11 mu bugs.
There appears to lie a movement on o
small *cale, inaugurated by two or three
member* of the Hftata press, looking to the
exposition and suppression of humbugs. It
ii certainly a stupendous undertaking, the
(access of which is just now problematical.
Humbugs are numerous. There art runout
kinds—rery many kinds. They are gotten
op to order, withont regard to expense.
Heme aie comniOD snares, sad don't catch
anybody, while others big Irombug*.
Boch as these are to bedretded. They defy
opposition, and kick obstacles out pf the
way with the greatest of ease.
Tna Wbeki.t is opposed to humbugs, and
would not knowingly gire them the least
encouragement, even in the shapo of paid
advertisements ; but we have not the time
nor the facilities for ascertaining how adver
tisers from a distance stand, as regards re
spectability, and tLerefors cannot bo respon
sible for such advertisement* as may appear
iu these columns from time to time.
Bad.— Here is an item from the Greens
boro Herald:
Some of onr citizens were itartled on
Saturday night by the brilliant gyration* of
a meteor, which terminated its gkvrncketing
by shelling mother earth. Query—l)o
celestial bodk's carry concealed weapons ?
Now, if some ore would send this item to
Frye, or Garfield, or Chandler, wbat an ex
cuse it would give them to loose their vials
of vitriol against (be South, swearing the
aforesaid “brilliant gyrations of a meteor"
was in reality a bombardment of some Fed
eral out-poet by a squad of "Confederate
Brigadiers.” We warn the editor of the
New Tork Ciritttan Advocate.
“Hrr him Again !"—"Our Ben’’ ia a tower
•f strength, but sometimes be catches a side
winder unexpectedly, as this for instance,
from the Saodersville Courier:
‘Onr Ben” rather got away with the Sen
ator from Maine, oo the Potter and Teller
Committee question. O. well, this will be
nil right the i ext time Beo dines and smiles
with Jim. As death is swallowed up in
victory, so ate political animosities sod brick
labor.
Harsh and Untrue.
It i* more in sorrow than in anger that
wt publish the fallowing extracts, taken
from a receat number of the N«w York
Christian Advocate:
18G1—18791—Thi* week the Legislative
department of the United State* falls into
the hund* of the men who ruled fn 1861.
They have the *nme spirit that actuated them
when they went out. The field was the
weak place in '6l ; therefore, they stioek
with the swerd The treasury is the weak
place now ; therefore, we may expect the
blow there.
Having lived to hear eulogies prnnonneed
in the United States Senate on Jell Davis,
the author of the starvation policy of Ao
der«onvil!e, and the great repudiater of
earlier days, we are prepared to see him
poshed for any post. We feel that the
Democrats of the North will be helpless now
a* they were before.
Every intelligent observer of current
event* knows full well that a large majority
ef the Southern people accepted the re
sults of the war a* a finality. The principle
for which they contended during that san
guinary struggle still lives; but the South
ern seet ion wifi no more endeavor to rouse
it to life end activity. Here, however, i*
one who, though he knows better, it fright
cued into writing what he may well be
ashamed of—if he can possibly be suscepti
ble of such a feeling.
The Advocate professes to te*eh the doc
trine—and a glorious one it is—sf ‘'Peace
on earth, good will to man." This, we say,
i* its avowed mission, and jet. in this one
instance at lea»t, it belches forth its ha’c in
a manner as thoroughly unchristian as could
well be imagined, and makes it* statements
all the more malignant by garnishing them
with falsehood* of the darkest character.
Again, the editor says 'he has lived to
h»ar eulogies prononneed on Jeff Davi*.’’
Lnaar’a and Hill’s speeches wera a sufficient
reply to this; and this kind-hearted (?)
Christian editor, if he possesse* the sensibili
ties of an ordinary mortal, must feel rebuked.
Slip, blindfy pursuing thu wrong, be exhume*
from the tombs of the past falsehood* long
since exploded, and beholds Andrrsoirvillc in
all it# traditional horror He writes as if bfe
himself Was a participant in that “starvation
policy” to which h* so feelingly allude*,
trembling the while with a nameless terror.
But we beg to offer him, as a sedative, the
assurance that Mr Davis has no desire to
again enter public life. He prefers to re
main in retirement. His health is feeble,
and aside from a patriotic desire to see the
rainbow of peace encircle with ita concentric
ray* onr political arch, he has no other am
bition.
lie boils over ugain in alluding to certain
events which he seem* to be mere familiar
with than anybody else :
The spirit of 1881, revived in 1879. must
be judged by its history. The poisoning of
Harrison and 'Parlor, and the attempted
poisoning of Buchanan, amt the shooting of
l.intoln, the killing nl every President who
was aaiislrd by a Vice- President who could
serve the South better, mikes the election of
a temporary President of the Senate sugges
tive The spirit that murders thousands of
citizens for the control of the South, can
baldly be expected to hesitate nt killing two
more inen for the control ol the nation.
Billions of money with which to pay for the
slaves m ke sufficient motive lor anything.
Hayes and Wheeler will do well to insure
their lives soon.
Surely, the editor of Ike Advocate was la
bordug under a inert hideous nightmare when
be penned this piragrnph. It is certainly
the very spirit of diabolism running rial
with fancy to imagine for a moment that
these startling declarations have the least
foundation in fact. Taylor and Harrison
died from natural enures, and none but those
purblind to truth and intent on propngatiug
falsehood can make such a charge.
But we desist, and in dismissing the sub
ject candor compel* 09 to say that a curb is
placed upon our feelings in its consideration.
To answer a fool according to his folly is too
huge an undertaking for na just now, and
hence we lay our pcucil down and close the
matter.
Good.
In contradistinction fo the conr*e pursued
by some persons, we priot the following It
seem 9 that after all there is an atom of good
feeling in the bosom* of thase who wore the
blue, still living, ai d this invitation to our
beloved Governor is proof of it. He will
bear bimsell right nobly among the people
whom he shall visit, and deepen the respect
mutually engendered :
Governor Colquitt has been selected to
address the sixth annual encampment amt
reunion ol the blue and cray, which will
occur next August at Cambridge, Ohio. It
will be a reunion of the soldiers and sailors
of the nation, and the attendance will be
large. The fact that a Southern Governor
has been chosen to make the address shows
that the association is just what it professes
to be. It ia really a conciliatory movement.
There will be a large attendance, both from
the ranks of tbe blue and 'be gray. Gov
ernor Colquitt has also received invitations
to address important public gatherings in
Indiana and lowa next summer The Gov
ernor does not yet know whether his official
duties will allow Lint to accept these invita
tions.

