Gen. 1*. M. B. YOUNG,
Of Bartow County.
Xhe Put, Preient, and Future.
In an article headed as above, the Charleston
j\7aca presents the following views of the pa9t
„nd present condition of the Southern people.
It says: “In these days, JSiop’s fable ol the
wolf and the lamb is receiving a thousand appli
cations. The Southern armies, when the war
euded, disbanded and went quietly home. The
Southern people, oppressed by the general bank
ruptcy and threatened with starvation, resorted
to the arts of peace. The Southern Legislature
applied to the President of the United States to
know what they must do in order to satisfy die
demands of the triumphant North, and did what
he required. They sacrificed thousauds of mil
lions for peace, only to be denounced as rebels
still."
“And ever since they have borne humiliation
upon humiliation. They have seen their best
men disfranchised and some ol them driven out
of the country. They have been oppressed by
worthless adventurers, by cotton agents like Cal
lieott, and by Generals like Sickles and Butler.
They have had contracts made for thorn and
taxes imposed upon them by aliens, renegades
and menials. Their property has been rendered
well-nigh worthless. Their pride has been
trampled under loot. Realizing the predicted
late of Egypt, they have been sacrificed to the
ambition of the meanest of the human race.—
Yet nothing but new slanders have been the re
ward of a people who have endured so patient
ly and so long. They are criminals, simply be
cause they do not willingly, yea thankfully ac
cept debasement and ruin.”
The picture thus drawn by the Nmos is a cor
rect one—one that cannot but strike all who
read it with its force and its truth. But what ol
the future of the South and her people ? Ar
they still to be manacled by the continued en
actmentot laws requiring still more of sacrifice
on their part, still more of debasement? .Has
not Georgia done enough ? What more will be
required of her ? We have not made up our
miud to believe that Mr. Sumner’s bill, which
bus gone to the Judiciary Committee of the
Senate, can receive trom that Committee a fa
vorable report; nor do we believe, if it does
that it will ever become a law. There is evi
dently in the Senate a feeling prevailing more
tolerant and conservative than existed in it at
the last session of Congress. This gives
hope for the future; and should that hope be
realised, then 'will the march of our noble old
State onward to au early prosperity be a sure
one—otherwise all will be gloom.
The Ruin, the Cold, and tliePoor.
The rain and the cold are upon us, then let us
remember the poor. People of Atlanta—you
who sit by your firesides and enjoy protection
from the rains and the cold, do not forget the
poor who, in your midst, are suffering from
both. Christmas is coming, and while you are
providing lor that merry season, make, too, the
hearts of the poor merry, by being beneficent
unto them. Do not lorget the poor, lest in t
time of learlul need you too may be forgotten
There are now in the city hundreds daily and
nightly shivering in their cabins, without a spark
of fire or a mouthful of meat. Remember them
while you are enjoying the good things of liie
and all the luxuries ot the season !
Forget what you may, good people of Atlanta
but DO MOT FORGET THE POOR !
Welcome Back.—We are pleased to learn
that ex-Goveruor Charles J. Jenkins has returned
to Augusta. We welcome back to Georgia this
distinguished citizen, and wish him years ol
health and usefulness.
The Murfreesboro’, Tennessee, Monitor says
a Georgia soldier is buried upon the place of
Mr. J. K. P. Murphy, near that city. Upon the
headboard is the following: F. A. H., Co. G,
37lh Ga." ‘Mr. Murphy desires to remove the
body, and if the relatives of the dead Confede
rate desire it, he will forward, on proper infor
mation, the remains to any point desired, at his
own expeuse.
Unconditional Amnesty.
The National Intelligencer advocates the un
conditional pardon of Mr. Davis, Gen. Lee, and
all the rest of the Confederates who were except
ed in th« last proclamation of the President. It
aaya: “If the President shall leave this matter
in its present unsettled condition, we have a
strong suspicion that Gen. Grant will, by a
prompt act of amnesty, dispose of each and all
of the remaining cases. Such a proclamation
might be held by some to justify what Mr. John
son hss already done, but there are far more
who would say that what the one had lacked
the decision to deal with, had been acted upon
by the ether Avith vigor and statesmanlike de
cision.”
