This is very sad. Atlanta is negotiating for the improvment of her streets, through the aid of Mulford’s Patent Improv ed Wooden Pavement. The Congressional election in the Eighth District will take place on the 26th of February. Mr. Stephens will have no opposition. Sam’l R.

The object of the bill before the Legislature, to create the office of Tax Assessor, is to have property valued by a public assessor, and not by the owner. General Gordon’s election gives general satisfaction, as he is a good and true man, and one who will re flect credit upon his State and protect the great and high trust committed to his keeping. The hair of every individual crea ture in Griffin has been standing on end because of the supposed pres ence of small-pox in the place.

Meridian, Miss 40 80 133 New Orleans, La We publish above, for the informa tion of our readers, and particularly for all those residing at Way Stations, the rates of Transportation from Lou isville, Kentucky. This, we presume, is a pretty fair criterion of the rates charged from other points, and a lit tle examination will show how great and grievoi are the burdens borne by all who are not so fortunate as to reside in some favored locality. Af ter receiving the published card of rates, we applied at the depot of this place, and there learned that the av erage freight per hundred weight from Louisville to Cartersville was from a dollar to a dollar and a quar ter. Take, then, this statement as true, and it i 3 so, for it is authorita tive, and compare it with the ratio charged at other points near, as well as far away, and below this, and we then see what a severe and unjust discrimination is made against this place, and all other way stations.— For instance, from Louisville to At lanta, the height on articles in the first column in the list is sixty-eight cents, whil > to Cartersville it is stated to be sevei ty-flve cents; to Savan nah, Charleston, S. C., and Bruns wick, it is -cventy cents, and so on all the way down, in relation to all the points cf delivery. The same rel ative discrimination in all other arti cles mentioned in the other three col umns, making, as we have already ThtS pTace, from a dollar to a dollar and a quarter per hundred, and bear ing most heavily upon the purses and prosperity of this section. It is a little hard and we can see no rea son for any such discrimination, ex cept that we are in the power of these corporations, and must, therefore, submit to any exaction they may be pleased to make, or else go without transporta Fen. It is hard that a man in Kentucky or Tennessee can trade to Savannah, Augusta, Charleston, or Atlanta on better terms than can any of the citizens, on the State Road, in upper Georgia; that a dealer in wheat, in Adairsville, or a miller of flour, in Cartersville, can be under sold in Macon by a man from St. Louis, because the price of transpor tation to the one is so much more fa vorable.than to the other; and it is hard that those who never paid a dol lar to the building of the State Road, and are not citizens of the State, should, in all this regard, be entitled to, and receive favors and benefits from the corporators, which are de nied to the citizens of Georgia, whose money built the road, and who, if any, are entitled to discrimination in their favor. The reply is that the way stations all suffer in the same respect, and that all railroads do this very thing, that is to say, that the thing done is the argument for doing it. The people in all this section, by reason of these discriminations, are compelled to pay more for their goods, of every description ; the mer chant has to pay more for his goods ; the cotton of the planter sells for less than at other more favored points, and the prosperity and advancement of this place, and all others situated like herself, retarded. It is not fair, it is not right, it is not just. From calculations made upon the freights at this depot, which are considered reasonable and correct, this place pays, at this depot, by reason of these very discriminotions, the sum of at least thirty thousand dollars per an num over and above what should be paid, were the freight lists cut down to an eqality with the regions below us. If the roads can deliver goods and freights to parties below at sixty cents per hundred pounds, surely they could do the same at all inter mediate points above, because of a shorter distance, and therefore of less outlay to them. Look at the freight lists here published; see the rates that we are charged at this place, and every man 4111 at once feel the great injustice tl is done this section and her people. Remove those tariffs and anew spring would be given to ourindustr and growth. If there be no legal ms loof redressing the great wrong that is thus done the good people of the Cherokee region, we at least must devise some other means by which we may deliver ourselves from wbat we conceive and feel to be a wrong, in every aspect of the ques tion. Wherever competition arises between reads, freights come down, but have r ut one road to travel over and to transport your goods and cot ton, and tl ry win tax you foreve r Corporations are screws which never .ose, but hold all the power they get. GIVE TO YOUR TEETH CLOSE ATTENTION. One of the first things that should demand our care is our teeth, as from them we derive great benefit and pleasure, or suffer mortification and pain. There are but few persons but j what feel mortified to loose one or j more of these important organs, and all shrink from the pain thatisneees- j sarily inflicted by the extracting of a tooth. The human teeth, as a gener al thing, could be made to last to a good old age by giving them