MACON, GA., July 30, J872. ; Practical Cookery. The difference between practical and theoretical knowledge applies as well to the art ot Cooktry, as to the other fine arts. I assume as indisputa ble the proposition that cookery is one of the “ Fine Arts.” If the world is disinclined to recognize it as such in the past, we hereby so canonize it for all the future. Books for instruction in this indis pensable art are of great abundance. We dare say that of stupid ones there are enough, we know. But we can say with positive certainty that there is one written by a Southern lady, eminently concise and practical, wise and economical. We refer to Mrs. Elliott's Housewife. Mrs. Sarah A. Elliott of Oxford, North Carolina, by this admirable vol ume, has won a place in Ida Raymond’s popular volume, “Living Female Writers of the South.” Her home is in Oxford, N. C., and persons desiring this elegant volume may procure it, sent by mail, by transmitting one dol lar and fifty cents to her, or to her publishers, Messrs. Ilurd & Houghton, New York. Not only are the contents of the volume excellent, but the bind ing is both beautiful and substantial. An examination of Mrs. Elliott’s vol ume, and the opinions of experienced housewives on the subject, constrain us to say that Mrs. Elliott’s work is the embodiment of the latest improve ments in Cookery. It has been adopt ed as a standard authority by Queen Victoria in the Royal Kitchens at Wiudsor Palace. GOV. NUITII N LETTER OF ACtlEP TAKt'E. Atlanta, July 24, 1872. Hon. James M. Smith, Atlanta : Dear Sir—The undersigned have been appointed a committee, by the Democratic Convention, this day as sembled here, to inform you that you have been nominated, by a unanimous vote of the Convention, as the Demo cratic candidate for the office ot Gov ernor of Georgia. We herew ith enclose a copy of the resolutions adopted by the Conven tion. It gives us great pleasure to make this communication, and to assure you that your brief administration re.ceiv- ed the cordial indorsement of the Convention, as it bad already previ ously received the hearty approval of the people. Permit us to express the hope of our common constituents and of our selves personally, that you will ac cept the nomination so heartily and unanimously tendered. With the highest respect for your official and private character, and with a Godspeed to you in the good work you are now performing, vve remain, dear sir, with great respect, Your friends and ob’t serv’ts, Jas M. Mobley, Julian Hartridge, Wm. E. Simmons, Ira It. Foster, Warren Akin, Committee. Atlanta, Ga., July 29, 1872. Messrs. James M. Mobley, Julian Hart- ridge, JVm. E. Simmons, Ira It. Foster, Warren Akin, Committee: Gentlemen—I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your com munication of the 24th inst, informing me that the State Democratic Con vention had nominated me unani mously as their candidate for the of fice of Governor. For this great honor I cannot com mand language in which to express my gratitude. The unanimity and heartiness with which the nomination was made, add another to the many obligations, already resting upon me, to serve with all possible zeal and faithfulness a people who have so hon ored and trusted me. The resolutions adopted by the Convention have been careful consid ered and I take pleasure in stating that the principles therein enunciated meet with my warm approval. The re-affirmance of “the unchangeable doctrine that this is a Union of States, and that the indestructibility of the States, of their rights, and of their equality with each other, is an indis pensable part of our political system,” is a pledge on the part of the Conven tion that the Democracy of Georgia will continue to adhere to the princi ples of constitutional government. These great fundamental principles of our Federal system should never be forgotten or abandoned. And yet, to use the language of one of the resolu tions, I fully “recognize the exigen cies of the times wh-ch suggested and secured the nomination by the Dem ocratic party at Baltimore, of Horace Greeley and B. Gratz Brown, as can didates for President and Vice-Presi dent of the United States, and regard their election as conducive to the pre servation of the rights of the States, to locai self-government, and the pro tection of the individual liberty of the citizen.” It would be uncandid in me not to say that I should have been glad it this exigency had not been upon us. The power of naming the caniidates, however, was specifically lodged by the party in the National Convention. That Convention, like a court of the last resort, is the highest party tribu nal in the land, and beyond it there is no other or further appeal, without going outside of the party. This lat ter course I cannot adopt. I cannot separate myself from my own people. Nay, more : I would stand by them, even when iu the wrong, rather than give the enemies of good government my countenance and support. The National Convention having nominated candidates for the Presi dency aud Vice-Presidency, and the State Convention having recognized and accepted these candidates, I shall not permit myself to call in question either the wisdom and patriotism which directed the choice made by the one, or the acceptance and indorse ment accorded the other. The Democratic party, with Greeley and Brown as its candidates, is infinitely, preferable in my judgment, to any oth er political organization in the coun try. I shall give to the Baltimore nominees, therefore, my earnest and zealous support, believing that in their election the cause of honesty and con stitutional government will achieve a triumph over fraud, corruption and usurpation. 