ffbt Bails |rtss. City Printer —Official Paper 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. W. F. Ayeh, I J. J. Cohen, l Committee.’ J. M. Elliott. j jQrAeeording to a Dublin paper, an Irish farjner intends bringing an action against Lord Portarlington to recover the Value of bis damaged buy, which he neglected to put under shelter on the faith of his lordship’s lair-weather pro phecy. ________ important prosecution took place in Loudon last month, under the act which requires all guns offered for sale to be proved and marked. The de fendants were charged with having seven hundred guns on sale, none of which had the proper proof mark. It appeared that these arms were made for the late Confederate army. 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 town Telegraph, 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.” Special Notices.
