(offimanicsted. Ma. ikHTon-i-rln juy last, I assisted, ia ia) feeble way, to herald the praises oar model City, by showing up the quiet, good order, and peacefulness of the citizens. I will now give you the reasons how they acquired such a rep utation for honesty. It is all owing to that distinguishing feature, in the business of the jilace, viz.—the Cash System. The credit system, with its heart . burnings, disappointments, and fail ures, closed with the war. Our mer chants became tired of acting as al monders for the North; ami besides they could not do it any longer, being compelled to purchase their goods for cash. Knowing that the people were poor, and had very little hope of ever being any better, our merchants de termined not to let them injure them selves any more, and wisely and firmly, refused to credit. The goods upon their shelves belonged to them, they bad been bought and paid for, and whoever wanted them must pay too. — That was right. The people soon be gan to see that it worked well for all parties. The merchant not having '.books to keep, and accounts to loose, could afford to sell cheap. The pur chaser being obliged to pay cash, sup plied his actual, not 'his imaginary wants. The merchants found out fr om sad experience, that the man who promised to pay at wheat harvest, had use for every dollar of the money; and after he had made and sold his cotton, all the money was needed, outside of paying for things, that had already l>een consumed, or worn out The credit system is an injury to all hon est tradesmen, and honest buyers. It is an injury to the morals of auy com munity; it is the very nursery of dis honesty aud rascality; it only benefits sharpers, and those who live by their wits; men who swindle you out of your goods by promises, they never intend to fulfil; aud who are not high-w.iy robbers and because they have not the courage. If all col lecting laws were abolished, and the using of another’s goods, without just com pcuaatbmv-iiiJ^c»!«*oVaga bonds would either bo driven to make a living by honest industry, or they would be retired from society, aud mado to learn a trade at the expense of the State. Ihe loses by the war, hopelessly in volved many an honest man, and plac ed him in a situation where ho could uot pay his debts. That was not his fault. But after the war was over if he w r ent into debt to enable himself to live like he did, when he was a man of means, lie shows that he is either a weak man, incapable of self-denial, or that he is dishonest and vicious. All hou.,r, therefore, to the merchants of your model city, for doing business en tirely on the cash system. I know, by experience, that they sold for nothiug but cash, snort after the war, and I see by their advertisements, that they have rigidly adhered to the system ever since, and do not give the people even the chance of becoming lax in • their principles. Your city, on account, of this fair . a:nl prudent way of doing business, have no selfish, all-sorbing merchant rices to boast of; but then, on the oth er hand, you have no Bankrupts, aud I failures to be ashamed of. There is one peculiarity about Cai’- ; tersville I must notice. You- city has j no magnificent and tittrac:ive temples | of learning. The citizens are utilita-! rians in their notions, as to education. I A roof to keep out the rain, a few plank J to shut out the wind, some rough j benches for seats, are all that is actu ally required. Other cities erect hand- j some and ornate structures, to please ■ the eye, and attract strangers from afar, j 'uhe soil of Cartersviile is so produc- j tive, and the air so salubrious, and the j crop of children so abundant, that no j extraneous efforts is required to fill our schools. If more were to come, j the peace and quiet of the citizens; would be disturbed, by being called I upon to build more sheds All who had the good fortune to at tend the exhibitions of our three colle ge's, were convinced that tine buildings were not necessary to the education of your youths. The pupils being born and brought up in Cartersville, were nearly educated before they entered school; ana the Professors, to be ena bled to teach them anything, had to be gentlemen of extraordinary talent and condition. I was much pleased with all the exhibitions, but particularly de lighted, wheu I attended the last one. It is true that the Hall was too small to seat one third of the crowd, but then there was plenty of room out of doors, and by climbing the fence, on the opposite side of the street, I could catch an occasional glimpse of th*e youthful orators on the stage, and greatly admired their ease of manner, and graceful gestures. The Cen<ae upon which I was sitting being sharp, my feelings were various. When I would Lear 1 the loud burst of applause, at some sudden flight of el oquence, or more generally o f the speaker; or the gay laugh at some