In pursuance of a coll signed by a large
number of prominent citizens o! this

est of a proposed rout 3 from Americas to
Newnan.

and ability, by Capt W. A. Little, Dr.

others.
Capt Little remarked that tho time
had arrived for action—that the construc
tion of a railroad through this county,
connecting the seaboard with the great
Northwest, by tho shortest route, was a
subject of vital interest to the people of
this section.
Judge J. M. Mathews discussed the
propriety oj Staio aid .in behalf of this
great enterprise, believing the Legisla

ance if application was made.

Judge J. M. Mathews, wero unanimously
adopted:

ed until first Tuesday in Jane, and that

ties and localities that may be interested
in the movement.
Resolved, that the citizens of Talbot
county be urgently requested to meet in
the Court House m Talbotton on the day

Merriwether, Talbot, Marion, Schley,
and Sumter, be requested to meet by

road, on tho 15th day of June, to confer

quested to copy.

There is a class of men yetin the world
who contend that the earth does not re
volve, or torn around, for the reason as
asserted by some ignoramus many years
ago that when he got up in the morning
he still found his corn-crib standing pre
cisely where it stood the night j>revions!
This is no more strange than the attitude
of many apparently sensible men of the
present day with regard to the advanced
eondition of physical and mental devel
opment They look up at you startled
and be wildered when you suggest that the
world is moving. They cannot compre
hend yonr meaning, and suppose that
you are either a madman, or that you rare
trifling with their feelings. They can
see no change. Times, they conclude,
aro just what they were fifty years ago.-
Nor can any argument, or process of
reasoning convince them otherwise. They
joined to their idols. And woo be to
you if you have the temerity to cross
tho pathway of their oracular opinions.
Better that you had a mill-stone tied to
your neck, and your body cast into the
More than likely your ears will be
saluted with a volume of grating exple
tives, and that you will lie summarily told
that you aro a litlle io*j smart! No one
so wise as they, and none whose plans
and modes of operating are so pregnant
with everything valuable. Nor would
they believe yon though one were to rise
from the dead, or that the thunders of
Sinai were to thunder it in their cars.—
Tho corn-crib 6till stands where it was
put, and, therefore, the earth has not ro-
volved upon its own axis
Just ono idea right here! Take the
system of popular education which is at
tracting so large a share of public atten
tion throughout tho States; and which is
doing so much to improve and elevate the
masses. As now elaborated and under
stood by the intelligence of the country,
it is regarded by tho class alluded to as a
violent and alarming innovation a depart
ure from the good old days when a hick
ory rod as long as a fence rail was swept
in terror over the heads of the affrighted
youth, and when the conceited peda
gogue, inflated with lurid conceptions of
liis own superiority, could not advance a
single pnpil to decimal fractions ! They
cannot realize why it is that this j scholas
tic period has been bold enough to wrench
its wheels our of (ho old ruts, and to
blaze out a now pathway in sclent e. As
the car of progi'ess sweeps on by them,
they stand like statues. They have neith
er tho nerve, nor the sagacity to get
aboard, and tho only demonstration thoy
make is, “ How simple/” Poor creatures,
there is no help for them. Let them
alone!

The Teaching off Experience.
After the experience of more than 12 years,
and a careful examination of more than -10 dif
ferent machines, having used in my family 5
different kinds, making the lock, douhlc-loop,
singlo loop ana twisted loop stitches—the last
for nearly 4 years,the first for nearly 12, and the
others for nearly G—I desire to present to yonr
readers the teaching of my experience, viz:—
There are many kinds of sewing machines that
are not worth the room thoy occupy Y-a few that
do good service for those who havo the ability
to manage and keep them in order, and but one
that is always in order, always ready for service,
and that always gives satisfaction. This ma
chine uses a singlo thread, makes the twisted
loop stitch, and never fails in making it. It is
called tho Willcox A Gibbs’ Sowing machine,and
is superior iu simplicity, durability, case of
management, certainty of opera ion and beauty
of its work to any other that I haTO seen. The
work done by this macluno has shown greater
strength and durability than that done by ma
chines making any other kind of stitch.—8. T.

fiair* An eminent physician of Boston
robs scarlet fever of many of its terrors by
prescribing for the patient warm lemon
ade, with a little mucilage, as often as
desired, and the application of warmth to
the stomach. He directs that a sheet
should be rung out of hot water and laid
on the stomach, renewing it as often as
it cools. Nothing else bnt tho lemonade
is to be given. With this treatment he
guarantees tlmt not one in a hundred
cases will prove fatal. We have known
eider alone to cure more than one obsti
nate case. A vegetable acid appears to
be the specific. Enongh salt in children’s
victuals may almost be said to bo a pro-

BgU Information was received in
Washington on Wednesday, showing that
the British expedition of 10,000 men
would, in one way, paaa over a portion of
thh territory of tho United States. The
lroops, it is stated, are to march overland
through the British possessions, from the
northern side of Lake Superior to the
Lake of (be Woods, over American terri
tory. At there is no substantial differ
ence between allowing supplies and
troops to go through tho route named,
there is no doubt that our Government,
on learning more official details, will pre
vent the transit of British war supplies
through the northeastern end of Minne
sota.

The winter of 1740 is described in
an old book quoted by a German paper
as very terrible. This work, “Brocke’s
Contentment in God,” thus speaks of it:
'An unheard of frost seized with ex
traordinary severity on the world and tho
elements, so that it is scarcely possible to
number or relate the many strange oc
currences that took place tbrongh its vio
lence. Men felt so oppressed that whole
days passed unheeded. One would and
could hardly speak; one sat and thought,
yet could not think; if any spoke a word,
it was with a hard set face. Many hens
and ducks, and even cattle in their stalls,
died of oold; the trees split asunder. Not
only beer but wine in cellers froze. Deep
ly sunken wells were covered with im
penetrable ice. Crows and other birds
fell to the ground frozen in his flight. No
bread was eatable, for it was as cold and
hard as a stone.”
Brocko farther relates that this extra
ordinary winter was followed by an
equally uncommon spring. In May no
sign of verdure was yet to bo seen; it was
still could in July, and vegetation was
then still further hindered by the
drought.

ALLEN’S LUNG BALSAM.
Dr. A. 1. Harris is the inventor of severs]
medical preparations wliich liavo become very
popular, and have been liberally used. Among
his inventions are Hall's Balaam for the longs
and Liverwort and Tar. For the past six year*
a better lung remedy has been offered to the
public. Read tbo following letter from Dr. Seo-
vill referring to it:
sumption. I have witnessed its effects
young and the old, and I can truly eay that it is
by far the best expectorant remedy with which 1
am acquainted. For coughs, ami all the early
stage* of lung complaints, I believe it to boa
certain cure, and if every family would keep it
it by them, ready to administer upon the llrat
appearance of disease about the lungs, there
would be ^very few cases of fetal consumption. It
cantos the phlegm and matter to raise, without
irritating the lungs, and without producing con
stipation of the bowels. It also gives strength
the nratem, atop, the night sure»te, and chatty,
all tho morbid accretions to a healthy state.
