Moore, Senator from tills District, tor copies of all the chief reports nntde to the Legislature ut its recent session. We had th;; pleasure also, a few and ys ago of meet ing Mr. Moore in onr sanctum, immedi ately afler his return from the Capitol, where he bas ever been distinguished as one of our best working men. We were glad to see that, notwithstanding he had Mitleted severely with cold, his health was .very good. Prt** - Attention is directed to the card of Prof. W. T. Parsons. Having deteruiiued ’ to. locate permanently in Tiioinasville, he publishes his card, and we congratulate the community upon their good luck in having so accomplished a Musician for the instruction of their children. Prof. Par ents is already too well known in this sec tion to need any eulogy from us, and we only ask our citizens to avail themselves of the fortunate opportunity to have their children thoroughly instructed in Music. ave had the pleasure of meet ing Mr. J. M Martin, traveling agent of ’ .the Macdti, Ga., T l yr'ph- lie will tarry a few days only in Thomasvilie, and those •who desire to patronize the excellent paper I ■* represents,- may find him at the Young House until Friday or Saturday next. The J)nU// Tilegraph is oiui of the best, papers in tlie South, a favorite among our ex changes, while the Mauiuidth Weekly,- sur passes everthing in the paper line now published in the South, both in size and me chanical execution. . J*OITII GI&ORGIA A. FLOBIU.I KtILKOAD. A few weeks ago we published a lengthy . article on this subject, embracing estimates made upon the survey, with appropriate remarks by-Mr. Maxwell; but the article was so badly printed, on account of illness lind absence.of our Foreman from the office ,'nt the time, that we reproduce and repub ‘lish the article in to-day’s issue ort the first page, with such alterations and modi •tieations as circumstances seemed to re quire. * • The subject cannot be too well undtr stood, nor 100 mucii considered by those interested, and in asking attention to tins article the second time, we but ask the attention-df our readers to their own inter txts. . . niiiisiHAtt is t oni.xj! And as the Printer must have his holi day as well as other people, we will issue no paper next week. This, therefore, is our last issue for the old year, but our pre parations are going ou to open, the New Y ear with bur Semi-Weekly . Now is a good time to subscribe, and we hope those, who have not already’ done so, will now come forward promptly and com menee'with ihe New Y'ear. Our subscrip tion price for the Stnu- Weekly is §5.00 m eatiably m advance. Those whose subscrip tions to :he Heeklj have not yet expired, will receive the S- mi- Weekly instead. There .will be no Weekly published, but those who prefer, on account of inconvenience of mail facilities, may subscribe for the Semi- Weekly to be furnished weekly. All delinquent subscribers will be cut off with this issue of the paper, and if they do not receive their papers hereafter, they will know the reason. Hoping, however, that all will renew their subscriptions and •all delinquents settle their bills! with .the least possible deliy, we return our sincere bin Fgrateful thanks for the liberal patron age of the past year, and wish all our . reader* a Hapcv Cukistmas ! MFPF.KIOK COURT. Thomas Superior Court commenced its . December term on nionday last, Honorable • Augustin IT. Hansell presiding. I’heThom asville Bar was present in full force, but except (gnit mail no other places represen ted. From the latter flourishinglittle town, “we had the pleasure of meeting our old friend Col. Hunter, of the firm of Hunter and McCall, who we also cordiaUy recotn ■u -d to all having businesss in that sec tion. The Ihomasville Bar is growing in to formidable dimensions, and taking in connection with the old and experienced Attorneys of established reputation, the large increase of young but promising tal ent at the Bar, we bid fair to be able, to furnish all the legal talent required iu this section. JIDCG OF TUB SOI THERV CIRCUIT Our readers will remember that Gov. ‘Jenkins has appointed Wednesday the 2d -day of J muary, for the electious for Judge aui Solictor General for the Southern Judi cial Circuit. W. B. Bennett Esq., of Brooks, lias announced himself as a Canditate fru •Solictor G eneral of the Circuit, and Col. S- B. Spenser luring declined in his favor Mr. Bennett will, in all probability be elec ted without opposition. For the Judgeship