Now, evidently, is the time to ad vertise, and advertise freely. There is just as much money now as there was before the panic, but those who have got it need inducements to fetch it out and spend it. Prices are com ing down, and such people will be wanting to know just where to find the best bargains. They will be con sultingthe advertising columns on this subject, and hence those wlnadvertise freely will have the best chance to se cure their trade. The Milwaukee Wisconsin gives the following illus trations of this fact when (in 1857) a house there secured success and for tune by resorting to liberal advertis ing: “After the crash of 1850, when ev erybody was almost scared to death, and the croakers predicted that the country had gone to smash a dry goods house was opened in this city, which proceeded on the principle that in order to reach the hoarded money in the pockets of the people the pro prietors must sell at very reasonable prices and advertise very largely 7 . They worked vigorously upon this principle. Their brother merchants who did not advertise predicted that the new comers would be ruined, as they paid too much for advertising.— Nevertheless they persisted. In a single year they paid five hundred dol lars in gold to the Daily Wisconsin for advertising, and at the end of sev en years they retired from business with a fortune of one hundred thous and dollars, while other merchants on the same street, some of them oppo site their store, had failed.” We remember, says the New York P< st, a similar instance among our own advertisers in the panic of 1857. A merchant continued his advertise ment in our columns through the whole jieriod of stagnation, and notwith standing the many predictions that “it would not pay.” llis testimony afterward was that his sales were steady and his profits satisfactory 7 , while many a merchant around him who 4 ‘could not afford to advertise” saw his clerks stand idle behind the counters. A financial panic does not mean that no money is in the country, and those who hoard it are just the ones to be eager for “bargains” which a fall in prices holds out. But to buy they must know where to buy, and the merchant who tells them will re ceive their cash. 6iaF“ A gentlemen in the north end of town has a babv at his house. It is the finest baby in Giles county, of course, and its papa is very proud of it. lie was down in town the oth er day in a crowd, when he saw the nurse going across the street with a baby veiled to protect it from the cool winds that have lately set in, when he called to her to come there. -Now,” says he to the crowd, “i’ll show you that baby that I’ve beeu bragging of, and if you don’t say it s the best look ing baby iu town, and the image of it’s papa, I’ll treat.” By this time the nurse had arrived, and he called her to him, took the precious little darl ing set it upon his knee, and saying, “now, its papa’s dot it,” he raised the veil, when, horror of horrors ! it was the blackest, slickest little African you ever saw. lie dropped it, mo tioned to the crowd to follow, went in to the nearest saloon and laid a V on the counter, saying, “Boys, just drink that out,’ and while the sugar was be ing stirred, he slipj>ed out the back door, and the scenes that knew him once, will-know him no more until the boys forget to say, “now it’s pa pa’s dot it ” —Pulaski Citizen. A Youth in love thus addressed his inamorata : “Loveliest vision, as my eyes rest upon thy seraph-like form, my soul is tilled with the scintillating fancies of the past. O ! lovely Dido, dost love the humble suitor that craves the faintest glimmer from the meridian rays of thy young heart’s affection ?O l angel fresh from the burnished streets of Paradise, clad iu the halo of the queen of night, dost pity the faithful Troilus who stands before the ?” and gently the maiden answered with a heavenly sigh, faint as the night wind : “Go West young man, and give us a rest.” »<•.— Green should be the prevailing coK or tor bed hangings and window drapei ▼. CARROLLTON, GEORGIA. FRIDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 28. 1873. From the Augusta Constitutionalist. Gen, Toombs’ Speech. Washington, Ga., Nov. 4. On Tuesday, Nov. 4th, Judge Pot tle adjourned Wilkes Superior Court at twelve o’clock, to allow General Loombs whatever time he might desire to respond to a special request of his fellow citizens in a speech, giving his views of the numerous evils permeating tne body politic and ramifications of every line of business throughout the country and laying the wasting hand of death upon the very vitals of liber ty in the name of peace and the best interest of mankind. The speaker remarked of the finans cial policy of the Federal Government that it was rotten and full of evil, and end evil only ; that the Government had usurped all the banking privileges of the country, in the previous enjoy ment of which the people of the United States had grown to be pros perous, happy and great. Under the present system of banking privileges and prohibitions, corrupt Federal of ficials have in their power to manipu late the Government