VALEDICTORY.
With this number of the F orest News, m v
short editorial career conies to a close, and I
now appear before its readers only to bid
them an affectionate farewell. Duties in
other fields of labor impel me to this course,
and while the action is wholly voluntary on
my part, the ties thus severed is a matter of
painful regret to me.
In my humble efforts to furnish a paper
that would be acceptable to its friends, I have
simply done the best I could do, under the
circumstances; and in those instances where
I have failed, a generous public will forgive
and forget. As there is no immediate issue
before the people, I have said but little about
politics, preferiug to labor in the field which
surround our own homes, and in which the
interests of their firesides are to be protect
ed. This is the field in which a vast amount
of work is yet to be done before we can pu
rify our polities, or in any way secure and
perpetuate the institutions inherited from ou r
forefathers. This is the field in which the
farmer, the teacher, and the mechanic la >or
and toil through the day, and at night bear
their sheaves home with them, laden with a
degree of success with which the Forest
News is not at all satisfied.
It would have bur farmers turn this fair
land into what God intended it to be—the
garden of the world and the granary of na
tions. It would have our teachers walk the
grand rounds of science and of literature with
a step that the most ambitious Roman, nor
the proudest Greek would call in question.—
It would have them sowing, that others might
reap—working and planting for those who
are. ages hence, to take their places—living
far beyond their time, and becoming immor
tal before the general resurrection, as did
Zeno in his Stoa Poecile, as Plato in the
classic shades of his Acrirksmy, and as Aris
totle amid the charming grounds of the Ly
ceum.
And it would have our mechanics so well
trained in art and applied science tfcat every
wheel which turns—that every spindle which
whirls, and that everything of prime neces
sity. which is used in the country, would be
made at home by our own sons and dawdi
* ©
ters, and that too, with as much durability
and elegance of finish as any that are made
by the highest skill and most determined
industry of those who have hitherto been
successful in all things which go to elevate
the human race and promote the happiness
of mankind the world over. And in doing
this it would teach our people to know that
their arms are as strong, and their native
brain-power as good as those who have mo
nopolized their commerce and lived and
grown rich at their expense.
It would have onr people know that it is
high time for them to shake off their depend
ence upon others, and learn to relv upon them
selves ; and that if well directed efforts were
made to do so, kingdoms and empires would
become as dependent upon them for a large
majority of the material resources that enter
into and build up the true greatness and pow
er of nations, as they' have, for generations
past., been dependent upon them for tobacco
and cotton.
And it would have them know Hint univer
sal education is the forerunner of all these
things, and the only means by which they can
he perpetuated—that money and time spent
in procuring it. is of the first importance to
any people—that having a nation to educate,
it is true policy to educate the gills first and
the hoys afterwards—that in the intelligence
and rcfinemcnUof the girls of to-day, lies tlir
glory of the boys of to-morrow—that in the
education of woman there is a work to accom
plish for the weal of man and the glory of
God, far more grand in its conception, and
glorious in its results than was ever achieved
by poet, statesman, or warrior—and that she
may do a work which will live and last and
shine, when the eloquence on which listening
Senates is heard no more, and when the war
rior’s wreath has faded away, and the clank
ing of his blood-stained sword is hushed in
the graves of dying millions.
Then, to do something for the public good
by advocating such measures, was the mis
sion of the Forest News during my short
career as editor, and I now turn it over to
those who will carry on the work with more
ability than I possess. And in thus announc
ing the transfer, I avail myself of the oppor
tunity to aak for the News that fostering care
and patronage which I feel warranted in say
ing its merits claim, and its importance as a
home paper justifies. Again I ask, that the
people sustain it, and that they sustain it
well.
For the kindness and many acts of cour
tesy extended to me by all those with whom I
have been in any way connected as editor, I
am profoundly thankful. Our associations
have been pleasant and agreeable, and where
all have been so uniformly respectful. I have
no names to mention, nor distinctions to
make.
To the editorial fraternity, to the readers
of the News, and to those invaluable friends
who have come to my assistance in various
ways, I owe a debt of gratitude that mere
thanks will not pay ; still, my friends, I thank
you, and when I say this, I say all that lean
say, but not all that I feel.
Respectfully, G. J. N. Wilson.
TO THE PUBLIC.
