Notice to Exchanges. —Editors who favor us

Please Pardon
The many glaring imperfections which may be
detected both in the matter and mechanical ar
rangement of this number of the paper, for it has
been gotten up under the most unfavorable cir
cumstances.
Gratuitous.
We take the liberty of distributing specimen
copies of this paper among the citizens of the city,
lor their perusal, and hope they will find time to
examine its contents; and after reading we re
quest that they take the copies home with them
to their families—those who are blessed with such
comforting “institutions.”
To the Citizens of Atlanta*
AND READ.*4^5^
We have the pleasure to address you as a citi
zen and are proud of the privilege we enjoy in
calling ourself a resident of your pleasant and
promising young city. We cannot refrain from
expressingthe great pleasure which we have thus
far experienced in finding so much kindness, gen
erosity, intelligence and refinement among
the citizens; we are even now already prepared
to affirm with enthusiasm that the population of
Atlanta, though mixed and-varied, is thronged
with men of the noblest type. But while we
would thus heartily congratulate ourself upon the
many encouraging features of our new home, and
upon the exalted character of the people among
whom our lot has been cast, please allow us to
monopolize a small portion of your attention
while we make a few-unvarnished statements re
specting our future policy and the relationship
which we trust shall be maintained between us.
In becoming a citizen, our interests are to a
greater or less extent, inseparably identified with
those of the city and its inhabitants—we would
not suffer ourself to be called a citizen under
any other relation, for we are willing that our
success should be linked with theafortune of our
adopted home, and whether or not we shall ever
be found to possess the self-sacrificing spirit dis
played by the youthful Curtius for the salvation
of his native and beloved city, we shall at all
hazards prove a faithful sentinel upon the walls,
loyal to its welfare, and ready at all times to ad
vocate the promotion of its importance. We
mark with the deepest interest its rapid progress
towards the acme of perfection, and it is truly
encouraging to know that the various improve
ments which are now going on are no fungi
growth, but solid and substantial, prophetic of its
future importance among the cities of the south
ern states. It promises at some day early in the
future to challenge competition in size, in the ex
cellency of its buildings, extent of its manufacto
ries, and in the wealth and refinement of its pop
ulation. Would that we could hasten the day
which is coming when it will be the Metropolis
of our southern confederacy—another Jeddo in
size with no Tycoon Emperors ruling in its lim
its. The attainment of these grand achievements
by the city depends upon its citizens, and as one
of its newly adopted children we aspire to per
form an active part in the accomplishment of such
glorious results. In enacting our part we shall
be diligent in our efforts to suppress vice and
crime of every shade, and active in the promotion
of virtue, intelligence and humanity. We shall
labor to establish a healthy, moral sentiment
throughout the entire population, for a city with
no moral ioundation will sooner or later perish
like Gomorrah and its architectuary however
splendid will moulder in oblivion with the
broken columns of old Thebes, Balbec, Ecbata
naand Jerusalem. Vandalism with all its hell
barn barbarity will creep in and the Sloths and
Visigoths of destruction will obliterate all its mag
nificence. It will be our province to attempt a
special watch-guard over the morals of our
prospering young city, and we shall defend with
Roman fortitude whatever is right and condemn
without mercy that which is criminal. But at
the same time our whole intercourse with the
citizens of Atlanta as a public journalist shall be
oharacterized’throughout, by the strictest courte
sy to all classes and grades of men. Our press
shall never be prostituted to a dirty vehicle for
slander and base personalities, nor will we as an
editor ever stoop so low as to defame the reputa
tion and fair name of any human being; but it
will rather be our pleasure to protect human char
acter from the serpent sting of envious vitupera
tion. We shall exercise a heartfelt interest in the
success of every business-man however humble,
whose occupation is an honorable one. We shall
talk, and write, and “puff” and “&Zow” and “ lec
tioneer” for them all, and until forced to con
clude otherwise we shall regard every citizen of
Atlanta a personal friend, a friend to our paper
and the cause it advocates. We shall strike
hands with the pious Minister of the church and
wish him a God-speed in scattering bread upon
the waters. We shall grasp with a warm friend
ship’s grip the hands of all the different kinds of
Merchants, the hand of the Lawyer, Doctor.
Grocer, Mechanic, Machinist, Jeweler, Druggist,
Tailor, Shoe-maker Hotel-caterer, Candy-mak
er, Cracker-baker, Founder, Livery-stable-man,
Drayman, Policeman, Railroad hand, Agents, and
Traders of all kinds, and wish each and every one
of them abundant success in all lawful enterpri
zes. The man of means and “dignified leisure”
we also claim as our friend, and the loafer who
has no occupation nor money, we would kindly
take one side by the button-hole and advise him
to go to work. We would even take the Retailer
of ardent spirits by the hand and assure him oi
our personal friendship, lor while we wage an
uncompromising crusade against his occupation,
we have ho word of abuse to utter against him
ap a man for he is persuing a lawful business.
