INAUGURAL ADDRGSS OF GOY. BROWN.
Senttlors and Representatives:'
In entering’upon the discharge of the
laborious and responsible duties of tlie
Executive office (or the fourth term, 1
trust that 1 feel duly-sensible of the ob
ligation which i am under to the peor
pie. of Georgia; for llic renewed evi
dence of continued confidence which
they have recently -given me, after six
years’ service in the most eventful and
trying era of our history. J11 all can
dor, l beg leave to assure you, that I
give utierauce lolhe sentiments of my
heart when I declare, that I feel pro
foundly impressed with the weight of
responsibility which their generous
confidence has imposed upon me, in
this gloomy period of suffering and dis
tress.
Il to he called to preside over the
affairs of a great Stale in times of pro
found peace, is an honor worthy the
ambition of an enlightened statesman,
anil carries with it. lesponsibilities
which our ablest and best uen assume
with diffidence, how great is the obli
gation, and ho.v vast the responsibility,
of him who is invited to the helm ol
Stale, amid the darkness aud gloom
which surround a fieople in the throes
of revolution; when the existence ot
the State and the liberties of her in
habitants are llucalciied by an unscru
pulous, vindictive and powerful foe.
L3ut great as the responsibilities of
the Executive are, let it nul be forgot-,
ten that those of the legislative depart
ment ure no less weighty. Without
the assistance ol your counsels, and the
aid of your calm and wise deliberation,
1 cannot expect to guide the ship of
State, lashed by turbulent waves, safe
ly through the -breakers which lie be
fore her, when she. is constantly tossed
to and fro by angry billows.
I come, Senators and Representa
tives, in this trying hour, to meet you
in a spirit of amity and conciliation,
prepared to sacrifice for harmony eve-
r3 ? thing but principle. Laying aside
all past party predilections and preju
dices, I am prepared to unite with you
in carrying out such measures and en
acting such laws as will promote the
best interest and perpetuate the rights
and the sovereignty of our noble old
State; sustain our gallant armies in the
Geld, maintain their loved ones at
home, and establish forever our Con
federate independence by the triumph
ant success of our glorious cause.
Trusting and believing that your bo
soms are heaved by similar-impulses,
and that you.are prepared to immolate
prejudice and passion upon the burn
ing altar of patriotism, 1 cannot doubt
that you have assembled to take har
monious counsel together, to maintain
the great principles of constitutional lib
erty which underlie the very corner
stone of our government, and the Con
stitution the very watchword of our
cause.
Driven by 1 lie injustice and oppres
sion of those with whose ancestors our
fathers were companions in arms arid
around the council board! to sunder
the tics which hound us in a connec
tion profitable only to them, but ruin
ous to us, we proclaimed our indepen
dence and our inalienable right of self-
government. As we could no. longer
live in harmony together, we admitted
in them the same right of self-govern
ment which we claimed for ourselves.
We respected not only their political
rights, but their rights of private prop
erty. We neither burned their cities,
insulted their wives, desecrated the
altors of their religion, nor disturbed
the resting places of their dead. We
only asked to be permitted to depart in
peace.
They rejected our peace offerings,
denied our right to govern ourselves,
spurned our propositions for amicable
adjustment, and waged a cruel and un
just war upon us, which . they have
prosecuted with unmitigated fury and
more than savage ferocity. Having
staked life, character, independence,
and the liberties of ouiselves*and our
posterity upon the issue, we have
Hi row 11 our proud banner to the breeze,
and appealed lu the God of battles to
sustain the right, and give us victory
over those who have not only wronged
us, but who now contemplate our sub
jugation and our ruin. With God’s
help we must, weean, we^vill succeed.
Indeed there is now no half-way ground
left us. We must either exhibit to the
world a new-born power, in’, whose
midst is a temple of liberty, whose
splendor and magnificence eclipses all
others, or shrouded in darkness and
chains, we must sink to the position of
the most abject slaves. ^
To insure success at is only necessa
ry that our people endure huidships
and privations with the saint-, fortitude
and determination, which prompted
the action of our ancestors of 177G.
