HOPE.
uv EITIE BOWBBE CASTI.EN.
‘•j could lie down—like a tired child
And weep away tiffs life of care.”
Vef>, friend!—and I have borne the btmlenstoo,
That heavy lay u|K>ii our mortal being;
r too, have praved thatj**desth might steal on me"
When Hope seemed ever from my pathway
fleeing.
Ah, yes ! and often prayed that I might feel
This poor, proud heart grow ta d to worldly
feeling;
When metn’ry of the hearts I've fondly loved,
Os lips 1 fondly kissed, eame o’er me stealing.
I've seen my sweet, short summers come and go,
And knelt with tearful face o’er flowers dying;
I've seen (us lone birds to some stranger shore)
Without one hope, my cherished visions flying.
And when for me the sweet, bright May had passed.
When coining Night shut out my radiant Morn
ing ;
I’ve knelt despairing, bathed in bitter waves,
And kneeling, praying, felt no bright hope
dawning.
I’ve sobbed, low bent, at evening’s holy hour,
O’er precious forms stilled to a dreamless sleep
ing;
And when the sunlight crept thro mossy eaves
To win a gladsome smile, it found me weeping.
When life’s fast sinking sun shall set, oh, friend!
These hearts that withering cares below have
riven;
When on earth’s bosom night’s dark veil hangs
low,
Will greet the sweet, glad morning light in
Heaven.

OAK BARK EXTRACT.
St. Nicholas Hotel, 1
New York, September 19, 1868 /
Editors Recorder, Milledgeville, Qa.:
Many of my neighbors, aware of my con
templated visit North, are solicitous that
I should, while here, make inquiry as to
the demand for Oak Bark Extract, which
is being used in tiie manufacture of leath
er in the place of Crude Bark, thinking
that in view of the superior quality and
great abundance of Oak found all over
Georgia, the enterprise of converting tiie
tanning properties of the Bark into an
imperishable extract, might be made a
source of considerable profit, provided tiie
demand for that article and the price at
which it was selling, was sufficient to war
rent them in embarkiug in the manufac
ture.
In compliance with their wishes, I vis
ited many of tiie more prominent leather
dealers of Philadelphia, New York and
Boston, and conferred with them general
ly on the subject. I find them unani
mous in the opinion, that the demand for
Oak Extract will oe limited only by the
quality of the article put into market.
They all concur in tiie assertion, that Oak
Extract, is as free from injury in the pro
cess of manufacture, as is the Hemlock
Extract with which they are now being
supplied ; a ready demand may be relied
upon for all that can be produced, and at
prices that will prove highly remunerative
to those embarking in tbe manufacture.
J. S. Sbutby, of New York, the most ex
tensive leather manufacturer in tiie United
States, aud who has traveled extensively
in Europe, assures me that the European
demand will call for all we can produce.
He says tiiat the East India Extracts,
with which European tanners are now
principally supplied, must give place to
American Oak Extract just so fast as the
amount produced will supply its place, as
all tanners much prefer the Oak. I fiud
on inquiry, tiiat Oak Extract is selling in
Philadelphia at 10 cts, per lb. and in this
city and Boston it commands 12Jcts per
lb. Messrs. Graft & Young, No. 22South
Wiiarves, Philadelphia, say they will con
tract for ail they can get at Sets per lb.
Bo will A. W. Goodell & Cos., Cliff Street,
New York, and B. J. Sherman, No. 90 &
92, High Street, Boston. These are all
highly responsible Houses. lam also as
sured that one cord of prime Oak Bark,
will yield 95 gallons of Extract, which
will weigh 450 lbs and that at 8 cts. per lb,
[when Bark costs the manufacturer but
three dollars per cord,] it will return a
net profit over every expense of manufac
ture, transportation, commissions, insu
rance &c., &c., of twenty-five dollars per
cord. •
I also visited the office of the Com
pressed Bark Extract Company, Nos. 12
and 14 Cliff street, New York, and learned
from the President of that Compauy that
they furnished machinery for manufactu
ring Compressed Extract, (which, I under
stand, is tiie most preferable,) arid that a
factory complete in all its appointments,
capable of manufacturing 48 pounds of
Extract every tweuty-four hours, or two
cords of bark per hour, would cost from
eight to ten thousand dollars, (as per the
cost of 1 urn tier iu localities where con
structed.) I herewith enclose one of their
circulars, which gives all particulars ne
cessary to a full understanding of all de
tails iu relation to the enterprise.
