To the Press of Georgia.
In pursuance to a resolution passed at a
meeting of a number of the representatives
of Georgia newspapers, held in Athens on
tha 20th of May, I take pleasure in in
viting the editors, publishers and propri
eturs of all publications in this State to meet
in Atlanta on \bo 5tb of July. The resolu
tion assigned the 8d of July as the day of
meeting, but as that date falls on Saturday,
I havo, by consent, changed it to the 5tb.
J. H. Estill, Ch’rn.
tv Id publishing the above announcement, the
Atlanta Constitution urges a full attendance of
all the “ press gang" of the State, promisos
to make them all comfortable, and, in addi
tion, tenders the brethren an excursion to Toc-
coa Falls. If they can’t come in person, they
are urged to send their children.
Macon and Brunswick Railroad.
The above named road was offered for sale
according to the previous notice, and started
at 900,000. No other private bid being offer
ed, Gov. Smith bid $1,000,000 on tho part of
tbo State, and it was knocked down at that.
So that the State of Georgia is at present the
owner of that railroad. It is believed it will
command a much higher price.
Awful Calamity.
The burniog of a Catholic church at Holyoke,
Mass., resulted in the death of seventy-five
persons. They wore not all burned to death,
but many wore crushed at the door-way and
others killed by jumping from the upper part
of tbo building. Fire was communicated by
a candlo to some of the decorations of the
church. Nothing like it has occurred in this
country since the burning of the Richmond
heatre.
Hooker on Sherman*-The Northern Heroes
of the War.
“ Fighting Jee" Hooker takes a whack at
Tccumseh Sherman. He says General Thom
as was the great General of the army, but the
real boro of the war was Farragut. Sherman
ho regards as a vain and pretentious humbug,
who bos been rewarded far beyond his merits
or achievements. Gen. Hooker truthfully ob-'
serves that Sherman “ made war like a brig
and, while many other Generals never forgot
that they were making war on their own coun
trymen," and that some day his raid through
Georgia and Carolina will be stamped as a
disgraceful act by the whole civilized world.
Gon. Hooker, in our opinion, has accurately
measured Gen. Sherman. He was a barba
rous soldier, and in attempting to justify his
wanton deeds of cruelty, resorted to the basest
shifts and evasions, if he did not tako refuge
in downright falsehood. It was the United
States navy that made the success of the South
impossible. Had the South stood on an equal
footing in that respect, the issue would have
been different. If the people of the North
really want to worship genuine idols, let them
bow down in adoration to Thomas, the Virgin
ian, and Farragut, the Tennesseean. The
hardest blows and the deadliest wounds in
flicted upon the South came from her own sons
in the ranks of her enemies.—Constitutionalist.
The Colton States Congress*-Will Meet in Ra
leigh, N. C. July 13th, 187 i.
All State and subordinate agricultural soci
eties in the Cotton States are authorized to ap
point delegates. Correspondents from evory
State in tne Union are invited to be present,
and are hereby assured of a cordial welcome.
The representatives from the Cotton States,
' heretofore assembled, were men who think
and toil in the peaceful pursuits of agricul
ture and its kindred industries. The calami
ties common to every seotion of the Cotton
States gave bearing to the Congress, and tbe
continued depression in, and disastrous results
to our farmers, trade and commerce, preserves
its existence. The great object! in view i\
tbe recovery of our national interests from
their depression, no matter from wbat cause
this bos been produced, and to liberate them
from the dependence under which they now
suffer, by honest and persistent efforts, and
by tbo intelligent use of the means we so
abundantly possess.
This session of the Congress will be a
combination of intelligent power, exerted by
men who know bow to devise and to oxecute
such plans as aro best for the common good.
In the spirit of patriotism—an ardent devo
tion to the interests of tbe husbandman: to
domestic ecou^my; to the happiness of our
homes and the hope of returning prosperity;
to our fields, workshops, trades and com
merce—this session of 1875 will convene and
deliberate.