currency as often as the speculative impulses of their base hearts may prompt them to con spire with the pondering money changers of the land in creating finan cial panics for the purpose of involving all in one common disaster, that they may build up colossal fortunes upon the ruins of commerce and the mis fortunes of the people. The currency of the Government could not he for ced beyond a marine league from the American shore. It had no recogniz ed value as the basis of a circulating medium among the nations of the earth. It had upon its face the stamp of coercion, uttering wherever seen the declarations of its inherent weak ness. Its purchasing power is dcriv ed from arbitrary law without which it would not be worth the paper now carrying its false assertions of value to every hamlet and fireside through out this broad laud. The planters of tiie South are forced to buy their sup plies at the inflated prices induced by specious currency, and compelled to sell their cotton at the rates of Eus ropean markets, where the onerous protective tariff of the Federal Govern ment has well nigh placed a perpetual inhibition upon all commercial inter course with the people of these vari ous countries. A just and sufficient tariff for the purposes of revenue only, a repeal of the present national bank laws, a re-enactment of the ante beilum bank ing privileges—by the Legislatures of the different States.—with specie as the basis of all paper currency, was regarded by the speaker as the onlv safe exit from the financial dangers which threaten to engulf the whole country in one common ruin. He thanked God for the mark of His retributive justice in bringing first to the altar of sacrifice and loss many of the financial magistrates of the land who sowed the wind for the purpose of cornering the interest of others, but were, now impaled upon the point of ruin by the pitiless blast of the whirlwind. The speaker re iterated his views with regard to the necessity of the next Legislature en acting a usury law. not only involv ing the offending party in the loss of both principal and interest, but sub jecting him to a severe physical punishment. It had been urged by many that currency of the country should be free. Yes. indeed, it is free —free only to dwell in the unhallow ed precincts of power, to be contract ed or expanded at the will of eurrupt combinations, against the best inter est of the people, and the good of the whole country. The evils of making cotton to buy corn and bacon were dwelt upon with great force. His advice to all who owed money in Augusta or elsewhere was to pay their debts as soon as pos sible. Strict honesty should be the fundamental rule of every ones life. Its rewards are above price, and can have no money value with any true man. The ravages of war, and the oppressions of Federal Government had driven the people from the paths of virtue, and the lands marks of lib erty for ten years previous to the war the silence within the walls of Wilkes county jail had never been broken by the tread of a fellon s footsteps.— Crime is now abroad in the land. It had sullied the ermine of Judges and bought Senators and Representatives, both State and Federal, with the mon ey stolen from the people in the be trayal of trust. It had bargained for Governors of States as easily as sheep could be bought in market places, nothing different but the prices, It had enlisted the power of the Govern ment at W ashington iu dragooning sovereign States into the service of its unnumbered votaries. Yet the South ern people are told to let politics alone and make cotton for the theives and plunderers, investing the country with their ill gotton gains. He urg ed the necessity of combining as one man in behalf of good government administered by the intelligent ami honest men of the country. No peo ple will work long when they are con tinually robbed of the fruits of their labor. Call your country meetings, ius struct your Senators aud Representa tives to vote for a convention ot the people to abolish the present State Constitution, and revise and adopt the old fundamental law of the State under which the people would be free from the evils incident to the long terms of office allowed the Governors, Judges, and Legislators at the present time. Since buying had become the rule with the rings and railroad monopolies, the speaker was in favor of annual elections of the Legislature, aud a Senator from each county instead of forty as the appointment now stauds, for the reason that it would be more difficult to buy a large than a small number ot men, aud if they did suc ceed in buying them he wanted to ar range it so that they would have to pay heavily and often. You wish to hear something about the Granges. There are many ques tions you must consider in your search tor remedies against the great politi cal wrongs afflicting the country which should never be discussed in secrecy. It is important beyond every oth er object to be accomplished, that the honest intelligent men of the country should be elected to administer the government in all its branches, from j Lbe greatest