A New Feature.
Mirny different and varied schemes
have been inaugurated by the people
of tiie Mouth to induco immigrants
to eomo among us. Wo have urged
upon our legislative bodies to appro
priate funds to bring before the world
our peculiar advantoges and the sa
lubrity of the climate. Something
has been dono in this direction, but
nothing yet done has accomplished
the desirod effect. The truth of tho
matter is that nino-tenths of tho im
migrants for this country have not
tho remotest idea where they will
land or in what State they will settle.
Their movements after they reach
“America” are determined by capi
talists and by the inducements the
different sections hold out to them.
In the absence of any organized ar
rangement to bring Georgia to their (
especial notice, wo have determined (
upon u small plan of our own which
may or may not turn them. If it ‘
does not, no harm is done, and the .
cost is small.
It is well known that this journal is
run only in the interest of the South, (
tho Slate and Colombo*, and adhering ;
to that idea we liave made arrange
ments to send a number of the Daily
Times to a reliablo friend in New
York for gratuitous distribution in
Castle Garden. At that place the im
migrants land, und there they form
their plans for permanent location. If
our efforts will induce but a few fam- .
dies of honest Irish, English, French,
German or Swiss emigrants to make .
their home near us, we will feel am- (
ply repaid for our trouble. Of course (
wo do not expect to accomplish much, (
but we think that a goodly number
of our paper placed in tho hands of ,
families upon their arrival, will, to a
certain extont, givo us some sort of a
half way showing against the mail- ,
cions lies that are promulgated to (
them by Northern fanatiCß, against |
the South, and iier sacred institu- ,
lions and ideas. {
Georgia and East Alabamu presents ,
the most varied field from which the (
immigrant eon choose, of any country (
in tho world. If they want to farm, ,
here is the Eden spot of America, ,
that will bloom, blossom and bring ,
forth fruit under their trained man- j
agemont. If they prefer tho manu- (
faeturing, or mochanical trades, here
they find the steady demand and the
raw material at their doors. If they
are in search of a healthful climate,
they could not bo better suited than
casting their lots with us. Here, we
are Democrats, and not aristocrats,
and tho claims of tho Caucasian will
not, and is not prejudiced. Wo want
honest white men with their families
to come among us, buy our very
cheap lands, and build up this glo
rious country with us, share our com
ing prosperity and enjoy our future
glory. We will try and givo accurate
information of our lauds and our re
sources regularly, thus hoping to do
something in the way of building up
our country.
The .’lnrlnmuT Way Frsllval.
Wo envy Cincinnati its music-lov
ing population, and, to our mind,
Central Park, at the time of Theodore
Thomas’ concerts, is the most attrac
tive featuro of metropolitan Now
York. To the bassa classa nothing is
so attractive as tho shoddy preten
sion of the royalty-aping Helmbolds,
that glitter like tinsel when the fash
ion-loving beau mantle throng tho
roads and avenues of Central Park.
Were we possessed of tho magic
powor of Asmodeus we would tnko
our stand there in order to correctly
weigh tho various elements of human
character. But to hear Theodore
Thomas’ orchestra givo the sympho
nies of Beethoven, or tho Lohengrin
of Wagner, or the grand “Trium
phied,” as he played it at Cincinnati,
is enough to drive away dull care and
make of earth a temporary Elysium.
Divest Italy of its Verdis, and the
thousands who study tho works of its
Maeetin— raw to the ground its Sea
las and Teatro Apollo and modern
art would not, as it now does, form a
grand/oyer to light the way to the
proper realization of tho (esthetic
beauty of tho arts of antiquity. Mu
sic is the proper interpreter of tho
True, the Beautiful, and the Good.
It is worth a trip to Vienna to hear
the orchestra of J.ohann Strauss play
“ Le Reveil du Lion” and the electric
waltzes that havo perpetuated the
nnmo of Strauss and daily draw thou
sands to tho Volksgarten.
The Thiergarten, at Berlin, is a
lovely resort, but it is necessary to
hear Bilse and his orchestra to feel
that these Prussians arc Germans of
the warm-hearted nation that wor
ships Meyerbeer, Beethoven, Men
delssohn, Mozart and Listz. One then
forgets the cold, busy, energetic sub
ject of tho most bureaucratic of Em
pires, when his inner nature expands
to the sounds of tho “Magic Flute.”
After all, Americans get thoir taste
for watering places and musie festi
vals from our German population.
Cincinnati is especially blessed in
this respect— and we know of no city
in tho West where the facilities for
hearing good musie gratuitously are
equal to those found in Cincinnati.
