Newspaper Page Text4 'w Our New Hailboad.—The editor of ®he ffainlrriage JVrgus, the Fort Gaines Mirror is opposed to _ the Bainbridge and Cnthbert railroad. Satard«r Horatag, April 17<ta, 1809. Club Rates. We will furnish the AsSous to clubs Si ten or more names at tbe reduced rate of $2,50 per year. Any one who will send us five new subscribers, with the money, will be entitled to the pap or ono year without charge. (tf) Brevities. Mr. W. P. Hunter, for many years , „ , cashier of the Marine Bank of-Sa- ; He thinks the bill, chartering it, should ! , n . , , . ’ . vannah, Ga., died m that city on the , be repealed at the next session of the I . ' J Legislature; and proposes, in bis next. ,n ® issue, to “explain in the most minate h’ n ited States House of Rep- details this railroad enterprise, its at-, resentatives adjourned sine die on the 'tempted usurpation of the rights of : 10th inst. The bill, authorizing a other lines of “transportation, its unwise j vole on the constitutions of Virginia,! theless, free from all party bias tifrd policy, and total bankruptcy if ever Mississippi and Texas, has been pass- \ sectarian bigotry, and is beloved by Rev.Win. E. Hamilton, Presbyte rian Minister, and Pastor of the Bainbridge P. Cliorcb, is acting in the capacity'of Pastor of the Marian na, FSa, Methodist X3h., for the time being. This-is as it should be. Mr. Hamilton, though a decided Presby terian, and aDle preitcher, is, never Bibb Got'imr. —Our subscribers Hazard District, Bibb County, Ga., will please pay their subscriptions to Wm. Y. Howard, Esq., who is authorised receipt for the same. (tf) The Abous has a circulation through out the bounds of the South Georgia Methodist Conference, which is one of the most important sections for adver tisers in the 'South. tf. Bainbridge, Cnthbert and Co lumbus Railroad. We give the correct .heading of the bill chartering this road. It is to ran "from -Bainbridge,” and, hence, tbe propriety of placing the name of this city first. The interests of the road and ipeople to be benefitted by it, demand that the road be commenced at this end, so as to give the country penetrated an outlet to the sea and Gulf os the road advances into the interior. The object countiCT°oi d I s 40 nfford tte Western ovo a • . qf - ate > many of which me now denied raitiw V.„ Uities a direct communication with Savann’m,, the great commercial centre of the South as well as with ports on the Gulf. The importance of this road to the future welfare of Savannah can hardly be too highly estimated. The section it is to represent is, without donbt, the -nchest and most fertile region within the limits of the State. There will not be a poor landed county, so far as our information extends, between Decatur and Mnscogee. The growth of the forest and the productiveness of the fields __ cultivation, denote a soil of remarkable fertility, ns characterising the whole country to be tapped by the road. The construction of the road to Cuth bert, provided its locality is determined by its advantages in cost, will not exceed $12,000 per mile, the amount of the State’s endorsement. Beyond Cuthbert, the cost v, ill be much greater; but tbe people there are better able to incur additional expense, and that portion of the road will probably be the most vnl liable to the stockholder, and in greater demand from tbe destitution of the country of all communication with the outer world. We hope to see general enthusiasm awakened among our people in favor of this grand enterprise. Savannah and the Atlantic and Gulf Railroad Company are to be the greatest beneficiaries, and we hope they will not fail to insure the early organization of the Company, and the commencement of active operations, in the survey of the route, and the im mediate grading of twenty miles of the road. ^ We call upon every citizen interested in the success of this grand movement for the development of Western Georgia, to do his whole duty in the premises, proving, by his subscription to the stock of the Company, his liberality, public spirit and superior intelligence. Let every man do his duty—his whole duty, and the result no one can doubt, bnilt.” We are certain the editor will fail in thisattempt; he proposes to do too much. Indeed, the article from which the above extract is taken, proves Tic has yet-all-to learn about the matter in hand; and he does not give himself time enough to sufficiently study the subject—one week will be too short a time, brother. The Fourth Petition or Oub Lobd’s Praxes.—We ever criticise the produc tion of one of onr own correspondents with reluctance, desiring rather to ap prove and commend; but the exposition of the fourth petition of our Lord’s prnyer, which we publish in this issue, seems to demand of us an expression of dissent from some of the writer’s views. Did not the Lord’s prayer embrace whatever might and should be prayed for, it would have failed to meet the reqnest: “Lord teach us topRAY.” Not for any particular thing; hut to pray. How and what to pray, The Lord’s prayer, hence, is the foundation and warrant for all prayer. Whatever is not included in it, is unauthorized and vain, The writer’s own views, therein ex pressed, it appears to us, vindicate the generally endorsed meaning of the peti tion. Christ is the life of both body and soul, and the petition certainly in eludes the daily sustenance of the one as well as the other. Eveu --iiere we have an abundance laid up in store oi worldly goods, we are etill dependent upon tilt, good provi dence of God in preserving and render ing what We have conducive to our health and Vigor—as bread. Revival in Bainbridge. —The revival in this city, growing out of the pulpit labors of Bishop Pierce, Presiding Elder Clarke and others, has grown to dimen sions indicating a general work of grace throughout the entire community.