Iho is resolved at least to try to make
s Journal worthy of public, patronage.
We know that it is impossible to

Tho Publisher of this paper has of.
ired a prize at most beautiful and

ie greatest number of bona fide, pay

Let us hope that a generous einula.
ion among the moral young-men of this
ommunity will result in darge additions
o our lists.
The Appeal is no longer an experi
nent. It is absolutely and wholly free
rom debt, and “ dead heads,” and pan
iers to no one. Our charges are mod
irate, but will not be abated even toso
mrc the patronage of travelling oirouss
ss and exhibitions.
Honest labor should have its reward,

Thanks to an Appreciating public
whose favors arc gratefully acknowl.

our own among our contemporaries of
the State.
With the approach of the dull sum
mcr solstice, may wo not still count
upon your generous support ? To the
rescue dear friends, and double und
quadruple •our roll of subscribers. You
can do So with but little effort.
To our merchants also, wo promise to
urge their claims for patronage before
the people, and pledge onrselves,as hith
erto, to labour without eeusing for the
welfare of our beautiful city.
We publish the following dis~
patch to the N. Y. Democrat, for what
it is worth, but with gold buying in Sa
vannah at 110, cannot help believing
thut it possesses some significance.
Yet from the outlook of things—the
continued high prices of almost every
commodity, the past juggling in the
gold market, the desperate legislation
of the country, and the general uncer
tainty which overhangs everything—wo
»ro forced to believe thut ere long, gold
will tend upward again.
Specie times always carry with them
peace, security, prosperity, and a pleth
ora es money. Can any one say we en
joy these now ?
Philadelphia , March Considerable
excitement has been produced here by
the publication of a notice by' R promi
nent firm that they were prepared id
Mil at gold prices, and give chango in
■ilver coin for greenbacks at par. The
movement causes a great deal of stir,
and it is understood that olher large,
firms are preparing to imitate the exam
pie. It iH confidently affirmed that the
bulk of the trade ot the city will be
transacted on a specie basis, within the
present month.
K&- The late mas-sacre of the Piegan
Indians in Montano, by Col. Baker and
a detachment of U. S. Troops, under
orders irom Glen. Sheridan, can scarce
ly be paralleled in the annals of Coman
chee atrocities.
Ninety throe helpless women and 50
children under 12 years of age, many
of ibein ill with small pox, were sur
prised in their winler quarters, and bru
tally murdered. Ouly 30 able to bear
arms were killed.
Such a tale of horror will curdle the
blood of the civilized world.
These blue belly braves got their
hand in during the late war, and to
murder and 6teal is second nature with
them. Wonder if a salute was fired at
the capitol grounds in Washington, in
honor of this glorious victory ?
BgV A disastrous fire occurred in
Macon on tho 4th inst., destroying two

