The Georgia Press Convention and
Excursion. —The prospect is it will he
largely attended. Conventions have been |
held in all the prominent cities of Geor- •
gia except Columbus, and she asks that |
■-he be entitled to tho coming one. Our
citv lays claim, and justly, to be tho Lowell
of the South. Our people have done
more since 18(15 to secure independence of
()11 r section than those of any section in ,
the South. We have done better even j
than Atlanta, for all the investments have \
been from our own capital. 'The Yankees !
burnt in 1865 four cotton manufactories,
.10,000 bales of cotton the second largest
iron founderies in the South, throe bridges
that spanned our river, all our depots
and railroads. All have been replac
ed. We have invosted in the vari
ous manufactories of Columbus some five
millions of dollars—all Southern capital
and all secured since the war. They em
ploy about a thousand hands.
Columbus has also to show the finest and
easiest controlled water power in the coun
try. The Chattahoochee river is naviga
ble to this point. Tho dam across it will
mn at, very lowest stage of water 180,000
spindles. Its power is that of 0,000 hor
ses. About two miles above, where tho
Columbus factory is situated, tho river has
in three quarters of a jnile a natural full of
IL'| feet, and the current mus through a
channel or tail way, lined with rock walls,
50 feet wide by 18 deep. This power can
be, at, a small cost, so controlled as to run
one million spindles. Below and on tho
other side equal facility i.i afforded to pro
pel half a million more.
Besides, there arc perhaps as many ob
jects of interest here as any interior eity
in the State, not including numbers of
most beautiful women.
The Convention is earnestly desired,
and will bo hospitably' welcomed here.
What sav the editors to having their pro
posed excursion to this place 7
Wuat War Has Done fob Courtesy—
Orioin or Polite Forms. —lt is rather
singular to think that polite forms had
originally to be forced from men. The
formal usages of society had their origin
in tho olden days of so-called chivalry,
when a feller had to heat civility into
another’s hoad. Those fighting chaps,
who went about slashing and cutting, and
knocking around loose, oft-times charac
terized by the loftiest sense of honor, and
again by a brutal cruelty that would have
shaniod a devil, have transmitted their
customs to the ceremonials of the present
century. Nearly all the modorn forms of
civility have originated from war and are
emblematic of some deferenco from the
conquered to tho conqueror.
Thus the uncovered head is simply the
hoad unarmed. The helmet removed, the
party in olden times was at mercy. Bo
tho hand ungloved was the hand unguant
letod, and to this day it is an incivility to
shake hands with gloves on. Shaking
hands was but a token of truce in which
the parties took hold each of the other’s
weapon hand to make sure against treach
ery. A gentlemau’sbow is but an offer of
the neck to the stroke of the adver
sary; a lady's courtesy but the form of
going on her knees for mercy.
A discharge of guns in the military term
is a salute, because it leaves the guns emp
ty and at tho mercy of the opponent. This
is so true that the saluting with blank car
tridges is a modern invention. Formerly',
salutes were fired by discharging cannon
balls, and instances aro recorded in which
the compliment war, nearly fatal to him
whom it was meant to honor. When the
officer salutes he points tho drawn sword
to tho ground; and the salute of the troops
is called “presenting arms”—that is pre
senting them to be taken.
The essence of all courtesy' appears to be
deference, and independent humility, ele
gant and dignified meekness. It is much
easier for a confessedly great man, who is
conscious of his strength, to be courtoous
than for him who has a strong suspicion
of his own inferiority.
Thf. Gold and the “Abohieves.” —A late
communication from Major K. J. Moses
set at rest the long disputed question,
"What became of the Confederate Gold?”
the Charlotte (N. C.) Democrat speaks
positively as to the fate of the “archieves."
as follows :
We think we know something about
the Confederate archieves. The Confed
• rate government was broken up in Char
lotte. in April, 1805. We saw President
Davis and several members of his Cabinet
Breckinridge, Benjamin, Bengali, and
others- ride out of this city on horseback,
with about a thousand cavalry soldiers.
