SATURDAY" MORNING Dec. 15. ISB6
An Eloquent Address.
It gives us pleasure to present our
renders, this morning. with tho remarks
of our esteemed fellow citizen, Uou.
YVna. Uihsoii, PrvsKlojn Ol the Slste
Senate. ms addressed to that bode tit the
lionr ut adjournment of the les-iion res
ferdny, at IV, M. Judge Gihsoa ij »
most impressive speaker, distinct •» 1
deliberate in his enunciation, and we
cannot hut think some <>l the sentiments i
so eloquently given in the following. j
must hare elicited th« cordial approba- j
tion and evoked the deepest interest of ,
that honorable body over which he so j
well presided:
Hem iirir of Hon. Wm. /Vest
dent oi the & mite of ln
wi/ouiuiny thot fatyt trmajf, Dec.
12, 1888: , ...
SesAiolut: The duties for -which we
assembled having discharged We
must iwli-Hirn, and return to our borax*.
Mav a cordial, hearty and affectionate
«. welecme kotiKt” soon greet you s>t.
I tender vou my grateful aeknowledg
ments for the ‘respect, liberality and
kindness vou luivo extended to me us
vour presiding eftleor : nml I can high
}y commend your respectful and cour
teous bearing, in ah matters, toward
each other. If your labors shall pro
mote the interest, prosperity and wel
fare of the people of Georgia, your
greatest attihatibs will be gratified.
Vet. poor, frail humanity, with all its
tendencies to err, being the destiny of
all, may we not trustingly appeal to a
noble, generous and magnanimous con
stituency to pardon our many faults
and short-comings.
Tho functions of State Government,
so magnanimously bestowed by that
far-seeing statesman, your noble and
generous President, may be taken from
us. Wo may bo made as helpless as
infancy itself, yet, trusting to that same
Kternal Spirit that protected the Babe
born in the manger, we, too, may he safe
ly conducted from the rod of Herod. The
voice of tgutli and reason cannot al
ways bo kept silent. If we have not
greatly misapprehended the character
and nature of the Government of the
United States, no State nor individuals
can be made to depend upon the capri
cious and arbitrary will of legislators.
Vile arts maybe used to defame and
blai ken the purest and best characters ;
sophistry may evade, laisehood assert,
and impudence deny, thereby securing
a temporary triumph to wickedness
and error, yet the great Chart of lib
erty —the Constitution of the United
States—around which so many gracious
and benevolent hearts cluster, stands
conspicuous to guide and direct us
through the dashing billows of n mad
dened sea. If we are driven into re
tirement and not a 1 lowed even to speak,
let us he consoled, as was the great
Carthusian, when he said “Kt xi haee
praeiheta conjitiri non posxim niru/ua
Inmen eorde et scripto." (If I cannot
confess these tilings with my tongue,
1 at least confess them with my
pen and my heart). If it, too,
shall be our fate to ha sacrificed,
may we not appeal to the most
■ obdurate to be heard ? The great I
Am, from whom nothing is, or ever
was, hidden, cited Adam before He
condemned him, “ Adam, where art
thou?.’ and, too, in the instance of
Cain, we hear Him say, “Cain, where
is thy brother Abel?” 1 ask, when
before, in the history of the world, has
the guilt of the most atrocious crimes
excluded the criminal from the right
of defending himself?
If the blood tlint has been shed, the
lamentations of the stricken and sad
hearts of widows and orphans, parents
and children, that fill the very atmos
phere itself, the great demoralization of
society, do not suffice, and greater grief
and sorrow yet await us, let him whoso
venality, corruption, ambition, and
pride kindles this flame beware lest
this great fire, when again alight
ed, may not, too, consume him who
kindleth the flame: for it is written.
“ They that take the sword shall perish
by the sword,” and nothing is better
settled than that human forbearance
and endurance have a limit. The worm
itself may rise and strike when trodden
under foot. There are not wanting,
either. Instances of those who have
been bathed in the rivers of woo and
afflictions coming forth purified and
invigorated with greater vitality. The
flamp of martyrdom kindled' a lire,
which shed a brilliant light amidst tho
general gloom, not easily extinguished.
The flames, too, may destroy the most
beautiful and magnificent edifice, yet,
beneath its smouldering ashes bright
sparks will lie concealed. Tho inqui
sition, prisons, and stakes have in vain
been employed to crush truth—it is im
possible. That there are minds capable
of comprehending and fully under
standing the great truths of self-gov
ernment Ido not doubt: and that there
are brave heart- who will dare to as
sert them I will not question: and if
so, will it not find an echo in all our
breasts ? Our father- endured a seven
years war to establish the principles of
self-government—will we not dare
maintain them ? Let us then bide our
time in calmness and great patience,
remaining ever true to ourselves, true
t” the principles of self-government.
Let us, too, be sotier, frugal, and indus
trious ; strictly just and upright, main
taining at all times the supremacy of
the laws and order, asking Divine
guidance and direction in all things,
and a reward yet awaits ns, asa nation
and a people, beyond tho imagination
of the most Sanguine to picture.