Report ot (be Postmaster General.
Postmaster General Randall takes very high
ground, in his annual report, in justification of
the increase in the expenditures ot the Puslotiice
Department. The report is unusually lull, aud
exceedingly interesting. After setting forth the
details of the increased mail service, and the
various improvements and reforms established
within the past two years, of which full statistics
are given, he closes in the .following pungent
manner:
The iucrease of the expenses of the postal ser
vice, based as it is upon public necessity and
public demand, instead ot being cause of dis
couragement, is a subject ot congratulation. The
restoration ot so large a part of the postal ser
vice suspended during the war, and the new ser
vice created by Congress since the close of the
war, equal to one-third ot the amount of service
in operation at that time, have produced a less
deficiency than existed in time ot peace and
prosperity previous to 18u0.
The proportion of deficiency to revenue is far
less now thau then, uotwithstanding the seivice
is very much greater than ever before. In 1S39
the sum ot the deficiency was only $1 000.000
less ihau the entire revenue; in ltffiil ihe sum of
the deficiency was about $8,500,1)09 less than
the entire revenue; tor the year 1838 the defi
ciency is $10,000,000 less than the entire reve
nue. The majority ol the Sou lurn States have
never paid their own expenses for postal aeivice,
They will not do so lor a long time to come.
With the exception of Iowa and Missouri, none
ot the Slates or Territories west ol the Missis
sippi river have ever paid a revenue equal to thtir
postal expenses.
The cost ot the transportation of mails in all
new Slates and Territories, and iu all sparsely
populated portious of the country, never lias
beeu paid by those States or Territories out of
their own revenue, li is only as population and
business increase, and the country is developed,
that ihe postal service can be self-sustaining.—
The idea that the Postottice Department can oe
aclf-sustaining in the present condition of the
country is absurd. It cannot be, and ought not
to be, lor fifty years to come. The revenue will
largely increase, and so will expenditures.
Ten years hence I estimate the expense of the
Postoffice Department at $40,000,000, and the
revenues at $30,000,000. Tins iucrease must go
on as long as the country prospers, and mineral,
agricultural and commercial business increases.
'I he mines are not yet all developed, the lands
are not all cultivated, the rivers are not all navi
gated. the railroads are not all surveyed, the
cities are not alt built, the sea has not given U3
all we have a light to exact. Our country is not
finished. Until it is fiuished, he is not a wise
or sagacious man who assumes that the postal
service will pay lor itself.
The Posiotfice Department can be made self-
su-taining iu one way, and that is by catling off
the postal service in the States and Territories
where the receipts tor postages arc not equal to
the expenses. This would exclude all but Iowa
and Missouri west of the Mississippi, and all the
States overborne by the lebellioD. It could fur
ther economize by withdrawing all aid from the
China, Brazil, and Sandwich Islands steamship
lines, thus saving $725,000. It could save $995,-
000 by abolishing the letter-carrier system for
the cities. It could also economize to the ex
tent of $700,000 by overturning the system of
postal cars.
It is true that in the public estimation the
letter-carriers tor cities are thought to be almost
indispensable, but the system costs money and
brings small revenue. It is all disbursement and
no receipt. What it from twelve to tweuty-iour
hours are saved in the transmission of maili
between Washington and Cincinnati, or 8t.
Louis, or Chicago, and tho whole West and
Northwest, by these traveling post offices, which
put ot! and receive mails while traveling at
thirty miles an hour, and which receive mails,
make up mails, and distribute mails as they go
hurrying along? It costs money, and the Gov
ernment, like~a miser, keeps its money in it*
chests. It gives no return and helps nobody,
but it is safely hoarded.