Our troops in the field have, set a
glorioHS example, which chajQenges the
approbation, and merits thb' imitation
ofaU'who remain at home. With more
than Homan firmness tlifcy have endur
ed fatigues, privations and dangers of
the most embarrassuig character. With
more than. Spartan valor they have met
the heavy coiuiims of the _enemy. in
deadly conflict, and have driven back
their broken ranks iirconslernation and
dismay. Often thinly clad, with naught • GONFEDERATE SUGAR,

A noble band of patriotic heroes! they
have known no ambition but to do their
duly, no interest but to serve their
country, and no fear but to offend their
maker. With Heaven’s blessing upon
them, such, men, battling in such a
cause, afe iu vincible.
Let us as legislators stand by their
constitutional rights here, while they
defend our liberties iu the field; and let
us provide for their support, and for
the wants of their families at home, as
long as a dollar of the wealth of the
Stale remains subject to taxation.
But I must not forget the meed of
praise so justly due the noble women
of the Confederate Stales. They have
saved millions Of dollars to the common
treasury by the work of their own
hands. They have fed the hungry and
clothed the naked. But this is not their
noblest work. Woman’s virtues shine
most brilliantly iu the hour of distress,
when adversity tries men’s souls.
When on. account of the superior
numbers and other advantages of the
enemy, defeat for a time has attended
our arms; and .confidence has waned
and strong men have trembled; then
the feeble, yet potenj. voice of woman
has been heard, pleading the cause of
liberty and posterity in sweet pathetic
tones, which have piereetl tiie patriot’s
heart, and nerved the hero’s arm to
strike the blow, which has rolled back
the dark cloud of war, and caused to
be reflected from its black and angry
folds, the resplendent sun beams of re
turning confidence* and reanimated
hope. *’!
But if you would see wfoman in her
noblest charity, go’to the couch of the
sick or wounded sodAer, where like the
good Samaritan she pours iu the oil
and the w’ine, and soothes the suffering
with words of encouragement and con
solation; or see her kneeling by the
side of the dying hero, and as his pant
ing spirit struggles for release from its
cold tenement, and the clammy sweat
courses down his manly brow, hear her
voice of supplication asdffRding to Hea
ven with his dying groans, pleading for
his acceptance into the saints’ everlast
ing rest.
Without the assistance of the women
of the first revolution our liberties
would never have been achieved. And
without the energetic efforts and moral
support of the wives, mothers, sisters
and daughters of the Confederate
States, our liberties would before this
lime have been lost. With their con
linued effort and God’s blessing upon
it, we will yet avenge the blood of their
slain relatives, and they shall sec their
country free, and sing the song of de.'
liverance as Aaron’s sister sang, when
God had given victory by his outstretch
ed arm and his Almighty power.
Remembering the sacrifices vve as a
people have made, the sufferings which
we have endured, the noble Southern
blood which our enemies have spilt,
the deadly hatefwhich they feel toward
us, the cruel wrongs which our females
have encountered, and the degradation,
bondage and chains \vhich await us
and our posterity if we are subjugated;
let us humbly and fetvenlly invoke the
aid of Almighty Powei, and laying
aside all past differences, and personal
considerations, let us gather around
our country’s altar, and while we ar
dently desire peace upon honorable
terms, let us here again renew the so
lemn pfodge to each other, that come
life or death, come- weal or woe, we
.will never sheathe the sword till con
stitutional liberty is established, Geor
gia is free, and these Confederate Slates
are recognized by all the world, an in
dependent power.
SWEARING.
The absurdity and utter folly of
swearing is admirably set forth in the.
following anecdote ot Belzebub anil his
*
morning,
eu—one
imps:
The latter went out
each to command his set <&w
the murderers, another tbf liars, and
another the swearers, etc. ^*At evening
they slopped in the igouth of a cave.
