WOOD’S RESTORATIVE.—Ot ail the restor
atives for the hair that have been invented. Wood’s
pre-eminently claims the first place. It will cer
tainly restores the natural color of the hair, if the
directions are followed for a sufficient length of
time. It also has produced astonishing effects in
bringing out a growth of hair, where the head had
been previously bald. Wood does not pretend that
it will do this in ail cases; and we think his candor
is a recommendation of the virtues which his Res
torative really possess. If the roots of the hair
are destroyed, no human power can make them
grow again; but when there is any vitality left in
the root, the restorative will soon renew the hair
in all its pres tine vigor. It has done this respeat-
edly when all other remedies had failed. It is
therefore worth while in all cases to make the ex
periment. It has no rival—[West n Pat.

Cents: I have looked into the hog market, and
my opinion is,a man would not be sate in buying
hogs at more than three cents gross. Our farm
ers’ views are considerable above that price.
There has been offered here from four and a half to
five cents gross, for hogs weighing from two hun
dred and fifty pounds, and some sales made at the
above figure. M y opinion is a man had better hold
off and see how things go. I think there will be
more bacon put up by the producers this season
than ever before.
Shelbyville, Tenn., Nov. 5 1857.
Gentlemen: As you requested. I promise to keep
you posted in regard to the movement of our pork
"market. This is to inform you that there was a
sale of fifteen hundred hogs this week at five cents
nett or four cents gross, on sixty days time. The
hogs are to drive to Aberdeeu. Miss. The offering
price in Nashville is four and a half cents As
yet, the farmers are not disposed to take that price,
though I think they will do so soon. From Mor
gan ton. East Tennessee, there will be considerably
more bacon put up in this section this year, than
was last year.

The impurity of the blood, as well as an excess of

US’" We cail tile attentitfii of ail those inter
ested in Land Speculation, to the advertisement
of Col. dcGraffenried. He has just completed a
Book, containing very important information to all
persons who are buying and selling lands. This
work has been got up with great labor and expense,
and makes a hook of about 150 pages, bound in
good style; and as but a small edition lias been

in lauds, to procure a copy at once.
l-'iiNe Strporl.
A report, we understand, is current in Worth
county, that Col. Win. A. Harris, the Senator from
that county, is dead. The rumor no doubt bad its
origin in the death of Mr. Davis, the Senator
from Early county.
We saw our friend Harris at his post yesterday,
and he positively denies that he is dead, but in
good health, and hopes to serve his constituents for
some time longer.
Western A. Allehlic IEnil Rond.
We publish to-day, in accordance with the re
quirements of law, the Reports of the Superin
tendent and Treasurer of the State Road, for the
year ending Sept. 5 1 th, 1857. These Reports con
stitute a most important document, and the mem
bers of the Legislature should read them with
much care. The State Road will elicit considera
ble discussion before the present Legislature, and
it behooves the representatives of the interests of
the people, to make a thorough investigation of the
whole subject, before concluding to sell it, or any
part of it. All the charges of corruption, started
by the opposition, have been refuted, and the mem
bers of the present Legislature, representing the
“American Party,” are the first to oppose any ex
amination into the late charges made against of
ficials on the Road.
The Public Printing.
We copy from the Columbus Daily Sun, an arti
cle on tlie State Printing, which is so fuil of good
sense, aud so truthful that it will be read with pro
fit by all.
The Comptroller General’s Report, which was
complained of by the Savannah News’ correspon
dent, was not printed at the Federal Union office.
The Sun says, we did the work for the State in‘a
hundred days after the adjournment of the Legis
lature. We did it in ninety days after the adjourn
ment, and printed as fast as the copy was put into
our hands.
Of course we cannot endorse the Sun’s fling at
our town. It is not out. of the way, to any body
willing to ride on a Rail Road to get to it.
Stale Printer.
The election for State Printer took place on Mon
day, 16th. The Proprietors of this paper were
elected. Grateful for the renewed evidence of the
confidence -of the Legislature, we should do vio.
lence to our feelings in withholding the expression
of thanks to those of our friends, who had the
kindness to sustain us on that occasion.
(Survey of Okefeuolicc Nwaiu p.
