SATURDAY. NOVEMIiEn *U. 173.
One More Orntle Hint.
To our subscribers vre have once again
to say that our own burthens in these
hours of financial darkness is all wo can
bear.- Wo have labored hard with our
(only) hand and head, late and early since
our paper started, bearing patiently the
heavy expenses incidental to the publica
tion of a Weekly journal. Well do you
know that wo commenced the publica
tion of The Isdepkndbjit at that season of
the year when money was scarce and an
immediate demand for every dollar in the
country to carry on the planting interest.
Staring these difficulties in the face, we
agreed to shoulder the responsibility of
furnishing you Tub I’tdrpkndent through
the spring, summer and early fall months,
until yonr harvest time should eoine, and
you had garnered tho rewards of your toil.
Do you remember ? Can you have forgotten
bow faithfully we have kept our pledge ?
We earnestly tell you that through the
heated lanes of spring, summer and au
tumn the bnrthen was heavy; now winter’s
wet and muddy lanes are opening up before
us and your burthen which we have so long
borne is growing heavier and we are
growing weaker, and now we appeal to
you once more not to take our burthen,
lmt simply relieve us of the part we have
borne of yours and for you. Is this re-
quest unreasonble?C.ui you longer treat us
with indifference ? Have you once thought
how meagre the sum to each subscriber is,
and yet how considerable in the aggregate?
Have you ever thought of our watchful
ness of your interest’s, our vindication, of
your rights, and advocacy of your claims,
our warning’s of coming dangers, our
vigilcnce in shielding you from tho pes
tilence that walk in darkness. Has the
Bounding of our trumpet heralded from
the political watch towers died away, and
ceased to vibrate, warning you of tiro vil
lains and tricksters that were endeavoring
to invade your civil and political rights
and rob you—not only of your haul earn
ings, but your honor ? If you have forgot
ten nil these things, God pity your sense j
of honor. Now, dear delinquent reader, I
we have this to say to you in all candor: j
We would bear your burthen longer if we
could, but we cannot. Now if you are
able to pay, do it like honorable men. If
you have not been pleased with The In
dependent let us know that fact, and you
shall read in the following issue a full ae
qnitance from all indebtedness. If you
are too poor to pay, let us know that fact,
and we, in self defence, will stop your pa
per, for we are not able to furnish it to a
world of paupers. In conclusion, we
promise our readers that eur next issue
will contain rut allusion to delinquent.sub
scribers, but in the one following, to all
such our closing remarks will be made.
All otir goods marked down cheap. Don't be
lieve what is told you bv other merchants and in- |
terestert parti* •<, but ‘all and act.* for yourselves j
bow well von can do at
Kavton s New Youk Store.
Dropping; Off.
It will be seen that quite a number of j
our Savannah advertisers are dropping i
off, we presume from the fact that they j
don’t care to trade with our people; at :
least, that they don’t wish to court the j
trade of Southern Georgia and Middle ;
Florida. In fact, but few of tho busi- j
ness men of Savannah advertise in any of !
the papers in Southern Gwir''ia. They
doubtless think that this portion of the
State is a tributary to Savannah that can’t
be iliverbal,ami therefore it needs no effort
to retain the trade. We think in that,
that Savannah may bo mistaken, and that
she will most probably feel the effects of
her indifference. Macon is almost as near
nud all the supplies that our people want
can he obtained as cheap or cheaper with
lio more cost iff transportation. Macon is
wanting in enterprise. A few active, en
ergetic, fair dealing houses, with the prop
er efforts could control almost the entire
trade of Southern Georgia. There is such
a thing as towns, like individuals, getting
too big for their breeches, and too ready
to conclude that everybody and everything
must come their way; and, as a general
rule, they discover when injured by their
own swells, that there are other places and
people and other legitimate channels of
trade; and when Savannah learns the
fact that she has formidable competition
in the city of Macon, she will take a more
lively interest in her customers and the
section of country that is geographically
her rightful tributary. We have as sol
vent merchants and as prompt paying
ones as any town in Georgia, and their
trade is worth as much to city jobbers as
the merchants of any other town in the
State—for the territory they supply is
large, and their customers numerous and
solvent, who will stand by their merchants,
although, ou account of the panic in mon
ey matters, they have not been able to pay
up. They have their cotton and will pay,
and our merchants will be perfectly easy
if their creditors will be patient until the
planters can sell their crops, they will be
assured of the full adjustment of their
claims. Therefore, we think the trade of
our merchants is worth courting, and job
bers of Savannah need not be so sanguine
of retaining their trade as to believe they
can treat them indifferently with impu
nity. We think some, if not all, of our
merchants are in a better conditiou than
the merchants of Savannah, for some of
ours can afford to advertise and are well
able to pay for it.

