Q- a tt - I*. M . U . "Y O TJ Cr»
ot Bartow County.
Alive to the City’a Interest.
We are pleased to perceive that our “City
Fathers” are keenly active to the interest of
the “Oate City.” They have not only “put the
ball in motion” that ensures the completion of
the “Air Line Railroad,” but as will be seen in
the following proceedings of Council on Friday
night last, they have, by the reaffirmation of
their subscription to the stock of the “Georgia
Western Railroad,” in the sum of 1300,000,
made certain the completion of that Road
which will save ‘ho city from being cut off from
benefits which she now to a great extent enjoys,
and which will secure them to her in all future,
despite the efforts of rival interests to divert
them from her. We cannot too highly applaud
the actiou of oar “City Fathers” in the prem
ises, and shall take an early opportunity ol
placing before the readers of the Intelligen
cer some facts connected with their action in
the proposed construction of the “Georgia West
ern Railroad” of an important and highly in
teresting nature. In the meantime wo call
their attention to the following which we ex
tract from the proceedings of the last meeting of
Council :
Mr. Peters submitted the following:
Whereas, The Board of Directors of the
Georgia Railroad, at their meeting on the 8th
day of December, 1868, passed the following
resolution:
Resolved, That the President be hereby au
thorized to re-affirm the subscription made by
this company in the year 1860, to the stock ol
the Georgia Western Railroad of tw r o hundred
and fifty thousaud dollars, and that it is the opin
ion of the directors of this company that the
graduation of this road to the Powder Springs,
distant from Atlanta twenty-five miles, should
be placed under contract by the 1st of February
next, or sooner, it practicable, this subscription
bc’ug upon the positive condition that the city
of Atlanta re-afflrrn her subscription of three
hundred thousand dollars to the aforesaid road.
And WnERBAS, the Mayor and Council of the
city of Atlanta, in Lite year 1860, passed the fol-
owing ordinance: llis Honor the Mayor ot the
city ot Atlanta be,and he is hereby authorized and
directed to subscribe, in belialt of the Mayor aDd
Council of the city of Atlanta, for three thou
sand shares of $100 each, in the Georgia Western
Railroad Company ;
And Whereas, The building of said Georgia
Western Railroad is now contemplated.
Therefore, be it resolved by the Mayor atul Coun
cil of the City of Atlanta, That the Mayor of said
city be, and he is hereby directed to re-afllrm
said subscription of three thousand shares of one
hundred dollars each, in said Railroad Compa
ny, ami to eater the names of said city on the
subscription book ot said Company tor said
amount. Adopted.

time to time for the performance of the duties
of such officer or person so suspended or re-

