II ON. Ilia AM WARNER.
This incorruptible and great J udge,
we are truly glad to learn, has been
appointed and his nomination ratified
by the Senate as Chief Justice of the
State of Georgia. The appointment
will be hailed with pleasure by the
people of the State, and by none more
than the members of the bar. One
of the first great minds of the bench,
he remains at hi%post to diffuse the
light which beamed around it when
his departed compeers, Lumpkin and
Nisbet, shared with him its untarn
ished honors. Long may he live to
dispense that justice which was ad
ministered in the olden times, when
virtue and talent were unobscured by
the lesser and unreliable officials
which were forced upon us by corrupt
and selfish administrations. The top
rail is getting back to its place, and
the bogs may now be expected no
longer to pilfer the fields.
Extracts from the forthcoming Jan
uary report of the Agricultural De
partment show that the department
is now receiving, principally for dis
tribution to the Bouth in liberal
jiortions for experimental purposes,
improved varieties of field and su
gar com, field and garden peas and
beans, Italian rye grass,bromusSchro
der i, and lucerne, manly wersel and
sugar beet, cabbage and onion seeds.
It will also receive during this month
fresh seeds of the ramie and Julet
plants, the latter of which cannot lx 1
grown successfully north of Tennes
see.
Oats and barley of approved varie
ties have been ordered from Scotland
and Germany, and will be distributed
in ample time for Spring sowing. A
choice variety of white Spring wheat
grown in Oregon from seed imported
from Australia, has just lieen distrib
uted to the North-Western Statesand
Territories. As there is much inquiry
in the Southern States for seed of the
Japan clover, it is deemed proper to
republish from the annual report for
1869 the following opinion by the su
perintendent of the garden and
grounds of the department:
“ Lespedza streatn Japan bush clo
ver is a iuguminous plant that has
lately attracted some attention in the
Southern States. Asa forage plant,
it i- poorly adapted to any such use,
and not by any means worthy of rec
ognition by the cultivator. It is a
low, hard wooded annual, spreading
freely on sandy and poor soils, with
very small ;uid scanty foliage.”
The following beautiful tribute to
one who has endeared her memory to
every heart in Christendom possess
ing any of the milk of human sympa
thy and kindness, we clip from an
address delivered by Charles Wallace
Howard, Editor of the Atlanta Plan
tation, and a citizen of this county,
before the Cassville Female College,
before the late war:
The name of Florence Nightingale
hasbecomea household word through
out Christendom. This lady of noble
birth, of large fortune, and of high
character, was touched by the suffer
ings of her countrymen, then endu
ring the horrors of war in the Crimea ,
she left her home unattended, that in
the scene of conflict she might give
medicine to the sick, food to the hun
gry, drink to the thirsty—that she
might soothe the last hours of the dy
ing, and bring back their last words
to the loved ones at homo. Through
that terrible war, God preserved the
life of this remarkable woman. On
her return, her Sovereign bent grace
fully from the throne to greet her, the
nation rose up to welcome her, the be
reaved blessed her, and to their chil
dren’s children, her name will be
mentioned as the Angel of Mercy.
And to whom shall mankind give the
verdict of their largest admiration,
the Hero of the Redan, or the Hero
ine of the Hospital ? The answer is
not difficult, for depraved as is hu
manity, its permanent and universal
homage is rendered only to real worth.
EX-GOV. CROWS.
While, as is well known, our ideas
of political affairs have not run in the
same channel with those of ex-Gov.
llrown, and while we are not dis
posed to rob the late acting Gov
ernor of any part of the credit due
him for retiring from the Executive
chair without a needless and hurtful
struggle, our knowledge of the facts
of the case constrains us to express
the opinion that ex-Gov. Brown is
entitled to great credit for his activi
ty in bringing about a quiet and
peaceful solution of the difficulty
which, at onetime, was threatened.
The acting Governor conducted
himself in the true spirit of gentle
manly magnanimity at the inaugura
tion —walking down the aisle with
the Governor elect and accompanying
him to the Speaker’s desk, where he
delivered his inaugural address and
took the oath of office. It was cer
tainly one act for which all the people
will give him credit. —Athens natch
man.
Macon is agitated on the question
if constructing the Great Western and
Atlantic Canal. At a meeting held
in the 17th, a resolution was adopted
requesting the Council to appoint at
least two delegates to proceed to the
L'ity of Washington at such time as
may be deemed most advisable, for
the purpose of conferring with and
tiding our Congressional representa
ives in the passage of the bill now
lending before Congress, looking to
lie construction of the work.

Among the appointments made by

rhich will meet with more general
pprobation and endorsement than
iiat of Col. P. W. Alexander to the