— Crowds encompass the altar every service, and conversions, as clear and satisfactory as we have ever known, are constantly occurring. Rev. J. M. Austin, of Thom- asville, who rises to the full statue of a man of God, has, for the Inst few dayfc, occupied the pulpit, and is doing good service in connection with the zealous and beloved Pastor of the Church, Bov. A.. J. Dean. The work, however, is all oi God; and to him, and not his feeble instruments, bo all the glory. May it go on, until every citizen of Bainbridge is redeemed, and tbe authority of tbe Almighty restored, and his reign fully established in every heart. Congress Refused to Interfere will* tbe Civil Government of Georgia. Since the close of the late disastrous war the people of Georgia, of all grades and conditions, have not had so great cause to rejoice as they now have in the refusal of Congress to disturb the civil government of this State. Georgia now occupies a position more desirable, ad vantageous and satisfactoiy than any other Southern State. She is a white man’s State, and will continue to be for all time to come. The courts have de cided, as well as our Legislature, that negro is inelligible to office without some qualifying enactment, and the Legislature being in the hands of the whites, such a law can never be passed Hence, the government of the State of Georgia will ever be, as it is now, a white man’s government The failure of the Congress, which has just adjourned, to interfere with the in ternal affairs of Georgia, without doubt settles the question, and will restore confidence to the public mind, inspire hope throughout our entire borders, and insure an influx of the better population from the other States, both North and South, that will soon overran our do main, and give ns a prosperity unknown in the past We should be thankful, one and all, for this unexpected favor from Divine Providence, and from this time forward endeavor to be a better people, in every way, than we have ever been before— “ceasing to do evil, and learning to do well,” in- obedience to the command of our Heavenly Father, “who will not al ways chide, neither will he keep his anger forever.” Let ns hope and pray that the days of our calamity are ended. The Home Monthly.—The South Georgia Conference, at its late ses sion in Albany, passed the following esolution : “Resolved, That We cordially re commend the Home Monthly, pub lished at our Publishing House, Nashville, Tenn., and edited by Prof. . B. Stark, as a periodical worthy of the patronage of our preachers alld people, and especially as it is design ed to fill, for the present, in our Church literature and families, the place formerly occupied by “Home Circle. 1 ’ The Magazine is sent to ministers at $2.50 per year ; $3.00 is its regu lar price. We heartily commend it to our readers. tf j ed and signed by the President. A. B. Clark, a carpet-bagger, stop ping in Bainbridge or Thomasville until he could get an office, has been appointed Assesor of the Revenue for tie Savannah District. Gov. Scott, of South Caroling, for the present, is organizing a negro standing army for the purpose of se curing peace and good feeling in that State. Prentice wishes that the President could be persuaded to think that the conntry is some' relation of tet. Hon. W. G. Swan, Confederate Congressman from Tennessee, died recently in that State. * Mr. Hutchinson, Conductor on the Mobile & Montgomery Railroad, fell from the top oi <ene of the cars a few days ago and tbe whole train ran over him, crashing him to death. The business portion of Madison, Ga,. and many residences, were de stroyed by fire on the 8th inst. Loss very heavy. The Steamship, Gen. Grant, was burned to the water’s edge, while ly ing at the wharf in New Orleans, on the 8th inst-. Col. Nelson Tift thinks the present set—and wnat a “set,” with a few hon orable exceptions—of congressmen from this State will be admitted, if any are. Tift, Young and Christy are the right men in the right place, but the carpet-baggers are a set of fellows the people of Georgia detest as so many vultures. Bishop George F. Pierce preached last Sunday in Columbus, Ga., and was to preach each night there the present week, a prayer meeting to be held every morning in St. Luke’s Church. No donbt a great revival will be the result. all who know him. Mr. Dan. Potter, a deguerrean ar tist, was killed at Whitesville, Ga., on the fitll inst., by a man named Dan iel. The murderer has not been ar- esfed. Dr. F. W. Hentz, of Marianna, Fla, has established a permanent dental office in Columbus, Ga., where, we suppose, be intends making his home. Reverdy Johnson has been recalled from tbe Court of St. James. A Pleasing Surprise—Handsome Present.—Near the hour of nine o’clock on Saturday night last, a rap was heard at the door of the Parson age of Asbury M. E. Church in this eity. The Pastor—Rev. C. W. Key —went to the door, upon arriving there, found upon the outside, neatly doMF %)S in tissue paper, a most beautiful silver Communion service, with “Asbury Church” -engraven oe each piece. The bearer of this pres ent had fled, so that no information could be gained abont tbe generous donor.— Chronicle.and Sentinel, Qth.

