Important CASK.--TheSupreme Court render ed a decision last week, which was carried up trotn Savannah, iu which our fellow-townsman, G. L. Millcdge, was largely interested. It appears tta'. Mr. Miliedge’s grand father, by will, gave him iu trust valuable lots iu the city of Savaunah. The trustee, without authority, aud during the mi nor! y of Mr. Gaz. Millcdge, sold these lots and appropriated the money to ilia own private uses. On Mr. Millcdge obtaining majority he brought an aetiou ot ejectment against one of the parlies The Supreme Court has decided the principals in volved in Mr. Milledgcs tavor, by which he will come into possession ot some thirty thousand dollars. We congratulate our young Inend up'On his good fortune. Christmas Holidays.—According to custom, time wbereot the memory of man runneth not to the contrary,” the people generally, and especially the younger cla-s, have given themselves up to the wild baiidon ot fan eid frolic during Christ nine holidays.

Here s little and there s little.” E'iJ.-yr A'L-ertiter: Before the 1 ite War we not aofreqaettly heard individuals deriaivt-ly referred to as having the “ high-sirikas but no such taunts and flings have been heard since. And why * Because, at the close of the war, the dis ease spread so rapidly that in a very short time Dear y every one had it—none left to accuse—none to J ;er—none einlcsa enough to cast tbe first •tone. All “went” lor a fortune—were bevnd to have It, and that vnmeduiUly, “if net sooner.” No time for reflection—no time to cons:der fail urea—* now or never”—forward, march, quick, double quick, and tbe da7il take the h ndmott. Quite exciting this, and tor a time very inter esting ; but slas! it soon sppeared that the base jf supplies was 100 far away, and too much under the control of others, even those who, themselves, *ere “In for s fortune” out of aomebxJy. How vei, the venture having been made, reaort was bad to the consoling lullaby, “Go well, I make, go bad. I break—and don't care if I do-o-o.” Ami they broke. And now, Mr. Editor, will not those dis'iplea of chance—those graduates from the school of eiperlence—begin to “ make haste siowlv ?" Be gin to prepare a better foundation for their baiid iogs—to eschew credit at double prices, and the quicksands cf negro losses and shipped provis oes’ W.ll they not seek a bottom that will aland colion worms, guano failures, low pricef, ind financial crashes ? A bottom of ready cash and .*/>ck supplies, unalloyed with Western sacks and negro par!uersbks ? A,nd then symmetriza their buildings to their foundations. Are we not di-grsciog the land ot our sires? Everything go i-ir wrong— la.iure the rale, success the excep tion —litertmcdy known, but not applied. Neg ect oi nusite-s, iiufficient labor, unnecessary iu lalgences and overtrading, have brought us to grlel. 1 rue, we are greatly embarrassed with extra Xatiou, chirg. able, 8 beiy, to the ex ravogauce nd c orruption ol soait- ol our ra era— those dear vers cf iLe people, who, while canvassing lor a' Vote*, promi ed such hdeli y to our interests, lut. m only, our troub < s are ot ocr own makim*, ud ;hc remedy entirely at our dkpoaai ThU nay be a s’artlii g assertion, hut it will be difß ult i pS'ry .>tl its lore*; Woo lore du* to give Ice rr 1 l!ct!S and warehouse aecrptaices for iho •i, port o laborers not worth tlieir *oaid?

Who ikd our tisksto hig'i as to cause the whole to opple sud to he lost V Who semis us to town iid co many other placce, while our business so imp. ra lively demands cur presence and attention ? Ynd v.ho, better than omsclves, know the reme dy tor all our complaints? From every quarter the cry is heard, “Curtail expenses and raise supplies at home.” Merchants —all—Join in the chorus. Grangers hail to the masses, “half, madmen, halt,” and yet nobody halts, or curtails expenses, or raises supplies at home. Already too much theory, now let us practice awhile. Whose condition da you emulate? If neighbor Smith’#, then consider his ways—his outgoings snd incomings—and go thou and da likewise. Go to now, aud put in practice what you have heard, set the machinery going, put in your sons, train them to economixs and to labor, dhow no quarter to idlers—you cannot aflard to he detained by them; let every movement denote bnxinexs. Indulge in luxuries only when the bill can be cashed—better sutTer for tbe want of a thing than for having it. Think and act (alter consulting your wife) independently. Beware of “new advertisements,” guano circulars, horse jockeys, quack doctors, and “jack leg” lawyers. Brace youiself against gift enterprises, and insur ance and lightuing-rod ageuts. These thi"gs ob serve and do, and you shall have your reward. Cutting your cards for a fortune, only insures the loss of your stake. Fortunes were (pot in tended lor sucti as you. Only one in ten thousand obtains them. You cannot perform the prereq uisites, nor would you telish the work if you could. Prudence and industry will secure a comforta ble living; with this be content, and submit to nothing less. Shake off sloth, nerve on jour manhood, and tbe prize is yours. Hold on to •our tamings—jeopardize nothing. This wild mania for speculation is the bane of society—the curse of the 1 md. A!s6! for our poor, week brothers—no spirit to provide—no firmness to resist. Tlieir dlnus nn easy prey to the prac ical swindler. Why, n .ny oi them sign liens, mortgages, etc., without c-iding or hearing them read, or even knowing when they are marie due or the amouut of interest tin ged—no hope tor them— th>y must lemain icwcrs of wood and drawers of water. This mnniug iD debt, is but taxing ourselves or the support ot constables, sherifls, lawyeis, udgi'S, etc And this retaining of npgro iaboiers vithout personally controllirg aud directing tbeir abor is bat taxing ourselres to support them in dleness. In con*ideration ol its importance, let me in .•onciu-lon repeat tbe warning—keep out of debt -take aboard no more than you can sa’ely carry. ' Pay as you go,” is the philosopher's stone. Keep u uear your Ueart—you lose it a your peril Z. Vu'ictPAi. Election.—The first Saturday n ■ o.taiy next, is tt. time fixed by the Chart* r lor " election of an I tendant ad B iard of Comnvis ouers of t>u ei v. Wc have heard the matter nt little discuss and, but hope that such gentlemen nay be selected as wi I give sat'sfaction. What w e need is liberal-minded, progressive end enlight r eoed gentlemen, who will pursue that course which will develop and util ze all local advantages to the interest and prosperity of our city. We earnestly hope that the local dissentions and bick erings engendered by a difference of opinion as to the financial policy of the past, may be amicably adjusted aud understood, and that our future prosperity and development may not be retarded. That ail parties have been honest and conscien tious in their views, we have not the least doubt; but that those differences, however small, have resulted in injury, none can deny. Within the last few months several wealthy, influential, and worthy citizens, attracted by our superior educa ! tloual advantages, have located in our midst; many more desire to do so, but seeing the dissat istactiou existing, have been deterred from in vesting their money in city property. We hope, therefore, with the new year and anew Council (as most ol the old Board have emphatically de clined to serve longer), that the admicstration of our city affairs may be upheld, aud that they may be so managed as to give universal satisfaction and support. With this result, the wonderful im provements of the psst year will be followed by still greater prosperity Bckoi-aht. —We understand that some bold | thief entered the culinary department of Mr. Greer’s Hotel, on Saturday night, and breaking 1 open a pantry, purloineu some hams, flour, etc. Truly this was a bold movement, to enter the Marshal’s house—he who is expected to be always ou the lookout for thieves. TasES Gathered. —We understand from Mr. H. Y\ Gibson, the efficient Tax Collector, that tbe tares have been collected very close. He has is sued about fiTetti hundred tax fi. fa’s, and will be forced to issue many more. Tuese fl. fa’s, have been issued principally against negroes for their poll tax, but a small amount of which will be n . alistd. This is a fair specimen of how coffee and: • cb .rges his duty as a citizen. Were it iu our power we eould take every negro who fails to discharge h:s whole duty as a citizen aud link him to a New England yankee as inseparable as the Siamese i.t ils, and require said >ank e to do it lor him.

