( A NATIONAL PRESS CON VENTION. Important ltcsoluiions liinni inously Adopted by tlio Geor gia Press Association. Mi. 11. L. Rodgers, of the Sanders ville Herald , presented the following preamble and resolutions, and after some interesting discussion, Col. Peeples moved that they be referred to a Com mittee. KKMARKS OK MU RODGERS. Mr. President and Gentlemen of the Convention: —l propose to submit for your consideration, a Preamble and series of Resolutions, touching upon a matter I am constrained to regard as of great importance to the interests of jour nalism throughout the eutire country. In every other interest in this country until of effort seems to be sought after to secure the most complete success for the ends had in view. We have vast railway combinations controlling the legislation, and shaping the policy of States, and even attempting to give direction to the affairs of the nation.— Capital, iu itself a vast power, never acts, save through the resistless machi nery of combination. In a word, no movement seeking to accomplish impor tant results, is put in the field, until made respectable and influential, by the all potent agency of association. The Tress of the country presents the only exception to a rule so salutary, and so largely productive of great re sults. It occurs to me, air, in view of tlic recent hostile legislation of upon the newspaper question, the re fusal of our own Legislature to pay even the small courtesy of referring to a committee, a memorial from the jour nalists of the State, seeking relief from an onerous and an unusual law injuri ously affecting their interests; the fre quent intemperate and abusive attacks made upon the Press of the whole coun try, by prominent and influential Sena tors,’mid members of the lower House of Coiißres--, the time has come for the o ' members of our noble craft throughout the land to combine not only for their protection, but for the far grander and lof ier purpose of making the great power they unquestionably posse s avail able for the protection of constitutional liberty from the encroachments and usurpations of greedy and unscrupulous power. The father of his country, in a letter to Mathew Carov, once said, “For my self I entertain .a high opinion of the utility of periodical publications. I con sider such easy vehicles of knowledge, more happily calculated than any other to preserve the liberty, stimulate the industry, and meliorate the morals ofau enlightcued and free people.” That our own interests may be pro tected and promoted ; that the priceless boon of liberty, of which we should be the peculiar guardians, may be retained by us, and handed down all unimpair ed, to our children, it is important that the vast power of the Press, now diffus ed through a thousand channels, should be combined into one volume of strength and force. To sucuro an end, at once so desir able and so easy of attainment, and so far reaching in its boneficcnt results, I offer the following resolutions. PREAMBLE AND RESOLUTIONS. Whereas, It has been tho custom, the “time whereof the memory of man runneth not to the contrary,” to allow the free transmission, through the mails, of printed journals in exchange with each other, and it has also been until a recent date, the immemorial custom in this State to exempt from taxation, the printing material of every newspaper; and, Whereas, We regard the action of tho General Assembly of Georgia, in levying a tax upon printing material in this State, and that of Congress, ju re “8 ALU 9 POPULI BUPREMA LEX ESTO.” WAYNESBORO’, GA., THURSDAY, JULY 17, 1873. quiring the payment of postage on ex changes, as invading the immunities of the Press of tlio country, and that such is uot promotive of the best interests of the people, does not accord with tlio true principles of republican govern ment, and is adverse to the general wclfaro of the country. Whereas, We believe the custom was salutary, and we hold, that the freedom of the Press is synonymous with the liberty of the people, and that such acts as referred to are unsouud in policy, in that they serve to embarrass the Press, and deprive the people of ao extense diffusion of news, and of a geu. eral dissemination of useful intelligence and Whereas, The recent legislation of Congress has deprived ti e Press of some of its most valued and valuable privil eges, which fact must be taken as a de claration of war against the whole “fourth estate” by that department of the government, and that, actuated by a principle of self-preservation, we must unite and prepare to ’.fend from fur ther aggression the last remaining bul wark of a free people, a free and un trammeled Press. And Whereas, Believing that in “union there is strength,” and “Where no coun sel is the people fall, but in the multi tude of counselors there is safety,” the necessity of united action by the Press of the country becomes apparent, and as a complete remedy for existing evils, and to oppose the further inroads of oppression, we propose the formation of a National Press Association for the United States. Therefore, be it l.'t Resolved , That the President of this Association appoint a committee of five members thereof, to confer with the officers of other State Associations and with prominent (and leading) journ alists throughout the Union, for the purpose of forming a National Pres- Association 2d Resolved, That such Committee be authorized, in behalf of this Associa tion, to take all necessary steps for the formation of such an Association as above mentioned, aud that said Com mittee be required to report the result of their action to the President, at the earliest practicable period, who shall thereupon immediately call a meeting of the Association, to consider tlic same and appoint delegates to such National Convention od Resolved , That tho object ot this movement is to promote the varied in terests of tho whole people, the general welfare of the country, the dissemina tion of knowledge, to resist the encroach ments of power, and for the preserva tion of constitutional libert3". 