Tke Profits of Manufacturers.

no where better shpwn than by the
facts that England paid.the United

iinto ifaiWics she cleared $188,000,-
(000 of iftet profit. This statement
-of 4he immense profit growing out
-of the manufacture of the great

•every community in the South fa
tfftvoraWy located to turn its atten

most doubling the value of the cot

of otir beari tifit*. little Sky, in coinj

road facilities now proposed, will

the most enthusiastic, sq soon as;
the opportunity is giyen, * . ..
A n d «'e avo specially pleased to
know that’in writfng 1 <we a«k
hut expressing the sentiments of
those whose opinions are eminently,
worthy of respect and. confidence. M
Within the last week quite a
number of distinguished railroad
men have beejri iri otif pi'idst, among
them Messrs. Kimball,. Gqok, and-
IlnlbeiQyif Atlanta, all of then* on
♦ tour of business exploration itv
connection with the Brunswick and,
Albany railroad, already under con
strue tion to this' point j.aud when
we fay that tkoiri presence am*ag
us waa hailed with gteht joy by
oar citizens generally, we certa(n!y
do not err from the truth.
The party was met at the depot,
i by a number of prominent citizens,
•by whom they were taken iri harid,*
intiodneed to large numbers of our
■ people, and shown the various at
, traetk-ms of our beautiful little city
—receiving evidences ■of jriyous
weleofhc on every hand:
After supper,, a large crowd gatii
eredat-the Brooks House, wiiere
they were stopping; and after-some
splendid music by ortf city band, in
response to repeated caffs, Mr.
Kimball, the chief man of tho par
ty, ,\vas prevailed upon, to rtddress
them from the balcony. Happily
introduced Bjr orir worthy young
Mayor—Col. J. J. dis
tinguished gentleman cams forward
and for more than three-quarters of
an hour, both delighted and charm
ed the assembled listeners. He
spoke eloquently of the resources
of Georgia, her people, her soil, her ,
mineral wealth, lier enterprise, and
her schools. lie expressed much
satisfaction upon this, his, first, vis
it to Cuthbert, and assured tiio-citi
zeus before him, that chiefly through
tbe indefatigable exertiofts of our
clever townsmen—Messrs. Tumlin
and Hood—the Brunswick and Al
bany railroad would unquestionably
have, a depot within the oorporate
limits of oitt city.
The high compliment paid
gentlemen, was received with deaf
ening cheqrs by the crowd.
Mr. Kimball's speech closed amid
immense and long-continued ap
plause.
Although, glad to meet all of
these worthy gentlemen, yot we
were specially pleased to welcome
to our community, Hon. If. I. Kim
ball, the illustrious President of the
road; we say illustrious, because
the energy and business tact dis
played by Him in the management
of this road, since he became its
President—in bringing order out
of confusion, and in restoring 5 ootfi
dence to the mind's of all parties
interested, and that, too, within a
few short months* have been quite
enough to convince thfe fnost unbe
lieving, that he is no ordinary man.
To us—and we have been watch
ing him since He first canys to
gia—bis grand business schemes
and gratifying financial success—
have given his very name a magical
meaning and effect in all business
circles.
To Atlanta—the.city of his adop
tion—his labors have been both so
ftbnndant and so magnificently
gi‘eat, iq a period of time so incom
parably short, as that his history
for the past three years reads like a
fairy-tale.
The Capitol buildings—the im
mense hotel bearing his name—the
Oglethorpe Fair Grounds—the
State Road Lease, and other great
public enterprises, requiring both
mind and money in no ordinary
quantities, have mad-e him the hon
ored cynosure of all eyes through
out the country. He the mind
to conceive aud the.will to execute,
huge undertakings. If there is
anything little about him he cer
tainly has not exhibited it in any of
liis Georgia enterprises thus far.—
We take it, from lm unparalelled
successes, that he thinks much, lays
his business plans with extreme cau
tion, and then puts them through
with a vim ail lm own.
We would not be envious of At
lanta, but yet we would like to have
just such.a man as 11. L Kimball in
Cuthbert. His quick and . deter
mined will'touching home affairs,
and internal improvements, general
ly, would wake us all up. With,
him there is no saeh word’ as faih
Silently bnt surely he prosecutes his
lofty' projects—projects involving
millions of dollars, without the
slightest seeming perturbatiou of
mind, or fatigue of _body. Ami
wTratTmay seem a little remarkable
in these days of moral degeneracy,
Mr. Kimball is a Christian gentle
man, and favorably all
*thogif he Cpmes in con
tacwv’ith fie truth jm bis profes
sion. WeSiall nokapou forget liis

