This is a recent publication, and its author, the Hon. Wm. H. Sparks, an old and well known citizen of the the State of Georgia. We have read it with no little interest and most heartily commend it to the reading public of Georgia. It is what its title purports it to be, the memories of the author; without much or very little regard to method or system. It is a valuable mention of facts and in cidents connected with the founda tion of the Government oftheUnited States and the settlement and early history of the State of Georgia—the great men of the revolution, and the great men of Georgia, much of the interesting, and to many but little understood history of each, their pe culiar eharaeteristies and qualities— the settlement of the State—the man ners of the people, with much of an ecdoto and sentiment, as also the equally interesting narrative of the settlement of Louisiana and the story of many of her distinguished men, form a book as readable and interest ing and quite as profitable as any wc* have met with for a long time. We heartily commend it to all. A serious fire occurred afr Alexan dria, Va., on Saturday night. M«. G ra v: To lay out anew coun ty from Bartow county.

We learn that his Excellency, Gov ernor Conley, has pardoned Isaac Wheeler, convicted of killing a color ed boy in DeKalb county and sentenc ed to twenty years imprisonment in the State penitentiary. Death of Dr. J. N. Simmons.— Our community will he deeply griev ed to learn that our esteemed fellow citizen, Dr. J. N. Simmons, departed this life at 9:20 o’clock this evening. He bore his sufferings with Christian resignation, and died in full hope of life immortal in the bosom of his Sa vior. His remains will be taken to Griffin for burial to-day at 1:10 r. m. —Era, 12th. The Legislature.— The State Legislature met at tin* Capitol on Wednesday, the 10th, and a quorum being present at roll-call, proceeded at once with the business of legisla tion. A message from Governor Conley was received, transmitting the re turns from the election for Governor. At 1:16 o’clock r. m. the Senate came into the Representative Hall, and the General Assembly, President Trammell presiding, proceeded to count the votes for Governor. When the votes were counted Presi dent 'IWw.-~f.Vl anwuuMfiJ that Hq-p --.‘oived 39,706 votes, and that there were 100 .scattering votes. A resolution by Mr. Bacon, provid ing mr me appointment of a commit tee to notify Governor Conley that Mr. Smith was elected and would be inaugurated at 12 m. to-day, was adopted. Mr. Lester offered a joint resolu tion, that both Houses of the General Assembly take a reeess from Friday ne\l until 10 o’clock a. m., on the third Wednesday in July next. Adopted. Mr. Cameron offered a resolution directing the ('omptroller General to desist from issuing executions against wild lands until further instructed by the General Assembly, which was adopted. Resolution by Mr. W. D. Anderson providing for the appointment of a committee to consider ways and means to reduce the present “ onerous, unjust and ruinous freight tariffs” if such “desirable end ” can be attained by legislation or otherwise. Adopt ed. The Hon. Harrison Riley, of Lump kin county', was upset in his buggy, on Wednesday last, while on his way to Atlanta, and, it is feared, mortally wounded. HON. T. C. GOODE. \\ e congratulate the people of Sum ter county and the State at large, that so able and eloquent and finished a gentlemen as Air. Goode has taken his seat in the Legislature. One of the most brilliant men of the State, the “Silver-Tongued Orator” is destined to take high rank among his fellow Legislators. It is always a matter of gratification to see the talented men of the State put in prominent posi tions, and among those none can be found more worthy or more captivat ing than this famous orator of South- Western Georgia. We number him on the list of personal friends, and predict for him a brilliant and honor ed future. THE BELLIGERENT HERALD. The New York Herald thus points out the way to settle our difficulties with Spain: “ Demand an immediate appology and reparation for the numerous of fenses of Spanish provincial and na val authorities against the rights and dignity of our flag, and the rights of our citizens, with the alternative an nexed of the armed occupation of the island of Cuba, and we shall have a fight and a decisive settlement. The people are ready for it; and surely we have had enough of Spanish outrages and Spanish insolence, and diplomat ic tomfoolery with the Spanish gox - eminent. The Cherokee Indians of Georgia, or their descendents, have formed an association and chosen Samuel W eil to present their claims against the government. They are to have a “honeymoon” car on the Pacific Raiiroad, w hen the great work shall be in running order clear through. People who slew their swine before Christmas, in the region of Dawson, have lost their bacon. nvonoETT's pakivon. We publish to-day the proclama tion of