For the Georgia Citizen, ‘
Medical Society of Georgia.
Mr. Editor: As the press is the great lever for j
the correction of errors, in every department, o! lite,
which are of a public character and affecting a whole
body, permit me to call attention to a few abates which j
characterise the Medical Society of Georgia, and de
triment the entire profession in our State.
la calling attention to these palpable violations of j
the code, we hope to elicit at the coming meeting ol
the Society, a full, frank, and positive settlement of
the questions; for upon their final disposal on the 13th
April, depends the future prosperity and perpetuity of
the body. We hold, that a church or other associa
tion to prosper and secure respect, must observe a
strict regard for its faith and decorum, excluding all
who refuse obedience to its tenets. This, we presume,
is a self evident proposition which nobody will deny.
Well the fa th and decorum of the Medical fraternity
lie in its code of ethics, which is the test of respec
tability in the profession ; this code eschews quackery
in every form, and forbids all traffic in secret nos
trums, Patent Medicines, <s•<%
Well, thMH.if we adopt the code, as our basis of
faith, as the Medical Society of Georgia has done :
can it recognise any man as a member who is in °l Kn
violation of the code, by selling such nosiru ns and
medicines? We answer, in our opinion, no such man
can be a member of the body, and yet, strange to
there are several such in the Society,and one of them
a Professor and another we believe an
such things are to be permitted to a Prolessor, a l big
dog,’ in silence, we say let down -.he gap and whistle
in the small dogs. For our own part we can't see.
how a man can belong to a church or association who
openly eschews the faith, when lie enters the member
ship. We make no quarrel with men, who sell such
medicines and are not in the Society ; they have
right to do as they please, and we have nothing to
say, but we object to some physicians being allowed
to commit a palpable violation with impunity and merely
from the force of position, when others would be ex
cluded for the same offence. W e think one respecta
ble man is as good as another, and should have the
same privileges in Church, State , and Contentions.
There is another evil in the Cjociety and a growing
one ; we mean the apparent favoritism bestowed upon
certain men in it, merely on account of their location
and relationship. The two last orators were from the
same place and conferred upon men the nephew and
brother-in-law of Professors, but who- hud no claim,
from age, experience or talent , to it, above other men
in the State. The important committees were, to a
great extent, all appointed from the same locality, when
there was no real necessity for it. rite next 1 resi
dency it is believed, will be given to a young man not
entitled to it, in any way, but merely because he is
akin to a Professor. We ask, are the relations of
some men, by cliquism and compact, to be promoted,
over older and abler heads, to the exclusion of those
who are their superiors, merely to gratify an inordi
nate spirit of professional monopoly.
There are other points we might advert to, but we
will pass on with the above hints, with the declaration
that we hope the coining session will exhibit less ani
mosity, than the two preceding sessions have done ;
that no man out of the body will be misrepi esented,
that Patent Medicine sellers, in the body, will be
turned out of it or made to abide the code, and that
ail men will be treated alike, and not promoted on
account of their *location and kinship.
If the Society will adopt a just course, it may get
to be what it is not now, a fair representation of
Medical opinion in Georgia. W e say it does not re
flect medical sentiment in our State, and we say it from
the fact, that no body of 140 or 150 men, and many of
them undelegated, can truly reflect the opinions of 1-1
or 15 hundred of their country brothers, nine-tenths
of whom are not in the membership and have had
nothing to do with its formation. Justice and equal
privileges to the country and village practitioners
and to other parts of the profession in our cities may
secure for the Society what its name purports, but
nothing short of this, in our conception will. Let no
man enter it until these regulations are made.

Revolutionary Movements in China.
The latest intelligence which we have seen from
China, is taken from ilong Kong papers of December
27, as follows:
“It is stated that Su, upward of a month ago, (Nov.
18.) routed a band of the insurgents at Seung-tain, in
Hu-nan, and took upward of four hundred prisoners,
among them the leader of the band and his counsel
lors.
“Seh, Su’s successor in the Governor General-ship,
has also been successfully carrying out the plans of
hie predecessor in Kwangtong, having captured ‘se
veral tens of rebels’ near the Mealing Pass; and if the
rest have thereupon dispersed, the service is more im
portant, as- regards trade, thau Su‘ more brilliant
achievements, for the Mealing Pass is the great gate
oftraffic of the province. Os late, there have ccrtain
been fewer complaints of its being interrupted.
“Another less pleasing symptom of the imperial
success, is the great number of recent executions at
Canton, some of the victims being persons of some
consideration. From another source, we have intel
ligence which we suppose has reference to au earlier
date than the events above recorded.
