Letter from (/'ol llnnlcUnr.
OaLETnonPB County, Ga., Duo. 8, 1809.
Meshiih, Jones & Willingham,
Proprietors Txi Grange Reporter:
Gentlemen: Having dutoruiiuod, in future, to
devote nil the energy and skill I possess to the
cultivation of tho soil, and being unwilling
to humor tho unreasonable whims and
caprices of a largo majority of our present class
of farm laborers, I propose (to eommenco with)
to take from four to Hix boys, of from fifteen to
seventeen years of age, and instruct them in tho
various branches of husbandry—to make thorn
practical farmers -provided their parents or
guardians will bind them to mo for tho term of
from three to flvo years. I will^clotho, food aud
caro for them during such period as mombors
of my own family, and give to each at least
four hours schooling per day, except Saturday,
eight months in each year, besides such instruc
tion, on Sunday, as is usually imparted in wcll-
conducted country Sabbath schools, and at least
ono hour’s instruction each day during tho re
mainder of tho year. Tho whole of the time
of tho boys, when not iu school, must bo dovot-
ed to such farm work as I may assign to- them.
Preference will bo given to boys who can plow,
aud have had some experience in tho manage
ment of horses, or tho caro of cattlo. I will
give to each boy, at tho expiration of his term
of three years, fifty dollars in cash, and of five
years ono hundred dollars. Each boy must be
of unimpeachable moral character, respectable
parentage, good disposion aud industrious hab
its. lie must bring with him all tho clothing
he may possess fit to wear, and one good blank
et, quilt or comfort. Ho may likewise bring
with him a shot gun, if he has one, and a favor
ite dog, if not of tho “ suck-egg” or “sheep-
killing” breeds. . But those, and their use, as
well as hiu own movements, must be subject
wholly to my discretion.
I will thank you, gentlemen, to make known
my proposition to tho poor boys of our State.
If any should be williug to ace,opt my terms,
please arrange to send them as soon as practica
ble (free of cost for transportation,) with a note,
in care of Hon. Robert Yerbey, or Rev. M. M.
Landrum, at Antioch Station, on the Athens
Branch Railroad -either of which gentlemen
will forward them to mo.
My plan will be in humble imitation of tho
Manual Labor System of Education with which
I aud my family have had some pleasant expe
rience since the close of the war. I am fully
satisfied that intelligent white men, boyo, and
even girls, if not afraid or ashamed to work, can
accomplish more with less labor on less land,
with greater satisfaction, and more permanent
advantage both to the Stajppand tho individual
than by the system now pursued in Georgia.—
At any rate, I am desirous of an opportunity
to practically tost tho matter; and therefore cor
dially invite those feeling an interest in my suc
cess, or at least in the well-being of a few of
the many thousands of idle boys that now
throng our cities and villages, to aid them in
reaching me. Very truty, yours,
C. It. HANLEITER.
Clu'istmnH Boon* for the Little Orphan*.
*
Tho little children who are blessed with good
and kind parents, are awake and up Christmas
morning before light. The room in which they
sleep resounds with their merry prattle. No
sooner are they awako than they stealthily
creep to the place where their stockings hang.
They find them crammed aud jammed with
good things. Seizing them with eager and ex
ulting hands, they scud away to bed again t
to await day-light. The first thing which
greets their gaze, in the morning, is a large
Christmas tree heavily laden with everything nice.
Then they are happy, oh, so happy!
Tho little orph*.n who has no father —no Santa
Claus—rises and finds his stockings empty.—
Ah, would there was a Santa Claus for alll—
His stockings being empty does not surprise
him, and ho rushes into the streets to catch
somebody’s Christmas gift—orphan girls as well
as orphan boys. Men pass; they erv, “Christ
mas gift, please!” but ho passes on and gives
them nothing. They are not noticed; if heard,
uot heeded. Those little forgotten ones tramp
up and down the streets longingly gazing into
the showy windows at the many nice things
there. They see young men, old men, boys
and ladies richly dressed, promenading the
streets supplied with all they want. They are
without them all and nobody cares or seems to
notice them.
Here comes a young man reeling under the
weight of his intoxicating draught. Tlmt little
orphan gi 1 cries, “Christmas gift, mister,
please?” There! Just as wo expected; the das
tardly scamp has trod on the littlo girl’s bare
toes. The drunken brute reels on, not even
deigning to notice the injury he had inflicted.—
Se tho blood trickling from the wound as the
little sufferer, with an “oh, lordy," stoops and
clasps tho tiny member in her little hand. Now
she is up aud* going again. Presently she will
experience a repetition of the same thing and
get nothing alter all.
