AM TOWN CREEK, in the eastern part

the Mill about seventy-live acres of good

for saw-mill purposes on twenty-seven
hundred acres or land adjoining said mill.
The mill is in good order for grinding
wheat and corn. There is a good six room
frame building close to the mill and two
small houses on the land suitable for farm
hands—all the dwelling houses built since
the war. No more desirable mill property
In this ceunty. Located in a good section

When Sherman came through this city
in 1864, the soldiers of his Army gutted
the Capitol and burnt the enclosure. They
took off little mementoes in tho shape of

erly signed but not duly Issued, and these

OLD EDITORS AND OLD PRINT
ERS AT THE OLD CAPITAL.
That a sketch of the important charac
ters who figured in journalism atMilledge-
ville, from 1832-’3, during and since the fa
mous Clark and Troup contests, will be in
teresting to some of our old readers, and
many of the young, we believe. We only
presume to present a narrative, in brief,
for it would take several entire issues of
this paper to approximate even a complote
portaiture of the subject wo have taken
in hand to-day.
OLD TOM HAYNES,
as he was called in the palmy days of
newspaporlal reign, was a splendid speci
men of physical manhood. He was per
sonally a magnetic inan, and won friends
as women do, by attraction, nis paper,
“The Staudard of Union,” was a power In
his party and among the people. It rival
ed tho old Federal Union and the Southern
Recorder and Georgia Journal. In those
days, however, men, not principles, were
standards of battle. It was Troup and
Clark, not Tariff or Free Trade. Col.
naynes was State Treasurer for many
years, and wa6 a leader in his party, and
a strong mania tho quieter walks of life.
But, perhaps, he will be remembered best
by a famous expression he made when he
saw the elephant for the first time. After
viewing the monkeys, birds, and beef-eat
ing animals, ho strolled over with some
friends to whero an elephant was lunching
on a pile of hay. The great beast, presen
ted his trunk to him pleadingly for pea
nuts or other provision—then Col. Haynes
uttered this Immortal expression—“That’s
Sufficient;” and to this day we often hear
it said, “That’s sufficient, as Tom Haynes
said when he saw tho elephant.”
OOL. JOHN A. CUTHBERT
was for many years, in the early thirties
of the century, the editor of the Federal
Union. He was sent to Congress from
Georgia, and at tho time of his death, re
cently in Mobile, Ala, at the age of 92 years,
ho was the oldest living ex-Congressman
in the South. We have before us, as we
write, a file of his paper as long as he ed
ited it. It was, for the day he liv
ed, a popular representative of tho
times—aggressive, bold and honest.
It was'strong, defiant, successful, beating
outof tho political field its old rival, “The
Standard of Union,” and giving vigorous
blows to its political adversaries the Re
corder and tho Journal.
When the writer first came to read these
journals, Messrs. Grieve and Orme were
at the head of the Recorder, and Col. Pe
terson Thweatt, tho famous State Comp
troller General, In after years, was man
aging the latter. Col. Thweatt was a re
markable man, most remarkable for own
ing two of tho grandest qualities that en
ter into the composition of a noble man-
industry and honor. By these he stood,
worked and died. A thousand words of
eulogy could not more fully express out-
admiration of the man than those two
words. He was the truesftf friends, and
had the personal courage of Key, tho
“bravest of the brave.” He was not suc
cessful as a publisher, and his paper, ef
fects and good will, were sold to Mr. Simri
Rose of Macon, Ga., then proprietor of the
“Messenger.” While tho “Journal” was in
the hands of Col. Thweatt, there was called
to Its editorial chafr
MAJ. JOHN H. STEELE.
Maj. Steele was a Secretary of the Ex
ecutive Department during the adminis
tration of Gov. George W. Crawford, and
his trusted, confidential friend. The writer
has iieariMtsaid, and men living now will
vouch thestatement.thata Whig Convention
could not be held in Georgia without Maj.
John H. Steele. During the early days of
Secession ho served under Col. A. R. La
mar, at present cl Macon, as assistant
secretary of the convention that took Geor
gia out of the Union. As puoiie printer, at
the time, both in Miliedgeville and Savan
nah, we had abundant opportunity to see
how well he did his work. He was a school
teacher for some years, but In that quiet,
plodding way his active spirit could not be
content. He was a very amiable man, and
his delightful conversation drew crowds
about him whenever he was in a talking
mood. If he knew a man, and that man
knew him, it was all right from a hun
dred dollar suit of clothes at tho tailor's,
to a twenty-live cent drink at the bar. In
those days gambling, especially horse-
raclng and betting at faro, wore common,
and there wore few legislators who did
not take a hand. Tho Major was very fond
of “bucking against the tiger,” as he call
ed it. He worked hard all day, and fought
the tiger at night. Nothing but Ids iron
