A more quiet election has not been held in Pulaski county ainre the war. There is Do excitement what ever. A Puzzle for tlio Public. A young gentleman engaged in merchandising on ihe line ol the Ma con and Brunswick Railroad, writes a private letter to the editor ol the Disi-atch. in which he saya : “I shall take pleasure in doing all I can to increase the circulation of the Dispatch, an 1 think I can g't you up a small club at this place.” Alluding to the mercantile business, our young friciul propounds s hard question tor soluton st our hands, lie says : **l have sold out on a credit and am now trying to get the mor.cy. Can you yiue me any information aa to the best way to proceed ?’’ The above is what some people msv call a “poser ” It is a question witch, we dare say. even the learned editor of the New York Ledger would hesitate to answer in bis col umn davoted to “correspondents.” We must candidly admit our ina bility to suggest any course whereby our friend can secure payment for his goads. The obnoxious Home stead Law stands lietweeu debtor and creditor, and cheats an lion- st man -out of his rights. The only advice we can offer is, to do a cash business hereafter, or else take deeds and tides to the creditor's land and stock. The Legislature soon to convene will, we fear, lie too much absorbed in private schemes and enterprises to devote the necessary time and atten tion to the iin|tortftiice of enacting a law for the collection of sidull debts. _ —— Large Sale of Town Property General O. C, Horns is advertising at public sale, on the first Tuesday in .February next, a large number of beautiful Luihjing lots in the sulmrhs and immediate business part of town. They will be sold on accommodating terms—one-half cash being required at time of eale, and the balance in - eight months. This is an excellent - opening for s|icculation, as town property is rapidly appreciating. There is great demand for dwelling - houses, and the heavy rents asked and obtained for sma ! l buildings should induce those having money to invest to eiect more for that purpose. The town is growing, and new citi zens continually arriving and casting their lot with us. We learn that several large planters and farmers in the surrounding country desire to locate in Hawkinsville for the pur poae of schooling their children. Thus fara scarcity of dwelling bousee .have partially detained them in this movement We hope all such obsta cles will soon be removed through the enterprise of some person having nay Hal to invest In tlio erection of suitable building* for , rental pur •i*'***'- Immigration to Gooj gia. From the Macon Telegraph and Messenger of last week we make a smopsis of the action of the Com mittee on Direct Trade and Immigra tion, which held a session at the Brown House, in Maeun, on the 27th December. The committee was called to order by the chairman, Se liter J«|bu C. Nieholis. Major Bryan, of Savannah, acted as secretary. Tha following named gentlemen, by nvitnlion of the chairman, were present, to give the committee the benefit of their-counsels: .1 udgo Schley i Mr. Isaac Russell, J’rof. Bansemor of Savannah, Col. F. SchaUer of Athens, Col. I. W. Avery, editor of the At lanta Constitution, Capt. C. W How ard of Bartow countv, Mayor lluff. Col. L. X. Whittle, lUn. C. A. Nut ting, lion. A. O. Bacon, Col. Win. B. Johnston. Capt- IT. G. Ilolt, Rev. Win. McKay, Alderman John W. Bnrke, Col. H. H. Jones, Col. John B. Weems, Col. Thomas Hardeman and others, who dropped in during the sitting. Communications were read from Major Screven, Senator Norwood and other gentlemen who had lieen Invl vited to attend, but who could not find it convenient to do so. Major Bryan presented an able and interesting report, which, we regret, our limited space will not per mit us to reproduce. The report produced a long and interesting discussion, which was participated in by most of the gen-j llemen present. Every speaker agreed as to the importance of the matters under discussion, and the necessary committees were raised and! instructed to go before the Legisla-’ ture anil ask the passage of bills establishing a Bureau of Immigra tion. Preparing maps and full details of the agiicultural, mineral and com-, mercial resources of Georgia, to be translated in several European lan-, |LU.ig*s. A subsidy of SIOO,OOO per annum was asked from the Georgia Legisla ture to be given to any steamship company that will make a satisfacto ry soutraet with the State to estab lish a line of steamships between some European port or ports aid Savannah. After au elegant banquet st the Brown House, at which the discus sion was continued, the committee! adjourned. Sad Accident in a Savanrmh Church- The Savannah Republican of Friday last says "a sad nud melan choly incident occurred in -Christ Church in Savannah on Christmas day. During the morning aerv ee Bishop Beckwith administered the rite of confirmation to