(% Mpgia |)cralb t WILLISfI to. WEAVER. PROPRIETOR TIIOM JUNE 11, ’TO dissolution of the firm of John I. Hall and William T. Weaver, as Editors and Proprietors of tqe Georqia llehald, appeared in the Inst, issue. The dissolution was not only mutual, hut perfectly satisfac tory, as was sten from the tone and preval ing sentiment, of Col. Hall’s valedictory. Bu<;h boing the case, we can but allude to it with appreciation, and sincerely wish, that the hints cast may not be, as it were “pearls cast before swine” to be unnoticed, but may they be accepted by the good and the wise, and may each and every citizen of every class, and occupation, take an tbiding interest, in the sheet, and thereby make it, a truthful, uaelul, and number one newspaper. As heretofore, its political sentiments can bo found in the gists of its articles, and appreciated by those who love truth and hate error. May its success ever fco as gradual, smooth and widening, as the dancing cf the ripple upon deep and still waters. AX EXTRAC T OF PRESIDENT GRANT’S MESSAGE OX THE DO MINICAN TREATY. President Grant in his message of May ?>lst, concerning the treaty between the United States and the Dominican Republic, approves of the annexation of that Repub be to the United States. lie expresses it, ns his opinion, that the obligations of this Government in procuring the Island need rot be more than $1,500,000, the amount stipulated in the tieaty of November 28th, 18G9. Ho thinks that amount will pay every just claim against the republic of San Domingo, and loave a balar.ee sufficient to carry on a Territorial government, until such time as new laws for providing a Ter ritorial revenue can be enacted, and put in force. He deems its annexation desirable by virtue of its geographical position. It commands the entrance to the Caribbean era, and the Isthmus transit of commerce, and possesses the richest soil, best and most capacious harbors, and most salubrious climate, and the most valuable products of the forest, mine and soil of any of the West India Island. lie is anxious for the ratification of the treaty, because he believes it will redound to the glory of tho two countries interested, to civilization, and to the extirpation of the institution of slavery, as well as for many other reasons assigned, some of which may be given hereafter. lie says r “The doctrine promulgated by President Monroe has been adhered to by all political parties, and I now deem it proper to assert the equally important principle the* here after no Territory on this continent shall be regarded as subject to transfer to a Eu ropean Power.” CONGRESS. Congress is still consuming time in dis cussing Tax, Revenue and Indian Appro priation bills. As yet, no final action has been taken on the Georgia bill, and from present indications, we can safely say, that none will be taken during the prescat sess sion. If so, what will become of poor Bullock ? THE AMERICAN UNION. The editor of the above sheet complains that “rebels and traitors are listened to at tho Capitol, and indeed throughout the country, in the distribution of public officers, and the ‘Radical loyals’ are neg lected.” In this general remark the afore said editor has committed a blunder. If he had said that some of the “Radical loy als” were neglected, we could not have joined issuo with him, but simply endeav ored, to defend such a policy. The govern ment we believe, and all officials ii botli Federal and State service who have had offices to bestow, have generally given them to their party. In some instances they have been compelled to go outside of their party, to get a competent man, &c. The true cause of this complaint, of the afore said editor, is, that he has nevor had an, office himself. The aforesaid editor has had his eyes and soul (if he has any) on office ever since tho surrender, be has gone to any extreme to get office, but all of his efforts have failed. The Macon Post Office was the “apple of this editors eye.” But tho department found a more worthy man in the person af H. M. Turney (ne gro.) Turner was removed for some cause, and the aforesaid editor “put in afresh” for the office, but his efforts were all unavail ing. The head of the department, not find ing a man of his party competent, and who could be trusted, appointed a “quasi” Re publican. And these disappointments are tho true cause of the editor’s dissatisfaction. A man who is true to no cause, who has no principle, and who seeks to give himself notoriety by