The V indicator prays so earnestly for the happiness of Ncwupnper Borrwn There are certain classes of people tv ho make it a rule never to subscribo for a newspaper, but who aro ihe very ones to find fault with the course of the editor. Now, we never wished any one any harm, but hve this to say in regard to these tel lows : May your egg he rotton at break fkst, your meat spoil before dinner, ami you go suppcrlcss to bed. May your wife be cross, your scr ▼cntgirl prudish, and jour neighbors lenco high. May your dreams be varied be tween the embrace of crooodiles and tlie acting back step of a mule. May you have steel filings in your eyes and be obliged to use chesnut burs for eye stones. May the ghost of starving editors and printer’ devils, gaunt, lean and hungry haunt you constantly. May your boots squeak and run down at the heel, and pinch your corns terribly. May your horse be balky,your cow give sour milk,your children get lousy, and yonr pigs have the scurvy. May your creditors never let up on you, your friends be sent to the in sane asylum, your enemies prosper. May yout wife run off with a cir cus; your business to goruiu.and you go to Chicago. Savnnah News: We learn that memorial services m honor of the late Rev, E II Myers, the esteemed ]>astor of Trinity Methodist Church, will be held in that edifice on Sun day afternoon next. Participation in this mournful tribuie to the memory of a good Christian, learned man and beloved pastor, who was a mar tyr to sacred duty, will, we under stand, not be confined to the denom ination to which he was an able ad vocate and zealous member, but will include the clergymen and members of all the Protestant churches in the city. The occasion will be one of deep interest, and will attract a large attendance of the admirers and friends of the deceased. Detroit Free press: An eight-year old hoy was trotting up 'Woodward avenue yesterday, when a'snow-hall struck on the ear and laid him od. He uttered a few dismal howls and started off, but a gentleman halted him and asked: “Why don't you go over and lick that boy?” ‘‘l hain’t big urnuff,' ‘ was the re piiy- “But won’t you do anything at all?“ “Not now. I know who he is, and I’ll fix the hull iamily. His father is going to run for Congress some time, and my father will go on the Return ing Board and count him into the middle of last week.’’ —We learn from the Home Jour nal that the Babtist Conference at Greensboro, bi ■ lecidcd that it is against the rules of the Babtist Church to dance. A correspondent of the World, af ter reviewing the Presidential ques tion in all its aspects, says: “Such a ■truggle—when one candidate relies on his own law books,the partisans of the other reverse the decision of the Supreme Court of a sovereign State by the corporal of the guard can have but Cne end. In such a sturggle, essentially ft waiting race, in which time, patience and far reaching skill may be safely to work, their perfe ct work, those who know best the President-elect know he lias no superior.” A gentleman had five daughters The first married a man by the name of Poor, the second a Mr. Little, the third a Mr. Short, the fourth a Mr. Brown, and the fifth a Mr. Hogg. At tae wedding ceremony of the lat ter, the old gentleman said to the gvests; “I have great pains to educate my daughters, so that they may * act well their part in life, and, from their advantages and improvement, I had fondly hoped that they would do hon or to the whole family and now I find that all my pains, care and ed ucation have amounted to nothing more than a Poor, Little, Short, Brown Hog g.—Western Rural.

In addition to the Presidential election, the people in Georgia and Florida will elect new State governments. In Florida tho campaign promises to be unusually vigorous, and the e is a probability that for the first time since the war the people of that Radical-ridden State will elect a Democratic State government. In these campaigns the people of t lie South .are deeply interested: and every intelligent citizen, who has the welfare of his Country and his section at heart, should acquaint himself with every and tail of the great work of redemption aud reform lha is now going on. To this end he should subscribe to and assist in circulating the Savannah Morning News, an independent Democratic newspaper, of pronounc ed opinions and fearless in their expression; a paper that is recognized everywhere as tnc best daily in the South. Its editorial department is vigorous, tlmughttul, and jonsistciit, while its news and local departments are marvels of in dustry and completeness. Its department of Georgia and Florida affairs is not confined to a mere bairen summary of events transpiring in those States, but is enlivened by comment at once apt, tiuie-'y, and racy. The ample resources of the establishment will be devoted to furnishing the readers of the MORNING NEWS with the latest intelligence from all parts of the world, through the press dispatches, special tel egrams, and by means of special correspondence; and through tbeso agencies the paper will be the earliest chronicler of every noteworthy inci dent of the political campaign of 187 C. sriMCRiPTioN : Daily, 1 year SIO,OO “ 6 months 5,00 “ 3 months 2,50 Tri-Weekly, 1 year 6,0n 44 6 months .. 3,00 44 3 months .. 1,50 W eekly, 1 year 2,00 44 6 months..rTT. 1,00 41 3 months ,5o Specimen copies sent free on receipt of 5 eta. can be sent by P *st Office Order, Registered Letter, or Express, at our risk.

Its usefulness has been circumscribed by a meagre patronago and a distrust of its success. Owing to the want of means, ll.claims of its proprietor to make it a first -e.Uss journal im sire, typographical excellence, editorial completeness and exto it of influence, have been ~aitially unsuccessful, lie ha* however an abiding faith in the realization of his hopes and the acepinplishni-nt of his aims, and ha? girded his loins, anew for the struggle fo,- the laudable cause in which he ha* enlisted. He appeals tothe public-spirited citizen iof Marion, Chattahoochee, Itllbot, Taylor, Schley, Sumter, Webster, Stewart andJMuscogee counties to assist him by subscriptions and adyeilisciuents, in his t-florU to build up a substan ial ami creditable newspaper in this section, which has been so much in need ol an enterprise ot i liis character. However hum’.do a country newspaper may be, it is of incalnlable value to its section, in the dissemination of knowledge and sound principles, stimulation of progress and industry and promo tion of virtue and morality, if conducted on rile side of t ight and moral .integrity. Then, fellow-citizens, extendjo the Argus the aid asked, and in return the editor pledges himself t,<> use Ids utmost energy, time and labor to make it a ue fttl, progressive, well informed, newsy, readible.
