H. H. JOKES, Editor.
THURSDAY. JANCA BY 27, 1870.
To tux BisScde Aoais.—As will be
S3en by our advertising columns 4n-day,
fho merchants of Cnthbert are respond
ing nobly in bahatf ef the Aprs at.
This exhibition of continued confi
dence and appreciation, is indeed cheer
ing to both editor and publisher.
We are resolved to deserve the coun
tenance and support of friends, if un-
•tiring diligence and industry can effect
aught.
Chief Justice Brow*—The unan
swerable reply of Gov. Brown to Far
row’s “opinion,’’came outlast weekjust
after wo went to press, and as the doc
ument is lengthy, and our leaders have
generally seen it in the daily papers, we
aefrain from republishing it.
It is however a scathing and power
ful production, and vividly shows up the
falsity and absurdity of the Attorney
treaeral’s positions.
It is generally behoved that the Radi
cals intend to read the Chief Justice out
of tlieir party.
If such be the case, they will Jose
their best bower.
Exhappi and Degenerate Virsinia.
— At length, alter a sharp struggle in
both Houses of Congress, between tbe
gallant democracy and their usurping
opponents, might, and the wrath of man
have triumphed over justice and the
constitution, and “ the mother of
States,” is once more permitted to re
sume her position as a member of this
so-called “ UuioD.”
Does she enter the arena again with
banners advanced, and crest erect ?
Alas; no 1 She cornes in, shorn of her
power, broken in spirit, and the play
thing and tool of her Radical oppress
ors.
And yet even in Richmond, that
jtroud ciiy, once the centre of a glorious
_yuung nation, and the theatre of deeds
Aiad events whioh timo can never efface,
the humiliating spectacle is presented of
a portion of her people, asking for a
lodetal salute of artillery, to celebrate
the hour ol her shame and dishonor.
Is this the glorious old Dominion, the
cradle of Statesmen and the home of a
'Washington and Patrick Henry ? Who
can credit the statemant ?
1ST A writer in the New Era,
backed up by that recently chosen or
gan of the Terry-Bullock regime, is after
Chief Justice BrowD with a sharp 6tick,
because of his merciless dissection of
Saltpetre Farrow’s “ opinion.”
The ex Governor is one of those as
tute, far-seeing men, who, li.Dg in ad
vance Of his associates, snuffs the politi
cal atmosphere in the distance, and
trims and sets his sails to meet the com
ing gale. In this respect his sagacity
never fails him.'
Tis said that rats will desert a sink
ing ship. Let the Radicals of Georgia
heed the signs of the times, 'and prepare
for the doom which awaits them. We
tell them again, that their triumph will
l>e short
The pulses and great heart of our
people beat in unison together, and
never, never will they consent to submit
to degradation and shuine.^
The ballot box, and Courts of justice,
will yet undo the unholy work of a
rampant faction. Let us watch and
wait
I3T Prentice, the brilliant, spark
ling, and trenchant wit and politician,
is no more.
The Journalist will miss the retort
inimitable, the caustic irony, the point
ed shaft, the raspiug acrostic, the ex
qnisite pathos and humor, which ever
and anon gliding from the n ascent pen
of this peerless Murat of the press, were
caught up with avidity by his compeers
everywhere, aad aided in no small de
gree to lighten the dullness of their own
columns, just as the caibonic acid gas,
gives life and sparkle to the juice of
the grape.
A power is his day, ibis glorious old
man goes down to the sileut grave,
wrecked in fortuue, and saddened in
heart, by the results of that terrible
struggle which divided his family circle,
cud spilled the blood of a darling son.
Still, to the very last, like the fitful
fi .me of the expiring taper, his elastic
aad irrepressible intellect sent forth its
dazzling seaatillations to chain) and
electrify his readers.
Gallant spirit, noble patriot, thy race
accomplished,thy mbtdion done, rest
sweetly from thy labors iu that better

African Labor Unreliable—Tke 1
Remedy.
The great scarcity of farm laborers,
and the failure of many planters -to com
plete their plantation arrangements for
the current year, have exercised a de
pressing influence upon trade, and crea
ted much nneasinessrio the community.
Pew farms have their full complement
of hands, and thousands of acres will
remain untilled fur lack of labor.
