Tlio Louisville Journal in alluding to the
unparalleled growth of that city, truly remarks
“Cincinnati is a wonderful city. In forty,
five years her population has increased from
five hundred to seventy thousand souls. For-
Iy.five years ago Cincinnati was a village of-
log cabins, in the centre of a vast wilderness ;
n ow it is a city of immense commercial and
manufacturing importance, with n large and en
terprising population, noted for devotion to nil
• the arts that adorn society and peculiarize mod
ern civilization. The recordsof the Old World
cannot furnish nn instance so wonderful, and so
honorable to human enterprise. What were
t',e hoisted wonders of the Old World to such
wonder as that we are considering, which re
quired forces unknown to antiquity? To res
cue an almost illimitable wilderness from a
state of nature, and to build, whero fifty years
ago the shade of trees many centuries old, re
posed, a city rich in intellect, art, and every
kind of industry, is an achievement which tho
ancient world cannot parallel.”
' The following striking view of the influen
ces exerted by Cotton, lh3 great lever staple of
the- world, we take from the Charleston Mer
cury of Wednesday la‘t, and bespeak for it
the attention of every reader into whose

u m The Duke then returned to hit piece, in which he rf •
mtined till die House adjourned, and even took part in the
discussion of the business transacted.
4 * A person called at the Duke's house last night at 11
o'clock, not 12,10 inquire how the Duke was. The answer
was * Mrfectly teclC and not that * he vita convalescent.*
“ The Duke has stated these facts as the foundation fer
I his request • * • that when his name is inserted in the
Morning Post in future, care should be taken that it is not
made the matter of a falsehood.*'
The Post thereupon most humbly made amends. The
Morning Chronicle, however, took the matter in high dud*
rer.n, and as news li»d just arrived from Paris, that Victor
Hugo, the poet, and M. Berlin Decaux, the editor of the
Journal Debate, had been raised to the Peerage of France,
the Chronicle thus vents its spleen :
“Strange promotions these appear in our free country,
where it would be something absurd to fancy Viscount
Thomas Moore or Earl Willism Wordsworth assumingtho
coronet and ermine; or Mr. Walter taking his seat in the
House of Lords, or the chief of the Post or the Herald, after
supporting the government worthily at his printing office in
Cdine Lane in the morning, going down to support it by bis
rote at Westminster in the evening, cheek by jowl with
other noble peers there. Now fancy what would F. M. the
. raoaFECTS OF THE PLANTER COTTON.
, Of >11 | b p cultivators of the mother earth, the Cotton

ni:»tion of man. that the world ha, ever seen. Clothing
ii a firm great cause, a* it it the firat great proof of an ad
vancement fro" 1 the vice, and ignorance of barbariam tn
nrcaniaed society. and the virtues which .re necessary to
•attain it. The fir^ lesson by which man learn* his de
pravity,'**! puts forth the first virtuous effort to couquer
it. is to clothe himself. Hence, as the world emerges from
barbarism. and becomes civilized and Christianized, the
demand forCotlra, from which the cheapest clothing is
made, will be extended. And even amongst nations al-
rrady civilised, aa the arts of living improve, and cleanli.
ness become* a necessity amongst the People, a greater
qnaatity yf cotton clothing is required. Within twentr
vrar* the people of Europe have learned to wear twice
ii. quantity of clothing ftom Colton, they were acrustoraed
to usf. From such causes, the demand for ratv C-llon baa
lirpt steady pace with the production; and is destined, we
lielierc. in go on tn an extent, which only the Christian
Philanthropist, looking to the conversion of the whole
world, to the liehtand civilization of the Gospel, ran at all
apprehend. We really have nn pat.cnee with those who,
•t trery commercial convulsion, for the last lorty years,
' rrv oat'over production,” as the cause of the depression
of prices in this great commodity; and if our contempt
roahi be at all increased in intensity, it would be for those
nsnsellors who, from this false deduction, would urge the
Punter, voluntarily to diminish his produr lion, in order
that be may incrense hia gains. If all experience did not
prnra, that as he extends bis production be widens bis mar.
bet. an I that his m irket has been fully equal to his produc
tion—we must still look with loathing upon counsels which
wsnld visit with fearful suffering and distress a large por
tion of the human rare, for a mere speculative good, it is
not in the order of Providence, although heartless wrong
* may often prartice it. that the welfare and permanent pros
perity nf any set of men, are dependent on the deprivation
sod misery of others. All such doctrines spring from the
rnrrupt snd flagitious principles of monopoly, which sets
in an against his fellow man, and marks him a prey fur hia
lirotiirr. On the contrary, lie principles nf our holy re
ligion. which teaches us tn love each other, and every sound
doctrine of political economy, alike lead ua to produce all
is- cin fur ench other'* needs: and 1>.V the free interchange
nf pro lucti'.ns, contribute tn ench other’s necessities and
pmmn.e each other's happiness. This is the plain path of
p-Asperity and doty; whilst the contrary leads to haired,
contention, and war. The C umn Planter ha* a noble p**t
up'ay in the world, and if be fi la it. a noble fame to earn
ii the world's history. In spite of reviling* and denunei-
sums, the two millions of Cotton Planters in the Southern
$ut'T, are doing more for the improvement, peace and
hippmesa of tlie world, than all it* rulers and Governments

