Whatever objections m y bo raised to
tbo teaching? .of works upon etiquette,
tberu ran be no sound argument against a
senes of simple and brief hints, which
sbttll operate as precautions against mis
takes in personal Conduct.
Avoid intermaddiing with the affairs of
othsrs. This is a most common fault.
A number cf people seldom meet but
they hegin discussing the affairs of some
on# who li absent. Thu is not only un-
cha. i table, but positively unjust. It is
equivalent te trying a couse in the absence
cf the person implicated.
Even in the criminal code, a prisoner is
presumed to be innorent until he is found
guilty. Society, however, is loss just,and
passe? judgment without hearing the de
fence.
Depend upon it, as certain rule, that the
people u ho vmte with you in disrupting
tie affairs of others, in ft proeeed to sran-
daliie you the moment you depart.
Re continent in tho avowal of principle.
Do not deny to-day that which you assert-

Avoid falsehood. There enn bo iound
no higher virtue than that of truth.
Bo honest. Not only be can so "honesty

“Do thou this dav thy daily duty ?”
Avoid tolling Idle tales, which is like
firing arrows in the dark ; jou know hot

Avoid talking about you reelf; praising

Bo punctual. One minute too Into has
lost many a golden opportunity. Besides
which, the want of punctuality is an af
front offered to the person to whom your
presence is due.
Bo polite. Politeness is the poetry of
conduct, nod, like poetry, it has many
qualities.
Lot not- your politeness bo too florid,
but of that gentlo kind which indicates
refined nuturo.
It Is true, indeed, that wo should not
dissemble and fl niter in company; but a
man may be very a reoable, strictly con
sistent with truth and sincerity,"by a prti-
dent silence where ho cannot concur, and
a pleasing nssent where he can.
Never, In a mixed company, speak dis
respectfully of woman.
Treat your parents with the greatest
possible respect. Ku*tr*in yourself even
from smiling at their foibles or their
weukne-tea. Ohi-y u>«wn, «r«r» t»b«ul«4 you
yourself be of maiure age.
To restrain your dcsirea for indulgences
is not only woli bred, but it is heroic.—
Much good m»uIts fYt»m it. Watch well
the little sins, and you will escape those
which wo more gnus. This applies not
only to morals, but to the minor morn li
the mannors.
A badly tampered rasn, and he who has
no command over his passions, will rarely
become a polished gentleman.
If you Iihv.i children, bo careful to be
have well before thqm. Remember that
the child naturally and easily imitates the
actions of his parents, be t’hny good or
evil. * .
Anything which is essentially out of
place is vulgar. Thus, an over familiarity
with servants K vulgar, beenuso it ia out
of place, and can onlv lead to a bad re
sult.
Now and then you meet with a person
so exactly formed to ploase that ho will
gnin upon every one that hears or bn-
holds him. 1 hi* disposition is not meroly
tho gift of r.nturo, but frequently tho ef
fort of much knowledge n( tho world and
a command over thn passion*.

At midnight the great supper hall is
thrown open and their majesties lead tho
way to a vast table, decorutod with the
most perfect taste, and loaded with every
delicacy that refinement in French cuisine
can produce or pulato crave, including
exquisite wines brought, by tho Emporor
from Europe, while tho board groans
with tho most superb silverware and nor-
colian, hearing the imperial arms, it is
not easy to conceive groater richness,
profusion or refined tu-de than is hero dis
played. Their majesties presently retire,
whon tho affair relaxes a litile from its
slide formality, and officers and civilians
vie in their uitenii>ms to such ladies as
havo not followed the Imperial couple.
Gar loti a is decidedly and indisputably