To a large proportion of our readers,
the present banking system of the Uni*,
ted States is a profound mystery. In
deed it is surprising how few are ac
quainted v ith the general theory of
banking, and the nature of the profits
real.zed by these institutions. We
shall confine our present article howey.
er, to a glimpse at what are denomina
ted “national banks.”
Any party, provided he is “trooly loil,”
and has influence sufficient at court, by
the purchase and deposit in tlie Treasu
ry, of United States bonds to the amount
of SIOO,OOO, may set up a “national
bank.”
Upon making this deposit, beis per
mitted to draw $90,000 in gteenbacks
from the Treasury, tlie remaining $lO,
000 being retained as a so r l of collater
al security or ‘bonus.
Now mark the fact; besides receiv
ing. this largo sum for banking opera
tions, the fortunate depositor is permit
ted to draw semi-annnally or otherwise,
tho regular interest which accrues upon
his SIOO,OOO of U. S. bonds.
lie commences businee "therefore with
the certain ineotue of -6 or 7 per cent «p*
on his entire capital, before he invests a
dollar of the ninety thousand is current
cy, which has baen paid him from the
Treasury. With this sum however he
now opens his bank, and besides doing
a regular banking business, lends mon
ey at from 12 to 24per cent per annum,
usually at Hhort time, and upon am
ple real, and personal security. The
bills of these concerns nr» protected
and guaranteed by the U S. Govern*
tnent, and tlie amount issued duly regu
lated'by law. Hence no loss can euure
to the bill holder, by the failure of a
bank iu consequence of bud investments.
■Tlie regular income upon the bonds
on deponit tlierefore, in addition to the
high rate -of interest charged for loans,
and the interest upon thut interest,
weieb is -collected every 60 or 90 days,
aggregate of suffi
cient to satisfy even the most rapacious.
But we are assured, many who obtain
chat ters or permits for banks after de*
positing the requisite umouut of bonds,
draw the prescribed sum in our-rency,
and fail to establish any bank after
wards. They -simply go South, where
money is scarce and will command al
most any price, and lend out, or specu
late with-$90,000 which has beeu ad
vanced to them. Who could desire a
better start -ill business than this ?
Tlie above embraces in a nutshell the
working of the National Bank system,
and explains why the preponderance of
banking capital, is so largely jn favor of
the North. Our people are too poor t<»
buy the bonds which must be deposited
us a basis for operating.
The fui ther elaboration of this sub
ject,-must be reserved for a subsequent
article. •
A Detestable Practice.
We learn thut in numerous instances
planters have been stripped of their la
boring force, by the machinations of
aoightiors or other interested parties.
The toe# credulous f'reedman is either
prejudiced against his employer by slan
derous statements, or lured away under
promise of higher wages, or a larger
share of the crop. Those who look
after the morals and conduct of their
employees,and inpose salutary restraints
upon them, for tire good of society, and
their own welfare, are apt to bo the
greatest sufferers.
It is well known that the negro is now
•impatient of the least shadow of re
straint, and has very faint conceptions
of the obligations of a contract.
The white apprentice and factory op
erative, are required to commence work
with the rising sun, and labor, without
ceasing, for a given number of hours,
during six days of the week. The for
mer, if under age, is even chastised or
punished otherwise, for any misdemean
or, hy his employer.
How stands it with the freedmen ?
If absent from work without leave,
or performing any duty in a negligent
manner, even the slightest rebuke is re -
ceived in high dudgeon and resented as
an insult.
Hence, almost every day in the w’eek
at the busiest seasons, scores of freed
men may be ob-erved on our streets, to
the sore detriment of their employers.
For such conduct white men would
be discharged, or held accountable for
the loss of time. In the negro, it is
very generally overlooked, however, so
that it is a received fact that less than
two-thirds of average work is all that
can be relied upon from a majority of
them, Those who attempt to correct
these evils are denounced for it, and find
it difficult to sectiff? laboref%j'
Again,we have positive evidence, that
the most infamous measures are resorted
to by unprincipled men, to seduce from
their employers, those who have been
regularly <yig tged for the year.
Such conduct should be frowned upon
by all honest men, and severely punish,
ed by the courts. Especially should
there be perfect concert of action be
tween all upright planters, upon the
proper enforcement of labor contracts.
Let any and every one who gives em
ployment to those who have violated”
their obligations to others, be punished
by immediate prosecution.
This alone will teach the ignomnt
freedman, that his contract is not a mere
rope of sand to be annulled at pleasure,
and that a violation of the same will re
sult in the permanent loss of employ
ment, and consequent starvation.
Os course the planter should also be
held to the strict letter of his contract,
and the same rule be even more rigidly
enforced against him, as the better in*
formed of the two.
We believe our juries are disposed to
do this, and that thp rights of the weak
er party will be fully sustained by the
courts. Such at least should be the
case, and n healthy public sentiment
v. ill 60 decide. ~
*our Eailr-ead Enterprise
"We arc-surprised to see ‘by the last
Girth belt Appeal that many of the stock
holders of the Bairthrtdge, Cnthhert and
Columbus "Railroad are becoming dis
satisfied on account of the Radicalism
°£ President Bruton-; and tho editor
-finds it necessary, in order to prevent
injury to the enterprise from the ex
pressed dtssatisfaction, from this source,
in that section, to write an elaborate ap
peal to the better sense of his readers
in b half of the road, urging the stock-
I o ders not to peril the interests of the
company by lugging in extraneous mat
ters which have not) lag whatever to
do with the great task before them.—
Indeed, at maybe a fortunate circum
stance, after aft, under the existing state
of our political affairs, that the 'Presi
dent ol the Company is an extreme
Radical, enjoying the confidence of our
rulers at Atlanta.
We opposed the organization of the
Company, in the outset, alone on ac
count of Bruton’s election to the Presi
dency df the Board, fearing that his
Radical record, and personal Tin pop n
I stray on that account, would seriously
endanger the sin cess of the project.—
But the subsequent -history of bhe un
dertaking and the unanimity character
ising the movements of the people at
this errd of the road, together with the
end of tho -evident purpose <tf Hruton
to do a Win the power of a human to in
»ure the building of the road, indn
ced us to believe that the organization
of the board was fortunate, and that
the people were becoming reconciled
