Imperial "Wine
A RE made from a pure and unadulterated Wine,
which U about double the usual strength of other
es, and vs imported by only one house in the United
States. Also,from the following valuable Roots, Herbs,
dtc , viz: Solomon's Seal, Spike nard, Comfrey, C»mo-.
anile Flowers, Gentian, Wild Cherry Tree Bark, i
Bayberry.
WE CHALLENGE
THE WORLD
TO ?*aODUCE
THEIR E QU A I!!
We do not profess to have discovered some Roots
'"known only to the Indians of South America,” and a
•cure for" all diseases which the flesh is heir to,” but we
•claim to present to the public a truly valuable preparation,
which every intelligent Physician in the country will ap
prove of and recommend.
Aa a’cemedy for
INCIPIENT CONSUMPTION,
Weak Lungs, Indigestion, Dyspepsia, Disease of the Ner-
votn System. Paralysis, Piles, Diseases peculiar to Females,
Debility,and all cases requiring a Tonic, they are
UNSURPASSED!
For Sore Throat, so common among the Clergy, they
are truly valuable.
For the aged and infirm, or for persons of a weak con-
stitutiou_—for Ministers of the Gospel, Lawyers, and all
pjblic speakers—for Book-Keepers, Tailors, Seamstresses.
Students, Artists, and all persona leading a sedentary life,
they will prove truly beneficial. •
Asa Beverage, they are wholesome, innocent, nnd de
licious to th? taste. They produce all the exhiliarating
oHVts of Brandy or Wine, without intoxicating ; and are
a vain iMg r; n' \jparsons addicted to excessive u*e of
strong driiik.au I wish to refrain from it. They are pure
an I entirely free from tho poisons contained i i the adulte
rate I Wine* and Linnors with which the country is flooded.
These Bitters not only CURB, but PREVENT Dis-
ease, and sh ml 1 beu«ed by all who live in a country
where th-water is bad, or where Chills and Fevers are
prevalent Biing entirely innocent anJ harmless, they
iiwy b.» given t > Chi] Iren and Inflate with impunity.
PnydeiaOs CVrgynmn, and tom;ieranee advocates, ns
an net of h i n nitv, should assist in spreading these truly
valu ible BIT ffiRS over the land, and thereby essentially
aid in bmi-hing Drunkenness and Disease.

No, Ne’er Can thy Home be Mine.
I have told you how sweet the roses are,
In my home beyond the sea;
Where the dark-eyed maid with a sweet guitar,
Sits under the orange tree.
Then fly, oh Ay from this isle of storm,
Where all that is fair must pine;
To a sky more blue-and a sun more warm,
Henceforth let my home be thine.
I have heard thee tell of n sky more blue,
And a sun more warm thnu this—
And I’ve sometimes thought if thy tale be true,
To dwell in that clime were bliss;
But oh! when I gaze on my tranquil cot,
. Where the clematis bow and twine.
The land of & stranger tempts me not,
No, ne’er can thy home be mine.
I will sing to thee if with me thoul*t roam,
The songs of the olden time;
Thou will never compare with my ardent love,
The love of that colder clime;
Tlioul’t scorn the fruits of my mountain home,
Beholding the purple vine ;
Then come to the land of my birth, ob come,
Henceforth let my home be thine.
Alas it is plain that my mountain home,
Must e’er be scored by thee ;
And may I not fear that a time will come,
When thou will have scorn for me.
But, oh! there is one who loves me here,
Whose voice, if less sweet than thine,
To my simple taste is far more dear.
No! ne'er can thy home be mine.

