THE HEW YEAR
To all our patrons we semi friendly greet
iig, and wish them a happy new year. The
year eighteen hundred and fifty-seven is gone
forever, and would it pot-be wett for ns, in
tßrilfeg for n moment to hid it fore well, to ra
flhet upon ita history, and gather the uacful
fossuns which It teaches ? Externally, men
differ widely—in wealth, in business, in po
sition, Ut internally, so to speak, they are
very aaush alike. Who can say that the
past year,, won to him, one of unalloyed
pleasure t And wo bopo there is -MIT-one
who can Bay that to him* it was one of un-
mitigated sorrow.
To us all, perhaps, it wai oae el alternate
sunshine-and cloud, of tear# and smiles.-
But where awe many of those, who set out
joyfully with un at its beginning, and who
seemed as able to bear the journey as our
selves t
■** Like Mh> dew ou the mountain
Lika the oew oa the rirer
Like tile bubhlk* on the fuuu tnln
They are gone, anl foreret,”
But we have but little time to indulge in
these reflections. We must tnm our faces
forward, and take up the bustling march of
Ife. And this is right. The complicated
machinery of this world’s affaire must bo
kept hi motion,and every human being bes
lis or her pert to perforin. Tbw. conscquen
eea of the eurae, “by the sweat of thy brow
shalt tbou eat thy bread,” are upon us all,
and both physical and intellectual labor ate
eur, common portion. When the year eigh
teen. hundred and fifty-eight shall have end
ed, those who survive it, ia turning again to
Aid It adieu, will see in its history, so far aa
individuals are concerned, but a repetition es
what has occurred in the year just potted-—•
Alternate sunshine and cfeudgMles and
tears. Many that are now with us, will be
missing, gone, dropped through the “ broken
arches of the bridge of ‘iifc.', Sooner or la
ter, our turn will corns—it is the common
destiny of u* all. - ___
lat ue all therefore live industriously and
set uprightly, honestly and honorably, loving
• neighbor and fearing God. Those who
thus hve, will not have lived in rain, and
♦wars assured in the Good Book, that after
death,“their works do follow them.”
00V BBOWH Uto THE lANXA ,
It ia known by mast, if not all our read
ers, that, the Legislature passed a bill for toe
refitf hfthe banks, which toe Governor ve
teed; and which the Legislature finally pass
ed by a constitutional -majority, and thus
made it the law notwithstanding the veto. —!
Tire message which the Governor lent in
with toe veto, contains a most masterly, / ad |
in oar jadgpjent, uiisnswernble argument.—
We have always donbted the propriety of
any legislation at all on the subject, and
whan the banks shifted their ground for sk
mg it, wa were satisfied that they bad not
disclosed the tree region for their suspension.
At first thetr affairs were complicated with
tjfKtw York banks, and now they are bad
ly tangled with the banks of South Caroli
na; and if the Carolina banks should all re
turn*, doubtless they (onr banks) would be
in trouble somewhere else. Some of the
friends of the banka, seeing the folly of these
excuses, close the argument by saying that
“it is the fault of the system.” They are
right. The “syrtem” gives incorporated
bodies of men tbe power to., do evil, arid they
unhesitatingly do i*. therefor the “ system”
t wrong. •
Let us abolish this “system,” therefore, or
if we cannot do that, permit it to die out,
and inaugurate anew one, for the pnrpose of
supplying the necessary circulating medium
for the people—one (hat will be at all times
reliable and safe. And upon this point, we
commend the suggestions of his excellency,
to our readers. The {rower of the hanks
under the present “ system,” is truly alarm
ing, and if something is not done they will
ere long set themselves up ns the masters of
the people,
Tire people, however, have a firm and un
flinching friend in Gov. Brown, and if there
were any modo of testing the matter.it would
be teen that they endorse his views and ful
ly approve his course ‘

