BB—mii'irif ■■ "'if m iwnitur—eaw— NATIONAL PRESS ASSOCIATION On our first page will bo found an article upon this subject,* by authority Georgia Press Association. In the early days of the Press it was only employed as a means of advertis ing ahd as'a record, or journal, of cur rent events, for the information of the people. In the course of time, how ever, a$ its usefulness and power were developed, it was applied to tlie discus sion and advancement of science, lite rature, and the arts, and to all the in dustrial pursuits of men; and lastly, and chiefly, to civil and political affairs of government—yet in no part of the ffOrld to the same extent, and with the Same influence, as in our own country. As its influence became still further known, and its power felt, it continu ously assumed a nn>rc authoritative tone, grasping still a wider field of action, until, at the present time, it not only molds but dictates public opinion ; and in the halls of legislation contests, with imperious sway, the law making power. In view of the mighty influence thus exercised,it becomes the high and sacred duty of every people and connnuuity, and of the Prose itself, to uphold its character and defend its progressive zeal. The cause of education has ever been earnestly advocated by this grand medium of intelligence--and futile have ever been the*attempts at associating ignorance and vice with learning and virtue. The former are dispelled by the infiuence of the Press as mists before the rising sun. And where tfSce and intelligence exist together, demagogism and selfishness are the basis, and the Press lias been bought to either be silent or defend them. The “Freedom of the Press”—the watchword of liberty—was once guarded very jealously by the government under which we live. Put now, .when “The wicked walk on every side, and the vilest men are exalted,” “Judgment is turped, away backward, and justice standeth afar off, for truth is fallen in the street, and equity cun not enter.”— And the abuse of the Press has been and is productive of very great evils. That . its restriction within wholesome limits should be enforced, not by a code to that eud, but by “a law unto itself” (ipcial,. if you please,) in the pleutitudc of its power and wisdom, wo believe to be essential to the advancement of morality, sociability, brotherly love, and all the inestimable good qualities that mold men for positions, not positions for men —which may be easily accomplished by the united efforts of well-ordered and wcll-eonduoted “venders of mingled in telligence aud truth” for the public good. Alas! that so great a number of the “lights of our country” should have fallen to the miserable depth of hypocrisy at which wo now behold them; their former glory bedimmed by the mists of olind passion and sordid im pulses. Such is really the character of many journals throughout our laud with a price. While we earnestly urge upon the people the obedience of laws, we can not lose sight of the fact that the writ ten constitution of the United States, the foundation of our government and embodiment of the fundamental prin ciples of all our laws, is a mere by-word and a reproach; and that the will of the people, through their representa tives, guided and restrained by the principles of the constitution, no longer govern the land, but the reckless will of a heedless, heartless,'selfish, and cor rupt Congress, regardless alike of all right, justice, hurnajity, and law, is now the governing power. It should, therefore, be the aim, the high ambi tion of the Press to aid with all its might in bringing the government back to the old land-marks of the constitu tion of our fathers. “In the multitude of counsellors there is safety,” and “in union there is strength.” Our voice, then, is for a National Union —for in that we shall have national strength. The Rev. I)War Talmadge says : j “I now declare that 1 consider the news* 1 papers to be the grand agency by which | the Gospel is preached, iguoruncc is cast' out. oppression dethroned, crime extir psted. the world raised, heaven rejoiced, and God glorified. In the clanking of the printing press, ns the she 'ts fly out, I hear the voice of the Loud Ai.miuiity proclaiming to the nnMons of the earth, ‘Lazarus, come forth!’ and to the retir ing surges of darkness, ‘Let there bo light!”’ Let light—the softening light of in telligence, truth, justice—glorious light —by the combined effort and influence of the Press of tho Union, pervade the dark riocsses of our country, and be enthroned where vice in regal robes has usurped so long. j. E. F. How the New York Cotton Market is Controlled. It seems that members of tho New York Cotton Exchange who may be in terested in changing the market prices are habit of combining to make lieticious sales of cotton for that pur pose. The manner and effect of those fraudulent operations by which the cot ton market of the entire country is af fected, is thus stated by the Journal of Commerce: ‘ Dealers in the combination agree with each other, soli and buy a certain number of bales at a certain figure above or below the market price, ac cording as they intend to bull or bear the market. The contracts are then handed to the superintendent of the Exchange to be stamped and reported