tent person to perform the same, and to fill va
cancies occasioned by death, resignation, or
otherwise.
Sec. 5. And be it further enacted, That the
President bo, and he is hereby directed to place
at the disposal of the Provisional Governor elect
of Georgia, such portion of the army and navy
of the United States as may be required by him
for the preservation of the lives and property of
persons, the peace and good order of the com
munity, and the protection ot citizens in the tree
expression of their political opinions.
WASHING TOM CORRESPOND ENCE.
[SPECIAL TO TBS ATLAHTA 1HTZLL1GXXCEB.]
Washington, D. C., Dec. 12,1868.
Although it was not expected that Congress
would get into working order till a'ter the holi
days, yet the city is enjoying a perfect surfeit of
strangers, most of whom seem to be laboring
under the hallucination that an era of perfec-
Radical happiness is close at hand. Fears, howt
ever, are beginning to pervade the Radical
camp that, after all, the ultra policy of the de-
structionists will meet with little favor at the
hands of the President elect Georgia and
Louisiana are thorns in the sides of Radicalism.
The Jacobins foresee the doom that awaits their
party in 1872, and are using every inducement
to make hay while the sun shines, as its setting
is sure to be attended by terrible retributions.
Their success iu the late elections is the inevita
ble precursor of their utter destruction when
next the parlies meet to contest for the Presi
dency. It has already been discovered that
General Grant never gave his adhesion to the
Radical platform, except by implication; hence
a general distrust of him is being proclaimed
with more and more boldness every day.
The persons assembled in Washington at
present may be said to constitute the vanguard
ot that army ot hungry office-seekers desirous of
being installed in the tat berths subject to the
Executive appointments. True to their grovel
ing instincts, they have attempted to take Gen.
Grant by storm and compel his acquiescence in
their wishes; but with true military tact,
he has Hanked them every time they have
made the onset. He has been and is in
tact continually on the move, so that
there is no chance ol button-holding him and
compelling him willingly to listen to long diser-
tations ot devotion to party, and heroic labors
for his election. Heuce, there is tribulation
among the faithful, copious weeping, and gnash
ing of teeth; in short, the whole Radical party
is in a glorious muddle. The men that did most
to secure General Grant’s election, though not
really favorable to his nomination, are already
doubting him and throwing obstacles in his way.
They are becoming daily less cautious in their
expressions of distrust and doubt, as well of his
capacity as of his devotion to their especial
ideas. From all these indications we may antici
pate a scene in the House of Ham, before many
months shall follow the ides of March.
Il is not improbable that the unseemly exhibi
tion of ill-temper which characterized the action
of both Houses of Congress when the annual
message of the President was submitted for their
consideration, was attributed to the irritation
produced by the conflicting rumors that are
afloat regarding the intentions and political
status of Lie President elect. One thing is very cer
tain, however, that Messrs. Conness, ol California,
and Scheuck, of Ohio, aud their puny followers,
have sounded the lowest depths of infamy by
the ribald tone of their remarks concerning a
state paper, which, if not absolutely compli
mentary to their wisdom, is acknowledged on all
sides to be one ot the ablest documents that has
ever emanated from the Executive ot the nation.
I would advise those sensitive Congressmen to
keep their wrath “bottled up.” till the hour for
investigating frauds upon the Government shall
have arrived, especially when the gigantic Alaska
swindle, in which many of their compeers will
figure iu no ^enviable light, shall have claimed
their Attention*
Among the new notabilities added to the pres
ent Congress, it believes me to mention the Hon.
P. M. B. Youug, representing the 7th District
of Georgia, who bids fair to become one of the
most popular and useful members of the lower
house. Short as his sojourn has been in Washing
ton, he has already ingratiated himself into gen
eral favor by the dignity of his deportment and
that peculiar suavity of manner which made him
so popular with the officers of the old army. Gen.
Young is ^moreover noted for modesty, discre
tion, moderation, and as he is the regular nomi
nee of the Democratic party in the 7th District,
it is confidently expected that the 41st Congress
will again be graced by the presence of a gen
tleman whose geniality of disposition and intel
lectual qualities cannot fail to raise him to a
high pinnacle of distinctien.
Atlanta.
Grant’s Cabinet—A Wager.—A Washing
ton letter to the Baltimore Sun, of Friday last*
says: “ To-day the wager ol a cool thousand
dollars was made by a man that he could name
the Cabinet ot the incoming administration.
Articles were signed and the money deposited
in the safe ot a leading hotel. The betting slate
as made up is as follows: Secretary of State,
Edwin M. Stanton ; Secretary of the Treasury,
Senator Morton ; Secretary of War, Gen. J. M.
Schofield; Secretary of the Havy, Admiral Por
ter ; Secretary of the Interior, Senator Conness;
Postmaater General, Horace Greeley; and At
torney General, Matt. H Carpenter.

