Subject to the decision of the Democratic Convention.
Call for a State Democratic Conven
tion-
Atlanta, Ga., Juue 26. 1872.
At a meeting of the Executive Com
mittee of the State, held this day, it was
resolved, that a Convention of the Dem
ocratic party be held io the city of Atlan
ta, on Wednesday, the 21th day of July
next, at 12 M., in the Capitol building,
in Atlanti, for the purpose of nominating
an electoral ticket, and a candwXTe foi
Governor. Coumies will be entitled to
the usual representation.

THIS BALTI tlOKB t ONVElVriOJf.
By the time this article is read the
Baltimore Convention will have met
and acted, and from present indica
tions we are constrained to believe they
will either nominate Horace Greeley,
or they will make no nomination.
Those who have read this paper
can testify that we have labored ear
nestly to prevent such a calamity ; for
in our opinion, either no nomination,
or the nomination of Horace Greeley
by a National Democratic Convention
■will be a great calamity. In either
case we shall be left to the dire neces
sity of choosing between Greeley and
Grant. Such a calamity might have
been avoided by nominating a sound
and popular Democrat, such as Gen
Hancock or Judge Thompson of Penn
sylvania. It is now almost certain
that either of these gentlemen could
have got the vote of Pennsylvania and
Indiana, which with those States which
are sure for a Democratic candidate,
would have secured their election.
Such a victory wouid have been worth
working for. By such a victory we
should have saved the country, saved
our principles, saved our party. By
electing Horace Greeley, we save the
Radical party, save the constitutional
amendments, and save Ben Hill. The
difference between the two victo
ries are as great as between light and
darkness, honesty and dishonesty,
H eaven and hell. And who have we
to thank for selling the great Demo
cratic party with all of its honors and
principles : A few greedy, impatient
trading politicians, who were up for
“ Cowes and a market.” Let this elec
tion go as it may, these men will long
be remembered. The prime movers
in this new departure from Democrat
ic principles into the camp of the ene
my are mostly men who are Democrats
only from their teeth outwards. They
do not feel at home in the Democratic
party, and wish to destroy it. These
men in all of the county and State
Conventions have pushed themselves
forward, and in many instances con
trolled the Convention. The manage
ment of Ben Hill at Atlanta is a fair
specimen of the class. Ben said if ever
he was a Democrat he did not go to
be one. But Ben managed to manipu
late the Democratic Convention to
suit himself. He went on to New York
and basked in the first rays of the ris
ing sun. He drank at the fountain
head of coming greatness, power and
patronage. He returned to Atlanta
the night before the Convention, in
flated with Greeleyiem aod his own
importance. Of course he became an
oracle to the Convention. All of those
who are looking forward to offices un
der Greeley did homage to the new
courtier, and received his sayings as if
inspired by Greeley himself, and Ben
became the pivot of the Convention.
Now when we remember there are little
Ben Hills in every county, we can ac
count for the Greeley movement.

Messrs. Editors: As the subjpet of
the Sena.orship of our district (20th)
is now b?ing agitated, allow me to sug
gest the name of Hou. G. F. Pierce,
jr., of Hancock, as one capable, com
petent and popular. No one stands
higher in the present House of Repre
sentatives, or has mote influence. He
is a rising young man of whom any
constituency will be proud.
A CARD.
A paragraph in the last issue of th®
Central Georgian expresses regret that
Mr. Price of Hancock had announced
himself a candidate to the Senator
ship from this District—upon enquir
ing of Mr. Price the writer might have
learned authoritatively that such is not
the case. Mr. Price does not propose
to anticipate in any way the action of
the Senatorial C'-nvention ; nor will
his name appear for nomination, un
less his friends in the Convention vol
untarily place it there.

