TO THE PLANTERS
OF
THOMAS COUNTY.
The question of labor and
food for the coining year is a
very serious one, and a large
number of laborers will be
• thrown out of employment.—
| It is highly important that the
Planters should have some de
finite plan fixed, so that labor
may he obtained for the com
ing year that will be fair to he
planter and afford a good home
to the laborer.
For that purpose the farm
ers and laborers of this county
tire respectfully invited to at
tend a Meeting at the Court
House on Saturday the 14th
instant.
MANY PLANTERS.
ONLY ONE PAPER NEXT
WEEK.
We shall issue but one paper next
week and will issue that on Friday.—
Let advertisers and others bear this in
mind and send in their favors by
Thursday noon. Our office has much
pie and is out of order generally ; and
as our bouse must be put in order for
the new year, we must begin in time,
so as not to encroach upon the prin
ters Christmas. During Christmas
week we shall issue no paper at all,
and we think our generous patrons
will allow us tl.is, for the printer can
not have his Christmas and get out
the pap r. 'flic editor too. should
have a little recreation, and Christmas
being the birthday of our blessed Sa
vior, all mankind should leave off all
work and send up to heaven one uni
versal shout of joy and praise, that a
lost and ruined world has been redee
med. We are tjo apt to regard the
day as a time for sport and folly : we
should be glad and joyful, hut we
should not forget to praise God lor his
wonderful mercy.
WIIAT IS THE NEWS ?
itvimiig: Almost- jueralty item
ing! At least so it seems to us.—
There is much pew-wow all over the
land, but not a valuable idea under
consideration. Uongrets is going
through formalities, hut they arc Rad
icals. Pope’s Negro Radical Conven
tion has organized, but no idea lias
yet developed itself, and wo look for
none of any value. Tho South Goer
gia Methodist Conference is in session
at Savannah going through the old
Conference routine of business, and the
most honorable body in session in tho
State, because their one idea is relig
ion.
NEPTUNE FOR BAINBRIDGE
Neptune Fire Company is contem
plating a trip to Bainbiidge upon the
completion of the Railroad to that
place, to exhibit t ho splendid water
spouting propensities of their engine,
and have a jolly time generally. Th y
arc much ciic iurngid to undcriako the
trip by tho liberality of the Atlantis
iY Gulf Railroad Cos, who, through
their able and ever generous Superin
tendent, 11. S. Haines, oilers to trans
port the lire Company to Bainbridge
and hack for one laro and provide a
car for their engine free of charge.—
This is a liberal offer and we hope the
Fi-e Company will make up the trip
and have a big time.
MEETING OF PLANTERS.
Let our readers remember that to
morrow is the day uppoiutod for the
meeting of the planters of Thomas coun
ty for the purpose of considering the la
bor question. Let every planter ho
present, and let there bo organized a
regular Agricultural Society for the
county, with all the necessary offioers
to keep up the interests of the plan
ters, and report irom time to time tho
progress made.
SUPERIOR COURT-
The Superior Court for Thomas,
is still in session and transacting bus
iness with all possible dispatch. Mis
honor, .lodge 11 unsell is exhibiting a
commendable determination to effect
a general jail delivery, and tho large
number ol culprits docketed, has ah
ready been materially reduced. We
hope the Grand Jury will Like into
consideration the largo number of
persons living around this town and
throughout the county without labor ,
and without Disable means of support.
If the laws are not enforced upon this
class there will not be a hog or cow in
the woods by the next session of the
Court.
Children of Colonel Elliott.
The Norfolk iirginian of Friday
last says :
‘The two orphan children of Colonel
Elliott, of South Carolina, who was
killed in front of Petersburg on the
30th July, 1804, arrived in the city
yesterday afternoon by the Seaboard
train, on their way to Philadelphia.—
Both children are mutes, and are sent
North to he educated.’

Highly Important Letter from
General Pope—Ho Fpeaks for
the Interest of his Political Party.
'flic following letter to Major Gen.
