We want Money.
We are trader he necessity of having
money, and therefore obliged to call on
those indebted to this office to settle up.—
No one can consider this an unreasonable
or improper request. Wc have to pay
cash for almost every expense we incur in ]
the prosecution of our business, and surely
we have a right to look for a response
from our patrons at the ciul of the year.—
To those who have already attended to
us wc return our sincere thanks ; and wc
tru>t others who have not, will call on us
without delay. Wc have no alternative;
we are obliged to have money; we cannot
wait longer. To those who do not know
what amount they owe, we are always rea
dy to give that information.
Our Jab Offioe.
Wc have just furnished our office with j
an additional amount of no&r job type’
which, together with those on hand, most
ly purchase 1 year before last, make onr job
office complete, for the execution ojj pam- i
phlets. card*) handbills, or any other work |
in our line, which we are determined to do j
in the best style and on the most moderate j
terms. Thankful for a large increase of
pubUe patronage during the last year, we
resprofully solicit a continuance of the
same, pledging ourself that we will work
as cheap as any oue else in the State of
Georgia. We are determined tic one shall
underbid us in our prices.
Education.
The article on Education, which was
coaim Viced in oar last paper, is finished in
to-arty-s. u ttitt ttc touiui on rue irrsr
paare. It is from an able pen, and will
largely compensate for the trouble of pe
rusing it.
Mr. Wadley’3 Resigna ion.
The Dalton Tims of the 20th iust. an
nounce • that it is now reduced to a certain
tv that Mr. Wadley has resigned the office ■
of Superintendent of the State Road, his
resignation to take effect from the loth of
February next, when he will return to the
Central Rail Road, where, we understand
he will receive a salary of five thousand
dollars for his services. Wc see it stated
further that Mr. Yongc, of Atlanta, has
been appointed to succeed Mr. Wadley on
the State Road.
Robison and Eldrecl’s Circus.
Our friend Col Tidmarsh, the Agent o*
thh old and world-renowned Circus estab
lishment, dropped in on Monday last, and
gave us an epitome of his last summer
travels at the North. The company had)
been well received, done well arid made
monev. We did not know which most to
admire, our old friend or the line carriage
aud pair he was driving. The carriage is
a splendid piece of workmanship, and the !
painting on the panuels beautiful. This
old and popular company will exhibit here !
on Monday the 7th February next, atZeb
ulon ori Tuesday the Bth, at Bartlesville
on Wednesday the 9th, and at Forsyth on
Thursday the 10th. “Good wine needs
no bus!),” is an old proverb; and this
company needs no recommendation from
us. for it recommends itself wherever it
goes. For particulars see advertisement
and bills. Price of admission to the whole
fifty cents.

The Mayoralty.
There seems to bo considerable com mo- i
tion already, in the under currents of our
little city, towards providing a groat fath
er to guile its future destinies. It is well
enough to “take time by the forelock” in !
most matters, though in this we think J
docs not come on until the first Monday in
April. A meeting was called at the court
house on last Saturday, but, owing to this
cause we presume, there was but a slight
attendance, and the meeting postponed.
Wo have heard two or three names men
tioned, and there may be others of whom
we have not heard, or who have not yet
been brought forward.
First, there is Judge P. B. Cox. Eve
ry body knows Judge Cox—cue of the
“oldest inhabitants”—was here before the
streets were grubbed out, or before we
had regular preaching. Judge Cox is a
good fellow, as every one knows—has
•dusk to Gridin in all her difficulties—has
never been behind the curtain in an emer
gency, but whenever she has called for his
services, lie has answered and been ready.
Col. I*. W. A. Doyle is also spoken of
by his friends. Col. Doyle is a worthy and
gool c tizen, public sprite'! and energetic.
II . 1 ui.so would make a good Mayor.
Col. \V m. R. Phillips has also been
looked to, and would fill the Mayor’s chair
with grace, dignity and ability.
Either of these gentlemen would make
a good incumbent of the office; but as they
cannot all be elected, the people must
choose and determine between them, and
others should they come forward.
Savannah.
Notwithstanding our “up-country pre
judice,” there are few things from abroad
give us more pleasure than to hear from
time to time of the growing prosperity of
the city of Savannah. The Republican of
the 20th inst. states, that twenty-three ves
sels passed out over the bar on the Thurs
day previous, bound for different ports,
and some eight or ten more were expected
to leave the day following.
Is UieCiaT.il I-o-; hi Giifflii?
Why no, you goose, what makes you
I think that ? There is no Small Pox, as
tar as we know, within fifty miles of (bif
fin. The last case here was about five
yeats ago, and then nobody else took it
but a poor little dog. The little dog
took it and was killed, and that ended
the small pox in Griffin.

