Fknianism —The raid on Canada was

Texas.
An old and reliable ciliz nos Terrell
count} 7 , who has just returned from a two
months tour of observation in Texas, gives
it as his opinion that the. disadvantages of
that State are more than an off sot to the
advantages. Ho says the lands are very j
rich and cheap, but he found no timber to
fence them in, that being very scarce and
not good when found, lie went out with
a pretty hot Texas fever on him, but came
back perfectly cured.
Southwestern Georgia, is the best Texas
In the South. Those who are already here
had better remain ; those in oilier places
who wish to better their couditiun should !
move hero.
Prudence—Patience—Hope.
If there ever was a time that Southern
ers should think, it is the present. The
most burthensomo task devolving upon us
as Southern men, who have the lovo of
country at heart, is that of keeping our feet
out of the pa'b of tho extremists and radi
cals. In the present eondi ion of tho coun
try —with the voluminous causes for preju
dice which the fi centers of the North aro
every day producing, by the unprecedented
attempts at oppression which their radical
representatives— now in tho majority—are
daily making, it certainly requires the ut
most caution and the clearest discretion on
our part to prevent civil discord, and an
everlasting war of prejudice between the
two scctiops—if not direct revolution. We
aro not one of those who believe that every
act in pro f rs tho ] r illigacy and morn 1 de
generacy of tho radicals should bo taken
up> by the Southern patriot and hurled with
scorn back into their faces. These puny
.u r—
to be such in the finale—of tho radicals to
heap disgrace and political degradation up
on us aro not deserving of so much notice
at our hands. Eminating as th ydo from
the very sinks of prejudicial infamy, they
should fall at the feet of all honorable men
nnd never riseabovo that level.
It will require some time to level the tow
ering mountains of prejudice which tho
late war has roared in the hearts of the
the best of men. both North and South—
and until Time, th.-<t great and irresistable
dAtroyer of all things earthly, has worked
this mighty change, it becomes us as lov
ers of peace, to possess our souls with pa
tience. Let the waters of fanaticism rage,
even though at times they threaten to sweep
away the last vestige of political right
feeling confident that the rock-hound
shores of truth and justice will finally say :
“Thus far shall thou go,” etc.
We do Bot wish to be understood as en
deavoring to eradicate from the hearts of
• ur people all of the spirit of resentment,
and striving to produ e a spirit of submis
sion to all wrongs—an ovecWking of all
[olitical evils—far from it—the heartless
acts of some men in power will, and justly
should, live in .the memory of good citizens
both north and soulh, until their own per
tidy shall have sunk them to the darkest
cells of oblivion. But the time for resis
tance is not at hand, and we should re
member that while the present state of feel
ing exists generally amongst even cur
Northern friends, almost any notion on our
part toward the resentment of attempted
wrongs, and showing up of the political
rascality of some of their men, will appear
to them more like sectional prejudice than
what it really is—and everything which
the imagination of that people conceives to
bo prejudice in us, increases what there may
already be of it in their own hearts.
Thus, the political economist will at once
sec that it is better for us to be prudently
silent, while they fume with boistrous rage,
than to act, when our action, but puts inti
their distorted imaginations new grounds
for fanatical fury and rigor. Let Sumner,
Stevens & Cos., go on with their work of
raising the negre above the whites of the
South in the political scale, contrary to
every edict of nature. It is a work that
will Dever be accomplished, and its com.
pletion is not hoped for outside of hearts
that aro only awaiting a transfer to paDdi
iDouium.
And finally—let u a not bo discouraged
by present circumstances, or frightened by
the thunders of fanaticism, but rest our
souls in peace with a full assurance that,
with the inevitable triumph of truth and
l ight, a bright and glorious prospect will
\ et be opened up to us

(jioorgia Academy for the Eliind,
We feel that wo may be benefitting some
of our unfortunate fellow creatures by pub
lishing a portion of a circular, rccieved from
l’ro. W- D. Williams, principal Georgia
Academy for the Blind, Macon Georgia.
We would take this occasion to say, that
from the intimate acquaintance wc have
with Pro. Williams, wo do not believe the
State could have selected a better man for
this very responsible position. Tho parents
of the blind throughout our State, may bo
satisfied that their afflicted children when
placed under his care, will rccicvc all the
attention which can possibly be given :
This Institution has been reinstated in
the occupancy of its building in this city,
and is once more in the receipt of its regular
support. It has ample room for the acom

the means and facilities for their education
in all the branches of the usual literary
course in saliools and academies for seeing

Ist, and closes June 30th. It is very desir
able that pupils be in attendance at tho be

Information will be promptly given, by
letter or otherwise, to persons desiring it,
and the Principal will, from time to time, as
be may have opportunity, visit tho different
parts of the State, in order to advance tho
the interests of the unfortunate class for

