SQr One of onr Prussian citizens has
the war fever to sncli an extent that he
has procured a musket, goes through the
drill every fifteen minutes and stands
gnard daring the night Saturday night
he arrested a brother clerk and made him
“ mark time ” until relieved by a passing
police, who told him he was a copond and
wonld carry the prisoner to the gnard-
lionse.
Arrest ok a Hooch.—Some time last
SpriDg the Gin house of Mr. Thomas
Bryant of Lee county, was fired by some
malicious scoundrel aDd destroyed, but
suspicion rested upon no particular per-
nt the time. A few days ago, Mr.
Bryant came in possession of sufficient
vidcnce to criminate a negro man in the
immediate neighborhood, whereupon he
as arrested, and made a full confession,
e is now in jail in Albany.
A young exquisite of this city, who
wants to marry in a few days, went last
week to pay his intended a visit in an
adjoining county. After spending two or
three days with his dnlcena, he sends
word to his friends to let him have a dol
lar to come home on, os his shirt needs
changing and he hasn't aDy with him.
That young fellow had better go to work,
the woman he monies may often have
to borrow something to eat
SSiT A gentleman on a visit to this city
from Lnmpkin, Stewart connty, says that
few days ago a countryman carried a
agon loaded with chickens, eggs and
bntter, into that little city to sell, and as
soon as the members of the City Council
espied the wagon they gathered aronnd
it and asked the owner if he was licensed
to sell in the streets, he informed them
that he was not, when they immediately
confiscated his load, divided it amongst
themselves and sent the wagoner out of
the city. “Old Spot” must have some
ready disciples in Lnmpkin, or snch im
positions would not be tolerated.
He says tho city poll tax is only fire
dollars every four months. We think
that is very light considering the ability
of the people to pay it.
The City Clock.—We hear complaints
every day from onr citizens about the ir
regularity of this time piece. Some days
five or tea minutes too slow, and
others from fifteen to twenty minutes too
fast, and at other times it fails to strike
for 21 hours, and so it will ever be as
long ns tho duty of keeping it in order is
given to a man who knows as mnch about
a clock as lie does of aerial navigation.
If not taken ont of his hands, it will cost
the city a considerable sum of money to
have it repaired. It is too valnableja
piece of property to be placed in unskill
ed hands. No one but an experienced
watchmaker shonld attend to the keeping
of the city clock. Shonld it get out of
order, he will knowhow to remedy it and
will always have the correct time. Let a
change be made before it is too late.
Turnip Seed.—Dr. J. A Tarts has
presented us with a package of tnrnip
MT <1 °* hi* °wn raising, which he pro-
111 mnces c, l u «d to any ever raised. As the
season for sowing turnips is at hand, we

ESU Hon. Nelson Tift’s letter address
ed to the members of the Legislature and
people of Georgia, will be found in
another column. It is an interesting
letter, and shonld be read by every voter
in the State.
^2^ A countryman asked the other day,
' the war was progressing between

though- would whip?" As he takes no

CQr The Justice’s room was a very hot
place on Saturday afternoon. Numerous
15th Amendments hung about the door
and windows. Grab and Ketchum grinned
defiance at one another. Takenll under
took a lofty flight in the pure elements of
legal lore, bat the black shadow and
pleasant aroma of the Amendments were
most too hoavy, and he fell back in his
chair with the perspiration rolling from
every pore like young springs suddenly
bursting forth, granted a deep grunt,
flopped his sweat-rag across his swelter
ing brow and prayed the colored broth
ers for one breath of heaven’s pare air to
revive his drooping spirits. The Justice
groaned, wiped Lis majestic forehead,
looked at the erring disciple of the saint
ed Abraham, looked at Grab, Ketchum
and Takenll, looked at the windows and
door, looked heavenward, sighed and
looked again, and mattered, “ virtue is
the only thing necessary to stop all such
as this, ” then sighed again, straightened
his under lip, held up liie head, frowned,
looked defiance and determined to stand
it like a man. About this time a huge
amendment leaned against us in the front,
another was pressing us in the rear while
the spirit of old John Brown seemed to
be settling upon ns, and a streak of light
appearing suddenly on the right we dart
ed ont, and left the Conrt in its glory,
heat and sweetness, to Grab, Ketchum
and the Amendments, thinking that some
kind friend wonld tell us what it was all
about and how it terminated.