The question arose among them as to
who commanded the # meanest set of

C.liinese’sugar cane. Many, perhaps, have
not. heard that it would make good sugar,
while many others, who have heard it,
still doubt it ^ and my object is simply to
bear witness to the fact that it will make
'ail" excellent article of sugar, and at the
same time an abundant yieW. . I have
just finished making all 1 desired to'make,
and now have a good article of sugar for
home consumption—consequently, t have
tlie testimony of the sugar itself.
The process is simple and easy, and as
plain as the “baudwriting 011 tbc wall.” I11
the first place, tin; cane must not only be
ripe, but fully ripe, aud the best test of its
ripeness is the hardness and brittleness of
its seed, never being governed by its gen
eral appearance. Would you attempt to
make meal or flour .of your coin or wheat
while it is in a milky or doughy state ?
Then apply the same test to the Chinese
cane. It is my opinion • that the prime
cause of thin, dark, sour syrup, is owingto
the greenness of the caue from which it is
made.
The cane boiug fully ripe, it is ground*
and the juice is boiled iu the usual way.
After it is put on to boil, some alkali
should be added, either ley, or soda, or
lime water, yet I know no special qvianti
ly to be added. It makes very well to
add a half pint of lime water occasionally,
for three or four times, S'or a kettle of 60
or 80 gallons, uqtil the scum ceases to rise
on top, which should ’be removed with a
strainer as fast as it rises. All the alkali,
of whatever kind, can be added at once,
if you choose, to do so. The lire should
never he too hot for the first half hour, to'
enable you to skim it well. After that it
cau he boiled rapidly, if you choose, until
it is ready to take tiff', which should uot be
too soon, as thick syrup is much to he pre
ferred, provided you wish to make syrup
of it. When it has reached the stage ot
thick syrup, very little more boiling will
convert it into sugar, which will granu
late as soon as it cools._ By bailing a lit
tle once or twice and experimenting for
sugar, you will always know at what stage
to remove it from tiuwkeltle better than I
cau tell you, though 1 didn’t make a single
failure. After removing it from the kettle,
placo it iu some vessel a short while until
some of its heat has left, aud iheu pour it
into your barrels, witli the hoops a little
loose, iu order tlftt the molasses may drip
from it; of which there will not he as much
as many might suppose. Do not stir it
after removing it from the kettle, as is the
common custom, or the grains will be small
aud fine.

Confederate States Senator.—The
Savannah Republican recommends Hou.
Thomas Butler King for the Senatorship,
to succeed Ex-Gov. Johnson. It urges
his eminent fitness for the position, on the
grounds—1st, oMiis unquestioned ability,
his established statesmanship, and his en
larged experience as a legislator; 2d. of
geographical considerations, which,though
secondary, should not he disregarded when
perfectly consistent with the great con
trolling requisite of^tness. - It thinks
that Mr. King’swintimate acquaintance
with commercial and naval affairs would
make him a most valuable Senator, and
secure tor him the position of Cliairinau of
the Committee on Naval Affairs.
We agree with tire Republican in its
estimate of Mr. King’s abilities, and feel
satisfied that Georgia, by his electiou,
would maintain her high and commandin
rank iu the Senate.— Telegraph.

ANTI-DOG SPEECH
We are indebted to somebody fo# a pam
phlet copy of a speech delivered by Mr.
McCue,‘before the House of Delegates of
Virginia,' upon a bill fo'protect sheep and.
increase the supply of wool. It is a \ery
long speech ami full of information upon
the wool crop of the'Coiifederacy/and the
obstacles to its increase. Among these,
Mr. McCue estimates in Virginia 600,000
dflgs, which he says destroy annually in
that State 200,000 sheep, worth thirteen
millions of dollars. He says twenty-five
per cent, of the flo^s of the South are an
nually lost by do{^, and if this be so, we
leave the reader to figure jip himself the
probable cost of dogs to the Southern Con
federacy. Mr. McCue makes an unfavora
ble exhibit of the wool product of the
country, showing it does not amount to
two pounds to the head of our population.
