A Pietly Picture.
There U soOicUiinf Attractive in fu
ture*—aa innate trelinp ol admiration
for them in almost every human breast.
A gallery of painting* will always be
well attended; a panorama delights
•very one; photograph* and stereo
*eo|>e* are among the most popular
amusements of the day ; and itius- |
fated paper or magazine will command ]
a larger sale than those without pie. j
lures. It i* a kind ot natural taste,
but su.-ceptiide ol the highest cultiva
tion, an i encouraged to the greatest
extent in a in "<t every country on the
g obe. Sow, we are no artist; but
there is a picture which we wish we
had !»• i bility to paint. It L only an
ideal subject; b :t, if we had the power,
»r sb. -d transter it, not to canvass,
but o a tua! existence. The ground
work wool, iie a united country —a
coiubinn- .on o’ sovereign States, lionuv
peneoi.s in cbtraltlultuu, in g jvernmeist,
anti : "'t'tes populated by virtu
people, frowning"
j.a- e, seon.it gto do wrong, j
ita’usir.oua, generous. Kind. In the j
foreground, nil kinds of industrial pro
cess! s tiotin- .ugly at work—the learned i
professions, the mechanic arts, and
mauulactur.ng. a'u thriving under the
protecting han.l of peace and miity.
Iu the distance, a history to be proud
of. Iu the centre, “a Union o! hearts
ar.d a Union ot hands"—magnanimity
and brotherly love fully and handsome
ly represented. In the perspective —
a future lor every American citizen to
be proud ot. The ‘Mars and Stripes”
waving over a united and harmonious
people—(Wo. p, rny and peace prominent
every wl ere Churches and Public
Schools thickly dotting every corner o!
the scene; and the motto, well deserved
ami proudly borne : "The land ol the
iree and the home of the brave.”
It is only a fancy picture, a very
rough sketch of what might be very
handsomely elaborated and sketched, il
the artists of the country —the Ameri
can people—wouid only devote them
selves assiduously to the task. The
daubers who are attempting to paint
over this beautiful picture ought to step
aside and give way to the real artists
who know so weii how to give lile and
beauty to “the National Landscape.”
The Tax on liquor.
It is staled that the present tux on liquor
is very unjust and enormous, and that it
is doing much injury to the mercantile
interests of Augusta. This statement is
-sustained by the exhibits o! those who
are qualified to know. Thus, we are
informed that one third of the taxable
iiuuc ol merchandise is on liquor ami
that tlie tax on iiqm-r amount* to about
twenty dollars per barrel; while no such
tax is levitd in any other .State in the
Union, lienee, some of our merchants
store their liquors in Hamburg, $. 0-,
and sell it over then, | ayit g taxes on
it to South Carol.na, thus diminishing
the revenues of (ur county ami State,
and keeping trade away from our City,
tor, a merchant who comes here to buy
ins liquors will be apt to purchase other
goods at the same time. At u.l events,
he will pay his board and make other
part.hi.sen during his stay. To drive

Jhe prim qial charm ter of the work,
is one "Grace," who, in the inception,
we find to lie a poor, aiiiiost frieudles.-,

kinouess ot a lady, finds a home iu a

oilier girls, Grace Maitland grew in
statue as time advanced, so that, ere we
iiave turned many leaves, we find her
an accomplished young lady, who writes
brilliant letters, and conducts conversa

Instinct, Intuition.
Mr. Editor: Logicians seem dis
posed to give instinct very little credit
in teaching men,(not women), “to think,
to judge, to reason, and to commuuicate
their thoughts to each other witli pre
cision and accuracy”—and it seems to
me, that they are only, “shirking the
question” when they admit that intuition
is the instantaneous action of the mind
iu perceiving the agreement or disagree
ment of two ideas. The most amusing
illustration of instinct is that of the
hen who has hatched a brood of ducks,
and her perfect manifestation of aston
ishment on seeing the young ducks take
to the water, their element, which she
seems to dread. And :s to intuition,
when a woman in the simplicity of her
heart says, “a thing is so because it is
so,’’ we have a special contrast between
her and the philosopher who very com
placently tells you that the half of any
thing is less th in the whole.
Instinct aud intuition, as I take them,
is the fuundat ou upon which the super,
structure oi conscience is raised, and if
both are allowed their natural develop
ments, unrestrained by the artifices i.f
society, there can be no doubt as to the
latter being our safe and proper guide
iu all the transactions of life.
Instinctively and intuitively, even be
foie the Christian era, the foundation of
morality was laid in this, “Do unto
others, as you would others should do
unto you.” This gn at principle ad
dresses itself in its simplicity to all men,
uutuuD.iind children at' the Human race,
and is the triumphant test of a true
conscience.
What instinct and intuition have done
for morality, they may do for the civil
government of the world, aud it is fond y
hoped that the era is not distant when
it will be universally acknowledg and
that “ail un n have a right to do aid
act, anti think, and enjoy themselves as
they individually please, provided th it,
in acting, thinking, and enjoying th nil
selves, they do not interfere with the
same right in other These two great
principles cover the whole ground of
human happiuess, aud, with the aid of
the strong urtn of religion, could be
made at once to ameliorate the present
I depraved condition of mankind.
Musta id Seed.
Bad Pay.—Under the abo e caption,
we find the following in a Northern
exchange, in relation to Southern Rail,
roads:
“Those of the Southern Railroads
that were permitted to purchase loco
motive!, cars, rolling stock, et •., aft< r
the close of tl e war, on credit, have
not been prompt in meeting their en
gagements. 'f ile total sales were
§7,444,073.22, on which, up to the 30lh
of June last, the interest was s33t>,-
086 01, making a total indebtedness at
that date of $7,770,150.23.
“Os this, but $1,200,085.18 was paid,
leaving $6,570,074.05 due, besides twice
as much more for repairs and improve
ments by the United Stat s. Con
spicuous among the defaulting compa
nies was the Chattanooga & Nashville
Railroad, which, on the 30th ot .Tune
last owed the Federa Treasury $1,40..,*
204.07.”
—Every now ami then we see in our
Southern and Western ext hinges a
m: rriage notice, setting fort i l ow “Lieu
tenant, Captain, or Major So-and-so,” of
the late Confederate Army, “married
Miss So-and-so.” Now, seeing that
everybody in the country belonged to
the said late so-called—certainly every
one wfio is worthy to lead a bride to the
altar—we fail to see the necessity or
propriety of slili continuing tho use ot
these “handles” to the names ol the
happy men. If a distinction must be
observed, let it be on the other side—
somewhat after this wise: “Married, on
the 31st day of November, by tho Rev.
Judas Iscariot, Miss Rhoda Hudor to P.
Liver, lisq., who did not aid or abet the
‘late so-called Confederacy.’”—Charles
ton News.
la it So?—“They say" that nn order
inis been issued from the Temple of
Fashion, directing the calling from tho
dead past that hideous custom which
required gentlemen to wear spudetuil
coats and Jackson tights. Young gen
tlemen, remember tbe anecdote of the
lover, lady, and ’kerchief, mid trample
under your feet this last edict of
Fashion.

