THE CUTHBERT APPEAL.
HOME AFFAIRS
Pettit Larceny.—A day or two fcince'twD
negroes were wrested, for steuliar some atiicle
from the store of Mr. Jackson, in tbiscity.
After spending the night in the calaboose,
upon confessing the theft, making restitution, and
paying costs, they were disebsged from custody.
Look oct poa I'im —Two or three of the
hangers on of Robinson’s Circus, deserted, while
they were hare, and we learn are stilt prowling

The police should look after and d’spose of

Highway Rokbkuy.— Oo Friday last, an hon
est bard working freed nan from Calhoun Coun.

of bis own color, near the Railroad depot.
It appears they ascertained that the negro had
procured the money on his cotton, for the pur
chase of a mule, and scraping an acquaintance
with hira under pretence of getting employment
on the same plantation, they contrived to purloin
his pocket book, and the cotton receipts of his
employer.
Two of the parties implicated, have been ar
rested, and lodged in the new jail, Imt the third
managed to escape with the money, and Is St,if

Baixbhiimje, Ccthbert and Guixubus Rail
road.— Owing to the severity of the weather
anil the doubt banging over the validity of past
Legislative action under the late reconstruction
Acts, the Randolph county Stock holders failed
to assemble on motiduy as per appointment.
We are gratified however to learn that the
work is progressing finely, and no fears are en
tertained by the Board of the forfeiture of the
charier of the company.
In this connection it is proper to add, that
while our people are deeply mortified and cha
grined at the political course of Col. Bruton in
sustaining the radical senatorial nominee ‘a in
the late election, they have his pledge that poli
ces will no> be p nniite.l to foim any ingredi
ent iu the management and direction of the af
fairs of the company. It is but fair also to ad
mit that he exhibited great industry
and ability in his efforts to build the road. Let
it be remembered likew'ft*, that the continuance
of Col. Bruton in office, will be entirely optional
with the Stockholders themselves at the ap‘
proaebing annual meeting.
Many think that politics should not be allowed
to interfere with the progress and welfare of the
enterprise, and point to the recent appointment
ol Col. llnlbert to the presidency of the Albany
and Brunswick Railroad, as an apposite illustra*
tio«* of tbeir views.
As above stated, this is a question however to
be decided by tbe stockholders themselves nine
tenths of whom are unquestionably opposed to
radicalism iu every form.
Doubtless the whole subject will be carefully
considered, and we are willing to abide by the
ruling of the majority.
It is highly important also that no personal
considerations should be allowed to intefere
with the active prosecution of this gaeat enter
prise, in which we are all so deeply interested.
Ho far as relates? to the payment Jit the in
stallments called for by the Board, the obliga
tion to do so partakes both of a legal aud moral
character. The courts have decided that all
such subscriptions are binding, while justice
and fair dealing demand that the contracts en
tered into and liabilities incurred, should all be
religiously fulfilled and discharg-d.
Let us then take counsel together, and come
up to the work manfully, resolved that it shall
be prosecuted to its final completion, with tbe
least delay possible.
A Fair Proposition.— Some weeks since acer.
tain individual entered tbe store of Geo. C Ban
croft, and carried off his money drawer with its
contents. He has tbe person ‘•spotted,” but be
lieves his conscience has already caused him to
regret so rush an act, and not wishing to expose
dim to public ridicule, he requests us lo say to
the Individual in question, that if he will return
a letter seal, and the private papers which he
found in the drawer, he will withhold his name
Irom tbe public, and let the matter drop.
He would advise this individual to net the
wise part, and leave these articles whore George
cau find them; aud go aud sin no more.
Our New Coc.vrr Jail.—On Saturday last the
Ordinary, and building committee, visited, and
made a critical examination of this new edifice?
after which it was duly received and the keys
turned over by tbe contractors Messrs Brown &
Boynton.
For neatness, strength, durability, and com
fort, we do not believe it can be excelled in the
State.
The walls of this structure, are composed of
two tiers of sawed timbers each 8 inches in thick
ness, and the cells are also encased with sheet iron
let in between the same. In addition, the outside
is covered with inch plank neatly dressed and
painted, and the interior sealed iu like manner.
The windows are protected with three strong
grates set in iron frames, and double doors, one
of which is constructed of transverse iron burs,
lead into each cell.
A comfortable and airy apartment is devoted
to criminals of lesser degree, while provision lias
been made for the solitary confinement of mur
derers aud noted offenders.
Every attention has been paid to comfort and
cleanliness, as n prison is designed not for the
torture, bat safe keeping of its inmates. T'
Below, a comfortable suite of rooms has been
provided for th. janitor, who will reside iu (be
building.
The appearance and proportions of the jail are
imposing, and Messrs. Brown & Boynton deserve
much credit for the faithful performance of their
obligations.
We only regret that they have lost money by
the job. aiu hope that the Grand Jury will take
their case into consideration, and grant them ad.
dilional compel) ation.
A Wonderful SouriiKit.s Discovery.— ln the
South where Liver complaint and oilious dis

