prineipW, and in some measure appreci
ated its importance to the haziness pub-
lie^ as well as to the people generally;
and we have adopted the system in
word and profession, but, we regret to
have to confess, have heretofore foiled,
in practice, to adhere to it.
The result has been, that we have lost
perhaps half, or more than that, of our
earnings, amounting to thousands of
-i ; dollars annually; and hot only have we
■“ fbst offlr money, but we hive lost the
£onfldaSee of thfltie whom we" have
ffttsted, besides involving ourself in
debt to Meads Who had favored us, to
their dftft injury.
We find it hard to learn the art of de
ny ibga fevor. Indeed, it is our nature
to he generous and liberal, especially to
our *$£?*• and friends. Besides, the
thought would occur to us, on being
solicited for time, that the person was
honest, and, therefore, would pay some
tithe or other; dhd ah additional induce
tnent was, that it would secure his
friendship and reciprocation, which,
however, it has never done in a single
instance, that we remember.
From motives like these, we have,
down to the present writing, failed to
adhere strictly to a principle in business
our better judgment, as well as the pos
itive precepts of Scripture, assured us
was the only one to insure success or the
approval of God; but it is never too late
to amend—we are resolving upon an en
tire new career in this respect, and we
hope to have the approval and co-opera
tion of onr patrons. We know, from
past experience, the trouble, inconven
ience and exceeding embarrassment of
being in debt, and our fixed purpose for
the future is to keep oat of debt ourself,
end do all we can to keep our patrons in
the same agreeable and pleasant situation !
The approaching Fall and Winter
will be a fitting time for onr friends to
square up old scores; repent of past de
linquencies, and determine, for all time
to come, to “owe no man anything but
to love.” *

Marianna.—The Marianna Courier
complains at the delay in the transmis
sion of freight from Savannah via Bain-
bridge. The difficulty must be in the
river carriage, which, at this season of
the year, can hardly be remedied. Dur
ing the Fall and Winter, while the Chat
tahoocliee and Flint are alive with boats,
there cau be no delay in the transmission
of freight and passage to Belcher’s
Landing, in the direction of Marianna.
We hope to see the day, in the early
distance, when the transinnsionof freight
from Bainbridge to Marianoa will re
quire but an hoar and a half, by sched
ule time, on a railroad connecting the
two cities. Should annexation prove a
success, the difficulty in the way of a
railroad to Pensacola will be removed.
Death of Geo. T. Rogebs, Esq.—The
Macon Telegraph, of the 16th instant,
announces the death of one of the oldest
and best citizens of that place. It says:
“ We ate pained to learn that Geo. T.
Rogers, Esq., one of the oldest and most
widely known business men of Macon
died at his residence in this city yester
day afternoon, of inflamation of the
bowels. Mr. Rogers was one of our best
citizens, and but a few days ago appa
rently in robnst health. His sickness
must have been brief, and the sudden
ness of the summons hence, wains ns all
of the uncertainty of life and the transi
tory nature of all earthly ties and in
terests.
Dabby’s Prophylactic Fluid.—Our
old friend Prof. Darby, deserves well
of ihe world for turning his superior
chemical knowledge to such good ac
count as to obtain by chemical rea
gents and action, this invaluable li
quor. We fmv6 never heard of one
using it Without finding out that it is
an excellent family medicine, and we
wish' hiiii great success in bringingit

The Baltimore Sun says :
‘ It is a startling estimate, but one
which is by many believed to be fair,
that not less than one ont of every <

well as of other States, are suffering

temperance.”
We see it stated that the notorious
C. H. Hopkins has been nominated
by the Radicals a candidate for Mayor
of Savannah, Ga. We presume the
present incumbant, Hon. E. C. Ander
son, will be nominated by the Demo
crats for re-election. He should be
requested, however, to ran as an inde
pendant candidate. The contest is of
too serious a nature to admit of party
trammels.
The Hawkinsville Dispatch gives the
particulars of a tragedy singular for its
atrocity even in these days of darkness.
Bryant Edmonson was brutally murder