'•* W. A. Banks & Sons,—The large amount of goods disposed ol by this firm since their estab lishment in this city has been a matter of aston ishment and wonder. To tbe reflective mind the | causes that bring about such results arc plain and clear; add to tbe clever, accommodating manner ol the older member of tbe firm, the smilea.snavity and polished manners of the younger and more handsome m ’mbers, and tbe large and select stock of goo fs that th“y keep, and the secret is plain and palpabla. Bat last week, 'this firm ordered another large*uppl of winter goods; and cn yes terday, a# we were parsing up the street, we met I ” Bi ly ” rushing down towards the telegraph of fle-, and on inquiry found that they were sending for “ more goods."

The negroes, how ever, have got the idea that these letters are bogus and that they are written for the purpose of dup ing them. Some are inclined to try this land oi “ milk and honey,” whilst a large majority, with an incredulous shake of the head,bitterly denounce the trick. ' IMrROTEMET3.—The spirit of improvement still prevails iu our city. Several new residences are being erected, aud dwellings, out-houses and feuces renovated. News Paper Chanoe.—The last issue of the j Trl-Weeekly Griffin Star announces its combina j tion and consolidation with the Temperance Watchman and Georgia Cultivator, The proptie -1 tors propose on the 35th day of December, to Issue the Weekly Star and Cultivator, which will be de voted to literature, general news ana especially agriculture and temperance. Whis department will be under the superintendence aud control of Mr. W. E. H. Searcy, whose character is too well known to justify us in referring more particularly to it. It la further proposed to issue ou tho fii-at day of January, as a morning paper, the Daily Star Instead of the Tri-Weekly, which will be under the control and management of Fitch and Speer, whose reputation as successful newspaper men is co-extensive with the State. YYe are not ad vised as to the capacityjof Grifflu and the surround ing country to support daily two papers, but are satisfied that the present combination will furnish papers possessed of the highest character of ex cellence. To improve a stagnant business, the best rem edy or stimulant is to advertise. This is necessary to the peculiar state of bnsiness, when people are consulting the newspapers as their household gods, conveying the only true and reliable scource of in formation on passing events, now, in the fl’jctations ot trade. Indeed, so true is this that ju.-t no man, much less a woman, starts out to spend a $5 greenback without holding a coun cil of economy at or before breakfast with the last issue oi the paper spread for reference, to ascer tain where the greatest likelihood exists of getting value received and 25 per cent, addition for panic rates.

The medical por tion of it treats of the various ailments to which the human system is subject, and sets forth the peculiar properties of Hostetter’s Stomach Bit ters—the purest and best tonic known—as a pre servative of health and strength, and as a remedy for debility and disease. The Almanac is printed in all the principal languages of the civilized world, and reaches a larger number of families and indi viduals than any other medical treatise ever is sued from the press. No man or woman who has a due regard for that choicest of heaven’s bless ings, bodily vigor, should tail to read the plain, simple and convincing articles which this truly prictical publication contains. The miscellaneous matter is varied, instructive, and amusing, and the calender part copious and comprehensive. Hostetter’n Almanac is, In short, a household con venience, adapted to the Calling. The farmer, the planter, the nyffrehant, the mechanic, the la borer, the professional man, all need it; and to invalids of 6exc it is literally an article of prime necessity. The medical technicalities, which render so many medical treatises intended for popular use, unintelligible to the general reader, have beeD csrelolly avoided ia this pam phlet. All is clear, explicit, forcible, and recon ciaftle with reason and common sense. The proprietors, Messrs.
