The sub scription year of many of our friends expired with the last issue. The Herald, since its establishment a year since, has paid weekly visits to almost every family in the county, and to many in neighboring counties. We feel reluctant to part with any of our numerous friends, but must certainly do so, unless those who are indebt ed to us make payment for time, labor and money devoted to their entertainment and instruction. We pay cash for everything employed in making up the paper —for labor, type, paper, ink, &c., &c., and it is a matter of impossibility for us to attempt to do business without money. There are on our books at this moment, four or five hun dred dollars due on subscriptions, a very unpleasant fact to chronicle. We have been as lenient as possible, v. T e have waited patiently, but we cannot furnish papers for an indefinite period, to those who do not even show a disposition to pay us. On tho first of February we shall erase the names of those who have not squared up, this step being absolutely necessary. We can work better for a dozen paying subscribers than for two score thousand non-paying ones. On Tuesday the Senate adjourned sine die. The True Georgian calls Bullock’s organ (the New Era) the ‘'New Error.” During the month of December, the national debt is to be reduced five millions of dollars by the purchase of bonds. If ex-Governor Browa succeeds in get ting control of the State Road, Judge John TANARUS, King, of Augusta, will be President. ArPALAcniA has been suggested as anew name for West Virginia, by several journals in that State. It is said that Bullock expects the Radi cal majority iD this State at the coming election, to reach four or five thousand only, unless troops are sent to ts regulate ,> affairs ! Once in a while Wendell Phillips shows a clear streak of good sense. Recently, during a lucid interval, he spoke of Presi dent Grant as “a wooden-hearted, leather headed marplot.” Washington specials to the New York papers announce that Governor Bullock is to be a candidate for the United States Senate for Uie term commencing March 4, 1871. The municipal election in Atlanta on Wednesday was the most exciting and boistrous ever witnessed in that city, accord ing to the Sun. Judge Hammond, the candidate of the Radicals and “Bolters” was elected by q, majority of 124 in a total vote of 4292. Tiie Albany News says that the abandon ment of the Republican party, by Dr. Sam uel Bard, is not without significance. He was one of the shrewdest observers in the party, its ablest Southern editor, and always posted. Straws show the way the wind blows, and whether we regard Bard as the straw, or the first blast of the coming storm, his defection forms a part of the history of the times, and is cumulative evidence of the approaching dissolution of the party he served so long and so faithfully. In relation to what is known as the Relief Law, passed at the last session of the Gen eral Assembly, the Chronicle and Sentinel says the law has been attributed to the pen of Chief Justice McCoy. We learn that this is an error. A gentleman who return ed from Atlanta a few days siDOe says that it is understood there that General Henry L. Benning is the author of the bill. The same gentleman informs us that it is believed in high official circles at tbe capital that the Supreme Court will unanimously sustain the first section of the bill, and that a majority of the Court will sustain the balance of the bill as it finally passed. W t e learn from the Savannah News that the superintendants of the several cotton presses of that city have resolved to make an additional charge of 20 cents per bale upon all cotton sent to them for compress ment after the first of December, also 25 cents per month upon every bale of cotton sent to them for storage. The effect will be to change the wholo system of the compress ing business, and throw a large amount of cotton upon the warehouse men. who will have to take charge of it for tne time being. Only six ‘ Smiths” appear in the Borne Daily’s lists of municipal candidates. TO TIIE VOTERS OF UPSON COUNTY. On the first day of October last a Con vention of the county was held for the purpose of nominating a candidate for the Legislature. The nomination was made by ballot, and on counting the votes, it was ascertained that I had received a majority of all the votes cast, and was therefore de clared the nominee of the Democratic party. Since that time, I have heard of dissatisfaction for various reasons, but principally because I have resided in the county only about two years. It is not my purpose, nor was it the purpose of those who nominated me, to mi;ke myself an ob stacle to the success of the Democratic party. This is no time for personal prefer ences. No man should hesitate a moment to sacrifice the claims of any man for success in the approaching election. The issues are too important to he overlooked, and I would willingly sacrifice my claims, or the claims of any friend, for the success