The DAILY PRESS ie alee the
Official Paper of the City of
Aupnll, bavin* been elected by
the Cltjr Connell ae their Official
Organ.
Is it Dishonorable t
One objection urged against the ac
ceptance by the people, ol the terms
proposed in the Sherman bill, is that it
is dishonorable for those who can accept
it without loss of political rights or
privileges to save themselves at the
expense of those who are disfranchised
by the bill. If the bill were of our own
adoption—if we had the power by non
action to save our friends from the pro
posed disability, the objection would
be sound. In deteronce to this senti
ment, the Constitutional Amendment
was refused.
But we now see that we did not save
those affected by it from the wrath ol
Cougress, but rather exposed them
to harsher terms than those at first
offered; and it is evident that if
we spurn these second overtures, a
third, more severe and odious, will be
imposed. Therefore, are wo acting in
bad faith toward the class most effected
by it in advising its acceptance ?
When the President offered the differ
ent States constitutions repudiating the
war debt, and thereby reducing to beg
gary thousands who had in good faith
invested in State securities, believing
them to be safeiu any contingency—they
were accepted, and it was not deemed
dishonorable, because it was believed
to be the shortest road to an end ot our
troubles. That act caused more actual
suffering than can possibly result from
this bill. It not only violated the faith
of the State, but took the bread from
the mouths of thousands of widows and
orphans. It was forced upon the State
by the logic of events, and we have not
heard of any of those who assented to
the measure accused of acting dishon
orably. So, in accepting the severe
terras embraced in the Military bill, as
a means of saving our people from
harsher measures, and to put an end to
the confusion and strife which are rain,
ing every business interest, it cannot be
justly said that indifference is manifest
ed for the hardship of those disabled
by the bill. We have no power to save
them if we would. If a man were over
board at sea, and altera manly but vain
effort to sive his fellows, accepted some
means offered to save himself, would he
be acting dishonorably to those left be
hind ? We think not.
The Georgia Press.
The fact, that among the Georgia
papers who favor the prompt action of
our State authorities, in reference to the
Military bill, are two or three who have
been known as loyal, or Radical jour
nals, is seized upon by some of our
cotetnporaries to prejudice the public
against other journals who oppose a
non-action policy. It is gravely inti
mated that the act of Congress, giving
the printing of the laws to one loyal
paper in each district, is influencing
journals in taking this new position.
Such ungallant flings are worse than
gratuitous, and we regret that there are
any so indifferent to the necessity of
harmonious action, as to indulge them.
If we cannot all agree, let us differ in
good temper, and leave Him, who alone
knowoth the heart, to judge of motives.
The taunt3 at Ex-Governor Brown, in
dulged by papers once eminent for high
tone, can do that gentleman no harm,
and only mar the character of the jour
nalism of the State, and detract from
its influence, both at home and abroad.
The time has come when people must
think and act for themselves, and the
stale old cry of ‘•unsound” and “weak
kneed,” and “hunting a soft place,”
with which demagogues were wont to
denounce those who differed from them,
is no longer an effective rallying cry
with the masses. It is true that a
majority of the press of the State either
oppose the acceptance of the hill, or arc
waiting the progress of events. But
whether ihe number or character of
those presses or individuals who urge
the acceptance of the bill be great or
small, we shall not be deterred from
pursuiug what we cooceivo to he the
line of duty. It is gratifying to find
that substantial, thinking people appre
ciate our course, and believe with us,
that it is the path of safety.
Tnocnt.K with Indians in Tkxas.—
The Austin (Texas) Intelligencer hag
the following: “On the 10th of last
month, a considerable party of Indians
visited the settlement in Ran Saba
county, and carried off a large drove ol
horses belonging io the sdttlcrs. A
small party ol whites attacked the Indi-.
uns, but wo learn they were worsted.
I he redskins were too numerous, and were
armed with six shooters and Sharp’s
rifles.
. ~^ c Minnesota Legislature recently
visited a circus.
