THE CUMBER! APPEAL.' PUBLISH l£l> EVEttT THURSDAY MORXIKO BT SAWtAI & JONES. H. U. JONES, Editor. THURSDAY. JANUARY 27, 1870. To tub li Kscue Again.— As will be Bjen by our advertising columnsito-day ( the merchants of Cnthbert are respond ing nobly in behalf of the Appeal. This exhibition of continued confi dence and appreciation, is indeed cheer ing to both editor and publisher. We are resolved to deserve the coun tenance and support of friends, if un (tiring diligence and industry can effect aught. ' 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 n ; ght toil, and aching brow, no mare siiall afflict thee. One tear at least, will be dropped by every editor in the laud, to the memory of George D. Prentice, the poet, schol ar, wit, and patriot. Requiescat in pace. The Fifteenth Amendment — Chicago, January 20, Noon.—The lowa Senate ratified the Fifteenth Amendment yes terday. The House votes to-day. lolutnbui, Ohio, January 20, Noon.— Ths House discussed the Fifteenth Ainendmentyeiterduy, and votes upon it to day. What are they After? —Quite a crowd of colored people are seen daily following close upon the heels of the colored members of the Legislature.— Are they office-seekers? Do they all want to be clerks, doorkeepers, &c.? Do they want a share of the per diem ? Or are they ambitious to be seeD in the company of those of their own species who haye risen to the dignity of law makers ?— Atlanta Intelligencer. PinmifG in Port. —There were in the port of tiavannuh yesterday thirty four ships, twenty barks, three brigs and thirty-eight schooners. Total number of sail, ninety five,— Rep. 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 session. [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. Gen.

I have the highest respect for the character and attainments of the gen tleman who compose tho Court, and have no doubt that they would endeav or to give me an impartial opinion, but 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 ted to them. I think, that iu justice to all parties, the ordinary rule of law’ which forbids a Judge to decide upon a matter upon which he has been consulted as counsel, should be follow ed here. Alfred ‘H.

J. C. MARTIN, jan27-40d Administrator. 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.

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.