of the Democratic party in this contest. To the end, therefore, that harmony may be preserved, the party made a unit, and a victory over misrule and curruption won, I propose that the people, if they think proper to do so, when they assemble on the 17th inst., take into consideration the pro priety of a change as to the candidate for the Legislature. I would never yield the race because of the opposition of my per- . sonal enemies , but I will do anything the people may suggest for the good of the country. John I. Hall. Thomaston, Dec. 9, 1870. Communicated.] Mr. Editor : Being a citizen (or rather a denizen) of Upson county, State of Geor gia, I claim the privilege of speaking upon the public affairs concerning said county and State. I know my franchise is some what entrammelod by our’good and gracious conquerors, still they pretend to grant us the privilege of voting and in some cases submit to our exercising the right of dis cussion in such matters, and while such is the case, if I speak now, I must say that political ambition is, and eve? will be, the bane of this great republic. It was the main-spring which brought on our causeless, hasty and horrible war. Ido not mean to say that the cause of the Southern States was unrighteous ; but that the war was pre mature, hasty and thrust upon the people without their sanction by ambitious politi cians, will not be denied. The result proves the fact. The great hue and cry about our rights, the brow-beating and the tantalising with “submissionists” were the levers which forced a tacit consent to the war from the people. In precise imitation of that event we see another effort on the part of some of our people, which is likely to prove, in propor tion to its magnitude, equally disastrous to our true interest. The great hue and cry which has been raised over the Hon. John I. Hall, is just the re-enactment of the old scene. No one knows of a fault in him until he is nominated, then here they corre, one says “he is a Radical,” one says “he is a lawyer,” another that “he is a bigot and won’t speak to me,” another “he is not en titled to the place,” and as the last resort they say “he is not the man, he won’t do.” Now what does all this mean? Just sim ply unsatisfied ambition ! Am Ito damage my account of personal piques and preferences ? To wantonly talk a man into the ground ? To injure his political or private character is bad enough, but it is nothing compared to damaging the cause of the country. By it we elect who to legislate for us ? I, for one, must say to John I. Ilall, “stand firm” and not be twited about by every wind that blows, and if the people are to murder their own cause, or stand still and tacitly see it ruined, just let them do as they have been doing for the last ten years. The time may come when we will learn something. L.-J. F.

The location is within easy drayage of the Barnesville and Thomaston Railroad, accessible to the best and cheapest building material, as salubrious as any spot in the world, labor plenty and cheap all about, provisions abundant and low-priced, and no doubt one of the best sites for a manufacturing busi ness in the world. It was long occupied by a flourshing cotton mill, which was destroy ed in the course of the war. Dr. Rogers wishes to find somebody who will go in with him in re-establishing the business.. The gentleman he refers to in his letter to us, was a party contemplating, some time in the course of years, the removal South of a manufactory of cotton mill material. Grant always begins bis appointments in these terms: “Know all men by these presents.” TIIE MEETING ON TUESDAY. In accordance with the announcement in last week’s Herald, the people met in the Court House to hear addresses by Messrs. Lawton, Mathews and Ilall. The meeting was organized by calling Judge T. A. D. Weaver to the Chair, and requesting Capt. J. F. Lewis to act as Secretary. The Lion. W. J. Lawton being present came forward and addressed the people in a short speech of about thirty minutes’ length, which all present were struck with the earnestness, sincerity and the remarka ble cropping-out of an honest man’s con victions. A motion was then made by Judge T. S- Sharman to test the sense of the : meeting whether or not there should be a nomina tion for County Officers and it was carried in the affirmative. Saturday, the 17th inst., was ageed upon as the day for the nomina tions. On motion of Dr. C. Rogers, a Committee of five was appointed, to visit candidates whoso names has been announced, and counsel with them as to the best mode of reconciling the political differences which now disturb our community. The Chair then appointed Dr. J. C. Drake, Capt. James W. Atwater, B. G. McKenney, Capt. W. Hightower, and Judge Thos. F. Bethel, as the Committee. On motion of Judge T. S. Sharman, the Chair appointed the following gentlemen from each District to look after the interest of the Democratic party in their several sections : FLINT DISTRICT. D. W. Wamble, Capt. Win.