Gen. Colquitt.—It has been stated
that Gen. A. H. Colquitt will not al
low his name to he used as candidate
for Governor before the Democratic
Convention, under any circumstances.—
We believe that to be a mistake
He will not allow his name to be used
to embarrass the prospects of Gov.
Smith; but in case it should be seen
best to withdraw Gov. Smith’s name
we have but little doubt as to General
Colquitt being our next Governor.
The Late Prof. Morse.—The illus
trious father of our present system of
telegraphy who died recently appears
in an exceedingly fine likeness (steel en
graving) in the July number of “The
Eclectic Magazine” before us.
We take this occasion to call the at
tention of our readers once more to
this Magazine. It is made up mainly
from the ablest selections from foreign
periodicals. No narrow-minded Yan-
keeisms ot style or sentiment deface its
pages. It offers a true exponent of
the liberal progress of the human mind
throughout the civilized world, in lit
erature, in science and in religion. The
contents of the July number are unu
sually full of attractions. The articles
number exactly twenty, and each is
worth the price of the Magazine a year.

in our city has rapidly increased o

The Greeley Flame—Our friend
of the Telegraph & Messenger con
tends that the great Greeley flame that
is spreading over the country has all
originated in spontaneous combustion
among the masses. We do not think
there is anything in Greeley’s public
or private character to produce enthu
siasm among the people of the South
and that the Greeley flame is merely
the combustion of gas manufactured
by politicians of the Ben Hill school.
The people at the South take G.eeley
as they take quinine to keep off the
Grant chill. If the Delegates assem
bled in council at Baltimore prescribe
the Greeley pill we shall try to swal
low it.
The Atlanta Constitution asks how
shall Greeley be taken up by the De
mocracy ? We answer, with a pair
of long tongs, if at all. But some of
our pretended Democrats are not only
willing to take him by the hand, but
to embrace him on both cheeks and
sleep w\th him if they can get a chance.
Many who are now anxious to take
him up we b«\» eVe will drop him like a
hot potato before a y ear>

EX ACT I NAT I ON AT LINTON
Messrs. Editors : On last Friday, the
23th of June, I had the pleasure, with
several friends from Baldwin, of at
tending an examination of the pupils
of Washington Institute—a mixed high
school, located in Linton, Hancock
county. I have attended many during
my life at different places, but have
seen none to surpass this. The differ
ent classes were thoroughly examined
not only by their teachers but by sev
eral visitors present; and the accura
cy the pupils displayed in all lessons
they had passed over during the ses
sion, convinced us that neither pupils
nor teachers had been idle.
Mr. Ivey M. Duggan, the principal
of th is school, is certainly a thorougl
and energetic teacher; and Miss Sallie
Cone, his assistant, must be equally so;
any one hearing her classes recite,
could not fail to be impressed that they
were taught by a master-hand. The
music department of this school is un
der the special charge of Miss Willie
Mone, and the advancement of her
scholars, proves very conclusively that
as a music instructress, she has not
been recreant to her trust. The ex
amination of the different classes con
tinued all day. About 8 o’clock, P.
M., a large concourse of people, some
six or seven hundred, were assembled
to hear about twenty of the young
gentlemen declaim, and the same num
ber of the fair ones to read composi
tions, for prizes. A committee ot five
gentlemen were selected as Judies to
award prizes to the best in different
classes ; all acquitted themselves hand
somely. The Judges, I understand
had a difficult task to decide, hut did
at last decide in favor of the following :
1st class of girls, prize to Miss Min
nie V. Adams.
2d, to Miss Minnie Latimer.
3d. to Miss Dora Gilmore, of Twiees
County.
1st class of boys to Charley Stanley.
2d, to Manson Hitchcock.
3d, to Mell L. Duggan.
4th, to Wm. A. Adams.
The prizes were delivered by Mr. A.
Miller Dubose, a talented and promis
ing young lawyer of Sparta, Ga , who
addressed the students and audience in
an easy and graceful manner. His ad
dress was very interesting and appro
priate to the occasion. I don’t think
f ever saw a happier crowd of people
together; all were smiles and sun
shine. It reallyappeared as if no one
had “ a trouble to roll across their
peaceful breast,” except a few young
men, who were captivated by the
smiles and dazzling orbs of some of
the fair ones; they really seemed to be
in trouble. But Messrs. Editors, “ you
know how it is yourselves,” and if a
young man should go to such a place
as Linton and lose his heart “ is it any
body’s business?” Linton, in my
opinion, is one of the most suitable
places for a high school I know of; it
is a quiet, healthy and delightful vil
lage, good water, and the best of so
ciety ; the hospitality of its people
cannot be excelled ; one attendance at
an examination there proves this.

