TO Ol’lt COUNTRY FRIENDS.*
As much interest Is felt throughout the country In
regard to the prospects of the cotton and other crops
we will b£ grateful to our planting friends and others
n the interior lor information on that subject. Those
who have opportunities for obtaining valuable infor
mation in regard to the growing crops, the working
of the froe-Ubor system, and kindred matters, of gen
eral interest, will confer a favor by communicating
the same to us.
Tile Mexican Empire Defunct.
The telegraph has informed us that several
important personages attached to the late
Government of the Prince Maximilian, had
arrived at New York from Vera Cruz. Among
them were the British Minister, Mr. Scarlett,
and his staff, on their way back to England.
His leaving and closing the Legation signal
izes the end of -the ‘‘Empire.” But there
are other significant signs, says the Times,
to the same effect. A number of Austrians
—some of whom were attached tp the “Em
peror’s ” household, some officers in the “Im
perial” guard, others civil engineers—also,
arrived in the city on their way hack to Eu
rope, and they bring the information that at
Havana quarters have been ordered for the
reception of the retiring “Eihperor.”
With these dispatches it may surely be
said that the “Empire ” is at last gone to the
things thut are past and known only in the
pages of history.
Mr. Scarlett will, doubtless, give Sir Fred
erick Bruce the full particulars of what is
going on in the Mexican Capital before he
sails for England; and later dispatches to our
own Government will put us iu possession,
liefor» many hours elapse, of the progress
which is being made toward terminating the
iuvasion.
The ('Winu Armia.
We noticed a lew days siuce the arresl,
under the “Civil Rights Bill,” by the U. S.
authorities of some citizens of Griffin, in
this State, at the instance of one J. C.
Swayze, and their imprisonment iu Fort Pu
laski to await trial. We are pleased to learn
that these parties were released yestfoday
on hail to appear before the U. S. Court for
the Northern District of Georgia, in March
next, at Atlanta. They are gentlemen of
the highest respectability, and it appears to
be well understood that the warrant for
their arrest was sued out on fictitious alle
gations. Being the first cases of arrest in
Georgia under the “Civil Rights Bill,” they
have excited no little interest in the public
mind.
It gives us pleasure to state that the lib
eration ot the prisoners is largely due to the
active exertions of Mr. Fitch, of the Griffiu
Star, who has been spendiug several days in
our city in the interest of the parties re
ferred to, and we congratulate him upou the
success of his friendly mission.
A Clean Sweep.
It is reported that two more names.have
been added to the fist ot Radical aspirants to
Congress, who were defeated iu the late
elections, and who have avowed their deter
mination to contest the seats of their success
ful opponents. The names in question are
Stuart and Thomas, both of Maryland. The
ground for thus proceeding is that their com
petitors were elected by disfranchised votes,
and are. consequently not entitled to their
seats. There are now, says a contemporary,
ten Radicals who have announced them
selves as contestants for seats in Congress,
and if they succeed iu their efforts, as it is
quite likely they will, about one-fourth of
the Democratic delegation will he ejected
Why not go the whole figure at ouce and de
clare that no Democrat is eligible to a seat in
Congress. This summary mode would save
the country considerable money and the Rad
icals some trouble.
Affairs in Spain—It is known that this
unfortunate country-has been on the verge
oP a revolution for months past. To avert
the impending catastrophe the Orleans
' blanch of the Bourbon family, ot whioh the
Queen is a member, lately held a council, in
which they resolved to advise Isabella to
abandon her present political policy against
the desire of her people for more popular re
forms, and to rely upon the leaders of the
liberal parly for the restoration of that good
feeling between sovereign aed people so nec
essary to the maintenance of the credit and
internal quiet of the kingdom. It is said,
however, that when this advice was commu
nicated to the Queen she contemptuously re
jected it, uDd remarked, “that as revolution
was making war upon the crown, the crown
must retaliate by making war against revo
lution.’' From this it would appear that
Spain will soon be convulsed with a bloody
civil war- - . '
Tub Meeting of theNew Congress. —The
House passed the bill fixing the regular time
of meeting of Congress by 124 to 29. This
convenes the first session of the next Con
gress on the 4th of March, and the second,
on the 2d of* January, 1868, so that the
body may continue in session and make it
self permanent. Thus we have u close imi
tation of the French Revolutionary Conven
tion by our American Congress—an imitation
of its absorption of power and its bod pas
sions, but by no means of its brilliant intel
lect.