A halting, timid, illiberal policy like this will
save one million and lose twenty. Every dollar
put out by the government in subsidies to build
railroads, in subsidies to aid ocean commerce, in
liberal appropriations to open. lines of travel
and develop material resources in a great na
tion like this, is money put out at exborbitant
usury, aud will bring returns in the develop
ment of material wealth, and in making the na
tion great, and rich, and strong in everything ot
value and interest to a great people.
The report is voluminous, but well written
and comprehensive. Its details are far from
being uninteresting, but with all their facts and
figures, are so iuil of suggestions as to awaken
a lively interest in the speculative as well as the
practical miud.
Tlie Art of l*ocket-PIcklwg.
The late Mr. De Quincey wrote a curious and
elaborate paper on “Murder Considered as one
of tiie Fine Ar!s ” Had he lived half a century
longer he might have extended his inquiries so
as to include pocket-picking in that category
for an art it has certainly become. Your artistic
pick-poebet is a gentlemanly-looking fellow
wears neat boots and gloves, always has a new
looking hat, and is altogether the Inst man you
would suspect of any sinister designs on your
pockets. Ho lives in first-class hotels and board
ing houses, often frequenting the same house lor
j ears, totally unsuspected, and remarkable only
tor his quiet aud gentlemanly demeanor. He
carefully chooses lour companions, equally re
spectable in appearance, to form what is called
a mob, each oue producing a certain sum to
make a bank, to be used in case one of them
falls, (taken by the police), ia order to provide
bail or to pay his counsel lees. They then Ire
quent railway stations, public meetings, or any
place where they can tiud a crowd. A victim
is quietly selected as a probable Snd. Two oi
the mob then place themselves in front ot him
and two remain behind, occupying as it were
the angles ol a square ol which the victim is the
center. These are callod the front and back
stalls. The unfortunate victim is then fanned
that is, liis pockets are soltly padded to find out
the one in which he keeps his wallet, the sign is
passed to the operator, who is termed the wire
who immediately proceeds to work. He does
not place liis hand in the pocket, that is a iatal
error; but with the two first fingers he gently
draws up the lining of the pocket to the open
iug, ami with it the wallet, aud the trick is done
This system is called retlliug. The wallet is
immediately passed to one of the back stalls,
who quietly though quickly levants.
The most dangerous place lor money is nn
doubtcdly the pocket ot the pants. Again, one
of the lront stalls passes his arm before your
tace to touch the other front stall on your shoul
der, to say “ How are you ?” but the wire from
behind has your diamond pin in possession, li
possible, they return the empty wallet to the
pocket to avoid detection in its possession, or
the dangerous necessity of throwing it away.—
For instance, two gentlemen silting at one end
of the car get into angry altercation, high words
come, the attention ol the other passengers is
attracted to their dispute, and the youDg lady
who sat next to that uice looking man at the
other end of the car finds, on arriving at Stew
art’s, that her purse is empty. The angry gen
tleman and the nice looking man are simply
coulederates. This they term weeding. A cor
respondent of a newspaper lately lost $800 iu
this way while riding in a Fourth avenue car,
Pickpockets are necessarily migratory in their
habits, finding a loDg residence in one place in
convenient. This renders it difficult to make
any estimate ot their probable numbers in New
York. They preler a locality for the scene of
their operations that has numerous lines ot rail
to enable them to separate in various directions
as soon as they have a good swag, and to meet
ain in some other town. These men stand by
one another in trouble, and are strictly square
in their mutual transactions.
A curious incident ot “honor among thieves”
is found in the toliowing anecdote: The elder
Mathews aud Theodore Hook, oa one occasion
went together to the theatre ; while ascending
the staircase Mathews playfully took a bundle
of papers from Hook’s pocket, when he was
touched ou the shoulder from behind by a gen
tlemanly-looking man, who handed him his own
pocket-book, apologizing lor haviug taken it by
aying, “I didn’t know that you was oue of us, '
and pertinently adding, “but what a tool you
must be to carry it there.”