1 may add that since my accession to office, I have had but little time to bestow upon national affairs. We have a great work before us here iu Georgia, sufficient to engage the best efforts of every patriot in the JState, and I havegiveu my band and heart to that work. To complete this work successfully, it is necessary that we preserve the integrity of the Demo cratic party here at home. It is nec essary that we be united and zealous and forbearing, slow to condemn or to magnify differences upon matters ot minor concern. If we but pursue this course, the good work we have in hand will have been finished at no distant day. Meanwhile let us hope that the great and powerful party to which we belong, will be enabled, with the aid of liberal and patriotic men from other political organizations, to accomplish the same beneficent revolution in our national affairs that we have already effected here in Geor- gia. With the highest appreciation of the honor conferred upon me, and with many thanks for the kind terms em ployed by you in communicating the action of the Convention, I accept the nomination, with a pledge that, if elected, I shall, to the best of my abil ity, discharge the duties of the great trust placed in my hands by a confi ding people. Very truly, James M. Smith. GREELEY 8 LETTER OF ACCEPT- ANCE. He Accepts the lYoininnlion I'pon a Flat- lb rut “ Inroatcatabl? Krpublicuu aud Emphatically Demo cratic." The following is Mr. Greeley’s let ter, accepting the Baltimore nomina tion, in reply to the letter of the com mittee appointed to notify him there of : New York, July IS, 1S72. Gentlemen: Upon mature delib eration it seems fit that I should give to your letter of the 10th instant some further and fuller response than the hasty unpremeditated words iu which I acknowledged and accepted your nomination at our meeting on the 42th instant. That your Convention saw fit to accord its highest honor to one who had been prominently and pointedly opposed to your party in the earnest and sometimes angry controversies of the last forty years is essentially note worthy. That many of you Liberal Republicans should present another candidate for President, aud would more rapidly have united with us in the support of Adams or Trumbull, Davis or Brown, is well known. I owe my adoption at Baltimore whol ly to the fact that I had already been nominated at Cincinnati, and that a concentration of forces upon any new man had been proved impractica ble. Gratified as I am at your concur rence in the Cincinnati nomination, and certain as I am that you would not have thus concurred had you not deemed me upright aud capable, I found nothing in the circumstance calculated to inflame vanity or nourish self-conceit. But that your Conven tion saw fit to reaffirm the Cincinnati platform is to me a source of the pro- toundest satisfaction. That body was constrained to take this step by no party necessity, real or supposed. It might have accepted the candidates of the Liberal Republicans upon grounds entirely its own, or it might have presented them as the first Whig con vention did Harrison and Tyler, with out adopting any platform whatever. That it chose to plant itself delib erately, by a vote nearly unanimous, upon the fullest and clearest enuncia tion of principles which are at once in contestably Republican and emphati cally Democratic, gives trustworthy assurance that a new and more aus picious era is dawning upon our long distracted country. Some of the best years and best efforts of my life were devoted to a struggle against chattel slavery, a struggle none the less earn est and arduous because respect lor constitutional objections constrained me to act for the most part on the de fensive in resistance to the diffusion, rather than in the direct efforts for the extinction of human bondage. Throughout most of these years my vision was uncheered, my exertions were rarely animated by even so much as a hope that I should live to see my country peopled by freemen alone. The affirmance by your Convention of the Cincinnati platform is a most conclusive proof that not merely is slavery abolished, but that its spirit is extinct; that despite tiie protests ol a respectable, but isolated few, there remains among us no party and no for midable interest which regrets the overthrow or desires the re-establish- ment of human bondage, whether in letter or in spirit. I am thereby jus tified in my hope and trust that the first century of American independ ence will nut close before the grand elemental truths on which