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.

issued in Newnan. The first number

Pearce, editor, and J. L. Birch, local

* 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:

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.

RAILROAD MEETING.
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.

Local Editor Enquirer:
Sir—As we do not liketQ see injus
tice done any one, especially a lady,
we beg leave to speak one word in
defense of our sex. Your lectures of
last sabbath and Tuesday were pretty
good,if they were true, and I must
admit that they were partially so.—
You want reform—so do we—but
how are we to get at it ? 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. Now, sir, we want
a reform; as we said before ; but it
must begin with the gents, not with
us. Justice.
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.