hardly consider you to be a man. I scarcely consider you
worthy of the semblance of politeness or the common de
cencies of language. If you make an incorrect statement
nbnut me. I give you tlie lie. Begone! Give me no more
trouble, and tell me no inure lies. This is the cist of F. M.’s
note, published in our Saturday's paper. The Post fancies
the F. M. is sick, and says ao. The F. M. a ay* the state
ment is ‘wilfully false.’ and requests the editor tn lie pleased
to takv care that no more ‘falsehoods’ are told concerning
him. The F. M.’a gracious letter runs through all the news
papers. and is token up by the j ress with a sort, of glee —
There is no remonstrance made, no protest against the F.
M.’s words, that they are grossly insulting; that no man, not
even a newspaper editor, is to be acruscd of a lie lightly;
that no F. M. however famous his name, great his age, or
testy his disposition, has a right to use this kind of language
towards men pretending to decency of character: not a
word is heard of remonstrance against this outrage, and it
is passed over as if it wss the usual nnd proper style of in
tercourse between great people and tbe press. • • •
And. to be sure, what right have we to complain, when the
victim himself bears bis punishment with such a charming
meekness? • We think,’ says the Post.’bis Grace has been
rather loo hard upon us in attributing wilfui misrepresent
talion. Who would wilfully misrepresent bis Grace’s
health?—we, for our part, wish him to be in life os lie is tn
fame—immortal!’ It certainly is ’rather bird,'because you
are mistaken about nn old gentleman's health, to be accused
of propagating wilful falsehoods. The language is rstlier
hard. and tlie bearing it, wc should have thought harder
still: but no; whnt right to the courtesies of life, or to the
privileges of feeling, have men belonging to tlie English
press ? What right have they to aspire to n decent social
rank.or to demand a common civil treatment?
Tho Special jr, nn impartial journal displaying mare tal
ent than probably any other newspaper of the present time,
however, takes another view of the matter:
Ourcnntemporary forgets the provocation; it is very an-
noying. when you are quite well, to have your house be
sieged by fussy inquirers speaking cf you ax moribund ;
still tnnre unpleasant is it to be followed by a crowd nn the
next day. wondering at you as i r you were a live ghost.—
Rut fussy ‘gentlemen nf tbe press' seem tn think that their
connection ought to he a passport to all plares at all times—
not excepting even the lcie-a tete of a royal couple in rural
retirement. In fact, the press helps to draw down upon it
self some contempt for its pandering to the lowei kinds of
gossip. A newspaper is a thing ftom which no kind of
•rumor.’ however frivolous, mischievous or disgusting, is
excluded; because rumors are gossip, tlie English people
love gossip, and it ia worth ao murh a sheet. The Chron
icle says, that such a note as the Duke of Wellington's,
addressed to a French paper, liy the Duke ol Dalmatia for
instance, wnnld have excited quite a different feeling in the
French press, and that the peccant peer would have been
worried into better behavior. May be so; but, on the other
hand, the French journals do not lav themselsrs quite so
open to reproach on the score of vulgar gossip aa ours do.
News they have, nn doubt, of tlie baser as well as tlie high-
er kinds, criminal as well as political news; but it is not
put forth with all the odions elaboration and prominence
that it is in oars. We talk of the inferior 'morals’ of our
neighbors; bat wliat in the artistical and analytical Myste
ries of Parit could be half *o noxious as the naked expo
sure of the revolting and contaminating mysteries of Lon
don laid hare, with foul minuteness and silly unconscious
ness of the filth, it tlie reparfs of the great St. Giles'* mur
der? The Duke of Wellington is a msn who see* such
truths as come within the scope nf his vision with unmis-
takeahle distinctness; Ids natural eyesight, as through a
telescope, t kes in hnt a small field, yet straight forw ird
ia as kren as sn eagle’s: he saw here nothing hot the bad
gossipping part of English journalism: it happened to of
fend him personally, and he rebuked it accordingly.
“ But there arc other reasons why the Duke should have
been more tartly rereived in Franee. It is our own fault
if our noldes treat u* with this excessive arrogance; they
do but reflect tbe servility with which the English people
worship titles; a specie* of idolatry not under the ban nf
'Protestantism.' In France there is lets of tliia prostrate
adoration. A title there tnav even 1-e more coveted bv all
the world, but whe-t got, it is tliouglit let* of. It is. wliat
our neighbor* seem tn relish mure than we. a personal
adornment—something that imparts » more striking effert
to the attitude of the wearer—a feather in bis cap as he
strut* the stage of life: but it is not much more. A real
peer does not command vastly more respect than a niimis
peer at t"e theatre: the chief difference is, that his honors
are permanent.
••With us there is scarcely any bound to onr reverence.
Practically, n title outweigh* every other consideration.
A man may lie the veriest vagabond about town—the play
thing nf jockey* and courtesan*, a wreneher of knockers, a
dabbler m equivocal hill-discountings; but if he is a lord,
there is charity for his error* from all.* smile of indulgence
hostility—the one is nearly as fatal to success
as the other. Jf indeed such spots ominous of
mischief, are to be seen on our political hori
zon—what action does patriotism loudly, im
periously demand at the hands of the Conven
tion, a removal of the serious and imposing ob
stacle to aucces9. If the fact stated be con
ceded as true, we next consider, how is the ob
stacle to be removed—how the threatened mis
chief to be avoided. To my mind the proper
course is obvious, and the more clearly so, be
cause it is believed ike delegates are not tram
meled by instructions, and it is hoped not fet
tered by committals. Let the Convention se
lect some one ot’ier than either of the gentle•
men spoken of— thus adopting the plan and po
licy of the Presidential Convention of Inst year.
This course will dry up the souices of perso
conient, harmonize all the various cliques and
sub-divisions of the pariyj and then will the de
mocracy of Georgia, united and harmonious,
cheered with the prospectof a splendid achieve
ment, move on with a zeal and perseverance
worthy of their principles—nor cease the battle
cry till victory shall reward the party whose
motto is “ every thing for the cause—nothing
for men.”
Mr. Editor, it should be remembered, I trust
it may nevor be forgotten, that the great demo
cratic party of the Union, deeply, indelibly im
pressed upon the action of the Baltimore Con
vention the seal of its hearty approbation.—
And Georgia not less patriotic, will bestow
the same approval, for the adoption of the samo
policy. NO MAN’S MAN.

