Chief Justice Brown —The unan
swerable reply of Gov. Brown to Far
row’s “opinion,” came outlast weekjust
after wo went to press, and as the doc
ument is lengthy, and our leaders have
generally seen it in the daily papers, we
aefrain from republishing it.
It is however a scathing and power
ful production, and vividly shows up the
falsity and absurdity of the Attorney
General’s positions.
It is generally behoved that the Radi
cals intend to read the Chief Justice out
of their party.
If such be the case, they will Jose
their best bower.
Unhappy and Degenerate Virginia.
At’length, after a sharp struggle in
both ILiuscb of Congress, between the
gallant democracy and their usurping
opponents, might, and the wrath of naan
have triumphed over justice and the
constitution, and “ the mother of
(States,” is once more permitted to re
sume her posilion as a member of this
so-called “ Uuion.”
Does she enter the arena again with
banners advanced, and crest erect ?
Alas, no ! She comes in, shorn of her
power, broken in spirit, and the play
thing and tool of her Radical oppress
ors.
And yet even in Richmond, that
(proud city, once the centre of a glorious
young nation, and the theatre of deeds
mad events which .time can never efface,
the humiliating spectacle is presented of
a portion of her people, asking for a
lederal salute of artillery, to celebrate
tho hour of her shame and dishonor.
Is this tho glorious old Dominion, the
cradle of Statesmen and the home of a
Washington and Patrick Henry ? Who
can credit the statement ?
13C A writer in tho New Era,
backed up by that recently chosen or
pan of the Terry-Bullock regime, is after
Lhief Justice Brown with a sharp stick,
because of his merciless dissection of
.Saltpetre Furrow’s “ opinion.”
The ex Governor is ono of those as
tute, far-seeing men, who, long in ad
vance of his associates, snuffs the politi
cal atmosphere ia the distance, and
trims aud sets his sails to meet the com
ing gale. In this respect his sagacity
.never fails him.
Tis said that rats will desert a sink
ing ship. Let the Radicals of Georgia
heed the signs of the times, and prepare
for the doom which awaits them. We
tell them again, that their triumph will
be short.
The pulses attd great heart of our
people beat in unison together, and
never, never will they consent to submit
to degradation and shume v
The ballot box, and Courts of justice,
will yet undo the unholy work of a
rampant faction. Let us watch and
wait.
or Prentice, the brilliant, spark
ling, and trenchant wit and politician,
is no move.
The Journalist will miss the retort
inimitable, the eaus'tic irony, the point
ed shaft, the rasping acrostic, the ex
quisite pathos and humor, which ever
and anon gliding from the n ascent pen
of this peerless Murat of the press, were
caught up with avidity by his compeers
everywhere, and aided in no small de
gree to lighteu the dullness of their own
columns, just as the caibonic acid gas,
gives life and sparkle to the juice of
the grape.
A power is his day, this glorious old
man goes down to the sileut grave,
wrecked in fortuue, and saddened in
heart, b-y the results of that terrible
struggle which divided his family cirele,
and spilled the blood of a darling son.
Still, to the very last, like the fitful
fl ime of the expiring taper, his elastic
a.id irrepressible intellect sent forth its
dazzling seantillations to charm and
electrify his readers.
Gallant spirit, noble patriot, thy race
accomplished, “thy mission done, rest
sweetly from thy labors in that better
land, where cries for copy, and mid

One tear at least, will be dropped by
every editor in the laud, to the memory
of George D. Prentice, the poet, schol

African Labor Unreliable—Tlie
Remedy.
The great scarcity of farm laborers,
and the failure of many planters to com
plete th**ir plantation arrangements for
the current year, have exercised a de
pressing influence upon trade, and crea
ted much uneasinessrin the community.
Few farms have their full complement
of hands, and thousands of seres w ill
remain untilled fur lack of labor.
This may bo accounted for in
ways:
let. Emigration to the West is in
creasing very fast under the-etiinulus of
canvassing agents, who offer fabu
lous wages, and also provide the neces.
sary transportation. Hundreds have
thus been prevailed upon to leave this
vicinity, and will learn to their sorrow
that after all, the their
best refuge.
2d. Each year adds to the number of
those who having accumulated a small
surplus of cash, purchase or rent, little
parcels of land usually worn out and
worthless, and set up for themselves.
