To-day is celebrated by nil Christen dom, Protestant and Catholic ulike, in memory of the birth of Christ ; and on this day rises the echoing voice of glad ness, from the shores ol tin l Adriatic ami the frontiers of Poland, swelling with ineeasing magnitude, till from the dome of St. Paul's aid the spire of St. Peter’s, its reverberatji n is caught, no less from the crowded cities than from the far dis tant wilds of North and South America! Hailed by all classes of society with joy, it. is especially greeted by the weary and toil-worn working mad, as a period of relaxation to Ids tired frame, an [hour: of convivial festivity, freshened with sweet recollections and re-unions if the past, and a season when the longing soul encouraged by the joy fill present, may cast its penetrating glance into the far distant future, and gather thence bright bi ales from the radiant star of hope, fill ed with pregnant and prophetic delinia tionsof a promised land of cloudless day, and decked in all the full and fresh lus eiousness of dusters from the fruitful Yule of Kselmi ! If we scan the etymology of the teun "Christmas,” we see at once a compound of "Christ” and "Mass,’’ i. e., “Christ’s Mass,” or, emitting an "S,” ‘Christrnass,’ punting directly, like “Candlemas,” •'Michaelmas,” &C , to that age of super million, in which the Roman Church cole Wilted almost every event by a tion of which the priesthood called the “unbloody sacrifice of tho’niass.” From her has the day been handed down to us bv tradition ; and. though its genuine! authenticity is hidden in the myths and uncertainties -of the past, and the obser vance of no such day is enjoined in ihe | Saen and Records, yet, is not the advent of the Savior an appropriate subject ol rejoicing? and in what way is that duty weakened by the eonceiitaneous celebra tion of the event on a particular day by those who agree in such a belief, provi- j ded they bring no one’s “neck tinder a voke of bondage” thereto? Again, wbat period more appropriate-than the close of the year for such a celebration ? what one more typical of the sunset of the ceremonial and typical dispensation, and of the bursting glories of the rising ‘ Sun of Righteousness,” of which it is said, “Behold 1 make all things new, thus annually heralding “the your of gi spel jubilee ?” Tl.e d..y, however, is not devoid of mournful reinbaseuces. Looking back upon ti e blood stained records of Calva ly, we seem to hear tl ating upon the breeze, tire solemn wolds— ■•H0i,,.;.! ilir MiflerinvSav ior go, To tail Geibw-naae. Recalling to mind the seenea preceding and attending the memorable day on which the .Savior of man, the only begot ten Son of Go I, in jjpHWlment of the pledges of Ilia birth, Mid the sufferings of Ilia life, yielded up Ilia pure spirit, while his body hang suspended -on the cross ns an offering, an intercession for sinners 1 Such was the bloody insigna of tin* conquest won by Him whose biith we celebrated with bstivities. The manner in which Christmas is cel ebrated in many places, especially in America, lias never struck our mind, oi suited our fancy, as Rung correct. To .ail view it seems l ight that the; day he kept.as a thanksgiving—that our hous es of worship should be opened and our j hearts ho raised in thankfulness to God | —that instead of licentious mirth, squibs, rockets crackers, noise and contusion, ! our saered temples should resound w ith i ■ ‘I.o the Prince of Peace, the Lamb of Ge‘l has come !” Beit it is not for us to change the or der of festivities upon this time honored event. To command the earth to cease its revolutions, and the sun to refuse to give ligljt and heat, would boas easy undertaking—with about the same pros poet of success, ns to change the hilarity and amusement of the people, during the Christmas holidays, to tiiatol prayer and thanksgiving to the King of Kings, for the sacrifice lie made on this day iu pre senting His duly begotten Son foi the redemption of a lost and* drepraved world. In conclusion, wo wisli all our read j ersin the true acceptation of the term, “A j Merry Christmas,” —contentment of heart and fill I neat of basket and store—bless ings for time and hopes and p omi-es for, eternity—smiles of joy—“a feast oi rea son and flow of Soul.” And finally, that Santa Claiiz, on Christmas eve, filled