Savannah Wcehlu Slew* %-' 'w' WATI It II AV, OE( KtIHKII 2V IH7.V CITY AFFAIRS. AMI HAVANNAH. Inlcrralliif ilrwriptlon of lh - Sfw Itnnir. The steamship City of Dallas arrived in port Thursday from Nassau. We are in debted to the purser for files of the Nassau Guardian and Nassau Timet. In a copy of the former, of date of November 20tb, we find the following interesting description of the trip between the two cities, which have again been brought into regular commum cation by steam. The < ditor says : The actual time at sea was filty-two hours I from Nassau bar to the Savanu&b river bar. j The route is au exceedingly pleasant and safe one. After leaving this harbor abont ! three hours the pretty, green Berry Islands j are sighted, and an hour later Htirrup's Cay lighthouse may he seen standing out in j bold relief by day, and at night illuminating the arc of a circle at sea of about thirty miles in diameter. In six or seven hours more the Grt At Isaacs's light is visible — ] flashing its nightly warning to mari ners to keep off the treacherous sand banks. From this point the Gulf Stream is soon reached, and ships are borne on its bosom to the northward at the rate of three or four miles an hour without sail or steam. After a run of some three hundred and fifty miles on this “river in the sea,” to the north and west, a red light-ship is seen on the horizon pointing the way to the Savan nah river; and the low swampy lands of South Carolina ou the starboard, and of Georgia ou the i>ort side of the ship, indi cate the confluence of that noble stream. Eighteen miles from the mouth of the river stauds the city of Savauuali. It rests on a bluff about fifty feet above the level of the sea, and extends due south. There is nothing peculiarly attractive in the city’s appearance when approached from the lower part of the rtver, but a little higher up the stream it presents quite a picturesque aspect. While, however, the visitor who goes to Savannah for the first time may not he impressed with the view from the river, a drive or a walk through its broad streets and squares—intersecting one another at right angles—with its finely wooded park and a sight of its numerous buildings, some of them possessing con siderable architectural merit, will most certainly leave a very favorable impres sion of the city and Us suburbs. Some of the streets are particularly imposing, and admirably adapted to a Southern climate. They have glass promenades in the middle of them, fringed with the water-oak, syca more, magnolia an l pride-of-ludia trees. A carriage-way is laid down on each side of this grass-plot, and amply-paved foot-paths run the whole length of the streets, for the accommodation of the business pedestrians Every other “block” is laid out in the form of a park, with large, shady trees and well kept walks, and some of these squares arc ornamented with inonuineutH, of which the Greene, Pulaski and Confederate will com pare favorably with many in the Union. Of tlm churches, the ludepeudent Pres byterian, with its graceful spire,is the most imposing; but Christ Church ami Ut. John's are both lino structures and well adapted to the Episcopal form of worship. [The Itev. John Wesley was the rector of Christ Church in 1735.] Ample hotel accommodation tnay be found in Havnuuali for u large number of persons, but in the winter mouths (proper) the cli mate is not so well adapted for invalids as our own. From fourteen to twenty thousand visitors stop for a short time in Savannah evory year eit oute to Florida, where a more genial atmos phere for the afflicted seems the gloat attrac tion. Regular steam communication with this island will, it is thought, supply a want long felt by the United States ana Canadian invalids and travelers in search of heaPh and climatic advantages. No hotter steamer could bo found than the City of Dallas for the purposes of this transit. She is fast, staunch and a good soa boat, with efficient, gentleman-like officers, and a larder unsur passed at most first-class hotels. The sailing from Savannah is in-shoro from tlio bar, nearly south, to Cape Florida, and is usually “as smooth as a mill pond." Crossing the Gulf Stream occupies about five hours, and then with the Bahama Bank on the right, and the islands of Grand Ba hama anil Abaco on the left hand, a pleasant passage of a few hours brings the ship to onr own peaceful harbor. Whether the intercourse of Nassau with Savunuah every ten days will bo attended with those favorable results -commercially, socially and healthfully- which tlio sanguine expect’ time and efficient performance of the mail contract will alono show ; but wo have certainly a right to look forward in hope. By our present steam arrangements we are brought into frequent communica tion with a large commercial city which'ex ports many things wo want, while she im ports many articles which wo could supply. Of salt, for instance, sho imported forty thousand dollars’ worth last year, while lur fruit she paid about sixteen thousand dol lars, and for guano twonty-ono thousand five hundred dollars. In a brief article like tlio present, it is impossible to do more than simply refer to Home of the advantages which may accrue from our connection with Savannah. Tho leading men of that city aro anxious to avail themselves of tho extended commer cial facilities and passenger communica tion which tho present line of steamers re inauguratod last week. It will ho seen from tho article copied by us, from tho Savannah Mohnino News, what was done, and, further, what was intended to liavo boon accomplished. It is our own turn now to do what wo can to make the en terprise a success. We have a matchless climate, a clean, healthy eitv, good water facilities, a fine, well-managed hotel at very moderate charges, and steam communica tion with Georgia every ten days. If these advaninKes are not turned to account, it will be our own fault. No more admirably adapted cities for tho residence of invalids and travelers dui.V'g tho winter mouths, can be so easily reached, under tho present arrangements, as Savanu’ l h and Nassau. ♦♦♦ ■ ■ tin id.mill Itoll.

