tsmtaem ATLAHTA GEORGIA Friday Morning, Dec. 18, 1808. ~ THE ATLANTA DAILY INTKLLIGRMCER HAS TH* Lamest City, County, and State Circnlation or ajtt tates usubd at this poiht t FOM CO.VORRSS. RSVRMTE DISTRICT. Qeu. P. M. B. YOUNG, Ot Bartow County. Ld Us Have Peace aud More Troop*. From all corners of our lree and enlightened republic, in which, in times past, we used to boast of the beauties of self-government, there is heard a hoarse cry for “troops, more troops." The Indians on the plains are to be dispossessed of their lands, to be driven into new reserva tions, where the Indian agents and contractors can swindle and demoralize them to their heart’s content, and “this desired result,” says General Sherman, “can only be obtained by coercion,” and more troops. The commanding general at Alaska, who rules over the territory and the Inhabitants thereof, lor which we have recently paid eight or nine millions of dollars in gold, Bays civil government is a humbug for that part ot the free and enlightened republic, and that troops—infantry, cavalry, and artillery—bayo nets, sabres and grape shot, are the most efficient instruments wherewith to educate the Alaskiaus in the lessons oi republicanism. The military commander in ihe territory ol Arizona cries out lustily for an “increase of force”—more troops. Ho wants to exterminate the Apaches, and wo believe that his plan is the only way to deal with that uutameahle tribe of savages. General Thomas, who thinks that any complaint by tho people of Tennessee against the mild, paternal government of the saintly Brownlow aud his pious coadjutors is rampant rebellion, wants troops, more troops, as a matter ot course; aud then he wauts to reconstruct Kentucky and establish there an other Brownlow, (if, indeed, such another mon ster is to be found out of Satan’s dominions) and for the accomplishment of so big a job as this, be not unnaturally wants very many more troops. In Texas, too, the commander has ur gent need of more troops. The Indians have been allowed to play the mischief for a long time, because the troops in that State have been employed in diflusing radicalism at the point of the bayonet, and have not been entirely success ful in their efforts. To keep the white people and the Indians In a proper state ot subjection to strike terror into the Democrats and the Ca manches, Reynolds must have more troops.— Even our own military commander, Geueral Meade, is not satisfied with the existing subordt nation of the military to the civil authority, and he asks for “more power,” which means more troops. In Mississippi, alone, the commanding General satisfied that he has troops enough. Things are going on in that Slate in such a satisfactory manner that “ there has been no necessity for the troops sta tioned there.” In the Southern States taken in the aggregate, the Secretary of War declares officially thut there is an “ unusual disposition to lawlessness and crime,” the civil government is “ comparatively inefficient,” and nothing can stop this and guai&nlee pure republicanism but more troops. We thought that reconstruction was an emi nent succeas, and that the Republican party called upon tho couutiy to sing hallelujahs over »o beautifully perfect a work, and yet the only place where there has been “ no necessity (or the use of troops ” is one of the three States which lias not been reconstructed at all and where tha chances are that reconstruction will be indefinitely postponed on account ot the weather. There must be a screw loose some where. We fear that our congratulations at the “ success ” of reconstruction must have been rather premature, otherwise there would not be such a general shout for more troops, ami there would be no necessity for Sumner’s Geor gia bill. We have a painful misgiving that reeonstruc tion such as Sumner desires is not exactly prac ticable. The white men of the Soulhera States have a decided objection to be ruled by negroes and Knights of the Carpetbag, and not only have they this objection, but they declare it opanly and refuse to be so ruled. More troops may fix it. A soldier with a bayonet or a sabre or a field piece behind every white man may prevent the white men from statiDg their objec tion, but will it not take