The war dogs have been let loose nt last, and the first battle of the campaign was nt Kars between the Turk sand their late enemies the Montenegrins, in which the latter were defeated. Heavy forces of Russians are advancing upon Turk ish territory from different j oints, and we may listen for stirring news from the East at an early day. The effect the war will have upon the commercial in terests of the "United States is now agi tating the minds of the newspapers, and our loading commercial men. Some say the South will be seriously hurt, while others affirm that it will make business brisk sill over the United States ; but however that may be, common sense indicates that the proper course for far mers to jHirsue, is to be mire to raise their own breadstuffs and meat, before jdant ing cotton. This is the safest and best plan, even if the blood of Turks and Russians does not flow. Let Us Have a Convention. Yes let us have a Convention and a new Constitution. There are many changes which an honest and intelligent body of men could arrange for the pros perity of a great State like Georgia, and let us elect men untram moled and quit talking about removing the Capital and all such things. Of course sensible peo ple don’t want it removed to some cross road stand or old dilapidated village. Atlanta is easy of access and is the Me tropolis and pride of the State. With her enterprise, liberality and splendid hotel accommodations, no place in the State is half as suitable. Jfei)'" It seems to be :i well established fact that the ultra Republicans of the country, under the leadership of the howling Blaine, will make an attack against the continuation of President Ha yes’ peace policy. Already have the daring leaders mapped out their course, ami the war upon the adminis tration will be relentless. Peace would destroy the occupation of the leaders of the bloody-shirt policy; discord and an archy must be re-established at all haz ards. The prosperity and happiness of the people are secondary considerations with these selfish creatures. We may expect lively times, and Hayes will have it in his power to show whether he has the backbone to carry out his policy of peace and brotherly love. When Congress meets, then comes the tug of war. Uneasy is the pillow of a fraudu lent President. Bk#” Following the withdrawal of the troops from Louisiana, comes the grati fying intelligence that Packard has, like Chamberlain, given up the fight, and Niciioll’s has in his possession the State House and all the appurtenances of the State Government. Packard’s valedictory, like that of Chamber lain’s, was full of sophistry, and re flected upon Hayes in unmeasured terms. But Louisiana is free —thanks to a fraudulent President. fiaT Hon. Thomas Chymes, editor of the Toccoa Hamid, authorizes us to say that he is not a candidate for the Constitutional Convention. Shf" The colored men of South Car olina are flocking to the support of the Hampton Government. They are tired of earjict-bag rule, and will, in the future, unite with their Democratic friends to secure recognition of able and conscientious men as their legislators. The people of the South have been so plundered by the Northern scoundrels, that they have determined in future to have their States ruled by their own people. The Kneel of War in thin Country. If cut York Sun. Though our commercial relations with 1 the two belligerents are comparatively in significant, the clash of arms in the East cannot but have an immediate and consid j erablc bearing upon American commerce. Oflate years Russia, and Turkey and her appanages, have furnished England and the Continent —principally England—with an average yearly supply of grain, amount ing in the agregatc to about 45.000,000 ! bushels. This supply will not only be cut off. but the two belligerents, with probably together not less than a million and a half of men in the held to feed, will be con stantly in the market as buyers of grain and provisions. Any grain deficiency in Europe, arising i from war or other causes, must be sub | stantially supplied from the United States. Owing to the perfect system of cheap rail and water transportation from the grain growing districts of the West to the Atlan tic seaboard. American grain has oflate years steadily crowded Russian cereals from British markets. In the present in stance no other grain-growing country can successfully compete with us in supplying an extraordinary demand for breadstuffs for military consumption. This enlarged export of grain and provisions promises more money to our agricultural classes, increased activity to railroad business, and a probable revival to some other branches of industry. The sending abroad of dressed meat and live stock, which has grown so rapidly du ring the last eighteen months, will he in creased by the Itussian-Turkish war. As vet there is no demand for American fresh J beef upon the Continent, but it is under stood that several speculations are now abroad with the intention of introducing it ; and we have heard that the German steamers will soon be fitted up with refri gerators for the export of fresh beef, the same as the English steamers now are. The exportation of beef first commenced in October. 