Georgia—Her Frospects as a B
nfactnring State.
Had Georgia the population of New
England in proportion to area, and peo
ple a larger share of energy and busi
ness tact, there is no good reason why
one bale of raw cotton should leave her
borders. As I have shown, the water
power which can be employed is unlimit
ed. One-third of the State is covered
with a virgin forest, from which can be
derived every variety of timber for build
ing and manufact’iring purposes. The
Summer heat is not excessive, and in
W inter the thermometer rarely falls be
low 45 degrees. The laborer dependent
upon water power is thus enabled to
work every day in the year. As already
stated, labor, white and black, is cheap
here, yet owiug to the climatic advantage
pointed out, working men are enabled to
save more than they could hope to do
with higher rates of wages in a colder
climate. I am informed by Mr. Gunby
Jordan, Secretary of the Eagle and Phoe
nix Company, that on the spinning of
cotton alone seven cents a pound can be
netted to the Georgia manufacturers.—
Estimating the cotton crop of the State
at three hundred thousand bales, and five
hundred lbs. to a bale, it will be seen
that at this rate, if manufactured and
shipped as yarn, instead of in a raw con
dition .$10,500,000 annually would be
added to the wealth of the State. There
are several mills in Georgia, notably in
one county, on the Chattahoochee river,
that have taken advantage of this fact,
and are now devoting all the power of
their establishments to the manufacture
of yam for foreign shipment. In Col
umbus a company is now' forming for the
exclusive purpose of producing the same
material. Other companies are also be
ing formed throughout the State, and
with the advantage of an unrivaled cli
mate, an inexhaustible water power, the
raw material growing all around them,
freed from State taxation by a special act
of the Legislature, and with a largo and
increasing home market, they and the
mills already established need only eco
nomical management to become great
successes.—N. Y. Times.

Husband and Wife.—Did you ever hear
the word “husband,” explained? It means
literally the “head of the house,” the sup
port of it, the person who keeps it to
gether, as a band keeps together a sheaf
of wheat. There are many married men
who are not husbands, because they are
not the band of the house. Truly in
many cases, the wife is the husband; for
oftentimes it is she who, by her prudence
and thrift and economy, keeps the house
together. The married man who by bis
dissolute habits, strips his house of all
comfort, is not a husband; in legal sense
he is but in no other; for he is not a
house band; instead of keeping things to
gether; be scatters them among the pawn
brokers.
And now let ns see whether the word
“wife” has not a lesson too. It literally
means a weaver. The wife is the person
who weaves: Before our great cotton
and cloth factories arose, one of the prin
cipal employments in every house was
the fabrication of clothing; every family
made its own. The wool was spun into
thread by the girls, who were therefore
called spinsters: the thread was woven in
to cloth by their mother, who according
ly was called the weaver or wile; and an
other remnant of this old truth was dis
covered in the word “heirloom” applied
to any old piece of furniture which had
come down to us from our ancestors, and
which, though it may be a chair or bed,
shows that a loom was once a most im
portant article in every house. Thus the
word “wife” means weaver; and as Trench
well remarks, “in the word itself is wrap
ped up a hint of earnest, in-door, stay-at
home occupations as being fitted for her
who bears this name.”
A Word in Season.—Once I bad a pair
of friends—one man, one woman—who
“married together.” So I lost them; for
each resented the confidence of the ether
in me. For years I knew little of them,
but by and by the wife came to me for
counsel and assistance. She was dissa
tisfied with home and husband. “He”
was jealous, exacting, yet uqctetnonstra-
tive, and she was tired to the soul. In
vestigation showed me that the blame of
all thi lay at her own door. Her hus
band had not made so rapid an advance
in the world as she had thought he would:
marrying an ideal, she would not become
reconciled to a reality. Persistently
looking for foreign attributes to a prac
tical nature imagination come to grief,
and fa^cy—not love—perished. For
tunately, toy influence healed the breach
ere it was irremediable, and I regained
my friends. This is not the point of the
story, howeveri but the young wife may
draw her own moral from it. She should
remember that she has chosen her own
lot in life, and it is her duty, therefore,
to suit herself to her husband in all
things. If he be hasty in temper, let her
keep her own under control; if he be sel
fish, she must teach him the nobility of
generosity, and, more important than all,
perhaps, if ho become embarrassed m eir
cumstances, it is her duty to aid him by
her kindness; not to my] ter, qj oppress
him by her ill temper,
Upon the male sex the task of provi
ding the means of subsistanee is, in civ
ilized society, exclusively imposed, and,
consequently, when the} become distress
ed and have not wherewithal ]o provide for
their partner*!, they suffer doubly. They
have not only their own privations to re
gret, but yours also; and the world’s
frown and the world's—sometimes unjust
—censure falls entirely upon the husband.
The wife can hide from the world, but
the husband must face its pride and pros
perity- May all young wives be perma
nently prosperous; but for the honor of
womanhood, we admonish them not to
let adversity, should it unfortunately lay
its iron hand upon them, induce them to
depart from that affectionate conduct in
word or deed which they owe tc their
hn8bands, and conduct themselves in such
a manner as to do away with the proverb:
When poverty comes in at the door,
loves flies out of the window.”
NOTICE.
At the solicitation of many friends, I
announce my name as a candidate for
Sheriff, at the approaching election, with
A1X)LPHUS McCOMB, as my Deputy.
As I live near the city of Milledgeviile,
snd my proposed Deputy in the city, we
will, if elected, be always ready to serve
the people of Baldwin county, and prom
ise to do so with zeal and efficiency.

