report that is being circulated

sire to make notoriety or appear IN

ers, as we'll as myself, demand that
so willful end malicious lie should

Brown had written me letter threat
ening to discharge me from the SER
vice Of his company should | contin
ne to persist in supporting DIR. Eel
ton miserable lie as baseless az
the fabric of vision. Gov. Brown
never has, directly or indirectly, by
threat or promise, by himself OF
agents, intimated to me what my
course 10 the present or any other
political contest should be. The
whole thing is a willful, malicious
fabrication or else emanated from a
disc ased and crazy imagination. A
few days since ! received a letter or
two from Gov. Browns Office, the
contents Of which was in reference
to the settlement of a claim OF dams

10 the strongest terms the means that
were being used to make fuse I'M
preston upon the minds of the peo-
ole in reference to the lease of the
w. &c A. Railroad. The above cir
cumstance was the material out of
which the base dirty lie was fabrica'
ted. trust this will meet the eye
of the author Of the vile cowardly
lie. If so | desire that he or they
understand that this is addressed di-
rectly to him or them.

(Mr. Kendrick is an honest man
and acts from conviction Of duty,
but it seems to as if he can denounce
"publicly" the "false impression"
made upon the minds of the people
about the 'lease," he should surely
denounce the man that made that
''faIse impression" DR.. FELTON, is
the first man who put that 'JatSe i'm
preston" 10 circulation and a
''faIse impression" all ,ut the "lease''
is equal in guilt to the "false i'm
preston" attempted to be made
about Gov. Brown threatening to
discharge you, which you character
ize in the severest language as
"malicious lie." Then how can you
vote for DR.. FELTON, who is the orig
inator of the "false impression"
about the lease 7 Think of this
matter between now and the fifth Of
November, and we believe you will
vote for Geo. N. Lester, who is try
ing to correct this "faloe impression"
about the lease that you "publicIy

CARD FROM JUDGE LESTER,

In your issue Of the 3rd inst, you
say that Judge Lester was a tax
eatherer or receiver in Cobb county
to your knowledge. If by this, you
mean that | held such an office, you
are in error, for such was not the
case. You publish receipt pur"
porting to have been signed by me,
to Miranda Cox, for twenty bushels
of corn, being part of the tax in
kind due from him to the govern
ment of the Confederate States, and
delivered to me en- the 9th of jan
uary, 1864 You also state that
twenty bushels of corn was likewise
delivered to. Judge Irwin by Mr..
Cox. You add at the end of the edi
toriaI that you hope | will explain.
| now crafty your expressed hope
by saying, that Judge Irwin and my
self purchased in Southwest Georgia
a lot of corn from Rev. Charles NJ.
Irwin for our own use, and as favor
and matter of convenience to all the
parties, allowed the officers of the
Confederate government to use the
corn, they agreeing to have a like
amount returned to us by those who
were due the government tax 10
kind. Mr.. Cox was one OF the men
who owed the government tax IN
kind, and on whom, among others,
we had an order for the corn due
from him, and the corn which he
delivered to myself and Judge Irwin
was delivered in return for corn
which we had allowed the tax officers
to use a. before stated.
Similar arrangements were made
all over the country at the time, and
so far from any wrong being done,
it was a matter of convenience to
both parties. Why this transaction
should been published or alluded to
by YOU, am at loss to comprehend.
No man will pretend to charge or in,
innate that the transaction involved
the slightest impropriety on my part,
or on the part of Judge Irwin. OF
course, you will publish this expla>
nation as it is given in obedience to
your own call. Respectfully,
GEORGE N. LESTER.

WOMEN.-There is a beauty in the
helplessness of women, The olinging
trust, which searches for extraneeus
support, is graceful and touching. I'll
midity is the attribute of her sex, but to
herself it is not without its dangers, its
inconveniences, and its sufferings. Her
first effort at comparative freedom is bit
ter enough, for the delicate mind shrinks
from every unaccustomed contact, and
the warm and gushing heart closes it
self, like the blossom of the sensitive
plant, at every approach. Man at once
determines his position, and asserts his
place-woman has hers to seek. And,
alas! I fear that, however she may ap-
pear to turn calm brow and quiet lip
to the crowd through which she makes
her way, that brow throbs, and that lip
quiyers to the last, until, like wound
ed bird, she can once more wing her
way to the tranquil home where the
dropping head will be fondly raised, and
the futtering heart laid to rest. The
dependence of women in the common
affairs of life is, nevertheless, rather the
effect of custom than necessity. We
have many and brilliant proofs that,
where need is, she can be sufficient to

drama of existence with credit, if not
with comfort, The yearnings of he1
solitary spirit, the outgushing of her
shrinking sensibility, the cravings OF
her heart are INDUCED only in the quiet
holiness of her solitude. The world sees
not, guesses not the conflict; and in the
ignorance of others lies her strength
Ihe secret Of her weakness is hidden in
the depths Of her own bosom, and she
moves on amid the heat and hurry Of
existence, and with seal set upon hel
nature, to be broken only by fond and
loving hands, or dissolved in the tears
OF recovered home affection,

