Shad *re beirg or light in the Oconee river. „ rpujvnui mourns orer the scarcity of brick. Fightt t*cc*ani> ‘one of guano hare been told in Georgia thi« year. The Ordinary of W bi'e county will not lasne any more I'qnor license*. V Anerr cuntt claim* to hare* genuine second edition of Rlind Tom. Ppfkr and Felton both attend the Demo cratlc caucuses at Washington. The Cnnfpdhrnte Monument at Thoinas tille will soon be put in posh ion. Female tramps are x'udving the geogra phy of our State from observation. A cclorfd rfffgioo* revival, begun in Georgetown in 1865. is Mill going on. The H nosville Gazette says scon hed corn given freely to hogs will cure the cholera. J. C. Porch, the new Secretary of the Senate, is a vast improvement on his prede cessor. A new mail-ron'e has been established between Howard and Piattsburg, in Talbot county. The peaceable demzens of Montezuma have given up carda and taken to shooting marbles. Thomas Jfffkrhon's old home—“Monti -o*llo’’—was sold at auction recently for SIO,OOO. Hoy. Pun. Cock has secured a mail route between Kastman, Dodge county, and Abbe ville, \\ iieox county. And now inspired by ths feats of others, the young men of Macon are forming shoot ing and walking clubs. Gorman, the decapitated Secretary of the Hena’e, will now have ample time to organ ize his plans for the campaign of 1880. Cutting and shooting female bovines by auonyinons individuals ia what is bothering the good people ol Columbus at present. Many perrons who in former times emt giated to Texas, are coining back to Geor gia. declaring “there’s no place like home.” Thk premium list of the Georgia State Fair has been completed, and will he pub lished shortly. It is said t© be very liberal. It i* stated that Cox, tbe murderer of Alston, will not be able to stand his trial at the approaching tvrtn of Fulton Superior Court. CruNOKt.LOR Meu states that he will give free tuition in the State Univeriity to os many young men as Geotgia has Senators and Representatives It is said there are ever thirty thousand women iii Georgia who have no husbands, and y,*t there are men in the State who speak of going to Utah and joining tbe Mormons! Just think of it 1 Vandkebiut. on his way to Florida re eeptly, insisted that hi* colored servants should have seats at the table of a hotel in Kastman. He was refused, whereupon he left tbe house in high dudgeon. A Decided Preference —The fditor of the Berrien County Netri puts himself on record in this scholarly manner : We are strongly in favor of the enforcing •f every law having for its object the pro tection of the lives of our people and the suppression of vieleuee of all kinds, but it seems to us that any knife latge enough to inflict a deadly wound, or any weapon ol whatsoever kind calculated to take human life, should come UHder the head af "con cealed weapons ” If we had our choice, we would infinitely prefer to be “took off” by the pistol than by the horn-handle barlow. Our pre erence ia for neither the jocular “pistscl” or the playful “born handle bar low." Such instruments possess no charms to us. We really have no choice, if we mast be “took off,” For Governor —An exchange h«*. after much research, collected the following dis t'oguishfd and patriotic citizens who are willing to serra the State in the position now held by Gorernor Colquitt : Dr. W H. Felton Hon. A. T. Mclntyre, I). A. Vason, Gen. Wofford, A R. Lawton, * ten. Toombs, R. K loester, Gen. Gartrell, A R Wright, A. O. Bacon, Col. Tom Hardeman. Judge Augustus Ree.-e, Judge iJirani Warner, lion. James H. Biount, and many others. Some of them are really good men, but they will have to “tarry in Jericho” a while hnger before they can hope to win the glit tering prize. Tioie enough, however, to settle all that. Sbkatcr Norwood —This gentleman, who was not bis own successor in the Senate, is. m counsel of the Southern Pac 6c Railroad ■raking a big fight with Tom Scott, of the Texas Pacific This accounts for the nu roeroos speeches the ex-Seoator has been ipakthg in favor of the road aforesaid. A Democratic Senate. For some time past the columns of Thk Weekly* have not contained any very *on siderable amount of political matter. In deed. we opine a large prapnrtion of our readers prefer, in these “piping times of peace.” n* w* of a more general character. To tell the trnth. political topics are now of but little interest. The elections are over Candidates have gone to their “respective places of abode’’—the Victorians, to enter nron their official dnties—the defeated, to mourn over their misfortune and to hope for better lock next time. The country is at peace, and tic prospect of good crops (slight as it is just now,) makes everybody feel in good tumor. Under Democratic ra'e the country is gradually coming back to the lime when every man felt proud to call him self an American Georgia shares largely in this happy state of things. Put the largest source of pride arises from the fart that once arain—after eighteen years of Radical desecration and mis l ol**— the United States Sei ate is Democratic. This of itself i« altnrW sufficient to make ns exclaim—‘ Now, Lord, let thy servant depart in peace, for mine eyes have behi-M the sal vation of my country.” We sav almost ; and yet not altogether, for the goad old patriarch who nttored thia declaration was much better prepared to “depart” than the writer can ever hope to be. Still, it is a Cause of joy that the real friends of consti tutional liberty have once more in their hands the control of public affairs, even though the duties of Thief Magistrate are performed hv a man whom oo right-think ing person believes was eleoted. 