Spiritualism, Phrenology, Animal Magnet- j
ism, &o. &o.
Wc are informed that Professor Brack- ’
■ ette, from Kentucky, will lecture at early
I candle light, on Thursday and Friday j
j nights of this week, and we hope he will;
have a respectful hearing from our citizens.!
Here lately, we had Rev. Mr. Harris,
who, in five lectures told, or tried to tell
all about our right to converse with the
spirits of just meu who had departed this
life.
In looking at the Mountain Cove Jour
nal, it speaks of disclosures, &e. from, as
we-understand it, “the Spirit World.'' —
What else? Why next, here comes mag
netism and clairvoyance, who make equa
pretensions aud quite as many disclosures.
Take for example the disclosures of An
drew Jackson Davis—this last has pub
lished a book of disclosures, containing
nearly oue thousand pages.. But next,
j here comes Professor Brackette, on Phre
! uologv, the disclosures of which Will be
j announced to the citizens of Griffin, in a
j free lecture this evening (Thursday.) Well
as we have heard all the rest, let us go
and see what he has to say. Shouldn’t be
surprised if he tells us something we
nyver heard before. „
Status to Gen. Washington
The House of Representatives on Mon
day, the 18th hist, passed, minim covdra,-
dicente, a resolution ropria ting Fifty
Thousand dollars for erecting in Washing
.tnn _Cit3L a Bronze ‘Equestrian Statue of
Gen. George Washington : thus substan
tially carrying out a resolution of Con
gress of 1783, and, in the flash of a iuo
ment, discharging a high and solemn duty,
which had from time to time, for half a
century, been moved in vain.
We understand that Mr. Mili.s, whose
I statue of Jackson is now the pride of
Washington City and wonder of the age,
is to be employed to erect the Sta tucof
Washington.
And now, as the Washington Monu
ment moves on so heavily aud tardily, and
has not yet been raised one-fourth its con
templated height, and as both the monu
ment and statue are intended to commem
orate the virtues and services of the same
great man, would it not be well to stop
the monument right where it is, and finish
by surmounting it with the statue ? We
think it would be the very idea. The
monument, as it now stands, would make
a noble pedestal for a statue about twice
the natural size, say from twelve to sixteen
feet. ______

The Gendiner Fraud
Henry May, Esq. and others, appointed
by Government to search for Gardiner’s
: silver mine in Mexico, for which Govern
j ment pd:i! I'hu four hundred thousand clol-
reached \\ ashlngton city. Their report has
not transpired, but it is said will confirm the
report that no mine could be found by the
Commissioners, though they traveled six
teen hundred miles on mules in search of
it. A Washington letter says : Senator
Soule, chairman of the Gardiner claim
committee, will give the subject early at
tention. Mr. May and his colleagues have
brought witnesses with them to prove that
the claim is a grand humbug. It is stated
that Gardiner’s trial will proceed as soon
as the facts already ascertained are com
municated to the District Attorney. Ac
counts say that Gardiner travelled with
the Commissioners on their return as far
as Havana, and then left them and has
not returned to the United States.

