Georgia Historic Newspapers

    THE STANDARD & EXPRESS.
S. *l. SMITH & <:< Proprietor*
CARTERSVILLE, GA. • "
THURSDAY, JUNE 19th, 1873.
For many years newspapers have
been sent free of postage through the
mails to all subscribers living in the
county of publication, and have re
ceived free all exchanges. Under an
act passed by the last congress, these
privileges are repealed. This law
goes into effect the first day of next
month.
After that day, the Standard & Ex
press will have to pay "postage on all
papers and magazines received by it;
and subscribers in liartow county re
ceiving it through any post oftice will
have to pay postage just as if it were
published in another county or in a
distant State.
On that day we shall have to strike
from our exchange list many papers
which we should like to continue to
receive, but on which we cannot af
ford to pay postage.
The postage on the Standard & Ex
press to subscribers in Bartow county
will he twenty cents a year, payable
annually or quarterly in advance.—
Few will care for the amount; but
the sum to be paid by each is of less
moment than the necessity for giv
ing personal attention to a matter so
trifling and yet so imperative. We
regrot that we cannot take upon our
selves all the trouble and annoyance
to which our friends at home will bo
übjechd. Such of our subscribers
as live in the city or vicinity, can get
their papers ul tho office ot publica
tion, if they prefer to do so and will
give us notice.
As we have said, the law goes into
effect on tin* Ist proximo, and then
the duty of postmasters is imperative.
Prepayment of postage, either at the
office of publication or by the subscri
ber, is required in all cases, whether
the paper is published at home or
abroad, and no postmaster has a right
to deliver any paper until the post
age is paid for at least one quarter.
THE CANTATA.
On Friday evening last, our ac
complished townswoman, Miss Ver
dery and her pupils in music, de
lighted the citizens of Cartersville
with a musical performance, at the
Court House. The services of Mr.
Froyer and his violin were also called
in requisition, and with Miss Verde
ry on the Piano and the well-trained
and harmonious voices of a very large
number of beautiful girls, the “flow
er queen” was admirably rendered to
the delight of a large and apprecia
tive audience. /The court room and
temporary stage were beautifully and
appropriately decorated for the occa
sion, the large room being crowded
to its utmost capacity. Every thing
passed off in the most pleasant man
ner, reflecting great credit upon the
skillfull training of the pupils in mu
sic, and upon all the girls taking part
in this musical exhibition. Colonel
larger than himself, kept time to the
music in excellent spirit, and though
a lad of only five years, was fully up
to tho occasion, mounted in a chair
with arms, stick in hand, quite en
thused with the duties of his station.
Rarely have we witnessed, if ever, so
beautiful a scene, or so creditable an
exhibition, both to instructress and
pupils. The large number of girls,
tastefully dressed, and beaming in
health and smiles, was indeed charm
ing beyond description, presenting
an array of beauty among our young
people which we have never seen sur
passed, if equalled, before. The de
lightful music, the beautifully deco
rated room, the blending of so many
s\v( ot voices of so many lovely little
girls, rendered it an occasion of very
great pleasure to the large audience,
decidedly the most interesting with
which we have ever before been fa
vored in Cartersville.
General Colquitt was also present,
by invitation, and delivered a most
appropriate, sensible and well consid
ered address before the pupils, upon
the injurious literature of the day as
contained in fashionable novels, and
popular magazines. Abounding in
sensible suggestions, chaste in its de
livery, and replete with a high reli
gious morality, it was just such an
address as was to be expected from
this excellent gentleman, everywhere
a favorite in Georgia. We cannot
speak too highly of this finished per
formance on the part of teacher and
U»upils, and in so saying, but express
the opinion of the ladies and gentle
men assembled. The finished per
formances of the girls, evinced great
care, patience and good judgment
upon the part of Miss Verdery, and
entitles her to a high place in public
consideration as a most accomplished
instructress.

