public importance to Georgians, I beg
a small amount of space iu your pop
ular journal, and I’ll be brief:
I» every mu# at a paper printed
ia this otey, called the True Georgian,
the following glaring paragraph meets
the reader’s eye:
OUB MOTTO—VICTORY.
THE DAILY TRUK UEOR
“ GIAN WILL FIGHT IT OUT ON
!„ 'CHE ACCEPT-THE-SITUATION
aiMSB«b.a.to.o(»t .PLATFORM AT ALL HAZARDS.
•AT ANY COST, AND THROUGH
ALL SEASONS.
The editor of that pojier is also
blatant about hia Democracy, and
tries to make superficial readers
believe that he is a very chevalier
Bayard in toe cause—sane puer et
sane repreehe—and that ta the espe
cial keeping of him and his so-called
True Georgian, has been confided all
that the Democratic party of Georgia
hold sacred now, or hope for in the
future 1
Now, some of ns in Georgia who
did not act with the Radical jxirty in
iis palmy days, as well as some of ns
Who did not nominate Grant for
or play the extreme part:
san in aid of Bullock's election, do
not altogether appreciate this new
fledged Democracy whiqh has just
sprang up in our bailiwiok; and it is
upon this point I seek information.
If I am corr*ct!y informed, this
great Ajax of the True Georgian, but
recently coming here from the far-off
Territory of Idaho, was formerly the
editor of the Nero Era newspaper, and
as such aided as largely as any other
man (Hulbert and Varney Gaskill
excepted) in declaring our present
Chief Magistrate to be elected; was
in hill fellowship with the Radical
party in all its actings and doings in
unlawfully amending the National
Constitution, and placing the whole
civil establishment of Georgia under
the control of ignorant negroes, car
pet-baggers and corrupt political ad
venturers, who have bankrupted the
Treasury, made a mockery of the Ju
diciary, demoralised labor, and dam
aged our every material interest
From a National stand-point, it may
be said, that the mighty man of the
True Georgian (so-called) was in zeal
ous co-operation with a party whose
record is even more injurious and
damaging to the whole people. Suf
fice it, that none of the old land
marks have escaped its sacriligious
touch; and the end is not yet A
centralized despotism is what it fur
ther seeks!
This is toe situation briefly
summed up; this is what Radicalism
has accomplished, and what the edi
tor of the True Georgian helped to
accomplish. There has been no con
cession by that party, it adheres to its
l>a>t record—proposes to undo noth
ing—but continues to press forward
on its mission of ruin.
And now, claiming to wear the ha
biliments of Democracy, and before
an intelligent community, with un
blushing effrontery, the editor of the
7V«« (so-called) Georgian absolutely
reiterates and endorses, in effect, all
that he has said in past, and not only
proposes himself to slick to all the dev
ilment he has done as a partisan in
the Radical ranks, but is counselling
Democrats to do the same.
If his “ accept-thc-situation ” plat
form and' the * new departure ” do
not mean just that, then I desire to_
he enlightened. We all understand
the “ situation ”—there ie but one.—
It has hung over us like a blighting
shadow for more than five years. It
costs a Radical nothing, to “ accept
the situation,” therefore he does so at
email expense; but I protest that it
is a sacrifice of principle which no
Democrat cannot afford to make.
And one other point: In glittering
capitals, at the head of tlie same col
umn in which we find the “ accept-
thc-situation ” creed of the True- Geor
gian appear* to* name of a gallant
gentleman in nomination for Gover
nor in 1872. I am his friend. I
sought to hare him elevated to that
high position, whilst the editor of the
True Georgian was attempting to
drag him down, and befouling his
fair fame with allusions of disloyalty.
I foiled, while the editor of the True
Georgian smd his party, through their
‘Wuurpand quick” tactics, succeeded,
but the me*M reaorted to to secure
tiieir sarmsi was believed to have
been nuusual; and very many good
people think it not altogether certain
that in toa»dfy|oJ«liarp and quick
practice that the man who
its the most rotes will every time be
lanAahtteA.. a
What right the Turn Georgian has
ho ssfitrtntr .the name of the gallant
ordon with such a creed, and place
editor of the True Georgian has, or ia
a convert of the “new departure;” nor
has any friend said it for ljin»! For
one, I shall believe that Gen- Gor
don’s name stands in an unauthorised
attitude in the oolumns of the True
Georgian until otherwise informed;
and for his sake let me hope that it
will prove so, if iu 1872 he hopes to
get the vote of A Dkmockat.
The Roau Commercial am Its
Live limes af the day.
The Southerner <t Commercial of
the 23d inst., under the caption of
“ What we believe,” quotes With warm
approval from Hon. John G. Carlisle
of Kentucky, who is now Democratic
caudidate for Lieutenant Governor of
that State, and sums ap some of his
points as follows:
The Hon. John G. Carlisle, the Dem
ocratic candidate for Lieutenant Gover
nor of Kentucky, dissent* from the new
departure platform adopted by the Ohio
Convention. • ♦ • # •
Mr. Carlisle holilly, honestly and fear
lessly announces liis opposition to tha
sentiment of the reeolutiona promulgated
by that Convention. He seys the ques
tions arising from these Amendments are
the "livest" of all the Uve issue* of the
day; that resolutions of conventions can
not kill the issues, and cast th-»«n hell
among the debris of political blunders,
but that they will live and exercise, ss
they should, a great oontroKng influence
on the political campaigns of the fnture.
Further, that instead of these resolu
tions having the effect to remove from
discussion, the issues pronounced dead,
will only serve to bring them more prom
inently before the people. Whenever the
Democratic party consents to drop these
issue*, they will commit a grievous fault,
and grievously will they atone for it in
the surrender of every right and priv
ilege guaranteed to them a* citizens of a
State.

