Under the guise, of charity, patriotism
and religion. Wo propose to give
this week a few specimens of the way
in which the widow and her orphans
ate often oppressed, cheated and swin
dled under the guise of charity. We
will suppose a scene. Suppose a num
ber*of ladies assembled together, from
the country and some from the city.—
Suppose the conversation should turn
upon new dresses, sewing, &c. Most
of the ladies will probably say, they
intend to put out all of their sewing.
Not but that they and their daughters
might do part of their sewing, but
when there are so many pocr women
wanting the work, they think it would
be wicked in them to do it themselves
Perhaps one out of the number will
conless that owing to the altered con
dition of the country, she thinks it
her duty to do her own sewing, and if
she has anything to give, will give it
without condition. 11c have taken
some pairs to learn the result of this
round-about charity. Perhaps one lady
out of ten will do just what she pro
fesses. She will put out her sewing
giay her needle women a fair price for
her work, arid pay her punctually
when the work is done. This is ail
right and proper, but it is not charily,
it is sheer justice. The needle woman
is as much entitled to pay for her work
as the merchant is for his goods, or
the farmer lor his produce. Put there
are very lew of these ladies who put
out all their work for the sake of be
ing charitable, that do as well as the
above. Some of them Jew down the
sewing woman to the lowest cent at
wh ch she can live, aid then will not'
pay her for months, and perhaps never.
Others who pretend to be the pnrticui
lar friends and patronesses of the
needle woman, will not even ask her
•the price of work, but wfen she has
done what would have cost the lady
patroness many dollars at some other
shop, this kind of friend and patroness
will condescend to give her u sm 11
piece of meat, or a few pounds of black
and wormy flour, or a bushel of pota
toes, and tills they call charity, when
if the articles had been sold in market
the money they would have brought,
would not have paid for otic-fourth ol
.the work received for them, Put this
was from her special friend and patro
ness, and the poor needle woman dare
not complain.
U’ehave several anecdotes laid away
which will illustrate our position,
which we intend to use hereafter.—
We will mention only on ol a t present
Two ladies VritO were the paititular
friends and patronesses of a sewing
‘woman, had got her assistance in cut

dresses, which cost lier much time and
trouble, and would have cost the ladies
several dollars, but as they were her

Pibie says the cloak ol chirity covers

name of charity. Gentle reader if wo

A FARM FOR TnE POOR.
For some time we have been think

ticing with deep concern the great in
crease of tills t-h-ss of per-oi s, since the
vast destruction ol property during the

for the good of society as well ns in
sympathy with the unfortunate, that
some plan of amelioration that could
be made universal, should be adopted