The Issue of Feet verwe the letee
of Principle,
We find the following article in the
Montgomery Atfwrfiser, of the 9th inst,
the official jourual of the State of
Alabama:
Those who are ooufounding the ques
tion whether a people should put upon
Ihem-elvea measures to which they are
opposed, ou principle, with .the accept
tnce of laws, however repugnant to their
views, when forced upon them, are com
mittihg a great error.
Kvcry magnanimous enemy must re
spect that manly opposition to the Con
stitutional Amendment on the oart of
our people, or Legislature, which gave
evidence of a belief that iu prescript.™
features are inherently wrong and ought
not to find *0 abiding place in our
system of free and republican govern
ments, but that same enemy cannot fail
to admire the spirit of obedience to
lawful authority which, whatever may
have been its objections to a proposed
measure, yet when it becomes a law of
the land readily yields assent and comes
in faithfully and frankly to its support.
Such we believe to be the position of
the people of Alabama, and hence we
ur<rc with uncommon concern the call
ing of the Legislature by the Governor,
to devise means for the maintenance of
lawful authority m the State of Alabama,
under the Military Law of Congress.
The fact that the Legislature did not
adopt the Constitutional Amendment, at
the precise time and in the precise way
suggested by the Governor, is no evi
dence to our minds that it is not now
the imperative duty of Governor Patton
to call that body together with a view
to the speedy reorganization of the
Stale on the terms provided for by act
of Congres. We do not believe the
members of the Legisture such a set of
asses that they are incapable of distin
guishing between the exigencies of the
situation now portending and their sim
ple rejection of the Constitutional
Amendment whilst there ■ was a possi
bility of its defeat. Then, it was not
by any means certain that an American
Congress would go to such extremities as
to substitute military law for the will of
the people of a State. Now, the tact is
so potent that it may be read of all men,
and there is no hope for us, save in the
prompt and unequivocal acceptance of
the terms offered.
As for any interference by the Su
preme Court, ■ or President, or people of
the North which may save us from the
wrath ot Congress if we shall fail to put
our house in order for the’ehangc that
has come over ns, these are all snares
lor the hliud which may lure us ou to
destruction, but cannot be relied upon
to remove the disabilities imposed by
the conquerors upon the conquered.
The hope for men who are true to the
interests of the country, is for the State
to adapt itself to the new situation, and
throw the protection ol' lawful authority
around the rights of every citizen. The
freed men are just as much entitled to
suffrage, until otherwise decided by
competent legal authority, as they are
entitled to the rewards of their labor.
They are our friends—they have nursed
11s in infancy, stood by 11s and our fami
lies during all the trials and temptations
of the late war, and been our faithful
laborers and co-workers iu the house,
field, and work shop since the termina
tion of hostilities. Shall we wait to
have them alienated from ns and endan
ger the peace and security of society by
letting them fall a prey to tbeir and our
enemies.
Let the State step forth as their friend
at the ballot box, as it bas done in the
courts, and the inevitable law of sell
interest will continue the kind relations
heretofore subsisting between the two
races.
A responsibility which no pen enn
depict now rests upon the authorities ot
the State. It is the duly of the Gover
nor to call an extra session of the Leg
islature, and it will be the duly of the
Legislature, when it assembles, to meet
the emergency like men. We leel as
sured that they will do it, and trust there
will be no division among well meaning
persons upon'a matter of such moment.
There is yet no reason to believe that
the powers at Washington would favor
any proceeding outside of the State
organization, if their laws could be
enforced inside of it.
Chinese Doctors.
Dr. Wiley, who has been a number of
years in China, delivered a lecture to
the members of the Academy of Medi
cine of Cincinnati, last night, at the
Ohio Medical College, on the state ot
medicine in that country. He spent
the most of his time in the city of Fon
chow, containing about nine hundred
thousand of a population within its
walls. He established a hospital there,
treating every one free, and often came
in contact with a Chinese physician.
The physician and priest treat the
patient at the same time. The princi
pal treatment consists in charms, both
for curing and preventing the disease,
although they have many good remedies
and theories in regard to proper treat
ment.
