BYMPTOM3 OF A DISEASED LIVER. Bad Breath; Pain in the Side, sometimes the pain is felt under the Shoulder-blade, mistaken for Rheumatism; general loss of appetite; Bowels generally costive, sometimes alternating with lax; the head is troubled with pain, is dull and heavy, with considerable loss of memory, accompanied with a painful sensation of leaving undone something which ought to have been done; a slight, dry cough and flushed face is sometimes an attendant, often mistaken for consumption; the patient complains of weariness and debility; nervous, easily startled; feet cold or burning, sometimes a prickly sensation of the skin exists; spirits are low and despondent, and, although satisfied that exercise would be bene ficial, yet one can hardly summon up fortitude to try k—in fact, distrusts every remedy. Several of the above symptoms attend the disease, but cases have occurred when but few of them existed, yet examination after death has shown the Liver to have been extensively deranged. It shoulj be used by all persons, old and young, whenever any of the above symptoms appear. Persons Traveling or Living In Un healthy Localities, by taking a dose occasion ally to keep the Liver in healthy action, will avoid all Malaria, Bilious attacks, Dizziness, Nau sea, Drowsiness, Depression of Spirits, etc. It will invigorate like a glass of wine, but is no in toxicating beverage. If You have eaten anything hard of digestion, or feel heavy after meals, or sleep less at night, take a dose and you will be relieved. Time and Doctors* Bills will be saved by always keeping the Regulator ' in the House! For, whatever the ailment may be, a thoroughly safe purgative, alterative and tonic can never be out of place. The remedy is harmless and does not interfere with business or pleasure. • IT IS PURELY VEGETABLE, And has all the power and efficacy of Calomel or Quinine, without any of the injurious after effects.

The old man sat in his easy chair, At eve when the sun was low Watching the clouds of departing day, Dance o’er the fallen snow. Into the far away shadowy past, Unbidden memory strayed Where oft mid scenes too bright to last. With his dear companions played. When life was joyous bright and free No clouds or darkness near When hope her sweetest notes prolonged, To quell perchance a fear. O’er lifes pathway again he roamed, To manhoods riper years, Till retrospection made him mourn, Joys melted int j tears. Then fancy turned to the evening close Of a life so near at hand, And thence to whitened plains above, In his Father’s goodly land. The fields ail white, the harvest near, His days work nearly done, When farewell Earth its joys and tears, The conflict o’er, the victory won. BENJAMIN HARVEY HILL Eulogies of Georgia’s Great Son. Tender and Eloquent Tributes to His Talents and Virtues—Senator Brown Greatly Moved—The Dead Statesman’s Love for His Mother —Notable Speeches in the House. Washington, Jan. 25. —1n the Sen ate, to-day having been set apart for the services in honor of the late Senator Hill, of Georgia, Mr. Brown, immedi ately after the reading of the journal, moved the following resolutions; Resolved, Tha’t earnestly desiring to show every possible mark of respect to the memory of Hon. Benj. 11. Hill, late a Senator of the United States from the State of Georgia, and to man ifest the high estimate in which his eminent public services and distin guished patriotism are held, the busi ness of the Senate be now suspended that the friends and associates of the late Senator Hill may pay fitting trib ute to his high character, his public services and his private virtues. Resolved, That in the death of Sen ator Hill the country has sustained a loss, which has been felt and deplored to the utmost limits of the Union. Resolved, That the Secretary of the Senate communicate these resolutions to the House of Representatives. Resolved, That as an additional mark of respect for the memory of the deceased the Senate do now adjourn. Mr. Brown then delivered an address in which lie sketched the history of Mr. Hill, and spoke of his own early differ ences with him in the politics of Geor gia, and of their late co-operation and friendship. In one of the last letters written by Senator Hill before his death to Mr. Brown, referring to the past, he said: “Who would then have thought that you were during my lifetime to become my most trusted and confiden tial friend?’’ Speaking of Mr. Rill’s career in Congress, Mr. Brown said that by his ability and character he soon won the respect and even the friendship of his leading opponents, and that at his death Mr. Blaine, his great antagonist in the House of Representa tives, wrote a letter of condolence which did honor to the writer’s head and heart, and which was highly ap preciated by the friends of the deceased. Mr. Brown said that Mr. Hill’s love for his mother and his veneration for her memory after death was beautiful and touching feature of his character. When at home it was his habit to go every day into the parlor where her portrait hung, look tenderly into her face and bow reverently on retiring, and when he had become too feeble to walk alone he had himself carried into the parlor, and gazing loving on the face, with eyes filled with tears, he said: “I shall soon be with her again.” Mr. Brown spoke at some length of the religious education and character of Senator Hill, and said that thfe last sentence uttered by him was, “Almost home!” Mr. Ingalls delivered a brief and elo quent address, in which he spoke of the dead Senator as a born polemist, and said that of all the dead whose obse quies the Senate had paused to solem nize, he recalled none whose untimely fate seemed so lamentable and yet so rich in prophecy as that of Senator Hill. Few scenes in modern history were more tragic than that protracted combat with death. Mr. Vest spoke of Mr. Hill’s opposi tion to secession and of his labors in the Confederate Congress, after he had gone out with his State, in defense of the President of the Confederacy against Toombs, Yancy, Wigfall and other as sailants, and of his attempt to nerve the people to continue the struggle un til he become satisfied that all was over and nothing remained for him but to share the fortunes of the people of Georgia. In concluding Mr. Vest apos trophized the dead Senator, saying: “Patriot, orator, statesman, farewell! Let Georgia guard well thy grace; for in her soil rest not the ashes of one whose life has done more to illustrate her manhood; whose genius has given such glory of her name!” Mr. Morgan said that Alabama, the eldest daughter of Georgia, approached thiß occasion with a prond bnt stricken spirit. He spoke of Mr. Hill's devotion to the Union, and his reluctance to ad mit that secession and war were inevit able; of the greatness of the tasks which the Confederate Congress had to perform; of Mr. Hill’s in its labors, and of his subsequent efforts in behalf of the people of Georgia in the reconstruction period, and said that the late Senator was a hold, daring and powerful man, whose conviction were always the guide of his action and the measure of his duty. Mr. Edmunds spoke of Mr. Hill as a man of the very highest order of in tellectual strength, both in his percep tive and in his reflective faculties, able to percieve with clearness the relations ot things, and the remote as well as the near effects of current eveuts. A Whig and an American, he foresaw something of the future and opposed secession, but when it was resolved upon and undertaken, he gave himself up to what he considered his duty to his State. This notion of fidelity to one’s State was almost a natural in stinct, and often appeared even in the Senate, whose members are Senators of the United States and not, in a consti tutional sense, any more representatives of the parties of States electing them than of all other States. Understand ing and sympathizing with Senator Hill, though differing widely from him in respect to many of his acts and opin ions, Mr. Edmunds had felt deeply for him and his family and his people i% the calamity that had come upon them, and the sympathy and admiration of all had grown more profound and tender when they had seen him bearing the greatest of human sufferings with a calm and manly fortitude and the su preme happiness of Christian hope. Other speeches, equally generous in their appreciation of the dead Senator, were made by Messrs. Sherman, Voor hees and Jones, of Florida. Mr. Barrow made the closing address. He spoke of the strong impression made upon lti.n as a young man by Mr. Hill’s oratory, and of the great admiration of tho deceased which he had always felt in common with the people of Georgia. He described in a touching manner his last interview with Senator Hill in At lanta, just a month before his death. He found the greatest talker he had ever known utterly powerless of speech, and compelled to communicate by writ ing slowly with a pencil. In reply to Mr. Barrow’s inquiries, he wrote: “I wish I could talk. My present doctors have given me to understand that I cannot recover, and my time is uncer tain, from a few months to several years. They have told me to employ any other doctors and remedies I see proper.” 1 Aft the conclusion of Mr. Barrow’s remarks, the resolutions were adopted and the Senate adjourned. Mr. Hammond opened the eulogies in the House. Many fine speeches were made. S. S. Cox made, perhaps the best, though that of Senator Ingalls was as brilliant as a diarae"' l ,. Mr, Hammond referred to Senator Hill's well known love for the union of the States. In speaking of his delivery as a speaker, he said he never told an anecdote, quoted neither poetry nor the classics, yet he charmed and electrified his audience. The patience of the dead Senator in bearing his suffering was told in forcible expression. Mr. Hill’s written replies to his pastor just before his death were told with effect and fer vor. Mr. Hammond concluded as fol lows: “Of such a character as this it can be but said: ‘Oh! death where is thy sting? Oh! grave where thy victory?’ ” Mr. Speer made a good effort. His speech was rhetorical. Mr. Tucker, of Virginia, followed him. He referred to the great amnes ty debate in tho House a few years ago, and said it was a battle of giants, in which Mr. Hill was second to none. Though the side which he advocated was often voted down, he was never overcome by any. He was exalted and eloquent. His reasoning was not tech nical, but he cut down to tho very root in debate. lie would snatch victory from defeat. He was aggressive in his argument. He attacked the enemy in the centre, seldom in the flank, He was as formidable as a debater as any man of his day. He struck fierce ly at a foe, but without animosity. He was not a great reader, but his reading was such as to strengthen his mind. The summit of his ambition was to serve his country well. Mr.House, of Tennessee, said that Mr. Hill’s death caused a vacancy in the national councils which could not be supplied. He was a debated and a statesman of brilliancy. He belonged to the first class of AmerJ&m states men. Distinguished as was his life, all the honors showered on him paled before the sublime patience and Christ ian fortitude with which he met death. Mr. Wellborn, of Texas, said that Mr. Hill was a great lawyer, orator and statesman. He always saw thein evitable and made the best of all situ ations. His intellect was equal to any emergency, and he possessed a fidelity to duty from which nothing could sev er him. He loved his country, and held that good government was the highest boon that could be given a peo ple. He wound up elegantly and touchingly, dwelling upon the last words of the dead Senator, “almost home.” Mr. Kasson compared Senator Hill with Oliver Cromwell. Ho was stur dy and honest in purpose. His intel lect was of unusual power. He was not prejudiced against the North, though his honest hope for the welfare of thq South had led many to think so. His integrity of heart was great. He never failed to impress one with the certainty of the honesty of his convic tions. No higher tribute could be paid to the honor of the dead than for every member of Congress to practice the virtues which he possessed. Mr. Hooker, of Mississippi, said that Mr. Hill was so simple, yet so lucid and so,forcible in his arguments, that the salient points of them were seized on by the most intelligent. His words were always the words of wisdom and lofty patrotism. Wherever he spoke and whatever he said was for the in terest. of his country. Mr. Cox made the last Speech. He compared Mr Hill to Gambetta, and drew a parallel between their deaths. Mr. Hill had rounded a life of the rar est mould. His character combined beauty with strength. He had a legal mind. His forte was as an advocate. His choice for the unity of Georgia rather than the unity of his country was honest. He was to the South what Gambetta was to France. Both were to save, but both were there to re build and restore. He was all for Georgia. His robust physique, bis eloquence, his silvery voice, was all for Georgia. His devotion to Georgia was but the stepping-stone to his love for his country. He was more than a classic hero. He was a follower of •the meek and lowly one. Mr. Cox paid a high tribute to the long roll of Georgians who have achieved fame as statesmen, soldiers and sailors. TO THE PEOPLE OP GEORGIA. Department of Agriculture, ) Atlanta, Ga., Jan. lGth,lßß3.j The General Assembly, during its recent session, passed the following resolution, to-wit: Resolved, by the General Assem bly of Georgia, That His Excellency,' the Governor, he and he is hereby au thorized to invite and receive specimens of tho agricultural, horticultural, min eral, and manufactured products, and of the forestry of this State, that may be furnished him.by tho citizens of this State for the purpose of forwarding the same to the Exposition to be held in Boston, Massachusetts, in September, 1883. Approved December 9th, 1882. In pursuance of which His Excel lency, Governor Alexander 11. Ste phens, issued, January 4th, the follow ing proclamation, to-wit: A Proclamation by the Governor. A CALL FOR SPECIMENS OF GEORGIA PROD UCTS, AGRICULTURAL HORTICULTU RAL, FORESTRY, MINERALS AND MANUFACTURERS. Executive Department,! State of Georgia, s Ati.anta, Ga., Jan. 4th 1883.) Whereas, heretofore, to-wit, in the month of November last, the following communication was received by me, as Governor of the S'tate, from the Secre tary of the New England Manufactu rers' and Mechanics' institution, or Boston, Mass., to-wit: New England Manufacturers’ and Mechanics’ Institution, Treasurer’s Office 38 Hawley Street, Boston,Mass., October 30th, 1882. To His Excellency, the Governor of Georgia : * “Dear Sir —ln behalf of the New England Manufacturers’ and Mechan ics’ Institute, and by the authority of its official board, I hereby extend to tlie State of Georgia a cordi-tl invitation to make an exhibit of its agricultural pro ducts and resources at the third annual fair of the Institute, which will be open edthe first week of September, 1883, and continue until a day in Novem ber to be determined hereafter. “An invitation of like tenor has been sent to the Governor of every one of the Southern States. The purpose of the proposed exhibition is to afford an opportunity to all those States and Territories which wish for settlers from the North to present, in practical shape, examples of the product* of the soil illustrative of its adaptability to the various branches of planting, farm ing