a heap of soldiers, bay onets, sabres aud field pieces ? Meantime “Let us have peace” and above all “more troops.” Horton Retlivivus. A short time ago we sited briny tears over a lengthy article in the New York Tribum which detailed the brutal assassination at Huntsville Ala., of a distinguished son of Massachusetts, one Gustavas Horton, whose signal merit aud the grace of Radicalism had elevated to the Bench as Probate Judge at. Mobile. The “out rage” was frightful, learlul, terrible. Horton was all that was great ami good and civilized and trooly loil. He loved me Digger with the requisite effusion. He iully believed iutheiu. hsriority of the white race (a not unnatural belief, by the way, if formed by a contract between the niggers and himself; but he was foully assassi nated by Rebels, Democrats, Ku-Kluxcs, and Copperheads on the morning of the 4th day ot November A. D. 1868. The place, the day, the hour, the minute, were given, where ami when the great Horton tell a martyr to trooly-loilty. There was nothing omitted which could add to the brutality of the “outrage.” But we find that our briny tears were shed in vain. Our lamentations for Horton were un necessary. Our denunciation of those horrid Ku-Kluxcs was undeserved. Our sympathy witn the trooly loil was wasted. Because Hor ton was not assassinated at all at Huntsville or anywhere else. The rebels, Ku-Kluxes, Demo crats and Copperheads never interfered with him corporeally or otherwise. In point of fact Horton on the 2d day ot Decemher of this year ot grace, administered the law as Probate Judge of Mobile. It was no ghostly or ethereal Hortou, “revisiting the glimpses ot the Moou” in order to induce some young Horton to “revenge his loul and most unnatural murther.” It was the original Gustavns himself in no “questionable shape,” with no “airs from heaven” but rather with a lew “blasts” from the other place, setting in a split bottom cha ; r, victimizing the unfortu nate people of Alabama by his ignorance, and pocketing any quantity of greenbacks for his service*!?) While we are glad to know that the lamented Horton is no longer lamentable, but alive and kicking, w# are much incensed against Greeley lor having so inhumanly lacerated our feelings by eo heartless a fabrication. Special T at •graphic Correspondence of the Louisville Courier-Joarnal. Trow Washington. IN THE SENATE. Washington, D. C., Dec. 14, ISffS. Some preparatory legislation was accomplished to-day on financial matters. In the Senate Mor ton introduced his bill, heretofore published, providing for the redemption of the legal tender currency, aud will make a speech upon it on W ednesday. Cole introduced one providing lor coin contracts. IN THE HOUSE. Lynch’s bill providing for a contraction of the curreucy and a convertible small interest-bear ing bond was made the special order for the 6th of January. Garfield, ot Ohio, also introduced a bill, which was referred to the Committee on Ways and Means, providing that contracts may be made in coin, as recommended in McCul loch’s report. Neither ot the financial commit tees had a meeting to-day. ALASKA INVESTIGATION. The Committee on Public Expenditures were directed by the House to day to send for per sons and papers and investigate the charges made in the Worcester Spy, that a corruption fund was spent among members, newspaper men, lobbyists, and others, to secure the passage of the hill paying for Alaska. Mr. Hurlburt, of New Yoik, is chairman of the committee, and intends to proceed at once in the investigation, and will be assisted materially in ascertaining the truth of the charges by such representatives of the press as have been pat down in the pub lication referred to with haring received a lee. DISABILITIES. There were at least a dozen bills introduced in tue House to-day by the Southern members, to remove the political disabilities from South ern men. The Reconst^clion Committee in tend to delay the action a^resent on them and then bring in a general bill covering all of the cases referred to them. The disposition for am nesty is quite liberal. postal telegraph. The House Postal Committee had up to-day the bill providing for a Government postal tele graph system. The Western Union line appeared in