slandering decent white peo ple, can never expect to succeed. It is true, the government has been put to desperate “straits” to get men at times to fill offices, and has from time to time been guilty cf some dirty things by appointing mean negroes to office, but no department or official has, as yet, so far forgotten their 8“lf respect, or gotten their consent to be guilty of such an unpardonable offeree against society, as to appoint the aforesaid r iitor to office. The wholesale abuse of the Southern people by the aforesaid editor, after he had lived here for a long time, aroused a very, just suspicion among the officials generally. He is very well known. Jttar Gov. Bullock has recovered frem bis late ilhrcgy. It is astonishing, hut nevertheless true, that Buih>ck has disgusted Congress. Hi- tune for influencing Congress has pass ed. and we think tie had better come home and look after his slander suit —Thomaston Herald. And how does this hack- woods, one horse rebel country newspaper, the editors of which never saw Congress, happen to know so much about the feeling of that body, the most of whose members are Pwad icals.—American Union Empire State. The above extract from tne Herald made its appearance in both, the American Union and Empire State, arid the above comment on the aforesaid article appeared in both of the said “dirty, radical thumb papers” e-s original matter. It would therefore seem that the Empire State, al though it bears a different name, is a duplicate only of the American Union. The poor, second-class deluded brain of one notorious, foul-mouth Swayzc, supports both. The American Union says, in speak ing of the article referred to in the Herald, “And how does this back-woods, one-horse rebel country newspaper, the editors of which never saw Congress, happen to know so much about the feeling of that body, the most of whose members are Radicals?” In response, we say that our information was gotten from the newspapers, and North ern newspapers at that, and not from asso ciation with any member of Congress, as we are careful about our associations. You are right Swa}Zo, when you aav we have never been to Congress We have never so far lost our self-respect as to want to see, even, the present Congress. There is a good many things we never done, or nad done to us. For instance ; wo never pre* tended to entertain Union sentiments dur ing the war, and when asked about it de nied them. Wo never during the war encouraged the rebellion, (as the war is now eallod by yon, for want of better sense and breeding.) by peeking Government printing at low rates, and theu since the war, denied that we ever gave aid and com fut to the enemies of the United States. We gave all the aid and comfort in our power and have never denied it. We never edited a little miserable sheet called the “Bugle Horn of Liberty,” in imitation of “Frank Leslie’s Illustrated News,” and in said dirty paper spoke of and introduced cuts not altogether becoming a tolerable well bred dog, about some elegant ladies, and for said editorial and cuts were “rode on a rail” by some indignant friends of the lad ies, and aftewards declared that it was for Union sentiments that we were thus treated. "We never after the war held a “Bureau agency” and used the same for the purpose of inducing the poor, deluded, ignorant negroes of the country to leave their healthy and peaceful homes and emi grate West to the sickly valley of the Mis sissippi, where they died like sheep with the “dry rot,” and all done for the sake of ten dollars per head.” Our “traffic in hu man flesh,” as it was called by Wendell Phillip*, was confined to the time when they were slaves and not since they are free. This nefarious traffic was kept up, until somebody was driven by the proper authorities from his aforesaid agency. We never were introduced as a witness in an important case, and after giving in our tes timony, had a number of negtoes brought forward, with whom we had previously as sociated, and who when brought forward testified, that they would not believe as “on oath in a court of justice.” There are a great many things that we couid mention that certain parties have done .and had done to them, that we have never done or had done to us, but as time is precious and the subject (J. C. S ) a very worthless ono r we forbear. JkiT la India a fearful cholera epidemic is raging. Thousands of bodies are left unburied Eleven thousand emigrants landed in New York, during four days of last week.

