COMIC !
We are very sure that the newspapers
of this State cannot better advance their
own interests, and at the same time-and ;
what is of equal moment—materially con
tribute to the prosperity of the people at
large, than by vigorously pressing ui>o»
public attention outside our own limits,
the great advantages Georgia offers to im
migrants. There will be, and there should
he, u lull in politics, for a season, and the
occasion could not be more seasonably im
proved than by such a policy. I.et the
subject be fully discussed by all our cetera
poraries from seaboard to mountain. The
theme is an inexhaustible one. Columns j
might be filled every day in the year, and
still much remain unsaid. Earth, air and
water prompt and plead for a prolixity in
singing their praises, that could be par
doned to no other theme. We cannot say
too much for Georgia as a home for those
who may wish to better their condition as
tillers of the soil, as miners, as machinists,
and manufacturers. We want nolawyeis
or doctors. We have plenty, and to spare
of the “learned Iprofessions.” We want
capital of money, of brain, of thews and
sinews, and lastly, but most im|>ortaut of
all, of an honest determination to make
Georgia what the God of Nature designed
her to be. As we have said before, we
care not what politics these new comers
may have, if, only, they settle here with
the purpose of staying and making their
adopted State the abode of peace and
thrift—of good morals, of law and order.
The most rabid Radical with this purpose
avowed in iiis utterances, aud demonstra
ted by his zeal and energy in carrying it
forward, shall have as hearty a welcome
as the most pronounced Democrat. If lie
comes here to stay, and to make a home
for his family, and not for the purpose of
running for office, his politics will not
trouble us long. He will soon assimilate
himself with tlie mass of his neighbors,
and though not professing conversion to
Democracy, will be none the less a friend
to Georgia as Democrats are, aud an enemy
with them to negro domination and all its
evils. We are not afraid of risking the ex
periment any way.
To the plundered and oppressed people
of Boutli Carolina and Florida, Georgia
offers pecu iar and pressing inducements.
They are and will always be in a hopeless
minority. The meanest and vilest of the
carpet bag and scalawag horde who infest
the South, seem to have settled among
them. They have gained a foothold which
years may fail to destroy. Their victims
have no hope iu the present, aud very
little in the future. Georgia, just across
these two Ktate lines, beckons to them
with a smiling face, and welcoming arms.
She lias freed herself from the curse under
which they sink, aud though she caunot
lift it from their necks, can and does offer
them a home and an asylum. She says
come with all the emphasis of her 40,000
majority for White Supremacy, for Daw
and Order, for the Constitution, and fora
lasting, enduring Peace. She tells them
that Jier people shall be their people, her
God their God, aud her destiny their des
tiny, She offers them a homogeuity in
blood, faith, ami tradition, iu morals,
manners, customs, and language, in mem
ories, sorrows, resolves and hopes. We
are brothers of the same household, reared
under the same roof tree, and pledged,
from the cradle, to eternal amity. Why
should any South Carolinian or Floridian
slay and lie ruled by a vile coalition of
brutal negroes and mean whites, when he
can gather up his goods and chatLles, his
wife and little ones, and in twenty-four
hours rest where he will be of the govern
ing class, and where lie shall feel that lie
retains some remnants of his birth
right . We do not a <-« how any man who
can get away, will reconcile tumseir u>
stayiug in those States. Georgia is the
place for them. Inclination, policy, self
interest, all point this way. Let them
come. We will do all aud more than all
tiiat we have promised. By llieir good
help we shall make old Georgia young
again in a prosperity, richer by far, than
any she lias ever yet enjoyed. We shall
sa.ootho every wrinkle from her war
seamed front, heal all her wounds, restore
her wasted vitality, and start her upon a
career of glory and greatness hitherto un
dreamed of.
Sweet Potatoes.—We have sonic fine speci
mens of Sweet Potatoes, raised near this city, and
presented to us by a colored man named Alfred
Wilburn. They are different from any we have
seen —being in compact clusters of from twelve to
seventeen. They are raised from draws or vines,
ami the cluster is produced by forming the bottom
of the slip planted into a double circle of about two
Indies, winding the end several times round tiie
first circle. From this tiie potatoes form in close
clusters.
Alfred lias purchased a piece of land, and, we
trust, has done a much better business on it than
many of his race have in wasting their time about
polities and parades of Loyal Leagues. By liis
industry, we predict tiiat, in a year or two, he will
have liis “forty acres of land and a mule,” and per
haps two, anil all others could have tiie same by
imitating his example.