Amendments, and the means nsed in ob-

Uining their ratification, can never ignore
them by preparing a funeral oration of
reeolutiona. They are more alive to-day
than they were when first made a part of
the Constitution.
And the following pointed and
forciable remark* of Hr. Carlisle are
quoted by the Commercial:
The circumstances under whioh the**
wrongs were perpetrated, instead of jus
tifying and excusing them, greatly ag
gravate them, in my opinion. I hold
that no motive, however patriotic it may
be, actually or professedly, oan sanotify
a result obtained by force and fraud.—
The whole oountry know* that theca
amendments, or two of them at any rate,
were procured by such mean* as would vio
late any contract, however solemn; and
there is not, iu my opinion, a Democrat in
Ohio or elsewhere, who would deliberately
assert to the oontraryt
They (the amendments) are basedAipon
a false theory of our original aywtanr of
government; end if the other provhdont
of the Constitution are to be warped to
suit them, the doctrine tf State rightee in
all its length and breadth will be com
pletely destroyed.
Whereupon the Commercial re
marks :
The object to be attained by the en
forcement of these amendments ia the
destruction of State right*. In tkejr na
ture they are uncongenial to the nature
of onr institutions, andsssuek an at War
with every right secured to the States by
the Constitution. Their engraftnlOnt bn"
the Constitution was a direct, and in
tended to be, a vital blow at State right*.
Mr. Carlisle illustrated this question very
plainly. He lives end aoto Democracy,
pure, while the new departure and all
kindred factions and issues are bastards.
The action of the Ohio convention in
passing these resolutions was an abao-
mocracy for a questionable policy. It
was a servile submission to toe assault
made npon the rights of the people and