Now, Messrs. Editors, as this is an en
terprise which interests all the people of
Georgia, I wish, through your columns, to
lay it before them, believiug that they,
like myself, will regard the oak forests of
our as one of the most important
elements of wealth embraced within tiie
heart of tbe Empire State of tiie Boulb,
aud tiiat its development will not ouiv en
rich all who embark iu it, but will serve
to stimulate every brauch of industry
throughout its entire limits.

The Disturbances in the South.—
The frequent riots and disturbances in
the South of late are not without signifi
cance. They form a part of the Radical
programme by which it is hoped to carry
tiie Presidential election. In every in
stance these riots have been inauguarated
by armed negroes, led by white Radicals.
Iu every instauce the Southern people,
knowing the object of these men, have
borne insult and wrong rather than afford
them the opportunity they sought for, and
it lias only been when their lives and
property have been threatened by Radical
mobs that the people have risen in self
defence. Knowing these facts, knowing
how blood is recklessiy spilled and proper
ty destroyed by direction of the Radical
leaders, what a bitter mockery is their
campaign cry—“ Let us have Peace.”—

ALIA GATOR’S LETTER.
. it.. ,; alo r ax a Missionary—Experience in Maury
t mmlv-Coullxcatloii Don't W ork.-Exoltlß* Chair
li'iiiilc attempt* to Organize a Militia Relief to
Luyalitv Imperatively Demanded-Some Moral
Reflections.
Kuklux X Roads, Maury Cos., Tenu., \
September 18, 1868. j
I have got myself into a sweet pretty
mess I have.
I am a victim to misplaced confidence,
ir old Proc, his sou John, anil the loyal
Legislature.
After sending you my letter of last week
I lad a long conversation witli old Proc’s
son John, who was highly exliileraled
over the acts of the Legislature, which he
said beat the acts of the Apostles 40 points.
He showed me an advance copy of the
old mau’s Militia proclamation and ad
vised me to go down to Maury county aud
raise a regiment of African loyalists.
He seemed to thiuk there was a fine
openiug for loyal missionaries iu that lo
cality, and I began to thiuk, in tiie light
of subsequent events, that lie was right.
Accordingly lie furnished me a commis
sion from the old man, of which he hud a
pocket full in blank, and I started ou my
travels.
I borrowed a pass to Columbia from one
of tiie State Directors of the railroad, aud
then struck oft - into the interior on foot. ,
My worldly estate, consisting of a dirty
shirt, box of paper collars, two twists of
tobacco aud a quart of whisky, I carried
in a pair of saddle bags.
We native loyalists are obliged to carry
saddle bags in order that we may be dis
tinguished from tiie carpet-baggers, or
interlopers from the North.
I at once declared martial law, and ns
tiie exigencies of tiie service demanded it,
I confiscated and pressed into tiie service
of the State—the State is me and Brown
low —a fine horse belonging to a rebel
whose house I passed early in tho day.
Unfortunately as I was riding peaceful
ly aioug old Proe’s highway, L happened
to meet the late owner of my steed.
I had been warned before coming into
this benighted country, that there were
strong prejudicesamong tiie people against
loyal men, and the conduct of this vile
and treasonable rebel convinced me that
the condition of affairs had not been ex
aggerated.
As soon as lie saw me he swore a string
of curses at least a yard long, and with
greater iluency than 1 ever heard old Proc
denounce the rebels, aud told me to come
out of that.
As at the time lie presented a navy re
volver at mj’ iiead, 1 thought I had better
get down aud argue the matter with him.
As soon as 1 dismounted lie took tiie
bridle of my horse and told me to stop
right where I was till he could call his
dogs, which he immediately proceeded to
do.
I iiad never expected to be in sucli a
predicament unless Seymour was elected,
but I soon found out that in a disloyal and
rebellious locality like this, a truly loyal
man like myself is never safe.