A. L. Richardson A Cos., to manage affairs hen*. The Walter Brett is larger than the Baker in every way, has ex tensive passenger accommodations, aud is well suited to the service for which she will t>e employed. Captain Donohue states that he intends to allow tho boat to remaiu on the line throughout the year, aud intends to work the tr.de up, and if necessary will tiring out another steamer. —a .Murder oil Shipboard.

The average Atlanta sinner has to employ a beer-jerker to help him say bis pr&yerg. Col. Grady, of the Atlanta Her of and, seems to think the negroes hold the balance of power in Georgia. The Colonel always gets nervous about this time of year. The occasional juvenile, armed with the mellifluous tin horn, is about the only thing calculated to warn Havannah mortality that the holidays, as well as their own cuds, are approaching. Seventeen Columbus men have positively refused to celebrate Christmas by getting new bonnets for their wives. Wo continue to receive applications from the North and West for specimen copies of the Mokxho News. We trust the land holders of Houth Georgis and Florida are aiding the officers of the Atlantic and Gulf Bailroad in disseminating information in regard to these sections. A favored few are munching English peas iu Talbotton. A Talbot county negro slipped his hand into a gin the other day, hut couldn’t take it out quick enough. The gin was not seri ously injured. The third number of the Cartersville Express came to baud yesterday vastly im proved. Mr. Willingham will prove to the people of Bartow county before he gets through with them that he is not only in capable of being controlled by a ring, but that he is one of the best editors in the Btate. Talbotton sends up another wail about bad roads. The Geneva Lamp still burns brightly. Its editor is writing a romance. Mr. M. M. Barron, formerly of the Frank lin Sees, will shortly begin the publication of the Weekly Blade in N'ewnan. This will give that town three papers. Barron evi dently has something heroic iu his make up. Mr. Joseph Williams, of Cartersville, is ninety-six years old and still frisky. There is to be a grand tournament at NewtoD, Baker county, by the young men, on the 23d inst. The Albany News says that planters give conflicting accountsof the “topcrop.” Home say it is opening finely, and will yield fifty to seventy per cent, on the first growth, whilst others assert tli&t it is well nigh no crop. It is quite evident that very many plantations will turn out above fifty per cent., and it is equally certain that very many others will fall below twenty-five. The heavy frosts and bright sunny days of this week will solve the question by Satur day night, and the agony will be at an end. Mr. Tab Greenwood shot Mr. Tom James at Arlington last week, inflicting serious wounds. Both parties used their pistols. A Cartersville man caught a mule by the tail the other day. He says he must have beeu a hundred and sixty-five feet from the animal before he could turn the appendage loose. The Dalton Citizen has entered anew volume. It is one of the best weeklies on our exchange list. Mr. W. J. MarchmaD, of Marietta, is dead. Mrs. E. A. Pope, of Macon, is dead. A white man stabbed a colored woman in Macon recently. An incendiary fire consumed the Dawson Hotel the other day. Captain James G. Paine, of Newton county, has received an appointment to a position at Washington at a salary of one thousand eight hundred dollars per annum, with nothing to do during the recess of Congress. Tho position was secured for him through the inlliieDce of General Gordon and Hon. L. Q. C. Lamar. Dougherty county jail has an average of thirty prisoners a day within its walls. The Augusta Chronicle says that a young lady—a resident of Havannah—now on a visit to Augusta, dreamed last week that the steamer Lizzie Baker sunk, but the passen gers were saved. A few days afterward sho learned that the steamer had actually sunk Haturday, but tho passengers and crew were rescued, and thus found her uream fulfilled. A man namod Itoden has been arrested chargod with an attempt to assassinate Mr. Howland, Superintendent of Gramteville Factory. The Augusta Constitutionalist says that in consequence of the sudden and serious illness of one of Mr. Pendleton’s daughters, he has deferred his departure from that city for the present. Dr. Hteiuer was sum moned, and by his advice, it is not likely Mr. Pendleton will leavo before Monday. While our citizens deplore the cause which prevents Mr. Pendleton from pursuing his journey southward as he originally in tended, it offers an opportunity for many to pay their porsonai respects to the Ohio statesman. A natural