A Good Example.
Many persons in the South, who are
discouraged by the reverse of oue had
crop, should look around at those who
tight against adversity, determined «»
conquer it. We often hear it said that
capita’ will not flow into the country,
aud that cTcrybo'y is waiting to see
what is done at W a-huigtoc. Now, th -
is all wrong. What difference doe- it
make to us whether Congress legislates
for us as States without a representa
tion, or wrongfully dissolves our State
Governments and puts u* mto 1 errito ;
ries? So tar a- *e ran ascertain, there
is to he no attempt to interfere with .
rights of property, and every one can go
on in his accustomed pursuits and have
full immunity. Our men ot capital
should not hesitate because of tbe
threats at Washington. They are all |
bosh, and only uttered for the purpose
of keeping the Radical party together
and securing the Presidency in 18G8.
After that is accomplished, the South
will be asked to send its Representatives
without further restraint. We speak by
the card, and know what we say. In
connection with this matter of going
ahead to develop the interests ot the
South, we may cite an example in the
right direction : A well known gentle
man. Colonel Blanton Duncan, has re
cently been pardoned, and his large
estates in Kentucky, Mississippi, and
elsewhere, have been restored to him.
Instead of sitting down quietly to enjoy
tbe income upon nearly half a million,
he has jumped at once into a business
calculated to develop the resources of the
South, and has started in the noble little
State of Delaware a factory capable of
turning out 9,000 engines annually.
As we know this gentleman intimately,
we do not hesitate to pronounce such a
course worthy ot being followed by oth
ers, who can command capital, and who
should boldly jump in, without fear, and
cleave tbe troubled waters, making in
the future, proud names for their energy
and forethought, and restoring the inde
pendence ol the Southern States by
manufactories ot Southern origin. As
one of the pioneers in a great under
taking, we find pleasure in calling spe
cial attention to such a factory, and to .
the parties connected with it. Anew j
invention has been patented, and the
control thereof secured by Col. Duncan
under the title ot the Hick’s Steam En
gine Company, of Delaware. From
what we have heard of it, it is destined
t > work a radical change in steam power,
and its principal features can be summed
up as being one fourth the weight of
others, having one tilth the number ot j
pieces, occupying one eighth the space,
consuming' one third less fuel, having
no dead points, a perfect and rapid valve
motion, impossible to get it out of line*
facility of transporting it from point to
point, much cheaper, and extreme sim- j
plicity, and its power of instant stoppage
and reversion which no other engine
possesses.
The present manufacturer took the
gold medal over all competition at the
Baltimore Fair the Ist of November. As
an evidence of the testimonials, we only !
present one, a letter Irotn General Beau
regard :
Nf.w Ori.kaxs, La., Nov. 29, 1806.
Col. Blanton Duncan, Ai r Orleans;
Dear Cot.oNEi.: ■ — Your letter of
yesterday has been received, expressing
the desire that I slur ’ . act as your
General Agent in the sale of Hick’s
Steam Engine, and especially along the
line of the New Orleans, Jackson,
and Great Northern Railroad, and
throughout the interior of Mississippi.
1 accept that Agency with pleasure, as
I consider that engine superior in com
pactness an 1 simplicity to all others that
have y-t come under my observation.
Yours, very truly.
(}. T. Beauregard.
The selection of Agents seems to he
beyond comparison. Such of our lead- .
iug men as Generals Beauregard, Buck- !
ner, Longstreet, Hood, G. W. Smith,
and Kirby Smith, have already signified I
their acceptance of agencies over re* j
spective States, and Generals J. li. John- j
bton, Hardee, I). 11. iiili, and others, j
have also been requested to act, ami
doubtless will do so. The late Senator
from Arkansas, lion. R. W. Johnson,
and Hon. W. M. Gwin, President of the
Southern Pacific Railroad, and many of
the leading business houses throughout
the country have alreadytaken an active
part therein. If any of our people wish
to purchase machinery and to carry out
their oft spoken desires to build up
Southern institutions, here is an oppor
tunitv. If our energetic citizens, who
embark in endeavors to aid their sec
tion, should find preference given to
Northern makers, of course our facto
ries will be closed and their capital
turned elsewhere into more profitable
channels. We must all put our shoulders
to the wheel, working for the common
benefit of our States, and as long as our
Radical dictators at Washington shall
evidence their present fraternal affec
tion, we mustffurn toour own immediate
brethren of the South all our resources
in building up and fostering manufacto
ries in ou** midst. 1 here is no use mine
ing matters. We are far behind in that
respect, and every effort should be made
to remedy it speedily. 1 lie people have us
much energy and intellect as the North
ern race, and a good crop the coining
season will impart a vitality to our tie
pressed commerce, and with each corn
ing year renewed prosperity will grace a
land girahinir with plenty, ami we hope,
peace.
