On Tuesday, in pursuance of the notice given in the Times last week, a meeting of the citizens was held in the court house, the object being to consider the organization of a Confederate monument assos ciation. The meeting was called at rather a late hour, and quite a number of gentlemen who would doubtless have participated in the meeting had gone home. It was thought desirable that representa tive men,and especially Confederate veterans, from every part of the county should participate in the organization. To this end it was de cided after consultation among a number of those present that it was best to adjourn to some day during October court, and Tuesday of the first week of the term was fixed for the meeting. J. L. Cobb Esq., was asked to explain the ob jcct of the meeting and suggest the course outlined above, lie did so, taking occasion to pay a glowing tribute to the valor, patriotism and self-sacrificing spirit of the sons of Carroll, who, taking their lives in their hands, went out to fight the battles of the south. The bones of our brothers, fathers and sons have been, he said, for 20 years bleaching on the battlefields from Gettysburg to the Rio Grande, and from the mountains of Kentucky to the At> lantic and the gulf. Marble shafts have long marked the resting places of the distinguished leaders of both sides, but no memorial tab let tells that these too, with equal courage and equal chivalry, died for their country. Let them be no longer neglected. In honoring them we shall do honor to ourselves. Let us erect this monument that the children of future generations may be pointed to it, as the sad but thrilling narrative of the dar ing deeds of our dead heroes is told again and .again, as long as the fire of patriotism fbrgets not to thrill the bosoms of Carroll’s living sons. The speaker hoped that every one present would act as a commit tee to bring the matter to the at tention of ‘ the people until the time proposed foi the meeting, and that if every citizen of Carroll would contribute a dollar it would rnise an amount sufficient to build the monument. At the conclusion of Mr. Cobb’s remarks Judge Ilariis was called for. lie said he fully approved the plan of postponing action until October court, and moved that the meeting adjourn to that time, and, no objection be ing offered, announced the meeting adjourned. * , * » «. Immigration. Wc learn through our exchanges that the usual batch of nonsense about cncourging immagration, has been or will be at an early day laid before the legislature. Os course it comes under the auspices of the State agricultural society. It is a very common practice with those who have a job to put through, by which they expect to derive benefit to themselves, to get the endorse ment of the State Agricultural society. Sometimes it possibly hap pens that they get themselves ap pointed as a committee of that so ciety. Then if one opposes the grand scheme they forthwith begin to shout, oh you're an enemy of agriculture! O, Agriculture, what schemes of public plunder arc pre petrated in thy name! Do the far mers desire immigration? Would it rejoice them to sec a mixed horde of Irish, Dutch, Swede, Norwc gian and Polish laborers pouring over the borders of Georgia? If bo, it may as well be • told them at vnee that State aid will never bring them to stay, and every dollar epent in that direction is that much added to their already heavy bur den. So long as corn sells for 25cts in the West and in the South, and other food material in propor tion, just so long, in spite of any State aid, will the.tide of immigra tion continue to flow westward.— The streams, of emigration have always run in the channels ofcheap living,under ordinary circumstances and they always will. Piint as many circulars and pamphlets as yon may, setting forth the advantages of Georgia, and distribute them among the crowded throngs of Europe, and a single copy of quotations of prices of provisions in Georgia and a western State will determine the emigrant’s line of March in favor of the latter. When it can be shown that every farmer in Georgia, who cultivates his own land, has his own smoke house, crib and barn stored with provisions and proven der of his own production sufficient for all hands and live stock on the farm, and some to spare to non producers at moderate prices, then and not till then will a pamphlet to encourage emigration he worth the paper it is printed on. Another thingin our humble judge ment, the farmers of Georgia may do to encourage immigration or, which is far better, to retain our native population; and that is to sec that our system of public edu cation is improved by extending the term to at least 4 months. A tech nological school is a good thing to have, but it will never draw an emigrant who is a laborer to Geor gia. Nor will it strike him very favorably to tell him that we have a state University where tuition is free to all who can pay their board and other expenses; even the facts that the departments of law and medicine are alike free to all and that his property will be taxed to pay the interest on the funds of the Uni versity, will not go far to induce a laborer either to come or stay.