Tho physician cures the disease with
his remedies, the priest by firing off
crackers, beating instruments, making
the patient jump out of bed and run
about the room, etc., helps to cure him
by driving away evil spirits that cause
the disease. The medical profession is
more of a trade than profession. There
are no medical schools, and students
learn from private teachings. Every
one who discovers a remedy keeps it a
secret, and hands it down to bis friends,
who also keeps its secret. The physi
cian there, as here, ranks as a gentle
man, yet he does not rank with literary
men of the country. There is no
science in their profession, and their
practice consists in an accumulation of
facts from observation.
They .have no unatomy. The dissec
tion of the human body is forbidden by
law, Btid any one found doing it is put
to death, Neither do they know any
thing of physiology. And the circula
tion of the blood and the beating of the
pulse is not yet understood. Their the
ory in regard to the pulse is, that it is
caused by the swinging back and forth
of the blood. They consider the pulse
in one part of the body different from
that of another. They have two hun
dred different kinds of pulse. Mania
is referred to the influence of the moon,
nnd a Chinaman could not be bribed to
sleep out iu the moonlight, for fear of
its evil effects.
They have a large materia medica,
but most of their remedies are very
foolish. For instance: The blood ol
a lion or tiger would be prescribed for
him who'nedded sdme of the tiger about
him. Mercury and iron are the only
mineral medicines used, but are useu
extensively. They are fine botanists,
ami have a large collection of herbs for
medicines. In prescribing, fifteen to
twenty remedies are mixed into one
prescription. If the patient dies the
physician can be prosecuted, and, if
found guilty of malpraetice, wilt have
to support tbo family of the deceased
out of his own purse. Instead of bleed
ing, as is practiced bore, the arm is soar
’i6«d with a manly bladad knife, and
than a certain class of persons are era-
f loved to suck the blood irorn the arm.
11 credible as it may aeem, they also
suck matter from torts, abscesses, and
boils. v:
The Chinese kave a horror for water,
and never drink it, except as medicine.
Their drink is tea altogether. The
Chinese physician is superior to all
others in one particular; he has a sure
cure for hydrophobia, but the remedy Is
kept secret. A great many among the
population have somtj affections of the
eye, owing to the shaving off of the eye
brows and lashes, and also from the filth
in which they live. Surgery is but little
practiced. Amputation is never thought
of; and for a dislocation of the elbow, a
chicken pounded to death and made
into a poltice is used, which, of course,
seldom effects a cure. But with all
their absurdities they have some good
remedies, which, if we can only find
out, will add greatly to our own list of
curatives.
We take the above from the Doctor's
remarks, and, coming from high autho
rity, can l>e depended upon as being
true. His remarks were entertaining,
and his lecture had but one fault, it was
too short.— Exchange.
The Opinion op a Fueedman.—We
copy the following from the Albany,
Ga., News of Saturday last:
A Negro’s Opinion. —The more in
telligent of the blacks are no little con
cerned about the state of the country.
The other day two men of color were
talking upon this subjec t to one of our
citizens. They said they deplored the
condition of affairs as hey now stand.
They could see nothing but ruin and
constant confusion and turbulence for
their race under the Military bill. The
enfranchising act they regard as the
greatest misfortune befal.ling them.
They feared future developments, lor
they knew that designing men will ope
rate upon the more ignorant and credu
lous of the race, and under the com
bined influence of bail white men and
had black men, they can see no tjscape
from utter ruin. Tiie bestowment of the
elective franchise is, iu their opinion,
just'.en years too soon. One of the ne
groes was a mechanic. He remarked
that he saw now more necessity for be
ing polite and respectful to the whites
than ever before. ‘‘My own race/’ said
he, “cannot furnish me with labor, by
whicli 1 can support iny family, there
fore 1 must look to the whites for em
ployment. They will not hire me uu
less I behave myself, and merit their
esteem.” There is philosophy, there is
good sense in this statement.
Meeting op Colored Citizens.—On
Thursday night last a large meeting,
composed of white and colored citizens,
was held at the Military Hall, Mr. EL
Judge Moore was called to the chair,
and stated the object of the meeting,
viz : To take into consideration the pre
sent condition of political affairs in this
State. Several speeches were made;
after which a motion was offered and
carried, that the chairman be instructed
to appoint a committee, whose duty it
shall be to draft a platform and resolu
tions for the organization of a national
party in the State. This committee is
to report in two weeks. The new party
is to be composed of citizens of every
color—the only requisite qualification
being a willingness to vote, or be voted
for, under the new regime about to dawn
in these parts. —Charleston News, 11 th.
