Corner of Hancock and Wilkinson Streets.) Wednesday Morning, April 10, 1872. Farmers’ Club of Baldwin County In our Local column will bo found a call for a meeting of the Farmers' Club of Baldwin County. Tbe farmers of this county have determined to move—they are going to be considered no longer a helpless minority. The old red bills of Bald win are aroused. Let the Agricultural Societies of every county of the State hold their meetings and approve of Governor Smith's action or disap. prove it. If tbe furu era of Georgia ever intend to strike a blow for themselves, now is the appointed time. The attention of the papers of Georgia friendly to the Agriculturalists are called to this notice. Doc* liar Ncrip given to Georgia to Eafnb- lisli an Agricultural College Belong to llae People of Georgia, or to the Atlanta Ring aaul the Athens Junto? The above is a very important question which the Legislature will have to answer. We say the Atlanta ring anil the Athens Junto, because these two combin ations of politicians liuve formed an alliance as is clearly proved by the provisions of the hill published in another pliice. which bill was coueocted by the friends of the University and Atlanta conjointly, and gave two-thirds of the scrip to the University and one-third to the Atlanta negro College. This bill was read twice, but the friends of the University having learned the disposition of the Legislature, forbore to press it and chose finally to operate on Gov. Smith. We regret that Gov. Smith saw lit to accede to their wishes, both on his account and on the account of the people of Georgia. We believe we were the first to propose his name for Speaker of the House and also for Governor. We believed,if there was a politician in the .State, that could withstand the demoralizing in- fiueneeHof the Atlanta ring, that he would do it. We regret to see that he has succumbed. We feel sure that this action of the Governor has taken a very- large majority of the people of Georgia by surprise, and has greatly disappointed muny of his best friends but wo do no* believe his action will be final. ■ The law of December, 1866, under which both Gov Smith and Conley acted in relation to the land scrip is as obsolete as the patrol law or the blue laws of Con nectieut. It i- not one of the laws recognized by the Constitution of 1868, aud is not found in Irwin’s Di gest, ami we do not think the Legislature of Georgia will sanction Gov. Smith's disposal of tne land scrip; if it does it will disregard the will of the people. The Athens University has some three or four times made application for the scrip, all of which have been re jeeted. There are two important interests opposed to giving thescrip to Athens. The agricultural and the religious interests of the State, both, are opposed to sending their vonng men to Athens, because it has long been considered a political, rather than a liters- Ij the State ktwrrs her own mind, and tc ) v 6 think the do, this whole business will be done over again. TilK CAPITOL. Coming Events cast their Shadows before them. It is even now whispered that Atlanta is calculating upon wringing one million and a h df of dollars out of the people of this State for the purpose of erecting a Capitol building suitable to the progress of Atlanta- Think of it, oh ! people of Georgia, a Capitol build ing suitable to the progress ot Atlanta. They say it will be seen that Bullock has not stolen as much as the people think and that wheu the people find out that they don't owe the immense sum of money sup posed, they will be so much pleased that they will give Atlantan Capitol costing one and a half million dol lars—suitable to its pi ogress. People ot Georgia when the time conies, and we warn you now to watch for it, let that matter rest with you. If you wish to give the million or million and a half dollars, give it; or if you think H al your buildings here that hare cost you three quarters of one million of dollars, are good enough, will you be chiselled out of your lights ? Fi? 5 ' The great eflfervesence on the free tuition idea gotten up by the University men does not tally very well with what a University man said to our Dahloc- ega friend. Our fi iend said “that the mountain boy* were too pool to go Athens.” ‘-If they are too poor to come to Athens let them stay away,” said the Uni versity man. Ills the acme of a certain setto make the Georgia Uni versity—just exactly what it used to be—a political hot lied. Do those men suppose that the people who j have gone through with the last ten years of revolu tion cau't see tbe fins of their owu Louse. All of thie tree tuition! how will it be managed ? YY’e say to the people if you do not rise lu your wrath upon the Ath ens University you will see the day soon come when the one student for each Representative or Senator will he wlmt ? the bright-eyed boy ot some honest, hard toiling farmer? No! hut the sou of some polit ical pet or sharp wire puller will always be selected on account cf some political service done, which the toil ing fanner had no time for. This is no slur upon