Hon. Hiram Warner.
Mr. Editor, —The names of different
individuals have been suggested in the
public press for the nomination of chief
Magistrate. This is proper if done in j
the proper spirit. Very little, if anything
has been said through the public prints,
in favor of outmost eminent citizens and
who is a particular favorite of alnrge por
tion of the democratic party. I allude
to Hon. fliram Warner, a gentleman dis
tinguished alike as a jurist and a States
man. Asa democrat he is unexcep
tionable. When the recent unhappy sec
tional strife raged with such virulence
and ferocity, which tore asunder the
phalanx of the democracy, but which
fortunately for ue and for the country is
now well nigh cemented, Judge War
ner was among the first who urged upon
the party to forget past differences, and
to rally again under the fltg of the dem
ocracy. With such and individual as
this as a candidate for governor, no ap
prehension need be entertained but that
vic'ory will attend us.
Liberia. A letter from President Ho
lier!*, dated Monrovii, AI rch 14'h, states
he had just returned from his expedition
against the Chief Bumbo, whom he had
taken, with fifty of bis followers, without
any fighting. The day of the letter’s
date was fixed fora meeting of the Chiefs
of the disturbed districts to arrange all
disputes. With this settlement the trou
bles with ihe natives would end, as they
were convinced on all sides of the ability
of the government to maintain its authori
ty and punish transgressors. Lieut.

o'clock, A. M. he was taken ill. .Ylcdirai aid was
immediately sent f#r, and though qsick in atten
dance proved of no avail. In the space of two
short hours from (i e firs', symptom of illness, h-i
was a lifeless corpse. During this short and sudden
illne-s n*> unusual or extreme suffering seemed lo
be experienced, He seemed lo die as he hid lived
:U peace with God and mankind. For some time
previous to his death he seemed to be aware that
Me lithe allotted lor him on earth had well nigh
drawn to a close—aud that and .a’h had lost its ter

Around his dying be 1 side, most of his children,
anti many ofh s ffiea Is and neighbors hastily as

the death of one ol the best of fathers, neighbors,
and misters. Upon the tablet of memory of all

Jones comity, f,om thence to Pike, where ho has
residea for the last 28 years. Having raised a
large fa inly, most of his children and grand