Completion of the Reconstruction cf
the Western A Atlantic Railroad.
UKNXRAL WINBLOW'8 LETT UR TO TH*
PRES I DENT.
Wo havo been favorod with a perusal
and copy of the following letter addressed
by Brig. Gen. Winslow to the President
of a meeting held in Atlanta on the 4th
inst., announcing the completion, or re
construction, of the Wostern A Atlantic
Railroad—that great connecting link in
the long lines of similar works of internal
improvement, connecting the South with
the North, and which restores direct com
munication between the two sections.
Tho work alluded to was originally con
structed, at a cost of $G 000.000. by the
State, and while it proved for many years
a link in the lines of railroads North aud
South, of exceeding value to them all, it
r troved inestimable in its value to Georgia
n the development of her‘resources, and
for many years, under Kx-Gov. Brown's
judicious management, was a source from
which large revenues were obtainod by
the Stale. We therefore congratulate the
whole country upon its reconstruction.
To Qen. Winslow much credit is due for
the speedy restoration to use of this great
work. With this officar, we also "trust
that the people of Atlanta, whose inter-*
nets are to closely connected with thoaev>f
Its railroads, will always evidence a-f)»lrit
or conciliation in dealing with the ques*
lions of the past" This, we ae trustT will
he the epirit of our whole people. It U
what duty demands, and what pafrsoftsm;
in the tfuo meaning of the word, reauires.
Below the reader will find Gen. Wins*
low's very appropuate letter to the Presi
dent of the meeting :

Dicar Sir : I take ploasurein announc
ing through you, the completion of the
W estern A Atlantic Railroad, and there

tion with tho Northern 8tates.
The reconstruction of this line of rail
road should be regarded with much satis
faction by all citizens of Georgia; that
it has hoen done at the expense of the
United States Government, should be re
ceived as an evidence of the good will
and kindly interest of the authorities at
Washington in the welfare hnd prosperity
of all Us friends, South as well as North;
and that the track nhnald V»« ftirUhai on

allegiance and support.

The Central Railroad.
The Central Railroad, with its steels,has
now been turned over to tho Directors by
the military authorities.
The distance by this road from (Savannah
to Macon is 1U01 miles. Of this distance
in Sherman's march, 1U0 miles was de
stroyed. Twenty miles of this, from Ma-
c»>« w l**Mt luuiti nqiai rad. and ia
now in active operation.
Tho commencement of tho repairs on
the road from bore to Millon, 79 miles,
will bo commenced ut onco.
Ml Hen is the intersection of tho Augus
ta and Bavnnnsh Kuilroud, and that road
requiros about IK miles of rebuilding,
which with mile , now in operation, will
iiiaku a railroad connection between Eu-
vannah and Augusta of 182 miles.
Thence, by the Georgia Railroad, 171
miles to Atlnnth, and from thonco, by the
Macon and Western Railroad 10ft miles,
direct communication will bo bad with
Macon.
It is contemplated to at onco rebuild the
eighteou miles of tho road from Bavannab
to Waynesboro', which, in connection
with the roads now in operation, will
make direct railroad communication with
Macon, Augusta, Columbus, West Point,
and all of Southwestern Georgia.
Of tbo branch from Gordon to Ifialonr
ton, BH miles in length, about six miles was
destroyed in Shorman’s march, together
with three bridges over Buck Creek, Fish
ing Creek and little River. This road has
been thoroughly repaired, and is now in
successful operation from Macon to Ea-
tonton, 58 miles.
Tho distanco from Millen to Gordon is
81 miles, and the greater portion has been
destroyed. The work of ropairs will be
gin at once, and progress will bo made as
rapidly as possible.
A large force will bo put on at once,
and the work will he pushed forward witli
every effort. The company has abundant
means, and the importance of the road to
tho people has been fully appreciated by
the directors, but having had no coatrol ol
the road uutH very recently, we feel con
vioced that their host exertions will be.
used to put the road in successful opera
tion as soon as possible.
The whole cost of tho reconstruction
will probably be about one million of dol
lars, and the prospect now is that the work
will be so far completed as to give us di
rect communication with Augusta by the
middle of September.
Tbo Contral Railroad has a perpetual
lunse of the branch road from Millen to
Augusta, and also of the road from Gor
don to Eaton, with the proprietorship of
thn principal portion of the latter,—Sav,

