iT. I. HALL, EDITOR.
TllO MAST ON, G A., DEC. 9,1860.
On this day begins the career of
the Georgia Herald) and with this
issue we make our first appearance as
editors.
It is our purpose, as has already
been announced, to publish a weekly
paper which will be in every particu
lar acceptable to the people.
Politically, we are allied with what
is at present known as the Democrat
ic Party ; and we claim to be purely
Southern. But while we will write
and speak freely of political meas
ures which may claim attention, we
will make no quarrel with those who
differ with us; for it is our purpose to
conduct our paper in a dignified and
becoming manner, with a view to do
good; and shall concede to those who
may at times differ with us the same
honesty of purpose and purity of mo
tive which we claim for ourselves.
In pursuing this course for our
paper, we hope to make it a first
class political weekly.
We are sorry, in this, our begin
ning, to be unable to say that the po
litical condition of our State is en
couraging. Far from it. The recent
news from Washington confirms our
worst anticipations as to the future
of Georgia.
Tbe President in his message indi
cates very clearly what the policy of
Congress will be towards Georgia. —
We will be required, unconditionally,
unless the question can in some way
be compromised, to reseat the negro
members of the Legislature, and
adopt the 15th amendment.
With this state of affairs staring
us in the face, it behooves us, as a
people having the good of our coun
try at heart, to do all we can to pre
vent the utter destruction of our
State government. We don’t pretend
to say what others should do ; but
we do say, if we were left to direct
matters, we should at once advise the
members of the Legislature who fill
the positfons of the expelled negroes,
to resign (*& onee, and allow anew
election. We would advise them not
to hold on a day longer ; for if they
hold on they will either force the
Legislature to declare their former
action void, turn out the sitting mem
bers, and reseat the negroes ; or Con
gress will, by legislation, authorise
the Governor to call together the
original members elect, and exclude
not only those who occupy the places
of the negroes, but also exclude those
who are ineligible under the differ
ent amendments. This course will
put the Legislature completely under
the control of a certain poirical com
bination, the existence of which is
well known, and then the very worst
results may be expected. We think
it best for the members to resign, for
then an election would be bad to fill
the vacant scats —the 15th amend
ment would be adopted, if thought,
advisable ; and in this way, w r e are
informed, and are inclined to believe,
the wrath of the political gods would
be appeased. But if this course does
not satisfy the powers that be, then
let them do the work of reseating
the negroes. Never let the Georgia
Legislature review aud reverse its
own decision on the subject. They
may with propriety declare negroes
who are hereafter elected to seats in
the General Assembly eligible, but
they certainly cannot, with any res
pect ior themselves, declare
who have been ex^q 1 p ° . .
cannot bolieve, with our
present information, (of which we
are not at liberty to speak) that Con
gress will require them to do so, if
the course we have suggested is per..
sued.
In a short article like this, it is im
possible for us to review and discuss
the issues that are likely to be press
ed upon us, but will promise to do 30
in our next.
PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE.
Congress- met on the sth instant.
The President sent in his mes
sage, which is a rather remarka
ble document. After glorifying the
Yankee nation on its greatness, he
lets into the Reconstruction business
after the style in the following para
graph. Grant seems to be in favor
of attending to business ; and his
Radical friends we all know, have
been anxiously awaiting his decision
to let into- us with another dose of
Reconstruction; so we may look out
for breakers. They are doubtless
close at hand. We can either reseat
the irrepressible nigger and adopt a
few more amendments, or go into
the reconstruction mill again. Who
can tell which is best. Os Georgia,
Grant makes the following mention :
The work of restoring State Governments I
loyal to the Union, of protecting and foster- :
ing free labor, providing means for paying I
-toe interest on the publio debt has received '
amplo attention from Congress. Although !
vour efforts have not met with success in j
ail particulars that might have been desir- j
er ; }et on the whole they huvo been more i
successful than csuld have been reason ib’y |
anticipated. Seven States which passed or- ;
(finances ofsecession have hteen fully reetor- 1
€jd to their places in the Union, and the ‘
eighth, Georgia, held an election at which
she ratified her constitution, republican in
form, elected a Governor, members of con
gress, a State Legislature, and other officer*
required. The Gvoruor was leetalled, ar.fi I
the Legis’aaorc met and performed alt acts
then required ©ffefamn by the recoastruchon
acts of congress. Subsr qwently, however,
in violation td tbe constitution which they
had just ratified—as since decided by tbe
Supreme Court of the State they unseated
the colored membefo cl the tegislafcure, and
admitted to swate some members whe are
disqualified by the third clause of the
XlVth A mend meat, a® article which they
themselves had c -ntrlbuted bo rai’.fy
Under these ciroumstanefiß, I woald sub
»it to ymi whether it would not be wise
without delay to auaet a law authorizing
the Governor of Georgia to convene the
members originally elected to the Legisla
ture, requiring each to take the -orth provi
ded by tbe ree< nstrac ion acts, and none to
he admitted who ere ineligible under the
third clausa of the XlVth amendment.