The State Democrtic Executive Commit tee urges you to perfect at once your coun ty organizations. The election is near at hand. No time to bo lost. The importance of the result cannot be over-estimated. Representatives in the National Congress are to be chosen. They should be men of prudence and patriotism ; men who will reflect houor on the State and give encour agement and support to that gallant band of Northern Democrats who, amid all the perils of the past, have been true to the country and the Constitution. Members of the State Legislature also, are to be elected. They should be men us integrity and sound judgment; men whose interests are identic tied with theintersts of the State ; who feel a pride in her paet glory ; who sympathize with her present misfortunes, and whose hopes depend on her future prosperity. You can elect such men. Success is within your grasp. You have but to will it and the victory is yours. All classes of our citizens deplore the rule cf tne regime. Their pride and their pockets alike rebel against its continuance. The colored peo ple are ready to be delivered from their new bondage—a bondage which makes them slaves to the ambition and tho avarice of the office-seekers who aspire to be their leaders. They begin to realize that the men of the South, with whom they have liv ed so long, are their true friends ; and that those who now govern the State are fast enguliing them and us in a common des truction. They will not be longer misled by the false accusation that we wish to put them back into slaveiy ( ,r co take away their political rights. They well know that we would not do either, if we could, and that we could not if we would. Their best interests and ours alike depend on a wise and just administration of the Government. And thousands of them are willing to co operate with us in displacing from power those whose incapacity and reckless extrav agance have well nigh plunged the State nto bankauptcy and ruin. But if you will have success, you must be united among yourselves. You must rally around the chosen standard bearers of the party. Independent candidates must have the magnanimity and patriotism to withdraw. If they will not, withdraw froth their support—though*they be your warm est personal friends—and leave them to suffer the defeat they deserve. This is no time for division m our ranks. There is too much at stake, and the peril is too great. Let us surrender petty jealousies and per sonal ambitions aud dislikes, and give a cordial support to the selected candidates of the party. Suspend your business while the election is progressing, and attend tbe polls. Do not vote at any precinct—vote only at the county site. Conform strictly to the law in all respects. If none of the ap' pointed managci's appear by ten o'clock on the day oj the election , get three free-holders to open the polls , as provided by section 1314 of the Code. Above all things, preserve peace. And may God defend the right and save the State! In behalf of the State Democratic Exec utive Committee. Clifford Anderson, Chairman. There is a report that the New York Times, perceiving which way the political wind blows, is about to abandon the milk and-water style in politics, and openly es pouse the principles of Democracy. That journal once tried the new party role (a trial which the Chicago Tribune is now imitating) and found it unprofitable as well as unsuccessful. Naturally, it reaches the conclusion that the best way to enter the Democratic temple is to-go in boldly at the front door, and not dodge around thro’ tho back alley.

The impression exists in diplomatic circles that the French have made a brilliant effort, and at the labt authentic advices they were pushing their advantage. It is undeniable that the French forces actually won the victory as claimed by them near Orleans; but the Prussians brutally repulsed the French attack before Paris. ft is not true that the army of the Loire have effected a junction with Trochu, though the Pru6s an lines were repeatedly success fully pierced during the engagement. The bayonet charge of the French is described as exceedingly brilliant. London, December s. —lt is rumored that Erlanger is storing vast quantities of provisions at Havre for Paris when the siege is over. Havana, December 6.—De Rbod-as has freed four thousand additional blacks, leaving no slaves wherein the Government is interested. A Card to the Public.— A close obser vation upon the condition of the country, during my recent visit to the “Federal Cap ital,and the Northern States, has forced upon my mind the conviction that the mis sion of the Republican party has ended. The accomplishment of ail its good offices devolves upon the statesmen of the country the duty of det'ermining the policy of the Government for the future. Stupendous ISsues are now rising up, having no neces sary connection with the measures of the late civil war, or of Reconstruction conse quent upon it; demanding the closest investigation and wisest solution by the popular mind. Many of those assumed such shape as to make it clearly manifest that the future welfare of the country will be best secured by the C(tdP|[)lete triumph of the declared principles of the Democratic party ; as