his employ named Potts, on the 10th

The Crops.—Some of onr corn-rai
sers commenced pulling fedder on
Monday last, and the most of them
will be thus engaged next week.
The corn crop, therefore, in this re
gion, is now made. It is generally
good ; but ibe drtraght, i^ome neigh
borhoods, has cut the yield off greatly.
1 he rain, for the past three weeks, has
been partial hereabouts. Some plan
ters have had too much rain, while
others have had almost none at all.
Both of them have suffered.
The guanoed cotton, in some places
is now suffering from the effects of
drought. No caterpillar, as yet, to do
any damage, Many have finished
laying by their cotton. Open bolls
will be quite common within the next
few days.
The fruit crop, in this section, with
but few exceptions, so far as our ob
servation extends, is very sorry. In
a few localities peaches and apples
are good, but we are disposed to
think ihese constitute an exception
to the general rule. The cold
weather, in the spring had the effect
to produce an unhealthy growth,
especially in the low lands.
The final result of the case of the
negro Turner, prosecuted lor passing
or attempting to pass counterfeit
money, has not yet transpired.

doubtful constitutional powers is dan

and the Democratic party will never
consent that the State of Pennsylvania
shall surrender her great right of local
self government.
Second—-That the attempted ratifica

breach of iheir official duty and an out.

and the resolution making such ratifica

the amendment submitted to the people

Third—That the Democratic party ol

upon the negro the right to vote; and
we do emphatically der.v that there is
any right or power in Congress or else
where to impose negro suffrage upon
the people of this Slate in opposition
to their wi’I.

financial affairs is imperatively demand

Fifth—That the movements' now be

condition of laboring men, have our
most cordial co-operation.
Sixth—That the legislation of the
late Republican Congress, outside of the
constitution, the disregard of the major

sanctity of the ballot box, in the exclu

representatives clearly elected, the cs-
t biishment of military governments in
Stales of the Lnion, and the overthrow
of all civil government therein, are acts
of tyranny ar.d usurpation that tend
directly to the destruction of all repub

the worst forms of despotism.

to the Radical measures of Congress,
including the proposed Fifteenth
Amendment to the Constitution of
the United States, and who are op
posed to the appointment of-negroes
to office, be invited .to unite with the
Democracy in the.coming Contest.
Resolved, That we are opposed to
the adoption of the proposed Fif
teenth Amendment of the United
States Constifntion, believing the
same to be designed, tfnd, if adopted,
certain to degrade the right of suf
frage; to ruin the laboring white
man, by bringing nntold hordes of
Pagan slaves (in all but name) into
direct competition with his efforts to
earn a livel hood; to build up an
aris'ocratic class of oligarchs in our
midst, created and maintained bv
Chinese votes; to give the negro and
Chinaman the right to vote and hold
office; and that i:s passage would be
inimical to the best interests of our
country; in direct opposition to the
teachings of Washington, Adams,
Jefferson, and the other founders of
the Republic; iu flagrant violation
of the plainest principles upon which
the superstructure of our liberties
was raised; subversive of the dearest
rights of the different States and a
direct s'ep toward anarchy and its
natural sequence, the erection of an
empire upon the rums of constitution
al liberty
Resolved, That the Democracy of
California believe that the labor of
our white people should not be
brought into competition with the
labor of a class of inferior people,
whose living costs comparative no
thing, aud who add nothing to the
wealth of our State, and who care
and know nothing abo.it our
churches, schools, societies and social
aud political institution .

there can, I think, be no difference of
opinion, and the decision made now is
precisely the same that I made more,
than a year ago, and is entirely consis
tent with.every decision of Geq. Grant
i liat l have ever seen. I have, hereto
fore, in two districts—the second and
fifth—recommended that Congress
should be asked to’dispense with or
modify the test oath; and in one of
them, mainly in order to avoid the dif-
Acuities that exist now, I suspended the CorrE p^i^i'''''''''; a