long been felt a need of a medicine that would
act specifically and prompt y on the Liver, re
storing it to its norm tl functions, and at the same
time lie Rafts from alter effects, and yet so simple
that it might be used by any one. It is claimed
that DR. TU IT'S VEHS TABLE LIVER PILLS
supplies Ibis want, 'i hey act directly oil the
Liver; their constant use will not injure in the
slightest degiee the most delicate constitution.—
Females at any period may use them witli great
benefit, and real'rise great relief from the distress*
in.:; nausea which they experience at certain
times. These pills are not recommended as a
universal cure-all, but simply for diseased Liver
and those maladies which follow a derangement
of that important organ, such as Dyspepsia
. Sick Headache. Indigestion, Loss of Appetite,
Costiveness, Piles, Jaundice, Sour Stomach, La

Bitter Wkatukb. -The protracted cold of th e
past week seldom finds a parallel in this latitude.
On Sabbath tne wind blew in fierce gusts from
the North, and the earth remained frozen the en.
tire day. That night the mnicury continued to
fall, and real Siberian weather set in.
At sunrise the thermometer marked 18 deg.
Faranbeit, and all of Monday and Tuesday it
was entirely too cold for comfort. Milk froze,
ice formed everywhere, and seemed impervious
to the sun’s rays, aid all who could, sought the
warmth and cheering influences of the domestic
fireside.
The effect upon vegetable gardens and the oat
crop, we tear has been very disastrous. Oats iu
the white sprout were undoubtedly killed, and
the late pluuting will be considerably thinned
out.
As far as we Can learn, the peach crop suffer
ed but little injury. Strange to say the blooms
were less forward in this region titan in Middle
Georgia. o.i even as far North us New Jersey.—
We have noticed that in consequence of the al
titude of our city, anil tue peculiar dryness of
the atmosphere, the winter climate is Tar colder
than iu situations farmer North, which are
rnoister and less elevutea.
This may account ror the salubrity aud supe
rior healtlifillness of Cuthbert.
Tender qgg tables were either killed oubight
or badly damaged. Anew stock of seeds will
be required to meet the demand.
The upheaval aud freezing of the earth wilj
assist the farmer in the preparation of bis land
by thoroughly pulverizing the soil, and we hope
this remarkable spell will prove the harbinger
of an early spring and abundant harvests.

We invite attention to the poetical effu
sions from the pens of Lady and Lord Byron, to
be found oa the 4th page of this issue.
The late revelations of Mrs. Stowe, have given
a painful interest to tbe’histbry of the great poet,
and libertine. It is impossible to sta'e how
much of truth attaches to tbe ill-timed and un
fortunate allusions of the author of Uncle Tom’s
Cabin.
Lady Byron was a woman of ardent impulses
and somewhat of a blue stocking. It is a noted
fact that literary women are seldom happy with
their husbands. Letters seem to individualize,
and attract the female mind Irom the dutie* of
her legitimate sphere. Hence the electric chain
of sympathy between loving hearts, i? often cor
roded or even sundered by the absorbing pas.-i.in
for books and works of art. We admire genius
but beg to be delivered from a purely literary
wife. In her is seldom to be found the watchful'
tender mother, aDd loving partner.
To return to <ftir subject: One evil which 'as
grown out of this Stowe denouement is tbe in
creased interest which has been awakened in be
half of the brilliant butyjangerous maa, who is
the subject of her animadversions.
Publishers have hardly been able to keep pace
with the demand for Lord Byron’s works. This
is a calamity. Fcr. Satan himself could hardly
exert a more weird and potent influence for
evil over the minds and imaginations of the
young, than this wonderful man.
The old rule still obtains, 'that persecution is
the life of any person or principle.
We hope the whole affair will at once be con
signed to oblivion.

