[FOR TUX INTBLI.IOBNCnn.]
Our ilupeiior Advantages, and Our Conse
quent Duties to Ourselves and Others.
NUMHKit SIX.
Great Britain being kept in mind, no citizen of
the South need ever despair. We have seen that
the word “ Machinery" tells the whole story of
her abounding wealth, power, and world-wide
influence. Ltd vs adopt her policy—that of en
couraging her own artists, and importing from
other countries only such nrliclea as she could
not herself produce at home; and those chiefly
which had ►. direct bearing upon her manufac
turing and commercial interests.
With these facts before us, we have only to cast
our eyes over the thousands of crystal streams
which roll down from our mountain slopes, af
fording sites Innumerable for the employment of
machinery for every desirable purpose, at cheaper
rates than Great Britain can possibly do it with
her coal and steam power—only to contemplate
I he abundant material, everywhere adjacent, on
which to operate; thus adding ten, twenty, or it
may he added, fifly times its value in its crude
state, to (lie manufactured articles—only to no
tice the hundreds of beuutilul sites for either fine
villages or Lowel like cities in the. vicinity, in as
genial an atmosphere, and as healthy a climate
as any country can boast, and far more desirable
than the boreal regions of New England ; and
the veriest doubter and caviler must admit that
we possess advantages and facilities far surpass
ing those of the people and natious on whom we
have depended for our supplies.
Btill there is another great fact, which must
ever be kept in mind As it is leal,-aye that sinks
great ships, so it is drainage that ruins great na
tions! HV are. stranded ! Ruin awaits us, unless
we at once cast overboard both our old policy
and our old habits, and set our sails for the coast
of “New Enterprise,” and the safe harbor of
“Successful Achievement.” This, with common
consent and fixed determination, done, the spriug-
titfe of prosperity will sot in from the great seas
of wealth which lie or flow all around us.
No “pearl fisheries” ever became such sources
ot wealth to a nation, ever afforded employment
to a hundredth part the number of persons, or
enhanced, iu any comparative degree, the thrift,
comfort and happiness of a people, as would the
employment of those perennial streams as motive
iMtBir su the manufacture of our staples, and the
other abnudaut crude material now lying useless
or turned to but little account To the “pine
lanils”lot us also look,and think what enterperises
might bo carried oil in thousands of healthy and
pleasant localities in those almost uninhabited
and thriftless regions. There “steam power”
can be multiplied indefinitely, at less cost than it
can bo employed in any other country. And
then, wliat a climate! That of “salubrity and
balm”—that to which myriads of invalids have
resorted lor the health which their own inhospit
able climate denied them. Let railroads be con
structed through those now dr ear}' wastes, and a
new, bright, and most auspicious day will speed
ily arise over those widely extended and invitiug
regions. There a new race of people will spring
tup, the hum of busy life and the symphonies of
endlessly varied machinery will at once utter
truthful predictions of abounding wealth, and
reverberate the praises ol the “benefactors of
their country,” who have planned and executed
schemes so noble and beneficent!

Teal Oath—Important Decision.
The following dispatch appears in the Louis
ville Courier ot Saturday morning:
DECISION BY TUE SUPREME COURT OF THE
UNITED STATES.
Washington, Dec. 7.—The Supreme Court
to-day agreed upon a decision upon the constitu
tionality of the test oath. The question came
up bn the cases presented iu regard to the exac
tion of the oath for attorneys, of which there
were several under consideration, which were
argued last summer.
The court decided by 5 to 4 against the consti
tutionality of the oath.
The opinion will probably bo read on Monday
next. It is understood that each of the Judges
■will render separate opinions.
.Alabama—Constitutional Amendment.
The following is the vote in the Alabama Le
gislature on the constitutional amendment: Sen-
ns—i for amendment and 27 agaiust. House—
18 lor and agaiust. The Montgomery Mail
says of litis action: “We are proud of our State,
and proud ot her Legislators. They have acted
well their parts, and nobly sustained the dignity
and sell-respect of their State and posterity. We
hope and believe they will never have cause to
regret theis action, but, on the contrary, iu years
to come they can revert to this rejection with
pleasure and pride.”
Flatulence.—The Missouri Demoeart, in
tensely radical, uses the following hyperborean
hyperbole :
A strong fresh wind from the North sweeps
through the streets of Washington, and whistles
through the corridors of the Capitol, and makes
the windows of the White House rattle. At its
last session, the bravest and truest Congress that
ever met iu this country, was a little timid, un
certain, and temporizing, for it faced terrible
risks and incalculable difficulties. The spring
days with their enervating air, and alternate
clouds and sunshine, were the type of its action.
But it meets again, with the thunder of loyal
majorities behind it, and its voice is as the sound
of a trumpet. We teel, as we read of its doings,
the clear, cold and bracing air of a Northern
winter, and we begin to pity the poor mau who
has put himself in the way of that sharp and
cutting blast without his gloves or overcoat.

