Gen. James Shields is to be appoint
ed Adjutant General of Missouri under
Gov. Phelps. Gen. Shields was shot
through and through with a grape shot
at Cerro Gordo, in 1847, and a large
silk handkerchief was drawn through
his body to clear the wound. He af
terwards served a term as United
Statos Senator from Illinois, and then
as a Major General in the late war on
the Union side. Always a Democrat,
he now takes offico under a Democratic
Governor of Missouri.
The indications are that the unprece
dented cold winter will injure very
seriously the fall sown wheat. Re
ports from all the best wheat growing
sections are unfavorable, and this taken
in connection with the fact that there
is likely to be a heavy foreign demand,
on account of Russia’s difficulties, she
being the heaviest wheat producing
country in Europe, accounts for the
rapid advance in prices of late. The
probabilities are that there will be
more money in wheat than cotton this
year, and it would be well for our
farmers to take advantage of it by
sowing all the spring wheat they can.
The trustees of the Peabody Educa
tional Fund have resolved to furnish
no more money to the States of South
Carolina, Florida and Louisiana, until
the men appointed in those States to
handle that fund, become honest and
capable. It appears that the appointees
of Chamberlain, Kellogg and Stearns,
hare almost invariably stolen the mo
ney when distributed to them. One
David Young, a colored patriot of
Louisiana, has been found guilty of
stealing twenty-one thousand dollars
of school money, and upon close in
vestigation, it will probably appear
that similar sums have been felonious
ly abstracted in that and the other
States named, by carpet bag officials.
Yet these graceless scamps are pro
tected in their villainies by the party
in power.
Hot. Hampton’s Letter to Hayes.
No event since the Presidential elec
tion in November has elicited greater
sensation than Gov. Hampton’s letter
to Gov. Hayes. Democrats, Republi
cans and Independents have had more
or less to say about it. Upon one point,
at least, all Democrats appear to be
agreed, and that is, that such a letter
should not have been written, as it is
generally believed that it was calcu
lated to do no good and might possibly
do harm.
While we, in common with the South
ern Democracy, regret that Governor
Hampton deemed it necessary to write
to Gov. Hayes at all, and especially to
feven intimate that his people were not
in full sympathy with the Northern
Democrats, and would not sustain
them in any action they might think
proper to adopt, in order to inaugu
rate the man undoubtedly elected to
the Presidency, we cannot go so far
as to join the bue and cry that has been
raised over what, to make the most of
it, was an error of the head, made un
der circumstances that outsiders and
those who are exempt from the dan
gers and difficulties that environ poor
South Carolina, are wholly unable to
appreciate That Gov. Hampton has
been and still is in great alarm for the
safety of his people—that he believes
that this is the death struggle in which,
if his State goes down, she will fall like
Lucifer, never again to rise; in a word,
that she is now or never to be extri
cated from the perils which threaten
her prosperity for all time to come, we
cannot doubt; then why in the name
of all that is fair, honorable and just,
should our people be so swift to con
demn a man like Hampton, laboring
under such painful apprehensions, for
what, to make the worst of it, was but
a single mistake amid a vast concatena
tion of brilliant achievements ? “To err
is human,” and even he, who has from
amid the storms of battle and the
frenzied excitement of a political can
vass, almost without a parallel, came
forth with an escutcheon untarnished—
a hero and a statesman sans pear, sans
rejyroche —may not have proved an ex
ception to the general rule. But does
justify our own people in their
mM'n criticism, for this single fault, if
fault it was? While we wish it
to be distinctly understood that we are
willing to go as far as he who goes
farthest to sustain our Democratic
brethren of the North and West in
any just course they may deem proper
to pursue to secure the inauguraAkfn
of Tilden and de
termined not to impugn the motives
of a man so true and( no ble as Hamp