Official Insanity.
The Augnsta Chronicle it Sent inst
says: The frightful ravages of in
sanity among Radical office-holders is
one of the most alarming features
presented to the public attention. Wo
had beoome accustomed to too plea of
lunacy as an excuse for mnrder, but
we were hardly prepared to learn that
the increasing hand of government
defaulters had brought it into requi
sition. One McCartney, Superinten
dent and Disbursing offioor of the
Post Office Department, managed to
appropriate some I3U.U00 or 840,000,
and we now learn that the unfortu
nate man. committed this sequestra
tion of the nation’s money in a fit of
delirium which rendered him unable
to discriminate between his own. mi,
riey and that ef others. Singularly
enough, toe predecessor of McCart
ney, whose name was Olinstead, was
unfortunately afflicted in the same
manner a year ago, and in his crazi
ness embezzled about 865,000 of the
public money. It ii highly probable
that Williams, the New York pension
nt, who disappeared with some
IJXK) of the .people’s money the
other day, was fo insane as to be un
accountable for his actions, and the
Federal authorities seemed to take the
same view of all these cases,'for they
have not attempted to. take* advan-
tage of the sureties of these unfortn-
nates. .
Grass’s Prospects.
A Washington letter in the Balti
more Sun says: “ Whatever may be.
appearances on the surface, it Is not
at all likely that General Grant will
be renominated by the Republicans.
The delegation in the National Con
vention from the State of New York
will doubtless exercise a ooutrellng
influence in that body, and it is not
irobable that that delegation wili be
donment of the true principle ill De- for Gefi. Grant. On the contrary,
_ ' " * those whe know best conjecture that
no matter Whether it be the Greeley
and Fenton wing or that of Conklin
and Mnrphy, in either case it will
not ultimately be for Grant It is
much more likely, in the latter event,
to be for Seward or some new man.
On last Tuesday, at Mobile, Ala
bama, Admiral Franklin Buchanan
was the recipient of a most pleasing
testimonial “of the high estimation
in which he is held ami the feeling*
towards him” of the Alabama Depart
ment of toe Life Association of
America. Tlie Admiral, until lately,
filled the important position of man
ager and Secretary of the Department,
but has recently severed hie oonner-
ion with toe Life Aareriation, pre-
uratory to returning to his Maryland

from the Board of Diroetors, consist

standing; ana, in view of these facts,
I furthermore said, “Youiig man,
would yon become a useful, uouora-
hle and happy man, and would you
be mourned when dead, and
LIE lit AH HONORED GRAVE?
If yon would, then put forth your eh
ernes. Do not waste vonr time in
idleuess and vain wishes, nor your
strength upon trifles. Do not throw
away your time and money in liar-
rooms and dram-shops, nor your mon
ey and manhood upon loose women.
“For the drunkard and the glutton
shall come to poverty, and idleness
shall clothe a man with rugs ;” and
the strange woman’s “house inclineth
unto death,” and her paths unto the
dead. None that go uuto her return
again, neither take they hold of the
[»ths of life.
First, strive to establish a character
for voracity, probity, sobriety and en
ergy. Apply yonrself to vour pro
fession, trade or calling. Use every
moment for work, study or rest, and
pleasant, innocent recreation. Get
for yourself a neat, plain, industrious,
economical and lovlno wipe,
and try with all your power to render
her bo’th good and happy. Do nol
neglect her—cherish her us the apple
of your eye. Do not try to lieeome
learned, rich qr great in a day or u
year. Solid learning, wealth and
greatness are plants of slow growth.
I have seen a giant oak—monarch of
the forest—that hud maintained s
steady growth for a century. Thai
mighfv tree was once no longer than
your linger and no larger than a lady’s
bodkin. I have seen the Chattahoo
chee flowing in its majesty, broad and
ileep enough to float the'navies of a
continent; and I havo seen the same
stream issue from the earth, far up
the mountain's side, a tiny rill, that
I could dam up with my foot. Yet,
that tiny rill, never standing still,
grows as it flows,
AND FLOWS AS IT GROWS,
until, swelling into the majestic riv
er, it beoome* a blessing to countless
thousands of sentient beings.
And I said: “Youngman, imitate
that oak. Ever keep growing.—
Strike your roots deep. Hold up your
'head. Be strong in principle, in in
tegrity and fixeduess of purpose, and
trusting in a kind Providence, brave
the blasts of adverse fortune, and the
furious storms of life that often np-
s«t and prostrate men of faint heart*
and weak principles. Young man.
despise not the day of small things.
Imitate that little rill. Keep moving.
Do not stop. Grow as yon move and
move as von grow. Read, think, ob
serve; reflect, work, loos. Every day
add a little to vour stores of knowl
edge. wealth, honor and goodness:
iu time, by slow degrees, you will
iieeome great, and like the mighty
lllmttalioochee, will prove a blessing
to thousands.” So mote it be. More
anon. Franklin.

