The Express. I AMU EL 11. SMITH. Editor ami Proprietor CARTKRBVILLK, GA. t MCII, Slrii, 1870 C. A: Track-laying has been resumed with a vim, ou the Curtersville & Van Wert Railroad. Soon the iron horse will drink of the water of the Etowah, four miles away. Speed the progress. V e hope the day is not far distant when work will bo commenced on the eas tern end of this liue of road, run hence up the Tennessee Road, via Fairmount, Carter’s plantation, to Moi ■gan ton, and meet the North Carolina rail road, making almost a beo line, via Ashville, and Salisbury, to Nev York; let one of its termini be at the X, C. line, meeting her road, and the other reach away to EJyton, Alabama, the great central point of that State. This done, and the Cartersville & Van Wel t Railroad will be one of the Railroad powers of the South. Captcraillc und Cur muHdiag: The prospect is encouraging that our town will some day, not far off, be a central fjailroad point. Should our road be continued to Morganton, that rasult will be realized sooner-than some may now suppose. Well this brings us to another view. We ought to increase our Manufactories; just now a car factory should be put into operation. Our new Railroad will soon want a number to move the lum ber, lime, grain, cotton and the illimit able quantity of Slate, which are await ing the completion of it to the quar riea The Memphis & Charleston Railroad Cos., want 400 box cars this Bummer, to accommodate its vastly increased business. We saw the Pres ident of the Dawson Car Factory, and he told us ho had their orders for 100 of thorn. Why not make them here. Boon the best lumber for cars will be brought to ns, at moderate prices from the vast pine forests to the right of Euharlee Creek. Coal will be reduc ed atlleast 333 3 per cent, as soon as we touch the Alabama coal fields, and as all know, wo have any arnounl of the best Pig metal, for car wheels, that can be found, and made at the Curtin Furnace, within two and a half miles of our car shed, or deoot. We know of no other place in Georgia, possess- j iag so many natural advantages for this 1 enterprise, and it is a safe business,! and a paying oue; besides, we have nearly all the requisites to make a be-j ginning, at hand. Mr. Scofield has al- j ready the Iron Works iu fall blast—a splendid engine, with necessary furna ces, blasts, Ac., to cast car wheels; he can commence in I ) days, for he is u goo! workman, and has energy enough to start a of cars. And thou Messrs. Jacksons, Clayton & Cos., have their machinery already, driven by steam, everything new and perfect, dad they can turn out the wood work, at a rate that would astonish some Railroad Companies. They have a house for seasoning lumber, thorougn ly, in a short tim \ and these firms to gether, when once under way, could put up four cars a week, perhaps more, and the price is some SSOO a cubb, which will pay a good profit. We suggost to these gentlemen to unite in. this business, and we prdict they can 1 make fortunes out of it. Come, gen- ■ tlemen, get together, and talk the mat- j ter over, and we you will com- j menee anew era for yourselves and for the town of your choice. £&*> The Georgia Mutual Life In- j Huranoe Company, a purely Georgia institution, ifc meeting with success wherever introduced. Several of our best and most prominent citizens, have invested in this sound Company. Its plans, features and negotiations nre *U liberal in behalf of the Policy Holders. All unnecessary restrictions in residence, occupation or travel have been removed, and the rates of premi ums have been reduced to as low a standard ns safety and prudence v\ ill allow. This is the only Georgia Company that has started with a cash paid up capital of two hundred thousand dol lars, and incorporated all the now and liberal features in favor of the insur ed. Our friends who fed the sacred trust and responsibility of dependent families, can do no better than invest j a small annual amount for the protec-: lion of their loved ones, in this Home institution.

