After a short peri od of recreation —social re-unions and holiday festivities, where all was as merry as the marriage bell, we again congratulate you, one and all, upou year good fortune in a safe transit from the old to the new year, with such happy surro ridings upon its entrance, and so glorious a prospect aw iit ing you in its future. The first day of the new year EiyJtteen Hundred and Seventy-One, dawns upou us in radiant beauty, while daiue nature smiles and chants the praises of Him who sc.li ters and directs the invigorating sun beams as they imprint the kiss of re conciliation and good will upon the cheeks of God’s fallen but intelligent, creatures—sons of toil and sorrow— and to light up the thorny maze of life, imparting life and health and peace. We begin the new year under some- j what different auspices to that with which we dosed the old one, having associated with us, in the interest and : conduct of the Express, our friend and i fellow-townsman, Col. James Watt J Harris, a gentleman of eminent ability J both as a writer and speaker, and oj! antecedents as clear as the noon-day sun. His character and standing in this community is too well and favora bly known for us to add anything thereunto in the shape of eulogies.— He is a ripe and finished scholar, and, consequently wields an able pen—a Christian gentleman and Man of God in whom is blended the higher and nobler attributes of character essential; to his useful life in the origination and 1 promulgation of facts in morals and \ useful knowledge and general informa- i tiou, through the columns of the Ex press. With his sage counsel and en lightened wisdom to aid in its direc tion and conduct, the Express has, in the future, the prospect of a brilliant and useful career. S. H. SMITH We have the pleasure, therefore, of introducing to our readers, and the fraternity at large, our worthy asso_ date and co-laborer, Col. Jas. W. Har ris, in the following brief card : ■ The undersigned having associated j himself in the conduct and proprietor- j ship of the Express, with its well-known I and popular Editor, S. H. Smith, will, j for the future, devote himself, with what ability he may have, to its exten- ; siou and usefulness. With no kuowl- \ edge of journalism he flatters himself that he may nevertheless be able to cull somewhat from the passing events aud literature of the day, which may 1 not prove unprofitable or uninteresting J to its numerous readers. With sincere j distrust of his abilities to discharge] properly the duties which he now as sumes, he begs the indulgence of the ; patrons of the Express, aud the kindly notice and sympathy of the Editorial fraternity, assured of the fact that suc cess in this department of business is not a gift to be obtained by the mere taking, but is the slow growth of long and dilligent labor aud practice. On ly a co-laborer with friend Sam, the most'that he can promise is to lighten | something of his burthens, yielding to him always the chief place in the col umns of the Express, and the favor of j the public. In reference to the overwhelming complimentary plastering with which he lias been pleased to introduce me to bis readers and the press, and which lay modesty disclaim as altogether un merited, however kindly said, I reply j that it reminds me of an anecdote well known to the older members of the Bar of the former Western Judicial Circuit, in this State, lhere lived in 1 the town of Lawreusville, in Gwinnett county, some years r.go, a well known hotel keeper by the name of Jemmy | Wardlaw. Jemmy had provided large ly and industriously'for the Superior j Court then iu session, and everything was ample and abundant, save aud ex cept the single article of butter, which was very scarce and selling at a very high price. It so happened that a par ty of Kentucky horse-drovers stopped at his house during the term of the Court, and being gentleim nos robust appetites, applied themselves vigorous ly to the store of good things placed before them on tbe table, paying, un fortunately for Wardlaw, special atten tion to the butter. They cut it, tney hacked it, they hewed it, they gouged it, hunk after hunk disappeared be j tween their capacious jaws, as if the ! miserable tavern keeper had all the dairies of the Wae grass region at his command. Ward law because fidgety —uneasy. He coold not hold himself 1 still, or conceal his anxiety and dis may at this terrible Kentucky ou ! s’aught upon his butter dish; fttfd there he stood behind them .is they sat furiously wasting away his butter, eagerly, yet involuntarily, gesticulating j at every fresh gash of their knives, and fiercely stroking* his own throat at ev ery swallow of his rayeuous guests, when Bob Doughertv, a facetious mem bet of the bar, famed for bis fun, and an eye for the ridiculous, observing WurJhw's perplexity, stepped up, and slapping the disconcerted host upon the shoulder, meaningly and quizieaUy said. “1 low do you like it, Jemmy ?” “Dud-burn it, Squire,” said he, “I don’t care a suap for the butter, but the Lord have mercy upon me, just see how they spread it on !” JAMES W. HARRIS. The style of the firm, in the future, will be known and distinguished as S. 11. Smith A Cos. All subscriptions for the paper, not paid in advance, will from and after the Ist January, 1871, be due and paid to the new firm, and advertisements inserted from and af ter that date, as also all job work, will be due to the new firm. All job work, advertisements and subscriptions prior to that date is due to and be collected by S. H. Smith, and contracts for ad- j vertising made by him prior to Janu ary Ist, 1871, will be carried out by ! the new firm but payable to S. H. j Smith. In order, therefore, that our future : dealings and intercourse may be har- J omnibus, we call upon our old patrons, j who may be in arrears for job work, subscription and advertising, to come forward and pay up at ouce. With the assistance of Col. J. W, Harris, Associate Editor, and other able and spirited writers who have promised us regular and occasional contributions, we can promise the readers of the Express a paper, in ev iry respect, worthy of their patronage and support. The Semi-Weekly Cauteusville Ex- j press, is one of the very cheapest papers published in the State. It be ing as large as a majority of weeklies, and two papers a week, at ONLY i TWO DOLLARS A YEAR, strictly in ! ADVANCE, certainly places it in the ; grasp of every family and individual newspaper reader in Bartow and all I the surrounding counties. We do not | hope to make any clear money on our j subscription, but the circulation is what we are after and intend to have. As soon as we get such a circulation j as will authorize it, other and superior arrangements will be made to increase its dimensions and capacities for use fulness. Let one fact be remembered, and that is, our two issues weesl/ en ables us to give as much reading mat ter as any country weekly paper in the State, and at as low, if not lower, sub scription price. The Express, will continue in the fu ture, as in the past, politically, Demo cratic to the core, while its columns, in the main, will be devoted to the Ntws, Agriculture, Literature, Science, Art, Home and Foreign Intelligence, and more particularly to the development of the resources of our beloved Chero kee Georgia, the building up of our growing and prosperous town, and the advancement of the material inter ests of our county and section. Hoping that we may have a pros perous year, and that peace aid good j will may abound all over the laud, we close these introductory remarks by wishing you, one and all, a happy new year! * S. H. SMITH. JAS. W. HARRIS. flgl* A certain Judge, while attend ing court in a shire town, was passing along the road, when a boy was just etting down the bars to drive some cattle in. His father stood in the door of his house on the opposite side of the road, and seeing what his hopeful was doing, shouted out, ‘John, don’t you drive them cattle in there: I told you to put them in the pasture behind the house.’ The boy took no notice what ever of the remonstrance, and his fa ther repeated the order in a lou ler tone without the least effect, and th e third time gave postive orders not to drive the cattle in there. The sou did not look up, and disobeyed the paren i tal order in a way that positively shock ed the Judge, who looked at the eitl ; prit, said in a tone of official authority, ! ’Boy, don’t you hear your father speak | ing to you ? ‘Oh y-a-s-s!’ replied the ! boy, ‘but I don’t mind what he Says. Mother don’t neither and ’tween she and I we’ve about got the dog so he don’t.’ Gen.