the stockings of the “little (elks” wilii “five days journey” of all things good and sweet imaginable—and that Hie “bi's folks” may be forgiving, discreet, gener ous and wise. • OUR NEW YEAR GREETING. This is the last issue of our paper for the current year. A sincere desire for the good es the whole community—a sin cere desire to see all our business men prosperous, to see our lands cultivated, to have Southern Georgia known and appreciated, have I ecu the ruling ideas of this paper for 1 lie past year. In this, we may have* said and done many things for which we have been de nounced and condemned ; we may have pursued a course, as a journalist, that seemed to others to be wanting in a strict regard to llie “ proprieties”— we may have hit some men some hard blows ; lint now, at the close of the year, amid the solemn memories of the past,—lhirjj clustering thronging, come with that year, new resolves, new hopes, and God | help ur ! new forgiveness, and the hand j us fellowship to all men. j But to how many homes will this New j Year bring hack the saddening roe lice lions of the “Lost Cause”: of the time j when the sail eyed women of the South looked, and looked in vain, for the com | ing of the manly form, to give him a “New Year’s greeting;” of that bis-t I gloomy New Year, when even the most ! sanguine among us knew of our defeat ; ! when gloom, and sorrow, and dcsMa | lion, and wailing, hung like a funera' j pall over the South ! li is good that we : remember even all these things, and as we bow with chastened, humble hearts to the decrees of Proviih me— ns we j draw close around the blazing tire, as Iwe feel our hearts touched and softened iby the gentle influence of the hour, 0, I remember the “ Unknown • Dead"—by lonely, dark marshes, >it deep, rocky dells, in the hidden recesses of lonely, ghostly pines, they lie to-day, where they fell: “ O. Profiler, they ilieit for yon and roe. j (I. Sister, they died lor III' and vow." [ Amid the solemn memories of the new year, all honor to the “Unknown He roes” of the South. Enough ; our peo ple will never forget those who did their duty. With the New Year should come a new determination among us all, to build up our shattered fortunes ; to work zeal onsly, assiduously’, to repair the ravages of war ; to invite immigration, to show to the world, that if*we did have negroes to work for us, who— “ Were lire in Winter, shade in Summer,” we can work like all inen of the Anglo Saxon race ; and we shall work—work with a determination to make the South all that her boundless resources can make Tier Then, a happy new year to all our patrons, plenty of money, and all prosperity to (hem, one and all ! The Senate of«A!al>ama expelled its dark page for stealing a pair of shoes. This was wrong. Tln> little nigger was nn rely following the example ot grave Senators. No News. —Our exchanges are com pletely barren of all news of general in , teresl, and consequently we find it im possible to present our usual variety of items. i j UONUKEAS AND •GKthKGIA. It is now believed, by those in position to be .well informed in reference to the Raiding Radicals in Congress, that Gov j Bullock will utterly fail iu his base es | forts to have Georgia remanded hack | to military rule and scalawag influence. lie represents a veryjsmnll faction, corn | posed of unprincipled adventurers, who! have no Influence at Washington or elsewherepaiid even the most violent i and nitrn Radical Congressmen are satis lied a compliance with the demands of j this hold bad man, would seriously in i jure the present dominant party. Brown, Joshua Hill, Miller, nod other U-aiVrig Republicans ol Georgia, oppose Bullock’s extreme measures—are indignant at the highhanded outrage he Berks to per petrate— and boldly declare that ibe pnwsi of Congress over this State was concluded when the Constitution was ac . copied as republican, and our represen tatives admitted to the r scats. Ii is true that Mr Edmunds introduc ed a bill, on ti e 1 Bt.ii, repealing the ad— ! mission of Georgia,— the preamble of ! which states, that the Legislature v dia led the Fourteenth Amendment, in not purging itself of members ineligible un der said article, and violated, both the Constitution and principles upon' which reconslruction was founded in expelling negroes; but we