The jubilee for old and young draws
nigh ! 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. They are noti
fied by his honor the Mayor, that their
fondness for fire-works cannot avail
them in pleasure-seeking, except at a
tost of fifty dollars. And, under the
circumstances, wc deem this a wise
forethought on tho part of our worthy
council.
Os course tho printer ia expected to
recuperate to some extent during the!
holidays. All hands are bent on Christ
mas, consequently there will be only an 1
extra issued next week for legalizing
certain publications. We beg the in
dulgence of our readers, and promise
them, in tbo meantime to prepare for
entering on the new year with renewed
vigor and impiovcmcnt in every depart
m;ntof our “Journal.”

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.

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.

Messrs. 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

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

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

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

Why are they worked at hane? Be

it was the cotton of the South, and

Metropolis of the Western hemisphere.

all northern cities, have thus been led
and sustained. Tho goose his year

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.

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-

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