Interesting Items of Washington News.
Washington, Dec. 10.—It is not true as tele
graphed hence that the Supreme Court has dis
pensed with the test oath. It is still administered.
The United States Consul at Vera Cruz reports
to the State Department that Maximilian was to
leave Orizaba on the 28th of November, for the
city of Mexico, and that the United States mis
sion was likely to be regarded in a friendly man
ner by the French.
Lorenzo Sherwood, late of Texas, appeared
on the opening of the United States Supreme
Court this morning, and reqeusted permission for
Governor Hamilton and himself to re-argue the
constitutionality of the law prescribing the test
oath. Permission was given to file a motion in
pursuance of his request with the clerk.
The friends of Colorado and Nebraska are
making zealous efforts for the admission of these
two new States into the Union. Sumner,
and several other Senators continue to oppose
the measure, lor the resson that their respective
Constitutions excluded black men, though few
in number, from the elective franchise. Leading
Republicans openly avow that some ot the pend
ing measures of legislation are designed to enable
Congress to regulate appointments, and other
public matters, irrespective of the President, de
pending upon their two-thirds majority to defeat
all his vetoes. Several of the Congressmen elect
from the South talk about immediately returning
home, there being no prospect of their admission.
The Joint Committee on Reconstruction having
been revived, will commence work this week.—
One of the first things to be considered by them
will be in reference to the political condition ot
the Southern Slates, and the propriety of recon
structing them.

strenuously opposed by Wilson of Massachusetts,
among others, who said it was too small a mat
ter to make a difficulty about. Cowan said if ev
ery citizen who left the District and joined the
Confederate cause was guilty of treason, he did
not apply this to people of Southern States, for
here there was no double form of government,
and no one can doubt where his allegiance w as
due. He moved to extend the privilege ot the
bill to females, and contended if negroes had a
right to vote women had also. Adjourned with
out vote on amendment.
Still Later from Wa«hiu£lou,

long ago as September 1805, that John H. Sur
ratt, implicated in the assassination of Mr. Lin
coln, had escaped from Canada to Europe.—
Months elapsed before he could be properly
identified for arrest, which was accomplished
early this month, in Alexandria, Egypt. A per
son who crossed the Atlantic with Surratt, makes
affidavit that Surratt acknowledged his own, as
well as his mother’s complicity iu the assassina
tion.
The President has replied to a resolution of
the House, asking whether any portion of Mexi