N<wiCß,—After this issue the Übralb
will be published on Saturday.
Fitch, the great whang doodle of
the Griffia Star, wear noth, after the billow
ing style, for hie first born machine We
deeply sympathise with him in his great
bereavement ; bat trust that hie new l*ant-
Hng will soon fill the vacant place in bis
affection, and prove still a greater bles
sing to him thou tbe first. If it dees not,
well then he can eome over occasionally
and slobber and blubber over his old Wash'
iogton II >e to his heart’s content. Bat
hear him :
Good-Byb.—On Thursday lost we bade
farewell to our old Washington Hoe Hand
Press. She has gone to Tbomaston. Her
pi *oe ib vacant, where for four long years
she has served the public and ourselves. —
Our heart is full of grief at the separation,
' hut our necessities required foster work, so
we parted with one of the truest friends we
ever had. The new "machine” stands «p in
a’l its g’ory and pride—stares ns in the face
and scorns the old affair, bat we shall never
love her with that "first love” which bound
us to the hand Press. When dark grim
visaged war had swept away the last vestige
of worldy goads, when barefooted children
terned up their innocent faces for protection
I and support, when desperation goaded the
i heart, when hope was almost shutout ; this
| little pieee of iron came to our relief. Si
lently but faithfully she did her work. She
never got out of order, never conapleined ;
she brought us the greenobacks, put cloth
ing upon the backs and bread into the stom
achs of the little ones ; and to—day when
she is gone, we feel lonesome and almost
hate the gaudy painted creature that has u
•iurped her throne. But though "lost to
! sight” she will ever be to “memory dear.”
And may five hundred lizzards and a mil
lion scorpions crawl into the breeches and
torment the wretch who shall ever dare to
prostitute to base uses our dear old "Wash
ington iioe.”

Washington, Nov. 20.—The Cubans in
tend to be actively at work on the recog
nition question when Congress meets.
They are gettiug up a lot of memorials fur
that purpose, and intend to present a mon
ster one, containing twenty thousand sign
atures, the first week of the session. Eigh
teen thousand of tho names have been al
ready obtained. They have also prepared
documents, etc., to lay before the House
Committee on foreign affairs, to show that
the republic of Cuba is a bonafide govern
ment, with a flag and seal and has in good
faith abolished slavery.
Kaf Virginia and Vermont hare both
ratified the Fifteenth Amendment. There
were only two iu the Virginia Legislature
that were against the ratification ot the 15th
Amendment, a nd one of these was a color
ed Repub’ican Senator, who declined voting
because in his opinion he believed tho
Legislature to be illegal.
Saida male advocate of women’s
rights, ‘‘When I am in a crowded car, and
a lady nomes in, 1 think it the duty of some
other man to get up and give her his seat
I look around tho car to see if any man in
the car looks like making a move in in that
direction, and when I see them all keep
their seats, 1 hide my face behind my newss
paper, and blush for my sex.”
Belle Botd.—lt is known that this res
markable lady is now au inmate of a Cali
fornia insane asylum. She is said to be
raving mad. A Pittsburg paper says of
her career :
Fighting in male- attire, at her father’s
side, in the rebel array, running the block
ade, perverting the faith ol a naval officer,
courted, married, divorced, married again
and separated from her second husband,
actress, lecturer, and social reformer—such
was that widely known female. Belle Boyd.
Her feet and brain had no rest; buffeted
from pillar to post, with no guide nor supo
port but her own instincts and fiery
them passions we cannot admire, but we
must pity this strange soul, aud be astons
ifhed at its wild, romantic career. After
alb when so many storms have been weatho
ered and so mar.y dangers passed through,
the high spirit has succumbed at la*t.
GRAND JURY PRESENTMENTS.
Upson Superior Court —November lerm,
1869. — We, the Grand Jurors chosen and
sworn for the 2d week of the November
Term of Superior Court of Cpsen County,
respectfully submit the following sugges- ;
tione, to wit :
Ist. We have considered Pie susfgestian i
of the establishment of a Peer House in
tbe County for the benefit es Paupers, and
in our judgment it would inure both Vo the
interest of County and the ppupeve. We,
therefore, recommend, tlxit about one (I@@)
hundred acres land be purchased, and that
a suitable number of comfortable cabins be
built thereon as soou as praefieabk).
