Some old writer has said that man
is part demon and part divine. While
we are not one of those who would
judge too severely the failings of hu
man nature, an inherent !o\o of truth
end honesty compels us to say, that
with many of our public men, the de
mon greatly preponderates.
Hut it was not always thus. Our
young Republic was once proud of
the honesty ami integrity of her citi
* zens, both public and private.* Hri
-1 *ery and corruption were terms un
known. The majesty of vit tuc forced
them to hide their hydra heads be
neath the Rands of seclusion. The
villainy of Credit Mobilicr slumbered
in the lap of futurity—unknown; un
thonght of. The Constitution of otir
fathers was considered the palladium
of American liberty and prosperity.
Beyond lie Rflcml influence they
never ventured; or, if some did, there
was virtue enough left in the majority
to check them. The wise and patri
otic met at Washington not to rob
from the pnblio treasury filthy lucre
to make n fortune for self, but to en
act who'caotne laws to protect the
good and restraiji the had.
But, alas! the nature of vice is pro
gresaivc. In the course of time an
unholy leaven was introduced, which
has well nigh h-avened the wliolo
lamp. That sacred temple of liberty
has almost become a dm of thieves.
And, not content with their spoils,
they vote themaolvr* double wages!
For what? Asa premium for their
villainy!—the wages of oppression!
The chief mler gets an increase of
pay for acts, the moiety ol which
would have sent almost any crowned
head to the scaffold. Kings have lost
their heads for less offences. The
wail of nn oppressed people is mot
with insult added to injury. Poor
Louisiana, once prosperous and hap
py, now groaus under the yoke of the
tyrant, Kellogg, supported by the
President. And yet this is called
liberty! This is America, the “any*,
lura lor the oppressed of every na
tion!" How long? OLord! How
long?
*■ Hew ktotphsn vice triumphant reign T
How long stud! itwn'trtln Until to gniit ?
How long slmlt virtue hide her f.v,
And leave her votaries in disgrace f" *

Letter from Hamilton.
Editors fStra:—We mast not fail
to give your readers some dots from
old Harris. The county seal, which
is snugly settled bet ween two moun
tains, is one of the most delightful
and pleasant little towns in Georgia
your Correspondent has visited for
many mouths. Tito people are ener
getic, industrious, honest and upright;
tfUsiucsß o('hI1 kind seem to be pushed
forward with great zeal. Many new
buildings are now being erected.
Mr. Hood has built anew and hand
some residence,and has now in couise
of erecting one of the best grins mills
in the country, situated on the hanks
of the Palmetto creek near town
Captain Mtu Murphy is also having a
new and hcnij'iful residence erected
mew the Public Square. When fin
ished it will present an attractive ap
pearance, and will be an ornament to
that portion of the town. A few
other buildings are going up, some
very near completion.
li' Hamilton is lacking in ennnee- !
tion with the outside world at pres- j
tut, it is not lacking in building and j
industrial propensities of its thorough i
going people. All are anxiously I
looking forward to the clay when the j
North <fc South Railroad will be fim j
ished to that place. The Pine monn- j
tain on the north side has been for a !
long tipiea great barrier to iis enm-.i
friction; but it lias at last been stir-;
mounted by the skilful tact of the
engineer, it seems as if the summit
was not high enough, as they had to
throw uj> an embankment of several |
feet in height. \
The female college, the exercises of
which it will he remembered, are now |
suspended, with the exception of a j
small portion of the pupils, who are J
now being taught by that excellent \
teacher .Miss King, in the Baptist i
Church,
Workmen arc nnw husily engaged
on the construction of the new col
lege, which is being built immedi
ately on the site of the former one.
It, will bo somewhat larger. Mr.
Hogue, the architect, thinks it will
be finished some lime during the fall.
This school, under the auspices of
Col. Lovelace, has ranked among the
first. The thorough training and
strict discipline, together with the
healthy climate and beautiful scenery
u Inch meets the eye on every side,
has attracted many students from
various i arts of the State.
The Good Templars Lodge i-< now
in a most? flourishing condition.
Many new accessions have been made
recently. Nearly nil the young la
dies and young men are members of
this great and good, organization.
May they continue to flourish in the
noble cause of tom iterance. Their
last election for Chief Templar resul
ted in favor of Col, James M. MoMev,
whose influence for good is greatly
felt. The Sabbath School scholars
of both denomination*, Baptist and
Mcthodist|jiul membarsof the. Lodge,
intend having excursion to
the mountain ftbutit the first of May.
These are. always largely attended.