Farewell to Yankee Doodle.
Yankee Doodle, fare you well,
Rice and eotton flout you;
Once they liked you very well.
But now they’ll do without you.
Yankee Doodle used to treat
Old Pompcy ns a neighbor;
He did'nt grab bis bread aud meat,
Nor cavil nt his labor.
But Doodlq,now has got so keen,
For every dirty shilling;
Propose a job, however mean.
And Yankee Doodle’s willing.
Doodle, too, has had the luck
To get a new religion;
A kind of holy zeal to pluck
At every body’s pigeon.
Doodle’s morbid conscience strains,
With Puritanic vigor.
To loose the only friendly chains
Tha^ ever bound a nigger.
Yet. Doodle knows as well ns I,
That when he’s come and freed ’em,
He'd see a million niggers die,
Before he’d help to teed ’em.
Yankee Doodle sent us down
A gallant, missionary;
His name was Captain Johnny Brown
Tho Priest of Harper’s Ferry.
With pieces he tried to magnify
The gospel creed of Beecher,
But Old Virginia lifted high
This military preacher.
Yet, glory to his name is sung,.
As if with sin untainted ;
The bloody wretch by justice hung.
By bigotry is sainted.
Yankee Doodle, now good by.
We spurn a thing so rotten.
Proud independence is the cry,
Of sugar, rice aud cot low.

Tlie DriKfi’s Patent Piano
IS THE
BEST IN Jffi WORLD.
S. B. DRIGGS, OF NEW YORK,
IS THE INVERTER & PATENTEE'
H E has done more to perfect the l’iano than nl
others. They are made as much as possible,
like the Violin, having two sounding boards, one nt
top, the other at bottom, convexing outwards a thin
case with oval ends, nil free from tlie strain of the
strings, which comcson an iron frame and bed plate.
By this arrangement a large chamber for .sound is
formed, nnd a tone produced never before heard in
a Piano : the base deep and Organ-like, the treble
clear and bell-like. These Pianos will remain in
tune much longer than any others, from the fact
that they are not affected by damp and dry weather,
for the strain of the strings is entirely on iron. Be
to depend on Manufacturers of other Pianos,
their Agents, Dealers, or Teachers of music com
mitted to them, when they speak against the Driggs
i, for they are sure t* run them down, as they
know that they will supercede all others wherever
they become known, as sure as the sun shines.—
Inquire of those who have bought and tried them.
The^ollowing gentlemen have purchased Drigg's
Pianos: Prof. 1. if. Branham, P. G. Guttenbergcr,
Professor of music in the W. F. College; Professor
Williams, of the Academy for the blind, Mr. J. II.
R. Washington, of the State Bank, Mr. G. W. Ross,
all of Macon, Ga. Also, Dr. Billings, of Columbns,
Dr. Mathews, of Fort Valley, Col. J. L. Rowland,
of Carteraville, Hon. Mark A. Cooper, of Etowah,
Mrs. E. A. Edwards, Albany, Ga., and a number of
others, fifteen in nil.
Any one purchasing a Driggs Piano, can have
the money refunded, if after a year’s trial, it does
not prove a better Piano than those of any other
make ever sold in Georgia. All communications on
the subject, should be directed to O. B. Rice,
ffYacon, Ga., sole Agent for Georgia. He re
fers to the above named gentlemen, or any respon
sible citizen of Macon, as to his ability or willing
ness to fulfill all his contracts.
Bgk, He has been tuning and repairing Pianos
for twenty-three years, and claims to understand
the Instrument thoroughly.

