THE EASTMAN TIMES. R. S. Proprietor. H. W. J. HAM. Editor. I kll >A V, FEBRUARY IJ, w. Notice. Having associated with me in the publication of the Times, Mr. 11. \V. J. Ham, formerly of-Montgomery County, the Editorial department will hereafter be Under bis immediate supervision, and control. With this valuable ac quisition to our force, we hpe to be able to give our friends and the public., a paper that will compare favorably with any other in the State, and carnesTy h )pe they will give us their support and confidence in our effort to publish a live paper in this section. — All business communications will, as heretofore, be addressed to the Under signed, and all matters pertaining to the editorial department will be ad dressed “Editor TiJlf's.” I*. S. Burton. Salutatory. With this number we assume Edito rial control of the Times, and make *>ur debut on the journalistic stage.— And feeling in all their force, the deli cate surroundings of him who aspires *to cater to the public taste, we desire to ask at the hands of our friends some favors, and in turn to make some promises. It will be our endeavor to publish a paper, that when once seen, will become a necessity in every home in the Southern portion of our State. Independent in all things, the organ of no party, creed, or clique, it will discuss all questioi* of interest to the public, from an honest, fair, fearless and impartial standpoint, will ever be the unflinching enemy of fraud and corruption, and the friend and defender of the weak and oppressed, against the oppressor however strong and pow erful, and will ever be devoted to the interests of the farmer, the merchant and mechanic, and the edification of tho fireside circle. To enable us to do this, we ask the united support of our friends throughout South and South eastern Georgia, that they will reward us according to our merits, and bestow their confidence, and approval.on our efforts to promotejheir interests. At the present time our enterprise is but in its infancy, and it remains for time to show whether the people of the Wire-grass section of Georgia will uphold and foster in its weakness an institution, that will in turn in the to come, protect perhaps their offspring from tyranny and oppression; when years have crowned its efforts and success, and made it a power in the empire State. . We believe, friends, that you will, that in the hearts of our people is sympathy for the weak, and that you will now lend us a helping hand, while we fling to the breeze our banner, and inscribe Excelsior upon its folds; and we promise you that when the structure, of which you have helped us to lay the corner stone, has reared its lofty head to the pinnacle of power and prosperity, that it will ever be the guardian of jour peace and the watch ful sentinel of your every interest, at all times, and under all circumstances. No doubt at times we will err, but il so Twill be of the head and not of the heart, and we hope our friends, the public, and the press, will extend to us the charity that is ever due him who unwittingly commits a wrong. To un derstand the motives and feelings of another, we must endeavor to place ourselves in his position, and remem ber, friends, that when our views do not happen to coincide with your own, that perhaps if viewed from our stand point, you would see tl cm in the same light. Possessed with a de sire to advance the interests of our people, with animosity to none, and charity for all, we enter upon the dis charge of our duties, leaving our fu- turcs hopes, and prosperity in the hands of an impartial public, and of Him “who doeth all things well,” trusting that the first will give us their support and confidence, and the latter will bless and crown our efforts with success. 11. W. J. Ham. Melancholy Suicide from Aberration of Intellect. Mr. Gilbert Clark, a citizen of Monroe county, hung himself List Friday night. He liad been laboring under deep mental depression for a month or two, in which he was tormented with apprehensions of starvation in old age. His unsettled state, of intellect and hints of self-destruction excited the apprehensions of his family and friends who kept a wateh upon him. But on Friday, after midnight, liis guardians fell asleep, and lie stole out of the house and hung himself to the limb of a China tree. His body was foun 1 two or three hours after, but life was quite ex tinct. Mr. Clark was a good man, a useful citizen and a deacon in the chui'cli at Holly (irove. Georgia News. We see ever so much said about Mac- I'.voys Hibernicon. Now we hate to expose our ignorance, but we would like to know what the the deuce a llib* rnicon is, anyhow. Macon has received her new steamer, the M. A. Huff, and tested it Friday with most satisfactory results. If the Telegraph is to be believed, it is something of a sqr.it. Duprez and Benedict’s minstrels have been shaking the buttons off the Macouites. We clip the following from the Telegraph of the Bth inst.: hat An Accident on tut; Macon & Western Railroad.