That the sense of the situation has not yet penetrated their wnderstandings is shown by their attiwnpt to dictate to the majority what shall acd what Southern Success. “Ti e developin'nt of the cotton manufac ture at the Booth is one of the most encour aging signs of the times. One cotton mill at Columbus. Ga.. which now employs 1,600 hands und nses 260 bales of cotton every wo> k. shows a surplus on its business of 81 581 000. its expenditure for wages alone amounting to $400,000 per anrnm Several cotton laetorio*-aie to be creeled at Mobile, in Alabama, and the advantages afforded by the South for this particular brunch of in • dustry will, no donbt, result in its establish ment at many other points. These advan tages con-l<t in the ( acts that eotton is two cert g per pound cheaper than at Northern factories; tlmt production is also cheaper to the extent of the saving on the transpor imion ol raw material, and that cotton goodg can be rhipped just us conveniently fioin contiguous Southern ports as from those at the North."— Northern Exchange The item to which we here give promi nrnce is Irom a journal that does not believe much ‘good can some out of Nnzireth.” And yet it is sometimes foreed to be candid, and state the ease truly. The people at the Noith. however, have but a foible insight into tLegrnwiig capacity of this section Whut is doing in Columbus will in ‘he course of a few years be accomplished else where, until not even the much vaunted looms of Europe will give stronger evidences of prosperity. Columbus is favored with almost illimitable wnter-powpr ; and yet there are other mills and other rivers, and other capitalists, and men of energy, that will develop means hitherto unthought of. Nor is this ull. The advantages at com mand will inure to Southern success, and success at one point will give renewed life und vigor in another. This is indicated in the above. Alabamians have long beheld the grand success of the Co'umbns factories. They have seen that, instead ol being allowed to waste, the immense volume of water in the Chattahoochee has been utii'zed in rnn ning mills. These mills not only give’em ployment to hundreds, of worthy people, but they cheapen clothing, and thereby confer upon a large portion of the public a real and a lasting benefit. And yft more. It is evidence that the South before a great while will take a long strido in the right direction. If cloth can be made hete, why not oilier things as well ? 100 long have our people been ‘-howeTs of wood and drawers of water,” and never has this humiliating truth been more keenly felt than now. This feeling, more than any other one thing, serves as an incentive to energetic action—to the investing of every surplus dollar in some remunerative enter prise—to a vigorous prosecution of enter prises already begun, and the establishment of real independence of outside assistance Some time will elapse ere the year of jubilee comes, but it will come as certain as fate. Our sunny land, hlegsed by heaven with all the advantages a people could de sire, wld yet be fully supplied with the ineaus of niakiug us great and prosperous. It will not only regain its old-time splendor, but will shine forth with udded glory and power. And to mole it be. Concealed Weapons. We incidentally noticed on our local pngo last week the determination of Judge Bpeer to aboli-h the bud pructice of carrying con cealed weapons. The subject is again re ferred to in order to hold up the warning to all persons guilty of the offense. The carry ing of a pistol, dirk, or other murderous weapon, is fraught with evil and evil only. It is the resort of the coward, the excuse of the assassin and the snbttrfuge of the rob ber. It is the source of nntold mischief, supplemented by misery and woe te many. It fills jails, entails a vast expense upon the State, and jeopardizes human life. Judge Speer should he aided by the whole jvipple in bis praiseworthy determination. He fas set himself an herculean task, but l) v ' il lh* - man to accomplish what he under takes; 11 fa docs succeed in this it will be a niom;m«.ot to h e conrnge, and will entitle him to the gratitude P* every friend of law and order. It is fo bebopeu that the other Judges will co-operate with Judg*** Speer in this most commendable work, slid not cease Until the pistol business is broken up en tirely. Sa*s the Charlotte (X. C) Observer: When society frowns with the proper sever ity upon tbe cowardly bully who goes to and fio in the