PROSPECTUS OF '.Iie Countryman ! VTILES’ Register, the most useful journal ever I xx issued in America, has been revived in the pitbHcat'nn of I lie Countryman. This journal is j a lae-itnile of its original, in the number and size ! of i's pages, its'typography, and all the features ; which gave value to the standard publications is- ! sued by Mr. Niles Besides tins features of Niles’ Register, the Country man has others which should render it still more attractive—to-wif. a department ot ele gant literature; rejecting the style of Yankee filer- »ry jnuin .Is, and modeling irselt aftu.- the best English miscellaneous weeklies, but at the same nine, being stai iped with an independent, Bptrth- ern tone, o, ig- . culiar t» itself An atti-e , ut- with it. is that it is puh!is!i< . ci- -.-try on the editor's plantation nine min s fiotn any town or village, and devotes much attention to agriculture, turai sports, and everything that interests the country gentle- mars. « The Countryman is a handsome quarto, of six teen pag*s. published weekly on iho iditor's plan tation, near Eatonton, Ga . to which all communi cations should l.e addressed.

TURNER. dec 10 4t Eatonton, Ga. men: of Europe, would be willing to enter upon a sy- tetn of gradual emancipation: This, in our judgment is a grave error, evincing a superficial and short-sigh ed view of the question. We hold that without slavi ry as the substratum of s->ciety. democratic covert- met. t is a failure, and the right of universal suffrage a humbug, and, hence we maintain tlmt to emancipate siavet y, we must, in order to preserve stable govern ment, abolish democratic institutions with it. To substitute n servile class for the present servile race wiil be suicidal, by building tip degrees and divis ions in society wholly incompatible with liee govern ment. In such an event, the substrata or lower classes being the most numerous, and embodying the ignorance of the country’, will always exercise a controlling in fluence' at the ballot box, and wrest the government froiq the hands of that superior intelligence which i.- ah olntely necessary to .administer and carry on gov ernment of any kind. It was, in fact, to tne conser vatism and enlightened statesmanship "of the .South that our old Government was indebted not only for its establishment, but for its long continuance, and it is to I the institution of slavery we are indebted for this con I servatism. In the South, it is only the superstructure of society or of the community that goes to the ballot box anil controls the machinery of government, while { in the North it is the mbstrata or low er and more ig- ! norant classes that predominate and exercise a cou- j trolling influence. Let, us, then, not think of giving | tip the institution of slavery unless we are prepared to give up free government with it. As to the conciliation of European opinion by’ the ! emancipation of slavery, we regard also as a g eat | mistake ; or would we s-. conciliate it even it it could j be done at so great a price. We doubt nun covet wliWier we should gain the good opinion of European state^aeii even by thus humiliating ouiselves before j tin-m. Their professed love for the negro, like that ol the Yankee, is merely hypocritical. They have used tin* institution as an instrument for severing and de- i 8<royirg this once great republic, of whose influence ; they st<a>d iu awe. Why- is it that while waging a j systematic and unceasing warfare against slavery in ! tiiis country, they have never raised their voices against i the same institution iu Cuba, Mexico and the Mouth J Am rican States 1 And if it be tbe system of slavery ; here that prevents them from recegnizin ' our hide- pendency and entering into treaty stipulations with us, why is it that for the same reason they do not break ii their alliance with the slave countries above named ! if it were philanthropy merely that prompted their ac tion, there arc ample fields lor its exercise outside of these Southern States. No, it is not tne system of slavery as it exists here against which their hostility is directed, but i. is or was the growing power of free institutions on this continent j They dreaded the gigantic growth of the great Amen 1 can republic just as they dt^ud the growing power oi | Russia on the Eastern continent, and when this is bro- . ken down or destroyed to their satisfaction, they-will a.-knowh tig.; our independence as well and as soon with slavery as without it. lie is a shallow thinker who supposes {that we'shall gain a recognition of our independence by European powers by- tiie sacrifice cf slavery, amTeven if we coald it is not worth the price demanded. As for ourselves, we regard the institution as the corner stone of our liberties, ns the bulwark ot free government, and shall value independence as wotth but little without it. Appeal. WEST0YEX.

