National Press Association.
We are indebted to a number of our Geor
gia brethren of the Press for notices of Resolu
tions, which werefadoptedat out recent Press
Convention, and we tender our thanks for
their favorable comments in regard to the
formation of a National Association. We are
also indebted to the Brooklyn Eagle and the
Qermantoicn Chronicle for a copy of each pa
per containing notice of, and comments up
on, the circular issued by the committee
which was recently appointed by the Georgia
Press Association to correspond with the
members of the Press in the different States,
with a view to the formation of a National
Press Association.
We regret very much that the writers of
the comments in question were compelled to
give the “circular” so slight a reading as to
cause them to mistake its purport entirely.
The same remark would apply with equal
force to the writer of of an exceedingly was
pish article in the Richmond Dispatch, which
does not reach us from the office of that paper.
Did not his article suggest the thought that
he regarded the reading of the “circular” as
wholly unnecessary. We have heard of some
candid reviewers who could {never review a
book after they had read it. It will doubtless
be a piece of news to the Harry Hoteper of
the Dispatch, to learn that the Georgia Press
Association did [not “walk into a trap,” set
for gopher-riders on the exchange privilege,
“and passed and sent in circular form to
thousands of editors, resolutions calling for
the restoration of this free exchange privi
lege,” and “asks all the editors jnthe;country
to form a National Press Association” to ac
complish that purpose, and he has simply
made a palpable blunder and gone off half
cocked, in saying so.
We here give an extract from the remarks
which were made when the resolutions were
submitted to the Georgia Press Association,
together with the resolutions, excepting only
the one providing for the appointment of a
committee.
“It occurs to me, sir, that in view of thh re
cent hostile legislation of Congress upon tifie
newspaper question, the refusal of our own
Legislature to pay even the small courtesy of
referring to a committee, a memorial from
the journalists of the State, seeking relief
from on onerous and an unusual law injuri
ously affecting their interests ; the frequent
intemperate and abusive attacks made upon
the Press of the whole country by prominent
and influential Senators and members of the
lower House of Congress, the time has come
for the members of our noble craft through
out the land to combine not only for their
protection, but for the for grander and loftier
purpose of making the great power they un
questionably possess available for the pro
tection of constitutional liberty from the en
croachment and usurpations of greedy and
unscrupulous power.
****** • ^
That our own interest may be proti
and promoted ; that the priceless boon oi,
liberty, of which we should be the peculiar
guardians, may be retained by us, and hand
ed down all unimpaired to our children, it is
important that the vast power of the Press,
now diffused through a thousand channels,
should be combined into one great volume of
strength and force.
To secure an end, at once so desirable and
so easy of attainment, and so far reaching in
its benedcient results, I offer the following
resolutions:
1st Resolved, That the President of this
Association appoint a committee of five mem
bers thereof, to confer with the officers of
other State Associations and with prominent
(and leading) journalists throughout the
Union, for the purpose of forming a National
Press Association.
***** ***
3d Resolved, That the object of this move
ment is to promote the varied interests of the
people, the general welfare of the country,
the dissemination knowledge, to resist the
encroachments of power, and for the preser
vation of constitutional liberty.
4th Resolved, That we recognize the rights,
and the power of the people, that we respect
their will, and we earnestly invoke their aid
and encouragement to the efforts of the Press
to preserve constitutional government and
civil liberty.
Can the turbid fancy of the Dispatch writer
find here his frantic demand for the restora
tion of the exchange privilege ? Can he find
aught in the aims of the Georgia Press As
sociation that does not commend itself to the
earnest and careful judgment of every high-
minded journalist in the land?
The Eagle, and Chronicle have both also
fallen into the error of taking as objects of
the Association the causes which the Georgia
Press Association considered sufficiently
alarming to justify the press in making surer
protection in more extensive and thorough
union. The action of the Georgia legislature
taxing printing materials, the Congressional
action withdrawing the privileges formerly
held by the press, were|referred to as indica
ting the existence of a spirit to go still farther
in the direction of crippling the press. The
camel, in the Eastern legend, only put his
nose under the tent of his lazy owner; that
being tolerated, his whole body soon follow
ed, and it was the master, and not the camel,
that gave possession. In the same manner
and for the same purpose, the indecent and
not clamoring for the restoration of a privil
ege so paltry as that of allowing us to send a
paper or two through the mails free of post
age.
