11. 11. JONES, Editor.
THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 3, 1870.
Gen. Lee has gone to attend the
Peabody obsequies tl Portland Maine.
Our Legislature it appears con*
tinut f) to do nothing but draw their pay
and dance attendance to “Massa Bul
lock.” Fun for yon, but death to us.
We verily believe the country would
l,e better off il Georgia was spared the
affliction of such another mauagerie of
lining-el law givers, for a hundred years
to come. llow can de colojne must, sell
in Atlanta.
The scarcity of field labors is
a matter general complaint.
Borne of our very best farmers are
unsupplied. This should bo taken into
account in future crop estimates, and
will doubtless exert an influence upon
the cotton market even during the pres
tut season.
Our people w ill be forced to supple
*r,p in the labor supply,
with their own brown muscle.
A strong reserve can be brought to
bear from the professions, and the idlers
and supernumerary clerks of our towns
and villages. To the leseue young
n»eu, your country needs your services.
jjßu The Bainbridge Argus announ
ces the name of Dr. I. Hoyle as Local,
and Dr. Brad w ell as Agricultural edi
tor of that Journal.
Mr. Benjamin Russell has now the
editorial charge of-the Southern Sun.
Our best wishes for the success of all
ol them. •
It Did’nt Pay.—Bullock has issued an
cider reeding the publishing of his nu
lin-rous proclamations etc., etc., in a
large portion id the newspapers of the
Slate, as has been done for a year pad,
jit grievous cust to the country.
It was a nice bait to buy off opposi
tioo, but failed in must instances egie-
griously.
Printers don't endorse all they print,
and many *of our noble- pressmen who
have taken jobs ot the kind refered to,
would be drawn and quartered ere they
would ope their lips in behalf of Bul
lock or radicalism.
A few wore a little shaky, but we
don’t w ish to bo .personal,
iST The Savannah papers announce
the death of Robert Habersham, Esq. ;
fcged 86 years. Mr Habeusliam has
been in mcrchaDlilo life more than a half
century, aud belongs to one the oldest
and most illustrious families of the
htute. He was highly esteemed and
respected.
An Obsequious Crowd. —The Legis
lature is so well broken in, that w hen
any question is sprung in debate, the
first inquiry is, how will Gen. Terry like
it? Why not save our ruined people
something by asking the General to or
ganize his staff into a provisional con
clave, for our government. It would
nave time and money, aud work fully as
Well.
»©* Its is now believed that the U.
B. Souate w ill refuse to seat Revels the
iiegro senator from Mississippi. This
i* poaching upon the Northern manor
and won’t be allowed. It is only the
South that must be niggerized. Very
logical and correct we suppose.
The Turnip OnnTßovßitsY. —Mr. J.
I*. Roquemtire, of B irbour county, Al
ii Itamu, sends us, by express, a single
globe turnip, with which he expects to
‘•out-do” the achievements of Vineville;
but not so. Mr. Roquemore’s turnip
weighs only nine pounds and a halt,
whereas the turnip sent by Mr. J. A.
Virgin, of Vineville, weighed twelve
pounds. We cheerfully admit that Mr.
Roquemore’s is a turnip—yea, a large
one; but it does not take the lead.—
We h ave this year one turnip weighing
4£_two weighing 131—one weighing
I*2, end one 9}—showing that this is a
good turnip country even in a bad sea
son.
We clip the above from the Tele
graph &, Messenger of u recent date. Now
if brother Clisby will dispatch a wheel
barrow to our office, we will send him a
turnip raised by Uncle Billy Brooks,
which will beat “Alabama, anl Vine
vole” out of sight.
But what is one turnip ? The writer
j lnS had a half acre the present season
it, the heart of this city, which will chal
lenge comparison for stand, size and
sweetness with any pirtcbdn the load.—
Would it not be deemed apocryphal al
if he wore to allege that he ouce rear
ed 600 bushels of rutabagas on £ of an
acre in Liberty county ? Vet such is the
U 'ilas our Macon friend any thing fur
ther to say on turnips ?
