BKKATAR HTI.T<.
The people of Georgia, through their
representatives,' have chosen Hon. Benja
min H. Hill as Senator in the Congress of
the United States for six years from the
fourth day of Match next. When Georgia's
voice has been heard the preferences of in-
must be put aside. We were net
of those who saw nothing in the political
treasury of the commonwealth but the
glittering abilities of Mr. Hill, but , vpt
thought and continue to think that there
are other sons of so noble a mother 'who
eowld hgve las. honorably and as profita
bly have served ber in this crisis.
It has resulted differently and Mr. Hill
has been chosen to that high position so
long coveted by him. We shall shed’ no
.tears over the fact of our preference being
overridden, and shout no laudations because
the new sun has risen, ye will say here'
and how 4hat itr. Hitl's -geniuS and abili
ties have always had sincere admiration
from us, and that we ha\ e never denied
that he could bring his patriotism end tal
ents lo prbud achievements r Shtfd,
eountry.
We congratulate him upon the victory
he ha* won. He ha* heaven rqen
worthy of* his steel, an3 to whom defeat
' brings no shame or degradation.
He has bounded into a field of uaeful
, Bess where all hi* powSrs will ftntf play
and where every spark of his patriotism
may help to illumine the pathway of the
ship of State. He has reached' the pinna
cle from which fame may be courted in
her most roseate realm, where thunders,
may be hurled down in terrible destruc
tion on bis people’s enemies. He has en
larged his audience and mtpst now face the
world. We trust he may become a greater
1 victor than ever, and wear the garlands of
duty well done anu patriotism successfully
vindicated. We ground arms and extend
to him the right hawd -ex
ponent who never quailed and never
rested while the conflict continued.
In his labors for Georgia and
the Union, we shall fight as gallantly and
as unreservedly upon his side henceforward.
May he, then, lead in his country’s cause,
where traitor* and scoundrels are the ene
mies, and where every victory Won is
greater than a city taken and sacked. May
he magnificently illustrate tee “Wisdom,
Justice and Moderation” of tee State; the
truth, patriotism a'id chivalry of her peo
ple!

Arm*, Indeed.
It it our great pleasure to bring to the at
tention of the people of the Southern State*
the “ Grand Union Hotel,” in the dty of
New York. It is undoubtedly the cleanest
and best kept hotel in that city, and while
everything is of the very best, the chargee
are well adapted to suit the most economi
cally inclined traveler. The hotel being
situated nearlyopposite the Grand Central
Depot, it saves the guests expensive carriage
and express hire, as they deliver your bag
gage to your room free of etpense.
Its 350 elegantly furnished rooms, to
gether with the constant attention and gen
tlemanly deportment of Mr. Win. D. Garri
son, the proprietor, whose well known kind
and warm feeling towards tee Southern
people is worthy of reciprocation, makes
the Grand Union a hotne comfort rarely to
be met with.
From our personal experience ware en
abled to call the attention of the Southern
people who contemplate visiting New York
not to foil to gift (he “Grand Union” a
trial. jan*7-tfj|