opposition to the bill, and a majority ol the members seemed opposed to it, though the com mittee took no definite action. VIRGINIA. Leading Conservatives in Virginia propose to accept, with a protest, negro suffrage as a fixed fact, and abandon all opposition to it, but to., oppose the iron-clad disfranchising oath of the new constitution of that State. This course, it is believed, will secure a large colored vote lor the Conservatives. An address embodying these views will shortly be issued. MINISTER JOHNSON. A statement freely prevails to-day, that Rcv- erdy Johnson writes that, as soon as the pro tocol is agreed upon lor the settlement ot the Alabama claims, he will return to this country to explain its features and urge its adoption by the Senate. EXTENSION OF STAY LAWS. General Stoneman has prepared an order ex tending the stay laws in Virginia, which is a matter of great consequence to the debtor class, who compose nine-tenths of the population. CONGRESSIONAL RECESS. Congress has agreed to adjourn virtually lrom Saturday to the 5th of January. Ths Senate to-day concurred in the House resolution for a recess from December 21 to January 5th. The Senators appear to be indisposed to enter regu larly upon business before the hclidays, and this week promises to be unusually dull. OBITUARIAL. In the House two days at least, Thursday and Friday, will be devoted to the obituaries of Thad. Stevens and Mr. Finney, of Pennsylvania, and it is not improbable that the deaths of Mr. Hind man, of Arkansas, and others who died during the recess, may be announced. CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENTS. Four constitutional amendments were intro duced in the House to-day on the suffrage ques tion and referred to the Judiciary Committee, which is indisposed to touch the question at present. RESCISSION OF THE RATIFICATION. The lesolutions of the Oregon Legislature re scinding the ratification by that State of the 14th constitutional amendment, were received to-day and referred to the House Judiciary Committee, who have before them the question ol the legal power to rescind such ratifications as presented in similar resolutions of the Ohio Legislature at the last session. NO INCREASE OF SALARY. The demand of the departmental clerks for an increase ot salary ot 20 per cent, from July last, was defeated in the House to-day bj r 20 ma jority. It called for about two millions of dol lars lrom the Treasury. JUDICIAL. In the House to-day McKee introduced a bill constituting Kentucky one judicial district, and Plants, ot Ohio, presented one dividing Ohio into three judicial districts, or virtually adding one in the lat ter -State. Both were referred. CONTESTED ELECTION. The Ninth Missouri House contested case of Switzlervs. Anderson comes before the Election Committee to morrow. Anderson, the sitting member, who asked last session lor more time to take evidence, has not filed a line, and the case will go against hitu again. ELECTIVE VOTE OF ILLINOIS. J >hu D. Strong, electoral messenger ot Illi nois, has arrived here, the first messengers, with the first ot the electoral certificates of the vote lor President and Vice-President. The vote was filed to-day with the Secretary of the Senate. , ship canal. An effort for the passage of a hill for a ship canal around the falls of Niagara was made again in the House to-day, and was warmly sup ported by the Western members. It will be considered again about the 1st of January. JUDGE CHASE AND THE DAVIS TRIAL. Chief Justice Chase, who has recently return ed iroin Richmond, speaks in fl ittering terms of the Southern people. He thinks there are no people more loyal or more anxious tor peace aud harmony between the two sections, and that, if permitted to do so, they would very soou reco ver from the disastrous results of the rebellion. Tho action of the Chief Justice in sustaining the motion to quash the Davis indictment was an ticipated, but it was expected that the vindictive autre of Judge Underwood would prompt him to dissent aud necessitate the question beiug cer tified to the Supreme Court. The Chief Justice looks there is no doubt about his opinion bring sustained by the other members of the court. attaua TiitT'hmiff BfiBMBjjjglj BY TELEGRAPH.