Epsilon,
THE GRANGE.
Mr. Charles W. Howard, Deputy
for the Seventh, Eighth, and Ninth
Congressional Districts of the State of
Georgia, will be at this place on Sat
urday next for the purpose of organ
izing a “Grange.” All those who
feel an interest in this enterprise in
behalf of the agricultural affairs of
the country, are especially invited to
attend at the Court House at 11
o’clock on that day, at which time an
association will be formed in further
ance of the objects of this new insti
tution. We suppose that it will hard
ly be necessary that one word should
be said in order to excite, the favora
ble regard of the farming portion
of our population in behalf of this
growing enterprise, and that a hare
statement of the fact that it is solely
devoted to the true interests of the
farmer and planter is all that is requi
site. One of the main purposes, we
understand, is to do away with what
are called “middle men,” and by an
arrangement of their own, save all
the charges and profits to the farmer,
which are reaped by agents and fac
tors in the sale of merchandise. By
way of illustration: It is said that
sewing machines wfliich find ready
sale all over the country at very good
prices, cost the manufacturer not
more than seven dollars apiece, and
bring, on sale in the hands of agents,
not less than seventy-five. Now, by
the operation of the “Grange,” the
statement is, that such an article can
be bought at but very little over the
manufacturers’ price, thus saving to
the purchaser, on this single article,
more than one half the price now
paid to agents. So of ploughs, reap
ers, threshing-machines, mower’s, and
whatever else of any kind is bought
by the farmer. It is further alleged
that by this means, also, the products
of the farmer, placed in the hands of
the appointees of the Grauges, will
be fairly sold, and at the right time,
at far less cost than can be done in
any other way, and that he is there
fore sure of better pay for the pro
ducts of his labor.
It is also alleged that by operation
of these Granges, established all over
the South and West, a closer and
more intimate community of feeling
and interest between these two sec
tions will be made apparent, and that
this identity of interest will bring
about, in the future, a common action
on all those political questions which
may affect the good being of either
section, and will eventuate, by rea
son of the preponderating political
power which the two sections united
will be able to exert, a deliverance
from the overshadowing influence
which the Yankee States have hith
erto exercised over the whole coun
try. That this identity of interest
and common action between the
South and the West, making them
one people, will, for all time, keep
them one, and in any future great
emergency in national affairs, they
will be found acting always together.
That while the Granges are essential
ly and constitutionally designed only
--- ur me agiK.ul
tural interests of the country, ana ail
politics and politicians are rigidly ex
cluded from them, yet that in the
healthful operations of these bodies,
they will so guard the true interests
ot the country, as to prove destructive
to all whose purpose hitherto lias
been to subsidize the great agricultur
al interests of the country to sectional
and individual aggrandizement, and
result in an equal adjustment of the
burdens and blessings of government.
STONE MOUNTAIN, ITS AREA,
HEIGHT, AND WEIGHT!!
The Stone Mountain Granite Com
pany owns sfi3 acres comprising the
Mountain and land adjacent thereto.
The Mountain covers about 250 acres.
Its height above tho water courses
at the foot is stated to be 1350 feet.
The United States coast survey party
recently estimated it to be about 1200
feet above the bed of the railroad. An
industrious Kentuckian lately esti
mated its a eight to be 1,207,000,1)00,000
tons!! fractions not counted. Quite
enough to occupy the entire commer
cial marine of Great Britain and the
United States for 150 voyages each
vessel.
From the top one may look over a
radius of 300 or 400 miles ; with your
opera glass the mountains may be
seen at Chattanooga, Tenn., on a
clear day. —Atlanta Herald .
The Richest Man in the
World.—When newpapersand other
folks talk about millionaires they
usually mention Rothschild first, but
there is a lord in England by the
name of Ward, in comparison with
whom any Rothschild is a pauper.
This Lord Ward inherits a vast pro
perty, with accumulated investments
and estates, which gives him an enor
mous income. He has the most mag
nificient house in London, the finest
collection of art, and the finest coun
try seats in the kingdom. His wife
is celebrated for her beauty, and her
display of diamonds at the recent
festival given by the Emperor of
Austria, in Vienna, made all the
other ladies, the empresses, queens
and princesses, look poor. What the
income of this British Croesus is we
have never seen any statement of,
but a Manchester paper gives an ac
count of his annual profits derived
lrom his coal mines, which amount
to the enormous sum of £4,900,000.
So the income from one source alone
of this inordinately wealthy person
is not much short of twenty.tive mill
ions of dollars a year —Telegraph &

BEECHER’S LAST NEW DE
PARTURE.
Henry W T ard Beecher has added
another mountain to his already su
perabundant notoriety by a recent
sermon in which he preached Uni
versalism substantially and took the
ground that the scriptures do not af
ford support for the belief that alter
this life the soul takes an unconscious
vacation, awaiting a final ingathering
of all the spiritual sphere; and that
there was no man who had the slight
est particle of good in him but who
might find a standing place in Heav
en, though by a sort of a specific grav
ty the more or less good would find
different places in that future world.
He said : “I don’t believe a soul is
going to be thrust away by that hand
that was pierced. I don’t believe
that that loye which was shown in
Christ Ls going to throw away one
soul with a germ of good in it. And
so I hope—l hop q.—Savannah News.