had warm weather. Planters had a
good time fast week, but these heavy
rains bring back the grass to life again
and their hopeful lal*ir accomplished
but little good. A half crop of cotton
is now iilmut the highest estimate, and
many do not hope for so much.—Al

With the favorable weather of the
last two weeks, crops in this section
liave greatly improved and the faces
of farmers under the additional cir-
'umstances of a cheering advance in
cotton, look about two feet shorter
than they did a short time ago, when
■rope were hud. ami grass worse. But
the hattle with Gen. Green is still
raging, and reinforcements for the
farm are loudly demanded. In this
connection, the arrival of tho first in
stallment of Swedes for Jasper coun
ty. reminds us of how much better
itt' our county might have been, had
we have ordered a Hundred or two. or
twice that mniiv, when we had the
oppurt uni ty.—Mud iso a Appeal.
From the Hainbridge .Irgtts, a cor
respondent writing from Baker coun
ty reports:
"Corn in silk amt tassel, bnt low, with
small stalk ; generally it has a very fine,
deep green color, which ie rather on-
couraging. The increased breadth plant
ed, together with the oat crop, render
the prospect for another season more
oheerfaL If cotton does not get above
tbe present figures, planters may retain
their aenses and sustain themselves 11 ml
the planting interests. The cotton crop
Is poor ; stand very poor; and a great
deal of that which is left is dying from
attack of lioe. The grass, too, ia spread
ing iUfelf whero it has room to spread,
olaiming s large shore of the fertility of
the soil. The oat crop is being gathered;
that has been damaged by the rest, and
in some places it has fallen down from
tbe effects of rain and wind."
One week of drv weather interrup
ted by a delightful shower, has given
new lift' and vigor to farming opera
tions. The grass has been piled liigh
up in the middle during the last few
day*. Cotton is small and no blooms
are rejiorted up to this time. The
20th of June last vear tliev were plen

more grateful shower's Talbot county

The wheat has either been very poor
or good. A splendid farm sown in
wheat only made two bushels jw-r
acre. Higher np in the valley twenty
to thirty bushels have been realized
iu some instances. Notwithstanding
the rust a large quantity of oats will
lie mode. Planters talk about 18 to
20 cent* for their next cotton crop.—
There will lie a poor yield from lx)t-
tom lands this year.— Talbotton Stan

At no time since tho termination
of the war between the States have
the prosiieets of the ftiture appeared
more promising for onr people than
at this time. The feverish excite
ment consequent upon tile overthrow
of our lalior system and the destruc
tion of property values which bred a
rashness of risking everything to re
trieve, have given place to calm and
calculating plans. Many men who
left their plantations for cities to em
bark in commercial ventures have re
turned to their first love. Many
planters who have been overcropping
for the [last year*, depending Hjion
luck for success, have thi* season
wisely laid their plans according to
their’moans. From every portion of
onr State the gratifying information
reaches us that an abundant corn and
provision crop will l* made. The
milt crop is a lionntiftil one, and will
bring » large sum of money into the
State. Colton, it is true, is book-
ward and looks poor, and the area
planted in Georgia fully fifteen per
eeut less than tliat of lost year. But and Pari, there is really little to
it is too early to predict a failure to
any extent of that crop. The prices
ruling now have given planters re-
. Hewed hope and energv, and th^pros-
pect is vijry good for the next Jenson
opening ot 18 to SO cents. The smtd-
ler crop will then bring a larger total' l
tun than the large crop of last Belt, )
eon. Iu addition to the reasons givgn .
above, as to the prospects ahead of »;
is the fact, as we learn from the cot
ton footers ih onr citv, that planters
as a class have not asked for naff the ,
amount of advances this season that
they required last year; they have
managed with less than half they
bought in 1870, and. that half has
icon purchased at ftillv a third lest
tte than paid last year. With An
■ bundanee of home-raised provisions,
Jiniiaratively smulljidvunccs to liqui
date, and the prospect of getting a
air price for their cotton, they have
ause to look forward with hope of
Otter days.—Augusta Conetituliou-