Pickpockets, however, never save money, for
they are all bitten with a mania for gambling,
and, strange to say, are generally unsuccess!ul
at it. Their language is most peculiar, only to
be understood by that intelligent body of gentle
men who hail from Mulberry street. Their dep
redations on the public amouut to a very large
sum in the course ot the year, a considerable
portion of which is never recovered, from the
w euerai inability ot the victims to give any des
cription which might lead to identification;
they never, it possible, allow you to have a
full'view ot their lace.—N. Y. Tribune.

SOLUBLE PACIFIC (iUANO.
T HIS GUANO is found by experience to po sess fully
equal, and, under tome conditims. g:eater, lerti
izing power than Peruvian Guano. Its cost per ton ii
at least $80 less than Peruvian; hence, planters can
afiord to use it more liberally, and thus realize greater
benefits.
According to the experience of Wm. II Young, Erq.,
of Columbus. Ga., to whom we refer, 20 i pounds per
acre of Soluble Pacific Gnano increased the crop three
to four times; 400 pounds per acre increased the crop
five to six times.
Directions for Use :—Strew one half the quantity to
be applied per acre in ti e drill, or hill, end plant upon it.
When the cotton or corn is brought to a stand, and well
up, ray four or five inches, sow ihe other hal' broadcast
between the rows, before the plows. This is found to
be a better method than to apply all in the drill.
This Gnano not only increases theorop so la gely, but
matures it from two to lour weeks earlier—thus adding
so long a time to the bearing season, aud makes a good
crop, notwithstanding it be attacked by caterpillar.
The use of this Gnano iu Georgia oa the last crop
paid from 200 to 400 p--r cent, on ihe investment.
Every planter, who is incredulous as to these facts,
should at least satisfy hi mself by a trial on a small scale,
as the outlay will be small, while the experience gained
will prove of great value. The culture of poor lane will
not compensate without the use of concentraied ferti
lizers, aud that which is best, at least cost, must be pre
ferred. See testimonials annexed. For further infor
mation, certificates, price, e c , aptly to

Columbus, Ga., December, 1865.
John S, Reese dk Co : Dear Sirs—Another season con
firms my previously expressed convictions, that the
Soluble Pacific Guano, as compared with Peruvian, is
fully as good—indeed, better. I have now tested it suf
ficiently, using each side by side for two seasons, apply
ing the same weight of each per acre, ana in every case
the Pacific has given the best results on cotton, corn,
pot&toe- 1 , and small grain, aud the testimony I have
trom a great many planters confirms my experience.
WM. H. YOUNG.
Charles A. Peabody, Esq., of Lee county, Alabama, in
a letter to William H. Yonng, says :
“The Peruvian Guano I had before used, and know it
to be an invain .ble fertilizer for cotton. 1 now find the
Soluble Pacific to be equally as good. At the same
price, I would as soon have it for cotton or corn as the
Peruvian; some of my hands insist that it is better.”

known as Wolfe’s Schiedam SchnappB, was introduced
into the world nnder the endorsement of four thousand
eading members of the medical profession some twenty
years ago, its proprietor was well aware that it could
not wholly escape the penalty attached to all new and
useful preparations. He, therelore, endeavored to in
vest it with strongest possible safeguard against coun
terfeiters, and to render aU attempts to pirate it difficult
and dangerous. It was submitted to distinguished
chemists for enalysis, aud pronounced by them the pu
rest spirits ever manufactured. Its purity and properties
having been thus ascertained, samples of the arlic.e were
forwarded to ten thousand physicians, including all the
leading ^Rctitioners in the United States, for purposes
of experiment. A circular, requesting a trial of the pre
paration and report ot the result, accompanied each spe-
sirnen. Four thousand of the most eminent medical men
in ihe Union promptly responded. Their opinions of
the article were unanimously favorable. Such a prepara
tion, they said, had long been wanted by the profession,
as no reliance could be placed on the ordinary liquors oi
commerce, all of which were more or less adulterated,
and therefore unfit for medical purpos e. The peculiar
excellence and strength of the oil of juniper, which form
ed one of the principal ingredients of the Schnapps, to
gether with an unalloyed character oi the alcoholie ele
ment, give it, in the estimation of the faculty, a marked
superiority over every other a illusive stimulant as a diu
retic, tonic, a»d restorative.
