THE STATETHEaSYEY, THE STATE HOAD, AC.
Tho following from our Atlanta ex
changes, tho Constitution ami Suit, in
regard to affairs at Stato headquar
ters, will not bo without interest to our
readers. May not these disclosures
that are being made from time to time,
of fraud, wrangling, etc. betweon offi
cials cause every one to resolve to put
forth every effort to bring tho perpe
trators to punishment, and finally rid
our State of such officials The Con
stitution publishes the following com
ments and ordor from the State Treas
urer :
The following notice by Treasurer
Angier to the effect that ho will not
pay ary warrants on the State Treas
urer except on the civil establishment
and special appropriation, unless signed
by a resident Governor, is a right
move, and necessary to the protection
of the State Treasury as well as his
own official safety.
Governor Bullock is off junketing
nil over tho country. Rumor has it
that a private individual, gravely ini
•licated in public matters of a ques-
U ' ;iTe-ftUwacter, is acting Governor.

Verily we have come to a f&'h pass
in State mutters. The Radical coil!”*
dy of misrule is playing with a ven

jingle merrily, and the State lias a fes-'

Executive Chamber.

TUF. STATE ROAD.
Tho same paper gives an account of
the arrest of tho Commissioners ap-|
pointed to revise tho hooks of the road
at the instance of C. P. McCalla, and
adds :
The State Road investigation waxrs
lively. The legal proceedings insti
tuted against tho three highly res
pectable gentlemen, Messrs. Red wine,
Rawson and Ilammork, by Mr. Mc-
Calla, for certain papers in their pos
session, found among tho State Road
documents and alleged to be McCal
la’s private papers forms a nice little
episode, that may amount to nothing
or something.
« These papers are important, chiefly
as showing that Mr. McCalla has been
after 20 per cent, of tho State Road
fraud.}, and proposes a division with
Major Hargrove; and that Mr. Ben
Conley, of the Board of State Road
Commissioners, was willing for tho
contract to be made, so far as ho had
authority. Whether it is right for the
State to pay this 20 per cent to sala
ried men is a question. Whether tho
Board of Commissioners meant to give
McCalla largo fees for investigating
and unearthing matters on the boohs,
which his official position gave him
hnowlodge of, is another question.—
Whether this is a test question over
unimportant papers that may, if suc
cessful, embolden an attempt to get
other and more important papers in
tho committee’s hands as private pa
pers is still another question. Wheth
er this movement of Mr. McCalla was
a big speculation to make a round sum
that the State is entitled to, and which
the State’s officers, if vigilant, could
get, is still another matter.
One thing is very certain, and that
is, tha; no papers connected with tho
transaction in any way are private pa
pers. The public has a right to them
all, and tho effort to withdraw them
from the committee’s possession creates
a suspicion in the minds of the impar
tial. The idea very naturally arises
that something is behind that will not
bear scrutiny.
FOSTER BEOBGETT.
This individual is mad with the Sun ,
and quotes a great deal of poetry try
ing to prove his innocence and a dis
position on the part of that paper to
taunt Those poetic and pathetic com
plaints are made through tho columns
of the Era, to w hich the Sun replies in
part as follows:
The people of this State intend to
have answers to such questions as the
following:
Ist. How is it, that instead of pay
ing a half million of dollars or more
into the Treasury- of the State, from
the earnings of the Road, the said
Foster Blodgett not only paid nuthiug
into the Treasury, but had the unpar
allelled impudence to ask tho Legisla
ture to appropriate a half million of
dollars to put the Road in repair ; and
still more, left the Road in debt very
nearly, if not fully, a quarter of a mil
lion of dollars, to bo paid out of tho
people’s pockets ? (This last item, we
believe, was mentioned by him as a’
bigjoko.) > _ |
ltd. How is it. that most ot those who j
were connected with the Road under
his administration, nppeared, at first,
to bo poor as church mice, but seem
suddenly to have become rich, and
now appear to be rolling in wealth,
and nro impudently and defiantly
flaunting their fine horses, carriages,
houses, dressing and money-bags, in
the faces of the impoverished taxpay
ers ol Georgia 'i
These are two of tho questions
which llie people of Georgia intend to
have answered.
IV, ter, can you taco tho music ?
Gen. Wade Hampton has written a
litter to Gen. J> 11. Hill, in which he
advises against sending delegates to
he National Democratic Convention
next year for the following reasons :
First. The Southern delegates in a
National Convention could experience
no influence in shaping tho policy,
making up the issues, or selecting can
didates for the next contest, without
injuring the prospect of tho Demo
cratic triumph. That tliis would inev
lably bo tho case, is proven by the re
sult of the last Democratic Convention
where tho very presence of tho South
erners was used to prejudice tho ac
tion and defeat of tho candidates of
our party.
Second. If tho Southern delegates
could not with propriety exert any in
fluenco in the Convention, while their
mere attendance in it might result in
infinite mischief to the Democratic
party, it is surely the part of wisdom
to refrain from participating in the de
liberations of the Convention.
Third. Tho Northern Democracy
wiJJ have to bear tho burthen of the
; fio-ht .Vs the next Presidential contest,
and it is only rijglit that they should
| choose the field &nd select the stan
dard-bearers.
The Savannah- Republican has tho fol
, lowing in regard to the action of tho
sub-Ku-Klux committe and the power
delegated thereto, when they shall vis
it tho South :
Our Washington dispatch announces
the visit of sub-committees to the South
andlook af:er the Ku-Klux. It will be
seen that Voorhees and General Blair
are on tho committee for Georgia, and
we promise them a cordial welcome.
A special committee to demand of the
State authorities an exposition of the
local finances, taxation &c., and in
case of refusal, “ to obtain it by such
as then deem advisable," smacks strongly
of tho despotism into which tho coun
try lias been revolutionized by the
Radicals. In the days of Troup such
a committee would have been hung
before they reached the capitol of the
State. But times have changed—oh,
how sadly.
Coxsidehabie alarm is being felt
along the sea cost by- many who have
heard of a great tidal wave that was
to come along and destroy everything
within its reach. Many of the papers
laugh at tho silliness of tho general
populace, hut their reasoning does not
allay tho fears of the people in some
parts, as the following from the New
beru (N. C.) Times will disclose :
We are informed that tho people
living along the hanks and at Beau
fort, and the entire sea coast, are, iu
view of tho visit of the tidal wave,
holding prayer meetings night and
day, in which prayers aro made to
avert tho supposed impending calann
ity. Many persons are joining tho
church, and a general religious feeling
prevails.