no canditate has been announced—for the reason, that all parties, with one accord, concede the oflj: to Hon, Augustin 11. Han sell, who ha# so long and ably filled the position, that there is not the slighest in clination to displace him. All parties are perfectly sat is tied with his ohyy’ja^- and without the formality of an nouncement as a candidate, he will also be elected without opposition. The Grand i Ju y of Brooks County, at the recent ses sion of their Superior Court, recommended his re-election, and we hope the Grand Jury of Thomas, will follow their example, iu ; honoring one of our most distinguished and j worthy citizens. ■ -m w —— CANVASSING FOR PATRONAGE, The editor of the Bainbridge Argus is disg tsted with the plan of ‘‘canvassing for pair on age,” and has resolved never to i Tie guilty of it again. Since the war he ha’ canvassed all the adjoining Counties. Apalachicola, Ihomasville. Savannah and other places, and now says it is exceedingly distaste fill to him. and his recent vi-it to Savannah but prove? that he is wholly dis- j qualified for the business Henceforth tie means to ?‘ay at home and devote his ener gies to hi? paper.. fr-pT’ We copy the following from the Savannah Herald, of the 14tb inst., in ref- I erenca to th* favorite project of the people | : of this section, and return our thanks to • ! the Herald for the handseme manner in j which it hat presented the subject to the j citizens of Bavannah Whatever may be x-id against the South t eorgia & Florida Railroad by its enemies, all well informed men here and in Savannah, know very well, that whatever benefits it may eonfer , upon Thomasvilie, or other towns in ibis : section, the great aggregate of wealth ac- i eruing from it will be centered on the city of Savannah. Therefore, her people are deeply interested in it, and should hasten Ito give us all the aid in their power. Our citizens, as well as those of Mitchell and Baker Counties, are in earnest about this i road, and ere long they will demonstrate it Iby deeds as well as words. Y\ e have a letter from an influential getltleman in MitchelF'COTnnty, who “assures us, that ! $200,000 can be obtained tn that section to the stock of the Company, and this with , the $300,050 in Thomas, will at once place us above the necessity of aid from any quarter. Month Georgia & Florida Railroad. We learn that the Legislature has pass ed a bill to authorize the City Coancil of Thomasvil'e to issue bonds for taking stock I in the above road, which is designed to connect Tnomasville with Albany, and to be extended ultimately to a point of in tersection with the road spanning the pen ! insula of Florida. We are truly glad to | learn from the Southern Enterprise that the people of the country through which it will pass are wide awake in reference to the accomplishment of this project, and are resolved to give assistance to the full ex tent of their means. It says : “They are looking to Thomas county as the chief agent in -connecting them with Savannah by railroad, and while relying upon our own wealth and importance, are determined also to help themselves. There are many good and able men in that coun ty, filled with a generous public spirit, I aud they desire to be brought as speedily as possible into communication with this sec tion. Let us hasten the good work and give ! them renewed courage.” This is a work in which our city is large- I ly interested, and, therefore, claims * lie attention_of oar merchants and real estate holders. It is destined to place the Atlan tic aud Gulf Road in communication with an extended area of the most productive 1 cotton lands in Georgia, the products of which will seek ihis point as a market or : as an ocean outlet, instead of going as now ! to New Orleans and other points more dis tant and inaccessible. With the comple ! tion of this enterprise and the extension of I the Atlantic and Gulf Road to Bainbridge, ! Southwest Georgia and Middle and West I F'lorida promises to become the finest cot ; ton growing region east of the Mississippi river. The lands and climate of this mag nificent belt of country are admirably adapted to the growth of every species of I vegetation that flourishes any where with j in the temperate zone. e published a | short time since'a letter from an intelligent gentleman, who had traveled through the counties of Stewart, Webster, Sumter, Ran dolph, Terrill, Clay, Calhoun, Dougherty, 1 akcr, Miller, Early, Mitchell, Lee, Dooly, j