by the Counties of the States. At
present tin; lnfol'irt&ifourts are loft to
look after the po'or, and all they can
do, at least in Georgia, is to levy and
ooUoet a tax otWio'MOplc, which they"
pay‘Out to' claimants' wit!) very liftin'
iconlidcrakpn as 10 mcritt for the want'
‘of time and ' investigate
uheir claipifc. Many, Indeed, moif .and”
those per&is who receive thjA bounty
tiro übtefo Tahor , and would do s >
cheerfully, if properly directed and
kindly treaded, wliile such a course,
would, in all greatly re
duce the County tax for,the poor. In.
carrying out this object, we are of opi-'-
nior> that the location of a farm and
work house for each County, would be
the most efficient means of remedying
the jrcvailing evil and calling the at
tention of the Inferior Court of Thomas
County to this subject wo lay before
them the following excellent article
from the Millcdgeville Federal Union:
A County Poor House is an im-
perative necessity.
With a change in our domestic in
stitutions conies tlic necessity of a
change in our pauper system. Indeecd
we have no system for taking care of
the poor. So far this very important
duty has been left to the voluntary
contributions ot benevolent individ
uals. But this is very precarious and
uncertain. The duty of providing for
the pdor that are among 11s, is an obli
gation which God himself has placed
upon our shoulders, and one which
we cannot avoid without sin. There
are distressed objects among us, who
have become so loathsome and dis
gusting by ctime and disease that, the
most benevolent are deterred from
coining in contact with them, and
yet. these should not be left to perish
by the way side. A Bounty Farm and
Poor House is provided in many of the
Middle and Western States, where all
who Cannot take Cure of themselves
are Sent and provided for. This
Farm and Poor House is put under
the charge of some energetic and res.
ponSible man who is well paid, and
gives his while time to taking care of
the county poor He will generally
be able to make those who arc able to
work, assist in taking care of those
who are not, and the balance of the
expense of the establishment is paid
tutof a tax on the county. In this
way the burden of the poor
is borne by the whole county, and not
as now. by a few benev-lent individ
uals, whilst a largo portion ofllic prop
erty holders do nothing. With a
County Poor House none of the pan.
purs need over suffer, nor need the be
nevolent he annoyed or imposed upon.
Without one, ‘both of these cm tingen
cies wid happen daily. Wc have
thrown out these observations that
those who have the management ol our
County Finances may think of them
Surely some better plan may be devis
ed than that wc are now living under.
If tliero is' any worse one, wc have
never licatd if it.
ADVICE TO THE SOHTTT
At tills paitieular time, when the
whole South uro fretful of the action
of the Radical Congress, and looking
with dread upon the resu’t of their
evil deals uiini! [\'.z future of the coun
try, they stand pcCU!;«t'!y in need -f
ino tollowing advice i'lpm the Thirty
iScis-nth Fsutm, Which-we how rctorn
mcrid t<3 their cateful, and prayerful
consideration :
Frdt not thyself because of evil *
doers.
Neither lie thou envious against the
leaders <f iniquity ;
For they shall soon bu. cul down
like the grusi-*uiid wither as the green
limb.
Trust in the Lord and do good ;
.So slialt tliou died/ in the land , and
verily thou shalt Ire fed.
Delight thyself also in the Lord,
And h - shall give thee the desires
of thine heart.
Commit thy way unto the Lord—
trust also in Him, and lie shall bring
it to pass:
And lie shall bring forth (liy right
eousness ns the light,
And tliy judgment us tbo noonday.
* * * * *
Cease from anger , and forsake
wrath :—tret not thyself in any wise
to do evil.
For evil-doers shall he cut off;
But those that wait upon tlie Lord,
they shall inhor t tho earth.
For yet a little while, mid the wick
ed shall not he,
Yea, l lion shaft diligently consider
his place, and it sh dl not he.
But the meek s/ndl inherit the earth;
And shall delight themselves in the.
abundance of prove.
The wicked plnteth against the
just—and gnasheth upon him with his
teeth.
The Lord shall laugh at him:
for lie seeth that, his day is earning.
The wickoit have drawn out the
sword, and 1 nve hint their how,
To cast down the lioor and needy—
and to slay such us be of upright con
versation.
Their sword shall enter into their
own heart and their bows shall he
broken.
* * * * 4-
Wait on the Lord and keep his way
‘—and he shall exalt thee to inherit
the land ;
hen the wicked are cut oft', thou
shalt see it.
*** * • *
I have seen the wicked in great
power,
And spreading himself like a green
lay tree.
Yet ho parsed! atcay, and !o, he was
not :
Yea, I sought him, but lie could not

Thi cr-opcration of the whole Board
is absdutely necessary to : ccomplish

none thi less necessary, that the citi•

hers of a special brotherhood. The
great and ciowi ing office of the Sa.
viour of the world was that of yield ug
up his life for sinners; yet there was
another important work connected with
t.!.c plan ol redemption, undone which
perhaps exhibits as strong love for
fallen man is did even tlie scene on
Calvary. The work was that of pre
senting to tho world a living ’example
of the holy, happy, purifying eff ets
which his doctrines would have upon
(lit hearts of those who carried out
these sublime principles, in every cir
cumstance of life. It, might not have
required n greater miracle than attend
ed tiis incarnation, f r the Saviour to
have entered upon his earthly oure-r
in the lull matunty of n anltood, and
then, having announced tiis purpo-es
immediately yielded up his life on the
Cross. But ill that case, mankind
could never have Ifni any just concept
tion. cither of his character or that of
Ins doctrines, llis lile of .‘>3 years, in
which he passed tlituugh u any and