It ns needless to say that the subsistence
of a inaj irity of these mast be eked out
by wholesale theft and peculation, and
from active producers they will soon de
generate into thriftless consumers.
3. 'Jbe numerous railroads in tho
country absorb a very considerable |>or
tioo of the begt labor of the
plantation. The roving life, and unset
tled habits of these operatives, ever
unfit them afterwards for the quiet pur
suits df husbandry.
4th. The continued subtraction of
female labor from the field, and the
placing of-the youth of both sexes in
the numerous schools which have been
established.
stb. Tho tendency to congregate in
towns and villages, where a precarious
subsistence is earned by daily labor, aud
the worst habits are engendered.
6tfi, The alarming mortality among
the blacks caused exposure, -and
want of medical ajd, aad the too liberal
use of urdent<*spirits.
The above comprise a few of the
causes which b*ve-#perated to diminish
the supply of farm labor. To these
must be superadded the demoraliaiiig
effects of Radical legislation, and the
present condition of political affairs ia
Georgia.
From the indisposition to make con
tracts, the increased arrogance of the
negroes, and the exorbitant nature of
their demands, it is but too evident that
baleful and sinister influences are at
work among them. A vague idea pre
vails that special legislation in their
behalf will supersede the necessity of
work, aud enable them to lead lives of
indolence and ease.
Under a this hallucination, the most
tempting offers are refused
and the deluded ward of the nation,
must therefore come’to grief ere long,
when his means are exhausted and eui
ployment can no longer be obtained.
To those of cur planters, (and their
name is legion,) wV> are thus partiully,
and in some instances wholly deprived
of farm laborers, wo offur tho following
word of advice :
In the first place, with such floating
assistance as can be obtained by per
diem wages, sow every spare acre of
your land in rye, oats, potatoes,
and such other crops as require but lit
tle cultivation, and bide your time, when
the starving multitudes will be too glad
to aid in reaping and securing the har
vest.
2d. Spend your spare cash, or pawn
your land if needs be, to procure some
tried and reliable fertilizer, with which
to enrich every acre of corn and cotton you
may be able lo cultivate.
' 3d. Increase your mule or horse team,
and procure the best plows, grain aud
manure distributors, and all other labor
saving implements, and thus supple
ment wbat help you possess, and hold
in your own hands the profits realized.
4th. Pull off your gloves, ignore the
traditions of the past, provide yourselves
with tbe most approved seeds, and enter
the field in person, hoe or scythe in band,
and prove to our yankee oppressors
that Southern boys are still game to
the backbone, and able to take care of
themselves.
Fifth and finally : Trust in God, and
teach your children like Ilarailcar of
old, to swear upon the altar of their
country, undying hate to radicalism, and
that plebian and contemptible regime,
which has usurped the high places of
the nation, and would fain grind into
powder a high-minded people who had
laid down their arms, after an honorable
capitulation.
Patience friends and countrymen.—
Wrong shall not always have sway, nor
will Anglo Saxons ever become the hew
ers of wood and drawers of water to
any task masters on earth. Only stand
firm, and be not seduced from the path
of duty, by honeyed promises, on the
one hand, and threats and intimidations
on the other. » *
Quit yourselves like men, and confide
in the God of your fathers.
Congressional Items About Georgia.
—The following debate occurred in
Congress on the 18th :
Mr. Norton delivered a lengthy speech
in review of reconstruction legislation,
during which he incidentally stated that
a military commission was not sitting at
Atlanta to determine on the qualification
of members of the Georgia Legislature,
and'were exercisig an authority equal
to that of the Queen of Great Britain.
Mr. Edmunds said if the statement
was true, the authority of the commis
sion must have been received from the
Qnren of Great Britain, for it could not
have been received from the President of
the United States or from law.
Mr. Norton replied that the fact was
as be had stated it. He said this was
but one instance of unlimited and unwar
ranted use of power in the South under
the acts of Congress, which were prac
tically defective.
In the House on the same day the
following took place :
On motion of Mr. Brooks, the Gener
al of the Anqy was directed to inform
the House under what act of Congress,
or by what authority Gens. Huger and
Haynes and jVlaj. Goodfellow are acting
as a committee of elections in the Geor
gia Ltgidature.
