SATURDAY, OCTOBER 26, 1872.
No preaching to-morrow.
Cotton was quife lively during the
week now closing. See quotations and
sales. .
Tiik Augusta Fair having absorbed
many of our citizens, local items are
scarce.
Wood will soon be “ muchly” in de
mand, and cotton hauling is keeping it
from town. We would like a “few sub
scriptions,” paid now in this “ kind of
comfort-yicibing commodity.” Who’ll
speak first ?
—
Rain. —Tuesday afternoon and night,
until Wednesday, 5 p. m., incessantly
the rain poured down—a “regular” au
tumnal drop, drop, drop; dreary and
dismal, making melancholy music on
the window and the roof.
R. L. Gentry, Esq. —We were de
lighted at a on V* ednesday hist,
from this gentleman, it having been
years since we grasped his warm, true
hand. Mr. G. is traveling agent of the
Savannah Morning JS'ews, and as it is a
great paper, we hope he met with great
success.
A Proposition. —From our country
subscribers, who have heretofore “found
it difficult to get money,” we propose
to accept, in paj ment for subscriptions,
either corn, peas, potatoes, poultry,
hides, or anything else that is “eatable,
or saleable.” And we make the propo
sition a request; and surely you cannot
fail to comply with such terms of settle
ment. In another column you will fi|pl
quotations of prices by which to be
governed. tf
Claims Aoainst the United States.
The Act of Congi css authorizing pay
ment for cotton seized by United States
officials or agents, after June <>o, 1865,
will expire on the 18th of November
prox. In the meantime Col. John D.
Ashton will prepare and fill, and sub
sequently prosecute such claims. He
will also undertake the collection of
claims for provisions and supplies, fur
nished or taken by the Northern Army
during its march through Georgia.
New Btokk ! New Man.—We direct
tlie attention of our readers to the ad
vertisement of Mr. .13. De L. Muses, in |
another column. Mr. M. is a young man |
of energy, pluck and business capacity :
• —and as these qualties generally win, '
we predict for him a I rilliant fu- j
turc. In connection with his mercantile
business, Mr. Mopes is engaged in buy- j
ing cotton for one of the oldest and most■
reliable houses in the country, amD
proposes to give the*best Augusta or J
Savannah prices for the same. “ Com- J
petition is the life of trade.” Andi
now, that there is competition in this
line’in Waynesboro’, our planters, truly,
would do well to “try this market,” be- j
fore going further. Verbum sat sapienti.
Postmaster General Crcswell ruled about a
year ago that newspapers co.dd only be sent j
through the mails to regular subscribers,!
but numbers of the New York Times are !
now sent to persons all over the country
who hare never asked for the same and
don’t want it. Giantism, it seems, can go
free.
The Value of Money.— The island,
of Manhattan on which New York city i
now stands, was bought by the Dutch i
from the Indians in IG2G for the tri-;
fling sum of $25. The assessed value of i
wealth on the island in 1872 is about j
$800,000,000, the real value is not less
than $2,000,000,000 and may be even
double this. Of course it will bo said
that the Dutch made a good investment
of their $25 and no doubt they did.
]3ut if that $25 had been put out at in
tercet at ten per cent, on the first of
October, 1620, and the interest itself
annually invested at ton per cent, also
the product on the first of October,
1872, would have been $2(5,5(50,179,-
962, or more than twenty-six thousand
million. This is three hundred times
as great as the assessed value of proper
ty in New York, and nearly as grtiat
as the estimated value of all the proper
ty in the United States.
MORNING.
llow many titAcs has my heart been
gladdened by the rising of the sun over
the hills of the old homestead, where
the corn and clover sparkled with the
dew, and the newly heated wheat nod
dud lazily to and fro in the enchanting
breeze, as spring and summer joined
hands for the coming harvest, I look
ed upon the broad fields with a proud
eye then, for I thought every speckled
corn-tassel and budding kernel gave
promise of much happiness. But as
the brightest morning may be darken
ed by the clouds that seemed so beauti
ful when far away, so our lives may be
shadowed by the approach of that
which was wont to dazzle our eyes with
its deceptive glory. But however dark
ly the gloom may gather, we know there
is always “sunshine above the mist.”
It is natural for us to look back upoD
our childhood and liken it to the morn
ing; because the horizon of our life has
never since seemed so blight, nor music
of the birds by the wayside so sweet,
nor the breath of the flowers so fragrant;
and our friends, unmasked of our chil
dish confidence by the noonday sun,
have never since proved so true.
There is always a charm hovering
over the morning, and its magical pre
sence lends beauty to everything wo see
or hear. Would you listen to music ?
