OCR EXCHANGES AND COR¬ RESPONDENTS Will please cliaiig«Ft:he address on jheir mailing lit*, to us personally, or to the ADVERTISER, from Cleveland, to Clarksville, Ga., and oblige Yours Truly, ALEX. CHURCH. Pub. The Advertiser has the largest circulation in most of the upper coun¬ ties, of any paper in the State, and in its columns is the best place to adver¬ tise your goods. Advertising solicited. Rates very liberal Address, Alex. Church, Pub. Clarksville Gr. CASH. As the cash system is fast becoming a fixed business rule, it becomes ry for us to adopt a like system. There are some persons who subscribe for a newspaper, and from carelessness or an impression created from a home-made erroneous idea that newspaper men can publish their papers and support their Tamil!e without 1 eim paid for their arduous labors. We hope we have none of this class on our list. It is true that a large majority of our patrons are in arears, and we hope they will' not delay to send the amounts due, other¬ wise, where subscriptions are not paid within three months from date of sub¬ scription, >ve shall be compelled to charge an additional 25 cents. We are determined to enlarge and improve the Advertiser in every re¬ spect. To enable us to do this our pat¬ rons must pay promptly. Printing ma¬ terial is liigh and the cash is required to pay for it. We want to make this provement as early as possible, and we ask our patrons to aid us by paying their dues, There are names on our list who have read the Advertiser for about two years and have never paid a cent for it. To such persons we wish to say that we do „ot propose to run that schedule much . ' ' ' longer, ............. • - +++. - WASHINGTON LETTER. [Prom our Regular Correspondent} Washington, D, C., Dee. 15 1631. Under tbe rules of the House of Rep¬ resentatives Monday is tbe day on yb oh the States are ealled, during the morn *ing hour, and Members from the Stares reached in order before tbe time expires bare an opportunity petitions to preseo* any blils, resoionops, or tbey may have prepared - Sometimes tbey come in an thick and fast tbat the hour is consumed before the States have been ha.f called, aim on tbe following Mon day the call l* resumed where it left off before. To introduce matters of this nature any other day requires unani¬ mous consent or a suspension of the rules by a two-thirds vote, from this pi.-.etice, Monday has come to be called “bill day.” and ft is tbe day on which must of tbs seusationa and "field exer¬ cises'' occur/ because, if a member has anything of a red hot Dature to offer, for whicb he has at all other times boon unable to catch that treacherous thing, the "Splatter's eye/' he can, if his State is reached, shoot it off ou Monday In spite of ali opposition. This much byway or introduction to "a few fee. bid remarks” about bills and thiogs. Thousands of bills are introduced in every Congress which ought not to be and which accomplish nothing except thousand bills were dumped into tbe boppar of the lastCengrees,yet notone out of a hundred of them were or ever will be heard of again. Already the sluice gates have opened In the present Congress, and tho flood of measures will continue to flow in every Monday down to the very last weak of the sess¬ ion. Io tbe Senate alone, 350 bills introduced in less than a week after Congi ess assembled. Ooe Senator alone offered thirty-three bills. In the whole batch there are scarcely a score that can be said to have any public interest. Aod so it always is A large majority of the bills ofierad in every Congress either relate to some trifling, impractic¬ al matter, or to some small private grievance which the court of Claims was especially created to consider. The vaaity aod redicuioutuess of all this Wight be overlooked if it were a * for its injurious effect first, in preventing tbe consideration of necessary business, and secom , in occasionally facilitating Mm passage of highly objectionable meaoarea. All the iaiportam measures demanding action by Congress at tha present time can be told efi on ibe fin gerjs of ope band, aod, a* Senator Ed- rounds recently said, adjournment might be reached by the middle of May; bat berween idle roersures sad idle Con¬ gressmen we shall find that it wilt be nearer August. None of the members attract more attention iu Washington than the preacher Congressman from Brooklyn, Rev. J. Hyatt Smith. In personal ap¬ pearance be is not remark able, the most striking feature being tbe short, cork screw curls in which hie hair is worn. Bat he appears to be a very active man. Besides his Congressional duties he has already been both lectur ring and preaching here, with plenty of bearers all of whom express them¬ selves pleased. Tbat is more than some of bis constituents appear to be, for several of the labor organizations that contribeted to hie election as an Independent have been telegraphing their indignation at hie coarse iu ent» r ing the Republican camp. The good natured peliilcal define however, ex¬ presses the optDien tbat he knew on which side bis bread was buttered wbeD be located himeelf near the leaves and fishes. Tbat he did not mean to "get left” is evidenced in the fact that Mr. Randall held his pledge towote with Democrats if his vote woold elect, and the Greenbacks™ say tbey bad bis agreement in writing to act with them; while, as a matter of fact, he went into the Republican caucus, question is Tbe never-ending Indian coming ap in Congress shortly- There are fresh reports of scaodaloas misman¬ agement in Arizona and New Mexico resulting ip wbosesale murders of set¬ ters pud miners. Though tbe President in his Message speaks encouragingly of the results of our present iBdian policy there are many people knowing from experience something about tbe subject, who expect to see peace on the frontier only -hen we bare done with thieving traders and agents, and when Indians are made to take care of themselves like other citizens, Tbe feeling ef tbe people in the Western Tern ter iee, who see iBdian assassaine cherished at tbe agencies, when they come in red-banded to get supplies for a new raid on help lees farmers and their wives and cbildres, be appreciated when the facte are un¬ derstood. It is a miserable white man in Arizona who says. - — I want to he an Iojun, A warrior of tbe plain; I want to wield a tomahawk And scoop oat people's brains. I long to build a fire On human being’s breast. And watch him wriethe in agony With gentle »*age zest. • •tee I went to be on Infria, A Modoc or a Utt; I'm lined of being a whits man, An unpeopled brute.

Post-Appeal says that “the South Carolina House of Repre¬ sentatives has just passed, by a very large majority, a bill doing away with all the fences in the State except in three counties, which are obliged at their own expense to fence themselves in frorri tbeir neighbors, and making it a misdemeanor for stock to run at large. The bill will probably become a law.
