I«r Reading matter on every page *' DOUBLE DAILY MAIL. Tyocal Editor Standard & Express You can inform your readers that I am about making arrangements with the Superintendent of Railway Mail Service to have a double daily mail from Atlanta to this place. A pouch of mail matter will be put up at the Atlanta Post-oftice for this place. It will be forwarded on the day train, and a pouch will be put up at this of fice for Atlanta. This will be a very convenient ar rangement for the business men of this place. Letters received by the night train can be answered by the day train, and those received by day train can be answered by night train. This arrangement will impose addi tional labor on this office without a cost of extra compensation, but I hope the citizens of the place will appreci ate the arrangement. On receipt of the nyxil we will have to close the of fice a short time to distribute the mail. Respectfully, J. 11. Wikle, P. M.

From the Ist of July to the Ist of September Augusta shipped over the Georgia Railroad 63,222 watermelons and 15,782 cantaloupes. i THE 7TEL CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT. But little, if anything, has been done towards canvassing this Dis trict, except the speeches which Gen. Young lias made, in view of the Con gressional nomination which has just ; taken place, and one or two others made by Ben. Hill and Dr. Miller at Rome. During the session of Bartow | Superior Court last week, not a sin gle word was said in behalf of the Democracy, while Judge Walker, the Radical candidate for Governor, ad dressed the people at the Court House. The Democratic elector for this District was here during the week, yet not one word was said by him. If this is the way in which this region of the State is to be handled during the present cam paign, we can predict no very great good to the party. We wish to let the party know that this Cherokee region needs attention, discussion, and thorough, active canvassing. We would especially call the attention of the gentleman at the head of the Democratic Executive Committee to this state of things, and earnestly ask that something may be done towards remedying the evil. We tell you that here lies the Democratic strength of the State, and that if a failure should take place in Cherokee to come up largely in the present elec tion, that the general result will not be very palatable to the party. We are not satisfied at this state of things, and regarding the necessities of the case as of the most urgent character, we call attention to the subject, with thehope that something more like active, energetic interest may be displayed by the head men of the party. The people need en lightenment, discussion, and organi zation; and unless this is done and done quickly and efficiently, we fear that our majority will be cut down rather more than would be comfor table. A word to the wise ought to be sufficient, but so far almost noth ing has been done. If, as some think, this is now “missionary ground,” will not the Democrocy occupy the field with its best and ablest forces ? The sooner the better. TIIE ‘‘STRAIGIIT-OUTS.” A word to our friends, the “straight outs,” or as they prefer to be called the true Democracy. Believe u.s when we say that we do not in our hearts feel disposed to detract any thing from your right to be called “ true Democrats”—we accord cheer fully, gladly, this proud cognomen, and upon all the principles which you so zealousy and ably avow, we give you the right hand of fellowship, nor would we abate one jot or tittle the zeal and ability with which you main tain them. Right, every word right truth, every word truth ; and we feel that they should ever he held in sa cred reverence and regard if our lib erties are to he preserved. For their very preservation the great Democra cy of all the States has seen proper to form alliance with the Liberal Repub licans, ignoring for the time being the distracting issues and heartburn ings of the past, if peradventure by hearty co-operation and the blessing of God, the infamous radical party, the party of oppression and of wrong, may by their united action be over thrown, and the liberties of the peo ple perpetuated. What can you ef fect by your position towards realiz ing this most desired end, what, hut the distraction of your political friends, and the disintegration of the party which you love, and the neces sary success of your political foes? Is not this so? Can you soberly re gard it otherwise? We pray you take the “ sober second thought,” and do not now attempt an impossi ble, it may he, a disastrous thing. Such we consider it, such all your friends consider it, nay, such is the fact, your political enemies them selves being the judges. Not long since, and this we have from the gentleman himself, a direct and unblushing approach was made to one of the most prominent anti- Greeley Democrats of |this county, a gentleman of character and ability by a well known and publicly professed Radical of this place, and an office holder under Grant at that, proposing that this gentleman should go as a straight out delegate to the Louisville Convention. What comfort this Radical got wo forbear to say, hut venture to predict that he will be more chary of his advice the next time. But why this presumption, and why this active radical zeal, and why we ask you to consider, this glad and prompt and hearty endorsement by the radicals in this county and everywhere else of the straight out convention. But again. Circulars and private