I knew if the dogs came for me 1 was
gone up the spout, but ttiere was a Imre
possibility that tiie rebellious cuss who
sat there on his horse pointing his six
shooter at me, might miss fire.
I determined to risk it, and made a
break down the road to a gate which hap
pened to be opened
Bang! went the pistol, and the infernal
rebel recited a whole chapter of the gospel
to rebels according to Pearue.
I beard the whistle of the ball as it went
through my liat, aud the running of Bill
Ainworth’s quarter race wasn’t a circum
stance to mine.
Bang! went another barrel, and T heard
the ciasii as my bottle was shattered, and
a quart of loyal whisky was wasting its
fragrance upon the rebellious air.
Z—z—zip ! went a ball through the other
sadd o bag aud demolished my paper col
lars.
Ping! I thought my right ear was burn
ing up. A ball bad gone through it.
By this time l was making tiie best
time on reeord. You might have laughed
to see me, I know, justas.tlieother copper
heads laughed when they saw tho Rev
Dr. Pearne striking up Cumberland street
with Planchette on bis coat tail, but it
was no laughing matter with me. Only
tiie consciousness tiiat if 1 fell, my memo
ry would be revered as that of a martyr to
loyalty, sustained me.
Bang! went the last barrel of the pistol,
this time doing no damage, and tiie infer
nal rebel ceased his pursuit, shouting to
me that he would put the dogs ou my
track.
With this consoling remark he turned
and rode back to his house, aud without
relaxing my speed, I pushed on for a cot
ton field where I saw some loyal Africans
at work {licking.
I rushed up to an aged white haired
African, and threw my arms around his
neck and wept for joy.
Tiie old man was disconcerted at first.
He didn’t seem to recognize me, and
perhaps he didn’t reciprocate tiie warmth
of my feelings.
I don’t know how this may be.
All I know is that he remarked “who’s
data foolin’ with dis nigger?” and the
next thing I knew I was lying on my back
among the cottou stalks.
I got up as gracefully as I could and
said: “My colored friends and fellow
citizens; my name is Ally Gator. Per
haps you may have beard of me as tiie
confideutial friend and advisor of the sa
vior of your race, Governor Brownlow.”
“De Lord hab mercy!” said an enthusi
astic African, “why didn’t you say so be
foali ?”
Without regarding the interruption, I
continued :
“The loyal Legislature has appreciated
your sufferings at the hands of the rebels,
and has passed an act for your deliverance.
Tbe Governor has issued his proclamation
and sent me here to organize you as a
militia to protect yourselves. Loyal men
must rule, and you are authorized to kill
every Ku-klux on sight. The impudence
and audacity of the rebels is terrible. —
The wretched plight in which you see me,
was produced by au attack of a rebel up
on me solely because I was a loyal man. I
therefore call upon you to enroll your
names iu the loyal militia. Organize!
Org Is that a dog I hear ? Save me,
fellow citizens! The Ku-klux are after me
with dogs!”
“Look yer, boss,” said the aged African
whom 1 first met, “you just go down to
de branch dar, aud some of de boys will
tote you up stream a piece. Den you wade
up about a quarter to de Holler, and you
just stay dar till we come to see you. Dis
ain’t no time for foolin’.”
1 followed His Rdviee to the letter, aud I
have been stayibg in that hollow ever
since, and how I have escaped with my
life is a mystery.
The loyal Africans visit me and bring
me hog and hominy, and I try to stir them
up to action, but the attempt is useless.
The spirit is willing but tbe Ilesh is
weak.
If I entreat them to organize a militia
tiie invariable answer is, “Fore God,
Marster, I dursent, De Kuklux !”
Until I get my company organized, it is
not safe for me to show myself.
The Africaus are willing, as I said be
fore, but they are too cowardly. They
have promised me that they will rise up
iu their might as soon as the militia come
here armed, but in the mean time what
can I do ?
They have got the houses all marked to
be burned and the property to be confisca
ted, but they fear to strike the blow.
Tbe Kuklux have badly demoralized
the lovai men in this country.
I long to see tiie mountains of East
Tennessee, the home of a free and loyal
people, wiiere rebels and their copper-head
allies are made to know their place and
dare not speak except as loyal men may
choose to permit.