•The Era reports a sp ! endid reception
given by Mr. and Mrs. Foster Blodgett
od the evening after his election, at
which were present “many prominent
men of the Democratic party !’ Won't
somebody be “read out” soon ? That’s
worse than the Editor of the Star at
tending a Radical Mass Meeting.’
So wags the wag of the Griffin Star,
and he wags correctly. Democrats who
attend Bullock’s and Blodgett’s revels
of prostitution should be discarded from
decent circles, and those of them who
profane the purity of their own house
holds, by requiring their wives and
daughters to accompany them, should
be held to rigid accountability to socie
ty for encouraging its debauchery by of
fering a premium for the “social evil.” A
reception at the “Beer Jerker’s ’ saloon,
or in the gilded palaces of the demi
monde, would be quite as respectable,
and scarcely less hazardous to the “vir
tuous seeming” of decent white women.
But were there any respectable Demo-'
crats at Blodgett’s reception ? We have
no evidence ol it except the statement of
two lying newspapers who lie lbra live
lihood, and love vice for its coinage.
The following commuaication to the
Constitution raises the question of ve
racity, ar.d calls for proof. If t[ie names
are not given the Intelligencer wiil stand
convicted of falsehood. If they are, the
cap we throw to the pack may be
worn by those whom it fits :
To the Editor of The Constitution: In
the Intelligeucer, of yesterday, appears
the following statement in connection
with Blodgett’s reception :
■ “The Democrats in attendance, of
whom there were a large number, paid
their respect in appreciation of the po
litical adversary who had been success
ful over them, and whom also, socially,
and as a gentleman, with his estimable
family, they recognize as entitled to all
the courtesies of refined society.”
If tins be true, I know of nothing
more disgraceful that could be laid at lAie
door of Democrats; but, sir, there are
those who have reason to doubt the cor
rectness of the statement. Rigid inqui
ry has not yet disclosed the name of a
single Democrat who participated in
that Rsdico-African wine bibbing! Will
you please ask the Intelligencer to sub
stantiate its statement by giving names ?
I am unwilling that Democrats should
thus be traduced. I want the proof.

A Good Word for Savannah. —The
Buinbridge Argus, which is ever ready
to give a friendly, “lift” to our go-ahead
city, copies the Republican's article on
the Spring Trade, and adds :
Wo are gratified to learn that interior
merchants are beginning to appreciate
the advantages offered by Savannah
wholesale houses over those of New
York, being entirely satisfied that their
inteiests demand Unit they should pur
chase goods, not only in the South from
their political friends, who, with them
selves, are interested in the recuperation
of our impoverished section, but at an
accessible market, vvliere, w tliout risk
or injury to their business, they might
replenish their stocks, at pleasure, when
ever their sales demand it.
Veiy lew S', uthern merchants en
gaged*!!! the reta.l trade have but limi
ted means, and are able to lie out of
the use ot a portion of their capital in
unsalable goods; and all merchants
who bay their good at a distance nec
essarily purchase many goods which lie
on their bunds during the whole season,
or, for a year or more, which is that
much taken from flair protifs, and, il
their means are inconsiderable, endan
gering their success.
Merchants fail, not because they sell
their goods 100 low, but because they
fail to sell them at all.
Let. the merchants of the interior ol
Georgia, Florida mid Alabama, who are
accessible lo Savannah by railroad,“
purchase their goods in Savannah, lay
ing in at a time only enough to meet the
present and. mauds of their patrons, sell
ing strictly for the cash, aTid replenislrtng*
their slock as Occasion require ; and, our
word for it, they will not only do a sale
business, but at the end of twelve months
they will find their business has been a
paying one, ana that the highway of
prosperity is opening up beloie them.
Due considei atiun and iuvestigat.on
of the merits of the question will con
vince any one, not able to purchase more
thus» a tew thousand dollars worth ol
goods at a time, that Savannah is much
preferable as a market for them than
either New York or Baltimore. These
are our candid sentimeuts; and we led
confident that in appealing for Savan
nah, we are appealing for our people
and section and State.