Mr. Peel congratulated himself that he had,

Higgins, to O’Connell, will serve to show how
the olive branch is likely to be received:

COMMUNICATED.
Mn, Editor—The Democratic Convention
s'io:i to assemble to nominate a candidate fur
Governor, have a duty to perform, not only im
portant in its diameter, but of delicacy in its
execution. That the consequences resulting
from this selection, must for a long time be felt,
n 1 ne I presume are prepare I to deny. Wheth
er these consequences be favorable or adverse,
will depend on the wisdom and prudence of
their action. A wise choice will insure suc
cess—a selection predicated on mere personal
preference, will but invite defeat.
I will not believe the Delegates to be insen
sible to the impoitance of their action,- ot in
different to the delicacy of their position. On
tho contrary, 1 have no reason to doubt, and
therefore do not doubt cither their aibiliiy of
inclination to act for the best interests of the
country—anil while they have an eye to the
triumph nf our party, mid the support of our
standard—1 trust it will be but secondary ns to
who shall be its bearer, so he bo “ sound in the
faith” “ honest and capable.” But at this
point lies tlie danger, for however honest our
purposes, it is sometimes a difficult and always
a painful task to surrender a friend, even when
tlie claims of country demand the sacrifice-
nothing below a stern, unbending patriotism is
equal to the trial.
Mr. Editor, these remarks are elicited from
the fact, and it were vain, if not impolitic, to at
tempt its concealment, that no one of the dis
tinguished gentlemen spoken of for the office of
Governor, can be nominated without producing
in the over zealous admirers of the rejected, a
feeling, if not a correspond ng action much to
be deprocated and if possible to bo avoided. I
do not wish to be nnrfersfood as charging them
with opposition to tho nominee, but I do fear
a support so cold, heartless and inefficient as to

