JfOB CONGRESS, SXYSNTH DISTRICT.
Oen. P. M. B. YOUNG,
Oi Bartow County.
There is somi> talk in Washington and New
York about Mr. John W. Ellis, President of the
First National Bank of Cincinnati, for Secretary
of the Treasury. It is claimed that he is a very
oompetent man, and that he is from the right
section of the country for the peace of the Treas
ury Department, and that he has friends of great
influence, while Grant’s disposition will be to
appoint to that office a business man, rather than
a politician.
Senator Henderson says that Congress is
responsible for the present Indian difficulties;
and that if the House had passed his appropri
ation bill any time before May last, the time
agreed upon by the Indians and the Peace Com
mission for the settlement ot the annuities, etc.,
there would have been peace on the plains alter
ward.
Senator Doolltllc of Wisconsin.
The following merited compliment to the
distinguished Senstor from Wisconsin, we copy
from the New York World :
Senator Doolittle retires from the Senate,
where he has so long and so ably represented
Wisoonrin, on the approaching 4th ot March,
and will resume the practice ot his profession,
in the United Stales Courts exclusively.
He leaves Washington poor, where so many
members ot Congress have made fortunes. He
closes, for the present, at least, a political career
which a little subserviency, a little less ligid ad
herence to his oath ot office and to the convic
tions of his conscience, would have enabled
him to protract as long as he pleased. And the
country loses in its national councils that which
no government can aflord to lose—political in
dependence, personal Integrity, and moral cour
age.
Senator Doolittle—pardon the pun, gentle
reader, has done much to the country. If he
leaves Washington and that once august body,
the Senate of the United States, poor, where so
many of his compeers in Congress have amassed
fortunes, he leaves it rich in the coufidense and
affections of a grateful people, especially of the
South. A gifted gentleman, and an honest man;
a statesman, the peer of any worthy of the
name*-alas, how few 1—in a body that once
boasted of a Webster, a Calhoun, and a Olay, he
now retires to private life poor indeed in purse,
but with his honor untarnished, his name
revered. Those, however, who may indulge in
the vain imagination that his political career is
closed—save by that divine dispenation which
closes the career ot the good as well as the bad
in this life—are mistakeu. The country cannot
do without such men—his State cannot do with
out him. For a time his enemies—the enemies
alike ot the country—may triumph over him,
but as
“ Truth crusued to earth will rise again,”
will he rise triumphant over the errors and ma
lignity ot that radicalism which has brought the
country into eontempt abroad, and ruin at home.
Wisconsin, we prediet, will soon discover her
error, and again demand the services of her in
corruptible and able Senator. If, however, she
shall be remiss in this, her's will be the shame,
while the nation will, in its return to reason,
demand his services. It will not be the first
time in the history of the American Republic,
when a State has repudiated a gilted and patri
otic son, and the country called loudly for his
services. So will it be with the discarded Wis
conain Senator, if that State does not soon again
demand the services of her patriotic and noble
son.

