HOME AFFAIRS
Davidson Monthly.— We have received from
our talented young townsman Mr. Henry Dodge,
the prospectus of the above periodical, lo be ed
‘ I ted and published by the students of Davidson
College N, G.
The terms are $2.00 per annum, and clubs of
six are supplied at SIO.OO am! 12 at SIB,OO.
The first number will be issued in January.
We Shalt be happy to aid in upholding this
meritorious enterprise, and will receive and for
ward any subscriptions left at this office.
Such enterprises are offtimes the cradles of
incipient genius, which afterwards ripens into a
full maturity of usefulness.
We bid our young friends good speed in
their effort.
- gratefully' acknowledge the reception of
a complimentary ticket to (he Baptist Fair held
at Eutaula on the 15th, inst, from the excellent
pastor of the church, Rev. B. W. Wharton.
The object of the undertaking to supple
ment the efforts of the building committee to
raise a fund for the completion of their new
church. We only regret that this issue of ou r
paper comes too late to render the good cause
auy service, while obligations of a pressing and
peculiar nature prevented our own attendance.
That the laudable enterprise in which this
worthy pastor and his people are eDgaged may
succeed, is onr earnest hope.
Personal.—We were pleased to receive a vis
it on Tuesday from Judge William Schley, who
presides over the Eastern Circuit of Georgia.
The Judge, as the successor of the uoble and
veteran Fleming had no easy task to perform.
His decisions however, and the urbanity and
courtesy of bis demeanor, have already disarmed'
any quasi opposition wbich might have existed"
and he is now equally esteemed as a gentleman
and able jurist.
Judge Schley has a large interest in the man
ufacture of a domestic fertilizer near Savannah,
which is rapidly growing in public estimation.
A number of out most successful planters have
-thoroughly tested and endorse this preparation-'
We hope soon to give to the public, full: particu
lars relating to the same.

A Model Parlor Magazine.-- For beauty of

both Mr. and Mme. Dumorost. The rich display
of novelties offered in Dernorest's Monthly would
seem to be enough to secure.a circulation suffi
cient to satisfy its publishers, but in addition we
see they propose to give a very large and tine

The Engraving aloue would make a very ap

Conference Anecdote. —It is well known
that the clerical host of the itinerating army of
Zion which lately made a descent upon us, was
sorely put to it to know where to bestow some of
the tardy, but faithful champions who uppeared
hwt upon the scene.
la-faot^didashments were quartered in every
dwelling, and not a few billeted even iu the
country for miles -around.
Oner night at a late hour, our ministerin'
fieiid Wiio did the honors of the occasion, was
•ummoned from his fireside by the intelligence
that ‘‘another delegate" had arrived.
Blank and crestfallen, not knowing where to
assign the brother, he went to the gate utterly at
a loss what to do. Judge of _the extreme sur
prise of the disconsolate parson. when the much
dreaded guest after enjoying bis confusion for a
mome'nt, pulled fbrtb from beneath the seat of
his buggy a magnificent turkey gobbler, and ask
ed where this'delegate could be accommodated.
The transition from gloomy perplexity to joy,
«m'depicted in the countenance of ibis good man,
was truly refreshing.
It is surfhise.d that he is entrenched more firm
ly than ever in the belief of an over ruling
'Providence, and thinks a christmuss on thanks
giving turkey, will never he wanting on the poor
ministers ta'bie.
Who will take the hint and see that such is
eVnr the Case ? *'
Deeds like that carry with them their own re.

Thrilling and j&omaniic Story-
The Paris, correspompat of the New
Orleans Tribute relates the following :
In the*month of August, 1863, the
French ship Adeline Eliza quitted Bor
deaux for Hong Kong® A tnorith af
terward she was spoken off Cape of
Good Hope. She was never heard of
again until, a few days since, iter his
tory and the history of all her crew .be
canie public. A typhoon iu tbe Indian
ocean threw her out of her course, dis
masted her, broke her rudder, and tossed
her toward OceaDica. ' Bud weather
lasted thirty days, and when fair .weath
er returned, she struck upon a coral
reef, and the exhausted crew were
scarcely abje>%take refugeiu the boats
11 was a moonless, starless night w hen
this accident occurred. They rowed
wildly, and thauked God when the
breaking day showed them a harbor,
sourrounded by a charming landscape.
They reached land and laid down to
sleep. When they awoke they found
themselves bound hand and foot, and
surrounded by savages. Their captors
pVoved to be cannibals. Eleven of them,
their captain included, were slain and
eaten. Three others contrived (how,
does not appear) to make their escape,
but they were mutilated. The one who
succeeded in reaching Europe has one
arm cut off and one eye torn out.
The three reached a ito part of
the island, where they found a canoe
and embarked in it, preferring the risk
of being devoured by sharks.to life cer
tainty of being killed aod eaten,by can
nibals Fortunately they found them
selves in an archipelago; and were able
to go easily from one island to another.
After wandering for some moving
as rapidly as possible away from the
cannibals’ home, George Samuzon’s
two-companions died ol exhaustion.
Be remained alone, mutilated, hope
less, upon a frail canoe. Be neverthe