on the sales bulletin. The superin tendent has no means of learning wheth er the sales so reported arc true or fic titious. And the reports of these ficti tious sales do influence the market for or against actual buyers and sellers.” Whcu the Cotton Exchange was form ed its liability to this sort of imposition was foreseen and in order to prevent such frauds a clause was inserted in the by-laws declaring that “any mem ber who shall be convicted of reporting false sales shall be expelled.” Notwith standing this by-law, it seems that false sales have been reported, but no con viction in any instance has followed, for the reason that the parties to such sales Would not divulge the fraudulent character of the transaction. With a view to meet these cases and protect honest dealers, a meeting of the Cotton Exchange was convened on Monday last to consider an amendment to the by-laws, declaring that a reward of $250 shall be paid to any member who shall give such information of’a ficti tious transaction ns should lead to a conviction under the by laws. A spirited discus-ion arose between the friends and opponents of the meas ure, the latter maintaining that the amendment was objectionable on the ground that “it would tend to show a want of confidence among the members, and to discredit the integrity of the Exchange.” After a protracted de bate which showed that the majority of the members were opposed to the re ward system, the whole subject was re turned to the board of managers for re vision. This fraudulent practice of making fictitious sales of cotton which are quot ed by the Exchange, mid disseminated over the country by telegraph, as rul ing prices in New York, will cxplaiu tho otherwise unaccountable fluctua tions in that market, so damaging to the interests of Sew thorn buyers and producers. Somkthinq Nkw Under ihk Sun.—A new era is dawning upon the life of women. Hithorio she has bfcen called upon to suffer the ills of mankind and her own besides. The froquont and distress ing irregularities peculiar to her sex have long been to her tho “direful spring of woes unnum bered."' In the mansion of the rich and in the hovel of poverty alike woman has been the eod stant yet patient viotim of a thousand ills un known U> man— and these without a remedy.~ “Oh, LoRUt how long!” in the agony of her soul hath sho cried Hut now the hour of her re demption is come.

The robust, mother nurses one; the other three take heartily to the bot tle. The children are of average size. The parents are very poor, and had five children living when these quadruples were born. ♦ m • Colonel Henry E. Peyton, of Lou doun, formerly of Geu. it. PI. Lee’s staff, was one of the Virginia represen tatives to the Farmer’s Congress, which met at Indianapolis, Indiana, last month.. Speaking of the discussion in regard to the place for holding the next annual session—there being eight cities contesting for the honor—the Indianapolis Sentinel says : “Colonel Peyton, of Virginia, spoke in behalf of Atlanta, Ga., making a speech the most delicate and beautiful in spirit, and the most polished in style, perhaps, of atfy oh this occasion. 1 The vote for Atlnnta unanimous.” [From the New York Herald.] (VESAHIriM. THE SHADOW Of AMERICAN IM PERIALISM. The nations of the world are so closely bound together, that, what nffeots one will in many ways affect another. It is impossible to have social and commer cial relations with countries like France and Germany and Spain and not in some way be controlled by the political emotions and agitations which sweep over them. Tho wa r ngainst Church influence ir. Germany is a problem that had not been without a parallel in our own local history, and many gloomy* minded prophets still think that there will be even graver religious complica tions in the future. Spain is wrestling with that same spirit of slavery and slave-holding arrogance which compelled us to sacrifice so much blood and treas ure in its overthrow, while there are problems in Franco now in process of solution which may well demand bur gravest attention, and from which we may learn lessous of wisdom. Although wo know so much more of all that is needful iu politics and natural economy than any other people, there is much to be learned from those warm, subtle countries of the South. In the North wo see the lusty, vigorous and valiant Russian and German aud Saxon. History shows what they have done iu war and conquest. -We do not venture to think what is still possible to them after Sadowa aud Sedan. Dut in the fiucr elemcuts of character—the subtle qualities of statesmanship and progress the world has learned nothing since the time of Machiavelli. In literature, art,politieal economy, the laws of finance and trade, architecture, music,what, have we learned in the North ? What have we that has not come from the South? Two mighty names, the shadow of whose genius rests upon the world like an au rora—Shakespeare and Goethe—come from the North ; but. it is the North as moulded and tinted by centuries of Southern taste and light. When we see what we sec in Spain and Frauee and Italy, it is well to pause and apply to our own conditions of national life the problems there seeking solution.