Information Wanted.
Mr. Editor.—Will yon, or some one
better posted than myself, please inform
the public by whose authority the issuing
of the new city scrip was done, and how
mnch was issued. I hare it from the
most reliable source, that four members
of council knew nothing about the mat
ter, nntil the money was pat in circula
tion. Who assumed the responsibility of
thus taxing the citizens when there was
necessity for it. The city did not need
the money to meet its expenses. Why
then throw upon tho market, several thou
sand dollars of city scrip ananthorized.by
the Legislature and not sanctioned by the
City Council ? If the city has enongh
greenbacks on hand to redeem this scrip
where is the necessity for issuing this
extra money? I recollect what a “hue
and cry” was made against the late Or
dinary and County Treasurer for issuing
county scrip for county purpose*, and
what disposition those officers had to
make of that money. There was no
more use for this city scrip than there
was at the time mentioned for connty
senp. Bnt my only object at this time
to ascertain, who authorized the iss
uing of the late city scrip.

Mr. Editor : In yonr weekly issue of
the 22dinst., I notice a communication
the signature of “ A Citizen, ” rela
tive to a Union singing held at Pleasant
Grovo Church, on the lGth and 17th insts.
My object in writing this is to find ont
what became of the “big dinner’
which a number of the citizens of Ameri
cas, Oglethorpe, and other places were in
vited, on the 17th, by Mr. F. West? A
large number of people attended through
that invitation, and I must confess they
were badly “ sold. ” There was no din
ner for them and bat few got any, and
those that did—through the kindness of
some of the neighboring citizens. This
is a new way to get up large congrega
tions where merit will not attract, and
most of na know that we only “went out
to hear a reed shaken by the wind. ”
The meeting was a success, bnt what
became of the “big dinner” is the prob
lem to be solved. I know that the peo
ple of thatseetkm could have provided
one of the best kind if they had approved
of it, and I look to them for an answer.

Me. Editor : In your issue of tho 20th
insk, yon were pleased to refer yonr
‘valued correspondent, Citizen, ” to me
for information concerning the City Cur
rency. A few general remarks must suf-
indicating the policy I have, and
shall continue to pursue in regard to in
quiries propounded by anonymous cor
respondents touching City affairs.
Since my connection with the City gov
ernment I have never, on any occasion,
refused to impart all the information I
possessed about City affairs when called
upon; and in addition have cheerfully
placed the records of tho City
hands of every one desirous of informing
themselves, and will, most cheerfully ex
tend the same courtesy to “ Citizen ” if
he will only trouble to call at my office,
bnt lest he fail to call I will depart so far
as to assert that not one dollar of new
Currency has been issued in excess of old
retired, and which was ^issued nnder
former administrations, and the issue was
authorized by Ordinance ol Council dnly
passed, and with the knowledge and con
currence of a majority of the Board.
The impropriety of my rushing into
public print, Mr. Editor, to give infor
mation touching the acts and doings of
the City Council, occnpying as I do the
humble position of Clerk of the body* is
too obvious to discuss. The body entire,
or its Committees, can speak for them
selves. From time to time I am author
ized to lay before the pnblio the City’s fi-
nanoial condition—or to be more accurate
—the receipts and expenditures—and
which duty I discharge with pleasure.
In concluding this article, I will add
for the information of the public, that it
has been my desire to give a correct
lxibit of the City’s indebtedness ever since
my advent into office, bnt so far have
been defeated by my inability to ascer
tain the exact amount of City Currency
in circulation issued years ago. That dif
ficulty is, I atn hapl y to believe, nearly
removed in its absorption by the new Cur
rency, and when completely absorbed,
trno exhibit of the City's financial condi
tion will be made, and I presume pub
lished by order of Council