We published, a weak or two ago, the Report of
Mr. R. L. Hunter, Civil Engineer, oil the Survey
of the Okefenokee Swamp, under the appoint
ment of Gov, Johnson, and in pursuance of an act
of the last Legislature. This was the first regular
and systematic effort ever made to explore this
terra incognita. It was a hazardous undertaking,
aud without any reliable data to found an intelli
gent opinion of the character of the Swamp, in its
most inaccessible parts, it may be pronounced a
most successful one. The Report of Mr. Hunter,
which has already been spread before our readers,
bears evidence of the faithful discharge of the of
fice assigned him. The information derived from
this survey, will he worth many thousands of dol
lars to the State, at a future day. Tlie Governor
was not authorised to compensate Mr. Hunter for
the discharge of the duty confided to him. But in
his late Message, he recommends that he be paid
three thousand live hundred dollars for his services,
in addition to $479 49 which he has already re
ceived. This sum will not be considered too large,
when the character of tlie enterprise, the time
and labor spent upon it, and the dangers and obsta
cles encountered are remembered, and the amount
compared with the compensation usually paid by
Rail Road Companies for Engineering services.
A Sub-TivaHiirj" for Cicor^ia.
The general suspension of nearly ail the banks
ir. the United States, has demonstrated to the peo
ple, that it will not be safe for States to trust their
funds to their control. The propriety of a State
Sub-Treasury is now being agitated by the press
in many parts of the Union. Arkansas is, we be
lieve, the only State that has already adopted the
plan of collecting and disbursing atl of her funds
in coin. We see no reason why Georgia should
not have a sub-treasury of her own. When the
banks shall resume the payment of their notes, it.
would be convenient and safe to have all the taxes
collected, and all payments made by the State, in
gold and silver. This would protect the State
from all loss and inconvenience arising from the
suspension or breaking of banks, and retain in
circulation a large quantity of gold and silver coin.
This, with the gradual and final withdrawal of all
hank notes, under the denomination of five dollars,
from circulation, would soon bring into use a.suffi
cient amount of gold and silver for the ordinary
demands of traffic. The present state of the coun
try would perhaps render the immediate resort to
these measures unwise; hut may not the present
Legislature make provisions for their adoption in
the future? The spirit of inquiry on these impor
tant subjects is already being aroused all over the
country. We subjoin two short articles, one taken
from the Columbus Sun of the 19th inst., and the
other from the Albany Patriot of the same date,
both of which go to prove that the discussion has
already commenced.
A STATE SUB-TREASUKY.
The New York papers are seriously discussing
the feasibility and wisdom of establishing a State
Sub-Treasury. Many weighty arguments are urged
in its favor. " At the time the banks suspended there
were about three millions dollars State funds on
deposit in the different banks ot the State, which
they cannot or will not pay. This has produced so
strong a feeling against them that it is supposed
the scheme of an independent treasury wili he fa
vorably entertained by the New York Legislature.
The idea is a good one, and we hope that N. York
will set an example, the practical workings of
which we doubt not will induce other States to
follow it.
TIIF. CURRENCY.
The constitutional currency is gold or silver coin;
the legislative currency is Bank hills in violation
of the spirit, if not. the letter of the Constitution.
It is not a violation of the Constitution for indi
viduals or associations to issue their notes in any
form, and containing anv conditions they may
desire—thev may write them or print them—make
them payable in specie or coon skins—and others
may take them or not at their option—hut Legis
latures have violated the constitutional rights of
their constituents, by making these acts penal;
they have violated the "Constitution by giving
credit to paper currency which has banished gold
and silver from general circulation, and by thus
giving credit to rotten as well as sound Banks;
they have been the means of incalculable pecu
niary loss to the people. The State Governments
liv their example, and by their legislative action,
have been the cause of all the past and present
financial difficulties. The simple and the only
remedy is to retrace their steps—let them in future
deal iri the constitutional currency; let them repeal
all laws which violate or make penal, agreements
for the hire, purchase, or sale of money, leaving it
like other commodities to be bought or sold at its
market value; let them repeal all laws restricting
individual or associated credit, leaving freemen
free in this as in any other honest business transac
tion, and then let them gradually wind up the
present evil system of hanking.
Trade in money and credit, is governed by the
same laws which govern all other trade or inter
course between men—it is never perfectly regu
lated except when free. We recognize this law of
free-trade in all reputable business, except the
trade in money and credits, and these are the only
two things .which are not properly and perfectly
regulated. The remedy is simple—repeal all
restrictive laws aud let the subjects alone.
Banks rt. The People ef OmMijia.
When the Banks were chartered by the repre
sentatives of the people, many very important
privileges were granted to them, upon the express
condition that they should furnish the people with
a paper currency, which should at all times be
equal to gold and silver. That the people might
have full confidence in these bank notes, and take
them as an equivalent to gold and silver, it was
expressly provided in the act of incorporation of
the banks, that whenever it should be proved, that
any of their notes had been presented for payment,
and they had refused to redeem them with gold and
silver, or its equivalent, that they should forfeit
their charters, and the Governor should take the
proper steps to wind up the affairs of such hank.