11 is place too will in time be filled by a Democrat, and then will the republic enter upon a new lease of existence. The Senate, in its new character us to poli'ics, has changed for the better in its personnel, so thr.t it will now compare more favorably with what it was in former years. Troe. and alss, ’tis true, il has no Clay, no Webater, no Calhoun. It will never have anothrr Cuss nor Wright, nor Davis; but then ir has Gordon and Hamp'on, Thurman and Bayard. Hill and Votltees, and others ’ whose names are a tower of strength. These all possess the confidence and respect ol the people at large, and against whom the puny slmlts of envious political rivals are hurled in vain The good time has been slow in comine, but it is come Ht last, and a* a sequence Republicanism must step down and out. A Lamentatlnn. The New York Tribune beholds a speedy overthrow of the Government in the pres ence of so many ex-Confederates in Con gr*sp. Pa calm, Mr. Tribune; your party hud eighteen years of power A change ha* now come, and instead of revolutionary excitements there will roine confidence and peac . Read what the “young editor in the tall tower” is frighten'd into saying : To-day a solid South actually controls both Houses of Congress. Confederate Generals swarm in both chambers Four Generals of the Union Army in the Senate represent the rrughty po-ver which overthrew the rebellion ; twenty Confederate Generals in the same chamber repre-ent the rebellion once defeated A stranger entering that chamber would be cornpel'ed to doubt whether Appomattox witnessed :» victory or a defeat of the Union eum*e. Officials of tbe Senate and the House have been chosen for their services to the teheilion. Northern men, when cho en at all, have been chosen for their traitorous symtathy with rebellion. To-day th** rebellion, revived and rehabilita ted, is encamped in both Hoaxes of Congress The sec'ianal spirit of the Booth was never more aggressive Because the North resists, there is a radical, irrepre-sihle c nflict. It was ho|>ed that the deleat of armed rebellion bad put an end to that confli t But it has come again and is here as distinct and as dangerous to tbe Republic as ever. Governor II AMrTON.— Good authority states that in a very lew weeks Governor Hampton will huve regained perfect health. This is good news to his many friends here in Geotgia. They desire to see him in the S nate, side by side with Gordon, Bayard, Thurman and other*, defending the country’s rights. Ilia presence there will be an assur. ance that the Sou'll will have one more de fender to meet the* foes of his section. Flcmk Raised Meat. — It look* enennr aging to see an occasional curt load of hue country hams tome into town lor sale. Mrs. J W. Wimberly, ol Henderson, sent in a fine lot day before ves'erdiy.tind tiiev seem to Bod ready sale at ten cents a found. — Perry Journal. It is indeed tneonraging, at.d about time the practice had become more general for our farmers to raise their own bacou, instead of employing persons in the West to do it. PROM OUR CORRESPONDENTS. Our Perksville Letter. J/r. Editor: — As I have nothing to write, I will make it short metre. I am of the opinion that farmers have made better progress up to the present time than they have for years previous. They are utilizing every inch of land, rakiag out fence corners that have been growing up for years, ami doing tverythitig they can to stop the leaks ’.hat go cot front the farm, anti make atl that come in as large a a possible. Grain crops are very promising, indeed. Uncle Buck Wynn, J. M. Finley and Tucker Childs have the finest wheat in this neighborhood.

In fact Mr. Bditor, we are all good farm er* down this way. A. B. C. April Ist. 1879 Our Stockbridge Letter.

If laimers would generally adopt “the good ideas” times would be better ; but. so long as we pay such prices per acre for fei tihzing purpoats, just to pay expenses, we will have the following market prices to pay for pro visions and oilier articles we must have: (Join, ptr bo-bt l. $1 ; meat, clear rib sirfes, 8 t« 10; shoulders. 8)* ; sugar, per pound, 12 to 15 ; syrup per gallon. 65 t« 75 ; mo lasses. per gallon, 40 to 63; coffee, per pound 25 ; and Irani 28 to 50 per cent, on everything else we buy “on time,'’ and pay for it in cotton at 5 and 8 c uts It is not only the high prices for manuring, but the heavy per cent, piid tor supplies, which, when put together, keeps a majority ol the farmers one and two years behind.