A Book Incident. —A book collector
at Lille, France, recently purchased, at
a stall, a volume at least a century old.
but on examining his purchase, some of
the leaves appeared to be wanting. A
closer inspection, however, showed that
in three places the edges of the opposite
pages had been pasted together, and in
each pocket thus formed a 100 franc
note was concealed. The amateur, 011
inquiry, learned that the hook had been
purchased at the sale of a man recently
deceased, and the finder immediately
restored the notes to his soil, a carpen
ter, in straightiNied circumstances, who
had just, been obliged to sell a part of
his furniture to pay for his father’s
funeral.
—At a brilliant wedding reception at
2Gth street, New York, last Thursday
evening, one of the ladies present wore
a magnificent dress, the trail of which
is reported to have been from six to
eight fc-et in length. -

WILCOX, GIBBS & CO’S
MANIPULATED GUANO!
This article is being prepared by us at our place of business
in this City, where we invite Planters and others interested t:> call and examine our
stock, and witness the preparation of the above named MANURE. It is composed
entirely of pure and unadulterated GUANOS (of which 25 per cent of tho whole mixture
is warranted to be pore No. 1 Peruvian Guano), and.we warrant each and every package
of it 10 contain the exact ingredients and same proportions as tho sample analyzed by
Prof. Shopard, whose analysis and report we annex, as follows :
Charleston, S. C., February 16th, 1867.
Me**r%. Wilcox, Gibbß A Cos. :
Gentlemen : The following is my analysis and report upon the sample you have
placed in my hands, of Wilcox, Gibbs A Co.’s Manipulated Guano :
Hygrometric water 18.60
Combined water and organic matter rich in ammoniacal salts 18.00
Phosphate of lime 44.50
C rbonate of lime 1.80
Insoluble silicious mutter, with considerable traces of per oxide of iron 15.80
Chloride of sodium, sulphates of ammonia, lime, and soda, with loss 1.80
100.00
The present sample shows a very advantageous mixture. It has enough of Peruvian
Guano (say 25 per cent.) for any soil or crop ; while the great bulk of the preparation
is obviously an unadulterated natural Guano, rich in organic matter, with considerable
already formed Ammonia (and the material for' its continued production as required by
the crop), together with 44.50 per cent, of Phosphate of Lime, nearly two per cent, of
which is in a soluble state. If kept up to the standard of this sample, there is no hazard in
predicting that lands treated with 250 or 300 pounds of it to the acre, will be placed in
au effective condition for any crop.
Very respectfully, yours, CHARLES UPHAM SHEPARD.
Knowing the composition, as well ai judging from tho analysis and report of Prof.
Shepard, we are confident it will prove to be an ex'*el enfc MANURE, and pay any
Planter handsomely who uses it judiciously. We would recommend the use of 175 to 200
pounds per acre for Cotton or Corn ; 250 to 300 pounds for Wheat, and that it be applied
the same as other Guanos—under the bed for Cotton, in the bill for Corn, and broadcast
lor W r heat. This Guano is ready for use, all the lumps having been thoroughly ground,
and the whole passed through a solve before packing, and it is a very handsome article
in appearance and condition. It is packed in barrels ot about 300 pounds, and bags of
200 pounds, and tbo price will be unifoim, as follows : SOS per Ton of 2,000 pounds,
Cash.
Our Agents will sell at the some price, with necessary expenses added.
We are now prepared to deliver this Guano in quantities to suit, and solicit orders
for the same, which will be promptly filled.
We will also keep, both here and in Savannah, a good supply of Pure No. 1
PERUVIAN GUANO, which will be sold at the market price; also, Pure No. 1
PHG3NIX GUANO, at $55 per Ton of 2,000 pounds, in Savannah, or SOO here—Cash.
All orders should bo addressed to us at AUGUSTA, GA.