letters or one at least, as weare furth er reliably from the Radical Senator in Congress, the Hon. Z. Chandler, have been addressed to a well known and prominent anti- Greeley Democrat of this place, pro posing to him remuneration ample and satifactory if he would travel and establish in various portions of the State clubs in the interest of General Grant and Radicalism. There can be no doubt of the truth of this state ment, and now we ask of any candid man, nay we put it to every anti- Greelej Democrat in the State, to ask himself and answer, why all this, if it is not because the radicals them selves feel and believe that you fellow Democrats are really the friends of Grant and radicalism as opposed to Greeley and democracy, and as such, that you can be approached even with moneyed offers in their hands? What we pray you does all this mean, and can you any longer suffer your selves and the patriotic motives which prompt your action to be made the very instruments of your own destruction and the ruin of your friends? The Louisville Convention accord ing to programme has met and ad-* journed, Charles O’Connor, the man whom they desired to run for the Presidency, having declined the nom ination tendered him. Whether he will yet accept or not depends upon the efforts which shall be made to al ter his determination which for the present seem anything but flattering. Many of the members of the conven tion, satisfied that the whole thing was run in the interest of Grant and 1 Radicalism, have returned disgusted with the political manoeuvre, and de termined to go with their old friends and vote for Greeley. It is the boast of Grant’s supporters, that the staight out movement in Georgia, headed by Mr. Stephens, will carry a vote of 15,- 000, which of course will lose the State to the Democracy, aud bind Georgia once more, and it may be, j for all time, to the car of Radicalism, j Is this the end for which you are drilled in, to aid in this inglorious fight ? Is this to be the result of all the efforts, which in your honest zeal, you were laying out for the preserva tion of the old Democracy ? Are you willing to join your hands with those of the murderous yet wily crew, who under the guise of a mere defeat of Horace Greeley, so far from giving any comfort to Democracy, would bury her under the mailed boot of Grant, and by your aid work out the very ills for your party and your country which you have sought to avert by this iiltimed and unfortunate movement ? We do not believe it, and ask for this once a return to the friends and the party, where only you could ever feel at home. TWO AMERICAN GIRLS. A PEN-PICTURE BY JOHN RUSK IN. John Ruskin, the celebrated art critic, is not disposed to be at all com plimentary to American lady tourists in Europe. He thus pictures, with an acrid pen, two American girls that he met in the train betwen Venice and Verona: “ Between Venice and Verona! Portia’s villa perhaps upon the Bren ta—Juliet’s tomb to be visited in the evening—blue against the southern sky, the hills of Petrarch’s home. Exquisite midsummer sunshine, with low rays, glanced through the vine leaves; all the Alps were clear from the lake of Garda to Cadore, and to fartherest Tyrol. What a.princess’ chamber is this, if those are princes ses, and what dreams might they not dream therein.” But these “two American girls, specimens of Western civilization,” saw nothing of all this. “By infinite self-indulgence they had reduced themselves simply to two pieces of white putty that could feel pain. The flies and the dust stuck to them as to clay, and they perceive between Venice and Verona nothing but the flies and the dust. They pulled down the blinds the mo ment they entered the carriage, and then sprawled, and writhed, and toss ed among the cushions of it, in vain contest during the whole fifty miles, with every miserable sensation of bodily affliction that could make time intolerable. They were dressed in thin white frocks coining vaguely open at the backs as they stretched or wriggled ; they had French novels, lemons and lumps of sugar to beguile their state with, the novels hanging together by the ends of a string that had once stitched them, or adhering at the corners in densely bruised dog’s ears, out of which the girls, wetting their fingers, occasionally extracted a gluey leaf. From time to time they cut a lemon open, ground a lump of sugar backwards and for wards over it till every fiber was a treacly pulp, then sucked the pulp and gnawed the white skin into leathery strings, for the sake of its bitter.” Hum! What think you, O reader, of the above picture? Overdrawn? not at all. John Ruskin saw two, between Venice and Verona, in the train; condemn not John Ruskin; but get thyself into a train, say, be tween New York aud Troy, or if that be not convenient, between Atlanta and Macon will do, and you shall, in all likelihood, witness the same phe nomenon. Do you wish to observe the same phenomenon a thousand times? Get into the same train, or any other that may be convenient, exactly a tlfousand times, and be sat isfied. Sayest thou that surely the great painter must have dipped his pen in aquafortis when he painted this picture? Ruskin is a great crit ic, and possibly he thought it neces sary to dip his pen .in aquafortis, that the picture might be true to life. Venice, Verona, Portia’s Villa, The Brenta, Juliet’s Tomb, Garda, Ca dore, Tyrol, Petrarch’s Home. Pre cisely ! What did these “ two Amer ican Girls,” that “ by infinite self-in dulgence