My association as Editor of this
journal, terminates with ibis number.
My connexion with it, though brief,
hits Iteon so directed as to make it con
dusive to the be. t interest of those
who have so liberally bestowed upon
me their patronage. If I have, at any
time, given otlcnco to any, it has been
•n error of the head and not of the
heart, nnd in leaving the many friends
I have in Duwson, Id > it with regret;
circumstances have called mo to u new
field of labor. lam associated with
my brother, Mr. Elam Christian, in
publishing the “Americus Tri-Week
ly and Weekly Ciurier,” a paper
which we hope to make of general in
terest, not only to our friends in that
Boctiou, but to many in this.
In bidding adieu to the former
friends and patrons of the Dawson
JouaNAL, I am proud to announce to
them that Capt. 8. R Weston has be
come my successor, nnd thattbeeditori
al department oftbopaper will bo under
his entira control and management
To those who know him, it would he
needless for me to add that his ability
for conducting the paper will not be
questioned, while his reputation as a
Christian gentleman, renders him every
way adapted to the enterprise in which
he hes embarked, and I most earnest
ly solicit for him a continuance of that
patronage, heretofore bestowed upon
the Dawson Journal.
J. R. CHRISTIAN.
Salutatory.
In taking charge of the Dawson
Weekly Journal, we sij to its patro&s
that our efforts shall bo to make it a
permanent institution of the town, and
such a one as will do no harm, if we do
no good, being anew business, may
congratulate ourselves if we do this
much.
It is our intention to make the paper
of more interest to its readers than ever
before, by enlarging, and presenting the
views of prominent men on Uie different
interest of our country Especially will
wo try to aid the farmer, as upon his
success, depends the success of our
selves, as well as the balance of man
kind. We hope to be aiJod in this do
p-irtaacnt by an experienced pi tutor.
It will loOttr ul.j ct to look after the
Tnterest of our sectiou (the Soui’9 10
particular, leaving the matter of Stato
to older heads, or at least, to others of
more experience than ourselves.
Politically, wc will have but little to
do or say, as the Rads have done the
work for us, A little more judicious
work at Atlanta, a little more time, and
• little more rope and they will finish
the job, and nothing will bo left for us
to do but to bury the dead. Wc hope
the lime is net far distant, when our
masters shall say, lei them alone. This
u all ire ask.
Let us make our own laws to govern
our people, (white and black,) look after
our agricultural interest, make one or
two more good crops of KING COT
TON, build factories, and the despised
rebels of the South will be respected
by our more elevated and refined mas
ters of the North.
Occasionally we may remind our
State Treasurer to keep a close watoh
over the State's money, it being ru
mored that some radicals love money
though they be dead.
For scalawags, we have never had any
respect, nor shall we ever try to have.
A man that sells his oountry for ofiico
is not worthy the respect of any good
citizen. Shall not expect much support
from them, if any there be in the range
of our paper.
The interest of our loved South, of
noble old Georgia, of our scothn (S.
W. Georgia) and our town, shall be our
motto.
To this end we shall bend all our ef
forts, and a?k of a generous public to
look over our short comings, and to lend
■ helping hand. We hope to merit the
liberal patronage heretofore given the
paper. S. R. WESTON.

