AVe deem it not amiss at the close of the first six months of onr existence in the news pnj>er world, to give our patrons and sub scribers, as well as the balance of mankind, some statement as to how we have progress ed and how we hope to succeed in the future, by (he aid of friends and our own efforts. We take great pleasure in announcing that upon looking into the condition of affairs in Tiik Forest News office, that the paper is in a healthy condition, and is paying expenses, notwithstanding the difficulties under which the enterprise started, and the many disad vantages under which we labor—such as re moteness from railroad communication, the want of general mail facilities in nearly all portions of the county, and the great scarcity of money, which is, and has been ever since the establishment of this paper, so fearfully affecting every individual as well as ever}' business concern in the land. The success attained encourages the management of the enterprise to renewed efforts to merit still more, the esteem and patronage of the local and general reading public. It was thought by wise and experienced men to be a hazard ous undertaking to begin t he publication of a newspaper in the county when oui‘3 started ; and, doubtless, there are those now who have no faith in the permanency of the paper; but we have no hesitation in proclaiming that we mean to make it a grand success by pursuing that course which will result in the greatest possible good for the interest of each and every portion of Jackson county; and we ftope ere long, with now and much better mail facilities—now secured—to be able to send The Fokest News into every settlement and comnnmity—yea, into almost every family in the county. We did not set. in to stop—but .started to keep going; and we shall press forward and surmount difficulties until vic tory, redounding in great good to tire whole people, shall perch upon our banners and erown our efforts. No spasmodic effort has been made in or der to attain our present success ; no special effort made ; but we have attained our pres ent satisfactory status by almost impercepti ble steps. Our subscription list has been gradually increased* until we number some five hundred goo 1 paying subscribers, and if we only had direct mail routes to Harmony Grove, Maysville, and the Jack Randolph District, and one through Chandler’s District and Santa Fee, and a Post-Office at Clarks borough. wc could double our present number, in our judgment, by the time the paper is a year old. Some of these facilities we are sure to have before a great while, and may we not hope, by well directed efforts, to attain all this and more besides—which now seems impracticable. We desire to return thanks to numerous friends in various localities for the interest manifested in the welfare of the paper. Who ever speaks a good word in behalf of the en terprise does a good deed, and is aiding in the public weal; for the aim and effort is, and shall be. to build up our magnificent county, and all the material, moral and social inter ests of her people. For this we are striving honestly and energetically, and wc hope and confidently expect the assistance of all our fellow-citizens. Our advertising patronage is gradually increasing, and with increasing cir culation, may be expected to double soon. AVe endeavor to be reasonable with adver tisers. and trust to share our part with the neighboring press. Our Job office is now well arranged for getting up most work usu ally done in a country office. And now what do we need ? Why. a host of friends; good, active friends, to take, pay for, and read the News, and persuade all their friends to go and do likewise. Let us have them, and we insure that the cit izens of Jackson can boast that in addition to having a county unsur passed in the State for strength and fertility of soil, magnificent water-powers, fine stock, good, well-to-do out-of-debt honest fanners and working men. numerous churches, and good schools in every community—that they will have the best county newspaper publish ed in Georgia, though it may eininate from the midst of the forest. Don't hesitate, friends, but come right up and aid in the work, and a little help from all will do great good. Let every one who has not paid his dues, step right up to the Captain's office and perform that duty at once. The year is drawing to a close, and money is needed to pay for labor and material. The pa3’ment of small bills insures the payment of large ones. Two dol lars.will pay lots