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. - S. ecial Notices.

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.
