Plymouth Church hud a great ac
cession of new converts on Sunday.
There were 105 of them by count;
and of this largo number eighty-two
were women and only twenty-three
were men.“• Tribune.
Tito abovo paragraph contains food
for thought und reflection, but of
that sort of reflection that is posi
tively disgusting. The state of affairs
around and in the shadow of Ply
mouth Church is a natural outcrop
ping of the climate. When the civ
ilized world stands aghast at tho
spectacle presented In the Beecher
trial, It is a recorded fact that tho
women of Brooklyn rally to tho sup
port of their old infamous preacher,
and are lulled by his syren voico into
membership. This late accession to
tho Church of Beeoherism is a stigma
upon tho people. But, ns the man
said about eating the coon, “it is just
accordin to how a man's been
raised.” It will all work out some of
these fine days, and it will bo found
necessary to send a delegation of the
women of that church to Egypt to
join Gen. Loring.
It will be seen by the following that
California is not exempt from tho
monopolies which, in some form,
afflict other States. Parties who think
of going to California should read the
following from the Nan Francisco
Call :
The New Monopoly. The public
are just beginning to realize the
troubles which are in prospect for
California, if the water claims that
are spt up by speculators can be sus
tained. Although there is water
enough for irrigating purposes and
to supply the different towns and cit
ies throughout the State, yet these
are nearly all claimed. Such a field
as is offered for making money, by
an assumed ownership of the sources
of wutor supply, was never before
presented in any country. Water is
the great and absolute necessity, per
haps on one-fourtb of all the land
susceptible of cultivation in Califor
nia. Whoever controls or owns the
water can tax these lands at pleasure.
Wo talk of a laud monopoly, but this
is a small affair when compared witli
tho attempt to monopolize tho water.
Tho people, as we have suggested,
are beginning to rcalizo what, a strug
gle they have In prospect, which must
go all through the State.
Decisions by the U. S. Treasurer.

made the following decisions :
Salt in sacks is not considered a

tion irrespective of the quantity con
tained in such shipment.
Horses exported to be trained may

—Senator Conover, of Florida, has
assurances that tho clause In tho ap
propriation bill which provides for
the construction of a canal across the
isthmus of Florida will be curried out
at an earlv date. This canal would
save 800 miles of rough seas. It
would develop those parts of Florida
that aro now comparatively un
sought.
—lt is stated that not a single

