Tiie Tenacity of Truth.—When a na tion ns clear-headed as the Americans once become convinced, from long experience and observations, that an article possesses supe rior excellence as a medicine, not all the pre posterous clamor of all the worthless nostrum venders in the universe can shake their be lief in its efficiency. Truth ia a very tena cious thing, as these worthies arc beginning to discover. Plantation Bitters has too firm a hold upon the popular esteem to be in the slightest degree effected by the cold water diatribes which the advertisers of fermented slop?, ‘'without a particle of alcohol,” are so fond of launching against all alcoholic prep arations The public knows very well tliat this i*ccrlf?3 renovant and tonic does contain spirits, but it also knows that they arc of the purest and most wholesome description, viz.: lino old St. Croix, the most active and bene ficial ditluscr of its remedial and invigorating properties throughout the system which could possibly be adopted. apr30-dcodlw&wlt. Accident.—On Saturday evening, Mr. A. West, of the firm of West Si Edwards, met with a serious arddent while cn route to Decatur. When opposite Msrbnt's Store, a train camo down the rail road, and the engineer blew his whistle keenly. This caused Mr. W.’s horse to stirt, (Mr. W. being out on the ground) knock Mr. W. down, and jump over the steep embankment on to the track beneath The hone broke his legs, and was otherwise injured, aud thu buggy broken np. The horse was valued at $2 23, and the damage to the buggy altout $75. This acci dent might luve lrarn prevented, if the engineer had not (as is thought) blown his whistle unnecessarily Can not some measure bo devised to check ao much whistling? Picnic and Picnic Grounds.—The Picnic •son lias commenced. Some half dozen or more Picnics are set down for Stone Mountain thi* week. Tills great wonder, surrounded as it 1 ♦ with grand i-ry, pure nir and water, otters peculiar attractions is it or# ar.d parties. Nature has scattered her gifts on thi* section with a liberal hand. Mr. Whit;*, the urbane proprietor of tho King nonsc, however, has determined to add new attrac- i. At the base of the mountain, and close to a flue spring, he has fitted np a platform for dancing parties, with a refreshment saloon, where everything good (except liquors) will be kept. Picnic parties will find nothing wanting to conduce to their com fort. Mr. Whit" has spared no pains in fitting vp this establishment. Cot.oiiKD Odd Fellows.—St. James ami Star of the South Lodges of colon d Odd Fellows bad parade, precession and picnic yesterday. St. Jainc* Lodge was organized October 17, 1870, and .Star of the South Lodge November 14, 1870. They number together, wc or* informed, abont 275 member*. About one-half were in procession yester day. After marching through the streets, the pro cession proceeded to Grant’s spring, (near the resi dence of CoL L. P.

The Odd Fellows wore handsome regalia, aud behaved admirably. Stone Mountain Agricultural Club. The monthly meeting of the above dab on the 11th of May promise* to ba nnusually interesting. Col. B. Whitman delivers au address on gardening, and Hon. A. J. Veal on the culture of cotton. An exhibition of garden vegetables, strawberries, cut flowers, wild flowers, batter, bread and cake will take place. It i* said that the ladies will b? ont in full force with both cut and wild flowers. Rev. John Jones.—Rev. John Jones preached on Sunday to two large congregations at Stone Mountain. We aro pleaded to learn that he is warmly greeted by all denominations, and they arc desiroc* for him to make a regular appointment to preach every month. En passant, we would state that union prayer meetftjg—composed of member* of all dcLominations—will beheld in the Bap:i«t Church next Sunday morning at 11 o’dock. Fulton Superior Court.—The fourth ,-ck of the April t.-rm of Fa’.ton Superior Court commenced yesterday. The following is the Grand Jury for the week: S. It. Wight. Foreman; W. M. McMiikn, G. W.

Western and Atlantic Railroad Company. Henry is a colored train hand, and bad an arm brok.-n while coupling the cars at the •bop. He sued the read for $5,000 damages. The de fendant plead what i* called the ”death warrant contract in which the plaintiff agreed to take all the risk connected with, or incident to. the position, and case would bold the company liable for any damage by accident or collision caused .by the negli gence, carelessness or misconduct of himself or other employees. Messrs. Gartrcll & Stephens and A. B. Culberson, counsel for plaintiff, demurred to this pica. Judge Hopkins overruled the demurrer. Pope acd Brown, for defendant. The case will probably go np to the Supreme Court. ... The Gate City Guards.—The election for commissioned acd non-commissioned officers of the above named company last night resulted as fol lows: Captain. G. T. Anderson; First Lieutmob^ J.

