We copy the beginning of Presi dent Grau’t late Message to Congress, in regard to the Status of Georgia. — It- will be seen that he recommends that- the negro be re-seated, and the loth Amendment ratified, if it requires th i ad ministration of the test oath to doit “Let us have Peace.” To the Senate and House of Representa tives: In coming before you for the first time as Chief Magistrate of this great nation, it is with gratitude to the giv er of all good for the many benefits we enjoy. We are blessed with peace at home and without entangling alliances abroad to forebode trouble. With a territory unsurpassed in fertility, and of an area equal to tbe abundant sup port of five hundred millions of people; abounding in every variety of useful mineral in quality sufficient to supply tiie world for generations, exuberant crops, variety of climate adapted to the production of every sped is of earth’s riches, suited to the habits, tastes, and requirements of every liv ing thing; a population of 40.000,000 of free people speaking one language, facilities for every mortal to acquire education, institutions closing to no one the avenues to fame or any blessmg of fortune that may he coveted, free dom of the pulpit, press and school, revenue flowing into the National Treasury beyond the requirements of the Government. Happily, harmony is rapidly restored within our own borders, manufactures hitherto un known in our country are springing up in all sections, producing a degree of natural independence unequalled by any other power. These blessings and countless others are entrusted to your care and mine for safe keeping, for the brief period of our term of office. In a short time we must each of us re turn to the ranks of the people who have conferred our honors, and ac count to them for our stewardship.— I earnestly desire that ueither you nor I may be condemned by a free and enlightened constituency, nor by our own consciences. Emerging from a rebellion of gigantic magnitude, aided, as it was, by the sympathies and as sistance of a nation with which we "ere hi, peace, K i c , ou ->i tLo Union were, ftjui ,ca,o left wi.h out legal State Governments. A q a _ tional debt had been contracted, Amer ican commerce was almost driven from the seas, the industry of one-half of the country had been taken from the control of the capitalist ind placed where ail 1 tbor rightfully belongs, in the keeping of the laborer. The work of restoring State Government loyal to the Union, of protecting and foster ing free labor, providing means for paying the interest on the public debt has received ample attention from Congress. Although your efforts have not met with this success in all partic ulars that might have been desired, yet on the whole they have been more successful than could have been rea sonably anticipated. Seven States which passed ordinances of secession have been fully restored to their pla ces in the Union, and the eighth, Geor gia, held an election at which she rati fied her constitution, republican in form, elected a Governor, members of Congress, a State Legislature, and oth er officers required. The Governor was installed, and the Legisleture met and performed all octs then required of them by the reconstruction acts of Congress. Subsequently, however, in violation the constitution w hich they had just ratified— as since decided by the Supreme C >urt of the State—they unseated the colored members of the legislature, and admitted to seats some members who are disqualified by the third clause of the XIV Amendment, au article which they themselves had contributed to ratify. U uder these circumstances, I would submit to you whether it would not be wise without delay to enact a law authorizing the Governor of Georgia to convene the members originally elected to the Legislature, requiring each to take the oath provided by the reconstruction acts, and none to be admitted who are ineligible under the third clause of the XIV Amendment. THE DUTY OF GEORGIA. The following article, taken from the Columbus Enquirer, of December 4th, meets our hearty approbation, and we commend it to our readers and actors, for its good sen so and sound logic: A close calculation shows that if Georgia stands firm in her rejection of the loth Amendment, it will proba bly be defeated. This gives addition al importance to the reports of coali tions iiere at nome to ootain her vote for the Amendment, and of measures by Congress to compel her to adopt it. \Ve hope that bold tae home Coalitions and the pressure at Washington will utterly faiL Suppose that Congress should resort to tue arbitrary and un constitutional means proposed to pro cure the vote of the State for the Amendment; wh t would we lose by it? We won! 1 be denied representa tion in Con cress. But who cares for tiat? Had we not better go unrepre sented than‘o be