either Representatives or Senators, for they have but the same human nature of all others. We make this suggestion by way of a compromise that will settle what will otherwise be aiiproanrg quarrel. Will it not be wise on the part of the State to sell the Opera House and the Janies Building iu Atlanta and give one-third of the proceeds to Dahlon- ega, one third to Marietta and the other to some point in (ten ral Georgia for Agricultural Mechanical and Military Colleges ? Then the Legislature can come back to Milledgeville where it legitimately belongs, and where good buildings are waiting tor it- Georgia Agricultural. .Vlerbnnical and 71 il- itary Institute. We have just received from Marietta a circular of t lie above institute. We congratulate our friends there upon their being once more able to commeuce on hal lowed ground Ibis enterprise, and hope that they will be successful in establishing a flourisning school. We see the name of our old friend Col. A. S. Atkinson, and we assure our Marietta Mends that they could nit have made a more judicious selection, for the Colonel is a professor, n..d created so by natnre. No man knows better how to draw the boy out and make him study in spite ot himseit than our old friend. Again congralulating the people of Marietta on having se cured lis services in connection with those of othei worthy names that we see. we bid them good speed with their Georgia lustiiute. For the Federal Union- The Agricultural College Land Scrip. When Conley privately sold the Land Scrip we I cursed his traitorous dishonesty to his Slate and his j people; but.alas ! what can we say now, when men whom we were proud of as being among our wisest and our best, give and take that same Land Scrip. privately, and under the same obsolete law from which Conley took his authority ? Jc*- For the Federal Union. Is there no Hope for Georgia ? The recent ill-advised action of Governor Smith (and if not ill advised, then I nui willing to bear the blame of my sayings) has pained aud disappointed many true hearted Georgians- Wheu I read the noble aud patriotic letter from Gov. Jenkins little did I dream that his next public action would be to bead a political clique, and disappoint the hopes aud expectations of the bone and sinew of Geor gia. I do not speak here in the interest of any place or section. I sweep over the whole of our State and ask the yeomanry if they are satisfied with this action. I am talking to Georgians. TLe farmers of tbe South and of Georgia are to day the veriest slaves on the face of this earth; preyed upon; in debt; the war and its results affecting them to a greater extent than any other class of our people ; they are now prohibit ed from enjoying the pleasure of controlling a donation intended especially for the agriculturalist- I very much fear that the donation of the land scrip to the Athens or Georgia University will work out much political evil, for we have here in this State, as most people knew, two classes of citizens who are distinct races of people, and it behooves politicians to act with caution. Never, for my part, having wished for the Agricul tural College to be established in the Capital buildings, I sympathize with those of iny friends there and else where who have been disappointed. I was pained to sec so muny distinguished names brought forward, it would seem, as a screen for the action of the Governor hut can only console myself with the reflection or hope that it may not be thus always. What J have said is not in spite ; the facta wring themselves from me in spite of myself. It seems a.- if I now see standing all alone the old Capitol building, a standing monument of Georgia’s deepest disgrace It were well if the rulers that be (if they represent the people of Georgia ?) would send thither Grant and Alexander with their convicts, and destroy these stains upon the honor of the Slate. If truth, honesty, and justice belong no longer to the present, excuse me it 1 prefer to remain with the royal pa.-t. If the progress or plunder is that which has to control the people, and they content themselves with the reflections that revolutions never go backwards, 1 beg to be torgiven when I say to my people go on, bnt I warn yon that terrible and destructive will be tbe inevitable result. Hancock. The Land Scrip. Editors Federal Unton—Please allow room for a few remarks. There was a report most industriously circulated by parties unknown, that Milledgeville would deceive the mountain boys, and go in to get all of the scrip. I reckon that the rogues can be seen now. 1 want the mountain boys to remember tbe men who have deceived ns all. No section of this State has had justice since Radi calism carried the Capital to Atlanta; there seems to be an atmospheric corruption epidemic in that city. I wonder if the men who are getling up all this bun combe about free education think the people are going to swallow their gas; if they do, they aie fools d. I al ways liked the Georgia University until now. Since this low down, mean action on its part, I have no use for it. V\ hat do our mountaiu