Committee, &C.:
GENTLEMEN have your kind
letter informing me the Democracy
of Cobb county have appointed the
25th day Of Oct, for the purpose Of
holding an old fashioned mass meet
ing and barbecue and you say thai
Democrats of all shades will be in
vited and free discussion expected
and that you are instructed to invite
me to be present and participate in
the discussion.
1t will afford me very great pleas
ure, if in my power at the time, tc
attend you@meeting and contribute
my humble mite to the success OF
the Greeley and Brown ticket
For the reasons lately given to the
public in my letter to the Hon. joint
|. Hall, an unable to see why pglV
sons calling themselves Democrats
and those calling themselves Liberal
Republicans, who stand upon the
same platform and support the same
candidates, should not unite and act
together for the future.
The overwhelming majority given
by the State yesterday to the Gree
lev and Brown candidates for Gov
ernor and members of the Legisla-
ture, is victory of which the peo-
pie of our noble old State may well
be proud. 1t will show to the people
of the Northern Statec that Georgia,
which still justly claims the tile OF
the Empire State of the South, will
maintain now and in the future the
doctrines of republican liberty of &C
quiescence in the results of the wal
and of good government in future
and will oppose all attempts to cen
tralize the powers belonging to the
States in the Federal government
and thereby destroy State rights
and local State government.
Wishing the people of your coun-
ty much success and prosperity and
each of you Individually future suc>

A SAD CASE OF SUICIDE.

A Young woman drowned herself

Alice Blanche Oswald, and she was
within few days of completing her
twentieth year. At the inquest on
her body the following letter was
put in and read:

DEPEND UPON YouRsELF.

The success of individuals in life
is greatly owing to their learning
early to depend upon their own re-
sources. Money, or the expectation
of it by inheritance, has ruined more
men than the want of it ever did.
Teach the young men to rely on
their own efforts, to be frugal and
industrious, and you have furnished
them with productive capital which
others cannot wrest from them, and
which they themselves will be dis
posed to retain. This is peculiarly
the case in this country, where every
man must be the artiticer Of his own
fortuhc--@ where the road to wealth
and honor is open TO all--and where
those who win must labor for the
prize.
Everett has well said, that ''the
times, as well as universal expert
ence abnndantly sdmonish, that how
ever the children of wealth may in
dulge in Incidence and dissipation
while thair means last-the great
mass of America must and ought to
depend upon their labor for their for
tunes and their usefulness. For.
tune is at best neutrality-suspicious.
NAL independence is uncertain--and
reliance upon the friendship or
charity OF the world, or upon office,
is frail and debasing. Self indie
pendence is the only sure stay. We
are ever willing to help those who
help themselves.
Productive labor is the legitimate
source of wealth, individual or ma
tional--and labor is profitable to the
individual and to the nation, in pro-
portion to the measure of intelligence
and scientific knowledge which
guides and directs its operations
Hence it is of primary importance
that our youth should be effectually
taught to labor, and that our minds
should be early imbued with that
kind Of knowledge which will in
struct them in the principles of their
business, render it honorable, and
make them independent in their
minds and in fortune"

SOCIETY.

The pleasures of society depend
more upon females than others.
Gentlemen expect to been tertained,
children are out of the question, and
therefore it rests upon women what
society shall be. The pleasure Of
an evenings entertainment is grad
uated by the capacity of the hostess
to interest her visitors in each other
and make them forget their own
identity, or to be lost in the effort to
make every one at ease. That is
the secret of true enjoyment. Some
ladies will enter drawing room or
a social circle, where every one ap.
pears like an iceberg, and the at
mosphere is chilly and constrained,
and by their genial nature and we'll
time playfulness throw sunshine and
warmth all over the room, till all
commingle in@hat easy yet dignifed
cordially, that ever characterizes
true gentility. AS lady aptly ex-
pressed it, the hostess is the key
note, and upon her depends the con-
cord of sweet sounds and their sweet
est melody.

A WORD FoR THE WIFE.

There is much good sense and
truth in the remark of modern au-
thor, that no man ever prospered in
this world without the cooperation
Of his wife. If she unites in mutual
endeavors, or rewards his labor with
what confidence will he repair to his
merchandise, or his farm fly over
land, sail over seas, meet difficulty,
encounter. danger, if he only knows
that he is not spending his strength
in win, but that his labor will be re-
wardcd by the sweets Of home
Solitude and disappointment enter
the history of every mans life; and
he is but half provided for his voy-
age who finds but an associate for
his happy hours, while for moments
of darkness no sympathizing partner
is prepared.