to .get water and food He* ate shell

last island of the group, and nothing
lay before him but the wide ocean. Re
set to work to build a raft. It took him*
a year. He launched it. The waves
threw it back on the island. lie seve
ral times tried to put it to sea, but con
stantly failed, lie resolved to turn his

direction from the caunibals’ home.
Lie climed a mountain, crossed a desert,

venomous insects; at last, Dearer
dead than alive, he 'came upon white

and had eroßsed South America on foot.
The white men received him kindly, atid
did what they could for him. He em

at last reached Europe. His family bad

Our Wareliou.333—Duty of Plan
ters, etc-
While wandering to and fro in quest
of items, we thought of looking. into one
of our cotton warehouses, with the hope
of finding anew idea to help out a para
graph, and we soon saw enough irf the
one visited to induce a visit to aU the
others. We bad a general idea that
cotton was a considerable sort of a thing,
which came in and went out of town in
a rough and tumble kind of way, atten
ded with pretty smart excitement, physi
cally and financially, and wo were as
pleased as surprised to see how quiet
the “elephant" looked on a nearer ap*
proach. We did not ask many ques
tion-', but kept our/?yes unbatled, and
were struck with tho order and regulari
ty with which- bale- ester hide isrolksd ip.
weighed, marked and numbered, and fi
nally deposited in its proper plane, with
pretty much the same cine that men of
business store away valuable property.
On the other hand, it goes out with the
same precision to tbe boat or railroad
as the.case'-may be. We came away
from our survey with two Ideas, which,
being too heavy for the cranium of our
Local, we proceed to raise the safety
valve at once. T'yu first is, that the
warehouse men manage the storage Inis
int'ss decidedly well. The second is,
that the warehouses are just the place
for all the cotton 1h the Country. We
dime to theiast conclusion by hearing of
the numerous fires around about the
country ; from the fact that cotton on
can with:difficulty be insured,
and from tbe conviction that our plan
ters can ill afford to ruu the risk of
keeping their -cotton at home. We
would earnestly advise, from motives
of sifety, that all cotton be sent for
ward as scion as it is baled, and also
tliat it be placed tinder insurance.—
We would remind planters of the se
rious losses suffered by them, as well,
as rdl classes of onr community, in trie
burning of uf:insured cotton in the
Planters’ Warehouse about four years
ago-. The cotton can be easily and
cheaply insured in. town, and if a loss
should* come, the insurance companies
can best afford to lose tho money.---
Being a friend to the planter, the mer
chant, 'the warehouse nSeft, as well as
the insurance agents, we throw out
these suggestibns for What thoy are
worth.-*- Col. Eng.
or Ye local of the Augusta Ghron
icle aud Sentinel gives nfi instance of
the strength of prevjndice, which is
.deserving bf being reproduced. “On
Sunday last,” says ye local, “twenty
three colored persons of this city were
baptized in the Savannah river. Du
ring the performance of the rite a gen
tle rain was falling, and the candidates
for immersion, as th y were suceesSive
jy, presented to the preacher for bap
tism, were sheltered under umbrellas
borne by some of the “breoeren.” This"
struck a friend.of ours as being some
what novel, in as much as they were so
soon to be thoroughly, saturated with
the element. To solve the problem he
queried a saintly colored sister as to
why the umbrellas were used, and re
ceived in reply : “Coz, we don’t b lieb