of debts in a short while, if you will only set it agoing. Respectfully submitted, Wiley C. llowakd, Chairman Executive Committee. it is said the late Vice-President drank no intoxicating liquors; but he was a great eater, and this intemperateness brought on apoplexy, of which he died. Right here a nice quest ion presents itself, and that is, which is worse on the constitution, or will produce death soonest, intemperance in liquor drink ing or intemperance in eating ? t.FTVood wanted at the News office. North Georgia Methodist Conference. This body convened in Griffin on the Ist inst. Bishop Keener presiding. Rev. John W. lleidt, the Secretary for many years, was unanimously re-elected. The following members were elected his assistants: J. 11. Baxter, Josiah Lewis, Thomas Seals and W. I*. Lovcjoy. We do not suppose that it is expected of a county paper to go into anything like full details of the action of this or any kindred assembly, Indeed, from what we have seen of the proceedings —daily—during the ses sion, there was nothing more transacted than the usual routine business—nothing of extra ordinary importance, we mean. From our exchanges we glean the following items of general interest to the denomination and the public, perhaps: The names of superannuated preachers wore called and their characters passed. Revs. W. A. Florence. Miles W. Arnold, Miller 11. White, and Richard J. Harwell were placed upon the effective list. Six were admitted on trial into the Con ference —among them Wm. 1). Anderson, a lawyer of promince from Marietta. Rev. Athens G. Ilaygood has been elected President of Emory College, in place of Dr. (). L. Smith, resigned, and l)r. Smith was se lected to the Latin Professorship. While Conference was in session, Rev. Joshua Parker died in Atlanta, of consump tion. J. W. Burke & Cos. reported the profits of the Southern Christian, Advocate to be $1,700. The following local preachers were elected to deacon’s orders: N. C. Glenn, A. C. Da vidson, 1). L. Parish, L. J Reid, G. W. Moore, J. J. Mithven, W. J. Timmons, W. S. Lester. Joseph T. Cromwell was received from the Methodist Protestant Church and Rev. Wm. Chapman f;om the Missionary Baptist Church. After an impressive address by the Bishop the following ministers who had been serving two years in the Conference were admitted into full connection : W. T. Laine, George W. Thomas, J. W. Watkins, W, T. Yar brough. W. R. Foote, Jr., J. 1). Gray. G. E. Bonner, W. AV. Lampkin and J. 11. Bentley. Quite a lengthy list of local preachers were elected to deacon and elders’ orders. There are between 400 and 500 in this Con ference, some of whom are able preachers and efficient helpers to the itinerant minis ters. • Dr. W. J. Scott was granted a super annuated relation. llis health has failed during the past year. Rev. Ben. J. Johnson, who broke his leg by a fall from his buggy, in the early part of the year, was reported as in a dying con dition. A purse of $l3O was raised for him in the Conference and forwarded to him. Mr. El am Christian, of the Sparta Times : and Phinter. leaves his tripod and enters the itinerancy. Sparta was selected as the place of rhe next annual meeting. The Atlanta appoint ments remain unchanged for the ensuing year. The following are some of the leading changes: Decatur, Rev J A Reynolds; Covington, Rev It W Branham ; Oxford, Rev A G Ilaygood; Edgewood, Rev AY M Crumley ; Social Circle, Rev W A Florence ; Xorcross, Rev W T Laine ; Eatonton, Rev W I) Anderson. In addition to the above, anew Circuit called Gillsville” has been established by taking two churches—Holly Springs and Wilson's—from Jefferson Circuit and adding thereto Lebanon, in Banks, and Mt. Bethel, in Hall county. It will be seen this new “ work" is presided over by Rev. Mr. Mash burn. Sr. We had hoped to give the entire list of appointments in this issue of the News, but right here the interminable and never-ending subject, “ want of mail facili ties," comes in the way, and we shall proba bly not be able to do so. To W. A. Farris we arc indebted for a list of the two following Districts : Elbekton Dist. —A. G. Worley, P. E.— Elbert-on C't, James M. Dickey ; Elbert C't, C. A.

