It comes out that Gov ernor Bullock exerted all his little influence to have the credentials signed by himself, at least deferred until some action was taken in regard to the condition of affairs in the State. Hilt, accuses him of duplicity, and Senator . Sherman was pretty free in his statements re garding him last Monday. No notice at all was taken of Dr. Miller, the other Senator, who has not so openly espoused Radicalism as his colleague. Senator Patterson, of Ten nessee, however, intends to offer Miller’s credentials on the 5th, and his case will then be on a footing with Hill’s. Danger of Sky-Kockets. —In Memphis on Christmas-eve, while Mr. Reuben Pattison, youngest son of Col. Geo. Pattison, the well known bookseller of that city, was walking on Main street, he was struck down by a sky rocket fired by some one from outside the confectionary under Odd Fellows’ Hall, im- diately opposite. The -missile, instead of shooting upwards, as intended, whizzed . across the street, striking young Pattison lull upon-the side of the calf of the leg. It passed through, exploded after striking, tore away the flesh and ligaments in great masses, and severed the main artery. An incision was thus made nearly two inches in depth, and extending for several inches either way, Re vealing a most frightful gash. Mr. Pattison fell on the pavement as though pierced by a bullet. At last accounts fears are entertained for his recovery. A Bad Night’s Work.—Under this head ing the Macon Telegraph publishes the pro ceedings of our City Council consummating the transfer of the city stock in the Atlantic and Gulf Railroad, and adds: “Now, while Savannah has chosen to adopt what appears to ns the suicidal policy of substantially put ting all her communications with the interior under the exclusive control of a single corpo ration, she had the alternative of an equally advantageous sale of her Atlantic and Gulf bonds to a oompany which would have given her another independent route to Macon, and the benefit of the trade and produceof a vast section of Georgia, as yet without outlet to the seaboard. That is what we call a bad trade for Savannah, although she may enter tain a different opinion.” already there are indications of a factions op position t6 the incoming President from the jGrtrqmaRadicals, which m?? greatly ^Tr,liurm«K Lip nrlmini^tmtion in the veiy out set In the degree that tho Ifadical legiders- believe General Grant to be honest jiatriotic and magnanimous, in • the Same degree 4° they distrust him, and fearing to lose the ad vantage which the revolutionary legislation of the present Congress has given them, until they have proved his tractability, they hesi tate to reinstate the Presidential office on its constitutional basis, or to adopt such meas ures as may tend to diminish their control over the Executive Department of the Gov- eminent. - The first indication of the apprehended conflict between the new President and the ultra TbiAicidH, manifested itself in the Senate in the opposition of the Indian Committee to the transfer of the Indian Bureau to .the War Department, a measure known to be favored by General Grant. • In addition to this, Sena tor Conkling’s bill far repeal the act requiring the Forty-first Congress to assemble in March, and the opposition to the repeal of the Civil Tenure hill, which having been passed under pretence of hedging an untrustworthy Executive, is regarded by General Grant as an indirect insult to himself,—are manifestations of distrust, if not hostility, which, if report be true, he is not disposed quietly to brook. It is stated that within a'few days past, General Grant has expressed himself with great emphasis to two members WASTE or VAaoBi The Richmond Xfthig tells the stoty t>f two young gentlemen, one of Philadelphia and the other of Princeton, who ben^jjsmitten with the some belle, worth half a ^ million, took it Into their heads that each was the barrier to the other.

