SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 88. 1872.
Go to tub roi.ts on Wednesday next,
vote and work for the regular nominees
of the party. Democrats, do your duty
faithfully.
Republican Meeting.—-The Repub
licans of the county met last Saturday,
nominated candidates very quietly, and
then adjourned.
Let Noth t no Keep You Hack !
Remember, the struggle will boa fierce
ono. Do your duty well—vote and
work, work, work.
Mr. James Smith, a good citizen and
honest man, for many years overseer for
the Hon. J J. Jones, died last Monday
night, after a severe illness of about
eight days.
Bond Committkb. —We are indebted
to Hon. Titos. M. Berrien for eopics
of the “report of the committee of the
Legislature to investigate the bonds of
the State, issued since July 4, 1808
.and the “State R oad Lease.'’
Erratum. —In our notice of the death
of Col. Gresham, last week, we stated,
upon information, that he was about
fifty years of age. We have learned
since that he was sixty-three.
“What I Know,” etc. —We noticed
in one of our Savannah exchanges, the
Morning Ne>cs of Tuesday, an advertise
ment iu poetry, signed ‘H. G.” and ti
tled, “What I Know about Dry Goods.”
Now, it is one thing for “11. G.” to know
something about “131 Broughton St.,”
with its dry goods bargains, and
another thing for the people of Burke
to know the same. And we venture to
assert that “unless the proprietors of
that “odd number” display themselves
through the columns of this paper,
“ our people” are likely to remain igno
rant of them, however much they may
“ Know about Dry Goods,” —and other
places “ where such things are usually
to be found.”
New Goods. —We invite the atten
tion of our readers to the advertisement
of .Mr. W. •* . Wilkins. He has just
returned from New York, bringing with
him one of the largest at and best selected
stock of goods ever brought to this
market. Major Wilkins, well aware
of the “wants and necessities of the
times,” is ever active to meet and sup
ply them. He invariably endeavors to
“help those who help themselves;” and
to more successfully accomplish this
end, has added to his already extensive
business that of Cotton buying—* new
feature certainly in Waynesboro’ trade,
and one deservedly commendable. Our
friends will please bear this in mind
and. instead of going far and waiting
long, in future, for returns from their
cotton, bring the staple to this market.
Tax Retd un*. —The following is a
statement of the tax returns of the
countytif Burke for the year 1872
Number of polls (white), 814; profes

I TO THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY OF
GEORGIA.
Macon, September 23, 1872.
On the second day of Octorer next
a battle will be fought in Georgia, that
will decide whether you will be freemon
or slaves. The result thereot will de
pend upon your own will and bearing.
Radie.affsni hns marshaled her forces
for the conflict and is confident of vic
tory. The enemy must be met and
driven from the field. Victory is sure
if you discharge your duty—defeat
nwaits you if you aro laggard and inac
tive. Would you save your State from
misrule and oppression ? Go to tub
Polls. Would you prevent Radical
usurpation and carpet-bag tyranny V
Go to tub Polls. Would you have
sound legislation and constitutional
rule? Go to the Tolls. Would you
have crime punished and your State
laws administered ? Go to the Polls.
Would you prevent your people from
being burdened with a debt of seveu
million of dollars, now pressed by hun
gry bond holders ? Go to the Polls.
Would yon have a Governor that will
protect your treasury, practice economy,
execute your laws, lighten your taxes,
encourage your industrial pursuits, fos
ter your common schools, elevate your
State? Again I say, Go to the Polls.
Let nothing keep you at home when
your interests are at stake and your
liberties in jeopardy, llely not upon
your success in the past. The array,
strong in numbers, may suffer defeat
when the effective force is diminished
by hospital attendants and idle camp
followers. Arm your sick, carry your
lame to the field and your aged to the
trenches and urge each and all to engage
actively in the struggle, and a glorious
victory awaits you. Apathy may cause
defeat —and straggling, a disaster. Dp,
then, and to duty; for all you hold
dear, as people, depeuds upon the result
of the conflict. Arouse your dormant
eneigies; for danger threatens you.
Uu'-y petty divisions, and, with locked
shields, go fortli to battle against the
plunderers of your treasury, the op
pressors of your people, the hungry
hordes who have waxed fat upon your
earnings, and who are seeking again
“to rob j-ou in the name of loyalty, and
tyraunize over you under the guise of
liberty.” ; w • sr
No business pica should justify your
absence from your post on election day.
Go yourselves and carry your neighbors
and friends. Duty demands it, safety
requires it. The eyes of the Democracy
of the Union arc turned on you—falter
not—but strike as men, battling for
the right, fur home and altar—and vic
tory is yours. A success in Georgia
will encourage the armies upon other
fields, who with you are struggling for
constitutional government uud the rights
of the States. In the name of an op
pressed and impoverished people, in the
name of subverted laws, of violated jus
tice, uf tarnished honor, I invoke you,
my Countrymen, in behalf of the com
mittee I represent —to go forth to the
conflict determined to route jour ene
mies and secure a victory (brilliant and
decisive) for Governor Smith,our worthy
standard bearer, and the gallant men
who with him, are battling for your
interest and your boner. Again I say
—to the polls— to the dq(ls— aud vic
tory is yours.