of tUt> bright dashes of wit, I would wish I was inside. But when the crowd iu that closely pjckt and room would be come excited, and gushes of heated air would be wafted across the street,> redolent with the perfume oi einna- ; mon drops, and such like; I would feel I glad that I was outside. But after all; rny situation was a commanding one. I could see inside the brilliantly light- j ed hall, with its stage highly decorat- ; ad with elegant festoons of evergreen. | I could see, upon the close packed ! tenches, whole rows of the backs of j ladies’ heads, and it astonished ice, from my standpoint, to notice how much alike they looked, only some j were oig and others were bigger. Outside, I was in no one’s way, and ; felt independent. Seated under the! broad, arch of the skies, I could enjoy the fresh and bracing air of night and vat eh the magnificent constellations r„K they slowly ciimbed fron the Nadir •■j the Zenith, and look with reveren- *nl joy npon tho numberless stars, • holding their festival around the mid ight throne; the whole, grandly mov ,ig from East to West, keeping step o ,the of the spheres, and "v-ver gauging as they shine, Jus ban# that made us is Divine.” Tfea cjty clock tclled th' hour of midnight, and still heated eloquence poured through the door in an unbrok en stream. The crowd swayed to and i fr° 011 their tired pedetstoJs\ (1 am afraid, Mr. Editor, to say legs, less some squeamish individual might pronounce me vulgar.) The young men were stamping with impatience at the long delayed walk homo with their sweet heurts. The married men, with their usual docility and gentleness, wsired without a murmur, for the appearance of their share of the long cloth and fan cy dry-goods, which composed the as sembly. The mules hitched up to the numerous racks, not appreciating the sacrifice they wore called upon to make in the cause of education, bray ed forth their remonstrances in long and plaintive notes. Suddenly m y drooping ears caught the magic words, ‘’Stars and Bars,” and at intervals I could hear “Fort Sumpter,” ‘Bull Bun,’ ‘Manassas,’ ‘Fr-idericksbii g.’ ‘Shiloh,’ ‘Chickamauga ’ and then I could hear something about our ‘Blooding Coun try,’ Apppomattox, and a ‘Folded Flag.’ I knew the young orator was paying a tribute to our down-trodden South, and my stomach yearned in sympathy with him. The applause that follow ed shook the building to the centre. — The crowd rushed to the door to catch some of the enthusiam, and the old bell, fastened to the shingles, feeling the impulse, rang out upon the a’’r a few sweet-toned chimes. The band struck up Dixie. Oh ! then I was glad I had come. “Blessed be the man who composed Dixie, and cursed be the Southerner, if he lias any music in his soul, and can he moved with concord of sweet sounds, who can listen to those soul stirring notes without having his patriotism strengthened and revived.” If my laziness, selfishness or beast liness, my love of position, office or power, ever induce me to sacrifice my principles, and act traitor to my sec tion, and ally myself with that party with whom plunder is a principle, and the five loaves and two fishes, the cor ner stone of their religion, and who show by their doctrine that a common negro is their equal and an honest one their superior; if, when I get to _ttw burn Scalawags could sink me; should I hear the glorious notes of Dixie, per formed by the best drilled band, or whistled by an urchin whose mouth was 100 big to packer, the memoiy of the past would come over mo with such power that, with my hand upon my mouth, and my month in the dust, I would cry Peceavi, and kicking over the flesh-pots of Egypt, and throw ing away the mess of pottage I sold my birthright for, I would come with an empty stomach, but a redeemed soul, and would beg to be taken back once more into the society of true Southerners, even if I had to clothe myself in sackcloth, and take a back seat in the Temple of Patriotism. 1 Excuse me, Mr. Editor, fir this di gression, but I am writing this, being confined at home, by the 4th of July. My hands have all deserted me. My wife has to cook; I have to cut wood, aud draw water, and take care of the stock, ami my patriotism is much in flamed. 1 wanted to write a great deal more about the exhibitions, but I see five bigs in my field, rooting down my wheat shocks, and my dog has gone off with the negroes. The exhibitions, in my opinion, were a success. The only thing that oecur ed to mar the pleasure of the entertain ment, was to hear the brightest and most talented of the students, express a determination to leave us. He told his Teachers, his classmates, and the assembled audience, “good-bye,” in the most feeling and affectionate manner. I know ha is a good young man, or he would not .have been so polite. lam sorry he is going, but I wish him well, wherever he goes. Now, Mr. Editor, you see I write as you preach. We both know what eut>- ject we start on, but have uot the slightest idea where we will be at tli9 close. But genius, y m know, is not confi ed or fettered by rules of Logic or Rhetoric. Ass. Yrs. NEMO. (To be Continued.) Communicated. CIIERC KEF., CoiSTY, G A., 1 July Ist, 1870. j Editor Cartersville Express —Suffer me through the columns of your paper, to call the attention of the outside world, to the vast amount of minerals imbedded iu the hills of this section of our State. Much has been said on the resources of the State.