Prejudice
la looking over a FrviicU periodical a day or two
ago, we came across the following extract front the
letters c*f Fenoloa to the Duke of Bourgogne. We
"ranslate it for the Press, because we like it so
'veil:
“ Above all tilings, guard against prejudice. It
ban enemy you carry with you every where, oven
to your grave. It will be a'spy in your most secret
»wi«<els, and will betray you if you listen to it.
“ihvjudico will prevent your embracing the
trrast iiajxstaut oj»jyjrtunitiea, It gives you iueliua
tious and aversions from iniaucy, destructive of
.ur best interests. It makes you rash in deciding
sue most important mat tors, with the least shadow
<>f reason. It obscures vour talent, .jutralyses vour
courage, destroys vonr equanimity, and makes you
' tr.bci.ilc, despicable, and intolerable,
Mr. Knight’s Senium,
. We have never listen.si to a sermon delivered
widi more unction and power than that preached
hr the Rev. John Knight, several sabbaths ago,
from the text, “ For God hath not appointed us
unto wrath.’ 1 " While wo could not agree with the
reverend divine iu every thing he said, yet we are
prepared to admit that he displayed as much abili
a-ul fervid, native eloquence, iu maintaining l»is
'cause, as we ever heard fall from the lips of any
man engaged upon the same theme. HU reason
ing was fair, his logic correct, (admitting his premises)
iiis convictions honest, his language glowing and
eloquent. lie surpassed himself.
Mr. Knight has the first great element of do
me nee—honesty of heart. Then ho has stormy
passions—brought into subjection, of course, hut
'nevertheless stormy, lie says he is no scholar, and
has no polish about him. We add, lie has force,
of which polish is too often destructive. Hence
polish can be dispensed with, especially when vigor
must yield to it.
Mr. Knight preached on the occasion we speak
of with emphasis, or with what is sometimes called
rim. His words went home like thunderbolts.
They fell like lightning upor the gnarled oak. You
might see the storm gathering, like, clouds, upon
his brow—his eye flashed—his lif^uivered —his
tail gaunt form towered ■
"In shape and gesture proudly eminent, ’’ —
and then came the crash in words that breathed
rand thoughts that burned. For nearly two hours
.he preached, and still his congregation were willing
.and anxious to hear more. Take him altogether,
-we think there is no minister in Georgia who can
preach with more power than Mr. Knight, when
properly aroused.
Tin's Reverend gentleman lias preached iu this
county for the last two years, and according to a
rule in the Methodist discipline, he will have to
leave us. another year. The whole community
-will part with him witii regret, and those for
-whom he goes to preach next year will be favored
with an honest, able, and zealous minister.
The Mails in Eatonton-
We have a daily mail line here, by stage, from
Madison, and one by Rail Road from
Hut the mail facilities are not more than half as
great as the means would justify. The stage and
the cars both get hero about the time our people
are going to dinner, and they both lcavo just
about the time our people finish their dinners.
Persons here frequently get letters with the request
t j answer by return maiL But there is no such
thing as doing so, unless they fast —to say noth
kg of praying—and then are very fast , besides.
For by the time they can read their letters, the
ears and .stage are off again. And even if they
have time to write answers, the mails are closed,
and they cannot get their letters in. By the way,
are uot the mails closed here before they are allow
ed bylaw to be closed?
If we have a daily stage, let us have its advan
tages. And above all things, if we have a Rail
Road, let us have the facilities which may be so-*
* ;red by a Rail Road. Our people here have been
taxed l.c&rilv to build it—they get no interest on
• heir money—let them at least have it run in such
i way that if they get no money, they may reap
its fullest in - mail and freight trans :
rx.nation.
Wilkes Republican.
Wo do, brother .Sneed, most heartily; and did’nt
mean any thing by it, from the beginning—only to
plead it as an offset: and as you have dismissed
yc/.ir suit, wo withdraw our plea. Wo will tako a
drink (of water) the first time wo meet.
Have We Any Mails ?
It seems to be useless to complain of the irregu
larities in tlie mails, so for a/having these irregu.
Jarities corrected is concerned. Still, as regards us
individually, wo wish our subscribers abroad to un
derstand that it is not our fault that they do not
get their papers regularly. They are regularly
mailed here, and the. difficulty is on the way some
where. Take Atlanta, for instance: A subscriber
in that place, told us a few days ago that lie fre
quently got two of our papers a L a time; one for
tho current week, and one for the week before,
having failed to get the one for the week before
ix t the proper time. Here it is plain, the Press
must rest a week at some Post Office, through the
neglect of the Post Mastsr. Is it at Madison?
Tho above, so far as regards our crt/i paper.
And now about the papers which come to this
place, via Augusta and Madison, AY e have not
known a single week this year, that we now recol
lect, in which tho papers north of this, came to
their subscribers regularly. There are merchants
and business men here, who pay their money for
daily paper* in Augusta, Charleston, and, perhaps
b'ew York- It is to their interest to get tlteso pa
jK:rs regularly, but to all intents aud purposes
they |re little better than weeklies, with the addi-,
tjon on tho debit side, of the vexation of p./ing'
for a daily paper, expecting U/jfet it, and being al-,
most dailv disappointed. Me have been trying to
get tho New York Jisraltt dailv, and having daily
communication— except Sundays—with Augusta,
wbertT the Southern mail is distributed, we had a
right to expect it liut we never get our Herald
without getting threo or four at a time. We can
not even get our daily Atlanta. Intelligencer regu
larly. Now, wo presume that the Post Masters in'
fault care very little about those inconveniences to
tho people of Katonton. But wo can. tell them
one thing; there are some of us hgre who are de
tormined to ferret out where tho fault lies, and re
port the delinquent or delinquents to thoßost Mas
tor General, and see whether or not fie # “PP’Y

