LARGEST CyrrCIKCILATION,
AVSVBTA. QA.i
THURSDAY MORHIKG Oai. IT. ISM
MitrepmenUtion.
Our reader* all know how faithfully
the etiemiu of the South labor to mis
represent us, and to circulate false state
ments in regard to onr treatment of
treedmen, etc. Iu order to refute some
of these statements in reference to a
portion of our own State, the people of
Henry county held a meeting, and in
compliance with a request of the meet
ing, we here append the proceeding* :
McDonough, Gx., Oct 8, 1860.
After adjournment of the morning
session of the County Court ot Henry
country, Ga., to day, a meeting of the
citisens of said county was called, and
organised by calling Elijah Foster to
the chair, and A. M. Campbell requested
to act as secretary.
On motion, the Chairman requested
Col. G. M. Nolan to explain the object
of the meeting, which he did in a clear,
concise, and forcible manner.
It was then moved that A committee
of thirteen be appointed to report mat
ters for the consideration of (he meeting,
which committee of the follow
ing citizens:
Colonel Geo. M. Nolan, Chairman ; A.
W. Turner, Archibald Broom, R. M.
Walker, Henry C. Merritt, John John
son, Charles T. Zachry, Levi H. Turner,
Lewis Coleman, Smith H. Griffin, E.
Cagle, W. R. Henry, and Benjamin N.
McE night.
The committee then retired, and after
a few moments deliberation reported,
through their chairman, the following
preamble and resolutions:
Whxrbas, For months past reports
have occasionally reached our county
that as citizens we were charged with
disloyalty and lawlessness; that our op
position to the Bureau of Freedmen,
etc., was open ar.d hostile; that “night
hawks,” or “jay-hawks” literally swarm
ed within our borders; that the press in
some parts of the country, and a promi
nent journal in the city of New York
have published that three hundred or
ganized “jay-hawks” infest the country;
that it is impossible for public offenders
and violators of the law to be brought
to justice; that the courts and jurors are
alike slow and unreliable in thendjninis
tration of the law. And whereas, a de
tachment of United States soldiery are
now quartered in our county—their ap
pearance among us, doubtless, attribut
able to the above, or similar reports.
And whereas, longer silence on our part,
or a failure to express ourselves would
be great injustice to us as a county,
therefore, in meeting be it
Resolaed, That as a county we have
been terribly represented; that morally,
socially, and politically, we have noth
ing to fear in comparison with our sister
counties of Georgia, and certainly noth
ing to fear from any section, North or
South, that would thus wantonly traduce
Resolved, Thai the citizens of Henry
are law-abiding, and that the courts and
juries are ready, in every case, to
measure oat justice with an even hand,
without regard to position, person or
color. That we indignantly repel the
reported charge, which stings our honor
and pride, that impartial juries cannot
he obtained in Henry county.
Resolved , That we suppose it is in
consequence ofsuch aspersions upon the
integrity and impartiality of jurors of
the county, that the commanding officer
of said detachment here, in pursuance
of orders, has, after making some ar
rests, forwarded the prisoners to distant
posts, without a day’s notice to said
prisoners, and without specification of
the offense! wherewithal they arc
charged. And this, too, when the civil
authorities had expressed, in writing to
said commander, a perfect readiness
and willingness to take cognizance of
the cases, and fully investigate charges.
But it is due to state that said com
mander, Captain Lord, has courteously
proposed to foiward the said communi
cation of the civil authorities to General
Tilsoo.
Resolved, That so far as we know and
believe, even the occasional difficulties
which have occurred between the whites
and blacks have been magnified, yea,,
shamefully misrepresented by evil, de
signing persons, and by none more so
than the agent of the Bureau at this
place; he doubtless having thought it
necessary thus highly to color (and per
haps to manufacture) reports in order
to establish, as a fixed fact, the neces
sity of an agency here, and to secure to
himself that agency or appointment.
Resolved, Until this date we have
forborne a public expression of opinion
of this agent, because it was unpleasant
so to do. We now declare, as our t 00l
and settled opinion, that a large propor
tion ot the trouble which has occurred
in the county, is directly traceable to
him and his indiscretion —that wo be
lieve, from having known him for many
years, many of us, that he is, morally
and intellectually, utterly disqualified
for the position he' holds. Wc, there
fore, respectfully recommend, to the
proper authorities, his early removal,
and the appointment of Quinces It.
Nolan, Ordinary of said county, or any
other geutlemau of honesty and iutclli
eence as his successor, believing that
such action would be as otl poured upon
the troubled water, and would restore
perfect peace and quiet.
