mr Reading matter on every poge
Our Job Press.— We are due our
patrons an apology for keeping them
out of their Cards, Bill and Letter
Heads, Circulars, Ac., so long. We
contracted with the Cincinnati Type
Foundry Company to put us up a job
press, which was to have been finish
ed by the 15th of January’ last. On
or soon after that time they wrote us,
in answer to our enquiry, that it was
done, and would be shipped on re
ceipt of the money. The money was
sent forthwith, the receipt of whieh
was duly acknowledged by them, and
three presses, in part consideration of
the new one, was duly fonvarded, by
us, to them together with the R. R.
Agent’s receipt of shipment. Again
they wrote us, the first of last week,
that the press in question would be
completed by the following Wednes
day, (21st), since which time we have
had nothing further from it. We re
quested it to be shipped by express.
NVe have been anxiously awaiting its
arrival for a month, going to the de
pot every day, Sundays excepted, to
witness its arrival. Job work has ac
cumulated until we are a month be
hind with that branch of our busi
ness, and still we have no tidings of
the press up to the present writing.—
Somebody, or company, or both, are
acting in bad faith towards us.

there are some half a dozen other men
in North Georgia that he intends to
kill. The Dalton Citizen thinks he is
a dangerous man to be running loose,
and mentions its belief that SSOO re

A bill has been introduced in the
New York Legislature regulating
freight on railroads, which proposes
two restrictions on charges: 1. Win

acted in summer. 2. No more shall
be charged for carrying freight part
of the length of a railroad than the
whole distance.
The white people of South Carolina
are in a fair way of being drained of
all their property in the shape of tax
ation by the Radical party of that
State. Three tax measures are now
before the Legislature, which, in
their practical working, would
amount to nothing less than open con
fiscation.
Important Decision.— The Su
preme Court has made tnis decision:
“ Where a factor makes advances to
a planter, and takes a lien upon the
growing crops under Revised Code,
section 1,977, such advances are in the
nature of purchase money, and the
lien is, therefore, superior to the wife’s
title, where the crop was set apart to
her as personalty under the home
stead laws, after it was made.”
It is reported that the Italian gov
ernment is in communication with
the other governments of Europe to
secure a convention for the protection
of birds. For this purpose it is pro
posed that each nation shall adopt
the law of Austria, which makes it a
crime to rob nests either of eggs or
young birds. It is urged that the co
operation of the different countries is
necessary to prevent the extermina
tion of the warblers.
This thing of killing the merry lit
tle warblers, simply for sport; is wick
ed and inhuman, and ought-to be the
subject of State and National legisla
tion. What would a country be with
out them ? How sweet to hear these
little messengers of good will, we
come the returning seasons, with
songs of happy greeting.
MR. HILL’S SPEECH.
We have read the speech of this
distinguished gentleman with great
pleasure, as everything which comes
from him is ever sure to command
attention. It appears in the Consti
tution of the 24th, and is an elaborate
presentation of his political course,
and a defence of himself and his po
litical affiliations. We have never
sought occasion to find fault cause
lessly with Mr. Hill, but on the con
trary have been a warm admirer of
the course which he has pursued in
many jiarticulars, with here and
there an exception. The gpeoch is
able, and, bating much that is errone
ous, will lx? read with pleasure by all
who may see it, though they may
not agree with him in his positions
or conclusions.
Mr. Hill is not only a great speak
er, but evidently is one of our tx«t
thinkers; and while it Ls not to be ex
pected that everything he says will
meet with endorsement, yet there is
much that is deserving of the gravest
consideration. No man tan—nay, no
man ought always, to adhere to the
same political course. Circumstances
arise, which, while they may not de
stroy a principle, yet require and de
mand a departure from preconceived
resolves. We are not ready to pro
nounce a man traitor to party or to
principle who may choose such a
course for himself, but on the contra
ry believe that the highest duty and
the greatest political wisdom may de
mand it. What we may insist upon
to-day, we may properly resign to
morrow. The spirit of intolerance
upon which he so eloquently and with
great personal feeling discourses, has
been the fruitful source of much evil
to the country, and the earnestness
with which he implores its
ment by every friend of the country,
should meet with a large and hearty
response.
As before stated, there is much,
very much, in this speech with which
we heartily agree. There are other
things, however, which meet with
our protest. But whatever of fault
we might find we can never forget,
and it is with a sort of proud satisfac
tion that we remember, and we say
it, to his credit, that when in the
hour of our darkest trial, all other
hands were still and all other voices
hushed, he, and he only, had the
ability and the courage to come for
ward in defence of the down-trodden
South and his native Georgia, and
gave to the world his celebrated
“ notes on the situation,” which not
only inspired hope in her fainting
breast and made glad the hearts of
her people, but which for great truths
and powerful logic and brave decla
ration of the rights of the people,
under the law and the constitution,
were republished in Northern States,
and gave the first impetus to the
flagging energies of the Democratic
party throughout the Union, inspiring
them to make yet further and un
ceasing efforts to save the country from
tlie vortex of Radicalism, which im
periled its liberties. Mr. Hill has this
honor, and it is his, and he richly
deserves it. Ile proved himself then,
a bold, brave, and unconquerable
patriot, a man of nerve, of heart and
truth, and love of truth, and of his
country.
If errors mark his course since then,
we can only think of them with re
gret, while we remember his past
with gratitude and delight. We
thanked him in person for his noble
efforts, then; we thank him in our
heart even now.