Old Proc says he prefers to have bis mili
tia raised in East Tennessee.
The old man’s bead is level, aud his
ideas suit me.
I would a good deal rather raise my
company there myself than here.
There is something in the climate here
that is not wholesome to loyal men.
I send this letter by ati Afrivau to mail,
and hope it will come to hand soon.
I have also written an application to
old Proc, signed by the requisite number
of loyal men, to have the militia sent here.
This is purely a disinterested action, as
I don’t intend to stay here longer than
the first dark night.
There is too little regard paid here to
tiie rights of loyal men, aud their title to
horse Mesh is a little too precarious to suit
me.
1 hope to get away soon, but the times
are dark.
Yours gloomily,
Ally Gator.
Scott’s Magazine. —We have this
Monthly for October, It seems, from its
talde of contents, to be conducted with
increasing tact and ability. Asa Georgia
enterprise, that has had fair opportunity
of proving its merits. We are glad to
know that it is receiving a comfortable
share of substantial public appreciation.
GRAND JI'RV PRESENTMENTS FOR TWIGGS
COUNTY.
AVe, the Grand J ury, chosen and sworn for Twigg*
Superior Court, September Term, 1868, beg leave
to make the following
GENERAL PRESENTMENTS.
We are pained to find the amount of petty crime
brought for our consideration, amongst au igno
rant people, thrown suddenly iuto freedom, and
left in our midst. Yet we would look with some
degree of allowance upon their misdeeds, on ac
count of their previous life spent in slavery; their
cobqfreheusion is too contracted to put a just es
timate upon civil liberty, which has cast its sudden
glares around them ; their intellect is too feeble to
put a just estimate upon the responsibilities sud
denly placed upon them ; besides, we believe tiicy
huve received instruction from evil private emis
saries in our midst, whose teachings are ruhmis to
their race, and deleterious to civil law. Neverthe
less, we recommend proper punishment, as the
most eligible means to insure proper reforination.
We recommend the Court of Ordinary tb pay
such insolvent costs to the various officials jf the
county as the law directs.
We regret to iind our public roads in bad condi
tion. This is not for want of proper labor, to put
tiie same in good repair, but negleetentirely on the
part of those in authority, to have the necessary
labor placed thereon. And the road laws we find
are strict enough to force the labor of the same.
We therefore, would urge the Ordinary Court to
strictly and stringently enforce the Road laws, and
punish to tiie extent of its authority, all delin
quenees for neglect of duty.
We iind the Court House and Jail in a most de
plorable condition; the timbers of the former hav
ing been removed from the former site, and par
tially reared upon its present location, unfinished
and insecure for auy available purpose. The Coun
ty Records are not safe from burglars ; neither is
the partial building secure from the influences of
the varied weather which, in a short time, will
cause the partial construction to decay. The most
exposed part* embrace those occupied by the va'
rious couuty officers, not protecting them from In
clement weather during their labors, nor protect
ing their labors at which they are engaged. Also,
we find much of the work which has been done to
be very inferior patch work, uud not such work as
certainly was contracted. Neither has any work
at all been done upon this building during thepresj
cut year, notwithstanding its exposure and come
lv appearance.
The Jail has been torn down for several months,
the timbers lying in Jeffersonville promiscuously
upon tiie ground, and without a (airtitle of shelter.
These timbers being old aud well seasoned, have
already felt the decomposing influences of the
weather, to say nothing of their disposition to be
come warped from the effects of the sun’s heat.
We consider this as a most essential public build
ing, the loss of which we sorely feci when called up
on to pay the cost of keeping prisoners in neigh
boring counties, aud the expense of officers in their
transit.
We urge the Court of Ordiuary to compel tiie
Building Committee to the speedy performance of
their implied, as well as specific contract, in re ad
justing the aforesaid public buildings, under tiie
penalty of sueing their Bond, arid collecting dam
ages for failure to comply with their contract
These buildings were tiie work of our fathers, aud
were, iu more primitive days, the pride of tile coun
ty. Let them again be speedily reared, for they are
both useful and necessary.