— When tnedown freight train No. '2, due here yesterday morning about G o’clock, was four miles this side of Bar lies vi lie, the en gine was thrown from tlie track by a broken rail, and engineer Fleck was instantly killed. As far as has been ascertained, no one else on the train was hurt, though it was reported yes terday evening that a fireman was also killed, his is undoubtedly iucorrect. Few particulars of the accident could be obtained yesterday. The Herald wants the ditches of Sanders ville looked after, and the road from that place to No. 13 put in better condition. We are pleased to see that Dr. J. R. Smith, i im °ld and valued friend of ours, has taken editorial charge of the Jefferson News and former. The doctor is a gentleman of no mean order of talent, a hard worker, and conscien tious Christian gentleman, and we congratulate our lriends on their good fortune in securing his valuable services. The News and Farmer is published in one of the best sections of the State, and under control of the able gentleman above mentioned, we see no reason why it should not become a leading weekly. r ihe Tl rude Hide Bund of Savannah gives a grand mask ball on tho 20th inst. We give this as an item of news, but don’t ask us what tlie Bruderliche Bund is; we ain’t in the conun drum business now. ( 01. W illiam Barkaloo, of Vicksburg noto riety, is dead. V r e have heard of •‘killing two birds with one stone,” but Mr. Thomas Scruggs, of Winnsboro S. C,. beats that all hollow, j He banged into a flock of black birds the other j day, and killed sixty two at one shot, where- ] upon the News innocently inquires “who can I beat that ? we give it up.” I. H. Anderson, the colored Senator, from the 33d District, publishes a card informing Arkansas Emigrant Agents, that if they use his name or influence among tho negroes to persuade them off, he “will prosecute them to the full extent of the law.” Sensible, y, A Macon young man “who has buffeted the storms of life for twenty-eight long and dreary years, and did not tremble for the issue when the troubles came,’’advertises for “sotn ■ one to love,’ and winds up as follows: Wilt thou leave me in my anguish, Groping on through life alone ? Shall I, weak and trembling languish, With no arm around me thrown? Address in confidence, Ac. Young ladies will please take notice and gov ern themselves accordingly. And Mnile we are speaking of matrimonial advertisements, the following comes in : ihe App al tells of a Memphis lady who wrote to a New York matrimonial agent for a husband The agent transferred the le ter to a crusty old bachelor, who, in replying to it ac-; cidentally substituted for his own photograph i that of a Dfitjoiarw-nH*-- .-t . •. -v, a. j “There is certainly not much beauty about you j but you appear to have an honest, manly face. , I accept. We have received No. 3 of the Newnan Dis patch, by Messrs. Pearce & Birch. The me chanical execution of tho paper is very good, and the selections tasty, while the editorials and general make-up of the sheet reflect considera ble credit on the gentlemen having it in charge. Such papers are ever welcome visitors at the Times office, and we cheerfully place it on our exchange list. Col. Styles ot the Albany News has added a parlor cooking stove to his lodgings, and now feels “allsereue.” $o() tax on hucksters has stripped the streets of Albany of that nuisance. - The Israelites of Albany will give a grand mask ball on the 20th inst., in anticipation of which the News is preparing to have some real jollification. * This is the way Harris, of the 2iei.es, sympa* tbizes with people who hurt themselves at gymnastic exercises: An average Augusta man—a recent acquisi tion to the Gmnastic Club—attemped the dar ing feat of ‘-skinning the cat” the other even ing. As soon as he is convalescent he will publish a pamphlet denouncing the whole sys tem as immoral and exceedingly unhealthy. The State Agricultural Convention met in Augusta on Tuesday last We hope to give our readers a synopsis of the proceedings next •Week. The Brunswick Cornet Baud will toot their little horns on the 22d inst. for the public en tertainment Brunswick wants more light, and the Appeal urges upon the council the necessity for lamps in certain localities. Woods of the Hawkinsville Dispatch wants a cook. So do we, provided she will take gen eral supervision of our domestic arrangements, and let us try the realities of “love in a cottage.’ There was an attempt made to rob a young gentleman of Brunswick the other night, where upon the Appeal suggests the propriety of shooting on such an occasion. That’s what we’d do if our powder would explode. The following sensible remarks we clip from the Savannah Advertiser of the 7tli inst. They speak our sentiments on the same subject; What We Think.— We regret, more for the sake of the honesty and independence of the press, than for any mental pang of our own, to find a disposition among many to choke down the frank expression of opinion through the columns of the public journals, which are es sentially the c rgans of public opinion and should be open to the free discussion of all matters pertaining to the common weal. Speaking for ourselven solely, we propose to live up to our belief in the future, as we have endeavored to do in the piist. We care not for one man or set of men, and as the people's paper we shall strive to give every one a hearing who keeps within the bounds of decency and decorum. ; — We hold that every man has the right to criti cize, and, if need be, condemn the public acts of public institutions. Inspired by this belief nothing shall make us afraid to maintain our independence in this respect, without becoming responsible, however, in any .