I£c construction. The following bill, ns reported in the Federal Con gress on the subject of reconstruction, we insert for the benefit of those short-sighted persons who would, after all the Yankees have done for its, risk the future of this country in their hands. If they can swallow Iho pill here presented, then they are willing to submit to any treatment, botanical mineral, vegetable or physical.— People of the .South, do you accept the plan 7—we kuow not—it would be too insulting to intimate such a thing. But read and ponder for yourselves : Reconstruction of the Confederate States. The bill for “reconstructing” the Government of the ‘‘rebellious States” was introduced in the Federal Con gress Friday. We find the following summary of its provisions.in the Tribune : It provides for the appointment by the President of provisional governors ofrebel States, who shall see that the laws of the United States and of the States before the rebellion are enforced. But no law or usage recognizing slavery shall be recognized by any officer or court at such State. It emancipates all slaves in such State, and their posterity forever, ttud provides lor the dischaige, on habeas corpus, of persons held to service on preteupe of ownership. It provides for the punishment of attempts to rc-en- Gave emancipated persons. It declares that officers of the rank ot Colonel, or higher, iu the rebel service, are not citizens of the United States. The bill further provides for the calling of conventions in States whose governments have been usurped and overthrown as soon as tne military resistance to the United States shalljiave been suppressed and the people shall have sufficiently returned to their allegiance The conven tions arc required to provide that persons in rebel civil and military se. vice above the grade of Colonel, shall not vote for, or be, a member ot the Legislature or Governor. Involuntary servitude is prohibited, and tbe free dom ot till persons to be guaranteed in the said States. No debt, State or Confederate, created by the usurp- ing power is to be recognized. If the convention shall refuse to le-establish the State government upon the above conditions, t- e provisional government is to de clare it dissolved, ami another election of delegates is to be ordered. loing good service. On the whole we think the de nanil of the Government unreasonable, and we trust 'lie Government will resist firmly ad attempts to dis band his troops—which Would virtually be effected by yielding to the demand of the Secretary ot \Var. The Government claims the troops underact of 17th Feb nary last. We presume the whole matter will under go judicialmvestigatiou—probably tried under a habeas eorpnt, and if decided agniust the Governor will be taken up to the Supreme Court. Finical frotiififu. On official information we are enabled to state lhai Gets. Hood, with his army, is <*ce more on this side of the Tennessee, which he crossed at Bainbridge terry >n Monday and Tuesday last. No particulars whntev- re are given, though we are inclined to think, from the tenor of recent Aankee dispatches, .that he was not very doselv pressed by Thomas, and infer that, with the'exception of some stragglers and the severely wounded, he has brought bis urn v out er.tiie. There is little reason to doubt, also,that lie has lost a consid erable portion of bis artillery, though this can easily lie replaced. A few days, however, we hope will place ns in possession of all tile particulars Altogether we can but regard this as an illstarred campaign,though we feci great relief from the know'dge that lie has succeeded in again putting the broad Tennessee between himself . and the enemy.— Appeal 1st.

Dick Taylor delivered by invitation an address last week to the Alabama Legislature. In It lie scored them soundly for their impotent militia bills, and asked them why they could not. imitate the example of that noble and hospitable State, Georgia. In Alabama the militia of one county could not be ordered into another, no matter how pressing was the emergency. If the people of Alabama were resolved to do only'what the law required, tiic e could result no good in calling them out. Every party could be whipped ia detail. In Georgia the Legislature called out alien masse,and the people responded pobly, they had been led within the boundaries of another Stale without murtimr or com- I plaint, and he had seen them on the battle-field fighting like veterans. In Ids sito. t speech lie was quite con;- | plimentary to Georgia and her people, and very se- j vere on the Alabama Legislature for their dilatory j conduct.” | Those who have ever been engaged in sneering at the Georgia Militia— “./oc Itrmen's Pets," as the men composing it have been maliciously termed, will not | like to see the .complimen , paid them by the gallant Taylok in the loregoing notice—especially that em braced in the remark—"he had seen them on the baltlc- fe/d /ighi tike cetera ii*. This will grate harshly on the oars of many of the n, skulkers themselves, who have attempted for political purposes andother personal con- eiderations. but especiuliy to disparage Governor Brown’s policy, to malign and ridicule tiie militia. Wo wonder t! the Richmond Sentinel ever beared or dreamed that the militia force of Georgia had been fighting .“like veterans." AVe think not, and would especially commend to its Editor the compliment paid to it tied to Georgia, by one whose information and person.-;! observation give him tin undoubted right to pass judgment upon it. ter extract The Latakia yields the same products uniformly, the Turkish generally more ammonia, Havana all these products.

