INTERESTING CORRESPONDENCE.
The Rome Commercial prints the
correspondence herewith annexed.
Mr. Nevin puts it down exactly
right. But ain’t he a very disloyal
“ cuss” to write such a letter?
The postmaster at this point hand
ed Mr. Nevin, our Sohool Commis
sioner, the annexed letter yesterday:
Portland, Maine, 1
Feb. 15, 1872. j
Mr. Postmaster: Will you please
learn for us from the School Superin
tendent of your district whether or
not we can*get teachers’ places in any
of your schools. Also, what salary is
paid, the price of board and general
cost of living. We claim to be gen
tlemen : we have no political intol
erance, having our own ideas about
public matters, are willing to accord
to every man all that we ask for our
selves. * F. F. Clark,
J. R. Spencer.
To which Mr. Nevin replied:
Messrs. Clark and Spencer—Gentle
men : Your letter has been received
and contents noted.
Our schools are unfortunately su;>-
plied with teachers. This is very'sad
to me; for if there has been any one
thing my heart has yearned for since
I have been School Superintendent
it has been to see men from New
England teaching our Southern ideas
how to shoot. And I will say that
if I could not have secured the ser
vices of Massachusetts gentlemen,
your State would have been my next
field of choice. I would have been
delighted to have checked upon the
same State for school teachers that
has furnished us with so illustrious
a Governor as your neighbor Bullock.
And, by the way, as to price of
living, etc., we would refer you to
that gentleman who has lately left
our State for a return to yours.
I thank you for your liberality in
allowing us to hold to our present
political views, and take pleasure in
according to you the same liberty.
Hold to your opinion, my dear boys,
and if your fingers slip, spit on your
hands, and still swing to ’em.
Yours truthfully,
Mark A. Nevin.

A Texas paper reports that since

NATIONAL LABOR REFORM PARTY.
The National lAtbor Reform Party,
which lately met in convention in
Ohio, has presented as nominees for
the next Presidency and Vice-Presi
dency, J udge Davis, of Illinois, and
Gov. Joel Parker, of New Jersey.
Judge Davis has accepted, and it is
believed that Gov. Parker will do
likewise. The action of this Conven
tion is exciting considerable atten
tion, and is considered as the begin
ning of the determined fight which
the mal-contents in the Radical par
ty are sworn to carry on against
Grant. Joel Parker, the nominee for
the Vice-Presidency, is a Democrat,
and by placing him on the ticket it Is
hoped that all the liberal Republi
cans, as well as the combined strength
of the Democratic party, may be con
centrated in the coming political
struggle, with a very fair prospect of
defeating the candidates of the Phil
adelphia Radical Convention, wheth
er they should be Grant and Colfax
or any other of that party. The
great difficulty will be in bringing
about the fusion of these opposing
elements, as it is hardly supposable
that the Democratic party can lie
brought to lend its support to the ad
vocates of a platform such as is pre
sented by the Convention for the
acceptance of the people. Below we
give an epitome of this platform,
taken from the Atlanta Sun. There
can lx* little or no doubt that Grant
will lx? re-nominated by the Repub
licans, and there is as little question
in our mind, that single-handed with
all its pmot forces combined, the j
will he defeated in j
the contest. We have therefore all ;
the time desired such an arrange- j
ment to be made, as might by con- j
cert with Liberal Republicans lx? suc
cessful in overthrowing the present j
anti-Constitutional and anti-Southern
party having the reigns of Govern
ment. We doubt whether such an
object can be effected by the proposed
Labor Reform Ticket:
From an exchange we derive the
following description of the two gen
tlemen, nominated by the Conven- 1
tion, who, together with the platform
appended, seek the support of all the
anti-Grant elements in the coming
| election:
! The first resolution, which appears
to be a sort of key-note, we give in
full, as follows:
“ That it is the duty of the Govern
ment to establish a just standard of
distribution of capital and labor, by
providing a purely national circula
ting medium, based on the faith and
resources of tlie nation, issued direct
ly to the people without the inter
vention of any system of banking
corporations, which money shall be
a legal tender in the payment of all
debts, public and private, and inter
changeable at the option of holder
for Government bonds bearing a rate
of interest not to exceed 3.75 per cent.,
subject to the future legislation of
Congress.”