It may be grand at night-—it is sub
lime in the morning. Would you know
a friend ? Meet him in the morning.
You will then find him more as Gon
made him than after the enchanted
hour has passed. Would you look upon
Niagara, or some old silvery browed
mountain ? Go while yet the darkness
lingers near, and see how they smile
upon the morning.
Glorious morning 1 We can almost
imagine heaven nearer as you approach;
for in heaven it is always morning.
In Trouble Again. —lt seems that
the troubles of that “pretty bully in
bombazine,” Laura Fair, did not end
with her acquittal. The other day in
San Francisco, after the adjournment
of a court wherein a case of hers against
her mother had just been determined,
she was followed by James L. Critten
den, sou of the man she killed, who
“looked very wicked,” and from his ac
tions evidently intended serving her as
she did his father. Her lawyer, who
was with her, interposed, and Laura
escaped Crittenden’s pistol. He told a
newspaper reporter afterwards that she
must leave the city, but Laura is game
and vows she won’t go until she is ready,
and that such demonstrations only in
cline her to tarry longer.
Strange Incident. —The Monroe
Advertiser chronicles the following: “On
Tuesday last, a negro boy, cn,ployed by
D. M. Elder, fourteen yearn of aye, was
burned so severely as to cause his death
in a short time. Ho was sent from a
cotton field by his mother to ascertain
the origin of a fire in an adjoining field,
and being absent longer than was thought
necessary, a negro girl was sent to as
certain why he was delayed. As she
approached he was observed running
wildly in a circle and screaming. On
being secured it was found that his
cotton under-clothing—heavy osnaburg
drawers and shirt—were burned from
his ankles to his neck, while his old
woolen pants and knit jacket were scarce
ly scorched. On removing his outer
clothing the skin peeled off from head
to foot, and on parts of his body the
flesh was roasted very deep. Dr. Har
rison was speedily summoned, but the
injury sustained was so serious that
every effort to relieve his sufferings
proved unavailing, and he died in a
short time.
Candidatesfok United States Sena
tor. —They are springing up thick as
hops; at least a large number of gentle
men have the credit of looking with
anxious eye on that high office. ’ (ren.
Gordon, Gen. Colquitt, I). II Hill, Gen.
Gartrell. Dr. Miller, Judge Underwood
and Gov. Smith, are a few whoso names
are mentioned in this connection,
The summit of Mount Washington,
in the White Mountains of New Hamp
shire, is a lit ole under six thousand five
hundred feet above the level of the sea.
The party of scientific observers who
wintered there last year experienced
the severity of an Arctic climate; yet,
according to Dr. J. W. Foster, in the
American Naturalist, there is a place
, called the Idaho Springs, in the Colora
do Mountains, eleven hundred and forty
two feet higher, where the cattle may
pass-the winter without shelter.
“Graphic” State or Existence.—
The first celebrated citizen of Arkansas
was Sandy Faulkner, better known as
tho “Arkansas traveler.” Ho still lives,
and is a clerk .at the Metropolitan
hotel, Littlo Rock. Tho following is
his last joke : “Mr. Faulkner,” said TANARUS,
“what kind of State government havo
you got nowf’ “Well, sir,” said tho
Arkansas traveler, “I reckon we aro
cussed with the worst passed of thieves
and trash ever sent out from oblivion
7 *
to Arkansas. They govern hero with a
high hand, if our lives are our own onr
money ain’t.”
The Wonders ok Lack-Making.—
The manufacture ot luce is carried to
its highest perfection in Belgium. The
finest specimens of Brussels la so com
plicated as to require the labor of seven
! persons on one piece, and cacti opera
tive is employed at distinct features
of the work. The thread used is of
exquisite fineness, which is spun in the
1 underground rooms, where it is suffi
ciently moist to prevent the thread from
separating. It is delicate as scarcely
' to be seen, and tbc room is so arranged
that all the light admitted shall fall
I upon the work. It is such material
that renders the genninc Brussels
ground so eo>tly.
! On a piece of Valenciennes, not two
yiclies wide, from two to three hundred
j bobbins are sometimes used, and for the
larger width as many as 800 on the
same pillow. The most valuable A al
| enoiennes is determined by the number
; of times the bobbins have been twisted
i in making the ground; the more fre
: quent the twists the clearer and more
beautiful will be the lace. Belgium
annually sells off this alone to the value
'of $4,000,000. Chantilly lacc is always
black, and used chiefly for veils and for
|*flounces. It is very fine, and extensi ve
|]y worn. Mechlin lace is made at
Mechlin, Antwerp and other localities.