Clark, of Missietiippi, biliary secretion and yellowness ot skin, quicken ing and then reducing the action of the heart. In young smokers it produces nausea. It is doubt ful whether all these effects are to he traced to the carbonic acid. If so, most of our mineral wa ters, ao’freely drank, are dreadful poisons, instead of being remedial agents as they are generally es teemed. • The empyreumatic substance seems to have lit tle effect except in giving the peculiar taste to to bacco smoke, aud afterawhile of making the breath of smokers unbearable. "Nicotine is rarely ever imbibed by the careful smoker,” says Dr. Rich ardson. . It affects only those who snt ke segats by holding them in the month, or dirty pipes of this work. At this time it stands in the light of a great na tional work, for it is. aud will bo needed to ration our troops in Virginia. It may and should be re garded, also, as a work of great importance to 8uuth Western Georgia, as being an additional ami important outlet to her immense surplus produc tions. To the city of Macon it is important as affor ding additional facilities for conducting the rap id increase of business, her capital and business tart and energy may rightfully expectin the fu ture. Whether regarded, therefore, as commended by interest or patriotism, there should be no delay in .are much less hurtful than cigars. The best pipe is a long clay pipe; next to this, the meerschatttn is the most wholesome. Dr. Richardson says the removing them from the State and putting them into 1 perfection of a pipe will be found iu a roemjscliaum the Confederate service. Gov. Clark has taken a j bowl, an amber mouth piece and a clay stem. All firm position in the matter, lie says he shall allow no such thing to be done. lie is perfectly right. Tin men are in the set vice fighting or ready to tight when opportunity offers. That is ail that can be asked of them. The Governor is doing ull in his pow er te pro tect the property and lives of the citizens of the com monwealth over which be presides. Under the cir- euinstances that is all that can be asked of him. Aud he will be very foolish indeed, if he allows the fighting men of his State to be tr.kc-n elsewhere when she is iu danger ol’being overrun and devastated. It affords us much pleasure to notice that other Gov ernors besides Gov. Brown are beginning to think that States have rights—and what is better, appears to be determined to maintain tiiose rights. The Jackson Miseissippian gives the annexed version of the difficulties referred to above : AVe learn tlnit the Secretary of War has demanded all State Troops between the ages of seventeen nod fifty be mustered in as reserved troops under com mand of Brig Gen. Brandon. Gov. C'laik we learn, lius refused to turn them over, and there will be con siderable skirmishing between tlie parties before the matter ends. If the demand of the Secretary of War is acceded to, a large number of agriculturist a will be thrown in the field lor three years, and we fear that such a policy would produce evil results for the State and for ti,e country. It is impossible for a man to serve two masters, and the State Troops enlisted and sworn in under the laws of the State must preserve their status until finally disbanded. We are willing to admit that the Government has lost a considerable number-of troops by the State organization, but a ma jority of these troops never could have been reached except for the State organization, aud they are now saturated with oily matter.

HOW TO SMOKE. The method of smoking makes all the difference in the world. Those who use the clean, long pipes of clay—as did our old Knickerbockers— feel only the effect of the gaseous bodies and the free carbon. Wooded pipes, and pipes with glass steins, are injurious. Uiga r s should never be smo ked to the end, otherwise they are more injurious than all. Dr. Richardson says they should be cast aside as soon as one-ltalf is smoked, and altyays smoked from a porous or absorbent tube.

