The worthy Treasurer of the State Itoad in-
rormed us a few darn ago, that he had trans
mitted to the Treasury at Milledgeville $25,-
000, as the nett earnings of the Hoad for the
month of Septcmtar, making in all up to this
time the handsome little sum of $175,000.
Hurrah for Joe Brown and the management of
the State Road 1—JrU. Oct. bth.
The above extract was published in our pa
per of Oct. 5th. Two subscribers. Huson k
Johnson of Kingston, and the Crutchfield
House of Chattanooga, have returned their pa
pers to this oii.ee- the former with the article
marked, and the latter we suppose for the
same reason. We erase ihel r names with
pleasure, believing that we did right in speak
ing of the State Road and its management .
We believe the people of Georgia will sustain
the present administration so long as they con
tinue to jay $25,000 into the Treasury. We
again reiterate. ‘•Hurrah for Joe Brown and

way Dr. Lewis as a Financier and business
man has few equals in Georgia. So long as
the Road is managed to jay into the Treasury

these weekly papers hail uniertaken to break

We should be glad to hare some authentic
information, as to whether Judge Douglas In
Sis recent speeches, does really hold'the opin
ion ascribed to him ih the following extract of
a reported speech:
“It is stated that Judge Douglas in reply to
Mr. Lincoln’s inquiry “Can the people of the
United States Territory in any lawful way.
against the wish of any citizen of the United
States—exclude slavery liefore it becomes a
State ?” Has said: “I answer emphatically as
Mr. Lincoln has heard me answer a hundred
times on every stump in Illinois, that in my
opinion the people of a Territory can by law
ful means exclude slavery before it becomes a
State.”
The enforcement of this idea by the Illinois
Senator would practically nullify the right of
a Southern man to carry his property,
and to the commoin territories of the Union.
The Dred Scott decision would be utterly
worthless to protect that property the
Constitution of the United States xvonld
fail to guarantee those rights which it was in.
tended to maintain and protect.
Hi* Democratic party [ cannot tolerate a
doctrine so utterly at war with its well known
principles on this subject, and no man can oc
cupy an exalted position in its ranks who at-
vi-ry tempts to introduce a hercsyjso fatal toils
existence. Until a territory shall by its own
volition organize itself into a State, and frame
a constitution which shall he its organic law,
tie: property of the citizens of every State in
the Union must be protected if not by the lo
cal laws, by the Courts of the United States,
and should a territorial legislature refuse to
pass any laws at all to protect such property,
slaveholde rs, would and ought to be protected
by the Federal Judiciary.

I have no design with “Toombs, Stephens

gia.’' My own opinion is, the next Democrat
ic candidate for the Presidency, ought to be ta
ken from the Cotton growing or Sugar raising
States. I have uniformly so expressed myself
for the last six months. "Whatever apparent
concert there may be between us, is wholly ac-
vidental. It is, i apprehend, the result < C like

The insinuation/ thrown out by some of the

power of the government shall not be used to
crush out passible candidates for tlie Presidency

