I > roilamall«n AdverlUing.
Some of our Into exchanges congrat
ulate Gov. Bullock in that His Excel
lency is confining the publication cf
his Proclamations to public Journals
in the vicinity of the places where
crime is committed, and where the of
fender is known, and likely to be ap
prehended, instead of broad-casting
them over the State, and placing them
in journals distant fre m the scene of
offense and not likely to be read in
the region where the offender lives.
If the Governor ever gave any evi
dence of such improvement, we are
sorry to say that the fevm has return
ed upon him again, and he is once
more at his old work. The Cartcrs
ville Standard, a (paper published in
this town,) under its column headed
“Official Advertising,” in its last
week’s issue, publishes three more pf
these precious documents, in relation
to crimes committed in the counties of
Dougherty, Chatham and Muscogee,
hundreds of miles distant from this
place, and all lying in the lower por
tion of the State, and it would, per
haps, not be very far from the mark,
were w r e to venture the assertlbn that
there are not, to-day, in each of these
counties, three subscribers apiece to
the Standard —outside of its exchang
es. The same might be said of many
other Proclamation papers. We are
glad to see any printer or publisher
fairly succeed in his laborious, useful
and poorly paid vocation, but we can
not refrain once more denouncing this
action upon the part of the Governor,
as unwise, and inrproper, and doing
no possible good to any human being
on earth, and only operating as a bo
nus to the paper which may, at the
expense of the people, put these Proc
lamations in its columns. Thousands
of money are thus taken out cf the
pockets of our poor, hard-working peo
ple, who need every dollar of it to sup
port their families, and at one Execu
tive dab, put into the pockets of thebe
Executive favorites, who in these pub
lications, render no service to the
State. We are glad to see our old
friends of the Standard do well, and
hope they will reap a rich income
from a legitimate printing business,
but we do think that it is hard that
Pie people of this county, and this re
gion, and this State, should be, in this
Executive way, compelled by the Gov
ernor, to put their hands in their pock
ets, and take from their wives, and
children, their money, the hard-earn
ings of their daily labor, and pay it
over to these Proclamation papers,
tho Standard among them. Such a
course on the part of the Governor,
may, and will, help his favorites while
living, and buy tombstones for dead
editors, but if carried far enough, will
starve the tax-payer, while it inevita
bly simply w r astes the public money.
While writing the above, that ster
ling paper, the Atlanta Constitution,
by Saturday’s mail, comes in, and from
it we clip the following on the same
subject:
“a WORD 10 GOV. BULLOCK.
The action of Governor Bullock in
confining the advertisement of that
Hall county proclamation to the papers
t f that section and its surrounding
country, has elicited commendation
from a number of our worthiest State
journals that have been in sturdy op
position to the Governor.
“We call Governor Bullock’s atten
tion to this fact. The remonstrances
of the press against wrong aeto of the
administration are the outgivings of
the people, whose benefit and good
opinion the administration should seek
to obtain. When the wishes of the
people are contemptuously ignored, to
say nothing of the law violated, no
State administration can expect to be
sustained. The officers of the govern
ment are but the servants of the peo
ple, and should bear themselves as
t . eh.
“We urge the Governor to continue
this right reform.”
If, as slated above, “the remonstran
ces of the press against the wrong
acts of the administration are the out
givings of the people, whose benefit
and good opinion the administration
should seek to obtain,” then it would
necessarily follow that ary Democratic
administration would give instant heed
to the expressed will of the people, and
every Democratic press should urge his
v acquiesence with that will Here
then, can be no dispute. If it be the
duty of the Governor to give heed to
the v ishes of the people, it is also the
duty of the Democratic press to give
that will expression. If, however, the
Governor, influenced by his Radical
policy, shall disregard all such remon
strances, and plunge his hands down
' deep mto the Treasury of the State in
defiance of the people and tire good of
the State, it is still no less the dutv of
the press to oppose such reckless
eqinueriug of tb ir uieaus, and let
‘he people know what becomes of the
i. x money they have paid to the offi
of too law. The Democratic press
should keep aloof from any participa
tion in this plundering of the public,
and leave it to those, whose vocation it
is. * We say then that the publication
of; these Proclamations in Up-Country
journals, which have no circulation,
and it may be have never even been
heard of by the people of the lower
part of the State, is a wrong to the
whole people, wrong in itself, wrong
in the governor, wrong in the. paper
publishing them, and should receive,
j as it will receive, the condemnation of
every man in the community, who
thinks of it for a moment.