From tile Marietta Journal.
A M'B.tP OF HISTORY.
The old aphorism that “ Repub
lics are ungrateful” and that “man
kind generally are envious of the good
names ot their fellows” especially
when won by meritorious actions, have
been instanced in the beggary ot Bel-
isarius and the ostracism of Aristides.
The approbation of good men is great
ly to be desired, but is evanescent,
while the approval of one’s own con
science, for the proper performance of
duty, is a consolation that he carries
with him to the grave. This is ever
present and sustains one under the re
verses of lot tune and the lrowns of
fate, the other passes away from the
memory of men, and however imper
vious the duty, or perilous the per
formance, the occasion loses its impor
tance, and the action grows dimmer
atm more dim, untii the mention of it
may be thought irksome, and its per-
lormer an immodest egotist if he men
tion the matter or claim a merit for
the doing of it.
These thoughts occurred to me last
whiter on hearing a member of the
Legislature, a native Georgian, and a
Democrat, suggest that the State of
Georgia, and particularly the Demo
cratic party, owed a debt of gratitude
to Dr. Angier for doing his duty
(which, by the way, would have been
criminal in him to have neglected) in
protecting the interest of the State, in
exposing the robberies of Bullock and
his gang, and that he ought to be re
elected to his present position if he
desired it. I tried to ask myself as to
the extra merit of a public officer
could claim for the performance of
that which he has taken a solemn oath
to do? And further, what risks has
he run or danger dared in the doing of
it? True the handling of a large
amount of money is very tempting to
an avaricious, unprincipled man, but
to one who has sought the office,
and contracted with the State to serve
her for a settled salary, if the tempta
tion suggests itself it is waived away
without an effort or even a regret.
No man however, not soured with en
vy, will withhold the meed of honest
praise to him who passes through the
danger of these temptations without
having some of the dust of office
sticking to his clothes. Small sums
claimed by him over and above the
stinted salary allowed by the State to
her public servants, in the shape of
iuterest on deposits, or wither a bonus
from the Banks lor the the use of the
public money, or extra pay for sign
ing Bonds authorized by law, uotwith
standing the warning ot his consci
ence that the signing of those not not
at the lime proper or authorized by law
But to return to the main proposition,
“That the State would be guilty of
ingratitude if the present incumbent
was not re-elected if he desired it.”
Now, while I would accord to him
every commendation a gratetul people
could bestow 7 , I must ask are there no
others in the State, naiive and “ to
the manner born” to whom Georgians
should feel grateful and bestow favors
or if you please, rewards, for faithful
performance of duty ? I have a recol
lection of a scene which occurred in
my presence in the “ old Capitol” af
Milledgeville a little over four years
ago. The Convention then sitting in
Atlanta after passing an ordinance to
raise a tax for pay of its members, dis
covered that the money would be tar
dy in coming in and ordered, by Reso
lution that one of its members, whom
it had made financial agent should go
to Milledgeville and draw Forty
Thousand Dollars to find themselves in
victuals, clothing and refreshments
until the tax could be collected; and
to make the matter sure they got Gen.
Pope to endorse the Resolution with
his order to the Treasurer to pay the
money.
The Financial Agent, who by the
way, is the present Treasurer, pro
ceeded to Milledgeville and presented
the Resolution with its military en
dorsement at the Treasury. I hap
pened to be present, and I wish you
could have seen the quiet smile and
polite manner of the old Treasurer
when he handed back the paper and
informed its bearer, that he had no
money in the Treasury appropriated
for that purpose, and that he could
not pay it. The financial Agent seem
ed rather at back, and to think that he
might not be believed when he went
back and told the Convention that the