Savannah Rifle Club. t lary Meet lac of tile above A Hook and Ladder Truck Demc by Irons.—The Augusta Chronicle relates that while the Hook and Ladder Company of that city were passing down . Broad street, on Christmas- Eve, in order to avoid running over a crowd of people, they inclined their truck sharply. to the inside ofthe pavement, and brought. up . against the bronze lions, making a total wreck of the machine. The company escaped without injury. Lions are dangerous animals to be at large in a city, especiallyon Christmas Eve. ’ ' ■ ^ E ~-‘.y Christmas Pabty at the White House.— The gay season was inaugurated in Washing ton by President Johnson’s grand children, who gave a party at the White House, to which a very general invitation to the little people of Washington was given. There was no discrimination op account of loyalty. ! *5 Gen. Meade..—The 2K5tme says it is the in tention of the Senate Reconstruction Com mittee to ascertain the views of Gen. M». ro upon placing Georgia under a provisional Government The Macon Telegraph predicts that Gen. Meade will give, no support or countenance to . the projoct : _ - Gn Tuesday, in the Senate, Sumner brought in a bill to strike the word “white” put ofthe naturalization laws. He is in hopes of a strong emigration from Africa to this favored land ofthe negro. He wants real Africans; “Americans of African descent” are not black enough for him. The Souik Georgian says: We learn that Dr. P. M. D. Hopkins, a member of the pre sent Legislature of Georgia, from Miller county, died of pneumonia a short time since. A correspondent of the New York Com- 1 merciaZ Advertiser says General. Grant: is op posed to the prolongation of the Freedmen’s circumstances. Ex-Governor Letcher reports Virginia „„ decidedly likely to defeat the black-and-tan constitution. of CongresB, decidedly in favor of the Forty- first Congress meeting in March next, at the same time declaring that if Conkling’s l>ill to repeal the act fora continuous session, passes, hia first official act will be to convene the new Congress in extraordinary session by proclamation forthwith. Alluding to this declaration of General Grant, the Washing ton correspondent of the World says; “This resolve is the first Grant has yet made public at all in reference to his approaching admin istration. What his purpose is is only to be explained by recent occurrences, and princi pal among them is the exposure of the inten tion to burden his administration with all the clogs fastened on Mr. Johnson. It is evident that he intends to have something, to say, and his energetic declaration to-day fills the Rad icals with apprehension.” It is too soon tc speculate with any cer tainty in reference fa> the incoming adminis tration. So far as the hopes of the. country are centred on General Grant, the prospect is hopeful. He stands independent of party. He can have no motives that are not patriotic. He cannot oppose Radical usurpation and misrule and be wrong; and he may be sure that in a conflict for the restoration of the Constitution, of the usurped rights and prerogatives of the Executive office, and the re-establishment of. the nicely adjusted checks and balances of our republican system of government, he will be sustained by the patriotic, honest and liberty-loving masses of the American people, of all sections and all parties. Reconciliation between President John son and Gen. Grant.—Another indication of the approaching era of good feeling is to be found in the effort which we are assured is being made among inflnential and slightly conservative Republicans in Washington to restore amicable relations between President Johnson and Gen. Grant, who Air some time past have not been on speaking terms. A" Washington letter says Senator Henderson is in charge of the negotiations, and that they may take form in & call from the General at the White House on New Year’s day. The difference is believed to be founded only on such issues as are dead; and, in view of the inauguration, it is esteemed highly desirable that each should say “Let us have peace.” The true men of the country will hail Mr. Henderson’s success in this matter with un feigned satisfaction. From Washington,;—We were pleased yesterday to meet Hon. Nelson Tift, Con gressman from the Second District en route home from the National capital. He does not pretend to conceal his grave fears for the future, yet thinks it still in the power of the people of Georgia to block the Radical game, and secure, by wise management, a sub stantial victory in the pending contest over the status of the State. In due time, doubt less, the public will be apprised of the line of policy to achieve this desired result. Mr. Tift thinks that the Edmunds bill, which .makes the. present State Government < pro visional in its nature, is a foregone cohclu- sipn, unless the Congressional majority, can be divided by the substitution, therefor, of some other measure.