pe Secretary of State of Tennessee has written
tkifer in regard to the state of the finances. He
up the interest on the State debt has been paid
'ox tw years past, by constant hypothecation

interest due next week, it would require
jgshh this amount of collateral, of which $200,
he mold be lost without hope. Daring the
id four years the State has loaned to railroads
the enormous sum of $15,000,000; but a mere
ale at interest has been paid on this sum. It

ini that the best that can be done will be to fund
i His letter is a scathing rebuke to Radical ex-
cingance and misrule in Tennessee.
Tee CiTEErn-T.An in Florida.—A commission
borne in this city, says the Charleston Courier of
Tuesday, received yesterday a letter from one
of the most respectable and experienced plant-
ers in East Florida, dated Ellisville Postoffice,
Cohunhia county, Flo., June 23, in which the
writer says: “There is no doubt about the cat
erpillar being here, though they are doing ho
harm as yet; bnt they are here and have webbed
in some places, bnt in small quantities. The
fly can be seen almost anywhere. I do fear that
they will take the present crop. If so, I don't
tee what will become of the people.”
Ike Wheat Tease.—The World says that at
he Western markets there were delivered, in
(our weeks of June, 1868, 230,768 barrels flour
ad 1,(93,937 bushels wheat. During the cor-
-pending four weeks of June, 1869, 458,268
Uriels of flour and 5,664,910 bushels of wheat
were received at the same markets—that is to
ay three times as much wheat and nearly twice
u much flour.
The law as relates to the time of maturity of
Bank paper, falling due on Sunday, July 4,
1859, and published on yesterday, upon exam
ination, we And is a New York statute. The
rules governing at Banks in this city is, that
notes maturing Sunday, July 4th, are due Satur
day, July 3d.
Betted than the Presidency.—A land suit
has just been decided in a Chicago court by
which ex-Govemor Seymour comes in for a share
of a million of dollars. This is better than the
Presidency. Besides, while the money is sure
to make friends, the Presidency is sure to make
enemies.
Old Rip Van Wksle.—Civilization is ad
vancing in North Carolina. At Charlotte, the
other day, they had a gander-pulling, the gal
lant knights riding at the game on velocipedes.
The Knight of Persimmons carried off the
head, and enthroned the Queen of Love and
Beauty upon the inverted slush-tnb, and crown
ed her with a gourd.
Cobb County.—The New Era learns from a
gentleman in Cobb, that cropB in his section
were good. The people are about done gather
ing a generous yield of wheat. Com is gener
ally clean and is growing well. The people have
got their farms well reconstructed and are be
ginning to live comfortably again.
The Mormons make headway in England;
‘nd at Sheffield, under the auspices of Elder
Hyde, many converts have been secured among
•I* cutlers. The working classes of Sheffield
include many artisans of a speculative disposi-
li*o, whose hard lot makes them anxious to em-
brace any project or religion that promises to
Utter their fortunes.
Site fob a New Executive Mansion.—The
"Islington correspondent of the Cincinnati
Qttette says: Tho President and members of
Hi* Cabinet have been looking over the ground
1* find a site for a new Executive Mansion which
cube recommended to Congress, and are nn-
-uriood to be substantially agreed upon a loca-
fi® in the northwestern part of the city.
The Confederate Dead.—The Confederate
fi**d are being removed from the .Chickamauga
Uttle field and re-interred in the Confederate
^ttetery at Marietta. The Journal says that
*Uut two hundred bodies arrived there during
Buy Weather in Atlanta.—The Intelli-
iiacer, of Wednesday, regrets to say that tho
^i*a are getting brassy, and that vegetation
'Unit the city begins to show the effects of dry
leather; the streets, too, are disagreeable to

A Large Collection.—The Chicago Republi-
Cin says that seventy thousand dollars were col
lected last Sunday in the Unitarian Church of
that city, to pay the debts of. the Church.
Stillman S. Conant is to be successor of Mr.
Raymond as editor-in-chief of the Times. He

Weekly Review of the Market.
OFFICE DAILY TELEGRAPH, >
June SO—Evening, 1869. J
Business and trade generally have been quite dnll
in this market during the week ending this evening,
and we have little or nothing to report al much in
terest to commercial circles or the general reader.
Money continues easy and the banks readily dis
count all good paper at quoted rates of interest.
During the past week but very little paper of any
description has been presented for discount, as the
busy season is about over and large amounts of
money are no longer required to move cotton or any
other produce.
The stock and bond market has been rather quiet
during the week and we have heard of no heavy
transactions. The better class of this land of se
curities is in moderate demand, and prices are al
most wholly without change since the date of our
last weekly review of the market. We quote:

Cotton.—Receipts to-day 22 bales: sales 25; ship
ped 80.
The receipts for the week ending this evening,
the above included, were 63 bales; sales for same
time 47; shipments 54—showing an increase of re
ceipts the past week over those of the week before
of 17 bales; decrease of sales 132 bales.
The market has been steady and firm nearly all
the week, and prices have lqoked upward most of
the time. Operations, however, have beenextieme-
ly light, owing altogether to the light offering stock.
Indeed there is bnt little cotton in this market to
offer at any price. Tho market closed firm this
afternoon at the following rates—being an advance
of one cent upon the price at the date of our last
weekly review:

GROCERIES AND PROVISIONS.
Excepting the articles of com and bacon we have
no change to make in quotations to-day.

demand all the week, and has fallen off fully 1 cent
per pound daring that time.

Washington and Johnson Counties.
The Sandersville Central Georgian of the 30th
nit., says:
Refreshing showers of rain have visited dif
ferent parts of this county during the last few
days. The com crop, generally, is very good.
This crop is now made, so far as work is con
cerned, and a few more seasonable showers will
put the bread question beyond a preadventure,
at least in Washington county.
A farmer from Johnson reports the crop in
that county better than for many years. Com,
he says is very promising. The truth of the
matter is, people have learned that one acre
well tilled and properly manured i3 better than
five without manure and poorly cultivated.—
There will probably be no greater yield of cot
ton than ordinarily of a good crop year, not as
mnch perhaps, as in the olden time—but it will
be gathered from a much smaller area of land.
The com crop will doubtless be larger, in this
part of Georgia, than since 1861. The prospect
for a supply of bacon, aocording to our obser
vation, is iso, better than usual. We hear of
no hog cholera, and but little depredation by
“hunters.” If our political matters could only
“simmer down” to a proper position, Georgia,
at least would be on the high road to fortune.
Mb. Samuel J. Smith, of this county, sent ns,
on Monday last a cotton boll nearly matured.—
This is quite eariy for this section.

HURLEY’S SYRSAPJSILU,
w u‘°<> luixoaucea u to tue puonc, aociit is aireaay
recognized by the most eminent physiciaisin all parts
ot the country to be the most surprisingand effective
remedy for certain diseasesof which they, have knowl
edge.
All other Compounds or Syrups of tb/s Root have
hitherto failed to command the sanctiolof theFaeul
ty. because on being tested, they havebeen found to
contain soxions ingredients, which neutralize the
good effects of the Sarsaparilla, and oftintimes injure
the health of the patient. It is not so vith Hurley’s
preparations. f
This is the pure and genuine extract »f the root, and
will, ontnai, be fonnd to eflecta certain and perfect
cure of the following complaints:
Affections of the Bones, HaMtunl Cositlve*

Hurley’s Ague Tonic.
PERFECTLY RELIABLE.
The only remedy for Chills and Fever, or Ague and
Fever, that is or can be depended upon, is HUR-
LEY.S AGUE TONIC. There have been thousands
cured by using it who have tried the nsual remedies
without benefit.
WO&TBZ or ATTENTION.
To Dr. That. A. Hurley:
I hereby certify that during last year I was attack
ed With the Ague whilst in Vicksburg, MisE., and used
several popular medicines with but temporary relief.
On reaching home the disease returned in a worse type,
if possible, when my medical attendant ordered Qui
nine in large doses— frequently as high as sixty
grains per day. and which must have cost me nearly
8100. I consulted Dr. fcmith, of Louisville, and found
he prescribed quinine and arsenic combined, which I
refused to take, preferring to let the disease take its
course. I was almost bloodness, extremely exhausted,
and pronounced with largo Liver and Spleen. Abont
this time the advertisement of Hurley’s Ague Tonio
appeared in a city paper, and I determined to give it
atrial. I did so, and have no reason to regret it.
One bottle restored me completely, andsince that time
I have seen nearly a hundred cases in which it acted
with equally happy results, and would certainly
recommend it as. preferable to any other tonic before
the public.