friends say? Plain Talkek. For the Federal Union. The Atlanta Constitution. Having for some time been a subscriber to the At lanta Constitution, I am exceedingly disgusted to toe that sheet come out and try to screen the action of Gov. Smith on the land scrip, by staling that no place bidding for the Agricultural College was incorporated save the University. That barefaced assertion is a most stupid mistake—and as all stupid mistakes are— it is the natural result of ignorance. The Oglethorpe College High School is incorporated I know, and with its charter was offered. The Mint at Dahlonega was also incorporated ; and the Georgia Agricultural Me chanical and Military Institute at Marietta. I will ask Squire Constitution if any iuqu-ries were made ? If our people are going to sleep oil their rights— if be came such a big crowd got together in Atlanta they are going to be scared out of their rights—then the farmers ( who have been made poorer than anybody e se by I lie war, ami who are growing poorer every day supporting the politicians and everybody else) had best break up their plow stocks and take to suck ing State paps for a living. I have been a farmer since the war. and know some of its hard experiences, I tell you, Messrs. Editors, that lor oue man I am against this slur on the farmers. The Athens school has got the Agricultural College and 1 say, whether that College lias duty done it or not the eood old plain practical fanners could have made ami would have made, and if they get hold of it, will make it a success. T ie Atlanta Constitution is evidently experiencing a severe internal griping. I wonder if that paper thinks that it is omnipotent—it is a most curious jour iml—it grasps and nails up to its masthead the name of each paper that approves of the scrip swindle ar raugemeut. Truly it is bad off. I see that its issue of tile 41 h quietly chuckles over a parcel of Bulfock let ters in it» possession Bully for the Constitution. It must he in the d—I of a fix to have to resort to that Trot out your letters Constitution—make ’em all pnb- lic. You have got our curiosity excited. Bah 1 what a tuine ; it neerts a fumigation. I suppose that I have a right to wonder a little myself, aud what I wonder is this; how much State pap do such papers suck at one time. Oconee. For the Federal Union. GUANO. Georgia News* Death mt Father For the Federal Union. The Augusta Chronicle Hnd Sentinel of the 4th says “something was due Milledgeville” and then goes on smoothly for a while, and then Mr. Cbron. icle and Sentinel so modestly and quietly aban dons the field. You ueed try no Greek horse with the people of Milledgeville Mr. Chronicle and Sentinel.. We think the Chronicle’s friendship for Mil- ledgevilla “mortal dim.” Occasional. Disjointed Logic. The editor of the Atlanta Constitution who profess es to be acquainted with tile inmost recesses of the Governor's heart, says that Gov. Smith had long ago determined to give the land scrip to Athens. Wo ask, then, What was the n-cessity of that secret meet iDg of the Athens junto at Atlanta, and that formidable pro cession with Gov. Jenkins at its head, to persuade Gov. Smith to do what he had already determined to do. Again that paper says that, “To have given it to Dahlonega, Marietta or Mil- ledgi.ville, was out of the question, asthe institutions at these places are not incorporated, and Gov-.ruor Smith has no power to incorporate.” This is a mistake. Each of these places had organ ized Institutions. But iu another place in same pape r we find this carious announcement: “At a fil l meeting of the Board on yesterday the new Georgia State College of Agriculture and Meehan ic Arts was organized by the Trustees of the Universi ty, the aet of organization complying most strictly with forms of the donution by Congress.” So it seems the Foard of Trustees organized a netr College. Who gave them the power to charter a new College. The truth seems to be that the outside pre». sure ot the ring was too great for the Governor, aud he surrendered without discretion. Commenting upon the recent award of the ag ricultural land scrip by Gov. Smith, the Chronicle and Sentinel, of Thursday, says: rassments under w hich Governor Smith labored.— We confess that our own predilections were that there should be established a “new college” at Milledgeville. Something was due Milledgeville Tne sue is healthy, central aud convenient. The vacant Slate government buildings, which so ma i’y hallowed associations surround, did seem to us Jit to be consecrated in cur memories by an instiu- lion which would command itself and perpetuate those memories with the youth of onr State.— Cuu d the ear and the direction ot the Legislature j land's Recollections; Marco Folo, and Travels in his have been iuvoked, we are sure the appeal which H ~ —’* • - - ■ • — - would have been made would have been i-resista- ble Bin time forbids. Tbe time which the act ol Congress Lad permitted an appropriation to se cure the fund had nearly elapsed—would elapse before the session ot the Legislature in July.