Mr. Conley granting a full pardon to Foster Blodgett for any and every crime with which he is or may be chargedjis Superintendent of the Western & Atlantic Railroad, or as an individual in any matter con nected with -aid road or its manage ment, as well as for any mismanage ment of said road ; and ordering his discharge from any and all arrests hitherto made, and from all obliga tions or bonds for his appearance at Court to answer for any violation of the law, whatever, in any way con nected with the road, and ordering that the said Blodgett go absolutely free from further arrests, imprison ment, punishment or criminal liabil ity of any character, whatever, grow ing out of any transaction connected with the road. We venture to say this document stands without a par allel in the history of the Govern ment, and the reasons given are of so futile a character, and so utterly un worthy of the position of the chief ruler of a great State, that we are forced to think that other and private reasons must have influenced the granting of the pardon and the dictation of this most extraordinary and shameful production. Were Mr. Conley a na tive of the State and had he been placed in the executive chair by the people of Georgia as their representa tive man wearing the exec- utive robes of office, nothing hut a sense of shame and confusion of face could lie felt or manifested by her people. But, thank God, he is not ours, nor of us, and the people with one consent, all over the land, feel that the stain which has thus been placed upon the admistration of the Government in this transaction clings not to their skirts, but sinks its ineffaceable and damning marks up on the author and his horde of vaga bond carpet-baggers and the other carrion birds which have gathered over the carcass of our bleeding State, to plunder and gorge and fatten on the public spoils. The mark is upon him and them, and there let it rest and blaze and burn. We have no part or lot in this unholy thing, and while we feel that such is the sentiment common to every true man in the State, we have yet to hear of the first man public or private who has the effrontery to endorse this cool act of executive outrage—an outrage upon society, upon morals, on law and every just sentiment of a civiliz ed and high-minded people. The reasons advanced for the par don of this notorious man are strange indeed, and so altogether unheard of and insufficient, that one is led to the conclusion that right or wrong, some way or any way, the pardon was to be had, and the pardon was to be granted. The power was in Conley’s hands, and having the power it should be and has been exercised in favor of the criminal, against the people and against the treasury. One confessing great crimes without ex cuse, the plunderer of the State, with the funds in his possession and shak ing his rascalities and his gold in the face of the* Governor, guilt in his pockets, guilt in his hands and guilt proclaimed by bis tongue, demands of the sworn executive of the State pardon without restitution, and on the poor plea that so great was the presumption of prejudice against so great a criminal absolutely confessing his guilt, that the pardon is granted and Blodgett goes free. It has been estimated that for one year the nrocegds of the State road reached the sum of near' and for that year, the poor sum, out of this amount, of only $45,00a jima paid into the treasury.’ Where is the balance? What hits become of it? Who has got it ? How held, how divided! No one can tell, and now r , to shield enquiry, to stop proceedings, to shut up investigation and to con ceal the terrible mismanagement and crime, if crime there be, this procla mation comes in as a timely assistant to the perpetrators of these State iniquities. The mind is irresistably forced to the conclusion that other and more pressing reasons than those which appear upon the face of the proclamation, must have influenced the author. But enough of all this. Here is the precious document, and we ask our readers to read it, and then ask them selves if we have got rid any too soon of this, we hope and believe, the last public representative of Rad icalism in Georgia. Anew era now dawns upon us in the ascendency of Democracy, and emerging out of the long and dark night of Radical rule, with joy we hail the rising sun. Let the case against"Blodgett pro ceed before the courts, let him plead his pardon, and let the court deter mine the validity of this monstrous act of the Governor. And if neces sary let the case be carried to the Su preme Court, and let it there be show n whether a judiciary can be found "so foolishly weak or radically corrupt as to sustain this barefaced attempt of the Governor to shield a criminal whose plea is guilty. For ourselves we cannot believe it, nor shall we un til the cases are tried, and the pardon sustained. Executive Department, State op Ga., 1 Atlanta, Ga., January 9, 1872. J To Whom it May Concern, Greeting: Whereas, there are now pending in the Superior Court of the county of Fulton, in the State of Georgia, two special presentments of the Grand Ju ry of said county against Foster Blod gett, a citizen of said county, one of said presentments made and found true by the Grand J ury at the April term, 1871, of said court, charging said Foster Blodgett with the offense of larceny after a trust delegated, or confidence reposed, alleged to have been committed in the county afore said, on the 7th day of January, 1871, and the other of said special present ments was made and found true by the Grand Jury of said county, at the October term, 1871, of said Superior Court, charging the said Foster Blod gett with the offense of larceny after trust had been delegated, to have been committed in the county afore said, on the day of , in the year of our Lord eighten hun dred and seventy, in which said last presentment, it is charged that the said Foster Blodgett, then and there, as Superintendent of the said Western and Atlantic Railroad, said road then and there being the property of the State of Georgia; he, the said Foster Blodgett, then and there, as Superin tendent of the said Western and At lantic Railroad, having received said money, and while acting as said Su perintendant did then and there em bezzle, steal, secrete and fraudulently take and carry away the same accord ing to law.” And, whereas, the late Governor of this State in a letter ad dressed to me, bearing date December 3, 1871, informs me that he examined into the allegations of fraud made against said Blodgett, in connection with the Western and Atlantic Rail road, and became satisfied of the said Blodgett’s integrity in the matter, and that the assaults upon him, the said Blodgett, were and are intended for political effect, and that if he, the late Governor, had remained in the Executive Office he should have ten dered to the said Foster Blodgett an Executive Pardon for any and all criminal offenses charged against him in connection with the management of the said road, and requested me as his successor to grant said pardon as a matter of justice, and Whereas, said Foster Blodgett has filed his petition in the Executive De partment asking said pardon for the reason, that owing to the prominent position he has occupied politically in the State, and the great bitterness of the Democratic party against him ; he is fully satisfied that it is impossible for him to obtain a fair and impar tial trial, before a jury in this State, and . „ , , Whereas, I am satisfied from my ow n observation and other sources of information that the said Blodgett could not, for the reasons aforesaid, and owing to the high state of political excitement and prejudice, obtain a fair and impartial trial. Xow, therefore, I, Benjamin Con ley, Governor of the State of Georgia, ana Cornmander-in-Chief of the Ar my and Navy and of the Militia thereof, in consideration of the prem ises, for divers other good and suffi cient reasons me thereunto moving, have pardoned, and do hereby pardon the said Foster Blodgett of the offen ces alleged against him in each of said special presentments aforesaid, and I do hereby grant unto said Foster Blodgett a full, free, absolute and un conditional pardon for any, every and all violations of the penal code of the State, or any part, section, or clause thereof, in any act done, or any omission to do any act as Superintend ent of the Western and Atlantic Rail- road, or as an individual in any mat ter connected with said road or its management, as well as for any mis management of said road; and I here by order that the said Foster Blodgett be discharged from any and all ar rests and from the obligation of all bonds given by him for his appear ance at any Court in this State to an swer any charge or to answer for any violation of the law whatever, in any wav connected with said railroad, and that the said Foster Blodgett go, absolutely free from further arrests, imprisonment, punishment, or crimi nal liability of any character whatev er growing out of any transaction connected with said Western and At lantic Railroad. In testimony whereof, I have here unto set my hand and caused the great seal of the State of Georgia to he affixed, this ninth day of Janua ry, in the year of our Lord eighteen hundred and seventy-two, and of the Independence of the United States the ninety-sixth. [Signed.] Benjamin Conley, Governor. CARD FROM COLONEL JOHN W. WOF FORD. A Reply to Conley’n Message as Refers to the Sale of the Cartersvllle and Van Wert Railroad. Editors Constitution :—The late act ing Governor Conley, in his message to the General Assembly on the 11th instant, having made certain com ments upon the sale of a part of the Cartersvllle and Van Wert Railroad, and the purchase of the same by a certain “ attorney,” who he fails to name, hut refers to me, and as Mr. Conley has deemed the matter of suf ficient importance to make it the sub ject of a grave state paper to the Gen eral Assembly, and as nearly every one of his statements are in conflict with the facts, I have thought proper to ask for space to tell it as it is. 1. I was not the attorney of the plaintiffs in fi fa, in whose favor the road was sold. Colonel Warren Akin was that attorney. 