N boro Outrage is Macon. —By pri
vate letter liom Macon we learn of a
horrible affair that happened in that
j luce yesterday, which lias stirred the
biood to a fever heat.
The wife of a distinguished Divine
was passing from the house of Colonel
Whittle to her own home, about dusk
in the evening, when a negro boy, in
t: e employ of Ralston, attempted to
i ullage her person. He threw her
, IUV# n, choked and beat her, but failed
in his diabolical purpose.
The boy is arrested and in jail. Tm
ji-ense excitement. —Atlanta Constitution.
We forbear to give any particulars of
the above diabolicai outrage, iudeterence
to an ifiictcd and terribly aggrieved
family. , , , . • ,
V, go will say that law does not exist
in Georgia, while such a miscreant was
permitted to await its tardy course, and
tiie certainty exists that be will be per
l. ilted to go scot free by the man they
cull our Governor.
An instance of astounding lib
tiioiiiy shines forth in the case or a

Support Your Pastors.
The New York Times states in an
editorial, that the salaries of ministers in
that city are wholly inadequate to their
>ervires and necessities, in the large
majority of cases. A short letter, over
the signature of“ Missionary,” appeared
in that journal a few duys after, the
writer of which says :
“God knows every word J-ott say is
true. Many ol us have been crmpelled
to wear second-hand clothes; and in
addition to many deprivations and suf
ferings, I was actually driven by neces.
fcity to Sell a seal ring, which was an
heirloom, a gold watch with chain, and
with the consent of my wile a pair of
bracelets. This is the way we get
along.
If the above be true in the opulent
metropolis ol the nation, whose massive
churches arc renowned For their archi
tectural grandeur and beauty, while
their interior decorations, vie with the
palaces of royalty, what may be' said of
the multitudes of Gods servants in the
rural districts, who aie forced to eke out
a subsistence upon the paltry pittance
which is annually allowed.
The rations, and annual stipend of
many day laborers in the country, far
exceed the emoluments of this devoted
band, who are expected to be patterns
of neatness, and prime movers in every
work of charity and liberality. Sliat*
out as they are from secular pursuits,
and branded with worldlincss i/they even
exhibit ordinary shrewdness in the plans
and arrangements of life, to follow one
of these worthies through the painful
routine of their domestic economy, would
develope facts, which should put to the
blush the well fed and luxurious mem
bers of their congregations.
Oh who can estimate fully the trials,
privations, and sad experience of the vil
lage pastor, in his earnest and offtimes
bootless efforts to make both eDds meet,
at the close of the year. His excellent
helpmeet may slave and toil, and pnteh
and turn**the garments of her household,
and pinch and reduce the homely fare
of the table, until even ingenuity is at
fault, and still debt, that cabalistic word,
so re.jlete with shame and despair, ever
threatens them, like the sword of Dam'
odes. But even this might bo borne if
superadded to all, the painful conscious
ness did o6t obtrude itself, that the lit
tle which w-as receiyed, had been giveD
grudgingly.
Alas 1 the opinion is too common >
that the minister is a mere object of
charity, to whom should be doled out
such a support as will be least burden
some, and most convenient to his patrons.
Hence when money is subscribed, the
butcher, the haberdasher, the tailor, and
every other demand, lias precedence to
that of the faithful laborer in the vine
yard of his Lord. And yet of all men,
the toil of the conscientious pastor is
probably most arduous. In bis case if
he would give “beaten oil” to his charge,
the works of the fathers must be con
sulted, the whole field of ecclesiastical
lore explored, and the infidel, the athe
ist, and the scuffjr met, and combatted
at every point.
Nor is there any “discharge in this
warfare”. The work is ever beginning,
never ending—there is no rest, no re
spite, until death opens the gates of
paradise. At tho nuptial ceremony, at
the death bed of saint and sinner, amid
scenes of sickness, contagion, and woe,he
is constantly moving like an angel of
mercy, while the burden of the souls of
his precious flock, presses like a moun
tain upon his head.