Tiiia may be accounted for in several
ways.;
1st Emigration to the West is-in
creasing very fast under the-stimulus of
canvassing agents, who offer fabu
lous wages, and also provide the neces
sary transportation. Hundreds have
thus been prevailed upon to leave this
vicinity, and will learn to their sorrow
that after all, the o!d’plauta-ion_was their
best refuge.
2d. Each year adds to the number of
those who having accumulated a small
surplus of cash, purchase or rent, little
parcels of land usually worn out and
worth less, and set up ill themselves.
It is needless to say that the subsistence
of a inaj irity of these must be eked out
by wholesale theft and poculatio'ii, and
from active producers they wiil soon de
generate into thriftless consumers.
3. I be numerous railroads in the
country absorb a very considerable por
tion of the be^t labor .material of tbe
plantation. The roving life, and unset
tled habits of these operatives, ever
unfit them afterwards far the quiet pur
suits of husbandry.
4tli. The continued subtraction of
female labor from the field, and the
placing of the youth of . both sexes in
the numerous schools which have been
established.
5tb. The tendency to congregate id
towns and villages, where a precarious
subsistence is earned by daily labor, aud
tbe worst habits are engendered.
CtK. Tbe alarming mortality among
the trfac&s caused Jby exposure, ■ and
want of medical aid, aad the too liberal
use of ardent-spirits.
The above comprise a few of the
causes which bHve^perated to diminish
the supply of farm labor. To these
must be guperadded the demoralising
effects of Radical legislation, and the
present condition of political affairs in
Georgia.
From the indisposition to make con
tracts, the increased arrogance of the
negroes, and tile exorbitant nature of
their demands, it is but too evident that
baleful and sinister influences are at
work among them. A vague idea pre
vails that special legislation in their
behalf will supersede the necessity of
work, aad enable them to lead lives of
indolence and ease.
Under, this hallucination, the most
tempting offers are refused incontinently,
and the deluded ward of the nation,
must therefore come"to grief ere long,
when his means are exhausted and cm
ployment can no longer be obtained.
To thoso of oqr planters, ^and their
name is legion,) wVo are thus partially,
ami in some instances wholly deprived
of farm laborers, wo offer the following
word of advice :
In the first place, with snch floating
assistance as can be obtaiued by per
diem wages, sow every spare acre of
your land i n rye, oats, potatoes,
and such other crops as require but lit
tle cultivation, and bide your time, when
the starving multitudes will be too glad
to aid in reaping and securing the har
vest.
2d. Spend your spare cash, or pawn
your land if needs be, to procure some
tried and reliable fertilizer, with which
to enrich every acr.of corn and cotton you
may be able to cultivate.
3d. Increase your mule or horse team,
and procure the best plows, grain aud
manure distributors, and all other labor
saving implements, and thus supple
ment wbat help you possess, and hold
in your own hands the profits realized.
4th. Pull off your gloves, ignore the
traditions of the past, provide yourselves
with the most approved seeds, and enter
the field in person, hoe or scythe in hand,
and prove to our yankee oppressors
that Southern hoys are still game to
the backbone, and able to take care of
themselves.
Fifth and finally : Trust in God, and
teach your children like Ilamilcar of
old, to swear upon the altar of their
country, undying hale to radicalism, and
that plebiau aud contemptible regime,
which has usurped the high places of
the nation, and would fain grind into
powder u high-minded people who had
laid down their arms, after an honorable
capitulation.
Patience triends and countrymen.—
Wrong shall not always have sway, nor
will Anglo Saxons ever become the hew
ers of wood and drawers of water to
any task masters on earth. Only stand
firm, and be not seduced from the path
of duty, by honeyed promises, on the
one hand, and threats ana intimidations
on the other. *
Quit yourselves like men, and confide
in the God of your fathers.
Congressional Items About Georgia.
—The following debate occurred in
Congress on the 18th :
Mr. Norton delivered a lengthy speech
in review of reconstruction legislation,
during which he incidentally stuted that
a military commission was not silting at
Atlanta to determine on the qualification
of members of the Georgia Legislature,
and were exereisig an authority equal
to that of the Queen of Great Britain.
