Jackson a responsible farmer and worthy citi zen of this community, on the morn, ing of the 26th ult., discovering a hog missing of his number, concluded to hunt him up. Starting out from premises he soon came up witji a sqU tary track leading off in a contrary di rection, which he follo wed, till finally he missed the trace. Seeing a log at a short distance off be concluded prob ably thc gentleman had taken np bead quarters, as the weather was very in clement, and the log afforded a secure by itsbeing hollow, for anyother small quadruped I should have thought pave a lone hog! But however, Mr. Jackson happened to mount the log, in order I suppose to free his feet from clogs -of snow, began stamping at the same moment, heanag a faint rust ling within., Os course prompted by curiosity, he concluded to make a close search by cutting into the hollow above and below where he supposed the noise was heard. Striking into the hollow a ray off light being introduced to the eyes of the inmaite he lmmedi ately greeted the introduction by a feeble yet hoggish style, which proved to Mr. Jackson something of a hog was there. Bursting and slabbing off until more light and space gave the old fellow to understand day had dawned unto him again ; stimulated by this, out he rolled, but to Mr. Jacksons utter astonishment, what had he found ? Could it be a hog he had lost and almost forgotten ? surely it was ! Now, Mr. Editor, you will be made to wonder when I tell you according to Mr. Jackson’s relation of the fact, which he says is exactly true, lie be ing a Christian gentleman of high standing and reputation, none dare to doubt his statements in the least.— This notable hog was shut up or de prived of food, drink, or a single ray of light from the 29th November 1871 till the 28th January 1872, at which time he was liberated. Being imprisoned fifty-eight days and nights without food or drink. Mr. Jackson is perfectly satisfied on this point, be cause the range is somewhat limited, being thickly settled. Besides he says he is satisfied he would have come home had he been footloose. This hog can he seen on Mr. Jackson’s premises at this time, as yet, unable to walk, but seemingly in a prosperous condition as notwithstanding his many fast days, he hasn’t forgotten the importance of eating, &c. Mr. Jackson intends if he will stay at home, behave himself, and keep out of prison, to make a hog of him to weiirh 809 pounds I have seen this liberated prisoner, and can testify to Mr. Jackson’s state ments. and many other neighbors can. and will do tbe same. The first hog mentioned, was also found at, the same time bv Mr. Jackson, being imprison ed two da vs, and nierhts. Now. Mr. Editor, talk about principalities and powers, wonders and signs, railroads to come, and locomotives to pass ! but if this fact can be excelled in this, or adjoining counties in the hog relation of a truth, or, if it cannot be, let every one rally to the support of his county paper, in order that he may learn and keep posted, as to the curi osities being discovered daily in our county.

What tells us so readily the stand i * ard of a town or city as the appearance of its paper 1 And its youth or its age can as well be determined by the ob serving as by a personal notice. The enterprise of its citizens Is depicted by its advertisements, tlieir liberality by the looks of the paper. Some pa pers show a solid, healthy foundation plethoric purses and a well to do ap pearance generally; others show a striv ing to contend with the grasping thousands around them, trying hard to wrench out an existence from the dose fisted community around them. Oe casionly a meteoric display in its col umns of telegraph or local or editorials show what it can do, if it had the means; but it cannot continue in the expensive work until support comes, which ought to be readily granted. A newspaper is like a church, it wants fostering in the commencement, and for a few years : then, as a general thing, it walks alone, and reflects cred it upon its location. Take your paper ; it gives yon more news of immediate interest than New York or other pa pers : it takes up for you when other localities belie you ; it stands up for your rights. You always have a cham pion in your home paper, and those who stand up for you should certainly be well sustained. Your interests are kindred and and you must rise or fall together. Therefore it is your interest to support year home paper? not grudgingly but in a liberal spirit as a pleasure, not as a disagreeable duty but as an investment that will amply pay the expenditure— Godys Lady's Book. ti&T Mr. Gresham, who lives some eight miles from West Point, met with a serious accident on Saturday last. Mr. G. and family were at home sitting at tlieir home around the fire w hen the chimney was struck by light ning. The electric current passed through the gable end, of the house down to the mantle piece, totally des troying a clock w'hich was thereon.— From thence it passed along to the other end, knocking the gable out. — Two little children w r ere in a bed near which the lightning passed, but escap ed any injury. Mr G.and his wife were both knocked senseless. The former had one of his feet seriously injured. The skin w as lacerated, and foot presented the appearance of having been badly braised* lie was also se verely burned. The hair on his body looked like it bad been singed over a fire, and his skin w*as intensely red.— The clothing on Mrs, G. was set on fire and she w T as burnt from her feet to half way up her body. A son of Mr. Gresham, some fourteen years of age, was instantly killed, and a chest con taming clothing was torn into atoms and the contents set on fire, The roof of the house w*as almost thrown off.— A singular fact in connection with this accident is that neither the shoes of Mr. G. nor a single piece of the clock are to be fouua. — West Point Neves.

During the present - year a Presi dent and members of Congres are to be elected Liberty must be preserved or lost- The corruptionists of the day—the Bond Rings—the ambitious enemies office government-are artfully, persis tently paving the w ay to the overthrow of the Federal Republic, founded by Washington, Jefferson and Madison, and the establishment of a.Centralized Empire and a Dynasty in its stead. THE PEOPLE can prevent this if they will. They can retain their free dom, or they can become slaves. The destiny of’ this country is to be deci ded by the peoples' votes'! If the Democratic party will but stand firmly upon .its time-honored platform, and erect the standard ot Liberty, and honesty in the adminis tration of the government, a glorious triumph will be achieved. Victory is within our grasp. The enemy is giv ing way—is receding from his disre gard of law and constitutional guar anties. Now is the time for a vigo rous charge upon his wavering lines. The Sun, has beei\ sowing the good seed of truth. It has already brought forth good fruit.; We shall continue to sow the. seed, and shall expect a rich harvest to be reaped in the triumph of honest principles in the next election. We trust our patrons wall aid us in extending the circulation of The Sun.

Address i • J. llenly Smith, General Editor & Business Manager THE ATLANTA CONSTITUTION FOR 1872. This year promises to be second to none in local and national importance. The great Presidential contest be tween the Democratic and Republican parties, or between Constitutionalism and the rights of the States upon the one side, and Centralism and Impe rialism upon the other, -will agitate the country to its remotest corners. In State affairs the times will be no less eventful. Just emerging from a terrible crisis, the people of Georgia will soon see the final developments of the Radical drama enacted in the State since the close of the war. Be sides, there will be the regular election for Governor. The Constitution has a corps of cor respondents, domestic and fqreign, un surpassed by any journal in the South. It is published at the capital, and fur nishes full reports of Legislative Pro ceedings and the Supreme Court, to gether with Telegraphic and Commer cial News from all parts of the world. Being at the political centre of Georgia, it has superior advantages to obtain the latest political and general intelligence. The Constitution is now the Official Organ of the State of Georgia and the Democrgjic party. Having been unanimously elected at the last ses sion of the General Assemby. It is also the official paper of this city and county. To the people of Southwest Geor gia we desire to call attention to the fact, that th 6 Atlanta Constitution now' reaches them with the Macon papers of the same date Every one who would keep up with the times, and have an intelli gent, well-informed house hold, should by all means take his local paper and one from the capital. The Constitution now visits every section .and State, and as an advertis ing piedium is equal to the best. Proprietors: TV. A Hemphill, E. Y. Clarke. Editorial Corps: I. TV.
