JUDGE CREECH’S WITHDRAWAL.
The following brief note is sufficiently
explanatory of itself:
Quitman, Ga., Dec. 22, 18(58.
F. R. Fti.nxs, Esq. :
Dear Sir—l see in your last issue of
the Banner, that my friends have an
nounced me a candidate for the office of
Clerk of the Superior Court. Allow mu,

account of business requirements it
would be impossible for mo to serve if

CHRISTMAS.
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 !

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 !

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 !

that sin* killed M core because be find

the letters however. If site did, we do
not see what defence they would form

an Indiana court, all a woman who wish

to decoy him into a private room, anil
after shooting him dead say he insulted