But we shall portray in all their blackness and
loathesome deiormity, the evils caused by his
profession, and would to God we had the ability ;
to sketch them so true to nature, that he him
self might see at a glance the extent of its with
ering and desolating curses. Could all the mil
lions of ruined families and starviug children, the
debris of shattered intellects, the multitudes of
raving maniacs, dying drunkards, lost culprits
hanging upon the gallows, convicts in the pen
itentiaries, and the millions of property wasted
and destroyed, be gathered together in one view,
and could the Retailer know and feel that his oc
cupation had caused it all, methinks his har
dened soul would swell with pious indigna
tion, and he would hasten to abandon the damn
ing trade, and curse the law which legalizes such
a monstrous wrong. Retailers have human feel
ings, and we have seen many who could weep
over a fellow-man’s misfortunes. Their profes
sion is a money-making business and hence the
reason of their following it. We shall say noth
ing personal to wound their feelings, but wish
them to read our paper, and if we can persuade or
influence them to renounce their occupation, we
shall “rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of
glory.” Nor shall we ever abuee the drunkard,
but will rather leave that for him to do—he being
his worst enemy; but we will pity him in his
degradation, take him by the hand and persuade
him to be a man and not a brute. We hope our
mission here shall not prove a failure, and wheth
er we accumulate wealth or not, it will be a
source of great happiness to us to know that we
have been an humble instrument in promoting
the interests and welfare of the people.
Our home is the “city ot railroads” and we
shall labor in its behalf, and while we hope it
may continue as now to advance in magnitude,
we trust it shall possess the elements of true great
ness, and be as permanent as old Damascus which
has been proverbial for its beauty and wealth ever
since the Patriachal age, and where now may be
seen the street called “straight” in which Ana
nias went directed by a vision, to inquire for “one
Saul of Tarsus.”
To the Ladies of Atlanta.
No man can truthfully say that he is a more
enthusiastic admirer, or a warmer friend of the
ladies generally, than we, and knowing full well
the unlimited influence they possess in matters
of all kinds, we most earnestly solicit their-con
siderations in behalf of our paper. While the
Proprietor and his male Associate deeply regret
that they havn I sufficient personal pulchritude to
challenge your admiratton, they can assure you
that they have large hearts, warm, and capable
of appreciating the smallest as well as the lar
gest favors; and they together with our Editress,
Mrs, Bryan, whose literary genius is unsur
passed, labor weekly to furnish the ladies espe
dally, a readable paper; and it is truly encour*
aging to know that the Crusader has a multitude
of strong and enthusiastic female friends scat
tered over Georgia and its adjacent States. We
hope to make many such friends among the lovely
lair ones both married and single ol Atlanta, and
it would fill us with gratitude to have every lady
in the city welcome the paper to their homes
weekly and peruse its contents.
Once More.
After an interval of several weeks, the Crusa
der again drifts out seeking the fiiesides of its
numerous old friends and acquaintances, to so
licit a renewal of the happy intercourse which has
existed between jt and them for the last two or
three years. It now hails from a populous and
thriving city, and goes out buoyant with hope,
bearing a New Year’s blessing to every patron.
Our prospects, now, are bright, and the sky above,
uuobscured by a single portentos cloud, and
whether or not our argosy shall be driven clear
of the Scylla and Charybdis of misfortune, or go
down in the maelstrom of death, remains for the
future to reveal. The book of fate has been wise
ly closed to mortal ken, and it is not in the power
of man to penetrate the veil of futurity to see
what lies hidden beyond; hence, we must labor
and wait, to behold the end of our destiny. But,
kind friends, our success mainly depends on you.
No effort shall be spared, on our part, to make
the Crusader worthy of your consideration, and
it is for you to say whether or not it shall be wel
comed, as a weekly visitor, in your family cir
cles. Many of our friends have encouraged us
by saying that they and their families sadly
missed the paper during its short suspension. It
is pleasant to know that we are missed during
our absence.
“Do they miss me at home”
is the spontaneous inquiry of every absent heart
and nothing is more stimulating to an editor than
to know that his.paper is appreciated enough to
cause regret w hen it fails to appear. And espe
cially is it “an assurance most dear,” to know
that the “loved ones” are saying we wish the
Crusader would come.
Our paper, as will be observed, is much en
larged, having seven columns to the page, and
each column much longer than before; it is also
much improved in mechanical appearance, con
tains an extravagant amount of reading matter,
and when we get regularly “under way,” it will
be weekly an inviting repertory overflowing with
all the floating matter of any consequence, the
latest intelligence from the four corners of the
country, together with quantities of original mat
ter. We hope our patrons will duly appreciate
these improvements, and that the Crusader will
be first in their affections.
We commence the New’ Year with a stou 1
heart, renewed zeal and anew quiver ; let en
couragement be whispered to us from our friends
abroad, to nerve us onward. The war against
the traffic in human souls is but just begun ; our
faithful Damascus is unsheathed, and its scab
bard tfltewn to the winds. We shall
“Strike ! till the last armed foe expires;
Strike! for our country and our sires;
God, and our native land.”
The battle-axe of truth shall continue to ring
against the temple of blood, and in the name ox
the great Ruler above, we hope the year eighteen
hundred and fifty-nine shall chronicle its fall.
Give us your counsel and assistance, dear friends,
wherever you are. Circulate the Crusader till
it is taken in every family.
Will you not Strike for us?
To be central and easy ol access to the people
of the State, we removed to this city, and in so
doing incurred heavy expense ; will you aid us
in redeeming it ? We can but believe you will.
