The best kind of Clubs for the South that

soon to see them formed in every county.
The Farmer’s Clubs of Polk county, in this

cotton for the year 1863.

Lamp Uhiinuoya
Often crack by being fastened on too
tightly. The screw being applied while the
chimney is cold, and often so tightly as to
prevent the glass moving at all. Os course,
when the chimney is heated, there is no
room lor them to expand, and consequently
they must break or crack. Always see that
the glass is secure, and at the same time
moves easy in the holder.

We are gratified to learn that Governor
Bullock has signed the Lottery Bill, re
cently passed by the Legislature. It is,
therefore, law, and we presume will go into
immediate effect- This will prove a very
great relief to a certain class of our people
who, for about two years past, have given
the most of their scanty earnings for the
enrichment of the lazy sharpers who have
managed the palpable swindle. We learn,
further, that, in order to prolong their ex
clusive right to obtain money under false
pretence, the rascally fellows actually at
tempted to steal the Bill from the Clerk’s
office after it had passed the two Houses ’
l.ale.i style Hat* au<t Rennets.

Hon. Howell Cobb.
We learn that the mortal remains of the
late Hon. Howell Cobb—whose sudden
death, in New York, was reported in our
dispatches on Saturday—will be interred to
day at Athens, in this Slate. Mr Cobh was
born at Cherry Hill, in Jeffersm county,
Georgia, September 7, 1815. When u child,
his father removed to Athens, Georgia, where
he has since resided, until the close of the
war, when he removed to the city of Macon,
ilu graduated at Franklin College hi 1834;
he studied law, and was admitted to the Bar
in 183 G ; was a Presidential Elector in that
year; in 1837, he received the appointment
of Solicitor General of tho Western Circuit,
which he held four years ; and he was elected
a Representative in Congress in 1842, having
been reflected in 1844, 1846, and 1848, and
during his latter term he was elected Speaker.
Ou his retirement from Congress, he was
chosen Governor of Georgia; in 1855 he was
again elected to Congress ; and on the acces
sion of Mr. Buchanan to the Presidency,
Governor Cobb went into his Cabinet as
Secretary of the Treasury. He look a promi
nent part in the rebellion of 1861, and was
a member of the so-called Confederate Con
gress, and a Brigadier General.
Personally, Mr. Coin possessed an easy,
gentlemanly address, which secured him a
host of friends. Ilis course during and since
the war is too well known to call for remark
from us.
Legal Holes of the Hoad.
We find the following rules for the
guidance of railroad travellers, in an ex
change, which says they are founded on
legal deeeisions:
“ The courts have decided that passen
gers ou railroads, can be ejected from the
cars if they do not offer the exact amount.
Conductors are not bound to make the
change.
“ All railroad tickets arc good till used ;
conditions— ‘ good for this day only,’ or
other limiting time of genuineness, are of
no account.
“Passengers who lose their tickets can be
ejected from the cars unless they purchase
others.
“ Passengers uro bound to observe de
corum in the cats, and obliged to comply
with all reasonable demands to show their
tickets.
“Standing on the platform or otherwise
■ violating the rules of the company renders
a person liable to be put off the train.
“No person has a right to monopolize
moi* seats than he pays for; and any article
left in the seat while the owner is tempo
rarily absent, entitles him to his seat on his
return.”
PriikMla Bcnriiiß Liberal TesHmoiijr.
The Medical College of Breslau, Prussia,
by command of the Government, instituted
enquiries in regard to the purity of Dr. Rad
way’s Pills. The following is a copy of the
report, after a thorough analysis, signed by
Professors of the College :
Report of an Analysis of Redway's Regu
lating Pills,
Instituted lor the satisfaction of the
Prussian Government and people. It ap
pears that the great popularity of the Pilis
throughout Germany, as an aperient, anti
billions and alterative medicine, had pro
voked the malice of the apothecaries, who
caused a report to be circulated that the
ingredients were poisonous. Therefore a
scientific inquisition into their nature and
properties was ordered, the issues of which
was a most triumphant vindication of the
sanitary value of the Pills.
The Faculty of tho College state in their
report that after a careful and minute ex
amination, they have the honor to state that
“ the Pilis are not only free from every sub
stance injurious to health, but are composed
wholly of substances and elements promotive
of digestion, and certain at the same time to
act favorably upon the nervous system,”
etc., etc. They state, further, that the inju
rious rumors set afloat by the Prussian
apothecaries originated “in a mean spirit of
trade jealousy, excited by the great celebrity
attained by the Pills within a very brief
period.’’