now set forth by sucb leaders as Governor John T. Iloffman, and illustrated by his recent triumphant eleetion. Acting with the Republican party in sup port of the measures for the restoration of the States of the South to their proper relations to the “Federal Government,” we have but discharged a solemn duty to the people for which we have not a single regret to express. Now, that Reconstruction has baen fully accomplished, the same high regard for the welfare and peace of the whole country, which has always controlled my political coarse, impels me to declare my unqualifi ed sympathy with and adhesion to the National Democratic party. With this well considered determination, we place at our masthead the name of John T. lloffman, of New York, for the Presi dency in 1872. This determination has been arrived at without consultation with Gov. Hoffman or his friends, and without regard to personal consequences. On the same ground, we also hoist the name of John B. Gordon, for the office of Governor of the State of Georgia in 1872. The policy of “The True Georgian” to ward the dangerous State administration, will continue as heretofore—one of firm and vigorous opposition. Samuel Bard, Editor Daily True Georgian. The question of removing the capital of the nation is still agitated at the West, whither “the course of empire takes its way.” Such is the persistency of Western aspirations in the matter, and such the perseverance with which they urge their purpose, that, reasoning from analogy, there would seem to be danger of gaining the suit at some period, perhaps not veTy remote. The agitation has its ».se», proba bly, one of which we hope will be to. the wastefulness and extravigance with which in this time of oppressive taxation the money of the people is squandered in decorating and extending and enriching the present capital, by jobs which are con ceived rather in the interest of the rings than of the national credit, honor, or weU fare. Removals are sometimes revolution ary, radical, purifying and wholesome. If the breaking up of the capital at Washing ton could be a regular barn-burning operation, and carry with it a thorough cleansing of the Augean stable, we should be inclined to advocate it. If the destruc tion of all the ruling politicians and lobby ists and party jobbers and cliques and rings and corruptionists ofevery sort were involv ed in the removal of the capital, it would be a popular movement indeed. But, alas, it is the politicians who are seeking the change. The West is ambitious, and the name of its aspiring politicians is legion. St. Louis is the headquarters of the present movement, and a candidate, of course, for the new seat of Government; A meeting, was held there a few days ago, at which a permanent association was formed, called the National Capital Removal Association for the the purpose of urging, and promot es by ft ll available means, the removal of the capital from Washington to some point in the Mississippi Valley. In view of Alas ka and the annexation of the Sand wich Islands and Canada, the point ought to be within the shadow of the Rocky Mountains. The President’s recommendations of new State and Var Department building will bring up the question of removing the capi tal in a very pointed shape. Produce More and Buy Less. —As an individual grows rich by what he saves rather than by what he makes, so a com munity thrives by the amount of its surplus more than bv the extent of its sales, llow often has the money received for a crop of cotton failed to discharge indebtedness incurred for other supplies ? How many plantations have been mortgaged to secure such debt? The day will come, if wise counsel is heeded, when the products of cotton will be all surplus, other products paying the expenses of the farm. I have received, officially, abundant testimony from individual successes and of the superior profits of mixed husbandry with cotton. lam positive in the convic tion that the permanent prosperity of these States depends upon a more diversified ag riculture. While if is true that a large cotton crop may produce actually less money than a small one, no sane man will question the political economy which adds to this source ot revenue many others, which together, make an aggregate many times larger. For some years to come the cotton man ufacturers of the world cannot contribute to the industry of these States more than two or three hundred millions of dollars per annum ; while the total production with th 9 variety required to realize the highest capabilities us soil and climate, should command a thousand millions, and two thousand might be obtained within a period of ten years, if the whole population, with recruits from other States and from Europe, should unite all their efforts and their industry for the accomplishment of so grand an object. The combined value of all other products is even now materially larger than the value of cotton, but the proportion should be increased until it shall stand five to one. The cheapest beef and cheapest wool produced in the country are now the product ot the grasses of the Gulf States. The annual sales of animal products should soon be made to exceed greatly the value of the cotton crop. The wine