Death of ex-President Bhr- NETT. —David G. Burnett, first Presi dent of the Republic of Texas, died at Galveston, on the Bth instant, aged 83. lie was,probably the oldest survivor of the original American settlers of Texas, having settled there in 1817.^ 'tejF The testimony comes from Mr. Summer himself, that he was present with Mr. Stanton when lie gave the or der for the burial of the Union dead at Arlington, and stated that he had issued it to prevent any of the Lee family from ever recovering the property. fy&r One hundred and fifty thousand dollars have been raised to establish a first class Democratic paper in San Fran cisco.

The Liyo Oak Herald calculates that sugar c.m be produced this year at ten cents per pound, and syrup at seventy-five cents per gallon, and that the profit will bo much greater than eeuM be realized from short and long cotton at seventeen and thirty-three cents per pound.

Near Roseville, Ark. } December 4 1870. j Editor Calhoun Times : Since the -war there has been considerable emi gration among the people of the South —the tide almost invariably rolling West ward —rand I see b\|;ho arrival of Boats that this winter is likely to witness the change for many families. I see many Georgians landing here in the vain pur suit of easy made fortunes, they are usu ally left by the Boats in the mud and cold on the bank of the river, among strangers, not one of whom they have ever seen before. The cries of the sick andj’reezingTittle ones—the sad faces of care-worn mothers, is a tale T of pity that always fails to touch the hearts of the rough-natured Arkunsians. They gaze on the “ new-comer ” with hie sick family and empty purse with the most perfect indifference. They seem-to re gard his coming as a “matter of course,” and most of them are opposed to it.— They do not wish to see the country set tled up —the forests cut down and their wide range brought to a small compass; consequently tlie “new-comer” meets the “cold shoulder” rather than any en couragement from the first settlers. My object in writing this is to disa buse the minds of those of your citizens who are discontented—wish a change of residence, and who arc carried away by the too flattering raid one-sided accounts given of the far-famed West by long witided letter writers, who only give a partial description of the country, care fully avoiding the mention of the evils it possesses. would nut have the reader accuse me of being dissatisfied—far from it— for I am perfectly contented in my lit tle Arkansas home, as my letters to my own people, in your town, will show; but while I am pleased, there are a thousand Georgians around me who are sorely discontented and unable to return to the land of their nativity. 1 travelled from Georgia to this place on horseback, crossing the Mississippi river at Memphis Teun., and passing through Arkansas to the St. Francis riv er in that part of the State known as the Mississippi Swamps, thence, across the Cache avid White river countries, crossing the latter at Dos Arc. and from whence l c ame across a large country to the Arkansas river and up that stream many miles, through the Counties of Conway, Pope, Yell, Johnson and Frank lin as far as to this place, which necessa rily gave me an insight to a great por tion of this State. The bright side of the picture has the following features : Good land— the soil is rich and produces far better than Cherokee Georgia. Cotton, corn, potatoes, melons, pumpkins, turnips and all kinds of vegetables grow well. Tim ber, very fine, and of course, plentiful as as the country is thinly settled. Coal mines—the stone coal is abundantly im bedded through the country, but not worked to a valuable extent. Stock, enough to satisfy the demund.-Tof the country. Horses not as good as in Georgia, being pretty generally mixed with the Choctaw or Mustang. Cattle rather inferior, but not expensive. Hogs in abundance and of a superior quality. Game —a good many deer and turkeys, and no scarcely of ducks, squirrels and all sorts of small frame. Fish—the streams arc well supplied with almost every va riety of fresh water fish. Fruits, as fine as any country produces. In connection with the above vre have a miasmatic and ague-laden atmosphere, no good water at all, that I’ve found —many venomous reptiles and danger ous insects —a thieving, devilish, nig gardly crew of Iladieals in otlice—no churches or schools of any consequence, plenty of grog shops, fire-arms and fight ing characters. ’! lie most formidable >.f the reptiles mentioned are the “cotton mouth,” •ground,” and -‘diamond” rattle snakes, all <>f which arc deadly poisonous, and of the insects the santepede and taran tula are die worst. A description of these things would be interesting, but as I only mention them in connection with the evils of