4th Resolved, That we recognize the rights, and the power of the people, that we respect their will, aud we ear nestly invoke their aid and encourage ment to the efforts of the Press to pre serve constitutional government and civil liberty. A French gentleman learning En glish to some purpose, replied thus to the salutatioua: “How do you do, monsieur ?” “Do vat?” “How do you find yourself?” “I never loses myself?” “How do you feel ?” “Smooth; you just feel me.” “Good morning mousieur !” “Good ! No, it's a bad odc ; it’s vet and nasty.” A Cincinnati man disappointed in not securing a mail agency, says he made a mistake in not joining Mosb) s guerilla gang at the breaking out of the war. There are more in tho same fix, if they bad the courage to acknowledge the truth. ■. m - Pickpockets do not enjoy life in Cal ifornia. An old “bull whacker” felt a strange hand in his pocket there recent ly, and, pulling his penknife, with a blade that weighed a pound, cut off the man's hand at the wrist and threw it after him, with the advice to “put it in whiskey where it would keep.” Don’t Kell lily lailicr Rum. Don't soil another drink, please! He’s reeling already yeu see, And I fear when lie comes home to-night, He'll beat, my poor mother and me ; She’s waiting in darkness mid cold. And dreading to hear him come ; He treats us so bad when lie’s drunk— Oh! don’t sell him any more nun. 1 heard my mother praying last night— Rho thought l was qnito seund asleep ; She prayed fion her husband to save, His soul from temptation to keep. She cried like her poor heart would break; So trying to comfort her some, I told her I'd bog you to-day Not to soil father any more rum. Why don’t you have something to sell That won’t make people so sad ; That will not make dear mother grieve, And kind father cruel and Dad 1 Ah, me! it is hard, and I see • You are angry because I have come : Forgive a poor, sad little girl, And don’t sell her father rum ! ENJOY TIIE PRESENT. It conduces much to our content if we pass by those things which happen to our trouble, a:.d cousider what is pleasing and prosperous, that by the representation of the better the worse may be blotted out. If I be overthrown in my suit at. Jay, yet ifiy horse is left mo still and my land; or I have a virtu ous wife, or hopeful children, or kind friends, or good hopes. If I have lost one child, it may be I have two or three still left me. Enjoy the present, what soever it may be. and be not solicitous for the future ; for if you take your foot from the present standing, and thrust it forward to to-morow’s event, you are in a restless condition; it is like refusing to quench your present thirst by fearing you will want drink the next day. If to morrow you should want, your sorrow would come timo enough, though you do not hasten it; let your trouble tarry till its own day comes. Enjoy the blessings of this day if God sends them, and the evils of it bear patiently and sweetly, for this day is ours. We are dead to yesterday, and not yet born 1o the morrow. Exchange. Souse of J. Biiiintfs' Points. A gentleman iz a gentleman the world over—loafers differ. Benevolence iz the cream that rises on the milk of human kiudness. Courage without discretion iz a ram with horns on both ends—he will havf more fites on hand than he cun attend to. Hunting after happiuess iz like hunt ing after a lost sheep in the wilderness; when you find it, the chances are that it iz a skeleton. A dog iz the only animal kritter j who luvs yu more then he does himself, j There iz no more satisfaction in lay ing up in yure hnzzum an injury than i they is in stuffing a dead hornet who has stung yu, and keep him tew look at. Old friends are like old cheese, the strongest. Lies are like illegitimate children— They aru liable tew call a man 'father 1 when he least expekts it. If we would all ov us take kere ov | our own souls, and let our nabers alone there would be less time lost aud more souls saved. Before I would preach the gospel as sum ministers are obliged to, for $450 dollars a year, I would get a livin as Nebuckednezzer did, and let the con gregashun go to grass too. Contentment iz tiie vittles and drink of the soul. Did you ever hear a son brag about bis father, whose father could with jus tice brag about his son ? The fastes kind ov faith I do kno ov iz humanity. The mau who never made enny mis takes, iz like tho angle-worm, never gets fur away from his hole. A brilliant blunder in a writer iz of ten ope ov bis best bits. The Sign* of IVliMlne*4* in Dogs. The British Medical Journal calls atten tion to the measures recommended bytho | Council of Hygiene of Bordeaux, fof the 1 better protection of people against the dangersof hydrophobia. It is well known that the madness of dogs has a period which is premonitory and harmless. If these periods wero generally known, the dogs could be put out of the way bofore they became dangerous. On this sub ject tlio Council of Hygiene has issued | the following instructions : A short time, sometimes two days, after madness has seized a dog, it crc- i stes symptoms in the animal which it \ is indispensiblc to recognize. 1. There is agitation and restlessness, ! and the dog turns himself continually ( in his kennel. If he be at liberty, he j goes and comes, and seems to bo seek ing something; then he remains motion less, as if waiting; then ho starts, and bites the air, as if he would catch a fly, and dashes himself howling and barking against tlio wall. The voice of his master dissipates these hallucinations ; the dog obeys, but slowly, with hesita tion, as if with regret. 