Prince Fred Grant sailed with

A certain bullock in our State

And when he saw his coming fate,
he fled up north where he was born.
The Radical papers, North and
South, now say that Bullock is a dis
grace to the party. He surely can’t
be that mean!
The Cincinnati Enquirer is of the
opinion that our manifold causes for
thanksgiving are seriousl}' m rred
by the fact that Congress will soon
meet and Grant will have to deliver
another message.
The Washington Patriot came out

Grant is said to be opposed to

The demand for troops to “ lay”

One of the curious features of the

A South Carolina paper thinks
Union county owed its exemption

supposing that all the people of Un

therefore, he included Marion county
in the proclamation, and if he had
known that Sumter county was also
named after a Rebel” General, no
doubt that county would also have
been included.
The latest surmise as to the ob

THE PUBLIC PRINTING.
Much feeling and doubtless much
anxiety exists among several of the
Proprietors of News papers in the
State as to the disposition which the
Legislature will make of the Pub
lic printing. The Atlanta papers
naturally enough feel and express a
deep solicitude upon the subject, be
cause being upon the ground they
deem themselves most likely per
haps, to share the favors which the
Legislature has it in its power to be
stow. Among others our old friend
Burk, of Macon, is also upon the tapis
and prepared at all points to take
his share in this public pie. To
each and all, being of the same
Craft, we feel especially friendly,
and as they are all good Democrats
we have politically of course no
presence as to who may be the for
tunate receiver of this little matter
of Legislative patronage. No Editor
or paper, true to the party has any
right to deem himself more, worthy
of the votes of members than any
other, because of any fancied or real
superiroity in vindicating the princi
ples of the party, where all have
been equally zealous and faithful.
The setting up of any such claims
might not only smack strongly of
personal vanity not quite agreeable
to the balance of the brethren of the
press, even if it were true, but pre
sents nothing really, substantial or
worthy of consideration by the
Legislature. The only question to
consider, and the only one which we
hope the Legislature will at all re
gard, is how can the work be done
most economically and properly, and
who is ready and willing to take it
upon that ground. Party fealty
may have its weight, but at the same
time the man who will best perform
the labor for the smallest sum of
money is the man who ought to have
the work. It is and ought to be a
question mainly of dollars and cents.
The people of the State have no
money just now to give away to
party favorite, hardly enough to pay
their burdhnsome taxes, and the
treasury exhausted by the goring of
our departed Bullock and his satel
lites is in no condition to be manip
ulated for the benefit of favorites.
We would just as soon see the
Constitution, which is and has al
ways been a partisan and worthy fa
vorite of ours the fortunate candi
date, as its spicy and brilliant neigh
bor, the Sun, or the longheaded and
capital business man, Jno. W. Burke,
provided the Legislature may choose
to select the one or the other.
Among the brethren we choose to
make no choice, when all are worthy
and competent for the work. What
we have to say is simply this, that
in our opinion, the printing ought to
be given to the lowest bidder. In
this we agree with the position taken
by the Sun, and believe that while
it would result in accomplishing for
the State the best bargain that could
be made, it would at the same time
be fair to all who are desirous to ob
tain it, and no one could have the
right to complain if he did not prove
successful. A caucus of the mem
bers may give the printing to a fa
vorite, or fortunate combinations
may secure it, but the lowest bidder
is the only proper way in our judg
ment to do justice. In that event
some of the country papers might
come in, and by such offers as they
could and would make, would be
found hard customers in the hands
of the City Press. We might come
in ourselves, for we too can do the
work, we hope, quite as well as more
pretentious and popular organs, as
could also many others of our more
modest country - publishers. We
say precisely what we mean, and
again avow the opinion that the low
est bidder plan is the best plan, and
the one which we trust the Legisla
ture will adopt. It is free from
cliques, rings, Combinations and
favoritism, and is fair, open and
honest, and cheapest and best. We
agree with Mr. J. Henly Smith,
that “it matters but little who per
forms the work, it the people be not
unduly bled for it.”
EUROPEAN NEWS.
The special Washington corres
pondent of the Savannah News tele
graphs under date of the Bth inst.:
Semi-official information received
here from Europe, treats of the cer
tainty of an impending war between
Prussia and Austria on the one hand,
and probably between Russia and
France on the other to start with.
The writer, a man of prominence,
who is thoroughly posted in Europe
an polities, says the alliance of Prus
sia and Austria is an accomplished
fact.
The present Emperor of Russia
has repeated the overtures made by
Nicholas to Charles the Tenth, of
France, in 1829, and which the lat
ter declined to accept. These over
tures have been accepted by the
present French Government, and the
preliminaries were Bigned by the
Representatives of France and Rus
sia at Nice on October 2d. In con
firmation of these statements, it is
well known that military prepara
tions are being made in Germany on
the most extensive scale, and all the
arsenals and Government work
shops are taxed to their utmost ca
pacity. Russia is also preparing for
war on a scale almost incredible.
We wish it kept before the people
especially the young ones, that dram
drinking is the fruitful source of
poverty, misery, crime, disgrace and
ruin. Young men, avoid the dram
shop or drinking saloon, as pits of
destruction; and young ladies, be
ware of young men who frequent such
places, if you would avoid a life of
untold sorrow.