Young man, in lieu of your anticipated Christ
inas spree--your getting light" one© a year”—
think of the littlo orphan and appropriate that
money to a better purpose. "While out on the
street-—look up and down. Do you see that lit
tle urchin lightly clad in rags and tattered gar
ments? They are tho best ho has—probably
his all. Call him to you. Speak kindly to him,
and ask him if he would like a Christmas pres
ent ! Then notice the joyful expression which
illumines his fair countenance. Take hold of
his arm and lead him into a store. Only look
at his feet purple with tho cold. Buy him a
pair of boots, or something which he needs
most. Notice him as he struts off inspecting
fiis present. Think of the emotions of grati
tude and happiness swelling within his littlo
bosom. Think, too, that you are the ono who
has made him happy.
Young lady, go eurly to some poor widow’s
homo, Christmas morning, aud make her and
her little ones happy with such presents as you
can afford. As thqso littlo orphans have no
Christmas tree, ask them to come and partake
of yours. Only think how glad it will make
them.
Kind parouts, look arov.nl your blazing hearth
aud comfortable fireside Christmas morning.—
Seo the many oheory laces there ! See how glad
your children are ! Think if they were orphans
—that your littlo dears had no father. Then
do uulo others as you would have them do unto
you. Give to each of. your children a small
amount aud let them go separately, and seek
some little orphan upon wliorn. to expend it.—
Do this and they will grow up beloved and
adored for their generous merits. Was there
anything ever lost by generosity and charitable
deeds ? Never ! For ‘ ‘ what does it profit a man
if ho gains the whole world and loses his own
soul.”
Our small town lias many little orphans,
though they are not*wholly forgotten. Our
good Proprietor here makes it an invariable
practice to givo them all a little treat every
Christmas. This, iudQ*d, is very kind in him.
Young ladies, gentldtaien, parents—all try aud
make this a happy Christmas for the little or
phan. Can you deny him a single boon ? Very
callous koarted indeed, if thou caust. After
Christmas is over ftlid gone, seo if you can’t
place your handover your heart and say: “ I
have made at jMwt* one little heart glad this
Christmas.” do this aud of course you
will. By almeahs do it, and your path through
life will boabjitini with flowers, and your re
ward thou^EwSt on this earth, will be iu heaven.

Josh Billings says: “Any business firm that
hasn't got sand enough in its craw to expend a
few dollars in making its business known to the
public ought to pack up and go to peddling pea
nuts.” Josh’s head was evidently “level,” as
the saying is, when he perpetrated the above.—
He deserves an obituary notice at the hands of
every newspaper in the country when he dies, as
a just return for a sensible idea. The time is
near at hand when Mr. J. Billing’s remark, as
quoted above, will be believed as gospel truth by
men who now laugh at it as nonsensical stuff.
r Mullock's Mlndcodz.
Atlanta, Ga., Dec. 14, 18CD.
Dear Sir: In answer to yours of tho 9th iust.,
1 wroto iu a vory great hurry yesterday, neglect-,
ing to mention many truths that should have a
bearing with your Committee and Congress
determining this vexed question of Georgia Re
construction, ami the status of Gov. Bullock in
connection with it. To show his connection
with an interest in the “ Kimball’s Opera Houso
Building,” a portion of which is temporarily
used as a State House, 1 will state, that Gov.
Bullock labored to secure my influence in favor
of paying said Kimball twenty-five thousand
dollars yearly rent for only a portion of tho leant
valuable part of u building that, could not have
cost Kimball over $100,000; reserving to himself
all the first story front on the main street of six
rooms, most of the entire basement story, and a
large number of rooms in the upper two*stories.
His object now is to organize the General Assem
bly, that they will purchase this building for a
State House, at about one half a million of dol
lars. In violation of law, and the action of the
Gonerol Assembly, lie drew on the Fourth Na
tional Bank, New York, for thirty-five thousand
dollars, and stated to me that thirty-one thous
and dollars of the above amount, was paid to
said Kimball on account of said Opera Building
and fixtures, and thut tho other four thousand
he user] himself; which amount lie has: never ac
counted for to the State or the Treasury. After
two Committees of the General Assembly, (one
manipulated in his own interest,) have declared
tliis act of drawing on said Bank, and the use
of the money, illegal and unauthorized, as soon
as the Legislature adjourned in March last, he
went direct t<> New York, and drew a draft on
said Fourth Na'ional Bank for twenty thousand
dollars more in favor of said Kimball; making
in all, fifty-five thousand dollars, none of which
found its way into the State Treasury of
Georgia. -And there is no telling what further
amounts he would have drawn and appropriated
himself iu violation of law, had I uot sent the
Bank a synopsis of the Code of Georgia bearing
this subject.