- use, for the views of corrcspoutiebOu * A negro in Brunswick attacked one of the merchants with a crowbar the other day, and when a policeman took after him, and several quiet men tried to shoot him, he made for the river, and jumped in, where the Appeal sup poses he is sill swimming around. Some young ladies called on the Southeast Georgian man the other day, and one of them declared that she “would never again complain if she discovered a typographical error in her paper,” at which he ups and and says he'll warrant she’d make a kind wife. Is he a mar ried man? We ain't and would like to know her. Duties Hang Together. Philosophers tell us that there is no particle of matter and no law of nature that is not indissolubly linked with every other particle and every other law. They are united in their great Creator, who has so stamped every product of his hand as to show that lie is the Author. Theology and experi ence reveal the fact that there is no doctrine in the Bible, and no duty in life, that is not in likemanner bound up with every other doctrine and every other duty, and for a like reason they find their origin in that One God from whom proceed all the doctrines of the Bible, and all the duties of A sad experience and observation, also in form us 1 hat every error in religious creed, and every sin in human life is associated with every other sin and error; tiny find their union in him who is the great “Father of Lies/-’ and the principle of all evil. All dalles hang, together; and so, alas! do all sins. The person who earnestly i and honestly sets about discharging j his whole duty to God, in any one par | tieular, is a person of hopeful pros-! j pects; for as surely as he puts himself | I under the guidance of God’s .Spirit in j that one particular, he will be led on j from duty to duty, and from one degree ! knowledge to another, until he is i brought to Christ. And whoever gives j lumself up unreservedly to anv one sin • . * * ’ is a person of gloomy (we are loth to j say,) of hopeless prospects; for one sin | will open the door for another in eno-1 less succession, until ho is brought to j that state in which the dealing of God with him seems to say, “Ephraim is joined to his idols; let him alone.” Ihe only mode by which we can safely work our waj r through the snares and temptations of a world of sin, is to throw ourselves as unreser ved! j’ as pussi ole on the* side of truth ' and duty; for then it, wit] not be our- j selves only that will light the battle, ! but the Captain of our Salvation, who, ' with his strong arm and watc.hTnl au>j will ~~ j In order, therefore to insure Ills reedful presence and protection, let j us eveiy Sabbath Day culivate an ! especial nearness to Him ; and between | one sabbath and another, let ns daily consecrate a little time in which as in minature Sabbath wo may draw near to him, and, with the Bible in our j hands, and the languge of faith upon j our lips, beseech Him to be our helper, j in whom is all our hope. F. R. G, Go T© C ill me Is. There is no such substitute for the preaching of the word, as the effectual, and ordinary means of conversion and Christian confirmation. No one who expects to die the death of the right eous can simply leave this, ami resort to meditations upon the divine good ness in the fields and woods, or to the quietude of his own spirit at u: • r to the oracle of reason, or the printed sermons of gifted authors. A printed sermon as read at home may be better written, may be more profound, finish ed, or spiritual, but the fact that the reading of sermons in private by those who attend church, is not the divine plan, is enough to condemn it as a sub stitute. No matter who preaches. The am bassador whom a Ei r ipean sovereign may send to our national capital can not be ignored because he may be a third-rate or a tenth-rate statesman; if he have the seal of his royal master in his commission, he is received and his dispatches considered. And so, without allowing personal considera tions to obtrude, we should concern ourselves chiefly with the overtures which our Divine Sovereign makes to us, under Ilis own seal, sending by whom lie will. For those physically able to attend Church, but spiritually languid, and in practice irregular or neglectful, we say turn over anew leaf Go to Church. You will find a providence in it, for God’s word and providence go togeth er.— Our Monthly. Small-pox in Court. —A peremptory order to testify on supplementary pro ceedings brought John Davis into the Brooklyn City Court. AY hen John stood up everybody saw that he had the small-pox The lawyers and clerkw went out through the side door like champagne corks. The Judge gather ed himself up and vanished. The spectators rushed for the doors and disappeared. Geo. Knasbel seized a three-foot ruler and fllourishing tt, ordered the case to extinguish him self. lie tried to get on a street car, but the driver pushed him off, and lashed the horses for half a mile. No body knows what became of Davis.— A: Y San. General News. Washington, February 11.