WHITE & McINTOsII, Proprietors. VOLUME TUI. IHisccllancats. v vJ LETTER FROM THE COEXTIi V. Mb. Editor : I did intend to give you a few though 1 ® on the late Sabbath School celebration at Mount Zion Camp Ground, but have concluded that your self being present on that very pleasant occasion, you or someone else who was present also, had preceded me in the matter, and your readers had,' ere this seen the communication. It may suffice, therefore, for me to say, not being a citi zen of Brooks County myself, that it was well done. The turn out by the different Schools was very fine for the country, the speeches were good, the dinner was good and bountiful, but the singing lacked “en thusiasm.” The voices were good enough, hut the “time” was badly kept. Not being a singing man ourself, we should not perhaps say so much. The country affords but very little news of interest, now that the crops are all made, and there is no speculation about the catterpillar, rust Ac. At pres ent there is more said in all circles about “Imperialism” than on any other subject. In many respects Gen. Grant is looked upon by the American people as a pot ra tions phenomenon. Beyond this we see nothing as yet to warrant a suspicion. Should lie accept a nomination, however, for a third term, it will look like lie is ready to become a < la-sar or a Cromwell, and fu;t’lermore, the party making the nomination will either be ready or get ting ready for “Imperialism.” If we ev er have an empire, it will tie because the majority of the r people have become 1 1 red of republicanism, and want a change. Should Grant ever become emperor, it will be the fault of the people not hi Heretofore a large standing army has been the first requisite to es tablishing of an empire; but in this case, should we he tending in that direction, the thing will be done without the fire ot gun'. According to so.no newspaper, correspondents, Mr. A. 11. Stephens is made to say some things ot» the subject. He does not think there is any danger of imperialism, but there is of consolidation. If we are ever consolidated as a nation, will we not, as a matter of fact, become a monarchy, governed by an imperial h ;el ; whether be be king or emperor? For our part weean but hope that Mr. Ste phens is misrepresent'd, am! "ill not be lieve the statement without confirmation- Some say that Gen. Grant wou! 1 have used the opportunity at th ■ close of the war, before the army was disband- and, but these should remember that at that time neither army or public opinion would have sustained such an enterprise. But now we fear the country has become quite demoralized enough to submit to a change in the form of the government, and whenever that time does come, if it has not already come, the man will ap pear, whether it bo Grant or someone else. Your correspondent was present for a few hours on lust Sabbath at the “district conference’’ of the colored methodist church, convened at the camp ground. There was great disappointment, and disaffection growing out of the fact that they did not have a live colored Bishop. We heard tw’o sermons and as many ex hortations and prayers.and was well pleas ed with the efforts, all things considered- We were very sorry to notice that many of the younger portion of the congregation followed the example so long set, and so faithfully carried out by tho white people —that of standing on the seats. We did hope that the negroes would have better manners. And now that the negroes did so, we hope the white people will not fol low so bad an example. Berriell.

