It tl>i Ist Convention. This body, embracing twenty-seven Associations in different parts of the iState, and a membership of fiU.OOO, meets in Cartersvill, On., on the 21st of April next. The minutes of the last session show toe membership of the denomination in the State—regu lar, anti-missionary and colored—to 1» 115,198. The colored membership Is 17,758. Besides general objects of Itenevolencc, this Convention elects the Board of Trustees of Mercer Uni versity, which has recently been moved from Penfield to Macon. Two hundred and sevent-five thous and dollars have been paid by the State Treasury on account of debts of the State Bond contracted under Blodgett’s brief administration. Four of the Radical candidates for county officers in Bibb have received their commission. The Democratic candidates propose to carry the mat ter before the Supreme Court. It is proposed by the Coinmandcry of knights Templar in Atlanta to hold a grand encampment during the an nual Conclave of the Grand Comman do ry in May. Ftftecn thousand dollars have been sultscribctl towards building a street railway in Atlanta, and a stock com pany has been formed, of which R. Peters is President. The Concord Woolen Factory, in Cobb county, is doing a heavy busi ness in the manufacture ofjoans and easimcrcs of the finest quality. A religious revival is in progress in the Methodist Church at Marietta. The Journal is of the opinion that no place needs it more than Marietta. Mr. Perry Zeigler, of Valdosta, was killed at Naylor, on the A. A G. H- It. last Saturday night, by a man named Rufus Carter. The assassin approached Mr. Zeigler while lie was stsinding in front of a fire in the 01)011 air, seized him by the hair, and with one stroke of a knife, cut his throat, causiong almost instant death. Car ter then made his csea]>e, and, at last accounts, had not been arrested. The murdered man was the youngest son of Wm. Zeigler, of Valdosta, and was a very promising and popular young man. Florida Colonization. —Ata meet ing held in New York 01 Monday, of an association calling themselves Hu manitarian Pioneers, it w:is announ ced that on the 25th instant two hun dred colonists will have been enrolled in that city, and would sail from port to Fernamlina, Florida, and thence, via Coder Keys, to Charlotte Ilarlior, Manatee county. None but agricul turists and mechanics are permitted to join the colonists. A lodge of Good Templars has been organized in Greensboro liegining with forty or lift 3- members- A half-breed blood hound, of Cuba stock, died in Augusta on Wednesday. He was more than twenty years old. Four negroes, charged with bur ning several bales of cotton in Mon roe county', escaped from the jail in Forsyth last week. Columbus Cotton Rbczipts footed 70,115 bales on Wednesday last, against C 1,023 same time last year. The price then was 20 cents—now ® quoted at 13$. The Monroo Advertiser says that Mrs. McGougb, wife of Robert C. McGough, Esq., residing a few miles * north of town, was seriously burned on Thursday evening. She was sit ting near the fire, when suddenly she discovcad that her dress was in flames. The alarm promptly' brought Mr. McOough to her assistance, but not until the injuries were such as will i.cl.iMt- imivn ful-ii Hon. Kelson Tin'* Letter ol Withdrawal. Hon. Nelson Tift bM publisncd a letter wlllulrawing-from aftirthci con test of Whiteiey’s scat. We quote that portion of his letter in which ho assigns his reason for this comae: 4 Iu December last, as shown by the official returns, I was elected to the 41st Congress by a majority of 500 votes, and to the 42d Congress by a majority of 504 votes. By menus, which hare been explained by House Miscellaneous Document No. 08, parts Ist, 2d and 3d, 41st Congress 3d session, certificates of election were issued by Governor P.sllock to my opponent, It. H. Whitcley, for both the 41th and 42d Congress, upon which he has been seated. I gave notice or contest for the seat in the 41st Congress, and subsequently' for tho 42d Congress, wliilo there was yet hope that the law would be vindicated. After much delay and difficulty, I procured and placed 1k?