It is strange to see with what carelessness some
invalids attend so their health. They will procure
a box of Plantation Buters, which onglit to be
it is found tiiat they have used only two or three
bottles. Some days they have used it according to
the directions, and others have not touched it. The
whole trial lias been irregular, and of course a less
favorable result has come from their use. If it be
true that “what is worth doing at all is wortli do

relating to the health. A few bottles of Planta

iu other instances disease lias only been subdued

THE GREAT MEDICAL MISTAKE
Os former days was an utter neglect of sauitary
precautions. No efficient means were adopted
for tiie prevention of siebuess. Sewerage was
unknown in cities; drainage was rarely attempt
ed In the country. Heaps of offal were left to rot
iu Hie public streets, and domestic cleanliness,
the great antidote to febrile diseases, was sadly
neglected. It is not so now. Wise laws, philan
thropic institutions, and a vigilant sanitary po
lice, have, to a great extent, remedied tiie evil.
Nor is tills all. Preventive medication lias
helped materially tolessen the rales of mortality
It s not too much to say that tens of thousands
escape sickness iu unhealthy seasons in conse
quence of having invigorated their systems in
advance by a course of HOHTFITTKR S STOM
ACH BITTERS. This pure anil powerful vege
table tonic and alterative comprises the extracts
and essences of a variety of roots and herbs re
nowned for their strengthening, soothing, vital

nal agents are incorporated with a spirit
absolutely free from the aerid poison which
denies, more or less, all the liquors of commerce,
aud their effect is diffused through the whole
frame by this active, yet harmless stimulant.
The result Is such a condition of the system as
renders It all but impevious to the exterior
causes of disease, such as damp, fog, sudden al

the pel feet regularity ol all the functions of the
body, are the best safe-guards against atmos

water, and HOST FITTER’S BUTFIRS are the best
strengthening and regulating medicine at pres

are a specific absolute.

the negro counties. The returns indicate that the
result is doubtful.
Augusta, Nov. 7. —Additional returns continue
to increase the Democratic majority. From present
indications it will reach 40,000.
Savannah, Nov. 7.—There lias been no distur
bance to day. All is quiet.
Washington, Nov. B.—Gen. Graut has arrived
No demonstration made here. Colfax arrives to
morrow.
Congress meets to adjourn on the loth.
W ashington, Nov. 9. —Gen. - Grant is attending
to lus routine of duty. He has many visitors, but
don’t seem to encourage conversation regarding
his future actions.
At Belleviilere, Ohio, Grant addressed a Republi
can procession, saying: “Gentlemen, I see many
of you iu uniforms; you laid them off three years
ago, and you can now lay them oft' again and we
will have peace. Good night.”
Montgomery, Nov. 9.—The Legislature is en
gaged in local business. Gov. Smith sent in a mes
sage to-day, relating to appropriation in aid of
cleaning out aud making navigable the rivers lead
ing into the coal and iron regions of the State.
The returns from thirty counties give Graut
10,(XX) majority. The remaining counties (thirty
two), with the exception of four, will all probably
give Seymour majorities. The State is still classed
as doubtful. Hundreds of white men did not vote
because they did not have an opportunity of regis
tering, while many others would not take the
voters’ oath.
Tallahassee, Nov. 9.—Nothing of importance
lias transpired since the report of Saturday in the
matter of the impeachment or suit against Lieut.
Gov. Gleason anil Secretary Alden, and no indica
tions of a disturbance of the public peace.
About half the arms thrown from the ears have
been recovered in good order, aud are now in pos
session of the United States troops.
Charleston, Nov. 9. —The Daily Xrm.i lias near

