In order to get our paper to the offices

f.,r Wi■ have done our work faithfully;
we tinya accomodated and indulged you, j
and v ith worse than Radical, negro mean
ness you withhold from ns the recompense I
of reward. Come Pi ns no more with your I
long faced approvals and expressions of
apprei-iatim of our denouneiation of crimes
and viiliauy in others, for we lmvo no hes
itancy in saying, and publishing to the
world, that Iho hundreds and hundreds of
men who subscribed and promised to pay
n*. and now owe us two, three sud four
dollars, ami refuse or neglect to pay ns,
would, if the opportunity to hsd offered,

don.t intend this as a dun, hut to put yon

excuse when you are summoned to answer

FLORIDA.
Sinno w* have been coniipotetl with jour
nalism, our warmest sympathy linn been
with tlm people of Florida, ami among our
highest hopes and greatest anxieties were
those to see her raise her majestic and
heuutihil self above the tidal wave of car
pet-baggers and plunderers, ami thieves,
to the manor born, and take a high, inde
pendent and prosperous stand among the
State* of the Union. Her resources have
been cramped, her energies have been par
alyzed, her people have been robbed,
plundered, humiliated uud disheartened.
And the corrupt Federal Government, that
should have been to her in her weakness
and oppression, a fostering mother, did not
only look on with indifference nt the out
rages perpetrated upon one of her young-1
eat children, but, with barbarian enmity, ;
aided and encouraged the army of thieves
and refugees from justice in their ravishing
and hellish designs, while her child, in
vain, pitifully cried for help. But, thunk
tdnd, her man) of night has past, the dark
ness i, disappearing and the day is dawn
ing, end the hi id of liberty has oarreled one
of her sweetest notes.
Now, on joint ballot in the Legislature,
she Una a large majority, and has elected
a United States Senator; and, at the next i
ole-lii ii for Governor, will whip Radical 1
Stearns into mince-pie. But now aho lias
anew carpet-bagger to contend with, who!
is tins most subtle of all the beasts of the i
party, Ute chief of demagogues, a polities! 1
all ! religions hypocrite: formerly a preach- 1
er in a negro church iu Charleston, South i
Carolina. There he applied for admission 1
into the South (Juroliua Conference, mid
was refused. He then came to Georgia,
and was assigned to the charge of the First 1
-Street Methodist Church, iu Macon, and l
was for aw hile quite an acceptable pastor,
lint the south-east winds brought iutelli- j
gence from Charleston that he was a Radi
cal carpet-bagger; all of which, with the
brazen-faced imptiiK'iice of his father, the
devil, he denied, and alHrmed liis inno
. cnee. Wo would make no attack upon
this man, ns a preacher, on account of po
litical sentiments, if ho laid been consist
ent and trtithfnl, but iu this lie has not
been, aud is entitled to no credit for ve
racity either iu religion or politics. In
Gil or lento n, be was as good a Bad. as the
negroes wanted; iu Georgia, a Democrat
of the Simon-pure grade. In South Caro
lina, the Itad.s were iu the ascendancy, !
and he was, religiously, a Radical. Iu
> ieorgia, Democracy was iu the ascendan
cy. and carpet buggers and scalawags were j
! old by all good people iu utter contempt,
.hit Hicks, in his subtlety, was fully up to .
the emergency, mid.We was, religiously, ai
spotless and pore Democrat. But there
was no visible o, eniug for bis political
promotion in Georgia, and bis demagogi
onl. political aspirations carried him to
Florida, where, in six mouths, he was
elected by the negroes and the thieves,
bow had taken refuge iu that section of
<i K sr,utility, Pi llit State Senate as a gen-
nine, negro-loving Radical from South 1
Carolina, and is now iu the full confidence (
of the Radical Governor, and holding a 1
high position by hia appointment, and ma- j
king speeches to asaemhlages of negroes,
in the interest of Htearna., for re-election. I
Now, we are anxious to find the man, <
either Democrat or Radical, o Christian
gentleman, that can have any confidence
in Hicks as a private man, or a politician,
or a Christian minister, and, when we have
found him, we propone to cage and ship
him to Rarnum by express, to be exhibited
with the other animats of notoriety in Id*
wonderful menagerie, ns the WORLD'S
WONDER. But Hicks’ career will end
with fen-urn*’ administration, and that will
be at tlio close of this term. Now, we will
dismiss this Hypocrite.
| We have no doubt but that in the next
two years thousands of true and good men
will settle iu Florida, with ample cspltel
i to develop her reaonrees, and make her
I wlmt she i* of right—the Eden of America.
| We see a number of Battering editorials
1 and communications to respectable jour
j null in the North and North-west that will
liuve a tendency to turn the tido of iromi
: gratiou to thut beautiful and lively country.

