Ti b New Wauiiino Machine
We were imbed by Rev. K F, Rey
nolds last week to witness his new
patent washing machine operate. —
In company with several gentlemen,
we went ;«* his lesidenW, and al
though it was under unfavorable cir
cu instances, yet all present expressed
themselves sa.i.died that it was a
marked imjiroveinent upon any ma
chine they had yet seen.
Some thirty pieces of clothing
were put in, and in thiity five min
utes they came out well washed. The
clothes aie washed and wrenched
before they are taken out of the
machine. There can be no injury to
tbe finest fabric in the operation, as
tliere is no scouring. The principle
upon which washing is done, is by
water runuing all the tune through
the goods, in a boiling cainlition, an*!
kept at a high temperature by means
of steam, w hich is constantly forcing
itself through the water ami clothes.
Mr. KevnolJs is now having the ma
chines put up and is offering them
to the public.

For tire Gw-ims-tt Herald.
Editor of the Herald: A few
weeks ago, I wrote to Judge Nor
ton of Texas —formerly a citizen
of your county, on a matter oi
business, which elic’fcd the fojlow
ing letter which I semi you for
publication in your paper.
His leti.* , as will be seen, con
tains sou e items of interest—of
the soil? productions, cii.-toms, e c.,
of that far off State.
Judge Norton was raised in your
comity —one mile southeast of
your town, and resided here until
fifteen or fix teen years ago. Since
then, he has become a cit zen of
Texas, where, by h:s energy and
talents, he has r sen b> distinction
and eminence in the legal pt'ok-s-.
sion.
His old friends here, who knew
of his early snuggles with adverse
fortune, xxill l»e much gratified
at his success, and will extend to
him their congratulations. W.
'lvl it, Texas, Nov. 30, 1872.
Deau Sik : Your cpmra in iuation
of recent date received as a wel
! come visitor, for it affords me great
pleasure to hear from an esteemed
f'iend. Mr. John F Baxter, of
Wood county, and myself have had
frequent conversations about many
with wliuin we were founerly ac
qainted i:i old Gwinnett We
rpoke, no doubt, of letters sent
and received, and I recollect dis
tinctly of your name be in ' fre
(jueiitly meutioiicd, and aspeeially
in connection with certain “Pen
and Ink Sketches.” I, however,
had not written you, neither have
I investigated the land claims of
the heirs of ——. But a former
omission nothing from
the pie.sure o! - writing now. I
do not know whether you ever
visited the “Lone Star State” or
not. If you have, perhaps you are
sufficiently familliar with the face
of the country, manners, customs,
etc. If you have not, perhaps a
brief history would not be uniter
csting to you. I may, however,
refer to a lew facts and peculiari
ties'met with in this broad State
too broad for me ever to rea
sonably expect to see tbe half
of it! I have frequently been j
on the coast —trj near the north-!
era boundaries of the State — I
along the eastern line and a few
hundred miles west of the same.
I have seen its vast prairies, with
herds of various and countless uni
mals grazing on tlie extended plain
as far as tlie eye could reach, or
perhup.se reclining in a copse of
timber here and there, appearing
like small Jjislauds in a sea of wa
vring grass. I have seen its
deuse Pineries, towering high ;
the Monster. Oak and kindred
trees, deeply tooted in its fertile
soil, which lias made them huge
aud umbrageous. 1 have floated
on its Waters and feasted on ils
fr uits. But I know but little more
of tlie Western portions of the
State than I did when I was a citi
zen of tlie “Em|)ire State of the
South.” I find in this country,
society both good and bud. I
have seen in - town and country
a respectable number of school
' houses, churches, etc. li' lam ea
i pable of judging of talent, I find
many men here who will compare
favorably with those of any other
country A man coning from
some of the Old States, expecting
to find all ignorant and easily
managed, will find himself very
much mistakes. It is true, the old
Texans have their peculiar ideas.
Most of them have lived a rough
life, and are wedded to their ear
lier habits, and l suppose have im
pressed upon their children —to
some extent —their peculiar man
ners.
