Tl.e fuses of tho little ones have already put on that gleeful smile whuh the anticipation of Christmas tree, hanging up stockings, etc., naturally produces. Many a poor turkey—not laoking fljob, howevor—awaits its awful doom, heedless of the fact that the jojful morn to others winds up its sumptuous career. Poor fowl*! We are afraid they will have no suchc to fear the cadavcious jaws of tho editor. But a change has come over the spirit of “che boys” dreams.

TnE Decline in Prices. -A finan cial article in a New York paper Bays: It appears to be very generally under stood among both manufacturers and merchants, as well by the-consuming public, that we have uow paesed the elimax of high prices, and that hence forth tbtre must be a persistent fall in the value of all products. Thi idea of course, produces special caution io the matter of credits, and hae a depressing effect upon every branch of business. But its tendency is nevertheless to avert any severe convulsions ia the markets from a Eudden and extreme fall in value. Alfrtiy at SwerluaUr Tennes see-Four men Hilled. We £nd the account of a terrible af fair which occurred at Sweetwater, East Tennessee, last Sunday, in tho Chatta nooga Union of Tuesday: Wc learn that on Sunday evening, Sweetwater, Tennessee, was tho scene of a terrible affray, resulting in the death of all the participants. It ap pears that Capt. Wm. Jenkins, formerly of Marietta, Ga., bad been for severs! days in Sweetwater attending to some private business, when on Sunday even ing, while passing near the railroad de pot w»* accosted by throe men belong ing to Athens, Tcnr., two of whom were brothers, named McGaughey ; the name of the third is unknown* An al tercation ensued, when pistols were succeeded in firing at his assailant’s, kill ing one of the McGaughcy’s instantly, and mortally wounding the other two men. We understand that all of the parties have since died. The affair pro duced coneideraele excitement in Sweet water, where all of the parties were well known. The unfortunate r.ffair criginated du ring the war. It appeared that in De cember, 1861, a raid was made into the town of Athens, by a bushwhacking party, and during tbe time they occu pied the town Mr. McGaughey, the sther of the young men concerned in “he nseleo on Sunday, was killed. The McGaughey’« were Union men, and a. we understand it, Captain Jen kins was an officer in :he raiding party, believed to be concerned in the killiDi' of McGaughey.

Kdltui s : Will you allow roe through your columns to give a word ol warning and entreaty to the kind pooplo of Dawson, and elsewhere, with respect to their conduct duriDg tic coming holidays. It is too of'en the case that young and old, durirg this time, forgot G id, char acter, health, church obligations, and every thing else, aod givo way to roirih reveling aod drunkenness. Such con duct is uncivil zed, at any time, but mere especially daring Christmas. Lei every man and woman, (if they do not know,) enquire what great event is com memoruted by this day, and surely they will bo convinced of the impropria ty of soeh conduct as gonorally prevails during Christmas. Let members of the church, especial ly be careful. Set good examples. Do notbriDga reproach upon your church. For God sake, suf r r.ot the world to lead you away from the right path. Let every raembor of accicty, young and old, have no dealings wit‘» liquor Christmis, then we may hope to isoape without fighting and death in our midst- A Friend to All. For tbe Dawson Journal. Wliat Sliall I Do with my Honey t Start not reader, if tho above qtier ry, illy accords with the action of our “Legislature” on tho subject of “relief Stay Law, Repudiation,” and its con comitant evils—and before you say the quortion is absurd, read this arti cle. lam not writing for tho benefit | of the merchant and tradesman, but for the cottor-making larmer of South western Georgia. Prior to the yrar 18G1, it was your custom to count your money at this season of the year, and see how man y neg.'os you could buy or how many acne of land. Slaves and cot ton lands were considered the best, tho safes 4 , the surest mode ol di-posing of the annual [rofit9 of your plantation the best, because it would always bring cost, and vas not likely to deto rioate in value—tho surest, because the farmei knew better the value of this species of investment and was not easily entrapped by sharpers. Soon after the commencement of the war, a little uneasiness was felt on the negro, and ‘.hen lands—even wild lands—were considi red by you as safe investments. Tis useless for me here to add, that now-, neither of these are good investments. In 1865, you had little or nothing to invest, and consequently the question that I now spring did not trouble you ; but at the close of this cotton season he fir.ds that Nr4nwWoff^j.r^,g i at 30 cents per pound, erty, will nelrlimrTfibrt "nruircy man heretofore, in comparison to the Capi tal invosted. After realizing tho fact to he true, he draws a righ of relief and asks himsulf the question ‘ w hut shall Ido witn my money ?” I have Corn and Bacon rufficient for another crop. I have as much laud r.s I can cultivate, my stock and plantation tools are in good condition, and I have one or two, or five thou and dollars in moil ey. What shall Ido with it ? That there should bo any Capital in the State, may seem strange, after tho stay law has been extended bat l hold it to be true, that South west Georgia hat more money, (or will have, when the cot’oti