tions for him or his party in South
Carolina, but proposes to abide the
decisions of legitimate authority, and
hopes for a peaceful solution. It seems
••The head and front of his offending
Hath this extent—no more.”
Our own opinion is, that should it
become necessary for the Northern
Democracy to take up arms—an event
wo hardly think possible—to vindicate
the right and preserve our free institu
tions, that with the entire South, Gov.
Hampton and his legions of gallant
Carolinians will not prove derelict, but
will ever be found where honor prompts
and duty calls.
Lot the Northern Democracy but
show that they have the backbone to
prevent by force of arms, if necessary,
the overthrow of our institutions in
this centennial year, they will find the
Southern people—Hampton and South
Carolina not excepted—ready to do
their whole duty.
Intemperate Zeal or Folly.
We have long known that John H.
Martin, of the Columbus Times, was
oue of the most level-headed editors
in the country, and as little liable to
go off “half-cocked” as any of them.
In an able and well considered article,
which appeared in his paper of the
9th, he utters the following words:
“Some of the ‘sound and fury’ Dem
ocratic press of the country—North as
well as South—are now attacking Gov.
Hampton, of South Carolina, on ac
count cf his letter to Gov. Hayes.
They censure him for writing to Hayes
at all, and they find objection to some
sentiments in his letter, though they
are not very explicit in stating them.
We have carefully re-read Gov.
Hampton’s letter, and thoughtfully
considered the circumstances under
which it was written, and in our judg
ment there is no good ground for un
favorable criticism. We do not find in
the letter a single sentence which even
intimates any concession to the Radi
cal demands in behalf of Hayes.”
The Cincinnati Enquirer.
This is one of the most welcome of
our exchanges—in fact, wo don’t see
how we could do without it; and it
affords us especial gratification to fiud
that its circulation in the Southern
States is rapidly increasing. Demo
cratic to the backbone, fearless in the
expression of its views on all subjects;
true as steel to the cause of right and
justice ; containing news—the very
latest from every direction, and
thoroughly posted about almost every
thing, the Enquirer is now one of the
leading papers of the United States,
and is truly a power in the land.
To those who desire a first-class
paper, from the West, we earnestly
commend the Enquirer. It can be had
by enclosing $2 00 to Messrs. Faran &
McLean, Cincinnati, Ohio.
Hell. Janies Longstreet.
We regret to learn by telegraph that
Gen. James Longstreet, who has re
sided among us for the past two or
three years, and who we hoped had,
at least, severed his official connec
tion with the Radical party, has re
turned to Louisiana, and assumed
command of Kellogg’s nigger militia,
which is organized to intimidate the
Conservative and Democratic citizens
of that unfortunate State. The mere
fact that General Longstreet has con
eluded to re-enter the ranks of the
enemies and oppressors of his section,
and as an active co-worker with them
in the attempt to still hold the intelli
gent, high-toned and patriotic people
of Louisiana under the galling yoke of
negro and carpet-bag domination, pro
claims the infamy of his action, in
tones more emphatic than anything
we have the heart to say respecting it.
God knows it is with shame and
humiliation that our duty to our read
ers compells us to give in our columns
even this brief notice of the fact.—
With our cotemporary of the Atlanta
Constitution, we prefer to contemplate
the character of Gen. Longstreet as
the gallant Southern hero and soldie r
who barred his manly breast to the
storms of battle, from Richmond to
Gettysburg, iu defense of Southern
homes and liresides, than the fallen
chieftain who fights for hire against
the people that are again struggling to
free themselves from the iron heel of
oppression.
Since the above was put in print, we
have heard it rumored on our streets,
that a private letter from Gen. Long
street, has been received by a gentle
man of this city, denying the state
ment made in the press dispatches, iu
regard to his assuming command of
the Louisiana militia, and that his
business there was to resign the com
mand as soon as he could ascertain to
whom his resignation should be ten
dered. We sincerely hope this rumor
may prove true.

