What the Governor of N. Carolina
SAID TO THE GOVERNOR OF S. CAROLINA.
—The onty amusing thing connected with the

ernor.” said Vance, “that we can bet on old
Georg}'; they are a mighty good people, es
pecially in the northern part of the State ; all
that section of the State was settled by peo
ple who came originally from North Carolina.”

A Sensible Colt.— Mr. Black, of Jackson

Renovation, 3iol l*ro*trntion.
Did any enfeebled human being ever become
strong under the operation of powerful cathartics
orsalivants? It is sometimes necessary to regu
late the bowels, but that cannot be done by active
purgation, which exhausts the vital forces and
serves no good purpose whatever. The only true
way to promote health and vigor, which are essen
tial to regularit3' ie or ©* ,l i c functions, is to
invigorate, discipline and purify the S3'stem at the
same time. The extraordinary eflicacy of
ter's Stomach Bitters, in cases of debility or irre
gularity of the organs of digestion, assimilation,
secretion and discharge, is universally admitted.
Appetite, good dtgodion, a regular habit of body,
active circulation of the blood, and purity of all
the animal fluids are induced by this superb tonic
and corrective. It has no equals, moreover, as a
preventive of chills and fever, and other types of
tnalariai disease. To emigrants and travelers it
is particularly serviceable as a medicinal safe
guard.
Where Place Our Capital?
While we have, all the time, favored Atlan- !
taas the scat of government, we have tried
to give to our readers what we believed to be 1
the leading facts on both sides, either from
correspondence or from the columns of our
exchanges.
We will here present a short summary of
what we conceive to be. the chief arguments
, °
on both sides. The friends of
MILLEDGEVILLE
Contend that she lias a vested right to the
Capital, which was takcn’from her by Radical
authority, and carried to Atlanta, without
consulting her rights or the wishes of the
people; that the people have never ratified
the removal—as a vast portion of the intelli
gent voters were disfranchised when the Con
stitution of '6B was submitted for ratification.
They also say that tile removal cost the State
a great deal of money, for which the latter
now, has nothing to show. They also say.
that since the removal, the governmental
expenses have been enormous and will con
tinue as long as the Capital stays in Atlan
ta; that if it remains there we will have to
build anew State-house, when we have a good
one in Milledgeville; that, though Atlanta
promises to build as good a one, she cannot
do it; then, older men have a strong senti
ment for the “Old Halls of our fathers,” and
against the government started at Atlanta,
and, run, at first, by “Rads.” “Scalawags”
and “Carpetbaggers.” This last, strange as
it may seem, will carry more intelligent votes
than all the rest put together ! The friends of
ATLANTA
Say that Milledgeville never lmd an}* legal,
vested right; that such a claim is absurd;
that she forfeited all moral right when she
refused to entertain the representatives of the
people ; that whether there were irregularities
in that Convention or not, we submitted to
its action; we received and observed its
edicts as law, till now, and thus the people
have endorsed the removal ; that the Demo
crats have time and again recognized not
only the general Constitution, but this partic
ular part; that Atlanta did not vote for the
removal, and had nothing to do with the loss
of money to the State, but., on the contrary,
when the people, or authorities, forced the
Capital on her, without her vote, she furnish
ed the house for the State to make her laws
for a time, and when the State bought a house,
Atlanta paid a large part of the price.
Atlanta’s friends also say, that if the Cap
ital is moved again, the State must lose hea
vily. First, by loss of Opera House in At
lanta. Second, a large portion of her money
in the Governor’s mansion. Third, by ne
cessary repairs of buildings in Milledgeville.
That Atlanta has a better vested right, if
such could exist, than Milledgeville ; but she
is willing to ignore all past claims and put.
the two places on their merits now, as should
le done : and to put herself on the same plat
form with Milledgeville, she agrees not only
to ignore the Capitol she has, but she agrees
to give the ground and put up as good a
building as that now in Milledgeville, or give
the money, to be added to a State fund to
put up a suitable building for all time, as the
one in Milledgeville will not nearly meet the
present needs, much less for the future.
Again, Atlanta is the Commercial Metro
polis. social and political centre now—
not only of the State, but of the South, and
she ought to be the State Capital; that she
is the centre of convenience and comfort —
being accessible and furnishing more and
better accommodations for Assembly and
visitors than Milledgeville can possibly com
mand ; that economy is immense y in her fa
vor, as the hotels, &c., in Milledgeville would
be needed for only about two months in 24,
they must charge enormous prices for that
time, and furnishes no good market for home
use or for visitors to buy cheap goods while
there, and compensate, in part, the cost of
