Having In -i'll employed by the propri
etors of the Banwek, as principal in the
editorial department, it becomes neces
sary. according to usage, for us to make
our Ih<w to our readers. But bow to
mak" the bow that is the trouble. Our
best friends, who are disjtosed to give us
full credit for every excellence we pos
sess. (and perhaps for some that we
could not justly claim) have never even
intimated that we could make a graceful
bow. \ of ours, (who, by the
w iv. is himself an editor,) could always
introduce himself to bis company, and
enter their presence with as much ease
and politeness as Lord Chesterfield him
self, hut, we fear he monopolized all the
grace and elegance of our family connec
tion, ami thus *we were out, cut from
having any of these very desirable ac
complishments. We will therefore have
to blunder into your presence as best
we may, and console ourself with this
reflection : that however awkward you
may find this introduction to be, it, is not
half so awkward (as some of you know,)
as the editor himself would appear, wore
he (sirsonally present before you.
We will state, as the basis of our po
litical faith, that we believe in the old
fashioned Democratic doctrine of State
sovereignty; strict construction "of the
Constitution; economical and honest ad
ministration of the Government. Against
these old-fashioned principles, the Rad
ical party has arrayed itself with bitter
hostility. It has sought to crush out
State sovereignty, by Federal legislation,
backed by military power. So far from
a strict construction of the Constitution,
it has either ignored that onco sacred
document altogether, or openly trampled
it under foot. If the word economical is
found in their political dictionary at all,
it must Is- printed in such small letters
as not to lie disecrimble to the naked
eye. And instead of honesty being a
prerequisite to office, in some instances,
it would be an insuperable objection,
since they Sometimes tied it necessary to
have dishonest officials, in order to sus
tain dishonest legislation, and enforce il
legal agd oppressive edicts. As long as
this bill of indictment stands against the
Kadieal party, sustained as it is by am
ple testimony, you may always mark our
name for the State. And we shall use
our best ifforts to enlighten the public
as to the enormity of their crimes, and
thus hope to deprive them of the power
to injure the country. True, it may seem
almost Utopian to hope to bring the
country back to the wholesome doctrines
here laid down, for in these latter days,
the Democratic party itself, from mo
tives of policy, or necessity, as under
stood by its leaders, has sometimes held
them in abeyance. .Still, we are per
suaded that deep down in the hearts of
ail true Democrats, the love of these
principles is still cherished; and even if
we never succeed in re-establishing them
in all their strength and purity, as taught
by the great Jefferson, yet the nearer we
can approach • thereto, the bettor will be
our government and the more prosper
ous our p- uple.
JVa.cc, good order, and sound morality
will always be Fueuttragt'd; but we do
ivit propose t" .iv te any particular
religious sect oi fat ty. Whatever may
be our own peculiar views of religious
dis'trines, we shall not. intrude them op
en our leaders, but shall leave it to the
various religious papers of the different
and uuuiiualiolus to advocate their own par
ticular tenets ttud practice.
One great object that we ever intend |
te keep before us will be. to develop, as
for as practicable, the material prosperi
ty of nnr country, and more especially
the immediate section in which we are
located. We moved to Thomas county
in tin early part of 1854. and lived there
tielween two and three years, arid in the
slimmer of lr-57. we moved to Lowndes,
ttuil in January, 1859, soon after Brooks
mill:" "a* formed out of the last por
tions of Thomas and Lowndes—thus
making a county superior to either—we
moved lo Brooks, and located in the
neigh'orfnsid of Quitman —that waste
U*. Hera v.c have lived ever since, and
have Sion the tall pines that waved over
the laud upon which now stands our
fl, mashing town, gradually give way to
11 laid out -troots, beautiful shade
...... -t» tat r ilJe i .. and large and
j commodious stores. Wh it little prop
j orty we own inhere; our business is here;
I and nine-tenths of our friends and ac
j quaintaneeg live in this region. The
- prosperity and happiness of this section
}is most intimately connected with our
i own success and future welfare. We
j shall, therefore, use our best efforts to
i promote the interests of our people,
j Agriculture should be especially eneour
| aged, for in this country it is the fouii-
I dation of all prosperity. Manufactures
j and commerce should be promoted; edu
cation should be fostered, and our social
interest should not be neglected. So
far as if may be in our power, we shall
seek to advance the prosperity of our
(ample in all those respects.
We are about embarking in anew and
untried business. We never claimed
any peculiar talent or fitness for the
position of editor; and what success
awaits us, remains to be seen. We have
not the vanity to suppose we can please
everybody. Wc shall, in all probability,
sometimes err. We have not been infal
lable in the past, and cannot hope to be
so in the future. All that we can prom
ise is, to bring to the discharge of our
duties an honest intention to do right,
and to request ofpiur readers, if wc some
times make a mistake, that, they will ex
ercise a little charity, aiftl not judge us
too harshly.