IdF’Thc Washington correspondent of the Augusta Chronicle thus speaks of the Geor gia delegation : It is perhaps the best from the south and is conceded to be equal to that sent to Wash ington this winter by any state in the union. They are the recipients of much flattering at tention. The utmost harmony seems to pre vail among the Georgia members, and there is no likelihood that Georgia's voice will lack potentiality from a want of a hearty unani mity among her representatives. Mr. Ste phen’s absence is much regretted, and there are many and anxious inquiries concerning the health of this veteran statesman and po litical statician. Mr. Hill's reputation has given him a welcome almost unprecedented in its cordiality. Col. Ilartridge’s reputation has also preceded him and he will be most cordially received. Dr. Felton will co-operate heartily with the democratic majority. Messrs. Harris, Cook and Blount, of the old delegation, are hero, and are much commended b}' their associates in previous congresses for discre tion and fidelity in the discharge of their du ties. kdp'The mystery concerning the recent na val preparations is not entirely removed. The orders which were first issued do not seem to have been fully countermanded. At all events, according to Washington telegrams, orders were issued on Tuesday at the Navy Department, in great secrecy, for the fitting up of five iron-clads. This makes a total of twelve iron-clads which, within three weeks, have been ready for active service, and em braces nearly all the available iron-clads. FROM WASHINGTON. Washington, December 4. —The Demo cratic caucus met in the Chamber of Repre sentatives at 2 o’clock. Considerable time was spent in acquaintance making. A few minutes before 4 o'clock the caucus was call ed to order by Hon. Fernando Wood, of New York, who proposed Hon. L. Q. C. Lamar, of Mississippi, for the chair, which was unani mously sustained. Mr. Hollman, of Ind., proposed Mr. Ban ning. of Ohio, as Secretary. Passed. On taking the chair, Mr. Lamar made an able and most admirable address to bis broth er Democrats in Congress. After which the balloting for Speaker commenced. Mr. Kerr was nominated Speaker by the caucus. Ist ballot: Kerr, 71; Randall, 50 ; Cox, 31. Second ballot: Kerr, 77 ; Randall, 63; Cox, 21; Saylor, 1. Third ballot: Kerr, 00; Randall, 63; Cox, 7; Saylor, 1. Dur ing the morning Mr. Wood announced him self in favor of Kerr, and on the third ballot Mr. Cox asked his friends to support the suc cessful candidate. Mr. Randall said : Mr. Chairman, let the wish of the majority be the voice of all from this moment. The differences among our selves must be at an end, and thus present ing a united front to our adversaries. Our mission on this floor must be, as far as we are able, to restore the government to its consti tutional purposes, and to expose the corrup tions of the administration. A word more of a personal character to those around who have steadily supported me, they have lost their choice, bntjhave gained a life-long friend. I now move that the nomination of Michael C. Kerr be made unanimous. Washington. December s. —Fourth ballot for Clerk, Adams, 47 ; Crittenden, 46 ; Tyler, 7; Shoeber. 10; Banks, 22; Dußosc, 16; Archer, 7 ; Whitehead, 7. Adams is nominated. Thompson, of Ohio, Sergeant-at-Arms; 11. F. Fitzhugh, of Texas, Door-Keeper. Jos. Stewart, of Va., Postmaster; Rev. J. L. Townsend, Episcopalian, of Washington, Chaplain. Washington, December 6.—F. A. Moore was appointed Door-Keeper of the Reporters Gallery of the Senate. llol^e.—Mr. Kerr’s speech was as follows : Gentlemen of the House of Represen tatives : lam truly gratified for the honor you have conferred in calling me to this ex alted station. I profoundly appreciate the importance and delicacy of its duties. I shall doubtless many times need your patient in dulgence. I pray that you will grant it, and with nothing but kindly feeling toward every member of the House, I promise that in my official acts I will divest myself, to the ut most of my ability, of all personal bias, and observe complete fairness and impartiality towards all, and towards all the great and diversified interests of our country represent ed in this House. Two hundred and eighty present. In swear ing in members. Messrs. Morey, of Louisiana, and Goode, of Virginia, were asked to stand aside, as their seats were contested. A mo tion to refer Morey’s credentials, after a warm debate, failed, and he was sworn in. Mr. Goode, after a short discussion, was also sworn in. Lamar offered a resolution declaring the following officers of the House : Clerk—Geo. W. Adams, of Kentucky. Sergeant-at-Arms—John G. Thompson, of Ohio. Door-Keeper—Lafayette A. Fitzhugh, of Texas. Postmaster—Jas. M. Stewart, of Virginia. Chaplain—Rev. J. L. Townsend, of the District of Columbia. Adopted. After