The Macon Telegraph, of yesterday, announces
that the cotton crop of that section is nearly all
in. In conversation, it says, with an intelligent
And provided,’That any"alteration of the and well-mtormed gentleman, who had just re-
Sumner’a Georgia Bill.
The reader will see the extont of the malig
nity of the Massachusetts Senator towards
Georgia, if he will peruse the following bill
which he recently introduced into the Senate,
and which has been referred to the Committee
on the Judiciary:
A Bill to carry out the Reconstruction Acts in
the State of Georgia.
Whereas, In the act of Congress entitled
“An act for the more efficient government ol the
rebel States,” among which is enumerated
Georgia, it is provided that until the people of
said rebel States shall by law be admitted to
representation in Congress, any civil govern
ment which may exist therein shall be provi
sional only, and such Slates are divided into
military districts;
And whereas, in the supplementary recon
struction act bearing date July nineteenth, eigh
teen hundred and sixty-seven, it is further pro
vided that “ all persons hereafter elected or ap
pointed to office in said military districts under
any so-called Stale or municipal authority, shall
be required to take and subscribe the oath of
office prescribed by law lor officers of the Uni
ted States; ”
And whereas, it was the true intent and
meaning of the a ct above mentioned that per
sons allowed to participate in the provisional
legislation of any of the rebel States prior to
their admission to representation by Congress,
•hall take and subscribe the oath above men
tioned ; and whereas the Legislature ef Georgia,
elected under and by virtue of the acts of Con
gress known as the reconstruction acts, on the
twentieth, twenty-first, twenty-second, and
twentj-third of April, eighteen hundred aud
sixty-eight, and when assembled on the fourth
ot July, eig hteen hundred and sixty-eight, failed
to comply with the foregoiug requirements, so
that such legislature was never organized accord
ing to law ; and whereas, further, this legisla
ture, thus defective in organization, has pretend
ed to act as it it were a legislative body duly
constitut d, and has done certain things utterly
unjustifiable, aud requiring the iuterveutioD of
Congress ; Therefore,
Be it enacted by the Senate and Ho use of Rep
resentatives of the United States of America in
Congress assembled, That the civil government
actually existing in Georgia is provisional only,
and in all respects subject to the paramount au
thority of the United States at any time to abol
ish, modity, control, or supersede the same, until
a legislature organized in accordauae witn toe
requirements ot the act ot July nineteenth,
eighteen hundred and sixty-seven, snail have
duly ratified the amendment to the Constitution
of the United States, proposed by the Thirty-
Ninth Congress, and known as article fourteen,
when the State, according to the act aforesaid
will be subject to the fundamental condition that
the constitution of the Stale shall not be so
amended or changed as to deprive any citizen
of the United Staus, or class of citizens, of the
right to vote in such State, who are entitled to
vote by the constitution thereot herein recog
nized, except as a punishment for such crimes
as are now felonies at common law, whereof
they have been duly convicted, uiuier laws
equally applicable tojail the inhabitants ot the
State _
constitution may be made to the time aud place
ot residence of voters.
Sec. 2. And be it further enacted. That the pro
visional Governor elect ol the State ot Georgia,

assemble by proclamation, at the city ot Atlanta,
on or before the first Wednesday in April next,
the persons elected as members ot the General
Assembly of that State, at an election held un
der and oy virtue ol ttie reconstruction acts on
the twentieth, twenty-first, twenty-second, and
twenty-third days of April, eighteen hundred
and sixty-eight.
Sea 3. And be it further enacted, That no per
son 6o elected shall be permitted to participate in
the organization or legislation ot sueh provi
sional assembly who shall not have first taken

SOLUBLE PACIFIC GUANO.
T HIS GUANO is found by experience to po-?ess fully
equal, and, uuder eome conditions, gieater, ferti-
tzing power than Peruvian Guano. Its cost per ton is
at .'east $80 leas than Peruvian; hence, planters can
afford to use it more liberally, and tbus realize greater
benefits.
According to tlie experience of Wm. H. Young, Esq.,
of Columbus, Ga., to whom we reler, 20 < pounds per
acre of Soluble Pacific Guano increased the crop three
to four times; 400 pounds per acre increased the crop
five to six times.
Dihbctioh8 for U6*Strew one half the quantity to
be applied per acre In the drill, or hill, aud plant upon it.
When the cotton or corn is brought to a stand, and well
up, ray four or five inches, sow the other halt broadcast
between the rows, before the plows. This is found to
be a better method than to apply all in the drill.
This Guano not only increases theorop so largety, but
matures it from two to four weeks earlier—thus adding
so long a time to the bearing season, and makes a good
crop, notwithstanding it be attacked by caterpillar.
The use of this Guano in Georgia on tne last crop
paid from 200 to 400 per cent, on the investment.
Every planter, who is incrednious as to these facts,
should at hast satisfy himself by a trial on a vmall scale,
as the outlay will be small, while the experience gained
will prove of great value. The culture of poor Ian’ 1 will
not compensate wi'hout the use of concentrated ferti
lizers, and that which is best, at least cost, must he pre
ferred. See testimonials annexed. For farther infor
mation, certificates, price, e.c , aptly to