“According to it, bodies of insurgents have ap
proached within four leagues of Chang-sha Fu, the
onpital of Hunan, and established themselves in vari
ous positions calculated to intercept supplies, if the
troops in the city itself cannot relieve themselves.—
Gluing-sha Fu lies on the River Siang, one of the af
fluents of the Yang-taz’-kiang, through the Tung-ting
Like, and on the southern edge of a largo basin ex
tending over Eastern China.
“It is tile residence of the Fu-yuen (Governor) of!
Ilunan, and a city of considerable importance as tin
entrepot of the trade of the river Siang. It was here
that the festival of raising dragon boats on the fifth day
of the fifth moon originated, about 500 years B. C.,
on the drowning of Kiuh Yuen; so that it is one of
the oldest cities in the South of China.
“There was a report in Canton that the insurgents
had environed Chang-gha, laying their plans so well
that the garrison began to lose heart, and from the
skill in strategy displayed believed that so-ne foreigners
were in league with the insurgents. The people,
though in sums alarm about the fate of that city, still
put confidence in Su’s doing something, as a place in
tire cabinet may reward his success.
Rumors of another Expedition for tiie Inva
sion of Cusa. —It is said, though we do not vouch
for its trtuh, that another expedition is being organ
ized in New Orleans, with the design of invading the
island of Cuba, and wresting it from the possession oi
Spain. A Colonel of the late Hungarian army is to
have the command of the expedition, which already,
it Is seith, numbers a force of fitteen hundred men,
from Cincinnati auA elsewhere. The committee is
reported to be in the habit of meeting for the transac
tion of business and furtherance of the project, almost
every svening, at one of the hotels at New Orleans;
but it is surmised that no active measures arc to be ta
ken furffive or six months more.
We lutve not received information as whether the
Lone Star Association has any connection with this
new project for invading the ever-faithful island. It
is said, however, that a commercial house in Boston is
to furnish the steamers necessary for the transporta
tion of'th (our companies. We give these state
ments forr whiut theyusre worth.
“Old Folks From Home.” —Are queer folks,
that’s a fact. Here’s a fair specimen of wo
manish gossip:
“What a bit of a thing that child of Mrs.
Brown’s is to be sure,” remarked Mrs. Furgen
son, “why would you believe it?” continued
she, raising her specs, “it only weighed Jive
pounds when it was born!”
“La, tne. Why, I want to know,” cried Mrs.
Smith, in amazement.
“Why, Mrs. Furgenson,” said Mrs, Turtle
dove, “that’s nothing to tell on. There’s Ra
chel Skinner’s child, that only weighed four
pounds and a half when it was born.”
“Good gracious me, why you don’t say so,”
ejaculated Mrs. Furgenson.
“Sartin,” here remarked Mrs. Hopkins, “and
that ain’t much to tell on either. Why, I’ve
>-r>ften beam my poor old dead and gone inoth
ksay, that when I was born, I only weighed
wee pounds and three ounces with my bib, tuks,
nd all on!”
“Oh, massy sakes” cried out Mrs. Turtledove,

Woman’s Laugh.—A woman has no natur
ral grace more bewitching than a sweet laugh.
It is like the sound of the lutes on the water.
It leaps from the heart in a clear rill; and the
heart that hears it feels bathed in the exhilie
ratiog spring. Have you ever pursued an un
seen fugitive through the trees, led on by her
fairy laugh—now here, now there, now lost,
now found? We have. We are pursuing the
wandering voice to this day. Sometimes it
comes to us in the midst of care, of sorrow, irk
some business, and then we turn away -and list
en, and hear it ringing through the room like
a silver bell, with power to scare away the ill
spirits of the mind. How much we owe to
that sweet laugh! It turns the prose of life in
to poetry; it flings showers of sunshine over
j the darksome wood iij, which we are traveling;
■ touches with light even our sleep, which is •
more than the image of death, but gemmed !
i with dreams that arc the shadows of imnior
j taiitv.
‘* . I
To the Southern Couniry Press.