is sold,) than she has had in ordinary crop years before the war. If I am asked for proof, I appeal to any person who visited Ainericus during Sunday the 2nd inst , if there was ever a greater exhibition of wealth, in South west Qa.. than among the females at tending the session of the Georgia Methodist Conference Not on'y fabrics of finest textures were exhibited, but al! the latest styles of female Parapher nalia, from tho marts of wealth and ex treme fashion. Here is where we usu ally look for an index of the wealth of the inhabitant. If this fact be granted, then we can enter fully into the discussion of tho subject. NntJ first, we answer, build up the manufacturing interest of the Siute. Wbat a field is here open for invest ment. The civilized world, use the ar ticle of cotton, but not in its raw state, somebody must prepare it for use. Go into any dry god store, and behold the cotton that once grew on your plantations, the result of your industry. men bad become rich, in making the fine textures out of the unseemly bales you branded to market, you would not be urged to make these fabrics at homo, to become one of the mipienfs ol this immenec profit Weigh the yards compare the price, and look for your self. There is an outlay, I admit, but who ever made anything without risk? A bunch of “Factory Yarn” weighs five pounds; what do you pay for it? U r ok at the manufactories of the east look at the immense population gath ered around them. All these pay more or less to the stockholders of the man ufactories. Cotton is only carried there as a convenience. If we were to stop, and fabricate it at home, this population would have to come to you, Look for instance at the gold mines of North Ga , they are being developed by Capital from the North anil will tend much to improve that section Why are they worked at hane? Be cause, (as every one sees) it is n r t practicable to rem ve them to New England. Look at this like men. Wc have a gold mine, w here surface has never been touched by us, except to aend the lough status to the miner We have paid the fright to hiA mill. e have paid the minet to briDg this wrn'th into notice—and wo have, ufter. making him roh out of the profils, j paiiLilie merchant, to so after i', ami j I aid the fr-ight and i barge* back t«»j the very spot, where tie penial rays of h Southern run, first brought it t» the light of a delighted world Shall we con'inue to do «o ? or shall w e any to those ill want of cotton fabrics.— li e have lh< m lure, ready for are. — Corn ■ ami buy it was the cotton of the South, and the grain of the west, that built the Metropolis of the Western hemisphere. Boston, New York, Philadelphia and all northern cities, have thus been led and sustained. Tho goose his year by year laid lor them the golden eg 4 , while our Southern ritie\ have p’ayed “second fiddle” t- their imposition ami our Duality. Wliat is the conse quence ? Look at the recklessness with which they are wo rying the life nut ot n goose - Let in he their goos * no longer, let us build hern nest et li me and in years not far distant, we shall be masters of the situation- This is what I demmiin te, “mn terlv inactivity."— Let Savannah, Charleston, Brunswick be tho marts w here European mer chants shall bo forced to enter to buy Cal’coes, for their trade. I will only give one more of the many reasons, fir this course- ,t ■ this —it is a Weil established fact, lhat England has pied every one of her tropical provinc-B to supply her with cotton, and now Lois that she c n raise a sufficient quantity to meet her demand, but tbc quality is so poor that she must buy from the South some of your long stap'e to enable her manu factories to use her own—it must be mixed. By manufacturing our cotton at h me, our market will be at home. We will force them to pay our price fir cu- ru plus. It wi 1 not be lookingat tho dispa'ches from England to know what cotton is worth there, but they will bo the readers, to know wbat cot ton is werth at Savannah. Athens, Ga., now makes the best cottonades found in the market of New York. Tbe sheeting, osnaburgsandEhir iing manufactured at Macon, Augusta, Roswell etc., are equal to any iu the world, are rapidly bought up f or Nor thern markets, and frequently sb.ppcd back and sold to the man who raised tho c itton. Why not employ the not pri fits year after year from your plan tation in building up a sure and safe investment, at home, so that when your children grow up you can turn over the plantation to them and live off the profits of your investment, thus giv ing them a start without taking from your cipital stock. The waters of Flint, Kinehefoonce, Muckalee and hundreds of othersTcams offer you tho power to move the ma chinery lor this enterprise. Do not wait until Northern capitalists forestall you in the matter, and buy out all your best cotton lands, ere you know what is coming—be alive to tjie present and future iuterest of yourselves and chil dren. Go to work, select men of tried in tegrity and perseverance and placo them at tho head of the er’irprise. Sclec*. your sites, raise your companies, and go jo wpi kiu earnest. Tn great demands it. ifested by many farmers to engage iu in rchandise, to quit farming, plainly proves that they must have some safe, »tire, and profitable mode of investment. This jpiritis right, but must be set in tbe right channel, if not set correctly it will prove au unhealthy stale of society. Recol loot lhat merchants at best are ou ly emissary parasites. I have only set