The Vdjudant General, Cooper, had
charge of the books and papers of the
Confederate government, and after get
ting them this far. was unable to move
thorn farther south. They were stored at
this place, and when a division of the
Federal army occupied this section the said
Books and archieves were shipped to Wash
ington.
IVe think the above is a correct account
"f the disposition of the Confederate ar
ehieves.
Overland Cotton Movement. The
1 iuaneial Chronicle and Sentinel gives the
overland cotton—that which has gone to
die milk without being counted at the
Potts— at 98,555 bales from September 1,
ls l, to January 1. 1872. Last year the
total figures for the entire year were 228,-
hales: the above would indicate that
"t the twelve months ending September
• h',2. the total cannot be much in excess
of. and perhaps will fall below, 170,000
hales.

The success of the Augusta Manufac
turing Company has been remarkable.
Before the war the mills were erected by
a company with insufficient capital, owing
to which* and some trouble about the
water power, they were sold to the pres
ent company for §140,000 on a credit,
and §OO,OOO were borrowed for working
capital. Under the energetic manage
ment of Air. Jackson, President, and Air.
Coggin, Superintendent, this loan was
paid by the mills, and also the notes given
for the purchase money'. The capital
stock was fixed at SOOO,OOO, and average
dividends of twenty per cent, paid. Since
the war the company has renewed its en
tire machinery, steadily paid twenty per
cent, dividends, and accumulated a sur
plus of about $300,000, all from its own
earnings. The production is jeans, sheet
ings, drills and osnaburgs.
Judge Cowart, of the Atlanta City
Court, in the case of Mr. Penn Bedell,
writ of habeas corpus, decided to admit
the petitioner to bail in the sum of $lO,-
000. At last accounts the necessary bonds
had not been consummated. Judge Cow
art stated that he was convinced that Air.
Bedell had provoked the difficulty; but
had doubts as to who fired the first shot.
The ball alleged to have been cut from
the body of the deceased, would not fit any
of the pistols produced in the testimony.
These were two minor incongruities which,
with the testimony before him, he was una
ble to satisfactorily reconcile. Air. Rasbu
ry in his dying deposition gave it as
his opinion that he himself fired first,
though the two shots were so nearly
simultaneous it was next to impossible to
distinguish two reports.
Airs. A. Crawford, of Pahiiotto, is dead.

-1 mg:
Firm and Seventy Years Ago—We learn
with regret thnt the house of our friend
Mr. Oliver White, was burned Monday
week. The fire was entirely accidental.
He lost all of his furniture and nearly all
j the clothing of his family. Scarcely any
thing was saved. In the house was a li
■ brarv of 2,000 volumes; many rare and
i valuable books. This house was one of
the venerable things of the olden times.
It was built by his grand father. Major
AYhite, some seventy years since, just about
the time the Indians left that part of the
country. The hurricanes which were at
that time prevalent and dangerous induced
such a form as would best resist them. It
was low but wide, with massive, antique
chimneys, and all the timbers of great
size and strength. In those times cut
nails were unknown, and there were no
saw mills in that region: so the planks
and lumber were sawed out by hand
and the nails were all wrought on the
blacksmith anvil. It was painted a bright
yellow color, with red doors and shutters,
and in those days of log houses was con
sidered the most splendid residence in
Jones county. It stood the hurricanes
and the wear and tear of 70 years; but one
spark of fire the other day has ended it
forever. In its palmy days it was well
known for its convivality and hospitality.
The old Alajor was an officer of the Regu
lar Army of the Revolution, and made it a
rule to duly celebrate, with his neighbors,
all the battles of the war in which he was
engaged. He had on the place a small
four pound cannon, which was used to fire
the salute on such occasions, and whenever
the cannon was fired it was a signal and
invitation to the neighbors to come and
eat barbecue and drink rum. On one oc
casion (the anniversary of Yorktown) a
large company of ladies and gentlemen
had assembled—so many that it was nec
essary to set the table out of doors.
His Chief of Artillery, an old African
named Quacco, who had formerly be
longed to Captain Sibley, of the En
glish Army, thought it well to honor
the company with a special salute.