NOMINATION FOR GOVERNOR.
The Macon Telegraph and Messen
ger in commenting upon an article
from the “ correspondent of the Au
gusta Chronicle and Sentinel, under
date of November 11th, written con
cerning the nomination of Mr. Nor
wood as United States Senator,”
the questien, “ Is there a “ ring”
ineide the Democratic party of Geor
gia,” a question directly induced by
the remark of the correspondent of
the Chronicle, writing from Atlanta,
Ahich is as follows : “It is said and
with no little emphasis and feeling,
that a coalition in the party exists,
which has steadily developed itself
in certain nominations and elections,
and will find its culmination in Gen
eral Wofford’s nomination for Gov
ernor,” and farther, “ the question
of combinations and rings is over
fraught with all sorts of troubles for
any party.” In this it is plainly
observable that the nomination and
subsequent election of Senator Nor
wood was attributable to the opera
tions and management of these sup
posed or real “ combinations and
rings,” at the same time, however,
plastering over this insinuation as
to the improper if not corrupt means
by which he was nominated, with
the declaration that he “is one of
the most estimable and talented of
the party, and in all things will
bear himself like a true man in every
trust and emergency.” The compli
ment of the correspondent we think
is pretty equally balanced by the
slur which his insinuated connection
with “ combinations and ring 9,”
casts upon Mr. Norwood.
We do not know Mr. Norwood,
and like the balance of the papers
outside of Savannah, have hitherto
heard but little of him, but are
ready and willing to accept him as
au fait in every particular, as ho is
now the accredited Senator of the
party and of the State. We know
nothing of the means by which he ob
tained the nomination, but presume
injustice to him and the majority of
the party, that it wa9 fairly and mer
itoriously confirmed. The attention
of that gentleman having been called
to such a report, he addressed the
following note to the Constitution,
which we think should wholly exon
erate him from the charge:
Editors Constitution — Gents : Having
been informed, that while the ballotting for
a nominee as United States Senator was
progressing in the Democratic caucus on
Friday night last, a report, was circulated
among the Members to the effect that Gen.
W. T. Wofford and I had forined a combina
tion for the purpose of securing, first, my
nomination and election a3 Senator, and,
afterwards, his nomination and election as
Governor for the unexpired term of Gov.
Bullock I beg leave to state through the
Constitution, that the report was, and is, ut
terly untrue. It was the figment of some in
ventive brain.
I make this statement not only in justice
to myself, but injustice to General Wofford
who is being made the innocent victim of
this unfounded report.
I was supported by the friends of every
distinguished gentleman whose name was
then, and now is spoken of in connection
with the Governorship.
I will state further, in conclusion, that I
have every assurance that no such under
standing or combination existed between
the respective friends of Gen. Wolford and
of myself. Very Respectfully,
T. M. Norwood-
The statement made by Mr. Nor
wood not only vindicates himself
from the injurious report which was
circulated in the Legislature, and
has since been published to the
world, but is sufficient of itself to
put a quietus on the charge. So far
as Gen. Wofford is concerned, we
are authorized to say that any in
timation or statement connecting
him with any such “ Combination
or Ring” with Lis consent or »p
--prolbat ion, is altogether untrue, and
that if his name was used in any
such connection or for any such
purpose or for any other, m behalf of
himself or any other person, that it
was altogether without his knowl
edge or consent, of which he was,
and is now, entirely ignorant. We,
unlike some other of our brethren of
the press, are in favor of Gen. Wof
ford’s election as Governor, and have
so declared ourselves, because we be
lieve that he is a proper man for the
position, and, if public service entitles
one to the office, is as deserving of
the place as any other whose name
has been mentioned.
Like the Messenger we are no
man’s man, but at the same time we
prefer the nomination of Gen. Wof
ford, whether made by the Legisla
ture or the party in Convention.
Any other Democrat selected as the
candidate before the people will
meet our hearty and cheerful en
dorsement, but our preferences are
for Gen. Wofford, as a deserving
and competent man.
We say again that we are author
rized to say that ho is unconnected
with any Combination, Clique, or
Ring, as is strongly intimated, in
his own behalf, or in behalf of oth
ers. We have felt it due to this
gentleman to say so much, and think
it hard that he should be caused to
suffer in the public estimation and
his political relations, because of a
report which is altogether ground
less. Coroborative of the state
ments above made, we call atten
tion to the subjoined communica
tion to the Constitution, doubtless,
written by a Democratic member
by the Legislature: -
Atlanta, Ga., Nov. 15, 1871.
Editors Constitution : In the Chronicle
and Sentinel of the Uth inst., a correspon
dent from this place over the name of
“Oislow” uaes the following language:
“It is said, and with no little emphasis and
feeling, that a coalition in the party exists
which has steadily developed itself in cer
tain nominations and will find its culmina
