Al though the Confederate Govern ment was but five years iu ezis- ence it had numerous Cabinets. There were no less than three Sec- rctancs of State, live Secretaries of War, two Secretaries of the Treas- ury, and a third who was acting Secretary, and three Attorney Generals. Of the Secretaries of Statu J ndah P.Benjamin was, of course, the most celebrated. Ho is still living, as is well known, abroad. He has fortune, in the practice of law in London, and a large one it is too. The stories which have reached here of his success in law in tbe greatest city in tho world are some- thing wonderful, and the fortune wbieb he has accumulatrd in the twenty years since the war is a very large one. He hns closed up his law business, however, having mado money enough and news just now comes that he has gone to Paris to live permanently. Bob Toombs, who was another Secretary of State, still lives in Georgia, bis old home, lie is a wealthy old man, still as full of ec centricities as when years ago be announced that he expected to call his roll ot slaves on Bunker Hill. He has retired from the active pur suits of life, having an ample for tune, and, as has recently hern an nounced, been baptized and become a member of tho Methodist Cburob, of which his wife, now deceased, was for years an honored member. His beautiful Southern home is sur rounded by every comfort and lux ury which wealth and a long and varied experience could supply. It. M. T. Hunter, of Virginia, was another Secretary of State of the Confederacy. He too is still living in his ola State, Virginia. His post office address is Lloyds. Essex county, Vo.

If The Secretaries of War have uot escaped tbe scythe of the grim reaper as successfully as have tbr Secretaries of Stato, for all of the latter are still living. Of the See- re tarles of War, however, three out of four are dead. George W. Randolph, of Virginia, who was Secretary ol War In 1862 J A. Sod den, also ot Virginia, who was Sec retary of War in 1862, and J. S. Breckinridge, who succeeded him in 1865, are all deal. L. l’ope Walker, of Alabama, the first Sec retary of War. is still living in his old State. His home is nt Hunts ville, where be practices his profes sion, that of lawyer, very success. fully; Ho has Just come to the surlsce in the trial ol the Jesse James cases in Alabama as a law yer and nn honored citizen. John A. Campbell, who was for a considerable timo Acting Secre tary of War, is now a resident of Baltimore. Mr. Campbell was a Judge in tbe Supreme Court at the breaking out ot tho War, and re signed because of his sympathy with the rebellion and connected himself actively with the cause. He re presented the Confederacy at tbe national conference between 1’rcsi. dent Lincoln and the members of the Confederate Government nt Fortress Monroe during the war, and was active as au ofllcial and an adviser of that government during the entire period of its exislence. Though in his 73d years, he is still an active c|tizen and Highly honor ed. There were but two Secretaries of tbe Treasury, C. G- Memmiuger, of South Carolina, and George A. Trenbolm. Mr. Mctnminger still lives In bis old State, and practices law at bis homo in Charleston. G. A. Trenbolm, who succeeded Memmlngcr In 1864, Is dead. Judge ReBgan was also Acting Secretary of War for a short time. Though tbe Confederacy bad not much of a navy, it had a Navy De partment. S. R. Mallory, of Flor ida, was the Secretary of tbe Navy. He died several years ago. the law department of tbe Con- ffd’eraey.Qfthe Attorney General’s office, had three incumbentr during the existence of that organization: Thomas Bragg, of North Carolina; Thomas II. Watts, of Alabama, and George D. Davie, of North Carolina. Mr. WetUttiU lives lobisold Bute, with bit retidenee et Montgomery, and le a successful sad prominent his old friends who gather about him. no was a great admirer of Gen. Lee, and entertained that gen tleman on his last visit to North Carolina. Tho 1’ost Office Department was presided over by nne mail from the beginning to the end of the Con federacy, John II. Reagan. He retired from Congress at tbe begin ning of the war. having already served two terras in that body, and was oiected with others in the Secession Convention of Texas. By this convention he was elected Deputy to the Provisional Congress of the Confederacy. In March of that year he was appointed Post master General of tho Provisional Government of tho Confederacy and was reappointed on the per manent organization ot tho Con federate Government in 1862, and occupied that position to the close of the war. Of the Confederate Congresr live members are now in the Congress of the United States. Vest, of Missouri, who was a Sena tor in tho Confederacy, is in the United States Senate. Pugh, of Alabama, who was a member of the Confederate House, is now in the Senate. Garland,ol Arkansas, who was a member ot both House and Senate in tbe Confederacy, is now in the Senate, while Singleton and Barksdale, of Mississippi, who were members of tbe Confederate House, are now in the House of tbe Forty-eighth Congress. Do the People Itcad Advertisements. We coincide with the Philadel phia Times in the assertion that tho best proof that properly presented advertisements are read, is tho commanding success of the best business houses that have advertls ed wisely. Tbo Times has been published for nine yesrs, and its advertising patrons ara among the oldest and bcBl business houses of Philadelphia and other cities. It has passed through periods of de- pression and disaster and recorded many failures. But it Is yet to re cord tbe first prominent failure of a liberal and systematic advertiser, who have as a rule, prospered in nearly exact proportion to the measure of their advertising. These facts prove, as the Times alleges, that judicious advertisc- menti sre read hy the people, and that judicious advertising is the certain method of advancing legiti mate business. Houses in tho large cities employ tbe very best talent to write their advertisements—men who understand the fundamental principle of advertising, Articles cannot he sold above their market value by advertising, but they can be sold at Just llic| right time, Just when they should be disposed of, by presenting them in the freshest and most srtistie manner. A correspondent of the Buena Vista Argus says that there are more bid men ranging trom 70 to 100 years old in Marion county than in any other section of Geor gia, great majority of them do their own work, plow daily and while they bear the impress ol age, have the ruddy impress of health so picu- liar to this section. There is Mr. Lancaster anil Mr. John Benson and Mr. I,. Scott who Ims lived in Florida for a while for his health, returned to his home in Marion county, is over 70 years of age, and plows every day. In one house not far from here resides three ladies, representing three genera tions, all three of whom are grand mothers. The grandmother, tbe mother and daughter. Mrs. Butler, the eldest, is 107 or 108. It is a noticeable fact that the Northern Republicans have not elected negroes as delegates. They have thrown them at: occasions! sop in tho way of an alternate’s place. “Secor" Robeson was de feated in New Jersey hy a negro alternate. Tbe negroes must be grateful if they are not allowed to tako seats. The white principals will go. A CARD.