curiosity was brought to the office of the Quitman Reporter by Mr. J. C. Spell, of Brooks county, one day last week, in the shape of acorn cob. The ear of corn from whion it was one of ordinary length, but, after tho grain was taken off, it represented a complete human hand in shape. The thumb and four lingers are perfectly represented, and the cob repre sents a complete hand and wrist in its for mation. The Augusta Chronicle says that Cobb county cannot fail to bo well represented in tho Legislature. There 4re three candi dates for the seat in the House made va cant by tho resignation of Mr. W. D. An derson -Judge David Irwin, Colonel Jas. D. Waddell, and General A. J. Hansell. It is a good sign for the State when such men seek a place in her councils. Each of the candi dates lias a strong following, and the result is doubtful. In any event the State will be a winner. Thus tho Marietta Journal: When the Logislaturo meets in January it should have the manhood to submit tho question of holding a convention to a vote of the people. Our present Constitution was made by ne groes, Radicals, carpet-baggers aud Bul lock plunderers, and it is not a true expo nent. aud does not represent the intelligent wishes of the people. There is much in it that a convention would expunge as unwise and Dernicious. Biennial sessions of the Legislature, consolidation of small counties, reducing the uumbor of llepreseutatives, abolishing unnecessary offices, lessening tho amount of homestead exemption, aud curtailing ex penses, aro vital questions that press them selves upon the considerate attention of our law-makers. Let us have wholesome laws that will impart confidence, and that will protect croditor and debtor in a fair and oquitable way. This will check extrava gance, encourage industry 7 , and foster econ omy, aud our people will deal more in cash and livo within their income. About the Hon. W. D. Anderson’s resigna tion from the Legislature and entering the ministry, the Newuau Star says: “Now, thou, if William sticks to his preaching, and don’t offer for Governor or Senator, we shall lielievo in the genuine nature of his con version and devotion to the cause of religion, but we have some fears that ho is hunting for something, and, like Wofford, he will be ‘recommended’ before mauy days. He can’t i reach as well as Colquitt, nor pray as well as James. He couldn’t out curse Smith if he should try. He is no Granger, aud we aro greatly in hopes ho will abide by 7 and stick to the faith of which he has become a public champion.” Home Commercial: “About fifteen miles from Borne, to the right of the Summerville road, an old man, his wife and two half grown daughters, we learn, were brutally a 7 ;d luhumauly murdered on Monday night last. T be particulars, as we learn them from a eutlemaii I>v '* lo name of Warren, who passed tho place oil Tuesday afternoon, are as follows: Four negro u.'‘' u , t ,° house of Mr. Simmons and denififlffed to be let in, but were told that they had no busi ness in the house, and that they 7 could not got in. The negroes retired for consultation and returned, bearing a large rail, which they had procured from a fence near by, battered down the door, went in, cut the old man’s throat, shot his wife and raped the two daughters. Not satisfied with their hellish proceedings, they then cut the girls’ throats from ear to ear, carried them with their dead pareuts into the open air, placed them in an erect position axaiust the fence, robbed the house and burned it to the ground. They then left with their plunder to parts unknown, leaving a small negro girl about six yea.3 of age, who gave the alarm after the negroes had left. The mur derers had not been caught at last accounts. This is the most dreadful and brutal act it has ever been our misfortune to chronicle, provided our informant has given us the exact truth of the matter.” Chattanooga I'imest From a gentleman who arrived in the city yesterday from Mur ray county, Ga., we learn that much excite ment prevailed in that locality last week, iu consequence of the commission of an out ■ yage, by a negro, upon the person of a rest .'actable lady of that county. On Mon day the 3th i* ns4 -. Mrs. Parrott, a widow, who lives acv ut three miles away, had been to Spring Place, ‘he county seat, to attend to some business ** )he court. As she was returning home passed a negro by the name of John ibfii tb. wfio was loading up a wagon with wood, bmit®, who was unknown to Mrs. Parrott, msde an assault upon her with the intent to outrage her person, and accomplished his purpose. From the place where the act was committed the negro walked some way up a ravine, then came round to where he bail been at work and went to town with the load of wood. Smith probably walked up the ravine thinking the tracks in that di rection would mislead those who might look for the author of tho crime, in case any search was made. Mrs. Parrott succeeded iu reaching a house about half a mile off making known what had happened, and the neighborhood was soon aroused. Smith, who had been seen going up the ravine, *v a little girl, was arrested on suspicion. T, rrott w-.s asked if she could identify Mrs. m. —.