Dickinson, a native of Kentucky, now a citizen of Morristown, Tennessee. Upon his en trance the pen fell from our hand, we gave onr little self np, and to him we sur rendered, and assured him that dur ing his stay we were ready to do his biding He was our acquaintance and friend of long ago. We knew him in his native State and partook of his hospitalities at his home. He was our co-laborer and co-sufferer in all of our Confederate trials. He was exiled from his lovely homo, driven with his family to an adjoining State, away from their friends, to sojourn among strangers until the great war issue should be determined. He sacrificed all for the cause, and the cause was lost. But with his honesty of purpose and energy of character, he soon commenced to build up. And now on account of the loveliness of this climate, he seriously contemplates becoming a citizen of Southern Georgia. We hope if he should decide to locate here that he will never regret his decision, we can assure the citizens that he and his family will be valuable accession* to so ciety. Mr. Dickinson’s life long business has been that of hotel keeping, and we say in a word that he possesses ever characteristic that qualifies a man for the position. He will follow that business if he locates in Georgia, We have two houses well kept, no complaint to make against them; but should a change be made, it would be gratifying to us to see Mr. Dickinson the successor to the retiring one. Spring and Summer goods at lowest prices now being recieved. Call early ami secure tile latest styles at Karros's New York Stoke. Juh to Salt the Timet, and to meet the wants of the people, the senior Mabbett, of the firm of Briggs, Jelks 4 Cos., sliped off without telling any j ■one, not even his wife, where he was going, ! or what he was going for; and the first ev idence we hod of his wliereubonts, was boxes of all sizes and shapes, hogsheads, barrels, crates, etc., etc., marked Briggs, Jelks 4 Cos., rolling in every morning nnd the stentorian voice of the indefatigable Ben, the drayman, announcing tho arrival of more goods for Briggs, Jelks & Cos. Hear ing these sounds and seeing these sights, we concluded to go iu and see for ourselves, and sure enough the drawerswero filled,the shelves jamed, the counters loaded with bolts of domestics and prints, tables im provised groaning under the weight and burthen of the mighty piles of bolts of furnishing goods. Their stock of ladies hats, like all other seasons are large and of the latest and most fashionable styles. Theii goods are bought for cash and at tho very lowest figures, and they can afford to sell at lees prices than evi r offered in the mar ket, for cash or produce at market prices. The reflecting citizen must know that the wholesale merchant wlioselln on time in cludes the interest, the expenses of trav eling agents to collect, and then adds a large per cent, to cover probable losses. It is just a ? clear that the retail merchant who buys on time and promises to pay time prices, and sells on time, must regu late his sales by the prices paid or prom ised to be paid, and must add a large per cent, to cover probable losses and ex penses of collection. So the merchants favor to the planter in the spring is the planters ruin in the fall. We would sug gest to the planters to purchase just what he can pay for and purchase where they can afford to sell it cheapest. Fresh goods Just received, which were bought, at panic prices, and will he sold the same way Call early and secure the cheapest goods yet sold. No humbug. At Kaytov'k New Yoke Stoke. The Hi'lonlan Tableaux of Paradise [sat as exhibited by Mr. Smith, on Wednesday and Thursday evenings, given for the ben efit of the Methodist Church at Quitman, was well attended. Many of the scenes are beautiful and impressive, while they are the fruits of a strained imagination and wrought in the highest artistic skill, they aio nevertheless solemnly impressive. Such exhibitions are highly entertaining and instructive and should be patronized. We think all that attended were pleased. Fleas are numerous in Quitman, and very well developed, at night they are thin, ac tive and voratious, in the morning they are roue ler, less energetic, looking like topers which have been sipping of that which givetk its color in tho cup.

BEAD THIS EVERYBODY I A NARRATIVE OF MILITARY OPERATIONS DIRECTED BY PEN. TOSFI’H E. JOHNSTON DURING THE tAfK WAR. This book, written by General Johustmi, is now offered to tho public, and will doubtless prove one of the most tbrillingly interesting works over offered to the Southern public, and particularly to the Southern soldiers that was under his com mand. Though concisely written, it em braces every material fitr.t in regard to his operations. To his soldier boys it will nwaken many sad as well as pleasing reminiscences. It will turn back the pagos of memory and present vividly to the recollection the many battlefields, the many comrades and co-sufferers that fell and is no more; the many hard conflicts, the weary marches through min and shine, cold and heat; and the croakers behind the army and out of danger should carefully read his truthful statement, and iu it behold the imbecility of their criti cisms and their wanton and unjustifiable persecutions of this great commander. This book is now offered by Mr. O. T. Terry, onr townsman and fellow citizen, tho agent for the publishers, who will sell it at publishers prices. We take pleasure in recommending it to onr readers as a correct history of the war, as to tho operations conducted by the author. It will prove an interesting nnd valuable history nnd one that will fa'll rapidly. Call at once nnd see Mr. Terry, and examine tho prospectus and subscribe at once.