Mr. Edmunds said if the statement
was true, the authority of the commis
sion must have been received from the
Qui en of Great Britain, for it could not
have been received from the President of
the United States or from law.
Mr. Norton replied that the fact was
as he had stated it. lie said this was
but one instance of unlimited and unwar
ranted use of power in the South under
the acts of Congress, which were prac
tically defective.
In the House on the same day the
following took place:
On motion of Mr. Brooks, the Gener
al of the Army wus directed to inform
the House under what act of Congress,
or by what authority Gens. Ruger and
Haynes and Maj. Good fellow are acting
as a committee of elections in the Geor
gia Ltgieiature.
most
. SA-
«nd
are sure will result most advanrageoasly
to the best interests of the work.
There 7s, in onr judgment, no new
railroad enterprise projected in this
State more favoiably located or that
promises earlier aud larger dividends oo
ns stock than this road; provided, how
ever, the work is not permitted to lin
ger midway for the want of promptness
ia the payment of installments ijr thlT
stockholders. Considering the season
of the year when the project was inau
gnrated and an effort made to .procure
subscriptions of stock, the people along
the line of the road have done admira
bly, and deserve the thanks of tbe pub
lic. Nor can we suppose thst-subscrip
tioas made at so dull a season were ex.
travagant, and cannot l>e paid in mid-
wintep, when a bountiful Pi evidence bus
smiled npon onr planting interest, and
filled onr coffers to over-tlowisg.
But as it is all important that the road
should be completed to Lumpkin, in
Stewart county, and the present sub
scriptions being insufficient, even with
the State’s endorsement of bonds, to jus
tify tbe letting out of contracts farther
than to Cnthbert, the officers of the road
should Dot relinquish their efforts to ob
tain subscriptions until tbe amount shall
be reached that will justify the glueing
of the road under contract to Immpkin:
And it seems to us that the rich county
of Stewart, unaided, ought to be able to
prepare tbe bed of tbe road for the iron
titrough their own county limits by the
subscriptions of its own citizens. The
matter should be tested.
The managers of this great work can
not too highly appreciate the importance
to the road of a determined effort to
build it without delay. Other enterpri
ses are projected, which, if successful,
will militate against the wellbeing of tbs
road, but which will probably never be
extended far enough Westward to in
terfere materially with its businesf,
should its managers avail themselves <{
their present advantages by pushing
their road tbroagh to Cuthbert by th«
next Fall season.^
The benefits to accrue to Cuthbert
from the construction of this line of road
will bo very great. The most obtuse
intellect cannot but see that direct com
munication with Florida, to suy noth
ing of an additional lino to Savannah
and tbe increased facilities in transpor
tation,thereby afforded to New Orleans,
must result advantageously to the com
mercial and educational interests of that
city.
We earnestly entreat all parties, to
be beneStted by this road, to unite their
means aud influence in a determined ef
fort to have it completed in the shortest
possible period—Batnlridye Argus.

Liverpool and Havre. Northern spec- |
ulsters -have -engaged to deliver near j
half a million bales, during the months
of January, February, March and April.
Very little spot cotton cau be purchased
in New York City, whore these deliver
ies are to be n.a «
Easton & Co., ia their Circular of file
7th of -January, say that, we do not
know a .point in the South from which
cotton can be brought here, to ; pay out
even without commissions. They fur
ther say, that what cotton there is in
New York ia of a low grade—not above
good ordinary. “Much of it,” they say,
“is stained and dusty." Spinners as
well as speculators, must therefore look
to tbe Southern markets for supplies to
run their mills, and fill c-nti acts for fu
ture deliveries.
The latest news from Liverpool is en
couraging. It sltows that the East India
crop for 1869, will fail far Short of 1868.
The shipments from Bombay during the
month of December, where 2b.000 bales
less than for the corresponding month
in 1S68. In the last Circular of W. C.