earth cootinually peeking brawls, with a rrvolver strapped around hie waist, and when human life begins to com mand a higher price iu tbe Courts than it does now—that is to say when murder be gins to be paid (or by the life of the mur derer— then will the carrying of weapons stop, and stop more summarily than it will in tbe meantime. Wbat this country needs is not so ranch ihe taking away of pistols from its citizens ns the sure and speedy pun ishment of the-c ci'izens for any improper use made of them. Littt.k —The refusal of tbe United States Treasurer to pay the $72,000 due Georgia is in keeping with the usages of his party, Tbe bill granting tbe payment has been through Congress and signed by the Presi dent, and yet Sherman refuses to pay the amount, on tbe gronnd that Georgia is due tbe Government for back taxes. It is to be hoped that a Democratic Congress will see that its mandate* are Obeyed, and that the amount due is promptly turned over to ’_H_. *' " . _ Rkerf, oh Fki.ton.—Mr. A. W Reese the Washington fen respondent of the M-eon telegraph, thus speuks of Dr FeitonV recent letter: ‘The late let'pr of the late W. H Felton, which somehody has sent me a« printed in the Cartersville Express. deserves some no tiee at mv hands, which I proceed, here anO now. to give. In tliat letter it is charged that ‘a grand consultation wns he'd in , Washington to conclude the attack on mv wife, commenced in the Macon Telegraph and Messenger some weeks ago.’ 8o- far as that statement concerns, or involves, or is intended to involve me, it is a lie, Tbe charge that I amain ‘humble,’ ‘pliant’ tool of Gen Gordon, or any other man. is also ■ lie, eminently wnrthv Hie man. who, from [ the shelter of the pulpit, assails all who dare ; question his political orthodoxy, or expose lis political Lesson It shames me to think that Georgia should bo held responsible to the country for a representative in the national councils so meanly malignant and unscrupulous ; a servant of the Master so utterly regardless of his example and teach ings ; and a fnan st» entirely Inst to all the instincts and inspirations ol o fair and manly foe. But, sav what he will, he cannot escape the od urn of a political alliance with the enemies of h'* race and country for personal advantage, nor make his countrymen forget i hat to triumph over them he bear .ugh t and was eager to accept uid from the infamous liidicul party.” Statistical. — Hi re is a fearful array ol facts condensed into a small compass. Read and reflect : ‘•There are in the United States, 146 000 saloons, 128 000 schools, 54,000 churches, 500.000 manufacturers and sellers of liquor; •ne-twelfih that number of preachers and one-fourth 'he number of teachers, and be ing more than twice the number of lawyers, dociois and preachers. 1 hese liquor deal ers have 5.000 000 daily customers, or one hall the entire population. One hundred thousand are annually tried for crimes coin mitted under the influence of liquor." And yet men cun be found who declare that there is no harm in drinking intoxi cating I quors. A traveler in Kansas thns writes of the Indians *hi,h are to be found in that re gion : “I should hate to leave the loveliest post in America logo down wlere the In dians abide in all their natural, rugged, un spoiled beauty. It is a very difficult thing to spoil the beauty of an Indian. The smuil-pox can’t do it. It i&ther improves them to be run over by a freight train. They look better natured and kinder alter they are struck by lightning. It snhdues the grotesque ferocity of their expression to boil them in oil. I don’t really know how you would go to work to spoil the beauty of a live Indian.” The Baltimore Gazette thinks r proper sentiment wns developed in the caucus of the House Democrats. Mr. Stephens, of Geor gia, advanced the theory that the country was suffering excruciatingly and was in need o? ?ome legislative einolienta. but the ma jority of the participants in the caucus seemed to hold to the idea that the business before this session wns tbe pa.ssnge of the Appreciation hills and the repeal of the political measures already agreed open. Tornado.—A fearful tornado passed over Millidgeville on Saturday last, destructive alike to life and property—several persons being killed und the Oconee bridge entirely destroyed. It was indeed a terrible blow, and one fr«m which the ‘ old Capitol’' will not soon recover. The damage to property is estimated at 880.000. Gown Rack to Farms— Just after the war, when inflated prices painted pictures of fortnnes in all kinds of city and town voca tions—when banking, insurance and the agency business were supposed to yield wealth nlmost without limit, and when it was believed that fortunes could be made by merely organizing some sort of stock com pany, and putting the shnres on the market, there was a general Hocking of yoohg men from farms to cities and towns to get rich without labor. But that delusion bus ended in bitterness and disappointment to thou sands all over the land, and proved that the game of living by the wits is one that very few can thrive at. We are beginning to realize that farming possesses ow pre emi nent merit—it will yield a living, if nothing more, and that is more than can be said of iTtany city pursuits. It is generally esteemed a piSdding, nnromantic business ; but this is by its exemption from tbe harass ment* *nd tragic featuns that too often mark the Gainful and exhausting struggle for tbe maintenance of credit and social poeitioo | in city life. It requires but a small capital ; to go to farming. This offers a simple solu tion to the livelihood pi oblem to all who are willing to work, and it is N ratifying to find that the fact is beginning to ts.' realized by many weary of prolonged idleness *u cities. St. Louis Republican. A Moav Convkndar .e Act. — Here is a sweet morsel for the consideration of Messrs. Blaiue, Ingersoll. et. al , of the Radical ranks which they can reflect upon : Jas. Kllis, a colored blacksmith in Anvericns, who. by ndostry and economy, has acquired a com petency and quite a lucrative trade ia bis profession, on learning that his old mistress, Viginia Ann Wisham, was in very reduced circumstances—without even a shelter— went before Justice J. B. Pilsbnry and J. H Allen, Clerk of tbe Superior Court, sad made her a deed to a small place in Macon county, thus giving her a home in her old age without lee or reward. Surely such good deeds as the*e are recorded above, and will there entitle the donor to a home in that “home of many mmsions.” Jim Ellis is a hard working, honest man, and though his skin is a little dark, his heart is all right.

S'octim, one of the most di‘- tim/nMicd brgarlp. division, corps artd grand division commanders of iHp war, recently delivered a lecture id Brooklyn on agents of the great struggle, during the coarse of which he expressed the opinion, always held hv the Union, that Mrs .Surratt was a murdered woman He sai l : “I am going to speak to yon one woid about the ixeention of Mis.

I cool I stand here to-night, and rela'e to you fitly incidents that would stive to caution everybody against taking evidence against o'liers when the people Were all in a state of intense exciitment. There never was a day, there never was an hour, that I did not believe that Mrs. Sirratt, was as ii noeen* n woman as there is in this hall. ; [Applause] Hhe was the keeper of a ! boarding house in V. ashington. She boaid |ed Wilkes Booth and half a dfz n other Rebel sympathizers, and she had a ion John If. Surratt. Wilkes Booth was guilty [of shooting Vr, Lincoln, and this poor woman was brought to trial in connection with W ilkes Boitfli, and through the ex ci'rmerit of the times her neck was brought to the lial’er. Her daughter, a young girl eighteen or nineteen years of age, on the morning of the execution went to the Presi dent's room and Pegged permission to say a few words to him on behalf of her mo her, ai d u Uuited States Senator from our own State, who ac'ed as door Tender, repulsed her. saying : ‘No, no ; you cunnot go in.’ Worse than that, meaner than that, the poor girl three or lour years afterward, married a clerk in the Treasury Department. No charges were made against him, hut because tins cleik hail married tbe daughter of Mrs. j Surrott he was discharged. Let us hiag of I our i chit vements, but at the same time let | us learn to look our faults and errors fairly and equurely in the face aod acknowledge them when we have cause to.” The mu d*r of Mrs. Snrratt was the most cruel and cowardly act ever committed in any civilized country. I; is a curious and | suggestive fact that all who were chi'fly responsible for the execut on of that innocent woman have lelt the unseen hand of the Great Avenger. Stanton, S eretary ot War, who was perhaps the worst of tbe number, committed suicide in a fit of re motse, although the fact was sought to be concealed. Pre-ton King, tbe Senator from New oik who repulsed Annie