Oh ye, who think the pastors office a
sincecure and give stintingly to his ne
cessities, consider those things, and
open your hearts and your barns in his
behalf.
We were present at one of the church
es of our city several sabbaths since,
and heard the announcement made, that
the retiring pastor had not been fully
paid the slender salary allowed him for
his manifold labors.
Upon inquiry, the fact has transpired
that all of the other congregations are
also delinquent in this respect.
And indeed, where is the church or
community, of whom it can be asserted
that the Pastor receives that measure
of world!}’ support, and Christian sympa
thy which is commensurate with his
services and dsserts ?
These things ought not so to be.—
Justice, common honesty, humanity, du
ty, God’s precepts au<f commands, all
alike forbid it. Let us pay our faithful
and beloved ministers the last cent we
owe them, and double rather than dimin
ish the scanty allowance vouchsafed for
their maintenance.
We give below, a single para
graph from the paper submitted .by
Tresure Angier, to the Congressional
Reconstruction Committee.
The Treasurers statements are lumi
nous, pointed, and overpowering. There
is not the least attempt to blunt the
keen edge of the cutting Anglo Saxon
expletives, which aro brought into re'
quisilion. On the whole it is a very
pretty quarrel, and the facts and nau<
sealing details connected with the ca
reer of the first radical Governor of
Georgia, who was fished up from the
dregs of the political chaldron by Fed
eral bayonets, and is kept afloat by the
same agency, must have been dama
ging even to Republicans stomachs.
But hear what au important State
officer affirms of the Executive of Geor-
gia-
This is the man (Bullock) with all
his corruptions, squandering the State’s
funds by thousands, in his own interest,
in violation of law, with mind so per
verted that it seems to be his pleasure
to shield and reward iniquity and pun
ish honesty and virtue; who has the su
perlative littleness to commence a vexa
tious, malicious, libellous prosecution
against an official because he dares tell
the truth and act honestly ; and he finds
miscreants to join him iu the cry, “Cru
cify him ! crucify him ! !’’ who can get
their hands into the State Treasury
through executive patronage. Thus,
by his reckless extravagance and in
roads upon the Treasury, does he find
willing accomplices in mischief, and
forces poor Georgia to fu.uish the dag
ger to cut her owu throat.
Sadie aJism, Bullock, and Terry
with His Bayonets, Successful-
As will be seen from the record ol
proceedings, and the published vote in
another column, McWhorter the Radi
cal nominee h„s been elected speaker of
the Georgia House of Representatives,
by a vote of 76 to 52. The Atlanta
Constitution is severe in its strictures up.
on those democrats, who, by scattering
their votes, aided the radicals in their
defeat of the conservatives. It asserts
that had all stood firm in the support of
Bryaut, a sufficient number of bolters
from McWhorter, would have acted
with the democrats, to have insured his
overthrow. If this he true, the responsi
bility resting upon these gentlemen
among whom we arc soiry to note the
name of our immediate representative,
is heavy indeed.
It matters not that Mr. Bryant was
personally distasteful to any of them.—
It is sufficient to know that he was in
open antagonism to Bullock, and the
most available candidate in the field.
To compass the downfall of this potty
despot, and save the State from the
dread consequences of defeat, we would
have been tempted to vote even for his
Satanic Majesty bad it been necessary-
That these indivduals acted from
proper motives, we do not question. —
Already however they must have seen
the bitter fruits of their fully, in the
swearing in of the infamous Jackson
and others, in the places of those who
resigned, or were ejected from their
seats.
It is some consolation to know, that
the’ former is not the choice of our peo
ple by 500 votes, nor is he a native, or
even resident of the county it is decided
he shall represent.
The present Legislature as it former
ly stood, made bankrupt of the finances
cf the State. It is reserved for the same
Body now, under radical manipulation,
to bankrupt its reputation also.
This is universal suffrage practically
developed.
