(the Jailtj ^utclligcacct. ATLANTA, GEORGIA. Tuesday Morning. Dec. 29, 1868. Euuoh.—Our fort-niiin says he had so much Chriatma* on the brain that in changing the date of the paper he lailed to change the day; consequently it reads “Friday” instead of *• Tuesday.” Do not, forget to go and gee Templeton’s Troupe at Davis’ Theatre to-night. See his splendid bill tor the evening. Thb attention of contractor* is called to the advertisement ot Mr. Sage, Engineer, Georgia Air Line Railroad Company to be found in our columue to-day. We take great pleasure ! in calling the atten tion of our citizens io the notice to be found in to-day’s paper, of a New Year’s Rail to be given by Atlanta Fire Company, No. 1, at the City Hall, on Tuesday even'mg, January 5th, 1 BOD. Tickets to be had from the committee, or book store of Phillips «fc Crew. Wb take pleasure in calling the attention of our readers to the advertisemeut of Mr. E. von Goidtsnoven, in to-day’s paper. He may be lound at Mr. Peter Huge’s, on Whitehall street Saturday afternoon Lieutenant Tim. Murphy captured a mole from a negro, supposed to have been stolen. Any one having lost a mule can make inquiries of the Lieutenant, as this one is in big possession. Monument.—We are indebted to the cour tesy of Mr. Gray, for the inspection at hie office, near the new Georgia Railroad Depot, of the beautiful and appropriate design ot the Confed- grate Monument, intended to be erected in At lanta, by llie Ladies’ Memorial Society. It reflects great credit on his taste. We un derstand the location of the Monument is to be somewhere on the open space netween the Pas senger Depot and Alabama street. It is a beaulitul shaft, one hundred feet high. Our readers are aware that Mr. Gray has the contract for furnishing the monument for the city of Rome. We saw but little to amuse Christmas. We noticed several fantaslics out on horseback. They created considerable fun for the little folks. To the young fiiend who so gracelully repre sented the Grecian bend, our advice is, watch out; no matter how fascinating or charming the ladies make themselves by action or dress, they do not tolerate criticism or ridicule. General Tom Thumb’s mi nature coach, drawn by two very small ponies, and driven by a dimin utive coachman, had the streets blockaded Fri day afternoon with followers. Commodore Nutt drew a crowded house at one of our popular saloons, to witness him play a game of billiards, on Saturday. General Thumb and troupe held two levees at Davis Hall on Saturday, appearing in their vari ous characters, songs, and dances. They were greeted with immense applause. We wish them a successful trip South. White’s Varieties not only had excellent bills during the holidays, but surpassed themselves iu their performances—nightly becoming more popular. The reception or & card on the 25ib, with the compliments of E. B. Pond, Ac, asking, as Sbukspeare has it, ‘‘May it please 3 r ou to dine with us,” caused a smile to pass over our counte nance expressive that “The herbal savor gave our senses delight.” From childhood we have hud an appreciative taste for good dinners ; so by three o’clock we were on hand, zealous to do duty, with conscientious fidelity. Reader, we will not bring a sigh to your lips by spreading beloro you the bill of fare; we found everything to gratify and satisfy the appe tite, and tuen to arouse it, when fainting away. Pen9ey, in a conversation with some astrono mer, confessed the fixing a new dish for the ta ble, brought pleasanter thoughts, uud was a greater event to him than the discovery ot a star. Ol stars, said he, “we have enough, of dishes we cau never have too many.” At the National we lound several new dishes to us; and all things iu the greatest profusion. Dr. Johnson would have louiul himself forgoitul ot hia Aunt Ford, in indulging iu the saddle of mutton with jelly; Byron would have laid aside his wish to keep lean iu doing justice to baked shad, with champage sauce; Diogenes would have turned with disgust bom his cabbage and water, at seeing a braissee ol quails on toast; Limb would have found the stuffed pig to his taste; Dr. Parr’s palate would have be*.n tick led with lobster salad; and Goldsmith would have,placed to one side his boiled milk for the delicious coflee. We lound the dinner perfect, fully sustaining the reputation of the National. Mr. Pond has studied huniau nature, the na ture ol travelers, and boarders. The hotel is well furnished. Mr. Pond does uot attempt to draw by display : everything is neat and in good taste, but there is no effort to arrest travelers by thi3. Vau Amburg use to say the way to take irrational animals, use bait. Mr. Pond has in formed himself as to man—traveling man—and liis dining room—can draw. CnnrsTMAS.—We might fill our column with little personal matters, which came under our observation iu the city during the holidays, iu the way ol fights, bloody noses, damaged hats, and dusty clothes; we could tell that Bourbon was badly puuislied, and Egg-nog lay around loose, etc., etc.; but shall we miuister to the baser appetite of humau nature ? We could ap pend a long list of arrivals at Tim Murphy’s Hotel during the past lew days, but is it uot more desirable to lose the reputation of telling all tire news rather than spread belore the pub lic, that which lmd belter remain unwritten ?