— Commissioners have been appointed and sent to tolve it; Immigration Ex cursion Parties have gone out for the purpose of investigating the mineral wealth of the State, and to select new routes for Railroads, &c., but up to the present time, little or do attention has been given to North Georgia, the place above ail others in the State, abounding in rsioerals. These miner als, if properly developed, would do more to enhance the interest of the State, than all the Commissioners ever s ut. It would soon bring labor and capital into our midst. This section of the State has more natural advan tages than any country in my knowl edge. From the earliest history of the State, gold has been found in Lumpkin, Gilmer, Cuerokee, and other Counties, and in this part of the State, in quantity and quality that amply re paid Jhe industrious miner. Silver and black lead, are found in many pla ces. On Long Swamp and Sharp Mountain Creeks, in Pickens County, and for ibugS North of tnat {joint, Marble of the finest quality, is fouud in large quantities. Extensive beds of the finest Iron are found for a distance of near a hundred miles, running North from your town, through a sec tion of country, too, the water-power of which cannot be surpassed in the State; scarcely in any other. Quarries of Slate and Marble have recently been discovered on Shoal Creek, in this County, that promise a rich investment for the capitalist. We nave the opinion of good miners, that Copper exists in this county equal to that in Ducktown, in richness, and very extensive in quantity. We have productive lands, a healthy climate, and as good, puro water, as ever gush ed from the Mountain’s side. In short, this section has every fa cility to make it o»ie of the finest man ura.ctor.Eg. ilmrcg aoand regions in the South; a country as de sirable as any under the sun, if prop er, y developed. Then what we need is men, Living Men, with capi al that will build Railroads, erect manufacto ries, &c., &.c. “S.” The Express. SAMUEL 11 SMI TIL Editor and Proprietor CARTEUSVILLE.

Carte isville, 3e0., [ Juue 29th, 1870. j The members of ihe Bar of Carters ville, assembled at the Court House, to-day, when, on motion of General Wm. T. Wofford, the Hon. J. R. Par rott, was called to the Chair. Judge Parrott said, The object of the meet ing was to take some appropriate ac tion commemorative of the death of Con. Wm. H Pritchett. On motion of John Cox, Esq., John W. \Vofford was requested to net as Secretary. On motion of the Hon. Jas. Milner, a Committee of three was appointed to make a report for the action of the meeting. Tne chair appointed as that Committee, Hon. James Milner, Gen. W. T. Wofford and Col. Janies W. Harris. On motion of Gen. Wofford, the meeting adjourned till to-morrow, (Wednesday,) to give the Committee f ir ßYiAe v 2BtYit iviemners assembled, pursuant to adjournment. Hon. J. R. Parrott being absent, on motion of Judge Miiner,, Col. Abda Johnson was called to the Chair. The Committee through Col. Harris, made the follow- Report: “The undersigned Committee, ap pointed to draft Resolutions in mem ry of War. H. Pritchett, late an hon ored member of this Bar and now de ceased, beg leave to report: Our departed friend and brother, was born in the State of Virginia, but m early life he removed to Georgia, where he grew to manhood. He was educated at the University of the State of Georgia, and graduated at that far famed institution with the first honors of his class. Choosing the profession of the law as his vocation in life, he was admitted to the Bar, and settled at Cartersviile, in Bartow County, where he resided up to the time of his j death, enjoying the respect of his fel low-citizens, and by sedulous attention to the duties of bis profession, obtain ed a lucrative practice, anil by bis ac knowledged abilities, placing himself in the first rauk of uis legal associates; an able lawyer, a wise counsellor, punctual, prompt and faithful, had life been spared him, he could reasonably have calculated on the highest honors of his profession. Pleasant in his man ners, agreeable in conversation, gener ous by nature, and liberal in thought and deed, he brought to all of social life the charm of a genial nature, cultiva ted intellect, scholarly properties, and kindly heart. The idol of his beloved wife and children, fond, affectionate