THE CREDIT OF GEORGIA.
Just at this particular time very
great interest is taken by many of
our Northern papers in the credit of
the State of Georgia, and the fear is
expressed lest that credit is being
placed “in the ranks of the unprin
cipled earjK‘t-1 diggers and dishonest
scoundrels that seem to control legis
lation in the Southern States,” while
Dr. Angier is charges! with giving
life to a ring formed for the purpose
of buying up the State securities at a
very low’ price, thus depreciating the
credit of the State in the markets of
the w’orld, and seeking a partial if
not a total repudiation of her ob
ligations. It is pretty well under
stood that all this feeling grows out
of the personal interest which many
claim in the thousand and one bonds
which have been so recklessly issued
by our quondam Governor, and the
earnest desire to hold our people re
sponsible for all the iniquitous de
mands which in this way may be
made upon them. We have not much
to expect from Northern philanthro
py, and care but little for their ro
speet. Again and again has it l>een
said by each and all of us that every
fair and just debt due by the State of
Georgia shall be paid to the last dol
lar, fully, fairly, justly paid, and that
every honest creditor of the State may
be as well satisfied as though he had
the money in hand. Georgia will
never repudiate a single one of her
debts, and upon this the world may
rely; but she holds herself, at the
same time, ready and prepared to
scout every dishonest effort to filch
from her people one single cent which
is not honestly due and payable. If
any debts against her of tins charac
ter exist, the holders may just as well
make up their minds no longer to
entertain a shadow of a hope that
they will be paid, and cease their
everlasting mouthing about the credit
and honor of the State. She is able
and willing, and will pay every cent
that she owes, but she will scruple to
the very ninth part of a hair over
every unjust and unconscionable de
mand which her plunderers shall
make of her. Every mail brings us
some blue-marked papers from the
avaricious and scheming North, with
columns thickly crowded with
lengthy lachrymose articles about the
danger of Georgia credit, and urging
our people to pay up. Once for all,
while one of these epistles is before
us, we have just this to say: we know
our honor, and it is in better keeping
in our hands than in yours, and your
tears in this behalf are as hypocriti
cal as they are insulting. Keep your
counsel for the benefit of your own
precious rings and think not that we
are to be moved from our propriety
by any shallow sensational appeals to
our fears for our credit.
The honest holders of our obliga
tions shall be paid. Debts which are
illegal and fraudulent impose upon
us no lawful or moral obligation.

Editors Strndakd & Express.—
Tn a brief visit to your town, a few
days since, I saw many things to in
terest me; and, if “first impressions
are most reliable,” Cartersville is
doomed to revolution—in name, at
least. “ The neatness of things gen
erally”—industrial indications—press
advantages, and many other might bo
mentioned argue, unmistak
ably, that Cartersville is on the march
to citydom.
I spent a most pleasant night with
my highly esteemed friend, P. 11. 13.,
of the Stan daiid & Express, and, in
politics, theology, temperance, togeth
er with a number of other good things,
found him “O. K.,” if that means
“ all right.”
The first part of the night was spent
in hearing a 11 Isconsinian Second Ad
vent divine discourse upon the second
coming of Christ. His divisions were,
“ For what,” “ llow,” and “ When
he will come.”
“ For what,” and “ How,” were
laboriously discussed according to the
peculiar views of the preacher, ac
companied by a sufficiency of action to
make the occasion interesting. Great
ly to my disappointment the “When”
division was defered to “ a future oc
casion” in order to give place to a
sliyht touch of illustration of the
prophet Daniel’s “ image,” his
“ beasts” and their “ horns.”
Under the mastery of imagination,
and having allowed the reins of fancy
to become “ tangled” by the dexterity
with which he moved the guidewand
from the “one horn” to the “ten
horns,” and, vice versa , my thoughts
alternated between the scene before
me, and the picture exhibitions of a
map auctioneer. To confess the truth,
the preacher is “ a man of parts,” and
(on the rostrum,) pedestrian energy,
and if he will set his prophetic chart
to the Air of “ Over the hills, and far
away,” the good people of our coun
try will excuse him not to be able to
tell “ when” the day of Judgment
will come.
The road from Canton to Carters
ville is replete with romantic and pic
turesque scenery. The track of war
is seen all along the bank of the beau
tiful Etowah, and the heart of the
wolf is painted on the melancholy
ruins of better days. It awakens in
the mind feelings of immeasurable dis
gust and irrepressible sorrow to contem
plate such monumental savage villai
ny.
But, a brighter day is on the wing,
anti those silent witnesses of oppres
sion and wrong, shall lift their heads
and shout again for joy.

THE GREAT WESTERN CANAL.
Messrs; Editors : Some of your
readers would like to know some
! thing more of the survey of the canal
route mentioned in your paper a few
' weeks ago. Cannot you or some of
j your numerous readers give us further
j information on the subject ? I should
i lx? pleased to know something of the
proposed route, its terminations or
connections north or south, with any
| other facts you could give.
It is intended, I presume, to give
an outlet for the trade of the north
western States, and to take the place
of the old contemplated canal through
Virginia from tide water to the Ohio
river, which certain French capital
ists had contracted .with the authori
ties of Virginia, in 1860, to complete,
but the commencement of which was
delayed by the war and finally de
seated.
If this is to supply the place that
the Virginia canal was intended to.
It is not a matter of small importance
to Georgia, and particularly to the
jieople of this section ; and any infor
mation you may be able to give rela- ]
tive to this improvement would be a j
matter of interest. Please let us hear i
from you on this subject, and oblige
a Header.

There Is no higher Democratic au- 1
thority in the country than Governor
Joel Parker, of New Jersey, whom
the Democracy of that State so hand
somely elected to the position he now
fills. In hisinaugura! message, a copy
of which has just reached us, Govern-
Parker says:
“ If the "people at any time conclude
that the general government has ei
ther too much or too little authority
for the safety of the nation, there is a
lawful mode provided by which its
delegated powers may l>e increased
or diminished. Much of former State
jurisdiction has recently been absorb
ed through constitutional amend
ments. The Constitution provides for
this method of alteration; and when
an amendment is ratified by the re
quired number of States, it becomes
part of the organic law, and as such
should lie respected and obeyed, what
ever views may have been entertain
ed as to the policy of the change. As
law abiding citizens we should recog
nize the Constitution, with the amend
ments thereto, as the law of the land.
Further agitation of the political is
sues involved in the recent amend
ments would be detrimental to the
peace and harmony of the country.”
This is quite as good an answer as
could be made to the twaddle of the
