ATLANTA GEORGIA ■Suuday Morning* Dec. 20, TUB ATLANTA daily intelligences Lamest City, County, ani State Circulation or urr nm wun at mi pout | 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. Lrou tub unuiuKeiR ] 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. varied resources that rival for place in We heartily wish them the fullest enjoyment ot the growing wealth of the State, there is no one ^eir happilv-acquired riches. i . i j .u - -Mr. McMahon was wholly dependent upon more likely to lend the crowning agency than h5s ]abor ^ a pnnU;r to B ^ ppo ^ him8el{ the rich minerals lately discovered upon the ex- wife and child.

The proceedings of Judge Under wood are universally condemned here by all parties. The House Committee of Ways and Means reported a bill to-day, which was passed, allow ing tobacco dealers until the 13th of February to dispose of their old stock on which taxes have already been paid. The Committee con cluded that this would be a simple and at the 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 cago and other Western cities express great dis satislaction at this turn in events, as they fear it will be impossible to work off the large stocks on hand within the time given them. The committee adjourned not to meet again nntil after the holidays. The Committee on Public Expenditures, which is now charged with the Alaska investigation, had before it this morning Geo. W. Riggs, bank er, in this city, and United States Treasurer Spinner, both of whom denied any knowledge ot payments having been made to parties to 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 tion ot the matter, and the impression is that the charges will be decided to be utterly ground less. It was the purpose of Senator Sherman to call up his railroad bills to-day, but yieloiug to Sena tor Morton, these bills were postponed to the 5th ot January. Wm.

A Lady Sued for Bread* ot Peace of Mar- rlajie. 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 unfeigned congratulation, we announce that Mr. William McMahon, a poor lithogranhic printer at the establishment ot Messrs.

Some two or three weeks ago his 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 aDd independence ?

New Orleans, Dec. 19.—To night Secretary McCulloch telegraphed to Collector Fuller to be governed by section 60 of act of 1799; and in formed him that Secretary Seward bad charge of the question of the non compliance of the laws by the Peruvians. It is stated that Collec tor Fuller has ordered the revenue cutter Wil derness to intercept Maranon, should she at tempt to go to Bea without authority from the Custom House. Twenty-eight officers aud crew lor the Peru vian fleet arrived last night. The monitors are still lying at the mouth of the river. 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. bteamer Era No. 10 sunk in Red River on the 17th instant, with 8b6 bales of cotton on board.

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 will prove of great value. The culture of poor lana will not compensate wiihout the use of concentrated ferti lizers, aud that which is best, at least cost, must be pre ferred. See testimonials annexed.

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. UDOLFHO WOLFE. I feel bonnd to say that I iegard your Sshnappt as be ing in every respect pre-eminently pure, and deserving of medical patronage.

J 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, (Wgned) OHAS.

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.