Ah! we know it. We know many upon whom
we can rely with eertainty; would that we might
hear from many more. Gird on your working
harness and begin to strike in our behalf, for you
and your families, and your neighbors’ families,
are deeply interested in the success of our paper,
and the cause it advocates. • You are slumbaring,
building homes and rearing families by the very
Craters which are surcharged with Protean deso
lations. Your children grow up under the lep
rous influence of words as wicke'd as vile, and
their pathway from the hearthside to the school
room is thickly beset with pit-falls. Will you
not strike hands with us in our feeble efforts to
remove them ? Do not stand by and gaze on our
struggles with unconcern, expressing, all the
while, the warmest friendship for us and our
cause, for there is not the slightest semblance of
an apology for the abominable hypocrisy of that
man who is all the time professing great interest
in the temperance reformation, but never lends
so much as the shadow of his influence, or the
weight of a hair in promoting its success. Prove
your faith by your woiks; circulate your organ,
the Crusader, and we will then recognize your
friendship; but so long as it remains a mere oral
expression proceeding from the roof of the mouth
we cannot appreciate it, nor can we recognize
your “grip.” Our friends must assist us, for
without their influence we can do but little, and
if they desert us we stand powerless against a
multitude of giant enemies.
Remove the Curse.
A fact from the Note Book of a Temperance Missionary.
Some years ago I was engaged in the capacity
of a temperance missionary in a small town in
the North of England. While there I became ac
quainted with a young man of good family. In
his youth he had received a liberal education,
but unfortunately became addicted to drinking.
Plunging headlong into the gulf of dissipation, he
became an outcast, lost his reason and was sent
to the lunatic asylum. After a time he was re
stored to his friends. Again he drank, and again
he became a sot. Happily, through the instru
mentality of the temperance society, he was in
duced to sign the pledge; and then the cry arose
in his bosom, “I’m saved.” His wile and chil
dren shouted, “he’s saved!” The teetotalers
joined in the shout, “he’s saved,” and all good
men rejoiced because he was saved. He attended
the meeting of the society ; told the history ot
his degradation, and of the blessings which had
resulted to him and his family from the adoption
of the principles of total abstinence. But alas!
in a fatal moment he fell. The alcoholic appetite
was so strong, and the temptations of the drink
seller so powerful, that he could not resist; again
he became a drunkard. One morning a crowd of
persons were assembled in the street, and in the
middle oi the crowd was this poor victim of the
accursed drinking system drunk, and kneeling on
the damp ground, offering up a mock prayer to
Jehovah. We spoke to him, but it was too late ;
his reason had fled.
He rose from his knees, bent his steps towards
one of those dens where men are transformed into
fools and madmen, called lor rum and it was sup
plied. He then went home and took a knife and
tried to cut his throat, but was prevented. He
tv as taken to the work-house asylum of the town,
and being lett for a few moments alone in a room,
be lashed his head against the wall, and his brains
bespattered the floor. I saw him carried to the
graveyard ; and while I shed a tear over the vic
tim, from my heart I breathed a deep and hitler
curse against that system which produces such
effects; and yet, “tell it not in Gath,” that sys
tem is licensed by a professedly Christian gov
ernment, and defended by the so-called virtuous
and the good. “Oh, that an energy were felt”
to hush the drinking system altogether; to dig it
up—to root it up, and to cauterise the very soil
so that this deadly Upas tree might be seen
amongst us no more forever.— Weekly Record.

THE GKOTIGIA TEMPERANCE CRUSADER..
----- mw
Minute* of Grand Division.
This paper oontains on the fourth page the pro
ceedings of the G. D. of this State, which met in I
Augusta on the 27th of October last. We are
late in bringing them out, owing to the fact that
the G. S. directed them to this place before we
had removed from Pe.ifield. Our obliging P. M.
here, Mr. Wilson, kindly preserved them until
our arrival.
In Politics and Religion
This paper is strictly neutral. We never suf
fer its columns to become contaminated by polit
ical corruption, nor do we make war upon any
religion, sect or religious creed; but in the lan
guage of the constitution, leave every man per
fectly free to worship God after the dictates of
his own conscience; and whatever may be the
tenets of his faith, if he be sincere and honest in
his belief, and the grounds upon which it is based
be rational and unexploded, we defend him in his
worship, no matter what may be the name ot the
order or sect by which he is characterized.
To Advertisers.
Persons wishing to advertise in a public jour
nal will find the Crusader an excellent medium.
Our circulation is between thirty-five hundred
and four thousand copies, and estimating an av
erage of ten readers to each copy, the usual esti
mate, we have between thirty and forty thousand
regular weekly readers. The circulation is gen
erally distributed throughout the State, there be
ing but few offices where the paper is not re
ceived regularly, which, being the case, undoubt
edly recommends the paper as a most capital me
dium. We admit no advertisements of an ob
scene character, nor will anything which is not
strictly decent and respectable,. be brought before
the public through our columns. Very nearly all
the patent nostrums which infest the journals
of the country, are wholly discarded from the
columns ot this paper, irrespective of money.
Our Job Office.
We are prepared to execute Job-work of alj
kinds, after the most tasty styles, and would hum
bly solicit a portion of the city job patronage-
Our offiee is complete and select in printing ma
terial, and our Foreman a most excellent job-prin
ter. Persons abroad wishing circulars, pam
phlets, catalogues, programmes, cards or labels
printed, can be accommodated upon reasonable
terms at this office, and we would be pleased to
receive their orders.
The ‘Western Markets.
