EII I.LIM Si, (HO-CAI.hKD) OOVKHNOR OF TUB STATE OF OKOROIA. Some two yenrs ago, the writer of this heard a gentleman of New York, alluding to yotir reputed election to the (itibcrnational chair of Georgia, scotlingly remark; “To think that lasy, atoucliy Kuftis Bullock, whom we send aririll out of the telegraph otllee liecause he waa too worthless to earn hia salt, should be Governor of the great State of Georgia I” and the writer then and there assured Mr. H that the really and truly elected Governor of Georgia was General John B. Gordon, and that you were, in fact and truth, a false usurper— '* A bane, find »tone, Made precious by the foil of Georgia’s chair, Where you wore falsely scl that under the machinations of un principled Radicals und negroes, your sworn pals and cherished chums, the ballot had lieen tampered with to elevate an unprincipled nnd illiterate adventurer to high position at the ex pense of the best interests aud dig nity of the State, involved in the al leged defeat of one of tier noblest and purest citizens, the hieliets of whose shoes you arc not worthy to tie. Bearing in mind the apothegm of Dogberry, that “one cannot touch pitch without being defiled, ’’ the writer, in common with very many honest men of the State, have hitherto regarded your career with simple con tempt. They viewed yon with pretty much the same acorn that the ollh ors of Duke Aranau might have olmerwd towards the impudent and ridiculous Jacques. Atone moment, as the ob ject of a still unrelated charge of cm lieztemrnt from thcTxehcqucr of the ■State, they regarded you with loath ing; at another, as a mouutebrtuk, playing “fantastic tricks in the sight of heaven," tliav sneered at you. Your infamy, combined with your impudent ahainelewHMaa, has secured I yon an immunity 'from attack; Init I your lust /iron urfi-iamei>h>, addressed [to the people of Georgia, proclaiming |“the recent renewal of active ho--tili tiea against the persous and property jof colored citizens and white Repub- I iieaua by the rrgauized bonds of se- I cret assassins In certain portions of j the Flute,'’ etc., discloses such a sub limity of unblushing falsehood, and < publishes such a villainous liliei on the Commonwealth for "hose welfare I you profess to la- concerned, that it < entitles you to this notice, insullieient 'as it may be to liiazon your extraor dinary characteristics, llow can you, I of nil men living, prate of the increase lof crime in th-s Slate, when no one has done more to f ster lawlessness than you l..»ve by your penurious course of pardoning the vilest and most don gel. ms feh ns, after fair and unbiased trial, and sending them forth again on an indignant community, the chief and only claim to your ill- i judged clemency being the possession j of a black skin? Shall 1 recall to your memory your course in reference to the murderers of Brodbakcr ? Shalt 1 recite the foul catalogue of your other like achievements all over the j State ? 1 las it never struck you that ; these proclamations of yours bear the | lie patent upon their face? For if the long suffering people of Georgia i wele really as law less as you dbsert, how long would it lie ere Rufus B. | Bullock, the usurper and traducer of the State, would cease to polute her ! hitherto unstained Executive? if ( anything exists to prove how law- ' abiding and patient our people are, ) it may be found in the fact that you still survive. Georgia. A Pitiiy Sermon.—Many a sermon has lieen spun out to nn hour’s length that did not contain a tithe of the sound moral instruction nnd counsel to be found in the following brief nnd pithy sermon from the pen of that good man, and racy writer, Rev. John Todd: “You are architects of your own fortunes. Rely upon your own strength of body and aoul. Take for your motto self-reliance, honesty, and industry; for your star, faith, perseverance and pluck; and inscribe on your banner, “Be just and fear not" Don’t take too much advice; stay at the helm and steer your own ship. Strike out. Think well of yourselves. Fire übove the mark you intend to hit Assume your position. Don't practice excessive humility. You can’t get above your level—water don't run up hill. Put potatoes in a cart over a rough rord, and the small ones will go to the bottom. Energy, invincible determination, with the right motion, arc the levers that move the world. Civility costs -nothing and buys everything. Don’t drink; don’t smoke; don’t swear ; don't gamble; don’t He; don’t deceive or steal, don’t tattle. Be polite; be gen erous ; lie self-reliant Head good books. Love yonr fellow-man as well as you love God. Love your coun try and obey the lavra. Love Truth Love honor. Always .do what your conscience tells is your duty, and j leave the cen*equenoe to God." MF* A pair of kghta—Two dnmkird* A t.rMiulioii* i’air The attention of our readers, says the Brooklyn Daily Union is respect fully directed to the following busi ness circular issued in the interest of the liquor trade: To THE Public.