Putting His Make on Hub. —One of the
real old Mayo gentry, six feet four inches
high, stout in proportion, rugged us one of
his own mountain bulls, and pround as a
Breton, had attained the age of forty, and
was still unmarried. He was a constant
visitor at the house of three ladies, not over
burdened with money or blood, but the
youngest of whom was possessed of beauty
and skill in retort. Every one said it would
be a match ; but years rolled away, and the
decisive words were not spoken, though
other suitors were warned off by significant
hints from the formidable but uudeuided Mr.
Blake. One evening he called in, returning
from the fair of Castlebar, and he found the
ladies were having a few friends in an im
promptu dance. There were some officers
lately arrived from India, whose regiment
was at Castlebar, and a certain Capt.. Gra
ham and Mr. Blake's lady, ns she was gem
erally styled, fast locked in that half cm
brace the sehottische permits. The Captain
was an adept nt “houlding up,” which Irish
and a great many other ladies consider a
partner's bounded duty.
Blake's idea of waltzing was Hs prejudiced
as Byron’s ; and he had an ugly scowl on
his brow that would have frightened many
men, as the lady passed him with a slight
nod ; however, the Captain only pressed his
partner the doser.
“I am sure you willlikp die captain, for
dear Mabel’s sake ; and we rely on you to
make it pleasant for him while here,” said
the eldest sister.
Mr. Blake was standing with his back
to the fire, and drawing from his jxickct a
small branding iron, used for putting
initials on the horns of cattle, by the pur
chaser, he gave the turf a quiet poke, and
left the lettered end in the hot ashes
“ Your honor’s lost her,” whispered Pat
Casey, the old servant of the house, as he
handed negus round ; “ the captain’s less
tadious than your honor in love making.”
“ Well, Blake, you’re done,” said Mr.
Browne. “ Waited too long, my boy ; and
the captain there will carry off the finest
girl in Mayo.” -
“By heaven, then, he shall find my
mark on her !” cried Blake; and, as the
waltzers passed, he drew the brand from
the fire aud clapped the red-hot letters on
the shoulders of Miss Mabel, just above the
low dress. Os course there was a deal of
screaming and fuss, but the Indy recovered
sufficiently to become Mrs. Blake, and I
hear, never regretted the event which st
last compelled her lover to speak his
mind.
A friend of mine told me, some time
sinee, that be had been staying with the
Blakes, and he could aver that Mrs. Blake
still wore high dresses on all occasions.

The Freedmen and the Catholic
Church.- -The Roman Catholic Synod, re
cently held, gave commendable emphasis to
the decrees of the last Council of Baltimore
respecting the Freedmen, and we have great
hope that the American Catholics may be
induced to follow the traditional policy of
their Church and do something more for the
negroes than they have ever done yet. If
Catholicism is good for white people, it is
good for colored people, too, and the Roman
Church in past time lias done many good
offices toward slaves, fiir which she is ifliti
tied to lasting honor. We are glad to hear
the Bishops urging the establishment of
colored schools and orphan asylums in the
Southern States; but how tremendously sig
nificant is the reason they give for insisting
especially upon the latter work, namely,
because ‘‘from the unsettled condition of the
Southern States it is lobe feared that many
children of lhe colored race will be left
orphans.”—■Hew York Tribune.
Not so Bad.—A number of the South
ern papers are now beginning to show that
the election of Grant may not, after all,
be such a bad thing for the South. It is
possible that be may not be such a horrid
tyrant, possessed of such ferocious ideas
as they have heretofore represented. This
is one sensible step for the Southern editors.
Now, we venture to say that after Grant's
election, they will have an opportunity of
learning how totally mistaken they were in
regard to his character and principles.
And, we have no doubt that, within a year
from this time, President (irant will be as
universally popular with the people of the
Southern States as of the Northern.

Cincinnati, October 9, 1808.
Editor .l ogurta Hjoddicin :
Since my last there Ass been a decided ini
provemont in the Provision inarlteC, both in de
mand and price, for all articles except Lard.
Tho stock, proving to be lighter than was gen
orally anticipated, brought on orders, chietfy for
small amounts, but in the aggregate foot up
wet); and it has made considerable impression
on stocks, and holders succeeded in establishing
the large advance now askod. Tho lair price
realized by the South for their Cotton enables
them to pay for Provisions, which they ccr
tainly want- Tho market closes very firm, at
my quotations below, with an upward ten
dency.
But little ba; boon done; they are
freely offered at 780 on forward delivery, but
buyers do not feel iucline.d to operate to any ex-,
tent at this price.
ME.*B POKE—Owing to the light stock, has
advanced to $39.50; sales iu a small way are
made at this figure.
LARD.—There is no change to note in this
article. It is firmly held at 19]o ; jobbing, at
19}c.
STEARINE—SaIes of some were made at 19c
—l9]c generally asked.
BULK MEATS have been iu good request all
the wook. Stock being light, holders succeeded*
in advancing the price. Owing to the light
offerings, it is difficult to give accurate quota
lions. Shoulders are firmly held at 120, rib
sides 14 Jc, clear rib and clear nominal at 15} and
Ifijc all loose.
BACON, in sympathy with llulk, is also
higher. Ihe demand has been good I quote
shoulders Life, rib sides 16c, clear rib Ifijfc,
eloar 17}c —fair demand jo less. Hams uro
dull—». C. 18 to 19c, Jilain 14} to 15}c—cab
vassed and packed.
PLATE BEEF dull al 17.1 m to 18.
EXPORTS of the week were 780 barrels, 151
kegs Lard) 1,486 hogsheads, 199 tierce.; 20,21)0
pounds Bulk and Bacon, and 428 barrels Pork.
IMPORTS—63 barrels Lard and 80 barrels of
Pork.