Moultrie, Ga., Sept. 11, 1873. ; Editors Q'litman Barrier: While in Worth county a few days ago, i I had the pleasure of meeting, at the house of a much esteemed friend of mine, a company of “good fellows,” and among the number John C. who, as usual with him, was “full of life,” and in “merry mood.” Among the subjects of conver sation tobacco and how we came not to use it came up. After a good many had told their experience either in using or i not using, John C. gave us his, which was, as near as we can recollect, as fol | lows : “When,” said he, “I was quite a | small chap, it entered my head that it I would be very nice and manly to chew ! tobacco, and knowing that father and mother would never consent to it, I took particular care to not mention my inten tion. There was a little store near our house, and the proprietor was very liber al to us small boy's, and one day gave me a little “square” "of tobacco for doing him a small favor; and I thought this a favorable time to commence my tobacco education; so I took a good big mouthful of the weed, and commenced to chew in earnest. (I forgot to mention that it was near the twiddle of June, and 1 had a few moments before taken a large bait of blackberries.) I chewed and spit finely for a time, but directly my lips some how became too v.i ak to throw off the spittle, and I had to take my hand and pull the roapy stuff from my mouth. I soon felt I must get away from that place, for 1 would have to east upnc- mints. I made my way for home, and about half way up to the house was a large shade tree, I stopped there, and my stomach turned wrong side out. I never sa w such a pile of blackberries from any one’s stomach be fore or sine-. I east up accounts for about half an hour when mother discov ered me and came to my assistance. She carried me to the house, and sent after the doctor under the impression that 1 had eaten something poisonous. He gave me a whole lot of nasty tasted stuff, which I swallowed and said nothing of the tobacco, for 1 know it would not do to tell, rat b ngth got well, and th< n I commenced to filch little pieces of tobac co from father, which I earned carefully wrapped in a cloth to prevent it staining my pocket. Father had bought a lot ol sorry tobacco, among wlm-h was a box of “pig tail.” Well, it was as black as tar, and if you bent it, it would break like dry hog weeds, and it tasted like a rat’s nest, i commenced upon this box, and kept filching until I bad used the whole box, by which time I had scraped together a- little money, and concluded to buy some. All tin’s time I was chew ling on the sly. I bought four or five plugs and hid it out in a hollow log. In a few days I was passing that way, hunt ing. I stopped to get mo a piece of to bacco, and, gentlemen, it would have as tonished any of you to have seen the ’ terrible dimension to which my tobacco ha-1 grown. There had been a rain, an 1 “she had swelled.” That was simply all. Isoongotto being public in chewing arrangements, and never had any more trouble, only to get good tobacco, for the horrible “pig tail” experience gave me a distaste against sorry stuff.” Such was his experience, but you lose all the fun unless you could have heard | and seen him relate it. When he finish ! ed another was called up, and we had I quite an experience meeting, though j some were good, none, in my opinion, ! could equal John C’s, Rambling Jack. A LIVELY GHOST. Fora ghost, the Democratic party is extremely lively and wide-awake. After every contest, the Imperial organs assure their readers, with great gravity, that the Democratic party is at last dead. At the beginning of each campaign, these same organs insist that post mortem ex ; animations have really been had, and the i Democratic party is actually and forever i dead. And they tell us just what it died lof also. The .Evening Journal, utterly unable to find anything in the position i assumed by the Democrats of Ohio and Virginia, of whieh to complain, parades a ' frightful ghost with which to terrify the people from welcoming the Democracy . as one who shall save them out of the ! hands of the Philistines. The Adminis tration [-arty is full of rottenness, and : the people demand its overthrow. The I Democracy propose to apply the eternal j principles of their organization to the I destruction of the Imperial plunderers, | and the Radical organs can find but one j way to prevent it. They know they de i serve defeat. They know they merit con : demnation. They know they ought to r>e stripped of power. And so they con j jure up ghosts with which to intimidate i i.he people. This party, whose utter ances so please you, says the Journal, HERE SHALL THE PRESS THI3 PEOPLE'S RIGHTS M .IMTAItV, VHAWED BIT PEAR AND UN BRIBED EY GAIN. QUITMAN, GA., THUi 18DAY, SEPTUMISEII 18, 187:!. has a sickcn’ng visage, a horrid form, til I decrepit hearing; and so it rings tin ! changes of “Dough-Face,” “Copper j | head” and “Bourbon.” I The Radicals have mist.ikon the peo ple. Po it. Dough-Face, yet- the lac.'of that party is certainly set right., while the ; face of th-' Administration is altogether wrong. Copperhead or no, it will chase . the plunderers away. Bourbon or not, | it will overthrow the Imperial despotism i which oppresses us. There is nothing I alarming in tin's-.' ghostly apnritions. i Tho danger is from tho living Republican | organization. And it takes a live party i to overthrow it. Sueh a party is the Democracy. That party bolds Connceti- -it., alt- mate, with I tho Republicans in tho control of Now Hampshire, and oven alarms t hem in the State of Maine. New York in naturally Democratic, and New Jers -v usually so. In Ohio the party is so stalwark as to seriously alarm the Republics us, notwith standing their boasted unconcern. Del aware, Maryland and Virginia arc to be depended upon. West Virginia is Dem ocratic. North Carolina is divided, but will not remain so. Georgia is strong and free. Louisiana, is only held down by Fdderal bayonets. Texas is Demo cratic. Tennessee is righting, Kentucky is entirely one way. iU-iiouri has a Democratic Governor. (V.lii'ornla and Oregon alternate I- twe«n the two pariies. And so with other States. Avery largo majority of the white people -o' the na tion are Democrats. And an immense preponderance agree upon the soundness an-1 utility of Democratic principles. To call a party thus vitalized “dead” or “moribund” is to betray fear. It is stronger, even in its ghoatliness, with the conscience of the people, than ii* the Ad ministration party.

After | the. scanty earnings were exhausted, th- 1 1 few articles of furniture w- re part- -1 with j one by one, to obtain the d.oly loaf ol j bread; but in a lit tie Fum this resource failed, and ghastly famine glared upon them. To-day, little Alice had wan-b red out, j hoping to fin-1 a few sticks with which to j make a little blaze, and on her ivl urn she I found her sister much weaker. “Dear Jenny,” said the child, “leould | find nothing to cat, but. these i urniju and j potato parings, which 1 picked up in ;> rubbish box oil the side-walk, f have washed them quite clean at the pump and they will In- better than nothing.

I think I am [cist that. So take the rest yourself, darling. I nev er expected to see you reduced to this; but it is all right, no doubt.

She was very stiff and cold and looked about for Jenny. She seemed to be kneeling by the bed-side, but when Alice spoke, there was no answer. The l a ■' wa - colorless a.s marble, and a sweet | smile wreathed the thin white lips. She | seemed to have via n at night, for the lit - [ lie ettp of water, nu !to have di< -1 as she knelt, to breathe . prayer to the kind Father, who in love gathered her into his glorious fold, whei e cold and hunger and pain and sorrow a • forever strung- rs.

No one heeded it, except one breaking heart which Hung itself upon the rough box, and shrieked as they tor-' her from it. It was all over, an-l It!lie Alice found homeless and friendless in the great bust bug city. She was almost slat pi tied by grief, and almost u:r- lissio'isly she wan dered to th-' in r .'el near the river, and stopped lo warm her lingers at a little charcoal furnace. A stout Jersey farmer was standing near, dressed in a shaggy "great emit,” with a woolen comfort ;r about, his neck. 1: nude room for her beside the tire, and look'd comp isionate ly mi her thin, old ilre-s and.shivering frame, llis 1... b- -v-n band brought out a rosy-chiek'd apple from his ov-.r eoat pocket, with hho gave to Alice. Th- 1 tears came in the ey.;s of the poor, fam ished child, as she eagerly took it, ex claiming, “Ou thank you, thank you, sir.” It was eat,-'ii quickly, and the fanner who had watched II pi'ients, said. “I wish I had u'u-ther for you ,little girl, you seem to like apples so well. Your folks should not let you com-' mil such a cold day with them thin clothes on, and no shawl licit,her.” Just then a euar-e market-woman, ev idently in u bad humor, came along, and giving Alice a rude push, bade her “be off with her rags, and not take up the room of her betters.
