THE INDEPENDENT. 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. Brook* Sapi-rior Coart. The Grand and Petit Jurors drawn for the second week of Brooks Superior Court are requested to attend on the Ist Monday in December next, and the Jurors who served the last week are discharged from further attendance. Aug. H. Hanseld, nov22 Judge S. C. S. C. ——i :o: 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. Thing. In lie Toll). 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.

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. Yours respectfully, 11. IT. Kayton, New York Store, Quitman, Ga. Note. —Mr. K. is very sensitive ! Wo never intended to accuse, but, to puff him.

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. See advertisement in another column. • r :o: 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.