tion in General VI offord’s nomination for
Governor. Last night this feeling in the
caucus gave rise to no small degree of con
fusion, and led, I am informed, to the with
drawal of a number of Democrats, probably
as large a number as thirty.”
I do not desire to engage in any contro
versy, but truth and justice authorize and
require me to say that, so far as Gen Wof
ford is concerned, there is not, and has not
been, and will not be, any “coalition.’’
His friends advocate his election on what
they claim to be ha ments, and not other
wise Neither himself nor hm friends have
promised any office whatsoever, to secure
influence, nor wilUhey do so.
I trust w« shall not have occasion again
to meet such charges. They are false —to-
tally false. Gentlemen have the right to
oppose his election with or without reason,
but in doing so they will not knowingly be
guilty of circulating falsehood. I beg leave
to add that according to the standard which
the General’s friends recognize “it is said”
hi not sufficient authority to justify such
charges as are contained in “Onslow’s” ar
ticle. Bartow Cocstt.
We have nothing more to add on
this subject, only asking of the coun
try at large, such confidence in Gen.
Wofford in this matter, as is due to
one of our most prominent and pop
ular and reliable men. Whether
there be combinations or rings at
Atlanta, we know not, and for our
selves would have nothing to do with
them, heartily endorsing as we do in
the main the very strong and sensi
ble article of the Telegraph and
Messenger, while at the same time
we think it not only legitimate but
altogether proper and right to advo
cate becomingly the claims of worthy
men to office and promotion.
Our readers will pardon an edi
torial perhaps already too long, if
we afford them the pleasure of read
ing the following leader of the Tele
graph and Messenger, to which refer
ence has already been made :
We have heard es the existence of this
“ring” before, and every day’s advices
from Atlanta seem to confirm the truth of
the rumors that have reached us, and to
which this correspondent refers. We re
gret, deeply regret, this state of things.
As the correspondent well says, it is full of
danger to the party, aud we do not hesitate
here and now to denounce it as wrong in
principle and sure to lead to results of
which, perhaps, the coalitionists have not
seriously thought. It will sow seed whose
harvest will be discord and bitter antago
nism, if not open, actual revolt in sections
without whose support even the coalition
ists cannot hope to enjoy the fruits of their
bargaining. We denounce all these rings
or coalitions as inimical to the Democratic
party, and therefore to the prospects of fix
ing the full control of matters in Georgia
in honest hands.
We care nothing for General Wofford,
nor Colonel Smith, nor any other candi
date whose claims for Governor, or any
other office, are just now being urged.
Any man who can get an honest nomina
tion for Governor, or any other position,
will have our cordial support. But this is
a question that rises high above all petty,
personal or sectional considerations. It
holds in its solution tho life or death of the
Democratic party of Georgia as a compact,
harmonious, irresistible organization. If
ever it come3 to bo fully understood that
by a combination between certain men,
representing certain sections, all other
considerations except those of mere avail
ability or membership of, and active, zeal
ous work for the “ring” are to be cast aside
in awarding honors, then those who are
outside will surely resent such injustice.
When the time comes that a coalition be
tween any set of men, or any two sections
of the State, has so firmly fixed itself in
side the party as to decree who shall fill
its offices and reap its official rewards to
the total, contemptuous exclusion of all
who do not belong to it, aud who will not
bow the knee before it, then thejend ofDem
ocratic ascendency in Georgia is near at
hand. The Democrats of the other sec
tions of the State will not tamely submit to
such ostracism. They will not lie flat on
their backs aud allow themselves thus to
be ground to powder between two mill
stones. We write in the interests .of no
man, nor clique, nor even sections. We
have no special candidates for any office,
but if there is a ring inside the Democratic
party of Georgia, we are dead against its
candidates, from the highest to the lowest.
We denounce these coalitions as wrong
in every aspect, and from every standpoint.
We denounce them as necessarily corrupt
and corrupting. We denounce them as ne
cessarily greedy and selfish to an extreme
that leaves no room to any thought or care
for public or party weal. We denounce
them as the instruments by which incompe
tent, unworthy men are thrust upon the
parly and the people, merely because they
are supposed to be available, and to carry
out a bargain. Finally we denounce them
as death stabs at the very vitals of the or
ganization that has rescued an oppressed
people and a plundered treasury from the
tyrants aud bandits of Radicalism, and the
only organization which can, in the future,
give either any assurance of safety. Down
with all rings—lea* - e them to the foul sac
tion that first made them prominent in
American politics, and up with the Demo
cratic party, one and Indivisible—dealing
out equal and exact justice to all its mem
bers and elements, and awarding its honors
by the measure of personal and public de
serving, alone.

