FRIDAY MORNING, Dec. 17.
DOTS BY THE WAYSIDE.
Wc have for the past week been sojourn
ing through Northern Georgia. A great
part of our time has beer- spent upon the
cars, and we have had a capital opportuni
ty tu become sorrowful over the immense
and continually increasing tide of emi
grants that are flocking from Georgia to the
great States of the w cst.
Every train upon which we traveled was
filled to overflowing by huddled crowds of
men. women and children, that yrcrc leav
ing the richest and most promising country
on the continent, to try their fortunes in an
unknown land
Most of them were very gay, lively and
frolicsome to a startling degree. Shouts of
laughter and defiance answered the warn
ings of th'se passen ers who disclaimed
against the wisdom of their course.
Occasionally, however, the roving eye
would rest on some poor woman, that si
lently wept as her heart strings were being
torn, or some timid child, that frightened
by the strange scene, couched in a mother’s
lap, and whimpered with uneasy fear. Save
these few exceptions, however, all were
noisily demonstrating their careless happi
ness, and lustily proclaiming that joyous
excitement that every man feels while in the
midst of a bustle and a change. God grant
that their lives in their new homes may be
happy.
Arrangements had been made by which
they were transported from Atlanta to New
Orleans for eight dollars and a half. Thou
sands took advantage of this tempting prop
osition, and Georgia will feel before long the
effect of this most disastrous madness that
has seized her people. Wo will confess -
that we see but little to rejoice at in the
status of Georgia, while her best sons and
daughters are fleeing from her in multi
tudes.
We found the travel upon the Georgia
Road immense. This is one of the most
important thoroughfares in our State, and
by proper management, must rejoice its
stockholders by jolly big dividends.
We found Athens the great school cen
tre of the State, rocking a'ong quietly, in
drowsy affluence, with bank notes mildew-
. ing in plethoric purses, and gold lazilyjrust-
ing in coffers, and the city standing in im
minent need of a necessary line of rail
way.
If Athens could be waked from her leth
argy, she would become a giant city in the
Commonwealth. She has as much talent,
and more capital than almost any city in
the State; and if her people could be arous
ed from a most luckless apathy into which
they have fallen, she would, with the ce
lerity of magic, rise to that eminence that
hfer position, as mistress of Northeast Geor
gia, demands.
We found Messrs. Christy and Adkinson
in the best of health, and theirs (shall we
say “provincial,” Brother Christy) sheets
in the same salubrious state.
Real estate in and around Athens com
manded most flattering prices, evidencin;
that the people have great confidence in the
possibilities of their city. May thry not
be disappointed.
On thV waj to Atlanta the train having
been thrown from the track, we were com
pelled to get supper at the thriving little
town of Rutledge. While there we had
the pleasure of meeting Rough Rice, of
the Rutledge Reporter. He has considera
ble newspaper talent, a large conversational
humor, and an infinity of pure grit. He
gets up a spicy paper, but should soften
down liis dictatorial “I” into the editorial
“we”.
, We found Atlanta surging right merrily
onward. The Atlantese were mightily ex
cited by a balloon ascension, (ice are used
to them) that wa3 to take place on Friday
afternoon. The professional balloonist, and
an amateur (Ape we believe was his name)
made the ascent, and landed aboat seventy
miles from the starting point-.
The skating rink is one of the most in
teresting features of Atlanta, and is pat
ronized by all classes. We must have one
in Rome.
The late election of Ezzard has given
fresh impulse to the Constitution, and that
journal is booming most melodiously on the
high road to fortune. Avery is an immac
ulate' trump.
From Atlanta wo came to Rome.
IN THE CONFERENCE ROOM
- The North Georgia Conference of the
Methodist Episcopal Church South, now
in session at the City Hall—is a body of no
inconsiderate interest. Its presiding officer
the Rev. Bishop Doggett is to well known
well known to make au allusion to him.