and horticulture. The new rail way system of the great West will be invited to make a similar exhibition at the Institute, that the North may thus become, for the time being, the arena in which the South and West may compete with each other for that sur plus population which yearly leaves New England in search of homes else where. “The invitation is forwarded at this early day that your Excellency may have ample time to consider the sub ject, and to make such suggestions thereon to the Legislature of your State as you may deem appropriate. With high consideration, I am sir, yours most respectfully, Frederick D. Griffin. Secretary.” And whereas, the above communica tion was submitted by me to the Gen eral Assembly of the State at the last session for their consideration, and such action as they might deem prop er in the premises, whereupon the Gen eral Assembly passed the following resolution, to-wit: “Resolved, by the General Assem bly ot Georgia, That His Excellency, the Governor, be and is hereby author ized to invite and receive specimens of the agricultural, horticultural, mineral and manufactured products, and of tlie foresty of this State, that may he fur nished him by the citizens of this State, for the purpose of forwarding the same to the Exposition to bo held in Boston, Massachusetts, in September, 1883. “Approved December 9th, 1882.-” Now, therefore, in the discharge of the duty assigned to me by the resoli - tion of the Legislature, I hereby in this Proclamation give general notice to the citizens of Georgia, that I have put this business in the hands of Hon. J. T. Henderson, Commissioner of Agriculture of this State, with direc tions that he tako charge of all the correspondence on this subject, and that all citizens of the State he and they are hereby requested to send to him such specimens of the agricultural, horticultural, mineral and manufactur ed products, and ot the forestry of tliis State, as they may be able and feel disposed to contribute to the exposi tion aforesaid. I moreover hereby give a cordial in vitation to all citizens to make such contributions as they may bo able to make, that Georgia, in her vast and varied resources, may be well repre sented among her sister States in this Exposition. The collection thus made by the the Commissioner of Agriculture to be held by him subject to the disposition of the Legislature at its adjourned ses sion in July next. Alexander 11. Stephens, By the Governor. Governor. I. W. Avery. Secretary Executive Department. It h aving been thus made my duty to solicit and receive the proposed con tributions, 1 take this method of bring ing the matter to the attention of the people of the State. Georgia is rich in undeveloped min eral, agricultural and manufacturing resources, but has neither the capital nor the population necessary to their speedy development. New England lias surplus capital and population seeking profitable investment and em ployment. Owing to the intelligent ef forts of the States of the Northwest to make known their resources, by judi cious exhibitions of their products at tho various Exhibitions, the great bulk of both the surplus capital and popula tion of tho East have sought employ ment in the West. We desire to turn a portion of this capital and population to Georgia, but iu order to do this, we must make known our resources by exhibiting rep resentative specimens of our products 1 where they will be brought to the at tention of capitalists and those seek ing homes in a more genial clime and a less crowded region. An admirable opportunity is now afforded to make an exhibit of our re sources, and make known the induce ments offered by our great State to cap italists and immigrants. As will be seen by the foregoing invitation, the managers of the New England Manu facturers’ and Mechanics’ Institute of fer ample space for an exhibition of our resources, free of charge. It rests with the people ol the State to say whether they desire to make known the resources of their State, by contributing specimens of their pro ducts for this exhibits. If they expect and show bv contribu tions ttieir interest in the matter, tliey thereby express their desire to have our dormant wealth developed by the intro duction of capital from abroad. If they decline to contribute, they practically say to the outside world, we need neither capital nor immigrants —our resources, it is true, are great, and we have not the capital to detelop them, but we do not desire to make them known to the people of other States. The people of Georgia will not take such a position. To suppflse it, would be an insult to their intelligence. The people of the State are alive to the best interest of the commonwealth, and will not be lack'ng in public spirit when called upon to contribute for her ad vancement. A full illustrative exhibit of the rich and varied resources of Georgia at the Exposition to be held at Boston, a great center of capital and population, next fall, will be of incalculable value to our State, by inducing an investment in our mineral and agricultural lands, our water-powers and our forests, of a liberal share of the surplus capital of the East seeking investment