Tbe Georgia Senator. The Washington correspondent of the Louis- vilie Courier-Journal telegraphs that paper on the 13th instant as follows : The Senate Judiciary Committee have agreed upon a report in the case of Mr. Hill, Senator elect from Georgia, which may be presented to i he Senate to morrow. The majority of the committee, it is said, recommend the admission of Mr. Hill to a seat in the Senate. From pre sent indications, such a recommendation will meet with strong opposition from several Radi cal Senators. A Washington letter says: “ By far the most significant object seen on the floor was the Hon. Mr. Menard, Congressmen elect from Louisiana. It was the first ray—or, rather, the first shade of the coming cloud. The race is to be represented on tbe floor ot Congress, and I looked with some interest on this first specimen. He is a man of about forty-five, of medium si»a as to bight, well formed, with an intelligent lace, rather good head, and ol a bright mulatto color. He is stud to be an amiable gentleman, and quite rich. He stood in au easy, quiet way near the loak-room, aud stood aloLe. My friends, the hot gospelers, did not surround him much, and Butler (the Leasi) did not put his arms arourftl his neck.” Hopeful Sljcn. The New York Tribune says it is provable that the delegation from Georgia will be admit ted to their seals in the two Houses of Cou- gresa The Oldest Person of Modern Times.—A | woman named Encarnaciou Oquento has died in ' the Potrero de la L&ngosta, Mexieo, at the alleged extraordinary age of one hundred and i 1m v-five >ears, six months and twelve days.— j Her age w as proven to be as stated by the bap- I tismal certificate lound in tbe archives of the ] city wherein she wm born. Montgomery, Dec. 17.—Tc-day the stock holders ot the railroad to run from Chattanooga to Meridian, elected N. D. Stanton, of Boston, President, and Ex-Gov. Patton, Vice-President. The House passed a bill applying the two and three per cent, fund of the Slate to the road from Decatur to Montgomery. It will probably pass the Senate. The House is discussing a reve nue bill. No signs ol adjournment yet. New Orleans, Dec. 17.—The habeas corpus returned this morning was granted by Judge Durell yesterday on the petition of about thirty seamen on the steamship Havana lying here, which hoisted the Peruvian .flag at Southwest Pass. On the writ being returned this morning' the attorney for the petitioners asked for their dismissal, as the Peruvian Consul had granted release from their contract to all who wished. The writ was accordingly dismissed. Memphis, Dec. 17. — A fight between thirty militia and citizens ot Augusta, Ark., occurred yesterday. Four militia killed.

Washington, Dee. 17.—Dispatches from St. Louis indicate the election ol Carl Schurz to the U. S. Senate. Judge Chase is quoted that he does not believe a single associate Justice has given an intima tion of his views on tbe constitutionality of le gal tenders. Customs from the 7th to the 12th inclusive, are $2,162,000. Hon. Robert J. Walker and W. W. Warden, the President’s private Secretaries, were before the Reconstruction Committee to-day, regarding the Alaska corruption fund. Revenue to day $184,000. The Reconstruction Committee continued the exauuin ition regarding Mississippi and Georgia. General Sypher, at the request of Menard, will present his (Menard’s) credentials to-mor row. Colonel Hnnt will present certain papers, also Simon Jones, when the whole matter, without argument or any recognition of Menard, will go to the Election Committee. The House bill repealing militia restrictions passed the Senate without comment Governor Bulloek, of Georgia, having been summoned before the Reconstruction Commit tee of the House, and requested to give his opin ion as to the proper mode of overcoming the difficulties in Georgia, recommended that there should be a liberal execution of the reconstruc tion acts, which required the primal organiza tion of the State Legislature to be made by tbe admission of only those who could take the test oath, or had been relieved of their disabilities by Congress. This course wonld restore the colored men to their seats, without any special legislation, and place the legislative department of Georgia in the hands cf loyal men.

The House was engaged all day on Stevens. London, Dec. 17.—The Telegraph thinks that Reverdy Johnson would have fared better in tbe Alabama claims negotiations bad he been less zealous lor peace. A Greek steamer has been chased and block aded in Syria by a Turkish man-of-war. Columbia, Dec.,*17.—In the Legislature to day a resolution was introduced authorizing the Governor to arm and equip 100 men as a re serve force to send to any county where acts of lawlessness are committed.