Dll. WM. P. HARRISON.
The Baltimore Episcopal Metho
dist, of the 24th inst., announces that
Dr. Win. P. Harrison, of Georgia,
lias become associated with the edi
torial management of that paper. It
will be remembered that this culti
vated and deservedly popular and
able minister of the Methodist Church
in Georgia, was lately the editor-in
chief of the New Monthly Magazine,
which, fora time, under his manage
ment and auspices, gave such flatter
ing promises of large success, but
which like almost all of our other
Southern magazines, has not only
disappointed its hopeful beginings,
but is now numbered with the dead
past. It was owing to no lack of en
ergy on the part of its distinguished
editor that it met with such calami
tous fate, but seemed to follow in the
footsteps of other literary efforts of
the South, from causes into which it
is not our purpose to enquire at pres
ent. We are glad that Dr. Harrison
now occupies a position in which his
really marked ability may find an
appropriate field for doing good, in
which it may not only exercise itself
for the public weal, but attract that
attention which lie so eminently
deserves.
As associate editor of the Metho
dist, we believe he will wield an in
fluence, which will not only serve to
enlarge its already extended circula
tion and add increased value to its
roll of able articles, but that here his
extensive learning and acknow lodged
power will have space more worthy
of its efforts than the Review which
he has left, could, under any circum
stances, ever have offered. We con
gratulate the paper upon its new ac
cession of deecided strength, the
Doctor upon the new field of labour
upon which he has just entered, and
ourselves and the readers of the
Methodist at large, upon the feast of
good things which we have the
promise of having laid before us.
SOUTHERN METHODIST MISSIONARY
DEBT.
We rejoice to seC that the old
debt due by the Board of Foreign
Missions of the Southern Methodist
Church to Dr. Carlton and Porter,
agents of the Northern ‘.Methodist
Book Coneern, by reason of their en
dorsement of Southern letters of
credit drawn on Brown, Shipley &
Cos., of London, and amounting to
the sum of $35,212, principal and in
terest, has been entirely paid off and
discharged. This debt was created
in the year 1859 and 1860, and but for
the intervention of the war, and the
prostration of Southern interests and
the destruction of property, would
have long since been paid. Dr. Carl
ton honored and paid off the debt
due by us, and just so soon as the war
ended the Southern Church proclaim
ed the debt “to be one of honor, and
that it should be paid.” Eleven
thousand dollars raised for its extin
guishment was unfortunately lost by
Smithson, but the Church, nothing
daunted, has come forward and paid
off the last dollar of the claim, which,
including the loss, makes the sum of
$50,000.
THE PACIFIC RAILROAD.
The Pacific Railroad has been
blocked and blockaded by snow for
weeks and weeks, and as to that mat
ter, for months, too. All previous
precautions against the snow have
proved of no avail, and hundreds
upon hundreds of cars, both freight
and passenger, have been detained to
the serious detainment of business
and endangering the lives of the pas
sengers. Cars of all sorts going both
ways have been stopped, while the
snow king has reigned triumphant.
We do not know whether it is true,
but it is said that the road is only en
tirely reliable for transportation for
three months of the year. At all
events it Ls pretty clear from the ex
perience of the past, that the road
must prove a failure, and a more
Southern, safe, pleasant, and expe
ditions route established. The thing
is inevitable. Tom Scott has already
abandoned it, and is looking further
South for his railroad ventures. So
be it.
The news generally states that the
excitement upon the Alabama ques
tion, both in England and America is
subsiding, and the probabilities are,
that the whole matter will meet with
a diplomatic solution. There is lit
tle or no fear of war entertained, nor
was there ever on our part of any such
foolish and damaging issue upon ques
tions which it only needs a little com
mon sense and common honesty to
settle peacefully and honorably.
Jonathan always goes in for all he
can get, and if John Bull will not ac
cede to his demands, will he content
with a less sum. The N Y. Times (a
Grant organ) says “if the Alabama
differences are not settled before the
next election it will not be his
(Grant’s) fault.”
The Georgia Agricultural Society
held its usual annual meeting at Sa
vannah on Thursday last, the 22d.
Gen. Colquitt, the President in the
Chair, with about three hundred del
egates in attendance. The meeting
was addressed by Gen. Colquitt, Col.
Barnett and others on various Agri
cultural topics, which came before it
for discussion. The body is said to he
composed of intelligent gentlemen
from all portions of the State, and
well ]>osted in reference to the com
mercial, agricultural, mineral and
manufacturing interests of the State.
The next convention is to be held at
the city of Griffin, and the next fair
at the city of Col. Barnett
of Wilkes county, we understand, was
elected Secretary, vice D. W. Lewis,
resigned.
Important to Justices of tiie
Peace.— The following act of the
General Assembly, approved Decem
ber 12th, 1871, will be found of impor
tance to the various Justices of the
Peace throughout the country:
Section 1. Provides that Justices of
the Peace and Notaries Public, who
are ex officio Justices of the Peace,
shall keep separate dockets of all
causes, civil and criminal, disposed of
by them, the actual disposition of each
cause and the amounts of costs col
lected, and from whom.
Section 2. Provides that these offi
cers, shall lay their dockets before the
Grand Juries of their respective coun
ties, the first day of eacn session for
their inspection. ... r
x iovmes, mat a failure
to do so, shall he deemed a crime, for
which these officers shall he indicted,
and the trial of their cases shall have
precedence over all other cases, civil
or criminal, and if convicted shall be
punished by a fine not to exceed one
thousand dollars, six months in jail or
both in the discretion of the Court, or
to work in the chain gang twelve
months as the Court may determine.
(COMMUNICATED.)
Messieurs Long Noses “ Who
strukc Beely Pattersen ? I deedn’t.
Still it was a— of a gude lick.” But
what’s to be done about it? Nemo
says get a handful of Joana and a
handful of good, fresh ashes, (not too
hot) and put in your hat loose, and it
won’t stink any more. You say,
have a depot out of town, where it
can waste its sweetness on the desert
air.
Folks won’t take Nemo’s prescrip
tion. They’d reether have bricks in
their hats. But Joseph might build
you a depot outside of the city, and
if the city keeps growing that far,
will pull up stakes and build another,
or lie might be persuaded to move
the present bricks of this depot to
Bobrogersville, for instance, a leetle
higher up, and leave Cartersville
here. Let’s try him. Jo can do any
thing. But Bobrogersville is only 3
miles off, and soon the weather will
be warm and if Joana keeps trotting
along on the ears for some weeks,
hence daily, as it has done, it will be
so hot we shall have our doors open,
and if the wind blows this way we
shall smell it anyhow. We can smell
it now in our office 200 yards from
the depot, through our brick walls
and glass doors. No odds, cold
weather and stiff breezes blowing the
other way; have done it and bragged
about it. We intend to buy ten tons
of Joana, if we plant any cotton on
our farms 28 off in the country;
but still think it ought to be always
in the ground. Shall order it to come
by under-ground railroad and “steal
it away at night.” Roads are good
and bull yearlings strong. Can pull
all at one load. Yours lovingly,
Smell- Million.
P. S.—When we clean out and
sweeten up Cartersville, we shall
turn our attention to Marietta, At
lanta and Augusta, and other small
depots, to be cleaned out by legisla
tion. See “ Bergh on Cruelty to An
imals,” page 101169, 4th verse.

