E. Franklarnl, Superin tendent. for a complimentary ticket to tha Sunday School Entertainment this (Wednesday) evening, at the Methodist Church. at Ju:»t as we Expected.---Clews is Work. «£>ome of the people o 1 Brunswick have had a meeting and passed reso lutions in favor of paying Clews the bonds of the Albany & Brunswick Railroad, or condition that Clews now builds tho road accorJiug to contract. It seems to us there are several se rious objections to this plan: First the State aid granted to this road first and last, we have been informed, was nearly double the amount necessary to build the road outright. But the prin ciple upon which aid to other roads has been given was to help those who were willing to help themselves, and not grant any aid until the stockhold ers had shown their faith in the value of the stock by building a portion of the road themselves. On other roads the stockholders only asked help from the htate. on this they asked that the State do all the work and more too. Is it believed or pretended tc be believed by any one, that the road when finished would sell for one half the amount’ of the bonds? If not why then hire Clews to finish the road at a price double the worth of the property when it is finished? Some may sav the honor and faith of the State is involved. We do not think so. The honor of Bullock and Kimball may be involved but not the honor of the people of Georgia. The people of Georgia were not a party in that baigtin. There lias been a bad odor about the charter of the Brunswick & Albany Railroad all of the time.— It was carried through the Legisla ture by Bullock at the point of the bayonet. We were told that he com pelled members to vote for it by threatening to veto their favorite meas ures if they refused. Some of the men promincfit in the movement were auspicious characters, and the privi ledges granted were so extravagant that it was always believed that Bul lock and Kimball intended to use the bonds for their own benefit. But af ter they had a charter so favorable to the stock-holders, they would not wait for the bonds to be issued ac cording to law, but used them before the work was done and when they were issued contrary to law. We are good friends of the people of Bruns wick and wish well to their city, but we believe this charter of tho Albany and Brunswick Railroad has been a wicked and corrupt thing, and from the beginning. If the road was built to Cuthbert we do not believe it would benefit tl e people of Brunswick much, and we believe it would be unjust to the people of Georgia to pay the bonds. But this movement shows that the agents cf Clews are at work and nothing but a prohibatory clause in the constitution will ultimately prevent them from getting some Leg islature to vote for paying them. We doB't believe the prosperity of South West Georgia, or oven Brunswick de pends upon Henry Clews or the Al bany and Brunswick Railroad. But we believe the prosperity of the whole State depends lor several years upon the repudiation of Bullock’s fraudulent bonds. We do not blame the people of Brunswick for this movement, for we suppose they think the prosperity of their city is involved in the payment of these bonds, but we do not. If it is very important to have the Railroad finished to Cuthbert, let the State finish the road rather than assume the payment of Bullock’s fradulent bonds. Circulating Library. Dropping in at a book store in Al bany, Ga., wo found on one side of tho store a good collection of books, forming a circulating library, having the regulations given below It speaks well for the taste and intelligence of Albany that it sustains such a library. In some portions of the country at least eight out of ten of the towns and villages have them. What enter prising merchant wiil get up one for Milledgeville? We found a very re spectable library of the kind in a fruit and candy store in a distant State. Some good man carefully selecting bis books so as to exclude everything of doubtful or immoral tendency, might do good service to the commu nity and himself by establishing such a library among us.

