THURSDAY MORNING, DEC. A. 1H77.
Bishop Marvin.
The Methodist E. Church, Scuth, has
suffered a heavy loss in the lust few
months from the death, of Rev. l)r
Munscy, Rev. Dr. Duncan, and now the
death of one of her episcopate, Mishap
Marvin. This sad event, which lias cast
a (doom of sorrow over all the land, oe
curred at his rcsiilenoo in St. Louis, Mo.,
on the 20th ultimo, from pleuro pneu
monia. Ho was born in Warren county,
Missouri, June 12th, 182.'!; entered the
ministry in 1841, and elected to the Epis
copacy in 1806.
Bishop Marvin stood in the front rank
of American preachers, and highly hon
ored the high office which he wus called
to fill, by the magnetism of his person
al character, his exalted purity of life,
the wisdom of his official administration,
and the evangolicai character of his pul
pit labors, which so signally blessed the
Church and his generation.
Resides all these things, his recent tour
round the world, touching at neatly all
the important points, at the request of
tho proper Church auihorities, in the
interest of the great Missionary enter
prise, in which Christians of all denomi
nations aro deeply concerned, has been
the occasion .if his giving to the Church
of Cod (jverywhere, one of the richest
legacies ever bequeathed to it since apos
tolic times. His letters written of what
lie saw and learned during hi* voyage,
and published seriatim in the Church
papers, and now in hook form, will im
mortalize his name and memory in all
future qcclcsiastiii.il history. May the
Great Hend of the Church sanctify this
dispensation of His providence to the
good of his family and the benefit of' the
world
The Great Ploou in Virginia and
North Carolina.
No freshet of modern times lias been
more disastrous than the recent one,
extending from Maryland into North
Carolina, causing an unprecedented rise
in the Potunao, Rappsnock, James,
Dan ami Roanoke rivers. The damage
to railroads, farms, bridges, etc., is in
calculable. The crops of corn on many
bottom's had not been gath
,sP,i in many places it is a total loss.
fences, haystacks and
lumper were swept away by the angry
tide. Sonic of the streams were higher,
by several feet, than they were ever
known before. Tho James river .and
Kanawha canal, which .was so ruined in
tho‘#eshct of 1870, is seriously damaged,
and will require thousands lor its repair.
All fho lines of railway in Virginia are
more Or lefts damaged, und some have not
yet bceh put in running order.' Fortu
nately the loss of life lips not hoc ll as
great as it Was in tho great freslietof
1,870; hut as yet we have not seen a com
plete,list of casualties.
, “Footprints of Time.’’
Recently two agents have been through
this County soliciting subscribers to a
book bearing the above title, and fYonl
their exhibits a goodly number of our
citizens have agreed to t ake it. Wo have
never seen tho book in toto, and lienee
not prepared, to render any special judg
ment of.its merits, and fitness to circu
late iti Southern society.
But* waiter in the Rome Trihunt of
t' c 28th ult., signing himself “('onfed
erate,” profossing to speak from the
record, passes some very sever; strictures
upon tfioVbi/akv which, if true—and we
are not prepared to contradict them —
should call- forth an unreserved and un
qualified condemnation hy every n an in
the Southern country. For it places a
libel upon our section, and attempts to
lay scandal at our doors to be perpet
uated to eouiing generations.
For instance, to show the author’s
truthfulness and fairness, he states that
Foster Rlodget was United States Sen
ator, when he never was admitted to his
seat, while Pr. H. V. M. Miller was a
Senator, and admitted to his seat, is not
noticed at all; pogc 450.
On page 471, it says: “April 12, 18t>4.
General Forrest takes Fort Pillow and
massacres the garrison, many being ne
groes" This infamous libel upon the
brave and magnanimous Forre-t is thus
aought to lie i*erpctuated and placed as a
stigma not only upon his name, but upon
the whole .Southern people.
On page 010 this morsel is meted out
to us: "Feb. 17, 1805, Columbia. B,C ,
.accidentally burned, on its evacuation by
Southern troops;“ when it is a well c
-credited fact that the city was burned in
tentionally by tho inl'uuious General Sher
man.
The author also seeks to perpetuate
the oft-repeated slander that "May 10,
1803, Jeff, Davis captured in Georgia, in
woman's clothes.” Rage 678.
Then on pago 080 he sajs: "On the
whole, the conduct of the Northern peo
ple was extreme,!)/ magnanimous.” If
the author intended to set lorlh t! e fuct
that tho diabolical hate, malignity, and
every invention of tyrrany and oppres
sion which Northern ingenuity could in
vent to steal from and grind to powder
the overrun Southern people by a horde
of vandals, then was tutignanimily shown.