T HIS GUANO is found by experience to po seas fully equ*l, and, under lorne conditions, gi cater, ferti lising power thau Peruvian Guano. Its cost per ton is at least $30 less than Peruvian ; hence, planters can aitord to use it more liberally, and thus realize greater benefits. According to the experience of Wm. H. Young, Esq., of Columbus. Ga., to whom we refer, 209 pounds per ucre of Soluble Pacific Guano increased the crop three to four times; 400 pounds per acre increased the crop five to six times. Dihections for Use : —Strew one half the quantity to be applied per acre in the drill, or hill, and plant upon it. When the cotton or coru is brought to a stand, aud well up, ray lour or five inches, sow the other hali 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 largely, but mntnres 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 the last crop paid from 200 to 400 per cent, on the investment. Every planter, who is incredulous as to the-e facts, should at Last satisfy himself by a trial on a -mall scale, as the outlay will be small, while the experience gained will prove of great value. The culture of poor lanu will not compensate without the use of concentra’ed ferti lizers, and that which is best, at least cost, must be pre ferred. See testimonials annexed.

Officb of Udolfho Wolf*, Sole Importer \ OF THE SCHItSAM ABOKATIC SCHNAPPS 22 Beaveb Stbeet, N*w Yobr, Nov. 3,1868. j To the People of the Southern States : When the pure medicinal restorative, now so widely known as Wolfe’s Schiedam Sch; apps, was introduced into the world under the endorsement of four thousand eadiug members of the medical profession some twenty years ago, its proprietor was well aware that it could nol wholly escape the penalty attached to all new and useful preparations. He, therelore, endeavored to in vest it with strongest possible safeguard against couu- terfeiters, and to render all 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 aud properties having been thus ascertained, samples of theartic.e were lorwarded to ten thousand physiciaus, including all ihe leading practitioners in the United Slates, for purposes of experiment. A c.rcular, requesting a trial of tbe pre paration and report of the resuit, accompanied each spe cimen. Four thousand ol the most eminent medical men in the Union promptly responded. Their opinions ot the article were unanimously favorable. Sueh a prepara tion, they said, had long been wauted by the profession, as no reliance could be placed on the ordinary liquors of commerce, all of which were more or less adulterated, and therefore unfit for medical purpos. s. The peculiar excellence and streugth of the oil of juniper, whioh form ed one of the principal ingredients of the Schnapps, to gether wi.h an unalloyed character ot the alcoholic ele ment., give it, in the estimation of the faculty, a marked superiority over every other difiusive stlmulaut as a diu retic, Ionia, and restorative. These satisfactory credentials lrom professional men of the highest rank were published in a condensed form, and 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, tne label was copyrighted, a fast simile o the proprietor’s antograph signature was attaeuw to eaeh label aud cover, his name and that of tho prepara tion were embossed on the bottles, aud the corks were sealed with his private seaL No article bud ever been sold in this country under the name of Schnapps prior to the introduction of Wolfe’s Schiedam Aromatic Schnapps, in ltsol; aud the label was deposited, as his trade mark, Jn the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York during that year. It might be supposed by persons unacquainted w’tii 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 thrown around those Schnapps wonld have pre cluded the introductions and stle oi counterfeits. Thev seem, however, only to have stimulated the r.nmcity of impostors. The trade mark or the proprietor has been stolen; the indorsement which his Fcnieduru Aromatic Setanapp3 alone received from the medical profession has been claimed by mendacious humbugs; his labels and bottles have been imitated, his advertisements para phrased, his circulars copied, and worse than all, dishon orable retailers, afl.r disposing of the genuine contents of his bottles, have fllled them up with common gin, the most deleterious of all liquors, and Mas made his name and brand a cover for poison. The public, the medical profession, and the sick, fot whom the 8chiedam 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, manuftictured