Public Meeting in Forsyth. County.
On the 4tli day of December, instant, a re
spectable portion of the citizens ot Forsyth
county assembled in the court house in Cum-
ming, for the purpose of expressing their views
on the condition of the country. The meeting
was organized by calling Curtis Green to the
chair, and requesting B. F. Roberts and Dr. J.
Hughes to act as secretaries.
On motion of L. D. Harris, Isaac S. Clement
was requested to explain the object of the meet
ing, which he did in a few brief remarks, in
which he invited the attention of those present
to the embarrassed condition of the country, ask
ing from them a calm and deliberate expression
of their opinions on the grave and important
questions now agitating the public mind.
Col. H. P. Bell then moved that a Committee
of seven l>e appointed, one from each militia
district, to report business for tlie action of the
meeting. The Chair appointed Col. H. P. Bell,
Berry Black, Martin Graham, A. J. Wilkie, J.
•D. Harris, Jacob Martin, and Joseph S. Bell,
Esqs., said Committee. After a short absence,
the Committee reported the following preamble
and resolutions, which were unanimously adopt
ed. The resolutions were supported by Col.
Bell, in a brief, but forcible address, in which,
with his customary logic, he euforced the propo
sition, that skill and labor on the part of the
debtor, and forbearance on the part of the cred
itor, in connection with time, afford the best so :
lution t,o the various propositions for relief now
before the country:
The calamities of war through which we have
just passed, have left the resources of the coun
try exhausted. The relations of society have
been changed in its social and civil aspects. The
finances aud commerce of the country are de
ranged. The abolition of slavery has withdrawn
a vast amount of labor from the productive ener
gies of the country. The casualties of war have
left great numbers unable to earn subsistence and
without the means to obtain it. Taxation,' State
and Federal, is enormously high. The relations
of the State to the Federal Government are un
settled. Superadded to this state of affairs,
Providence has withheld, for the last year, the
blessings of a propritious season, and the earth
has refused to yield her accustomed rewards to
the toils of industry, and there is not only no
surplus of her productions for the market, but
we fear not enough for subsistence. The result
of all this is a state of restlessness, anxiety and
alarm in the public mind. A solution of exist
ing troubles is sought in various ways. Differ
ent schemes of relief have been suggested and
discussed—many of them visionary in their con
ception, and radical, and, therefore, ruinous in
their tendency. Most of these plans of relief
are based upon the idea of discharging pecuniary
obligations without money, and some even go to
the extent of repudiating the obligations entire
ly. All past experience demonstrates that the
speculations of fancy do not supply money, nor
the practice of jugglery pay debts. The propo
sition to repudiate just and lioDest private debts
is alike repugnant to the Constitution and revolt
ing to the dictates of common honesty. The
Constitution of the United States, Article 1, sec
tion 10, stiys: “ No State shall pass any bill of
attainder, ex post facto law, or law impairing the
obligations of contracts."
The Constitution of the State ot Georgia, Ar
ticle 1st, clause the 14th, provides that ex post
facto laws—laws impairing the obligation of con
tracts and retroactive laws injuriously affecting
any right of the citizen, are prohibited.
There are two express constitutional prohibi
tions upon the power of the Legislature to pass
any law impairing the obligation of con
tracts. The Legislature lias no constitutional
power to do, indirectly, that which it is pro
hibited from doing directly. While we com
mend all laudable efforts to find the means of
escape from surrounding difficulties, we cannot
but condemn any plan, that is either impractica
ble, or unconstitutional; and we believe that the
agitation of these various visionary plans is pro
ductive of mischief. We believe that if credit
ors will give indulgence, compromise and com
pound the debt existing before the war, where
the condition of the debtor makes it necessary,
or expedient, refrain from suing, and involving
the debtors in cost and litigation; aud, that it
the debtors, on their part, will make an honest
effort to meet their engagements, cease to look
to legislative intervention and ultimate repudia
tion ; with the aid of oue or two abundant crops,
the existing indebtedness of the country will be
extinguished, and the people relieved from their
present embarrassment. And, in our judgment,
this is the only substantial means of relief.
In accordance with the foregoing views, we
recommend the adoption of the following reso
lutions, to-wit:
Be sol reel, That the repudiation of private debts
is wrong in principle, and a palpable violation of
the Constitution ot the State and of the United
States.
Besolted, That in the present calamitous con
dition of the country' and people, it is the duty of
creditors to compound and compromise their
debts existing before the war; grant indulgence
to debtors, and refrain from suing and involving
them in cost and litigation. And that it is a cor
responding duty of high obligation on the part
of debtors, to secure and ultimately pay said
debts.
Besolced, That in our judgment all plans and
schemes ot relief which seek to avoid the pay
ment of just debts, are wrong in principle and
demoralizing in tendency, and that those plans
and schemes which contemplate the payment
without money are wild and visionary, and must
necessarily result in disappointment and failure.
Bisolred, That the Atlanta and Athens papers'
be requested to publish the proceedings of this
meeting, and the other papers in the State be re
spectfully requested to copy; and that our fellow-
citizens in the other counties of the State be re
quested to meet and express their views on this
subject.
The meeting then adjourned.

