Death of Gon. Howoil Cobb,
It was with feelings of deepest re
gret that we read tho annexed tele
graphic dispatch, announcing the death
of Gon’l liowoll Cobb,'one of Georgia’s
most gifted and honored sons.
• From our earliest childhood wo lmvo
known Gen’l Cobb. Ho resided In
Athens, Georgia, tho greater portion
of. his eventful and useful life, wliero
wo wore born and lived until our
twentieth year, and wo can say with
truth, 'which every one who knew him
can attest, that a hinder, nobler heart
ed man never lived. Though culled
to occupy- many positions of honor
\nnd trust by his State and -country
l " -oWcness of his bond and heart
by that petty
i f „ „^k)lents °f world
ly fume. Iio was ompi,..,
man—“ groat in Ills impuls
his friendships, and great
otlsm." As member of. Congress, til
Speaker of tho llouso of lleprosonta'
tives, as H-—i;MiiTr" Secretary of tho
U. S. Treasury, ho clearly evinced, by
tho distinguished ability willi wliioh
ho discharged tiio responsible duties
of those sovornl positions of trust, that
his miml was one of no ooniman mould.
But ho isgouol—and that, too, nt a
time whon his natlvp jjontli, which ho
loved so well, needed most tho coun
sels, aid and gnldnhoe of his great
miud. Most deeply and sincerely do
wo sympathize with the family of the
departed statesman and patriot in tills
sad dispensation of Providence.

tho superb background of our purplo

badges of unfading green, tier after

Thank You!
Wo do not wisli to appear egotisti

of transferring tho following clovor

& Neville, for your good opinion of us
nnd our Citizen
“North Georgia Citizen.—Wo
wero highly pleased to meet Col.
Whitman, of tho ‘ North Georgia Citi
zen’ in our sanctum, on Monday last.
Col. W. has been a nowspaper innn fjr
a good many years, nnd has enjoyed
an enviable reputation in that liiuo—
Tho ‘North Georgia Citizen,’ with
which be is now -connected, is one of
UiS best Weeklies that comes to our
olfico. Whon St; railroads connect,
his paper should got a good many ad
vertisements from Home, and will no
doubt.' Success attend bvother Whit
man and the North (Icorgia Citizen.”
Good Retort.—Tim World lias this
happy paragraph:
‘“A vote in Newburg. Jail resulted:
Seymour, 30; Grant, none.’ This is
going the Kadical rounds. Wo linve
no objection to give it, ns it shows how
the Kadical governors are pardoning
all the lladieal criminals prior to oleo-
lion, and also proves Hint there are ab
solutely bettor men in Newburg Jail
than out of it.”
(Pennsylvania.—The Age feels cer
tain of Pennsylvania. It thus apos
trophizes:
“ Democrats, keep up tho lira along
tho wholo line, as you are now doing,
and such a triumph will crown your
efforts as never before gladdened tho
hearts of freemen.”
Dentistry—Wo are requested by
Drs. Murrell, both of whom have been
confined to their beds for several weeks
by sickness, to state that they will bo
prepared to attend to all eases in Den
tistry in a few days. 'Ollice in lviug’t
building, up stairs. A

full, nearly ovory Church composing
tho Prosby torry being represented, and
its deliberations wero pleasant, Instruc.
tlvo nnd ontlroly harmonious. Tho In-
troduotbry sormon, proaoliod by tho
vonornblo Dr. Pratt, was n masterly
effort. It abounded throughout In
hoautlful imagery nnd pure religions
truths, with occasional ltlghls of pul
pit eloquence thnt wo have rarely oyer
heard oquallcd. Tho statement of tho
spiritual cdndltjon of tho vnrloiis
OhuroltuB was vory onootirnglng In
deed, many aecesslons.of nowoonvorts
having boon added to sovornl of them
within tho past fow months.
Sardis Church is'sltuated about 13
miles northwest of Homo, in a piotur-
esquo portion of tho country. No
sounds from tho thronguil stroets of
city or vlllngo mar tho quletudo nnd
ponco that bangs around It; and the
vory inhabitants, dwelling near, have
goodnoss, charity and brothcrly»lovc
doplcted In their countenances.. Their
hospitality was unbounded, and they
exhibited an Interest in divine affairs
which was truly commondablo. Wo
shall not soon forgot those noblc-licart-
eil Christian people, who were so earn
est in promoting tho comfort of tho
members of Presby terry. May their
lives bo long in tho beautiful land tho
Croator has assigned thorn, and may
tliolr Immortal spirits hold “ commu