The company meet again on next Monday night. Caution.—Parties trimming evcrffreecus ahoa’d no: throw the branches cut off into the streets. We learn that S B. Love, Esq.. Clerk of Council, lost a fine cow, a few days since, from eating evergreen branches. . Wheat.—"We acknowledge the'receipt of stalk of bearded wheat, four and one-half feet high, from Mr. K Stegall, of Cartersville. It is very floe Mark W.

Editorial Notices are ao common that it is almost impossible for an editor to express his honest opinion of tbe merits of any arti cle without bring suspected of interested mo tives. This fact, however, shall not deter us from saying what we think of a new addi tion to the Materia Medica to which onr at tention has been recently directed. We re fer to Dr. J. Walker’s California Vinegar Bitters, a remedy which is making its way Into more families just now than all the oth er advertised medicines put together. There seems to be no question about the potency of its tonic and alterative properties, while it possesses the great negative recommendation of containing neither alcohol nor mineral poison. That is a specific for Indigestion, Billiotuness, Constipation, and many com plaints of nervous origin, we have reason to know; and we are assured on good authority that aa a general invigorant, regulating and purifying medicine, it has no equal. It is stated that its ingredients, (obtained from the wilds of California,) arc new to the med ical world; and its extraordinary effects cer tainly warrant the conclusion that it is a compound -of agents hitherto unknown. If popularity is any criterion, there can be no doubt of the efficiency of the Vinegar Bitten, for tbe sale of the article is immense and continually increasing. aprl5-d&wlm. Infection ij stub Air.—At this season the vegetable world takes a new lease of life; but to the sensitive and delicate members of the human family ij is a time of danger and often of great suffering. The moisture which rises from the earth and hongs sus pended over it in the form of morning and evening mists and fogs, holds in solution, so to speak, the mephitic elements which pro duce fever and ague, remittent fevers, rheu matism, and many pvinful nervous distui- bances, and which aggravate dyspepsia, bil iousness and all minor affections of the stom ach and the bowels. This, therefore, is a critical period of the year, a season when the renovating, refreshing and purifying op eration of the mightiest of all vegetable ton ics and alteratives, llostettei’s Stomach Bit ters, is salvation to the weak, and the best security for the continuance of the health and vigor of the strong. Now is the time not only to protect the system against the common ailments of the season, but to pre vent the disorders incident to a warmer tem- wrature. Let not the exhausting heats of ;he summer months find you unprepared to meet them. A course of HostetteFs Bitters, commenced now, will put all the physical en ergies in fighting trim, double tbe capacity of the internal organs to repel the causes of dis ease, refresh the brain and clear it of all hyp ochondriacal cobwebs, and place the whole physique in an attitude of defence, with ev ery available point fortified aud guarded and as nearly invulnerable to unwholesome in fluences as it is possible for the human struc ture to be. apr30-deodlw&wlL Bronchitis.—This is an irritation or in flammation of the bronchial tubes, which carry the air we breathe into the lungs. It arises from a cold settled in the throat, from Catarrh extending to these parts, from scrof ulous affections, and from severe use of tbe voice. The irritation from this latter cause commences in the larynx and glottin, which are the organs of tbo voice, and extending downwards, produces hoarseness, coughing and spitting mucous matter, sometimes mixed with blood. It is chiefly dangorous from its tendency to spread into the lungs, aud terminate in consumption. It is in the cure of severe and obstinate cases of this disease that Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Die covery has achieved unparalleled success, and won the loudest praise from all who have used it It is sold by all respectable drug gists. opr30-deod&wlt For corona and throat disorders, use Brown’s Bronchial Troches, having proved their efficiency by a test of many years. apr30-dlw tues thur sat The Illustration of tbe Democracy. In the history of this Government, says the Mobile Register, the policy and the prin ciples of the Democratic party have never been more highly complimented, or received more full and triumphant illustration than theyhave.by the events ofjthejlast ninety days. What do wc see? A revolt by its best and wisest members against a victorious and pow erful party that lias held control of the Gov ernment for upwards of ten years. A revolt, for what causes? Not causes personal to General