Ue2kmrkr that yon g*t j two copie# of the paper every week. 81Tbe Athens papers bring us the 1 sad intelligence of the death of the j venerable Wilson Lumpkin, ex Gov-1 ernor of this State, and former Senator j in the Uuited States Congress. Ft w | men have occupied so large a share in . the public councils of the country, 1 both State and National; and now that ho is removed from all tbe par- j Utilities or prejudices which political j friendships or animosities may have engendered, it is but common justice j to declare that none have better de j served, or more honorably worn the robes of office. Without tbe advanta ges of early education or mental train ing, he rose by the very force of a superior intellect and the most charm-; ing and winning conversational talent,i and incorruptible honesty to the high est favors within the gift of the people of Georgia. A native of Virginia, his history was illustrative of tnat grand old Mother of Statesman and patriots, and added lustre to the home of his adoption. The oldest brother of a family of very remarkable men, it would perhaps not be regarded by those who knew him well, as a mere compliment to say that he was by na tive gifts, though not so cultivated, su perior to them all—although among them was to be found the late honored and lamented Chief Justice of the State. Crowned with honors, admired by his friends and respected by Heaven spared his useful life for more than four score years. Misfortune and disease gathered around him in his later life, but faithful to the reli gion which he had so long professed, suffering only brought out in bolder relief his unswerving trust in the Cross of the Redeemer. Amidst afflictions painful and severe, he rejoiced in his Saviour, and to the last proclaimed his confidence of a home in Heaven. ‘“After life’s fitful fever, he sleeps well.” We learn that Hon. Amos T. Aker man, Attorney-General of the United States, has purchased the residence of the late Win. Pritchett, Esq., and will soon become a citizen of Cartersville. His family are expected to be here in a few days, when the honorable gen tleman will proceed on to Washington. No town in Georgia is more rapfdly increasing in population, or presents more points of attractive interest than this, and we think that the Attorney- General has acted wisely in making it his future home Having a most healthful and invigorating climate, beautiful landscapes of mountain and valley, and flowing streams, surround ed by rich and productive lands, situ ated immediately on the great high way and artery of railroad transporta tion, directly in reach of one the rich est mineral regions on the Continent, and beiug the selected point at which several important rail roads, will short ly converge, Cartersville holds out the strongest inducements to men of cap ital and enter prize. Come along, gen tlemen, we will be glad to see you, and will welcome yon right heartily. Messrs. Attaway and Jobnston will open their school for tbe accom modation of male and female pupils, on the lGth inst., in the building re cently occupied by Johnston 4* Hillyer, until the new building is which will be in a very short time. — The School, we are advised, will, be systematically divided mto regular grades, so that each student may be assigned his or her proper position. No student will be permitted to rise from a lower to a higher grade with out an approved examination in all the branches through which he has passed, so that a thorough course of instruction may be carried out. The sexes will have separate apartments assigned them, and permitted to come together only at recitation. The fe males can enjoy the same course of in struction as the males. Having contributed their individual means for the erection of a School building, the community may feel well assured that no effort will be wanting on their part, to elevate the standard of education, and make the school wor thy the confidence and patronage of all who may be kind enough to en courage them in their laudable efforis to advance the cause of education. We hope their enterprise may prove a success. R. W. Hall, of Washington county, > iii- year 85 gallons of syrup from a quarter of an acre in cane. The reporter of tile New Ydik I Herald relates an interview which he had with the Secretary of Gambetta. ! the FxencH minister of war, as follows, I was informed that applications on the part of English correspond, u’- were frequent for an interview. * but without avail; that M Gambetta whs overrun, and that 6nly those who wept ; concerned in immediate result* eoukl even be admitted for an instant, l‘he! waiting-rooms,ante-rooms, and private offices were tilled at tins early hour in the morning, and 1 concluded that the best expression in full, of M. Garni vet ! U’a sentiments and opinions could best j be obtttiued from M. Npuller, his chief private secretary, and with him 1 made an appointment, which was kept this morning. THE ARMY OF FRANCE TO-DAY. CVrrespqndent—How many melt, iurrufd and equiped, has France now in the field, or will she have by tbe first of January ? Secretary—l cannot answer as to figures. But by January Ist, France will have a greater army than was ev er know under tbe second Empire.