Me has beau an Itinerant Preacher of the
Va- Conference for forty years. He was
a considerable time the able Editor of the
Southern Methodist Quarter Roviaw. At
the last general conference of the Church
held in New Orleans he was elected to his
present position.
- He is distinguished for his Elegant Schol
arship Splendid Oratory, and profound
Logic. Lastly and wbat more can be said,
ho is the trne type of the Virginia' Gen
tleman.
In looking over the Hall we beheld many
familiar and Interesting faces.
In front of the Bishop’s desk, looking as
young)as “twenty years ago,’’ was one of the
“veterans” of Methodism, and a face well
known to the people of Georgia—W. J.
Parks, or “uncle Billy" Parks,, as he is
called by his friends. He is nearly seventy
and has been in active service for fifty.one
years. He isj truiy one of the “Pillar: of
Qvc Church”
To the right is one whose face is the pic
ture of Gen. J. E. B Stuart—the Rev.
Joseph S. Key, D. D, member of the South
Georgia Conference, and stationed at Ma
con. : Dr. Key is a man of great pathos and
intellectual force, and one of the moat pop
ular members of the Methodist Church
South. He is a graduate of Emory Col
lege, and the University of Georgia con
ferred, the degree of D. D. on him at its
last commencement.
That wall definedjfaee, with such an earnest
expression, is that of the Rev. Clement A.
Evans, tljellato commander of Gordon’s
division, Lce’slavmy, but now ope of the
most distinguished ministers of thio M. J3.
Church. - First the lawyer, then the Legis
lator—again the soldier, and now the 'hum
ble, eloquent divine. In every position he
*h - is pr- - ved hin.self worthy of the confi
dence reposed, and in no position has he
gained brighter laurels than that of his last
choice—the ministry.
Dr. Jesse B-ring, of the Atlanta Medi
cal College, in a few words, again tendered
his services to the church as an effective
minister. For a short time past he has been
from unavoidable circumstances, a supernu
merary, but he desires to be again in “har
ness For forty years he has {been an able
and energetic member of the ministry.—
Through his efforts the M. E. Church,
South was established in California. He
has preaened in Texas, but most of his la
bors have been in Georgia.
In the rear portion of t'le Hall, and in
the midst- of the “Brothers,” and speakinj
with the same in whispered accents, can be
seen the portly form of the “beloved disci
ple,"’ Rev. E. W. Spear. He is “clever”
as a man, and “clevor” as a minister, both
in the American and English acceptance of
the term.
At the desk, as Secretary of the Confer
once, is one with whem the Press of Geor
gia are fully acquainted. W e allude to that
talented, polite and energetic gentleman,
Rev. Atticus G. Haygood, the champion of
cold water, and the acknowledged dire eie
my of “King Alchohol.
The Rev. Wm. M. Crumley, the favorite
Chaplain of Lee’s army, with the Reverends
Morgan Callaway, Walter Branham,
Habersham J Adams, Thomas Pierce -as.
Pierce, Joseph Singleton, W J Scots and
J W Burke, are all well and favorably
known to the people of Georgia, as able
and earnest workers in the ministry of the
M. E. Church. South.
Rev. Dr. Wiley, President of Emory
College, and Rev. Dr. Abagast President
of Martha Washington Female College,
Va., Rev. Mr. Springfield, of Holston Con
ference, Rev. R. A. Holland and Rev.
Dr. Muncic, are among the visitors to this
Conference. The last two are from Balti
more, and their respective efforts here in
the pulpit will be long remembered by our
people, as types of the highest eloquence
and exquisite imagery.
Yarbrough Postopfice. —We are in
formed that but two mails from this direc
tion hare been delivered at the above nam
ed office since the 20th ult. They are en
titled to a daily mail. We -ire told that it
is the fault of the route agents. We hope
the officials in the postoffice department will
investigate the matter.
A CAKD.
The attack made upon me in the Com
mercial of Sunday, demands a brief no
tice.