— Death & Cos., wholesale and retail dealers in spirits and malt liquors, take this opportu nity of informing their friends that j they continue the trade of making drunkards, bankrupts , beggars anil maniacs on reasonable terms, at the | shortest notice. The advertisers return their sin cere thanks to numerous customers, and to all the tippliug part of the 1 community, for the extensive patron-1 age they now receive; and they hope that many proofis that are now to be 1 foun 1 of thsir success iu the above lino of holiness will secure them the increased support of all drunkards j and little drop-drinkers, as well as ! forever silence the advocates of total 1 abstinence societies, those bitter ene-' | mics of their long-established and ; popular trade. Death & Cos., beg leave to assure t | the public that the article in which ! ; they ileal is the best and most pleas- 1 ant poison in the world; and they will warrant it certain death in every j case where the individual perseveres ia the use of it. * Death & Cos., bring themselves un- ] der obligations to send more persons ' to the poo* -bouse, the prison, the gal lows aud the grave-yard, than any' other firm; and they will also do it with the greatest possible dispatch;' to accomplish these desirable ends, it is only necessary for the individual to take a glass occasionally, till he feels that quantity insullieient to •gratify the craving apjieUtc which it will soon create; and when this wliis- ‘ key, gin, brandy, nle or porter appe tite is formed, the person is then pro-' pared to brave temporal misery for the sake of another glass. In short, Death & Cos. will spare no pains or expense to bring the wives and chil dren of their customers to misery, temporal and eternal, and drive to delirium and death as many as the public good requires. They arc con 1 stautly receiving new supplies of* the ‘ poisonous liquid which they will sell by the glass, the bottle, the barrel, nnd the hogshead. For the accommodation of their numerous customers, and for thu dis- j patch their increasing business,' 1). & C. have appointed a sufficient 1 number of active agents, who are stationed at convenient distances, in j splendid palaces, beer-shops, and public houses. These palaces, l>cur- j shops aud public houses may be known by the squalor, filth, obscenity ( or misery, of the customers who con-' gregate around them, as well as by the odors of the poison ? continually ! polluting the air around. Satisfactory references can lie given to ci unty jails, houses of correction, lunatic asylums, hospitals, work- : Ironses, insolvent debtor-ueurts, the court of bankruptcy, of the wives a fid families of those whom Death Si Vo. hare had the happiness to make drunkards. N. B—Death Si Cos. beg leave to caution all tipplers aud dram-drinkers from giving any heed to their wives, children or friends, or to any advo cates of total abstinence societies, as these parties are enemies to this soul and body-destroying business. Gen tlemen, by calling on our agents, may see specimens of drunkards, and sub jects for the rharnel-house, at all hours by day and by night, Sundays not excepted. Death Si Cos. i Tfie Itihlc. The person who wanders as leisurely as a philosopher of tides, along the seashore, may occasionally pick up a beautiful shell which the waves have landed upon the lieach; but he would be very foolish to conclude that there were no rich pearls in the depths of the great water, to reward divers, whose business requires them to go underneath the billows and down into the deep ocean caves after them. Who would not pronounce him foolish ? be cause he secs no pearls in that liquid expanse, assuming that there arc none such there! Just so the careless reader of the Bible, whose careless ness is ever most inexcusable, fails to grasp many of the very choicest gems, and, at best; only gathers a few sur face nuggets, while the attentive stu dents of the Bible, who arc ever justi fiable for being so, dig deeply into the mine and strike veins of inexhaust ible richness—and yet, believe it or not,such is human nature! The man who gives the great Book but a hasty perusal, is disposed to look down with eyes of contempt ui>on those who read it* solemn and impressive pages with attention, doubtless astonished that his studious neighbors (who other things appear to understand as well, or even better than he himself does) can sec anything so attractive in that volume, which seems to be so insipid in many of its parts, and so well fitted to make people hum and haw them selves to sleep, Poor man! Atten tive Bible reading is one of the most profitable employments and recrea tions of which man can form any con niption ; but he shows it not. A splendid l>c*iv ipilon. On a certain