TIIK JOURNAL KUGKMC GRAN BERRY, Editor Why Is U not Sold I The people have o long Wkud for <he'Governor to off-r the North un-1 South Railroad for mile that llv are bogitininffTn-doubt tlmt tow will *Wi* Ho ao. It "ha* Wen .nggeafsd that hu is afraid of offi-rimr it, for fear that he might uot find a purchaser; but this cannot i> the case, aa ho haa been informed that tiie road, under the terma of the hi!!, would u-e: i h ready hale. We have boeu tie formed that there nee atohvidtiahi outside the company whe are per fectly able to make tire bond, and are anxious to put m a led for the road. The road at this lime ia not paving expense*, and we have been informed thul the'Governor wilt uot •flow it to iucUr any iudebtedneaa •gainst fhe State, heoce we may aoon •OK poet to are the traiue over it atop, unless there is a change. We have heard it aunnised that Governor Smith, from a policy move, will take no action in regard to the tale of it, leaving it for hi* successor to diapoae of. but we are hardly prepared to be lieve this. The at< ok hold era, aa well a* the peoide, are anxious to know what is to become of the road, and, nuitrs the Governor makes some dis position of it, it is uot more than ia due them for him to let them know wi-at hia iuten lions are in regard to it. Examination at Warerly Hall. We bad the pleasure of attending the cloning exercise* of the aohoul ni Wavcrly Hill lust Friday. The crowd which assembled to witness the exercise* wan the laigont we have aen on uch an ocoaaion in a long lime. The house traa no filled that we erer unable to Hud stamling room, hence we were unable to hear any of the recitation*. We hare un- Ueratood they all did well. At the night exhibition we met with the same late, and oould not eveu get •landing room. We were present *t the dinner table, and here, ever) body found a place, but were not able to dnd a place for all the good thing* <theee people at Wavcrly Hall are *o •oheracteriNlio in getting np.

'Where w* one feature that marred Vlae ftletuuire of the occaion, and we take the liberty of calling th aiteu ien of the young folk* to it. Wo mean the inoeMant chattering going n in the rear of the congregation. The coiifuaion wa* great that Prof. Calhoun felt the moea.ity of threatening to done the exercise* if continued. Thia i* very wrong in. d.ed, and in fact wae exceedingly thoughtleaH and unkind toward ll:e patrons who have paid their money lor the schooling of their children, and were anxiou* to *e> with what rrault. It showed no reject for teacher, pupil, or patron, and it would Vm> well that those who behave iu auch an indecorous manner should remain at home. Mr. Calhoun has a vei y large rchool, and ia quite popular w i.h the people there aa a uaoher. 'IV Herald, In di*oussing lh Preaidemial question, aav* a* the ctnvauM now stand*, Oonkling leads.

Tho aacr ti nis too broad to bo handled ns a plaything, and adds nothing in any way we may view it, to the Demo cratic party Ono of our exchangee goea far enough to say : “There are tboso in Georgia who would jump at tho chance to vote for Mullock for Gov ernor—the matt who came within an ace of bankrupting the State, and would steal the .Stone Mountain il he could utilixe il in any way.’’ Now if that journal knows that to be the case, by does it not open the “tin b<>x” and till who the men are? Whew it refuse* to do so, it is playing false to its country, false to ita party, amt cannot be considered a trust-worthy journal by the Demo cratic purt v. If it do l -* not know it, thou il is sheer loily, and worse than folly, to make swell a statement. The time lias come when it behooves us tiot to ninke a statement, that is damaging to the Democratic party, unless it be true, and •we can sus tain the truth of a with proof. Let us stop this wild speculation and deal more aitli facts, ami no matter w horn it hints, lot us bring to light “tricks thnt aro dark” when ever mi opportunity offers. Among Our Kxcliungcft.

But beware! There arc surely breaker* ahead. They who wa'cli the night-sign* see them dimly through the daiknoas; hear their hun gry r<ar; and know their grasp ia swift destruction. You are placed here in he form of your Maker to perform amble work, hut alas! how fr short have yon fallen of your Muster's commands. Vfbat have you done? What are you doing now ? lii one respect, literally noth ing. Your wive* are cooking, milk ing, scrubbing, and doing drugery of all kinds from morning till night; then sitting up until ten o’clock, or perhaps the silent hour of midnight, r tyi'g her nccdlo and fashioning gar merits for the little ones so snugly lucked away to sleep, while the hus band* are tying down taking their ease or poring over the latest paper, never dreaming to offer his strong, but indolent srin to lighten her du ties during tho toilsome day. Re member, husbands, that a woman will carry the weight of an unkind word, or a single act of coldness, or neglect, a a daily piercing arrow, down to her grave. Then beware how you speak to the confiding, olingiug creature, whose world is in her home, and Whose life is in the light of yottr love, and whom you have solemnly vowed to lovo and cherish. IJut the above is a mere nothing in comparison to something else you yon mo doing. And what, do you sav, are we doing of such grave tnis dameanor? It is soon told. Your love of the vunfi cup. Ah 1 ye*, you love to linger long with thi* boon companion; nnd with eye* wilfully shut to danger, and careless, reck- Ics* steps, you are fast approaching a frightlul precipice, which, when your feel alip over, and your frail bark en counter* the wild .rock* below, the col ision will be merciless. Oh ! stop in your perilous career before, it is too late to turn back. Think liovr many loving hearts are being crushed by your condtie'.

Number-of times hive.yon been entrodod to stop, but you seem to take a stubborn pleasure in niak ing what yon know will rob your fellow-man of all that i- noble in hi nature, and render his home the abode of grief and nii-erv Sons, cense from such a course before your mother goes down to her grave w ith the eon viclion that tho sn whom she ten derly loVed, nnd expected to bo n strong support in her declining diy-, i’e-pised her love and counsel.