most reliable conductors on the Cen-
tral railroad—he having been con
nected with it for over twenty years
—that the crops on the entire line of
the road are in as good condition as
he ever saw them at this season of
the year. Cotton is backward, it is
true, but it is in good condition,
while the corn is looking unusually
well. The rains have been light and
not too frequent on this line. Ex-
Gov. H. V.* Johnson corroborates
this report in statements made to our
traveling correspondent on Sunday.
A correspondent of the Macon Tel
egraph writes from Mitchell county,
under date of 10th inst.: The cotton
caterpillar has been reported in dif
ferent parts of our county for several
days. A few of them have been
brought to town, examined carefully
pronouuood tho genuine cotton

caterpillars can be found around here
at present, we know they are here,
and fear the continuous cloudy cool
weather will hasten their multiplica
tion until they may sweep the cotton
stalks ere the boll is matured.
Caterpillars are in Thomas county.
Cuthbert Appeal"
The Postmaster General decides
that an equitable construction of the
new postal code will not admit of the
free transmission of newspaper ex
changes and of newspapers published
within the county, and that if any
relief is to be afforded in this direc
tion, it must come lrom Congress.
Hearth and Home.— Messrs.
Orange Judd & Cos., publishers of
those beautiful illustrated papers, the
Hearth and Home and American
Agriculturist, send us two pretty
chromos, which they are distribut
ing to every subscriber to these jour
nals for 1873. Both are very neat
and tasteful pictures for the parlor or
sitting room. The publications of
this house are singularly meritorious.
We know of none in that field of lit
erature to be compared with them,
in either beauty or merit. Both are
sent to the subscriber for $4.00 a year,
with the two chromos we have allud
ed to. Address Orange Judd & Cos.,

TIIE THREE .RICHEST MEN IN
THE UNITED STATES.
They are William B. Astor, Alex
ander T. Stewart, and Cornelius—or
“Commodore”—Vanderbilt— all re
siding in New York. Aster’s wealth
is mainly in real estate and its reve
nues; Vanderbilt’s mainly in rail
road stocks and their dividends;
Stewart’s is in goods, houses, stores,
factories, lands, and stocks. The ag
gregate wealth of each one of them is
supposed to be somewhere between
seventy-five and a hundred millions,
which looks rather heavy. Nobody
knows exactly; they couldn’t tell
themselves within a million or two.
Georgia Iron in Ireland.—
The Rome Commercial publishes a
letter from a gentleman in Ireland
acknowledging the receipt of iron ore
from Georgia mines. The writer is
engaged in the manufacture of iron
and in ship-building, and he finds
the Georgia ore well adapted to his
business. He wishes to use it, and
inquires the price per ton delivered
on shipboard in Savanah or Charles
ton. Unless high rates of freight
shall check the demand, Georgia
may soon be largely engaged in the
exportation of iron ore to Europe.
Cherokee Georgia contains an almost
inexhaustible supply of the finest ore
in the world, and this fact needs to
be only generally known to cause
that section of country to be studded
with furnaces and manufactories.
Mr. Jefferson Davis is said to
be writing a history of the war. Such
a work from such a man would be
valuable. He is reported as saying
that he feared the country was" be
yond “the redeeming efficacy of mor
al worth or elevated intelligence,”
and the memories of the Credit Mo
bil ier and Viona scandals give a pain
ful point to the observation. As this
demoralization has been entirely
brought about by the party that has
controlled the government since the
war, it is well that the most capable
and cunning hand is to write a histo
ry of the pivotal period where the
decade of virtue and honesty ended
and the decade of corruption and dis
honor commenced, if Mr. Davis will
prepare his work with skill and judg
ment, as well as with the ability
which all acknowledge he possesses,
he may walk down to posterity with
it in his hand.— Courier-Journal.

The following is the telegram’s ac
count of Jack’s capture:
At half past ten o’clock this morn
ing the Warm Spring scouts struck
the trail, and after a brief search, the
Modocs were discovered. Col. Perry
surrounded the Indian’s retreat, and
his men were bound to tight. Sud
denly the Modocs shot out from the
rocks with a white flag: he met the
warm Spring Indians and said, “Jack
wants to surrender.” Three scouts
were sent to meet Jack ; he came out
cautiously, glanced about him a mo
ment and then, as if giving up ail
hopes, came forward and held out his
hand to his visitors, then his warri
ors, live of his squaws and seven
chridren darted forth and joined him
in the surrender. Captain Jack is
about forty years old, five feet eight
inches high, and compactly built.
He lias a large and welfformed face,
full of individuality, but though
dressed in old clothes, he looks every
inch of a chief. Ho does not speak
to any one. The Modocs are grouped
in a field, near the house, and are