Every one of our Southern cotemporaries
have doubtless often thought with us in rela
tion to a subject upon which we venture a few
; suggestions. We are all in the habit of tilling
our columns, more or less, with Prospectuses
: and Putt's of “foreign” papers and periodicals,
| especially Northern. It is no secret that we
; are constantly receiving private circulars to the
| effect that these papers will exchange with us
on those terms only. This is humiliating. A
little self-respect and a little concert of action
among the country press would benefit both
ourselves and readers.
i li. As to ourselves. A long Prospectus is of no
1 interest. It lessens the value of a paper in the
two particulars that it crowds out both reading
matter and paying advertisements. It tacitly
i admits to the public, that your columns are of
little use to you or it, and that “foreign” papers
are worth more to your readers than your own,
or anything one can insert in lieu of said dry
Prospectus. If it causes the public to patron
ize the puffed paper, it tends to drive your own
out of circulation. You will be told by some
of your patrons, as we have been, “I must stop
your paper, I take so many; my wife will have
the Book. I must have the lte
view. I take the Youth’s for John,
and the Musical for Kate, besides two
or three Washington and New York papers,
and I can’t afford it.
2. As to our readers. This course wrongs
most of them because a large portion of them
take only our own home papers. The County
presses cannot compete in value and cheap
ness with those large Northern sheets so long
as our own subscribers are thus kept from in
creasing. Ilad we more of the patronage they
give to “foreigners” we should give them in
one paper, as much jus they now get in several—
• cheaper to them—more news, more literature,
agriculture, and the same general miscellany
obtained from abroad.
I)o we not stand in our own light? Have
our cotemporaries ever fancied a picture of a
; shrewd yankee publisher, as he rubs his hands
over a pile of “oily Gammon” Prospectuses and
Circulars, all ready for the South? or jus he
contemplates himself at full length in your col
umns?
It is surprising to see papers which say so
much about “Southern Rights,” give up thus
whole columns to save from $2 to $5.
It is one thing to notice the meritorious lite
rary, scientific, agricultural and religious Month
lies and Weeklies from abroad, and quite an
other thing to play the sycophant. We are not
I of so strait-jacket order as to see all things with
Southern spectacles, but we like to have the i
South act fully up to its interests in all practi
cal enterprises.
By a little concert of action, a little less sub- j
servicney, and a little defensive action, we might
teach the Northern Press—which seeks South
ern patronage so eagerly by our aid—to be less
chary of their “exchange lists.” We could
teach them not to exjtect all the gratuities from
; our side, and to cease their eternal Horseleech
cry of “give ! give !” As things are the South
ern Press is greatly dwarfed by Northern com
petition.—Pickens Rcpubllean.
All Sound.—“l tell you,” said a warm
triend of a newly-elected Senator, to an old,
sober-headed politician, “Your party may sav
what they please, but you cannot deny that
Mr. C . is a sound man.” “That’s jest
what we’re afeard on,” was the reply: “its our
opinion that lie’s all sound.”

Madantc Bostwlck. —The Concert given,
! on Thursday evening, by this charming Vocalist
and her troupe of artistes, was exceedingly
; pleasant to the lovers of sweet sounds. We
heard several of the large and fashionable audi
j enee remark, that it was the best Concert ever
given in Macon. Mrs. B’s Ballad singing is es
pecially good, though itt the Operatic “Cavati
ini” she is little if anything inferior to Madame
Bishop. “Down the Burn, Davy Love” and
the “Watchman’s Cry,” were given with admi
rable effect. Her assistants, too, performed to
the entire satisfaction of the audience. Mr.
Appy, on the Violin, is no mean rival of Ole
{Bull, and Messrs. Siede and Thillow on the
Flute and Piano, cannot easily be excelled.—
And Miss Annie Oliver, the little “Musical Pro
digy,” showed great natural powers, on the
Concertina. In short, the Concert was a de
lightful one. The hours passed unheeded and
without weariness, which is after all, the best
test of the degree of pleasurable emotion en
joyed from the performance. Truly, could it
be said, of the occasion—
“ Bow noislcss falls the footofTitno
That only treads on Flowers.’’
fBB <W
Millinery. Mrs. Damour has just returned j
front New York, with a fino assortment of the latest
and most fashionable styles of Ladies’ Dress Goods,
Bonnets, &c., purchased from tbe latest importations
from Europe received in the former city. Os course,
the Ladies will call upon Mrs. D. examine and pur
chase. /
The same may be also said of Mrs. Carey. Her j
assortment of Millinery is said to be exceedingly
j tJisteful and elegant. See advertisements.
Small Pox.—The Columbus (Ga.) Times warns
the people to be on their guard against the small pox,
and says;
‘lt is all around us, in Macon, in Marion and in
Taylor counties, Georgia, and in Russell county, Ala
bama. We are in danger daily of the infection, by i
the successive stream of travel which pours through
our city. l"et we have heard of the adoption of no
efficient sanitary regulations to protect the community
; against the contagion.’