We shall also ask the kind consider
ation of our brethren of the press. Be
ing a tyro in the business, wo may not
understand, at first, all the courtesies
and amenities of the profession. Should
wc stray a little, bo merciful—deal gently
with the erring, and lead us kindly to
the right. We may differ sometimes,
and sueli differences may provoke dis
cussion; but we propose to conduct such
discussions, should they arise, upon
high-toned, gentlemanly principles, and
never condescend to personalities or
abusive language.
Now, kind reader, wo have candidly
told you our programme. If you ap
prove of it, encourage our enterprise
by subscribing, and asking your friends
and acquaintances to do the same.
The ■till of July Then and Mow.
In our boyhood’s days, in the good
old county of Liberty, the 4th of July
was the grandest day of the year. As
soon as the coming dawn began to tinge
the Eastern horizon, the thunder of can
non proclaimed the approach of the Na
tion’s birthday. The old Liberty Inde
pendent Troops were masters of ceremo
nies, and uniting with the patriotic citi
zens of (lie country, made it their business
to see that the glorious 4th was properly
celebrated. On such occasions, the cit
izens, as far as practicable, and the
troopers, assembled either in the old
town of Suubury, iniiiqplio&ely on the
coast, at North Newport, which was
considered about half way ground, or
in Walthourville, which was out in the
woods. Then wc had booming of can
non, and the sound of the bugle. Then
we had cavalry parade, fine horses, richly
eomparisoned troopers in showy uniform,
splendid horsemanship, and wonderful
skill, both with sword and pistol.
Next came tho reading of the Declara
tion of Independence, followed by an el
oquent speech, in which the orator por
trayed, in glowing colors, the praises of
our forefathers, the glory of our then
free and independent country, and the
bright prospects that loomed up before
us in the distant future. After that, all
adjourned to a magnificent dinner, and
the good cheer was enlivened by appro
priate toasts and patriotic songs. And
at the close of the day, each returned
home, feeling thankful that he had been
enabled once more to celebrate the birth
day of Independence, and proud of his
country, and that he could say, “I am an
American citizen.”
But alius ! where is the patriotic cut hu- j
siasm on the 4th of July in these latter
days? Wore Jefferson, Henry, Wash
ington and their compatriots but dream
ers, and is liberty a inythe, and indepen-,
deuce a phantom ? No; they were re- |
alities in the past ; glorious, but transient, j
The 4tli of July used to bring fresh to
our minds the deliverance of our fathers
from British oppression, and in our then
happy condition, it was natural that wo
should giv.o expression to our patriotic
joy. But now a more onerous yoke is
placed upon our nocks than that sought
to be forged by George the 3d. Kadieal
tyranny and misrule have bound heavier
burdens upon us than those complained
of by our Revolutionary ancestors. \\ e
j may inhabit the same territory we for- 1
| morly did, but we breathe not the air of
| freedom —the atmosphere is tainted with
I Federal interference. The great pulse
! of the nation throbs not with the feeling
lof independence, but beats only in re-
I Spouse to the dictates of centralized pow
| er. So far as the general government is
| concerned, we are strangers in our own
; land. The glowing memories of the
I past, recalled by the 4th of July, only
! make us sad in the realization of the
i gloom 'of the present. We fool like the
| Jews, when required to sing one of the
! songs of Zion, by the river of Babylon. —
i How shall we sing the songs of freedom
in a land of oppression r If. perchance,
j however, the doctrines of Jefferson and
i his compatriots should again re-animate
1 this great heart of the Republic, and
I through all its ramifications, constitu
tional government should be guaranteed
to our people, gladly would they snatch
their harps from the willows, and again
the joyful songs of freedom and inde
pendence would echo and reverberate
along the hills and dales, mountains and
valleys of our Southern home.
Examination at the (Irnovcrrillc
Academy ('apt. Hammond’#
Speech.
| On last Friday we attended the exami-
I nation at the Groovervillo Academy,
j When we arrived, tho large building was
already filled with intelligent ladies and
gentlemen, listening to the examination,
conducted by the excellent teacher, Mr.
J. J. Jenkins. We were soon satisfied
that we were witnessing a thorough
‘'bona fide” examination, and not merely
j recitation fixed up for the occasion, in or
! der that the scholars might show off be
fore the people. Mr. Jenkins seemed
perfectly at home in the school room,
and his searching questions and nice dis
criminations showed that he required his
pupils t o understand what he professed
to teach - from the intricacies of Latin
and the other higher Mathematics, down
to the first principles of the English lan
guage. Nor did he propose to monopo
lize the business by asking questions, but
invited— yea, urged— the audience to
propound any question to the classes,
from any part of the book they had gone
over. And whenever he could get two
or three gentlemen to consent to take
charge of any class, he retired from tho
examination himself, and left the class
entirely in the hands of these out-siders.