Building and Loan Association.
NO. 3.
The shares in a Building and Loan As
sociation are sold at one dollar each,
which enables a poor man to save what
little he can from his income and invest
it in something that will pay him a good
dividend at any time, in caso he should
conclude to sell oat his stock. Each stock
holder is entitled to one vote for each
share of stocks so held, at any election
held by the Association. Each stockhold
er is entitled to purchase an advance of
Two Hundred Dollars on every share
held by him, and when each and every
stockholder has received §200.00 on each
shore held by him, then the Association
will determine and close. The dues of
One Dollar for each share will have to be
paid monthly by the owner of tbe same,
until the valr.e of the whole stock, in
eluding Premiums, Interest, Ac., shall be
sufficient to divide to each share of stock
the sum of $200.00. Those who have re
ceived their advance of two hundred of
course will not receive anything more
from the association when it closes.
The officers of theso Associations
usually a President, Treasurer, Secretary
and four Directors, who ore elected
nually. The regular meetings of the As
sociation are held once a mouth, at wlxioh
time, members pay their dues. J. F.
No. 4.
The benefits to be derived from an
association of this kiud aro sufficient to
induce any one to take more or less stock
in it. The Bankers and other monied
men find it remunerative and always sub
scribe liberally for stock in these associa
tions ; and to prove that the stock is al
ways in demand by them, all associations
place a limit upon the number of shares
that can be held by any one member. In
Columbus, for instance, the number of
shares that can be held by any
ber is limited to 40. There tbe total num
ber of shares issued by the association
amount to 2000. Although the monied
men find this a good investment, it
mechanic, clerk, and other men of mode
rate means that can folly realize all the
benefits to be derived - from becoming
members of an association of the kind.
Men that now spend every dollar that
they make, will find this to be one of the
beat saving banks in existence, and any
body can save something out of their in
come, if it is but a dollar a month. In
short time this will amount to quite a
butq, which will stimulate the party to
economise and add every dollar they ean
to the amount already saved, and in a
few yeors will have » sum of money that
will enable him to bay a lot if not to
build a house and never feel the outlay.
The following will illustrate the finan
cial workings of ono of these associations.

To Your Posts.—We find a stiring ap
peal in the Constitution, signed “Repub

sent a moment from their seats. Usurp
ers axe bold active and vigilant. The
vote on this question may come np at
any moment. For abeence is treason.”
It Is to be hoped there are no denocrats
who will absent themselves at this impor
tant crisis. Another report in the same
journal, says that Blodgett promised the
Republican caucus “that seventeen demo
cratic members of the Legislature wonld
be absent when the vote shonld be taken.”

Ellaville, Geo. July, 22.
Mr. Editor : In compliance with your
request I herewith send yon a meagre ac
count of the Sabbath School Celebration
this place yesterday.
The day opened beautifully bright and
clear, and early in the morning the peo
ple begun assembling nntil about 10
o’clock, there waa a very large crowd pres
ent. About this hour, too, arrived the
Americas Brass Band, which is, permit
to say, quite an acquisition to any as
semblage of the people.
The various Sabbath Schools in attend
ance met at the Baptist Chnreh, where
they were by the Marshal of the day, Dr.
W. J. Sears, formed and marched to the
Methodist Chnreh (where tho exercises
took place) in the following order:
Tho Ebenezer Sabbath School bearing
a banner with the inscription—
“EbenezerSabbath School ”
“TheBold to Heaven. ”
Hopewell Sabbath School—
“ God is onr King. Himlet us honor. ”
New Prospect—
Search the Scriptures. God is love. ”
Ellaville—
Jesns is our Captain. Come boys,
come girls, wont ybu volunteer ?
The four schools, two Baptist and two
Methodist presented quite an imposing
and beantifnl sight os they marched
through onr littio town, and it made the
heart glad to seo so many Sabbath School
Scholars (there were perhaps 250 in the
procession) in one body in these degen
erate times.
On arrival at the Methodist Church the
exercises of the day were gone through in
the following order:
Prayer-rby tho Rev. J. W. Mills.
Song—Happy Greeting, by the Schools.
Speech—Master Henry McKellar.
Song—Kind Words, by tho Schools.
Music—Americas Brass Band.
Speech—Master John Haynes.
Song—Land of Btiela—Schools.
Speech—Misses Battle and Womack.
Mnsic—Americas Brass Band.
Song—Star of the Evening, Schools.
Speech—Master Eddie Sears.
Song—Don’t yon hear the Angels Com
ing ?
Speech—Master Richard Wiggins.
Song—Jesns loves me.
Mnsic—Americas Band.
Dnctt—Misses Myers and Allen.
Song—Beantiful River.
Benediction.
The schools again formed in order and
marched to the beantifnl Grove in front
of; the residence of Col Robk Barton,
where a most bountiful and snmptuons
repast was prepared, of which all were
invited to partake, and thus ended the
exercises of the day.
The children all acquitted themselves
well, but I eannot help particularizing a
little. The speech of Miss Emma, daugh
ter of Judge C. L. Battle, and Miss Fan
nie daughter of Major W. G. Womack
was especially good. Master Eddie, son
of Dr. W. J. Sears, though but a very
young orator delivered his speech finely,
and was loudly applauded. The same
may be said of Master Richard son of R.
F. Wiggins, Esq.
At abont 2 o’clock, immediately after
dinner, a large cloud was seen rising, and
the large concourse of people hastened
to the shelter of the Churches, and ’twas
well they did so, for ia a few moments
the rain descended in torrents.
There very large crowd present,
estimated at six or seven hundred, among
them quite a number from Americas and
Buena Vista. I was struck with the im
provement in your Brass Band since I
last heard it, (some three years since,)
they really play well and are quite an or
nament to your city, they contributed
very greatly to the pleasure of the day
and will please accept the thanks of onr
people for their attendance.
May we have more snch celebrations !
may we the people all over our country
have them! and may the cause of the Sab
bath School spread nntil there shall not
be a child on the American continent who,
when he shall have grown to man’s estate
and wandered from tho paths of truth
and right can look back and say : I was
not trained in the way that I shonld go.
In my ignorance I am lost.