“Mother, mother!" cried Charlie,' a few
minutes afterward, as he ran to the oj^ry.
No mother was there. Bo he ran to the bea-
Motheri” he cried again.
“Mother is not here,” said a gentle voice.
It was that of his sister Amelia. “Mother is
in the parlor with company. My manly little
brother ought to wait till he can get the room,
and not go all about the house calling for some
one that is busy.”
“That is so!” exclaimed Charlie, throwing
his arms around her neck, and imprinting a
kiss on her cheek. “My good sister is always
telling me something that would make me
better, if I would only heed her counsels. But
what are you and Eddie talking about here so
busy'?” . . .
.•Oh!” replied Eddie eagerly, “sister is tel
ling me all the verses in the Bible about tem-
oeranee, and you can’t think how many there
are. It- seems as if there was something
in the Bible about all the good tilings in the
“Yes, but Master Eddie, you need not think
you are going to have all these good thirigs to
yourself,” said Charlie, throwing himself
down on the carpet..
“We shall be very glad to have you share
them with us,’ replied Amelia. “I was just
reading in Proverbs, where Solomon is telling
his son not to drink wine:”
“Well sister, did not Christ drink wine
when he was on the earth, and did he not once
turn water into wine?”
“True, but I heard our Sunday School tea
cher say that that was new wine—just the
fresh juice of the grape, which was a common
drink in that, country. It would not make
anybody drunk. But when it stood a long
time und fermented, it had alchohol in it, and
then it made people drunk, and then it would
sparkle and look bright ill the cup, just as it
says here - ”
’“Well, read on sister, f wont interrupt you
again.”
So Amelia read from tlie twenty-third chap
ter of Proverbs:
“Who hath woe? Who hath sorrow? W ho
hath contentions? Who hath babbling? Who
hath wounds without cause? Who hath red
ness of eyes? They that tarry long at the
wine; they that go to seeks mixed wine.”
“Look not upon the wine when it is red--
when itgivclh its color in the cup—when it
moveth itself aright. At the last it biteth
like a serpent, and stingeth like an adder.-
Thine eyes shall behold strange women; and
thine heart shall utter perverse things.
“There!” said Amelia, “I guess that is all
about that. Oh! no, it is not; this is telling
how he acts; Yea, thou shalt be as he that li-
eti! down in the midst of the sea. or as he that
lieth on the top of a mast They have strick
en me, and i was not sick: they have beaten
me, and I felt it not: when shall 1 awake ? I
will seek it yet again.”

stand as as a. witness, on the opposite side of
Mr. Webster. Webster, at a glance, had the
sagacity to foresee that her? testimony, if it
contained anything of importance, would have
great weight with the Court and Jury. He,
therefore, resolved, if possible, to break her
up And when she answered to the first ques
tion put to: “1 believe,” Webster roared out,
“We don’t want to hear what you believe;
we want to hear what you know!” Mrs.
Greenough replied, “That is just what I was
about to say sir,” and went on with her tes
timony And notwithstanding his repeated
efforts to disconcert her, she pursued the even
tenor of her way, until Webster becoming
quite fearful of tiie result, arose apparently in
great agitation, and drawing out his large
snuffbox, thrust his thumb and finger to the
very bottom, and carrying the deep pinch to
both nostrils, drew it up with a gusto ; and
then extracting from his pocket a very large
handkerchief, which flowed to his feet as he
brought it to the front, he blew his nose with
a report that rang distant and loud through
t he crowded hall. Webster—“Mrs. Greenough,
was Mrs. Bodgen a neat woman ?’ ’ Mrs.
Greenough.—‘T cannot give you full informa

trick.” Webster—“What’sthat, ma’am?”—
Mrs. Greenough—“She took snuff !” Tiie
roar of the Court House was such that the fu
ture defender of the constitution subsided, and
neither rose nor spoke again until after Mrs.
Greenough had vacated her chair ior another
witness—having ample time to reflect upon

“Certainly,” was the reply. “Don’t you

reasoned of righteousness, temperance, uid a
judgment to come, Felix trembled?”
“Oh, yes!” exclaimed Charlie: “then Raul

is all the temperance lectures that he ever
gave?”

coming in, and he jumped up and ran to meet
hei.
“Oh, neither! ” lie said. " 1 am so glad
that Jeff Townlev is going to sign the
pledge! ”
“So am I,' replied his mother, “for your
sake as well as liis own. It shows you the in
fluence of one boy tnat dares to do right. And
I am happy to see you in such g*uu spirits:
quite like yourself again, and the mother’s
fond kiss brought the tears to his eyes as he
thought ho w !:e had injured her feelings, ami
how fully site had iorgiven him
“What are you thinking of Charlie?” in-
quired Mr. Martin the next morning ai break
fast.
“I have been trving to think what could
have started Jeff to sign the pledge. 1 would
like to know of what use he thinks it will be
to him.’
■ ‘ l thought you were glad t flat lie had sign
ed tlie piedge.”
“So ! am, but I would like to kie’W wbaHic