It is Macon County and not Maeoo City , as might
be inferred from the reading of this paragraph, that
I is infested with the Small Pox.
What a Business.—The “Soda-water” post
| ers have already made their appearance about
town. The best we ever destroyed, was at T. j
, (’. Rice’s establishment, corner Broughton and
j Whitaker.— Sav. Eve. Journal , 31 st March.
Hallo! Bro. Lane, What harm have the Post
ers done you that you should destroy them! !
Democratic Convention.
The Federal Union suggests that the Democracy of
the State meet in Convention, in Milledgeville, on the
2d Wednesday of June next to nominate a candidate
for Governor. The Union is in favor of letting the
animosities and heart-burnings of the past be forgotten
and for the fraternization of Southern Rights and
Union Democrats, on the basis of moderation , concilia
lion and forbearance. On what conditions, Mr. Union?
That we Union Democrats go foot and spell up? Give
us the terms of the amnesty ami conciliation, and we
will know better whether we can accept the invitation.
Ornamental Painting. Messrs. Shinholscr
i & Kinder will, in a few days, turn out as handsome a
| specimen of Ornamental and Fancy Painting, as one
would care to look at. The work is on an Omnibus
of Messrs. Mason & Dibble, which after passing
through the hands of these artists will be a beauty and
i no mistake.
Editorial Convention. —The Journal & Mes- i
senger very happily suggests that those members of
the press who design attending the proposed Editorial
Convention in this city, on the Ist Wednesday of May,
do previously notify gome one connected with the
Macon Press, in season for the latter to make suitable
arrangements for the reception and accommodation of
visitors. Let it so be done, accordingly.
The Gold has Come. —Our “Hard Money”
friend, W. 11. P., whose request for the ‘‘Citizen’’
was deferred, until the cash should be forwarded, lias
! responded like a gentleman, and sent us the gold.—
‘ Go and do likewise,” all ye who wish to enjoy the
perusal of a racy Newspaper, with the luxury of know
ing that it lias been paid for.
Having It all to themselves, it is a little
funny to observe with what complacency the politi
cians are arranging the programme of performance,
for the next opening of the political Theatre, without
seeming to know that there ever were any Scott men
in this latitude, who might fancy to have a ‘finger in
the pie,’ themselves! True, the number of such men
was only treble that of either the ‘Tugaloos’ or the
‘Tcrtium Quids, at the Presidential election, but still, I
they might take a notion that they had quite as many i
rights as their neighbors, and be quite as disposed, ‘
also, to exercise such rights, when the occasion arrived
tjierefor!
Now, we do not pretend to speak ‘by authority’ in
this matter, but it is clear to us that, on the score of
devotion to principle—adherence to party nominations,
zeal in the cause and strength of numbers, the Scott
whigs, of all the whig* , have the best right to the
honors which the whig party may have it in their
power to bestow. They have men of eminent ability
and talent in their ranks, and we protest against the
attempt to overslaugh them by treating them with si
lent contempt. With such men as Judge Trippc,
! Col. Hardeman, Judge Fleming, Gen. Warren, Judge
j Warren, Col. Foster, Maj. Harris, Judge Dawson
and others of equal name and character, in their ranks, ‘
they feel that they are entitled to at least respectful
consideration from their whig brethren, if nothing
more. Indeed, we hesitate not to say, that from mo
tives of policy, availability, &c., the choice of the
whigs of Georgia, for Governor, if they, ns whigs,
make any nomination, should fall on a Scott Whig: !
and no body else. Ibis, at least, is a common-sense
view of the matter, to one who looks, as we do, from
our pinnacle of independence and impartial observa
tion.
More Dhruption. The Union Democrats
seem to have split in twain. A portion of them will
go back to the ranks of the Democracy, while another
portion will rather unite with the Webster whigs in
an effort towards re organization of the Constitutional
Union Party. This latter class of the Union Demo
crats have more fellowship for the whigs than for the
Fire-Eaters, but they dislike to show their leaning, that
way, for fear of being called whigs by their former
democratic allies. This is all, we vcnly believe, that
prevents a perfect juncti on of these two wings in op
position to the Southern Ri_ .its party. They can
uniteas Constitutional Union men,but the Democrat
ic portion of them will tic- ■ r fi.rbt under a banner
which is christened whip -it tli n I Why this,
that the only organiziiioti mi . >g colors, during
I the next campaign in Georgia, w , be composed of
those who faithfully adhend t t e last National
nomination of the Whig pm >, v suffered defeat, |
through the treachery and inh tVci re of their quon- 1
dam leaders! If this party hi. 1 take advantage
of the divisions among the Demo cy —and run out
the old time-honored flag of whiggery, and rally all
hands to its support, they may be nble to make a re
spectable fight, provided tho Tertium Quids will
ground their arms of rebellion and come back to their
old quarters, prepared to let ‘by-gones be by-pones’ ,
and to bury all animosity which tile late contest en- ;
gendered. This is however, rather to be hoped than
expected. Rut unless it is done, the days of whiggery
i are numbered, in this Commonwealth, and Secession
i Democracy is triumphant.

