Citizens’ Ticket Complete.
We hare the uttsfoctlon of announcing that the vs*
cancy on the Citizen*’ Ticket, occasioned by the resigna
tion of Dr. SosavsR, Dr. Bulloch and Dr. Arnold, has
been Oiled by the nomination of Gaoaos W. Anderson,
Isaac Couer and Fear as Sobbbl.
Wo can not imagine a more pointed and dignified re*
buke than that which has here been administered. A
political party, desirous of Introducing the tariff, bank
and other party questions into our municipal elections,
puts forth a party ticket with the name* or Messrs. Sere*
wen, Arnold and Bullock upon It Another class of dtl-
. sens, anxious to save the city from the unscrupulous rule
of tbo pant«»n, and to have Its affairs administered for
the good ortho whole people, nominated an independent
ticket composed of men of all parties, Whigs and Demo-
v crata, Union Men and Southern Rights Men. Believing,
moreover, that Messrs. Screven, Arnold and Bullock
would make good Aldermen, these citizens place them
upon tbelr ticket also. This was a complement of which
most men would Teel proud, especially os It Insured their
election beyond all doubt. Not so however, with the
three recusant gentlemen. They "respectfully decline 1 *
• the honor.
It la to fill the places thus vacated, that Messrs. Arpex
■or, Sobbbl and Cohbe have come forward. And who
are the men who have thus come forward? Need wo
say they are men of age, of high character, of large ex
perience-men too, who have great Interests at stake. If
the city had been picked over, three more competent and
respectable men could not have been found. Aa much
therefore, as we esteem the gentlemen who ‘‘respectfully
decline” the support of their fellow-citizens, we most
say, on a review of the whole matter, that we do not
think the ticket baa suffered by tbs change.
Independent of the general reason of capacity, we may
mention an additional consideration which influenced
Citizens to put the three recusant gentlemen upon their
ticket They were actuated by the desire to relieve tbelr
action of every thing that savored ot party, and to give
to all parties and sections of parties their legitimate rep
resentation In the government of th* nit*, it waa soon
that our system was a rldoua one, and that U was annu-
m nj nmk uiiuiigu H*v .j.-.j .r a nitiqjO ana
exacting party drill. It was not necessary to
blame to any particular set of men. It waa enough to
know that oar system was a defective one, and that it
waa used to promote the wishes or selfish place-men.
- This posture of onr city affairs it waa, that caused
• such profound surprise when it was heard yesterday
morning that Doctors Soaxvax, Akhold, and Bulloch,
had refosed to accept the suffrages of say portion or
their follow-dtlzena—most or all those who were the
■ avowed supporters of the citizen’s ticket. We regard
the alternative at which these gentlemen have arrived,
as one of the most signal political mistakes that have
ever occurred within our observation. Dr. Scseyer,
(the gentleman knows how much pleasure we take in
saying this,) has placed hlmselT above all parly by the
. eulnent services which be la rendering to ibis city. But
he does not permit us, by his published declaration, to
tote for him, unless we vote at the same time for his
colleagues, many of whom cannot command, and never
• Trill command the confidence of the people or 8avannab.
It is upon A it ticket alone that he must be supported—
not upon a cltlzen’a ticket We accept the Issue which
be baa tendered, and regret to apply the same remarks
to the case of Dr. Axrolo, who seems to have forgotten
that be’bas rejected the votes of numbers of the very
men, who, one year since, with much hard work, elected
him Mayor or this dty, when he ran against the regular
nominee of those with whom ho is now serving, lie
was a Democrat Unt, but we took pleasure in sup.
porting him, Ho is a Democrat mm, but be must
excuse us for not offering Incenae to his new friends
and associates. There U reason to believe that to
to both these gentlemen the nomination on the citizens’
ticket was originally acceptable, but that they were star-
- tied from tbelr first propriety, and yielded (we hope and
believe with reluctnance) to an outside pressure which
was brought to bear upon them.
We repeat again—the gentlemen have preferred a
nomination by a party—a portion of the people—to that
of the entire community. If elected, they will represent
• a party, and not lAt wAult of their fellow citizens.
While upon this subject, we feel It to be our duty to
advert to tbs manly independence exhibited by Mr. La-
- max. Though nominated on his party ticket, and xa good
a Democrat as the best of them, be slid has not thought
Rnocesssry to forbid the support of another class or his
fellow-citizens. • While bis political principles remain
unlmpeacbed, this step will secure to him tbo respect and
esteem of all right-thinking men.
. The Mechanic Art*.
We happened to seethe other day, accidentally, some
drawings made by one of our young townsmen—Mr.
Win. 8. Solomons—son of 8. Solomons, Esq., factor in
this dty. They are descriptive of the Steam Engine—are
done In water colors, some of them comprising the com
plete machine, others croaa-eectlons or certain portions,
and others again give the several parts with minute de
tail. This young man baa wlsdyaelecled the pnrauHof
• machinist. Be has already taken lessons in drawing
three months, with Jno. Kerr the President of the Frank-
lln Institute in Philadelphia, and U now going through
with all the drudgery and hand-work or his calling un
der the charge of the Messrs. Ladlson. Here bo will
remain 8 or 3 years, and then go North to perfect himself
yet timber. Alter that, he will return here, leads care
ful and Industrious life, with business enough demanding
hla attention, and the ability with Industry, to accumulate
* modest fortune.
The example of Hr. Solomons should be followed by
more of our young inen. Tho so stylod teamed proles-
- ■■slons are so overstocked that only xfew find remuneration
; for thalr services. Hero is another field opening, that
; requires Ituming too. A good machinist must under
stand many selentlflo principles relative to the pressure
and action of steam, the strength of materials Ac, Ac.
i Be has enough to learn and put In practice. It la this
Tory knowledge to which commerce Is so much indebted,
‘ - and which adds so much to the comforts, and embellish
ments of civilized UTe. If there were no intelligent me
chanics among ns, society would (fallback suddenly more
than a century—Progrut—of which we talk ao much,
would bo JUirugrttiim. Wo can dispense with Jaw
and medicine much more easily than with these arts, with
which the health and happiness of all communities are to
Intimately connected. There to an ample field here for
• pur young men—why do not more of them occupy it?