-, 0 ba( j as£all itecl her. She said the negro . on hijs brtaßt . t pon he had a large -u nd to be true, examination this was n.. —tlv fit the Smith’s shoes were found to ez- ' - tracks made in the ravine. Smith npifu _ ing told these facts confessed the deed. Tho indignation which was at first felt grew into that excitement which could not be re strained by the officers of the law, and on Tuesday night Smith was taken from jail by disguised men and bung in the court house yard. An Atlanta man sends us a postal card re monstrating with us for wtatmg that the Savannah hat-racks are in bloom. Atlanta people are always so finnicky. In certain quarters of Macon the citizens unchain their dogs when they see a police man sauntering in their direction. Mr. Tilley, of Augusta, heard that some one had been repeating certain slanderous tales concerning him. He found the per son, challenged him, and Mr. Tilley was killed. And yet the “chivalry” insist that dueling is the way to appease wounded honor. The question is, did Mr. Tilley get satisfaction? If not, who did? The Griffin New* announces that Kate Fisher will perform in that city to-night, there are ninety-nine of her creditors in Savanuaii who are prepared to vehemently deny this statement. Grady, of the Atlanta Herad, is remodel ing Moore’s police coart reports into a Cen tennial poem. Mr. J. H. Camr, of Floyd county, has raised forty-three bales of cotton ou forty acres of land this year. The murder, rape and arson sensation which we printed on Haturday from the Borne Commercial is pronounced bv that pa pier to be a hoax. Mr. John Hix Bass has retired from the editorial staff of tbe Borne Commercial, aDd accepted a position on that of the Atlanta Herald. His place on the former paper will be filled by Mr. Frank J. Cohen. The Eatonton Messenger will soon have a new press, and then the pat>er will be en larged. Toccoa had a terrific hail-storm a few days ago- A little six-year old boy, a child of Mr. R. C. Montgomery, of Polk county, fell into a barrel of scalding water recently. He has since died. The Borne Courier nominates General W. Montgomery Gardner as the next State Treasurer. A negro child was burned to death near Fort Gaines recently. Mr. Walter B. Graham has become editor of the Fort Gaines department of tUe Cuth bert Appeal. Lowndes county wants a game law. Waycross boasts of an oyster saloon. Oranges grow finely in Ware county, and so do bananas. The goober-pea foundries of Atlanta are now running night and day, in view of the early meeting of the Legislature. Dr. W. B. Folks, of Waycross, says that the wild goose bank deposits are situated on the lakes a little northeast of Black Jack Island. They are said to be very rich, and have been accumulating for centuries. The Count Johannes B’Gormanne, with the fragrance of Florida orange groves clinging to Uis coat-tails, is on his way to Tennessee. Joe Porter, formerly of Atlanta, is now a native of the Wilmington, N. C., jail. A Kentucky hog-drover was swindled out of his money in Atlanta the other day. It is not necessary, however, to*be a stranger to get swindled in Atlanta. All the North Georgia papers that have spoken thus far are in favor of a Constitu tional Convention. A Macon man who put a handfull of buck shot in t kerosene lamp used by his mother in-law, under the pretense that it would in tensify tho light and save oil, is now a wan derer from home. A hog was killed in Houston county re cently that weighed 510 pounds net, and it wasn’t a two-legged hog neither. Stewart county is sowing an exceptionally large oat crop. The only recreation that is always open to the Augusta people is an excursion up the canal. That is happiness enough for one day. The telegraphers are marring the beauty of the Atlanta landscape by putting up rough polos. This is supposed to be sar casm on the part of the local papers. Young Sammy Burney, a son of Mr. S. A. Burney, of Madison, was killed while hunt ing the other day by the accidental dis charge of his gun. A little son of Mr. John Pride, of Terrell county, was burned to death recently. The colored people are getting up a fair ground in Thomas county. This is rather