The cost for the State Govern ment for 1871 was hut $778,000. Tlie counties have no debts of any conse quence. The cities have some, but nota very heavy Indebtedness.

There is an artesian well at Heading 2,‘t00 feet deep, costing $2-2,000, which contains forty-seven grains of epsotn sail to the gallon. An ftrtesi:m Well at Fifth and Cherry streets,: Philadelphia, contains 111) grains ot foreign matter to the gallon, and (gill only lie used to condense steam for tlie boiler. Aa artesian well in South street furnishes water not lit for steam. At Seventh street and Passyuuk road there are two artesian wells, eaeii one bundled feet deep, but the water of both is so im pure that it can only be used for con densing. The water of the well at the Continent Hotel is not pure. At Louisville there is a well 2,849 feet deep, one iu St. Louis 2,089 feet deep, one in South Bend, and one in Terre Haute, but the water of them all is impregnated with minerals, and lit only for medicinal uses. At Atlantic City a number of wells have been bored in tne hope of getting pure water, blit not one yields water fit for household use.

Hut while Atlanta is a progressive eitv, it lias iniicd to detract from it. We have heard that its society is very I much mixed. We believe it is true. There is a great deal of the aristoc racy known as the “codfish” upper ten. These have money, no educa tion, plenty of cheek, and put on a great many airs. Then, there is thu bloated old whiskey tubs with the horny blossoms of pink upon their noses' tips and their limbs and feet swollen with “high living.” This class are not like the old Southern gentlemen that drank wine from his own cellar, with his friends. But why speak of Atlanta’s society? Ii is badly mixed and much of it is such as true aristocracy would not asso ciate with, but even itt At lanta there is a veneering of goo-1, clever and in telligent people. un ti l: OF TUB UllUllt lV inllH KII TO ITS HI IISI ItlllKlli.