The Georgia Cass.
Ti|e Senate Judiciary Committee had
up tne Geogia case to day, but came to
no conclusion. .The committee fiud a
good deal of difficulty in the matter of
setting aside the act of Legislation
which have intervened since tire State
was formally admitted to Congress.—
This would have to- be done, it is
thought', in carrying out the suggestions
of the President’s message relative to
Georgia.— y. Y. Herald.
Moreover, there is outside clamor
and alarilt. The business ahd financial
men of the North don’t like this high
handed dealing with a State which is
contrib’utiag so much to Northern trade
and national recuperation. They say
we are* industrious and pay our debts,
and those tales about terrorism and dis
order are contradicted by their ovVn ad
vices, and are wholly inconsistent with
the industrial condition of Georgia, as
they know it to be. So that, after ali,
it is possible sufficient time may elapse
for the Legislature to meet and show
its band"before Congress comes down
on Georgia.
Now these are the ideas of the situa
tion of Georgia, in Washington, as we
are able to obtain them from correspon
dence. These are tbo ideas of the dan
ger of Congressional interference and
ith practical results upon the interests of
tho State, which are current among our
friends in that quarter.
A'review of them will suggest* the
whuie argument as to tbe course the
Legislature of Georgia ought to pursue
at once, if they have the opportunity,
ffcme of the Democratic papers in this
State are saying that they prefer Cbn
groseiotiufl interference rather than the
Legislature should attempt to conciliate
Congress by reseating the negro. We
have only to conVider what must inevita
bly follow Congressional interference to
be amazed beyond expression at such a
preference ; but it is one in which the Worst
enemies of Georgia will go with them heart
and hand !
Tho case, indeed, lies in a nut-shell.—
If Georgia reseat ibese negroes, (Con
gross accented the act,) Georgia then
escaped alt the hard conditions of the
punitive legislation now proposed and
certain to be inflicted in case of otfr re
fusal. But if Congress reseats these ne
groes, she does it with the application
of the - test oath purges— with the annul
ling of all previous political legislation
—with the negro mjltia bill—and With
all the provisions -for compelling submis
sion to hostile legislation 'from an unwil
ling people. In the other case the peo
ple will still hold some control of their
State. In the other, it will be turned
over entirely to the wretched faction
win* are trying to put it it! their pockets.
It i5 impossible that a sensible people
should hesitate one moment which of
the two alternatives to choose.
It has been urged that if you reseat
the negroes the fifteenth amendment
will pass. That is not so certain; but
if tbo negroes are not reseated by Geor
gia the passage of the.fifteenth amend
ment is sure beyond contingency. So,
also, Is the accomplishment of every ill
which can be possibly apprehend from
tho reseating of the negroes by the
Legislature, and much more besides.—
Under these circumstances there ought
to be no reasonabl doubt of what should
be the demands of a sound and safe
statesmanship in this critical condition
of our affairs— Telegraph & Messenger.
Marriage Contracts.
Judge Barnard’s dicision in the Bis
sell case, that the acknowledgment of a
woman as a wife Was a valid marriage
contract, has called forth the following
interesting facts :
Il> Pennsylvania any kind of a con
tract to live together between man and
wife has been hold to constitute a. -viffid
marriage. The same law has always
prevailed in Scotland; but not in Eng
land r.r prelaw*, ft is, however, a singu
lar fact that, although in England mar
riage is celebrated as a civil
the question has long remained undeci
ded. Are the ceremonies and forms, or
ony of them which are indicated by law
or are customarily used for the solemni
zation of marriage indespensablc, is the
rifere consent tho parties sufficient !' That
precise question came belore the Court
of the Queen’s Bench iq Ireland, npo.na
trial for bigamy, where the defen dWfc
was found guilty ; and then the first of'
the marriages not having been solemn
ized according to the direction, if hit
requirement of law, the question arose
w hether it was so complete and perfect
to make the crime of bigamy possible.
The four judges of tho Court wefe
equally divided, but the case was ap
pealed to the House of Lords, before
whom the question of the validity of
the marriage by mere consent was fully
argued by the ablest counsel in Eng
land, and the six law peers gave their j
opinions at great length. Strange to
say there was an equal division among
them also—-Lords Brougham, Denman
and Campbell being in favor of the va
-iidity, and. Lords Lvndhurst, Gotten
ham and Abingcr.against it. Thus, as
the House Lords caifve to no conclu
sion, the judgment of the Irish Court of
Queen's Bench was not reversed, and
the defendant was sentenced according
ly. About the same time the same
question came before the United States
Supreme Court, and another curious
coincidence occurred. Chief Justice
Taney, in deciding thb c3se (on other
grounds) said : “Upon this the Court is
equally divided, and no opinion can be
given.” Chancellor Eeht, i?i the latest
edition of his Commentaries* left the
question in absolute uncertainty. In
Massachusetts, the Supreme Court has
unequivocally declared marriages by
consent or contracts only, illegal and
invalid. In Maryland, the rite of mar
riage is required to be celebrated by
ministers of the Gospel, except among
Quakers and persons preferring the"
Quaker ceremony, and the people are
also prohibited from marrying without
a license issued by the Clerk of the
Court, or by three publications of the
bans in church, unless the Quaker cere>
mony is used, in which cases certificates
of their agreement, attested by twelve
witnesses, have to be signed and record
ed. Our own legislation, like that of
some other States, has thus clearly de
fiued what constitutes a valid marriage!
At she same tijjpe, the fact of two
persons living together as husband and
wife, and acknowledging themselves id
be such, will probably, in the absence
of record or other positive evidence to
the cdfitrary, be received by tbe Courts
as proof of their marriage. ; and, if we
mistake not, there have been some de
cisions on this basis, especially in cases
arising as to .heirs of such parties.—-£x