proper attention. That they do decay and are often lost every person well knows, and if every person would only profit by this knowledge, and give to their teeth that attention they deserve, having the decay removed as fast as it makes its appearance, and have the cavities properly filled with gold, there would seldom be found a toothless mouth in the land. Where persons have been so unfor tunate as to loose their teeth by de cay, and the mouth is left filled with irritating pieces, these should be im mediately removed, as the retention of them in the mouth is, in nearly every case, very deleterious to health, and are sources of great annoyance and often of great pain. These irri tants are often the cause of great in flammation in the gums, which pro duces supuration, and the least pres sure that is made upon them opposite the roots of decayed teeth the puss will ooze out around the necks of said roots in great profusion. Hence in eating, this poisonous matter is min gled with the food we eat, and is car ried into the stomach, where it is taken up by the digestive organs and distributed throughout the entire sys tem, and not only so, but it is often taken up by the circulatory organs of the mouth and deposited in the sys tem, and we had just as well con clude that it would find a resting place in the Lungs, the Liver, or the Brain, as upon the hand, for these are as much, yea, more, under the in fluence of the circulation than are the hands, and w hen such poisonous sub stances take hold upon the lungs there is no escaping that most fearful of all diseases, consumption. When it lodges upon the Liver we can’t ex pect any thing but a diseased Liver; when upon the Brain, an aching head, a nervous system, or, it may be, inflammation of the Brain, or, what is termed by some, brain fever. During a practice and research for eighteen years past, many cases of great suffering have been brought to my knowledge, caused exclusively by these uncomfortable and useless pieces of teeth ; the proof of which was that in a very short time after the removal of all decayed roots, and the proper treatment of such teeth as would do to save, the patients nearly ail were restored to their usual health. You will please pardon me for bringing before you the above, but it is the office of Dentistry, as much as it is of Medicine, to relieve suffering humanity, and if I am only instrumental in aiding or benefitting one sufferer by sending out this cir time and expense consumed in get ting it before the people. Yours with great respect, R. A. Seale. IMMIGRATION AND DIRECT TRADE. The following sensible article from the Marietta Journal, accords so well with our own views upon the subject, that we cannot forbear giving them a place in our columns. There is not a particle of doubt in our mind but that the course of policy suggested by the Journal is the right one to be pursued by the Southern people. “We have before us a series of let ters in pamphlet form written by W. McKay on the interest of our State especially in regard to immigration and direct trade with Europe. The writer insists first upon the inaugu ration of effective immigration thro’ legislative agency as the means of se curing direct trade and the liberation of the South from commercial vassal age to the North. “This labor question is really the source of all of our industrial troubles and we will never avoid confusion and unsatisfactory results in our in dustrial affairs until that is placed upon a proper basis. The immedi ate difficulty is, not that the negro is unreliable or that we get no more la bor from Europe—but that we do not properly estimate the situation in which the revolution of the labor sys tem has placed us. What we need is, not any sort of labor, but remumra,- tive labor and that alone we should seek. “Before the war it was estimated that the culture of catton in the South did not yield exceeding three per cent, upon the capital invsted. The negro is now free—not so efficiently directed —his labor less productive and more costly. Is it surprising that cotton planting on a large scale is being abandoned throughout the cotton belt? Those large planters, in the long run, would do better to give away their lands. “The truth is we are revolutionized and do not fully realize the situation. There is no safety for us but in cast ing off all absolute dependence upon extraneous labor. The neerro is rap idly segregating—he is leaving the old cotton fields of Georgia, and the time is upon us when cotton culture, with his labor, as a system, has pass ed away. It is all right. Both races will be better apart. Nor should we worry ourselves or incur useless ex pense in securing Legislative expen ditures to secure white labor. That ca» be better accomplished in anoth er way. Let the whole State realize the fact, as the people of Cobb county have well illustrated it, that farming with our own labor is an agreeable and remunerative occupation in Geor gia, and then with our natural, social and moral advantages, other labor in abundance will come to build up The aggregate wealth of the State. “To this complexion it must come at last. You cannot buy or rent plan tations in Georgia—hire laborers, with all the necessary appliances, and make money in the culture of cotton. But, you may own a farm of moderate extent—you may cultivate it with profit and increase its value year after year with your own labor and direction and find a life as pleas ant as any the lot of man affords, and when Georgia becomes dotted all over with farms like these there will be found no lack of immigrants de sirous of imitating our example. The Dispatch is anew paper, just issued in Newnan. The first number contains