A Cotton Factory ia Dawson.
Capt. Weston —l was present, aud
a silent spectator at your Cotton Fac
tory meeting a few evenings since, and
was pr> ud of tha movo made to eatab
lioh a Factory in your town. I regret
mush that my present condition will
not permit my taking stock in tho en
terprise. Fu'ure developcmcnts may
yet enable mo to do something fir tbej
advancement of tho undertaking; if|
not, my pen and influence, will, most |
eheorfully be consecrated to the work, j
I understand that $30,000 additional is |
all that is asked to put into successful
operation the whole machinery. Sorno
difference of opinion having heretofore
existed in reference to the propriety of
cannecfting the Cotton wuh the Car
Factory ; this objection is now removed,
and the citizens of Terrell county are
callod upon to subscribe to the creotioa
of a Cotton Factory alone, while the
gentlemen who compose the Car Factory
Company have responded liberally to
tho other, thereby showing their confi
dence in ILO enterprise as an admirable
investment. I WiJ now allude to a few,
among many others wii.eh might be
mentioned, of tho advantages: It would
bring into our city at loasi 100 addi
tional families as operative?, each family
consisting of 5 members, would make
500 persons. For food, clothing, fuel,
an l other incidental exponses to each
family, it would require at a low esti
mate, anme S IOO, lacking the neat little
sum of ? .0,000 to be divided out among
all classes of cit : zen% annually.
many men from othor seotions of the
country would move in, entirely di?-
connected with tho Factories here, for
the purpose of building up a bu-iness.
These fuc's alone must oonviuee every
man that Real Estate would advance at
least 50 peroent. upon present prices in
our city, to say nothing of tho rapid ad
vance in the price of lands all over the
county. If the people are not blind to
their future interest, they will come up
like men, and subscribe liberally at
once, to an enterprise which will put
money ia their pockets, aud make them
independent of Northern Manufactur
ing Capitalists. J. W. I*.
The following is the speech of Hon.
P. M. B. Young, protesting against the
aotion of the House in excluding from
the Electoral College tho State of Geor
gia:
“Mr. Speakhr —l rise to inquire
whether it would now be in order for
me to enter my eulemn protest, in be
half of the peoplo of my State, aud
in the name of tho Constitution and
laws of tho United States, agaiust the
action of this House in thus enclud
ing from tho Electoral College the
State if Georgia. That State, sir, has
a full delegation on this floor; her Rep
resentatives, of whom I have the honor
of being one, were admitted without
contest question. Georgia has perfor
med all the conditions stiiotly required
of her under the reconstruction acts of
Congress, and although she is denied
upon mere technical objections, her rep
resentations in the Senate, she has ves
ted rights in this House, and she is
ag.iii a State iD the Uniou, with all the
rights and privileges—so far, at least
as her voice may be heard in this matter
—of any other State. To deny to her
now and her citizens tho dearest right
of freedmen, the elective, franeb’se, and
especially for the Chief Magistrate of
the people, is to strike down the great
object and principle of republican gov
ernment, and foreshadow and promote
consolidation and despotism. I reiter
ate my srlcmn protest agsinst such ac
tion.”
For tho Dawson “Journal.”
To the Editor of th 4 Dawson “duurml”
and through you to ichom theie may
come, greeting :
In a full meeting of tho llutlor Sab
bath School, held in December last, it
was announced to tho School, that Capt.
F. M Mclveoney and family, and J.
11. Crouch and family, wero going to
move to Dawson, Ga., and as they bal
been connected with the School for some
time, and by their devoteducss in labor
ing for and liberal support to sustain the
School, wc thought proper aud right 10
give utterance to our appreciation of
them as families worthy the confidence
of the good wheresoever their lots might
fall. The facts connecting them with
the School aro as fdlows: 4.
Capt. McKenney was elected ore of
the Managers of the School in the early
part of 18fiT7and oontinued a faithful
co laborer uutil his removal; Mrs.
McKenney, a faithful teacher the same
time, their interesting children Constant
attending pupils. J. 11. Croueh’s chil
dren were pupils the same length of
time, except the eldest, Miss Alberta,
who was a teacher the last year. In
1867, Mr. Crouch was made an officer
in the School, which ho held until be
left us, and in 1808, Mrs. Crouch was
placed on the Burd of Managers, which
position she held uutil her roaioval from
our midst. -4
Mr Editor—You perhaps never wit
nessed a more expressive and affecting
scene of the kind, when the School tock
the farewell shake of the hand of par
ties named above—long will the scene
be remembered, aud fervent was the
prayer effered by the Rev. Dr. Ross, and
the whole praying part of the Shool,
that tho blessings of tho Giver of all
good, our kind lleavmly Father, might
rest upon them aud briDg them ti re
pentance and salvation through our
Lord Jesus Christ. These geutlemen
are known to bo honorable business men,
as well, also, as men of integrity, and
we heartily recominmd them and thoir
kind families to the good peoplo of your
place, and hope to hear soon that they
are all at work in the Sabbath School,
and more, through tho goodness of the
Lord, servants of God and members of
the Church of Christ—enough. They
can introduce thomselve o , and we feel
assured our recommendations will not be
lessened by their Aquaintance for the
School. JAS. GRIFFITH, gupt
Butler, G:., Februiry, 186!).
We will say to Mr. Griffith and his
School, that the geutlemen above named
and their familijs are stili at work ir’
tho good cause. The country cannot
uff rd for sueh to be idle. Wirno wc
congratulate out School aud community
for the accession made, wc hope others
may be found to fill their places at But
ler.

JJa«s of Coal.
C'oaMlcrable excitement has prevail
ed in our little city the past week, says
the North Georgia Citizen, owiDg to
the unearthing of a vest coal mine in
John’s Mountain, a few miles from
Dalton. It appears that the Lot ha?
been known for years, but only within
the past sow days has it been made
known. Great masses of coal are re
ported for miles around, and the lucky
ones w'oo have heretofore owned the rocky
h'lls adjacoot are now bouyant with the
hope of anticipation fortunes. The coal
is said to be of an excellent quality so
fur as tried. We fear the oonsiquar.ee
of this sudden outburst, for if the ex-
continues everybody iu town
will be mu’”bo;in« for ile.”

