I9*A rare literary treat is to be of*
sered to tho citizens of Cartersville and
Bartow county, at the Methodist E.
Church South in this place, on next
Wednesday night. The Rev. W. P.
Harrison, D. D., of Wesley Chapel,
Atlanta, Ga., will deliver his able.and
profound Lecture upon ‘‘Woman,”
which has called forth the eulogies
both of the press and people of that
city. The subject itself, abstractly
considered, to say nothing of the elo
quence of the learned lecturer, should
call out the populace. The object of
the lecture is two fold, to pay a deser
ved tribute to the woith of “Woman,”
and raise funds to repair and render
comfortable the House of God. Who
can refuse to lend his influence and
assistance in so noble a cause? Let
•every lady and gentleman signify their
ti<rn o( lln« praiseworthy effort
by turning out on this occasion. JSee

«*We hear it occasionally suggest*
ed, by the timid, that Cartersville is
overdoing herself in the way of trade.
It is feared that to a many business
houses have gone, and arc still, going
up for the good of business men gener*
ally. Never was there a greater mis
take, in our humble judgment: The
more goods the more trade. Merch*
ants* profits, it is true, will be « little
shorter, but they will only attract the
people.to the maiket, by selling cheap,,
and in the end sell more goods. Com.
petition is the life of trade. And it
should be borne in mind that business
is rapidly being concentrated in the
towns. Before the war nearly every
law-ground and cross roads in the
country could sport a heavy stock of
goods. Not so now. Country stores
are very insufficiently supplied with
goods, generally. People love to and
will flock to the towns. There they
can find a variety of stocks to select
from, and, then, they want to see the
railroad and post themselves up with
the news of the day. Cartersville has
got the country to back her up, and the
business of the place must necessarily
be heavy. Our farmers are working
with a will and zeal heretofore un~
known in the history of this country.
Never before were the farmers so in*
dustriously engaged, at this season of
the year, in preparing their lands for
another crop, and never were the lands
so well prepared before in this section.
The unapproachable Brinley turning
plow has become an indispensable
fixture on almost every farm, and a
household word in almost every fami
ly. Never before were hangers-on and
idlers so scarce hereabouts; every*
body seems to be trying to make a liv*
ing. With such a hive of industry a
ronnd us, we can say to the merchant
bring on your goods, and to the farmer
bring on your produce.

Mr. Editor —lt has been our priv
ilege foe twenty-five years to exercise
the right of suffrage, and it has been
our custom to do this without regard
to the opinions of political demagogues,
or aspirants, who are not unfrequenUy
gove mod by motives which are far
removed from purity, and the best in
terests of the country t but as it is gen
erally considered a sort of index to ths
wishes of such as would perch them
selves in high places, to find a few ar'
tides in the news papers, manifesting
an inordinate desire to see something
done for the good ol the country,
your Orator proposes to set aside in the
outset, any pretext for the charge.
He is one of the many who are inel
igible and can have no voice upon the
momeiuious question now agitating the
public mind. Our motto is Recon
struction, no Repudiation of Public or
private debts. Vote for the best men
you can get lor the Convention.
Confie up at once and liquidate Your
Mill Accounts and others—

And hope for a better day to come
When our troubles will not be bur

I9*Our friend. Dr. A.-S.-Mason, of

to thhi office, on Wednesday last, quite
a suspicious looking package, with the
following inscriptiqn upon the wrapper;
•*A. 8» Mason to Smith Sf Milam, Ed
itors of the Express, Cartersville, Ga.
Printers’ Ink—shake, wxll beforejusing.”
Upon the removal of the wrapper the
following label revealed the secret: —
“W. S. Bancroft’s Champagne Cider,
Anchor Brand, New York Oar
vii, misunderstanding directions, went
out and like to have shook all the wool
off the top of his head, and retamed
with eyes sparkling like two diamonds,
in time to find out that while he was
doing the “shaking” somebody else
was doing the “using,” while George
stood eyeirg the vessel of departed
spirits, his eyes very much resembling
two burnt holes in a blanket. The
Junior looked as bright as the spark*
ling beverage which he had just “*7t
haled," while the Senior threw him
self back upon bis dignity and looked
cheerful, All hands pronounced the
Cider very good and Dr. Mason in
deed a clever gentleman. Thank you,
Doctor, for this manifestation of esteem
for the printer.
A competent teacher with means to erect a
suitable building, will find a more eligible lo
cation in this town than can be found else
where in the state of Georgia, Careful esti
mates represent the. population at about two
thousand, and the rapid influx of the same, to -
gether with the material already here, will give
a school of eighty to one hundred, scholars,
in the male department.

WuWe are rejoiced to learn that
our old, esteemed friend and former
countyman, Col. J. Watt Harris, now
of Huntsville, Ala., has purchased that
beautiful lot in front of the Presbyte
rian Church, formerly belonging to the
Leake estate, and has contacted for
the erection of a handsome residence
on that desirable site, with the view ol
again settling in our midst and identi
fying his interest with ours. We glad
ly welcome him back, and as many
more good citizens as can make it to
their interest to cast in their lots with
us. Cartersville is quite a thrifty lit

and is surrounded by a country that
cannot be surpassed anywhere, taking
it up one side and down the other.
Circular to all District Attorneys and
Marshals of the United States, and to
all their txspeclive Assistants and
Deputies , and to all persons holding
any official relation to the Attorney
General's office.
Attorney General’s Office, ) ♦
September 10, 1867. J
Sir—l herewith furnish you with an
official copy of the proclamation of the
President of the United States dated
the 3d instant, and in the ninety-second
year of American Independence.
This proclamation recites in brief the
obligations of loyalty to the republic,
and was intended to admonish you, in
common with all persons holding any
place of honor, trust or profit, civil or
military, at home oi abroad under t h e
United States of America, and all good
citizens thereof, that the Constitution
of their country is in force, and that
the Government thereunder, with its
several co-ordinate branches, legisla
tive, executive, andjudicial, is the only
lawful Government for this republic,
notwithstanding that many welb-mean
ing citizens have v ip consequence of
disturbing events that are now happily
past, come to look with indulgence
upon false and dangerous pretences that
the Constitution is not the supreme law
of the land, and also the most authentic
proof of the will of the people ; but
that there are powers of government
outside of the Constitution which may
lawfully violate that instrument and the
laws made in pursuance of it.
All citizens of the United States owe
allegiance to that nationality, as the
same is embodied and organized in the
Constitution and such amendments
thereof as, having become expedient in
the progress of the country, have been
duly made and ratified. But in a
special manner atl persons holding of
fice under the United States are sol
emnly sworn to support that Constitu
tion, and also to bear true faith and
allegiance' to the same, and to the
Government thereunder; and for the
greater number of such incumbents at
this time it is known that they have
been retained or have'-been placed
their respective offices upon express
assurances of zealous loyalty to the
Union, which is taken*-try aiiTtren to
mean a cheerful obedienee to the proper
civil authority of the country,- Bui far
the functions of your office, which, are
directly connected with tt*e enforce
ment of the laws, a lively sense of their
sanctity and authority is anticipated.
You are requested to ackn ow
Receipt of this communication. Very
respectfully, ycur obedient servant,