and voice trembling with emotion,

ly Source of gonuiue earthly

sentiments on that, qeeasion, ,were

With such a man as President of,
the Brunswick and Enfaula Section
of the great Southern Rail
road— npw ftnefer construction—we
have nothing to fear, provided duty
is madej the watch-wprd of evory
interested citizen.
We are pleased to, note that Mu j.
i B. F, Brutcm, President of the 8.,
C. & C. Railroad, is also imour city,
and hove enjoyed' a pleasant inter
view with him—in company with
Cpl. ,F. S- the able Chief
Engineer of the Road—in putVfsanc
tum. •; r ’ * • *■ P
M'aj. Bruton is entitled to no small
degree of credit for the energy and
perseverance .displayed in the con
struction of this road. He has la
bored under many difficulties—hav
ing worked altogether on private
subscription-fthe failure of crops
and the low prico of cotton making
it almost nn impossibility for the
subscribers to pay. He has shoiVn
us the financial condition of his
company, and we are free to say
that up to this time, he has com
pleted more Work, for the amount
of funds received, than almost any
one would possijily conceive of.
When this road is completed. to
Columbus, and connects with the
North and South Railroad, from
that city, to R.Orne, there will be no
ipore important line in Georgia.
Yerily, it sterna that a bright
season of prosperity is dawning up
on our goodly city.

The State Road Lease,
Asa part of- the liistory of the
State Road lease, we give the pro
test of a number of the Georgia Rail
road stockholders, lead by Judge
Linton Stephens, against that road
endorsing for the lessees. The pro
test was placed on the minutes: , ’
Augusta, Ga., May 11, 1871.
The uudev-sigoed, in
s.aid company, da. Hereby protest
against the action,of. the Directors
in pledging said company as seouri
ty for the persons or so-called com
pany. who are. liodding the recent
lease of the Western and Atlantic
ILdh'oad fur a,t-erm of twenty years,
thereby dairying the right, and pqw r
gr of the Directors, and.the right
and power of any number of stock
holders, to bipd otUerptQokholders,
or to- bind thq, Georgia Railroad
Company, as a company, en said
contract of, securj. lysing, and declar
ing our intention that .neither we,
as stockholders, nor the company
as a eoinpany «pnl| held bound
thereby ip any rospect, nor to any
extent, however small or limited.—
; Wet urtlier declare that if the act
of the so-called ..Legislature provid
ing for the lease of the Southwes
tern and Atlantic Baifrpad shall be
construed as such ,-au enlargement
of‘the charter of the Georgia Rail
road and Banking Company,
as would authorize said contract
of security ship,, then we protest
against ‘ said enlargement, and re
fuse to accept the same, believing
as we do that said contract of secu
rityslup is entirely outside of the
charter and, scope of the Georgia
Railroad and Banking Company,
and tliat. the charter cannot be en
larged so as to embark the compa
ny into anew business or involve
them in liabilities outside of the
okarter without the unanimous con
sent of all the stockholders.
Li connection with this matter it
seems to ns that Toombs and Ste
phens achieved a victory in the.
postponement of action on the mat
ter, though both sides claim to be
satisfied. One of the strong points
relied upon to invalidate the rail
road security of the lease Is that
the endorsement of the stockhold
ers-is necessary. Os course af ratifi
cation by the stockholders would
have killed this point. It is said
that a majority of the stockholders
wo.uld have ratified, if the matter
had come to a vote. In this view,
the opponents of the lease gained a
triumph.