—In lHgh ; I usion circles the opinion is strong’ iuat tiiere is no possible chance for the | tecognition of the Kellogg g’overn i r ient. i hey. state that members of ! Committee on Privileges and Elec tions are outspoken in denouncing the Kellogg government as a usurpation, j hey even use more energetic phrases. ■ y ie -'isionists seem confident that Mc- Enery will be recognized, and McMi lea | seated. Tiiere is no prospect of action in the Senate to-day on the report of the com mittee submitted yesterday. To-mor row, when the houses meet in joint I convention, objection will be made "'hen the voie of Louisiana is called :I P> where-upon the Senate will retire. It will require the consent of both houses to count the vote of Louisiana, ihis is improbable, and as its rejection "'HI not effect the presidential result, or have any bearing upon the weigh tier questions to come, the matter will almost certainly be allowed to go by default. Bets on Louisiana will be off. There is now no doubt of the Presi dent's intention to start in about six weeks upon an extensive Southern tour New Nome, February B. —Judge Boardman denies anew trial or stay of proceed l .wgs in Stokes’case. Stokes’ counsel will apply to .Judge Davis, of the Supreme Court for a stay of pro ceedings. Later.— Stokes’ counsel argued du ring the whole day the motion for a stay of proceedings before Judge Davis. The "Washington Capital says: It seems that Fred. Grant brought back from Europe a bit of Imperial gossin. 1 We were flattering ourselves that the Grand Duke was sent to the I nited States for the purpose, of studying our institutions, and the characters, manners, and so forth, of our people. It was the first time, we were assured, that a son of a Czar had been sent to a J Republic. It turns out, however, according to Fred., that this is a delu sion. The Prince Imperial had become enamored of a lady not of the Blood royal, by any maimer of means, and wished to marry her. This did not meet the approval of the Imperial fam ily, and so, to get clear of the messaUi an.ee, the young man was sent abroad. But love laughs at locksmiths (when he has a latch.key), and the young girl followed her Imperial lover "as far as London, and the two were united on the sly in the holy bonds of matri mony. This, coining to the ears of the ImperialTather, resulted in a banish ment that will probably last his life time, and file y mug gentleman wih g travelling up and down like the Wan dering Jew.for a long time, to-wit, for ever. V\ hen this gets out we suspect the and ouilg Men's Christian Association will engage him to lecture, unless ho : *■>•- Oner made him. by a 'Ton tonic gCTmcnrmi m yurrcugn r\‘ mldi iner, to go into the lager beer business. Our German friend thought the Grand Duke would be such an attraction that he could alibi’d to pay him half the profits. "Washington, February 11.— A bill j extending* the Southern claims commis sion to 1816 passed* but excludes claims unless presented before, or on March o, 1873. It goes to the House for concurrence.

The Heading’ Eagle of Saturday contains an account of a conversation ! between one of its reporters and Don- j aldson, the au'onat. Speaking of his 1 contemplated voyage across the At lantic, Donaldson says : Since the Eagle first printed an ac count of my proposed ocean voyage I received as high as fifty-six letters and nearly as many different newspapers containing the article copied frnm the Eagle lam about closing an agree ment with the aeronaut Wise, who will accompany me to Europe by bal loon. We are in communication with the Mayor of Boston and other officials with respect to the affair. The people arc becoming interested in the affair, and we shall certainly start as the Eagle first announced. The plans and specifications of my air ship to cross the Atlantic arc as follows: “It is to be 80 feet in diameter, with a capacity of 268,000 feet of gas To construct it will require 2,300 square yards of coinbric* and it will be ca pable of lifting to the require! altitude 9, 380 pounds. The weight of the gas chamber will be 1, 532 pounds while the netting, etc, will weigh 500 bounds. The two supply balloons will be 32 feet in diameter, which will require 394 yards of material; with a capacity of 28, 000 cubic feet, and a lifting power of 980 pounds. The weight of the two supply balloons nettings, ect, wall be 280 pounds. A small balloon to save gas as it ex pands will weigh 140 pounds, making a grand total of lifting power of 10,- 000 pounds; total weight in full about 40, 000 pounds, including rope, bo bcat, provisions, instruments,ete‘ ect., leaving for passengers and supplies 9, 000 pounds. This outfit will be ! sufficient for a trip ar mud the world.” The aeronaut is at present engaged !in making a cop}' of the plans and | drawings to present to the Franklin j Institute of this city. The Western Union Telegraph Com pany has bought the Cuba Cable for SI ,500.000. The Highest Human Faculty.— I The London Quarterly Review says, and says truly: “It has been asserted, over and again, that owe of the chief distinctions between man and the ra ces below him lies in his Sympathy; that brutes kill or forsake their disa b cd campani ms, and man alone pities and assists Ins brother. That the pow er to feel such sympathy is the divin est thing in man we are prepared to admit. Measured by the true stand ard of things, intellectual progress is of small account compared to advance in the power of nnseltish love. The lowest of human biengs is, not the dull est and most ignorant, but the most uideeling; and the highest is, not the cleverest or most learned, but he who has the warmest sympathies; and if, indeed, the lower tribes of earth and air partake in no degree of such feel ings, then is the gulf between them and our race far wider than is opened lo their lack of power to follow the philosopher through his inductions, or the poet through his tlights of im agination.” New Advertisements.