Thoohief charm in the accomplish
ments of our Southern girls is tho
almost universal taste for music.
There is eomething in our climate
that seems to prepare the voice for
the fullest musical development. It
is to be regretted that the masses are
utterly cut off from tho elevating in
fluences of music. Until we have a
largo German population wo can not
hope to have the Saale des Kurhduses
and public music. To go “over the j
Rhino” at Cincinnati is to find these ;
beautiful German customs.
01 R NEW YORK LETTER.
Corrt-Mpoudcnce of the Timer.]
New York, May 9, 1875.
Dew Times: The Associated Press
has in a degree robbed correspond
ence of its charm. In days gono by
the readers of provincial papers wait
ed longingly and with impatience for
the weekly letter of our “Special Cor
respondent,’ ’ wherin was detailed gos
sip of every description, from the me
tropolitan scientific records to the
history of tho last style of hat. In
this week’s summary one might read
extracts from the last sermon, tho
referee’s decision in tho last prize
fight, the fluctuations in the stock
market and the price of butter. Now
condensed into a corner, and appear
ing almost simultaneously with their
Northern cotemporarics, tho South
ern journals havo all these facts
placed before their readers day after
day.
The press dispatches givo your
readers. certainly an idea of events
which transpire at remote distances,
but fail to let them, as it were, behind
the scene, and thus is reserved still
to the correspondent tho prerogative
and tho right of leading those who
follow him into the presencoof things
as they are, untinctured by the adul
teration of sensational telegraphic
items.
Gleaned from “Clippings,” your pat
rons may havo learned that the “Two
Orphans” has “run” five months,
and Nym Crinkle, in the Sunday
World, may have told tho 3tory of the
two wanderers in Paris, in his graph
ic pen pictures, but how many of your
readers will have learned to know the
merits of the beautiful delineators of
the “Orphan Sisters.”
Tho Brooklyn scandal, in its de
basing details, spreads over the land
like a stain, the actors in tiie drama
feeing the press to p#int partisan re
cords, and very few at a distance
from tho scene of enactment can read
these reports, and form a just esti
mate of the questions involved in the
issue so near at hand.
From the centre of the metropolis
with eyes open to passing events, I
with ears alert to catch each whisper
of current news, with judgment calla
ble of sifting the chaff from tho
wheat, and witli sympathies and love
for those whose interests are dear to
his heart, the Southern resident of
this great city, it seems, would still
find those who would read an occa
sional letter and appreciate a few
words once in a while from an old
friend; and though uot quite filling
tho description of such a correspond
ent, the present communication comes
from one who loves everything in the
old land, and takes this opportunity
of sending greetings to the kind
friends of ids boyhood, to the asso
ciates of his young manhood, and to
everything familiar and dear to him
in your littlifeity.
There is a strange charm about Co
lumbus. It amounted, in my boy
hood, to a worship, and a long ab
sence would be sure to be followed
by a nostalgia, equal almost to the
liomo-longing of the Tyrolese and
Swiss. Often now, when the iron
hand of necessity has forced her sons
to leave her, amid brighter scenes ami
more stirring life, wo sometimes meet
together, wanderers from the old
home, recall each loved spot, talk
j over old friends and old times, and
re-picture to our minds the homes
and haunts of our boyhood.
When some passing incident recalls
to us bygone years, when a voice from
tho past sings in our ears, we can
closo our eyes to tho gilded facts be
fore us and dream awhile of tho more
natural pictures of our Southern land.
Tho bright, autumn sunsets, lighting
up tho Alabama hills —the quiet city,
shading itself in the valley—the rapid
river, dashing over its darns, and be
coming musical as the turmoil of the
busy day hushes to lot its murmurs
be heard come back to ns, over und
over again, in welcome memories.
It is strauge how the most forlorn
and dreary localities return to us in
graceful and grateful recollections.
The Brick Yard and Swamp lias a
strange and wonderful claim upon
my memory (connected, may be, with
its occasional invasion by migratory
woodcock); and tho plank-road, and
bridges, gullies, and other nuisances,
come back pleasantly now.
In spite of the affection for the old
land, ambition and gilded promise
rob her of her sons -who, neverthe
less, embalm the old spot in their
memories and think of her long after
she has ceased to mourn their loss.
From the land of the North, and the
home of his adoption, one of Colum
bus’ sons herein greets the “land he
loves,” and blends a whisper of gos
sip with his words of uffeetion.
The City of New York is, possibly,
the greatest curiosity of the New
World. Its rapid growth, its con
stant changes, are causes of surprise
to those who visit it from year to year.
