Here, that this very venerable journal is the
accredited worms-men of the uucoMPSoms-
iwo Radical Democracy in Georgia. We are
glad to know that the Intelligencer has taken
a positive poaish, for, in the language of Josh
Billings, “about the meanest kritter thar iz

We were painfully snrprisefl to find the fol
lowing paragraph in the Intelligencer of yes
terday morning :
We do not know a more infamous, lying and
contemptible sheet than the Constitution, in
Georgia. It has no fixed purpose more than
to misiepresent and to deceive an honest and
upright community.
Wo profoundly deprecate the use of epithets
and language calculated to depreciate the dig
nity and purity of tbe public press; and it is
all the more deplorable when it comes from
on aged journal like tho Intelligencer, one
that for so many years has boasted of its dig.
nity end elevated character Our venerable
cotemporary ought to lead off with
a hotter example lor if« younger broth
er, and be a living testimony unto it
that the “ freedom of the press” does not
brace a license to abuse and viliify i
temporary, nor to crucify tho character of the
pre^s upon the ultar of personal feeling. Invec
tive is not argument, and it is nover genteel
nor useful. Wherever personal ill will exists, it
should find utterauce, if at all, outside the
public journals. Newspapers are educators
of the masse* and society demands that the
people be educated to nothing that is not
in the strictest accordance with perfect
gentility. We hope tbe Intelligenoer will par.
don this brief lecture, and not attribute it to a
presumptuous desire to intermeddle with the
affairs of otbe**. We invariably attend to our
own business, and it is necessary that venera
ble, as well as little, children do not teAxoaoh
other’s eyes. " Let doga delight to b*rk and
bite.” Tbe Democratic editors, who monopo
lize all the "respectability,” should seta more
beautiful example for the direction of the pub
lic mind. "Let us have peace."

noj Is strongest, end, consequently, where

Large numbers, we are told, are emigrating to
the Southwest—to Texas and Arkansas.
Nov, the idea of a man leaving Georgia to
hotter Ms politioal, social and financial snndi-
tkm. by seeking a home in Texas or Arkansas,
is a oapllal joke. It is well calculated to provoke
merriment at the expense of that man's Judg
ment who eerioualy entertains snob a pur
pose. We ton readily understand why
North and South Carolinians »«*>k homes in
Georgia; why Alabamians and Floridians
should exchange their domicils for new ones
in the Empire 8tate of the South ; but we ere
seriously inclined to question that nun's
sanity who would long entertain a purpose to
exchange Georgia for Texas, mu oh less
Arkansas I There is only e narrow strip of
Tessa, along and east ot th* Brssoe river,
where th* seasons are at all reliable, and con
sequently where sgrioolture is at all profita
ble ; and we supposed it was well known to
moet intelligent men that, in that favored
section, people have chill and ague about
nine months of the year! Why, a dis
tinguished Texas planter once gravely noser-
led that, in his section (in the Brazos
valley), mu^turtloe and bares were un
wholesome food, so thoroughly bad the
poisonous malaria impregnated all liviog
things! Nothing bnt green beaded boll-
frogs and mosquitoes (“gnllitrippers”)
seemed proof against chills! It might in
deed be a good place for a quinine dealer, but
not for on agriculturiot.
Speaking of Arkansas, colls to mind tbe
Impressions of a friend who traveled exten
sively through tho State, ou horse-back, in
th* fall and winter of 1855. Determined to
see tbe country for himsolf, he purchased
a horse at Napoleon, on the Mississippi, and
proceeded thence to Fort Smith, on the North
western boundry line. The State was then,
as now, sparsely populated. Hotels were wholly
Unknown out of tho rivor ports and more im
portant towns; and he relied upon tho farmers
and country settlers for food and lodging.
‘•Those who were able to keep travelers,” said
he, "could not make room for me and the
doctor too; and os the lost named personage
seemed a sort of necessary household fix to re,
both as physician and nurse, when perhaps
every member of the family was chilling at
one and tbe samo time, 1 often found it diffi
call to get lodging or a meal's victuals in tbe
most well to-do section of the Slate.” "And,
out in the Knobs,” continued our friend,
"where the people had health, they seem to
have nothing else—except children!”
Seriously, it is not assuming too much to
any that, of all tho Southern States, tbe future
of Georgia is most encouraging, *nd that she
presents decided advantages over tho Southern
States. Her material reconstruction ho* been
more rapid than any of the others She has
projected aud set on foot more successful rail
road enterprises, since tbe war, than any
three Southern States pat together. Indeed,
in this particular, she ranks second only to
the most wealthy and progressive States of the
Union, a* wc showed conclusively a lew weeks
since. There is a greater agricultural interest
being manifested in Georgia to-day than in
any State south of the Potomac. And her com
merce is conceded to be far ahead of any
State of tbe late Confederacy. Her cities have
grown moro rapidly than those of any State
south of the Ohio. And yet, with all these
evidences of material prosperity, lands are still
abandant and cheap. This will uot be so
always. The evidenoes of a rapid demand
foT lands and their speedily enhanced value
are too plain to be missnnderatood; and
the men who sell out and go olsewhere
will learn their fatal mistake, perhaps when
it is too late. Now is the time of all others
when industrious poor men should seek
to become masters of a few acres ia this
great and growing commonwealth. Tenor
twelve years hence land will be an object;
and if iodastrious and frugal young men want
homes, Georgia is tho piece to find them, and
now is the time to buy them. It is such an
opportunity os will probably never occur again
ia ibis country.
Letter from Mr. Markham.

THE ADVANTAGES of these gpectooles otvt oU
others srs:
1. They cm» he wsru with perfect cues
for any length of time at one sitting, giving astonish
ing clearness of vision, by candle or any other artifi
cial light, comfort to tbe spooled*.wearer hitherto on-
known.
2. Ilow te select Glasses. It requires
professional guidance even when a good article Is of
fered. Dr. Bernhardt not only has the best Glasses
that can be found iu the market, but carefully exam
ines the syes, and gives indispensable advice as to the
proper selection of them.
3. WhtR the eyre uche or palm through
the action of a bright light, such as is reflected from
the snow, snnny weather, white paper, and in reading,
writing or Mowing, or vivid colored bodies; these
lenses, by softening the rays, effect a most agreeable
sensation and give great relief.
4. These Spectacles are scientifically ad.
Justed to every cose of defective night with unerring
accuracy, whether arising from age, strain, over work,
or premature deosy, by Morris Bernhardt
and exact principle, ontirely hie own, which has seldom
flailed to be correct
5. After several years of public practice,
adjusting spectacles to patients under every aspect of
defective vision, as well as experience lit an extensive,
long-established business in his Optical Stores, both
hers end in Europe, M. Bernhardt oonsidera it a suffi
cient guarantee of his ability to supply snob glasses as
are beet calculated for the assistance of imperfect
sight.

from the host of pretenders in his profession, with
pride submits for inspection, copies of testimonials ho
has received from medical gentlemen of the moet H
questionable respectability and talent Iu Amsrioa;
also, a number of certifies te* from well known gentle
men of distinction who have used his spectacle*—tbe
originals of all which hs will be happy to show to
thoee who may request It The use of any of the fob