—if aeon Messenger, , Augusta Theatricals.—A number of ladies and gentlemen of Augusta gave a dramatic performance at the Theatre in that city last week for the benefit of the poor of the City. The entertainment netted the handsome sum of $500, which amount has been placed in the hands of benevolent ladies for distribu tion among the destitute widowB and orphans. The Chronicle and; Constitutionalist give very extended and flattering, notices of the performances of the lady and gentlemen thespions. * '** 'yt,J~~ b ted that7&e . “Jackson County Regulators^ of Indiana, number seven hundred men, and that about seventy of this band participated in the late hanging of the Renos and others. They have recently, published a circular warn ing those who have threatened them that if their threats are carried into execution the committee will deal summarily with them. ' * -7“ > • # • • Southern Loyalist Claims.—The amount of claims presented by alleged Southern loyalists for damages to property by Federal troops, now on the table of the Seriate Com mittee on Claims, amount to just half a mil-. lion dollars; brit Senators are of the opinion that the passage of the very first claim, as a precedent, will swell the list to hundreds of millions of dollars. The population of Hfliiois is now one- fif teenth that of the whole country, and it payB a fourteenth of the entire fro. .Mow long will Massachusetts be able to keep sufeh on elephant in harness ? An addition has been made to the collec tion, of curious things at the State Constable’s office in Boston of the pen-knife which was taken from Professor Webster after he was convicted of Dr. Parkman’s murder. ..Upon one side is the motto, “when you -can do good neglect not the opportunity.” And upon the other the golden rule. issue of their duel, which, she added with a tone of soft reproach, was a folly- the more, incomprehensible, as she had never had the least thought of taking either for a husband. At the same time she introduced another young gentleman, all smiles, to Whom she said she was engaged—and she begged the two sons of Maxs;to.attend the 'nuptials on. Xmas Day. THE COTTON CHOP. The New York limes says: The cotton crop figures now tify the anticipations of the ea year, that the yield would he huger this year than it was last; in other words, they show that, the crop of 1867-’68'will be close upon' two and a half million hales, or half .a millio] bales over the crop of 1866- 67. The follows ing statement, showing the movements in cotton at the dripping ports, will be found of interest: • ?

'Rut its benefits are »c-t for the South only, but for the whole country. Cotton is not only a great source of national wealth directly, but commercial' exchanges betweenthis spun try and Europe. Our exchanges ought to be largely improved by the Tecent movements. * 1 m 1 ? 7 r Northern Cmuzmi®.—‘The New. York Herald says: Murder as one of the fine arts, as described by Dr. Quincy, finds almost daily illustrations in moral and puritanical New England. It is evident that the lessons oi the ancestors of the New England people, wholiring Quakers mid burnt witches for pastime. are not forgot ten. Seriously, cannot our New England phi lanthropists and philosophers pause a mo ment in their missionary works among the fur off Hindoos andfat and lazy Africans, and set about improving the immoral atmosphere with which they are surrounded, and m re claiming from Satan’s grip the poor, shiver ing souls akin to their own flesh and blood ? A truly shocking State of affairs prevails in New England, and something should be done to check the course of society there in-its downward career to utter demoralization. The New York Sun, speaking of the way •justice” is administered in that city, says; Every lawyer will recognize the fidelity of the following sketch from the pen of Mr. Dyer: “What judge is ypur case coming before ?” “Judge “Then you must retain Mr. • Such are the conversations which one now constantly hear in the law offices and court rooms of New York cily; and what a depth of professional and judicial degradation such remarks reveal! In tact, with some excep tions, the whole method of the business of the bar and of the begph has become repul sive to honest men.” r\q j -,i- The fact is that the judges rather reflect the sentiments and character of low, pot house politicians, than those of the average men of the community. They come on to the bench indebted to these wretches for their election; and, under the thin guise of judicial forms, they rob and plunder honest men to pay their own political debts, and to fill their own pockets. Corruption Everywhere and W Almost All Things.