.Legislative.

Whorter duly elected Speaker of the,
House, and appointed Messrs. Bryant
and Scott to accompany him to the
chair.
Hon. A. L. Harris very briefly intro-,
duced the Speaker and retired.
Speaker McWhorter, on taking the
Chair, briefly addressed the House as
follows:
Ho stated that the present Legisla
ture was assembled here under the au
thority of Congress. Reconstruction
began more than four years ago, and
he feared that we might live to regret
our non-acceptance of the terms offered
by that Congress. They offered more
liberty than was ever before offered to
a subjugated people. On our future
conduct depends our very existence as
a people. Moderation must rule the
hour. Our national interests have been
neglected. Our treasury is depleted.—
Taxation lias becorne-burdensome. We
cannot expect free-labor to be profitable
without mental culture. Let us forget
the past —that is gono forever—let us
remember to-day, and devote our enefa
gies to the prosperity of the State.
He returned thanks to the House for
the honor conferred upon him, and on
motion, declared the House adjourned
until 10 o’clock Wednesday morning.
Note.— Just before the Clerk an
nounced the result of the Speakers elec
tion, Scott, of Floyd, requested him to
record the votes of Messrs. Donald
son, Talliaferro and Nunn.
The Chairman declined, and referred
to Geneial Order No. 10. He would
allow no appeal from his decision.
Mr. Scott said he would file a pro
test.
The three members above named
were the only ones declared ineligible
by Gen. Terry’s order. Weleher s case
fs still under consideration. Ha is pro
hibited from taking any part in the pro
ceeding pending the investigation. Ihe
other members tried are declared eligi
ble. r
Thunders of applause greeted the e e>
tion of Sneaker Mo\\ hurter, and ttie
utmost interest was manifested, not only
by the members, but by the visitors
present. The giHeriefl will be open to
morrow.
ffcgr- The following from_ the Albany
News, would seem to indicate that the
early construction of the Albany and
Brunswick Railroad under the skilfull
supervision of Col. Ilulbert, is an assur
ed fact. It is well known that the route
of this Road passes through our city.—
With the completion of the same, to.
gether’with the Bainbridge, Culhbert
and Columbus enterprise. Cuthbert
may justly claim to be one of the Rail
road centers of Georgia.
We trust so many avenues of commu
nication with all portions of the State,
and with the. markets of the world, will
tell speedily and powerfully upon the
prosperity of our town.
With health unsurpassed by any spot
on the globe, pure water, first class edu
cational advantages, and a refined soci
ety, what point can be better adapted
for a permanent home to the planters of
lower Georgia ?
Many beautiful building sites crown
ing our verdant hills, lay invitingly open
to newcomers, and we trust a bright
future is in store for us.
The Brunswick and Albany Rail
road.--A day or two ago, the Constitu
tion chronicled the appointment of Col.
E. Hulbert, as Superintendent of the
above road.
This line is destined to foira an im
portant and leading chain in the great
railway interests of the South, as yet in
their curliest development.
The distance from Brunswick to Al
bany is 163 miles. The road will be
completed October 15th. From Alba
ny to Eufaula the distance is 70 miles,
and the engineers are already doing
their preliminary work on this portion
of the great Southern route. 4,000
tons of iron are now being lauded, des
tined especially for this lino. On its
completion to Eufaula, it will connect
with the Montgomery and Eufaula
Railroad, already completed to Union
Springs.
Another company will, in time for the
completion ol these projects, be ready to
co-operate, extending the chain to Me
ridian via Greenville.
The new. road, whose name is at the
head of this notice, will give us 165
miles shorter route in all main and sub
ient connections. Its low grades and
even cuuntry will enable it to be em
phatically 7 a fast freight line.
The magnificent land locked harbor
of Brunswick will be not only the eutre
pot of the South, but also the great coal
station ; and the South will have a har
bor, no lunger a suburban village, or a
feeder to New York, as Norfolk is, but
on her own territory, aud in her own in
terests.