board, &c.
Again, the value of the State Railroad
would be reduced by taking the Capital from
Atlanta, and thereby entail another loss on
the State, which could not be repaired in
Milledgeville. Again, Atlanta had nothing
to do with the corrupt legislation had soon
after the removal, and it is unjust to charge
her with that, and not charge Milledgeville
wiih the greater corruptions before the remo
val. The cities around Milledgeville fur
nished the bad men who did that bad work ;
not one came from Atlanta ! ! As to the sen
timent" !! Atlanta professes to he as true a
child of Georgia as Milledgeville or any oth
er oity. She is not so old, but she has done
far greater honor and service to her State.—
If the early memories of the “ Halls” are to
control people, why not move the U. S. Capi
tal from Washington City back to Philadel
phia ?
We think that no fair mind can deny that
Atlanta offers us immensely the greater ad
vantages, hence nearly all the leading minds
in Georgia favor her as our Capital; ami all
able lawyers assure us that she can and will
comply with her proposal to build anew Cap
itol.
Editorial Change.
The Athens Georgian lias changed hands
—the issues (tri-weekly and weekly) received
on Wednesday last, containing the “valedic
tory” of our esteemed friend, Capt. H. H.
Carlton, and the “salutatory” of Mr. 11. F.
Combs, who succeeds Capt. Carlton. Mr.
Combs is no novice in the newspaper busi
ness, and we, as a friend to the Georgian and
to Athens, bespeak for him a courteous con
sideration by all the patrons of the paper,
under its late management.
Congress.
The House is still discussing the Arin3 T
Bill, or rather the amendments attached to it
by the Senate. Most of the amendments
have now been concurred in, and, it is likely
the bill will soon pass both houses.
The Cavalry regiments are allowed to re
cruit up to one hundred, and to be kept as
near that as practicable ; but the whole army
must never be raised above 25,000 men. Mr.
Stephens introduced a bill to provide for the
gradual resumption of specie payment.
OUR BELL AT the FRONT.
On the bill to repeal the Resumption Act,
Mr. Bell from the 9th Ga. Dist., led the de
bate. and Mr. Stephens said that Mr. B.
made the best speech of the session. Hur
rah ! for our man !
Dr. Felton also took an active part, and
delivered a powerful and telling argument.
Public Address.
lion. A. D, Candler, of Ilall, candidate for
Senator from the 33d District, will address
the citizens of Jackson, at the Court-House,
Saturday, (to-day,) twenty-fourth instant.
Thanksgiving Day, 29th,
According to agreement among the business
men of Jefferson, will be duly observed;
hence the business houses will be closed next
Thursday.
At Last—Kars Captured 1
The Russians entered Kars on the 18th
inst., having stormed the place the night
previous. The fight lasted 12 hours, com
mencing at 8, P. M., on the 17th, and ending
at 8, A. M., the 18th. This isoneof the most
remarkable feats of modern war. Kars is
located on lofty, precipitous rocks; and 15,-
COO Russians clambered up those rocks and
captured some of the strongest defenses in
the world, defended by 15,000 desperate
Turks who had won many a battle !! The
Russians lost 2,700, and the Turks 5,000,
besides 10,000 prisoners. Many guns and a
large amount of military stores fell into the
hands of the Russians. The inhabitants of
the town were not plundered. The Sultan
was discussing terms of peace before, we
hope he will urge them now. No important
changes about Plevna.
“Original Essays.”
Very dreary, tame, common place and
monotonous, are the so-called “ original es
says” with which, usually, audiences are
afflicted at Female College Commencements.
There is apparently a tremendous striving af-
I ter the unreachable, and an artifice of style
the trickery of which is so transparent as to
land the most ambitious and sunward fflght
'ofthe young debutante into the quagmire of
| bathos.
Why do they not confine themselves to
themes concerning which they can express
an honest and outspoken opinion ? Even if
the theme, and its discussion, should be com
monplace, it would have the merit of being
the product of their own brain, and the ideas
put forth would not betray, as is now com
monly the case, stolen gleanings from the by
paths and hedges of the field of English litera
ture, or the hastily donated contribution of
some goodnatured and sedulously importuned
•* friend of the family.” A reform in this
silly and harmful method in the average
Female College commencement display is
essential. —Christian hidex.
Right Brother; exactly right. Yes, why
don’t these “graduates” give us a few “ideas’
on the “common-place” matters of every-day
life, as viewed by them from their collegiate
standpoint ; something suited to the sphere
in which they are to “act their parts” in fu
ture life ? the parlor, the kitchen, the laundry,
or even the nursery. A truly original produc
tion on any of these subjects would interest
most of the “average” audiences far more
than the hum drum “stolen gleanings from
the l>3'-paths and hedges of English litera
ture, or the hastily donated contributions of
some good-natured and sedulously importuned
friend of the family !”

