Christmas—that eventful day, time
honnred ns a holiday ly white and
in this country—with its fulfill
ment of anticipated to some, and
its disappointments to ethers—has
passed. The week of merriment to the
light-hearted, and ci more solid com
fort to those who properly apprreiate
the great event in commemoration of
which the 25th is observed, is now roll
ing farther and farther into eternity cn
Time’s restless wheels. While to the
juveniles it was hut the annual visita
tion of “Santa Claus,” and glcesorao
frivolity, it was to older minds, a time
for serims thought in regard to our
temporal affairs—an ira in the history
of our section. It was a timo for the
serious reckoning of the affairs of sixty
six--weighing the outlays and tho in
comes—the surplus ard tho deficits—
and fixing upon a [ lan for improvement
on the operations of the past during
the incoming year.

and the same period in years gone by,
was As dill-rent status of the negro,
Time was when there was little care to
disturb the mind of Sambo or Dina.
Though the basinets of a twelve-month
hrd betn wound up, there was meat in
“ole massa's” smoke-house, and corn in
his barn to meet the demands of an
other year. If sickness had visited
them during the year, there was some
body to defray the medical expeedi-ure*,
and come what m’ght dur rg the year
coming in, there was somebody beside
themselves to meet its mis'ortunes, sup
ply the deficiencies of a short crop, and
battle with the fluctuations of the money
supply.
But things lave charged • and with

and halting between doubts and fears
of the propriety or justice of bis own

a year in a close drawer of the Bureau.
But then, it is the decision of the
oword. We Lave accepted the issue—
let us do our duty in the promises. We
alone can practically benefit the negro

Ttm ]>uaUl of KUh >p Elliott,
of Uenrgia.
Stephen El iot, Bishop of Georgia,
died at Savannah, Georgia, on Friduy
night, lie had just returned from a
brief visit to tho interior in tho dis
charge of his Episcopal functions.
lie left tlio cars in apparently perfect
health, and soou after reaching Savan
nah, expired, doubtless from botut die
ease.
The deceased wus born ut Beaufort,
S. C , in 180 C, and was consequently
sixty years of age at the time of his
death. He graduated at Harvard
College in 1824, and after several years
spent in travel and study, was ordained
a deacon of tho Protestant Episcopal
Church in 1835, and n priest in the
following year. Boon after this last
! ordination lit was appointed to a pro
fessor, hip of sacred literature in tho
Bouth Carolina College, in which ca
pacity he continued until 1840, when
he was elected Bishop of the diocese
of Georgia, end io February, 1841,
was conseeratod. During tho past
twenty hvo years Bishop Elliott, be
came known to tho people of United
States for his great abilities, and ora
torical powers. Without possessing
the fascinating manners ol Beeeltor,
there was nevertheless, a foreo of ox
pression in his lar.guago, and an apt
ness in bis similies, that made bin a
deservedly popular preacher. Ys a
humorist the Bishop wus well known,
many of his sallies being current say
ings in Georgia and South Carolina.
With a large majority of the Sou’hern
clergy, tho deceased espoused the doc
trine of secession, and gave to the
South his fullest support. After the
closo of the war ho made a trip to the
North, collecting funds in behalf of
tho poor of his section, and was very
successful! in his efforts The private
character of Bi-hop El iott was pure,
and was recognize! throughout the
country as uniting the strides' integ
rity with tho most charitable consider
ations. His death will be greatly la
mented by the Episcopalians through
out the United States in general.

by the Czar, did that Potentate not
fear that his design on Constantinople
would excite the interference of Eng

war is inaugurated the million and a
half of French soldiers, the troops of
Italy, and the legions of Austria, will
give M. Bismarck more troublo than

Another Indian UluMarre.
It ccems from the following dispatch
from the West, that the trouble with ,
the red sboriginr es is not yet at an end.
And it is a matter of surprise to us that
tho “greatest government under the ,
sun,” can spare troops to scatter over j
the mest civil'zed, portions of the coun- j
try, while a few hundred Indians are j
allowed to disturb the peace of one sec
tier, and massacre the small garrisons j
of the government troops. It is one
of the natural fruits however, of the
inevitable ruinous policy of that Radi
cal majority, which is not only deter
mined to “rule or ruin,” hut to rule
and ruin both. Here is the dispatch :

The excitement now became in

signed to their fate, but evert counte

self possession. Indue of thej vess-1
the stoves toppled, and it was by tbe
u'most effirts ol tne commander and
others that the vessel was saved from
burning up. There was an alarm of
fire, but tbe flames were extinguished.
At 10 o’clock the tires were all put out
and danger front that source av idod
for two hour*.
The vessel drifted at tho mercy of
the waves, the captain nod crew being
successful only in keeping her headed
nearly South. The flood ti le setting
her tow ards tho Long Island shore at'
2a. m., Horton's Point was made.— |
The gale continued without abatement
and she gradually drifted into a little
bay about two nnles West of Horton
Point. Light Anchors were then drop
ped in about two fathoms o' water.—
Part of the cargo had been thrown
overboard. The pumps were kept con
s'antly at work, at tho same time two
lines of buffers were formed and did
service.
In this condition the boat lay until
daylight, when tho water gained so
rapidly that it wai decide! to beach
the vessel, which was done mo t suc
cessfully. Tho gale soon became still
more ferocious, if such were possible.
Tue life-boats were lowered, and one
was finally landed in the breakers.-
Soon a line was got ashore. The boats
were manned and controlled until sev
eral loads of passengers, comprising
the whole, were salt ly landed. The
vessel afterwards broke to peices.