When I came to this State,soino
tlviig near twelve years ago, I was
considered “Green from the States”
—and I fovnd many tilings which,
to such an one, seemed qnito ex.
centric—such as a long team of
oxen—say a dozen yoke—till hitch
ed to the same wagon, without
line to control them. The driver
mounted on a Mustang, with large
spurs an 1 small bells attached to
them, and a very long whip.—
When ho wants his team to turn
to the left, he says, “Wo come
when to tlie right the word is
"back.” The favorite position of
' an old Texan is on horseback and
they arc generally extraordinary
■ tiJers. The Mexican stock have
a way of “pitching”—unknown in
the old States, and hy w hich the
animal is apt to relieve himself
his burden unless the rider is ver/
I ejqiert. f
f might sty a .great deal about
Texas jurisprudence, but that
which has Income familliar in
torv would licit! be out ol plaeeL
In this C HiiiecUoi), however, allown
me to tender you my thanks for
your kind exjro ssioiis in relation
to that which yon saw proper to
call iny success in the \\ est.
The telegram .which ihfonned
me of my appointment and con
firmation us Judge of the Ninth
Judicial District, took me by sur
jirise, for I had not applied for
the position. Yet I confess a
.Tudgeshiji f r eight years, with a
salary of thirty five bundled dol
lars a year, presented inducements
which I was n >t inclined to resist.
It is true, the labor is almost inces
sant, but I find no difficulty in the
performance of duty. Traveling
sometimes becomes unpleasant,
over rough roads, through swanios
and deep fords ; but railroads will
boon obviate some of these diffi
cullies : and I hope you will not
think me egotistic when 1 say
(inter nos) that I have given gene
ral satisfaction to the Bar aud
People.
I find in this country many old
Georgia ai quaintanees, and many
from iwinnett cunty. In fact, 1
suppose 1 find more persons in this
country, whom I once knew in
Oeoigfa, than I could find were 1
back in* Lawrenceville. I was
there, for a short time, in 1863. I
felt like a stranger in a strange
land! 1 saw nut few familiar
faces. Those who were small cbil
dreh when I left that country, are
now grown up, and of Course aj>-
pear as strangers to me. Ard
ainongs the few 1 recognize! as
old comrades —those with whom I
started in early life— 1 cunhi plain
ly se > on their features the impress
of time. If I live long enough, I
think I may lie in old Lawrence
vtile once ni re. I h;ive written
enough—at lea's;, for the present
I would b“ pleas 'd to hear from
you a;:iin. As heretofore, your
friend, Z. Norton.
For the Gw nur-tt iferaid.
Our Sabbath Schools.
M any of onr Sabbath ‘ Schools |
which flourished during the spring
and summer nontlis are now welj
nigh frostbitten. There is in them
little or n.< an'm.i.i >'» —perhaps
suspended—being killed off at. the j
top. It will require the genial
rays of another vernal sun to
cause tltem to hud o t aud grow
forih in their tender henuty : and
perhaps before then, some may be
• ‘killed out” at the root Shame
lul ! Is tliere no remedy by which
suspension may be obviated? Is
there less interest manifested in
these schools by our yeitng friends
during the winter than the sum
mer season ? Let only comforta
ble houscs he erected, with good
fire places, or furnished with sub
side stoves, so that all can keep
comfortable, and there will be no
need for suspension; besides it
will be found that there will be
just as much interest, generally,
taken every way in the winter as
in tho summer. Precaution is
I what is necessary. No one wants
his or her child to go into a cold,
open house where the piercing
wind is whistling through a dozen
or more large apertures incessant
ly, and there remain an hour or
two without a spark of fire to
1 raise the temperature. So let
! efforts be used to secure comfort,
j If Sabbath Schools arc useful in
the summer, they are just as much
so in the winter, If if be right to
instruct our youth in the Word of
God (which few Christians will
deny) in summer, it is equally as
much so in tlie winter The prin
ciples of Christianity, where im
planted, exist at all seasons, and
at all places. And wtiilo tlie pru
dent advocates of Sabbath Schools
make no pretentions whatever for
thorn as to what is the church, they
claim that it is light—that it is
proper— to instruct, according to
their ability, the youth of the coun
try in those truths revealed in the
Word of God “Train up a child
in the way lie should go; aud
when lie is old he will not depart
from it.”
