^•ke I'p to Your Interests.
Ireat railway interests now engage the
lof our people. They are of vast impor-
9, and should be energetically puihcd
( f Atlanta does not come to the rescue,
[»e flanked on one side by the Selma
»n road, and on the other by the Griffin
*h Alabama road. It becomes her to
move without delay and with energy
pea carefully compiled from the United
2DSU8 returns—the highest authority
-published in our columns, we showed
reen 1850 and 1800, the increased value
toductions on the Western and Atlantic
.mounted to over four millions ($4,000,-
jars. All this additional product, di
indirectly, found its way to Atlanta,
*be volume of business, and to com-
Ihr selling, or profits o i goods sold the
m, two lines of road are projected from
city, of about the same length as that, with
connections quite as extensive, and, it possible,
more valuable. It is only reasonable to assume
that on each of these the annual increase will
be at least proportionate, and that, hence, these
roads will, in a few years, add not less than ten
million dollars ($10,000,000) to the trade ol
Atlanta.
Why will our business men sleep over their
vital interests? Why do they hesitate to put
their shoulders to the wheel, when, by doing so,
they can insure their success ? It is tbe business
and the profits of the day that make the grand
aggregate of the year. A little help from each
merchant able to subscribe will build tbe roads.
Let them come lorward and do so at once.
nijralertoua Deuita.
The Knoxville Prestand Herald learns that
on Thursday morning last, a young man named
Northern was found on the floor of bis grocery,
near ihe depot in New Market, with his throat
cut and lile extinct, though the body was still
warm. Nothing is known as to whether the
unfortunate man committed Buicide or was mur
dered. It had been but a short time since a
mao of tbe same name was murdered near tbe
river, a short distance lrorn New Market, and
only a few months before that a very worthy
young man named Clevenger was murdered
near the same place, and no clue yet obtained
as to who the murderers were in either case.
This occurred only about twenty miles from tbe
Governor’s headquarters. Some of liis melish
are wanted in that locality.
Ah important decision was made by the
Supreme Court yesterday morning, in the
case oi Arteinus Gould vs. Jonathan Miller,
from Richmond county. In 1862, Miller bor
rowed from Gould $3 000 00 in Confederate
Treasury notes, for which he gave his note pay
able “three years after date.”
The defendant sought to get rid of the pay
ment ot the note, on the ground that the con
sideration (being Confederate currency) was
illegal.
The Court below overruled the defense, and
held that the note could be recovered on, sub
ject to the provisions of the ordinance of 1865,
allowing Confederate contracts to be scaled.
The •Supreme Court was not unanimous in
its opinion, Justices Warner and McCay affirm
ing the judgment ot the Court below, and Chief
Justice Brown dissenting.
It may be proper to remark that the Chief
Justice put his decision upon the 2d paragraph
of the 17th section ot the 5th article ot the new
Constitution ot the State of Georgia.
This decision of Justices McCay and Warner
is in the very teeth of the present State Consti
tution, and contrary to the United States Con
stitution, and in conflict with the decision ot
the United States Courts on the same subject.
We predict this decision will be overruled—
the United States Constitution and laws now
being paramount. Disagreeable as this para
mount authority may be to many of us, we must
submit to it, and make the best ol it.
Railroads vertna Wagons-No. 2.
The mere reduction of the rale of freight is
not the only advantage derived from railway
communication. Ol course, all who think at
all, are aware that there are many others, but
we propose now to touch upon only one or two
of the most important.
The first item worthy of note is the difference
in time, assuming as a basis the two points allu
ded to in article No. 1. In that it was calcula
ted it would require four days to make the dis
tance by wagon, whereas by railway it requires
only as many hours. So that grain shipped one
morning at a point at the disiance lrorn Atlanta,
assumed, may reach Atlauta, be sold, and the
money received by the shipper the next morn
ing. Thus the owner has an opportunity to
•vail himself of any advance in the market and
obtain a higher price for his produce.
Another item is, greater security and certainty
of transportation. If the roads are bad. the
wagon mires, or the wagon iiself may break
down. All wagoners know what a predicament
they are in, on the road under such circum
stances. Help is hard to get, it to be bad at all,
and the delay and Vexation extreme. But, it
may be argued, railway trains sometimes run off
the track, or bridges wash away. So they d >;
but a train can be got on the track again and
reach its destination before the wagon will be
ready to start.