Pockkt Webster’s
Pocket Dictionary, initS preslrtt shape
is a great improvement over all previous
editions, and all similar works. In the
first place it is neatly printed, and bound
in Morocco, with gilt edges. it
contains 200 pictorial illustrations,
gives a much clearer idea of the mean
ing of many words than could possibly
be conveyed by the usual definition.
The little volume, being no larger than
an ordinary pocket book, embraces in
its vocabulary a very careful selection
of over 18,(Jt)0 of the most important
word \ of tho language, with definitions
snfficiW:tly clear; 'though necessarily
brief to meet the ordinary wants of any
one requiring its use. Prefixed to the
work are tables of money, weights and
measures, abbreviations, words, and
phrases rules for spelling, explanations
etc. It is in fact a most valuable little
book, and is doubly worth tho dollar it
costs. It is very beautifully and sub
stantially bound, with tucks and gilt
edges. The publishers. Ivison, Wake
man, Taylor & Cos., 138 and 140 Grand
St., New York, will forward it by mail
on receipt of One RoUan, or it prvn bO|

Henry Wilson’s Opinion ok Gen
eral Grant Last Winter— The Itev.
Mr. Dennison comes out again against
Henry Wilson with facts and specifics
tions. Ho declares that lie called on
Wilson last winter to induce him to run
for the high office of President. Wil
son considered the matter and said :
“President Grant driuks too much. I
have told him so. The President
smokes too much; he is poisoned through
and through.” This was virtually say
ing : Grant is unfit for the office lie
now holds, and should not be continued
in it. He is a drunkard, incompetent,
“poisoned through and through.” Wil
son may deny. Denials arc cheap.
But his Know-Nothing denial has sunk
his credit.
Old Ships. —There is a ship now
sailing from Holland, built in 1598,
when the Prince of Orange was fight
ing Phillip 11., of Spain, then at the
zenith of his power. She was sailing
to the Indies when the Hollanders or
ganized themselves into the “Beggars
of the Sea,” and ns privateersmen earn
ed a reputation which astonished the
world. This Dutch ship is called the
‘Commissaries des Konig von dcr
Heine.” She passed the Cape of Good
Hope, October, 1864, from Batavia for
Holland, then 294 years old. A few
numbers back in the Boston Daily Ad
vertiser is a notice that the whale-ship
Rousseau (another of Stephen Girard’s
ships, built at Philadelphia in 1801)
was then undergoing repairs at New
Bedford. Her planking is being re
moved, the first time for seventy years.
The live oak timbers underneath are
reported to be as sound as they were
the day they were first put together.
An Injured and Indignant Wife
reached the city on the last Bostou
steamer, and with an officer affection
ately met her husband, who is the stew
ard of the ship ‘ Southern Rights,’’
on its arrival yesterdaj , ) on the wharf,
determined to vindicate her rights. It
seems that the festive husband had
been discovered and pursued upon bis
primrose path of dalliance with anew
stewardess to whom ho had given his
name and transportation from the city
in which ho thought lie had left his
trusting and confiding (much) better
half. Forgiveness and costs consequent
upon repentance and tears, which the
timely intermediation of the law brought
about, let fall the curtain upon the
scene of connubial reconciliation be
tween the couple yesterday afternoon.
Women are very determined in these
matters, we have always noticed; and
kidnapping a man in that wise is some
thing rarely allowed. It is fortunate
husbands have such good protectresses.
—Savannah Jtepublican, With inst.
Tiie Baltimore Failures.—The New
York Bulletin attributes the' heavy
failures in the grocery trade in Balti
more to the blundering legislation of
Congress with respect to the repeal of
the tea and coffee duties. The. Bulletin
say^
‘Tor along time before July Ist (the
date of the repeal of the duties), it was
found almost impossible to transact busi
ness in theso articles ; aDd when a mer
chant has to provide for bis accruing
indebtedness without being able to
reimburse himself from sales out of his
stosk, his business undergoes a sort of
temporary liquidation, which is a severe
test of his resources and credits, and
under such circumstances ho ii Wry
likely to be driven to expedients which
may subsequently embarrass him.
In the case of the repeal of the tea
and coffee duties, Congress must be
held responsible for a delay quite un-
necessary and seriously injurious to the
trade in those articles. Such uncer
tainties, holding business wholly in sus
pense were calculated to drive merchants
into speculative operations (for it is
not in the nature of American traders to
lie idle), and if some of our Baltimore
merchants havo failed in consequence,
they are to bo sympathised with rather
than censured.”