— We may in the future have to undergo even more exhausting struggles unless we build wisely now. It is so much easier to build than to rebuild. The Spaniards aud Frenchmen of to day are in the throes of social and political agony to undo what was vainly done by their fathers. No similar problems op press u, for with us every problem is solved by the prodigious wealth and richness of our soil—the vast sections of unimproved land awaiting the ©mi grant,, the readiness with which wealth is gained. Rut there was a time when land was free to the people of the Med iterranean, when money was earned easily, when society had no vexing, heartrending problems; and so far as richness of soil is concerned, we have ucver surpassed France in our harvests, nor Spain in the variety of our mineral wealth. And what these Mediterra nean countries see may in time come home to us. What is tin; question in Spain and Franoe ? As we understand it, simply this: How best can Spaniards and Frenchmen rule their native l .nds, curing to all life, liberty and the pur suit of happiness? How best can there be a genuine republican form of govern ment? What is the question iu the i United States ? No more nor less than this : Shall we have a republican form of government ? We dismiss from con sideration all sentimental and fantastic questions of politics. It is not whether we shall have protection or free trade, suffrage to one class or another, central ization or State rights. These ques tions will determine themselves. But shall we have a republican form of gov ernment? The thought in the minds of our politicians is: Shall we nominate General Grant for a third time ? It is true the thought has not found general expression. It is spoken, if at all, with* bated breath and whispering humble ness. An occasional worshipper of power announces in a truculent manner that wo have found anew Washington and we must keep him. Some of the enemies of General Grant insist in a mocking way that he shall be at once nominated. But there is no general expression on the subject. The want of this expression is a grave indication. Suppose Mr. Johnson, or Gen. Pierce, or Mr. Buchannan had either of them been mentioned as a candidate for three terms, how promptly we should have been told the liberties of the country were iu danger! Now wo hear no sound. Nothing is clearer than that the hench men of General Grant, the men who i have gained honor and wealth out of| his administration, and who see in his renomination and re-election their own ; continuance in power, mean to insist ' j upon his renomination. The arguments j ! are all at hand : we are doing so well,: j the business of the country needs so j i much tranquility, the South is so rest- ! less in the absence of a firm hand, Gen- j eral Grant has been so admirable, and 60 on, that we can not run the risk of j new experiments. This is so much more probable be cause. as we have shown before, the political situation if. iu the bands of General Grant. IJo is as completely njaster as was ever, Jefferson, Jacloson. i or Lincoln. Never was a President so J ,1-ttbmissivcly obeyed.* Nfvrr wf'.f{Huffy ko dominant. Every department of the government, nearly every large State, the army, tho navy, the bench—even this great State, and still greater me tropolis, which stood all the assaults of Lincoln when in the fulness and glory of 'triumphant war—all, all are in the hands of his followers. And not ono of those men has ventured to speak what l.c would have spoken a few years ago about tho question of a third term. We are told it is not a living question, that tho time for its discussion has not come, that it would be a rejection upon General Grant to suppose him iu any way ambitious of a renominution. But to say this is not u living issue is to say what is not true. Home had no more living issue than when, on the Lupcrcal, Mark Antony offered the kingly crown to Julius Caesar. And the men who in authority under General Grant are many of them as eager to do him honor as wore the shouting Romans who surrounded Cicsar in his triumphs. And as we believe that great events are not the works of mere men, but of social and political conditions which daring uien ofttimes seize, so do wc sec u r ound us many of the elements favor able to Cmsnristn. Luxury, sudden wealth, the spirit of speculation, the loose moral tone which superinduced Tammany Hall. Credit Mebilier, reve nue frauds and the extraordinary legis lation in the last Congress; tho rending asunder by the civil war of old conser vative ties, the military spirit, the cra ving for show and noise—all these signs, apparent everywhere, aro precisely what was seen in Rome when Augustus Cae sar, under the deceptive name of Impel’- ator, overthrew the Republic, This question, what we may call Cre sarism, that threatens to come to us in America, is uow being rcttlcd in France and Spain—sadly, we fear, and with disaster and deep wounding of tho ra tional pride. We have seen what France has done—how eke swung from the sway of Thiers to Ma-Mahon—aud scarcely a ripple on the political surface. Could we have done as much ? Could our form of Government have made as sudden a change without wrentebing the whole system, and, perhaps giving it a fatal wound? Supposo Mr. Johnson had been as popular a man a3 Mr. Thiers, with