—Not long ago BDenry^Waed Beecher delivered a sermon upon a “corrupt judiciary,” and a son of Judge Peckham ven tured a reply. Mr. Beecher dediries to take back, and conclui 20 years ago. Its proprietor was well aware that could not wholly escape the.penalty attached to all newand useful preparations. ' He, therefore; endeav ored to invest it with strongest possible safeguards against counterfeiters, and to render all attempts to pirate it difficult and dangerous. It was submitted to dtsfiuguts'h'/wSe'herutuBta for analysis, and pronounced I by them the purest spirit ever manufactured. Its pu rity and properties having been thus ascertained, asm-' pies of the article were fprwarded to ten thousand, I physicians, in/-lwUwg sit the jsaiting practitioners in, the United States, for purposes of experimeri. A circular, requesting a trial of the preparation and are- port ofthe resnlt, accompanied each speciment. Four thousand of, the most eminent medical men in tho , Union promptly responded. Their opinions of tho j article were nnanimonsly favorable. Such a prepara-, tion, they eatdj had long been wanted by tho profes sion; as no reliance conld be placed on -the ordinary liquors'of -commerce, all of which were' mure or less adulterated, and therefore unfit tor medical purposes. The peculiar bxcelence and strength ofthe ailof juni per, which formed oneof the principle ingredients of tho Schnapps, together with an unalloyed character of the alcoholic element, give it, in the estimation of the faculty, a marked superiority over - every -other diffusive stimulant as a diuretic tonic and restorative. tW I ■ ■ " eetinc of tile aoovt WEDNESDAY EVENING, 1868, atthe office et Dr. J.

The genuine article, manirihcpjrcd thr establishment of the undersigned, in.

By a process j unknown ia the preparation of any other liquor; it is freed from every acrimonious and corrosive element Complaints have been reqeiyed tfojfi the leading pfryfricrfariH imd femflies in th^ Southern States ofthe . sale of cheap imitations of Hie. Schiedam Aromatic Schnapps in those markets; and travellers, who are in the habit of using it as an antidote, to the baneful in- flnjepce of unwholesome river water, testify that cheap gin* put up jn Schiedam bottles, is frequently palmed off upon the unwary. The agents of the undersigned. have been requested to institute inquiries on the sub ject, and to forward to him the names of such parties as they may ascertain to be engaged in the atrocious system bf deception. In conclusion, the undersigned would say that he has produced, from under the hands effhe most distinguished men of science in America proofs unanswerable of the purity and medicinal ex cellence Qf the S_c^iedam Aromatic Schnapps; that he has sxp.ended many thousand dollars in surrounding it with guarantees aqd safeguard®? designed shouldprotecf the public and himself against fradulent inflations; that he has shown it to be the only liquor in the world that can be uniformly depended upon as unadulterated; that he has challenged investigation, analysis, comparison, and experiment in all its forms; and from every ordeal the preparation which bears his name, seal and trade mark, has come off triumphant. He therfore feels it a duty he owes to his fellow-citizens generally, to the medical profession and the sick, to daqonnce and expose the charlatans who counterfeit these evigeQCbP of identity, and he calls upon the press and thepnbiic to aid him in his efforts to remedy so great an evil.

The examination hasYesulted in toe conclusion that the sample contained no poisonous or harmfnl admix ture.. I have been unable to discover any trace of the deleterious substances which are employed in toe adulteration of liquors: I would not hesitate to use myself or to recommend to others, for medical pur poses, the Schiedam Schnapps as an excellent and un objectionable variety of gin. ‘ ‘ Very respectfully yours, (Signed) CHAS.

Delirium tremens, and other diseases of the brain and nerves, so rife in this country, are very rare in Europe, owing, in a great degree, to the difference in toe purity of the spirits sold. * We have tested tho several articles imported and, sold by you, including your Gin, which you sell un der the name of Aromatic Schiedam Schnapps, which we consider justly entitled to the high" reputation it has acquired in this country; and from your long ex perience as a foreign importer,your Bottled'Wines and Liquors should meet with the same demand. ; We would recommend you to appoint some of toe respectable apothecaries in different parts bf toe city as agents for the sale of your Brandies and Wines, where the profession can obtain the same when need ed for medicinal purposes.