constitution could have withstood, so long a
time, such a continuous strain. He was a
inagnettc man, by a largo majority; and,
as my respected friend Judge Rlch’d. Clark
would say, “dear old Major, with all thy
faults I love thee still.”
Coining down to men who controlled
journalism at the old Capital from 1810 to
ncaV the present day, we desire to be brief
ly heard about them,
COL. MILLER GRIEVE A MB.B. M. OEMS, SR.,
were at the head of tho Southern Re
corder when the writer came here in ’37.
The former was editor, the latter business
manager. It was by far the most influen
tial paper of Its politics in the State. The
Whigs took it, read it, and swore by it.
Even the old women had a veneration for
it, and the children cried for it. Col.
Grieve was not a ready or voluminous
writer. He was a devoted novel reader
and his foreman had oftentimes to spur
him up to get one leading editorial from
his pen for the week’s paper. lie was a
pure man; open and honest. He was ap
pointed by President Fillmore to a diplo
matic station In Denmark, and took with
him two of his eons. This closed his jour
nalistic life. Ills partner, Mr. Orme, was
a splendid business man. He worked dili
gently, honestly, and prospered. He was
the best collector of money we ever saw.
He had on his subscription list the biggest
politicians in the State, and what is truly
wonderful, lie got his money out of them,
something few publishers have ever since
done'. He was a good and true man. Mr.
Orme after Col. Grieve’s departure then
called to his assistance in the editorial chair,
Rev. Joshua Knowles, at present the edi
tor in Chief of the Greensboro, Ga., Home
Journal, a pure and popular paper. Mr.
Knowles brought a ready pen and an ae-
tivo mind to the Recorder’s aid, and it was
never more formidable as a political an
tagonist, or more instructive and useful
as a journal, than during the time he con
trolled its columns.
Along about the middle of tho year 1851,
there came to this city a man from Alba
ny, Ga. by name
SETH N. BOUGHTON.
He had been several years editing the
Albany Patriot in copartnership with Col.
Nelson Tift. Ho, together with Joseph H.
Nlsbet and William Barnes, purchased the
Federal Union newspaper from Col. D. C.
Campbell and Hon. II. V. Johnsoa, for ten
thousand dollars. Col. Campbell, under
the lead of Col. Rhettof South Carolina, had
run the paper on the rocks. Under
wiser counsels tho proprietors got it into
open sea, and made the harbor of a re-uni
ted party and personal prosperity. Mr.
Boughton for a score of years edited the
Foderal Union with marked ability, lie
had the power of concentration beyond
any writer on the press we ever knew.
He could ruin, or cripple, his antagonist
In two lines. We knew him once to drive
an editor from his position in a neighbor
ing city, by the following: We give no
names. The editor of tho Macon paper
was a very small man, about live feet high
"and weighing not one hundred pounds.
The Macon editor attacked Mr. Boughton,
and said, “Ills shots wero only mustard
seed.” Mr. B. replied, “tfl&t may be true;
but wo don’t shoot cannon balls at bum
blebees.” That was a crusher.
Mr. Boughton was a Northern born man,
but a more inflexible defender of the South
and her people never lived in Dixie land.
He, his wife, and only son, lie sldo by side
in our city cemetery.
AN OLD COLORED PRESSMAN.
Ben Orme (Ben Sams is bis entitling
since freedom,) called at our office the oth
er day to get a “printer,” as a newspaper
Is called that Is misprinted by a wrinkle
or fold of the paper a3 it runs through the
press. This old colored man was Mr.
Orme’s pressman for many years, and is
now one of our oldest inhabitants. He is
engaged in farming near the city. He said
when printing played out ho took to farm
ing as the next best thing. His recoliee-
tion recurred to a day when he carried
his daughter to a circus whose tent was
raised upon the ground where now stands
this Masonic Hall. The brick for this build
ing were made by Mr. Tom Stubbs, and
are an enduring monument to ids memory.
But not to digress: “Uncle” Ben says ho
worked for Mr. Orme about fifty years.
He went into his olllce when he was a boy,
and ho is now 78 years old. He was work
ing for Grantland A Orme when Clarke
was Governor. He was Mr. Ormo’s press
man as long as he lived, and continued in
the office a while arter his death. He help
ed to save the office when tien. Sherman
passed through this city. This last state
ment reminded us that our Mr. Barnes
owned a negro man by the name of Joe,
who assisted in hiding the press and ma
terial of tho “Foderal Union” in the woods
near Camp Creek, when Gen. Sherman vis
ited thethen capital of Georgia. When the
people had hid their valuables and every
thing was ready for the coming of the vic
torious army, Joe put on Ills Sunday
clothes and left homo. Meeting a party of
blue coats, he was overjoyed to seo them,
and told them Ills master and mistress had
buried their money and jewelry; but if
they would go and choke his mistress she
would tell where they were. He know
where a big printing press was hid in the