The Temptations to Indulgence.
In our opinion, there is much less danger to the
youth of our land from the retail traffic in the low
places which Parson Brownlow rather coarsely calls !
toggeries , (to the slander of that useful animal the i
Hog,) than from these princely saloons, where all the \
allurements of glitter and refinement are spread out to
entice customers. Our young people are attracted,
without realizing, for a moment, the dangers which
beset their path. They are liable to be allured by so
cial attachments and other causes into those fashions- !
ble Hulls, that so dazzlingly and bewitchingly display !
their fascinations to the public gaze. A day or two
since we read a paragraph in a newspaper describing
the playfulness of a child in its cradle with some ob- ‘
jeet near by. The glee of the babe attracted the mo- !
tiler's attention and she stepped to see what had
caused its exhuberant mirth, w hen, horror of horrors! |
she saw a deadly rattle snake in its coil and about to j
strike the hand of the innocent prattler. The child
was fascinated with the beauty of the reptile and un- j
conscious of its power to harm 1 So it is with the
youth of the age. They havo no natural taste for
the wine cup or the alcoholic potation any more than i
they have for the quid of Tobacco. But they, in j
their simplicity, are like the child, fascinated with the
splendors and beauties of the scene. Rich viands, in ‘■
the shape of free lunch attract attention. They taste j
the stimulating and thirst-creating condiments, and ere
they are aware, they are induced to play with the asp
and delight in the syren allurements of the serpent of j
the still. The habit of sipping the nectar, disguised
as it is, with sweets, and rendered pleasant to the taste,
is thus acquired, by hundreds, who but for the tempta- j
Rows in their path, would never have become lovers of
ardent spirits or victims to its power.
Now, have not the parents of the land, some right
to speak and move, in order to remove these tempta
tions from the path of the rising generation. Have 1
they not a constitutional right, to protect their eliil- j
dren from dangers so great and so appalling ? No \
one can doubt that they have.
But there are other considerations of a social and I
moral character that should not be overlooked in a
consideration of the constitutionality of restricting or
prohibiting the Liquor License. Tlic advocates of
this movement, can, with rnoro propriety wield this
constitutional objection than their opponents. For
, example, here is a w ife who has brought to her hus
band, not only houses and lands, but the priceless
treasures of her heart’s best affections. lie, in an
evil hour, is allured to the liquor house. lie sees,
tastes, and loves the cup. He dissipates his time,
money, health, and destroys his ability to protett her
whom he has sworn to love and cherish. And all
for the benefit of no one, save the vender of the
stimulating beverage. We ask then what eonstitu
| tional, legal or moral right has the latter thus to rob
the w ife of her patrimony— take from her her protec
tor, and despoil her of all those endearing blessings
attendant upon a proper wedded life ?
j Again—every household that has sons is liable to be
made a victim to the all prevailing temptation. No
j parent of sons can have any security that one or more
of them will not be led astray by the blandishments
of this vice and plunged into its ruinous vertex. W hat
constitutional right have a few men to bring about
such a dreadful result —to break the mother’s heart—
bow tbe heads of brothers and sisters with shame —
and finally to remove the prop and stay of declining
and helpless years, in order that the retailers’ coffers
may swell with gain. W T e leave them to answer
these queries to their consciences, and dismiss the sub-

Gov. Cobb’s Position.— The Constitution
alist having thrown a doubt upon the position
1 of Gov. Cobb, in reference to the political move
ments of the late Presidential canvass, W. Hope
I Hull, Esq., of Athens, and lion. 11. R. Jackson,
of Savannah, have both come out in the papers,
endorsing his Excellency, as an opponent of the
: Electoral Ticket put up, after the meeting at
Atlanta, known as the “ Tugaloo Ticket.” Mr. 1
Hull says:
“The writer of this, professes to be as well inform
! ed as any other man, as to the opinions, sentiments, \
i anJ views of Gov. Cobb, and I affirm that which 1
know, when 1 say, that the ticket which was put up 1
after the Atlanta meeting was brought out against
j his wishes and advice , and against his earnest ef
forts to prevent it.