We design appropriating considerable space in
our columns very especially to the commercial
news from the Western countries; and so soon
as we can establish direct communication with
the Western markets, we shall devote much time
to gathering, for our readers, all reliable infor
mation as to the prices current for pork, grain,
cotton and groceries of all kinds.
Many will Receive this Number of the Cru
sader who are neither subscribers nor acquain
tances, but the fact of your receiving it will in
form you that your name has been given us by
some of your personal friends, who feel confident
that you will become a subscriber yourself and
induce others to do the same. Be sure to remem
ber that we have “heard- good things'concerning
you” and your influence, and we shall be very
happy to hear from you. individually. You will
certainly not disappoint the good opinion which
we have formed of you from your friends’ ac
counts, by giving the “go by” to this slight
hint ! If so, you will make your friend feel badly,
and we, a great deal worse.
Our Private Residence,—We are uncomfort
ably located on Pryor st. which is next to White
hall on the East, and running parallel with it.
Our dingy, unpainted cottage|sits on the corner ol
Pryor and Peters streets — is tenanted by large
rats and bed-bugs, all of whom have unusually
large families, living with them in the same
house. Friends from abroad in passing through
Atlanta will remember that the string to our
latch hangs outside; but we have no “hard cider
nor coon skins.’'’’ “Drop in and see us;” we
have nothing to eat as yet, but are expecting ev
ery week when we shall have something, or else
“peg out.” We are now slaughtering rats.
Mixed Schools.— We learn that the citizens of
Penfield have decided upon throwing the Male
and Female schools of that place, into one for the
current year. Mr. A. S. Morgan present propri
etor of the male school, is to be Principal of both,
if we have been correctly informed. We hope
the experiment may successful. The same
policy has been adopted with the schools at Spar
ta and Buffalo, in Hancock county.
. Displaying Advertisements. —There is a mor
bid fancy among advertisers now a days for hav
ing their advertisements set in large fancy caps,
filled with wood cuts, arranged perpendicular,
diagonal, oblique and bottom upwards with the
view ol making them conspscuous. Each sub
sequent Advertiser wishes his matter displayed
more than the preceding one, and newspaper
proprietors have encouraged the style until their
papers look like mamoth circus-show-bills on
which one or two elephants cover the whole gable
end of a warehouse. The sheet presents a con
fused, jumbled appearance in which you can find
nothing desired, and we think entirely fails to an
swer the purpose designed by the advertiser, and
costs him more money. For instance let any
advertiser pick up one of those papers which
carries out the style, with the view of seeing his
ewn, or any particular advertisement which he
might wish to read, and he will fail to find it
without considerable trouble and close observa
tion, unless it be by an accident. We think a
plain, neat and compact style far more conspicuous
and desire very much to adopt it in this paper,
if it should strike the fancy of our advertising
patrons.
Southern Female College.
Notice in this paper the Advertisement of this
worthy and popular Institution located in La
Grange. Its merits place it among the very first
literary Female Colleges in the whole southern
country, and the large patronage which it annu
ally receives, is a sure confirmation of the high
esteem in which it is held by the public. Its
present|Proprietors are amiable and talented gen
tlemen, and the College under their control is
yearly winning public confidence to a still greater
extent, its prospects tor the current year being,
as we are reliably informed, more promising than
they have been for several years preceding.
Eternity. —“ Eternity has no gray hairs!”
The flowers lade, the heart withers, man grows
old and dies, the world lies down in the sepulchre
of ages; but time writes no wrinkles on the brow
of eternity.
Eternity! Stupendous thought! The event
present, unborn, undecaying and undying, the
endless chain, compassing the file of God, the
golden thread, entwining the destinies ot the uni
verse.
Earth has its beauties ; but time shrouds them
for the grave; its honors they are but the sun
shine of an hour; its palaces, they are but as the
gilded sepulchres ; its possessions, they are toys
of changing fortune ; its pleasures, they are but
bursting bubbles. Not so in the untired bou>ne.
In the dwelling ol the Almighty can come no
footsteps of decay. Its day will know no dark
ening ; eternal splendors forbid the approach of
night. Its fountains will never fail; they are
fresh from the eternal throne. Its glory will ne
ver wane, for there is the ever present God. Its
harmonies will never cease; exhaustless love
supplies the song.
The best of men have ever loved repose;
They hate to mingle in the filthy fray,
Where the soul sours, and gradual rancor groi%p
Embittered more from peevish day to day.
Even those whom Fame has lent her fairest ray,
The most renowned of worthy wights of yore,
From a base world at last have stolen away.
So Scipio, to the soft Cumtean shore
Retiring, tasted joy he never knew before.
— Thomson.
Your heads must come
To the cold tomb ;
Only the actions of the just
Smell sweet, and blossom in the dust!

Show me the man who would go to Heaven
alone if he could, and in that man I will show you
one that will never be admitted int* Heaven.— I
Archbishop Fellham
New Music.
We return Mr. J. J. Richards & Cos. many
thanks for the compliment of five pieces of new
music, which, from a slight glance at them, to
gether with their titles, we should judge to be
exquisite; but we have not had the time to run
over them. The names of the pieces are as fol
lows: “My loved one and my own,” by S. G.
Forster; “Bonny Jean,” by Charles Osborne;
“Star of my Home,” beautiful words by Eliza
Cook, and music by J. R. Thomas; “Oh! don’t
you remember the time,” by J. R. T. These
four are ballads; the fifth piece is a Polka called
“Spring Carol Polka.”
