When asked by his friends at period of life a man ceases to enjoy matrimony, ho said, “ask someone older than I am, boys,” The Atlanta lire says Mr. George Sharpe, a jeweler of Atlanta, has offered the following premium for the Jone exhi bition of the Cobb county Agricultural Society: Silver pitcher, waiter and goblets, valued at «5<Vt6 the plainest and neatest dressed lady, introducing a style for Georgia, ignoring present fashions.— Said premium to be awarded on 1st day Annual Fair, Cobb county, held m 187U, and confined exclusively to ladies of Cobb county. Mr. Sharpe offered this special premium believing that present fashions do not conduce to the health, style or beauty of those we love must. Bad Shewing for Alabama. The Haynesville (Ala.) Examiner has the following, from which we judge that all the cotton maniacs don’t live in Geor gia. Some folks are bound to learn how to live on lint pudding, and cotton seed soup. Alcorn may be the author of the polit ical misfortunes of Mississippi, bat All Cotton is tho potent despot who will bring the people ofthi9 section of Ala bama to grief next fall. The complaint is general in Lowndes that there is not enough com planted. The best express ions we have about com is “ Ive planted enough to do me, if the seasons are fa vorable.” The general reply is a dubi ous shake of th-j head. Not a grain for sale1 But cotton—the apple of the eyes of our planh r* are cotton b 1 a. Noth ing leas will satisfy them. Mr. Irvin Houser reports but five seres of com in sight of the public roads from Munack to Montgomery—12 miles of almost contin uous plantations. The negroes who rent land and manage their own crops are said to plant no separate field of corn, they merely cross their cotton with it; and stand a chanoe to make four or five.bush- els to the acre, “if the seasons are favora ole.” Exchange papers in adjoining counties bring the same news. If w« have a large cotton crop we may make np cur minds to get 12J cents for it; but os we will make a late one we predict the worms will eat it Aud if we have a small crop it will take it all to bay corn at $i aud 82 a bushel. So much for the prospect of the second week of May. . Read Till.*. Believing that the time has come, when ad lovers of temperance should organise and arrest tho awfnl vice of drinking,'and believing also that there would not be a more successful way of reaching the good people of this section, and arousing them to. action, than through the columns o' the Republican, we deem the cause and the reason a sufficient excuse- for tres passing upon the attention of our readers. Few people seem to think cf the awful effects of inebriety. There are six hund red thousand drunkards iu the .United States. Of these sixty thousand die eve ry year. One hundred thousand men and women, under the influence of in toxicating liquors, are sent to prison eveiy year. Two hundred thoui-and chil dren are sent to the poor :houae. Three hundred murders are committed. The proportion of those who' drink to those whe do not, according to carefully kept records in England and America, is four to one. Four hundred snicides are com mitted yearly. When cholera or any pes tilential fever prevails, nearly all the sub jects are of those who use intoxicating drinks. In proof of this Dr. Canwrlght says that five thousaa l of the intempe rate died of yellow fever in New Orleans in 1853, before a single sober man was touched. Toe testimony of all magis trates. chaplains and prison-keepers goes to prove that nine-tenths of all the crimes have their origin in intoxicating drinks, and that seven-eighths of all the pauper ism originates in the same cause. It costs the United States StiO,000,000 annu ally to support pauperism and crime. The official reports of 1866, show that one hundred and eighty-six millions gal lons of fermented, forty millions gallons distilled, and ten millions gallons im ported liquors, aggregating two hundred and thirty-six millions gallons, are con sumed annually in tho Uuited States, costing five hundred millions dollars. On ibis a revenue of only $17,727,201} is paid, making a clear loss of over $150,- 000,000 to the country. These are start ling facts, and when we consider them we think .they appeal to all who love peace and order, to organize and battle against the use of intoxicating liquors a beverage. They appeal with such a sad tale of havoc, anguish, despair and crime as should at once nroitse all lovers of good to battle for the liberation of those who, by the use of these drinks, have become