represented by the present claiuiUiiU oi seats in the jtloosse—men who were never elooted to tl is Congress, and two-thirds of whom are not in political sympathy with the people ? And suppose the present State Government once amended and then approved by Con gress— should be set aside; would we lose much by that ? Could we pos-iibly be much worsted? Gov. Bullock might lie retained in his present posi tion; but it would be as “provisional” Governor, and his term of office would be considerably shortened by the up setting. W* are indeed convinced that the quickest way to get rid of the rad ical rule uiif.inly imposed upon the people of Georgia would be for Con gress to declare the State organiza tion incomplete, or inharmonious, or irregular, or anti-Repnblican, or by whatever disqualifying term tbe party in power may choose to use, and to set it aside as such. It certainly is bogus and not in harmony with the people of the State, and under the preseut organization, it is saddled ou u- for terms ranging from three to elev en years. Military tyranny or “pro visional” usurpation can’t last half as long as the least of these terms, and when they die they will “die all over.” We are therefore clearly of the opin ion that as a matter of policy, as well as principle and duty, tbe people of Georgia should firmly maintain then integrity in the present crisis, and take the consequences. I'ldciuith t monument. Mr. Peter B. Sweeney, well known as one of the leaders of the New York Tarnany Hal) Democracy, in a late con versation with one of the reporters of the New York Herald, said: “X think that one of the first acts of the Demo cratic Legislature of New York will be to repeal the action of last winter, by the Republican Legislature thereof, af firming the Fifteenth Amendment.”— This certainly would be eminently proper. At the very election at which the Legislature was chosen, a proposi tion was submitted to the people whether colored persons should vote. It was decided in the negative, unless they were possessed of a landed quali fication. The Fifteenth Amendment exacted no such test, and it is, there foie, certain that the inhabitants of New York are opposed to the Amend ment. It was* adopted by a Legisla ture elected before it was made an is sue by its submission by Congress to the State. Iu this connection we notice a re markable letter, addressed by Horace Greely to General Benjamin F. Butler. In his letter Greely confesses that ten States suffice to defeat it, and that se ven of these—New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, Kentucky, Tennessee, Cali fornia and Oregon—are already be yond hope. Why did not the editor of the Tribune include Ohio, also? She has rejected the amendment in the m ist formal and explicit ten s. Her act on will not be undone, but that cf New York will, thus making nine States against the Amendment. Georgia has thus far declined to adopt it, and, we hope, will be faithful to the eud. She has the power to make the tenth State, and to clinch the matter beyond ton test. Virginia has adopted it under compulsion, and her action will not stand a judicial investigation. The same compulsion is being attempted iu Mississippi and Texas. We hone mey will imitate Georgia auct Tennes see and stand out against it to the last. The recognition of their rights in the Union may be delayed for a tliort time, but they will speedily come. Any forced adoption will be invalid. The Indiana pretended adoption is void. — The constitutional quorum was not present when it was claimed to have been carried. Under these circumstances, will the Radical party have the hardihood to declare the Amendment adopted? — Dare they so outrage the Constitution? Many believe from past experience that there is nothing from which they will recoil, and that they will so proclaim it. If they do so, they will find that they have a king with disputed succes sion. Although they first packed their jury, and before the ease was made up elected the men who wore to try it, yet, nevertheless, enough of that jury have rejected it, or refused to adopt it, to kill it. Herein is the only point for tbe Democracy to consider. The Fifteenth Amendment has not and can not be a dopted by the constitutional majority of the States. But if the influences which forced it upon the country de clare it ratified, then the question will be, what is to be done ? The Federal authority has really no more right to proclaim its ratification than it has co proclaim a king. If it is done, we rely upon the Courts to set it aside.