had reduced themselves simply to two pieces of white putty that could feel pain,” know about such things? What did they knows that is the word, not, what did they care; for how could they care for what they knew nothing about? What did they knoiv of Portia’s Villa, Ju liet’s Tomb, Pdlrarch’s Home? Not a xfhit more, in all probability, than they did of the Ganoids, the Egyp tian Zodiac, or the Nebular Hypothe sis! Now whose fault is all this? Blame not these two girls that Ruskin saw, O reader; nor even the thousand that you shall see by following the directions given above; or, if blame them you will, blame them not half so much as Society, the parent of the evil. The United States has, within the last few years, given several mil lions of dollars for the education of American boys, not one cent for the education of American girls! Here in Georgia we have the “ University of Georgia” for our boys, “Smoke ville Female Seminary for our girls! We do not wish to be understood as saying that all American girls are like the two that John Ruskin met; fiir from it. On the other hand this editor himself can testify to having seen one not long since, at a camp meeting, who would appreciate aud admire the beauties between Venice and Verona in a manner that would please even John Ruskin.

Fellow Citizens: —As my name has been used to some extent in connec tion with the approaching election for Representative, I feel it my duty to set myself right before you. I had thought of submitting my name for your suffrage at the October election, but circumstances, beyond the con trol of man, have completely changed my mind, and I would very respect fully withdraw my name from the canvass. I would, under ordinary circumstances, take pleasure in serv ing you, but the present surroundings preclude such an idea. You have good men before you, that are able and willing to serve you, and I hope you will make a judicious selection. It behooves us|at all times to select good men to enact and execute the laws. Hop' ng that the political cloud that hangs over us may vanish into mist, and that peace and prosperity may be ours, I am, fellow-citizens, with profound thanks for the mani festations of friendship exhibited to ward me, your obedient and humble servant, J. J. A. Sharp. C’AHTiER.SVIIJLE, Ga., ■Sept. 6th, 1872, Hon. John W. Wofford: Dear Sir: The Dem ocratic Convention of delegates rep resenting the counties of Floyd, Chatt ooga and Bartow, composing the For ty Second Senatorial District, assem bled at this place to-day, appointed the undersigned a committee to no tify you, that you were unanimously nominated as the Democratic candi date to represent the people of said District in the next General Assembly of Georgia. We therefore have the honor and do hereby notify you of your unani mous nomination, and respectfully request an early reply to this commu nication. W. L. Kendrick, T. W. Alexander, T. W. Milner, John Jones, Committee. To John W. Wofford, Cartersville, Ga. CARTERSVILLE, Sept. 7th, 1872. To Col. T. W. Alexander, W. L, Kendrick , Then. IE. Milner and John Jones, Committee: Gents: Yours of the sth informing me of my unanimous nomination “as the Democratic can didate to represent the people of the 42d Senatorial District in the next General Assembly of Georgia,” is re ceived. As I have heretofore mani fested my willingness to accept the position the kindness of the Conven tion you represent has assigned me, it would be uncandid to hesitate about doing so at once. If the action of the Convention is ratified by the voters of Bartow, Floyd aud Chattooga at the polls in October, it will be my earnest endeavor as their Senator to do nothing that will provoke a regret at their choice. While I shall in all matters do what my own judgment tells me is best, it will be my highest ambition to win their approbation. I shall deem it no common honor, if elected, to represent in the Senate of Georgia, so intelligeut a constituency as the people of the three counties named. The position of Senator under the Constitution and laws of Georgia, is not a sinaeure, but one of grave re sponsibility. The Senate almost as much as the Governor is responsible for an efficient judiciary. Nota judge nor a Solicitor General can be ap pointed without the “ advice and con sent of the Senate.” This power was conferred upon the higher branch of the General Assembly for wise pur poses and should be so used. To the duties imposed by this important trust, if I do not bring as much ability as some other might, I will promise all the earnestness and zeal necessary for a proper discharge of its obliga tions. And as the interval between this and the election is very short, too short perhaps for a thorough canvass before the people of the questions in volved, I must be pardoned for in voking the hoifest efforts of every Democrat in behalf of the party’s candidates. Unity and concert of ac tion are the only guarantees of party success. Any other course, cau’t do otherwise, than produce discord and consequent defeat. We have chosen as the iiag bearers of Democratic principles, men true and tried. With James M. Smith as our candidate for the Chief Magistra cy of our grand old commenwealth, one of her own sons, the man who by virtue of his personal merit and sound capacity has risen from the black smith’s forge to his present eminence, and with Gen’l P. M. B. Young, the gallant soldier, the efficient and pop ular legislator, a united Democratic | action is certain, and success inevita ! ble. And in