him much good.”
■I can tell of some good that it would have
done somebody if lie had signed it someday
ago-’-
Cliarlie looked up inquiringly, and his fath
er continued
“He would not have given you tiiose brau-
py-drops, my son.”
"Why not, father?” inquired Charlie, look
ing a litth confused at this allusion.
‘Don’t you remember what your pledge
says? I think you had better read it again.”
< hariie ran to get it, and soon exclaimed:
“Oh y-.-s, I see! he would have promise;!
not to offer it to his friends and that is ago<>d
idea, for if one promises not to touch it him
celt, he ought not to offer it to his faiends. —
But , then, father, I was thinking Low small a
chance there was, that so good a fellow as Jeff,
one that knows so much, and is so well-behav
ed, should ever become a drunkard.”
“Very true, he might never become a dr.m-
kiu i i. y. t there is no surety of that n me of
the roost intellectual men have given them
selves up to drink, anti it lias ruined them;
and sometimes they have sunk as low an the
vilest street drunkards. Besides, wine often
works mischief when it docs not make drunk
ards. Do you know who was the last sover
eign of France 4 before Louis Napoleon?”
“It was Louis Pliillippe, was it not? ’
“Yes. and his eldest son was called tlie Duke
of Orleans. Ifcis young man was looked up
on as the heir of his father’s throne, and his
excellent qualities made him very much be-
toved and deservedly popular He was hand
some. intellectual and noble. No one thought
lhat he wouip fall a victim of wine-—indeed,
lie never became intoxicate*!. But on the joy
ous occasion, he drank one glass too much—
just one glass too much. On tear ing the com
pany he entered his carriage, and hail not
gone far when his horses took fright and ran.
If he had been quite sober, it would have kept
his seat, which is the safest -uvse at such
times; but he jumped out. If he had not
drank to; much wine he would have alighted
on his feet; as it was, his head struck the pave
ment and lie was killed. Ah! my sou, you
may be sure that the only safe way is, not to
touch it. If a promise will help ns to avoid
it, give the promise freely. And, besides, I
think it a noble thing for everyone, woman
and child to vow cnternal hatred to the stuff
that does so much mischief in the world.”—

Catholic Funerals. —Bishop O’Connor of
Pittsburg, with a view o* doing away with
unnecessary expense and large displays at
Catholic funerals, has issued the following
regulations to lie observed there- hereafter,
whenever the performance of the Church ser
vice is desired:
1. The funeral, at which the friends of the
deceased, or of the surviving relatives, are ex
pected to be present, shall be confined to the
procession from the house to the church, and
the ol’Sequies performed in the church.
2. No carriages shall be permitted but those
containing the pall-bearer: and the immediate
relatives of the deceased. The wearing of
mourning shall be a test of their connection
with the deceased when more than two car
riages are used.
y. All others attending the turn ral go on
foot from the house to ih>- church, and arc
conaidc red dismiss* d when the obs* quies are
performed.
4. The priest who isto< Jiiciate •;ill receive
the corjise at tiiedoor if tiie church, in accord
ance with the requirements o" tlm ritual He
should be informed beforehand who has charge
of the fun ral. Befon receiving th* corpse
he will ask this person publicly whether he
* n -• jt 3 to see ti"-rules here laid down faith
fully followed, and whether they have been
followed up to chat time. Unless uu ansvx r be
given in the affirmative, or if it be certain that
that they really have been disregarded, the
corpse wi 1 i not.be received into the church.
5. When more than two carriages are used
the person in . barge of the funeral should
bring a list of tlie sane to the officiating priest
and satisfy hi i that they are occupied by tlie
persons above referred to. This list signed
i\v the prie; . will entitle such carriages to the
admitiaii’ e to the cemetery. Without such a
document, the gate-keeper at the re me ten
will not admit more than two carriages at any
funeral.