Messrs. Adair & Brother: I spplied Soluble Pacific
Guano, procured from you, at the rate of 200 pounds per
acre on cotton. I am satisfied its use produced a crop
three times greater than the land would produce with
out it. GEO. S. KEY.
Near Atlanta, Ga., Dec. 1,1808.
Messrs. Adair J- Brother: I applied 3iK) pounds per
acre of Soluble Pacific Guano, procured from you. Not
withstanding a ten weeks’ drought, and the attack of
the caterpillar, I gathered 860 pounds cotton per acre.
From the same laud, without the Guano. I gathered only
200 pounds cotton—say less tnan one-fourth the qaau
tity. E. MORRIS.
Atlanta, Ga., Dec. 12th, 1868.
Messrs. Adair <fe Brother: I used this year the Solub'-e
Pacific Guano, bwught of you, at the ra e of 100 pounds
er acre on cotton planted three leet apart, in the drill,
am confident it is a pure article, and believe increased
the yield double, notwithstanding a ten weeks’ drought
and serious attack of caterpillar. J, M. CALHOUN.

Messrs. Adair <& Brother : Cents—I bought of you last
spring one ton Soluble Pacific Guano, and put on cotton.
It came fully up to my expectations, ami I cheerfully
recommend it to planter* as a profitable fertilizer for
cotton. M. G. DOBBINS.
Columbus, Ga., December, 1861
John S, Reese tt Co : Dear Sirs—Another s-ason con
firms my previously expressed convictions, that the
soluble Pacific Guano, as compared with Peruvian, is
fully as good—indeed, better. 1 have now tested it sni-
flciently, 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,
potatoe-, and small grain, aud the testimony I have
lrom a great many planters confirms my experience.
WM. H. YOUNG.
Charles A. Peabody, Esq., of Lee county, Alabama, in
a letter to William H. Young, says:
“The Peruvian Guano I had before used, and know it
to be an invalu ble fertilizer for cotton. I now fina the
Soluble Pacific to be equtily as good. At the same
price, I would as soon have it for cotton or corn as the
Peruvian; some of my bands insist that it is better.’’