On the 12th inst. at his residence in Monroe county. Mr.
John Rxddi.no. in the 5it!i year of his age. In all the re
laiinnsoflife he maintained a pure and spotless ch.iractrr.-
He was a devoted husband, an indulgent father, n kind
neighbor. He was beloved by nil for his purity and ster
ling moral character, and as one giving the brightest evi.
deuce ofa higher and happier destiny. For 13 years ha
was a consiateMmember ofthe Methodist Episcopal Church.
His afflictions for 15 months vrere multiplied, and often se-
vere,.but amid them all lie was sustained in such an aston
ishing manner, as to furnish practical evidence of unwaver
ing trust in the Lord and merits of hia Redeemer.
A few days before his death lie appeared to gird up the
energies olhii wiste.l body and struggling spirit, and while
his family and friends were around Ins bed, admonished
them to meet him in Heaven, after which he sung a verse
of tbe hymn commencing'-Jeaus my all to Heaven is gone."
and shouted aloud tlie praise- of his blessed Redeemer.
“Heaven gives us friends to bless the present scene,
Resumes them to prepare us for the uext.”

PUBLIC SALE
Of tbe Monroe Bail Bond & Banking Company.
GEORGIA, ? Decree of the. Special Jury in relation
Bibb County. J to the Monroe R. Road^-Bk’g Company.
W E the Jury, find and decree, that the Monroe Rail
Road from Macon to its terminus at Marthasville, io
the county of DeKalb. both the part thereof which hnsbeen
completed end in operation, and the part thereof which is
in an unfinished condition.and all the property, equipments,
and effects therewith connected, is subject to the payment
nf the debts of the Monroe Roil Road and Banking Compa
ny—that the said Company ia insolvent and wholly unable
to pay its debts aforesaid; and from its embarrassments is
unable to complete said Road, and keep the same in opera
tion. so as to answer the great public objects contemplated
by the Legislature. We find that there are creditor., of va
rious descriptors of said company, viz: holders of thelank
uoles issued by said Company, holders of bonds issued for
work and materials for said Tlnad, judgment creditors,
creditors holding certificates ofdeposile. demands for work,

them creditors claiming a priority of rijjfct in respect to their
demands ; and we further decree that the said Rail Road,

lice in the gazettes nf Macon, Griffin and Savannah, and that
the proceeds of said sale be paid to the Clerk ol this Court
who is required tn deposite the same for safe-keeping on
special deposite in the Agency of the Mechanics’ Bank in
the city of Macon, nnd that pub’ic notice be given to the
creditor* of said Company to file their respective claims, or
a schedule thereof in the Clerk’s office of this Court, by the
first Monday in October next; and that the said creditors, if
any controversy should arise respecting said claims, then
litigate amoejr themselves, in respect to all objection; which
would or might have been available against them by said
Company if said sale had not been made in relation to mat
ters of aet-ofT, and wheth-r they be subject to objectirn on
account of the statute of limitation, non-performance of eon-
tracts. or oilier cause, embracing the,quantum of considera
tion. paid for the claims or any of them, and also that the
liens claimed by the respective creditors be then and there
al.-o investigated and adjudicalej : and we further decree
that the purchasers of caid Rail Rond succeed to all the ob
ligations of satd Company in respect to the completing,
equiping snd keening the said Road in operation, as intend
ed and designed by the act of incorporation, but not to ex
tend to a liability o’l debts contracted prior to snid sole; and
that after said said sale, upon demand or notice, tlie stock
holders in said Company transfer to the purchaser the stock
held by him. her or them in the said Company, or dint the

ner as ia provided by law for the transfer of bank stock

the time intervening between the day of the passing of this
decree and the day of sale, the receipts on the said Road be
applied, and that if said receipt* should not be sufficient for
said purpose, that the balance be paid from the proceeds "of