- forc the cominltcc of Elections, cer tified copies of the election returns, convincing thorn that I was elected, and that the cirtficates wuro wrong fully issued to Mr. Wbitely. But a majority of the committee declined to report the facts, and permitted the wrong to be continued in the 41st and be repeated In tho 42d Congress. This is but a repetition of the in justice of tho Radical majority in cases from other States, where the Radical Governors have usurped tho right of the people, 'and given cir tilicatcs of election to the minority candidates of their own parly—they have been seated and retain their scats in spite of contests which have shown that they were not elected. Judging from my experience and these facts, and from the facility which has already been shown by our opponents in Sumter and Pulaski counties, in procuring false testimo ny to suit their purpose—as shown in the document above referred to— it would, in my opinion, be a waste of time and means to again prove by respectable citizens what lias been already demonstrated, only to be de. nied by unscrupulous Radical par tisans, whose testimony would again as heretofore, be taken as a sufficient pretext to justify the wrong which lias been commlted.” The Milledgeville Recorder says:, “The oat crop, though quite young, is very' fine and much larger than we expect to sec planted. We are glad to notice that our farmers sown so much grain.” The editor of the Valdosta Times has been brought before the Street Commissioners of that county for re fusing to work on the highways, but as the Town Council owes him, lie is not afraid of the consequences. Out in Wisconsin, where they pay $lO bounty for wolf scalps, they only gave a female preacher, who convert ed forty people, $l2O. The man who didn’t believe in adver tising has gone into partnership with the Sheriff, aud the latter is now doing the advertising. Beau Jliekmau complains that be cause “In God we trust” is on the niekles, it is proposes! now to adorn the greenbacks with “I know that my Redeemer liveth.” The first spring dress has appeared on the avenue, in New York. It was gray and white striped silk. The first spring dress in Terre Haute, Ind., was of blue calieo with white spots, and the woman was barefooted. A Virginia paper cites as a remark able instance of the efficacy of abstain ing from medicine, a lady in that State who has reached the nge of ninety-six, and throughout all the long years of her life has taken but three pills and has buried three hus bands. While the firemen were working diligently to extinguish the flames Sat urday night, says the Columbus Sun, some one said there was whisky un der the hay. The alann spread, when some one from above yelled out, “its auction whisky, it won’t burn, knock out the head and let it put out the fire!” The suggestion was not acted on. 0 Gilbert M. Anderson, sentenced to the penitentiary for life, from Colum bus, for murdcc, left for Milledgeville last Saturday. He is over sixty years of age. An Indianapolis gentleman’s claim for divorce is based on the ground tliat when he married, four weeks ago, his jrife’s fiair was black, but now it is re<l enough to entitle her to the I front rank in a torch light procession. Letter f om Dooly County. Editor TTawi-insville Dwpaloh : At yopr solicitation a short time since to write you an occasional line frotn Dooly, I have to say that the rainy day has somewhat hastened the writing; not that we farmers have nothing else to do, for it is Seldom that work of some kind docs not de mand the attention of us pour “ clod hoppers.” During the month of February -ml to the present writing in March wc have had much sloppy and unpleas ant weather, the cold by no means extreme and really most of tho time mild and 3priug-likc. Our fai in work, however, has been greatly retarded by the lands being too wet to plow, the result is but little eftrn planted and scarcely any preparation for plant ing. Crops arc bound to he back ward. Farmers intend planting about the same proportion of corn and cot ton as last season, determined if there is money in cotton as 12£ cts. to find it, or in other words, if there is any bottom in the cotton market, to do all in their power to fathom it. Oh, yc head-strong and foolish farmers! when will you learn lessons of wis dom? Raise your own supplies of all kinds on your farm, and a small crop of cotton for which you will re ceive more money and perform less labor in the cultivating, housing, etc. Fertilizers will be used to a very limited extent in Dooly this year. The exorbitant prices demanded for them, the distance we have to haul them, the lateness of the season, wet weather and consequent bad reads, together, with the universal scarcity of money with the farmers, all tend to lessen the amount to bo applied to the present crop. It is an important point and a very great fault with farmers that every implement necessary is not at hand and in good condition when wanted ; also that w-c lay- out too much for our force at command on the farm, cs])c cially under the present piuch-tnc-sorc system of free lab r. We should not for a moment enter tain the idea that our farm work will go on successfully unless wc give it our personal attention and