— Cin cinnati Enquirer. Going to Texas. Wo are sorry to see a revival of the Texas emigration in a portion of North ern Georgia. At the best, emigration from Georgia to any other State of the Union is a doubtful expedient. Very seldom have we heard of any man who improved his condition and prospects by the change; and we never yet saw such a case. But just now we hold such movements peculiarly inopportune. Landed property is fast rising in value in that section, and probably this is the reason of the emigration. Peo ple, for the first time for some years, are able to sell out at what they think a fair price, and they wish to improve the opportunity in fear that it may not occur again. They forget that what seems to be a fair price now, will per haps look like a great sacrifice a few years lienee. We judge of prices sole ly by comparison, and when they get off to Texas and hear that lands in their old vicinity hare got to be worth twice as much as they sold the old home stead place for, they will feel cheaper than any property they may have bo’t in Texas. The truth is, Northern Georgia will nropably improve faster than any other section of the State, It combines the advantages of Northern and Southern climates. It produces the crops of both sections, and most of the comforts of both sections. The whole of that great belt of country stretching down along the Blue Ridge and constituting the great Virginia valley and the valley of East Tennessee an and Northern Georgia and Alabama, is the graudest and most •valuable country on the continent of North America, and will soon be peo pled by perhaps the most intelligent, 1 rosperous and interesting population cf Uie United Suites. It will be* the abode of weal n, refinement and cul ture. A tract ot land there is going to be worth more than so many acres in any other farming regu n—for here mining, manufacturing, all the mechan ic aids and agriculture are destined to au intimacy of co-existence and a prof itable contiguity r.ndrt 1 itionship, which is attainable no where else on the Amer ican continent; because the same natu ral conditions of exhaust less mineral wealth, illimitable water power, extra ordinary fertility of soil, and length of season, mildness and healthfuiuess of climate are accumulated so grandly no where else. The greatest facilities for jirogies-. in all the three grand divisions of human enterprise aie here clustered together with unexampled prodigality. We think the people of that section should consider well before they ex change their interests in such a coun ty for lands in Texas.— Tel. and Mess. HOUSE. Washineton, December O.—A reso lution was introduced by Farnsworth, of Illinois, for the immediate restora tion of Virgini >.. After some skirmish ing on the motion, Stokes o oied a resolution to refer it to the Reconstruc tion Committee. This action is re garded as unfavorable to Virginia. r J he cases of Sherrod and Dox, ( f Alabama, was referred to the Commit tec on Elections. A resolution referring the credentials of Mississippi and Virginia members to the Committee on Elections. SENATE. Stewart introduced a resolution pro viding for the removal of political disa bilities upon tbe a me tion t.f the loth amendment. The bill to enforce Republican Gov ernment in Georgia was postponed to Wednesday next. This bill requires that Georgia ratify the 15th amend ment. A close count renders Georgia’s ratification necessary to the adoption of the amendment. The part of the message urging ad ditional legislation for Georgia, elicited applause. The part urging Virginia’s early admission, was read in silence*— It was apprehended that Southern conservatives had been over sanguine. Mr. Bout',veil’s views are clearly a dopted by the President. Several nom inations were sent to the Senate,, of those appointed during recess. Jk ferson, Tex., Dec. G.—Baisie, Da vies and Cuss counties give Davis 012 majority, with Graf hr for Congrees.— The Legislators in the counties of Bai sie and Cass are Radical, ihe Davis Conservatives all voted for the Consti tution. Half the whites didn’t vote. Private dispatch from Austin states that the Constitution was carried al most unanimously. Hamilton elected by a large majority, and that the Leg islature will ratify the loth Amend ment. COMMUNICATED. M e Editor: The news having reach ed me that innocent parties have been accused of writing the communications over the non de plume of “Tell-Tale, 7 tvuii..u ini vc appeared m your paper from time to time, within the last few months, and that said communications have caused ill feelings between some of the ladies, I desire to correct the mistake, thereby acquitting innocent parties of an unjust accusation. I am the author of the communica tions—they were written at my own suggestion and of my own free will and accord, and for which I am per sonally resposible. I have personated no one, unless they chose to make it personal, therefore, I have nothing to retract. Ail I have said, has been through the kindest of feelings to alb and merely to have a little fun; but, if parties will insist upon making it a se rious matter, and assert that they are