Hovr Postal Contract* arc Made. It appears that the Post Offioo Depart ment needs overhauling as well us some of tho other departments of the government, for permitting a most outrageous swindle to be perpetrated on tho postal service. The St. Paul (Minn.) Dispatch prints some astounding facts relative to the contracts on postid routes iu the West, held by C. O. Huntley. Tho Dispatch claims that, at the outset, Huntley, by the aid of some Washington confederates, filched from tho fi ! es some old petitions from Montana, out off the names and attached them to a peti tion for a postal rotito from Missoula, Mi li‘aim, toWul’u Walla, Washington Ter ritory, four hundred and fifty miles, through a wilderness without settlers, ami g<t the contract at $20,744 per annum, which was subsequently increased to $62,- 432 per annum. Huntley immediately sublet the ooutri ct at $14,900, and pocketed $50,000 a year for six year, tho mail matter sent over the route not exceeding eight letters and pprse: oh m til. Ho next obtained route 41,181, trom lieltou, Utah, to the Dallas, W. TANARUS., 750 miles, daily trips, at $224,000 per annum. His last operation was getting route 42,101, from Boise City to Winnenjuccft, Nev., 580 milos, at $77,- 000, of which SOB, (KM) is clear profit. Huntloy’s account With tho government stands tlius; Route 43,127 $ 248,928 Route 42,101 308, 000 Route 31,131 .... 896,000 Total receipts $1,462,928 actual oo err. Route 43.127 $ 56,000 Route 42,101 60,000 Route 41,131 240, IKK) Total cost $356,000 In four years’time Huntley has pock eted $1,090,628 from these routes, and now lias other routes under way. In view of such facts as these, it is little less than ap palling to consider the fact that Mr. Ram sey not long since introduced a bill to es tablish post routes, and when interrogated as to the necessity for them, confessed he didn't know anything about it. Mt. Huntley’s operations may also kolp to ac count for the fact that the expenses of the Postal Department increased from $15,- 000,000, iu 1866, to $37,000,000, in 1873. A Dissolving Party. Men in such a crisis as the present are nothing save os indexes of a system. It is not General Butler, nor Mr. Casey, nor Mr. Bimmoys, nor Mr. Sanborn, but j the policy of which they are tho represen tatives. This policy is the burden that is breaking the back of tlio Republican party. The Credit Mobilier was the first blunder, because it put the whole party on the defensive, and weakened public confidence in many of the leaders of both sides. Then came the dangerous practice | of making appointments only to please Congressmen and Senators, in utter defiance of the public will. Service not for the party, but for a politician, flattery of power, not competency for office, were the word to ollico. Experienced men were driven to retirement by jobbers and speculators. Corrupt Legis latures in tho States and dishonest local governments, illustrated by tho sudden wealth of the worst characters, led to a finnl consolidation of the officeholders and their dependents against the great body of tho people everywhere. It is vain to denounce men as long as the system is allowed to re main. Massachusetts feels the burden and i resolves to throw it off. Ponsylvania Ims j borne it for years, nnd every independent ! Republican in the State has protested against it; but so far in vain. There is not a Republican paper in Philadelphia to day that has not denounced it. But the present power of the combination is greater than it has ever been; m vr hostile general danger been so imminent; and yet, as if to prove this statement, never lias tho sub mission to this despotism been so com plete. The chains are drawn so tight nnd riveted so close that the victims are afraid to groan, and so purchase relief by praises of their oppressors. President Grant docs not hesitate to denounce the reckless men who are bankrupting the South. Senator Carpenter declares against the wretched administration of Louisiana, and Mr. Dawes points to the decreasing revenues and increasing debt of the general govern ment, — Philadelphia Press. A New Idea About Comet*, A paper was read before tho Hackney Scientific Association oh January Ist by Mr. Koovor, advancing an entirely new theory with regard to comets; and by the use of diagrams, lie showed that the part of the comet termed the tail, being always in a direction from the sun and therefore as often in advance as behind the nucleus, is not really a tail. That as comets are transparent, and all matter is known to be either solid, liquid or gaseous, comets must be the latter, lor solids and liquids are opaque. That the only known power by which this gaseous matter can be held together Is gravity, which must necessari ly have a center, and, every part of the body being free to move, resolves itself into a sphere, the center of which is in many cases exceedingly dense, gradually attenuating toward the circumference. That the rays of the sun are refracted in their passage through the spherical comet, thus luminating the position beyond the center or nnclueus, which illumination forms the tail. He then explained all the various and peculiar phenomena of com ets, such as their shapes, colors, horns, nuclei, as well as their being with and without tails, etc.; and that they are en tirely in accordance with the universal laws of nature. Cedar. There are but few of our readers, ont side of Tampa, aware of the fact that the manufactories of cedar pencils in Germany and other European countries are in debted to the Florida coast for the supply of most of their material; yot such is un doubtedly the fact. The cedar is gotten out and hauled to Tampa in the shape of nicely hewn logs, some ten feet in length, worth on an average 50 cents per square foot. This timber is then Shipped to New York, sawed into small slips, cedar pencil length, thence sent to Europe. In the ante helium days there was a large mill at Cedar Keys m active operation sawing this cedar, but the proprietor dying, the work was suspended. At this moment the cedar mill there is doing nothing, for the reason that the man to whom it is leased awaits suitable machinery from the north. There are a number of boxes packed with sawn cedar lying out in the weatuer near the mill, some of which are broken open and the contents scattered to rot. The cedar logs as hauled in by the farmers, are in piles about the town and in heaps along the river. The cedar forests up the river are almost inexaustible, though in the swampy hammocks causeways have to be built to facilitate the getting out of the cedar. ~o Abn he? ’y found a i hnwl-piu in a cow he was cutting up into steaks. It fs supposed the animal had swallowed a milk maid. General Gordon being ou a visit to R chmond, the Virginia Senate, ou Tues day, appointed a, committee of three to wait ou tho distinguished soldier and Sen ator and invito him to a privileged seat on •the floor of the Stnato during liia sojourn iu the city.