pendant '1 hey were to ho “ the l ght

(’hutch he had still another object—
their own mutu-1 improvement and
happiness. These two nbj-ets, first,
that t’-cy might he the light of the
wot Id, and M-coodle, that they might
incr. ose each filler’s happiness, are tlie
objects for which every Christian
Church should be constituted, even at
the present day. Nctirly twenty cen
turies have gone by since tho orgatti.
cation of the* fiist Church of Christ,
and the dottrines of the Crosa have
been pjocj. linked, jo every zone of the
globe, yet Church relationship still re
mains of the utmo.-t importance to the
conversion ol' sinners, and the progress
and happiness of the disciples of Christ
everywhere, I will slop to *(pj

which is the CltUgchbf (*nr:st, It'is
sufficient for ine to say that lam de
"ctdedly Armenian tri faith, a*nd there,
tore regard all as disciples of Christ
who “I'.MI- Kiln and keep liis command
ments.’’
But is it so that the relationship ol
the Church bears such fearful respon
.sibi'it-es ? There can be no conneci
tion, no relationship this side of the
eternal world, involving suen awful
responsibilities, as Church Member
hip. Kvcry member has pledged
himself in the lace of earth and hea
ven, to be true to Christ and to eueli
other. Did they fully live up to these
professions, every ( liurch would give
a foreta-te of heaven. It is deeply to
be lamented that some Churches ex
hibit but a small share of that peace
and joy that passeth understanding.
Jealousy, distrust, n-fllice, and all un
cljuritableriess, sometimes find their
way into the fold of Chti.-t. Butt! e
great cror that lias proved so desola
ting is tiiat of inginceiity. The max
ims of the unregencrate man have but
little to do with sincerity. Much of
the business of the worldly, and even
the intercourse of what is termed
“fashionable society'’ is founded in
deceit. 'Professors of relgion, who
imbibe thi same maxims ami relax
their watchfulness, are sure to run into
vic“. 'The ball room and oilier places
of fashionable amt seuients, which ma
ny Church members Link it no harm
to attend and participate in, will have
its effect- on ti e human I cart.
* But to return to our point ol discus
sion Nothing cm be more destruc
tive to a Church than insincerity. Let
u 11 ember who sees something that he
disapproves in the conduct of a brother
go and whisper it abroad, y::t say noth
ing but smiling words to him ; let him
habitually say ot bis brethren behind
their l icks, tlie v?ry opposite of what
his language and manner be I ore Ins
face implies, and the fruit of his do
ings will soon have a visible effect on
the prosperity of the Church With
the world such things are of diily oc
cur renec and receive no censure; hut
they can not' bed dene by. a Christian
without grievous injury, if Hint to h s
brctl r.-n, at h ast to hit} own soul. Kv
cry word and action of our li e should
be stamped with the imperishable im
press of truth. p
It is extremely common among the
fashionable vulgar to practice decep
tion even to treachery. A man home
ly dr ssed, or one who is poor, or
perhaps lias a delect in person, or man
ner, happens to be in their company
with those whom they wish to flatter,
they will often, by u wink, or a nod,
or a covert 'smile,'make such in-ivid.
ual the obje ct of their ridicule and
treachery. These' things may pass un
rebuked in those who live without God
in tltv woild, bul In one who professes
to tread’in the footsteps of the Re
deemer, it is a crime of so dark a st-.in
that nothing l-“t, the tears ol heartfelt
t-enitencfh mni contrition can ever
wash out Sincerity of moti n, aid
action should be the nn-tto of all who
profyss to be the followers pi Him who
was sincere, and without rebuke. The