to the humblest officer in the land. You are cursed with treach ery and corruption in high places and low, but secret political parties are dangerous to the liberties of the peo*. pie. Take counsel together as to the I best modes of conducting your farm ing interest; buy anywhere you can, get goods the cheapest, and sell your j produce in the most profitable market to be found. There is no conflict of interest between any of the honest pursuits of mankind. God in the economy of nature, never made a law in morals, science or commerce to chafe one against the other. The best interest of the merchant and planter are naturally de[>endent one upon the other. Good Government is the great panacea for all the evils affecting the people with unnumbered wrongs. The foregoing is a feeble imperfect sketch of the speech ot Gen. Toombs, given to the country in the interest of reform from the errors of the past. W. M. S. —— . Too Much Killing.— We were im pressed with the conviction that there is too much manslaughter in Georgia, and a great deal of hanging will be necessary before it is stopped. The laws for the protection of everything from a chicken cock, down to the fath er of a family, are not enforced. The courts are too dilatory—tooindulgent to criminals. It as an awful thought when any honest man gets up in the morning that some drunken rowdy may kill him before night, and leave his wife a widow and his children fatherless. It is time that public opinion were aroused on this subject, and a radical reform were introduced. When a man kills another priiua face he is to be hung as a matter of course. Life for life, an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth. Bnt just now it seems impossible to make out a case of murder, though foul murder runs riot. We trust the juries who let off the red handed assassin scot free may be murdered themselves instead of somebody else. Men ot Georgia, it is time to awdke—time to enforce the laws It is time for firmness and severity. —Telegraph and Messen ger. First Love, People talk so much about young love, first love, being so strong, &c. Just as if there was any difference be tween first and last love. It is my opinion last love is Just as sweet and strong as first love Love will be love, and you can’t make anything else out ot it. A man of thirty, or even forty, loves just as much as one of twenty ; more for his feelings are strong, and he would place his love on a firmer basis. The heart has its changes and seasons as everything else has ; “none,” however says a wri ter, ‘‘which resembles its first fresh ness and purity” perhaps that is so, but where the freshness is lost in a second love there are strength and truth gained. Less romance, but a more solid ground-work tor a life’s happiness. There is more of the ideal about first love no doubt, but by the time you experience a second lore you be come more rational. Every year we live, more wisdom will have mingled in our dream of love until it becomes less unselfish and more reasonable.— First love is two thirds i magi Eat ion anyway. I know a dark-eyed girl who thinks she is passing through the ordeal of first love now ; but in a years will look back at this love and laugh. I often here girls express great hor ror at the idea of being a second wife, tor they should not be loved so well as the first. That is wrong ; second Icve is often stronger, if anything, in its newly-awakeued bliss, than the first. The birds always sing the trees wave a richer fol liage, roses are more beautiful, the air is fresher, wheu we are iu love, no mattei if it be a first second, or third experience. Good Advice.— ln these times of business depression and consequent stringincy in the money market, the financial situation can be improved if every one will pay promptly his little bills. The Philadelphia Ledger puts it in this way : “110w 7 ever small amount, pay it at once ; the party to whom it is due may be waiting for it to enable him to make up the re quisite amount to pay a much larger sum. There is no estimating the good that may result from the payment of a single dollar. As often as once in a week every one incur ring little debts should overhaul his accounts and make special efforts to pay all, or as many of them as pos sible. No one should postpone pay raent from mere indifference. Noth ing will so soon aud so effectually remedy the difficulties experienced want ot currency as this, and it is a remedy that will cost little ot effort and no inconvenience. On the con trary, there will follow thelivelest sat isfaction to all, to those who pay as well as those who receive. Reader, look to it in your own case. The best substitute for character— cheek. Communion in Mr Beecher s Church A reporter thus describes the ad ministration of Communion in Plym outh Church on Sunday last : Before the pulpit, and fitting the semi circular line of the front pews, was a long, narrow table, covered with a white cloth. Upon it stood two large silver wine pitchers, twenty silver goblets and ten silver plates with broken bread upon them. The utensils were massive and haudsome. “Before