A Constitutional Convention-
Our able Augusta contemporary, the
Chronicle and Sentinel, thinks that our
fears, expressed in the last Reporter, as
to the non-ratification of a new constitu
tion, are groundless ; and it suggests, in
an article quoted on our first page, a plan
by which important questions on which
the people are divided, can be settled sep
arate from the constitution. If this plan
is feasible—and it appears so—the objec
tious we urged against,-a convention are
answered. At any rate, if the people by
a vote decide that they want a eonven
tion, there is little reason to fear that they
will reject the work of that convention.
The Chronicle and Sentinel says the
only plan to prevent the payment of the
fraudulent bonks, is by a constitutional
inhibition ; and the only way to obtain
that inhibition is by a constitutional con
vention. We cannot suggest a better
plan, and henee we give our assent to
tills. That something ought to bo done
—speedily and surely—no thinking man
can doubt. A burden of eight million
dollars is sought to be imposed upon ns,
in the shape of bonds issued by Bullock
contrary to law ; and we believe that the
holders would not hesitate to spend half
te secure the whole. Four million dollars,
or even one million, can accomplish a
great deal in the way of legislation, and
we should tremble to see that power
turned loose in the lobbies of the Geor
gia capital.
The expense of a convention would be
a trifle compared with the amount at
stake.' What are fifty or sixty thousand
dollars compared with eight millions ?
We agree with the Chronicle and Senti
nel, that the qnestion whether we shall
have a convention onght to be submitted
to the people ; we shall be satisfied with
their decision.—TxiGrange Rejwrfer.

