TilK ATLANTA 1>AILY INTBlduIGKNOBB HAS TUI Largest City, County, ant Slate Circulation or aict pafir issuzn at this voint ! ~- FOk C0XQR&S8, SttVRRTR DISTRICT. 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.

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.

Not withstanding a ten weeks’ drought, and che attack of the caterpillar, I gathered 850 pounds cotton per acre. From the same land, without the Guano. I gathered only 200 pounds cotton—say less man one-four:h the quan tity. E. MORRIS. Atlanta, Ga., Dec. 12th, 1S63. Messrs.

It came fully up to my expectations, and I cheerfully recommend it to planters a’s a profitable fertilizer for cotton. m. g. dobbins. 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.” dec!5 — REMOVAL. THE GEORGIA z o o ■o 09 * GEORGIA, Clayton County.

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 ing in every respect pre-eminently pure, and deserving of medieal patronage.