Resolution and disobey Gen. Pope’s
Order, so he requested and the Treas
urer gave him in writing, his refusal in
these words, as near as I can remem
ber seeing them in print in the papers
at the time, “ The laws of Georgia,
the oath of office I have taken to sup
port them, and good faith to my Secu-
curities prevent rny obeying your or
der to pay money from this Treasury
under Resolution of the Couventiou
now sitting in Atlanta. Very respect
fully, &c.”
Well, sir, I was also present when
Gen. Pope being removed, Gen. Meade
took command in Georgia, and, on the
refusal of Gov. Jenkins to draw a
warrant for the payment of the Con
vention, issued an order removing him
and Treasurer JoDes from office. I
saw Gen. Ruger and Capt. Rockwell
when they were introduced by Mayor
Williams, and the Treasurer rise to
receive them. At his request the of
ficers took seats. The General pre
sented the order of removal. The
Treasurer received, read it, and re
marked, “Having no power to resist
you, sir, I have nothing to say but
that there is the office and its furni
ture, the vault key is in the door.”
“How much money is in the vault?”
a?ked General Ruger. “None,” was
the reply. “Where is it then?”—
“ That I can’t tell ?” “ Don’t you
know?” “ Yes, sir.” “Then you
won’t tell?” “That is it, if you ob
lige me to say so.” “We can find

although there were numerous cases

continues to-day.
The Committee of the Employers’
L'uion have issued an address to the
workmen, appealing to them to re
sume labor, which is being distributed
to-day in German and English by
thousands.
The World, referring to a private
circular of disaffected parties advising
a Democratic bolt at Baltimore in case
the Cincinnati nominees should be en
dorsed, and which has already been
published, says that is a disorganizing
movement iu which it takes no stock.
means, but having determined on my
duty in this matter, I can give you no
other answer.” “ Well, sir,” says Ru
ger, “I shall hold ibis matter under
advisement, meanwhile Capt. Rock
well will relieve you from further du
ty in this office. Capt Rockwell in
quired what Clerks were necessary
in the office, and requested to "be
shown how the books of the Treasury
were kept. Col. Jones asked the
Clerk to open Capt. R. a set of books
of two or three years back on a desk
in the front office. “Old books?”
said Ruger. “ Where are the books of
this year?” “Pardon me. General,”
said the Treasurer, until I make my
settlement with the Stbte of Georgia
as required by law, the books of this
office are my property, ami upon their
proper preservation depends my repu
tation, and perhaps the fortunes of
my securities, and of course I must
refuse to deliver, or exhibit them, ex
cept to those who put me here.”
Again a hasty threat burst forth and
was answered in the same firm, quiet
manner as before. For several mo
ments not a word was spoken, every
thing still. I scarcely breathed; at
length a bright manly smile passed
over Ruger’s face, and with genial
frankness turning to the Treasurer he
said, “ How much money have you
under your control ?” and was an
swered in the same spirit, “About
Four Huudred Thousand Dollars.”—
“ What are you going to do with it?”
“ It was appropriated to pay the in
terest on the public debt and to take
up a few State bonds maturing this
year.” “Will it require that amount
to do it?” “Yes.” “Are you sure
it will be devoted to that purpose ?”
“ I am, ur less its depository is discov
ered and a seizure made.” “ Well, go
on,” said Ruger. “ I see no reason to
disturb its destination, I am here as
temporary or provisional Governor,
and don’t know how long I shall re
main, but your State shall suffer noth
ing in public or private by any act of
mine.” The two men then walked out
of the Treasury together, and I could
see that each had inspired the other
with that sincere respect that true gen
tlemen always entertain for those who
prove their gentility by their bearing.
A few weeks thereafter. Col. Jones
was arrested by order of Gen. Meade,
and paroled by Gen. Ruger to the lim
its of the State. He remained in ar
rest bntil the session of the Legisla
ture in July, 1868, when the present.
Treasurer was elected by the “Pie
bald Assemblage” of that year.”
And now, Mr. Editor, let me ask
when we lack of gratitude for official
duty faithfully performed, where is.
there better occasion for its exercise,
than in rewarding the brave man who
risked imprisonment and probably his
life in saving the money and credit of
the State, even when urged by friends
that he could not suffer in person or rep
utation by yielding to arbitrary power.
Suppose for the sake of the argument
that each, had done the same duty and
braved the same dangers. I hold that
the meed of praise or (if you think it
due) gratitude should be bestowed
first, on the first sufferer for duty’s
sake. The former Treasurer was re
moved, deprived of his office to which
his fellow citizens for the fourth time
had elected him as a tried, capable and
faithful officer, to make way for the
present incumbent, elected by the
“ Carpet Baggers,” seal la wags and ne
groes, for whom great merit is claim
ed and gratitude is evoked, because he
did not help Bullock, Blodgett, Kim
ball & Co., to steal what remains of
our poor old Georgia. Mr. Editor,
there is said to be reason in all things
The present Treasurer has held his
office almost four years, has drawn
the salary allowed him by law, $2,000
per annum. According to the report
of the Comptroller General last win
ter he drew on Conley’s warrant
$7415.26 interest on deposits of pub
lic funds, Prof. Orr says on the School
fund, which he appropriates to his
own use under Resolution of the last
session, “ that the Treasurer should
not be held accountable for interests
on deposits', and he has (according to
Gaskill) received remuneration from
private parties for signing bonds which
he seemed to think it improper to
sign, all which extra pickings brings
his pay for services to over four thous
and dollars per annum. Finally I
would ask, did the present Treasurer
lose by the war? If anything, I have
never heard of it. Col. Jones’ dwell
ing and out houses were burned, his
stock driven off", his furniture destroy
ed, and his plantation devastated,
while he in obedience to the order of
the Legislature had taken theTreasu
ry of Georgia to a place of safety out
the reach of Sherman and his maraud
ers, and which he brought safely back
to Milledgeville without the loss of a
dollar.
But what’s the use of talking ?—
What I write is to be read by South
ern Men, Georgians, Democrats, and
pondered on. Right is right, and
wrongs no one.