“ The second declares that the na
tional debts should be paid in good
faith, at the option of the Govern
ment, without mortgaging the prop
erty of the people or the future earn
ing of labor to enrich a few capital
ists at home and abroad.
“ The third declares that the bur
den of taxation should bear equally
upon all classes and interests, and
that the exemption of taxation of
bonds bearing extortionate interest is
in violation of all just principles of
the revenue laws.
“ Fourth—The public lands belong
to the people, and should not be sold
to individuals or corporations, but
held for landless settlers.
“Such articles as we can neither do
without nor produce should be ad
mitted duty free, and customs be lev
ied iinAji liiYiir.icc nml mw'» a.w»v>
tides of manufacture as we, having
raw materials in abundance, will as
sist in developing the resources of
the country.
“Sixth—That importation of Chi
nese laborers is an evil, and should be
prohibited by legislation.
“Seventh —For the enactment of a
law by which mechanics and laborers
employed by Government contractors
and manufacturers shall not be com
pelled to perform more than eight
hours labor per day.
“ Eighth—Demands the abolition
of contract labor in prisons.
“ Ninth—Declares in favor of as
sessing and collecting war taxes du
ring the progress of the war, instead
of levying the debt on posterity.
“ Tenth—Calls for Congressional
legislation to prevent exorbitant
charges by railroads and telegraphs.
“ Eleventh—Declares in favor of
the one-term principle.
“ Twelfth—Favoring general am
nesty and equality of rights and priv
ileges to all.”
Some other resolutions were after
ward moved and adopted, but the
purport of the organization is fully
set forth in the above.
Judge Davis was born in Cecil
county, Md., on March 9, 1815. He
graduated at Kenyon College, Ohio,
in 1832, and subsequently studied law
in Massachusetts, and also at the Law
School in New Haven, Connecticut.
Removing to Illinois in 1835, he was
admitted to the bar, and soon after
settled at Bloomington, in the prac
tice of his profession. He was at one
time a conservative Henry Clay
whig. In 1844 he was elected to the
State Legislature, in 1847 he served
as a member of the State Constitu
tional Convention of that year, and
in 1848 was elected judge of the
eighth judicial district of the State.
Iq 1855, and again in 1861, he was re
elected to this position. He had long
been an intimate personal friend of
Mr. Lincoln, and as a delegate to the
Chicago Convention of 1860, had a
large share in securing his nomina
tion for the Presidency. The two
had been thrown much together by
tlie practice of their profession in a
thinly populated country, and the
intimacy between them was of the
closest and most confidential charac
ter.
Just as Judge Davis was entering
upon his third term as circuit judge
in Illinois he was, in 1862, appointed
by Mr. Lincoln to the position of As
sociate Judge of the Supreme Court
of the United States, which position
he still holds. Mr. Lincoln also ap
pointed him his executor, and the
estate of the President was w'ound up
by Judge Davis. At the time of the
latter’s appointment to the Supreme
Bench he was an avowed Repnblican,
but of late years his tendencies have
been decidedly conservative, and
there was considerable talk of his be
ing an available candidate for the
Presidency on the Democratic ticket.
His course on the legal-tender eases,
however—he voted with the majori
ty in May of last year, holding the
legal-tender act to be constitutional—
has served to estrange him from the
Democracy, although he has fre
quently been mentioned during the
past few months as a possible Repub
lican candidate who would receive
the support of the “passive policy”
Democrats against General Grant.
J udge Davis is a man of large for
tune, and personally is above re
proach. But he has never been re
garded as a jurist of commanding
ability.
GOVERNOR JOEL PARKEB.
Joel Parker, the nominee for Vice-
President, is the present Governor of
New Jersey, elected last fall by
6,000 majority, and a life-long Demo
crat. He has not indicated whether
he will accept the nomination for
Vice-President, though he is expect
ed to announce his acceptance of the
nomination by a speech at a ratifica
tion meeting to be held in New York
next week. Neither of these candi
dates has hitherto been identified
with the distinctive labor organiza
tion. During the rebellion Gov.