Swayne from General Pope will he
read with interest. The impor ant
portions of it we have italicised that
portion which confesses that lie is ma
king an order; for doing which he
speaks for the Republican Radical
party, and not for the army of the
United States.— Montgomery Mail :
Hkad’qs, 3i> Military Di’s, )
Georgia, Alabama and Fla.,
At-unta, Gu., Nov. 20, 1807.)
My Dear General : —I write you
unofficially, as 1 do not with to reply
to your telegrams relating to the com
pensation ot the members of the Con
vention. The Reconstruction Acts
prescribe the manner in which such
compensation shall he made and 1 do
not know that 1 have the authority to
act in the matter.
1 am willing, however, ti sanction
the payment of the Convention from
funds now in the State Treasury uri
der the following conditions :
1. That the Convention provide for
the levy anil collection of a special
tax in accordance with the roquiie
ments of tho reconstruction nets to
cover the payment, which amount
shall be paid into the Slate Troasuiy
before the end of the fiscal year.
2. That tho compensation of the
members ol the convention shall le
fixed at a reasonable sum.
3. That the payments from tho
treasury he not made u til the Con
vention has completed its work.
/lx r ha ve xma, / -A. nt-e //,,,/
I hare the authority to older this pay
ment, hut 1 will do soon the furcijoiiuj
condition.
In this connection I hope that you
will suggest to the members (I the
Convention that it the newsyaper ac
counts are true, tins amount of com
pensation they propose seems to me
(as indeed it does to everybody 1 have
heard speak of it) excessive, and if
adopted, a very had effect will ho pro
duced upon the friends ol’the Conven
tion. The Convention should fix the
lowest possible compensation for its
members, barely on >ugh to pay actual
expenses. 1 cannot tell you what an
unpleasant impression lias been cre
ated by the newspaper report on the
subject.
I In pc on every account that the
Convention will finish its work and
adjourn at an early day. If they
knew how their proceedings are watch
ed alike by friend and enemy, and
how much of their fortune depends
upon their prompt and reasonable ac
tion, it seems to me that unless discus
sions should he avoid and, and a fair
and satisfactory result reached in the
shortest possible time. Every duv
they remain in session after tho 20tli
of this month will he used as a re
proach against them, and will tend to
discourage tho friends ol n construc
tion everywhere. 1 hope you will do
what you euti to urge these or similar
views upon those who have influence.
1 hold it of tho giGiitost importance
that tho Constitution he male as soon
as possible. / speak not more for the
interests of Alabama than for the in •
terests of the political party , upon
whose retention of power for several
years to come success of reconstruction
depends.
Truly your friend, John Pore.
Earthquako at St. Thomas-Loss
of Property and Life.
Havana, December 1. Forty sev
en shocks of earthquake, rapidly suc
ceeding each other, were felt nl St.
'I homus on the 20tli of November.—
One shock lasted two minutes The
sea lose sixty feet on tho city and ev
erything was submerged. The loss ol
hie was enormous, and immense quan
tities of merchandise wns destroyed
Tho surviving inhabitants, houseless
and dest tute, fled to the mountains.—
The •so that remain are striving by eve
ry means to leave the island. The
steamer La Plata is the only vessel
which has sailed since the calamity,
and she left one hundred and fifty per
sons behind lor want ol accommoda
tion. Every business firm on the I—
land is insolvent, and all the steam
ships and other companies have aban
doned it. No coal is to be had, and
the wharves are destroyed. At the
time of the sailing nt the .-Darner the
earthquake continued at intervals.—
The destruction is incalculable at St.
'I homus and also at Tortola and St
Croix. Little Saha is a horrible vol
cano, and is tie.i'ly all burned to ashes.

Advice to a Dyspeptic-
You have asked me to prescribe for
you. You expect medicine, perhaps
you hope lor whiskey, just now the
ru-eo for chronic maladies, hut I shall
give you nothing th swallow ; you have
swallowed too much already. Os till
the maladies, dyspepsia is the most
distressing; to get ltd of its honors
you would putt with your right arm;
1 believo you, but would you part
with a pot Dot) of your table luxuries 7
1 leaf not; but presuming you are in
oirnest,, I will prescribe for you.