appointing a committee to wait on the President and ordering the drawing for seats to-morrow at 1 o'clock, House adjourn ed. Washington, 1). C., Dec. 6. Senate. — The Senate was called to order, Mr. Ferry occupying the Chair. House. —McPherson, Clerk, called the House to order. McEnery’s certificates were read and ( laid aside. The Mississippi delegation was received on the credentials signed by the Lieutenant- Governor. The call of the roll is progressing, and the crowd in attendance is large. The Senate adopted the usual resolutions to notify the President and House of Repre sentatives that a quorum of the Senate had assembled and was ready for business, and then adjourned, after a statement by Anthony that it was not probable that the message could be received to-day. THE FORTY-FOURTH CONGRESS. The new House (sa} r s the Atlanta Consti tution,) consists of 21)2 representatives, and nine territorial delegates, making a total of 301, which is a goodsized audience any where. These are politically divided into 177 democrats, 101 republicans, 5 liberal republicans, four independent republicans, four independent reformers, and one va cancy—the fourth Tennessee district, which will elcet Mr. Riddle, a democrat on the 15th of this month. These figures give the democrats at present fifty three majority over all. They do not however fairly repre sent the conservative majority in the new house, as nearly a dozen of the liberals and reformers will act with the democratic party. The analysis is as severe a one as can be made against the democratic party, coming as it does from the New York Tribune. Dr. Felton is undoubtedly one of the Tribune's “independent reformers,” and he will be as good a democrat as anybody. But a majori ty of even fifty-three is satisfactory when it is remembered that the repulicau majority in the last house was 105. The senate contains forty-two republicans, twenty-nine democrats—a gain of ten—two independents, and the Louisiana vacancy. Putting the two bodies together, we have 367 members. Of this number 140 have served in previous congresses, while the remaining 176 are with a few exceptions, strangers in Washington. Most of the nftw. members are young men, and all but seven are natives of this country. GO of them have received a collegiate education, two of the members being graduates of our state university. Yale furnishes the highest number—six. A careful count shows that just twenty-six of the new members were in the Confederate armv, and that just twenty-six more were in the federal army. The pursuits of the 176 are thus given : lawyers, 122 ; merchants, 31 ; farmers, 6 ; physicians, 4 ; bankers, 3 - t editors. 2 ; college professors 2. All but six of the seventeen new senators are lawyers. fcdF’The forthcoming report of the Chief of the Secret Service of the Treasury Depart ment, will show that a larger number of coun terfeiters have been arrested and a greater quantity of counterfeit money and plates captured during the past year than ever be fore in any one year. STATE HEWS ITEMS. The municipal elections in Augusta and Atlanta resulted in favor of the Democrats. John S. .Means was Saturday commission ed justice of the peace for tlie 1206th district G. AL, of Banks county. “The Bright Side" is to be the title of the new paper which I)r. Gurley and Mr. Grady proposes publishing at Carnesville. AN e un derstand the first number will appear in a few days. Some of the citizens os C'uthbert are lux uriating on strawberries now maturing in their gardens. Think of gathering a basket of de licious berries in December, grown in open air. Brinkley, who is under sentence of death for killing his wife in Coweta county, and who has had two ditferent times set apart for a slack rope performance, has been again re spited—this time till the 31st March, 1876. AVe learn from an old and responsible cit izen that he has a horse which has become stone blind from epizootic. This is anew phase of the disease. —Madison Home Jour nal. Here is number thirty-one : The gin house of Messrs. Smith, Burton, Brand & Hammond, of Newton county, was burned on Tuesday night, together with sixty-one bales of cotton. The loss is estimated at over SIO,OOO. Here is the thirtieth : On the night of the 30th of November the gin-house, together with the grist and saw mills of Messrs. Ham mond & Smith, of AA'alton csunty, was burn, ed. The gin-house contained about fifty bales of cotton. J. 11. Braswell, of Norcross, was found dead in his bed last week, and the Lawrence ville