THE WILD INDIAN.
Pbill Skeridlu FimtiHg for war.
Washington, July 3.—Col. Davidson,
commanding at Camp Supply, informs
the War Department that the Keowas
are again on the war path in the direc
tion of Fort Sill. General Pope says
he does not fear the general hostilties.
Colonel McKinsey, commanding the 4th
cavalry, in a letter dated Fort Richard
son, Texas June 6, says the Indian dep
redations are becoming alarmingly fright
ful, and that the depredators are Keowas
and Comanches who are fed daily by the
Indian Agent on the Canadian river.
In endorsing this communication, Lieut.
Gen. Sheridan says that all the Indians
on the reservation are engaged in this bad
work, and he sees no way to stop their
outrages except by the action of the mili
tary at fort Sill and Camp Supply. He
requests permission to go in and wipe out
the hostile Indians, and says the idea of
trying to protect the long line of Northern
Texas from Indians who are supplied
witli food, arms and ammunition at the
Reservation seems too ridiculous.
Terrible Affray.—From the Aiken
Journal we learn that a terrible affray
occured late Monday afternoon, in
which two well-known citizens of the
county were mortally wounded at the
hands of Captain E. J. Black, a citizen
ofBlackville. We have been unable
to gather any particulars further than
that the difficulsy originated with Mr.
Solomon Groves, Tax collector, and
Captain Black, while disscussing poli
tics. Both were greatly excited and a
difficulty seemed imminent, when J. S.
Groves, son of Soloman Groves took
up the quarrel. Thereupon BlacK
drew his pistol, but before he could
use it, the Marshal of the town N. F.
Turner, came forward and tried to pre
vent a difficulty. No sooner had he
done so, however, than Black fired at
him, shooting him down, and then
turned and fired at young Groves.
While the s’hooting was going on, Mr.
Solomon Groves succeeded in secur
ing a bar of iron, and as soon as Black
had fired the second shot he struck
him over the head, felling him to the
earth, but he soon regained his feet
and attempted to make his escape.
He was pursued and recaptured, how
ever. Mr. Turner, who was first shot,
died in about an hour, and young
Groves lies in a very critical condi
tion, great doubts being entertained ol
his recovery. A1 the parties who
figured in the tragedy are welt known
in the county, and the terrible denoue
ment has cast a gloom over the entire
community in which they resided.—