Parker wm popularly known as the
“WarG<Mfcnbr>”
The Ohio Statesman, a Democratic
paper, says of Judge Davis:
Mr. Justice Davis, the candidate of
the labor reformers, is the Justice of
the Supreme Court of the United
States, who delivered the opinion of
that tribunal opening the doors of
the Ohio penitentiary to L. P. Milli
gan, of Indiana, wrongfully impris
oned, under sentence of life by one
on Stanton’s military court-martial.
Judge Davis loosened the grip of the
petty tyrant Burnside, of the Chica
go Time*, in 1863. He believes in
the Constitution, and would un
doubtedly make short work of the
military rule of Grant at the South
should the question come before him.
LECTURE DELIVERED BEFORE PHI
LODI’RO LODGE OF I. O. G. T. AT
ADAIRSVILLE, GA.
Grand Worthy Chief, Breth
ren and Sisters Not having had
time to prepare myself for a lecture
to-night, I beg leave to submit to you
a few hastily written remarks on Al
cohol, which I hope will come fully
up to your anticipations, as you can
not, of course, expect much from me,
as I am, by no meads, a polished es
sayist. The term Alcohol is of Ara
bic origin and was formerly applied
to any pure essence. The more com
mon use of the word refers to any in
toxicating spirit. It has never been
found as a natural, original product,
but is always formed by art and hence
is the fruit of man’s ingenuity, and
never a direct gift of Providence. It
results from the derangement of the
elementary principles of vegetable
matter, and the resulting combina
tions that ensue; hence all sorts of
vegetable matter can be made to yield
it on this principle. All wines, beers,
ales and porters, domestic or foreign,
contain a certain percent, of Alcohol,
and the strength of them is truly the
Alcoholic principle contained in them.
On account of its active, solvent pow
er the medical books abound with
tinctures of which it is the base, and
the medical profession have hereto
fore exhibited too great a willingness
to exhibit them. But inasmuch as a
large majority of the sots have been
made so by doctors through the agen
cy of Alcoholic liquors, it is the duty
of profession to correct the evil as
j speedily as the nature of the ease will
! allow. The introduction of Sulphate
of Quinine has done a great deal to
lessen the consumption of Alcoholic
fluids under the names of medicine.
Seventy years ago hundreds of hogs
heads of brandy, wine, whisky and
kindred articles were annually made
vehicles of the administration of Pe
ruvian bark in the treatment of chills
and fever. A fondness for strong
drink was thus so deeply established
in the systems of thousands as to put
all the efforts of philanthropy at defi
ance to eradicate it; ancl though we
may, and do rejoice, that nobody, ex
cept in very peculiar cases, thinks of
curing chills and fever with alcoholic
preparations there is still room for re
formation. Patent medicines which
are simply vile preparations of alco
hol are needlessly resorted to by the
ignorant masses, in cases which could
be treated more successfully by the
various preparations of Quinine. In
a case of emergency as of concussion
of the brain where life is at hazard,
the physician may and should employ
Alcohol as a stimulant, but under no
other circumstances. The question is
often asked even in this enlightened
1 day “ is alcohol in any form necessary
|to man in full health ?” The reply
dictated by the soundest philosophy
and common sense is uncompromiz
ingly no. Capt. Ross’s history of his
second voyage to find the northwest
passage proves, beyonu me possibility
of doubt, that Alcohol is not only
necessary in the coldest latitudes, but
that its agency is decidedly pernicious.
Those of his crew who could not be
prevailed upon to abstain from the
use of strong drink, in the regions of
perpetual ice suffered most from cold.