Bark l. Cirergia a.4 This Time I. Star.
Yesterday there passed through Rome
three covered wagons, eaeh containing
household plunder, two or three women,
the usual number of tow headed children,
and one or two bearded, frontier-looking
men. One of the wagons was from North
Western Texas, and was en route for
North Carolina. It had been on the road
seven weeks. The other two wagons were
from Arkansas. We conversed with the
men folks of the party. They all told
the same old, old story of how they had
left the. old home-stead, thinking that
Texas and Arkansas was the poor man's
Eldorado; how out there they fought
with poverty, and lost what little they
had carried with them ; how one by one
of their Western dreams faded away into
nothing, and how hard realities dispelled
all the illusions of romance that had car
ried them hither, and how they had long
ed fpr the land of their fathers whither
they were then bound. There is one in
disputable fact connected with a new
country, to which all who have been there
will bear testimony. It is this, that it is the
place for men of capital to go to, but not
the place for poor folks. We have tried
it, and know whereof we speak.
Arab Court ship,
A correspondent writes from Egypt as
follows: We saw at one of the little
stations a party of Bedouins, romantic,
hero-looking creatures, wrapped in bour-
nous: small and dark, but lithe and seem
ingly made of steel.”—They hat their
Arab horses, who evidently unaccustom
ed to the sight of an engine, pranced
around wildly, with an ease and grace
which reminded one of the old stories of
the centaur horse and rider in one.
Out of the way of the feet of these
maddened' animals, on Borne old stone
steps, stood » crowd of their women, evi
dently belonging to the party.—Their
faoes were uncovered, bat their heads
were wrapped in fold upon fold of. heavy
white woolen staff, which covered all
their hair, their ears, and then fell in mas
ses of curve s and undnlations to ]heir
feet. One can hardly realise how pretty
costeWftit made, and their bronzed fa-
ses and fiashing independent eyes made
them seem fit heroines for some tale of
the desert. One especially, quite young,
looked as if she would keep up the chase,
which takes place before a Bedouin wom
an is married with spirit and energy.
They have a curious way of effecting a
marriage in the wild life of the desert.
The intended asks the father for his
daughter’s hand, and offers so many bales
of goods in exchange for the coveted
treasure- "When they haye settled the
business par] of the' arrangements, the
girl, who is away tending her father’s
flock of go&te at some oasis, is warned
of what has taken place, and a horse sent
her. She hastily gathers together the
provisions, also furnished her, pnt them
on the horse, leaps on herself, and is off
like lightening to the hills. Two hours
after the warning has reached her, the
father allows his proposed aon in-law to
mount and search for his betrothed.
If the girl likes her wooer, she allows
herself to be caught easily, if not she
keeps him hunting her for days, until her
provisions give out. Li Rome extreme
cases she never is found, either joins her
self to another tribe, or prefers to starve
to death to allowing herself to be captur
ed.
A very large party of Kansas immi
grants nave recently reached Bladen
county, North Carolina, where they Lavs
determined to make their future home.
They were formerly residents of an eas
tern State, but yielded to the late Mr.
Greeley’s advice to “go west,” and set
tied Jn Kansas, where the grasshoppers
successfully disputed their right to the
soil. The new settlers announce them
selves as an advance guard for a large
body of returning western immigrants.

But these slanders have been promptly

A large meeting of the Crescent City
Waite League was held in New Orleans
last Tuesday night, at which resolutions
were adopted setting fourth the leal in
tent of the organization, and repelling
slanderous statements made by the Radi
cal press. The resolutions are as fol
lows :
Whereas, Through the correspondents
of a part of the Northern press, and by
false and flagitious statements in the
Radical press of New Orleans, and by ly
ing and slanderous assertions on the part
of the members of the Returning Board,
it is sought to create the belief that the
Returning Board is threatene d with vio
lence in the discharge of its functions,
and that the White League has connived
at and counseled such violence; and.
Whereas, The real intent of this or
ganized misrepresentation is to divert
public attention from the frauds and for
geries of the Returning Board, or to furn
ish plausible excuse to the Returning
Board for abandoning the canvass at a
point where a partial promulgation of the
returns of the Jate election would give a
Radical majority in the next State Leg
islature, or to invite the interposition of
the Federal Executive, and under the pica
of furnishing protection to the Returning
Board, secure the presence and aid of
Federal troops at the State House, in
repeating the outrage of 1872, and impan
neling a Legislature not representative of
the people, to the end that the present
fraudulent and uprising government may
be perpetuated, and Louisiana be still
held under Radical subjection.
Resolved, That, infamous as are the
outrages already committed and still de
signed to be perpetuated against the
rights and liberties of the people by the
Returning Board, the White League, be
lieving that the dearest interests of Lou
isiana are involved in keeping the peace
at this juncture, will continue to main
tain the public order, and brands as false
any assertion to the contrary, come from
what source it may.
Resolved, That the above resolution^
be published in the Conservative papei. ^International and Great Northern R. R.)
of New Orleans, and that the Conserva
tive press of the entire country is earnest
ly invited and nrged to give the widest
circulation to this onr solemn asserva>-
tion.