BLODGETT AsTfIN aNUIER. The present Treasurer of the State Road, Harris, gv»eai« before the Investigation Committee that the expenses of the road under Blodgett for December, January, February and March last were sl,l 2,879. 93, and the"receipts $1,06f, 136 84. showing an excess of cash spent over cash received, of $41,743 09. For the same months in 1808-9 under the expanses were $274,005 25, and the receipts $400.828 57, showing an excess of cash received over cash spent, es $186.763 32. So Blodgett, with $1,001,1*30 84 as the receipts fo>* four months, puts the road in del t s4l 743 09 while Col. Hulbert, with but $400.828 57 as the rece pts for the corresponding f..ur months, has put in the treasury $lB6 763 32 Under Ilulbert the total yearly receipts were $2.238,480 02, of which SI.OOB 525 15 was paid to connecting roads. This rule applied to Blodgett, subtracting $1U9.139- 92 cash received by Harris, his Treasurer, would make about $600,00 as tho State Road earnings for four months, or $140,0*4) more than under Ilulbert. So that while Hulbert, out of $4G0.828,s 57, made $186,763 32 for the Treasury, Blodgett, witn $6)0,000, put the road in debt $41,743.09. In other words, Blodgett has spent over $360,000 more in the same four months than Hulbert. The Constitution, to which we arc in* debted for these figures, seems bent on pil ing up wrath against a day of warth, by fts sharp criticisms and unanswerable axposi tion of the gross blunders and extravagan ces of the firm of Bullock & Blodgett, wholesale dealers in State Treasuries, rail roads, newspapers Congressional agencies, votes, jobs, purchascable Democrats, etc., etc., etc. — Telegraph and Messenger. In New York, recently, a child died Ao-m a rat A RACY LETTER. * THE OoVKRX-iR OF IDAII > AND TUB STATE RoAD. From the Atlanta New Era The spirit of “investigation” which has •o stirred the bile of local politicians for week* past, seems not to have wholly omit *ed the correspondents, reporters and at taches of the daily pr.-ss. So now that “in terviewing” has become somewhat antiquat ed, “investigating” very naturally takes its place. Under these circumstances, private pa pers will sometimes find their wav to the primer ; and this seems all the more natural in view of the fact that, during such sea sons if Investigation, papers and private correspondence cannot claim immunity I'om examination, the more especially wheu the investigators are conjured, by ali that is sacred and holy, to make a “clean shrieking” of the work before them. Thus it was that one of the Era reporters came into possession of the following racy letter, which he picked up, as he tells us, somewhere about the Superintendent’s of fice at the State Road Depot As this let ter is very readable ;. ami, moreover, as it is of interest to the public, we have conclu ded to publish it and take the consequen ces : Western and Atlantic Railroad.) Superintendent s Office, v Atlanta, Ga., June3d, 1870. ) Dr. Samuel Bard, Philadelphia, Pa. — Dear Sir : Your favor of the 29th ulr., with which you surrender your free pa«s over this road, given you in January last as editor of the New Era, and in which you also iocl .se your card as editor of the “True Georgian,”—thereby intimating your desire for a free pass as editor of the last named paper—has been received. 1 nar.d you., with my cnmplilmctits, a free pass over our road os editor of the “Daily and Weekly True Georgian.” I fear, however, it will be ,f little Use to you if you really believe the following state merit, which occurs over your signature in your Prospectus of “The True Georgian”— “The State Railroad, which, under former administrations, was an unfailing source of of large and constant revenue, though its gro*s receipts have greatly increased, has almost ceased to contribute to ti c S ate Treasury. The road, meanwhile, suffers for want of necessary repairs, and is actual ly looked upon as unsafe and dangerous ,” etc Now, if this be true, or, if you even be lieve it to be t»*ue, I apprehend that you would hardly put yourself in a position where your life woutd be in constant and unnecessary peril. Furthermore, if you really believe what you say in your Pros pectus. that fact will, in all probability, preclude the possibility of your ever be lieving otherwise; for I am persuaded that no prudent man like yourself would volun tarily put himself in the way of positive dao„er or peril, merely for the purpose of demonstrating to the world, and to his friends, that the road is “unsafe and dan gerou’S,” and, consequently, that what you say is true ! Whilst i regret, therefore, the unfortunate state of your mind which will prevent y u from using the free pass, J hope you will do me the justice to remem ber that 1 consider the road perfectly safe, and, consequently, do cot. by compliance with your delicately insinuated wish, med iate anything like violence to your person or indulge the hope that you “ may perish by the wayside .” In conclusion, allow me to thank you for your warm expressions of personal fr c .dship, and your best wishes for my happiness and success, and beg leave to subscribe myself. Your