We conclude these remarks with
the following communication to the
paper above mentioned:
“OX ADVERTISING GOV. BULLOCK 8 PROCLA
MATIONS.
“Editor Constitution : I have found
but one fault with your warfare
: against the advertising of Bullock’s
| proclamations—the heat of battle is
fought at the wrong time.
“Money is the root of many evils; and
if there is anything in the world that
1 can cramp the moral powers of the
I soul, and shut out everything else but
self, it is this mighty agent. Do not,
therefore, open batteries when the
money bag is sent out, but wait until
all is quiet and calm, then the judg
ment may be reached.
“I do not charge corruption, treach
ery, or that for gold any have sold
themselves, but there is a secret, silent
influence that follows the gingle of a
dollar, that your brethren of the press
have compromised themselves so far
as to be beyond your recovering when
the spell is strongest.
“The subject is a simple one, and
needs no moral philosopher to seek
for hidden truths to make more plain.
“Is the advertising in express obe
dience of law ? is it an implication of
law absolutely necessary for public
weal ? or is it by implication of law
for partisan purposes ? If in express
ed obedience of law, or necessary and
by implication of law, it is not wrong.
If for partisan purposes and useless, it
is wrong, and papers engaging in it
are parties to the plunder, and should
not deserve public confidence.
“The conclusion is easily drawn.
“If it is the duty of the papers to
protect the public interest, is it not as
much their duty to “raise the wind”
when the money is uselessly lavished
upon them, as upon other parties ?
Ii they fail is it not sufficient evidence
of moral depravity ? You have argued
the questions well. The people are
with you to a man. Respectfully,
Champolion.
Since writing the above, our atten
tion has been attracted by the follow
ing, on the same subject, from the
Savannah Republican:
“reward.
“Bullock gets up the following lo
cal. We find it floating around in the
proclamation papers:
“Whereas, Official information has
been received at this Department,
that a murder was committed in the
county of Chatham on or about the
20th of February last, upon the body
of Chavis Davis, by one Richard
Grant, as is alledged, and that said
Grant has fled from justice:
1 have thought proper, therefore, to
issue this my proclamation, hereby of
fering a reward of Five Hundred Dol
lars for the apprehension and delivery
of said Grant, with proof sufficient to
convict, to the Sheriff of said county
and State, in order that he may be
brought to trial for the offense with
which he stands charged.
“The beauty of the above contribu
tion to the contribution papers, is
that there has been no such occurrence
in this county. The joke only cost the
State about S7OO. The parties above
alluded to must be negroes, as w'hite
men’s lives are only valued by Bullock
at about SIOO apiece.”
The lute Agricultural Conven
tion at Macon Georgia.
We gather from a corrsepondent of
the Griffin Star, the following propo
sition, adopted by said Convention,
which will be read with interest, by
our readers.
Among the numerous important
measures brought under consideration
by the Convention were the following:
A resolution was adopted, asking the
Legislature for the passage of a -“stock
law,” whereby owners of stock be com
pelled to keep their stock fenced up,
or doing away with the necessity of
the general fence system, only in so far
as will be required to restrain the usu
al roving and trespassing proclivities
of stock. This measure is of the very
first and last importance to landown
ers and formers, of by far the most
valuable and extensive portion of Geor
gia. The attentive or commonplace
observer has only to look around him,
and think awhile without prejudice,
and he will clearly see the value of
shell a law. It was clearly demonstra-'
ted by very responsible, intelligent
members in the discussion of this sub
ject, That to keep stock up with prop
er attention, was far more profitable
in every eense, than the present plan
of “turning them out to grass.” It
was forcibly shown that the cost of
fencing in the State far exceeded the
total value of all the stock of every de
scription in the State. That the'sear
city and unreliability pf labor, and in
many cases, insufficiency of timber,
would render it utterly impracticable
to continue general fencing, even a
few years longer. There were several
attempts to defeat, but not one -solid
reason or argument advanced against
this measure before the Convention.