Mut from all such extreme magnanimity
good Lord deliver us.
Then on page 080, the took says:
“June 4, 1805, Toombs, of Georgia,
prominent in the Jearly days of secession,
shot himself to avoid arrest.” Is the
author an ignoramus, or totally depraved,
that impels him with a blind infatuation
to downright lying, or has ho set out with
malice aforethought to libel and stigma
tize tho Southern people?
Our advice to qur readers, who have
subscribed for the book, is to examine
the pages to which we have referred, as
well a* others, and if it is found a.-, above
represented, to scout it Irom their homes.
Let no such libels be read by your chi!

Wreck of tho Huron.
The United States man of-war, Huron,
left Hampton Roads (in the 23d of No
vember for a protracted cruise among tho
West India Islands, with 134 officers and
men on board. Kncounterirg the fierce
storm which was raging that night, and
in fact, was in full blast when the vessel
set sail, in passing the treacherous coust
of Aortto Carolina, her machinery becaii e
disarranged and the vessel unmanageable,
and was finally wrecked bA|cen one and
two o’clock, A. M., the 2ra. The ac
counts of the sad disaster are appalling,
and has cunitil mourning into many u
household. In the list of tlie lost, we
find tint most of the States of the Union
were represented, and many of the differ
ent nationalities of Europe. ('apt Ryan,
the commander, was drowned. Some
blame is attached to him for venturing
to hug tlie shore so closely, and the Navy
Department has ordered a rigid investi
gation in order to ascertain who was to
blame. It is reported that Copt. Ryan
obeyed orders under protest, ;.s a 1 the
signals indicated a continuation of foul
weather. It is heart sickening to think
of the largo numb'r who went on board
the ill-fated vessel with buoyant spirits,
and were so soon consigned to a watery
grave. Mut such is life-7"man proposes
but Uod disposes" el our earthly plans.
Think and Act- Dcn’t Wait.
For the life of us we cannot see why
Chattooga ucunty, having a self existing
life in herself, cannot rise to the point of
an independence second to none in the
State. She has the power of resources
10 constitute a little world within herself,
if she would. Vegetables o*' nearly every
kind, fruits, cereal grains—yea, every
thing produced l y the soil; hogs, cattle,
sheep, horses, etc., may be produced and
raised here as well as anywhere.
Here we have some of the best cites
for factories of all kinds; iron ore and
coal for a thousand and ouo generations,
and yet all are lying idle for the want of
energy to induce capital to come among
us and develop the resources. Or would
it not ho best tor the citizens alteady
hero, to combine their small and indi
vidual capitals, and thus make our county
wlmt it. deserves to he—one among the
first in the State? Why so much selfish
ness among people, to think they can do
better alone than by forming combina
tions for developments? Let us hen
.from you.
An exchange says: “A Providence
young lady read three hundred novels
last year, and then went crazy. Such a
warning from Providence should not he
lost upon those of our young people who
keep tho road hot between their homes
and the Public Library ’’
Parents should be very careful how
they place iu the hands of their children
yellow back literature, so ealh and. If they
do not go “crazy” over it, such leading
has a tendency to corrupt their morals,
and will most assuredly do so. Let the
divine injunction, “take heed what you
read,” he firmly impressed on the mind
of every one.
Riches do not a I way bring happiness.
How delusive thep are. No doubt every
one would think the Vanderbilt family,
with a hundred millions of dollars, would
be iu a state of perfect lelieity. But
they are not. A scandalous light is now
going ou in a New York court, to break
the Commodore's will, in which family
matters are being rattled before the pub
lic in such a manner as to bring disgrace
upon his name, aud prove disreputable
to the family.

Excelsior.
The Georgia delegation in the halls of
National legislation have gained, and aro
still gaining, imperishable honors to the
Empire State, and for themselves. The
Hon. John M. Gordon, is a debater and
efficient worker, stands tl.e peer of any
man. Hon. W. H. Felton has recently
immortalized and made himself a national
reputation. And now, added to his hith
erto well acquired and deserved honors,
the Hon. M. 11. Hill hag won additional
honors to his name and State, hy his bold
and fearless support, in his maiden speech
in the Senate, in suppi rt of Senator
Thurman's resolution to discharge the
Committee on Privileges and Elections,
from further consideration of the Mutlcr-
Corbin contested case from South Caro
lina. This speech is spoken of in the
very highest terms, as dignified, forcible,
logical—us being ti.o most effective, and
arousing the Senate from its hitherto
listlessncss, than any heretofore made.