Concerutuic Texai,
Atlanta, December 18,1868.
When I left Atlanta in May last to join a geo
logical corps on the west of Texas, I promised
to write back at the completion of ray tour. As
circumstances forbid a lengthy report, I must
omit my pleasant sports with the deer, antelope,
and buffalo, and only ask a place in your col
umns to detail such facta as I may think of pub
lic interest.
Having once lived in Texas, my extensive
travels through the entire State afforded me a
favorable opportunity of noticing the many
changes a few years have brought over that
country. On entering from the southern bor
der, the first of these changes that forcibly at
tracted my attention was the great diminution
of horses, mules, and cattle on the prairies since
the year 1861. The late visitation ot the grass
hoppers the previous fall, in connection witli the
severe drought, ao Impoverished the grass that
more than halt the stock ot every description
perished last spring for the want of food. The
range now, however, ia butter than it has
ever been known within the recollection ot the
oldest inhabitant, at this season of the year ; and
it is to be hoped that the stock interest, tor
wbieh Texas has so long been famous, will again
be revived throughout the State. Early last
spring the grasshopper re-appeared in vast num
bers, entirely destroying every prospect in both
field and garden, but they fortunately disappear
ed soon enough for the energetic farmers to re
plant their ruined fields in corn and cotton,
which, through the favor of a good season, have
abundantly rewarded them this fall for their pa
tience and toll. Hitherto, the system of farming
has been illy adapted to the peculiarties
of soil and climate, and from this fact
it was not thought prior to the war that
cotton could be successfully cultivated in the
high prairie lands in the State; but late experi
ment in deep plowing, which absorbs the winter
rains and thus prevents drought through the
summer, has sufficiently demonstrated that that
staple can be even more profitably raised in
these localities than in any other portion of the
South. The soil is so level and free from ob
struction, that it can be principally tilled by the
gang plows, with very little labor; while the
falls are usnally dry and admiiably adapted to
the getting out of crops. All these advantages
have lately become so apparent to the Inhabi
tants, that every other interest is rapidly yield
ing to the culture of this staple product; and,
with the premium that Texas already holds in
our ports for superior quality, it is not unlikely
that in a few years more she will be justly famed
as the greatest cotton State of the South. An
other new source of wealth, of scarcely less
importance to the State than the one last men
tioned, is likely to arise trem the vast production
of wild grapes in the interior. Wine made from
these grapes last summer, at a cost of only one
dollar per gallon, took the premium from the
medical board at Austin, over the best imported
article that was selling at from four to six dollars
per gallon. A margin so tempting to the for
tune-seeker cannot tail, in a few years more, to
bring the most efficient energy into that lucra
tive department. But amid all the new and j departure ot the whole party for Manchester.

The House Committee of Ways and Means
reported a bill to-day, which was passed, allow

to dispose of their old stock on which taxes

same tim® a safer way to dispose ot the ques
tion thau to authorize the introduction of a new
stamp as at first proposed. The delegation now
here representing the tobaaco interests of Chi

satislaction at this turn in events, as they fear it
will be impossible to work off the large stocks

The Committee on Public Expenditures, which

secure the favorable action of Congress in mak
ing the Alaska appropriation. Mr. Riggs said
he had noticed the newspaper statements, but
that he wholly discredited them. To-morrow
the Hon. Robert J. Walker will be before the
committee, and Mr. Bodisco, who was in charge
of the Russian Legaiion at the time, will be re
quested to appear helore the committee and
make a statement. This he will'probably de
cline to do, not because of any facts in his pos
session, but because, under the recognized rules
of the Foreign Diplomatic Corps, he is prohib
ited from appearing in any court as a witness,
The understanding is that the comrailtee have
determined to make a very thorough investiga

the charges will be decided to be utterly ground
less.

A London paper says : An inquiry, took place
on Wednesday before the Court of Queen’s
Bench io Dublin, and a jury, to assess damages
iu an action brought to recover compensation
laid at £2,000, for breach of promise marriage.
The plaintiff, Mr. Thomas Jackson Marks, lived
near Ardee iu the county of Louth, and in 1860
he entered into an engagement to marry ilm
lemale defendant, Mrs. Rowland, then Miss
Smith, who also lived in the county of Louth.
After some time the engagement was broken off,
and the plaintiff then went to New Westminster,
in British Colombia. While there a correspon
dence was opened between him and Miss Smith,
which led to a renewal of the marriage engage
ment. The letters that passed were of the most af
fectionate character,and prophesied the happiness
the parties would enjoy when the engagement
was ratified. In August, 1867, the.plaintifl sold
off his farm in Colombia to come home to get
married. When he reached Canada, a letter
awaited him from Miss Smith, stating that she
could not really love him, that the supposed
affection was a mistake, and that the engage
ment must be broken off. She shortly afterwai ds
married Mr. Rowland, who wrote to the plain
tiff stating that he had long possessed the affec
tions of the young lady. The letters between
the parties were read to the jury, and the injury
to the plaintiff commented on. It was alleged
that the plaintiff disposed of his farm, and left
Colombia only because he expecled to marry
the defendant The jarv found a verdict for the
plaintiff—damages two hundred pounds.
A Poor Printer is Luck.—In a spirit of

lather arrived in Philadelphia from Manchester,
and not succeeding in hearing of the wherea
bouts of his son, advertised for him in ihe Phil
adelphia papers, and gave notice of the hand
some bequest. A friend of Mr. McMahon’s,
chancing to see the advertisement, clipjied it,
inclosed it in a letter ot explanation, and tians-
mitted it to the lucky heir. On receiving it yes
terday, Mr. McMahon was delirious wish joy,
and at once quit work. Auer receiving the
lelicitalious of his feliow-workmen, lie hastened
home and imparted the glorious news to his
wite. Is it possible to describe the exuberant
joy felt aud displayed by these humble people
on their sudden transition from poverty to wealth