2d. We suggest that about one
thousand dollars of tho County Bonds that
are struck, but sot signed, be signed by
the proper officers, and put m oiroobvtiohn,
and that all the mafeilLneefi County Bonds
now in circulation, be burnt as first as Ihey
can be redeemed.
3d. We regret that wo sonant n<gree with
the Grand Jury of tbe first week as to ike
improvement in tbo nvarak of our County;
for recent developments vadioate very
clearly to our minds that there are quite
a number of citizens, irrespective of eelur,
wbo show qaitean indisposition to have t-be
criminal laws enforced. We are forced to
this conclusion whoa we see men came into
open court and swear to \ ositive fiwtis, and
in lees than six months thereafter, forget
ar deny having ever mode such statements;
and griev ns as it may be, we tear it is
true that some of those who we have here
tofore regarded as oer best citiaeog, are
conniving at such a state of things.
4ih. We would also recommend to tbe
Legislature of Georgia, tbe importance of
changing tho statutes so as to make larceny
from the bouse and simple larceny, where
property stolen amounts to twenty dollars,
a felony ; and the penalty tor horse “steal
ing shall be a capital offence.
We extend to his Honor Judjje Gruewe,
and Capt. John I. Ilall, Solicitor General
pro. tern., oar thanks fur their patience
and kindness to oar body.

gia. . By the Court.

A true extract from the Minutes.

THE COTTON SUPPLY AND TIIE FU
TURE.
The Industrial and Commercial Gazette,
says : "The world’s *upply of eotton is a
million of bales short of tbe demand, and
for a series of years the increased pioduc>
tion can only keep pace with the annually
increasing supply. • There is, therefore, no
immediate proipect of any material redue*
tion in the price or the great staple.”
These facte assure the future of the cot
ton planter aid the progress and the pros
perity ol the South. We have but to make
wise improvement of them, personally and
socially, to rebuild our shattered fortunes
and reestablish our social and political
condition. We must use not only personal
energy and enterprise but prudence and a
thrifty economy. It matters not what
v\ ealih pruJuu* if we squander it all.—
We shall be no better off at the end of the
year.
Then, too, it is quite as important that
we should use a wise social economy. Ev
erybody can *ee that if he employs tbe cap
ital and labor of others to do that for him
which he can better do for himself, he is
losing and not making money. Just so it
is with communities. If they buy from
abroad and import what cam be more eco
nomically produced at home, they are vio
lating ali sound business principles, and
cannot expect to acqnire wealth.
This is the case with us in respect to a
great many of our supplies of manufactured
articles. We should produce them at home
instead es buying them from abroad. Our
furniiure—a good deal of our clothing—farm
and domestic utensils—our stock—the ma«
nipnlation of our fertilizers—our bagging—
iron ties, and a great many other manufac
tures of iron, wood, wool, cotton, leather,
oko., can be more cheaply produced at home
than imported from abroad, and we can
never progress in wealth as we ought to do
nntil we learn to practice sound economy in
this particular.
The Southern people as a mass, are now
buying these things in Europe and the
North, while they are at the same time
supporting in idleness thousands who would
he’ willing to labor in the production of
these commodities if Southern capitalists
would but give them the opportunity..—
Thus, we may say, we really pay two pri
ces for the same product. A wise sslfishe
ness demands that we should look into this
matter and provide a remedy just so soon
as our pecuniary condition will admit.—
The planter who is accumulating a surplus
should be willing to invest it in manufac
tmring enterprises. If his wagons, ploughs,
hanging, ties, harness, cotton and woollen
goefis, etc., can be made by heftne labor,
mow unemployed, they have really cost the
country little of nothing ; but if paid lor
abroad and imported here, while Georgians
are left to live in idleness, their cost ought
to be reckoned at a hundred per cent,
above market priee. It is time we should
think of these things.—Telegraph &. Mess

What Horses Bring-. —Horses of great
reputation have always commanded great
prices. At Newmarket in 1805 1 , a bay colt,
by Pipato, sold for $75,000. In the same
year a two year old colt by Beningbor
ough, a two year old by Volunteer, and a
three year old filly by Sir Peter, were sold
tor $75,000 each. For the celebrated horse
&hark, $50,000 were refused, and O’Kelly
declined to accept an offer of SIOO,OOO for
his stallion Eclipse. Tradition says that
the Duke of Devonshire refused for Flying
Childers the weight of the horse in gold,
A few years ago, the great sire Stock well
could not be bought for SIOO,OOO, and we
presume that when CTladiateur was carry*
ing everything before him on the English
turf, the Count de La Grange would not
have parted with him for $150,000. Com
ing to America, we find that nearly $15,-
000 were paid for Lexington, and that his
son, Kentucky, was sold for $40,000. Mr.