The New York Bulletin, of the
9th, ill an editorial on “ Georgia Fi
nances,” says: “When we stated
that there is a ‘ “ ring” ’ behind th®
Investigating Committee, we knew
what we were saying. We know that
one of the officials at Atlanta, promi
nently connected with the finances,
has, within a brief period stated it to
be the purpose of him and his friends
to ‘ “ break down Georgia Securities
to the lowest possible figures ,” ’ and
when, where and to whom this state
ment was made.”
We put but little confidence in the
above statement, but if such is the
case, as the editor of that paper so
positively asserts, the sooner the peo
ple know it the better.

[From the Savannah News.
Washington, Feb. 25, 1872.
In consequence of the feet that Gen
eral Longstreet took sides with the
Warmouth faction during the recent
unpleasantness in New Orleans, the
President has decided to remove that
functionary from the office of Survey
or of that port.
Collector Casey and Marshal Pack

heads will be taken off as fast as new

The Administration has determined
that treason to party, which means
treason to Grant, cannot be permitted
among men holding appointments by
the grace of Ulysses.
Forney is here charged with the
mission of effecting a reconciliation
between Grant anti the disaffected
Republican members. Forney dined
with Sumner to-night.
There Ls no doubt but that Grant
and Forney have made a bargain over
the Pennsylvania Seuatorship—G rant
promising the aid of the Administra
tion to elect Forney in Cameron’s
place, while Forney throws all his in
fluence in favor of Grant’s re-nomiua
tion and re-election.
Representative Bigby, of Georgia,