GRAND JURY
PRESENTMENTS
SECOND WEEK—SPALDING SUPERIOR COURT,
May Term, 1853-
TIIC Grand Jurors sworn, chosen and selected
forthc Second Week of Spalding Superior
Court, May Tefm, 1853, —iurlosing their uulies
| for the Term, beg leave to make the following pre
sentments;
The Jury of the first week having attended to
■ the duties of an examination ofthe county records,
we deem it unnecessary to travel over tlie same
ground, except so tar as to foot up the accounts of
the Treasurer. We find that up to'the first of
January last, the receipts and expenditures of that
oflicet, had liven as follows;
Itcceivcd J 2554 94
D.sburscd 860 04
Leaving a b lance on hand 0f.... T..... $1724 90
Next to the gift of Heaven, of sound, rational
judgment, we believe Ihe proper education of the
mind ought to be placed, and, as philanthropists,
we fuel it a duty wc owe our lelloiv-citizens, to do
all within our power to extend that education n
mong all classes of our population. Wc accord
with our predecessors of la t week in recommend
ing the ordinary .to assess n tax for the education
of the poor of twelve and a half per cent,
l’hc Legislature of of the State of Georgia has
been, and is yet, quite liberal in providing incans
for the education of the pool; bul owing, partly, to
the this feasance of officers, and partly to other
causes, the means heretofore provided, have done
but little good. This we rcgrei, and hope that
hereafter no offic< r charged witn any duty in
reference to the education of that unlbrlunaic class
of our population, will fail lo and seharge promptl}
every duty assigned them. But the principal dif
ficulty in the way of educating the poor, docs not
arise from the want of necessary means, nr the
neglect of duty in the officers of the law; it lies
at the uoor ofthe patents, or those having control
ol‘Buch children, and exists in their negligence or
indifference in failing to send ‘such children to
school when an opportunity oilers. How to rem
edy this difficulty, has been to uaa mattea of seri
ous consideration, and ns the .knowledge of an
evil does but little good unless accompanied with
soino recommendation ns a remedy, wc have
sougiU earnestly for the most effectual way to
overcome this difficulty. Legal restraints and re
quirements in such matters, is thought to be a
gainst the general policy of our laws and form of
government. We cannot, therefore, resort to
the law-making power to enforce this duty, on
the pail of parents and guardians; but wc can
by the force of that all powerful engine, pu die
opinion, do much to remedy, if not entirely cure
tins evd. Let the duty of gving lo children a
proper education become a theme ot common con
versation, and those who Icel an interest urge it
before the more indifferent, and in a short lime
public opinion will become so manifest as to over
come m a great degree lire evil we complain of.
We are aware witn what reluctance many of
our ciiizens relinquish old and established laws and
customs; bul in Mis day of progress, when almost
every thing is made to go with the power and ve
locity of steam and electncity r *nd in view of the
generally had condition of our public roads, and
the fuflorne hope of llwir .ever being much bet
ter under our present system of working them, we
lee! constrained to recommend a thorough revi
sion and alteration of our road laws, which were
enacted ‘osiMt the convenience and circumstances
of a sparse population, whose roads had compara
tively but little travel on them The law which
subjects our taming popalalioa to the liability of
being called on tliMbb services of rfieir most valu
able hands lor five, ten, or fifteen days, in the most
busy season of the year, by the overseer oil he
road is, to say the least ot it, of doubtful propriety.
NVe suggest, therefore, that our people should be
relieved entirely from road duty; and, in lieu llierc
of, that a reasonable tax be levied to be appropri
ated to the improvement and repair of our roads. —
No one can doubt that a small company, with the
proper i npleinents and an experienced overseer,
can do mure permanent good to a road in one day,
than an ordinary company, with the usual farm
ing utensils,can do in a week. Should Hus change
m the law be nude, the road tax may have to be
tolerably high lor two or ttuee years;but si soon
its we can get all oar roadsonce properly Woiked,
it will require but a small amount to keep them up.
With these views, wc recommend our representa
tion in tbe next Legislature, to urge before that
body, the passage of a law winch shall accomplish
what we Imre indicate; and if tliey find it im
practicable so to change the general laws of the
estate, that they ask for a special law to that es
lect, which shall prevail in Spalding county.
We are gratified to wihiess fin seat that rs daily
manifested among our p<op!e in the cause of Tem
perance. aud hope lhat the effects now being made
will lead to beneficial results. While we would
not compel men to be religious or moral by the
foree of law; yet, we would always lend a helping
hand lo such necessary police regulations as guard
our cilizcns agams. (he ex ravagance of the ine
briate, and believe it to be tile duty of all god.
governments so to manage its political machinery,
as to control the ten tinman J evils arising from
intemperance.
W ; regret tnc neglect of patrol duty as is evi
denced by ihe free passage of negroes when and
where they please,and rceptctfully request the pro
per authorities to be more vigilant in the discharge
oflheir respective duties. The practice which wc
find prevails to some extent, of placing young, and
inexperienced men at the head of patrol compa
nies, we led bound to condemn. Such companies
should be put under the aged and considreate.
In relation to the new Court-House, we would
suggest the propriety of waiting until a sufficient
q un'ity of funds lias been raised by t moderate
lax, to be levied by the Inferior Court yearly, *o’
finish the work by a cash contract; but would leave
the action to the inferior Couit ofthe county.
In taking leave of his honor, Judge Stark, wc
take pleasure in tendering him a cordial exprer
sio i of our approbation •’ the distinguished ability
and li lelity with which he has discharged the nr
diioiniily of die high trust committed to his hands,
and hope that the judiciary of Georgia may long
have tnc benefit of his valuable services.
To the .Solicitor General, we tender the usual
compliments, for the able andimnartial manner in
which he has discharged his duties.
We request that these presentments be publish

culiar virtues in improving the skin. No matter
how thick the beard may be. it is soften oil in a mo

trial will satisfy any one of its wonderful virtues.
A few drops upon the brush, with ordinary soap
and water, makes the prosess of shaving a posit iv e

year, for one who shaves every day.
The Emollient Ambrosiul Elixir.is an elegant

College, under the” direction of the Presbyterian
Synod of the State of Georgia ,to be opened the first
of the coming year, together with two or three ;
private schools of high character.
At the suggestion and solicitation of many ofhis