bound by the chains of de spair. Let us come now to our own sec tion. Almost every trading establish ment deals in this beverage of hell, and every day we see the sad effects of rum. Victim after victim, in our own midst, have fallen into the snares of the enemj* and now fill drunkards’ graves. These men are contributing, we xnay say, their time, talent, money, family and souls to help increase this already large amount of suffering. This drinking reduces them to the worst kind of s’avery. Not long ago wo went to see a man who once stood high in the church of God. He re am ked to us, “I was once a man—I am not now.” No, he felt that lie was no longer a man. What can tho feelings of any man be, while listening to such re marks as these, coming from a slave to whiskey, while tears were trickling fast down his bloated face? Pen cannot des. cribe our feelings as we looked upon that poor man, with that despair depicted up. on every feature of his face that muses him to feel : T r Toe Late Poize Fight.—The follow ing, relative to the late fight, near New Orleans, we clip from the Times : To detail the many interesting inci dents of this great historic event in the annals of flatiana would be to fill a vol ume, but still there were a few which came under our immediate observation of such a striking and novel character as to at once challenge cur best attention.— First among these was the gladiator's oath. The first meeting of Hoenun and Mace, about half on hour after the fight, was as notable as it was strangely sol emn. The Benicia Boy grasped bis friend by the hand with a congratulating grip, and drawing him aside, said, * Jem, you ’ve won the fight, and now I claim your promise—raise your right hand—‘ We solemnly swear, so help us God, never again to put up our hands in a prizoring, never! never! never!”. Mace bowed his head and solemnly repeated the obliga tion. The auditors who heard the oath re corded were visibly affected; for a few minutes there was much quiet hand-shak ing going on, and many expressions of satisfaction at what was deemed the dis charge of a proper obligation to soeiety. All felt that a man of such kind and gen ial disposition, rapidly passing the meri dian of life, who had been the hero of twenty-oix battles, without a living con queror, should withdraw from an associa tion so foreign to his nature. Heenan’a action iu the matter was considered worthy of him, and no lees than could be . expected from the gallant American, who had broken, in this instance, through a resolution of long standing, only to re pay a kindness, and to discharge what he considered « friendly duty to an oldoom- rade, whom neither time, position nor fortune could induce him to forsake. As the occasion of the formal retirement of these two great fistic heroes from the ring, this event yesterday was made one historic note. “Which tray I fly is hall, myself am holl, And in tho lowest deep, a lower deep Still threatening to devour me, opens wi«la, To which the helj I suffer seems a heaven." In order, therefore, to arrest this grow, ing evil, let us organize Good Templar Lodges in every community. Ten dol lars will secure a charter and necessary rituals. Applications for chatters, aud enquiries for information, should be ad dressed to the Editor of this paper. Cascelleco Revenue Stamps.—Under the provisions of t he act of June 30,1864, the Commissioner of Internal Revenu was authorized to prescribe such method for the cancellation of stamps os he might deem expedient and effectual. On the 19rh of last Februaiy, Circular No 82 was iasned from the Internal Revenue Department, providing that on and after May 1 1870, all adhesive stamps used upon the instrument^ documents, wri tings and papers required to be stamp ed shall be cancelled by the person offer ing the same, either by writing upon each and every stamp, in ink, the initials of his name and the date (year, month and day) upon which the same is used or attached, or by catting and cancelling the same with the machine called “ Wheeler’s Patent Cancellor,” or such other machine as might afterward be designated by the Commissions, no other method of cancelling to be recognized as legal and sufficient' after that date. As this restriction to the use of ono single machine, thereby creating a monopoly in their manufacture, was found to work to the serious detriment of the business men throughout the whole country,' the Commissioner has just issued a circular authorizing the use of three other ma chines for the cancellation of stamps, namely : “E.