indus try of France produces three hundred mil lion of dollars annually, and supports a population of six millions. Theu why should not your sunny slopes, best suited to wine production of any section of tne con tinent east of the Rooky Mountains, coin plete with the foreign vine yards, at least in our own markets ? There is no reason why we shuttle! send abroad for a pound of sugar, though our home production was last year but ten per cent, of the consom-r-ti >n, when Louisiana alone has s»i able land of sufficient area to supply the present wants ot the country. Y"our fruits in wonderful variety, including those of the tropics, the products of which figure largely in our imports, should annu ally add millions of dollars to the wealth of the country. Scores of new and useful plants should be added to the list of those already in cultivation. lam yearly adding many, through the Department ot Agricul ture, among the most popular of which the present season, are the corchorus (or jute) and the cinchena, which yields the qui nine. I shall continue these experiments of acclimatization, hoping to render you material aid in your efforts in diversifying your agricultural industry. In close con nection with this idea of variety of produc* tion, permit me to present my third item of counsel.— Hon. Horace Capron. The valorous Abbott has been sent to grass by the Legislature of North Carolina, his challenge to that body for a reelection to the United States Senate having been as little heeded as he was woafc to heed the challenges of others. He now has a tit for his tat. Whether the result will delve this transplanted statesman raving to cbe piny woods, there to chew gum and eke oat the remnant of a disappointed life in solitary misery, or he will consult his carpet-bag on a second emigration plan, with a view to cmltiviiting political soil in some other State, we must patiently wait for him to inform us himself. It will be like extin guishing a jet in the Senate Chamber to remove so brilliant a light from within its walls. Samner and Drake. Cameron and Chandler,. Conkling and Dick Yates may invent a substitute rn their harrowed Sen atorial feelings for his loss, bat we have no idea that the presence of a man like ex- Gov. Vance in his place will supply their patrician breasts with any sort of consola tion whatever.— Boston Post. Features in the President’s Me-sage. —A special dispatch to the New York Trib une, on Monday, says ; “It is stated that the President’s message and Secretary Robeson’s report will be in full accord on the subject of the repeal or modification of our existing navigation laws, and that they will persistently urge upon Congress to give our commercial marine the full benefit of the present complications in Europe. There is reason to believe that the Presidenl/s message will also take stronger grounds than has been commou of late, in favor of protection to American in dustry, and that the recent efforts of the so called Revenue Reformers will receive small encouragement therefrom.” The real cause of the President’s spite against Mr. Motley, has transpired. It seems that the latter had informed certain British officials that the American Presi dent “was the creature of accident, an ignorant man, and wholly unfit for his place.” True as the statement is, it was very naaghty for Mr. Motley to make it, and when it got to the ears*of the Presi dent he flew into a great rage and oidcrod him home forthwith. An ignorant man, forsooth ! Ask Cameron or Forney if the President is ignorant. To be sure, Charles Sumner said Grant was ignorant, but did not know it, but he is a Senator. For Motley to say such a thing was impudent as well as insoleot! The eclipse of the sun, which will take place on December 22d, is to be observed by a party of astronomers, fitted out by the United States Government and to be sent to Spain. The parties organized by the British Royal Society for the observation of this eclipse will, it is stated, not be able to perform their proposed work, as the gov raent has refused to contribute to the expenses, even declining to furnish trans portation in the national vessels. In con sequence of the war between France and Germany, these nations will be unable to fit out part es of astronomers, so that for the above reasons the observation of the coming eclipse will be conducted mainly by the United States. Ben Butler says, in a reported conver sation published in the Tribune, that the Radical party was not able at the last ses sion to carry a single one to its measures. If, with a two thirds majority in both Houses, the Administration was not able to carry a solitary measure it proposed, how can it be expected that in the next Congress, with a majority of owly 19 in the Hou-e, it can carry any measure whatever ?—Knox tilfo Whiff, Suit Against General Pillow . suit of Reddle, Coleman k Cos., of Pitt i r against General Pillow and others for** seized at the outbreak of the war tr, o ? 1 amount «.f $125,000, was commenced If* 30th ult , at Memphis Tenn. in the p* States Circuit Court, before Judges Fr - aud Emons. n u &5 Postmaster General Cresswell in hi* port will recommend the adopt*,,„ 0 j T* penny postal card, similar to those • England and Germany.