The anti-dog law is a standing joke iu
the Georgia Legislature—a subject of in
finite jest, whenever introduced, and yet,
if we inay believe Mr. McCue, or if you
will credit the testimony or the first intel
ligent farmer you may meet, it is one of
the most serious of subjects. In truth, to
keep our dogs in whole skins we have con
sented to send forth our soldiers to battle
with the storms of winter, clad, for the most
part, in cotton, and with a very moderate
supply of blankets. Sheep in our country
flourish with Lift little -care and are the
most piotitable of farm stock. They re
quire little food and no. shelter. But for
the dogs, wool would long agoYuive formed
a heavy item of our exports and the war
would have found us abundantly supplied
with wool as with cotton. We think it is
to he legreted that the ludicrous light in
which our Legislatures will persist in view
ing a dog-tax or a dog restriction, siioulp
rendcsr the production of wool aud mutton
so difficult in Georgia. Both we assure
them, are very good iu their place.
RESTOiirNi; the Union.—A Mississippi
correspondent of the Atlanta Appeal,
writes on the 13th, respecting the late raid
of the Hessians iu the viciuity of Holy
Springs :
Ou their retreat, passing through Wyatt,
they burned every house i# the place, and
would not permit any of tho sufferers to
save anything—not even wearing apparel.
In the western portion of the country
through which they retreated they burned
all tho residences and barnes. They also
destroyed tho little town of Tallaloosa, sir
miles west pf Holy Springs, as they pass
ed through lt._ On yesterday, from *tl»e
cupola of the court-house in Holy Springs,
the smoke of as many as fifteen or twenty
fires could plainly be seen all along the
rout of their retreat, and it is believed not
a single residence or barn in that part of
the country has escaped them.
IIow to Dye Wool Gray—In the course
of some experiments by my wife last year,
iu regard to dying wool aind cotton, it was
ascertained that if wool be immersed in a
decoctiou of the sliced fruit of the pome
granate, prepared io an iron vessel, a per
manent and beautiful gray color will be
tbc result, which may be varied from the
lightest drab to a deep black. The light
er shades require no mordant, the black
should be set with copperas. The shade,
of course, will vary with the changing
proportion of fruit and water. By this
simple process the tedious labor of hand
mixing is saved, while perfect uuiformity
and icgularity of color is obtained.-
Cotton thread may also be dyed blue
by soaking well iu the juice of elderber
ries washing in warm suds, and setting with
copperas. Previously to immersion iu the
warm suds, it is a royal purple. Though
not a fast color, it is as permanent as any
of our indigenous dyes.—Mobile Reg.
Tragic.—Quite a tragic affair, we are
informed, took place recently in Coosa
county, the particulars of which are briefly
as follows: Two soldiers of the— Ala
bama regiment, who had been captured
about fourteen months since, and who had
not beeu heard from by their families du
ring that time, xvere recently exchanged,
and hastened, with all possible speed, to
their respective homes in Coosa, expect
ing of course, to find an affectionate wel
come. But, alas ! their wives bad re-mar
ried in the mean time—haviug concluded
that tbo object of their earliest affections
had gone to the “land of hereafter.” No.
f was apprised of the circumstance when
within a mile of home, and the shock -was
so overwhelming that lie fainted and died.
No. 2 journeyed on, little thinking that
his spouse would be so unfaithful. He
reached home, and was received by his
wife in an uncontrollable fit of weeping.
“What can be the matter with Betsey 1”
be inquired of a neighbor who chanced to
be iu - the house. “I can’t •imagine,” re
plied his friend, “unless it is because she’s
got oue husband too many.” The truth
flashed upon him. He succumbed, sicken
ed, aud at last accouuts was, despaired of.
The individual whu had beeu acting as his
substitute, on being informed of the arri
val of the principal, sought his presence
immediately, assured him that, he didn’t
mean any harm, and departed at once to
parts unknown.
There is a moral in the above which Vve
ueed uot point out.- May it be observed.