its rightful ness was based by Jefferson and'the Continental Congress of ’76 will no longer be regarded as glittering gen eralities, but will have become the universally accepted and honored foundations of our political fabric. I demand the prompt application of those principles to our existing con dition. Having done what I could for the complete emancipation of the blacks, I now insist on the full enfranchise ment of all my white countrymen. Let none say that the ban has just been removed from all but a few hun dred elderly gentlemen to whom eligi bility to office can be of little conse quence. My view contemplates not the hundreds proscribed, but the mil lions who are denied the right to be ruled and represented by men of their own unfettered choice. Proscription were absurd if these did not wish to elect the very men whom they are forbidden to choose. I have a profound regard for the people of that part ot New England wherein I was born, in whose com mon schools I was taught. I rank no people above them in intelligence, ca pacity', and moral worth; but while they do many things well, and some admirably, there is one thing they cannot safely or wisely undertake, and that is the selection for States remote from and unlike their own, of tiie per sons by whom these States shall be represented in Congress. If they could do this to good purpose, then re publican institutions are unfit and aristocracy the only true political sys tem. Yet, what have we recently witnessed ? Z. B. Vance, the unques tioned choice of a large majority of the present Legislature of North Caro lina, a majority backed by a majority of the people who voted at its election, refused the seat in the Federal Senate to which he was chosen, and the Legis lature thus constrained to choose an other in his place or leave the State unrepresented for years. The votes of New England thus de prived North Carolina of the Senator of her choice, and compelled her to send another in his stead—another who in our late contest was, like Vance, a rebel, and a fighting rebel, but had not served in Congress before the war as Vance had, though the latter remained faithful to the Union till af ter the close of his term. I protest against the disfranchisement of a State, presumptively of a number of States, on ground so narrow and technicalas this. The fact that the same Senate which refused his seat proceeded to remove his disabilities after that seat had been filled by another, only serves to place in a stronger light the indig nity to Nortli Carolina, and the arbi trary, capricious tyranny which dic tated it. I thank you, gentlemen, that my name is to be conspicuously associated with yours in a determined effort to render amnesty complete and univer sal in spirit as well as in letter. Even defeat in such a case would leave no sting, while triumph would rank with those victories which no blood red dens, and which evoke no tears but those of gratitude and joy. Gentlemen, your platform, which is also mine, assures me that Demo cracy is not henceforth to stand for one thingand Republicanism for anoth er ; but these terms are to mean in politics, as they have always meant in the dictionary, substantially one and the same thing, equal rights, regard less of creed or clime or color. I hail this as a genuine new departure from outworn feuds and meaningless con tentions in the direction of progress and reform. Whether I shall be found worthy to bear the standard of the great Liberal movement which the American peo ple have inaugurated is to be deter mined not by words, but deeds—with ine, if I steadily advance; over me il 1 falter. Its grand array moves on to to achieve for our country her glori ous beneficent destiny. I remain, gentlemen, yours, Horace Greeley. To Hon. James R. Doolittle, chair man, of the Convention, and Messrs. F. W. Sykes, John C. Macabe, and others, committee. An Aggressive Campaign.—In the campaign this fall, by no arts of their opponents, can the Democrats aud Liberals be placed on the defensive, l'lie campaign is not to be fought on the dead issues of the past, but on the living ones of the present. The Gree ley men are the attacking forces. On Grant’s four-year record and the four- year record of the Radical party will the Radicals have to stand or fall. It is meet, then, that in the campaign the opponents of Radicalism should take the initiative, and this they are doing. All over the country the Voices of leading Democrats and Liberals are heard, warning the people of the dan ger of lour more years of Grant, ex posing his record since he has been President, showing not alone his per sonal unfitness, but the unfitness of the party ot which Morton, Chandler, Conklin<r, Cameron & Co. are the lead ers, to be intrusted with the reins ot power. They also show that the movement for Greeley is from and of the people, who are tired of keeping longer alive sectional strifes, turmoils, and bitterness, and have determined to place iu power men in favor of peace and reconciliation. In this State the campaign on the Liberal side has already been well opened. Here the Radicals are most strongly