L’o meet these drafts, or guarantee the pay
ment, lie hypothecated 7 per cent. State Railroad
mortgage bonds, that, by special legislation,
wore to be issued only in “ renewal of bonds
then due and interest thereon,” and for “fund
ing the H ate bonds falling due or maturing in
18G8, 18CU, 1870." Two hundred and sixty-five
thousand and five, hundred dollars of these 7
per cent, bonds he lias sold, in violation ol' the
above special statute, sotting them apart for a
ipecific purpose, thus destroying the ability of
he State to comply with tho conditions of a cir-
Jhlar he instructed mo to have published; cous-
ng great and incessant murmurings by bond
holders in Europe aud in this country. The
appropriations of 1808 were only for tho last half
of the year 1808. StiU, for tho public printing
of this year, he, in violation of law, drew ton
thousand dollars back on last year, notwith
standing the House, by n vote three to one, di
rected him to charge it ns au advance on the
printing fund this year. This he did, that he
might save his twenty-five thousand dollars,
public printing fund, to silence the mouths of
the press, or subsidise them in his behalf. lie
flooded the country with proclamations, offering
as high he five thousand dollars for the apprehen
sion of a single fugitive, when the cu- tonmry
reward, heretofore, lms not exceeded two hun
dred dollars. At the same time, he i ardons those
in custody, (who have committed wilful murders)
without a trial.
3v a trick and fraud (no doubt through his
.mictions), on the last day of the last General
Assembly, us a portion ol' the Appropriation
Bill, was passed wlmt may bo called an india-
rubber-blanket sc c ti on, w i th no amount s pc ci fi ed,
yet according to tho Governor’s interpretation
and ajplication, unlimited. This is independent
of the Contingent Fund of twenty thousand
dollars for the year, which, all but a few dollars,
ho exhausted in less than six months, mostly for
“ incidental expenses Executive Department."
On this (what he makes india-rubber-blanket
section), which, if strictly construed, could
amount to but a few thousand dollars, he has
drawn nearly one hundred thousand dollars, the
greater portion in the way of patronage to buy
influence, over fifteen thousand being to fee at
torneys only as “retainers.”
While bo $©ts up sensati m telegrams,
howls of outrages committed on Union men
ami colored citizenss, he neglects to mention
tho many rapes committed by negroes on un
offending, defenseless, innocent white girls and
women. As you have seen in my reports, I.
was a Union man, opposed strenuously to se
cession. My office being headquarters of the
Union Association hero, left the .South with my
family in 1803; lived near Boston until tho close
of tlio war; roturnod South in 1805; supported
the Congressional measures of reconstruction;
voted for aud publicly supported General Gran!
for President and Bullock for Governor; have
always been classed as a “Radical" by tho Dem
ocrats; have been in nearly every Southern
State since the close of tho war, withholding
my political opinions on no occasion: known to
be a Northern man by birth and residence, till
I was 24 years old,' yet I have never been
treated with the least severity, and almost
uniformly with kindness. Public sentiment
will set itself against, ami correct what few po
litical outrages there may have been (though I
have seen none) much sooner under full recon
struction than military rule under tho direction
of Bullock, who shows his great inconsistency
and insincerity by crying outrages while he has
exercised the pardoning power until courts and
jurors lmve but little to encourage them iu the
prosecution of crime.
Instead of striving to allay bitter animosities
and promote peaco and prosperity as tho Chief
Executive of a great State, it has been and is
still bis effort to stir up hatred and s'r'.fe, that
he may got a firmer hold on Georgia by which
to exercise his usurpations and tyranny on all
who will not become his personal adherents
and accomplices in mischief aud self-interest,
which is the principal cause of the unsettled
state of public affairs in Georgia. Democrats
with him, are as good for his selfish purposes as
Republicans, and he has found not a few to
yield to his patronage. Had it been the good
fortune of Georgia to have a wiso, honest and
just Executive, the general Goj^rnment would
not at this date be troubled witn reconstruction
in Georgia, or have cause to complain of dis
loyalty iu in her borders. And you should not
mistake contempt for Bullock for dislike to the Fed
eral Government. Our best substantial men, in
cluding those who have uniformly been Union
men, and favor the Congressional plan of Recon
struction, who'feel that Georgia is theij home,
and who love good society, and order,| feel that
this is a critical time for their loved. Georgia.
The Democratic papers in the interest of Bul
lock, influenced by Ins patronage, are loud in
their denunciations of tho loth amendment,
and bitterly oppose the reseating of the expell
ed colored members. When you reflect that Re
publicans aided this expulsion, and that tlic-y
add Bullock will, secretly, if not openly oppose
their being re-seated by the General Assembly,
in order that he may secure violent Congressional
action, and that Bullock, with his adherents de
feated tho fifteenth Amendment last winter, I
cannot conceive how a Republican Congress
can sustain him. Most respectfully yours.
N. L. ANGIER,
Treasurer of Georgia.

ROPE PREFERABLE TO TIES.
•
There is not a cotton buyer iu LaGrange*, or any other
place, but what will advise planters to buy Rope every
time in the place of Ties. There are many reasons why
Rope is superior to Ties, a few of which we will mention,
viz: Ohe or two Ties burst off of nearly every bale that ia
shipped from this place; then Rope must be put in their
place, and, of course, it comes ont of tho buyer. When
they burst off, they ure perfectly worthless. Every bun
dle of Ties you buy has already iu it from two to six Ties
worthless. Rope don't give you this trouble or exponso;
it is as heavy and as cheap, and 24 per cent, more sendee-
able than Ties. FROST, HALL k CO.