obedient servant, Foster Blodgett, Sup’t. Acknowledgements. — We are u der many obligations to Hon. G. W. Booker, M. 0., for a copy of Hon. Nelson Tift’s reply to Gov. Bullock’s ietter to the Judi ciary Committee. Mr. Tift is well posted in the affairs of Georgia, and shows up the slanderous, treacherous, lying, carpet-bag Governor of Georgia in his true light We will give the reply in full in our next issue. We commend it to the careful perusal of our readers. We would like to see Gov Bullock meet the charges made against him by Mr. Tift. We would also remind the Governor,that if he feels himself agrieved at the charge about ins effort to sell the Wesf ern and Atlantic Railroad, in Mr. Tift’s letter, that Mr. Tift is perfectly able to pay, whatever amount he may recovery in aslan suit. Wheat Bran for Horses.—The spirit of the Times says : “Wheat hrm, given io the form of mash, is the usual food for sick horses; it relaxes the bowels • this proba* bly depends upon mechanical irritation.— Mashes are laxative, and of course debili tating, hence should not be given to horses that are to continue at hard work or fast work. Many stablemen give bran once a week ; they seem to think its indispen sable; they talk as if the horse could not be kept in health without it. This is all nons sense. But to give bran rs a nourishment to a h.rse under ordinary circumstances, is to give him aim >st the dearest food he can live upon, even when his work does not absolutely demand more substancial food.” BREAKING IT GENTLY.. * When the lamented Judge Bagley trip ped and fell down the Court-house stairs ana broke his neck, it was a great question how to break the News to Mr*. Bagley. But finally the body was put into Higgins’ wagon and he was instructed to take it to Mrs. Bagley. but to be very guarded and discreet in his language, and n >t to break the news to her st once, bat do it gradual ly and gently. Waen Higgins got tnere w th his sad freight, he shouted till Mrs. Bagiev came to the door. Then he said : “D >es the winder Bagley live here?” r, The widow Baglay ? No, sir?” “I’ll bet she dors But have ityuor own way Well, (foes Judge Bagiev live here,” “Yes. Judge B gley lives here.” “I’ll bet her don’t. But never mind—it ain’t for me to contradict, Is the Judge in?” “No, not at present.” 1 I jest expected as much. Because, you know —»ake hold o’ euthin, mum, for I’m a going to make a little communication, and I reckon maybe it’ll jar yon sane. There’s been an accident, mum f’ve got the old Judga curled-up out here in the wagon— and when- you rfee him you’ll acknuwledg yourself that an inquest is about the* only thing that could be a comfort to him !” At London Park Baltimore, June Bth, there were three thousand persons present at the decoration of the Confederate oobdiers grave?.

The day \r»s bright and beautiful, and we met many young ladies and gentlemen who had as sembled at Oak Grove Academy to pass the time in cordial greeting, and sing the “happy hours away.” Professor Pound —musical editor of the Barnesville Gazette —was present controling the melodies, and contributing to the pleasures of the occa sion. The Professor is a “ great singest ” ar and has a thorough knowledge and practice of the varied systems of music, and gave instructive lessons and lectures to all who were present and attentive. Many silvery voices ourdened the air with sweetest song, which was rendered still more pleasing and attractive by the radient beauty arid sunny smiles of the fair choristers. The great singist is also a good-hearted mortal, and his lessons of music and lectures on piety left impressions holy and indeliible, in the hallowed sanctuary of young and tender hearts. We heartily approve such associa tions. They are as improving as they are entertaining, and mert five liberal patron age of all refined and educated communi ties who appreciate the blending of music and morals. Prof. Pound is preparing a new music book ; buy a copy everybody and relieve his newspaper of its present fa-so-la burden. Very Old. — We met an old colored “gemrnun” the other day, and being im* pressed, from his appearence, with the be lief, that he had lived to an extraordinary old age, asked him his age. At the pro pounding of this question, the old darkey's face, “lit up” with smiles, which from their sincere appearence, must have emanated from the very bottom of his soul, and said j “La Masa, I dunno zactly how old I is, but I think il da good lor, send next tater dig en time, I will he mos three hundred and fifty year old.” This is quite a ripe old age, and we hope the good old “darkey” will live three or four hundred years longer to enjoy free dom. The Cotton Cb>p—Estimates as to the ex’ent ot the cotton crop last year vary all the way from 2,5* Ch 00 to 3,500,000 miles. The Daily Bulletin presents numerous sta 1 - tistios to prove that the crop amounted to fully 3,00 ,000 bales, 2.400.000 bales hav ing already come forward Reliable South ern advieee represent that toe supply still remaining in the Central Cotton States is about the same as a year ago, while large quantities are held in the country back of New Orleans.