Editors' Cuthbert Appeal :
Sirs : In -the editorial columns of
"yOur papor of the 17th of February,
an article was published, stating,
(in reference to myself)
“ That his Honor made a strenu
ous effort to f bold with the hounds
and ruri with tbe hare,’ by ensuring
sevoi - al members of the jury, that
while withholding his official sanc
tion to their censure of tbe Gover
lidr, yet p>rAveLteh). and asaui individ
-«»1 lve indorsed every word and
sentiment that hqd been ottered.”
And further, “ Judge Harrell, we
learn, also intimated that if the ac
tion of the Grand Jury was given
to the pablrc the Governor might
withhold his commissions from our
county officer* elect.”
These statements were so unjust
tome, and so utterly without coon
the shad(nc of a foundation in truth,
that I could not fail to notice them.
Before doing so, however, I deter
mined to furnish such proof that
there could be no mistake about
the matter; and I now send to you
the proof —tjie written statement
of the Grand Jury referred to, sign
ed by each member without excep
tion, and pronouncing the charges
aS untrue ami without foundation :
i“ CpT,BBERT, March loth, ’7l.
Whereas, at the February ad
journed term, yf the Superior Court,
, 1-8/1, the Grand Jury in their pre.-
. senlpmuts commented on what they
~presumed to be an improper act of
the Governor in pardoning James
•Jackson, to which the court object
ed, and suggested that the stric
tures. on the acts of the Executive
not a part of i/ie duties of
Grand tfurors , Whereas, subse
quently, an article appeared in an
editorial column of the Cuthbert
Appeal, criticising the conduct of
Judge,Harrell, by asserting that he
privately expressed to Jurors that
his opinion as a citizen were oonso
uaut with those expressed by the
jury ; but as a Judge he could not
publicly cuter lain them*.
, And ‘ That he sought to intimi
date, the jury by suggesting that
the cogpnisaionß of the ooumy offi
.cers might bo withheld as a retalia
tion, etc,’
Kpw, iu Justico to Judge Harrell,
we, the Grand Jurors, deny the
truth of the charges in said edito
rial. Said charges were not justi
fied by the facts, and may have been
gathered from irresponsible hear
say.
We fepl constrained to make these
statements in justice to ourselves
and to,Judge jlarell.
John L. Brown, Foreman.
Q. S. Baldwin, Jno. G. Kay,
T.JL Smith, Terrell Moody,
Solomon Ivey, J. T. Harden,
C. R, Knowles, , N. Arthur,
Wm. Harden, , I. E. Bridges,
C. L. Tumliu, 11. B. Ekler,
J. A. Fillingin, .W. 11. Arnold,
J. W. Dunn, J. D. Gay.”
So much for said statement.—
Now as to the real facts as they oc
curred. At the February adjourned
term of Randolph Superior Court
the Gland Jurors in connection
with their general presentments re
turned a paper containing stric
tures upon the action of the Govgn
nor of the State, relative to a par
don issued by him to a man of the
name of Jackson. When that pa.
per was*ead, 1 Suggested to the ju
ry, publicly, and from the bench, in
the pregepce of the bar and specta
tors, ■ ,
“ That our Government, was* by
tfi-e constitution, divided into -three
separate • departments. That the
powers and dtstiesof each were dis
tinctly specified and defined. That
it was as distinctly forbidden for
persons of One department to exer
cise the functions or duties of an
other. That a proper adherence to
the spirit of .the Constitution as well
as to preserve harmony between
the several departments, wonld.for.
bid any interference or official crit
icism one with another.
That.'while as citizens, they had
the right to entertain any opinion
they saw proper of the official ' con
duct of any public officer of either
of the departments, and the further
right of uttering said opinion by
words or writing as they saw fit.—
They did not have the right to ex
press it officially. That the duties
of Grand Jurors, like that of all
officers of the law, were specified
and defined by the law, and that a
supervision of the official acts of
the Governor was not in the sphere
of those duties.”
These suggestions commended
themselves to the judgment, and
may I not say, to the good taste of
the gentlemen composing the Grand
Jury, and they did not as in said
article,'insist upon their statement,
but after retiring, in a few minutes,
and unanimously, they* reported
their General Presentments .shorn
of this statement.
Their action afterwards, and dis
connected with the Court, was their
own business, with which I had no
concern and took none.
There is another statement in the
same article which has just such a
truths ul (?) foundation upon which
•to rest as those above referred to.
It is this:
“He (meaning myself,) must
surely have forgotten his volunteer
championship in Washington of the
Georgia Outrage Committee, and
all their villainous fabrications.”
I have neverseen a Georgia Out
rage .Committee. JSever had a word
to say to any outrage committee, as
such or individually, nor they or
either of them to me, in Washing
ton. or anywhere else. I carefully
abstain from any participation in
outrages, especially the outrage of
toilful misrepresentation of
or motives of any persbu, And tbe
world would jog along much more
smoothly if some others would follow
my example in this respect.
A well regulated public press,
controlled by gentlemen who appre
ciate its great power and influence
upon the interests of society and
good morals, and assisting ip the
advancement of truth and jtistiee—
who uphold the right and condemn
t he wrong —is entitled to’arid will
command the confidence and re
spect Os all good men. V
But when (as it is too often tho
case,) it unfortunately falls into the
bauds of the unprincipled, who drag
it down to t heir own ignoble level,
in order to gratify petty spite or
malice and to misrepresent and fal
sify, it deserves the same contempt
as does the moral debauchee wlio
thus prostitutes it. I am, &c.,
David B. llahrEKl.
We publish the forgoing commu
nication, as an act of justice to
Judge Harrell —not wishing to de
ny any man the right of defence,
when attacked, through these col
umns. We give him the benefit of
all facts adduced in the premises*
and leave the public to judge of the
correctness of all imputations out
side of the real points at issue. We
also deem it but sheer justice to the
editor who presided over these col
umns at the time of the publication
of the objectionable article, to state
that it was prepared by an ex-editor,
in whose judgment he had the’full
est’confidence. Under impressions
created by common report, and
strengthened by the surrounding
circumstances at the time—which
now appear by the statement of tho
Grand Jury to have been erroneous
—the article received his endorse*
ment and was given a place in the
editorial columns of the paper.