counU balanced, that the receipts from Uis Churches have
only exceeded the expenditure# for missionary labor, by
about forty dollars, the whole expense of Executive ma
chinery being defrayed by private munificence. This,the
speaker remarked, to not aa ltahouldbot It being the
duty or the Church as * body to pay for Its own work.
In a comparison or Synods as tp tbo ratio of contribu
tions, according to tbo standard or. membership, it ap
pears that the Synod of Georgia rlqks second, that of
Now York being Jlrst. But even New York contribute#
only lath* proportion of S8 cents per member. Georgia
has employed during the past year 14 to lfimiasionaries
at an expense or 11000, drawing on tho Botfd for
more than she contributed to IL
The Board of Domestic Missions has two "principal
Treasuries, one at Philadelphia, and the other at'Louls-
vl»le, Ky. Tho latter, the speaker was understood ft say,
collects and disburses for 8 Synods and 57 Preaby tel^es,
and baa usually been obliged to draw on tho Treasur
Philadelphia to meet a considerable surplusage of
pendlturee. But tho Western Executive Committee has'
lately, adopted the commendable reeolutlon to tnako an
effort at selNustentatlon, and to collect within their own
bounds all that they are callod to expend there. Through
out his address, tho speaker earnestly urged this princi
ple of self-supply, in respect both of men aud means,
upon the Synods and Presbyteries, as the principle most
honorable, manly, and Christian. He thought no lower
standard of effort should bo adopted. In bringing tho
Church up to this point, he thought tho only efficient
instrumentality to be that of ministers and pastors, not
of travelling agents. The ministry mainly must Infuse
the spirit, and fkn the flame, of a systematic and expan
sive Christian liberality. When that It attained, the
streams of benevolonco will flow, not with an uncertain
and fluctuating, but with a foil and steadily increasing
volume Into tho Lord's treasury. Tho agents or the
Church’s beneficence will then know what to count upon,
and can, without fosr, project their plana of doing good
accordingly. In this connexion the example of a young
minister in Georgia Presbytery was referred to aa worthy
of Imitation.
The work of Church Extension, a department of labor
under the control of tho Board, was then adverted to, by
the speaker. This consists tn affording pecuniary assist
ance to feeble congregation* in the erection of houses of
worship. Oftentimes the supplementary aid or one or
two hundred dollars to x wads' flock in finishing their
church edifice, will prove of invaluable service, freeing
them from burdensome debt, and encouraging tbelr
hearts and strengthening tbelr bands in the support of a
pastor. It to thus seen that thla work Is Indispensable in
lending complete efficiency to the other and higher voca
tion ortho Board.
Tho department of Church Extension has been 8 years
In operation, during which period 70 or 80 churches
have, by it* aid, boen completed, at an expenditure of
•40,000, of which sum $10,000, only, were contributed by
tho churches. Tho remainder baa been furnished by be
nevolent Individuals, x single nun having paid out for
this object twenty or twenty-five thousand dollars. It
was stated, aa by no means creditable to the Synod of
Georgia, that sbe bad received for purposes of Church
Extension within her bounds about $800, and had con
tributed but fifteen i This censurable neglect of her
churches the speaker animadverted upon.
In pursuance of tho self-sustaining principle. It was
stated that since April last S3 Missionary Churches had
gone offthe hands of tho Board, and others were expect
ing to become Independent In the course of the year. The
assistance of the Board, to, In the nature of things, de
signed to be but temporary, and Its policy looking to that
end Is no new policy.
Tho extent of the Domestic Missionary field came under
