To tny mercantile friends In tho city of
Macon wit It wham I have been associated
for many years past, I make this persona!
appeal for their patronage. The circula
tion of thie paper will already umplyjustify
their advertising in it.
Having gained a thorough knowledge by
experience of the kind of intelligence they
wisii in a daily journal a special effort
will be made to publish comprehensive,
clear and correct reports of markets, the
state of trade and of finance. There is
scarcely Anything more dear to me than
th prosperity of tho city of Macon, and '
this paper whilst under its present manage
meut, will b ever ready to advance every
thing to that end.
In order?to successfully carry forward
this enterprise to that point contemplated,
it is of the first importance to have the
patronage of the live business men of the
city. 11. C. S.
Since the above was wiitlcn many new
ndvei tisotnents have been sent to the office
that we find it impossible to get them all
into this issue. For this hearty uud sub
slantial token of appreciation the sinccrest
thanks are returned by the Proprietors.
Om News.—A. Dr. Hammond has just
found out that Train is insane. We thought
the world feuew that ten yeais ago. It is
hoped thut he will now he lodged In a
Lunatic Asylum where hu should have
been sunt long since.
Tbk Fbkkdman'h Bavino Hank. —Tho
Washington Chronicle says (tint in the
run upon this Unuk, $280,000 were drawn
out the first, 05,000 the second ami 50,000
the third duy. Thu darkies who had been
depositing in it, got mortally frightened
aloud its condition and licucc went for it
as above. Hut nl last accounts It was pay
ing up all w ho called, from which \vr sup
pose tho concern is solveut.
Tuk sails of our ship are not jet prop
eily trimmed, or its batteries iu position It
is not unlike tho muu-of war which puts
to sea without having first completely leg
ulnlcd every thing on board. Hut nil iinmk
nre working night and day to tho end that
every thing will be “ snug alow sod nlofV'
at tUa earliest moment possible. The light
ning and tlg gale, the breakers, and the
reefs, will come, but we trust not before
we are prepared to successfully meet them.

All the money wo pay out here for pro
visions iu the north west,by no means finds
its way into the pockets of the farmers of
that country. Take a busbdofeorn w hich
costs s dollar iu Macon to-day, trace it
hack ts the producer, and you will Uud he
did not receive exceeding lifieen cents for
it. They are the poorest poopls really we
ever saw as a class. The railroads own
them body and soul.
—-w
T*k Cubans. —And yet there it uo end
of the war iu Cuba. Every week or
two there is a battle, always followed by
a Spanish bulletin that a brilliant victory
had been obtained, w ith now aud then a
dispatch from Madrid that fresh battalions
were about to leave to reinforce tho loyal
army. They are both generally destitute
•f truth, especially the last, for tho pres
ent government of Bpaln ueeds all tins sol
diers it can raise to put down insurrections
at boms, and more besides.
We hope the Culnm* will succeed iu
throwing off ths yoks of the rotten old
country It is totally incompetent to
govern anybody ; it can't govern Spain
much less any foreign country.
('oliimblu
This question is hu insult to common
intelligence and yet to this day it is asked,
and even a book lias been issued to set
tle the matter. Why not ask >vlio
burned every i air;ted house from Chatta
nooga to Favannah, from Suvnunuh to
Goldsborough f The question would be
equally proper. Hut whilst these ques
tions are in order why not ask who was
the incarnate fiend who drove the preg
irniit women, the helpless babes, the aged ,
sick and decrepid citizens of Atlanta forth
from their homes and then set their houses
on (ire ?
Hush ! Let the veil of oblivion obscure
total depravity, let us thiuk there is no one
ao low that there is not a spark of the
angel in hint, but whoever read ths savage
order or saw the melancholy processiou
as it filed out of Atlanta, or as it cauie
into Gen. Hood's lines will ever forget it
or ever forgive the inhuman monster,
W. T. Sherman ? Sherman's history is
yet to be written aud—
A thousand rears from now,
Admiring demons will read his
Deeds by ths blazing light of hell.
To City fciuberrlbor*.
We have revolutionized the system of
delivering our city editiou by throwing it
into two divisions instead offive as hereto
fore. Consequently some confusion is
expected this morning. Information in re
gard to the reception of ths paper is re
quested to be sent to the office of publica
tion, when ail errors will be promptly cor
rected.