this invocation of Demo ! cratic power, let us not forget the war i being waged betweendespotisisni and I liberty ! Let our mite be thrown in to the scales of the latter for the de ! struction of the former! The first is photographed in Grant, the latter in j Greeley. It is said Mr. Greeley has j championed all the heresies of the last thirty years! Suppose that true! Our concern is the'present policy of Mr. Greeley, and not in his past opin ions. The issues are dead that gave rise to those views. Our lives, prop erty and liberty are living issues that address themselves to us every day. Grant’s views are emblemized in hand cuffs, bastiles and Southern humilia tion ; Greeley’s in Amnesty and common justice to all. No despo tism so overwhelming as that of ma jorities over minorities. Grant has well said he has “no policy but the will of the people.” In “ people” he means the radicals who elected him. This great centralised despotism finds no barrier in Grant to their worst purposes, but a bloody tool ready for the execution of their vilest dictates. Greeley is not all we want; he is not all we feel we ought to have; he is not all we hope at some time to get ; but do not say he is no better than Grant. We can at least hope for something in Greeley; in Grant even hope is dead. If Greeley is electedhe will be forced to take his counsellors from the ranks of the Democrats or moderate Republicans; surrounded by such influences, with a knowledge that his position is due to Democratic votes, votes cast upon the issues made in this campaign, is it possible for any sane man to assert all this will have no influence upon his policy ? If he is mortal, he will never forsake the men who have protected and de fended him for those who have ma ligned and slandered him. If Gree ley’s principles are no better than Grant’s, they can’t be worse, and in him the nation will have in its chief office at least brains and personal in tegrity, in place of a military raurab skull, professional “gift taker” and summer junkerter at Long Branch. But I feel there is much of good for us, for the whole country in this movement. It is one step in the right direction. Many members will be carried into the Lower branch of the national Legislature, elected upon the questions made between Grant and Greeley, men who will co-operate with Mr. Greeley in furtherance of his views; views on the good side of society; views for the protection of personal liberty and the property of the citizen. Let’s take this step; enough in the same direction will car ry us to first principles. I am respectfully your obedient servant, John W. Wofford. Mr. Greeley doesn’t chew tobacco, doesn’t smoke, and drinks no whisky or other intoxicating beverages. ; GENERAL PRESENTMENTS. We, the Grand Jury, selected for the first week of the September Term of Bartow Superior Court, beg leave to make the following (tenoral Pre sentments : The books of the various county officers have been examined, and are found to be neatly and accurately kept. Some of them are models in these respect. The interests of the Poor House we find to be properly cared for by by the Superintendent, Mr. J. F. Lynn. The pauper houses are in good condition and neatly kept. There are now on the place 17 pau pers, including men, women and children. One of these, Matthew Goodson, is a suitable subject for the Lunatic Asyluru. Mr. Wm. Pinion, a relative, proposes to take him to his house and care for him, if the county will pay him $lB 88? per month. This contract would save the county some $75 per year, and we would recommend this course to the Ordinary. We find the jail to be in good con dition—only 7 inmates, which shows a decided improvement in the mor als of our county. We would recommend that the Ordinary pay two dollars per day to Bailiffs who have been sworn in for this week. The roads are reported to be gen erally in good condition. We would except the crossing near Bartow' Furnace. We recommend that the Ordinary confer with the W. & A. R. R. Cos. with reference to making a cut under the road where it crosses the old Ala bama road, near the residence of T. F. Moore, the passage at that point being now both difficult and danger ous. That the Ordinary be requested to confer with Mr. Crocket with refer ence to running the main road from Cartersville to Euharlee through his field, crossing the new bridge over Pettit’s creek, thereby avoiding the bad hills on the old route, and w’e suggest that the road hands on that section build the new fences and that compensation be allowed Mr. Crock et for damages. We recommend that the Ordinary still the present Court House when ever it can be sold for as much as §15,000, and that the proceeds of said sale be applied to the erection of an other Court House on a more favora ble location. It has been estimated that the interruption of the business of the Court by the railroad trains, causes a pecuniary loss to the county of not less than $2,500 per year. This consideration, taken in connection with the excessive annoyance result ing from the same cause, moves us to recommend most earnestly the sale of the present Court House. The thanks of the body is hereby tendered to His Honor, Judge Mc- Cutcheon, and Solicitor General Broyles, and to the officers of this Court, for their services and courtesy to us during the week. We recommend the publication of these General Presentments in the Cartersville Standard & Express. RICHARD C. ROBERTS, Foreman. JOEL STONE, JASPER ASHWORTH, TILMON F. BRIDGES, JAMES A.