Extraordinary Story. —A most re

the son has ft at the same time ; if one

suffers with-it; when one gets a cold,
the other gets it also ; and so it goes on
through all the catalogue of. ordinary
complaints. But yet more remarkable
still is the similarity of their appetites,
temperaments and general actions.—
What one likes and eato, the othdr likes
and eats; and what one dislikes and
won’t eat, the other dislikes and won’t
eat. If one becomes an-gry, or gloomy,
or happy, to the same degree and at the
same time is the other angry, or gloomy,
or happy. They sneeze at the same
time, sleep at the same time and the
same number of hours, and, the most
remakable of all, they dream at the
same time, and the dream of one is the
saihe as that of the other.

SPECIAL. NOTICES.
Rheumatics, Listen and Learn. —Prof. Kay.
ton, the popular and celebrated manufacturer
of Kay ton's Oil of Life, the best and. surest lin
iment for rheumatism known, has now discon
tinued his travels throughout the States to see
the lame and the ciipple, and those otherwise
aflicted by rheumatism, or neuralgia, or pains
in the side, &e., for he argues, and well too,
that the. people cfll cure themselves without
him.by using his Oil of Life ; the virtues of
which are unviersafly acknowledged. Some
people were foolish enough to think from the
swift and speedy cures made cn the spot, be
fore their eyes or their friends, that the Pro
fessor’s bauds were bewitched, but we assure
alUhat the sterling virtue lies only iu the Oil
of Life and good rubbing. For rheumatism,
neuralgia, pains in the back, joints or sides, or
wherever a liniment can be used that Kayton’s
Oil of Life is acknowledged as great and with
out an equal, giving the patient almost instan
taneous relief by one rubbing. For sprains or
bruises, it has also been used witn marked suc
cess.
Kaytoa’s Dyspeptic Pills, purely vegetable,
are an excellent cathartic. McKesson & Rob

A CARD TO TIIE AFFLICTED,
Dr. Al. li. LICIITENSTADT, a resident of Georgia for 21 begs leave t*
tender his services to the citizens of Randolph and adjoining counties, for the treatment of all
Chroric Di=eases, but especially those of a Nervous character, such as Neuralgia of thie
Face and Head, ap well as Sciatica, or pains, ill the Hip, Joints, Thighs, Knees and. Ancles.
This method of treating disease in its various forms, by external applications, was introduced
by mein this State,.in 18G5,npon my return from Emope, and is, comparatively speaki; g, a
,4w one, but has been already.sufficiently tested in various parts of this. State, to s-'cip-e for it
hosts of friends, especially amongst the.many patients whose sufferings have been promptly aui
PERMANENTLY cured by means of .the “Riometer.”
I have speedily restored those who suffered from the blighting disease of Paralysis, and have
had the gratification to see the return of health in the victijns of Fpileptic convulsions, whose
have befcn repeatedly pronounced incurable, by competent authorities.
Gout and Rheumatism yields to this treatment with wonderful' promptness, and not less re
markable in ,the fact that all skin diseases, by whatever technical name they may be designated,
have to succumb to my system of external medication
My Certificates, which, amongst others, bear the names of eminent citizens of this State and
Alabama, will be distributed by mail, or can be had upon application to me. A patient perusal
of the same is solicited.
jjpgp-TTnt.il further notice I can be found at the Hotel in Cuthbert, on every
Thursday, of each week, aud hope to secure the approbation of those who
may need my services. m dcc9-tf