Return of Maximilian to the City
of Mexico.
The rumofc-reported *me 'ty" ! ** f '
that Maximilian had returned to the
Citv of Mexico at the request of the
ConscrseWveV ami *•« <k'.ern*.ed
maintain the Empire. »ee.n. well ground
ed The dispatch of our Consul nt
Vera Crux, referred to in onr telegram,
and Other anWiority. confirm the report.
A letter tn the New York Times says
|tip Ptenefc are IbrtitVtng and show no
signs of quitting the country. The
same writer adds :
“A mealing of tho Conservative |<orty
of Mexico was held at Orizaba, where
delegates from many of the States ap
poured. < I»rtTing petitions to Maximilian,
and pmrtng that he might reconsider
his determination to abdicate. The pub-
I ij,- has not been officially apprised ol the
proceedings of the conference, but
enough is known to indie ite the pro
longation ol the war; flint Miramon lias
been appointed commander oi all troops
under Maximilian, and that the en
cToNi hnicnts ol foreign powers are to be
resisted j bitter and determined hostility
to the cession of laud by Juarez, or any
one else, to the l nited Slates, and a
unanimous cull upon the present Em
peror to aid them in the coming contest.
It is said, after a mature deliberation of
some eight hours. His Majesty acceded
to their wishes, and agreed not to abdi
cate.”
Since the foregoing was put in type,
we are in receipt of the New Orleans
despatch, bringing most important news
from Mexico. It seems that the clergy
and most influential citizens, awake to
the dreadful state of aflairs that must
follow the overthrow of Maximitiau's
government, have petitioned him to
remain, and promised to raise twenty
millions to support and carry on the
Empire. We have ever believed that a
vast majority ol the enlightened people
of Mexico preferred the empire, as it
evidently has been to their interest to
maintain it, and without a cruel inter
vention from the United States, we
believe it will yet triumph. —Macon
( Go.) Telegraph.
We hope that our Macon cotempora
rv's belief will be verified.

It certainly wants that counterbalancing

our “storm theory” for them, aud per
hups by the establishment of u thermal
bureau we could have the weather as well
as other matters, properly regulated at the
South. Cotton, or something else, as
you know, must be grown, and if we

that it can’t be done.

AHOU9EKEKPER WITH A SEWING
MACHINE needs to hi re no ream*
*tre»a j she has uu ir« D one that never
kills itself frith tight lacing or dttpepiia,
nor give* up by noon sick with the head*
aobe. A young woman with a Sewing
Machine is independent. It will bring her
in more money than ma»y a husband
would, and''would never grumble wbon she
uses it, either ; and, besides, it will neither
•moke, dr*nk, flirt with the girls, nor run
up a board bill for her to pay. Still, not
withstaudiug all this, no doubt some silly
girls will prefer beaux and husband* to a
“Wheeler A Wilson but plenty who have
tried husbands, would like the chance to
choose again, and take the Machine, I
warrant you.
Bat the best of all is, when having got a
husband, be, nice nmfi that Le is, gets and
buy* the Sewing Machine, and, perhaps,
learn* to run it himself ; and while she sits
uud cuts and baste* the cloth, he run* it
through the Machine with a rush, and. like
magiciaus who puli all sorts of thing*
out of all manner of strange places, so he
tumbles in bits of cloth at one end and
pulls out at the other all manner of those
men's clothes, women's clothe*, boys’
clothes, girl's clothes, and baby clothes,
which are so handy to have iu the house,
where a happy couple live.
Now, my friend, hadn't you better go and
get your wife a dewing Machine ? It will
be better than to get anew wile when yours
ha* sewed herself to death, won't it?
41 What wiil it cost ?"
Oh ! any where from fifty to one hundred
dollars, and thereabouts.
“Can't afford it.”
0, you can’t! How long will it take
yoo to make up that amount of money in
cigar* at present prices ? Sell a cow, if
have several, and buy a Mach ine. Sell a
horse and buy a Aliichine. Use tho old
furniture and buy a Machine. Use the old
wagon aud buy a Muehiue. Wear tho old
clothes and buy a Machine. A Machine is
better than a toelodeon. A Machine is
better than a piano. And, besides, with a
Machine, jimt you can save and earn enough
to buy many other things.
“tv hat one shall I get?”
“Wo prefer the Wheeler aud Wilson Sew
ing Machines for family uso.”
There is no MACHINE in the WORLD
that can do so GREAT A VARIETY OF
WORK as the IMPROVED WHEELER A
WILSON, or give such thorough satisfac
tion ; it cannot, be equalled for Stitching,
Hemming, Quilting, Felling, Cording,
Tucking, Braiding, and will sow anything
from the THICKEST CLOTH to the
Finest Cambric, etc. The reeent improve
ments render this Machine tar more effi
cient, ami is now universally acknowl
edged to be the leading FAMILY SEWING
MACHINE of the WORLD.