TilC Circa*,-of Orion & Stowe, is hill- | c i ior thir pi >ce, ya iSaturdny next, when j our circus going people may expect a little | Had frolic. The witicisms and jokes of j t ho clown, together with horse-hack riding, j s tumbling,. balancing, &c., will af- | t ford the spectator on opportunity to feast] K ills ears rtvl eyes. We know b:;v, imlo about! K| ’us company, an 1 hare soon but little in the 1 but what i.ttle we have seen repre- 1 UUAMiJIin I*KHSETMEXTS. We. the Grand Jury for the first week, March Term, Bartow Superior Court, 1870, beg leave to make the fol* lowing general presentments : From our own observation, ahd from all the information wo have been able I to get on the subject, we find (he geu- I end morals of the county greatly im proved. All seem to have « tiled down quietly in the various avocations of life, and the great masses of bur people who, a few years since ’presented the appear ance of an angry and disturbed swarm of be.*s, now present tlie appearance of an onler loving, law-abiding commu nity. New churches and school bouses have gone up, and all are well attend i ed aud enjoyed ns in days of old. We have examined the public build iugs and find the new Court House, | which has just been erected, exceeding j iv comfortable and convenient, and an j ornament to the county; it has, how ever, been reported to us that there are several leaks in the roof, and we respectfully recommend the Ordinary to have this evil remedied at once. Total cost of Court House $18,409 28 “ paid bv sub. $6,290 00 “ “ County 5,977 19 12,273 19 ! . i Leaving balance unpaid $6,136 09 j Total due & eolectable on subsciipti m $1,435 43 “ balance to be paid bv county 3,700 60 $6,136 09 We have also examined the Jail and find it insufficient for the purposes for which a Jail is intended. It is too small, too insecure, and badly ventilat ed; and while we are ready to admit that a Jril should not be a palace, yet humanity requires that we have a pris on in which the unfortunates who oc cupy it can at least be made comforta ble as well as secure. As it uow stands we find the county is necsessarily com pelled to keep two guards regularly employed, and this expense alone will soon defray the cost of anew, coven ant. comfortable aud secure Jail. We would, therefore, respectfully recom mend that anew Jail be erected with out delay, and that it, together with the Court House, be enclosed with a suitable fence. ,\ e find the buildings on the pauper farm ueat and comfortable, and com modious enough to accommodate from sixty’ to seventy inmates. There are at this time in this institution twenty six occupants, as follows: Three very old and blind men, four very old and helpless negro women; the remainder are such as the ordinary inhabitants of such places, all greatly to be pitied and more to l>e envied. We think the rations allowed the in mates are ample for all their necessities, and upon questioning them, their an swer is that their food and clothing is all they desire. We also find the farm in fair condi tion, fencing good, with about forty acres now sown in wheat, and about thirty-eight acres ready prepared for planting in corn; the mules aud other stock in good condition. There is no bread stuffs on the farm, and only a bout four hundred pounds of bacon on ■ hand. We find many of the public roads not on record, and recommend that the Ordinary procure a list of them and place them on record; and we fur ther recommend that the hands bo equally divided between them, which we find has not been done heretofore. The road fr~tu Allatoona, crossing at Capt. Puckett’s ferry, pasing through Cartersville, thence down the Etowah river, intersecting the Rome road at or near Oonusena, should have more hands on it, and the bridge be put in good condition. The lower bridge on Tworuu creek, on said road, we find impassable for loaded wi gone. We , j iiLo find the ferry boat and chain at j 1 Capt. Puckett’s ferry is considered ve ; ry uusafe, and respectfully recommend I tliat the owners of said furry be requi -1 red to furnish anew boat and chain, or rope. The interest of the traveling public demands that the road from said ferry to the residence of Captain Puckett be reopened on the same land where it originally was, and we would respectfully recommend the Town \ Council of Cartersville, in connection j with the Road Commissioners, to have lit opened at once. We would also recommend that a bridge be built a ! cross Tworun creek at Best’s mill.— ' We find the road from Cartersville to CJedurtown in good condition, with one exception —the hill on the West side of Euharlee creek, on said road, is ve ry bad, and cannot be made good as it now runs, and we therefore recom mend that it be changed back to where it originally run, thereby avoiding said hill. The road from Cedartown to Kings ton, via Collister’s mills, is in bad con dition, from the point where it inter sects with the road from Cartersvill? to Cedartown, to Collister’s mills. We find that the roads and streets in the corporate limits of the towns of Cartersville and Kingston are not in as good condition as they ought to be, considering the number of hands in their limits subject to l’oad duty. We recommend that all roads in our county be opened to the width of thir ty feet. We have examined the books of the Treasurer, and find a balance on hand on the first of January last, of the com mon, or general fund, of $2 262 85, and of the pauper fund of $1,873 55, mak ing a totcl of $4,126 40. We also find that he made a report to the Ordinary at that time, showing a balance on hand of $2,828 49. In this report we find where ho failed to charge himself to $2,156, which added to the balance which he shows on hand, would make the sum of $4,984 49, showing a differ ence between the balance as appears on his books, and this report, of $858.