Wo were informed last Saturday,
by a gentleman, who says lie has tlio
names of ten men, who went boldly
aud undisguised last week to tho
house of a widow lady, living in Webs-
t< v county, and demanded of her to
ti ll where that money was, or they
would kill her. It seems that sho
was to have received *6,out), as a leg
acy from relatives, about that time,
but it had not come to hand. So
they failed to make her tell where it,
alter which they blindfolded her, and
s< arched every corner of the house,
but finding nothing but a few old
pipers, Deeds, notes, etc., they put
her in a wagon, and carried her to a
justice of the peace, who it seems was
in league with them, and told her if
she did not give them a deed to her
lnad and all she owned,that tliev would
kill her; which she did. This is the
boldest robbery, we have lately heard,
of; and should meet with speedy pun
ishment. We learn that the old lady
was in only moderate circumstance*;
and with the exception of a grown
daughter living entirely alone, quiet
and harmless. These men, who live
in the neighborhood, heard of the
♦6.000 she was to come in possession
of, and took this means to get it.—
They are all well known, and are as
yet at large. If they are not arrested
and punished, what use is law. Wo
since learn that the old lady is tlie
mother-in-law of Mr. J. Kaufman of
Florence.—Lumpkin Telegraph.
No better evidence is wantod of tho
popularity of tho proposition to
change the place for holding the next
State Fair, than the fact that about
♦6,000 have been snbscrilied by onr
citizens to carry it out within the fast
two days. It is now a foregone con-
elusion that the change will be made,
and onr citizens never did a wiser
thing for themselves, their children
and the city, than to thus lilierally
sustain the movemeut. It is not
solely to prepare the Central Trotting
Park grounds for holding the State
Fair that the present subscriptions of
money are being made. Indeed, tho
Fair is of minor importance, for it ,
will last hilt oue week, and be held
but once a year; but after the vakfc
throng of visitors have departed, the
various improvements to be uiado
up hi the grounds, the buildings, lbiiu-
tai is, beautiful walks, etc., eta, will
remain to our citizens for they enjoy
ment and recreation at all times.—
They will all be tho pixqierty of the
city’and all surplus moneys arising
from the use of the ground's or build
ings by private parties, will he appro
priated to the further improvement
and ornamentation of the Park, and
thus iu a few years it can bo made oue
of the lovelieal spots in the South.—
Nature has already accomplished
ludf tho work, ami it now onlyre-
mains for us to do tho reet. Tho „
grounds are a dead level, skirted on .
one side by the Ocmulgee river, on
another by the Macon and Augusta
Railroad, and on the other by two
majestic and beautiful groves or trees.
Already a beautiful race track, which
will rennirebut little laborer expenate
to put it in splendid order, is on tfflf
grounds, and there is really notfiiiig
to bo done for holding tlie Fair, aside
from the necessary buildings to ba
erected, which we are sure our live,
enterprising and energetio young
Mayor will put up so rapidly, that it
will make some old fogies, heads swim
to witness it This change ofloca-...
lion will double, if not treble, tho aw*r
teuduuce at the Fair, npon wlurtib •
would have been at the laboratory.—."