Death or M**- Sioouenet.—Mrs.
Lydia Huntley Sigourney died at Hart
ford on Saturday, in bor 74th year. Her
reputation as a poet dates back to a period
antecedent to the birth of many of her
present adult rendors; her first volume
having been published just fifty years
ago. ller maiden nimo was Huntley.—
She was born In Norwich, Conn., Sept. 1,
1791. She engaged in teaching at the age
of nineteen, ana four years later removed
to If mford, where her talents and worth
gained her the band of Mr. Charles Si-
f 'Ourney, a merchant of that city. Her
ife was devoted to literature, and her
prod ii* lions have been very numerous,
filling about fifty volumes. Her compo
sitions were chiefly poetical, though seve
ral inlerenting prose works have appeared
from her pen. Her subjects are generally
of a religious character, and exl libit re
fined thought, a warm, but pare and
healthful imagination, a cultivated ear,
delicate sensibility, and earnest Christian
faith. Had she written lea* copiously, it
would perhaps have been better for her
reputation; vet there are many of her po-
em* that wifi long dwell in the memory
and affection of the public.
2 A special to Now York from Washing
ton, of the 29tb, says: .The meeting called
here lost evening to protest mrainst the
recently appointed Provisional Governor
of Alabama, Mr. Parsons, was a great
failure, only two loyal Alabamians being
present.
Tub Boll Run Monuments not De
stroy bd.—The Washington Chronicle'
says; The sensation reports relative to the
dmtruction of the monuments erected at
Groveton and Bull Run are false in the
extreme. We have the anthority of the
Commending General of thi* Department
to deny such reports.