Important Decision.—Two of the Circnit
Judges ol Tennessee have pronounced the
infamous franohise law of that State uncon
stitutional, viz: Judge Cooper, of the
Murfreesboro Circuit, and Judge Campbell,
ot the Clarksville Circuit. Judge Cooper de
clares it unconstitutional *on the ground that
the body of men who passed it hod no legis
lative existence, there not having been a
quorum present when the law was passed.
Judge Campbell pronounces the law uncon
stitutional without bringing into question the
legality of the Legislature.
A Confederate General in Distress.—It
is stated that a letter from General S. C.
Hindman, of Arkansas, dated Cariotta, Mexi
co, has been received by President Johnson,
asking Executive pardon. The letter gives
a doleful account of the writer’s health and
situation: It is not probable that the par
don will be granted. Hindman may be pa
roled, with permission to return to the
United States under certain restrictions.
The Case of Jcdob Jones.—Itjwifi be seen,
says the Mobile Register, from the proceed
ings of the United States District Court at
Montgomery, that the Hon. Wm. G. Jones,
of .thrs city, arraigned before that tribunal
on a charge of treason, has been permitted
to depart in peace." We congratulate the
Judge upon his deliverance from the vexa-
iou8 affair.
The Cstfss Tax.
There 'Is bo subject of general interest
about which the public mind is more pro
foundly exercised at present than tbe abroga
tion of tbe tux on cotton. Tbe Hew York
Chamber of Commerce have adopted a me
morial praying Congress to abolish the ex
port duty on cotton. Figures are g ven to
show the relative production of cotton here
and in Europe, and that not only the control
of the European market is impracticable, but
that American cotton is likely To become
more and more insignificant in that market,
unless the exportation of the staple is perfect
ly free of duty.
The Nashville Chamber of Commerce have
appointed a committe to memorialize Con
gre8s for the repeal of the tax, and, aiso, to
consider and determine on the expediency of
raising funds to test the constitutionality of
the tax.
The Board ef Trade of Louisville have
passed resolutions to prepare a case to be
presented to the United States Courts,
order to procure a decision thereon in refer
ence to tbe recent acts of Congress relative
to the tax on cotton.
It is a significant fact that an earnest and
sincere appeal arises from all tbe commercial
classes of the North for the repeal of a tax
which falls immediately upon the South. It
has been demonstrated that befoYe the war
the per cent of cotton furnished tbe mf.au
facturers of England was eighty-four. Now
it is about forty per cent- Every additional
cent added to tbe tax upon the production of
cotton, is a bonus to those countries ontside
of the United States which produce cotton
But why should we of the South urge upon
Radical Congressmen the evil result of their
legislation ? It is better, perhaps, to let them
run to the lull length of their caprice, and
then when they hare fonnd that burdensome
tax upon Southern productions is the same
thing upon themselves, they will awake to
the true position of affairs.
A Card.
The undersigned, late prisoners under the
Civil Rights bill, at the instance of one J. (J
Swayze, desire to express their appreciation
for the kindness shown them by all parlies
with whom they have come iu coutact,
during their arrest, more especially Mr. IV.
Russell, Jailor of Chatham county, Capt. P.
W. Houlihan, in command at Fort Pulaski,
Capt. J. G. Loan, of the steam-tug Webster,
U. S. Com. -A. W. Stone, U. 8. Deputy Mar
slial P. V. Robinson, Messrs. F. W. Sims &
Co., L. J. Guilmartin A Co., Clark, Jones A.
Co., and in fact all the merchants on the Bay,
and numerous other parties whose names
have escaped our memory. In regard
Capt. Houlinhan, we are of the opinion that
only one such man was ever made and the
material exhausted. He combines the char
acter of a model soldier and perfect gentle
man, a thorough disciplinarian and yet uot a
tyrant. Loan, of tfie steam-tug, is a “per
fect brick,” and if he don’t “hide out” we
shall take him home with us. We also feel
under obligation to tbe steam-tng Company,
under the management of Messrs. H. J.
Dickerson * Co., for favors extended to us.