Watts & Co., of Liverpool, the stock of
cotton in Bombay and on Ship-board
there, is estimated at 125,000 bales less
than same time a year ago. What do
all these facts signify '! Plainly and
unmistakably that every mau in the
South who owns a bale of coftim, should
hold it at all hazards; and thus corner
the market and get thirty cents a pound
for it within the next ninety days. Cot
ton goes op every spring anyway; but
if planters will now take our advice, (for
which wo do not charge a cent.) and
hold firmly, they will not have to wait
long before realizing tWty cents for
their cotton. Therefore, we say again,
hold your cotton, planters. The game is
in your own hands, ar.d if you fail to
w in now, you deserve to get nothing
and to receive no sympathy from disin
terested parties who are watching the
game between the Northern speculators
aad spinners, and Southern planters.
Our attention having beeu called to
the foregoing iu tbe Eufaula News, of
the 18th, we copy it merely to say that
we have very grave doubts about the
soundness of the advice it gives to plan
ters. A great raauy have held so far at
loss, measured by absolute quotations,
and if warehouse expenses, loss ir
weight, etc-, are added, the loss upon
what might have been realized at the
opening of the market this season is
considerable.
On the first day of November, cotton
was quoted in Macon at 23 to 23| cents,
and yesterday it was quoted at 23.—
This fact displays an unusual-steadiness
in the market, and the failure so far of
the anticipated rise after tbe holidays,
is no doubt duo to the increasing evidence
of the magnitude of last year’s crop.—
The receipts in Macon, Lw illustration,
are likely to aggregate over twenty

year. They were 57,000 bales last year,
and they are now already 64,000, with
seven months to run. Columbus and
Montgomery, and most other interior
markets, will show about an equal ex
cess. Ia the face of such gams, as well
as the general course of the market
since first September, wo cannot advise
any man to hold with tiie expectation of
realizing thirty cents. We don’t believe
he is going to get it.
It is quite possible tbe market may
stiffen and advance a little unde." pres
sure of the demand to fill contracts for
“future delivery” sale; but that is the
best we look for, and believe any corner■
ing operation will break down tinder
the influence of heavy receipts and tiie
general depression of business through
out the world.
If this is not good advice, it is the best
wo know ; and, after all, the wisest are
often floored iu prognostications about
cotton. He who owes debts due should
sell and pay -up. That is a point of
honor and duty. Nobody should spec
ulate at the risk and expense of Uis
creditors. He who owes nothing, may
hold at liis own risk and take the chan
ces; and then, whether he wins or loses,
it is only a question of the size of his
surplus, which is not half so important
a question as most people suppose.—Tel

The Virgina Bill in the Senate.
Telegraphic Corresponder#e Coaticr-Jearnal.]
Washington, January 21.—The Senate
reached a final vote, this evening at
5:30 o’clock, on the Virginia bill, and
passed a virtual substitute for that
which citnO from the House. The op
ponents of the House measure sue
ceeded, though by close votes, in at
taching conditions to the admission of
the State, to this effect : First—Requir
ing the oath of loyalty imposed by the
Fourteenth Amendment on the members
of the Legislature. Beeond—declaring
that the State shall not change her Con
stitution so as to deprive colored citi
zens of the right to vote or to It old office.
Third—Declaring that they shall be
equal participants in tiie school fund
and shall not be deprived of it.
THE SCENE IS THE 8ESATE.
The scene in the Senate to day was
full of interest. About the largest
crowd ever assembled in the chamber
was present, and hundreds could not
get admission. At one time there were
eighty members ot the House on the
Senate floor, and the representatives of
the Foreign Legation fully occupied the
diplomatic gallery. The debate was al.
most wholly confined to Messrs. Sum
ner and Trumbull, and was very acrimo
nious in its character. Sumner de
nounced Gov. Walker twenty times as
a traitor. Trumbull was called to or
der by the Vice President fur speaking
of the arrogance, assumption, and cf
frontery of Sumner, and the latter was
called to order for similar language ap
plied to Trumbull. Tbe galleries en
joyed the excoriation each Senator in
flicted on the other, and laughed and
applauded. They were warned by Col
fax not to make any demonstration at
tbe final vote, and all was quiet then.
The House then took up the Virginia
bill, and after a very sharp debate be
tween Messrs. Binglfam, Butler aDd
Farnsworth, mostly of a personal char
acter, the House concurred in the bill
as it came from the Senate, and was
passed by a strict party vote.
The House adjourned. *-,

Fcsseuden’s successor.