ATTtcNDrvo Church. According to the
Cb»rew (9. C) Gazette, there i»on the stat
ute book of South Carolina a law imposing
a fine of one dollar for every omission to at
tend church on Sunday. A curious law,
truly, and yet if rigidly enforced could be
made to go far towards liquidating the pub
lic debt af the State. If sach a statute ex
isted in Georgia it could be made service
able in wiping oui sundry and diver* indebt

FROM OUR CORRESPONDENTS.
Our Lovi joy Letter.
Mr. Editor: —l h»ve been a cr.nptnnt
subscriber to your valuable and spicy Httle
paper since its firsi appearance, and having
ne'er seen a communication from our neigh
borhood, will proceed to give you a few dots
at once, hoping they may be appreciated by
a few at least.
W#ll, to begin : the farmers of this sec
tion sre a wide-awake, thorough-going, in
dustrious set of aaen, and esnnot be excelled
by any community for vim and energy.
Several of our farmers make their farms
self-sustaining, but a great many depend ton
much on buying from the West, fat the
Fall of the year, after counting the ca#t of
making a crop of cotton, they all say : “I
intend to plant more corn nett year but
when Spring comps they are generally found
ready to plant nearly all tbeir land in cotton,
and only a faw acres in wheat, and a few
acres of worn-out land in oats, and not half
enough corn to keep man and beast alive
from January until December.
I have no cry to m»ke against the use of
fertiliz-r*. as it is absolutely necessary to
manure, judiciously, everything we plant,
especially our poor uplands in this part of
the country. A great many ore opposed to
the nte of gnino whose lands without ii
would not average a quarter of a bale of
cotton per acre. Now, Mr. Editor, let me
say that if the farmers of Georgia and the
South generally would adept the plan of
planting one-third of their tend able land in
corn, one-third in wheat and oats, and one
third in cotton, well fertilized, we would
soon see a marked change in the condition
of onr country.
Tell your Stockbiidge correspondent he
tnay take down his prophetic Spring sign
now, as we in tit sne ghborhooTl have hail
all our corn killed down even with the
ground. Wheat looks vry promising—in
deed. more promising than usual at this sea
son of the year—and if no di-aster befalls
we shall be all right by the first of June,
when we will bid a long farewell to ash-cake j
and corn dodgers.
Well, Mr. Klitor, you *ny it “would do •
person good to the bottom of his soul to see
Mr. K.' Lovvorn smile while waiting nn a
lady customer.” Well. I know he is good
on an old-fushloued soul stirring smile, but
it would make you feel good to the ends of
your big toes to a e Mr. Clinton grin when
he observes a good paying customer enter
bis and Charlie’s stoie. Messrs. Clinton &
Michain aio doing a fine business at Lovejoy.
and there is still room for several more good
merchants.
lly the way, that was an enjoyable aflair
at the reaidenee of Judge Dorsey last
Wednesday night, in which the yoang pao
ple engaged until the “wee swa’ hours” in
“tripping the light fantastic toe ” Indeed,
all who were so fortunate a? to be present,
and partook of the bountiful supper set by
Mrs Dorsey, will not soon forget it.