you,” said Mr. Beecher, “is spread a souvenir oft he death)of Christ, a memorial of the God who sympa thizes with you in all your sufferings. I invite nobody to participate iu this rite because lie is a member of a church. It is free to everybody who desires to accept Christ.” After a hymn and a benediction those who did not wish to partake of the. Communion retired. When they had done so fully two thousand pels sons were left. In the two front pews sat the ten deacons. Mr. Henry C. Bowen occupied a seat close behind them. Mr. Beecher prayed earnestly for a blessing upon the ensuing cer emony. Then he handed the plates of b; ead to the deacons, who passed through the congregation with them. The most exact system prevented un necessary delay. The ]>lates were handed to the persons sitting in the ; ends of the pews, aud passed along j until they reached the ends at the opposite aisles, when, instead ofbeing returned through the same numerous hands, they were taken by other dear* cons and passed back along the next unserved pews. Thus the multitude was decorously and rapidly supplied. During this Mr. Beecher sat behind the table with bis head bowed.— There was almost oppressive stillness, j and as the worshippers ate the em blematic bread they covered their eyes and prayed silently. The light from the half burning chandelier iu the ceil ing mingled with that which came in through the few open blinds with a curiously w eird effect as seen by tbe spectators who looked dow 7 n from the galleries When the deacons had distributed the bread they resumed their seats, and were served by the pastor, who then, after a brief prayer, filled the goblets from the great pitch ers. The wine was passed in the same w 7 ay that the bread bad been, and a collection for the poor followed the Communion. Hon. Augustus It. Wright thus presents his view's in the Atlanta Con stitution on the necessities ot a Con stitutional Convention : The preser vation of order makes a convention a necessity. Government cannot be maintained under our present Consti tution and the prevalent corruption.— Mr. Jefferson was correct w hen he said Republican institutions required a frequent recurrence to popular elec tions. Corruption may pervade tbe masses ; never so completely, bow 7 ever, as the men who use them to climb into our power. The present Constitution is the work mainly of vagabonds and scallaw'ags. Its pur pose, the prolongation ot power to plunder; Government w 7 as regarded by them as a machine w 7 ith w'hich to rob capital aud oppress labor. We need the Constitution of our fathers, with a few restrictions. 1. A prohis bilion of the State to go further in di-bt except in case of war. 2. A pro hiMtion of her credit to any corpora tion of individuals for any purpose whatever. No law 7 can be framed that will tie the hands of the wicked. The fires of hell cannot bind them to truth and honor. Let the Govern raent protect us in person and prop erty, and leave each man to “work out his own salvation with fear and trembling” We’ll bluff the rogues and vagabonds. 3. City corporations must be confined to the police of their cities. Earnest men must be permit ted to control their capital and labor. Popular votes to build railroads, wa terworks, factories, colleges for reli gious sects et id omne genus, onehalf of which is composed of Africans “just out of slavery,” and one-third of the remainder of scheming Demo cratic and Radical politicians will break down ultimately, and not very remotely, any people upon earth. 4. City and quasi county corporations should be made to pay as they spend 5. The judicary should be thorough* ly remodeled and put beyond the tin kering and dram drinking lawyers and lager beer politicians. 6. The pay of members of the Legislature should be constitutionally defined,— The idea of our fathers that the rep resentatives of the people are men of honor, is not true of this generation. “Beware of dogs,” is a good maxim in State as well as church. “Salary grabs” w ill continue if you leave the treasury open. The above sugges tions, I think, are cardinal. Dele gates fresh from the people would know. Let no one suppose these measures can be adopted without great exertion. There are immense pecuniary interests on the other side. Few 7 they may be,.w r ho live “by ma king silver shrines for the great God dess Diana,” but there is a “power” of them who worship at the “silver shrines,” made out of the people’s money. — ... Self-Reliance. —The old burden of humanity which we all have to wear more or less, must be heaviest in those whose mental powers are earliest and most widely unfolded. We may grow up under the sheltering care of parents and kindred ; we may lean on parents and friends ; we may be amused by ac quaintances ; we may be made happy by those we love ; yet to this conclu sion do w r e come at last man is turn ed back on himself.