Grant; but because the creed of that party has permitted and opened the way for measures and abuses which the revoltcrs tell the world are dangerous to the liberties of the people. Abandoning the creed and the practi ces and the constitutional interpretations of their own party, in the zenith of its power, these revolters arc forced to appeal to a plat form of their own, and rally the people to it as a ground of safety. What is that plat form ? Eveiy foot and inch of its planks, so far as it is erected, is made ont of Democratic stuff. Read thgir resolutions, listen to the speeches of their leaders. W r hat do you find Why, the declaration of ideas and principles, aod the enforcement of doctrines that, to Democrats, have been as “ familiar as house hold words” for more than a half century. In short, in flying from the fatal results of Radical policy in the administration of the government, and taught by experience that Radicalism practically administered, leads t> centralism—which Mr. Trumbull now says is despotism—these revolters have been forced to fly to the shcring arms of the Democratic faith, and to take up and swell the long and loud ciy for the Constitution of the United States, which has resounded from Democratic lips from the foundation of the Government At last, then, justice i3 done to the wisdom and saving power of the doc trines of the Democtatic party. Strange, indeed, that this coming from the life long antagonists of the Democracy, while some of the sons of the Democracy, Ted of well-doing, are falling away from their faith, and yielding it in new de partures and passive imbecility to the de mands of expediency. We now predict that if the Cincinnati and the Democratic con ventions nominate and elect the same ticket, the new-comers out of the Radical camp will furnish the soundest and truest blood to the Democratic party in the future. And to prove our claim to the honor done to the Dem ocratic faith by the revolters against Grant and despotism, we could quote the latest ut terances of three of their most distinguished leaders—Senator Schurz, Judge Trumbull and Governor Gratz Brown. They enunciate doctrines that Troup, of Georgia, and Cal houn, of South Carolina, if they were in the flesh, would indorse. For holding to such doctrines as these the Democracy have been hooted at as fools and knaves, old fogies and traitors. But now when danger threatens the citadel of Ameri can freedom, when the wolf is at the door, the Democratic vindication comes, in the rush of the frightened people to the high and and firm ground of Democratic interpreta tion of American institutions. Is it not a noble compliment? Why, these men who come at the eleventh hour to render it, if . usticc were done, should fall upon their cnees and beg pardon of the Democracy for the wrongful abuse they have poured upon them. But nothing of tho sort is asked. Help us even now to save our institu tions, and stay this mail rash to central des potism, and the gratitude of the unborn will >e your reward. But for the Democracy wc have a right to claim honor for the heroism with which it has stood to the truth and planted itself on the rock cf the Constitution, waiting and watching and praying for the day when reason would assert its power over passion, and the people would rally to save their country. Of the Democracy, as of the Irishman, it may be said: •‘An Irishman carries hlsheirt la hi* ban3, And It flows like the water* that circle hi* land; And the nations depend, in their ni^lit of alarm. On on Irishman’s faith and an Irishman’s arm.” Col. Lnlher J« Glenn. The nomination of this staunch old Atlanta Democrat as its candidate for the vacant Fulton scat in the Legislature was a deserved tribute to him and a good act for tho party. Ilis election is a foregone conclusion, and he will do honor to the Legislature and to his constituency. The LaGrangc Reporter thus speaks of him, which will show the high estimate in which he is held abroad. Colonel Luther J. Glenn, one of Atlanta’s oldest citizens, is being urged with great in dustry and perseverance by bis friends. One of the old guards in tho Democratic ranks, who never quailed in the military service of his country in the late war, and who has not swerved from his duty as a patriot in these later times, while others have cringed before the power of the bayonet, or the threatenings of military satraps or the dictation of Fed eral authority, he deserves the confidence of his party and his friends. His nomination would be a fit testimonial to long service and the faithful performance of duty os a faithful Democrat and a good citizen. American Farmer. The May number of this excellent month ly is on our tabic, and as usual is well filled with matter of interest to the agriculturalist. Its tabic of contents is solid and substantial, and comprehends in all the branches of rural life.