Democratic gain of 33,500 since the election for tiie
Constitution in April last.
I'rmu Florida—liiqicat-limciK of Governor Reed.
Tallahassee, Nov. 7.—About nine o’clock last
night citizens, to tiie number of one hundred or
more were summoned by the city and county
authorities to hold, themselves in readiness to aid
iu quelling any riot. At eleven o’clock there were
no indications of trouble, and the posse was dis
charged. The cause of the call were tiie conflict
ing orders from Governor Reed anil Lieut. Gov.
Gleason, and fears were entertained that tiie col
ored people would be called to support tiie action
of the Legislature. Citizens were uneasy to-day
blit will not interfere except to aid in preserving
the peace, when prompt assistance will be rendered.
Rumors are on the street to-day that the planta
tion negroes have been notified to come in to
night, but it maybe doubted. One company of
the 7th regiment is posted here, about thirty
strong.
The Legislature adjourned this morning till Jan
uary. No quorum present. When impeachment
passed several members held seats and voted where
seats had been declared vacant by the proclama
tion of the Governor by reason of members ac
cepting and occupying other offices. Gov. Reed
refuses to recoguize tiie action of tiie body aud de
clares it illegal.
Lieut. Gov. Gleason this morning demanded
possession of the Executive Department and was
refused by Gov. lieed, who has brought suit against
Gleason and Alilen, Secretary of State, by the Cir
cuit Judge, for conspiring against the Government
aud they are now under arrest This case will be
sent up t,o the Supreme Court. The general inr
pressiou seems to be tiiat Reed is in the right.
The ease of Governor Reed, against Lieutenant
Governor Gleason aud Secretary Aldin, before
Judge Coke this afternoon, was postponed till F'ri
day next.
The following proclamation lias been issued:
Executive Chamber, Tallahassee, F'la., November
6, 1868. —Whereas, The General Assembly of Elor
ida, as a duty, organized iu extraordinary session,
held by virtue of a proclamation issued by tiie Gov
ernor of Florida, on tiie 3d day of November, 1868,

whereas, under the provisions of the Constitution
of the State of F'lorida, tiie said Harrison Reed,
Governor of Florida, is debarred from exercising
the functions of the Executive office of the State,
aud the administration thereof devolves upon tiie

parts; and I hereby call upon all citizens of the
State to support tiie government, obey the laws of
the State, and observe peace and quiet.

To the Sheriff o f Leon County, State o f Florida :
Sir : I am under the Constitution and laws of
the State the rightful Governor thereof, and shall
continue to exercise tiie power and authority, and
discharge all the duties belonging to tiie office of
the Executive Department, until the judicial tril u
nals of the State shall determine otherwise. To
the determination of tiie judiciary, 1 will, like any
other good citizen, yield peaceful aud immediate
observance. Harrison Reed, Governor.
The following are the articles of impeachment:
I. He has been guilty of falsehood while trans
acting business with members of the Legislature,
and other officers of the State.
11. I charge herewith iueompeteney, inasmuch as
he has filled commissions to officers in blanks, and
other irresponsible persons having issued them.
111. He has issued a proclamation declaring many
seats in the Legislature vacant before the members
duly elected and returned bad resigned, or their le
gal term of service had expired.
IV. He has been guilty of embezzlement, haxing
taken from the State Treasury securities and money,
and sold such securities, and then failed to return a
portion or all of the proceeds of the sale to the
Treasury-
V. lie has been guilty of corruption and bribery,
he having bartered and sold prominent offices in
the State to sundry persons for money to him in
hand paid, and in the nomination of such persons
to the Senate for confirmation.
For and in consideration of these and many other
crimes and misdemeanors, which have come to my
knowledge, I ask at the bands of the General As
sembly the impeachment, for high crimes and mis
demeanors, of Harrison Reed, Governor of Florida.