— Fortyssevea days only has M. Gambet ta been in the provinces. Siuce the beginning of this administration here he has raised the army of the Loire, he has prepared France for a fresh cam paign; he has called troops in the field; he has infused vigor, harmony and a serious purpose among the people, and you see the result to-day. I eaunot tell you the numbers. Fi ance is capa ble of raising 2,000,000 of men, young men, all, too, moblized, who can be moved in the field, and who, under the republic will fight for the perpetuity of the Democracy in France, when, un der an empire, they would not be ac tuated by a kindred spirit. Correspondent—What sir, is the character of this army already formed? Secretary—As I have said, France has now a better army in the field than she had at the outbreak of the war. FORMING ARMIES IN ALL THE DEPARTMENTS OF THE REPUBLIC, and the soldiers already in the field are better equipped, better supplied with weapons and munition than was tbe regular army which surrendered at Sedan or capitulated at Metz. THE CAMPS OF INSTRUCTION. Correspondent —And you are giving out contracts every day? Secretary—Yes, sir; we are buying guns, artillery and all supplies calcula ted to strengthen in a military view, and this work will go on. M. Gam betta, by decree, has already ostablisb ed fifteen camps of instruction, when civilians can rendezvous, be drilled, ex ercised and be impregnated with the genius and discipline of the soldier. — To these points, inland and on the sea board, those liable to military duty will be called, and then you will find we will make tnose soldiers who are to confront the Prussian hosts. These camps of instructions are to be com plete in detail; they are to have for auxiliaries all the latest inventions of modern science as applied to war, and from them will be graduated soldiers not only expert in mere warfare, but men who cherish and love Republican institutions. Correspondent —You are making COLOSSAL PREPARATIONS. Secretary—Yes, Monsieur, we are.— We are daily organizing, compacting, solidifying, and in different parts of France troops are hurrying to the na tional defense. They are destined to operate on or about Paris, to relieve that heroic city, to drive away the Prussian soldiers and redeem the Re puplic. THE DEFENSE OF PARIS. Correspondent —Paris has certainly made a grand defense. Secretary—Yes, sir, she has. Sev enty-four day* h ve not reduced her, and the world, which was so fond to tell of her speedy capitulation, has al ready outlived its prophecy with shame. EVEN PARIS MAY FALL, BUT THE REPUBLIC WILL STILL FIGHT. Correspondet—But suppose Paris should fall? Secretary—We would still fight.— Forty-seven days only, and look at the i result! Regard it. What will more time do? Every army that we put in the field is a better one than that which proceeded—better equipped in all re spects. Should Paris fall, our cause is still intact. Correspondent—And judging by your present successes about Paris, an 'aggressive movement on your part seems inevitable —what then ? Secretary —We must avenge the atrocious cruelties of the enemy, who have been guilty of much that is re volting and barbarous. W e must have compensation across the Rhine. Correspondent—France will never give up ? Secretary—Never, Monsieur, never. Correspondent—l am anxious to know the views of the Government on > the Republic. Will it be a federative form of government, like the United T States, embracing many dissimilar or | gunizatiouci in one ? Secretary—*dr; it will be a re j pulxlia, one and indivisible -toujOurs until A# inJUfU'JI AND t TATE. (V*ti.sj> >ud< u!

Secretary - Exactly. And you must write this as the great point of this in ter v it w. THE .REPUBLIC SAVES FRANCE, j the empire humiliates it. The mon archists and imperialists were for an armistice —for disgraceful submission. The republicans, whether rouge or moderate, have always been and will always be for war until the invader leaves our soil. Consider that, for it is tbe genius of the situation —it is the ultimatum, the prestige of our country. Tho despotism, after being beaten at Sedan, would give it to the idle wind. The empire gave us its military achieve, ments and thou culminated at Metz. — Ours began at Orleans, and under Du crat at Paris, and we believe that they have but just begun. This govern ment of the national defense will nev er relax its tenure until France is de livered and avenged. jQrThe following gentlemen have been suggested on the Board of Edu cation for Bartow county, at the elec tion next Saturday. These gentlemen live in the country : John L. Wikle, Rev. A. M. Samford, J. W. Lewis. PetersonS Magazine. This excellent Magazine for January 1871, is already out, as is a marvel of beauty and merit. We do not know when we have seen lovlier engravings than the two steel plates, “Gracie’s Pet,” and “Coasting;” the latter makes us blow our fingers, it is so cold. Tbe fashion plates of “Peterson” ares always the best, and the one in die January number is a perfect gem of lovliness.— The stories are all unusually good, even for “Peterson.” By all means subscribe for this magazine for 1871. It is both the cheapest and best. The terms are two dollars a year, with great reductions to clubs, viz: 5 copies for SB.OO, or 8 copies for $12.00, with both an extra copy and a superb pre mium engraving to the person getting up the club. Specimens are sent gra tis to those wishing to get up clubs. — Address Chas. J. Peterson, 306 Chest nut St. Philadelphia.