“I know that he wrote urgent letters to Judge Jas.
Jackson, at Caruesville, where (Jen. Wofford was. du- i
j ring Court, pressing upon hint to see Gen. Wofford, i
And endeavor by every argument to induce him to de- i
eline running on that ticket, and to accept the place on j
the regular ticket, which ho was then advised would
bo tendered to him. So far from his ‘sympathy and
secret efforts,’ being for the ‘Tugalo Ticket,’ he disap- !
proved of the movement from first to last, and his
friends knew it.
“It is true that Gov. Cobb was in favor at Atlanta, ;
!of a different course from the one pursued. From ;
| the day when the Union Electoral Ticket was nomi- |
i nated at Milledgeville, he had labored to bring about |
i a compromise of the ticket on terms which would se
cure cordiality and harmony among all the friends of
Pierce and .King.
“The Atlanta meeting was called at his suggestion,
and for the purpose of promoting that object. Before
it assembled it had become obvious that our .proposals
of compromise would not be responded to. Gov.
j Cobb proposed in that case to nominate a ticket eom
; posed of those gentlemen of the other ticktt, who had
I evinced a willingness to arrange the matter, and to fill
i up the other places with the names of Union Demo
i crats, and call on tho whole Democracy of the State
to rebuke, by their votes, the spirit of proscription and
persecution, which had beet* manifested by some of our
Southern Rights brethren. This was his whole
course in the matter. The Atlanta Meeting decided ;
differently, and in their decision Gov. Cobb, acquiesced, j
and gave, as I before said, no encouragement whatever, |
to those who did not.”
I
Judge Jackson testifies to the same effect, as
i follows:
“I am fully cognizant of the fact that from the
date of the Baltimore Convention, Gov. Cobb was most
anxious to unite the supporters of Gen. Pierce upon
I the same electoral ticket. lie wished the vote of the
State to be east, if possible, as a unit, believing that
| the moral effect of such a vote upon Northern senti
ment, would be most happy. Failing that, he still
wished to see a cordial reconciliation between the two
wings of the Democratic party. In accordance with
these views, he urged his friends to attend the At
lanta Convention, (myself among the number,) and
during the entire session of that body, bis mind was
anxiously looking to this great object. Yet further, I
j know the (act that front its adjournment down to the 1
present moment, that object has never ceased to be
! tiear to his heart, and together with the natural •an 1
- honorable feeling of attachment to his life-long friends
referred to by Mr. Hull, will account for whatever in
j his conduct may have subjected him to suspicions like
those which appeared in the Constitutionalist
j
We have no comments to make, at present,
on these developments, save to ask the ques- |
| tions, “What will Mrs. Grundy say” to till this?
What will the Tugaloo Chiefs now elo,since the |
J secret is out that Gov. Cobh was not iu their
I conclave? And what will the Southern Rights ‘
I opponents of Governor Cobb now do, since their
j guns have been spiked? And finally, what will j
the poor deluded and bamboozled Constitution- ,
al Whigs now think of their late copartner-j
ship with Union Democrats which made Cobb ,
Governor, with the prospect that a dissolution I
i of that copartnership will make him the next
jU. S. Senator? Don’t all answer at once!
The Athens Banner on den. Pierce.
The Editor of ilie Alliens Banner waxes indignant
! at the appointment of the DisunioiiUt, ,Jefferson Da- j
vis, to a seat in the Cabinet, after the declaration of
; the inaugural, that the President would sternly resist
any attempt of one poition of the Union to sever the
bonds of love and affection u hieli unite us as a people, j
Says the Banner: •
| Why he has given to men who drew that sword,
and were prepared to draw another of sterner stuff, if
| they had been seconded by the people, a luring em
brace instead of the ‘stern resistance’ promised. In
fixing them a representative in his Cabinet, is a qurs- 1
lion which defies solution upon any principle of con
’ sistency.
Did he intend to give the benefit of his Inaugural
! to the Union and Compromise men of the South, and
| of the most southern appointment in his Cabinet to the
resi&tants or Secessionists? Was this an instance of
that State necessity, to which it is said, all rulers
must bow in peculiar emergencies? It may be so—
but if so, it teaches the fatal lesson, that it is dange
rous to support even the best government under the j
sun, against an organized body of insurgents who can i
; compel that government, even in their defeat, to give
them a representative in its administration, and con
sequently, to yield to them the control of the State
- organizations. In our opinion, there can be no blow
more fatal to that Union which the President so high-
I ly lauds, than to be found in this precedent.