T HE Grand Jury of the firat pannel, fitr Mav term,
1815, at the close of their service, adopting the
usual course, desire to offer the result of tliefr delibera
tion* to thsir fellow citizens, hia Hon. Judge Tracy, and
the Hon. Juaticesof thelnferiorCourt. Whilst making
our exordium, w* take occasion ro remark—that fbe
wishes and deliberations of Grand Jurors, as well ns
their recommendulions, are for the most part unproduc
tive; the views expressed nnd recommendations made,
being too soon overlooked and forgotten.
We invite attention to the necessity of repealing the
present law granting repeals without arcurity or even
payment of costs, believing its repeal would prexenl
frivolous ana useless deleya.
We recommend to the attention of the Court, the im
portance of refusing to receive substitutes on atjyjury,
but in all cases where necessity makes it proper that
talesmen only be allowed
On the subject of Jury service, having (coked into it
fairly, we recommend to our Interior Court auch an eco
nomical application of the taxes to bn raised, as u ill
provide for tha payment of Petit Jurors, who are usu
ally a clas* of men least able to spare the requisite time.
It Is h*rd for the humble poor man to perforin these dit
ties without such a remuneration as would supply hia
kbor during hie absence. We recommend them to hare
a preference over other claimants ngainst the county.
The subject of gambline has occupied some ol our
time. It is extremely difficult, under existing circum
stances, to effect any important improvement. When
so much general indifference pervades all classes of
people on this subject, each citizen thinks he has done
hi* duty well enough, when he avoids the subject alto
gether. But this class of people are getting too numer
ous and powerful; they art courted too much, and fa
vored too much. Virginia on tlie one hand, and Alaba
ma on the oilier, hy penal enactments, have forced these
people into our less careful Stale, and ourown town lias
it's full quota of tliem. _Our young men are daily beset
by their cunningly devised allurements, and when we
shall get relief, is a question hard to Answer. If we find
true bills, they are hut seldom made available by ar
rest*, and often after arrest, the security being insuffi
cient, the principtl escape* altogether. Something must
lie done on this subject; and to do any thing, we must
look for greater assistance fiom the law-tbiding portion
of the community.
The Clerks’ hooks of the Superior, Inferior, and Court
of OrJinarv, are well kept, as usual.
We have"recommended the payment of Messrs. Offutt
and Johnson’s, late Tax Receivers, claims fur commis
sions on county tax, for 1873 and 1844.
The Jail is considered in bad condition, requiring
cleansing all through, yard snd privy. The debtors’
rooms are uncomfortable, wanting glass windows; nnd
we think if the whole interior was whitewashed it would
he a great improvement.
Tlie Court House requires attention, and as a “stitch
in time saves nine,” we put it specially under the notice
of the Inferior Court.
The roads and bridge* are generally in good order,
except in Howard’a district, which have been but par
tially or imperfectly worked the present year.
\Ve have allowed to the Tax Collector on his insol
vent list, the sum of $609 59 cents. From our investi
gation of this subject, it seems that near two hundred
persons pay no taxes in this county. The low condi
tion ofour treasury admonishes us to endeavor to effect
some change in this department: we therefore recom
mend the Judges of the InfsriorCourt lo employ special
services for the collection ol this insolvent list", and we
call upon them to cause a list of defaulters to be put up
at each precinct, and that managers presiding at elec
tions be requited to exact pavrnent nf all taxes due,
before voting, Irrespective of the usual agreements be
tween candidates.
The whr»t» amount of taxes collectnhle last year ivas
$5,598 54—of this large sum, not one cent seems to have
been paid into the treasury ia ensh hy tho Collector,
sod yet the question mny he asked, who paid his taxes
in county scrip? The collector has his duty clearly
pointed out to him by the. law, and should follow it. Wo
recommend to the Inferior Court to require all taxes in
future to be paid into the treasury in cash, there to be
subject to the direction of Court.
The Treasurer Macnrthy’a books nre found correct,
showing iff his hands $35 07 cts. forestray sales, etc.
and tho late Treasurer,Mr. Rainey,shows his accounts
correct, exhibiting the amount of $3,743 93 cts. receiv
ed in county orders, leaving in his hands a balance nf
33 cents on the general tax: also showing the re
ceipt from the Collector for poor fund in county orders
of $805 50 cts. leaving in his hand* $5 62 cents—of this
fund which deducting commissions and insolvent list,
leave* $127 70 cts. unaccounted for in the collector’s
hands.
The condition of the poor hare had our attention, hut
haring every confidence in onr present Inferior Court,
nr* will barely remark, that as there has been $2,153 28,
raised last year, for their benefit, it is hut nn act of jus
tice to let "them have tho use of it. We also recom
end the levy of such an extra rata of taxation for tha
current rear," as will provide for the education of the
poor children of the county.
We think it but an act of justice to the distressed poor
of our county, that after a large nmi of money :b raised
by taxation for their benefit, that our regular county
Poor House sliujld be opened for their reception. We
call this matter specially to the attention of our new
Justices of the Inferior Court, hoping through the inter
est manifested hy this Jury, to wake them up ton live
ly sense of duty on this subject.
We ask the attention of onr next Legislature to that
part of our penal law relating to the punishment in
cases for carrying deadly weapon*. We thick it would
he best, and therefore recommend such a change as will
leave the punishment to the discretion of tlm Courts,
where it now provides for the punishment by fine.
This Jozy have had their attention directed to the-
consideration of agricultural pursuits, hy the exhibition
hy A. E. Earnest, Esq , (one of the body") of some beau
tiful specimens of domestic silk nnd a pair of gloves, ail
produced on his farm. During the great improvement
of our day in the mechnnic arts, xve wonder at the in
difference manifested on agricultural matters. Georgia
seems to be behind her sister States. She has lately,
wc see, formed nn agricultural society., which ive hope
to see inviting und securing the expression of scientific
nnd practical minds, through which a common stock of
information may be gathered.
We therefore recommend the formation of an auxili
ary agricultural society in Bibb county, and invite ail
persons interested to yneet at the Court House for that
purpose, oh tho third :5uturday in J tine next, at 10 o’clock
The condition of public morals requires one word of
notice. We are compelled to believe from the extent of
our criminal docket vnd the abundant evidence elicited
in the course of our deliberations, that we a* a commu
nity nre far behind in the observance of good order and
public obedience to the laws. We regret to be forced to
stale, ihct (he SahhHth day is not observed with suffi
cient respect, anJ tliut there are many other practice*
requiring the united discountenance of onr people. We
call upon all good citizens for the manifestation of great
er interest on this subject..
We request the publication of these presentments.
In taking leave of his Hon. Judge Tracy, and Mr.
Solicitor Hall, we tender to.them our thnnks for their
willing co-operation, urbanity and kindness.