Whiskey Frauds.
Ninty millions of gallons of whiskey
were made in tho United States in 1860
ace irding tj tho coosus, while the last
report if the Ilovenus Commit.:ionns
returned but ten millions. This enor
mous deficit noy is not to be accountid
for by any decrease in cither demand or
supply, but sol ly by the tact that the
tax on whi.-key is now two dollars a gal
lon. The special committee which Con
gress appoit tod to invcstlgut the frauds
in the lieveiiuo Department has work
enough before it; for even i( we tuppo.c
that tbe tax has decreased tho manufac
tory of whiskey thirty millions of gal
lons since 1860, there would still l e
cause to suspect that the Treasury fcas
been defaulted of $100,000,000. All
j 'hat wo have published of the frauds iu
i this city is notbiug compared to those
j undiscovered ; yet the oommittco has
[ learned that there are
three thousand small distilleries in this
city where whiskey is illegally male,
1 nod that Government iffloers protect
the swindle. To complete ils investi
gation here the committee will reassem
ble in New York in January, and will
, afterward visit the principle Wcs
! tern cilies. The work seems as endless
as that or the Dauaides; lut even the
j imperfect investigation, which we all
I can reasonable expect, w ill save millions
Jof dollars. Os more permanent impor
tance is the effort the “comrnittae will
make to recognize the revenue syst<m,
sobs to prevent future fraud; but the
decussion of the methods proposed is
premature before their work is done and
their report submitted to Congress.

Important Decision.
We copy the following from the
Montgomery Mail of the 7th :
The first case on docket this morning
was that of A. SakraeiMor vt William
B. Ilall, on the following (acts. Dur
ing the war tho plain iff purchase! from
tho defendant seventeen thousand
pounds of cotton, for which be paid
Ilall in Ciinfede r ate money, Hall obli
gating himself to deliver the cot'on to
p>l..iotiff. This be failed to do, and tho
plaintiff now brings this action to
i compel the delivery of the cotton so
| purchased. The p'ainliff pleaded that
! Confederate money was not a valid or
j legal consideration, and hence ho could
not be compelled to make the delivery.
To thi“ plea the pdaindff demurred.
The Court after argument over ruled
the demurrer, and decided that, tho plea
!of the defendant was good and he
should not bo compelled to make tbe
i delivery.
I He nee the broad doctrine is laid
! down in the District Courts of Alaba
! in:', that Confederate money is not n
valid or legal consideration. This d>
'ci in vast y aff.c’s a number of finan -
cial opela'i >ns iu the State.
* Messrs- Chilton and Thoringr,on ap
peared for Sikffieistcr, aid Messrs
I VY’atts and Tyler for tee defendant.
It may be proper to add, that the cot.
ton stipulated to be delivered was burnt
by tho Federal forers; this in no wise
affected the legal d-te. ruination of the
suit, however.
The Price of Cotton —A rood
au hority estimates the want of the
world at 5,500,000 bales. Putting
down the South f r 2,000,000 bales—
whieh is above the mars—tho East
Indies for 600,000, Egypt for 800,000,
and Brazil for 130,000 bales, gives a
supplv of only 3,030,000 bales. Set
ting tho stocks on hand at the begin
ning f f the year against the stocks
that w ill be on hand at the close, we
have then a deficiency of 2,000.000
bales. The price of cotton must ad
vance, and it will probably advance,
more inproportion than the lack of sup
ply would seem at fiist night to require
It is considered erroneous to suppose
tint tho price ofun article of consump
tion advances in the proportion that
the supply recedes If tho supply of
flour, for instance, wore to diminish
one half, the efiket wou’d to to raise
the price more than double. Some
think it is more fair to presume that
it would be quadruppled in uurket
value. Be that as it may, cotton must
advance, provided the currency re
mains as it is.

We the unde: signed ladie 4 of Griffin, beg
leave to express through your columns, iur
sympathy for our esteemed friend Mrs. 1,. R
Brewer, and hereon, William H. Brewer.—
No lady occupies a higher position in society
than slie has always done. Kind and bem vi
olent in her disposition, ever ready and will
ing to sympathise and administer to the coin
forlsof those who are in distress. For four
long yea r s she devoted most of he.* timo and
energies to the cause which her heart was so
much attached. She was untiring in her el
forts to promote the comfort and happiness ol
our suffering soldiers. To hear of their suf
ferings always'ouched a tender cord in her
heart, and had a tendency to increase her el -
ergies. As the aimies were moving down
upon u", “he was always at her pos’, day and
nigh', ready to do her du'y.
Although in moderate circumstances she
never was known to receive any compensa
tion for her labors. The reflection that she
was administering to tire wants and comforts
of the sick and wounded soldier-, who wi re
battleing for the South, was sufficient fer hrr
licr labors were a frre offering, always with
out money and without price. Her house was
often filled with the sick and wounded. What
adds to her grii sand mortification is tire re-
H ction that the recent sad occurrence in
Dawson was brought about by an unfounded
repo t That bet sen had deserted tire riumh
in her stiutgle for 1 berty. 7he war baa end
ed and st ill she proTes her devotion to her
country by her untiriugp ffurts to perpetuate
the names and memory of those who sacrific
ed their lives in the d-fence of our late Con
federacy. While li e trial of her son was go
ing on she with two others were busily engag
ed at Lovejoyr station, to look after the graves
of our brave aud noble soldiers who fell in bat
tle, for the purpose of having their remains
removed and placed io our Cemetery. No
family injlhe South according to their means,
has done more for their Country than Mrs.
L. R. Brewer’s. There has been no abate
menl in her feelings for tho cause of the
South and learning that Mr. Martin was a good
soldier, she deeply sympathises with hi* rela
tions and fr'ends.