Horrible Murder lnformation
reached this city yesterday afternoon
that a most horrible and inhuman as
sassination had beon committed on Tues
day night within half a mile of the quiet
little town of Crawfordvillc, on the
Georgia lailroad. Tuo victim was Mr.
Charles Axt, a woil known farmer, who
lived in that vicinity for a number of
years. Ho was found dead on h's bed,
yesterday morning, with his throat cut,
and several bruises on his head, indi
cating the most heartless and diaboli
cal murder which it has ever fell to our
duty to record. No devclopemepts
have yet trnnspiredas to the guilty par
ties, or the motives which could have
prompted so fiendish an outrage.
Mr. Axt had devoted a uumber of
years to the cultivation of a vineyard
and the manufacture of wine at his farm
Mr. Axt was regarded as an esteemed
and useful citizen, and had several
friends iu this oily, who Macereiy bewail
his tragic death. —Augusta Press, 18 th.

Wo have, therefore, viewed with great
interest a specimen of the cleaned fibre
of tlip ramig, which been sent to
us from Louisiana, whtrelt Ims bcoD
introduced, and is now offered as u
substitute for cotton in the labors of
tho plainer. The plant is a native of
Java, and was first brought t> Europe
in 1841, vvlier; by the boauty and
strength of its fibre, it receive 1 .raueh
attention in manufacturing ctclis It
is now stated that a considerable quan
tity is annually received there and man
ufactured into fabrics of the fi est qual
ity, excelling linen ir. strength, beauty,
anil finish, and rivalling s lk in lustre. !
But what most concerns us now is the j
que-tion of its cost of production. Is it j
cheap? (’nn it'be produced cheaj er
thnr, cotton?
Tile great disadvantages of cotton
culture in our Southern States now
are, ti st, that the labors of n cot’on
plantation are continuous from the be
ginning of January to the ending of
of Docember, involving the payment of
twelve months the agiiuultu
ml laborer; and, second, that mis un
exampled cost of labor does not by
any means secure a crop, as the cotton
plant is very sensitive to an excess bo h
of ruin and dry weather, and is the '
frequent piey of die army worm.— I
With these disadvantages the cotton '
planter rarely makes a profitable crop I
oftener than one season in three If, 1
therefore, he can find a substitute for
the cotton plant, which shall give him 1
equal marketable returns, with le?s 1
cost of production and less liability to j
injury from natural causes during
growth, he will be very likely to let
cotton slide and turn his attention to
the new article of production.
Ail of these advantages are claimed
in behalf of the textile ramie. In a
pamphlet, now before us it is stated
that the soil and climate of the South
ern States aie particularly adapted to
its cultivation ; that the plant will not
bu hurt by long continued wet or dry
weather; that its fibre, being contained
in the inner bark, cannot be injured by
the cotton worm ; that small capital is
required to cultivate it, as it is easily
propagated aud cultivated, requiring
no attention af er becoming two feet
high, and being perennial, does not re
quire 1 (‘planting; and that three crop?
cun be harvested a year, each produc
ing from nine to twelve hundred
pounds of crude fibre per acre, which
will sell at present for ten cents, gold,
per pound in Europe. These are im
mense advantages in favor of tho ra
mie, and if even one-half of them can
be obtained cotton will soon be ban
ished from our Southern plantations
and anew process of reconstruction
established.
What are yin wto demonalrlted
are facile end cheap processes Jfor
breaking the ctalk and machinery for
carding ands; inn ng tho li : re. We
may safely count < n the inventive fuc -
ulty of this mechanical age to produce
these, and need only to suggest to in
ventors to look at once in o tho sub
ject, as offering a remunerative field
for their genius, Th<», sample of tire
clean fibre now before us is beautifully
white, soft and glossy, c orely resemb
ling silk in its appearance, and the fibre
is very long and strong, and it is
claimed that it readily receives the
most delicate dyes without injury to
its strength or lustre. We are not in
formed what processes it has passed
through in preparation.
Southern Prosperity. —lt is gratify
ing to see the good jn.pression that the
prosperity of the Sautb, under the judi

Another oeason like tho preieut will
practicaliy reconstruct- us without the
intervention of Congress or Governor
Bullock. Tho following pirrijjrafih,
clipped from tho financial article cf the
Philddphia speaks v. Icme-: “Wo

themselves a market l.qrn w-'eh, :n the
olden times, they got great gain. But
we mu.it acknowledge that the rapidity]
with which our p.oaagcs have been ful
filled has surprised us. With one good
and profitable cotton crop, S uttiern
merchants are now resorting to our
commercial centres to make purchases
with tne cash iu hand, while those of
the West are lagging behiud, and col