******
The principles of the Inaugural Address, are our
principles, and we intend to maintain them, but not
through the Secession organization. There in no
power on earth that can nuke us glares# f an organi
, zation under the undoubted control of a large tnajori- j
i ty of disuuionists and secessionists —for such will be
1 the fate, sooner or later, of every Union democrat
! who steps his foot inside of their party.
As to democracy finding her true aliode in a Seces
sion or Disunion party, it is out of the question. It is
folly to think so for a moment.’
The ‘Tugaloo’ Colonel has some spunk left in him,
! yet. lie does not mean to be put down by the Fire-
Eaters, if he can help it. Wc are fearful, however,
from the ‘honey fugling’ now going on, to wheedle
back Gov. Cobb, Robt. M. Charlton, .Judge Warner,
; Col. Chastain, Col. Murphy and other leading Union
Democrats, into the line of old punncl democracy
alias the Southern Rights organization, that he will
soon nt have a corporal’s guard left of impractieables. i
The Editor’s only chance, we think, is to re-open the
Union Hotel and assist the recreant whigs to push
Andy Miller, that Union Tugaloo Whig , into the
Gubernatorial chair. But even that chance is slim
enough, when we recollect that some of the ‘Tcrtium
(Quids’ mean to have a candidate or two of their own,
for all the offices in the sift of the people, from Gove
nor down to Bailiff! The prospect is therefore quite
good, in the coming canvass, for a triple, if not a quad
reple race ! Well, the more the merrier, to those
who are mere lookers on at the sport and have not
made many heavy bets on the result, or invested much
capital in the business,
A Strike. The Journeymen Printers of Mont
gomery, Ala. have struck for higher wages, and now ‘
demand sl4 per week or 40 ct*. a thousand ems. — j
Wc think that employers should retaliate, by striking
for higher qualifications and better habits than are j
usually possessed by those who practise the black art ,
in the South. The two things should certainly eor- |
respond with each other. In our humble judgment,
one half of those who call themselves‘Jour Printers’
are a disgrace to the profession, from the simple fact,
that they are uneducated and undisciplined in the first
rudiments of the business. They, generally, take
their start as absconding apprentices, and set up Tor
.Journeymen after being able to set type, after printed
copy, at the rate of two or three thousand per day, j
without knowing any tiling else. They are almost as
ignorant of all those details of making up forms, book j
and job work, press work, &c., as one who has never
been inside a Printing Office, but becoming dissatisfied
under the pains-taking discipline necessary to a correct
knowledge of the art, and the steady and close atten
tion requisite to make master workmen, they vamose
the ranch, and go a tramping in search of employment
as type-setters. Under this common state of things, j
not one in ten is competent, by skill in the profession
or by intellectual attainments, to take charge of a
Printing Establishment, as Foreman.
llow many of those who have been engaged in the
Montgomery ‘ Strike ’ are competent workmen, we, of
course, have no means of knowing, but we venture to
guess that the most clamorous among them are ‘jatk
legs’ who cannot show the evidence of having served
a full apprenticeship to the business, or of having re
ceived a regular and honorable discharge from their
indentures.
One idea, further. The prices demanded by the strikers
of Montgomery are higher than the present low rates
of Printing will justify. The maximum cash price of a
weekly paper is now $2,00 per annum, all over the
; booth, and we notice that ot.e or two of our large |
literary journals are committing the suicidal folly of
, still further reduction in their term*. llow then can
Proprietors increase the wages of workmen, when
: ‘he' r incomes are decreased ? Besides, the prices now
: paid are 20 per cent, higher in the South than at the
j North, where the qualifications of printers are at a
much higher standard.
Asa remedy for all iriegulsrities, we know of no j
j better plan than for employers to demand the highest
ability and steadiness in their workmen and to dis
; card all others. But so long as inferior and ineomne
tent Journeymen area ‘necessary evil,’ so long should
j the wages be at the minimum rate. Like the Indian’s
j sermon—it should be ‘poor pay—poor preach’ and
vice-versa.

‘ self-evident proposition. Therefore we say to the gen
tlemen of the Beau Monde , do not negleet to call on
S. B. Palmer over the way from this office, and look
at his ample supply of the very article that is necessa- i
ry to complete the tout ensemble of gentility. If any
j doubt, let them notice, on next Sunday, how we ‘'tip

that office upon the Editor. We accept, on condition
that he does not require us to appear, with so fine a

Nevertheless, we answered to the call and wore r
honors with U-. coining dignity, until the time
come, in the course of human events, when anoil,-
should arise and dispute our exclusive right to the ap.
pollution. W ell, that time has come, and ns the n;.
ly man to whom the Jack-knife was given to krn
until he could fiud an uglier, said to F. P. Biair, “ken
take the knife, it is yours by superior homeliness
so now do we say to our friend, tlie “Corner Stunt' 1
man, of Columbus, “ Here, General, do thou tsU
our cognomen, ishmaelite, and wear it, as a fruntlrt
upon thy head, till one be found yt more Lhmacli:|
iu his thoughts and actions.”