From investigation, it transpires that Mr
Nevin. wrote, and is alone responsible for
the article in question.
This being the case, we pass it in silence,
for under no conceivable circumstances
would we so violate the laws of society and
honor as to have a personal difficulty with a
man who is physically disabled.
To in any manner injure orinsnlt either
a one-legged man or a woman, would eter
nally affix disgrace to a gentleman. In the
face of this fact, TVir.. Nevin will greatly
enhance his already considerable reputa
tion by publishing further unprovoked in
sults M. D win ell.
Dr. J. A. Clot-ton of Huntsville,
Ala., who has a high reputation for the
treatment of Piles, Ulcers Diseases of the
Kidneys, &o., will be in Rome, from the
1st till 5th of January. Ho refers to sev
eral of the best physicians of this State, and
adjoining States.
DEMOCRATS RALLY TO-NIGHT !
Attond the Democratic Meeting To-Night.
We cannot urge our citizens too strongly
to attend the Convention called to-night,
for the purpose of nominating a Democrat
ic candidate for Mayor.
There ore many and obvious reasons why
every tax payer should make it his duty
to attend this meeting.
There are many candidates uow under
nomination by different cliques, and receiv
ing stout support from their small, but de
voted circle of friends.
If the race is ran with such a large num
ber of aspirants, a great amount of dis
cord and partisanry must inevitably -me-
crce. *
L A us avoid party bickerings and strifes
and establish harmony and good will by
resolving to attend the nominating Conven
tion tonight.
Rome is lustily marching on the high
way of progress. Many important schemes
are already under way, and others equally
important, are being talked of—a decided
and bold policy will characterize Rome for
the next twelve months, and a first rate
man, possessing clear judgment, considera
ble executive ability, and a complete knowl
edge of the situation, is needed.
With the good people of the city split
and divided upon sj many tickets, there is
great danger that, by diplomatic strategy,
some incompetent man may step into the
place; but by meeting with the bone- and
sinew of the city to night, and nominating
some good man, all this danger will be
avoided, and we’ll have a prosperous voy
age during the oorning year.
Hence, to all who are interested in the
welfare of our Mountain City, we say,
Attend the Nominating Convention
To-night.
Some may object to the meeting because
it gives a political complexion to oar civil
affairs. We reply that it is highly impor
tant to keep alive the organization of the
Democratic party. We will soon be called
upon to battle desperately with the Radi
cals of the country, and we should preserve
our usage, our rales and our organic exis
tence.
Then let the Democratic meeting bs a
tremendous one, and let ns demonstrate that
we are stiil a mighty force in the land.
There can be no harm in Democrats once
more assembling in council—there is no
danger that political prejudice will lead ns
to select o bad man, for the cream of the
city is in the Democratic pail.
Then, to all men we say, aorj ye beg
leave to urge and request, with yehemenoe,
Attend the Democratic Meeting To
night.
AcK.NOWLEDGMENTS.-We return thanks
to Mr. B. W. Wrenn, for a map, showing
the connections of the Western andAtian-
tie gajlpcadi and shadowing forth the
whole Railroad system of the United States.
It is a capital map of reference..
CITY CONVENTION.
We have received a communication in
tended to forestall or prevent the action *of
the Convention called to meet to-night at
the CityHall, for die purpose of nominat
ing candidates for Mayor -and Aldermen
We decline to publish it for the reason
that there are several Democrats spoken of
for the several offices, and wc deem it best
that the substantial men of the city shall,
in convention, without bias, make the nom
inations.
Let every Democrat who has a perms-
jent interest in the prosperity of the city,
be at the meeting to-night, and put forth
inch a ticket as all Democrats and well
wishers for the growth and prosperity of the
city may cordially support. The object of
thi meedog we hope, and believe will be
to secure the harmonious support of all
all good citizens, for suitable men to fill oar
municipal offices. “The game is worth the
candle,” and we hope every tax payer and
good citizen will be at the City Hall at 7
o’clock to-night.
