AUGUSTA, GtA..-. Tuesday Morning, September 21,1875. CURRENT TOPICS. The Cuban Rebellion—lt Will be a Success. It is patent that the Spaniard is obliged to depart from Cuba. The war which has been going on there for seven or eight years instead of weakening has strength ened the Insurgents. They now muster a real disciplined, arrred and equipped army of 10,000 men, are masters of all the interior of the Island and are gradually encroach ing upon the territory yet held by the enemy. It seems to be their policy to wear out the Spaniard. Each batch of fresh troops sent out from the old country are either killed in ambush, open combat or fall vic tims to the climate. They win nothing. They seldom gain even a temporary ad vantage. Spain has from time to time sent out her ablest Captains and Generals, who, upon arriving at Havana, invariably issue a bombastic pronuneiamento giving the rebels a short time to come for ward lay down their arms and re ceive the guillotine. To which not the slightest attention is paid, unless it is a bold dash into the Spaniards and the striking down of an exposed post or marching column. Spain has not had a war with any of her Western colonies in the last one or two hundred years without losing. The Spaniard is a weak, imbecile, ignorant fanatical fellow. He would have been in harmony with the world live hundred years ago, but the world has precious little use for him now. He neither imports nor has anything of any account for sale. He never wrote but one book—“ Don Quixote” —which traveled over his border. In his study we find out how depraved a man can get, but look in vain for anything noble, generous, or in the least worthy of a civi lized man’s imitation. He is too bigoted to even adopt the useful inventions of other nations, but go there to-day and you will find everything—ideas, literature; govern ment, religion and implements—Spanish. 1 here is not the slightest inducement to an outsider to live among such a people. Unless her colonies are content to live in habits of five hundred years ago. they must get up a revolution and throw off the in tolerable yoke of the mother country. And this mother country has no inducements to offer them worthy of acceptance. Cuba is a glorious island: It has the richest of soils and a splendid climate. Un der any other people on this green earth it would have been a paradise by this time. The very first duty of the Democratic Pres ident which we wiil elect next year will be the full and free recognition of Cuban In dependence, and the permission to private individuals to help them in every possible way consistent with existing treaties. A reinforcement of seven or eight thousand men under Gen. Fokrest would soon rout the Spaniards from the island, se.tie the whole difficulty, and end in either a protec torate or annexation. “ Cannot be Carried by Beating of Gongs." The New York Herald says: “The Maine election, following the Democratic victory iu California, is disheartening to the Re publicans. Its effect will be felt in Ohio, Pennsylvania and this State. The people are tired of cries and appeals to their fear of the Demoratie party. The elections this fall can not be carried by the beat ing of gongs. That begins to be very plain.” Which means that the Haunting of bloody shirts has played out. The people of this country are now demanding bread and meat, not as the Communists of Paris do without an equivalent, but a revival of trade, work, employment by which they can earn a livelihood. They are sick unto death with the cry of negro protection, ‘V ivil Eights,” “rebels,” “yankees,” “trai tors," “glorious principles of the Constitu tion,” ‘ free press,” “civil and religious lib erty.” A bushel of which would not pass in the market house for a beefsteak for their hungry families. They see as plainly as daylight that nobody is making a decent living except office holders, Federal, State, County Ihid Municipal, and the bondhold ers who must have their interest paid in gold whilst the laboring man is paid off in paper, when he has any labor to do, which is not often. Farners, manufacturers, mer chants, and mechanics are either working at a dead loss or barely paying expenses. And yet we are told wo must continue the party In power which brought all this on the country—keep them in office—keep up their plans—cling to their ideas! Grant and his Congress, Butler and the rest, must be put back. They have not done with re venges upon the South. A few more darkey rights are yet unsecured, a few more old rebel chiefs need special legislation, need to be looked after. “The Report of That Maine Gun.” The Boston Traveller, of Saturday, re viewing the prospects of the Maine election of Monday, remarked: Even now, t'.iough anew generation has come upon the stage, there is a vigorous contest going on, and while all are aware of what the result will be, the interest felt in that result is great; and the returns will be read, three days hence, with lively feelings in all parts of the nation. The men who live on the banks of the Sacramento and the Oregon will peruse with gleefulness or glumness, ac cording to their political views, accounts of what was done on the banks of the Kenne bec and Penobscot. “That’s the first gun in the next Presidential election!” they’ll say, and, by St. Jonathan! what a loud Republican report it makes! Just like Maine, though—just what every one ex pected ! No change there! We heard that report—just did. It was the faintest sound we have heard lately. There was just enough powder to roll the ball out, and that ball fell at the muzzle. It did no execution. The gunners are in great doubt whether It is worth while to attempt to shoot it again. Letter from Henry Clay. Henry Clay seems to have had an in stinctive knowledge of the danger of mak ing agricultural speeches at Fairs, and he was never Winnebagoed. The fol lowing letter, written by him in 1835, has come into possession of the Evening Bulle tin, of Montgomery, Ala.: Ashland, Aug. 19.1835. My Dear Sir: I received your favor of the 14th inst. I have had a strong inclina tion to be present at your Fair in October, and intended to go if I could; but you alarm me about a speech. I really cannot consent to make any, much as I am flatter ed and honored by the request of the man agers. 