I BEAUTY AND BOOTY IN PETTICOATS—THRU,- UNO EXPERIENCE OF A GUERNSEY COUN TY FARMER—HOW A LADY LOST HER GAME j Bt A TKDFUSE DISPLAY OF LEATHER. The following incident, which oeeur i ltd la.->t week iu Guernsey county, has la flavor of tic* times when Dick Tn’ pin and kindred spirits w >rked their own sweet wills upon the people of “Merrv 1 England.” j A gentleman going to Cambridge in j a two-horse carriage, for the purpose of paying taxes, was accosted by a well I dressed lady, who asked the privilege jof riding with him to the village. He I hail a pair of excitable horses, and lies 1 itated about risking a lady’s life be rkind them. But she declared she was jnot a bit afraid, aud the gentleman at last consented to let her share his seat. She was a sprightly companion, and the geutlemau was beginning to-con gratulate himself upon having her so ciety, when, in changing her position the lady displayed —not the and linty an kle and accompanying stocking that ho expected to see, but a pair of unmista kable men’s boots! Here was a surprise-indued. Install t -1} T visions of all the burglaries aud high ; way adventures that have recently made Guernsey county as pleasant an abode as a mining district of Califor nia, flashed across his miud. The roy ial Dane was not more app died at the appearance of his fatherly ghost, than I was our farmer friend at these iuno ■ cent pair of boots. No more he thought jabout “Her feet beneath her petticoats Like little mice stole in and out,” ; but only of the awful things which | might happen from a pair of boots ap pearing in such a place. True, it might have been Olive Logan, or some other strong-minded one, practicing behind the scenes at wearing the breeches, aud beginning, as it were, at the be ginning. But our rural friend couldn’t or didn’t see it iu that flight- “Rob , oer” was the only exf>Tt»T»ftk>n that ap- I peared possible to him and acted upon that idea. v Politely ignoring the liberal (fr "*l of calf, (it was tanned in the regif.v’lJ, way and therefore mentionable jhe drove along as if nothing had b' a P" • pened, less profuse in his compliments* but thinking very rapidly. Sudden ly he dropped his whip by the roadside, and as he could not leave his horses in charge of the young lady, he was reluc tantly compelled to request her to get out and return it. Exercising the usu al carefulness of her sex in protecting her feet from the gaze of vulgar men, she descended, picked up the whip aud j handed it to her companion. This was the supreme moment of his life! Instantly striking the horses one tre' mendous blow, he sped away with the speed of wind, aud left the fair damsel staring after him in vacant wonder. After driving a mile or two, he toned down his chargers and made an inspec tion of the lady’s muff, when he discov ered a beautiful revolver, with six holes in one end and the other filled with lit tle brown metallic cases, all ready for immediate action. In the satchel of the fair stranger was a nice set of bur glar’s tools, with vn hich slie doubtless practiced in her moments of relaxation- The gentleman, of course, imagines that bo fell in with a dangerous man— a burgler and highwayman, in short— but as it is the sex’s privili ge to carry revolvers, and use them, if need be, of course lie.is mistaken. He merely saw the velvet drawn back from the tiger’s claw --a sight which many a poor fel low is often regaled with, without be ing surrounded by such piquant cir cumstances. Os course the tale will be told in a differ way, and the country gentleman will seek to be the hero of the hour; but our readers not to be- 1 lieve a word of it. He merely ran a way from a “Pu s in Boots.” — Barnes vUle ( Ohio) Enter prist. Immortality. Turn whithersoever we will, we find the belief in immortality. In every na tion ever known, in every race that has ever lived, in every aga of this cuang ing world, we find it. Every language known to man, as dow or Heretofore spoken among the babblers o f this earth, is constructed in accordance with it. In all ages, men iu dying have looked, on death as simply the soul’s putting off its tabernacle. Thera are exceptions, but they are so few that they hardly attract onr attention,-and do not destroy the practical accuracy of onr statement. The belief iu im mortality is one oi the universal com victions of the race. The Albany News of the 30th ult. claims the election of Hon.