The mercury in the thermometers fell
so low as to actually freeze, and yet
the most efficient sailors were those
who drank no beverage stronger than
water. The temperance ships that
have visited all parts of the world
and passed through all latitudes, have
proved conclusively that neither in
tense heat nor cold can be the better
endured by the aid of intoxicating
and stimulating liquors. The experi
ence of hundreds of temperance phy
sicians, is to the same point. Coffee,
vinegar, lemonade water and the like
are far better for soldiers in hot cli
mates than any sort of intoxicating
drink. Another question frequently
asked is “ can a man or woman aban
don the excessive use of alcoholic liq
uors at once, without personal inju
ry?” How frequently has this quer
ry been propounded just as if it had
not been responded to by a thousand
living proofs. A fixed resolution to
forego at once and forever the use of
strong drink, has been, and therefore
may be again, potent enough to se
cure the result. Men adjudged by
: their neighbors to be entirely ruined,
; almost outcasts from society, have
stopped in their mad career of intem
perance, and (“eased to taste the poi
j son, merely because they had taken
an oath, just such as is administered
in this sacred hall, to abstain forever
from the use of anything that will in
toxicate. Notwithstanding all that
has been said on this subject, there are
some ignorant persons who deny that
Alcohol and strong drinks are poison
ous. To this class I would say exam
ine medical authority from Hippo
! crates down to Wood of the present
day and see if it is not classed with
the narcotico-acrid poiso?is. Not only
pure Alcohol, but its varied forms in
common use, even in our dram-shops
of this day.
Dr. Thomson in his excellent work
on materia rnedica says “ ardent spir
its can be justly regarded iu no other
light than as a medicine or poison.”
Beside poisoning in a toxological sense
the deleterious influence of Alcohol
goes still further. It reaches the very
deepest recesses of the moral as well
as the physical nature; poisons, not
only the fountains of life but the
springs of intelligence, and transforms
man into a nondescript to compare
which with harmless beast would be
an unmerited degradation of the lat
ter. Alcohol when injected into the
veins of a dog is almost instant death.
In a word, Alcohol cuts down youth
in its vigor, manhood in its strength,
and age in its weakness. It fills our
penitentiaries and furnishes victims
for our scaffolds. It brings shame on
every human being who indulges in
it. Then well may we feel proud of
the good we are doing. We are real
ly accomplishing wonders. We are
saving numbers from ruin and degra
dation. Some silly foolish individu
als look on us with great indifference,
but we must heed them not. We are
here to help build up and redeem lost
fortunes. Our Lodge is really condu
cive to the prosperity of this poor
Sodom and Gomorrah of a little town.
Some of us will live to be really proud
of ous Lodge, which is now looked
upon with indi ferencebv the ignorant
maHses. We are now almost invisi
ble in the distance, but we will, Phoe
nix like, rise and come to the rescue
with flying colors. Let a-? encourage
those who are out in the cold to come
into our Lodge and help us to drive
King Alcohol from our Sunny South
The destiny of this Lodge is the des
tiny of our village. People from a
distance will come here to behold a
truly temperance community. This
Lodge is bound to prosper. There is
no such word in our by-law’s and con
stitution as fait. We are bound to- *
gether as a band of Brothers and Sis- ■
ters, whose motto is to tcork, and we
must. We must bahish forever Alco
hol from our midst. For
“ This cup destroy* the strongest man.
It blights the fairest flower;
For while it sparkles but a span.
It reigns with deadly power.”
•‘lf beauty,” fashion, wealth and pride,
Combine to praise the wine;
Oh routh resist its fatal tide
And life and health are thine!
“ Then dash” the brimming cup aside.
And spill its purple wine.
Take not its madness to thy lip,
Let not its curse be thine.”

CORN VS, STANDARD A EXPRESS.
Messrs. Editors I regret to see
that you, in your last week’s issue of
the Standard & Express, have ta
ken the position “ cotton vs. corn,”
and have advised the farmers of Che
rokee Georgia, to plant more cotton,
and less aim!
I think and fear your article, at this
particular juncture, when the farmers
are already guano mad upon the sub
ject of cotton, is calculated to do much
harm. You say the advice of the
press “ plant more com!” “ raise
more meat!” “ plant less cotton!”
may do and is well enough when ap
plied to certain sections, but wont do
when applied to Cherokee Georgia.
How you can come to such a conclu
sion, with certain advertisements,
and news items in your paper, and
stareing you in the face at the time, I
confess I am at some loss so conceive.