Indian Troubles in the West.
New York, July. 3.—A Salt Lake dis
patch of last night states that the reports
of the recent, murders by the Indians
have been confirmed, and at a council held
there yesterday, consisting of Assistant
Secretary of the Cowan, Gen. Woods,
Gen. Morrow, Indian Agent Dodge and
several other officials, it was resolved that
Dodge should immediately proceed to the
southern part of the Territory and call a
council of the Indian Chiefs of the various
tribes and intrnct them to their reserva

them that the Government will take
prompt measures to vegorously move
against them. Strange detachments of

The Coliseum Organ.—But one fatal
accident served to mar the harmony
of the opening piece, says the Cleve
land Leader, and that was entirely
unavoidable. It appears a workman
who had been engaged in setting up
the great organ the day previous
had left his shoes in the great sixteen
foot pipe known as’ the “Bourbon
Double Mouth.” Thinking he had
time to get his shoes before the per-
formonce, he descended the pipe, but
while inside the signal came, the air
was turned on, and like astone from a
catapult, his body was shot up through
the roof, followed by his shoes, and
both were picked up on Bunker Hill
later iu the day. The trifling impedi
ment of a human body in the pipes
does not affect the beautiful clear tone
of the organ iu the least.
General Grant’s mode of dealing with
robbers of the public treasury ; A man
named Speer was Collector of Internal
Revenue in the State of Kansas. He be
came a defaulter of the amount of $161.-
297.37. The law laid i's hands upon him,
and also its sureties. The latter were able
to pay the whole amount if matters had
been pushed. But Speer was a Grant
nominationist, and matters were not push
ed. On the contrary, the case was set
tled on the payment of only $11,000 into
the Treasury. Speer had 8161,297.37 of
the people’s money, and used it. His ad
justed account for this amount passed the
Auditor’s office on the 2d day of last Feb
ruary. Of course, Grant had Speer’s in
fluence in the Philadelphia Convention, as
be had that of Jersey Cityr Bumstead,
who is now m the Penitentiary at i Teu