To those who live amid the whirl of
the city’s progress, tho expansion is
not so much observed, until some
accidental event occurs to cause
him to look about him. He then sees
palaces rising, as it were by magic,
from the waste spots where huge
boulders of primeval rock last greet
ed his eye, and by degrees he recog
nizes the fact that he is in relation to
the whole, a somewhat more unim
portant atom than ho may havo esti
mated himself a moment before.
With the growth of inanimate things
around liiin the living masses change
from hour to hour—so that a day in
tho metropolis may be likened to a
generation in a small provincial city.
Tijo tide of emigration brings to the
city waves of life, which break upon
her shores and spread and lose them
selves in the whirlpool of activity on
Manhattan Island, and each day
crowds the population into denser
compactness, till individuals can only
be thought of as elements of the
j moving masses. It lias become so
crowded now, that to meet a friend
or a familiar face in a thoroughfare,
is an accident of rare occurrence; and
unless one be thrown by busiuess re
lations into frequent contact with a
certain set of persons, he may stand
in the most frequented places and
rarely sec the same person twice. In
this vast multitude grades of social
rank have arisen from force of cir
cumstances. Immense and almost
fabulous weultli lias separated into a
distinct class those whom fortune
has thus favored. Poverty in her
sluggish stream has a great popula
tion struggling to keep their heads
above the waters of want and from
actual starvation; whilst a third, or
middle class, too unfortunate to grow
rich und too earnest to bo poor, float
on the tide of life with scarce an envy
for the wealth above, and with a sym
pathy and a helping hand for the
poorer and suffering class beneath
them.
New York lias the most crowded
population on tiie continent, aver
aging about twenty inmates to each
house; whilst Chicago, Boston, Phil
adelphia and other large places have
about twelve.
To meet the wants of the middle
classes, a system of flats or floors has
been adopted in New York so that, a
man of moderate means can afford
comfortable quarters without draw
ing too heavily upon his scant in
come. A comfortable home, with
every accommodation and conven
ience, can be rented for S6OO per an
num, and the same accommodations
may be obtained higher up town for
half that sum.
Life in a metropolitan city has
charms which compensate for the
struggle and battle to live. The ob
server of human nature is amply re
paid for the time consumed in
traversing the long distances from
place to place, by the opportunity
given him of studying tho thousands
of faces he meets, each expression
yielding tho chance of drawing upon
the imagination for some romance in
which the typified emotion may be
utilized. On one side of you may
sit, in the same vehicle, the portly
millionaire, whose face pictures tho
self-complacency, and his luxurious
'contentment, while on the other
hand, with thin and trembling fin-1
gers, counting with care the few
coins returned by the conductor, may
be found the pale, wan work woman,
whose face tells the story of priva
tion and care. Tiie scant and thread
bare garment of the pauper, and the
India shawl of the plump, well-fed
princess of fashion, often touch each
other, and tho contrast comes to us
oftentimes, preaching a lesson to
those who murmur at their fancied ills,
showing by comparison, how content
we should be, free from the burden
of luxurious wealth, and safe from
the bitterness and degradations of
poverty.
The luxurious tastes of a Stewart or
a Lorillard, which conceives and ex
ecutes the palaces which grace and
adorn tiie city, appeals to the (esthe
tic part of the poor artist , who, hands
in pocket and segar in mouth, stands
across the way to admire the monu
ments of architectural skill these
millionaires have raised, and the mov
ing panorama of Fifth avenue is just
as fair a picture to tho looker-on iu
calico as to the one whose brilliant
1 silk orvelvet mantle helps to tint tho
scone.
I shall not prolong this letter, as it
is but intended as an introductory.
1 I shall endeavor at another time to
describe some of New York’s true
‘ greatness; her wonderful charities;
her great men and women; her mu
i nieipnl government, and note from
' time to time interesting items of cur
-1 rent affairs.

' The colored people of this county-
I all who voted at all last Wednesday
voted for Hill. It is highly eredit"-
able to them that so large a number
turned out and voted for an avowed

k body elso does, that, being now citi
zens, their interests are identical wit h
those of the whites, and that if the
1 Democrats will give them better laws
f than the Radicals, it is their duty and
I interest to vote the Democratic ticket.
Just so. The negroes in Bartow
county voted almost on masse for Dr.
I Felton, than whom there is no more
. pronounced “iron-ribbed'’ Democrat
. in all tiie land. Our interests are
. identical, and sooner or later both
. white and colored will vote the same
ticket. They voted for Felton in
, spite of the fact that on every speech
. he made he declared his determined
, hostility to every aet of the Radicals.

