This is the object. Too much valuable service .has been render ed lo go unreurardrd ! And here is 3 line opening for.the-ereation of numbers of $2,000 salai ies.

Be sides a very general assortment of all articles properly, belonging to this de partment of business, they have an al most endless variety of “ notions’' per taining to housekeeping—all sorts -of willow-ware,.

Our lady readers in town and country would tlo well to give them a call, as wd feet satisfied they will find many a thing they want— and all so nice amt cheap, too. PROSCRIPTION. One the of the main objections urged against the American party by the so- called Democratic party of Georgia, is its alleged proscription—although those who urge it know there is not one word of truth in it. One would think that if there is a single scintilla of honesty in the composition of this mongrel con- cern _ CO inpoe*d as it is of ail that was mean and despicable in all the old^rar-. ties and factions of the State—that whatever other shortcomings it might be guilty of, it would, at all events, avoid even the appearati e of proscrip tion. But no sooner is it ascertained that Johnson is re-elected—and what a burning shame to Georgia that $Uch a man, professing such doctrines, shpuld be her Governor—-no sooner is it ascer tained that he is elected, than the guillo tine is put in operation, and every man who voted agaiust him, from the least even unto the greatest',” is made • walk th^pkink.”!! "Let the people of Georgia—and more especially those who -«re so violently opposed to -proscription as to -condemn the American party for the merest possible squinting in that direction-*— read the fallowing from the Atlanta Discipline, and then let Uwcn gay who is proscriptive, the Americans pr the the An ties. The tatter charge that the former are proscriptive-of foreigners and position Which nature designed the humblest honest heart should occupy-. It is a shame that an enterprise*, winch if properly managed, would bestow honor upon the State,, should.um ic an instrument of corruption and oppres sion. It AS humili iting to see the party power using the property of all 'he tax payers iu the State, to carry out its own ba c and,indignant pu^pos s, regardless of tire interests of the State. H the Road remains the property of the State two i ears' longer,' the cloven foot must shoiv itself—such corruption cannot exist without detriment, to the Proprietor. ■We make tuhv an open defctaration of war against the present mode of manag ing the Rond, and demur to the Demo cratic y>ar£y claiming iy as their exclusive property, which they- ore now doing openly and above board. * s THEY DENY IT. It h iving been charged that Seward, of New York, the Abolition agitator, and Horace firtteley, Abolition editOI\of the Tribune, were members of the American party, they both indignantly deny the imputation, as will be seqp hy their answers below, written in response ‘to letters of inquiry from a gentleman in Alabama, as will also be seen. We always knew the charge to be a base, calumny. Such Abolition fana? tics and traitors as Seward and Greeley are as bitterly opposed to the American party as is Its bitterest enemy in Georgia. Its. atmosphere is too pure for such traitorous fanatics to breathe Catholics—whilst it is set’ied beyond If you whew tbete are no great principles in- Ivolvod, under the name, yon are wrong. We wgre shown the other day by Mr. Phillip Shackelford, a car of corn which in number of grains surpasses any we have seen lately : containing 32 rows and averages 38 grains to foe row.

If-nothing unexpected happens, [ I sliall be in your city on Saturday, the But it is not our intention, at this time, togiVe this subject more than a passing notice; and we will therefore, commit ourselves, just now, by adding to the nb-)ve. that it is the sheerest hbn- seme, in these days, to attempt discon necting anything of this character from politics. A State hospital, if we had such a thing, would be a political ma chine. And this change proposed is but an effort of politicians to add to the number of fat offices within \he gift of .*1 all cavil that they themselves proscribe native-born Georgians for tr free and manly exercise oftjie right of suffrage 111 Let. the people—lo all of whom the State Road belongs, observe the manner in. which tbi* party, so jealous of the interest of foreignfers, proscribes native freemen and converts’ibis great State work into an engine of oppression—a mere party machine—for ihe advance ment of the interests of the leaders of lhe Foreign party. Wc have long thought, and are now tlioroaghly satisfied that tbe Western and Atlantic Railroad ought to be sol'd. We will now go still further. Ifthe State cannot sell it, let it.he given away, hi Heaven’s name, let it be disposed of in some manner. If offered for safe, it would bring a handsome sum of money, which if appropriated to the cause of common schools, would fit and prepare the rising generation for usefulness and prevent them from becoming the dupes of demagogues, .towards which end those now on the stage of action ekhibit an ■qnrnistakeable proclivity. We' f»u*e no hope that a Legislature composed of such material as dm - hubs -of the one - just elected, will ever do auy thing for the cause of education—-ae they know full well that when the masses of the people become thoroughly* eqjightened then truly “ Othello's occupation's gone-”—they themselves/and such as they, could never get back to tbe IwlU of legislation. Like their friends ajid sympathisers, the "Cathohc priests;"they know that their only hope of success it founded in the ignorance of the pea- people—and hence they wiB always oppose a general diffusion of light among the masses. ' : Btr St. Patrick, “ How Be Nicks ’cm.'*—If the people all over the'State of Georgia could witness what we are now witnessing in the city of Atlanta, one unfed s^out of indignation would go up against *Gov.. Johnson, front the seaboard lo the mountains. -Every man employed on the State Road, no matter h^v meni&l hfs sUtiop or how foiihful bis service, who cid hot vote fot'Gov.

Men with large families who have been in the employ of the Road for years,, and whose ser vice was considered^ valuable by former, administrations, have been tamed loose in our community with but little hope of'getting other, employment hefe, dijd without means to go elsewhere tn seek it.

The palmiest days of Hfe Inquisition, coaid not exceed this dis gusting scene.