Noith Alabama and Savecuali Rail Road
The following interesting article came
to baud through the Savannah Republican
of Monday last. Wc have barely time
in to-day’s paper to call attention to it I
and make room for its insertion. We shah ;
give it a more extended notice in our fu
ture numbers. We agree with the writer
that the lino is one which would bring an
immense amount of cotton through to Sa-_
i vannah from North Alabama, besides otlu
!er produce, merchandise, passengers, &c.
; The road could lie built for two millions of
dollars or less. Indeed, commencing at
| Griffin, aud using it as it was made, it
! would half build itself, aud yield splendid
dividends when completed. In the pre-,
sent plethoric state of the money market,
there could be no difficulty in securing the
funds for a project so promising.
from ih>- Sv.n.irr.h Republican.
Messrs. Editor* , — Permit me to call
your attention to a projected line of Rail- j
road, not put down on any maps, but!
which, wlumi carefully examined, will be!
found vastly to contribute to the trade!
and commerce of Savannah, and the in-!
crease of tonnage and passengers going
over the Macon and Western and Central
Railroads
lfvou will examine the map of Ten
nessee, Alabama and Georgia, and draw
an air line from Memphis, Tennessee, to
Savannah, Ge<'rgh), it will at once ap
pear that Decatur, North Alabama, Grif
fin and Mac.otT, Ga. are nearly upon that
lina. A line of road, therefore, reaching
from Memphis, Tenn. to Savannah, via
Decatur, to Griffin, would at once be pre
ferred above all rubers to Baltimore, Phil
adelphia and Nt\* York, for all descrip
tions of freight P mn the South and South
west seeking those points; also forali
merchandise shipped from the i
cities seektup li ~” oOU Ri aud South-west J
within its influence or range. It would also
control a vast amount of travel which will
otherwise take the East Tennessee and
Virginia Railtoad. it: fact, it is the only
iou;p, including all roads already made,
or in cmit-mplaiion, which will .icarr#
freight or l {—• ■v> k MS il,c

North to Sou: h vrs Memphis.
The roa i from Memphis to Decatur
\ will be completed in three years at fur
| thest (a distance ot less than two hun
dred miles) under the charter of the
Memphis and Charleston R. R. Cos. and
the only portion of this contemplated
new route to build is from Decatur, Ala.
to Griffin, in Georgia, a distance of about
170 miles; and it is rather a temarkable
fact, that, following the air line from De
catur to Griffin, lea !s us through, or very
near to the only practicable route known
from North to Middle Alabama, to wit:
through Morgan, Marshall, touching the
lines dividing DeKalb and Cherokee from
St. C’iair, and through the centre of Ben
ton county, near Jacksonville, the county
site, thence to near Gadsden, aud through
Newnan, to Griffin.
This Road would, to a very considera-!
ble extent, drain the w hole of North Ala- j
bama above and below the Muscle Shoals,
which region of country is generally!
known as the lennessee Valley, making I
annually from seventy-five to one huu- 1
died thousand bales ot cot'on, varying |
according to season, and with a plank i
made to Gi k t-er; T#nu• woivt.

Upon reaching the Coosa Valley,

And the -rrunG reasons why I ieve,
all these anticipate*! reginh* will be real
ized, is, in the fact mainly, that Decatur,
North Alabama, vm this new route to
Griffin, Georgia, is nearer Savannah than
Chattanooga is to Charleston by railroad.
The distance from Chattanooga to
Charleston by railroad is four hundred
and forty-four miles The distance from
Decatur, Ala. t<> Griffin is 170 miles—the
distance fiom Griffin to Savannah is 249
miles—mnkim in all, the distance from
! Decatgr to Savannah, 419 miles. But,
allowing the road ut diverge at diffierent
points, H is sufficient to establish the
important fact, that Decatur will be as
near bavannah foi height or travel, as
Chattanooga is to Charleston Making
a difference of length, oy railroad of 130
miles, and by the river of 185 miles in
favor of ihe new mule tu Savannah—suf
ficient, in my esti -iiiti:;:;, to overcome all
competition by other lines.
ihe distance in miles being so much
in favor of this new Rom], it is confident
ly believed am! maintained, that it is the
only possible way to control the Cotton
of the Tennessee Valley to the Atlantic
I ports; because the Memphis & Charles
ton Road can afford t<> carry cotton from
Decatur to Memphis, and steamboats
from Memphis to New Orleans for three
dollars per bale including insurance, or,
at most, throe dollars and twenty-five
cents, hut, by the road from Decatur via
Griffin to Savannah, it can be carried at
tne same rate, because insurance will he
saved. In this case, Ido not at all con
ceive it doubtful, how the large hulk of
cotton w ill go —dearly to Savannah—it
being a wcli ascertained fact, that prices
are generally better for North Alabama
cotton at the Atlantic ports, than are re
alized at the Gulf ports, which is suffi
cient to induce it to go that way. Bu’
the present rates charged from the Ten
nessee river to Savannah or Charleston,
say $5 per hale including insurance,
would not for a moment be submitted to
by any planter or shipper, knowing the,
difference in cost; consequently, no cot
t,)r> can be expected with rnv show *' r j
eason, to seek th(> A:la.i,ic pf.r;-., vfu
u communication hv railr >; :> i,
Memphis, unless this p'bjected toud ‘is
j built.
j Ihe country Ihruujh Marshal, and for
| some distance through Cherokee, is moun
tainous and rugged, but presents no for
midable obstacle in building the Road
—-it being intersected with valleys run
ning in the direction of Gadsden, which
approximates the air line already men
tioned.
I here can he no question, that the
j freight and travel alieady mentioned, as
I likely’ to lie brought on this line of road,
i would yield a considerable revenue, and \
\ r j'jtke it, in fact, a good investment, at
j fifteen thousand dollars per mile, or pr >-
(,’bahly more. And*when viewed in all its
. iinportatrt^jearings upon Savannah A Bal
timore, York, it
jis would* he