J German Prejudice Against Pota
toes. —In Germany there exists a decid
ed prejudice against potatoes, "because
they aro composed of three-fourths wa
ter, with from ten to fifteen per cent,
stareli contained in indigestible colls.
The French, who make a perfect sci
ence of tho whole business of nourish
ment aud cookery rarely eat potatoes
except occasionally fried for the sccoud
breakfast. They consume beans more
than any other vegetables, and with rea
sons, for dried beans contain twenty
six per cent, of albumen and fifty-six
i of starch, and tho common lentils twen
j 7 .
! ty-six peV cent, of albumen and fifty-six
of starch. Tn the monasteries of France
and Italy great quantities of beans are
used, especially during the Lenten sea
son. German naturalists arc now
■ searching all over the world for a sub
! stituto for potatoes, and this is believed
to have, been found in China in the
disoseoren jnponica , which stands the
greatest cold, and is more nourishing
and bett r flavored than the potato. In
the Museum of Natural History at Pa
ris a specimen three feet long and weigh
ing three pounds was exhibited. Sevc
ral German writers upon the different
races predict that nations, far from im
proving, will deteriorate both in phy
sical and mental characteristics, if po
tatoes, become a principle article
of diet. Tho celebrated Carl Voigt
Bays “ that the unnourishing potato
does not restore the wasted tissues,
but . makes our proletariats physically
and mentally' weak.” Tho Holland
physiologist Mulder, gives the same
judgment, when he declares “ that the
excessive use of potatoes among the
poorer classes, and coffee arid tea by the
higher ranks,is the cause of the in
dolence of nations.” Leidenfrost also
maintains that the revolutions of the
last three centuries have been caused
by the changed nourishement. In for
mer days, the lowest workman ate more
‘flesh than now, when the cheap-potato
forms his principle subsistence, but give
to him no muscular or nervous strength.

\\J K ones move earnestly solicit the t*e<
v T Lion of our people to the enterprise fur
the erection of a monument in honor of the
Confederate Dead of Georgia and others who
were killed or died on Georgia soil. Tho time
for Lhei distribution is rapidly approaching.
It will take place in this city on the -Ith of
December next, Deo Volenle. There will
positively be no postponement. All sales
will atop on the 20th of November,' The
fate if this effort will be decided then. Our
[►eople will exhibit their gratitude for the
bloody sacrifices of their brave defenders,
or exhibit to the world their cold indiffer
ence. They will exhibit their pride or its
loss; their appreciation of those who fell In
service, or a disregard of the noMest sacri
fice which man can make for His own land,
his people and their homes.
We yet believe the spirits of the dead still
haunt the land they loved and for which
they (lied. We yet believe that those who
live in these haunts of love will substantially
provJKheir devotion to the dead “Soldiers
in Gray.’’ Hundreds, yea thousands upon
thousands, will wish to become shareholders
in the tribute to their lame between now and
tho 20th of November. We most resjiect
fully request them to reflect. Those thous
ands of names thrown upon us al the last
moment may so overw helm us as to make it
impossible to prepare all of their certificates,
record their names, mail them and prepare
the numbers for the drawing on the 4th of
December. Hence much money may be
necessarily returned, to the detriment of the
cause and their disappointment In the
chances at the distribution of the prizes
Let those, then, who have the means and
intend to contribute do so at once. If some
are not ready and must wait, let their con
tributions come as soon as they are able to
make them to tlm Agents in their locality,
or to this oilice. '
Have no feats of trickery, or fraud, or
speculation. Whatever may have happened
j in other schemes or sections, we havo an or
ganized Association, consisting of some of
our best citizens. An expose will be made
I of all that has been and will be done in con
nection with this enterprise. All will be
fair and honoiable.
If all the tickets ahull he sold, the amount
to be distributed will be in currency, one
hundred and thirty-one thousand dollars;
in real estate, ninety-nine thousand dollars;
in cotton, twenty thousand dollars, making
a grand total of two hundred and fifty thou
sand dollars.
If all the tickets are not sold the amount
lecei veil (after deducting the portion allotted
to the Monument, the commissions of the
Agents, and the sum required to defray tlm
necessary expenses), will be distributed
among the shareholders. Tho precedence
in this latter case will be given—Ist, to the
1,744 prizes in currency; 2d, to the real
estate; 3d, to the cotton.
We are pleased to state that expenses
have been much diminished by the liberality
of a portion of the newspapers, and the
boundless assistance rendered us free of
charge by the Southern Express C< mjmny
of this city.
Should any who have made, or may make,
voluntary donations to any amount, desire
to exchange their special tickets for others
which furnish' chances in the drawing, we
or our Agents, in this or other States, will
cheerfully comply with their wishes.
All orders promptly attended to.