Poisonous Medicines— The theory that
the virtues of disease cau be t-afely counterac
ted by do'ses of poison, is false and dangerous
Within the last twenty five years, not less
than a score of virulent porsous have been
added to the repository of the medical profes
sion. They are given in small doses, other
wise they would destroy life immediately ; but
even in minute, qu unities. they produce, un
timately, very risastrons effi-ets. It is unwise
and nnphilosophical to employ, as remedies,
powerful and insiduous dings, which, in sub
jugating one disease, sow the seeds of anoth
er still more unmanageable. None ol these
terrible medicaments operates with as much
directness and certainty upon the causes of
and sense as Ilostetter's Stomach Bittcis, a tonic
and corrective, without a single deleterious
ingredient in its composition. Arsenic and
qninia are given for iuleimiUente ; bromide of
potassium foi nervous disorders; strychnine
and piufsic. acid for general debility ; mercu
ry, in various forms, for liver com plaint;
preparations of chioroform and opium for
sleeplessness; and yet these deadly drugs do
not compare.as sp reifies for the do eases above
enumerated, with the w holesome vegetable
invigorated and alterative, while they are all
so pernicious that it is astonishing any physi
cian should take the responsibility of "prescri
bing then). Let invalids, lor their own sakes,
try the Bitters before they resoit to the pois
ons. The rr liet they wilt experience from a
ceurse ot the harmless specific, will render a
recourse to the unsafe prepara ions referred to,
quite unnecessary.

To the old patrong ot the “ Ch althbate ” it
is needless to speak of its merits To others
we will state, that the main Spring is pro
nounced by competent Judges to lie the finest
(Chalybeate Spring >nghe United States—issu
ing from the north side of Pine Mountain, and
discharging 3,600 gallons per hour. It is re
markable for the wonderful cures it has ef
fected. We have three other Springs—Sul
phur, Magnesia, and Freestone—the whole
embracing a most valuable combination of
mineral waters. The place is handsomely
lighted with gas.
Every species of inn cent amusement will
be provided, embracing a line

fine horses and carriages.
A Fine Band of Music will be in constant
attendance.
The Table will be supplied with the best,
and the proprietor will exert himself to make

we know to the contrary, the Seltzfcr Spring
was bubbling aud sparkling when Adam walk

its sauithry properties have never been sur

They have, however, been embodied in ali

In calling the attention of planters to our Cotton Gins, we .Wye that, limy hlioaid notice
the improvements that we offer, which are substantially as Clio-,vs . U amuou notice
A PORTA 3LE ROLL BOX,
For obtaining any inclination of the Gin Rib or Grate, is used ; the object of which is to im
prove in ihe (juantity ginned, or lessen the •quantify and improve the quality of lint. Also to
gm damp or wet cotton ; to alter the picking or separating the li.it irom the seed—either tj
take more lint off or less lint from trie seed, as circumstances require. We useboth the com
mon Roll Box and a Swinging Front. The latter is arranged to let out all the seeds atnl hulls
in a moment, and is very easily managed. ’
. THE GIN BRUSH
We make cannot-be excelled by any hairbrush used. The bristles are all draw,, In by a
cord, and the timber is all selected from the best lumber, well seasoned ; uik! every Brush
is made perfectly lire m and rat proof.
CYLINDER AND BRUSH BOXES
■Are both oscillating and plain. Can furnish either, as may be ordered. We line them with
the best babbit metal.
GIN SAWS.
We make *ll the saws that we use from Hie best English Cast Steel, and of any idre that
may be desired. We employ, to superintend and manufacture our Saws, one of the best urn
makers iu the South; and our machinery lor the manufacture of Gin Saws cannot be excell
ed.
. COTTON SEED CRUSHING MILL.
We are the only tuccessfiil manufacturers of this important and useful invention—the Cot
ton Gin, with the Cotton .Seed Crushing Mill attached. It vvifl'bardly be necessary here to’
allude to the immense saving and economical use of crushed cotton seed, as a manure. We
received a gold medal, as a premium, from the Fair of the Cotton Planter’s Convention, held
in Macon Ga. r 1860, for the best Colton Seed Crushers attached to the Gin Stand, to crush the
seed as fast as it enapes from the Roll. We refer to some of the many certificates that we
have on the Subject.
TRIAL OE THE GINS.
W«c keep constantly on baud seed cotton, and every Gin is tried before it ‘leaves the shop
old or new ones. * " ■ ‘ 1
REPAIR OF GINS.
We have a complete assortment of the very best Cotton Vuliinerv in the country and’
make repairing of old Gins a specially. Planters will do well to send ’in their old Gins, ariis
have them made as good as new. at a much less cost than anew Gin can be bought.for. &and
on your orders and old Gins early.