For the Dawson Journal.
Messrs. Editors': In my last letter, I
sought to impress your readers with some re
flections, tending to show the folly on the
part of oif plcntcrs and farmers, who are
cumulating and expecting to sell out their
agriculturist interests, and invest the capital
n other pur uits—and therefore arc ncg’cct
ing to provide for the future operations of
thoir farms and their own happiness and com
fort on the plantation”. The extent of dis
satisfaction that prevails among the agricul
turalists, is alarmi.'g in view of the palpa
ble truth , that the only hope of rebuilding
this country, and restoring it to its political
financial, or social power, is in the success
that is to attend our agricultural industry.
Tho proposition to abandon it on tho part
of those, who aro educated and trained to it,
is a direct strike at the vitality of onr ooun
try. Do your readers propose to emba/k in
merchandise? How can that flourish with
out the production of thoso staple commo
dities, which bavo been the souro-sof our
wealth and power in the past, and which
aro our only reliance for the like results in
the future ? Do they propose to engage in
manufactures? Thcso stand upon produc
tions, r.s certainly as tho house stands
upon its pillars; and will as certainly fall
with a crash if they ere withdrawn. Do we
not well know, that tho agricultural produc
tions of this country, float the steamers on
tho rivers and neighboring seas, and propel
the engines upon our railroads, and that
without them our card”, spindles, and looms,
would bo psralized, the forges and furnaces
cooled, the merchant’s counters unfrequented,
the calling of tho artist, and the architect,
would ccaso to inspire a love of the beautiful
and elegant in improvements, the libraries
of our learned professors, would cease to
furnish food for tho mind, and all around us
would decay.
But I doubt not, while our people arc all
willing to admit these general truths, they
are as individuals, unwilling to admit tho
force of their application. For instanco, du
ring the war, every one knew that specula
tions, extortions, withholding food and rai
ment from tho army and people at home who
wero poor efo., unuerniiningpublic confidene,
alienating tho poor from the rich, and di
verting the public mind from the original
aims of tho Revolution, as well as
from the evils p gainst which we were conten
ding. We all knew this, and still individ
uals, relying on tho patriotism of others, and
the public virtue of the great majority would
persist in these ruinous practices, and the se
ductive influences of large personal gains,
stake! against the loss of liberty, and the
general ruin, caused the number of these in
oiviutidis to increase every (lay, until a sea
of corruption enveloped our country, beneath
which tho fires of liberty were quenched
forever. Those who bad not wealth to pro
tect, and were not stimulated by their hopes
for preferment, or their pride of character
as soldiers, felt that all the original incen
tives to fight had been ftmoved, and they
deserted the army, and left us—as aD infant
in tho hands of a giant. We were crushed,
and if it was the fault of individuals, who
relying upon tho disinterested patriotism of
others, were seeking to make extraordinary
preperations for their own case and comfort
in after life. They did not desire it to be
so*, but they exp ctcd that it should bo
won, by the sacrifices of others, whilo they
were to reap not only the benefits the pub
lic shared, but hold all their ungodly indi
vidual gains It is said that in the town
of ,in tho State of , the pastor
of a certain old-fashiond churoh, requested
a demijohn of jrinc, at the bands of bis fiu
gal congregation They proposed to place
the emty demijohn under the pulpit, and
each male .remember when ho came to
church to bring a bottle of wine, and pour
it in until tho vessel should be filled.
The contributions went on for some time,
and it was at last ascertained that the vessel
was full; when the parson carried it home,
and took out the cork, he found to his as
tonishment and disappointment, that he had
a jug us water. Each member relying upon
the virtue and honesty of his bretheren,
thought it proper, in his case to drink the
wiue at home, and make th) contribution in
water, and that tho deterioration would be
so slight, that the good preacher would not
detect the fraud, aud as they all loved wine,
all resorted to the same trick.
Thus it was, with our people during the
war—or a large majority of them. And
such is the tendency of things, as indicated
by the purpose of our farmers and planters
to get out of their present employment, and
leave the country to sink in inevitable rain.