Great bargains, cheap goods, full stock at
Hatton's New Youk Spoke.
Oar Visit to Kuvnmuth.
On Sunday night, tho 15th inst., not
withstanding the darkness of the night and
the pitiless rain that was falling in torrents,
wo wended oar way to the depot to take
passage for Savannah. On entering the
curs we found several of our own citizens,
•whose destination was the same, but the
object of their visit quite different from
ours. Tho train from Quitman to Val
dosta was pretty well filled with the legal
fraternity from Thomasvillo and Quitman.
Whether the engine wms burthoned with the
weight of legal ability or not, I will leave
it to speak for itself, or select its own
oracle. They all looked cheerful, and
seemed to feel happy in anticipation of fat
things at Valdosta, bnt hoping in the
event of a failure in the fee crop to borrow
from each other, to pay out and get home.
They are all still there, with the exception
of 001. Bennett, who returned last week
and could not be induced to go back this
week. We don’t know whether he was
afraid he would have to loan, or couldn’t
borrow. So, when we reached Valdosta
at or about ten o'clock, tlie above-named
class of individuals was turned out in tho
wet and dark to hunt cheap board without
a lantern. While their company was very
agreeable, we found their room much more
convenient, for then we could lay down
on four or five seats at a time, provided wo
had sufficient length and breadth, and
there was none to make us afraid; so, we
appropriated as many as we could reach,
and the rocking of tho cars and the buz of
the falling min lulled us into a profound
sleep—the first time we have ever slept on
a train—and while we slept there was a
fearful storm that frightened the natives
and terrified tho passengers, as we have
since learned; but still we slept undis
turbed. Even though all was frightened
there was not one to wake us, for they
were faithless in our ability' to control the
winds, and in that they were rigid, for the
winds are exceeding contrary in the
Oknfenokeo swamp. Brother Christian,
of the Thomasvilie Times, was on board,
and whether he suffered or enjoyed it, and to
what extent, neither his own nor any other
pen will ever portray, for when we awoke
he was motionless,speechless,and as pale as
a marble statue. Whether he was asleep
or awake, or in a comitoso state, we didn’t
know then nor don’t know now; but we do
know, that when warmed by the Marshall
House stove and partaking of a warm and
excellent breakfast, like one of old he
opened his mouth and spake, and Chris
tian still lives and the Times is more.
On Monday morning we reached Savan
nah about the time the train did, and was
conducted by one of the At/rerliser's
children, who is, or was, chief pilot on one
of the vessels that ply between tho depot
and Bresuan’s European House. Landed
and seated at one of tho tables in that
justly popular house, was handed us a bill of
fare, and we told the servant what we.
wanted, and the servant told the steward,
and the steward sounded audibly through
the speaking trumpet, the various articles
we had ordered, among which was fried
Irish potatoes, the sound of which made
ns feel very religiously inclined towards that
steward, and we determined that he should
blow that same tune on that same horn
divers times, and he did.
After supplying our commissary depart
ment we started in search of adventures. A
short stroll brought us face to face with the
übiquitous Gentry, who scraped and bowed,
and then and there declared ho was happy
to sec us, and we felt complimented. Hut
in walking one square with him wo met at
least twenty men. Over each and all ln
poured out his heart’s rejoicings in quan
tities and qualities equal to that we had
enjoyed, and in our selfishness felt that we
were Gentry’s favorite, and not as other
men; but we were not hard to convince
that wo were only one of an innumerable
host of distributees of Ins eulogies and re
joicings. When all others lmd left us the
Colonel informed us that our presence at
the hodse of Clagliom k Cunningham
would lie very agreeable, and we hastened
on and found it just as ho said —found
everything moving on like clock work, and
the proprietors, though as busy as bees,
gave ns a welcome smile. Mr. C., No. 1,
gave ns a nudge in the short ribs and a
significant wink, as much as to say “Black
Bettic is full up to the neck,” and upon
examination we found her just so, but
didn’t leave her so. About this time the
Great Eastern was making its display to
the numerous nurses of the city, so
•familiarly known to tho men of the Ad
vertiser.