Alexander refused $50,000 for Asteroid,
Kentucky’s half brother, aDd Norfolk,
another half brother, was valued at $40,•
000. Mr. Bonner paid $35-,000 for Dexter,
and offers SIOO,OOO for ooe that can equal
Dexter’s wagon time. —Turf, Field & Farm.
\VHOLBSOM£NEt*S OF WORK.
Tbwte* fourths of the diseases peculiar
te wtmen, whether married or single, may
fee traeed to want of proper and regular
mental aecupatfbn. The empty life led by
mast women who boast themselves to belong
t# the beeter class of society is noly thus
the dullest of all existence, hut the most
dangerous, The mind, for want of proper
direction which the regular performance of
some sscial duty alone can give, either
turns in uDon itself, and is terkured by its
own presence, or taking some devious way,
is lost ioroyer. Hysteria, insanity, and
the various disorders, the symptoms of
whiah are vague and uncertain, but the
ctnseQuences sure and fatal, owe their orU
gin in most oases to the c«»mni«n practice
of bringing up our young ladies, as they
delight "to a all themselves, to do nothing,—
The remedy ffer this prevalent female India
base is not to be found among any of these
htifeadaeuad apologies for work devised by
fashion. Crsshot or worsted work will do
nothing toward invigorating or reviving
body or soul. A. thorough change in the
views of parents is required. They must
afcandoa the idea that their female children
unlike their male ones, are to he brought
up to do nothing. They skould impress their
daughters as their seas at an early period
with the xeoessifcy of having a certain .vo
eofeioi in life, and edaoate them according
ly. If Tom has a passion lor hardware,
and is to bo gratified, we earn eao see no
reason why Mary, with a fondness for dry
goods, should not have the chance of beiag
mdalged. That there should be no mistake
as to oar opinion on so grave a subject we
hero deliberately advise all parents to bring
■ p thair daoghters to some occupation or
other, whether it be one of trade, eon*
merce, the professions, art, soieoce or lit
eratore. Whatever it may he it will eero
toinly not render the woman less fit fer any
future maternal er household doty, haws
ever great or absorbing it may prove. The
tone of mind acquired by a systematic dis
cipline for a fixed purpose is oondmMve to
the proper performance of all work. Os
this we are at least assured —that there
would be fewer delicate, suffering women,
if they eoold he persuaded to believe with
ns ia tho “wholesomoness of work. v
A SXIySIBUC CHK.JL.
Some years since, a young lady, remark
able for her maturity and good sense, daugh
ter of a distinguished lawyer, and a moms
her of Congress from Worcester county,
was placed at a young ladies’ boarding
school in the neighborhoo lof Boston. Her
unaffected manner and sptightliaess won
the affections of the young ladies and their
kind offices, until one day they inquired
the occupations of their fathers. Our young
friend, perceiving the drift of their inquir
ies, gave them to understand that her fa
ther was a shoemaker, when many of them
were struch with horror at her vulgar orb
gin, and a change took place in their con
duct towards her. She, however, though
fully understanding them, remained quiet.
After awhile, the father of the young
lady visited the school. As he was a goel
looking man, and us they observed the
principal and others treating him with such
deference and respect, the scholars were
led to inquire of their instructress who he
was and what was bis business : and on
being told that he was the father of Miss
11.. and that he was a member of Congress,
they were filled with amazement, and im
mediately made attempt to renew their ah
tentions as formerly but it was too late. —
She looked upon their conduct with such
contempt that they were obliged to keep a
respectable distance, while those who trea
ted her kindly, without regard to her fas
tfeer’s supposed occupation, were ever af
tex wards Lior favorites.
A TWO-HUNDRED MILE RACE.
A novel race occurred over Bay
view Park Course, San Francisco, on
the 31 of October. It was a contest
of endurance in the saddle between
two young men, named Neil Mo wry
and William Walsh. The stake was
SI,OOO a side and a gold medal. The
distance to be run was two hundred
miles. Each man was allowed twen*
ty horses, with no reserve. The con
test began about nine o’clock, a. m.,'
and was finished in less than nine
hours. Up to the one hundred and
tenth mile the chances favored Walsh,
and the score stood : Walsh, 110 ;
Mowry, 107 1-2. After that, sever*
al of Walsh’s horses shied and broke,
and the severe exercise of mounting
and dismounting, with sufficient rap~
idity began to tell upon him, and
Mowry gained until the one hundred
and twentieth mile, when the score
stood even, and he completed his two
hundred miles in eight hours fifty
eight minutes. His rival accomplish
ed the same number of miles in nine
hours fifteen seconds. The horses
were of varied stock. Sporting men
regarded the race, under all the cin
cumstances, as the greatest ever run
on this continent.