review. The population of our country is 83,000,000, and
tho lncreaso by immigration Is estimated to be 1000 per
day, or 330,000 to 373,000 per year. This increase to
mostly from the Ignorant, unevangellzed, and down
trodden masses of Europe. What a corrupting virus to
be Instilled Into a population not undeprnved itself I—
Nothing but the Divine Spirit and tbo Gospel of Christ
could have neutralized Its effects, and prevented disas
trous results. Under these circumstances, energetic Do-
mestic Missionary effort to indispensable to the preserva
tion or our c»41 and religious liberties. In the prosecution
of tills effort, many or our older Stales, aa Pennsylvania,
North Carolina, Georgia, and Kentucky, need as much
attention as any of our newer ones. This necessity arises
from the fact that, beside the large foreign Immigration
they are receiving, they have had extensive vacant terri
tory, which has but recently come into market and been
settled. The coal and iron regions of Pennsylvania and
the Southwestern portion of Georgia were given as ex
ample*.
The speaker adverted to the great paucity of candi
dates for the ministry, complained of uot only by bis own
denomination, but also by every other. This aeknowl-
~'ired and lamented fact was traced, he said, to various
causes, o—• have M r to tho scanty »«Poort too
generally allowed our ministry, eume, to the neglect of
ministers and pastnra tn seeking out plon* young men
sulled to tills office, and urging them ~ ““Mw prayer
folly their duty in regard to It «oine to the absence of
proper Influence from i»ious teachers and professors In
Colleges. And others still, to (he fsilure of parents to
dedicate their sons to this sacred office In infancy. The
speaker thought some or all of theee might have their
Influence, but he considered them subordinate and Inci
dental In their operation. The true source of the diffi
culty lies farther back in the cause of all these causes—
tkt went of a genuine and wide-tprtad revival of religion.
Give us this, and all these obstacles will subside or whol-
ly disappear. Who ever heaid of a time when converts
to Christ were multiplied like drops of morning dew, but
that candidates for the ministry appeared In like propor
tion? Let prayer to tho Lord of the harvest for an In
crease of laborers, be accompanied by earnest and pre
vailing supplication for a revival of bis work. While
acknowledging this state of things, the Interesting and
encouraging fact was noticed that out of a class ot four
teen graduating atlbetato Commencement of Oglethorpe
University, thirteen were pious, and teu have the minis
try In view. This waa recognized os calling for special
gratitude, and commending still more emphatically this
Institution of the Church to her affections and prayers.
Dr. Jones closed by referring to a noble sentiment of
the English historian, Macaulay, In which he spoke of the
revolutions of the last five years, and represented England
and the Continent as standing to each other In the same
relation as Goshen to the land of Egypt in the plague of
hall—when u (be Lord sent thunder aud hail, and the fire
ran along upon the ground,” but “in the land of Goshen,
where the children of Israel were, was there no halL”—
Tho eloquent writer ascribes the preservation of England
from the convulsions that rent her sister kingdom, to her
free and noble Constitution, on which her security waa
immovably fixed. But not to our Constitution, primarily,
said the speaker, do I ascribe our equal quiet and secu
rity amid these up-beavals and convulsions of society.—
But our broad shield to an open Bible, and a pure and
widespread Gospel. These give us light amid the general
darkness of the world, and peace amid the convulsive
throes of nations. And these, it to our atm to send tor
and wide through the whole extent of our vast and grow
ing country.

