EDITORIAL NOTES.
We are gratified to learn that Gen. Wm.
T. Wofford has recently united with the
Presbyterian church.
It is estimated that the crops in Indiana
were injured to the amount of $3,000,000
by the recent floods.
General Longstreet has purchased prop
erty in and near Gainesville, and will make
that city his future domicil.
An exchange has a column headed “Our
Pie Box.” Judging from its mechanical
execution, we think an appropriate and
forcibly correct name for the paper itself
would be “The Paper of Pi.”
The Governor has appointed Hon. D. M.
Key of Chattanooga to fill she vacancy in
the United States Senate occasioned by the
death of Andrew Johnson. It is to be
hoped that Mr. Key will prove a bright one.
Reports from all sections of the Union
give encouraging accounts of the crop
prospects, and that, notwithstanding the
devastation caused by the winds and the
floods, this will be noted as a bountiful
year.
“You are a sharp Brewster, but how can
a body keep off a‘body’s toes’ when their
feet are so large.”— [Marietta Journal.
This fact but proves what is said,
“Extremes do frequently meet,”
For while friend Neal has the big head,
We boast of having the big feet.
The sensation regarding the Keely mo
tor, which, it was claimed, would eventually
supersede the use of steam, seems to be at a
standstill. No application has yet been
made for a patent, and it is reported that
the officers of the Patent office regard the
motor as a humbug.
Office-holders.
How often this class of men forget their
obligations to the people. They are put in
office by the people, and by the people they
are fed. They ought to remember the peo
ple are eternal. They may, and will pass
away. The people w ill remain forever. All
power belongs to the people; sooner or later
this class of men will find it out. How
often do we see the office-holder swelling
with his self-conceived importance. Acting
as if he thought the people should pull off
their hats and stand awe-struck at the maj
esty of his approach. Waxing fat, he kicks
at him who feeds him. The hireling above
him who has employed him. The servant
above the master. It is a lamentable fact,
the people have been the plaything of the
office-holder for more than two thousand
years. This must be reversed or government
is a failure. What is the remedy ? Educate
the people, teach them to love each other, to
live as a band of brothers, act in harmony,
be united, act more for public good than
for self-interest, be virtuous, be true to your
self, be true to your country and your God.
Demagogues will then have to hunt climes
more congenial—some boundless contiguity
of shade, where they may hide from the peo
ple they have wronged.
A Mural Obligation.
The Marietta and North Georgia Railroad
is a public enterprise, and ought to be sup
ported. This road is being built to develop
North Georgia. It would seem, therefore,
all North Georgia ought to have an interest
in it. It would seem the party at interest
are under moral obligation to help in this
struggle. Will any man, who has the
smallest speck of morality about him, stand
still and see his neighbor battling for his
country’s good, go down for want of help?
Will any man, who has any country pride
about hint, stand still and see the Marietta
and North Georgia Railroad a failure? go
down in a land of freemen, in a land that
God has so wonderfully blest ? a land
whereon lives our children just budding
into manhood and womanhood, and equal
in mental and moral worth to any under
the heavens. Men are known to the writer
who Jive on half rations so that they may
be the better able to help in thisgreat work.
Heaven and the country will reward such
men. The company constructing this road
are honorable men, faithful stewards who
will fully and freely account to the steak
holders for the use of their money ■ but they
netxl help now—com, wheat, bacon, any
thing that can be worn or eaten. levers
of North Georgia, to the rescue ! Friends of
the railroad, wake up !
Evidence* of Prosperity.
Every community presents to the most
casual observer unmistakable indications
of its thrift, enterprise, and good taste, or
its want of all these essential signs of pros
perity. Where the people are doing well,
wc see good roads, go<»d dwellings, good
barns, good fences, well cultivated crops,
fine otchards aud gardens. Besides, we
behold in such a community a comfortable
and well-arranged school-house or acade
my : a neat, well finished church, where
the people go up from Sabbath to Sabbath
to worship God and to train their children
In the tine and tight way. It is pleasant
to live in such a neighborhood, for there is
safety there for person and property; in
such a place, the people are intelligent
moral, sociable and religious; they are
identified in feeling and interest; they fvei
a deep concern lor inc cun.mon good ; the
laws of the country are respected and
obeyed, anti the laws of God, promulgated
in his Holy ami by his lailaiul watch,
Uien. are >- . tided with deepest reverence.
But, vt* mi other baud, dff.uutii
the picture! How different is the commu
nity, where the people take no pains to
adorn and beautify these homes; where
the shade-trees arc cut down, dwellings and
barns dilapidated, fences decayed and cov
ered with briers, roads neglected, school
houses wanting, or little and uncomfortable;
churches, if any at all, of the same charac
ter, and everything going to show that the
people take no interest in those things
which render home comfortable, society
desirable, and life agreeable.
We in this country, with a few excep
tions, are all poor, yet we have a healthy
climate, and productive lands; nature has
blest us with lavish hand, and all that is
necessary to make us prosperous and hap
py is, industry, enterprise and public spirit.
With these we can make our “waste places
glad” and our “deserts to rejoice and blos
som as the rose.” We can make our little
homes comfortable and convenient, our
small farms productive and profitable, our
schools well conducted and prosperous, our
churches neat and comfortable and well
arranged, with but a small expenditure of
money. People of the mountain country !
let us awake from our slumbers, fall into
line and join in the march of improvement.
Let us develop and improve our beautiful
country, substitute good churches for still
houses, neat institutions of learning for
groceries, and energy and well-directed la
bor for inactivity and indifference.
Negro Insurrection Suppressed.
For some time past the people of Middle
Georgia have been excited about the move
ments of certain unprincipled negroes, who
have been organizing military companies
in the “black belt,” and fears were enter
tained that an outbreak would occur; but
nothing definite was ascertained until the
18th instant, when a letter was intercepted
from a negro leader to the commander of a
negro company, ordering him to begin a
massacre of the whites. Upon this discov
ery, the people of Washington and adjoin
ing counties, where the diabolical plot was
to be carried out, became greatly alarmed ;
the military were called out, and the ring
leaders speedily arrested, thus frustrating
a conspiracy which would probably have
resulted in a horrible massacre. Over eighty
of the conspirators have been arrested, and
are in jail guarded by a strong military
force. As Judge Johnson has ordered a
spcci al session of the court to try the pris
oners, it is probable that the guilty parties
w'ill have a long rope and a short shnft.