IS?* We arc in the receipt of a pam
phlet containing the arguments of Hon.
J. H. Caldwell, and J. E. Bryant, be?
fore the Judiciary committee of the
United States Senate.
These Republican witnesses make a
rare exhibit of the fraud, usurpation,
and high handed oppression of the dom
inant wing of their party.
Caldwell is sharp, logical and fear?
less. He is moreover one of tbe most
persistent and indefatigable men in the
State, and will ventilate Bul’ock’s
swindling programme most effectually.
Bryant too, is evidently on the war
path, and thus denounces the course of
the outsider Harris, the attack upon
himself, and tbe conduct of Bullock and
Terry.
. Mr. Harris would not recognize my
right to speak, although I was a duty
elected member of the house and he
was not, arid had no legal right to be
where he was. I disputed his right to
dictate to me, a representative of the
people j and he ordered two fellows to
arrest me, whom he called sergeants-at
arms. I refused to bo arrested by
them, and one of them drew a pistol to
shoot me. There was a scene of con
fusion which I will not attempt to de
sciibe. It is said that I was excited.—
I presume I was, if the indignation I
felt manifested itself in my appearance.
It was evident that a majority of the
members were opposed to the course
pursued bv Bl dgett, Harris, and their
allies, and we appealed to General Ter
rjn, He pronounced their proceedings
outrageous, and prevented the further
reading, of the protests. The enormity
of the offence will be apparent to you
when you remember that we were duly
elected representatives of the people,
summoned iu conformity with a law of
Congress to meet and organize the
house to which we belonged, and that
a man acting without authority of law
assumed to dictate to us what we should
say, and because we refused to recog.
nize his authority appointed men to ar
rest us—men who had no more right to
do so than the man who appointed
them. Do you ask why we permitted
this man thus to violate your law ? I
answer, that General Terry endorsed
the action of Governor Bul'ock, and
thus behind this man Harris stood the
military power of this Republic. Sup
pose that President Johnson, a few
months tig >, when he wished to control
the action of Congress, had been able
to overpower tbe majority by military
force, what would have been the result ?
What would have become of our liber
ties ? General Terry put a stop to
some of the arbitrary acts of Harris,
but our organization was delayed, and
Harris refused to allow the house to
perfect its organization in conformity
with law, according to the provision of
the act of Congress. The organization
of the house would have been perfected
in two days but for the illegal interfer
ence of Governor Bu lock. It was,
however, eighteen days before it was
organized. During that time there was
not a day passed but that the act of
Congress was openly, wilfully violated
The Late Mr. Peabody. — Ihe pre
servation of the remains of the late Mr.
Peadody was entrusted to the hands of
Dr. P?vy. The piocess carried out
consisted in injecting - the whole body
through the arteries with a strong solu
tion of Arsenic, containing also some
bichjorrde of mercury. Twenty-four
hours afterwards another liquid, con
sisting of a saturated solution of tannic
acid was thrown in with the view of ef
fecting Hie gradual conversion of the
gsjfitinous structures into the tannogel
atine, or the basis of leather. None of
the viscera were removed or disturbed ;
and before the opening into the chest,
required for the injection practised
through the aorta was closed, an arsen
ical paste, or rather cream. consisting
of arsenic, camphor, and. spirit, was in
troduced into the thoracic cavity, and
al-n through an opening in the dia
phragm into the cavity of the abdomen,
and freely distributed about. Death
had taken place about two days and a
half before the process Was commenced,
and decomposition had set in sf> as to
produce great distension of the abdo
men ; but the process was found to check
all this, and when completed, all signs
of a tendency to decomposition were
removed. We may add that under the
silk shroud and upon the floor of the
coffiu there was placed a bed of well
burnt animal charcoal — Lancet.
Heroism of a Yocng Lady. —Eunice
Redman, the daughter of a Jackson

