establishments are being run to their
utmost capacity, and are behind in
orders. Another large mill will cer
tainly be erected in a year, and two
others are exjiected before a long
period. Our mills are now running
32,000 spindles and several thousand
looms and manufacturing a large
variety of coarseanu line goods. Tne
Celebrated cotton blanket is also made
in the United Stutea by the Eagle
and Phoenix Company in Columbus.
It is said the South has no enter
prise; yet all these establishments
have been erected since the war, and
all with Southern juouey, upon the
ruins of the Yankee vandals under
Wilson in 18G5.”
Suppose such .cities as Atlanta
bavunnah, Macon, Rome and other
smaller towns should do as well as
Columbus, does not tvery sensible
man understand that, the vast amount
of active capital th-us in operation in
our -midst would give an impetus
to the material prosperity of Georgia
nitherto unknown? Atlanta has
double (if not more) the population
of Columbus, and she might manu
facture at least 10,000 bales of cotton
per anuum—giving hundreds of her
destitute people employment and
honorable means of securing a living.
Thus we could iucrease the value of
the .raw material three times on all
varieties of goods as they do in Colum
bus—the profits of each successive
increase remaining in our midst to
build up our general prosperity.
'We have briefly stated the general
results .upon tho common prosperity
of each community so engaging in
the manufacture of cotton. When it
comes to the capitalists the question
assumes huge proportions in the way
of dividends, ranging from 15 to 25
per cent, on the money so invested,
accordingly as such corporations are
well managed.

stan lard of the “woman sh t keis,
and declared herself an ‘Hi xcate oi
woman suffrage and fiercely demands
the ballot for her sex.
When a woman steps forward
ou tage in those strifes of politir.il
contention and scramble from wh c'i
ev'n men sometimes shrinks, she
places herself outside the pale of tha.
sacrea regard which has been accord

the political whirlpool and engul
them in a moral and social turp'tudo
altogether incompatible with woman
parity and native.modesty.
It is hoped, for the sake of J.-maie

and especially do we appeal .o the
true women of Georgia, to pla je the.
seal of their condemnation upon the
agitation o! a subject so fraught with
evil to true womanhood—that,

can only tend to demoralize society

thirteen dollars and fiftv cents.

Death ot Horn. G*o. Bliss.
Springfield, Mass., April 20.—Geo
Bliss, one of the oldest aud best knowD
citizens of Springfield, dud last night iu
uis 80th year. He was several times a
member oi t* e Legislature, being Presi
dent of the Senate in 1835 a’ a Speaker
of the Honse in 1863, a member oi the
Executive Council in 1848 and 1849, ana
a Scott Presidential Elector in 1852. Mr.
Bliss was a lawyer by profession, but de
voted himself largely, especially daring
the last half of his life, to railroad enter
prises. He was one of title originators of
tne Western (now Boston and Albany)
Railroad, of which he was General Agent
trom 1836 to 1542, and subsequently tor
tnree yean President. He was also one
of the ongmaton ol the Hartford and
Springfield road, and whs interested in
many other railroad enterprises. From
1850 to 1852 he was President of the
Michigan tjoutbern road, in 1853 aud
1854 President of the Chicago and Mis
sissippi, ana again >rom 1853 till he re
tired from a-live business in 1860, Presi
dent of the Michigan Southern. He was
also an ictive Director of the Chicago
aud Rock Island Railroad in its early
uistory. He was a warm friend of an
local charities and public enterprises,
having been one of the atrongeat sup
porters of the City Library, and Hamp
den Park w»o laid out under his direc
tion. He was the father of OoL George
Bliss, Uuited States Attorney for the
Southern District ol New York.
The first thing that engaged the Com t’s
attention was Dan Shehan, who rose to a
“point of order.” The day before Dan
had managed to raise several pints of
Robertson connty, and had came into
Court, for which he was fined five dollars
and costs. Dan cared nothing for the
monuy, bnt his honor and standing as a
member of society, Dan’s reputation was
at stake, and he held to the doctrine
tn it—
As often ss we meet;
And It is s luxury, I swear,
'iu near a voice so sweet;
Ai’d yet it ces not please me quite,
Tlie civil way you've got;
For me you’re nometbinH too polite—
Judge, you love me not!
Bikbtly to be great
Is not to stir without great argument.
Rat greatlj to find quarrel in A straw
When honor’s ihe stake.
Dan moved a reconsideration of the
sentence and backed it np with such
strong arguments that the Coart remit
ted the fine.
Mr. G. H. Campbell had been misrep
resented by another man, and Campbell
went to bant him up lor a settlement.
When found be began making a note of
mm to such au extent that the man conld
scarcely stand for fright Campbell took
hold of him to steady him so he cjuld
cuas him square in the eye. The Court
construed tlrs and the swearing into a
breach of be pe .oe and lined Campbell
ten and costs.