committee have had much trouble in
getting before them, refused to-day to
answer all questions inquiring as toliis
connection or the connection of any
other person with the so-called Ku-
Klux orgauization, on tho ground that

himself or biing upon himself the
punishment which, according to the
decision of the Supreme Court of
North Carolina, may be visited upon
any member of a band of Ku-Klux
for the misdeeds of their fellow mem
bers. "JL lie act of Congress of Janua
ry 24, 1862, was read to him, wherein
it is enacted that such a plea shall not
be held good to excuse a witness from
testifying before the Congression

his refusal to answer the questions put
to him, saying he preferred relying
on the constitution of the United
States rather than on an act of Con

A GEORGIA VOLUNTEER.
RYXARIFF.
Wo find tho following touching
lines in the Richmond Enquire.
Tlmy were writon by Mrs. Townsend i
ut a neglected grave of one who was
a meinbe r of tho Twelfth Georgia, a
regiment wliyst* gallantry was conspic
uous on every field whero its colors
waved, and which won praise for pe
culiar daring even among tho “foot
cavalry” of Jackson.
Far up tho lonely mountain side,
My wondering footsteps led :
The mosH lay thick beneath iny feet,
The pine sighed overhead.
The trace of a dismantled fort,
Lay in the forest nave.
>4ud in the shadow near my path,
1 saw a soldier's grave.
The bramble wrestled with the wood
l/ T pon the lowly mound,
The simple head board, rudely writ,
//ad rotted on the ground;
I raised it with a reverent hand,
From dust its words to clear;
But time had blotte 1 all but these—*
“ A Georgia Volunteer.”
i saw the toad and scaly snake
From tangled coverts start,
And hide themselves among the weeds
Above the dead man's heart;
But undisturbed hi sleep profound,
f'uJieeding, there he lay
His coffin but the mountain soil,
llis Confederate gray.
1 heard the Shenandoah roll
Along the vale below,
/ saw tho rise
Towards the realms of snow.
The “Valley campaign” rose to mind— •
Its leader’s names—and then
I knew the sleeper had pccu one
Os Stonewall Jackson’s men.
Yet whence he came, what lip shall say.
JFhat tongue will ever tell,
What desolated hearths and hearts
Have been because he fell ?
JFhat sad eyed maiden braids her hair.
Her hair which he held dear ?
One lock of which, perchance, lies with
The Georgia Volunteer.
What mother with long-watching eyes,
And white lips cold and dumb,
JFuits with appalling patience for
Her darling boy to come ?
Her boy, whose mountain grave swells up,
Hut one of many a scar
( ut on the face of our fair land
By gory-handed war I
What fights, he fought what wounds ho wore
Are all unknown to fame;
Remember, on his lonely grave
There is not e’en a name !
There he fought well, and bravely, too,
And held his country dear,
We know- -else he bftd never been
“A Georgia Volunteer ”
lie sleeps--what need to question now
If he were wrong or right,
lie knows, ere this, whose cause was

In God, the Father’s sight*
lie wields no warlike weapons now,
Returns no foeman’s thrust,
Who, but a coward would revile
An honest soldier’s dust 1

In solitude austere.