The passage: A law taxing dogs 25
cents each, through a committee, will
be asked at the next Logisiuteure.
This measure is of no mean impor
tance, as the result of its adoption will
be two-fold, first to get rid of a use
less, pestilent race of curs and other
breeds, and thus afford security to
sheep raising, besides a considerable
revenue to the State, diminishing oth
er taxes.
A plan was inaugurated whereby, it
is hoped that the State, through the
Legislature, in making the necessary
arrangements, may secure the benefit
of the appropriation made by Congress
to establish an Agricultural College.
The Society proposes to receive this
trust iu its corporate capacity. It is
to be devoutly hoped that this meas
ure will receive the sanction of the
Legislature, and the support of the
State authorities. Iu the absence of
such an institution, the educational fa
cilities of our grand old State, though
already extensive and of a creditable
standard, are nevertheless fur below
the demands of this progressive age.

[From the Southern Christian Advocate.
A Bi leflllitigraplij.
Mr. Editor: As I perceive the epi
demic is abroad for sketching the lives
i and characters of church “celebrities” I
have got the trembles lest some im-
I pertinent fellow should try his hand
jon me. In order, then, to prevent so
dire a calamity, 11 must beg a little
| space iu' your paper for this short
“sketch,” as I think I^ought to know
more about myself than any of these
scribblers knows about me.
To begin at tie beginning. But
tins is a great difficulty, for though 1
am sure I was there, I have no recol
lection about my own birth. Howev
er, I am satisfied I was born some
time; and I think it must have been
in old Bonaparte’s time, for I recolleet
J seeing him or a picture of him sealed
up in a bottle when I was a boy. I’ve
heard them say that I was a mighty
cross bubv, and they had to give me
lots of paregoric to keep me quiet I
think it is very likely this is a true sto
ry, lor I’ve beer cross enough ever
since. Just in the way of a warning
to parents on that point, let me say
that I think it a bad practice to give
children medicine. They are very apt
to get to like it, and keep taking it af
ter they’ve grown up. At least it
seems like its been so with me, for
some of my friends tell me that I make
my insides an apothecary shop.
I was sent to school soon alter old
Bonaparte was isent to St. Helena;
but there was this difference between
us, his keeper was a man while min;,
was a woman. I don’t remember
much about those times, except one
green spot, and that was my going to
a tea-party, one afternoon at the house
of one of the school-girls. Well, that
was the beginning of my education,
and I have been at it ever since; and
I have to relate it as a fact, however
discouraging it my be to the young
folks, the longer I live and the more 1
study, the more I find I don’t know.
As the subject of the sketch is still
living, and hopes to live a while lon
ger, it might be indelicate to say much
about him, for you know that would
look like flattery; and the Biole says
some strong things about that class of
gentry called flatterers. But as I fear
my readers might; be disappointed if I
did not give them some idea of my
personal appearance, I’il try to do it
in as few words as possible. In phys
ical conformation I am very like some
other people, for I have but one head
and two feet, one nose and two eyes,
one I3 ou th and two ears (these last
tiioi long ones.) habits are pecul
iar; I eat when I am hungry, (if I can
get- anything fit to eat) and drink
when I am thirsty, and sleep wheZ I
am sleepy. I put on my shirt by
drawing it over my head, and my trou
sers by putting my feet through the
legs; and in spite of the fashion, and
notwithstanding the great improve
ments in tailoring, I stick to the old
trick of wearing suspenders.
And now to make an honest con
fession, which I do w ith the most per
fect sincerity, I have to acknowledge
that I have left tiudone much that I
should have done, and done much
that I ought not to have done. Per
haps in this last category may be plac
ed this egotistical notice of
Myself.
The District Court.
The auspicious day arrived, and at
high noon yesterdy Jim Simms “laid
down de fiddle and de bow” to assume
the gown and wig of a judge of the
“District Court,”^to which exalted po
sition he had been appointed by his
ex(pras.s)ilfcncy. Rufus B. Bullock.—
At the hour named, Jim took his seat
on the west end of a very large table
in the grand jury-room of the Superi
or Court, which had been placed at
bis disposal by the ordinary. On his
right sat, in solemn and satyr dignity
and beauty, King Solomon Thomas,
black as Erebus aud loud as fish guano.