I* Baptism Indispensable to "Salvation ?
Quitman, April 20, 1875.
Editor Claliuher's Indej/endent:
My friend, with whoso difficulties I feci I
a keen sympathy, I fear will not be lunch
aided by my fiuundeiing method, to him
so unsatisfactory, of unking question* and
seeking after a right conclusion. But a
fellow-feeling is said to make u* wondrous
kind; and 1 shall at least make this, one
more trial, to clear up my own uud “E
-(juirer’s" ideas on the question under con
sideration. I was clearly understood in
one point—that is, neither to assert, nor
deny the dogma under question.
The “vast distinction" in the words, es
sential and indispensable, your Querist lms
not been able to sec; and, upon consulting
Webster, (recognized as high nnthqrity up
on the import of the English language,) my
! vision is still more obscured, for he defines
the one word by the other: “Essential Ist
Necessary or indispensable to the existence
! or constitution of a thing." Now, Webster
i must have fallen into an error inadvertently,
or by following too servilely tho teachings
of those who hod preceded him.
Tiro “vast distinction,” which certainly
exists, escaped his notice, and “Euquirer,”
! no doubt, will take pleasure iu making the
| distinction apparent, even to the feeble
i vision of his unfortunate Querist.
When this shall bo done, it will then be
easy to understand what now seems so
j strange—that is, that in one sentence, my
friend says, “I believe it to be a duty es
sential, Ac.," oml, in the very next, says,
“Now, don't understand me as saying that
litis indispensable." Then, too, we shall
I be able to understand how it is that “its
: essentiality depends upon circumstances,”
' and also, how it is that, by reason of bap
j tism, your sins are pardoned, without which
| pardon yon cannot lie saved. From this,
| it will be seen why it is that "Enquirer"
thinks me so deficient in the understand
ing of the meaning of terms. “People who
live in glass houses should not throw
stones.”
Ono query I would like to be answered;
it is this: When “Enquirer” says, “Now,
don’t understand mo as saying that it is
i indispensable,” does lie mean that lie ad
mits that it is dispensable ?
I take no notice as yet of the argument
I from scripture suggested by “Enquirer,"
1 yuly because I wish us to know clearly
what wo arc trying to find out, before we
start on the hunt. If we do not agree upon
that, we may not help each other at all. I
shall wait with much anxiety for the point
ing out of that “vast distinction.” The
testimony of the sacred volumes, to the
examination of which I trust we both
shall bring the most devout candor nnd
humility, is the only thing that can settle
onr difference, if any exist, or remove the
darkness from our minds on the query nt
the bead of this article. In the hope that
the light of that truth may penetrate and
illumine the mind of both of us, allow me
to subscribe myself your perplexed
Querist.
A Respecter of Neither President nor
Peasant.
If Grant is drinking whiskey in the de
gree and amount that some of the Wash
ington letter writers indicate, it will not
take the good ninu long to get to the end
of lus tether. Whatever may bo said
against whiskey, there is one true thing
that mny be alleged iu its behalf, to-wit:
that it is no respecter of person. Whoever
knocks cold spirits hard—whether prince,
president! priest or peasant— will have to
answer for it assure as lightniug. We
know a great many men in various capac
ities as to strength uud endurance, nnd of
diversified mental gifts aud powers; but we
never knew anybody, and never expect to
know anybody, who could get the best of
whiskey in the long ruff. Sometimes a
fellow of unusual bottom appears to lie get.
ting away with John Barleycorn very
handsomely aud creditable; but old John
comes smiling to the front every time, ns
he did iu the days when three kings of the
east swore that he should die, and he lays
out the braggarts aud toss-pots who vain
ly imagined that they had him at a disad
vantage. Therefore, we argue, if Grant
is really drinking ns the newspaper corres
pondents say (and they sometimes do tell
the troth), he will soon repose with the
tips of his toes amd the end.of his illumi
nated nose turned up to the roofs of the
daisies; It will ben good tiling for the
country, aud may successfully answer that
puzzling conundrum which has so long
vexed the renders of this paper as to w hat
was the thing that killed a kiug aud drove
a wise man mad.

solved in a quart of tepid w ater is good

is ou the ‘Home Place' of Judge G. M.
l Stokes, one of the most successful planters
; iu Georgia, who, previous to sowing the
, turnips, had made on the ground a fine
crop of cotton. The Judge informed ns
that he had other smaller patches than the
one we here mention.
“These turnip patches have been planted
more for the sake of seed than tueir ad

"After the turnip seed are gathered, the
land will be highly manured and thorough