We again refer to this Bainbridge en
terprise. It is meet and right that we
should keep it before tbe public, at
fitting seasons, for tbe'purpose of pro
moting its interests. Every property
holder, every parent, every child, every
citizen, is interested in the success of
Professor ium’s school, because it is
not to be an ignis fatuus, or Jonah’s
gourd, to appear for a short season, and
then VAnitii, s It is not merely n .project
totaMtkefneaej^ tin individual enterprise,
in which the public are only interested
for tbe time being. It is . a permanent
establishment, looking to the good of
the eonwiHHiity; seeking to lay a foun
dation upon which to erect on educa
tional temple upon whose dome is to be
inscribed, in eharotere of living light,
the names of our sons and daughters;
and their future largely depends npon
the facilities of instruction offerred them

The interests of our city are involved
to a greater extent in the establishment
of the Allen Institute than they are in
the building of railroads, tbe erection of
manufactories, or the influx of popula
tion. Education stands alone! It is first
and last It represents the head and
heart. Without it, man is but an ani
mal, seeking alone the gratification of
hisappetites end passions; with it, he is
an intellectual, moral and religious be
ing, capable of comprehending tbe sub
lime principles of his nature, and soar
ing aloft to the throne and presence of
God.
We learn from Prof. Allen that as
soon as his contemplated arrangements,
for his next term, are completed, he will
issue his Circular to the public, in which
every inducement will be offered to the
friends of education. He is determined
to leave nothing nndone on his part to
make Allen Institute equal to any
-similar school in the State. There will
he two Assistants in the Literary De
partment; the Musical Department will
'also be ably represented by a first-rate
teacher; and with as few extra charges
as possible.
We learn that his system of Physical
Training, heretofore practiced as an
occasional recreation, will receive still
greater attention, bat without extra
charge.

city. The island contains about thirty-
six hundred acres of good building land,

The Turner Case and the Govern

deuce in the Turner case on Satnrd.ty
was somewhat remnrcable. The purpose
of the defence was to show that the
principal witness against tbe prisoner,
one Sways?, was utterly destitute of
moral character, and not to be believed
when on oath. So far as negro and
white Radical testimony could go, this
point was established beyond all ques
tion— not as a fact, but as the opinion
ofSwayze’s party friends. And yet this
man Swayze is the regularly appointed
and trusted organist of tho administra

To the Editor of the World:
Str—Tue New York Tribune, and
Times do me grea< injustice in their
notice of the reunion of the officers
of the Army of the Gulf at Lung
Branch, New Jersey. They assert
that I insulted the” Association to
whose banquet I was invited by tbe
allusion I made to the leaders of tho
Confederate army I did not intend
t<> wound the feelings of those who
had honored me with an invitation to
participate in their festivities; on the
contrary, it was a compliment to our
army to speak well of those over
whom our army had triumphed, as
”foemen worthy of onr steel.’’ My
intention and meaning coakl only
have been perverted by men who
have been taught by such heroes as
Butler to relish a different kind of

I was-ir-gpd to attend this meeting
aud banquet, and declined to do so until
a further refusal would have appeared
churlish. I was appointed to respond
to one of tho regular toasts, and refused
to do so. My reluctance to attend or
speak at the banquet grew ont of the
apprehension that these atmy reunions
were being used as Radical stalking-

Ben Butler is ‘tired of calling dunk
sick.* It happened in this wise: W, ei t
Grant was in Boston, to attend \ e
Jubilee, it was announced he would rt
view the military on the common
under the command of Ben Butler, at a
certiin hour. They waited four hours
for him, but he came not. The Brngor
Democrat says:
Butler was there, surrounded by such
notable officers ss Howard, Chamber
lain, etc., sweating and swearing in the
saddle, and rolling that baleful eye with
the venom of an anaconda; while Grant
was at the St. James, funnelling sar
dines, puffing Havanas, and sucking '29th,
Heidsiek through a porcelain qnill. The
affair was ei her a deliberate insult, and
so intended by Grant, or else his delib
erations over h's ‘lemonade* bad unfitt
ed hirp for active duties. Which of the
two is the fact may be inferred by a
remark of the impetnons Butler. ‘I am
tired of caliiug drunk sick !‘