In assuming the Editorial management of
the Forest News, I have no professions to
make except one—that is, to make the News
acceptable to its readers; and to this end, I
shall strive in every legitimate way. The
policy of the paper shall he free and inde
pendent. and upon all occasions for the good
of the people. And in conclusion. I desire
and expect a hearty co-operation from all the
readers of the paper. Resp’ly,
Rob’t S. Howard.
The Political Horoscope for the Ninth Con
gressional District, as Cast by the Atlan
ta Constitution.
In the Ninth the campaign has already
opened. Dr. Carlton and Col. Speer are on
the war-path, and any one can imagine what
a serious matter it will be when they com
mence the campaign this early./*!
Col. Emory Speer will not go before the
nominating convention. lie will be the inde
pendent candidate on the reform platform.—
He is an accomplished speaker, and knows
what be is about.
Dr. 11. 11. Carlton, one of the best men in
the district—a good speaker and a fine schol
ar, will be before the convention. The doctor
is a strong democrat, wants organization, and
will countenance nothing short of it. lie
will make a successful race if nominated.
Col. 11. 1\ Bell, the present representative,
will be before the convention also. lie de
feated Col. Speer in the last race. His
friends say he can do it again. lie has made
a good record in the present congress, and is
a man of decided ability. The race before
the convention will he between these two
men. unless Col. Billup’s friends, of Madison,
decide to run him. If they do, no one can
tell which of the three will get the nomina
tion. It is said, however, that Col. Billups
has decided to allow the use of his name
before the legislature for the judgeship of Jus
circuit, and will not he in the congressional
race. If this is so, it simplifies matters very
much.
The Eastern Muddle.
Complications still surround and prevent
the Peace Congress from assembling. The
terms of the treaty between Russia and Tur
key have not yet been made public; and
Russia, so far, seems loth to submit to the
demands of England, that all the terms of
the-treaty be submitted for discussion by the
Powers. This is one of the troubles : anoth
er is, that England desires the union of all
the Greeks under one government, with the
capital located at Constantinople; this, of
course, Russia will not agree to. In the
meanwhile, Russian troops arc still massed
around Constantinople, ready, at a moment’s
notice, to enter that city—the British fleet
still encroaching—both ready to seize what
ever advantage they can. Both powers are
making extensive warlike preparations at
home, and the excitement is increasing in
England. Austria, at present, is not so much
in favor of an alliance with England. This
fact, with the further one, that Germany is
in favor of peace, may keep England from
declaring war at present; hut thereis.no
doubt, a crisis at hand, and the war cloud is
growing rapidly.
Shall we Relieve Atlanta from her Prom
ise to Build a Capitol?
This question is being freely discussed at
present, by the State press, and some think
that Atlanta’s promise was only a campaign
argument, and that Atlanta is not able to
build a Capitol suitable to the dignity of the
State.
We thought that this question was fully
settled at the ballot-box, last December, and
to re-open it now, without a hearing from the
people, would he unfair; besides, we have
so far, heard no complaint from Atlanta, and
we are sure that she will utter none, hut at
the proper time make her promise good and
not betray the confidence placed in her by
the people of Georgia. Therefore, we can
see no good reason, at this time, for discuss
ing—as wc think—a settled question.

U. S. District Court in Atlanta.
From a correspondent in Atlanta, we learn
that the U. S. Dist. and Circuit Courts are in
full blast, with a full attendance of parties,
witnesses and attorneys—a large number of
witnesses and parties being from the 9t,h Con
gressional District, and among them several
persons from Jackson count}'.
Our correspondent, who is a sensible and
discriminating man, thinks the prejudice in
the minds of some, against the Judge of the
U. S. Court, is without foundation, and that
his aim is to do justice to the accused as well
as the government. The Court will proba
bly adjourn about the 10th of April.

A sloMo(Twardrobe.
We have been allowed to inspect the most
extensive and elegant wardrobe ever made or
owned on this side of the Atlantic ocean, and
probably never before surpassed in the world,
outside of the homes of the nobility, in extent
and completeness. It is the property of a
San Francisco lady, young and beautiful,
whose statuesque form they become most re
gally. She has just left for an Eastern city
preparatory to making the grand tour of Eu
rope. There were in the collection, between
thirty and forty robes of all kinds and of eve
ry variety of rare device. Only the finest,
the richest, the rarest, the most delicate ma
terial had been used in their creation—silks, ;
satins, velvets, and snowy laces, such as en
velop the form like an encasing snowdrift.