Resolved, Though in this, as in other
counties, there have been occasional
acts of violence, yet such action on the
part of any man, or set of men,
heartily condemn, and trust, ere long,
by honest endeavor, and stern enforce
ment of the law, to prevent the perpetra
tion of such offences.
Resolved, Thai the authorities con
trolling the tame aw most respectfully
requested to return to this county any
citizen that has been, or may be ar
rested under may charge cognisable by
the courts, in order that the legal rights
of defendants, and the constitutional
guarantees vouchsafed to them may be
observed, and we believe that the law
will be fully vindicated in this, as in any
county in the State, or anywhere else.
Resolved, It is stated that the citizens
of Henry county recommended the agent
here for said appointment, but we have
labored in vain to find a single man who
signed said recoin mendalion.
Resolved, That the proofedings of this
meeting be published iu the Atlanta
Inielligeneer and the Savannah Herald,
and that the Griffiu and Augusta papers
be requested to copy } and that a copy
o' these resolutions be forwarded to
General Davis Tilson.
Upon the reading of the resolutions
serial im, they were urn nraously adopted
by the meeting, which was composed of
a large number ot the citizens of Henry
county. Elijah Fostkr, Chrirman.
A. M. Campbell, Secretary.
A Chamber of Commerce.
We have, on several occasions, urged
upon the merchants of Augusta the
greit importance of establishing a
Chamber of Commerce here. The
advantages of such an institution are
so apparent, that we deem any extended
argument in its favor, totally unnecessa.
ry; but we do not understand why our
merchants should exhibit so much
apathy in regard to it. Perhaps they
know their interests better than we
do, and view the subject in a different
light; but its importance and benefits
elsewhere are so great and so obvious
as to convince us that we are right, and
that the establishment of such an insti
tution here would be greatly beneficial
to the merchants of Augusta.
A Board of Underwriters has been
organized, and the next step is the
Chamber of Commerce. Let our busi
ness men exhibit a spirit of enterprise
and energy commensurate with the age
in which they live, and worthy of the
City and State in which they reside.
Apropos of this subject, wo give the
following from the Rome (Ga.) Courier
of the 16th inst., as an argument in
favor of our position:
This Board of Trade has accom
plished what individual effort had, utter
years of strenuous effort, failed to do,
viz : Obtained the advantage of through
rates of freight from the Eastern cities
to Rome.
By this arrangement, will be saved to
this section of the country, tens of
thousands of dollars yearly, and the
benefits inure to the advantage of every
class of society alike.
This forcibly illustrates the advantage
of systematic and combined action over
individual effort, and show one good
that Ihe Chamber oj Commerce has ac
complished. We are glad to learn that
the prejudice against this society, on
thq part of some good people in the
country, and which originated in an
entire misapprehension of its purposes,
is being removed. It is certainly one
of the best institutions for business men
that could possibly be devised, and one,
if properly carried on, will be of great
benefit to all classes in the community.
Read the report of the committee on
freights :
REPORT OP COMMITTEE ON FREIGHTS.
The Committee on Through Freights
beg leave to submit the following re
port :
As this Chamber is aware, at the time
vonr committee was appointed, through
rates of freight from tiie Eastern and
Western cities had already been estab
lished to Dalton and Chattanooga, thus
leaving only the W. A A. R. It. and
Rome Railroad, with which to arrange
the rates. Your committee waited upon
Col. Cothran, Superintendent of the
Rome Railroad, and received from him
certain propositions with which it was
necessary to have the concurrence of
Maj. C. Wallace, Superintendent of the
W. A A. Railroad. One of your commit
tee waited upon the latter gentleman in
Atlanta, and we are pleased to announce
he has established a schedule of through
rates of freight from the Eastern citizes
to Kingston, which schedule is now pub
lished in one of our city papi rs.
Colonel Cochrane has given assurance
that the Rome Railroad will join in this
arrangement, and that in a few days he
will publish a schedule of through rates
of freight from the Eastern cities to
Rome.