1875. with a shipment of 36,000 pounds from this port, which had increased to 6.262.355 pounds (valued at 8517.702 in March last. The consumption of Ameri can beef in England has surprised the most sanguine shippers on this side. Within the last forty-eight hours the largest shipper of fresh beef in this town lias received a telegram from a well-known and responsi ble English house offering to take all his shipments at sixpencec jier pound (a little over twelve cents laid down in Liverpool. War and war rumors have increased Eng land’s needs in this direction. The expor tation of fresh meat from this country is likely soon to become a great feature of our international trade. But while war will probably increase our sales for food products, it will to very near ly the same extent check the consumption of cotton, petroleum, and other raw mate rials. for which Europe looks chiefly to us. At the same time the existing prostration of trade abroad must be greatly augment ed by the closing of European markets, and large lines of certain descriptions of manufactured goods must be shipped to this country and sold for the most they will bring. American markets will be come outlets for whatever is suitable in the great centres of European trade. The Russian Army. A dispatch from Vienna says: The Press publishes a letter from Jassy giving a detailed ordre de bataille of the mobilized portion of the Russian army both in Eu rope and the Caucasus. It says: Concen tration and organization is so far ready that the forces may take the field at any moment. The south army comprises an active operating army of four corps d'armee, having an effective strength of 144.000 men. 32.800 horses and 432 field guns; the coast armv with 72.000 men. 10,400 horses and 216 guns, and the corps d'armee in the Caucasus, reckoned at an effective strength of 120.000 men, 25,000 horses and 352 guns. This fully corresponds to the war effective as systematized by the or ganization 0f1874. State Mews. Mrs. Nancy Williamson fell dead in the streets of Jefferson last Wednesday. Every Georgian will rejoice to learn that Mr, Stephens is able to ride around Wash ington. An old negro woman, aged seventy, and her grandson, aged eleven, were found dead in the woods near Maxley's during the cold snap of last week. Mrs. It. G. Carlton, a noble Georgia woman, died at Union Point last Saturday night. She was a mother in our Isreal. and leaves many friends to deplore her loss. The following remedy for hog cholera has been used by au East Tennessee stock raiser with the.best results : J teaspoonful spirits turpentine. 1 or 2 teaspoonful para goric, 1 teaspoonful spirits camphor, (of good alcohol.) 2 tablespoonsful whiskey. One dose will usually cure : if not, repeat. Sanford Gorham, of Marietta, who lias a cow that gives six gallons of milk a day, may consider himself and cow completely prostrated beneath the cooling umbrageous foliage of Spring—or. in other words “ laid in the shade,” by a calf that the I.uinpkin Ida.) Independent has trotted to the front. Here is what the Independent says : ** We 1 heard yesterday of a calf that is certainly great curiosity, it is of the A yshire breed and is owned by (.’apt. Brit Davis, near ! Green Hill. At six months of age the i calf,s udder became so large that it was milked and a half a gallon of milk obtained at the first The calf is not yet a I year old* is not weaned and is milked reg ularly twice a day. The milk is used fret ly by the freemen on the place, who pro nounce it very palatable. Bur informant states that Captain Davis proposes to test the milk shortly in order to ascertain if it will make butter. We deem this the most remarkable freak of nature of the kind that has ever happened in the Slate of Georgia. If there ever was a similar case, we would like to hear of it. The grand argument for Convention was struck by Boh Toombs at a speech deliv ered last week in Sparta, in which he said, after noticing the force and fraud which made the present constitution : •‘The main reason for a convention is to make a ” bur glar-proof” Constitution —one that will ef fectually prevent, for all the future, any more raids like Bullock and crew made. The first and greatest objection to our pres ent constitution is that it is the result of force and fraud, and was not made bv our people, thus destroying the foundation principles of self-government and civil lib crt3 r . Only fools and bad men oppose the convention; the first because they lack wisdom to understand the situation, and the latter because they want the door left open to steal the State's money.” lion. 11. P. Bell, Congressman elect in the ninth district, says that a Southern Democrat can never endorse a usurper of the Presidency nor accept office under him. The argument of Hon. B. 11. Ilill, in the Kberliart murder case, at the Oglethorpe Superior Court last week, is said to have been one of the ablest efforts of his life. lion. George T. Marshall, a member of the Legislature from Terrell County, is dead. lie was buried in Dawson, and the obsequies were of the most inposing char acter. Miss Ethel Hatton, of Augusta, the charming young poetess and scholar, car ries off the class valedictory among the Seniors of theJ.ucy Cobb Institute at Athens. James Redpath, the snagle-toothed spy who was sent south by Greedy just before the war to work out a line of march for John Brown’s incendiaries is still keeping himself before the public. In the South he was a peddler, sprinter and editor, and marched through the country single file— too mercenary to be honest, and too con servative to be brave. His latest attack is on Hayes, in which he charges that the Hon. Alexander 11. Stephens controls the government. We might gain some conso lation for this fact, if Hayes is to be be lieved.

DERANGEMENTS OF LIVER, AND BOWELS. A MATCHLESS FAMILY MEDICINE com pounded from vegetable ingredients which are re garded as standard remedies of the Materia? Mediea actual experience confirm and has established this compound as far superior to others claiming like character. SIMMONS HEPATIC COMPOUND lias nothing in its composition that can possibly in jure the most delicate. Its taste is not unpleasant, does not nauseate or gripe, and yet it acts on the Liver and Bowels just as effectually as Calomel or any of the preparations of mercury, without injuring the constitution or debilitating the system. Many people suffer with Torpid Liver and Constipated Bowels and require something to stimulate these or gans. From some peculiarity of constitution, they cannot take calomel or blue mass. To such Simmon's Hepatic Compound will be invaluable. It does not produce large watery actions that weaken and de press, hut acts mildly, producing no depression. It simply stimulates nature to act.
