TEKS THE TBUTH AXO SPARES NOT, —It WAS Olll'
privilege on Sabbath last to listen to an able aud
searching discourse from Rev. E. McGehep, the
p;istor of the Methodist Church of this city.
Mr. McGehee, it will be remembered, is tbfc
successor of file gifted and popular Rev. J. 0-
A. Cook, who is one of the most amiable aud
promising yonng men in his denomination.
When, accorning to Metbodistical usage, the
revolving year, with the meeting of Conference'
sundered the pastoral relations of this gentleman,
in common with those of a hundred faithful
ministers, many of whom were in the fit 1 meri
dian of tiieir usefulness, a feeling of sadness and
bereavement prvuded the entire community.
Under the mingled sensations of regret and in
dignution which succeeded, we verily believe
the preaching of St ©anl himself, would have
failed at once to afford perfect satisfaction.
Hard indeed then was the ordeal through which
Mr. McGehee was compelled to jiass. Like a
Christian hero, however, he encountered every
obstacle, and by the conscientious and faithful
discharge of his duties, has fairly fought himself
into *he confidence and affections of his people.
the subject Os the discourse referred to, was
drawn 'from Matthew 2lft chapter, an& 3J(h

Chroa cle. February 26tuj
It.is one of the* anomalies of the fi
naneiul situation tiiat our merchants
cannot forecast the future premium on
£old, and at a critical period like the
present gold ranges m the market some
liftV per cent, beiovy where rt stood five
mouths ayo the question is anx - -
inuslv-h. Bi don all sides, wit! the price
,jr\ i tmvei, or "ill there be a reaction to a
higher pi int ? Tire most conflicting ar*-
guments are used on the opposite sides
nf the controversy. Into these contests
we do not need just now to ent.-r. it
will 'better -serve the pteSent purpose to
point oat Home things on which both
parses are agreed.
Atnl, in the tii-st place it is on all sides
conceded that there is a normal premium
for gold oucT greenbacks, if we could
only discover it, and tiiat this "normal or
absolute price is the point to which the
market price of gold will always tend.
So soon as any disturbing forces are
removed, which cause temporary aberra
tions this equilibrium will strive to te
establish itself, and gold will rise or fall
to its prope.t level.
Secondly) it is agreed that the ratio
between greenbacks and gold is gov
erned by the lesser or gieuter amount
of depredut on of onr paper currency.
And as depreciation means redo rid n :y,
it. "olloft's that the Vange of the goal
premium i** higher or lower according
as the volume of the currency is
mented. and other things equal, the
price rrf g'dd rises •and falls according
as the current of life circulating money
is greater or less than is demanded lor
the legitimate wauts of business on a
specie basis.
Third y, it is notorious that the vol
ume of the currency has received no de
crease ol such a serums nature since
September last as to force a fall in gold
of filly, ‘or even thirty or twenty per
cent.
Fourth y the causes of the fall in gold
being outside of tlie changes in the vol
ume of the currency, and the green
back circulation remaining now what it
was when gold sold at twenty or thirty
per cent, above its present level, it fol
lows then that gold was much above its
normal level, or else that gold is now
much below that level.
It is at this stage of the argument
that the opjfos ng pa ties sepa Bte Tin*
beats think gold too high still, and
that it tends by its own weig'it to seel;
a lower point. The bulls, on thn other
hand, declare that 'temporary causes
have p«t the prutninm ‘d rtvH, that tlie,
Secretaiy of the Treasury has helped
these depressing causes by f ncing g >ld
noivri mi the market when the market is
al e nly glutted with it, and when thei*e
is fur tlie present ho ready outlet.—
These Vexed qn ’Kliohs Are t>o eagerly
difcftxstffl as to throw an atmosphere of
uneiriiffuty over the whole supject, and
are al emiy rendering all parties less
democratic hud less positive. We re
ferred a few tveck ago 10 some lae.ts
which may peihaph aid in solving the
gold pro! I -in. These facts regard the
incensed supply of the precious m.tuls,
and the efleets of that increase in inis
to' tlie nominal level of prices. Wi li
oiii g"iog into a tedious detail, it i>
I‘iipngli to say that, although prior to
1«4» the average annual yield of the
precious metals had, lor three hundred
years, been no more than tuemy-oiie
mil ions, the amount since had b-mn
ten tim -s ts much, or uvo. - t"0 bu and ed
millions. N>w ala go part of tuis
gold crop ol the wnrlil is absorbed by
tlie aits, but still it is fair to assume
that ten times as much coin has been
minted diir.ng lie last twenty years.
It is i*u* that fouimerci and transac
tions have dt* > mu iip’ied, for wine i a
much larger Biippy of ci'eulutiiig mon
ey wou'd be required. Ji.it on the ob -
it - naTid there tins been a displaeernent
of coin tiy paper to au immense extent,
even in British India, and much more
in Franco and in this country. In view
of these facts the question is raised
whether Hve ought tmt to expect tnut
this vast increase in the volume of the
speiH: currency would produce some
depreciation in its relative value. Af
ter the discovery of America, in 1492,
gold declined iu value; why should not
the new discovery of Australian ami
Colifonea gold mines since 1848 pro
d ice a similar petrtui bation of values ?
Such is in oriel the argument, aud the
only i ep'y seemt* to be that, if it be ti ne,
it is brought about for us in a way no
human sagm ity c mid foresee; and il
we should arrive at specie payments by
any such Way as is here suggested, we
shall add another to the numerous illus
trations of MV. Madison’s Words to Miss

