Take Chat taliooche near Columbus, the Savannah near Augusta and the Oconee near Athens ■ s specimens if some of them.

And there are her mines of gold, of iron; Iter railroads; her marble, granite and mate ; her forests of most Valuable timber iind many other resources too tedious to mention. The development of all these will give employment to many millions of people * f every class —the learned and un fearned, rich and poor, male and female, old and young of every trade arid occupa tion, of every science and every art. And these will work in perfect harmony—a un i >n of all for th° good of each one, regulat ed by the laws which govern all trades n* to supply and demand Th* true policy of Georgia, therefore, is to encourage and stimulate the industry and enterprise of the people, and after this to import fro hi abroad the additional labor necessary to the accom p ishment of the grand work of improve ment and development.

The bew York South A MINUTER not long ago \ reached from the text. ‘ He ye therefore steadfast;” hut the printer made him expound lrom “Be ye there for breakfast.” A Living thirkfii Without a Head—An Unnatural C uriostty. Mr George F rr.ster formerly of Greene county. Ga., now of Randolph county, Ala , had on exhibition, in tbie city, yesterday a Evuig rooster chicken whose head had been severed from his body thirteen days, having been done on the Oth instant. This an n* uncement may excite a smile of credulity from some, but we have it, and will further ttffii m, on the authority of Mr. Forrester and his friends, that, this fowl, in its present tnutila'ed coDiiitiun, can crow with perfect distinctness. The story which was in circu’ation pome time since to the effect that such a ehicken was on exhibition in New York was not generally credited, but many wh» ridiculed that st- ry in this city are now ready to tes tily to ttie* truth of this. The circumstances cf the case are these : Mi Forrester, on the 6th instant, was ma king some preliminary preparations fur a log-roliing dinner by kil.ing tuikies, poul try etc., for the feast. Together with other fowls he despatched, as he thought, this rooster also ; but returning in eight or ten minutes, he discovered the chicken making efforts to ri.«e, after its head had been cat ontirely off. lie went to it, and after lift* ing it to its feet lie was astounded to see it stat'd alone, lie instantly culled the family to witness (he phenomenon, and fearing it might die before others could testify to this extraordinary thing hastened to one of his neighbors. At the log-rolling next day all hands saw the headless bird ; and they t-O'iu circulated the lact through the coun try. In response to this ititelligenc *, many persons forty and fifty miles distant came to Mr. Ferrester’s to see the miracle, until he had to cmne to Atlanta in self defense, for his guests wero making serious inroads upon his family siinplies. Mr. Forrester affirms that the chicken lived three days in irj present condition tonthuut food, when fie commenced feeding it on dough, by administering it with a spoon, as lie continues to do yet. We have tml had “oecular demonstration” of its dewing though we are satisfied that Mr. Forrester does not misrepresent its his t ry in any particular. We saw several persons who have heard it crow within the last two days, among them the ex Congress man of the 3d Congressional Distinct of Al bama, whose name we forget. The explanation of this anomalous fact is this. It is assertei by physiologists and medical men that some part of the hr *in is indispensable to life, and that part which is generally eiippossed to support vitality, and control the breathing organs lies just at the back of the head where it connects with the neck. Just at this point in all probability, this chicken's neck w as severed. Though, to all appearance, the neck is cut off near the shoulders, probably the neck is CDtracted and drawn in, and must un doubtedly hold some of that portion of the brain which supports animal life or else the theory that the brain is the 6eat of life is exploded. This is no “cock-and bull story.” Many persoog who saw the bird yestbrday # c&n testify to the above facts. If is Mr. For t ester’s intention to remunerate him'eif for his time and expense by selling or exhibit ing the curious ehicken. We learn he re fui-ed S2OO for it yesterday. The multitude of people that sought to see if yesterday, testify that there is sometimes “more mon ey in u dead than in a live chicken. * — Atlan ta Sun, 19 th Your L cal Paper —The New York Times says you might nearly as well forget vour churches, your academies and your school houses, as to forget your local paper.

Only a Cuild - If is harder to bring up one child than six Ia a large family the children help to bring one another up. It is not merely that the eider ones assist in taking care of the younger, but they all influence one another profitably in other ways ; vanity is sometimes laughed into modesty, and arrogance is subdued in hu mi iy. E tch child is kept constantly in mind that othe:3 have rights, and feelings, and pref-renees as well as himselfhe forms the habit of considering those rights, feelings and preferences; and he ia thus prepared to get along, as we say, with those among whom his loi may be cast.

Wendell Phillips saya: Beceutly while on a visit to the West, in the vicinity of Grant’s former home, I asked a friend »>f mine, at whoso h use I was stopping, what the people there thought of the President, and he replied that they had a very poor opinion of him ; they did not think be was an honest man. Mv friend asked me to ride r>>und within the neighborhood and he would show me at least five grog-shops where the now President of the United States has yet whiskey bills standing against him, the score not having been wiped outl Probably the old neighbors of Gen. Grant have other reasons tnan his neglecting to pay his rum bills for believing him to be dishonest, bht it is evident from the declare ation ol Mr. Phillip’s friend that they be lieve it is dishonest in a man to get io debt for whiskey drinks and then refuse or neg lect to pay for them when abundantly able, and that raises an important question in moral ethios which we would like to have discussed and determined by the temper* anee people of Maine. In » Ur State the dominant sentiment is that no tnan is under any moral obligation to pay his liquor bills, and cur statutes make especial provision that “no action shall be maintained upon any claim, or de mand, promissory note or other ccotirity contracted dr given for into£ : cuting liquors,’ but this provision is made to apply only to liquors sold in violatiou of law, and as there in no law in Missouri against the sale of intoxicating liquors the question arisos whether the moral obligation to pay rum bills is any different there from what it is here. Docs the moral obligation depend upon the statute or is the statute based upon tho moral obligation? If it is not the moral duty of any man to Day for his whiskey drinks whether the statute law holds him responsible or not, why, then, the President of the United States should not be regarded as dishonest because he does not pay them. So lar mh this piece of evidence is concerned in establishing tho charge of dishonesty against the President it may be well for the public to suspend its jugmeot until the ethical question is determined. Let us hear from the Temperance League.— Maine Standard . A Pair of Spectacles.— A near sighted school teacher in the town ot Center took a lady from Porter, aiso near-sighted, to a church on a recent Sunday evening. He drove a blind horse. The eyeless equine couldn’t keep the road, and the closed vis* ioued couple knew not whither to guide tho beast. After numerous mishaps they reached the scene of worship, with one of the tires missing, and drove triumphantly into the yard which surrounded the church.