Visitor, is daily gaining popularity.

attendance was sufficiently large to
make the occasion one of genuine
pleasure; many of the fair young la
dies were present to add their charms
fo the pleasant occasion, Cupid shot

The supper was a most excellent one;
the tables literally groaned under the
weight of all the most choice luxuries
imaginable. Tbo vocal and instru

thirteen of the family had died from
the final disease. A few days ago
information was received to the effect
that the remaining eight members
had also died from the same diycate,

That Henry Ward Beecher is one
of the greatest pulpit orators of the
age there are not many to dispute,
i and that he in brilliant with his pen is
| equally true, as the columns of his
j weekly publication, the Christian 1
I Union, f.-ruish abundant proof in
{ ear!i i-sue. This paper is becoming
i a family favorite, and there are thous
! amis of homes where its appearance
! is looked for with delight and pleas
i ure. In his announcement for 1873,
i .Mr. Beecher says “all the questions
j of interest, which may arise will he
| discussed—but w ith special reference
| to the wants of the Family ;” the
I main purpose of the paper being “to
| promote sympathy and co-operation
j among all Christians,” and “to in—
i spire devontncKs, good will, and
cheerful activity in every household
ito which it comes.’’ This is praise
! worthy, and the social fireside will
j be made happier as well as better by
any paper of such a -pint. Besides
this, the Christian Union “Will en
deavor to keep its readers informed
of the news of the day, in Religion,
Literature, Art, Commerce, Politics,
and of the curious happenings and
humorous events that may interest
and enlighten the family circle.” As
an extra inducement for the coming
■year* an elegant French Oleograph
called “Little Runaway and her
f'ets,” will he presented to every
subscriber; or, to those who prefer,
the French Oil Chronics known as
“ Wide Awake” and “Fast Asleep,”
which were presented to nearly 130,-
000 dt lighted subscribers in 1b72.
These pictures are executed in the
highest style of art, and at the first
glance strike the beholder with their
beauty. Either of them is worth the
price asked for a year’s subscription
to the paper, and all who subscribe
will be satisfied that they are getting
the largest $3 worth they ever before
received.

AS ILLUSTRATED MONTHLY JOURNAL.
The Aldice, while issued with alt the regu
larity. has none of the temporary interest
characteristic of ordinary periodicals. It is
art elegant miscellany of pure, light, and
graceful literature', and a collection of pic
tures, the rarest specimens of artistic skill, in
black and white. Although each succeeding
number aliords a fresh pleasure to its friends,
the real value and beauty of the Aldine will
be most appreciated after it has been bound
up at the close of the year. The possessor of
a complete volume cannot duplicate the quan
tity of fine paper and engravings in any other
shape or number of volumes for ten limes its
cost: and then there arc the Chromos besides.
Notwithstanding the increase in the price
of siiliseription last Fall, when the Aldine as
sumed its present noble proportions and rep
resentative character, the edition was more
than doubted during the past year—proving
that the American public appreciate and will
support a sincere effort in the cause of art.
The publishers are authorized to announce
designs from many of the most eminent art
ists of America, In addition, the Aldine will
reproduce examples of the best foreign mas
ters, selected with a view to the highest artis
tic success and greatest general interest; avoid
ing such as have become familiar, through
photographs or copies of any kind.
Every sulweriber to the Aldine. who pays
for a year in advance, will receive, without
additional charge, a pair of beautiful oil chro
mes, after J. J. Hill, the eminent English
painter. The pictures, entitled “ The Village
Belle,” and ‘‘Crossing the Moor,” are 14x20
inches—arc printed from 25 different plates,
requiring 25 impreations and tints to perfect
each picture. The same chromos are sold for
f>3o per pair in the art stores.
The literary Department will continue un
der the care of Mr. Richard Henry KtoddArd,
assisted by the best writers and poets of the
day, who will strive to have the literature of
the Aldine always in keeping with its artistic
utt tactions.
Terms, s•'> per annum, in advance, with oil

TREASURY OF GEORGIA:
Atlanta, March 10, 1873.
Au Act of the last Legislature authorizes
and directs the Governor to issue bonds of
the State of Georgia to the amount of twelve
hundred thousand dollars, with interest at
EJislat per ooxxt-,
payable semi-annually in April and OcUolrer.
These Bonds will hear date Ist April, 1873,
and will become due in annual installments of
Ono Hundred Thousand Dollars,
on the Ist day of April, 1875, and the like
amount on the same date each year thereafter
until the whole amount authorized is paid—
to-wit: on the Ist day ot April, 1886. Ap
propriation is made for their payment and the
annual interest in the < t authorizing their
issue, which, living part of the contract,
IS IRREFEALABLE.
Being relieved from State, county and inu
niei|xd taxation, their purchase amounts to
almost a ten per cent, investment, to which
the attention of Trustees, Guardians, Execu
tors, etc., is e'penally called; and as they are
issued in part for redemption of overdue
Bond* of the .state, most of which bear only
six per cent, interest, they are offered at par
for these securities.
Their number, sizes, and time of payment,
will lie as follows, viz.:
1,600 lxurris of $250 eaeh, due in
1875. 1876. 1877,1878 $400,000
800 bonds of SSOO each, duo in 1879,
1880, 1881, 1882 400.000
400 bonds of SI,OOO eaeh, due in
1883, 1884. 1886.1886 400,000
The 1 Hinds are in the hands of the engraver,
and will lie ready for issue very shortly after
they are received from him. Meanwhile, all
who desire to exchange or invest can, by for
warding their old bonds or the currency to
this deportment, receive certificates, if the