The greatest revival of religion witness
ed in Fort Valley since the war has been

The county in Cherokee Georgia and
Alabama that can undoubtedly present the
most farmers who have bought no farm
products this year, and will produce certifi
cates to that effect, will be presented with
a flag at the Rome fair in October.
McDuffie county claims a man who has
made good cro|)B since 1811, and has own
ed and fanned the place since 1813. He
has made sixty-four crops, sixty-two of
which were on the same plantation, and

flour or bacon, and never was in debt.
ELSEWHERE.
The shipment of peaches from Mississip
pi this season is estimated at 300,000 boxes.
The Postmaster of Vicksburg has been

time, that this planter has l»cen faithfully
fulfilling his promise.
A new invention for preventing railway
accidents, by an improved system ofsignal
ng, has been exhibited in London. It enn
rists of an insulated rail laid beneath the
fore fool way, by means of which station
masters can telegraph to a train while in
motion, or one train can communicate with
another.
W. T. Hatch, of Minneapolis, Minn , lias
now on his h-ioks the names of over 3,000
IMTsons. scattered over twenty Stales. Cana

a day. At the rate that names arc coming
in, lie expects soon to have a li«t of 10,000
anxious to change their location to a milder
u lituate.
Acworth News.
Correspondence of the Georgian.
Business in Acworth is rather dull at
present, but the prospects are that wc will
do our usual share of business this fall.
Our clever young friend C. M. Horch is
going to start to New York soon, for a
heavy stock of dry goods for the fail trade.
He says he will give notice to his numerous
Cherokee customers of their arrival through
an advertisement in your paper.
The firm of Phillips, Perkinson & Co.,
has dissolved, and the business is now car
ried on by M. M. & C. C. Phillips, who are
too well known in Cherokee as clever and
reliable merchants to need any introduction
A lodge of Knights of Honor has been
organized in i ur town, with twelve or fif
teen charter members. Dr. C. C. Andrews
was elected Dictator. I understand its ob
ject is in the nature of a life insurance com
pany.
We have one of the best hotels in North
Georgia, which is at present crowded with
visitors from Florida and lower Georgia.
This fact, of itself, is sufficient recommenda
tion.
Acworth High school is now in a flourish
ing condition. It is conducted by Professor
Holmes, a gentleman who possesses all the
qualifications requisite for a successful
teacher.
For good morals, Acworth is certainly
ahead of other railroad towns. By an act
of the last Legislature, the sale of ardent
spirits is prohibited within two miles ot the
High school; and there are three large
brick churches here, which are well at
tended.
If you have any clever good-looking
men in Canton (which 1 do not doubt), they
would do well to call and see some ot our
young ladies, who are ever ready to see
such gentlemen. Such young men arc
very scarce in our town ; at least, the girls
tells me so.
Marion’s sweetheart, I learn, is soon to
be married. There is nothing like being
lucky with some people.
You may expect our town to patronize
your paper, as we are connected with
Cherokee county materially, and arc soli
citous for its future prosperity.
I will keep you posted with reg ird to lo
cal events, as I shall always be on the
Lookout.