the country, will not take (he pains, nor trespass on your pa tience by giving an account of them in every particular. We have no society suited to the proper training of young people. Ilorse racing, match shooting, card-playing, ; bowling alleys, etc., are the popular I amusements of the day. The women, ; pretty generally, through tne country, j drink whiskey, swear, and chew tobac , co. The men are boisterous, fussy and i much disposed to fight. i My advice to my friends in Georgia is. if they wish to move to this country, ! ail of those who are of that notion in I one neighborhood, got together, select a man in whom they have confidence, and upon whose judgement they can rely: , send him out here to look at the coun- I try and select a location for them, if he L thinks it will uo ; hut don’t start here with barely money enough to bring you, and have yourself and suffering family put off the Boat on the bafiks of the river, among pitiless strangers. — My advice further is—although 1 should like to nee the country fill up with good people—-if you've a home in Cherokee Georgia at which you can make a com-; fort able living, stay with it, where you may have a decent burial when you die. ! 1 will just add that a gentleman res id- j ing in a promising, incorporated town in this neighborhood, and an alderman oi the same, lust a little child some time ago and to get the little one interred was abliged to go out and hire negroes to dig the grave. Another instance of the kindly feeling of our neighbors is fairly illustrated in the fact that a poCr old man lost his wife a few days ago and had to dig tier grave himself. ♦ - Very Respectfully Georoe I. A. Mr. Hill’s Address. Long Article* A oi i uaUy Read—Com ments of the IV. s.i —Analysis of the Adtlrest —Questions that Arise with Regard to it — the Popular Con no tions—Mr. Hills Address their Em bodiment. Editor Const dution : Mr. Ilili's addreso occupies a column and a half. The aversion of newspaper readers to king articles is so well known that it is hardly probable more than oue in ten will read it, the others will skip it, and adopt the editorial view The comments of the press appear very con flicting ; some approve, some disapprove; some wonder wliat it means, and surmise there is something at the bottom not seen upon its face; others construe it into a game of political sc-saw between Mr. llill and Dr. Bard. Upon the whole, great injustice has been done, and attention is asked to the following brief ANALYSIS OF MR. HILL’S ADDRESS. 1. Entered polities to aid in preserv ing Constitutional Uni< n. 2. Opposed secession, coercion and re construction ; not responsible for conse quences. 3. Results of the revolution embodied in the 13th, 14th and 14th amendments. 4. Consequences of the amendments; First, the civil and political equality of all races, l portion of the white race at the South alone being kept in bondage; second, the nationalization of the Gen eral Government. 5. The amendments having been pro claimed by the proper authority, the ju dicial department of the government can only construe The judiciary has nothing to do with making Constitu tions. and can only pass upon laws en acted under the Constitution. The Su preme Court can, therefore, give no re lief. G. The amendments may be usurpa tions, nevertheless they are law, and must be obeyed. Nearly all governments are simply successful usurpations. Jaw being nothing but power. Usurpation may be criminal; violation of established law is crime. 7. After careful consideration, the re peal of the amendments appears to be improbable for the following reasons : First, The North loves power rather than right. Second, The North hates the State’s rights doctrine Third, The North is in favor of a strong National Government. Fourth, The North regards the free dom. the civil and political equality of the negro as a great national, philan thropic and religious benefit. 8. There is then anew National Con stitution, with new and enlarged powers of government; a now system of indus try; and anew state of society. 9. Resulting duties: Ist, Obey the Constitution and the laws, and seek changes only in the legal way ; 2d, Treat the negro kindly and generously; 3d. Let the dead past alone, and unite to bring back prosperity and good feeling; 4th, Elect honest men to office. The following appear to be the only questions that can arise from a consider ation of the address: 1. Are the facts correctly or incor rectly stated ? 2. Are the inferences legitimate or false ? 3. Is Mr. Hill’s reasoning with re gard to the repeal of the amendments, or rather, are his conclusions probable or improbable. 4. Is his final conclusion, with regard to the nature of the government, true or false? 