He refers to the entire Western and Southwestern country to bear hitn testimony to the truth of the assertion, that in no case whatever will it fail to cure, If the directions are strict ly followed and ca ried out. In a great many cases a single dose has been auflicieut for a cure, and w hole families have been cured by a single bottle, with a per fect restoration of the general health. It is, however, prudent, and in every ease more certtin to cure, if its use is continued in smaller doses for a week or two af ter the disease has beer, checked, more especially in difficult and long standing cases. Usually, this medi cine will not require any aid to keep the bowels in good order; should the patiert, however, require a cathartic medicine, after having t-.ken three or four doses of the Tonic, a single dose of BULL”', VE 1 LIA BLE PAM’LY PII,LB will be sufficient.

Ail your correspondent asks, is, to “render unto Cij’sar the things that belong to Cce sir.” That Judge Parrott has done his whole duty in the premises, your correspondent readily admits; but why so much ado in the public prints? He is, in Scriptural phrase, still an ‘un profitable servant.’ All his predeces sors, like him, were required by the Legislature to give, in special charge, the Road law to the Giand Jury.— This is all that Judge Parrott has done, and all that he could have done. How comes it to pass that the Public Roads are attracting so much attention, and Judge Parrott the recipient of such glory? It is remarkable, Mr. Editor, how fortunate some men are, to receive the credit for acts, which, to a large degree, is justly duo others. By reference to the General Pre sentments of the Grand Jury, of the first week, for March Term, 18G9, light can be had, and Ccesar will be made manifest. The Grand Jury pre sented the Road Commissioners, and requested of His Honor, that the bar ren fig tree might stand fire months to see if it would bear fruit. Notwith standing the excessive drought, the Commissioners have brought forth fruit, to the honor and glory of Judge Parrott! Suppose the Grand Jury had winked at the Commissioners, and ignored the whole matter, as all previous Grand Juries have done, in what condition would your Public Roads be to-day ? Your correspond ent is of the opinion, that other mat ters would have been the subject of commendation, had the recommenda tions of the Grand Jury been heeded. Your correspondent desires to enlight en those who presume to enlighten the public, and not to say one word in dero gation of Judge Parrott. Allow one word more. The late ac tion of the Legislature, it is said, ex empts Students. This is an innovation upon an established rule, which is probably covered with the jurispru dence of Georgia. There should be no exemptions; in a few years, all the negroes will be at school, at the very season the roads are usually worked. Let men work or pay. Let us have it done without so much discrimination. “Justice.” Southern Soldiers. — If they were | not physically superior, the early asso ciations and habits of Southern men adapted them more quickly than Northern troops to the vicissitudes of the bivouac and battle-field. Famili arity with the use of arms; accustom ed to the woods; inured to the fatigues of the hunt; habits of command; reck lessness of life; an impel nous nature, quick to conceive and bold to execute; an intense individuality aid mercurial temperament—these were some of the characteristics which gave the South ern soldier an early advantage, and won for him even a tribute from his ! enemy. The following extract from a letter published in a New York paper at the beginning of the war, illustrates what has been said of this noble material. It is dated “Grenada, Miss., May; 1861:” “Take a nota of the company just about me. Its captain and first lieu tenant are prominent members of the bar, and oue of them a late United States consul to Cuba. In it you will find physicians and planters fifty years of age, and boys of sixteen, men of family and wealth. “The company next west is captain- | ed by on acting judge, and members i in its ranks are doctors lawyers, mer | chants and planters, some near fifty and some worth hundreds cf thous ands of dollars. Step into the neigh i borhood below me. Do you see that old man there with a head as white as ever men’s heads are, and with a eoun tenanoo that betrays a will no earthly : power can bend, yet mild, with a Sharp’s rifle in his hand and a blanket on his arm ready to march to the de fence of his country ? That mania a miuist>‘.r of the Gospel, who for fifty 1 years Ims bowed at tho foot-stool of sovereign mercy. His three sons, his | only son-in-law—at. eminent lawyer anti the only grandson old enough, are all mingling in the strife. “A few days since, as the first lieu tenant, orderly sergoai t and a few oth ers of the company al>out mo wore moving into muster, frith colors flying an 1 drum in hand, hey passed a plan tation where were two lads plowing in the field. When they saw tho Con federate flag waving in the breeze they stopped their horses, and mounting, dashed up the road to join. The old ins n, who was walking across the field towards the house, hastened back, and the negroes threw up their hats and shouted ‘lmrrah for the stars nnd bars.’ While conversing, a rifle crack was heard at the house. The lieutenant, knowing there was not a white male member of the family who was not ; present, asked, ‘who could be shooting j over there at the house?’ ‘Why.’ sail! the owner, ‘it’s the old woman gettin’ ready for war.’ ” [From Shoulder to Shoulder, “XIX Cent ary.’'’ G bowlers. —There are some people who are always in a moody, despond ent state of mind; who invariably take unfavorable views of matters, and are forever predicting misfortune. Never happy unless they are miserable, their social soii all overrun with weeds, their past a dream, their present a moral ache, and their future a swarm of shadows—in word or deed they con tribute nothing to the world but stunted thoughts and crab-like enter prises that are ever progressing back wards, Wauld to heaven that such people could get into she sunshine, or, dropping their green goggles of mel anehollv, imagine the earth to be something better than a gigantic sty, hung in crape and stirred by a perpet ual east wind. Just now our country abound in these chronic grumblers.— They growl at the situation; growl at the drops, growl at their neighbors, growl at their dinner, aye, growl at the very wind for whistling. They are about as cheerful a flash of moonshine on a tombstone, and live to little more purpose than as monumental records of the am mnt of acidity that bad na ture can distil into the corporosity of a human being. Out upon these billious pests. Give us rather the refreshness, confidence, simplicity and cheerfulness of Child hood. Give U3 rather the Lttle girl who said: •‘Now I lay me down to sleep, I pray Thee Lord ray soul to keep; If I should die ” and then drowsily falling into her mother’s arms said, “God know’s ’e rest, mama, I’s so sleepy.” Give us rather the tranquil ol 1 map, whose “age sits with decent grace up on his visage and worthily becomes his silver locks;” he who remembers that he once was young, and yet walks thoughtful on the silent, solemn shore of the vast ocean he must sail so soon. Ho at whose feet we can sit and listen, albeit, he is the solitary spokesman of the generations that have gone. Give us fim 11 y the man who sings at his work; whose heart beats to the music of his own cheerfulness; whose spirit is ail sunshine; graceful because glad; beautiful-becau.se bright. Out upon your growlers! ‘XIX Century San Francisco, September 3.—Yes terday the Democratic ticket through out the State was generally elected by decided majorities. The next Demo cratic Legislature will not ratify the 15th amendment. San Francisca returns a Democratic legislative delegation. Tennessee and the Fifteenth Amend ment. —While in Clmttannooga the other day, Gov. Senter is reported to have said in reference to convening the old Legislature, as urged by Maynard and his co-committeemen, to ratify the propo ed Fifteenth Amendment, “that he hoped his friends did not consider him either a fool or a knave.” Diseased Poultry.— Mr. Editor: — During the past summer, the chicken cholera has been raging with fearful destruction among the poultry tribe. Thousands upon thousands have fallen victims. I raised about one hundred and fifty out of which I have but twen ty left. They die at the rate of five or six per day—going to roost appaient ly fat and healthy. I know of one in stance where the cholera broke out in a poultry yard. They were immedi ately sent to market, and the last one sold, to save them from dying on their owner’s hands. Is it advisable to pur chase fowls until after the disease is stayed ?—At. Con. The lever tells an anecdote of j one of the substantial nteh of New Ha- j ten, who had been chosen to the dea- j con’s office, in one of the Congrega- j tional churches in that city, about the time that Augur’s Jeptha, now in the Yale art gallery, was the subject of general conversation. Two members of the church were discussing the new appointment, and one of them remark ed that he feared Deacon B. d'du’t know the “scripter” enough for a dea con. “Why,” said he* “I’ll prove it.” , The two, weighed down almost by the gravity of the matter in hand, proceed- 1 ed to the store of the worthy deacon, and asked him if he could tell who was this Jeptha and his daughter that everybody was talking about. The good deacon suspended work for a few’ i minutes to take a good think, and af ter pondering the question for a little ; while, slowly answered; “Jeptha—let me see—yes —Jeptha—why, he was —of course—yea, Jeptha— he was one of Napoleon's Mar-hak,' [frrtitn the Rome Cornier. “BILL ARB” ON THE PRESS EXCURSION. Mr. Henry I)'. (jnu-tfi My Diar Yevm Fiuenp—Yon ask me what I think of the Press Excur sion. As an old man full of years and full of honors (sich us they are ) X will ; say tint taking the whole concern in to consideration, from Bullock and : Rai.s Wright down, and up, to Ilul j lx.*rt and Fitch, I will sn\ that I have been seriously cotisldtrin whether tin Excursion were a success or not.