The matter of the State Fair has
been settled in favor of Atlanta under
the contract with the State Agricult
ural Society. Mayor James and Col
onel I. W. Avery, of the Constitution
came to the Convention bv authority
of the Atlanta City Council to repre
sent Atlanta’s interest, with the offi
cial statement that Atlanta was ready
to furnish the grounds, etc., in con
formity with the conditions of the
contract. On last Friday night Hon.
Alexander E. Atkinson, of Cobb, ad
dressed a large audience in Savannah
on the subject of “ Direct Trade and
Immigration.” Colonel Frank Schal
ler, of Athens, and Alderman
Schwarz, of Savannah, also addressed
the meeting. —Savannah News.
A subscriber near Kenuesaw, in
Cobb county, sends the Marietta
Journal the following intelligence:
“On Friday evening, the 16th in
stant, there was a terrible tornado
visited our neighborhood, commenc
ing on the property of Mr. P. Chalk
er, going a north-easterly direction ;
passing through the property of J. W.
Hill, Esq., thence through the prop
erty of Major George Roberts. So far
as I have heard, its track was entire
ly in the woods, not passing near any
buildings. I think it was about four
or five hundred feet wide. The tim
ber was literally torn up by the roots,
or twisted off at the ground, leaving
scarcely a bush standing. Old logs
were shattered up and hurled into
heaps. Old soldiers living in the
neighborhood say the waste and con
fusion was more terrible than the
battle of Chickamauga or Gettys
burg.”
Rev. G. T. Geotchius, the Pastor
of the Persby terian Church in Albany
has just returned from Athens with
his bride, Miss Scudder, to whom

A report was read on the mineral
resources of upper Georgia, by Colo
nel Crawford, on the third day—a
good article.
Captain Holt, of Macon, introduced
an admirable resolution, which was
passed, asking the Comptroller Gen
eral to gather and publish the statis
tics about the crop acreage of Geor

A variety of umimportant matters
were discussed.
The Convention adjourned sine die
11 j o’clock to jamboree down the riv

The Agricultural Convention au
thorized a committee of seven, with
Col. R. A. Crawford as Chairman, to
examine the mineral resources of the
State. The Chair appointed Col.
Crawford, Messrs. W. G. Atkinson,
Jones of Atlanta, Huff of Macon, E.
Steadman of Newton, G. W. Adams
of Monroe, A. S. Atkinson of Paul
ding, and J. A. McMillen of Mont
gomery, as said committee.
Joseph Gillott, whose name is so
widely known in connection with the
manufacture of steel pens, died re
cently in England, at the age of sev
enty-two. He was born at Sheffield,
England, October 11, 1799, and re
moved to Birmingham at the age of
twenty. It was some time after his
removal to that place that the first
steel pens M ere made; the idea pre
sented itself to Mr. Gillott’s mind as
of great importance, and, by his in
ventive talent and mechanical skill,
he, it may be said, built up anew
trade. The Graham Street (or Victo
ria) Works of his establishment were
built about thirty years ago, and have
long been regarded a chief Birming
ham sight. How much the world
owes to Mr. Gillott for convenience in
the production of writing, it would
be difficult to estimate.
Another Injunction Case. A\ e
learn that Henry Clews Cos. have,
by their attorneys, filed a bill before
Judge Erskine, of the United Stater-
District Court, to enjoin John W.
Wofford from using the Cherokee
Railroad in this county, and the Sher
iff of Polk county from selling the
Polk county portion. The case will
come up for a hearing before Judge
Erskine on next Saturday.

COLLEGIATE INSTITUTE.
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, thereby 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 mav be
entrusted to our charge, for all the walks, either
imparting that knowledge, and those ’scientific
principles which will enable them to take a
high and distinguished stand among their fel
low-men, we will also instruct them in that
higher knowledge and moral culture, winch
alone can elevate man for that sphere which
God intended him to fill. "
1 his Institution will consist of Male and Fe
orm?,r C A 0 h arS ’S iving -? ir,s here :l Chance to
prepaie themselves either for teachers or for
business stations in life, thus enabling them to
make an independent living. b
The tuition will be from $2 00 to SSOO per
month, according to grade, payable monthly.
g ov ’ e rnment ot this institution will lie
mild, but firm. As order is the first law of na
ture, so children must, and 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 any time
violate the rules of the institution, they must
Institution/ reform ’ or else retire from the
™£, S K no . c ? rru P t i n .S n °rdemoralizing influence
w ill be tolerated in this Institution, our rules
are simply obedience and hard study • and if
erioinn ?£ " ill give us their co-op
eration, they will be sure to get the worth of