a hopeful sign. Dr. John D. Andrews, of Thomasville, has eradicated another cancer. Tho Barrons, of Jones county, are raising rust-proof oats. An incendiary fire burned the Collins Hotel and the Post Office at Dawson the other day. The loss is supposed to be about $4,000. The store of Mr. B. G. Whitkouski, at Lawtonville, on the Central Bailroad, has been destroyed by fire. Dr. C. P. Beman, a well-known editor, died in Sparta recently. • Thomasville is fixing up for a fox-hunt. Hawkinsville Dispatch : A most awful ca tastrophe occurred on Wednesday night of last week in Dooly county, near the line of Worth. The unfortunate victim was Elder Harauel Wright Story, a Primitive Baptist, highly esteemed. Mr. Story had beeu to mil! ou Swift creek, and was returning home late in the evening. He stopped to warm himself iu front of the house of Mr. Ste ven-*, on tho road side, where an old stump of a tree had beeu fired, and had burned into a hole. None of Mr. Stevens’s family went out to where he was, or paid auy at tention to his being there. They only no ticed that his cart remained standing an unusually long time for a person merely to warm. About ten o’clock at night, they saw his cart was still at the roadside, and finally concluded to go and see if anything was the matter. Gn arriving at the stump hole a most horrible sight was before them. The head and shoulders of Mr. Story’s body were lying in the hole and had burned to a crisp. It seemed as if lie had fallen into tho burn ing hole headforemost. Whether he had struck his foot against some obstacle and fallen, or whether he had been prostrated from a fit, is unknown. In either case, he was unable to raise himself out of the hole, and death, in its most terrible form, put au end to his struggles. The citizens of the neighborhood were informed of the acci dent, and assembled to hold an inquest and bury the remains. Our informant, Mr. S. P. Wilson, passed the place.on Thursday morning, and a crowd had already collected for the objects stated. Oglethorpe Echo : There is scarcely a land owner in this county who has any woodland at all but suffers almost as much loss, annually, from the destruction of tim ber as his taxes amount to. If all the tim ber that is wasted, not counting what is used, was valued at its real worth, it would amount every year to as much or more than is paid to both State or county. And this destruction is not done by him. It is done by others, and wholly irre sponsible parties at that. Many tenants arc under the impression that when they rent land they rent the right to cut timber ad libitum, ibis ignorance, in many cases, has become so settled that they complain as a great hardship of the refusal to allow them to cut timber when they please. A tenant, unless by permission of his landlord, .has no right to cut a green stick. But the law don’t stop them. They will walk into your woods and throw a white oak, with timber enough on it to make fifty plow stocks, and use only enough to make oue, leaving the balance to rot on the ground. The waste of good timber for fire-wood, in general amoDg hands and tenants od all large places amounts to one or two per cent, of the value of the place. By the time the ’possum hunters aud coon hunters get through cutting trees and other odds and ends of waste there is not much left for the owner. It amounts almost to a dedication of woods to the public to own them in this county. We suggest that our laud owners, in drawing their contracts for the coming year, insert a special clause that the tenant shall cut no green timber without special permission. Then it would be advisable to gut up notices warning tho publio against nntiDg without permission. In no other couutry on earth that pretends to civiliza tion, is' such a thing tolerated as hunting on the lauds of another without permission. In many cases, of course, the permission is implied, gs in cases of adjoining landlords and the like, Out thp principle remains, aud without some sort of permission it is a mis demeanor. Columbus Enquirer: The papers are cut ting out work for the Legislature of Geor gia at its next session, which begins in January; and as they generally know (if they do not to a great extent direct) public sentiment, we suppose that they are nearly correct in indicating the leading subjects of legislation. These are the repeal or modi fication of the homestead laws; the question of calling a constitutional convention; the better and more secure disposition of the penitentiary convicts; a tax on dogs, and a change from annual to biennial sessions of the Legislature. We hope that a proposi tion will also be submitted separately to the people to