Several other darkies gathered cau
tiously about the door to see how the
thing would be “did,” and opened
their eyes and ears as to catch the law
as promulgated by the immaculate
Simms, who sat and sat and sat (wait
ing for the appearance of the sheriff,
and the clerk, and the district attor
ney,) until he “purty nigh took root,”
no sheriff or clerk or district attorney
appearing, Jim looked into the code,
which (a bran new volume) lay before
him, then into the recent acts of the
Legislature, which he held before him.
Having become satisfied upon the le
gal points in the case, he directed a
yellow negro to open the court, who
proceeded to the grave task, saying,
“Oh yes, oh yes, dis honebol distrik
court am now open. God sabe dis
honerbol dist ik court.”
Court being thus formally opened,
Jim again looked at the code, and the
acts, at King Thomas, and at the dep
uty constable, and then commenced
writing, as we uftei wards learned
orders to the sheriff, clerk and other
officers, to appear, produce the jury
box on to-day, the Bth instant, or show
cause why they should not be attached
for contempt. The court then ad
journed, and Ji n took up his code and
his acts, and vacated the seat with a
dignity which would have graced a
Richelieu.
The above is not an overdrawn pic
ture of the opening of the District
Court.
Judge Schley has refused to grant
-an injunction, to which the bar has re
sorted as a legal restrainor upon Jim
Simms. The officers, however, having
taken legal advice, will act upon that
advice, and thus bring the matter to
an issue direct— Sav, Republican.
Profanity never did any man

mends no one to any society. It is
disgusting to the refined; abominable
to the good; insulting to those with

mind; unprofitable, needless, and in
jurious to society.

To the Editor:
In another column you advertise the Lano
dos Fertilizer, the price of which has been
S6O per ton. Although this is below the
price of any other reliable commercial ma
nure in the market, yet I have determined to
make the price still lower. The Langdon is
a home production, made from well known
articles produced here, (Bones and Cotton
Seed Meal mainly) and I can afford to man
ufacture and sell it cheaper than any foreign
manufacturer can put his product in this mar
ket.
Again, I have this year so developed and
perfected my works as to reduce the cost of
manufacture considerably; and lastly, so
generous has been the support of this new
Southern enterprise by our planters, in giv
ing the Langdon their preference, that I pro
pose to reciprocate by giving them all the
advantage I possess in the production of the
article.
The price hereafter will be only SSO per
ton for lots of five or more tons, $55 for less
amounts, and $3 per hundred pounds for
amounts less than a ton. At this low price
every good farmer will use fertilizers.
Please give this a few insertions for the
benefit of your planter readers.

WALTHAM
WATCHES.
The extensive use of these watches for the
last fifteen years by Railway Conductors,
Engineers and Expressmen, the most exact
ing of watch-wearers, has thoroughly de
monstrated the strength, steadiness, durabil
ity and accuracy of the Waltham watch.—
To satify that class in all these respects, is
to decide the question as to the real value of
these time-keepers.
More than 500,000 of these watches
are now speaking for themselves in the
pockets of the people—a proof and a guar
antee of their superiority over all others.
The superior organization and great ex
tent of the Company’s Work’s at Waltham,
enables them to produce watches at a price
which renders competition futile, and those
who buy any other watch merely pay 25 to
50 per cent, more for their watches than is
necessary.
These time-pieces combine every improve
ment that a long experience has proved of
real practical use. Having had the refusal
of nearly every invention in watch making
originating in this country or in Europe,
only those were finally adopted which
severe testing by the most skillful artisans
in our works, and long use on the part of
the public, demonstrated to be essential to
correct and enduring time keeping.
Among the many improvements we would
particularize :
The invention and use of a centre-pinion
of peculiar construction, to prevent damage
to the train by the breakage of mainsprings,
is original with the American Watch
Company, who, having h*d the refusal of all
other contrivances, adopted Fogg’s patent
pinion as being best and faultless.
Hardened and tempered hair-springs,now
universally admitted by Watchmakers to be
the best, are used in all grades of Waltham
Watches.
All Waltham Watches have dust-proof
caps, protecting the movement from dust,
and lessening the necessity of the frequent
cleaning necessary in other watches.