I know, Judge, yon never scold
At aught that I msy do;
If I am passionate or cold,
’Tis all the a me to you.
“A charming temper,” say the men,
•‘To smooth a Beco.der’s lot;”
I winh 'twere ruffled now and then
Judge, you love me not!
This pat the Court on its metal, and
went for Jonsen :
I know, Jonsen, you make my name
Tour eulogistic theme,
And siy—it any chance to blame—
Ton hold me in esteem
Such words, for all their kind y scope,
Delight me not a jot;
Just so you would have praised the Pope
Jonsen, youleve me not!
I know, Jonsen—for I have heard
What friendly voices te.l—
Tor. do not nlush to sty the word,
”Tou like me parsing well;”
And thus the fetal sonud I hear
That seats my lonely lot:
There’s noth!eg now to hope or fear—
Jonsen, you lov* me not!

Mr. Stephens’ Sohoo' History s tbe *
work of u broad aud comprehensive
mind, reducing its large knowledge with- a
in the compass of a text-book, but sacri- ;
ficing nor lung essential to clearness, ac-
curacy, and force. The details t ftete
pre well selected; the order of air.mge-
ment and the method of treatment are
admirably suitrd to the end in view.
Throughout- the volume, tht movement
is steady, easy aud vigorouc; aud t. im- j
presses a tnouglufal reader with i feel
ing of completeness as well as concise- J
ness. It is, moreover, not a book oi
opiuions, but of convictions, ami suck
convictions as rest bn fundamental prin- ]
ciples. The leading merit ot the work
is its judgment, aud this goo judgment j
appears in its calm m >derat;on, us fixed
equipoise, an«l itstenaci jus ad> erencsto
fairness an • impartiality. I. is intellec
tually no leas than historically truthful,
and herein lies its remarkable w^rtb.
When I add that this unpretending
volume, the fruit of years oi matured
thought and ripe experience, combines
in a striking d. gree tbe merits oi Mateo-
mauship and scholarship, I leave myself
litt e else to say, excepi to express tho
sincere wish, that this exce'lenf Text
B<» k may be universally adopts > m our
schools. A. A. Lipscomb.

Rev Dr. Hum Uon, Atlanta, W«i.;
Mt Dear ttla—I take pleasure in ex
pressing to you my conviction oi the rare
excellence of the “History of the United
States,” by the Hon. A. H 8-ephens.
No greater service can be rendered to
the educational interests of the South,
and to the future of the States of tne
late Confederacy, than to place in ell
their s -bools a well-written, fair, impar
tial history of the past. Whilst duty
calls for the cn- lvation of broad na
tional feeling, aud • he suppression of the
bitterness engeuere 1 by war, duty calls
with equal clearuess for the affectionate
aud faithtnl transmission of tne r< cord
of tbe fierce straggle to coming genera
tions, and for a careful oberisuing of the
memories of oar heroic dead.
Mr. fttepheLB brougne rare qulitioi-
tious to tne work ot historian. Per
haps the most useful work of ids life ie
the History of the Uuited S ates which
ne nas given to tne public. I hope that
it will soon oe in all our schools and col
leges, and a well read household book in
every family. Trniy, your®,
C. W. Lake.
Dr. A. L. Hamilton, the general agent
o? the took, who has been traveling in
its interest for several weeks, informs ua
tnat this valuable work is received every
where with great cordiality, ana is des
tined to become, he believes, the most
popular of all the school histories now in
nse.
As we have? stated tefore, no efforts
have been made to introduce the worn as
its merits justly demand, and we trust
our educators will look into its claims as
a clear and uusectioual history that can
be read with profit and without condo
nation, by a'l tbe people of this country.