Tho praises of tiie-e gentlemen are in all
tho States, and far over tho
waves. Georgia should feel proud of this
trio of Statesmen.
Rev. Alexander Webster, of Edinburg,
says "it would be much better to dance
than to engage in Presbytery quarrels.”
This kind of teaching is what produces
so much sin in the world. If the rev
erend gentleman had remembered the
teaching of The Book, that the law of
God is a unit, so that he, “whosoever
shall keep the whole law, and yet offend
in one point, he is guilty of all,” l.e
would not thus have discriminated in the
sinfulness. There are no little sins in
the sight of God.
At our time of going to press the full
election returns have not come in, and
hence we cannot give the final results.
Rut this we can say, we are glad the elec
tion is ovor, and trust it may he a long
while ere another ono rolls round. Some
of the candidates —the successful ones —
are glad; the defeated ones are sorry, and
are not profited for their pains, time in
electioneering, and expenses incurred.
Hut these lessons may be learned: How
much intrigue, chicanery and double-deal
ing may effect, and how popular one is
before the people.
It is worthy of record that “the vic
tory of the Democrats in the Senate on
Wednesday, the 21st uit., when the mo
tion of Senator Thurman, of Ohio, for
the Senate to go into executive session,
was carried by a vote of 30 to 29, in spite
of Litter Radical opposition, was the first
gained in that body by the Democracy in
sixteen years. Indeed it was the tirst
time the Democrats have inrried the
Sonata sinee Vice President John C.
Breckonridge made a similar announce
ment of the result of a vote in going into
executive session toward the close of his
term on March 3d. 1871.
The country should be gratified that at
last we have a satisfactory description of
the Gettysburg fight. This General
Longstreet has given us according to the
opinion of Gen. Joseph E Johnson, who
says it is the only satisfactory one that
has ever appeared. It is said General
Longstreet has received approving letters
from officers of high rank in hath the
Northern and Southern armies of his
efforts in this direction.
Rut few people have any idea of the
vast amount of spirituous liquors con
sumed until they are made aware of the
fact that the whole outlay of ilie United
Kingdom lor intoxicating drinks in 1878
was estimated at $700,(XX),000; that of
the United States for the same year was
Stated by Mr. I’. T. Bar-urn. in a tem
perance address delivered in txindon some
time ago, to have been $600,0 0.000.
The amount so expended in this country
is increasing from year to year at an enor
mous rate—at a far grea or rate than the
population.
Rut John Bull draws a very handsome
revenue from this source. The income
of Great Britain for 1876 was about
$4(0,000,000, ana of this amount $170,-
000,000 cauie from customs duties on
wine and spirits, and excise duties ou
spirits, malt, and liccenses. In 1862 the
customs duties on imported wine and
spirits amounted to $18,750,000; for the
year ending 3Jst March last they were
$37,500,000. Excise duties on spirits,
malt, and license in 1862 came to SBS,
000,000; for tho year ending the 31st
March last they were over $132,000,000,
which is fearful to behold. Yet, for all
this, people will complain of the high
prices of provisions. No wonder they
are high, when it takes such enormous
amounts of breadstuff's to make that
which "at last biteth like a serpeut, and
stingetb like an adder.”
The Rome Tribune sa h, "Mr. M. A.
Wimpee, of Floyd county, will be sixty
years old the 20th ot June next. He
has been married twice, had 10 children
hy his first wile, II boys and 5 girls, and
7 boys and 7 girls by his last wife—.,o in
all —the oldest being 42 years old, and
the youngest at the breast. He lost seven
sons in tlie late war. Mr. Wimpee is a
hard working man, a good citizen, and is
doll.g a good pait by all his children. All
are loved and respected by those who
know them. The old gentleman is a
stout and able-bodied man, in good health,
and is as hard as a light wood knot, and
bids (air to live many years longer."
If Mr. Wimpee has been as laithfu in
the performance of all his other duties
as in the great first law to man, there
will be no danger in regard to his future
destiny.
An exchange says:—“Two ‘doctors’ in
Vermont have been ordered to leave the
State, under the provisions ot anew law
which prohibits the practice of medicine,
survery, or midwifery bv any person
without a license from tlie board of cen
sors of a regularly chartered medical
society, unless he shall already have been
in the practice of the profession there lor
tlie term of five years,”
A -imilar law should lie passed in Geor
gia. and every other State in the Union.