So he dismounted the four-pounder and
placed it under tho table—the cloth com
ing down to the ground covered both—
the venerable county preacher after the
guests had seated themselves said graco,
in which AVashington, Liberty, the Star
Spangled Banner, and the American Eagle
were duly embodied. AVhen the ‘amen’
was said the Artillery Chief, old Quacco,
fired the cannon under the table. The
alarm and consternation of the guests can
be imagined. Half of the table and seats
were turned over in the alarm, and with it
went the barbecue, and out of the smoke
emerged the Chief of Artillery. The old
Alajor, in place of displeasure greeted it
as a great joke, exclaiming “Charge again
boys, and let’s all take a drink to Captain
Quacco. ”

The Albany News has this:
Heavy Rains. —The damage done to the
planting interest of this section by the re
cent heavy rains, is immene. A heavier,
more incessant, fall has not visited us be
fore in years. Creoks, branches and
ponds are swollen to their utmost. The
“Thronateeska” is raging. Fields are
packed, and corn must be replanted, cot
ton beds thrown up again, and a general
refixture effected. The rains w ere hard
enough, however, to drain the water off
from the fields, and planters are not de
tained from work on account of dampness.
Last Thursday Air. L. B. Parks, in re
turning home from Dalton with his wagon

WEEKLY REVIEW OF MARKETS.
Columbus, Ga., March 15, 1872.
Financial.—Sight exchange on New York,
buying >4 discount, selling par to *4 pre
mium. Currency loans IJ4 to 2)4 per cent,
per month.
Cotton Situation.—To March 15.1871, the
United States ports had received 3.159.959 bales,
the interior towns had a stock of 100,744, mak
ing the total in sight 3.230.033. The crop was
4 352,317. The year before 2,285,264 bales had
been counted at the ports, interior stocks 96,-
530—total in sight 2.381,794. The crop was
3,256 S2O. Thus tar this season receipts have
been 2,339,01$ bales; interior st ocks $3,417, to
tal in sight 2,422.435.
This comparison shows a deficit of 838,198
bales from last year and ap excess of 6Ch84l
bales, over the season before.
Port receipts lor the week 51.403 bales, again«t
102 641 in 1871 and 43,647 in 1870.
The exports are 1,430.779 bales, against 2 034,-
609 in 1870-1, and 1,417,617 in 1869-70.
United States stocks are now 4b6.903 bales,
against 692,692 in 1871, and 475,853 in 1870.
The interior towns have received this week
12,731 bales, against 13 641 the previous one
and 18,094 in 1871 and 7,708 in 1870.
Their total receipts are about 315,000 bales less
than last year.
Columbus, thus far. has'receivcd 36,831 bales,
against 68,257 last year. The total last season
was 75,007. We ought to get some 2,000 bales
after this date. Last year we received 6.750.
New York has a stock of 87,000 bales, against
124,911 last year. Manchester has a stock of
265.000 against 95,000 in 1871, and 40.000 in 1870.
The visible supply last Saturday showed
2,165.704, against 2,260,888 in 1871 anu 1,549,035
in IS7O, showing a deficit from last year of
95,182, and 616,669 excess over 1870.
India shipments 277,000 bales, against 156,000
last year. For the past six weeks Great Britain
has averaged 39,889 of American cotton con
sumed, against 43,966 bales last year.
The Prospect.—Though receipts continue
to show wide margins from last year, prices in
Liverpool and New York decline. The manu
factories appear to be pretty well stocked. The
spinners of this country alono have taken
535.083 bales, against 451.916 last year. They
are combining with the future deliverers to de
press quotations until it be seen what the com
Ing crop promises. Speculation appears afraid
of the staple at present prices. It has not re
covered since that English-United States war
fiasco. The present crop will be shorter than
the vast majority anticipated, but the tremen
dous one of 1871 enabled large stocks to be ac
cumulated. Does tho present season promise
better than the last'.’ is the question. Through
out the South unprecedented cold weather and
rains have been noted. The seasons are fully
two, if not three weeks backward. Here, on the
15th of March, when ordinarily vegetation is far
advanced, we find peach and plum trees just
beginning to think of budding, while forest
trees barely indicate the approach of Spring.
