own than of the taste of the country.

It is your duty to publish, at the court house door, your insolvent list for 1871, and to furnish election managers of the county a list of all persons who have not paid their tix -- for that year, in accordance with paragraph 7, section 937, Irwin’s Code, and all jHTsons who have not paid all taxes which may have been required of thein, and which they may have i.ad an opportunity of paying, agreea bly t»law lor the year next preceding the election, cannot, under the Consti- lx* allowed to VOtC. The payment of the tax for the year 1*71 entitles the citizens to vote in the ••btciions of the present year, and you oil! receive the tax for that year and n .tejpt accordingly, although the tax aay.'r may be in arrears tor former year*. In case of default in the pay ment of poll tax for 1871, you will collect one dollar as a poll tax aud one dollar as penalty for failure to comply ■wFh the law. Respectfully, Madison Bell, Comptroller General. DaJIEOXKGA AND THE UnIvERs ru V.—-The Hon. W. P. Price, of iialiloncga, writes as follows to the editor of the Gainesville Eagle, uns <i« r date of the 21st instant; PkjUi Sir The North Georgia Agricultural College at Daljtoncga has, by an arrangement between the trustees of that institution and the trustees of the State University, at Athens, become an integral part of the State Agricultural and Me-> chatiical College of Georgia. The details will be given to the public in a short time. The Bablonega institution will open in January,— The arrangement is one every way tNtleulalcd to benefit both institu- iions, and I am pleased to state that the most amicable feelings exist be tween the friends of Athens and Dahlonegn. I liave the honbr to remain your obedient servant, 1 • W. P Price. With Mr. Greeley’s election to the Presidency we shall elect a Demociatic House of Representa tives and also a majority of the State Legislatures, thus making a great inroad into the Republican ascendancy in the Federal Senate, j As the Senate will necessarily re main Republican during the first half of the next Presidential term, Mr. Greeley will have advantages which a regular Democratic candi date would not possess in getting his appointments confirmed. A Democratic President with a hostile Senate would be in so embarrassing a position and so constantly thwar ted, that he could he of little ser vice either to the party or the coun try. Mr. Greeley will get a great deal of co-operation from Republi can Senators which would be with held from a regular Democratic President, even if We could hope to elcet one. East Poultney Yt ; hi* journey to Western Pennsylvania, his arrival in New York almost penniless and alone; his sttaly progress, first as a journeyman printer, then as editor, until his establishment of the New York Tribune; his success in build ing up the Tribune as it were out of his own brains, until it became the most powerful journal in America; his subsequent career as one of the most active, influential, honest and best abused men of his time—all this, as graphically told by Mr. Parton, is valuable reading at any time; and particularly valu able to young men as an example of what can be accomplished, by integrity and devotion to honorable pursuits. Tiie narrative is brought down, to tbe.present time, giving % his tory of Mr. Greeley’s connection with the bailing of Jefferson Davis, his views on reconstruction, etc., and closes with an account of his nomination, and letter of accept ance. It is Published by the NATION AL PUBLISHING CO., of At lanta, who want agents in every County. Where A. T. Stewart Stands. —The following paragraph has been going the rounds of the Radical press: “ A. T. Stewart says that the elec tion of Mr. Greeley would be a nation al calamity to the country. If he is elected, God help us.” The New York News is authorized by Mr. Stewart to state that it is a falsehood, made from whole cloth; and Mr. Stewart also says that, in his opinion, a financial panic is much more likely to occur if the present party remains in power. “ Morton Put It In.” Tiieir Only Hoff..—“ The only hope we now have," writes Senator Morton to a friend, “ i« in preventing Democrats from voting for Greeley.” But this last desperate hope is daily shown to be baseless. Greeley will get the Democratic vote. Democrats arc not going to aid Grant by serving as catspaws to his unprincipled man agers like Morton and Cameron. Grant’s Economy.—Under the administration of Andrew Johnson the cost of the judiciary branch of the Fed eral Government in 18<i7-8 was $723,- 378 oi. Under Grant it was in 1870 $2,610,342 53, and in 1871 it was $3,320,918 98. Here is an increase in 1870 under Grant over 1868 under Johnson of $1,886,963 96. Aud not withstanding there was never less of justice than at present The Only Choice.—The choice dering at the surroundings, many at once jumped «>tV the <lerk and were drowned. Women clung t<> children, resolved that they would perish with them. Owing to the darkness, they could not make out where they were, and as the awlul feeling pre vailed that the deck was drifting out to sea, il was indeed a night of horrors. At length morning dawned, and the shore of Watch ilill was dis covered ; but the wind had not abated much, and although by this time those on deck had made them selves somewhat secure, fears were entertained lest the heavy sea then running would sweep them off Nearer and nearer the floating remnant of the vessel approached the shore, and finally struck tiie lwittom. This was a signal note and in a iiaif dozen seconds the nearly exhausted and perishing passengers plunged into tiie surf to trust to fate. The wreck soon after went to pieces, and many seized hold ol the debris and were swept ashore alive. In one instance a lady, with her two children, one under each arm, was carried safely tinvugu the surf. Human beings struggled in all directions. Some were struck by floating timber, and swept senseless high up on tiie bench. Others, unable any longer to hold out, suc cumbed, but were finally washed rshore in a dyiug condition. There appears to be some doubt whether the schooner, Nettie Cush ing, now at New London, is the boat that did the damage. One of her crew, it is said, declares that tiie steamer with which the Cush ing came into collision was a while one, with side wheels. Some per sons believe that the Metis sank tiie schooner that struck her, and that the Cushing was in collision with another steamer. The first officer of the Narragansett believes that the number of persons lost does not exceed forvvsfive. J Rotluctnl. UST RECEIVED, a hop LITERARY . si* nui 'h i- [j: DKFARTMKNT.