many fine looking young men in the
Legislature of Georgia, and what was
still more gratifying, I did not see
a member driuk a drop of ardent spir

Now, if this Democratic Legislature
will reduce the salaries of all the offi
cers in the State down to a sum ade
quate only to the services rendered,
and their own per diem from nine to
five dollars, and amend the penal code,
so as to put every mail that is convict
ed of stealing the public money in the
penitentiary from ten to forty years,
discretionary with the court, it will re
duce the taxes of the people at least
one half of what they pay now, and
guard the Treasury of the State from

FROM OUR CARROLL COUNTY COR
[For the Standard A Express.
Messrs. n i* ffew of the various
contemplated Rashoad enterprises, that are
“ttHstined to pas.* through this and adjacent
counties, it may not be amiss t« give the
aumerous readers of your valuable paper
some idea of the wealt h of the mineral dis
trict, in and about this place. I have been
for many years a practical miner; aud my
conclusions as to this country are based up
on practical observations, fully as much as
they are upon strictly geological princ : ples.
In prospecting for minerals, the gangue or
out-croppings of the vein should be careful
ly noticed by the miner, in order to obtain
a knowledge of their peculiarities, and va
rious combinations and associations, which
is of great value to him in determining the
extent and probable richness of the veins.
For instance, the miner form3 an opinion
of the character of a lode by the character
of the veinstone. Thus in Cornwall, above
the veins, w here rich deposits of copper ap
pear, is a mass of iron ore matter known as
gossan. It is on this same character, or
class of indications, that copper has been
discovered in California and Duck Town,
Team, and also at Villa Rica, Ga.
The richness of a vein is also greatly in
fluenced by the character of the materials
that form or constitute its walls, and there
can really exist no rich, well-concentrated
vein of mineral unless the enclosing rock
be favorable to such development; and the
best character of rock in which a vein can
be found is that of a regular granular trap
possessing a moderate degree of firmness.
Granite is generally found near all the
mining regions where copper ores have
been discovered in sufficient quantities to
be profitably worked; and formed good and
permanent mines. The veins are more pro
ductive as a geueral thing in the soft, de
composed kinds than they are in the harder
granitic formations.
It is a demonstrated fact that copper is
confined to no particular position in the ge
ological column, but ranges all the way from
the limestone to the granite, and whether
discovered at Cornwall, Duck Town, Cali
fornia, or Villa Rica, Ga., has certain char
acteristics or peculiarities that belong to
the country in which it exists. Thus prov
ing that certain laws, or principals, regu
late and govern the formation of ail those
metalic veins. It is my opinion that those
leads and beds of gossan at one Lime con
tained a considerable percentage of copper;
but during their long exposure to rains and
atmospheric influences have passed away
by the slow but certain process of oxida
tion and decomposition, while the ores be
low water-level are preserved in their origi-
nal purity.
But as there are several theories advanc
ed in regard to the formation of veins, I can
only give such information as I consider re
liable, and have obtained from practical ob
servation and experience.
My opinion in regard to the Villa Rica
copper mines is, that they are veins of the
yellow sulphuret of copper, containing more
or less gold and silver, laying much nearer
the surface than those of Duck Town, and