BULLOCK AT WORK.
Theis arch-agitator, is busily doing his
^irty work at Wag’nington. - Hounded on
y the certain knowledge that the people
of Georgia, will repudiate and punish him
unless he gains protection from his masters
in Congress; he has plunged blindly in the
sea of slander, and 'is doing a startling
business in a small way.
Some of the fictions circulated by the af
fable idiot, ore pleasantly surprising—such
for instance os this—he says that “a negro
cannot get justice in a Georgia Court
When the Bullock reflects that these Judges
were of his own appointment, he sorely’
won’t complain that they—his especial
pets—have soiled the ermine that he, with
greedy pride flung aronnd them.
Gen. Terry supports him in a repert
made to some Central Committee, and the
New York Times endorses him. “The fu
ture is abundantly radiant and pot bellied
with prosperity for the for the Governor.”
We can only say, Beware Rufus,mbboy.
In reply to a remark, with reference to
the probation of Radical ideas at the South
by means of ‘loyal’ press, he said that while
he was willing to contribute from his own
private purse as much as 810,000 towards
establishing a Radical paper in Georgia, he
knew it would be money wasted, and that
nothing coaid result bnt failure.
The above is an extract from a Conver
sation of collector Grinnel, with a promi
nent Georgian. What does it mean? What
do the Radicals wan with another paper,
while the Era is rnnning its machine?
What an ignorant cuss that fellow Grinnel
is, to be sure!
ENCOURAGE CtllVALHIC GAL
LANTRY TOWARD WOMEN
—o—
Amidst all the darkness and gloom with
which we are surrounded, there is one
thing that like a hope-star; shines with a
pleasing splendor. This is the immacu
late devotion and courtesy with which our
women are treated by Sonthern men.
This virtue is one of the.qualities that is
mixed in the blood of those men from
whom we sprung. The gallant cavaliers
of the Court of Charles who worshipped
women as they worshipped honor, were
driven to this clime, and from their loins
came our people. Each one of them held
a lance in rest for the benefit of the dastard
that flnng the least imputation upon wo
man’s character, and by a behest from
bright eyes, would singly fight the world to
vindicate the claims of his mistress, as
queen of love and beauty.
So completely did this feeling have pos
session of their natures, that through a loig
list of generations, they have sent it whirl
ing down in unimpaired vigor, and we—
the descendents of these merry men—stand
to-day, though we convey not lances, nor
enter the heraldric lists in the pomp and
circumstances of the latter day, yet women
at oar hands receive the same chivalric
courtesy, the same gentle gallantry, that
rendered oar ancestors, so remarkable.
Let ns encourage this. It is one of the
best signs of a nation. As long as woman
iB held in proper reverence by man, we need
fear nothing.
A nations prosperity will be graduated
by the treatment that its daughters receive
from its sons.
Whatever political miasma may cloud
our country, let us keep our social atmos
phere in perpetual sunshine.
Love and cherish tie women—protect
them jealously from the slightest taint of
dishonor—treat them with distinguished
and tender consideration, and all will be
well.

Farewell,—Under the recent appoint
ments Rev. H. H. Parks the beloved pas
tor efthe Methodist Church, in this place,
goes to Augusta, in charge of St. James.
Mr- Parks as a profound thinker, earnest
and practical preacher, and faithful pastor,
has few equals in the olerioal profession.
He is a man of so much substantial worth,
and depth of character, that he constantly
grows in the estimation oi those who are
in any way brought in association with
him. Oar people wonld hardly be recon
ciled at his removal,bnt for the reason that
he hopes for an improved state of health in
a milder climate. We bespeak for him and his
large and interesting family a cordial wel.
come and generous support by the people of
Augusta.
It is gratifying to learn that Rev. W. F.