Some of them came from Worth, the Paris
man milliner, at whose shop they were order
ed six months ago.
The entire wardrobe, with its attendant 1
paraphernalia, cost SIOO,OOO, not including
diamonds, with solid gold dressing cases and
innumerable toilet articles of luxurious con
ception and fabulous cost. — San Francisco
Chronicle.
The Augusta Canal.
THE GREAT WORK SEEN THROUGH ATLANTA
SPECTACLES.
If we were called upon to name the one
work In Georgia that promises most for the
future of the State, we should write down:
the Augusta canal. There are few persons
who have any conception of the vastness and
completeness of this great work. It is a
proverb that he who sees it for the first time
is astonished. If the capitalists of the North
could only take a trip of inspection from its
one end to the other, and be entertained the
while with the history of the huge factories
that stand upon its banks, we predict that in
ten years it would be lined with buildings,
and its whole length made musical with the
hum of spindles.
Some idea of its proportions may be gath
ered from the following facts and figures :
The canal is seven miles long, and averages
one hundred and fifty feet in width, with an
average depth of eleven feet. It is cut from
the Savannah river at a point of great eleva
tion, and just where the river begins a series
of repeated plunges. A dam 1,700 feet in
width, and of massive strength, protects the
canal from the overflow of the river. The
dam is so provided with gates that the whole
volume of water in the river is under abso
lute control, it being within the power of the
gate keeper to turn two-thirds of the river
into the canal, or if he desired, to shut it off
entirely. The supply is thus as inexhaust
able and as powerful as the river itself, and
as completely under control as a spring
branch would be. In some places the canal
is over a mile wide, the builders leaving the
wall down where a creek entered the canal,
and allowing the wastage to find its own
level. This enormous volume of water is
carried through the canal, past the city, and
is there turned backward and dropped
through three levels into the river again, re
joining its current at the foot of the shoals.
There is a “fall*’ or head of water in the
canal varying from 10 to 45 feet. Its whole
length for the seven miles might be lined
with the largest factories, and they might be
operated steadily, without exhausting or be
ginning to exhaust, the driving power of the
water. As it is there is now $3,000,000 worth
of machinery and buildings along its banks,
in the shape of mills and factories. It is an
established fact that each and every one of
these factories is a paying investment. Some
of them are the most profitable manufactur
ing properties in the country. The growth
in these industries is marked, continual and
steady. New factories are going up every
few months or so. capitalists are prospecting
continually for new and reliable sites. A
steamboat is on the canal for the purpose of
carrying boats up and down.
It is impossible, however, to put on paper
the sense of grandeur with which this tre
mendous work impresses one as he sees it,
a solid sheet of water, suspended, as if by
magic, above the city' of Augusta—its enor
mous powers held securely and at rest, be
tween the lines of embankments. In its
massiveness and vastness, this canal suggests
the old Roman aqueducts, and is different
from the most of our modern improvements.
It is a grand work and one of which every
Georgian ought to feel proud. As for Au
gusta. it must build her up royally and speed
ily. If the city were blotted out of existence
to-day and that canal left, it is our deliberate
opinion that in ten or fifteen years a city of
50.000 would be built on its levels. That it
will soon put Augusta past these figures can
not be doubted.— Atlanta Constitution.

Death has come with his scythe, and re
moved froinc earth and our midst the aged, the
respected and the beloved. While the “grim
monster” was expected, his terrible work was
none the less effective. At no time is he
welcome ; but when he comes to bear away,
in the evening of life, a man of noted integ
rity for truth, honesty, and every virtue that
characterized him as a man of honor, this
sadness is alleviated by the mellow glow that
“ he is not dead, but sleepeth.”
Samuel G. Hunter sleeps the sleep that
knows no waking. Realizing the irreparable
loss we have sustained, we, as a body, would
express our profound respect for his memory
i and our deep sympathy for his heretofore,
and now, still more deeply bereaved and re
spected family, in this their sad hour of afflic
tion. We breathe the sentiment of the entire
! Fraternity and community, when we say we
'found him ever the same. Asa citizen, he
was true to every trust reposed in him ; as a
neighbor, lie was kind and obliging; as a
husband, he was affectionate and devote \
and as a father, he was kind and forbearing—
ever prompt, brave and enthusiastic—who
knowing truth and right, dared both to de
fend.

2. That we tender to his grief stricken
family the assurance of our heartfelt sympa