In closing the correspondence of our friend
” Alapaha,” we return hint our sincere
thanks for the interesting communications
with which he lias favored us, and express
the sincere hope that the “ shadow of his
happiness may never be less.”
CHHUTHAS, CBACKEBS, AND COUNCIL. <
We presume that times are not as tight in
the dominion* of old uncle Bantu Claus, as
they are in this wooden world, from the fact
that the little ones found tbeir bugs as well
filled as usual on last Christmas morning.—
This is generally a pleasant and happy holy
day to all, old and yonng, black and white,
but Wftjsoufuss that there is a practice carried
on in this town, which is beginning to make
its look upon it as a perfect nuisance. On
Christmas eve,mid on Christ mas day .scarcely
anything can bo heard hut the popping of
crackers, and Bcreaming of boys. Horses
running off with waggons, carriages, and
baggies, is a common occurrence at those
times, and one poor negro in attempting to
hold his team, had one of his fingers torn off
on the last Christmas day. Wo have lifted
up our voice titao And again against this
thing, aud have admonished the council to
pass an ordinance prohibiting the sale of firu
crackers in the town. And this is the only
way in which tho evil can be remedied, for if
they are brought aud sold here the children
will uae them. The above ordinance, to
gether with one against firing them within
tbo corporation, will rid us of this great and
most annoying evil, and its consequences. —
We most respectfully invito tho consider*,
lion of tlm Council to this matter, and say
to them in all kindness that, if they do not
heed it, their attention will bo called to it at
aomo future day, in all probability, by n
suit at the instnneo of sonio injured party,
which tnny cost tbo town hundreds, perhaps
thousands of dollars.
LOWNDES COUNTY.
Just before the regular fall term of tbo
Superior court of this county, tbo presiding
Judge received a petition from all tho local
members of tbe liar, ands number of res
pectable and responsible citizens, asking the
adjournment of the court. The reasous up
on which the request was founded were very
good, but the Judge thought it belter to sub
mit the matter to tho Grand Jiffy, and bo
governed, by their views and recommenda
tion. Information was receive* a Iso, through
tbe newspapers, that the bill dividing the
county had passed tho Senate, and there was
some probability that It would pass the
House. Had this been tbe ense, if the court
bad been held,all the proceedings might have
been void. Under these circumstances, tho
Grand Jnry unanimously recommended that
the court be adjourned, which was according
ly donV llut it hss so happened that the
county was not divided, and this vexed ques
tion is still open. That there is a large ma
jority of the peoplo of Lowndes in favor of
• division there can bo no doubt, and that it
will bo uluirwiloly done ir equally certain.—
Within a. htw months, or perils pa a short
time, the line of the Main Trunk Railroad
will be lotsted tkreagh the country, and
would it not be hettar to wait lilt thon, and
theu let toe people get together and qgreo 1
Upon the manner of division!
If they will do this, we doubt not but that 1
the Lcgislnture will unhesitatingly carry out i
the wishes of the people and this trouble- j
•owe question put to rest,
Lowndes is one of the best counties in the
State of Georgia, but it can never assume :
the position to which it i entitled, # nntil this
,Is done. Werredcivcd one piece of informa

can come to no satitjfoetory conclusion. We j
were riding in n buggy with, a friend, a eiti
zen of the county, some three miles this side
of Tronpville, when he suddenly stopped.

“ He wss driving Ids waggon here, and there
was a blind ox on this side of tbo road.—;
! He pulled heavily on the reins to keep ofT
the ox, and the reins broke—Mie fell against
that tree, was caught by the wheel and
crashed to death.” “Indeed that was troly
horrible.” “Yea, and some of the poor
man’s beard is sticking to tbe bark of the
tree now.” ** Is it possiwe!” “ Yes,but that
is not the strangest part it—yon see that J

At the meeting of the Board of Directors
on the 28tli ult., W. W. Ward was elected
Secretary,! Donald McDonald Treasurer, and
E. L. Harriot Engineer of this company.—
We have been kindly furnished by one of
the Directors, with the resolutions which
will be found below, and which wc hope will
put to rest all disquietude in the minds of
some people in regard to the location ot the
road. The line lias been located from the
initial point, to tbe line of the Brunswick
Road, and will be located from thence to
Thomasvillc so soop as tho surveys and es
timates can be modo and tfie necessary sub
scriptions raisdlT. Wo shall have more to
say on this subject hereafter.
And be it further renot vrd, That the main
line of the Atlantic &,Gulf Road be so lo
cated a* to take Thomasvillc and Bainbridge
on the same—and that tbe President be em
powered to have two or more lines surveyed
to Thomnsvilie from the end of tho line as
now located and that be cause books of sub
scription to be opened lor tbe several lines,
and tlnre the same be reported back to tbe
Board iti such time as the President may
deem proper when-the Board may select the
line for location taking into consideration the
Mibscjr'ption lists and the Engineers estimates.
And be it further rend red, That the Pres
ident be empowered to put under contract as
early as practicable so much as has been lo
cated and oilier wise to expedite the con
struction of the road ns much as possible.

Mr. Editor : —I have known men to give
five dollars an acre for land that would bring
onlyfour bushels of corn to tbo acre, rather
thanbuyat ton dollars per acre land that would

they got it cheap.

And it* name, although homely, ia very expressive.
For why be ashamed of our “ Wire-Grass ” county?

In the way of fair women, and noble souled men.