5. Is Iris advice good or bad ? The thoughtful and impartial reader can, it seems to the writer of the linos, but agrtc with Mr. Hill. These convic tions have been floating in the minds of the pec.pie for some time; have had par tial utterance here and there, and have filially assumed form and substance through the instrumentality of Mr. Hill. There is in them not the least tinge of Radicalism. Mr. liiil is only not so sanguine as some with regard to the re peal of the amendments, he may be too hopeless. Jay M. A hr. High Srmix. —A special dispatch to the New York Commercial Advertiser tells how Secretary Fish flopped his tail with great spirit info the face of a saucy nigger as follows, to wit: Washington, Dec. 16. —There is much gossip here with regard to severe snubs administered to the Haytien Min ister by Secretary Fish. The former wrote the latter a letter, protesting against the President referring, in his message, to San Domingo as the Island of San Domingo, as it infringed on a proper recognition of liayii. Mr. Fish returned the letter with a message that it was highly impertinent, as no representative of a foreign coun try had a right to officially criticise or interfere with messages of the Chief Magistrate of the United States to his own people. Wh:-n the country detects so much j blood in the gills of Secretary Fish, as ail this cornea to, the country will think herself great and safe. That negro" must have blushed till ‘he was fairly ‘stshy. One is glad to see such evidence j of a highly national spirit displayed by j the Administration in a safe direction, i The Empire of Ilayti is not likely to call the country to account for it.— Tele graph c£* Messenger. Mr. Wiley Chamblcss. of-this county, informs us that he has, this year made, from less than three-quarters of an acre of land, over four hundred gallons of fine syrup; some of the stalks yielding a half gallon of juice, each. lie says he is done with cotton growing here after.— Ame rim Rernhliran. The Wolf and the Lamb. Prussia is rc-cnacting the Fable of the Wolf and the Lamb with poor little Luxemburg—apparently determined to fasten a quarrel upon her anyhow, w hich may serve as a convenient pretext for swallowing her in the interests of “Ger man Unity.” Poor Luxemburg pro tests that she never—no, never did violate the obligations of neutrality. — Bisniark tells her she lies, and has boen acting so badly as to justify any punitory measures whatever. Russia claps Bis niark on the shoulder and says, “Go it, my boy! the charges you prefer will justify you in auiiexiug Luxemburg.— Push your quarrel. You know ire want a little land down here which don’t exactly belong to us. You annex and we’ll annex, too.” Holland, which claims jurisdiction of part of Luxemburg, grunts her dissatis faction at these proceedings, and some of the English papers have been hurl ing editorial thunderbolts at Prussia about it; but others of them admit that England is bent on keeping the peace at all hazards, and “ has already signed Her abdication ” as a great power in the European political balance. The Grand Duchy of Luxemburg lies between Rhenish Prussia and the French Department of Moselle, and is a most convenient, if not essential, adden dum to the territory the Germans mean to incorporate from France. It has an area of 2.550 square miles, and a popu lation short of half a million. If this acquisition is made, it is the beginning of a systematic deglutition of the whole of Belgium, and for a grand movement for a German frontage on the English Channel. b There seems to be little doubt that Prussia and Russia hevo a perfect un derstanding in respect to the plans of each for acquisition and aggrandize ment. None of their schemes and aspi rations clash, and, with mutual counte nance and support, they can defy the other powers of Europe. The new bal ance of power established by these gigantic empires is indeed much like the balance established by the worthy Furitan fathers of New England with the ungodly savages of Africa, Asia and tho North American coast, whereby the white trader's foot, in one balance, re presented five pounds weight in pepper, spices or furs in the other. It is an all-prevailing balance, which will weigh heavily and admit of no successful question.— J [aeon Telegraph. About the County Boards of Education. JONESIIORO. Ga., Dec. 17,1870. Editor Constitution: Your kind no tice on the subject of the election of County Boards of Education, has just been handed to me. Allow me to say, that from the little observation which I have been able to make, I am forced to the conclusi n that the fact that an election is called for by the law, is not known to a very largo portion of the people. The time is near at hand.