Herald says he told a gentleman of that place recentty, that within two years he had swallowed nearly fourteen hundred gallons of whiskey—about two gallons per day. The Hon. J. AY. Renfroe, of AVasliington county, has been appointed State Treasurer by Gov. Smith, in place of Col. Jack Jones, removed. He has given bond and entered upon the discharge of his duties. He will hold the place until a Treasurer shall be elected by the Legislature. The Arkwright Cotton Factory earned for the month of November SBOO net, and if there were 4,000 spindles more, $2,000 per month, even at the present low prices of yearns, could be realized. The present earnings are at the rate of about 0 per cent, on the capital stock. — Sav. News, sth. Newnan Star : It is a remarkable fact that there is not a German or Jew engaged in bu siness of any character in Newnan, the onl} r place, we suppose, of its size and business on the continent that can say the same. AN r e cannot give any reason why it is, or should be so, for as a general thing they make good, substantial citizens, and the}' can proudly challenge the people to point to a Jewish widow uncared for or neglected ; to the Jew ish orphan forsaken or a burden to the com munity ; to the beggar asking alms of the public. AVhat other nation can say as much ? From a private dispatch from Atlanta, we learn that the Supreme court, on Saturday, dismissed the case of Tunis G. Campbell vs. State of Georgia. This affirms the decision of the Court below (the Mclntosh Superior Court), and Campbell will now have to serve the term in the penitentiary for which he was sentenced. This case is an entirely different one from the one which Farrow, Thomas and other Radical leaders are endeavoring to have moved to the United States Courts, so ns to have the “Governor of St. Catherine’s’’ on hand to raise a row in Mclntosh county at the ensuing elections.— Sav. News. sth. ♦ ♦ O * > -O MISCELLANEOUS NEWS PARAGRAPHS. Tweed’s Escape. “ Boss” Tweed, who, the reading public will remember has been in prison in New York for a good while—for swindling the city au thorities—made his escape the other day. The following is about the last version of how he made his exit: — New York, Dec. 6.—lnspector Dilkes be lieves that Tweed is on the ocean. There is good reason to believe that Tweed made his escape many hours before it was reported. It is generally believed that AYarden Dunham and Keeper Hagan were privy to his escape, and that Tweed embarked on some private craft on East river, in which he is now sail ing for foreign parts. Tweed’s cases which were lip to-day, were postponed. BURNED TO DEATH. Montreal, December s.—On Saturday Rev. Father Murphy, editor of the True Witness, gave his famous lecture on “Papal Infallibili ty,” and with Rev. Father Lynch, a talented young priest, lately from Ireland, drove out to Back river, seven miles from Montreal, and stopped at La Jeanesse Hotel. At night after retiring a fire broke out in the hotel and Fathers Murphy and Lynch and Madame Champagne, a lady sleeping on the third flat, were burned to death. SPAIN AND TIIE UNITED STATES. Madrid, December 5. —Air. Cushing, the United States Alinister, has had a long con ference with Senor Collantes, the new Minis ister of Foreign Affairs. It is understood that the negotiations continue to be satis factory. A WIFE DECAPITATED. Cleveland, December 4.—An enraged Englishman named IVm. Aiden cut off his wife’s head with an axe, and mortally wound ed his stepdaughter and a woman who came to her assistance, with a hammer. NOMINATION. Nashville, December 4.—The Democrats of the Fourth District have nominated 11. F. Kiddle for Congress. The Joiinson-Imboden Affair.—Gen eral Imboden lias not yet arrived in Rich mond, but his friends in that city say that he will certainly resent the attempt to cowhide him which was made by General Bradley T. Johnson, and it is feared that the parties will fight, notwithstanding the fact that they have been bound over to keep the peace in the sum of SI,OOO each. Four Vice Presidents have died in office. These were George Clinton, who died in 1814; William R. King, who died in 1853, and Henry Wilson. Daniel I). Tompkins, whose term as Vice President expired in 1825, died the same year. “II,” in the Southern Christian Advocate , thinks the people of Georgia should count themselves happy in their present Supreme Court, lie expresses the hope “that we may always have a Supreme Court worthy to be compared with the eminent men who now sit upon the bench.