Oc behalf of the public, wo congratu
late the Albany and Brunswick Road
on its new loader, Col. Hulbert, a man
who can see two sides of thing, and who,
above all petty interests and selfi.-.h
combinations, sees only the unfolding of
a gigantic system, only the outlines of
which are declared as yet, but which
shall connect the Northern' agricultural
interests with the magnificent cotton
belt of the South, by new and closer
ties. —Albany H r ews.
From the New York Democrat.—
True, “Brick” every word es it.
Just let the Tariff question,or the Al
abama claims, or the fish bounties get
up a little speck of war and then call
for volunteers, or attempt to draft sol
diers. '
Oil woulJ’nt we go fast and fight hard
for the “dear old flag.”
And these fanatics talk of concilia
tion 1
So many generations cannot come
and go in the Southland in all the fu
ture years, as to permit this bitterness,
and deep sense of shame and humilia
tion to drop away.
Babes now at the Southern mother’s
breast will grow up most earnest ene
mies of the Pharisees of New England,
and for the wrongs done their sires will
have revenge upon tha descendants of
those Pharisees. This spirit -has been
instigated and fostered by tho Nartb,
and the North will be the sufferers. It
cannot always rule and domineer as
now. The Southern soldier’s sword
will be passed down from father to son,
during generation after generation, uii'
til there shall be fitoedorn for the South
or revenge for her wrongs.
Tiie Greenline Exccrsioxists.—
The Savannah papers are full of the de
tails of the late visit of large delega
tions of the merchant guilds of Cincin
natti, Louisville, Nashville and Atlanta.
No pains or expense were spared in
the entertainment .of the distinguished
guests.
Dinners, boat races, excursions by
rail and water, a visit to Fort Pulaski,
toasts speechifying,champagne and com
pliments, wor e the order of the day.—
We trust our Western friends will re
turn home more resolved than ever to
bring closer and closer, the relations
which naturally subsist between the two
sections.
The press was numerously and ably
represented among the excursionists,
and doubtless we shall have full reports
of the trip, as seen through their corn
spectacles.
Such occasions form new eras of good
will and kind feeling between all the
parties concerned.
Ranse on toe Rampage. —Gen.
Wright, of the Augusta Chronicle & Sen
tinel, thus disposes of the editor of the
Atlanta Intelligencer, who’ for a long
time essaying to “hold with the hounds,
and run with the hare” is now the open,
and paid apologist and eulogist of Bul
lock and his gang.
The General has an ugly way of hnn
dling the cowhide, which might prove
damaging to his antagonist in his pres
ent irate mood. Don’t quarrel and fight
gentlemen, or a military commission
may snap you up in a twinkling.
The flow of red flood, and the axe
and guillotine are all that is wanting to
complete the horrors of the Georgia itu
ation. How do our Northern conserva
tive brethren relish the picture ?
The following is the extract alluded
to
‘This conduct—these cowardly cal urn.
nies of Jared I. Whitaker, Proprietor,
of the Atlanta Intelligencer, upon us
and the well known profession of his
relations t > society, leaves us no other
course than to publish what the public
has long since suspected him to be, a
bast and unprincipled traitor to hi* parly,
an infamous slanderer and a ctntewptiblc
apolojisi for theft and robbery.'
Tiis Growing Important of Sa
vannah-
From the recent statement of cotton
receipts at all the ports to this date,
published by the Republican, we glean
the following :
Tho total receipts foot up 1,480,804
bales, against 1,176,174 to the same
period last year, sh jwing an increase of
312,630 bales.
The receipts of Savannah, have been
proportionally larger than any other
seaport. They show a total to date,
since September, of 320,942 bales, or
100,666 bales more than the preceding
year. Her exports to foreign ports,
also exhibit the gratifying increuse of
66,676 bales over last year, and make a
total of 126,849 bales to date.
The receipts at the four principal
cotton ports to date, are as follows :
New Orleans, 518,302 bales; Savannah,
320, 912 bales ; Mobile, 192,134 bales;
Charleston 152.144 bales.