to it.
Capt. Benjamin F. Bruton, is one of
the moat enterprising, energetic, intel
ligent business hien we know of in this
section of the State, and is evidently
doing fns whole duty as I'resident of
tbe baiubridge, Cluthhert and Columbus
Railroad, and if property sustained by
the citizens of the countries along the
line of -the road, there can be no reason
able doubt Os its success, and, early
completion to Cuthbert.
The present political status of the
South is cruoi yiug to tire time men hf
our section, and it is not to be wonder
ed at that smiling under the ii-tiuenoe
of some new outrage and diabolism,
they should permit their indignation to
get the mastery over their better judg
ment, and, for the moment, forget that
their interest and that of the communi
ty, demands a submission to what can
not possibly be avoided. "“Discretion”
is said to be the “better part of valor,”
and in seeking the dcvelopeuumt of our
.State and the recovery of our lost for
tunes it is the dictate of true wisdom
to jrvail ourselves of the material at
hand, which, if we hope for success,
must be used; none other being avail
ati e.
President Bruton has done well thus
far—indeed, we believe he has done his
whole duty as the chief officer of this
road—and we are disposed to believe,
when the time conies for a re-election of
the Board of Directors, should the stock
holders look to the best interests of the
road, that lie will probably be elected
as D, rector, and the Board re-confer
Upon him the position lie now holds.-
Tho matter in hand is not ur.e of poli
ties or of personal preferences, but the
building of a railroad from Bairibringe to
Columbus; and the only legitimate ques
'tion to be asked, before the election of
an officer or the employment of a band,
is : Is he capable and reliable ? And no
one cuu say that President Bruton does
not till this bill. He does more :he is
a Radical, and has influence with his
party, which now controls the legisla
tion of the State.
We present the above suggestions
for the consideration of the friends of
this idi important, enterprise, and with
no other view than to premote its truest
and best interests. Nor is there a man
in the South more opposed to radical
ism mid scalawags limn we are; but
our opposition is to Radicalism, and not
to the developement of our section, and
the building of railroads where they
are needed, even though it should In
expedient to employ Radicals, black or
white, in building them.
We commend the above article from
the Uainbridge Argus, to the serious
consideration of our readers,
We know, personally, that Mr. Rus
sel, the able and most worthy editor of
that journal, was inflexib’y opposed to
the election of Major Biuton, to the po
sition he now occupies, as President ot
the Bainbridge, Guihhert and Columbus
Railroad. His opposition even cost him
tho advertising patronage of that gen
tleman. But Mr. Russell is honest and
conscientious, and we give President
Bruton the benefit of his testimony.—
Should the latter be re elected, we shall
support his administration with all the
zeal and ability at our command, so
long as he continues faithful to the trusts
confided to him, and does not permit
politics to influence his appointments.
While we loathe the radicalism of the
gentleman, we do not dispute the tact
and ability which he has displayed in
the conduct of tbe road. Nor are we
prepared to say, that abstract political
questions should be allowed to interfere
with the completion of this great work.
Whatever, tberi, may be tho action of
the meeting of Stockholders, we shall
continue to give our earnest and undi
vidod support to tho officers of the road,
whoever they may chance to be.
The Uuthbeft Appeal will
please let us know clearly what it
means by all its twaddle in an article
in its last issue headed Biinbridge, Cuth
b**rt, and Columbus Railroad.—Bain
brt ago Suit.
We are not id the habit of replying
to interrogatives propounded in the
spirit of the above.
For once we shall deviate from that
rule however, and answer the Sun, that
we mean that our people have no fancy
for radicalism in Capt. Bruton or any
ofte else { that we support his adminis
tration despite that ingredient in his
character, inflsoueed by other qualifica
tions which he possesses, but are resol
ved to be right on, the record.
More overj that if the Bun can en
dure the election of Biodgett, Farrow
and Wlikely, which might possibly be
inferred from his snubbing us so sav
agely, then we have no use for our con
temporary also.
We will *ot be so uncharitable as to
make this charge however, but in turn
would like to “know clearly what it
means” in tho premises.
Our article was intended to condemn
the illustrious trio alluded to, while at
the same time it took ground in fa
vor of the road, even with Capt. Bruton
at the head of it.
Can Mr. Ilayseay as macb ? We
hope so.
Spirit of (ha tieorgia Press.
The Cuthbert Appeal (Dem.) under
takes to instruct farmers as to their in
terest and duty. 4t would be a good
thing if some of these -Democratic edi
tors would quit writing aufl turn their
attention to the cultivation of the soil !
The same paper is still in favor Os re
pudiating the National Debt. It says:
‘•The war debt, which, in its villain,
ous details was a fraud even upon the
North itself, is in no sense a Southern
obligation.”
That s not new. “Brick Pomeroy”
said the same in 1865.
The Appeal -continues':
■‘‘The taxes under which we groan for
the benefit of the bond holders, and the
host of Northern army contractors who
fattened upon tlie carnage of the late
ervi! war, are submitted to, for the same
reason thut the defenceless traveler de
livers,his purse at the demand of the
highwayman. When au outraged North
shall inaugurate reform, with the ballot,
our people of every race and color will
march in serried ranks to the hustings,
and an nowee their verdict. 1 ’
And yet the “ Democracy” claims to
he a National party. Indiscreet edit >rs
are sometimes great stumbling blocks
[as well as blockheads per s«J to the
success of their own parly.
We would simply inform this -new
radical light, who has indeed rfae cred
it if report be true, of inaugurating
a new era in j lurnalism, by levying block
mail upon its Black confreres in tho em
ployment of the State Road, that epi
thets and personalities are ussuuily the
refuge of the week in their last extrem
ity.
Now for tbe “ blockhead per te ” io
-sinnation*we might in return call our
contemporary a Swiss x a modern Dal
getty whoso pen and sword are ever at
the service of the best paymaster —a
leech filling hitnself from the blood of"
the body politic—a boot lick ever bow
ing and scraping in tbe path ot Bullock
and Terry. We -might add the word
nnscegenator jx.rhaps.and a score of oth
er descnijutive terms, concerning which
there might be more truth thaw fiction
ia the opinion of many, but we forbear;
Argument should never bo pointed
with abase. And we merely wish to
show our IshmueHteth friend what could
be done in the way of retort if we
were malaeious enough.