2. The road w T as not sold under “ one or more” small executions, but under some forty Justice Court fi fas, aggregating some $3,000, Over these executions I had no control, and nev er sought to exercise any. I have never even spoken to Colonel Akin upon the subject. 3. I was not the attorney of the complainants in the bill to which Mr. Conley referred, and had no interest in common with the complainants, except to fight Clews and Conley, and their agents. Eaves & McGinty, creditors of the road, and who had built much of it, were my clients, complainants in the bill. I b$J Bond Judge Farrottrequired. Colonel Ab da Johnson, who was the solicitor of the complainants, had that and the bill in hand, and no doubt managed it to the best of his ability. 4. Mr. Conley says I (the “ said at torney”) told Colonel Printup, on the morning of the sale, that the road would not be sold- All I beg leave to say is I told Col. P. no such thing. The conversation between Col. Prin tup and myself occurred in my law office in the presence of Mr. E. B. Mc- Daniel, to whom I appeal for support of what I here state. Mr. Conley says the Sheritf told Colonel Printup there would be no sale. I have neither.seen nor spoken to theSheriffsineetheday of sale; but since this statement has been made I have had the Sheriff ask ed. and I am informed through chan nels I cannot doubt, that the Sheriff asserts positively he told Col. Printup no such thing. I will now conclude with one re mark : I have done nothing in this matter but what is fair, open and above-board; nothing but what lam willing for the world to knowx I have done nothing but exercise my right to bid for and buy property exposed at public sale—a sale with w hich I had nothing to do and over which I exer cised no control. I have bought the property, paid for it, and I am in pos session of it. Mr. Conley is right when he says I claim it as my own against the bondholders. All I ask is an open field and fair fight with Clews and his bonds. Ido complain, and think I have a right to complain that the great power of the Executive office of the State of Geor gia is used for the benefit of this Yan kee holder of fraudulent and illegal bonds—bonds which he signed as an officer of this railroad company, and which he knew' were indorsed by Bul lock and issued in violation of the Constitution and laws of Georgia. Georgia has no interest in this con troversy. Let Clews and I fight it out. John W. Wofford. STOCKHOLDER’S MEETING.

Cartersville, Jan. 2d 1872.—8 t CARTERSVILLE COLLEGIATE INSTITUTE. 1872. We, the subscribers, will commence our ex ercises in the above Institute, on the SECOND MONDAY INJANUARY, 1872. There will be three departments in this In stitution, viz : Scholastic, Academic, and Col legiate, tlierebv enabling the citizens of Car tersville, and the adjacent country, to enjoy the privilege of giving their children a complete and thorough education, which, heretofore, they have been compelled to seek in distant institu tions. Whilst, at present, we are compelled to teach the elementary branches, in order to sus tain ourselves, yet our ultimate aim will be to build up an Institution of the highest order. We intend to prepare the youth who may be entrusted to our charge, for all the walks, either of private or of public life ; and w hilst we are imparting that knowledge, and those scientific principles which will enable them to take a high and distinguished stand among their l'el low-men, we wi 11 also instruct them in that higher knowledge and moral culture, which alone can elevate man for that sphere which God intended him to fill. This Institution will consist of Male and Fe male scholars, giving girls here a chance to prepare themselves either for teachers or for business stations in life, thus enabling them to make an independent living. The tuition will be from $2 00 to SSOO per month, according to grade, payable monthly. The government of this institution will lie mild, out firm. As order is the first law of na ture, so children must, ami will, be governed, that are entrusted to our care. Large boys and girls will be put upon their parole of honor, and if they do, at auy time, violate the rules of the institution, they must immediately reform, or else retire from the Institution. As no corruptiugnordemoralizing influence will be tolerated in this Institution, our rules are simply obedience and hard study ; and if parents or guardians will give us their co-op eration, they will be sure to get the worth of their money. We intend to have our Institution incorporated, so as to confer degrees. J. B. SCUDDER, RONALD JOHNSTON. Cartcrsville/Ga., Dee. 31.1871. STERLING SILVER-WARE.