1 think I have made speeches enough during my life, if I never make another, which I am strongly inclined never to do. If you will let me come over among you and be at my ease, like any other farmer, 1 think it possible I will come. But if lamto be exhibited, scrutin ized and commented upon, like the other beasts of the show, I protest solemnly I wi and not budge a foot, but remain quietly at home. J I am your friend and obedient servant, John Green, Esq. U. Clay. \ almaseda finds it a very difficult matter to raise tht $1,000,000 from Spanish subjects in Cuba, for the purpose of paying for the ti ansportation and sustenance of the new troops he expects from Spain. He has turned the screws on everybody who has uu> monej in Havana, and now has made anew levy of 25 per cent, of every man’s fortune, under a penalty of exile and se questration. Many hitherto warm sup porters of the Madrid government have become disaffected at the tyranny of the Captain General, and have declared them selves in favor of insular independence. A number of these gentlemen have been im prisoned. The end draws near. LETTER FROM ATHENS. Resumption of School Duties—Lively Scenes—The Educational Institutions of Athens—Prof. Leroy Broun—Bus iness Revival. [Correspondence of the Constitutionalist,] Athens, Ga., September 15th, 1875. Our city has emerged to a certain extent from her chrysalis condition of the Summer and begins once more to wear the garb of activity. This is the time of year when the reckless little renegades, having made things lively in their families and households for the past two months, by their perfect freedom and unrestrained gayety, sorrowfully search on dusty shelves for those terrible school books, and with heavy hearts prepare for the great campaign of the coming session. Yes, all over our State the work is commencing and the season for the germination of the young idea is at hand. Especially is this noticea ble in Athens, where good schools ex ist In abundance, and our streets are en livened with many little faces as they come and go. Perhaps, though, in the language of the inimitable Mrs. Mc- Stinger, “we say it as shouldn’t,” Athens surpasses all other places in Georgia in an educational point of view. Her climate is excellent, society highly re fined, and her schools have been her pride and boast as long as she has existed. And the people of Georgia are beginning to find it out, too, for the marked increase of boarders at the Lucy Cobb Institute and the Home School proves this unalterably. “Why will Southern people ignore Southern colleges and patronize Northern insti tutions” is a question which we will not here repeat, for, like that centennial orator who lustily inquired as to the whereabouts of the heroes of ’76, we can expect no immediate answer. And again, this class of people who “go back” on home seminaries is sensibly diminishing. Y\ e are especially glad to see that Augusta is so well represented at our schools, there being eight or ten young ladies from your city who are now with us. The University of Geor gia opens on the 6th proximo. The rumor that Hr. William Leroy Broun, President of the State Agri cultural College, and Proffessor of natural philosophy and astronomy in the University, has resigned, has proven but too true. He has accepted a chair in the Vanderbilt University. This is a great loss not only to the University, but to the State at large. Hr. Broun has been here about eight years and has labored untiringly for the interests of the College. He is a thorough business man, eminently practical and has a good deal of “go a-headitiveness” about him which is so essential to the educational depart ment of Georgia. He is well known throughout our entire State and is identified not only with the education al but also the agricultural interests of our people. Personally Hr. Brown is short in statue, rather stout, movements quick and nervous, and carries upon his shoulders a two story head with mass ive overhanging forehead, uuder which are set two clear, blue eyes, which, to use the language of one of the stu dents, “go right through you. Asa disciplinarian he is excellent, and is as well up iu his profession as any man probably iu the United States. His statements are clear and succinct, his manner forcible and his reasoning solid and convincing. Though a strong ad herent of fact and very exact iu every thing, yet when aroused or worried up, his imagination is as lively and as fer tile as we ever marked in any one. Had Hr. Brown been properly treated by the Trustees or had he sufficient in ducements, in all probability he would remaiu in Georgia, but such not being the case, we are not at all surprised at the steps he has taken. Intellect will go where it is most valued and appre ciated, and in the Halls of Learning as in the mechanic’s workshop, the “La borer is worthy of his hire.” Mind that the University of Georgia does not lose more of her great men. Athens in point of trade is look ing up. Cotton is beginning to come