Meningitis -This mysterious and much
dreaded noladv, is making fearful pro
gress in various portions of the State.—
In Coffee county, 115 persons have fal
!en victims to it, and in Upson and
Crawford counties it is also proving
very fatal. Cases are reported in ila
eon and Savannah likewise.
Thus far, no settled treatment for its
cure seems to have been devised. In
cne instance bloud letting appears to
have affbitled great relief.
From onr intelligent fellow towns
man Dr. MeLester, we have • gathered
many interesting facts connected with
this new disease, which made its first
appearance on this continent at Mont
gomery Alabama, several years since,
and was carefully investigated by the
Doctor.
Patients are usually first affected
with a pain m the neck and head, w
afterwards results in inflammation of
the brain. No disease, not even yel
low fever or cholera is more fatal. The
sufferer often lingers for many days.
There is no fear of contagion, so no
danger is incurred by attendance upoD
the sick.
The complaint seems to be atmos
pheric, pervading whole counties and
districts of country. it originated in
Strasburgh, Germany about the year
1848.
Shall WeJSell Our Cotton ?—This
question continues to be propounded to
r.s almost every hour of the day.
A satisfactory answer is simply im
possible. If you are rich and owe noth
ing, then the experiment of holding can
be made with safely. If however debts
are maturing or already due, the path
of duty as well as honor, should impel
you to realize at once.
We have no right to speculate, and
incUr risks with that we cannot call
our own; and if debts and obligations
have l>een contracted, predicated upon
our cotton crops, they should be sold
at once to meet these demands. Every
cent of decline renders you worse off,
and even if a reaction should ensue be
fore next Fail, can you honorably delay
selling until then ?
In contemplating your own troubles,
be not so selfish as to forget the trials
of others, caused perhaps by your own
want of promptness.
Tinder rill circumstances, honesty, is
indeed the best policy.
Tiir Gold Panic and A T. Stew
arts Coup ds Main.— An announce
ment was made several days since, that
A. T. Stewart of New York would sell
priuts and other styles of goods at gold
prices, abroad, and give silver change
for greenbacks
A similar declaration was made by a
Philadelphia house. The Now York
Mercantile Journal exooses the whole
thing, and says it was what is termed a
“drive” or dodge on the part of Stew
art, to distance competition and increase
his own business.
The ruse reso; tod to consisted in of
fering small lots of goods, ocly a few
pieces at a time, and then when the rush
was made to secure bargains, a tariff of
ten or 15 p.F cent, was immediately
added.
Such finessing is highly dishonorable
in commercial circles.
Tho belief is becoming general, that
gold will soon react again, and that no
serious full in prices will take place for
months to come.
Even if greenbacks reached par, epo
cic payments could not be resumed at
onee, and gold must continue to fluctu
ate in value, and be affected by all the
vicissitudes of political events.
We still believe that the present pan
io is the work of design, on tbe part of
stock jobbers, speculat ts, and cotton
buyers. We shall see.