many other mining districts, and in this re
spect possessing a decided advantage over
those localities. The yellow sulphuret of
copper has been found at the depth of sev
enty-five feet from the surface with a regu
lar well defined vein, enclosed in a beautiful
granitic rock, forming that character of
walling in which a productive and regular
paying vein is best developed.
In forming rich beds of the black oxide
es copper, I am inclined to the belief that
the yeilow sulphurets are exhausted to a
certain depth—having been thrown up by
volcanic action in a molten or heated state
from below, and afterwards crystalized,
thus accounting for the heavy mass of hard
material intervening between the oxides of
copper, and the original primative yellow
sulphuret veins.
Here a field of investigation opens to the
mineral mind, far beyond the geological
ken; the beauties and curiosities with which
those rich metalic veins are studded, slum
bering in their silent wealth, only awaiting
the fluctuations of time to be brought to
light and utility.
The Villa Rica copper regions embrace a
considerable scope of territory. I will only
speak at present of what is known as the
“Chambers copper lead.” It is estimated
to be about five miles in length, with sur
face indications at some points, where there
are large swells on the vein, from thirty to
forty feet in width, consisting of pure cop
per gossan, and quartz, &c., &c.
Some of the properties on this lead are
desirably situated for mining purposes, es
pec;ally, the Hill, Chambers, Wick and
Hart mines. Shafts have been sunk at all
these points, and copper cut, except in the
Hart shaft, where the work was abandoned
just as they were merging the cap of the
vein.
It has also been cut at various other points
on this lead, but the work in every instance
was suspended just at that point where the
promise of the vein to a paying conclusion
was the most flattering and encouraging to
the owners.
The want of mining skill, enterprise and
capital have kept these valuable mining
properties in the back ground, when in
reality they are the most valuable of any
that have ever yet been discovered in the
Southern States. And the time is not far
distant when they will be fully developed,
making rich the owners, and adding greatly
to the material wealth of the State.

From England comes the report
of one more of those startling cases
of assassination which have made
the past few months memorable in
the annals of eccentric homicide.

(or, as otherwise reported, seventy
six) years of age, formerly master
of a great public school, and now
living out his later days in comfort
and in the enjoyment of public con
fidence and esteem at Stockwell,
near London, suddenly seized with
a lit of blind passion, murders his al
most equally aged wife by beating out
her brains. This done and contriving
some hasty plan to conceal the body,
he writes a letter briefly confesing
the deed and takes strychnine, but
failing in bis attempt, is arrested
and is now on trial for the m urder.

All people would undoubtedly prefer a
fine head of hair grown upon their own
heads, to being bald, or wearing false hair ;
and it has been the study of many of our
learned men to find a remedy to restore the
hair when it has fallen out, and renew its
color after it has become gray. Such a rem
edy has been found, and is now offered to
the world under the name of Hall’s Vegeta
ble Sicilian Hair Renewer; and, to verify
this statement, read the following;
This is to certify that I was very bald ; in
fact my head was perfectly smoothc; and it
is common in my family to grow bald early
in life. I have now used four bottles of
Hall’s Vegetable Sicilian Hair Renewer;
and the hair has grown out all over my
head, and is now a natural brown.