— The limitations in the act itself restricted the as- signmeut to establish'd institutions of learning ;— and of such institutions, so established, there only eiisted the University of Georgia, treed from the objection of a denominational religious feature.— Wnatever of preference, therefore, we may have had we yield to the exigency of the case and the discretion of the Governor. But in yielding we claim that tbe policy ot free tuition now inaugu rated shall bereatler be lully carried out. Our motto henceforth shall be : Free Tuition in the University. W e thank the Editor of tbe Chronicle and Ben- tinel tor his kind feelings and good word for Mil- edgeville. But we can assure him tbat tbe diffi. culty about the time elapsing did not really exist. Mr. Price of the 6th District had prepared a bill exumii"g the time until after the Legislature s mu. again assemble. We are assured that this fact was well known in Atlanta before tbe scrip was awarded and 0D l y hastened the aefion of tlm Atlanta ring and the Athens Junto. To put th* plea of tbe want of time forever to silence w e Lave only to reflect that Goveraor Smith knew before the Legislature adjourned that the time would elapse before the Legislature would meet Again. Vhy then was it net settled before the Leg slature adjourned, or some action taken to have the time extended? We can anawer that que# -tien. Tbe friends of Athene bad discovered that the Legislature would not give it to the Universi ty and therefore they chose to operateon Governor Jgmith.

Rep. To Refund the Cofton Tax —The bill intro- duc. d into the House of Representatives to refund the coll on tax paid in tbe years 1865, 1806, 1867 and 1868. provides for tbe appointment of three commissioners to determine the sum due to each folaiinaut.

How gn at tboi<e inen—the men wli<> till thee-il— And make not da’iy bread, though hard they toil; Those men..they have a higher, notder aim— Another way of reaching wealth and fame ; On bones pnosphatieall their hopes are cast, Til the poor sinners see salvation past- On that year’s crop yet straightway 'gain they go And taka another rargo-of guano. A sinful man may from his sius cut loose, But they are lost whom guano doth seduce; Well may burnt dogs tear to approach the fire - Less wise than Tray, behold them drawing Higher On, on they go! each ou his merchant Liens'. Himself is gutted—cause—no hogs he cleans. Cotton is King ! -till strangers here would think That He was dead—they’d judge it by the blink That permeates around us everywhere, And spoils the pocket while it fouls the air; However they are nearer to the truth Than some would credit them with, aud forsooth With the corruptions both in field and State, (We pay for them in money at death’s rate) How can a people e’er expect to thrive, Unless they know what bargains they do drive? Now here’s a farmer—hearken to his speech, For he s a worthy—competent to teach : “ There’s brother B., my neighbor over there, Who used ten tons upon one field last year; As thick as crows at corn the buzzards came, And every pointer at that field took aim— With hound and cur of high or low degree— And smelt aud smelt, sud wondered where it be; Then with a radiant face came neighbor B-, And these the veiy woids he said to me : ‘ What ! neighbor A , no guano yet you use! You are the strangest man that e’er wore shoes! Now I will tell you what I’m going to do, This year I’ll make a Christian out af you ; Just watch the way that crop of mine will glow; Your mouth will water all the season through ; To cut the matter short, for it is o’er— Poor neighbor B—guano has made him sore; And yet sometimes he comes tome aud Buys I cannot understand the way it was; It stunk so bad the stencil I hardly stood, And yet iu Kpite of that it did no good; (But I’ve been told, now ju»t twixt you nnd me, That it was dirt just made to stink you see);’ At lust I answered him, and this I said: You, like each dog, by its bad suieil was led. What did you know? you only hoped to make, And drove your bargain—there was your mistake. Now common sense should teach yon. for 'tis plain, Most guano-makers make it tor their gain. 1 am no chemist, and can't analyze, To tell its truthful smelling or its lies; But this much I do know, had 1 a soil I’d send him where he’d learn lmw it's all done. I am too o.d you see to go to school, But not too old to keep from being a fool; And knowing pretty well wlmt I do know, I kuow enough to farm without guano.” Now it were well if every man would heed To that old farmer, for he sows his seed And reaps fair profits witli each closing year; Thus with each season he commences clear; A* now, aa I attempt to set friends right, I hope that none will accuse me of spite ; Perhaps in this I uudertake too much, But humble bards have not the power of such As rule a slate aud wish to carry the day, Or in position longer tune to stay. Head of no State a friendless bard can't call Upon great friends and catch the big dogs all, To bark aud growl the smaller fry away. While fools stand round and halloo out hurrah. Great it must be to have a big-bug