Northern Methrdifts' Proposition for Re-Union. A Memphis dispatch; of the 11th iusk, to the Western Press, says : Bishop Janes, Daniel Curry, Levi Scott, and others of the Northern Metho dist Church, submitted a memorial to th** Southern General Conference ns follows; “By action and authority of the Gen eral Conference at Chicago, May, 18C8. we were appointed a commissi* n to co operate with a like commission lrom the Church South on tho subject of union. At a meeting of the commission in Phila delphia, November 23d, 1869, a resolution was adopted approving the action con templating a union of the two Churches, but it is thought proper to make this further communicate n The appoint ment of this' commission shows that iu the judgment of the Northern Church there is not sufficient reason why a nnion may not lie effected on honorable terms Hoping that you may see the subject in tho same light, and Chat you may ap point a simil ir commission to confer with us previous to next General Conference in 1872, and preying that you may be prospered in all that pertains the weusre of the Christian Church, aud desiring jour prayers in behalf of the Church, we represent, that we may share a like prosperity, .we are,” etc. The committee of nine to which this memorial is referred, consists of the strongest men in the Conference here.

Washington, May 11.—The Georgia mrdlle is likely to prove “an elephant” m the hands of tho Radical Congress. The leaders are absolutely at fault, and know not wliat to do to extricate them- selv s. I have h« r > of many plans. Among them one to admit the State at once, and leave the question of the ten ure of office of the Executive aud Legis lature to the courts. It is clear that great difficulties beset this proposition. In the meantime the country is becoming sick of further trickery in this respect. Georgia (I mean the white citizens of that State.) by pursuing the steady and strict ly honorable policy of non action in the way of cmcili'ition, and dignified indiffer- euoe as to tekat their oppressors would do, has pushed the unprincipled faction ruling the country to the very verge of their power, without in the least com promising even her interests. A siai>ar coarse on the part of the Southern States generally tronll 'o ig since have brought Congress to fy senatk In this connection it may be observed that “i©construction,” as regards Tenn essee or any other of the reconstructed or unreconstructed States, to use a phrase current in Congress, is essentially “play ed out.” Scarcely a corporal’s guard could now be mustered in either House to commence the process in fresh locali ties, while a year ago, or less, it might have been done with impunity. This shows tho “ revolution” to have received an important check. To come to a stand-still threatens the disruption o! the Radical organization, it is true—but to go further would render inevitable the di>iatcg»tion of this Empire! This is the fearful dilemma in which the leaders t>re placed. Sumner and Butler, with a few of their satilites, would gladly and madly “cross the Rubicon,” but their in fluence with tho public is gone forever. A Prominent Citizen Shot.—Yester day afternoon between three and four o’clock, as Mr. John Broughton, pre- scriptiunist in the drug store of L. W. Hunt A Co., was walking from dinner along on First street, between Oak and Arch streets, he was bailed from the op posite aide of the street, by Mr. Henry G. Ross, and he stopped to ascertain what Mr. Rosa wanted. The latter gentlo man walked across the street to where Broughton wus standing, and asked him a question in regard to some family diffi culty which has existed between them for some time past, and while Mr. Brough ton was replying, Mr. Ross drew his pis tol aud shot him—the ball entering near the breast-bone and rangiug diagonally through the body and ngtii lung passed out near the centre of the right * boulder- blade, inflicting what his pnysicans say, is an exceedingly dangerous, but not necessarily, mortal wound. When si o Mr. Broughton staggered back t-g n t the fence ana tell, and his would-be mu • derer inracd, and walked hastily to the corner of -Fiist and Arch stieets, then started off in a brisk run and effected his escape. Mr. B. was taken up aud car ried to his residence near the Macon Cotton Factory, where he received tho *-nrgical attention of Drs. Geo. \V Holmes and Growall W. Johnson. The affair produced quite a sensation throughout the city, as both men are well kuown—the assailant having been raised * , erc, and the assailed having lived here since the close of the war.— He is a native, wo believe, of Norfolk, Fa., and is known as a worthy and esti mable gentleman. It is not our province, nor would it bo prudent for ns to state here what we have heard as to the cause of this most unfortunate affair, as the parties are brothers-in-law and they have not been •riendly for some time.