We are also so jealous of the rights of our
great guild, as to regard with distrust and
alarm any disposition to interfere even with
its privileges, by a body which has been so
reckless in its abuse of power as the Ameri-
Congress in the last decade.
It must not be overlooked that the Georgia
Press Association took other and far higher
motives for its action than will be found in a
mere desire to protect from unjust discrimi
nation in Legislation the press of the country.
The social enjoyments and profits which
proceed from a meeting of the journalistsfof
the country, the larger interests of the whole
country, the welfare, the happiness, and the
liberty, of which we should be the peculiar
guardians, of the whole people were leading
considerations which impelled our Associa
tion to action.
To Ota* Exchanges.
We respectfully return our thanks to our
daily cotemporaries for their kindness
to exchange with us since the new postal law
went into operation. Not one either daily
or weekly, with whom we exchanged before
the first of July, has cut us off, and we regard
it as a significance of their appreciation of
The Hebat,t> as a weekly exchange. We have
tried to make our piper a first class weekly,
and it is a source of pleasant reflection
to see this expression of favor on the part of
our cotemporaries. We will endeavor, in the
future, as in the past, to make a reliable and
readable newspaper. Thank you brethn
for the courtesies you have thus shown
Seiid on your papers we will pay our s'
of the postage.
Attention Cadets.—Capt John Milledge
/ President of the ex-Cadet Association of
Georgia, has called for a convention of all
ex-Cadefo of the Grorgia Military Institute.
The convention will be held in Atlanta on
the 1st of September. The Macon Telegraph
in referring to the G. M. L, and the call for
a convention, says: When Gen. Sherman ad
vanced bis vandal horde upon Atlanta, the
cadets took the field, and in line of battle
aided for days in keeping back the invaders.
For discipline, drill, and esprit da corps,
boys though they were in years, they yet
commanded the admiration of the whole
army.”
Ah ! yes, we were one among those boys,
and well do we remember how eager they
were to get an opportunity to draw a bead
and pull a trigger upon the blue coat invad
ers upon Georgia soil, and alas, how well do
we remember how some of those boys gave
up their lives in the “Lost Cause.” Poor fal
len comrades, may they repose in peace.
We expect to attend the convention if possible
on the 1st of September, and hope to meet
many of our old Mends and comrades there.
Members of the convention will be passed
.over the railroads for one fore to and from it
instA

Ex-Gov. Lowe, and D. B. Thompson have’ bad tempered speeches of Senators and Rep
resentatives, assailing the press, were cited
Why did not our astute cotemporary, the
Richmond Dispatch, charge the movement
with making a war upon Congress ? It would
have been just as sensible and just as near
the truth. He is evidently off the track now,
but we invite him to study the subject more
carefully; it will work off his bile, and he.
can then see more clearly the objects and
good intentions of the Resolutions. We hope
we may yet meet him in a National Conven
tion, and as we would expect to engage in
the social amenities of Buoh an occasion, we
would shake hands with him across the blood
less chasm, and he will then regret his pres
ent choleric opposition to the movement.