and devoted as husband and fathei; his home, so cheerless now, was, while he lived, a happy place indeed. Useful and prized as a public spirit ed citizen, ready to advance all the in terests around him, he was what was of still far more worth, an active mem ber of thß Presbyterian Church, care ful of its good and zealous of its weal; in life, fulfilling all its duties with a cheerful heart, he came at last, ere yet his manhood had reached its prime, to us, its too early close, and calmly leaning on “the faith of the Son of God,’ undismayed walked down the dark valley, fearing no evil, and went away, as we hopefully believe, to the Mansions of the Just. “Thou art gone to the grave, but we will not . deplore thee, Whose God was thy ransom, thy guardian and guide; He gave thee, He took thee, and He will re store thee, And death has no sting since the Saviour has died. Resolved, That in the death of our departed Brother and Friend, Col. Wm. H. Pritchett, - we recognize a loss personal to ourselves, to the profes sion at large, and to the whole com munity. Resolved, That we hereby tender the afflicted family of the deceased, our wannest and kindest sympathy. Resolved, That in testimony of our sorrow for his decease, we wear the usual badge of mourning on oar left arms, for the space of thirty days. Resolved, That the Secretary of this meeting is hereby requested to trans mit a copy of the proceedings of this meeting to the family of the deceased. Resolved, That a copy of these pro ceedings be preserved to be spread up on the Minutes cf the Superior Court of Bartow County, at its next session. James Milner, ) W. T. Wofford, >- Com. J. W. Hartis, ) Col. Harris then moved that the Re port of the Committee be received, and made a few eloquent and feeling re marks in support of his motion, and in delineation of the character and worth of the deceased. Pending the motion, Col. Akin, Judge Milner, Gen, Wofford, Jno. W. Wofford, Thos. W. Milner, John Cox, R W, Murphey, and the Chairman, Col. Johnson, made very appropriate short addresses. On motion of Thos. W. Milner, the Cv-tecsville papers, Express and Standard, were requested to publish the prrceedings of the Meeting. On motion of John H. Wikle, the meeting adjourned.

It is the centre of our being, around which revolves all that makes existence happy. When this source is corrupted the painful effects are visible in many shapes, prominent among which is SCROFULA. This is a taint or infection of the hnmnn organism, and probably no one is wholly free from it. It exhibits itself in various shapes—as Ulcers and Sores, Decayed Bones, Diseased Scalp. Sore Eyes, Weak and Diseas ed Joints. St. Vitus’ Dance, Foul Discharg es from the Nostrils, Eruptions, Glandular Swellings, Throat Affections, Rheumatism, Heart Affections, Nervous Disorders, Bar renness, Disorders of the Womb, Dropsy. Syphillitic Affections, Liver Complaint, Salt Rheum, Dyspepsia, Neuralgia, Loss of Man hood and General Debility. It has been the custom to treat these dis eases with Mercury and other Mineral sub stances, which, though sometimes producing a cure, often prove injurious and entails misery in after life. The long known inju rious properties of these so-called alteratives and purifiers has led the philanthropical man of science to explore the arena of na ture, the result of which has been the discov ery of vegetable products which possess the power of eradicating these Taints from the Blood. Dr. TUTT’S Compound Extract Os Sarparilla and Queen’s Delight, Is the acknowledged antidote to all Blood Diseases. By its use the afflictions above enumerated can be permanently banished, and the Source—the Centre of Life—the Blood. be maintained in all its purity and vigor. For Diseases produced by the use of mercury, and for Sypliillis, " itli its train of evils, this com pound is the only sure antidote. To the poor creature, enfeebled in mind and body, by secret practices, whose nerves are unstrung, and countenance downcast THE SARSAPARILLA AND Queen’s Delight is a blessing. Try it fairly, and your nerves will be restored to their wonted vigor, and your dejected countenance bo made radiant with the conciousness of ' RESTORED MANHOOD. Being free from violent minerals, it is adapted to general use. The old and the young may use it; the most delicate female at any time may take it; the tender infant, who may have inherited disease, wiil be cur ed by it. FOR PURIFYING THE BLOOD USE DR. TUTT’S Extract of Sarsaparilla AND QIJEEIPS DELIGHT When used in the Spring it removes all hu mors which infest the system ; and banishes the languor and debility peculiar to that sea son of the year. It acts promptly on the LIVER AM) KIDNEYS, Producing a healthy action of the important organs by which all the impurities of the sys tem are carried off, and the result is A Clear Skin, a Good Appetite, and Bouyant Spirits.
