Queer. —Says a correspondent of the Atlanta Constilyjion, relative to Gen. Jo seph E. Johnston: “It is rather a queer thing to contemplate General Joe Johusioo occupying tbe positiou of chairman of the eab-commit toe on military affairs, charged with the reorganization of Ihe United £ut«e army. He will devote the most of his attention lo . the work this sessioq.” } I* would ißdeed be queer w«e a Radical but Randall uoMrstaods tbe Chnstisias is Cumins! flow swiftly the tide of time swreps by. It seems but a little while since Tub Weekly bore its cordial greeting to its readers for Christmas, and yet it is almost here again. But so it is. Tide and time never cease— they wait for no man. It is well. They belong 1o a higher law which man did not make ; they are governed by a power we cannot comprehend. But a tiuoe to sentiment ; we should be cheerful. Merrv times are just before us— almost here. The jolly jingle of the merry Christinas bells are even now beginning to lie heard, and the little one are making huge calculations as to what good old Santa Clans will bring them. The dear old fellow is mixed up in all their ta'k—at I he fireside, on the stieet, everywhere ; and were lie to bring one tithe of the good things wished for, it would inevitably bankrupt hint But he will bring something—a toy for this one, a knife for that one, a present of some sort lor another— and each and all, wo trust, will be cheerfully remembered, so that this day —a day for which so many wish may be one of universal and unalloyed pleasure. There is no need of giving a detailed his tory of Christ uas, or telling the origin of .Santa Claus. The story has been told and retold a thousand times, and to the enrap tured listeners the name of Saida C'laus implies all that is grand and gtoriouH and good. But th is festival is scarcely celebrated now as in the olden time. Then it was consid ered only just and proper to pass the day in such manner as would bring prominently to the ruind the grand event which over eighter n hundred years before had caused the Shipherds of Cualdea to listen in won der and amazement ut the sublime ingtguigc —‘ Glory be to God in the highest ; peace on earth, goodwill toman.” But by de grees this custom passed away, and Young Ainciica came to the front with a “new departure so that for many years it has indeed been a feast of fut things—a high old time—-among the young people of this land. Nor is the fun nil confined to the children not by a good deal. The old people soon catch the fever, find ere the sun sinks behind the hills of the West on Christmas F.ve, old nnd young nre so Inextrieubly conjumilled and mixed up that it is next to impossible to tell “ ’tother from which.” It is well. “Christmas comes lint once a year.” But it comes ; nnd every little boy and every little girl knows precisely the time. No deceiving them—not they. And then when morning dawns, whether it be eloudy or fair, ruin or shine, the eolhu-iasm of the occasion bieuks out in all its untamed exhuberunce, and, regardless of motherly caution, the little ones begin the day. Well, let them have it. Happy time! let them eijoy it. Christmas Day! let crackers pop, pistols fire and sky-rockets go up— they are free! We are all children on this day. The old foiget their age, rheumatism, gout, corns, and other ailments, and of course those who know but little or carping cure aud the many responsibilities resting upon men and women generally, are allowed to go “scot fret” for the nonce. It is a grand time for old aud young generally. And now, as before another issue of Thk Wkski.y 'his unusually happy time will have como and gone, we beg to tender to one and all our friends a right merry Christmas, with the added wish that every ooe may live to epjoy many more such days, aud each with increased pleasure. Booms. This is an age of curirns nomenclatures. It is un age when inventive genius comes to the front ; and iu nothing does this spirit ol invention show itself more plainly than in the coining of words. 1 Boo.n” is now the rage—everything is “boom." There is tße Grant boom ; the Tildon boom ; the Davis, Bayard and Bluine booms; und a§ if to render this booming business superlatively ridiculous, some passionate lover of tun has started the Felton boom. Well, it is entertaining. Anything new becomes for a little while, at lia J t, Interest ing, and we suppose the these words amuse themselves at the idea of sound ing out something nobody had thought of before. Then, too, they credit themselves with a new departure from the old und well beaten paths of those oid fogies who never dreamed of turning to the right or to the left in search of new words, new ideas or new philosophies. They f>el satisfied this new word will serve its purpose. They are happy at the thought that