It is fortanato that meeting is to bo ia North
Carolina. Every delegate and correspondent
will bring in spirit a centennial offering, to
lay upon the altar of his country; he will
consecrate himself anew to her service, afid.
with sublime devotion, pledge his life and sa
cred honor to peace and prosperity.

Death of Dr. Wm. E. Dearlng.
It becomes our melancholy duty to record
tbe death of one well known to, and highly
esteemed by our older citizens—Dr. Wm. E.
Deariog, for many years a prominent citizen
of Augusta, but a native, and, for a long period
a citizen of this place, and a brother of our
highly esteemed fellow-citizens, Mr. A. P. and
Maj. A. L. Dearing. The sad event occurred
in Augusta, on Sunday night, tbe 30tb, of
May. We copy the following brief notice of it
from the Chronicle A Sentinel of tbe 31st ult :
Death of Dr. Wm. E. Bearing.—Dr. Wm.
E. Deariug, so well known and highly esteem
ed by tbe citizens of Augusta, died at his res
idence at tbe corner of Broad and Campbell
streets. Sunday night, at 9 o'clock, of paraly
sis, after a long illness. Dr. Dearing hoo
born in Athens, Georgia, on tbe 17th of July,
1820. His father, Wm. Dearing, was the first
President of tbe Georgia Railroad. At tbo
early age of eighteen he married Miss Caro
line E. Stovall, of Athens. In 1845 he gradu
ated at tbe Medical College of Georgia and at
once commenced the practice of medicine in
this city. In 1853 be was elected Mayor of
the city of Augusta and again in 1855. For
bis services during tbo yellow fever epidemic
of 1854 and bis assistance during the great
freshet he was presented with a service of
solid silver. He was Captain ofthe Richmond
Hussars before the war and of the Wheeling
Dragoons daring tbe struggle. He was also
a Mason in liigb standing and tbe fonnder of
the order of tho Sons of Malta. After tbe war
ho was for a long time Superintendent of tbe
Augusta Orphan Asylum. As a physician he
stood high in tho community. Ho was always
] fa«ly to minister to tho poor, free of charge,
1 never asked for a fee when ho thought
parties were restricted in means. A whole-
1 genial gentleman, ho was dr.-,-tv,
■) all classes of pi ople. He leaves
two sons and two daughters.
G. T. Goetchius. of Miik-dge-
mariicd last week to Miss Julia Mc-
um
1876 of what they are pleased to denominate
“ the foolish and impolitic Greeley movement
or 1872."
This is. perhaps, a?, good employment as
they can find iu this hot weather; but, why
they are doing it, will puzzle the brains of the
most astute among us. If there is a man, wo •
man or ohild In Georgia who has declared a
wish to re-enact the Greeley campaign of
1872, we havo not yet heard of it. Nobody
then intended to repeat it. It was intended
originally for that one campaign. Having ac
complished its object as far ns it could,
through the perverseness of those gentlemen
whose Democracy was so pure that they fell
into the support of Radicalism, it was not and
is not intended to repeat it now or hereafter.
So far as we aro concerned, we should nev
er have taken any notice of the “ much ado
about nothing" raised by these gentlemen but
for tbe fact that they have attempted to prove
that tho Greeley movement was both wicked
and foolish. It was neither ; but, on tbe con
trary, paved tbe way for the brilliant victories
achieved since that time and for tbe grand tri
umph which awaits us in 1876, if wise counsels
prevail.
It is quite an easy task to erect a “ man of
straw" and pummel him from day to day, aDd
so long as the disgusted “ straights" attempt
nothing worse, they should be indulged in this
comparatively innocent pastime.
President’s Letter.
This document, addressed to tho President
of tbe lato Republican State Convention of
Pennsylvania, and which will be found in an
other column of our paper, is exciting much
comment by tbe press of both parties.
It will be seen that iu refereuco to a third
term ho says be does not any more desire it
than bo did a first or second term. This
may mean more than appears on the surface,
as do one knows bow ardoutly bo may have
desired tbe first and second terms. Like tbe
letters of some of our Georgia politicians, be
may act like a certain heroine we havo read
of, whom, pretesting “ sho never would con
scut, consented.” If ho becomes satisfied,
before tbo mooting of the Convention, that he
can be nominated, you may bot your bottom
dollar bo will be a candidate. If, on tbe otta-
er baud, bo should be convinced that he can
not get tbe nomination, ho can, with apparent
good grace, claim that ho had declined
nomination.