the ones to whom “Tell-Tale” alluded, we cannot but think that they plead guilty to the charges, and we would refer them to the old, bat true adage, “A guilty conscience is its own accus er.” We have also heard it whispered around, Mr. Editor, tilixt you are the author of the articles. I desire to in form those who were silly enough to entertain such an absurd opinion as this, that the Editor of this paper was absent when the first communication appeared, and knew nothing about it, until he saw it in print. He seated in an editorial notice, that he was not re sponsible for the matter contained in that paper, that he had left it in my charge. The idea of a man or woman charging the editor ox a newspaper, oi appearing in ail article over a fictitious signature, in the columns of his own paper, is perfectly ridiculous aud extrmely absurd, and as contemptible as are those who make such charges. We have no hesitancy in positively as serting that the editor of this paper, if he desired to write an articlo of that sort, would do it, and" publish it i;i his editorial columns. We know that it is merely curiosity and a disposition to pn into, and inter meddle with other people’s affairs, that has created this little disturbance in regard to “Tell-Tale’s” communica tions, and we have concluded to grati fy them by giving our name, and there by, furnish a theme for quid nuncs, and tattlers, for a short time, at least. — We desire to say, just here, that “Tell- Tale” will continue to “gas" whenever he sees proper, and if it does not meet the approbation of the very fastidous, modest and sensitive citizens of Car tersville, we certainly will write on, anyhow ! With the sincere desire that all whom we have offended, will ask our forgiveness, wo remain very modestly and respectfully, “Tjt l-Tatt.” ah'as J. T. Gibson, LOCAL BREVITIES. We had quite a number cf ministers in our town Sabbath last, enroute to Rome, not to attend the ecumenical Council, but the annual Conference which meets there this year.

Our farmers are sowing wheat quite liberally again this fall, and have taken unusual pains in preparing the soil. — With a good season, large crops will be the result. They are determined, with the approval of Providence, that there shall bo no famine in Bartow. Four years ago and our country a rcund us was a waste; fences, dwell ings, and Ginhouses burnt down; our town a heap of ashes and charcoals; want, trouble, and poverty were plain ly written in our faces; gloom fell like a pall upon the people, while heart-sick they gazed upon the wide-spread de struction around them. But a healthy reaction came, and “Hil desjaerandum ” was the cry, and our people laid hold of the axe, the plough, and the hce, and used them with a vim, and the mechan ic seized the saw, plane and hammer and the united labors of both brought food iu abundance, and anew town larger and better built than ever, now greets our eyes. Well done! Well DONE!! We would not, of course, hint that we have the model Court House of Georgia, but it is a beautiful structure to behold without, while within the of fices are well adapted to their uses, and the Court room itself is large and well arranged for business. The Judges seat and the lawyers’ bar will be mod els of beauty and finish. Mach rm.iit is due to Mr. J. A. Howard, our Ordi nary, for his patient and constant su pervision of the work, and to the Messrs- Jackson, Clayton & Cos., and all others who have so faithfully aided in its con struction, and to the subscribers and tax-payers who furnished tho means to pay for it. It will stand as a monu ment of their liberality and wisdom, long after other fabrics, built of perish able material, shall have passed away- NEWS ITEMS.

In the South where Liver complaint and bilious diseases prevail to such a great extent, there has long been felt a need of a medicine that would act ‘specifically and promptly on the Liver restoring it to its normal functions, and at the same time be safe from after es facts, and yet so simple that it might be used by any one. It is claimed that Dr. Tutt’s Vegetable Liver Pills sup. plies this want. They act directly on the Liver; their constant use will not injure in the slightest degree the most delicate constitution. Females at any period may use them with great bene fit, and realize great relief from ti e distressing nausea which they experi ence at certain times. These pills are not recommended as a ‘universal cure all,’ but simply for diseased Liver, and those maladies which follow a derauge ment of that important organ, such as Dyspepsia, Sick Headache, Indigestion Loss of Appetite, Costiveness, Piles, Jaundice, Sour Stomach, Ladies Heart burn, Chills and Fever, Foul Breath Restlesness at night, and Flatulency.— These invaluable Pills may be found i u every Drug Storo of any note in the South and West.