The General Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church convenes in Brooklyn on Wednesday. Four hundred and eighty-four delegates and eight new Bishops are to be elected. Special dispatches represent the prospects of Charles Francis Adams as increasing. The Louisiana, Texas and Alabama delega tions are reported to be unanimous for hint. The general trade of the city has under gone but little change since this day week. Cotton has been dull with a slight decline in irices. Sales for the week reached 110,000 rales, of which 103,500 were for future de livery, and 0,500 on the spot and to arrive. Of the spot cotton exporters took abont 1,175 bales; spinners 4,350, and speculators 350. Tbe naval stores trade bas been light. Excitement in turpentine was noticed last Saturday evening, and the advance was quelled and quashed by Monday night. Dealers from other cities coming in and attempting to lead New York with the stock of the country painters in the vicinity who hold a barrel or two, learned that one manu facturer was holding the market, and then become eager seekers. Under such circum stances, the bottom of the marjtct fell out, and prices Tuesday morning were five cents off. Since then turpentine has been quiet, with sales making only into consumptive channels, at GO cents per gallon. Rosins are firm. The stock in yards has been reduced to 15,000 barrels. Tar mid pitch are unchanged, and prices are somewhat nominal.

Mr. Fish says General Schenck in formed me that it is understood in the United States that the British government is hound under treaty, to file the counter case; and that their doing so it does not prejudice the position they have taken nor affects the United States, but that the rights of both parties will be the same after filing as betas e Gen.

The most practical method of organiz ing and sustaining Sunday Schools in country churches. 2. Qualifications of superintendents and teachers. The following names are reported, who reached here tins afternnoon: Dr. Shaver, Dr. Devotie, W. A. Ftugerson, A- Ah Mar shall, W. H. Cooper, Thos. Muse.A. J. Beck, G. A. Nunnally, J. J. Toon, A. Ii. Calaway, C. M. Irwin, J. A. Prior. 2. Best method of organizing and sustain ing Sunday Schools in country places. This theme was introduced by the Presi dent with a beautiful incident of a little girl, of Selma, Ala., twelve years, who was the means of organizing a good and profitable Sunday School. The Sunday School choir then sang: “OI the happy time ia coming.” The above subject was then opened by reso lution offered by Brother Haygood. Speak ers were limited to ten minutes. Brother Haygood has organized 89 Sunday Schools since the war, and thinks lie has the right to make the first speech. SUGGESTIONS. 1. Have a Board of Sunday Schools in Atlanta who can raise enough money to put a good missionary in the field, who shall travel ail over tho country and plant Sunday Schools. 3. If he don’t plant at least one school a week, he “is no account,” and you ought to dismiss him and get a better man. 3. This missionary is to be a good preacher —one who can and will preach to the chil dren. Alost preachers arc afraid to preach to children, as an idea prevails that he who preaches well to children can't do much else. Brother G, A. Nunnally Is from the rural districts, and gives his experience. He finds do difficulty in getting the children out—the trouble is with the parents, who won’t come ont. This can only be obviated by returning to the Apostolical plan of having weekly meetings in our churches. Tito monthly plan will continue aa it has done to bresk down tho cflorts of tho Sunday School workers. Dr, Boyco was forced to speak, because some brethren here believed that he belonged to the heavy artillery, and could not make a Sunday School speech. He accepted Brother Nunnaily'a plan, and came forward to tell us that to carry out the weekly system we must rally to Greenville Seminary, and help to edu cate a large number of preachers, so that each church can have its own pastor. Suggests that a stove is a good thing to maintain file school after organized; also thinks they ought to teach the children music, as singing will bring out the children when nothing else will. Thinks rewards offered for punctuality and recruits will act weU. Dr. Cooper thinks the difficulty of weekly preachmg insuperable, and the one of music almost so too. Notone ia ono hundred church members know how to sing or to teach music. Week ly meetings by out churches ore