There was, then, a contract between the bauks
and the people of Georgia, that these bank notes
should at all times and at any time, when the hold
er desired it, be redeemed iu gold and silver coin.
The people took their notes on this express condi
tion: and now, we ask, has any Legislature the
right to step iu between the banks and the people,
and annul a contract made by a former Legisla
ture, and declare that the people shall hold these
bank notes a year without interest, before the
banks shall be required to redeem them ! Is not
this invalidating a legal contract, and is it not
most effectually destroying all confidence between
the people and the. banks ? What would a good
note against an individual, due twelve months from
date, and without interest, sell for at this time ?
Could any man realize more than seveutv-five
cents on the dollar, for the best of notes, on such
conditions? If the banks, then, are allowed a
w hole year in which to redeem their notes, with
out interest, will not their notes depreciate, in a
proportionate degree, with those of individuals?
We should think they would, in a still greater de
gree ; for if the Legislature at tliis session gives
one year to resume payment, what assurance will
the people have that, at the next session, they will
not give them another year ? We are not the ene
mies of the banks, and we do not want them
crushed, but we want them put upon such condi
tions as shall induce them to resume payment of
their notes as soon as they are able. Those indi
viduals who owe the banks have to pay them in
terest. Why, then, should not the banks be re
quired to pay interest on their notes, until they are
willing to redeem them. But a short time before
the meeting of the Legislature, the banks made
their report to the Governor, and all professed to
be able to pay all their liabilities. If they are able
to pay, they should be made willling to pay, by
charging them interest on their notes, as they
charge individuals. It is not good policy for the
friends of the banks to ask for such unreasonable
conditions, as to lose the confidence of the people.
In a contest between the banks aud the people,
the banks will ultimately have to submit. The
real wealth of the country does not depend upon
the banks. They may be able to give a nominal
and fictitious value to property, but the substantial
and real wealth of a country depends upon the
productive industry of the country, and not on
bank notes. Bank notes are not money; they are
only promises to pay, and when the promissor is
unable or unwilling to redeem them, they lose
their value.
The Uorrmar’s .TIr**agr.
The valedictory of Gov. Johnson will bo found
in our paper to-day. It will be read with far more
interest than satisfaction. It is full of important
suggestions and recommendations, as were its pre
decessors, but presents a mournful barrenness of
salutary results to the State, for the four eventful
years of his administration. The public may won
der that one who secs so clearly tlie material and
intellectual necessities of the people, should have
done so little to meet them; especially with such
ample resources at his command, and backed by a
dominant party, whose manifold excellences he is
ever eager to extol. The late Governor commits'
his administration to the verdict of impartial his
tory. This was right; for history, like charity, is
wont to throw her mantle over objects offensive to
tlie public eye and public memory. The jury is
supposed to lean to mercy. The people of Geor
gia will doubtless be glad to forget, that the an
nals of her proud State, have been marred by an
administration so thoroughly partizan and so wan
tonly proscriptive, as the one, which, fortunately
no doubt for the State, has at last takeu refuge in
history. In pure mercy to our cherished Common
wealth, let the future historian of Georgia omit the
Johnson epoch.
Among those jnrnals which have pursued Gov.
Johnson with most rancor, the Journal fg Messen
ger, of Macon, deserves to be placed first. The
above extract from the issue of that paper of the
11 th inst., is a sample of the Messenger's courtesy
to a retiring Executive. And yet, if the Messenger
was called upon to cite any particular act of Gov_
Johnson’s administration, that merited the severe
criticism that is here passed upon it as a whole, we
doubt if even that paper could adduce one such is
olated act. We do not, by these remarks, wish to
be considered as volunteering to defend Governor
Johnson’s administration front the wholesale abuse
of tlie Journal & Messenger—it needs no defence.
It stands upon its merits, and will be judged here
after upon those merits. But, as Georgians, proud
of our great Commonwealth, and jealous of her
honor, we interpose to meet this flying arrow of the
enemy, for her sake, not to protect the character
of her distinguished son, for that is not less far
above the reach of the enemy’s bow, than it is
impervious to the poisoned arrows that seek it.
Georgia may well he proud of her iate Governor.
The impress of his great intellect is indellibly
marked upon the Legislation of the State; and he
has given to her a reputation abroad, among the
greatest of her sister States, of which every Geor
gian ought to be proud, no matter what his politics
or personal prejudices may he. He has temporari
ly retired from the public gaze. But such talents,
such statesmanship as he can boast, will not long
be permitted to rust in an inglorious ease. The
people will hunt them out, aud open up a field for
their honorable and useful operation.
The Legislature.