— We do uot care to indulge a vicious taste, nor stimulate nu unworthy feeling, and we promised only a day or two ago, not to wound any bunts by making public the frailties ol the erring. It Was Ciiiisimas, and coming .only once a year, we will overlook the holiday excitements. By uot bringing to light the various little dif ficulties, or reporting names, we may not make “a successful run,” well we hope our mulives are properly construed. We say, however, watch out, we are silent when we will call 1 Central. Presbyterian OiiurCH Sabbath School, Christmas Eve.—It is difficult to de scribe so beautiful a thing as this reunion was. The City Hall was tasteluily decorated, and two large cedars laden with gills. A large number ^ of parents and children were present, and ail conducted in the best order. The great feature of the evening was the veritable Santa Clause. Became in propria, persona; who he was, or ■ how he came there no one seemed to know. He left as mysteriously as he came. We wish we had space to give our readers the order of exercises, and could do justice to the very fine singing led by Mr. Craig. Would that we could describe each happy face as the gifts were distributed. We have been requested by the popular and beloved pastor to n turn his sincere thanks for the many beautiful gifts to himself. The Rev. Dr. Brantly gave tis, as lie always does, the perfection ot an address. What a marvellous faculty he has ol doing everything just right. We regret at not being able to spread it before our readers. May his days be long on the earth, aud many happy retnrns of the day to him. The evening closed- by a call for Major Wl.it- ner by S mta Claus. The Major is the Superin temleut of this school, and all who know, ad mire him, when a magnificent Photographic Album was presented him by the teashers, ac companied by the following (which we hope we may be pardoned lor saying is from the gifted pen of the accomplished Major J. R B.,) and was handsomely read by Santa Claus : Thou, who. wbh watchful aye each Sabbath day Hast marked oar progress with parental care — Whose will our wish Is ever to obey— W hose pride in common we hare sought to share; If (.od hath strewn our paths with blossoms lair. Binding our brows with garlands fresh as May - It is because Thy hand Old plucn them irom decay. With Christian fabh we tender thee this token ; Nor deein it worthless, trifle thon/h it be: It l/i’ars a tang age. which, by words Unspoken, Is eloquent with classic imagery; Pur tU iu^h It be nor gem, nor gold to thee. It is a pledge ot friendship, which unbroken, No lightning stroke may rend as forests old, and oaken. Thou who hast planted in the heart of youth, As manna scut to nurture it irom Heaven. » Thoughts oi Religion—infant germs of Truth, And to their sou s a i obler purpose given; When by the surges they were outward driven, As bhip9 at se t by tempests lashed forsooth. Hast scattered blessings reund us wiLb a bind of ruth. Much unto which by nature we were blind, Tlion hast caused Truth to circle witu its light. When through the labarynths ot doubt the mind Was led by thee to a prophetic right, Things to divine, though oiten viewed aright. As often Vexed the wisdom of ni unkind When want ol faith had left them undefined. Thou hast the way Illumed with light, aud set The sky with stars by other eyes anseau ; Plucked flowers from weeds, wh’Ch with the mildew wet. They seagirt the light from poison-growths between ; Home waste of thistles made to sin tie with green ; Weak laith uplifted, as ihu minaret Above our heads, with hope, we never can forget. Then may this Album he a testament. To mind theo of thine unaffected worth. As some lights'ar iu yonder Armament,' The pilgrim’s uasrage gladdens on the earth; Nor diem it lightly stuce it had its birth In hopes forever with our being b ent— tis memories we would have it represent. To which Superintendent, Major Whilner re plied : Santa Claus : This is altogether a surprise to me, but a most agreeable one. I assure you this beautihil present, from my co-laborers, the Teachers of the Central Presbyterian School, coruiug, as it does, at the close of my term ol office as Superintendent, is most gratefully ac cepted. 1 can scarce find words to express ntj r appreciation of it. Nothing could be so ac ceptable as this Album. Containing the famil iar faces of the ladies and gentlemen, who have so faithfully worked as Teachers in our School, during the past year To be assured of their esteem, and their approval of my labors, indeed fills my heart with gratification. Allow mo to add, Sir, though so beautifully expressed, 1 cannot accept without gratification, the praises bestowed in the address you have just read. Whatever success has attended my administration as Superintendent, I do not hesi tate to say here, as I have said repeatedly in the school room, lias been mainly due, under God to our noble band ot Teachers. And I trust our visiting friends from other schools, who have favored us with their presence to-night, will Bufler me to testify publicly, which I do most siucerely, that in all my life, in all the schools I have been connected with, or have visited, I have never known Teachers, by their piety, their higlt appreciation of their resposibil- itit?s and fidelity, in discharging them; their pa tient, cordial, and kind spirit ever evinced to wards their Superintendent, were better qualified for tbeir responsible duties, than those of the Central Presbyterian Sunday School. To be Superintendent with such a corps of assistauts, is truly a pleasant position—to succeed as such, was almost unavoidable. Again I thank my co-laborers tor this valuable testimonial.