several candi dates. Among these was a young lady of Savannah, Mi«s Elizabeth Spencer, daughter of Mr. William 11. Si»cncer; and returning to her |xiw after the ceremony, she leaned her head forward, with her pocket hand kerchief to her face, and fell to a kneeling posture. Sonic friends at once went to her assistance to bear her from tb« edifice and to her home, but by the time that the party reached the vestibule the pulse of their lovely burden had ceased its beatings, and she was dead. A few months ago Miss Spencer’* mother suddenly died under the attack of heart disease, and the daughter tins thus fallen beneath the blight of the same fell dis ease. The Governor’s Sal.try- The Savannah Advertiser says that it is mraored Governor Smith will not be inaugurated for his second t rm until the Legislature shall pass an act increasing his salary. The figures are ten thousand dollars. It is claimed that the present compen sation, four thousand dollars, is too little ; that the Governor is not able to live, and entertain as a Governor should, on this amount. A bill will be introducer! immediately upon the assembling of the Legislature, to in crease the salary, and the inaugura tion wiil be postponed to await its fate. The inaugural ball .will, of course, wait on the bill. R- L. Stapler- Our readers will find an advertise ment this week from their old friend Stapler, who is now doing a heavy business in Family Groceries and Plantation Supplies. You wiil find him near the river, ia the building formerly occupied by Daniel Rawia. See “ad.” Albany and Brunswick Bondr W.-.sHiNUTo.v, December 80.—j Judge Lochrnne, on bis way to Geor gia, n-jMiits favorable progress in the negotiations for thocompletion of tin*; Albany mid Brunswick Ro.id. The 1 plan, loosely stated is that Georgia shall guarantee the bonds, and that their holders shall finish and equip the road and pay its floating debt. The German bondholders have in dicated their willingness to accept tho, proposition—the holders to lie, with certain American holders of mixed Ucorgia securities, who wish to ifloat them, all of inlerchangable value,, upon the hacks us the Brunswick bonds. Our Bodily Infirmities. Physical infirmities tire the lot of nil. — Millions are always sick. No man, woman or child is uniformly In perfect health.— Much, however, of the sickness amt suirer ing which render life a burden to an many of our fellow beings!* due to rnreh-ssnes.- and neglect. A mighty antidote to tin leading causes of disease lias been provi ded. It is as harmless as it is efficient. No poisonous drug enters into its composi tion. It is an undcfilcd stimulant, tonic and aperient, of which every ingtedlcnf is vegetable. This unexceptionable prevent ive and restorative medicine is not “anew tiling undet the sun.” Hostetler's Stom ach Bitters will soon have been before the, world a quarter of a century; and it is not* too much to aver that thousands, aye, tens ol thousand--., are now using it'who would have been in their graves years ago had they not been strengthened and sustained by this wholesome stimulant. The rapidi ty with which tuiuor ailments often be come, when neglected, obstinate diseases* is well known. This tonic is famous for the immediate check which it gives to these breeders of deadly disorders. The sensation of languor, ,lhc sick headache, the nervousness, the indisposition to exer tion, the nausea, the confusion of brain, the physical debility, which arc intended to premonish ns of ihe approach of aeriaiis danger, are invariably removed by a li-w doses .of the Bitters. The fame of the preparation as a genuine specific for ilys pepsin, bilious complaints, malarious fi vers, rheumatism and chronic debility, is as wide as the world; and in these days ol infamous charlatanism; when fierce catliar tci, that rot) the invalid of the last rent- Mints of his strength, are advertised as in vigoranls! it i* indeed a blessing to man kind that Hostetler’s Stomach Bitters ate everywhere procurable, and everywhere, popuh.r. jan2-Ji»i Ten Because* —A hundred reasons might he given why Lyon’s Kalhniron should lie u«ed by every intelligent human being in preference to every other prepa ration for the hair, but ten will suffice.; Here they are: Because it nourishes the fibres, multiplies them and makes them grow ; because it tint-; prevents them from withering nud bleaching: i'ceau«w*it re moves the scurf and dandruff which choke them as lares choke tjie golden grain ; Ikm ciusc it keeps the scalp cool and prevents eruptions; because it renders the Imir us lustrous as satin ; he -an«- il makes it pliant ami elastic ; lierau-e ;it is a fragrant and delightful dressing; because ildoesuut soil Ihe pillow, the cap or hat ; because it is without a rival in cheapness, and because no other a’ticle so and for the same pnqns , in this or any oilier country, possesses all, or even on-*-half, of these invaluable prop erties.