The Supreme Court to-day decided
in a case coming from the northern dis

Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral,
For Diseases of the Throat and Lunga,
such as Cougas, Colds, Whooping
Cough, Bronchitis, Asthma,
and Consumption.
Probably never before in the whole history of
medicine, has any thing won so widely and so
deeply npon the confidence of mankind, as this
excellent remedy for pulmonary complaints.
Through a long series of years, and among most
of the races or men it has risen higher and highef
in their estimation, as it has become better known.
Its uniform character and power to cure the va
rious affections of the lungs and throat, have
made it known as .a reliable protector against
them- While adapted to milder forms of disease
and to young childreu, it is at the same time the
most effectual remedy that can be givqp for incip
ient consumption, and the dangerous affections
of the throat and lungs. Asa provision against
sudden attacks of Croup f it should be kept on
hand in every family, and indeed as all are some
times subject to colds and coughs, all should be
provided with this antidote for them.
Although settled Consumption is thought in
curable, still great numbers of cases where the
disease seemed settled, have been completely
cured, and the paftient restored to sound health
by the Cherry Pectoral. 60 complete is its
mastery over the disorders of the Lungs and
Tliroat, that the most obstinate of them yield to it.
When nothing else could reach them ? under the
Cherry Pectoral they subside and disappear.
Singers and Public Speakers find great
protection from it.
Asthma is always relieved and often wholly
cured by it. ,
Jtronrhitis is generally cured by taking the
■Cherry pectoral in small and frequent doses.
So generally are its virtues known, that we
need not publish the certificates of them here, or
do more than assure the public that its qualities
are fully maintained.
Ayer’s Ague Cure,
For Fever and Ague, Intermittent Fever,
(Thill Fever, Remittent Fever, Dumb
Ague, Periodical or Bilious Fever, &c.,
and indeed all the affections which arise
from malarious, marsh, or miasmatic
poisons.
As its name implies, it does Cure, and does not
fail. Containing neither Arsenic, Quinine, Bis
muth, Zinc, nor any other mineral or poisonous
substance whatever, it in nowise injures any pa
tient. The MHiber and importance of its cure®
in the ague draBict*, are literally beyond acconnt,
and we believe without a parallel m the history
Uf Ague medicine. Our jyide Js gratified Uy d*
acknowledgments we receive of the radical cures
effected in obstinate cases, and where other rem
edies had wholly failed.
Unacclimated* persons,
travelling through miasm:—
protected by taking the AGUE CURE daily.
For IAeer Complaints, arising from torpid
ity of the Liver, it is an excellent remedy, stimu
lating tbe Liver into healthy activity.
For Bilious Disorders and Liver Complaints, it
Is aiv excellent remedy, producing many truly
remarkable cures, where other medicines had
failed.

DISSOLVED BONES.
T he SUPPLY OF PERWIAN GUANO bar
ing become exhausted, it is nece-sary for tbe
planting community to look for a substitue for this
article, so efficacious in promoting and sustaining
the growth of cotton. The combination of Peruvi
an Gnauo and Diss »lved Bones has been found to
be tbe safest and best of all the many articles of
fered, and vre are confident that in an ordinary sea
son, to use the language of Mr. D.ivid Dickerson,
can never fail. In presenting our AMMONlATED
to the planter, we but give the c imbinaiion in a
form ready for immediate use, thus saving the cost
and trouble of manipulation and securing uniform
ity in quality.
Tbe practical results obtained from the articles
*bipped by us, prove them to.be superior to all oth
ers, and in a trade extending through every portion
of the cotton growing regions, and, during tue past
five years, const*mice thousands of tons, nre are
yet to hear of ibe first complaint.
In our manufacture we di card all mineral phos
phates, and rely entirely opoa
FTTH-B HONS,
Made readily soluble by the use ot SuJpharic Acid.
Tbe Ammonia is supplied from tbe next va'ua »le
source to Peruvian Guano, and in sufficient quanti
ties to give tbe pfanta vigorousand he.Ithy growth
the soluble bone sustaining it throughout the season.
We have no hesitation io placng this uriide
against any manufacture or combination known,
and will refund every dollar .spent in its purchase
in case it doss not giVe satisfaction.