woods, and he would show it to them. His
new friends told him It was all right, to
come along with them. Poor old Joe, he
hail fallen into the hands of a party of
Wheeler’s men in disguise, and they took
him down below Seottsboro and hung him
to a tree, where hereraainod till Sherman’s
army left, when his master went and cut
him down and buried him.
Mil. MADISON AND Till TARIFF.
The Chronicle & Constitutionalist of tho
15th Instant, says:
“The editor of the Monroe Advertiser
overlooks the fact that it was Senator
Gorman, of Maryland, who, in a very re
markable speech, said: “Mr. Madison fa
vored protection or American industry
and feebler men oppose it.” Wo may add
that lie furnished proof of what he sta
ted.”
In an article published in tho Union A Re
corder of the 6th inst., wo reported Mr.
Randall, one of the editors ot that paper
as asserting the above about Mr. Madison.
We wrote on a slip of paper thoso words
and placed it in our port folio for no ob
ject whatever, but at a more convenient
time, to show that Mr. Madison did not
favor tho principle of a tariff for the pro
tection of one Interest at the expense or
another. In some way our purpose was
overlooked for nearly three weeks. We
had taken down tho words and the dato of
the letter. We know that those words did
not appear in the published letter under
quotation marks and we know that some
portion of Mr. Gorman's speech referred
to by Mr. Randall, was under quotation
marks. We do not keep a file of tho Chron
icle, which Mr. Walsh very kindly sends
us, and when the slip or paper referred to,
which had been overlooked, again met our
eye, wo could not find the paper from which
we had taken the words. But we very
cheerfully accept Mr. Randall’s statement.
The reader will see, however, that no real
injustice was done him, as, In quoting it in
the Chronicle of the 15th Instant, he saj's,
“We may add that ho (Mr. Gorman) furn
ished proof of what he stated.” So that
Mr. Randall sustains what Mr. Gorman
said about Mr. Madison.
We wish to state, in connection with this,
that wo desire no controversy^witli our
Democratic brethren of the press on this
question, and it grieves us to see that we
are not guided by an harmonious senti
ment on this, the most vital question now
immediately before the people. Mr. Ran
dall, and all others, will see, at once, that,
entertaining the sentiments wo do upon it,
it is our duty to guard every point of the
Demo ‘ratio creed that may bo assailed
with hostile intent, by the Republicans, or,
be laid open to attack by what we may
deem the mistaken views of Democrats
themselves. We have, at best, a rugged
steep to climb to enable us to shout, at
the close of the battle, the Jubilant notes
of victory. It cheers us to stand, side by
side, with that able champion of right, J.
T. Waterman of tho Monroe County Ad
vertiser.
A MARKET.
Several loading citizens have requested us
toagitate the subject of a public market,
where meats shall be carried to bo sold. It is
not necessary to ha vea large or costly build
ing for tho purpose. One of very moder
ate dimensions and on an economical scale,
would answer every purpose. No citizen
who cares a fig for the appearance of his
city can look with complacency on its dis
figurement .by nearly a half dozen beef-
benches on the sidewalks of the most fre
quented streets. The spectacle they pre-
sent-ls not only disgusting to ladies who
have to pass them, but It Is uncivilizing to
refined men. A market, too, would pro
duce a rivalry among batchers, and make
them keep up a reputation, or lose custom-
The beef that has been 6old here two or
three weeks past, would demoralize the
digestive apparatus of a human ostrich.
Our citizens, at least the older ones, re
member the market once located on the
corner opposite tho Ooonee House, and
they remember too its benefits. A city
like Milledgovllle ought to take no steps
backward. -
The H. H. P. (Hill's Hepatic Panacea) and
Gilder’s Liver Pills.
These remedies for any disorder of tho
liver, can be obtained of the Proprietor,
Mr.W. H. Barrett, Druggist, of Augusta,
Ga., or any druggist in the State or Coun
try. Our readers, except new ones ob
tained in ti.e last 12 months, know our
opinion of these mellcines. Besides these
many hundreds to whom we 6ent speci
men copies of tho Union A Recorder,
saw them published in our columns. We
say now, as we said before, that we know
their merits from personal experience.
One of us who had suffered from dyspep
tic symptoms, used both the Hepatlcaand
the pills, sometimes one and sometimes
the other. We don’t know which is the
best. Wo found both excellent. They re
lieved the writer of every symptom of dis
ordered liver and In a very short time.
The effect was permanent for the distress
ing symptoms did not return. Therefore
weean heartily commend them to all per
sons who may suffer from a disorder of
that, one of the most important glands or
the systora. When It is out of order these
medicines, either one, or the other, will re
store it to its proper anil normal condition,
and the patient to health and with almost
absolute certainty.