1. Rise early, dress warm and go
out —if strong, walk; if weak, gaunter.
Drink cold water threo times—of all
cold baths this is best lor dyspepsia ;
alter half an hour or more come tn for
break lust.
2. For breakfast cat a piece of good
steak ; half as largu as your hand, a
slice o! coarse, bread and a baked ap
ple ; eat very slowly ; talk very pleas
antly with your neighbors ; rend cheer
ful comments on journals/ avoid hot
biscuits and strong eoll o ; drink noth
ing
3. Digest for an hour, and then to
your wo:k; 1 trust it is in the open
air. Work haul till noon, and then
rest l ody and mind ti 1 dinner ; sleep
lit lie ; dt ink water.
4. For dinner- two or three o’clock
cat a slice ot beef of mutton or ti-li
as large a- your band, a potatoe, two
or three spoontuls of other vegetables,
a slice of coarse bread ; give more than
half an hour to this meal; use no
drink.
5). After dinner play anaconda for
an honr; now for th ■ social, lor pleas,
ant games—a good time.
G. Mo supper—a 1 tile toast and
tea even I'm supper will make your re
covery very slow.
7. ltt a warm room bathe your skin
with cold water hastily, and go to bed
in a will.ventilated room before line
o’clock.
Follow this prescription for throe
months, and your stomach will so far
recover that you can indulge tor some
time in all sorts of irregular and glut
lotions eating; or, if you have resi Led,
in the fear of heaven, to present yo .r
bodies, living sacrifices, h-dy aid ac
ceptable unto God, and will continue
to eat and work like a Christian, v nr
distressing nialrday will soon be for
gotten - Dm I flits. M. D.

Turn This Over, and Look at it.
The lo'lowing statement in Secreta
ry McCulloch’s report, just laid before
Congress, exhibiting certain operations
of the Treasury for four months, from

will show how the bondholders are

ury. Nov. 1 2,491,504,450
Total decrea-e of debt in four
nniulhs 20.296,563
These figuers, says the Nashville
Union, shows an apparent decrease of
the public debt of 8155,640 097, when
tin truth is, only an actual reduction
of 820,296,563. has been made. These
niunipultations of the Treasury are, of
course, mysterious. But there is one
startling laet which stands out in bod
relief, and that is that the debt bear
ing coin interest has been increased in
four months by more than one hundred
! and forty millions, or at the rate of
tour bundled anil twenty millions per
annum. At this rate one year more
will suffice to make all the debt bear
coin interest. In these fonr months a
demand for nearly eight millions more
of gold ha-been created, which must
come out of the pockets of the masses,
and will go into those of’tho Londhol
| ders.
General Grant Nominated far
President by the Union League
of Philadelphia.
Philadelphia, December 10,—T! c
following is the resolution offered and
adopted by the Union League last
night:
Resolved, That having confilonce
in the integrity and patriotism of Gen.
U. S. Grant, and believing that his
political principles are in conformity
with those of the I’eput lican party,
and gratelul for the service ho has
rt mil led to the country in every post
of duty to which he his he m called,
we do nominate him as candidate for
the Presidency of the United States.
It cannot he, says the Lou’sville
Journal that the President’s message
will fail to have a powetfal influence
throughout the country. It is calm,
clear, comprehensive and masterly.—
It is everyth r.g that the ration could
wish or wi-dom dictate The strength
of faction cannot in on" opinion with
stand it. Its great and all important
truths aic no forcibly and strikingly
presented that the people will accept
them with a determination to wain'
lain them. Seine of lee Radical mem
bers of Congress and some of the
Radical organs may assume, in regard
to it, a to ie of insolent defiance and
affected boldness, but they will feel
thomsol.’cs deeply rebuked and realize
in their secret souls that the blows
dealt by the President to th» m and
their schemes arc mortal.
Mr. Dickens’ First Reading in
Boston.
A dispatch from Boston dated Mon
day,-ays :
Mr. Charles Dickens’ first appear
ance in America as a reader was the
great event lu re this evening Tremont
Temple, one of the largest halls .-n the
city, was filled in every available part
by perhaps one of the most, apprecia
tive, fashionable, and brilliant audien
ces ever assent! led in New England.