We congratulate the members of this
bod the merchants and businessmen
of tfus city, and all classes of society in
the wide range of country that trades at,
receives goods, or ships produce tliroifgh
Rome —in the happy consummation of
this long-sought and much-needed re
daction of freights. Though much has
been accomplished by this arrangem'ent,
and this community is now put on a
much better footing in respect to freights
than ever before; yet wc cannot close
this report without solemnly protesting
against the unjust discrimination prac
ticed, even now, toward this section of
the State, in that the State Road charges
in this through arrangement, the same
fright from Dalston to Kingston—a dis
tance of 40 miles —that they do from
Dalton to Atlanta—n distance of 100
miles—a discrepancy in favor of one
place to the detriment of another, that,
in our judgment, a road owned by the
Slate, ought not to make. While we
would not claim that the rates of freight
should be in exact proportion to the dis
tance, between the points under consid
eration, yet we do contend that there
should he only that the pr > rata differ
ence accorded by the rule governing
local freights on the State Road. All
of which is respectfully submitted.

Tub Short Data*. — A fashion writer,
dating from Paris, say* of the “short
dres« s'*
This is the greatest novelty of the
season. It remains to be seeu whether
it will find the same favor in the eyes ot
American ladies that it has already in
the eyes of the gay Parisiennes.
The principal objection to it here will
be that it is ouly designed fur the street,
ami is not graceful in the house ; this,
in our opinion, is a recommendation.
One of the faults of our style of dressing
is its inixod character—its want of
distinctiveness and adaptation to sepa
rate uses.
Half the women wear the same dress
iu the street that they wear in the
drawing room ; sometimes trailing,
sometimes caught up with some one
of the half-dozen contrivances for
raising ladies' dresses, but either way,
inevitably spoiling it. A neat, short
dress, similar to the modes we have
seen, is surely a great improvement on
this method, or, rather, want of method,
and is not only convenient, but in quiet
o dors, with aeeurately-fittiug gloves, and
handsome dark boltines, is immensely
becoming to all but very tall women.
The most useful short dresses are
raude of Scotch linsey, the skirt gored
and cut out iu Vandykes, or trimmed
with several rows of narrow jet braid,
over a petticoat stimulated by a deep
braid of the same material, put upon
twilled cotton, and finished round the
bottom with a flat quilting or pleating,
put on with a broader braid than that
upon the upper skirt. The body is not
cut iu one with the skirt, but has a
little polka attacked, which is cut out in
short, square lappels, and bound with
galloon or braid. A short sac-paletot
is trimmed with one row of the top
and bottom of the sleeves, and reins at
the back. This completes the toilette.
Very little material is required for a
short gored dress, especially if the
petticoat is stimulated in some other.
Gray short dress, with a blue petti
coat, box-pleated, is a good combina
tion ; or brown with green and black,
or black with black-scarlet, or green
with purple and black.
A Curious Invention. —At the in
dustrial exhibition in Agricultural Hall,
Islington, Loudon, there is shown an
ingenious invention by which the action
of a shower of rain is made to close an
open window. The window, when open
ed, stretches two India-rubber springs.
These springs tire prevented from draw
ing the window down by means ol a
curved rod fixed outside the sash, the
end of which works up and down in a
tubular bell mouthed stand on the win
dow sill. A little piece of loaf sugar is
inserted into the mouth of the stand,
and the end oftlie rod is letdown gently
upon it. The sugar prevents the rod
descending into the tube, and of course
keeps the window sash up. As soon as
it begins to rain, the bell-mouth of the
tube collects the drops, the sugar is
melted, and no further obstacle being
presented to the action of" the India
rubber spring, the sash is drawn down.
Soap Suns.—Save all the suds from
the sink and the laundry. If you do not
want it for the purposes of irrigation,
let it be conveyed to your manure heaps
or mixed with materials for compost.
No article of a liquid nature possesses
more powerful alimentary properties,
and its economization will be found a
source of considerable profit to any one
who will properly use it. It contains
the food of plants iu a state of solution,
and therefore is prepared to act at once
and witli energy.
By mixing it with soda, chip manure,
muck, refuse straw, green vegetable
matter, or, indeed, any kind of decom
posed rubbish, and allowing the whole
to ferment slowly, a most excellent fer
tilizer for Indian corn may he prepared,
and one that will briug forward the crop
with greater vigor than almost auy oth
er article that can be named. It is also
very valuable as a manure for culmifer
ous vegetables—melons, squashes, cu
cumbers, etc.— Plowshare, in German

How the Name of Illinois Origi
nated. —An exchange says the name of
Illinois originated in the following man
ner: A party of Frenchmen set out upon
an exploring expedition down the river,
which they afterward named, providing
themselves with hark canoes, and rely
ing chiefly for their subsistence upon
game. They found at the confluence of
this river with the Mississippi an island
thickly wooded with black walnut. It
was a season of the year when the nuts
were ripe, and this party of explorers,
encamping on this island, greatly enjoy
ed the luxury of this fruit. From this
circumstance they called it the “Island
of Nuts”—or, iu French, “Isle aux
Nois,” —which name was given to the
river which they explored, and thence to
the territory and State.