Attention Planters—Hold Your j
Cotton and Get Thirty Cents, j
The report from every town in the j
South is the same—-“very light stocks
of cotton offering and demand great.”
Orders have been sent out' to purchase,
every bale offered These orders are
flowing in from the North, aud from
Liverpool and Havre. Northern spec
ulators -have -engaged to deliver near
half a million bales, during the months
of January, February, March and April.
Very little spot cotton can be purchased
in New York City, where these deliver
ies are to be rr.a «
Easton & Cos., in their Circular of The
7th -of-January, say that, we do not
know a point in the South from which
cottoQ can be brought here, to pay but
even without commissions. They fur
ther say, that what cotton there is in
New York is of a low grade—not above
good ordinary. “Much of it,” they say,
“is stained aud dusty.” Spinners as
well as speculators, must therefore look
to the Southern markets for supplies to
run their mills, and fill contracts for fu
ture deliveries.
The latest news from Liverpool i3 en
couraging. It shows that the East India
crop for 1869, will fall far short of 1868.
The shipments from Bombay during the
month of December, where 25.000 bales
less than for the corresponding month
in 1868. In the last Circular of W. G.
Watts & Cos., of Liverpool, the stock of
cotton ,io Bombay and on Ship-’board
there, is estimated at 125,000 bales less
than same time a year ago. What do
all these facts signify ? Plainly and
unmistakably that every man in the
South who owns a half; of cdftaß,should
hold it at all hazards; and thus oorner
the market and get thirty cents a pound
for it within the next ninety days. Cot
ton goes up every spring anyway,; bat
if planters will now take oar advice, (for
which w-e do not charge a cent) and
hold firmly, they will not have to wait
long before realizing thirty -cents for
their cotton. Therefore, we say again,
hold your cotton, planters. The game is
in your own hands, ar.d if you fail to'
win now, you deserve to get nothing
and to receive no sympathy from disin
terested parties who are watching the
game between the Northern speculators
and spinners, and Southern planters.
Our attentions having been called to
the foregoing iu the Eufaula News, of
the 18th, we copy it merely to say that
we have very grave doubts about the
soundness of the advice it gives to plan
ters. A great many have held so far at
loss, measured by absolute quotations,
and if warehouse expenses, loss in
weight, etc., are added, the loss upon
what might haye been realized at the
opening of the market this season is
considerable.
On the first day of November, cotton
was quoted in Macon at. 23 to 23£ cents,
and yesterday it was quoted at 23.
This fact displays an unusiiuhsteadiness
in the market, and the failure so far of
the anticipated rise after the holidays,
is no doubt due to the increasing evidence
of the magnitude of last year’s crop.—
The receipts in Macon, for illustration,
are likely to aggregate over twenty
thousand bales more than those of last
year. They were 57,000 bales last year,
and they are now already 64,000, with
seven months to run. Columbus and
Montgomery, and most other interior
markets, will ehow about an equal ex
cess. Ia the face of such gains, as well
as the general course of the market
since first September, wo cannot advise
any man to hold with the expectation of
realizing thirty cents. We don’t believe
he is going to get it.
It is quite possible the market may
stiffen and advance a little under pres
sure of the demand to fill contracts for
“future delivery” sale; but that is the
best we look for, and believe any corner ■
ing operation will break down under
the influence of heavy receipts and the
general depression ol business through
out the world.
If this is not good advice, it is the best
we know; and, after all, the wisest are
often floored iu prognostications about
cotton. He who owes debts due should
sell and pay -up. That is a point of
honor and duty. Nobody should spec
ulate at the risk and expense of his
creditors. He who owes nothing, may
hold at his own risk and take tbe chan
ces; and then, whether ho wins or loses,
it is only a question of the size of his
surplus, which is not half so important
a question as most people suppose.--Tel
egraph Messenger.
The Virgina Bill in the Senate.
Telegraphic Correspondence Courier-Journal.]
Washington, January 21.—The Senate
reached a final vote, this evening at
5:30 o’clock, on the Virginia bill, and
passed a virtual substitute for that
which cam 4s from the House. The op
ponents of the House measure sue
ceeded, though by close votes, in at
taching conditions to the admission of
the State, to this effect : First—Requir
ing the oath of loyalty imposed by the
Fourteenth Amendment on the members
of the Legislature. Second—declaring
that the State shall not change her Con
stitution so as to deprive colored citi
zens of the right to vote or to hold office.