Economy is wealth—Call at JOSEPH’S. fives no doubt take an interest in whatever relates to the different candidates for office, we have coincided to give the following incident that occurred in 18CI, but wliiuh has never before appeared in print, and boa been but little spoken of, yet if any true Georgian can read it without fee’ing wanner than usual towards Col. Thweali;, hi* heart is not like ours, when we first beard ofit. In 1861, Col liiweatt was in the zenith of his popu larity as Comptroller General of Georgia. Having several years before been elected Comptroller, when the office was scarcely ever spoken of, and considered of but little or do importance—by his carrying out fully many important duties required of former Comptroll er*, bat neglected by others, and by his adopting a new system of reporting, showing the various source* of wealth of the State from the Tax Boats, (which ha* sinoa bean made one of the duties bf the Comptroller General) and hi* goingback into the past, and gath ering up the old tax claims of the State and paying into the State Treasury largo amounts of money from the same, and, a*, ander his administration tne per cent tax want down, while the same ameunt of money was required to be raised all the time—it was frequent ly asserted, and believed by many, that few States had as good, and none had a better Comptroller Gen eral than Georgia. Indeed the Financial part of his Reports, as soon as issued, were usually telegraphed to New York. Such being Col. Tbweatt’s position and standing at the beginning of the war, mat, in 1861, alter the Confederate Htatea Government was organized, and while Congress was perfecting a tax system, the Hon. T. R.R. Cobb, wrote to Major John if. Steele (CoL T’s former partner and ffieud) requesting him to see Col. Thweatt, and to tel! him to hold himself in readi- cess to take charge of the Tax Bureau, then about to bo organized—that there was no doubt about bis re ceiving the appointment if he would accept it—that those who had tho matter in charge had the thing all fixed &.O., but, that, as the Act creating it had not then been passed, he knew not what the salary would be, bat supposed it would be at least j*3,0C0. Major Steele came to Milledgeville, and in person delivered Mr. Cobb’s message, when Col. Thweatt replied in substance to Miyor Steele as follows : “Tell Mr. Cobb, and the friends bo alludes to. though not named, that I am indeed truly thankful to them for their high ap preciation of me. and their hind intention, but that I can not accept. If my services are so valuable that the Confederate Government may want them, they are equally valuable to my own Stale—and now, that we are going into a war, and perhaps a long one, and the wives and clii'dren of many a poor mi.n Iu Georgia will havo to be taken care of by our Slate, the means for doing which isto be raised by taxation, as the last Legislature unanimously re elected me Comptroller aud everybody seorrn eatisSed with my discharge of duty, if I have any experience or ability worth the having by any Government, I prefer that my own native State should have them. That although my salary is but $1,600, and I am heavily weighed down with work and with no cleik. yc-t, that I would rather serve Georgia, with my small salary, than any other Government with donble or Irillc the salary Arc. Say to Hr. Ccbb further, that so long as Georgia needs my services, or Will employ me, and will ouly feed and clothe me and my family, no mutter what position or salary the Confederate or any other Government may Oiler mo, i will never detert. or leave Georgia! This settled the matter. When the Tax Bureau was established, it was tendered to some other, and accept ed. Somotlme after the Hon. A. n Stephens having written to him to know whether or not lie would ac cept the office of Chief Collector of Taxes for Georgia, (the position occupied at different times during the warby Judge Cabiueas and Judge Starnes) his reply was similar to that made to Mr. Cobb - that ho “would rot, quit tho service of Georgia to go into the service of any other Government.” There were not many I’eterson Tii weatt's in Geor gia, iu 1861, (nor are they in Georgia now) who would refuse an honorable anti responsible position with a $3,000 salary and pleLty of Clerks, and bo content to take a $1,600 salary with no clerk, suit hard work, rather than quit the service of bid own State. It is to be Loped that the Legislature iu .January will put him back ia his old position, the Comptrollei’s office, when if we are not much mistaken, iis will be as popular with all classes of the present day, us he was witii all classes iu former years, while “in harness.” Of Course They Sid. It is reported that the Collector cf the Internal Revenue (it Atlanta and his deputies, were in the habit of us ing all the money they collected. We wonder that the authorities at Wash ington should expect anything else. It was that money probably which helped to carry the elections in Ful ton county. The authorities at Wash ington connived at it, but think it necessary to make a fuss about it now the electionis over. Here is what they say about it. The Atlanta Collectoeship.—A Washington letter says : “A Govern ment officer sent down to Atlanta Georgia, to investigate the accounts of the Internal Revenue Collector for that District, has reported to the In ternal Revenue Bureau that the col lector and several of It is deputies in discriminately used the Government funds for their own private purposes, and that the Collector had received presents from tobacco manufacturers for selling them stamps on credit, in violation of the law. On the receipt of the report the commissioner issued an order suspending the collector from office, and has instituted proceed ings against him for the recovery of the amount due the Government.” Tho Credit BKobilier Scandal Inves tigation. When Congress reassembled .and Speaker Blaine and other members of CongresB accused of bribery’ in that famous Union Railroad scandal de manded an investigation, and a com mittee was appointed to investigate their conduct, many believed the mem bers accused were innocent, and that the investigation would prove them so ; but when the committee assem bled and closed their doors against the public and the reporters for the press, men began to change their opinions, and it is now generally believed the members are guilty, and that the com mittee was only intended for a blind, and that their report would be noth ing but a coat of white-wash spread over them to hide their guilt and mor al depravity, and this latter opinion is not confined to Democrats, but is also entertained by many staunch Repub licans. An article in the New York Evening Post, a Republican paper, seems to consider it a bad case. The Post thinks that when men are innocent of a crime charged , they are willing to have an investiga tion before the world. But when men want the doors closed, and an investi gation in secret made by political lriends, it shows that they believe their deeds will not bear the light. It is certainly a very bad sign when po litical parties try to bide from the pub lic, and cover up the rascalities of their associates, but this has become so common of late that it is expected that this committee after sitting a long time with closed doors, will come out and declaro the whole possee inno cent, although the proof against them is of the most positive kind. It won’t do to convict so many of the leading Radicals in Congress all at one time. Death of Gea. A. &• Wright. On last Saturday the report reach ed our city that Gen. Wright was dead but as we could not trace the report to its source, we hoped it would prove incorrect, but on Monday the report was confirmed. Gen. Wright has for many years been a prominent man in Georgia. As a lawyer and politician, an editor and a soldier, he ranked high. But a short time be fore his death he was elected to Con gress from the 8th Congressional Dis trict, and had he lived to have taken his seat in Congress he would no doubt have been one of the boldest defenders of Georgia in that body. All who served with him in the Confeder ate army give him the credit of being a brave soldier.