Prof. Wm, A Harris.
We are more than gratified at seeing it an
nounced in the public prints that this gentleman
has Deen elected President of the La Grange
Female College, to fill the vacancy caused by the
resignation of Dr. Wm. J. Sasnett. Prof. Har
ris is a ripe scholar, an energetic teacher, and in
taste, disposition and judgement is admirably fit
ted for presiding over a literary institution. No
better selection could have been made in the
State, for he combines in his character all the es
sential elements requisite to discharge with suc
cess the duties cf the position assigned him.
Knowing as we do the man and his abilities we
most heartily endorse his promotion to the Presi
dential chair of so important an institution. We
take the following notice of his election and the
college from the La Grange Reporter :
The. Trustees of this College on Saturday, last,
met at Columbus and elected Wm. A. Harris,
Esq., President of the Institution, to fill* the va
cancy caused by the resignation of President Sas
nett.
To the friends of the Institution abroad, we
take the utmost pleasure in assuring them that
its interests are safe in the hands of Mr. H. as
sisted, as no doubt he will be to the fullest ex
tent of their ability, by Rev. J. R. Mayson and
J. W. Akers, Esq. In fact, if we are not mis
taken, the burden of the institution has been
borne by them entirely since it has fell into the
hands of the Conference. The salaries of each of
these gentlemen have been equalized ; and, con
sequently, there is no distinction in their posi
tions pecuniarily. This is as it should be as all
three of them are worthy and efficient teachers,
and will exert every energy for the promotion ol
the school.
The school is now certainly, we trust, perma
nently organized w ith a faculty who are young
and efficient, and have their reputations to build
up; and of course nothing will be left undone to
promote the interests of all concerned.
‘ Brown wood Institute.
We are also happy to learn that Prof. Johns
formerly of Tuskeegee, Ala. has taken charge of
Brownwood, near La Grange. He is a most ex
cellent gentleman and enjoys an enviable reputa
tion as a teacher, having taught with eminent
success for the pastthii teen years. Weare much
gratified at his locating himself in Georgia, and
so near us as La Grange. The following com
plimentary notice of him is from the Tuskeegee
Republican. -
We understand that our esteemed friend and
fellow-townsman, Mr. Wm. Johns, has assumed
the responsible position of Principal and Proprie
tor of Brownwood Institute, near La Grange, Ga.
While we regret to lose Mr. Johns from our com
munity, we congratulate the people of La Grange
on their good fortune in securing his valuable
services. From his long experience in teaching
“the young idea how to shoot,” we feel confi
dent that he will give entire satisfaction. We
wish him every success.
The stars are with the voyager
Wherever he may sail;
The moon is constant to her time;
The sun will never fail,
But follow, follow round the world,
The green earth and the sea ;
So love is with the lover’s heart,
Wherever he may be. — Hood.
It is not enough to believe what you maintain
—you must maintain what you believe, and main
tain it because you believe it. —Archbishop Whate
ley.
I am persuaded that my death, which is now just
coming, will conduct me into the presence of the
Gods, who are themost righteous governors, and
into the society of just and good men ; and I de
rive confidence from the hope that something of
man remains after death, and that the condition
of good men will then be much better than that
of the bad.— Socratees.
Nature has sometimes made a fool; but a cox
comb IS always ofman’s own making.—Addison.
In public oratory words would seem to take a
tar higher rank than ideas. You hear many a
mute inglorious Demosthenes, stuttering to ex
press himself, say that he was “at a loss for
words but you never heard any one yet —not
even a vestryman—who had the honesty to ex
cuse himself by saying that “he really was at a
loss for ideas.”
Lull’d in the countless chambers of the brain,
Our thoughts are linked by many a hidden chain;
Awake hut one, and 10, what myriads rise!
Each stamps its image as the other flies.
— Rogers.
Only Tight. —“ How flourished, how weak he
is ! What is the matter with him 1”
“ Only tight.”
“Tight?”
“Only tight.” Man’s best and greatest gift,
his intellect degraded ; the only power that raises
him from brute creation trodden down under the
foot of a debasing appetite.
“Only tight,” the mother stands with pale face
and tear-dimmed eye to see her'only son’s dis
grace, and in her fancy pictures the bitter woe of
which this is the foreshadowing.
“Only tight,” the gentle sister whose strongest
love through life has been given to her handsome
and talented brother, shrinks with contempt and
disgust from his embrace, and brushes away the
hot impure kiss he prints upon her cheek.
“Only tight,” and his young bride stops in the
glad dance she ismaking to meet him, and checks
the welcome on her lips to gaqe in terror on the
reeling form and flushed face of him who was the
god of her idolatry.
“Only tight,” and the father’s face grows dark
and sad as with a bitter sigh he stoops over the
sleeping iorm of his first born.
He has wrought sorrow to all these affectionate
hearts ; he has opened the door to a fatal indul
gence ; he has brought himself down to a level
with the brutes ; he has tasted, exciting the ap
petite to crave the poisonous draught again; he
has fallen from high and noble manhood, to bab
bling idiocy, and heavy stupor ; brought grief to
his mother, distrust to his sister, almost despair
to his bride, and bowed his father’s head with
sorrow, but blame him not,forheis “onlytihgt.”
