ATT DEDGDNI

Who have relations buried at Zion Hill
Meeting House, are respectfully requested to
meet there on Saturday, the 18th day of Jan.
uary. at IL o'clock. The object of the meet.
ing is to raise funds to enclose the Grave
Yard.
Atraveler once remarked that he could tell
whether community was savage or civilized
by examining their grave yards--thnt savages
paid no attention to the graves Of their dead;
whilst civilized community enclosed their
grave yards, procured tombstones, and adorn.
ed their graves with flowers and evergreens.
Judged by this rule livery much fear that
the community around Zion Hill would be
considered savages. At any rate, our grave
yard is in shameful and disgraceful state Of
neglect-rooted up by hogs and trodden over
by cattle Then let us retrieve our charac
ters by punctual attendance at Zion Hill on
Saturday, the 18th Of January, resolved to
raise sufficient funds to enclose our grave
yard in n neat. handsome and durable style.

WHAT RICHARDSON THINKs.-It appears that
Mr.. Richardson, the nominee of the Jorty.eight
for Speaker, holds to the Northern construc
ton of the Kansas. IN ebraska bill. The Wash
ington Organ, of the 2lst inst, states his pc.
stion thus:
ut is well known that Mr. Richardson has
justified his support of the Kansas N ebraska
bill on the ground that the bill would make
Kansas and Nebraska, and all other Terrific
ries hereafter organized in accordance with
the principles Of the Kansas ebraska bill,
FREE TERRITORY This is the ground upon
which he defended himself during the last
Congressional election in the State of Illinois,
and the press which advocated his re election
defended him on the same ground, and boldly
asserted that the course Of Mr. Richardson
was in accordance with the wishes of the
people of the free States, because the Kansas
and Nebraska bill would make these terrific
ries free"

WHEN TO WEAR INDIA RUDBERs-We
have noticed that many persons in our city
wear india rubber overshoes in cold dry
weather, to keep their feet warm. This is an
injurious and evil practice. India rubber shoes
are very comfortable and valuable for cover
ing the feet during wet, sloppy weather, but
they should never be worn on any other &C.
cason; their sole use should be to keep out
water. They should therefore be put off
whenever the wearer enters house, and be
worn as little as possible, because they are
air tight, and both retain and restrain the
perspration of the feet. The air cannot be
excluded from them, or nom any other portion
of the body, for any length Of time, without
sensibly affecting the health. 1t is our opin.
ion, that no habit tends more to good health
than clean feet and clean dry stockings, SO as
to allow the free perspiration Of the neither
extremities.

IIoRnIBLE TRAGEDy.-The Atlanta Intelli-
gencer says: zone Of the most horrible and
distressing tragedies which it has ever been
cur lot to record, or which perhaps has ever
met the public ear, occurred in our city on
the night or the 24th, or the morning of the
25th inst. When the 4 o'clock train on the
Macon d. Western ralroad arrived at East
Point, on Christmas morning the body Of a
person was found on the COW catchers hdying
been dragged tie entire distance from Atlantic
sir miles-in this manner. The body was SO
mutiated, in fact literally torn in pieces
the fragments scattered along the whole dis
tanee-as to defy Identification. From frag-
ments of clothing however, found attached
to the body, it is rendered almost certain
that the deceased was ,on of Col. Amos W.
Hammond, of this city. The young man wa,
seen on the night of the cath, in company
with others Of the same age, in the vicinity
of the Macon d Western railroad, and has
not since been heard Of There is a suspicion
ahoat, that lie was murdered in an ARRAY by
his companions, and afterwards laid upon the
track. We have not heard the evidence to
point. The matter is now undergoing inves
tigation before the coroner.

Some Of the Know Nothing constituents
of the Representative in Congress from the

been holding meeting to endorse his con.
duet in the Speaker controversy. Resolutions
were adopted declaring that the determined

OF Mr.Fuller for Speaker ofthc House meets
with their decided appreciation. and they
trust that the principle exhibited may be
maintained. The meeting also took occasion
TO hail the twelfth section of the Philadelphia

which our Union of States will be securely
protected from the invasion of foreign enc.
ynies and the nroads Of domestic sediton.-
The value of this endorsement would be