— Some of the editors say they were sucked in. I suppose there were some i suckers along, and some sucking done, j but I do not think that kept it from being a suckeess. Now, Mr. Grady, I like editors— i they are a respectable family of peo ple, and I suppose cin'fc be bought— for a less price than other folks— eve rybody has his price, and so has edi tors, I suppose. I don't know what is the price of editors, but Ido know that they are frequently bought. I noticed that soon after they had visit ed our high mountains there was some trudin done. Some organs s< ll purty high, and f-ome less, accordiu to mu sic, and it is amusin to see em change their baas. Now, I’m iu for all the fun that can be enjoyed, and after a poor editor has wore out his brains and his body a lyn ou one side, 1 think its good for his constitution to turn over and lie on the other. ’ But all tins is furron to the subject. The question is were the Excursion a suckeess? I was thinkin that editors ; had things most tu much their own : way, but I think I don’t see really ; how it can be helped. They are their j own Judges and juries, and nobody | else can say a word agin em. Nobody j else has got a newspaper, and if any body else wanted to criticise or abuse em,* it would be too late to get it in. j I've got nothin special agin editors, on- ; ly this: They alt stand up to one anoth- j er, and can abuse everybody, andnobo- j dy lias a chance to fight back. There aintbut one thing makes era in: cl with one another, and that is for one feller to git more pap, or daddy, than the rest git. Then far flies, and hides are put on a pole. The whole unfortunate concern gits mad, and they remind ; one of a pig runnin oft with a year of corn, and all the litter squealin af.er j him. Editors say its high principles j aetuatin em, but a close observer says they are mad because the fortunate j individual sold out for a less price ! than they had been askin. But, to go back to the main point— were the Excursion a suckeess ? If that is the question, what constitues snekeess ? Why to carry one pint.— Well, I might say sarkastieally, that the excursion done that and a half pint over. But, seriously, if having a good time at other pc opie's expense j is_ a suckeess, then they had it, and j they enjoyed it, and we all enjoyed it, \ and have been feclin good about it cv-! cr since. We look back at it as a ; green Oasis, and have nothin to regret j about it, only that they did’nt stay lon ger. I like editors, and have •tdy ; made the foregoing caustic remarks i out of deference to the public, who j like slander. You need’t talk to me . about the Atlauta Slander Mill. watched human natur for several years, and my opinion is that every I man has got a small slander mill in his own bosom. Slander is as uecessa- | ry to good moral health as urnip i greens in the spring of the year. Its j right hard to live without it, and my opinion is that it does more good than ■ harm. I always feel kinder toward a man after I have abused him. It sore ter restores the equilibrium. But the question is, were the Excur sion n suekeess ? Fitch says it was, and Fitch ought to know, for what he didn’t see, and hear, and partake of, didn’t belong to the concern. Fitch developed as he went a ong. He drew his pints from history and Gali leo, and St. Paul, and Gaskill, and et ceteres. He says he was’nt demoral ized or contaminated by Bullock, or Glasscock, or Hancock, or any other rooster. Fitch is aujhonest ed itor—l don’t know what his price is, hut I’ll bet he don’t ask as little as some folks who put on more preten sions. Several of em don’t seem to know how to write about it. After gittin all the good of it, they say Well, we—had a—very —good—time -and —but —and —and Bullock and Hul bert— they—will, Ac ,so forth. Will ingham enjoyed it, and so did Fitcb, and they talk out of school. Fitch says there aint but two honest editors iD Georgia—one of whom he is which, and modesty forbids him to name the other. There is a heap of, competi tion for that other—and I db’n’t know who’ll git it, but I rather supposed it would rather be between Whitaker’s front and l)r. thirds rear* But, the question is, were the Ex- j cursion a suckcess ? One thing is cer- . tain, I’m in favor of bavin em once a year, just for the fun of the thing.— It was a galorious occasion, and done j the editors good. The troble with editors is that they can see other peo ple’s faults, biit they can’t see their own. Nobody ever writes about *in — every one praises the other’s papers They even say they are gratified that, you, Mr. Henry, have tied your time j and talents to such nn able sheet as Mr. Dwinell’s 1 Great spoons!—, I Good sakes ! as Col. Akin would say. But I shant make any .inuendoes. I’d ’ refer the matter to Fitch. Editors can write as fool things as anybody, : but nobody dare to tell em of it. r i lie : reason is nobody have got a paper to fight back in. * I’ve thought i would j buy a paper, but then if I did I sup pose I would jiue the fraternity, and stand up to my crowd. But the question is waathe Excursion a sucksess ? Hulbert says it was, and he is a man of parts.