where the meat can be raised and has been

equivalent to suicide. The God ot heaven

About this season of the year many
people are asking what it Is that deter
mined the date of Easter. The answer Is
the moon of March, which Tennyson calls
“tho roaring moon of daffodills.” The old
rule is that Easter shall fall on the Sunday
after tha full moon which comes after the
vernal equinox. That brings Easter this
year on the 25th of March. In 1813 it fell
on the 22d or March, the earliest date pos
sible. It will not fall, on that day again
in this or the following century—Homo

EXCITEMENT IN FRANCE.
In the North Americas Review for
April, the scriptural and the legal aspects
of Divorce are presented respectively by
the Rev. Dr. Theodore D. Woolsey, well
known for his inslstance on the indissolu
bility of the marriage tie, and by Judge
John A. Jameson, a jurist, whose longex-
perioneo with divorce cases In Chicago,
both on the judicial bench and at the bar,
lends to his observations a very special
value. Dr. E. Bender, a Canadian who has
studied to some purpose the political, so
cial and economic conditions of his country,
under tho title, “A Canadian view of An
nexation”, makes a forcible presentation
of the reasons which incline many citizens
of the Dominion to regard with favor the
idea of absorption by the United States-
Senator John A. Logan sets forth the need
which exists for “National Aid to Public
Schools” in the several States and and ter
ritories. The Rev. Dr. Howard Crosby
writes of “The Dangerous Classes” that
menace tho perpetuity of civil order and
the peace of the community, meaning the
manipulators of corporation stocks and
the men who, having amassed enormous
wealth, use it for nefarious purposes

