A Happy New Tear to All.
The Sch presents itself to-day to
its many readers, with a warm greet
ieg to all, and a deep feeling of
thankfulness for their past favors,
aad wishing you every one a happy
New Tata
Th* ysar that is past and gone
©OHtains within ics mighty bosom*
unch, very much, from which we
can draw useful lessons. There are
but precious few among us who have
not, within the past twelve months,
•can some of their fondad hop*® and
brightest anticipation* wither and
die. We a’l, however, have great
cau ® for thankfulness, in the fact
that we have been spared, in the en
joyment of health, to see another
year.
how is the time “to turn over a
new leaf," and now is the time to
make good and strong resolutions,
carrying within our hearts the mark
which the unpitying band of the Old
Yesr haw Imprinted, und with faces
set ternly toward the future, it is
yet in our power to do many deeds
of goodnew and moral greatness, and
thus enable ourselves ever to look
back upon this departed year, not us
a mournful .monument of misspent,
or ill-apemt time, but as a beacon,
that bas guided our ship of life into
clearer and calmer waters.
We again wish all a Rappt New
Yeas, and as this is the time for
good resolutions, we can not refrain
from promising our readers that we
•hall in thc'future, strive harder than
ever, to bting the Son up to a stand
ard of journalistic excellence.
Christmas Carols.
Santa Claus, that brings to the
infantile world his gleesoiae treas
ures in the merry and immemorial
holidays of dear old Christmas, seems
to hare varied his carols in the year
of ottr Lord 1872 V with a turbulent
and destructive set of episodes. He
has brought the bitterest cold of his
frigid season, to the discomfort of
the poor, lie brought such hurri
canes of snow and icc as the memo
ry of mankind, nor their discomfort,
has ever known. Ho brought ele
mental ruin and disasters of flood
and lire, and death, through the
whole broad range of the land.
The newspapers teem with ac
counts of dreadful visitations of an
angry Providence, horrible railroad
accidents destroying hfe in quantity,
ruinous storms on land and sea, shat
tering ships and hurrying houses to
f ragments, ice gorges sweeping way
property and people.
Lvery species of fatal disaster is
recorded. The variety of destruc
tion seems literally diaßblicaL
Old Santa Claws must have been
possessed of a ferocious devil, with
mansual powers of remorseless tfce
•trnctivenesß.
Let us hope that this new role of
disaster we be never again attempt
ed by the great Christmas divinity,
hot that he will confine himself to
his legitimate and beautiful mission
ot making little hearts happy and
their blessed little stomachs full.
No man bas been more unfortu
nate, and bat few men possess more
indomitable enterprise and irrepres
sibiHtj than Barnum, the veteran
showman. Phineas is hia name, but
it should.be Phoenix, since he has
arisen three times from the ashes of
his “ great moral exhibition.” On
being notified of his laßt misfortune,
lie telegraphed from New Orleans to
his agent in New York that he had
cabled hi* European agents to secure
half a million dollars worth of curi
osities, and that he would have a*
*bigger show next sprii g than ever
before. The shrewd P. T. was
thoughtful enough to direct his
Aleuts to inform the editors of news
papers of the fact
Is Tax Line or Promotion. —A
London correspondent of the Boston
Globe states that it is not- at all nu- ‘
likely that Mr. Kenjatain, ex-Confed
eratd Attorney General, 'will be ele
vated to a judgeship, sooner or later.
He is at this moment one of the most
•uccessiul advocates at the English
W, with an enormous and growing
practice. The appointment of a bar
rister of foreign descent to so high
an office would be very unusual, if
not unprecedented, in Great hritaiu.
Atlantic & Gulf'Railroad
Every one in this section
try is perhaps acquainted with the
circumstances under which the bill,
pieseuted in onr last Legislature,
granting State aid for the purpose
‘of fhs extension of this important
line of rail, was defeated. Tne pro
jectors of # the measure then, will
again urge its passage, and as the
time for. the assen b ng of the Leg
islature is rapidly approaching, it
becomes a matt* r of paramount im
portance that the friends of the Road
should be.using every effort in its
behalf.
Should the bill become a law, no
sect on of country can hope to reap
so large a share of its benefits as the
counties lying along the line of the
road, and it is actually essential that
those counties, in view of the mag
nitude of the interests’involved in
the measure should gire expression,
to this feeling. We propose, then,
that a meeting of the citizens of the
entire county of Decatur be called
at an early day, to discuss the mat
ter thoroughly, arid, if thought best,
to memorialize the Legislature in be
half of the bill.