Stray Thoughts Penned.
Tiling* worth having—A still tongue in a back-
biting company.
The right spirit—To be abused and not lose your
temper.
Birds of passage—Gossipping women.
Cold looks—Going into a neighbor’s house when
you arc not wanted.
A warm reception—Being embraced by a man who
has fire-arms.
Rather too bad—Telling a lady who trails her
dress on the street that she is taking an extrava
gant way of grinding it shorter. 1
Telling a drunkard that the rattle of his tongue
in the company of ladies is like Christy’s “Bones”
playing in a flower garden.
Hard service—Living at a boarding honso where
you have only hard crusts to bolt aud bones to pick
at meal times.
Civil service—Living at a boarding Uou.se where
the lady thereof is not always grumbling at the ap
petite of her boarders.
A dry truth—Tho “cup ot sorrow” contains
worse draught than a pint of ale.
Blessings—A wife who’s a stranger to tea parties
and dry good stores.
Children who do not bring you trouble.
To go to bed in good health and get up the
To cross Broadway without being knocked down
by a stage and lifted up by a policeman.
Love Toasts—May cross-roads in lover's walks
never lead to cross words in their conversation.
May cupboard couriers always find strong locks
and empty shelves.
May money-seeking couriers hear the sound of a
scolding tongue oftener than *be ring of half eagles.
Freaks of nature—An old maid with orange blos-
ms in her hair and a young miss of ten with
engagement ring on her finger.
A ploifetary discovery—The dog star is found to
be of the Isle of Skyo breed.
Dead weights—A wild son in a pious family.
A wife who is fonder of tho bottle than the teapot.
Sunday—With some people.
Accommodation bills to a store keeper.
Wives’ eyelids, who have to sit up at night for
their truant husbands.
Not worth having—The gift of gab.
A puzzle for Rarey—Taming the nightmare.
Bad tempered iron—A nail that turns again when
it’s struck.
A real wide-awake—The eye of the law.
Conri Mourning—A belle looking black At her
beau because he smiles at another belle. <;
Mental deformity—A crooked temper.
Bodily deformity—Setting up one’s bacl
ing, and being always bent on mischief.
Blush—A color that onght to come in some peo
ple’s faces much oftener than it does.
Evergreen—People who are fond of flattery and
cannot see when they ate laughed at.
Indians may he considered the “oopperfaced”
type of mankind.
The lady who fell back on her dignify came very
near breaking It.
Common sense is only a modification of taUnt
genius is an exaltation of it.
Much to be done.
The Republic of Georgia must either open its
ports tq.free trade, or adopt a system of revenue
from imports, leaving the other tax schedule to re
main as at present, until experience or necessity
shall dictate a change.
In regard to postal exigencies provision has also
to be made. Thus far we have heard of no interrup
tion in our sister Republic of South Carolina. The
mail contracts wiU continue under'* a guaranty of
payment, and postage will be paid to the Republic,
as we presume will be the ease in Georgia. It will
be incompatable with the new orders of things for
a foreign government to control our post offices,
are glad to see, however, a comity of feeling
fested in this matter, and that our mail facilities
will not be cut off, as probably they might be if the
Department were to notify contractors and post
masters that the Federal Government had discon
tinued their service, and would no [anger be respon
sible for their compensation. Tu; due lime, howev
er, we shall have a Postmaster General and deputies
of our own. and let out the mails to competition,
under such rales as may be found expedient and ap
plicable.
The Courts and the whole civil administration of
the Republic will continue as heretofore, except
to the Oath of allegiance from all commissioned offi
cers, and others who have been required to support
the Constitution of the United States. We presume
that legally and in good conscience, there has al
ready been a release from this obligation, operated
by the withdrawal of Ocorgia and all her citizens,
(not omitting her worn officers,) from the Union.
Business proper for the Convention will unfold it
self in the course of its proceedings, and we take it
for granted that whenever a vacuum may be produc
ed, or a gap occur, by the new condition of things,
it will be duly supplied to maintain the order of so
ciety, and the supreme authority of the laws. To
this extent the people have a right to look to the
Convention, and we presume they will not look in
vain, as we venture to say that Discomposed of men
who, for intelligence, patriotism nnd weight of char
acter, have not been surpassed by any deliberative
body that ever assembled in Georgia.—Sav. Rep.
Pennsylvania Speaks.
The following resolution was adopted in the House
of Represetalives of the Pennsylvania Legislature on
Saturday, by a vote of 50 to 26. Read it:
Rcsclced, That we affirm the doctrines of the Chi
cago Platform as expressing the sentiments of a
large majority of the people of Pennsylvania, and
that we have no reason to ignore it. We do not
believe that anything in onr political condition de
mands concessions on onr part.
Immediately after the adoption of the foregoing
>esolution, another was offered by Mr. Bowyer, of
Berks, for the appointment of a select committee to
report a bill to repeal portions of laws of Pennsylva
nia nullifying the fugitive slave law of Cougress.—
This resolution was indefinitely postponed, by yeas
49, nays 26! Thus answers Pennsylvania to the
petition 456 feel long for the repeal of these aets!
Will they not all answer in like manner?

