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- nd To'tertUy. Vnu m«r fuiry Ihtl you K»in f.Tnr hv ruh'-rvionoy; but tn f.r from jj.ininK favor, you lose respool. Avoid falsehood. There enn bo iound no higher virtue than that of truth. Bo honest. Not only be can so "honesty .i tho beet policy,” but because it Is a du ly to God and to mao. * iid idleness; it is the parent of many Canyon privy, "Give us this day our daily bread," anil not hear the reply, “Do thou this dav thy daily duty ?” Avoid tolling Idle tales, which is like firing arrows in the dark ; jou know hot into whose heart thoy may fall. Avoid talking about you reelf; praising your own works, and proclaiming your own deeds. If they nro good, they will proclaim ihamselvee; if bad, tho less you \u brttor. hulo thing*. f>n Tpsity uj tho heart is more l doods of minor kindness, gets which may partake of 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*. Ceremonies.—All ceremonies are ip themselves very ; illy things, List yi « man of the world should know thorn.— They are I bo outworks of manners and decency, which would be too often bro ken in upon if it were not far that defence which keejr the enemy at ji proper dis- Therefnre, always treat fools and « n fur |V u/i‘7* *ody doforraM.

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 : Headqrs. IstBrioadf, 4th DmsioN, Cavalry Corps, M.

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 this day, the anniversary of one soglorl- *s history, may be re- 85 J spirit of conciliation in dealing with the questions of the past, and remember that the United States .Government, good os it is great, requires of them unhesitating allegiance and support. W' ith much respect, 1 have the honor to be, Your obodinnt servant, • E. F. WlNHLOW, Brevet Brigadier General. 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, Herald, 2isf. 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. 1864. STAMP DUTIES. 1865. Frem end after August I, 1NOI.

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.

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.