AVasiiington, Jan. 8. — The nnni.
vcrsaiy ot the battle of New O.Teaos,
was celebratid t.>-r ight by a banquet
at the National Hotel, under tlie aus
pices of tlie National Democratic Resi
dent Committee. Among those pres
ent, were Deun cratiu members and ex
members ot Congress ana the Texas
members of Congre-s elect, Ex-Attor
iicy General Jeremiah Blink, Ex-At
torney Goer 1 Bh ir and It its father,
Francis P. Blair Esq. The last named
gentleman preside 1 over tho banquet.
Over one hundred seats at the table
were occupied.
At about 0 o’clock tlie President of
the United States entered the hall and
was received with loud applause and
I assigned a seat on the right of Mr. F.
| p. Blair. The first toast presented,
j was : “The day we celebrated and the
event which made it it nation: ! ttnni
i vers try ’’ The presiding officer read
i a paper appropriate to the occasion.—
Hon Montgomery Blair It. re proposed
! tlie health ot the President of the
United States, which was received
with three cheers. The President, on
rising, was again applauded, lie said
i it was not liis purpose t» make an ud
’ dress on this 'occasion, but only to pro
pose tt sentiment, which was as fob
I lows :
THE TOAST.
“No State of it' own wiji has a right
i under the constitution to K-nouneo its
! place in, or to withdraw from the
Union nor has the Congress of the
United States a emtsti'utiooai power
to degrado tlie people <itf any State by
reducing them to the condition of a
mere territorial dependency upon the
Federal head. The one is disruption
and dissolution of the Government the
; other is a consolidation and exeictsc of
despotic power. The advocates of ei
ther ora alike the PHenlu.
Uiion, and of our constitution!, f m
of Government.
The sentiment was very forcibly
chyCfed, Hendricks responded
to (he trird t ast namely, j
“The Feddpl must be
prnkerved.” I-
The fourth-Was ‘‘Andrei Johnson,
the President of the United States ; he
is now receiving the full measure ot
that vituperation which was once meted
out quite as lavishly 10 Jefferson and
Jackson.’’ Senator Doolittle respond
ded to this and spoke of the centrali
zing tendencies of the Government,
the question still remains, he said
whether or not the Federal Union can
be preserved.
Th speeches were all of a character
intensely opposed to the pre-ent Rad.
ical sway, predicting that the people
cannot much longer Bubmit »o these
encroachments upon a free Govern
ment.

“Wo felt truly gratified, yesterday, as
the tall and stalwart figure of Sterling

tered our office. As all our readers
are aware, lie reached this city on the
Ist inst , from Mex'co, accompniicd
by threo- of his daughters, who are all
stopping at the St. Charles Hotel We
believe that Gen. Price is now on bis
way to St Louis, where he will be
greeted by hosts of old friends, and
warmly A recent spell of illness l.as
much reduced his weight; yet h s eye
is clear and his complexion as bright
as of old, anil there is a deal of work
yet left in Gen. .'torl ing Price.”
We also leurii from the Picayune,
that the noble old veteran has boon
presented with a largo and valuable
tract of land in Texas, by the mer
chants of New O leans, and has also
been tendered an important commer
cial agency in Europe.
It is reported that Gen. Sheridan
informed Gen. Price tliafhe would be
compell- and to inform the Government
of his arrival, and, must, ol course, act
undersueh orders as he should receive,
at the same time requesting that he
would keep him informed os to his des

New York, Jan. 9 —The Tiroes
has the following, Washington special
relative to the District Suffrage Bill :
Gen Gran:, was present at the i abinct
meeting b.y request. Grant took no
purt in the discussion. At last the
President asked his views. Grant re
plied very briefly that the objection
which had been urged by one member
of the Cabinet—that it was unconsti
tutional because it digfranch’sed rebels
without trial—was, in his estimation
the best part of the bill, and exhibi
ted most wisdom. As tor conferring
suffrage on the blacks in the District,
he was opposed till the members con
sented to do it in the States at home.
Upoi. the arguments and principles
involved in the message, he uttered no
opinion whatever.
Hon. JostHJA mtmt will be
seen from his card ts at this distin
guished cil zens of Georgia has re
moved to Washington with the view
of prosecuting his profession in that
city. Mr Hill’s ability and upright
ness as a lawyer and a man are uni

location. Persons having business in
the Uourts at Washington, or in anw