We are compelled to differ from the Brook
lyn Eagle in the opinion that it will be time
onough for the American press to unite,
when its freedom is imperiled by such action
as was taken recntly in the French Assem
bly. It has long been impressed upon us
that it is an egregrious piece of folly to lock
a stable-door after the horse is stolen. This
movement of the Press is only precautionary
and prohibitory, and was not designed to in
jure any, nor is it a special object to restore
any privilege to any person or any cllss of
persons. If the press of the country is satis
fied with the postal law as it now stands we
will abide by it But no prudent thought
ful man can fail to discern the real motive
underlying the action of Congress in exclud
ing free newspapers from the mails. Is there
no significance in the ease with which the
first step was taken adversely to the interests
of the press ? Is there nothing in it sugges
tive to ambitious minds, grasping for every
semblance of power and perfect immunity in
the futrue ? We are opposed to any measure
looking to a restoration of that huge fraud
and swindle, the franking privilege. We are

s Herald:—On Saturday night the 12tl
ched Irwinton, having been drivqh
Jameison, the colored hackman of
Wiley Smith, in the vory best hack I have
seen in many a day. I was prepared to ap
preciate such accomodations after the annoy
ances I had suffered, at different timea this
year, from your famous (infamous is the right
word) “Old Ship,” that tortures travelers
between Tennilleand Sandersville. Thomas
drove me to the house of Thomas Newton
Beall Esq., where I found him and his noble
wife sitting up at that late hour to welcome
me. Here I found one of those sweet, high-
toned, intelligent Christian families where
parents and children all combine to love God
and their fellowmen. I staid with them till
Monday after dinner. On Sunday I preached
on The Lord's Prayer. By a little lateral talk
while preaching, put in to keep good order,
and some remarks at the close, about my style
of managing singing-schools, I caused, as I
afterwards learned, some of the young ladies
to be afraid to attend the school But they
went, nevertheless, and continued to go to
the end; and, no doubt to their agreeable
disappointment, they did not get scolded a
bit during the whole time.
Well, I should like for every body to know
just how nice a time I had in Irwinton. My
school was one of the sweetest you ever saw.
I fell deeply in love with every pupil I had,
male and female; and I have abundant rea-
rons for thinking they all reciprocate my re-

The Fair
Of the Washington county Agricultural
Society, held on Saturday last, was all that
could be wished for. The assembly was
large, the exhibition fine, the day pleasant,
if we except the heavy rain late in the after
noon. There w^s scarcely an article on ex
hibition that does not deserve special men
tion, had we space to do so. Visitors from
other counties aad Societies pronounced it
the finest summer display they bad ever
seen. Such cabbage, com, potatoes, beets,
onions, melons,tomatoes, and the thousand
and one et cetems that grow in field and gar
den, and such delicious hams to go along
with them, sueh peaches, apples, pears,
plums, grapes, preserves, pickles, jellies,
wines, cordials, light bread and the sweetest
butter to go with'the latter, cake, honey, (the
bees seem to h*e done their big best for this
special occasion,) and such rare and choice
flowers and plasts, and , but it’s no use
to try to entfmemte; the thing “can’t be did”
successfully.
The special premium offered by Briggs A
Brother, Rochadter, N. Y., was handsomely
bom off by Mrs. EL A Sullivan. Her display
of rare exhotics and other choice-flowers, was
very much admiied.
In these summer fairs it is not expected to
have much in ihe way of fine stock. Yet
there were some very fine animals on exhi
bition. The center of attraction in this de
partment was a pair of thorough Berkshire
Pigs, exhibited by CoL T. J. Smith. These
pigs are the grand-children of the famous
Tennessee hog, Robert Lee. A sensible far
mer remarked that it was worth the price of
admission just to see them pigs. But CoL
Smith does not do'things by halves. Right
along side of the rigs stood another beauty.
Cotsvold Lamb, with a fleece
:uring nearly pix inches in length, and
st as soft as silk. This lamb had been
at large with the flock, and was ta
ken 6qm the pasture the day previous.
The fljpciety is largely indebted to CoL E.
C. Grier, of Jones, for a mognifiieent display
of some of the finest varieties of Grapes now
in cultivation. He exhibited specimens of
the Hartford Prolific, Ive’s tt Seedling, Dela
ware, Iona, Diana, Concord and Clinton.—
CoL Grier also exhibited some very fine spec- i
imens of Tomato and Egg Plant
It would afford us pleasure to particularize ;
farther, but space forbids. As before inti- |
mated the Fair was a success financially and j
otherwise. There, was nothing superflous j
about it, but real substantial} work. The :
social enjoyment too, was of itself well worth 1
all the trouble and expense. The following .

Thanes.—We return our thanks to a Mend
in Iowa for several late copies of Iowa papers.
We find them interesting, and we also ob
serve that the formers Granges are attracting
the attention of the Press there.