— Will you not keep it before the people in every issue of your paper, till the day of the election ? The law has been passed ; the money of the people will go tor it; and it it is not judiciously ap plied, the people, by their neglect, may have to bhune themselves for it. This is a measure which demands immediate attention. All are interested in it.— iil the people attend to it? Good men should be elected for members of the County Boards. These County Boards should elect suitable men for County Commissioners. Let a fair ex periment be made. Men may differ as to the feasibility of the plan, but let it have a fair trial in the hands of com petent men. The people should remem ber that they have to pay for it. If it proves a success, it will bring the means ot education to very many who are now beyond the reach of it. Let the people remember that the first Saturday in January, IS7I, is the day for the elec tion of members of the County Boards, from the reading of the law, it seems to me that it may be so construed as to take the money from counties that do not make the proper effort in the matter, and give it to those that do. See sec tion 40 of the law, page 29. efi. /{t The Educational Officers Un der our Free School System.— An intelligent correspondent writes the At lanta Constitution in regard to the selec tion oi eaouty school officers, under our new free school system, as follows: u My impression is that the people of the State are sleeping over their in terests in this matter. An immense amount of money will be handled by the Educational Board. It is a matter of vital interest that it should be properly managed. Are the people aware that a few ignorant and designing men wa;/, through mere neglect on the part of the tax-payers of the county, get the control of the educational interests of the coun ty. Tills is a thing rhat comes home to the very doors —yea,- to the fireside. The propie are not prevented from managing it. Will they meet the re sponsibility of the occasion, by electing the best men in the districts, on the day appointed for the election in Janu ary ?” We indorse these timely and wise words, and urge our people to consider the matter well, and elect good men.— We shall have more to say of this. The Oneida Sufferers. —The British Minister, Sir Edward Thornton, has been advised of the remittance to his address of nearly 05,090 for the widows and orphans of the crew of the United States ship Oneida, which was sent to the bottom of the sea last Janu ary. near Yokohama, by the British steamer Bombay. This fund was con tributed by seventy British subscribers, headed by the Bight Honorable Earl of Shaftsbiuy. the Earl of Clarendon, and the Rothschilds, and has been sent to Sir Edward Thornton for distribution. He will appropriate it on application made to him by partied interested. — Colonel AY, 11. Stansell, of Warren ton. formerly of Dalton is dead- ENGLAND. London, December 16—At the meeting yesterday, the Cabinet consid ered the Luxemburg question and came to the conclusion not to take any steps to prevent Prussia occupying the terri tory, reserving for further consideration the stops to be taken in case of a forci ble annexation. The opinion strength ens that Prussia will tuke Luxemburg and Holland instead of Alsace and Lor raine, and that the war will end with the rest 'Tartion of the. Empire. London, Dee. 20. —A Berlin special says the conference representatives of the neutral powers have agreed to the following peace basis: 1. Acquiescence in the annexation of Luxemburg. 2. The recognition of the German Empire. 3. Indemnity from France to Ger many of twelve hundred millions of francs, razing of two fortresses on the German frontier, and the cession of a portion of Alsace. There has been no fighting around Paris since the first of December. Prince William, of Baden, was wound ed in the capture of Nuits. John Bright has resigned the Presi dency of the Board of Trade. The Telegraph has a special from Brussels, saying the late heavy calls for the Landwchr, denotes weakness in the beseiging forces, and its operations are more defensive than offensive. One or two stories like that of last, night, and the siege of Paris will be raised. A dispatch from Frankfort says it will be a month before the bombardment is possible, the German guns before Par is being worthless for such a purpose,' while Versa';fes itself is nearly within range of the French guns. ITALY. Home. December 21.—-The ministe rial project of guaranteeing independ ence to the Holy Sea, covers' twenty points, viz : The Pope’s personal inviolability ; re tention of the Palace Guards; three quarters of a million Here annually, for guard and civil list ; Papal residences, the Vatican, Santa Maria, Maggiore, in Home, and Castle Gandolfo, in the coun try. free from taxation, and ordinary ju risdiction in the State; the locality oc cupied by the General Council and the church to enj» y >h • same immunities.

