Josiphcs Asm was having been providentially hindered from preaching on In faiti Baptism , on Sabbath, the 30th of Sept., ‘will preach on that subject, God willing, on Sunday the 7th of October. After service on that day the Regular Church Meeting will be held. PLANTERS NOTICE. There will be & Meeting of Planters held at Col Fouche’s School Room, on Saturday Morning, 6th inst., at eleven o’clock, fur the purpose of forming a Planters Exchange or Agricultural Society. our first page we present to our readers the excellent reply of “ S. F.” a Tnoraasville correspondent of the Metro politan Record, to a Northern firm, solicit ing Southern patronage. It is a “ two •aged sword,'’ and mows down whole regi ments and brigades of Northern patriots and philanthropists. is directed to the Commis tion Card of Messrs. Austin & Ellis, of Savannah. Mr. Austin has for many years been a resident of Tallahassee and Apa lachicola. Fla., and is therefore already well known to many in this section of the country. . - -m ■ - J. Mt'IIIFF A BRO. Are determined not to be excelled, either in the quantity, quality, or prices of their geoods, and the reader will accordingly find, by reference to their large advertise ment, that they are holding out great in ducements to customers. Their house is one of the largest dry goods establish ments in Thomasville, and affords every advantage claimed in their line of business. _ — —• • •- BOI.TED CORN MEAL’ We are requested to give notice that Mr. A. F. Franklin has accepted the Agency at Thomasville, for the sale of Bolted Lorn Meal, from the famous “ Enterprise Mills,” of Messrs. Wade & Bro, Sava h. He will be constantly receiving large quantities of this Meal at his Produce and Provision Store, which he proposes to- seH at Mill prices —with the atWiiion only of the cost f transportation. ■ ■ - •• ♦ m ■■■"* 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, N*rth or South. • - 1 ■ - ■ m m ■■ r 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. Death af Gea. Lradbetler. New Votk, Sept 27. Gen. D. Leadbetter, late of the Confederate army, died at Clifton, C.

Moved and carried unanimously, that Council tender their cordial thanks to the arbitrators in carrying out the arbitration A petition from E. J. Young, to remove one of his outhouses to another part of his lot was considered and granted. A petition to the same effect from Dr. P. S. Bower was also granted. Council took up for consideration the Town Tax, which was assessed at one-half of one per cent, on all taxable property except bonds, bills, notes, accounts, and other evidences of debt, which are assessed at one-sixth of one per cent., to be collect ed as soon as the Clerk can prepare the books. Council then went into the consideration of laying out the streets and burial lots of the new Cemetery. After this the following section was of fered as a substitute for the 11th section of the general Ordinance on Licenses : Substitute for Section lltA License Ordinance. Sec. 11. No person or persons shall bar ter, sell, give or furnish, directly or indi rectly, by himself or any other person, to any minor, without the consent of his or her parent or guardian, or to any person who is at the time drunk, any spirituous liquors or intoxicating drink. Any person or persons violating this Ordinance, or suffering the same to be done on his or their premises or place of business, shall forfeit their License, and be presented to the Grand Jurors of the County for pun ishment in terms of the law. The amendment offered at last meeting for extending the Fire District over blocks U and V, was laid over for consideration by a fuller Board of Aldermen. The account of Wm, P. Flanagan, for street work, was ordered to be paid, Council then adjourned. WM. CLINE, Clerk. - ■ —* r 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. m ♦ 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. The State Tax One- Sixth of One Per Cent.— An official dispatch from John J.

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. ‘‘L.” TOWN TAXES * lAM now ready to receive the Town Taxes for the \ ear 1866, at my office, over Ains worth & Sanford’s Store.
