THE TABLEAUX LAST WEEK.
The exhibition of Tableau*, combined
with vocal and instrumental music, on
Thursday night, was a complete success.
The eompany was complimented by a large
turn out of the fair ladies of the town, and
they fulfilled their promise to provide a
pale able entertainment, The Music, con
ducted by Prof. W. T. Parsons, like all his
performances, was selected with good taste
and executed with great skill. The Ta
bleaux, likewise, were well and appropri
ately chosen, and the representations, in
many instances, perfect. It is true that,
u Mora ” forgot.her rosy hue, and “Angels”
whispered in scarlet dresses, but the whole
performance was good and gave general
satisfaction.
NEW VIETIIODIST CHURCH*
It may surprise some of our brethren and
friends, when we tell them, that the mem
bers of the Methodist Church in Thomas
ville, are about to undertake, in good faith,
the building of a Ne t Church ; because it
has been said of them, that anew one
would never be constructed until the old
Church tumbled down. Unless it tumbles
down, however, sooner than we expect, it
is proposed to prove the above a piece of
slander. The Building Committee, Trea
surer and Collector, have already been ap
pointed, and the subscription list will soon
be presented to every liberal hearted per
son interested. We hope, therefore, that
every Methodist at least, by membership
or predilection, will hold himself or herself
in readiness to respond promptly and lib
erally to the call. Contributions will be
gratefully received of all persons desiring
to aid us i.n the good work.

I.TIPBOTENEXT IN THE FIXE
ARTS. . .
By referring to our advertising columns,
it will be seen that our old friend Jeffers,
has made a short engagement with l’rof.
Thigpin, the celebrated artist from Mem
phis, Tenn.
Prof. T. is the inventor of the most feean
tifal style of picture> called the Porcelain
Zoonograph, We have examined specimens
of these pictures, and we must .say that
they are surpassingly beautiful.
We think Jeff deserves the highest cred
it for his energetic endeavors to keep our
citizens furnished with all the latest
improvements in his art; and we think it
due his effort&inthis respect that he should
fee largely patronised.
Call at Jeffers’ room, and if you eannat
fee suited with a picture there, of any kind
you wish, you need not try any where else,

EDUCATION IN THE MOUN
TAINS.
We call the attention of parents to the
Card wo publish to-day, from the Lookout
Mount Educational Institutions. By ex
amination of their Circular, we find ample
arrangements for the accommodation of
pupils, a thorough system of discipline,
and a full faculty of educated and distin
guished persons of both sexes. We need
scarcely say, that Lookout Mountain is one
*f the healthiest, as well as one of the most
beautiful ami romantic localities in the
United States. From its lofty summit,
which is very broad, four of the Southern
States are visible, while range upon range
of mountains rear their heads in the ethe
real blue. At its base the beautiful Ten
nessee river winds its serpentine coils
along, and piercing the lofty Alleghanies
to the West is lost to view, in the romantic
regions beyond. On the summit of the
Mountain also, is & beautifnl lake of pure
mountain water, beneath the tiny waves
of wnich, some diminutive but beautiful
specimens of the finny tribe are ever
gamboling in the sunbeams. Here also is
the famous “ City of Rocks,” grim in
the moonlight of its mountain site, and so
lemn as if its every inhabitant was dead.
But we have no space to enlarge. The
locality is certainly worthy to be made
classic, and parents can find no healthier
place at which to educate their children.
THE COTTON CROP.
The Cotton crop in this section will fall
far below the expectations of planters at
the beginning of the season. At first the
prospect was good for a fair crop upon the
lands planted, but the accidents of season
have been unusuaL The long heavy rains
protracted the damp weather to such an
extent, that the first or bottom bolls on the
■talks rotted and became worthless. The
rainy weather is now over, but the catter
pillar has also made its appearance in
roos’ of the farms, and the las', or top
bolls, from which planters always expect
a late crop, will now fall a sacrifice to its
depredations. The present cold snap al
ready iadicCearly cold weather, and ,
between the accidents of the seasons, the
reluctance of freedmen to gather that alrea
dy made, and the devouring catterpillar,
the crop will fall extremely short of the
general expectation The facts of this
statement, we have gathered from the far
mers themselves, from various sections of
the country.

SAVANNAH ADVERTISER.
The last few numbers of this favorite of ,
Savannah advertisers, came to our sane- j
turn enlarged and much improved. The
Advertiser has a good run of business in the
city, is ably conducted, and worthy of the
confidence of its patrons.
“ Whatever is the interest of Souths
western Georgia—thal garden spot of
the State —is our interest, and we ten
der to them the proposition we some
time ago submitted to our neighbor of
the Enterprise, a close alliance, offen
sive and defensive. We mean, of
course, in relation to all matters con
nected with the growth prosperity and
development of the vast domain com
monly known as Southern and south
western Georgia, and for the general
good of the State. The four papers
have a wide circulation and it is no
egotism to suppose they enjoy an in
fluence equally as extensive.” — Quit
man Banner.
Our neighbor of the Ban tier, having
submitted his proposition to tho corps
editorial of Southwestern Georgia, we
now signify our pleasure to enter hearti
ly into the alliance. .Whatever is to
the interest of our section* we cordially
endorse.^ —[Ed. Enterprise.
(EUR THE SOUTHERN ENTERPRISE.] ‘
Mr. Editor: —A writer in your paper,
over the signature of “Tax Payer” cal's
into question the action of the corporate
authorities in regard to the extension of
Main Street, and says it is to benefit the
few and to be done at any co9t. The poor,
miserable view thus presented, and sought
to be enforced upon the public, is but the
selfish, scanty thought of a wretchedly
dwarfed heart and mind—destitute of any
thing noble or generous, but the murmur
ing of a dissatisfied being, who never rea
soned outside of self , and who cares not for
the prosperity of the town iu which he
barely lives —scarcely vegetates. For six
or eight years, there has been a general
desire to have Main Street extended, by
the removal of the Mcßain buildings; and
finally, the Town Council were memorial
ized upon the subject, and liberal private
contributions were tendered, so as to re
lieve to a great extent the citizens from
the burden of taxation, and even from any
tax for this purpose until 1869. Now this
man of discontent, upon fraudulent and
untrue representations, seeks to impress
the people with the idea, that immediate
and pressing taxation is upon them. “Tax
Payer” knew better when he made the
declaration. He speaks of roads coming
in at the foot of the street, and therefore,
there is no necessity for its extension.
This is true, if Thomasville has reached its
growth. But is it so? We have now at
least thirty business houses, a number of
shoe establishments, hotels;’ six or eight
physicians, eighteen lawyers, a steam grist
and Hour mill ami variety works, with a
constantly increasing population, with a
general desire for improvement—a num
ber of new buildings completed since the
war and others in process of construction,
and large preparations made for the erec
tion of a number of valuable buildings.
And yet “ Tax Payer,” reasoning from
the narrowest selfish motives, wishes to
dwarf the town, lest its growth might per
chance stimulate others to put up improve
ments, give an increase to business capi
tal, and his business and property be in
jured. What a delusion! Sir, the growth
of your Town on every street, adds to the
prosperity of all. The productive wealth
of the country, when converted into active
capital, will seek investment somewhere.
Thomasville, unequalled iu health, summer
and winter, with its energy, enterprise,
intelligence, good society, her fine schools,
and with her contemplated College, secured
by the noble gift of Major E. R. Young,
(whose memory should be revered by all),
will attract capital and a population that
will give anew impetus to our beautiful
Town and all its interests.
Te the credit of Thomasville we have
done more to build up her interests, since
the war, than any Town in the Slate. Her
commercial, manufacturing and agricul
tural interests are being enlarged every
day. Why should not her borders be
xtended? Th-e country has made noble
efforts to stimulate industry, re-establish
labor, and keep pace with the business of
their own commercial centre.
The commercial, manufacturing and ag
ricultural interests of the people, are so
completely blended and intertwined with
each other, that the prosperity of one is
the prosperity of the other. Let those
interests be encouraged, so as each to be
commensurate with the other, and who
can conjecture the proud future of Thom
asville ? No miserable, parsimonious, sel
fish policy will be endorsed by our people.
The active minded and energetic, can
not tarry to dally with the drones of the
place. Let the laggards hover around the
cess-pools and gutters, in their own little
locality, and imagine that the world ought
not to grow any larger.
‘‘Tax Payer ” seems to compliment the
Mayor for his efforts to stifle and cripple
the Town. Ido not believe the Mayor can
be guilty of the interference charged to
him. He is the Executive officer of the
Town, and when the Council passes an or
dinance, he is bound to execute it. We
have no controversy with the Mayor. Our
destiny is onward, and we feel confident
the good sense of the Mayor will direct
him in the right track. Let us work har
moniously. Let our Town be a unit, and
let us engage in a common effort to carry
forward every interest, without bickerings
and discontents, and Thomasville will be
the leading city in South-western Georgia.
PROGRESS.
“Tax Payer ” says, “ work the streets
already made and almost impassable.'’
Now, if that advice does not come from a
bad source, I am no judge, for there has
been more work done on the streets of
Thomasville this year, than during the
previous four years, and that without one
cent of money from “ Tax Payer ” or his
friends; the work, also, has been done
where most needed, but “ Tax Payer,” like
others we know of, wanted the work done
near him. or it was not done at all. Al
though we done the worst first, we did not
expect to satisfy such unreasonable per
sons as “ Tax Payer,” and we do not re
gard their murmurings. If “ Tax Payer ”
had been as zealous in the discharge of his
duty, and as anxious to benefit the com
munity as the Street Committee, instead of
writing articles of censure, he would have
opened his eyes to our efforts and given us
comfort. STREET WORKER.

Adjourraenl of the Soldiers end Sail
ors Convention.
Cleveland Sept. 19, —The Con
vention adjourned last night—Gen.
Gordon Granger was President. The
resolutions were adopted by acclama
tion endorsing the Philadelphia Con
vention of August 14th, declaring that
the object of the soldiers in taking
up arras to suppress the late rebellion
was to defend and maintain the su
premacy of the Constitution, and to
preserve the Union with all its dignity
and equality, and the rights ot the
several States unimpaired, and not in
any spirit of oppression, or for any
purpose of conquest and subjugation ;
and that whenever there shall be any
armed resistance to the lawfully con
stituted authority of our National Un
ion either in the South or in the North*
or in the East, or in the West, they
will take up arms to maintain the
Union.
A dispatch from Memphis, signed
by Gen. Forrest and other exConfed
erate officers, was read, expressing
their sympathy with the purposes of
the Convention, and declaring that the
Confederate soldiers are entirely wil
ling to leave the determination of their
rights as citzens of States and of the
United States to the soldiers of the
Union, and on our part we pledge
security of life, person, property and
freedom ot speech and opinion to all.
A suitable answer was returned.

The Great Question.
The New York Ileruld says:
‘•The precise question now before
the Southern States still excluded from
Congress is, whether they shall accept
the advantages offered them with the
immediate adoptijn of the constitu.
tional amendment now before the
States for their ratification, or remain
“out iu the cold” for an indefinite
length of time—one, two five, ten or
twenty years, waiting for something
more acceptable as the price of their
restoration.’’
This, says the Herald , is the ques
tion, of all others, it now feels called
to urge upon the South. The South
feels intensely (bligated, and will no
doubt take the matter into reasonable
consideration at its earliest leisure. —
Meanwhile, that the matter may be
more fully understood, it will be well
enough to study the provisions of the
proposed constitutional amendments,
which are, briefly, as follows :
Ist. That all persons born or natu
ralized in the United States are citi
zens thereof and of the States in which
they reside, and on a footing of per
fect equality in regard to their civil
rights.
2d. That the enumeration of the
people for representation in Congress
shall be abridged in proportion to tho
abridgment of the rights of suffrage
males above the- a S e of twenty-one
years in any State on account ot race
of color. • ; .
3d, That a schedule of persons, civil
and military, engaged in the late re
bellion, shall be ineligible to any fed
eral offi.ee until absolved by
a two-thirds vote of each house of
Congress. • \ ,
4th.. That the- national war debt
shall be held sacred, and that all rebel
debts and 9blig a^t°ns shall be “Utterly
repudiated and held illegal and void.
sth. That Congress shall have pow
er to enforce the provisions of this ar
ticle. . ‘ • • ‘•
How i# jlfoid ihf
The last Radical Congress, with a
view to further burden the cotton plan
ter, laid a Tax of three cents per pound
on the staple, which must be paid be
fore the cotton leaves the Collection
District. But this tax is not charge
able unless the cotton is gent lorward
lor sale or shipment. Now the way
to save the tax is to manufacture co.tou
where it is grown. 1 here will be a
double advantage in this, not only in
the tax of sls per bale of 500 pounds
saved to the producer, but the manu
factured article will bring him twice
the money that the raw material will.
By forming associations in every coun
ty, the planters have thus the oppor
tunity of doing themselves as well as
the country the greatest service. Let
them profit by the opportunity.

Something of the past.—Thir
ty-two years ago, remarks an exchange;
when Aerator Douglas left his Green
mountain home for Illinois, his great
rival, Lincoln, was keeping a post
office, fresh ironi the glories of the
Black Hawk w:ar ; Andrew Johnson
was Mayor of a little town in Tennes
see; J effetson Davis, a Lieutenant
of dragoons, was chasing the Indians ,
Seward was grieving over his defeat
as Governor; Breekinrige was study
ing the orations of Cicero against Cut
aline at kentucky college , Chase was
endeavoring to gain a law pratice in
Cincinnati ; Sumner was entering the
Boston bar; Broderick was cutting
stone; Grant was a schoolboy in his
teens; and Farragut was watching the
honor of his flag on the torrid coast of
Brazil..
Taxation. —The collection of the
diiect tax laid by the Federal Govern
ment having been suspended, we learn
that the Governor does not feel author
ized, by the action of the General As
sembly, to suspend the collection of
the State Tax. To do so would, in
his opinion, be a usurpation of power
properly appertaining to the Repre
sentatives ot the people. The assess
merit, we understand, will be light, not
exceeding twenty cents on the hun
dred dollars The returns of property
subject to the ad valorem tax this
year, exceed the half of those made
in 1860, (exclusive of slaves) but lit
tle more thin twenty millions. But
for this falling off in value of taxable
property, as returned, the assessment
■v ould have been still lighter. —Mil
led geville Recorder.
A Bee-Tamer.— The following is a
description of a bec-charmer, who has
been exciting great interest at the
State Fair at Saratoga :
One of the greatest attractions on
the ground was a great honeybee mon
ger, whose hat, while on his head, was
covered With bees, which appoard like
a small swarm on a bush. Lie. hand
led bees as if they were harmless, flies.
They crawled all over his person, in
his hair and on his face, and he put
some of them in his mouth and blew
them out and handled them at pleasure.
And what was most remarkable is, they
were strange bees, attracted from the
woods or from colonies in the country.
Immense crowds of people hung around
him, continually asking questions and
purchasing the secret oh collecting
be°s from the forest or robbing their
neighbors of their busy workers by
remaining quietly at home. When
every bee was shaken from his hat,
and it was returned to his head,- the
buzzing swarm about him would quick
ly return, completely covering his hat.
The superintendent interfered, as be
affirmed that such an exhibition drew
away too many people. • .
Jndiana Radicals Preparing For
a Rebellion. —The Evansville Courier
chronicles the arrival in that city of a
consignment of 200 muskets, which
were stored in “Wide Awake Hall,”
a room over liuffner’s store with a con
venient entrance from the alley. —-For
some time it has been whispered
around that arms were bdng shipped
from this city to various points in the
State, and we have been privately ad
vised that arms were being received in
the night, and secretly stored at vari
ous localities. May we be permitted
to inquire what all this means? Does
the desperate political gambler who
now disgraces the executive chair in
tend to inaugurate civil war in Indiana?
If such is his intention, we trust he
will stay and see it out, and not sneak
away, as is his custom, when any pre
concerted scheme of villainy is to be
carried out.— Indianapolis Herald.
Tr. Elihu Toland. —We learn
from the Quincy Commonwealth that
Dr. Toland, who was convicted ot Big
amy at the August term of the Coun
ty Criminal Court, was put upon the
block, and hired out by Sheriff Jordan
ti the highest bidder. He was bid in
by the county of Gadsden, for five
years, for $1127,00 the amount of tine
and costs of prosecution. He was re
manded to jail and there awaits the
command of the Board of County
Commissioners. — Argus.

By One who Loved Her'.
Earth has a jewel less, Ilea Ten an angel
more. Abhough there is ■ a sable cloud
thrown o’er the home where a few short
weeks ago alt was joy and mirthfulriess ;
although at the present sits the vacant chair
that was then filled by the lovely wife, the
kind, the devoted mother. Yet amid tears
we smile, and know that our loved one has
left her home on earth for still more beau
tiful home in the land of immortality.
Amiable, gentle and affectionate, those
who knew her best loved her most. And I
gentle reader was one among the many
that loved so dearly, that felt so sadly, the
loss of that fair flower which has been
plucked from earth to bloom more bright
ly in Heaven. We miss her, every heart
heaves forth a sigh, every lash contains a
tear as memory lells us wliat a loss is o-urs,
what a gem is fallen from our circle- Even
the little birds seems to sing less gaily now
than then. The flowers she loved so we 1
speak a silent speech amid t heir dewy tear
drops of the immortal flower transplaated
in the heavenly land. But we will miss
her more by the fire-side when th@ flowers
have decayed. Yet what a hope is ours, a
hope which gently whispers in our loneliest
hours, “you will meet again.” There in a
realm where the rainbow never fades,
where fbe glories that are not #f earth shall
be spread out before us like islands that
slumber on the ocean. There in the “lanu
of golden harps” where the pangs of par
ting are nevr felt—we will meet her there.
Then would w@ eall her back to a world
like this ? No! O! not We say that she
is free from the eares, the sufferings that
We are doomed still to bear. Wc know
that she, has gained a brighter land. Angels
•smoothed the furrows of care from her fore
head and bore her to their home. And
there with a erown upon her head’ she
waits to welcome others. Then we will
not mourn, but wipe away our tears and
live to be welcomed by her there. Fare
well sweet friend until we meet in Heaven.