HURLEY’S
Popular Worm Gandy.
As this is really a specific for Worms, and the best
and most palatable form to give to children, it is not
surprising that it is fast taking the place of all other
preparations for worms—it being perfectly tasteless,
and any child will take it.
Messrs. James Ruddle A Co.—Gentlemen: It gives
me pleasure to say, after using all the other worm
remedies known to me. with but partial relief to my
children, that;! was advised to try Dr.T. A. Hurley's,
and since using it, my children have become quite well
andhealthy: tbe children wonld eat it all the time, it
is so pleasant, if we would let them. It is my belief
it is one of tbe best and safest remedies known, and
as such, recommend it to one one and all.

I'&OC&AKASXOV.
Whereas, A great safe guard for Republican in
stitutions is to be found in the general dissemination
of knowledge among the masses of the people; and
Whereas. It is almost universally the practice of
State Governments to relieve from taxation the cap
ital invested in material necessarily employed in the
printing and publishing of books, magazines, news
papers, etc., and
Whereas, A proper construction of the present stat
utes of force in this State will not permit an exemp
tion for taxation for capital so employed.
And in order that the General Assembly may-have
an opportunity to enact a law specially exempting
from taxation the value of material employed in
printing and publishing; and to the end that no un
necessary burdens maybe placed upon these valuable
and important public benefactions nntil the General
Assembly may have an opportunity of exercising its
wisdom in deciding this question.
Now, Therefore, I, Rufus B. Bullock, Governor
and Commander-in-Chief of the Army and Navy of
this State, and of the Militia thereof, do hereby, by
virtue of the authority in me vested by the 70th Sec
tion of the Code, issue this my proclamation suspend
ing the collection of all State taxes assessed upon the
value of type, printing presses and other property be
longing thereto, actually in use for the purpose of
publication or printing, nntil the next session of the

NEWNAN
CHALYBEATE SPRINGS.
T»HE attention of the public is specially inTited to
A the unparalleled claims of these celebrated and
popular Springs. To those who have visited them
they need no recommendation. But a uniform ex
perience of more than ten years having fully demon
strated their superior virtues, demands that their
merits should be more widely known, and their ben
efits more largely extended. Hundreds ot visitors can
testify to their healing efficacy and their wonderful
medicinal properties. In some instances their effects
upon enfeebled, emaciated systems, and delicate con
stitutions of both sexes, have been almost miraculous.
Tho following signal advantages of these Springs
over all other watering places will commend them
selves to all intelligent minds:
1st. They are located in the corporate limits of the
city of Newnan, one of the most healthy, pleasant
and delightful towns in Georgia. Here there are ex
cellent Schools, Churches and social advantages un
surpassed anywhere. The people are genial, polite,
cultivated and refined. The ladies of Newnan can
not be surpassed by any community.
2d. These Springs are directly accessible by rail
road : within a few hundred yards of the Atlanta and
W eat Point K aitroad. This will save Hack and Coach
fare, and the inconvenience of transportation to re
mote rural districts. There is. aIso t a Telegraph
Offioe, which will pat visitors in daily and hourly
communication with their homes in the cities.
3d. Board can be obtained at two excellent hotels,
or in pleasent private families, at from $25 to $30 per
month, which is less than half tbe average of board at
other popular waterin g places. The facilities for good
fare are equal to any in the country.
4th. As to the mineral waters themselves, they need
onl.v to be tested to satisfy any unprejudiced mind of
their superior merits. Their medicinal effects will
be experienced immediately. They are a powerful
tonic; giving a good appetite and building up an en
feebled constitution from the commencement of
their use.
5th. Add to all these considerations the advantages
of polite and pleasant society; a wonderfully bracing
and salubrious climate: many sources of pleasant re
creation. and the fact that Newnan is one of the best
and cheapest retail markets (for every variety of
goods) in the South, and it may be safely affirmed
that no place can present such au array of attractions
to visitors as this. iWeaskbut a trial to satisfy any
one. Those wishing a choice of homes should be sure
to come early, as we expect to be crowded with visi
tors during the season. For particulars address

To Jets. Ruddle & Co., Louisville, Ky.:
Gextleuex : This is to certify that I have been for
years a sufferer, land have tried all tho tonics I have
heard of or seen advertised, with little or no relief
from any of them. I heard your Hurley Bitters high
ly spoken of, and tried a bottle, with little faith in it
before I commenced, and, to my surprise and joy, be
fore I finished one bottle, I felt a great deal better,
and firmly believe that on one or two occasions it was
the means of saving and prolonging my life. I con
scientiously recommend them to all sufferers as the
best Bitters known, and advise them always to ask for
Dr. T. A. Hurley’s, and have no other. You can ui
this as yon think proper, if it wUl benefit others.