Haute Torch Against Will. —The
Kellogg government of Louisiana, com
posed of ignorners and knavery, has no
! Other virtue than that of bciug suppoitcd
by the brute force of the federal author!*
| tics of Washington It is composed of
corn field darkies, with here aud there a
! mulatto or a down east impecunious sharp
nosed carpet-bagger, who furnish all the
sharpness the tiling cofilains. It
I rise to tho dignity of brains, is best known
in Hoston as “shrewdness," but in the
Mouth is designated by the comprehensive
title of rascality. This thing has essayed
to levy taxes upon the people of Louisiana,
which the real lax payers of Louisiana
have refused to pay. They have passed
laws and went through other forms of
legislation which finding that no citizen
will obey, have called upon “the army
uud navy of the United Stated" to enforce
The army aud navy aforesaid have carried
out their decrees to the extent of killing
one man iu New Orleans. Hut they have
as yet collected no money*.
The writer hereof expresses regret st,
seeing his somelihies friend, Geu. James
Longstrect, leagued with ibis baud of
common thieves, plundeuus, outlaws and
scoundrels, lie wonders if the very bones
of his venerated uncle, Judge Longstrect,
and the fifty thousand Confederate soldiers
who fell under his standard, do not rattle
iu their coffins at his base ingratitude.
Tho Public Peril—What; Monopolies
are Doing-
The action of State Legislatures, the
popular assemblages, the combination
among merchants, the organization ot
farmers' clubs throughout the West, are
all significant indications of the growing
restlessness of the people under the exac
tions and unjust discriminations of ra.il
roud combinations. The consolidation or
union lines iu order to faclliate travel and
prevent the delay jo apt to occur where
there is diverse management is a result
every way desirable. The <1 -r and more
harmonious arrangements become between
the multitudes of companies organized in
every Htate, the better for the shipper, for
the traveler, tor tho prompt transmission
of the mails, aud. for the operations ot
trade. It is not such thut excite the peo
ple and arouse the clamor that is heard so
generally through the country. It is the
consolidations ot l ead* so as to defeat com
petition, to sustain exhorbitunt prices for
travel and Height, the unjust discrimlna*
tions by which way freights nre compelled
to hear burdens out of all proportion to
the service rendered and the distance trav
eled, that create so much feeling. The
' combination of great lines by which they
ara virtually made one, controlled by a
single animating spirit, establishing prices
that if they do not place an embargo up
on a large amount of trade, come so near
absorbing all the profits of production as
to make many wish that that they were
abated as nuisances.— HWt. Chronicle.
True, very true, every word of it. And
we wonder if this great radical paper can
appreciate that grand sentiment of the im
mortal Andrew Jackson : “The constant
tendency of government is to drift from
the hands of the many into that of the few."
110 was not speaking of railroads but the
sentiment will apply to them as well, for
we now see the second State of the Union,
Pennsylvania, under the control of u rail
road fellow by the name of Scott, an un
scrupulous, illiterate man, wtfo slops at
nothing in the way of ambition if money
will put it aside, no matter hoar employed.
Greece after the battle of Cheroeua was
not more completely at the feet of Phillip
than is tire State of Wui. Penn at the leet
of Scott to day. “If the Central liailroad
has no more business for us, 1 now move
we adjourn," said a member of her Legis
lature. All this of course is done for the
best interests of the country. “How many
struggles, how much blood, how many
years will it not require to realize the good
which 1 intended for mankind," said the
captive of St. Helena, but the world points
his memory to the six million tombs lie
left behind him.
Mouoplies arc always odious not be
cause they are hated as such, but because
they are universally unjust. Give any
man or any set of men the power to take
away your liberty and a sainted few will
refuse, but give any ef them the power to
absorb your wealth and the)* will do so
without a moments hesitation.
What l'Hctorles <Io Tor n ( lit,
In a recent number or the Columbus
Fnu wo find the following clear aud suc
cinct statement of what Factories are
doing for that city. It would be impossi
ble to make the figures here given more
plain by auy commentary, however length
ened, or soever eloquent it be :
“Sai.k ok Oik Factories for 1872.
Those of the Fugle and I’oumix Manufac
tory were reported to Clerk of Council
at $5(i'.,295, of ths Muscogee. $83,“263 ,
aud A. Clegg & Cos., $25,27-1, (not running
first quarter.) The total report from these
throe, $378,832. Including the Columbus
Manufactory, and that of Mr. John King,
and the consignments of some of our mills
which do not report them, the aggregate
sales must have amounted to some eigh
teen hundred thousand dollars, (J,BtH),IHR>.)
These goods have beeu sold from New
Yoik to New Orleans aud St. Louis.
Columbus alons took $300,000 of Eagle
aud Fheeuix goods; three New Orleans
houses $100,000; two in Macon sllO,-
000, and two in Montgomery $82,000.
“These manufactories are the grea
sources of importance aud wealth of Co
lumbus."
And when we cousider that 40 per eout
of these sales were clear profit, amounting
in the grand aggregate $720,000, it al
most surpasses belief, yet very true,
We commenced those etatcuaeuls to the
earnest consideration of every citizen of
Macon who has her future prosperity at
heart:
