Exorcising tho House.
Terrible stories have beeu told of
houses haunted by the devil, and of the
fear people have had of dwelling in
such hdtases; verilythosc houses in which
rioting and drunkenness reign, in which
swearing and cursing are the language
of the house, or in which the more spir
itual wickedness of pride, malice, cov
etousness, and deceit have the ascen
dancy, may truly be said to bo haunt
ed by the devil, and they are most un
comfortable bouses for any man to live
in; they are holds of foul spirits, and
cages of unclean and hateful birds, even
asBabylon the great will be when it is
fallen, JRev. xviii. 2.
Now the way to keep sin out of the
house, is to keep up religion in the
house, which will be the most effectual
antidote against Satan’s poison. When
Abraham thought concerning Abime-
loch’s house, Surely the fear of God
not in thujplane, he concludes no less

worshippers. Nothing contributes more
powerfully to the prosperity ot the
church, than this cordial union ot all
its hearts and hands in the service and
kingdom of our Lord ; for this is an an

Tlie Duties of the Elder in Ireland
From the Book of Discipline of the Presby
terian Church of Ireland.
1. It is recommended, that each El
dcr be assigned a particular district of
tho congregation, over which he shall
he directed to exercise a special super
intendence.
2. To assist him in the performance
of his dnty, it is also recommended, that
each Elder keep a list of all the fami
lies ot his district; in which he shall
carefully mark those who neglect at
tending on the Lord’sSnpper, and those
young persons who are of sufficient age
to join in that ordinance. He should
take a particular notice of those who
join in such vain and seductive amuse
ments as aro incomputable with the
Christian character, and exhort them
to be sober-minded. He should also
take notice of those who are guilty of
quarrelling, sabbath breaking, drunk
euuess, profane swearing; and who,
on account of these, or any other noto
rious sins, aro excluded from the en
joyment of Church privileges.
3. When he finds any one in his dis
trict negligent of his duty, or guilty of
sinful practices, he should first, in great
meekness, speak to him in private. If
his brother hear him, ho has gained
his brother. But in cases where such
affectionate and well meant advice is
unavailing lie should either ask anoth
er elder, or the minister, to join him in
liis friendly admonitions, as may seem
most likely to reclaim the offender.
4. An elder, hy a conscientious dis
charge of his duty in these respects,
will acquire such knowledge of tho spi
ritual 6’ate of the people of his district,
as will enable him to act with efficien
cy in his own sphere, and materially
assist the minister in adapting bis ex
hortations and instructions to peculiar
circumstances. Yet, though thus watch
ful and attentive, lie is not to pry into
the secrets of families, or “make himself
a busy body in other men’s matters;”
but merely to watch over them in the
Lord, and stir tnem up to love and
good works.
It is the duty of an Elder, when
called upon, or when he thinks it advi
sable, to visit, exhort, and pray for the
sick, and also, those families that have
been visited by death or other afllic-
tions.

It is a truth—a lamentable truth—that
in Georgia—rich and unembarrassed Geor
gia—a lawyer, however learned and capable
he may be, cannot, hy reason of the meagre
salaries, aspire to the high and honorable pit
ces of professional preferment.
Ought this to be so? Ought the learned and
skillful lawyer, who has devoted a life of toil
to thc acquirement and possession of all the
knowledge and noble, intellectual attributes
which qualify him for judicial honors, be de
barred from them hy reason of a narrow
spirit of parsimonious, hut impolitic legisla
tion? Should we not open the avenues of
distinction, as well to tho poor, as to the rich
Every reader replies, yes—but if you look at
the practical workings of your present system
you will find that no lawyer of sufficient ca
pacity and standing can now enter into the
contest for judicial preferment, nnless he
is the recipient of an im-imc outside of that
which thc salary of the office affords.
Twenty-five hundred dollars is now paid to
the Judges of the Supreme Court—five bun
dred of this sum is required to pay travelling
and tavern expenses—leaving two thousand
dollars remuneration for services as a Judge,
with more labor of mind and body to perform
than would be required of the same person in
making twice that sum in the practice of his
profession. The Judges of the Superior
Court get eighteen hundred dollars per an
num. Three hundred of this goes to pay cir
cuit expenses, leaving fifteen hundred dollars
to pay the expenses of family, house rent, ed
ucation of children, &c. Is this liberal ?
it just ? Wc think not, and we believe a large
majority of the people think with us.
Another view of this question we desire to
bring before the Legislature.
It is a common regret that our best talent
and brightest intellects seek the arena where
national honors await them. Why is this ?—
We think thc true solution lies in the fact that
our State Officers are so poorly paid that our
leading men cannot afford, unless they are
rich,- to fill them; and the result is that the
best men and the best labor is given to tlie
General instead of the State Government, and
it will always beso.aslongas the choice is pre
sented between wealth, honor, and distinction
abroad, and office, hard labor, and poor pay
at home. We appeal to the next Democratic
Legislature to inaugurate a new movement.—
Let poverty he no longer a complete bar to
tlie high places of the State. Let the Legis
lature, by affixing liberal salaries to all the
State office i, invite our best men, whether rich
or poor, to engage in her service, and allure
them, from what are deemed hy many, to be
the corrupting pursuits of National honors.
Let some enlightened Legislator—not
lawyer—bring in a bill to increase the sala
ries of our public servants—let him not be
deterred from a faithful and fearless advocacy
of this great and just measure of reform, hy
the hue and cry of a few demagogues who are
so horribly afraid of their popularity. The
people will sustain an increase of salary, and
a just compensation for labor in the State, as
they have recently done in the case of their
representatives in the National Congress. Now
is the time for the movement—tho State is
out of debt—the income from the State Road
is large and increasing, and the taxes merely
nominal. We con raise oar salaries and re
duce our taxes.
Who will take the lead ?
Hon. Robert Toombs and tltc Sen-
ATL.
Thc Georgia Legislature, to assemble on
Wednesday the 4th of November next, will
have to elect a Senator. The term for which
Mr. Toombs was choseu expires on the 4th of
March 1859,—before thc meeting of the Leg
islature of that year. Who shall the Legisla
ture elect is the great question, and the Tele
graph, as an independant journal, does not lies
itate for a moment in thc expression of its pre
ference.
In our humble judgment Robert Toombs
should be selected, and we hope he will havc
no opposition.
He has represented Georgia in the Senate
for four years with fearless independence and
rare ability.—Profound as a lawyer, eloquent
in debate, discreet as a statesman and wise in
council, he is thc man above all others for the
time and the place. .
It is a work of superogdtion in us to attempt
to convince the people of Georgia of Mr.
Toombs’ capacity and qualifications. He
stands before the State aud the Republic ac
knowledged hy all men of all parties, one of
the first and leading minds in thc Senate. Let
Georgia keep him there. The Democracy of
Georgia owe it to themselves—to their old
line Whig friends, to re-elect him, and we
doubt not, from thc signs of the times, that lie
will be, by a triumphant and unanimous vote.
Our correspondent Crawford expresses our
views.
United States Senator.—Wo sec some
of our exchanges, and among them, tbe Bain-
bridge Argus, are proposing thc name of the
Hon. Chas. J. McDonald, as successor to Hon
Robert Toombs in the U. S. Senate from
Georgia. No good objection cau be urged
against Judge M'Donald. But wc see no rea
son why lie should vacate thc high position he
now so ably fills for another. .
The present distinguished incumbent, Mr.
Toombs, is inferior to no man in the Union, in
qualifications for the office, and though wc can
not adopt all his views on certain questions,
we confess wc would dislike to sec him super
seded in the present posture of our Federal
affairs. No man South can exert so great in
fluence over the powers at Washington in de
fence of our rights. And though wo approve
generally the doctrine of rotation in office, wo
would regret to sec it carried out in this in
stance, unless some better objection can be
urged against Mr, Toombs, than we have yet
heard or seen.—South- Western j\eics.

Howell Cobb, Secretary of the
‘TREASURY,
Has proved himself fully equal to thc present
emergency and thc ability and skill which lie
has displayed in thc disbursements of thc Go-
ernment funds during the present crisis, have
elicited the highest praise from not only the
Democratic, hut the opposition press. We
could fill our columns with extracts from the
leading commercial journals of thc country
commenting on his course in the most compli
mentary terms—but it is useless for us to pub
lish for the information of Georgians, flatter-
notices of Howell Cobb. He was horn in
Georgia, reared in Georgia, and as long as he
holds a place in the Councils of thc nation,
Georgia will rest satisfied that “all is well

one dollar of liability. The panic has come
with thc suddenness of an earthquake—come,

price, suddenly fell at least one half in appre
ciable value, annihilating by a stroke of fancy,

from Northern press and pulpit upon the ne
cessity of 11 confidence in this crisis,” as if a
man could, on a pinch, by a mere effort of will,
believe, what he knows not to be true; as for
illustration that the banks can pay three, four
five, six or seven dollars with one. The fact
is, confidence is impossible and rightly so, and
were it not hoping against all experience of the
past wc should hope it never would be restored
again, until valuations had beeu adjusted by
the true, constitutional standard of value, and
measures taken to maintain that standard.
This dear experience ought to teach us the
folly of prostituting, poisoning, inflating and
swelling this standard with Bank paper 1—
There is gold enough in this country, in Cali
fornia and in the world—gold which would
come here and furnish a solid metalic currency
and standard of value, to do the business of
the country conveniently and safely. Private
Banks of Dcpositc and Exchange could fur
nish all transfers cheaply and conveniently,
and such Banks, instead of asking public and
legislative sanction for suspension or malfea
sance, could aud would be held to responsibili
ty. The present order of things amounts prac
tically to the establishment of two standards of
valuation—one for hard, and another for easy
times. At a time of general ‘'confidence,” the
Banks are all sound because few demand a re
demption of their bills. They issue freely and
swell thc current of circulation with hills be
lieved to be equal in vaiue with gold. Money
is plenty and property of all kinds high—
These inflated values become themselves in
turn, the basis of still further Bank expansions,
and all moves on swimmingly till a “want of
confidence” is felt. Then wc return by de
grees to a specie standard. The Banks dis
honor their own obligations because they can
not meet them, and so far from being held to
penal responsibility, the people rejoice over
Bank suspensions, because they see less pre
sent evil in a dishonored and irredeemable
paper currency than in a sudden contraction
to a specie standard. By and by, after a gra
dual contraction, the more solvent Banks arc
enabled to resume—the weaker go into final
liquidation, and the people again start from
something like real valuations, to build up for
tunes, which must again be wrecked in the old
routine of confidence, gradual expansion, in
flntion and failure. Some of thc papers (the
New York Herald for example) arc urging up
on “Congress sovereign control over the bank
ing system of the country.” The old Nation
al Bank is a thing of the past. It is gone and
will never be reviewed. Congress has provided
a circulating medium in gold and silver. That
is enough, and almost against hope, and it some
times occurs to us as possible, that public
opinion may, with these repeated universal
suspensions, set at once and finally against
these schemes for deranging values by paper
issues, which arc good until redemption is
asked. Banks of issue should go out of fash
ion.

A coiTesponJent of tlie New York Tribune, the
lii.i't rabid Auti-'-luvoi y j.,,; rv i:, :lie " Free North,*'
writ!'or from 1..wrenee, K. T., Oet. Itli, 1857, say.- :
“ I have not written you for some time, not that
1 have Io.-t .ill interest in Kansas affairs, but 1 had
become t do thoroughly disgusted with the adminis
tration of aliiiirs in K.u.-i- to write about it.—
Walker has u last shown his full colors, and is,
‘horse, foot ami dragoons,’with all the influence
he can muster, operating with the cut-throats and
nullifiers for the subjugation of Kansas. For two
weeks past lie has lain around the fort, holding se
cret caucuses with the most violent l’ro-SIavery
men, such as Isaacs, Lccompte & Co. About a
week ago, a reliable Free-State man was rent to
Gov. Walker, ihdy accredited, as a Simon Pure
Border Ruffian. Walker was very sociable, and
said, among other things, that ‘ By ! we, the
Pro-Slavery Democracy, must carry Leavenworth
county.’ ”
Judge Anderson, and the City
COURT.
Wc arc glatl to sec that Judge Auderson
has resigned the Judgeship of tho City Court
to which ho was elected by thc city voters
last year. Judge Anderson lias made an able
and popular Judge of a very unpopular Court,
and by his resignation removes the only ob
stacle in the way of the repeal of the act es
tablishing this very unnecessary and trouble
some addition to our Judiciary system.
The exigencies of thc times never demanded
this Court—it was not desired by the citi
zens of Macon, and we believe wc express thc
unanimous sentiment of our people when we
say that wc hope the Senator and Represen
tatives from Bibb county will introduce and
pass at as early a clay as practicable, a bill for
the repeal of the act organizing this perplexing
tribunal.