crowd Stand at your back while license is a.lowed To give way * * * * or the like And rule the roost, and be the biggest Ike ; Perhaps such thing may turn out for the best; This much I venture now for all the rest, The more the farmers in this land aie fool’d Just so much easier is the country ruled ; For it is said that they will come and lick The baud of him who gives the hardest kick. On every side they see their foes advarce, But'r modest 'nough to loss a virgin’s chance, Aud surely they have been severely beat By Western corn as well as Western meat. ’Twould seem a glut—alas! it is not so— They go still deeper into their guano— Lose every chance—they have no part in State, And are not fit with alumni to mate. The Statesmen all at poor farmers sneer ; They scorn their power, therefore they don't care, And all together iu the State-boat club, While the poor farmer rides it iu a tub. For the Federal Union. The Agricultural aud Vliliinry College. Editors—The general welfare will be promoted by your calling public attention to the Bill called ‘ Bryan's Bill,” or the “UniversityBill” now pending before Ihe Legislature. It has been already rend twice, and re. ferred to the Committee on Education, who will very probably report it back iu the same shape, to the Leg. islature early in the July session. What is the public wish on this subject ? Are the people of Georgia ready to “adopt and establish” the negro College n( Atlanta, and the University at Athens, asthe “Agri- eultnral. Mechanical and Military Colleges” of Geor gia ? This Bill is understood to be the child of the Athene University; at least the Rev. Chancellor and one of the Professors of that University are reported to have uursed it and advoented it before the Joint Committee on Education at the last session of the Le gislature. Is this the best Georgia can do ?—teach negro boys agriculture in Colleee, and teach them Ag riculture and Military tactics jointly ? Has the Uni-s vereity at Athens nothing better to win ourfavor with, or show her wisdom by ? Read and decide. Let us hear from Agricu tural Societies. Richmond, April 5.— John A.

In our issue of the 2d of March was an item with ihe above heading, tbe intent of which appears in some quarters to have been entirely misapprehended. The ob ject we had in view was simply to induce planters not to put down all their land in cotton, bnt to give up a proper portion of it to food products. In always following out this idea consists, we think, the pros perity of the South. The meaning of our words, however, seems to have been con structed by some into an expression of a belief on our part that the next crop would reach five million bales or over. We think it can hardly be necessary for ns to say that any such inference from our item is wholly unwarranted. The crop ha3 not been planted yet, and we thiuk, therefore, it would be a little permature to determine its result. In the first place, we are not without hope that the South will conclude to plant their own food in stead of buying it. Again, it is beginniug to look now as if they were not goiDg to rush so blindly into fertilizers as was first indicated. Finally the capacity of the South to raise cotton with their preseut labor supply has a limit, though there is A f ow ^nnojr ♦ r\ if aw nnnnnnf n(- flip wonderful crop of 1870. Whether they have the labor to raise and save five million bales we do not care to decide—it is at present such a remote contingency, considering the planting even is very far from being complete, and in some sections scarcely begun. In writing tbe item in question we only had one de- sire, aud that was that the South would look ta aud decide the cotton question so as best to serve their own interests. To onr mind the whole problem resolve* itself in to two or three simple proposition*, and may be stated somewhat as follows. Why ’ are prices so high now 1 Because the crop is so short. Suppose we raise as much this season, as in 1870 what would be tbe natural result ? With the same crop else where prices would fall considerably, and with more raised elsewhere than in 1870, they might reach a very low point. Now if any oqe cares to dispute these proposi tions, we cannot argue with them, for to our mind they are clear and indisputable Such then being the case, is it not the part of wisdom for the South to first plant all the food the South needs, and then put in all the cotton which can be raised economically 7 There are a few men in every com munity-to use the the language of anoth er—who never do anything to assist pub lic improvement in the way of building up their town. They always protest that such improvements do uot profit them a solitary nickle. We notice, however, that every time a town secures a public improvement of aay importance, these same men, if they have any real estate, or building to rent, put up the price. A town composed wholly of such individuals, would be about as lively as a grave-yard. —Marion Democrat, The ustial horticultural exhibition will take placq at Augusta on the 15th aud 16th 61 May. . ** eT - My rant D.