Under this head tho Heston Jour md of f'u mmeree has tlie following editorial: “Tlie long continued dullness of industry and trade has brought, out many suggestions from the pens or voices 6f merchants of tlie bid school, whose mode of trade was entirely different front that which is practiced j by tho present generation. The mod ern style of doing business lias be come so essentially engrafted, ns it, were, upon buyers and sellers, that it must lie very hard to get, rid of it, even if the merchants and traders of the present day were willing to go back to the old system of their pre decessors. A Baltimore merchant, writing to a leading New York com mercial journal, touches one feature of the heavy expenses of trade, which is frequently n matter of conversation in business circles in all cities and i in enumerating tin- present distnlvan- j tuges of trade, lie asks ‘Are not tlie heavy expenses and short profits of mercantile business attributable to the army of traveling salesmen now seemingly entaile I to the trade, who produce an unhealthy competition amongst merchants, and do not in crease tlie consumption of goods?’ He adds that they prevent that per sonal acquaintance amongst mer chants the actual buyers and sellers —which is so necessary to establish correct credits, and to make what was once known as ‘regular’ custo mers. Before the late war, the coun try merchant was satisfied, in each branch of his trade, to deal with one, or two, at most, city houses; now he deals, on an average, with a dozen. Besides, though creditsare now thirty and sixty days, instead of, as former ly, four and six months, still, on ac count of the difficulties of tracing ids liabilities under the present system, it is contended that the old stylo was I the best ami safest,. It is asserted | that the great, number of small stores I in the country, and of merchants not [ worthy of ciedit, who have embarked j iu business under the present easy system of buying from traveling agents, only tends to injure tho sol vent eountfy merchant, who is com pelled often to sell without profit in order to keep his trade from his weaker insolvent neighbor, who offers ‘lnducements' regardless of cost. Probably the same ideas have sug gested themselves to many members COLUMBUS, GA., FBI D AY, SEPTEMBER 17, 1875. |of the jobbing trade In its various branches, but whether they can be improved upon is a difficult question to answer.’’ Comments. There is much truth in the above remarks, mid there are | some other features in the present system of doing business which ought to receive tho careful consid eration of botli wholesale nml retail merchants; for instance, ten times as many salesmen are on the road as would bo necessary to transact the amount of business done; tints uqt only increasing tho amount of ex pense which must lie supported by tho business, but, wasting the time ! both of the salesmen and country merchants in asking and answering questions which would bo unnecessa ry if merchants ordered their goods by mail or telegraph, or if they went to market in person, as most of them occasionally do. A profnitiorif grocery merchant said to its not long since: "My salesmen on tho rood cost me three times ns much in proportion to the amount of goods sold as my lieuso salesmen do; this is largely owing to the time lost, in going from customer to customer, as well as in tho cost of traveling. A house salesman who lias enough orders and customers coining iu to keep him busy, can sell throe times as many goods as if lie were on the read, and yet not work as hard; his customers have samples of my whole stock spread out. before them from which to select, and other houses are at hand if my stock does not suit him. I do not oversell on lines of goods, because I know just what I have iu stock, while with sales made ‘on the road,’ thisisa fruitful source of dis satisfaction, for with a number of salesmen out selling on the same lines of goods, there must, lx’ more running out of particular lines and consequent ‘matching,’ which is not satisfactory." “But." we said, “can not you judge of credits better when your salesmen visit customers per sonally, and see how they are doing?” "Well, perhaps that is true some times, but as a rule, no. All sales men are not good judges of credit, and the tendency of tile system is to crowd off more goods upon retail merchants than they ought to buy; salesmen are out on thoroad hunting for orders, and as the compensation of many of them is dependent upon the amount of sales, they will not lake ‘no’ for an answer, and talk mer chants into buying more than they should. The tendency of tho sys tem is to force, trade and increase credits, and 1 have always found such a growth unhealthy. My per ceutage of losses for a period of five years lias been larger upon my traveling salesmen than upon house sales. “Well then,” said, wo, “why do you not draw off all of your traveling salesmen and set them at work in the house?” “For the rea son that many country merchants have got in the habit, of buying from traveling salesmen because it is easi er, and as they do not have much competition in selling their goods they are willing to pay more for them, and iu order not. to lose this class of trade entirely, J. keep a few salesmen on tlie road.” Then you change larg er profits on goods sold on the road,” said wo. “Well, the additional ex penses have to go mi the goods some where either out of my profits or those of somebody else and Ido tin best I can to make tny usual profits, which are small enough nowadays, anyway. When the prices of prinei pal staples advance, It is natural for me to telegraph mv traveling man not to push the sales except at full prices; and when prices are declin ing, to push off stocks at old prices as long as they can do so, to help out on lh heavy traxcling expenses. The truth is, the whole system of travel ing is wromj; it, was started by the smaller class of houses which did not have proper facilities at home to do right and sell goods eheajt, and they know that, if buyers canto to market they would sen this, and go to houses that had proper facilities. On the other hand, if they could keep their customers supplied ul home they could control them better; in short, when a salesman is on the road his house is 'as big as anybody’s,’ even if it is really fourth or fifth rate.” Tills elided our conversation, and we give it. ns nearly verbatim as mir memory will permit. A traveling salesman also said to us the other day that he was tired of traveling, anil after being on the road the great est, part, of tho time for eight years, lie had made up his mind it was not as advantageous either for himself or his customers as the system of “house” or “order” sales; that he would have been further ahead in his house if lie had stayed at home, and could have sold to his customers cheat tor. It seems to us that these points confirm to a great extent those advanced in thaftrticloquoted above, but there are generally two sides to a question, and we would be glad to hear from all who are interest/--! in it. Agitation of a question brings out the truth, and if the views which we have presented be true, perhaps we can inaugurate a better, easier and j cheaper system of doing business, which will bo to the advantage of wholesale merchants, retail mer chants, salesmen and consumers. The Springfield f Mass.) liewtbliran says that the Northern public, after last year’s ex perience, can be trusted to make tho necessary allowances and deductions for partisan eager ness to make capital on the eve of important, elections. There is no State in the Union whore there are not elements of disorder and violence, but in none, except the Southern, is the Federal military called upon to interfere. It would be a good deal better to es tablish at once a judicious military government in Southern States than to be ruled by irresponsible and mur derous carpet-baggers Laving author ity, whenever it suits their infernal purposes, to bringdown Federal bay onets upon tile jieople. It is only in such States that disorder prevails. In Virginia and other Southern Com monwealths, which are permitted to control their own affairs, ail is quiet- j ness and peace.

