Macon and Brunswick Railroad.—
Attention is called to the advertisement of
this Road elsewhere fouud. The road
is progressing most rapidly and sat
isfactorily, and constant work will be
given to able-bodied hands. We have
every assurance that by n?xt fall, it will
be read? for transportation of the crop
of that year.
Encouraging —We have hopes even
ot Massachusetts. The attendance at the
common soUools of Now Euglaud shows
a decided falling off iu tire last two years,
owiug to au actual decrease in the num
ber of children- The average number in
each family used to fceseveu. Now, how
ever. it is only four. Iu many towns the
deaths exceed Mm births, and ouiy the
immigration or foreigners keeps up the
genorml standard of the population.

NORTHERN CIVILIZATION.
The public print* of those especially fa
vored portion* of tbl* glorious United
States, known as the North and West, are
just now full of snob pleasant little episodes
as wholesale hanging* by mobs, carving
men into hash in oyster saloons, and
throwing rich old ladies out of their own
second story windows, by their daughters
and 9ons-in-iaw. We read them with
mingled horror and wonder—horror that
any system of civilization, no matter bow
rotten, should have such croppings out,
and wonder that any people whose skirts
so reek with blood, should have tbe brazen
audacity to point the finger of reproach,
and wag the tongue of condemnation at
the sins of other*. -We are in tbe habit,
too, of reading alongside just such occur
rences, diatribes upon the barbarism of
rebellion, and it* sequences, Ku-Klux out
rages, and “rebel” cruelties to white and
black “loilists,” so that tbe justice and
propriety of these very black pots calling
the kettle names, is delightfully apparent.
The exact troth about this matter is just
this, both with reference to the North and
South : Neither section ought, of right,
to be held responsible,for; the
and outrages perpetrated by the very worst
speeim •) i 5 ns.
Crime prevails, and wili’prevailjn every
community, no matter how scorned, and
fought, and vigorously attacked by tbe
law and its ally, public opinion. There
can be no Utopia while men and women
are as we find them now. We at the
South recognize this fact, and are willing
to allow its pleadings to be hearth even in
behalf of those who have most despitefully
used us. Our good friends at tbe North,
though, ate not so tolerant. They say we
are woh-e than any people upon the face
of the earth ; that we are all responsible
for the outrages of the few outlaws who
commit tiiem ; that it result* from tbe
fact that we were, and are, “rebels” and
“traitors,” and don’t love “loyalty” and
its professors; and that, as a corollary, we
deserve dire punishment—the Northern
horrors of course being merely incidental,
and not worthy of remark. It strikes us
that this is a very fair statement of the
case. How it shall be treated, Is a very
simple question. Its answer will be found
in an earnest and manly application of tbe
Golden Rule to the Northern heart and
conscience. We do not cherish a very
lively hope that any such Millenium is
near at hand, but it is none tbe lesß our
duty aud our pleasure to invoke it.
lIOW TO DO THE JOB.
General Grunt is sending all disposable troops
to Sheridan for service against the Indians. That
is he is taklug them from Northern recruiting of
fices and barracks, and in no case from the South.
Soldiers in the South are not “disposable” troops.
[ Western Paper.
Take them along. We cau spare every
man stationed South of the Potomac river.
We have no objection either to officers or
men, in tbe main, remaining among us, for
they behave themselves well, and show no
great love for scalawags and kindred ver
min. But (bey are not needed here, aud
are, out West. Therefore let them go
where they cau be put to some use.
By tbe way, would it not be well to in
quire into tbe expediency of organizing a
corps of carpet-baggers to do this Indian
job? Sheridan says the whites and the
Indians cannot live on the plains together,
aud advises the removal of the latter, aud
the purchase of their lauds by the Govern
ment. The carpet bagger cau get it cheaper
than that. They will steal it all in forty days
if turned loose, and are well paid for the
job. We name Bryant for leader. If Clift
aud Prince are associated with him,-they
will steal the Indians, themselves, if de
sired.
By all means let them have a chance at
the job.
The Charleston Phosphate Trade.
This trade is looking up decidedly. A
schooner bringing machinery for the
Charleston Mining and Manufacturing
Company has just sailed for Philadelphia,
with a return cargo of 440 tons, and a
company, with a capital of $1,000,000, has
leased a large mill in Charleston, and will
forthwith erect works on a large scale for
manufacturing fertilizers out of ft. The
News says that the effect of the discovery
of this phosphate is being very perceptibly
felt with reference to other fertilizers. A
house in New York that used to sell $50,000
worth of one kind in Charleston, alone,
per annum, are now storing it, not only
there, but as far West as Cincinnati—the
demand for the Carolina article exceeed
ingall others.
The Fruit and Vegetable Canning
Business in Baltimore.— From an ad
dress delivered recently before the Anne
Arundel (Md.) Agricultural Association,
by its President, Hon. E. J. Henkle, we
extract the following interesting statistics
of the exteut and importance of this busi
ness.
It now ranks as the third business in
Baltimore city in its proportions.
Thus with the season made perennial, at
least tive millions of capital is directly in
vested iu it; and the amount invested di
rectly or indirectly, in all its collateral
branches, must- beat leastthreetimes that
amount. .. -
More than three millions of dollars, it
is estimated, have been expended in Balti
more the past season in fruits and vegeta
bles alone.
The sales of one house alone in three
months amount to more than $70,000 iu
goodsof their own manufacture.
There are about fifty of these establish
ments in Baltimore city, to three or four
1:, Philadelphia, aud Dot more than six In
New York. ,
The Bureau in Georgia. —After the
Ist of January next, concern wRI be
organized in Georgia as follows. It is to
be hoped the arrangement will drive the
horde of slanderous beggars wbo have
been fattening upon the people for the
past three years, to some sort of honest
labor.
One assistant commissioner and chief superin
tendent of schools, one disbursing officer for the
educational department and payment of bounties,
one agent for the payment of bounties, four assist
ant superintendents of schools, and three clerks.
The Cornfields of the Great West,
—a gentleman writing from Illinois to a
frieud in Boston, says ;
“ While out bunting, two weeks ago, I
was iu some cornfields which belong to a
man named Sullivan. He probably owns
more laud than any farmer iu the Btate.
He is the proptietor of nine townships,
each six miles square. This year be has
25,000 acres of corn. This seems like a
b g story, but it is nevertheless true It
was just the easiest thing in the world to
get lost in his cornfields. I strayed into
one field and walked four and a half miles
before I came to the end of the row of corn
which I followed.”