all the powers of the gov ernment at his command, could we have avoided any fate he chose for us ? Mr. Johuson was our most unpopular Presi dent. He vetoed more acts of Congress than the other Presidents all combined. He was opposed by both bouses of Con gress, and had no following in either party. And yet his impeachment was impossible. Suppose Mr. Johnson to have been as strong as Mr. Thiers in France, or President Grant now, he could, we fear, have dealt our Republic as severe a blow as the Caesars dealt the Republic of Rome. The evil lies in our Constitution. Perfect as we re ! gnrd that instrument, we cannot do | what Spain has done—what France is i doing. Spain dismisses her King France ! her President, and the forms of the I constitution were unimpaired. To dis -1 miss our President would be a revolu i tion. Aiid while no one cares to dis | miss him, we see ourselves drifting upon , the rock of Csesaristn—smoifchly, pleas | antly, silently, swiftly drifting upon a I danger even greater than what menaced 'Spain or Fiance. We mean tire third j term idea, * which to our mind affects | our Republic as gravely as the Repub j lie of Rome was affected when Julius I Ctesar was offered the crown by subser vient Senators. Nor will the question be solved by any action of Gen. Grant. We neither speak for the President nor criticise him. Personally be docs not enter into this discussion. lie might say to-mor row that lie would, under no circumstan ces, accept a nomination, just as he once ! said bo did not believe in second terms. That would postpone, not eradicate the danger. No system is sound, nor are people really free, who depend upon the patriotism of one man for freedom. We remember that the crown was thrice offered on Lupereal, and that, although thrice refused, each time it was with I less and less reluctaucc. And we can name twenty Mark Autonys in our city who would carry the crowu of a third nomination to Gen. Grant with pride and swiftness. We must meet Cre s a- aism now, not by postponing this ques tion, out of deference to the feelings of General Grant, but by meeting it, dis cussing it and searching public opinion. If our public men have no views on the subject, or are silent and non-commit tal, we must educate them also. Hav ing done this, we come to the next step —tiie prom-ulgatiou of ari amendment | to the Constitution making the Presi dent’s office more amenable to the pop ular will. What the exact terms of such amendment should be must be considered gravely. As for General Grant, as we have before remarked, he has a perilous stake. If lie should be renominated, and win, bo will bo re membered .with those daring, ambitious men, like Caesar and Napoleon, who preferred their own gain to t,ho national liberties. If lie should be renominated, and lose, he will be remembered in our history with Arnold and Burr, as men who permitted ambition to woo them to dishonor and shame. Beyond this, the people must gravely consider whe ther they arc really free when contin geupies like this can be seriously dis cussed—whether, with all our wealth and power, wc are as free as France and Spain. m i GEORGIA NEWS. ’Crops in Whitfield county aro re markably line.

The Ni w Orleans Picayune announc es the death of Mrs. Eliza Crisp, which occurred at Waco, Texas, on the 25th ult. The deceased for many years oc cupied a prominent position among the “a‘ars” on the American stage. She was born in Portsmouth, England,' in 1817, and was at the time of her death fifty-six years of age. Mrs. Crisp was the wife of Capt. W. fl. Crisp, so well known as an accomplished and active theatrical.” Albany will hardly ever ..retrograde in point of prosperity. It is foolish to expect it to spring up at once to the proportions of Chicago or other large cities, and it is equally as foolish in those who cry it down on tli3t account. Individual fortunes are not unde in a day, neither aro large cities built up in a day. Albany has steadily, and v.e may sav, rapidly, increased in wealth and population since the closo of the war.

The State of Louisiana, at the end of the war, was in debt seven millions of dollars. On the first of last January the bonded debt was $’21,801,800; the miscellaneous debts $2.282,447; the contingent debt, which the State will probably have to pay, $5,483,602. The whole indebtedness will not fall far short of forty millions of dollars. That lias been the result, of the rule of War moth, Kellogg, and their colleagues.— Throe of the Southern States, of which. Louisiana is one, are drifting inevitably into either repudiation or bankruptcy. The Raleigh, N. C., Sentinel, discuss ing the abuse of power by the Radical party iu the South, says: ‘ Look at this State. What is her condition ? Our University dead, our common schools almost dead. Shame upon the men who did it. So far from resusci tating, they have blasted; so far from extending the blessings of education, they have curtailed them. In South Carolina, Grantites cither squandered or stole the common sohool fund, so that there arc but few schools in operation. In poor Louisiana they have done worse —they have abolished the “freo school fund.” But this is enough. We see how unfaithful they have been to the people—how untrue to their own pro mises.