very impor tant, but mat can be had by the members, even if no preacher is there. By thus meet ing to talk, sing, pray, the gifts now smoth ered and hid away in private members would be developed. If you can find ono man whose heart bqrns for Jesus and for souls, there you can organize and maintain a school; but if you have not that ono man, you can make no substitute for this. Judge Wellborn thinks the first step in this work is to convince oneself that coun try children arc S3 much entitled to the bene fits of Sunday schools as those in the city. Country children are despaired of by many Christians. The work is evironed by difficul ties, but is not impracticable. Pastors gen erally neglect to urge this work cn parents ns they should. We preqeh to fite parents— forget to preach to the children, and yet the claims of the latter arc greater on us than those of the former. They have longer to live and more dangers to meet. Urges coun try pastors to preach to cltildren more too. In the Sunday School the sisters can preach, often more forcibly than do tho ministers from the pulpits. Bro. W. H. Davis preaches to a church one hundred years old, perhaps the oldest one in Georgia. He -expects to bold a jubilee in the summer; invites many brethren from here to attend, lie labors under this difficulty— the congregation is scattered off for ten miles. Alany of these people have neither hnrsesnor gics, Wishes to know how this horse -iculty is to be overcome; Bro. Boyce suggests that horses and bog ies aro not Apostolical, and thinks some of :e boys and girls can walk. Brother Campbell thinks the key-note is struck when you speak of the soul culture of the children; thinks parents often neglect home culture instruction, and transfer their responsibilities to superintendents and teach ers. Exhorted motherstobe faithful to thdr chijdrcn; no one can mould ao well the Chil dren’s minds os mothers. * Time expired. Hour spent most interest ingly. Choir sang, “■Whol he the next to follow Jetna t' QUALIFICATIONS OF SUFEBIBTEEDEKTS AND TEACHERS. 2. Brother Haygood suggests that the speakers in this subject make better and shorter speeches. Brother Foller has learned of late years to appreciate the family of agents very highly —not insurance agents, however, they ate at best donbtfnl blessings and sure troubles; but religious agents are a most worthy, noble pjlUM. Now he wants a man for Superintendent, who has a warm enthusiastic nature, can draw others to himself. He must have some talent for organizing and withall of indomit able perseverance. Lyman Beedhar’s success is owing to his determination to persevere anyhow. Such men will always succeed, and sooner or later will build up the Sunday School. Bro. Atkinson thinks, in addition to the qualifications mentioned by Bro. F., a Super intendent must be a man of common sense and deep toned piety. But where are they to befound? At least one can be found in every Church. Brother Lofton mentions this other quali fication—aptness to teach. Without this other gifts are unavailing. Again, the teachers most be qualified to do their work. With poor teachers and Super intendent the uniform lessons are the poorest methods that he ever saw; bat with good Superintendents and teachers it is the best method in the world in his judgment. Two grand objects in Sunday Schools are, to te«ch the child to see its own heart in the light of divine truth, and to lead them by this divine light to* Jesus. Dr. Wellborne has studied for years the qualifications of teachers, yet can’t tell you in what the teerd of the true teacher’s power lies | he must, how ever, have confidence in himself, then secure the conficenceof the pupils under him; most he folly qualified in mind. Children are close observers, and will instantly notice any inef ficiency on the part of teachers. As to Superintendents, they must hive the inherent faculty of commanding those under their control. Brother Homady thinks beauty an indir- pensable faculty in a Superintendent He, if he is not good looking, most get so just as soon as he can. He must love children and show it in his face.

After the debate Trumbull said the object of this new rale was plainly disclosed: It was to give the majority of the Senate the power to put any legislation whatever in the appropriation bill tinder the of tho minute's rule, and he wanted the ate to know it The order was finally modified to prohibit, as an amendment to the appropriation bill, any mattcrfnot gennain, when the resolution passed.