"V ick.skuro, December 21.—-The Nick Wall, from St. Louis for Vicks burg. struck a snug on Sunday night at Brand Lake; the cabin fell in and float ed four miles; is a total loss; the hull is tied up. Many killed in landing; freight badly damaged. One hundred and twenty.five deck and fifteen cabin passengers were on board. Seventeen dead bodies have been recovered and many others supposed lost; Charlie Mc- Clure drowned, NORTH CAROLINA. Rayleigh, Dec. 2t).—To-day at 11 o'clock the Board of Managers appoint ed by the House to conduct the impeach ment of Gov. Holden, attended by tire Speaker and the House of Representa tives, proceeded to the bar of the Sen ate and formally submitted the articles of impeachment. After the conclusion of the ceremo nies, the Lieutenant Governor vacated his seat as President of the Senate, and shortly afte wards took charge of the Executive office. Gov. Ilolden made no opposition to surrendering the office. The Court of impeachment will convene as soon as Chief Justice Pearson can ar rive in the-city. By confession of a dying negro it has been ascertained' that all the barn-burn ing and depredations committed in thi.- and the adjoining counties, for the past year, was the result of a planned con spiracy on the part of negroes of* the l nion League. Forty names are in pos session of authorities. Some arrests have been made, and officers arc in hot pursuit of others. The Collision at Sea. —The col lision between the Steam ships Isaac Bell, of the Norfolk, and Champion, of the Charleston, line occurred between Sandy Hook and Barr.egnt, Monday night. The fug was dense and the steamers were slowed down to half time blowing their whistles occasionally.— When they discovered each other there was time only for a htfcrse*shout and a rush, and they came together with tre mendous force. Fortunately only one man was killed. The World says: Some of the effects of the encounter on the Isaac Bell are really remarkable. Great beams and knees of s«did oak are sprung and splintered as if they were small sticks of softest pine. Masses of iron are wrapped and twisted like so much pewter might been. The heavy ; walking beam is bent, the strong com bings in the engine room snapped and the iron panels doubled on each other like the joints of a telescope. The pad dle-wheel is a tangled heap of scraps, and the box that covered it is gone en tirely. The ship is a very stout one. or she would have been cut through and undoubtedly sunk. Milledgeville.— Three election managers were arreatod and imprisoned at Sparta for receiving illegal votes.— In a personal altercation Dr. Brown was knocked down by Judge Linton Ste phens. Home. —Democrats three to one ahead. Many negroes voting Demo cratic. Beast Bctlkr for President.— General Butler, on his way to Washing ton, spent a day in New York. An intelligent correspondent says: He was closeted the greater part of the day with a number of prominent politicians with reference, it is under stood, to such future arrangements a* will bring him before the country as a Presidential candidate on the Alabama claims platform, strengthened by a Oanada annexHtion plank, and possibly by another favoring the absorption of Mexico. As 1 wrote a tew days ago, this idea will take form and substance at a public meeting to be held here as soon as the gentleman from Massachusetts names the time. To the above it may be added that stops have been taken iu the South to give certain States to General Butler in the next nationol convention, and his friends profess that they are receiving much encouragement. —PittsLuy Com mercial!.