Last Monday, the 21st was the twelfth an
niversary of the first battle of Manassas.
Many of the soldiers of both sides, those who
wore “the Blue and the Gray” doubtless have
a feeling recollection of the day of that fierce
battle.
A Grange of the Patrons of Husbandry was
organized at Davisboro, in this county, on
Tuesday of last week, with CoL Heniy G.
Wright as Master. This makes the fourth
Grange now in operation in this county.
A large fire occurred in Louisville, Ky.,
on the 15th. The fire was the work of an in
cendiary. Considerable excitement prevail
ed, owing to the nearness of the fire to the
Public Library, * Theatre, and other large
buildings.
Mrs. Rebecca Rawls was bom the 6th
of Sept., 1801, and died at her residence in
Bulloch county, Ga., July 17th 1873. She
became converted, and connected herself
peaches—Wm. M. Moses, 1 00 ! with the Methodist Episcopal church South
" ’in 1835. Since which time she has remain
ed a vary consistent member thereof. Her
health had been gradually declining ior some
length of time previous to her death, which
she bore with becoming patience and Chrie-
tian fortitude. In her character was com
bined a kind and considerate neighbor, a
firm and faithful friend, and a devoted and
affectionate parent. She leaves four chil
dren and numerous relatives and- friends to
mourn her loss; for indeed she will be sadly
missed by the community in which she lived.
Yet we have strong hope that what is loss to
her friends, is her eternal gain.
Peace to her ashes. G. W. S.
gard. _ w
young folks, they were all attention and pick
ed up rapidly every bit of instruction I threw
down to them. I went to Irwinton a total
stranger to every body there save Rev. Win.
S. Baker, Dr. D. R. Fluker, Gus Beall, and
Dr. Brazeal whom I knew in the army as a
member of Gen. A R. Wright’s brigade band;
But I made many acquaintances there, all of
them delightful. I left the town with deep
regret, wishing I eould have stayed longer.
You know how good it makes you feel when
you go to a place where the people try to
make you happy. It reminded me so forci
bly of the way you Sandersville people al
ways treat me. I always feel happy when I
go to Washington. I heard a good man say
you Washington county people did not have
much religion. Well, it pains me tp say that
I have not much either, but I knowfrne thing,
and that is that you folks always treat me in
a way that mekes me feel glad and joyous as
long os I stay among you. Universalists,
Baptists, Methodists, Christians, and Sinners
all seem to vie with each other in trying to
make me blest. What sort of heart would I
have if I did not love them as my own soul ?
I found our young friend Dr. Fluker en
gaged in a heavy practice, and going day and
night I had several very interesting, but
necessarily short, conversations with him.
Ha looks remarkably well, hard work seem
ing to agree with him. I found him an ear
nest student of his profession and giving his
whole mind to it He has made the finest
start in practice of any young Dr.p have ev
er known, to the best of my recollection; and
as he does not drink whiskey, play sards, eat
opium, nor go to brothels I expect him to
succeed grandly. I know his many and warm
friend in Washington, where he was bom
and braught up, feel a deep interest in his
welfare, and this is my apology for so long a
paragraph about him.
I met also the amiable Dr. Camming, a
Washington man, but long a physician here
of high reputation. _ Also the talented and
intelligent Dr. Cochran, and others whom I
will not tax your columns to name. I had a
sweet time with Dr. Henry Hyman and his
noble wife and 6tep daughter, Afiss Mattie
McIntyre. Dr. H. is a Dentist of splendid
skill, as I have learned. Success to him !—
He is a brother to my beloved and never-to-
be-forgotten Mend, Rev. J. J. H. I vote the
Hyman ticket all round.
And now, in conclusion I say, God bless
all the girls and hoys of Irwinton, and every
body else ! Though my stay with you was
short it was sweet; and, though the lines are
not critically appropriate to the relations be
tween you and me, I bid you adieu in the
sweet word of Tom Moore:
“Farewell! but whenever you welcome the
hour
That awakens the night-song of mirth in your
bower,
Then think of the Mend who once Welcomed
* it too,
And forgot his own grief to be happy with
you.”