at the estab lishment of the undersigned, in Schiedam, Hollaed, is distilled lrom a barley of the finest quality, and flavored with an essential extract of the berry of the Italian juni per, of unuqualcd 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 aud families in the Southern Slates of the Bale of cheap imitations ot the Schiedam Aromatic Schnapps in those markets, and travelers who are in the habit of using it as an antidode to the baneful influence or un wholesome river water, testify that cheap gin, put up in Sheridan bottles, is frequently palmed off upon the un wary. The agents of the uuderslgned have been request ed to institute inquiries on the subject, aud to forward to him the names of such 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 hands of the most distinguished men of science in America, proofs unanswerable of the purity and medicinal excellence of the Schiedam Aro matic Schnapps; that he has expended many thousand dollars in surrounding it with guarantees aud safeguards which he designed should protect the public and himself agoiustfraudulent imitations; that ho has sho%vn it to be the only liquor in tlie world that can be uniformly de pended upon as unadulterated; that he has challenged investigation, analysis, comparaisou, and experiment in all its forms; and from every ordeal the preparation which b ars his name, sail, and trade mark, has coma off triumphant. He therefore fee’s it a duty he owes to his fellow-citizens generally, to the medical profession and the sick, to denounoe and expose the charlatans who counterfeit these evidences of identity, aad he calls upon the press and the public to aid him in hi* eflorts to rem edy so great an evil. The following letters and certificates from the leading physicians and chemkts oi this city will prove to the reader that all goods sold by the undersigned are all they are represented to be. UDOLPHO WOLFS. I feel bound to say that I legard your Schnapps as be- ingin every respeet pre-eminently pure, and deserving of medical patronage. At all event s, it is the purest possi ble article of Holland Gin, heretofore unobtainable, aud as such may be sAfely prescribed by physicians. DAVID L. MOTT. M. D., Fharmaeeutical Chamist, New York. 36 Paw Bybbet, New York, I Nov. 31,1864. j Udolpho Wolfe, Esq^ J resent; Deab Sib—1 have madqa shemisal examination of a sample of your Schiedam Schnapps, with the intent of determining if any foreign or injurious substances had been added to the simple distilled spirits. The examination has resulted in the conclusion that the sample contained no poisonous or harmful admix ture. I have been unable to discover any trace of the deleterious substances which are employed m the adul teration of liquors. I would not hesitate to use myself, or to recommend to others, for medicinal purposes, the Schiedam Schnapps aa an excellent and unobjectionable variety of gin. Very respectfully yours, (Wgiiedi CHA8. A. 8EKLY, Chemist. Nntr Yobx, 63 Cedar Street, ) November 26, 1867. J Udolpho Wolfe, Rsq., Present: Drab Sir—I have submitted to chemieal analysis two bottles of Schiedam Schnapps, which I took from a fresh package in your bonded warehouse, ann find as before, that the spirituous liquor is free lrom injurious ingredi ents or falsification ; that it has the marks of being aged and not recently prepared by mechanical admixture oi alcohol and aromatics. Respectfully, FEED. F. MAYER, Chemist. Mbw York, Tuesday, May 1. Udolpho Wolfe, Msq. j Dear Era—The want of pure wines and liquors forme dieinal purposes has been long felt by the profession, and thousands of lives have been sacrificed by the use of adulterated articles. Delirium tremens, and other dis eases or the brain aud nerves so rife in this conntry, are very rare in Enrope, owing, in a great degree, to tbu dif ference in the purity of the spirits sold. We hi ve tested the several articles imported and sold by you, including your Gin, which you sell under ths name of Aromatic Schiedam Schnapps, which we con sider jnstly entitled to ihe high reputation it has acquired in this conntry; aud from your long experience as a for eign importer, your Bottled Wines and Liqnors should meet with the same demand. We would recommend you to appoint some of the re spectable apothecaries In different parts of the city a agents for the sale of your Brandies and Wines, wher the profession can obtain the same when needed for medicinal purposes Wishing yon success in your new enterprise, We remain your obedient servants, VALENTINE MOTT, M.