■ ihe writer- trusts that enough has h!-
j ready been stated, to point out its great
; importance, and to call public attention
i b> it, and speedy action in getting surveys
j ar d estimates made bv an experienced
j engineer, and if he succeeds to this extent
! tor the present, he will remain satisfied,
and will have accomplished the task he
has undertaken being entirely satisfied
as to the final result, when estimates and
surveys are made. W. M.

Gen. Pierce and the Abolitionists.
Ever since the Cabinet appointments for
the in-coming administration have been spo-_
ken of. the abolitionists have been trying
to give matters a complexion favorable to
themselves, In every cast of the dramatis
persona to conduct affairs at Washington
for the four years from and after the third
| or one or two of their own!
| kidney were certain to be incorporated.
Mr. Dix, of New York, was held on to
with snapping-turtle pertinacity, with a
determination to shove him into the Cabi
net whether the President elect was will
ing ofnyt. t l t
Sow m our huflphl^opinion (of course
it is merely an inference) Mr. Pierce never
thought seriously for the first time, of ap
pointing Mr. Dix a member of his Cabinet,
The whole talk about Mr. Dix has grown
out of the efforts and wishes of the fresoil
ers and abolitionists. We are confirmed
in this opinion by the following letter, from
the Washington correspondent of that
rabid abolition sheet the New York Tri
bune. The abolitionists find that Mr. Dix
has let down at Washington—that they
cannot get him in the ring—and this letter
is written to ease him down quietly—and
also, we suppose, in the hope that they can
carry that pure patriot, Hon. Jeff. Davis,
of Mississippi, off the turf with him.
The facts may be true, as stated below,
; as far as they apply to Mr. Hunter in con
j neetion with Mr. Dix, but we will venture
I the assertion, not one word further. Mr.
; Hunter has no objection to a seat in the
j Cabinet alongside of Mr. Medary or Mr.
Davis, we will stake our word upon that.
Jefferson Davis’s nomination too, is certain
J*> be conlirmerr the ap-!
probation of Mr. ’if (ne President j
makes it.
We have but little doubt, from what has 1
leaked out, through different channels,
from the President elect, that his first con
ception of a Cabinet was, to unite and
amalgamate into one, every branch of the
old Democratic party, upon the Union
Compromise—to induce each branch to l
drop its ultraism, and unite into one upon
mutual concession. He has discovered
this will not suit Seward, Dlx, and others
of the freesoil and abolition stripe, and he
has dropped them.
The following is the letter, to which we
IJiave reference:
of the New York Tribune.]
Cabinet Ass -.ira.
Jan. 14, 1853.
The Denip cra . tic Congressional hive is
at this ‘ II excited a state
as during the previous to the meeting
of their late NAtitfl^ 11 convention. The trou
ble grows out of Ablations made by Hon.
on; ‘lU.hlU 1 . I ,]
his recent flying visit to Washington
lie promulgated the facts that Mr Hun-
I ter, of ."“bna, had not tendered his de
clension of°the State and that
though Gen. Pierce had not pJ”’ flvc * y
made up his mind, he was very much in
clined to invite M- Medary, of Ohio, into
the Post Office Department; Mr. Jefferson
Davis, of Mississippi, to be Secretary of
War, and Gen. John A. Dix, of New York,
to take the Portfolio of the Treasury De
partment. After learning these matters,
Mr. Hunter consulted with his friends’
and coining to the conclusion that it would
never do to trust himself in such company
in a political boat so officered—he sent
to Gen. Pierce a polite declension of his
kind proffer. \ our readers may rely on
the facts above stated. His act meets the