The following complimentary notice of this pa
per, by “A Citizen,” is truly encouraging, and
when we consider the high source whence it em
anates, it rather excites our vanity:
[communicated.]
The Crusader.
This excellent paper is now a bright star in the
moral heavens of Atlanta—a beaming light shed
ding the rays of peace and love over our-hills and
our valleys, ringing with the joyful notes of in
dustry. Welcome, sweet messenger, thrice wel
come ! Thou hast chosen the heart of Georgia
for the seat of thy tmkingly throne; and here
may’est thou long reign triumphant, diffusing
light, life, vigor and beauty throughout the “Em
pire State of the South,” lending a gentle influ
ence “to the ends of the earth.”
The Crusader commends itself from its intrin
sic merit, and from the fact that it hails from the
most favorable p®int for general news in the
State. It will, indeed, bean ornament to our city,
and the pride of all Georgia. The spirits who
rule the warfare of this crusade, Are of the genu
ine stamp —not to be conqnered by the rage of
evil-doers, nor won by the rattle of gold and
silver.
The manly pride and acuteness of Reynolds,
the firmness and profundity of Veazey, the ge
nial sentiment and lively wit of “friend Seals,”
and the lofty genius of Mrs. Bryan, all conspire
to elevate their paper to a high standard of jour
nalism, Und will secure for it the favor of all true
lovers of the useful, the. beautiful and good. It
certainly will give an impetus to our moral and
social advancement, and therefore should be lib
erally sustained by our citizens, as no doubt it
will be. Asa medium for advertising, it is sec
ond to no paper, as it has a very large circulation,
and is read by thousands of families who never
see the political newspapers of the day. A word
to the wise, on this score, is sufficient. Adver
tise in this as well as the other papers of your city,
and you have your business published to the peo
ple generally in the city, and throughout the
whole county; and whilst you thus benefit your
selves, you encourage and maintain decidedly the
best family newspaper in Georgia. !
* A CITIZEN. !
LOCAL.
Everybody seems to be moving toAtlanta; the
only question among the people is, who will get
here first and secure the houses.
Last Monday week was the twelfth consecutive
rainy Monday we have had in this section. The
streets ol our eity are some considerable for-mud,
after a day’s rain ; but they soon dry.
Our morning fogs, here, are almost as dense as
those of London.
Christmas, here, is a merry time among coun
try people. Many a Roman Candle was fired off,
many a sky-rocket sent up, not quite to the sky>
and many a fire-cracker was popped; but we
heard of no one’s cranium being cracked, and saw
but few drunken men. We saw one unfortunate
fellow with such a load ot“ jurisprudence’ ’ aboard,
that it required a couple of Policemen to help him
carry it.
An old gentleman, in his buggy, driving a mule
down the street, a few days since, got out and
tried to lead his animal to one side, but was
stubborn and wouldn’t come. The old gentle
man stepped ofl and picked up a rock, with which
he touched muly about ihc bur of the ear, and it
“brung him in.”
An oxen, hitched to a cart, in crossing the rail
road below our office, several days ago, slipped
and fell across the track; but his fall was not
like Lucifer’s, for he arose and come again, be
fore the train reached him.
There is immense travelling Westward through
this city: the trains on the State Road with from
four to six passenger boxes, all filled, pass up
every morning.
The Young Men’s Christian Association room
and library is in the same building with our of
fice, and the same passage leads to both. We
are pleased to have such a neighbor. The Asso
ciation, we trust, is doing well. There is quite
a climax in that end of the building: the base
ment is a bar-room and billiard saloon ; the next
floor is the city post office, and the third story is
the Christian Association Room.
Atlanta is now well supplied with printing of
fices, and it has, lor sometime past, supported
two excellent political papers. The “Intelligen
cer” and “ National American” are both edited
with marked ability, and the editors and proprie
tors of each, are kind, obliging and gentlemanly
men. Persons abroad wishing to take a political
paper from this part of the country, should sub
scribe for the Intelligencer or American ; the for
mer is democratic, and the latter American, in
politics.
This city is by far the best and cheapest provi
sion market in the State. Everything an epicu
rean fancy might suggest can here be obtained
in abundance, and even a Heliogabalus himself
could find enough to satisfy his glutton appetite,
if he had plenty of cash. Butter and eggs are the
only commodities which are unreasonably high
in price, and we regret it exceedingly, as it re
quires just six large pullet eggs at a meal, boiled
just minutes apiece, to set us a crowing. But
“chickenfruit” must come down before we can
relish it.
The morals of Atlanta, we honestly believe,
are unsurpassed by any city of the same size in
the State. We have, an abundance of “lick-logs”
here, it is true; but with all this, and with so
mixed a population, the amount of crime perpe
trated is far less than in any city of the State.
Drunken men are seldom seen here. We have
been in the city some three weeks, and up to
Christmas, saw but one drunken character. One
poor old man lost his rudder and keeled over in
the muddy street, scattering the contents of a tin
bucket around promiscuously ; and even he said
he “slipped down” But he was really over
loaded with “Cliattacanoy,” and no mistake.
Our Police officers are very efficient, active and
dilige'nt in detecting and suppressing crime of all
kinds, and they deserve the highest commenda
tion for their faithfulness.
Some of the small boys coming on in this city
are rather hard s nuts. A stranger wandering
down the street without a Cicerone, accosted one
of them with the inquiry: “Little boy, can jou
tell me where old Madam Peter Teezle resides?”