OF THJ5 Scan DAM ABOMATIO SCHNAFFS,
22 Beaver Street 1 , New York, Nov. 3,1868.
To the People of the Southern States:
When the pure medicinal restorative, now so widely
known as Wolfe's Schiedam Schnapps, was introduced
into the world under the endorsement of four thousand
ending 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, theretore, endeavored to in
vest it with strongest possible safeguard against coun
terfeiters, and to render all atte npts to pirate it difficult
and dangerous. It was submitted to distinguished
chemists ibr analysis, aud pronounced by them the pu
rest spirits ever manufactured. Its purity and properties
having been thus ascertained, samples of 1 ho artic.e were
forwarded to ten thousaua physicians, including all the
leading practitioners in the United States, for purposes
of experiment. A circular, requesting a trial of the pre
paration and report of the result, accompanied each spe
cimen. Four thousand of the most eminent medical men
in the 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 plaoed on the ordinary liquors of
commerce, all of which were more or less adulterated,
uuu therefore unfit for medical purposes. The peculiar
ee.eelienee and strength of the oil 0/juniper, which form
ed one of the principal ingredients of the Schnapps, to
gether with an unalloyed character ol the alcoholic ele
ment, give it, in th* estimation of the faeuity, a marked
superiority over every othar diffusive stimulant as a diu
retic, tonic, aud restorative.
These satisfactory credentials irom professional men
of the highest rank were published in a condensed form,
and enclosed with each bottle of tbe Schnapps, as one or
the guarantees of ita genuineness. Other precaution*
against fraud were also adopted; a patent was obtained
or the article, the label was copyrighted, a fae 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 under the name of Schnapps prior
to the introduction 0$ Wolfe’s Schiedam Aromatic
Schnapps, in 1864; and the label wm deposited, as his
trade mark. In the United States District Court for the
Southern Distriot of New York during that year.
It might be supposed by person* unacquainted with
tbe daring character of the pirates who prey apon the
reputation of honorable merchants by vending delete
rious trash under their name, that the protectioas so
carefully thrown around these Schnapps would have pre
cluded the introduction* aud sale oi counterfeits They
seem, however, only to have stimulated the rapacity of
impostors. The trade mark of the proprietor ha* been
the indorsement which his Schiedam Aromatic
Schnapps alone received from the medical profession
has been olaimed by mendacious humbugs ; his label*
and bottles have been imitated, his advertisement* para
phrased, his circulars copied, .'and wore* than all, dishon
orable retailers, aff jr disposing of the genuine contests
of his bottles, have filled them np with oommon gin, the
most deleter one of all liquors, and thus made his name
and brand a cover for poison.
The public, the medical profession, and the *iok, for
whom the Schiedam Aromatic Schnapps is prescribed aa
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 uudersignod, in Schiedam, Holland, is
distilled irom a barley of the finest quality, and flavored
with an essential extract of the berry of the Italian juni
per, ot unequaled purity. By a process unknown in the
preparation of any other liquor, it is freed lrom every
acrimonious and corrosive element.
Complaints have been received from the leading physi
cians and families in tne Southern States of the sale of
cheap imitations of the Schiedam Aromatic Schnapps in
those markets, and travelers who are in the habit of
usiug it as an untidode to the baneful influence of un
wholesome river water, testify that cheap gin, put up in
Sheridan bottles, is frequently palmed off npon the un
wary. The agents of th* undersigned have been request
ed to institute inquiries on the subjeot, and to forward
to him the names of sneh parties as they may ascertain
to be engaged in the atrocious system of deception. In
conclusion, the undersigned would say that he has pro
duced, from under the hand* of the most distinguished
men of seionee in America, proofs unanswerable of the
purity and medicinal excellence of the Schiedam Aro
matic Schnapps; that he has expended many thousaud
dollars in barrounding it with guarantees and safeguards
which he designed should protest the jtublic 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 its forms; and from every ordeal the preparation
which b ars his name, seal, and trade mark, has come off
triumphant. He therefore fee's it a duty he owes to his
fellow-citizens generally, to the medical profession and
the sick, to denounce and expose th* charlatans who
counterfeit these evidences of identity, and he calls upon
th* press and the public to aid him in hi» aborts to rem
edy so great an evil.
The following letters and eertificates from the leading
physicians and chemists of this city will prove to the
reader that ail goods sold by the undersigned are all tnoy
are represented to be,

I feel bound t* say that I regard yonr Sehaappa aa be

Dear Sm—The want of pure wines and liquors forme
dicinal purposes has been long felt by the profession,
aud thousands of lives have been sacrificed by the use of
adulterated articles. Delirium tremens, and other dis
eases of the brain and nerves, so rife in this country, arc
very rare in Europe, owing, in a great degree, to the dif
ference in the purity of the spirits sold.
Wc hare tested the several articles imported and sold
by you, including yonr Gin, which yon sell under the
name of Aromatic Schiedam Schnapps, which we con-
aider justly entitled to the high reputation it has acquired
in this country; and from your long experienca as a for
eign importer, your Bottled Wines and Liqnors should
meet with the -:arr.e demand.
We would recommend yon to appoint some of the re
spectabie Apothecaries in different parte of the city a
agents for the sale of yonr Brandies and Wines, wher
the profession can obtain the same when needed for
medicinal purposes.
Wishing you success in yonr new enterprise,