They have since gone through the hard campagn from Atlanta to Savannah, and bore an honorable part in the battle of Iloney Hill. Probably no two regiments in service have suffered greater loss up on tho battlo field, within the same period of time. I have felt it duo to the other State Troops, that 1 should make this reference to their sufferings and privations, while I acknowledge, with pride, the noble conduct of the Militia of Troup.

M. My Dear Sir—Some knowledge of the wants cf the people of Virginia, and recent observation of tiie abundant supplies in South-western Georgia and Alabama, have led me lately to reflect closely upon the quickest and most practicable method attempts at pipes to coudense the oil have thus far-failed. Every smoker should be careful ot tbe mauuer in which be smokes. A short foul pipe is very unhealthy. A Timely Invention.—There is now in success* ful operation at the Confederate States Laboiato- ry, in Richmond, a machine capable of turning out three hundred and forty thousand percussion gun caps in eight hours, filling and pressing them. The tastest machine used in the JJnjted States, of which we have any Knowledge, Is Wright's pat ent, which only turns out thirty thousand in ten hours. The champion Confederate machine, or machines, as there are two of them—are capable of turning out an amount of work by three hands that formerly required one hundred and twenty operatives. The inventor is Captain Wesley N. Smith, commanding the Laboratory, whose skill, perseveiance aud ingenuity first called into exis- Thq result of my reflections,I am tempted, by the ; possibility of bs*ing of service, to submit ter your j consideration. . I The line of communication I propose is the Mill- ; edgevilie Railroad. The iron on this road is laid from Warrenton to j Mayfield. The load bed from Mayfield to Mill'-j edgevilie is graded—except a small quantity ot j rock near Culverton, in Hancock county. This; lock, Capt. Geo. Hazelb.urst, (now iu the Confed erate service, and stationed at Columbus,) long since informed me, will prove no obstacle, as it does not increase tbe grade so much as to prevent running over it. The distance from Mayfield to Milledgeville is 36 miles. The length of the Washington branch of the Georgia Railroad is... 18 miles. The length of the line of road from Milledgeville to Eatonton is 21 Total more lively and bustling than before the war. Trade is brisk, prices,enormously high and tend- ing opwaH.—'Lancaster S. C. Ledger. And it this class of men—these bomb-proof, stay at-home speculators, who want tbe war to continue, that they may pile up Confederate,prom- ises to pay. It is this class who assemble mass meetings and condemn such patriots as Hon. Mr. Boyce, and call upon them to resign their seats in Congress. It is these men who denounce every one in favor of pcaqg, aud do all in their cower to defeat any measure that will settle our existing difficulties honorably. If the government con tractors and office holders who are in favor of tho war—including high officials, Congress, and the rest of them—could be forced into the ranks, the war would end aj once. One Month's service, or less, would effi the business. These defeaters of peace negotiation, would become converts to tho doctrine. They are perfectly willing every body and every body’s wife’s relations should go to tbe war, as long as they themselves escape the hard ships of camp life. Again we say. pul the contractors and office holders who are in favor of the war, into the ranks and tbe country will be blessed with a speedy and honorable peace.—Chronicle S( Sentinel. These two portions of roads, comparatively use less will furnish iron aud superstructure; aud | j further, will facilitate progress by permitting track tence, at the inception of the war, the extensive j laying to commence at both ends.

It strikes me that a force of five hundred hands three hundred at rite Milledgeville, and two hun dred at tbe Mayfield end—would complete tbe work in a very short time. . Very truly yours. The CinciDnatti Commercial gives our authori ties a broad hint, when it says “the splendid army that has marched through the Souihe’rn Confeder acy from the Ohio to the Atlantic will not be struck with a palsy of idleness when it reaches the sea.” It we are wise, we will prepare to re sist any movement Snerman may make, and that speedily.
