<% Georgia S) craft, J. I. HALL A JTIL ALLXA\HEK, EDITORS. TIIOMASTON, GA., FEB 12, ’7<L CONGRESS ANI) GEORGIA. AVe are led to infer from the tenor of late Washington dispatches that Congress is still considering the Geor gia question. The Republican par ty is represented in Washington by two wings, one favoring anew elec tion of Lnited States Senators while the other party are urging Congress not to disturb the election of the pres ent Senators, Hill and Miller. The late news seems to indicate very clear ly, that there will be no election for Senators until the term for which Hill and Miller were elected shall ex pire. For our awn part we are per fectly indifferent as to the course of Congress on the Senatorial question, for if Cougrooa cunciucies mat the election of Hill and Miller was legal Miller will doubtless he rejected, as he will be unable to take the test oath. If this is done, Dr. Miller’s place will be filled by Blodgett, and we will then have Hill and Blodgett as our Senators. We had just as soon be represented in the National Coun cils at once, by Blodgett and Eph Tweedy, as by Hill and Blodgett. TIIE DEFICIENCY IN LABOR SUP PLIED BY USE OF FERTILIZERS. We ask the attention of our read ers to the following extract from a private letter on the use of Fertili zers : ‘‘l had on my plantation last year thirty hands, and produced one hundred and fif teen bales of cotton. I have only twenty hands this year, but by the use of good fertilizers intend to increase the yeild of cotton to one hundred and fifty bales. In this way, I expect to supply the deficiency in labor. This can be done very ea-ily, and onr planters should give it their atten tion.” The above extract is from a plan ter of experience. He has used the different commercial manures for the last teree years, and knows wheieof he speaks. His idea of snpplying the deficiency in labor by the use of fern tilizers is a good one, and we Tvould be glad to see our farmers adopt it. Labor is decreasing each year, and onr planters will be compelled to re ciency. "’"'Acfopt the idea of the writer referred to, and call on Messrs. At water & Sharman or Messrs. Suggs & Olipbant, and procure your fertili zers. We find the following com munication in the Constitution of the Bth inst., calling on the people of Georgia to assemble in Convention, in Atlanta, before the re-assembling of the Legislature, to take into con sideration the pecuniary interest of Georgia. We agree with the corres pondent, that the political affairs of Georgia must grieve the heart of every honest man, no matter what his political opinions or predilections may be. But that a Convention could do any good, wc cannot “ see the point.” We are completely un der the control of the military au thorities, and what influence a Con vention would have with this tyrani cal authority is enveloped in mistery ? We think it would be money spent in vain. As we have said before, the yoke is upon us and we must bear it for the present. But when the mad ness that rules the hour has passed away, and reason again enthroned, "Then sectional hatred has vanished, and patriotism, true patriotism, burns afresh in the breast of every white man in Georgia, then we may look for better times. But while the law making powers are controlled by sectional hatred and prejudice, and look only to the interest of party and not to the good of the whole country, we can expect nothing good though we have a Convention every week. The only hope we have is couched in the old adage, “the dark est hour of the night is just before day.” We flatter ourselves that the Radical party has about run its race, we know* it is too rotten to live long. When it is dead we may look for bet ter times. A Convention can do no good: A Convention of the People in Atlan ta —Georgia must be Saved.— Mr. Editor : The state of political affairs are ominous of evil, and only evil. It must grove the hfart of any man, no matter win ; his po litical opinions or predilections r.t ly be— whether he be old line Democrat> * Whig, Republican or Secesssionist—to fee and kn< w the demoralized condition of our Stite Government in all its departments, and the utter lethargy that prevades the masses. Chaos is the watchword of party ; trouble and poverty its sequence. Cm anythiug be done to restore order, give con> fidence and securing to the laboring, suf ficing tax payers of the State? Gan the evi! be reached by a convention of the peo ple ? Let the effort be made before the as sembling of the Legislature. Let us forget party ditierences and party ascendadcy for once, invite all men, regardless of party, who hare the interest of the country at heart, to meet in Atlanta, and if possible unite on one policy, one platform. Liber ty without lawlessness, and the administrar tion of law without the intervention of the sword, should be the patriotic desire of every truly loyal Georgian. Inaugurate the movement, the people will respond. D. BOVINE GOVERNMENT. Atlanta, G a, F<.b. 10, 1870. Mr. JJdilor. —Lemons and fine drink, good cigars and theatre money, spring lounges and 1 r ashti by gaslight, a fancy walking cane and feast for the appetite, a State Treasury to foot the hid, are bully things in a bovine Government. These luxuries belong to some of our partisan rvho am sincere, parasitic “trooly loil” fellows lidding easy and are masters of the poor. They vindi cate their own impotance, sustain their own vices and perpetrate what ever wrongs they choose under pre tence of authority and exercise of power. They are consumers of our capital, public masters instead of pub lic servants, who labor in squandering our money, work in plans and devices for our torture and oppression, and all they do is utterly destructive of the interests of the common people. Some of these lemon squeezers, whiskey drinkers, fawning parasites, and “trooly loil” bovine officials are lying around watching and waiting for future developments j others have adjourned to rest, recreate and will come again next Monday to join their flatterers and ien w the farce. Tut the honest farmer must work while these wrong-doers rest, pay their recreation and suffer when they meet. So it is in a bovine Government , labor and money are bestowed and expended to support private debauchery and pub lic ruin. We propose, Mr. Editor, to notice these kid gloved dignitaries and pub lic 'wrong-doers who are true expo nents of his bovine