YOUNG, >1 Bartow County. ^•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. Cougreaa i* Hoviuz. Tbe House has passed a resolution to print 30,000 copies of tbe four-hour eulogies fiom 18 members upon the late Thaddeus Stevens, which may be put down as the first practical evidence ot economy, and then made a $23,250 000 Pen sion bill the special order for January oth.

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 Congress. E New Advertisements. c. EXECUTOR’S SALE. W.

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. NEW FORK ASSOCIATED PRESS DISPATCH* NOON DISPATCHES.

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.

The use of this Guano in Georgia on the last crop paid from 200 to 400 per cent, on the investment.

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 DAVID L. MOTT. M. D., Pharmaceutical Chamist, New York. 26 Pixa Stbret, New York, ( Nov. SR, 186T. f Udolpho Wolfe, Esq^ Present: 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*. (Signed) GHA8. A. SEELY,'Chemist. New York, 63 Cedar S’spbet, l November 26,1807. J 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, FRED. F. MAYBE, Chemist. Nftw Yens, Tuesday, May 1. JJdolpho Wolfe, Esq.: 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. VALENTINE MOTT, M. D„ Professor of Surgery, Un varsity Medical College, New York. J. M CARNOOHAN, M.