Tho Madrid correspondent of the Tin d’h .summa rizes the circular of the Papal liuuoio lo the Bishops as follows: The nuncio claims the fulfilment of the concordat, which forbids the ex orcise of any non-Catliolic creed and requires the transfer of tho superin tendence over education to the cler gy, and pledgee the co-operation of the secular power in suppressing her etical teaching and literature. He says one of the causes of civil war is the way in which religious unity has been misunderstood by previous governments. For these reasons, and in view of these conse quences, the Holy See believes itself strictly obliged to present these ob servations to t he Government. The Tiiiwh* correspondent adds that no doubt the presentation of this au dacious claim at a time when the Liberal Cabinet has just been install ed, implies a throat that if the Gov ernment reject it, the blessing of the Church will be definitely transferred to Don Carlos and peace retarded in every possible way. • ♦ • New York llemorritt..

Ol IK NEW VEOTHHK liy reference to tho proper column ii will be seen that we have resolved to reduce our charge for the Dau.y Times, on and aftor October first, to Six Dollars per annum, not including postage, or six dollars and sixty eonts when postage is paid by us. Ourohargofor delivering tho paper to city subscribers will bo five cents per month. For one month our friends can get our Daily paper for the low price of fifty cents, postage to be added, and tints the exulting nows of tho approaching Presidential can vass will lie In reach of the poorest in the laud. Our advertising rates will be kept at the present low prices. We thus offer the cheapest Daily in the State, with advertising rates nearly half less than those charged by pa pers in other States that are pub lished at six dollars per annum. Out advertising rates uro much cheaper than those of tlie other papers pub lished in the principal cities in Geor gia, and it will be seen that our sub scription price is only one-half as much as that of many Dailies, while we hope ultimately to make tho Times as good us any paper. Our efforts will be redoubled to make the Times hotter than it hus yet been, but wo intend to keep within safe bounds and not enlarge our paper sooner than tho public patronage will admit. It is ourpurposo to condenso news matter into as small n compass as possible, in order to give tlie great est variety of news at tlie least possi ble cost. With malice to none, wo hojio to merit tlie continuance of that gener ous patronage which has thus en abled us to reduce our rates. Con vinced that the only relief that our people can obtain from present woes, is by hard work and close economy, supplemented by a cash system, we will rigidly adhere to the cash system from this date. We pay cash for all our work; we do not pretend to be making a great deal of money; but wo earnestly request our friends to sus tain us by immediate payment of all dues. Tho name of every subscriber who docs not want our paper enough to pay for it by Oetober first, will be stricken from our books; yet we hope to retain them all. Upon every question of importance our columns arc open to the public, of all shades of opinion. We hope to make our paper the best iicich paper iu Western and Southwestern Geor gia, or Eastern Alabama, or Northern Florida, and solicit subscriptions from every part of these States. We will send out a special canvasser in every direction, so as to bo able to se cure subscriptions wherever it will pay our merchants to have their ad vertisements read. A liberal patron age will alone enable us to make our paper what we design to make it—the best advertising medium in this section. A l* BUTTONS' American Cyclopaedia. New Revised Edition. Entirely rewritten by tin; Ablest writers on every Hiibjtct. Printed from new type, ami illus trated with Several Thousand Eugruviugs and Maps. The work originally published under tho title of The New American Oyclofkidia whs com pleted in 1363, Biuee which time the wide circula tion which it has attained iu all parts of the United States, and tho sigimldevolopments which have taken place in every branch of science, lit erature ami art, have induced the editors ami publishers to submit it to ai. exact and thorough revision, and to issue anew edition entitled The American Cyclof.edia. Within tho last leu years the progress of dis covery lu every department of