S.~ It was not me that said our Rome papers contained about as much information as two last year’s jay bird’s nests. I would not have thought of such a thing.—The remark wus mud© by my friend Big J ohn. B. A. Vaf' The Chattannooga Enterprise reports that the saw r mills of North Georgia, that is, those run hy water, are all stopped on account of the low stage of the streams, and at a time, too, when lumber is iu great demand in that section. NO. 14. 1 Uocldcd Cause or Obdlilatf, It has always been a cardim 1 prin ciple of belu f with us, that the negro can manage a mule when a white man gives up the attempt in despair. He can get. a great deal more work out of Ins long eared friend, and feels a pecu liar gratification whenever a white man acknowledges tue fact, gome times, the negro and tho mule are at variance, and then, no matter how pressing our business may bo, we al ways feel disposed to stop and see t lie fun, for we know, that a flrst-class the atrical entertainment, a big circus, or a canvas exhibition, of which a “won derful big snake gentle-mm” is tho principal feature, are all h ft completely in the shade by tho indignant colloqui - al powers of a negro as he tries con clusions with his mule. We saw a case in Poplar street, l>e tweeti a country dai key and a slab sided iron grey mule, that it would he an act. of charity to suppose had enjoy ed u full feed for the six mouths last past. The driver was Saturday morn ing urging him to proceed as" far as the market-house, and the mule waa firmly resolved not to budge a single inch if ho could help if, and in our opinion he rather thought lie could, First the old fellow would coax, then he would jump off his wagon to beat him, then by a handful of fodder he would try to make him put out, but alt seemed ineffectual. Finally the negro l got mad in good earnest, and brand ishing his whip, he roared out: “You 1 * ! a nice mule, you is; setting yer ears ! back, is ycr; aint a gwine no wliar, I 'sped. Iso gwiue to see bout dat, no j use yer putting on airs wid me, yer : know, je.s cause you happen to come I ter town. Yer allcvs gwine to act di« ; ycr way ? S-a-y ! Git up dar, I tells !yer! You won’t trabble, will you.— i Now see hoar, jist quit yer foolin. I I got no time to projeck wid you, you | no count, long eared old villin, data wot you is, I ’dar I got huff n fftltild to knock you in do head wid a ax, you is so low-down, triflin, sarsy and mean ! dor's no doing nuffn wid yer. Bless | de lam, Use a big miiul to put a buu j die cr fodder under yon and set fire to , it. ’Spect that would make yer git up ; and git.” At this juncture the mule gave a quick, convulsive jerk, and breaking the rotten rope by which she was held, upset the poor old negro iu the dtislfc, and dashed violently up the street, eaving her sable friend to follow at his leisure. The laugh w’lidli follow* j e d this cessation of hostilities was cer ; tainly enjoyed b}’ none present more ■ than ourselves.—Journal A Messenger, The I) eaoon’s Proposal. —in tbs neighboring town of Hopkintorq lived a certain Deacon S.