Third—Declaring that they shall be
equal participants in the school fund
and shall not be deprived of it.
the scene in the senate.
The scene in the Senate today was
full of interest. About the largest
crowd ever assembled in the chamber
was present, and hundreds could not
get admission. At one time there were
eighty members ot the House on the
Senate floor, and the representatives of
the Foreign Legation fully occupied the
diplomatic gallery. Thedobate* was al
most confined to Messrs. Sum
ner and Trumbull, and was very acrimo
nious in its character. Sumner de
nounced Gov. Walker twenty times as
a traitor. Trumbull was called to or
der by the Vice President for speaking
of the arrogance, assumption, and es
frontery of Suinner, and the latter was
called to order for similar language ap
plied to Trumbull. The galleries en
joyed the excoriation each Senator in
flicted on the other, and laughed and
applauded. They were warned by Coh
fax not to make any demonstration at
the final vote, and all was quiet then.
The House then took up the Virginia
bill, and after a very sharp debate be
tween Messrs. Binglfam, Butler and
Farnsworth, mostly of-a personal char
acter, the House concurred in the bill
as it came from the Senate, and was
passed by a strict party vote.
The House adjourned.
Senate.— Morrell was qualified as
Fessenden’s successor.
The Supreme Court to-day decided
in a case coming from the northern dis
trict of Alabama, that the plea of Con
federate authority is no justification for
the indictment, arrest and imprison
ment of a party for treason against that
power, by its courts, officers and grand
juries.
A bill to provide for a national cur
rency ol coin notes, and to equalize the
distribution of the circulating notes was
taken up and discussed to executive

[Cambridge, Cnthbert aad Col
umbus R- R-
We are much pleased at the energy
and enterprise displayed by the Direc
tors of this road. Their purpose to
place tho road under contract to the
flourishing city of Cuthbert at once,
meets our cordial, approbation, and we
are sure will result most advantageously”
to the best interests of the work.
There is, in our judgment, no new
railroad enterprise projected in this
State more favorably located or that
promises earlier and larger rirwTdends on
•its stock than this road; provided, how
ever, the work is not permitted to lin
ger midway for the want of promptness
in the payment of installments by tliS*
stockholders. Considering tire -season
of the year when the project -was inau
gnrated and an effort made to procure
subscriptions of stock, the people along
tho line of the road have done admira
bly, and deserve the thanks of the pub
lic. Nor can we suppose that-suhscrip
tions made at so dull a season were ex.
travagant, and cannot be paid in mid
winter, when a bountiful Piov.ideuce has
smiled upon our planting interest, and
filled our coffers to* oversowing.
llut as it is all important that the road
should be completed to Lumpkin, in
Stewart county, and the present s«b
.scriptions being insufficient, even with
the fetate’s endorsement of bonds, to jus
tify the letting out of contracts farther
than to Cuthbert, the officers of the road
should not relinquish their efforts to ob
tain subscriptions until the amount shall
be reached that will justify the jjkcing
of the road under contract to Lmnpkin.
And it seems to us that the rich county
of Stewart, unaided, ought to be able to
prepare the bed of the road for the iron
through their own county limits by the
subscriptions of its own citizens. Tbe
matter should be tested.
The managers-of this great work can
not too highly appreciate the importance
to the road of a determined effort to
build it without delay. Other enterpri
ses are projected, which, if successful,
will militate against the wellbeing ot this
road, but which will probably never be
extended far enough Westward to in
terfere materially with its business,
should its managers avail themselves of
their present advantages by pushing
their road through to Cuthbert by tha
next Fall season.
The benefits to accrue to Cuthbert
from the construction of this line of road
will be very great. The most obtuse
intellect cannot but see that direct com
munication with Florida, to say noth
ing’ of an additional lino to Savannah
and the increased facilities in transpor
tation,thereby afforded to New Orleans,
must result advantageously to the com
mercial and educational interests of that
city.
We earnestly entreat all parties, to
be benelitted by this road, to unite their
means and influence in a determined ef
fort to have it completed in the shortest
possible period —Bambridge Argus.

