Gcucrai Sherman as part OF an an.

have no doubt whatever that very,

were never a very fhe class of peo-

presence in the late inSurrectionary
States affords no proper excuse for
acts Of aWlesBness. "

with the revival OF the Fall
and Winter trade r. w. Phil
lips takes the usual method of
congratulating his friends and
customers on the more encour-
aging auspices Of the season
seemed to indicate. The un,
usually pleasant Fall weather
has been so favorable for the
opening and gathering of the
crops, that it has exceeded in
amount and quality the most
Sangulne expectations. This,
together with the considerable
reduction in last seasons quo
tations in GROCERIES and STA
Pile GOODS, will place our plant
ing friends in a much better
condition than was anticipated,
and enables then to be less re-
Stricted in their purchases.
Recognizing this fact, r. w.
Phillips has selected his large
stock especially to meet the
wants of his Patrons, and has
his personal attention to
the Markets, buying principal
ly for cash, and at lower rates
than are extended to credit
purchasers. In STAPLE DRY

THE STATE ROAD.

A correspondent Of the Atlanta
intelligencer says: "'ln your last
issue, noticed that Gov. Brown had
paid into the Treasury $4,000, the
amount due from the State Road for
the month of March. With all of
the opposition that has been mani
tested, by the opponents Of the lease,
irmust be apparent to every honest,
candid man, that at no period since
its construction, has the State reap
ed larger benefits over and above
expenses, than at the present time.
And ! am proud to add, that my
honest conviction is, that under the
judicious management of its able
and efficient President, the Road
will be kept, with all of its equip
ments, in a better condition than at
any other period, and the people Of
Georgia reap the benefits of $780,
900 annually paid into the Treasury,
almost sufficient sum to pay ar
economical administration Of the
Government. This amount togeth-
or with the resources arising from
other directions ought TO relieve our
over-burdened people, to great ex-
tent from taxation. These facts, to-
gether with many others which
might be mentioned, cannot fail in
arresting the attention Of the people
of Georgia in favor of the lease and
the substantial company who now
have possession of the Road. If nc
other objection could be urged, the
fact that heretofore it has been made
a great political machine through
which partizan organizations were
kept up and sustained, is one Of
huge proportions, and very detri'
mental to the great interest of the
people of Georgia. This objection
no longer exists. Under the pru'
dent and wise discrimination Of the
President, men are selected as oper-
atives not for party predictions, but
for their capacity and well-knowr
honesty and temperate habits. A
course of this kind has perhaps plac'
cd upon the Road the most superior
conductors and engineers Of any
other road in the South. This fac
of itself should insure the confidence
of the travelling public, and place
them beyond any fears as to theil
safety while passing over the West
ern and Atlantic Railroad"

COMING BACK.

Prominent republicans have taken
the alarm and refuse Ito accept the
situation" Ex-Secretary Wells Of
Lincoln's administration says in a
letter;
II have no respect for those who
claim that it is necessary for Massa
chusetts or for others to supervise
Virginia and to take care of the pco-
pie of that and other States in their
local concerns. Ifthe people are in
capable of self-government, our sys
TEN is a failure. If the people of the
States respectively cannot make and
execute their own laws, but are to
be governed and controlled in their
local, municipal affairs by central
power, then American Democracy
and American Republicanism are
mere shams and decisions. The I'm
ion of these States can be preserved
only by maintaining the reserved and
guaranteed rights of the States"

Times TO CONE. cannot
exactly understand how a woman in
trance can prophecy, yet one is
reported to have made the following
predictions while under the spell, in
Louisville, Ky, last week. She
predicted wet spring, a hot dry
summer, and a dreadful epidemic Of
some new and fatal sickness, which
will inevitably carry off all attacked,
and cause the people to fall like au-
tumn leaves before its dreadful walk.
All attacked will die inevitably, and
in a few hours. There is to be
another European war in 1872, to
which the recent conflicts will be a
mere circumstance. Nothing so
dreadful as this was has ever known
on earth.

NOTES ON PASSING EVENTS.
Mr.. Sumner, who was first made
famous by the brutality of Brooks
and who has since grown great
through successful fanaticism, deIiv-

international law in its efforts to ac-
complish the acquisition of St. Do
mingo. The counts in the indict-
ment are we'll sustained and it may
be true; but it is only an issue be-
tween the President and Congress.
What interest have tho people in
controversy between two depart
ments of the government each claim
ing the right to usurp power at dis
erection and how ridiculous in Mr..
Sumner, after having ruled the
South by uSurpation, to complain of
the Executive for exercising his dis
erection in the same way. Sensible
people foresaw that when radicalism
commenced its career Of usurpative
revolution it would eliminate in a
brief contest between the Legisla-
tive and Executive departments Of
the government and that the former
would finally share the fate of Crom-
Wells Parliament.
There is but one possible mode Of
righting this thing, and that is bare
ly possible. This is by an appeal
to the people through the national
democracy on the broad and vita
issue Of Constitutional government
and it is barely possible from thc
fact-lst., that policy democrats

There is another cause, lying far
ther back and which possibly has
predetermined this result. Popu-
lar suffrage is now depraved-de-
graded, corrupt--and nothing but COR
ruption can grow out oft. A.change
it may be is unavoidable and disor-
der at the South and divisions in the
democratic party may be only har-
bingers Of the inevitable. We hope
for the better-for the restoration of
Constitutional liberty but we must
not shut our eyes to the possibilities
which environ the situation.

a minute of the last regular meeting
of that body, and in their behalf re.
quest the publication of the same
The Secretary takes pleasure in
complying with the instructions, in
the light of the following reasons:
LIST. The Society, is of itself, as an
organization, doing much good in
this section. 2nd, 1t is believed
that an occasional note setting forth
the fact of its practical workings
and efectually for good, will have
an influence for good to the extent
its circulation. Bird. The Society
is composed of sound material-oi
bone and sincw-who in their UNI
selfish appreciation of benefits re-
ceived, exhibit that generosity SUIT
ficient to desire to extend to their
neighbors who may be behind in
such enterprises. We are aware
that minutes are generally dry
lacking that enthusiasm that ''hows
the soul" of active participants
Yet this account of actual business
may direct the practical minds of
farmers to a more thorough appre-
ton of the value of such organiza
tons. Our membership is compos-
ed of entcrprising citizens of benev-
client design-many of whom make
it a duty of scrupulous observance
to perpetuate the meetings by regu-
lar attendance just so long as good
results. The young men of the
country are earnestly solicited by
unanimous resolution to associate
with us, to the end that they may
in conference with the experienced,
learn knowledge, and in sober
communion receive the mantle of
wisdom for future power, in sustain
ing and improving the institutions
of the land. We want to dignity,
beautify and extend the calling, I'M
til farming shall occupy that rank
among the sciences that its prime
import demands. We want TO make
it more truly an intellectual pursuit,
that 'feasts Of reason may cheer the
mind, tighten the toll and direct the
labors of the husbandman. When
this shall be attained, the country
may then look in hope to the rural
districts for their quota of public
benefactors. Farms will then more
generally furnish men of minds
men, who moved with the spirit of
by gone days will work wOndrous,
salutary changes in the institutions
of State, hallowed with the memory
of Washington, now desecrated and
profancd in shameless degeneracy.
The Society met, pursuant to adj
journment April LIST, and was called
to order at 3 P. NJ, by President Nc

what is due us and considerable amount Of
trouble, and then don't collect anything after
waiting patiently, is the reason why we adopt
this plan. Some get offended because we ask
them for money when due us. We think inst