Great Cropping tor 1854, in
Cobb County. —Mr. Josiuh M. Dan,-
iel, who resides about six miles south
of Marietta, in Cobb county, has raised
jdn twelve acres, of what is commonly
called branch bottom laud, the amount
of two®: hundred barrels, one bushel
and one pack of corn this Tear.- —
lie measured the best acre, which
yielded one hundred bushels, but the
twelve acres only-averaged eighty-three
bushels and one peek per acre. This
land was originally considered of no
value, being nothing'hut soft mud and
cow mires, but after being ditched, be
came dry and soft, and is the most
beautiful and easy land to cultivate
of anv in the country. And for the
proof the above statement as to the
yield of said land, the following certifi
cate is .appended, viz:
We, the undersigned, do certify that
we saw and attended the measuring off
of one acre of the land, above men
tioned, and it measured one hundred
bushels, three peeks and three quarts
of corn.

We would add that this is truly great
cropping, considering that we liAd a
douglit of three months* in the midst
of crop time, this year—sufficient in
ducement we would think, at least to
set all the farmers to clearing and
ditching their bottom lands.— Cherohee

Mr. William R. Jackson, of Balti

We notice that in consequence of
the high rates of paper, the newspapers
iQ various sections of the country are

cents per week ; the Toledo (Ohio,)

A Mischievous Parrot. —in bos
tofi a parrot that, was kept aboard a

the drays that came to leave goods on
the wharf. One day the driver of a
dray left his team and went down in
to the cabin of the ship. The parrot
watched him, and when he was out of
sight began to imitate his talk to the
horses. ‘ Whoah ! back, there—back,
1 say !’ exclaimed the bird. The hors
es backed ; and the parrot encouraged
bv the success of his experiment con
tinued to scream ‘ Back ! back, I say !’
until the team backed over the wharf

was drowned.

ther Capt. Young, is at present an affa
ble, polite old gentleman, plain but
neat in his attire, and of a prepossess
ing address and demenaor. He is
highly social in disposition, gracefully
winning the admiration of all who seek
his hospitality, which is cheerfully ex
tended to all who visit him, whether
influenced by curiosity, by respect for
the man, or by an ambition which as
pires to form the acquaintance of so no

I did not call on “ Simon,” my curi

the “ fellow,” —the robber—mistook
him for an individual who carried a lit

1. It is manufactured ...at .-Schiedam, in Ilollamlj
and exclusively in the factory of the proprietor, by
processes and Troth materials elsewhere unemployed
and unknown,,, • : - A ..
2. It is proved, bv the repented analysis of several
eminent chemists, to be entirely free from the per
nicious fusil 611 which rmhaius in every kind of
Liquor distilled from grain, attd which is the cause
of the nervous and v isceral dttfiingbment, serious
congestion, nnd mordid desire for habitual and in
temperate mdulgenco, which such liquors invariab
ly tend to superinduce.
‘y. It is proved, by the same unerring test, that
this Juniper Gin is'not flavored'with the coarse,
acrid and indigestihie oil of ,juniper heretofore used,
brir with the specifically lighter, more volatile, aro
matic and medicinal of the two essential oils of the
Italian juniper berry, neglected by every other liian
ufiletnr'er.
4. It is ebemically proved to be absolutely pure
in its rectification--u quality obtuined by an entire
ly new process, and which no other Holland Gin in
the world has acquired.
5. It is proved by- extensive medical experience
and testimony, to bo an efficient as well as an agree
able remedy in many cases ofineipient dropsy, grav
el, gout, qhronic rheumatism, flatulence, colic, con
cretions in tho kidneys and bladder, dyspepsia,
fever and ague, general debility, sluggish circula
tion of the blood, deficient assimilation of food and
exhausted vital energy.
<5. It is u most grateful and renovating cor
dial and when used as directed, never inflames
the system or induces inebriety, bfit tends "rather to
subdue the latter frailty, by creating a dislike to
all inferior liquors. Aiid it invariably corrects the
ill effects of bad water, whether in swampy or
limestone districts. In all of these enumerated
qualities it has no rival in any market in the
world.