This is indeed a proud showing for
our own beautiful and fi mrishing com
mercial emporium, which is making
gigantic strides in wealth and popula
tion.
Asa cotton market, no port in Ameri
ca is its equal. Actual experiment will
show that with the abatement of freights,
it is fully up to New York figures, while
tins picking and handling process in that
will leave a margin in favor of Su.
vanrah.
We are g\d to learn also, that the
immense whole sale and j ibhing Houses
which have been established in tho lat
ter city within the past year, aro draw
ing a vast trade to that point. The bus
iness of Savannah in all its departments
has increased to an unprecedented ex'
tent during the present season.
Her tonnage too has only been excell
ed by that of New York.
Surely every Georgian should rejoice
at the goodly prospects of our chief
maratirno city, and strive by his patron
aga to promote its prosperity in every
possible manner.
This is one way to assure the inde
pendence of the South.
BgL A theatrical manager at Madi
son, Wis., would not advertise in the
Democratic paper of the city because
he was a Republican. lie was not
troubled with any disloyal Democrats
at his show, and his own party cleaned
him out by passsing in free. He is
learning his first lesson in business, by
failing on account of his politics.

Ayer’s Cathartic Pills,
For all the purposes of a Laxative
Medicine.
M Perhaps no one Medi
cine is so universally
required by every
body as a cathartic,
nor was ever any,be
i'ore so universally
adopted into use. in
every country and
among all classes, as
this mild but efficient
purgative Pill. The
obvious reason is,
that it is a inoi'e relia
— ble and for more ef
fectual remedy than any other. Those who have
tried it, know that it cured them; those who have
not, know that it cures their neighbors and friends;
and all know that what it does once it does al
ways that it never fails through any fault or neg
glect of its composition. We have thousands upon
thousands of certificates of their remarkable cures
of the following complaints, but such cures are
known in every neighborhood, and we need not
publish them. Adapted to all ages and conditions
m all climates; containing neither calomel nor any
deleterious drug, they may be taken with safety
by anybody. Their sugar-coating preserves them
ever fresh, and makes them pleasant to take, while
being ‘purely vegetable, no harm can arise from
their use in any quantity.
They operate by their powerful influence on the
internal viscera to purify the blood and stimulate
it into healthy action remove the obstructions
of the stomach,bowels, liver, and other organs of
the body, restoring their irregular action to health, .
and by correcting, wherever they exist, such de
rangements as are the first origin of disease.
Minute directions are given in the wrapper on
the box, for the following complaints, which these
Pills rapidly cure:
For liyspciMia or Knrtig-cstion, ListlcM
ncu, lanruoi- and Lon* of Appetite, they
should be taken moderately to stimulate the stom
ach, and restore its healthy tone and action.
For .Liver Complaint and its various symp
toms, Bilious Headache, Sick Heart
ache, Fauailice or Green Sickness, Bil
ious Colic and Bilious Fevers, they should
be judiciously taken for each case, to correct the
diseased action or remove the obstructions which
cause it. .
For Dysentery or Diarrhoea, but one
mild dose is generally required.
For lihi'umatMin. Gout, Gravel, Pal
pitation of the Heart, Bain in the
hide, Back and Loins, they should be contin
uously taken, as required, to change the diseased
action of the system. W ith such change those
complaints disappear.
For Dropsy and Dropsical Swellings
they should be taken in large and frequent doses
to produce the effect of a drastic purge.
''For Muppression a large dose should be
taken as it produces the desired effect by sym
pathy.
Asa Dinner Pill, take one or two Pills to
promote digestion and relieve the stomach.
An occasional dose stimulates the stomach and
bowels into healthy action, restores the appetite,
and invigorates the system. Hence it is often ad
vantageous where no serious derangement exists.
One who feels tolerably well, often finds that a
dose of these Pills makes him feel decidedly bet
ter, from their cleansing and renovating effect ou
the digestive apparatus.