Our Sunny Side Letter.
Mr. Editor :—The time has passed when
I promlstd to write, yet I hope the old adage
will answer for an excuse—“ Never too late
to do good ” So here goes:
We are-all pretty blue down this way
just now The damage ta frttif by the late
cold spell is regarded as a strious calamity
by many Corn has been badlv injured also
—so much so that some of my nvighhori are
plowing up and planting over again ; yet it
doesn't seem to set them hck much. The ’
are going ahead with their u=ual vim and
energy Cotton planting is the order of th*
day now, and ihe ground was never in better
condition Wheat lonks finely Oats seem
to bp do : ng well, too—that is. Spring oats!
Fall oats were pretty well killed out by the
hard freezes last winter.
The guano trade is dull, and has been for
some time. 1 don’t think there will be
so much used this year as usual. Cur fat
mers have baoglit sparingly, making up for
it by using home made fertilizers. Several
brands are represented here by diffeient par
ties. The Liebig is represented by Messrs
Ransom it Shtrey ; the Pacific and Acid
Phosphates and Cuiro by Mr. J. I Mickle
berry; Wh'iunV, Mr. W D. Villard;
Ober’s, Baldwin’s and Fmpire by Mr. George
fechtefer, and Zell’s by Mr. W. B. Griffin.
Schsefer has sold about 70 tons; Mickle
berry, 48 tons ; V illard. 30 tons ; Ransom
& Co., 10 tons—in all, about 158 tons. Mr.
Griffin’s arrived too late for much to be sold.
Mr. George Schaefer, I understand, in
tends to put np a brick warehouse at this
place during the coming summer. If so. he
will get a eood share of the cotton front this
part of the country.
I learn that Mr K. G. Harris, of your
town, has purchased the lot occupied until
recently by the steam gin nt this place, to
gether with such machinery as was saved
from the fire, and will erect therpon a good,
substantial house for the pnrpose of tun
ning a steam gin next Fall. We wish him
success.
Major Ramsey continues the mere ut tile
business though he spares enough time
from his business to look over bis |«rm
occasionally. He finished planting c tton
this week, ne made lust year 650 pounds
of lint cotton to the acre, on his entire
crop, and expects to make thi« year two
bales to Ihe acre. Brat this if You can.
We have a fine literary school at this
place now Prof. J. O. A Miller is teneher,
and be seems to take real delight in teach
ing the ‘ young idea how to shoot.”
We also have a fine Sabbath-school.
AII classes have co-aperated, and it makes
the school interesting.

We have several nobby turnouts in this
neighborhood. I believe Willis Kersey has
about the handsomest though, and I should

community that something will come of it
after awhile.

Our Butts County Letter.
Mr. Editor: —As your spicy journal has
many readers in this roomy, and thinking
perhaps a letter might not be wholly unin
teresting, 1 have ventured to send you tbe
following •
The fact that erergy and pluck will sue
ceed is fully exemplified in the growth ard
popularity of your growing little city.
Scarcely five years ago it was entirely un
known. even tn this, an adjoining county, to
say nothing of others more remote, and to
day she is the centre of trade for her own
(Henry,) as well as Butts, and one or two
others, which she bus won by a fair and
honest effort. To yonr merchants and busi
ness men we, the people of Butts, feel duly
thankful for breaking the monopolies and
rings that have been grinding os for tbe lust
quarter of a eentury.
“Old Probfe” certainly has been oo a fear
ful “bender” for the last several days, judg
ing by the weather that he has been dealing
to os. First a young tornado, that entireb
demolished our fencing and sundry old craz
and rickety barns and out ■bouses. Noi
satisfied with this, he blows a cutting bla-A
(tom tbe northwest for foor and twenty boars,
which brings with it ice, that has played sao
havoc with garden “truck,” in tbe full sense
ot the leim—early beans. Irish potatoes, etc ,
being litetally killed, while tbe corn crop is
injnred to an alarm ng extent. Numbers ol
my neighbors to-day (Sunday) expreacd a
determination to plow op atd replant, while
Others hold the id a that it will come on'
and be as thrifty us if it were not touched.
Your correspondent bping a novice at the
business. >s woefully beside himself as to
what action to take in the matter. He,
however, feela that if he had the aforesaid
“Old Probs” near by, a “pummeling” would
be the 6rst order of the day Seriously, I
am tearful that it wi’l be a scrioo"drawback
to the corn crop, and (rent which it will
never folly recover.
One of your correspondents, I see, he*
proposed the name of ft >n John I Hall f'-r
gubernatorial honors. Thi* I assure y- o
meets with the approbation of every hone-t
and law- abiding citizen of this county, who
have known him longeat and best. While
we have rot a word to say ag -inst th“ ud
ministration of the present incumbent we
believe that with the stern -ease of duty, the
inflexible will, the clear jucLment, and turn
conviction of right which has cvpt charac
teriz'd the course nfthis gentleman in the
past, should he be elevated to the Execu
tive Chair, *oold add new la-tre to the es
cutcheon ol our noble old State. We ear
nestly hope that he will be brought forward
at the next election andf that u majority of
the voters of the State will place a man at
the head of the administration who will do
his do'y, regardless of friend or foe
Not»ith-tand ng the bard times, orange