— Goethe. Scotch snuff, if put in the hold where crickets run out, w ill destroy them. Children Love Your Moth ers. It is related of the celebrated Sears geaut S. Prentiss, of Mississippi, who, at twentyssix years ot age had achiev ed a national reputation, that, from the time he left his home in Maine, to | the year of his death, he never failed ; to write to his mother on the first of January of each year, and his let ters are most elegant specimens of fil ial affection. A thousand miles away item her, or nearer, at Washington amid the plaudits ot the multitude who looked upon him almost as a modern liienzi, his thoughts turned to his mother At the height ot his fame, an old lady sought an introduc tion to him and said, “how proud should be the mother who has such a son.’ He instantly replied, “how 7 proud should be that son who has such a mother as I have.” Nor was he less kind to his sisters and broth ers. lie was devoted in his atten tions to them and his letters to his sis ters are modelsJof elegance. He ed ucated his youngest brother for the ministry, in Europe. The following is a specimen, in part, of his letters to his mother. This was written in his thirty-ninth year, and {when he was at the zenith of his fame, lie died at the age of forty-two : New Orleans, Jan. Ist 1848. My dear , beloved Mother : Again it becomes my pleasant duty to wish you a happy New Year, w 7 hich I do most truly and affectionately. I trust it will pass with you happily and bright ly and free from the clouds and troub les ot the past year. Notwithstanding the irreparable loss we have experienced in the death of our dear, beloved Abby, (his sister) still we have much to be thankful for and I hope mauy happy days are in store for you. God grant that you may live to see your grandchildren and great grandchildren grow 7 up around you and call you blessed, even as your own children love to do.— Dear Abby is now a saint in heaven, and the memory ol her virtues and goodness assuages our grief at her de parture. I wish we could see you to day ; how grateful it would be to our feelings to tender our congratulations in person, to kiss you with filial affec tion, and to present our dear little ones for your blessing. But we are with you in feeling, if we cannot be in person. Mary (his wife) has al ready written you, and the children would write too if they knew 7 how 7 . I would give a great deal if you could see them, they are so healthy, so in telligent, and so pretty ; and then they love their grandma Prentiss as much as if they had know 7 u her ever since they were born. They talk about you every day ; at least Jennie and Geordie do ; little Seargy, of course, cannot talk yet, though he tries very hard, and makes a kind of gibberish, which, may be very good sense it one could understand it. * * * * Tell Anna (a sister) I wish her and her sw r eet children and good husband, a happy new' year ; and I hope be fore it is through to see you all.— God bless you, my dear mother, and protect you always. Your affectionate son, Searceant. The Home of Mrs Lee- The Alexandria (Va ). Gazette, allu ding to the recent death of Mrs. Gen. Lee, thus touchingly refers to the cru el injustice of which we regiet to say our government has been guilty of practicing tow r aids the venerable wo> man w'ho has now passed away : “For several years she had fondly cherished the hope of ending her days at Arlington, the parental mansion— her own-home and the home of her children. There she was born, there she had been married, and there her children was born, Naturally all her affections clustered around this, to her, hallowed spot, and as years rolled on, she became moreand more anxious to return to the old homestead, where lie buried the remains of a devoted father aud mother, and w’here she had hoped to have peacefully surrendered her spirit to the God who gave it, surrounded by all the recollections of happier days. But iu this she was doomed to disappointment that, added to her recent heavy bereavements, fi nally broke down a shattered consti tution and death ensued. She felt keenly the wrong imposed upon her by the government, that without the snadow of right or justice, but merely the strong arm of power withheld from her, her own aud her children’s in violation of the very laws under which the property was first seized, and few there are iu the laud, we should think, that w ill s not regret that this injustice was perpetrated, and who shall not now be willing that restitution sfyali be made to the descendants of her w'hose soul has passed to a hap pier home. Don’t Blow Down the Chimney.— The great majority of the kerosine accidents are undoubtedly caused by carelessness. We are told by a gens tleinan who is well informed on the subject that it is exceedingly dan gerous to put out the flame of a ker. osine lamp by blowing down the chimney. The space between the oil and the* top of the lamp is filled with gas, to which there is great danger of the fire being communicated if a puff of air is forced suddenly down the chimney. W hile the light may be put out ninety-nine times in this manner w ith impurity, the hundreth may prove fatal. The proper xvay to extinguish the flame is to turn down the wuck very low, and then blow out the small light from below the chim ney. This advice, if followed, may save many accident*.