hearty concurrence of a large number of
his fellow Democratic Senators, among
whom I may name Messrs. Achison, But
ler, Bright, Douglas, Cass, Brodhcad,
Downs, Charlton, Adams, and others—in
all, numbering from twelve to fourteen;
some of these gentlemen—Tugaloos and
Cassmcn—avow their determination to
vote against the confirmation of Jefferson
Davis, while all of them make no secret of
their determination of exercising their con
stitutional prcrogJPlre of voting against
tno confirmation OrGen. Dix, if nominated
to the Senate. This ‘is the occasion of the
bobbery. Mr. Francis P. Blair, and his
connection by marriage, young Mr. Wood
bury, of Boston, are believed to be doing
their best to reconcile the malcontents to
the “cast” above mentioned—but, so far,
in vain. For they manifest a settled de
termination to force Gen. Pierce to depend
on Whig sympathy and support to consti
tutionally make up his Cabinet of such in
gredients. Hundreds of letters have been
written to the General from this city with
in the last two days for and against Dix
and Davis, while Mr. Francis P. Blair and
his co-workers have doubtless urged the
cause of Dix with unsurpassed eloquence
and earnestness. The weight of this epis
tolary testimony has been decidedly n
gainst them. So many and so vehement
have byen tlm representations of this sort
| which have prone to Concord within the
l last forty-eight hours, as to render it quite
I impossible for Gen. Pierce to compliment
Gen. D;x after this fashion, unless willing
to do it at the expense of open and de
cided hostility to his administration, at the
outset, of nearly one half the Democratic
nnrty of Congress; and more than half the
j Democratic members of the two Houses,
: who are not after offices for themselves or
i adherents.
| Under these circumstances, it is urged
j by those in whose opinions I place eonfi
j dence, that Messrs. Dix arid Davis will be
j dropped from the programme in double
j quick time, and that tiie original design
of making up the new Cabinet, with Hun
ter and Matey as its leading features will
be adhered to.
Whit is needed in Griffin.
A College, or Collegiate Institute for
i males is needed— greatly needed, in Griffin.
/If such school were established, many boys
would be well educated who will otherwise
scarce be educated at all. Many would be
educated at home, under parental guardian
ship, who may be ruined by evil associa
tions abroad. What multitudes of youth
have thus been ruined by College life away
irom home ! But the following table will
I show that as a matter of pecuniary
interest, the citizens of this place would
act wisely to contribute at once Ten Thou
sand Dollars for erecting buildings for
this school—and that in doing so, they
may safely calculate on having this amount
refunded annually for five years to come :
Ist. It is reasonable to
expect that fifty students
from abroad would be
sent to-such school, or
College. These would pay * |in o -
annually each, S3OO, ftl*ooo 15 000
2d. 20 Coll^ e students
*rom this town who would
otherwise be educated a
broad, would be a saving
annually of SIOO each, 2,000 10,000
3d. 20 families would
likely settle here for the
purpose of educating their
children, whose store ac
counts would be annually
each SSOO, ‘ 10,000 50,000

ciaus in those 20 families,
j and among those 50 for
j eign students, annually, 500 2,500
sth. Additional pat
ronage to Hotels and Liv
ery stables combined 500 2,500
6th. $15,000 worth of
town property now for
sale would be enhanced in
value 10 per cent. 1,500
Ith. $15,000 worth of
town property to rent
: would increase in rent
10 per cent. 1,500 7,500
Bth. College buildings
would cost SIO,OOO, on
which undertakers and
mechanics would clear 1,000