intrenched, aud the task of redeeming the State is no small one. But all that is necessary is a continu ance of the earnestness and vigor which have already been exhibited. Tne Radicals are at a loss to know what to do. On every side they wit ness delaction after defaction from the party, aud the rank and tile are already unmanageable. Every Greeley aud Brown ratification meeting that is held strikes terror to their hearts. They have in this State scarcely held a meet ing yet. The Democrats and Liberals have held many; are enthusiastic in the cause, and all that is necessary to carry the people with them is to strike while the iron is hot—while the Radicals are demoralized, and before they can rally and discipline their forces. To redeem the State the active co operation of Democrats and Liberals is essential, and we are glad to see that steps have been taken looking to this, it having been decidtd at a con ference of members of the Democratic and Liberal Republican State Central Committees, held in Grand Rapids Thursday, to adoptdti)> same line of action us has been tempted in Illinois, and put a coalition ticket in the field. The State Conventions of the Demo cracy and Liberals will, therefore, ho held at the same time and place. * * But to pursue an aggressive and successful campaign organization is the first requisite. This must not be neg lected. In many localities the work has already been well begun, and Gree ley and Brown clubs organized. The bail must not be permitted to to stop. There must he no resting, satisfied with our labors, until the day of election. Let Greeley and Brown clubs he or ganized everywhere. Let Democrats and Liberals vie with each other in their determination to throttle Radi calism, and success will surely crown their efforts.—From the Detroit Free Press. A portion of Professor Agassiz’ par ty, though not the Professor himself, spent May-day on the island of Juan FernamRz the scene of the story of Robinson Crusoe. Fernandez discov ered the island in 1-56:3, and left some goats upon it, which multiplied, and became the means of sustaining life to subsequent adventurers. An Indian was left there in 1681, and staid three years. Then came Selkirk, who re mained from October, 1704, to Febru ary, 1709, in absolute solitude. The story of the Scotch sailor amounted to little, until the genius of Defoe trans formed it and made it immortal. The island is described by a Tribune cor respondent with the Ilas&ler expedi tion, as ten miles hy four, with mouu- taneous ridges 3000 feet high, precip itous shores, and deep water close in shore. The present population con sists of twelve persons, including chil dren. Wild goats abound. Tne in habitants sell beef, milk, poultry and vegetables to passing ships, especially American whalers. Mr. A. T. Stewart.—The gener ous contribution of Mr. A. T. Stewart to the Liberal cause is not measured in its importance by the amount.— Twenty thousand dollars is a bag atelle to the merchant prince, but the expression of sympathy with the cause, carried by the fact of the con tribution, is worth more than as many millions. For this act shows, more plainly than any verbal statement, with which party the practical busi ness men of the country feel their in terest safest. Mr. Stewart’s most no table characteristic in his shrewdness and perspicacity. No mail knows better what is calculated to promote the prosperity of commerce and trade, and thence the prosperity of all class es ; and no one sees farther into the complicated contingencies of the fu ture. That such as lie should hasten to advance the Liberal cause is an ev idence that the business of the coun try has much at stake in the contest, and that the overthrow of the Grant Administration is the practical need of the hour. It is not improbable that the greater part of the commercial public sympathizes in this sentiment, since corruption and fraud in the ad ministration of national affairs has al ready made its malign influence felt in trade, and another tour years of this regime would be terrible in its demor alizing efleet.— Boston Post. Governor Vance’s Last.—When Governor Vance spoke at Newbern the Radicals, true to their low instincts, concocted a plan hy which the speaker wa9 to be mortified and disturbed, but somehow, as will be seen, it rather miscarried. The boomerang hit the ones that threw it. While Vance was speaking a certain animal with loi g cars was led as near the stand as tho crowd would allow; and presently he began to send forth some alarming sounds, which, once heard, are never forgotten. Vance paused for a mo ment, and then, waving his hand to ward the animal, said : “ Now you just hush, you old Radical—I never promised to divide time with you.” The animal and its keeper vamosed the ranche, and the crowd yelled and hal loaed.— Raleigh Sentinel. There is a species of honey bees in South Africa without stings. They usually take possession of hollow tiees, in which they construct rows of wax cups nearly the size of an eggshell. When lull of honey they are capped over to exclude air, which preserves the coutents in a fluid state.