Uhivsrsity of Georgia,)
Nov. 14th, 1866. j
“I have examined with great care the
Goodrich Series of fccht ol Leaders, edited
by Koble Butler, A. M. I consider these
Readers admirably adopted to secure the
end for which they have been prepared.
The selections are judicious, and the ar
rangement is excellent. Reading is here
presented as an art; the cousccutive meth
ods of instruction are thoroughly exhibited,
while the principles of correct and elegant
Reading, with the illustrations that em
body them, are so happily introduced, that
easy and natural progress may be made. I
am particularly pleased with the KBW
SIXTH READER. This work has pecu
liar merits. It combiues, iu an eminent de
gree, tbe best features of our most pbilo
losphic systems of Elocutionary Reading;
ami, apart from its other recommendations,
is especially worthy of the attention of
Teachers ou the ground of its eclectic value.
I shall introduce the New Sixth Reader into
tho Elocutionary Department of this Uni
versity. A. A. LIPSCOMB,
Chancellor.”
“Butler’s Grammars impress me very
favorably. So tar as I have been able to
examine them, they strike me as very suc
cesstul efforts to adapt the subject of Gram
mar to young minds. They teach the pupil
how to think in the study of Grammar; and
us most Grammars fail at this point, I can
very fully commend these books to tho at
tention of Teachers.
A. A. LIPSCOMB,
Chancellor.”
We could append the endorsement of

DAVIS’
ain
Killer.
Opinions of the Press, Clergy, Etc.
HV will make a Jew short extracts from
the mauy Testimonials we have received from
time to time, unsolicited.
From Editors-
The New York Examiner , says:
Every mother and housekeeper must often
act as a family physician iu the many ill
nesses and accidents that occur «tim>Dg chil
dren and servants. For many of these cases,
I have used Davis’ Pain Killer, and consider
it an indispensable article in tbe medicine
box. In diarrhrea. it has been used and
efleeted cures. For cuts aud bruises, it is
invaluable.
The Editor of the Christian Advocate »
says:
It is a real pleasure to us to speak favorably
of this artiele, known almost universally to
be a good and safe remedy fur burns and
other pains of the body, it is valuable not
only far colds in the winter, but for various
summer complaints, and should be in every
family.
A. D. Miller, Editor of Messenger, Glena
Falls, N. Y., says :
There is no medicine at the present day I
value so highly as Perry Davis’ Vegetable
Pain Killer. I have used it in my family
for years; in every insuuce it has proved a
sovereign remedy. I tested its qualities
to-day on a severe burn, and found it all
that could be desired.
Mr. John Jackson, of the Calais Advsr*
tiser, writes:
1 know it to be all it is recommended,
having used it in ,iuy family six or seven
yoars.
The Salem Observer says ;
No article of medicine ever attained to
such unbounded popularity and extensive
dilftftion. It has penetrated to every part,
even the most remote, of the kuown world,
beuring with it its healing influences more
potent than those of the spices of “Arab/
the blessed.” We are informed by our
principal druggists, that they sell more of
this article fur exportation than of any or
all others, and that the demand is constant/
increasing.
Tho Cincinnati Nmpareil, Nov. 14, 1$40»
says:
Seme of our most prominent citizens and
busiuess men strongly recommend it to the
publio as nn article of great ynerit and virtue#
and that they never knew any medicine to
been me so deservedly popular in so short a
time.
From Clergymen.
Rov. J. Ci Boomer says :
1 have used Terry Davis V lVin Killer with
great success in cases of cholera iulantum*
common bowel complaint, bfonchitas*
coughs, colds, etc., ana would cheerfully
recommeud it as a valuable family medicine.
Rov. J. G. Stearns, says:
I Consider it the best remedy X over knew
for dyspepsia.
Rev. Edward X Fuller says :
1 have witnessed tho beneficial effects of
your Pain Killer in cases of dysentery and
cholera morbus, within a few months past»
and would cheerfully recommend its use to
such as may be suffering from similar dis
eases, as a safe and effectual retpody.
Rov. A. Webster, Editor of the Christian
Era. writes:
1 have used your Pain Killer for many
years in my fumily with much satisfaction.