Tbla great remedy waa discovered by a missionary in South America. Send a self-addressed envelope to the Bsv. Joseph T. Ismah, Station D, Sew York City. The Duke of Bueclcugb.whobas just died, bad for sixty-flve years been in possession of no fewer than 470.000 acres of land situated in seven Scotch and five English coun ties, the rent rolls of which amoun ted to |1,200,*00 a year. Dawson , May 7.—Intensi ve farm ing has been practically exemplified here by Cnpt John A. Fulton. He has around his residence in this city eight sores of ground which in past years he has made very remunerative. At one time he hud Ore acres of this land in cultivation, planting cotton seed between ihe rows of wheat. On tho 18th of May ol one year he had ids wheat cut and threshed, and it measured np a little over twenty bushels to the aero. That season Mr. B. II. llood, who bad threshed over four thousand bush els of wheat, said it was the best and heaviest wheat lie bad ever threshed. Tbe cotton did as welt in proportion, for (rom the five acres was realized four and a half bales. This is but a small illustra tion of whst enn bo dono in South west Georgia if proper etforts are. made towards intensive farming. Quite an interesting- religious meeting is going on in the Metho dist chureh here. On last Sunday morning tbe Presiding Elder, Rev. O. G. N. McDonald, of your city, preached a “Missionary’’ sermon from the text “Thy Kingdom Come.’’ His subject was presented in a forcible manner, interlarded with valuable statistics. Ho stated that the membership in the A merl ons dtstriot numbered some 6,000 persons, but only about 15 cents per person has been realized for missionary purposes, and as to preaching places we were very de ficient—“mcro shells of houses compose some of tho churches in the district.” Don’t wo want ac tive missionary workers here at home. The congregation that wait ed' upon this able minister was a large one, and tho singing was ex ceptionally floe. Miss Glatido Far rar, the accomplished organist, in the Servioe of Bong, bad tbe sup port of almost tbu whole congrega tion in the singing. The Dawson College Guards came back from Columbus delight ed with their trip. They made tbe trip part of the way steamboat. At Eufauln they were received by the Eufaula Light Infantry, and tho courtesies of tbo city wore tendered them. In public and in private the “soldier boys” tre loud in tbeir praise or tie hospitality that they received in Columbus. Before thoy lull the boys improvised N. B. Barnes, a gallant conlc-ierato sol dier, to go along with them bb one of their lieutenants. VYe are glad for "that l'ttle vil lage of tho plain," Friendship, in your county. Wo learn that Miss Julia Worthy of that place will share with another young lady tho Aral honor in tbo coming com mencement exercises of the Colum bus Female College. Miss Ols Leonard, daughter ot Hon. L. M. Lennard, of this city, at that time will lie complimented by a readers’ place at tho exercises or the Junior class. Quite a compliment to two of our favorite youug ladies. Some of the freed men hero are making nn industry of tbe “bear grass” which grows spontaneously in our woods. From tbisgrassare made some of the Ducat door and buggy mats we ever saw. They are soft and arc more especially adapted to the purposo for which they are made. YYc like to see this utilizing of little things. Dawson'seducalional school, the Owen Nelson Iuslllutule, is doing a good work for the section. Prof. ‘ J. W. Lowroy is considered ono of the best msthmaticisns and an edu-.. calorof the Drat class, and is doing, noble work for tbe pupils under bis charge. With tbe college and this institute in onr midst, we can lay claim to tbe best educational facilities. Tbe negro who was shot in an altercation a few day* ago by an other negro here died on last Tues day. Tbe murderer is in jail. Tho picnio of tbe Sunday schools in this city on last Friday was a decided success. The orignal Dan Rice, “the clown of our daddies,” will lecture here next Friday night. Last Fridav being “return day" for the Superior court, which con venes here on tbe fourth Monday in tills month, was abnsvday with the clerk and sheriff. Tonr cor- respondent’f pen w»» brought Into requisition on that day <bi-» whole dsv’s work. W. K. r.