Railways, in a region destitute of navigable
waters, are a substitute for them. Not only so,
they are successful competitors with them, for
the reason that they are more expeditious iu
combination with greater security oi transpor
tation, promptness and certainty of delivery,
and lower rates ot insurance.
A Choice of Alternative*.
However earnestly we at the Sooth have en
deavored to kiss and make friends with our
Northern neighbors, and however anxiously we
have sought to convince them that “let us have
peace” is the burthen of our thoughts by day and
our dreams by night, it is evident that oar efforts
have been “love’s labor lost,” and that they will
insist upon it that we are rebels, traitors, and
ku-kluxes, and that the least guilty and wicked
of us are rebel sympathizers. They will have it
that we whip negroes for the mere fun
ot the thing, that our favorite field-
sport is to hunt down negroes with
dogs and then hang them, and that it is an
every day pastime among us to torture a Union
man or a Northerner. If we resent and repel
with indignation these assaults upon our fair
fame, we are said to be rampant rebels against
whom “more troops” are the only safeguard. If,
determined to “swear not at all,” we limit our
denial to the meekest “nay, nay,” we are per
jurers and dissemblers, against whose cunning
and duplicity indiscriminate disfranchise
ment and the most ingenious test oaths are
necessary defences. If possessing our
souls with patience we say nothing
and “ keep on never-minding,” wo are
buIIcq and contumacious. Therefore, as it is
our inevitable fate to be misunderstood and mis
represented, we think that of the three it is lar
better for us to be silent and keep on naver
minding, sullenness and contumacy being at the
worst negative vices. We have plenty to do
plenty to occupy our time and attention, and it
is far wiser and more profitable ior ns to attend
to our own business than to mind what Snmner
proposes, Bntler recommends, Bout well thinks
or Ashley says. Do wh&t we may, we cannot
reform these individuals. Were we all angels,
they would denounce us as devils, and those
who worship Butler and Sumner as the infalli
ble Popes of republicanism, whose standard of
literaiy excellence and historical truth is the
New York Tribune, Tilton’s Independent, and
tbe Anti-Slavery Standard, and whose acme of
high art is the obscene wood cuts of Harper’s
Weekly, will continue to believe in our diabol
ism, no matter how we may exert ourselves and
exhaust our patience to persuade them that we
are poor, inoffensive mortals, praying coutinu
ally “ let us have peace."
The fact is that we have got^^step-mother
who does not like a bone in our sain, who insists
on managing the family as shegpleases, and of
whom wu cannot possibly get rid. If we resent
abuse and ill usage we only get the plates and
dishes thrown at our head and we are sent to
bed without any supper, if we beg pardon and
promise never to do so any more, step-mother
scolds us a9 miserable hypocrites, and whips us
for our want of spirit; and if we keep out of the
way, and avoid aggravating tbe violent old lady,
we know that we are abused and reviled, but
it i9 more bearable than the more active evi
dences ot the step-nAternal ill-will.
In time, if we make plenty of cotton, bnild
numbers of fine factories, develop rich mines of
gold and silver and iron and coal, construct
miles upon miles of railroads, improve our
lands, get rich, was fat and prosperous, step,
mother will grow tired of scolding, will let us
alone, allow us to appear in her presence with
out incurring anger or punishment, and finally
when we have money in both pockets and can
help to support the family, we may be consider
ed honored and welcome guests at the family
table.
The more we talk politics, the more we resent
insult; the more we complain of injustice and
wroDg, the worse it is for us. Sumner, Butler,
Bout well, Ashley, the Tribune, Independent, Anti-
Slavery standard, and Harper'e Weekly, have it
all their own way for the present We are
poor, weak, and defenseless. Let us go to work,
then, and make cotton, build factories, work
mines, construct railroads, improve our lands, get
rich, fat, and prosperous; and though for a little
while we may be denounced as sullen and contu
macious, as we get riob, fat, and*prosperous, we
shall bcoome less sullen and contumacious, and
when we have money in both pockets and can
help to support the family, especially that
branch of it which resides near Cape Cod and
Martha’s Vineyard, it will certainly be found
that we are not so bad after all, and then we
can have peace. Meantime do not let us aggra
vate stepmother, but let us keep on never mind
ing aud apply ourselves to putting money in
both pockets.