of the question of the non compliance of the

New Orleans, Dec. 19.—Steamer Havana or
Mavanon is again in trouble, Collector having
threatened seizure on ground of violation ot
law in not exhibiting proper papeis when
called for, and that change ol flag was irregular.
The facts relative to the matter are, the vessel
was purchased in New York by the Peruvian
government, aud owners contracting to deliver
at South-West Pass, or wherever the Peruvian
monitors might be ; upon arrival at South-West
Pass, transfer was to be made, Peruvian flag
hoisted—former Captain remaining as sailmg
master. Her American Register sent to New
York for cancellation. Signor Garcia has been
notified by former owner that her register has
been cancelled. It was not inteuded to bring
the vessel to this city, but while lying at South-
West Pass, repairs to machinery become neces
sary. She came here under Peruvian flag, and
has since been victimized—misfortune having
caused misunderstanding between Minister Gar
cia and Collector Fuller. Yesterday custom of
ficer boarded the Havana, and demanded to see
her papers. Captain replied the vessel belonged
to Peruvian navy, and had no papers to exhibit,
and referred officer to Minister Garcia. The
latter has received no communication in ref
erence to the matter, though he was notified by
custom authorises that the Havana belonged to
his government, and his readiness to answer
any charges which might be brought agftinst her
The whole trouble originated in coming here,
had she remained at Southwest Pais no notice
would have been taken of her.
Collector Fuller states that charges have been
made against vessels for violation of law;
amongst, others, that powder had been landed
from her, and the law compelled him to seize
her unless papers are produced regularly formed.
He, however, has relerred the matter to the au
thorities at Washington, and will take no further
steps unless upon advices from them.

MERCHANTS AND SHIPPERS.
T HIS GUANO is found by experience to po sees frilly
equal, and, under tome conditions, gieater, ferti-
lzing power than Denman Guano. Its cost per ton is
at least $30 less than Peruvian; hence, planters can
afloid 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 reler, 20l) pounds per
acre of Soluble Pacific Guano increased the crop three
to lour times; 400 pounds per acre increased the crop
five to six times.
Directions fob Use Strew one half the quantity to
be applied per acre in the drill, or hit), and plaut npon it.
When the cotton or corn is brought to a stand, and well
up, ray lour or five inches, sow the other halt broadcast
between the rows, before the plows. This is foand to
be a better method than to apply all in the drill.
This Guano not only increases theorop so laigely, but
matures it from two to four weeks earlier—thus adding
so Jong 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 erop
paid from 200 to 400 prr cent, on the investment.
Every planter, who is incredulous as to these facts,
should at hast satisfy hirr self by a trial on a small scale,
as the outlay will be small, while the experience gained