have decided that I ought not to sub

I have the highest respect for the

I have learned from several sources
that they, or at least some of them, have
been consulted individually as to the
eligibility of several of those whose
cases have been investigated, and have
given opinions on the facts as submit

Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral,
For Diseases of the Throat and Lungs,
such as Coughs, Colds, Whooping
Cough, Bronchitis, Asthma,
and Consumption.
Probably never before in the whole history of
medicine, has any thing won so widely and so
deeply upon the confidence of mankind, as this
excellent remedy fer pulmonary complaints.
Through a long series of years, and among most
of the races ot men it has risen higher and highet
-in their estimation, as it has become better known.
Its uniform character and power to cure the va
rious affections of the lungs and throat, have
made it known as a reliable protector against
them. While adapted to milder forms of disease
and to young children, it is at the same time the
most effectual remedy that can be givflp for incip
ient consumption, and the dangerous affections
of the throat and lungs. Asa provision against
sudden attacks of Croup, it should be kept on
hand in every family, and indeed as all arc some
times subject to colds and coughs, all should be
provided with this antidote for them.
Although settled Consumption is thought in
curable, still great numbers of cases where the
disease seemed settled, have been completely
cured, and the patient restored to sound health
by the Cherry Pectoral. So complete is its
mastery over the disorders of the Lungs and
Throat, that the most obstinate of them yield to it.
When nothing else could reach them, under the
Cherry Pectoral they subside and disappear.
Singers and Pulilic Speakers find great
protection from it.
Asthma is always relieved and often wholly
“cured by it.
Bronchitis is generally cured by taking the
■Cherry pectoral in small and frequent doses.
So generally are its virtues known, that we
need not publish the certificates of them here, or
do more than assure tire public that Us qualities
-are fully maintained.
Ayer’s Ague Cure,
For Fever and Ague, Intermittent Fever,
Chill Fever, Bemittent Fever, Dumb
Ague, Periodical or Bilious Fever, &c.,
and indeed all the affections which arise
from malarious, marsh, or miasmatic
poisons.
As its name implies, it does Cure, and does not
fail. Containing neither Arsenic, Quinine, Bis
muth, Zinc, nor any other mineral or poisonous
substance whatever, it in nowise injures any pa
tient. The iMßiiber and importance of its cures
in the ague dfflßicts, are literally beyond account,
and we believe without a parallel m the history
of Ague yvwlicirro. Our pride .is gratified,by the
acknowledgments we receive of the radical cures
effected in obstinate cases, and where other rem
edies had wholly failed.
Unacclimated* persons, either resident- in, or
travelling through miasmatic localities, will be
protected by taking the A GUE CURE daily.
For River Complaints, arising from torpid
ity of the Liver, it is an excellent remedy, stimu
lating the Liver into healthy activity.
For Bilious Disorders and Liver Complaints, it
is an, excellent remedy, producing many truly
remarkable cures, where other medicines had
failed.

DISSOLVED BONES.
The SUPPLY OF PERUVIAN GUANO hav
iiig become exhausted, it is necessary for the
planting community to look for a substitue for this
article, so efficacious in promoting and sustaining
the growth of cotton. The combination of Peruvi
an Gnano and Diss lived Bones has been found to
be the safest and best of all the many articles of
fered, and we are confident that in an ordinary sea
son, to use the language of Mr. David Dickerson,
can never fail. In presenting our AMMONIATED
to the planter, we but give the combination in a
form ready for immediate use, thus saving the cost
and trouble of manipulation and securing uuiform
ily in quality.
The practical results obtained from the articles
shipped by us, prove them to.be superior toall oth
ers, and in a trade extending through every portion
of the cotton growing regions, and, during the past
five years, consuming thousands of tons, we are
yet to hear of the first complaint.
In our manufacture we di card all mineral phos
phates, and rely entirely upon
PURE BO]STBS,
Made readily soluble by the use of Sulphuric Acid.
Tbe Ammonia is supplied Irom tbe next valuable
source to Peruvian Guano, and in sufficient quanti
ties to give tbe plants vigorousaod heJthv growth
the soluble bone sustaining it throughout the season.
We have no hesitation in placog this ariicle
against any manufacture or combination known,
and wit! refund every dollar spent in its purchase
ID caß6 it does riot rrirA Skitisfaotion.
in case it does not give satisfaction.