Iu this connection, wo append extracts from
Now York papers in rofcrouce to tho lato let
ter reforred to abovo:
The Herald says : “ It is an exceedingly
adroit letter, but far from being satisfactory.
There is nothing in it to prevent Grant’s ac
ceptance of the Presidency lor the third toriu.
We shall be surprised if tho country accepts lhi6
as a satisfactory declaration. It is an evasivo
letter. It would have been much better for his
fame, and even for the welfare of the party ho
proposes to serve, if he had not written a
word. Tho country is told that the Presi
dent will not take what is not offered him. The
Herald wants a declaration that will destroy
Cicsarism by limiting all administrations to
ono term, and no re-election over after.
The Times considers that the President's
views aro expressed with groat simplicity and
frankness, and that his declaration will be
deemed satisfactory by the people ; but those
who originally raised tbo cry of the “ third
term" will not be satisfied. They will pick
holes In tbe letter, here and there ; take out
detached sentences, aud twist them iuto signi
fying what they do not properly express
The Times confesses that the letter ought to
be accepted by all just, fair-minded men as
absolutely putting ait end to tbo whole ques
tion ; and tho Republicans should prepare for
the work of 1876 without the reference to even
the possibility of Grant being in the field as
candidate.
The Tribune says : “ Although somewhat
Delphic in its phraseology, tbe President’s
letter will probably bo remarked as fiually
withdrawing Grant’s name from the lists of
candidates for tbe next Presidency. If he
had only said as much some time ago, what
suffering might have been saved tbo Republl
can party !"
The World, in its editorial, says : •* Nobody
can fail to mark tho extreme reluctance with
which the President makes even a protense
of resigning bis chance for re-election. His
letter, which purports to the resignation of
his pretensions, is not so. Iu fact, the saviDg
clause in it enables him to altor these p re ton
sions, whenever he may chaose, which he
means to do whenover he sees tho possibility
of success for them.”
The Sun publishes the letter without com
moot.
Now, as for the third term, I do not want it
any more than I did the first. I would not
write or utter a word to change tbe will of the
people in expressing and having their choice.
Tbe qaostlon of tbe number of terms allowed
to any one Executive can only come up fairly
in tbe abape of a proposition to amend the
Constitution—a shape iu wbicb all political
partios can participate, fixing the length of
time or number of terms for which any one
person shall be eligible for tbe office of Presi ■
dent- Until each an amendment is adopted,
the people cannot be restricted in their choice
by resolution other than they are now re
stricted as to age, nativity, etc. It may hap
pen in tbe future history of tbe country that
to chaage an Executive because he has been
eight years in office will prove unfortunate, if
not disastrous. Tbe idea that any man conld
elect himself President, or even renominate
himself, is preposterous. It is a reflection
upon tbe intelligence and patriotism of tbs
people to suppose such a tbiog to be possible.
Any man can destroy his chances for the office,
but no ono can force an election or even a
nomination. To recapitulate: I am not now,
nor have I ever been, a candidate for a re-
uomination. I would not accept a nomina
tion, if it were tendered, unless it abonld
come under such circumstances as to make it
an imperative duty—
Circumstances not likely to arise. I con
gratolate tbe Convention over wbicb yon pre
sided for tbe harmony with which tbe ticket
was put io tho field, aud which I hope may be
triumphantly elected. With great respect,
your obedient servant, U. S. Grant.

fice-holders.
Executive Mansion,
Washington, D. C., May 29,1875.
Dear Sir—A short time subsequent to the
Presidential election of 1872 tbe press, or
portion of it, hostile to tbe Republican party,
aud particularly so to tbo Administration
started tho cry of" Caesarians" and “ the third
term," calling lustily for me to define my posi
tion on the latter subject. I believed it to be
beneath tbe dignity of the office which I have
been twice called upon to fill to answer such
question before tbo subject should be presen'
ted by competent authority to make a nomi
nation, or by a body of such dignity and au
tbority as not to make a reply.