What menns the advertisement of
our worthy and sagacious friend, J. J.
Howard of 20,000 lbs. clear sides ba
con, which he proposes to sell farm
ers for approved paper, or lein on
crops. And also the standing adver
tisement of our friend Milam of his
Kentucky raised mules for sale, with
your commen ts that they will be sold
at Cartersville! Now if this bacon,
and these mules were of Cherokee
Georgia raising, it would be an argu
ment in favor of your position “ cot
ton vs. corn.” But we are advert ised
of the fact that these mules are Ken
tucky raised, and I will venture the
prediction it is so with the sagacious
Howard’s bacon, and you need not
suppose he bought it with the expec
tation that it would rot on his hands,
but with the expectation that he
would sell it to the farmers of Bartow
county, and if not all of it to them, at
least would to the farmers of Chero
kee Georgia, and I doubt not he will
do it.
And then again : what means the
news item in your paper, that within
the past two months, over one hun
dred and fifty mules averaging $l4O,
had been sold at Rome, Ga!
Now do all these facts argue that
there is too much corn and meat rais
ed in Cherokee Georgia ? I think not,
and hardly think you will so contend.
But you say “ there is at this time
a large surplus of corn in the cribs of
many farmers who cannot afford to
haul it to tlie railroad at present
prices.”
Well all I can say to this is; that
you must live m a rat place; and that
you know farmers I know not of; and
if they will let it be known that they
have these stagnant cribs of corn, and
that it is for sale, they will be able to
sell it at their cribs to their neighbor
farmers who plant largely of cotton
and but liltle corn, at $1 per bushel
before the first day of June next.
I believe the cotton crop of the cot
ton States is valued at about $800,000,-
000 annually, and whether they make
two , four or six million bales, it is val
ued at about the same. This is cer
tainly a very large sum of money to
be made by the people in so small a
territory of country and it so sparely
settled as the cotton States are ; and
it would seem, that it ought to make
them the richest people on the earth.
But strange to say, while they have
made nearly every other section and
country rich, they have grown poor
themselves! In my humble opinion,
the reason is mainly because they fail
to raise the necessary amount of corn,
wheat, meat, mules &c. to do them.
If they would do this, and stop the
mighty flood of cotton money that
goes to the great Northwest every
year for these articles, and to the East
after unnecessary yankee inventions
—wooden nutmegs, shignons, &c. I
verily believe they would in a few
years be the richest and most inde
pendent people on the Globe. As ob
solete as the idea is ; and as much as
it has been ridiculed of late, cotton
would absolutely be “King.” He
only needs to be properly annointed
(managed) by his subjects to be crown
ed as such.
I wish I had, and could wield the
pen of a “ Nemo,” and could elabo
rate these ideas as he might, I think
I could as successfully drive you from
the erroneous position of cotton vs.
corn, as he did you, from your oppo
sition to “ commercial fertilizers;”
for I certainly think you were nearer
right in that war, than you are in ad
vising farmers, (even of Cherokee
Georgia) to plant “ more cotton” and
“ less corn.” Respectfully,
Corn.
“NEMO” AT THE AGRICULTURAL
CONVENTION IN SAVANNAH.
Messrs Editors:— ln this fast
age, the public loses interest in any
thing two weeks old; and therefore I
shall say very little about the Conven
tion that assembled in Savannah on
the 22d of February. You have al
ready heard, that it was a great suc
cess. We found out there, that oats
were good food for horses and mules;
and if they were sowed, in the right
place, at the right time, and did not
freeze out, or take the rust, or fall
down, or grow too short, and if we
had time, and could get the hands to
harvest them, and keep the rats from
eating them, after they were harvest
ed ; they would be fed profitably to
stock, and it would keep them in good
order, provided they did not have to
work.
We also found out that sweet pota
toes were good to eat in the w’inter,
provided they were not spoiled by ex
posure to the cold.
It was argued, and carried by a
large majority vote, that milch cows
would eat rutabaga turnips, provided
cow peas, meal, wheat bran, and what
ever else nourishing, you could get,
be added to them, and the whole well
boiled.