Janes’ Hand-book of Georgia.
W e have been placed under obliga
tions by Thos. P. Janes, Commissioner
of Agriculture of the State, for a copy
of bis Hand-book, accompanied with a
splendid map, bearing the imprint of
Messrs. Russell Brothers, of New York
city. This useful and interesting book
has been compiled by Dr. Janes, in
obedience to a law of the State requir
ing him to prepare sucli a work, con
taining a description of the geological
formation of the various counties of the
State, their adaptation to products) to
gether with an analysis of the soil,
etc.; and well has the task assigned
him been performed. The outline of
the geological and physical features of
the State were furnished by Dr. 'Geo.
Little, State Geologist, whose descrip
tion of the rocks, soils, marls, eleva
tions, water powers, etc., so far as the
survey has progressed, are full ifeoui
prehensive and interesting. The ob
jects contemplated, namely, to supply
the people of the State and thos* who
desire to immigrate hither, with correct
information respecting its
resources and institutions, have been
as fully met as the incomplete silrvev,
the numerous subjects to he pre
sented, and the fear of making the
work too voluminous and expensive for
general use, would allow.
The Hand-hook should he secured
and carefully examined by every citi
zen of the State, and a number of
copies purchased for gratuitous distri
bution in those sections from winch we
desire immigrants, by every one who
has the means to do so. Both in mat
ter and typography the Hand-hook is a
success, and will, no doubt, largely con
tribute to the prosperity of our noble
old commonwealth.
Nacoochek, Ga, Jan. 8, 1877.
Editor Eagle: I know of no more
effectual way of speaking to our peo
ple in this section, than through your
valuable paper. I wish to write a lit
tle in behalf of our institutioif here,
Nacoochee High School. Seeing the
need of an institution in this section
at which our children can acquire a
higher education than in the primary
schools, we have exerted our energies
to establish such an institutioif We
have just closed a laborious year, and
I wish to say that there is no other
similar school in all the land at winch ex
penses have been as light,
tions not excepted. We are ijpout to
enter upon another year in thd’history
of our institution, and I wislmi'-, ap
peal to the people for a heal**- sup
port. The institution is yojT?vand
vicimry maTAqr 7**
port it,
but by prodding at their hoifies for
pupils from a distance. We sire con
stantly receiving applications from dif
ferent sections for board wifcji some
good family. What shall we do with
such applications ? Turn them off ?
Or will the people provide for them ?
This is a very important item *in the
interest of our sohool. You want your
children educated, but there is some
thing else in the education of children
besides a thorough knowledge of text
books. It is polish of manners—a
passport into all good society. And
there is no more effectual way of giv
ing them that suavity and affability of
manners than in bringing them in con
tact with children of different sections
of the country. If you will place it in
our power to announce that you are
pi-epared to take boarders, it will not be
long ere your houses shall be full.—
This is our greatest trouble. Our
school is happily located. Away from
the haunts of vice—no inducements to
dissipation, location healthy; atmos
phere invigorating; scenery inspiring.
There is no spot upon earth perhaps
for which the God of Nature has done
as much as for Nacoochee Valley. A
fine summer resort, and parents would
send their children here with the hope
of seeing them during summer. Now,
then, provide for them and you will do
a great deal in supporting the school.
We trust we shall have the liberal pat
ronage of White and surrounding
counties. We say expenses of "pupils
are light, and we mean it. We are
providing cabins near the school room,
where pupils can board themselves.—
Some can find hoard in good families
at from $o to §lO per month. We
want to see every boy and girl in this
country in school. It grates harshly
upon us to be told, again and again,
that our people are behind the age
educationally. And while I have
breath and strength, I shall continue
to urge upon the people the impor
tance of educating their children. If
we educate them it wont be long ere
our east will be tinged with the rose
ate hues of the approaching dawn of a
better day.
Respectfully, : J. J. Methvix.

illustrations. For solid and useful read
ing the Journal has no superior, and
one reason why it has not become bet

many have come to the conclusion that
it is devoted exclusively to phrenologi

appears to indicate; but this is not so;
and while it is not wholly made up of
light literature, it contains many liter
ary gems, both in prose and poetry,
and articles of the first order in almost
every branch of science, especially that
of health. Asa first-class literary and