amounting to $67 46 cents, which amount we have al
lowed him- We would recommend to the Honorable
tho Judges of the Inferior Court nf this county, the pro
priety of carpeting the court room, in a cheap and eco
nomical manner; believing that it is almost impossible,
as the room i* at'present, to proceed in business witli
that promptness, or to preserve that orderand decorum,
which nre so essential to the character and dignity of
Court* of I.nW:
Before closing our deliberations, we would make a
suggestion which we deem of the highest importance
not only to the people of this county, but to our fellow
citizens generally throughout the State. We allude to
the organization of n Supreme Judicial, or high Court
for the correction of errors. The undersigned are aware
that this subject has engaged much of the public atten
tion on former occasions, and that the chief ground un-
hicli such a tribunal i* demanded, jins been exhib
ited bv the soundest aud most disliuguiahed jurist* of
our own, ns well ns most of the other Slates of the Un
ion, ami that any remarks here on the subject would not
only he superfluous, but a useless labor.
We would therefore eorneetiy nnd respectfully rec
ommend to the next Legislature, the ptopriely and im
portance of organizing such n Court, and while xve add
our laments to those of mnny of our fellow ci:izens,
that n State like Georgia should be coffered so long Its
lag behind hersisters. in the character of hpr Judicial
Triba'iml*,' »e confidently indulge the hope that the day
is not distant when the lfeeesenry reform in our system
will be accomplished.
We cannot take leave of their Honors Judge Tracy
and Cole, without the expression of our warmest than a
for their uniform eoorleav to ibis body.