There is moreover much said
' about “Sunday School literature.”
| The best library is the Bible. The
best interpreter of the scriptures,
is the scriptures. Lot the Bible be
the Book of our Sabbath Schools,
and they w ill have life, be blessed,
i and be an interest even to the
i Church —“Tlie words tlut 1 speak
mity you, they are spirit and they
| are life ” —John vi.:t»3.

Flection of County Officers.
Mr Editor : This i-*, no doubt, the
last issue ol y< ur paper that will
appear, prior to the election of the
various connty officers, on Wednes-,
day, the Ist dev of January, and as
it is a matter ot crest importance to
. the pnblie generally that ea.-h posi
tion to he filled on (hat day should
aj>e bv such a'are competent ainl.wel!
qualified for the discharge of tlioj
duties,thereof, permit me to suggest
the following ticket, with a few rea
sons why it is, in try opinion, the
best that can be selected from fho
long list of candidates before me 'J
For Clerk Superior Court,/
W. L. Vaughan.
For Sherifl,
A. N. Robinson.
For Tax Collector,
Moses Martin.
For Receiver,
For Treasurer,
Robt. N. Robinson.
For Ordinary,
, J. T. Larkin,
For Coroner,
T. N. Shackelford.
For Surveyor,
R. M. Cole.
It is useless for me to givo the
various reasons why Mr. Vaughn
should be re elected. The efficient,
prompt and faithful manner in which
lie lias heretofore discharged the
duties of his office are fully known
and appreciated by tlie public; and
as bis re election is already assured,
it would be a more useless waste of
your time and space to say more of
him hero.
FOR SHERIFF.
I am decidedly of tlie opinion that
the ticket headed by Mr. A N Rob
inson is tbe best that can he selected,
under all tbe circumstances. Mr.
Patterson, Mr. Hamilton, and tbe
gentlemen proposed as their deputies,
are all clever men; but there are
strong lessons whv tliev should not
be elected, which in noway reflect on
their private and moral worth. Mr.
Patterson and Mr. Whitworth both
reside several miles from town,
wheteas the convenience of the
public require tiiat, there should he a
Fheriff or Deputy at tbe county site.
When we country people go to town
i on legal business, and have need of a
jßheiiff, it is asking too much of ns
1 to require us to ride five or six miles
I and back 'o find one, and then at
the risk of leis being absent from
i home. Besides this, Mr. Patterson
! cannot wife, and could not we'l jier
j form the duties of. Sheriff. This is
not disereditoble to him at all, but is
a misfortune. Mr. Hamilton, I un
derstand, cares nothing for tho posi
tion, and expects to move to Texas at
an early day as practicable. He is
an honorable, clever, worthy young
man, and his deputy is a good fellow
also.
FOK TAX COLLECTOR.
Moses Martin cannot bo beat,
because the people of Gwinnett know
him so well, and know the fidelity
1 J y
energy _ and spirit of accommodation
in which ho discharges the duties of
the office of Tax Collector. Besides
this he was a gallant soldier of the
“Lost Cause, 1 ' is a cviple—and has a
large family to support.
FOR TAX KECIEV! «.
I suggest no name, because there
are several gentlemen running for tbo
office who are equally worthy and
competent, and it would be difficult
to select other than a good man from
tbo list of candidates for that office
FOR OKDtNHKY.
James T. L»rakih ought to l> • re
elected by a unanimous vote of die
people of this county. He lias dis
charged the duties of his office as
well, if not beler, than any of his pre
decessors, and is, in my opinion, de
cidedly more competent for the posi
tion than his opponent. In addition
to this, Mr. Larakin lost one of his
legs while in the C. S. Army—iu fact,
in the very lan battle of that long
and bloody war, in which he bore
ati active and gallant part from the
beginning to its olose. Where crip
pled soldiers , who are competent for
office, are candidates for office, it
would be base ingratitude in the peo
ple of tlie Souih to turn their backs
on them. This is the only way that
we can our gallant, maimed
heroes.