Ol I HOPES.
As can be seen In our last issue, It
is our purpose to do all in our power
tQ draw tho attention of immlgruats
and the people of tho bleak North
west where tho grasshoppers uro so
devastating, und tho mercury and
proof-whiskey congeal, und people
freeze to death from cold—to our
salubrious climate and cheap lands.
Our success in this enterprise depends
entirely upon tho practicability of
inducing our land-holders to co
ojtcmte witli us. With this end in
view, wo make the following proposi
tion
TO Tin; PLANTERS OK GEORGIA ANO EABT
AEADAUA.
Write us detailed descriptions of all
tho land that you wish to sell, with
price for tho sumo. State briefly, but
specifically,
1. The total number of acres offered
for sale.
2. Number acres cleared land, and
character of the timber.
3. Number acres woodland.
4. Value of the Improvements, and
their character.
5. General topography.
6. Yield of different crops per acre,
witli and without manure, and cost of
cotton seed per bushel.
7. Water powers, mills, Ac., &c., In
vicinity.
8. Means of transportation and dis
tant* from market.
9. Number of farms in which it can
be conveniently divided, witli most
prevalent diseases.
10. Prices of each tract, entire and
sub-divided, with terms as to cash
and tinjeand rate of interest charged.
With these data published as ad
vertisements sufficiently often to
compensate for the work and time
and expense incurred by us, we will
do all in our power to promote the
advantageous sale of said property,
and will keep a Register, without
making any charge for it, projierly
numbered, in our office as a guide to
all those who see fit to establish
themselves among us. We will have
constantly engaged an agent in New
York tosee that these advertisements
are distributed at Castle Garden and
other suitable points.
If sufficient patronage is given us
to warrant the expense, we will send
one of our number to the Northwest
next summer, there to work up the
enterprise, and induce immigrants
with capital to purchase our cheap
lands and mines, and aid us in devel
oping this country, great in resources,
but impoverished
FROM THE LACK OF PEOPLE.
Can they be induced to come hero ? !
We do not assert that they can ; but
we think the effort should be made,
and tiiat that offort should be a united
one: “a long pull, a strong pull, and
a pull altogether.” If there is not
co-operation, the plan can not suc
ceed, and, of course, we will not
attempt it.
The expense of advertising will be
a trifle to real estate owners, and a
very small remuneration to us, and
wo believe it tho cheapest mode by
which the resources and properties
in question can be known. Our pa
per is read now by nearly two thous
and people, each of whom will be in
terested in the fluctuations of real
estate. Gen. Wofford, who is, per
haps, the largest real estate agent in
upper Georgia, except those in At
lanta, told us that real estate in Bar
tow county, he thought, had appre
ciated from twelve to fifteen percent,
per annum since the close of the war.
It is reasonable ty suppose that
there is a proportional depreciation
in other parts of the State. This
steady deterioration of values must be
stopped, or it will first impoverish us
beyond redemption and ultimately
depopulate our country. We only
ask a moderate remuneration for our
services and that of an agent in New
York, and if that is granted us we
promise to do all in our power to put
the ball in motion that may change
tho destinies of this country. Others
more capable than ourselves will
then take up the work and carry it to
successful completion.
“Chacun pour tons et tons pour cha
eun." No time is more propitious
than tho present, when our Geologi
cal Bureau will furnish tho necessary
data to complete that given by the
planters themselves. We leave the
matter to thoso to whom it concerns,
and arc ready to do our part. In
common with ail our people our pros
perity depends on an increasing pop
ulation who will bring capital as well
labor. Turn the tide of immigration
this way and our lands will rapidly
appreciate in value. Do not say it
can not be done. Look at the town
of Culmann, in North Alabama, ami
the mind will be at once convinced
that it only needs determined and
united effort to reap success.
Secretary Bristow.
Secretary Bristow is fast making a
record that may ultimately land him
in the Presidential chair. The worst
legacy left by the war was the un
due thirst for speculative gaiu which
led to fraud in high places and
a general corruption which culmina
ted in the panic. It is cause for con
gratulation and renewed hope that at
last Gen. Grant lias appointed a man
who will as fearlessly ferret out the
frauds which predecessors connived
at, or at least tacitly encouraged.
The old adage, "Honesty is the best
policy,” had become well nigh obso
lete, but wo now have hope that it
may again become as true as of old.
After the “Credit Mobilier” and
"Land Grants” to Railway corpora
tions come next in order the stupen
dous frauds in whiskey and distilled
spirits. Secretary Bristow is unearth
ing these with the ante-bellum ener
gy. We give below extracts from
the Tribune on this subjeet:
THE INTERNAL REVENUE TAX ON LIQUORS.
Previously to July 1, 18t58, the tax
on distilled spirits had been two dol
lars per gallon, and on that date it
was reduced to fifty cents. At this
rate it remained until August 1, 1872,
when it was raised to seventy cents.
In February, 1875, it was again
raised, and is now fixed at one dollar.
' It is very wall known that when tho
to* was two dollars a gallon itpro
| duoed less than it did after the redue
i tion wus made to fifty cents. It is
not so well known that since the
present Administration lias been ele
vating our civil service to its present
sublime altitude, the quantity of dis
tilled spirits escaping the payment
of taxes into the National Treasury,
which was never excessively small,
lias been constantly increasing.
This is the fact wo propose to estab
lish, leaving it for our readers tola-,
terpret Its signillcance.
The Hon. Columbus Delano, on
page 10 of his autiual report us Com
missioner of the Internal Revenue
for tlie fiscal your 1869, estimates the '
annual consumption of distilled spir
its in the United Huttos at that time :
at not less than eighty inillUnui of gal-'
lons. After the best consideration lie
had been able to give the subject lie 1
estimated tiiat the Tax law, as it then
stood, if faithfully enforced, would
yield an annual revenue of sixty mil
lions of dollurs. (Vide Report, 1801,
p. 10. j The population of the country
since then has increased at least one
sixth, and the taxes on spirits have
been very considerably increased, but
the total amount collected in the!
fiscal year ended June 30, 1874. from ;
tliis source, was only £49,444,090, in- \
eluding licenses. In the fiscal year
ended June 30, 1870 (The change from 1
the two-dullar rate to fifty cents hav
ing been made in 1868a the returns to
the Commissioner of Internal Reve
nue showed u total taxable produc-1
tion of liquors distilled from other
material than fruits, of 71,337,099 gal- ;
ions. The saino rejiort Showed that
the distilleries of the country, if op
erated to the full extent of their uu- 1
paeity for ten months out of the
twelve, were capable of producing
203,912,800 gallons a year. Let us see |
how the annual production, ns far as
discovered and taxed by the Internal
Revenue officers, compares for the j
last five years;
It was, in 1870, 71,337,099 gallons.
It wus, in 1871, 54,576,440 gallons.
It was, in 1872, 68,275,745 gallons.
It was, in 1873, 68,236,567 gallons.
It was, in 1874, 68,805,374 gallons. 1
The United Kingdom advances in
population much less rapidly than ■
tlie United States, yet the respective |
quantities of British and foreign
spirits and wines retained and taxed j
for home consumption in that eoun- j
try tell a very different tale from !
ours, comparing as follows for the
six years 1868-1873, inclusive:
British Spirits. Foreign Bp*U, Foreign Wine i