On Tuesday morning wo took the ten
o’clock excursion truin to the Fair Grounds.
There was many articles handsomely dis
played, altogether constituting a very
handsome exhibition, and we was tlie only
admirer. There was a few ladies (mem
bers of the Memorial Association) who had
a beautiful display of handiwork and a
table spread and loaded with tho most in-
viting food. Outside the place looked
desolate, and we became lonely and left at
11 o’clock for the city.
We met during the week Fitch of the
Griffin Star, and Gorman of the Talbotton
Standard, both live men and excellent
quill drivers.
On Friday wc attended the Fair again,
and found a large and interesting crowd in
attendance. Such an attendance every
day would have made the Fair a grand
success. The last two days of our stay we
stopped at the Marshall House, where we
had every convenience and comfort. It is
an excellent house, the clerks are courteous
and accommodating, and the servants are
polite and attentive. We would advise out
readers who visit Savannah to stop either
at the Marshall House or Bresnan’s Euro
pean House.
We returned ou Sunday morning and
learned that it had been raining and shin
ing alternately in Quitman just as though
we had not left. We had very agreeable
company part of the way home on Satur
day night, and we have been regretting
ever since that Blackshcar is not a few
miles west of Quitman, and near enough
to consolidate and change the name to
Tabi.
Tho First l-Hlt<*luturnout.
The Amateur Minstrels of Quitman will
give their first entertainment ou this (Fri
day) night, iu the Hall over Kayton’s New
York store. Considering the purpose for
which this entertainment is given
wo can’t doubt for a moment that the
house will bo crowded to its utmost capac
ity; considering too, that this is their first
effort iu public and that their organiza
tion is of recent date and their practice
together quite limited, great allowance
should be madeand rigid criticism witheld.
The small amount charged for admission
will not be felt nor can any claim to be ex
cluded on account of high charges. Tho
benevolent purpose to which the proceeds
are to be applied to wit: to tho benefit of
the sufferers of our neighboring town,
Cambridge, will prove n great incentive and
insure a large attendance and will confer
great credit on the young men. Wo hope
as the proceeds of their first efforts are to
be so humanely applied that in all their
subsequent entertainments they may
be greatly encouraged and richly re
warded.
Tho goods being nil marked down chcnp, if you
want to pay high prices for your supplies, don't
call at ’ Kayton’s'Nkw Yoiik Stoue.

It will be remembered that wo in Our
prospectus fully assured our readers that
corruption in high places would be exposed
by Thk Independent. That from neither
State nor National officials should bo with
held tho just meed of praise for meritori-
ous conduct, uor should they in anywise
escape tho just retribution of a public and
unreserved expose of official misconduct,
misrule, abuses of authority and all and
every description of official errors, frauds,
usurpation, deceptions and even dema
gogneisms and none coming within the
scope or definition of these terms need
hope for relief in oblivion w hile The In
dependent survives. Our exposure will
not be confined to Radical outrages to the
exclusion of corruptions in tho Democratic
officials- - oven handed justice shall be moot
ed out to all alike. Wo propose in our
next, or ns soon as we can gather all the
facts, to expose some (to say the least of
them, and best for them) gross inconsis
tencies in high Democratic officials, and
leave the questions to our readers to de
cide upon the merit of the inconsistencies
whether criminal or excusable, for they
can never adjudge them justifiable.
Send in subscribers by the hundreds,
we are going to heat tho nest too hot to
hold corruptionists, and Radicals may
now subscribe at the same price we charge
gentlemen.