Georgia Central Railroad. —Mr.
William Rogers, Superintendent of
the Central Railroad, has been iu
Great Britain for some time—includ
ing Scotland and Isle of Man—pur
chasing steel rails for his road, the
first installment of which arrived re
cently at Savannah, on tho steamer
“Onward.” Mr. E. will return home

Mr. Wadley, President of the road,
is going to crown his reign with a
mammoth depot in this city, on the
cite of the old Court House at the foot j

seen the design of the building say it
will eclipse anything of the kind south
of Mason and Dixon’s line. It is also
said that the Central Railroad Compa
ny will, in course of time, build all
of their own engines here, and Macon
will gain a valuable accession of skill
ed mechanics thereby. The amount
of money they will distribute here
will be enormous, and go toivard buil

Referring to the question of who
shall be President of the Senate, the
Savannah Republican, of Friday says:
Judge Wm. M. Reese, of Wilkes,
appears to have inside track for Presi
dent of the Senate. Perhaps no man
elected to the body is better qualified
for the post. Os one thing we aro
certain, and it is much iu his favor —
ho will not seek it.
Upon the same subject, tlie Nows of
same date, says;
No citizen could be selected better
qualified to fill tbo position, or in
whom the entire people of the State,
of all classes and parties, would re
pose more unbounded confidence.
The Albany JSctcs makes some re
marks on tlie question of impeaching
Bullock which seems to us worthy ot
serious consideration. It says:
Sn all Bullock he Impeached ?—ln
our last we figured Senatorial strength
to sustain impeachment, in tlie event
it shall bo deemed policy to make tho
effort.
Unless charges covering tho sup
posed enormous wrongs ol liis admin
istration, can be sustained with clear
ness anil flagrantly by proof strong as
holy writ, it would be a losing game.
We are just on the evo of a Presiden
tial campaign, and there is danger of
placing a trump card in the hands of
the cliineo.” If we fail to
make out a case that will shame the
cry of persecution and silence the
charge of partizan prejudice, we might
liavo cause to regret the experiment.
Success must be hedged aud supported
by causes so patent and proof so posi
tive that Radicalism itself shall shud
der and turn away in utter disgust, or
wo shall reap no good from the victo
>y-
******
Duty, and not passion or party
should prompt the Jlegislature and
characterize tho proceedings ; and we
trust that calm counsels and deliberate
conclusions will control tho matter,
and save us from the consequences of a
blunder. The question is one of tho
gravest moment, and is well worthy
the thoughful consideration of our
wisest and best men. It should be ap
proached under the sanctity k of solemn
duty, and with a view to the good of
tho State and the honor of tho people.

Lxiibcrant Health
Is a blessing vouchsafed to fev. Even those
»ho have been favored by nature with strong
constitutions and vigorous frames are apt to
negiset the precautions necessary to preserve
these precious endowments. Indeed, as a
rule, the more healthy and robust a man is,
the more liberties he is inclined to take with
bis own physique. It is some consolation to
the naturally weak and feeble to know that
they can be so invigorated and built up, by
a proper use of tiie meane which science has
placed at their di posal, as to have a much
better chance of long life, and exemptions
from disease and pain, than the most athletic
of their fellows who are foolish enough to
suppose themselves invulnerable, aud act ac
cordingly.
I is not too much to sav that more than
half the people of the civilized world need
an occasional tonic, to enable them to sup
port the strain upon their bodies and minds,
which the fast life of this restless age occa
sions. In fact, a pure, wholesome, unexcit
ing tonic is the grand desideratum of the busy
millions, and they have the article in Hcstet
j ter’s Stomach Bitters. It is a staminal med
j icine, i. e. it imparts permanent strength to
weak systems and invigorates delicate const!-.
; tutions. Its reputation and its sales have
steadily increased. Competitive preparations
have been introduced ad libitum, and, as far
as the public is concerned, ad nauseam, in
the hope of rivalling it; but they have all ei
ther perished in the attempt, or been left far
in the rear. It has been the great medical
mccess of tho present century, and it is quite
certain that no proprietary ’medicine iu this
coui.fy is as widely known, or as generally
used.
Ton lightning"presses, running incessantly
(Sundays excepted,) the whole year through,
barely supply <hc demand for the Illustrated
Almanac, in which the nature and uses of the
preparation are set forth, the circulation be
ing now over eight millions a year.