OBITUARY.
“Leaves have their time to fall.
Anil flowers to wither at the Norlliwind’sbreath,
The stars to set; but all—
Thou hast all seasons for thine own, oil! Death. ’
F’ell asleep in Jesus, October 2d, after a severe
illness of a few weeks, Miss JULIA E. ARTOPE.
In childhood she became the lollower of the
meek and lowly Saviour, and connected hereself
with the Episcopal Church. That she was a de
voted member is made evident from the great
loss that the Church su> taintd liy her death. It
would lie needless to enumerate her many vir
tues, for one so universally known. To know
her was to love l.er, to name her was to praise-
Tiie night she left us we felt it was a griel be
yond all others. The dirge-like winds without
seemed in sympathy with our own troubled
hearts. And when she closed her eyes, resigning
herself to the Saviour she had loved so well aud
served so faithfully, could we then have seen
within tiie pearly gate that shut its glories from
us, we would have seen our darling take the
crown that Christ had laid up for her. She had
“fought the good light, hail finished her course,”
anil went to her reward. No wonuer that in
death she wore that angelic smile, for she was
with the “shining ones,” eejuyiDg those plea
sures at God’s right hand lorever more. But liow
wo urieve at tills severe a til ictirau ! We
sllil clasp the broken idol .ooai neans; we visa
the sacred spot that contains the mouldering
casket; we strew it with flowers, and bedew
them with tears; we recall to mind that voice of
sweetness that so often encouraged the weak,
and who-e gentle tones gave comfort to the sor
rowful. Her sweet influence is with us still.
Long, long will it be felt by those who knew her
here. Dear parents and family of my belovtd
friend, your grief is deep, heart-rending ; but
there is wisdom in all God’s works. Grieve not
as those who have no hope. She is not dead, but
sleepetb ; “not lost, but gone before.” Let us en
deavor to imitate her good example, that we may
meet her in Heaven—it was her last requestor us.
What a home she enjoys! Every eye kindles,
every heart throbs, every tongue is praising,
every flugei strikes a harpstring, and our darling
joins in the stiains. “Unto him that loved us,
and washed us in His blood, be the praise and
dominion lorever.” Then rest, our darling, in
your dreamless beauty, until the resurrection
morn, when Christ shall come to make up his
jewels; theu you will arise among the first to
put ou immortality, and wiR be one of those
precious gems in the crown of the Infinite Sov
ereign, whose besqity, never failing, and their
lustre like that ol the stars, shining forever aud
ever.
We would not, could not, wish thee back
To join us here below;
F'or thou hast reaped the rich reward
Os a soul prepared to go. L. E. N.
Died, in Albany, on the 27th uIL, of a conges
tive chill, Mrs. Caroline A. Smith, wife of the
Hon. Win. F. Smith, and daughter ot Reuben
Williams, F>q. t ol liougherty county. She was
well known here in her girlhood, to many, as a
student in onr F’emale College, where she gradu
ated wilh great credit. The cherished recollec
tions of that day with her then young associates
will be awakened and saddened to hear of her
early demise. With a young and nteresting fam
ily, with all happy surroundings of life abont her,
aud blight hopes and prospects of the future,
her home was one where generosity and hospi
tality were treely dispensed, and over which she
presided with care and gentleness, mingled with
motherly dignity. A most excellent lady has
gone to a better world, and no one, that knew
her, but will bestow a blessing on her memory.

Cotton.—The market opened quiet on Tuesday,
on the basis of 33 cents for New York Middlings.
On Wednesday, it declined a half cent, and another
half cent on Thursday. On Friday and Saturday
the market was quiet at 22 eeuts, and the market
opened at these figures to-day, and some sales of
New York Middlings were made at 22 cents. The
afternoon dispatches were not considered favora
ble, and the market closed weak and unsettled.
Under the circumstances, we think it best to omit
quotations. Sales of the week 1,96S bales.