Constitutional Amendments.—The New
Y'ork Express says:
We are likely to have about as many Consti
tutions in these United States, as the French Di
rectory made for France, in their short lived
reign.
The-world turns up but little new. The Radi
cals of this day, are the very' same as the Jaco
bins of France, and the Greek and Roman Radi
cals. that in the end, destroyed their Republics,
and subjected them all to despotism. There is
nothing new in politics. Every item of political
news printed daily, is as old as 500 B. C.

Tragedy.
We have information by parties who came up
the Mississippi and Tennessee Railroad last
night that Thomas D. McCluskey, proprietor of
the Winona (Miss..) Hotel, was shot with fatal
effect at that place yesterday afternoon at one
o’clock by Wm. Ayres, a young man of Gren
ada.
The circumstances, as far as we can learn, arc
as follows: McCluskey, a few days since,'unfor
tunately made some very flagrant remarks con
cerning a lady who occupies a high social posi
tion, and who is a near relative of youug Ayres.
The latter, hearing of it, took the matter in hand,
and in company with a lreind and relative of his,
Capt. Ike A. Hood, of this city, waited upon
McCluskey to demand satisfaction. He was
found iu the office of the hotel, and when ad
dressed ou the subject, he first showed a dispo
sition to evade a reply, but when closely pressed,
he showed fight, and knocked Ayres down with
liis fist. Hood became involved to the exteut of
trying to separate the antagonists, but McCluskey
being a very large, strong man, aud the others
rather light, he knocked them around roughly.
A fourth party entering the room, caught Ayres
by the arm and wrested a Derringer pistol from
his hand. At this instant McCluskey made a
rush on Ayers. Who now drew a six-shooter
and shot McCluskey with deadly precision. The
wounded man staggered forward, fell, and in a
lew minutes expired, without speaking more
than a word or two. By this time a crowd be
gan to assemble, and in a few minutes nearly
everybody in the little village, including even
some females—among whom was the wile of
McCluskey, to whom he was married only a few
months ago—had assembled.
Ayres, at the suggestion ot his friends, sub
mitted himself to the authorities. Capt. Hood
in the excitement of the moment, was also ar
rested, under the impression that he furnished
the pistol with which Ayres did the shooting.
This, however, seemed improbable, and was not
generally admitted by the crowd. The affair
was to go before a magistrate yesterday afternoon,
when it was supposed that Ayers would be re
leased under bond, and that Capt, Hood would
be disclmrged lrom custody.
McCluskey was rather a young man, and a
native of North Mississippi. At the breaking
out of the war, however, he resided in South
western Georgia—probably in Cuthbert. A few
months ago he returned to Mississippi as a
school teacher, married in Winona, and settled
down as a hotel keeper.
The young man who killed him is scarce
twenty, lives with his father, a merchant in Gre
nada,'belongs to a well known and highly re
spectable family, and has ever borne the charac
ter of a quiet, clever boy—an excellent youug
man.
The affair created a great sensation in the
village, and while regarded as very unfortunate,
the public generally admitted that the young
man was compelled to pursue the course which
resulted so tragically. We forbear comment at
present, as the circumstances will doubtless be
developed in the courts.