of nature in the peculiar form of a CONftvr *

the eye, .Hording altogether the bc,t
help to the human vision ever invented. ' **
Sold only by the Professor of Or-rioa

THE ADVANTAGES of then- Spectacle,
over all others, are—
-Ist. The only true Lens known, being pt,
feclly free from chromatic light, so wcil know
to be the cause of injury to the vision. sn s
which makes the change from t-pect sc ;^,,
Glasses of stronger powers, so often re-juired
while both near and distant objects ate »,•
with equal facility through the same UiaMe. *
2d. Con be worn with perfect ease for ~,
length of time at one aitting, giving astoni^.
ing clearness of vision, particularly by can*
or other artificial light—comfort to thefW
tacle wearer hitherto unknown.
3d. When tb« eyes ache or pain through tit
action of a bright light, such as is
from snow, sunny weather, white paper, ant
in reading, writing, or sewing, nr virid ceiorcd
bodies, these Lenses, by softening the*iajt
effect a most agreeable sensation and zt*
great relief.
4th. In all nervous affections of tbe eyas
causing dull and startling pains in the eye
ball or temple, appearance of luminecs
and dark spots in the atmosphere, aching
or feeling like sand in the eye, the diatnrbed
nerves aro quieted and soothed.
sth. Ground by peculiar machinery, got up
at great oost, mathematically calculated n.
pressly for the manufacture of this Lens, so M
to produce it with the true spherical aecurau,
and its focus is at the exact centre, a porn:
of vital importance, and which no other hut
possesses.
6th. Proof of Superiority over the eld kitj
of Spectacles. They are used exclusively i;
all tho hospitals for diseases of the eye. in
Berlin, Prussia, and elsewhere.
TESTIMONY OF RECOMMENDATION
From Medical gentlemen. Professors of th
highest Opthalmio talent in Augusta, Ga.,u;
iu the Union :
Augusta, Ga., December Sth, 18*5.
I have examined the Glasses of Dr. Bern
hardt, and find them of good quality. Hit
testimonials are very numerous aud exceed,
ingly flattering. L. A. DUGAS, YI. h.
Augusta, Ga., Dec. 7, 1865.
I do most willingly bear my testimotjh
favor of the superiority of tbe Australian
Crystal—single aud double vision spectacles
uver all other kinds. They arc conetrucled
upoD the best established and understood prin
ciples of optics, and tbeir adaptation to tbe
ho-ran eye in its different conditions of vision
is so perfect, as to render sight easy without
effort. In my opinion, none others should be
used, since the eyes once used to (hose do Dot
seem to grow old, and by having a focus at
any point of the surface, they appear to re
store the eyes to their youthful energy.
LEWIS I). FORD', M. I).
Augusta. Ga. Dec. 7,18*8.
I have examined a great variety of Olssta
manufactured by Professor M. Bernhardt, and
in justice to the Professor, mast snv that his
Glasses are of a superior quality, adapted to
meet the wants of uimost every eye, where the
vision is in any way imperfect. The Professor
selected for me a pair of his Australian Crystal
Glasses, which are of a very superior quality
and workmanship, rendering vision very dis
tinct, almost as perfect as in youth. 1 yield
this testimony in favor of the Profetuur'i
Glasses most cheerfully.
C. C. PRITCHARD, M. D.
•Augusta, Ga.. Dee. 7, 1866.
I very cordially recommend Prof. M. Bern
hardt to all who may require Glasses.
■DbSAUSSURE FORD, M. I).
Augusta, Ga., Pec. 7, 1865.
We have examined the Lenses of Professor
Bernhardt, and consider them superior to aoj
we have seen. They are miniirably adapted no:
only to improve the imperfections of impaired
sight, but to relieve the weariness of vision
which constant study produces. Many of tbe
Glasses are of new aud ingenious contrivance.
We cordially recommend the Professor to all
those who require scientific optica! assistance.

I, have examined the (ilnsses of Dr. M.
Bornhardt, of Europe, and have tried tb«n.
They are very remarkable for their beauty of
workmanship, and for their power to assist the
vision. Dr. M. Bernhardt has made Optic*
tho study of bis life, and is evidently m° s &
thoroughly acquainted with the seieucc.
He is a native of Berlin. Prussia, and ba*
studied there, but has for several years been 1
resident of New York. The diseased and aged

I have seen numerous testimonials to the ex