It was also decided, that dogs, like
their owners, were fond of mutton,
and that these sections of the country,
where there were more dogs than 1
sheep, wool raising would not prove j
a success.
We also had a sharp debate, on the i
subject of manures. The Convention
as usual showed their practical sense,
by recommending their use, unless
the soil was too rich. The experience i
of the past, showed that poor soils
would yield better with, than without
them. On account of the high prices
of guano, it was recommended to ap
ply it only to marketable crops. It j
should not be used in the vegetable
gardens, unless very much diluted;!
as the highly concentrated essence
was obliged to effect, to a more or less
extent, the taste of the vegetables.
Horace Greeley, in his work “on
what he knows about farming,” deci-1
ded the point, by saying, that a per
son who drinks rot gut whisky, and j
chews mean tobacco, might like gu- i
ano applied to potatoes, but he much
prefered gravy on his.
Although lam obliged to sayiift f
myself, Bartow was v eil represented j
in the Convention. The Senior and j
Junior delegation attracted a good j
deal of attention. Capt. C. W. How- J
ard, Major Mark A. Cooper, and Col.
Robt. A. Crawford, on account of their
grey hairs, their good clothes, and
their military titles, were the observ
ed of all. They, and the President
seemed to be very intimate. They
were constantly bowing to the Presi
dent, and the President bowing back
to the “ gentlemen from Bartow.”
Col. Crawford’s hobby, was minerolo
gy. Maj. Cooper proved himself the
Horace Greeley of the South; and
Capt. Howard had become so brimful
of knowledge of all kind, that for fear
he would run over, the Convention
determined to send him a missionary
to the benighted agriculturists of Eu
rope. Being conversant with all for
eign languages, he will reflect honor
upon Georgia in general, and Bartow’
in particular.
The junior delegation, composed of
R. M. Stiles, T. J. Lyon, and your
humble correspondent were very much
appreciated, for their fresh and inno
cent looks, their modest reticence,
and their willingness to sit in silence,
under the teachings of the gamaliels
of the Convention, and absorb knowl
edge, for their owti, and their coun
ty’s benefit.
The Convention, as a body will al
ways remember, with gratitude, the
magnificent hospitality of the citizens
of Savannah. A description of the
night entertainment of the w'hole Con
vention, by Mr. Green, at his palatial
residence; the inspection of the police
force of the city, commanded by that
gallant gentleman Gen. Anderson;
the excursion to Ft. Pulaski, on the
splendid steamer, the City Point, are
each worthy of a separate article.
“ But I have not time.”
T. J. Lyon and myself being guests
of R. M. Stiles, every attention that
we possibly had time to receive, was
showered upon us. We w r ere shown
every point of interest in the truly
beautiful city of Savannah. Its parks
and gardens, ornamented with ever
greens, flowers, fountains and statues.
We visited the shipping, and saw
vessels from every part. We were
driven to the pleasant village of
Thunderbolt, and the cemetery of
Bonaventure, and saw a most gorge
ous collection of huge live oaks fes
tooned with moss. We were honored
with a railroad excursion to the Isle
of Hopes, and feasted on roasted oys
ters and etceteras, to our stomach’s
content. We will long remember the
social gatherings at tne ciud rooms,
and the elegant dinners and suppers
we were complimented with, as the
friends of R. M. Stiles, who every one
seem to admire and love.
But the time came at last for me to
leave. So early one morning, I had
my baggage transferred to a steamer,
and I was soon on the bosom of the
broad Atlantic. Yours,
Nemo.

CARTERSVILLE
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 romplcte
and thorough education, which, heretofore, tliev
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 oiir ultimate aim will be to
build up an Institution of the highest order.
Wo intend to prepare the youth who mar he
entrusted to our charge, for all the walks, either
of private or of public life ; and whilst we are
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, wliicli
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 he from $2 00 to $5 00 per
month, according to grade, payable monthly.
The government of this institution will be
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.
Lnrge 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
immediately reform, or else retire from the
Institution.
As no corrupting nor demoralizing 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.