the salutations of J. W. Pearce, editor, and J. L. Birch, local editor. * PRESS MEMORIAL. To the IJhnorabte, (he Senate and House jpTtepreJieitfaMtts of l/te Gen eral Assembly. The undersigned would respectful ly submit, that at the last convention of the State Press Association, held in this city on the 11th instant, they were appointed a committee to me morialize your honorable Iwdies up on the subject of the tax now laid up on printing material. Your memorialists would respect fully show, that since the adoption of the ad valorem system of taxation by the State of Georgia, in the year 1850, up to the time that the State govern ment passed under the control of an officer of the United States army, no tax has been laid or collected on the property, solvent debts, etc., owned by the proprietors of newspa per offices, outside of the type, press es and fixtures necessary to carry on the art of printing. A reference to the tax digests now on file in the of fice of the Comptroller General will substantiate the truth of said state ment. Without entering into an argument upon the subject of taxation—a sub ject which has puzzled and baffled the closet and most successful stu dents of political economy, your me morialists would suggest as a glaring inequality and injustice the tax laid upon the tools of trade of the printer, while those of the blacksmith, the capenter and other artisans are ex empted from the burden. To us it looks like class legislation —the most dangerous legislation that can be indulged in by those selected to equalize the public burdens and to devise ways and means to promote the public intelligence, welfare and prosperity. Your memorialists would further submit that those upon whom it is proposed to lay this tax are little able to bear the burden. It would be a reflection upon your honorable bodies ;to hint that you w r ere in ignorance of this fact that the newspaper business has never been and is not now a profitable one in the South. With a country somewhat sparely settled, with defective mail facilities and all the legitimate expenses which attend publication elsewhere, it has been im possible for journalists and publishers to amass those fortunes, which have in some instances followed the busi ness in portions of the North and West. Here they 'have been com pelled to undergo severe and constant labor, to receive but meagre thanks, and a living which embraces only the necessaries of life. Men who have contributed much to mould the destinies of the country throughout a life-time have found themselves in their old age with nothing to show for the labor ex pended. These facts must be familiar to your honorable bodies. Your memorialists would further show r that the allegation to the effect that the press of the State had made a compromise during the sitting of the last Legislature, whereby it was agreed that if the taxes accumulated from the establishment of military government up to that period were wiped out that the press would in fu ture agree to taxation, is not true in fact. It may be that some such proposi tion was made, but your memorialists would respectfully submit that the Press Association of the State, neither in its collective or individual capaci ty, was a party to the transaction, but was at the time referred to and is still opposed to any such compro mise. Your memorialists would further submit that in view of the many and various public benefits derived from the printing and publication of news papers, in consideration that they are esteemed the most powerful pro moters of intelligence, virtue and seem that a wis ; e policy* would sug gest that in place of hampering these able and active agencies every en couragement should be extended to them. Your memorialists would show that they have made diligent enquiry as to the course pursued by other coun tries and States upon the subject of the taxation of the press. In reply to letters addressed to leading gentle men of New York, Pennsylvania and Ohio, and other Northern and West ern States, by a member of the Press Association, the information was fur nished that the same system prevail ed in those States which was estab lished in Georgia previous to the overthrow of its State Government. Since 1855 England has laid no stamp duty on her newspapers, and Russia, whose Government is always repre sented to be one of absolute despot ism, goes so far as to offer a subsidy to her press. Your memorialists would further submit that the ancient alignment, “King, Commons, Clergy and Press,” has been changed by popular con sent, and that the Press no longer submits to the precedence of any pro fession in the matters of dignity, honor and extended usefulness. Be lieving that if this matter might be submitted to the readers of the va rious journals now published within the limits of Georgia it would be de cided in favor of the Press. Your memorialists respectfully sub mit these considerations to your hon orable bodies. Trusting that your memorialists may not lay themselves liable to vain boasting they would respectfully submit to your' honora ble bodies that the press of the State has had no reason to be ashamed of the record made in the days when it was the only agency left to confront the bayonet of the usurper and the corrupting influences of the adventu rer who cowered under its attacks. With faith in the wisdom and jus tice of your honorable bodies, your memorialists respectfully ask as a matter of right, and not of favor, that the press of the State may not be laid under the ban devised by an alien and soldier as a punishment for its alleged contumacy in protecting the rights and honor of the people of Georgia: For the State at Large, A.