Does any one ask us, why we tlins doffihe title*
and assign it to onr friend, we answer thu*: The Kdi- I
tor of the Corner Stone, in starting his paper, avowd. I
ly for the dissolution of the Union, has raised his had |
against nearly every other man in the community.— I
He is an Ishmaeliie in that he opposes ati Eiiturni I
Convention which a majority of his brethren of tin I
Press favor. He is, furthermore, an islimtulite ia ka
opposition to the Temperance Reform, to fat womm
exhibitions, etcetera. In fact, he may be found o|
the contrary side of nearly every question which cmnn
up for discussion! Are we n| right, therefore, gem
tie reader, in disclaiming now, and henc* forth, all fur
ther claim to a title, the hone>r of w hich belongs nion
especially to another? Surely, no one w ould wish is
to “shine in borrowed plumage,” or fail to “reader ta
Csesar the things that are Caesar**, ’ or, to the hd j
himself, what is the just due of Ills majesty, ,4 f * I
may be allow ed the expression,” as the Draco* ut / ', j

In ~s. —Our 3d Street neighbor derbM |
that ‘'there is no political party in Georgia, if a wdl I

last issue, that he he knows “that a large portion if I
the W lug party have never ceased to repent the firs t
fi wn lotion of the Union Party."’ And, until news- I
I sues arise, there are no elements to give strength I* I
the resuscitated corpse of a Union Party—and tint I
he is in nuhilius, or in the clouds, and expects to re I
main there, until organization upon well defined prin- I
i cipK-s is effected by conservative men of Georga, I
” big and Democratic, wi;h whom lie says, lie slui; 1
always act, &c.
Our coternnorary need not have told us that he wm
in a fug. for the fact was self-evident from the wliufc I
•enor of his non-committal article. He is not a Whig, I
I tor there is irj such party. He is not a Tugaloo Unit* I
man, for he speaks contemptuously of Gov. Cobb,— 3
He is not a Constitutional Union man, for that party I
! is a corpse whith can not be resuscitated. And of I
course he is not a Fire-eater, or Disunionist. \\ liJl I

W e are glad to hear this, for it is the first iitdif*- I

last summer, when they wandered off into the qusg* I

the first dawnings of a sound consenalire vision.
The Biff Captain. — We see by the Girard j
j Alabamian, that the Hun. James Abercrombie is a?*i®
in the field, as a Candidate for Congress from his dru
. triet. The Alabamian says, that the Captain “stank
upon the same ground he so boldly occupied during
the late canvass."’ We arc sorry to hear it, for it
strikes us that the lion. Gentleman then stood in a P°*
1 sition antagonistic to iiis friends and party. Ofcoun*.
; then, lie cannot expect the support of those incorraptc
i blc Sccit Whigs, that abound in that laitude, and he I*
almost sure to be beaten, if his opponent is at all clever,
in point of character and intellect.
Advcrtisia*.
The Boston Bee says, “If either Washington. Tr**
mom or Hanovet sts., are examined closely in their
1 history for five years past, it will be found that the**
who have advertised most judiciously, have done
the best business beyond all chances for comparison--”
On eve r y poiut the principle is a fixed one. It ad
mit* of no doubt. It is based on clear reason and vi
sible facts, and is not to be controverted. Advertising
| consists in plainly telling everybody wliat you I)*'*
got, where it is, what it is worth, and all other neces
sary particu’ars. This is fold at ihe fireside, the of
fice, the bench. People go to such places as tiatural
. |y, almost, as they breathe. They know where logo,
and though a hundred places must be passed in which,
possiblv, the very article wanted, is to be had, yet it i
the advertiser who will get the dollar, the profit, tbs
reputation.”
There is no doubt a great deal of truth in these
remarks of the “Bee,’’ about the benefit of advertising
“judiciously,” but “there lies the rub.’’ To do this—
that is, to advertise “judiciously’’ and profitably, great
jwiiiis must he taken to select a proper medium. Jor
example, for a Dry Good Merchant, or Milliner, or
Jeweller, to advertise in a newspaper which is filled