MRS. E. LOU. CLOUD, eldest daszlitcr ot Ur. and Mrs. B. F. Veal, of Stono Mountain, Georgia, \m born February 7th, 1850, end died February S7th, 1374; »gcd years and 20 days. Ucr childhood and yonth was spent in her father’s family, in which household she was tho light, tho jewel, the cqtnfect- tag angel Her mother has for many year* been an invalid, and on “Louisa” deTolved the early guldlnp, training and educating of her younger brother and sister; and well did she perform the task, acqnlrirg influence over them for good that will still sm- rive even now that *he 1* consigned to tho grave. During my first years pastorate with the Stoss Mountain church (IKS) Our Heavenly Father grad oualy revived our hearts, aad add£d fifteen young converts to the church. Mrs. O. waa of that number. I remember well her relation of God’a work of grace hbr heart-dear, condae, satisfactory to all. Her simple faith in Jesns was most lovdy. On the fourth Sabbath in August, 1868,1 led her, and others—among them two of the lamented Elder McDonald’s chil dren—down into th* still waters of baptism, and from that day until her decease, the ever adorned her profession by the practloe or every good word acd work within hor power. Like David, she greatly delighted in the Courts of the Lord’s llouse, and waa one of ^ny most constant, attentive, appreciative hearers. In the Sunday School she was a nobio worker, universally bdoved. I speak from experi ence when I say few persons have performed for us, others, so faithfully the kind offices of the sick room. For many wceks;my dear wife was the subject * a very deep affliction. During this time Mrs. C. left her home, and performed the part of nurse and physician to my wife, matron to my family, [and mother to my .well nigh orphaned children; and under God, we are Indebted this day to her kindness and devotion for the life of our llttlo.eon. In obits** riea it is common to say many good things of onr departed friends—in this instance I can select only * few of the works worthy of mention. On the 14th December, 180, she was led to the bridal altar by Mr, J. E. Cloud, aad until the day of her death their life was one brixht, cloudless day of joy and peace. Their union waa blessed of God by the gift of a dear little son, who now Is left to weep with the disconsolate father above the mother’s grave. For this son, whom sho loved ardently, she doelred to live, but even could calmly yield him to the care of “Israels Gentle Shepherd,” and die in peace. Her last sickness was long protracted, run ning into months, and truly the most painful that I ever witnessed; yet she did not murmur nor repine; was always ready to talk of religion, and unite with her pastor in prayer. At my last Interview with her said: “My dear sister. It seems likely that the ettorts of friends and physicians in your behalf will fail.-If It is your Heavenly Father's will «*** yon called to die soon, hare you a good hope. In Jesus?” “Yes,” she replied, “if# is my off; nothing else left now; lam not afraid to die; my Savior is nearer to me now than ever before;” and in this «lm confidence sho “ fell aMeep In Jesus.” Thus passed away one of earth’s loveliest, dearest, purest daugh ters, in full tide of youth, with many bright and joyous prospects before her. Thy will, O Lord, be done, we now would not bring her back. Her hus band, ere her sicknes^bad began to rear for them * beautiful mansion on a beautiful deration, looking out on the bold Granito Mountain. The m now complete, but she who was to be the light and joy of that household, baa gone. That bouse was “made with hands.” She now roams through spacious chambers, lofty gallariss and peerless domes not made with bands, fternal oa High.” That House looks out on -the Grand Itoik of Georgia. She now is planted and bullded oa the rock of age* that shall never crumble nor decay. Thatb yet be tbe abode of sorrow and tears, end death, but she U now in “Jerusalem tbe golden,” where “God hath wiped all tears from their eyes.” Aa Ia plate the glorious change, I can aay of a truth with the Patriarch of old, “I would not liveaiway.” Othat husband and parent?, and brother and sisters, and pastor and friends may, like her, Uve for God, and die triumphantly. She has gone in God’a own good time. The shock fully ripe, the apple mellowed, the days work done. He calls her home. “Well done faithful servant, enter thou into tLo joys of thy Lord.” “ Go to the grave In all thy glorious prime, In fall activity of zeal aad power; A Christian cannot die before his time. The Lord’s appointment is the servant’s boor. “Go to the grave, at noon from labor free. Rest on thy sheaves, thy harvest task la done; Come from the heat of battle, and in peaco So’dler go home; with thee the fight Is won. “Go to the grave, for there tbe Savior lay In deaths embrace e’re He rose on high; And eU the ransomed by that narrow way Pass to eternal life beyond the sky. “Go to the grave? No, take thy seat above. Be thy pure spirit present with the Lord; When thou for fai»h and hope hast perfect love, A*d open vision in the written word.” WX. HENRY STRICKLAND.