chamber window. Peering out, she saw
a man slowly useen ling a ladder which
he had placed in position with the evi
dent intention of entering her apart
ment. Being a young lady of spirit and
resolution, she instantly decided on her
course of action. Keeping out of sight
and very quiet until the man was some
fifteen feet from the ground, she leaned
out, grasped the top of the ladder, and
instantly threw it over. The fellow
gave a yell of horror, which awoke the
male members of the family, who, on
rushing to the scene of the midnight dis

Duel in New York—Exciting
Sword Combat
A duel with broad swords occurred in
New York city, at an early ho nr Mon--
day morning, between Senor Francisco
de Porto, a young Cuban, and Mr.
George Proude, a yoong Englishman
of some means and good standing. De
Porto, it will be remembered, was se
verely wounded last summer in a duel
fought with pistols by Senor De Conto,
editor of the Spanish journal El Cronista.
The origin of the present duel was a
slur throwq by Proude upon the Cuban
Junta, who, he intimated, were living
like cowards on the struggles of the pat*
riots. The fight was arranged to take
place in a room in a fashiouuble house
in West Nineteenth street, and thither,
at a late hour Sunday night, the comba
tants, with their friends, repaired. By
two o'clock a. m. all preliminaries were
completed. An account contains the
following description of the fight:
A dead silence ensued, while an ashy
paleness seemed to be the prevalent
complexion of every man in the room.
The word was given and the duelists
crossed swords, and having taken three
paces backwards, the tight commenced.
At first a slight timidity was apparent on
both sides—not so much timidity, per
haps, as tho nervous expectation inci
dent to the opening of the encounter. —
Finally, alter some little hesitation, De-
Porto advanced, Proude meanwhile on
the alert to receive him. The scene
was exciting. All at once the few spec
tators were startled by a sudden cut
made by Proude at the head of his op
ponent., who, however, deftly parried
and retired a pace or two. Up to the
had observed a compara
tively serene demeanor, but it was evi
dent the duel could not be a prolonged
one, each being bent on a deadly strike
Having again crossed, great skill was
displayed by both, their eyes Hashing
with fire and endeavoring, as it were, to
penetrate each other’s intent.
Admirable swordsmanship was dis
played, the cuts being rapid, well direc
ted and parried with precision. Up to
the present, which was about five min
utes from the commencement, Da Porto
had escaped with a slight scratch on tho
chest. Proude being unharmed, when
suddenly De Porto offering a tempting
chance, Proude advanced upon him and
inflicted a dioganal cut upon the right
thigh. It was a fatal move for Proude,
for no sooner had he leaned forward to
make the cut than, with lightning ra
pidity, De Porto followed up the contra
filio, gashed his opponent on the right
shoulder, causing a wound some five in
ches in length and about one and a half
inch in depth. His sword arm was dis
abled. Proude dropped his blade ex
claiming, "Enough for to day; you will
give me my revenge another time," to
which De Porto replied, "I am always at
your disposition.”
Subsequently the parlies shook hands
and the wounds were examined.. That
inflicted on De Porto, though some
eight inches in length, was scarcely a
quarter of an inch in depth, while
Pro tide’s was of a serious character, the
blood streaming from it in profusion.—
He was immediately conveyed to his
residence in Brooklyn, where the prbper
assistance was procured.
Ecfaula Secures Her Subscription.—
On the 12th the citizens of Barbour
county voted a subscription of $300,•»
000 to the Brunswick & Vicksburg
Railroad. The vote was nearly unani
mous, and was attended with marked
enthusiasm.
This subscription, with the State aid
of SIO,OOO per mile, is to continue the
Brunswick & Albany lino to Meridian,
to intersect with the Meridian and
Victofiurg Road, and is a part of the
Air-une Southern Pacific across the
cotton belt. It is an important link,