Albert Dike Hays, in a late letter,
that the completion of the new Arkansas
and i'ennessee Railroad is ten times as
important as “getting into the Union
and electing Senators, and all that.”
Mr. Butler'* Resolutions.
At the time these resolutions were
: offered in the Georgia Legislature, we
I expressed a I*vocable opinion of them.
! We Still entertain the same views that
we gave expression to then. We do not
' believe that abuse and vituperation can
accomplish any g-„d i neither chi, “a
ma-tcly inactivity " We think it much
better to take some action, to move
forward, and meet those in power on
halt wav ground. lie don t want the
Smith to voluntarily do unytlnng that
will disgrace its people, or that will
| commit them to any injurious policy.
We do not think that conciliation and a
disposition to compromise will effect
any such unhappy resu’ts. We believe
that if the proper efforts are made—if
the right sort of Commissioners are
sent to Washington, and with the aid
of the President, consu l with the lead
ing Radicals ot Congress, an agreement
can be effected which will finally settle
all our National difficulties, and restore
the South to its riujitfol place in the
I'niou. The reason lor this faith is to
he found ill the speeches ot Republican
i Members ol Congress, and the editorials
of leading Republican newspapers.
Surelv the experiment is worthy of
being tried; ami we can but regret that
Mr. Butler’s Resolutions were rejected.
Wo still think, however, that the Gov
ernor could take this business in hand,
and either call a popular Convention or
send Cbmmissioners on ot his own
accord, ami, on their return, call the
Legislature together.
It would have a still better effect if
all the Southern States would unite and
send Commissioners on to V asbington
simultaneously. AV e do not propose to
ignore the President. W e want the
Commissioners to have an interview
with the President, and make the effort
to settle the difficulty satisfactorily t:>
the President, to Congress, and, as far
as possible, to the South. Hence, we
were pleased to observe a call for a
meeting of Southern Governors, ami we
hope that the call will be promptly re
sponded to ; and that whatever action is
taken shall be united and harmonious.
i A friend, a gentleman of considerable
I experience and good judgment, writes
|to us on this subject as follows. We
i commend his views to the attention of
j our readers, and hope that they will meet
I with a calm and respectful eonsidera
, lion :
| We cannot but regret the rejection by
j tl e Legislature of tbe resolutions offered
| bv Mr. Butler, looking to the apipoint
| ment of a Committee to proceed to
Washington to ascertain upon what
terms the State may be reinstated in
the Union.
It is by such men ns Mr. Butler, who
are willing to meet moderate nieu in
Congress on half way ground, that the
problem of reconstruction will at last
be solved. There are such men on both
sides, and could they be brought to
gether and afforded an opportunity to
compare opinions, much good might be
done and progress made. Kept apart,
as they are, and their utterances drowned
by the noisy and violent extremists, their
voices are unheard, and their opinions
disregarded. The amendments proposed '
bv Coiigre.-s have been summarily re- |
jected by the Legislature ; it is well to i
ask now, is all negotiation to cease ;
shall we make no attempt to obtain bet
ter terms, and shall we submit, without
a plea in defence, to the judgment of
the extreme men in Congress ?
The President, in his Message, has
declared that to Congress he turns over
all responsibility of reconstruction ; and
to Congress, therefore, now belongs the
decision of our fate—whether Georgia
shall exist longer as a State, or be re
duced to a territorial condition. The
wisdom of those who vituperate and
malign that body upon whose judgment
our destiny depends may well be ques
tioned.
Then, we have the advocates of “mas
terly inactivity.” Sow, “masterly inac
tivity” may be all very well for those
who can afford it, in a mild spring day,
for instance, when we recline uuou a
sofa, arid are fanned by the breath of
(lowers; but when tbe thunder storm
impends, we had better cast aside our
“masterly inactivity,” and betake our
selves to closing our doors and windows,
and look to our lightning rods. The
“masterly inactivity” that lets the world
pass by us, in t his day of swift progress,
will not do for a State so capable of the
first rank as Georgia ; and those who
thus < ousel forget that our present
coMjmuvi ij inactivity has I timed (‘mi
gration Irotn our borders, averted capital,
hampered our trade, and in every way
damaged the resources of the State.