majesty , and en deavor to keep you posted on what they do antftow they do it. O " ©** windows of my shelter into the White Hall of Georgia’s ‘gate city,'’ brilli antly lighted by burning gas. An excited populace t is rushing in a sort of pell-mel, go-ahead, knock-down and run-over style, hollering fire, wa ter, and such alarming elements as would wake, agitate and exercise mind, body, soul and spirit. This is the second fire in the city within less than one week. The first was at the American Hotel, this is the burning of a private residence near the fair ground. There is a kind of a stand-still in business here, except in the police department where gentlemen are sometimes served with lodging, as “Uncle Parker” says snolus bolus. Such is life for the present, what it will be to-morrow I can't say. War correspondent is sleepy and now retires. JAMB. Gov. War mouth of Louisiana says he has been offered $50,000 each to approve two bills passed by the Legislature.— Con stitution. If the Louisiana Legislature will send the bills to this State they can be approved for much less than that; especially if they have any Radical ism in them. TELEGRaThTo NEW S. Speeial to the Telegraph and Messenger. Washington, February 9 —Night.—The Anti-Bullock Delegation was before the Senate Judiciary Committee to diy. The Buliock-Blodgett party will be heard tomorrow. A majority of the committee favor ad mitting Hill and Miller, unless good evi eence is given to warrant a diffejeut conclu sion, and will so report. Moderate Republicans are much encour aged, and tin proceedings before the com mittee to-day are said to have been very lively. Three Radical members of the Committee bore down very heavy on Bullock, charging him with willful deception, and treated his pretentions with contempt. In an interview with the President to day, Gi ant expr> ssly denied the false teles grams got off t y Bullock through tl e Ass * ciated Press, and the statement he caused to be published in papers here, that the Presider #favorod anew election of Sena tors by a purified Legislature. The President and Gan. Sherman are known to be in accord with a majority of the Judiciary Committee on the question of the admessiou of Miller and Hill. FROM WASHINGTON. Washington, Feb. 9.—The New England Senators will join the Southern Senators against Bradley’s confirmation, and in fa vor of a judge from the South. The Judiciaiy Committee to-day heard fifteen Georgia's. The Covatives took the ground that the preeentiiglature was illegally constituted, or> acq. of the ad mittance of minority candig, and deo manded a reorganization. Bullock and others spoke fly in oppo sition. Senator Carpenter.jniunds and Conklin remempered that the former hearidg Gov.

The Legislation and Judicil Appropria* tion bills were discussed fiibouv final action. The President was requested to furnish information concerning the recint murder of Americans in Havana. Sb-w-hb.. —in tne Senate a bill was intro duced increasing the number of supteme judges and circuit courts. The Judiciary Committee were directed to inquire whether the Georgia Legislature reconstruction acts. Morton discussed neutrality. Resolutions were introduced directing the Judiciary Committee to inquire whether there has been any violation of the recon struction law by the Georgia Legislature. Mr. Morton spoke on his bill, and said it was to prevent military aid in time of war to revolted subjects of a foreign power. The Cencus bill was laid on the table. The Intelligencer learns that the prospect of the wheat crop in that section is highly favorable.

Probably never before in the whole history of medicine, *has any thing won so widely and so deeply upon the coniidence of mankind, as this excellent remedy for pulmonary complaints. Through a long series of years, and among most of the races of men it has risen higher and higher in then* estimation, as it has become better known. Its uniform character and power to cure the va rious affections of the lungs and throat, have made it known as a reliable protector against them. While adapted to milder forms of disease and to young children, it is at the same time the most effectual remedy that can be given for incip ient consumption, and the dangerous affections of the throat and lungs. Asa provision against .sudden attacks of Croup, it should be kept on hand in every family, and indeed as all are some times subject to colds and coughs, all should bo provided with this antidote for them. Although settled Consumption is thought in curable, still great numbers of cases where the disease seemed settled, have been completely cured, and the patient restored to sound health by the Cherry Pectoral. So complete is its mastery over the disorders of the Lungs and Throat, that the most obstinate of them yield to it. When nothing else could reach them, under the Cherry Perioral thpv subside and disappear. Hinders and Public Speakers find great protection from it. Asthma is always relieved and often wholly cured by it. .. Bronchitis is generally cured by taking the Cherry Pectoral in small and frequent doses. So generally are its virtues known, that we need not publish the certificates of them here, or do more than assure the public that its qualities are fully maintained. Ayer’s Ague Cure, For Fever and Ague, Intermittent Fever, Chill Fever, Remittent Fever, Dumb Ague, Periodical or Bilious Fever, &c., and indeed all the affections which arise from malarious, marsh, or miasmatic poisons. As its name implies, it docs Cure, and does not fail. Containing neither Arsenic, Quinine, Bis muth, Zinc, nor any other mineral or poisonous substance whatever, it in nowise injures any pa tient. The number and importance of its cures hi the ague districts, are literally beyond account, and we believe without a parallel in the history of Ague medicine. Our pride is gratified by the acknowledgments we receive of the radical cures effected in obstinate cases, and where other rem edies had wholly failed. | Unacclimated persons, either resident in, or i travelling through miasmatic localities, will be protected bv taking the AGUE CUBE daily, j For Liver Complaints, arising from torpid ity of the Liver, it is an excellent remedy, stimu lating the Liver into healthy activity, j For Bilious Disorders and Liver Complaints, it is an excellent remedy, producing many truly remarkable cures, where other medicines had failed.