Special Correspondence of the Baltimore Gazette.
Prom Washington.
W ashinqton, Dec. 18,1868.
Although both Houses of Congress were en
gaged to-day in paying the last sad tributes to
deceased members, yet the proceedings were not
eulirely devoid ot interest iu other respects. It
will bo remembered that Congress, at its last
session, authorized the Postmaster General to
contract wiih the New York Transportation
Company for carrying the foreign mails; also,
that Mr. Randall retused to execute the contract
uuder the extraordiuary provisions of a law
which placed three millions of bonds, endorsed
by the government, in the hands of irresponsible
parties who wished to undertake a contract that
upon its face would indicate fraud. The details
ol this whole transaction have been fully stated
in this correspondence, but the parties interested
in this magnificent operation are not to be thus
choked off by Postmaster General Randall, and
to-day a joint resolution was offered in the Sen
ate declaring the true intent and meauing of the
law and directing the Postmaster General to en
ter into a contract according to its provisions.
Should this joint resolution pass both Houses,
the responsibility ot the transaction will then be
shitted from the Department to the shoulders ot
Congress, and the New York Transportation
Company will secure an endorsement by the
Government upon their bonds to the amount of
three millions of dollars, whether they ever
carry a bag of foreign mails or not.
Tlie speech ot 8enator Dixon yesteiday is the
subject ot much comment in Congressional cir
cles, and several prominent Senators, including
Fessenden and Sherman, say that this speech
has destroyed all prospects lor success ol Mr.
Mortou’s financial scheme.
The opposition ot the Senate to the proposi
tion of placing the Indian Bureau under the
control of the War Department has been so
strongly developed that there remains no doubt
of tbe defeat of the House bill, which was
passed at the dictation of General Grant. On
the other hand the Honse will never agree to
ti e popular idea in the Senate—to create an inde
pendent Department tor the management oi the
indian affairs will remain as at present, under
the control ot the Interior Department—the ad
vice of military commanders to the contrary
notwithstanding.
Menard, tne negro member elect to Congress,
is indignant to-day at the manner in which the
Radicals disposed ot his case. He was elected
only tor the residue of the present Congress,
which expires on ihe 4th of March, and he says
the relerence of his case to the Committee on
Elections he regards as equivalent to his rejec
tion, and that he shall so report to his colored
constituents in Louisiana.* Menard further says
that the whole thing was an experiment on his
part to test the sincerity of those who were pro
claiming negro equality. He could have secured
the nomination lor the next Congress, bat he
thought it best to accept aneieciiou for the frac
tion of the present Congress as a test whether a
negro was & “ man and brother.” Mr. Cypher,
it appears, had agreed to urge his claims to a
seal under the rule heretofore observed, that the
“broad seal” was prima fade evidence sufficient
to seat tbe holder. But when his credentials
were presented this morning, Menard, who was
present iu the House, had the mortification to
see his case go to the Committee on Rl*ciions
without a word of comment of discussion, as if
by a preconcerted arrangement and understand
ing among the Radicals. Thus ends the first
effort ot American citizens of African descent
to be represented in Congress.
Now that all Congressional legislation has
closed nntil after the holidays, members speak
freely their views as to the policy of Congress
for the residue of the session, la the House,
such men as Washburne, Schenck, Schofield
and Wilson are opposed to doing any business
beyond the passage ot the necessary appropria
tion bills, and contend that everything else
should go over until the new administration
comes in. Another and a larger class, but less
influential, say that all unpopular legislation
had better be disposed of at the present session,
and not throw tbe burthen upon General Grant’s
shoulders. The impression now is that very
little general legislation will take place.
The bill introduced into the Senate to day
providing lor a new Executive Mansion has
been anticipated in this correspondence. This
bill appropriates $125,000 for the ground on
which the building is to oe erected. The site is
well selected, but will prove to be most incon
venient to the qrmy of applicants for Executive
favors which constantly hang around Wash
ington.