Now, Mr. Butler’s proposition lies
between the extremes. iR proposed to
ascertain what could be done, which
was of itself doing something. Jt indi
cated a willingness to consider terms,
since those already proposed were out
of the question. It certainly was more
dignified than the “masterly inactivity”
of a sulky child, sitting with its lingers
in its mouth and refusing to move or
speak ; or the chivalry of that same
child in tantrums of obstreperous rage,
refusing to be quieted by sugar plums
or slapping ; yet these, we are afraid,
are the pictures most of the outside
world takes of our “masterly inactivity.*’
We are afraid it is too late to remedy
the action ot the Legislature upon Mr.
Butler's resolutions, but as it is not
improbable tlmt the Legislature mav
soon lie called together again, we desire
to have their acceptability with the
peoj !<• tested by discussion ; and if the
popular verdict is iu their favor, let the
Legislature adopt them, if not then too
late.
Novel Way is Which to Catch
Rats. —The Philadelphia Lcdycr says
that, “catching rats is often difficult, as
old rats are very cunning. Laying
a ound poison is dangerous not alone
but objectionable, for the reason that
rats may die at inaccessible spots and
contaminate the atmosphere with a well
known detestable odor. A better plan
has been adopted by one of our corres
pondents, by which he takes advantage
of the cunning habits of the iats. He
covers the floor near the rat hole with a
thin layer of caustic potash ; when the
rats walk on this it makes their feet sore;
these they lick with their tongues; it
makes their mouth sore, and the result
is that they shun this locality not alone,
but tell all tbe neighboring rats about it,
and, eventually, the house is entirely
abandoned by them.”

PERRY DAVIS’
V •-f VEGETABLE
4S P.m KILLER
STILL TRIUMPHANT !
AND AFTER A THOROUGH TRIAL
- by innumerable living witnesses, has
proved itself to bo
TIIE MEDICINE OF TIIE AGE.
Although there have been many medici
nal preparations brought before the public
since the first introduction of Perry Davis*
Vegetable Pain Killer, and large amounts
expended in tlieir introduction, the Pain
Killer has continued steadily to advance in
the estimation of the world as tbe best
family medicine ever introduced. As an
internal and external remedy, it is truly a
source of
Joy to the Wcrld!
One positive proof of its efficacy is, that
the sales have constantly increased, and
upon its own merits, as tho proprietors have
not resorted to advertising to gain for it the
rank if now holds among tbo great number
of preparations of the present time. The
effect of the Pain Killer upon the patient,
when taken internally in cases of Colds,
Coughs, Bowel Complaints, Choleia, Dys
entery, and'other affections of the system,
has been *ruly wonderful, and has won tor
it a name among medicinal preparations
that can never be <orgotten. Its success in
removing pains, as an external remedy, in
cases of Burns, Bruises, {Sores, Sprains,
Cuts, btings of insects, and other causes of
suffering, lias secured for it such a host of
testimony, as an almost infallible remedy,
that it will be handed down to posterity as
one of the greatest medical discoveries of
the nineteenth century. The magical ef
fects of the Pain Killer, when taken or used
according to directions, are certain. You
have only to be sure that you buy tbe
genuine article and adhere to the directions
in its use, and you will admit its wonderful
medicinal properties.
Tho genuine Perry Davis’ Pain Killer is
now put up in panel bottles, with the words
Davis’ Vegetable Pain Killer blown in the
glass : and with two steel engraved labels
on each bottle—one an excellent likeness of
Perry J 'avis, tbo original inventor of the
medicine, the other a steel engraved note of
band. None others can be relied upon as
genuine. Prices of bottles 12 A cents, 25
cents, 50 cents, and sl, respectively.
V'thi'ible Mcfici’ie —We presume no
medical preparation ever offered to the pub
lic has been more thoroughly tc-kd than
PERRY DAVIS’ PAIN KILLER. Thou
sands of persons, were they called upon to
do so. would cheerfully testify that thov
have used it for various ills, with the most
satisfactory success. It is within our own
knowledge that an immense amount of suf
fering has been relieved by it. Its pro
prietors, Messrs. Perry Davis <fc Son, save
no pains or expense iu order to satisfy tbe
l üblic. Being strictly honorable men, the}’
observe the utmost uniformity in the man
ufacture of their celebrated Pain Killer.