knowledge lias made a now work ol reference au imperative want. The movement of politieal affairs hus kept pace witn the discovericH of science, and their iruitlu application to tho industrial ami useful arts ami tlie convenience and reiiueuicut of social life. Great wars ami consequent revolutions have oc eurrod, involving national changes of peculiar moment. Tho civil war of our own country, which was at its height when the last volume ol the old work appeared, lias happily been ended, and anew course of commercial and industrial activity has been commenced. iAtrgo accessions to our geographical kuowl edge have been made by the indefatigable ex plorers of Africa. The great political revolutions of the last de cade, with the natural result of the lapse of time, have brought into public view u multitude of new men, whose names are in every oue’s mouth, and of whose lives every one is curious to know the particulars. Great battles have Been fought and important sieges maintained, ot which the de tails are us yet preserved only in the newspapers or In th transient publications of the day, but which ought now. to take their place iu perma nent and authentic history. In preparing the present edition f*r the press, it bus accordingly been the aim of the editors to bring down the information to the latest possi ble dates, ami to furnish an accurate account of the most recent discoveries iu science, of every fresh production in literature, and of the newest inventions in the practical arts, as well as to give a succinct and original record of tho progress of political and historical events. The work has been begun alter long ami care ful preliminary labor, uml with the niost ample resources lor carrying it on to a successful term ination. None of tin; original stereotype plates have been used, but every page has been printed on new type, forming iu fact anew Cyclopaedia, with the same plan and compass us its predecessor, but with a far greater pecuniary expenditure, and with such Improvements in its composition as have been suggested by longer experience ami enlarged knowledge. The illustrations which uro introduced for the first time iu the present edition have bean added not for the sake of pictorial effect, but to give greater lucidity and force to the explanations in the text. They embrace all brandies of science and ol natural blstorv, ami depict tho most famous and remarkable features of scenery, : architecture uml art. as well as the various pro- i (Misses of mechanics ami manufactures. I Although intended for instruction rather thau embclishmeut, no pains have Ikcu spared to in sure their artistic excellence; the cost of their execution is enormous, and it is believed they will find a welcome reception as an admirable feature of the Cyclopiediu, ami worthy of its high character. This work is sold to Subscribers only, payable on delivery of each volume. It will be completed iu sixteen large octavo volumes, each containing about 800 pages, fully illustrated with several thousand Wood Engravings, and witW numerous colored Lithographic Maps. Eleven volumes ready. Succeeding, until completion, will be issued once In two j months. First-Class Canvassing Agents wanted. Address tho Publishers, D. APPLETON & CO., S4U aud rrl llroadway, N.

We are the patentees, and have our Bolt protected by a Trade Mark. Sure Cure.—lu another column will lie found two remarkable certificates about the efficacy of Drs. Willson ft Love’s Malarial Belts. The diffi culty in the way of using these belts is that they arc so simple that few iau believe that there is any virtue iu them. When a patient is told to use one he is very much like Naaman when told that, to ( uro his leprosy, he had only to bathe iu the river Jordau. Hon. John K. Ward says that during his stay iu China, as Minister, these belts were used with great as preventives of cholera. We know a case where a lady had been suffering with chills for more than a year, aud was dually induced to adopt one of these belts. She bus not had a return of the chills since, and she is fully persuaded that it is owing to the belt. l)r, Willson's terms are very lair—uo cure, no pay. 44-Re ad the following certificates: Atlanta, Ga., June 6, 1875.

Wishing everybody that may be ho unfortunate an to have Chills and Fever may bo fortunate enough to get one of your Belts, T am, respectfully, etc., • W. J. Wilson. Atlanta, Ga„ June 3, 1875 Dus.