Luck in a Black Eye. —The custom
of throwing a shoe, taken from the left
foot, after persons for good luck, has
been practiced from time immemorial,
not only at weddings, but on all occa
sions where good luck is required.'Some
forty years ago a cattle dealer desired
his wi;e to “trull her left shoe after him,”
when lie started lor Norwich to buy a
lottery ticket. As he drove off on his
errand, he looked round to see if shu
performed the charm, and consequently
he received the shoo in his face, with
such force as to black his eyes. He
went and bought his ticket, which turned
up a prize of £6OO. The cuttle-deuV
always attributed his luck to the extra
dose of shoo which he got.
jQ-pThe revenue produced by the
railways of the United Kingdom of Eng
land, Bcotland, Ireland and Wales, is
nearly $250,000,000 a year. The yearly
revenue of the London General Omnibus
Company is about $2,500,000.
Conpkdiratc Conscience Money.—
In our Washington news, says the New
York Sun. there was an interesting fact
mentioned, which cannot but make one
reflect on the truth of the old adage that
“honesty is the best policy.” It appears
that the Secretary of the Treasury has
received a communication from an
anonymous correspondent at Goldsboro,
North Carolina, enclosing two hundred
dollars in Confederate treasury notes,
which the writer says he was overpaid
by mistake during the Inst year of the
late war in some dealings with a Coi •
federate quartermaster. The writer of
this anonymous letter excuses this appa
rently Quixotic proceeding on his part
by adding that, being a Union man, he
would not return the money to the Con
federate Government, feeling that he
was justified under the circumstances in
retaining it; nnd now believing that the
Conlederate debt might possibly bo as
sumed by the United States Govern
ment, he encloses the same to the treas
ury. How wondarful to think that in
the nineteenth century, and in North
Carolina, such an example of rare hon
esty could be found. If Socrates, in his
search after an honest man, could have
dropped in at Goldsboro, how delightful
he would have been at having succeeded
iu his quest, instead of having to return
to Athens a disbeliever in the purity of
human nature 1 And the best proof of
the disinterestedness of the Goldsboro
conscience-stricken Unionist is the fact
that the sacrifice cost him nothing.
Death of Dr. R. W. Gibbes, of
Columbia, S. C.—The numerous friends
of this gentleman will hear of his death
with regret. He was formerly editor
and proprietor of one of the Columbia
papers, and has held important posi
tions in his State. The Columbia Sonlh
Carolinian, of Oct. 16th, thus notices
his decease:
Death of Dr. R. W. Gibbes. —After
a long and harassing illness, this well
known and beloved citizen died yester
day afternoon; and to-day, all that is
mortal of one whose life is a part of the
history of our State, and whose associa
tions have beeu among the proudest
and fondest which we know, will be
laid to rest in the shadows of old
Trinity. We may not look upon his
gentle form again, but he leaves behind
him a memory and an example that
will not be soon forgotten. Asa high
olficial of the State, the record of Sur
geon General Gibbes will be preserved
among the precious heirlooms of the
family. Asa public servant, a devoted
physician, a citizen of worth and virtue,
a promoter ofnrt, science, taste, and en
terprise, he will be long missed ironi the
circles he was wont to adorn. “ The
shadow of a solemn sorrow” rests upon
us, but he who has gone before now
wears the crown immortal.
Exposing the Parson. —A minister
was one Sabbath-day examining the
Sunday-School in Catechism, in the
presence of the congregation. The
usual question was put to the first
girl, a strapper, about thirteen years
of age, who occasionally assisted her
father, who was a shop-keeper, in wait
ing on customers:
“ What is your names” queried the
parson. No reply.
“ What is your name ?” he repeated,
in a very peremptory tone of voice.
“ Noue of your fuu, Mr. Minister,”
responded the girl, “you know my name
well enough. When you come to our
house on a night, don't you say to me:
‘ Betty, bring me some more ale ?' ”
The congregation, forgetting the sa
credness of the place, 1 grinued audibly,”
a id the discomfitted parsonJooked dag
gers at the maiden.
Impudent. —One of the most impu
dent old bachelors, we ever had the mis
fortune to meet, sent us the annexed
libel yesterday:
“We men have many faults,
Pour women have but two,
Thore’s nothing good they say;
There's nothing good they do.”