At an early hour, tlie fortunate hold
ers ot the prized tickets of admission
flocked into the hall, and before the
appointed hour of eight i ’clock, i very
si at and the side aisles were occupied.
I'lie excellent police arrangement pre
vented any eonfii-ioti or Uistuibunee
attendant upon the grand rush into
the hull,
1 he same pnrnplioi nalia used by Mr.
Dickens in England upon this platform
to throw artificial light upon the speak
i er and his 410 cs was used on this ,-cca
> sion.
A few minutes alt r eight o’clock
the distinguished novelist appeared,
unaccompanied, upon the platform
! Me was greeted with clapping of bands
vociferous cheers, and shouts of‘-Wel
come,’and other enthiisi i.-tie mani
festations ot wjitn appreeiat on. The
: welcome was a most cordi 1 one, and
j it came from the elite of the city and
vicinity. Mr. Dickens bowed his ac
known dguients in de-tly.
Alter silence war restored, Mr Die
kens proceeded to read his ‘‘('hiistma
t arid,’ which - coupled about one hour
and a half. The uovt li-t d.d not con
tine l iiusclftothc printed page, but
rather spoke from memory. During
the rendering of this reading his au
dience wa- completely spell-bound, so
happily and so true to nature di 1 he
acquit himselt iu all its parts. Ilis
wonderful power ot delineation versa
tility of voice and nowir of gesture,
axeited the admiration of all. The
reading of the “ Trial,’ from l’iekwick
convulsed the audience with laughter
throughi ut its entirety, tt may seem
supi 1 ttuous to adil that the audience
went away declaring that never before
had they expert- need so neb a litera
ry treat as w .s presented on this occa
sion. It woul Ihe pardonable in 'lr
-iekensit he should f-el highly fiat
tered with the very cordial and hearty
reec) Don winch he received this even

A Remarkable Invention.
It is stated that a German gla-s-ma
ker has lately made a remarkable ms- j
covery. lie has invented a telescope !
or mngnyfying glass, by means ol'
which the most intricate nerves and
vessels inside of the body may be seen j
from the outside In fact, the whole j
arrangement and action of the interi
or organs may by means of this glass, j
be distinguished.
The discovery will probably be of;
immense benefit to mankind, as by 1
means of it the physician will be able
todet rrnine with unvarying accuracy
the nature of any particular disease,
and the proper manlier for treating
the same
The name of the inventor, who will
probably realize a fortune from hisdi.-i
covery, is Gotlisb Juntz. He is very
poor but a well read and highly intel
ligent man. He has an aged mother,
an invalid wife, six children, and a j
blind sister, all dependant upon him for 1
support. Hie mother was well acquain- j
ted with the poet Goethe, and it was j
probably her many anecdotes of this
illu-trious person which first inspired
her son with -a and sire to do something
to win the respect and esteem of his
fellow men.
The gla-s he ha- made will probably
place him among the first rank of in- j
ventors, anil win (or him the e-teeui of
whole nations
By means of this invention lie has ;
already nearly cured his wife. Six ;
months ago, a well known doctor said j
she eo.tld not live, and pronounced ;
her disease to be an affection of the
heart.
Juntz, however, has now proven to
him with the aid of the wonderful mi- 1
croscope that he was entirely mi-ta
ken ; t he stomach alone being the
part affected.
What a Child Said.
Minnie was a bright little seven years I
old, brought up by Worthy pari nts not j
a thousand miles from Amoskeag, N. |
11., who had been duly instructed in 1
regard to the joys of Heaven, but from |
whose ehatechiwni the subject of hell
had been entirely omitted One diy
she read a Sunday school book, obtain- j
ed from a playmate who was taught in j
a more orthodox school, and was read
ing. Among oil er things she said it
was abought hell. The mother, curi
so t-i know what idea her child had
formed, asked ‘hat kind of a place
do you suppose hill to be?’ ‘O, I
don’t know,’ was the riqly, “but 1
think it must be a good deal like a :
rum shop.’ Eeth ips Minnie was wis