The ground as a general thing is not ready tor
planting ebrn. Very little guano is being sold.
Many of the very largest farmers, who own tho
richest lands, who have hitherto been the
strongest advocates of the theory that it was
cheaper to cultivate all cotton and buy corn,
have resolved to make plantations sols-sustain
ing so far as grain is concerned. They havo
shown tlicir intentions by purchasing large
quantities of seed corn. This course leaves a
less area for cotton. Tlii9 seems to be the de
termination throughout the cotton belt, of which
this section is a fair sample. When it is univer
sally known that this coarse is to be pursued, or
the seasons continue bad as they have begun,
prices will go up like a rocket and remain up
until the next crop is gone. Even if a larger
area than last year be planted, it by no moans
signifies a large crop.
The Weather.—The thermometer has aver
aged for the week 57°. Rain late Saturday
an<l continued all that night. More fell early
Monday morning.
For the corresponding week last year ther
mometer averaged 65°. Two rainy days.
From Jan. Ist todate, in 1871, we had 20, (six
light) rainy days; this year 21, all but one
heavy, and two heavy snows. The thermome
ter in 1871 averaged 55°; this year49°,

The spring sun calls up something besides the
flowers and grasses. It evolves from the damp
earth turbid rivers, stagnant pools and black
morasses, the gaseous provocatives of disease.
From the offal and garbage of unclean cities,
too, it exhales an effluvia destructive of health
and vigor. Periodic fevers of various typos are
now raging with unusual virulence in various
parts of the country, and there are complaints
from all quarters of a singularly unhealthy
spring. W hat is to bo done in this emergency ?
The answer is simple and to tlio point. Strength
en the body. Weakness predisposes the system
to disease. Commence at once a course of the
most genial of tonics, Hostettor’s Stomach Bit
ters. Be assured that the germs of epidemic
and endemic fevers will never iDfect the phys
ique that has been fortified and regulated with
this glorious vegetable restorative. A moist
atmosphere aggravates dyspepsia, and all dis
eases of a bilious type, and the sudden thermo
motrical changes common at this season, aro a
severe trial oven to strong constitutions. There
is hut one wav of combatting these deleterious
agencies, and that is by invigorating the body,
and imparting a healthy activity to all its iunc
tions. The onlv specific required for this pur
pose is Hostetter’s Bitters. Os all vegetable
tonics and alteratives, it is tho purest and the
best. Its medicinal ingredients include all the
j uices and extracts of tlie most approved tonic,
anti-bllious and antiseptio products of tho Bo
tanic Kingdom, and they are combined with a
stimulant far superior in quality to the alcohol
used in preparing tho tinctures and extracts of
the “regular” pharmacopoeia.
ROSADALIS! ROSADALIS!
Read and despair no longer:
Gordonsville, Va , March 3, 1869.
Gentlemen: —Our customers speak in tho high
est praise of the merits of Rosadalis. * *
Wo have a lady living not over five hundred
yards from the store who, on account of an invet
erate disease of the scalp, had not been able for
three years to comb her hair with the coarsest
comb, her head being a perfect scab, and who
now, after using a few bottles of Rosadalis, can
dress her hair with a fine comb with perfect
freedom from pain. * * * Wo will have to
order your medicine by the gross, in order to
supply tho demand.
Y'ery respectfully,

Sleeplessness.
Sleeplessness comes from poverty ol' the blood,
the irritability of the brain tissue consumes the
nutrition of the blood too rapidly. Sedatives
and narcotics may relieve for a time, but as they
do not remove the cause they do not cure, soon
lose their power, and sloop is sought for in vain.
Tho only true remedy is that which builds up
the system, renews life action, strengthens the
brain, and gives to the blood those materials
lost by a diseased condition. Such a remedy
may be found in Dr. Price’s Blood t nriolier,
better in the long run than all the sleep-produc
ing agents known. Druggists have it lor sale.