But it was all the same, the scholars
responded as promptly and correctly to
questions propounded by strangers, with
whom they were not acquainted, as to
those asked by the teacher, whom they
were accustomed to see every day. We
do not pretend that there was absolutely
no missing. Such a thing was not. to be
expected-—hardly to be desired. But,
considering the rigidness of the exami
nation, the scholars did great credit to
their teacher and themselves. Wo think
some of the girls (and perhaps some of
the hoys, too, but we were always partial
to girls,) showed t*ey were fully compe
tent to give some of us Editors valuable
hints,, as to spelling, puntnation, gram
mar, and various other little matters that,
are considered necessary to excellence in
English composition. (Now, girls,don’t,
after our compliment, be so unkind as to
expose our erroks in this editorial.) We
might, name some of the most proficient,
among the scholars, hut, really, wo knew
the names of but, few. Master 11 minikin
Brandon, we think, showed as much
sprightliness as any of the boys wo can
now recollect,, and we are satisfied that
Miss Ramsey cannot be beat, cither by
hoy or girl, whet her the name was recol
lected or not. We like to have forgot ten
one important feature —the scholars were
required to speak out so that their an
swers could be heard by the whole audi
ence, whether they were right or wrong.
About, one o’clock, we adjourned for
dinner, and there was 'displayed such a
bountiful supply of good things as great
ly to astonish some of us who had not
eaten away from home for some time
jiast, Invitations to dinner wore numer-
ous, and we were sorry we could not
string them out for a week or two, so
that we could “fare sumptuously every
day, at least for a while. Then, they
were so kind and polite in handing round
the, delicacies, and insisting that wc should
eat more. We were sorry that wo could
not accommodate them by eat ing up eve
rything, but it was far beyond our capac
ity. Hut tee did our best, and we hud a
trusting companion who seconded our
efforts in this direction, most vigorously.
We came to the conclusion that the
Groovervillo neighborhood is hard to
beat, anyway.
Lastly, came the speech of Capt. Wm.
M. Hammond, of Thomasville. And if i
wo had time and space, we would be glad
to give a full synopsis of his most, excel
lent address, We hod formed a high
estimate of the Captain’s literary attain
ments, but his effort, surpassed our most
sanguine expectations. His subject,
“The elements of success or failure,” was
well chosen—ably discussed -admirably
illustrated—and beautifully adorned with
the flowers of rhetoric. While the most
of the speech was designed to be "on the
serious order, rat her than humorou#, yet
there were occasionally flashes of wit,
and some capital hits. Added to all this,
it was well delivered, and taken as a
whole, would have been regarded as a
success, if delivered as tho commence
ment speech at any college in the State.
There was but one mistake in the whole
day’s business, and that was in trying to
crowd too many good things in too short
a space of time. It confined the audi
ence too closely, and the weather being
hot, the house densely crowded, and
many living at a distance being anxious
! to start home, some were a little restless.

Turpentine Furm*ill Southern
Georgia.
Mnasits. Editobs : —We have in Brooks
county, large area of pine forests, which
are as so much dead capital. These for
i cuts can easily be utilized, and made a
source of great profit. A recent visit to
a large turpentine farm, nearTobeauville,
Ware county, Georgia, has given us an
insight, into the operations in the “tur
pentine business,” the result of which
we propose to give you, through the col
umns of your paper.
The subdivision of a turpentine farm
is styled “a crop,” which means ten thou
sand “boxes,” and extends over an area
of from one hundred to one hundred
j and seventy-five acres. The first labor
to be done, is the cutting of the boxes in
the (lines, in which to catch the turpen
tine, and these boxes hold usually one
quart. One hundred boxes per day is
the task of experienced axemen. The
next steji is “cornering,” that is, cutting
out the sides of the upper surface made
in cutting the box —so as to scorify the
tree the entire width of the box. This is
a short job—about one-fourth as long as
cutting the boxes. The boxes may be
cut at any time after the sap goes down
(usually the first of Novemls-r,) and bc
fore it commences to rise, (usually about
the middle of March.)
When the sap commences to rise in
tho tree, they are “chipped,” that is, a
part of the sap of the tree, , of an inch
deep, and } of an inch wide, is cut from
tho tree immediately above, and the
lengUi of the box. This * “chi]-ping” is
required to be done once each week; and
requires the labor of one band to the
“crop,” or ten thousand boxes. The in
strumeut used is quite simple, and will
cost no more than an axe. The furpen
tine is dipped from these boxes once in
three weeks —sometimes once each two
weeks. Barrels are distributed through
the woods for holding the crude material,
and the dipper is supplied with a bucket,
and a flat diamond-shaped piece of iron,
fixed to a wooden handle, which is about
two anil a half feet long. One hand will
“dip” from two to three “crops.”