j Southern Radicals call a Terrorism |
CancasS
Washington, Dec. 21, 1874.—The Re
publican Senators held a caucus this af
ternoon. at the solicitation of the South
ern Republican Senators and Represen
tatives, at which the condition of the
South was considered. The Senators
from the South advocated the sending of
troops to several of the States of that
sectior. They feared that the Republi
can party was hopelessly dead, unless de
cisive steps were taken during the pre
sent session to put down the turbulent
whites. They confessed their inability
to poll whites votes.
The Northern Senators did not in
dorse the pronosition, and some of them
openly expressed themselves against fur
ther interference with the affairs of the
South, saying that they had lost many
votes in the North by it.
Senator Lewis, of Virginia, declared
the Republican party had lost power in
the South because of the bad character
of many of its would-be-leaders, and the
advocacy of the civil rights bill, which
he considered a most iniquitous measure.
The South could only be carried for the
Republican party, as at present organiz
ed, by sending soldiers enough there to
prevent the people from voting. The
majority evidently agreed with him, as
before a vote was taken many Senators
left the room, and Senator MortoD, who
was relied upon by the extreme Repub
licans, did not come to their relief.
Ready Money.—Ready money is an ex
cellent thing to have on hand; no matter
if it is only a little stun. If it is only
•ufficient to moet the current expenses,
it is a great convenience, to say the least.
Any
credit with the cash system will readily
admit the correctness of the above
mark. When you buy for cash you gen
erally get things cheaper—get better
weight and measure, and all the favors
the dealer can extend to his patrons. On
the chronic credit system the matter is
usually reversed. If you try to avoid
credit by borrowing, you improve mat
ters very little, if any. Hence we give
this advice: “Turn an honest penny”
whenever you can, and always have suffi
cient money on hand to meet your small
engagements.

Rev. A. J. Battle, D. D., President of
Mercer University, by special request,
repeated his lecture on “The Sabbath of
Creation,” under the auspices of the
Young Men's Christian Association, at
the Second Baptist Church, on Sunday
evening.
He spoke of the first fivo days of crea
tion in a most charming.and entertaining
manner, in placing his subject in a prop
er bearing before his audience, showing
the things that were created on these sev
eral days, and at the same time, demon
strated that the works of these five days
were fully completed. Ho stated that
the word day, when used in tho Bible
did not mean twenty-four hours, but was
used to denote sometimes a longer pe-'
riod, and it should be so considered when i Buyerg n . e
speaking of the creation. He wishes tojiug. ut 11-2 to 9c* at
advance a new idea in relation to the Mo
saic cosmogony—The sixth day is in pro
gress, now working out its completeness,
preparatory to the dawn of the seventh,
“The Sabbath of creation,” when Christ
shall come to judge the quick and the
dead. Man is the ruling characteristic
of the sixth day, and when his destiny
shall be completed with its close, the
labors of creation will be at an end, and
the seventh the millennium shall begin ;
when Christ, the King with Moses and
Elijah, types of his kingdom’s citizen *
ship, shall come to take charge of the
world, now purified for his presence by
its baptism of fire; and “Then lift up
your heads, ye golden gates ; yea, lift up
your heads, ye everlasting doors, and let
the King of Glory in.” He elaborated
this idea in a highly instructive and en
tertaining manner, and we. regret that

N-urly all di-eases originate from Indigestion and

hours as possible in the sunshine, and as
few as possible in the shade. Many wom
en are marfyr and yet they do not know
it. They shut the sunshine ont of their
houses and their hearts, they wear veils,
they carry parasols, they do all possible
to keep off the most potent influence
which is intended to give them strength,
and beauty, and cheerfulness. Is it not
time to ohange all this, and so get color
and roses in our cheeks, strength in our
weak backs, end courage in our timid
souls? The women of Amerio-t are pale
and delieate, but with the aid of sunlight
they may be blooming and strong.
Birth and Death.—-How quickly one
generation of man follows another to the
grave. We come like the ooean waves
to the short and soaroely strike the strand
before we roll bock into the forgetfulness
whence we came. “There is a skeleton in
every house.” Ay, in some, many. We
can stand upon the corner of any street,
and, looking back, we shall see that all
the houses have changed occupants in
few years. The old men have gone, and
a generation that knew them not has
taken their plaees. Yes, while we look,
we ourselves grow old sad pees on to join
the caravan whose tents are almost in
sight on the other aids.. In youth the
other‘world seems s great way off but
later we feel and realise that it is closer
at band; and what is better, nature does
the preparatory work for paning into it,
so that easily we grow into it—are bom
into it.

Potash rag Peach Trees.—At a meet
ing of the Cincinnati Horticultural Socie
ty, Mr. Shepard alluded to potash as a
most excellent fertilizer for peach-tree.
He had a peach-orchard of about twenty-
five acres. The soil was poor and ho
manured with potash only. One barrel,
costing $35, or fifteen cents a pound, las
ted hun four years. He dissolved it in
water, so that the lye would be so weak
that a potato put in it would not quite
come to the surface; and then applied
two quarts of this liquid close around the
trunk every spring. From 2,000 peach-
trees he had sold during the past five
years $12,000 worth of peaches.