— But when you can tell him that while this is true his own children will have the benefit of four months free tuition every year, that is something apt to strike him favor ably. “Blessed, are They Who Mourn” Under this caption an anonymous writer, commenting on the tone of the press, North and South, on the death of Gen Grant, takes occasion bo pour out his gall on several southern gentlemen of distinction who have, by some means, fallen under the ban of his terrible dis pleasure. There arc thousands of Confed erate veterans in Georgia—many of them citizens of Carroll, whose deep indignation will be stirred on reading the foul and venomous diatribe, which we copy below, against him under whom they fought, at whose word they wore ready to face danger and death, and their confidence in whom never wavered. “We see that General Johnston is to be a pall bearer at the grand circus (for it has come to that ), Appropri ate in every way. No better selection could have deen made. Here is an other instance of undeserved reputa tion. Will seme one, any one every one, tell us what Johnston did during the war between the States for the South? Is it not a question now with each thinking man that if Johnston had remained on the other side, or had he been disabled sooner, that the success of the South would have been assur ed? He burned eleven miles of bag gage (valuable beyond computation) when he retreated from Manassas. He retreated from the Peninsula. He retreated (and demoralized his army) from Dalton. He retired in a carriage from At lanta, leaving Hood in ignorance of his (Johnston’s) calm plan for the annihilation of Sherman. Name, who can one act of a great general that he ever conceived or carried out.— He permitted the man Sherman to insult Mr. Davis and no doubt chuck led. Well, let us hope that as a pall bearer he will be a success.” Coming from an anonymous source such language would be unworthy of notice, but for the fact that it appears in a paper which is recog nized as the leading journal of cen tral Georgia, For this reason we propose to notice it. We have heretofore observed with some surprise, that when a gall bag was to be emptied on the de voted head of Gen. Johnston, it was intimately associated with some fulsome praise of Mr. Davis. Accordingly our anonymous writer precedes the paragraphs above quoted with ibis little puff of sweet incense: “What had Mr. Davis done that he, too, was not considered by this man of so much heart and sense? Why could not this same humanity have been extended to the finest gentleman on this continent?” We do not doubt that Mr. Davis is quite as much disgusted by such effusions as other gentlemen are and we have no disposition to de tract one ioto from the chaplet of honor which his admiring country men have given him. But we arc unwilling that a statement which charges Gen. John ston with the responsibility of the destruction of army stores ar. Man asas and other points in northern Virginia in 1861, shall be sent broad cast over Georgia in the col umns of a daily paper, without cor rection, even though such correc tion may make it appear that even Mr. Davis was sometimes at fault in his military judgement. What are the facts? The flowing extract from a letter of Col. R. G. Cole, chief commissary of the aimy, written to Gen. Johnston Feb. 7th 1871, will throw some light on the question. “By your direction I requested the Commissary-general to increase the supply of provisions to an amount sufficient tor fifteen Jays’ rations- for the army. In a short time I discov ered that the accumulatian was too large, and reported the fact to you, and by your direction 1 telegraphed, on the 4th of January 18G2, to the Commissary-general that you desir ed all stores sent from Richmond stopped at Culpepper Court-House.— At this place 1 had, by your orders, established a reserve depot. Supplies continued to come from Richmond, Lynchsburg,Staunton, and Fredericks bvrg. I requested the Commissary general bp telegraph on the 16th of January 9 to have the shipments to Manassas stopped. On the 291 h, 1 repeated the request, indicating that the amount at Manassas was nearly double that required. It will be observed that as early as Jan. 4th the Commissary general was informed that General Johns ston desired the shipment of sup plies to Manassas stopped; that no attention was paid to this request until it had been repeated on the 16th and 29th, when the amount of supplies had been doubled by the contiuous shipments in spite of Gen. Johnston’s request. But this is not all. The government had not only thus encumbered the ar my with a million and a half pounds of supplies which it did not need, for which there was not suf ficient storage, and to guard which added heavily 7 to the burdens of the rank and file and largely .reduced the effective strength for opposing the enemy, but it had also estab lished, without consulting