- 09. This is a discrepancy which we did not have time to investigate, but recommend that he do so, and straight en the matter up. We do not find any index to these books, and therefore have found it very difficult to investi gate them, and we respectCulfy recom mend that he raise an account for each special tax levied and collected for county purposes, and place each page of these accounts on an index kept for that purpose, then there will be no j guess work, but when an order is f drawn for any purpose, on any special ’ or general fund he can turff to his ac- ‘ count and see how much of that spe -1 iitl fund is ou hand, aud should there beau excess of any special fund, the Ordinary can easily issue an order trausfi ring it to some other account where it may le needed. We learn that the Treasurer lias been loaning the funds in his hands at interest, and while we are unwilling to impute improper motives to him, we feel colrpeifenl to condemn the act as establishing a bad precedent, and are Clearly of the opinion that no officer entrusted with public funds for safe ; keeping has the right to loan such funds at interest, or otherwise. In Oar examination of the Tax Di gest we find some of our citizens have given in their property below its cash value, while others have given theirs in at its full value, and wo rec ommend, in the words of the law, that the lieciever of Tax Returns shall care- j fully scrutinize all returns, and if in j his judgment they are given in too low, j he shall at once assess said property at its true value. In regard to the books of the Com missioner of the Poor, we hardly know what to say. We are satisfied they are correct, and vet the style in which they are kept, and the manner in which some of his vouchers are go ten up, and in which others are not gotten up, and the general want of arrangement and system are such as would not meet the approval of this body. We would respe tl'nlly recommend that he adopt and get up a uniform system of vouch ers, and have Idem properly numbered and these numbers placed oposite the entries on the books. This would at least save the jury, or any one whose duty it might be to examine them, an immense amount of labor; and we would further recommend that he dis continue the practice of paying off the grocery and other trills of the employ ees of the pauper farm, an 1 bringing them in on his books. It gives the concern too much the appearance of a retail liquor concern, and to avoid this, we think it would be better for those employees te be paid in money, and let them settle their own debts. We have also examined the books of the Clerk of the Superior Court, aud find them neatly and well kept. We have also examined the books pertain ing to the office of the Ordinary, and find them neatly and well kept, and in justice to Judge Howard must say that he has made quite an improvement on the old mode of keeping the order book; as they are uow kept the entire expense of the county can be seen at a glance. There has been complaints rendered to this body for failure of duty on the part of someone, but who, we are un able to shy. It is alledged that when a criminal is brought into Court for trial, there is generally great difficulty in getting the witnesses, and it seems to us this ought not to be, for if, w hen the Grand Jury finds a true bill and the Clerk issues the warrant, if he' at the same time were to issue the sub- the witnesses, and put them with the warrant aid turn them all over to the Sheriff thgether, and the Sheriff would subpoena the witnesses as soon as the arrest was made, it seems to us that a great deal of the delay of taking orders and sending for witnesses after the case is ready for trial might be avoided, and we respect fully recommend that this matter be looked into by the proper authority, and put in force. Wo also recommend that the bar of the Court Room be moved out to the edge of the windows in the centre of which it now stands, thereby giving more room to those engaged in Court. We also recommend that a per cent upon the State tax sufficient to raise nine thousand dollars be laid upon the taxable property of said county, unless anew jeil be erected, in which event it will be necessary to increase the per cent, in proportion to the cost of said building. This will be a reduction on tlie taxation of last year of about one third. In taking leave of his Honor, Judge Parrott, we beg to tender our thanks for the able and impartial manner in which he has discharged the duties of presiding officer of the Court, and for his uniform kiudness and courtesy to this body, and also.to.Col. Broyles, the Solicitor General, for his uniform courtesy, together with the assistance lie has rendered us, and. to the officers of Court generally, for "their uniform kindness and courtesy to this body. • All of nkicli is respectfully submit ted.