The Convention of “ Labor Unions,” which
has been in session here lor some days, has pre
pared a series of resolutions to be laid before

A Singular Will.—A lawyer in New York
was recently called on by a maiden lady to
draw up her will. She was related to one ot
the oldest families in New York, and has taken
much pride in the lack Always a regular
church-goer and devoted to its welfare, and now
with the view of death before her eyes, she has
instructed her counsellor, an aged man and a
veteran in the professional ranks, to draw her
will. Tbe subject matter of the will was as fol
lows: Alter providing that her ffineralexpenses
be paid, and, she alleges, having no debts to
pay, she devised and bequeaths all her estate
both real and personal, to a certain religious cor
poration for ttfApurpose ot building a church on
ground to be bought for that purpose; then
after she had remained in the vault long enough
she directs her executors to use her dust and
entire remains to make mortar with to lay the
corner-stone of the edifice, thus giving all her
property, both real aud personal, and even her
dust, to build a house of God with ; and as she
has devoted berselt as faithfully as she knows
how during her lite to the interests of her par
ticular church, so at and after her death she still
does all in her power. The will was so drawn
BY TELEGRAPH.

SOLUBLE PACIFIC GUANO.
T HIS GUANO is found by experience to po sess fully
equal, and, under some conditions, g: eater, ferti-
izing power than Peruvian Guano. Its cosi per ton is
at ieast $30 leas than Peruvian; hence, planters can
afiord to use it more liberally, and thus realize greater
benefits.
According to the experience of Wm. H. Young, Eeq.,
of Columbus. Ga., to whom we reler, 20, pounds per
acre of Soluble Pacific Guauo increased ihe crop three
to four times; 400 pounds per acre increased the crop
five to six times.
Directions for Use Strew one half the quantity to
be applied per acre in the drill, or hill, snd plant upon it.
When ihe cotton or corn is brought to a stand, and wel'
up. ay lour or five inches, sow the other hai; broadcast
between the rows, before the plows. This is found to
be a better method than to apply alt in ihe diiil.
This Guano not only increases theorop so la gelv, but
matures it from two to tour weeks earlier—thus adding
so long a time to the bearing season, and makes a good
crop, notwithstanding ft 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 io incredulous as t . the-e facts,
should at It ast satisfy hin 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 lam wilt
not compensate wi hout the use of concentra ed ferti-
liaere, and that which is best, at ieast cost, must be pre
ferred. See testimonials annexed. For further infor
mation, certificates, price, e c , ap; ly to

Office of Udolfho Wolfe, Sole Importer i
or the Schiedam Aromatic Schnapps L
22 Beaver Stbeat, New York, Nov. 8, 1868.)
To the People of the Southern States;
When the pure medicinal restorative, now so widely
known as Wolfe’a 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 couid
not wholly escape the penalty attached to all now and
useful preparations. He, therefore, endeavored to in
vest it with strongest possible safeguard against coun
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 and properties
having been thus ascertained, samples or theartic e were
forwarded to ten thousand physicians, including alt the
leading practitioners in the United States, for purposes
ot experiment. A circular, requesting a trial of the pre
paration and report ot the result, accompanied each spe
cimen. Four thousand ol the most eminent mediud men
m ilie Union promptly responded. Their opinions ot
the article were unanimously favorable. Such a p. epara
tion, they said, had long been wanted by the proiea.-uoJ,
as no reliance couid be placed on the ordinary liqaora of
commerce, all of which were mora or less adulterated,
and therefore unfit for medical purpos. s. The peculiar
excellence and strength of the oil of juniper, which form
ed one of the principal ingredients of the Bchnapps, tu
rret her with an unalloyed character oi the alcoholic ele
ment, give it, in the estimation of the faculty, a marked
superiority over every other diftusive stimulant a* a diu
retic, tonic end restorative.