occasion one Paul Denton, a Methodist preacher in Texas, advertised a barbecuo with better liquor than is usually furnished, j | When the people assembled a ties perado iu the crowd cried out, “ Mr. i Paid Denton, your reverence has lied, i You promised not only a good bnr boctie, but better liquor. Where's the ; liquor?" “There !” answered the missionary, i in tones of thunder, and pointing his : , long, bony fingers at the matchless ! double spring, gushing up in two I i columns, with a sound like a shout of, joy, from the bosom of the earth, i “There!" he repeated, with a look as terrible as lightning, while his enemy , actually trembled at his feet, “There • t is the liquor whteh God, the Eternal, brews for all his children!’’ I “Not in the simmering still, over i fires choked with poisonous .gases,! 'and surrounded with the stench of j | sickening odor and corruption, does ' ' our Father iu heaven prepare the precious essence of life—pure cold ! water. But in the glade aud grassy dell, where tiie red deer wander and the child loves to play, there God ! brews it; and down, low down in the i deepest valleys, where the fountains murmur, and the rills sing; and high jup iu the mountain tops, where the | naked granate glitters like the gold , in the sun, where the storm clouds i brood and the summer storms crash ; j ! and out on the wide, wide sen, where the hurricane howls niusie, and the big waves roll the chords, sweeping the 'march ol'God-—there He brews it —beverage of life, health giving water. And everywhere it is a thing of beau ty; gleaming on the dew drop, sing ing in the summer rain, shining in ' the ice gems till they seem turned to living jewels; spreading a golden veil 1 over the setting sun, or a white gauze around the midnight moon ; sporting | in the cataract, sleeping in the glacier, dancing in the hail shower, folding its bright curtains softly around the wintry world : and weaving the many colored'iris, that seraph’s zone of air, whose warp is the rain drops of the ' earth, and checkered over with celes tial powers, the mystic hand of refrac tion—that blessed life water; no poison bubbles on its brink ; its foam j brings no madness and murder; no blood stains it* liquid glass; pale | widows and starving children weep ' not btrning tears in its depths! Speak 1 out, my friends, would you exchange it for the demon's drink, alcohol ?’’ A shout like the roar of the tempest , answered, “ No!” This most beautiful of all descrip tions of water lias for many years formed the chieg beauty of Gough’s Temperance Lectures, the lecturer giving it as original. Facetiae. —Friend “Jerry” is a good-natured, civil lellow, who at tends to his business ami provides well for his family, but lias one little failing, in this, that when he goes to his home in the suburbs at night, he is usually more or less under the in fluence of contraband lluids. One j niglit, a little after dark, he started for home with a nice turkey, safely done up in a strong wrapping paper, under his arm. “Jerry” found the road from the station to his pretty. cottage, some half mile distant, un commonly rough that night. He sev eral times stumbled and fell over all sorts of obstructions in the path. Each time lie fell he dropped his tur key. On entering his house, lie stead ied himself as Well as he was able, | and said to his wife : “Here, wifey, I’Ve got ’leven tur keys for you.” “Eleven turkeys, Jerry! What ilo ' you mean ? There's only one." “There must lie ’leven turkeys, wifey, for 1 fell down ’leven times, and every time I found a turkey.” A Needle in the Heart. —ln one of the last sessions of the Institute for Science and Literature, in Milan, Dr. Scrafin Bissi showed the heart of the deceased Count Ffllippo M , a maniac, who had killed his father in one of his rdViug attacks, and often tried to take his own life. The unfor tunate man died in consequence of a cancer upon his tongue, which was caused by biting his tongue in one of his attacks. At the dissection, the heart showed an anomaly which stands unparalleled in the annals of science. The left chamber contained a needle six centimeters (two inches) long. On careful enquiries, it was ascertained that the unfortunate man, 22 months liefore his death, had told his parents he had thrust a needle in his heart, which they did not believe at the time. During these 22 months, the insane person, who frequently suffered from colic, never felt the slightest pain in the heart, nor iu the vicinity of that organ, and his pulse was also perfectly regular during that time. . era Chinaman has liought a through ticket from New York to Hong Kong.

I-’acetious.—A Western newspapci records the arrival at Joliet in Illi nois, a few days ago, or a cargo of postholes. Unluckily, it docs not tell us how the postholes were packed, and whether they were slowed in bulk, or in pro|ier parcels.
