There is douhtle-s imdlCßSe ex ■lymntinn in these rumors, \ ut. they prove.one thing, that the public mind ■ Thev are like th’trem bling. of the-earth which heralds an earthquake. ’People feel that they are bn the eve of great strug gles great agitations and great dan gers .Men begin to’ apprehend that they see the symptoms of civil war, and inquire how Grant and Sherman and . other leading Generals will go. and what side the army will take. lam satisfied th ngs, at least for some time to come, will not go beyond a desper ate political contest. The question* at is-u, between the Congress and the President will go to the people for ad judication. . And it is the people of the North alone whose votes can now be counted at the doctoral urns Hut yet the contest will be decided by the people of the South. Paradoxical as this may appear.it is nevertheless true: The great, paramount, overruling con troversy between the President and hi opponents is, whether the people of the South can be trusted with political power. The Radicals insist that they cannot ; that the South is not really loyal to the Un.on; that the South will repudiate the national debt; that the South will not tolerate the citizens of the North among them; that the freedi men will have no security i. abandon ed to the mercies of the South. It rests, therefore, with the South, by her own conduct, to settle this contro versy. If the South is wise, and gives no handle to to the Radicals, the Pr s ident will be triumphantly sustained; but if the South should pursue a dif-> ferent course the Radicals will become the masters of the President and the Sc uth, • Eve r y consideration of policy, on their own account, and every incen tive of graditude to the President, who has nobly thrown himself into the breach, should prompt the South to the greatest possible wisdom in their policy at this time. The Winiin of the Kehel Ntatr*—Chief Juxtiee Ch;ixe Overruled and the ■ *r<-i<l<ut Miimlii■ iietl bv the Supreme Court. • The Supreme Oourt of the United States has recently affirmed the cor rectness of President Johnson’s posh, lion in regard to the status of the rob el States The point was, whether the courts, us before the war, would take up those cases from said States which hail bean laid a-ido in consequence of the rebellion ; and, the rebel 1 i >n being suppressed, the Court decided to take them up. Chief Justice Chase alone dissentin". So far, therefore, as the judicial department of the General Gov ernment is concerned, from the col lapse of the rebellion the States invol ved in it resume their former relations as members of the Union Thus the head of the executive department, by the highest legal authority in the land, the court of last resort, is borne out in liis judgment that secessi m is anulity. that the rebellion did not carry the of fending States out of the Uni'Oi, but that in attempting to get out by force of anus‘‘they placed themselves in a condition where their vitality was im paired, not extinguished -their func. tions suspended, but not destroyed.” This is the po ition of President Johnson and the Supreme Court—-of the executive and judicial branches of the Gemral Government. Hut what is the position of Congress, the legisla tive department ? The Small I’ov Kcmcdy. The small pox remedy, which cured three thousand cases in England, ta kenjn all stages of the dis< ase, is so simple that it cannot be too widely disseminated It is : Cream of tarter, three quarters ounce, rubarb, thiiteen grains; cold water One pint The d.ise is from to half a pint In severe eases a halt p ; nt dose should be administered In cases characterized y delirium, great benefit has been obtained by applying a bottle of hot water to the feet. Plenty ot fresh air is important, and an out door airing at the earliest period prac ticable- is recommended. When ap plied tn the earlier stage of the erup tion. the eruption is arrested an . sup puration prevented, without any inju rcis result The mixture should be well stirred or shaken before adminis tefing it. —An Exch'jnrje. I'urr for Nmnll Pox. The made ot’ treatment is as follows: When the preceding fe?er is at its height, and just before the eruption appears, the chest is rubbed with cro ton oil and tartaric oinjmeat. This j eauses the whole ot the eruption to ap.-. pear on that part ot the body, to the reiiet of the rest.. It also secures a tad and complete eruption, and thus prevents the disease from attacking internal organs. This is said to be the established mode of treatment in the English army in China, by general orders, and it is a? a perfect •ure. — Exch'rnrfr. ( l: utcipri.sc L C. BRYAN, : : : : Editor.