delegate to the Legislature power to reconstruct the counties, so as to wipe out many of the smaller ones, and thus get relief from a great and unnecessary tax upon the people. So far as a return to biennial s'essihns ia oonwned, we hope that the Legislature will be cantiou. in deciding the question. That has been tried in a num ber of the Southern States, and we believe that it has neither given general satisfaction, sor effected anv great saving of expense. It would not do to deprive the Governor of discretionary power to call the Legislature together in extra session, and so many or such apparently pressing questions would arise within the’ interim of two years that the Governor would be very apt to accede to the demand for &u extra session every year. On a question of that wind, the Executive would feel neither authorized nor' disposed to ad here rigidly to any opinion which be might have that there was no need for an extra session. He would be more apt to make the call and lot the Legislature judge of the pro priety of action on the questions presented. The fact that at the present time- -notwith standing the long session of the Legislature , „mter—•so many important subjects of * as ; , —„ he presented, and all pressed legislation c-- '' - sufficient admonition for prompt action, is a . —rr year an that there would be nearly e<-.. -;.i earnest call for an extra session, if biena—- sessions should be determined upon. South Carolina Affairs. Robert Gadsden, a negro, stole a bottle of whisky in Charleston from a store, and was pursued by a colored porter and shot iu the thigh. The fair of the ladies of the Edgefield Baptist Church, in Edgefield, realized one hundred and forty dollars. Bishop Howe confirmed abont twenty per sons at the Episcopal Chnrch at Lexington on Sunday last. The fifty German immigrants who passed through Charleston last week have reached their future home in Andergon county. The merchants of E dgeway, and tbe farmers and laborers of the vicinity, are preparing a petition to the Legislature, praying the enactment of a law prohibiting the sale of seed cotton either by daylight or at night. No use. Several bold and daring burglaries were perpetrated in Florence on Wednesday last. Avery important lawguit has just been completed at Kingstree, before Trial Justice Lee and a jury. The suit was for the value of a sheep of the plaintiff which was killed by the dog of the defendant. Verdict, $5; costs, S6O. Bev. A. N. Esperiodon, the Greek priest, has reached Bock Hill, and astonishes the natives of that place by his unique costume. The Edgefield Advertiser enters next week upon the forty-secon ’ year of its publica tion. A lumber association, composed of owners of saw mills, has been formed in Kershaw county. The object is to secure uniformity in the prices charged for lumber. Rev. J. M. Workman preached his fare well sermon in the Methodist Church, at Kingstree, Sunday last. At the recent meeting of the County Com missioners of Marion they raised the price of license to sell whisky to $250. In Horry, the Commissioners have give n notice that after the Ist of January they will refuse to grant a license at any price. The murdered peddler, who was found in the neighborhood of Johnston’s, Edgefield couuty, turns out not to be a peddler. On the contrary, it would seem, from certain facts, that it was a yellow man who had been working on the Air-Line Railroad, and was returning to his home in Aiken. As regards the perpetrators of the foal deed, however, no clue has been discovered. Jnlia Randolph, a woman of bad repute, was mysteriously murdered near her house in Darlington county recently. A negro named Dave Williams, with whom the mur dered woman was supposed to have had some questionable relations, is suspected of the deed, and has fled the country. The contract for railroad iron for the ex tension of the track of the Chester and Le noir Railroad, from Yorkville to Dallas, was duly and formally consummated last week by the contracting parties, President Da vega, of the Chester and Lenoir Railroad, and Vice President Chamberlain, of the Roane Iron Works Company, Chattanooga, Tenn. Since that time the contract for laying the track has been let out to Messrs. Fry & Deal. Last Sunday the Coroner of Chester county held an inquest on the body of a ne gro who was found dead in a screw press. The evidence showed that the deceased was standing near the screw box, and, when the others left, lay down upon the cotton and fell asleep. The rest of the cotton might then have been put in without rousing him, and when it was pressed down he was smothered. BEWARE OF THE (JUEER. A Complete List of Counterfeit Bank Notes.