As the present season has been quite fruitful of Catarrhal and Bron chial affections, the public are natu rally interested in remedial agents. And among the immense number that are now before the public, there are none, perhaps, that rank as high in general estimation as “The Globe Flower Cough Syrup.” Made as it is, of a plant that is indigenous.to the South, it is peculiarly applicable to this class of Southern diseases. Dr. O Pinkerton is the agent for this city and is prepared to furnish it to the trade in any quantity. Persons suf fering from lung affections should try this great Southern remedy and test its value.

On Friday last a railroad meeting was held Kingston and well int ended, in which the city of Rome and the Rome Railroad Company were represented, In view of build ing a road from Gainesville to Rome, via Kingston. It was asserted that fifty thousand dollars would be rais ed in the connty of Bartow. The Gainesville delegation assured the meeting that if the people would give reasonable aid and encourage ment the road would be built. All these statements we take from the Commercial, which further declares its hope and faith in the line, and believes that it will be speedily built. We make the above announcement that our Cartersville people and their friends may know what is being done effecting their interests. If the road as contemplated by the Kings ton meeting should bo built it will give Cartersville the go by, and sooner or later we will be driven to the necessity of building a road from this place direct to Gainesville. At the meeting held in this place some time ago, upon this subject, the Gainesville delegation, who, we un detstaud, were the same present at Kingston, gave us the same assuran ces now offered to the Kingston meeting. It will, we imagine, be no difficult matter to induce all the citi zens of Bartow to take stock in a road to this point, rather than to subscribe for the one contemplated by the Kingston meeting. One Hundred Millions for the South.— We have just been put in possession of information from Washington of the highest financial importance to the South. It is pro posed to pass a bill in Congress do nating one hundred millions of dol lars to be divided pro rata among the Southern States. The scheme is backed by many of the wealthiest and most influential bankers and financiers of the North, and its pass age is considered certain, if it shall meet with no opposition from the South. It is ostensibly proposed to make reparation in this way for the terrible blow struck at Southern fi nances and credit through the recon struction measures. It is said that this amount divided out will enable the several Southern States to pay off their debts, meet the interest on their bonds, and put these securities in’ such shape as to make them negotia ble at fair rates. We give you the mere outlines of the proposition. The amount coming to Georgia would amount to about nine million dollars. We are assured that noth ing is lacking to insure the success of this proposition but theepnsent of the South. It would be unwise to haz ard an opinion as to the merits of this measure with the limited infor mation at hand.— Ex. General Assembly.

You say we dress too fine. I grant; but what are we poor mortals to do ? if we go dressed plain, if we are industrious, do our house work or cooking, we are thought prudish, and the young men exclaim, “ Who wants to mar ry a chambermaid or a cook ?” Sir, it is the butterflies of society who have all attention, while the busy bees are scorned because they work and dress plain.

Truth from a Noted Radical —James Parton, in a congratulatory letter to the Kew York Tribune on January Ist, condenses more wisdom and eloquence in the following sen tence than we have ever read in the same number of words. He says: “ Ignorant suffrage at the South is brutal tyranny. Go to the root of the matter. The South is our Ire land, and we are taking a hellish vengeance upon it. No words from any source or in any language can add strength or point to this fearful indictment against the Radical party. And Par ton, be it remembered, writes from the stand-point of early and ardent championship.— Tell. & Mess. CONFIRMATIONS OF JUDGES AND SO LICITOR GENERALS.
