CF" Tbe election in Savannah for May
or and Aldermen, was au overwhelming
triumph to the Conservatives. Col. Sere
ven polled 2,977 ; C. II. Ilopkins, Radi
cal, 9G7. The Republican says:
“And one word as to the means by which
tins revolution has Loen accomplished. ]t
has not been done by fighting tbe negro,
hut by friendly intercourse with him, eu
lightening his mind upon his true interests
and duty, showing his identification with
the Southern people in all things, the wil
lingness of the latter to do him justice and
confer on him every right that he is capa
lie of exercising discreetly, by exposing
the fraud and wickedness of his Radical
deceivers, and in all matters acting fairly
and squarely toward him. This is the
policy that has opened the eyes of the
colored people and inspired them with
confidence in the Southern whites. Satis
fied on these points, they feel no further
interest in politics, and are perfectly wil
ling that white men whom they know to
he sensible and honest, shall have exclu
sive control of the government. Let this
same system be pursued everywhere in the
South — act fairly toward the negro, and
make li ini feel that he is safe, and deceive
him in nothing—and our word for it, in
twelve months Radicalism will find no
foothold in our broad domain.
SHADE TREES.
M e would call the attention of the Street
1 ommittoe to the fact that now is the time
to se f out shade trees it you desire to make
a sure thing of their living. Do not put it
off a day longer than you can help. Let ns j
have a beautiful row from the corner of Lib :
erty and Greene streets to tbo Cemetery. |
The little fibre roots are now just beginning I
to grow, and if tho free is transplanted
this month, tbo chances are ten to one in
its favor. It is all folly to plant in the
the early Spring; it is labor thrown away,
and trees destroyed and made only fit for
firewood.
EPThe Population of Atlanta, wo find
from tbe Atlanta Constitution, is as fol
lows :
Total white population, 15,982
Total colored population, 13.1S4
d otal males, 7,462
Total females and children, 21,704
Population of the city proper, 29,166
To this is legitimately added those who
reside at Bellwood, Kirkwood, We6t End,
Wheelerville, Decatur, Stone Mountaiu,
Covington, Madison, and other points in
the vicinity, who do business in the city.
Six thousand is a fair estimate for these.
This will bring up tbe population to 35,166.
Wo should call that population to a city
at long range, and a pleasant stretch of
the imagination. We are astonished at
the modesty of our cotemporary. He ;
should have taken in to the city of Au- ;
gusta, and then have reached down to
Macon as tbo suburbs. Own up, that 29,-
166 is the legitimate population, and wind
up by saying, we are gaining rapidly, !
which we know that you are doing. Three j
cheers to the Gate City at any rate.
Judgment :—That faculty of the mind
wherein the organs of reason and observa- |
tion are so happily’ balanced, as to give to j
the possessor that clearness of perception j
that savors almost of infallibility. Sexu- j
ally speaking, both men and women in |
Judging of eacL other, are governed more j
by feeling, inclination and passiou than !
by a cool, collected judgment. If a wo-j
uiaa admires a man, she invariably thinks j
Weil of his morals and his talents ; gain :
ber love, and you secure her esteem ; and j
8 r eat faults are smothered out of 6igbt, or
a pologized for, or explained away by her
cuiifiding aud affectionate nature. A man
ls carried away by’ a pretty face, and im-
a b' n es that he can mould the character of
bis wife to suit his whims aud fancy. In
balancing the motives of the sex, the ad
vantage is geuerally on the side of the
Woilihu,
LiAns :—“Verbal forgers, stifiers of the
truth, aud murders of fact.” Economisers
of v eracity’ and imaginative deceivers; ex-
aggerators of occurrences and hyperbolical
talkers. Some people are liars not direct
ly (rorn sini-ier or interested motives, but
simply from a disregard to strict truth —
I here are oihers, again, who not pie: s «1
or impressed by "Naked Truth,” ti.i k
she should be dressed np to be really in
viting— in her case, “beauty unadorned is
most adorned.”
liiere are fashionable liars, made so,
from fashionable society ; religious liars,
better known as hypocrites ; moral liars,
who talk virtue in the day time, but woo
Venus lovingly under the shades of night ;
money liars, who will refuse a friend or
creditor,under the plea of no funds,but tee
ing a speculation, has thousands in hand ;
legal liars, those who never want “the
truth and nothing but tbe truth” if against
their client ; political liars, who think
misrepresentation and vilification, argui
ment and “that a lie well stuck to is as
good as the truth ;” general liars, those
who pretend to be what they really are
not, and of whom the world is full.
Woman’s Rights A right to be
loved, to be cherished and to be honored ;
a right to make her home happy and iu

young minds committed to her tender care,
and implant in them such principles as to
fit them for the duties of life ; a right to
impress the sterner sex with her gentle

DIED,
In this city, nn the 18th iust., Mr. Muses Pitt
man, iu the 56lh year of his age, leaving the sweet
consolation to his afflicted family and friends, that
in life he commanded the respect and esteem of
his fellow-citizens—in death, he met the grim mes
senger with a calm serenity which betokened a
bright hope of blissful immortality.
\Y7E PROPOSE to issue on the 15th of No-
vv veniber, and on the 15th of every month
thereafter a paper of 32 pages, to bo devoted ex
clusively to Agriculture, Horticulture and matters
relating lo the Field and Fireside.
While we do not desire to disparage any of the
agricultural publications which are now receiving
public patronage, we do not believe that any of
them exactly covers the ground which we propose
to occupy.
We intend to issue a first-class paper, both as to
matter and execution. We shall employ the best
talent which the country affords iu overy depart
ment, and we intend to spare no pains to make
the paper a reliable authority to all seeking infor
mation on everything relating to
The Farm and the Household.
Eminent practical agriculturists will contribute
articles concerning the Preparation aud Culture
of the Soil. ,
Skilled Horticulturists and fruit growers will
keep our readers posted in regard to the Garden
and Orchard.
Persons of acknowledged experience and skill
in the raising and care ot stock will devote their
attention fo tljis important subject.
The Domestic; Department of the Household.
The kitchen, the larder, the store-room, and the
fowl yard—witli approved recipes in all branches
of housewifery, shall be attended to carefully.
We have made arrangements to illustrate the
text with appropriate wood engravings, and while
the greater portion of the paper will be devoted to
the instruction aud benefit, of the heads of the
house, the amusement of the young people shall
not be neglected.
The covers and a few pages at tho end of each
number of tbe Southern Farm and Home will be
reserved for advertisements, and will bo a most
valuable medium for business men to communi
cate with the public.
As we propose to issue a large edition of tbe
first number, which will be published the day pre
vions to the commencement of the State Fair, we
would invite our friends aud patrons to make ear
ly application for the limited space which we can
set apart for advertisements.