WE are now prepared to furnish this INVALUABLE COMPOUND, in
lots to suit Planters, at SIXTY-THREE DOLLARS PER TON, Cash ; or
SEV ENTY—THREE DOLLARS PER TON, payable Ist November, with
faelors acceptance.
Being manufactured in our own city by Messrs. WM. SCHLEY & CO.
and endorsed by the first Planters of the State as a FIRST-CLASS FERTIL
IZER, we can recommend it with the utmost confidence to the public.
As an evidence of its value, we have collected from a large number of cer
tificates the following ;
_ _ . _ „ ~ Albany, Ga., November 7th, 1869.
W. Schley & Co.—Gentlemen : Your letter oT the 6th instant is at hand, and I hasten to reply
I am much pleased with your Fertilizer, and take great pleasure iu adding my testimony to its valuable
qualities. lam cow satisfied that where I used two huoai ed and fifty pounds per acre on cotton the
yield has been increased at least fifty per Gent. In thU year’s experiments it excelled Dixou’a Forinu'-,
and to show you my estimation of its value as a Fertilizer, you can send me one bunded tons within
the next month. Truly yours, B. q. LOCKETT.
_ „ . _ _ „ T ... Albany, Oa.. Noverabei-6th, 1869.
WM. Schley A Co.—Gentlemen : I parchased a few tons of your Georgli fertilizer lust veal
which I applied to fifiy acres of land in cotton, at the rate of two hundred and fifty pounds per acre
The land was broken from eight to ten inches and ihe Fertilizer applied at the bottom of the bed Iha
yield was very satisfactory. I shall gather over thirty bales of coiton from the field. Without manure
with common preparation, it would not have yielded over six or eight hundred pounds pec acre. With
good seasons it would have made one bale of five hundred pounds per acre. Your Fertilizer excelled an v
other that I used in producing a weed one-third It) one-fourth larger; and but for the fact that the eeed
used wag poor and mixed, the yield of fruit would have been greater than any other cotton grown by
me. lam satisfied that your Fertilizer is valuable, and will stand a drought better than any other fer
til zer used in my section. lam sure that on tny land, with proper preparation, good culture and tb-ea
hundred pounds of your Fertilizer, with ordinary seasons, I can make one bale ol cotton per acre, and I
shall be a customer of youfs for the oext year. Truly yours, D. A VASON.

Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral,
For Diseases of the Throat aud Dungs,
such as Coughs, Colds, Whooping
Cough, Bronchitis, A stttnta,
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 romody for pulmonary complaints.
Through along scries of years, and among most
of the races of men it has risen higher and higher
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 he given for incip
ient consumption, and the dangerous affections
of the throat and lunge. Asa provision against
sudden attacks of Croup , it should be kept oh
hand in every family, and indeed a6 all are some
times subject to colds and coughs, ail should be
provided with this antidote for them.
Although settled Consumption is thought in
curable, still great numbers of cases Vtftere the
disease seemed settled, hare been completely
cured, and the patient restored to sobnd 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 Public Speakers And great
protection from it.
Asthma is always relieved and oflen wholly
cured by it.
Bronchitis r is generally cured by taking the
Cherry Pectoral in small and frequent doses.
So generally are its virtues known, that we
heed not publish the certificates of them here, or
db more than assure the public that its qualities
are fully maintained.
Ayer’s Ague Cure,
For Fever and Ague, Intermittent Fever,
Chill Fever, Remittent Fever, Dumb
Ague, Periodical or Bilious Fever, &0.,
and indeed, all the affections which arise
from malarious, marsh, or miasmatic
poisons.
As its na me implies, It does Cure, and does nbt
fail. Containing neither Arsenic, Quinine, Bis
muth, Zinc, nor any other mineral or poisonous
substance whatever, it in nowise injures any pa
tient. The number and importance of its cures
in the ague districts, are literally beyond account,
and we believe without a parallel m the history
of Ague medicine. 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 AG VP C VHP daily.
For Liver Complaints, arising from torpid
ity of theXiver, it is an excellent remedy, stimu
lating the Liver into healthy activity.
For Bilious Disorders and Liver Complaints, it
is an exceUent remedy, producing many truly
remarkable cures, where other medicines had
failed.