The Bank question engaged much of the at-
tion of the House, during the past week. Three
days were devoted to it, but without reaching any
definite action. A great main’new bills were in
troduced on Friday, and but few that will occupy
the attention of the General Assembly more than
an hour or two. It is the wish of most of the
members, to adjourn by the 22d of December, and
return the first Wednesday in November, 1858.
From present appearances, we think this will he
done, as there is little or no doubt the Annual
Session bill will become a Law. The subjects of
Common School Education, Taxes, Western &
Atlantic Rail-road and others of equal importance
have not ns yet been brought fairly before the
Legislature.
The Resolutions adopted at the late Democratic
Meeting at the Capitol were offered in the Senate
by Hon. John A. Tucker. Mr. Thomas of Gwin
nett also offered a series of Resolutions touching
Federal politic*. No action we believe was taken
upon either.
A Book ot" I.rgnl Fonua.
A memorial 1ms been presented to the Legisla
ture, asking the State’s subscription to aid in the
publication of a second edition of a Book of Le
gal Forms, for common use, by Ordinaries, Sher
iffs, Justices of the Peace, &c. Tlie first edition
was published in 1853, having been compiled by
John B. Hines, Esq., with much care and labor.
The Petitioner, R. K. Hines, Esq., is a young law
yer of high character and qualifications, and, un
der his supervision, the work has been increased
from 180 to 400 pages. The first edition has been
very highly spoken of by legal gentlemen, and
we doubt not that the second edition, with the
additions and improvements, by Rich’d K. Hines,
Esq., will, when published, do a most acceptable
service to the public. The priueipal claim on
which this work bases its merits, is its plainness
and accuracy, enabling county officers to perform
the duties required of them by law, readily and
accurately. We hope the Legislature will give
Mr. Hines the aid he asks at its hands.
The Weather.
On Thursday last, there was a sudden change in
the weather, from balmy sunshine to “first it blew,
then it snew, then it friz.’’ Thursday night was
one of the coldest we have ever experienced in
Georgia. We had not a thermometer to tell how
low the mercury fell.
Friday and Saturday were also very raw and
cold days. No hogs in the market, or we should
be dreaming of sausages, spare ribs, and back
bones.
Prof. Whitney’* C’tactrl.
Prof. Whitney will give the last of hie concerts
for the season, at Newell’s Hall, on Wednesday
the 2d day of December next. He has engaged the
finest vocal and instrumental talent in the State,
for this occasion, and we hope the Concert will be
liberally patronized, as much expense will be in
curred in getting it up. For further notice, see
■mall bills.
The C*Ttrs«rta Reception.
Last Friday night Governor and Mrs. Brown
had their first reception at the Executive Mansion.
Notwithstanding the night was excessively cold,
a large and brilliant company assembled and
seemed to enjoy themselves very much. Eve
ry thing went off pleasantly: it seemed to be
the predominant wish of the Governor and his
Lady to make every one about them happy and
we think they succeeded. We understand that
the Governor and Mrs. Brown will be at home
every Friday nigiit during the Session for the re
ception of company.

[COMMUNICATED. ]
The (barges of Mismanagement of tbe State
Road.
The Resolution heretofore offered in the House
of Representatives, proposing to appoint Commit
tees to investigate the charges of fraud, misman
agement and wastage on the Western & Atlantic
Rail Road, came np for trial on Friday last.
Mr. Hardeman, of Bibb, said he could see no
uso of appointing sni-ha committee. Similar ones
had heretofore paid a visit to the Road, and he
never knew of any benefit that arose from it. lie
was opposed to such a committee, if they were to
g.> upon the expanse of the State, and that he
would amend the Resolution by allowing them to
go upon their own expenses.
Mr. Diamond, of DeKalh, remarked that he had
been willing that such a committee should be ap
pointed, not because he thought it necessary, for
he was of tin- opinion that the W. & A. R R. had
been properly and fairly managed, that it had been
aud wasdoiugas well and and under as good discip
line as a Road could possibly be.
But there had been serious wicked and slander
ous charges made against the officers of the Road,
by the opposition, iu almost every political speech
they made in the last canvass, and from those in
high position : he had always believed them false
hoods, and had no right yet to change his opinion
—that if the opposition haicome to the same con
clusion tbe subject might and ought to rest where
it was, and the Resolution withdrawn or voted
down: that a similar one had originated on the
American side of the House two years ago when
they were so clamorous about investigation, that
this had come from the Democratic members, and
that so far as he knew, the whole party thought
the Road in the hands of proper officers and under
judicious rule. That for the causes as set forth in
the resolutions, namely, that the truth of these
charges might be proved or disproved, and the
people who had been imposed upon, as he thought
they had, might be brought fully to comprehend
it, that he could see no oilier good a committee
could do, and was perfectly willing, as the oppo
sition now professed to be, not to force the inves
tigation.