ATI.AKTIC’ A Un.F RAILROAD. ■ This r id has at last been completed through to Savannah, and once more it stands as it did before the war. Its able President, M jor Screven, deserves great credit for the energy and perseverance with which he has prosecuted the work to a successful issue, under so many difficul ties. and we hope tire great benefit he and hi- coadjutors h ive conferred upon tlie . public of Southern Georgia, will be reward* ed with a corresponding patronage. Imme diately after this road was first completed to Thumasville, the late war broke out aud ! neither the Company or the public realized j the full extent of the benefits anticioaled (looi it : but now. with peace restored, an l j . the prospect of a long and prosperous iu- ; rur-, running as it does, through one of the , finest agricultural sections of the State, !

I.AERIG. This lady has beeu straining every nerve to support her helpless family, but owing, perhaps to the proximity of her dwelling to the military cauip while at the Court j House, her school dwindled to so small a j numberof pupils as to be wholly inadequate to her support. The military camp lias beeu removed and the annoyance thus done away with—may not her small patronage also be restoted ? She is an industrious and worthy lady, fully competent to teach and asks only for employment. Mill not some of our good and generous citizens in terest themselves in her behalf? There are many little boys and girls about town ati ndingno school at ml. Wifi not their parents be persuaded to send them to Mrs. Laurie? There are many who can re comnieud her. When you send don’t wait for the nonth or quarter to expire--pay in advance —the money may be needed. Your patronage will be well bestowed. - -f STREKT LABOR. Our active Marshal called out the whole corps of hands subject to street lab- r, on Monday morning, and under the judicious management of Alderman Stegall,.they are still making great improvements in the condition of our Streets. This is a step in the right direction, and we doubt not, that Maj. Stegall will do tilings up right if time and labor are furnished him. Our excel lent Mayor with the co-oper.at ion of hi- able Council, seem to be ma le of the right kind of material They have taken the interest of the community in hand and are deter mined not only to restore morality add good order; but also to thoroughly cleanse the town and pay it out of debt. Let the en tire community give then a united support, and we shall have cleanness, good order and a good name. They may err sometimes, but “to err is human,” They will get right again, and if we ail assist they will get right much sooner. CO l.\ TV COTKT. We are indebted to Hon. 15. B Moore, for the Bill entitled an act to organize a County C.urt, which was offered by that gentleman as a suhsiitute for a former bill, aud now under consideration by the Leg isl attire. We will publish the let hereafter, unless rejected by the Legislature. It is, how ever, in our judgment, very defective, and as it does not abolish the present existing Inferior Courts, and vest their powers in ! the County Judge, it conld not meet our j approbation. As it now appears, it but complicates the judicial tribunals of the land and increases t he burden of costs- upon i the people, without any material good. SOI TIIE H IV T KRISTI A.V ADVOCATE.

My thoughts often turn,’ in my me dilutions, fancy free, to the many happy and pleasant hours we have spent together in our once delightful homo- at St. Mary's’.W-e have often toatued tndcr the beautiful trees which shade the sidewalks of her streets,‘in its pretty flower gaideus, when the air was redolent with tite perfume of the orange blossoms, the rose and the magnificent Spanish pink, aud along the banks of the liver, as it flowed into the broad Atlantic, inhaling the sweet and balmy sea breezes, ‘fresh from the bo som of ocean’s wave, while the ‘ey •. was regaled, as the rays of the setting sun fell and glistened on the brilliant white sauds of Cuoibet land and Amelia Islands. Bu, alas ! war’s stein realities came, aud ban ished you, like myself, from this our ear liest and well loved home and resort, and my.lot has been cast in this place, where 1 ; have resided now for more than four years. 