These, sjiistaotory credentials irom professional men
of the highest rank were published in a condensed form,
and enclosed witlveaeh bottle of the Schnapps, as one of
tbe guarantee* of its genuineness. Other precautions
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 the corks were
sealed with his private seal. No article had ever been
sold m this country under the name of Schnapps prior
to the introduction of Woife’s Schiedam Aromatic
Schnapps, in 1851; and the label was deposited, a* his
trade mark, in the United States District Court for the
Southern District of New York daring 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 so
carefully thrown around these Schnapps wonld have pre
cluded the introductions and sale ot counterfeits. They
seem, however, only to have stimulated the rapacity of
impostors. The trade mark of the proprietor has been
stolen; the indorsement which hie bchiedam Aromatic
Schnapps alone received from the medical profession
has been clair. ed by mendacious humbugs; his labels
and bottles have been imitated, his advertisements para
phrased, his circulars copied,.and worse than aU,.dishon-
orab.e retailers, after disposing of the genuine contents
of his bottles, have filled them np with common gin, the
most deleter.ous of all liquors, and thus made his name
and brand a cover for poison.
The public, the medical profession, and the sick, fot
whom the Schiedam Aromatic Schnapps is prescribed as
a remedy, are equally Interested with the proprietor in
the detection and suppression of these nefarious prac
tices. The genuine article, manufactured at the estab
lishment of the undersigned, in Schiedam, Holland, is
distilled Irom a barley of the finest quality, and flavored
with an essential extract of the berry of the Italian juni
per, ot unequaled purity. Bv a process unknown in the
preparation of any other liquor, it is freed from every
acrimonious and corrosive element.
Complaints have been received from the leading physi
cians and families in tbe Southern Statea of the sale of
cheap imitations of the Schiedam Aromatic Schnapps in
those markets, aud traveler* who are in the habit of
using it as an antidode to the baneful influence of un
wholesome river water, testily that cheap gin, pat up in
Sheridan bottles, is frequently palmed off Hpon the un
wary. The agents of the undersigned have been request
ed to institute inquiries on the subject, and to forward
to him the names of such parties as they may ascertain
to b, engaged in the atrocious system of deception. In
conclusion, the undersigned would say that he has pro
duced, fumi under the hands of the moat 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 publte and himself
against fraudulent, imitations; that he has shown It to be
the only liquor in the world that can be uniformly de_
pended npon as unadulterated; that he has challenged
investigation, analysis, comparaison, and experiment in
all its forma; and from every ordeal the preparation
which b ars his name, seal, and trade mark, has come off
triumphant. He therefore leela it a duty he owes te hi*
follow-citizens generally, to the medical profession and
the sick, to denounce and expose the charlatans who
counterfeit these evidences of identity, and he calls npon
the press and the public to aid him in hi* efforts to rem
edy so great an evil.
The following letters and certificates from the leading
physicians and chemists of this city will prove to the
reader that ail goods soid by the undersigned are all they
are represented to be.
UDOLFHO WOLFE.
I feel bound to say that I regard your Schnapps as be
gin every respect pre-eminently pure, and deserving of
medical patronage. At all events, it is the pnrest possi
ble article of Holland Gin, heretofore unobtainable, and
as such may be safely prescribed by physician a

Dear Sir—I have made a chemical examination of a
sample of yonr Schiedam Schnapps, with the intent of
determining if any foreign or iujurious substances had
been added to tbe simple distilled spirits.
The examination has resulted in the eonelasion that
the sample contained no poisonous or harmful admix
ture. I have been unable to discover any trace of tbe
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 respect!ally yonr*.

Udolpho Wolfe, Esq., Present:
Drab Sir—I have submitted to chemical analysis two
bottles of Schiedam Schnapps, which I took from a fresh
package in your bonded warehouse, and find as before,
that the spiritnona liquor is free from injurious ingredi
ents or falsification ; that it baa the marks of being aged
and not recently prepared by mechanical admixture of
alcohol and aromatics.
Respectfully,

Dear Sib—Tbe want of pure wines and liquors forme
dicinal purposes has been long felt by the pro'ession,
and 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, are
very rare in Europe, owing, in a great degree, to the dif
Terence in the purity of the spirits sold.
We 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 j nstly entitled to the tlgh reputation it has acquired
in this conntry; and from your long experience a* a for
eign importer, your Bottled 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 tor the sale of your Brandies and Wine#, wher
the profession can obtain the same when needed for
medicinal purposes.
Wishing you success in your new enterprise,
We remain yonr obedient servants.