Nursery,” is the title of a neat little Monthly for Children and Youths, fine ly and appropriately illustrated, and would sell from bookstores readily at 25 cents a copy. We will club it with the Semi-Week ly Express—the paper and magazine, both, for one year —at Three Dollars. A copy of the magazine can be seen at Best & Kirk patrick’s Drug Store, where your money and address can be left. Young Pilot,” for January, is also received.

Leak authorizes us to say that he declines suffering his name run for Couneilman of Cartersville, next Satusday. fry-The enterprizing citizens in the neigh borhood of Euharlee are going to build a neat Academy, at the fork of the road be tween Levi D. Jolly’s and John W. Crad dock’s, in the settlement of E, Harlings, Dr. Vanmeter’s, and others, which is to be for school and preaching purposes. Our min isters generally will make a note of this fact. The building is to be let out at Euharlee, next Saturday. Skating Carnival. There will be a Fancy j~ress Skating Party at the Rink, in Cartersville, on next Tuesday evening, and we have no doubt but that it will be largely attended. Per fect order will be maintained. We ad vise all who wish to while away a few hours pleasantly and innocently to at tend, without fail. Mournful News.—Our community was shocked yesterday by the intelligence that Mr. Gabe Wright and his whole family, together with his mother-in law, Mrs. Law rence, were drowned while crossing the Mis sissippi. We can learn none of the particu lars, save that the steamer was wrecked, and our neighbors, together with many Gabam iariß and Georgians, were lost. In fact we believe that every soul on the steamer was lost. We have every reason to believe that the news is as authentic as it is sad and startling. —Rome Commercial. m* The Cartersville Express has obtain ed, for the coming year, the services of Co lonel J. Watt Harris, as associate editor.— This gentleman is well and favorbly known in North Georgia, and wo give him a hearty welcome to the editorial fraturnity.- Atlan ta Constitution. ienry G. Cole is running for Mayor of Marietta. Aa The This so it Lixa. —A* death finds a man so it leaves him. If it fiada him with a forgiven soul and sanctified desires, he ia at once prepared to enter the world of ransomed end redeemed spirits, who previously h*d entered upon lhat mya ter.ous atuta of expansion and progression, which, we are led to believe, awaits all the redeemed of the Lord. There the newly released soul finds itself surrounded by eon genial intelligences, composed of the mar- j tyrs and prophets, the patriarchs and apos tles, an 1 the Christian relations, friends aud j acquaintances of ita owu day. As in lima, j kindred spirits, long sep irated, experience j a sympathetic glow when meeting in strange lands, so those long sundered by death wili greet each oiiicr on the celestial shores, with an ecstacy and rapture beyond the concep tion of finite mortals. As the sainted spirit walks the golden streets or roams by crystal streams, and imperishable grotoes, ever and anon meeting up With the loved and lost of earth, how exhuberant will be the joy that arises responsively as the celestial harpers strike to higher strains the glad refrain of that" new gong, which each of the Lord s children will be privileged to sing, l’lie work of (Jrace, having been begun below, goes on to infinite perfection. So, according to the same species of anal ogy, those who die covered over with slime and filth of sip. unrepentant and unforgiven, will be driren to affiliations with similar spirits. Having trampled upon the blood of the Covenant, despised God’s church and people on earth, hfiw can it be possible there will be any more congeniality after death ? The heaven of the pure and good would be a hell to the depraved aud sensual, if by posibility they could eater there. But l God will see to it that his followers once saved shall be forever free from the influence of the ungodly, and such must go away into everlasting punishment, where the tendency will ever be to become more vile and devlish. Nothing in the parable of the rich man, who lifted up his eyes in hell, leaves any hope that he ever got out, and the inference is plain that his state was final and fixed. Looking at divine revelation in this light, how forcible the language of the Psalmist, ‘I had rather be a door-keeper in the house of my God than to dwell in the tents of wicked ness.’ — Colvmbus Enquirer. A Time for Economy The great aggregate looss incurred by the people es the South with the fall in the price of their cotton, should admonish us of the necessity of economy in expenses and in man agement for the year about t 9 °P en , All may not suffer alike, and some may not in dividually feel the need of retrenchment in the purchase and consumption of the pro ducts of other sections. But the fact is ap parent that the low price of cotton has great ly reduced the safe purchasing capacity of the South as a tection, and created a necessi ty for a nearer approach to the raising at home of what we have to consume. The cot ton crop of 18G9 was sold at about SIOO per bale of 500 lbs., and this, with a crop of 3,- 350,000 bales, brought about $330,000,000. But the crop of 1870 is selling at not more than S7O per bale: aud estimating the crop as high as 3,750 000 bales, it will bring at this price only $202.000,000 —a loss of $68,- 000 000 to the South as a section. If the value of our other exports has not so greatly increased as to compensate for this loss (and no one will pretend that it has), it follows that the purchasing ability of the South is less by $68,000,000 than it was last winter. calculation brings to mind the old, old story that the newspapers are repeating from year to year— the w sdom of raising more of the articles which we must have for consumption, and less cotton. It is as we have said, an old story; but every year’s ob servation and experience helps to prove it a true one. This year, for instance, we real ize the fact that 3,350.0* 0 bales of cotton, raised in 1869, bring s6B.ooo‘oio more than 3,750,600 bales raised in 1870, and that the South cannot afford to purchase from other sections and countries, by $68,000,000, as she could last winter- But we demand the same amount of food, and there is the every reason to believe tliat no more (if as much) of it was raised than in 1869. This being the true state of the case, it follows as an evident and unavoidable conclusion that the best and quickest way of making partial amends for the mistaken policy of 1870 is to plant in 1871 large provision crops, and es pecially such as willmatuae in time to obvi ate the necessity of purchasing heavily from the North and the West. A repetition of a policy that compels us to buy more than we have money to pay for, must needs be embar rassing aud in the end ruinous.— Middle Georgian. SKATIYO ASSOCIATION.

The reputation this ex ccllent medicine enjoys, is derived from ike cures, H many of which are truly Ar marvellous. I iveterute cases of Scrofulous u.s --/¥ mj. ease, where the system seemed saturated' with corruption, have been purified ami cured In u. Scrofulous affection, and 4 disorders .which were n«- gravated by the scrofu lons contamination until they were painfhlly afflicting, have been radically cured in such great numbers hi almost every sec tion of the country, that the public scarcely need to be informed of its virtues or uses. Scrofulous poison is one of the most destruc tive enemies of our race. Often, this tinsceu and unfelt tenant of the organism undermines the con stitution, and invites the attack of enfeebling or fa tal diseases, without exciting a suspicion of <ts presence. Again. It seems to breed infection throughout the body, and then, on some favorable occasion, rapidly develop into one or other of its hideous forms, either on the surface or among the vitals. In the latter, tubercles may be suddenly deposited in the lungs or heart, or tumors formed In the liver, or it shows its presence by eruptions on the skin, or (bill ulcerations on «ome part of the body. Hence the occasional use of a bottle of this Sarsaparilla is advisable, even when no active symptoms of disease appear. Persons af flicted with the following complaints generally And immediate relief, and, at length, cure, by the use of this SARSAPARILLA: St. Antho ny’s Wire, Rote or IVrysipelas, Tetter, Salt Rheum, Scald. Mead, Ringworm, Sore Eye*, Bore Ear*, and other eruptions or visible (onus Os Scrofulous disease. Also in the more con cealed forms, as Dyspepsia, Dropsy, Heart Disease, Wits, Epilepsy, Neuralgia, . id the various Ulcerous affections of the musculur and nervous systems. Syphilis or Venereal and Mercurial Dls eases are cured by it, though a long time is re quired for subduing these obstinate maladies by any medicine. But long-continued use of tlu» medicine will cure the complaint, Loucorrtura or Whites, Uterine Ulcerations . and Female Diseases, are commonly soon relieved and ulti mately cured by its purifying and invigorating effect. Minute directions for each ruse are found in our Almanac, supplied gratis. Rheumatism and Oout, when caused by accumulations of ex traneous matters in the blood, yield quickly to it, as »\soLiver Complaints, Torpidity, Conges tion ox Inflammation of the Liver, and dann dice, when arising, as they often do, from tho rankling poisons in the blood. This SARSA PARILLA is a. great restorer for tho strength aud rigor of the system. Those who are L«n griild and TAstles.s, Despondent^Sleepless, and troubled with Nervous Appremnsious or •■ears, or any of the affections syrr ptomstic of Weakness. will find immediate relief and con .•ineing evidence of its restorative power upon rial.