abroad. The General Assembly adopted the foregoing resolution, it appears, for the purpose of giving the people of the Stale an opportunity of showing, by their response to the invitation of the Governor, to contribute specimens of products, their desire to have the State avail herself of the opportunity thus afforded for making known lier re sources, by appropriating the funds necessary to accomplish the'desired end and maintain the dignity of this great State. If the contributions are made in sufficient variety and quantity to cor rectly represent the State, tlie General Assembly will interpret such action on the part of the people as an expression of their desire that the State make the proposed illustration of her resources, and will probably make all necessary appropriation for that purpose. In view of these facts, every patriotic citizen is earnestly solicited to contri bute any and all products which will tend to illustrate the resources of our great State. what is desired. Owners of mineral lauds and quar ries of building stone are requested to prepare such specimens of their ores or building stone as will correctly repre sent the deposit in each case, and have them ready for shipment to this de partment by the first of June next, ac eampanied with all facts of interest, such as the extent of the mine or qarry, the average per centage of the metal in the ores, tlie strength of the building material, etc. The specimens of the building mate rial should be in cubes one foot square some dressed and some rough, to lllu trate the cleavage, or facility with which they are quarried. Specimens of all other mineral deposits are desired. WOODS. Specimens ol all valuable woods are desired, to illustrate the timber and | FOUR DOLLARS PER ANNUM. NO. 37. lumber resources of the State. The specimens of woods should be one foot in length, and cut into either halves or quarters, and the split surfaces dressed. Owners of saw-mills, and lumber dealers, are requested to prepare repre sentative specimens of the stock which they handle, embracing a full line from framing timber to shingles. BRICK, DRAIN TILE, ETC. Specimens of clay suited for mechan ical purposes, both crude and prepared in every commercial form produced in the State, will be acceptable. Specimens of limestone and marl, both natural and prepared for agricultural and mechanical uses, are desired. Specimens of cement, from the stone to the artificial stone, and pipe produc ed from it, are requested. TURPENTINE PRODUCTS From sections of trees, illustrating the system of boxing and collecting the crude material, to the moßt insignifi cant product of the manufacture, prop erly arranged for exhibition, are solicit ed. MANUFACTURED. The products of every variety of manufacture, including cotton, woolen, iron, steel, wooden ware, earthen ware, and various products from cotton seed; in a word, specimens of every variety of good manufactured within the State are solicited. AGRICULTURAL AND HORTICULTURAL PRO DUCTS. The farmers and horticulturists of the State are earnestly requested to plant with especial reference to produc ing good representative specimens of every product of the soil. The growers of improved seeds are requested to avail themselves of this opportunity for ad vertising the same, by preparing espe cially for exibition good specimens of each crop grown by them. Those who have no private interests to subserve, it is hoped will give an il lustration of their public spirit by mak ing voluntary contributions of tlieir products for the general interest of the State, which cannot he advanced with out advantage to all her citizens. TO SOCIETIES AND GRANGES. Experience in every department has demonstrated the advantage of organi zation. Valuable aid, in discharging this re sponsible duty assigned me by the Gov ernor, qs expected from the co-operation of the various agricultural organizations of the State. They are respectfully requested to take such steps at their next meeting as will secure a creditable representation ot tneir respective counties, uucu ui - ganizations may accomplish much by systematic work, in fuitherance of wlfich the following suggestion is made, viz: Let each organization at its next meeting assign to each member the du ty of growing certain specific crops with special view to the selection of creditable specimens for exhibition. . CORRESPONDENCE SOLICITED. Those who are willing to contribute, collect or prepare specimens for exhi bition, are requested to correspond with the Commissioner of Agriculture at an early date, stating what articles they can supply. As soon as the names of contributors are reported, with the character of the contributions proposed, blank forms on which to convey the necessary infor mation to accompany the exhibits will he mailed to the contributors. The Commissioner will take pleasure in furnishing anv information wliieh pro posed contributors may desire. Cards with shipping dirictions will he furnished at the proper time on ap plication. The co-operation of all good citizens is confidently expected in the prosecution of this important work, in which evetv Georgian is deeply in terested. Very respectfully, J. T.