and improvements to be
made in consequence of
such institution being lo
cated here, worth to me
chanics, &c. annually 1,000 5,000
$33,000 152,500
It is believed the above estimates are
quite reasonable. But if there be any
doubt, take half the amount for the first
year and we have $16,500, and in five
| year's we have - $76,#00 brought into the
j place by the establishment of such school.
I I leave others to decide what proportion
iof these amounts would be ‘profit. The
merchant, for instance, can calculate for
| himself what profit, lie would make on the
j sale of SIO,OOO worth of goods. The
| writer is candidly of opinion that one year
j after such institution goes into operation
i the people would be repaid for building it
j —and that it would add greatly to the
prosperity of the city in after years none
can doubt. J.'ll. CAMPBELL.

Griffin, December 25th, 1852.
Mr. Editor :—Travelling in the cars,
we arrived early in the morning of this
date, in a town, not over one hundred
miles from your city. Among the inter
esting things seen there, while we staid
but for a short time, was an object, deaf
and dumb and looking nine ways for Sun
day. It put us in mind of the Dutch mil
itia Captain drilling his malicious com
pany in military tictacs. “Durn your does
j out, slabb your heels togedder, holt your
heads pack, stig out your pellies, look like
mens, look like de tievil, joost like me—
fire. Dunder and blixert, I’m kilt.”—
i Down he tumbled, and rolled over ’and
j over in the mud, as if mortally wounded,
jWc expected to see the ground covered
j with blood from his wounds; but instead
i of that, hen’s beverage, called egg-nog,
1 ’*ourcd out of him, sursum ac dcorsum, with
Ia perfect c.'!“ Tac *’ aiu * flooded, that morn

lup and carried him to a hospital * or 1,u “‘
briates, where by dosing him with moC
phine, composition tea, No. 6, and Dr.
Wolfe’s Cordial, “Schiedam Schnapps,”
we learned he happily recovered and is now
doing well. We say to all friends, take
care of hen’s beverage. It is equal to a
powder magazine, full of brimstone, salt
petre and carbon, enough to blow to
atoms a cannon of 42 pounds calibre, let
alone stomachs, guts, skulls, and brains;
equal to a coagreve rocket in explosion.

Rail Road Accidont—Man Killed.
1 ho down freight train, when about
five miles below Dalton, ran oil and made
a dreadful smash up, killing a fireman—
John Lankston, — immediately, and se
verely injuring others on the train. The
Engineer, whose name is Stuck, escaped
miraculously. A crooked bar of iron in
the shape of an ox-yoke, was thrown bv
so nit into |he Engine-house, and
catching the Engineer by th 4 waist threw
him out of the window—a moment after,
and the place where ire was standing was
crushed to atoms.
Mr Lankston was mashed up badly,
having been caught about middle-way be
tween the engine and tender. His re
mains were brought to this place and
properly cared for.
fbe accident was caused by some im

Cass has given what is supposed to be
the modern democratic exposition of this
doctrine, and it is very important to know i
whether the incoming administration will
maintain and carry it out Causes for J

to this construction of it, have often ari

mail steamer from Vera Cruz, on the 9th,
ar.d left the next day for Jamaica, to com
municate with Santa Anna, and induce
him to return to Mexico, to place himself
at the head of affairs.”
“These Commissioners are deputed by
the revolutionary parly, which by our
last accounts was universally successful,
every Stale but three being u ider their
control.
When we last heard of San'a Anna, a
few weeks since, by way of Panama, ha
was still at Carthagena. ‘The Panama
papers, however, mentioned a report that
he was about to embark from Carthage
on, contemplating a return to his natixji
land, to avail himself of the general di^ -
satisfaction with Arista’s administration,
it is probable that the exile removed to
Jamaica to he in closer and more regular
communication with hit friends, and, as
Vera Cruz is in possession of his party,
we may expect to hear before many day*
of his landing theie, and succesfful entry
