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 sions, 41; children between 6 and 18 years, 515; wards, ditto, 15; bands employed, 1,402 ; acres of land, exclu sive of wild land, 529,714; aggregate value of land, $1,333,785; aggregate value of town property, $52,340; amt. of money and solvent debts, $22 < ,055 ; amount of merchandise, $38,350; fur niture (household and kitchen), above the value of S3OO, $2,000; value of all other property, $343,346; aggregate value of whole property, $1,997,476.

Total'amdunt of property returned, exclusive of wild land, $2,006,271 — making an increase over the returns of 1871 of $178,230.

Go to tiir polls and vote on Wed nesday next ; and carry a friend or neighbor' with yob, 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. T.TntifcmifrjK.. Chairman Executive Committee. 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| fTought llr/wt anywherr 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.” OOTTON MAREKTS.