Hen. Grant I* tbe Secretary of War.
liSADQCARTBRS ARMY U. 8., I
Washington, Nov. 24. )
Gen. J. M. Schofield, Secretary of War:
Sib: I have the honor to submit the reports of
Division, District, and Department Commanders,
for the past year. These report* give a full account
of the operations and service* of the army for the
year, and I refer you to them for details. I would
earnestly renew my recommendation of last year,
that the control of the Indians be transferred to
the War Department. I call special attention to
the recommendation of Gen. Sherman on the sub
ject It has my earnest approval. It is unneces
sary that the arguments in favor of the transfer
should be re-stated. The necessity for it becomes
stronger and more evident every day. While the
Indian war continues I do not deem any general
legislation for the reduction of the army advisable.
The troopsjon the plains are all needed. Troops
are still needed in the Southern States, and further
reduction can be made in the way already used and
now in operation where it is safe, namely: by
allowing companies to diminish by discharges
without being strengthened by recruits, and by
stopping appointments of Second Lieutenants. If
it should be deemed advisable the veteran reserve
regiments might be discontinued by absorption
and retirement of officers and discharge of men
without detriment to the service.
Very respectfully, your obedient servant,
U. S. Grant, General.

South Carolina Legislature.
Charleston, Nov. 30.—Gov. Scott to-day sent his
message to the Legislature. He takes an encoura
ging view of the position of affairs in this State, and
gives substantial reasons for his belief that no State
of the Union is moiv solvent or has a fairer pros
pect of meeting all her liabilities. The aggregate
receipts of the State Treasury for the six months
ending October 31st, have been $435,572, and ex
penditures for same period $409,688.
The Governor recommends that the donation of
land made by the United States Government be
devoted to the establishment of an Educational In
stitute in Charleston, for instructions in Agricul
ture, Mechanic Arts and the higher brandies of
Scientific and Classical studies.
Be denounces all turbulance and lawlessness)
and strongly deprecates secret political organiza
tions, and in concluding bis message, he says:
“The general elections have passed, and the po
litical issues involved, which so fiercely agitated
the country, having been determined for a consid
erable period, it is devoutly to .be hoped that the
community may be indulged in a much needed re
spite from the passions and excitements to which
it lias so long been subjected; and that our people
may be enabledj'to turn their attention to the de
velopment and improvement of their material re
sources, which have been so sadly impaired and
neglected.
“It gives me much pleasure to state that assur
ances have been received, both previous and sub
sequent to the election, from many of the most
prominent men of the State, heretofore in active
opposition to the government, of their regret at
the occurrence of these outrages, and their detes
tation for their authors, as well as of their deter
mination to yield a willing obedience to the Con
stitution and laws, relying on the peaceful exercise
of their rights at the ballot box to remedy what
ever they may deem objectionable in them. This
determination has exerted, and cannot but con
tinue to. exert, a favorable influence upon the
property of the State and the tranquility Los its
people, stimulating its industry apd giving charac
ter and credit to its enterprises.
“Recognising with pleasure these evidences of
returning good feeling, and wishing to reciprocate
every indication of an approach to friendly'rela
tions, I would reiterate the recommendations cj
my last message in favor of a liberal policy on the
part of the Legislature in reference to the removal
of all political disabilities. While upon the sub
ject of our past differences, I would-take occasion