Is the warning found at every crossing
on our Rail Roads, to give notice to trav
ellers of the approach of the engine, and
so accustomed have our opposition friends be
come to defeat aud disaster, that their friends
are almost ready to cry out on the eve of an
election', “ Look out, Samuel, the people are
voting.” The returns from the recent elec
tions are cheering to the Democracy, Missis
sippi sends a full team of Democrats to Con
gress, Davis, Quitman, Singleton, Lamar, and
Barksdale. Democratic majority on joint bal
lot, and a countless majority for McWillie, the
Governor. Pennsylvania—the Key Stone of
the arch—Mr. Buchanan’s native State—has
whipped out that arch traitor and demagogue,
David Wilmot, of proviso memory, and elect
ed Gen. Wm. F. Packer, a sound National
Kansas Democrat—by from forty to fifty
thousand majority—a large Democratic ma
jority on joint ballot, and Judges and State
Offices. Iowa has changed front—repudiated
Black Republicanism, and elected Democrats.
Ohio has wheeled into line—a Democratic ma
jority in the Legislature, and the Governor in
doubt. California is sound to the core. Wel
ler has been elected by a large vote—and we
say look out Samuel when the people vote.
Attention AH.
Our banks have suspended, but in our opin
ion the holders of Bills should not sacrifice
them. The Georgia Banks are solvent—their
notes are taken for debts, and in pay for goods
by our merchants. The Manufacturer’s bank,
as our readers will perceive, by a notice from
most of our leading merchants is taken for
debts due them, or goods bought. Many per
sons interested will doubtless attempt to de
stroy confidence in our banks, but our farm
ers must recollect that the banks arc in pos
session of a large amount of paper, and credi
tors particularly will be induced to decry their
solvency for the purpose of buying up sus
pended bank notes, at heavy discounts to pay
their own indebtedness.
Our advice is to hold on to the bank notes,
do not sacrifice them. They will be good in
due season.

A good Fxample—Fct others follow.
The Superintendent of the South Western
Rail Road has ordered his supply of negro
clothes to be made of the cotton from the Hous
ton County Factory, (Tooke’s Mill.) Georgia
Cotton, Georgia Wool and Georgia Mills 1
They are to be cut by a Georgia tailor, and
given out to he made up by seamstresses in
Macon ; thus distributing more than a thou
sand dollars at home, instead of going to the
North.
This is tlie true way to acbeive Southern in
dependence, and particularly in these hard
times. Let all our Southern people follow this
wise and liberal policy. You deserve credit
Mr. Adams.
Thirty Thousand
Ahlo bodied men—willing to labor, could
labor be procured—men, in a majority of cases
with families dependent upon *he.n, will this
winter be turned loose in the hard, stony city
of New York—the great “wilderness of bricks
and mortar,” without money or the chance to
procure it. They will be literally under a
“ necessity which knows no law.” Will strong
men starve in thc midst of plenty ? Will they
staud by in idle, listless and defenceless mis
ery, to see gaunt famine gnaw the vitals of
their little ones ? to see them perish with cold
and nakedness, while but a thin door or a
pane of brittle glass shuts them out of relief
and plenty? This is the fearful problem New
York should prepare to meet this winter. The
merest selfish precaution demauds a liberal
provision for the poor and unemployed, or thc
great danger is that it will be had by violence,
and at infinitely greater cost. Stores of bread,
clothing, fuel, and of money, cannot be safo
in thc midst of a desperate and starving popu
lation, numerous enough to sweep the police
out of existence. Wisdom, benevolence and
selfishness, alike sound a loud voice of mo
nition to prepare in time to carry these poor nci ’ or
through thc winter.
