It is somewhat a coincidence that the first issue of our Daily should be upon the New Year's day of the Jewish ecclesiastical year. 5636 years ago, says the Isrcalitish Calen dar, the earth was ushered into the celestial list of planets, and another world joined its feeble anthem in the grand symphony to the ... . . Mighty Ruler; that same day another ! no " neod * ^ * to the question in What has been the resnlt of the Money Panics asJetfccting the interests of the South, It is a principle in the great laws of change, that the sceptre of power cannot be traqsfered from one section or people to another, without temporary embarrassment to the" one, while it brings serious, if not permanent ruin to the other. Especially is this true when such change is the result of revolution. So effectually does the recip rocal interests of the different sections of a nation, which reciprocity is so entirely con trolled by the law s of commerce, depend ho one upon the other, that altering pros perity," whii3i works the decline'of the one, must retard or embarrass the progress of the other proportionately with their mutu al dependence. It might here be argued that under this law of reciprocal depend ence, there couldbe no surety or permanency of national prosperity, which would not be subject, to ruinious overthrow, under those revolutions incident to political differences, commercial antagonism, and such other op posing causes as may be termed the incen tives for sectional supremacy and indcoend- encc. In a good degree this must be ad mitted but it must be born in mind that this rule is excepted to in those cases where superior geographical relations and physi cal advantages makes it in the power of one section to maintain its independence over the other. Then with the forgoiug principle an- humble votarie enters the journalistic circles, : point.

Now not wealth, lias enabled her with no mistaken power to control the government towards our further subjugation, and more complete bankruptcy, This political result, together with the consequent northern extravagance both in legitimate trade and speculation unsustained as it has been by the crippled agricultural and commercial industries of the South, and upon which rests in no uncertain degree, the strength of north ern wealth viz. her manufacturing interest, less than a dozen of our fanners have paid j p roduccd as a natural and inevitable conse- theira six weeks in advance. ^ erilj, like j q Uenc e, the late financial failures at the Home Enterprise. The above trite and familiar caption b not intended to introduce anything new, bnt will embody n few practical thoughts, which we wbh to give to our readers and the public generally. This theme has been advocated by orators, and treated upon by junrnalbts from time immemorial, and indeed ever since enter prise, that great motor of commerce first sprung into existence, “ Home Enterprise” has been the watchword along the ranks of progress. That it should be encouraged, we will not stop to dismiss, that it b, inmost in stances, encouraged, only testifies man’s ap preciation and willingness to secure advance ment in general, but that in many cases it b not encouraged as it should be—remains as a sad commentary upon hb appreciation of the progressive efforts of hb fellow men. To make the question practical, and to bring tt home, do we give that proper encouragement to our enterprises, which so many of them deserve. Athens is essentially a growing town ; it has steadily increased in commer cial importance since the war, but do we bestow the proper degree of sympathy and encouragement upon our progressive inter ests ? We have not been found wanting, as far as comprehension b concerned, in recog nizing the importance of our local growth, but we have not, if the truth must be told, stimulated it to a sufficient extent For ex ample, a new man comes here, opens a store and furnishes it with a fine assortment of goods; well that’s a good thing, we say, a sign of business, wc are glad to see it; but do we aid this merchant in his efforts for mutual improvement? Do we patronize him and show that our appreciation and ap proval is substantia], so that by our aid he may be sustained. Our answer is that iu many instances, we are remiss about this. Wc scud off to other cities for goods and articles, when they could be gotten here, where our patronage like Shakespeare’s mercy, “ blesses him that gives and him that takes,” and further more, contributes its mite for the improve ment of our community iu general. Now, we speak plainly, and we utter facts. We do not give to home industries, we do not contribute to home enterprises a proper GEORGIA GLEANINGS. ®elegropl)tc lawbkncevillel Married, at the bride’s father’s, John D.

Q,. C. Lamar, of Miss-, issippi, will lecture in various cities of the North daring the Fall months preceding the assembling of Congress. It is to be hoped that this report is true, for it would be hard to find two gentlemen in the whole South more competent to enforce the lesson the people of the North are just learning, aud convince them that Southern Democrats are not the bandits and negro-killers the Radi cal press are so anxious to make them out. Senator Gordon was a brave and gallant soldier in the war and has been an bouest and faithful citizen since, a good representa tive of a very large class throughout the Southern States. Lamar is another notable representative of the same class—a class that would quickly regain for tbe South its olden wealth and prosperity if the reconstruction were lifted and a chance given them’to work. Gordon has been several years in tbe United States Senate now, and Lamar served in the last House, is a candidate for re-election, and will doubtless be returned. Both have done good service for the South by the pru dent and Conservative course which they have pursued; and the success which] they have had in winning the friendship and con fidence of their political adversaries in Cons gross gives good reason to hope that their appearance on the platform in Northern cities will be followed by the same happy re sults.

Y., Oct. 2.—The famous trotting mare, American Girl, fell dead this afternoon iu the first heat, a free for all race on the Elmira Driving Park. She appeared at the stand to be in the very best condition. The horses were scored a number of times before they got to work. The Girl at the first turn was nicely ahead, but at this point her driver noticed that she seemed to be giv ing out, and let her head loose. She kept staggering for an eighth of a mile, and at the quarter pole fell and died instantly without a struggle. She fell very easily, with her shoulder against a fence. The incident ex cited a great deal of sympathy, as the mare was a great favorite, and had been the chief attraction for the races to-day, The bund played a funeral dirge as soon as her death was made known. She was owned by Wm. Lovell, of New York, and wns valued at 825,000, which sum had been offered for her last week. She was thirteen years old.