1 now propose o give you a short ac count of the history, present and future prospects of Valdosta, which I hope may prove interesting and afford you a few pleasant moments iu its perusal. Valdosta then, is a village of recent settlement and growth, and derives its name from the residence of the late George M. Troup, once a Governor of Georgia, of great dis tinefiou. anti whose name is yet fresh and green in the memory of her citizens. It is advantageously situated in Lottndes county, at No. 16, of the Albany & Gulf Railroad, leading from Savannah to ThomasviUe, in what was once a piiie forest; some ot the original trees yet remain in the streets, aud lift their tall heads toward the clbuds of heaven. It is the County seat, having however an inferior building for a Court House, whore, courts are frequently held, and much business is transacted, affording employment to quite a number of lawyers, some resi lents and others from abroad. I understand it is proposed to build a large and elegant brick Court. House at some future day, when there shall be a greater degree of prosperity than now exists. The Court House square has two rows of oaks growing r;qnd it; they tire yet young, but give the promise ol making hereafter large and beautiful shade trees. There are quite a number of dwellings, none however, either grander elegant, nor alter the mod els of architecture, but afford com on able homes for some two or three hundred in habitants. Ido not know how to describe t he architectural style of the buildings, not having much acquaintance with the art. They however, afford a sufficient variety of form and style, to relieve a monotonous appearance. It has as yet a few shade “trees, which are not only ornamental to a Southern village, but add much to the health and comfort of the villagers, and the absence of which gives an unpleasant naked aspect to any place. It is to be hoped this in the course of time may be remedied. The house* are rather scat tered, and present quite a straggling ap - pearance. Tlte streets run at right angles, are wide, and in bad condition mostly, and require repairs and mending. The busi ness is almost entirely confined to one street, upon which there are some seven or eight stores, stocked with general assort ments of merchandise, suited to the wants of the citizens of the village, as well as of the surrounding country, and where con siderable quantities of goods are sold, for cash or exchanged for cotton, It ides aud other products of the country, which are daily brought in for sale or barter. Busi ness has been during the season quite lively and active. During the war. the stock ot clothing and articles of fashion -lid necessity had been nearly exhausted, but at its conclusion when tltc stores were filled up with them, there was a good demand for such articles, and now we have t ankee goods and fashions in abundance. One new store house is now in proce-s of erec tion aud several others, as well as dwell ing houses aie projected. The population is on the increase. All the present dwell ings and stores are occupied and others are wanted. There is also one drug store, well supplied with nte Heines : four prac ticing physicians, and seven lawyers are at present residing in .he village. There is one flourishing academy, with from sixty to seventy scholars, where the usual branches of learning in such institutions are being successfully taught. There are also two or three female schools, which have more or.less scholars; also, two lady music teachers, who give daily instructions in that delightful accomplishment to a number of young ladies. There is one hotel, well pa'ronized I understand. 1 regret to say, there is not one t hurch building in the place ; two have heretofore been built, but subsequently blown down, never'lieless, we have religious services everv Sunday, either by the Baptists, Methodists or Presbyterians, aid some Sundays, at two pl .ces, afiording opporiu niiy for all to worship rlie Goo of heaven on his sacred and holy day. fwo flour sit ing Sunday schools connected with the Methodist and Pres vt-erinn congregations are n successful operation. lam a mem ber of the former, and am much pleased with its arrangement and my teacher, re- ceiving there each Sabbath valuable reli gious instruction, calculated to make one wise and better The late disastrous war ha doubtless impeded the prog ess ot Valdosta, but we anticipate its rapid im provement as soon as the country recovers from the sad and blighting effects of the war I can but offer conjectures as to its future prospects, they are dependent on so many contingencies, that it is almost im possible for the best informed to’ offer a. reliable opinion on the subject. Our labor system, upon which we depended for pros perity and wealth has beeu broken up. ana it remains yet to be seen, if the freed man w i*be as useful and serviceable in his new state, as he was as a slave. On th s point I entertain great doubt.. If the place i of the late slaves can be supplied with an industrious and virtuous white population, in time the whole country may become (prosperous, and Valdosta, partaking of her share thereof, will doubtless mprovc in population, wealth and importance, and become bo inconsiderable inland town, with perhaps a population of a tow thoi.- - .ad iu’., i’*i’ Doing inland and mo- iv surroundtM G\ hinds ot n moder.. ty quality. ’ upon the cultivation ot which it will be j.dependent tor'its future b..-:ne-s prosper ity, it-cannot be reasonably expected her-e ----a:;er to become as large and flourishing a town a- some others in Georgia; Your dear friend, (fonrnumA Bessent.