of thb Schutdam Aromatic Schnapps, l
92 Beaver Street, New York, Not. 3,1868.)
To the People of the Southern States:
When the pure medicinal restorative, now so widely
known as Wolfe’s Schiedam Schoapps, was introduced
into the world under the endorsement of four thousand
eading members of the medical profession some twenty
yearwago, ita proprietor was well aware that it could
not wholly escape the penalty attached to all new uud
useful preparations. He, theretore, endeavored to in
vest it with strongest possible safeguard against couu-
terieiters, and to render all attempt* to pirate it difficult
and dangerous. It was submitted to distinguished
chemists for enalysia, aud prououneed by them the pu
rest spirits ever manufactured, its purity and properties
having been thus asceriained.-sampies of theartic.e were
lorwarded to ten thousand physicians, including all the
leading practitioners in the United States, for purposes
of experiment. A circular, requesting a trial of tho pre
paration and report of the result, accompanied each spe
cimen. Foot thousand of the most eminent medical meu
in ihe Union promptly responded. Their opinions of
the article were unanimously favorable. Snoh a prepara
tion, they said, had long been wanted 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 purposes. The peculiar
excellence and strength of the oil of juniper, which form
ed one of the principal ingredients of the Schnapps, to
gether wilh an unalloyed character of the alcoholic ele
ment, give it, in the estimation of the faculty, a marked
superiority over every other diffusive stimulant as a diu
retic, tonie, and restorative.
These satisfactory credentials iron 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 precaution,
against fraud were also adopted; a patent was obtained
or the article, the label was copyrighted, a foe 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 ths 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 of Wolfe’s Sehiedam Aromatic
Schnapps, in 1851; and the label was deposited, as his
trade mark, In the United States District Court for the
Southern District of New York during that year.
It might be supposed by persons unacquainted with
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 ao
carefully thrown around these Schnapps would have pre
cluded the introductions and sale ot counterfeits. Tnev
seem, however, only to have stimulated the rapaeity of
impostors. The trade mark or the proprietor has been
stolen; the indorsement which his Schiedam Aromatic
Schnapps 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, after disposing of the genuine cont ruts
of his bottles, have filled them up with common gin, the
most deleter oils of all liquors, and thus made his name
and brand a eover for poison.
The public, the medical profession, avd the sick, for
whom the Schiedam Aromatic Schnapps is prescribed as
a remedy, arc equally interested with the proprietor in
the detection and suppression of these nefarious prac
tices. Ths genuine article, manufactured at th* estab
lishment of the undersigned, iu Schiedam, Holland, is
distilled from a barley of the finest quality, and flavored
with an essential extract of the berry of the Italian jnni-
per, of uuuqualed purify. B> a process unknown iu the
preparation of any other liquor, it is freed from every
acrimonious and corrosive element.
Complaints have been reoeived from the leading physi
cians and families in the Southern States of the sale of
cheap imitations of the Schiedam Aromatic Schnapps in
those markets, and travelers who are in the habit of
using it as au antidode to the baneful influence of un
wholesome river water, testify that cheap gin, put np iu
Sheridan bottles, is frequently palmed oif upon the un
wary. The agents of the undersigned have been request
ed to institute inquiries on the snbject, and to forward
to him the names of such parties as they may ascertain
to be engaged in tho 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 Sehiedam Aro
matic Schnapps; that he has expended many thousand
dollars in surrounding it with guarantees and safeguards
which he designed should protect the publio and himself
against fraudulent imitations; that he has shown it to be
the only liquor in the world that can be uniformly de-
peuded upon as unadulterated; that he has challenged
investigation, analysis, comparaison, and experiment in
all Reforms; and from every ordeal the preparation
which b nra his name, seal, and trade mark, has come off
triumphant. He therefore feels it a duty he owes to his
fellow-citizens generally, to the medieal profession and
the sick, to denounce and expose the charlatans who
counterfeit these evidences of identity, and he ealls upon
the press and the public to aid him in his efiorts to rem
edy so great au evil.
The following letters and certificates from the leading
physicians and chemists of this city will prove to tie
reader that all goods sold by the undersigned are all they
are represented to be.

I feel bonnd to say that I iegard your Sshnappt as be

Ddolpho Wolfe, Esq., J resent:
Dear Sir—1 have made a chemical examination of a
sample of your Schiedam Schuuppa, with the intent of
determining if any foreign or injurious substances hud
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 hare been unable to discover any trace of the
deleterious substances which are employed in the adul
teration of liquors. I would not hesitate to use myself,
or to recommend to others, for medicinal purposes, the
Schiedam Schnapps as an excellent and unobjectionable
variety of gin.
Very respectfully yours,

that the spirituous Lquor is free from injurious ingredi

and not recently prepared by mechanical admixture of

Udolpho Wolfe, Esq.:
Dear Sir—The want of pure wines and liquors forme
dicinal purposes has been long felt by the profession,
and thousands of lives have been sacrificed by the use of
adulterated articles. Delirium tremens, aud other dis
eases of the brain and nerves so rife in this conntry, are
very rare in Europe, owing, in a great degree, to the dif
ference in the parity of the spirits sold.
W* have tested the several articles imported and sold
by you, including your Gin, which you sell under the
name of Aromatic Schiedam Schnapps, which we con
sider justly entitled to the high reputation it has acquired
iu this country; aud from your long experience as a for
eign importer, your Bottied Wines and Liquors 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 lor the sale of your Brandies and Wines, wher
the profession can obtain the same when needed for
medicinal purposes.
Wishing you success in your new enterprise,
We remain your obedient servants,