Jones, an old and respected citizen of our city, died on the morning of the 29th of August last. In his early manhood great hopes were entertained for him—no youth in alt the land was more fair and promising. He entered public life at an early age; was an officer of court, a trader, a rising man, and seemed to enjoy life; had money plentifully and a great many friends. In the year 1856 he met with severe pecuniary reverses, from which he never recovered. In the meantime, lost his first wife, which seemed to j cast a shadow upon all his future life. He then lived in Chambers county, Ala. In 1857 he came to this place, and soon entered the practice of law. Endowed naturally with an intellect of high order, he would have ranked among the first in the profession, but for lack of an early and thorough education and habits of study and ap- ■ pligation. He was endowed with the highest social qualities and great kindness of heart. His attachments and friend ships were of the strongest, most sin cere and reliable character. H's thirst for social life led him into company at an early age,,much of which was injurious to him. “ Evil communi cations corrupJgood manners;” nev was this scrij*fie more fully verified. Born and res?i l by religious parents, taught religjjh and piety around and at tlie family altar, the fond hope of his parents was that he would escape the pollutions of the world. Unfortunately he imbibed skeptical views, and was troubled with them up to a few months before his death. He was converted from the error of his way years ago, and joined the church, in this place, 1858. Such were the habits of his life that it seemed impossible for him to live religiously; his membership iu the church remained to his death. In his last sickness, which was for months, he was led to consider his ways, and earnestly, with all his heart, to pray for full salvation in the blood of the Lamb. After much reading and enquiry of the brethren he was enabled by faith to lay hold of the promise. He was blest with the clearest and brightest testimony of his acceptance with God. His soul exulted in tri umphant faith, often shouting aloud the praises of God. He almost liter ally died shouting. Never have we witnessed clearer demonstrations of the truth of re ligion, and of its power to save and prepare a soul for its sufferings here and for the dying hour. On one of the many occasions of rejoicings he had, he remarked, “I wish every skeptic in the land was present, and just witness one of these meetings.” Here he was on the verge of the grave, shouting, happy—with Father, Moth er, Wife, Brothers and Sisters and many others shouting him over the stream of death. He said on several occasions that it seemed a miracle to him that God should 9ave him, show so much mer cy to him; he had spent his life con-« T I IST - W ARE AND STOVE EMPORIUM, STALL & ADAMS, CARTKJUSVII*LE, GEORGIA.

On one occasion he said, “ I fear that some will take license from my case to go on in sin and neg lect of religion, saying here was Capt. Jones, he enjoyed life, walked in the ways of self-indulgence, was not re ligious, who when he came to die was all right.” He warned all others not to live as he had, that if he had his life to live over he would live very differently. Many were his ex hortations to his children, relations and friends to live for God, to be whole-souled, zealous Christians, and to meet him in Heaven. He attrib uted much of the gracious influences of the Spirit with himjto the prayers of his father and mother, who had prayed for him ever since he was born, and were praying still. Without a struggle he breathed his last. He was 46 years, 7 months old. Farewell dear Brother! By the grace of God we’ll meet you on Ca naan’s Happy Shore. “ J.” New Advertisements. JP C.