THOROUGHLY BAPTIST—AND CHEAP.
B^”With a view of doing good, and placing The
INDEX in the hands of many not receiving it
now we propose to send
fiST’TiiE Index to new subscibcrs from this date
to January, 1870, for s2.no.
fiSuAVc will send The Index, postage paid, to
•January 1, 1870, and Godys's Lady's Magazine
for one year, for $4.90. Regular price of both
being SO. 40.
will send The Index to January 1,
1870, and Demorest's Lady's Magazine for one
year, with either the beautiful chromos: “Home
Sweet Home,” or “The Old Oaken Bucket,” for
$4.7-5. These pictures are beautiful and will
adorn any home.
ftSST'Or, will send The Indpex to January TANARUS,
1870, and Peterson's Magazine for one year, with
a copy of the magnificent premium engraving,
“ The Angel of Christmas.” Size of picture 24
by 20 inches.
B£S“*()r will send The Index, to two or more,
new subscribers, when sent at the same time, to
January 1, 1870, at $2.50 per year, each.
The Christian Index and Baptist appeals
to the affections as well as to the interest of every
member of the great Baptist family in Georgia.
Every Baptist m the South feels a just pride in
his, or her, denominational paper, and should use
every possible means to induce non-subscribing
Baptists to take this, the best religious family
paper in the Southern States.
In size, mechanical execution, and complete
ness, it is unsurpassed. Its editorial staff is com
fosed of some of the most eminent writers in the
)enomination. It has a large corps of paid Con
tributors and Correspondents. It is the Denomina
tional Organ of Georgia Baptists, endorsed hy
their Conventions and urgently recommoneded to
the exclusive favor and patronage of the Denomi
nation in Georgia. Therefore, we urge anti earn
estly request every Baptist in Georgia to sub
scribe for The Index. Every Pastor should see
to it that his membership is supplied with the
paper. Evcr} r Baptist in Georgia sheuld r make it
nis duty to subscribe for and support the State
Organ of his Denomination.

VANTAGES
1. Asa Denominational Organ. In it arc found
discussed all topics and subjects vital to the
Christianity of the age, and especially to us as
Baptists. No paper evidences more wisdom in
discussing the “ signs of the times.” It docs not
sound the alarm after errorists have done their
work.
2. The Index contains all the latest Church
intelligence, revival and otherwise. All facts
pertaining to the progress and prosperity of our
Zion, that can he gathered from the press and
correspondence, are*to he found in its columns.| J
3. The Spirit of the Press of all Denomina
tions. touchiug subjects vital to church, society
and country, is carefully collated, so that you
may see at a glance what the great minds of the age
think, as to the subjects indicated, as well as of
those who edit and control the paper.
4. “ Our Pulpit ”is another important feature.
Each issue contains a carefully prepared sermon,
which, in itself, , is worth the subscription price of
the paper.
5. All information pertaining to Husbandry—
the laboring class, or Granges—is carcfnlly ma
nipulated for j'our benefit.

l
To The Public.
Having been requested by a number of
citizens of Georgia, to lay off ditches on their
bottoms after my plan, I submit the following
for the information of all concerned, to-wit:
I will lay off ditches at $25.00 per day—ss.oo
cash to pay travelling expenses—the balance
in a conditional note, payable Ist Nov. 1878.
In consideration I promise to more effectual
ly and permanently drain all bottom lands
than by any plan of ditching heretofore adopt
ed, with half the cost of the old plans. I
propose to make the land higher, drier and
richer ever} r freshet by catching the rich
sediments. My ditches will be so arranged
that the bottoms can be irrigated on any run
ning stream in time of drought. If I fail to
accomplish what I propose, said note shall be
null and void.
Where ten or more citizens of the State,
desire to adopt my plan of ditching, on noti
fying me of the fact, I will go to any part of
Georgia to serve them, where they reside con
venient to the railroad.
Washing away of upland remidied on the
same plan as that adopted for the bottoms—
at very little cost.
Editors of this State publishing this and
calling attention to it, will be served free of
charge, should I bc'called to their section of
the State.
Ministers of every denomination shall have
my services gratis in laying off their bottom
lands, when and where I visit their neighbor
hoods, on application being made to me.