U A mechanic living on the shores
of Lake Zurich, M. Theodore Znppinger,
has invented a mechanism as marvelous
the daguerreotype was at first consid
ered to be, the applications of which have
since become so popular and universal
The machine of Mr. Znppinger is no
larger than the human hand, and per
forms the work of an accomplished ste
nographer. Placed in contact with tho
vocal organ, it reproduces the slightest
sounds enunciated by the tongue, throat
bps. While one is in the act of speaking
ribbon or paper is detached from the
machine, similar to that thrown off by
the telegraphic apparatus, on which the
words pronounced are traced in black
and white. The mechanism is in all re
spects most ingeniously constructed, and
worthy of being compared with the inven
tions of Niepce, Daguerre and Morse.

Taking The Census.—The collection
of statistical information concerning the
resources and industry of tho country, by
the assistant marshals who aro employed
to take the census is a very difficult task,
and vary often leads to many amusing
scenes and conversation. Wo have a
in point wbiclj occurred in the
Southern part of this connty, and which
was related to ns by ono of the parties
who was present at the time the examina
tion took place.
Our very clever Marshal, Capt H ,
who is busily engaged in taking the cen-
of the county, on his rounds the
other day, found himself at a house where
number of women were residing. After
being seated for a few moments, ho sta
ted his business, and turning his atten
tion to one of the party, who he thought
was tho head of the family, thus addressed
her.
Capt. H.—Do yon reside here, mad
ia?
Lady with babe in her arms.—No sir.
I live a mile from here.
Capt H.—You are a married lady, I
presume ?
Lady—No sir. My husband died du
ring the war.
Capt H.—You’ve married again since,
I suppose ?
Lady.—No sir, I have not
Capt H.—Well, madam, is that a le
gitimate child, pointing to the babe in her
lap, abont five months old.
Lady—Yes, sir it is. I’ts daddy works,
for it, and supports ns both.
At this Btage of the conversation the
Capt cavetl, not knowing how to proceed;
and though he is a student of Blackstone,
yet he has not been able to understand
how a woman can have a legitimate child
and have no husband.
The Capt being a modest man left
forthwith, without continuing his exam
inations any farther..

. Reader, if you have a sick Horse do not
doso him with “ Condition Powders” containing,
antimony, which is just as useloss and injurious
to him as ia the constantly swallowing of poison-
compounds to the human system. It is
e humane to knock a horse on the head at
i than to kill him by inches through the ac
tion of antimony, which accumulates in the
system, and thus sooner or later produces death
by *u*im/iTii»l poisoning. Remember, reader
there is no antimony, nor any other poison in
the “ Equine Condi ton Powders.” Their action
under all circumstances, ia physiological; there-
they can bo safely used in all forms of die-
1 (whether acute or chronic) with decided
benefit to afflicted animals.