Ho who relatives a good turn should never forget it; he avho does one, should never remembdr it. Never allow yourself to bo idle whilst others are iu want of anything that your hands can make for them.

So you are taking lessons in drawing, Sallio ?” ' “YeM.iUinl the teacher says I am an apt pupil, as I draw more inferences, insinuation■!, admirers,and allowances than any girl in the academy.” Wo are sent to the ant for industry; to the l>'on for valor; to tho dovo for inno cence: to the rerjieiit for wisdom; but for humility unto God himself, as an attribute more peculiar to his excellence.

These are good rules for all nnd any depar ture from them'is attended by evil conse -1,11 ’UCCS. There is an old story that St. Potor, when revisiting earth, was obliged, amid the multitudinous changes on every hand, to have a guide through most of Europe, hut on entering Spain he dismissed him; for here, said the saint, everything is just as I left it. An editor, who has been keeping a re cord of big tieete, announces at last that ‘‘the beet that beat the beet that beat the other beets is n6w beaten by a beet that beats all the Ixiets, whether tho original beet, the beet that beat tho beet or the beet that beat the beet that beat tho beet.” A naughty little boy, blubbering beenuse his mother wouldn’t let him go down to the river on Sunday, upon being admon ished, said: want to go a swirn miu’ with Vp, mp,,,! only wanted to go down to Bee,Jthi4.t)iid little boys drown for going in a swimtniu’ on n Sunday.” The ladies ofDetroit exhibit rather moro zeal in the temperance movement than their sisters of other cities. A fond moth er whose darling son looked ou the wine until he hadn’t, “nary red,” went to see the saloon keeper with a heart overflowing with prayers. Her appeal was passionate, and though it didn’t sound exactly like a prayer, she had the main words in. And then she gently stroked tho hair of that erring whisky dealer with a dray pin, nnd cracked his bottles, and beat in iiis casks. Such, O woman, is the efficacy of prayer. A city colporteur engaged in distribut ing tracts among the poor benighted ones about town, mot with an amusiug incident, poming to an isolated building of humble pretensions, he opened tho door without the cerciyouy of knocking, saying : “Will you accept a tract of the holy land ?" i meaning the four pages of tho letter-press | ho had iu his hand. The man of the house ! instantly replied; “Yes, be jabers 1 a \ whole section, if you give me a good title. But I’d like to know if there be in neb fe ver ’n ague tinge to bother a poor devil ?” The colporteur retreated. L EGA IArIJ)I Ar lJ) VJCJtTISEMKNTS. To Tax Payers.