out propositions to set the farmers to'tbiuki Dg, and hope that tho result of their conclusions will cause them to act at some future time- I may bore you again on this subject. Till "then rifloctatd act. E N. K. Tragedy. We have information by parties who came np the Mississippi and Tennessee Rai road last night that Thomas D. Me- Cluskcy, proprietor of tbo Winona Miss Hotel was shot with fatal eff ct at that place yesterday afternoon at oae o’clock by Wm. Ayres, a young man of Gren ada. Theoircumstancos as far we can learn are as follows : McCluskey, a few drye since, unfortunately made some very flagrant remarks concerning a lady wh > occupies a high social position, aud who is a near relative of young Ayres. The latt r, heating of it, took the matter in hand, and in company with a friend and relative of his, Capt. Ike A. Hood, of this city, waited upon McCluskey to de mand satisfaction. He was found in the office of the hotel, and wboi ad dressed on the subj cot, he first showed a disposition to evade |a reply, but when sJ-Osclv pressed, he showed fight, and tiood became involved to tbo extent of trying to separate the antagonists, but McCluskey being a very large, strong man, and the others rather light, he knocked them around roughly. A fourth party entering the room, caught Ayres by the arm and wrested a Derringer pis ■ol from his hand. At this instant Mc- Cluskey made a rush on Ayres, who now drew a six-shooter and shot Mc- Cluskey with deadly precision. The wounded man 6tagarered forward, f.H, and in a few minutes expired, without speaking more than a wsrd or two. By this time a crowd began to assemble aud in a few minutes nearly every booy in the little village, including even sons females—among whom was the wife of McCluskey, to whom he wag married only a few months ago— had etsembled. Aytes, at the suggestion of his friends, submitted himself to the author ities Capt. Hood, in the cxcitemen of the moment, was also arrested, under the impression that he furnished tho pistol with which Ayros did the shoot «Dg. This, however, seems improbable and was not generally admitted by the erowd. The affair, was to go before a magistrate yesterday afternoon when it was rupp sed that Ayres would bo released under bond, and thut Capt. Ilood would be discharged fr in custody McCluskcy was rather n young, man and a native of North Mississippi. At tho breaking out of the war, however, ho resided in Sonthwot-tern Georgia— probably in Cuthbert. A few months ago he returned to Mississippi as a schoolteacher, married in Winona, and settled down as a hotel keeper. Tho yourg man who killed him is scarco twenty, lives with his ftther, a merchant from Grenada, belongs to a well known and highly respectable fam ily, and has over borne the charaetej of a quiet, clever boy—an excellent young man. Tho affair created a great sensa .ion in tho village, and while regarded as very unfortnuate, the public generally admitted that the young man was com pelled to pursue the course which result ed so tragically. We forbear comment at present, as the circumstances will doubtless bo developed in tho courts— Memphis Com. <f- Anjus Cmuly Adalteration*. Our new health espoinage is bring ing to light some qecr things.u Tbe com mon candle? and confectionaries of com merce arc not altogether toothsome or wholesome, if recent investigations arc to be believed. The adulteration of su gar candies and spices h a trace large ly and regularly carried on in this city. Instead ot plaster, which, till lately, entered so largely into tho manufactory of confectionery, in place of sugar—? new article has boon discovered called Terra alba, or white earth. It comes from Ireland and costs by the barrel about li cents per pound, while loaf sugar costs about 17 cents. The bod ies of candies, the coating o' almonds aud lozingos are made from this earthy material. It. is whi'er than plaster and is very mu h used in the adulteration of flour used in tbi a market. A giue, paint and oil mannfaeturer of Now York has sent round his annual circular, which I have seen, to the principle confection ers, calliag the attention tn a fresh arri val of this white earth. I have seen an ounce of lozenges dissolved in water, in which two thirds of an ounce was of Terra alba, and not a partiele of sugar i i the lot. The common methol of flavoring candies, almonds, sugar plums, etc., is with deleterious substances. The pine apple flavor, the banana and tbc peach are made from fusil oils, which are very poisonous. Bitter almond flavor >s made from prussic acid unadulterated. Pineapple flavor is obtained from rotton ""Gu J arable for pure gum drops is costly. Au artiele has been invented of the most beautiful appearance, that io used instead of the gum. It is very cheap and very poisonous In pure candy cochi ncal is to color red, and saffron fur the yellow.— But ia the common candies poisonous coloring is put, the same 'bat, is used to color wines and liquors. One of the most common is‘carlot’ it towbiah arse nic largely en ers. A few grains cf thi* substmen will color a cask cf wine, Licorice drops for the ‘trade’ are made of poor brownsugar, glue and lampblack flavored with licorice. Aud for the Western trade much of tais vile stuff 's packed and sent West to be. put up in boxes tn stit the market, cf which from 75 to 90 per cei.t. s erra a’bu. Tl s ma terial enters largely into the eouimou choc date and spices. Much 'f the cream of taitcr u c ed fi r bread is made of terra alba and t irtaric acid.