Cook, who is to supply the church at Rome,
b aa excellent preqpjipr ap<} in every way
worthy of the position which he assumes
We are assured that he has always been
greatly beloved by the churches, where he
ministered in holy things, and we doubt not
onr people will rgceiye and support him,
as is becoming to one of his position C?4
calling. Let our new preacher and his fam
ily ha made . to feol at once that he is at
-borne iq gift midst. ‘ ;
Np Mqre .CoNPERENOE.--rThe preach
ers hare concluded not to hold conference
here nest year, qs it creates tod much dis
satisfaction,, when the -appointments arc
made. They, all want to stay at Rome, »p4
as we only need too or three, there* is very
much grief when ’tis announced that most

A New Idea'for a President.—The
New York World’s correspondent writes
from Washington:
The recommendation in the message con
cerning Georgia can hardly go through
without a strong protest fro;n the Demo
cratic sides, of both Honse 1 . This proposi
tion, virtually, that a State is the slave of
Coparess, which may decide that it has or
has not a government, and decree it after
the manner advised, already provokes de
cided comment. It is not, to be sure, a
newidea'to Congress,bu* is anew clause in
a President’s message. The Radicals are

should encourage the great Southern road
from Cincinnatti to Chattanooga; bnv the
Rome Railroad and ran it to the Alabama
line, wbieh will shorten the distance from
Atlanta to Memphis J4 miles; build the
road from Cartersville to Van Wert; build
a road from Carlersvil'e up the Etowah to

to 3Iprgaotqq. . '

December,- Warn
During the
ing • ints&i
Congressional
rion of tiis Sta
in tbe Umon ti __
will be made to reseat the expelled negroes
in onr own Legislature, are indices of ex
citing commotions and events pregnant wilt
good or evil. There has been a short calm
in which we have taken some peaceful
Comfort—but ihe storm is surely coming.
Congress, under the instigation of such
men as rise.only; when*the noble’fall, will
be urged to carry' there persecution to the'
hitter end ; and, we-apprehend that this
will be their policy when we read .their past
dealings with oar noble old Commonwealth.
Perfect submission to the most extremely
mortifying demands will, we fear, be the
ultimatum which must be accepted-by
Georgians, and this will'involve the hu
miliating necessity of returning to the posi
tion .of law makers the semi barbarians who
were ejected from onr Legislative councils.
The adoption of the 15th amendment,which
is a relinquishment, of unimportant right
of the State will also be required.as a pre
requisite to onr final restoration. To effect
these results the Sliiitary of the Conqueror
will be hale, in terrorem .over the people
and their representatives who may, to_avoid
the horrors of shoulderstrap .Tp]p yield
to the most extreme Congressional de
mand.
We cannot see why rational white men
she old desire t o degrade any portion of their
country by attempting the elevation of the
African to equality of political rights with
their own race. Nor can we sec any ra
tionality in the destruction of those reserv
ed rights of the States which enable them
-to central the political Status of the persons
within their borders. The troth is those
who advocate and eufprce such polices are
not rational—they are wild with fanaticism
—intoxicated by victory, and blind to the
real interests of the country. Instead of
insulting the South by forcing negroes into
her legislatures and demanding of her States
the relinquishment of their reserved rights
they should discard the one as impractica
ble and disgusting, and abandon the la'ter
requirement in obedience to justice, and
vise political economy.
We regard the restoration of the negro
to -eats in the Legislature as for less dan
gerous to Georgia in the future than the
adoption of the 15th amendment.. When
this amendment becomes a part of the Con
stitntion of the United States the right- re
linquished wiil never be restored; bat the
negro under the operation of the law of mind
mnst seek his true level and sink iso low
that all the Constitutions of earth could not
seenre him for any serious length of time
the privilege of participating in the enact
ment or enforcement if the laws for . Geor
gians.
What will be the demands of Congress
we are permitted to judge by the spirit
which that body has already exhibited to
wards the Sonthern States. It is more
difficult to predict the decision of" onr own
Legislators when those demands are laid be
fore them for their acceptance or rejection.