Worth, Chattahoochee and Marion, urg ing at the request of the citizens of these ‘ large and productive counties their imme diate communication with this city by rail. We have since learned that the planters : who are remarkatle for their intelligence j and enterprise, are embarking with energy into preparations for auother crop, and that the best lands arc renting at the high figures of eleven and twelve dollars per . acre. It is also stated that the labor in this section has been more efficient and un der much belter control than elsewhere iu the entire South. These unquestionable facts demonstrate the importance of the anticipated connection of Thomasvilie with Albany, and the extension of the Atlantic and Gulf road to the point stated, not only . to the sections through which they pass, ; but to this qity as well. We call upon our merchant-, capitalists and property.holders to give the -subject immediate attention, apd if, on examination, they find our views “to be correct, to contribute everything in • their power to establish these highways of trade, which would contribute so greatly to j.the commercial prosperity of their growing city., • . • .’ ■ | • —— m • ■ • frjjfThe Bainbridge Argus is very much annoyed by our “enthusiasm” in the ad ivocacy of the South Georgia & Florida Railroad, and thinks it too “ small” an af fair for Ihe amount of steam we put on. We understand why our advocacy of-this road is so distasteful to our Bainbridge co temporary, but we shall net take his ad vice and “ turn our attention to the Atlan tic &.Gulf Road.” That road is already completed to Thomasvilie. and in-due lime will reach Bainbridge, whether we turn j our attention to it or-not. We will leave j that master to the Argus, the self con stituted • guardian and. pet of the road.— While its editor remains ward of the city of Savannah, and accepted champion of the Atlantic & Gulf Road, he has nothing to fear from the “ small” project of the South Georgia & Florida Iload ; for should the mighty structuie he is rearing give way, in consequence of the gradually undermining progress of our small project, they will rcs- I cue him and take him under their special protection uni patronage. So small a pro ; ject as the South Georgia & Florida Road, should not disturb the grand speculations of the Argus, and we take the liberty of suggesting to is editor, in return, that in future he need not give himself the trouble ot noticing so small an affair. He might have deriveu aa important lesson from the I “ Gnat on thp Bull’s Horn,” for had he no’ spoken, we- feel quite sure his weight would not have been felt in the matter. “The .VI wst Beautiful Hand. —Two charming women were discussing one day what it is which constitutes beauty in the hand. They differed in opinion as much as in the shape of the beautiful members whose merits they were discussing. A gentleman friend presented himself, and, by common consent the question was re- I ferred to him. It was a delicate matter. He thought of Paris and the 8 goddesses. Glancing from one to the other of the beau tiful white hands presented him, which by the way, he had the cunuiug to hold for some time in his own. for the purpose of examination, he replied at last : “ I give it up ; the question is 100 hard for me • but ask the poor, and they will tell vou that the most beautiful hand in the world is the hand that gives.” Will our readers remember when they ; read the above that Christmas is close at j hand, and that no better time will ever be ‘ presented to them to make their “ hands beautiful.'’ How beautiful is the hand that ■ gives to the needy! Don’t give to those : who are able to return your gifts, but, make glad the hearts of the poor, who can make you no return. We are about to cele- ! brate the birthday of our Saviour—shall any be sorrowful on that blessed day ? j Remember that He was the friend to the poor while on earth, and ia His Holy Word promises to bless those who consider the poor. He is still the friend of the poor, and let us remember that we must all meet Him face to face, sooner or later, and give an account of our conduct toward the poor. We are His stewards here below, having His goods in our hands. Let us be care ful that they are well bestowed. Remetn bor the poor. A NEW WORK. We have received a Circular from the National Publishing o/S^K 1 nenih <md Main Streets, Richmond, I’fe,, call ing our attention to accompanying speci men sheets tnken in advance of