Apply at this of- gg| g I IB> M1 Our paper does not come up to our usu al standard this week, and if our readers ah* (Hssappointed we are prepared to sym pathize with them, for we are not only dis appointed, but mortified. We hope and intend to do better hereafter, or know the reason why if we don’t. Drunkenness is a great evil any where, but there is no place th’s side of heaven where its victims are more out of place than in a printing office. Hon. B. H. Hill has made special ap- io the present for a general par don'and amnesty of people concerned in lhe infraction of the revenue laws on condi ti®n that they promise obedience to the laws hereafter. "‘This is a matter of vital importance to the people of North Georgia who have been the victims of much injus tice nnd oppression from revenue officers; and, if the application is granted, it will re lieve, in particular many good citizens of this and adjoining counties who have been arrested for mere technical violation of the law. lhe Contest for the Cadetship. The examination of applicants for the crulets|ii/at West Point military academy began at Cartersville oil the 22d and emlcl" at midnight on the’23d ultimo There were twenty-four applicants—a class of handsome, intellectual, and most prom ising young men. The examination was conducted fairly and satisfactorily to all parties. The race w.is close between eight nppbcants. On the consolidation of the grades, it was found that the grade of Ed gar Hubert of Polk and of 8. W Johnson, our promising countyinan, was so close as to necessitate a.xomplete Revision of their respective grades. This done, Mr. Hubert was ascertained to be a fraction ahead of Mr. J >hnson, who was the second choice. M Idle we regret that Cherokee did not wig, we. congratulate Mr. Johnson on the manly fight he made, and Mr. Hubert on being the brightest young intellectual star in the Seventh district Mr. Johnson leaves this week for Louis ville Medical college, where he will pursue a course of studies preparatory to entering the medical profession. We predict for him a bright future and a distinguished name. . . Miserable Policy. We think it is miserable policy for Jeff. Davis Bob Toombs and other leaders in the late rebellion, to continue to be the oracles of the South, whenever a great question be tween the two antagonistic sections arises. It is two late now for such men to give •beir opinions, and as they misled the peo ple once, and caused the nun and degrada tion of the South, by either their ignorance or knavery, wn think it is contemptible pre sumption and shameful effrontery for such men to attem^t'to'inflftencepublic opinion and *o direct public sentiment at this time. They have been “weighed in the balances and found wantingthey have proven themselves to be unsafe and unworthy lend ers. and a dignified silence on their part would be prudent and commendable. They have wrecked one ship, with its millions of 1 v< snnd property, by their recklessness and bad management, and they are not the men to lie intrusted with Whatever may be Wo covered frqip.lhr effects of the a’orin which they raised; bnt failed most signally to con trol. Their mouthing* nnd growling* are doing us incalculable mischief, nnd aiding and abetting those who are striving to keep us in poverty and subjection. They have rothhig in lose, nnd like blind Samson, they are disp< rate, and would destroy them relvr* and their friends rml their country, in order that their enemies might perish in the general wreck. We don’t bcHeve our ] < npte are in sym|>athy with such men, lor baviag been deceived and betraycdHhy them « lire, (raprebd’y by Toom I*-) they crUinly have more sensei wall to follow such leaders again. Th' ranllngs of Toombs and his sort ought to be discouraged and regarded with contempt by all decent and sensible pi'ople, and wiser counsels than he ever g.»ve, nr cun now give, should prevail with the people of the South.