It is still more difficult for ns to determine
the course which the best interests of the
State require. Humiliation in its hideous
forms meets ns on the right hand as the fruit
of submission,and on the left we reap,as the
consequence of more manly action, a state
dissevered from her national moormgs, her
civil government shivered to atoms, busi
ness paralyzed, enterprise suspended, law
lessness reinvigorated for its mad career,
the passions of the people aroused, peace,
and contentment gone—and the operation
of our own humane laws superseded by
military edicts enforced by military sa

The Removal .of jth£_ Capital?—It is
said that General Logan'and several other
Western "members of COngrese have deter
mined, to make the question of the removal
of the capital from Washington to "some
point in the West a prominent feature of
such as the indej-endence of Cuba,the finan
ces of tho country, the internal; revenue
laws, and many other questions": of vastly
more importance, or to fritter away its time
with lenghty discussions. The removal of
the capital can aff rd to wait. It will come
in its own good time.—Jf. Y. Herald.
Why Emigrants Should Go South.
To the Editor of the Brooklyn Eagle :
Public sentiment at the -South has expe
rienced a change on the subject of diversi
fied labor that is destined to render that sec
tion the most prosperous of any portion of
our country: Formerly^ they preferred to
pay the profits on mannfoctnred products
and transportation, rather than enconrage
the artisan at home. All their energies with
slave labor were directed to the cultivation
of those rich prodnets of cotton, rice and
sugar, for whioh their section enjoys a
monoply.,. Jfyjrn the rtcent speech of Gen.
Wade Hampton, at the Georgia State Fair,
suMveljjusJrom^eTerv^nroresentativeaf
licopinion^we JpereeTrothat tbo’pecple are
alive to th'eir true interests—that of en
couraging not only the cultivation of their
old staple?, but of every other product for
which their soil and climate is peculiarly
adapted. Every portion of the Soath pro-'
duces torn equal to ihe "West, and’ some
sections grow the best wheit in the country.
There- is_ no section so rich in the various
natural advantages as the Sonthern States.
Almost everything that fa grown in the
Northern and Western .States flourishes
there; and, beside their soil and climate^
they are rich in valuable timber—the' hard
pin#, every Variety of’ oak." ash, poplar, cy
press and other woods are abundant. And
along the Allcghaoies, froqa Virginia, to
Alabama," probably the richest section of-
the world,the variety of its minerals, coal,
iron, copper, zine, marble-and lime have
been developed in a rude—slave labor—Way
for many years. Skilled labor, science and
capital are now directing their attention to
this region. Bnt perhaps the greatest ad
vantage the South possesses over every
other section of onr Vr-st country is its im
mense water power, scattered almost every
where throughout the hilly sections of the
interior, surrounded with the raw material
for workipg into manufactured products,
and contiguous by rail and river to the mar
kets of (be world,‘not requiring three bosh-
els -of corn to tone! one bushel to mar
ket. ‘
True there are localities alorg the low
flathrnds of the coast,near swamps and slug
gish water courses that are sickly, but the
whole interior and hilly sections are more
free from local diseases and epidemics than
the West or North". In proportion to the
population more old persons can be found
throughout the South than in any other
section.
We learn that in many of our cities or
ganizations of colonies are being formed
with a view of exploring the Southern
States,and of establishing at suitable locali
ties, the nucleus of" manufacturing towns
and cities. These combinations among aiti-
zans of the different callings is a much more
sensible mode of improvingtheir ^condition
than Trades’ Unions to coerce higher wages.
The contribntions required to support
strikes, if applied to sending delegates to
spy ont the fertile fields and inviting oppor
tunities awaiting their embrace would en
able many a family now stiuggling for ex
istence in the crowded North to become in
dependent ina fe w years in the sunny South-
where now there is no class more welcome
than the manufacturer and the skilled la
borer.

may be poured off. One ye)k will yield