SCARLET FEVER AND SMAIL-PoX
REMEDY.-A correspondent of the Stock
ton (Cal.) Herald writes as follows:
II herewith append recipe which
has been used, to my knowledge, in
hundreds of cases. It will prevent or
cure the smallpox though the pittings
are filling. When Jenner discovered
cow-pox in England, the world of sci
ence whirled an avalanche of fame on
his head, and when the most scientific
school of medicine in the world, that of
Paris, published this recipe as panacea
for smallpox, it passed unheeded. It is
as unfa1ling as fate, and ccHquers in ev-
cry instance. It is harmless when taken
by well person. 1t will also cure scar
let fever. Here is the recipe as have
used it, and cured my children of scarlet
fever here it is as have used it to cure
the smallpox when learned physicians
said the patient must die, it cured -
Snlphate of zinc, one grain fox-glove
(dlgltalis,) one grain half q teaspoonful
of sugar. Mix with two tablespoonfuls
OF water. When thoroughly mixed add
four ounces of water. Take spoonful
every hour. Either disease Will disap-
pear ia twelve hours. For child,
smaller doses. according toage. If coun-
ties would compel their physicians to
use this there would be no need of pes q
houses. If You value advice and experi-
ence use this for that terrible disease"

THE GREAT WALL OF CHINA.-The
great wall of China was measured In
many places by Mr.. Unthank, an Amer
ican engineer, lately engaged on sur
vey for Chinese railway. His meas.
urements gave the height at eighteen
feet. Every few hundred yards there is
tower, twenty-four feet square, and
twenty to forty-five feet high. The
foundation of the wall is of solid gran
ite. Mr.. Unthank brought with him 9
brick from the wall, which is supposed
to have been made two hundred years
before the time of Christ. In building
the immense stone fence to keen oul
the Tartars, the builders never attempt
ed to avoid mountains or chasms tC
save expense. For thirteen hundred
miles the wall goes over mountain and
plain, and every foot of the foundation
is of solid granite, and the rest of the
structure is solid masonry.
In some places the wall is built smooth
up against the bank, or precipices
where there is sheer descent of one
thousand feet. Small streams are arched
over, but in larger streams the walls
run to the water's edge, and tower il
built on each side. On the top of the
wall there are breastworks, or defenses
facing in and out, so the defending force
can pass from one to another without
being exposed to an enemy from eithel
side. To calculate the time in building
or cost of this wall is beyond humaE
skill. So far as the magnitude of this
work is concerned, it surpasses every.
thing in ancient or modern times, O.
which there is any trace. The pyra
mids of Egypt are nothing compared to
it.

CHEERFUL WOMEN.-In marrying,
men should seek happy women. They
make terrible mistake when they mar
ry for beauty, or talent, or for style, the
sweetest wives are those who possess the
magic secret of being happy under any
and every circumstance. Rich or poor,
high or low, it makes no difference, the
bright little fountain bubbles up just as
musically in their hearts. Nothing ever
goes wrong with them-ne trouble is too
serious for them to make the best of
it." Was ever the stream of calamity
SO dark and deep, that the sunlight of q
happy face falling across its turbid tides
would not wake an answering beam Z?
Why, then, joyous-tempered people
matter how cross and Grabbed you feel,
no matter if your brain is full of msdi-
tation on affecting dispensations, and
yonr stomach with medicines, pills and
tonics; just set one of these CHEEKY little
women talking to you, and we are net
afraid to wager anything she can cure
you. The long drawn line about the
mouth will relax-the cloud Of settled
gloom will vanish, nobody knows where,
and the first thing you know you will
be laughing. What a blessing these hap
py women are! How often their little
hands guide the ponderous machine of
life, with almost an invisible touch =
How welook forward through the weary
day to their fireside smiles! No one
knows, no one will ever know until the
day of judgment reveals, how much we
owe to these helpful, hopeful, uncom-
planning happy women. 80

From dreamless sleep, when the cleaning

Where songs Of delight. forever ring;
Yet the story is saddened by deaths grim

For the SPECTATOR,
THE HAPPY VALE.


Great mountain walls enclose
A broad and fertile vale,
Through which a river flows
Whose sources never fail.
Fair Shenandoah! Thou 7
Art free from every stain
Heaven seeth in thy glass
Its conscious face again.
Cities, and towns, and towers,
Arrest the gazer's eye;
Farln-halls with courts and meads
Around in quiet lie.
There go the plowmen stout
Across the fallows gray; trs
Here fiocks with snow-white fleece
Over the mountains stray.
The milkmaid sings her song;
Upon the morning air
Her tones are clear and sweet
And seem to mock at care.
Ger all the near sky bends
So tenderly above;
God loves this fertile vale
With his peculiar love.