is a high price to pay for the influence ol

Age of Men.—Professor Faraday
adopts Flourins’ physiological theory
that the age of man is one hundred
years. The duration of life he believes
to be measured by the time of growth.
When once the bones and epiphyses
are united, the body grows no more,
and it is at twenty years this union is
effected in man. In the camel it takes
place at eight; m the horse at live;
in the lion at four ; in the deg at two ;
iu the rabbit at one.
The natural termination of life is
five removes from those several points.
Man being twenty years in growing,
lives five times twenty years, that is
to say one huudred years; the camel
is eight years in growing, lives five
times eight years, that is to say forty
years; the horse is five years in grow
ing, and lives twenty-five years, and
so with other animals. The mao who
does not die with sickness, lives every
where from eigiity to a hundred years.
Providence has given man a centnry
of life, but be does not attain it, be
cause he inherits disease, eats unwhole
some food, gives license to passions,
and pennits vexation to disturb his
healthy equipoise ; he does not die, he
kilis himself. The professor divides
life into two e.qual halves, growth and
decline, and these two halves into in
fancy, youth, virility and age. Infan
cy extends to the twentieth year,
youth to the fiftieth, because it is du
ring this period that the tissues become
firm ; virility, from fifty to seventy-
five, during which the organism re
mains complete; and at seventy-five
old age commences, to last a long or
short time, as the diminution of reserve
forces is hastened or retarded.
Jones assumes on coming home to
dinner, the beariug of an outraged hus
band : “Why is it, Mrs. Jones, that
you ride through Wall street in that
very equipage I am struggling to main
tain for you at high charge, and cut
your husband?” Mrs. Jones at once
reassures him. “ You certainly would
not have your wife, from a five thous
and dollar barouche, bow to a man
who works for his living.”
The Drunken Colonels.—In the
early part of the war, IS. A. Hurlbut
and U. S. Grant led two Illinois regi
ments into Missouri. Both were flam
ing Democrats, and threatened to turn
their swords upos Gen. Fremont
should he dare to inaugurate his abo
litiou policy. Unfortunately, too, they
were both beastly drunkards; and the
local loyal press called upon President
Lincoln to take them away, as they
were bringing the cause to disgrace
and ruin. Well, for some inscrutible
reason, Grant became President, and
one of his best diplomatic positions
was given to Hurlbut, who is now at
home again, and has just been nomi
nated to represent his District in Con
gress.—Manchester Union.
Counsel for Parents.—Nervous
children suffer untold agonies from
fear when put to bed alone. No tongue
can tell the horrors of a lonesome room
to such children. A little delicate
boy whom his parents were drilling to
sleep alone used to cry violently every
night, and his father would come in
arid whip him. He mistook his perti
nacity for obstinacy, and he thought
it his duty to conquer the child’s will.
One night he said : “ Why do you al
ways scream so, when you know you
will be punished ?” “ Oh, father, fath
er!” said the little fellow, “I don’t
mind you whipping me, if you OLly
stay with me.” The father’s eyes were
opened from that moment. He saw
that a human being cannot be govern
ed by dead rules, like a plant or an
animal.
The Administration is greatly exercised
about the first importent election for State
officers which is to take place in North
Carolina on the 1st of August. Largi
assessments have been ordered on the of
fice b'dders, and the Republican National
headed by xe-Senator Morgan, Commttee
of New Y ork, are expected to supply the
sinews of war for carrying on the campaign
Leading speakers will be sent down du
ring the next fortnight to make a thour-
ough canvass of the State, and Mr. Bout-
well, Secretary of the Treasuiy, has en
gaged to deliver several speeches, in the
hope of stemming the current against
Grant. These signs indicate uomistaca
tily a fear of the result, and a desperate
purpose to start the Presidential ball,
with all the power of an alarmed and ag-
itateed Administration.

The proprietor °f this celebrated medicine Jostle
claims for it a superiority over all remedies ever offer
ed to th public for the safe, certain, spredy and per
manent cure ot Ague and Fever, or Chills and S ever,
whether ot short or long standing. He refers to the
entire Western and Southern country to bear him lea-
timouy to the truth of the aaseiti .o, that iu no case
whatever will it fail to cuie if the directions are
strictly followed and carried out. Iu a great mauy
,-asea a sing'e doee has been sufficient for a cure, and
whole families have been cured by a single bottle,
with a peitect restoration of the general health. It iij
however, prudent, and iu every case more certain to
cure, if its use is continued iu smaller doses for a week,
or two after the disease has beeu checked, more es
pecially iu difficult aud long-standing cases. Usually
this medicine will rot require any aid to keep the bow
els in good order. Should the pati ut, however, re
quire a cathartic medicine, after haviug taken three or
lour doses of the tonic, a single dose of BulCt Vcre-
i .jle Family Pillt will be sufficient.

is a most successlul apiarist, commenc
ed the season last spring with two hun
dred and eighty-five swarms of bees,
and increased the number by swarm
ing to six hubdred and forty-six.—
Thse swarms produced within a frac

honey, which sold, strained, for four
thousand one hundred dollars. The
Jefferson County Union says :
“We often hear women say that
there is no remunerative employment
for them. As an answer to this, we
would state that Mr. Grim has two
daughters, who have each taken sep
arate etiarge of an important part of
the apiary. Miss Kate Grim has by
her skill and attention the past sum