Minority Report of tho Committee on * Re
ducing the Legislature.
The undersigned from the committee to n-dnee
the number of members of the General Assembly,
beg leave to dissent from the report, of the majority
of the committee, to present ouv reasons therefor,
and to present our plan for said reduction in'Den
thereof. In the first place we do not believe this
Convention is clothed with the power to. make .-aid
reduction; but being mindful of the necessity ot
such reduction, wo think that if the plan adopted
by this Convention is submitted to the people, and
by them ratified, it will cure any want of power.—
In the second place, no plan should be adopted by
this Convention which would not likely meet the.
approbation of the people; and we do not believe
tlie people of this State would be content with any
plan which did not secure to each county at least
one representative, and A represenLmtion fojhe Se
nate, exceeding in number that of a mere exeeulice,
or municipal cou ncil. Therefore wo'recommend in
stead of the ordinance reported by the majority, that
this Convention instruct the committee to prepare
and report an amendment to the Con-titution, to the
effect that the first twenty counties having the larg
est representative population according to the feder
al basis, be entitled to two representqjives, and all
other counties to one each, ami that the Senate con
sist of eight members from each Congressional Dis
trict, as now or hereafter to br. organized—the quali
fications of Senators and Representatives to Ite tlie
same as the Constitution now prescribes—except
that*a Senator shall reside one year, in some one
county of the district from which he is elected;—
the whole not to take effect until ratified by the peo
ple. And we would also suggest that as the Con-*
gress to assemble at Montgomery may have the
rower to abolish the district system, or to change
he apportionment, this whole subject had better be
postponed, until the reassembling of this Conven
tion. CHARLES E. MALLARY.

Wasiiikgton, February 1.—Neither the Govern
ment ncr any body qlse nas yet received one word
from Pensacola, yet all are momentarily expecting
to hear something from that quarter.
Secretary Holt has informed the Alabama and
Georgia Senators that no more troops will be ordered
to Fort Sumter unless Major Anderson demands it,
which is considered improbable.
It is reliably understood that the border Stato
Commissioners, who meet in Convention on Mon
day, will demand the removal or all troops from this
city, aud even demand the removal of the Federal
troops from the forts in the Southern seceded States.
They will urge that this course is both politic and
necessary to prevent bloodshed and civil war.
A bill was introduced in the Senate to-day ap
propriating Si ,000,000 for the construction of seven
sloops-of-war, of steam power.
Col. Hayne has as vet received no reply from the
President to the ultimatum of South Carolina.—
There are those, however, who assert that the’Pre-
sident is disposed to yield to the demand for the dis
posal of the forts for a consideration; but it is ira?
possible to state positively the views of Mr. Buchan
an. Col. Hayne himself anticipates a refusal of tbq
entire demand. In that event, he will probably leave
for borne by Sunday.
Motto of the Southern Confederacy.—Some
discussion has arisen in reference to the motto pro
posed by Professor Tucker for the flag of the South
ern Confederacy. Objection has been made to it
that it makes the ‘Phoenix’ of the neuter gender, and
the objection is answered tliat the ‘Phmnix* was of
»gender—a sort of ornithological eunuch, or ca
nt, in fact.
The discussion lias originated in our learned
friends having mistaken lucidius for the neuter com
parative of the adjective, while it is the comparative
of the adverb "Ivckk”—brightly. The translation
of surgo lucidius U•“ I rise more brightly”—not “I
rise brighter.”

. Not That Kihd of a Cat.—A gentleman tJoinj
business on Main street, was presented with h beau
tiful kitten. Yesterday a couple of young ladies,
one of them named Julia, happened in the store,and
of course kitty as kittens and babies always do, came
in for an immense quantity of endearments and ca
resses.
“Oh my! what a sweet, darling little kitty !-*
What is its name ?”
“It has not been christened yet.”
u Oh the dear little thing. Do call it Jnlia, won't
you ?”
••I should bo very happy to do so,” said our gal
lant friend, “but it ain’t that kind of a cat!”
Kitty was deposited on the floor in a twinkling;
and a couple of young ladies were seen looking for
& good place to faint.
Onicnc of Camp Meetings.—The New York
Evangelist says; “The first camp meeting held in
America was in Kentucky. Two preachers—one
a Presbyterian, the other a Methodist—met in a til
lage, on the Sabbath, where there was but one
church. The Presbyterian officiated in the fore
noon, and the Methodist in the afternoon. The in
terest upon the subject was so great that they con
tinued the meetings for a day or rwo at the house.
The attendance soon became so large that they ad
journed to the woo&, and continned the Dieting for
a week. And this Is the origin of the modern camp
meeting.”