publication, * |on Aleiasde* H. Stxpiikis, in Public and Private, with Letters, Speeches, &c„ i by Henry Cleveland, Esq., formerly editor of the Augusta Constitutionalist. The mine es the great man who is the snbject of thi* new book, is sufficient to give it favor in all this country, and the ■ only remaining information needed on subject, is ihe character and ability es t|e , compiler or author of the work. This gen ilwnan, we are informed, is Henry Cleve land, formerly Editor of the Augusta Con stitutionalist. Col. Cleveland has long been regarded as au able writer and accomplish ed gentleman, and bis lifetime acquaint- < ance and familiarity with Ron. A. H. Ste phens gave him a’l the advantages required. It is a sufficient recommendation of the work, however, that it has been read and approved by Mr. Stephens himself. The work will soon be ready, and are ; wanted for K3 sale. THE lItf.VIEMTEAD 811.1.. The new Homestead Bill met its death in the Governor’s veto, and those who re joiced over its passage, have now to lament its death. The Homestead law therefore stands on the statute book as before. All the bills asking State Aid for Rail roads also failed, except that fbr the Macon & Brunswick Road, which was passed. Bills of importance which have not ap peared in our columns, will appear here-., after. Tall Bragging.— ‘‘ The Albany Patriot is the best advertising medium in South Western Georgia. It ha3 the largest pay ing circulation efany paper in ihissection.” The above we see paraded at the head es the columns of the Albany Patriot and similar notices may be seen in every week ly paper in this section.— Sumpter Repub lican. If the Republican considers us in South western Georgia, we usk its editor to cor rect his mistake. He has seen no such notice paraded in the columns of the En-\ terprise, for we never deemed it necessary to tell a falsehood to get patronage. But we do not see how the Republican cart cen sure the Albany Patriot, when it (the Re publican), professes to have 500 wore sub scribers than any other paper in this sec tion. The Argus says 500 is about the number of the Republican’s circulation We don’t profess to know, but if you live in a glass house don’t throw stones —— Railroad Meeting in Mitchell County. In accordance with notice previously giv en by a Committee appointed at a former meeting, for the purpose ot inviting dele gates from other counties, and to have a general meeting of the citizens of Mitchell, many of the citizens of Mitchell met at the Court House in Camilla, Dec. 10, 1860. Col. Jas J.lSra-lford acted as Chairman, and Dr. J. B. Twitty as Secretary. The object of the meeting, practicability, im] ortanoe and benefits of a Railroad eOn nec'ing Albany and Thomasvilie. was ap propriately and ably discussed by the Chair. , A letter from Mr. Screven, President of the A. & G. R. R. was read, and elaborately .explained and commented on by Col. Gee. On motion, a Committee of six were ap pointed consisting of Col. Gee, J. P. Heath, J. B. Butler, J. B. Twitty, Col. Orr and E. H. Shackelford, to invite delegations from Thomas and Baker Count.es, to meet at Camilla on the 2ath instant, to settle on the most practicable and best route to build said road. On motion, the meeting adjourned until 27th instant. JAS. J. BRADFORD, Chair’n. J. B Twirrv.

The closing speeches of the pre siding officers of both Mouses are ex pres.sive of great determination not to succumb to unlawful demands. The sentiment of the Legislature seems decided in favor of Territorial rather than acceptance of the constitutional amendment of similar terms. The Speaker of the Mouse, in his closing address, bade the Country hope that the tide of fanaticism would exhaust itself, and that constitutional prit<c ; i pies would yet pr vail. The President of rhe Senate, in his spe eh, sa : d : “Obey all laws anu cleave to the Constitution ; but human forbearance had Innas, and tho worm would turn if tfudion on.*’ There was great applause iu both Houses at these sentiments. The veto of the extension of the Homestead act was sustained. Five vet es wire sent in, anl only that of the Stay Law was overridden. Washington, December 14, p. m. —There is great rejoicing by the ne. groes and their white friends over the negro suffrage btil which was passed in both Houses by a majority which places it beyond the peril of veto. The biacks of the District of Columbia arc to have, therefore, hereafter, equal political equality with the whites.