These satislactory credentials irom professional men
of the highest rank were published in a condensed form,
aud enclosed with each bottle of the Schnapps, as one of
the guarantees of its genuineness. Other precautions
against fraud were also adopted; a patent was obtained
or the article, the label was copyrighted, a fac simile o
the proprietor's autograph signature was attached to
each label and cover, his name and that of the prepara
tion were embossed on the bottles, and the corks were
sealed with his private seaL No article had ever been
sold in this country nnder the name of Schnapps prior
bo the introduction of Wolfe’s Schiedam Aromatis
Schnapps, in 1851; and the label was deposited, as hie
trade mark, in the United States District Oonrt for the
Southern District of New York during that year.
It might be supposed by persons unacquainted w'th
the daring character of the pirates who prey upon the
reputation of honorable merchants by vending delete
rious trash under their name, that the protections so
carefully throwu around these Schnapps would have pre
cluded the introductions aud sale ol counterfeits. They
seem, however, only to have stimulated the rapacity of
impostors. The trade mark of the proprietor has beeu
stolen; the indorsement which his bchiedam Aromatic
Sehnapps alone received fiom the medical profession
has been claimed by menlaoious humbugs; liis labels
and bottles have been imitated, his advertisements para
phrased, his circulars copied, .and worse than ail,.dishon
orable retailers, after disposing of the genuine contents
ot his boitics, have filied them up with common gin, the
most deleterious of all liquors, and thus made his name
and brand a cover for poison.
The public, the medical profession, and the Blok, fot
whom the 8eh iedam Aromatic Schnapps is prescribed as
a remedy, are equally interested with the proprietor in
the detection and suppression of these nefarious prac
tices. The genuine article, manufactured at the estab
lishment of the undersigned, in Schiedam, Holland, is
distilled lrom a barley of tlxe finest quality, and flavored
with au essential extract of the berry of the Italian juni
per, or unequaled parity. Bv a process unknown in the
preparation of any other liquor, it is freed from every
acrimonious and corrosive element.
Complaints have beeu received from the leading physi
cians and families ia the Southern States of the sale of
cheap imitations of the Schiedam Aromatic Schnapps in
those markets, aud travelers who are in the habit of
using it as an antidods to the baneful influence of un
wholesome river wator, testify that cheap gin, put up in
Sheridan bottles, is frequently palmed off upon the un
wary. The agents of the undersigned have been request
ed to institute inquiries on the subject, and to forward
to him the uames of such parties as they may ascertain
to b.- engaged in the atrocious system of deception. In
conclusion, the undersigned would say that he has pro
duced, from under the hands of tbe inoat distinguished
men of science in America, proofs unanswerable of the
pnrity and medicinal excellence of the Schiedam Aro
matic Schnapps; that he has expended many thousand
dollars in surrounding it with guarantees and safeguards
which he designed should protect the public and himself
against fraudulent imitations; that he has shown it to be
the only liquor in the world that can be uniformly de.
pended upon as unadulterated; that he has challenged
investigation, analysis, comparaison, and experiment in
all iislorms; and from every ordeal the preparation
whica b urs his name, seal, and trade mark, has come off
triumphant. He therefore icels it a duty he owes to his
lullow-citiaens generally, to the medical profession and
tbe sick, to denounce and expose the charlatans who
counterfeit these evidences of identity, and he calls upon
the press and the public to aid him in his efforts to rem
edy so great, an evil.
The following letters and certificates from the leading
physicians and chemists ol this city will prove to the
reader that ail goods sold by tho undersigned are all they
are represented to be.
UDOLPHO WOLFE.
I feel bound to say that I regard your Schnapps as be

as such may be safely prescribed by physicians.

Dear Sir—I have made a chemical examination of a

The examination has resulted in tbe conclusion that
the sample contained no poisonous or harmful admix

deleterious substances which are employed in the adul