A revolutionary spirit seems to exist In
France, not in Farts alone, but ia other
portions of the State. Many persons, a-
mouuting to thousands, met together in
Paris on the 11th instant, demanding a re
vision of the Constitution. A free fight
ensued. At one time the cavalry charged
the crowd. Arrests were made, and more
on the 12th, amounting to 84. Some were
sentenced to fine and imprisonment.
At tho election, in the Bellville arron-
disement, to supply the vacancy caused by
the death of Gambetta, there was no elec
tion. The votes were divided between four
candidates.- Sigismund Lacroix received
3,464 votes, the highest number cast for
either candidate, but they wore not enough
to give him a majority and the election was
to be held again.
Detectives who are watching the pro
gress of events are reported to believe that
Jerome Napoleon and M. Rougher, mem
bers of the cabinet of Napoleon IH, are
cognizant of the doings of the rioters. Ex
plosive machines had been found in vari
ous parts of the City of Paris. A dispatch
from Paris of 14th says: The Count de
Cbambord, in answering an address pre
sented by four hundred working men at
Lyons, said: “T he republic was infallably
leading France to ruin.”
The cabinet decided that if the crowds
refused to disperse after three legal warn
ings, the rioters would be arrested. Four
Anarchists, including two members of the
press, were sentenced to two year’s im
prisonment and to pay a fine of 3,000 francs
for delivering seditious speeches. The
government havo resolved to expel, upon
completion of their sentences, all foreign
ers who wore convicted of implication in
the riots. The dispatch states they were
mostly Germans.
A JUST DEBT BEGRUDGED.
Washington, March 15.—The Treasury
Department is trying to hold back the $35,-
555 appropriated for Georgia at the last
session of Congress to repay her for mon
ey spent at Savannah In tho revolutionary
war for the common defenses. The First
Comptroller decides that Georgia cannot
receive that money, as she Is indebted to
the government on account of tho direct
tax levied upon ail States in 1361. He says
that tho $35,000 should be placed to the
credit of the State as part of direct tax.
On the same grounds the Treasury has
withheld 30,000 of the $72,000 appropriated
at the last session to reimburse Oregon for
the expenses or tho Modoc Indian war. It
will be remembered that when Congress,
several years ago, appropriated money to
pay the old Cherokee claim of Georgia the
same point was raised against the payment
or the money but the money was paid to the
State. It is very likely that there will be a
similar result this time.

Every Mai His On Boss.
How to fbomote Personal Poweb—a
New Radical Reformer.
’“There Is no provision in the Divine econ
omy for political bosses!”
With a bang of his list, and in the voice
of a man who had made up his mind on
the subject, Rev. James Chambers, of Cav
alry Presbyterian Church, Harlem recent
ly opened his sermon with this announce
ment. He was right. The only boss au
thorized by the Book is mentioned in these
words: “He who nileth l.is own spirit Is
greater than he w ho taketh a city.”
Commonly, tho better side of men is
subject to the despotism of the worse side.
Bad passions, bad humors, mean jealous
ies and base revenges aro all bosses. One
of the worst of bosses is bile. What is
most depressing in philosophical or theo
logical thought is due to It. Old General
Debility is another tyrannical boss. He
lashes men who are naturally good un
til they become naturally bad or mlsora-
bly weak.
Concerning his deliverance .from this
bondage, Rev. B. P. Lewis, pastor of the
Eighth Street Baptist Church, St. Louts
Mo., writes: “I was suffering from exhaus
tion and general debility. As an invigo-
rant I used Parker’s Ginger Tonic. I
never met witli anything so effective. It
is an elegant family medicine. I take a
bottle in my valise when I go on my annu
al vacations.”
Parker’s Ginger Tonic neither intoxi
cates nor promotes a desire for strong
drinks. The mo6t pronounced temperance
people use and praise it for this reason
alone. It cures Malarial Fevers, Con
sumption, Rheumatism, and alt diseases
of the Blood. Also weaknesses peculiar to
women. Its action is prompt and pervas
ive. Test it once, and you will adopt it as
a home remedy. Prices, 59 cents and $! a
bottle. HI8COCK A Co., New York.