Decatur county is a large stock
holder in the enterprise, and its
westward extension is the only hope
of securing to the stockholders any
return for their outlay. But apart
from sectional interests involved in
the measure, the State, as one-third
owner in the property, has a vital
interest in its success, and we wish
to see the bill a law.
We hope our citizens will at once
see the necessity for prompt action
in the matter.
The Tribute to Heroic Service
Our readers will find an another
column, an appeal for aid to build a
monument to the martyrs of the
South. Do our people need a stim
ulent of inspiration to effect this
holy object ? Have they not con
tributed handsomly and gratefully
for that purpose? Shame on us of
the South if they have not! Have
our spiritual concej turns become so
material that, gratitude is absorbed
in avarice, and patriotism in the thirst
for gold? Do these things eclipse
the deeds of the Confederate dead
and make us forget the sacrifice of
their lives, for our land, their, homes
and those they loved so well ? At
whose call did they spring upon
their war-horses, draw their swords
and seize their grins ? “Go knights
of the South, and fight for your land,
your principles ancl your homes.” —
This was the war-cry of our people,
and on ndred bloody fields with
odds against them to appall the
sternest hearts, they fought and died
for those people, their rights and
homes. Have the men of Georgia
forgotten this, and worse than all,
have the women of Georgia forgot
ten it? They died bat no agonies
of spirit were betrayed, save that
they could not live to protect you to
the last. They yielded their glorious
lives, and will you fail to subscribe
a pittance, five dollars, or four, or
three, or two, or oue to erect a sin
gle monument in honor of all ? We
feel ashamed to ask the question, and
we beg a generous people to excuse
us, as we believe they have mereW
overlooked this claim in the excite
ments of a political campaign. See
the notice of the general agents in
another column, and hand to loc. 1
or send to the general aggnts, your
individual mites at once. Tickets
will be furnished you for any amount
even to a single dollar.
I ho Boston Globe says the belles
of the Hub seem determined, when
they appear in frill dress
represent as nearly as possible the
last pale rbses of the departed sum
mer. The very palest tints—no
colors are allowable—are chosen for
the evening dress in which Made
moiselle arrays with a contented
heart. * A .
I A New Austrian Gun.
Experiments have been made with ft
new gun, an Austrian invention. The gun
i is of forged iron peices. kept together by
bronze rings. The saving iu casting as
against east-steel cannon of the same cali
; ber is 6,00 florins as against 25,500. The
gun has answered well, though not as well
aa its cast-steel competitor. It has thrown
projectiles with varying charges of thiriy
-Beven,’tniny-uins. and forty pounds of
prismatic powder and is calculated to be
a match at a range of over five hundred
yards for eight inch armor. I y reason of
its economy it is likely to be introduced
, in the army.
A .wag went to the statiou at one of The
railroads one evening, ana Sliding the best
car full, said in a low tone. “Why, this
car isn't going.” Os course this caused a
general stampede and the wag took the
best seat. In the midst of the indignation
the wag was asked; “Why did yon say
this car wa-Vrit going?” "Well it was ut
thou.” rtpled the wag. “but it is now.”
The Pittsburg. Cincinnati and ,>t. Louis
Company are rela ing their whole line
with fish bar iron, aixi will complete the
improvement next year.
Good.
One of the modest wags in the
land is John L. Harris, of Bruns
wick—a ger tlernan of infinite jest as
Well as rare abilities. He was invi
ted to be present at the late meet
ing of the- Direct Trade and Immi
gration Committee in Macon. .He
sent the following letter to Colonel
Nicholls, the chairman, which was
read amid roars of laughter over the
jocular allusions to that prince of
men, Tom Hardeman. The cream
of the joke is that the allusion to
“faro” was a pure fabrication, ema
nating from the jolly wealth of Har
ris’ jocular fancy, as Colonel Harde
man never touched a .card, or tempt
ed the arbitrament of the “ tiger” in
his life.
The thing was so good that we
spirited the letter away to give it to
an appreciative public:
Brunswick, Dec. 25, 1872.
Deau Captain . I have just receiv
ed your letter', but am suffering from
catarrh.
I am overwhelmed by the death
of General Wright. He was a man
that I loved and honored, and now
all that remains is “Peace to his
ashes.”
I am glad that you are going to
invite Tom Hardeman to address the
committee.
I am glad iliat you appreciate him
as you do, and manifest it in a prop
er. manner. Truly, wo were in a
bad craft in this last Presidential
contest, but none the less do I re
member with admiration the heroic
bearing of “ Tom” at the helm.
But how much the wretch looked
and talked like an Episcopal Bishop,
ill his address to the convention. —
Yet, I litive bucked at Faro opposite
this man ! Truly the Lord is mer
ciful. Yours, very truly,
John L. *H arris.