Gov Smith has decided that the Judges of the Superior Courts of this Slate, who were appointed for four years, do not go out of office until 1873, aud that consequently the appointment of their successors will devolve upon the Governor who shall be elected next fall. A majority of farmers of Pulaski county have been compelled to plow up the corn planted a fe weeks ago and replant the land. From tbe Atlanta Constitution. LETTER EltO.VI GOV. SMITH. Grargin Fiunnces. Some weeks ago Gov Smith \va« requested by certain gentlemen to make such a construction ot the fraudulent Bond Act, passed at the late session of the Legislature, as would clearly express the inten tiou of the Legislature and the spirit of our people ou the subject of the bonds of he State.— We are permitted to publish the following portion of his letter written in reply : I had the honor to occupy the position in the General Assembly of Speaker of the Hens* of Rep resentatives when the act was passed, and had fa- vorhle opportunities of being adviseJ of the views of individual members on the financial interests ol tho State. Investigations were made during the seesion which led to the belief that my predecessor bad illegally and fraudulently issued, without registra tion, large amounts ol bonds purporting to he se. cuiiths cf the State, thereby raising money to serve his individual purposes. It was also be lieved that a large amount in the bum's of the State hearing c upoi.s, with the signature of the Treasurer lithographed, was still in circulation notwithstanding th - provision made for calling in such boudi for cancellation. It was still further believed that the Governor had. without authority of law, indorsed the bouds of certain railroad coin panics, amounting in the aggiegato to a very large sum. Being in possession of such information the Leg islature deemed it a duty to take such action as would uot only guard the Treasury against loss felt would most effectually ct unteract the depress ing effect upon the credit of the State, likely to re sult from theae illegal acts of Hie Governor The provisions of the act under consideration are, in mv opinion, the best that couid have been adopted to remedy the existing evil. Illegal and fraudulent acts, such as were b:lieved to exist could be ascertained only by the most rigid inves tigation. It was believed, with reason, that able and unscrupulous men had exercised all their in genuity in covering up their frauds, aud the most exhaustive enquiry would be necessary to expose them. For the puipose of making this enquiry effective, the Legislature determined to keep the whole subject under its own control ; ami hence the provision of the act requiring the investigation to be made by a committee cousisting of members of the two Houses- With, ut considering, separately and at length the duties imposed upon the committee, it will be sufficient to say tbat no more power was given thorn than was deemed absolutely necessary to collect the Information desired by the Legislature. To know which bonds were genuine and which were spurious, arid what indorsements had been made without authority, it was manifestly ueces- •ary that the history of each bond should he de veloped as far as possible. The feature in the act, however, which has giv en rise to most complaint, is that provisiou re quiring all bonds and indorsements issued since 1868 to be reported to the Committee on or before the first of April, 1872 The most persistent ef forts have been made, both iu tins country aud in Europe, to show from this provision of the set that it is the purpose of the State to repudiate its debt’ It has been gravely argued that this pro visiou, which was manifestly intended for nothing more than to enable us to ascertain the aim u::t of our indebtedness, is conclusive evidence of the ex istcnce ol an iu'eution, on our part, to refuse to pay the whole of our debt. We have warrant for ■ elisving that forged bouds of tbe State are iu circulation, and also that a large amount of our genuine securities are outsiandiug, ofwhch we have no registration. Un -er these circumstances, we call on our creditors to do them selves ana the State the service to report the cred its held bv them, so that we may obtain a knowl edge ot what we honestly owe. Exception is taken to this, and it seems to be annsidered bv some as amanntiug to proof conclu sive that we have already entered on the down ward road to dishonor and repudiation. It is dif ficult to conceive what motive could induce an opinion so palpably erroneous, except the mere mercenary desire to depreciate our securities |in the markets of the world, for purposes of specula tion. The debtor, who intends never to pay, wonld hardly concern himself about his indebted ness so much as to procure, st great