“See here!” says little tallow face shaver, “don’t
you call me ‘boy?’ I’ve chewed tobacco and
drank whisky these three years!”
The democratic party have nominated Luther
J. Glenn, Esq. present Mayor of the city, for re
election to that office. For Councilmen, Tlios.
G. Healy, Thomas Haney, James L. Dunning,
Wm. Watkins, Jas. M. Blackwell, Coleman F.
Wood, Alex. M. Wallace, Thomas R. Ripley,
Dr. Bartley M. Smith, Cyrus H. Wallace.
The American Party will meet in the City
Hall on Monday night, to nominate opposition
candidates.
There was a brilliant, select and appreciative
audience at the Grand Concert of M. Strakosch,
on Wednesday night last, and the performance
was unique and exquisite. We would like to ex
patiate on the grand galaxy of world renowned
vocalists with which they captivated the people
of our community ; but it cost us two dollars for
the privilege of saying thus much, and can’t af
ford anything more.
We deeply regret the sudden misfortune which
our very worthy and enterprising citizen, Mr.
W. Herring, sustained, on Wednesday night last,
in the burning of his large and beautiful residence.
The fire originated in his kitchen, was communi
cated to his dwelling, and had rapidly advanced
in its consummation, before the engines began to
play on it. The Fire Companies, from what we
learn, deserve the greatest praise for their energy
and Herculean exertions on the occasion. Mr.
Herring, we believe, was insured to the amount
of $2500; his property was valued at SSOOO.
The paving of the side-walk in front of Messrs.
Beach & Root and McArthur &, Wadsworth’s
large new buildings on Whitehall street, has been
subjected to a general improving renovation,
which helps wonderfully. Wish many places .in
the pavements of both side-walks on that street
could be visited by the same renovating spirit.
Our Editress, Mrs. M. E. Bryan, has arrived
in Atlanta, and for the current year will be a cit
izen. We bespeak for her a welcome by the
people generally, and especially the ladies. Her
genius as a writer, is universally applauded by
all who read her productions, and we must in
sist upon the ladies and gentlemen of Atlanta,
giving her editorials an attentive perusal; also,
those oi our Associate Editor, Mr. L. L. Veazey.
Great injustice is done Atlanta in the impres
sions which are made upon the minds of strangers
who simply pass through, for they see nothing
but smoke and confusion about the depots, and
hear nothing but steam engines and steam whis
tles, which make passengers think that it is a
dirty, filthy, Hottentot place, where every man is
propelled by steam, and that a stranger will be
run over rough-shod and crushed ; but it is a
broad mistake, and nothing is necessary to cor
rect the impression, but a few day’s sojourn
among the people here ; and we venture our bea
ver-hat, that those whs are most bitter in their
denunciations of Atlanta, would become the
warmest admirers ot it, should they spend time
enough in the city to become acquainted with its
citizens. All who live here awhile leave it with
the greatest reluctance. Avery intelligent lady
residing in one of the South-western counties of
this State, in writing to us a few days since, thus
speaks in regard to the moral feature of this city:
“In regard to morals, I think Atlanta lias not
been treated fairly, for in < two visits there last
summer, and one of them ’ I sat an hour at mid
night in silence, watching the coming in and go
ing out of several trains of cars from every point,
and amid the confusion of hundreds of voices
changing cars, baggage, &c. 1 did not hear an
oath or harsh word. This, I thought wonderful
in any collection of careless men at that season of
the night.”
The following gentlemen were, on Saturday
night last, elected officers of Atlanta Lodge, K.
of J., No. 1, for the ensuing term:
F. P. Perdue, W. C.; J. N. Langston, V. C.;
W. R. Hanleiter, R.; W. G. Forsyth, TANARUS.: E.

Crime and its Culture.
In no civililized country within the precints of
Christendom is crime dealt with so tenderly and
compassionately as in the United States. We
cherish and nourish it as if it were a rare and
delicate plant, which would inevitaoly die unless
it were kept from perishing by the fondest care.
If is so guarded at all points by the laws, which
presume every thing in favor of innocence, and
insist on the strictest construction in defence of
guilt, that the chances ate as a hundred to one
against conviction. The moment is
made, a countless number of agencies arid liinu
enciesare set in motion, all of which tend to the
protection and acquittal of the accused, who is
regarded as a pitiable victim, to be rescued by any
possible means and at all risks for the inhuman
persecution of police officers and magistrates.
Society, strange enough, takes sides with the
criminal against itself. Justice, in the persons
of its ministers, is held to be a sort of monster,
whose hand is againgt every man, and against
whom, therefore, all men’s hands should be
raised in united opposition. The prosecuting at
torney as he defends the cause of the common
wealth, is looked upon as little better than a san
guinary ruffian, whose sole business.it is to take
away the liberty or the life of the citizen, while
the Judges are considered to be confederates with
him in an atrocious conspiracy against every
body’s natural rights and privileges.