In compliance with public no ' tice given by the Governor iu October, , bids were receved for the lease of the Western aud Atlantic Railroad until the 25th instant On opening the bids the road was let to a company of the | following gentlemen, to wit: John P. . King, Joseph E. Brown. Alexander H. • Stephen*, John T. Grant, Benjamin H. Hill, E. W. Cole, Richard Peters, Wil liam G. Johnson, William S. Holt, A. jJ. White, C. A. Nutting, Benjamin M y, E.

Plant , Thomas Allen, and their asso ciates, making iu all twenty-three. Other bids were made, but parties fail ed to comply with the law requiring the rendering of sufficient security. The successful company is one of the strongest ever formed in the South, The shareholders represent, in their own right, over fifteen millions of dol lars. They give by securities the fol lowing railroad companies: The Geor gia, the Central, the Southwestern, the Macon and Western, Atlantic and West Point, the Macon aud Brunswick, and Albany, in Georgia: the Nashville ! and Chattanooga, of Tennessee, and the St. Louis and Iron Mountain, of Missouri. The companies signiug as securities are worth twenty millions. The high cnaracter of the lessees and j their undoubted solvency, and the large capital of the company, are ample guarantees that the road will be well managed and the terms of the lease faithfully complied with. The rental agreed to be paid to the State is $25, 000 pei’ month for twenty years, and the road is to be returned in as good a condition in every respect as it now is at the end of the lease. Ex-Gov. Joseph E. Brown resigned his office as the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court before putting in the i bid, and has been unanimously elected President of the new company to whom the road is leased.

She was going to Jesus through the stormy wa'tes of the angry sea, yet she was not afraid. That is the kind of; faith you need, my reader.

Although the t tfi-e has no sal ary attached to it, and the service rendered ; will be entirefy gratuitous, still, it is an im portant one to the people of the town and county.

It therefore behooves the peo ple in each 1 istriet and incorporated town to see to it th t their most intelligent, ener getic and self-sacrificing citizens are nomi nated for Commissioners, and prevailed up on to serve. W hile upon this subject, I recollect that the law provides that three Trustees shall be elected from each District and incorporated Town, to perform certain duties in conncc. tion with the Common Schools; and presum- j ing that there will be no nominating couven- 1 tion to put out candidates, your correspond ent takes the liberty of nominating the fol lowing uamed gentlemen, as candidates for Trustees for the town of Cartorsville, vii.

These nominations are made in order to get the i matter iu ship shape, and to secure an or ganization. If anyone has a better ticket than this, let him bring it forward. If not, et. us all support this one. Let each Dis- i trict in the county bring out candidates for Commissioners and Trustees with side refer ence to their cfjicirnqf, and studiously avoid anything like party polities in this matter. , In this way, and this way only, can we ex pect any good results from this comman school law.