The excise duties collected on a
gallon of spirits in Great Britain aro |
ten shillings a gallon, or more than
three times those imposed in the j
United States. Tlie revenue derived ]
by Great Britain in the year ended
March 31, 1874, was $73,000,600 from j
British spirits, $26,000,000 from for
eign liquors, $9,000,000 from foreign j
wines, and $38, 000.000 from malt j
liquors. In the fiscal year 1871, the \
United States received $44,000.000
from the gallon tax on spirits, $9,000,- !
000 from malt liquors, and $8,000,000 j
from customs duties on foreign wines j
and liquors. From 1864 to 1874, the
British revenue from excise duties on i
spirits increased more than fifty per |
cent without any change whatever |
in the tax per gallon. In the fiscal
year 1870 the United States derived u
revenue from spirits of $55,581,599, in
eluding license fees, and though the
tux was raised to seventy cents a gal
lon August 1, 1872, the Internal Rev
enue Otiice lias never succeeded in
matching its receipts for 1870 under
the fifty cent tax! These are tlie facts.
We leave to Commissioner Douglass
the difficult tusk of explaining them.
Since lie could not explain them lie
wus very properly removed from of
liee. Thanks to Secretary Bristow.
N. K. Tribune.
In the removal of Air. Douglass, a
blow was struck at the system which
his predecessor, Mr. Delano, initia
ted, as well as at the individual who
continued it. Douglass lacked effi
eiency as well as other qualifications
more important. Unfitness at tlie
head extended through the rank and
file, until the revenue fell off alarm
ingly, and tho now whiskey frauds in
three months are rated at a round
million.
To perpetrate these frauds success
fully required collusion oil a large
scale between the Collectors and
Commissioner’s office.. Of its exist
ence there can now be but little
doubt, for tlie facts uro overwhelm
ing, and’exclude any possibility of
satisfactory explanation. Certainly
Mr. Douglass was able to make none,
and ho was not dismissed without a
full knowledge of the reasons lor that
summary step,—JVeui Turk Sun.
Tlir Annlo of F.oroiH*.
Beginning with Russia, that power
has at tliis moment under arms 730,-
IMX) of the active force ready for tlie
field, 120,0ut) men classed as garrison
troops, 80,000 of the load force, 266,-
000 of the reserve, 257,000 men in de
pots, and, finally, 7u,000 Cossacks en
rolled for the active contingent, or a
total of 1,463,000 men, ready for the
business of war at short notice. Upon
tlie enforcement of tlie new iaws reg
ulating obligatory service, tlie field
force could be speedily enlarged to
900,n0d men, and there could be drawn
a force of 68,000 men from tho special
corps occupying the Caucasus,
making the effective strength 1,760,-
000. This may be readily augmented
by 200,000 Cossacks, and from the
OpoUclumsi or Landiw.hr may bo drat
ted another million of men'giving an
aggregate of 2,900,000 available for
war purposes. For this immense
force the very best of modern arms
have been provided, including the
Gavliug gun and tlie latest improved
American revolver for the ' cavalry
Never before was Russia so well pre
pared in all respects for war, defen
sive or offensive.
The scale of Prussian military pre
paration is known to all men. Re
cently the Prussian artillery lias been
completely reorganized, and the
field artillery, separated from that
designed forslegennd fortress service,
has been distributed among the sev
eral army corps, at the rate of two
regiments, eueli of two battalions and
eight batteries, to the corps. Of these
batteries there are 300, aud when
completed the organization will con
sist of 35 regiments with an arma
ment of 1,200 pieces, to be increased
to 1,800 in war. The foot or fortress
and siege artillery, at present, em
brace 29 battalions of four companies
each, armed with the needle-gun, ami
trained iu infantry as well as ip heavv
artillery service. Without counting
the reserves, we may set down the
Imperial army at nearly 900,000 men.
AH the frontier fortresses are being
rapidly enlarged and strengthened by
every engineering device; and it is
noteworthy that those on the Russian
border have received as close atten
tion as those facing France. By a
recent act of the Reichstag provision
was also made for tho maintenance
of the Landsturm fold soldiers for
seven years, at a peace footing of
400.000 men.
Franco of course lias boon making
prodigious exertions to keep pace
with these preimrations of Prussia
and Russia, and has a reorganized
army of at least 625,000 men, exclusive
of tlie new Territorial armies. In the