All the resources of forensic skill and eloquence
are employed in behalf of the prisoner in the
dock; and, in spite of the most convincing evi
dence of his guilt, he speedily becomes the centre
of a host of sympathisers, which even invade the
jury box, and intimidate, if they do not corrupt
the stern impartiality of the Bench. It is really
wonderful to behold how much earnest zeal is en
listed in the interest of the basest and blackest of
offenders, and we cannot help frequently asking
ourselves, how it is possible that gentlemen of
admitted intelligence and virtue can reconcile it
to their consciences to become—not simply the
legal counsel of a murderer in so far as their
learning may be necessary to secure him a fair
trial—but the very advocates of crime, in their
excessive solicitude and super-serviceable efforts
to exculpate the most detestable of criminals, ill
the face of the clearest proofs of guilt. It was
only a few days ago that we read an anecdote of
Mr. Rufus Choate, in which ihat eminent orator
and lawyer was represented as exclaiming, in
reference to a brutal fellow who had just been
seized on the charge of having perpetrated a
frightful homicide—“ What! a man with his
hands dripping with blood, and no money— the
case is, indeed, desperate.” Here is a volume in
a sentence. It tells us that crime, if it have gold
enough, may purchase impunity— it tells us how
the greatest professional learning and talents may
be prostituted in defense of the bloodiest man
slayer, if he have wealth enough to fee the advo
cate.
The remarks to which we have been coming
is this, that under the false sympathy of the pub
lic, the dishonesty and weakness of juries, the
timidity of judges, and the mercenary zeal of
counsel, crime has been growing in amount, in
boldness, and in enormity, until there seems to be
a chance of a wholesome reaction, by stress of
sheer alarm, in favor of law, and justice and or
der. The people of Baltimore are just now in
the act of dealing out summary vengeance to a
set of savage rascals who have long outraged
their patience, and we find in the remarks of
Judge Price, made at Elkton, (Md.,) a few days
since, when sentencing four young men convicted
of burglary and larceny, an evidence that the ju
dicial mind in some quarters of our land, at least,
is getting tired of petting and fondling rogues and
rascals. —Philadelphia Evening Journal.
TOUGH YA.msrS.
As the editors of the Crusader nose “right
smart,” themselves, they are qualified by nature
to appreciate a good hit at that protruding mem
ber, especially when the lick is aimed at another’s
smeller. The following from the Cincinnati Ga
zette, by an old lady, is pretty sharp:
On Saturday two young ladies, very genteelly
dressed, were riding along Filth Street in a ’bus.
One of them, whose features were more remark
able for an excessive prominence of nose than
anything else, exhibited to the other a daguerreo
type of herself, which she said had just been ta
ken down town, and they were engaged in dis
cussing its merits, when an elderly lady got into
the ’bus at the corner of Elm and Fifth. She
was evidently one of those inquisitive yet good
natured souls, who take a deal of innocent liberty
in the world, without thinking any harm. After
riding a square or so, she reached out her hand,
and said to the lady with the picture: “Please
let me look at it.” Her modest request was met
with an indignant frown, and the reply, as the
case was returned to the lady ’s pocket, “It’s none
of your business.”
The old lady settled back in her seat very com
placently, when the companion of the one with
the picture asked: “What do you wish to do
with it ?” “Oh, nothing,” replied the old lady,
“I only wanted to see Itow successfully the ar
tist has put such a nose on so small a plate!”
The omnibus was full, and the shout of laugh
ter which followed the retort could have been
heard a full square. The lady with the daguer
reotype covered her face with her veil, and dropl
the subject during the remainder of the ride.
An enterprising travelling agent Irom a well
known Cleveland tomb stone manufactory, lately
made a business visit to a small town in an ad
joining county. Hearing, in the village, that a
man, in the remote part of the township, had lost
his wife, he thought he would go and see him,
and offer him his consolation, and a grave-stone,
on his usual reasonable terms. He started. The
road was a horribly frightful one; but the agent
persevered, and finally arrived at the bereaved
man’s house. Bereaved man’s hired girl told the
agent that the bereaved man was splitting fence
rails “over in the pastur’, about two miles.”
The indefatigable agent hitched his horse and
started for the “pastur.” And after falling into
all manner of mud-holes, scratching himself with
briers, and tumbling over decayed logs, the agent
at length found the bereaved man.
In a subdued voice he asked the man if he had
lost his wife. The man said he had. The agent
was very sorry to hear of it, and sympathised
with the man very deeply in his great affliction ;
but death, he said, was an insatiate archer, and
shot down all of both high and low degree. In
formed the man that “what was his loss was her
gain,” and would be glad to sell him a grave
stone to mark the spot where the beloved one
slept—marble or common stone, as he chose, at
prices defying competition. The bereaved man
said there was “a little difficulty in the way.”
“Haven’t you lost your wife?” inquired the
agent. “Why, yes, I have,” said the man;
“but no grave stun ain’t necessary, for you see
the cussed critter ain’t dead. She's scooted with
another man!” The agent retired.
A modest young gentleman at a dinner part y
put the following conundrum: “Why are most
people who eat turkey, like babies ?” No reply.
The modest man blushed, and would have backed
out, but finally gave this reason : “Because they
are fond of the breast.” Two middle-aged la
dies fainted, and the remains of the modest man
were carried out by the coroner.
Howell Paul, in his “Patchwork,” tells the fol
lowing good story of an old darkey who was en
deavoring to explain his unfortunate condition :
“You see,” remarked Sambo, “it was in disway
as how it was—leastwise as far as I can ’mem
ber. Fust, my fader died, and den my mudder
married agin, and den my mudder died and my
fader married agin, and somehow I doesn’t seem
to hnb no parents at all, nor no home nor no
thin’.”