in tho realms of glory, where earth-
weary souls shall lave their wings for

Tiio Louisville Journal in the course

Now wo do not mean to put up n

themselves tiio advantages of a great,
prosperous, wfill conducted metropoli
tan press in tlioir midst, going broad
cast over tiio South and West, nnd
proclaiming tiio business, nothing that
wo cun say will affect their opinions
Wo will simply remark that who rover
tlioro is a flourishing press, there will
bo found a prosperous business com
munity ; nnd wherever tiio press of a
city is weak, tho business of that city
is weak. It is an tindeviating rule nil
over the world. Enterprise cannot
stand alone. There cannot bo success
ful enterprise in one branch of business
if there is not a kindred and sustaining
spirit of enterprise in other brandies
of business. Tho press is not a chari
ly institution. Whon it becomes bo,
good-by to tiio prosperity of tiio com
munity from which it cmenutes. But
so long as it is strong, robust, indepen

Arrival of 4,033 Stands of Arras for
Loyal Leagues in Arkansas.
Saturday’we mentioned, sa.vs the Ava
lanche of the 1111 inst., thu mysterious
shipment,'IVoin tiio North, for Arkan
sas, of sovornl thousand stand of arms.
Tiio announcement excited no little
comment, nnd- their'arrival nt this port
was awaited willi considerable interest.
Yesterday tho boxes—107 in number,
and containing 4,023 stands of arms—
I'oncbod li’ero on the Bello MemphjH.—
They were in charge of a notorious
carpet-bagger named Win. Hodges,
Arkansas penitentiary contractor, nnd
a bird of the Clayton feather! The
boxes were consigned to “E. G. Exon,”
sinco ascertained to be cither a myth,
or a pass word of the Loyal League,
and it Was llie intention, of Hie san
guinary Hodges to re-ship them on the
iitnw trrtN-,-irr;c—rra menyf -ror DuvutL’a-illuir this
‘ ; evening.
Hodges wns accompanied By' ono
McDonald, Radical United Slatcs Sen
ator from Arkansas. McDonald keeps
a onc-liorso bnnk ill Little Rock, and
owns stock in a couplo of packets. It
is stated that' he procured the arms in
the North j and shipped them, llodges
taking charge at St. Lot is.
Every tiling connected with tills mat
ter is siipl'eious. The Arms Wfcro liVil
ordered by or shipped to tiio United
Stales or Stale Government nulhoii-
ties in Arkansas. There is' no tueli
person in Little ltock iis “Exon,” thu
reputed consignee. Tho fact Hint
Hodges and McDonald arc engineer
ing the matter is more suspicious than
fill else. For our own part wo have no
do.liht as "to their destination. The
Radicals tire playing li game embolden
ed by desperation in Arkansas. They
feel lliat the people are turning against
them, nnd that their power call he per
petuated only by intimidation or vio
lence.

A Striking Illustration.
Hon. T. A. Hendricks, of Indiana,
llie Democratic candidate for Govern
or, in n speech of great soundness and
Ibice, iu showing the importance of
harmony and good feeling between the
North nlul South, and the advantages
of reciprocal trade between the South
and Northwestern States, gave tho fol
lowing happy illustration::
The sweetest lesson of our religion
is to bo found in Hie pnrahjo of tho
Prodigal Son. Thnt son, you recol
lect, becaino tired of the best borne in
tho world, and wandered oil' to sock
his fortune nmong strangers. Seced
ing from tile paternal roof, soon pov
erty nnd hunger enrao upon him and
ho concluded to return- ffl that fath
er, who “ saw him afar oil',” lmd been
a Radical, wlmt would lie have said 7
“There conies my rebellions son I Ho
thinks I will let him como back, upon
llie same terms ns the rest of the boys
and girls. No, no!” Tliat father, us
described to us ill tbo parable, was not
a Radical, lie opened ilia iii'nis'aiid
welcomed him ns ho saw the. erring
boy return, and as he stepped into
that house, pence, love and happiness
returned. There wns a Riidical in that
family, though. Tho othor boy, ns
soon as ho saw bis brother coining,
commenced groivljng, and did not
want'Hie returning prodigal admitted.
I ask you, ns Christian men and citi

institutions upon Hie bad passions of