J The work originally published under the title
of Tine New American Crolopacdia was com
pleted ui 1863, amev which time the wide circula
tion which It has attained in all parts of the
l uibri States, and thu sigual development* wluch
Lave taken place in every branch of science, lit
erature aud art. have induced the editors aud
publishers to submit it to au exact aud thorough
revision, ami to Issue anew edition entitled Tick
Amekuan Gycloimcdia.
Within the last ten years the progress of dis
covery iu every department of knowledge bus

The movement of jiolitical affairn has kept pace
; with the discoveries of science, and their truitiui
I application to the industrial aud useful arts ami
the oouvouietj! e and nhuemeut of social lile.
. Great wars and consequent revolutions havef oc
curred, involving national changes of peculiar
, moment. The civil war of our own country,
[ which was at its height when the last volume oi
| the old work appeared, has happily been ended,
| and anew course of commercial and industrial
j activity has been commenced.
Istrga accessions to our geographical knuwl
| edge have been made by the ind- fatigable ex*
j plorett of Africa.
The great political revolutions of the last de
cade. with the natural result wi the lapse of time,
have brought into public view a multitude oi new
men, whose names are in every oue’s mouth, and
<>t wb<.e Uvea every ime is curious to know the
particulars. Great buttles have beeu (ought and
Important sieges maintained, of which the da
tails are as yet preserved < uly in the newspapers
or in the trausiuit puhiicati ms of the day, but
which ought now to take their place in perma
nent aud authentic history.
Iu preparing the present edition for the press,
' it has accordingly been the aim oi the editors to
bring (town the information to the latest possi
ble dat s. and to furnish an accurate accouht of
; the most resent discoveries iu science, of every
fresh production iu literature, aud of the newest
inventions in the practical arts, as well as to give
a sin-duct and original record of the- progress oi
political and historical events.
The work has been begun after Jbng and care
j l’ul preliminary labor, aud with the most ample
resources tor carrying it on to a successful term
ination.
None of the original stereotype plates have
been used, but every page has Wien printed on
Uew type, forming iu lad anew Cyclopedia, with
the same plan and coin pass as its predecessor,
but with a lar greater pecuniary expenditure,
and with such improvements iu its composition
as have been suggested by longer experience ami
enlarged knowledge.
The illustrations which aro introduced for the
iirst time in tho present edition have been added
nut lor the sake oi pictorial efloct, but to give
greater lucidity and force t-> the explanations in
the text. They embrace all branches of scicnc
aud of natural history, aud depict the moat
famous and remarkable features of scenery,
architecture and art, as well as tlie various pro
cesses of mechanics and manufactures.
' Although intended for instruction rather than
cmbelishim-nt, no pains have been spared to in
sure their artistic excellence; the cost of their
execution is enormous, aud it is believed th* y
will find a welcome reception aw an admirable
feature of the t yclopadia, and worthy of its
nigh character.
I’ll is work is sold to Subscribers only, payable
on delivery of each volume. It will bo completed
in sixteen large octavo volumes, each containing
about 800 pages, fnlly Illustrated with several
thousand Wood Engravings, and with numerous

Jordan's Joyous Julep.

A Specific for Neuralgia.
TESTIMONIALS.
PxTKusnri;o, Va., Jan. 20th, 1875.
John L. Jordan. Esq.—Dear Sir: ,s> well phased
I am I with your Joyous Julep, that I hereby tes
tify to the superior merit of your unequal**!
preparation for Neuralgia. I shall esteem my
self happy should even one of that worst of all
classes • i sufferers be led through me to take the
Julep. My wife has for ten (10) years been a mar
tyr t > the most malignant and persistent neural
gic torture, withent being able t" find any relief
except front your prejiaration. Hh was relieved
by the second d' Se as p< r directions, and has not
had a return of it for two months. To some I
may seem strangely sanguine about yur medi
cine. but I have a right to be so. It is not rea
sonable to suppose thin malignant mala.ly would
have died of sheer oxhiusiiou oi capacity for
sustaining itself, aud that too in a minute, aud
tiie very minute tout medicine was tak n. Tf so,
it is a most remarkable, simple coincidence, aud
I prefer giving the credit in your favor of the
best testimony man taioever have—experience.
Vary truly yqtirs,
JAMES T. TOSH.
Columbus, January 16, 1875.
Mr.Jordan: —l take great pleasure rn reccip
; mending your Joyous Julep for neuralgia,
lias produced a most wonderful relief in one oi
' the severest attacks of nenrulgia 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 iB only two days since we began
the use of it, and it is apparently of permanent
benefit. Yours, with respect,
MRS. L. I. NORMAN.