A Health-Promoting Stimulant. Physicians who certainly ought to be the best judges of such matters declare that wholesome stimulation is not only desirable, but essential in many instances. When the temporary good effect of a sound stimulant is confirmed and ren dered permanent, as in the case of Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters, by the action of tonic and alterative principles combined with it, it becomes infinitely more efficacious as a renovant of physi cal energy and a corrective of those conditions of the body w hich invite disease. The Bitters have received the emphatic sanction of medical men who have observed the effect of that popular stimulative cordial as a remedy for weakness, nervousness, dyspepsia, constipation, inactivity of the liver, malarious fevers, and many other disorders. Its basis is sound o’d rye, the purest liquor known to commerce, and itself possessing tonic properties of no mean order. decl7-F,M,W&wlw An Easy Way tp Buy a Plano.

[Special Correspondence of the Morning News.] . Ameeicus, December 16, 1875. The Conference was opened by religi ous service by Dr. O. L. Smith, late President of Emory College, Bishop Daggett in the chair. The roll was called and a number of additional members, who were not here on yesterday, answered to their names. The transfer of Rev. J. D. Anthony from the North Alabama Conference was announced. Rev. J. Anderson, D. D., of Florida, was introduced. Rev. A. Wright introduced a resolution in reference to district conferences, fixing the rate of representation. It was laid upon the table. The Board of Education reported the election of Rev. J. O. A. Cook, President, and Rev. J. W. Burke, Secretary and Treasurer. On yesterday afternoon Rev. James Dunwody, one of the oldest preachers in the Conference, filled the pulpit. He is eighty-six years old. and has been a trav eling preacher, according to Methodist parlance, for fifty-nine years. He is al most blind—so much so that he cannot read. He stated that he had preached in this community forty-four years ago, when there was not a frame house in the village. He retains his mental faculties in a remarkable degree, and delivered a discourse distinguished for its terseness and fervor. At night the pulpit was filled by Dr. J ames E. Evans, formerly of Savannah, but now of the North Georgia Confer ence. This was also his former field of labor. Tir report of the condition of the Southern Christian Advocate was read and referred to the committee on that sub ject. The examination of Elders’ character was resumed, and the characters of the following were passed : Joseph F. Key, Thos. F. Christian, J. T. Ainsworth, W. I-ane, J. M. Potter, Thos. S. Armstead. G.

One brother had failed to make his collection for the “worn out” preachers. The law of the church is absolute in its demands. The preacher reserved the right to decide as to the propriety. It brought out considerable discussion, in dulged in by the Bishop and members, and the recreant brother was admon ished to mend his ways. An Elder, representing one of his preachers, remarked that he was like “an old fashioned country chicken-pie”— acceptable to eveiyhody. The Bishop complimented the Confer ence on the passage of the character of so many elders without a serious charge against any. He expressed his gratitude to the Almighty for so clear a record. THE BOLL OF HONOIt. The superannuated list was called, and the characters of the following were passed: Wm. H. Thomas, T. B. Lanier, Dennis O’Driscoll, Wyatt Brooks, H. P. Pitch ford, Young F.