the gen eral commanding, . a depot for meat curing at Thoroughfare Gap, and had accumulated there about two million pounds of meat. Gen. Johnston was in no degree responsible for the accumu lation of this Immense surplus on a frontier line. It was done against his views repeatedly ex pressed and as often disiegarded. It is a part of history that as early as before the middle of February the Government began to contemplate a retrograde movement. Mr. Da vis was fully informed of the cons dition of the roads in northern Virginia at this season of the year and of the consequent difficulty of moving supplies. The government, having burdened the army at the front with a vast surplus of sup plies, ordering the withdrawal of the army,failed to supply the neces sary means for the removal of that surplus. On the 23rd of February Gen Johnston issued orders for the removal of the military stores, and the work was carried on with all the means of transportation available to the chief of the com missary and quartermaster’s depart ments of the army, until the Sth of March. All the supplies that should have been at the front, and more than half of the large surplus which, if Gen. Johnston had been consulted would never have been there, were brought away, while about ono third of the abandoned stores was already damaged and unfit for use. The idea of Joe Jonston abandoning or destroying unnecessarily anything of value be longing to the government is sinr ply an absurdity. No. general ever led an army who exercised more care or evinced more skill in sav ing public property, than he has throughout his entire military ca reer. The statement that Gen. John ston demoralized the army on the retreat from Dalton, needs no ref utation. There are perhaps yet more than 10,000 survivors of that army who arc ready to testify that the morale of the army improved ‘ from the time Johnston took com mand until lie was relieved; that the order relieving him was a heav ier blow, and bad a more demoral izing effect on the soldiers than a lost battle would have had with Joe Johnston still in command. Tnat they wore in perfect fighting trim, ready to meet the foe whenever their beloved commander gave the signal, the battles they had fought against such overwhelming odds under his leadership, arc silent but unimpeach able witnesses. /Xs to other flings and inuendcs in the comunnication of our name less writer, it is only necessary to say that it as eminently proper that Joe Johnston should be one of the pall bearers at Gen Grant’s funeral, as it is that Gen Fitzhugh Lee should act as an aide of Gen Hancock at the funeral ceremon ies, —both alike fitly representing the masses of the Soutehern sol diery who, having laid down there arms, held no lingering resen resentments against honorable foes who fought, as they had, for what they deemed the right. —»» • City Court Proceedings.

Every newspaper publisher is cursed with an occasional subscri ber whose soul seems to have been made of the fag end of material, and a scrimp pattern at that. We are always thankful when such lift themselves from our list. The sooner the better. They generally refuse to take the paper out of the postoffice after reading it for two or three years without paying a cent for it —a plain steal with in sult added —or else they move away without saying a word or paying a nicklc. Some others all at once discover that they never ordered the paper, never wanted it, or re ceived it irregularly —not more than half the time —won’t pay for it. In either case it is a cowardly stab, such as no honest man would be guilty of. The proper way to stop a paper is to pay up first a.nd then stop it afterwards. If you are a gentleman, don’t owe a cent, walk into the office, look at the gentle man full in the eye, and tell him you don’t wish it, or can't afford to keep it longer. If you are on the hog plan, chuck it back into the post office and let it be marked “refused.”—Ex. An Answer Wanted.

D. Appleton & Co. by the Knicker bocker Guide Company, and con solidated with the Knickerbocker Ready - Reference Guide. The consolidated publication, the first number of which is the issue for July. 1885, is called the Travelers’ | Ready-Reference guide. It will be slightly larger than Appleton’s guide, but will be sold for the same price (25 cents), and is the only rational railway guide which is sold at that price. It contains many features which will commend it to the traveling public. The July number contains a Tourists’ guide in addition to the usual mat ter. The department of “Anecdotes and Incidents,” a popular feature of Appleton’s Guide, will be re tained. The book will be issued by the Knickerbocker Guide Co., from the office of the National Railway Publication Co., at 46 Bond street, New York, the latter company being the well known publishers of the Official Hail wav Guide, the standard work. From this fact it will be seen that the publishers possess unrivaled facilities for ob taining early and accurate informa tion respecting all transportation matters.