The inhabitants .of i this place are no; numerous; most of them were wealthy families, but “ their u-calth hi taken i im d Jtoacn Mtep •• ‘ and all the people at ’ present -have but limited j means. Valdosta is noted for its gaie y, i Bocinb)es and parlies afe no novelty. There ’ are nine or ten. stores, all having time stocks of goods. There is t.o church edi fice. One which had been built by the Baptist denomination having been desttuy ed last summer, during a terrific storm. About the centre of the town stands the ’ •Court House, which is also used as a [ lace of worship by the Presbyterim and Bap tist congregations alternately. Valdosta also boasts of a Hotel, where the weary | traveller may find repose. Further dn ; stands a lofty building, known as the Ma sonic Lodge. It is also u-od by.the Metho- j disls as a place of divine worship. The : last, hut far from being the least in itti portance, is the * \aldosta Institute, l’lte exercises of the Institute commenced in the second week of January. Thoreore already more than seventy scholars; and daily, names are “being added to the list. So muck for the present—while tne pros pects lor the future-are bright and hopeful. The future is particularly bright as regards educational advantages. It needs not the pen of your humble friend, to speak of Ihe scholarship and gentlemanly deportment of t e Principal of the Institute, Mr. S. M. Varnedoe, or of his accomplished daugh ters, who assist in the Junior departments. They have, by their kind and persuasive government, won the love and respect of many of the pupils New buildings ar being erected here ; and I have no doubt, that when direct communication by Hail road is opened to Savannah, that Valdosta, will be the most flourishing town ou the line of the Atlantic & Gulf Railroad.

We, the Grand Jurors, sworn, chosen and selected for the present session, beg leave to make the following general pre sentments in closing their labors i'oi the present week. We have, through our respective com mittees, visited the various public build.- ings of the County, with the iollowing results : The Court House and Jail are both in a very bad condition, as well as the enclo sures around them— much very serious injury lias been done these buildings since they have passed >ut ot the control ot the civil authorities. The Jail we regard as unsafe from want of locks, and insecure from fire. The Court Jlouse also needs immediate repairs, and we would request the authorities to look to these matters as soon as possible. We. find that the books of our County officers are neatly kept, to wit:—the books of the. Clerk of the Superior and inferior Court aud-Ordinary. We find that there is in the hands of.the Orilnary for poor school fund, :?0,4<50 88 in Confederate currency, collected by Hie Tax Collector for said purpose, and ‘think that such steps shun and be, taken, as would relieve the Ordinary froni any.further re sponsibility on account of said amount, it being valueless. We also find that the Clerk’s Office and Ordinary’s are greatly in need of books for Records, and would r commend that a suf ficient tax be levied to supply tlie deficit. . We Would also recommend that thS Infe rior Court lay a sufficient tax to meet 4he ’ current.expeiis-es of the year, just so soon as any reliable data can be had -.f the taxa ’ ble properly in the Gotiuty. This we ear nestly request, as we are bound soon to raise funds for the maintainance of paupers in our county; ’ Our roads anti bridges we find in a very bad condition, and call upon t lie authoria t\es to have* the same attended to as soon as possible, especially the bridges upon the Baihbridge ad Albany roads, over the Ochlocone< river. We find upon examination, both of the civil and criminal dockets, a large accum ulation of matter of several years standing, • to which we earnestly call the attention of his’ Honor Judge Hunsell and the Attorney tieneral Major Spencer. Me cannot close these, our general pres sen’meats, without as a body, expressing ourselves entirely at a loss to discover why we are yet annoyed and harr issed, by hav= ing our various towns and cities kept gar risoned by the military authorities? Our citizens are as they used to be, pursuing their usual avocations, and when they re* sumed their allegiance to the government, understood wnat they were doing, and meant just what they did do, hence we are at a loss to know why we should not be L V relieved from the continuation of this ex eee liugly unpleasant state of afiatrs.