LA.W AND ORDER. *
Charge if Judge O. ,-t. Tjochranc lo the
Grtttul Jury of Dibh County, nt the Man
term of the Circuit Court, 1805.
OonUemon of thq Grand Jury; You
nrn convened thi* morning under circum
stances which invito your attention to in
terests incomparably the most extensive
and important that over engaged the pub
lic mind. With all tho olemqnts of so
ciety loosening beneath your foot, and all
the pillars of the social public tottering,
you, as representatives of tho civil order,
arc loft standing by virtue of powers in
herited from tho g’-eat fountain of the
common law, and (lowing from tho sove
roijFnty of the State; powers which have
neither been Acquired or impaired by the
convention* or (l.e legislative enactments
of the last four year*. In Januar*, 1861,
in a puMighed legul argument, I held that
tho convention of Georgia "was uot abso
lute OTvr nil rights tlmt nil acta of con
ventions outside Die constitutions of the
States demanded tho people's (-.unction;”
that “the sovereignty of the people hud
been divided, its proper spheres atqigned,
its m de of action directed by the consti
tution of tlmBtalrt. The judicial, legitia-
tiv» and exe.cntive -departments were (he
ngnntr. of the internal sovereignty, and n
called to resume the external
-uH n ojuT w^r-rTu T’.h’krrgfl, after,
amend or impair them."
This view 1 hold whon the first drops ..f
tho storm of war were falling upon us,
and I reiterate them to-d«v, and therefore
regard you convened and this court in
session by virtue of legal and constitu
tionxl right, under powers that are inhe
rent in tho constitutional functions of the
Htate.
Tho question ns to whether there is a
constitutional officer to co operate with
you in transacting the business is one
which the delicacy of tuy position dv-
mands 1 shall neither raise nor adjudge,
for I do not come here to hold court, but
lo meet you and put the machinery in or
der.
In occupying this seat I cannot refra n
from looking back to the pleasing rela
tion* wn have homo in the paat. Elevated
to tho hunch at tho outset of thn war, it
has been my fortune to hold tho scalos of
justice at a time whon ovory. prejudice of
tho public mind w»«s blur.ing with discord;
public questions involving the most ex
citing public interests were continually
before mo, and to hnvo given judgments
satisfactory to nil waa more than I could
havo oxpootod. I can only tniRtthat those
for whom I administered law will credit
mo with independence in dispensing jus
tice and a determination to protect the
citizen from oppression. My record as a
judicial officer is made up—my decision
on every important legal question arising
(luring the war published. I have nothing
to add, and nothing to take away. With
that record tny name will go down among
the memories of the circuit as one, 1 trust,
who never yielded to necessity nor bent
his judgment to the caprices oi' power.
Tho maintenance of law 1 havo always
rogarded as tho essential element of lib
erty, and to urge upon ovory man in thi*
circuit tho necessity of supporting tho
law* that now govern the land is the ob
ject And purpose of my meeting you hero
this day.
This is an immense) duty, rising from a
f rroat occasion, und if the opportunity is
ost it may novor return. It would be, in
tny judgment, tho darkest outrage a man
could commit ugainst Immunity to coun
sel any resistance to the restoration of
peace ready to flow through tho channels
of the law. Conscience will sting in tho
grave hitn who ia this hour does not lend
functions of the country. The voice of
family, country und posterity appouls to
every ono who holds a place in tho organi
sation of power to bring back, .with cor
dial co-operation, thu guardians of the
public weal, lo heal the wounds, compose
the dissontions and restore the liberty of
tho people. "AWan CorUthum" was tho
remark of Cicero, whon teaching the
principle of morality to his son Marcus,
illustrating llml to ho great, wo must for
get tho sensitiveness and selfishness of
weak men, and with uu ascension of rea-
son rise up to the level of great occasions.
We can ndmiro the poetry of feeling that
loves a cautio with all tho idolatry of a
mistress; but the passion in not go lofty as
tho reasoning und steady affection of a
wife. Wo may go too fur, und when w
loso sight of our own best interests, an
r -‘ ~- ' disasters,
) do go
involve Uio futu
too fur.
Love of country is evidenced by acts
which confer honor, prosperity ami peace
upon tho land ; acts of wild and romantic
folly, resulting in crime, to serve a coun
try, evidoncos fanaticism. Like the hus
band growing drunk toasting hht wife,
who at homo weeps for Ida return, is the
love of country some give, wlm never did
aught but talk, and whose sentiment, like
tho toast of tho drunken husbund to his
wife, brings only tear* and trouble. On
this occasion, gentlemen, 1 speak my
honest conviction to you when 1 say every
man must put down, by example and hy
counsel, every motion of discontent, pro
ducing bickering, si rife and bloodshed,
and every one be a peace « fflcet, acting
on tbe determined purpose that every
mail who violuitei law, or counsels iu vio-
lalion, shall suffer the penalty such disor-
f unizer in times like these should suffer.
