DalTy Commercial. Rome, Ga„ Sept. 4, 1872. THE DUTY OF THE HOUR. The New York Tribune gives the fol lowing very sensible advice to the friends of the Liberal cause: They must understand that the admin istration ia not going to be cS angcd by an earthquake. They must work for success. It is in politics as it is in war; the battle is not always to the biggest army, but rather to the best drilled. Our campaign is to be short and sharp, and we are likely to be beaten unless we do more than we are doing now to get our men into the field and secure recruits from among the wavering and dissatisfi ed. We say, then, that the friends of the Liberal cause. 1. Don't waste all your strength on pa ■ rudes. Banners, bonfires, cannoii and torchlight processions are very well in their way, but they don’t make voters. They only amuse the men who would vote for your candidate anyhow. 2. Don't rely too much upon public meet ings. They are one-sided affairs, which neither develop your own strength nor in fluence the followers of tho opposite par ty. 3. Don't rely too much upon circulars. Very few voters read them. They are used for kindling and shaving paper. Be sides, the Grant party has abused the system to such an exteut that a man dis trusts whatever comes to him in that shape. 4. Don’t waste your money on Campaign Chowder C'lvbs, and other frauds. This is a great season for impecunious political muckers. Ben civil ns you please, hut -how them the door. o. Organize the party thoroughly by dis trict*, in every city, village, and township of the United States. If there is no lo cal organization where you live, get to gether a few of your neighnors and form one. G. As soon as a club is formed appoint idive canvassers to visit every house. Thus > very man who believes in the principles of our party cr.u be enrolled, and the wants of cverv district can be ascertain ed. 7. Have district meeting o n> regular Canes, so that the spirit and interest of the members may be sustained by associ ation. Never mind gatherings for bun. combe, but meet often lor business. Put your clubs into communication with the county or State associations, and report to headquarters your needs, your pro gress, and your strength. 8 Do these things at once. Begin vour local clubs to-day. Tho opposite party is active aud well disciplined, and we are not. We have a great deal of lost time to make up, and only a little while to do it in. With energetic and well directed ef fort, our victory iu Noveuber is certain; but the prize will be snatched from our hands if we do not rouse ourselves in season. The Tax of 1871 Must be Paid be fore You eau Vote in 1872. Comptroller General’s Office. } Atlanta, Ga„ Aug. 20, ’72. j ./. ’/'. Kottman, Tax Collector, Thomaseillr, Georgia: Sir — Your letter of the 27th instant has been received. It is your duty to publish, at thecouit house door, your in solvent list for 1871, and to furnish elec tion managers of the county a list of all persons who have not paid their taxes for that year, in accordance with para graph 7, section 037, Irwin’s Code, aud all persons who have not paid all taxes which may have been required of them, and which they may have Dad an oppor tunity of paying, agreeably to law, for the year next preceding the election, can not, under the Constitution, be allowed to vote. The payment of the tax for the year 1871 entitles the citizens t, vote in the elections of the present year, and you will receive the tax for that year and re ceipt accordingly, although the tax pay - r in a y hei in arrears tor lormer years. In case of default in the. payment of poll tax for 1871, you will collect one dollar as poll tax, and one dollar as pen aH'j for fahure to com pi s with the law. Respect fully, Madison Bell, t .'omptroller General. Personal Appearance of Jesus. A correspondent <>! the Washington > lironicle writes: On Sunday last Uev. Dr. Newman de livered a discourse upon the humanity of lesus Christ, in which he stated that nothing had been banded down to us in ivgard to his personal appearance, many different views being entertained on that subject. Inclosed you will find a letter written by Publius Lcntulus, President of dudea, and sont by hitn to the Senate at Rome, when the name ol Jesus began to spread abroad in tho world. These are his words: “There lives at this time, in Judea, a mau of singular virtues, whose name is Jesus Christ, whom the barbarians es teem a prophet; but. his own fellows adore ! him as tuc offspring of the immortal God. He calls back the dead from their graves, j and heals all sorts of diseases with a word or touch.- He is tall and well shap ed, of an amiable, reverend aspect. His iiair, of a color that can hardly be match ed, falling into graceful curls below his ears, and very agreeably touching on his shoulders, parted ou the crown of hi head, like a Nazarite. His forehead is smooth aud large; his cheeks without, other spot save that of a lovely red; his nose and mouth formed with exquisite symmetry; his beard thick and of a color as suitable to the hair of liU head, reach ing an inch below his chin, aud parting iu the middle like a fork; his eyes bright, dear aud serene. Ho rebukes with nun. csty, counsels with mildness; bis whole address, whether iu word or deed, being elegant aud grave. No iiiuu hus seen him laugh, hut he has wept frequently. Ho is very temperate, modest and wise; a man, for his excellent beauty and di vine perfection, aupassing the children ol men. Do not get to law unless you have 1 uothiog to loose; lawyers' houses are built on fools' head#. j VALUABLE Real Estate For Sale WE OFFER AT LO W rates and on reasonable time the residences of James Noble, Sr., and John Noble, situate be tween the Presbyterian and Baptist churches.