DIED.
Of cholera, in Savannah, Ga., on Saturday morning,
December 1, I860, MARGARET FEDORA, “third
daughter of the late Daniel D. Gopp.” and-wife of
James C. McNulty, Esq., all of thlq|etty.
Also, a few hours later, ARTHUR WILBUR Mc-
NULTY, their little son, aged 2 years.
For days and nights the child had been prostrated
by the disease, and intense anxiety and solidtnde for
his recovery, with weary watchings, had nearly ex
hausted those whose affection and parental love al
lowed them no respite from tbe care of the dear little
sufferer, for his winning ways had endeared “little
Artie “ to all who knew him. Thursday afternoon
hope beamed brightly In that sick room, as favorable
symptoms appeared, and the prospects of hit recovery
seemed flattering.
Bat the clouds had only broken fora liltle season,
to gather again In darker gloom than aver; to blight
life’s happiest dreams and anticipations, and to bring
desolation to a happy home and loving heart..
Ere another aim had fairly risen the messenger of
Death came to the tender, laving mother, who was
stricken with the same disease, and so violent wee it
in its rapid progress, that her exhausted system sank,
and, after a few hours of extreme Suffering, her gentle
spirit passed from earth so quietly and Sweetly, that
those who stood beside her fait it to be some illusive
dream when it was said “ aha is gone.”
Timid and retiring in her disposition, her earthlv
happiness was centered In husband, children and
home, and in the faithful and loving discharge ot ell
of Ufa's duties. Asaa earnest, conscientious chris-
tian, with her “temp trimmed and bnming,’’ the
summons came, “ The Master is come and caUeth for
thee.”
The blessed connotation which cornea to the an-,
gulshed hearts which row bleed under this sudden
and heavy stroke is, that which, by Divine Grace, she
was enabled, hi the eariy stage of the disease, to give:
convinced, henslt of the hopelessness of her ewe.
she eeia, *‘ Death has ho terrors for me; I em ready
and willing to dle/'and telar in the day. amid agoni
zing cramp, she was abla again to reaffirm her prepa
ration for the ohing*. rad teafo ’’ All is pares.’!
Aa if her spirit tented hi its upward flight for that
Uttle one, but a law abort hours pa sand ere his freed
spirit left ill suffering tenement, and mother end
child were again united.
In one grave they wan buried as the sen was set
ting, and the shadows of evening gathered o’er that
silent City of the Dead not (more rapidly and-daiiaaly
than the gloom and poignancy of this doubts affliction
has shadowed the Ufa and heart ot the beloved hus
band end little daughter, who mingle thntr tears with
the doting widowed mother, brothers and sisters who

A NEW AND GRAND EPOCH IN MED
ICINE.
Dr. Magoiel is the founder or a new Medical Sys
tem ! The quniititarians, whoso .vast internal doses
enfeeble the stomach and paralyze the bowels, must
give precedence to the mau who restores health and
appetite, with from one to two of his extraordinary
Pills, and cures ihe most virulent sores with a box
or so of bis wonderful and all-healing Salre- These
two great specifics of the Doctor are fast supersed
ing all tho stereotyped nostrums of the day. Extra
ordinary cures by Maggiel's Pills aud Salve have
opened the eyes of the public to the inefficiency of
the fco-callrd) remedies of others, and upon which
people have so lohg blindly depended. Maggiel’s
Pills are uot of the class that are swallowed by tbe
dozen, and of which every box frill taken creates an
absolute necessity for another. Oue or two of Mag-
giel's Pd Is suffices to place the bowels in perfect or.
der, tone tbe stqmach, create an appetite, and ren
der the spirits light and buoyant.
There is no griping, and no reaction in the form
of constipation.
If tho liver is affected,-Its functions are restored;
and ot the nervous system is feeble, it is invigorated.
This last quality mukes the medicines very desirable
for the wants of delicate females.
Ulcerous and eruptive diseases' are literally extin
guished by the disinfectant power of Maggiel’s Salve.
In fact, it le here announced that
MAGGIEL’S BILIOUS DYSPEPTIC AND DIAR
RHOEA PILLS
cure where all all others fail.
While for Burns, Scalds, Cats and all abrasions of
the skin
MAGGIEL’S SALVE
Is Infallible.