will surround him with a glitter of

Ho will bo attended by a court of the i
highest official, judicial arid military

Jordan’s Joyous Julep.
A Specific for Neuralgia.
TESTIMONIALS.
Pkter>.m,ro, Va„ Jan. 20th, 1875.
John L. Jordan, Esq.—Dear Sir: So well pleased
am 1 with your Joyous Julep, that I hereby tes
tify to the superior merit of your unequaled
preparation for Neuralgia. I shall esteem my
self happy should even one of that worst of all
classes of sufferers be led through me to take tho
Julep. My wife has for ten (10) years been a mar
tyr to the most malignant and persistent neural
gic torture, without being able to find any relief
except from your preparation. She was relieved
by the second dose as per directions, aud ha* uot
had a return of it for two months: To some I
may seem strangely sanguine about your medi
cine, but I havo a right to be so. It is uot rea
sonable to suppose this malignant malady would
have died or sheer exhaustion of capacity for
sustaining itself, and that too in a minute, aud
tho very minute your medicine was tak-u. If so,
it is a most remarkable, simple coincidence, and
I prefer giving the credit iu your favor of the
best testimony man can ever have—experience.
Vary truly yours.
JAMES T. TOSH.
Columbus, January 16, 1875.
Mr.Jordan:— l take great pleasure in recom
mending your Joyous Julep for neuralgia,
has produced a most wonderful relief iu one oj
the severest attacks of neuralgia my daughter
ever has had. She has been treated for it by
three skillful physicians, with very little benefit,
aud used all the usual remedies with little suc
cess. I can with much confidence hope for a per
manent cure. It is only two days since we began
the use of it, aud it is apparently of permanent
benefit. Yours, with respect,
MRS. L. I. NORMAN.

APPLETOXS"
American (yclopiedia.
New Revised Edition.
; Entirely rewritten by the ablest writers on every j
subject. Printed from new type, and illus- |
trated with Several Thousand Engravings j
ami Maps.
The work originally published under tin title
jof The New American C’ycloi'.edia was com
! pletedin 1863, since widt h time the wide circula
| tion which it has attained in ail parts of the
United States, and the signal developments which
* have taken place iii every branch of science, lit
! erature aud art, have induced the editors and
j publishers to submit it to an exact and thorough
| revision, and to issue anew edition entitled The
| American Cyclopedia.
; Within the last ten years the progress of dis
! covery in every department of knowledge lias
' made anew work of reference an imperative
want.
The movement of political affairs has kept pace
, with the discoveries of science, and their fruitful
; application to the industrial and useful arts and
i the convenience aud refinement of social life.
1 Great wars and consequent revolutions have oe
j curred, involving national changes of peculiar
moment. The civil war of our own country,
i which was at its height when the last volume ot
! the old work appeared, has happily been ended,
| aud anew course of commercial aud industrial
; activity has been commenced,
i Large secessions to our geographical knowl
j edge have been made by the indefatigable ex
| plorers of Africa.
The great political revolutions of the last de
i carle, with the natural result of the lapse of time,
have brought into public view a multitude of new
j men, whose names are in every one’s month, and
: of whose lives every one is curious to know the
particulars. Great battles have been fought and
i important sieges maintained, of which the de
tail* are as yet preserved only in the newspapers
) or iu the transient publications of the day, but
which ought now to take their place in perma
nent and authentic history.
Iu preparing the present edition f->r the press,
it ha* accordingly been the aim of the editors to
bring down the information to the latest possi
ble dates, and to furnish an accurate account of
• the most recent discoveries in science, of every
i fresh production in literature, and of the newest
inventions in the practical arts, as well as to give
Ia succinct and original record of the progress of
, political and historical events.
The work has been begun after long aud care
ful preliminary labor, and with the most ample
j resources lor carrying it on to a successful term
ination.
None of the original stereotype plates have
been used, but every page has been printed on
new type, forming in fact anew Cyclopaedia, with
the same plan aud compass a* its predecessor,
but w ith a far greater pecuniary expenditure,
and with such improvements in its composition
a* have been suggested by longer experience and
enlarged knowledge.
The illustrations which aro introduced for the
first time iu the. present edition have been added
not for tin* sake of pictorial effect, but to give
greater lucidity and force to the explanations in
the text. They embrace all branches of science
and of natural history, ami depict the most
famous and remarkable features of scenery,
architecture, and art, as well as the various pro
cesses of mechanics and manufactures.
Although intended for instruction rather than