In fact, I have been surprised that so many
sensible persons in the Republican party
should permit their enemy to force upon them
and their party au issue which cannot add
strength to tbe party no matter bow met. But
a body of tbe dignity and party authority of a
Convention to make nominations for the State
officers of the second State iu tbe Union, hav
ing considered this queatiou, I deem it not
improper that I should now speak. Iu tbe
first place, I never sought tbe office for a sec
ond nor oven for a first nomination. To tbe
first I was called from'a life position—one ere
ated by Congress expressly for me for suppos
ed services rendered to tbe Republic. Tbe po
sition vacated I liked. It would have been
most agreeable to me to have retained it until
such time as Congress might bave consented
to my retirement with tbe raQk and
A portion of tbe emoluments wbicb I
much needed, to a home where tbe balance
of my days might be spent in peace and the
enjoyment of domestic quiet, relieved from the
cares wbieb have oppressed me so constantly
now for fourteen years. But I was made to
believe that tbe public good called me to make
tbe sacrifice. Without seeking tbe office for
tbe second term tbe nomination was tendered
to me by a unanimous vote of tbe delegates of
all tbe States and Territories, selected by tbe
Republicans of each to represent tboir whole
number for the purpose o( making their nomi
nation. I cannot say that I was not pleased
at this and at the overwhelming endorsement
which their action received at tbe election
following. But it must be remembered that
all tbe sacrifices except that of comfort had
been made in accepting the first term. Then,
too, such a fire of personal abase aud slander
bad been kept up for foar years, notwithstan
ding tbe conscientious performance of my du
ties to tbe best of my understanding, tboagb
I admit, in tbo light of subsequent events,
many times subject to fair critioism, that an
tnoto the general welfare of the people. So
far as Georgia is concerned, we have been glad
that her Congressional delegation for the last
few years has mainly been made up of work-
era rather than speakers, and hence has been
able to command the respect of the Federal
sister-hood. We modestly suggest that our
present able delegation would do well to fol
low in their footsteps.”
Let us have no more “ Columbian" oratory.
It drenched tbe land In fraternal- blood and
made our slaves judges, jurors and law ma
kers ! Away with it! Let ns have no more
of it!
..I once knew an industrious boy whose
parents were poor bat honest. He began
life without a cent. He had a wart on his
nose and a sore foot -, bat nothing daunted
he worked with a determination and will,
backed by a perseverance and energy, and
nobly fought his way along, surmounting eve
ry obstacle. Mark the result. Last week I
met him for the first time ia ten years, and
that little boy who began life only ten short
years ago without a cent hasn't got a darned
cent yet.

Stock Law.
Mr. Editor : Ask your readers not to turn
with disgust from this communication on ac
count of its caption, but seriously to consider
the suggestions contained io it. I do not pro
pose to argue the goooral question that was
so ably done in your paper by Gen. Wm. M.
Browne lost year, that those who were not con
vinced by bis reasoning, would not be pereua
(led though one rose from tbe dead.
But as the voters bave determined that the
farmers shall keep up their fences to protect
their crops from tbe inroads of tboir neighbors
stock, would it be asking too much of tho said
voters to agree upon some plan which may
lessen the cost of this most expensive and la
borious item iu our farming operations.
Now I wish to propose to our Clarke Coun
ty citizens tbe great advantage that would ac
crue to our farmers from agreeing to require
every ono tokeep in bis own enclosure bis bogs.
I think the main objection to doing away with
fences was tbe trouble and inconvenience of
keeping tho cattle inclosed, and to many it
would bave proved troublesome and expensive.
But tbe same reason does not apply to tbs
case of tbe hogs with a tenth part of tbe force
Because, one old field which affords some sedge
grass iu tbe summer months for cattle grazing
offer nothing to subsist a bog even by rootiog
supposing him to bave strength to root, aud
if be is uot fed, or raids upon some field or
garden perishes.