TOUCHING THAT WALL STREET HOG.
From the N. Y. Mirror1

tFrom the N. Y. Mirror.J
Since the Mirrors passing allusion, the 9th
er day, to that Wall Street Hog, we have had
frequent calls for fuller description Of the
animal Almost every person we meet seems
TO have had some personal acquaintance with
the dirty beast, and Is anxious H. compare
notes" In fact, the brute is so generally
known, we are inclined to believe that, in.
stead Of one there is legion of these ''crit.
tiers" Of whom the devil took possession some
score Of centuries ago. But faithful por.
trait Of one would be fair likeness of all;
and to "do the subject justice" we should
want to borrow quill from the "fretful por.
cupine."
The particular hog that we have in our
minds eye is very fat one. BY fat we mean
rich. lie is one of those selfish fellows that
always put their feet in the trough aud man.
age to get a double share of the swill. lie
has made his money by what is called mote
shaving" graduating the depth of the cut by
the necessities of his victim. lie has keen
eye, sharp, not brilliant; and can tell at a
glance the degree of anguish the applicant is
suffering, and the rate Of per centage his
agonies will bear.
During these stringent times in the money
market his greedy gizzard has gloated over a
QUARTER PER CENT A DAY, which is one dollar
for the loan of one hundred doll ars for four
days; or nearly one hundred dollars year
for the use of one hundred dollars for tho
same time-cent per cent. friend of ours
has been entirely eaten up in this way by the
Hog in question within The last five. or six
years; and now that there is no more blood
or juice in the victim, the very bones are
shouted over insultingly apd a determination
manifested to hold the lifeess carcass by pro.
cess of law.
And yet this Hog is biped in human shape,
whom the nomenclature of natural history
compels us to call man. lie wears fine clothes,
lives in splendid palace, and mocks Heaven
with his loud "Amens' in splendid church.
lie is past fifty years Of age, and within,
probably, twenty five years, ut furthest. Of
being screwed up in small box and hid away
from the light of day to all eternity. Aud
yet success in the pursuit of money, regard
less of any means not in open violation of the
civil law, enables him to prosecute and pros.
ecute his victims with the most fiendish vim.
dictiveness.
1t is such heartless, soulless, devlish hum an
Hogs as this that reconcile one to the old or.
thodox belief in hell as "divine institution"
Unless these diabolcal demons catch retri.
butve roasting hereafter, there scarcely can
be no such thing as equity in the administra-
ton of the Universe.

PREslDENr's Power IN ENroRcISG THE
LAws-By the law of March Sd, 1907, the
President is empowered, in all cases where
lie is authorized TO call forth the militia "for
the purpose Of causing the laws to be duly
executed" also to "employ for the same pur-
pose such part o: the land or naval force of
the United States MS shall be judged ncccssa-
ry." In no case where the laws of the Uni.
ted States are obstructed is the President di-
rcctcd TO wait for the requsition of the Gov
crnor or any body else. AS soon MS the mat.
ter comes to his knowledge, no matter by
what means or through what channel, he is
bound to use the legal means of suppressing
the disorder. When the laws of State are
obstructed it is true that the President can
only interfere with the land or naval force Of
the United States ut the special request of
the Governor Of that State: but when the
laws of the Federal Government are to
be enforced no such preliminary is neces-
Sary.

On asking the foreman il there was any pros.

ton that there was none whatever. One OF
the jurors, named Spencer Cooper, was Sc.
verely reprinanded by the Judge for handing

counsel in the case, requesting him to pay
attention to portion of the testimony, the
judge intiInating his intention to place the
matter in the hands OF the prosecuting altor.

Grand Jury hereafter. The jury were then
discharged. They stood, according to gen.
era report, founded on good authority, eight
for acquitta, and four for conviction.

to Daniel Ullman, of New York, gives the
reader Mr.. Clay's opinion of Willard Fillmore,
one OF the purest statesmen our country has
produced:
WASHINGTON, March 6, 1859.
MY DEAR Sir: You rightly understand me
IN eXpressinga preference for Mr.. Fillmore ns
the WING candidate for the Presidency. This
did beime left home, and have frequently
mere IN private intercourse, since my arrival
at washington. | care not how generally
the Tact my be known, but | should not
deem right to publish any formal avowal of
that preference under my own signature in
the newspapers. Such n course would SUBJ
Ject me to the impuialion of surprising that
my opinions possessed moro weight with the
public than apprrhcnd they do. The ioun.
dalton OF my preference is, that Mr.. Fillmore
Inns administered the Executive Government
win signal success and ability. H. has been
tried and found true, faithful, honest and con.
scicntious. | wish to say nothing in deroga-
.ion from his eminent competitors; they have
noth rendered great services 10 their country;
lhe one IN the field, the other in the Cabinet.
they might possibly administer the Govern.
lnent us well MS MIR. Fillmore has done. But
Then neither OF them has been tried in the
elevated position he now holds and | think
That prudence and wisdom had het,rr restrain

TRUE.-People who suppose that good
prayer is preferred to good act doubtless
imagine that God has more herang than eye.
sight. The end, we fear, will show that they
reasoned from false premises. The poor are
oftener prayed for than helped. The reason
is, we believe, that breath is cheaper than
bullion.