Quack doctors and midwives, who don't
know A from Z, are altogether too com
mon in our country, and do more harm
than good. Some law should be enacted
to save tho people from their impositions,
•*•*. •
Another of Georgia’s old and respected
citizens has died. Col. A. W. Ham
mond, of Atlanta, breathed bis last on
Sunday the 25th ult. He was nearly 70
years of age. The Atlanta Constitution
says:
"lie was noted fur his courteous hospi
pitality, hi rigid integrity, oil his quiet
delicious humor, lie lived to the full
extent of human years, and went to his
grave as the ripened leaf drifts adown
the autumn breeze- His memory will be
cherished and his example emulated
throughout Georgia. "
Texas.
Asa faithful sentinel upon the watch
tower, wo give the warning to people
entertaining notions of moving to Texas,
thin .ing thereby to improve their con
dition. The Texas Dnllax lferalJ speak
ing of that country, gives forth the in
uncertain sound when it says: 1 Ihe un
varnished truth is that our labor market
is already stocked to oveiflowing, and
every fresh arriving tru’ii but adds to the
misetable multitude in our midst that
suffers, starves and finally tights its way
back Fast again. Before the door of
nearly every house in this city there
daily begs a swarut that would sadden
the heart of a Satyr."
People here, then had better far con
tent themselves, improve their lands by
dilligent and persevering energy, by
which they would be lar better remuner
ated tlinii by running the risk of emi
grating to Texas or any other country.
At Tapi-S. —The following timely sug
gest!,ms should be rigidly observed by
every family:
“Never talk of disagreeable things at
your table, but let the conversation be
kind, genial, social and cheering . The
more good company you have at your
table, the better for yourehildrcn. Kvery
conversation with company at your table
is an educator of the tamily. Hence the
intelligence and the refinement, and the
appropriate behaviir of a family which
is given to hospitality. Never feel that
intelligent visitors can be anything but a
blessing to you and yours. How lew
have fully gotten hold of the facts that
company ami conversation are no small
part of education.
Meuui and tuum makes a great differ
ence with some people. Recently a negro
was denied admission to the medical lec
tures at Bellvuu Hospital, up North; and
more recently negro babies were excluded
from the great baby show in New York-
Had this occurred in the South a great
cry would have gone up from Republi
cans in the North against the rebellious
South. But their ox does the gorin r
this time, hence the difference, and they
are mum.
The United States Senate has seated
Kellogg as Senator from Louisiana over
Judge Spofford, who was elected to that
position by the Nicholls’ legislature of
the State. There s- erns to be nothing
too low in the depth of depravity for
these same Republicans to do, especially
in their death struggle for existence.
\Ye are glad to hear it. Our druggist

One Cent a Day.
Economy is the order of the hour, and
every expenditure, however small, is ex
pected to give a return in full value.
Every family requires one good, reliable
family newspaper. If such an article
can be procured for h:ss than one oeut for
each working day of the year, we are not
aware of it A Family Newspaper
should contain a carefully-prepared sum
mary of all the news of the day, both
Religious and Secular; and if arranged
so that the two departments may ba sep
arated and read by two individuals at the
same time, so much tlie better. The
Family Newspaper shi uld have attrac
tive reading and information fur iho vari
ous members of a household, b orne por
tion of the paper should be JevoteJ,
every week, to religious and moral im
provement, to current secular news, to
agriculture, oommetoc, lu-irkuL-, finance,
to general literature, &c., with a special
department for the young. Above ail, ;
the Family Newspaper should lie perfect-
ly pure, and free from any contaminating
iiifiiienees it, its reading matter or its ad
vertisements. Too much attention can
not be paid to this feature, when the
press is flooding tho country with so much
that is vile and pernicious. To crown
all, the Family Newspaper should be un
trammelled by any affiliation with sect or
party, and should be free to give ail the
good news from and about all the woil-J.
If such a Family Newspaper can be ha 1
for one cent a day, it should be taken by
every family in the land.
Such a Family New-paper, in every
respect, we find in the Xetc York Observer

Matrimonial Geography.
We don’t know that there is any use
repeating it, for almost ever,) body under
stands Matrimonial Geography, whether
they do any other geography or not.
The following, however, may lie put down
as tolerably correct, from a comic fellow
down the river. He says:
‘‘The State of Matrimony is one of the
f nited States, that is bounded by hug
ging and kissing on one side, and babies
on the oilier. Its chief products arc
population, bn ouistieks and staying out
iate at niirlits. It was discovered by
Adam m J Eve, in trying to find a north

pretty accurate in Matrimonial Geog
raphy.
Should Milledgeville be the successful
candidate in the race fir the Capitol, here
is what is going to be done. Says the
Otd ('ajiital:
"If Milledgeville wins, the citizens of

to be let into the solid masonry of the
new court house, one inscribed with the
names of the counties giving her a ma
jority, the other w ith the names of those
newspapers who have so gallantly stood