We also recommend that a picket wall, made of
stout durable timbers, well set, and not less than
fifteen- feet high, with a strong iron gate, be buiit
around the jail.
When said building shall have been completed,
an entra tax be collected for that purpose; said
tax being equally upon each tax payer.
We deprecate the unlawful assemblages of cer
tain of our citizens, bearing the appearance of mar
tial array, a- well as their holding meetings in secret
conclaves. Such a course of proceeding can be
productive of no good; much inconvenience does
result; much harm may result; and we would
earnestly recommend that, as good citizens, each
employer shall instruct hie colored laborers in their
duties, as relates to their natural, social position,
as well as their civil relation*, tiiat fair dealing and
a fair understanding may exist between the differ
ent races of ourpopoulation, w hose dependence is
mutual, and whose, interest* are common.
We would recommend tiie establishment of a
chain gang for the benefit of snch prisoners as we
now have on hand under sentence of punishment,
and ail similar cases that may occur previous to
the completion of tire jail building.
In taking leave of His Honor C. B. Cole, we
could do no less than to return to him our grati
tude, for tiie ability and seal, with which he has
ever presided over tho Grand Juries of this county:
he has grown gray in administering the laws to our
citizens, while he has triumphantly carried tiie
Law in one hand, and Justice iu the other. .
He expounded the law to our fathers—many of

far gone with the consumption, and desired
to secure a room in a quiet, we 1-kept ho

BULL’S WORM DESTROYER
To my United States and World-wide Readers
I hare received many testimonials from profession a
and medical men, as my ainuoacs and various publi
cations have shown, all of which are genuine. The
following letter fiom a highly educated and popular
physician in Georgia, is certain}? one of the most
sensible enmmumealions 1 have ever received. Dr.
•Clement knows exactly what be speaks of, and his
testimony deserves to be written in letters of gold.
Hear what the Doctor bays of bull’s Worm Destroyer.
VELLA now, Vuui Cos., Ga., June 29, %C.
Dr. John Bull—Dear Sir—l have recently given
vour Worm Destroyer several trials, and find It won
derfully efficacious. It not failed in a single
instance to have the wished for effect. I am doing a
pretty large country practice, and hare daily use for
some article ot the kind. 1 am free to confess that I
know of no remedy recommended by the ablest
authors that is so certain and speedy in its effects. On
the contrary they are uncertain iu the extreme. My
object in writirg you is to find out upon what terms I
can get ihe medicine directly from you. If I can get
it upon easy terms, 1 shall use a great deal of it. 1
am aware that the use of such articUs is contrary to
the teachings and practice of a great majority of the
regular line ot M. D.’s, hut I see no just cause or good
sense in discarding a remedy which we know to be
efficient, srmplv because we may he ignorant of its
combination. For my part I shall make it a rule to
use alf and anv means to alleviate suffering bhid ar.it?
winch I may be able to command; not hesitating
because someone more ingenious than myself may
have learned its effects first, and secured the'sole right
to secuie that knowledge. However, i am by no
means an advocate or supporter of the thousands of
worthless nostrums that flood the count!?, that tr
tort to cure all manner of distase to which human
fresh is hair. Please reply soon, and inform me of
your beat terms. I am, s r, most respectful}?,

H.ILLS A ANT ID I'E'VE PC
The proprietor of this celebrated medicine justly
claims for it a superiority over ail other remedies ever
offered to the public for the sale, certain, speedyand
permanent, cure of Ague and Fever, or Chills and
Fever, whether of short or long standing, lie refers
to the entire Western and Southwestern country to
bear him testimony to the truth of the asuer on, that
in no case whatever will it fail to cure, if the directions
are strictly followed and carri ed out. In a great many
cases a single dose has been sufficient for a core, and
whole families have been cured by a single bottle, with
a perfect restoration of the general health. It is,
however, prudent, and in every case more certain to
cure, if its use is continued in smaller discs for a
week or two after the disease has been checked, more
especially in difficult and long standing cases. Usually
this medicine will not require any aid to keep the
bowels in good order; should the patteut, however,
require a cathartic medicine, aftei having token three
or four doses of the Tonic, a single dose of Bull’s
V ege table Family Pills will be sufficient.
