STANDARD AND EXPRESS. C\ RTERRVI LI.E. C.A., J.VN. 5, W*. &ajr Reading matter on every page 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. P. W. ALEXANDXB. Among the appointments made by he Governor, all of which have the ing of the right metal, there is none rhich will meet with more general pprobation and endorsement than iiat of Col. P. W. Alexander to the attorney Generalship of the State. Vith an enviable reputation as law er and writer, lie brings to the office ualifications of a firstrate order. We heartily "congratulate His Ex sllency upon the Law officer of the tate. New York, January 12.— The Ag cultural College Land Scrip for two undred and seventy thousand acres land, donated by the United States > the State of Georgia, has been sold >G. F.

The Inco.me Tax.— Under date of Wednesday, the Washington corres radont of the Baltimore Sun writes at nothing lias been done about the olition of the collection of the in rne tax for 1871, and the impression steadily gaining ground that it will tbe abolished. A majority of the ays and Means Committee are in vor of its abolition, but in the House e Western members seem to look >on the tax iiMotn* levied on eastern pital, and which should be borne e same as other U»2e» are borne by o agricultural AtMt/u —ZiA <fc Met. ; 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. j COMM U.NMCATEI).] 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. Cheiiokee. Judge Warner has been nominated and confirmed Chief Justice, instead of Judge, of the Supreme Court. It is rumored that lion. H. V. Johnson will be appointed to fill the vacancy occasioned by the resignation of Judge Lochrane. At a meeting of the Western & Atlantic Railroad Company, held in Atlanta, on the 17th inst., the follow ing officers were unanimously re elected for the ensuing twelve months: Hon. Joseph E. Brown, President; Col. E. W. Cole, General Superintendent; Col. W. C l . Morrill, Treasurer; Hon. E. G. Cabauiss, auditor. Major E. B. Walker re mains Master of Transportation. 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. • » • The Legislature has adjourned. The Legislature has passed a bill to provide for the redemption or ex change of the bonds of the State of Georgia, and the payment of interests thereon. Arrangements have been made by which delegates to the Agricultural convention at Savannah will be passed free both ways. This liberality on the part of the railroads is commend able. The Constitution says the people of Atlanta are decidedly pleased with their Swedish laborers, who are giv ing thus far general satisfaction. A bill has passed the Legislature providing that no person shall serve on a jury longer than two weeks at any one time. Governor Smith has signed the res olution asking Congress to remove the political disabilities of all citizens of this State.

At “ high noon,” on Friday, 12th inst., and under a cloudless sky, Jam es M. Smith, of Muscogee, was in augurated Governor of Georgia, amid the joyous shouts of a relieved and grateful people. Goxe. —11. I. Kimball, and E. N. Kimball, and their families, have all left Atlanta and gene—we know not where. Tennesseeans boast that there is a heavy demand for Tennessee hay in the South. Why is this necessary? Mr. Whitely introduced a resolu tion in Congress removing the politi cal disabilities of Herschel V. John son and other Georgians, which pass ed by a two-tliird vote. John Bird Hall, of Cherokee county, Ala., aged seventy, was married to Mias Cage, aged seventeen, last week. The old Bird couldn’t get along any longer without anew Cage. Mr. Alexander B. Lester, one of Gen. Lee’s couriers during the late war, died in Norfolk Monday. Sumner presented a memorial sign ed by two thousand Georgia negroes in favor of his Civil Rights Bill. The signatures were all in the same hand writing. Governor Samford’s trotter, of Cal ifornia, trotted three heats, and made the following time: 2.ISJ, 219 and 2.19).

Horace Greeley declines to sign the call for a Republican National Con vention. He wants to be independ ent. A Connecticut clergyman recently announced from the pulpit that he had hoard a man say that he had read the Bible through in sixty hour-. De termined to ascertain whether the in dividual told the truth, he set about it himself, and read the whole of it aloud to his wife in fifty-nine hours and something over thirty min utes. He read sometimes an hour and sometimes two hours a day, keeping the exact time, with the result indi cated. Os the seventy-:'. ;r United States Senators fifty are lawyers. The annexation fev r is prevailing among the people of Mexico, and all politicians are opposing the scheme. Foreigners say that in an American protectorate lies the only safety of Mexico.

Charleston, January 19.—A ter rible fire occurred last night in the village of Abbeville Court House, in the upper part of this State. All the hotels and most of the business por tion of the square were destroyed. The origin of the fire in unknown. The California Assembly have struck the words “ white” and “ male” from the statutes.

Nine and a half months is the length of the unexpired term to be filled out by Governor Smith. Mr. Gray moved to reconsider the loss of a bill to lay out anew county from the county of Bartow. This motion did not prevail. “ Conley’s last message,” says the Savannah Republican, “we present to oar readers this morning. Its chief merit is to be found in the fact that it is his last. We therefore put it on record as part of the history of the times.” We learn that Hon. O. A. Loch rane has returned from his visit to Washington and New York, and that he has become attorney for Henry Clews & Cos., to present their claim before the people of the State and the Legislature, at its next meeting in July. Foster Blodgett is out in a card in the Era, declining to be a delegate to represent the Republican party in the National Convention which meets in Philadelphia the 11th of June next. He says in no event will he accept the position or serve in the capacity named. Enough of Radical honors for one time thinks Foster. One of the moral dogs of Perry went to church the other day, and persisted in growling an accompani ment to the hymns. A pious young man attempted to throw the dog out at the door, but landed, him, instead, in the face and eyes of a young lady who was coming up the steps, and they do say that for a few minutes, you couldn’t tell the dog from the waterfall. He was a whiffet of the bench-legged way of looking at things.— iSav. News.

The old Manassas battle field was sold a few days since for eight dollars an acre. When the war commenced it was under a high state of improve ment, and tiie dwelling house upon it was one of the finest in that section of the State. It is a fact worthy of note that America grows Cotton, sends it to Great Britain, and then sends after it fifteen millions in gold, annually, to buy spool thread made of it —and, of course, pays a heavy duty on the thread when it arrives. It is said that the small boys dogged the steps of the prince Alexis, while walking through Chicago, with a view to getting the discarded stumps of rayal cigarettes.

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 Republican press about the revolu tionary designs of the Democratic party."