Meters. Editors.—Aa an old inhabitant, I was much
gratified at the announcement ot the ticket by the Citi
zens for Msyor and Aldermen. From a personal knowl
edge of the parties who composed that ticket, I (here
thought I saw, wbat I have long desired to witness—the
exclusion of politics from our municipal elections. Says
J, to myself, “well, after many years, things are at last
getting as they should be—our beloved dty to now look
ed forward to by our dtlzens from the seaboard to the
mountains. A spirit which ought to be fostered, has
arisen to make Savannah wbat she to destined to be—the
queen City of the South.”
But this morning, on taking up your paper, A Card

ical distinctions In our munidpal elections. 1 have lived
through some “ Reigns of Terror” In this our good city,
but so bold a Card evlnclngcontempt for the toolings of a
large number of respectable citizens, has never before
met my view. Enough said. Fcllou-ciUtene oT nil par
ties, be true to yourselves, discard politics, and all who
would prow their consideration. Consign the signers of
the Card to that retirement they so Justly merit. . It may
prove a salutary blessing to others, that they cannot in
sult with impunity, the free offering of any portion of
their fellow-citizens.

This Is one of the numerous works which owe their

us, though it does not profess to be an answer to it The
work contains some correctly drawn pictures of Southern
life, and the writer, who, we presume, Is a Northern man,
evidently designs to show the great Importance of sus
taining the efforts at colonization in Liberia.
Recollections op a New Enolard Bride, ahd of a
South a er Matron. By Caroline Gilman. N. York:
G. P. Putnam.
This work was written by Mrs. Gilman, of Charleston,
tf. Carolina, and It well deserves to be read at the fire
sides of Georgia. This lady already occupies a rather
enviable position among Southern author*. 8he will
long be grateTUBy remembered for what •>-- aira»*«-
given to the public. In the w«-\ * o7 ” u *> howover, we
recognize the r**»“ ** ‘ uo ™ rea,lln 8 ■»* of more nurture
well digested—than we are accustomed to
look for In similar works. The book contains many
faithful pictures of Southern domestic life, and many re
flections which may be considered with advantage by all
classes of readers, particular!} those of the gentler sex.
These remarks apply particularly to **recollection of a
SoutAtm Matron,” which occupies the gteater part of
the volume. “TAs recollections of a Mew England Bride”
coining In as an addenda, are written to an excellent
vein, and with a well sustained spirit. Tbeso chapters
relate the adventures of a house-keeper who Is generally
“Mistress of herself, though china fall”—
and It contains admirable suggestions on the duties of a
good wife.

to considerable. Tho factory business is entirely done
for, for a long time to come. The heavy stone reservoir
which cost two years of hard labor and the expenditure
or 940,000, Is to ruins—the whole of the lower part and
a large section of tho eastern wall gone. The machinery
to (he Variety Works, the Palace Mills and all the facto
ries, except the Coweta, which stands at the dam across
the river, to stopped. Meantime four or five hundred
operatives, and the families depending on their labor,
amounting, we suppose, to not less than eight hundred
persons, are thrown out of employment, and the means
of earning a livelihood.

unheslstlngly refused to listen. Mr. Law, it seems, had
e nick of his bargain; ’ could, up to that dale, find

were ufreallzed.

A New Species of Slavery.—A Havana correspon
dent of the Newark Daily Advertlst says:
“There Is a wicked commerco Just beginning with
Yucatan. Young boys are Imported and hired out at
slave# for a term of years, their owners being allowed to
whip them In the same manner as negroes. It seems to
roe ibat the Consuls of other nations should prevent this
Indian slavery, and our Government ought to Insist upon
tbe authorities of Yucatan, the discountenance of such an
arrangement as now exists between this Island and their
country. Indians no doubt are troublesome to Yucatan,
but selling them into slavery to a very wicked way or
getting rla of them.”
Railroad Srsan.—8pesklng of speed, aalda wag, tbe

spit out of (lie wlodow at Pcekshlll, and hit a roan at
Sing Slog. Tbe telegraph poles looked like a close pick
et fence, and on going to Uie end of the train, I found we
had a rope walk and ten pin alley In tow, each filled with
a brick—both stuck straight out like the tall ora kite,
without touching Uie track—and were used merely to
steady the cars.**
Ice and Snow'.—The Albany Journal states that Ice