Farnsworth of Illinois, in a recent speech, gives an incident illustrative of the manner in which Grant is “run” by the “ ring” which surrounds him. “ When Bullock of Georgia found he had a Legislature which lie could not control and use, he went to Washington and “ laid in” with the Senatorial ringtohave it purged by Congress. To this end Grant was made their tool. In his message to Congress was a re commendation that Congress pass alawauthorizing Bullock to exclude all members of the legislature who could not take the oath prescribed by the Reconstruction act for U. S. officers. Gen. Farnsworth went to Grant and asked him what this passage meant. Grant ‘ replied, “Well, I really cannot say what that does mean ; Morton put it in /” . ,, r r.i . was capsized aftei leaving the ship, Here is a proof of the great states- au d from seven to ten inmates, in- Anothrr Disaster al Son. The steamship Bienville left New York on August 10, for As- pin wail. When in latitude 25. 12, longitude 74. 15, at 3: 45 a.m., August 15, fire was discovered among the cargo. A stream of water was immediately turned on, but the steam pumps after a lew revolutions broke down, and could not be worked. Ca.it. Muary then ordered the batches haltered down, hoping thereby to smother the fire, and attbe same time lire extinguish ers were used between decks and steam kept on. The fire gained, however, rapidly, and at six o'clock Captain Maury, fearing an explosion from the pow der stored in the bol l if lie remind! by the ship any longer, ordered the six boats lowered, and the passens gers and erewjjegan to embark--*— At 7:30, Captain Maury was forced to leave the ship, being the last one on board.

S3 per | ^rthwhoTc day Vinegar bitters Vinegar Bitter* are not a vile Fancy Drink. made of Poor Rum, Whiskey, Proof Spirits and Refuse Liquors, doctored, spiced, and sweetened to please the taste, called “Tonics,” ” Appetizers,’* ‘•Restorers.” &c., that lead the tippler on toadrunkenness and rum, but are a true Medicine, made from the native roots and herbs of California, free from all Alcoholic Stimulants. They are the Great IRood Purifier and a Life-giving Principle, a Perfect Rer.ovatcr and In vigor-tor of ihe System, carrying off all poisonous matter and restoring the blood to a healthy condition, enriching it, refreshing and invigorating both mind and body. They are easy of administration, prompt in their action, certain in their results, safe and reliable in all forms of disease. No Person can take these Bitters accord ing to directions, and remain long unwell, provided their bones are not destroyed by mineral poison or other means, and the vital organs wasted beyond the point of repair. Dyspepsia or Indisrcfit ion. Headache, Pain | in the Shoulders, Coughs, Tightness of the Chest, Diz ziness, Sour Eructations of-the Stomach, Bad Taste in the Mouth, Bilious Attacks, Palpitation of the Heart, Inflammation of the Lungs, Pain in the regions of the Kidneys, and a hundred other painful symptoms, are the offsprings of Dyspepsia. In these complaints it has no equal, and one bottle will prove a better guar- l atitee of its merits than a lengthy advertisement. For Fenmlc Complaints, m young or old, i married or single, at the dawn of womanhood, or the : turn of life, these Tonic Bitters display so decided an i influence that a marked improvement is toon percep tible. j For Inflammatory nnfl Clironlc Rheu matism and Gout, Dyspepsia or Indigestion, Bilious, Remittent and Intermittent Fevers, Diseases of the Blood, Liver, Kulnevs and Bladder, these Bitters have been most successful. Such Diseases are caused by Vitiated Kl«*od, wlrch is generally produced by de:*ngc- raent of the Digestive Organs. They arc a Gentle Purgative n* well at a Tonic, possessiiu* also the peculiar merit of acting j as a powerful agent in relieving Congestion or Inflam mation of the L;ver and Visceral Organs, and in Bilions I Diseases- For Skin Diseases, Eruptions, Tetter, Salt- Rheum, Blotches, Spots, Pimples, Pustules, Boils, Car buncles, Ring-worms, Scald-Head, Sore Eyes, Ery sipelas Itch, Scurfs, Discolorations of the Skin, Humors and Diseases of the Skin, of whatever name or nature, nre literally dug up and carried out of the system ill a short time by the use of these Bitters. One bottU iu such cases will convince the most incredulous f.f their curative effects. Cleanse the Vitiated Rlood whenever \<>u find its impurities bursting through the skin in Pimples, Eruptions, or Sores; cleanse it when you find it ob struct?.; and s’li^gish in tlie veins ; cleanse it when it is foul; your fee’utgs will tell you when. Keep the blood pure, and ihe health of the system will follow. Grateful thon*and* proclaim Vinkgak Bit- Tr.us the most wonderful lnvigorant that ever susumed the sinking system.