supervi sion. The merchant, the lawyer, the (lector, must attend to their business 01 all will be wrong aud it is not less so with the farmer. Farmers, as a class should adopt the maxim of poor, Richard, that “he who by t'. e plow would thrive himself must cither hold or drive.” Iguorant laborers cannot enter fully' into al the intentions and plans of the fanner; lie must be the guiding and directing head of the farm, or much ill-determined effort will take place. If every day’s work on the farm should 1« the result of reflection of 'preconcerted arrangement, and di rected to a certain and definite end, wc would sec fewer badly cultivated farms, fewer pieces of work unfinished for want of time, and fewer farmers “ coming out at the little end of the horn,” the result of bad calculations and worse management. Now, Mr. Editor, I will revert to a subject of vast importance to the peo ple of Dooly. Wc arc without Rail road facilities aup conveniences, and are now moving in an enterprise which wo trust will put us in clo ser communication with the “ world and the rest of mankind.” We are to have a Railroad meeting on Tues day, the 4th day of April next, for the purpose of receiving the reports of committees appointed to rcoeive subscription to the stock of the Hawk insville and Americus Railroad Co-, and for tho purpose of perfecting an organization by the elcctin of officers for said company, that we may pro ceed at once to some arrangement by which we can secure the prompt and early completion and equipment of the road. Stockholders and all par ties interested are invited to attend and participate in tho action of the meeting. Aotlicr matter—one I think, too, of great importance to you as a jour nalist, and to your town as merchants of Doolyitcs. It is the want of mail facilities into your town and the citizens of our county. Instead of our mail coming directly from Hawk insville via Millwood, it is of necessi ty forced to take a circuitous route by- Macon to Montezuma to reach as near a point as the one from where it started. Now, Mr. Woods, have not your citizens, in connection with our energy and enterprise, sufficient to secure the establishment of a semi or tri-weekly mail from Hawkinsville to Vienna via Millwood, a distance of 25 miles, instead of our present route of one hundred and twenty-five miles ? Get up a petition, get your citizens to sign.it, come to Dooly court in April, WC will sign it, and if forwarded to the %- \faatcr General, wc think the J. sill be established at once. What nay yon and your citizen? ? You must io >k tb your laurels. Montczu mr, a niece mudholc a few years since, by the enterpt ise of her citizens has outstripped Hawkinsville, mid is fast drawing the trade of this section to build up her own business interest. Hawkinsville lias the preference in location and ituilroiul and St-atnbonl facilities, and if she is outstripped, it w ill be the fault of her own citizens. More auon. Yours, Ac., J ONIONItS.

The New Haven boys have a novel way of enjoying tin* sweeta-of this life. They take along string, dip it into the molasses, ami putting one end be tween their teeth swallow tho rest. After calmly enjoying the delicious sweetness awhile, they' take hold of the string and ptill it gently out and repeat the operation. It’s fun. Josh Billings says: “The live man is like a little pig; he is weaned young, and begins to root early. lie is the pepersass uv creation and all spice of the world.

Every day demonstrate* more clearly t hat liver complaint, in all its distressing forms, can be controlled and cured with out difficulty or inconvenience. It is an ob stinate disease, but its obstinacy is not proof against the pertinacious, remedial and res torative operation of Hostetler's Stomach Hi Iters. That genial corrective compel s the organ to do it* duty. It mutt secrete reg uarly and healthfnlly under the Influnco of the Bitters. Their action brings it back from a state of rebellion into perfect har mony with laws of health. If there is cos tiveness, it disappears; If there is side-ache or back-ache, it ceases ; if the skin and the whites of the eyes are tinged with super fluous bile, they recover their natural hue i If the appetite is gone, it returns; if the digestion is impaired, it is restored; in brief w Uatever the symptoms of tho complaint may be, and what ever the phase it lias as sumed, a eure it certain. Bach arc the un iform effects of this preparation where Ml ions disease has been already developed but in cases where there is merely a consti tutional tendency to liver complaint,it may be prevented throughput life by tho regular use. in small quantities, of this palatable antidote.