An Historical Incident —The New
York correspondent -of the Philadelphia
Ledger writes :
*•Preston King. —lt is not generally
known to the public that this man for a
time an incubus to tho White House, was
made tho Collector of tho New York harbor
to get him out of the way. But few under
stood why he committed suicide ; but then
aro sojne who have an idea why ho commit
ted the act. It was no doubt, his consienee.
I. was Preston King who kept Miss Sur
ratt from seeing the President on the morn
ing of tho executi m of her mother. The
President knew nothing of her being at his
door-step, in agonizing tears, to ask for the
stay of the law for one short day. Old
King kept tho l’rosident from knowing
what was going on and, after the execution,
it became so apparent that the condemned
was innocent of any complicity with the
real murderers, that it harrowed up hi3
soul. In fact he had no peace after her
death, and becoming desperao under tho
lash of consienee, no commit'od suicide.
Have all the others who hounded this poor
woman to the gallows got consienees yet ?
We suppose they have, and knew they
nmut Buff-r Litter stings.”
Itiilin of in llic Comity
Courts.
Judge? Russell, of tho County Court of
Chatham County, recontly appointed a
committee comjtoaed of members of tho
Savannah bar to report ‘‘rules of practico"
for his Court, w hich committee reported as
follows:
11 The undersigned commiteo appointed
by your Honor to examine the Law consti
luting the Country Court, mid to determine
whether your Honor cfln adopt rules to
govern the practice! f your court., and if so.
what rules wo consider necessary and
proper to be adopted, having carefully ex
amined the subject, respectfully report that,
in their opinion, your Honor is not author
ized to make any rules, nor change or mod
ify the Rules of Practice of the Superior
Court, which nre by luw made the rules of
your court, unless specially excepted.
The power to make rules is vested in tho
Judges of the Superior Court in conven
tion, and to no others. Whether any of
the linles of Practice of tho Superior Comt
are applicable or not, is a question of law,
to be determined by your Honor when the
case is specially brought before you.”
What I>o They Wish *
The country is ringing with the disputes
of politicians in Washington. What do they
wish? Taking Mr Stevens, of Pennsylvania,
as the exponent of the party bo leads, what is
it. that he wishes ? Tho Union ? Not at all.
Me can have it any day. It is only to say the
word and the last memory of tho war will
vanish in the atmosphere of pence and per
fect union. What then 1 Power ? Nothing
else. The simple solution of all the anxious
caucussing of tho radical party is found in
their desire to preserve power in their own
cards. Tho evidence is in their acts. —
Wbat is their present emotion? what the
presnt subject of their most earnest delibera
tion? llow to prevent the President from
making appointments to office of men not
belonging to the radical party. That subject
occupies liiue-tenths of the time of the major
ity in Congress. What is the burdon of the
amendments to the Constitution which they
propose. Nothing but tho preservation of
power in their own hands, and the prevent
ing of opposition votes, either now or in the
next Presidential election. What a blessed
calm the people would have if these faction
ists were only removed from power ! llow
prosperously and gloriously would all things
go forward ! There is a singular blindness
on tho part of men of property, to the fu
ture of the country if radical management
shall continue. Has any one who holds a
United States bond any confidence in the
wisdom of the men who are dragging us in
to every sort of radicalism ? If so, the con
fidence is sadly misplaced. There is a more
immediate connection between the, coming
elections of members of Congress and the
fortunes of individuals than has yet seemed
to be appreciated by any one. There is
no one who proposes repudiation. When
the ory is heard that ouc or the other party
proposes to repudiate the national debt it
may be disregarded at once as a mere politi
cal cheat. The plan question for every
man is, whether the debt is safer under con
servative or radical management. What
would the bonds of the United States be
worth if Mr. Thaddeus Stevens were Secreary
of the Treasury, with the powers now possess
ed by that officer? What is likely to bo the
future financial history of the country under
radical lesislatipn, judging from the past ?
vv hat.is the deht worth if the constitution is
to bo amended and amended whenever it
suits the ruling faction? These arc no idle
questions. They are no party questions.
Thoso merchants and bankers of New York
who have always Called themselves members
of the Republican party, know very well
that it is no question between Democrats and
Republicans, bnt it isaqus-tion between
themselves and the radical men who are lead
ing them to ruin.
If the Congressional elections this fall
fail to give tho President a substantial sup
port; if the radical wipg of the Republican
party succeeds in whipping the conservative
wing into the support of the radical candi
dates, as in tho Conneticut Legislature last
week, the future of our very existence as a
people, becomes more dark than ever, nor
can any one point to the period when it
will be any lighter. Two years more of
such a Conrgess as this would ruin the na
tion, past almost all hope of redemption.—

To the Women of Georgia.
We make an appeal to all the true-hearted
women of our State, and especially to those
who have cot had their homes laid wasto
during the late war, to assist us iu the last
sad duty wo owe our brave countrymen who
fell at the battle of Rcsaca, 14th and 15th
of May, 1864, and whose bones lie bleaching
on the hill sides around us.
The immediate retreat of our army after
that brilliant but disastrous engagement,
and the occupation of tho country by the en
emy for more than a year afterwards, pre
vented the proper interment of our dead.
But shall they still lie unburied, a silent
reproach to us? Shall those whom we de
lighted to honor whilo living, be less dear to
our hearts now, after having sacrificed all in
our common cause ?
No! no! the response comes, eagerly
though mournfully, from tha warm, sympa
thetic hearts of our Georgia women, ever
ready for every good work duiisg the last
five eventful years, and they will not deny
themselves all that is now left to tis —the
burying and mourning our dead.
Wo would suggest that tho ladies of each
city form committees for the purpose of mak
ing collections to bo appropriated to this sa
cred cause.
Mr. John P. Green, a cit'z*n of this
neighborhood, has given a beautiful picoc of
ground for our proposed cemetery, and Le
will gladly receive, and use as directed, all
money sent for the purchase of coffins, and a
suitable enclosure of the ground—assisted

ing Green (Ky.) Gazette says if the far
mers will uso petroleum oil in small quan
tities on their farms, they will not be
troubled with the many insects that destroy
their crops. The Gazette says it is an eftec
tual remedy against cut' worms and potato
bugs. The oil will cost but a triflo. To
apply it, dip small pcioes of brown paper in
the oil and scatter it over the ground; the
odor will destroy all kinds of insects.