cost of labor and money, a knowledge of what he has already determined to repudiate. A compliance with this provision of the act, it is net denied, will subject the creditors of the State to some inconvenience. This is regretted, ar.d by no person more than by the members of the Gen eral Assembly who passed the measure. In their opinion, however, registration was necessary for the protection of both the State and tbe bond hold er: and the manner in which it is required to be done would produce less injury than if done iu any other mode. Our creditors may rest assured that they will not be subjected to losses by a com pliance with the provisions of this act, if it is in the power of tbe Government to prevent or repair such losses. It is due to truth to say, that in the coarse of a very intimate association, both official and person al, with members of the Generai Assembly, I have no reason to suspect even that any ene of them fa vored, or desired, a repudation of tbe public debt On the contrary, tbe earnest desire of all seems to be that the credit of the State shall be preserved, and tbat her lair fame shall remain untarnished — In this,I am sure, they are the true exponents of the wishes and feelings ef their constituents. I know the people of Georgia and it is only justice to them to say that it is their fixed purpose to pay every farthing of the public debt. While justice requires tbat they shall protect themselves against the arts and practices of dishonest officials, their honor is concerned in meeting promptly every just claim upon the Treasury of the State. Holders of such claims may rest assured that they will not suffer less in trusting tbe people of Georgia. In condoaiou, 1 beg to say that my opinion up on the subject of tbe payment of our public debt is well known. The decisions of a packed court is not the measure of the rights of an honest people. Looking to the maintains net of her bon er, the State should fsel herself obliged to dis charge tbe fall measure of the liabilities enforced by the spirit of her contract. This, I doubt not, the State will do. I am, gentlemen, yours, respectfully, James M. Smith. and was educated at Yale College, where he grad uated in 1810. Having from an early age deter mined to he a painter, he sailed lor England, ar riving iu London in August, 1811. Mr. Morse, who made rapid progress iu his profession, exhibit ted at tne Royal Academy, iu !8I3, his picture, “The Dying Hercules,” of eolossal size, the plaster model which he m»de of the same i-ubject, to as sist him in his picture, received the prize iu sculp ture the same year. In 1820 be paid a second visit to Europe, and remained abroad three years’ Ou his return to the United States iu tbe packet ship Sully, in 1832. a fellow countryman, Professor Jackson, was de scribing the experiments that had just been made in Paris with the electro-magnet, when a question arose as to the time occupied by the electric fluid in passing through the wire. The reply being made that it was instantaneous, Jackson, recalling the experiments of Franklin, suggested that it might be carried to any distance, and tlmt the elec tric spark might be made the means of conveying and recording intelligence. This suggestion took deep hold of Morse, who proposed to develop the idea thus originated, and before tbe end of the voyage lie had drawn out the general plan of the system known by his name. After much difficul ty aud discouragement iu 1835 he demonstrated tb^ practicability of his invention, by completing aud putting in operation in the New York Univer. sity a model of his Recording Electric Telegraph, the greater part of tbe apparatus having been made by himself. In 1837 he filed his caveat at the Pat ent Office- In 1840 he perfected his patent at the patent of fice, aud set about gettiDg his telegraph into prac tical operation. In 1344 the first electric telegraph in the United States, between Baltimore and Washington, was completed. Since then its wires have been extended ever the countiy to the length of more than fifteen thousand miles. Submarine telegraphy originated also with Mr. Morse, who laid tbe first submarine telegraph lines iu New York harbor in the autumn of 1842, aud received at the time, from tbe American Institute, a gold medal for that achievement. Honors have been fairly showered upon Prof. Morse by European governmeutslaud sovereigns, and no American, probably, ever received so many marks of distinction as this man, who, if greatness be es.imated by the vast results of Hs invention, was beyond question one of the greatest men that ever lived. The SouthriH Stale*.