the word “boom” ♦ ill lift their favorite candidate high in popular esteem, and set him down softiy-hi the big arm chuir at the White we opine that their happiness will be prema ture. The boom may be poteul iu one sec tion, and yet have no force in another. It may come ns the winds come when armies are banded, or as the waves come when Davies %re stranded, in one or two States, and yet' not have force enough to make a ripple upon a herring poud it) the remainder of tbe State*. We Wlieve we first noticed the word “booor'wo connection with Gen. Grant. It wws.bronght into use for tbe purpose of rashiug him iuto popular favor It worked when it became public property, and every body began to use it on all occasions, it lost its charm, and became as useless as the fifth wheel to a wagon. There was too much of a boom—two much of a good thing. It spent itself—grew small by degrees nnd beautifully less, (in'il now it seems about to pluy out altogether. Well, let it re kept op by all means. L"t it he spoken overvtime n name is uttered T' Mr. A or Mr. B. is mim'd in cot motion with office, forthwith let the boom resound us thunder from the clouds, or as cannon from the field of war. It is a goal thing; it is u short word ; no trouble to speak it,; no inconvenience in uttering it. Therefore lei it not die out until all those for who-ar benefit il has been used shall have tested its strength. So much for our boom. ITm.l on the Currency Question. —In a rcc'-nt interview with a World reporter, Mr. Mill said : “1 think it exceedingly fortunate that the o'portunity is now presumed to as to end all divisions upon the subject and return to whn* must be confessed try all to he the original, the real and the only true IT mo oniric fai'li on this snhjet 1 have great faith that this will '>e done. Ido not doubt that the Southern Dernoc aey by overwhelm tug mnjo iihs, if not unanimously, will sup port the proposition contained substantially in Mr. Bayard's resolution. The first step is to get rid of the legal tender p:ipT money ; we must get rid of the legal tender feature of paper currency. Of course this does not necessarily mean contraction ; it does not mean contractibn at all, hut If does mean that we should return to honest constitu tional money Every intelligent man must admit that coin is the only const it tv ionul money, and that a paper issue convertible) into coin is the only proper paper currency. Certainlv no Democrat can take ismn with tins plain proposition, for the Democtalic party never held a more d'slinct position than the one I have staled. You may, there fore, rest assured that, as far as rnv humble abilities go, they will all be devoted to give success lo this proposition to get rid ol the legal tender feature o' paper currency, and 1 do not doubt that I will be thoroughly sus tained b,j the people I represent.” Greenback*. — A recent issue of the AeKalb County fiews contains the following sensible remarks unent the greenback ques tion, and it is so fully in accord with our own views that we cheerfully give place to it: But at Inst, in a serious humor, our friend inquires why we so despise greenbacks ? We answer that we do not despise greenbacks in their proper place, us u more, convenient form of u circulating medium, based on ami convertible into gold at the will of the holder Sncli a greenback is the present much abused national trank currency, and il constitutes the great mass of wliut 111-* "peo ple” commonly call gteetibaeks. We do despise the demagoguery that calls lor a fiat euriency based on the “creditof the nation,” or any other imaginary thing, believing, as we do, that this cry does not come Irom ihe honest convict ioDS of the men who make it in nine cases out ol ten, but from their desire to atirnct the multitude lor tliesikeol office or other gain. * * * We do not dislike gr eenbacks either, so much as we do green bai kism. for it lias already caused Democ racy to be defeated all over the country, nnd if carried to its legitimate ends will wipe out all S'aVe lilies and constitutional bnrriers. and aiiuibdme the lew remnants lull ol the Constitution. In Trouble —Alfonqp, who has just been married, is not permitted to enjoy his honey muon in peace. His cabinet has resigned, and there are stormy times just now iu Madrid. Just when lie most desired to h 'Ve a little rest, this trouble breaks out wi h a violentc that promises serious results, unless wise counsels prevail. Couldn't oo it. —The late lamented (?) Senator from Michigan, whose peripatetic cognomen was Chandler, never u<ed water us a heveiage after reading tlie following ana lysis of that useful fluid. It is as follows : Ni'zschift cnrvu'a, Cymatoplenra solea, Cymatopleura. ellipticn, Staurniieii punctata. Uleurosiguia spencciii und Rhizo-oleuia Krieosis.