JMIH BULL, MANUFACTURER AND VENDER OF THE £3? 4P SMITH'S TONIC SYRUP rmm tub cvrk of AGUE AND FEVER, OR CHILLS AND FEVER. The proprietor of this celebrated medicine justly claim* for it a superiority over all remedies ever offer ed to tbe public for the safe, certain, speedy and per manent cure of Ague aud Fever, or Chills mid Fever, whether ol short or long standing. He refers to the entire Western and Southern country to bear liim tes timony to the truth of the asseition. that in no case whatever will it fail to cure if the directions are strictly followed aud carried out. In a great many rases a single dose lias been sufficient for a cure, and whole families have been cured by a single bottle, with a peitect restoration of the general health. It is| however, prudent, and in every case more certain to cure, if its use is continued in smaller dose* for a week or two after tli* disease ha* been checked, more es pecially iu difficult and loug.*taudiog case*. Usually this medicine will rot require any aid to keep the bow els iu good order. Should the patient, however, re quire a cathartic medicine, after having taken three or four doses of the tonic, a single dose of BulCt \’ege table Family Pillt will be sufficient.

Rivers, wita of Reverend Dr. Rivers, one of the most learned, eloquent and popular Minister* of the Method ist Episcopal Church, and who is at present stationed at Broadway Church, Louisville, Ky. Louisvillk, Kr., Oct. 8,18C2. Dr. John Bull—Dear Sir : M any thanks to you fur the medicine you have *o kindly given me. 1 hava been a great sufferer for years, and had the advice of various physician*. Some pronounced my spine, some my lungs, and some my heart to be the scat of my dis ease. I have been burnt, blistered and cupped until I had become disheartened. Several very eminent physicians who examined my spine informed me that I was threatened with paralysis or appoplexy any day and that nothing but a setou would relieve me, I had a perfect horror of that, and was hesitating about having one inserted, when you kindly sent rae your Sarsaparilla which I immediately begun to take three ’. imes a • da 7' f had suffered terribly with a men acute pain in the right sido of inv head, especially when I wonld read or write for any length of time, ami on rising to my feel I would be puriectly blind for several minutes, aud wouidhave to hold to something to prevent falling. 1 am most happy to inform you that the pain in my head is entirely relieved; I suffer hut seldom with my spine and then uot so acutely. My appetite is goou j indeed fur tbe first time iu my lite I enjoy my dinner more than any meal daring the day. You kindly sent me lour bottles again last night, and I began again thii morning, and I Imps to be en tirely relieved- Please accept my heartfelt thanks nnii be»t wishes. Very truly your most grateful friend, M. B. C. Uiv&jt*. My ionrual abounds with similar letlcrs, all of which 1 guarantee lo bo genuine aud written by the person* whose names they bear.

My Sarsaparilla bos stood the test for twenty five years; it is still the Sarsaparilla of the day, and of the age, towering over all others in popularity and its curative qualities. Avoid all those who arc trying to palm oft' ou you other extracts ef Sarsaparilla, so-called. Remember it is Dr- John Bull’s Sarsaparilla, of Louisville, Ky , that is th* old and reliable reuiesl^ ior impurities of the blood and scrofulous affection*. Always bear that in mind.

Being moved so often, my wonnds have not healed yet. I have not set up a moment since I was wounded. I am shot through the hips. My general health is im paired, aud I need something to assist nature; I iiavs more faith in your Sarsaparilla than anything else. I wish that which is g*nuiue. Please express me half a dozen bottles, and oblige. Capt. C. P. JOHNSON. St. Louis, Mo, P. S.—The following was written April 30th, IdCti by Mrs. Jennie Johnson, mother of Capt.

At thirteen years of age he bad a chronic diarrhea and scrofula, for which I gave your Sarsaparilla. It cured him. I have for tea years recommended it to many in New York, Ohio and Iowa, for scrofula, fever sores, and general debili ty. Perfect success has attended it- The cures ef fected in some cases of scrofula and fever sores were almost miraculous. I am very auxious for my son to again have recourse to your Sarsaparilla.