in and a fresh impetus is impart ed to business. There are a good many improvements being made in the way of buildings &c. Hr. Carlton, of the Athens Georgian, will shortly com mence his daily paper. There is neces sarily some risk attendant upon this uew undertaking, but as Athens is growing in wealth and importance the prospects are that she will be able am ply to sustain a daily. The Augusta papers are now a credit to their city, surpassing, in our opinion, those of any other city in Georgia. They are very popular here and justly so. The failure of John J. Cohen & Sons created considerable surprise among our business men. The firm was looked upon as a very safe and strong one, and nobody dreamed of their sus pension; but it seems that these days everything is uncertain and there is no telling who will go next. The Augusta Convocation of the Protestant Episcopal Church was opened last night by an excellent sermon from Rev. W. P. Kramer, of Augusta. Revs. Mr. Weed and Clark are also in attendance. The Northeastern Railroad, which has been heretofore an imaginary line, starting from Athens and running somewhere up in North Georgia, is in a fair way to be completed, we hear. Work will be immediately resumed, and as the grading is finished, all that now remains is to lay the iron. We are confident that if the directors will go energetically to work with a view of building it immediately they can do so. PICCIOIiA. Hold Your Head Up Like a Man. If tho stormy winds should rustle, While you tread the world’s highway, Still against them bravely tussle, Hope and labor day by day; Falter not, no matter whether There is sunshine, storm or calm, And in every kind of weather, Hold your head up like a man. If a brother should deceive you, And snould act a traitor’s part, Never let his treason grieve you. Jog along with lightsome heart; Fortune seldom follows fawning, Boldness is the better plan, Hoping for a better dawning, Hold your head up like a man. Earth, though e’er so rich and mellow. Yields not for the worthless drone. But the bold and honest fellow, He can shift and stand alone; Spurn the knave of every nation, Always do the best you can, And no matter what your station, Hold your head up like a man. —[lrish World. Bismarck wrote to his wife in July, 1851: “The day before yesterday I went to Wies baden, and looked with a mixture of sad uess and premature wisdom at the scenes of my former follies. If only it would please God to fill up with clear strong wine the vessel in which at twenty-one the mud dy champagne of youth frothed up to so little purpose l * * * How many of those with whom I flirted and drank and gam bled are now under ground! What changes my views of life have undergone in the fourteen years that have elapsed since that time, each in its turn seeming to me the correct one; how much that I then thought great now appears small; how much now seems honorable which I then despised!” There is a hat in Jeffry, N. H., 225 years old. Where do all the huckster carts come from ? 50,000 elephants are killed yearly for their tusks. TAKE SIMMONS' LIVER REGULATOR For all diseases of the Liver. Stomach and Spleen. MALARIOUS FEVERS, BOWEL COMPLAINTS, DYSPEPSIA, MENTAL DEPRESSION, RESTLESSNESS, JAUN DICE, NAUSEA. SICK HEADACHE, CON STIPATION, COLIC and BILIOUSNESS. It is eminently a Family Medicine, and by being kept ready for immediate resort, will save many an hour of suf fering, and many a dollar in time, and doctors’ bills. After Forty Years’ trial, it is still re ceiving the most unqualified testimo nials of its virtues, from persons of the highest character and responsibility. Eminent physicians commend It as the most EFFECTUAL SPECIFIC for Constipation, Headache, Pain in the shoulders, Dizziness, Sour Stomach, Bad Taste in the Mouth, Bilious Attacks, Palpi tation of the Heart, Pain iu the Region of the Kidneys, Despondency, Gloom, and Forebodings of Evil, aIJ of which are the offspring of a diseased Liver. The Liver, the largest organ in the body, is generally the seat of the dis ease, and if not Regulated iu time, great suffering, wretchedness, and DEA TH will ensue. IF you feel Dull, Drowsy, Debili tated, have freq l Headache, Mouth Tastes badl. oor appetite and Tongue Coated, you are suffering from Torpid Liver or ‘ Biliousness,” and nothing will cure you so speedily and permanently. “I have never seen or tried such a simple, efficacious, satisfactory and pleasant rem edy in my life.”—H. JJainer, St. Louis, Mo. Hon. Alex. H. Stephens. “I occasionally use, when my condition requires it, Dr. Simmons’ Liver Regulator, with good effect.”—Plon. Alex. H. Ste phens. Governor of Alabama. “Your Regulator has been in use in my family for some time, and I am persuaded it is a valuable addition to the medical science.”—Gov. J. Gill Shorter, Alabama. “I have used the Regulator in my family for the past seventeen years. I can safely recommend it to the world as the best medicine I have ever used for that class of diseases it purports to cure.”—H. F. Thig pen. President of City Bank. “Simmons’ Liver Regulator has proved a good and efficacious medicine.”—C. A. Nut ting. Druggists. “We have been acquainted with Dr. Sim mons’ Liver Medicine for more than twen ty years, and know it to be the best Liver Regulator offered to the public.”—M. R. Lyon and H. L.

The staple is not injured by over beating, and it leaves the picker without being curled or knitted; the seeding and cleaning is very complete. Ovor forty per cent, in labor in this department is saved over the old system. One of the greatest con siderations with this arrangement is its securty against fire. , . _ , Yours, &c., M. F.