Surratt at the President's door, in like manner ended his own life by deliberately jumping fiom a f 1 rry bout into the Norih titer at New York and drowning himself. Andrew Johnson, who signed the death warrant and despotioally suspended the writ of habeas corpus that had been granted by the court, wus st< ieken suddenly with death upon hi* return to the Senate alter he hid lelt the Pre idency Judge Advocate Holt, who conducted the prosecu ion, long ago disappeared from public view, and whether dead or alive, nobody knows and nobody cares. And John A. Bingham, who assisted Holt, was driven from Congress in disgrace as.one ol the Credit Mobilier bribe-takers, and sought reluge in Japan, where, we be lieve, he now is.— Rochester (A'. Y ) Union. Montenegro's Good Fortune. Simultaneously with the signing of the definitive treaty of peace between Russia and Turkey, peace has been concluded between Turkey and Montenegro, out of whose bick erings grew one of the leading causes of the war. 'I he plucky little Principality lias not gained all til t it deserves, lor Oat taro, its natural seaport, still remains attached to Austria ; but it has gained a good ileal more than the most enthus a-t c of its friends were sanguine enough to ho;*- for even so recently as a year ago Lacking Oattaro, it has at least sceuied Antivari und so obtained u port of its own ; and it lias obtained, fur ther, the inland town ol Podgoriizu, valuable as being the commercial eemre of a com paratively large tract of liifl country When it is remembered that Montenegro went into the war with only a single town to her name —her little capital city ol Cettinje—i«d so circumscribed by hostile Pow. rs as to be completely cut off from nntaxed communi cation with the world at large; and when it is perceived that as the result of the war shi has gained two towns,each of which is iargei than her little capital, and one of which is-a seaport, it is very obvious that her victories, in proportion to her strength, have been uotiiing short of transcendent. While the Turks will grit their tee'b over the good foriune that ha-* come to Montene gro, ihi? good fortune will be observed with general satisfaction throughput Chrisbr.dom, for never was good fortune so richly deserv ed, It is tbe result of honest effoit and ol the most persistent und most gallant fighting. The struggle between the Montenegrins and their Turkish masters has been going on ever since the Turks entered Europe. In every generation, for more than 400 years, this brave race b is protested consiaotly and I vigorously against the Ottoman usuiping domination, live Montenegrins have been , slaughtered in battle time and again ; their hills have been overrun by Tuikish soldtcrs; their dwellings have been burned und their wives and children have been carried away into captivity. By fire, and sword, and rapine, tbeir country has been laid desolate end almost depopulated This has happened, not once, but many times. And yet they fave never flinched from the position tuken when first the infidel invader endeavored to subjugate them in common witb the races by whom they were surrounded They were determined to remain unconq lered, and in spite of the relatively vast armies sent against them—as tbe army of 84 OUO men dispatched hy the Porte in tbe year 1853 and beaten back with great loss—uocon quered they have remained to this day.— Philadelphia Times. The Greenback Element. — Ihe fact that the greenback eleesm iu the House evinces a strong disposition to connect with tbe Re publicans. s.iys the Baltimore Sun, is regard ed with much satisfaction bv tbe shrewd Democratic leaders. Ihe majority, if not all of the Greenback members owe their election to Democratic votes, and it is argued lhat when the Democratic m isses see that they have been tbe means of electirg Re publicans in disguise, they will not be so likely hereafter to desert their own party standard. Mr. De la Matyr, the Indiana Greenback member. who i* generally recog n zed as'he leader of. that el m*n* in tie House, is very sure, it is thought, to act wi’h the Republicans In his district in 1876 the Ureenbackers polled on Iv 1 464 votes, while the Democrats polled 17,932 Yet in 1878 the Democrat* iodoiped his nomina tion, and o( course elected him. The Demo crats of the West will find 'hat t-hey have nothing to make by such coalitions as thi-, and it may have the iffet 10 help induce them to return to the time-hono ed Detn - cratrc hard-money principles.