Tom Thumb and his Friends.—The
Tom Thomb party, consisting of Gen.
Tom Thumb and his wile, Commodore
Nutt and Minnie Warren, accompa
nied by their manager, Mr. Sylvester
Bleecker and wife, their Treasuer
Mr. B. S. Kellogg, and others mak
ing in all thirteen persons, who
arrived in New York in the steam
er Egypt on the 23d inst., have been
absent for three years, and completed
a voyage round the world. They went
overland to Colifornia, thence to Ja-
por,, OUina, A naintliw, iho I4ao6 Indies,
returning by way of the Suez Canal
to the European continent and Great
Britain. They have traveled fifty-
five thousand miles, (thirty-one thou
sand by sea,) given one thousand four
hundred and eleven entertainments in
different cities and towns in ail cli
mates of the world, without losing a
single day or missing a single perform
ance through illness or accident. The
little General long sii.ee accumu
lated a fortune, and has just completed
a fine residence at Middleborough
Mass., the birth-place of his wife.
The “little people” have been received
with “the most distinguished consider
ation” by the highest dignitaries of
all the countries they visited. Pres
ents and honors were showered upon
them wherever they went, and they
return to the land of their birth loaded
with “spoils,” and with minds exten
ded and stored with information and
pleasant recollections that will afford
them happiness during lifetime.
Having kept diaries during their
travels, and having taken time to see
all that was to be seen, Mr. Bleecker
is preparing for publication a book
entitled, “Gen. Tom Thumb’s Voyage
Around the World.” It will be full of
novel incidents, anecdotes and adven
tures. Notwithstanding the General’s
affluence, he and his party are so fond
of excitement that they have conclu
ded to make one more tour of the Uni
ted States, beginning in September
next.

learned, eloquent and popular Ministers of the Method*

Louisville, Kr., Oct. 8,1868.
Dr. John Bull—Dear Sir: Many thanks to you
far the medicine you have so kindly given me. I have
been a great sufferer for years, am had the advice of
various physicians. Some pronounced my spine, soma
my lungs, and some my heart to be the seat of my dis
ease. 1 have been burnt, blistered and cupped until
I had become disheartened. Several very eminent
physicians who examined my spine informed me that
£ was threatened with paralysis ur appnplexy auy day
and that nothing but a seton would relieve me. I hati
a perfect horror of that, aud was hesitating about
having one inserted, when you kindly »ent me your
Sarsaparilla which I immediately begun to take thre*
times a day. I had suffered terribly with a most
acute pain in the righ. side of my head, espeeiallT
when I would read or write for any length of time, aud
on rising to my feet I would be periectly blind for
several minutes, aod wouid have to hold to something
to prevent failing.
1 am most happy to inform you that the paiu in my
head is entirely relieved ; I suffer but seldom with my
spine and then not so acutely- My appetite is gooa ,
mdeed fur the first tune in my life I enjoy my dinner
more than any meal during the day.
Von kindly sent me four bottles again last night,
and I began again this morning, and 1 iiope to be so-
tirely relieved- Please accept my heartfelt thauks and
best wishes.
Very truly your most grateful friend,
M. B. C. Rivers.
My journal abounds with similar letters, all of
which I guarantee lo be genuine and written by th*
persous whose names they bear.
Do not suffer yourself to be imposed on. Don’t be
drawn away after new aud doubtful experiments.
Don't risk your health by letting novices experiment
upon you with tiieir trash. My Sarsaparilla lias stood
me test tor twenty five years, it is still the Sarsaparilla
of the day, and of the age, towering over all others in
popularity and its cut alive qualities. Avoid all thosa
who are trying to palm off on you other extracts of
Sarsaparilla, so-called. Remember it is Dr. Joha
Bull’s Sarsaparilla, of Louisville, Ky , that is the old
aud reliable remedy tor impuritieB of the blood aud
scrofulous affections. Always bear that in mind.