The Democracy of Georgia have some rights which the Ring will be ob igetl to ies|HH;t, ami we tee! happy in being able to record Ike (act. — Central Ga Weekly. That’s right ; keep a close watch and report promptly. Nothing suits the Re publicans belter than all this twaddle about the organized, rings, and such like. Tlir Kind of Notes Given by Fm liters for Tlieir Guano. Air. Editor: —With your permission I desire to invite tbe attention of the planters of this section of country to tbe form of the notes that we farmers nre required to give lor the commercial (so culled) fertilizers that we have bten buyiug for seveial years past. These notes are so worded that we have no legal “go ba( k” ou tlue agents who frequently aud no doubt uuwittiugly sell these spurious guanas ; oor upon the company in whose lavor the notes ate diawn. Agreeable to the conditions set forth in the notes we sign, it is expressly understood by tbe guauo dealer, if not by the ignoiaut farmer, that they sell their g-uano simply upon its “anal ysis,” regardless of its effects upon the farmer’s crop ; aud with this “inside track," these 101 manufacturers of worthless bags of sand and dirt purporting to be fiist-class and sell their fertilizers. What does the common ignorant planter know of the “ana Ivsis” that any of these fertilizers have un dergone ? Not a thing And the man who purports to have been the chemist who analyzed the stufl, simply lies. All of the hags containing these guanos have their brand put on them before thp compound of their contents is put in them, and we venture the assertion that the analyzer who gives them Ihe credit of a thorough analysis never saw nor smelt the conteutsof one sack out of a hundred. In common with other men who own and work poor land, I have been using some little of these commercial manures for sev eral years, and I find from my experience that they are getting to bo almost worthless, I paid near on to a SIOO this year for guano—over $7 per sack—and if it bene fited tny cotton to the vai ue ol 70 cents per sack I could not discover it. Still 1 paid for it, hs I have always done for all that I ever bought. There are some men that I know who are refusing to pay for their guano, and the result is a contest at law. Now, in order to obviate such difficulties’ let me advise the small planters to go to work this winter and gather up from the woods and barn yaid, and get a whole heap of rich swam p muck, and compost a large pile by next March, of home-made fertilizer that wffi do better than any guano we buy. It is conceded by every man who has any practical experience in farming, that we planters would do better, and make more at less cost, if we would plant less laud and thoroughly enrich whnt we do plant. 1 have seen some iuud in cultivation this year (hut did not make as much corn as it took to feed Ihe mules that plowed the ground, to say nothing of the time and worth of the labor required to work such land. But if planters rely on buying “gohannuh” to en rich such poor land with, rhey will eome out ut the end of the harvest minus any profit- But the vendor of the guano must have the cot tori from every man who bought his guano, which is perfectly right, provided the guano has been properly used and has been the means of a lair and reasonable increase ol cotton over urn) above the yield of the laud with ut this guano. But this is not the condition upon which we are expected and required to pay lor it. Its preb nded analysis is the only guarantee that the farmer has that he wiil be bjocfitteJ by buy ing these fertilizers. Planters, ooe and all, big and little, don’t let us buy any more, only upon the condition that it increases the yield of our crops, as it lotmerly did, in which case we will pay our notes on the first ol Dect mber, und not be fore, only ut our option. Planter. Public Announcement. Air Editor: —l expect to visit Georgia, providence permitting, and to preach the gos pel at various points. I will briefly state certain leading points ol divine truth which may be presented at my appointments, to which Ihe attention of ihe public is earnestly called ; and if any dispute, they are invited to a-k questions, or to show the contrary from Scripture or reason, so far as time per mits at my appointments, or to arrange with me special meCtiugs for a public discussion oi the same : Ist.