to express the hope that national politics will
occupy hereafter a much less prominent position in
the affairs of the State and in the minds of the
people than heretofore. Political issues having
been determined for years to come, at least, there
is but little propriety in keeping up political agita
tion.”
Meade Wants More Power.
Washington, Nov. 30.—Meade’s report gives a
detailed accouat of his operations. He was applied
to from ail parts of the States under his command
to remove occupants from office and appoint others

suggests that more power be given the Department
Commanders.

The President'* Message.
The Washington correspondent of the
Boston Poet writes-as fallows to that paper
concerning the forthcoming message of
President Johnson:
President Johnson has completed the
rough draft of liis annual message, and he
congratulates himself upou the fact that
it is to be bis last. He says that no man
has ever surrendered official responsibility
with a moiety of the pleasure witli which
he will vacate the chair. His message
will vindicate, at much length, tbe past
policy of his administration. Not, he says,
for the purpose of convincing those to
whom it is addressed, but to place on
record a full vindication of his official
action. The message reviews the Recon
struction Acts and compares the Recon
struction policy of Cougress with the poli
cy of his administration as viewed iu the
light of the Constitution as well as upon
their intrinsic merits, as plana for restor
ing peace and prosperity to a distracted
eountry. President Johnson is better sat
isfied than ever of the wisdom of the plan
of restoration which he proposed, and
says that time has tended to establish
the fallacy of Congressional Reconstruc
tion. Referring to the general shock
which the Constitution had received at the
hands of the dominant party, be cites cases
of tyranny aud outrage which were its
necessary results This portion of the
message closes with an eloquent appeal to
the Americau people to stand by the
Union of the Btates, but at the same time
never to forget that the Constitution is the
sheet anchor of their freedom. There is
much in the message, it is said, to remind
the country s os Washington’s farewell
address, and it may be that President
Johnson had this immqctad document iu
mind while dictating his last message, the
details of which are understood to be in a
great measure similar to the message sent
to Congress one year ago.

REVOLT IN THE INTERIOR.
When the stomach is rebellious, the liver con
tumacious, the bowels disordered, the brain coa
fused. and the nerves in a tnmult, call in the aid
of HOSTETTER’S STOMACH BITTERS, if you
would restore quiet, regularity and harmony to
the action of these important organs. A large
proportion, of-foe complaints to which the human
family are subject originate in indigestion. For
this distressing maiady, and parent of innume
rable ailments as distressing as Hself, the BIT
TERS are the only article proved by experience
to be a universal and unfailing remedy. Bnt
although ft was as a remedy for dyspepsia and
“biliousness that they first obtained prettige twen
ty years ago, it is now well understood, both by
the public and the medical profession, that their
curative properties take a far wider range. In
nervous complaints, spasmodic affections, fever
and ague, and every variety of general and local
debility, their effect Is most salutary ; and as a
means of preparing the system to resist damp,
cold, poisonous elements in the water or the air,
privation, exposure, Ac., no medicinal agent at
present known can be justly compared with this
powerful yet hardness tonic. The feeble and sen
sitive, who can ril withstand the inclemency of
the winter season, will find the BITTERS exactly
the article they need to fortify and sustain them.
In the active pursuits of pleasure or gain, foe
inestimable blessing of health is too often forgot
ten, until disease is firmly seated, and the fact only