Mb. Edxtok.—ln your last issue an ar
ticle appeared which might, to a man up a
tree, look rather like a reflection upon my
character; and although I need not defend
it here where I am known, I fear the notice
might be misconstrued by some of your
readers at a distance. I therefore would
answer the same by saying in the first place
that your “local” drew very heavy on his
imagination when he reported two during
robberies in Savannah last week, for the
Savannah papers make no mention of any
such occurrences, to my knowledge. In
tin second place,l would toll the gentleman
what he perhaps don’t know -that mer
chandizing is a trade like any other, and
some men go along all their lives tinkering
away at it, while a few, like in any other
trade, become masters of their profession,
and, having from my childhood studied
merchandizing under able teachers, I flat
ter myself that I know how to purchase
goods so as to sell them cheap, and because
I do so and he can’t see how it is done, I
don’t want him to think that it is necessary
to have someone to go to fires, kc , to get
them. Having bought my goods princi
pally for cash, I have received inducements
which I can offer to my customers, and yet
make a living profit. I offer the best in
ducements I can to all cash buyers.

As soon as an advertisement is out we
take it from our columns and fill its place
with some interesting reading matter.
This we intend to do during the Inde
pendent's existence; therefore, as adver
tising must necessarily fall off for a while,
we must make up the deficit by increasing
our subscription list, and in order to do
so we propose to increase our reading
mutter, make the besf selections wo can,
and improve as much as possible our edi
torials. And we hope our friends who
profess to be pleased with the Independent
will aid us in enlarging its circulation, and
we hope| that appreciations of our course,
expressed by the lips, will be followed by
acts corroborating the sincerity.
Here It I* in u Few Words.
While in Savannah last week we visited
the immense carriage repository of Salo
mon Cohen. He bos buggies and car
riages of every description, all made of
the best material and at the best manufac
turing establishment in the country. Ho
has taken the premium at ull the Fairs
where he has entered, and is now offering
at reduced prices the largest assortment of
carriages and buggies perhaps in the State
of Georgia. Salomon loves money, and
there is no telling how cheap you can buy
from him at this time. He will probably
have an agent here in our town in a few
days with a few buggies, which, will be
sold low for cash.
Personal.
Maj. A. M. Watkius, traveling agent for
the wholesale boot and shoe store of Cur
rier, Sherwood & Cos., of Now York,
called ou us on Wednesday last. lie
is always a welcome visitor to our town,
for he enjoys tho full confidence of all tho
merchants with whom ho deals. He is
certainly representing a firm that does
business on correct principles, for orders
through him are always filled with perfect
accuracy and upon termseqtially as favor
able os if the merchant was making his
purchase in person at their counter.
This mutual confidence existing between
principal and agent, and the accurate ful
fillment on the part of the principal of tho
agreements of the agent, constitutes a sys
tem of trade of infinite convenience and
advantage to our merchants. As an evi
dence that this system is strictly adhered
to by the above named firm and agent,
their customers never complain nud con
tinues to send their orders. This houso
has passed through many financial tem
pests unscathed,and is now one of tho old
est and largest houses and strongest firms
in tho city, and is represented by one of
the most efficient and popular agents that
travels through tho South,iu tho person of
Major A. M. Watkins.

Special Call.
All parties indebted to tho undersigned for
horses and mules, are now called upon to come
forward and make payments at once. Payments
euonot be longer deferred, and we earnestly do
sire to avoid tho necessity of forced collections.
uovSKMt CKCIL & THUABHEII.
We state, upon our own responsibility,
that the above-named gentlemen should bo
paid in preference to all other claimants.
They have furnished you with stock to
make your crops and waited until you have
gathered them, and it is but right that
you should pay them, even if you have to
make a great sacrifice to do it. Can you
forgot their accommodation and overlook
their long indulgence? It is true you
may need money and hate to make sacri
fices, bnt you should remember that they
too may need money and dislike to make
sacrifices; that they are only asking for
their own, which you hold in your hands.
Mr. Cecil lives in Kentucky and purchases
tho stock, and ships them to Mr. Thrasher,
and ho sells them and have sold them to
you, and they have to be paid for. You
know that the Thrashers have extended
to you every accommodation in their
power, and now you should save thorn
harmless. Pay for yonr mules and for tho
Independent, and sleep with a clear con
science and be blessed of your Father.