—The London Chemist Sc Druggist, of a recent date, says truly of the Southern States: “If the Southern United States are not the garden of the world, it is rather the fault of three who are responsible for their cultivation and development, than from any other cause ou the face of the earth— Cotton, sugar and tobacco are products of such im mensity as io uwnrf those which other lands bring forth. Vast quantities of wheat ami rice are exported. Lux urious but uncultivated vegetation also testifies to its immense resources which a e forthcoming. Watered by the grandest rivers, rich in every variety of soil, millions of acres ot swamp yet unreclaimed, make it a territory which will supply the world.” A Sad Romance.—In a Boston boarJing-house on I'riday the wife of Thos. Williams, mechanic, whom she had laboted to support and nurse dur iug a long aud incurable illness, died in his pres ence from an overdose of laudanum, taken to qui et her nerves and procure >est. The husband was unable to render aid or call for assistance, and ex pired the next day. Mrs. Williams is said to have married against the consent of her parents, weal thy residents of Newport, who cast her off: but while both were dying a letter came offering the assistance too long withheld. The bodies were ta ken to Newport for burial. Full returns from Connecticut give Gov. Jewell a plurality of 1,940 over Hubbard, and a majority of 30 over all candidates, l’be paucity of the vote polled by the Labor Reform and Temperance can didates surprised and disappointed their friends — The Legislature is overwhelmingly Republican, there being a majority of 30 on joint ballot—a gain of six over last year. Providence, April 4.—Tho Democrats hare elected the Lieutenant Governor. The remainder of tbe ticket are Republican. Hartford April 4.—The Republicans gain four ou joint ballot in the Connecticut Legislature. The Ground* of Confidence- Whence comes that firm reliance, tbat absolute uudoubting faith in the efficacy of Hostetler’s Stomach Bitters as a remedy for indigestion, bil ious disorders, intermittent and remittent fevers, which notoriously prevail in all parts of the United States ? This confidence has been growing for twenty years, and it is still extending. It is not the result of credulity ; it has not been engender ed by any human device, but is tbe spontaneous and natural consequence of experience. What people see daily going on under tbeir own eye* they cannot queslion. When families in un healthy districts that resort to this wholesome vegetable tonic, as a preventive, escape periodica] fevers, and their immediate neighbors, who neg lect this precaution, are prostrated by the disease’ how is it possible that the phenomenon should be without its lesson ? In like manner when it i 8 seen that obstinate esses of dyspepsia, of live 1 complaint, of constipation, of nervous weakness’ and of general debility, yield to the operation o‘ the famous remedy, how can even incredulity it self withhold its endorsement ? Eye-witnesses of the salutary effects of the Bittetsare to be found iu every civilized settlement ou this continent.-— The thousands tipou thousands who owe their re storation to health and strength, or their preserva- tion from sickness, to its extraordinary medicinal properties are enthusiastic in its praise. The mul titudes who recommend it in a neighborly way to their friends and acq uaintances, as well as those who make public their estimate of its virtues, are always ready to state their reasons for the faith that is In them. They have all either felt or wit nessed its beneficent operations. Drnd and Living Bnllrr. While solid food, air and water are passinz into the living body to supply the waste which is the concomitant and tho condition of the production of tbe forces ot life, an uninterrupted stream, con stituting that waste, is passing from the body. In health the greater portion of the food becomes an integral part of the body, aud having served it„ time in that capacity, finally leaves it in the form either of water, of carbonic acid gas, or of a crys talline substance known as urea. These substan ces are separated from the blood by the excretory organs, of wbicli there are three, the skin, tbe lungs mod the kidneys. Of these the skin gives off principally water, the lungs principally water and cabonic acid, and the kidneys principally water and urea. The lungs not ouly act as organs o^ direct excretion, but bax^ also another function By the agency of the lungs the blood is supplied with oxygen, which, acting chemically upon the used-up tissue particles throughout the system, re models them into the new aud simpler excretive forms' The excretory processes depend closely upou tbe sup; ly ef well digested and duly assim ilated food: sud when tbe health is suffering from the insufficient action of the skin or kidneys, this is best rectified by improving tbe tone of the i, --4 liver bv using Dr. Fisch s uuequall- ed Bitters.