have strong assuran ces that this E 'mm ds billyunriot be car lied, in either House or Senate. We feel satisfied that although Bill ock and the hounds who follow his footsteps rnavj succeed in creating sonic Congressional j excitement, with, reference to_ Georgia, no further legislation will be had as to, reconstruction. ('resident John son's Snceestion ns to (lie Notional Debt. The following is the passage itCl’resi dent Johnson's, message which is con structed as a proposition to repudiate ! the Ration*! debt: Our national credit should be sacred- i ly observed. But making provision foi our creditors vve should not forget what | is dm; to the, masses of the people. It i nitty he assumed that the holders of our j securities have already received upon their bonds a largtr amount than their original investment, measured by a gold j standard. Upon this statement of facts it would seem but just and equitable that the six per cent interest now paid by Ihe government should be applied to the re duction of the principal in the semi an nual installments, which in sixteen years and eight .months would liquidate the entire national debt. Six per cent in goM would at the present rates be equal to nine per cent, in currency and equiva lent to the payment ol tiie debt one and a halftime in a fraction less than seven teen years. This in connection witdi the other adVa ntages derived from their investment, would afford to ti e public creditois a fair and libera! compensa tion for the use of their capital and with this they should he salisfisd. The les sons of the past admonish tjic lender that it is not well to he over anxious in exae ; ting from the I orrower rigid compliance with the letter of .the hi ml. Candor-compels us to admit, that the foregoing does foreshadow the advocacy of repudiation of the national debt by ('resident Johnson, llis language will not admit of any other construction. He distinctly declares that the goverumeyt should repudiate the interest or the / rin ci/ial. * At a general thing, onr face is turned against anything that smacks of repudm tion of-Aonestobligations ; but this im mense debt of the government was con ceived in fraud, and piled mountain hi It by wholesale robbery and rascality; i. was created by a legion of lunatics, in their mad and reckless devastation ot the South and murder her children ; it was accumulated in the suicidal policy of converting the prosperous and pro ductive South into one vast cemetery ; it was increased to collossd proportions in the dibit to overthrow liberty and in uugmate despotism ; to enrich lunik rupts, protect thieves, to support prosti tutes, to suborn the press, the pulpit the rostrum, to make vilbans rcspcctabl--, and elevate the negro above the white man ;—uu I, therefore, wo are not only favorable to the repudiation of the inter ests or principal hot decidedly impressed with the belie', that Justice and Right, demand that both principal and interest should he repudiated at once The people cannot much longer stand up under the heavy burthen of taxation, ; which this outiageons debt of blood and ruin entails upon them. It is the source of -ill the suffering and woe which the honest yeomenry of the land now endure. Every year it is— "A pound of flush cut out nearest tlio heart ”’ And come weal, come woe, come blood, • fire, and the sword, they will, ere long, ■ shake off the dark incubus ! A DISGUSTED AFRICAN. It would appear from the Herald dis patches that Menard, ti e colored Repre sentative from Louisiana, has not yet received his “stideate”—suspects foul play and is in bad hutnor, genera ly.— j The Herald says: Menard the colored Congressman from -Louisiana, suvs he wrote to Governor Wurmoth ibr his certificate i vi r two weeks ago, and has received u.> answer yet. He is inclined to believe that War moth wants to play him a trick, and by i wiihLoiditig his ceitiiicalu lead the Coin- mitti'p mi KI- rtinns to stippom; that the ’ (juvci hnr til tins rituti-' has his doubts a-| liont till- legal tyvf flis (-lection.