T HIS GUANO Is found by experience to po-sess fnlly equal, and, under eorne conditions, gi eater, ferti- izing power than Fernvian Gnano. Its cost per ton is at teast $30 less than Peruvian; hence, planters ean atioid to use it more liberally, and thus realize greater benefits, r According to the experience of Wm. H. Young, Esq., of Columbus. Ga., to whom wo reler, 20 • pounds per acre of Soluble Pacific Gnano increased the crop three to four times; 400 pounds per acre increased the crop five to six rimes. Directions for Use; -Strew one half the quantity to be applied per acre 1u tre drill, or hill, end piaiit upon it. When the cotton or corn is brought to a stand, and well up, i-ay tour or five inches, sow ibe other halt broadcast between the rows, before the plows. This is found to be n better method than to apply all in the drill. This Guano not only increases theorop so largely, but matures it from two to four weeks earlier—thus addins so long a time to the bearing season, and makes a good crop, notwithstanding it be- attacked by caterpillar. The use of this Gnano in Georgia oa the last crop paid from 200 to 400 p r cent, on the investment. Every planter, who is incredulous as to the-e facts, should at hast satisfy hio seirby a trial on a small scale, as the outlay will be small, while the experience gained Wdi prove of great value. The culture of poor lana will not compensate wi-hout the use of conceutra ed ferti lizers, andThat which is be-t, at least cost, must be pre ferred. See testimonials annexed. For further infor mation, certificates, price, e c , ap; ly to ADAIR A BRO., Selling Agents, Atlanta, Georgia. JOHN S. REESE A CO., Gen’l Agents, Baltimore, Md.

Not withstanding a ten weeks’ drought, and the attach of the caterpillar, T gathered 850 pounde cotton per acre. From the same land, without the Guano. I gathered only 2> 0 pounds cotton—say less taan one-fo jr.h the quan tity. E. MORRIS. Atlanta, Ga., Dec. 12th. 1868. M*tsr». Adair A Brother: I used this year the Solub’e Pacific Guano, bought of you, at the ra: e ol 100 pounds r jr acre on cotton planted three ieet apart, in the drill. am confident it is a pure article, and believe increased the yield double, notwithstanding a ten weeks’ drought and serious attack of caterpillar. J, M. CALHOUN. Atllanta. Ga., Dec. 10th, 1868. Messrs. Adair A Brother: Gents—I bought of you last spring one ton Soluble Pacific Gnano, and put on cotton. It came fu ly up to my expectations, and I cheerfully recommend it to planters as a profitable fertilizer for Cotton. M. G. DOBBINS. Colujlbus, Ga., December, 1863. John S, Bees* A Co: Bear Sirs—Another season con firms my previously expressed convictions, that the soluble Pacific Guano, as compared with Peruvian, is fully as good—indeed, better. 1 have now tested it suf ficiently, using each side by side ior two seasons, apply ing the same weight of each per acre, ana in every case the Pacific has given the best results on cotton, corn, potaioe.-, and small grain, and the testimony I have irom a great many planters confirms my experience. WM. H. YOUNG. Charles A. Peabody, Esq . of Lee county, Alabama, in a letter to William H. Young, says: “The Peruvian Guano I had before used, aud know it to be an invaluable fertilizer for cotton. I now find the boluhle Pacific to be equally as good. At the eame price, I would as soon have it for cotton or corn as the Peruvian; some of my hands insist that it is better.” dec!5 — Ilimn GENBBAL mSDRUffiE AGENCY JTIVO. C.