The materials of which it is composed arc
carefully selected—none butthc bestqualitv
being used. By these means the high repu
tation which the Pain Killer has long since
acquired is, at all times, triumphantly sus
tained. In view of these facts, wo are by
no means surprised to learn that Messrs.
Davis A {Son’s sales are constantly and
rapidly increasing. While we congratulate
our friends generally that so valuable a
preparation as the Pain Killer is placed
within their reach, we must be permitted to
rejoice at tbo well-merited success of its
liberal and enterprising proprietor.—-JVori

TESTIMONY OF RECOMMENDATIONS
From Medical gentlemen, Vr* fessors of ihe
highest Opthalmic talent in Augusta, Ga., and
iu the Union :
/ t'Gi'sta, Ga.. December Sth, ISH6.
I have examined the (Gasses <Jf Dr. Bern
hardt, and find them of good quality. Big
testimonials are very numerous and exceed
ingly Haltering. L. A. DUGAS, M. B.
A t'G I'sta, Ga., Dec 7, 1866.
I do most willingly bear my testimony in
favor of the superiority of the Australian
j Crystal—single and double vision spectacles—
over all either kinds. They are constructed
upon the best establßhed ami understood prin
ciples of optics, and their adaptation to tbe
huo an eye in its different condliions of vision
is so perfect, as to render sight or.sy without
effort. In my opinion, none others should be
used, since the eyes once used to those do not
seem to grow old, and by Laving a focus at
any point of the surface, they appear to re
store tho eves to their youthful er cr •.
LEW; D. M. 1).
Avgusta, («a. Dec.7.l^6.
I have examined a great variety of Glasses
manufactured by Professor M. Bernhardt, aud
| in justice to the Professor, must say that his
j Glasses are »>f a superior quality, adapted to
j meet the wants ot ..most every eye, where the
vision is in any way imperfect. 'lho Professor
selected for me a pair of his Australian CtvsUl
Glasses, w eh are of a very superior quality
and workmanship, rendering vision very dis
tinct, almost as ported as in youth. 1 yield
this testimony in favor of ihe Professor’s
Glasses most cheerfully.
C. C. PRITCHARD, M. D.
Augusta. Ga.. Dec. 7, 1866.
I very cordially recommend Prof. M. Bern
hardt to all who may require Glasses.
FORD, aM. and.
Avgusta, Ga., Pec. 7. 1865.
We have examined the Lenses of Professor
Bernhardt, ami consider them superior to tiny
we have seen. They are admirably adapted Lot
only to improve the imperfections of impaired
sight, but to relieve the wearine.-s of vision
which constant study produces. Many of the
Glasses are of new and ingenious contiirauce.
Wo cordially recommend the Professor to all
those who require scion ific optical assistance.

WM. 11. CLARKE,
GREGORY PUG GAN.
Augusta, Ga., Pec. 8,1866.
I have examined the Glasses of Pr. M.
Bernhardt, of Kurope. and have tried them.
They arc very remarkable for their beauty of
wot Kuiausbip, and for their power to assist the
vision. Dr. M. Bernhardt has made Optics
the study of his life, and is evidently most
thoroughly acquainted with the science.
He is a native of Berlin, Prussia, and lias
studied there, but has for several years been a
resident of New York. The diseased aud aged
will tiud great relief from the use of Ins Glasses.
I have seen numerous testimonials t*> the ex
eellenco of his Glasses, and to his skill as an
Optician, and I would recommend him to all
whose vision is impaired either through age or
disease. JOFKPiI It. WILSON,
Pastor First Presbyterian Church.
Savannah, Ga., Nov. 29, 1866.
Thereby certify that Mrs. Davenport has
been affected with Amorousis tor about two
months ; it became almost complete. On the
2d of Not ember last, according to my owe
-advice, she } aecd herself under the charge of
Dr. M. Bernhardt. Ilcr vision has rapidly
improved She can now road small print
with or without glasses.
JUIIIAII HARRIS, M. P-
I fully endorse what Dr. Harris has abort
said. W. N. WAKING, AL P.
Savannah, Nov. 26,
ProJe*Hor J/. Jltruhurdt, Optician and Ucvli*t •
1 cheerfully state to you that a further ac
quaintance, with you ana your most excellent
Glasses, has confirmed my first impressions a*
lo jfonr ill mid their superiority over the
general run. and I recommend all whore
vision is in any way impaired, as mice unfor
tunately is, to avail themselves of your science.