MATCRK 1 N'THKMKNT OF A I.ADT—HEART- | RKXIUNO ItPiAlt.s. A New Orleans correspondent of the 1 incinnati Enquirer given tlie following particulars ot a most distressing affair : I have just heard of the rn-.st heart rending, and yet unavoidable affair which it Ims ever treen my lot to record. It is nothing more nor less than the j frightful tentity ofbitng buried alive.— j A most estimable lady, Mrs. Crane, whose husband is a bookkeeper in Flem ing & Cn.'s drug store in ibis city, died suddenly last July of what was pronounc ed sunstroke. She was a school teach er in one of our most p »pu ar schools. In the afternoon, .'liter sell ol was out. she went to visit a neighbor on Felicity! Rticet and just as she entered her triends house she fell insensible and expired, to all ajqtearances, in about two udanlcs, the doctor pronouncing it sunstroke.— Her body was interred the next day at ten o’clock and her mother »n old laiiv about fifty years o! age and her husband and one little sou went home almost broken heaited and have since been near ly distracted, being at times unable tn| sleep, and in fact leading a most miser able and disconsolate Ittc; and well they might, ns the sequel will show had they known what they hud done. Well, one night last week the motlioi alter passing a most di dressing day. fell asleep late at night and dreamed that her daughter had been buried alive. She jumped up in a frantic statu and rushed to her son in law’s chamber crying, “My daugln r is buried alive ! Oh mv daughter is bn vied alive ! What shall Ido ?’’ To sleep any more that night was out id'the question; she still crying that her daiigli ter was buried alive, whenever her son in-law would try to quiet lo t'. Atlcgth the proposition was made to have the body disinterred, the grave was opened and the coffin taised. Oh. what a liorii Ide sight me: their view ! Ren is pow erless to portray the scene which folh-w ed. The body which had been placi din a metalie coffin, was turned over,the glass covering the face was broken t atoms, the ends of Iter fingers being beaten and battered all to pieces, liei’ hair torn out in handbills and the shroud torn in many p’aces—all presenting the appearance of one of the most desperai-- struggles lo live herself from the ten i tile misfortune, it any of our readers could have seen the rela'ives ol this un fortunate lady, when this condition ol what they supposed was the perpetual silent tomb had been brought to liglit. it would have forced a tear from the nnst stolid anti adamantine lieu t. Georgia reconstruct inn hills are bei outing plentiful in Congress. Pom eioy has one providing for the reassemb ling of the Constitutional Convention ol this State within thirty days, to con struct an organic law to define more cleat ly the rights of "colored citi/e-ns" j distinctly providing that such persons are dig ble to hold office. We do not believe it will be adopted. £agr- It is proposed to hold a conven ! lion of the Ordinaries, Clerks and Sheriff’s if the State, at Alia ita, On ,mi the loth - January next, to suggest to the Logis i 'attire changes in the fee bill, and other j matters connected with their several I'flfb'Os. We think the move is a good l.oie and hope there will be a full atten dance. The New Volk lleWvhl suggests tin ; cnt : re abolition of the present posta l sys | tern of tlie I’nited Stittos—post-offices, |si*t-miisto is, clerks, p st routes, add thu whole iu ichiiiery pertaining thereto, and the substitution id tlie telegraph wires in lie thereof. That people, in stead of going to the post . (Dee with the r h tti—s take them to the teb-grapn office and have them dispatched. It is argued that the governim nt can do this cheaper than by the present plan ol hir ing railroads, steamboats, stages and mail riders Let all other packages l>e taken charge of by express companies. Here is a pr -giessive idea lor you ! Mirder Mark Easy.—The court in New Albany, I udtana, has refused to enter tain tin* eh irge of imr.ler in the first de gree against Mrs. Morton, whosiot imu Moore dead in his tracks. Site alleges ■ that sin* killed M core because be find written letters to In-r containing instil ting propositions. She dives not produce the letters however. If site did, we do not see what defence they would form f>r murder. A- cording to this ruling of an Indiana court, all a woman who wish es to take the life of a man, lias to do is to decoy him into a private room, anil after shooting him dead say he insulted her. “Murib r made easy is the doctrine ail over tne United States at present.— Xar York Express.