2. Ho does not try to bite; he is gentle, even affectionate, and he eats and drinks, but gnaws bis litter, ends of curtains, the padding of cushions, the coverlids of tho beds, carpets, etcu 3. By the movement of his paws about the sides of his open meuth, one might think he was trying to free his throat from a bone. 4. Ilis voice undergoes such a change that it is impossible not to be struck by it. 5. The dog begius to fight with other dogs. This is a decidedly characteristic sign, if the dog be generally peaceful. The three symptoms last mentioned indicate an advanced period of the dis ease, and that the dog may become dan gerous at any moment, if immediate measures are not taken. It is best to chain him up at once, or, better still, to kill him. The Boston Medical and Sur gical Journal suggests that this advice be inserted at least once a year in the pubi c papers. It would seem partic ularly desirable and practicable that these rules should be printed on the back of the notices and receipts for dog taxes. These excellent measures ought to be generally adopted. A Feeling: Tribute. A Philadelphia editor thus relieves his mind on a subject familiar to all newspaper offices—the inevitable Pub. Doc.: “We owe our thanks to .Judge Kelley for the latest Patent Office re ports. We already have sixteen hun dred of these interesting volumes in our little library, but they have been read and re-read so many times that we know every page of them by heart. This new volume came opportunely and grate fully on Christmas morning, aud that night we gathered our little family around the fire and road it through to them. The effeoting tale entitled 'lm provement iu Monkey Wrenches,’ seem ed to touch every heart, and when we came to the climax of the little story about ‘Reversible Pic-boards,’ there was not a dry eye between the front door aDd the stable. During the rending of the pitoous narrative entitled ‘Gum Washers for Carriage Axles,’ the wholo family gav c expression to boisterous emotion, and the hired girl was so ex cited that she lost her presence of mind, and went around to her mother’s inad vertently with six pounds of sugar and a butter kettle full of flour, and camo home at midnight intoxicated. We jan never sufficiently thank Judge Kel ley for the innocent enjoyment thus furnished u. The memory of that happy evening will linger in our minds very much longer than that hired girl ever lingers when she lights on a lot of substance which she thinks will suit the constitution of her aged parents.” RULES FOR LEGAL ADVERTISING: Salts of land, etc., by Administrators, Executors, or Ouaidians arr requirifl by laic to ht held on lAc first Tuesday in tlit nninfi, between the twurs eg ten in the forenoon und thrie in the qfl'rnoon, at (&• court house in the rounsy in which the properfk is situated.

Colors for Druggists' Shovr Bottles. The Druggist's Circular suggests the following :—Forywa, a solution of the nitrate nr chloride of nickel in water will be found satisfactory; or sulphate of copper two ounces, water 1 pint, and bichremate of potash 1 drachm, or a* much as may he sufficient. For blot, dissolve sulphate of copper in water, and supersaturate with solution of am monia ; or dissolve indigo in sulphuric acid and add water. For red, add sulphuric acid to bichromate of potash, and jlecant; or dissolve carmine in li quor of ammonia and dilute For yel low, a solution of bichromate of potash in water is often used; or a dilated solution of the se>quioxide of iron io hydrochloric acid. For purpU, add sulphate of indigo neutralized with chalk to an infusion of cochineal, till the requisite color is attained, or add to the first blue given above a pint made by adding sesquicarbonate of ammonia to a solution of chloride of cobalt.— There is no necessity for our giving any proportions for the above, as these are to be dependent on the color required. It is better always to filter after the solu tions have stood for twenty-four hours. Use pure water. All the above colors are durable—the purple perhaps least so. The second purple will probably be found the most permanent. All Hands Below. A good story is told of a parrot who had always lived on board of ship, but escaped at one of the Southern ports and took refuge in a church. Soon af terwards, when the congregation assem bled, and the minister began preaching in his earnest fashion, saying there was no virtue in them—that every one of them would go to endless punishment unless they spcedly repented. Just as he spoke the sentence, up spoke the par rot from his hiding place. “All hands below !” To say “all hands” were startled would be a mild way of painting it. The peculiar voice and unknown source had much more effect on them than the par son’s voice ever had. He waited a mo ment and then, a shade or two paler, ho repeated tho warning. “All hands below!” ngain rang out from somewhere. The preacher started from his pulpit and locked anxiously around, inquiring if anybody had spoke. “All hands!” was the only reply, at which the entire panic-stricken congre gation got up, and a moment afterward they all bolted for the doors, thepreaoh er trying to be the first; and during the time the mischievous bird kept up his yelling: , “Alt hands below !” There was one old woman present who was lama, and could not go out as fust as the rest, and in a short time she was left alone. Just as she was about to hobble out, the parrot flew down, and alighting on her shoulder, yelled in her ear r “All hands below !” “No, no, Mister Devil!” shrieked the old woman; you can’t mean me. I don’t belong here; I go to the church across the way.” Tourists arc invite! to Mexico by the Two Republics , which paper declares that the climate, both in winter and summer in that oountry, is far prefer* able to the climate of Europe, and while the attractions of art and civilization do not compare with those of the Old World, still the traveler has a land of romance; historic grounds abound in all t: eir varieties, and the enchanted scenes and romantic events of the old Aztec Empire, and the chivalry of the conquistadores, of which Prescott wrote, will rise before him, and call vividly to life the thoughts and reveries that were created by that distinguished author, Each year more Amerioans visit Mexico, and thus the tics between the two conn tries are becoming closer, A summer jaunt to the uplands of Mexico is among the most delightful ways of spending a few months,