Now, suppose a man were to undertake
to make two crops; that he commences
with raw laborers; and that they will cut
only 75 boxes a day, on an average. This
will require the kibor of ton hands for
one month, say $300; “cornering,” *75.00;
two hands to “chip” for 7 i months, 8470;
one hand to dip 8235; 000 barrels, («
30 ct«, $180; a yoke of oxen, cart and
boy,.to do the hauling, 82t>0; implements
of labor SIO.OO, and we have an aggre
gate of 5i470.00, total expenses in mak
ing two crops. The return for this ex
pense at tho smallest yield, and the low -
est price for the crude material, is 600
barrels, (n 33.00 per bbl, say SIBOO
leaving $330, or a little more than 22 per
cent, profit on the invest im nt. This cal
culation excludes the cost, of the land, as
we have these forests on our hands. But
suppose wc can got labor at 320 per
month, and arc blessed with an average
yield, say 450 bbls to the crop other ex
penses remaining the same, and the ex
pense will only foot up 811 10. While
the gross receipts will amount to 32700,
and leave 375.00, or about 145 per cent,
profit on the investment, even should la
bor cost as much as was estimated in our
first calculation, 330 per mouth and tho
result of an average yield will show near
ly or quite 100 per cent, profit..
Now, sir, does any planter in Southern
Georgia realize t wenty per cent, profit on
the cost of making a crop of cot ton, ex
cluding the price of thF land ? This is a
practical question for the planters, which
it is well they should solve.
We are informed that tlvis business
does not injure the trees for ant other ]
purpose. Wc are also informed that the ;
pine trees of t iip section are peculiarly
adapted to the turpentine business, hav
ing much thicker sap rind than in many
other sections—especially than those east j
of the Allapalia, where the Carolinians
arc making the turpentine business n
success. This fact has been developed
in the getting of cross-ties for our Rail ;
Road.
It has been truly said, “thereis no rose j
but has its thorn;” nor is the turpentine
business an exception. The danger of
this business is from fire, which may be
guarded against by raking around the
trees, and burning the woods at the prop
er season of the year, Ordinarily, this
precaution will give eolnpuritive security.
In conclusion, allow me to suggest,
that if a sufficient number of our citizens
will embark in this to carry
on as many as 15 crops, we have the as
surance that the capital will be brought
I here to pay the cash for all the crude
j material, as delivered; also that a still
I will be put up at this point. The exper
; irnent can be at but little or no hazzard,
j and which, we feel, will result in great
I profit to our people. We have worn the
; shackles of poverty long enough. Let
| us throw them off, and upon this “flood
| tide,” ride on, if not to fortune, to at least
financial independence. Our zeal for the
I welfare of our adopted section runst lie
| our apology for the length of this article.

That Favorite Home Remedy,
PAIM-KSLLER,
Has been before the public over thiktv wars,
and probably has n Wider and better reputation
limit any olhet proprietary medicine of the pres
ent day. At this period there are but few nn
acquainted with the merits of the P.ux Km.i.kr:
tint, while some extol it as a liniment, they know
but little es its power in easing pain when taken
internally: while others use it internally with
great success, but arc equally ignorant of its
trailing virtues when applied externally. It is
sufficient evidence of its virtues as a standard
medicine to know that it is now used in all parts
of the world, atul that its sale is constantly in
creasing. No curative agent has had such a
w ide spread sale or given such tfniversal satis
faction.
Davis' Paix-KiU.kr !? a purely vegetable
cr.nponnd. prepared from the best tin! purest
materials, and with a care that insures the most
perfect uniformity in the medicine; and while it
i is a most effective remedy tor pain, it is a per
i feetly sate medicine, even in the most unskillful
j hands.
} It is eminently a rawn.v Mkdicixe; aod by be
; ing kept ready for immediate resort, will save
| many an hour Os suffering, and many a dollar in
, time and doctor's bills,
i After over thirty years trial, it is still receiv
| ing the most unqualified testimonials to its vir
j tues, from persons of the highest character and
responsibility. Eminent physicians commend
| u as a most effectual preparation for the extiac
| tion of pain. It is not only the best remedy ev
er known tor Bruises. Cuts, Burns, Ac., but for
Dysentery, or Cholera, or any sort of bowel
complain;, it is a remedy unsurpassed for effi
ciency, and rapidity of action. In the great
citiesof India, and other hot 'climates, it has be
come the standard medicine for ail such com
plaints, as well as for Dyspepsia, Liver Com
plaint". and all other kindred disorders. For
Coughs and Colds, Canker, Asthma, oud Rheu
matic difficulties, it has been proved by the most
abundant and convincing testimony to be an in
valuable medicine.
We would caution the public against all imita
tions of car preparation, either in name or style
of putting up.