Mar h 31,-tf. Communicated. Mr. Editor: On visiting your town, i the smell of guano reminds me pain fully of my experience in that article. 'ft) ere never was a time wheu* the J Sooth was so flooded as it now is, with patent medicines, machinery, ag- j ricttltural tools, fancy seeds, aud worth- j less fertilizers. .. * | Every mail is filled with circulars, instructing the poor farmer how, by j sending them some of his dearly earn- j ed money, he can make doable ns muck Be as faithless and unlieliev ing as you may, if they ever get hold of your name, they will, sooner or la- j ter, take you in. lam but a one-horse farmer*, and yet I cannot go anywhere about my yard or horse lot, without be ing reminded of my gullibility, by see- j ing some detir bought, so-called, agri- i cultural implement, thrown aside as | useless. Even in my house, I see a j silent Sewing Machine, and on the top shelf, safely put away is my three minute churn, which my practical wife ! has too much good sense to bother with. lam proud however, to record j the fact that so far, I have resisted the strange Female Regulator which I see advertised in your paper; or, have I been tvs yet, overcome by the soft, and insinuating blandishments of the pertinacious, irrepresible and übi quitous Life Insurance Agent. But to return to guano. I held out against it, for a long time. The year before, I had cultivated ten acres in cotton, according to the old time plan, and had made four heavy bales, which brought me in market about five hundred dollars. With my usual economical habits, I got along with that amount, at least independently.— But circular after circular poured in upon me, and I was informed that by making an investment in guano, I could make from two to two and a half, and even three, bales to the acre. I was not green enough to believe all of it; I thought there was some truth in it By following their advice, ; if I could make but one bale to the acre, I would be satisfied. Who that once knew the pleasure of having a plenty of money, does not want to be in that situation again. I was not ambitious, but still I felt it was my du ty, if possible, to prevent my wife from losing her good looks, and good temper, by keeping her from burning her face, cooking over a hot fire. For we all know how good and gentle our ladies are, if they are never crossed, and only do what they wish to; and I too, thought how grand it would be, j if I were enabled to buy a tall hat like our ministers, members of the Legislature, aud short lawyers. Ten bales of cotton! that would be glori ous; but the more I thought about it, the more my wants grew: so I ad ded five acres more to my patch, and, of course, in my imagination, I had : live more bales to spend. I purchas ed a couple of tons of compound, am moniated, complicated, comminuted, double-extract of concentrated nasti ness; I hired laeor, put it in, planted tlie seed right over it, and cultivated according to Dickson. The result was three light bales, the sale of which left me oue hundred dollars in debt, my wife in a bad humor, and' I oblig ed to wear my old clothes, and feeling so humble, that I would not have worn a tall hat if any body had given me oue. Now, do you blame me, Mr. Editor, if every time I smell guano, that I should think—well, in fact—that it stinks ? Before concluding allow me to pro pose to my agricultural brethren, the following conundrum: Why are these yankoe manipulated guanos, like a fashionable young lady ? Because they are both Dam—sels. Cotton selling at 19 cents. Some peaches left yet, enough, if no further disaster, to insure an abun dance for eating, and drying. Farmers of Bartow, you have acted wisely in sowing clover and grasses, now cap the climax by planting an abundance of corn, and let your cotton crop be clear gain. Our court is still in session this week. CHAMBERLIN, BOYNTON & CO., Dialers In DRY GOODS, WHOLESALE Ana Retail, Atlanta, Georgia.