Andrew Female College. —A letter
from a friend, retuding in Cutrtbert,
gives its a very eut-.pt!raging account of
the present prospects of this noble old
institution. There are fifty young la
dies, or thereabouts, boarding at the
college, dtid the nutViber continues to
increase. They are from Various por
ti* ns of Alabartiu tiHd Florida, btVSideS
tin- following places in Gedrgi.i : Moti
tezuma, Hawkinsviile, Macor., Marietta,
Marsha Ivilie, Bandcrsvillo, Perry, Mur*
gan, Blakely, Cussctla, Fort Gaines,
Thomasville, Georgetown-, Dawson-
Brunswick, B tinbiidge and Other pla
ces. Toe letter fails to give us tho en>
tire number of pupils, but from what we
leave learned from other sources, we sup.
pose tho college proper—that is, those
m the freshman, junior, and setiibr class
es —contains about one hundred sin*
dents, a large proportion of whom take
daily physiea 1 eket-eiSo in sirict conforiiL
ty to the science of physiology, and with
a View to the perfect deVelopiiietlt iff
the whole system. Puysieal training
in Andrew College, is but the perfect ion
of tile system lit ediieutiot), which should
be obsci veil slrititly in all schools, as a
sine qui non.
As we have so frequently done be
fore, we cheei fatly commend Andrew
Female College as an institution unsur
passed lor the training of young ladies,
in the state, and as every way worthy
tho patronage of the pu lie.— Bainbridje

M"BR Accidents.—The Macon and

.-eries of mishaps, lately, vvlcoli should
cause those who have charge to use
more Watchfulness in keeping (lie track
in. order, It is noticeable that" nearly
all the accidents li ive happened oit the
old part of the road, between Coi-bran
and Macon—so these accidents cannot
he attributed to tho newness ot the road.
On Wednesday of lust v?t-fck, the ax ft:
broke of the engnte attached to the up
passenger train, near Macon. We learn
that no one was injured. The fu-x
morning, the whole* dowit passenger
traifi v.us thrown off ih& track, si lew

passengers were injured— none dodger
ott'ly. The run off ts said to have been
eutlscd by rOtteft Cross ties.
This blocking up of the track cut its

three days, and no ime kne v what was

—Colonel Long, prominently connected
with the Cuban revolution, it as just ar
rived at New York, and the papers
have lenghthy Veports of the news he
brings. It is stated that the object of
his missidh is to prepare for anew ex
pcdiiion, the nature of which must for
a time remain a Secret* In the month
of January he and two companions con
structed a “dug out’’ on the northern
coast of Cuba, and in it made a trip to

gunpowder and quuantity of a ms fm

insurgents on end of the
island are in a most contented condition.
They have established factorier furt* the
supply of various needed fabrics'; haYe
mai ked out, plowed and planted new
farms; have established post roads, and
are in every respect a prosperous
people. The negroes, freed by the
Republican goverinerrt, ure at woik
•»n the plantations on wages paid by tie
government. They are raising cane and
corn, turning the banana and plantain
into Hour, and grass into thread and
cloth for the soldiers in the field. The
colonel saj’s that could the present sea
son be stretched out to six months, the
Spanish army, if increased to one hun
dred thousand men, would be utterly
annihilated, and the independence of
Cuba secured without a dollar's aid from
any foreign power. He says that tbe
so called non combatants in the eastern
end of the island are clamorous f<*»
arms, and ask for an early opportunity
to advance upon the towns held by the
Spaniards. Money is plenty, both gold
and paper—the notes of tbe Cuban iie

Murdered —We learn by the steamer
Hattie,” that D. W. Mizelf, Sheriff of
Orange county, was waylaid and mur
dered in Brevard county, a few days
since, where he had been transacting
some official business. Mr. M. was an
efficient offi.-er and a good citizen. We
hope that his murderers will be brought
to justice. This is the first instance of
the kind that has occurred in this part
of the State, and we hope that all good
citizens will join in ferretting out this
foul murder.
We learn since writing the above
that Sheriff Alir.eH Was about seventy
five miles from home with his brother
and little son, hunting cattle. The par
ty had halted at a brahch when several
shots were fired, killing him instantly.—
The brothei hud to go seven or eight
miles to pro- urea cart to carry home
the deceased—all ttiis titne the tittle boy
was left with the dead body of his fath

we hope in God that these devils incar
nate will be brought to*justice. —Palatea

fence against their disastrous tendency is to
keep the digestive machinery, which feidt and
flourishes the Whole system, In good working or

If the stomach is weak or disordered neither
the blood nor the bile can be in a healtey state,
and iipon the fitness of these two important flu

and the regularity of their flow, health in a great
measure depends.
When the air is heavily laden with chilling
vapors, as it often is at this season of the year,
the digestion should fie an object of peculiar
care. If it is weak and languid, the whole phys_