'his is the love of country L enjoin upon
you. Now, when the -wur is over, and
everything tends to peace, let us have it
and go to our peaceful pursuits in life.
Some may think that liberty of speech has
become u mockery,if men are not allowed
to abu»e und talk as they plea*e. This
matter has always in practice been misun*
dorstood. Tbe liberty of reason end ma
uia are not more distinct. Tbe madman
docs as he pleas***, hut it does not to I jo w
that every sensible man tony act like he
Wat Diad ; the law rostiains even pasHiun.
Vituperative epithet* on public m«*ii are
not evidence! of liberty of speech; offi
cials mo representative men embodying
the dignity and j-epresoiiiing thn power of
position, und the outpourings of disap*
poinlmeni und malice fbouid be restrain
ed. Liberty of opinion <Jo«<* not consist
in conceptions of bate which rankle into
crime. Opinions ripening into acts must
bo in view of law, pm-ific—und .oleriuice
in opiuion is onu ol the elmm nti of peace;
tuon may differ, like Polybius and Fliny,
upon every subject, moral, *o«ia! and re
ligious, and remain, like them, tho warm-
ost and most devoted friuids.
Whon we sco tin present condition of
our people, w« are forced to utter our
earnest convictions uguinst all crimination
and recrimination. It is not to he hoped
that tho teaching, education and training
of an age can bo thrown aside in an hour,
or that a man can shake off' his opinions
like apple* from a troo. Thete opinions
may remain, nay, will remain. Tho rea
son and judgment, however, of thn peo
ple, will see the necessity of pubordina*
ting them to tho crisis. Ameliorations of
condition may exist without system* of
violence, and our reflection teaches that
liberty consists not in abstractions, but
equalities—equalities political, civil and I
religious; equalities of order, bm-ed on I
the respect of all and cadi. # Tho practical
must take.tha place of theory, and ocon*
omy tho place of politics.
We loarn by exporience, that a too
overweening estimate cf one's self or
couotrv, may produce prido and obstina
cy, and that thuae. either in nations or in
dividuals, generally end in concession. In
our condition, however, I do not appre
hend that pride will be any obstacle in tbe
path ot progress. But yet much has been
achieved for history, much for poetry to
twine its arte* of »ong around, much for
glory in the future. The work! will rec»
••nee to M'r. KrC'arVer. ’ - — * — ogni/.e tho grandeur of thi* nation, its
May 1,1186. WM. L. WORNUM. j power t* fell amid the courts of foreign
princes, and its flag wave over the desti
nies of our race.
But witli then), tho people reduced, to
poverty, must euo tho spirit in which their
interests aro to be protected, before we can
anticipate oither prido or enthusiasm. The
institutions of tho land will be re-organ
ized, tbe constitutions of the States chan
ged, and in the policy foreshadowed by
the President of tho United Btates, the
masses of the people will have a voice in
fixing and fettling their own rights and
destiny. Tim wisdom of the heart, and
the logic of necessity, will counsel their
notion. Though ndw tossed upon tho
waves, we trust soon to see thn Dove over
tho wasto of waters, coming with broken
wing again to shelter in the Ark, and the
BiMtn, launching forth to a now destiny,
will curry tho irelghted hopes and prayers
of tho people.
Cleared for action in the field of indus
try and enterprise, Georgia will soon re
sume her position, and wealth and pros
perity pour again into her tap. The na
tion id youn h — tho dews of its baptism
scarce wet upon its forehead—and we look
to a manly stride over tho troubles of thn
past, and an un wearied march to prosper
ity. Our fields will soon resound with
the hum of industry, our anvils ring with
the music of labor, our people won back
to piuccful pursuits by family associa
tions, and the Influences of religion give
a new itnpeiu- to civilif ition ; nnd-undcr
thn inspiration of fortune, the nation
plume itself and arch it* neck for a flight
to immorta.iiy. Buch, I trust, will be our
destiny, counselled by "wisdom, justice
and moderation," and may God in his
infinite mercy send angola .o lift every
shadow trom our path to tbo destiny that
awaits us.
My prayer for the country is the iovo-
cation of my heart, for you have honored
mo; and with Georgia, as I would havo
shared her glory, I will remain to share
her fate. To sit by her sick bud, is a duty
the instinct of honor prompts. To coun
sel her for prosperity, the instinct of rea
son equally demands. I would he untrue
to duty, myself and you, if l permitted
pride to blend with my counsels, or freeze
tho stream of convicti n that flows from
the inmost recesses of my soul.
I therefore counsel, with all the assavB-
ration of truth, obodicnoa to the laws and
constituted authorities ; a cheerful acqui
escence to the designs ol 1’rovidence; an
unmurmuring assent to the decree of fate;
and hy our readiness to accept the position
God has assigned us, illustrate our desire
for the restoration of law, order and gov
ernment, (hat wo may enter our career,
and save to our children and children's
children, what has been left by the storm
that has swept ovor us.