1 intended at the outset to sav
something of the candidates lor each
of tlie offices, but I find it will con
sume more space than I imagined,
and will be compelled to desist.

Tllß A. A: 0. W. CANAL.
It i 3 reported by telegraph from
Washington that the cheap transpor
tation „ be.ween the Western waters
the Atlantic ocean is aleeady
engaging the attention of Congress.
The m ilter was' to be referred to a
rp-ciai committee of fire, but objec
tion being made, the resolution wont
orer It is not probable licit Mor
ton, Cameron, and the other bitter
Radical leadeis, will allow the great
project of connecting tlie Ohio and
the Atlantic by canal to be carried
out if they can prevent it
It transpired, during his recent
visit to Atlanta, that Mr. Stephens
himself is opposed to the proposed
great Western and Atlantic Canal.
He holdsj if your correspondent is
correctly informed, that the General
Government has no constitutions]
authority to construct such werks of
internal improvement, and that it
would be in derogation of the lights
of the States lo do so.
WIIAT TIIK FRIENDS OF Tllß PROJECT PAY.
The friends and advocates of the
canal contend, on the other hand>
that tlie Fedeial Government is vot
ing away annually millions of acres
of the public lands and millions of the
public money for the improvement of
the Northern and Western States
and the development of their re
sources—that whether this is in ac
coidance with the Constitution of the
United States or the musty resolu
tions of ’9B-99, a vast majority of
tlie people believe it is, and approve
of it—that while we are standing
upon cur dignity, or rather, as they
say, upon our folly the world is mov
ing rapidly forward, and the public
domain and treasure of the country
are being used exclusively for the
advancement of other States, less scru
pulous, or less foolish, as the case
may he—and that if we would ever
extricate oiuseitcs from the deep pit
into which we have been thrust by
the R nlir-al politicians of the North
ami Constitutional dcs;uictionisis of
the South, we must cease to delve
among the dry hones ot the past,
accept tiie world as we find it, place
oni elves abreast with tlie times, and
insist, if need be, upon the few good,
along with the many evii, things that
may faU to our unhappy lot. At all
events, the advocates of the canal
hold that if the Federal Gove: ament
sees pr, per lo construct the work
and nay top it, it would be the acme
of folly in the South to oppose it,
especial'v us thus ptjopovx! to be ap
propriated, if rejected by us, would
be sure to be applied to less metitoi i
otts objects in other portions of the
country.
HUMORS OF THIC EXKCUTIVF. DEPARTMENT"
It appears that the hard-wotked
secretaries and clerks of the Execu
tive Department ltave their fun as
well as other people. It is said that
very amusing communications are
sometimes addressed to the office, ar.d
upon all imaginable subjects. An
enterprising mathematician solicits
the opinion of the Governor upon a
new theory he has invented for squar
ing the circle. A poor woman writes
two hundred miles to ask aid to pay
for her sewing machine. An Ordi
nary from Rabun county returns cer
tain commissions for Notaries I’ublic
*n bis county, with the expressive
endorsement entered upon each one
of them : “Refuses to lift his commis
sion ” A literary African, with* mili
tary proclivities, desires arms for “the
American Nightingales,” a volunteer
company which he commands, and
by way of prop'tiating the favor of
the Governor,addresses him *s “Y.'ur
High ant Mighty Highness,” and
then proceeds to relieve himself after
this fashion:
“Pardon me, s ir r if I ush pleas too
severe—but my anxiety being so
Great, I cannot retain them longer.”
But the following appeal to the
Governor, which I run permitted to
oopy, is both rich and pathetic:
“Dear Sin : I give in to the Tax
Receivers of my county a horse, cow,
wagon, valued at S3OO. Since then
the horse has died, the cow has gone
dry, and l have no money. The Tax
Collector says I must pay all my
taxes, or he will issue execution.—
Therefore, humbly request your Hon
or to please instruct the Tax Collec
tor to relieve me of my tax.”
This request under the law, could
not be granted. At last accounts,
however, the 'oang gentlemen in the
office, with the Governor at their
head, were making up a purse to pay
that tax themselves. OutEciiEE.