The Hog and Pork Market.—A New York
paper says:
“ There never was such a time among hogs !
The receipts are not extravagantly large, but the
demand is extremely limited. Hitherto, at this
season of the year, large exports were made;
this year cargoes that were sent out early in the
Summer are now returned from Europe and
thrown back upon the shippers. A decline of
44 cents per pound live weight, has sent the
price fully 6 cents below what it was last year,
when the receipts were 5,000 less per week than
they now are, and an active export demand
afforded a ready market to holders. Ibices then,
between the middle of August and the 15th of
November, advanced 2 cents per pound. The
present high price of com is forcing heavy sup
plies of hogs on the market, and it is believed
prices will experience a still further decline, and
force holders to sell at heavy sacrifices.
“ Pork has tumbled from $33 to $22 per bar
rel, and is now $10 50 below the prices of same
time last year. The market is very unsettled,
and is doomed to still further reduction.
“ Lard is 12 to 14 cents per pound lower than
at this time last year. Shipments are returned
from England, and large supplies are.coming in
from the West. Prices have gone down 6 cents
during the past three months, and must go still
lower.”
Another Terrible Railroad Accident.—
The Nashville Press and Times of Saturday con
tains the following account ot a railroad acci
dent:
It is our painful duty to chronicle another ter
rible railroad accident, this time occurring on the
Memphis, Clarksville & Louisville Railroad.—
The train which leaves the latter city at 4.30 p.
m., and known as train No. 2, ran on the track
two hundred yards North of Budd’s Creek. The
engine and tender crashed into the trestle-work,
and precipitated one baggage, one first-class, and
one sleeping car down off the trestle, which was
fifteen feet high. Mr. McGuire, the express mes
senger, and a German passenger, whose name
was not ascertained, were instantly killed. Mr.
Howard, the baggage master, had an arm and a
leg broken ; and the arms and legs of two pas
sengers, whose names are unknown, were also
broken. Ten other passengers w T ere injured,
more or less, but none dangerously.
Union of the Greek and Latin Churches.
—It is said that substantial progress has been
made towards effecting a union of the Greek and
Latin Churches. The most difficult point was
respecting the marriage of priests. The Greek
Patriarch stood up stoutly for the right of his
clergy to marry, and the Pope resisted. At
length, however, a compromise was agreed to—
the priests might marry, but the Bishops must
be single. This re-naion is an object of great
moment to the Emperor ot the French, who has
devised some scheme lor effecting the junction of
the Western and Eastern Churches, which have
been separated lor many centuries. This re
union, if accomplished, would affect the politics
of Europe quite as much as the ecclesiastical
system of Christendom.
Macon.—The municipal election last Satur
day resulted as follows:
Geo. S. Obear, as Mayor; W. H. Ross, O. G.
Sparks, Henry P. Westcott, Geo. B. Turpin, C.
J. Harris, J. V. Grier, Wm. Lightfoot, and E.
Crockett, as Aldermen.
Wheat.—The Warrenton, Virginia, Sentinel
says the appearance of the wheat throughout the
county is fine—never looked better. Everywhere
the fields present a beautilul green appearance
and the prospect is now flattering for good crops
in the coming year.
It is generally conceded, even by radicals,
that General Sheridan, in that portion of his re
port iu relation to Mexican affairs, has made an
ass of himself.

T HE nndersigned respectfully call the attention of the
Southern Public to the fact that they are the only
persons authorized or competent to make the well known
CALHOUN & ATKIN SON PLOW', as will appear from
the following authority:
Maysville, Kr., April 1,1866.
Messrs. HALL, BLACK & BALDWIN having pur
chased the entire establishment known as the CAL
HOUN & ATKINSON PLOW FACTORY—Including all
tlie moulds, patterns, stock on hand, and everything per
taining to tlie business—the undersigned, as surviving
partner, takes pleasure in soliciting for them a continu
ance of the liberal pattonage extended to the late firm.
The pa. ties comprising the new firm are competent and
responsible, and all work done by them may be relied on
as equal to aDy heretofore done at this Establishment.
Mrs. JANE L. ATKINSON,
Surviving Partner of Calhoun & Atkinson.
In order to prevent an imposition which has lately
been practised, the undersigned would caution all mer
chants and planters that none of these Plows are genu
ine, unless branded upon the beam with their name—
‘•Hall, Black & Baldwin, Successors to Calhoun &
Atkinson”—and no other parties are authorized or com-
E eteut to make the Plow. The Plow called the “Cal-
oon” is an imitation, and not the genuine Calhoun &
Atkinson Plow.

turers of the above justly celebrated Plow, and keeping
a large supply always on hand, all orders accompanied by
cash,'or citv acceptance, will be promptly filled by
deed—dlthw3m McNAUGHT, ORMOND & CO.