" ' - JAMES K. BARIUM, Chairman. R. F. Watts, Secretary. Dr. Blackburn, of Lumpkin, Ga., says that Darby’s Phropbylactic will make good all reasonable expectations. Mv. Cline, of tbe Wire Gross Report er, Ga., says that he is so much in love with Prof. Darby’s Phropbylactic Fluid that he conld write a whole column about it. We do not blame him for it.

Sale of Land for Taxes.—As many enquiries are being made, relative to wild land having been sold for taxes, we would state for the information of those interested, that the last Legis lature passed an act, declaring all such sales illegal and void, and authorizing the Tax Collectors to re fund the purchase money to the pur chasers at such sales where called for.—Albany News. Bishop Beckwith.—The Macon Journal and Messenger says this emi nent prelate preached, on the Uth inst., two of the ablest and most eloquent sermons ever listond to in that city. In the evening the right the { of confirmation was administered by ' him to some tiVehty five persons. Gen. R. H. Anderson and wife, of Savannah, were thrown from a buggy while riding out, on the 5th instant, but not seriously injured. Wc learn from the Savannah News that Richard Ralston, a book-keeper of Mr. William Libby, of Valdosta, shot anil killed tbe latter one night 1-st week. Ralston was arrested. Statistics of the Social Evil in New York.—The report of Police /Superin tendent Kennedy, issued last week, in relation to the social evil, states that there are in that city and Brooklyn 396 honses of prostitution, 107 assignation houses, 13 pretty waiter girl saloons,' 2,107 prostitutes, and 255 waiter girls. It was, perhaps, the Superintendent’s report that inspired the following lines by James McCarroil, published in the Evening Post: god help her! The question of title to Brunswick city Commons has been settled by arbi tration, Julges Fleming, fitansell and Hon. Thomas E. Loyd were the arbitra tors, who decided in favor of the defen dants.

Poor child of good and Child of ill, Too weak for her misguided will, God help her, she’s a woman still. The memorandum of a Radical legis lator, we published last week, should have been credited to the Albany News. A Convention, composed of the Past- masters and Masters of the Masonic Lodges in the First Masonic District of this State was held in Americas last Thursday. The citizens of Thomas county held a public meeting in Thomasville on the 6th instant, and passed resolutions pro testing against the State becoming liable, ps is proposed by the act of the Legislature, for four millions of dollars, in coin, for the benefit of tbe proposed Brunswick and Albany railroad. We have had frost in this immediate vicinity the past week, but we hear 6t i no damage to vegetation. A self-sufficient humbug, who took dp the profession of a physician, and pretended to a knowledge of the art, was once called to visit a man who was afflicted with appoplexy. Bolus ghzed long and hard, felt his pulse, and finally gave vent to. the following sublime opinion : “I think he’s a gene feHer.” “No, no!” exclaimed the sorrowful wife ; “do not Say that.” “Yes,” returned Bolus, lifting up his hat and eyes heavenward, at the same time, “yes, I do say so ; there ain’t no hope—not the least mite He’s got an attack of nihil fit in his lost frontis ” “Where?” cried the started wife. “In his lost frontis ; can’t be cored without some trouble and great deal of pains—You see his whole planeta ry system is deranged. Fustly, his vox popnli is pressing on his ad val orem ; secondly, his cntacarylal cuta neous has swelled considerable, if not more ; thirdly, and lastly, his ribs are in a concussed state, and he hasn’t got any money ; consequently, he is bonnd to die.” [Communicated.] Messrs.