Tbe matter, however, which I wish our peo
ple to consider is this: A very poor fence will
keep out cattle. Allow tbe bushes and briars
to grow in tbe fence corners, and in a short
time you will bave a natural hedge which will
turn cattle where $be rails are rotten; but
such a fence and hedge is very attractive to a
bog. Ho seeks just such shad; places to fiud
worms, aud doing so, breaks a rotten rail or
two without designing it, aud finds an inviting
opening to tbe field of corn or wheat, and is
not slow to avail bimself of tbe cbanco afford
ed him to make explorations in pastures green,
and wbo blames him f And after having de
strayed five times as much as he is worth having
bis ear torn by dogs and bis leg or back broken
by tbe owner of tbe field, is thrown over tbe
fence to die, or if bo survives, to scramble back
into tbe Qeld to undergo a repetition of tbe
treatment. Or if bo should escape all these
misfortunes and makes out to live till he is
eighteen months or two years old bo is put up
iu a pen to fatten for pork, and before he
fatted will consume three times os much corn
as be is worth after he is made fat.
Tbe truth is, that we cannot afford to feed
such bogs as are common iu our country on
corn worth a dollar a bushel. 1 don't know
wbat might be done with tbe improved breeds,
such as tbe Chester, Essex, Ac., by keeping
them fat from tbe time they are bora tHl they
are slaughtered. But I am of tbe opinion that
they would consume more dollar corn than
they aro worth.
The Editors of newspapers are taking upon
themselves to tell the farmers what they ought
to do, prating about things of which they know
nothing, (present company, you know, Col
always excepted,) jeering them for having their
“ smoke-houses in Kentucky, Ac.” I believe
it would be hotter for our part of the State
there was not a hog in It! I mean of such
miserable brutes as we bave. We have to
look carefully after aud keep iD good repair
mile of fence for every ten bogs. The labor
required for doing it is worth more than ten
times such bogs. A Kentucky -drover told
me many years since, that they could not af
ford to gather corn to feed bogs, but turned
them into the field to help themselves, and
were driven from the field to market.
Tho troth is, Mr. Editor, that our lands are
exhausted and experience has proved that we
cannot afford to fertilize them to raise corn,
it will not pay, even at a dollar a bushel, and
without fertilizing, they don't pay for tbe cul
tivation. I speak of oar uplands on the creek
and branch bottoms, we can advantageously
plant corn, bnt wbat a small portion of it is
batttom land, unless we look upon them
as our friend and neighbor, W. B. does, that
they are all bottom the top having been wash
ed off loog since.
Now, tbe object of all this rambling talk is
to ask our people to consider the advantage of
requiring all wbo will attempt to raise bogs,
to keep them from tbe fields ot those wbo do
not.
We have daily, almost hourly experience in
our town of tbe wisdom of our Couoeil in keep
ing tbe filthy brutes out of oar streets. Tbe
bottom plank of a garden paling may be off
for a week, and no injury result. But when
tbe hogs were allowed the freedom of tbe eity
we heard daily complaints of depredations of
hogs on tbe gardens. But I have said more
than I intended. I think tbe Grangers might
take this matter in band with prospect of sue
ccss. Will you not suggest it, Mr. Editor, to
that respectable association t
Proclamation.

We congratulate the able officers of tbe Com
pany upon the above favorable showing—de
monstrating that its affairs bave been managed
with great prudence.
It is undeniable that the affairs of tbs Com
pany have been managed with consummate
ability, but at tbe same time something is due
to tbe fact that risks at the South are much
less than where population is crowded. Our
towns, like the country, are thinly settled, aud
we never bave such destructive conflagrations
as are frequent at the North and West.
The dividend of fifty per cent, declared
this year, reduces tbe rate of insurance one-
half—so that those wbo want cheap and safe
insurance will seek it wiib tbe Sonthern Mu
tual. But that Company bas reached a point
where it does uot fiud it necessary to solicit
business. It bas more risks offered than it is
willing to take.
