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.” New Advertisements.

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 uevee General Adctrliter.

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. 11. 11. BIG NON, M. P., JOHN L CO Lb. MAN, M. P. W. li. DOUGHTY, M. P. 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.