Key, President, took the chair, and after the business was completed, it adjourned. S. The Profits ou Gas. The gas question is frequently discussed by our exchanges of other cities. The enormous profits that have been harvested by gas companies have not failed to attract the attention of consumers, and the cost and profits of gas have been carefully and accurately calculated. We have before us a brief article from the St. Louis Times, showing that the profits of the St. Louis Gas Light Company for the past ten years have been no less than five millions of dollars, while the actual capital invested in the company never exceeded forty thousand dollars. The enormous disproportion between in vestment and return is thi— seen at a glance. The Times , to show how these gains accumulate, takes the official state ment of the Pittsburg Gas Company, showing the distribution of nine thousand cubic feet of gas for each ton of coal, and then publishes a table of materials and their cost at St. Louis. We give this table as of interest. To make nine thou sand feet of gas there are required : One ton of coal (at St. Louis) $5 00 One bushel of lime ’ 26 Labor 1 25 Interest on $1,000,000 capital at S per cent.. 2 00 SO Two bushels of coal produce three bushels of coke, the works consuming one-half of the production. The remain der is sold in St. Louis at the rate of twelve cents per bushel. So, for each ton of coal carbonized the company real izes if 2 40, and to this is added the price of coal tar. Deducting $2 80, the pro ceeds of coke and tar, we have the cost of manufacturing nine thousand feet of gas in St. Louis reduced to $5 70, while the consumers pay for that amount of gas $29 25. The rate in St. Louis is $3 25 per thousand, while the actual cost to the company is a fraction less than sixty-four cents per thousand, thus giv ing a profit of $2 61 for every thousand manufactured. —Augusta Chronicle. Sib John Franklin.—-History pos sesses fewer examples of more heroic bearing and self-sacrificing efforts for the advancement of the material interests of mankind than that exhibited by this noble martyr in his exertions to make a discovery which if accomplished would open to the world advantages beyond computation. But how insignificant are geographical discoveries when compared with those that benefit the human organi zation, showing how in this life enemies may be vanquished, how the brain may be invigorated and rendered capable of grasping the most abstruse questions, whether scientific, commercial or me chanical. This can never be the case while the body is enfeebled by disease. The blood must be healthy, all machinery of the body must be in perfect working order, otherwise the brain is weak and total incompetency to grasp the great issues of life is the result. Such a discovery has been made by Dr. Tutt in his celebrated Liver Pills. They have accomplished more good to the human family than could ever have been attained by the success of Sir John Franklin. Try it; keep trying it, and try it again. We say this because we believe that the health, happiness and prosperity of the poo ple depend upon the proper use of these medicines, which have proved so successful in eradicating disease and defeating death. The medicine so effective in its cure of dis eases is the great Southern remedy, Sim mons’ Liver Regulator. Try it; we believe that the first trial will be satisfactory. decl7-F,M,W&wlw Tlie Human Hair.

OFFICE OF THE MORNING NEWS,) Savannah, December 21, 1875, / General Remarks.—There has been a mod erate degree of activity in the general market. Jobbers have been busy filling orders from the interior and serving the few merchants who were in the market. The demands of the trade have been principally for holiday goods, though a fair aggregate amount of staple merchandise nas been disposed of. The amount of trade, however, has not been so large as for several years previous, on account of the stringency in the money market and the general depression in business of all kinds which has pervaded the whole country this year. The retail trade has shown a falling off also, as compared with last year, and merchants generally complain of hard times. Dry Goods.—The trade in this branch has shown less activity than any other, there being but little demand for them just at the holidays. Groceries and Provisions.—There has been a good general demand for this line of mer chandise, and jobbers, as well as retailers, have been kept busy filling orders and serving customers. There have been but few price changes during the week, the only one of importance being the decline in meats, caueed by the dullness in West ern markets. Cotton.—The market for spot cotton has un dergone no decided change since our last report. The early part of the week the market was quiet but firm, but for the past three days has ruled dull and easier, with unchanged quotations. The daily resume of the market for the week, as given below, will show its tone and condition for the week. We close to-night dull and lower to sell, at for— Good Middling 13X@— - 12%@- Low Middling 1 2X®— Good Ordinary 11 %® — Ordinary lOK'tf— Sea Islands. —The market opened with a more quiet feeling this week, but in the past few days a considerable demand has been developed, resulting in the sale of about 600 bales at very full prices.

We quote : Common Floridas 30® —c Medium Floridas 31@33c Good Floridas 34@35c Fme Floridas 38®40c Futures.—The future market has been dull and neglected, with sales of only 400 bales for the week, all being for February; at 13c. Crops.—There has been so much cold weather the past week that it has interfered to a consid erable extent, in some sections, with picking, while in other sections we hear of good weather, and that where cotton still remains in the fields picking has progressed without interruption. The receipts of cotton at this port for the past week from all sources have been 26,992 bales upland and 1,146 bales sea island, against 29,880 bales upland and 311 bales sea island for the corresponding date last year.
